Two con- tributions marked as corporate donors were from The Duff Green Mansion operator Harry Sharp and from Greenlawn Gardens Cemetery, at $250 each. Each was dated after the reporting period ended. One $2,500 contribution was listed as an “envelope in my door” from an anonymous donor. More than $6,000 was spent on print advertising and paying campaign work- ers, the report shows. Mis- sissippi law mandates full disclosure of contributions of more than $200. Reports on campaign cash were received by 20 of 38 can- didates in contested races for chancery clerk, circuit clerk, sheriff, tax assessor, tax col- lector and five county super- visor seats, according to the circuit clerk’s office.

closure of 61 North moved up until today

By Danny Barrett [email protected]

U.S. 61 will close today on both sides of the Yazoo River bridge as water approaches the road. Sep-arately, Warren County ordered the evacuation of about 400 residents on the north and south ends of the highway in the county as the water was predicted to flood the road by the weekend.

Water this morning was quickly climbing toward 61 near its intersection with Mississippi 465 and Missis-sippi 3, said Kevin Magee, Central District Engineer for the Mississippi Depart-ment of Transportation.

“We expect it to be under by tonight,” Magee said.

U.S. 61 South at the Big Black River was expected to close by Saturday, which will cut off north-south access to and from Vicks-burg on U.S. 61. Parts of Mississippi 3 in Redwood were expected to close Sunday. Traffic alerts were planned on Interstate 20 out of Jackson and in north-east Louisiana to warn motorists.

The U.S. 61 closures at 465 and 3 had been expected for the weekend, but they were moved up as the river encroached more quickly than had been predicted.

Supervisor candidate Reul tops in collections, spendingBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

A political novice running for supervisor in District 2 leads the money chase in the first round of cam-paign finance reports filed in county and district races.

De Reul, a Missouri trans-plant, reported raising $8,270.80 on required spend-ing and fundraising reports. All was spent and no cash remains on hand, accord-

ing to totals submitted by Tuesday’s deadline for campaign activity from Jan. 1 through April 30. Two con-

tributions marked as corporate donors were from The Duff Green Mansion operator Harry Sharp and from Greenlawn

Gardens Cemetery, at $250 each. Each was dated after the reporting period ended. One $2,500 contribution was listed as an “envelope in my door” from an anonymous donor. More than $6,000 was spent on print advertising and paying campaign work-ers, the report shows. Mis-sissippi law mandates full disclosure of contributions of more than $200.

Reports on campaign cash were received by 20 of 38 can-

didates in contested races for chancery clerk, circuit clerk, sheriff, tax assessor, tax col-lector and five county super-visor seats, according to the circuit clerk’s office. Nine incumbents are unopposed. The primary is Aug. 2 and the general election is Nov. 7.

Reul is an independent in the race for the north Vicks-burg seat on the Board of Supervisors. Incumbent Wil-liam Banks, a Democrat, is opposed in the primary by

city zoning board member Tommie Rawlings. Banks reported $300 raised and $125 cash left on hand. Republi-can Trey Smith reported no money spent or raised. No report was received from Rawlings.

No reports were received from Sheriff Martin Pace or challenger Bubba Comans, who filed for sheriff as a Democrat.

Historical parks, cemeterybelieved safe from waterBy Pamela [email protected]

Flood waters began to creep across areas of North Washington Street Wednes-day afternoon, but low-lying graves of vet-erans buried in the National Cemetery just feet from the old truck and business route are not expected to be threat-ened, Vicksburg National Military Park Superin-tendent Mike Madell said.

The lowest point of the cemetery sits behind a brick wall on a slight rise above the road, across and just south of Ander-

son Tully Lumber. “If the water does not

get any higher than what they are predict-ing, based on inundation models, we would not

expect it to get to the wall,” Madell said. “They seem to be holding to that 57.5 foot prediction so we are pretty confident now

the flood won’t affect the cemetery.”

The 116-acre national cemetery, one of the larg-est Civil War burial sites in the United States, was established by Con-gress in 1866 and con-tains 17,000 Union Civil

Winfield tells state union rep he’s not opposedBy Manivanh [email protected]

Vicksburg Mayor Paul Win-field told labor union represen-tative Brenda Scott on Wednes-day he is not opposed to city workers forming a union.

“My role is best to be neutral, but open,” Winfield said. “As it pertains to the employees, we have always tried to promote fairness.”

Scott, presi-dent of Jack-son-based Mississippi Alliance of State Employ-ees, and her organization are attempt-

ing for the third time to

establish a labor union for the City of Vicksburg employees.

The first two attempts were unsuccessful due to waning employee interest, she said

Scott has been rallying city employees since April 2010 in the “interest phase,” sign-ing up about 125 interested employees.

MASE’s next step is to gain recognition from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, after which it can begin signing up union members.

“I can wish you guys speed in terms of coordinating, but you’re not going to get a nega-tive word from me,” Winfield told Scott and her two fellow union representatives.

North Ward Alderman Michael Mayfield has not met with the representatives, but said he also would not oppose the formation of unions.

“I don’t particularly have a problem with a union,” he

said, “but I would need to find out more information.”

South Ward Alderman Sid Beauman, who refused to meet with union representatives, said he opposes unions.

“I don’t think public employ-ees should be involved in unions,” he said. “I think public employees have a dif-ferent situation. These people are working for the public, not for the union.”

Woman shot in foot during argument;suspect sought

A shooting Wednes-day night on Hill Street is believed to have been accidental but has police searching for a Vicksburg man for questioning.

Jeffery Wildee, 23, 2940 Park St., is believed to have shot his mother, Janice Wildee, 53, 610 Hill St., in the foot around 10:20 p.m., said police Sgt. Sandra Williams.

Jeffery Wildee was reportedly involved in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend outside the Hill Street home, Williams said.

Janice Wildee was shot when she attempted to intervene, Williams said.

By the time police arrived, Jeffery Wildee had left the scene in a 1998 blue Ford Ranger pickup with Missis-sippi tag number WB2942, said the sergeant.

Janice Wildee was taken to River Region Medical Center, where she was in good condition this morn-ing, said spokesman Allen Karel.

Shoes, purse, clothestaken from car

An Arizona vehicle was burglarized at a Vicksburg motel Wednesday, police Sgt. Sandra Williams said today.

The 2007 Lexus was parked at the Fairfield Inn, 20 Orme Drive, off Pem-berton Square Boulevard, when the burglary was reported at 7:07 a.m.

Stolen were four pairs of tennis shoes valued at $250, a bag of medication valued at $500, a bag of clothes valued at $750 and a leather purse valued at $35.

Williams said a window was also broken in the Lexus.

LSU protesters stop planned flag burningBATON ROUGE — A

planned American flag burn-ing at LSU ended before it started when about 1,000 LSU students and other protesters forced police to intervene.

LSU graduate student Ben-jamin Haas had originally planned to burn an American flag Wednesday to promote his First Amendment rights and to support an LSU stu-dent arrested last week for stealing and burning a flag.

When Haas finally arrived to a chaotic scene, he was surrounded by a large crowd yelling obscenities and chanting, “U-S-A” and “Go to hell hippie, go to hell.”

Water balloons and bot-tles were thrown at him and, before Haas could speak, horse-mounted police escorted him out for his own safety to a police car on

Highland Road as the crowd followed and he was driven off.

