Three teens plead guilty to manslaughter

By Pamela [email protected]

Three Vicksburg teens, reputed gang members who were set to go to trial Monday on murder charges, have pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Gemini Porter, 17, 2501 Culkin Road; Kersey Young,

18, 1115 Adams Lane; and Roosevelt Dewayne Harris, 18, 1803 First East St., admitted in Warren County Cir-cuit Court Thursday afternoon they shot 25-year-old Antonio Turner on March 15, 2009, after a botched robbery attempt on Alcorn Drive.

Porter, Young and Harris

appeared one-by-one before Judge Isa-dore Patrick as the hast-ily arranged plea session replaced a

scheduled court date for pre-trial motions, District Attor-ney Ricky Smith said.

Patrick defined manslaugh-ter as “the killing of another

without malice with a fire-arm in the heat of passion.”

After questioning to make sure the defendants under-stood they were waiving a jury trial, the right to appeal and various other rights — Porter’s mother was required to witness and confirm his answers because he is a minor — the judge accepted the guilty pleas and set sen-tencing for June 25 at 9 a.m.

Mississippi law requires a sentence of life without parole for a murder convic-tion. The maximum for man-

slaughter is 20 years.Negotiations among pros-

ecutors, defense attorneys and the teens began around 11 a.m. Thursday, Smith said. In return for the guilty pleas, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charges, but did not negotiate a sentence recommendation.

Porter and Young each face a minimum of a two-year suspended sentence with no fine up to a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000

Oil blobs hitGulf Shores;BP says capcatching crudeBy The Associated Press

As blobs of tar washed ashore this morning at Gulf Shores and Pensacola, British Petroleum said a newly installed cap collected some of the oil spewing out of the blown-out Gulf well, though black crude was still leaking into the sea.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the govern-ment’s point man for the disaster, said officials said they won’t know until later today how the cap device is working.

It’s the latest bid to contain — not plug — the nation’s worst spill. Even if the cap is successful, it will not collect all the oil coming out. Stopping the leak is still months away.

But officials were optimistic when the inverted funnel-like system, wrapped in hoses and more sophisticated than previous devices, started pumping oil and gas to a tanker on the surface.

Allen said a very rough estimate of current collection would be about 42,000 gallons a day, though he stressed he wasn’t certain.

“Progress is being made, but we need to caution against over-opti-mism,” he said.

President Barack Obama was set to visit the Louisiana coast today, his second trip in a week and the third since the disaster unfolded following an April 20 oil rig explo-sion. Eleven workers were killed.

Meanwhile, waves of gooey tar blobs were washing ashore on the white sand of the Florida Panhan-dle and nearby Alabama beaches as a slick from the spill moved

McDonald’s recalls12M Shrek glassesBy The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Cad-mium has been discovered in the painted design on “Shrek”-themed drinking glasses being sold nation-wide at McDonald’s, forcing the burger giant to recall 12 million of the cheap U.S.-made collectibles while dra-matically expanding contam-ination concerns about the toxic metal beyond imported children’s jewelry.

The U.S. Consumer Product

Safety Commission, which announced the voluntary recall early today, warned consumers to immedi-ately stop using the glasses; McDonald’s said it would post instructions on its web-site next week regarding refunds.

The 16-ounce glasses, being sold for about $2 each as part of a promotional campaign for the movie “Shrek Forever After,” were available in four designs depicting the Dream-Works characters.

City a ‘top town’for sportsmenBy David [email protected]

Vicksburg has been named among the top destinations in the country for sportsmen. Outdoor Life magazine ranked Vicksburg 160th in its third annual “America’s Top 200 Towns for Sportsmen.”

“To be honest with you, I thought we’d be a lot higher than that,” said Eddie Buckner, owner of Delta Outfitters. “I have friends who come and hunt with me from all over the country. They go other places and (Vicksburg) is where they love to come the most.”

Farmers’ Market opens Saturday morningBy Tish [email protected]

Kate and Walter Montgomery were packing up today, getting their bread-and-butter pickles, pound cake, banana cake, fig pre-serves and vegetables ready to go Saturday morning, the first day of this year’s Vicksburg Farmers’ Market.

The market, moving a block north to Catfish Row from the Levee Street Depot, will open at 8 with 15 vendors, at least two of whom will be new to the gathering that for a third year will offer art and collect-ibles as well as fresh produce and canned foods.

“I was raised on a farm. So, I’ve done it all my life,” Kate Montgom-ery said of her pickles. She has about two dozen pint-sized jars ready.

The couple grows their produce in a garden near their house and on two large fig trees.

“We probably get at least 100 gal-lons off the two trees each year,” said Walter Montgomery.

Mary Beth Lasseter and Kristen Meehan have volunteered for three years to organize the market that will operate from 8 until 11 a.m. on

A 2004 Ford Expedition reported stolen in Vicksburg Wednesday was recovered in Jackson Thursday afternoon, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

The vehicle was found at a motel off Interstate 55 South. No damage was reported other than a window broken for access and nothing was missing, Stewart said.

The vehicle had been stolen from Candlewood Suites on South Frontage Road.

Thomas Sherod Caston, 22, 4980 Oak Creek Drive, and Jonathan Burns, 18, 2867 Reveer St., were charged Wednesday with the theft and seven counts of auto burglary after police nabbed

them for a string of thefts at local hotels.

Caston, who led police on a highway chase before losing control of his car near Clin-ton, was also charged with felony eluding.

Both men remained in the Warren County Jail this morning, Burns on a $175,000 bond and Caston on a $200,000 bond.

Five injured in three wrecks in city, countyFive people were injured in

three wrecks in Vicksburg and Warren County Thursday.

In the first, reported just after 9:30 a.m., David Edward Chipley, 30, 933 Sanders Lane, Carthage, was southbound on Mississippi 3 near Redwood in a loaded log truck when he lost control of the 18-wheeler, and it flipped onto its side, spilling its contents. No other vehi-cles were involved, a Vicks-burg Fire Department spokes-man said.

Chipley was taken to River Region Medical Center and later transferred to University Medical Center in Jackson, where he was in fair condition this morning, UMC spokes-man Peggy Wagner said.

In the second wreck, at about 2 p.m., witnesses said Tammi Hamilton of 441 Sundance Circle in Richland was west-bound on Interstate 20 near

Halls Ferry Road when she lost control of her 2008 Kia Rio after swerving to avoid hitting the back of another car.

Hamilton’s car came to a stop when it hit a highway median barrier placed by the Missis-sippi Department of Transpor-tation. The barriers have kept many vehicles from crossing the four-lane interstate into oncoming traffic, Vicksburg police Sgt. Jackie Johnson said.

Hamilton was treated and released from River Region, spokesman Allen Karel said.

In the third wreck, two vehi-cles collided at Warrenton Road and U.S. 61 South around 5:30 p.m., sending three people to the hospital.

Elizabeth Ann Everett, 67, 1245 Mount Alban Road, was taken to River Region, where she was in good condition this morning, Karel said.

Everett was a passenger in a 1995 Nissan pickup driven by Annie Montgomery, 51, address unknown. Mont-gomery was northbound and attempting to turn onto Warrenton Road when her pickup collided with a south-bound 2004 Hyundai Sonata

driven by Shirley Ann Hall, 55, 1127 Beechwood Drive, Port Gibson.

Montgomery and Hall also were taken to River Region, where they were treated and released, Karel said.

Forrest Beard, 20, whose arrest on methamphetamine charges was reported in Thursday’s edition, does not live at 12000 Freetown Road, a resident of that address said this morning.

Spill workers complaining of flulike symptomsNEW ORLEANS (AP) — For

days now, Dr. Damon Dietrich and other physicians have seen patients come through their emergency room at West Jefferson Medical Center with similar symptoms: respira-tory problems, headaches and nausea.

