PORT GIBSON — The windows in the old Catho-lic church here cast a cobalt blue light on the pews and hand-carved altar, but it’s green that’s on the minds of parishioners of St. Josephs.

The church, built in 1849, needs a restoration expected to cost $170,000.

The congregation has tried for more than a decade to remedy structural problems by making piecemeal repairs, but a permanent fix is going to require more than small change.

“We’ve been fighting it for years and years and years,” said Shirley McFatter Daigle, a longtime church member involved in the current fund-raising campaign. “We’ve been trying to patch it up... but none of it worked for very long, and then we’d be back to another leak again. We asked the diocese for help, and they said no, we needed to do a total restora-tion or we’d just constantly be facing this.”

St. Joseph’s bell tower leaks and paint on interior walls is

peeling and plaster is crack-ing above the church’s famed

blue windows.A Port Gibson restoration

specialist who has made vari-ous repairs to the building said some of the problems are related to the building’s age, but others are the unin-tended consequences of mod-ernization, such as installing air conditioning many years ago.

“It’s all been well-inten-tioned,” said Ken McLe-more, “but they never hired an architect, who would have put a plan in place. I know it would have been expensive, and that’s why they weren’t

able to do that. But often solving one problem leads to another.”

Church members first raised about $28,000 through offerings, a yard sale and donations, Daigle said. A number of Louisiana hunters keep deer camps nearby and attend Mass during the fall and winter, and they’ve been generous, she said.

Union regiments in and around Washington are readying winter quarters. Absent major fighting, there are only sporadic skirmishes, firing and occasion potshots taken between pickets near the federal capital. Although there are no ma-jor battles during this time, nerves are on edge from skirmishes. “About twenty heavy guns were heard ...

Thursday night in the direction of the Great Falls” but the cause was un-known, one AP correspondent writes this week. Stormy weather signals the approaching winter at Fortress Monroe, the Union-held stone bas-tion on the Virginia coast. Reports note a “severe gale now prevailing” has blocked a U.S. Treasury cutter from departing to enforce a federal

blockade on Southern seaports from Hampton Roads, Va., to Hatteras, N.C., an area used by contraband smugglers to run goods to the Con-federacy. At Fortress Monroe, a feder-al tug exchanges shots with Confed-erates manning a battery beside the James River leading to Richmond. The Union is bolstering its defenses at Fort Monroe.

Society contributed $10,000, and said if the church could raise about $33,000 more, the Society would triple it — meaning an additional $99,000 — to bring in the full $170,000.

So far, the parish has about $18,300, Daigle said.

For the work, the dio-cese referred parishioners to The Durable Restora-tion Company, an award-winning national firm with main offices in Columbus, Ohio. The company’s cred-its include many church, museum and institutional buildings including the Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle in Jackson and St. James Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge.

McLemore said his stop-gap repairs have included restoring doors after they were improperly painted and installing a rubber roof mem-brane inside the bell tower.

The tower’s needs, how-ever, include complete exter-nal scraping and prep work, priming, caulking and paint-ing. Repairs to the base of the steeple, 117 feet above the sidewalk, also are needed, McLemore said. The roof — replaced about 20 years ago at the cost of the building’s original parapet walls — needs gutters and diverters to channel water away from the building’s masonry and

mortar, which wick moisture up into the walls, damaging interior surfaces, he said.

The oldest church building in the city, St. Joseph Catho-lic Church is popular with tourists, and the head of the Chamber of Commerce has a key — “so if there is a bus tour, she can let people in,” Daigle said.

The carved Stations of the Cross and cross-topped blue windows aren’t original to the building but contribute to its appeal.

“That is what impressed me the first time I came here,” said the Rev. Faustin Misakao, of the order of the Norbertines, who has been pastor of St. Josephs since 2007. “You see things differ-ently. You feel a change.”

Misakao, 61, a native of Congo, said he has been a priest for 31 years in Africa, France and the United States and loves being in the small Port Gibson congrega-tion, which is as close as “a family.”

The parish, originally known as Bowie’s Parish, was recognized by the Dio-cese of Natchez in 1849. The prime mover in getting the church built was Elvie Bowie Moore, the daughter of Resin and Margaret Bowie and niece of Jim Bowie, who developed the large knife named for him.

Elvie Moore wanted a church where landown-ers as well as the slaves on the Moore’s plantations, Fairview and Woodlawn, could worship, and began raising money.

Church lore has it that Elvie’s husband finally told her he would build her a church if she’d just stop asking their friends for money, Daigle said.

St. Josephs is an example of 19th Century Gothic Revival style.

Daniel Foley, the 16-year-old son of the architect, Michael Foley of St. Louis, carved from solid walnut the Communion rail and its seven panels. The youth also is known in Port Gibson for carving the original hand atop the Presbyterian Church.

St. Joseph’s parish has until Aug. 15 to qualify for match-ing funds. All of the $33,000 must be raised; none can be taken out of the parish’s sav-ings, the diocese said.

“We are trying to get it all raised before the winter rains set in,” said Daigle. “The longer we have to wait, it’s just going to get worse.”

Those leaving St. Joseph walk below a painted Scripture.

The Rev. Faustin Misakao says Mass Wednesday in the par-ish hall.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hope-ful Mitt Romney on Saturday denounced “poisonous lan-guage” against faiths as he grappled with a flare-up over religion sparked by a promi-nent supporter of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, his rival. Perry steered well clear of that sim-mering issue.

Romney, in remarks to the Values Voters Summit, a gath-ering of cultural conservatives in Washington, did not directly confront the words of a prom-inent Perry supporter who called Romney’s Mormon faith a “cult.” Indeed, Romney was criticizing another speaker at the meeting who is known for anti-Mormon and anti-Mus-lim rhetoric, and who followed him on stage.

But his words served as notice that attacks on faiths should, in his view, be off the table. He appealed for support of the presidential candidate who has the best record on the economy.

Until now, Romney’s Mormon faith and Perry’s evangelical Christianity were secondary to a GOP primary focused on who can best fix the country’s economy. Questions about his faith plagued Romney’s 2008 presidential run, but he had been able to keep them at bay so far this time.

That changed when a pastor who introduced Perry to cul-tural conservatives called Mormonism a “cult” and said Romney is “not a Christian,” forcing Perry to distance him-self and Romney to respond.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is the top presidential pick of the thousands of social con-servatives who are meet-ing this weekend, winning 37 percent in a non-binding straw poll.

Georgia businessman Herman Cain came in second at the Values Voters Summit in Washington with 23 percent and former Sen. Rick Santorum placed third with 16 percent in Satur-day’s straw poll among the Republicans’ White House

contenders.Rep. Michele Bachmann

of Minnesota and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas tied with 8 percent.

Paul, making his second run at the GOP nomination, regularly fares well in such straw polls because his fer-vent supporters flock to the events to give him wins. Yet Paul trails other better known candidates such as Perry and former Massa-chusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in traditional polls.

SPENCER CITY, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry stepped more deeply into the tricky issue of Social Security on Saturday, saying he is open to raising the age for receiving benefits and limiting them for upper-income people.

The Texas governor told an Iowa audience that “it makes sense” to increase the eligi-bility age because Americans are living longer. The age for full benefits is now 65 to 67, depending on a person’s date of birth.

He also said it may be time to limit payments for higher-income people, a process known as means-testing. “I’ don’t have a problem with that concept,” Perry said in Sioux City, Iowa.

And he raised the possibility of creating “private accounts” for Americans who want to opt out of the Social Security program, a notion that Demo-crats typically have strongly opposed. All Social Secu-rity tax collections now go toward benefits for current retirees or other government programs. Private accounts would require tax payments to somehow be invested, pre-sumably along lines chosen by

the payer.The governor offered no

details, but said any changes to the program would not apply to people now on Social Security or within a few years of eligibility.

Perry previously has said a higher eligibility age and means-testing should be con-sidered. But he seemed more supportive of these ideas Sat-urday when responding to questions in Sioux City and Spencer.

Perry pointed to projections that Social Security cannot fully pay benefits in future years unless its funding is increased. He has likened the system to a “Ponzi scheme,” saying younger Americans should be made aware that their payroll tax payments are not set aside but are distrib-uted to current retirees.

In his book, “Fed Up,” Perry suggested Social Security was unconstitutional.

Democrats and many Repub-licans have criticized Per-ry’s remarks on Social Secu-rity. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, another top competitor for the GOP nomination, has said Perry’s comments may render him unelectable.

OUR OPINION

STARKVILLE — What an incredibly con-venient story. New York Times reporter Camp-bell Robinson dropped into Mississippi to write about the current political anemia of the Dem-ocratic Party in the South with the 2011 gover-nor’s race in this state as the backdrop.

After what I’m sure was an exhaustive exami-nation, Robinson concluded, as the headline on his story trumpeted: “For politics in the South, race divide is defining.” The gist of the story, like so many before it, is that the Republican “Southern Strategy” worked and that whites in the South won’t vote for Democrats because of race.

In what I’m certain was a matter of sheer coincidence, the Times reporter went to my hometown of Philadelphia to follow Democratic nominee Johnny DuPree’s campaign. On the day in question, DuPree was speaking to the local Rotary Club.

That coincidence laid the groundwork for the reporter to mention that the Ku Klux Klan murdered civil rights workers Andrew Good-man, Michael Schwerner and James Chaney in Neshoba County in 1964 and that Republican Ronald Reagan kicked off his successful 1980 campaign for president at the Neshoba County

Fair.Citation of those events is

an opportunity to illustrate what the Times through various writers has argued since 1980 — that Reagan’s speech at Neshoba repre-sented some type of philo-sophical handoff of the baton of racism from the old racist Democrats of the 1960s to the new racist Republicans in 1980 and beyond.

That argument fails on any number of levels. First and foremost is the size and scope of the Democratic Party’s political turf in Mississippi against a GOP that couldn’t elect a governor in Mississippi until 1991. Democrats control the Mississippi House, are within striking distance in the state Senate, and control the majority of municipal and county governments statewide. To his credit, the visiting reporter admitted that a 92 percent white majority in Alcorn County elected Eric Powell as their state senator in 2007, but found a source who said that wouldn’t survive the GOP’s political onslaught.

By contrast, Republicans dominate the state’s congressional delegation and statewide offices. No arguments there, but that fact begs the question of why and once again the Times lays the blame or credit — depending on one’s political allegiance — for that fact at the feet of racism.

So let me understand this: Mississippians will elect Democrats in local and county politics and in state legislative politics, but not at the highest levels. Racism in Mississippi appar-ently gets stronger when we get to the political level of agriculture commissioner than it does for mayor or sheriff or even state senator.

A more rational assessment might be that in local, county, even state legislative politics, social issues aren’t part of the political debate. In Mississippi, for good or ill, there remains a rather wide chasm between Democratic Party philosophies on issues like gun rights, abor-tion, and the priorities for which the nation taxes and spends. In local politics, it’s charac-ter and competence. Party matters less.

In choosing Philadelphia, Mississippi, as the backdrop for the story alleging that race is the great divide between Democrats and Republicans and whites and blacks, the Times reporter ignored one inconvenient truth — the fact that Philadelphia has an African-American Democrat mayor elected by a white majority that votes Republican in presidential elections.

So the white majority in Neshoba County was racist on rejecting a black Democrat president, but not racist on electing a black Democrat mayor? And they are meant to be the examples of why the Democratic Party can’t win state-wide in Mississippi and in the South? The logic of that conclusion by the nation’s newspaper of record eludes me — but it sticks to a consistent script.

SIDSALTER

Drugs and fraudNearly 30 years ago, then-first lady

Nancy Reagan launched her “Say No To Drugs” campaign. The federal gov-ernment declared a war on illegal drugs. Has it worked? Or are we still facing a scourge on society that tears apart families and communities?

In the 1990s, cocaine and crack domi-nated the drug landscape. Through the first decade of this century, crys-tal methamphetamine reared its ugly head. Now, the fight against illegal drugs is facing an epidemic with pre-scription drug abuse.

A federal report released Monday showed abuse in the Medicare system to the tune of $148 million in prescrip-tion frauds. The most common of these coveted pills are oxycodone, Vicodin and Lorcet. In one case in Georgia, the federal report showed a Medicare recipient received 3,655 oxycontin pills — more than a four-year supply — from 58 different prescribers.

The problem is not isolated to certain states. It hits communities, including our own. On Sept. 29, a Tallulah physi-cian and his live-in girlfriend in Vicks-burg were charged with 300 counts each of prescription fraud. Authori-

ties believe the couple obtained nearly 14,000 pills and tablets through fraudu-lent prescription drug activity.

The two are out of jail on $100,000 bonds and their guilt or innocence will be decided in a courtroom. But if what police are saying is true, 14,000 pills is a bit much for personal use.

For each person taken off the streets, though, someone will fill in the void. As long as demand is high — and demand for these pills is very high — and money can be made, nefarious people will find a way to “work” the system to their advantage. Diagnosing the prob-lem is fairly simple. Crafting a solution is far from it.

This past week, Nobel prizes were awarded to scientists, to physicists, to physicians. Brilliant minds exist in this world. And it will take a brilliant mind to stop the national scourge of prescrip-tion drug abuse. The tightrope between people wary of over-government inter-ference and those who would do any-thing to stop this problem will have to be walked.

When crystal meth was a growing problem in Mississippi, the Legislature in 2010 passed a law regulating the sale

of pseudoephedrine, the key ingredi-ent in the drug. Meth lab seizures since the law passed have dropped by about 70 percent, a Mississippi Bureau of Nar-cotics report showed. But stop the crys-tal meth production, and dealers will move onto other drugs.

The key will be to devise a system, maybe a fingerprint analysis, con-nected to a national database that regulates every time someone tries to obtain narcotics. There are many positive, legal uses for these drugs and there might be inconvenience to law-abiding citizens.

But what is the alternative? Massive Medicare — think taxpayer — fraud? More addictions to horribly addictive drugs? More front page stories about area doctors?

It’s great to honor the scientist who discovered quasicrystals — the theory that atoms in a crystal could be packed in a pattern that could not be repeated — but it does not help a serious prob-lem facing us right now. Brilliant minds with focus and determination are the answers to America’s most current scourge.

A growing national scourge

Local war hero receives overdue recognitionWading ashore under relentless fire

from entrenched German positions overlooking the beaches at Normandy, Vicksburg’s Jack Hearn completed his mission. As a member of the 81st Chemical Batallion, Hearn moved mor-tars and equipment across the beaches. Hearn eventually made it to Paris and the German defensive positions.

He survived it all, and on Sept. 29, 2011, he received an honor long over-due. The Legion of Honor medal is the most prestigious award presented by France. Since 1802, the medal has rec-ognized people for personal merit and service to the French Republic. Hearn was joined by James Williams and the widow of Louis K. Brown in receiving honors at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Pride is so associated with veterans of past wars, but most especially World War II. There is an elevated sense of awe and sacrifice for those fighting men. The numbers of living World War II veterans is decreasing daily. Con-sider an American boy, 18 years old who entered the war in 1945 — the year of Allied victory. He would be in his mid-80s today. People just like him are dying every day.

The time to honor their living memo-ries is fleeting. Hearn, 90, stormed the beaches at Normandy more than 67 years ago. The time elapsed has made it even more special.

“This has been a long time coming,” said Pam Antoine, Hearn’s grand-daughter. “People don’t remember or think about things like this anymore.

It’s something you see on the movies. This wasn’t a movie for him.”

Recipients of the award are named by the French president. Hearn, an active member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, was told of his honor about a month ago. It was presented to him by Keltoum Rowland, Honorary Consul of France in Hattiesburg.

Veterans from all foreign wars deserve recognition. Yet, in some cases, the actions, bravery and valor stand out so much that special recognition is needed. Jack Hearn earned that medal from France.

He certainly deserves a thank-you and congratulations from those at home.

So, Mr. Hearn, we thank you and honor you.

Ceres is a great home for chain-makerIt is heartening to see activity at the

Ceres Research and Industrial Inter-plex off Interstate 20 in Flowers. The announcement Sunday that a chain-maker plans to move to the industrial park is welcome news in an otherwise down economy.

Laclede Chain Manufacturing Com-pany LLC of Missouri will move into the former Yorozu Automotive Mississippi facility, which has been shuttered since Yorozu left in 2008. The chain-maker is expected to employ 42 people at Ceres and will manufacture chains for car, truck and bus tires, as well as accesso-ries such as rope clips and grab hooks.

It also will mark the first major indus-try to move into the Ceres site since Yorozu left. Company CEO Jim Riley said the move was not prompted by tax breaks or financial incentives, but the facility’s location. The Ceres planta-tion site has direct access to the main east-west interstate thoroughfare between Dallas and Atlanta. The com-pany already has a facility in Missouri and Washington state, but Riley said this addition will allow manufactur-ing closer to his customer base in the Southeast.

Ceres has been considered by Warren County supervisors as the site of a new

county jail, though no physical move-ment on a jail has been completed. However, talks within the city and county are ongoing.

The future of Ceres is still in limbo. Having companies choose that site, without financial incentives from the taxpayers, shows the logistical advan-tages and expansion possibilities of Ceres.

Positive financial news is rare as the country struggles with a housing crisis and high unemployment. The move to Ceres is positive, hopefully for all par-ties involved.

OXFORD — Word is that voter ID will pass on Nov. 8.

Fine.No problem requiring people

to show a picture of themselves before they vote. Calling it “intimi-dation” in 2011 is nonsense.

But it’s worse nonsense to think that placing a voter ID require-ment in the Mississippi Constitu-tion will, of itself, add integrity and trustworthiness to the electoral process.

It won’t.Cheaters will still cheat — until

or unless enough of them are sent to prison for making a mockery of the one-person, one-vote precept that is foundational to self-rule. Put an ID requirement in the vaunted position of the state’s organic law, but remember that it’s the people in the trenches — local polling places — who choose whether to cheat.

“Gimmick solutions” are every-where in our culture.

For example, there’s the notion that providing more money to edu-cation will, all by itself, make stu-dents more attentive.

It won’t.The recipe for learning is a com-

petent teacher and a motivated student. A lot of other factors can be helpful. Better pay is likely, on average, to attract more competent teachers. But the worst teacher in the world can’t keep an eager student from learning. And the best teacher in the world would be hard-pressed to entice a stu-dent who sees no point in gaining knowledge or skills.

There’s also the gimmick that

“taxing the rich” will provide a workable, long-term solution for America’s budget.

It won’t.No amount of additional income

will help as long as Congress spends more and more every year regardless of the cash flow situation.

Term limits. Starting more than 20 years ago, states (not including Mississippi, where voters declined to jump on the bandwagon) decided that career politicians were the problem and capping their service was an ideal fix. So, many states now have term limits. And there’s no indication the limits have served any purpose other than to let a calendar on the wall replace the judgment of voters in deciding who should stay and who should go.

On any given day, we hear poli-ticians and regular folks, too, offer single-shot solutions. Some sound pretty good, but the best are patches and the worst are deceptive.

Voter ID has for many years served as such a foil in Mississippi. The subtext is, “If only we had it,

government would improve, be more responsive.”

While there are pockets where cheating is accepted, there is no widespread epidemic of fraudulent elections in Mississippi. Further, as Democratic gubernatorial nomi-nee Johnny DuPree points out, the treachery that takes place is out-side the realm of an ID require-ment. Dupree, who has won three mayoral elections in Hattiesburg, correctly says the real areas of abuse are vote-buying and absen-tee ballots.

To his credit, Republican guber-natorial nominee Phil Bryant hasn’t been heard to say adding a voter ID requirement in Missis-sippi, which he supports, is a cure-all for election problems.

The Mississippi officials on the front line of voter-related matters are the secretary of state and the attorney general.

The state has been fortunate. Former Secretary of State Eric Clark and current Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann have had some success cleaning up local poll books and trying to set higher standards for local elections offi-

cials and elections reporting.Clark initiated the effort to com-

pile a statewide voter list and end the madness of more than a dozen Mississippi counties with more registered voters than living resi-dents. Failing to keep voter rolls up to date is an open invitation to the type of cheating most often seen — people voting absentee in the names of people who are dead or who moved away long ago.

But policing is an ongoing pro-cess and requires the best efforts of local elections officials who work in obscurity. Most of these folks are exemplary of civic virtue. A smattering are snakes.

To ferret them out, there has been an increasing number of prosecutions initiated by Hose-mann and taken to court by Attor-ney General Jim Hood and local court officials who refuse to look the other way. In April, a woman named Lessadolla Sowers actu-ally got a five-year prison sentence from Circuit Judge Charles Web-ster in Tunica County after being accused of voting 31 times.

So pass voter ID, one of three proposed changes on the ballot. It won’t hurt anything.

But remember that the integrity and trustworthiness of an elec-tion depends almost entirely on the standards a community sets for itself when it selects people to administer voting. The cheat-ers will look at voter ID as just one more law to ignore.

This letter was prompted by the letter from “The” Kansas City Southern Railway in Sunday’s newspaper by Doniele Carlson of the railroad’s community affairs office.

Please contradict or correct any misstatements that may follow:• For many years, the railroad has

frequently ignored or altered the per car fee payments submitted by Warren County for use of the Old U.S. 80 bridge over the Missis-sippi River. I have never heard an acceptable reason for this being allowed to continue.

• It is my understanding that the contractor for the replacement of the Washington Street bridge is a subsidiary of the railroad — an interesting situation.

• If the “difficult geological prob-lem” has been “felt for years,” and was the reason for the closure of the bridge, one would assume this information would have been reflected in the cost and comple-tion time of the contract. Both, however, seem to have been, and are being, missed by large margins.

• The railroad states that they agreed to “manage this difficult project effectively at a fixed rate even though the primary benefi-ciary will be Vicksburg’s motor-ists.” When will the “effective management” begin?Completion of the bridge would

surely benefit the people on the other end of the “utilities left hang-ing in the air” these past years.