He was not arrested.

Columbia man shotto death after chase

COLUMBIA, Miss. — A Columbia man has died in a shootout with Marion County sheriff’s deputies after a high-speed chase.

The sheriff’s department said in a statement Columbia police officers were trying to pull over Howard Earl Polk Jr. and serve a felony arrest warrant to him at about 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Polk didn’t stop driving and the pursuit was picked up by Marion County deputies on Mississippi 13 north at the intersection of Mississippi 35.

The statement said Polk slammed on his brakes and a deputy rear-ended his vehi-cle. Polk and the deputies then exchanged gunfire and Polk was killed.

Petal revisesvicious dog ordinance

PETAL, Miss. — The city of Petal has revised an ordi-nance to make it unlawful for any dog to run wild within the city limits, and it will be unlawful for a person to keep or maintain any dog that has been determined vicious.

Aldermen approved the change on Wednesday. It took effect immediately.

After a pit bull bit a woman in April, Mayor Hal Marx said the previous ordinance gave no recourse of action for animals that attacked other animals or humans.

Corinth nurse chargedwith prescription fraud

CORINTH, Miss. — A Corinth nurse has been indicted by a grand jury on three counts prescription fraud.

The attorney gener-al’s office said 38-year-old Rebecca Johnson has been released on $5,000 bond after the indictment this week. No trial date has been scheduled.

The attorney gener-al’s office said the crimes occurred while Johnson was employed as a licensed prac-tical nurse at a care facil-ity in Corinth. Authorities said Johnson stole patient’s duragesic patches from a nearby facility and was using them herself.

Ban on fake bath salts headed to House for debateBATON ROUGE — Dan-

gerous chemicals sold as bath salts with names like White Lightning, White Lady and Red Dove would be banned under Louisiana law, if legislators agree to a pro-posal that received the back-ing Wednesday of the House Criminal Justice Committee.

People snort the pow-

ders as stimulants like cocaine, and they can cause extreme paranoia, hallucina-tions, delusions, hyperten-sion, chest pain and suicidal thoughts. Law enforcement officials say several people have killed themselves after

sniffing one of the powders. The products have been sold at convenience stores, at head shops and over the Internet.

Gov. Bobby Jindal outlawed a half-dozen chemicals sold as fake bath salts and plant

food in a January executive order, but prosecutors have said they were hesitant to issue criminal charges under the executive order.

Panel OKs drug testof welfare recipients

A bill to require drug test-

ing of welfare recipients who get cash benefits is headed to the House floor.

The House Health and Wel-fare committee voted 12-2 Wednesday to advance Rep. John LaBruzzo’s bill, which has repeatedly failed before the full Legislature. LaBru-zzo, R-Metairie, said the bill could help poor, addicted

mothers get treatment.The proposal would require

at least 20 percent of people who receive welfare benefits to submit to tests.

State officials say the pro-posal might violate the con-stitution by requiring search and seizure without probable cause, and is unnecessary.

‘GranddadBandit’sentencedto 25 years

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The graying, balding bank robber who was dubbed the “Grand-dad Bandit” as he patiently held up more than two dozen banks in 13 states was sen-tenced Wednesday to 25 years in prison.

Michael Francis Mara, 53, didn’t address the court during his brief sentencing before U.S. District Judge James Spen-cer. He pleaded guilty in Febru-ary to robbing two Richmond-area banks and admitted to 25 heists f r o m Ne w York to Texas from 2008 until his capture last summer.

Mara also must pay back the more than $83,000 he stole during the 20-month spree, in which he entered banks with-out a disguise, calmly gave tellers letters requesting a few thousand dollars and eluded capture.

Prosecutors portrayed Mara as a dual character: a socially awkward, mentally depressed man who longed to be an emer-gency worker, and also a con-niving career criminal who has been in and out of prisons since he was 18.

AfTer The sTorMNo single answer to housing for tornado victims

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Thousands of Southern-ers who lost everything last month to a pack of killer twist-ers will need new homes after they move out of shelters and relatives’ spare bedrooms, but the types of housing they find will vary widely depending on where they live.

The communities that caught the brunt of the tornadoes range from rural crossroads in Mississippi to midsized Alabama cities like Tusca-loosa and Huntsville. Places like Smithville, Miss., had few rental houses or apartments to begin with; hard-hit Birming-ham has a much larger stock that’s ready for almost imme-diate occupancy.

Unlike after Hurricane Katrina, when crews set up thousands of nearly identical campers provided by the Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency all over coastal Missis-sippi and southern Louisiana, officials say different areas hit by the tornadoes will require varying solutions.

“To say one is going to fit all doesn’t work,” FEMA deputy administrator Richard Serino said during a stop last week in Alabama. “It’s going to require different options.”

Singlewide mobile homes already are parked in the northwest Alabama town of Phil Campbell, which was slammed hard and had little spare housing to begin with. The city of Tuscaloosa, mean-

while, doesn’t allow manufac-tured homes, meaning houses, apartments and new construc-tion are likely to be key.

All across Alabama, state and federal officials already have identified thousands of apartments that are available and could be rented to storm victims.

Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan said the Federal Housing Administration also has located about 1,000 fore-closed homes that could be

available for families to pur-chase with government assis-tance in Alabama, and similar work is going on in Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia, which also were hit in the April 27 outbreak.

Final decisions about long-term housing will be up to local leaders and individuals, Dono-van said, and one size won’t fit all. The government learned that lesson after Katrina, he said.

“This is not about the fed-

eral government coming and telling a community what it should look like. This is about the local vision for the commu-nity with our help and partner-ship in achieving that,” Dono-van said Monday while touring a neighborhood in Birmingham still littered with bricks, over-turned vehicles and splintered rafters. “In some cases that means rebuilding what was there, and in other cases that means coming back and build-ing something new.”

After spending days in a mass shelter in Tuscaloosa where crying babies and snoring adults make it hard to sleep, Claudie Jackson is hoping for a new home to replace the destroyed apartment where he and his wife survived by hiding in a bathtub. Jackson said he now fears mobile homes and campers after seeing what a twister with winds up to 190 mph did to hundreds of houses, and he won’t be comfortable in anything other than a brick house.

“Make them affordable so people can get in them,” said Jackson, 45. “Something in the $500 (a month) range people can afford after they pay their utilities and phone, health insurance and all.”

Living in a small tent in their front yard near the rubble of their home in rural Calhoun County, Janice and Steve Heath aren’t picky.

“I hope I can just get a house,” she said. “Even if we have to move, it really doesn’t matter.”

The National Weather Ser-vice and state emergency offi-cials are still tallying how many homes were destroyed when waves of tornadoes mowed through the South, killing hun-dreds in seven states as entire neighborhoods were wiped out in some areas. Alabama took the hardest hit: The state said 236 people were dead at last count, and 42 of the state’s 67 counties have been approved to receive disaster assistance.

Long-neglected stretch of Culkin Road overdue for repairsI would like to express my con-

cerns and disappointments toward the county supervisor of District 1. This concerns the portion of Culkin Road that runs from the Pecan Ridge intersection to where it ends at Oak Ridge Road in front of Super Jr.