In the past week, 11 work-ers who have been out on the water cleaning up oil from BP’s blown-out well have been treated for what Dietrich calls “a pattern of symptoms” that could have been caused by the burning of crude oil, noxious fumes from the oil or the dis-persants dumped in the Gulf to break it up. All workers were treated and released.

“One person comes in, it could be multiple things,” he said. “Eleven people come in with these symptoms, it makes it incredibly suspicious.”

Few studies have examined long-term health effects of oil exposure. But some of the workers trolling Gulf Coast beaches and heading out into the marshes and waters have complained about flu-like symptoms — a similar com-plaint among crews deployed for the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska.

BP and U.S. Coast Guard offi-cials have said dehydration, heat, food poisoning or other unrelated factors may have caused the workers’ symp-toms. The Louisiana Depart-ment of Health and Hospitals is investigating.

Brief contact with small amounts of light crude oil and dispersants are not harmful.

Swallowing small amounts of oil can cause upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea. Long-term exposure to dispersants, however, can cause central nervous system problems, or do damage to blood, kidneys or livers, according to the Cen-ters For Disease Control and Prevention.

In the six weeks since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 workers, an estimated 21 million to 45 million gallons of crude has poured into the Gulf of Mexico. Hundreds of BP contractors have fanned out along the Gulf, deploying boom, spray-ing chemicals to break up the oil, picking up oil-soaked

debris and trying to keep the creeping slick out of the sen-sitive marshes and away from the tourist-Mecca beaches.

Commercial fisherman John Wunstell Jr. spent a night on a vessel near the source of the spill and left complaining of a severe headache, upset stomach and nose bleed. He was treated at the hospital, and sued — becoming part of a class-action lawsuit filed last month in U.S. District Court in New Orleans against BP, Transocean and their insurers.

Wunstell, who was part of a crew burning oil, believes planes were spraying disper-sant in the middle of the night

— something BP disputes.“I began to ache all over ...”

he said in the affidavit. “I was completely unable to function at this point and feared that I was seriously ill.”

Dozens of complaints, most from spill workers, have been made related to oil exposure with the Louisiana Depart-ment of Health and Hospitals, said spokesman Olivia Wat-kins, as well as with the Louisi-ana Poison Center, clinics and hospitals. Workers are being told to follow federal guide-lines that recommend anyone involved in oil spill cleanup wear protective equipment such as gloves, safety glasses and clothing.

Firm violated no-call list,Mississippi regulators say

JACKSON (AP) — A Texas company has been fined $45,000 for violating Missis-sippi’s no-call law.

Mississippi Public Service Commission Chairman Bran-don Presley said Thursday that Houston-based Mobile Marketing Solutions failed to register and to purchase Mis-sissippi’s list of people or com-panies who don’t want tele-phone solicitations.

He said the company also

contacted consumers regis-tered on the list.

Presley said Mobile Market-ing Solutions representatives failed to respond to the PSC’s findings. He said the company is banned from making solici-tation calls in Mississippi until it buys a no-call list and pays the civil penalty.

The company could appeal the fine to the chancery court in Hinds County.

Insurance chief Chaney warnsof liquidated insurance firm

JACKSON (AP) — Missis-sippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney says consumers should make other arrange-ments for coverage if they had policies through a com-pany called American Trade Association.

ATA is based in Tennessee. In April, a judge there ordered the permanent shutdown and liquidation of the company.

Chaney said Thursday that all insurance policies or other benefits by ATA ended

Monday.The Missis-

sippi Insur-ance Depart-ment issued a n o r d e r against the company April 27, tell-

ing it to stop doing busi-

ness in the state.Chaney said ATA offered

health policies by phone, e-mail and blast faxes.

Training begins at Delhi sweet potato plantDELHI, La. — Officials

say about 1,700 people have applied for 240 hourly jobs at the ConAgra Foods Inc. sweet potato processing plant near Delhi, and the first 80 will be hired by July 12.

The opening is expected in September.

Plant human resources director Dan Downard and Jeff Lynn, executive director of the state’s Fast Start train-ing program, said that about 500 applicants have been invited to a pre-employment class next week.

Downard said the company will hire the hourly workers in three groups of 80, with three weeks between each group.

He said the first group will be mostly machine opera-tors, and will need more extensive on-the-job training than the next two groups.

The company, based in Omaha, Neb., also plans to hire about 35 management workers.

Woman sentencedin child’s death

POPLARVILLE, Miss. — Alison Regina Holmes has been sentenced to 17 years

in prison for negligent homi-cide in the 2008 death of her 16 month-old daughter, Bran-don Stacey.

Holmes had pleaded guilty in March. Her sentencing was delayed until after the trial of her boyfriend, Kelly Lee Bonomo, who was acquit-ted last month of capital murder charges.

Circuit Judge Prentiss Har-rell on Thursday sentenced Holmes to 17 years in prison and three years of post release supervision.

Prosecutors say Brandon Stacy died from a closed head injury caused by blunt force trauma.

State truck driver diesin I-55 crash

TICKFAW, La. — A Mis-sissippi truck driver died in a fiery crash on Interstate 55 south of Tickfaw, Louisiana State Police said.

Troopers said 29-year-old William Pack, of Moss Point, Miss., was traveling south on I-55 Thursday when his 18-wheeler ran off the road and hit a tree causing it to

jackknife and burst into flames.

Pack was pronounced dead at the scene by the Tangipa-hoa Parish Coroner’s Office.

Terry man accusedof operating brothel

JACKSON, Miss. — A 53-year-old man who is accused of operating a brothel from a home in Terry has been indicted for racketeering.

James Little was arrested on Thursday by the Hinds County Sheriff’s Depart-ment. Lt. Jeffery Scott said a grand jury indicted Little for allegedly violating the Rack-eteer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act.

In 2008, investigators raided a home on the I-55 South frontage road and again in 2009.

WASHINGTON — American troops in Afghanistan spent their Memorial Day securing routes into Kandahar and engaging local tribal leaders in preparation for a major offensive. I spent part of my Memorial Day reading President Obama’s recently released National Security Strat-egy — a document that concedes the importance of the military but emphasizes the security imperatives of “affordable health care” and “rede-veloping our infrastructure.”

America, we are told, requires “a broad conception of what constitutes our national security,” which hap-pens to coincide with the adminis-tration’s legislative priorities. Never forget: They also serve who pass health entitlements and distribute highway construction funding.

It is commonplace to assert that there are economic foundations of national power. It is shameless to use a national security document to advance a debatable domestic agenda that shows scant understand-ing of how economies actually grow stronger. And it is doubly shame-less — naked-on-a-downtown-bus shameless — for this administration to assert “responsible management of our federal budget” as a national security priority.

In most areas, the 2010 NSS

expresses unobjectionable continu-ity. America frowns on nuclear pro-liferation. America likes democracy. America will act along with its allies — except when it needs to act alone. Portions of the document are admi-rable, especially its emphasis on the promotion of development and global health as instruments of national influence. But it is not surprising that nearly everyone can find something to like in the NSS, since it reads like a State of the Union without space constraints. “The United States is an Arctic nation,” we are informed, “with broad and fundamental inter-ests in the Arctic region.”

Much that is old in the NSS is obvi-ous. Much that is new is not actually new. The contention that health enti-tlements, infrastructure construction and education spending are really

national security priorities is a repol-ished version of an argument made for decades on the isolationist left. “How many schools could we build for the price of an aircraft carrier?” has become the claim that domes-tic spending is the national security equivalent of building an aircraft carrier.

Another emphasis of the 2010 NSS is multilateralism. America must construct “a new international archi-tecture,” building “partnerships with new centers of influence,” working in “multilateral fora,” breaking down “old habits of suspicion,” to “syn-chronize our actions,” in “shaping an international order,” that will “mod-ernize the infrastructure for interna-tional cooperation.”

