Miss Mississippi: It’s worth every step 

Tadlock heads 

to Las Vegas 

in January 

By Manivanh Chanprasith 

mchan@vicksburgpost.com 

Miss Mississippi 2009 Anna Tadlock 

almost didn’t try to return to 

the pageant this year, but then she 

came back and nabbed the 52nd 

crown in Vicksburg Saturday night. 

“I didn’t want last year (2008) to 

be my last memory,” Tadlock said 

Sunday she told 

on A7 

A look at the 

scholarships 

her mother. “I 

wanted to know 

I did everything I 

possibly could.” 

She made it to 

the Top 10 in 2008, 

but not into the Top 5. 

Encouraged by her parents, 

Tommy and Felicia Tadlock of Brandon, 

Tadlock decided to take her 

fourth shot. 

“My motivation was obviously the 

scholarship money, but because I 

knew I would be more prepared” 

confidence came easily, said the 

23-year-old Brookhaven native. 

Felicia Tadlock said her daughter 

“has never been a pageant person,” 

but interest began with her first pageant, 

during her junior year in high 

school. 

As an only child, she credits her 

talent and support to her parents. 

“They both played a vital and 

important role in helping me get 

ready by being good parents and 

being supportive,” Tadlock said. 

Tadlock’s father, her long-distance 

running buddy, helps her with current 

events. 

“My dad is like me in a sense in 

that we both love current events and 

getting into the political issues and 

talking about it with each other,” she 

said. “When I need to prep, my dad 

and I talk about that stuff while we 

would run together.” 

Her mother, she said, helps with 

her talent, style and what she wears

Health-care 

plan called 

socialism 

By The Associated Press 

WASHINGTON — The chairman of the 

Republican Party on today called President 

Barack Obama’s plan to overhaul health care 

“socialism,” accusing the president of conducting 

a risky experiment that will hurt the economy 

and force millions to drop their current 

coverage. 

Michael Steele, in remarks at the National 

Press Club, also said the president, House 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and key congressional 

committee chairmen are part of a “cabal” that 

wants to 

implement 

governmentrun 

health 

care. 

“Obama- 

Pelosi want 

to start building 

a colossal, 

closed 

health-care 

system where 

Washington 

decides. 

Republicans 

want and support 

an open 

health-care 

system where 

patients and 

‘Obama-Pelosi 

want to start 

building 

a colossal, 

closed healthcare 

system 

where Washington decides. 

Republicans want and 

support an open health-care 

system where patients and 

doctors make the decisions.’ 

michAel steele 

rePublican ParTy chairman 

doctors make the decisions,” Steele said. 

Asked if Obama’s health-care plan represented 

socialism, Steele responded: “Yes. Next 

question.” 

Obama has repeatedly said he does not favor 

a government-run health-care system. Legislation 

taking shape in the House envisions private 

insurance companies selling coverage in competition 

with the government. 

Even so, numerous Republicans in Congress 

continue to level the accusation at Obama and 

congressional Democrats, and Steele did so in 

sharply critical terms. 

“Many Democrats outside of the Obama-Pelosi-

‘That’s one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind’ 

On 40th anniversary, NASA backs astronaut’s claim on quote 


WASHINGTON — When Neil Armstrong 

first spoke from the moon 40 

years ago today, he said one thing and 

people on Earth heard another. 

What the world heard was grammatically 

flubbed: “That’s one small step 

for man; one giant leap for mankind.” 

Armstrong insists he said: “That’s 

one small step for ‘a’ man.” It’s just 

that people just didn’t hear it. 

Science, and NASA, back up 

Armstrong. 

“The ‘a’ was intended,” Armstrong 

said in a rare press conference in 1999. 

“I thought I said it. I can’t hear it when 

I listen on the radio reception here on 

Earth, so I’ll be happy if you just put it 

in parentheses.” 

But in 2006, a computer analysis 

found evidence that Armstrong said 

what he said he said. 

Peter Shann Ford, an Australian 

computer programmer, ran a software 

‘I thought I said it. I can’t hear it when 

I listen on the radio reception here on 

Earth, so I’ll be happy if you just put it 

in parentheses.’

analysis looking at sound waves and 

found a wave that would have been 

the missing “a.” It lasted 35 milliseconds, 

much too quick to be heard. 

Armstrong and experts at the 

Smithsonian Institution looked at the 

evidence and it was convincing, said 

Smithsonian space curator Roger 

Launius. 

“I find the technology interesting and 

useful,” Armstrong said in a statement. 

“I also find his conclusion persuasive.” 

And NASA stands by its moon man. 

“If Neil Armstrong says there was 

an ‘a,’ then as far as we’re concerned, 

there was ‘a,”’ NASA spokesman 

Michael Cabbage said. 

Armstrong is famously a man of few 

words, but he and NASA insist that 

he came up with those famous and 

profound words on his own. Launius 

believes him. 

In a 2001 NASA oral history, Armstrong 

said: “I thought about it after 

landing, and because we had a lot of 

other things to do, it was not something 

that I really concentrated on, 

but just something that was kind of 

passing around subliminally or in the 

background. But it, you know, was a 

pretty simple statement, talking about 

stepping off something. Why, it wasn’t 

a very complex thing. It was what it 

was.”

Governors see recovery 

from Katrina at convention 

By Emily Wagster Pettus 

The Associated Press 

BILOXI — Governors attending 

their national convention 

on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast 

have seen signs of Hurricane 

Katrina recovery — glitzy 

casinos packed with tourists, 

new condominium towers 

rising along the beach, the 

major expansion of a bustling 

state port. 

However, unless the governors 

skip the receptions with 

cocktails and jumbo shrimp, 

they probably won’t see the 

neighborhoods reduced to 

vacant lots and detached concrete 

steps to front porches 

that no longer exist four years 

after the monster storm. They 

won’t see the roads still torn 

up in the tiny town of Waveland 

or learn about the lagging 

city services in Pass Christian, 

where the tax base has eroded 

because its beachside Wal- 

Mart was gutted by Katrina 

and is still being rebuilt. 

Point Cadet sits on a milewide 

peninsula between the 

Gulf of Mexico and the Back 

Bay of Biloxi. On Aug. 29, 2005, 

Katrina flooded the low-lying 

area and turned the modest 

wooden-framed bungalows 

into toothpicks. 

Few people could afford to 

rebuild, and “for sale” signs 

now dot dozens of grassy 

vacant lots. A few homes 

have been rebuilt to meet new 

flood elevation requirements, 

though most former Point 

Cadet residents have moved 

farther inland. 

Locals still talk about Katrina 

with a mixture of awe, anger 

and sadness. They’re grateful 

to the volunteers who cleaned 

debris and fed the hungry. But 

a bitterness creeps into people’s 

voices as they talk about

New Orleans getting most 

of the media attention after 

Katrina, when the levees burst 

and the city flooded. 

Katrina scraped across 

southern Louisiana before 

making its final landfall near 

Bay St. Louis, about 50 miles 

west of New Orleans and 40 

miles east of Biloxi. 

Mississippi’s Republican 

governor, Haley Barbour, had 

been in office just more than a 

year and a half when Katrina 

hit. With the help of Mississippi 

Sen. Thad Cochran, who 

chaired the Appropriations 

Committee when Republicans 

were still in the majority, Barbour 

used his connections to 

help his state get $5.4 billion 

in federal recovery aid. 

And those connections 

remain deep: Barbour served 

as Republican National Committee 

chairman from 1993- 

97, helping the GOP take over 

majorities in the U.S. House 

and Senate in 1994. 

He’s now chairman of 

the Republican Governors 

Association.

Raymond jail inmates battling tuberculosis 

RAYMOND, Miss. — 

Hinds County officials 

will soon discuss ways to 

quickly detect the infectious 

lung disease tuberculosis in 

jail inmates. 

Last month, state health 

officials conducted followup 

tests on 25 Hinds County 

inmates after two cases of 

tuberculosis were found 

at the Raymond jail this 

spring. 

The sheriff’s department 

was set to meet with county 

supervisors today to discuss 

the issue. 

