Pipe moveis to beginnext weekBy Steve [email protected]

Work is expected to begin next week to move a 36-inch concrete water main at Washington and Jackson streets that was thrown into jeopardy during a March 26 land shift.

At a special called meeting Wednes-day afternoon, the Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — which has agreed to pay for the $1.36 million project — clear-ing the way for the city to get a con-tract in place with Hemphill Construc-tion of Vicksburg.

“Starting the first part of next week, we hope to see a contractor on site,” Public Works Director Bubba Rainer told the board following the meeting. “We will issue them a notice to pro-ceed probably on Monday or Tuesday, and from that point they’ll have 30 days to complete the project.”

Oil rig evidenceshows few regsBy The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The first firm evidence of what likely caused the disastrous Gulf of Mexico oil blow-out — a devastating sequence of equipment fail-ures — drives home a central unsettling point about Ameri-ca’s oil industry: key safety fea-tures at thou-sands of U.S. offshore wells are barely regulated.

Wednesday’s hearings by congres-sional and administration panels — in Washington and in Louisiana — laid out a checklist of unseen breakdowns on largely unregulated aspects of well safety that appear to have contrib-uted to the April 20 blowout: a leaky cement job, a loose hydraulic fitting, a dead battery.

The trail of problems highlights the reality that, even as the U.S.

‘Ball in their court,’city officials sayBy Steve [email protected]

With hopes of breaking ground in the coming weeks, the City of Vicks-burg continues to wait on Kansas City Southern and Kanzaa Construction to sift through a proposed contract for the tunnel project at Washing-ton and Clark streets, officials said Wednesday.

“We have done all that we possibly can do to get that project started,” said Mayor Paul Winfield. “The ball is in their court, and hopefully we’ll hear something positive from them soon.”

The bridge has been closed to all traffic since January 2009. As the lone span connecting Insterstate 20 and downtown along the city’s main north-south Washington Street corri-dor, its continued closure has become

ebration. The nurses were greeted by the Warren Central High School Navy JROTC and current nurses passing out carnations and applauding.

Nursing changes more than uniformBy Tish [email protected]

After about 50 years of service, Ola Mae Taylor strolled through an arch of swords to a lobby filled with nurses applauding and cheering for her and nearly 30 others Wednesday during the Retired Nurse Celebration at River Region Medical Center.

“It’s wonderful,” said the 82-year-old Taylor. “I didn’t think I would live this long to see it.”

Hospital staff honored retired nurses from Mercy Hospital, which was founded around 1900 and became ParkView Regional Medical Center in 1990; Vicks-burg Medical Center, which is now River Region Medical Center

West Campus, and River Region, hospital marketing director Diane Gawronski said.

Taylor, a former trainee of Kuhn Memorial State Hospital, joined the profession in the 1960s when nurses were required to wear starched and ironed white uni-forms with matching caps and

shoes while providing more than half an hour of service to each patient at a time. Nowadays, they wear scrubs of varying colors and sneakers.

“We did everything when we were nurses. We emptied the bed pans. We bathed the patients. We fed the patients. We got up and we walked the patients,” said Taylor.

These days hospitals often don’t have enough nurses on staff to provide that level of personal care, she said.

“They really don’t have enough help on the floor to really get close to the patient and sit down and talk with them when you go in the rooms and check on them,”

Five arrested in morning drug roundupBy Tish [email protected]

Five Vicksburg people, all known to city police after years of criminal charges and convictions — includ-ing one for manslaughter — were at police headquarters today following a citywide drug sweep before dawn.

Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stew-art called the arrests “signifi-cant” because “they are selling

drugs in our neighborhoods.”

“Hopefully, this will slow down the drug trade and illegal and

illicit activities in the city of Vicks-burg,” Stewart said.

The roundup that began before the sun was up was led by Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong.

• At 4:48, Cody Hollowell, 25, 205 Springridge Drive, was arrested at his home and charged with forgery of the prescription drug Dilaudid.

• At 5:03 a.m., Maegan Williams, 24, was arrested at her home at 620 Porters Chapel Road and charged with sale of a controlled substance.

• At 5:43 a.m., Jerry Kirkley, 55, 1979

More cameras to focus on river touristsBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

Two more cameras will survey areas around the old U.S. 80 bridge across the Mississippi River to pre-vent tourists from finding their way onto the bridge’s rail tracks.

Vicksburg Bridge Commission members OK’d spending $1,590 to purchase the electronic eyes from Memphis-based Access Technolo-gies Inc., which supplied the 11 cameras installed in 2006 at vari-ous points on the 80-year-old bridge. The cameras have been instrumen-tal in bridge officials’ views of the river near the bridge and aiding reconstruction of barge strikes to the bridge’s piers.

Superintendent Herman Smith said tourists visiting the Missis-sippi Welcome Center occasion-ally traipse onto the railroad tracks below — including one instance in the past month in which a man was taking pictures of an approaching train. Though the property below

the county-owned bridge is public right of way, Smith said the cameras will alert the bridge office if anyone is on the rails, so they can be told to

The Warren County disas-ter recovery center at Eagle Lake will close Friday at 7 p.m., emergency man-agement officials have announced.

Eagle Lake residents with damages from the April 24 tornado who have not regis-tered for disaster assistance can visit the Vicksburg recov-ery center at the Eagle Lake Volunteer Fire Department before the center closes.

After, recovery assistance will be available by calling 800-621-3362 or visiting www.disasterassistance.gov.

Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency and Mis-sissippi Emergency Man-agement Agency officials set up the Eagle Lake assis-tance center following home losses and damages from the tornado.

High Court upholdsruling on VFW land

The Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld a Warren County Chancery Court deci-sion dismissing the claim of a Vicksburg woman that she was owed compensa-tion because of damage to her property caused 10 years ago by her then-neighbor. She also sought damages from the parcel’s subsequent owners.

Jane Pecanty, age unavail-able, 805 Blossom Lane, and her husband entered into an agreement in April 2001 with VFW Post 10734, Inc., on Indiana Avenue, after the VFW excavated a nearby hill in 2000 and caused erosion to the Pecanty property.

The agreement called for the construction of a retain-ing wall on the Pecanty prop-erty, funded by the VFW. The wall was later found

to have been inadequately engineered, but the VFW did not make corrections to it or give Pecanty further compensation.

Pecanty’s husband subse-quently became ill, and the VFW property was acquired by Mississippi Southern Bank, as merged with State Bank and Trust Company of Cleveland, and later by Jimmy and Sheila Tarver.

The Supreme Court’s ruling states that Pecanty “began focusing all of her attention on her husband’s convales-cence,” and after his death in 2006 began working again to get the erosion and wall corrected.

Eventually, she filed a com-plaint in Warren County Chancery Court against the VFW as well as the bank and later added the Tarvers to the action. She sought monetary damages as well as correc-tions to the retaining wall.

Defense attorneys for the bank and for the Tarvers claimed the complaint fell outside the three-year statute of limitations. The Chancery Court agreed, dismissing the complaint, a decision Pecanty appealed.

Ruling Tuesday, the Supreme Court upheld the Chancery Court decision, “finding no liability” on their parts for the damages to Pecanty’s property.

The building is now used as a day care.

Barbershop concertSaturday in Jackson

The Jackson Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society will present its 61st annual Festival of Barbershop Har-mony Saturday in Jackson.

Jackson’s Center Stage Show Chorus, a women’s ensemble, also will perform at the festival.

Barbershop quartet music is commonly described as old-time harmony sung in four-part a cappella.

Performances begin at 7 p.m. at Belhaven University Center for the Arts, 835 River-side Drive.

Admission is $20 for adults and $10 for students. Call 601-383-4264 for more information.

$77,000 donatedto Army kettles

More than $77,000 was donated to The Salvation Army of Vicksburg during the Red Kettle campaign last Christmas, Lt. Herb Frazier said Wednesday.

The money more than dou-bled average holiday time donations in the Vicksburg area, Frazier added during an address before the Vicks-burg Lions Club.

Frazier presented the local chapter’s 2009 Bell Ringer Award to the club for the group’s $2,028.33 contribution to the total.

Red Kettle volunteers ring bells for holiday donations outside local retailers. The Salvation Army is an interna-tional Christian evangelical movement.

Rush to drill deeper carries added risks, challenges

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The explosion of the Deepwa-ter Horizon oil rig illustrates the energy industry’s push to drill in ever deeper waters in search of huge oil deposits, despite the mammoth risks and unique challenges associ-ated with exploration in such a hostile environment.

The lure of the deep is driven by technological advances that make previously inaccessible oil now reachable, and dwin-dling supplies at shallower depths due to years of explo-ration. High energy prices and lucrative government incen-tives have also made it more financially feasible.