If you are, as you say, “making every effort to fix this difficult problem and complete it as quickly and responsibly as possible,” per-haps you should stick to railroad-ing and give up bridge building.

Vote for Amendment 26I urge fellow Mississippians to

vote “for” Amendment 26, the Per-sonhood Amendment, on Nov. 8. Its passage would expand legal protec-tion to living human beings not yet born.

I advocate this position because surgical and chemical abortion kills human beings and is abusive to pregnant mothers physically, emotionally and spiritually.

In addition to my knowledge of basic biology/embryology and the historical Christian ethic of the sacredness of all human life, I speak as one who was adopted from an orphanage in 1943 after having been abandoned soon after birth.

I speak, also, from the unique perspective of a veteran “sidewalk

counselor,” trying to help pregnant mothers and their companions choose life as they enter Mississip-pi’s abortion centers. I have dedi-cated about 10 hours per week for more than 25 years to this ministry.

It has been an experience. I have been overjoyed at the thousands of times I have seen mothers let their unborn babies continue to live, often with the help and support of the pro-life community. However, I have shed many tears with moth-ers and their companions who chose death as a “solution” to their crisis pregnancies.

What I have NOT seen is a mother gleefully exiting the center after undergoing an abor-tion appearing “emancipated.” We know the devastation that will follow.

What is the purpose of govern-ment? The first purpose of civil government is to protect its inno-cent citizens, especially those in the dawn and dusk of life. Who is more innocent and helpless than today’s unborn babies? In order to give God a reason to hear our prayers and heal our land, the kill-ing of the holy innocents must end! Mississippians, we are better than this.

Vote NO on Amendment 26As Nov. 8 draws near, I am grow-

ing increasingly concerned about the unintended medical, legal, and financial consequences of Missis-sippi Amendment 26. Also known as the “Personhood Amendment,” this change to the Mississippi State Constitution will allow for unprec-edented government intrusion into the lives of Mississippi families.

I am hopeful that Pro-Life Missis-sippians will fully examine Amend-

ment 26 and conclude that they can be both passionately pro-life and vehemently opposed to this broad-sweeping and dangerous initiative.

As Amendment 26 is written, the initiative would:• Limit access or outlaw many com-

monly used forms of birth control, including pills and IUDs.

• Harm fertility research and access to fertility treatments.

• Make criminalizing miscarriages an easier task, as 26 does not dis-tinguish between spontaneous miscarriage and murder.

• Criminalize life-saving measures for women suffering ectopic or tubal pregnancies.

• Drive up the costs of Medicaid, Medicare, health insurance, medi-cal malpractice insurance.

• Violate patient-doctor confidentiality.

• Allow the government — not doctor and patient — to make important, private health decisions.As residents of Mississippi, we

are the keepers of liberty and our laws MUST reflect our belief in jus-tice. Yes, Amendment 26 will ban abortion in Mississippi, but at too great a cost.

Vote NO on 26 on Nov. 8 if you trust Mississippi women to make responsible health care choices.

Park looks fantasticKudos to the groundskeepers and

landscaping crew of our beautiful Vicksburg National Military Park.

It looks even more stunning thanks to the hard work and care of the crews who worked through the heat and drought of the summer.

Not only do I get to enjoy God’s beautiful creation, but man’s excel-lent stewardship of his creation.

I am reminded of my favor-ite quote by Dr. Martin Luther King: Jr. “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he must sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, as Beethoven composed and as Shake-speare wrote poetry. He must sweep streets so well that when he is gone, all the hosts of heaven will pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper.’”

Thank you for blessing our com-munity with your example of paying homage to the past as well as your example of excellence to the present and future.

Don’t close post officesAccording to Postmaster General

Patrick Donahoe, the Postal Ser-

vice will have to shut down entirely this winter unless Congress acts to cover the $9.2 billion deficit expected at the end of the year.

How on earth did the Postal Service get in such a dire finan-cial situation? Perhaps there are a number of reasons but the No. 1 reason is the fault of the Postal Service itself. For decades it has been making contractual agree-ments with its workers, including no layoff clauses, which steadily increased the post offices’ cost.

Labor (wages) represent 80 percent of the postal agencies expenses compared with 53 per-cent at UPS and only 32 percent at FedEx. Obviously this is the one big reason the Postal Service is in such a mess — one of its own making.

However, perhaps to mislead the American people, the Postal Ser-vice is trying to blame its problems on having too many post offices. Thus it proposes closing 3,653 small, rural post offices across America — as many as 65 of which will be in Mississippi.

The total savings, according to the Postal Services figures, would be a miniscule about one-third of one percent of its $67 billion budget.

Those of us who need our little post offices are adamantly opposed to sacrificing them in order to help the Postal Service get out of this irresponsible mess that it got itself into.

The Postal Service has stirred up a hornet’s nest and its going to take a long time to calm us hornets down.

We should all let our senators and representatives in Washington know how we feel.

Autumn weather was in full effect in Vicksburg as temperatures ranged from the mid-70s to low 80s during the day, and the mid-40s and mid-50s during the overnight hours. The evening temper-atures were in the mid-50s at weeks end. No rain was recorded.

The Mississippi River on the local gauge saw rises and falls throughout the week, with the low level at 13.2 feet and a high level of 15.5 feet. Forecasters predicted a read-ing of 14.1 feet today.

A portion of the Georgia Memorial at the Vicksburg National Military Park was damaged during the moving of the 18-foot-tall granite struc-ture. The top section was sent to Georgia for repairs.

Thousands of revelers packed downtown last week-end for the second annual Bricks and Spokes event, the 29th annual Old Court House Museum Flea Market and the 17th annual downtown fall festival.

John P. Lee, 61, died on Sunday morning in a motor-cycle accident on Eagle Lake Shore Road. State troop-ers said Lee lost control of his Kawasaki and struck an embankment.

Jack Gillis showed off some of the models of a coal company and shotgun houses he built. Gillis is plan-ning on donating the models to the Vicksburg Battle-field Museum, to one day be housed in the Vicksburg Transportation Museum.

A West Monroe, La., woman died after she jumped from the Interstate 20 bridge into the Mississippi River. The body of Pamela Weems Mitch-ell, 45, was found about six miles south of the bridge near the Baxter Wilson Steam Elec-tric Plant.

Vicksburg High wide receiver A.J. Stamps and quarterback Cameron Cook-sey were recognized after obliterating county high school football records in a loss to Northwest Rankin High School. Cooksey threw for a county-record 589 yards, and Stamps caught 19 passes for 285 yards and five touchdowns.

The Vicksburg Warren School District will begin sur-veying sixth-graders on what their future career plans will be in an effort to determine the classes those students will take in the future. The Path-ways to Success program is sponsored by the Mississippi Department of Education.

Stanley Hearon, 55, of Vicksburg was arrested and charged in the city with armed robbery, possession of a Schedule II narcotic and kidnapping, and also faces false reporting and arson charges in the county. Hearon is accused of calling in a bomb threat to River Region Medi-cal Center before robbing Bat-tlefield Drug Store on Indiana Avenue.

The death of a former Vicksburg resident living in Hattiesburg was ruled “likely accidental” after first being treated as a homicide. Lance Logan, 24, a St. Aloysius grad-uate, died from a single gun-shot wound to the head on July 14.

The repair and replace-ment of a bridge over railroad tracks at Washington and Clark streets, already more than three months behind initial completion dates, will not result in late penalty pay-ments to the city. Kansas City Southern Railway, which is contracting out the replace-ment bridge, received another extension through February 2012 to complete the project.

In addition to Lee, local deaths during the week were M.C. Dulaney, Melvin C. Tyler, Jerry Wayne Clark, Guy L. Tucker and Tola Aldy Lewis.

Kansas City Southern should stick to railroading

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Decades of statistics on infant abductions in the U.S. suggest one of the least likely scenar-ios in this week’s disappear-ance of a Kansas City baby is that a stranger broke into her home and quietly snatched her from her crib.

But the numbers also lead national experts to believe that if 10-month-old Lisa Irwin were taken by an intruder in the middle of the night, as her parents told investigators, she is likely still alive.

Strangers who kidnap infants or young children, though rare, often do so because they want a child of their own, not because they intend to hurt or kill the child, said David Fin-kelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire.

“The recovery rate for infants is very, very high. There is real hope here,” added Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Chil-dren in Arlington, Va.

But the experts acknowledge that investigators often focus on close relatives when a baby goes missing, in part because statistics show that far more infants and young children

are killed by a parent than a stranger.

“Suspicion almost always falls heavily on the parents, especially when it’s young kids,” Finkelhor said. “Fifteen hundred parents kill their kids every year, and that’s heavily focused on the under 1 year of age category.”

Allen said his organization has handled 278 infant abduc-tion cases during his nearly three decades with the group. Only 13 cases involved a stranger coming into a home and taking a baby, and all but one of those children were recovered unharmed.

Lisa’s parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, reported their daughter missing early Tuesday. Their relationship with investigators chilled late Thursday, when police announced the parents were no longer talking to detec-tives. The parents quickly insisted they only needed a break from incessant police questioning.

On Saturday, police spoke with the couple, Kansas City police spokesman Capt. Steve Young said.

A day earlier, Bradley told The AP that police had accused her of being involved in her daughter’s disappear-ance, which she vehemently denies, and told her she failed a lie detector test.

The family announced Sat-urday they were organizing a reward, hoping it would lead to new information.

Allen and Finkelhor said that with little to go on, it’s natural for investigators to turn their focus to Bradley, who was the last person to see her little girl before she went missing.

Finkelhor noted that in some cases, parents have con-cocted stories about a kidnap-ping after accidentally killing their child instead of facing the tragedy.

THE VICKSBURG POST

SEAN MURPHYPOST WEB EDITOR

Dad loves to tell the story of his first extended visit to Mississippi. It was an early Saturday morning in Hattiesburg — a foot-ball weekend. Dad visited an ATM on Hardy Street and, while standing at the machine, heard someone behind him.

“Good morning,” the voice said.

Dad froze. “In New York,” he later would say, “if someone said that at an ATM, the first thing you would do is reach for your wallet.”

The man didn’t want the wallet. He was just being friendly. It probably never crossed his mind that the person on the receiving end would think to reach for the wallet. It’s one of the charms of living here, routinely overshadowed by our negatives.

One place where we always will be neighbors is riding the side roads. In this state there are count-less side roads and side roads off of side roads. Two lanes wide, wind-ing through farmland or country neighborhoods, riding them is a peaceful endeavor.

I am reminded of a Robert Hitt Neill piece that ran in this newspaper years ago. Neill wrote of the power of the two-fin-ger greeting — as opposed to the New York one-fin-ger style. When cruising down the country road with left hand atop the steering wheel, when a car passes, lift the index and middle finger — together — off the wheel. You’ll be amazed at the number of two-finger replies follow.

Driving through rural Hinds County last Satur-day with co-pilot Cali the Dog, each two-finger hello was returned by similar drivers. Never once did I worry about causing road rage or setting off some-one’s buttons. On two-lane roads, we can rest assured that we are neighbors. I check often, to make sure the hellos continue. The day country road unspo-ken hellos cease, we are in deep trouble.

Try it out on a Satur-day morning. Believe me, there is no shortage of side roads around these parts. Load the family and the dog and go for a drive. Get out and breathe the fresh air. Worried about getting lost? Forget it. Just drive west long enough and soon a fairly substantial body of water will appear. Practice the two-finger hello on passing motorists and check for a return.

My dad’s Mississippi is what I love about Missis-sippi. Good mornings at ATMs, two-finger passing hellos and being nice to one another.

And if you see me at an ATM, say hello.

I won’t reach for my wallet.

It most certainly will be empty.

Two would-be victims fought back in Vicksburg this weekend, one stopping an attempted armed robbery at a convenience store and the other seeing friends track a man who was arrested as a purse thief.

The clerk at the Super Quick, 2700 Mission 66 at Alcorn Drive, told police that two men wearing dark cloth-ing and masks entered the store around 10:30 Friday night. One waved a handgun and the other attempted to pull the cash register off the counter, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said Saturday.

“The clerk physically pushed him away and out the door, and both suspects fled on foot toward Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard,” said Stewart.

No one was injured and nothing was taken in the attack, and police are con-tinuing to investigate, he said.

At 6:30 a.m. Saturday, a woman reported that her Coach purse had been grabbed outside the McDon-ald’s at 2400 Clay St., Stew-art said.

The victim and some friends, all passengers on a tour bus from Alabama that had stopped in Vicks-burg, were eating outside the restaurant when a man approached and asked for a cigarette. While smoking, he grabbed the woman’s purse and ran east on Clay Street, Stewart said.

While police were called, one of the victim’s friends chased the man, keeping him in sight until officers arrived and arrested him, said the lieutenant

Madricus Funches, 23, 1199 Brushy Creek Road, George-town, was in the Warren County Jail. Bond was set at $25,000, Stewart said.

BRANDON — A Missis-sippi Highway Patrol trooper is suspended without pay after being indicted on three felony counts of prescription forgery.

Rankin County District Attorney Michael Guest said Steve Barber was indicted early last month, but records were sealed until Friday. Barber is part of Troop C, based in Pearl.

Barber waived arraign-ment and posted a $10,000 bond. His case is set for trial in March.

The indictment accuses Barber of fraudulently obtaining the controlled substances oxycodone and hydrocodone July 15. He’s also charged with fraudu-lently obtaining oxycodone Aug. 3.

Prosecutors had no record of whether Barber has an attorney.

If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and $1,000 for each count.

Department of Public Safety spokesman Jon Kala-har says suspension without pay is standard procedure.

PROGRESS, Miss. — It looks like the perfect, bucolic life — neat barns and a rustic store, cows grazing peacefully under the trees beside a pond, a sprawling house just across the road, and the third and fourth generation of dairy farmers working together.

But the life Kenny and Jamie Mauthe planned was almost wiped out by Hur-ricane Katrina. Now they are slowly rebuilding their business in Pike County, about 100 miles north of New Orleans, with the help of a $20,000 loan set up by chef John Besh. The Missis-sippi native and host of the public television show “Chef John Besh’s New Orleans” is working through his name-sake foundation to provide capital for small farms by way of low-interest loans.

The Mauthes have had a long recovery since the 2005 storm: They once owned 350 acres but had to sell all but 50. They had to sell most of their 120 cows, too — now they have just 14.

“The only damage we had here was to the roof of the barn. But it wiped out our market,” Kenny Mauthe said. “We mostly sold to New Orleans, and that was gone.”

The family is once again selling pasteurized, but not homogenized milk, in old-fashioned glass bottles, and

“Creole cream cheese,” a yogurt-like product that was once beloved by south Loui-siana customers, but had all but disappeared about 20 years ago because of the detailed process needed to make it.

They are slowly rebuild-ing their business, but needed more capital to take it further — something a small farming operation is unlikely to find from tradi-tional sources.

That’s where Besh came in.

“I know how difficult capi-tal is to come by these days,” Besh said. “We’ve been suc-cessful with the restaurants, but finding the money I need can be difficult at times. This is a way to make an

impactful change and gener-ate more small farmers.”

Besh’s foundation has set up a program that guar-antees low-interest loans — ranging from $1,000 to $20,000. It is not limited to Katrina victims.

“There has been a huge resurgence in small and urban farming,” Besh said. “It’s where we get so much of our wonderful prod-uct today. But much of it is struggling. The issue a lot of times for these folks has been that they have not been able to find traditional funding.”

Mauthes’ Progress Dairy Farm, which is now selling its products in farmers mar-kets, some retail stores and to restaurants — Besh uses

them — was the first recipi-ent of a Besh loan, receiving the maximum $20,000. Besh said others are in the appli-cation process.

“We want to earn enough money to support ourselves and for our daughters to support themselves,” Jamie Mauthe said. “And I would like to get a new cheese maker so we can expand our product.”

Kenny Mauthe and one of his daughters now work out-side jobs as well as on the farm.

The loans are available to farmers within a 200-mile radius of New Orleans — including portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and

In yet another strong-arm robbery in the city, around 3:30 p.m. Friday, a man reported that an acquain-tance punched him in the mouth and stole $80 while the two were “hanging out” together in the 1500 block of Sky Farm Avenue, Stewart

Flaggs, 58, is seeking a sev-enth term in the Legislature from the district that covers central Vicksburg and north-west Warren County. He is opposed by Republican Sam Smith in the Nov. 8 general election.

Flaggs graduated from Jackson State University and Hinds Community College. He is a member of Wisemen, Toastmasters and Optimist clubs and is a former member of the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals in Vicksburg. He is a coun-selor in Warren County Youth

Court.His committee assignments

include the chairmanship of the House Banking and Finan-cial Services Committee and seats on the Appropriations, Executive Contingent Fund, Gaming, Insurance, Investi-gate State Offices, Legislative Budget, Medicaid and Public Health and Human Services committees.

Education and economic development are among “a number of challenges” the state faces, Flaggs said, count-ing smaller class sizes, state-funded pre-kindergarten and support for incentive pack-ages for small businesses as priorities.

“I believe that you, the cit-izens of District 55, deserve

demonstrated leadership that is proven and effective. It is my greatest honor to serve you as your state representa-tive and humbly ask for you vote in the Nov. 8 election,” Flaggs said.

by the Hope Credit Union, which evaluates them and sets up a repayment plan, Besh said. The term of the loans can vary. As a guaran-tee for the loan, the founda-tion puts cash into a pro-tected account tied to the specific loan.

The program also matches

those getting loans with stu-dents in the Tulane Univer-sity MBA program to help them with business plans.

The Tulane program, called Net Impact, is an interna-tional organization of volun-teers from MBA programs who volunteer time for social programs.

Besh has not set a limit on the number of loans.

“The more we lend the better it is for these guys and gals out working to produce all the wonderful products

days, until those last-min-ute and mailed registrations, which had to be postmarked by Saturday, are processed.

A report run Tuesday showed 30,771 registered voters, Ashley-Palmertree said, an increase of 179 over the 30,592 on the rolls head-ing into the Aug. 2 party pri-maries. That increase plus last week’s stragglers stand to boost Warren County rolls about .8 percent for the general election, and nearly 1.5 percent more than the 30,401 on the rolls for last year’s general election for Congress.

Local voter rolls have decreased since the 2008 presidential election and the 2007 state and county elec-tion, primarily because of routine purging during each election cycle to remove names deemed inactive, most commonly because they have either moved or died. In 2008, Warren County had 36,957 registered voters and in 2007, 35,550.

Statewide, voter registra-tion totals about 1.8 million.

In just under a month, Warren County voters will elect all five seats on the Board of Supervisors. In addition, five of seven countywide offices are contested.

• In the race for District 1 supervisor, Republican John Arnold, 57, faces indepen-dents Reed Birdsong, 51, the county’s building permit officer, and Jerry Briggs, 34, chief of the Culkin Volunteer Fire Department. Arnold ousted three-term incumbent David McDonald in the pri-

mary runoff Aug. 23.• District 2 Supervisor

William Banks, 61, a Demo-crat, faces Republican Trey Smith III, 31, assistant chief of the Culkin Volunteer Fire Department, and indepen-dent De Reul, 60. Banks is seeking a second full term on the board.

• District 3 Supervisor Charles Selmon, 52, a Demo-crat, is challenged by Vicks-burg Warren School District Trustee James Stirgus Jr., 52, an independent. Selmon is seeking a fifth term on the board.

• District 4 Supervisor Bill Lauderdale, 64, an indepen-dent, faces Democrat Casey Fisher, 45, a minister and retired postal employee. Lau-derdale is seeking a sixth, nonconsecutive term on the board.

• District 5 Supervisor Richard George, 62, an inde-pendent, goes against inde-pendents J.W. Carroll, 64, a retired electrical contractor, Joe Wooley, 68, in his fourth bid for the office, and Ellis Tillotson, 56, a local farmer. George is seeking a fifth, nonconsecutive term on the board.

• The race for chancery clerk features Republican Donna Farris Hardy, 57, Democrat Walter Osborne, 52, and independents Alecia Ashley, 36, and Gene Thomp-son, 70.

• Incumbent Circuit Clerk Shelly Ashley-Palmertree, 41, a Democrat, is chal-lenged by Republican David Sharp, 29, and independents Jan Hyland Daigre, 50, and Robert Terry, 55.

• Incumbent Sheriff Martin Pace, 53, an independent, faces Democrat Bubba Comans, 56.

• For tax assessor, Demo-crat Angela Brown, 42, faces Republican Mike Caru-thers, 56, and independents Ben Luckett, 38, and Doug Tanner, 52.

• Incumbent Tax Collector Antonia Flaggs Jones, 40, a Democrat, faces Republican Patty Mekus, 45.

Warren County voters will also help elect a governor, lieutenant governor, state treasurer, secretary of agri-culture and commissioner of insurance, and fill two of three seats representing Warren County in the Leg-islature. District-level races for the Mississippi Depart-ment of Transportation and the Public Service Commis-sion also will appear on the Warren County ballot.

• For governor, Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, a Republican, faces Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree, a Democrat. The

winner succeeds Gov. Haley Barbour, who is term-limited.

• For lieutenant governor, State Treasurer Tate Reeves, a Republican, faces Reform Party candidates Tracella Lou O’Hara Hill and Lisa Barfield-McCarty.

• Attorney General Jim Hood, the lone Democrat among the Mississippi’s eight statewide officeholders, faces Steve Simpson, former head of the Department of Public Safety.

• Running to succeed Reeves as treasurer are Republican Lynn Fitch, exec-utive director of the state personnel board, Democrat Connie Moran, mayor of Ocean Springs, and Reform Party candidates Shawn O’Hara and Jon McCarty.

• State Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Brookhaven, Dem-ocrat Joel Gill, mayor of Pickens, and Reform Party candidate Cathy Toole vie to succeed the retiring Lester Spell as commissioner of agriculture and commerce.

• Incumbent Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, a Republican, faces John Pan-nell of the Reform Party.

