Former city worker faces embezzlement probeBy Steve [email protected]

A city employee who resigned July 30, days after being suspended without pay, is being investigated by the State Auditor’s Office for embezzlement, the Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen con-firmed Monday.

Katrina McCloud had worked for the city since Nov. 10, 2008. She started in the city clerk’s office as a deputy clerk, and on July 20, 2009, transferred to the mayor’s office as an administrative assistant. Her pay increased from $12 an hour to $13 with the move, however, she was transferred back to her old job in the city clerk’s office on Dec. 7, 2009. Her pay remained the same.

Mayor Paul Winfield said he had no comment on the investigation, but stressed McCloud handled no public funds while employed in his office. The mayor said McCloud’s move to his office was temporary, and she requested the return to the city clerk’s office.

South Ward Alderman Sid Beau-man and North Ward Alderman Michael Mayfield said they decided to suspend McCloud on July 27 when “discrepancies with some

deposits” were uncovered. Winfield was out of town at the time, May-field said. McCloud resigned three days later.

The mayor and aldermen declined to elaborate on the time frame of the discrepancies or the amount of money in question.

“We turned it all over to the State Auditor’s Office, and we really won’t know anything until they complete their investigation,” said Beauman, who added McCloud

never admitted to any wrongdoing. Lisa Shoemaker, director of com-

munications for State Auditor Stacey Pickering’s office, said she could not comment on an ongoing investigation. Beauman said there is no internal investigation being conducted by the city.

The city clerk’s office accepts from the public and businesses var-ious fees for permits and pays some of the city’s bills, handling much of the city’s $31.1 million budget.

Meanwhile, on July 29, former TV23 Director Thomas “Barry” Graham was placed on five years of probation, fined $1,500 and ordered to pay about $30,000 in restitution to the city and state after pleading guilty to a felony embezzlement charge.

Graham is to pay the city $21,714.59 for electronics and audio equipment he admitted buying with city funds between November 2009 and September 2009. In addi-tion, he also is to pay $4,455 to the city for interest on the stolen items. With court costs and the cost of the investigation factored in, total restitution owed is $30,882.37. The city filed a $28,530.68 claim with its insurer last week to cover its losses in the case.

‘We turned it all over to the State Auditor’s Office, and we really won’t know anything until they complete their investigation.’

The Goo is Going

A gooey slick tops the sewage lagoon at Ceres Research and Industrial InterplexDaviD Jackson•The Vicksburg PosT

Sludge remover at Ceres todayBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

A contract sludge remover was expected to begin work in ear-nest today to take solid materials off part of the sewage lagoon at Ceres Research and Industrial Interplex.

Crews with Dardanelle, Ark.-based Terra Renewal began setup work Monday at cell 1 of the lagoon, nearest the Tyson Foods chicken products plant, said Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson. Project officials with Terra expect the job to last less than a week if there are no interruptions.

A buildup of about 60,000 gallons of some combination of grease and other by-products from the chicken plant was cited

as the source of a foul stench in the air around the east side of the Flowers industrial park.

Property owners along Free-town, Henry Lake and Young-ton roads complained bit-terly to Warren County Port Commission officials, com-pany bosses and the Missis-sippi Department of Environ-mental Quality about the odor. Samples were taken from the lagoon last week by ST Envi-ronmental Services, which operates the lagoon, and sent to an independent lab.

Tyson’s permit to pretreat its wastewater is valid through November 2014.

Tyson’s plant opened in 1995 after the company purchased McCarty Foods, the site’s original tenant. It has operated the longest out of three remaining private businesses at Ceres — Tyson, Vicksburg Metal Products and Magnolia Metal & Plas-tic. A Mississippi Department of Transportation regional head-quarters and the Mississippi National Guard also operate at the site.

Trucks from Terra Renewal are posed to clean the lagoon Monday.

Ameristar, countysettle tax dispute,to split differenceBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

Ameristar’s property tax bill for 2010 will split the difference between what the casino paid before an ambitious upgrade became taxable and what the Tax Assessor’s Office wanted the company to pay before nearly eight months of litiga-tion ended with a settlement accepted Monday.

Vicksburg’s largest casino and Warren County agreed on values for its main gaming area, hotel and addi-tions completed in 2008 that translate to $3.3 million in property taxes for 2010. It’s a savings of more than $1 mil-lion compared to the coun-ty’s calculations before its objections went to court last December, but an increase of nearly $1 million since 2008 when most of a $150 million renovation was completed.

The negotiated settlement will force a $68,000 decrease

Plug pulled on ‘Klondyke’over ‘too much opinion’

By Danny Barrett [email protected]

“Live from the Klondyke,” a radio show broadcast from the North Washing-ton Street eatery, went silent Monday after its station owner canceled the program due to recent show topics deemed too critical of city government.

On-air comments by David Day, the restaurant’s owner and host of Vicksburg’s only call-in talk show, was the principal reason the show has been ended for now, said Mark Jones, owner/operator of WVBG, which aired the show on its 1490 AM station.

A man reporting to work at 4:30 this morning off U.S. 80 was forced at gunpoint to drive to an ATM in a futile attempt to withdraw money before the robber stole his vehicle, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

The victim said he was driving into the 100 block of Business Park Drive when the robber — described as a black male, 5-foot-10, 130 pounds and wear-ing red shorts, no shirt and brandishing a handgun — approached him, demanded money, which the victim did not have, and forced him to drive to a nearby bank.

When the victim was unable to withdraw money, the robber told him to return to the victim’s place of employment, where the robber fled in the victim’s vehicle, a beige 2000 Chev-rolet Silverado pickup, Pace said.

The victim’s wallet and cell phone also were stolen, Pace said.

No injuries were reported.An early-morning

attempted armed robbery and assault were reported Aug. 12 in the city at a dough-nut store on Halls Ferry Road. In that case, the sus-pect hit the worker who was opening the store in the head with a gun, requiring medi-cal treatment at the scene. Nothing was reported miss-ing, and no arrest was made.

Business Park Drive is just less than a mile east of the U.S. 80 and Mississippi 27 intersection.

Stolen vehicle found;suspect loses deputies

Warren County deputies are looking for a suspect they believe stole a vehicle from Hinds County.

Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said the sus-pect abandoned and fled from a 1999 blue Oldsmobile Aurora on Gibson Road after deputies attempted to pull the vehicle over for a traf-fic violation in the Oak Park neighborhood.

The vehicle was deter-mined to belong to a resident of Edwards who did not know the vehicle had been stolen.

A description of the suspect was unavailable.

Medical call endsin man’s being jailed

A Vicksburg man who sought medical help from a clerk in a convenience store was recognized by a Warren County deputy who accom-panied an ambulance to the scene.

Willie Gladwell, 39, no address available, was arrested on a city warrant at 1 a.m. at East Clay Street and Mississippi 27 after the deputy recognized him as a suspect in an armed robbery and vehicle theft, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

Gladwell, who was treated for an ankle injury, is accused of robbing a man at gunpoint in the 3600 block of Washington Street on July 29 and stealing a 2001 Ford Ranger, which was recovered later that day, Stewart said.

He was being held today without bond at the Warren County Jail.

City woman jailedin Halls Ferry burglary

A woman was in the Warren County Jail this morning charged with burglary.

Pamela Stewart, 43, who gave police a Vicksburg address that was not known at E-911 as being valid, was arrested at 8 a.m. Monday at her former partner’s home, said Lt. Bobby Stew-art of the Vicksburg Police Department. She is accused of breaking into the home, said Lt. Stewart, who is not related to the suspect.

Pamela Stewart was charged with burglary and breaking and entering a house in the 4400 block of Halls Ferry Road, Bobby Stewart said.

She was being held on a $5,000 bond.

Gun, computer, GPSamong missing items

Two residential burglaries and an auto burglary were reported in the city Monday.

A laptop valued at $515 was reported missing at 3 p.m. from a home in the 2600 block of Roosevelt Avenue.

A Smith & Wesson 22-cali-ber pistol valued at $500, a stereo value at $200 and $500 were reported missing at 10:30 p.m. from a home in the 2500 block of Confederate Avenue.

A Garmin GPS unit valued at $200 was reported miss-ing at 8:30 p.m. from a 2008 Toyota Avalon in the 100 block of Scenic Drive.

Jewelry, TV, cameramissing in county

Two residential burglaries were reported in the county Thursday.

Three handguns, a pair of binoculars, two jewelry boxes and an assortment of jewelry were reported missing at 4:28 p.m. from a home in the 8200 block of Oak Ridge Road.

A 17-inch TV valued at $250, a laptop valued at $1,000, a digital camera valued at $700, a 38-caliber revolver valued at $100, a pistol valued at $450, two rifles valued at $1,300, a jewelry box contain-ing jewelry valued at $3,000 and $425 cash were reported missing at 7:05 p.m. from a home in the 7700 block of Youngton Road.

