First shelter opens; levee road closed

By Danny Barrett [email protected]

The fi rst temporary shel-ter for fl ood evacuees opened in Vicksburg today as Eagle Lake and north Vicksburg neighborhoods were nearly vacated.

Entergy planned to cut off power to affected areas where lives and the electric-ity utility’s infrastructure were threatened.

Farmers worked furiously to remove corn, the only crop ready for harvest, from fi elds along the Mississippi River.

Rental trucks for moving were almost impossible to fi nd, with lines quickly form-ing for any that are returned.

Redwood Elementary School students and teachers were packing all they could to move out at the close of classes Friday.

Low Water Bridge Road became the only road to provide nearby access to Eagle Lake with water lap-ping over Mississippi 465 and the Yazoo Backwater Levee closed as water rose and the Levee Commission said it had to immediately perform maintenance work.

Prospects grew that land near Vicksburg’s bayous could go under as water backed up from rivers.

The Mississippi River stood at 47.9 feet this morning, up

nine-tenths of a foot. It is forecasted to crest at 57.5 feet by May 20, the highest since the historic 1927 fl ood.

High water marksfrom Kentucky to Gulf

By The Associated Press

HICKMAN, Ky. — Morrison Williamson feels confi dent the fl oodwall about 10 feet from the hardware store he man-ages will save it, even though two rivulets of the swol-len Mississippi River sprout from reinforc-ing timbers on the structure like water from a garden hose.

Others in Hick-man, a town of about 2,500 in the south-west corner of Kentucky, are keeping their eyes on the earthen levee that adjoins the floodwall. A b o u t 1 2 0 Fulton County jail inmate vol-unteers dressed in orange or white prisoner uniforms furiously filled sandbags Wednesday.

Eight U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District quarter boats and 30 Corps

employees sent to Hickman just after Easter to house and feed government offi cials fi ght-ing the fl ood were near a return to Vicksburg soon, a Corps

offi cial said this morning.

“They are still up there to house people for the flood fighting and they will be on their way back shortly,” Corps spokesman Kavanaugh Breazeale said.

The quarter boats, which are dormitory-style housing and supply-storage barges used by the Corps’ mat-sinking and dredging units.

Anticipating a slow-motion disaster that could break

flood records dating to the 1920s, thousands of people from Illinois to Louisiana have already been forced from their homes, and anxiety is rising

Businesses at port, along 61 Southmaking preparations to shut doors By Danny Barrett [email protected]

About 25 businesses west of U.S. 61 from Redwood in the north end of Warren County to LeTourneau Technologies near the southern border said Wednesday they prob-ably will temporarily shut Vicksburg doors because of Mississippi River fl ooding.

“The river’s just totally out of control,” said Tom Mur-phree, regional sales man-ager for Kinder Morgan Terminals, which the Port of Vicksburg’s loading area. “Probably by the weekend, we won’t be able to operate in Vicksburg.”

According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ latest illustration projecting where fl oodwaters will go, the ter-minal and 21 businesses on E.W. Haining Road and businesses on U.S. 61 South such as Foam Packaging and Cooper Lighting will take on water.

LeTourneau Technolo-gies, already seeing deep fl ooding of its yard, pre-pared to close late today as access was expected to be shut off from U.S. 61 South and feeder roads. Martin Marietta Aggregates, next

to LeTourneau, has closed indefi nitely.

According to the Corps map, fl ooding will extend from the river to U.S. 61, across the backwater levee to Mississippi 3 and east along the Big Black River and south to the Fisher Ferry Road relief bridges.

The west edge of Vicks-burg Municipal Airport was expected to take on water, but offi cials there have not said if use of the newly reno-vated and upgraded airport will be affected.

About 85 management-level offi cials from industries on the water packed a meeting room at the Hampton Inn &

Suites to hear the latest on small business loans and how to handle unemploy-ment fi lings if closures drag on for weeks.

North-south rail service to the port has ended, and could be shut down for a month. Access to the Port of Vicksburg via truck could cease for weeks if areas of U.S. 61 and North Washing-ton Street go underwater for prolonged periods. Whether heavy truck traffi c is legal-ized on Sherman Avenue to detour high water is up to local government and the actual fl ood pattern, Port

Cyril Forck, 90, catches a small perch from his deck, which is usually 50 feet away from the Mississippi River, on Mud Island in Memphis.

No arrests made in unrelated killings in city, countyBy Manivanh [email protected]

Law enforcement authorities continued their investigation this morning into the separate killings of Maurice Morris, 18, and Alicia Michelle Peay Vega, 32.

Warren County Sheriff

Martin Pace said his depart-ment is still searching for the 2002 brown Dodge Durango that witnesses said was driven away by Vega’s 14-year-old stepdaughter shortly before the woman was found dead in her home.

Pace said his office is await-ing a ballistics report from the

Mississippi State Crime Lab on whether a gun found in the home was used in the killing.

Separately, no arrest has been made in the case involv-ing the killing of Morris, who was believed to have been attempting to rob two men in a parking lot at the Confeder-ate Ridge Apartments, 780 U.S.

61 North, Vicksburg police Sgt. Sandra Williams said.

Morris was found with a mask on his head Monday morning about 50 yards from the shooting scene, which erupted after the botched robbery.

A second man, Corey Thomp-son, 25, 4880 U.S. 80, also

believed to have been attempt-ing to rob Jermaine Wright, 26, a resident of the complex, and Patrick Tucker, 23, 2106 Baker St., remained at River Region Medical Center, to which he drove himself after being shot in the abdomen Sunday night following the botched robbery.