“That’s where the oil is,” said Eric Smith, associate director of Tulane University’s Energy Institute. “You can’t find any oil any cheaper anywhere else.”

But the work is highly tech-nical. In mile-deep seas, where BP PLC’s Deepwater Horizon rig was plumbing for oil in an ocean canyon, the work is done in total darkness and near-freezing temperatures. Water pressure is enough to crush a submarine, and the explosive methane gas that likely ignited on the Deep-water Horizon can be much more damaging if not properly controlled.

“The deep water is way too risky,” said Kieran Suck-

ling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diver-sity, a legal advocacy group that opposes such drilling.

Gulf of Mexico oil is a crucial part of the U.S. energy supply. While land-based production has steadily declined, output from the Gulf has doubled over the past two decades, surpass-ing that of any state including Texas and Alaska.

More companies are devel-oping projects in mile-deep seas, and most of the oil pro-duced in the Gulf now comes from sites more than 1,000 feet below the water’s surface.

Dri l l ing appl icat ions approved by the federal gov-ernment last year went to wells at an average depth of 2,114 feet — triple what was seen just a decade ago, accord-ing to an Associated Press analysis of data from the fed-

eral Minerals Management Service.

This expansion of drilling ever deeper was fueled by the 1995 Deep Water Royalty Relief Act, which exempts companies from paying a per-centage of royalties to the government on oil and gas found.

“Prior to that, the Gulf was becoming a dead sea in terms of exploration activities,” said David Dismukes, director of policy analysis at Louisiana State University’s Center for Energy Studies. “The relief act stimulated a lot of activity ... and concerns about environ-mental safety in the Gulf.”

Politically, U.S.-produced oil from the Gulf of Mexico is an easier sell than continued reliance on foreign sources or tapping pristine Alaskan wilderness.

“In terms of oil that’s avail-able to us, it’s either imported from places where it’s bounti-ful,” Smith said, “or we find deep water deposits off the coast of Africa, Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico.”

That is widely expected to continue despite the Deepwa-ter Horizon disaster, which killed 11 workers and has already fouled the Gulf with 4 million gallons of crude.

“This country’s pretty well committed to oil and gas, and nobody’s really happy when the price goes through the roof,” said Philip Johnson, a petroleum engineering pro-fessor at the University of Ala-bama. “My suspicion is that we’re going to proceed with production out of the Gulf of Mexico — and that means we’re going to keep trying to get farther and farther

offshore.”But the conditions down

there have challenged oil com-panies to come up with tech-nological solutions.

Beyond about 1,500 feet, sun-light is unable to penetrate. The temperature at 5,000 feet in the Gulf is about 40 degrees. The water pressure is about 2,300 pounds per square inch, conditions that can damage hydraulic systems or cause leaks.

A remotely operated under-water vehicle designed for 5,000 feet of water is “a whole world of different engineer-ing” than one used at 500 feet, said Louisiana State Univer-sity oceanographer Robert S. Carney. Yet companies must rely on those vehicles to detect or repair leaks and other problems.

PASCAGOULA (AP) — The federal government says a top fisheries science expert will lead a program to test and report risks to fish and shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and cleanup.

The National Oceano-graphic and Atmospheric Administration said Nancy Thompson flew Wednesday to the agency’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center in Pascagoula.

Thompson is director of NOAA’s Northeast Fisher-

ies Science Center.NOAA fisheries official

Eric Schwaab says Thomp-son’s work will allow the Southeast laboratory’s director, Bonnie Ponwith, to focus on other oil spill duties and on regional fisheries management.

NOAA will use the informa-tion to decide where and how to stop fishing and whether seafood is safe to eat.

Irby files claim againsther husband

JACKSON (AP) — A woman serving an 18-year prison sen-tence for a traffic accident that killed two doctors has filed a legal claim against her hus-band, claiming he contributed to the wreck by striking her as she drove.

Karen Irby, 39, pleaded guilty to two counts of cul-pable negli-gence man-slaughter in the Feb. 11, 2009, deaths of Mark Pogue and his fiancee, Lisa Dedousis, in Jackson. She admitted driv-ing drunk when her car, carry-ing her husband, Stuart Irby, slammed into Pogue’s truck.

Irby’s claim claims her hus-band screamed at her and assaulted her while she was driving. She is seeking dam-ages for injuries, medical bills, pain and suffering, and emo-tional distress. The claim was filed in conjunction with a suit filed by the victims’ families against her and her husband.

Hinds County District Attor-ney Robert Shuler Smith dis-missed Irby’s allegations.

Smith pointed out that when Karen Irby pleaded guilty in March, Judge Tomie Green asked her to tell what hap-pened and Karen Irby didn’t say anything about Stuart Irby striking her or helping cause the accident.

4 children die in Louisiana house fireRAGLEY, La. — Four chil-

dren were killed in a house fire in Beauregard Parish.

State Fire Marshal H. “Butch” Browning said Wednesday that a woman and her 3-year-old son, who was sleeping with her, escaped the blaze late Tuesday, but her four other children died from smoke inhalation.

Browning said the woman tried to rescue her chil-dren, who were in the rear of the home. She suffered burns and smoke inhalation, and was in stable condition at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital. Her name and the name of the surviving child were not released.

The victims — all girls — were identified as 11-year-old twins Kamryn and Keiley Lebleu, 8-year-old Kassan-dra LeBleu and 1-year-old Adrinne LeBleau. All four sisters were pronounced dead at area hospitals.

Smoke-free measureheaded to La. House

BATON ROUGE — A mea-sure that would stamp out smoking in Louisiana’s casi-

nos and bars is headed to the House after sailing out of the Senate on Wednesday.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Robert Marionneaux, D-Livo-nia, is aimed at protecting workers in casinos and bars from second-hand smoke, which, he said, kills 53,000 Americans and 1,100 Louisi-anans every year.

The proposed bill passed the Senate in a 23-12 vote but is expected to face strong opposition in the House, which killed a similar ban last year. The House Health and Welfare committee last week rejected a much weaker ban that would have required casinos to have smoke-free gaming areas.

Marionneaux, during Wednesday’s debate, said that workers in casinos and bars “have every right to breathe clean air just as we do in the Senate.”

A ban on smoking in res-taurants, schools and work-places went into effect in January 2007, but the law carved out exemptions for casinos and bars.

JACKSON, Miss. — A transplant patient who received an organ from an unidentified donor with a rare, undetected parasite has been released from a Jack-son hospital.

University of Mississippi Medical Center officials iden-tified the patient only as a 27-year-old Alabama man. He was released two weeks ago. He had remained critical for several weeks after receiving the transplant.

President Barack Obama certainly is not a socialist — let alone a com-munist — as some of his far-out de-tractors claim. But he and his aides certainly are in populist “whack in-dustry” mode.

From BP to banks, health insur-ance companies to special interest lobbyists, Obama & Co. pass up no opportunity to slash and bash — ex-cept when they are asking for indus-try cooperation or appealing for na-tional unity.

The dichotomy between one rhe-torical mood and the other is so pro-nounced that you almost suspect the administration and its leader are bi-polar.

Or that they are juggling the need to govern cooperatively with the need to pander to the president’s sometimes-restive left wing and the populist mood du jour.

In February, for instance, Obama-the-unifier told the Business Round-table — that is, big business CEOs — that “a thriving America is within our reach, but only if we move for-ward as one nation, only if we move past the debates and crippling di-vides between left and right, busi-ness and labor, private enterprise and the public sector.”

This came a few weeks after Obama denounced “reckless” “fat cat bank-ers,” whom he accused of conspir-ing with House Republicans to “kill financial reform and leave American consumers and our economy vulner-able to another meltdown.”

It came amid nonstop vilification of the health insurance industry as Obama sold health care reform — even though that industry initially proposed the basic design of univer-sal coverage, insurance reform and an individual mandate.

At an early stage of that cam-paign, Obama included pharmaceu-tical companies and hospitals in his “special interest” denunciations — until their lobbyists made sweet-heart deals with the administration and, in the case of drug companies, spent $100 million on ads backing his plan.

Even though health care reform has passed and is in the midst of a complicated process of implementa-tion — requiring cooperation from the insurance industry — the admin-istration is still on the attack.

Late last month, when America’s Health Insurance Plans, the indus-try lobby, announced that companies would speed up implementation of the law’s ban on rescission of policies

except in cases of fraud, the White House reacted snarkily.