• State Auditor Stacey Pick-ering faces Reform Party canßdidate Ashley Norwood.

• State Insurance Commis-sioner Mike Chaney, Repub-lican, faces former state rep-resentative Louis Fondren, a Democrat, and Reform Party candidates Willice Law-Jackson and Barbara Dale Washer.

Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, faces Democrat Jim Culberson. The district covers parts of four precincts in the north-eastern part of the county. State Rep. Alex Monsour and State Sen. Briggs Hopson III, both Republicans, are unop-posed this year.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) — A man who showed up at the offices of a newspaper in a dazed state was shot and wounded by two police officers Saturday after he charged at them with a knife.

The shooting happened just past 4 p.m. at the offices of the Daily Gazette after a quiet news day in Schenectady, a city of more than 60,000 just outside the state capital of Albany.

The newspaper said in a story posted on its website that the man appeared weak and possibly medicated when he arrived. He talked his way into the locked building by asking a security guard for a drink of water. Then, he refused to leave and began wandering the halls.

The man, who wasn’t imme-diately identified by either the

newspaper or police, eventu-ally said he needed help. The

newspaper’s general manager called 911 when he saw that

the intruder was carrying a knife and bleeding from his

hand.The Gazette said the two

officers who responded tried repeatedly to get the man to drop the weapon.

“For 5 minutes they asked him to put the knife down,” said Linda Eldeen, a friend of general manager Daniel Beck’s who was at the office at the time. “He did start going at them. He looked like he was going to charge them.”

Witnesses said the officers fired about five times when the man lurched at them from just a few feet away, still carry-ing the weapon.

He was still breathing when emergency responders car-ried him away on a stretcher, the Gazette reported.

Schenectady police Sgt. Mat-thew Dearing said police were still gathering information on what happened.

DALLAS (AP) — George W. Bush says that after eight years in the White House, he’s happy to be back home in Texas and out of the spotlight.

But the former commander-in-chief tells The Associated Press there’s one aspect of his presidency he still misses: interaction with U.S. troops. And Bush, who sent them to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, says that despite his desire to remain largely out of the public eye, he wants to make sure veterans and military members know they still have his support.

“I was a little concerned that our veterans don’t think that I still respect them and care for them a lot,” Bush told the AP. He added later, “There’s noth-ing as courageous in my judg-ment as someone who had a leg blown off in combat over-coming the difficulties.”

B u s h i s hosting next week’s War-r ior Open golf tourna-ment in sub-urban Dallas, an event fea-turing mem-

bers of the U.S. Armed Forces

wounded while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, includ-ing those who lost limbs and suffered brain injuries. Bush joined more than a dozen wounded military members in the Warrior 100 — a 62-mile mountain bike ride he hosted in West Texas last spring.

These public appearances are the exception to the life-style Bush has led in his post-presidency.

After leaving office two years ago, Bush and former first lady Laura Bush bought a house in Dallas and started work on the

George W. Bush Presidential Center, slated to open in 2013. He has attended select events relating to the center, as well as a ceremony with President Barack Obama marking the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But he has largely remained out of the public eye.

Bush said he doesn’t want veterans to mistake his pri-vate nature with a lack of appreciation for what they’ve done on the battlefield.

“They hadn’t seen me and they hadn’t seen me with the troops,” he said. “So therefore I am using mountain biking and golf to stay connected with the military, people who served during my presidency.”

Military members and vet-erans groups have generally held Bush in high regard, despite the nationwide pro-tests and international con-troversy that grew more fer-

vent as the American death toll grew in Afghanistan and Iraq under his command.

More than 1,680 military members have died in Afghan-istan since the U.S. began bombing there in October 2001, while more than 4,470 military members have died in Iraq since the war began there in March 2003. Another 46,000 have been wounded in both campaigns.

“What I’m concerned about is that Americans forget the sacrifice,” Bush said. “I don’t think they are right now, but one of my objectives is to make sure they never do.”

Bush, who since leaving office also has made appear-ances at events for organi-zations that benefit troops, said he gets inspiration from meeting members of the mili-tary who have overcome seri-ous injuries. He said there’s not much he misses about

the presidency, but added he does miss being com-mander-in-chief because he has “great respect for those men and women who wear the uniform.”

Brian “Ski” Donarski, 43, is among the veterans Bush has invited to the two-day golf tournament that starts Monday. The Army first lieu-tenant was seriously wounded when a mine blew up in Iraq in 2006 and spent 13 months rehabilitating from a trau-matic brain injury, a fracture in his neck, bulged disks in his back and undergoing shoul-der surgery.

Though Bush has spent most of the past couple of years out of the limelight, Donar-ski never doubted the former president’s commitment to the troops.

“I know he didn’t forget us,” he said.

Libyans claim gainsin Gadhafi hometown

SIRTE, Libya — Libyan revolutionary forces claimed to have captured parts of a sprawling convention center that loyalists of Moammar Gadhafi have used as their main base in the ousted leader’s hometown and were shelling the city to try to rout snipers from rooftops in their offensive aimed at crushing this key bastion of the old regime.

The inability to take Sirte, the most important remain-ing stronghold of Gadhafi supporters, more than six weeks after the capital fell has stalled efforts by Libya’s new leaders to set a timeline for elections and move for-ward toward democracy.

Gadhafi supporters also hold the enclave of Bani Walid, where revolutionary forces have been stymied by a challenging terrain. But the transitional leadership has said it will declare liberation after Sirte’s capture.

10 more found deadin Mexico’s Veracruz

VERACRUZ, Mexico — Mexican officials say 10 more bodies have been found in what appears to be more bloodshed in the battle between rival cartels for con-trol of drug trafficking in the port city of Veracruz.

The discoveries raise the number of deaths since Sept. 20 to at least 75 as the rela-tively new Jalisco New Gen-eration gang claims to be attacking members of the Zetas cartel.

A statement Saturday from the Veracruz state prosecu-tor’s office says seven dead were found piled in a pickup truck late Friday. Three more dead were found on road-sides in two other locations earlier in the day.

Police found 32 bodies left in three houses in Veracruz on Thursday.

CAIRO (AP) — On her first day to school, 15-year-old Christian student Ferial Habib was stopped at the doorstep of her new high school with clear instructions: either put on a headscarf or no school this year.

Habib refused. While most Muslim women in Egypt wear the headscarf, Christians do not, and the move by admin-istrators to force a Christian student to don it was unprec-edented. For the next two weeks, Habib reported to school in the southern Egyp-tian village of Sheik Fadl every day in her uniform, without the head covering, only to be turned back by teachers.

One day, Habib heard the school loudspeakers echoing her name and teachers with megaphones leading a number of students in chants of, “We don’t want Ferial here,” the teenager told The Associated Press.

Habib was allowed last week to attend without the scarf, and civil rights advocates say her case stokes the fears of Egypt’s significant Christian minority that they will become the victims as Islamists grow more assertive after the Feb.

11 toppling of President Hosni Mubarak. It also illustrates how amid the country’s politi-cal turmoil, with little sense of who is in charge and gov-ernment control weakened, Islamic conservatives in low-level posts can step in and try to unilaterally enforce their own decisions.

Wagdi Halfa, one of Habib’s lawyers, said the root problem is a lack of the rule of law.

“We don’t want more laws but we want to activate the laws already in place,” he said. “We are in a dark tunnel in terms of sectarian tension. Even if you have the majority who are moderate Muslims, a minority of extremists can make big impact on them and

poison their minds.”In the past weeks, riots have

broken out at two churches in southern Egypt, prompted by Muslim crowds angered by church construction. One riot broke out, near the city of Aswan, even after church officials agreed to a demand by local ultraconservative Muslims, called Salafis, that a cross and bells be removed from the building.

The violence is particularly frustrating for Christians because soon after Muba-rak’s fall the new government promised to review and lift heavy Mubarak-era restric-tions on building or renovating churches. The promise raised hopes among Christians that the government would estab-lish a clear legal right to build, resolving an issue that in recent years has increasingly sparked riots. But the review never came, and Salafi clerics have increased their rhetoric against Christians, including accusing them of seeking to spread their faith with new churches.

The demand that all students wear the higab was a decision by administrators and teach-ers at the high school.

Phillies’ Howardhas torn Achilles

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard might miss the start of spring train-ing and possibly part of the regular season after tearing an Achilles ten-don.

The power-hitting first baseman was injured on the final play of Philadel-phia’s season-ending loss to St. Louis in Game 5 of the NL division series Fri-day night, falling as he ran out of the batter’s box on his groundout.

The team said Saturday night an MRI revealed a rupture of Howard’s left Achilles tendon. Injuries of that type usually re-quire at least six months of recuperation.

Howard, the 2006 NL MVP, batted .253 with a team-high 33 homers and 116 RBIs this season.

PASCAGOULA — Carlton

Campbell’s punt attempt in the end zone ricocheted off Elliott Bexley’s helmet and back into Campbell’s hands. The stunned St. Aloysius punter and running back scampered for 34 yards, the team’s second-longest play from scrimmage.

It was that kind of night for the Flashes on Saturday against Resurrection, which demolished the Flashes 39-7 in a dis-appointing dismember-ment.

Everything that could’ve gone wrong, did for St. Al (1-7, 1-5 Region 4-1A). Four mishandled snaps by three different quarterbacks. Two interceptions. Four sacks. A total inability to stop Resurrection from doing what it wanted to do, through the air or on the ground.

St. Al is in the midst of a four-game losing streak and has been outscored 132-10 in that span. Any playoff

Russell sparks Bulldogs to victoryBy The Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Mississippi State Bull-dogs avoided the controversy that would have ensued had they lost to winless Alabama-Birmingham. But in the pro-cess, they might have created a quarterback controversy.

Backup quarterback Tyler Russell replaced an ineffec-tive Chris Relf to start the second half and threw three touchdowns to help Missis-sippi State overcome a poor first half and defeat UAB 21-3 on Saturday.

With Relf at quarterback, the Bulldogs (3-3) had 118 yards in total offense in the first half and punted five times. They trailed 3-0 at halftime.

After the change was made to Russell, who had played in only two of the first five games this season, MSU gained 298 yards and punted only once.

“It wasn’t that Chris was playing poorly. I just felt we needed a spark,” MSU coach Dan Mullen said. “I guess putting Tyler in was the best thing I could do to try to create a spark. He came in and played exceptionally well. He had a lot of energy.”

On his second possession, Russell led the Bulldogs on a seven-play, 89-yard touch-down drive. The score came on an 18-yard pass to Marcus Green, who outjumped UAB linebacker Laman-ski Ware for the ball at the 4-yard line and ran in for the touchdown.

Russell followed that with fourth-quarter touchdown passes of 57 yards to Chad Bumphis and 20 yards to Malcolm Johnson. He fin-ished with 166 yards on 11-of-13 passing, including a stretch of eight consecutive completions.

“He (Mullen) just said

he was going to give me a shot to start the second half,” Russell said. “Once I got that first completion, I calmed down and just played football.”

Mullen decided to make the change after watching the Bulldogs get shut out in the first half by a UAB team that had allowed an average of 35 points per game this season.

MSU’s only scoring threat in the half ended when Relf was sacked for an

11-yard loss, and then Derek Depasquale missed a 32-yard field-goal attempt. After that, UAB (0-5) held the Bulldogs to a total of 59 yards on their next five possessions of the half.

“We were a little flat in the first half,” Mullen said. “Everyone was looking around for somebody else to make the play.”

Relf, who had only 46 yards passing in the first half, did not complain about the

switch to Russell, though he said the offensive gameplan seemed to open up more in the second half.

“I just think we need to throw the ball down the field more. I didn’t have that chance and Tyler did,” Rus-sell said. “He made the big throws. I’m just happy with the win.”

Irvine, Hall take firstat Over the River RunBy Jeff [email protected]

A beautiful day helped create a record crowd for the 23rd annual Over the River Run on Saturday morning on the old Mississippi River Bridge.

More than 600 runners, walkers and fun run par-ticipants competed in the annual fall event.

Tim Irvine, 43, of Meridian was the overall 5-mile road race winner with a time of 29 minutes, 31 seconds. Irvine, who was competing in the race for the first time, said the sunny day made it ideal to get out and run across the Mississippi River.

“It was a good day to run and I was able to get out to a lead and make them come get me,” Irvine said. “It’s a pretty hard race, even though it is straight.”

Jerry White of Brandon was second in 30:36, and served as Irvine’s main competition.

“When I saw Jerry was third after we made the turn, I knew what I had to do,” Irvine said.

White said Irvine is tough to beat when he gets a lead.

“He’s real good when he’s running out front and he was able to keep it up,” White said. “It was much tougher coming back because the wind and sun was in your face. It was real nice going out.”

The race also was a fun one for Vicksburg’s Kristi Hall, who returned to the winner’s circle in the women’s race. She posted a winning time of 33:56.

“For all those tough run-ners out there, thank you for not beating me today,” Hall said with a laugh. “You know, I’m 33, and with every race, it

Oct. 91997 — Dean Smith retires as

North Carolina’s basketball coach after 36 years, national champion-ships in 1982 and 1993, and more victories than anyone else. Smith, 879-254, took the Tar Heels to his 11th Final Four last season and his 13th ACC tournament title.

2004 — Texas Tech beats Nebraska 70-10, handing the Corn-huskers the worst loss in their 114-year history.

2004 — Notre Dame becomes the second Division I-A team to win 800 games with a 23-15 win over Stanford.

2005 — Chris Burke hits a home run in the bottom of the 18th inning and Roger Clemens pitches three scoreless innings of relief in Hous-ton’s 7-6, series-ending victory over Atlanta in the NLDS. The longest postseason game in history takes 5 hours, 50 minutes to complete.

golfBaird in positionto end winless streak

SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Briny Baird drove the 17th green and made a 15-foot eagle putt for a 7-under 64 to take a two-shot lead Saturday at the Frys.com Open and give him a chance to finally win a PGA Tour event.

Baird has gone 347 tournaments over 12 years on tour without hoisting a trophy. But he has been around long enough to know that anything can happen in the final round, especially with Ernie Els and Paul Casey in the last group with him at CordeValle.

Baird doesn’t see his lack of closing experience as a big disadvantage.

“It’s got to be good,” Baird said. “I’ll ask them what they’re thinking on every hole. I’d get some really good answers, and it would proba-bly drive them insane.”

Els failed to make up any ground on the easier back nine and had a 67. Casey saved par from a hazard on the final hole to salvage a 68.

Tiger Woods, in his first event in nearly two months, shot a 68 and was nine shots behind.

college footballBig 12 director hopesMissouri sticks around

STILLWATER, Okla. — Okla-homa State president Burns Hargis, the new chairman of the Big 12’s board of directors, expressed hope Saturday that Missouri will stay in the conference.

But right now, it’s nothing more than hope.

“I really think after all’s said and done and everything is considered, I think they’ll stay. I hope they’ll stay,” Hargis said during Oklahoma State’s game against Kansas.

“It’s a great school and great people and great rivalries. I think it would just be a real loss to the con-ference for them to leave.”

Missouri was the lone Big 12 member to abstain from the league’s votes this week to invite TCU as a new member and to give the money from their top two levels of televised games to the league for the next six years.

were passes. And though the Bulldogs ran the ball more often once they gained the lead, with Vick Ballard fin-ishing with 101 yards rush-ing, the initial change in strategy was noticeable to the Blazers.

“It seemed they opened up their playbook a little more when they put (Russell) in,” UAB cornerback Cornelius Richards said. “He threw the ball a little more than (Relf).”

As for the Blazers, they gained a total of 340 yards but managed only a 37-yard field goal by Ty Long.

UAB committed two turn-overs in Mississippi State ter-ritory in the second half, and quarterback Jonathan Perry overthrew several receivers who were open for poten-tially big gains.

“You have to hit those downfield throws, and we did not get that done,”

UAB coach Neil Callaway said, “We made too many mistakes that cost us certain plays. We are not the kind of team that can withstand mis-takes like that.”

Mississippi State will return to Southeastern Con-ference play next week when it hosts South Carolina.

Southern Miss torpedoes NavyANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP)

— Halfway to its first 10-win season in 23 years, Southern Miss made Navy pay for its early inability to score, then poured it on for its fourth straight victory.

With a bye week ahead before a stretch of six Confer-ence USA games, the Golden Eagles will have plenty of time to savor a most satisfy-ing triumph.

Austin Davis passed for 283 yards and three touchdowns, and Southern Miss beat Navy 63-35 on Saturday.

“Since I’ve been there, I think this is as good as we’ve executed from the start to the finish,” said Davis, who engi-neered nine touchdown drives in 13 attempts. “I thought we didn’t let up in the second half. We played just as well in the second half as we did in the first.”

Jeremy Hester rushed for 118 yards and a score and Tracy Lampley ran for two touch-downs for the Golden Eagles (5-1). Davis completed 21 of 23 passes and added 75 rushing yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.

Though Southern Miss couldn’t completely corral Navy’s vaunted running attack, the Golden Eagles didn’t let the Midshipmen grind out so much yardage that they were playing from behind early on.

“I knew they could score,” Southern Miss coach Larry Fedora said. “But I thought we could make them snap it and score and eat some clock. They were getting too many big plays and when they are doing that offensively, you have to answer.”

Navy (2-3) rallied for 28 sec-ond-half points but lost a third consecutive game for the first time in four seasons under coach Ken Niumatalolo, sur-rendering a season high in points.

“It’s been a long time since we got our butts whipped like that,” Niumatalolo said. “And that starts with me. It was a thorough beating.”

The Midshipmen played without fullback Alexander Teich, their leading rusher, who was held out for disciplin-ary reasons.

Navy’s Delvin Diggs ran for two touchdowns, and Proctor added 123 rushing yards.

It was the most points allowed by Navy since a 65-19 home loss to North Carolina State on Sept. 7, 2002. South-ern Miss, meanwhile, topped 50 points for the second time in four games and is averag-ing 48 points a game during its winning streak.

LSU throttles Florida;Alabama tops VandyBy The Associated Press

Experience at quarterback wasn’t the only advantage top-ranked LSU held over reeling Florida.

Spencer Ware rushed for 109 yards and two scores, each of LSU’s senior quar-terbacks passed for touch-downs, and the Tigers com-fortably defeated 17th-ranked Florida 41-11 on Saturday.

Jarrett Lee gave the Tigers (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Con-ference) the lead for good on their second offensive play, hitting Rueben Randle deep over the middle for a 46-yard touchdown. Jordan Jefferson used a jump pass to Mitch Joseph for another score.

LSU’s fast, fierce defense was too much for Florida (4-2, 2-2), which started fresh-man Jacoby Brissett at quar-terback because of injuries to senior John Brantley and freshman Jeff Driskel.

Brissett was intercepted twice on deep throws, once each by safety Brandon Taylor and star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu.

LSU led 17-0 after its first three possessions and was never threatened in what became the sixth double-digit victory in as many games for the Tigers, who have trailed for only 6:33 all season. The Tigers more than doubled the Gators in total yards, 453-213. LSU had 238 yards rush-ing alone.

Alabama 34, Vandy 0AJ McCarron passed for

career highs of 237 yards and four touchdowns and No. 2 Alabama shut out Vanderbilt.

Trent Richardson rushed for 107 yards and a touch-

down in his fifth straight 100-yard effort for the Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC).

The Commodores (3-2, 1-2) trailed by only seven points until the final minute of the opening half, then Alabama took over with four straight touchdown drives.

Arkansas 38, Auburn 14

Tyler Wilson threw for 262 yards on Saturday night, completing 19 straight passes at one point to lead No. 10 Arkansas (5-1, 1-1 SEC) over No. 15 Auburn (4-2, 2-1).

Joe Adams also had a 92-yard touchdown run on Arkansas’ first play of the second half to push the lead to 28-14.

Georgia 20, Tennessee 12

Isaiah Crowell ran for two touchdowns in the second half as Georgia beat Ten-nessee (3-2, 0-2 SEC) to give coach Mark Richt his 100th career victory.

The win keeps the Bulldogs (4-2, 3-1) in a two-way tie with South Carolina for first in the SEC East.

Oklahoma 55, Texas 17Landry Jones threw three

touchdown passes, Domin-ique Whaley ran 64 yards for another touchdown and the Oklahoma defense scored three more touchdowns, car-rying the No. 3 Sooners (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) to a rout of No. 11 Texas (4-1, 1-1).

The Sooners wound up with their most lopsided win in this series since 2003, when they won by a series-record 52 points.

JSU cruises past Arkansas-Pine BluffFrom staff reports

Casey Therriault threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another score, as Jackson State used a big sec-ond half to pull away from Arkansas-Pine Bluff and claim a 48-10 victory on Saturday.

Therriault completed 17 of 22 passes for 263 yards. He threw a 77-yard touch-down pass to Rico Richard-son in the first quarter and a 45-yarder to Richardson in the second, but Jackson State led just 14-10 at halftime.

Early in the third quarter, Arlane McCree returned a blocked punt for a touch-down and the Tigers started rolling. B.J. Lee scored on an 8-yard run with 5 1/2 minutes to go in the quarter and JSU tacked on three more scores in the fourth to turn the game into a rout.

Richardson finished with

five receptions for 174 yards for Jackson State, and Tommy Gooden rushed for 107 yards on only 12 carries.

Alabama A&M 37,Miss. Valley St. 14

Deaunte Mason threw for three touchdowns and Ala-bama A&M (4-2, 3-1 SWAC)

The loss was the 17th straight for the Delta Devils (0-6, 0-5), who have also lost 19 consecutive conference games.

Millsaps 33, Austin 27Millsaps (3-3, 2-1 Southern

Collegiate Athletic Confer-ence) rolled up 507 yards of total offense and held off a late charge by Austin College.

Konner Joplin was 24-of-37 passing for 328 yards and two touchdowns for Millsaps. Jason O’Rear caught nine passes for 167 yards and a TD.