Trucker treatedafter I-20 wreck

A Pearl man whose over-turned 18-wheeler brought eastbound Interstate 20 traffic to a crawl for hours Monday was treated and released from River Region Medical Center, spokesman Allen Karel said.

Jerry Keyes Jr., 64, was exiting from U.S. 61 North about 9:45 a.m. when the accident occurred, said Vicksburg police officer Jonathan Tillman. The exit ramp and one lane of the interstate were shut down and reopened about 3 p.m., Tillman said.

Keyes was hauling scrap metal, which had to be cleared from the ramp and interstate.

BOIL wATER

DavID JaCkSoN•The Vicksburg PosT

By Steve [email protected]

The city took another step Monday toward requesting $2,453,654 in federal funds to install a second major water line from the treatment plant on Haining Road to serve its roughly 10,000 customers.

At a called meeting, the Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a letter of intent and partner-ship agreement with the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, which administers the com-petitive Section 592 funds the city is seeking. If approved, the city would be responsible for a 25 percent match of $841,821, and plans to use charges from its water service to cover the match.

Public Works director Bubba Rainer said he does not know when the city will find out if it will receive the funding, but anticipates word will come down before the end of the

fiscal year, Sept. 30. The project would see a

30-inch main installed from the plant on Haining Road east to North Washington Street, where it would head south toward downtown before run-ning east up the steep banks near the historic Fort Nogales site. It would then be routed south beneath Fort Hill Drive and eventually tie into exist-ing lines downtown. In total, 14,000 feet of 30-inch pipe would be installed.

A second feed would prevent future disruptions in water service to the city if the single main — located about 2 1/2 miles from the well field and treatment tanks north of town to its initial branching point around Jackson Street down-town — breaks. That hap-pened in 2006 and was nearly experienced earlier this year.

A land shift March 26 near the MV Mississippi at Jack-son and Washington streets threw a 36-inch water main

in jeopardy and nearly com-promised water service to the entire city. The Corps funded a $1.36 million rerouting of the line around the shift site via Main, Walnut and Jack-son streets.

Though the city has roughly 10,000 water customers it serves, Rainer noted the exist-ing main actually serves about 45,000 customers when out-lying water districts are fac-tored in.

HOUSTON (AP) — Fed-eral investigators seeking the cause of the rig explo-sion that led to BP’s massive Gulf oil spill focused Monday on communication and chain of command, wondering at times whether the key play-ers knew enough to handle an emergency.

They also questioned whether a piece of failed equip-ment designed to prevent the disaster was inspected on schedule. Details about the so-called blowout preventer, which was supposed to lock in place to prevent a spill in the case of an explosion, will be important as investigators

pull it from the seabed.Testimony about the

moments after the spill, when a worker told the rig manager “she just blew, she just blew,” will also be key to understand-ing what happened April 20. That’s when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 workers and subsequently spewing 206 million gallons of oil into the Gulf.

Two men who testified Monday were key to the suc-cessful operation of the com-plex deepwater rig. But Neil Cramond, who oversees BP’s marine operations in the Gulf, acknowledged he rarely had contact with Paul John-

son, who managed the rig for owner Transocean Ltd., which leased it to BP.

Cramond also testified that captains of rigs like the Deep-water Horizon are ultimately responsible for crew safety and environmental matters, but are not always involved in decisions about how to deal with drilling operations and potential risks.

Members of the joint U.S. Coast Guard-Bureau of Energy Management, Regu-lation and Enforcement inves-tigative panel are trying to figure out what caused the explosion and how regulation, safety and oversight can be

improved to prevent another such catastrophe.

Asked if the Deepwater Hori-zon was properly manned at the time of the explosion that killed 11 workers, Crammond replied: “I have no information that would say otherwise.”

Johnson, whose responsi-bilities included training and personnel, was not on board when it exploded. He said he only visited the rig three days each month and was not able to monitor real-time data from it at his location on shore.

The blast knocked out com-munication between him and the captain and offshore instal-lation manager, he testified.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Two African elephants from the Jackson, Miss., Zoo will have new homes at the Nashville Zoo.

Juno, 31, and Rosie, 39, will join Nashville’s two African elephants — Sukari, 26, and Hadari, 28. All are females.

Zoo President Rick Schwartz said he hopes they will be in

Nashville by year’s end.Dave Wetzel, deputy director

of the Jackson Zoo, said the zoo has wanted a larger facil-ity for the elephants for years, but, at a cost of $8 million to $10 million, it isn’t feasible.

“To be honest, the money just wasn’t here right now,” Wetzel said. Staff will move the pair when it’s cooler.

When should I start toilet training my child?

Answer: Do not start toilet training until both you and your child areready. You are ready when you are able to devote the time and ener-gy necessary to encourage your child on a daily basis for at least 3months. Your child is ready when he or she can signal that the diaperis wet or soiled, or when your child is able to say that he or she wouldlike to go to the potty. This usually occurs when a child is 18 to 24months of age. However, it is not uncommon for a child to still be indiapers at 2 1/2 to 3 years of age.

My insurance plan has some treatment exclu-sions. What does that mean??

Answer: Some dental plans may not cover certain procedures per-formed in a dental office. You should be aware that these treatmentexclusions should not determine your need for treatment. Your den-tist can help you decide what treatment is best for you.

Just because your insurance plan doesn't cover certain proceduresdoesn't mean you don't need that treatment. If your dentist suggeststreatment that is excluded on your dental plan, ask him/her toexplain why you need this treatment and how much it will cost. Thedecision for needed treatment should be made by you and your den-tist, not by a list of exclusions.

Answer: Chronic otitis media (middle ear infection) istypically caused by either a bacterial or viral infection

that invades the middle ear when there is improper drainage of the lymph sys-tem in the neck, or when the muscle that is supposed to keep bacteria orviruses from entering the Eustachian tubes doesn’t work correctly. Chronicinfections occur more commonly in young children because the shape andlength of the Eustachian tubes are smaller than adults’ making it easier forbacteria to invade, and adults spend more time upright than children do,which encourages better drainage. Although the standard medical treatmentof surgically placing tubes in the ears for drainage of fluid build-up is ofteneffective, it does not address the underlying cause of the infection, which isthe abnormal mechanical functioning of the lymphatics, muscles and nerves.Chiropractic addresses this by restoring the normal function of the tissues ofthe neck allowing normal drainage of the ears and neck lymphatics. This cansignificantly reduce or completely eliminate otitis media in most childrenwithout the use of surgery.

How do I know if my grandchildren are listen-ing to their music at a safe volume?

Answer: Even though both can hurt a lot, strainsare not as serious as sprains. Because a strain is

pain in the muscle, it may start to hurt immediately or several hourslater. The area will be tender and swollen and may also appearbruised. A sprain will probably start to hurt right away. Usually theinjury will swell and look bruised, it may be hard to walk or movethe injured part, and you may even think you have broken a bone. Itcan be hard to tell the difference between a sprain and a broken bone,so it’s often a good idea to see a doctor. When you get home, remem-ber RICE. It stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. After 24hours, it’s OK to use warm compresses or a heating pad to sootheaching muscles. Take any pain medications that have been ordered byyour doctor.

Answer: I have heard that question before, in the office. There arethree easy ways to identify the sound level. If you look on the side ofthe device you might find a wheel to determine how loud it is. If youcan hear it standing beside them or you call their names and theydon’t answer it is up too loud. If you ask them to let you listen andit is almost loud enough to make your eyes cross or they turn it downbefore they give it to you, it's too loud.

Answer: When a doctor writes a prescription for a maintenancemedication, he or she determines the number of refills allowed.Certain medications require regular checkups and possibly laborato-ry tests by your doctor to ensure that: • you are taking the medicine properly. • it is working as it should and helping you the way it is intended. • it is not causing unexpected or life-threatening side effects.

State and federal guidelines regulate the number of refills you canget without having to recontact the doctor, as well as the period oftime during which you can refill a prescription. If you have a phar-macy benefit as part of your health care coverage, you also may haverestrictions on how many refills you can get and over what period oftime.

Stonings at ground zero — that’ll be the day, right? The concept has no manifestation beyond the cold sweat of a dark-hours nightmare. Still, there’s something worth glean-ing from the not-so-free association process that inspired it.

It clicked when I read a riveting investigation by Christine Brim at BigPeace.com into scrubbed website material of the Cordoba Initiative, the Internet home of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, he of the ground zero Mosque. In this trove of information, curiously deleted from the current Cordoba Initiative website, lie key clues to Rauf’s long-term program, the Sha-riah Index Project, whose “goal,” as stated in the “hidden” material, is to “define, interpret and implement the concept of the Islamic state in modern times.”

What is Shariah? It is the body of sacred laws that regulates public and private life in Islam. How does the Shariah Index Project fit into the planned mosque complex? Very easily, argues Brim. After account-ing for the 13-story building’s stated uses, from its mosque to its athletic

and other facilities, Brim identified six undesignated stories. That’s a lot of empty office space. But with its global spread, the Shariah Index Project just might be the perfect tenant.

