■ FEMA report
recommends
increasing Coast
flood elevations
From Staff Reports
PASCAGOULA — A Federal
Emergency Management
Agency report issuing advisory flood elevations for Jackson,
Harrison and Hancock counties, says that 100-year flood
elevations for structures in the
three coastal counties are from
3 to 9 feet too low.
A 100-year flood event is the
estimated maximum flood
depth that could occur once
every 100 years.
For Jackson County, that
means homes in some coastal
areas may have to be elevated
3 to 5 feet higher than the elevations that are listed on the
current Flood Insurance Rate
Map, or FIRM, according to
information about the advisory
released Wednesday.
The elevations in the current
FIRM, according to a press
release on the analysis, were
based on studies done more
than 25 years ago.
While county officials are not
required to adopt the advisory
flood regulations, according to
the agency, “FEMA strongly
encourages Harrison, Jackson
and Hancock counties to use
the new data to guide local
decisions regarding building
elevations and reconstruction
in coastal areas.”
Continued use of the current
elevations, known as Base
Flood Elevations, could result
in increased damages to buildings during future hurricanes,
FEMA officials said.
Local governments are
responsible for establishing
elevation and construction
standards.
“The BFE provides communities participating in the
National Flood Insurance Program with a standard level of
protection,” according to the
analysis. “However, the effects
of the storm and of other recent
storm events point to the need
for a re-evaluation of existing
data. The advisory flood elevations are an effort to provide
the community with more accurate, up-to-date data. The new
advisory flood elevations more
accurately depict conditions as
they exist today.”
The new elevations, according to the FEMA release, are
still well below the storm surge
elevations that occurred in
most areas during Hurricane
Katrina, although future CatSee ELEVATIONS, Page 10-A

WILMA A KILLER
Hurricane one of strongest ever;
winds at 155 — threatens Florida
■ Fourth-graders
score below basic
reading standards
By FREDDY CUEVAS
The Associated Press
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — Hurricane Wilma
rapidly strengthened into
one of the Americas’ most
intense storms ever and
lashed Caribbean coastlines
Wednesday, forcing tourists
to flee as it threatened to
slam into Cancun and southern Florida.
Wilma briefly grew into a
monstrous Category 5 storm
before weakening to a Category 4 Wednesday night.
The storm forced thousands
of people to evacuate lowlying areas in a 600-mile
swath covering Cuba, Belize,
Honduras, Jamaica, Haiti
and the Cayman Islands,
officials said.
At least 13 deaths have
been blamed on Wilma this
week, including a man who
drowned Wednesday while
trying to cross a river that
overflowed its banks in
AP
southern Haiti.

for slow response

NAPLES, Fla. — In what
has become an all-too-familiar
drill, Floridians boarded up
windows, gassed up their cars
and bought storm supplies
Wednesday. But this time
they were looking at one of
the most intense hurricanes
ever recorded in the Atlantic.
Hurricane Wilma exploded
briefly into a Category 5 monster with winds of 175 mph
before weakening to a Category 4 Wednesday night.
Forecasters warned it could
smash into southwestern
Florida on Saturday with
towering waves, and then
work its way up the East
Coast with devastating effect.
“I don’t think I want to live
in Florida,” said Betty Bartelson, a Pennsylvania tourist
visiting Marco Island. She
planned to flee across the
state to Fort Lauderdale.
Like Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita earlier this season,
Wilma was expected to weaken before coming ashore. But
after seeing what those
storms did — and after four
storms hit Florida in quick
JACKSON (AP) — A majority
of the Mississippi’s fourthgraders scored below the basic
proficiency levels in reading,
according to
study released
Wednesday by
the U.S. Department of
Education.
The 2005 results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress
measures proficiency of fourthand eighth-grade students in
the subjects of math and reading. The results are used to see
how well the country is doing
on the test “The Nation’s Report
Card.”
In Mississippi, 48 percent of
fourth grade students tested at
the basic or above in reading,
with a total of 52 percent testing
below that level, the study

succession last year — many
people were taking no
chances.
Officials began clearing
tens of thousands of people
out of the low-lying Florida
Keys.
“We had well over a 1,000
lives lost in Katrina. If
Wilma, you know, comes into
the U.S., to the Florida Coast
as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane, that potential for large
loss of life is with us,” National Hurricane Center Director
Max Mayfield said.
At one point, Wilma was
the most intense hurricane
recorded in the Atlantic as
measured by its pressure.
Early Wednesday, the storm’s
pressure dropped to 882 millibars, the lowest reading ever
in an Atlantic-basin hurricane. Typically, the lower the
pressure, the faster air rushes into a storm.
By evening, Wilma had

Wednesday at a store in Bonita Springs, Fla. The Braggs
are preparing for Hurricane Wilma.
WASHINGTON — Most of
FEMA’s problems in dealing
with disasters can be fixed with
better planning, Homeland
Security Secretary Michael
Chertoff told
Congress on
Wednesday.
“We are going
to be very prepared for Hurricane
Wilma,” he
said of the
storm on the
horizon.
Chertoff
Testifying
before a special House committee created to probe the
slow federal response to Katrina, Chertoff deflected questions
about his own actions by telling
lawmakers he had relied on
Federal Emergency Management Agency experts with
decades of experience in hurricane response.

Marietta, Ohio sixth city to offer post-Katrina aid to Gautier
By JOY E. STODGHILL
The Mississippi Press
GAUTIER — Gautier’s family keeps expanding.
Marietta, Ohio, is the sixth sister city to come
to Gautier’s aid since Hurricane Katrina struck
Aug. 29.
Located at the confluence of the Muskingum
and Ohio Rivers, Marietta is the “oldest permanent settlement in Ohio,” said Mayor
Michael Mullen.
Burgaw, N.C., Allendale Beach, Fla., Mesa,
Ariz., and Hampstead, Md. as well as the Villas
of Lincolnwood, Ill., have also adopted Gautier
Like the four new mayors in the Jackson
County cities, Mullen faced an unprecedented
disaster soon after taking office in January
2004 — the two largest floods the city has seen
in 40 years.
The second flood in September 2004, came as
a direct result of Hurricane Ivan’s far-reaching devastation and affected homes and businesses. A total of 450 businesses in Washington
County, where Marietta is the county seat, were
affected by the flood waters, Mullen said.
As a result of Marietta’s recent tragedy, the
Ohio city’s 15,000 residents wanted to do something for their Southern neighbors with a “people-to-people approach,” Mullen said. The Community Action Program Corp. of Washington-

MOSS POINT — A Community Street home
that withstood the winds and water of Hurricane
Katrina may still be in harm’s way.
Willean and Howard Buckley’s home is in the
pathway of an 1,800-pound ladder dangling
from a municipal water tank at Community
and Palmetto streets. The winds from the storm
left the ladder in a precarious position that engineers say could be dangerous.
A letter from the city was hand-delivered
Tuesday to the Buckleys informing them of the
danger and strongly suggesting they evacuate.
City Attorney Richie Perkins said an engineer
inspected it and recommended the two homes
near the tower be evacuated and that letters be
delivered “to put them on notice of the peril.”
He said the letter did not intend to imply the
evacuation was mandatory “in the sense that
people would be removed if they didn’t leave.”
The engineer also recommended the streets

Perkins said steps are being taken to rent a
crane large enough to remove the ladder from
the water tank.
Mayor Xavier Bishop said a crane might be
rented within a few days, and costs could be
reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In the meantime, the board of aldermen suggested the Buckleys should find alternate accommodations at a motel or shelter.
Willean Buckley said she planned to stay
home with her husband and two children,
because they had nowhere else to go. She said
she was told by the board that if her family
stayed, it was at their own risk. “If they want us
to move, then they need to pay us expenses,” she
said.
Howard Buckley said it wasn’t fair that the
city could be reimbursed by FEMA for the crane,
but his family would have to foot the bill to
evacuate.
“It’s taking care of them, but it’s not taking
care of us,” he said.

JACKSON — Some Mississippi lawmakers say changes
in the ownership of nursing
homes make it difficult for
state government to regulate
them or enforce quality standards.
Traditionally, the homes are
licensed to the person or company that both own and operate the facilities. Now, in some
cases, the license holder neither owns nor operates the
business.
A meeting at the state Capitol on Wednesday addressed
concerns about nursing homes
and long-term care facilities.
Much of the discussion was
about the pending sale of
A rka nsa s-base d Be v e r l y
Enterprises Inc. to a New
York company called North
American Senior Care Inc.
Beverly Enterprises has 10
nursing homes in Mississippi.
The merger agreement is
raising concerns that the elderly nursing home residents
may not get the quality care
that they are entitled to, said
Rep. Jamie Franks, D-Mooreville, a member of the House
Public Health and Human
Services Committee.
Special Assistant Attorney
General Scott Johnson said
when a nursing home is held
accountable for unacceptable
care, the only recourse the
government has is to go after
the license holder.
However, if the license holder does not own the facility or
any of the assets, the state
has no recourse against a
company that provides poor
care, Johnson said.
“You can’t collect money
from someone who doesn’t
have any,” Johnson said. “If
their operating on a shoestring budget and you have a
$4,000 judgment, how are you
going to get that?”
John Maxey, an attorney
representing Beverly Enterprises, says that the hearing
was unnecessary and that it is
inappropriate for the government to interfere in a private
transaction.
“We find this hearing is
really premature because no
sale has been firmed up yet,”
Maxey said.
Representatives from the
state Departments of Health
and Medicaid also spoke at
the hearing.
“What we found today from
the testimony ... basically
these new corporate schemes
are rendering state law moot,”
Franks said. “And as a result
could jeopardize the health
care of our most vulnerable
residents — our nursing home
residents.”
The taxpayers could be victims too, Franks said. They
pay for about 90 percent of
the cost of running nursing
homes.
“We need to make sure that
taxpayers’ dollars are used
wisely,” Franks said. “I think
we’re definitely going to have
to pass legislation in the next
legislative session.”