“Health reform made rescissions il-legal because all Americans should be able to rely on quality care when they need it most,” top Obama health adviser Nancy-Ann DeParle said. “It’s heartening to see that the in-surance companies who employed these terrible practices — and fought reform — are coming around doing the right thing by instituting the ban right away. We’ll be watching closely and holding them to their word.”

Rescission — canceling an insur-ance policy — is a “terrible” practice when it’s used to avoid paying a legit-imate claim, but in most cases, it’s an anti-fraud device and it’s rare. State regulators say it occurs on less than 0.4 percent of policies.

By contrast, Medicare, which pays almost every claim, loses about $60 billion a year to fraud, 10 percent of its total budget.

Health and Human Services Secre-tary Kathleen Sebelius, the Cabinet

officer most responsible for imple-menting reform, has said she expects the process to involve “hand-to-hand combat” with insurance companies.

When insurance companies dis-covered that the health care law as written did not require them to guar-antee insurance to children with pre-existing conditions — only to cover children with existing policies — Sebelius accused them of “seeking to avoid or ignore” the law.

She threatened to change it by reg-ulation. When the industry agreed to guarantee coverage on its own, White House Press Secretary Rob-ert Gibbs sent out a tweet: “Kids 1, Insurance 0.”

Sebelius, a former Kansas governor and insurance commissioner -- and earlier, chief state lobbyist for trial lawyers, the nemesis of insurance companies — also jumped immedi-ately on disputed allegations that the nation’s largest insurer, WellPoint, systematically cancels coverage for breast cancer victims.

The day after a Reuters story made the charge, Sebelius wrote a letter to WellPoint CEO Angela Braly, a cel-ebrated campaigner against breast cancer, urging her to “end the un-conscionable practice of deliberately working to deny health insurance to women diagnosed with breast can-cer.”

Braly wrote Sebelius, “To be abso-lutely clear, WellPoint does not sin-gle out women with breast cancer for rescission. Period.”

The company said it rescinded less than 0.1 percent of all its policies last year, usually because claimants had made significant misstatements of fact in applying for insurance.

As Obama has made clear many times, his animus against the insur-ance industry is “personal,” based on his mother’s struggle with an in-surance company when she was bat-tling cancer.

But blasting business is not con-fined to insurance. Last weekend, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar twice said the administration intended to keep its “boot on the neck” of BP over the Gulf oil spill.

But then what do we make of Obama at the University of Michi-gan last week, saying that “vilifica-tion and over-the-top rhetoric closes the door to the possibility of com-promise”?

My own hunch is that Obama, at heart, is not a socialist but a liber-al without the slightest idea of how private enterprises create wealth — and deeply suspicious of their prac-titioners.

But he knows that unifying rhetoric is what the country wants to hear. So one day it’s one thing. Another day it’s another. If this is right, it won’t stop, and it’s very sad.

wealth — and deeply suspi-cious of their practitioners.

BailoutInternational community may keep Greece afloatGreece might yet avoid finan-

cial ruin, thanks to loans from its more prosperous European Union fellow members. But everything depends on the Medi-terranean nation maintaining the political will to drastically reduce government spending. That’s far from certain. The Greek people seem still unconvinced that radi-cal change is needed.

Mobs led by public employee unions are rioting in the street against moves to cut government spending by reducing salaries, benefits and public jobs. Govern-ment now consumes 50 percent of gross domestic product. Greece has been borrowing heavily to sustain welfare programs and add workers to the government payroll.

The deficit is 13 percent of GDP, and the national debt equal to 125 percent of GDP. Even if Germany, France and the other more stable European Union economies bail out Greece, servicing the result-ing debt will consume a quarter of the national economy.

That’s not sustainable and would leave Greece with too few dollars to spur an economic recovery. Restructuring its debt seems an inevitable option, but

would roil the economies of its EU backers.

This crisis did not develop over-night, nor is it even largely attrib-utable to the global recession. The severe downturn of 2008 cer-tainly hastened Greece’s collapse, but the Greeks have been on this path for years.

Greece funded a massive expan-sion of government with deficit spending, allowed its appetite for government-sponsored social programs to outweigh fiscal dis-cipline and doctored its books to make its finances seem rosier than reality.

If that sounds familiar, it should. America and many of its states, including Michigan, are following in Greece’s footsteps. If the Gre-cian meltdown doesn’t deliver a wake-up call, the United States ultimately could find itself where Greece is today.

The U.S. also is determined to charge a great expansion of the welfare state to the national credit card. It will spend one-third more than it takes in this year, and projects $1 trillion budget shortfalls for the next 10 years at least. And like Greece, it is cooking its books. The Bush administration kept the cost of

the Iraq and Afghanistan wars out of the budget, and the Obama administration is hiding the cost of bailing out mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, an obligation that is consuming $10 billion a quarter. Social Security surpluses have been squandered.

Michigan, fortunately, is bound by its constitution to balance the budget every year. But it has done so with financial gimmickry for most of the past decade, and now faces an irreconcilable defi-cit of more than $2 billion. Other states are similarly distressed.

The violent demonstrations in Athens last week were the end-game of the protests in American state capitals staged by public workers shouting “raise our taxes” to sustain their jobs and wages. Most states have found it as difficult as has the Greek par-liament to say no to these unions.

Greece is offering fair warning to the United States. If Amer-ica doesn’t check its runaway spending, there are predictions its bond rating could be reduced within two years. Greece had similar warnings and chose to ignore them. If America makes the same choice, it can expect the same results.

said Taylor, who also spent 15 years teaching scrub techniques.

While current registered nurse Melissa Breithaupt agreed, she managed to win the patients choice award.

For several weeks, patients and visitors nominated nurses and wrote short sto-ries about care they received at the hospital.

Breithaupt’s patients remarked on her “outstand-ing care and personal atten-tion” as well as “demonstra-tion of patience.”

“I appreciate the people who wrote the comments. We don’t always get the positive,” said Breithaupt. “I know there are probably plenty of other nurses that deserve this award.”

Most of the nursing staff is once again wearing the white uniforms since the arrival of the new Chief Nursing Officer Linda Wymbs, who spearheaded the celebration.

“It was a way for us to give back to nurses that have given so much of them-selves,” said Wymbs, adding some retirees continue to serve through the River Region auxiliary.

“When you’ve spent the majority of your life caring for people, it’s hard to let it go and leave a healing envi-

ronment,” Gawronski said. “So, by volunteering here, they feel like they’re still involved with patients and their care.”

Ceremony keynote speaker Dr. Briggs Hopson, vice president of medical affairs, alluded to the history of nursing, sharing how the necessity began in the home with the tending to children

and evolved to assisting doc-tors in the 1880s following Florence Nightingale’s work during the Crimean War.

“Florence Nightingale felt the urge to help others. She had a keen interest in mathe-matics and statistics, and she blended that with helping people,” said Hopson.

In 1854, she organized 38 nurses to care for soldiers

and decreased their death toll during the Crimean War.

As one of the most widely known figures in the history of nursing, she opened in 1860 the Nightingale Train-ing School for Nurses, the first formal training program for nurses.

Where nurses once remained close to the bed-side, now with advancements

in technology such as diag-nostic imaging and infor-matics, nurses are seeking higher levels of education, allowing them to enter more specialized fields.

Assistant Chief Nursing Officer Wanda McClain said nurses now have a voice in decisions regarding patient care policies and equipment needs.

“That brings the bedside

nurse into what we refer to as shared governess,” she said. “They do a lot of research of current practices in other facilities in other states so that we’re kept abreast of current technolo-gies, new medications, new theories on treatments and protocols” to enhance patient care and satisfaction.

does more deepwater off-shore drilling in a quest for domestic oil, some key safety components are left almost entirely to the discretion of the companies doing the work.

It remains unclear what, if anything, Congress or the Obama administration may do to address these regula-tory deficiencies.

Meanwhile Wednesday, Mississippi Gov. Haley Bar-bour asked for Mississippi-ans to volunteer to help clean up oil on the state’s coast.

No oil has yet reached the state’s shores, the governor said in Biloxi, but he’s calling on people in case.

He said 9,000 people and 315 vessels have been signed up to help. He urged more people to sign up as leaders

make preparations to protect vital ecosystems with boats, booms and volunteers.

He also stressed that tour-ists should not cancel plans to vacation in the state. “Mis-sissippi is open for business,” he said.

On the national front, Inte-rior Secretary Ken Salazar has proposed splitting his department’s Minerals Man-agement Service in two to make safety enforcement independent of the agency’s other main function — col-lecting billions in royalties from the drilling industry.

But the events that unfolded in the hours before the blowout on the Deepwa-ter Horizon rig suggest that much more will ultimately need to be done on the regu-latory front.