Belhaven 45, Faulkner 27

Quarterback Alex Wil-liams threw for one touch-down and ran for two more scores to lead Belhaven over Faulkner University.

Justin Gaines rushed for 250 yards and two touchdowns for Belhaven. Both scores came in the fourth quar-ter, after Faulkner had rallied from an early 14-point deficit to take a 27-24 lead.

M.H.-Baylor 35, MC 12Darius Wilson rushed for

138 yards, LiDarral Bailey ran for two touchdowns, and Mary Hardin-Baylor beat Mis-sissippi College.

hopes it once harbored have been replaced by a desire to merely win another game before the clock runs out on the season.

The Flashes host Stringer on Friday night, then have a bye week before finishing the schedule at home against first-place Bogue Chitto and on the road at Mount Olive.

“We didn’t get off the bus,” St. Al coach B.J. Smithhart said. “We’ve got to fix a lot of problems. We’ve got to get a lot better.”

In the early going Satur-day, it looked like St. Al came ready to fight.

On the third play from scrimmage, Carlisle Koestler hit Zane Russell on a slant that Russell turned into a 56-yard catch and run. But from there, the Flashes went backward and Blake Hudson pushed a field goal attempt wide left.

It never seemed to get better after that.

After St. Al’s defense forced a three-and-out, Smithhart sent Forest Logue in at quar-terback for a change of pace. But Logue mishandled the shotgun snap and Resurrec-tion (2-4, 1-4) recovered at the St. Al 33-yard line, setting

up Alonzo Peavy’s 16-yard touchdown run.

Resurrection forced a three-and-out after sacking Koestler on third down, then went to work with a power running game. Jared Shan-non finished the drive on the first play of the second quarter with a 5-yard TD run to put Resurrection up 14-0 after Parker Williams’ PAT.

St. Al finally got a drive going, as a pass interference penalty on a Shannon inter-ception gave the Flashes a big first down. Logue took the handoff out of the gun 30 yards to paydirt to cut the deficit to 14-7 after Hudson’s extra point.

As the Eagles did all night, they responded. Shan-non’s second touchdown, an 18-yard run with under three minutes remaining in the half, capped a nine-play, 74-yard drive.

St. Al’s final drive of the second quarter stalled, as Koestler was sacked twice. Campbell’s punt was taken by Shannon, who returned it 35 yards to the St. Al 42.

On the next play, freshman quarterback Larry Sisson heaved a toss to Shannon, who beat Campbell and

another St. Al defender for a jump ball at the 20. Shannon slipped out of the grasp of the two St. Al defenders and scored a back-breaking TD with just 14 seconds left in the half to put Resurrection up 27-7.

The Flashes left the field at the half stunned and surprised.

“Maybe it was playing on Saturday. Maybe it was the long bus ride,” Senior center Robert Arledge said about St. Al’s poor performance. “I just don’t know.”

In the second half, it was more of the same.

Resurrection scored on its first drive on a 33-yard run by Peavy and went to their air on its final drive, as Sisson hit four straight completions and capped the scoring with a 20-yard TD hookup with Irving Spikes.

“We knew it was hard to click on all cylinders after a four-game losing streak,” Resurrection coach Rocky Gaudin said. “In the past four weeks, we played four of the top teams in the state of Mis-sissippi and we had chances to win all four of those games. So I’m proud of our kids for bouncing back.”

Keselowskitakes raceat Kansas

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Brad Keselowski dominated the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Kansas Speedway, leading 173 of 200 laps on the 1.5-mile tri-oval.

Keselowski, the Sprint Cup winner at the track in June, fell behind Carl Edwards after a late caution, but pulled ahead with 11 laps to go and beat Edwards by 2.795 seconds.

“I wish I could take this car to tomorrow,” Keselowski said about the Cup race today.

Elliott Sadler was third, fol-lowed by Paul Menard, points leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Kevin Harvick.

Keselowski, a four-time winner in the Nationwide Series this year, only lost the lead twice over the course of the race, each time regaining it within 10 laps.

With the third-place finish, Sadler narrowed Stenhouse’s lead in the standings to 20 points with four races to go. Reed Sorenson, who lost his ride with Turner Motorsports earlier this week despite sit-ting third in the standings, finished 26th in MacDon-ald Motorsports’ second car and fell 70 points behind Stenhouse.

Edwards’ second-place finish in Roush Fenway’s No. 60 Ford narrowed the owner’s points standings as well. The No. 60 now trails Joe Gibbs Rac-ing’s No. 18 Toyota by seven points, after coming into the race down by 13.

Celebrating 25 years of columnsThis month marks 25 years

that I have been writing a weekly syndicated newspa-per column.

It started off by accident, really. I went to Ole Miss out of high school to play football, but I scored high enough on the ACT that they put me in Writer’s English, which was a graduate course, although I only got regular freshman credit for it.

Dr. Tom Truss made us write for four years, but he pretty much let us write about what we wanted to, which I think is a key to writing. If he had wanted me to turn out four years of romance short stories, I’d never have written another line, because even after 47 years of marriage, I still don’t understand women.

Anyway, I wrote a lot, made good grades and continued to write after graduation.

At first, lots of love letters back to Betsy while I was deployed and in combat. After I got back home, I became a closet writer. I was farming, so was getting up early. Betsy doesn’t like to get up early, and doesn’t care for me to bother her when I get up early, so I’d slip out of bed, make coffee, and write for an hour before going to the fields. Fill up a legal pad, stick it in a drawer, and get out another. Whatever I wanted to write: short sto-ries, essays, memories, started a couple of novels. Did that for 20 years.

Then Betsy was having coffee one afternoon with the wife of the editor of the local paper, and Virginia

asked where was Bob? Betsy replied that I was of course hunting, that I had showed her in the Bible before we married where it says that all South-ern Christian men must deer hunt between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. To which Vir-ginia lamented, “Oh, I wish Mac did something besides play golf! Everyone else hunts or fishes, and we really need something outdoorsy for the paper.”

And Betsy pulled some legal pads out of a drawer and handed them to her, saying, “See if you like these stories. Bob wrote them.”

They didn’t even tell me!Anyhoo, within 10 months I

had enough feedback to think I had a shot at book publish-ing, and my first, “The Flam-ing Turkey,” was a small press best seller, mainly because we got the crop out early that fall and I hit the road, walking into every little bookstore in every town within 250 miles. After getting an order, I’d walk into the newspaper office to give an interview with a local boy with his first book, then offer the paper a dozen columns, free, from those stories on the legal pads in the drawer.

“If your readers like them, I’ll bill you after the first of the year for next year’s weekly

columns,” I’d tell them.Sixty-six papers paid me

for “The Brownspur Bugle” column in January 1987, but I started it with freebies in October 1986, 25 years ago this month.

A few years later, Mercury Syndications picked me up and took “Bugle” nationwide with over 100 papers. Sadly, a decade later, Mercury went broke, but I self-syndicated with several dozen Southern papers who continued to pay faithfully and I have never missed a deadline, usually staying a week ahead.

I decided early on that I’d just write the country-living outdoorsy feel-good stuff, the warm and fuzzy. There are enough writers doing the nasty whiney stuff. My only aim has been that the reader feels better post-Neill than pre-Neill.

The one thing that I laid out to my papers was, “Look, we are called The Bible Belt down heah. I ain’t selling my brand of religion, but God is a friend of mine, so if it bothers you for me to occasionally mention God or Jesus, let’s walk away from this right now.”

Not one editor disageed. Some now ask for prayers.

All you readers, editors, and publishers have been won-derful to me for these past 25 years. Thank you for all the feedback and your friendship, the opportunities to speak, all the book and CD sales. You’ve been a teetotal Blessing!

could be the last one for me. I had no idea what I’d do today, because I was in a lot better shape earlier this year.”

Eclecius Franklin, a 15-year-old runner from Murrah High School in Jack-son, was third overall in 30:51 and Collin Johnson, 36, of Terry was fourth in 31:16. Brian Gilbert of Hattiesburg rounded out the top five and Shannon Carson of Pearl was second in the women’s race.

Steve Sullivan, 56, of Vicks-burg won the 5-mile walk for the first time.

“I haven’t done this in a long time,” Sullivan said. “Over the last 11 years of the race, I’ve been in the run six or seven times, but it’s the first time for the walk. It’s pretty simple, straight out and straight back.”

Elizabeth Joyner of Vicks-burg won the Run Thru His-tory women’s walk in March. On Saturday she added a first-place trophy from the Over the River Run.

“This is my first win in this race,” Joyner said. “I felt my time (56:02) was slow.”

Charlie Thornton, 10, of Brandon won the one-mile fun run. Margaret Case, 12, of Cloudland, Ga. was the girls’ fun run winner.

Race director Annette Kirk-lin said the sunny weather played a big part in deliver-ing a record crowd.

“This was the biggest turn-out since we took over the race,” Kirklin said. “The weather was a big help, but the race itself is gaining in popularity.”

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Al Davis was a rebel with a cause — “Just win, baby” he exhorted his beloved Oakland Raiders.

And as the NFL well knows, he was also a rebel with a subpoena.

Davis, who bucked league authority time and again and won three Super Bowl titles during his half-century in pro-fessional football, died Satur-day. He was 82.

The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Davis was one of the most important figures in pro foot-ball history from his role in the development of the AFL, the merger with the NFL and the success he built on the field with the Raiders.

“Al Davis’s passion for foot-ball and his influence on the game were extraordinary,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL.”

Davis was also a litigious gadfly. That was most evi-dent during the 1980s when he went to court — and won — for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Ange-

les. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.

Before that, though, he was a pivotal figure in hastening the merger between the AFL — where he served as commis-sioner — and the more estab-lished NFL. Davis was not initially in favor of a merger, but his aggressive pursuit of NFL players for his fledgling league and team helped bring

about the eventual 1970 combi-nation of the two leagues into what is now the most popular sport in the country.

“Al Davis was a good man, and we were friendly rivals,” Steelers chairman emeritus Dan Rooney said in a state-ment released by the Steel-ers. “He was a football man and did a lot for the game of football. I had a lot of respect for him, and he will be missed throughout the entire NFL.”

Elected in 1992 to the Pro

Football Hall of Fame, Davis was a trailblazer during his half-century in profes-sional football. He hired the first black head coach of the modern era — Art Shell in 1988. He hired the first Latino coach, Tom Flores; and the first woman CEO, Amy Trask. And he was infallibly loyal to his players and officials: to be a Raider was to be a Raider for life.

Coach Hue Jackson told the team of Davis’ death at a meeting in Houston on Sat-urday morning. Fans dressed in Raiders jerseys, mean-while, quickly made their way to team headquarters in Alameda, where a black flag with the team logo flew at half-staff and a makeshift memorial formed at the base of the flag pole.

Davis is survived by his wife, Carol, and son Mark, who Davis had said would run the team after his death.

“Definitely shocking news for us,” Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell said. “We got here last night and then you wake up this morning and hear we lost our owner, the man who built this team for many, many years, it’s tough to take in as a team. We under-stand what he meant to this organization. He loved his players, and that didn’t matter if you were here now, or if you played for him 30 years ago. He still loved all his players.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton is learning how much he hates losing. He doesn’t like it, either.

Carolina’s rookie quarter-back sat stewing in front of his locker at Soldier Field fol-lowing last Sunday’s 34-29 loss to Chicago. When a team-mate tried to approach him to offer encouragement, Newton shrugged him off and went back to his slow burn.

The Panthers (1-3) have fallen short in three of their first four games, leaving Newton and many of his teammates aggra-vated over their inability to close games out.

When asked if he’s sought help from anyone in dealing with the losing part of the NFL, Newton gave an odd look and said, “I don’t think any-body could. Unless it’s coming from a world-class loser — like ‘Let me tell you how to lose.”’

He won’t be looking for answers from New Orleans today.

Carolina’s three losses have been by seven points or less, and the Panthers will try to turn things around when they go against Drew Brees and the Saints in what could be a high-scoring game.

The Saints (3-1) are second in the league in passing, aver-aging 335 yards per game. The Panthers are right behind, ranked third at 334.8 yards per game.

Brees and Newton, along with four others, are on pace to break Dan Marino’s single-season passing record of 5,084 yards set in 1984.

Newton will face a Saints defense that blitzed more than any team in the league last season under coordinator Gregg Williams.

“It’s a big pressure team and they try to confuse your

offense with so many dif-ferent looks,” Newton said. “It’s probably the most com-plex defense we’ve faced o u t s i d e o f maybe the Packers. They bring it, simple and plain. We just have to stay one step ahead of them.”

The good news for the Pan-thers is Newton has thrived off the blitz. He threw for a franchise-record 432 yards in a loss against Super Bowl cham-pion Green Bay.

He’s accounted for all nine Carolina touchdowns — five passing and four rushing. Along with averaging more than 40 passes a game, Newton has become the team’s pri-mary option on goal-line rush-ing plays and in short-yardage situations.

“One thing he does really well is when he feels pres-sure he kind of steps to it, makes a guy freeze, then he just uses his athleticism there and makes a play,” said Saints safety Roman Harper. “It almost seems like high school or college.”

PEOPLEMichael Jackson’s family pays tribute

Three generations of Michael Jackson’s family — with a few notable absentees — joined an eclectic roster of entertainers Saturday to pay tribute to the King of Pop, a celebration of the late star’s life overshadowed by the Los Angeles manslaughter trial of his doctor.

On a Cardiff, Wales, stage shaped like a giant glove, partici-pants performed songs from across Jackson’s career — from his childhood with the Jackson 5 through monster solo albums like “Thriller” and “Bad.”

Participants urged fans to ignore the criticism and planning glitches that marked preparations for the show in Wales, and to revel in the celebration of Jackson’s musical legacy.

“It’s not about the controversy,” said R&B star Ne-Yo, who kicked off the show with a rendition of “Billie Jean,” complete with some passable moonwalking. “It’s not about the trial. It’s not about his death. It’s about celebrating his life. It’s about cel-ebrating his music.”

The crowd at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium did just that, roar-ing with approval as Jackson’s brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie — three-fifths of the original Jackson 5 — took the stage to per-form “Blame It On the Boogie” with British boyband JLS.

The lineup for the “Michael Forever” show included Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, Jenni-fer Hudson, Cee Lo Green — and, via video, Beyonce.

The concert has divided the King of Pop’s family and followers.

ANd ONE MOrEMan sues in-laws over injury

This Thanksgiving could be a little uncomfortable for one Michigan family after a Detroit-area man hurt in a hunt for a Christmas wreath sued his in-laws.

A Michigan appeals court has overruled a trial court judge and said the lawsuit filed by Christopher Karim should go to a jury.

Karim had left work early to help with Christmas decorations at the West Bloomfield home of his in-laws, Salman and Regina Konja.

He was in the attic looking for a wreath when he stepped on drywall instead of plywood and fell to the garage floor. The ap-peals court’s decision says Karim’s mother-in-law had just said, “No, don’t step there.”

The decision doesn’t describe Karim’s injuries.


Granddaughter too young to withstand harsh criticismDear Abby: My mother

watches my two children before and after school and during the breaks. She is a caring person, but she is also very critical of my daughter. (She’s fine with my son.)

Mom constantly tells my daughter she needs to lose weight or exercise more, or her hair looks stringy, or she isn’t dressed properly. My daughter is only 9.

My mother did this to me when I was younger, and it made me feel I could never live up to her standards. How should I approach her about this? I don’t want my daugh-ter to feel inadequate. She’s a beautiful, intelligent little girl. — Frustrated in Missouri

Dear Frustrated: Deal with this firmly, before your mother erodes your daughter’s self-esteem as she did yours. Tell her how her constant criti-cism made you feel, that you don’t want the same thing to happen to your little girl, and that anytime she’s tempted to make a negative comment, she should substitute a POSITIVE one instead. Be direct with her, and if she isn’t able to comply, make other arrangements for your daughter.

Dear Abby: My siblings have noticed my distant, odd behav-ior toward one of my broth-ers. This sibling and I have

a history of incest. He raped me repeatedly for years, and I want nothing to do with him. When the family gathers, one or the other of us declines the invitation if the other one is going to be present.

I have told one sibling, “We just don’t get along — old stuff, ya’ know!” and left it at that. I want to keep the reason to myself. I feel I might be pushed for a better answer. Shouldn’t “old stuff” be enough of a reason? Should I tell or not? — Should I or Shouldn’t I?

Dear Should I?: A person who repeatedly rapes someone “for years” is a predator. This wasn’t two kids “experiment-ing”; it was sexual assault. How do you know he didn’t prey on other siblings or cous-ins? You should have sought counseling about this years ago, and it’s still not too late. Once you do, I’m sure you’ll find the strength to stand up for yourself and speak out.

Dear Abby: Seven years ago, when I was 25, I quit a good job before I had a new one. Hard

times ultimately led to my hus-band and me divorcing. I went back to school and am now starting a new career. But I can’t help but feel that if I had not quit my job years back, I’d be established in a career by now and still be married.

I never listened to anyone back then, although I was polite and quiet. I have grown from the experience, but my heart aches for what I lost. I don’t drink or do drugs, so there is no numbing this pain. How do I get over my regrets and heal? — Looking Back in Illinois

Dear Looking Back: You can’t change the past. You can only concentrate on and build

a future. Do that by making a conscious effort to STAY IN THE PRESENT.

When you feel yourself slip-ping backward and reliv-ing the pain, pull yourself into the here and now. Then thank your higher power for your health, your job, and the chance to rebuild your emo-tional and financial future. Regret is the cancer of life. Dwell on it, and it will keep you from progressing.

DEAR ABBY

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Roger Williams, the virtuoso pianist who topped the Bill-board pop chart in the 1950s and played for nine U.S. pres-idents during a long career, died Saturday. He was 87.

Williams died at his home in Los Angeles of complica-tions from pancreatic cancer, according to his former publi-cist Rob Wilcox.

Known as an electrifying stage performer and an adept improviser, Williams effort-lessly switched between musi-cal styles.

“Roger was one of the great-est pianists in the world and could play anything to classi-cal music to jazz. He was one of the greatest personalities I’ve ever known,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, a long-time friend of Williams and himself a musician. “He could touch any audience, from teen-agers to senior citizens.”

Williams’ 1955 hit “Autumn Leaves” was the only piano instrumental to reach No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts. It remains the best-selling piano record of all time, with more than 2 million sold.

Nicknamed the “pianist to the presidents,” Williams played for every commander in chief from Harry Truman to George H.W. Bush. His last trip to the White House was in 2008, when he performed at a luncheon for then-First Lady Laura Bush.

Williams was good friends with Jimmy Carter, with whom he shared a birthday. When the two men turned 80, Williams played a 12-hour marathon at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta, with the former president in attendance.

Born Louis Wertz in Nebraska, he started play-ing piano at age 3. By age 9 he was prolific with several instruments and could play anything by ear.

“I had a piano teacher grow-ing up who would never play a song for me, she would make me play it from sheet music so I could learn to read music,”

Williams said, according to biographical information of the musician provided by Wilcox.

As a teenager, he was given his own 15-minute radio show on KRNT-AM, which was broadcast live from a Des Moines, Iowa, department store. Later he hosted a pro-gram on WHO-AM, where he first met the station’s young sports announcer, Ronald “Dutch” Reagan. The two men started a friendship which lasted over 60 years.

Williams moved to New York to study jazz at the Juil-liard School of Music. He won performing contests on the popular radio shows “Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts” and Dennis James’ “Chance of a Lifetime.”

Soon after, Williams was signed to Kapp Records, where founder Dave Kapp

was determined to find a hit for the young prodigy. Produc-ers decided on a shortened arrangement of “Autumn Leaves,” which Williams recalled first clocked in at three minutes and three seconds.

“In those days the disc jock-eys would not play a record over three minutes long. So Kapp asked if I could play the thirds a little faster. I did and it came in at two minutes and 59 seconds,” Williams said, according to Wilcox.

It was an instant hit and cat-apulted Williams to national renown. He followed it up with a string of hits including “Born Free,” “The Impossible Dream,” “Theme From Some-where In Time,” and “Lara’s Theme from Dr. Zhivago.”

Williams became a popular guest on the top television shows of the time including

“The Ed Sullivan Show,” “The Perry Como Show, and “The Steve Allen Show.”

He is the first pianist to be honored with a star on the Hol-lywood Walk of Fame. He also received the Lifetime Achieve-ment Award from Steinway & Sons.

On his 75th birthday, Wil-liams played a 12-hour mara-thon at Steinway Hall in New York City, a stunt he repeated several time in the following years.

I n M a r c h , Wi l l i a m s announced on his website that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A few days later he played his last concert, in Palm Desert, California.

Williams is survived by his daughters, Laura Fisher and Alice Jung, and five grandchildren.

Funeral services are pending.

The Warren County-Vicks-burg Public Library reports on new books regularly.

• “Undis -puted” by Chris Jericho tells how he became the world cham-pion in 1,372 easy steps. Jericho takes us from Chi-cago to Tokyo, New Delhi to Kuala Lumpur, Winnipeg to Madison Square Garden, as he details his clas-sic rivalries with The Rock, Steve Austin, HHH, Shawn Michaels and John Cena, along with all the politics and backstage machinations he faced outside the ring. He also describes his unique relation-ship with Vince McMahon and the long road they traveled to find respect for each other. But it was only after Jericho became the first Undisputed World champion in the his-tory of the wrestling business that he became disenchanted with the WWE and decided to walk away after 15 years to further his other lifelong dream of being a rock star. His band, Fozzy, proceeded to tour the world playing everywhere from the smallest sports bars in Pennsylvania to the biggest festivals in England. All the while experiencing the same kinds of glorifying highs and embarrassing lows he faced while building his wrestling career a decade earlier.

