Two teensare jailedin killingover diceBy John [email protected]

Two teenagers, including a 14-year-old, have been arrested in the slaying Tuesday of a Vicksburg man after an argument over a dice game, police said.

Kendall Oliver, 14, 2200 Marshall St., and Michael Jackson, 19, 1717 Martha St., were arrested Wednesday in the kill-ing of Robert Banks, 19, 226 High Hill Drive, said Lt. Bobby Stewart of the Vicksburg Police Depart-ment. Both are believed to have participated in securing the weapon used in the shooting, police said.

James Ransom, 19, 1717 Martha St., whom police have said fired the shot that killed Banks, remained in the county jail without bond.

Bridge’s ‘flag lady’ Millsaps diesBy Pamela [email protected]

In 1994, Blanche Mill-saps led the effort to raise a U.S. flag and keep it flying over the old U.S. 80 bridge over the Mississippi River. She said that first flag was dedicated to U.S. service-men “present and absent,” and it brought Vicksburg attention from all over the country.

Millsaps died Wednesday, June 1, 2011, at River Region Medical Center. She was 80.

Bridge superintendent Herman Smith said that what has come to be recog-nized as a symbol of Vicks-burg would not be there if it

had not been for Millsaps.

“She was just a great lady,” Smith said today. “I hate to see her gone.”

Millsaps, known to some as “the flag lady,” so believed in the project that for many years she bought the flags herself, said her daughter, Earline Millsaps of Hood River, Ore.

Each costs about $600 and has to be replaced every three to four months. In recent years, the money has been raised or donated by people who want a flag to fly

in memory of a loved one, said Smith.

“I’ve had people tell me, when they’ve been out of town and come back over the I-20 bridge and saw that flag, they knew they were home,” Smith said.

Earline Millsaps said her mother was also dedicated to Mississippi politics, and worked for the Republican Party as well as the Civil Rights Movement.

“She was instrumental in getting some laws passed in the state Legislature,” Ear-line Millsaps said, includ-ing at least one that helped protect victims of domestic

Three lawmakers to be opposedBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

Three Vicksburg-area legis-lators picked up opponents in this year’s primary and gen-eral elections.

State Rep. George Flaggs, D-Vicksburg, qualified in May for a seventh term rep-resenting central Vicksburg. Sam Smith, a local restau-rant industry veteran, quali-fied for the race as a Repub-lican. Flaggs, 58, defeated Smith, 47, in 1987 when the area’s senior legislator first won the seat.

Flaggs chairs the House Banking and Financial Ser-vices Committee and holds spots on the Appropriations, Executive Contingent Fund,

Fees and Salaries of Public Officers, Gaming, Investi-gate State Offices, Legisla-tive Budget, Medicaid, Public Health and Human Services committees.

State Rep. Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, represents parts of three precincts in north-east Warren County. Jim Cul-berson, of Yazoo City, filed for the seat as a Democrat.

Gunn was first elected in 2003.State

Rep. Chuck Middleton, D-Port Gibson, faces fellow Democrat Jef-fery Harness, of Fayette, in the Aug. 2 primary. Middle-ton’s district covers parts of three precincts in south Warren County. Middleton chairs the House Enrolled Bills Committee and sits on the Agriculture, Appro-

61 South at big black to reopen Friday

By Danny Barrett [email protected]

U.S. 61 South at the Big Black River is expected to open to traffic by 10 a.m. Friday while another of Vicksburg’s five casinos reopened today after being closed for three months of renovation.

Water inside pavement in the north-bound lane near the bridge over the Big Black River, the border between Warren and Claiborne counties, has prolonged detours to Port Gibson and points south during the Mississippi River flood of 2011 that became a real-ity in Vicksburg when flood stage of 43 feet was topped on May 1 and the crest didn’t come until May 19 — at 57.1 feet. The road closed May 13.

Recent inspections indicate the reopening time will hold, accord-ing to the Mississippi Department of Transportation’s latest advisory.

TV, guns missingin house burglaries

Two residential burglaries were reported in the city Wednesday and this morning, Lt. Bobby Stewart of the Vicksburg Police Department said.

On Wednesday at 9:16 p.m., a Sony 32-inch, flat-screen TV valued at $400 was reported missing from the 1300 block of Mundy Street.

At 8:15 this morning, a Remington 20-gauge shotgun valued at $400 and a Smith & Wesson .22-caliber semi-auto-matic handgun of an unknown value were reported missing from a home in the 1600 block of Lummie Street.

The Mississippi Court of Appeals has upheld the con-viction of a Vicksburg man sentenced to life in prison for the 2008 shooting death of his Meadowvale Drive neighbor.

Eric Davis, 37, was con-victed in November 2009 of

murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Jurors found him guilty of killing Devon Moore, who was 23 and lived at 106 Mead-owvale Drive. Prosecutors

said the two had a property-line dispute.

Davis had appealed the verdict in 2010, claiming pre-siding Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick erred in certain evi-dence he allowed and did not allow into the trial.

Appeals court justices

reviewed testimony and jury instructions and unani-mously upheld the convic-tion and sentencing.

Davis is currently incarcer-ated at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Leakesville.

abuse.She visited Cleveland, in

the Mississippi Delta, in the 1960s to help with voter regis-tration of blacks, and her car often was ticketed by police trying to keep her from get-ting to the polls, said her daughter. “She was very con-cerned about the fact that ‘separate but equal’ was, in fact, not equal,” she added, and worked to see that prac-tice changed.

Blanche Millsaps was born and raised in Sumrall. She moved to Vicksburg in 1966 when her husband, David Millsaps, who worked for Mississippi Power & Light came to help the start-up of the Baxter-Wilson steam-gen-erating electric plant.

She worked for South Cen-tral Bell and was a member of the Telephone Pioneers, a group that produced a Vicksburg cookbook to raise money for worthy projects and needy individuals.

Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mill-saps was part of a group that tied and gave away more than 1,000 red, white and blue ribbons unifying Vicksburg in honoring those who died.

Her mother’s dedication to others and her projects were a lasting influence, said Earline Millsaps, a retired nuclear engineer.

“She was a very good role model for a young girl who wanted to become an engi-neer,” Earline Millsaps said, her voice breaking slightly. “She always made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do.”

The Army-Navy Club of Vicksburg began taking over flag duties as Blanche Mill-saps’ health began to fail and will continue the tradition in her honor, said Smith.

“The last year or year and a half were tough on her, but she was able to make all of the flag raisings up until the last two,” said Smith.

“It’s our intent to come up with a name (for the pro-gram) that honors Blanche,” said Louis Decell of the Army-Navy Club. “We don’t want this practice to end, and she was pleased that some-one wanted to continue it.”

The next flag raised, pur-chased by the Army-Navy Club, will be in her honor, said Decell.

She was a member of West-minster Presbyterian Church.

In addition to her daughter, Blanche Millsaps leaves her son, David Millsaps, of Rich-land, Wash.

Blanche Millsaps will be buried in Sumrall, her daugh-ter said. Funeral arrange-ments were incomplete with Glenwood Funeral Home in charge.

Punishment suggested in escape that led to Vicksburg kidnappingBATON ROUGE (AP) —

Four Department of Public Safety employees should be disciplined and security pro-tocols strengthened after two trusties escaped in March, the Louisiana State Police has said after completing a series of investigations.

