4-2.<br />

It was the first time in<br />

PCA’s three title runs that<br />

it went undefeated in the<br />

postseas<strong>on</strong>, and also the<br />

first time the team was able<br />

to clinch the final series at<br />

home. PCA also w<strong>on</strong> champi<strong>on</strong>ships<br />

in 2003 and 2006,<br />

winning the last game <strong>on</strong> the<br />

road both times.<br />

Bayou had w<strong>on</strong> the last two<br />

Class A champi<strong>on</strong>ships.<br />

“It feels pretty dadgum<br />

good. When you win a champi<strong>on</strong>ship,<br />

it’s a great feeling<br />

of accomplishment. It’s nice<br />

to know all the hard work<br />

pays off,” said PCA coach<br />

Randy Wright, in his 14th<br />

seas<strong>on</strong> at the school. “No<br />

way in the world this could<br />

get old. This is our goal every<br />

year, and no way achieving<br />

your goal could get old.”<br />

Smoking<br />

cigarettes<br />

costs more<br />

By emily wagster Pettus<br />

The Associated Press<br />

JACKSON — At Cigs &<br />

Suds in Petal, owner Jane<br />

Thomas had to tell some<br />

smokers Thursday that their<br />

favorite brands were temporarily<br />

unavailable.<br />

That’s because Thomas has<br />

been letting her cigarette<br />

inventory dwindle this week<br />

as she tries to minimize costs<br />

while she and other tobacco<br />

sellers prepare for Mississippi’s<br />

first-in-a-generati<strong>on</strong><br />

increase in the state cigarette<br />

excise tax.<br />

Today, the state tax jumps<br />

50 cents a pack — from 18<br />

cents to 68.<br />

“I have a very small store.<br />

So, yes, it’s very hard for<br />

me,” Thomas said.<br />

Legislators approved the<br />

tax increase last week, and<br />

Gov. Haley Barbour signed<br />

the bill Wednesday.<br />

The Mississippi State Tax<br />

Commissi<strong>on</strong> has spent the<br />

past several days telling distributors<br />

and stores how to<br />

handle paperwork for the<br />

increase.<br />

For cigarettes in stock<br />

at either the close of business<br />

Thursday or at midnight<br />

Thursday into Friday,<br />

the wholesalers and retailers<br />

will have to pay the state<br />

the new 50 cents a pack tax.<br />

That m<strong>on</strong>ey is due to the Tax<br />

Commissi<strong>on</strong> by June 15.<br />

Tax Commissi<strong>on</strong> spokeswoman<br />

Kathy Waterbury<br />

said the agency has fielded<br />

dozens of calls this week.<br />

Some are from c<strong>on</strong>sumers<br />

complaining the cigarette<br />

prices are increasing<br />

in anticipati<strong>on</strong> of the higher<br />

tax. She said there’s nothing<br />

illegal about businesses<br />

charging more before the<br />

new tax kicks in.<br />

“It’s business,” Waterbury<br />

said Thursday. “It happens.”<br />

The federal cigarette tax<br />

increased by 62 cents a pack<br />

<strong>on</strong> April 1, going from 39<br />

cents to $1.01.<br />

Thomas said some of her<br />

customers are complaining<br />

about a tax increase when<br />

the ec<strong>on</strong>omy is already<br />

shaky. She said some talk<br />

about quitting.<br />

“Occasi<strong>on</strong>ally they say<br />

that,” Thomas said. “Or,<br />

they’ll cut back or go to a<br />

cheaper brand.”<br />

Tops of trees <strong>on</strong> the bank of the Mississippi River just south of Clark Street are<br />

barely visible above the waterline as the river c<strong>on</strong>tinues its rise to its projected<br />

crest of 46 feet <strong>on</strong> May 23. The flood level at Vicksburg is 43 feet and the river,<br />

fed by storms in the lower Mississippi River Basin, rose a half-foot since Thursday<br />

to a stage of 44.2 this morning.<br />

County shifts energy-saving plan<br />

By Danny Barrett Jr.<br />

dbarrett@vicksburgpost.com<br />

Stimulus funds for energy improvements<br />

to Warren County-owned buildings are<br />

is available to Warren County as part<br />

of the Energy Efficiency and C<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong><br />

Block Grant program from U.S.<br />

Department of Energy. In all, 19 cities<br />

Board seeks directi<strong>on</strong><br />

By Ben Bryant<br />

bbryant@vicksburgpost.com<br />

Jim <str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> Sr., executive<br />

director of the Vicksburg<br />

Housing Authority, has taken<br />

sick <strong>leave</strong>, prompting the<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>VHA</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s board to ask federal<br />

authorities whether it should<br />

hold an emergency meeting<br />

to appoint a temporary<br />

replacement for <str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g>, said<br />

panel chairman Jay Kilroy.<br />

Accused of st<strong>on</strong>ewalling<br />

a police investigati<strong>on</strong> into<br />

alleged embezzlement by a<br />

former <str<strong>on</strong>g>VHA</str<strong>on</strong>g> employee and<br />

of violating federal law by<br />

supporting the campaign of<br />

a Vicksburg mayoral candidate,<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> said Thursday<br />

afterno<strong>on</strong> that he took <strong>leave</strong><br />

“<strong>on</strong> M<strong>on</strong>day or Tuesday” <strong>on</strong><br />

the advice of his pers<strong>on</strong>al<br />

physician. “My (blood) pressure<br />

is up, and I feel terrible,”<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> said from his<br />

home. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> said that he<br />

would return to work “when<br />

the doctor tells me I can.”<br />

Kilroy said the board is<br />

c<strong>on</strong>cerned that, absent a<br />

full-time executive director,<br />

the <str<strong>on</strong>g>VHA</str<strong>on</strong>g> may not be able<br />

Jim<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> Sr.<br />

Jay<br />

Kilroy<br />

to receive disbursements of<br />

subsidy m<strong>on</strong>ey from the federal<br />

government <strong>on</strong> which it<br />

depends to fund operati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

at its 430 homes and apartments.<br />

“We obviously have<br />

to keep the lights <strong>on</strong>,” he<br />

said.<br />

The board does not want to<br />

exercise its power to permanently<br />

replace <str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g>, who<br />

is in his late 70s, Kilroy said.<br />

“We want him to do what is<br />

best for his health,” he said.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> is entitled to an<br />

indefinite amount of sick<br />

<strong>leave</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>VHA</str<strong>on</strong>g> Board Attorney<br />

Buddy Dees Jr. said.<br />

“There’s no set time when he<br />

has to return,” Dees said.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Stirgus</str<strong>on</strong>g> said that he was<br />

House, Senate stall<br />

<strong>on</strong> state budget talks<br />

By Shelia Byrd<br />

The Associated Press<br />

JACKSOn — Thousands<br />

of state employees could be<br />

laid off, from Highway Patrol<br />

troopers to school workers,<br />

and public services might<br />

have to be reduced under<br />

a Senate-backed spending<br />

proposal for next fiscal year,<br />

Mississippi House leaders<br />

say.<br />

House and Senate negotiators,<br />

who are at odds over<br />

the proposal, met Thursday<br />

at the state Capitol in hopes<br />

of reaching a compromise <strong>on</strong><br />

Mississippi’s nearly $5 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

budget for the fiscal year<br />

that begins in two m<strong>on</strong>ths.<br />

House Appropriati<strong>on</strong>s Committee<br />

Chairman Johnny<br />

Stringer, D-M<strong>on</strong>trose, and<br />

two other House negotiators<br />

rejected the Senate’s plan to<br />

hold $60 milli<strong>on</strong> in stimulus<br />

m<strong>on</strong>ey in reserve for fiscal<br />

year 2011. Legislators said<br />

the move would force lawmakers<br />

to underfund numerous<br />

state agencies, including<br />

public safety, educati<strong>on</strong> and<br />

mental health.<br />

“For us to start firing<br />

people while we have the<br />

m<strong>on</strong>ey in the bank to pay<br />

them is just not good public<br />

policy from where we sit,”<br />

said Rep. Dirk Dedeaux,<br />

D-Gulfport, a House<br />

negotiator.<br />

Rep. Cecil Brown, D-Jacks<strong>on</strong>,<br />

estimated up to 2,000<br />

employees could lose jobs.<br />

He said underfunding the<br />

state Department of Health<br />

could lead to nursing shortages<br />

and that some school<br />

districts would have to lay off<br />

Officer accused with Melt<strong>on</strong> set for trial<br />

By Holbrook Mohr<br />

The Associated Press<br />

JACKSON — Plea negotiati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

came to a “grinding halt”<br />

in the case of late Mayor Frank<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong>’s bodyguard, and a federal<br />

prosecutor said Thursday<br />

he’s ready for trial in the<br />

sledgehammer attack <strong>on</strong> an<br />

alleged crack house.<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong> and Michael Recio,<br />

a Jacks<strong>on</strong> police officer who<br />

served as the mayor’s bodyguard,<br />

were accused in the<br />

2006 vigilante raid <strong>on</strong> a duplex<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sidered a crack<br />

house.<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong> died May 7, just days<br />

before a sec<strong>on</strong>d trial was to<br />

begin.<br />

U.S. District Judge Daniel<br />

Jordan said during a hearing<br />

Thursday that he needed to<br />

know if the case against Recio<br />

would go forward as planned<br />

because 700 potential jurors<br />

have been c<strong>on</strong>tacted from<br />

the entire southern half of<br />

Michael Recio<br />

Mississippi.<br />

“If there’s anything brewing,<br />

I need to know,” Jordan said<br />

during the ph<strong>on</strong>e c<strong>on</strong>ference.<br />

Prosecutor Mark Blumberg<br />

said negotiati<strong>on</strong>s came to a<br />

“grinding halt” and the government<br />

plans to move forward<br />

because “as far as I know<br />

there is absolutely no further<br />

chance for a plea.”<br />

Before his death, Melt<strong>on</strong> said<br />

he was willing to testify that<br />

Recio did not participate in the<br />

raid if they were given separate<br />

trials.<br />

During the first federal trial,<br />

which ended in a hung jury in<br />

February, <strong>on</strong>e witness testified<br />

he saw Recio pull the awning<br />

off the ramshackle structure.<br />

Defense attorneys, however,<br />

attacked the witness’ credibility,<br />

calling him an unemployed<br />

drunk.<br />

The witness acknowledged<br />

drinking beer that night but<br />

couldn’t recall how much. He<br />

said some days he drinks 17 or<br />

18 beers to get a “buzz.”<br />

Prosecutors also say Recio<br />

had a resp<strong>on</strong>sibility to stop<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong> from leading a group<br />

of young men to use sticks and<br />

sledgehammers to damage<br />

the home.<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong>, a colorful former<br />

televisi<strong>on</strong> executive, had said<br />

he was <strong>on</strong>ly keeping a campaign<br />

promise to root out<br />

crime by ridding the city of a<br />

drug den.<br />

Melt<strong>on</strong> was elected in 2005<br />

after promising to crack<br />

down <strong>on</strong> crime, particularly<br />

illegal drugs. Prosecutors say<br />

he went too far and violated<br />

the civil rights of the home’s<br />

owner and tenant.<br />

Also this week, prosecutors<br />

moved to dismiss the charges<br />

against Melt<strong>on</strong> after the judge<br />

rejected a request to let the<br />

charges stand until after jury<br />

selecti<strong>on</strong> in Recio’s trial.<br />

Prosecutors had hoped the<br />

move would ensure Melt<strong>on</strong>’s<br />

attorney could not discuss<br />

the case due to a pending gag<br />

order.<br />

Blumberg had complained<br />

that Melt<strong>on</strong>’s attorney, John<br />

Reeves, essentially blamed<br />

the government for Melt<strong>on</strong>’s<br />

death. Melt<strong>on</strong>’s first trial was<br />

postp<strong>on</strong>ed due to his severe<br />

heart problems.<br />

Mabus’ Navy nominati<strong>on</strong> moves to full U.S. Senate<br />

JACKSON — Former Mississippi<br />

Gov. Ray Mabus is<br />

<strong>on</strong>e step closer to becoming<br />

secretary of the U.S. Navy.<br />

The Senate Armed Services<br />

Committee voted Thursday<br />

to recommend<br />

JACK VIX SAYS: C<strong>on</strong>gratulati<strong>on</strong>s to the PCA Eagles baseball team.<br />