Since 2006, Rauf has coordinated a series of international meetings with Shariah experts ranging from Muslim Brotherhood associates to Iran’s Mohammad Javad Larijani, “who,” as Brim reports, “has justified torture of Iranian dissidents as legal punishments under Shariah law.”

That’s not all Larijani, who heads Iran’s Human Rights Council (for real), has justified. He has also justi-

fied Shariah-sanctioned stoning. As Anne Bayefsky recently reported, Rauf’s picture with Larijani (and former U.S. ambassador to the Orga-nization of the Islamic Conference Sada Cumber) disappeared from the Cordoba Initiative website, too.

So much to hide — but the Shariah is out of the bag.

An excellent benchmark of Sha-riah’s remarkable and, think of it, post-9/11 progress is that none of the above manifestations of Islamic law — all designed to sync society with Islamic practice — are shocking to us. Indeed, marital rape, permissi-ble in Shariah culture wherever it

spreads, got a “religious” pass from a New Jersey judge last month (over-turned by an appellate court). Death by stoning, however, still seems to take everybody’s breath away as those who read about last week-end’s Taliban stoning in Afghani-stan, I hope, would agree.

In brief, a couple — he, 25, married and with 2 kids; she, 19 — eloped before being lured to return to their town. They were then seized by the Taliban, who, as the New York Times reported, convened a Shariah court of mullahs from surrounding villages.

Verdict? Guilty. More than 200 local villagers, including family members, proceeded to stone the couple to death. “People were very happy seeing this,” a local told the paper, who described a “festive” atmosphere.

“Let me tell you that according to Shariah law, if someone com-mits a crime like that, we have our courts and we deal with such crimes based on Islamic law,” said a Tali-ban spokesman. The paper noted: “Perhaps most worrisome were

signs of support for the action from mainstream religious authorities in Afghanistan.”

I promised a study in free associa-tion. Imam Rauf’s efforts to advance Shariah law, which sanctions ston-ing, have involved Iran’s “human rights” chief, a public advocate of stoning. What next sprang to mind was the polished and educated form of Tariq Ramadan, the celebrated European Muslim “moderate” and grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna. Why? Infamously, Ramadan has refused to condemn stoning, calling merely for a “moratorium.”

Once, Ramadan’s “moderate” ston-ing position stood out; now it fits into the nightmare — only not for Rama-dan, or Rauf or Larijami.

For them, at ground zero and elsewhere, the Shariah dream continues.

Ground zero mosque element of Shariah dream

TARPTaxpayers subsidized overseas banks

We suspect that if Congress had asked, American taxpay-ers would have emphatically explained they don’t want to pay to bail out failing companies. Nevertheless, Congress approved $700 billion in late 2008, osten-sibly to stabilize the financial system by injecting tax money into banks and other financial institutions.

Most Americans, it seems likely, would have had even greater reservations about this massive redistribution of their wealth if they understood their hard-earned taxes were to be depos-ited not only in the vaults of American financial institutions, but, to a large extent, would have a far greater impact overseas, compared with how foreign gov-ernments’ bailouts affected the U.S.

The $700 billion TARP fund sent unspecified billions of dollars to big banks in France, Germany

and other nations, according to a report based on calculations from a congressional watchdog.

“Most other countries, by con-trast,” reports the Associated Press, “focused their efforts more narrowly on banks in their nations that usually lacked major U.S. operations.”

Simply put, U.S. taxpayers disproportionately subsidized faltering foreign banks, while foreign nations generally kept their subsidies within their bor-ders. Once again, U.S. taxpayers were tapped as the world’s sugar daddy, while our friends overseas concentrated on taking care of their own.

The U.S. sent money to about 700 banks, while all other gov-ernments combined aided fewer than 50. In just one example, of the 87 financial entities benefit-ing from U.S. aid to insurance giant American International Group Inc., 43 were foreign,

located in France, Germany, Canada, Britain and Switzerland. The congressional report said that if the U.S. had known more about which foreign banks would benefit, the government might have asked those countries to share costs.

“There were no data about where this money was going,” congressional oversight panel chair Elizabeth Warren said. “The American people have a right to know where the money went.”

We agree. However, we also believe most Americans would just as soon keep their money as turn it over to the government, let alone distribute it around the world. It’s prudent to know where money is headed before cutting the checks. But before that, the government should consider whether taxpayers like the idea at all.

An inspector climbs over rubble as he examines the Inter-state 35W bridge in Minneapolis, which collapsed over the Mississippi River in 2007.

Minn. bridge deal closeslegal chapter for victims

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A $52 million legal settlement will help Minneapolis bridge collapse victims cover lost wages and pay medical bills. It won’t do anything for the missed weddings, altered col-lege plans or horrific mem-ories from that August day three years ago.

Monday’s announcement of a settlement with engineer-ing giant URS Corp. brought mixed emotions for some of the 145 people injured and rel-atives of the 13 killed. They were torn between satisfaction from getting a state contrac-tor to make financial amends and more anguish over lives grievously changed when the Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River broke apart during a steamy rush hour.

It was the final chapter in their legal fight, which already has netted money from the state and a paving contractor. All told, Minnesota and two contractors will have paid out $100 million.

But the dollars and cents only go so far.

Anne Engebretsen, whose mother, Sherry, died in the collapse, choked back tears as she spoke of getting mar-ried a month ago without her mother there to see it.

“The past three years have been extremely difficult but we are still here,” she said. “The pain of our loss may

never subside.”Garrett Ebling, a 35-year-old

who suffered broken bones in his face, legs and arms, said he’s staring at future surger-ies and doesn’t want anyone to get the impression victims are receiving a windfall.

“I don’t think anybody’s plan-ning on being on ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,”’ Ebling said. “That’s not what this is about.”

The settlement averts a trial next spring that could have opened URS to punitive dam-ages. Victim attorneys had argued URS overlooked crit-ical deficiencies that led the 40-year-old bridge to fail.

URS had argued its engi-neers didn’t know about a design flaw in the bridge that made it vulnerable. In a state-ment, the company said the settlement was necessary to avoid drawn-out litigation and that it admitted no fault.

The two sides had argued in court last month over the vic-tims’ request to seek punitive damages. Hennepin County District Judge Deborah Hed-lund, who had yet to rule on that request, worked with the two sides on the final terms of the settlement, including a private 13-hour session Aug. 14, the victims’ attorneys said. The deal prevented disclo-sure of the settlement until Monday.

Rep. Rangel knocks Obama for ‘dignity’ remarkNEW YORK — New

York Rep. Charles Rangel has shot back at Presi-dent Barack Obama’s recent com-ment that he “end his career with dignity.”

Speaking at a candi-date’s forum Monday night in New York City, Rangel said the presi-dent hasn’t “been around long enough to determine what my dignity is.”

The 80-year-old congress-man said it was more likely he would protect Obama’s dignity over the next two years.

A House ethics panel has accused the 20-term Demo-crat from Harlem of ethics violation charges. Rangel has vowed to fight the charges and is refusing to resign. He says he is focus-ing on his re-election.

Obama said three weeks ago that he was sure Rangel wanted to “be able to end his career with dignity” and said he hoped it would happen.

Carter to visit N. Koreato try to free American

WASHINGTON — Former President Jimmy Carter was preparing to leave for North Korea today to try to gain the freedom of an American imprisoned for illegally entering the commu-nist nation, U.S. officials said Monday night.

North Korea agreed to release Aijalon Mahli Gomes if Carter were to come to bring him home, a senior U.S. official told The Asso-ciated Press. Gomes, of Boston, who was arrested on Jan. 25 after entering North Korea, was sentenced in April to eight years in prison and fined $700,000.

Carter was expected to spend a single night in

North Korea and return with Gomes Thursday, a second U.S. official said.

As was the case when former President Bill Clin-ton went to North Korea last summer to win the release of two detained American reporters, no U.S. officials will travel with Carter, the senior official said.

Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo and sev-eral other officials with the Atlanta-based Carter Center did not immediately return calls for comment. The mag-azine Foreign Policy first reported the Carter trip on

Monday.The senior U.S. official

stressed that Carter was not representing the U.S. government.

FDA says tainted eggsdon’t go beyond 2 farms

WASHINGTON (AP) — Food and Drug Administra-tion officials said Monday that there is no evidence a massive outbreak of salmonella in eggs has spread beyond two Iowa farms, though a team of investigators is still trying to figure out what caused it.

F DA o f f i -cials said they do not expect the number of eggs recalled — 550 million — to grow.

D r . J e f f Farrar, FDA’s associate com-missioner for food protec-tion, said 20 FDA investi-gators are at the two farms, Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms, and could be there until next week. He said preliminary findings of the investigation should be available later this week.

Farrar said the chicks that came to the farms from a Minnesota hatchery appear to have been free of illness, so contamination most likely happened at the Iowa loca-tions. The FDA is looking at eight different sites on the farms where laying hens were reared as well as other loca-tions, he said.