There also remains much to be done to stem the stub-born blowout that has spewed more than 4 million gallons of oil into the Gulf. BP today was still weighing two short-term options to siphon oil to a ship at the sur-face. Some 210,000 gallons of oil are spewing each day.

One was a tube that would be inserted into the original, leaking pipe to suck up the oil. The other was a box that would cover the leak.

As the day of the catastro-phe got under way on the drilling platform 48 miles off Louisiana, workers were sta-bilizing the mile-deep explor-atory well to mothball until production.

The well’s owner, global oil company BP PLC, said today its costs for trying to stop the

gusher, containing the spill and helping Gulf states foot the response tab totaled $450 million, up $100 million since its May 10 update to secu-rities regulators. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Sut-tles said Wednesday the bill increases by at least $10 mil-lion a day.

Also Wednesday, a group of Louisiana crab fishermen claimed in a lawsuit that Halliburton — with permis-sion from BP and rig owner Transocean — used a new quick-curing cement mix with nitrogen. It supposedly generates more heat than other recipes and could allow dangerous bursts of methane gas to escape up the well.

Foreclosures down 2 percent from last yearNumber of borrowers losing their homes still on the rise

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mil-lions of Americans are still likely to lose their homes in the coming years, but the fore-closure crisis is finally show-ing signs of subsiding.

The number of households facing foreclosure in April fell 2 percent from a year ago, the first annual decline in five years, RealtyTrac said today.

Foreclosure actions against Mississippi homeowners fell 29 percent from March to April. Last month, there were 369 foreclosure-related notices in Mississippi — down 29 per-cent from March and up 10 percent April 2009. Those notices range from an initial notice of default to outright repossession.

In Mississippi, 172 homes were repossessed last month.

Mississippi ranked 46th among the states in the number of foreclosure-related actions last month.

In Louisiana, foreclosure actions against homeowners jumped sharply in April, with many either losing their res-idence or facing an auction. Last month, there were 1,849 foreclosure-related notices

in Louisiana — up 28 per-cent from March and 64 per-cent from April 2009. Those notices range from an initial notice of default to outright repossession.

But the data aren’t all sunny. While the number of new delinquencies is dropping, the number of borrowers losing their homes is still rising. Banks seized a record 92,000 homes last month.

And there are millions more potential foreclosures ahead. Nearly 7.4 million borrowers, or 12 percent of all households with a mortgage, had missed at least one month of pay-ments or were in foreclosure as of March, said Lender Pro-cessing Services Inc., a mort-gage data research firm.

In Louisiana, 404 homes were repossessed, while 1,127 other homeowners received notice of a foreclosure sale.

Louisiana ranked 36th among

the states in the number of foreclosure-related actions last month.

RealtyTrac, a foreclosure listing firm in Irvine, Calif., reported that nearly 334,000 households, or one in every 387 homes, received a foreclo-sure-related notice in April. That was down more than 9 percent from March.

Economic woes, such as unemployment or reduced income, are the main catalysts for foreclosures this year. Ini-tially, lax lending standards were the culprit, but home-owners with good credit who took out conventional, fixed-rate loans are the fastest grow-ing group of foreclosures.

As the economy turns around, “you will see an improvement in housing mar-kets and in foreclosure activ-ity,” said Rick Sharga, a Real-tyTrac senior vice president. “The problem is that there’s

such a backlog right now.”Lenders are offering a vari-

ety of programs to help home-owners modify their loans, but their success rates vary. Hun-dreds of thousands of hom-eowners can’t qualify or fall back into default.

The Obama administration is managing a $75 billion pro-gram that so far has helped about 231,000 homeowners with permanent reductions to their monthly mortgage bills. That’s about 20 percent of the 1.2 million borrowers who started the program over the past year.

Foreclosed homes are typi-cally sold at steep discounts, lowering the value of sur-rounding properties. Cities lose property tax dollars from homes that sit empty and lower property values.

Among states, Nevada posted the highest foreclosure rate in April, with one in every 69 households receiving a fore-closure notice. Foreclosures there were up 10 percent from March, but unchanged from a year earlier. Next on the list were Arizona, Florida, Cali-fornia and Michigan.

Rand McNally Atlas features Missisippi road tripJACKSON (AP) — Summer

travelers looking for road trip ideas are being pointed toward Mississippi in the latest edi-tion of the Rand McNally Road Atlas.

The 2011 edition of the map,

which launched this week, includes a trip from Natchez to Tunica, called “Following Old Man River,” in its Best of the Roads section.

Each year, five trips are selected by the map and travel

product company.According to Rand McNally,

editors consider locations that are lesser-known, unique, cap-ture the region’s essence and appeal to a broad range of people. The trips average 150

to 200 miles.The other four picks for

this year included drives in Alaska and New Hampshire, one around the Lake Erie area and another from Nevada to California.

treatment plant at the Vicks-burg Harbor north of town — is being re-routed one block around the site of the land shift via Main, Walnut and Jackson streets.

Washington Street has been closed from Jack-son to Main since the land shift, which was discovered by Corps contract workers who had been doing nearby

groundwork on an interpre-tive center and museum at the dry-docked MV Mis-sissippi IV since Novem-ber. While the Corps did not admit causing the land shift — which also left parts of Washington Street cracked and sagging — it agreed to pay for a relocation shortly after the incident.

The city, meanwhile, has been in charge of identifying the new route for the pipe and getting it under contract. An emergency was declared by the mayor and aldermen shortly after the land shift, clearing the way to get pro-posals instead of sealed bids on the work. Rainer said Hemphill Construction came

in with the lowest proposal of several gathered.

Rainer said none of the city’s customers should expe-rience any water outages during the relocation.

“If it goes according to plan, there will be no outages,” he said.

Culkin Road, was arrested at 4407 N. Frontage Road, Lot 23, and charged with sale of Oxicontin, a controlled sub-stance.

• At 5:55 a.m., Joel Wright, 54, convicted in 1994 of man-slaughter, was arrested at his home at 1216 Bonelli St., and charged with the sale of Lorcet, another controlled substance. Wright was re-leased from prison in 2002 after completing a nine-year sentence for a manslaugh-ter conviction in Louisiana, Stewart said.

• At 6:09 a.m., Robert Curtis, 52, 1416 Martin Luther King Drive, was arrested at home and charged with sale of crack cocaine.The morning’s first arrest,

Hollowell, is in a program with the Warren County Drug Court after being con-victed in 2009 of prescrip-

tion forgery, Stewart said. He also was charged last year with contempt of court.

The only woman picked up this morning, Williams, was arrested last year on four counts of contempt of court, Stewart said. She also had been arrested for shoplifting in 2008, domestic violence in 2007 and petit larceny in 2006.

Curtis was charged with shoplifting in 2009; assault in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2009; con-tempt of court in 2006, 2007 and 2008; possession of para-phernalia and sale of cocaine in 1997; and domestic vio-lence in 2005.

Wright was arrested in Vicksburg for contempt of court in 2008, simple assault in 2006 and uttering a forg-ery and domestic violence in 2007, Stewart said.

Kirkley was charged with petit larceny in February and contempt of court last

year, Stewart said.During this morning’s

roundup, Vicksburg assistant police Chief John Dolan said he remembered arresting Wright nearly 30 years ago.

Officials said they expect more arrests in today’s roundup, the second in two months by the department.

On April Fool’s Day, police visited six addresses before

the sun rose, arresting six men on drug charges rang-ing from sale of cocaine, Lorcet and Xanax and pos-session of cocaine and ecstasy to possession of a

weapon by a felon.After that roundup, Arm-

strong, who has been chief since July, said he believes most of Vicksburg’s crimes stem from illegal drugs.

a major headache for motor-ists, residents, business owners and politicians alike. The 80-year-old bridge is to be replaced with a road-topped rail tunnel, of which KCS is to pay $4 million.

The city verbally agreed to a not-to-exceed $8.6 million contract with Kanzaa Con-struction last summer, but did not have all the funding in place to ink the deal. The Topeka, Kan., company gave the city an April deadline to find the funds and get the project moving at the agreed-upon price or have it rebid.

With the deadline loom-ing, the mayor and alder-men voted to rededicate $3.7 in bond funds to the tunnel project that had been borrowed in 2006 and ear-marked for paving projects in the North Ward and the final phase of the develop-ing sports complex on Fisher Ferry Road.

Winfield said KCS and Kanzaa are still discussing details of the proposed con-tract the city submitted. The mayor, who had previously held out hopes for an early April ground-breaking, said he expects to hear some-thing from KCS and Kanzaa Construction in the coming weeks.