City man chargedin burglary of bar

A Vicksburg man was arrested Wednesday on sus-picion of stealing cigarettes and liquor from a Wash-ington Street bar, police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

Chris Lee Smith, 42, 4 Marion Bragg Drive, was arrested at 2:46 p.m. in the 1500 block of Washington Street and charged with busi-ness burglary. Smith was identified earlier in the day as a suspect in the theft from the Upper End, 1306 Wash-ington St., reported at 9:12 a.m., Stewart said.

Reported stolen was a liter of vodka valued at $24, a liter of Bacardi rum valued at $38, a gallon of Paul Mason brandy valued at $36, a half-gallon of Zing Zand Bloody Mary mix valued at $18 and a pack of Marlboro menthol cigarettes valued at $5.

When Smith was arrested, police found a pack of ciga-rettes with a bar code match-ing the ones reported stolen, Stewart said. Smith was being held on $35,000 bond at the Warren County Jail.

Trailer, Xboxmissing in city

The theft of a utility trailer was reported Wednesday in the city, police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

At 11:54 a.m., a black, 30-foot dual tandem axle trailer valued at $5,500 parked at Gary’s Cars 4 Less, 3524 U.S. 61 South, was reported stolen.

Separately, an Xbox valued at $300 and six games, $40 each, were reported stolen at

1:32 p.m. Wednesday from a home in the 400 block of Lake Hill Drive, Stewart said.

Jackson woman hurtin I-20, Clay wreck

A Jackson woman was injured Wednesday in a wreck in the westbound lane of Interstate 20 at the Clay Street on-ramp.

Helen Torrey, 47, 2106 East Drive, was driving a 2009 Nissan Rogue when it was hit in a chain reaction after a black SUV entered the inter-state, said Shantel Carter, a traffic officer with the Vicks-burg Police Department.

The SUV cut off a 1999 Toyota Camry driven by Donnis Hamby, 55, 123 Clear Creek Road, who swerved into the left lane and hit a 2006 F-350 that was hauling a trailer. Torrey’s car was hit and flipped, Carter said.

Torrey was taken to River Region Medical Center, where she was treated and released. Her passen-ger, Mary Tucker, 75, 1521 N. Midway Road, Clinton, was not injured, nor was the driver of the Ford F-350, John Morgan, 51, 115 Morgan Cove, Mendenhall; his passenger, Todd Brock, 48, 113 South-ampton Cincle, Madison; nor the passenger in the Toyota, Glenda Courtier, 61, 127 Clear Creek Road.

It was unknown who was driving the black SUV or in what direction it traveled.

Gubernatorial hopefulset for Tea Party event

Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant will speak at a May 12 Vicksburg Tea Party event.

Flood rumor mills swirling woes By Manivanh [email protected]

With two weeks to go until the Mississippi River is expected to crest at 57.5 feet at Vicksburg, the rumor mill is making plan-ning difficult, Sharkey County officials said.

“I got 91 incoming calls yes-terday (Tuesday) on my cell phone, and I would guess that 70 percent of them came from the rumor mill,” said Bill Newsom, Sharkey County board president.

A meeting Wednesday in Rolling Fork drew about 1,000 and aimed to dispel rumors

that have panicked the area’s 2,486 people, he said.

“I think we offered some com-fort,” Newsom said. “I guess Facebook, the Internet and tex-ting are great, but for...some-thing this important, please use the official source.” False reports of closings and evacu-ations had circulated in Shar-key, he said.

Information is available daily from the Sharkey County Chancery Clerk, 662-873-2755, or Newsom, 662-907-1498.

In Vicksburg, Mayor Paul Winfield has been using the Internet. “We are going to be updating information through

social networking and through Facebook and our website where our citizens will have access to GIS mapping, which will allow them to take a pre-diction on whether their area, their home or business will be affected,” Winfield has said.

In Warren County, official information regarding flood and river stages is available at the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers Vicksburg District web-site, www.mvk.usace.army.mil or at www.rivergages.com, Corps spokesman Kavanaugh Breazeale said. Also, call the City of Vicksburg’s action line at 601-636-3411.

Redwood packs up for Friday move

By Pamela [email protected]

Redwood Elementary School will close Friday afternoon in anticipation of flood waters, and its students will finish the year at Sherman Avenue Elementary and Warren Central Intermediate, Vicks-burg Warren School District Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford announced Wednesday.

A meeting for parents of Red-wood students will be tonight at 6 in the gym at Sherman Avenue to explain the plan.

Priority is the comfort of the 445 displaced students, Swin-ford said, as they face critical state testing next week and the final days of the school year, which ends May 25.

All three principals want the Redwood students to feel at home, she said, and signs wel-coming the kids have already been put up inside and outside WCI and Sherman. They are expected to be kept with their current teachers.

At an emergency meet-ing Wednesday, trustees of the VWSD discussed prep-arations for the Mississippi River flood, forecast to reach historic levels by May 20 and close U.S. 61 North, perhaps by Tuesday.

During a meeting at Kings E mp owe r m e n t Ce n t e r Wednesday night, Vicksburg Warren School District 2 Trustee and Board Chairman Zelmarine Murphy told Kings residents their children will be taken care of at any school in the district.

“If you move, let the school know where you are and the children are,” Murphy said. “We will not do anything where your children are con-cerned without letting you know.”

Families with children who are displaced or lost jobs because of the flood are eli-gible for free meals at school upon completing an appli-cation. Forms distributed Wednesday night include questions on income and family size, though Murphy said the details are there to satisfy federal guidelines and no one would be turned away.

Applications are available at all district schools, the admin-istrative offices, the United Way, Red Cross or online at www.applyforlunch.com.

The flood will also cover other roads near the Redwood school and bring 1 to 2 feet of

water into the parking lot and the building, Swinford said.

In lieu of filling and placing sandbags around the school, trustees OK’d an emergency expenditure of up to $55,000 to have a levee built around it, with funds to come from the facilities budget.