The House Energy and Com-merce Committee said it is investigating the outbreak and sent letters to both farms asking for detailed informa-tion about company opera-tions, communications with the government and what they knew and when. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., head of the spending committee that over-

sees the Agriculture Depart-ment and the FDA, sent the two government agencies a letter asking what they knew.

The number of illnesses, which can be life-threaten-

i n g , e s p e -cially to those with weak-ened immune systems, is expected to increase. The federal Cen-ters for Dis-ease Control has said there could be as many as 1,300 salmonella ill-nesses linked to the eggs. The CDC said that for every case reported, there could be

30 or more unre-ported cases.

Dr. Christopher Braden, a CDC epidemiologist involved in the investigation, said there have been 40 more cases reported since last week, but it isn’t immediately clear if all are linked to tainted eggs. Braden said so far the agency has not identified additional clusters of illness that would indicate the outbreak has spread beyond the two Iowa farms.

As her agency investigates the cause, FDA chief Margaret Hamburg said the FDA hasn’t had enough authority to help prevent outbreaks.

Hamburg said Congress should pass legislation stalled in the Senate that would increase the frequency of inspections and give the agency authority to order a recall. Companies now have to issue such recalls voluntarily.

Judge’s ruling stymiesstem cell research

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administra-tion’s expansion of stem cell research has suffered a significant setback with a judge’s ruling that blocks important work on treating life-threatening conditions, say private groups pushing for scientific breakthroughs in medicine.

Monday’s decision by U.S. District Judge Royce Lam-berth will “drive the best sci-entific minds into work less likely to yield treatments,” said Sean Tipton of the Amer-ican Society for Reproductive Medicine.

“It will be incredibly disrup-tive,” Tipton added.

Stem cell research holds the potential to address some of the most difficult areas in the medical field — from

spinal cord injury to diabe-tes to Parkinson’s, which all have resisted traditional treatment.

Two doctors who do research with adult stem cells, James Sherley of the Boston Biomedical Research Institute and Theresa Deisher of AVM Biotechnology, argue that the guidelines will result in increased competition for limited federal funding and will injure their ability to compete successfully for National Institutes of Health stem cell research money.

Scientists say they need to do research with embry-onic stem cells as well as so-called adult ones because the former are more flexible, and the National Institutes of Health is funding both types.

Q: What are your thoughts on American Express Rewards programs? Is it worth the price? — Lorraine, via e-mail

A: It all depends upon the dollar value, which is what devel-ops points. I f you have a good many thou-sand

dollars per month on your

American Express account, the points or miles can add up very quickly. They in turn can be transferred to many major airlines. I have used American Express miles on foreign air-lines to my advantage. The key to American Express rewards points is how much the cost is and how many rewards you will earn. You could figure that out pretty easily on what you expect to spend on that card. My experience with them has been very positive.

RadioContinued from Page A1.

“I don’t look at it so much as censorship,” Jones said, adding he didn’t have a prob-lem with callers voicing opin-ions about local, state and national issues. But he said Day editorialized too much behind the microphone: “I just didn’t want the host ranting about his opinion.”

Reached late Monday, Day said a few shows last week dealing with slow responses

from the Vicksburg Police Department yielded “numer-ous complaints” that went to the “10th degree.” Day sin-gled out a personal incident involving a vagrant around the restaurant “that wouldn’t leave” and recently-reported vandalism at the Southern Cultural Heritage Center as topics mentioned on-air.

Neither man left the door closed to resuming the

show with Day as host. The show began in 2007 behind Day’s now-closed Horseface Harry’s restaurant on Halls Ferry Road. Jones said the show was aired with a dis-claimer that opinions voiced by those behind the mic didn’t necessarily reflect the views of the station, but the two would have to come “to some reasoning about every-thing.” Day, also a member

of the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau advisory board, said he has hosted the show without pay since its inception and word of its can-cellation had “deluged” his Facebook account with pri-vate messages from fans of the show.

Both men credited “Live” with producing three spinoff programs on 1490 AM, a busi-ness-themed show hosted

by Dr. George R. Abraham, a local events calendar-themed show and a local sports show hosted by accountant David Boolos.

A replacement for “Live from the Klondyke” hasn’t been determined, Jones said. The “Doug Stephan’s Good Day” program, which regu-larly airs from 3 until 7 a.m., Jones said, was continuing at 8:30 this morning.

CountyContinued from Page A1.

in revenue estimates for 2010-11, mostly in personal property, County Administra-tor John Smith said. Personal property refers to all items within a structure not built onto land, most often inven-tories kept by a business. Initial drafts of the county’s budget for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1 show general fund spending just shy of $15 million and revenue projec-tions closer to $14.5 million. The budget remains depen-dent on the outcome of a similar tax appeal in circuit court with Riverwalk Casino.

Ameristar and Riverwalk filed suits in 2009, each con-tending methods used by the county to determine prop-erty taxes did not follow state-set criteria for gaming venues of similar size. Total assessed market value in the settlement equaled $169,097,568, which repre-sentatives of the casino said proved Ameristar was assessed higher than other casino properties in Vicks-burg, including Riverwalk, according to a letter accepted by supervisors unanimously upon the recommendation of Tax Assessor Richard Holland.

“The agreement reached between Ameristar and Mr. Holland would result in Ameristar’s total assessed

market value per gaming position being less than Riv-erwalk, which is reason-able based on the age and

associated depreciation of each facility,” read part of the letter, signed by Robert Herman of the Chicago office of global financial advise-ment firm Duff & Phelps. A chart indicated Ameristar began the process with an assessment of around $90,000 per position, while River-walk’s was closer to $85,000 per position.

Ameristar, which has a gas station and an RV park among its 21 parcels of land in Vicksburg, paid $227,854.15 in taxes for 2009, records show. Payments covered 18 parcels, with the cofferdam and the connecting struc-ture left out. Riverwalk has paid $774,378.80 for 2009, with $265,644.52 outstanding, including penalties, records showed.

Supervisors voted 4-1 to accept a $73,773,381 value on personal property at the casino for 2009. Under state law, businesses can request refunds of personal prop-erty taxes when they are corrected. Errors during the independent account of Ameristar’s books turned up several “ghost assets” in the personal property realm — assets that were not in

Warren County at the time, Holland said.

“Every doorknob, every chair — there were several items that should have been deleted from tax roll,” Hol-land said.

The casino expressed con-cern over a refund’s effect on the finances of local govern-ment and the school district, and, thus, would consider taking the refund as a credit for 2010 to pay in February 2011. A refund would cost local coffers $198,600, Smith said, including $75,000 to the school district and $56,000 to the city.

“Ameristar made a mis-take,” District 3 Supervisor Charles Selmon said as he cast the lone vote against set-tling the personal property value. “I certainly don’t think we should pay for Ameri-star’s mistake.” District 4 Supervisor Bill Lauderdale said he agreed with Selmon’s vote “in prin-ciple” but that the county’s hands were tied to fight a refund request. Still, he moved to write a letter to the Attorney General’s Office to clarify how requests for the refund should be made. It passed without opposition.

On the agendaIn Monday’s meeting, War-ren County supervisors:• Adopted resolutions au-

thorizing an assistance agreement between the county and Internation-al Paper on the final GO Zone bond issue the com-pany seeks. The Katrina-inspired bonds total $40 million and would finance the rest of improvements at the Mississippi 3 plant. Local governments have acted as conduits on $145 million in GO Zone bond issues for IP since 2006. Terms usually call for a sponsoring entity to own an upgrade project for 10 years, then turn it over to the company.

• Accepted four petitions from homeowners associa-tions to self-finance road improvements via a special property assessment. The

requests came from resi-dents of Manchester Drive, Amberleaf Drive, Lake For-est subdivision and Fair-ways subdivision.

• Declared an emergency to repair the compressor in the air conditioning sys-tem at the Warren County Courthouse.

Replacing the compres-sor would cost $24,000, buildings and grounds su-pervisor Chuck Thornton said. He said replacing the entire system would run about $65,000 and urged the board to put money in next year’s budget for it. Last year, Warren County was awarded $212,800 in federal stimulus money to address lighting and air conditioning at the Warren County-Vicksburg Public Library and at supervisors’ offices on Jackson Street. Both projects are open for bids.

MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Danielle has weakened, far out in the Atlantic.

The hurricane had reached Category 2 strength earlier today, but dropped to a Cat-egory 1 with maximum sus-tained winds near 80 mph. But the National Hurricane Center in Miami said it could regain strength over the next two days.

Danielle was about 985 miles

east of the Lesser Antilles, moving west-northwest near 20 mph.

Meanwhile in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Frank strengthened as it moved slowly away from Mexico. Frank’s maximum sustained winds increased to near 65 mph. The storm was about 145 miles southwest of Aca-pulco, Mexico, moving west-northwest.

Toyota begins hiring processat Northeast Mississippi plant

JACKSON (AP) — The Toyota plant in northeast Mis-sissippi announced Monday that it’s starting to accept applications for hourly pro-duction and skilled mainte-nance jobs.