“We’re almost there,” he said, noting workers will be on the ground within 10 days of the contract’s signing.

Meanwhile, the $4 million federal earmark the city for-mally requested of local leg-islators in February appears to be making progress.

“It’s made it through com-mittee in both the House and the Senate,” Winfield said, “so that’s a positive sign.”

If approved, the earmark would replenish the bond

funds the board rededicated to the tunnel project. The city originally set aside $5 million of a $16.9 bond in 2006 for the bridge replacement, however, cost estimates nearly doubled by the time bids were taken on the work last spring.

commission said it still is waiting for design plans on two sets of repairs deemed emergencies since March. One involves a cracked floor beam and corroded cover plate above pier 5. A winds-hear device inside the pier has been the lone stabilizer of the pier, as the plate has rusted away, Smith said. The

other work will re-anchor a section of rail track above five short piers on the Loui-siana side, where bolts have rusted or have fallen out.

Toll money from Kansas City Southern Railway totaled $93,992 for March’s rail traffic, which was 23,498 cars. The increase in the rate paid — $4 per car versus

$3.75 for much of the past year — and an increase reported to the commission in April’s traffic, at 24,207 cars, coincided with news of the company’s 26 percent rise in profits for the first quarter compared to last year and a 2 percent gain in volume for the quarter.

WHO’S HOTTYLER VROMAN

Panther Baseball slugger had four home runs to lead his team to first place at the 82 Challenge Mother’s Day Celebration Tournament in Winona last weekend.

SIDELINESSaints refuse furthercomment on lawsuit

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An attorney for the New Orleans Saints said Wednesday that the team will wait until trial to re-spond to a former security director’s allegations that the club tried to cover up prescription Vicodin thefts at team headquarters.

The Saints won’t settle with Geoffrey Santini and won’t be publicly discuss-ing the lawsuit that he filed against the team until it goes to court, lawyer Phil Wittman said.

“We’re in litigation with Mr. Santini and I feel we should proceed with the legal process and not make any media comments at this time,” Wittman said. “The courts don’t like it when you try your case in the papers.”

Wittman’s comments came after Santini said in an interview with Gan-nett Louisiana Newspapers that he regrets not going straight to Saints own-er Tom Benson when he found out about missing prescription drugs at team headquarters. Santini says he instead went to general manager Mickey Loomis, who allegedly tried to cov-er up the theft and improp-er distribution of Vicodin from the team’s prescrip-tion drug locker. Santini wound up resigning in Au-gust because of his dispute with Loomis over how the handle the matter and on April 30 filed suit seeking damages and back pay.

Santini’s lawsuit says one unnamed staff member stole Vicodin while anoth-er was allowed to take an amount that far exceeded an amount appropriate for any known medical condi-tion he had.

Waringsets thetablefor St. AlBy Ernest [email protected]

Right before Pierson

Waring steps the batter’s box, he stretches.

Or, at least, does something that looks like a stretch.

In an elaborate 30-second routine, the St. Aloysius senior shortstop reaches down to touch his toes; does a couple of quick torso twists with his bat behind him; spits into his hands and rubs dirt on them; maybe pats his helmet; and then finally steps into the box, where he takes a couple of quick prac-tice swings.

The whole thing, which looks to be equal parts ritual dance, routine, and martial arts movements, is typically capped off with a line drive to the outfield and a scintillat-ing sprint around the bases.

“I have no clue,” Waring laughed when asked about the routine. “It’s just a habit, and I’m kind of superstitious. I do a bunch of weird stuff when I bat. In the dugout, I clean the toes of my shoes, then I spit on my hands and rub my helmet.”

Waring’s teammates don’t argue with success. They just laugh it off and appreci-ate the results.

“That’s his happy place,” St. Al coach Clint Wilkerson said. “He goes to there and gets his mind right. What-ever makes him hit .450, man.”

Waring’s average this season is a bit lower than the .456 he posted last year — .386, to be exact — but he’s

St. Al-Cathedral rivalry to reach fever pitch todayCathedral and St. Aloysius

are separated by 73 miles, but the gulf between the schools might as well be the distance from here to China.

It’s a rivalry that has burned hotter than the bhut jolokia, rated by the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s hot-test chilli pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce.

This academic year might be the best one of the rivalry. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

During football season, Pierson Waring drilled a 25-yard field goal in a morass of mud and Luke Burnett’s clutch interception in the end zone preserved a 10-7 victory by St. Al at Cathedral.

Today, while attention of the fanbases is focused on

the Class 1A South State title baseball series, which starts at 6 p.m. in Natchez, there will be another venue where purple will collide with green: on the golf course.

The two golf teams will do battle for the Class 1A state championship just a few miles from Chester Willis Field at the Beau Pré Coun-try Club.

St. Al is the three-time

defending state champion and is the 1,000-pound gorilla of Class 1A golf. In last year’s Class 1A state tournament at Bay Pointe in Brandon, the Flashes lapped the field by 99 strokes.

Let that phrase sink in slowly. To call that an over-match is like saying that next year’s Alabama-Georgia State game at Bryant-Denny Stadium is going to be a close-run affair. Not so much.

This year’s St. Al team is deeper than James Earl Jones’ voice. Or the Mari-anas Trench. Or the debt load of Greece.

Nearly every one of the golfers on this year’s squad has won medalist honors in one tournament at least. If one of the group, made up of last year’s state tournament

medalist Chris Ingram, Nick Mekus, Elliott Bexley, Harris McKay or Fisher Campbell, struggle, one or two of the others will pick up the slack.

As for baseball, the Flashes were outscored 23-5 in their two regular-season match-ups with the Green Waves. Ouch.

Cathedral hit St. Al at its lowest point of the season, a 2-6 skid that made Trust-mark Park seem a lot further distant than 35 miles.

But this is a different St. Al team that will take the field in Natchez. Its confidence level, thanks to the return of Justin Rushing and Ryno Martin-Nez, is sky-high after besting Edinburg fireballer Mitchell Wooten in the first round and sweeping Nanih Waiya in the second.

The Flashes aim for a return trip to Trustmark Park and again, the road runs through Cathedral. The Flashes ended the Green Waves’ undefeated run with a 15-6 beatdown in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series and struck the mortal blow with a heartening 7-6 win in eight classic innings in Game 2.

So this time, the rivalry won’t be just for bragging rights on both the diamond and on the links. With a pair of titles at stake, expect the rivalry to log its best chapter.

Flashes ready for rematchBy Ernest [email protected]

In 2009, Cathedral lost two

games. They were the kind that aren’t easily forgotten.

Both losses came in the playoffs to hated rival St. Aloysius. Watching the Flashes celebrate a state championship three weeks later only added to the pain.

This season, the teams were once again on a col-lision course. With most of last year’s starters back for both teams, it seemed inevitable there would be a rematch. And now, after three months of games and a year of waiting, it’s here. St. Al (18-7) and Cathedral (19-5) hook up for round two, with a berth in the Class 1A finals on the line. The best-of-three South State cham-pionship series begins today in Natchez.

“This is why you play and coach. If you’re a fan of base-ball, I don’t see how you can miss these games,” St. Al coach Clint Wilkerson said. “It’s not just a rivalry. It’s for a championship.”

Over the past eight years, Cathedral has owned St. Al — just not when it really counts. Cathedral has won 11 of the last 13 regular-sea-son meetings between the teams, but St. Al swept their two playoff series in 2002 and 2009.

Cathedral swept the regu-lar-season series this year in lopsided fashion, 11-5 and 12-0, and with it the Divi-sion 7-1A title. Those losses started a rough 2-6 stretch for the Flashes, and they were quick to give credit to

the Green Waves for putting them in that funk.

“They gave us quite a whupping,” St. Al pitcher Stephen Evans said with a laugh. “We’re definitely ready and more prepared this time.”

Neither team closely resembles the ones that met on March 30 and April 1, though.

St. Al has two starters back — infielder Justin Rushing and infielder-pitcher Ryno Martin-Nez — who missed the earlier games because of injury. Martin-Nez threw six strong innings in his first game back on the mound, an 8-1 victory that clinched last

week’s second-round sweep of Nanih Waiya.

“I definitely feel since we got everybody back, we’re more confident as a team,” said St. Al pitcher Stephen Evans, who will start Game 1 against Cathedral.

Cathedral is also different,

but for tragic reasons. In an April 21 game against St. Stanislaus, Dylan White col-lided with teammate Daniel Huffines while the two middle infielders were both going after a pop up. White, the team’s top pitcher, frac-tured his skull and spent several days in the hospital. Huffines, the team’s second-best hitter, missed a couple of games with a concussion.