• “Revelations” by Mason Betha is his story. Mason “Mase” Betha’s meteoric rise to fame is one of rap’s great success stories. But just as he was posed to sign a multimil-lion-dollar deal with Bad Boy, Mase walked away. He is now a pastor, life-changing inspi-rational speaker, and founder of a nondenominational move-ment called S.A.N.E. (Saving a Nation Endangered) Minis-tries. Having turned his back on superstardom, he reveals in this fascinating memoir the

rhyme and reason behind his choice to leave a glamorous life of extraordinary wealth and influence to become a pastor with a powerful mes-sage for America’s youth.

• “Untied” by Meredith Baxter is her m e m o i r o f family, fame, and flounder-ing. Meredith Baxter is a beloved and iconic televi-sion actress. Her warmth, humor and bril-liant smile made her one of the most popular women on television, with millions of viewers following her on the small screen each week. Yet her success masked a tumul-tuous personal story and a harrowing private life. For the first time, Baxter is ready to share her incredible highs (working with Robert Red-ford, Doris Day, Lana Turner, and the cast of Family Ties) and lows (a thorny relation-ship with her mother, a dif-ficult marriage to David Birney, and a bout with breast cancer), finally revealing the women behind the image.

• “ R o s e -annearchy” by Roseanne Barr offers dis-patches from the nut farm. Barr is a force o f n atu r e . Whether taking the sitcom world by storm, challenging accepted social norms or bat-tling the wild pigs inhabit-ing her nut farm in Hawaii, she is not to be trifled with. In this return to the printed page, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris and self-per-petuating institutions of ques-tionable value — as well as menopause, pharmaceuticals and her grandkids. And she’s as controversial, original and

funny as ever.• “Every Day by the Sun”

by Dean Faulkner Wells is a memoir of the Faulkners of Mississippi. Their legacy includes pioneers, noble and ignoble, war veterans, three never-convicted murderers, the builder of the first rail-road in north Mississippi, the founding president of a bank, an FBI agent, four pilots (all brothers) and a Nobel Prize winner. She also reveals won-derfully entertaining and inti-mate stories and anecdotes about her family — in par-ticular her uncle William, or “Pappy,” with whom she shared colorful, sometimes utterly frank, sometimes whimsical conversations and experiences.

• “Ice” by Ice-T and Douglas Century is a memoir of gang-ster life and redemption — from South Central to Holly-wood. Told in his own words, Ice is raw, uncensored, and unafraid to speak his mind. He tells it like it is about his orphan upbringing on the gang-infested streets of South Central Los Angeles; about his four-year stint in the U.S. Army’s famed “Tropic Light-ning” outfit; about his suc-cessful career as a hustler and thief; the car crash that nearly killed him; and his fateful decision to turn away from a life of crime and forge his own path to international entertainment stardom.

• “In the B l i n k o f an Eye” by Michael Wal-trip discusses Dale, Daytona and the day that changed everything. There was one lap to go in the 2001 Daytona 500, NASCAR’s most celebrated event. Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were run-ning one-two. Dale Junior’s legendary dad, the driver race fans called “The Intimi-

dator,” was close behind in third, blocking anyone who might try to pass. Waltrip couldn’t stop thinking about all the times he’s struggled to stay ahead — and the 462 NASCAR Cup races he’d com-peted in without a single win. He’s been a race car driver all his adult life, following in the footsteps of his brother Dar-rell, a three-time NASCAR champion. And his losing streak was getting more pain-ful with every race. But this day, he knew could be differ-ent. He was driving for Dale Earnhardt now, racing as a team with his close friend and mentor. Yet as his car roared toward the finish line, ending that losing streak once and for all, Waltrip had no clue that the greatest triumph of his life would get mired in ter-rible tragedy.

• “Born Wild” by Tony Fitzjohn is the extraordinary story of one man’s passion for Africa. Tony Fitzjohn, part missionary, part madman, has been called “one of the world’s most endangered creatures.” An internationally renowned field expert on African wild-life, he is best known for the 18 years he spent helping Born Free’s George Adam-son return more than 40 leop-ards and lions — including the celebrated Christian — to the wild in central Kenya. A notoriously rowdy person given to scrapes with bandits, evil policeman, and wicked politicians, who has been shot at by poachers and chewed up by lions, Fitzjohn is also a wonderful raconteur. She-nanigans aside, he belongs to that rare species of humans who have sought refuge and meaning in a life truly dedi-cated to the restoration of the animal kingdom.

Next fOr KNOxExchange student in murder case wantsto take time in mulling how to tell storyBy Gene JohnsonTheAssociated Press

SEATTLE — Advised to “go dark” as she reconnects with family and freedom, Amanda Knox wants to take her time before deciding how to tell her story.

There will be no shortage of offers, which were already coming in last week.

The former American exchange student could get a book deal that easily reaches seven figures — and help pay back her family the money they spent to overturn her murder conviction in the death of her roommate in Italy. Speaking fees could earn her $50,000. Plus there are the movie rights.

And with all the money comes the chance to counter the lingering suspicion of some people around the world that she might have had something to do with Meredith Kerch-er’s death. It was a sentiment expressed Wednesday by an Italian judge who voted to over-turn her conviction.

Her supporters, naturally, feel differently.

“The importance of her telling her story is to give a picture of hope to people, but also to cor-rect the misperceptions of her, the mischaracterizations of her, of who she is as a person,” said Dave Marriott, a publicist hired by the family in 2007.

“For her to tell her story will help people understand what a wonderful young woman she is,” Marriott said. “She has a very heartfelt story to tell.”

And that story so far has been fodder for the tabloids. In Europe, she was dubbed “Foxy Knoxy.” In the U.S., she became a cause celebre. In the countless hours of TV footage and hundreds of stories, there’s a lot of material that she will need to counter.

Knox, 24, returned to her hometown of Seattle Tuesday, a

day after a court freed her and her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito.

She had been in custody since 2007, when the couple and another man were accused of killing Kercher, her British roommate, as part of a bizarre sex game. Her conviction was overturned after an indepen-dent review discredited DNA evidence presented in her first trial.

Despite that and what some saw as a far-fetched theory by prosecutors, suspicions remain in some quarters about how much she knew about the crime. Hundreds of young Ital-ians jeered the acquittals out-side the courtroom, yelling “Shame! Shame!”

And on Wednesday night, one of judges who served on

the appeals court jury, Clau-dio Pratillo Hellmann, stressed on state TV that the acquittals “resulted from the truth that was created in the trial.”

“But the real truth could be different,” he added. “They could also be responsible, but the proof isn’t there.”

Questions remained about some of Knox’s behavior after her arrest. She reportedly turned cartwheels and did splits as she waited for police questioning. Investigators said she sat on Sollecito’s lap, making faces and kissing him.

Knox confessed to having been at the apartment, cov-ering her ears to drown out Kercher’s screams, and later changed her story to say she was at Sollecito’s apartment.


Amanda Knox speaks at a news conference shortly after her arrival at Seattle-tacoma International Airport.

New iPhone to tote better camera, processorBy The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Apple unveiled a new iPhone Tues-day, but it is not the iPhone 5 some were expecting. Instead, it’s a more modest upgrade, the iPhone 4S. Here are some facts to help you decide if it’s time to make the plunge.

The unveiling came a day before the death of Apple co-creator Steve Jobs, 56, Wednesday. The phone will make its debut in stores Friday.

• If you own an iPhone 4: The new phone will have a faster processor and a sharper, more responsive camera. Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same. It will come with improved soft-ware, but you’ll get that as a

free update on your iPhone 4, too.

As an iPhone 4 owner, you should consider the 4S only

if you absolutely must have the latest and greatest, or if your old phone is broken. Since the 4S is less than two

years old, your carrier will probably make you pay more than the $199 base price if you upgrade, because you haven’t “paid off” the subsi-dized price of your old phone yet.

There’s speculation that the more significant iPhone 5 upgrade might be less than a year away, and it could add important new features that are worth waiting for.

• If you own an older iPhone: Apple’s new soft-ware, iOS 5, will work on the iPhone 3GS, but not the origi-nal iPhone or 3G. Take the launch of the iPhone 4S as a good opportunity to upgrade to a faster, more respon-sive phone, with a sharper screen.

The big cost of owning an iPhone isn’t in the purchase

price, it’s in your monthly service fees. Upgrading your phone every two years is a minor cost compared to paying your monthly bill over the same period. So take advantage of your carrier’s phone subsidy and let it treat you to a new iPhone. Because Apple charges about $600 for a phone that costs $199 in the store, it’s the phone company that eats most of the upfront cost of the phone.

• If you don’t have a smart-phone: iPhones are still the kings of the smartphone world, with unsurpassed access to high-quality appli-cations. But they’re also expensive. That might not be immediately obvious in the cell phone store, where

“Extremely blessed” is how Karen Buehler says she feels after having worked 33 years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers Mississippi Valley Division.

Buehler, 55, retired Sept. 30 from the public affairs office of the MVD and was awarded the Steel Order of the de Fleury Medal, an honor given to junior sol-diers and civilians within the U.S. Army Engineer Association.

“That was the highest point of recognition of my federal career,” said Bue-hler. “It was very hard to leave because it was my second home, my second family.”

The honor — a new one among the de Fleury medals that also come in gold, silver and bronze — is the first to be awarded to an employee of the MVD, Bue-hler said.

She was recognized for her 16 years of work with the External Affairs Planning and Response Team. She was a member of the Fed-eral Interagency Exter-nal Affairs Planning and Working Group.

Buehler “was often name-requested by fed-eral partners to represent USACE in interagency crisis response planning and exercises,” said a press release announcing the award.

Buehler, a Biloxi native, has moved to nearby Ocean Springs, where she said she would like to work part time in disas-ter relief for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. She has a daugh-ter and a grandson who live in Columbus.

“I’m looking forward to spending more time with them,” she said.

The de Fleury medals are top honors awarded by the U.S. Army Engi-neer Association. They are named for Francois de Fleur, a French sol-dier who fought with Gen. George Washington during the Revolutionary War.

Remember when your clothes were made in the USA? Kim and Steve Kopp-man do.

The husband-and-wife duo who moved their Grand River Clothing jeans com-pany to Eagle Lake from New Orleans a few years ago have taken the “Made in the USA” label to another level with a line of blue jeans patterned and assembled from waist to cuff in the U.S.

“It’s a big step out because it’s expensive to do it,” Kim Koppman said during

a house party Thursday to launch the company’s Restore the U.S. jeans. “But, it’s a real labor of love to get the American jean made.”

Grand River’s American-made jeans are sized and marketed to men — like its regular line that is made in Madagascar, shipped from a warehouse in Sardis and sold at men’s and big-and-tall stores around the nation. But the pockets and burrs on

the 100 percent U.S.-grown cotton jeans are manufac-tured in Georgia from a pat-

tern designed in Tennessee.

their $199 price tag (or, in the case of the iPhone 3GS, $0 price tag) looks comparable to many other phones. Car-riers require contracts when selling iPhones at that price, and the available plans aren’t cheap, in part because you’ll need a data plan. In effect, you’ll be paying off that expensive phone over two years, through your monthly bill.

If you want a smartphone for less, look at getting a handset that runs Google Inc.’s Android software from a no-contract carrier like Virgin Mobile, MetroPCS or Cricket. You’ll be paying $149 and up for the phone, but the monthly cost will be lower. The biggest weakness of Android phones is that there are fewer good third-party applications available for them, but you’ll get roughly 80 percent of the functional-ity of an iPhone for 50 per-cent of the cost.

• If you’re a Sprint sub-scriber: If you’ve nursed a longing for an iPhone but

haven’t yet moved over to AT&T or Verizon, now’s your chance ... probably. Sprint hasn’t yet said what kind of plans will be available for the iPhone. It’s also not clear if Sprint will sell only the 4S or also the cheaper 4.

But it’s a fair bet that Sprint will keep its unlimited data plans as a way to lure sub-scribers from Verizon and AT&T, which cap monthly data usage on smartphones.

It’s worth noting that the iPhone won’t support “Sprint 4G,” which is what Sprint calls Clearwire Corp.’s high-speed data network. Sprint sells a number of other smartphones that can access this network for faster Web browsing, downloads and uploads, for no additional cost.

On the other hand, the Sprint iPhone 4S will most likely be able to roam inter-nationally, a very rare fea-ture on Sprint smartphones.

• If you’re an AT&T sub-scriber: The Big Orange was the first carrier to place

caps on the monthly data consumption of its iPhone subscribers, to keep them from overloading its net-work. The addition of Sprint to the stable of iPhone car-riers will probably give you the option to jump ship and get an unlimited data plan, but Sprint hasn’t confirmed this yet.

On the other hand, Sprint’s data speeds are lower than AT&T’s, and it doesn’t have the network of Wi-Fi hotspots that AT&T does.

AT&T will still be the only U.S. carrier to sell the iPhone 3GS, a two-year old model. The price will be cut to noth-ing, from $49. But AT&T still won’t sell the phone for use on prepaid plans, which could yield substantial savings.

• If you’re a Verizon sub-scriber: One thing that’s missing from the iPhone 4S is the ability to tap into Veri-zon’s latest high-speed data networks, which uses the so-called “LTE” technology. That feature might arrive in

the next iPhone, which pre-sumably will be the iPhone 5. There’s speculation that we might not have to wait until next summer to see that model.

Apple is usually conserva-tive about adding new wire-less technology to its phones, but Verizon has been selling LTE phones for half a year already.

Vicksburg’s five casinos pay a 3.2 percent revenue tax to the State of Mississippi that is divided — with 10 percent going to schools, 25 percent to Warren County and 65 percent to the city. A second revenue tax is a 0.8 percent share of the state’s 8.8 percent revenue

tax. It is split based on population proportions between Vicksburg and Warren County. Each casino is also required to pay $150 for each gaming device annually to the city. To date, two casinos have paid the gaming device fee. These are the latest receipts:

“We feel sincerely there’s a surge of patriotism about garments made in the United States,” Steve Kopp-man said, adding it will be the first jeans made from denim grown and woven in the U.S. that will sell for less than $100.

The line offers a boot-cut style tailored for work, a relaxed fit or traditional tapered leg. Sizes range from 32 to 60, and inseams from 28 to 38. The line is being offered at Will-

ingham’s on Washington Street — the first place to take orders, Kim Koppman said — where they’ll sell for about $55 a pair to build interest locally. She said the jeans will retail for about five times that amount at outlets away from Vicks-burg. Orders should take about six to eight weeks.

“It takes a while to get it going,” she said. “But we do one thing — and we really do it well. It’ll be a far supe-rior product.”

SCHC’s Classics in the Courtyardkicks off fourth year Friday

By Terri Cowart [email protected]

The Southern Cultural Heri-tage Center’s fall outdoor con-cert series is back for a fourth year.

The program kicks off Friday with Celtic folk music by Nick and Julia Blake and food by Southern Sisters Cafe.

“It’s very laid back,” said Maggie Nasif, who attended

last year. “People sit at picnic tables or on blankets. There are young mothers with chil-dren and grandparents with grandchildren.” And the food is good, too, she said.

“There is absolutely noth-ing I don’t like about it,” said attendee Dee Hyland. “I think it is a wonderful idea, and it’s so much fun to see people and listen to the music. There aren’t enough adjectives to

describe how much I enjoy going.”

So far, 35 people have signed up for Friday’s concert, said SCHC executive director Annette Kirklin, at which “we will be making a big, surprise announcement.”

Last year, attendance for all four concerts was around 800, she said. Participants may listen to the concerts for free, but lunch is $9.

If you goThe fourth annual classics

in the courtyard will kick off Friday and run weekly through Nov. 4. Entertain-ment is free, but lunch is $9 and requires a reservation by 5 p.m. Thursdays. Call 601-631-2997. For more information, e-mail [email protected], or visit www.southernculture.org or Facebook.

The Attic Gallery, Lesley Silver’s business at Wash-ington and Grove streets, will mark its 40th anniver-sary Friday.

A celebration will be from 7 to 9 p.m.

Forty artists’ works will be on display at the home

of Silver and her husband, Daniel Boone, on the third floor of the gallery. The first floor houses the Highway 61 Coffeehouse; the second, the Attic Gallery.

“To give a theme to the show,” Silver said, “ the art-ists were assigned a number

from one to 40.”Each will bring an original

piece focusing on the chosen numbers.

Admission is free. For more information, call 601-638-9221.

Silver, friends to mark gallery’s 40th

It was art on parade.Or, more aptly said,

art on the move.And it was a sight

never before seen on the streets of Vicks-burg, something that really did stop traffic as about 75 people bear-ing various works of art began moving contents of the Attic Gallery three blocks to a new location in a 19th century building at Washington and Grove.

Leading the throng was the late Rev. David Chris-tian, an Episcopal minis-ter, and beside him was Lesley Silver, proprietor of the gallery. Crossing the street, they ascended to the second floor.

It was the summer sol-stice, the longest and pos-sibly the hottest day of the year. The next day, friends returned with pickups and moved everything. On Monday morning, Lesley Silver opened for business in the new location.

That was 15 years ago when the Attic Gal-lery was 25. Now it’s 40, the oldest art gallery in Mississippi.

It’s time for a celebration.

•

There’s “a lot” of every-thing” in the build-ing, Lesley said, but she never had a vision, never thought of owning a gal-lery. That changed in 1971 when she and husband Mike Silver were on a trip to California and wanted to buy a piece of art for friends back home. Lesley wanted “something that lasts, something that means something.”

They found a shop that had the right feeling, and they were soon engrossed in conversation with the owner. They ended the evening as guests in her home, then at dinner. When she found that Mike ran a jewelry store and a bridal shop, the conver-sation turned to wedding gifts.

Californians, she said, often gave money for art for brides rather than

Tupelo singer Wood to release new albumTUPELO (AP) — Jake

Wood’s music is uplifting, and he should know. All of his songs were written to get him out of his own slump.

“I wrote (the songs) at a very low point in my life. I was really lost,” he said. “The phrase someday soon kept popping into my mind. Some-day soon, everything’s gonna

be all right. It’s all I would do to make myself feel better.”

“Someday Soon” came out of those feelings, and soon came the other songs that would make up his debut album, Live Life.

Wood, 25, from Tupelo, has released an EP and spent the past several years performing in the area, but he said Live

Life feels like the true start of his music career.

“It’s exciting. It’s me, it’s Jake Wood. Every artist has a beginning, and for me, this is it,” he said.

Wood ‘s influences are singer-songwriters like Neil Young, Tom Petty and Bob Seger, but he also loves punk bands like The Clash. His

music is more acoustic singer-songwriter than punk, but if he is punk, he’s the happiest punk on the planet.

“I really like the old Latin phrase, Carpe diem, seize the day,” he said, and he found his album title in that.

Fleetwood celebrates musical legacy, eatery By Sandy CohenAP entertainment writer

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Long before the success of Fleetwood Mac, when band founder Mick Fleetwood was a kid in the U.K. learning how to play the drums, he dreamed of having his own restaurant. His parents entrusted the then 9-year-old with the stable of the old farmhouse they lived in, and young Fleetwood turned it into something of a children’s speakeasy that he called Club Keller. Instead of booze, he poured Coca-Cola.

“I used to serve up Smith’s crisps and fish and chips and stuff for other children to come round,” the bearded rocker recalled during a recent inter-view, his eyes twinkling at the memory. “I had my radiogram and my drums in there and it was my world.”

Now, 5 1/2 decades later, Fleetwood is creating a new world for himself and his music: He’s opening a restau-rant in his adopted hometown of Lahaina on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

Fleetwood’s on Front St. is set to open early next year, and its namesake sees it as the next professional chap-ter in his life: A place where he can indulge his taste for

fine food and drink (including his own Mick Fleetwood Pri-vate Cellar wines), perform with his friends and run the whole show. He plans to show-case local musicians and art-ists and invite the occasional famous rock star. The new establishment is essentially a

large-scale, souped-up version of his old Club Keller.

“I’ve always wanted to do this,” Fleetwood said on a visit to his manager’s office in Beverly Hills. “I’m like one of those weird Chinese creatures where you see something 30 years ahead. It’s petrifying

and exciting and fulfilling, because... if you keep focused, and it’s a corny thing, but if you visualize and visualize and visualize, a lot of stuff really does come to you.”

Developing the restaurant is dominating Fleetwood’s time. He helped choose the site (a historic building dating back to 1916 — the year his mother was born), select the décor and create the menu, but he insists “it’s not a shrine to Mick Fleetwood.”

“You’ll know that it’s my place but it will be very taste-fully done,” the 64-year-old said. “It’s not a museum for Mick Fleetwood. This is a real working restaurant.”

“All of this is a responsibil-ity to do it properly, and self-ishly a responsibility to some-thing that’s very precious to me, which is everything I’ve done with Fleetwood Mac and my partners and the music,” he said.

The restaurant has taken him away from music a bit, and he expects that to con-tinue, but that’s fine with him: “Now I will have a place to play when I want to or need to.”

Besides Fleetwood Mac, the musician has two other bands, the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band and Mick Fleetwood’s Island Rumours Band.

Miss Beard announces plansto marry Mr. Hall Dec. 10

Mr. and Mrs. David Michael Beard of Vicksburg announce the engagement of their daughter, Candis Marie Beard, to Christopher Robert Allen Hall, of Brandon. Mr. Hall is the son of Mrs. Ladora Hall of Brandon and the late Mr. Wil-liam Elliott “Billy” Hall.

Miss Beard is the grand-daughter of Mrs. Shirley Doyle of Vicksburg, Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Harris of Waynesboro, Miss., and Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Beard of Cuthbert, Ga.

Mr. Hall is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Ray Hall of Brandon, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Parker of Camden, Miss., and Ms. Doris Parker of Brandon.

The bride-elect is a 2002 honor graduate of Warren Cen-tral High School. She attended Meridan Junior College where she received an Associate of Arts degree, Mississippi State

University where she received a Bachelor’s of Science degree and Hinds Community Col-lege where she received an Associate of Applied Science degree.

Miss Beard is employed in the Radiography Technology department of River Region Heatlh Systems and Baptist Medical Center.