OUR OPINION<br />

Seriously<br />

Some MLB players haven’t gotten the message<br />

As local kids from Porters<br />

Chapel and St. Aloysiuys were<br />

excelling <strong>on</strong> the diam<strong>on</strong>d for the<br />

love of the game, more of their<br />

big-time counterparts were in the<br />

headlines for other reas<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Some may have naively thought<br />

that the worst of Major League<br />

Baseball’s scandalous era of<br />

chemical chicanery was behind<br />

us.<br />

The sport, of course, was notoriously<br />

slow, in relati<strong>on</strong> to the<br />

Olympic movement and even<br />

the Nati<strong>on</strong>al Football League, to<br />

begin testing for performanceenhancing<br />

drugs. But it did start<br />

testing, with penalties attached,<br />

in 2004. And nearly 30 players<br />

have been suspended as a result.<br />

It is probably no coincidence<br />

that since 5,451 home runs were<br />

struck in 2004, the total has been<br />

lower every year since, falling to<br />

4,878 in 2008.<br />

And even when distasteful revelati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

inevitably have come, as<br />

with the February disclosure that<br />

Yankees’ superstar Alex Rodriguez<br />

tested dirty in 2003, when no<br />

penalties were imposed for positive<br />

tests, they dated to the bad<br />

old days of doping, the mid-1990s<br />

and early 2000s.<br />

The baseball establishment for<br />

too l<strong>on</strong>g looked the other way<br />

as <strong>on</strong>ce-lithe ballplayers turned<br />

into hulking mashers, swatting<br />

homers and thrilling fans who<br />

had grown disillusi<strong>on</strong>ed by the<br />

labor bickering that led to the<br />

midyear cancellati<strong>on</strong> of the 1994<br />

seas<strong>on</strong>. The 1998 race between<br />

the now drug-disgraced Mark<br />

McGwire and Sammy Sosa to set<br />

a single-seas<strong>on</strong> home run record<br />

was the key to finally erasing<br />

fans’ lingering resentment over<br />

the labor strife.<br />

Still, however belatedly and<br />

begrudgingly, with c<strong>on</strong>gressi<strong>on</strong>al<br />

interventi<strong>on</strong> looming, baseball<br />

got serious about cleaning itself<br />

up in 2004. But any noti<strong>on</strong> that<br />

testing, <strong>medical</strong> record reviews<br />

and suspensi<strong>on</strong>s had put an end<br />

to players gaming the system was<br />

dashed by news that Los Angeles<br />

Dodgers’ slugger Manny<br />

Ramirez, <strong>on</strong>e of the game’s most<br />

luminous stars, had violated the<br />

league’s drug policy.<br />

Ramirez was suspended for<br />

50 games, which will cost him<br />

nearly $8 milli<strong>on</strong> in salary, for<br />

using a banned substance typically<br />

associated with a steroid<br />

regimen. That is a significant<br />

penalty. But it was <strong>on</strong>e known to<br />

Ramirez and all major leaguers.<br />

And it was not enough to deter<br />

him from cheating.<br />

Major League Baseball deserves<br />

credit for finally putting an<br />

effective drug-testing program<br />

in place. But Ramirez’s use of<br />

human chori<strong>on</strong>ic g<strong>on</strong>adotropin,<br />

which experts say is evidence of<br />

a sophisticated doping regimen,<br />

shows that baseball must remain<br />

vigilant to stay ahead of those<br />

willing to use scientific skill to<br />

cheat the game, the players who<br />

play clean and the fans.<br />

More important, baseball must<br />

increase the penalties for those<br />

who violate its policies. Ramirez<br />

has proved that 50 games for a<br />

first offense and 100 games for a<br />

sec<strong>on</strong>d are not enough. Make it<br />

a full seas<strong>on</strong> for the first offense<br />

and a lifetime ban for the sec<strong>on</strong>d.<br />

MODERATELY CONFUSED<br />

by Bill Stahler<br />

For now, Republicans intent <strong>on</strong> being irrelevant<br />

WASHINGTON — Of the two main<br />

American political parties, Republicans<br />

are now clearly distinguished<br />

by their driving desire to lose. Every<br />

facti<strong>on</strong> seems determined to rule the<br />

kingdom of irrelevance.<br />

Witness the reacti<strong>on</strong> to the Nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

Council for a New America — an anodyne<br />

“listening tour” by Republican<br />

officials recently kicked off at a pizza<br />

parlor in Northern Virginia. Social<br />

c<strong>on</strong>servatives attacked this forum<br />

<strong>on</strong> educati<strong>on</strong> and the ec<strong>on</strong>omy for<br />

the offense of not being a forum <strong>on</strong><br />

aborti<strong>on</strong> and the traditi<strong>on</strong>al family.<br />

Neo-Reaganites searched the transcript<br />

for n<strong>on</strong>existent slights: How<br />

dare former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush<br />

criticize “nostalgia” for the “good<br />

old days”? Why didn’t he just spit <strong>on</strong><br />

R<strong>on</strong>ald Reagan’s grave? Other c<strong>on</strong>servatives<br />

criticized the very idea<br />

of a listening tour, asking, “What’s<br />

to hear?”<br />

During a recent c<strong>on</strong>versati<strong>on</strong>, Bush<br />

described himself as “dumfounded<br />

by the reacti<strong>on</strong>.” He added: “I d<strong>on</strong>’t<br />

think listening is a weakness. People<br />

are yearning to be heard. Perhaps we<br />

should begin with a little humility.”<br />

There is much for Republicans to<br />

be humble about. The party, says<br />

Bush, faces “dramatically changing<br />

demographics, especially Hispanics<br />

in swing states,” the “alienati<strong>on</strong><br />

MICHAEL<br />

GERSON<br />

of young voters” and an unprecedented<br />

drop in support am<strong>on</strong>g college<br />

graduates.<br />

“Trying to be all things to all people<br />

isn’t going to work,” Bush c<strong>on</strong>tends.<br />

The goal is “not to redefine our<br />

beliefs, but to recognize challenges<br />

and adapt,” particularly <strong>on</strong> the issues<br />

of nati<strong>on</strong>al security, health care, educati<strong>on</strong>,<br />

the ec<strong>on</strong>omy and the envir<strong>on</strong>ment.<br />

Republicans need to “focus <strong>on</strong><br />

creating policies relevant to today<br />

— not things relevant 20, 30 or 40<br />

years ago.”<br />

Jeb Bush insists that this focus<br />

<strong>on</strong> creative policy can be unifying<br />

because “c<strong>on</strong>servatives have more<br />

in comm<strong>on</strong> than they disagree <strong>on</strong>.”<br />

And the Republican Party has been<br />

unified in oppositi<strong>on</strong> to President<br />

Obama’s disturbing accumulati<strong>on</strong> of<br />

federal debt and power. But <strong>on</strong> other<br />

It seems to me that Republicans<br />

are likely to pass through a series<br />

of wrenching debates before<br />

they arrive at ‘policies relevant<br />

to today.’<br />

issues, it seems to me that Republicans<br />

are likely to pass through a<br />

series of wrenching debates before<br />

they arrive at “policies relevant to<br />

today.”<br />

Take the envir<strong>on</strong>ment. For many<br />

Americans, especially the young,<br />

c<strong>on</strong>cern about carb<strong>on</strong> emissi<strong>on</strong>s and<br />

climate disrupti<strong>on</strong> is no l<strong>on</strong>ger a c<strong>on</strong>victi<strong>on</strong>;<br />

it is a value.<br />

It is possible that climate change<br />

skeptics — the dominant Republican<br />

voices — have uncovered a vast<br />

scientific delusi<strong>on</strong>, like the belief in<br />

phlogist<strong>on</strong> or phrenology. But given<br />

the compelling evidence from glaciology,<br />

botany and marine biology, this<br />

seems unlikely.<br />

Republicans have distinctive c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