‘Wal-Mart 2’ opens
■ $100,000 worth
of clothes distributed
at MPHS gym
By ALLISON MATHER
The Mississippi Press
MOSS POINT — Moss Point
schools interim superintendent
Rachel Carpenter coined a nickname Wednesday to describe
the tables covered with new
clothes lining the Moss Point
High School gym — “Wal-Mart
2.”
Men’s, women’s and children’s
clothes, along with belts and
shoes, were still wrapped in
plastic and stacked neatly.
Shopping bags were available
at the door for faculty and staff,
students and parents in the district to take home their choices.
“We’re so excited about all of
the contributions the people
have made,” Carpenter said.
Jenny Ladner, a physical education teacher at Escatawpa
Elementary, said she is grateful
to have new clothes.
“I lost everything. There’s
nothing but a slab left,” she
said.
“I think it’s nice that people
cared enough about us to offer
this,” Ladner continued. “I don’t
know what we’d do otherwise.”
The donations available in
the gym, estimated to be worth
nearly $100,000, were organized by Alfred and Rhonda
McNair at the Digestive Health
Center in Ocean Springs.
“It all started with school
books,” Rhonda McNair said.
She and her husband, expecting medical supplies, received
instead a truckload of donated
books at their medical practice
immediately after the storm.
“I was thinking ‘My God,
what am I going to do with all
of these books?’,” she said.

impressed McNair with their
dedication, and asked if the
office could become a distribution site for future donations.
McNair said various organizations and companies contributed donations that ended
up at Moss Point.
“It’s coming from the manufacturers. It goes into the state;
the state sends it to us,” she
said.
The organizations Direct

generous, she said.

“Dr. McNair’s office has really come through,” Brantley said.
“For the last three nights,
we’ve been out there (McNair’s
office) picking up all of the
donations,” she continued.
Carpenter said about 30 percent of the district’s 550 employees experienced loss from Hurricane Katrina.

Mississippi town curious Allegations of misconduct
about upcoming bullfights plague New Orleans police
By HOLBOOK MOHR
The Associated Press
By MARY FOSTER
JACKSON — The very
thought of an authentic bullfight in rural Mississippi elicits
childlike giggles from almost
everyone who talks about it,
but coordinators of “la fiesta
brava” expect a sold-out show.
“The American people go to
the bullfights in Mexico, so why
wouldn’t they come here?” says
Mario Loera, a former bullfighter who is coordinating two
shows in Newton, a town of
3,700 in the sand clay hills and
piney woods of east Mississippi.
Loera, a 57-year-old Mexican
immigrant, runs the Mexico
Lindo Restaurant in Newton
and has spent more than a year
arranging to import bulls, horses, parts for a 4,000-seat arena
and, most importantly, matadors.
There’s no need for animal
lovers to worry: Loera says no
bulls will be injured, but everything else — the music, the
food and the dress — will be
authentic.
“It is a very beautiful show. I
want to show the customs of
Mexico,” Loera said. “But I
want to respect the laws of the
United States. It is illegal to
kill the bull here.”
Bloodless bullfights take
place occasionally in Texas and
California, but as far as anyone
can tell, this will be a first for
Mississippi — a state where
high school football games are
often the biggest social events.
Newton Mayor Michael Pickens said the bullfighters will
try to attach Velcro strips to a
belt on the bull in areas that a
real bullfighter would stab the
animal.
“Everybody’s kind of curious,”
Pickens said with a chuckle.
“I’m not a big fan of stuff like

Lifelong Newton resident
George Monroe said there is a
constant buzz around town
about the upcoming spectacle.
“We’ve never seen a bullfight.
It’s most unusual for something
like this to happen,” he said.
“In a town where everybody
waits for the Friday night football game, this is going to be
great and I hope it catches on.”
Officials hope Loero taps into
a niche market that puts Newton on the tourist map. But,
they confess, the events have
not been easy to plan.
“The biggest obstacle is that
when you say bullfighting in
Mississippi, people laugh,” said
Angie Burks, director of the
Newton County Chamber of
Commerce.
“It’s been trial and error
because it’s never been done
before in the state of Mississippi. People say, ’You’re crazy.’
But when it’s over, we’re going
to say, ’We told you so.”’
The two shows — Oct. 29
and Nov. 12 — will feature four
matadors, including Marbella
Romero, who Loero says is a
popular female bullfighter in
Mexico. Loera will try his hand
in the arena as well.
Burks hopes the shows will
prove successful enough that
Newton can make the bullfights a permanent fixture and
eventually offer package deals

casinos near Philadelphia,

Tennessee governor plans to greet
guardsmen returning from Iraq
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — More than 3,200
Tennessee guardsmen will begin arriving next
week from Iraq, ending the largest single deployment of Tennessee National Guard troops since
World War II, officials said Wednesday.
Gov. Phil Bredesen plans to greet members of the
278th Regimental Combat Team shortly after their
arrival at Camp Shelby, Miss., almost a year from
the date that he saw them off there.
The first soldiers from the 278th are tentatively
scheduled to arrive Monday, guard spokesman
Randy Harris said. The governor may visit them
three days later.
“I am so very proud of the soldiers of the 278th,”
Bredesen said. “Their outstanding performance
while in Iraq continues the tradition of excellence
by generations of Tennessee Volunteers.
“I look forward to visiting with them soon as
they return home and reunite with their families,”
he said.
Based in Knoxville, the 278th draws members
from across eastern and middle Tennessee. It was
mobilized for Iraq in June 2004 and deployed from
Camp Shelby last November.
Of the 45 Tennesseans to die in the Iraqi conflict,
10 were members of the 278th.
In addition to daily fighting in northeastern
Iraq, the regiment also established and supplied
several hospitals in the area and provided security during the first Iraqi elections in January and
the vote on an new constitution on Saturday.
The 278th’s return will follow in stages. The
first members are scheduled to fly in “on or about”
Monday to the Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center in Gulfport, Miss., and taken
immediately to Camp Shelby, near Hattiesburg,
where they will begin more than a week of processing and debriefing. Other units will continue to
arrive almost daily through mid-November.
Maj. Gen. Gus Hargett, Tennessee’s adjutant
general, said specific arrival dates are subject to
change with little notice.
NEW ORLEANS — Desertions, allegations of looting and
theft, and the videotaped beating of a retired teacher have
contributed to a growing sense
that the New Orleans Police
Department is reverting to its
dirty-cop past at the very
moment the city is desperately
trying to persuade residents to
come back to the Big Easy.
No hard evidence exists of a
rise in police misconduct since
Hurricane Katrina hit on Aug.
29.
But the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana said
it is investigating at least 10
brutality complaints filed in
the past month.
And stories are making the
rounds at Uptown coffee houses and French Quarter bars of
overbearing cops abusing their
power, of a force seemingly out
of control.
“There’s a credibility issue
that is manifesting itself in
New Orleans,” said Rafael
Goyeneche of the Metropolitan
Crime Commission of Greater
New Orleans, a police watchdog group. “Part of that is the
disconnect the public feels with
the police department. The reputation of corruption lingers
and the new problems compound it.”
Since the storm, the videotaped beating by police of
Robert Davis, 64, and the
roughing up an Associated
Press TV producer in the
French Quarter have focused
new attention on the department. Police said Davis was
drunk and combative; Davis
denied he was drinking and
said he put up no resistance.
The U.S. Justice Department is
investigating.
Also, 12 New Orleans officers are suspected of looting or
condoning looting at a WalMart in Katrina’s aftermath.
Authorities are investigating
allegations that police took
more than 200 cars, including
41 new Cadillacs, from a dealership as the storm closed in.
And nearly 250 officers on the
1,450-member force are under
investigation for leaving their
posts during the storm.
“People are right on the edge
because they think police are
hired to protect them, but
that’s not what seems to be
happening,” John Penny, who
teaches criminal justice at
Southern University at New
Orleans. “I think there’s a high
feeling of anxiety in the community.”
Josh Clark, who works for a
monthly entertainment publication, admitted he and his
girlfriend were out past curfew two weeks after Katrina.
Still, he said, the police reaction seemed extreme.
“They pulled their guns out
and pointed them at us,” Clark
said. “They wouldn’t listen to
anything.”
Clark said he was finally
able to show his press pass to
one of the officers. He said that
when the policeman learned he
worked for a publication whose
editor was a friend, Clark and
his girlfriend were allowed to
leave.
“If they know you, they’ll do
anything for you,” Clark said.
“If they don’t, you’re in deep
doo-doo.”
Police spokesman Marlon
Defillo denied the department
is slipping back into its old
habits, saying discipline is
being maintained. He said the
department has launched four
formal investigations post-Katrina into police wrongdoing.
Asked about the notion that
the department is out of control, Mayor Ray Nagin said
Wednesday: “We’re going to
have to deal with this perception as we’re going forward.”
He acknowledged the department “is a little battered and
torn right now” and said all
officers had gone through physical and psychological evaluations since the storm. He also
noted that two officers had
committed suicide.