It would be nice, of course, to have a United Nations Security Council

that was not hobbled by Russian and Chinese vetoes; a U.N. Human Rights Council that was not an unfunny global joke; a NATO alliance that was not exhausted by minimal exertions; regional security arrangements in Africa and Asia capable of prevent-ing genocide and mass atrocities. Effective, muscular multilateralism spreads burdens and increases legiti-macy when action is required.

But how does the NSS propose to achieve such wonders? The admin-istration claims credit for expand-ing the G-8 to the G-20 and paying up America’s United Nations dues. In the future, America will “invest in strengthening the international system” and work “from inside inter-national institutions,” and build “frameworks to face their imperfec-tions head on and to mobilize trans-national cooperation” and “enhance international capacity,” and facili-tate “broad and effective global coop-eration” and develop “integrated plans and approaches that leverage ... capabilities.” This type of writ-ing is a net subtraction from public understanding.

Nearly all of the policy weight of the NSS rests on the project of creating a new international infrastructure to replace the current one, which is “buckling under the weight of new

threats” such as nuclear prolifera-tion. But the document provides no actual strategy in this area.

The cover of multilateralism also has been employed by the isolation-ist left. On issues such as prolifera-tion and genocide, multilateralism can become a way to rationalize inac-tion. The most reluctant member of a coalition is granted a veto. This approach to multilateralism allows a government to express concern on everything while accepting respon-sibility for nothing.

The national security doctrine of a president is difficult to imple-ment but often simple to state. Harry Truman would contain threats. Ronald Reagan would roll back threats. George W. Bush would pre-empt threats. Barack Obama will out-coordinate threats in multilat-eral fora.

In practice, Obama has been more resolute than this vision would indi-cate, especially in Afghanistan. And diplomacy often consists of deploying banalities with a straight face. But it is only the strength and bravery of its armed forces that allow America the luxury of such banality.

PretendingTroops are the actors in federal charadeIt must be an election year.President Barack Obama has

announced he will send up to 1,200 National Guard troops to shore up Border Patrol efforts.

Though State Department offi-cials are claiming otherwise, the deployment of the troops is at least in part a response to the Arizona state law enacted last month enabling local police to demand proof of legal residency if a person stopped for another infraction is suspected of being in the country illegally.

State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, “It’s not about immigration.” That should bring some chuckles.

Crowley said the move was “fully consistent with our efforts to do our part to stem, you know, violence, to interdict the flow of dangerous people and dangerous goods — drugs, guns, people.” That should bring more.

Arizona’s two U.S. senators, John McCain and Jon Kyl, had requested troops on April 19. U.S. Reps. Harry E. Mitchell and Dana Rohrabacher, both Cali-fornia Republicans, filed legisla-

tion on May 21 to authorize the deployment.

We don’t expect this latest dis-patch to be much different than 6,000 Guard troops that President George W. Bush deployed in 2006. Like that deployment, the new group will only perform support duties, the White House said.

They will provide surveillance, build infrastructure and do other behind-the-scenes work. The idea is to help the Border Patrol put more trained agents in the field. Guardsmen will not be allowed to initiate contact with any suspected illegal immigrants or smugglers and will not take the lead in any detentions or seizures.

They’re there to look like the federal government is doing something, which it isn’t and hasn’t — which is why Arizona was prompted to pass its contro-versial law in the first place.

During Operation Jump Start, which the Bush deployment was called, asset seizures were mod-erate while apprehensions actu-ally decreased. Federal officials played the numbers as positive

steps both ways. They said the seizures proved the extra troops were providing better support and stopping drugs, vehicles and other contraband before it reached the interior United States. At the same time, they touted the drop in apprehensions as proof that the troops were an effective deterrent to illegal crossing.

Most of the 20,000 current Border Patrol agents are sta-tioned along the southern U.S. boundary of nearly 2,000 miles. Nearly 700 miles of fencing has been built along that border.

These measures haven’t pro-duced significant improvements, and neither will these additional troops.

Once the election passes, we can expect officials to once again push border issues into the back-ground. The National Guards-men will dutifully carry out their orders and eventually go home. Then we can all sit and wait for the next major election cycle, when the feds will pretend to do something again.

Nothing bold, much mistaken in Obama declarationIt is shameless to use a national security document to advance a debatable domestic agenda that

shows scant understanding of how economies actually grow stronger.

Q: My family came across some old telephone stocks from 1912. Is there anyway to figure out if these stocks are

worth any-thing? — A.T., via e-mail

A: There are com-panies that for a fee will

research the stocks that you

have in your possession to see if there is still value. In most cases, the stocks have been reissued. Companies have come and gone. However, if nothing else they make won-derful curios, framed items for the wall of the den. Also, the Securities and Exchange Com-mission gives you information on how you can find the value of old stocks. You can check it out on their website at www.sec.gov/answers/oldcer.htm

Blagojevich trial kicks off with hugs, handshakesCHICAGO — Rod

Blagojevich started off his corruption trial in full cam-paign mode, greeting well-wishers with hugs and handshakes, while the judge began questioning poten-tial jurors who emerged as a cross section of the middle American voters who first elected the former Illinois governor.

U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel questioned 29 poten-tial jurors in five hours Thursday at Blagojevich’s trial on charges of scheming to profit by selling or trading an appointment to the Senate seat that Barack Obama left to assume the presidency.

Zagel asked one woman, an administrative assistant, about her remark on a jury questionnaire that she didn’t trust most politicians.

“You aren’t going to be asked to judge politicians as a whole,” Zagel said. “You’re going to be asked about two specific individuals.”

Charged alongside Blagojevich is his brother, Nashville, Tenn., business-man Robert Blagojevich, who was chairman of his cam-paign fund and is accused of not only scheming to sell the Senate seat but plotting to

pressure a racetrack owner for a donation.

Zagel asked another woman, who said she worked in sales, about her remark on her questionnaire that she had strong opinions about politics.

“Positive or negative?” Zagel asked. She answered, “Negative.”

Tyson to pay workersfor time donning gear

WASHINGTON — Tyson Foods Inc. on Thursday settled a decade-long dispute with the Labor Department by agree-ing to pay workers at poultry

plants for time they spend put-ting on and taking off protec-tive clothing.

Government officials hope the settlement with Tyson — and a similar agreement reached earlier this year with poultry processor Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. — will set the standard for smaller proces-sors nationwide.

EPA tightenssulfur dioxide limits

WASHINGTON — Good news for asthmatics, chil-dren, the elderly and those who have breathing disorders.

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the Environmental Protection Agency on Thurs-day issued standards that lower the acceptable levels of sulfur dioxide emissions and increase the intervals the gas is monitored.

Under the new rules, sulfur dioxide levels will be cut nearly in half from the cur-rent 140 parts per billion averaged over 24 hours to 75 parts per billion measured hourly.

The new rules, which go into effect 60 days after publi-cation in the Federal Regis-ter, are designed to protect against short-term exposure to sulfur dioxide, produced when power plants or other industrial facilities burn coal as an energy source. The states will have to submit implementation plans by June 2011, and the first areas that won’t meet the standard identified the following year.

The EPA estimates that the rule change will result in $13 billion to $33 billion annu-ally in health cost savings and prevent 2,300 to 5,900 premature deaths and 54,000 asthma attacks a year.

Holloway suspect accusedof $250,000 extortion

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A Dutch man suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba was charged Thursday in Alabama with trying to extort $250,000 in return for disclos-ing the location of her body.

A criminal complaint by the U.S. Attorney in federal court in Birmingham also accused Joran van der Sloot in May 2010 of promising to describe the circumstances of Hollo-way’s death in return for the money. According to a sworn statement, van der Sloot got a partial payment of $15,000 wired to a Netherlands bank soon after.