State Police launched inter-nal investigations to deter-mine how Ricky Wedgeworth and Darian Pierce fled the agency’s headquarters while

on work detail March 4.Two probes looked into

whether the men were

assisted in their escape and reviewed the State Police Trusty Program’s policies and procedures, Superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson said.

Wedgeworth and Pierce escaped in a DPS van, then carjacked David Cupps, an Ohio businessman, in Vicks-burg and killed him before being captured March 14 in Tennessee, authorities have said.

An investigation showed the

trusties did not receive help in their escape from their fam-ilies, friends or State Police employees, Edmonson said.

A series of missteps by DPS employees allowed Wedge-worth and Pierce to escape, Edmonson said.

Pierce and Wedgeworth were working maintenance on the grounds when they were sent to a nearby building to help move lockers, Edmonson said. Two supervisors did not

alert the supervisors in the building that the men were moving there, he said.

The two supervisors will be given letters of reprimand, Edmonson said.

Edmonson said a DPS lieu-tenant, in charge of driving the trusties between State Police headquarters and the barracks in Zachary, noticed the men were not on their assigned bus, but still left the grounds.

Trusties sometimes worked past their scheduled time and were allowed to ride back to the barracks on the second bus as long as they were accounted for before the fi rst bus left, Edmonson said.

The lieutenant did not try to locate Pierce and Wedgeworth when they did not appear on the fi rst bus, Edmonson said.

The lieutenant is in the pro-cess of being demoted, Edmon-son said.

House speaker candidate� rst a Democrat, thenindependent, now GOPBy Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press

JACKSON — Longtime state Rep. Jeff Smith of Columbus switched to the Republican Party just before Wednesday’s qualifying deadline for legisla-tive races, and he said he still plans to run for the open spot of Mississippi House speaker in January.

Smith has served in the House for 20 years as a conser-vative Democrat and unsuc-cessfully challenged popu-list Democrat Billy McCoy of Rienzi for the speakership in January 2008 — a nail-biter of a contest that McCoy won by a 62-60 vote.

McCoy said last week he won’t seek re-election, and his decision opened a race for the job of presiding offi cer of the 122-member body. Smith said last week he’d run for re-elec-tion this year as an indepen-dent, and he even fi led quali-fying papers.

Smith said Wednesday he decided to become Republican because the GOP recruited a candidate to run against him. He said he’s hoping to secure his re-election in the Aug. 2 party primary rather than waiting until the Nov. 8 gen-eral election.

“I sort of hated to change par-ties, but I’ve been so conserva-tive for so long,” Smith said. “It’s not a big leap from being a super-conservative Demo-crat to being a Republican. I did have a stop-off for three weeks as an independent.”

Democrat Bobby Moak of Bogue Chitto, who’s unop-posed for re-election in his own district, is also running for speaker. So is Republican Sid Bondurant of Grenada, who faces a Democrat in his district. Others say they’re considering running for the top job in the House, held since January 2004 by McCoy.

Democrats hold a 68-54 advantage over Republicans in the House.

All legislative candidates are running for four-year terms that begin in January.

Nine of the 52 Senate seats are open this year — eight of them because incum-bents aren’t running and one because longtime Democratic Sen. Jack Gordon of Okolona died May 7.

Seventeen of the 122 House seats are open, all because incumbents chose not to seek re-election. Sixteen Senate incumbents are unopposed, as are 48 House incumbents.

Two newcomers have a clear path to election. Repub-lican Sean Tindall of Harri-son County is the only person running in Senate District 49, a seat open because longtime Republican Sen. Billy Hewes of Gulfport is running for lieu-tenant governor. Republican John Thomas “Trey” Lamar III of Tate County is the only person running in House Dis-trict 8, where Republican Rep. Larry Baker chose not to run.

Other highlights:• Two senators are running

for House seats — Republican Nolan Mettetal of Sardis and David Baria of Bay St. Louis.

Mettetal was elected to the Senate as a Democrat in 1999, 2003 and 2007. Mettetal switched to the Republican Party in January 2008, shortly after starting the current four-year term.

Mettetal is now running for a House seat that’s open because

Democrat Warner McBride is not seeking re-election. One other Republican and two Democrats also are running for the House District 10 seat that McBride has held since January 1992. Four Democrats and one Republican are run-ning for the Senate District 10 seat held by Mettetal.

Baria has served one Senate term. He’s running for a House seat that’s open because Dem-ocrat J.P. Compretta is not running. Compretta served in the House 1976-84 and contin-uously since 1988, and he has been House speaker pro tem-pore the past two terms. Baria and one Republican, Dorothy Wilcox of Hancock County, are running for the House District 122 seat Compretta is leaving. Two Dems and four Republi-cans are running for Baria’s Senate District 46 seat.

• State Democratic Party chairman Jamie Franks of Mooreville is running for the seat he held from January 1996 to January 2008. Franks was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in 2007, losing to Republican Phil Bryant. Franks is challenging fi rst-term Rep. Mark Duvall, D-Mantachie, in House Dis-trict 19. A Democrat and two Republicans are in the race.

• The only married couple in the House is on track for re-election. Democrats Kelvin Buck of Holly Springs and Kimberly Campbell Buck of Jackson are unopposed.

• Troy Brown is again chal-lenging Democratic Rep. Willie Perkins of Greenwood in House District 32. Brown is running as an independent, as he did against Perkins in 2007. Brown ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat for lieutenant gov-ernor in 1999 and 2003 and for U.S. Senate in 2000. Perkins has held the House seat since January 1993.

AFTER THE SPILL

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mis-sissippi Gov. Haley Barbour, once considered a challenger to President Barack Obama, is at the top of a list of wit-nesses at a House investiga-tive hearing where Republi-cans are expected to criticize the Obama administration’s response to the Gulf oil spill last year.

Barbour, who has dropped out of the GOP presidential race, was to tell the House Oversight and Govern-ment Reform Committee today how his state has been affected by the April 20, 2010, Deepwa-ter Horizon oil rig explo-sion that killed 11 workers and sent millions of gallons of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico.

“The BP oil spill was an economic disaster for Missis-sippi,” Barbour said in pre-pared remarks.

The hearing comes amid Republican demands that

the administration do more to promote domestic oil pro-duction and disputes the White House position over how best to encourage drill-ing in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.

Change of commandat N.O. Coast Guard

NEW ORLEANS — On the fi rst day of the 2011 hur-ricane season, Rear Adm. Mary E. Landry, the com-mander of the Coast Guard district overseeing the Gulf

of Mexico when the Deep-water Horizon exploded last spring, retired Wednesday from duty.

As she was applauded at a change of command cer-emony, Landry said, “All I really wanted was to stand here today and say we got the mission done, and we did it without anyone getting seriously hurt or killed.”

Landry, a native of Buf-falo, N.Y., took over the com-mand of the Coast Guard’s Eighth District in June 2009. She transferred command

to Rear Adm. Roy Nash, who has been deputy director of the National Maritime Intelli-gence Center since July 2009.

Last 30 sea turtlesreleased into Gulf

NEW ORLEANS — The last 30 sea turtles rescued from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — including one that apparently had been bitten by a shark have gotten well and have been released back into the Gulf.

They were among nearly 200 sea turtles brought to the Audubon Aquarium’s Aquat-ics Center during and after the spill in 2010.