Remarkably, White could play this weekend. Cathe-dral coach Craig Beesley said White will be exam-ined by doctors before Game 1 this afternoon. If he’s cleared, White could see some action.

In White’s absence, the Green Wave has turned to Aaron White and Tyler Mor-rison to pick up the pitching slack. They’re a combined 9-1 this season. Aaron White has a 1.85 ERA and 45 strike-outs in 412⁄3 innings, while Morrison has a 2.14 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 312⁄3 innings.

Dylan White was also hit-ting just .250 before the injury, meaning his absence has done little to slow down a lineup with a collective average of .341. Cathedral has also won all four play-off games without him, so Wilkerson wasn’t buying into the idea of one missing piece turning the series the Flashes’ way.

“I don’t see how it couldn’t (help). But we’ve been play-ing without two of our best and grinding, so I’m not playing too much into that. Cathedral has been rolling,” Wilkerson said.

pREp spORTsMHSAA names Hintonto leadership post

The Mississippi High School Activities Association selected Don Hinton, an Ocean Springs native, to succeed Dr. Ennis Proctor as execu-tive director, effective July 1.

Since 1977, Hinton has served as a teacher, coach, athletic admin-istrator, principal, and private consultant.

“We are pleased to name Don Hinton as the next executive direc-tor,” MHSAA President Lonnie Tillman said. “He is a motivational person with a passion for educa-tion and activities. He clearly rec-ognizes the importance of activi-ties as a dropout prevention tool, and he has demonstrated for many years his commitment to the young people of Mississippi.”

fOOTbaLLShannon says new deal will be big recruiting help

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Randy Shannon routinely would hear the same question on the recruit-ing trail. Players and parents alike, they couldn’t figure out why Miami was winning more games, yet the coach wasn’t getting rewarded with a new contract.

That’s not a problem anymore.Shannon has signed a new four-

year contract to remain as the Hur-ricanes’ head coach, ending a back-and-forth negotiating process that began more than a year ago and included an undisclosed raise over the approximate $1.2 million he made last season.

Shannon has gone 21-17 in his three seasons, winning five games in 2007, then seven in 2008 and nine in 2009. The 2010 season was to be Shannon’s last under his current deal, and there was some thought he could wind up taking a chance.

Cushing keeps AP Defensive Rookie award

NEW YORK — A positive drug test notwithstanding, Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing is still The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Five days after he was suspended without pay for four games, a nationwide panel of 50 sports writ-ers and broadcasters who cover the NFL voted again to give Cushing the award. He didn’t receive any-where near the 39 votes of his pre-vious landslide victory, but the 18 he got in Wednesday’s revote were enough to reclaim the honor.

“I was just glad to hear the news, that people stuck by me. Very hon-ored,” Cushing said. “I’m very happy to have the award once again, and I’m just happy with how everything turned out.”

Although Cushing said he took a non-steroid substance, the league still considers it a performance-enhancer.

WaringContinued from Page B1.still putting up some remark-able numbers. His five home runs lead the Flashes this season, he’s third on the team with 31 RBIs and first with 43 runs scored. The six-year starter also needs five more hits to reach 200 for his high school career.

The power and run pro-duction numbers are espe-cially impressive, consider-ing Waring is St. Al’s leadoff man. The top spot in the order doesn’t usually lend itself to RBI opportunities, but a strong effort from the bottom of the order the past two seasons has put Waring in a unique position to drive in runs. He has 79 RBIs the past two years, and at least 20 in each of the last five seasons.

Waring is also a rare power hitter at the top of the order. He has 28 doubles and nine home runs the last two sea-sons, both tops on the team.

“Most leadoff guys are con-tact guys and get on base. I hit for more power,” said Waring, a Hinds Community College signee. “I go up there to swing. Most guys take pitches. I probably don’t have as many walks as other guys, but I probably hit for more power.”

Waring’s ability to be more than a table-setter has had a profound effect on St. Al’s lineup. Because he’s such a potent force, it compels pitch-ers to adjust their approach. The bottom of the order sees a better pitch selection because pitchers don’t want runners on when Waring comes up. And once Waring gets on base, they have to pitch differently to the hitters behind him.

St. Al’s No. 9 hitter, Brendan

Beesley, has a .391 average this season. The No. 2 hitter, Blake Haygood, has a .432 average.

Waring also does a lot of things you’d expect from an ordinary leadoff hitter. He has 68 career stolen bases, including 12 this season, and has scored 170 runs the past four seasons. Wilkerson said it’s the kind of impact he’s come to expect from his team captain.

“When you get a guy that hits five home runs and 15 doubles, you don’t want to get to him. You’ve got to feed the guys at the bottom of the lineup. You’ve got to get them out. Pierson is a game-changer. He doesn’t have to be in the box to affect the game,” Wilkerson said. “That’s why he’s got a ‘C’ on his jersey and nobody else does.”

Bulldogs snap school-record 11-game skidFrom staff reports

Connor Powers’ RBI-sin-gle in the bottom of the sev-enth inning broke a tie as Mississippi State defeated Northwestern State 8-5 on Wednesday.

The Bulldogs snapped a school-record 11-game losing streak. MSU improved to 21-28, while Northwestern State fell to 29-19.

“We competed well today,” MSU coach John Cohen said. “We took a step today, a little step, but definitely a step we needed to take. ”

The teams carried a one-all pitchers’ duel into the home half of the seventh inning. In that frame, the Bulldogs bats finally caught fire, tallying six runs on four hits and a pair of walks.

The Bulldogs finished with 11 hits. Powers, Russ Sneed, Ryan Collins and Sam Frost

each had multiple hits. Sneed had his second four-RBI game of the season. Meanwhile, the go-ahead run was Powers’ 202nd career RBI — tying him with Travis Chapman for sixth all-time in the M-State record book.

Caleb Reed (1-5) worked 22⁄3 innings in relief to earn the win. Reed worked the Bull-dogs out of a two-on, no-out situation in the sixth inning, but was touched for all four runs in the eighth inning. Trey Johnson earned his first save.

Ole Miss 5, Ark. St. 2Mike Bianco picked up his

500th career win as a head coach as No. 14 Ole Miss defeated Arkansas State.

Rory McKean (4-1) picked up the win for Ole Miss (35-15). He worked five scoreless innings and scattered four hits while

Braves blast Brewer bullpenMILWAUKEE (AP) — The

Atlanta Braves found a famil-iar way to beat up the Milwau-kee Brewers.

Brooks Conrad homered, doubled and drove in four runs while subbing for injured Chipper Jones, and the Braves roughed up Milwaukee’s bull-pen once again for a 9-2 win Wednesday and a three-game sweep.

“You need to have confi-dence and get a little swagger back,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said.

The Braves, a team not known for their potent hit-ting this season, outscored the Brewers 28-7 in the series.

Another late-game outburst by the Braves squandered a solid start by Yovani Gallardo and continued the Brewers’ woes at home. They are 4-11 at Miller Park this season — and after a day off Thursday, the Phillies are coming to town.

“I don’t think anybody can explain why we’ve been having a tough time getting wins at home,” Casey McGe-hee said. “We’ve got to figure out something.”

The bullpen is a prime sus-pect, at least in this series. All three games were close early, only to turn into blowouts.

“It’s been a little bit of an epi-demic here, throughout the series,” Brewers manager Ken Macha said. “It’s not just one or two guys.”

But it hasn’t helped that starters are having trouble going deep into games, wear-ing Brewers relievers down.

Macha said he asked closer Trevor Hoffman on Wednes-day morning if the veteran closer needed to pitch an inning after getting little work of late. Hoffman said yes — not for his own benefit, but because the rest of the bullpen is so worn down.

I t s h o w e d a g a i n Wednesday.

Gallardo left after pitch-ing the top of the sixth, and the Brewers tied the game at 2-all in the bottom half of the inning.

The Braves then jumped all over Brewers relievers, scoring a total of seven runs in the final three innings. It looked a lot like the previous two games, when the Braves turned close games into

blowouts.Jason Heyward hit a hard

shot off first baseman Prince Fielder’s glove for a go-ahead double in the seventh inning.

“But it wasn’t just that we scored, it was that we scored often,” said Matt Diaz, whose pinch-hit double set up Atlan-ta’s two-run seventh inning.

Conrad hit a two-run homer in the eighth and two-run

double off Hoffman in the ninth. Jones, who is trying to shake off a nagging groin injury, appeared as a pinch-hitter in the ninth and hit an RBI double.

“It’s sure nice to bounce back the way we did this series,” Conrad said. “We got the bats alive and some great pitching.”