The plant at Blue Springs is scheduled to open in the fall of 2011, making the Corolla sedan. Toyota has said the plant will have about 2,000

employees once it hits full operation in 2012.

The Mississippi Department of Employment Security is

handling online applications for the Toyota jobs.

David Copenhaver, vice president of administration at Toyota Motor Manufactur-ing Mississippi Inc., said the start of hiring for hourly jobs is a “milestone.”

Last month, about 5,000 people applied for 37 salaried positions at the plant.

Second bore hole reaches33 men trapped in Chile mine

COPIAPO, Chile (AP) — Singing the national anthem in a full-throated chorus, 33 miners trapped deep under-ground thanked their res-cuers and settled in for a long wait until a tunnel wide enough to pull them out can be carved through a half-mile of solid rock.

Raising hopes further, a second bore hole punched into the chamber where the miners are entombed, and a third probe was nearing the spot today.

After parceling out tiny bits of food and drinking water carved from the mine floor with a backhoe for 18 days, the miners were getting glu-cose and rehydration tab-lets to restore their digestive systems. Capsules carrying oxygen also were sent down through a six-inch bore hole to help the men survive the hot, stuffy, humid conditions in the lower reaches of the gold and copper mine.

The bore holes also will be used to lower communication lines and to provide venti-

lation, Mining Minister Lau-rence Golborne said.

Meanwhile, the miners were sending up notes to their fam-ilies in the same supply cap-sules today, providing solace to people who have held vigil in the chilly Atacama desert since the Aug. 5 collapse.

Their ordeal, however, is far from over.

Above ground, doctors and psychological experts are debating how to keep the miners sane during the esti-mated four months it will take to dig a tunnel large enough to get them out of the safety chamber 2,200 feet under-ground, where they have been buried since Aug. 5.

Through a newly installed communication system, the miners told authorities Monday afternoon that they had used a backhoe to dig for trapped water and ate sparingly from their few supplies.

“They had two little spoon-fuls of tuna, a sip of milk and a biscuit every 48 hours,” said Dr. Sergio Aguilar, a physi-

cian on the rescue team.Aguilar did not say how

long those meager supplies lasted after the landslide that caused a tunnel to col-lapse inside the San Jose gold and copper mine about 530 miles north of Chile’s capital, Santiago.

Officials released a portion of the recording of the dia-logue, in which miners are heard singing Chile’s national anthem.

Earlier Monday, each man spoke and reported feel-ing hungry but well, except for one with a stomach problem, a Chilean official said. The miners asked for toothbrushes.

Officials said they were implementing a plan that includes keeping the miners informed and busy.

Engineers worked to rein-force the first bore hole by using a long hose to coat its walls with a metallic gel to decrease the risk of rocks blocking the hard-won pas-sage through the unstable mine.

Number of U.S. troops in Iraqfalls below 50,000 for first time

BAGHDAD (AP) — The number of U.S. troops in Iraq has fallen below 50,000 for the first time since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and ahead of the end-of-the-month deadline mandated by President Barack Obama, the American military said in a statement today.

The number is a watershed in the more than seven years that the United States has been at war in Iraq. Under Obama’s plan, American forces will no longer conduct combat opera-tions but are instead to focus on training Iraqi troops.

“We’ve met our goal,” Gen. Ray Odierno, the command-ing general in Iraq, told report-ers today. “But the story is not about 50,000. The story is that we are continuing to be com-mitted to Iraq. But our commit-ment is going to change.”

Odierno said that going for-ward, the focus will be on eco-nomic, political, cultural, and technological developments as opposed to just the military relationship.

There are currently 49,700 troops in Iraq and that number will remain level through next summer, Odierno said.

The drawdown comes at a fragile moment in Iraq’s his-tory when many are wondering whether the country’s tenuous security and democracy gains are at risk of backsliding.

The country has gone almost half a year without a new gov-ernment following the March 7 parliamentary elections. The elections failed to produce a clear winner to lead Iraq as American forces withdraw, and frequent attacks by insurgents are raising doubts about the ability of Iraqi forces to protect

the country in the absence of American backup.

Underlining the threat to Iraq’s stability amid the polit-ical vacuum, an al-Qaida in Iraq front group announced it has targeted Iraqi judges in its campaign to re-ignite sectar-ian strife. The judges are on al-Qaida’s hit list because of hand-ing death sentences to “Sunnis, imprisoned in Shiite prisons,” the group said.

According to a statement posted today on a website fre-quently used by militants, The Islamic State of Iraq said 12 Shiite judges in Baghdad have been targeted since the Aug. 11 start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The statement did not claim responsibility of any specific attack, but Iraqi police said four judges — including an appeals court judge — have been wounded in separate attacks in this period.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose State of Law Coalition garnered 89 seats in the election, has been bat-

tling to retain his office. A Sunni-backed coalition led by former prime minister Ayad Allawi, who is Shiite, won 91 seats in the balloting. But in Iraq’s deeply fragmented polit-ical system that still adheres closely to sectarian politics, neither side has been able to pull together a majority coalition.

The political stalemate shows no signs of abating before Sept. 1, when Odierno will officially hand over responsibilities to Lt. Gen. Lloyd Austin III. At that time, Operation Iraqi Freedom — as the war has been called — will officially be changed to Operation New Dawn.

American officials have said repeatedly that their decision to continue with the drawdown — despite the absence of a new government in Iraq — reflects the improved security situation in recent years and their con-fidence in the ability of Iraqi security forces to protect the country.

SIdElINESTiger Woods divorcefinalized in Florida

Divorced. Single dad. Golf game still to be deter-mined.

And so, after nine months of turmoil over his extra-marital affairs, now begins the next chapter in the life and times of Tiger Woods.

In a hearing that lasted no more than 10 minutes in a Florida judge’s cham-bers, Woods and his Swed-ish-born wife officially di-vorced Monday.

“We are sad that our mar-riage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future,” Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a joint statement released by their lawyers.

The divorce was grant-ed shortly after 2 p.m. in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles from their Isle-worth home outside Orlan-do, where Woods drove his SUV over a fire hydrant and into a tree on Thanksgiving night. That set off shocking revelations that sports’ big-gest star had been cheat-ing on his wife through multiple affairs.

Woods’ life and golf game have been in disarray ever since.

He and Nordegren were married Oct. 5, 2004, in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and an 18-month-old son, Charlie.

While waiting for Nathan Davis to show up for a work-out at the Vicksburg Mili-tary Park, a couple of his training partners made small talk and joked about their friend’s habit of show-ing up late.

Davis cruised up on his bicycle 20 minutes or so after the workout was sup-posed to start, then watched them ride off as he made some last-minute adjust-ments. It didn’t take long for Davis to catch up.

When you’re one of the fastest in the world, it never does.

Davis, a 24-year-old Vicks-burg resident, will leave this week for Edinburgh, Scot-land, where he’ll compete in the International Triathlon Union’s World Champion-ships on Sept. 4. The event features a 10-kilometer run followed by a 40-kilometer bike ride, then another 5K run.

Davis is one of six Ameri-cans competing in the men’s 20-24 age group in Scotland. A total of 35 people from 10 countries will participate

in the age group, which is the sport’s highest level of competition.

Davis shrugged off his status as a world class ath-lete, noting that his age group consists of amateurs. Even so, reaching this level was a huge honor.

“I try not to get a big head about it. We’re amateurs. On the pro level, I don’t know how well I’d do. But it’s still a pretty cool feeling,” he said. “If I can get top 10 in my age group at Worlds, that’s realistic. If I can be in the top 25 in the world, that would be a pretty sweet thing to say.”

Davis qualified for the World Championships by finishing 17th in his age group at the Duathlon National Championship in Richmond, Va., in April. He almost didn’t make it.

Virtually assured of quali-fying — the top 18 in each age group earned a spot at Worlds — Davis was cruis-ing along in the top 5 during the bike portion of the race when he got a flat rear tire. He had no spare, no repair

kit and almost no hope as seconds melted away into minutes.

Finally, someone else’s bad luck turned into Davis’ good luck. Another racer blew out his front tire and pulled up next to Davis. The two had never met before, but quickly worked out a deal. The stranger had a repair kit and could patch up both tires. To save time, however, he offered to swap wheels — Davis’ flat tire for his good one.

They quickly made the exchange, Davis got back on his way and made up enough ground on the bike and during the final 5K run to sneak into the next-to-last qualifying spot.

“I was ecstatic. That was the entire point of going up there,” Davis said of qualify-ing. “I thought I had a good shot. At one point my entire dream was shattered and 10 minutes later I made it. It was really cool.”

Davis’ rise up the duath-lon ranks has been meteoric since he got into the sport less than a year ago.

He ran track and cross country at Louisiana Tech, won Vicksburg’s Chill in

the Hills and Run Thru His-tory road races earlier this year and is a regular on the state’s running circuit. After meeting up with a group of local triathletes who call themselves “The Picnic Boys,” he tried a few small triathlons — and failed miserably.