Citizens, school bus drivers and emergency personnel have com-plained about the road conditions, but to no avail. Funds were allo-cated for the proper repair, but as of date, no attempts at such repairs have been made. The ditches are filled with dirt and when it rains, it forces water, mud and debris onto the road making it difficult to drive on.

Needless to say, the condition of the road is beyond the need of repair. If money was allocated for such repairs, I, as well as other citi-zens, demand an explanation as to how the funds were used, because they certainly were not used for the intentions.

There are no lines painted on the road which, especially at night, makes it difficult to travel this area. If something is not done, I believe signs should be placed at the begin-ning and the end of this road that read, “Drive at your own risk.”

If something is not done immedi-

ately, I have all intentions of involv-ing the media, including television. Election time is quickly approach-ing and I am certain that myself and many other citizens in this area will not vote for a county super-visor who has failed miserably in handling this duty.

I have lived in the Oak Ridge com-munity for close to 69 years and have lived in Lake Forest subdivi-

sion for 19 years. This road was first paved in the 1950s and to my knowl-edge has only been repaved one time since. I do not consider patch-ing potholes with asphalt proper repairs.

I am extremely disappointed in the County Supervisor of District 1 and hope he has the audacity to ask for my vote for re-election because he is the last person I would con-sider voting for.

Offer teachers pre-K perkI would like to express my disap-

pointment in the Vicksburg Warren School District when I found out that once again our young teachers with children are missing out on a very important perk. The pre-kin-dergarten program should first be offered to the teachers, which the district has failed to do.

Would it not make more sense to offer this program to district employees first? Not only would this help them but the district also. Once again shame on the Vicks-burg Warren School District for not thinking of its employees.

Tests don’t tell storyThis month, our schools will be

administering the Mississippi Cur-riculum Tests 2. Principals and other educators will wait anxiously for the results. Our schools will be rated and judged on the outcome of these tests. Our teachers have spent the entire year trying to pre-pare their students to perform well.

Schools have used creative meth-ods to help underachieving stu-dents “catch up,” such as tutoring in small groups, special after-school opportunities, even Saturday morn-ing sessions. Rewards have been given to those scoring well on weekly testing.

Unfortunately, little is ever said about the numerous factors that contribute to these test scores, fac-tors over which the schools have no control. A significant number of our school population comes from homes where the child has no regular bedtime, a poor diet, and minimal guidance. There is little encouragement to complete home-work, read, or review for tests each week. Some school children were born with learning disabilities and other physical limitations because before their birth, the mothers

smoked, consumed alcohol, used other drugs, neglected to eat prop-erly or to follow good health habits during the pregnancy.

Numerous children come to school with very limited vocabu-laries, because they have not been read to, have had few meaning-ful conversations while growing up, and did not have academically stimulating home experiences. As a result, these students have great difficulty reading and understand-ing test items.

When test results are published, hopefully everyone will remember that expecting all children to score well is unrealistic and not achiev-able. Judging a school by these test scores is unfair. Parents, extended families, and the entire community share in the responsibility for these children. Dysfunctional homes and the moral decline in our society cannot be corrected in the class-room. Our children are the victims in all this. We all must search our hearts to find ways we can make a difference.

PakistanWashington officials are seek-

ing answers on just how much support Osama bin Laden was receiving from elements of the Pakistani military or intelligence services.

Bin Laden was living in an elab-orate compound in a city only two hours from Pakistan’s capi-tal when he was killed in a raid by U.S. Navy SEALs, an elite commando team. The trick will be getting answers while still maintaining tolerable relations with Pakistan, a key nation in the continuing struggle against terrorism.

Michigan Sen. Carl Levin, a Democrat who heads the Senate Armed Services Committee, said, “It’s hard to imagine the military or police did not have ideas of what was going on inside of (the compound).”

He added, “(T)here’s a lot of

questions that need to be asked” and suggested the Pakistani gov-ernment do the asking.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, chairman of the House Intelli-gence Committee, had similar concerns, but added that main-taining relations with Paki-stan is important since other al-Qaida leaders remain within the country.

It has been clear for some time that Pakistan has been playing a double game — supporting U.S. anti-terrorism efforts, including with the lives of its own soldiers and police officers at the same time that some elements within its intelligence service have pro-tected the terrorists.

Pakistan’s government at first noted that it had been coopera-tive in the weekend American raid but this week issued a state-ment of concern about the viola-

tion of its sovereignty by the raid. The two statements illustrate the balancing act its own government has to perform — not angering the Americans too much but also not appearing too subservient.

The location of bin Laden’s com-pound so deep within Pakistan raises new doubts about Paki-stani sincerity in dealing with terrorism. White House coun-terterrorism adviser John Bren-nan told a news briefing that the U.S. intends to pursue all leads in discovering bin Laden’s enablers within Pakistan.

This will have to be done deli-cately so as not to weaken the Pakistani government. Congress in 2009 adopted a five-year, $7.5 billion aid package for Pakistan. It would be foolish to totally cut off all of the aid, as some in Con-gress are suggesting. But it ought to buy some answers.

U.S. aid should buy answers

Q: Is there a way that people can refi nance their home in their own name after coming out of bankruptcy? Currently, my mortgage is in my mother’s name, but I would like mine on it now as well. I know I will have to build up my credit.

I cur-rently have no out-stand-ing debt other than a few dollars here and

there. I do have one positive credit rating that I just paid off. What can I do to increase my credit score so I can get this accomplished? — Reader, via e-mail

A: Unfortunately, in today’s marketplace lenders are being

much more careful about who mortgages are granted to and their credit history. With your bankruptcy, that is likely the most severe blemish that you will have on a credit history and it takes ordinarily years to do away with. You men-tioned your mortgage is in your mother’s name. In other words, your mother owns a house that you are living in, technically. The only thing that you can do now is to con-tinue to pay everything on time. Your credit score will improve with each positive you have. It may be that you could qualify for a mortgage with your mother’s co-signa-ture, but this presents some liabilities that she may not be willing to take on.

Hit L.A., too, bin Laden writes in his journalWASHINGTON (AP) —

Though hunted and in hiding, Osama bin Laden remained the driving force behind every recent al-Qaida terror plot, U.S. offi cials said, citing his private journal and other documents recovered in last week’s raid.

Until Navy SEALs killed him a week ago, bin Laden dis-

pensed chill-ing advice to the leaders of al-Qaida groups from Ye m e n t o London: Hit Los Angeles, not just New

York, he wrote.

Target trains as well as planes. If possible, strike on signifi-cant dates, such as the Fourth of July and the upcoming 10th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Above all, he urged, kill more Americans in a single attack, to drive them from the Arab world.

Bin Laden’s written words show that counterterrorist offi cials worldwide underesti-mated how key he remained to running the organization, shat-tering the conventional think-ing that he had been reduced through isolation to being an inspirational fi gurehead, U.S. offi cials said Wednesday.

Demjanjuk sentenced to � ve years in prisonfor Nazi camp deaths, released pending appeal

MUNICH (AP) — Retired U.S. autoworker John Dem-janjuk was convicted of thou-sands of counts of acting as an accessory to murder at a Nazi death camp and sen-tenced today to fi ve years in prison, a groundbreaking ver-dict that closed one chapter in a decades-long legal battle.

Judges ordered him released pending appeal.