The prospective groom is a 2002 honor graduate of North-west Rankin High School. He received a Bachelor’s of Sci-ence degree from Mississippi State University.

Mr. Hall is a regional manager for Reed Food Technologies.

The wedding will be at 6 p.m. Dec. 10, 2011, at Highland Bap-tist Church in Vicksburg. A reception will follow at Vicks-burg Convention Center.

silver or china. If the Silvers were ever interested in some-thing like that, just let her know. A question provoked some thought: Where was the nearest art gallery to Vicksburg? In New Orleans.

On the way home from the Jackson airport, Mike had the idea of sending the lady $500 and she would send them selections of art to sell.

“Sounds great to me,” Lesley concurred.

On June 8, 1971, while she was having a birthday party for her 5-year-old, a box filled with art arrived. Mothers of the children at the party were excited. Most items sold for $25, the most expensive being $40, and to Lesley it was amazing “because I was making 20 percent off of $15.”

They placed a second order, putting the items in their house, “but what eventu-ally happened was we got too much stuff for our living room. We ran out of chairs, out of floor space, and one day Mike said, ‘Whv don’t you go to Versil’s (a gift and bridal shop) and up those stairs that nobody ever went up.”

With flashlight in hand, she explored the cluttered second floor. Friends came to her aid, cleaning and fixing it, and the gallery she never thought of “just happened. It was a natu-ral,” and so was the name. The Attic Gallery opened on Oct. 6, 1971.

Good things she didn’t plan or never thought of seem to happen to Lesley. That’s how she got to Vicksburg.

She was a college student at the University of Alabama when she met and married Mike Silver who promised, “We’ll never live in Vicks-burg. So I married him.”

And with a smile, she added, “Now you notice Mike isn’t here, but I am,” as they divorced years ago.

Why they came here has been pretty much a secret until now. Mike’s father owned a jewelry store, and in October 1963 his help quit — just before the Christ-mas season. Mike’s mother called: Could he come home for a while to help his dad? And, by the way, Mr. Silver was never, never to know the

behind-the-scenes maneuver-ing. And he never did.

So they came to Vicks-burg. The months passed. Christmas was over — “Had been for a while. I guess you sort of fall into a rhythm of living,” so they built a house in Marion Park and in later years moved into one on Cherry Street.

Lesley was born in New York and lived there as a child, then at age 6 “my par-ents put me in the car and drove south. That’s how we ended up in Birmingham.” They moved so her father could help his father “who was opening a furrier busi-ness in the South. I think you know the end of that story.”

Her mother was a working artist, her aunt a sculptor and her grandfather painted. You don’t have to get into DNA to see why Lesley believes, “You’ re born with some of the love of art...I think there’s a propensity or something that ends up in you and maybe goes down into your very being, because I feel you need art to breathe.”

She also believes that, if one exposes himself to art and the variety of art, that under-standing and desire can be developed, can be changed, can be expanded beyond a narrow view.

When Lesley was about 8 or 9, her mother, Klara Koock, set up a still life and supplied some oil paints because “they were the thing. I think I was born before acrylics were invented.”

Lesley remembers that the still life included bananas and, “as the days progressed, so did the bananas. I remem-ber that distinctly. They got to the pudding stage.” She sat and looked out the window at other children playing and yearned to go out, but “Mother told me I had to finish this because you know you start and you end some-thing. I haven’t learned that yet. I start and I start and I restart....”

She did finish the painting, but claims “I was a disas-ter with oils.” After that, she turned to pencil draw-ings in the privacy of her room, never showing them to anyone.

Her mother was very good, Lesley said, “so I avoided art as much as I could,” but in college she decided to tackle Art 101. She had a terrible instructor who “put his chin into his palm and stared out the window, put on some music and left the room.” He did set up some still-lifes and when she took a painting home her grandfather took one look and said, “It’s ter-rible.” And he was right, she said. Then she tried again, taking a class from Mal-colm Norwood, an excellent instructor who later chaired the department at Delta State.

She didn’t continue her studies because she got married.

Lesley reconnected with art in 1978 when she was given a camera, an item she loved and took everywhere. “It was my entry into art,” she said of the 35 mm. “It became a part of me. You use a camera to see things and to give people a gift of seeing what you’re seeing.”

A real break in the learn-ing process came in 1984 when she went to Penland School in North Carolina, and she said, “It changed me. It altered the way I looked at photography.” She saw photography in a different light, often as others viewed things, and she spent a lot of time in the darkroom experi-menting, “not knowing that other people way ahead of you have done it in a superb and successful manner.” She began playing with photogra-

phy, hand-coloring it, block-ing out areas with rubber cement, spray-painting.

“If you don’t have an art background,” she said, “you’re given permission to do anything because you don’t know what is right and what is wrong. She loved mixed media, and her work always told stories — “little microcosms of life.” She printed a lot because, “Who would want to sleep when you have a dark room?”

She doesn’t do colorful things, she said. “I’m pretty drab, but I like to punch things up with colors. Now that I’m older I’m allowed to start liking red some, but I wasn’t a red fan when I was younger. I found out that I’m not a blue person. I tend to gravitate toward the drab, the olive greens.... I’m always telling stories and letting my art lead me. It might start with something, and I think I’m going some place, but it may lead somewhere else.” She doesn’t do light or flow-ers and finds people the most difficult.

If you wait until the mood strikes you before you start painting, Lesley said, “You’re copping out. Life is so lim-ited,” so one should utilize each moment.

She isn’t one to judge anoth-er’s art, and the gallery pro-vides a place for artists to display their works and also a place for the public to buy original, local art. The clien-tele isn’t just local — they come from as far away as Seattle. The Attic Gallery has

been featured in publications from as distant as The Neth-erlands, Germany and Japan.

•By actual count or in a ball-

park guess, how many artists does Lesley think have been featured in the gallery?

“How about neither?” she said. “I haven’t a clue. I never refuse to look at people’s art. We are accessible. I will show it and promote it if I possibly can.” She especially enjoys connecting with young artists and giving them an opportu-nity to really look at art.

She’s won honors for her art including Best in Show and has been invited to show in several very selective juried events, but her special shows have been a mother-daugh-ter one in Biloxi and then one with her daughter and her mother.

There have been many theme shows at the Attic Gal-lery, but an upcoming event is the first since she and hus-

band Daniel Boone moved into the top floor of the build-ing. Forty artists have been invited to exhibit one paint-ing eachm and the public is invited.

For Lesley Silver, “Art is something that makes me feel. It activates the emo-tions....It just changes me.”

•There’s a large octagonal

table in the Attic Gallery on which some art is displayed but also where friends sit and visit, enjoying conver-sation and coffee. The table came from the original gal-lery where it served the same purpose, helping to pro-vide a comforting, nurturing atmosphere.

The move wasn’t just a physical one, for the spirit of the Attic Gallery continues.

•Gordon Cotton is an author and historian who lives in Vicksburg.

FOCuS On the Future

Snapshot of an icon’s fall is seen in Kodak’s financial troublesROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) —

Buffeted by fierce foreign com-petition, then blindsided by a digital revolution, photography icon Eastman Kodak Co. is tee-tering on a financial precipice after a quarter-century of failed efforts to find its focus.

The 131-year-old company that turned picture-taking into a hobby for the masses and became singularly synony-mous with capturing memories has tried to bat down sudden talk of bankruptcy. But concern about its grim prospects has hit fever pitch after it enlisted a legal adviser to explore ways to revive its sagging fortunes.

The collapse of such a leg-endary brand would not only reverberate through American business, but would also have a profound cultural effect on gen-erations worldwide who took their first snapshots with film cameras bearing the unmistak-able yellow-and-red K logo.

“You could look up and see that yellow sign all over the world — no matter where you went, people depended on that for their memory-recording,” said photography writer John Larish, who worked for Kodak in the 1980s as a senior market-intelligence analyst.

“With the advent of digital or even cell-phone cameras, Kodak wasn’t in the game,” he said. “I see the company now as something we will write about in history books.”

Already jittery sharehold-ers were rattled Sept. 30 when word leaked out that Kodak has hired Jones Day, a law firm that dispenses advice on bankrupt-cies and other restructuring options. Its stock, which topped $94 in 1997, skidded to an all-time low of 78 cents a share.

After markets closed, Kodak insisted in a statement that it had no intention of filing for bankruptcy protection and described Jones Day as one of several advisers helping its management close out a stum-bling, decade-long drive to

recast itself as a digital pho-tography and printing power-house. Its stock rebounded this week to $1.12.

But investor alarm about whether it has the financial wherewithal to complete its turnaround is raising the seem-ingly inescapable specter of job cuts — and the threat of extinc-

tion. Kodak has already sliced its global payroll to 18,800 from a peak of 145,300 in 1988, and its hometown rolls to 7,100 from 60,400 in 1982. Employees say they’re even more scared than usual that the latest crisis could sink careers that somehow dodged decades of cutbacks.

Chemist Kenny Baptiste says

something other than talent and hard work has kept him in his job for 19 years.

“I call it luck — I’m not going to sugar-coat it at all,” said Bap-tiste, 43, who joined Kodak’s research division out of college and has two young children. “I always say, I don’t believe I’m better than some of the people that have gone.”

Along with a rich portfolio of 11,000 patents, “we have some very innovative product ideas in the pipeline,” Baptiste said. “It’s not fair to think of us as fin-ished. I don’t think we’re down for the count, I really don’t.”

The transition to a world without film occurred at light-ning speed, and Kodak is still playing catch-up in securing a firm foothold in the amorphous realm of electronic media.

“It’s shocking how quickly Kodak has gone to no longer being a (familiar) name in nearly every household in Western culture,” said Robert Burley, a photography profes-sor at Ryerson University in Toronto.

While Kodak invented the world’s first digital camera in 1975, a reluctance to ease its heavy reliance on high-profit film allowed Japanese rivals like Canon and Sony to rush largely unhindered into the fast-emerging digital arena in the late 1990s.

Finally launching a four-year digital makeover in 2004 — the year it got ejected from the 30-stock Dow Jones club — Kodak closed aged factories, chopped and changed busi-

nesses and eliminated tens of thousands of jobs. It closed 2007 on a high note with net income of $676 million, then ran smack into the recession.

Kodak’s meteoric rise to blue-chip status in the 20th cen-tury was emblematic of what American business is capable of, but technological innova-tion doesn’t “stand still,” said Mark Zupan, dean of the Uni-versity of Rochester’s Simon Graduate School of Business Administration.

“Of the companies in the orig-inal Dow Jones index 100, only one survives — General Elec-tric,” Zupan said. “With the challenges companies face, it’s incredibly hard to sustain being at the top of the world. We’ve seen Hewlett-Packard go through this, IBM was on the point of death for a while, Good-year was near Chapter 11 and turned around, but it doesn’t always work out.”

Rochester was a prosperous shoe, clothing and horticulture hub of 90,000 back in 1880 when George Eastman, engrossed in an arcane art called photogra-phy, quit his bank clerk job to perfect a set of home exper-iments that rapidly trans-formed a hobby into a mass commodity. In place of heavy glass plates, Eastman devised a flexible cellulose film that he sold preloaded in box cameras. He made up the name Kodak because he liked the letter K — “strong and incisive.” Framed in yellow, it became one of the most recognizable brand names on earth.

In 1900, Eastman came out with a $1 Brownie, turning point-and-shoot photography into an overnight craze. By 1927, Kodak held a virtual monopoly of the U.S. photographic indus-try. And in the 1960s, its easy-load Instamatic 126 became one of most popular cameras ever, practically replacing old box cameras.

The collapse of such a legendary brand would

not only reverberate through American

business, but would also have a profound cultural

HERE’S THE SMOKEIf you’ve never bought a can of chile peppers in adobo sauce, now is the perfect time. Hearty fall food lends itself to smoky, spicy flavors accompanied by a beer or fresh apple cider. Add a few teaspoons to our Beef and Black Bean Chili on page 6 to add a bit of smoky heat. Look for them in the canned vegetable or ethnic section of the supermarket.

Everyone knows butter can burn easily, but getting it one step before burned—to just browned—brings out a nutty flavor that’s perfect for hearty fall foods. Here’s how: Melt butter in a light-colored skillet so you can gauge the color. Swirl 4 minutes or until butter smells nutty and is golden brown. Toss with pasta, winter squash or vegetables, use in our cornbread recipe on page 24, or in our Browned Butter White Chocolate Blondies at relish.com.

Browned Butter

Stick heavy skewers in apples, dip in melted

caramels and sprinkle with coarse fl aked salt. Sweet

and salty—now that’s a trick and a treat.

For 5 more apple dippers, go to relish.com/apples.

relish l the pantry

Molasses may be “slower in January,” but the fall makes us crave this thick, intensely flavored syrup. Think beyond molasses cookies—this pantry staple brings a dose of sweetness and a hint of warmth to lots of dishes, from barbecue sauce to gingerbread to baked beans.

Molasses is derived from sugar cane juice. The first boiling makes a light syrup that’s perfect for pouring over pancakes and waffles—or with the addition of live yeast and a little age—for making rum. But it’s the second boiling we love —a darker, thicker, slightly less sweet syrup with a signature flavor that’s ideal for baked goods, glazes and marinades. For more quick-and-easy dinner ideas, visit The Relish Pantry Project at relish.com/pantry.—Stacey Norwood

k For 10 molasses recipes, go to relish.com/molasses.

Sweet As Molasses

Molasses Cream Pie

For a quick-and-easy dessert, whisk 2 tablespoons molasses with 1/2 cup canned pumpkin pie filling and a pint of softened vanilla bean ice cream or frozen yogurt. Spoon into a cookie or graham-cracker pie crust (gingerbread would be especially tasty), refreeze and serve garnished with whipped cream and warm caramel sauce.

Lemon-Dijon Glaze

Brush pork, chicken or lamb with a mixture of lemon juice, molasses, Dijon mustard and garlic.

Molasses-Soy Marinade

Combine molasses, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil for a marinade for pork and salmon.

relish l Halloween

Wicked Good Dinnerhether this year’s brood includes a mermaid, a monster

or The Monopoly Man (my little guy), one thing’s for certain:

Everyone needs to eat. And a wicked good dinner will make you

a hero—superman, maybe? Fire-roasted tomatoes add depth and smoke to a

steaming cauldron of chili. Make it ahead and refrigerate for up to three days, or freeze for up to a month, then warm it gently and serve it up (in a hollowed-out pumpkin, if the spirit moves you) with an array of toppings.

Break out your cast-iron skillet for a luscious sour cream cornbread to serve alongside. It, too, can be made ahead and frozen, then thawed and warmed in the oven—you can even slide it back into the skillet for serving. And marinated black olives work their black magic overnight, making speedy

work of a salad with fresh oranges, its jolt of bright flavor as welcome as its pitch perfect color.

Dessert on Halloween should be a felony, but since it isn’t, go

for a make-ahead caramel sauce that turns ice cream into what just might be the treat of the day. Top each serving with a shower of salted peanuts, or grab a fistful of the Butterfingers you have waiting by the front door, let the kids smash them with their light sabers, and sprinkle those over the top. Happy Halloween.

y sister, Joanne Gusweiler, is a pastry chef, and like a lot of chefs, she can be a bit temperamental. She once owned a bakery called CocoLuxe in Peapack, N.J. It wasn’t an American bakery, but more a French patisserie

where she made chocolates, croissants from scratch, tortes and cookies. She use to rant about customers requesting “white” cake—“don’t they know that white is not a flavor?” She eventually sold CocoLuxe, but not before she perfected her Coca-Cola® Cake. She had lived in Atlanta for a short time and had fallen in love with the rich chocolate cake that calls for the city’s famous soda. Marshmallows and soda pop may seem like odd ingredients for a pastry chef to use, but in the South, they’re the real thing. —Jill Melton

relish l classic dishes

salad is a must for the hearty soups, stews and chilis the fall brings. And who doesn’t like a good Caesar? What passes today for Caesar Salad, though, bears little resemblance to what Chef Caesar Cardini created at his small hotel in Tijuana in 1924. He never mixed the dressing ahead of time, and nothing was

measured, so the salad took on the qualities of a spontaneous work of art. Garlicky olive oil, lemon juice, eggs and Parmesan cheese were, and still are, the basis of a good Caesar Salad. No anchovies, you ask? Caesar never added anchovies to the salad—only a bit of Worcestershire sauce, which contains a small amount of those salty little fish.

By Greg Patent, a food writer in Missoula, Mont.

A

Classic Caesar Salad 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 2 cups bread cubes, made from firm-textured bread 3 Romaine lettuce hearts ½ teaspoon coarse salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Juice from 1 lemon 2 large pasteurized egg yolks 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 1. Combine olive oil and garlic in a small bowl; cover tightly and let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour.2. Preheat oven to 325F. Toss bread with 3 tablespoons garlic oil to coat. Spread in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake about 10 minutes or just until the edges begin to color. Set aside to cool.3. Carefully separate leaves of the romaine hearts; place in a large salad bowl. Drizzle lettuce with 2 tablespoons garlic oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss well. Add another 2 tablespoons garlic oil, lemon juice, yolks and Worcestershire; toss gently. Sprinkle with cheese and croutons. Serve. Encourage guests to pick up leaves with their fi ngers.

KING KALEhen I worked in catering during college, kale was the curly stuff we used to garnish trays of Jell-O and cheese. No one ever really thought of eating it. But today we love kale for its toothsome

bite and because it stands up to heat much better than its more delicate cousins, spinach or arugula. This makes kale an excellent choice for cooking, but not so much for eating raw in salads. But a long bake in a hearty pasta dish or a slow simmer in a pot of soup? For these iterations, kale is perfect.

Recently, on a chilly overcast day, I found myself craving something warm and comforting. With wild rice in the pantry and kale in the crisper, I had the beginnings of our Wild Rice Chowder. I love the kale in this creamy chowder—it’s a chewy match for the rice. A friend came over, I toasted some Irish soda bread and roasted some cauliflower, and we had dinner. —Jill Melton

Kale is one of the healthiest foods you can add to your diet. It’s an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. It’s also high in calcium,

iron, folate and phytochemicals.

Creamy Fresh Greens Pasta BakeWith some fresh spinach and kale from the farmers’ market, this pasta bake stars a creamy béchamel sauce, pasta and cheese. Delicious. It would be great with ham for dinner.

Wild Rice Chowder with GreensWe like kale in this soup because it’s hearty and chewy and stands up to the fi rm textured wild rice, but you can use any kind of green—especially collard, mustard or turnip greens. Whole milk is the perfect addition here. Combining it with fl our stabilizes it and thickens the soup. This is a great main-dish soup. Just add bread and a salad.

MEDICATION GUIDEProlia® (PRÓ-lee-a) (denosumab) Injection

Read the Medication Guide that comes with Prolia before you start taking it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This Medication Guide does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about Prolia.

What is the most important information I should know about Prolia?

If you receive Prolia, you should not receive XGEVA®. Prolia contains the same medicine as Xgeva (denosumab).

Prolia can cause serious side effects including:

1. Low calcium levels in your blood (hypocalcemia).

Prolia may lower the calcium levels in your blood. If you have low blood calcium before you start receiving Prolia, it may get worse during treatment. Your low blood calcium must be treated before you receive Prolia. Most people with low blood calcium levels do not have symptoms, but some people may have symptoms. Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of low blood calcium such as: • Spasms, twitches, or cramps in your muscles • Numbness or tingling in your fingers, toes, or around

your mouth

Your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D to help prevent low calcium levels in your blood while you take Prolia. Take calcium and vitamin D as your doctor tells you to.

2. Serious infections.

Serious infections in your skin, lower stomach area (abdomen), bladder, or ear may happen if you take Prolia. Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis) due to an infection also may happen more often in people who take Prolia. You may need to go to the hospital for treatment if you develop an infection.

Prolia is a medicine that may affect your immune system. People who have weakened immune system or take medicines that affect the immune system may have an increased risk for developing serious infections.

Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms of infection: • Fever or chills • Skin that looks red or swollen and is hot or tender to touch

• Severe abdominal pain• Frequent or urgent need to urinate or burning feeling

when you urinate

3. Skin problems.

Skin problems such as inflammation of your skin (dermatitis), rash, and eczema may happen if you take Prolia. Call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms of skin problems that do not go away or get worse: • Redness • Itching • Small bumps or patches (rash) • Your skin is dry or feels like leather • Blisters that ooze or become crusty • Skin peeling

4. Severe jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis).

Severe jaw bone problems may happen when you take Prolia. Your doctor should examine your mouth before you start Prolia. Your doctor may tell you to see your dentist before you start Prolia. It is important for you to practice good mouth care during treatment with Prolia.

Call your doctor right away if you have any of these

side effects.

What is Prolia?

Prolia is a prescription medicine used to treat osteo porosis (thinning and weakening of bone) in women after menopause (“change of life”) who • Have an increased risk for fractures (broken bones). • Cannot use another osteoporosis medicine or other

osteoporosis medicines did not work well.

Who should not receive Prolia?

Do not take Prolia if you have been told by your doctor that your blood calcium level is too low.

What should I tell my doctor before receiving Prolia?

Before taking Prolia, tell your doctor if you:

• Are taking a medicine called Xgeva (denosumab). Xgeva contains the same medicine as Prolia.

• Have low blood calcium. • Cannot take daily calcium and vitamin D. • Had parathyroid or thyroid surgery (glands located in your neck).• Have been told you have trouble absorbing minerals in

your stomach or intestines (malabsorption syndrome).• Have kidney problems or are on kidney dialysis.• Plan to have dental surgery or teeth removed.• Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Prolia may

harm your unborn baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant while taking Prolia. Pregnancy Surveillance Program: Prolia is not intended for use in pregnant women. If you become pregnant while taking Prolia, talk to your doctor about enrolling with Amgen’s Pregnancy Surveillance Program or call 1-800-772-6436 (1-800-77-AMGEN). The purpose of this program is to collect information about women who have become pregnant while taking Prolia.