“It will stop the flood if it stays at the stages they are predicting,” said Morris Keith, VWSD building and grounds supervisor. “There may be seepage; we will have pumps out there to deal with that.”

“The concern is not the water crossing 61, it’s the creeks behind us backing up,” Randy Broome, Redwood’s principal, said Wednesday as teachers, parents and others packed books and other essentials at the school. “We’re banking on that levee holding for us.”

The levee, being constructed all around the school from the frontage road, or the old Mis-sissippi 3, around the back to Redwood Road, is hoped to

prevent interior flooding and the need to move large equip-ment into storage.

Phillip Coutch, owner of Backhoe & Dozer Service of Vicksburg, said 5,000 to 6,000 yards of dirt will be trucked in to build the levee that will be as much as 6 feet high. Some or all of the cost could be reim-bursed to the district through its flood insurance policy or if a state of emergency is feder-ally approved, Swinford said.

Monday, Sherman Avenue will see a staggered schedule, with Redwood students bused or dropped off around 8:15, Swinford said. The schedule provides for staggered break-fasts, lunches and dismissals.

State testing was slated to start early next week and end by May 12 or 13, Swinford said. Redwood’s students could not be tested early, before the school was evacuated, because all students have to be tested at the same time, she said.

“As of right now I don’t know if it’s really hit [the students] yet,” Broome said. “We’re trying to make it as normal as possible...for state testing.”

But fifth-grader Dorniesha Qualls, the daughter of Elijha Qualls and Angie Phillips, had already formed her opinion.

“It’s horrible,” she said. “We’ll have to do all this work and then when the new year comes we’ll have to put it all back. I feel sad for the teach-ers. The damage is going to be horrible.”

Meanwhile the flood was on everyone’s mind.

“I lived up at Eagle Lake so I’m kind of used to it, but not at school,” said Redwood GATES teacher Linda Williams. “It’s all over stressful on the kids and teachers. You’ve just got to do it, buckle down and get ’er done.”

Meeting tonightRedwood Elementary

parents are urged to at-tend a meeting at 6 at Sherman Avenue Elemen-tary to discuss plans to close Redwood Friday and relocate students to Sher-man Avenue and Warren Central Intermediate.

fected by flooding will be available at all district schools, the district’s ad-ministrative offices, the United Way, Red Cross or online at www.applyfor-lunch.com

Even before the carnage inside Kabul airport was sorted and iden-tified, before the squads of sober officers were deployed to inform stateside next of kin, and before the caskets were filled, closed and draped with flags for the final flight home, this much we knew: Another Afghan Muslim “partner” in uni-form — a veteran Air Force pilot — had opened fire on NATO trainers in a meeting, killing eight U.S. mili-tary personnel and an American contractor.

Question: Will our U.S. represen-tatives — and those of the deceased — pay attention to this latest Afghan attack on Americans? If so, will they a) yawn; b) cluck; c) raise hell; d) none of the above?

The fact is, these murders are not “just one of those things” — the unfortunate outcome of a “dis-agreement,” or even “financial pressures” as mentioned, straight-faced, in early reports. These ritu-alistic murders of Westerners, like similar assaults before them, are the most shocking manifestations of our foundationally flawed policy of nation-building in the Islamic world. They are some of the flesh-and-blood sacrifices to the make-

believe “Democracy Project,” whose postmodern-day missionar-ies believe must be advanced on the backs of the U.S. military accord-ing to the quasi-holy doctrine of counterinsurgency.

It’s way past time to call it off. The simplest reason is because it’s crazy, and probably literally so in a certifiable sense. We, the people, have empowered elected officials to order our military forces to risk their lives not for our country but for a theory. A theory based on the absurd premise that the Western way is also the “universal” way. A theory whose practitioners must suppress logic, historical knowl-edge, moral principle and, most basic of all, survival instinct. And

that’s crazy. Consider this evidence from the

Clarksville (Tenn.) Leaf Chronicle. The newspaper sent a reporter to witness a bizarre event that tragi-cally defines our age: a Fort Camp-bell send-off for troops en route to Afghanistan to “partner” with Afghan “allies,” one of whom had just killed five U.S. troops, also from Fort Campbell (a separate kill-ing spree). The story’s headline is “NCOs offer stern message for war-bound soldiers.” That message is, “Don’t trust anyone but you still have to partner up.”

The crazy thing is, “trust” is the essence of “partnering up,” par-ticularly when live ammunition is involved. Which is why this order,

this policy, is irrational. Pvt. Buddy McLain knew as much. In late 2010, the 24-year-old expressed misgiv-ings about arming Afghan train-ees to his wife; one week later, he and five other U.S. troops (also from Fort Campbell) were dead, murdered by one such “partner” after drinking tea with him. End of story? Nope. Where our leaders are concerned, it was just another chapter.

The Leaf Chronicle reporter tried to explain the inexplicable: “Those twin messages can seem confus-ing to a 19-year-old soldier, which is why the senior noncommissioned officers will have to train the junior NCOs to deliver both messages effectively and maintain the bal-ance the mission requires.”

In other words, the U.S. military will have to make schizophrenia the new normal. And that’s really crazy. Ex-Marine John Bernard of the blog Let Them Fight pointed out to me that nowhere else in society does “doing your job require this dual mentality.” Bernard, whose son Lance Cpl. Joshua Bernard was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010, further noted that such frac-tured orders are “an indication of

just how convoluted ... the entire mission is.” After all, he added, Afghan army and police “are from that segment of society that we had already deemed to be the good guys and should have an expectation of peaceful coexistence. We don’t.” Our soldiers “should not be deal-ing with this level of uncertainty at this state in the operation, period.” If the strategy were correct to begin with, he explained, we would have already defeated the enemy.