He has long been a suspect in Aruba in the disappearance of Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Ala., who was on a graduation trip to Aruba with other seniors when she turned up missing as they flew home. Her mother still lives in Alabama.

The name of the person paying the money was not given. A call to U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance was not imme-diately returned. She said at

a news conference that her office would not be releasing any more details.

Van der Sloot was arrested Thursday in Chile as a sus-pect in the death of 21-year-old Stephany Flores of Peru. Her neck was broken Sunday, five years to the day after Hol-loway disappeared, and her body found by a maid Tues-day in a Lima hotel room reg-istered to van der Sloot. Police believe he met the University of Lima business student for the first time the previous night at a nearby casino.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich arrives at the Federal Court building Thursday in Chicago.

Rue McClanahan, ‘Golden Girl’ Blanche, dies at 76NEW YORK (AP) — Rue

McClanahan, the Emmy-win-ning actress who brought the sexually liberated Southern belle Blanche Devereaux to life on the hit TV series “The Golden Girls,” has died. She was 76.

Her manager, Barbara Law-rence, said McClanahan died Thursday morning at NewY-ork-Presbyterian Hospital of a brain hemorrhage.

She had undergone treat-ment for breast cancer in 1997 and later lectured to cancer support groups on “aging

gracefully.” In 2009, she had heart bypass surgery.

McCla-nahan had a n a c t ive career in off-Broadway and regional stages in the

1960s before she was tapped for TV in the 1970s for the key best-friend character on the hit series “Maude,” starring Beatrice Arthur. After that series ended in 1978, McCla-

nahan landed the role as Aunt Fran on “Mama’s Family” in 1983.

But her most loved role came in 1985 when she co-starred with Arthur, Betty White and Estelle Getty in “The Golden Girls,” a runaway hit that broke the sitcom mold by focusing on the foibles of four aging — and frequently eccen-tric — women living together in Miami.

“Golden Girls” aimed to show “that when people mature, they add layers,” she told The New York Times in

1985. “They don’t turn into other creatures. The truth is we all still have our child, our adolescent, and your young woman living in us.”

Blanche, who called her father “Big Daddy,” was a fre-quent target of roommates Dorothy, Rose and the outspo-ken Sophia (Getty), who would fire off zingers at Blanche such as, “Your life’s an open blouse.”

Fellow “Golden Girl” Betty White called McClanahan a close and dear friend.

“I treasured our relation-

ship,” said White, who was working in Los Angeles on the set of her TV Land comedy “Hot in Cleveland” on Thurs-day. “It hurts more than I even thought it would, if that’s even possible.”

McClanahan snagged an Emmy for her work on the show in 1987. In an Associ-ated Press interview that year, McClanahan said Blanche was unlike any other role she had ever played.

Mrs. Stephens was born in Memphis on Dec. 6, 1943. She attended White Station High School, graduating in 1961. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Belhaven College in 1965. She was a member of Port Gibson Bap-tist Church.

DEATHS

fine. Harris, who has a previ-ous felony conviction, faces a minimum two-year sentence and the same maximum 20 years and $10,000 fine. Harris was convicted by a jury in March of selling cocaine and has been serving a five-year sentence at the Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility in Walnut Grove.

“God’s going to be glori-fied,” said Cathy Caples, Porter’s mother, after the hearing. Caples said she had encouraged the boys to tell the truth and accept the con-sequences, do their time in prison and try to turn their lives around. “We’ve all been praying,” she said.

“One reason we agreed to reduce the charge to man-slaughter is because of the

ages of the defendants,” Smith said. “Maybe they can take advantage of the fact that they will not spend the rest of their lives in prison.”

Porter, Young and Harris claimed to be members of a gang known as K-3, the K reportedly for the north Vicksburg community of Kings, though none of the teens lives there. A series of robberies, including armed robberies and beatings, against pedestrians in the spring of 2009 also was linked to the gang. Several teens have pleaded guilty and been sentenced in those robberies.

One of those charged in the holdups was high school basketball star Sha’Kayla Caples, 19, 414 Ford Road, who lost a college scholar-

ship after her arrest. The robbery charges against her were dismissed and she was not indicted in return for her pledge to testify as a state’s witness in the trial of the trio. She is Gemini Porter’s cousin.

Turner was shot twice in the back shortly before 1 a.m., and was able to drive his vehicle about 100 yards before careening into the brick column of a home at 112 Alcorn Drive, a residen-tial street in Rolling Acres, a Vicksburg Housing Author-ity development.

The defendants planned to rob Turner, Smith said, and when he resisted them, “Their story was that they became frightened and pulled the trigger without

thinking.”Two eyewitnesses were

ready to testify, Smith said, and evidence to be intro-duced at the trial showed that all three defendants had guns.

During Porter’s plea before Patrick, both Young and Harris, dressed in orange jumpsuits issued by the Warren County Jail, sat at the side of the courtroom and gestured and mouthed comments to observers, occasionally smiling and laughing.

Porter, who has been out on bond, was handcuffed after his plea. Before being led by bailiffs to the jail, he hugged his mother and another woman.

“I credit it all to the hard

work of (Assistant District Attorney) Dewey Arthur,” Smith said after the hear-ing. “Dewey has spent a lot of time on this case. I think the defendants saw that he had brought together a very solid case, and was very well pre-pared to start on Monday.”

It was the second Warren County case in the past 30 days in which a murder charge was reduced to manslaughter.

Adam Rader, 27, 103 Cross St., pleaded guilty May 3 in the shooting death of Danny Miller, 25, on April 12, 2009. Rader will be sentenced June 11.

Saturdays and from 4 until 7 p.m. on Wednesdays through Aug. 28.

Last year, Meehan said, about 3,000 patrons strolled through the market on open-ing day.

“We’re hoping our opening day is as good as last year’s,” she said.

“We want our vendors to produce 80 percent of what they sell so we can have good quality items,” Meehan said.

The market is moving this year because of construction near the Levee Street Depot.

About nine spaces remain available for rent of $100 each, Meehan said.

Vendors who sell from their truck beds will have areas in the parking lots across from Catfish Row, just east of the city’s Riverfront Murals, and others will set up tables and umbrellas on the sidewalk.

Blues musicians Osgood and Blaque will be the entertainment for the open-ing market, said Meehan, who expects other artists to perform throughout the summer.

Buckner said Vicksburg has many opportunities for sportsmen with fish-ing and “second-to-none” turkey, duck and deer hunt-ing. “Hunting is a way of life down here,” he said.

Bill Seratt, executive direc-tor of the Vicksburg Conven-tion and Visitors Bureau, said the city attracts sports-men from across the country.

“There’s so much public hunting, fishing and nature-viewing land here that we have seen an increase in the number of nature-based, both consumptive and non-consumptive, visitors from all over the country,” he said. “We have produced a nature guide that has all the public lands within a 30- or 40-mile radius of Vicksburg. People request that from the web-site and call for our brochure all the time.”

Towns were ranked based

on more than 20 criteria, including the gun-friendli-ness of each town’s state, the number of huntable and fish-able species nearby and the town’s proximity to public land and waters. Quality-of-life factors, such as cost of living and the unemployment rates, were also considered.

Vicksburg ranked No. 146 last year in Outdoor Life, which has a circulation of 800,000. The other two Mis-sissippi towns on the list are Pascagoula (149th) and Greenville (168th). Rapid City, S.D. topped the list.

“Vicksburg should be No. 1 in this state,” said Jerry Johnson, owner of Chotard Landing Resort. “It has more to offer than Pascagoula ever dreamed of.”