Demjanjuk was found guilty of 28,060 counts of being an accessory to murder, one for each person who died during the time he was ruled to have been a guard at the Sobi-bor camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Presiding Judge Ralph Alt said the 91-year-old was a piece of the Nazis’ “machin-ery of destruction.”

“The court is convinced that the defendant ... served as a guard at Sobibor from 27 March 1943 to mid Septem-ber 1943,” Alt said, closing a trial that has lasted nearly 18 months.

Demjanjuk sat in a wheel-chair in front of the judges as they announced their verdict, but showed no reaction. He has denied the charges, but declined the opportunity to

make a fi nal statement to the court.

Demjanjuk’s son, John Dem-janjuk Jr., said the defense

would appeal. He asserted that “the Germans have built a house of cards and it will not stand for long.”

NATO strikesLibyan capitalafter Gadha� appears on TV

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — NATO airstrikes struck Moammar Gadhafi ’s sprawl-ing compound in Tripoli and three other sites early today, hours after the Libyan leader was shown on state TV in his fi rst appearance since his son was killed nearly two weeks ago.

Explosions thundered across the capital and wailing ambu-lances raced through the city as the last missile exploded.

Govern-ment offi cials and state-run Libyan televi-sion said the strikes tar-g e t e d B ab al-Azaziya, Gadhafi ’s compound. They did not say which of the compound’s buildings were targeted.

NATO — which had no com-ment about the latest strikes — has hit Tripoli repeat-edly this week as part of its effort to weaken the regime’s resistance to a 3-month-old rebellion. NATO said most of the alliance’s 46 air strikes Wednesday were concen-trated in and around the Libyan capital, hitting com-mand and control centers, ammunition dumps and anti-aircraft missile launchers.

At the nearby Khadra Hos-pital, medics wheeled in the bodies of two men they said were killed in the shelling. One of the bodies was charred; the other was covered by a green blanket, a leg dangling from the stretcher.

New rules being written for federal � nancial booksWASHINGTON (AP) — Fed-

eral Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and other regulators are updating Congress about their efforts to carry out the biggest overhaul of the nation’s fi nancial rules since the Great Depression.

In prepared testimony to the Senate Banking Commit-tee today, Bernanke said the Fed will unveil new regulations

this summer that would protect the U.S. economy from another meltdown of the nation’s largest banks and financial companies.

Congress directed the Fed to write the rules when it passed last year’s financial regula-tory overhaul. The law aims to prevent another financial crisis like the one in 2008 that plunged the economy deeper

into recession.The rules will require big

banks and others, such as Wall Street fi rms, hedge funds and insurance companies, whose failure could endanger the economy, to be subject to more strict requirements for the amount of capital and cash they must have on hand to cushion against losses if another fi nan-cial crisis were to strike.

House GOP to cut $30Bfrom Cabinet agencies

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans controlling the House announced plans Wednesday to cut $30 billion from the day-to-day budgets of Cabinet agencies, doubling down on cuts to domestic pro-grams just weeks after a split-the-differences bargain with President Barack Obama.

The moves by the pow-erful lawmakers atop the House Appropriations Com-mittee are the fi rst concrete steps to try to implement a tight-fi sted 2012 budget plan approved by Republicans’ last month. It would build on $38

billion in savings enacted in a hard-fought agreement with Obama over the current year’s budget.

The $30 billion in savings from agency operating bud-gets that have to be annually approved by Congress seems small compared to deficits that could top $1.6 trillion this year.

But they’re actually a key building block in eventually wrestling the deficit under control, assuming Congress can make the cuts now and stick with them year after year.

Melvin was an incred-ible man with a huge heart, beautiful smile and a firm handshake. He had a heart big enough to love every person he met. He worked as a machinist at Marathon-LeTourneau for 23 years, with a brief seven years on a construction job in Jackson-

ville, Fla., at Miley Industries.Melvin loved Nascar, Ole

Miss and the New Orleans Saints. Everyone who knew him, knew of his devotion to the band “Cheap Trick.” His love of music came through in every aspect of his life — he wrote so many beautiful songs — and his legacy of poetry will live on forever.

The greatest part of his life was the importance of close relationships with those he loved. Friendships ran deep and the love he had for others was an inspiration.

He met the love of his life, Aletha, and experienced the greatest joys of marriage and the pride and love of being a father and grandfather. Mel-vin’s love and life will live on forever in the hearts and lives of us who were honored to call him family and friend.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The astronauts for NASA’s next-to-last space shuttle flight returned to Flor-ida today for another try at launching to the International Space Station.

The six crewmen — led by the husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords — arrived at Kennedy Space Center a day before the countdown clocks begin tick-ing again.

Shuttle Endeavour is due to blast off Monday morning. The first launch attempt on April 29 was halted by elec-trical trouble. A switch box was replaced, and new wiring installed.

In brief remarks after the crew’s arrival, commander Mark Kelly said the launch director has assured him

that Endeavour is “in great condition.”

Aboard Endeavour is a $2 bil-lion particle physics detector that will be attached to the space station. The 16-day flight

also will feature the delivery of station spare parts, as well as four spacewalks that will be the last for the 30-year shuttle program. Atlantis closes out the shuttle era with a flight

in July.Kelly’s wife was critically

wounded in the head four months ago at a Tucson, Ariz., political event. The Arizona congresswoman recovered

well enough to travel from Houston for her husband’s first launch effort. She will return to Kennedy later this week, along with the other astronauts’ families.

Her staff said she will return to Houston to continue rehab, shortly after liftoff. She is a member of the House com-mittee on science, space and technology.

Astronaut Gregory Cham-itoff commended Kelly for giving the mission his all, and called him “truly an amazing commander.”

“We all know Mark’s been through a lot the past few months,” Chamitoff told jour-nalists. “All of us feel really, really lucky to have him guide us through this complex mission.”

“Appreciate that,” Kelly said. “We are really excited to be here, excited to launch hope-fully on Monday if the weather holds.”

Forecasters put the odds of acceptable conditions at 70 percent. Pilot Gregory John-son is celebrating his 49th birthday today.

Relief efforts for flood victims stepped upBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

Relief efforts in Vicksburg have been stepped up to gather donations for people flooded out of their homes and to help them find temporary housing.

About 205 people have vis-ited the United Way of West Central Mississippi in search of places to stay and store items, executive director Bar-bara Tolliver said.

Office hours at the South Street office have expanded to Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and help has been offered to evacuees on a vari-

ety of needs, including rents, mortgages, school uniforms and others items. An Amer-ican Red Cross shelter has been established at Hawkins United Methodist Church.

A community warehouse has been set up by The Salvation Army at the former Blackburn Motors at 2011 Washington St. Food and toiletries have been donated to the site by the Mis-

sissippi Food Network.“Because of our long-stand-

ing relationship with The Sal-vation Army, we are eager to help meet these needs in any way possible,” Walter Sat-terwhite, executive director of the Jackson-based affiliate of the Feeding America Food Bank, said in a statement.

Capt. Srikant Bhatnagar, incoming officer of the Salva-

tion Army’s Vicksburg com-mand, will be on hand to receive the supplies and coor-dinate the distribution.

Separately, the Kings Com-munity Empowerment Center in north Vicksburg will begin distributing food to all flood victims Monday.

Flood victims will have to show proof of residency with any type of utility statement to receive the nonperishable food items.

The center is located at 224 R.L. Chase Circle off North Washington Street.