What, if anything, will Congress do about this scandal? So far, we see nothing but almost heel-clicking adulation, inexhaustible patience and an open purse for the generals, the policymakers and their crazy strategy. But how many more U.S. troops will die in an airport office or at a tea table “mentoring” a never-never Afghan security force that our exit supposedly depends on before lawmakers notice the whole big, beautiful theory just isn’t work-ing? Is it really too much for them to hold a hearing to try to find out why not, who’s responsible and what we should do instead?

Debt ceilingStandard & Poor’s change in its

long-term outlook for U.S. gov-ernment debt from “stable” to “negative” sends a clear message that Congress and the White House need to get serious about deficit and debt.

But what it doesn’t signal is an excuse for Congress to duck rais-ing the debt ceiling, the latest sticking point in the Beltway’s incessantly ideological budget wars.

Raising the debt ceiling is the equivalent of giving ourselves the wiggle room to pay the debts we’ve already accumulated. It’s been done 74 times in the past 50 years.

That this has become so routine is a signal that spending must be reined in — but wisely and with sacrifice not dominantly directed at those least able to sacrifice.

The U.S. debt did not occur

overnight; fixing it won’t be accomplished overnight, either.

There are consequences for not raising the ceiling by the May 16 deadline. Raising the ceiling authorizes the federal govern-ment to borrow beyond the cur-rently authorized $14.3 trillion. If this is not done, the country could default on its debt interest payments by July.

This would be tantamount to you simply refusing to pay your credit card debt. Tempting, but not prudent.

Here’s what fixing spending and debt will require: maturity and cooperation. “Good luck with that,” most of you are undoubt-edly thinking right now.

The GOP budget plan tack-les entitlements — though not wisely — and the White House plan largely punts on this, also unwisely. A bipartisan panel has

been formed to tackle the issue.Good, because Standard &

Poor’s is essentially saying that the brinkmanship cannot continue.

Common sense dictates that Standard & Poor’s is on target with its revision, though its cred-ibility has been legitimately questioned of late. A recent U.S. Senate investigation found that Standard & Poor’s inflated rat-ings on mortgage-backed secu-rities for its own profit, down-grading the ratings later. This decimated the securities’ value and allegedly contributed to the nation’s fiscal crisis.

And, still, debt in the trillions in perpetuity is not sustainable. Nei-ther is spending money we don’t have over the same period.

But the first step is to pay the bills. And that requires raising the debt ceiling.

Raising it not popular, but prudent

Inmates:MDOC failedto publicizelethal drugBy Jack Elliott Jr.The Associated Press

JACKSON — Attorneys for three death row inmates, including a man who is sched-uled to be executed Tues-day, contend the Mississippi Department of Corrections failed to properly publicize as required by law its switch to a new lethal injection drug.

Benny Joe Stevens, Rodney Gray and Robert Simon Jr. said in documents filed Tues-day with the Mississippi Supreme Court that MDOC failed to follow the Adminis-trative Procedures Act. Ste-vens is set to be executed Tuesday.

The 2003 law requires state agencies to notify the public of proposed rule and regulation changes. The law gives citi-zens the right to offer opinions on proposed changes to rules and regulations, ask for hear-ings and request official opin-ions from state agencies.

The inmates contend they cannot be executed because MDOC never published the change in its regulations cov-ering executions as required by law.

Gray is scheduled to be exe-cuted May 17. A motion to set an execution date for Simon is pending before the Supreme Court while it awaits a deter-mination on whether a fall has rendered Simon incompetent for execution.

MDOC officials said in April that they would switch to a different drug, pentobarbital, for the state’s next execution due to a nationwide shortage of one drug it has used in the past.

Jackson attorney David Neil McCarty, who represents the inmates, said in the motion that Stevens and the others were not challenging the MDOC’s decision to use a dif-ferent drug but its failure to notify the public through the Administrative Procedures Act. McCarty said that until MDOC does so, it cannot per-form any executions.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — A yellow mutt named Chance sniffs through the splintered limbs of a toppled tree and sits down near a piece of carpet that came from someone’s home. It’s his way of telling handler Tracy Sargent that human remains are nearby.

Such scenes are common as hope fades for finding survi-vors a week after tornadoes ravaged the South, killing 329 people in seven states and leaving an uncertain number missing or unaccounted for when entire communities were ripped from their foun-dations and thrown across hollows and hills. In Tusca-loosa alone, officials say, more than two dozen dog teams are searching a massive debris field that stretches for miles, and still more could arrive.

Chance didn’t find a body this time Wednesday. The animals commonly called cadaver-sniffing dogs are trained to detect any human remains, and Sargent suspected there was blood on the rug fragment that caught Chance’s attention. The dogs’ noses are so sensi-tive that it doesn’t take much for them to alert handlers to decaying human tissue includ-ing blood drops, which fell all over town from about 1,000 people being injured.

Earlier this week, Chance and another of Sargent’s dogs located the body of a Univer-sity of Alabama student as his grieving father watched. It only took the dogs minutes to locate the remains in a maze of twisted trees and debris that had been searched by humans for hours.

“(The father) went over there and bent over and touched his son and started talking to him. And he hugged him, started crying, and told him that he loved him and that he would

miss him,” said Sargent. “That in itself is why we do what we do.”

The body was found about 300 yards from the concrete slab that had been the stu-dent’s home, an indication of the difficulty searchers have even knowing where to look.

It’s uncertain when the last survivor was pulled from the rubble in Tuscaloosa, where officials say 41 people were killed when an EF-4 tornado with winds up to 190 mph mowed down some of the city’s most densely populated neigh-borhoods. Some people listed as “recovered” actually just showed up at hospitals or aid stations after being considered missing, fire officials say.