The discussion will cover 

whether the jail needs to 

hire another nurse to monitor 

inmates with latent 

tuberculosis. 

Officials also may consider 

whether the county 

should improve its screening 

methods. 

Catching the illness early 

could lead to savings in 

inmate medical costs. The 

county has spent $1.1 million 

on inmate medical care 

this fiscal year. 

The fiscal year ends Sept. 

30.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 

JENNINGS, La. — A Jennings 

woman whose 2-yearold 

son died in a locked car 

has been charged with negligent 

homicide. 

Authorities said Hollie 

Ann Simon, 25, was arrested 

Thursday after the toddler 

was found unresponsive 

inside the car. 

Detective Jean Cooley 

said police and emergency 

responders were called to 

the home at about 3:30 p.m. 

Thursday after the mother 

and a relative pulled the 

toddler out of the car. 

The boy was taken to Jennings 

American Legion 

Hospital where he was pronounced 

dead. 

Cooley said Simon was 

asleep at home when the 

2-year-old and a 3-year-old 

sibling got into her unlocked 

car, which was parked on 

the side of the family’s 

home. 

Cooley said the 3-year-old 

later got out and inadvertently 

locked the doors.

Death row inmate 

seeks new trial 

JACKSON, Miss. — Death 

row inmate Frederick 

Bell argues in court documents 

for a new trial on the 

grounds that his attorney 

could have done a better job 

of investigating his alleged 

alibi. 

The attorney general’s 

office said it wouldn’t have 

mattered because the evidence 

was overwhelming 

against Bell. 

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court 

of Appeals will hear arguments 

in the case today in 

Houston, Texas. 

A federal judge in Mississippi 

in 2008 granted 

Bell, now 37, a certificate of 

appealability on the issue of 

ineffective counsel. 

A certificate of appealability 

is similar to a post-conviction 

petition, in which an 

inmate argues he has found 

new evidence — or a possible 

constitutional issue — 

that could persuade a court 

to order a new trial. 

Bell was convicted in 1993 

in Grenada County for killing 

a grocery store clerk. 

The Mississippi Supreme 

Court upheld his conviction 

and death sentence in 1998. 

The U.S. Supreme Court 

refused to hear his appeal 

in 1999.

JACK VIX SAYS: Congratulations, Miss Mississippi Anna Tadlock. 

OUR OPINION 

GM 

Realistic managers can turn firm around 

Fritz Henderson, the new CEO 

of the new General Motors, said 

all the right things as the automaker 

emerged from a 40-day 

trek through the desert of bankruptcy. 

Truth is, lots of people 

have been saying lots of right 

things about America’s auto 

industry. 

The restructured company, 

Henderson said, will focus on 

making cars and trucks that consumers 

want to drive. The automaker 

will adapt to the public’s 

changing tastes and needs more 

quickly, he said. It will champion 

innovation. It will pay back 

$50 billion in federal loans ahead 

of schedule. And it will turn a 

profit. 

Of course, if talk alone sold 

automobiles, all of America 

would get a new set of wheels 

every week or two. 

The old GM leadership also had 

a ready explanation for every 

challenge — even as they ran a 

good company in the ground by 

allowing their overhead costs 

and cash flow to ruin what had 

been a responsibly run company. 

GM — for most of its existence 

— could weather bad times and 

slow sales. But the company had 

taken on so much debt that even 

the slightest downturn would 

— and did — send it into a tailspin 

despite the quality of its 

products. 

Now, with GM having accelerated 

into and out of bankruptcy, 

the company has its last, 

best chance to repair its image, 

regain market share and restore 

profitability. 

One key is for the company’s 

new majority shareholder — the 

federal government, which controls 

61 percent of GM — to stay 

out of the day-to-day decisionmaking. 

The Obama administration, 

to its credit, has promised 

to offer only general oversight. 

A second key is for the company 

to buy its way out from 

under government control as 

quickly as possible. In addition 

to the American stake, the Canadian 

government owns 11 percent 

of GM. Even if the assurance 

of limited government interference 

proves true, the company 

is unlikely to have the flexibility 

it needs to compete in the long 

term until it stands on its own. 

Finally, and most important, 

GM must control costs while 

keeping quality solid. For too 

long, GM executives reassured 

themselves with false economics, 

betting they could keep boosting 

wages, benefits and retirement 

packages beyond Cadillac levels 

as long as the flow of new money 

kept coming. When sales dipped, 

the walls came crashing in. 

Even in its diminished form, 

GM remains an important economic 

engine for the nation. The 

journey back to financial stability 

is still perilous, but the 

smooth trip through bankruptcy 

has at least given it a chance.

MODERATELY CONFUSED 

by Bill Stahler 

Lunar landing’s benefits eclipsed practical stuff 

I’ve written before about the July 

night in the Half-Moon Lodge at 

Warner-Tully Y Camp when I joined 

about 80 other kids to watch Neil 

Armstrong’s first steps on the full 

moon, the real one. 

Forty years ago. 

The fact that someone had found 

or brought a TV to Warner-Tully 

was pretty amazing in itself. It was a 

13-inch black and white portable. The 

camp director put it on top of a spinet 

piano, wiggled the rabbit ears and 

we waited and waited — sitting on 

the concrete floor long past normal 

lights out — to see the blurry images 

on a TV that offered blurry images 

even when the camera wasn’t a quarter-million 

miles in space. Horseflies 

batted themselves against the 

window screens, attempting to get 

at us. 

In those days, we could all recite 

NASA facts and figures. 

Today it’s hard to describe how 

great the anticipation was and how 

many years Americans, collectively, 

sat on the edges of their seats needing 

to see something done right. 

CHARLIE 

MITCHELL 

Even as kids, we had the sense that 

the nation otherwise was coming 

apart at the seams. Two Kennedys 

murdered and one Martin Luther 

King. Civil rights marches and killings 

punctuated a general racial tension 

that was increasing by the day. 

Hippies, drugs, rebellion songs, sitins. 

A president who was almost held 

prisoner in the White House by protests 

against an undeclared jungle 

war in which 10 times as many U.S. 

soldiers died than have in Iraq and 

Afghanistan combined. 

Mercury, Gemini and Apollo got 

us through the 1960s. We were a 

Mercury, Gemini and Apollo got 

us through the 1960s. We were a 

people of accomplishment after 

all. We would end a tempestuous 

decade with a win for bravery and 

brain-power. 

people of accomplishment after all. 

We would end a tempestuous decade 

with a win for bravery and brainpower. 

Even as kids, we sensed that 

was pretty important. 

This month, Scientific American 

magazine reminds us that the day 

Apollo 11 landed on the moon, NASA 

had nine more manned lunar missions 

on the drawing board. 

Interest, however, waned and fear 

rose, especially after the near-disaster 

of Apollo 13. In the mid-1960s, 

NASA had 400,000 staffers and contractors 

on its payroll. The year after 

Apollo 11, the number was down to 

190,000 and NASA announced 50,000 

more jobs would be cut. 

Over the past few days, a lot of the 

reminiscing has been about whether 

space programs, then and now, are 

worth the money. 

A dominant feature of a lot of the 

articles has been to attempt to list 

practical “spinoffs” of space science. 

They are amazing and there really 

are too many to quantify. 

• The Owens-Corning fabric created 

for space suits is now the roofing 

material for sports stadiums. 

• Almost all cordless tools are the 

progeny of a Black and Decker contract 

to develop a drill to penetrate 

the moon’s surface. 

• Satellite TV. 

• Polarized, scratch-resistant 

sunglasses. 

• Medical imaging devices from 

MRIs to CAT scans are the progeny 

of machines developed for applications 

in space exploration. 

These days, hot-dog eating contests 

get more TV time and viewers than 

shuttle missions or International 

Space Station. 

It’s summer, so kids are still gathering 

in the Half-Moon Lodge down at 

Warner-Tully. I haven’t been there in 

many years, but I’m told the place is 

air-conditioned, which probably frustrates 

the horseflies even more than 

the window screens. There may even 

be a big, flat-screen TV for videos 

and such. 