to make <strong>on</strong> climate policy.<br />

They might support a carb<strong>on</strong> tax<br />

instead of a cumbersome cap-andtrade<br />

system. They should insist that<br />

all revenues gained from a carb<strong>on</strong><br />

tax or the sale of polluti<strong>on</strong> permits<br />

go back to the American people in<br />

lower taxes.<br />

But the main policy choice is<br />

binary: Should a cost be imposed <strong>on</strong><br />

carb<strong>on</strong> emissi<strong>on</strong>s? If Republicans<br />

generally say no, they will not be<br />

viewed as bel<strong>on</strong>ging to an envir<strong>on</strong>mental<br />

party.<br />

A similar argument can be made<br />

c<strong>on</strong>cerning health care. Obamacare,<br />

in its nascent form, seems deeply<br />

flawed — using a system of fines,<br />

new bureaucracies and subsides to<br />

push workers toward a plan resembling<br />

Medicare. Republicans have<br />

l<strong>on</strong>g supported alternatives that subsidize<br />

the individual ownership of<br />

private health insurance. But these<br />

proposals generally have been incremental,<br />

poorly explained and largely<br />

ignored.<br />

A credible Republican alternative<br />

would employ a more generous<br />

refundable tax credit that enables<br />

the working poor to purchase basic<br />

health insurance — essentially<br />

creating an entitlement to health<br />

care through the private insurance<br />

system. This is perhaps the <strong>on</strong>ly real<br />

alternative to the slow socializati<strong>on</strong><br />

of American health care. It is also<br />

costly.<br />

Or c<strong>on</strong>sider immigrati<strong>on</strong>. Immigrants<br />

hold diverse political views,<br />

but they also make a determinati<strong>on</strong><br />

about parties and politicians:<br />

Do they welcome us? The answer<br />

from Republicans has often been<br />

equivocal. Some of this is a matter of<br />

t<strong>on</strong>e. But it is difficult to imagine a<br />

remedy to this impressi<strong>on</strong> of resentment<br />

without Republican support for<br />

immigrati<strong>on</strong> reform that includes a<br />

legal status for temporary workers<br />

and a realistic path to citizenship.<br />

Each of these policies — carb<strong>on</strong><br />

restricti<strong>on</strong>s, universal health insurance<br />

and immigrati<strong>on</strong> reform —<br />

could eventually be important to the<br />

Republican recovery. But would a<br />

candidate carrying these ideas transform<br />

the Republican Party, or be<br />

destroyed by it? The hostile reacti<strong>on</strong><br />

to the pizza parlor putsch provides<br />

<strong>on</strong>e answer.<br />

But this is a snapshot, not a prophecy.<br />

As the years pass, the kingdom<br />

of irrelevance seems less and less<br />

pleasant, even to its rulers. Policy<br />

shifts that seem incredible become<br />

inevitable. This is how a party prepares<br />

to win.<br />

Destroyer to be named<br />

for Navy pi<strong>on</strong>eer Gravely<br />

PASCAGOULA (AP) —<br />

Steadfast and resolute, Vice<br />

Adm. Samuel L. Gravely Jr.<br />

commanded respect much<br />

like the Navy destroyer being<br />

named for him.<br />

Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding<br />

will christen the<br />

DDG 107, an Arleigh Burkeclass<br />

Aegis guided missile<br />

destroyer, in the presence of<br />

Gravely’s family members,<br />

friends and co-workers during<br />

a Saturday cerem<strong>on</strong>y at the<br />

Pascagoula shipyard.<br />

Gravely’s success plotted a<br />

new course for black men in<br />

the Navy, his admirers said,<br />

and he was a man of firsts.<br />

He was the first African-<br />

American to command a Navy<br />

warship, the USS Theodore<br />

E. Chandler; the first to command<br />

an American warship<br />

under combat c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s, the<br />

USS Taussig; and the first to<br />

command a major naval warship,<br />

the USS Jouett.<br />

Also, he was the first African-American<br />

to command a<br />

numbered fleet and to become<br />

an admiral. His substantial<br />

Naval career spanned World<br />

War II, the Korean and Vietnam<br />

Wars, and the Cold War.<br />

Samuel L.<br />

Gravely Jr.<br />

“He was a<br />

very dedicated<br />

man<br />

to the Navy<br />

and any job<br />

he was <strong>on</strong>,”<br />

said 87-yearold<br />

Alma<br />

Gravely, who<br />

was married<br />

to the admiral<br />

for 58 years.<br />

Samuel Gravely died in 2004<br />

at the age of 82.<br />

Many things have been<br />

named in his h<strong>on</strong>or, such as<br />

scholarships, a boulevard in<br />

his hometown of Richm<strong>on</strong>d,<br />

Va., and an elementary school<br />

in Haymarket, Va., where he<br />

and his wife retired.<br />

But a ship namesake is especially<br />

touching, Alma Gravely<br />

said.<br />

“I’m so happy with the type<br />

of ship they chose because<br />

he loved destroyers,” she<br />

said. “He commanded four of<br />

them.”<br />

Gast<strong>on</strong> described Gravely<br />

as inspiring but humble and<br />

always selfless.<br />

“He was big in stature and<br />

in many other respects,” he<br />

said.<br />

House OKs $27 billi<strong>on</strong> budget bill<br />

BATON ROUGE — The<br />

Louisiana House approved a<br />

$27 billi<strong>on</strong> budget proposal<br />

Thursday that includes large<br />

But the m<strong>on</strong>ey doesn’t<br />

cover all the shortfalls.<br />

Herbal remedy<br />

Study: Ginger capsules<br />

ease chemo nausea<br />

Ginger, l<strong>on</strong>g used as a folk<br />

remedy for soothing tummyaches,<br />

helped tame <strong>on</strong>e of the<br />

most dreaded side effects of<br />

cancer treatment — nausea<br />

from chemotherapy, the first<br />

large study to test the herb for<br />

this has found.<br />

People who started taking<br />

ginger capsules several days<br />

before a chemo infusi<strong>on</strong> had<br />

fewer and less severe bouts of<br />

nausea afterward than others<br />

who were given dummy capsules,<br />

the federally funded<br />

study found.<br />

“We were slightly beside<br />

ourselves” to see how much<br />

it helped, said study leader<br />

Julie Ryan of the University<br />

of Rochester in New York.<br />

Results were released<br />

Thursday by the American<br />

Society of Clinical Oncology<br />

and will be presented at the<br />

group’s annual meeting later<br />

this m<strong>on</strong>th. But d<strong>on</strong>’t reach<br />

for the ginger ale. Many sodas<br />

and cookies c<strong>on</strong>tain <strong>on</strong>ly flavoring<br />

— not real ginger, Ryan<br />

said. Her study tested a druglike<br />

ginger root extract, and<br />

it’s not known if people could<br />

get the same benefits from<br />

ginger teas or the powdered<br />

ginger sold as a spice.<br />

Still, ginger capsules may<br />

offer a cheap, simple way<br />

to fight nausea, which is far<br />

more than just a quality-oflife<br />

issue, doctors say. Some<br />

cancer patients cut treatment<br />

short or refuse chemo altogether<br />

because of nausea,<br />

hurting their chances of beating<br />

the disease.<br />

Medicines do a good job of<br />

curbing vomiting, but nearly<br />

three-fourths of chemo<br />

patients still suffer nausea,<br />

which can sometimes be<br />

worse, Ryan said.<br />

“Patients ask all the time,<br />

‘What else can I do?’” said Dr.<br />

Richard Schilsky, a cancer<br />

specialist at the University of<br />

Chicago and president of the<br />

<strong>on</strong>cology society.<br />

Ginger has l<strong>on</strong>g been touted<br />

for stomach upsets, ranging<br />

from moti<strong>on</strong> sickness<br />

to morning sickness during<br />

pregnancy. Studies have had<br />

mixed results.<br />

The study involved 644<br />

patients from cancer centers<br />

around the nati<strong>on</strong> who had<br />

suffered nausea in a previous<br />

round of chemotherapy.<br />

Two-thirds had breast cancer<br />

and the rest, other forms of<br />

the disease. They were placed<br />

in four groups and given <strong>on</strong>e<br />

of three doses of ginger (the<br />

equivalent of <strong>on</strong>e-half, 1 or 1<br />

1/2 grams of ginger per day)<br />

or dummy capsules in additi<strong>on</strong><br />

to standard anti-sickness<br />

medicines.<br />

Patients took the capsules<br />

for six days, beginning three<br />

days before chemo treatment.<br />

They rated their nausea symptoms<br />

<strong>on</strong> a seven-point scale <strong>on</strong><br />

the first day of each of three<br />

treatments.<br />

All of the ginger doses significantly<br />

reduced nausea,<br />

and the middle and lowest<br />

doses gave the best results.<br />

Patients taking ginger scored<br />

their nausea an average of<br />

two or more points lower <strong>on</strong><br />

the nausea scale, about a 40<br />

percent improvement over<br />

their previous chemo treatments<br />

without ginger, Ryan<br />

said. Those given dummy<br />

pills reported hardly any<br />

difference.<br />

that a comm<strong>on</strong> virus<br />

might play a role in high blood<br />

pressure.<br />

The work, by Harvard scientists,<br />

so far is <strong>on</strong>ly in mice —<br />

and the usually symptomless<br />

infecti<strong>on</strong> is so widespread that<br />

proving an effect in people will<br />

be tough.<br />

Still, it’s the latest clue that<br />

infecti<strong>on</strong>s may somehow affect<br />

a number of the factors that<br />

lead to heart disease, from<br />

stiffening arteries to obesity.<br />

“There’s likely to be c<strong>on</strong>siderable<br />

skepticism about this<br />

in the <strong>medical</strong> professi<strong>on</strong>,”<br />

acknowledged lead researcher<br />

Dr. Clyde Crumpacker, an<br />

infectious disease specialist<br />

at Beth Israel Deac<strong>on</strong>ess<br />

Medical Center in Bost<strong>on</strong>. But,<br />

“what we would postulate is<br />

yes, there can be persistent<br />

infecti<strong>on</strong> of blood vessels that<br />

could be leading to high blood<br />

pressure.”<br />

At issue is cytomegalovirus,<br />

or CMV. More than half of U.S.<br />

adults are infected by age 40,<br />

according to the Centers for<br />

Disease C<strong>on</strong>trol and Preventi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

It’s a lifel<strong>on</strong>g infecti<strong>on</strong> but<br />

the vast majority will never<br />

even know they have it.<br />

Yet CMV causes serious<br />

problems for select groups:<br />

Women infected during pregnancy<br />

sometimes pass the<br />

virus to their fetuses, and<br />

8,000 infants a year suffer<br />

disabilities including mental<br />

impairments and hearing or<br />

visi<strong>on</strong> loss as a result. Riskier<br />

in people with weak immune<br />

systems, CMV also causes<br />

a type of blindness in AIDS<br />

patients and has been linked<br />

to problems in heart transplant<br />

recipients.<br />

For the new study, Crumpacker<br />

teamed with cardiologists<br />

who could do a neat trick:<br />

thread tiny tubes directly into<br />

a vital neck artery of mice,<br />

to measure exactly what<br />

happened to their blood<br />

pressure.<br />

Crumpacker started with<br />

healthy mice, some fed a<br />

normal rodent diet and others<br />

a high-cholesterol diet for a<br />

m<strong>on</strong>th. Then he injected<br />

CMV into the abdominal cavities<br />

of half of each group. A<br />

few weeks later, blood pressure<br />

had jumped am<strong>on</strong>g all<br />

the CMV-infected mice, but<br />

not am<strong>on</strong>g their uninfected<br />

counterparts, Crumpacker<br />

reported Thursday.<br />

Blood pressure jumped the<br />

most in mice given a highcholesterol<br />

diet — and a few<br />

even were developing artery<br />

plaques, he wrote in the journal<br />

PLoS Pathogens, a publicati<strong>on</strong><br />

of the Public Library<br />

of Science.<br />

Peering into the rodents’<br />

carotid arteries, the researchers<br />

found the CMV was infecting<br />

the blood vessels’ lining.<br />

Heart disease is linked with a<br />

low-level artery inflammati<strong>on</strong>,<br />

and three different inflammatory<br />

molecules were found in<br />

the infected mice.<br />

Delving deeper, Crumpacker<br />

then infected both mouse and<br />

human cells in lab dishes<br />

and found that CMV spurred<br />

increased producti<strong>on</strong> of an<br />

enzyme called renin, known to<br />

activate a molecular pathway<br />

that can lead to high blood<br />

pressure.<br />

Nearly <strong>on</strong>e in three adult<br />

Americans, or 72 milli<strong>on</strong><br />

people, and almost 1 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

people worldwide have high<br />

blood pressure. It’s a leading<br />

cause of heart disease and<br />

strokes.<br />

I know<br />

a case<br />

where a<br />

widow had a will drawn up<br />

and gave it to her oldest s<strong>on</strong>.<br />

The will left more m<strong>on</strong>ey to<br />

his sisters than to him, so he<br />

disposed of the will. When the<br />

widow died, all of the children<br />

received equal shares. It was<br />

her intenti<strong>on</strong> to give more to<br />

her daughters because she<br />

had given other m<strong>on</strong>ies in<br />

her lifetime to the s<strong>on</strong>. My<br />

point is that a will is a weak<br />

piece of paper if it falls into the<br />

wr<strong>on</strong>g hands. They should be<br />

A: I d<strong>on</strong>’t know in what<br />

state you are writing from,<br />

but I d<strong>on</strong>’t know of any place<br />

that a will can be recorded in<br />

a will must be probated, and<br />

the original must be submitted<br />

to the probate court. This<br />

means that the <strong>on</strong>e making the<br />

will must trust the pers<strong>on</strong> to<br />

whom the will is entrusted. If<br />

there’s any questi<strong>on</strong> about the<br />

heirs, then it should be deposited<br />

with an attorney who is<br />

instructed to submit the will<br />

for probate at the appropriate<br />

time. There is little questi<strong>on</strong><br />

that there have been occasi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

where a will has been<br />

his or her advantage to see<br />

A8 Friday, May 15, 2009 The Vicksburg Post<br />

House votes $96.7B war funds despite doubts<br />

Provisi<strong>on</strong> of bill includes $50 milli<strong>on</strong> to start closure of Guantanamo Bay<br />