Mayor Walt Maddox fears there aren’t many survivors left to rescue. Officials say 30 people are listed as missing in the city, and eight of those are of particular concern because they’d been seen in the area within two weeks before the storm.

Fire Chief Alan Martin said that despite multiple sweeps, not a single neighborhood or community hammered by the storm had been searched thor-oughly enough to eliminate it from the grids used by teams to plot their day’s work.

La. seeks large shareof oil spill liability money

BATON ROUGE (AP) — State officials say Loui-siana was hurt more than other states by the Deepwa-ter Horizon oil spill, and so should get more money than other states from companies responsible for the disaster.

Garret Graves, who leads the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Author-ity, told state lawmakers Wednesday that the state opposes such funds going to the federal Oil Spill Liabil-ity Trust Fund, given that 60-90 percent of the oil spill’s

impacts have occurred on coastal Louisiana.

“This would be the federal government literally profit-ing from the injury that was experienced in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast,” Graves said.

Rep. Joe Harrison, a Repub-lican from Houma, agreed.

“We incurred the major-ity of the damage by far,” he said.

Bin LadenPresident seals lid on photos

of slain 9/11 mastermindWASHINGTON (AP) —

President Barack Obama ordered grisly photographs of Osama bin Laden in death sealed from public view on Wednesday, declaring, “We don’t need to spike the foot-ball” in triumph after this week’s daring middle-of-the-night raid. The terrorist leader was killed by American commandos wh o b u r st into his room and feared he was reaching for a nearby weapon, U.S. officials said.

Several weapons were found in the room where the terror chief died, including AK-47 assault rifles and side arms, the offi-cials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they offered the most recent in a series of increasingly detailed and sometimes-shift-ing accounts of bin Laden’s final minutes after a decade on the run.

Obama said releasing the photographs taken by the Navy SEAL raiders was “not who we are” as a country. Though some may deny his death, “the fact of the matter

is you will not see bin Laden walking this earth again,” the president said in an interview taped for CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

He said any release of the photos could become a pro-paganda tool for bin Laden’s adherents.

White House press sec-retary Jay Carney said the president’s decision applied to photographs of bin Laden, said to show a portion of his skull blown away from a gun-shot wound to the area of his left eye, as well as to a video recording of his burial several hours later in the North Ara-bian Sea.

The president made no public remarks during the day about the raid, apart from the taped interview. But he arranged a visit for today to ground zero in Manhattan, where the World Trade Center twin towers once stood.

After two days of shift-ing accounts of the dramatic raid, Carney said he would no longer provide details of the 40-minute operation by the team of elite Navy SEALs. That left unresolved numerous mysteries, prominent among them an exact accounting of bin Laden’s demise. Officials have said he was unarmed but resisted when an unknown number of commandos burst into his room inside the high-security compound.

The officials who gave the latest details said a U.S. com-mando grabbed a woman who charged toward the SEALs inside the room. They said the raiders were concerned that she might be wearing a suicide vest.

Bin Laden had evaded cap-ture for nearly a decade, and officials said he had currency as well as two telephone num-bers sewn into his clothing when he was killed, suggest-ing he was prepared to leave on a moment’s notice.

Pakistan to U.S.: No more surprisesISLAMABAD (AP) — Paki-

stan warned America today of “disastrous consequences” if it carries out any more unauthorized raids against suspected terrorists.

However, the government in Islamabad stopped short of labeling Monday’s helicopter raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound not far from the capital Islam-abad as an illegal operation and insisted relations between Washington and Islamabad remain on course.

The army and the govern-

ment have come under criti-cism for allowing the country’s sovereignty to be violated. Some doubt government claims that it was not aware of the raid until it was over.

Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir’s remarks seemed to be aimed at that criticism.

“The Pakistan security forces are neither incompe-tent nor negligent about their sacred duty to protect Paki-stan,” he said. “There shall not be any doubt that any repeti-tion of such an act will have disastrous consequences.”

Bashir repeated Pakistani claims that it did not know anything about the raid until it was too late to stop it.

American officials have said they didn’t inform Pakistan in advance, fearing bin Laden could be tipped off. Asked whether it was illegal, Bashir said only “that is for histori-ans to judge.”

Clinton draws blank on expression’s meaningROME (AP) — U.S. Secre-

tary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said today she has “no idea” what she and the rest of President Barack Obama’s national security team were watching when a photog-rapher snapped what has become an iconic image.

“Those were 38 of the most intense minutes,“ Clinton said of the raid on Osama bin Lad-en’s compound by U.S. Navy SEALs. ‘I have no idea what

any of us were looking at at that particular millisecond.”

The photo was taken by the White House photographer

Sunday night as Obama and his national security team monitored the assault. Clin-ton is covering her mouth with her right hand, but she said today that the gesture might not convey any special significance.

“I am somewhat sheepishly concerned that it was my pre-venting one of my early spring allergic coughs,” she said. “So, it may have no great meaning whatsoever.”

Q: Nine years ago my step-daughter was in financial straights and offered my wife some material goods along with a week at her time-share in exchange for money.