For more information and distribution times, call 601-634-4788 or 601-634-4756.

War dead, including 13,000 unknown.

Where the flood could affect the park is at the Mint Springs Bayou just south of the cemetery, Madell said. Stabilization of the bluff above the bayou was com-pleted in February, which has turned out to be a very timely overhaul of an area prone to erosion caused by the river, he said.

“That’s exactly why we did that support work,” he said. “The bluff stabilization will prevent that now.”

As the Mississippi River rises, water backs up into the bayou which then drains quickly, and that has caused sloughing and threatened graves in the southern sec-tion of the cemetery.

The project, which cost $2.28 million, was paid for by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

One of the park’s newest sites is across the Missis-sippi River at the Grant’s Canal satellite location. There, the Connecticut state monument sits tucked in behind the Louisiana main-line levee with the rising water just on the other side.

Madell said he inspected the site about a week ago.

“Our expectation is that the levee will hold,” he said. “We haven’t heard the Corps express any concern about it.”

Levee seepage could require cleanup after flood

waters recede, but Madell said the three-section gran-ite monument would prob-ably not see any damage.

The monument was erected and dedicated in 2008 following nearly 10 years of effort by descen-dants of the 9th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, the “Irish Regiment” that labored in June and July 1862 trying to dig a canal across DeSoto Point near Delta, La., so Union boats could bypass Vicksburg and the Confederate cannon on its bluffs.

Farther south, historical artifacts in the museum at Grand Gulf Military Park, a state property in Claiborne County, were packed and moved to higher ground last week as the flood moved into the area and caused officials to close the park.

Assisted by curators from the VNMP and the Natchez National Historical Park, Grand Gulf officials and volunteers salvaged items including period documents, antique books, antebellum gowns and Civil War and Native American artifacts from the museum, which is expected to take on 5 feet of water.

A short distance west of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, the road leading to Grand Gulf Military Park has been closed where water has topped the roadway.

Warren County officials continued visits to residents around Redwood and Yokena urging them to leave their homes, Emergency Manage-ment Agency Operations Officer Sam Barnes said this morning after supervisors OK’d a general evacuation order “for certain areas to be adversely affected by the closing of state highways and county roads.”

The Mississippi River at Vicksburg this morning was 54.6 feet, up nearly a foot in 24 hours. The river is fore-cast to crest in the city on May 19, a week from today, at 57.5 feet, 1.3 feet past the his-toric 1927 flood.

Forecasts for the river’s crest at Greenville were raised Wednesday by 6 inches to 65 feet by Monday. Crests downriver should remain stable for now, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. About 4 miles of high-density poly-vinyl mat covers the Yazoo Backwater Levee north of Mississippi 465 to prevent the north face of the levee from scour. The Corps predicts water will overtop the back-water levee as stages remain above 50 feet for nearly a month after the crest.

Flooding has forced the closing of DiamondJacks and Rainbow casinos, and Ameri-star and Riverwalk remained open, partially encircled by temporary levees and lines of sand bins. The city’s fifth

casino, formerly Horizon and becoming Grand Station, has been closed to the public because of the sale since March.

Starting Friday, truck traf-fic to and from the Port of Vicksburg will be rerouted onto Sherman Avenue.

Eagle Lake was 88.9 feet this morning. A 2-acre berm around sand boils found at

the Buck Chute levee west of the lake was built in recent weeks. The Muddy Bayou Control Structure is filling the lake to 90 feet to ease pressure on the levee from the east. The Corps plans to fill and cap the 2 acres where the dirt was taken with 20,000 cubic yards of sand and clay.

Levels at the Steele Bayou Control Structure were 89.9

feet on the land side and 103.8 feet on the river side, meaning 13.9 feet of water was being held in the back-water area behind the struc-ture, said Wayland Hill, chief civil engineer in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Water Control Division.

Flood waters approach the mark from the 1927 flood at City Front on Wednesday morn-ing. The water coming from the pipe is being pumped from behind the wall where it has seeped in below.

WHO’S HOTJOSH LIEBERMANOutlaws Baseball player hit � ve home runs in � ve games in a baseball tourna-ment at Halls Ferry Park last week.

SIDELINESFavre: ‘Donewith football’

HACKLEBURG, Ala. (AP) — Former NFL quar-terback Brett Favre said he has no intention of coming out of retirement.

Favre said he was “done with football” when asked Wednesday if he might attempt another comeback.

Favre, a spokesman for Wrangler jeans, met with employees at a Wrangler plant that was destroyed by recent tornadoes that devastated the region.

Favre signed auto-graphs for members of the Hackleburg High School football team and Wrangler employees.

Favre, who last played in the NFL with the Min-nesota Vikings, couldn’t escape talking football. When he � rst stepped out of his vehicle, he was greeted by Marion Coun-ty Commission President Don Barnwell, who asked him if he was going to play football this year.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Disaster-weary region needs distraction of footballAt this time of year, when

the bats and balls have been put away and the long, hot summer is upon us, the cry goes up.

I can’t wait for football season to get here.

There’s no doubt that this season defi nitely needs to get here, sooner.

The South has been natu-ral disaster central for much of the spring. The vicious weather system that whipped across the region on April 27 with long-track tornadoes and laid waste to Smithville, Tuscaloosa, Ala., and other places was one blow.

The destruction was every-where between Vicksburg and Atlanta. One section of the 15th Street area in Tus-

caloosa looked as if it had been hit by a giant shotgun blast. Trees are nothing but knee-capped trunks shorn of branches and greenery. Piles of rubble are a pox on the landscape and the few sur-viving buildings are full of holes from wind-borne mis-siles fl ung by the winds of an EF4 tornado.

Another body blow is the Great Flood of 2011, which continues to rise as the engorged Mississippi River can no longer handle the fl ow of too much rain upstream.

A week ago, U.S. High-way 61 south was fi lled with those who rented trucks and crammed them with their possessions to escape the gurgling, unstoppable waters from Redwood, Eagle Lake and points north.

Tributaries, like the barrels of guns, fl ow into the inte-rior and turn the surround-ing areas into a fl ooded land-scape favored only by wading birds and catfi sh. The water is consuming everything, a natural disaster in slow motion in marked contrast

to the wind-borne hell in minutes unleashed by the tornadoes.

It’s enough to make one just want to stop and cry to heaven.

The whole region needs a distraction. Sports is espe-cially good to fi ll the void and distract those whose daily thoughts are mired in their daily predicament.

Just like the New Orleans Saints did for those who sur-vived the horrors of Hurri-cane Katrina in New Orleans, the lights of Friday night can be a saving grace.

It’s about time people were able to think about the impending quarterback race and whether their team has the tools to go far into the

playoffs.Two-a-days, rather than

being a fi ery anvil of pain under a merciless sun, can be a much-needed refuge for those whose houses are in pieces or are underwater.

Walt Whitman said about baseball and how it could “repair these losses and be a blessing to us.”

The same could be said about the opening of football season in the region.

It can’t get here soon enough.

Clemens pitchesM-Braves to winFrom staff reports

Another good night at the offi ce for starting pitcher Paul Clemens added up to a victory for the Mississippi Braves.

Clemens recorded his third consecutive victory as the M-Braves downed the Gener-als (17-14) 4-1.