Still, Johnson added, he thinks Vicksburg’s inclusion on the list might draw more sportsmen to the area.

closer to shore.Spotters who had been

seeing a few tar balls in recent days found a substan-tially larger number before dawn on the beaches of the Gulf Islands National Sea-shore and nearby areas, a county emergency offi-cial said. The park is a long string of connected barrier islands near Pensacola.

BP’s Chief Operating Offi-cer Doug Suttles said it will be later in the day before they know how much is being captured.

“There is flow coming up the pipe. Just now, I don’t know the exact rate,” Suttles said.

Robots a mile beneath the Gulf positioned the lid over the main pipe on the leak-ing well Thursday night. The robots shot chemical dis-persants — though it looked more like flares when illumi-nated a mile underwater — at the spewing oil.

To put the cap in place, BP had to slice off the pipe with giant shears after a diamond-edged saw became stuck. By doing so, they risked increas-ing the flow by as much as 20 percent, though Allen said it was still too soon to know whether that had happened.

“Once the containment cap is on and it’s working, we hope the rate is significantly reduced,” he said.

The jagged cut forced crews to use a looser fitting cap, but Allen did not rule out trying to again smooth out the cut with the diamond saw if offi-cials aren’t satisfied with the current cap.

Suttles said some of the oil still pouring out came from vents deliberately placed to keep icelike crystals from

forming that could block the funnel. BP will try to close those four vents in succes-sion and reduce the spill, he said.

The best chance to plug the leak is a pair of relief wells, which are at least two months away. The well has spit out between 21 million and 46 million gallons of oil since a rig exploded on April 20 about 50 miles from the Louisiana coast, killing 11 workers. BP was leasing the rig and is responsible to fix and clean up the spill.

In oil-soaked Grand Isle, La., Jason French might as well have painted a bulls-eye on his back. His mission was to be BP’s representative at a meeting for 50 or so resi-dents who had gathered at a church to vent.

“We are all angry and frus-trated,” he said. “Feel free tonight to let me see that anger. Direct it at me, direct it at BP, but I want to assure you, the folks in this com-munity, that we are work-ing hard to remedy the situation.”

Residents weren’t buying it.“Sorry doesn’t pay the

bills,” said Susan Felio Price, a longtime resident.

“Through the negligence of BP we now find ourselves trying to roller-skate up a mountain,” she said. “We’re growing really weary. We’re tired. We’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. Some-one’s got to help us get to the top of that mountain.”

Obama shared some of that anger ahead of his Gulf visit. He told CNN’s Larry King that he was frustrated and used his strongest language in assailing BP.

“I am furious at this entire

situation because this is an example where somebody didn’t think through the con-sequences of their actions,” Obama said. “This is imperil-ing an entire way of life and an entire region for poten-tially years.”

Meanwhile, newly disclosed internal Coast Guard docu-ments from the day after the explosion aboard the Deep-water Horizon rig indicated

that U.S. officials were warn-ing of a leak of 336,000 gal-lons per day of crude from the well in the event of a complete blowout.

The volume turned out to be much closer to that figure than the 42,000 gallons per day that BP first estimated. Weeks later it was revised to 210,000 gallons. Now, an estimated 500,000 to 1 million gallons of crude is believed

to be leaking daily.The Center for Public Integ-

rity, which initially reported the Coast Guard logs, said it obtained them from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., rank-ing Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The logs also showed early in the disaster that remote underwater robots were unable to activate the rig’s

blowout preventer, which was supposed to shut off the flow from the well in the event of such a catastrophic failure.

BP CEO Tony Hayward promised that the company would clean up every drop of oil and “restore the shoreline to its original state.”

“BP will be here for a very long time. We realize this is just the beginning,” he said.

THE VICKSBURG POST

SCHEDULEYOUTH SWIMMINGStamm Family InvitationalToday, 11 a.m., at City Pool

ON TV6 p.m. ESPNU - You’ll

need an expanded cable package or satellite dish to catch this weekend’s NCAA baseball regionals. New Mexico and Stanford high-light a regional triplehead-er on ESPNU, the sports gi-ant’s college network.

WHO’S HOTLAMAR ANTHONY

Cen-ter fielder went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, and scored the winning run in the Mississippi Titans’ 2-1 vic-tory over the Jackson 96ers on Sunday.

SIDELINESSelig won’t reversecontroversial call

NEW YORK (AP) — The imperfect game stands.

An umpire’s tears and admission he blew a call failed to move baseball commissioner Bud Selig to award Armando Galar-raga the perfect game he pitched. The play and its aftermath quickly became the talk of the sports world.

Selig said Thursday that Major League Baseball will look at expanded replay and umpiring, but didn’t specifically address umpire Jim Joyce’s botched call Wednesday that cost Galar-raga the perfect game.

A baseball official famil-iar with the decision con-firmed to The Associated Press that the call was not being reversed. The person spoke on condition of ano-nymity because that ele-ment was not included in Selig’s statement.

Joyce said he erred on what would’ve been the final out in Detroit, when he called Cleveland’s Jason Donald safe at first base. The umpire personally apologized to Galarraga and hugged him after the Tigers’ 3-0 win, then took the field at Comerica Park on Thursday in tears.

Manager Jim Leyland picked Galarraga to pres-ent Detroit’s lineup before Thursday’s game to set up the emotional meet-ing with Joyce. They shook hands, and the umpire gave the pitcher a pat on the shoulder.

“There’s no doubt he feels bad and terrible,” Galarraga said. “I have a lot of respect for the man. It takes a lot to say you’re sorry and to say in interviews he made a mistake.”

Lakerscruise inGame 1By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Ron Artest proved it in his opening-minute scuffle with Paul Pierce, tumbling to the ground with a vise grip on the Celtics star’s elbow.

Kobe Bryant empha-sized it one last time with a rub-it-in 3-pointer in the waning seconds of an NBA Finals opener that was already a rout.

These aren’t the same Los Angeles Lakers who got pushed around by their biggest rivals on the NBA’s biggest stage two years ago. They’re rougher and tougher — and surprisingly willing to play the Boston Celtics’ bad-tempered game.

Bryant scored 30 points, Pau Gasol had 23 points and 14 rebounds, and the defending champion Lakers did a remarkable job of the dirty work in a 102-89 vic-tory over Boston in Game 1 on Thursday.

Game 2 is Sunday night at Staples Center.

Artest scored 15 points after his tangle with Pierce in the opening minute of the 12th finals meeting between the NBA’s most decorated franchises. Artest and Pierce backed into each other with their elbows locked while battling for rebounding position. Both got technical fouls after they crashed to the court and got up ready to rumble.

“That’s not a tone that we want to set,” Artest claimed. “I was a little emotional, and I had a little bit of anxiety at that point, and I was fired up.”

Yet other Lakers were grateful for the tone, and they weren’t surprised Artest set it. The Lakers’ defensive stopper is their only new player this season, and he quickly showed Pierce — the 2008 finals MVP — that tro-phies won’t be quite so easy to earn against the Lakers this time.

“I knew it was going to be physical. That’s a given,” Gasol said. “After consecutive finals, we understand the nature of the game. We understand who our rival is, how they play. You’ve got to com-pete, and you’ve got to match that physicality, that aspect of the game to be successful.”

The Lakers over-whelmed the Celtics in the third quarter, taking a 20-point lead with sturdy defense and a quick-strike offense. Los Angeles out-rebounded the Celtics 42-31 and outscored them in the paint 48-30.

Bryant added seven rebounds and six assists to his 12th 30-point game of the postseason. Andrew Bynum scored 10 points on his injured right knee as the Lakers improved to 9-0 at home in the playoffs, with 12 straight postsea-son home wins dating to last year’s championship run.

Wilkerson earns national coaching awardBy Ernest [email protected]

The accolades keep pour-ing in for St. Aloysius.