Katrina’s big contracts go to companies in political loop
By HOPE YEN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — When Hurricane Katrina struck, Ashbritt Inc. was well-positioned
to take advantage of the torrent of government dollars that followed.
The Pompano Beach, Fla., firm had spent
years cultivating its relationship with the
federal government, contributing tens of thousands of dollars to the Republican Party and,
more recently, hiring a powerful firm to lobby
the Army Corps of Engineers on “disaster
mitigation.”
After Katrina hit, Ashbritt was given the
largest award to date — a deal worth up to
$1.1 billion from the Corps for debris removal.
It is a story of government ties that is
repeated time and again for the winners of the
10 largest Katrina contracts, according to an
Associated Press review. At least four of those
contracts are now being reviewed for possible
waste and abuse.
All 10 companies are located outside the
affected Gulf Coast region, most are politically
active and most got the work after a limited
bidding process.
“How can the government say it is serious
about reconstructing the Gulf Coast and edge
out small and minority-owned businesses?”
said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the
ranking Democrat on the House Committee
on Homeland Security. “The only way to make
sure the relief funds reach hurricane victims
and damaged areas is to be aggressive about
oversight.”
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency and the Army Corps, which award the
bulk of Katrina contracts, say they are committed to handing out contracts based on
merit and open competition.
FEMA also has pledged to rebid four contracts worth $100 million each to politically
connected firms — Shaw Group Inc., Bechtel
Corp., CH2M Hill Inc. and Fluor Corp. —
that were awarded with little or no competition. Priority will be given to small and minority-owned businesses.
But the winners of even larger Katrina
deals — those valued at $170 million or more
— will not have to rebid or renegotiate. Most
of the companies had done previous work for
the government, either with earlier hurricanes or in Iraq, and those existing relationships were key to winning new deals.
“This shows the best government contractors don’t always get hired, the most politically influential do,” said Keith Ashdown,
vice president of the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense. “We need to strive
for more competitive bidding.”
Some of the deals:
• A $521.4 million contract to Gulf Stream
Coach of Nappanee, Ind., for travel trailers to
house evacuees. Since 2000, company founder
James F. Shea and his family have contributed more than $20,000 to GOP candidates, including President Bush and Rep.
Bob Ney, R-Ohio, chairman of the House
Administration Committee.
• A no-bid modification to an existing con-
tract with Landstar Express America Inc. for
about $300 million worth of trucking services. Company chairman Jeffrey Crowe recently headed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
whose political action committee regularly
contributes to the GOP.
• A $236 million rush order with Carnival
Cruise Lines for six months of temporary
housing. The Miami company or its executives
have contributed more than $200,000 each to
both the Republican and Democratic parties
since 2000.
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Barack
Obama, D-Ill., have called for investigations
into whether the contract price, which
amounts to roughly $1,275 a week per passenger if the three ships are at full capacity,
is too high.
Also being reviewed is a $287.5 million
FEMA contract for temporary housing with
Circle B Enterprises Inc., an Ocilla, Ga.-based
company that Thompson says is not properly
licensed to build manufactured homes in several states.
Circle B says it is not building the actual
homes but has subcontracted the work; Carnival officials have said they don’t expect to
make a profit from their deal. Officials with
Gulf Stream Coach could not be reached for
comment.
FEMA and Army Corps officials say their
early contract awards went to known companies in the interest of providing fast emergency assistance. They denied political connections were a factor.
Rice: U.S. may still be needed in Iraq in 10 years
By ANNE GEARAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice
declined on Wednesday to rule
out American forces still being
needed in Iraq a decade from
now. Senators warned that the
Bush administration must play
it straight with the public or
risk losing public support for
the war.
Pushed by senators from both
parties to define the limits of
U.S. involvement in Iraq and
the Middle East, Rice also
declined to rule out the use of
military force in Iran or Syria,
although she said the administration prefers diplomacy.
“I don’t think the president
ever takes any of his options off
the table concerning anything
to do with military force,” Rice
said.
Rice appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations committee
for only the second time since
members gave her an unexpectedly tepid endorsement to
replace Colin Powell in January, and she fielded pointed
questions about U.S. intentions
and commitment on Iraq from
lawmakers who said they are
hearing complaints at home.
“Our country is sick at heart
at the spin and false expectations,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, DCalif., told Rice. “They want the
truth and they deserve it.”
Rice said Iraq’s police and
Army forces are becoming better
able to handle the country’s
security without U.S. help, and
she repeated President Bush’s
warning that setting a timetable
for withdrawal plays into terrorists’ hands.
“The terrorists want us to get
discouraged and quit,” Rice said.
“They believe we do not have
the will to see this through.”
Rice said the United States
will follow a model that was successful in Afghanistan. Starting
next month, she said, joint diplomatic-military groups — called
Provincial Reconstruction Teams
— will work alongside Iraqis as
they train police, set up courts,
and help local governments
establish essential services.
By State Department design,
Rice testified before the committee just days after Iraq
apparently approved its first
constitution since a U.S.-led
coalition ousted Iraqi dictator
Saddam Hussein in 2003. Her
appearance also coincided with
the start of Saddam’s trial in
Baghdad for a 1982 massacre
of 150 of his fellow Iraqis.
Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind.,
agreed with the Bush administration’s
stay-the-course
approach but said there are
legitimate questions to ask
about the future.
“We should recognize that
most Americans are focused on
an exit strategy in Iraq,” said
Lugar, the Foreign Relations
Committee chairman. “Even if
withdrawal timelines are
deemed unwise because they
might provide a strategic advantage to the insurgency, the
American people need to more
fully understand the basis upon
which our troops are likely to
come home.”
An AP-Ipsos poll this month
found 61 percent of respondents
disapprove of Bush’s handling
of Iraq while 32 percent said
they approve. In August, 53 percent said the United States
made a mistake by going to war
while 43 percent said it was the
right decision.
The figures represent a sharp
drop-off from strong support for
the war in the early going. The
war also had overwhelming support in Congress, including from
most of Rice’s questioners
Wednesday.

eration learned is no foreign policy can be sustained without the
informed consent of the American people. And we haven’t gotten that informed consent in
terms of them knowing what
they’re signing on to from here
on out,” Sen. Joseph P. Biden
Jr., D-Del., told Rice. “So I’m not
looking for a date to get out of
Iraq. But at what point, assuming the strategy works, do you
think we’ll be able to see some
sign of bringing some American
forces home?”
Rice did not address the Viet-

nam comparison, and said the
question of withdrawal is one
for military planners.
“I really don’t want to hazard
what I think would be a guess,
even if it were an assessment, of
when that might be possible,”
Rice said of a troop withdrawal.
Later, Sen. Paul Sarbanes, DMd., told Rice that her response
to questions about U.S. troop
withdrawal leaves open the possibility that U.S. forces could be
in Iraq five or even 10 years
down the road. Rice did not dispute that.

not find a fit and end in notrump, you have only given
free information to the
defenders. Stayman is valuable, though, because it also
takes the role of showing
some major-minor hands.

South played low from the

East had to shift, giving
declarer time to knock out the

Top of touching honors is a
fine aphorism most of the
time. But against a no-trump
contract, if you are leading a
suit in which an opponent
has length, you should lead
low, not an honor, hoping
partner has sufficient in the
suit to make the lead a success and to avoid blocking the
suit.
Here, if West leads the
spade seven at trick one, he
defeats the contract. Whether
declarer rises with dummy’s
ace (hoping to block the suit)
or ducks it to East’s 10 (hoping to cut West out of the
game), the defenders score
four spades and one heart.

Dear Abby: “Lost” got into
the car. She was willing to let
her friend shoulder the
responsibility of driving, and
now claims she was too drunk
to know how smashed her
friend was. Baloney! If that is
the case, she should allow her
friend to use the same excuse.
What would have happened if
“Lost” had not been
injured? Would she
have helped with the
fines, jail time, damaged car or raised
insurance rates? Her
friend probably does
feel guilty, but there
were two “victims”
here, and both are
equally to blame.
Now “Lost” is willing
to end a 20-year
friendship because
she can’t own up to
her own part in all of this?
Some friend! — Tired of

Dear Abby: Rather than
being angry and resentful
against her friend, “Lost in

Lord that she’s still alive and
vow not to get herself into
that situation again. A
responsible adult does not
allow herself to become incapacitated. No one forced alcohol down her throat against
her will.

The storm
over insurance
We wouldn’t want George Dale’s job these
days.
Could Mississippi’s longtime insurance commissioner have foreseen Hurricane Katrina,
we’re convinced, he never would have sought a
seventh term in office.
Dale, who has served as insurance commissioner since 1975, is trying to juggle the interests of angry Gulf Coast residents whose Katrina-related claims are being denied by insurance
companies and of the insurers themselves,
which insist that they are merely abiding by
enforceable contracts that distinguish water
damage from wind damage.
The commissioner’s go-easy approach with
the insurance companies even as Attorney General Jim Hood takes them to court has created
perceptions among many voters that Dale is too
cozy with the industry he’s supposed to regulate.
We sympathize with him.
Certainly, Dale’s first obligation is to Mississippi consumers. But in rushing to the aid of
coastal property owners who feel aggrieved by
their insurers, he must be careful to avoid longrange harm to the state’s insurance climate
and, in turn, to all Mississippians who rely on
insurance to protect their property.
If Mississippi becomes hostile toward insurers, they could quit writing policies here altogether or hike their rates significantly to cover
the cost of doing business in an unstable climate. Either way, consumers lose.
Dale’s approach? “We’re quietly nudging,
coercing, pushing, begging companies to pay
more claims without making some big fanfare,”
he told The Clarion-Ledger this past week.
The “big fanfare” comment was a clear dig at
Hood’s lawsuit against the insurance industry
in an effort to force payments to storm victims.
Dale has the better strategy. One possibility
is a mediation program similar to one used in
Florida — in which policyholders, insurance
adjusters and a Bar Association-certified mediator hash out settlements of disputed claims. If
no agreement is reached in a case, it goes to
court.
As in all disputes, lawsuits should be the last
resort.

Dictator on trial
If Saddam Hussein’s trial is to be a show trial,
as its critics claim, it is a long way from prime
time, based on the opening day.
The video was amateurish and the seriousness
of the proceedings was undermined by the
mechanics of getting the defendants in and out
of the courtroom and Saddam’s blustering
attempt to question the legitimacy of the tribunal. The little holding pens for the defendants
also seemed an unnecessary touch.
It seems everybody — human rights groups,
supporters of the International Criminal Court,
the Bush administration, foes of the U.S.-led
invasion — knows better than the Iraqi government how Saddam should be tried.
And there are some serious gaps in the due
process. Saddam’s lawyers have been unable to
examine much of the evidence against him, for
which they were granted a continuance until
Nov. 28. The witness list has been kept secret, as
has the identity of all but one of the five judges
on the tribunal, but that’s because of the danger
of their being murdered by Saddam loyalists.
And considering the awfulness of his regime
— 300,000 dead Iraqis — the relatively small
massacre of 143 Shiites 23 years ago in Dujail
seems a puzzling place to start.
To which it should be said: Let the Iraqis do
this themselves. The trial may not meet the
courtroom standards of NBC’s “Law & Order,”
but it is important the Iraqis come to terms with
their own history — that through careful,
methodical and publicly televised proceedings
they lay out, especially for the Arab world, the
real evil of Saddam’s rule. And, of course, that
the guilty be punished in a way that is widely
seen to be fair.
Reports out of Baghdad say the prosecutors
began with the Dujail massacre because they
have hard evidence it was done on Saddam’s
direct orders. Still to come is the military operation that killed some 180,000 Kurds in the late
‘80s, the bloody suppression of a Shiite revolt in
1991, and the death of 5,000 Kurds in a poison
gas attack in 1988.
It may be a show trial in this sense: There’s a
lot to be shown.