Derek Lowe (5-3) was untouchable early on, holding the Brewers hitless through

the first four innings before allowing a leadoff single to McGehee in the fifth.

Lowe said he threw more changeups Wednesday than he had all year, and he is aban-doning his past philosophy of pitching mostly away from hitters.

“I needed to try new things and today was the first day,” Lowe said. “It was a lot better.”

LeBron, Cavaliers face elimination

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — As a nation of critics dissected his rare poor playoff game, questioning his effort, digging for deeper clues about his future and wondering if he has what it takes to win an NBA championship, LeBron James worked on his jumper.

As panic spread through the region, swallowing his nearby hometown of Akron and caus-ing further damage to Cleve-land’s badly damaged sports psyche, James exuded calm.

There’s nothing he can do about Game 5. It’s history.

Game 6 in Boston, however, is a chance for redemption and James believes Cavaliers fans should be confident.

Why?“They got me,” he said.But which one? The league’s

two-time MVP? Or the guy who made 1-of-11 shots from the outside, stood around pas-sively on offense as the Celt-ics pulled away to take a 3-2 series lead and then raised eyebrows afterward by not being accountable and saying, “I spoil a lot of people with my play.”

One day after scoring 15 points in the 120-88 loss — the Cavaliers’ worst in playoff his-tory — and being booed by fans who wonder if they’ll ever see him play in person again, James, who can leave Cleve-land as a free agent on July 1, said he and his teammates understand their season, the one that was supposed to end with a downtown parade, is on the brink.

“It’s win or go home at this point,” he said. “All these guys understand what’s at stake and we look forward to it.”

Backed up against a wall, both literally and figuratively, James spent nearly 12 minutes after practice on Wednesday answering questions from a media throng about the health of his injured elbow.

Facebook fans want White on OscarsFacebook fans brought Betty White to “Satur-

day Night Live,” and now they’ve got their eyes on the Oscars.

A page on the social networking website, called Official Page for Getting Betty White to Host the Academy Awards, has collected more than 56,000 fans.

One commenter wrote that “Betty White would be one of the best hosts ever!!!!!”

But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says it isn’t ready to let Facebook make casting deci-sions for film’s biggest night.

Spokeswoman Leslie Unger says the academy plans to contin-ue with its protocol of allowing the producers to select the host that will best serve the show they’re trying to put together.

Penn pleads no contest to vandalismSean Penn pleaded no contest to vandalism on Wednesday,

effectively ending a case in which the Oscar-winning actor was videotaped kicking a celebrity photographer.

Penn was not present in court and entered the plea through his attorney. He was sentenced to three years of informal probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service, said city attor-ney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan.

Mateljan says those hours can be complet-ed through Penn’s earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti.

He was also ordered to undergo 36 hours of anger management counseling and stay 100

yards away from the photographer.Penn was charged in February with misde-

meanor battery and vandalism for the October dustup and faced up to 18 months in jail if convicted.

“Prolonging this matter in the court system would not have been in Mr. Penn’s best interests and would have distracted from his charitable commitments, specifically his work in Haiti,” Penn’s attorney Richard Hirsch said. “Accordingly he has decided to accept the terms and move on.”

If he completes the terms of his sentence, Penn will be al-lowed to reduce the charge to disturbing the peace.

Mateljan said a restitution hearing for the photographer will be July 8. The photographer, Jordan Dawes, has sued Penn in civil court. That case remains active.

’Blair Witch’ town eyes auction of signsA Maryland town that has long disdained its ties to the “Blair

Witch Project” is now considering selling some coveted artifacts from the 1999 horror film.

They are four road signs reading, “Welcome to the historic vil-lage of Burkittsville.” They resemble those seen in the movie by characters researching the fictitious legend of the Blair Witch.

Voters in the community of 180 will decide June 7 whether to sell the signs in an Internet auction or save any of them for pos-terity.

Burkittsville had the heavy metal signs made after souvenir hunters stole the original wooden ones. That didn’t stop the thievery so the town recently replaced them with versions that don’t resemble those seen in the movie.

Newhart celebrates 50 years in show bizLOS ANGELES (AP) —

“Fifty years!” Bob Newhart marveled. “It’s like where the hell did the time go?”

The comedian was rumi-nating recently as he relaxed between concert dates on a 14-city tour celebrating his golden anniversary in show business.

“I’ll tell you how the world has changed,” he said in the living room of his secluded Bel-Air home. “We were all called the sick comics. Time magazine did an article on all of us: Lenny Bruce, myself, Shelley Berman and Mike Nichols and Elaine May. Lenny was knocking over all kinds of sacred topics, and we all were called ‘sick.’ I was making people sick because I made fun of a president — Abe Lincoln. Compared to today, it’s hard to believe.”

Newhart’s very first gig was at a night club in Houston. His act went north — but downhill — from there.

“I was in Windsor, Canada, and I died every night,” Newhart recalled. “Not a snicker, not a laugh. I almost went back to accounting (his previous endeavor). I told myself, ‘That’s it.’ Then I played Winnipeg, and it was fine. But there isn’t a standup comedian who hasn’t had just one but a bunch of bad performances.”

Two weeks after his debut in Houston, he recorded “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart.” “It then went crazy and went beyond any-one’s expectations, especially mine.”

At 81, Bob Newhart has reached the age when many performers call it quits.

“I’ve had time off and it drove me nuts,” he claimed. “I was crawling up the wall.

“I know some people who say, ‘I wanna quit making people laugh. I’m tired of making people laugh.’ That doesn’t make sense to me. Why would I want to stop doing it? When you do a show and it works and you come off stage and they’ve had a good time and

you’ve had a good time. Why stop doing that?”

He explained his modus ope-randi: “I have an idea and I’ll try it in Seattle and maybe refine it a little more in Cal-gary and refine it a little more in Vancouver. The art of it is doing it 10 milllion times and

see what happens. That’s a kick. The art of doing it 10 mil-lion times but make it seem like the first time. That’s the art of it.

“About 6 p.m., I start pacing up and down getting ready for the show. You never take it for granted but when you do it will slap you in the face and make you wake up.”

He was asked if he ever lost his place during a performance.

“Oh yeah,” he responded. “In Las Vegas one time I was doing two shows a night, seven days a week. You start telling a joke, and it wasn’t getting the reaction that I thought it usually did. I’d do it again and they’re all staring at me and saying ‘Why is he telling this joke again?”’

Newhart seems little changed, though his hair line has retreated. “I got up to 175 pounds, and I was miserable; I’ve never been that heavy in my life.,” he said. “I forced myself to get on the stationary bike and I got it down to 165. I’d like to get it down to 160.”

“I don’t have any health prob-lems,” he commented, “but flying is a pain in the ass: lost luggage, canceled flights. But once you are there, it’s easy.”

Newhart is forever working new material into his routine.

“I’ll try out this idea I have about being Catholic and the guilt that comes along with it,” he said. “I“ll try it out and maybe parts of it will work and parts of it won’t.

“It’s like a car, I guess. You take out the engine, you put a new one in. That’s the fun part. You’ll change a word and it doesn’t work. What was it that worked yesterday and it didn’t work today?”

A hit with Oprah, singer tries to win over teensNEW YORK (AP) — Charice

has already won over the mom market.

The teen wunderkind from the Philippines has been wowing audiences with her big voice and Celine Dion covers on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and other shows for the last two years. This week, she appeared on Winfrey’s show for the fourth time.

But as she releases her self-titled debut album this week, Charice finds herself with a serious challenge as she tries to translate her success with an adult audience to her peers.

“I’ve been singing big songs, and this is actually the first time they are going to hear me sing Justin Bieber-type of songs, Miley Cyrus-type of songs,” the 18-year-old said recently in her heavily accented English. “I’m just excited for all the teenag-ers to hear my album.”

Had Charice come along around the era of Dion or Whit-ney Houston, two of her idols, it would have been easier to make that move. Back then, big-ballad singers with tow-ering voices dominated pop radio.

These days, it’s the grooves behind the big voice that matter.

David Foster, the Grammy-winning mentor behind Cha-rice, probably knows that better than anyone. A legend-ary producer who has made hits for Houston, Dion, Barbra Streisand, Toni Braxton and dozens of other top names, Foster understands his sound isn’t what makes hits on pop radio anymore (though he still

makes hits — he’s the pro-ducer behind multiplati-num stars Josh Groban and Michael Buble).

“I knew if I produced the album,

it would be adult-oriented. It would skew older. It would be maybe a quick, easy sale, but ultimately, it’s very, very hard to skew younger after you start older, so we made a conscious decision to skew young first,” he said. “I don’t want to say that we crumbled under the pressure of having to go youth-ful, but I think we hit it square on.”