After a four-hit, eight-in-ning outing at Chattanooga last week, Clemens (3-0) pitched another four-hit, eight-inning gem. He limited Jackson to just one earned run while striking out three.

Clemens has allowed just one earned run in all but two of his seven starts this season and has allowed only two earned runs in his last 18 innings of work.

Benino Pruneda came in to work a perfect ninth and

notched his fi rst save of the season.

The scoring started in the fi rst inning. A couple walks and a single loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the fi rst to set up an Ernesto Mejia sacrifi ce fl y to left fi eld, giving the M-Braves a 1-0 lead.

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the second, shortstop Tyler Pas-tornicky delivered a two-run single to make it a 3-0 game.

Jeff Fiorentino doubled with one out in the fi fth for the M-Braves (13-20). Mejia then drove in his second run of the night with a single to left fi eld to plate Fiorentino and extend the M-Braves’ lead to 4-0.

The Generals got on the board in the seventh when Luis Jimenez led off with a

triple and came in to score on a Johermyn Chavez ground-out to close the scoring.

Jackson starter Kenn Kas-parek (4-2) left the game with an undisclosed injury in the bottom of the second

and took the loss. He allowed three earned runs on two hits while walking three in 11⁄3 innings of work.

M-Braves’ right-hander J.J. Hoover (0-2, 2.34 ERA) gets the start against Jackson left-

hander Anthony Vasquez (2-2, 3.44) in the fourth game of a fi ve-game series against the Generals tonight.

First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. at Trustmark Park.

FiestaBowl staysin BCSBy The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — At the cost of a $1 million fi ne, the Fiesta Bowl will keep its place in the Bowl Championship Series.

The BCS presiden-tial oversight commit-tee imposed the penalty Wednesday in the wake of a scandal at the Arizona-based game that included apparently illegal cam-paign contributions from staff and lavish spending by the former CEO on par-ties and a night at a strip club.

Under the ruling, the Fiesta Bowl can remain part of the system for deciding college foot-ball’s national champion, though in addition to the fi ne it also must meet cer-tain BCS demands such as strengthening the Fiesta Bowl’s board and impos-ing greater supervision over bowl executives.

“The message is they had cleaned house and addressed their problems, but our group doesn’t believe they went far enough,” Bill

Mullen shows o� in VicksburgBy Jeff [email protected]

The 2011 Road Dawg Tour rolled into Vicksburg Wednesday with Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen as the star attraction.

Mullen brought along both the 2010 Egg Bowl and the 2011 Gator Bowl trophies for happy Bulldog fans to see at the Vicksburg Convention Center.

Mullen, who directed Mis-sissippi State to a 9-4 record and a 52-14 Gator Bowl win over Michigan, said the upcoming season represents the program’s next phase and it will be a hard one.

“Our biggest challenge is this year,” Mullen said. “We’ve won two straight Egg Bowls, we went to a New Year’s Day bowl and we fi nished with a top 15 national ranking. With that comes expecta-tions. The kids have

been patted on the back because they proved every-body wrong. Now, we have to prove everybody right. We can’t be satisfi ed where we are.”

Mullen used an example of the recent tornadoes that hit Mississippi last month and the current Mississippi River fl ood that will crest near Vicksburg next week, as a way of how people deal with adversity. He hopes his foot-ball team can learn that lesson.

“I have come to admire the great resolve the people of Missis-sippi have when it comes to han-dling

adversity, whether it be hur-ricanes, tornadoes or fl oods,” Mullen said. “Our football team faces an adversity as well this fall. I call it the adversity of success. I know from experience that you have a great view from the top. When I was in Salt Lake City, I went out one day and

climbed Mount Olympus.

There was noth-ing like that

summit, but with each step, it got steeper and harder. Right now, our football program is at base camp No. 1, I know our fans are happy that we made it to base camp No.1. But we can’t stop. It’s going to get steeper and we’re going to have to continue to work harder.”

With success comes more challenges and Mullen won-ders whether a younger team will be able to handle it when the season opens Sept. 1 at Memphis. Four of the Bulldogs’ fi rst six games are on the road, including a Sept. 10 trip to defending national champion Auburn and early October road dates at Geor-gia and UAB.

“Maturity is my biggest concern with our football team,” Mullen said after fi n-ishing up his autograph

nbaRivers will returnto Celtics’ sideline

MIAMI — Doc Rivers gave the Boston Celtics their first win of the offseason. Barring a change of heart, he’ll return to the sideline next season. And it’s for a simple reason: He says the Celtics aren’t finished as NBA title-contenders.

Rivers’ status has been the source of speculation for some time, and the sense was that he may decide to take a break from coaching. But after his team was ousted from the Eastern Conference semifinals by Miami in a 97-87 loss in Game 5, Rivers revealed that he “probably will” return.

Robert Traylordies in Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Robert Traylor, the former NBA and University of Michigan big man nicknamed “Tractor” because of his hulking frame, has died. He was 34.

Described as a “gentle giant” with a generous smile, Traylor played seven years in the NBA. He is per-haps most remembered, however, for his career at Michigan, where he was a standout for three seasons but became embroiled in a major scandal involving a booster.

Police in San Juan said Traylor was found dead on the bedroom floor of his oceanfront apartment. Police and Traylor’s team, the Baya-mon Cowboys, said he had been missing for a few days and appar-ently died from a heart attack.

Bayne spent a week at the Mayo Clinic undergoing treatment for what doctors have called an inflam-matory condition. He was released last Thursday. Roush Fenway presi-dent Steve Newmark said the team is encouraged by Bayne’s progress, but is being cautious in holding him out an additional week.

Kimbrel implosionsinks Braves again

ATLANTA (AP) — The Nationals are showing some resiliency at the end of a road trip.

Ian Desmond hit a tiebreak-ing, two-run double in the 11th inning, Jayson Werth followed with a two-run homer and Washington beat Atlanta 7-3 on Wednesday night.

After losing three straight at Philadelphia to open a nine-game road trip, the Nation-als (18-18) have climbed back to .500 overall by winning four of five, including the first two games of the three-game series with the Braves.

The win in the 11th was set up by a two-run rally after the Braves led 3-1 in the ninth.

“From where we started the road trip to now, with a chance to sweep these guys, is big for this team,” said Alex Cora.

Cora drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the ninth as Braves closer Craig Kimbrel blew a 3-1 lead.

Drew Storen (3-1) pitched the 10th and Tyler Clippard took over in the 11th for his first save.

Atlanta’s Eric Hinske hom-ered in the seventh in his first start of the season in right field. He filled in for Jason Heyward, who will have an MRI on his sore right shoulder on Thursday.

With one out in the 11th, Scott Linebrink (0-1) hit pinch-hitter Ivan Rodriguez with a pitch. With Rodriguez run-

ning from first, Cora singled to right field, sending Rodri-guez to third.

Desmond drove in both run-ners with his double down the third-base line. Werth fol-lowed with his sixth homer to add to the lead. Brian McCa-nn’s two-run double in the first inning gave Atlanta the lead it held until the ninth.

Laynce Nix, who had three hits, and Jerry Hairston Jr. had ninth-inning singles before Kimbrel loaded the bases with a one-out walk to pinch-hitter Matt Stairs. Cora followed with two-run single past Kimbrel to tie the game.