Principles to a fault?
“Though all hell assail me, I shall not be
moved; Jesus will not fail me, I shall not be
moved; Just like a tree that’s planted by
the waters, I shall not be moved.”
In an era of poll-driven politics, a little
conviction — as characterized by the hymn
that reverberated at summer revivals of
my childhood — is refreshing.
Is there a point, though, where principle
yields to naiveté and becomes detrimental
to a cause?
Put another way, is
there such a thing as
being principled to a
fault?
The Mississippi Baptist Convention seems
determined to find out.
The state’s largest
Christian denomination
waged a spirited battle
Steve
against letting Gulf
Coast casinos, decimat- Stewart
ed by Hurricane Katrina, rebuild on the beach — a move advocated by Gov. Haley Barbour as part of his
broader strategy of jump-starting the
coastal economy.
Gaming foes — led by the Southern Baptists — lost the battle during a special session of the state Legislature, which voted
narrowly to let Harrison and Hancock
county casinos build up to 800 feet on
shore.
But will conservative Christians lose the
bigger war, which is the expansion of legalized gambling in Mississippi beyond the
handful of counties where it now exists?
Time will tell, but two components of the
anti-gambling lobby’s strategy seem illadvised.
First was the decision during the recent
special session to oppose an amendment —
offered by state Sen. Charlie Ross, R-Brandon, and blessed by Barbour — that would
have virtually ensured that state-sanctioned gambling never extend beyond Harrison, Hancock, Adams, Warren, Washington, Coahoma and Tunica counties.
Under Ross’ amendment, any other county wishing to get into the gaming business
would have had to get the permission of
both the Legislature and Mississippi voters
in the form of a statewide referendum.
That’s a significant change from current
law, which allows any coastal or Mississippi River county to legalize gaming by local
referendum.
Curiously, the Mississippi Baptist Convention and its political arm, the Christian
Action Commission, helped shoot down the
amendment.
Dr. Lee Yancey, a former youth pastor at
Meridian’s First Baptist Church who now
works as a consultant for the Christian
Action Commission, offered two, seemingly
contradictory, explanations.
“The amendment in and of itself would
have been good,” he told me in a telephone
interview last week. “But we weren’t
offered it alone. They (Barbour and other
supporters of the onshore gaming bill) were
looking for a compromise, and our position
was that we couldn’t compromise.”
Later in the same conversation, Yancey
questioned the merits of the amendment,
suggesting a scenario in which the voters
of, say, Jackson County voted against
allowing gambling but voters elsewhere in
the state approved it, overriding the wishes of Jackson County residents.
The guess here is that gaming foes miscalculated, thinking they could reject the
Ross amendment but still defeat the
onshore bill on final passage. They lost.
If Yancey has regrets, he’s not acknowledging them.
“Sometimes it’s better to lose a good fight
than to win a compromise,” he said. “I don’t
think that we are much worse off than we
would be had we taken it. Current law still
requires a county vote. That’s better than
the whole state deciding for one county.”
Principled? Indeed.
Naive? If gambling one day expands in
Mississippi, rejection of the Ross amendment will prove to be a golden opportunity
missed.
Also questionable is the public criticism
that the Mississippi Baptist Convention
and American Family Association have
heaped on conservative politicians like
Barbour and state Rep. Greg Snowden, RMeridian, who dared to support the
onshore bill.
Snowden, a bedrock social conservative
and Southern Baptist who explained his
vote in a guest column on these pages last
Sunday, was called out by Yancey in a subsequent letter to the editor. In a hint of
political consequences for his former congregant at First Baptist, Yancey wrote,
“Time will tell if their roll of the dice will
provide them a windfall of votes or if they
will crap out.”
Baptist Record Editor William Perkins
went a step further with a scathing critique of Barbour in last week’s edition of
the Mississippi Baptist Convention newspaper. Perkins’ commentary, in a bit of
political hyperbole, equates Barbour with
former President Clinton as a world-class
flip-flopper.
Snowden and Barbour deserve better
from fellow conservatives.
Perkins and Yancey, if they hope to succeed in the political arena, will remember
President Reagan’s pronouncement that
anyone who agreed with him a majority of
the time was his friend, not his enemy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Confession time
for Mulshine
To the editor:
I believe columnist Paul Mulshine
needs to go to confession. It's one thing to
disagree with someone, but to bash a
woman’s personal religious beliefs,
ridicule the Southern voters (we should
send bumbling Democrat hicks to Washington instead of Republicans), and to
publicly admit he can’t go through life
without sedatives should tell him something.
Maybe his priest can get him some good
counseling. While Harriet Miers had her
own reasons for leaving the Catholic
church, I can tell Mulshine that as a former Catholic, being opposed to the homosexual agenda and to ending the lives of
unborn children are not the only reasons
for leaving the Catholic church.
Most of my family is Catholic, but I happen to believe that the Bible should be the
sole law and guide to living, that it’s
inerrant and should be unmodified. This
clashed with Catholic doctrine, so I
attended several churches until I found
one that preached the Bible alone, and
that’s the church I joined.
It’s called freedom of religion, and it
really exists in the First Amendment
(unlike the “wall of separation” concocted
by some on the Supreme Court, and parroted by most inthe media).
If Mr. Mulshine would do his homework, he’d know those who wrote the Constitution were reacting to state-run religion, not promoting freedom from religion.
This idea comes from a “bible” called
the humanist manifesto. If folks on the
left would actually argue policy instead of
using constant vicious personal attacks,
maybe they could win an election in the
South.
I think that proves Southerners are
more wise, not more foolish, than other
voters. I’m sorry Mr. Mulshine can so flippantly state that Harriet Miers is going to
hell, just to criticize Karl Rove. The courts
will decide whether he’s guilty.
That’s in the Constitution too, I believe,
the idea that one is innocent until proven
guilty. I hope he wasn’t paid for that emotional, errant bunch of vitriol!

There was never a moment that I ever
thought of leaving my dog, Magnolia
Clementine, behind when my family
raced to outrun Katrina.
For us it was more like a short sprint,
leaving the trailer in Three Rivers for
my daddy’s brick house in Hurley just
about 10 minutes further north.
I packed the things most precious and
plopped Maggie on top for the ride. My
miniature dachshund became a hurricane evacuee.
Only people who
have pets, or have
had pets, can truly
understand the
unconditional love
expressed by their
animals.
Maggie is a mama’s
dog. She will cut her
nap short to follow
Donna
me from room to
Harris
room, and she’s just
as excited to see me
walk into one room from another as she
is to see me after a long day at work.
Either way her long, skinny body contorts like an inchworm and she dances
at my feet, throwing herself onto her
back with her tummy in the air, waiting
for her belly rubs.
That’s something a non-pet owner
can’t appreciate.
Since Hurricane Katrina struck, more
than 8,000 dogs, cats, horses, livestock
and other animals have been rescued in
Louisiana and Mississippi, according to
information from the Humane Society of
America.
Most of these animals were triaged
through emergency shelters established
at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in
Gonzales, La., Louisiana State University and the Forrest County Multi-purpose Center in Hattiesburg. More than
200 animal shelters in the United
States and assorted rescue groups
agreed to take Katrina survivors into
their care while rescue operations were
ongoing.
The Humane Society and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are asking all animal
shelters, breed rescue groups and others
who are sheltering animal victims of
Hurricane Katrina to voluntarily extend
the hold period of those animals to allow
for more family reunions to occur.
There have been more than 1,000
reunions of pets and their families to
date including in-person reunions in
Louisiana and Mississippi and matches
through Petfinder. The HSUS and ASPCA will pay the transportation costs and
help with the logistics to reunite pets
with their families when needed, the
HSUS Web site said.
People looking for their displaced pets
who may have been rescued from the
disaster zone should regularly monitor
Petfinder.com and Petharbor.com.
For those owners reunited as well as
for those who never parted ways, St.
John Episcopal Church in Pascagoula is
hosting their annual Blessing of the
Animals at 4 p.m. Saturday. The church
is at the corner of Pine and Live Oak
streets.
The Rev. Dennis Ryan, the church’s
interim rector, asks that owners bring
their pets on a leash or in a container to
receive a blessing in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
Normally the blessing is held near St.
Francis’ feast day, Oct. 4, but was
delayed at the Pascagoula church
because of the storm.
Ryan says pets are special, as evidenced by the number of people who
braved the storm rather than leave
their pets behind. “Pets are a link with
God’s creation that can’t be replicated
with other things God created like trees
and sunsets and beaches,” he said.
If you don’t believe that then you’ve
never been nuzzled by a cold, wet puppy
nose or felt a furry cat paw pat your
hand.
Like Father Dennis says, “they don’t
know how not to love.”
Anyone with a pet is welcome to
attend the blessing, and all pets are
welcome, even the slimy ones. “I bless
crawling pets from afar, like two or
three feet,” he said, recalling the fourfoot monitor lizard he once blessed in
Hattiesburg.
He also prefers that pets blessed not
be “too chompy.”
He won’t have to worry about Maggie,
as long as he rubs her belly, too.