My wife has paid the main-tenance fees and we used it on the exchange program for other time-share units. Recently,

I discovered that my step-daughter had interfered with this transaction by way of a quitclaim deed to my wife and me. At no time did my wife or I sign any kind of contract agreeing to ownership. Yet, the time-share company has recognized us as the owners by virtue of the quitclaim deed and my wife’s tendering of the maintenance fees. Since we didn’t sign any contract, are we lawfully the obligated owners? Can we at least walk away from ownership? — B.E., via e-mail

A: I am sure as long as the

time-share folks were receiv-ing fees they should have no problem with “your owner-ship.” Whether you legally own this is quite another matter. A quitclaim deed is generally restricted to real estate matters, and whether you actually “own” any real estate in this time-share is open for some serious ques-tioning. Once again, if worse comes to worse, the worst thing that can happen is when you stop making the pay-ments they can threaten to sue you and so forth. Person-ally, I would rather get a legal opinion before I did anything. This is another case of act in haste, repent in leisure. In my opinion there is no enforce-able ownership because noth-ing has been executed but that would be tempered by the fact that you got into an exchange program with them for other time-shares. They’re at least acknowledging ownership. It gets a bit tricky but before I do anything, I would run it past my attorney.

20 Iraqi police dead in suicide blastBAGHDAD — A suicide car

bomber rammed his explo-sive-packed vehicle into a barrier outside a police build-ing in central Iraq this morn-ing, killing 20 police officers and wounding dozens more, a local councilman said.

The blast is the second sig-nificant attack in Iraq since the death of Osama bin Laden Monday at the hands of a U.S. commando team in Pakistan. Iraqis have been on edge, waiting for al-Qaida’s branch in Iraq to strike back as a way to demonstrate it is still dangerous.

Iraqi officials have said they are increasing security in the wake of bin Laden’s killing.

Interior chief getsbehind Latino museum

WASHINGTON — Inte-rior Secretary Ken Salazar is endorsing a federal commis-sion’s call to build a national museum devoted to Ameri-can Latino art, history and culture next to the Capitol as part of the Smithsonian Institution.

Salazar said today he would urge Congress to approve

creation of the museum. He said such a building on the Capitol’s grounds would be in keeping with the National Park Service’s plan for the National Mall, which calls for overhauling the nearby Capi-tol reflecting pool as a civic square.

Many contributions of the nation’s Latinos, dating back to before the nation’s found-ing, have never been recog-nized, and they deserve a space on the National Mall among the nation’s top cul-tural attractions, Salazar said.

Freddie Mac reports1st gain in 2 years

WASHINGTON — Freddie Mac earned $676 million in the January-March quarter, the first time the bailed-out mortgage giant has reported a quarterly gain in nearly two years.

The government-controlled company requested no addi-tional federal aid Wednes-

day after receiving $13 billion over the past four quarters.

CEO Charles Haldeman attributed the net income to cost savings and fewer sin-gle-family homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgages. Tighter lend-ing requirements have also helped increase the quality of Freddie’s new loans.

Still, Freddie has lost $25.3 billion in the previous six quarters, and analysts don’t expect the company to report sustained earnings this year.

U.S. on track to haverecord measles cases

ATLANTA — The United States seems to be on track to have more measles cases than any year in more than a decade, with virtually all cases linked to other coun-tries, including Europe where there’s a big outbreak.

Already there have been 89 cases reported. The U.S.

normally sees only about 50 cases of measles in a year thanks to vaccinations.

Health officials are reluc-tant to make predictions, but acknowledge the pace of reports is unusually hot.

“It’s hard to say, but we’re certainly getting a lot,” said Dr. Greg Wallace, who leads the measles, mumps, rubella and polio team at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Europe, especially France, has been hit hard by mea-sles, with more than 6,500 cases reported in 33 nations. International health officials are blaming it on the failure to vaccinate all children.

Just about all U.S. out-breaks were sparked by people bringing it here from other countries. This week, international health officials posted an alert urging travel-ers to get the recommended two doses of vaccine before flying overseas.

along with the mighty river, even though it could be a week or two before some of the most severe fl ooding hits.

Up and down the Big Muddy,

farmers braced for a repeat of the desperate strategy employed earlier this week in Missouri, where Army engi-neers blew up a levee and sac-rifi ced vast stretches of farm-land to protect populated areas upstream.

“I’ve never seen it this bad,”

said 78-year-old Joe Harrison, who has lived in the same house in Hickman since he was 11 months old. Floodwa-ters turned his house into an island — dry but surrounded by water. He uses a boat to get to his car on nearby dry.

On Wednesday, the Missis-

sippi eclipsed the 46-foot mark set in 1937 in Caruthersville, Mo., and the water was still rising, with a crest of 49.5 feet forecast for Sunday.

But because of the system of levees and locks built since the flood disasters of 1927 and 1937, fl ooding this time is

unlikely to be anywhere near as devastating.

“We have a high confi dence in our levees, but in the sense of transparency, we have to say that the levees have not been tested,” Shelby County Emer-gency Management Director Bob Nations said in Memphis.

NationContinued from Page A1.

Water is expected to cross U.S. 61 north of Vicksburg at Redwood and overtop the 28-mile Yazoo Backwater Levee, according to estimates released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Corps was to begin work today to reinforce the base of the levee so it could stand up to water higher than 50 feet for a month.

Water is expected to inun-date the lowest-lying areas between the river and U.S. 61 South, extend east along the Big Black River all the way to Fisher Ferry Road.

Along Glass, Stouts and Hatcher bayous in Vicks-burg, neighborhoods usu-ally safe from river fl ooding, including Hamilton Heights off Halls Ferry Road, resi-dents were beginning to see water back up.

“I’m sure it will back up into some of the creeks,” Vicksburg Public Works Director Garnet Van Norman said. “To exactly what point, I don’t know.”

At Ergon’s grain elevator on Levee Street this morn-ing, up to 20 18-wheelers loaded with corn were lined up after speeded-up har-vests in fi elds in Warren and Issaquena counties.

The decision to open the city’s fi rst shelter, at Hawk-ins United Methodist Church on Halls Ferry Road, came earlier than the American Red Cross planned because of calls the local offi ce took concerning power shutoffs in affected areas, said Janice Sawyer, local emergency ser-vices coordinator.