“It took a little time but they actually all healed up very nicely,” said aquarium veterinarian Cara Field.

A federal contractor released the turtles Friday off of Venice, Audubon Nature Institute spokes-woman Sarah Burnette said Wednesday.

Burnette said most were healthy enough for release last year, but the remaining 30 wintered at the institute.

STARKVILLE — Since 1976, Mis-sissippi has seen the tenures of seven governors and six lieutenant governors — but only three House speakers have served over the last 35 years. Retiring House Speaker Billy McCoy has held the post for the past eight years. The late leg-endary Speaker C.B. “Buddie” Newman of Redwood held the post from 1976-1988, when he was suc-ceeded by Tim Ford, who held the post from 1988 until 2004. McCoy succeeded Ford.

But for Mississippi Republicans, the deeper perspective is this — Republicans in the modern era have been elected governor and lieuten-ant governor. The state Senate in the modern era achieved a GOP majority. But not since the early 1870s at the height of Reconstruc-tion have Republicans controlled the Mississippi House of Repre-sentatives. The last time a Republi-can held the post of speaker of the Mississippi House, that speaker was John R. Lynch, the esteemed African-American Republican who served in that post from 1872 to 1873 before eventually winning election

to Congress.Democrats have controlled the

House Speaker’s post in Missis-sippi for some 138 years. Begin-ning with Speaker Walter Sillers in 1944 and continuing until Newman was ousted in the infamous House Revolt of 1987, House Speakers ruled with an iron fi rst — reward-ing those loyal to the speaker and punishing those who bucked him.

Mississippi’s House Speaker is empowered to appoint all commit-tees except the Rules and Man-agement committees. That means that the House speaker appoints all members of the committees that deal with money in state govern-

ment — principally the Appropria-tions and Ways and Means com-mittees. In essence, the speaker decides who raises taxes and who spends revenues in bills that will eventually in their fi nal form be voted up or down by rank-and-fi le House members.

All questions voted upon by the House are “put by” the speaker and the speaker determines — even on voice votes — whether a matter has passed or carried.

Those 1987 House reforms limited the speaker to two four-year terms, restricted the speaker’s commit-tee appointment powers and redis-tributed power on the “money”

committees — Appropriations and Ways and Means. The reforms also reinstituted the speaker pro tem-pore position and gave the position considerable powers — voting in the speaker’s stead and chairing the Management Committee that allo-cates offi ce space and staff.

Ford succeeded Newman in 1988. But the 1987 “reforms” eroded and Ford was eventually able to win back the power to succeed himself as speaker and eventually served 16 years in the position that he had in 1987 fought to limit to eight years.

McCoy, a career populist Demo-crat, is a second-generation House member who was mentored by Newman and who had observed the process as a young man during the reigns of Sillers and Speaker John Junkin. McCoy’s true legislative legacy is that of an unquestioned champion for public education, public health care, transportation and economic development. But McCoy’s legacy gets lost behind the two-way partisanship that marked his time as speaker.

When growing Republican strength in the House reached a

point that GOP members saw a chance to oust McCoy and take leadership of the chamber for the fi rst time in 138 years by voting as a bloc and by forging a coalition with sympathetic conservative Demo-crats, McCoy met what he saw as partisanship with partisanship of his own.

No Republicans were appointed to committee chairmanships. Demo-crats controlled the money com-mittees. And McCoy was roundly slammed by the GOP as unfair and overly partisan in his management of the House. The decision made McCoy’s tenure as speaker diffi cult.

But for McCoy, it was a matter of leading the House the way he’d learned to do it in the shadows of Sillers, Junkin, Newman, and Ford. It will be keenly interesting to see if McCoy’s successor approaches leading the House from a less parti-san standpoint.

tion and economic development.

PeaceIt’s too bad for the Republi-

can Party that Benjamin Netan-yahu is not an American citizen. The Israeli prime minister would make a formidable presidential candidate.

Addressing a joint session of Congress on May 24, Netanyahu commanded the House podium with dignity, eloquence, humor and toughness. Though he was perhaps more deferential to Pres-ident Barack Obama than a GOP presidential candidate would have been, Netanyahu demon-strated the proper Republican intransigence: He’s unwilling to go along with Obama’s plans for moving negotiations between Israel and its Palestinian neigh-bors out of stalemate.

“Israel is not what is wrong about the Middle East,” Netan-yahu said, hitting the applause line like the seasoned pro he is. “Israel is what is right about the Middle East.”

Of course, Obama never said it wasn’t. Obama merely noted the geopolitical reality that the time will never be better for Israel to

seek a permanent peace with the Palestinians.

“(W)e can’t afford to wait another decade, or another two decades, or another three decades, to achieve peace,” Obama said.

The “Arab Spring” uprising in Egypt has created deep uncer-tainty. No one knows what Egypt’s new government will look like, but there’s no guaran-tee it will want to continue the peace with Israel that Anwar Sadat brokered and Hosni Muba-rak continued.

There also is new uncertainty about Israeli relations with Turkey and Jordan. Israel’s Arab minority population is growing and by 2025 could be 20 percent of its population. Europe is increas-ingly pro-Palestinian. In Septem-ber, when the Palestinian Author-ity is expected to seek a United Nations resolution in favor of Palestinian statehood, only a U.S. veto in the Security Council will stand in the way — and there’s a move afoot to bypass the Security Council.

The United States, always Isra-el’s best friend, is beginning to look like its only friend.

Netanyahu outlined the other parts: The existential threat posed to Israel by Iran’s nuclear program. Rockets raining out of Gaza onto Israeli homes. Alli-ances, formal and informal, among the Palestinians and the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas.

As a fundamental precondi-tion for peace talks, Netanyahu demanded that Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, declare, “I will accept a Jewish state.”

This is reasonable. Netanyahu might not be willing to return Israel’s borders to those that existed between 1948 and the Six-Day War of 1967, as Obama (and his two predecessors) have suggested, but Obama is correct that the time is right for Israel to make a bold move.

If the Palestinians do not recip-rocate, it would at least gain Israel a few more friends in the world. It could use them.

Changing times, same stalemate

Q: I am 72 years old and soon to be inheriting $150,000. Where should I put this money? I live on Social Secu-rity and a small pension. — Janice, via e-mail

A: Your story is such a common one. You like income, but you want money in perfect safety. In today’s world, that means virtually no income. If you are absolutely risk-adverse, there is almost noth-ing other than CDs or possi-bly interest-bearing checking accounts, but in either case the income is all but negli-gible. There are good solid American companies that are paying anywhere from 3 per-cent to 5 percent dividends, which might be attractive. That would give you a decent income, but understand the stocks from these companies

can and will go up, but also they can go down. That is the sick nature of the mar-ketplace. There is obviously a chance

for a loss, but unless you are able and willing to take some degree of risk, you are con-demned to almost no income. We are in a very bad situation in today’s world, where the borrowers are rewarded and the savers are penalized.

GOP presses Obama on spending cuts, Medicare

WASHINGTON (AP) — Face to face at the White House, GOP leaders complained to President Barack Obama Wednesday that he had not produced a detailed plan of spending cuts and accused him of playing politics over Medicare as the nation careens toward a debt crisis.

House Speaker John Boehner said he was ready to negotiate personally with Obama if that would hurry things along.