WASHINGTON (AP) —<br />

Despite Democrats’ rising<br />

anxiety about Afghanistan,<br />

the House <strong>on</strong> Thursday<br />

easily passed a $96.7 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

measure filling President<br />

Barack Obama’s request for<br />

war spending and foreign aid<br />

efforts there and in Iraq.<br />

Some 51 Democrats broke<br />

with Obama, who is sending<br />

thousands more troops into<br />

Afghanistan, but all but a<br />

handful of Republicans stood<br />

behind the president to produce<br />

a 368-60 tally. Republicans<br />

supported the measure<br />

even though majority Democrats<br />

added almost $12 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

to Obama’s $85 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

request.<br />

The measure would boost<br />

total funding provided by C<strong>on</strong>gress<br />

for the Iraq and Afghanistan<br />

wars above $900 billi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Across Capitol Hill, a key<br />

Senate committee approved<br />

a compani<strong>on</strong> $91.3 billi<strong>on</strong> bill<br />

that sticks closely to Obama’s<br />

war request — including $50<br />

milli<strong>on</strong> for the Pentag<strong>on</strong> to<br />

begin the promised closure of<br />

the detenti<strong>on</strong> facility at Guantanamo<br />

Bay, Cuba.<br />

The issue of closing Guantanamo<br />

is addressed in the<br />

House measure as well —<br />

not with funding but with a<br />

promise that detainees from<br />

the pris<strong>on</strong> will not be released<br />

<strong>on</strong> U.S. soil. A new provisi<strong>on</strong>,<br />

however, anticipates some of<br />

the 241 detainees at Guantanamo<br />

will be transferred to the<br />

United States to stand trial or<br />

serve their sentences.<br />

A separate c<strong>on</strong>flict over the<br />

war-funding measure c<strong>on</strong>cerns<br />

whether it should provide<br />

a $108 billi<strong>on</strong> U.S. c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong><br />

to the Internati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

M<strong>on</strong>etary Fund as part of an<br />

expanded $500 billi<strong>on</strong> IMF<br />

loan fund, a cornerst<strong>on</strong>e<br />

of last m<strong>on</strong>th’s Group of 20<br />

nati<strong>on</strong>s summit in L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong> to<br />

assist poor countries struggling<br />

through the global ec<strong>on</strong>omic<br />

downturn.<br />

Obama officially requested<br />

the IMF funding late Tuesday,<br />

and the request was immediately<br />

incorporated into the<br />

Senate versi<strong>on</strong> by Appropriati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Committee Chairman<br />

Daniel Inouye of Hawaii.<br />

The IMF funds would cost<br />

U.S. taxpayers about $5 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

since the government is issued<br />

interest-bearing assets in<br />

return for the c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Proposal would require all<br />

to have health coverage<br />

WASHINGTON (AP) —<br />

House Democrats are crafting<br />

a plan that would require<br />

all Americans to carry health<br />

insurance and would help families<br />

making less than $88,000<br />

pay the premiums. Employers,<br />

too, would have to help foot the<br />

bill.<br />

It’s the latest development<br />

in President Barack Obama’s<br />

push to fix the ailing U.S.<br />

health care system by getting<br />

the government more deeply<br />

involved.<br />

Obama has said the final<br />

legislati<strong>on</strong> must rein in costs,<br />

guarantee choice of health<br />

plans and <strong>medical</strong> providers,<br />

and ensure that all Americans<br />

have access to affordable coverage.<br />

But he’s leaving it to C<strong>on</strong>gress<br />

to work out the details.<br />

A document provides an early<br />

look at where Democratic leaders<br />

in the House are heading<br />

as they try to meet an ambitious<br />

July 31 deadline for passing<br />

their versi<strong>on</strong> of the legislati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

The Senate is working <strong>on</strong><br />

a similar plan, with some differences,<br />

<strong>on</strong> the same timetable.<br />

The plan by the House Energy<br />

and Commerce Committee<br />

WASHINGTON (AP) —<br />

C<strong>on</strong>gressi<strong>on</strong>al Republicans<br />

are rushing to defend the CIA<br />

after House Speaker Nancy<br />

Pelosi accused the spy agency<br />

of misleading her and other<br />

lawmakers about its use of<br />

waterboarding during the<br />

Bush administrati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

The issue of what did the<br />

speaker know about the interrogati<strong>on</strong><br />

method — and when<br />

did she know it — has deepened<br />

the fault lines between<br />

the two political parties. Pelosi<br />

was unequivocal about a CIA<br />

briefing she received in the<br />

fall of 2002.<br />

“We were told that waterboarding<br />

was not being used,”<br />

the speaker said Thursday.<br />

“That’s the <strong>on</strong>ly menti<strong>on</strong>, that<br />

they were not using it. And we<br />

now know that earlier they<br />

were.” She suggested the CIA<br />

release the briefing material.<br />

Pelosi vehemently disputed<br />

Republican charges that she<br />

was complicit in the use of<br />

waterboarding, and she suggested<br />

the GOP was trying<br />

to shift the focus of public<br />

attenti<strong>on</strong> away from the Bush<br />

administrati<strong>on</strong>’s use of techniques<br />

that she and President<br />

Barack Obama have described<br />

as torture.<br />

Today, the top Republican <strong>on</strong><br />

the Senate Intelligence Committee<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tradicted Pelosi’s<br />

claims and questi<strong>on</strong>ed her<br />

criticism of the nati<strong>on</strong>’s spy<br />

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi<br />

The associated press<br />

“I think it’s a tragedy that we<br />

are seeing this massive attack<br />

<strong>on</strong> our intelligence community<br />

which has kept us safe,”<br />

Sen. Kit B<strong>on</strong>d of Missouri<br />

said in an interview <strong>on</strong> NBC’s<br />

“Today” show where he questi<strong>on</strong>ed<br />

why Pelosi was “going<br />

after the agency and calling<br />

them liars.”<br />

B<strong>on</strong>d said he reviewed the<br />

CIA’s material and it was clear<br />

that Pelosi had been informed<br />

about the enhanced interrogati<strong>on</strong><br />

method, although B<strong>on</strong>d<br />

said he was not with Pelosi<br />

when the spy agency briefed<br />

her.<br />

The CIA was widely criticized<br />

for its intelligence gathering<br />

prior to the Sept. 11<br />

terrorist attacks and faced<br />

questi<strong>on</strong>s about its informati<strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>on</strong> suspected weap<strong>on</strong>s<br />