“I held off as long as I

could,” Sawyer said. “But, when you have people having their power shut off, we must ensure we opened it.”

“If they see anybody who might be in jeopardy is another one of the rea-sons for the shutdown,”

Mayor Paul Winfi eld said of Entergy, as he met Wednes-day night with about 80 people at the Kings Empow-erment Center.

A similar meeting is sched-uled tonight at 6 at Warren-ton Elementary for residents

of south Vicksburg. Volunteers with Ameri-

Corps have visited 264 homes in Vicksburg to notify resi-dents in fl ood-prone areas and take basic information, the service program said in a release Wednesday.

Vicksburg police have escorted the volunteer teams.

Gates at Steele Bayou will be closed until at least mid-June as water recedes slowly from the record crest, Robert Simrall, chief of the Corps of Engineers Vicksburg Dis-trict’s Water Control Divi-sion, told about 1,000 people at a meeting Wednesday in Rolling Fork. Stages this morning were 89.2 feet on the land side of the structure and 96.2 feet on the river side.

The Yazoo River at Yazoo City was 30.6 feet this morn-ing, up seven-tenths of a foot and 1.6 feet above fl ood stage.

“We feel very confi dent in the mainline Mississippi River levee,” said Peter Nimrod, engineer for the Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners.

Gates are open on the Muddy Bayou Control Struc-ture, fi lling Eagle Lake to 90 feet from its ideal level of 76.9 feet and relieving pres-sure on the Buck Chute levee while a berm to enclose sand boils is built below.

The lake’s stage was 82.7 feet this morning, up 1.4 feet.

The berm there and the fi lling of Eagle Lake to ease water pressure are having a desired effect, Nimrod added. Some water has seeped through the mainline Missis-sippi River levee, but no sand boils have been detected, he said. The entire mainline levee system is to close to vehicles Saturday.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER FLOOD 2011

Commission executive direc-tor Wayne Mansfi eld said.

Casinos in Vicksburg remain open while the river rises. The Mississippi Gaming Commission has said the fi ve facilities will close when parking and safety become issues.

DiamondJacks Casino’s barge was raised this week.

Ameristar Casino expected to be closed for 10 days to two weeks once it comes to that, the company said in a release Wednesday.

The casino was placed on a concrete foundation in 2007, though a 57.5-foot crest would top the current design, the company said.

“If we are forced to shut

down operations at the prop-erty, we are hopeful the clo-sure will be short-lived and that any damage will not be signifi cant,” said CEO Gordon Kanofsky in the release.

Water was lapping near Rainbow Casino, off Warren-ton Road, but that company and Riverwalk, the highest

of the city’s fi ve casinos, had made no public statements on closures.

Grand Station Casino, for-merly Horizon — on the Yazoo Dirversion Canal at City Front — was noticeably higher in its cofferdam. That company, too, has made no statement.

President Barack Obama

on Wednesday declared Warren and 10 other coun-ties federal disaster areas, making them eligible for recovery loans and unem-ployment benefi ts.

Funds secured by busi-nesses to rebuild infrastruc-ture and by employees to fi ll gaps in weekly wages will be on a disaster-related track.

Churches to houseflood evacuees

Vicksburg churches that housed evacuees of hurri-canes in the past decade will be used again, said Beverly Connelly, manager of the Red Cross’ Cherry Street offi ce.

Hawkins United Method-ist Church, 3736 Halls Ferry Road, was opened today. Pre-paring to open are Bovina Baptist Church on U.S. 80; Calvary Baptist Church, 2878 Mississippi 27; Church of Christ, 3333 N. Front-age Road; and First Baptist Church, 1607 Cherry St.

Vicksburg Convention Center and Vicksburg Auditorium will be used as backup shelters.

Loans, grants readyfor flood victims

Loans and grants for indi-viduals and local govern-ments with fl ood damage are available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development arm.

Loan programs allow low-income people to buy, build or repair homes.

Warren County residents may contact the USDA’s ser-vice center in Hazlehurst at 601-894-1118 for more infor-mation on Rural Develop-ment programs.

U.S. mail availableat post office

Residents of all areas dis-placed by the 2011 fl ooding may pick up their U.S. mail at the Vicksburg Post Offi ce at 3415 Pemberton Square Blvd.

The window at the post offi ce is open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday-Satur-day, a U.S. Postal Service news release said. Proper identifi cation is required.

Furniture storagefacilities offered

Free temporary storage is available at two locations.

Diana Cannon, owner of River Chicks at 1108 Wash-ington St., has areas avail-able for mattresses and other household items. She can be reached at 601-281-8860.

The United Way of West Central Mississippi has space in its basement, executive director Barbara Tolliver said. Items as large as sofas will be accepted. “If they can get it in the door, they can store it,” Tolliver said. United Way’s phone number is 601-636-1733.

Animal response‘overwhelming’

The response to fi nd new homes for displaced pets has been overwhelming, PAWS Rescue president Leigh Con-erly said this morning.

She said the need is still great, however, and anyone interested in donating food, money or adopting a pet can call her at 601-529-1535. Food also can be delivered to Vicksburg Animal Clinic on U.S. 61 North.

The Vicksburg-Warren Humane Society picked up 15 chickens and a cat from Eagle Lake on Wednesday. Director Georgia Lynn said the ASPCA is giving the humane society a grant to build a small chicken coop.

Vicksburg city-run animal shelter, which is in danger of fl ooding, has found spots for some animals, but still has 20 to 25 at the facility on Mill Road.

Salvation Armydelays annual luau

The Salvation Army Wom-en’s Auxiliary is postponing its annual luau.

The fundraiser had been set for May 24 at Riverfront Park.