Coach Clint Wilkerson was selected as the Ameri-can Baseball Coaches Asso-ciation’s Region 6 High School Coach of the Year on Thursday, the latest honor in a season full of them.

Region 6 includes Missis-sippi, Louisiana, Tennes-see, Oklahoma and Texas. Wilkerson and the seven other regional winners are also eligible for the ABCA’s national coach of the year award, which will be selected at the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., later this month and presented at the organiza-

tion’s con-vention in January in Nashville.

The ABCA has more than 6,200 members in all 50 states

and 22 coun-tries, and

includes coaches from high school, junior college and NCAA.

“It’s kind of surreal. I never thought about it like that,” Wilkerson said of being picked as the top coach in the five-state region. “To get this award is fantastic. I’ve just been blessed to be around a lot of good players and family, and people that supported

me.”Earlier this week Wilker-

son was named the Mis-sissippi Association of Coaches Class 1A Coach of the Year for leading St. Al to its second consecutive state championship. One of his players, pitcher Stephen Evans, was picked as the Class 1A Player of the Year and six others made the all-state team. Evans, Pierson Waring and Ryno Martin-Nez were also selected to play in the Crossroads Diamond Club 1A-2A-3A All-Star Game Saturday at Trustmark Park.

In six seasons at St. Al, Wilkerson has a 125-51 record. Fifty of those wins came in the past two years, when St. Al won back-to-

back Class 1A champion-ships. St. Al is the first team to repeat as Class 1A champs since Stringer won three in arow from 1991-93, and the first Warren County team since an ear-lier generation of Flashes won the Class B and BB titles in 1975 and ‘76.

St. Al went 22-8 this season and beat Myrtle in three games in the Class 1A finals.

“It’s just been a great year,” Wilkerson said. “We’ve had a lot of trials and tribulations. Look-ing back on it, providence settled in on our club. Good things come to people who work harder than every-body else, and that’s us.”

Ole Miss, Southern Miss turn to acesBy The Associated Press

OXFORD — Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco did not require a good night’s sleep, a staff meeting or extra scout-ing of his opponent to make his first big decision of the NCAA Tournament.

He’s pitching Drew Pomeranz.

Often in tournament play, a coach will consider a change in his pitching rotation, par-

ticularly against a lower-seeded opponent. The Rebels open NCAA play in the Char-lottesville Regional tonight against St. John’s, the Big East tournament champion.

“We’re going to go with Pomeranz. We need to win and move on. I don’t think we’re in a position to do

other things,” Bianco said.St. John’s will start fresh-

man right-hander Kyle Hansen, the MVP of the Big East tournament. He’s 7-1 with a 3.33 ERA, 76 strikeouts and 31 walks in 81 innings.

Pomeranz (8-2), the SEC Pitcher of the Year, leads the league in ERA (2.21), strike-outs (134) and opponent bat-ting average (.190).

St. Aloysius trio set for all-star gameBy Jeff [email protected]

St. Aloysius’ “big three” will get one more victory lap around Trustmark Park on Saturday.

Stephen Evans, the Class 1A Player of the Year, and all-state selections Pierson Waring and Ryno Martin-Nez will play in the 36th annual Crossroads Dia-mond Club All-Star Game.

Last week Evans, Waring and Martin-Nez combined to make the last out in the Flashes’ 18-1 romp over Myrtle to win the school’s second straight Class 1A championship.

Though the play ended their careers at St. Al, which saw them go 50-12 with two state titles over the past two years, the trio will remain together as members of the Hinds Com-munity College baseball team next season.

Yet it is the team they’ll play with Saturday that has all three Flashes excited.

The South 1A-2A-3A All-Stars feature eight players from three teams that won titles last week.

Besides the St. Al trio are three players from Class 3A champion Sumrall, which was ranked No. 1 in Mis-sissippi and is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation by USA Today. Heading the Sumrall contingent are Jackson Posey, Chase Lewallen and Chad Guice.

Richton, the Class 2A champ, will be represented by JaCoby Jones and Tilur Smith.

“This is a really good team,” Martin-Nez said during Thursday’s workout at the Hinds batting cage.

Evans finished the season with a 12-4 record and 86 strikeouts in 91 innings. Waring hit .365 with a county-best 52 runs scored, 36 RBIs and 18 stolen bases. The holiday will be short for both of them. They’ll return to the Jackson 96ers next week for a tournament

at Southern Miss. Martin-Nez, who went

5-for-8 in the state finals

after missing most of the regular season with a knee injury, said his summer schedule will be limited.

“I’ve got three jobs this

summer, which includes coaching the St. Al JV team. I might play in the wooden bat league,” he said.

The Montgomery Biscuits broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the top of the 10th inning Thursday and went on to beat the Mississippi Braves 3-0 at Trustmark Park.

Two infield singles, an RBI groundout by Rashad Eldridge and a throwing error led to Montgom-ery’s three runs.

M-Braves starter Mike Minor threw eight shutout innings but left with a no-decision. Minor gave up three hits and two walks while striking out 11. Four Montgomery pitchers combined on the five-hit shutout.

Struggling Oriolesfire manager Trembley

BALTIMORE — Dave Trembley was fired today as manager of the Baltimore Orioles, who have the worst record in the major leagues and are staggering toward a fran-chise-record 13th consecutive losing season.

Third base coach Juan Samuel was appointed interim manager by president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail, who hired Tremb-ley to take over on an interim basis for Sam Perlozzo on June 18, 2007.

The Orioles opened with 16 losses in 18 games, are 15-39 and coming off an 0-6 road trip in which they were outscored 34-8 in Toronto and at Yankee Stadium.

The 58-year-old Trembley had a 187-283 record with the Orioles.

TEnnisSoderling advancesto French Open final

PARIS — Robin Soderling advanced to the French Open final for the second year in a row by ral-lying past Tomas Berdych 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.

The No. 5-seeded Soderling hit 18 aces today, overcame 63 unforced errors and swept the final four games of the 3 1/2-hour match. It was only the fifth five-set win in the Swede’s career.

Soderling’s only other Grand Slam final was at the French Open last year, when he lost to Federer.

Also today, Venus and Serena Wil-liams won their fourth consecutive Grand Slam doubles title and 12th overall, beating Katarina Srebotnik and Kveta Peschke 6-2, 6-3.

The Vicksburg Post Friday, June 4, 2010 B3

RegionalsContinued from Page B1.

of 13.18 strikeouts per nine innings ranks third among all pitchers, first among starters.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether I pitch the first game or the second,” Pomer-anz said. “We need to win the first game no matter what. If I pitch the first game, then we see if (Aaron) Bar-rett can beat them in the second game. I don’t think it’s going to be a big deal.”

While Ole Miss goes with its undisputed ace, Southern Miss is turning to a No. 2 who has thrown like an ace.

Scott Copeland has a per-fect 11-0 record on a post-season-bound team, an accomplishment that would normally earn any player the highest of accolades.

But an undefeated regular season didn’t even make him the Conference USA Pitcher of the Year, and he’s often been overshadowed by team-mate Todd McInnis.

“I was shocked that he didn’t get conference pitcher

of the year,” designated hitter Adam Doleac said. “He’s been nothing but great the entire year.”

A pair of victories for Cope-land in a span of four days in the C-USA Tournament makes him one of the hot-test pitchers in the nation. The senior opened with an 8-2 win over Memphis and closed with 4 1/3 innings of hitless relief to help beat Rice 7-4 in the title game.

“They were beating every-body by 10, 12, 15 runs. Todd came out there and gutted it out and Copeland came

in and stepped it up,” USM catcher Travis Graves said. “You could tell he had that swag about him — ‘I’m going to go out there and do what I’m supposed to do. I’m going to give my team a chance to win.’ He did a great job.”