• Are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. It is not known if Prolia passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take Prolia or breast-feed. You should not do both.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take,

including prescription and nonprescription drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of medicines with you to show to your doctor or pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

How will I receive Prolia?

• Prolia is an injection that will be given to you by a healthcare professional. Prolia is injected under yourskin (subcutaneous).

• You will receive Prolia 1 time every 6 months.• You should take calcium and vitamin D as your

doctor tells you to while you receive Prolia.• If you miss a dose of Prolia, you should receive your

injection as soon as you can.• Take good care of your teeth and gums while you receive

Prolia. Brush and floss your teeth regularly.

• Tell your dentist that you are receiving Prolia before you have dental work.

What are the possible side effects of Prolia?

Prolia may cause serious side effects. • See “What is the most important information I should

know about Prolia?”

• Long-term effects on bone: It is not known if the use of Prolia over a long period of time may cause slow healing of broken bones or unusual fractures.

The most common side effects of Prolia are:• Back pain• Pain in your arms and legs • High cholesterol • Muscle pain• Bladder infection

These are not all the possible side effects of Prolia.For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

How should I handle Prolia if I need to pick it up from

a pharmacy?

• Keep Prolia in a refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) in the original carton.

• Do not freeze Prolia.

• When you remove Prolia from the refrigerator, Proliamust be kept at room temperature [up to 77°F (25°C)]in the original carton and must be used within 14 days.

• Do not keep Prolia at temperatures above 77°F (25°C). Warm temperatures will affect how Prolia works.

• Do not shake Prolia.

• Keep Prolia in the original carton to protect from light.

Keep Prolia and all medicines out of reach of children.

General information about Prolia

Do not give Prolia to other people even if they have the same symptoms that you have. It may harm them.

A SHARED PASSION!

Almost 30 years ago, as a young boy, I watched my Mom, Madeline Balletta, struggle with her energy level, as she tried to keep up with the demands of a busy life. It was hard for me and my sister Lori, because we wanted a mom like everyone else had, fun and energetic! Slowly but surely, she began acting more like her old self, with renewed energy and vitality. Lori and I were so excited and had no idea what was making this change in her, but we didn’t care. All we knew was that our Mom was fun again.

Years later, Mom told us that she had been taking a natural substance from the beehive called Royal Jelly, and it was a new awakening for her. She began to feel renewed energy and vitality like never before! That’s when she began to learn about the importance of a healthy diet and good nutrition…and became our greatest teacher.

Today, as President of BeeAlive, thecompany my Mom started over 25 years ago, I work every day to help people feel their absolute best. And thank God Mom taught me what she did. I now have a wife and baby triplets, who keep us busy “round the clock”. Boy, do we need to be energetic and healthy! If we didn’t have Royal Jelly, I don’t know what we would do. I don’t miss a beat, running BeeAlive and being the Dad to triplets! My wife, Rose, feels great! She is able to do it all and continue to run her own business, thanks to Royal Jelly!

WHAT IS ROYAL JELLY?

Found in nature, Royal Jelly is one of God’s most precious substances. It’s not honey or pollen, but the exclusive food of the Queen Bee. On a Royal Jelly diet, she lives about six years, while worker bees, eating only honey and pollen, live about six weeks! The only difference between the two is the Queen’s Royal Jelly diet. This rare and nutritious substance is precious and can only be found in nature.

NEED MORE ENERGY?

Whether you’re a grandmother, like Madeline, wanting to keep up with your grandkids, a dad, like Jason, trying to burn the candle at both ends, or a mom, like Rose, trying to survive the challenges of a new baby or a career, BeeAlive Royal Jelly is the answer. It’s been helping people feel more energetic for over 25 years. So, if you’re sick and tired of feeling tired and not being able to keep up with the demands of life, do something for yourself today … call BeeAlive right now!

e’re out of ham this year. Call back next year.” This was the nonchalant recording you’d get from Bob “HamBob” Woods, owner of The Hamery, just a couple years ago when you called to order a holiday ham.

The Hamery was started in 1969 in Murfreesboro, Tenn., by Bob’s uncle, veterinarian Sam Woods or “Little Doc” as he was known, and his cousin, Tom Givan. They missed the rich, salty flavor of county ham from the old days—when “Old Doc,” Sam’s father, cured his own hams.

Ten years later, The Hamery was passed on to Old Doc’s grandson Bob, who still cures ham according to Old Doc’s 68-year-old recipe that hangs on the wall (along with blue ribbons from the Tennessee State Fair). Bob salts

and sugars the hams and cools them in January. By mid-February they’re washed and hung in nets to dry. A few weeks later, the hams are moved to the smoking room, where they hang over a smoldering fire of apple and hickory woods until late October.

Although The Hamery cures and smokes the old-fashioned way, Bob has recently gotten with the times. Due in part to the efforts of Jaymie Perry, the CEO (or “head ham,” as Bob calls her), The Hamery now ships hams to chefs across the country and

has bumped up production. The company even makes “Tennshootoe,” Bob’s Tennessee version of the paper-thin sliced Italian ham, prosciutto.

Tennessee’s PrideSee why city slickers are clamoring for this old-fashioned country ham.

HamBob’s Angel BiscuitsOne of The Hamery’s most popular items is ham biscuits—bite-sized Southern angel biscuits fi lled with cooked shaved ham. To cut the biscuits, Bob uses a “rigged up muffl er tailpipe” (from the car parts store across the street), which he says is the perfect size. 1 cup buttermilk ⅛ teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon (or 1 envelope) active dry yeast 1 tablespoon sugar ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup warm water (100F-110F) 3 to 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup shortening1. Mix buttermilk and baking soda together. 2. Mix yeast, sugar, salt and water together. Let stand until foamy.3. Combine fl our and shortening, stirring with a fork until mixed well. Mix in buttermilk mixture. Mix in yeast mixture. (Dough will be wet.) Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.4. Pat out dough to ½ -inch thickness on a heavily fl oured board. Cut biscuits with a 2-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet and let rise 20 minutes.5. Preheat oven to 400F.6. Bake biscuits 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Split and fi ll with thinly sliced country ham. Makes about 18.Per serving: 135 calories, 6g fat, 0mg chol., 3g prot., 18g carbs., 1g fi ber, 56mg sodium.

To order HamBob’s country ham, go to thehamery.com or

call (615) 893-9712.

EDITORS’ NOTE: Angel biscuits are a cross between a biscuit and a yeast roll. It’s said that they’re easier to make than traditional biscuits and more foolproof due to the two types of leavening: baking soda and yeast. HamBob makes his Ham Biscuits bite-sized. If you want bigger biscuits, roll them out 1/2-inch-thick, as we did to the left. Placing them close together on the baking sheet makes them rise more.

Marinated Hearts of Palm Vinaigrette: ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil Finely grated rind of 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 orange Juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 orange ½ teaspoon coarse salt Freshly ground black pepperSalad: 2 (14-ounce) cans hearts of palm, rinsed, drained, blotted dry, and sliced into ⅓ -inch-thick rings 2 green onions, cut into ¼ -inch slices 4 celery stalks, cut into ¼ -inch slices 1 orange, sectioned and diced 1 grapefruit, sectioned and chopped 3 tablespoons diced pimiento-stuffed green olives

t Bossa Nova, an easygoing Brazilian café improbably located in Little Rock, Ark., everything is good. But, as my friend Louise says, “I love the black beans so much it’s hard for me to order anything else.” Although feijoada, Brazil’s most famous dish, is typically ultra-meaty (“In Brazil, we put everything in but the squeal,” says owner Rosalia), we usually end up ordering

the vegetarian arroz con feijao (rice with beans), perfected by an herbal slaw-salsa of tomato, onions and cucumber (Vinagrete), with a sprightly collard green salad, and, on the side, devilish little red malagueta peppers in oil.

You can find trim and chic Rosalia at the front of the cafe, but she is happiest in the kitchen, where, in apron and hairnet, she works side by side with the mostly Latino personnel. Bossa Nova hums along tri-lingually: in English, Spanish and her native Portuguese.

Story by Crescent Dragonwagon, a food writer in Saxton’s River, Vt.

Taste of Brazil

A FeijaoTender, savory and succulent, these vegetarian black beans are a daily staple in Brazil and never fail to satisfy when served with rice, Vinagrete, and malagueta peppers. 1 pound dried black beans, picked over and well-rinsed 2 bay leaves ¼ cup olive oil 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped ¼ cup chopped garlic 2 green onions, finely chopped ¼ cup chopped cilantro 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Place beans in a slow cooker set on high. Add boiling water to cover beans by at least 3 or 4 inches, and add bay leaves. Cook, covered, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, until beans are very soft, about 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed. Reserve both cooked beans and their liquid in the slow cooker.

To serve: Salad greens, spinach, spring mix, or 8 whole romaine lettuce leaves 1 ripe avocado, peeled and coarsely chopped

1. To prepare vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk well.2. To prepare salad, combining all ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour vinaigrette over top and toss well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. 3. To serve, place greens on 8 individual salad plates. Spoon heart of palm mixture on top. (If using romaine, place a spoonful of salad at the end of each leaf and serve one leaf per person.) Garnish with avocado. Serves 8.Per serving: 210 calories, 14g fat, 0mg chol., 5g prot., 20g carbs., 8g fi ber, 660mg sodium.

I know why millions ofAmericans are saving on theirheating bills with the Eden-PURE® Infrared PortableHeater.

And now you can save upto $192, our lowest pricesever on the new 2012 Eden-PURE® Personal Heater, thefinest portable heater in theworld.

For over 30 years as yourhome improvement televisionhost, I have reviewed and ex-perienced thousands of prod-ucts. I have an EdenPURE®

in my Massachusetts homeand found it to be a very safeand reliable source of portableheat. This is one of those fewcomfort investments I can rec-ommend for your home thatwill truly pay dividends.

We all know heating costsare expected to remain atrecord levels. The cost of heat-ing our homes will continue tobe a significant burden on thefamily budget. The Eden-PURE® can cut your heatingbills, pay for itself in a matterof weeks, and then start puttinga great deal of extra money inyour pocket after that.

With over one million sat-isfied customers around theworld, the new EdenPURE®

heats better, faster, savesmore on heating bills, andruns almost silent.

A major cause of residen-tial fires in the United Statesis portable heaters. The choiceof fire and safety profession-als everywhere, the Eden-PURE® has no exposed heat-ing elements that can cause afire. The outside of the Eden-PURE® only gets warm to thetouch so that it will not burnchildren or pets. And your petmay be just like my dog whohas reserved a favorite spotnear the EdenPURE®.

Accept no imitations.The EdenPURE® can also helpyou feel better. Unlike Eden-PURE® imitators, it will not re-duce humidity or oxygen in theroom. These imitators use ce-

ramic plates instead of ourpatented copper. Cheap ceram-ic plates reduce humidity, dryout your sinuses and make yourskin dry. With other heatingsources, you'll notice that youget sleepy when the heat comeson because they are burning upoxygen.

The advanced space-ageEdenPURE® also heats theroom evenly, wall to wall andfloor to ceiling. Other heatingsources heat rooms unevenlywith most of the heat concen-trated high and to the center ofthe room. And as you know,portable heaters only heat anarea a few feet around theheater. With the EdenPURE®,the temperature will not varyin any part of the room.

How can a person cuttheir heating bill with theEdenPURE®? First, the Eden-PURE® uses less energy to cre-ate heat than many othersources, but that is just part ofwhy it will cut a person’s heat-ing bill. The EdenPURE® willheat a room in minutes. Youwill immediately notice thedifference! Therefore, you canturn the heat down in your

house to as low as 50 degrees,but the room you are occupy-ing , which has the Eden-PURE®, will be warm andcomfortable.

Your EdenPURE® easilymoves from room to room.Using zone heating keeps youcomfortable and reduces yourheating bills. This can drasti-

cally cut heating bills; in someinstances, the savings may besubstantial.

The EdenPURE® will payfor itself in weeks. It willkeep a great deal of extramoney in a user’s pocket. Be-cause of today’s spiraling gas,oil, propane, and other energycosts, the EdenPURE® will pro-vide even greater savings astime goes by.

The EdenPURE® PersonalHeater comes with a compre-hensive three year warrantyand a 60-day, no questionsasked, satisfaction guarantee –EdenPURE® will even pay for

the return shipping. There isabsolutely no risk. And Eden-PURE® is the only portableheater with a National ServiceNetwork.

“I’m 79 years old and livealone in a small town. I own and wear thefirstSTREET Medical Alarm button. The Medical Alarm has saved my life not once but three times! The first incident was on May 15th, when I had a stroke. The second incident was on Oct15th, I found myself on the floor, with a knot on my head and a hole in the wall. The third incident was on Oct 23rd, I felt strange sitting in the chair. I could notmove my right arm or leg. I learned thatthe hole in my heart (from birth), was forcing the high blood pressure through thehole and right up to my brain, this was thereasons for all three strokes. I can walk andtalk with the exception of a weak right arm.If it was not for the Medical Alarm, whoknows what the outcome could’ve been.”

hat color are carrots?” Melissa Graham bellows out to the students. “Orange,” they scream out.

“Really?” Melissa says as she holds up a purple carrot. To a group of 10-year-olds outfitted in chef’s hats, Melissa introduces celery root, brocoflower and tomatoes—and not just one variety of tomato (purple this day), but all the different varieties. The kids smell and taste local fruits and vegetables, cook with them, and scamper home with simple recipes to cook with their families. “I want to get kids excited about vegetables and away from processed foods,” says Melissa. What else would you expect from a gal with a company called Purple Asparagus?

Melissa left her lucrative law practice after becoming a mother to start a not-for-profit Chicago-based company that offers cooking and nutrition education classes to public schools. Her mission: “To bring families back to the table by promoting and enjoying all the things associated with good eating.”

She was one of 500 chefs invited to the White House last year to launch the Chefs Move to Schools initiative. Sharing her enthusiasm are some 50 volunteers who work with Purple Asparagus in the schools and other community programs.

For more information on Melissa and her program go to purpleasparagus.com. By Carolyn Walkup, a food writer in Chicago.

Presenting the ®

When we introduced the original Acoustic Wave® music system, Sound & Vision said it delivered “possibly the best-reproduced sound many people have ever heard.” And the Oregonian reported it had “changed the way many Americans listen to music.”

With recently developed Bose® technologies, our engineers were able to make the acclaimed sound even more natural. We believe you’ll appreciate the quality even at volume levels approaching that of a live performance.

Q: What is Dwight

Yoakam up to these

days? —Mary Penedo,

Cranston, R.I.

A: He’s busy bal-ancing his music and acting careers. “I don’t talk about it much, but I’m doing some fun stuff,” Yoakam, 54, teases about his upcoming album. “We’re hoping to get it out early next year , but I’m still working on it so I haven’t looked up to think about stuff like scheduling yet.” In his latest fi lm, Dirty Girl, which is in theaters now, he plays an offbeat and disturbing character, a type he’s become known for through the years. “Prior to Sling Blade, I had done less antagonis-tic characters, but once you do something that works very well, people tend to want to sing along with that song,” he explains.

Q: Was Puss in Boots

his own franchise?

—Cody Silas, New York

A: Puss was supposed to have just one screen life. “He was going to be in Shrek 2 and that was it, but now he’s a superstar!” says Antonio Banderas, 51, who voices the swash-buckling feline. The spin-off fi lm Puss in Boots hits theaters Nov. 4.

Q: Singer Sara Bareilles

want to pursue an acting

A: “I love being onstage, and musical theater is appealing, but I’m not sure acting is my forte,” says the singer, 31. “Although I’ve learned enough to know that I should never say never!” Bareilles is

Q: Michelle Monaghan has

costarred with some of the

hottest actors. Has she ever

been starstruck by one?

—J. Graves, Queens

A: The actress, 35, has shared the screen with the likes of Patrick Dempsey and Gerard Butler, but it was Brad Pitt who stopped her in her tracks. “I ran into him and had a nervous moment, but then I thought, ‘Wait a minute, I’ve worked with him [on Mr. and Mrs. Smith]!’ ” she laughs. “At the end of the day, everyone is pretty normal.”

Your character is pretty rebellious. Were you like that

growing up? I didn’t do the things she does, but I would wear short shorts and show off my midriff, which was big at the time. And I’d wear too much makeup!You come from a big family. Any chance the Houghs

would do a reality show? People talk about it all the time, and my family is amazing, but I don’t think I’d be comfortable with putting everything on full display. You and your boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, are so busy.

How do you make your relationship work?

We always joke that we’re the same person. We’re both driven and addicted to improving, and whatever we put into our work we put into our relationship, too.

INTELLIGENCE PARADE I hear Sugar Ray Leonard gave you some point-ers for Real Steel. What did you learn?He taught me how to move my feet and throw a punch. But the biggest tip I got from him was that the connection between the boxer and his corner-man, which is what I play in the movie, is kind of

the foundation for the whole fi ght. It’s the

difference between winning and losing—the way the cornerman talks to his boxer, the way he looks

at the fi ght.

You and your wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have two children, Oscar [11] and Ava [6]. Was it hard playing someone who doesn’t take father-hood seriously? On any given day there are things you want to say as a parent that you just don’t. You zip up your mouth. So it’s kind of nice to unleash it all—it was good therapy. But my son is about the same age as my character’s in this fi lm, and that made the emotions closer to the surface.

When Ava starts dating, how will you treat her suitors? That’s when playing a role like Wolverine comes in handy. They’ll come by

and I’ll casually have the claws in my hand. That would be more effective than a baseball bat!

You’ve been training for the next Wolverine fi lm. Do you have a favor-ite last splurge the night before dieting? Here’s what happens: I start with breakfast cereal in the afternoon, because that’s one of my favorite things. And then I have

lasagna and ice cream for dinner.

Where do you call home these days? My real home is Australia, but we

currently live in New York. I love being on Broadway [he’s doing a one-man show from Oct. 25 through Jan. 1], but the real reason is that Deb loves the city. Happy wife, happy life.

How do you spend your Sundays? We have a bit of a sleep-in and then breakfast. I’m the pancake maker. Sometimes I get fancy and do crepes. When I met my wife, I was

EVERY ONCE IN A while, Hugh Jack-man gets the urge to make use of his

college journalism courses. “Each time I’m at the Today show, I ask Matt Lauer, ‘When are you hanging it up? When do I start?’ ” he says with a laugh. “And I know Regis Philbin is leaving, so next time I’m on that show, they may never get me out of the chair.” For now, though, the 42-year-old actor—currently starring in the robot-boxing movie Real Steel—tells Mary Margaret he’s sticking with his day job.

having a dinner party, and I made crêpes Suzette fl ambées, which I learned from my dad. It’s a good little seducer.

Did you know she was “the one” right away? It was like there was a big neon Las Vegas sign in my head pointing at her, saying, Do Not Let This One Go. I’m

famously indecisive, but this was crystal clear.

How do you keep your marriage strong? We have some rules, like never being apart for more than two weeks and always being honest. You also need a bit of surprise, which is my defi nition of romance.

What’s your most recent romantic surprise?

She’s wearing it on her left wrist—two very nice bracelets. She asked me what they were for, and I said, “Happy Friday.”

What lesson do you hope to pass on to your kids?Keep searching for that thing you love to do. Once it marries with the thing you’re good at, that is priceless.

SUMMARY NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

In re LG Energy Star Litigation, Civil Action No. 10-cv-03733 (DMC);

Robert Walsh v. LG Electronics USA, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 10-cv-04499 (DMC);

Deborah Aschenbrenner v. LG Electronics USA, Inc. et al.,

Civil Action No. 11-cv-00463 (DMC)

If you purchased an LG or Kenmore French door refrigerator, your rights may be affected by a proposed class action settlement. If you qualify you may send in a claim form to ask for Settlement benefits, exclude yourself from the settlement, or object.

The United States District Court for the District of New Jersey certified a Settlement Class of all end user consumer residents of the U.S. who purchased LG Refrigerators with model numbers LFX28977, LFX25975, LFX21975, and LMX25985, or a Kenmore French door refrigerator with model numbers 7973, 7975, or 7978. The court also authorized this notice. The court will have a hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement so that the benefits may be paid.

Complete Notice and Other Information. If you purchased a refrigerator model listed above, you may belong to the proposed Settlement Class. This notice is only a summary. If you would like a detailed notice and claim form, you can get one by e-mailing [email protected], by downloading one from www.energyusesettlement.com, by writing to Claim Administrator, PO Box 2579, Faribault, MN 55021-9579, or by calling 1-888-356-0232. A copy of the settlement agreement is available at www.energyusesettlement.com, or may be obtained by examining the publicly available court records.

Your Options. You may remain in the settlement class, exclude yourself from the settlement, or object to the settlement. If you remain in the settlement, and are eligible to submit a reimbursement claim, your claim form must be postmarked by May 19, 2012.

If you don’t want to be legally bound by the settlement, you must exclude yourself, and your request for exclusion must be postmarked by October 28, 2011. Any objection must be postmarked by November 7, 2011. Your rights, and your options, are fully explained in the long form Notice.

The Litigation. Plaintiffs claim that LG and Sears misrepresented the energy efficiency of their French door refrigerator with through the door ice dispenser models. Defendants have denied these claims. The case has been prosecuted and defended, but there has been no trial, and the Court has not decided who is right, or whether the case should proceed to trial as a class action.

The Settlement. If the settlement is approved by the Court, the Defendants will provide members of the Settlement Class with a lump sum cash payment of $179.76 (models LFX 25975 and Kenmore 7975), $149.05 (LFX 28977 and Kenmore 7978), $104.79 (LMX 25985), or $133.69 (LFX21975 and Kenmore 7973).