Saddam defiant,
rejects tribunal’s
right to judge him
By HAMZA HENDAWI
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A defiant
Saddam Hussein quarreled with
judges and scuffled with guards
at the opening of his long-awaited trial Wednesday, rejecting the
tribunal’s right to judge him and
insisting he is still the president
of Iraq.
Sitting inside a white pen with
metal bars, Saddam appeared
gaunt and frail and his salt-andpepper beard was unkempt as
he pleaded innocent to charges of
murder, torture, forced expulsions and illegal detentions. He
wore a suit with a white shirt
and no tie.
Gone were the Homburg hat,
the cigar, the shotgun fired from
a reviewing stand. So were a few
pounds after nearly two years in
an American military prison.
Still, the swagger and the smirk
remained, the bearing of a man
accustomed to 23 years of
unchallenged power.
If convicted, the 68-year-old
Saddam and seven of his
regime’s henchmen who
appeared with him in the hearing could face the death penalty
for their role in the 1982 killing
of nearly 150 people from the
mainly Shiite town of Dujail
north of Baghdad after a failed
attempt on Saddam’s life.
Iraqis and much of the Arab
world watched glitchy television
coverage of the proceedings
intently, watching Saddam strike
a pose reminiscent of the onceubiquitous television pictures of
him sitting at the head of a table
surrounded by “yes” men.
“Since the fall of the regime,
we have been waiting for this
trial,” said Aqeel al-Ubaidi, a resident of Dujail. “The trial won’t
with Amin announcing an
adjournment until Nov. 28.
The trial was broadcast on
satellite stations with a 20minute delay. But technical quality was poor, with the sound cutting out frequently and the picture going blank several times.
Reporters at the courtroom
struggled to follow the proceedings from behind a bulletproof
glass partition.
The Iraqi government did not
explain the 20-minute delay, but
one effect could have been to cut
out scenes like the scuffle, which
did not appear on tape.
Reaction to Saddam’s trial varied in Iraq, where his loyalists,
together with hardcore members
of his Baath party and feared
security services are an important faction of a Sunni-led insurgency wracking Iraq for the past
21⁄2 years.
In Baghdad, Shiite construction worker Salman Zaboun
Shanan sat with his family at
home in the Shiite neighborhood
of Kazimiyah, having taken the
day off from work to watch the
trial.
When Saddam appeared on
television, his wife spat in disgust.
“I hope he is executed, and
that anyone who suffered can
take a piece of his flesh,” said
Shanan, who was jailed during
Saddam’s rule, as was his wife,
Sabiha Hassan, and several of
their sons.

bring back those who died, but at
least it will help put out the fire
and anger inside us.”
Wednesday’s session, held
under tight security, was testy
from the start, when the judge
asked Saddam to take the stand
first.
As the courtroom fell silent,
Saddam got up from his chair
and took the podium, holding a
copy of the Quran. He refused
to state his name for the record
and turned the question back on
the presiding judge, Rizgar
Mohammed Amin, a Kurd whose
identity was revealed to the public only on the day of the trial.
“Who are you? I want to know
who you are,” Saddam demanded.
“I do not respond to this socalled court, with all due respect
to its people, and I retain my
constitutional right as the president of Iraq,” he said, brushing
off Amin’s attempts to interrupt
him. “Neither do I recognize the
body that has designated and
authorized you, nor the aggression because all that has been
built on false basis is false.”
After repeatedly refusing to
give his name, Saddam finally
sat. Amin read his name for him,
calling him the “former president of Iraq.”

Marietta
AP
A woman and her daughter are rescued Tuesday by Jamaican Airwing officers in a helicopter from the flooded town of
Bushy Park, just outside Kingston, Jamaica. Heavy rains have fallen since Sunday due to Hurricane Wilma, closing almost
all schools. Around 380 people remain in shelters. One man died Sunday in a rain-swollen river.
Wilma
From Page 1-A
Forecasters said Wilma has
the potential to make an
extremely damaging impact in a
season that has already seen
devastation from Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. With its center still over open water, the
storm’s sustained winds were
near 155 mph Wednesday night,
down from 175 mph earlier in
the day.
The National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield said
Wilma could reach the Florida
Keys Saturday, possibly toward
the evening. Visitors were
ordered out of the Florida Keys
even as schools closed.
The White House, stung by
criticism that it had not
responded quickly enough to
Katrina, promised to stay on top
of the situation. “We are closely
monitoring what is an extremely dangerous storm,” said White
House spokesman Scott McClellan. “People should take this
hurricane very seriously.”
Tourists packed Cancun’s airport even though skies were still
partly sunny, looking for flights
home or to other resorts. MTV
postponed its Video Music
Awards Latin America ceremony, originally scheduled for
Thursday at a seaside park
south of the resort town.
Mark Carara cut his family’s
vacation short by two days and
tried to get on a standby flight
home to Colorado Springs, Colo.
“You hear it was the biggest
storm on record, and yeah, that
was the clincher right there,”
he said. “It was time for us to
go.”
John Hyndman, a 59-year-old
electrician from Ottawa said his
hotel had asked guests to leave.
“I think people are more panicked just about what a hurricane can do,” he said. “It can be
very scary.”
Quintana Roo state, where
Cancun is located, announced
that hundreds of schools would
be closed Thursday and Friday,
and many will be prepared to
serve as shelters for expected
evacuations.
Floridians braced for the
storm by boarding up windows
and stocking up on supplies,
although forecasters at the hurricane center said the forward
motion of the storm appeared
to be slowing, which could cause
it to eventually weaken.
Predictions differed on the
hurricane’s path and how strong
it would be when it reaches U.S.
shores. Though some weakening was expected by Thursday,
the “potential for large loss of
life is with us,” said Max Mayfield, director of the U.S. hurricane center.
“This is one of those cases
where we have a tremendous
amount of uncertainty,” said
Mayfield. Referring to Wilma’s
explosive two-day growth from a
tropical storm to a Category 5
hurricane, Mayfield said “this
is one of the most perplexing
storms we have had to deal
with” this year.
At 10 p.m. CDT, Wilma was
centered about 235 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico. It was
moving west-northwest near 8
mph, with some wobbles, forecasters said. Forecasters warned
it could re-intensify Thursday
as it turns to the northwest.
Wilma’s record-level intensity
was measured in its pressure.
Confirmed pressure readings
early Wednesday dropped to 882
millibars, the lowest minimum
pressure ever measured in a
hurricane in the Americas, but it
later lost power and rose to 892
millibars, according to the hurricane center. Lower pressure
translates into higher wind
speed.
The strongest Atlantic storm
on record, based on pressure
readings, had been Hurricane
Gilbert in 1988, which registered 888 millibars.
Wilma was on a curving
course that would carry it
through the narrow channel
between Cuba and Mexico on
Friday, possibly within a few
miles of Cancun and Cozumel.
Forecasters warned it could
smash into southwestern Florida on Saturday with towering
waves, then work its way up
the East Coast with devastating
effect.
Heavy rain, high winds and
rough seas pounded coastal
areas of Honduras, knocking out
power to some towns, forcing
the evacuation of coastal villages and closure of two
Caribbean ports.
Four fishermen were reported
missing at sea and about 500
U.S. and European tourists
were moved to safe locations at
hotels on the Bay Islands.
The head of Haiti’s civil protection agency, Maria Alta JeanBaptiste, said a man drowned
Wednesday while trying to cross
a river that overflowed its

efforts. Butler said they chose
Gautier after a visit from a
West Virginia man whose

through the civic action agency.
Marietta officials and citizens
will track aid recipients. The
first three individuals were
approved by the Ohio city’s
committee Monday.
The hurricane relief effort
will provide the Marietta community with a “sense of connection,” Mullen said, and a
knowledge that they are “not
just sending a check to some
cover-all organization, but getting down to the soul” of individuals in need.
“It has been a very warm
connection (with Gautier).
Even when everybody is in
chaos, the folks from Gautier
have been very warm and
appreciative,” Mullen said.

man was swept away by the

The death raised to 12 the
number of people killed in rain

the island nation. One man also
died Sunday in a rain-swollen
river.
Cuban authorities suspended classes in the threatened
western province of Pinar del
en the areas hit last year by Hurricane
Charley. Some houses and businesses in
the area are still boarded up because of
that storm.
The White House promised to stay on
top of the situation, hoping to avoid a
repeat of the slow initial response to Katrina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was positioning emergency
materials in Jacksonville, Lakeland and
Homestead.
Gov. Jeb Bush said the state had ample
supplies of food, water and ice ready for
hard-hit areas.
Sean Mayo was filling up his sport utility vehicle’s 26-gallon tank and a five-gallon gas can in Marco Island. “We don’t
know if there will be any shortages. I need
to make sure I got enough gas to get to
Lauderdale and back,” he said.
Although Wilma was approaching from

“I’m not a hurricane expert,”
he said repeatedly.
Chertoff ’s appearance came
as weather forecasters kept a
wary eye on Wilma, which
grew into one of the most
intense Atlantic hurricanes on
record before weakening
Wednesday. Forecasters said it
probably would strike the
west coast of Florida late in
the week.
At a separate House hearing, the governors of Florida,
Texas and Arizona urged lawmakers not to change the
emergency response system
that makes states the first
responders during hurricanes
and other emergencies.
“We can’t do our jobs if the
job is federalized,” said Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano,
a Democrat.
Chertoff, a former prosecu-
tor and Justice Department
official, took over the Homeland Security Department in
February. A department-wide
review he ordered was under
way when Katrina hit, killing
more than 1,200 people, flooding New Orleans and forcing
the evacuation of hundreds of
thousands of people.
Chertoff said FEMA was
overwhelmed by the scope of
Katrina.
“I think 80 percent or more
of the problem goes to planning,” he said, adding that
FEMA’s core budget has
increased by 28 percent since
2001.
He also dismissed suggestions by some lawmakers that
FEMA lost its effectiveness
when it was changed from an
independent agency to a
branch of Homeland Security.

Forecasters said Wilma was

Keys in 1935, the most powerful
Atlantic hurricane to make

weakened, with its winds dropping to 155
mph, and its pressure rising to 894 millibars as it wobbled in the northwestern
Caribbean. Forecasters warned it could
re-intensify Thursday.
The previous strongest Atlantic storm on
record, based on pressure readings, had
been Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, which
registered 888 millibars.
The hurricane center was predicting
that the storm would move into the Gulf of
Mexico and then swerve east, toward
southwestern Florida.
Mayfield said Wilma might not reach
the Florida Keys until Saturday, possibly
toward the evening. It had earlier been
expected to reach the Florida mainland
Saturday.
Wilma was on a path that could threat-

hope to link together similar
churches or civic organizations
in the need-and-supply process.
Already, the Greater Marietta Area Ministerial Association raised $4,500 through the
Sept. 25 “Marietta Responds
— Relief Walk.” Community
members will continue to fill
Gautier’s particular needs as
they come to light.
Profiles of needy families will
be sent to the Marrietta committee by the civic action
agency, said Diann Payne, the
agency’s executive director.
“We haven’t figured out how
that process (of referral) is
going to work,” she said.
Payne said they are trying
their best to find as many people in need and help them if
they can, but she added they
are limited with funds and
cannot help everyone.
The Rev. Craig Butler, pastor
of Marietta’s First Presbyterian Church (USA) and co-chair
of the local ministerial association, said when the community first decided to do something for hurricane relief, they
felt somewhat overwhelmed,
asking “How do we help a
whole area?”
Once the idea of adopting a
sister city came up, they had
more of a focus and pushed
the west, forecasters warned that Atlantic
Coast cities such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach could be hit
by winds nearly as strong.
At 10 p.m. CDT, Wilma was centered
about 235 miles southeast of Cozumel,
Mexico, and 474 miles south-southwest of
Key West. It was moving west northwest
at about 8 mph, forecasters said.
Mayfield said the Keys could be hit by
storm surge up to 25 feet and battering
waves ever higher than that.
“I just don’t see how the Florida Keys
will get out of this without having a major
impact,” he said.
Authorities told visitors to leave the
Keys on Wednesday and planned to order
residents to get out on Thursday. The Keys
were evacuated for Hurricanes Dennis
and Rita earlier this year and four times
last year.