“The swimming is so much more difficult than cycling. One of our group is Mat-thew Mixon, who coaches the Vicksburg Swim Asso-ciation team. I was training with him and his team and I got smoked by girls. Twelve-year-old girls,” Davis said with a laugh.

Davis fared a lot better on the bike and found that duathlons, which cut out the swimming, suited him much better. He’s done three duathlons since he started training and been progres-sively better in each one.

“For some reason, I picked up biking extremely fast. It was a lot like running,” he said.

Davis hasn’t given up on attempting a triathlon. Two of his “Picnic Boys” training partners, Dustin Blount and

Looking at just the score of Friday’s Red Carpet Bowl opener between Warren Central and Ocean Springs, a 35-0 WC loss, a casual observer would conclude it was a simple blowout.

But the score doesn’t tell the whole story.

For most of the first quar-ter, the Greyhounds were unable to move the ball effec-tively after their second drive yielded a touchdown. But after that score things fell apart for the Vikings (0-1).

The Vikings used the run-ning of quarterback Beau Wallace and tailback Shon

M-BravesdemolishJax SunsFrom staff reports

The Mississippi Braves snapped a two-game skid with an 8-2 blowout of the Jacksonville Suns at Trust-mark Park on Monday.

The M-Braves got going early in the first inning.

Tyler Pastornicky ripped a one-out triple and Eric Duncan followed up with a single to plate him.

Mauro Gomez reached on an error that moved Duncan to third before Gomez hus-tled to second.

Michael Daniel drove in Duncan with a sacrifice fly. Jesus Sucre singled to score Gomez and put the M-Braves up 3-0 after one inning.

In the second, the M-Braves padded their advantage. Pastornicky ripped a sacrifice fly to drive in Yasser Gomez, who had led off with a double. Gomez ripped a single to right field to drive in Antoan Richard-son, who reached base ear-lier after being hit by a pitch.

Jacksonville replied in the third, as Lorenzo Scott notched an RBI double and an error allowed the Suns to cut the advantage to 5-2.

But the M-Braves added a run in the fifth off a wild pitch and added two more insurance runs in the sixth as Daniel drove in Pastor-nicky and Duncan with a double to center.

Randall Delgado (1-5) picked up his first win of the season for the M-Braves. He went six innings while scat-tering six hits and striking out seven. He gave up two runs.

Gomez led the M-Braves with a 3-for-5 performance at the plate.

Brad Stone (3-2) took the loss for the Suns, giving up five hits and three earned runs in three innings of work.

The M-Braves and the Suns play again tonight at 7:05.

Despite lopsided score,Gators make progressBy Jeff [email protected]

The final score read: Gulf-port 49, Vicksburg 7.

And while the final number has much in common with how Vicksburg started 2009 on its way to a 1-10 record, Gators coach Alonzo Stevens was upbeat after Friday’s 48th annual Red Carpet Bowl at Memorial Stadium.

“We’re where I thought we would be. Now we just have to stay with it,” Stevens said.

Vicksburg will have a full week to assess their mis-takes as the Gators have an open date. They return to action on Sept. 3, hosting Richwood (La.) at Memorial Stadium.

“The open week comes at a great time for us. We can work on getting better at tackling,” Stevens said.

Gulfport coach Mike Jus-tice was impressed with the Gators’ improvement from

this point last year following a 47-6 loss to Ocean Springs.

“This is a lot better football team than the one I saw last year,” Justice said. “Vicks-burg should have a good year. They have a pretty good football team.”

The Gators’ offense showed some spark. Quarterback Cameron Cooksey was able to throw the ball 31 times and was sacked only once. He completed 12 passes for 162 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Most of his early passes were dumpoffs to running back Kawayne Gaston, who ended the night with with six catches for 38 yards.

Cooskey was able to attack more downfield in the second half. In the third quarter, he had A.J. Stamps for a

WASHINGTON — Stephen Stras-burg is headed back to the disabled list, and his prized right arm will undergo yet another examination that will largely determine whether he pitches again this season.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — An Oregon State University offensive lineman has been dismissed from the team after police said they found him naked and intoxicated in a strang-er’s home and had to use stun guns to take him into custody.

Corvallis police say they received the call about a naked intruder early Sunday.

Responding officers ordered 19-year-old Tyler Patrick Thomas of Kalispell, Mont., to get on the ground, Lt. Tim Brewer said.

Thomas refused and instead dropped into a three-point stance like a football player and lunged at the officers, Brewer said.

Helton’s RBI single beats BravesDENVER (AP) — That’s the

Todd Helton of old.Usually that term’s been

used in front of his name during his summer of strug-gles at the plate.

Helton capped his first four-hit game in more than a year with a tiebreaking RBI single off lefty Jonny Venters in the eighth inning Monday night that lifted the Colorado Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves.

“I don’t know if it’s satis-faction or surprise,” Helton said of his first four-hit night since July 16, 2009, against San Diego.

Helton dribbled a single over second base to score Carlos Gonzalez from second and make a winner of reliever Rafael Betancourt (4-1), who gave up the tying run in the top of the eighth.

Huston Street got the final three outs for his 11th save in 15 chances.

Venters fell to 4-1.Helton is starting to break

out of a season-long slump this month — he’s hitting .308 (16-for-52) since coming off the DL on Aug. 3, and Monday night he raised his season batting average 10 points to .257.

Two pitches before his game-winner, he was knocked down by a wayward 97 mph fastball

from Venters that glanced off his bat. Venters then buck-led Helton’s knees with an

inside curveball before leav-ing another heater out over the plate.

“It woke me up a little bit, right at my head, sinking in,”

Helton said of the fastball that whizzed by his face. “It was almost a career changer.”

And the fastball he hit up the middle was just as nasty.

“The guy’s throwing 97 and it’s sinking all over the place,” Helton said. “I knew he was going to throw me a fastball. It was just a matter if I could hit it or not. There wasn’t much I could do with that, just put it in play and hope-fully find a hole. Not a com-fortable at-bat, no.”

Rockies manager Jim Tracy, who won his 700th career game, lauded Helton for his nerve to stay in there after getting dirtied.

Pshaw, said Helton.“Yeah, I was pulling off a

little bit. You saw the breaking ball before that. If he’d have thrown that for a strike, I’d have been out,” Helton said. “But I knew he was going to throw a fastball because his fastball’s that good.”

Braves catcher Brian McCann was thoroughly impressed by Helton.

“We were calling a sinker in but he kept his hands in nice and did the only thing you could do with it and drive it up the middle,” McCann said. “A 96-mph sinker, going for a double play there. Tip your hat.”

Saints lose another backup running backBy Brett MartelAP sports writer

METAIRIE, La. — Sean Payton would prefer to have a running back other than Reggie Bush or Pierre Thomas handle the pounding of certain short-yardage car-ries and those late-game runs when the Saints are trying to protect leads and wind down the clock.

With two preseason games left, the search for that role appears wide open.

Running back P.J. Hill, a promising second-year pro out of Wisconsin, was waived on Monday and is expected to be placed on injured reserve with a partial triceps tear that will sideline him for the season.

Hill’s injury comes less than two weeks after a season-end-

ing right knee injury to Lynell Hamilton, who entered train-ing camp as the leading can-didate to become the third running back after Mike Bell, who handled that role in 2009, left for Philadelphia in free agency.

“There’s a couple players that aren’t here who were here a year ago at this time, Lynell being one of them, who’s now injured, Mike Bell certainly being the other,” Payton said. “These other guys are going to have to really step up and prove themselves for a spot on the roster.”

Now that Hill is out, the “other guys” consist of undrafted rookie Chris Ivory, recently acquired veteran free agent Ladell Betts and

DeShaunWynn.Ivory, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound

power runner who last year transferred from Washington State to Division II Tiffin, has impressed Payton so far, rush-ing 26 times for 96 yards and one touchdown in two exhibi-tion games. However, he has made some rookie mistakes Saturday against Houston, he was unable to score on first-and-goal from the 1.

“He ran hard and had good effort. He’s got good balance,” Payton said. “He finishes runs well, which has been pretty exciting to see, and yet there’s a ton of things that he’s work-ing on like any rookie would be.”

Betts, who in 2006 rushed for more than 1,000 yards with Washington, has yet to prac-tice since being acquired last

week. He is recovering from a serious left knee injury from last season in which both his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments were torn. However, Payton said he expected Betts to see some playing time in the next pre-season game against San Diego on Friday night.

“Trying to get him into the preseason will be important, just so we can see what we have,” Payton said. “Certainly his experience matters, and yet you still want to see what you have in the player, espe-cially someone who came off an injury like that.”

Wynn is a fourth-year pro who spent his first three sea-sons in Green Bay. He played in only four games in 2009 before a torn meniscus in his knee ended his season.

25-yard touchdown, but the junior receiver couldn’t hold on. Stamps, however, made amends when he broke free for an 80-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to provide the Gators their first touch-down of the season.

“Cooksey looked so much more comfortable back there. You saw what A.J. Stamps can do and Lamar Anthony can be dangerous on returns. We just have to stay with it,” Stevens said.