Copeland threw 12 1/3 scoreless innings in the tour-nament to earn MVP honors.

With his team playing this weekend in the NCAA Regional at Auburn, the 6-foot-4 Texan wasn’t shy about expressing his desire to throw today’s opener against Clemson.

“Oh yeah, I want the ball,” Copeland said. “Of course I want the ball. I’ll take the ball Saturday and Sunday (too).”

With McInnis battling a strained elbow, Copeland has become the unquestioned No. 1 pitcher for the Eagles.

“What you’re seeing in Scott Copeland is the mental side of his game is really starting to kick in,” South-ern Miss coach Scott Berry said. “And that means confi-dence. It means that he feels every time he goes out, he’s going to win and he’s going to dominate.”

Braves start long road trip with winLOS ANGELES (AP) —

Troy Glaus is picking up right where he left off in May, when he earned NL player of the month honors.

Glaus homered for the fourth time in five games and drove in Atlanta’s first two runs in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thurs-day night, helping the Braves start a 10-game road trip with their ninth straight victory.

Martin Prado opened the game with a double and scored on a two-out single by Glaus, ending a string of 31 consecu-tive scoreless innings by Dodg-ers pitchers — the team’s lon-gest since a 37-inning streak in July 1991. The 2002 World Series MVP made it 2-0 in the fourth with a towering drive into the lower seats in the left

field corner for his 10th home run.

“He’s definitely been the MVP of this club so far,” team-mate Chipper Jones said. “He’s confident. I mean, he’s walk-ing up there thinking he can do damage against anybody right now. It doesn’t matter what your name is or what you throw up there. He’s just locked in. And when he gets a mistake, he’s not missing it. He’s hitting it for a double or a home run. He’s coming through in all the big spots where we need a big two-out base hit to score a run.”

The Braves’ streak is their best since a 15-game stretch during the 2000 season — which was the longest by an

NL team since the 1951 New York Giants (16 straight) and the longest by the Braves’ franchise since it moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966. The Dodgers ended it in the finale of a three-game series at Los Angeles.

The Braves were last in the NL East and 6 1/2 games back on May 18, but now lead the division by three games over the Philadelphia Phillies — whom they swept just before coming out West.

“There hasn’t been a differ-ence, as far as how we come to the field every day,” rookie right fielder Jason Heyward said. “We look to go out every day and treat it as a new day, then go out and have fun. That’s been the mindset, because we all understand as

a team that there’s going to be ups and downs in a season.”

Kris Medlen (3-1) took a three-hit shutout into the eighth and doubled home a run. He was charged with three runs — two earned — and six hits in a career-high 7 1/3 innings, striking out three and walking none in his ninth big league start.

In the only other National League games Thursday, Houston beat Washington 6-4 and Florida edged Milwaukee 3-2.

In the American League, it was the New York Yankees 6, Baltimore 3; Detroit 12, Cleve-land 6; Oakland 9, Boston 8; the Los Angeles Angels 5, Kansas City 4; the Chicago White Sox 4, Texas 3; and Seattle 4, Min-nesota 1.

Tenn. might honor Hayes with highwayLegendary late soul musician Isaac Hayes may

get a commemorative stretch of highway in his home state of Tennessee.

A measure to designate a section of Interstate 40 the “Isaac Hayes Memorial Highway” passed the state Senate unanimously Thursday. The House approved it without opposition in April.

The commemorative stretch would be near Memphis, where Hayes had a home until he died of a stroke in 2008 at the age of 65. He was raised in Tipton County, north of Memphis.

The bill now goes to Gov. Phil Bredesen, who is not expected to oppose it.

The deep-voiced singer won Academy and Grammy awards for his “Theme From Shaft.” He was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. He also acted in movies and provided the voice of Chef on the animated TV show “South Park.”

Carradine’s widow files lawsuitDavid Carradine’s widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit Thurs-

day against a French company handling the actor’s last film, claiming it failed to provide proper services to protect him.

The lawsuit is against MS2 S.A., a French com-pany responsible for the production of the movie “Stretch.”

The lawsuit claims the company promised to provide Carradine the best possible amenities and an assistant to help him navigate Bangkok but left him behind for dinner on the night be-fore the actor was found dead.

“Defendants were negligent in failing to fol-low industry standard and provide David Car-radine, the performer, with sufficient assistant

during the course of filming ‘Stretch’ in Bangkok, Thailand,” the lawsuit states.

Carradine, star of the popular “Kung Fu” television series and films such as “Kill Bill,” had been in the city only three days. The lawsuit also claims Carradine’s widow, Anne, has run into diffi-culties collecting on an insurance policy that MS2 was required to have for the actor.

Carradine, 72, was found hanging naked last June in a suite at a luxury Bangkok hotel. The lawsuit does not offer any addition-al details about Carradine’s death. Thai authorities have never released the results of their investigation.

Coleman’s parents want his remainsThe estranged parents of former child TV star Gary Coleman

are seeking custody of his body and want it returned to the star’s boyhood home in Illinois, his former manager said Thurs-day.

Coleman died May 28 in Utah from a brain hemorrhage at age 42.

His former manager and family spokesman Victor Perillo said Coleman’s parents, Sue and Willie Coleman, are the legal custo-dians of his body because Coleman was divorced from his wife, Shannon Price, in 2008. It was Price who ordered that Gary Cole-man be taken off life support.

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokesman Janet Frank said Price was named in an advanced health care directive that allowed her to make health care decisions for Gary Coleman when he couldn’t make them for himself.

His parents have said they learned about his hospitalization and death from media reports and that they had wanted to rec-oncile with their son before his death.

Microchip helps family find dogA family on New York’s Long Island is celebrating the return of

a little white dog that went missing four years ago.The fluffy dog is named Cooper. He was dropped off about

a month ago at an animal shelter in Islip, 35 miles east of New York City. He’d been found on a street in Brentwood, about 15 miles from his home in Lloyd Harbor. He’d been reported miss-ing in 2006.

Shelter supervisor Joanne Daly said a scanner located a micro-chip ID under Cooper’s skin.

Cooper’s breed is called coton de Tulear. Except for matted hair, he was in good condition.

Owner Gwynne Wicks said Cooper is “very happy to be home.”


Woman fears being watched by ghosts of loved onesDear Abby: I am in my 40s

and have never lost anyone close to me. Unfortunately, my darling mother-in-law has ter-minal cancer. I am now preoc-cupied that people’s spirits are near us after they die.

Please don’t laugh, but it gives me the creeps. I don’t want to think my mother-in-law will watch me making love with my husband, that my father will watch me in the bathroom, or that my mother will be criti-cal of my spending more time with my kids than cleaning the house as she did.

Am I crazy to think I might not have any privacy after my loved ones die? — Spooked in Spokane

Dear Spooked: Calm down. The departed sometimes “visit” those with whom their souls were intertwined, but usually it’s to offer strength, solace and reassurance during difficult times. If your mother-in-law’s spirit visits you while you’re intimate with her son, it

will be only to wish you and her son many more years of close-ness and happiness in your marriage.

As to your parents, when they travel to the hereafter, I am sure they’ll have more pleasant things with which to occupy their time than spying on you. So hold a good thought and quit worrying.

Dear Abby: I have a ques-tion regarding gift giving. If you receive a gift of clothing (with a receipt) from someone and the garment doesn’t fit, is it your responsibility to exchange it, or should you return it to the gift-giver, explain that it’s the wrong size and ask the person to return it?

I gave my sister an outfit that didn’t fit her. She immediately gave the gift back and asked me to return it. — Lori in Foun-tain Valley, Calif.

Dear Lori: It is the recipi-ent’s responsibility to return the item. That way she (or he) can be sure the replacement will be the right size, the right color or the right style. To give you your gift back and expect you to take responsibility for it was presumptuous.