But I imagine — or at least I hope 

— there are kids in the Half-Moon 

like we were. 

The practical aspects of space 

exploration or the cost-benefit ratio 

didn’t matter to us. 

In our vocabulary of that day, pretty 

much all we could say was, “neat” 

or “cool.” 

That summed it up. 

Kids then and now need to sense 

that people can do stuff — good stuff, 

“impossible” stuff — when they focus 

and put their minds to it.

Friend: Slain woman, suspect had split up 

Man accused of killing estranged wife, 5 other people in Tennessee, Alabama 

FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn. 

(AP) — A family friend said 

he’d seen fights between a slain 

southern Tennessee woman 

and the estranged husband 

accused of killing her and five 

other people. 

Jason Shaffer, 30, is charged 

with six counts of homicide in 

the deaths of his 38-year-old 

wife, Traci Shaffer, her father, 

brother, teenage son and a 

neighbor in rural Fayetteville. 

He also is charged with a killing 

in Huntsville, Ala., some 30 

miles south. 

“As far as seeing him do something 

like this, you just can’t 

see it,” family friend James 

Wilson told The Associated 

Press Sunday. He said the Shaffers 

had “gotten into it” before 

as far as fighting, but he never 

expected such violence. 

Wilson said he’s the boyfriend 

of Traci Shaffer’s sister, Jennifer, 

who is devastated by the 

loss of her family. 

“She’s not handling it and 

I can’t blame her,” he said.

Traci Shaffer, 

her son, 

Devin Brooks, 

and neighbor, 

Robert Berber, 

both 16, were 

found dead 

Saturday in her 

home in rural 

Fayetteville, said Tennessee 

Bureau of Investigation spokesman 

Kristin Helm. The bodies 

of Traci Shaffer’s brother, Chris 

Hall, 34, and father Billy Hall, 

57, were found in a home across 

the road. 

The sixth victim was found 

at Hall Cultured Marble Granite 

in Huntsville. Wilson said 

Hall’s family owns the business. 

Police named the victim 

as Sidney Wade Dempsey, 50, 

a worker and acquaintance 

of Shaffer’s who was living at 

the business, the Elk Valley 

Times in Fayetteville reported. 

A Huntsville police dispatcher 

said today she could not release 

any information.

The Shaffers were no longer 

sharing a home but had not 

filed for separation, said the 

29-year-old Wilson, who was 

gathering belongings from Traci’s 

house in Lincoln County. 

The couple had a 4-year-old 

daughter, and Wilson said 

police told him the girl was 

home during the killings but 

wasn’t hurt. Wilson said he met 

Jacob Shaffer when they were 

installing drywall, but they had 

stopped being friends about a 

year and a half ago. 

Shaffer was still installing 

drywall around Huntsville, and 

Billy Hall had been driving him 

back and forth to work before 

the couple split, Wilson said. 

“Her dad done everything he 

could for Jacob,” Wilson said. 

“I have no idea why he walked 

across the street to her daddy 

and her brother. Her daddy 

never done anything wrong.” 

Helm said Jason Shaffer’s 

motive was domestic, but 

authorities have not released 

a chronology of the killings or 

many details, including how

just

the six died. 

Traci’s slain son and a 9-yearold 

daughter, who wasn’t home 

during the killings, were from 

a previous relationship, Wilson 

said. Her sister was trying to 

figure out how to pay for her 

family’s funeral, he said. 

Jacob Shaffer of Fayetteville 

was being held without bond at 

the Lincoln County Jail and no 

lawyer for him was listed. 

Lincoln County Sheriff 

Murray Blackwelder said Saturday 

that his department 

was investigating three crime 

scenes and would not confirm 

the causes of death in 

what he called “horrendous” 

killings. Autopsies were performed 

Sunday but no results 

were released. Wilson said 

police wouldn’t tell him how 

the family was killed.

“Whatever look is on my 

face, she knows whether it’s 

good or bad,” said Felicia 

Tadlock, who also sings and 

passed along her musical 

genes to her daughter. 

The new Miss Mississippi, 

who began singing at her 

church when she was 5, said 

she is hoping to take to the 

Miss America pageant in 

Las Vegas in January the 

same song she performed 

here last week and last 

year, “A New Life,” but she 

will have to have it cleared 

by the national pageant’s 

officials. 

Along with all the scholarships 

and perks that come 

with the crown, Tadlock 

said she is excited about the 

opportunity to promote her 

platform, music education for 

children. 

“I firmly believe that when 

you involve a child in the 

arts, especially in music 

early on, it’s going to have 

a profound impact on their 

educational opportunity 

later on,” she said. “I feel 

every child should have 

the opportunity for that 

experience.” 

A 2008 Mississippi State 

University graduate, Tadlock 

plans to return to school 

to obtain a master’s degree 

and some day teach English 

at the high school or college 

level. 

She said she is unsure of 

which graduate school she 

would like to attend, but 

Mississippi State is in her 

blood, having had both parents, 

grandparents and a 

number of aunts and uncles 

graduate from there. 

The road to the 2010 

Miss America competition 

has already begun for the 

5-foot-4 blonde, who will be 

traveling back and forth 

from Brandon to Vicksburg 

for her preparations. 

Looking back at her four 

years in the Miss Mississippi 

program, she said, 

“It’s been a journey, but 

it’s worth every step of the 

way.” 

Pageant cash, scholarships down from 2008 

By Manivanh Chanprasith 

mchan@vicksburgpost.com 

The Miss Mississippi Corporation 

offered $567,123 in cash and in-kind 

scholarships this year, down from 

$698,638 offered last year, and pageant 

officials say it’s because they wanted to 

be conservative. 

“We knew there were going to be 

some rising costs as far as production 

and so forth,” said David Blackledge, 

chairman of the Miss Mississippi Corporation 

and executive director of the 

pageant. “We took some money from 

the patron program and moved it into 

the scholarships.” 

In-kind scholarships offered this year 

totaled $455,123, down from last year’s 

$581,938. 

A total of $112,000 in cash scholarships 

was awarded this year, down from 

$116,700 last year. 

Blackledge said business and individual 

donations have remained steady, so 

he doesn’t attribute the slight decrease 

to current economic trends. 

All 47 women who competed this year

care.” 

The GOP ads show children 

who presumably would be 

burdened as adult taxpayers 

with the cost of the healthcare 

overhaul. The commercials 

are being broadcast 

in Nevada, home of Senate 

Majority Leader Harry Reid, 

as well Arkansas and North 

Dakota, states represented 

in the Senate by moderate 

Democrats. The ad is also 

being posted on the Internet, 

in coordination with a grassroots 

campaign. 

Separately, the insurance 

industry, which challenged 

President Bill Clinton’s 

health-care effort in the early 

1990s, launched its first TV 

ads of this year’s health-care 

fight. The multimillion-dollar 

campaign, being aired 

nationally on cable stations, 

restates the industry’s support 

for an overhaul that provides 

universal coverage and 

its offer to cover people who 

are already sick. The ad campaign 

does not mention the 

insurers’ strong opposition 

to creating a government-run 

insurance option. 

In his speech, Steele broadened 

his attack beyond 

health care to question 

Obama’s truthfulness. 

The president “tells us he 

doesn’t want to spend more 

than we have, he doesn’t 

want the deficit to go up, he 

doesn’t want to live off borrowed 

money. But he also 

told us he didn’t want to run 

an auto company. President 

Obama justifies this spending 

by saying the devil made 

him do it. He doesn’t want 

to spend trillions we can’t 

afford, but he says he just 

can’t help it,” Steele said in 

the prepared excerpts. 

The Republican chairman 

is making his speech at a 

time when Obama is struggling 

to advance his trademark 

health-care proposal 

after a period of evident 

progress. Two of three House

100-year-olds’ club starting 

to get crowded across globe 

WASHINGTON — It’s 

starting to get crowded in the 

100-year-olds’ club. 

Once virtually nonexistent, 

the world’s population 

of centenarians is projected 

to reach nearly 6 million by 

midcentury. That’s pushing 

the median age toward 50 in 

many developed nations and 

challenging views of what it 

means to be old and middleage. 