reported.
According to the report, Mississippi’s basic level students
demonstrate “partial mastery”
of the skills and knowledge
needed to advance to the next
grade level in that particular
subject.
Mississippi eighth graders
fared better on the reading test,
with 60 percent testing basic
and above and 40 percent scoring below the basic level.
Both grades in Mississippi
showed a higher proficiency in
the mathematics test, with 69
percent of fourth-graders and
51 percent of eighth-graders
testing at the basic level or
above.
Nationally, the study showed
students were getting better at
math, but their reading performance was mixed, with slight
progress in grade four and a slip
backward in grade eight.
“What we’ve got here is a
pretty satisfactory elementary
performance — better math and
reading,” said Darvin Winick,
chairman of the National Assessment Governing Board, the
bipartisan panel that oversees
the test. “The eighth-grade performance is much more mixed.”
The strongest results came in
math, particularly in fourth
grade, where scores were up for
every major racial and ethnic
group since the last test in 2003.
Math scores increased slightly
in eighth-grade, where black
and Hispanic students narrowed their gap with whites.
Overall in math, 36 percent of
percent of fourth-graders could
handle challenging material,
up from 32 percent in 2003.
Among eighth-graders, 30 percent reached at least that “proficient” level, up from 29 percent.
But in reading, another skill
vital for success in other subjects, scores weren’t so solid.
The average reading score
rose one point to 219 on a scale
of 500 in fourth grade, a statistically significant increase. But
only 31 percent of fourthgraders showed mastery of
demanding material — the figure that typically matters the
most. That performance was
flat compared to 2003.
Elevations
From Page 1-A
egory 4 and 5 storms could create similar surge elevations.
Community regulations,
FEMA officials said, can
always exceed the base flood
elevation or the advisory flood
elevation.

TIME OUT
What a
Saturday
It’s obvious to anyone who
reads this column that college
football holds a special place
in my ranking of spectator
sports. It’s also obvious that
my passion is shared by
many, especially in our area.
October 15 stands as a shining example of why so many
of us love the Saturday game
of autumn.
To wit:
•Ole Miss and Alabama
played an old-fashioned, rock
‘em, sock ‘em SEC defensive
struggle that the Tide won
with a field goal (13-10) as
time ran out.
•Michigan threw
a touchdown pass
as time
expired to
nip resurgent Penn
State, 2725.
•Wisconsin
Richard
came from
Lucas
10 points
down with less than three
minutes left to stun Minnesota 38-34, by blocking a punt
and scoring with 30 seconds
left.
(Sidebar: Think the kicking
game is important? I’ve
always been a big special
teams advocate, and not just
because I have a son who was
a kicker. Just check out three
of our local teams this past
weekend. Pascagoula misses
two field goals and an extra
point, and loses 14-13. Ole
Miss misses two field goals
and loses 13-10 (on a field
goal). The Saints have a field
goal blocked and returned for
a touchdown, then lose 34-31
on a last second field goal.
Yeah, looks like the kicking
game makes a difference).
•Probably the most exciting of all was the game
between No. 1 USC and No. 9
Notre Dame. The Fighting
Irish went ahead 31-28 with
2:02 left on a gutsy run by
Brady Quinn (best name for
Notre Dame quarterback
since Coley O’Brien).
USC came back and drove
the length of the field, including converting a fourth and
long with a perfectly thrown
bomb by Matt Leinart. Then,
with three seconds left and no
timeouts remaining from the
one-yard line, the Trojans
eschewed a tying field goal
and went for it. Leinart barely twisted into the end zone
on a quarterback sneak for
the victory. Wow — pretty
good theatre.
Remember, too, that those
games listed above are just a
few highlights that I picked
out. Louisville and West VirSee LUCAS, Page 2-B
Astros win NLCS
■ Houston captures
first World Series
berth in team history
By MIKE FITZPATRICK
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — On this wild
night of celebration, the Houston
Astros owed it all to Roy Oswalt.
He took their dreams, hopes
and gritty resolve and pitched
his teammates into their first
World Series, beating the St.
Louis Cardinals 5-1 Wednesday
night with help from Craig Biggio.
Coming off a crushing loss in
Game 5 of the NL championship
series at home on Albert Pujols’
stunning homer, the stubborn
Astros refused to be shaken.
They jumped to an early lead
behind Biggio and Jason Lane,
got perhaps a little help from
the umpires and watched
Oswalt shut down St. Louis for
seven innings in earning the
series MVP award.
Now that this wild-card team
has its first NL pennant, the
Astros will travel to Chicago take
on the AL champion White Sox
in the World Series, which
begins Saturday night.
Cameras flashed all over
Busch Stadium as Dan Wheeler
got Yadier Molina on a flyball
for the final out.
NL champions for the first
time in their 44-season history,
the Astros rushed to the mound
to celebrate, bouncing in unison
before heading to the clubhouse
for what was sure to be a more
raucous party.
Houston had been 0-5 with a
chance to clinch the NLCS. This
time, the Astros would not be
denied.
For St. Louis, the loss marked
the end of the season for the
team that led the majors with
100 wins. It also was the final
game at Busch, scheduled for
demolition to make room for the
city’s new ballpark.
After the final out, St. Louis
fans stood and applauded, then
chanted “Let’s Go Cardinals!”
The video board played highlights of great Cardinals players and moments at Busch Stadium, featuring Ozzie Smith,
Mark McGwire and even broadcaster Jack Buck.
The Astros won this rematch
in six games after losing last
year in Game 7 at Busch Stadium. Thanks to Oswalt, it didn’t
go that far this time.
Roger Clemens did his part,
Andy Pettitte did, too — and
Astros stalwarts Biggio and Jeff
Bagwell finally fulfilled their
delicious dream of winning a
pennant together.
So while the Fall Classic is
headed to the Windy City for the
first time since 1959, Texas will
get its first crack ever. Folks in
the Lone Star State like things
big, and it doesn’t get any bigger
than this in baseball.
Get ready for “Deep in the
Heart of Texas” during the seventh-inning stretch.
In baseball-mad St. Louis, the
Busch era ended in bitter disappointment.
Swept by Boston in the 2004
World Series and determined to
avenge that defeat, the Cardinals were unable to capture a
second consecutive pennant.
St. Louis is still waiting for its
first World Series championship
since 1982.
Born in 1962 as the Colt .45s,
the Astros didn’t make the playoffs until 1980 and didn’t win a
postseason series until last year.
Nolan Ryan, J.R. Richard and
Mike Scott highlighted some
stingy pitching staffs the called
the mammoth Astrodome home,
but they couldn’t carry Houston
to a pennant.
Not until Pettitte and
Clemens came home to join
Oswalt in a stellar rotation did
the Astros get over the hump.
And on the night it clinched
the NLCS, Houston didn’t even
need to use Brad Lidge, the AllStar closer who gave up Pujols’
two-out homer in the ninth
inning Monday night that sent
the series back to St. Louis.
The Astros were one strike
from their first World Series

before David Eckstein’s single
started the rally in Game 5.
Lidge had been voted MVP late
in Game 5 before he gave up
Pujols’ prodigious shot.
Several other teams that
squandered terrific chances to
clinch a postseason series never
recovered: the 1986 California
Angels, the 1986 Boston Red
Sox, the 2003 Chicago Cubs and
the 2004 New York Yankees, to
name a few.

night against Pirates

Vancleave’s defense will look to slow down Pass Christian’s offense led by Jarred
Browser Friday night in hopes of capturing their second win of the season.
There hasn’t been much to
celebrate so far to the season
for the Vancleave football program, but Friday night they get
their chance as they welcome
Pass Christian for homecoming at 7:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs have captured
just one win in its first six
games, but are still in the hunt
to represent Region 7-4A in the
state playoffs if they d get some
help. However, Vancleave must
get ready for a one-win Pass
Christian team football coach
Jimmy Bloomfield feels has
done a tremendous job on the
field under some tough circumstances.
“We respect them so much,”
said Bloomfield. “They’ve been
through so much with the
storm, but their kids have
played hard. We’re not going
overlook them.”
One key for Vancleave to
avoid the upset, according to
Bloomfield, is to play mistakefree football, something the
Bulldogs haven’t done consistently during the season.
“We’ve been in every ball
game, but we’ve been making
little mistakes that’s hurt us,”
said Bloomfield. “We need to
correct those mistakes, and
take of the minor details if we
want to be successful.”
Another key to their success
Friday night is for Vancleave
to stop the Pirates talented running back Jarred Browser.
“He’s as good an athlete that
we’ve seen this year,” said
Bloomfield. “We haven’t done a
good job of stopping people this
year, so we need to work on
that Friday night.”
Two defenders Bloomfield
said could play a factor Friday
night are freshman nose guard
Robert Sanderson and senior
linebacker Nick Dubuisson.