The White House said Obama had in fact led on the issue and made clear that he had no intention of dropping what Demo-crats believe is a winning political issue: accusing the GOP of trying to destroy the popular health care program for seniors.

“He doesn’t believe that we need to end Medicare as we know it,” said press secretary Jay Carney.

Republicans said their plan would save Medicare, not end it, and they in turn accused Obama of failing to present any proposals to preserve Medicare or drive down defi-cits at all.

“Unfortunately what we did

not hear from the president is a specific plan,” said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, as Republicans commented out-side the White House.

Later, Boehner told report-ers at the Capitol he hoped def-icit-reduction talks could be wrapped up within a month and “the president agreed.”

Boehner said private talks being led by Vice President Joe Biden were making “some marginal progress. But at the rate that they’re going we’ll be right up against the dead-line.” That was a reference to an Aug. 2 deadline to raise the government’s borrowing limit or risk an unprecedented credit default that the White House and even many Repub-licans say would be disastrous for the U.S. economy.

Asked what else could be done, Boehner said, “The president could engage him-

self. I’m willing. I’m ready. It’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to play large ball, not small ball.”

The White House said Obama had directed Biden to lead the talks. “Both parties acknowledge that the group is making progress and talks are productive, and the presi-dent is closely monitoring and is being regularly briefed by the vice president and staff on the progress,” White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said in response to Boehner.

Republicans are refusing to approve the debt-limit increase without ordering spending cuts topping a trillion dollars at the same time. The White House is insisting that in addi-tion to spending restraint the deficit trimming must include tax increases that Republicans say are off the table.

Stocks point to early gains after of jobs dataNEW YORK (AP) — Stocks

are poised for slight gains in early trading, one day after the Dow Jones industrial average had its largest drop in nearly a year.

Wednesday’s losses were trig-gered by reports that suggested that the U.S. economy is slow-ing. Economic data will likely set the tone again today.

Before the market opened, the government said that first-time applications for unemployment benefits fell to 422,000. The number was a slight dip from the 424,000 applications the pre-vious week, but still above the 419,000 that economists had expected. Applications below

375,000 are thought to signal consistent job growth.

A separate report later in the morning will detail U.S. factory orders for April.

Ahead of the opening bell, Dow futures are up 14, or 0.1 percent, to 12,288. S&P 500 futures are up 3, or 0.2 percent, to 1,315. Nasdaq 100 futures are up 9, or 0.4 percent, to 2,328. Stock futures do not always accurately predict how stocks will trade once the market opens.

Major retailers are report-ing sales results for May throughout the morning. Gap Inc. fell 2.6 percent in pre-mar-ket trading after it missed

analyst expectations. Ware-house retailer Costco Whole-sale Corp. gained 0.3 percent after it reported higher reve-nue, thanks in part to interna-tional sales. Target Corp. was unchanged in trading ahead of the bell after it said that it missed sales expectations after sales traffic slowed during the second half of the month.

Fears that the economy is stall-ing sent the Dow Jones indus-trial average down 280 points Wednesday, erasing more than a quarter of the stock market’s gains for the year. Treasury bond yields fell to their lowest level since December as trad-ers put a higher value on safer investments.

White House urgesauto bailouts, cites paybacks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Taxpayers will lose about $14 billion in the govern-ment’s $80 billion bailout of Chrysler and GM, the White House said Wednes-day, por-traying the outcome a s g o o d news since the losses a r e f a r lower than originally anticipated.

Seizing on the figures, the Obama administration took credit for the resurgence of the U.S. auto industry, assuring taxpayers that the govern-ment’s bailout of Chrysler and GM was an investment worth making.

A report by the president’s National Economic Council noted that as Detroit auto-makers rebound, the tax-payers’ loss from the bail-out will be about $14 billion, or less than 20 percent of the $80 billion that the Bush and Obama admin-istration used to prop up the companies in 2008. The Treasury Department had expected losses closer to 60 percent.

Cookout Saturdayfor survivors

Tyson Foods will hold a free cookout for the community Saturday at Vicksburg Memorial Stadium.

The Feeding Fami-lies event will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will celebrate surviving the flood, a company release said.

“The event is for anybody,” said Rose Bonner, human resources manager for the Warren County plant. “It’s been a tough situation for everybody.”

Flood help has dented United Way’s coffers, official saysBy Manivanh [email protected]

United Way of West Cen-tral Mississippi’s financial assistance to more than 400 Mississippi River flood evac-uees nearly drained the agen-cy’s discretionary fund in a week’s time, forcing the char-ity organization to hold off on its disaster help until more money is generated, the exec-utive director said.

“We were overwhelmed with the number of people asking us for help,” Barbara Tolliver said. “Our initial goal was to bridge the gap for people until

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) was able to step in. We don’t have the funds right now. We’re on hold financially.”

In early May, the chap-ter spent $95,647 of its spe-cial bequest account through two rounds of funding to help 437 displaced residents with housing and other requests, she said.

Funds were used to help pay for the deposit and the first month’s rent for evacuees who found temporary housing in apartments. United Way also gave $500 to families and friends who took in evacuees

to help with living costs. Minor requests for basic

supplies and refilling pre-scriptions also were met.

Tolliver said all submitted applications seeking assis-tance were contacted and some were referred to vari-ous agencies that the United Way funds.

The account now has less than $100,000 in it and will be designated as a disaster relief fund with the looming hurri-cane season, Tolliver said.

The special bequest account is funded through donations from donors across the coun-try, largely from a single

Vicksburg donor who left money to the United Way upon her death several years ago.

Tolliver declined to name the donor and the amount of the donation. Approximately $14,000 came from individ-ual, business and church donations.

The fund was created to help the community buy food, pay utility bills or any immediate services.

Warren County Emergency Management has said 3,202 Warren County residents have been displaced by flood-ing from the Mississippi River,

which topped flood stage of 43 feet at Vicksburg on May 1 and crested at 57.1 feet on May 19.

No funds came from United Way’s campaign dollars, Tol-liver said.

The 2011 campaign to raise funds to help 21 agencies will kick off July 1 and run through Oct. 31. A campaign goal has not been set.

United Way of West Central Mississippi funds agencies in Warren, Sharkey, Issaquena, Yazoo and Claiborne counties, as well as in Madison Parish in Louisiana.

State Rep. Alex Monsour, R-Vicksburg, is unopposed for a second term representing most of nonmunicipal Warren County, Issaquena County and part of Sharkey. Monsour sits on the House Juvenile Justice; Judiciary B; Ports, Harbors and Airports; and Transportation committees.

Same for state Sen. Briggs Hopson III, R-Vicksburg, who has no opponent for his try at a second term. Hopson, an attorney, vice-chairs the Senate Judiciary A and Public Health and Welfare committees and serves on the Judiciary B, Appropriations, Envi-ronmental Protection, Conserva-tion and Water, Ports and Marine Resources, Tourism and Universi-ties and Colleges committees.

U.S. 61 North at Redwood was reopened Wednesday after MDOT inspectors deemed that foundation sufficient. Ten miles of Mississippi 465 between U.S. 61 North and Eagle Lake and 2 miles of Mis-sissippi 16 at Mississippi 149 remain off limits to traffic, probably until the middle of the month, officials have said.