The number of centenarians 

already has jumped from 

an estimated few thousand 

in 1950 to more than 340,000 

worldwide today, with the 

highest concentrations in 

the U.S. and Japan, according 

to the latest Census 

Bureau figures and a report 

being released today by the 

National Institute on Aging. 

Their numbers are projected 

to grow at more than 

20 times the rate of the total 

population by 2050, making 

them the fastest growing age 

segment. 

Demographers attribute 

booming long-livers to 

decades of medical advances 

and improved diets, which 

have reduced heart disease 

and stroke. Genetics and 

lifestyle also play a factor. 

So, too, do doctors who are 

more willing to aggressively 

treat the health problems of 

people once considered too 

old for such care. 

In the U.S., centenarians 

are expected to increase 

from 75,000 to more than 

600,000 by midcentury. Those 

primarily are baby boomers 

hitting the 100-year mark. 

Report: CIT board 

OKs $3B rescue loan 

NEW YORK — CIT Group 

Inc.’s board approved a deal

bankruptcy with a $3 billion 

rescue loan, according to 

published reports. 

The emergency loan gives 

the commercial lender some

Lower IQ scores linked 

to prenatal pollution 

The associated press 

Ann Nixon Cooper, center, prepares to cut her birthday cake 

as she celebrates her 107th birthday party at her home in 

Atlanta surrounded by family and friends. 

CHICAGO — Researchers 

for the first time have linked 

air pollution exposure before 

birth with lower IQ scores 

in childhood, bolstering evidence 

that smog may harm 

the developing brain. 

The results are in a study of 

249 children of New York City 

women who wore backpack 

air monitors for 48 hours 

during the last few months of 

pregnancy. 

They lived in mostly lowincome 

neighborhoods in 

northern Manhattan and 

the South Bronx. They had 

varying levels of exposure 

to typical kinds of urban air 

pollution, mostly from car, 

bus and truck exhaust. 

At age 5, before starting 

school, the children 

were given IQ tests. Those 

exposed to the most pollution 

before birth scored on 

average four to five points 

lower than children with less 

exposure. 

That’s a big enough difference 

that it could affect children’s 

performance in school, 

said Frederica Perera, the 

study’s lead author and director 

of the Columbia Center 

for Children’s Environmental 

Health. 

Interior to halt 

Grand Canyon mining 

WASHINGTON — Interior 

Secretary Ken Salazar 

will announce today that his 

department is temporarily 

barring the filing of new uranium 

mining claims on about 

1 million acres near the 

Grand Canyon, an Obama 

administration official said. 

The land is being “segregated” 

for two years so that 

the department can study 

whether it should be permanently 

withdrawn from 

mining activity, said the 

official. 

The announcement comes 

ahead of Tuesday’s congressional 

hearing on a bill to 

set aside more than 1 million 

acres of federal lands 

north and south of the 

canyon.

Vick’s dogfighting 

sentence is over 

HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — 

Suspended NFL star Michael 

Vick’s federal dogfighting 

sentence ended 

today, freeing him to lobby 

for a return to the field. 

Vick’s attorney Lawrence 

Woodward told The Associated 

Press outside Vick’s 

suburban Virginia home 

that the former Atlanta 

Falcons quarterback had 

been released from federal 

custody as scheduled. 

That means Vick no longer 

has to wear the electronic 

monitor he’s had on while 

under home confinement 

for the last two months of 

his 23-month sentence. 

Shortly before Woodward 

came out of the house, two 

men in a government car 

with a federal Bureau of 

Prisons folder on the dashboard 

paid a brief visit to 

the home. They carried a 

case similar to the one that 

Vick’s ankle monitor was 

delivered in when he started 

home confinement. 

Freedom will allow Vick 

to step up his efforts to resume 

his pro football career. 

Vick hopes to soon 

meet with NFL commissioner 

Roger Goodell, who 

has said he would review 

Vick’s status after Vick completed 

his sentence. 

Goodell has said he 

wants to sit down with 

Vick, but it’s unclear when 

that face-to-face meeting 

will take place. 

“The review of his status 

is ongoing,” league spokesman 

Greg Aiello said today. 

“There are no further details 

and no timetable.” 

If Vick is able to return to 

the NFL, it won’t be with 

Atlanta. The Falcons released 

Vick in June. 

“Michael did an egregious 

thing,” Goodell told 

The Associated Press in 

April. “He has paid a very 

significant price for that.” 

Vick will remain on probation 

for three years. He 

also is under a three-year 

suspended sentence for a 

state dogfighting conviction.

MSU running back Dixon arrested in Starkville 

From staff reports 

BaSEBaLL 

STARKVILLE — Anthony 

Dixon, Mississippi State’s 

leading rusher the past two 

seasons, was arrested Saturday 

night in Starkville on 

three midemeanor charges. 

The Starkville Daily News 

and The Clarion-Ledger of 

Jackson reported the arrest 

was for driving under the 

influence, careless driving 

and no proof of insurance. 

Dixon 

was arrested 

shortly after 

10 p.m. on 

Saturday 

night. According 

to the 

arrest report 

obtained by 

Anthony 

the Clarion- 

Dixon 

Ledger, Dixon 

was stopped by police after 

driving erratically for several 

blocks. 

When the traffic stop was 

made, the officer “noticed 

that Mr. Dixon’s speech was 

slurred and his eyes were 

blood shot,” according to 

the report. The officer also 

observed two champagne 

bottles on the floor of the car. 

Dixon refused a field sobriety 

test and was taken to 

the police station. He again 

refused a breathalyzer test

Atlanta Braves pitcher Javier Vazquez delivers in the first 

inning of Sunday’s game against the New York Mets. 

and was then arrested and 

issued citations for careless 

driving and no proof of liability 

insurance. 

Team spokesman Joe Galbraith 

said coach Dan Mullen 

would wait to take disciplinary 

action. 

“I can confirm we know 

about the incident and we 

are going to look into it and 

determine all the facts before 

a decision,” MSU football 

team spokesman Joe Galbraith 

told the Starkville 

Daily News on Sunday. 

Dixon, a senior from Terry, 

rushed for 1,066 yards and 14 

touchdowns in 2007, when he 

led the Bulldogs to a Liberty 

Bowl victory over Central 

Florida. He is just 626 yards 

short of passing Jerious Norwood 

for MSU’s career rushing 

yards record. Dixon was 

also a preseason secondteam 

selection to the All-SEC 

team announced last week. 

Watson wilts on final hole of British Open 


TURNBERRY, Scotland — 

As Tom Watson stood on the 

18th green, where it had all 

slipped away not more than 

an hour earlier, he looked 

down wistfully at the trophy 

Stewart Cink was clutching. 

Watson’s name is engraved 

on the claret jug five times. 

He must have wondered 

how good No. 6 would have 

felt. 

And how much it hurt now. 

A British Open that was 

improbable from beginning 

to end saved its biggest 

shocker for the end. A guy 

just a few years shy of Social 

Security and playing on a 

surgically replaced hip had 

a chance to win golf’s oldest 

major. 

Scratch that. Should have 

won. 

“The old fogey almost did 

it,” Watson said, unable to 

hide the sadness that he and 

just about everyone outside 

of Cink’s immediate family 

was feeling in the fading light 

of a Sunday evening along 

the Scottish coast. 

Just when everyone finally 

believed — “By God, can it 

really happen?” a BBC commentator 

screamed after 

Watson sank another clutch 

putt — it was snatched away 

in such gut-wrenching fashion 

that even the winner 

sounded a bit apologetic 

about taking possession of 

the Open’s cherished prize. 

“I have to be honest,” Cink 

said. “Playing against Tom 

in the playoff, it’s mixed feelings 

because I’ve watched 

him with such admiration all 

week. And of course it would 

come down to me against 

him in the playoff.” 

Give Cink his due. He 

capped a 1-under 69 in 

the final round of a major 

with the biggest putt of his 

career, a 12-foot birdie on 

the 72nd hole that had to go 

in if he was going to have

Mets, 7-1 


ATLANTA — The Atlanta 

Braves are looking more like 

contenders. The New York 

Mets are looking for help. 