Stamps ended with two catches for 95 yards and a score.

The Gators also showed a running game. Gaston ripped off a 28-yard gain late in the first half and ended with 48

yards for the game. It took Vicksburg until game five last year to have such a feat.

Defensively, the Gators showed improvement as well.

Gulfport had 300 yards rushing and 421 overall, but the Gators made them work for it.

Gulfport had a 17-play drive on its opening possession but came away with no points as the Gators stopped a fourth down play. The first quarter ended with no score and that rated as another positive for the Gators.

“Last year, we had no answers. Now, I think we do. The mistakes we made on defense, we can correct,” Ste-vens said.

Jackson, who ripped off a 29-yard scamper, to get into the red zone on just their second drive.

But from there, the execu-tion ground to a halt like sand in the gears.

A fumble and a penalty backed up the offense and on third-and-long, Wallace was sacked for a big loss. While the fumble wasn’t a turnover, it was a momentum killer and led to the drive resulting in a long missed field goal by Devon Bell rather than a touchdown.

Then the wheels fell off the proverbial wagon. After the Vikings recovered a drive-killing fumble in the red zone, Jackson was stripped on third and long by Ocean Springs’ safety Malcolm Joiner on the 2-yard line.

But even after the score, the ‘Hounds were just on top by two scores. A Viking TD would’ve gone a long way towards dissipating any hopes of a walkover. Then Austin Roberts’ fumble set Ocean Springs up with great field position and its potent offense cashed in with another score to extend the lead to 21-0.

With just two fumbles, a winnable close game against a top-flight team shifted to desperation mode on the WC sideline.

“When they went up 21-0 at the half, it totally takes you out of your gameplan,” WC coach Josh Morgan said. “The unfortunate mistakes we made turned into points. Those are just little, bitty

things we can fix. There is nothing that we can’t fix.”

Shon Jackson, who rushed for an effective 95 yards, was basically taken out of the equation as the clock became the Vikings’ enemy. Jackson was held to just 4 yards rushing in the second half.

Another fumble, this time on the opening WC drive of the second half, was the final, fatal blow to the WC hopes of an upset. Ocean Springs got a touchdown a few plays later from Dew-ayne Cherry to salt the con-test away.

The big halftime lead resulted in the Vikings having to go strictly to the pass as time became an enemy. The young WC offen-sive line struggled in pass protection and will have to improve going forward.

It’ll help the Vikings get the run/pass balance they seek on offense and keep oppos-ing defenses from stacking eight or even nine defend-ers in the tackle box to key on Jackson like defenses did against Tim Jones last season.

“We’ve got to shore up our pass protection because Beau can’t make any plays having to run for his life back there,” Morgan said. “We’ve got to be able to com-plete the deep ball to keep them off of us.”

The Vikings play at Law-rence County on Friday.

Brannan Southerland, will compete in their first Iron-man triathlon — a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride and a full 26.2-mile marathon — this weekend in Louisville, Ky. Davis, who has never run a marathon despite his background in distance running, said he had a healthy respect for what Blount and Southerland are attempting.

“They’ve done stuff that I haven’t even come close to,” Davis said. “They’ve run a marathon. They’ve done a half-triathlon.”

Blount and Southerland began training for their Iron-man event in the spring. The race is the culmina-tion of 20 weeks of training, with as much as 22 hours a week spent in the pool, on the road or on foot. Some

weeks ended with smaller triathlons that were used for training.

Blount, the program direc-tor of the Vicksburg YMCA, said his goal isn’t to place among the top finishers. It was simply to cross the line in one piece.

“It’s really trying to find yourself,” Blount said. “Around mile 18 of the mar-athon we’re going to hit a deep, dark place. It’s a life-changing event.”

While Blount and Souther-land are tackling the roads of Louisville, Davis will be pre-paring for his race.

“We’re sending a Picnic Boys shirt with him,” Blount said. “He’s one of us. Chasing Nathan and Joe (Giambrone, another training partner) on the bicycles has made all of us faster.”

Kean was the primary writer for the show and penned the theme song to which millions of American children sang along each week during the show’s run on NBC from 1947 to 1960. Family friend Del Reddy said Monday that Kean died Aug. 13 at a nursing care facility in Oak-land County’s West Bloomfield Township, Mich., from complica-tions of emphysema. Reddy said the New York City native wrote the song “It’s Howdy Doody Time,” which was sung during the show’s opening.Kean is credited with creating the exclamation, “kowabunga,” made popular by one of the show’s characters and borrowed by Bart Simpson, the animated problem child on the long-running comedy “The Simpsons.”Nancy Dolman — Martin Short’s wife has died.

Michael pleads guilty to drug offensesPop star George Michael pleaded guilty today to drug of-

fenses and a judge suspended his license and warned him he could face jail after an incident in which his car crashed into a photo shop and he was found slumped at the wheel.

In a 15-minute appearance at Highbury Cor-ner Magistrates Court, Michael admitted driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cannabis following the July 4 crash, where po-lice said they found him “spaced out” and with dilated pupils.

Judge Robin McPhee banned the hitmaker be-hind “Faith” and “Father Figure” from driving for six months, and sternly warned he could face a prison sentence.

Three years ago, Michael was found slumped over the wheel of his car, which was blocking an intersection.

Michael, 47, whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou, spoke only to enter his pleas and confirm his identity. The former Wham! lead singer needed help from police to get through a swarm of photographers and cameramen as he arrived at the court.

RFK Jr.’s wife faces drug chargeThe wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been

charged with driving under the influence of drugs one month after her license was suspend-ed following her guilty plea to driving while im-paired by alcohol, state police said today.

Mary Richardson Kennedy, 50, initially was pulled over Saturday morning for speeding on the Taconic State Parkway in Dutchess County, in the Hudson Valley, state police said.

They did not specify how fast her Volvo was going, the results of her sobriety test or what drugs she allegedly had taken.

Kennedy told the trooper who stopped her after she was ob-served driving 82 mph that she was headed to a yoga class. She was driving alone.

After her arrest, she was taken to the state police barracks in Millbrook and examined by a drug-recognition expert, who de-termined she was under the influence of a prescription medica-tion, the newspaper said. It did not identify the drug.

Kennedy is scheduled to appear in Pleasant Valley Town Court Thursday.

Boy takes pickup on 100-mile joyrideA 12-year-old Oregon boy had permission to drive the fam-

ily pickup to the end of the driveway to unload trash, but he kept going until he was stopped nearly 100 miles away in Lewis County, Wash.

The Clackamas County sheriff’s office said it received a call from the boy’s mother reporting the boy and the pickup miss-ing from their home in Damascus, Ore., near Portland.

An alert went out, and the eager young driver was safely stopped by a Lewis County sheriff’s deputy.

Detective Jim Strovink said the case will be referred to juvenile authorities.

Mexico’s newest icon

22-year-old Guadalajara nativewins Miss Universe crown

LAs VeGAs (AP) — From flags to Facebook, 22-year-old Jimena Navarrete has quickly made it clear what she plans to promote as the world’s newest Miss Universe — her home country of Mexico.

“I want the whole world to know about my country and my people,” the Guadalajara native said after beating 82 competitors for global brag-ging rights at the pageant in Las Vegas.

“I imagine that they’re all going crazy in Mexico right now,” she said through an interpreter. “I’m extremely proud and I’m sure they’re very proud, too.”

She donned a flowing red dress, strutted confidently in a violet bikini, and said onstage that the Internet is indispens-able and requires parents to impart family values.

The model-turned pageant queen then posed for pictures with a Mexican flag and Mexi-co’s last Miss Universe as con-gratulations from her country-men came pouring in.

“Her triumph is a source of pride and satisfaction for all Mexicans, who see in her the fruits of perseverance,” Mexi-can President Felipe Calderon

said in a statement. Immedi-ately after her win, Calderon said on Twitter that her vic-tory would help Mexico’s image as a country.

“We won, long live Mexico!” Navarrete said on her fan page on Facebook, spurring

478 “likes” and 218 comments in about one hour.

She was cheered by Span-ish-speaking reporters clam-oring to talk with her after the pageant, and twice answered questions about Arizona’s recent immigration law.


Blagojevich appears on Jon Stewart’s shownew YoRK (AP) —

Despite goading from “The Daily Show” host Jon Stew-art, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich declined Monday night to promise to testify if he is retried on corruption charges.

Blagojevich appeared on Stewart’s TV show on Comedy Central as part of a new media blitz after a mostly deadlocked jury convicted him on just one of 24 counts last week. He con-tinued to proclaim his inno-cence and to attack what he said was the weak case of fed-eral prosecutors.

Blagojevich did not tes-tify during his 2 1/2 month trial, and Stewart repeatedly reminded the impeached gov-ernor of earlier promises to take the stand. Stewart chal-lenged Blagojevich to make good on that boast.