The Fairness Hearing. On November 21, 2011 at 10:00 a.m., the Court will hold a Fairness Hearing at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Newark Division) located at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse, 50 Walnut Street, Newark, NJ 07101 to determine whether the proposed settlement should be approved and to consider the application of Plaintiff’s counsel for attorneys’ fees and expenses in the amount of $6.84 million. You may attend and request to speak at the hearing but you do not have to do so.

he other night as i was getting

ready for bed, I turned off my phone and put it on the dresser. My 17-year-old daughter stared at me in disbelief. “But, Mom,” she exclaimed, “it’s so far away!”

For today’s youth, technology isn’t just a handy way to keep in touch or organize your

calendar; it’s as integral as eating and breathing—and seems to come just as naturally. Between smartphones, iPods, video games, and the Internet, being wired is a way of life. The average teen sends more than 50 texts a day; younger children spend over 10 hours a week playing video games; and the amount of time all kids spend online daily has tripled in the past 10 years.

We are just beginning to assess how this nonstop connectivity is affecting our kids’ social and intellectual development. It is increas-ingly clear that it’s changing the nature of children’s relationships to each other, to their families, and to the world around them. The latest research suggests it may even be rewiring their brains.

In a world where sexting is on the nightly news, plagiarism is just a Wikipedia click away, and people have hundreds of online friends

they’ve never met, helping your kids make smart choices has never been more crucial. But there are few rules of the road, as any parent who has watched his or her child fall down the Facebook hole for hours can tell you. In part this is because technology is changing so rapidly that it can be hard to keep up. Just a few years ago, a 10-year-old with a cell phone could do little with it beyond placing a call. Now, handing her one is giving her the ability to text, go on-line, and send and receive photos. Are kids ready for that? Are you?

The notion that parents need to get involved in their children’s digi-tal lives as actively as they do in academic or sports activities is still new. “The digital landscape is a positive place for kids,” says Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics 2011

report on the impact of social media on children, adolescents, and families. “It promotes a lot of healthy habits like socializa-tion and a sense of connected-ness to the greater world and to causes.” But, she says, children need guidance. Here are

some of the thorniest issues and how parents can navigate them.

� Do You Know How

Many Facebook Friends

Your Kids Have?

Fifty-one percent of American teens log on to a social network site more than once a day, and 22 percent log on more than 10 times a day, according to a recent poll by Com-mon Sense Media. You have to be 13 to join Facebook, but children should learn before then not to share personal information. “Pre-teenagers are very rule focused, so you can tell them, ‘Don’t do this,’ and they’re going to follow it,” Dr. O’Keeffe says. Unfortunately, even the smart-est kids can forget what they’ve been taught when they enter their teen

years and the desire to be popular overcomes common sense. Face-book can be like a high school caf-eteria on steroids. For some kids, it’s a positive experience, strengthening friendships and communication. Others, though, may feel left out, obsessively comparing themselves to peers and seeing the fun others are having—or at least posting about. Social media sites like Facebook, as well as texting, can also lead to cyber-bullying; it’s easier to target someone for abuse when you don’t have to face them. If your child is avoiding his phone or seems de-pressed after going online, these could be warning signs. In the not-so-distant past, if your kid seemed lethargic, you might have asked if she had a stomachache. Now it also pays to inquire if anything upsetting happened recently online.

� When Was the Last

Time Your Kid Used the

Phone to Actually Talk?

One of the biggest behavioral changes Generation Wired is expe-riencing is a preference for texting over talking. Kids 11 to 14 spend, on average, 73 minutes a day texting; for

older teens, it’s closer to two hours. If that sounds like an addiction, in some instances it may be. “When you get an unexpected text, the dopamine cells in the brain fi re up,” says Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Dopamine, which plays a role in many addictive behaviors, is a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure.

Sherry Turkle, director of MIT’s Initiative on Technology and Self and author of Alone Together, has spent years studying the psychologi-cal effects of this rampant texting on teens. “Kids have told me that they almost don’t know what they are feeling until they put it in a text.” One danger is that children may never learn how to be content spending time on their own, which is crucial for continued on page 12

MB: I’ve got two daughters, 13 and 15, and this

has been the bane of my existence. We had rules:

no computer in the room; only a half hour a day

online. They always ended up getting broken. We

felt like terrible parents. I can’t tell you the Face-

book pages I’ve found that have been a horror

show. Now the doors have to be open and you

have to be able to see the screen. We’re constantly

popping in to see what’s going on. I will take my

daughter’s computer and immediately look at the

history, before she has time to do anything. And

let’s just say it hasn’t always been perfect.

JS: Are you getting push-back?

MB: It’s the battle of our lifetime.

JS: I’ve got two older boys, 23 and 20, and two

younger children, an 8-year-old girl and a 3-year-

old boy. I was a very permissive father with my

older boys. My attitude with my younger children is

that anytime they are in front of a computer or an

iPhone, I am losing the war. I have become almost

hyper in getting them outside kicking the soccer

ball, riding a bike. We have a hard-and-fast rule:

Don’t even think about bringing an iPod Touch or

an iPad to the table. The more I teach my children

to carry on conversations at dinner, the more I have

them running outside, and the less they’re in front

of any type of computer screen, the more of an

advantage they have on all of their peers at school.

It is becoming an obsession with me.

MB: My husband has taken the BlackBerry and

thrown it out the window, or at least wanted to, a

couple times.

JS: One of the things I was very fortunate about,

that my mom passed on to me, was being able to

stay in my room and read, write songs, create. Un-

fortunately, technology is short-circuiting our chil-

dren’s imagination. Nobody does what I did in the

summer in high school: just sit inside your room,

live inside your mind, and create.

MB: But you can’t shun technology. You can’t

escape it. It’s part of our kids' curriculum, the way

they communicate. You should learn how to chat,

how to Facebook, how to text. You should know

how to do everything that they know how to do on

the computer so you can follow their tracks.

JS: I will say this as a man that has been through

this before. Here is the No. 1 rule: You can never

back down. If you draw a line in the sand on tech-

nology and you back down one time, you’re going

to be backing down every time.

MB: You can tell he’s been dealing only with boys.

He has a lot to learn.

JS: I’m 6-foot-4, I’ve got a deep voice, and I’m not

getting a lot of push-back. That said, when my girl

turns 10 or 11, I know I’m in big trouble.

MB: You’re in very big trouble.

An important correction from BONIVA for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis

You may have seen an ad about BONIVA for

the treatment and prevention of postmenopausal

osteoporosis that may have given you the wrong

impression. Our ads stated that “After one year

on BONIVA, 9 out of 10 women stopped and

reversed their bone loss.” The FDA has found

that there is not enough evidence to support

this statement and wants us to clear up any

misunderstanding you may have had about

these ads and make sure you have the correct

information about BONIVA.

BONIVA has not been proven to stop and reverse

bone loss in 9 out of 10 women and is not a cure

for postmenopausal osteoporosis. BONIVA has

been shown to help increase bone mass and help

reduce the chance of having a spinal fracture

(break). We encourage all patients to discuss their

treatment with their healthcare provider. Only your

doctor can determine if BONIVA is right for you.

What is BONIVA?

BONIVA is a prescription medicine used to treat

or prevent osteoporosis in women after menopause.

BONIVA helps increase bone mass and helps reduce

the chance of having a spinal fracture (break).

It is not known how long BONIVA works for the

treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. You

should see your doctor regularly to determine if

BONIVA is still right for you.

Important Risk Information for BONIVA

You should not take BONIVA if you have certain

problems with your esophagus (the tube that

connects your mouth and stomach), low blood

calcium, cannot sit or stand for at least 60 minutes,

or are allergic to BONIVA or any of its ingredients.

BONIVA can cause serious side effects including

problems with the esophagus; low blood calcium;

bone, joint, or muscle pain; severe jaw bone

problems; and unusual thigh bone fractures.

Before starting BONIVA, tell your doctor if you

have problems with swallowing, stomach or

digestive problems, have low blood calcium, plan

to have dental surgery or teeth removed, or have

kidney problems.

Stop taking BONIVA and tell your doctor right

away if you have pain or trouble swallowing, chest

pain, or severe or continuing heartburn, as these

may be signs of serious upper digestive problems.

Call your doctor immediately if jaw problems or

hip, groin, or thigh pain develops; or if you have

symptoms of low blood calcium such as spasms,

twitching, cramps in your muscles, or numbness or

tingling in your fingers, toes, or around your mouth.

Follow the dosing instructions for once-monthly

BONIVA carefully.

The most common side effects are back pain,

heartburn, stomach area pain, pain in your arms

and legs, diarrhea, headache, muscle pain, and

flu-like symptoms.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects

of prescription drugs to the FDA at www.fda.gov/

medwatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088.

Talk to your doctor for more information or if you

have questions about your treatment.

Please read additional important risk information

for BONIVA on the next page.

or safety of BONIVA, please call Genentech at

healthy psychological develop-ment. “Technology encourages this fantasy that adolescents grow up with that they will never have to be alone, that they will never have to separate from parents and peers. But if you don’t learn to be alone, you will only know how to be lonely.” Parents who constantly text their children compound the problem.

Though kids treat their cell phones like appendages, getting them to talk on the phone can be nearly impossible. Experts worry that this fundamental change in how kids communi-cate is endangering the develop-ment of an important set of skills they’ll need later on: how to converse, read cues from vocal intonations, and even negotiate. “There’s a big difference between an apology that involves looking in somebody’s eyes and seeing that they’re hurt, and typing ‘I’m sorry’ and hitting send,” Turkle points out. Parents need to insist that their children actually talk to them rather than just text. Turkle also favors setting up non-texting zones, including the kitchen and dining room. And, she advises: “No texting in the car on the way to school. That was always one of the most im-portant times for parents to talk to children. Don’t give it up.”

The minute you hand a child a cell phone, you’re also open-ing up the entire online world to them, including sexting. Dr. O’Keeffe recommends that you talk about the dangers from day one. “If you don’t feel ready to have that conversation, hold off giving them a phone. Ten years

old is the minimum age a kid should have a cell phone unless there’s a medical issue, in which case you should get them a watered-down model that can basically just make calls.”

� How Many Hours Does Your Child Spend Gaming? When kids play video games, that little pleasure chemical dopamine also kicks in. The intermittent reinforcement that games provide—you win a little, you want to play more—is similar to gambling, and for some kids, just as addictive. Ninety-two percent of kids ages 8 to 18 play video games, and 8.5 percent can be classifi ed as addicted, meaning their play interferes with the rest of their lives. According to Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University, lead author of a 2011 study on video game addiction, 12 percent of boys and 3 percent of girls who play will get addicted.

Parents are right to worry about the violent content of some games, but they should be just as concerned about the amount of time kids spend playing even benign offerings. “Increased game play is related to poorer school performance as well as higher rates of obesity,” Gentile says. “For every hour children are spending on games, they are not doing homework, exercis-ing, or exploring.”

There is no clear-cut way to predict which kids will become hooked, but those who have poor impulse control or are socially awkward and have diffi culty fi t-ting in at school are at higher risk. Watch for these telltale signs of addiction: a drop in grades, a

change in sleep patterns, and in-creased anxiety. Gentile recom-mends that parents limit video game play to one hour per day and monitor the content. And you should pick out games with your kids rather than letting them choose their own. Though the ratings on video games may not tell you everything you need to know, they can help you make decisions about whether content is age-appropriate.

� Should Teachers Use Twi� er in the Classroom? There is near-universal agree-ment that schools must play a role in getting kids to be cyber-smart, but teachers have strug-gled as much as parents to catch up. A 2011 survey by the National Cyber Security Alliance found that only 51 percent of K–12 teachers felt that their dis-tricts were doing an adequate job of preparing students for online safety, security, and ethics. Only 15 percent had taught lessons involving online hate speech, and just 26 percent had addressed cyber-bullying. Most teachers have little or no training in these areas. Still, a growing number are adapting their methods to better reach kids used to constant digital stimulation. “We fi nd that you have to switch activity or delivery method

six times greater, yet digital mammo grams are only 60 percent accurate in detecting tumors in these patients. But “when women with dense breasts supplement their yearly mammogram with an ultrasound, the combined

Two months after receiving a normal mammogram result in 2003, Nancy M. Cappello was diagnosed with Stage 3c breast cancer after her physician detected an abnormality during a rou-tine exam. Cappello was stunned—she’d had 11 years of clear screenings, yet her breast surgeon estimated that the cancer had been growing for four to five years. The surgeon said that it had likely been missed because she had dense breast tissue, which made tumors hard to detect.

Cappello learned that while 40 percent of women have dense breasts, fewer than one in 10 are aware of it. For women with dense breast tissue, the risk of developing cancer is four to

screenings detect cancer 97 percent of the time,” says Cappello. “I did everything I was told but had a coin toss chance of finding cancer.”

Determined to put the word out, Cappello launched a nonprofit, Are You DENSE (areyoudense.org), to edu-cate women about breast density. She and her husband, Joe, also worked to initiate state legislation requiring doctors to make sure patients are informed of their breast density risk. So far, laws have been passed in Connecticut and Texas, and at press time bills are pending in Califor-nia and New York. A federal bill is in the draft phase.

“Nancy is the first person to make this issue known,” says Dr. Thomas Kolb, a New York radiologist who has pioneered research on breast density. “These women deserve to be told that they are at in-creased risk, and that they can do something about it.” —Dana Hudepohl

Q: Should I get a personal health record?

A personal health record (PHR) lets you store all of your medical information online; you may be able to set one up through your employer, your insurer, or an independent site like WebMD or HealthVault. From a medical standpoint, it’s a good idea to have one, especially if you su� er from a complex condition. PHRs aggregate all of your health history, making critical information avail-able to every doctor who’s treating you. Talk to your physician and your insurance company about whether they can feed your data into a PHR. To help avoid security breaches, choose a strong password, and don’t share it with others. —Dr. Glen Stream, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians

Important Safety Information about CRESTOR.

CRESTOR is not right for everyone, including anyone who has previously had an allergic reaction to CRESTOR, anyone with liver

problems, or women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant. Your doctor should do blood tests before and

during treatment with CRESTOR to monitor your liver function. Unexplained muscle pain or weakness could be a sign of a rare but

serious side effect and should be reported to your doctor right away. Elevated blood sugar levels have been reported with statins,

including CRESTOR. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking any medications. The most common side effects include

headache, muscle aches, abdominal pain, weakness, and nausea.

If you can’t afford your medication, AstraZeneca may be able to help. For more information, please visit www.AstraZeneca-us.com

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.FDA.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Lowering your high cholesterol may be

important than you think.

Because if you have HIGH CHOLESTEROL and any of these risk factors,� Diabetes or � High Blood Pressure or � Family History of Early Heart Disease,

you may be at increased risk for plaque buildup in your arteries.

High cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in arteries over time. But if you have high cholesterol plus any of the risk factors above, you may be at even greater risk for building dangerous plaque than someone who has high cholesterol alone. That’s why it’s even more important to get your cholesterol levels where your doctor wants.

When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough, adding CRESTOR can help. In adults, along with diet, CRESTOR is proven to lower “bad” (LDL) cholesterol by up to 52%.* CRESTOR is also FDA-approved to slow the buildup of plaque in arteries as part of a treatment plan to lower cholesterol to goal.

Talk to your doctor and ask if prescription CRESTOR is right for you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CRESTOR® (ROSUVASTATIN CALCIUM)

Please read this summary carefully and then ask your health care professional about CRESTOR. No advertisement can provide all the information needed to determine if a drug is right for you. This advertisement does not take the place of careful discussions with your health care professional.

Only your health care professional has the training to help weigh the risks and benefi ts of a prescription drug.

WHAT IS CRESTOR?CRESTOR is a prescription medicine that belongs to a group

of cholesterol-lowering medicines called statins. Along

with diet, CRESTOR lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL-C) and

increases “good” cholesterol (HDL-C). If bad cholesterol

levels are left untreated, fatty deposits (plaque) can build

in the walls of the blood vessels. This plaque buildup, over

time, can lead to narrowing of these vessels. This is one of

the most common causes of heart disease. By lowering bad

cholesterol in your blood, CRESTOR can slow this plaque

buildup in the walls of blood vessels.

CRESTOR has been proven to reduce the risk of heart attacks

and strokes in people without known heart disease, but who

are at increased risk based on age (men 50 years and older,

women 60 years and older), elevated blood levels of hsCRP

(a marker of infl ammation that can be associated with

increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack

and stroke), plus at least one additional risk factor (such as

high blood pressure, low HDL “good” cholesterol, smoking, or

family history of early heart disease).

WHAT IS CHOLESTEROL?Cholesterol is a fatty substance, also called a lipid, normally

found in your bloodstream. Your body needs a certain amount

of cholesterol to function properly. But high cholesterol can

lead to health problems. LDL-C is called bad cholesterol

because if you have too much in your bloodstream, it can

become a danger to your health and can lead to potentially

serious conditions. HDL-C is known as good cholesterol

because it may help remove excess cholesterol. Common

health factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking,

obesity, family history of early heart disease, and age can

make controlling your cholesterol even more important.

WHAT IS ATHEROSCLEROSIS?Atherosclerosis is the progressive buildup of plaque in the

arteries over time. One major cause is high levels of LDL-C.

Other health factors, such as family history, diabetes, high

blood pressure, or if you smoke or are overweight, may also

play a role in the formation of plaque in arteries. Often this

plaque starts building up in arteries in early adulthood and

gets worse over time.

HOW DOES CRESTOR WORK?Most of the cholesterol in your blood is made in the liver.

CRESTOR works by reducing cholesterol in two ways:

CRESTOR blocks an enzyme in the liver causing the liver to

make less cholesterol, and CRESTOR increases the uptake

and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood.

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE CRESTOR?Do not take CRESTOR if you

■ are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, or are

planning to become pregnant. CRESTOR may harm

your unborn baby. If you become pregnant, stop

taking CRESTOR and call your health care

professional right away

■ are breast-feeding. CRESTOR can pass into your

breast milk and may harm your baby

■ have liver problems

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

To see a star in the night sky,

I need to look a few degrees

to the left or right of it. Why

can’t I see the star when I

look directly at it? —William Sexton, Virginia Beach, Va.

Readers often ask about this visual phenomenon, which evidences itself in so many ways. Human eyes have two kinds of photosensitive cells—cones and rods. Cones are used for seeing when it’s light; rods are used when it’s relatively dark. (No animals, not even owls, can see in total darkness.) The center of your eye contains only cones; the perimeter is dense with rods. So when you look directly at a star, it disappears because the cones can’t “see” it. But when you look nearby, the star reappears because the rods can see it.

This is the reason observ-ers so often feel that they’re never looking in quite the right place during a meteor shower. They’re right! Mostly we see the shooting stars only in our peripheral vision.

You may notice the effect when you walk down stairs at night. If you look directly at the next step, you’ll feel less secure than if you look higher.

Chickens have nearly all cones, so they can barely see at night. Rats are the oppo-site. Their eyes have nearly all rods, which is why they dislike daylight so much.

SundayDinner

When I’m working, my trailer is my

home, and I bring my own lunch, usually something simple like a salad. But when I’m not working, I love to cook. I like making homey, cozy food.

In my family, we’re very spoiled in the food department. My dad’s side of the family is Jewish, and my great-grand-mother made amazing matzo ball soup, noodle kugel, and mandelbrot. My mom’s side of the family is Italian, and when we have dinner for a large crowd, it’s usually ravioli or eggplant Parmesan.

When I was learning to cook, I wanted to make something different from the usual Italian fare. So I consulted with my aunt Carol, my mother’s sister, who often cooked for big dinner parties. She suggested Chicken Sputnik, a recipe that was handed down through generations.

In the 1950s, one dinner guest who ate Aunt Carol’s chicken declared it “out of this world,” and said, “This must be Chicken Sputnik.” So now that’s what my fam-ily calls it.

The Right Stu� Actress Rachel Bilson, who stars in the new CW medical drama Hart of Dixie, grew up in a food-centric family

every 10 minutes to keep kids focused,” says Philadelphia elementary school teacher Sharon Mora, who recently won a Teacher of the Year award for her innovative approach to computer science. She is at the forefront of educators who believe that embracing technology rather than merely policing it will enhance learning. She has been active, for example, in using programs like PhotoBooth to help kids create interactive school reports. Other teachers have experimented with allowing students to use social media to partici-pate in class discussions. “If you can use Twitter to maximize the likelihood that these kids will be profi cient in a subject matter, why not?” Dr. Volkow says. “These changes have been so dramatic that we should be thinking of how to take advantage of them to improve education.”

� How Exactly Is All This A� ecting Young Brains?A 2010 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that students 8 to 18 spend more than 7.5

hours a day engaged with computers, cell phones, TV, music, or video games. Forty percent of kids in middle school and high school say that when they’re on the computer, most of the time they’re also plugged into other media. The effects this multitasking has on still-forming brains can be positive and negative. “The prefrontal cortex, which is essential for social behavior, planning, reasoning, and impulse control, is not fully devel-oped until the early 20s,” says Jordan Grafman of the Kessler Foundation Re-search Center. “Its develop-ment is largely dependent on what activities you do.”

Studies have shown that multitasking can lead to faster response time, improved peripheral vision, and a greater ability to sift through information quickly. But it also results in a diminished ability to focus on one thing for long. “You get better at the physical and visual motor parameters of what

you’re doing, but not the deeper, thoughtful aspects,” Grafman says.

How will the generation coming of age now—less accustomed to sustained concentration—be affected? No one’s sure. Dr. O’Keeffe recently spoke to a group of college students. “They said they feel really bombarded, they’re not sure they’re learning effectively, and they’re not sure how to turn it all off. We need to learn from what they’re saying and help our current teen-

agers as well as younger kids learn to disconnect.” For parents, that might entail modeling a bit of self- discipline, like refraining from making calls while you drive or sneaking off during family gatherings to check your email. But the payoff—real conversations in real time—just may surprise you, and your kids. Who knows?

They may even like it. Of course, you may need to check their Facebook page to fi nd out.