A “pretty extensive cleanup” of dead trees and other debris is certain to both areas, Cen-tral District Engineer Kevin Magee said.

“We might be able to see 465 by next Friday,” Magee said.

Grand Station Casino, for-merly Horizon, opened today and has a three-day grand opening weekend of cash and prize giveaways lined up for June 10-12, a release said this

morning. A reopening had been planned for mid-May.

About 350 employees will staff the Mulberry Street facil-ity, which plans a fine dining venue and a sports bar. The casino had closed in March for renovations.

DiamondJacks Casino closed May 9 due to high water and hasn’t announced a reopening date. Rainbow Casino closed for nearly two weeks, then reopened Friday. Ameristar and Riverwalk built temporary floodwalls and have been open for business throughout the flood.

The Mississippi River was 51.6 feet at Vicksburg this morning, down six-tenths of a foot from Wednesday. Levels have fallen about half a foot a day for a week.

North of Vicksburg, the river has recorded slight rises, but the National Weather Ser-vice said Vicksburg and other points south are not expected to record rises before the river falls below flood stage.

In Memphis, where the year’s high crest on May 10 was 48 feet, 14 feet above flood stage, another crest is expected Tues-day. It is forecast for 31 feet, 3 feet below flood stage.

Downriver, including at Vicksburg, stages aren’t expected to drop below flood stage until mid-June.

“We’re not going to get a second crest around here,” said Marty Pope, senior service hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson. “We’ll continue to see it fall-ing out, with less flows coming

in from the Upper Mississippi than thought.”

The river side of the Steele Bayou Control Structure was 100.5 feet this morning, down six-tenths of a foot. The land side was 89.94 feet, down one-hundredth of a foot.

Emergency declarations issued May 2 by Vicksburg and Warren County will continue. The Board of Mayor and Alder-men renewed one Wednesday and the Board of Supervisors will follow suit Monday.

During a state of emer-gency, local governments may be reimbursed by the Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency for such disaster-re-lated costs as debris cleanup and overtime pay. It also enables decisions without a formal public meeting.

DEATHS

Warren Central Junior High School who was charged as an adult, surren-dered at Vicksburg police headquar-ters and was in the Warren County Jail this morning on a $75,000 bond. Jackson was arrested in Memphis and is being held there for Vicksburg police.

On Wednesday, Vicksburg Municipal Court Judge Nancy Thomas ordered Ransom held without bond because he was on a $15,000 bond for armed robbery at the time of the shooting.

The cases against all three are expected to be presented to the Warren County grand jury that con-venes in October, District Attorney Ricky Smith said. The cases could not be ready for the grand jury that meets in July.

Smith said the grand jury will decide whether to charge Oliver and Jack-son with murder or accessory before the fact.

A conviction on either charge, he said, carries a sentence of life without

parole. Stewart said Banks, Ransom, Oliver,

Jackson and several other people were involved in the dice game.

“Something happened during that game that resulted in someone get-ting upset and starting an argument,” he said.

Police said Ransom was standing on the porch of his home at 1717 Martha St. about 4 p.m. Tuesday when he shot Banks, who was in the street.

Banks was taken to River Region Medical Center, where he was pro-nounced dead at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Stewart said authorities are still looking for the handgun.

Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said Banks died from a single gunshot wound to the chest, but the bullet was not found during the autopsy.

Banks’ death was the second homi-cide reported in Warren County in the past week. It was the third in the city and the sixth overall in the county.

On May 26, Gerald Wayne “Jerry” Allen, 36, 1626 Broadhill Drive, was gunned down as he stepped out of a vehicle on Dillon Ridge Road in north Warren County. His father, Winifred Allen, 64, 2255 Freetown Road, Lot 1, remains in the Warren County Jail on a charge of murder.

Earlier last week, Michael Justin Tornero, 26, of Houston, who was working in Vicksburg, was shot and died in a motel room. His roommate and co-worker, Daniel O’Neil Dodd, 28, Tyler, Texas, was released from the county jail on a $32,000 bond. Police have said they believe the shooting was accidental. Smith said the Dodd case will be presented to the July grand jury.

Another shooting death last week was ruled accidental. Richard “Ricky” Selby, 62, 4747 Bovina Cutoff Road, died as he attempted to take some-thing from the trunk of a vehicle and a loaded gun discharged and hit him in the chest.


4 dead in rare tornadoesthat batter Massachusetts

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The Rev. Bob Marrone was pained to see the steeple of his 137-year-old church shattered and strewn on the grass in the central Massachusetts town of Monson, yet he knows he’s more fortunate than some of his neighbors who lost their homes after tornadoes tore through the state, killing at least four people, damaging buildings, uprooting trees and shattering lives.

“I can see the plywood of roofs, and see houses where most of the house is gone,” said Marrone, pastor of The First Church of Monson. “The road that runs up in front of my house ... There’s so many trees down, it’s completely impassable.”

Residents of 19 small com-munities in central and west-ern Massachusetts were left to deal with widespread damage today, one day after at least two late-afternoon tornadoes shocked emergency officials and residents more accus-tomed to dealing with snow and bone-chilling cold than funnel clouds spawned by spring storms.

Gov. Deval Patrick told ABC’s “Good Morning Amer-ica” today that considering how quickly the tornadoes formed, he feels fortunate there weren’t more fatalities.

“When I spoke with the mayor of Springfield yester-

day, he told me they had about ten minutes’ warning,” Pat-rick said.

“When you consider how quickly the tornadoes devel-oped and then touched down, the fact that there wasn’t even greater damage and loss of life is a remarkable thing.”

The state normally averages about two tornadoes per year, with the last lethal twister in 1995.

“It was obviously an incredi-ble surprise ... we’d been moni-

toring the weather all day and by early afternoon nobody was overly concerned ... but by late afternoon some storm clouds started to appear,” spawning tornadoes that battered sev-eral towns, said Peter Judge of the Massachusetts Emer-gency Management Agency.

“Getting severe thunder-storms is not very unusual for a late afternoon at this time of the year, but damaging tor-nadoes in heavily populated areas are rare,” Judge said.

U.S.-Pakistan formanti-terror squad

WASHINGTON — Bruised from their latest diplomatic clash, the U.S. and Pakistan are trying to bandage their relationship by forging a new joint intelligence team to go after top terrorism suspects, officials say.

The move comes after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton presented the Pakistanis with the U.S. list of most wanted terrorism targets, U.S. and Pakistani officials said Wednesday. The list includes some groups the Pakistanis have been reluc-tant to attack, U.S. officials said.

It’s one of a host of confi-dence-building measures meant to restore trust blown on both sides after U.S. forces tracked down and killed al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden during a secret raid in Pakistan last month.

Ex-bin Laden cohortcaptured, NATO says

KABUL, Afghanistan — NATO said today it captured a senior al-Qaida opera-tive and former Osama bin Laden associate in northern Afghanistan.

NATO said the man was based in Pakistan and was a former associate of bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. raid in Pakistan on May 2. NATO also said the cap-tured man may have been with the al-Qaida leader in 2001.

NATO did not release the detainee’s name nor other details except to say he was captured Wednesday during an operation in Nahri Shahi, in northern Balkh province.

15 killed in clashesin Syrian town

BEIRUT — At least 15 people were killed today, activists said, after Syrian government troops pounded a central town with artillery and gunfire.