Yunel Escobar had two of 

his four RBIs in a five-run 

fifth inning and the Braves 

beat New York 7-1 on Sunday 

night as the Mets lost yet 

another player to an injury. 

“He’s been coming 

through,” Braves manager 

Bobby Cox said of Escobar, 

who is 8-for-11 with eight 

RBIs in three games hitting

any chance. When Watson 

opened the door, Cink busted 

it down with two birdies in 

the four-hole playoff, routing 

an opponent who suddenly 

looked his age by a whopping 

six strokes. 

But, unfair as it may seem, 

the Open champion was 

a mere bit player in this 

drama. 

This was all about a 

59-year-old golfer who shot 

a 65 on the first day, led after 

the next two rounds and was 

up by a stroke heading to the 

72nd hole. 

The script was perfect. 

Watson was playing the 

same course where he bested 

Jack Nicklaus in the famous 

“Duel in the Sun” of 1977.

away, leaving Watson to 

claim the lead all to himself 

at No. 17 with a tap-in birdie.

Watson pulled out the same

Big day by Jones 

powers M-Braves 

From staff reports 

With one scintillating 

afternoon, Travis Jones 

erased two months’ worth of 

frustration. 

The light-hitting second 

baseman went 3-for-3 with a 

homer and four RBIs Sunday, 

leading the Mississippi 

Braves to a 4-3 win over the 

Huntsville Stars at Trustmark 

Park. 

Jones had been hitting 

just .186 over his previous 39 

games in June and July. He 

had as many hits on Sunday 

as he did in the first 13 games 

of this month. He drove in 

a run with a single in the 

bottom of the second inning, 

then put the M-Braves ahead 

for good with a three-run 

homer in the fourth. 

mINOR LEagUE 

BaSEBaLL 

Jones’ blast to left field, his 

fourth of the year, gave the 

M-Braves a 4-2 lead. It was 

the team’s first three-run 

home run of the season. They 

have hit just 35 homers total 

in 95 games, last in the Southern 

League. 

Drew Anderson hit a solo 

homer in the ninth inning for 

Huntsville, and finished the 

game 2-for-3. Chuck Caufield 

and Yohannis Perez also had 

two hits apiece. 

Concepcion Rodriguez had 

two hits and scored twice for 

the M-Braves. Kyle Cofield 

(6-3) earned the win, going 6 

2/3 innings and allowing two 

runs on eight hits.

Venom finishes 

second in division 

The Vicksburg Venom had 

another memorable weekend. 

The Venom advanced to the championship 

game in the Blue Division 

of the USSSA 11-year-olds’ Global 

World Series on Sunday in Southaven, 

before losing 7-1 to the DeSoto 

Tigers and finishing second. The 

tournament included 18 teams from 

seven states, and teams were split 

into competitive divisions after a 

preliminary round. 

The Venom advanced by beating 

the Arkansas Naturals on Saturday, 

10-6, and the Jaguars 11-2 in 

the semifinals. Dale Griffith scattered 

four hits and two runs in five 

innings to get the win against the 

Naturals, a team from Springdale, 

Ark. Griffith also went 2-for-3 with 

a two-run homer. 

Lane Hynum had a total of four 

hits in the two victories, and Will 

Pierce had two hits against the 

Naturals. 

Pierce went 4-for-9 with a double, 

three RBIs, three runs scored and 

two stolen bases in three tournament 

games.

USF kicker survives 

fall at Busch Gardens 

TAMPA, Fla. — A University of 

South Florida football player was 

recovering at a hospital after falling 

35 feet from a gondola ride 

while working at Busch Gardens in 

Tampa, team officials said. 

Team officials identified the 

player as Maikon Bonani, 20, USF’s 

starting kicker. The park did not 

immediately release the employee’s 

name or the extent of his injuries, 

said spokeswoman Jill Revelle. 

The employee was working Saturday 

at the Skyride attraction. After 

sending passengers on a gondola 

out of the station, the employee 

thought the door might be unlocked 

and held onto the door to check it 

while guests sat on the ride, according 

to a park statement. He held on 

as the gondola took off — then 35 

feet above the ground — let go and 

dropped into a landscaped area, the 

statement added. 

“He was trying to make sure they 

were safe,” said Revelle of those on 

the ride. She added that no one else 

was injured. 

Park management was reviewing 

safety procedures. No further information 

was released Sunday by the 

park. 

USF football coach Jim Leavitt 

told the St. Petersburg Times 

that he spoke to Bonani by phone 

and later visited him. Leavitt 

said Bonani may have injured his 

vertebra. 

“He’s in pain, but doing fine and 

resting,” Leavitt said.

Contador blitzes past Armstrong for lead 

VERBIER, Switzerland 

(AP) — When Alberto Contador 

launched his bold attack, 

it was reminiscent of Lance 

Armstrong’s golden years. 

The fast pedaling was the 

same, the determination was 

the same — but it was a different 

rider on the saddle: 

his teammate Alberto Contador, 

already one of the sport’s 

greatest at the age of 26. 

The Spaniard crushed all 

other Tour contenders on 

Sunday’s first Alpine stage 

from Pontarlier, France, to 

the Swiss ski resort of Verbier, 

claiming the leader’s yellow 

jersey he wanted more than 

anything else. 

As he already did last week 

in the Pyrenees, the 2007 Tour 

winner showed he has no rival 

in the mountains — and took a 

serious step toward a second 

victory in cycling’s showcase 

event. 

“Lance Armstrong was my 

idol, but dropping him today 

wasn’t important — he was 

just like any other rider ... It’s 

an honor for me to have him 

working for me,” Contador 

said. 

During his seven-year reign 

from 1999 to 2005, Armstrong 

always used hilltop finishes 

to stamp his domination. This 

time the Texan was unable 

to follow the insane pace 

imposed by Contador, whose 

legs are 11 years fresher than 

Armstrong’s. 

“As far as I’m concerned, I’m 

happy to be his domestique,” a 

fatalistic Armstrong said. “I’m 

proud of him.” 

Last week in the Pyrenees, 

Armstrong criticized Contador 

following an attack which 

allowed the Spaniard to leapfrog 

him. The Texan then 

accused his Astana teammate 

of riding against team 

strategy — and even hinted he 

could have followed Contador 

if he had really wanted to. 

It was a different story after 

the final, 5.5-mile ascent to 

Verbier, where Armstrong 

fully understood that he

needing to put it somewhere 

in the middle of the green, 

take two putts and revel in 

being the oldest major champion 

in golf history. 

Julius Boros was 48 when 

he won the 1968 PGA Championship. 

Watson was poised 

to shatter that age barrier by 

more than a decade — and, 

for good measure, join Harry 

Vardon as the winningest 

player in Open history with 

six apiece. 

“It would have been a 

hell of a story, wouldn’t it?” 

Watson said. 

He swung that 8-iron and 

looked up quickly, admiring 

the flight of the ball. Turns 

out he should have gone with 

a 9-iron. 

“I hit the shot I meant to,” 

Watson said. “When it was 

in the air I said, ‘I like it.’ And 

then all of a sudden it goes 

over the green, and I just 

didn’t get the ball down after 

that.” 

With the ball resting up 

against the first cut of rough, 

Watson went with his putter. 

He didn’t want to leave it 

short and wound up whacking 

it 8 feet past. Then, with 

a chance to win, he struck a 

putt that never had a chance 

— wide and nearly 12 inches 

shy of the cup. 

Even as Watson tapped in 

a bogey that forced a playoff 

with Cink, both at 2-under 

278, it already seemed over. 

All the excitement had been 

sucked out of the place. 

Everyone, Watson included, 

appeared to sense that a 

59-year-old golfer gets only 

one chance to win the Open. 

When Watson arrived at 

the fifth tee for the first playoff 

hole, he was overheard 

remarking to an official 

how cold it had gotten. That 

wasn’t a good omen. 