From Page 1-B
Oswalt, who also beat Mark
Mulder in Game 2 at Busch Stadium, gave up only three hits
and struck out six, improving to
4-0 in his postseason career.
The Astros became the first
team to win a pennant after
dropping 15 games under .500
since 1914 Boston Braves. Now,
they’ll take aim on something
else: trying to become the fourth
straight wild-card team to win
the championship.
With the Cardinals trailing
3-0 in the fifth, Mark
Pats’ Bruschi
returns to
practice field
From staff, wire reports
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tedy Bruschi lifted
both legs far over his head as he lay on his back
and stretched. He chased teammate Mike Vrabel
and blocked him playfully in the back. He ran to
the next drill.
And he smiled.
For the first time since a minor stroke eight
months ago threatened his NFL career, the Patriots’ star linebacker was practicing with his team
Wednesday.
“I’m back playing the game that I love,” Bruschi
said before putting on his shoulder pads and his
dark blue 54 jersey, carrying his helmet out of
the locker room and walking into the noon sun.
It was a short walk compared to the road
Bruschi has traveled since Feb. 6, when New
England won its third Super Bowl in four years. A
week later, Bruschi played in his first Pro Bowl.
Three days after that, he was hospitalized after
experiencing numbness in his left arm and left
leg. Then he had surgery in March to repair a
small hole in his heart.
As recently as September, the 32-year-old
defensive co-captain said he wouldn’t play this
year. But he kept working out in the team’s
weight room, running and attending team meetings. He also stood on the sideline during home
games.
Then he received medical clearance from several doctors to cross that barrier and play this
season.
“I have no type of reservations,” Bruschi said
Wednesday before practice. “I think I’ve done ...
everything that I had to do to make sure that my
confidence level is high for when I need to stick
my face in there. I’m going to stick it in and I’m
going to stick it in hard.”
But the night before his return was restless. He
said he didn’t get much sleep.
“A lot of things on my mind,” Bruschi said, “a
lot of things racing through my mind, but excited.”
Coach Bill Belichick was excited to have
Bruschi back and said he wouldn’t wince when
Bruschi gets hit on the field.
“Anything any other player would do, that’s
what he’s going to do” in practice, Belichick said.
He said he didn’t know if Bruschi would play in
the next game Oct. 30 against Buffalo after the
Patriots’ bye week. On Monday, Belichick said
that was possible and Bruschi said he had no
doubts he would play in a game this season.
Delhomme recovered from hit that knocked
him out of Lions game
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina quarterback
Jake Delhomme didn’t practice Wednesday as
he recovers from a hit that knocked him out of
last week’s game against Detroit.
The Panthers had the luxury of holding him out
a day because they have a bye this weekend.
But if they did have a game, Delhomme said he
was positive he could play.
“I feel great,” Delhomme said. “I felt fine on
Monday, actually. I was fine after the game. I
remembered every play. I had an appetite. No
headache. It was just a good hit.”
The Panthers are not calling Delhomme’s
injury a concussion, and he said he wasn’t
knocked unconscious when Lions safety Kenoy
Kennedy hit him as Delhomme was sliding to
end a running play late in the fourth quarter. But
he was woozy and had to leave the game.
Chris Weinke replaced him and went 5-for-7
while leading the Panthers on their winning drive.
His 3-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl with
32 seconds to play gave Carolina a 21-20 victory.
NASCAR
Commission upholds two-race suspension
for Berrier
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A National Stock
Car Racing Commission panel on Wednesday
unanimously upheld the two-race suspension
and other penalties handed down by NASCAR to
Todd Berrier, Kevin Harvick’s crew chief.
Berrier was banished from Talladega Superspeedway on Oct. 1, the day before the Nextel
Cup race, after NASCAR inspectors found several technical violations in the trunk area of the
No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.
The crew chief was suspended for two weeks,
fined $10,000 and place on probation through
Dec. 31.
M.P.Y.B.O. meeting set
There will be a meeting of the new Babe Ruth

and anyone interested is invited. For further
information, contact Sherwood Bradford, Sr. at

Lucas
Grudzielanek was hit by a pitch
and Molina singled for their
first hit. Oswalt knocked down
Abraham Nunez’s comebacker
and threw wide to second,
where Adam Everett made a
lunging grab and tried to tag
Molina, who jumped back in an
effort to dodge the shortstop’s
glove.
Second base ump Greg Gibson initially spread his arms —
perhaps signaling safe, perhaps
just to show that Everett was
off the bag. Then Gibson made
two emphatic out calls, appar-
ently ruling that Everett tagged
Molina.
Replays appeared to show
that Everett missed the tag,
and St. Louis manager Tony
La Russa argued briefly to no
avail. During an in-game TV
interview, La Russa said the
umpire told him there had been
a tag.
Instead of having the bases
loaded with none out, the Cardinals had runners at the corners with one out. Pinch-hitter
John Rodriguez hit a sacrifice
fly and Eckstein struck out.
Astros manager Phil Garner
took a page out of La Russa’s
playbook in the sixth, when
Everett’s suicide squeeze made
it 4-1. Morgan Ensberg added a
two-out RBI single in the seventh.
Oswalt advanced two runners with a sacrifice bunt in
the third, though St. Louis
passed up a chance to cut down
the lead runner at third.
Mulder’s wild pitch behind
Biggio gave Houston the lead,
and Biggio’s RBI single made
it 2-0.
Lane connected for a solo shot
in the fourth.
From Page 1-B
ginia had a three-overtime
game. Boston College slipped
past Wake Forest 35-30 on a
spectacular touchdown pass
and catch with a minute left.
Florida-LSU, Florida State-
Virginia and several others
went to the wire.
It was, in its totality, a Saturday of football to remember. In a wonderful way, that
mid-October day reminded us
of why college game day is
hard to beat.

Saints encounter more distractions
■ New Orleans
unable to practice in
Alamodome because
of builders’ convention
By TIM PRICE
For The Associated Press
AP
Workers build a house in the south end zone area of
the Alamodome in San Antonio, Wednesday. Saints
coach Jim Haslett is hoping the sound of nails being
hammered and wood being sawed won't be heard in
his team's meeting rooms the next three weeks as they
share the Alamodome with a contractors' convention.
The Saints moved to San Antonio after Katrina.
SAN ANTONIO — Saints
coach Jim Haslett is hoping the
sound of hammers and nails
— or any of the other commotion off the field — won’t be
heard in the team’s meeting
rooms at the Alamodome.
For a 2-4 team struggling to
come to grips with its displacement by Hurricane Katrina, a whole new set of distractions has come to a head
this week.
In addition to high-profile
front-office changes that may
affect the franchise’s future in
New Orleans, the distractions
include a large house being
built in one of the end zones
at the Alamodome in time for a
home builders’ convention.
The Saints can’t practice in
the Alamodome for the next
three weeks because of the convention. It was booked by city
officials weeks before the
Saints’ move to San Antonio
after Hurricane Katrina damaged the Louisiana Superdome.
“That’s weird, seeing the turf
taken up and they’re building a
house in there,” offensive tackle Jermane Mayberry said.
“Coach Haslett has done a
great job in concentrating on
football. But, still, you walk
into your building and they’re
building a house in it. It’s like,
‘Whoa.’
“Everything that you would
think is remotely normal, this
year it’s different. Everything is
different this year.”
Just when the Saints were
settling into a routine, it was
disrupted again. In addition to
three weeks without their primary practice facility, the next
eight games will require travel.
Four of those games are on the
road, and the four “home”
games are in Baton Rouge, La.,
more than an hour from San
Antonio by plane.
“There’s nothing you can do
about it,” Haslett said. “You
just try to take it day by day,
and every day is different. I
really am proud of how the
players and their coaches have
Superstitious Bama QB finds lucky charm
■
Brodie Croyle’s
bracelet giving him,
team luck in 2005
By The Associated Press
The string bracelet Brodie
Croyle wears around his left
wrist isn’t just for looks.
It’s also, he says, a good-luck
charm. No. 5 Alabama’s quarterback said he had worn a
rubber band since the eighth
grade and it snapped twice
before a game, once as a senior
in high school and once last season.
Both times, he said, he tore a
knee ligament in the game and
his season was over. Croyle said
a girl gave him a new, sturdier
bracelet after he spoke to a
group of fifth-graders.
“She said she had heard
about my superstition and didn’t think this would break,”
Croyle said. “It hasn’t broke
yet.”
And if it breaks before Saturday’s game with Tennessee?
Then, he jokes, “Marc’s got it,”
referring to backup Marc Guillon.
That’s another indication that
normal second-teamer John
Parker Wilson will be suspended for the game. Wilson was
charged with a DUI early Sunday morning and was working
with the scout-teamers in practice Tuesday. Coach Mike Shula doesn’t comment on disciplinary actions against players.
ARKANSAS
Arkansas’ passing game has
struggled most of the season.
Now, coach Houston Nutt says
he’s thinking about changing
quarterbacks.
Robert Johnson has started
all six games this season, but
the sophomore has thrown for
only 757 yards. He went 17-of28 for 174 yards last week in
Arkansas’ 34-17 loss to Auburn.
Nutt says he’s keeping his
options open going into this
week’s game at No. 4 Georgia.
Nutt said Johnson, redshirt
freshman Alex Mortensen,
freshman Cole Barthel and
freshman Casey Dick split time
with the first team earlier this
week during practice. He hoped
to narrow down the competition soon.
AUBURN
Auburn’s visit to Baton
Rouge will be a short one.
The 16th-ranked Tigers will
fly into town about three hours
before Saturday night’s game
with No. 7 LSU because of a
shortage of available hotel
rooms after Hurricane Katrina.
“There are no complaints on
our part,” Auburn coach Tommy
Tuberville said. “We’ll go down
there and play and it will make
no difference on who wins and
loses the game.”
Tennessee also flew into town
on game day while Florida opted to spread its team in various
area hotels.
Auburn will fly out of Montgomery Saturday afternoon.
“We’ll spend the night Friday
night in the hotel and we’ll fly
out. It’ll only be like an hour
flight,” quarterback Brandon
Cox said. “It’s like a bus ride.
It’ll be different but it will be
similar to the (usual) routine.”
LSU
LSU is going back to basics to
fix its turnover problems.
The seventh-ranked Tigers
have nine turnovers in two
weeks, and a premium is being
placed on ball security this
week against No. 16 Auburn.
LSU has the worst turnover
margin in the SEC, at minussix. LSU has lost 11 of 14 fumbles and thrown four interceptions.
“We have to quit (turning the
ball over),” offensive coordinator
Jimbo Fisher told The TimesPicayune. “We have to take a
look in the mirror and decide
how important it is to do things
right all the time. It’s not effort
and it’s not them doing it on
purpose, and that’s where I
take blame for it. It’s fundamentals.”
So, the Tigers are working on
ball-security drills this week.
Receivers, running backs and
quarterbacks run through a
gauntlet of teammates who slap
the ball, grab it and try to pry it
away.
MISSISSIPPI
Robert Lane brings a fullback’s mentality to the quarterback position. Now the high
school All-American quarterback has moved to fullback.
Lane, the latest Rebels player to change positions under
new coach Ed Orgeron, could
play up to four positions this
week against Kentucky.
The backup quarterback and
reserve fullback also practiced
at tight end and wide receiver.
“I’ve said all along that in our
program, we’re going to get the
best football players on the field
regardless of position,” Orgeron
said. “And Robert Lane is certainly one of our best players.
We’ve had some success with
some of these changes before.
We’ve been right on most of
them.”
Lane, who is 6-foot-3 and 230
pounds, was approached by
Orgeron on Monday about
adding a position to his repertoire after starting fullback
Jason Cook broke his left arm.
The only other scholarship fullback on the team, Jamal
Pittman, moved from tailback.
He practiced for the first time
at his new position Tuesday,
and delivered a crushing block
on a linebacker while springing a receiver for a gain.
MISSISSIPPI STATE
Jerious Norwood is adding a
new responsibility to his game,
too.
The preseason all-SEC running back will return punts for
the Bulldogs this week against
Houston.
“It’s the same thing as if we
ran a toss-sweep,” coach
Sylvester Croom said. “Then
you line up on first down and
’Let’s go.’ That’s the way I look
at it. (Norwood) gets an extra
down.”
Norwood and freshman
Derek Pegues are replacing
Jonathan Lowe, whose fumble
of a punt two weeks ago led to a
Florida touchdown. Lowe also
failed to catch two punts deep
in Mississippi State territory,
leading to a pair of safeties.
Norwood pushed Croom for
the job, even though he says he
hasn’t returned punts regularly since high school.
He was inserted to catch a
punt against the Gators and
returned it 76 yards, but it was
called back because of a penalty.
One way Nelson and his staff
have gotten the Gators ready is
challenging them at practice
during the week. Since school
lets out at Gautier an hour later than usual, the Gators have
little time to waste on the practice field.
“We’ve challenged this kids
on and off the field,” said Nelson. “We’re sending out
progress reports here at school,
and these kids have responded
in the classroom, too.
“We’ve had our share of success, but we’re not overconfident.”
Greene County at Raleigh,
7:30 p.m.
Another region showdown on
the road awaits 3A No. 2
Greene County Friday night as
they travel to Raleigh.
So far, the Wildcats have
played perfect football in
Region 8-3A (5-2, 4-0), but football coach Johnny Ainsworth
feels his team will have its
hands full Friday night.
“Raleigh has a good football
team,” said Ainsworth. “They
have good skilled people, and
they score a lot of points.
“It’s going to be another key
division game on the road for
us.”
Whether it’s been away or at
home, the Wildcats have played
arguably some of the best football in 3A this season. Greene
County’s road region wins have
come against the likes of Magee
and Collins. They lost to Wayne
County and West Lauderdale,
the No. 7 and No. 1 teams
respectively in 4A.
“We’ve won all our road
games in the division, but I was
proud the way we played
Wayne County and West Lauderdale in our losses,” said
Ainsworth. “We’re where we
need to be as a football team.”
Ainsworth added that offensive lineman Brandon Smith
will not play Friday night.
FCAHS at East Central,
7:30 p.m.
Friday night’s East Central
and Forrest County Agricultural High School meeting will
be the first since 1990, and the
second contest between the two
schools since 1976.
Forrest County won both
those contests, but East Central football coach Toby Melton
is worried about the 2005 version of the Aggies.
“It’s been awhile since we’ve
played them, but we saw them
in the spring, and they have a
good football team,” said
Melton. “They’re physical and
like to get after you.”
Melton’s looking for the
same thing from his team.
“We’re going to play some
smash-mouth football,” said
Melton. “We haven’t changed
much this week, but we’re
working on some things.”
One thing Melton and his
coaching staff didn’t have to
work on this week was the
team’s psyche. Despite a tough
loss to Gautier last weekend,
Melton said his team has
worked hard this week in
preparations for the Aggies.
“Practice has been upbeat,”
said Melton. “We felt our pride
got hurt last week against Gautier, but we’ve hit it hard this
week.
“I looking for my seniors to
light a fire underneath this
team, and hopefully we can find
a way to win.”
It will be homecoming at
East Central.
St. Martin at D’Ibevrille,
7:30 p.m.
The Yellowjackets travel to
D’Iberville Friday night in
hopes of its second win in a row
in Region 7-4A.
St. Martin (1-4, 1-2) is coming off a 35-33 win over Vancleave last Friday night. The
Yellowjackets got big a night
from T.J. Hay and Michael Payton. Hay tossed five touchdown
passes, three to Payton, and
one each to Brandon Payton
and Zach Billington.
Josh Johnson can be reached