The Local Coordination Committees, which help organize and document the country’s protests, said the deaths occurred in Rastan. At least 58 people have been killed in the town in the past three days.

The army has been con-ducting military operations in Rastan and nearby towns in the central province of Homs since Saturday.

The Mississippi Braves’ summer of discontent is only getting worse as the temperatures rise.

The Mobile BayBears plated eight runs in an ugly ninth inning to take a 12-3 victory over the M-Braves on Wednesday at Trustmark Park.

The M-Braves dropped their sixth game in a row.

Mobile right-hander Wes Roemer (4-1) earned the win. He gave up two earned runs on eight hits and a homer while strik-ing out five M-Braves in 62⁄3 innings of work.

Mobile took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. A.J. Pollock tripled and scored on a Paul Gold-schmidt single. Gold-schmidt then stole sec-ond and scored on a Taylor Harbin single to right field.

Cory Harrilchak dou-bled to plate Ernesto Mejia in the bottom of the second, making it a 2-1 game. Harrilchak’s hit also broke a six game, 0-for-18 drought.

Tyler Pastornicky de-posited one into the M-Braves bullpen to tie the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the third. The home run was his fifth of the season.

Mobile took a 3-2 lead on a bases-loaded sacri-fice fly by Alfredo Marté in the top of the sixth be-fore adding an insurance run in the eighth on a Ja-cob Elmore RBI single.

Shaquille O’Neal calls it quitsBy The Associated Press

BOSTON — He was a pro-lific producer of rebounds and record albums. And nick-names, too, as if at 7-foot-1 and 350 pounds he was too big for the simple “Shaq” that made him an instantly recog-nizable, one-name star in all of his endeavors.

Shaquille O’Neal had more than 28,000 points and almost 4 million Twitter fol-lowers. He appeared in six NBA finals, three times as the MVP, and seven feature films, twice in a starring role.

A 15-time All-Star, four-time champion and the 2000

NBA Most Valuable Player, the 39-year-old O’Neal announced his retirement on Twitter on Wednesday after spending most of his 19th season on the Boston Celt-ics bench, in street clothes because of leg injuries.

Along with a mid-after-noon tweet saying, “im retir-ing,” O’Neal included a link to a 16-second video of him saying, “We did it; 19 years,

baby. Thank you very much. That’s why I’m telling you first: I’m about to retire. Love you. Talk to you soon.”

An inveterate prankster who gave himself a new nick-name — or several — in each of his six NBA cities, O’Neal did not notify his latest team, leaving it wondering about his plans. He played just 37 games this season, the first of a two-year deal at the veter-an’s minimum salary, making just three brief appearances after Feb. 1.

“He’s a giant,” commis-sioner David Stern said Wednesday at the NBA finals in Miami.

Braves prepare for NCAA journeySWAC champions brace for host Rice in Houston Regional opener FridayBy Jeff [email protected]

LORMAN — Second-year Alcorn State baseball coach Barret Ray has spent the last couple of days getting his Braves to believe that anything is possible with the team’s first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Ray has gone as far as com-paring the Braves to a young Cassius Clay when he fought Sonny Liston for the heavy-

weight championship in 1964. Alcorn State’s foe, Conference USA champion Rice, will be the favorite Friday night at 6 at the Houston Regional at Reckling Park. Baylor (29-26) meets California (31-20) in the regional opener at 3 p.m.

“No one is giving us a chance,” Ray said. “Just like they didn’t give Cassius Clay a chance against Liston. Well, I’ve tried to get my

CowbellvotecomingFridayFrom staff reports

Mississippi State will have to wait until Friday to find out if it can keep its cowbells.

A vote of SEC athletic directors and coaches at the SEC spring meetings in Destin, Fla. Wednesday extended last year’s com-promise, but the matter will be decided by a vote of SEC presidents and chancellors on Friday.

The athletic directors voted initially 10-2 to ban the cowbells, but after league coaches voted to keep them, the athletic directors voted again in favor of extending last year’s compromise.

A year ago, the confer-ence adopted a change that laid out guidelines for when fans could ring bells at Davis-Wade Stadium.

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen’s empas-sioned plea to league coaches helped push a yes vote across the goal line.

“When I arrived at Mis-sissippi State a couple of years ago, the cowbell was sort of an amusing thing to me,” Mullen said. “That all changed when I learned the symbolism and tradition of it.”

Jim Tressel at Ohio State is an easy example of the cor-ruption of big-time college athletics.

Like Richard Nixon, the question of “what did he know when” will be the albatross around his legacy at Ohio State. He won’t be remembered for the 2002 BCS national championship or his teams’ dominance of the Big Ten.

Tressel will be remem-bered for the man whose thumbprints as captain of the Buckeye ship are all over a grounding on the rocks of the NCAA enforcement apparatus.

But forgotten in all of the talk of tattoo parlors, $100 handshakes (that number likely has gone up due to inflation) and sweetheart leasing deals for used cars is why we are at this point right now.

In quick answers, it is all about the dollars.

The NCAA rule book is thicker than the Earth’s crust and has more line items writ-ten by an industry of law-yers. It covers everything except the latest technology (see conference, video). It is so expansive that it requires a compliance department in each of the member schools to make sure that everyone plays by the rules. Or at least the rules that are in force at that particular moment. Many NCAA violations are

not committed by unscrupu-lous boosters trying to buy the next five-star prospect’s signature, but through simple ignorance of the rules.

Ignorance isn’t a defense, but when the big-time schools have the money to afford folks to keep the pro-gram running within the rules and yours doesn’t, that constitutes an unfair advantage.

Big-time college athletics is a fan-driven enterprise. Judg-ing by the huge TV deals signed by the BCS confer-ences, it’s a demand that the market will have to satisfy. It’s either that or they can air some more “Two and a Half Men” re-runs.

And to quote former star Charlie Sheen, that isn’t winning.

It means the conferences have more money from the networks thanks to increased advertising revenue. It means

the member schools want to win big to bring even more dollars through ticket sales, donations, merchandise sales and other fund-raising streams that go straight to the athletic departments.

It means bigger stadi-ums, bigger screens, bigger coaches’ salaries and bigger luxury suites.

When the money involved shoots upward from the out-house level to the penthouse, the pressure to win becomes even more intense. Coaches have to justify those multimil-lion-dollar salaries with vic-tories and championships.

The pool of big-time dif-ference-making prospects is shrinking as stricter aca-demic standards have made it tougher to qualify to suit up.

The temptation to cheat is one that can’t be ignored. Run a program by the rules, lose, and you’re fired. A more

logical solution is cheating a bit, getting away with it for a time and popping your golden parachute severance package on your way out of the door.

If not for the money brought in thanks to rabid fan inter-est, college athletics would be like Division III. Divi-sion III has no scholarships, small-time budgets and scant national interest.

It is a binary proposition. Do and accept money’s influ-ence as college athletics becomes nothing more than a money-making machine and a farm system for the NFL or NBA. Or do not and watch interest and money wither away.

It is as simple as that.•

TeNNisNadal reaches FrenchOpen semifinals again

PARIS — Five-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal reached the semifinals and improved his career record at Roland Garros to 43-1 with a clean-as-can-be 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (3) victory over the only man he’s ever lost to there, two-time runner-up Robin Soderling.