of mass destructi<strong>on</strong> in Iraq<br />

prior to the start of the war<br />

in March 2003. The weap<strong>on</strong>s<br />

GM to notify 1,100 dealerships<br />

that c<strong>on</strong>tracts w<strong>on</strong>’t be renewed<br />

DETROIT (AP) — A day<br />

after Chrysler LLC told a quarter<br />

of its dealers that it w<strong>on</strong>’t<br />

renew their c<strong>on</strong>tracts, owners<br />

of General Motors Corp. dealerships<br />

are awaiting word <strong>on</strong><br />

whether they will be next.<br />

GM said it will notify 1,100<br />

U.S. dealers today that their<br />

franchise agreements will not<br />

be renewed. Dealers expect to<br />

hear either by teleph<strong>on</strong>e or<br />

FedEx letters that will begin<br />

arriving this morning.<br />

GM spokesman Susan Gar<strong>on</strong>takos<br />

said the company will<br />

not make public a list of dealers<br />

to be cut, leaving the decisi<strong>on</strong><br />

to release informati<strong>on</strong> to<br />

individual business owners.<br />

The company had scheduled<br />

a c<strong>on</strong>ference call for no<strong>on</strong><br />

today to explain its dealer<br />

reducti<strong>on</strong> strategy.<br />

The cuts will come just a day<br />

after crosstown rival Chrysler<br />

announced it was dropping<br />

789 of its roughly 3,200 dealerships<br />

by around June 9. Both<br />

companies have too many<br />

dealerships for too few sales<br />

are slashing costs as they race<br />

to restructure.<br />

GM’s dealer cuts are part of<br />

the company’s plan announced<br />

last m<strong>on</strong>th to cut more than<br />

2,600 dealers by 2010. The<br />

remaining cuts will come from<br />

closed Saturn and Hummer<br />

dealers, al<strong>on</strong>g with 400 dealers<br />

that the company expects<br />

will close voluntarily. Another<br />

The GM headquarters in<br />

downtown Detroit<br />

500 would be c<strong>on</strong>solidated into<br />

other dealerships.<br />

The GM dealer cuts are<br />

likely to have a much greater<br />

impact than Chrysler’s. While<br />

many Chrysler dealers also<br />

sell other brands and will stay<br />

open after losing their franchises,<br />

a large number of GM<br />

dealers sell <strong>on</strong>ly GM vehicles.<br />

So if their franchises are<br />

revoked, they run a greater<br />

risk of closing for good.<br />

In both cases, the cuts will<br />

cost thousands of jobs, create<br />

holes in local tax bases, eliminate<br />

community pillars and<br />

create ec<strong>on</strong>omic ripple effects<br />

across the country.<br />

Chrysler is operating under<br />

bankruptcy protecti<strong>on</strong>, so it is<br />

likely to have an easier time<br />

tearing up its franchise agreements<br />

with its dealers than<br />

GM. A hearing is scheduled<br />

for June 3 in U.S. Bankruptcy<br />

Court in New York for the<br />

judge to determine whether<br />

to approve Chrysler’s moti<strong>on</strong><br />

to fire its dealers.<br />

Chrysler executives said<br />

Thursday the company is<br />

trying to preserve its bestperforming<br />

dealers and eliminate<br />

<strong>on</strong>es with the weakest<br />

sales. More than half of the<br />

dealerships being eliminated<br />

sell less than 100 vehicles per<br />

year, they said, and account<br />

for 14 percent of U.S. sales.<br />

Chrysler has received $4 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

in government aid, while<br />

GM has received $15.4 billi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

GM is c<strong>on</strong>tinuing to restructure<br />

out of court and faces a<br />

government-imposed deadline<br />

of May 31 for doing so. Several<br />

difficult hurdles remain,<br />

and many experts say that it<br />

is all but inevitable that it will<br />

follow Chrysler into Chapter<br />

11 bankruptcy.<br />

To remake itself outside of<br />

court, GM must persuade its<br />

b<strong>on</strong>dholders to swap $27 billi<strong>on</strong><br />

in debt for 10 percent of<br />

its risky stock. In additi<strong>on</strong>, it<br />

must work out deals with its<br />

uni<strong>on</strong>, announce factory closures,<br />

cut or sell brands and<br />

shutter dealers.<br />

Swapping its b<strong>on</strong>d debt for<br />

equity may be its most difficult<br />

task. The company is trying to<br />

get 90 percent of its b<strong>on</strong>dholders<br />

<strong>on</strong> board for the so-called<br />

debt-for-equity swap. A committee<br />

representing the b<strong>on</strong>dholders<br />

has rejected the swap,<br />

saying it unfairly favors the<br />

government and the United<br />

Auto Workers uni<strong>on</strong>.<br />

the United States: His mother<br />

The young Haitian man’s<br />

relatives waited to see if he<br />

survived the sinking of a<br />

boat laden with migrants<br />

off Florida’s coast, but the<br />

chances for his rescue faded<br />

today after the Coast Guard<br />

suspended its search.<br />

At least nine people died,<br />

including a 1-year-old girl,<br />

and 16 others were rescued<br />

about 15 miles off the coast<br />

of southern Florida when<br />

the boat was spotted early<br />

Wednesday.<br />

Rescuers had c<strong>on</strong>tinued<br />

searching through Thursday<br />

with hopes that some passengers<br />

wore life jackets and<br />

were carried north <strong>on</strong> the<br />

But they suspended the<br />

County. Officials have said<br />

Brown said.<br />

The 2009 sessi<strong>on</strong> is in recess until<br />

May 26, when lawmakers return<br />

to finish a budget for the year that<br />

starts July 1. The lack of compromise<br />

has left state agencies in limbo.<br />

The $60 milli<strong>on</strong> comes from the<br />

part of the federal American Recovery<br />

and Reinvestment Act that was<br />

designated for Medicaid. Nunnelee<br />

said the $60 milli<strong>on</strong> is an arbitrary<br />

amount that he’s chosen to hold back.<br />

Gov. Haley Barbour, whose office<br />

has discreti<strong>on</strong> over how the stimulus<br />

will be spent, has proposed creating<br />

a reserve fund for the m<strong>on</strong>ey to be<br />

used in 2011 when the federal government’s<br />

stimulus program ends. Nunnelee<br />

said at that point, Mississippi<br />

will have to pay an extra $33 milli<strong>on</strong><br />

a m<strong>on</strong>th for its share of Medicaid, a<br />

government-funded health-care program<br />

for the needy.<br />

“It will <strong>leave</strong> us with a severe problem<br />

in 2011,” Nunnelee said.<br />

Said Stringer: “Only the Lord<br />

knows what’s going to happen in<br />

2011, and he’s not telling right now.”<br />

Stringer and Brown said federal<br />

requirements prohibit reserving the<br />

Medicaid stimulus m<strong>on</strong>ey.<br />

A representative from Barbour’s<br />

office told the group that the governor’s<br />

staff was trying to get an<br />

answer from federal officials about<br />

the issue.<br />

Brown said the Senate also wants to<br />

A10 Friday, May 15, 2009 The Vicksburg Post<br />

CAIRO (AP) — An American<br />

couple, Iris Botros and Louis<br />

Andros, thought they were<br />

finally reaching their dream of<br />

having a child when they came<br />

to Botros’ homeland, Egypt, to<br />

adopt twin orphans. Instead<br />

they found themselves in a<br />

cage in a courtroom, <strong>on</strong> trial<br />

for alleged child trafficking.<br />

The pop star Mad<strong>on</strong>na’s<br />

attempt to adopt a sec<strong>on</strong>d child<br />

from the African country of<br />

Malawi has shown how complicated<br />

internati<strong>on</strong>al adopti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

can be.<br />

But in Muslim countries like<br />

Egypt, such adopti<strong>on</strong>s are<br />

nearly impossible, snarled in<br />

religious traditi<strong>on</strong> and murky<br />

laws. Botros and Andros, who<br />

live in Durham, N.C., also may<br />

have been caught up in an<br />

attempt by the Egyptian government<br />

to show it is cracking<br />

down <strong>on</strong> human trafficking<br />

after criticism from the United<br />

States.<br />

The trial of Botros, Andros<br />

and another couple is the first<br />

of its kind in Egypt. In the<br />

tangle of the country’s regulati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

and customs, even lawyers<br />

are unsure whether adopti<strong>on</strong><br />

is allowed. “I d<strong>on</strong>’t know<br />

if it is legal or illegal. Really, I<br />

d<strong>on</strong>’t know,” said Aameh Saleh,<br />

the Egyptian lawyer representing<br />

Botros and Andros.<br />

What is known is that Islamic<br />

law forbids adopti<strong>on</strong>, and that<br />

is the law applied to Muslims<br />

in Egypt. The religi<strong>on</strong> emphasizes<br />

maintaining clear bloodlines<br />

to ensure lines of patrim<strong>on</strong>y<br />

and inheritance. At most,<br />

Muslims can take a child into<br />

l<strong>on</strong>g-term foster care, but such<br />

a situati<strong>on</strong> does not allow the<br />

child to inherit from the foster<br />

parents.<br />

Most often, orphans are informally<br />

taken in by their extended<br />

family, without any legal provisi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Almost all other Muslim<br />

Murky laws<br />

U.S. couple who wanted to adopt<br />

<strong>on</strong> trial for trafficking in Egypt<br />

countries in the Middle East<br />

have similar practices.<br />

The law is far less clear c<strong>on</strong>cerning<br />

Egypt’s Christian<br />

minority, to which Botros<br />

bel<strong>on</strong>gs. Adopti<strong>on</strong>s within the<br />

Christian community — including<br />

by Egyptian Christians<br />

living abroad — do take place,<br />

usually involving a d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> to<br />

a Christian orphanage. Prop<strong>on</strong>ents<br />

say this type of adopti<strong>on</strong><br />

is not explicitly banned, but still<br />

faces m<strong>on</strong>umental barriers.<br />

Many government officials<br />

are resistant to adopti<strong>on</strong> —<br />

believing it is not allowed —<br />

and Muslim c<strong>on</strong>servatives are<br />

opposed because they fear that<br />

Christians will adopt Muslim<br />

orphans and raise them as<br />

Christians.<br />

The process is so l<strong>on</strong>g, c<strong>on</strong>fusing<br />

and tedious that the few<br />

Christians who try it often turn<br />

to backdoor methods like forgeries<br />

and bribes, sometimes<br />

organized by churches and<br />

mainly Christian orphanages.<br />

Botros, 40, and Andros, 70,<br />

likely thought they could do<br />

The associated press<br />

Iris Botros, left, and husband, Louis Andros, right, are seen<br />

inside a cage in a courtroom in Cairo, Egypt.<br />

the same.<br />

The couple, who own a Greek<br />

restaurant in Durham, tried<br />

for years to have a child and<br />

attempted to adopt in the U.S.,<br />

where the two married 15 years<br />

ago, said Saleh. But several factors<br />

stood in their way, especially<br />

Andros’ age.<br />

On the advice of Egyptian<br />

friends, the two traveled to<br />

Cairo in the fall and were put<br />

in touch with a Coptic Christian<br />

orphanage that was caring for<br />

two newborn orphans.<br />

The orphanage gave them<br />

forged documents to say Botros<br />

had given birth to the children,<br />

and the couple d<strong>on</strong>ated $4,600<br />

to the orphanage, Saleh said. In<br />

November, Botros and Andros<br />

brought the twins, whom they<br />

named Victoria and Alexander,<br />

back to their temporary home<br />

in a mostly Christian neighborhood<br />

of Cairo.<br />

But when they tried to<br />

get American passports for<br />

the babies, a U.S. Embassy<br />

employee became suspicious<br />

of them, Saleh said.<br />

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —<br />

Mississippi had a 2-1 lead<br />

heading to the bottom of<br />

the ninth, but they couldn’t<br />

hold it.<br />

Jacks<strong>on</strong>ville evened the<br />

five-game series by defeating<br />

the Mississippi Braves<br />

6-2 Thursday night.<br />

Usually lights-out Rafael<br />

hits including a walk-off<br />

grand slam and the Braves<br />

dropped their sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

The Braves took the early<br />

lead with two runs in the<br />

first. Gorkys Hernandez led<br />

off with a triple and moved<br />

to third <strong>on</strong> a double by<br />

Matt Young. Hernandez<br />

In the bottom of the<br />

ninth, Cruz gave up c<strong>on</strong>secutive<br />

singles to Andrew<br />

Jenkins, Mitchell and Tim<br />

Torres, the last of which<br />

tied the game at two. After<br />

bases, Brad Davis blasted<br />

a 1-0 pitch out of the Baseball<br />

I’ve ever had. I d<strong>on</strong>’t think<br />

anything could be better<br />

By Ernest Bowker<br />

PEARL — With his full<br />

head of curly red hair, Stephen<br />

Evans’ nickname “Red”<br />

is a natural fit. Lately, his<br />

teammates have given him<br />

another m<strong>on</strong>iker — “Ace-oh.”<br />

It’s a reference to Evans’<br />

uniform number, 10. It might<br />

as well mean, “He’s our ace,<br />

and your score is going to be<br />

oh.”<br />

Evans scattered six hits in<br />

a complete-game shutout,<br />

and also drove in a pair of<br />

runs with a single to lead St.<br />

Aloysius to a 6-0 victory over<br />

West Uni<strong>on</strong> in Game 1 of the<br />

MHSAA Class 1A champi<strong>on</strong>ship<br />

series Thursday afterno<strong>on</strong><br />

at Trustmark Park.<br />

The Flashes can win their<br />

first state title since 1976<br />

with a victory in Game 2<br />

t<strong>on</strong>ight at 7 at Trustmark<br />

Park.<br />

than this,” said PCA pitcher<br />

Reed Gord<strong>on</strong>, who allowed<br />

<strong>on</strong>ly two hits, <strong>on</strong>e walk, and<br />

<strong>on</strong>e unearned run in seven<br />

innings. “I knew from the<br />

start we were going to win.<br />

It was our destiny to win this<br />

game.”<br />

After the final out,<br />

the Eagles (25-9) openly<br />

embraced two tags — team<br />

of the decade in Class A, and<br />

a team of destiny. They w<strong>on</strong><br />

eight straight playoff games,<br />

“(Evans) did great today.<br />

He’s been doing that for<br />

us all postseas<strong>on</strong>,” St. Al<br />

catcher Sean Weaver said.<br />

“We’re definitely a c<strong>on</strong>fident<br />

team when he’s out there.<br />

He’s d<strong>on</strong>e it time and time<br />

again.”<br />

The shutout was Evans’<br />

third this seas<strong>on</strong>. He walked<br />

two batters, struck out six,<br />

and w<strong>on</strong> for the fifth time in<br />

the playoffs to improve his<br />

record to 12-2. Evans retired<br />

11 c<strong>on</strong>secutive batters at<br />

<strong>on</strong>e point and didn’t allow a<br />

runner past sec<strong>on</strong>d base.<br />

“I felt good. My arm felt<br />

lively. I warmed up a little<br />

and 19 of their last 22 overall.<br />

Yet five of the eight playoff<br />

wins, including both games<br />

against Bayou, were decided<br />

in the sixth inning or later.<br />

After a string of comebacks<br />

and lucky breaks throughout<br />

the postseas<strong>on</strong>, it was hard<br />

for the Eagles not to feel as<br />

if this champi<strong>on</strong>ship was<br />

meant to be.<br />

“I think we are a team of<br />

destiny. When we came out,<br />

we dug it out from inside<br />

l<strong>on</strong>ger, and I think that<br />

helped out a little bit,” Evans<br />

said. “I was hitting my spots<br />

extremely well. I got a firstpitch<br />

strike most of the day,<br />

and that was a good feeling.”<br />

The Flashes (27-4) gave<br />

Evans enough run support<br />

thanks to a mix of aggressive<br />

baserunning and sloppy<br />

defense by West Uni<strong>on</strong> (18-<br />

13).<br />

After Evans’ single put<br />

the Flashes ahead 2-0 in the<br />

bottom of the third inning,<br />

they reloaded the bases<br />

with <strong>on</strong>e out. Joseph Brown<br />

hit a grounder to the right<br />

side that West Uni<strong>on</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