“You’re a guy that’s the most adamant about his innocence

of anyone I ever met, so you’re either the victim of a terrible persecution or you’re a socio-path,” Stewart said. “I want to believe you’re not a sociopath, so you have to come out — and not on talk shows — in a court of law, and clear your name. You have to.”

In response, Blagojevich said only that he would have a “chance” to do that in a retrial.

Jurors convicted Blagojevich Aug. 17 of lying to the FBI.

Prosecutors have said they will retry him on the 23 other counts, including the accusa-tion that the former Demo-cratic governor schemed to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.

Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete is crowned Miss Universe 2010 by Stefania Fernandez Monday in Las Vegas.

Bride fears bridesmaid has too much colorDear Abby: I’m a 36-year-old

woman who has a 25-year-old friend I love like a little sister. Because of that connection, I felt compelled to ask her to be a bridesmaid in my upcoming wedding.

After she agreed, I overheard her mention that she would be getting a large tattoo on her arm. Because she knows how I feel about visible tat-toos, I asked her if she’d wait six months until after the wed-ding. She and the matron of honor are scheduled to wear strapless, knee-length gowns.

She proceeded with the tattoo and now has half an arm of full-color design. I don’t want her to ruin my wedding or the photographs. I would feel guilty if I had to force a jacket or sweater on her or my matron of honor, especially if the day is unseasonably hot. What should I do? — No Ink in Louisville

Dear No Ink: If your “little sister” cared as much about

your feelings as you seem to about hers, she would have postponed getting the tattoo as you requested. Too bad she didn’t.

However, weddings are more than the procession and the picture album. They are about loving friends and family and the joining of two people who intend to build a life together. If you’re worried about the pictures, pose “Sis” so her “canvas” can’t be seen by the camera.

Dear Abby: Seven years ago, my husband, “John,” had an affair that resulted in the birth of a child. Although it was difficult, John and I stayed together and our marriage is

better than ever.My husband supports “Talia”

financially and sees her when-ever he can. The adults have all managed to create a cor-dial, working relationship for Talia’s sake.

Talia spends a few weeks with us during school breaks. When I go out with her and run into acquaintances, they’ll ask, “Who’s this?” I will give her name, but sometimes they press for more. Many of our friends know we’ve been married for a long time with only one child together. (Our daughter is in college.)

My question is — is Talia my stepdaughter? Is there a simple way of answering these questions without making anyone uncomfortable, espe-cially Talia? — Part-Time Mommy

Dear Part-Time Mommy: Yes. Talia is your stepdaugh-ter, and you can introduce her that way or refer to her as John’s daughter. Either would

be correct.Dear Abby: What is the

polite way to correct a child who is being rude in your home while her mother, who is present, does absolutely nothing? — Disciplinarian in Tracy, Calif.

Dear Disciplinarian: Here’s how I’d handle it. I would get down to the child’s eye level and say: “Honey, I have cer-tain rules in my house. When you’re here, I expect you to ( ). Do you understand?”

You cannot expect a child who may not have been taught basic manners by his (or her) mother to know what you expect unless you spell it out sweetly and firmly. And if the bad behavior persists, I would socialize with the child’s mother only one-on-one.

Blood pressure medsmaking reader dizzy

Dear Dr. Gott: I am con-stantly dizzy. I was taking 160 milligrams of Diovan for a long time, but my doctor changed me to 150 milligrams of Tek-turna. Now I’m dizzy on that. My blood pressure is 118/66, so what causes the dizziness?

Dear Reader: There are a number of causes for dizzi-ness, including vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, inflamma-tion of the inner ear, migraine headaches and as a result of using specific medications. Dizziness can also result from low-blood-pressure readings (hypotension), Parkinson’s and other neurological dis-orders, nerve damage to the legs, inner-ear abnormalities and anxiety.

Your first step is to work with your physician to determine the cause of your hyperten-sion. If there is an underlying condition such as an inappro-priate diet, excessive salt con-sumption, obesity or lack of exercise, take steps to bring the matter under control.

Both medications you have been prescribed treat hyper-tension. Diovan carries such side effects as headache, diarrhea, back/joint/stomach pain and dizziness. Tekturna does not carry a side effect of dizziness.

You didn’t indicate what your blood-pressure readings were prior to being placed on medi-cation. While I don’t know the specific numbers your physi-cian is hoping to achieve, you might consider asking if you can reduce the dosage of your Tekturna. While it doesn’t come in doses smaller than 150 milligrams, perhaps you can take half-doses, if appropriate.

Dear Dr. Gott: Is it safe to have blood drawn while on a blood thinner?

Dear Reader: Yes, it is. When you cut yourself, the body’s defenses kick in to halt the bleeding by form-ing a clot. The process is known as coagulation and is how things should happen. On the other hand, with-out that cut and with blood moving through your veins and arteries, clots should not occur. Unfortunately, they do, and for a number of reasons. When they occur, a physician will likely prescribe a drug to bring the disorder in line. Some of the causes are inher-ited, such as sticky platelet syndrome or factor V Leiden; some are acquired, such as occurs with HIV/AIDs, inflam-matory bowel syndrome, obe-sity, trauma and hormone-replacement therapy. These conditions and a host of others must be checked periodically with laboratory testing so a primary-care physician or hematologist can correctly monitor a patient. The testing performed is commonly a PT/INR and may include a PTT. Simply put, a physician will be able to determine through

test results how fast your blood is clotting and whether your medication should be modified.

As an example, people may take prescription Coumadin to reduce the formation of blood clots. This anticoagulant works to prevent heart attack and clots from occurring.

•Write to Dr. Peter Gott in care of United Media, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 years old and am told by all the boys at my school that I’m cute. Many older boys have asked me out, but my mother says I’m too young to date. My cousin is 14, she’s go-ing steady and my aunt thinks it’s wonderful.

I’m embarrassed when I’m asked out and I can’t say yes, so I lie and say that I’m grounded for a few months. I’m a mature young lady, both mentally and physically. Don’t you think I should be allowed to date occasionally? — Laura, St. Louis.

Laura: I realize that the time has arrived when boys are a prime interest, but there is no reason to rush things. Dating is an important part of teen life and I’m sure you will have your share of dates, but not now. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy having good friends who are boys. Be patient. Most teens begin dating between the ages of 15 and 16. I know it will be difficult for the boys, but rest assured, they’ll wait for you!

Dr. Wallace: Last week, I broke a promise and caused a good friend to break up with her boyfriend. She told me a secret and I promised her I wouldn’t tell a living soul, but I did. I’m sorry about the hurt I’ve caused my friend, and I have told her so. I hope she understands that I’m human and that humans make mistakes. What can I do now to make my friend forgive me? — Nameless, Galesburg, Ill.

Nameless: You have apologized, which was the right thing to do. You can do no more. If your friend feels your apology was sincere, she’ll forgive you. But that’s her choice, and it will hap-pen in her own time. I know it’s hard not to be able to do more — but you can’t undo what’s been done. You’ll have to be pa-tient and recognize that wounds take time to heal.

What you can do immediately is vow to turn this into a learn-ing experience. Recognize that you’ll be making mistakes all of your life, but know that a wise person doesn’t make the same mistake twice. From now on, keep your promises!

If tomorrow is your birthday: In the year ahead you are likely to fare far better if you rely mostly on yourself and not on others to take you where you want to go in life. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It would be best if neither you nor your mate react in a way that would stir things up, just to get what you want should a disagreement arise. If you can’t remain civil, don’t speak until your slow burn is gone.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be particularly careful not to disrupt a situation that is presently running smoothly. If you’re the one who disassembles the mechanism, you’ll have to take the fall.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Take care that you don’t come off as being too loud or too strong in a social situation, regardless of how much something annoys you. Friends will respond bet-ter to consultation than to rudeness.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Tyrannical reactions will make enemies within the workplace that aren’t likely to disappear in the near future. Wield your power to gain cooperation, not to antagonize.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’s your prerogative to endorse or champion an unpopular cause, but don’t expect others to easily accept your position. Don’t be angry with others for being independent and thinking differently.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Unless you are extremely careful regarding a critical, financial matter, you could draw the short straw as to who would take the loss. Do not leave anything to chance.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be your normal, sweet self, be-cause this is not the day to take a stance or be inflexible when dealing with others. There is likely to be someone who will react rigidly in response.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Unfortunately, if you’ve gone be-yond the breaking point regarding taking care of your responsi-bilities, you may have to pay the price. The costs will only go up further with delay.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Trouble is on the way if you inad-vertently promised two separate friends who don’t get along that you would spend your free time with them. You’ll lose no matter which one you choose.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If anybody near and dear to you does something that displeases you, before responding, count to 10 or 50 in order to calm down. You’ll regret it if you fly off the handle.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It might fall to you to deal with a temperamental friend or family member on a certain topic or is-sue that always aggravates him/her. Remain calm regardless of the reaction you get.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Should you find business conditions to be a trifle trickier than usual to deal with, do all the listening to get a true slant on the problems. Don’t try to make any com-mitment until you have all the facts.