On Friday, the top-seeded Nadal will take on No. 4 Andy Murray, who became only the third Brit-ish man in the past 70 years to reach the French Open semifinals by beating unseeded Juan Igna-cio Chela of Argentina 7-6 (2), 7-5, 6-2. Murray’s been playing with a torn tendon in his right ankle since twisting it in the third round, and he trailed Chela 4-1, then 5-3, before saving two set points and turning the match around.

The other men’s semifinal is No. 2 Novak Djokovic, who is 41-0 in 2011 and has won 43 consecu-tive matches overall, against No. 3 Roger Federer, owner of a record 16 Grand Slam titles.

cYcliNgLab informs fedsof Armstrong results

LOS ANGELES — The director of the Swiss anti-doping labora-tory informed federal authorities last fall that Lance Armstrong’s test results from the 2001 Tour de Suisse were “suspicious” and “con-sistent with EPO use,” The Associ-ated Press has learned.

Martial Saugy made the state-ment in September, according to a person familiar with the investiga-tion, who spoke on condition of ano-nymity because he was not autho-rized to speak publicly about the case.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The NCAA is interested in Ohio State quar-terback Terrelle Pryor’s cars. The state of Ohio says he shouldn’t be driving one. Pryor was seen driv-ing a sports car to a team meeting on Monday hours after coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation, even though his Ohio driving privileges have been suspended.

Braves sweat out win over PadresATLANTA (AP) —

Tommy Hanson wasn’t fazed by the heat.

Well, except for all the changing.

“I went through three jerseys and three hats,” Hanson said. “I was drenched.”

He also was a winner, going six strong innings on the sweltering night to lead the Atlanta Braves past San Diego 4-3 Wednesday and prevent the Padres from sweeping the series.

Freddie Freeman drove in two runs, Martin Prado homered and center fielder Jordan Schafer made an outstanding catch for the final out, crashing into the wall but holding on.

“He made a nice play. He kept after it with good speed. No tentativeness,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “Once he reached the track he knew what was at stake. He didn’t even shy away from the wall and made a hell of a play.”

The temperature was 94 degrees at the first pitch and didn’t get much cooler.

“It was really hot out there,” Hanson (6-4) said. “But this is my third year pitching here. I’m used to it. You know it’s going to be hot.”

He allowed just three hits, giving up both runs on Kyle Phillips’ homer in the second. Three reliev-

ers finished up, with Craig Kimbrel working the ninth for his 16th save in 20 chances — getting a big assist from Schafer.

Kimbrel struck out two before giving up a single. Logan Forsythe followed with a drive to deep right-center that looked as though it might at least bring in the tying run, but Schafer reached up to haul it in before he slammed into wall and tumbled backward.

The Braves snapped San Diego’s season-high four-game winning streak, which included a pair of one-runs victories over

Atlanta to start the series. The Padres couldn’t finish off their first three-game sweep at Turner Field since the park opened in 1997.

“That was a good way to finish it after the last couple of nights,” said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, shaking his head after the team’s fifth straight one-run game.

Clayton Richard (2-6) took the loss. He had baserunners all over the place, allowing eight hits and walking four in 42⁄3 innings. Finally, with two more Braves aboard, Pat Neshek came on to retire Joe Mather on a grounder.

guys to buy in that we’re Clay and we’re going to ‘shock the world.’”

Rice (41-17) comes in with excellent credentials. The Owls are the eighth national seed in the 64-team field. Alcorn State (27-28) got into the field by win-ning the Southwestern Athletic Conference title on May 22 in Shreveport.

It was the school’s first SWAC Tournament championship.

For senior Brandon Hollins of Yazoo County, making into the NCAA Tournament was a dream come true.

“It means a lot to do this for Alcorn State University,” Hol-lins said. “We’re very excited to get an opportunity to play in a NCAA Regional and represent the SWAC.”

Ray, meanwhile, has tried to get his team to focus more on the task at hand and not rest on its laurels.

“Let’s go and compete,” Ray said. “Rice is probably going to throw their No. 3 against us, thinking he can get by us and then they can save the No. 1 for either Baylor or Cal. But I feel we have the team that can make a mark. I was an assistant at Southern University in 2003, when we beat Southern Miss in the opening game of that regional. In 2004, Texas South-ern beat Rice in that regional. It can be done.”

Hollins will be a key figure. The speedy centerfielder ranks second in the nation with 37

stolen bases. “I know I have to be the spark

plug for the team,” Hollins said. “I’ve got to get on base and set up things for our (No.) 2 and 3 guys. We basically know Rice is going to be well-coached with pretty good position players and good hitters. But I think the schedule Coach Ray handed us this year helped us. We played 13 ranked teams this year.”

Ray said a good non-confer-ence schedule was instrumen-tal in getting the Braves primed for the SWAC Tournament. Alcorn State played at Alabama in a three-game set to open the season, and then followed it up with road games at Southern Miss, Mississippi State, LSU and Wichita State. The Braves capped it with a three-game trip to Arizona on May 6-8.

“I felt like this year, I had a team that could get it done and I didn’t want them to be afraid to play the bigger schools,” Ray said. “That’s why I scheduled it this way, so that we could get over that hump. No matter who we played, Southern Miss, Mississippi State, Arizona or Tulane, I thought we competed well with everybody.”

When the Braves got to Shreveport for the SWAC Tour-nament, they were ready. They won all four games using a big offense in the final three to put up at least 12 runs. They smashed Southern 12-6 in the title game.

Kilby Perdomo was named the tournament’s MVP. The senior from the Dominican Republic leads the Braves with a .357 average, 10 home runs, 48 runs scored and 49 RBIs.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-old girl and do a lot of baby-sitting. I wonder what you think about the baby sitter falling asleep after the kids are sleeping. — Meghan, Palm Springs, Calif.

Meghan: I think it’s OK if the sitter falls asleep after the children are sleeping, espe-cially if the parents are going to be out past midnight. After all, the parents don’t stay up all night watching their off-spring.

‘Sully’ ready for new CBS News gigNEW YORK (AP) — Retired

pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullen-berger expects a lot more from his new job at CBS News than waiting for a plane to crash so he can be a talking head.

Sullenberger, who became a national hero two years ago when he landed a crippled U.S. Airways jet in the Hudson River and saved 155 lives, starts in June as the network’s on-air aviation and safety expert. He wants to keep a close eye on the industry where he worked for decades.

“We can’t assume that because aviation has contin-ued to get safer — accidents are relatively rare now — that we’re doing everything right,” said Sullenberger, who retired last year as an active pilot. “We have to keep actively looking for continuous improvements, looking for systemic deficien-cies and fixing them, and not just blaming individuals when there are systemic issues out there.”

Recent sto-ries about sleeping air traffic control-lers should be a warning for the industry, he said.

I f sched-ules continue to be built for

controllers, pilots, mechan-ics, stewardesses that ignore the body’s need for sleep and recovery time, “then ulti-mately we’re going to create situations where the system will fail.”

Since retiring as an active pilot last year, Sullenberger has kept busy with public speaking, consulting and writing. He’s working on his second book, on leadership; his first, a memoir titled “High-est Duty: My Search for What Really Matters,” came out last year.