Prep
From Page 1-B
Bloomfield has also been
impressed with his seniors’ play
this season.
Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
Gautier at Stone County,
7 p.m. in Perkinston
Gautier’s four-game winning
streak has bolted the Gators
into this week’s Mississippi
Associated Press sports writers 4A poll at No. 9.
However, that doesn’t make a
difference to Gautier (5-1, 4-1)
football coach Don Nelson as
his team travels to Stone County Friday night.
“It’s an honor to be ranked,
but it doesn’t matter because
it’s where you finish that’s
important,” said Nelson. “You
set your goals high at the start
of the season to be ranked, but
now things are different for us.
People are going to shoot for
you.”
The first team to get that
chance will be a tough-luck
Stone County team. The Tomcats have won just two games
this season, but Nelson expects
a tough game.
“They’ve won just two games,
so they’ve struggled so far,” said
Nelson. “They have one of the
top running backs in the state
— Elvin Moore, so we’re in for
a tough game. I think they’ll
be ready, but so will we.”
“They’re all asking about it,”
Haslett said.
As a part of the displacement
from Louisiana, at least two
assistant coaches are living in
the Alamodome. One coach
bunks in the former office of
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich;
the Spurs played in the Alamodome from 1993-2002.
But most of the players
aren’t asking about the team’s
future home. Team owner Tom
Benson on Monday fired executive vice president Arnold
Fielkow, an outspoken proponent of keeping the team in
New Orleans.
Benson continues to refuse
comment over the team’s
future.
“That’s petty stuff,” running
back Aaron Stecker said of the
front-office changes. “We can’t
deal with that. You just go on.
And whether we’re practicing
in a parking lot or a grass field,
you just go out there and get
the job done. On Sunday, you
win games. And we need to get
on a roll winning games.”
handled the situation. They go
with the flow.”
In addition to the Alamodome, the Saints have practiced
sporadically at a refurbished
high school grass field about
10 minutes from the stadium.
Haslett said the team is trying
to secure a different field with
an artificial surface in time for
a practice on Friday.
The Saints play on artificial
turf Sunday in St. Louis.
Haslett has shown frustration with the situation. But he’s
also trying to accept the disruptions lightheartedly.
Walkthrough practices that
were conducted most mornings
on the Alamodome field have
been moved to the stadium’s
concourse. The field was rolled
up and stored before the construction on the house started.
The concourse is near some of
the stadium’s main entryways
adjacent to the ticket windows.
“Someone walked in the door
today and wanted to buy tickets,” Haslett said, smirking.
Haslett also has noticed the
attention some of his assistant
coaches are giving to the house
in the end zone.
Gators look to
fix weaknesses
■ Defensive lapses
hurting Florida at
critical times
By The Associated Press
Cornerback Reggie Nelson has moved to safety in
hopes of shoring up No. 18
Florida’s biggest defensive
weakness.
The unit’s most costly
breakdowns this season have
come with free safeties Kyle
Jackson and Tony Joiner out
of position.
Jackson misplayed two
long touchdown passes at
Alabama earlier this month
and was out of position on a
crucial third-down play in the
fourth quarter at LSU. The
31-yard completion led to the
game-winning touchdown in
LSU’s 21-17 victory.
GEORGIA
Coach Mark Richt is sticking by his opposition to a
playoff system, even though
the Bulldogs might benefit
from such a format this season.
No. 4 Georgia (6-0, 4-0
SEC) was fourth in the first
Bowl Championship Series
standings of the season, trailing Southern Cal, Texas and
Virginia Tech. Since only the
top two teams play in the
BCS title game, the Bulldogs
could go undefeated and still
get left out.
The same thing happened
to another Southeastern Conference team just last season. Auburn went 13-0 but
had to play in the Sugar
Bowl, while USC and Oklahoma met for the BCS championship at the Orange Bowl
(the Trojans won in a rout).
KENTUCKY
Taking advantage of an
open date, coach Rich Brooks
traveled to Oregon last weekend to participate in ceremonies honoring the Ducks’
1994 team, which he guided
to the Pacific-10 championship and the Rose Bowl.
Oregon inducted that team
into its athletic hall of fame.
Brooks, whose job status
at Kentucky has been questioned for much of the past
two seasons, cited his successful rebuilding job at Oregon as one reason he should
serve out his five-year contract.
SOUTH CAROLINA
If you want change, look
at South Carolina’s offensive
line.
Almost no other spot on
the Gamecocks has had as
much shifting and changed
positions as the O-line. That’s
perhaps one of the biggest
reasons the Gamecocks are
dead last in the Southeastern Conference rushing stats
— and 114th in the NCAA
— averaging only 78.5 yards
a game.
There have been nine players who’ve started on the
offensive line for South Carolina this season, including
sophomores James Thompson and Jamon Meredith.
Center Chris White and
Na’Shan Goddard are the
only players who have started all six games this season.
TENNESSEE
Coach Phillip Fulmer
makes a habit of explaining
to players the history of Tennessee’s rivalries before most
games. The Volunteers’ history with Alabama goes way,
way back.
Tennessee (3-2, 2-2) visits
the Crimson Tide (6-0, 4-0)
on Saturday in a rivalry dating to 1901. Many longtime
Tennessee fans consider the
Alabama game as the biggest
of the year. It became known
as the “Third Saturday in
October,” when the game was
traditionally played, but it’s
on the following Saturday for
the fourth year in a row.
“We try to tell the history
of all our rivalries, especially
one like Alabama where we
go back to Gene McEver’s
touchdown run to spring the
upset of 1928. We talk about
the great games, the great
coaches and the great players
who have been involved in
this historic rivalry. That’s
part of getting ready for
Alabama. Our team appreciates what it means,” said
Fulmer, who is 10-2 against
the Tide.
VANDERBILT:
The Commodores’ biggest
problem right now is their
struggles catching passes.
In each of Vanderbilt’s last
two SEC losses, first to
LSU,
then
Georgia,
receivers dropped passes.
Against the Bulldogs, Marlon White had the most
obvious drop with a wouldbe touchdown pass that
went right through his
hands so cleanly that it
bounced off his knee.
Coach Bobby Johnson
said rebuilding their confidence means working on
fundamentals in practice.