Cink knocked his approach 

shot in a pot bunker, but 

Watson did the same. Cink 

got up-and-down for par, 

Watson barely cleared the lip 

of the bunker, missed a long 

putt and took bogey. 

It would have been better if

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong crosses the finish line during the 15th 

stage of this year’s race Sunday in Verbier, Switzerland.

couldn’t compete. The cancer 

survivor, back on the Tour 

four years after his last victory, 

accepted his chance of 

victory is minimal. 

“Yeah, it will be hard,” Armstrong 

said. “A day like this 

really shows who’s the best, 

and I wasn’t on par with 

what’s required to win the 

Tour. So for me, that’s the reality, 

that’s not devastating news 

or anything.” 

Armstrong moved up to 

second place in the standings 

after the 15th stage, but lost 

precious time to Contador, 

who took control of the race as 

he ended Rinaldo Nocentini’s 

eight-day run in the overall 

lead. Armstrong trails Contador 

by 1 minute, 37 seconds. 

they just stopped it there. 

Still trailing by a shot, 

Watson yanked his tee shot 

into the tall grass left of the 

fairway of the par-5 17th, a 

hole that played easiest on 

the course and one he had 

birdied three of four times 

in regulation. He ended up 

three-putting for a doublebogey 

7. 

Cink needed only two 

shots to reach the green, and 

two-putted for a birdie that 

wrapped things up. 

But this isn’t boxing, where 

the referee can step in, so 

on they went to the 18th. 

Watson hit his tee shot into 

the crowd, which at least 

gave him a chance to perk 

up a gallery that was cold 

“I think being out for four 

years, and being one of the 

older guys out here, there 

might be people out there 

that expect me to ride like I 

did in 2004, 2005 — that’s not 

reality,” Armstrong said. “If 

I do another year, and I get a 

season under my belt, maybe 

we get that race condition 

back.” 

“But right now, I don’t have 

it,” he added. 

Armstrong has previously 

said he may launch his own 

team next season, while Contador 

is likely to quit Astana 

for another squad. 

Contador seems so strong 

that only an accident could 

deprive him of victory. 

“From now on, the most difficult 

thing will be to control 

the race,” Contador said. “A 

lot of riders will try to take 

advantage of every opportunity 

to attack. We will have to 

respond.” 

Armstrong promised to put 

his own goals on the back 

burner for the good of his 

and glum. “Y’all better get 

back,” he said, lining up his 

shot. “The way I’m swinging, 

I may hit someone else.” 

Two more ugly shots followed 

before Watson finally 

chipped onto the green, 

tapped out for bogey and 

turned over the stage to 

Cink. But no one wanted to 

let Watson go. 

“Tommy! Tommy! 

Tommy!” the fans chanted. 

But not even the loudest of 

cheers could ease the pain. 

“Yes, it’s a great disappointment,” 

Watson said, his eyes 

misting over. “It tears at your 

gut, as (losing) has always 

torn at my gut. It’s not easy 

to take.”

in the top 5 — Contador, 

Armstrong and fourth-place 

Andreas Kloeden. 

“Now it’s clear that we have 

the strongest rider in the race. 

This is a team sport, so you 

can’t — none of us, Andreas or 

myself — can think about ourselves,” 

the Texan said. “Overall, 

if we play it really, really

sixth. 

Mets starting pitcher Fernando 

Nieve left the game 

in the second inning with a 

strained right quadriceps. 

The Braves, who won three 

of four in the series, moved 

past Florida into second 

place in the East, 6 1/2 games 

behind the surging Phillies. 

Philadelphia finished a 

three-game sweep of Florida 

with a 5-0 win on Sunday, and 

was won eight in a row. 

The fourth-place Mets fell 

nine games back of the Phillies, 

their largest deficit since 

they were nine games out 

after play on Sept. 29, 2005. 

Escobar hit his ninth homer 

in the second inning and had 

a run-scoring single in the 

fourth to give Atlanta a 2-1 

lead. The shortstop delivered 

a two-run double in the fifth 

as the Braves stretched the 

lead to 7-1. 

Escobar, who leads the 

Braves with 52 RBIs, has 

enjoyed more opportunities 

to drive in runs since moving 

down from his previous No. 2 

spot to sixth in Cox’s lineup. 

“He’s come through the 

entire series with his glove 

and his bat,” Cox said. “He’s 

tough with men on base. 

After we dropped him down 

to the fifth and sixth slot, he’s 

driving in a lot of runs.” 

Braves right-hander Javier 

Vazquez (7-7) gave up six hits 

and one run in seven innings. 

He walked one and struck 

out five, shutting down New 

York’s paltry offense. 

“A great win,” Vazquez 

said. “So far we’re heading 

in the right direction on this 

homestand.” 

The Mets are headed in the 

wrong direction. 

Since June 22, they have 

lost 15 times in 24 games and 

have scored just 74 runs, the 

fewest in the majors. They 

have scored one run or less 

in 10 of those games. 

Manuel had a name ready if 

the Mets are looking for help 

in a trade. 

“If some young pitcher is 

ready, that would be fine — 

unless (Roy) Halladay or 

some guy like that wants 

to come over,” Manuel said, 

drawing laughs. 

Toronto general manager 

J.P. Ricciardi said this month 

he would listen to offers for 

Halladay, the 2003 AL Cy 

Young Award winner who 

improved his record to 11-3 

with a 3-1 win over Boston on 

Sunday. 

In Sunday’s other American 

League games, it was Seattle

the Chicago White Sox 2; the 

New York Yankees 2, Detroit 

1; Tampa Bay 4, Kansas City

Gordon Waller — Half of the British pop duo Peter and Gordon 

who had a string of hits in the 1960s including several written 

by Paul McCartney has died. Waller, 64, died Friday at The William 

W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Conn., nursing supervisor 

Nity Oris confirmed today. The duo’s Web site says Waller went 

into cardiac arrest Thursday night. Waller and Peter Asher, who 

met at the Westminster School in London, topped music charts 

around the world in 1964 with “A World Without Love.” McCartney, 

who was dating Asher’s sister, actress Jane Asher, wrote the 

song. Peter and Gordon had hits with other McCartney-written 

songs, including “Nobody I Know” and “I Don’t Want to See You 

Again.”

Report: Abdul’s return to ‘Idol’ doubtful 

Paula Abdul’s new manager said she may not 

be returning to “American Idol.” 

According to a Los Angeles Times report, David 

Sonenberg said he doesn’t have a proposal 

for a new contract for Abdul. He said it doesn’t 

appear she’ll be back. 

Sonenberg began representing Abdul a few 

weeks ago. 

Auditions for the ninth season of the highly 

rated Fox talent competition begin next month. 

Abdul said recently she’d been invited to remain as an “American 

Idol” judge and was optimistic about negotiating a new 

contract. 

Earlier this year, Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly 

called Abdul “an integral part of the show.” 

The other “American Idol” judges are Simon Cowell, Randy 

Jackson and newcomer Kara DioGuardi. 

Madonna visits victims of stage accident 

Madonna on Sunday visited some of the eight 

workers who were injured in an accident in 

which two more were killed while assembling a 

music stage for the singer in the French port of 

Marseilles. 

Madonna’s concert that was scheduled for 

Sunday night in Marseilles was canceled after 

the accident Thursday at the Velodrome stadium. 

The roof of the stage collapsed while it was 

being built and crashed down on the workers. 

The next stop on her tour is in Barcelona, Spain, Tuesday.

Baseball team celebrates moms-to-be 

A New York City minor league baseball team has pulled off an 

unusual pre-game warmup. 

The Brooklyn Cyclones offered a Lamaze class in center field 

before Sunday night’s game. It was one of the activities as part 

of the “Bellies and Baseball: A Salute to Pregnancy” event. 

Other activities at the theme night for the affiliate of the New 

York Mets included expectant moms running — or walking — 

the bases without shoes before the game, women in their third 

trimesters throwing out ceremonial first pitches and pregnant 

women singing on the field during the seventh-inning stretch. 

There was a craving station consisting of pickles, ice cream 

and pizza. 

The team said any expectant mom who agrees to name her 

child Brooklyn or Cy gets free season tickets for life. 