baseman Will Basil scooped<br />

up and threw to first for the<br />

out.<br />

Courtesy runner Luke Burnett<br />

scored easily <strong>on</strong> the play,<br />

but third base coach Trey<br />

Clark also waved Weaver<br />

around from sec<strong>on</strong>d. Weaver<br />

A team of destiny<br />

Porters Chapel finishes off Bayou for MPSA Class A crown<br />

Porters Chapel’s 2009 MPSA<br />

Class A champi<strong>on</strong>ship run<br />

was in a word, improbable.<br />

But after Thursday’s 5-1<br />

victory in Game 2 over Bayou<br />

Academy, outfielder Josh<br />

Perry pinned down what<br />

made the Eagles click.<br />

The Eagles, he said, were a<br />

team of destiny. Not entitlement,<br />

but destiny.<br />

“I believe it,” Perry said<br />

after the Game 2 win. “When<br />

we came back after being<br />

down in the bottom of the<br />

team of destiny. No doubt. I<br />

knew we were down in this<br />

game, but I knew we were<br />

going to come back. I could<br />

feel it.”<br />

All the pieces fell into place<br />

for the most unlikely run<br />

imaginable. For much of the<br />

seas<strong>on</strong>, the Eagle pitching<br />

PCA coach Randy<br />

Wright could get to throw<br />

PCA’s team as they<br />

struggled to maintain any<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sistency.<br />

But how things can change.<br />

The Eagles peaked with<br />

impeccable timing.<br />

Junior Reed Gord<strong>on</strong><br />

emerged as the No. 2 pitcher<br />

with a great four-week run.<br />

Gord<strong>on</strong>, who earned the victory<br />

in Game 2 with a two-hit<br />

gem, was a huge reas<strong>on</strong> why<br />

the Eagles went undefeated<br />

in their champi<strong>on</strong>ship run.<br />

But was it easy? Nah. The<br />

“Cardiac Kids” always found<br />

ways to beat the odds and do<br />

ourselves,” said catcher Josh<br />

Hill, who drove in a run in<br />

the sixth inning with a sacrifice<br />

fly. “Everybody just<br />

played their part. You can’t<br />

say we’re not good enough to<br />

be state champi<strong>on</strong>s because<br />

we proved it.”<br />

Trailing 1-0 entering the<br />

bottom of the sixth, Colby<br />

Ole Miss beats<br />

Arkansas 7-5<br />

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Ole<br />

Miss needs all the wins it can get<br />

this weekend to stay in the hunt<br />

for a regular-seas<strong>on</strong> Southeastern<br />

C<strong>on</strong>ference title and solidify<br />

its resume in an effort to host an<br />

NCAA regi<strong>on</strong>al. Taking advantage<br />

of four Razorback errors over the<br />

first three innings, Ole Miss beat<br />

Arkansas 7-5 Thursday.<br />

The win means Ole Miss remains<br />

<strong>on</strong>e game behind LSU for the overall<br />

c<strong>on</strong>ference lead with two regular-seas<strong>on</strong><br />

games remaining. The<br />

Tigers beat Mississippi State 5-4 in<br />

But the Rebels did leapfrog Alabama<br />

STARKVILLE — Sec<strong>on</strong>d-ranked<br />

LSU rebounded from a 4-1 deficit<br />

with a three-run seventh inning<br />

Thursday night, and the Tigers<br />

went <strong>on</strong> to post a 5-4 victory over<br />

two games remaining in the regular<br />

to 24-28 overall, 8-19 in the SEC with<br />

Clutch sixth leads to PCA title<br />

By Jeff Byrd<br />

jbyrd@vicksburgpost.com<br />

For five innings, Bayou<br />

Academy pitcher Stewart<br />

Salley had Porters Chapel<br />

Academy hitters guessing.<br />

Then in what has become a<br />

familiar theme for the PCA in<br />

the MPSA Class A playoffs,<br />

things started happening. A<br />

wayward bunt by M<strong>on</strong>tana<br />

McDaniel that was just suppose<br />

to move the potential<br />

tying run in 1-0 game up a<br />

base set off a chain reacti<strong>on</strong><br />

that led to five huge runs and<br />

propelled the Eagles (25-8) to<br />

the school’s third state champi<strong>on</strong>ship<br />

this decade and<br />

the first since 2006. PCA’s 5-1<br />

win Thursday evening over<br />

Bayou ended the Colts’ twoyear<br />

reign as MPSA Class A<br />

champs.<br />

And it started with McDaniel’s<br />

popped-up bunt.<br />

“I really tried to get it<br />

down, but the ball was<br />

high and I just went with it<br />

and tried to push it by the<br />

pitcher,” McDaniel said. He<br />

pushed it all the way over<br />

Salley’s head and the Colts<br />

pitcher was unable to make<br />

a play.<br />

“Our defense was playing<br />

back in double play<br />

depth and I threw that pitch<br />

high. He hit it further than<br />

I thought it was going and<br />

I couldn’t get to it,” Salley<br />

said.<br />

McDaniel was safe at first<br />

and Colby Rushing, who had<br />

PEARL — Good defense can<br />

lead a team to a champi<strong>on</strong>ship<br />

and c<strong>on</strong>versely a bad defense<br />

can cost you <strong>on</strong>e. The latter<br />

cost West Uni<strong>on</strong> in Game 1<br />

of the Class 1A state champi<strong>on</strong>ship<br />

series Thursday afterno<strong>on</strong><br />

at Trustmark Park.<br />

The Eagles (18-13) committed<br />

three costly errors and <strong>on</strong>e<br />

mental breakdown and those<br />

miscues accounted for five of<br />

St. Aloysius’ six runs in a 6-0<br />

win. The Flashes (27-4) who<br />

played error-free ball, need<br />

just <strong>on</strong>e more win to cinch the<br />

series and claim the school’s<br />

first state champi<strong>on</strong>ship in<br />

baseball since 1976.<br />

For West Uni<strong>on</strong> coach<br />

Ashley Russell, he’s hoping<br />

his Eagles can play better<br />

t<strong>on</strong>ight in Game 2 when the<br />

series resumes at Trustmark<br />

Park.<br />

“We’ve got to make plays<br />

and our pitchers have to throw<br />

strikes. Our pitcher (Devin<br />

Brock) battled and got us a<br />

chance to stay in the game.<br />

But that overthrow of third<br />

base and then the line-drive<br />

error over the middle gave<br />

them runs. That killed us,”<br />

Russell said.<br />

St. Al<br />

C<strong>on</strong>tinued from Page B1.<br />

scored without a throw to<br />

make it 4-0.<br />

“I didn’t see the play. I saw<br />

Joseph hit the ball to the<br />

right side and I assumed it<br />

had g<strong>on</strong>e through,” Weaver<br />

said. “I came back to the<br />

dugout and saw Joseph and<br />

was w<strong>on</strong>dering what was<br />

going <strong>on</strong>.”<br />

The Flashes had a runner<br />

thrown out at the plate in the<br />

fifth inning, but loaded the<br />

bases again with two outs.<br />

Regan Nosser, who was <strong>on</strong><br />

third base, wandered far<br />

enough down the line to coax<br />

a pickoff throw from West<br />

Uni<strong>on</strong> catcher Caleb English.<br />

The throw sailed high and<br />

into left field, and Nosser<br />

prep baseball<br />

led off with a single to right,<br />

was now <strong>on</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d, with still<br />

no out.<br />

Salley then made another<br />

mistake, hitting Joe Borrello<br />

in the arm.<br />

“I threw a curveball there<br />

and it slipped,” Salley said.<br />

The bases were now loaded.<br />

Then there was an odd play<br />

that highlighted St. Al’s decisive<br />

four-run third inning.<br />

With two runs already in,<br />

thanks to an infield boot at<br />

sec<strong>on</strong>d base, St. Al’s Joseph<br />

Brown faced a <strong>on</strong>e-out, basesloaded<br />

situati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Brown took a 2-1 offering<br />

from Brock and drove it to<br />

scrambled toward home<br />

plate. Piers<strong>on</strong> Waring, who<br />

had been <strong>on</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>d base,<br />