Though Foster and his sister Jaymes are the album’s execu-tive producers, they left most of the music-making to younger writers and producers like Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, whose hits include Beyonce’s

“Halo” and Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love.”

The album’s first single is “Pyramid,” featuring singer Iyaz.

“I just thought like, teenag-ers are falling in love ... they love this very catchy and very romantic words from all these young artists,” Charice said. “That’s why I thought that this album ... they are gonna love it, all the lyrics, all the melody and all the music.”

So far, “Pyramid” is No. 2 on the dance charts, but it hasn’t yet translated to pop radio. Foster is aware of the challenge it takes to make a hit, but he thinks Charice has a lot to add to the scene. There’s no deny-ing Charice has that. During a recent interview, the diminu-

tive singer belted out “Pyra-mid” on request, performed a stirring rendition of Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” for an audience of four, then contin-ued to sing — even on her way out the door.

Singing has consumed Cha-rice — born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco — since she was a child growing up in the Philippines. Raised with her brother by a single mother, she sang in local contests and appeared on TV talent shows in the Philippines and in South Korea.

Fans posted clips of her on YouTube, and she became a sensation. Soon, she was invited to sing on “Ellen,” then on “Oprah Winfrey,” and linked up with Foster.

Man’s shame prompts thoughts of suicideDear Abby: I have been mar-

ried 19 years to a beautiful, accomplished woman. We have two wonderful children. I fooled around throughout my marriage because I could. I justified it by telling myself the women knew what they were doing, and I never made any false promises about leav-ing my wife. She suspected a couple of times, but always gave me the benefit of the doubt.

My last affair ended publicly with every gory detail exposed. My family, work, reputation — everything that mattered to me — have been destroyed. I can’t talk about any of it to a therapist because I am so ashamed. Friends, family and co-workers now shun me. I have hit rock bottom.

If you have a hopeful solu-tion, please share it. Other-wise, please print this as a warning to other men like me that when they hit bottom — as will surely happen — there’s nowhere to turn. I want to end my life. — Shattered in Louisiana

Dear Shattered: I under-

stand this experience has been painful for all concerned, but stop focusing only about yourself and your pain. Sui-cide may seem like a solution to your problems, but your children need you alive and functional — and their needs must take precedence.

Find a therapist — someone you can relate to, and feel safe enough with to discuss every-thing that has happened from the beginning.

There is life after divorce. And, as many celebrities can attest, there is also life after public embarrassment and career setbacks. So straighten your backbone and keep marching forward. While it may not seem like it right now, there are better days ahead.

Dear Abby: My mother and

I rarely get along — mainly because she thinks she’s fabu-lous and I don’t. I’m in my 30s, married with a child and have a career. I am tired of riding an emotional roller coaster with Mother.

She is planning her next visit and I don’t want her to come. Her visits end up lasting a week or more, and her conver-sation consists of complaining, making snide comments about my house and how I am rais-ing my child (under the guise of being “helpful”), and then whining because I don’t have the time or desire to entertain or placate her.

Can you tell me how to tell her that visits to my house are no longer welcomed? — Done with the Drama

Dear Done: When your mother raises the subject of her visit, tell her that she would be more comfortable staying at a hotel when she comes and so would you. That way you can control the amount of time you spend together. Offer to split the cost with her, then pray she agrees.

Dear Abby: Here’s a new one for you. A group of friends and I are frequent customers on some of the home shop-ping channels. When we buy jewelry it arrives in a gift case or box. We hate to throw them away. Any ideas on how we can donate or recycle those gift boxes? — Diana in Lake-wood, Calif.

Dear Diana: Depending upon how you store your jew-elry, you could keep the items in their presentation boxes in a drawer with the tops open, so the drawer becomes a large jewelry box and they don’t become scratched. Or, save the boxes and reuse them when giving small gifts at Christmas or on birthdays. If you know of any people or groups who make jewelry or other crafts, offer the boxes to them. Otherwise, (sob!) it’s off to the landfill.

High potassium levelspuzzling to reader

Dear Dr. Gott: Please explain to me what causes high potas-sium levels. I have been diag-nosed with high potassium, but don’t know exactly how high it is or the cause. When I watched my diet, the levels came down.

Dear Reader: The technical name for high potassium is hyperkalemia. Normal read-ings are between 3.6 and 4.8 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) determined by simple lab testing.

The most common causes are related to the kidneys and include either acute kidney failure or chronic kidney fail-ure. Less common causes are type I diabetes, the excessive use of alcohol, Addison’s dis-ease, ACE inhibitors, red-blood-cell destruction, NSAIDs and an excessive use of supple-ments containing potassium. Let’s hit on these briefly.

Kidney failure is the inabil-ity of the kidneys to func-tion properly. Acute failure is marked by low amounts of urine with a rapid buildup of nitrogen waste in the blood. Causes include acute infection, a blocked urinary tract, injury, burns and other causes.

Chronic failure can be the result of many diseases.

Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes is caused either by failure of the pancreas to release adequate insulin into the body or by a defect in the portions of the cells that accept the insulin.

Excessive alcohol con-sumption or drug use can cause a breakdown of muscle fibers, resulting in the release of potassium into the bloodstream.

Addison’s disease is caused by partial or complete failure of the adrenal gland, which is responsible for many bodily functions. Causes include infection, bleeding into the gland and tumor.

Ace inhibitors are drugs pre-scribed for several purposes, one of which is to lower blood pressure readings. Unfortu-nately, some individuals with renal-artery narrowing can experience a worsening of kidney function.

Red-blood-cell destruc-tion can occur because of a number of conditions and dis-eases. This autoimmune dis-order can either be inherited or acquired.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflam-matory drugs are available over-the-counter for control of headaches, mild to moder-ate pain from exercise such as gardening or sports injuries, fever, menstrual cramps and more. Examples include aspi-rin, ibuprofen and naproxen. If you are consuming NSAIDs, speak with your physician regarding other options.

Potassium deficiency is rare with a balanced diet, but excesses are certainly a possi-

bility if supplements are taken. Average intake for individuals 10 and over is 2,000 mg. or 51 Meq per day.

If you don’t consume addi-tional potassium, speak with your physician to rule out other possible causes.

Just wait until completion before claiming any bragging rights.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Using a bit of smarts and lots of di-plomacy can serve you better than being bossy and demand-ing. The secret to getting others to help you without generating any resentment is to make them feel important.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t discard any strong feelings or hunches you get today, especially regarding your work. Your in-tuitive perceptions could be the best tool you’ll find for accom-plishing a difficult job.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — One of your greatest assets is your ability to recognize the talents of others. When organizing an event, assign people to the jobs they do best, and each will walk away feeling successful.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although it might take you a bit longer than others to do a certain job today, the big differ-ence will be in the fact that what you do is likely to be done to perfection. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — What you say isn’t likely to be ignored today, and others will know you mean business. Even when your demands are couched in friendly phrases, the point gets across.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If large returns are necessary for you to be successful today, you might have to work a bit harder than usual. However, once you prime the pump, personal gains should freely flow. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Members of the opposite gender usually find you an extremely charismatic person at first. Today, however, your allure could be far stronger than usual.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Although it might seem like a lit-tle thing for another to do, it could be quite meaningful to you, the recipient. Being appreciated for a past good deed will mean a lot.

Dr. Wallace: Is it better to smoke cigarettes or marijuana? My parents smoke cigarettes, and I am a pothead because I enjoy getting high. — Nameless, Anaheim, Calif.

Nameless: “Better” is a word that shouldn’t be used when comparing tobacco and marijuana. Both are harmful to the body. It’s just that tobacco is a legal drug, while marijuana is il-legal. Getting high means control of your body is compromised, which can lead to major problems, especially if driving a vehicle.

You can’t control what your parents do, but you are 100 per-cent responsible for your actions. Be smart. Get high on life or love or happiness or helping others. Stop smoking marijuana. Give the money you waste smoking pot to a needy family or a worthy charity. That’s when you will achieve a true high.

Dr. Wallace: I am a junior in high school and plan to attend a nursing school at a local community college after I gradu-ate. However, getting into the school is very difficult, as many people apply and only a few are accepted. A friend told me that male applicants with a decent grade on the entrance exam are almost guaranteed acceptance because they are in the minor-ity. Is there any truth to this? — Jacob, Phoenix.

Jacob: The nursing profession welcomes males who want to be nurses. I contacted a community college in Iowa that offers nursing classes and was informed that they welcome male ap-plicants, but there is no quota on male or female students. I sug-gest that you visit the community college you plan to attend and inquire about the admission requirements for their nursing program.