FRANK MccOuRt, 1930-2009 

‘Angela’s Ashes’ author dies in NYC at 78 

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Few in 

Nevada legal circles believe 

O.J. Simpson has any real 

chance at freedom when the 

state’s Supreme Court justices 

consider letting him trade a 

prison cell in rural northern 

Nevada for a golf course in 

Miami while he appeals his 

conviction in a gunpoint hotel 

room heist. 

What really has them abuzz 

is that Nevada’s only appellate 

court agreed to schedule 

oral arguments Aug. 3 to hear 

Simpson’s plea to be allowed 

to post bond. 

“It’s unusual. This is a situation 

where the Nevada 

Supreme Court might be 

accused of politics or being 

star-struck,” said Michael 

Green, a state history author 

and professor at the College 

of Southern Nevada in Las 

Vegas. “But this is also a case 

where they’d want to make 

sure all the i’s are dotted and 

the t’s are crossed.” 

The Nevada Supreme Court 

received 1,842 appeals in fiscal 

2008, and can take two years 

to decide cases, court spokesman 

Bill Gang said. Excluding 

motions by inmates acting as 

their own lawyers, the court 

hasn’t received more than 

five requests for bail pending 

appeal in any year since 2000, 

Gang said. 

Only one inmate, Paul 

Thomas Picetti, gained release 

in 2007 on a written request 

pending his appeal of a felony 

drunken driving conviction. 

Not once the last eight 

years has the court held oral 

arguments. 

But no Nevada prison inmate 

is as high-profile as the NFL 

Hall-of-Famer, television star 

and celebrity criminal defendant 

acquitted in the 1994 

slaying of his ex-wife, Nicole 

Brown Simpson, and her 

friend, Ron Goldman, in Los 

Angeles. 

It’s been more than 30 years 

The associaTed press 

Frank McCourt is seen during an interview at his apartment 

in New York in 2005. 

NEW YORK (AP) — After a 

childhood of almost impossible 

suffering, Frank McCourt came 

to embody so many improbable 

dreams. 

He was a survivor of poverty 

who became rich, the child of 

immigrants who made good. 

He was the retiree who stepped 

into a magical second life. He 

was the winning ticket for 

every ordinary person who has 

imagined that he or she could 

turn their lives into a book. 

“What the memoir requires 

is a distinctive voice, and Frank 

was a master of his voice,” said 

Mary Karr, a friend of McCourt 

and author of the best-selling 

memoir “The Liar’s Club.” 

McCourt, the beloved former 

school teacher and author of 

“Angela’s Ashes,” died Sunday 

of cancer. He was 78, gravely ill 

with meningitis and recently 

was treated for melanoma, the 

deadliest form of skin cancer 

and the cause of his death, said 

his publisher, Scribner. 

“We had this big dinner party 

in Roxbury (Conn.) last month, 

and he was there,” said author 

Gay Talese, a longtime friend. 

“I made him a vodka martini, 

and he didn’t look at all like he 

was going to disappear from 

the Earth in a month. He was 

very jovial, as usual.” 

Until his mid-60s, McCourt 

was essentially a New York 

character — the kind who 

might turn up in a New York 

novel — teaching by day and 

at night singing songs and telling 

stories with his younger 

brother Malachy, and otherwise 

joining the crowds at the 

White Horse Tavern and other 

literary hangouts. 

But there was always a book 

or two being formed in his mind, 

and the world would learn his 

name, and story, in 1996, after a 

friend helped him get an agent 

and his then-unfinished manuscript 

was quickly signed by 

Scribner. 

“F. Scott Fitzgerald said there 

are no second acts in American 

lives. I think I’ve proven 

him wrong,” McCourt later 

explained. “And all because I 

refused to settle for a one-act 

existence, the 30 years I taught 

English in various New York 

City high schools.” 

The book has been published 

in 25 languages and 30 

since the state 

high court 

granted a highprofile 

defendant 

freedom 

pending 

appeal. That 

man, Lawrence 

Arvey, 

skipped town. 

“That hurt 

countries. 

McCourt, a native of New 

York, was good company in 

the classroom and at the bar, 

but few had such a burden to 

unload. His parents were so 

poor that they returned to their 

native Ireland when he was 

little and settled in the slums 

of Limerick. Simply surviving 

his childhood was a tale; 

McCourt’s father was an alcoholic 

who drank up the little 

money his family had. Three of 

McCourt’s seven siblings died, 

and he nearly perished from 

typhoid fever. 

“I had no idea that he had 

had those experiences,” said 

Talese. 

“You read about Barack 

Obama’s life and you wonder, 

‘How did he get to be president 

of the United States?”’ he 

us all,” said William Terry, a 

veteran Las Vegas defense 

lawyer who helped represent 

Arvey. “The Supreme Court is 

kind of like an elephant, they 

don’t forget.” 

Arvey, a big man and largerthan-life 

casino figure who 

wore jogging suits and big 

wigs to court, went by several 

names and nicknames including 

“Candy Man,” “Mr. Chin” 

and “Big Fat Daddy.” Some of 

the most prominent attorneys 

in town, including current Las 

Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman 

and Harry Claiborne, represented 

him. 

Arvey was sentenced in 

April 1978 to life in prison for 

sex crimes with minors. The 

high court granted his release 

two months later on a $100,000 

bond. “Nobody thought he was 

said. “Frank McCourt’s life is 

in the same kind of tradition, 

where so much is done with a 

life that seems to have so little 

promise.” 

McCourt’s book was a long 

Irish wake, “an epic of woe,” 

McCourt called it, finding 

laughter and lyricism in life’s 

very worst. Although some 

in Ireland complained that 

McCourt had revealed too 

much (and a little too well), 

“Angela’s Ashes” became a 

million seller, won the Pulitzer 

and was made into a movie of 

the same name, starring Emily 

Watson as the title character, 

McCourt’s mother. 

The white-haired, sad-eyed, 

always quotable McCourt 

— his Irish accent still thick 

despite decades in the United 

States — became a regular at 

parties, readings, conferences 

and other gatherings, so much 

the eager late-life celebrity that 

he later compared himself to 

a “dancing clown, available to 

everybody.” Mary Karr once 

kidded him that her idea of a 

rare book was an unsigned 

copy of “Angela’s Ashes.” 

“I wasn’t prepared for it,” 

McCourt said in 2005. “After 

teaching, I was getting all this 

attention. They actually looked 

at me — people I had known for 

years — and they were friendly 

and they looked at me in a different 

way. And I was thinking, 

‘All those years I was a teacher, 

why didn’t you look at me like 

that then?”’

a flight risk because in 1978 

that was such a large amount

Arvey, who would be 69, is 

still listed as a fugitive. 

Terry said that in scheduling 

oral arguments in Simpson’s 

case, the court might be signaling 

that some issues in his 

appeal have merit.

appeal, you have to show 

there is a potential of reversal

Woman shocked to see friend Dumspter-diving 

Dear Abby: I live in a major 

metropolitan area, so I am not 

unfamiliar with the sight of 

people who are down and out 

and living on the streets. 

Recently, while walking to 

work, I came face-to-face with 

an old acquaintance. We had 

dated briefly more than 10 

years ago, but parted amicably. 

Abby, he had a shopping 

cart containing his belongings 

and was going through a trash 

bin and yelling at passers-by! I 

didn’t know what to do. 

I pretended I didn’t see him 

and continued on my way. I 

am barely scraping by, but 

probably could have offered 

him a few dollars. He knows 

where I live and work, and to 

be honest, I was frightened 

by his appearance. Now I feel 

guilty for not offering support. 

What would you have done? 

— Guilt-Ridden in the City 

Dear Guilt-Ridden: If I had 

been caught flat-footed (literally) 

as you were, I probably 

would have reacted the same 

way you did. But after having

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE 

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION 

If tomorrow is your birthday: In the year ahead, it’ll be extremely 

important to show gratitude to those who bolster your 

efforts and endeavors. 