saw the throw going high<br />

and immediately broke for<br />

third — and then rounded<br />

the bag and headed for home.<br />

He also scored easily, just a<br />

few steps behind Nosser, to<br />

make it 6-0.<br />

“It’s just what we do. We’re<br />

aggressive and we try to<br />

create chaos,” St. Al coach<br />

Clint Wilkers<strong>on</strong> said. “We<br />

got a guy thrown out at the<br />

plate, but I think that created<br />

runs for us. We got their<br />

catcher to make that throw<br />

and it turned into a couple<br />

runs.”<br />

the right side, deep enough to<br />

score Stephen Evans’ courtesy<br />

runner Luke Burnett. Sean<br />

Weaver, though, who was <strong>on</strong><br />

sec<strong>on</strong>d, never stopped.<br />

“I really think the first baseman<br />

(Hunter McQuarry)<br />

thought the inning was over.<br />

I looked back and saw Sean<br />

reading it the whole way. The<br />

The Colts now had to draw<br />

in their infield and then it<br />

was Josh Perry’s turn to<br />

come up big.<br />

“Everything was kind of<br />

working to our advantage. I<br />

wanted to keep it going. We<br />

got determined,” Perry said.<br />

Perry sent a ball past a<br />

diving shortstop and it was<br />

good enough to score Rushing<br />

and McDaniel for a 2-1<br />

lead.<br />

Josh Hill followed with<br />

a flyball to left and it was<br />

deep enough to score Borrello<br />

even though he just<br />

did avoid a tag <strong>on</strong> the relay<br />

throw. Salley then induced<br />

two groundballs to third<br />

base, but both times instead<br />

of going home, the play went<br />

to first and the Eagles managed<br />

two more runs to take a<br />

commanding 5-1 lead.<br />

“In that last inning, nothing<br />

went our way,” Salley said.<br />

“If we could’ve got the tag at<br />

the plate, we might get out of<br />

it down just 2-1. It just didn’t<br />

go our way.”<br />

Through the first five<br />

innings, Salley had things<br />

going his way. He struck out<br />

eight through the first four<br />

innings and then retired<br />

the side in order in the fifth.<br />

Two of his punchouts came<br />

against McDaniel, PCA’s<br />

most dangerous hitter.<br />

“I just couldn’t get going<br />

against him,” McDaniel said.<br />

“He’d throw a big fast ball<br />

and then come back with the<br />

curve ball and I would chase<br />

it. We were just dead for<br />

those five innings.”<br />

Bayou coach Rodney<br />

Martin, however, didn’t think<br />

a 1-0 score would hold up. He<br />

was right.<br />

“As good as the game was<br />

played, I knew the winner of<br />

this series was going to win<br />

it at the plate.”<br />

guy never looked back to the<br />

plate,” Brown said.<br />

Weaver said he never saw<br />

McQuarry turn his back, he<br />

just saw a wave home from<br />

third base coach Trey Clark.<br />

“I had no idea he had turned<br />

his back to us. I just saw the<br />

wave home and kept running.<br />

I knew it was a groundball to<br />

sec<strong>on</strong>d and when I saw the<br />

sign, I kept going.”<br />

Weaver rolled home with<br />

the inning’s fourth run and it<br />

gave St. Al a comfortable 4-0<br />

lead. It also gave Brown the<br />

distincti<strong>on</strong> of having a two-<br />

RBI groundout.<br />

“I’ve never d<strong>on</strong>e that, two<br />

RBIs <strong>on</strong> a grounder,” Brown<br />

said.<br />

West Uni<strong>on</strong> helped out the<br />

Flashes again in the fifth. A<br />

put two <strong>on</strong> with <strong>on</strong>e out.<br />

Following a Piers<strong>on</strong> Waring<br />

hit which resulted in a throwout<br />

at the plate, Blake Haygood<br />

came back to draw the<br />

that he popped high into the<br />

air. Instead of a potential<br />

rally-killing double play ball,<br />

though, the bunt sailed over<br />

the head of Bayou pitcher<br />

Stewart Salley and fell to the<br />

ground for a hit.<br />

“He threw it high and outside,<br />

and I pushed it that<br />

way,” McDaniel said. “I threw<br />

the bat down thinking he was<br />

going to catch it and double<br />

(Rushing) off. I bunted it<br />

hard enough that it was right<br />

in the hole.”<br />

After Joe Borrello was hit<br />

by a pitch to load the bases,<br />

Josh Perry ripped a single<br />

to bring in two runs and put<br />

PCA ahead 2-1. Hill’s sacrifice<br />

fly, a run-scoring error, and<br />

stretched the lead to 5-1.<br />

Down 1-0 for most of the<br />

got into gear as Colby Rushing<br />

wristed a ball behind<br />

first base. McDaniel’s bunt<br />

his bat upwards.<br />

But like everything in this<br />

run, the ball found a hole as<br />

it fell behind Bayou’s first<br />

McDaniel not <strong>on</strong>ly moved<br />

safely to set up a five-run<br />

With a big lead, the Eagles<br />

looked to Gord<strong>on</strong> to close it<br />

out. The big 6-foot-4 junior<br />

allowed <strong>on</strong>ly four baserunners<br />

through the first six<br />

innings, and wasn’t about to<br />

let the Colts get untracked in<br />

the seventh.<br />

Gord<strong>on</strong> struck out Salley<br />

to start the inning, then got<br />

Trey Wells to ground out to<br />

first. Chase Aguzzi followed<br />

with an easy popup to short<br />

that set off a wild celebrati<strong>on</strong><br />

even before the ball was<br />

caught. As the ball was heading<br />

downward into McDaniel’s<br />

glove, other members<br />

of PCA’s infield threw<br />

their gloves into the air and<br />

rushed toward Gord<strong>on</strong> to<br />

start the dogpile.<br />

It was all about choosing<br />

not to lose. Never giving up.<br />

Fill in your cliché here.<br />

But in the end, the most<br />

been the most sweet. The<br />

Greek philosopher Epicurius<br />

stated that the greater the<br />

difficulty, the more the glory<br />

in surmounting it.<br />

And that describes PCA’s<br />

run perfectly.<br />

“It ain’t no better feeling to<br />

play your last baseball game<br />

in your life and dogpile right<br />

there in fr<strong>on</strong>t of that pitcher’s<br />

mound,” senior infielder<br />

Clayt<strong>on</strong> Holmes said. “It<br />

that. That’s what every baseball<br />

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The murder<br />

case against Jesse James Hollywood<br />

read like a screenplay even before it was<br />

turned into the 2007 movie “Alpha Dog.”<br />

A 15-year-old boy was kidnapped and<br />

killed over a $1,200 drug debt owed by his<br />

half-brother. A 4 1/2-year manhunt ended<br />

<strong>on</strong> a beach in Brazil. And allegati<strong>on</strong>s of<br />

misc<strong>on</strong>duct by a prosecutor<br />

prompted a ruling by<br />

the U.S. Supreme Court.<br />

Now, the ending of the<br />

real-life story is about to<br />

be written.<br />

Nine years after the killing,<br />

the trial of Hollywood<br />

is finally set to begin<br />

today to determine if he<br />

ordered the kidnap-murder<br />

of Nicholas Markowitz. If c<strong>on</strong>victed,<br />

Hollywood could face the death penalty.<br />

The case has become a distant memory<br />

for many observers — lost am<strong>on</strong>g school<br />

shootings, salacious celebrity trials and<br />

other high-profile crimes across the<br />

country.<br />

But back in the summer of 2000, Southern<br />

California and much of the nati<strong>on</strong><br />

were intrigued by the brazen daylight<br />

kidnapping of Nicholas and the discovery<br />

of his body in a shallow grave in the hills<br />

above t<strong>on</strong>y Santa Barbara.<br />

Karen Sternheimer, a sociologist at the<br />

University of Southern California, said<br />

people were interested because the cleancut<br />

players came from middle-class families<br />

and appeared to have been swept up<br />

in something unusually sinister.<br />

“A case like this, unfortunately, people<br />

can relate to a little bit more,” Sternheimer<br />

said.<br />

Prosecutors believe Nicholas was kidnapped<br />

by Hollywood and his cohorts<br />

in August 2000, presumably to put pressure<br />

<strong>on</strong> his half-brother Ben Markowitz<br />

to repay m<strong>on</strong>ey he owed Hollywood for<br />

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sam<br />

Haskell’s publisher wanted to<br />

adorn the cover of his new<br />

book with celebrity photos, a<br />

logical move. During his days<br />

as a top Hollywood agent and<br />

executive, Haskell worked with<br />

George Clo<strong>on</strong>ey, Bill Cosby,<br />

Dolly Part<strong>on</strong> and more.<br />

But Haskell insisted <strong>on</strong> a<br />

picture of him<br />

and the real<br />

star in his life<br />

— his mother.<br />

“Promises<br />

I Made My<br />

Mother” is a<br />

memoir focusing<br />

<strong>on</strong> the less<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Haskell<br />

Sam<br />

Haskell<br />

got from<br />

his mom, Mary Kirkpatrick<br />

Haskell, and how he sought to<br />

follow her creed of being h<strong>on</strong>orable<br />

and kind — even in an<br />

industry routinely likened to a<br />

shark tank.<br />

For the next few days, authorities said<br />

Nicholas partied with his captors and felt<br />

he wasn’t in any danger. He was even left<br />

unattended by his kidnappers at <strong>on</strong>e point<br />

but didn’t try to <strong>leave</strong> or call any<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

Prosecutors said Hollywood decided to<br />

get rid of Nicholas after learning from an<br />

attorney that he could face life in pris<strong>on</strong><br />

for kidnapping.<br />

The witness list includes Ben Markowitz<br />

and the victim’s parents, Susan and<br />

Jeff Markowitz, who declined to comment<br />

about the upcoming trial. Three co-defendants<br />

who already have been c<strong>on</strong>victed,<br />

Hollywood’s ex-girlfriend and the attorney<br />

who advised him are also <strong>on</strong> the list<br />

of possible witnesses.<br />

Defense attorney James Blatt said Hollywood<br />

is innocent.<br />

“There is no questi<strong>on</strong> Mr. Hollywood<br />

in me a desire to succeed, a<br />

desire to be a good pers<strong>on</strong>, a<br />

desire to walk in the light. ...<br />

the best part of this mamma’s<br />

boy is my mamma.”<br />

In the book’s forward, former<br />

client Ray Romano (“Everybody<br />

Loves Raym<strong>on</strong>d”)<br />

describes the genial Haskell<br />

as “Gomer Pyle in a suit.”<br />

Haskell, who grew up in<br />

Amory, Miss., mixes accounts<br />

of his childhood and youth<br />

with his show-biz experience,<br />

all framed by his mother’s<br />

words of wisdom and the<br />

example she set.<br />

He called <strong>on</strong> that guidance<br />

during his 26-year career at<br />

William Morris, in which he<br />

rose to head the worldwide<br />

TV divisi<strong>on</strong>. (Last m<strong>on</strong>th,<br />

William Morris announced a<br />

merger with another agency,<br />

Endeavor.)<br />

Being c<strong>on</strong>sistent, and c<strong>on</strong>sistently<br />

kind, was key to his<br />

success and the approach he<br />

advocates in any field, Haskell<br />

said in an interview.<br />

“I truly believe that people<br />

who were the biggest sharks<br />

in the business treated me differently<br />

because they believed<br />

I deserved it,” he said.<br />

Haskell retired in 2004. He<br />

couldn’t support a management<br />

shift in philosophy that<br />

meant “the slow but deliberate<br />

destructi<strong>on</strong>” of a culture he<br />

helped build, he wrote.<br />

not give any direct or indirect order to<br />

commit this murder,” Blatt said.<br />

For Hollywood, now 29, nearly a third of<br />

his life has either been spent in jail or <strong>on</strong><br />

the run after the Markowitz slaying.<br />

Though small in stature — he stands<br />

5 feet, 5 inches — prosecutors said Hollywood<br />

<strong>on</strong>ce lived large supplying marijuana<br />

to dealers in the San Fernando<br />

Valley area of Los Angeles.<br />

Prosecutors claim he enlisted Ryan<br />

Hoyt, <strong>on</strong>e of his dealers, to kill Nicholas<br />

and delivered a gun and car for Hoyt<br />

to use in exchange for erasing his drug<br />

debt.<br />

“Hoyt understood that he had to take<br />

care of the problem, i.e, that he was to kill<br />

Nicholas,” Santa Barbara County Deputy<br />

District Attorney Joshua Lynn said in<br />

court documents. “Hoyt would have his<br />

$1,200 debt to Hollywood extinguished if<br />

he did so.”<br />

Prosecutors said Hoyt hit Nicholas over<br />

the head with a shovel and then shot him<br />

nine times before burying him with the<br />

gun, which they said bel<strong>on</strong>ged to Hollywood.<br />

Hikers discovered the body several<br />

days later.<br />

Hoyt was found guilty of kidnapping<br />

and murder and sentenced to death. He<br />

will not be called as a prosecuti<strong>on</strong> witness,<br />

Lynn said.<br />

Hollywood fled so<strong>on</strong> after the killing,<br />

stopping in Las Vegas and Colorado<br />

before heading to Canada. He was<br />

finally captured by authorities <strong>on</strong> a beach<br />

in Brazil, using a different name, and<br />

brought back to the United States.<br />

The case stalled for years after it was<br />

learned that Deputy District Attorney<br />

R<strong>on</strong> Z<strong>on</strong>en had turned over probati<strong>on</strong><br />

reports, police files and other documents<br />

to Nick Cassavetes, who directed “Alpha<br />

Dog,” starring Bruce Willis, Shar<strong>on</strong> St<strong>on</strong>e<br />