“The closer throws so hard, Alex is a veteran,” said Wash-ington manager Jim Riggle-man. “He didn’t try to do too much. He just tried to make contact and hope it found a hole, and it did.”

It was the third blown save in 10 chances for Kimbrel, a rookie who gave up three hits and a walk in the inning.

“Everybody went out there and played good, the entire team did,” Kimbrel said. “And I didn’t go out there and do my job. I’m leaving balls over the plate. It’s just bad execu-tion by me.”

Braves manager Fredi Gon-zalez said he’ll stick with Kimbrel.

“It’s a cruel game, it really is,” Gonzalez said. “We just couldn’t get those last three outs.”

Heat land mortal blow to CelticsBy The Associated Press

He scored the game’s final 10 points. He knelt on the court when it was over. He even apologized afterward for any feelings that may have been hurt last summer when he left Cleveland for Miami.

For LeBron James, the night was emotional and unforgettable.

And imagine: The Miami Heat are only halfway through the pursuit of an NBA title.

Finally vanquishing their rivals from Boston, Dwyane Wade scored 34 points, James added 33 — including a spec-tacular closing flourish — and the Heat went on a 16-0 run over the final 4:15 to beat the Celtics 97-87 on Wednesday and win their Eastern Confer-ence semifinal series in five games.

When it was over, James took a knee, oblivious to the photographers who quickly surrounded him in Miami’s celebration. By then, some of the Celtics were already back in the locker room, skipping the customary end-of-series handshakes. James didn’t seem to notice.

“Everything went through my mind at that point,” James said. “Finally getting over this hump against this team. Everything I went through this summer, with ‘The Deci-sion’ and deciding to come down here to be a part of this team ... because I knew how important team is to this sport ... and all the backlash I got from it.

“I’d be up here for two hours if I tell you exactly everything that went through my head. Very emotional at that point, you know, and happy we got through it as a team.”

That they did — as a team.James Jones hit a 3-pointer

that kickstarted the final push, and Chris Bosh finished with 14 points — none of them more important than the two

coming when he blew past Kevin Garnett for a game-ty-ing dunk with 2:57 left.

Wade carried Miami early, then James finished the job. His personal 10-0 run to close the game put some long-sim-mering Celtics demons to rest.

“I play with the two best play-ers in the league,” Bosh said. “And we do this together.”

True, this was about the collective.

And in the end, for James, it was also personal. The Boston series a year ago was painful for him, as was the summer — and the fallout — that followed after he left Cleveland.

Ray Allen led Boston with 18 points. Garnett had 15 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Pierce scored 12 and Delonte West added 10.

“Right now, I am really upset,” Pierce said. “I wish I could have played better tonight. Unfortunately we came up on the short end of the stick. I tip my hat off to Miami. They really played great basketball.”

Thunder 99, Grizzlies 72

Kevin Durant scored 19 points, reserve Daequan Cook added 18 and the Oklahoma City Thunder followed their triple-overtime triumph with a blowout of the Memphis Griz-zlies to take their first series lead in the Western Confer-ence semifinals.

The Thunder lead 3-2 head-ing into Game 6 on Friday night in Memphis. They got there with ease considering what happened two nights earlier.

Marc Gasol had 16 points to lead Memphis, which matched its lowest point total from the regular season and played like it was still drained from an emotional loss in their own building that knocked them out of control in the series.

session. “We’ve experienced a good deal of success, but I have a really young team coming back.”

Gone are two senior leaders for the Bulldogs. Left tackle Derek Sherrod went in the first round of the NFL Draft to the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. State also lost linebacker Chris White, the 2010 Conerly Trophy winner, to the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round.

“You don’t replace a Derek Sherrod,” Mullen said. “We will have someone at left tackle. Right now, that’s

Wayne Causell. Much like last year when we were faced with replacing Anthony Dixon, we built on the talent we had. I learned early on you can’t just make things fit a certain way. Alex Smith was the best player I’ve coached, but when I went to Florida, Chris Leak was a dif-ferent kind of quarterback, and we were able to win a national championship with him.”

Mullen said that Yazoo County defensive end Caleb Eulls, a redshirt freshman, made good strides during

spring practice. He also liked the progress of wide receiv-ers Robert and Malcolm Johnson.

The biggest disappointment was the loss of running back Nick Griffin to a knee injury. He will be out until early October.

Mullen said two Vicks-burg products, junior defen-sive back Marvin Bure and freshman long snapper Reed Gordon, will have increased roles.

Bure was a special teams force last season and his punt block against Michigan

proved to be a pivotal play in the Gator Bowl win.

“Marvin had a great season on our special teams,” Mullen said. “He forced a fumble on a kickoff against Ole Miss and had the big play in the Gator Bowl. As of now, he’s also in the mix to join the rotation at corner. He’s got two experienced corners in front of him, but he’s in the mix.”

Mullen said Gordon came out of the spring as the Bull-dogs’ starter at long snapper.

Hancock, executive direc-tor of the BCS, said in a tele-phone interview. He added that the $1 million fine was meant to reflect the “serious nature of the matter.”

The BCS called for the money to be donated to char-ities serving Arizona youth.

In a statement, Fiesta Bowl Chairman Duane Woods

said: “The Fiesta Bowl Board of Directors understands and accepts the sanctions imposed by the BCS. We think that these tough but fair measures are consis-tent with our commitment to reform the Fiesta Bowl’s gov-ernance and rebuild trust.”

The bowl shouldn’t have much trouble coming up with

the cash. In a filing with the IRS this year, the Fiesta Bowl listed more than $15 million in net assets.

A recent internal report by the Fiesta Bowl detailed about $45,000 in reimburse-ments to employees for polit-ical donations, an appar-ent violation of federal and state laws. It also revealed

inappropriate spending, such as $33,000 for a Pebble Beach, Calif., birthday bash for then-CEO and President John Junker, $13,000 for the wedding and honeymoon of an aide, and a $1,200 strip club tab for Junker and two others.

Junker has been fired.

LAST HURRAH

Philbin tries to go out a winner in EmmysNEW YORK (AP) — Regis

Philbin and ABC’s exiting soap operas have multiple opportu-nities to go out as winners at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

“All My Children” earned 13 Emmy nods and “One Life to Live” had 12, in nominations announced Wednesday for the June 19 awards show. ABC has canceled the durable soap operas, each on the air for more than 40 years, and their final episodes will be in the coming months.

Philbin has said that later this year he is leaving the talk show “Live with Regis and Kelly” built around him, first with co-host Kathie Lee Gifford and now with Kelly Ripa. His show has never won a Daytime Emmy for best talk show. Philbin was nominated for best talk-show host, an award he shared once a decade ago with Rosie

O’Donnell. He also won a Daytime Emmy for best game show host when “Who Wants to Be a Mil-lionaire” was at its apex.“General

Hospital” led the way with 21 Daytime Emmy nomina-tions, followed by “The Young and the Restless” with 20 and “Sesame Street” with 16. The awards will be distributed at the Las Vegas Hilton, televised by CBS.

“All My Children” was nomi-nated for best daytime drama, along with “General Hospi-tal,” “The Young and the Rest-less” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.” CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” has won twice

in a row in this narrowing category.

Two “All My Children” cast members, Alicia Minshew and Debbi Morgan, were nomi-nated for best actress in a day-time drama. Other nominees were Colleen Zenk of “As the World Turns,” Susan Flannery of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Laura Wright of “General Hos-pital” and Michelle Stafford of “The Young and the Restless.”