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Get in the swing of things with 

fun-loving friends, and leave your worries at home. Don’t let serious 

or down-in-the-mouth opinions prevail. 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You could be tempted to tread on a 

few toes in order to strengthen your position, but it won’t be 

worth it in the long run; nor will you like yourself. 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Unless you’re careful, you could 

choose to ignore lessons learned the hard way and repeat an 

old mistake, only to suffer the same consequences. 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Hanging out with a stingy type will 

spoil your day, so be more selective with whom you choose to 

pal around. 

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be careful not to rush to judgment 

or make any hasty decisions. Take the necessary time to 

examine things thoroughly. 

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — The efficacy of people in your 

charge will be proportionate to how well you instruct or guide 

them. 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This isn’t likely to be a good day 

to mix business and pleasure, so try to engage in either all seriousness 

or nothing but fun, but not both. 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Social graces are always significant, 

but even more so at this time. Making a bad impression 

won’t be easily erased. 

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s wonderful to compliment 

those who deserve it, but attempting to manipulate another 

will backfire — which you’ll quickly find out if you try and your 

ploy falls flat. 

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Turn over a new leaf, and try to 

live within your means. Regardless of the temptation to buy 

something that catches your fancy, if you truly can’t afford it, 

get a hold of yourself 

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you want others to be supportive, 

you must first set the example you want them to follow. 

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Simple common courtesy needs 

to be present in all your conversations with friends. 

TWEEN 12 & 20 

BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION 

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 with a wonderful family, a great boyfriend 

and a pet poodle. I love school — I’m in many activities and am 

a good student. I should be on top of the world all the time, but 

I’m not. Sometimes I really get the blues for no apparent reason. 

I have wracked my brain to discover why I become depressed, 

but I can’t find a logical reason. Sometimes when I’m blue I cry, 

but I don’t know why. 

I have talked to my best friend about this, and she says there 

are times when she gets depressed over nothing. Do boys experience 

depression, or is this just a girl thing? — Nameless, Holland, 

Mich. 

Nameless: Yes, boys get depressed. Everybody does from 

time to time, sometimes over setbacks and disappointments, 

sometimes for no apparent reason at all. And during the teen 

years, life can be an emotional roller-coaster ride. The highs 

make you giddy and the lows feel like rock bottom. 

When someone has many more lows than highs, and the lows 

linger for weeks or even months, it’s time to seek help from a 

professional counselor. I don’t believe this is the case with you. 

Remember, a teen can be down in the dumps Monday and 

happy as a lark Tuesday. This is completely normal. Psychologists 

who specialize in teen problems agree that even the 

slightest disagreement with a parent, boyfriend/girlfriend or 

teacher can trigger depression. When the blues hit, just know 

they will pass. 

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18, and the guy I had been dating was convicted 

and sentenced to prison for involuntary manslaughter, 

a term not to exceed nine years. I care for this guy very much. 

If he weren’t behind bars, I would have married him if he had 

asked me. 

He has written several times asking me to be faithful to him 

and to write to him at least four times a week. He promised he 

would marry me as soon as he is released and finds work. He 

also said he promises to stop drinking and using drugs forever. 

I feel sorry for this guy and I’d like to be faithful and wait for him 

to be released, but nine years is a long time. 

All my family and friends are encouraging me to send Mario a 

Dear John letter and to go on with my life. I’m not so sure this is 

the best advice. I do think I love him. — Lupe, El Centro, Calif. 

Lupe: I can’t advise you what to do. The decision must come 

from you. If your heart and head are “telling” you to wait for this 

guy, then wait. But if your heart says wait and your head says no, 

it might be wise to follow the advice from your head.

News Service. 

a short while to think about 

it, I would have realized that 

homeless individuals who yell 

at passers-by are usually mentally 

ill people who have gone 

off their meds. What your old 

friend needs far more than a 

handout is to get into a program 

that will help him get 

off the streets and medicated 

back to reality. 

If you know any members of 

his family, contact them and 

tell them you have seen him. 

Many street people have lost 

touch with their loved ones, 

and their families do not know 

how to find them. If that’s not 

possible, check your phone 

book for shelters or other 

programs that reach out to 

and provide help for mentally 

ill homeless people. You 

are lucky you live in a large 

city where resources are 

available. 

Dear Abby: My relative’s 

driver’s license was suspended, 

and she has little hope 

of getting it back. She drives 

on a regular basis, as much if 

not more often than I do, usually 

with her children. 

My problem is she offers 

rides to my children. I refuse 

her offers because I’m not comfortable 

with her driving them 

under these circumstances. 

This has created tension 

because she doesn’t view 

her driving as a problem. I 

have not explained the circumstances 

to my children 

because I don’t think they’d 

understand the legal issues. 

Could you please tell me 

what would happen to my children 

if they were with her and 

she was pulled over? — Under 

Pressure Out East 

Dear Under Pressure: 

According to my local police 

department, if your children 

are in the car when your relative 

is stopped, the police will 

try to contact you by phone. If 

they’re unable to locate you 

or the children’s father, your 

children would then be taken 

to the police department. If 

you are still unreachable, child 

protective services would be 

called. 

It is your responsibility as 

a mother to ensure your children’s 

safety — and in this 

case that means you should 

NEVER allow them in a vehicle 

with a driver whose license 

has been suspended. As to 

their being too young to understand, 

if they don’t understand 

the phrase “because you could 

be badly hurt,” then “because 

I’m your mother and I SAID 

so!” will have to suffice.

Internet research saves 

cancer survivor’s life 

Dear Dr. Gott: As I read your 

column about Merkel cell carcinoma, 

chills went down my 

spine. 

Just a year and a half ago, the 

family encouraged my father 

to go to the doctor because 

of a red bump on his shoulder. 

He said it didn’t hurt at 

all and didn’t want to go. He 

finally went, and the doctor 

recommended that the spot 

be removed and tested. So 

Dad had the removal surgery, 

and, afterward in the recovery 

room, the surgeon informed 

us that he had not seen anything 

like it and was going to 

send it out for further pathology 

testing but thought everything 

was probably fine. 

A week later, Dad was seen 

for a follow-up appointment. 

The doctor said that the results 

had come back and that it was 

some kind of skin cancer, but 

the surgeon thought he got it 

all, so the best option was to 

wait and be re-examined in 

six months. 

Not being totally convinced, I 

started doing online research. 

I admit that this can be dangerous, 

especially since there 

are a lot of less-then-reliable 

Web sites, but I had to do 

something. Everything I read 

was frightening. 

During my research, I 

found that only a few cancer-research 

hospitals mentioned 

Merkel cell carcinoma, 

and even fewer had treatment 

options for it. I found one hospital 

affiliated with a major 

university in a neighboring 

state that had a research program. 

I immediately contacted 

their oncology department 

and spoke with the nurse who 

had written several of the articles 

I had read about this disease. 

She advised me to get 

Dad up there as quickly as I 

could. 

Appointments were made, 

and more skin was removed 

from the cancer site on his 

shoulder as well as some 

lymph nodes. Some of the 

nodes tested positive for 

cancer while others did not. 

Dad had six weeks of radiation 

and was given a clean 

bill of health. He went back 

four more times, where he 

was given full examinations 

and scoured for signs of 

recurrence. 

He continues to return twice 

a year and, so far, everything 

has been good. The doctor 

at the university told us that 

we were lucky we pursued 

the investigation of this very 

rare type of skin cancer. If my 

father had waited six months, 

he would probably be fighting 

for his life right now. 

I am glad you ran this particular 

article and agree with 

the writer that this rare form 

of cancer is not well-known in 

medical circles or in the general 

public, especially in rural 

communities. I tell everyone 

everywhere, doctors 

and farmers alike, about our 

experience. 

Dear Reader: I am printing 

your letter in the hopes that it 

will reach someone who can

truly benefit from it. 

Online research can, indeed, 

be a dangerous thing, but it is 

not always bad. Discretion is 

the key. Using only reliable 

sources such as those of the 

Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, 

the myriad of sites linked 

with the National Institutes of 

Health and other well-known 

national organizations can be 

beneficial. It is important also 

to understand that every case 

is different.