Woman living back home wants nights with boyfriend<br />

Dear Abby: I’m a 21-year-old<br />

woman who just moved back<br />

home after two years of living<br />

and learning <strong>on</strong> my own. My<br />

family has been w<strong>on</strong>derful<br />

to accept me back into their<br />

home until I finish my studies<br />

in a few m<strong>on</strong>ths, after which I<br />

assume I’ll be getting a job and<br />

my own place.<br />

I have an amazing boyfriend,<br />

“Jordan,” with whom I would<br />

love to spend some nights. I’m<br />

afraid if I do I would be disrespecting<br />

my parents’ wishes<br />

— my father is a preacher<br />

— but at the same time I feel<br />

restricted because I got used<br />

to being <strong>on</strong> my own and doing<br />

what I wanted.<br />

I know a few m<strong>on</strong>ths doesn’t<br />

sound like a l<strong>on</strong>g time, but<br />

what if I can’t get a job right<br />

away and have to stay here<br />

l<strong>on</strong>ger? Jordan and I aren’t<br />

ready to move in together,<br />

but we’d like some overnight<br />

visits. What do you think? —<br />

Dear Grown-Up Girl: Have<br />

your parents met Jordan? Do<br />

they like him? If they have and<br />

they do, it would make things<br />

easier <strong>on</strong> you. You should definitely<br />

respect your father’s<br />

positi<strong>on</strong> and sensitivities. A<br />

more acceptable compromise<br />

than spending “nights out”<br />

might be for you and Jordan<br />

to arrange some weekend getaways<br />

together. Of this I am<br />

certain: Young love will find<br />

a way.<br />

for 46 years, has been celebrating<br />

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE<br />

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION<br />

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Although you enjoy competitive<br />

sports, your ego might not be able to handle losing too well.<br />

You w<strong>on</strong>’t necessarily let others know, but that slow burn will<br />

eventually place you in a foul mood.<br />

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Make every effort not to accidentally<br />

reveal something told to you in c<strong>on</strong>fidence, or that l<strong>on</strong>gtime<br />

friendship might never be the same. Watch what comes<br />

out of your mouth.<br />

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Be wary of doing business with a<br />

pers<strong>on</strong> whose reputati<strong>on</strong> is suspect. Make sure that all agreements<br />

are put in writing and signed; d<strong>on</strong>’t depend <strong>on</strong> any kind<br />

of verbal promises.<br />

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — D<strong>on</strong>’t be unduly influenced by some<strong>on</strong>e<br />

with a disreputable history, no matter how enchanting the<br />

pers<strong>on</strong> is. This individual could be a master at leading others<br />

astray.<br />

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your mind is as sharp as a razor,<br />

but its workings could either be that of an inventive producer or<br />

a clever rati<strong>on</strong>alizer. D<strong>on</strong>’t make excuses why the latter should<br />

take precedence.<br />

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you rarely take any kind<br />

of game seriously, you might be tempted to bend the rules just<br />

to keep things competitive and fun. However, your competitor<br />

isn’t likely to see things that way.<br />

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s apt to be a bad move to make<br />

a commitment that you have no intenti<strong>on</strong> of keeping. It doesn’t<br />

matter how valid the reas<strong>on</strong> is; <strong>on</strong>ly that if you d<strong>on</strong>’t h<strong>on</strong>or it,<br />

things will not go well.<br />

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Mistakes are likely, so it might<br />

be smart not to try to fix an expensive item yourself; plus, you<br />

may even want to postp<strong>on</strong>e getting it fixed by a professi<strong>on</strong>al to<br />

another day.<br />

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There are no guarantees that<br />

you will have a good time regardless of company and m<strong>on</strong>ey<br />

spent.<br />

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Unless you are totally committed<br />

to your endeavor, regardless of its importance, the results<br />

could be sketchy. You have the ability to do so, but you might<br />

not have the c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You are gifted with accurate<br />

hunches and percepti<strong>on</strong>s, but this might not be a good time to<br />

place much importance in any of them.<br />

Aries (March 21-April 19) — If your social compani<strong>on</strong>s are all<br />

big spenders, that fat wallet you’re carrying around could get<br />

thinner. Be smart, and try not to match them dollar for dollar.<br />

TWEEN 12 & 20<br />

BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION<br />

Dr. Wallace: You told a 17-year-old girl, who wanted to get<br />

married at the end of her junior year in high school, to wait until<br />

after she graduated before “tying the knot.” I str<strong>on</strong>gly sec<strong>on</strong>d<br />

that moti<strong>on</strong>. My husband was 19 and I had just completed my<br />

junior year when we got married. I had plans to return to night<br />

school to earn my diploma, but things didn’t work out that way.<br />

I d<strong>on</strong>’t regret marrying my husband, and we love each other<br />

very much. But when I think of the many things I missed in my<br />

senior year, including the prom, senior yearbook and, of course,<br />

graduati<strong>on</strong>, I wish that I had waited that extra year.<br />

I am looking forward to my 4-year-old daughter going to<br />

proms and, hopefully, graduati<strong>on</strong> parties before she says, “I, Janet,<br />

take thee ... “ — Margo, Clint<strong>on</strong>, Iowa.<br />

Margo: Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s important<br />

for teens to hear it from those who have “been there and d<strong>on</strong>e<br />

that.”<br />

Dr. Wallace: I’m in the seventh grade and really like all of my<br />

classes and teachers, except <strong>on</strong>e. One of my teachers is always<br />

picking <strong>on</strong> me. He calls <strong>on</strong> me in class discussi<strong>on</strong>s. If I d<strong>on</strong>’t have<br />

the right answer, he makes a smart remark like, “Start doing all<br />

your homework and stop watching televisi<strong>on</strong>, and you’ll get a<br />

better grade in this class.” That makes the class laugh, but makes<br />

me feel terrible.<br />

I’m a good student and always have been. I’m getting A’s and<br />

B’s in all my other classes, but I’m <strong>on</strong>ly receiving a C from him. I<br />

think I deserve better. I’ve talked with him after class and asked<br />

him to stop picking <strong>on</strong> me, but all he said was, “I’m not picking<br />

<strong>on</strong> you. It’s all in your mind.” My brother had the same teacher<br />

last year. They had a huge argument and my brother was suspended<br />

for two days. Is it possible the teacher is mad at me because<br />

of my brother?<br />

How can I get him to stop picking <strong>on</strong> me and give me the<br />

grade I should be getting — at least a B? — Barb, Indianapolis.<br />

Barb: Most problems like this can be resolved with a parent-teacher-student<br />

c<strong>on</strong>ference. Have a parent arrange such a<br />

meeting. If for some reas<strong>on</strong> this fails to work, have a parent plan<br />

a meeting with your principal. An efficient principal can solve<br />

your problem.<br />

News Service.<br />

recently took a trip to Northern<br />

California to visit my<br />

older sister. While we were<br />

talking about our birthdays<br />

and our late parents, my sister<br />

dropped a bombshell. She<br />

informed me that my birthday<br />

was NOT Aug. 31, but actually<br />

Sept. 1 — like hers.<br />

As you can imagine, I was<br />

shocked. Why would my own<br />

mother lie to me about something<br />

as important as my own<br />

date of birth? Mom even went<br />

so far as to have the doctor<br />

change the date <strong>on</strong> my birth<br />

certificate! My two older<br />

brothers c<strong>on</strong>firmed it.<br />

I am devastated at the dish<strong>on</strong>esty.<br />

Why would a mother<br />

do such a thing? Celebrating<br />

my birthday will never be the<br />

same again. — Searching for<br />

Answers in Syracuse<br />

Dear Searching: If I had to<br />

guess, I’d say your mother<br />

was trying to do you a favor.<br />

She didn’t want you and your<br />

Dear Dr. Gott: I read your<br />

articles every day and really<br />

enjoy them and learn a lot at<br />

the same time.<br />

I own a book written in 1998<br />

by Dr. Jay Cohen in which he<br />

says that in the United States,<br />

a 70-year-old man has to have a<br />

systolic pressure of 170 before<br />

being placed <strong>on</strong> medicati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

He also says that in Canada,<br />

Australia and Great Britain,<br />

treatment is not given until<br />

the diastolic pressure is 100.<br />

I would like to know whether<br />

the people in those countries<br />

all have heart attacks and<br />

strokes or whether the pharmaceutical<br />

companies are<br />

trying to get every pers<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong><br />

a drug by lowering the guidelines<br />

to 120/70. What’s your<br />

input?<br />

Dear Reader: I’m a little c<strong>on</strong>fused<br />

by your questi<strong>on</strong> regarding<br />

systolic and diastolic pressures,<br />

but I will attempt to give<br />

my views.<br />

Hypertensi<strong>on</strong> is relatively<br />

comm<strong>on</strong> and is marked<br />

by abnormally high bloodpressure<br />

readings. The first<br />

number is known as the systolic<br />

and is obtained as the<br />

heart pumps blood through<br />

the system.<br />

The sec<strong>on</strong>d number, known<br />

as diastolic, is taken when the<br />

heart rests between beats.<br />

Readings of 140 systolic over 90<br />

diastolic signal hypertensi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

In defense of these numbers,<br />

time has changed the interpretati<strong>on</strong><br />

of normal versus<br />

high. For example, a number<br />

of years ago, a normal systolic<br />

was 100 plus a pers<strong>on</strong>’s age.<br />

Thus, the 170 you menti<strong>on</strong>ed<br />

would have been normal for<br />

a 70-year-old pers<strong>on</strong>. Today,<br />

we are finding that lower is<br />

better for the heart and entire<br />

system.<br />

L<strong>on</strong>g-term effects can lead<br />

to atherosclerosis, kidney failure,<br />

heart attack, stroke and<br />

more. The c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> rarely<br />

produces symptoms or external<br />

signs and is often referred<br />

to as a silent killer. On the positive<br />

side, high blood pressure<br />

can be c<strong>on</strong>trolled through lifestyle<br />

changes and, if necessary,<br />

medicati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Risk factors under our c<strong>on</strong>trol<br />

include the intake of too<br />

much sodium (salt) in the diet,<br />

excess alcohol c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>,<br />

cigarette smoking, stress and<br />

obesity.<br />

Thus, appropriate modificati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

can go a l<strong>on</strong>g way toward<br />

bringing levels within normal<br />

range.<br />

If you are c<strong>on</strong>cerned about<br />

your blood-pressure readings,<br />

make an appointment<br />

with your primary-care physician,<br />

who can check you with<br />

a stethoscope and cuff known<br />

as a sphygmomanometer.<br />

Dear Dr. Gott: I am 70 years<br />

of age and have a problem<br />

waking from a sound sleep<br />

by choking. This has happened<br />

three times over a<br />

two-year period. Thankfully,<br />

I have come out of it. What’s<br />

happening?<br />

Dear Reader: It would be<br />

my guess that you awoke after<br />

sleeping <strong>on</strong> your back and had<br />

excess saliva in your mouth,<br />

sister to have to share a birthday;<br />

she wanted each of you to<br />

have your own special day.<br />

What I find disc<strong>on</strong>certing is<br />

that the doctor would go al<strong>on</strong>g<br />

with it because a birth certificate<br />

is a legal document,<br />

and to change it is not <strong>on</strong>ly<br />

a breach of ethics, but also<br />

against the law.<br />

Dear Abby: I am being married<br />

requested.<br />

Another young woman at<br />

voice, already knows the<br />

words and has offered to sing<br />

for us. I want to tell my friend<br />

that Crystal isn’t taking this<br />

hire the other singer, but I’m<br />