His relationship with CBS News developed after giving a

“60 Minutes” interview about U.S. Airways Flight 1549 when the show’s executive producer, and now CBS News chairman, Jeff Fager visited his northern California home. Hiring Sul-lenberger was a coup for CBS, which announced it to cheers at a recent meeting with its affiliated stations.

“There is no more recogniz-able figure when it comes to something we care a lot about — aviation safety — than Sully,” said CBS News Presi-dent David Rhodes.

Sullenberger said he could not have imagined all the things made possible in his life by the events of Jan. 15, 2009.

“While the event was cer-tainly traumatic for those of us involved, it ultimately was the source for a lot of wonder-ful opportunities,” he said.

Adele postpones dates due to laryngitisBritish singer Adele has postponed five dates on her tour of

North America due to laryngitis. Columbia Records said in a statement Monday the 23-year-old

Grammy winner was diagnosed last Thursday in Minneapolis, where doctors ordered immediate rest. Her show was canceled and rescheduled for June 22.

She performed in Denver on Saturday, but her show in Salt Lake City on Sunday was canceled at the last minute “when her illness worsened.”

The tour will resume Saturday in San Francisco.Performances in Seattle, Portland, Ore., and

Vancouver, British Columbia, were also post-poned and will be rescheduled.

Adele’s new album, “21,” has been at the top of the music charts in the U.S.

John urges saving Fla. HIV/AIDS fundingSinger Elton John is urging Florida Gov. Rick Scott to protect a

program that helps low-income HIV/AIDS patients get medica-tion needed to control the virus.

John, founder of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, wrote to Scott Tuesday after hearing the Department of Health was con-sidering changes in income eligibility.

A department spokeswoman said there are no plans to change the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, though it held hear-ings to discuss the possibility of lowering income requirements to participate.

In their letter, John and foundation Chairman David Furnish say lowering income eligibility could mean 1,600 people will no longer get help obtaining antiretroviral medication.

Balloon boy parents to sell balloonThe former Colorado couple who told authorities their son

floated away in a helium balloon have made a video saying they’ll auction off the inflatable to raise money for Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief.

TMZ.com posted the video in which Richard and Mayumi Heene said they’ll work with California lawyer Perry Rausher on the auction. Rausher confirmed to the Coloradoan he is work-ing with the Heenes.

The Heenes’ son wasn’t inside the balloon when it floated away in 2009. Mayumi Heene served 20 days in jail for filing a false report. Richard Heene served 30 days in jail for a felony count of attempting to influence a public servant. Terms of their probation say they can’t profit from their story until 2013.

Dad’s homework help gets passing gradeDear Abby: I’m writing

regarding the letter from “Not Fooled in Michigan” (April 22), who expressed concern about her fiance’s daughter’s reliance on him to proofread her college papers. As a teacher, I know when I assign a paper that the spelling and grammar will likely be checked by a computer or a person other than a student. Whether it’s the campus proofreading ser-vice or a parent is immate-rial. Would Fooled have the same “ethical” objections if “Kimberly” were using the campus office to provide the same service?

What matters is the con-tent of her essays, which the girl is apparently writ-ing by herself — and inciden-tally, completing in enough time to send them to a proof-reader and await a response. That suggests a more devel-oped sense of responsibility than is common among my students.

I see no ethical dilemma here, and I find it disingenu-ous of Not Fooled to suggest otherwise. As for Kimber-ly’s “unhealthy” reliance on her dad, the aforementioned campus services are, in my experience, generally staffed

with underpaid undergradu-ates or overworked teaching assistants. If her dad has the knowledge and time to assist her, I see nothing wrong with her asking for his help. That’s not over-reliance on a parent. It’s choosing the best of one’s available options. — Texas Teacher Who Knows

Dear Teacher: Thank you for writing. I received a huge number of responses to that letter — from teachers, par-ents and students alike. Read on:

Dear Abby: The fiancee needs to determine which class the papers are for before calling foul. If it’s a composi-tion class in which the stu-dent is graded on spelling and grammar, then no, Dad shouldn’t fix them, but he can advise.

It’s called being a parent, and Not Fooled better become accustomed to the idea of sharing his attention.

If it’s something like a his-tory class, editing assistance shouldn’t be a problem. All good writers have editors to help with mechanics because after looking at a piece for too long, you no longer see the errors. — Cyndi in Ohio

Dear Abby: As a college student, I frequently read papers by students whose grammar training was less rigorous than mine. The uni-versity does not consider that cheating, and we are advised by our professors to do so. It is not their job to teach us grammar. They are trying to teach their material.

Not Fooled needs to relax, get a better understanding of today’s university system, and learn to trust her future stepdaughter while encourag-ing parent-child communica-tion. — Hannah in Chicago

Dear Abby: I’m a 43-year-old college student. I always send my siblings my essays before I turn them in, not just to proofread, but for their opinions of my writing. I would bet this is why the daughter sends her work to her father.

My daughter is still in high school, but I hope she con-tinues to seek my opinion on her essays in the future. It

has prompted many valuable and intriguing discussions, some of which have helped us to understand each other better as she transitions to adulthood. There’s nothing “unhealthy” about an 18-to-22-year-old college student asking her dad to help with a paper. What’s unhealthy is a future stepmom taking issue with it. It appears she has some underlying jealousy. — Mom Graduating with Her Kid

Dear Abby: Perhaps the daughter is simply making her father feel useful by including him in her life with this simple act. His fiancee should become more involved in the parenting process if she intends to stick her nose there.

I can think of worse situa-tions than this example of a parent being a parent. I wish there were more dads like him. — Rachel in Southwest Georgia

DEAR ABBY

Anxiety meds can be habit formingDear Dr. Gott: My mother

is 74 years old and has been taking lorazepam 0.5 milli-grams nightly to help her sleep for almost two months. She would like to continue taking it but is concerned about the side effects. She prefers this medication over the other brand-name sleep-ing pills.

Should she try to go with-out for a few days to see if she has become dependent? She doesn’t want to skip it for fear she won’t be able to sleep. Please advise, and thank you in advance.

Dear Reader: Lorazepam is one in a group of drugs known as benzodiazepines and is commonly taken to treat anx-iety and symptoms of depres-sion. As with most drugs, it can also be used for other con-ditions, such as sleeplessness, as determined by a personal physician.

Side effects are linked with dosing used but can include drowsiness, headache, weak-ness, unsteadiness and diz-ziness. Less common effects

can include allergic reactions including hives and rash, diffi-culty breathing, memory loss and mental changes. Paradoxi-cal reactions can include sleep disturbances, insomnia, hallu-cinations, hypotension and a great deal more. When para-doxical reactions occur, use of the drug should cease.

The strength of each tablet is between 0.5 milligrams and 2 milligrams. Studies per-formed on healthy volunteers reveal single high doses have a tranquilizing effect on the central nervous system, with no appreciable effect on either the cardiovascular or respira-tory systems. Long-term use of more than four months has not been assessed by clinical studies, but it is known that continued use of benzodiaz-

epines might lead to physical and psychological dependence. The potential for dependence is greatly reduced, however, with short-term treatment (between two to four weeks). Long-term use of this product is not recommended. There-fore, re-evaluation by a physi-cian is necessary. Withdrawal has been known to present following cessation of recom-mended doses following as little as seven days of therapy.

Lorazepam should be used cautiously in patients with such conditions as COPD, sleep apnea, or renal and hepatic impairment.