Best actor nominees for soap operas were Ricky Paull Goldin of “All My Children,” Michael Park of “As the World Turns,” James Scott of “Days of Our Lives,“ Maurice Benard of “General Hospital” and Chris-tian Le Blanc of “The Young and the Restless.”

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said it was giving lifetime achievement awards to game

show hosts Alex Trebek of “Jeopardy!” and Pat Sajak of “Wheel of Fortune,” syndi-cated TV’s two most dominant game shows. Neither man was nominated for best game show host this year, although both entered the competition.

Instead, Ben Bailey of Dis-covery’s “Cash Cab” has the chance for a second straight win in the category. Other nom-inees include Wayne Brady of “Let’s Make a Deal,” who will host the Daytime Emmy cere-mony; Todd Newton of “Family Game Night” on the Hub, a new show on a new network; and Meredith Vieira of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

“Cash Cab” has the chance to make it four straight Emmys as best game show, with com-petition from “The Price Is Right,” “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!”

Bristol Palin says she hadcorrective jaw surgery

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appear-ance was due to a procedure — but not plas-tic surgery.

The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presiden-tial candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she under-went corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw. The new look, complete with Palin losing 5

pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspon-dents’ Association dinner.

Dad ganged up on over sleeping arrangementsDear Abby: Our daughter,

“Julie,” came home for the weekend so we could meet her new boyfriend, “Scott.” He’s a delightful young man, and my daughter is clearly smitten.

When I suggested Scott sleep in the guest room, Julie and my wife gave me this per-plexed look as though I’m from a different planet. In the end, I was deeply disappointed that they shared a bedroom. After 30 years of marriage, this cre-ated the first disagreement between my wife and me in a long time.

I’m no prude. My wife and I had our share of premarital mambo, but we always slept in separate rooms while visiting our families before we were married. It was about respect for our parents’ feelings.

Julie spends a lot of time

with Scott’s family where they share a room. My wife is afraid if we don’t provide common accommodations in our home, our daughter will be less inclined to visit.

I welcome your thoughts, Abby. Is expecting some sense of propriety being a curmud-geonly father? — Stumped and Trumped in Ohio

Dear Stumped and Trumped: You didn’t mention how long Julie and Scott have been involved, or whether they’re living together — which might have had some

bearing on this. However, I keep coming back to the fact that under your roof, guests should abide by your rules. If you prefer that unmarried couples sleep apart in your home, then your feelings should have been respected. And for your wife to wimp out for the reason you stated is just sad.

Cold hands plague readeron weight, arthritis meds

Dear Dr. Gott: I have lost 40 pounds in four months. I’m on a 1,800-calories-a-day diet and exercise almost daily. My doctor prescribed Adipex-P daily to help me with my weight loss and Arthrotec for my arthritis. These are the only new medications I am taking. I’m a 69-year-old female.

Since I began losing the weight, my hands have been unusually cold. It feels as if I have them in ice water. Is this something I should ask my doctor about, or is it normal?

Dear Reader: Adipex-P is an appetite suppressant for the treatment of obesity. Side effects can include con-stipation, diarrhea, difficulty sleeping, headache, nervous-ness, restlessness, upset stomach, chest pain, short-ness of breath and more.

Arthrotec is a nonsteroi-dal ant i - in f lammatory drug that reduces pain and inflammation.

Side effects can include headache, nausea, stomach pain, stomach ulcers, chest pain, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and more. Your arthritis might certainly have a bearing on your cold hands.

There is a slight possibility one of the new medications or a combination of others you might be on are causing your cold hands. Do you have Raynaud’s syndrome, a thy-roid condition, anemia, a B12 deficiency or are you under stress? Any of these situa-tions and many others could be the culprit.

Ask your doctor whether any other medications you are taking could be affecting you, or whether he or she can order blood work that might shed some light on your problem. Without knowing

your full medical history and the other medications you are on, it is impossible for me to determine why your hands have become so cold so quickly, but as I pointed out, there are many possible reasons.

In the interim, when you sit watching television or walk down the street every day, curl your hands up tightly into fists.

Open the fists and stretch your fingers as wide as pos-sible. Repeat the pattern, and do it several times a day. Incorporate arm exercises by swinging them forward and back.

Get your circulation moving, eat a healthful, balanced diet, and discontinue tobacco immediately if you are a smoker, and you might find the relief you are seeking.

•Write to Dr. Peter Gott in care of United Media, 200 Madison Ave., 4th fl., New York, NY 10016.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Things could tend to irritate you, and because of this it isn’t likely that you will work well under pressure. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you get involved in a business matter with a friend, chances are that working together won’t be anything like you thought. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Keep your cool if certain demands placed on you are severe and unreasonable. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A failure on your part to pay attention to details could quickly get you into trouble. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you have been noticing that a joint endeavor in which you’re involved is showing very little signs of success, it might be time to consider easing yourself out of the arrangement.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The only thing that being too self-serving and headstrong will do is make life extremely unpleas-ant for you and those around you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Properly preparing yourself will help you perform better than if you were to just wing it. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Stay away from activities with friends that involve expenses that you can’t meet. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If everyone in the family is at odds with one another, including you, try to go off by yourself in order to put things in proper perspective.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You know it is best not to prema-turely try to launch something that still has lots of wrinkles to be ironed out.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If friends or associates think you’re only looking out for yourself, they will quickly learn to avoid you.Aries (March 21-April 19) — When negotiating with someone who looks like she or he is holding all the cards, you should take a break to review the situation.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 20 and drink alcohol (beer), but I don’t do drugs. I’m sure I’m not ad-dicted, and I’m positive that I could quit drinking if I really wanted to.

How can one tell if one has an alcohol problem? — Nameless, DeKalb, Ill.

Nameless: The Community Psychiatric Hospital in Santa Ana, Calif., has put together a 20-question quiz to deter-mine if a teen has a chemical or alcohol dependency prob-lem.

Teens: • Do you lose time from

school due to drinking or drugs?

• Do you drink or use drugs to feel more comfortable?

• Do you drink or use drugs to build self-confidence?

• Do you drink or use drugs alone?

• Is drinking or using drugs affecting your reputation?

• Do you drink or use drugs to escape from study or home worries?

• Do you feel guilty after drinking or using drugs?

• Does it bother you if some-one says you drink or use drugs too much?

• Do you feel more at ease on a date when drinking or using drugs?

• Have you gotten into trou-ble at home because of your drinking or drug use?

• Do you borrow money or do you do without other

things so you can buy liquor or drugs?

• Do you feel a sense of pow-er or well-being when you drink or use drugs?

• Have you lost friends since you started drinking or using drugs?

• Do your friends drink or get high less than you do?

• Have you started hanging out with a heavy drinking or drug-using crowd?

• Do you drink until the li-quor is all gone?

• Do you ever wake up and wonder what happened the night before?

• Have you ever been arrest-ed or hospitalized because of drinking or drugs?

• Do you turn off mental-ly when you hear reports or lectures on alcohol or drug abuse?

• Do you think you have a problem?

Each “yes” answer is a warn-ing signal. If you answered yes to three or more questions, you can figure you have a def-inite problem with alcohol or drugs.