Dear Abby: A friend of more than 40 years, “Myra,” delivered a letter to my physician outlin-ing her observations of what she claims were “changes” in me. I was called into my doc-tor’s office to respond.

Myra has also told me I should see a psychiatrist. I am disap-pointed that a friend would say these things about me, and I don’t think she should have contacted my doctor without telling me. I have asked others if they have noticed any dra-matic changes in me and no

one else has.Myra may have my best inter-

ests at heart, but I am upset about this, to say the least. Am I wrong to feel that she has overstepped her boundaries? — Perfectly Fine in Ohio

Dear Perfectly Fine: Your friend must have been extremely concerned about you to have taken the step she did. And I wish you had men-tioned in your letter WHY she thinks you should see a psy-chiatrist. If you have no family nearby with whom she could discuss her concerns, it’s pos-sible that she did what she did out of love for you, so please try to forgive her.

P.S. Was what she did out of character for her? If so, con-sider discussing it with her family — or physician.

DEAR ABBY

Doctors can’t pinpoint cause of man’s seizuresDear Dr. Gott: I am writing

to find out what you think we should do, because all the spe-cialists are baffled about my husband’s illness. Six months ago, he began to have seizures for no known reason. He was in ICU for three weeks with a diabetic specialist, an endocri-nologist and a neurologist on his case. They ran every test possible to rule out this or that for the cause of the seizures. All tests came back negative. His glucose is under control. He continues to have “spells,” with symptoms of lead feet, sweating legs, headache and the smell and taste of burnt beef in his mouth.

He takes synthroid, 175 mcg, once a day. I am wondering and have asked if there is a possibility of him having a reaction to this medication. It falls on deaf ears.

Last night, I called the ambu-lance, as he was having one of those spells again and could not walk. His speech and thought processes were slow. When the EMTs arrived, he seemed normal. Four hours of observa-tion confirmed that everything

was normal. This is not normal for him and never has been. I was questioned why I was wasting precious time calling an ambulance for something like this. I responded I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose what is happening. We have done everything the doctors have required and still want answers as to the cause. I feel they are treating the effects without checking into the pos-sibility of it being a reaction to medication.

Dear Reader: Seizures are commonly brought on by sudden, abnormal electrical activity of the brain. Causes include head injury, drug over-dose, brain tumor, accidental poisoning, low blood sugar or sudden lack of oxygen to the brain. They are divided pri-marily into two categories

— focal or partial. Focal sei-zures occur on both sides of the brain, partial seizures on one side. They may present with muscle spasms, unusual sensations (such as your hus-band’s taste of burnt beef), loss of consciousness and more. In some cases, the cause is never identified, but the activ-ity doesn’t necessarily repre-sent epilepsy.

I would like to address your husband’s daily use of syn-throid. When was he diag-nosed as being hypothyroid? Is there a correlation between the time he went on the medi-cation and the time the seizure activity began? The dosage is a rather strong one. Was he begun on a lower amount and increased over time? Has he been tested on a timely basis? The inert ingredients in syn-throid include confectioners’ sugar, acacia, lactose mono-hydrate, magnesium stearate, povidone and talc. The dose also includes FD&C blue No. 1 Aluminum Lake and D&C red Nos. 27 and 30 Aluminum Lake dyes. Perhaps he is respond-ing to the coloring. Were he on

a lesser dose, the dyes would vary in intensity.

If he had a CT scan to rule out a brain tumor, didn’t sus-tain a head injury within the past month or so, hasn’t been accidentally poisoned, and can’t attribute the activity to a recent occurrence, perhaps the medication is the cause of the seizure activity.

I recommend he ask his phy-sician for a little indulgence. If the medication isn’t vital, perhaps they can compromise on a trial without it. He might consider diet modification — include cabbage, Brussels sprouts, lima beans, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, bananas, and supplemental vitamins B and C. Fats, sugars, red meats and eggs should be consumed in moderation. And he should exercise 15 to 20 minutes every day unless his doctor says otherwise.

If no improvement is found, request a referral to a new neu-rologist for a second opinion.

TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION

Dr. Wallace: I’ve wanted to go out on a date for a long time, but my parents said to wait until I turned 16. Well, that day finally arrived last week. I have a boyfriend who is 17, but we have never been out on a date. He has the use of his mom’s car, so that means my boyfriend and I will start dating like “normal” teens: going to “civilized” par-ties, movies, dinner after dark, bowling and a ton of other fun and exciting things.

My parents (old school) have set an 11 p.m. curfew and I can only date on Fridays and Saturdays. I can live with dat-ing only on weekends, but the 11 p.m. curfew is unac-ceptable. I would like a mid-night curfew. I’m an honor student, teach Sunday school for young children and am to-tally reliable and honorable. What can I do to get my par-ents to relent and make my curfew midnight? Please don’t say, “Compromise and agree on an 11:30 p.m. curfew.” They have already said no to that. My parents read your column every day and like your phi-losophy regarding teenagers, so I’m hoping you will take my side on this “debate.” I have gone on two dates and found it difficult to be home at 11 p.m. sharp, but I did. — Name-less, Cumberland, Md.

Nameless: All dates should never end at a set curfew. Some should end earlier and a few later. It all depends on the type of date. That’s why I pre-fer agreeing on a curfew for each date. This will allow you to have an enjoyable social life and be home at a time that satisfies your parents.

P.S.: Parents are impressed when the teen returns home

from an enjoyable date earlier than curfew, especially those parents who stay up until their teen is safely home.

Dr. Wallace: I am very self-conscious about my weight. I try to eat healthy, nutritious foods. That means a lot of fruits and vegetables. I stay away from breads because I’ve heard that they are ter-ribly fattening. This is a pain because I really like bread. Please tell me how bad bread is. Maybe I can sneak in a slice or two per week, if it’s not too bad. — Sally, Columbus, Ohio.

Sally: Many people believe the myth that bread is fatten-ing, but bread is really a nu-tritious food that should be included in your daily diet. Bread contains an abundance of complex carbohydrates that supply long-lasting ener-gy. It is also loaded with fiber, a much-needed substance that helps in preventing cer-tain cancers.

One slice of bread contains about 100 calories. You should include two or three slices of whole-grain bread in your daily diet, but watch what you put on the bread. Butter and other spreads can be high in calories and should be added in moderation.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — The probabilities for find-ing obstacles in your path are greater than usual. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Be careful not to pass up a good idea just because it comes from someone who hasn’t had much experience. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — An obligation you failed to fulfill could rear its ugly head again. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If things should not go as smoothly as you’d like be-tween you and your mate, don’t be too quick to place all the blame on him/her. There’s a good chance you’ll be more at fault.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s admirable to want to ac-complish a lot, but be realistic about how much you actually can achieve. If you go after too much, you might have to leave some things half-fin-ished.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Take into consideration who will be on the guest list before accepting an invitation. If you don’t know anybody, or some-one you don’t like is certain to be there, you might not enjoy yourself.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There is a strong likelihood that an unpleasant incident could occur outside of the house that will prey on your mind. Be careful not to come home and take it out on the family.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re not necessarily one of the more optimistic signs, and if you’re in a foul mood it won’t take much for your reactions to be nothing but negative.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Unless it is inescapable, it would be smart not to take on any more large financial bur-dens at this time. Avoid mak-ing unnecessary purchases of any kind unless you can com-fortably take care of them.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If your companions have rea-

son to believe you are taking them for granted, they might intentionally do things to make you show what you re-ally think of them. Prove that you care.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be a nice guy/gal. Today might be one of those times when you won’t be able to

turn down someone’s plea for help, and end up doing all of his/her job.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This might be one of those times when it is best to keep to yourself any project you have on the drawing board. Those who are a bit critical could put a big damper on what you’re trying to do.