The postponement is to allow Salvation Army volun-teers to help with fl ood relief efforts, organizers said in an e-mail, and because they fear access to the park could be cut off.

SIdElINESMendenhall triesto make amends

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall wrote a “clarification” of his comments made Monday on Twitter re-garding the death of Osa-ma bin Laden.

In a tweet posted around 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, he linked to an in-depth blog post. In that entry, he wrote that he does not support bin Laden, and that he aimed clear things up, for not only himself, but also the Steelers.

On Monday, Pitts-burgh’s leading rusher caused enough of a stir with his tweets, that the Steelers felt compelled to release a statement.

Among Mendenhall’s posts, the day after the bin Laden news broke, was: “What kind of per-son celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side...” He also tweeted on the Sept. 11 attacks: “We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believ-ing a plane could take a skyscraper down demoli-tion style.”

Wednesday’s offering, though, was a different story.

“I appreciate those of you who have decided to read this letter and attain a greater under-standing of my recent Twitter posts. I see how they have gotten mis-construed, and wanted to use this outlet as a way to clear up all things that do not truthfully repre-sent myself, what I stand for personally, and any organization that I am a part of.”

GoldenEagles

roll pastJaguars

From staff reports

B.A. Vollmuth drove in four runs and Josh Thoma-son quieted an early South Alabama offensive explo-sion as Southern Miss cap-tured a 7-4 decision at Eddie Stanky Field in Mobile on Wednesday.

The Golden Eagles (33-11) captured their final regular-season, non-conference tilt to sweep the two-game season series with the Jaguars.

Vollmuth, Tyler Koelling and Ashley Graeter each had two hits to pace the nine-hit Southern Miss attack.

It was Vollmuth that put USM up early with his 11th home run of the season, a two-run shot, to put give the visitors an early 2-0 advan-tage. It was Vollmuth’s first home runs since April 10.

The Jaguars, though, answered with two more runs in the bottom of the first and another in the second and third before chasing Golden Eagle starter Dillon Day from the contest. Day gave up four runs on six hits and a walk with two strike-outs over two-plus innings.

Thomason then came in to quiet the USA bats by retir-ing 20 of 22 batters that he faced down the stretch. He allowed just a third-inning single and a fourth inning walk, before setting down the final 16 batters of the game.

The junior from Oxford improved to 2-1 as he had his longest outing of seven innings. He struck out a sea-son-high five.

Down 4-2 in the fifth, the Golden Eagles rallied for three runs to take the lead for good. With one out, Graeter and Kameron Brunty each drew walks. The Jaguars went to the bullpen and Tyler Koelling greeted Jeff Miller with a RBI double to right-centerfield. Vollmuth then doubled down the left-field line to score two runs and put Southern Miss ahead for good.

USM added another run in the sixth on a Graeter run-scoring single and one in the seventh on a based loaded walk to Jared Bales.

Miller took the loss for the Jaguars.

County football teams prepare for season with early drillsBy Ernest [email protected]

Pads crackle and the sun provides a blinding glint off shiny plastic helmets. In the middle of the field, a giant water tank sits like a tempt-ing oasis as players fever-ishly work toward their hard-earned trip to it.

It’ll be another three months before Warren Coun-ty’s football teams return to the practice field in earnest for two-a-days and the final run-up to the 2011 season. For now, however, spring practice is the main event. It’s a chance for coaches to evaluate players, play-ers to make an impression with their coaches, and both

groups to set the tone for what they hope will be a suc-cessful year.

“It gets you back in a groove. Spring training is at the right time. Those 15 days are to try and get you better,” Vicksburg High coach Alonzo Stevens said. “You’ve got to take this momentum on through. It’s like a snow-ball. You want to grab on now and move on and on.”

Each program is allowed to conduct organized practice for three weeks, concluding with a spring scrimmage or multiple-team jamboree.

By the time practice begins again in August, any rhythm gained from May’s work-outs will be lost. Condition-ing goes on year-round.

What is gained from this period is a sense of where a team stands, especially when there’s a lot of new faces.

Warren Central only returns nine of its 22 start-ers from last season, and has 93 players on the roster — a vast increase from recent years. Sifting through them and finding who best fits where is a chore, coach Josh Morgan said.

“Right now, we are doing a lot of teaching and evaluat-ing. Trying to see who can do what and make sure we get them in the right places,” Morgan said. “Across the board, there’s so many spots available and so many spots we’re trying to find answers to.”

Other coaches are using the practices to tinker with their lineups. St. Aloysius is break-ing in a new full-time quar-terback, sophomore Carlisle Koestler, while Vicksburg is trying to find a replace-ment for departed tailback Kawayne Gaston and shore up a leaky defense.

“We’ve got four or five kids that can be big-time ballplay-ers,” Stevens said. “(Darius) Youngblood is going to give us a different-type running back. He’s a slasher, but he has all the tools. He’s small, but quick.”

Gaston, who transferred to Porters Chapel Acad-emy in December, rushed

Head injury issue puts football at a crossroadsOnce upon a time, a head

hit was a laughing matter in football.

Old-timers told stories about how they went back into the big game after being knocked out, awakened by smelling salts and unable to figure out which was the right sideline to join.

It was a mark of honor to knock someone out of a game, literally, with a mind-jarring blow to the head.

Now, it is no longer just “part of the game.” It is a serious issue that could threaten the future of the sport at all levels.

Football has faced a crisis like this before. In the game’s infancy, President Theo-dore Roosevelt threatened to outlaw the game after 19 players died in the 1905 season.

Before the number of play-ers on the field was reduced from 15 to 11 and rules changes — such as banning the “flying wedge” formation of interlocked players, the forward pass and the man-dating of helmets — made the sport the safer, football made cage fighting seem civilized.

Roosevelt’s threat also led to the formation of the NCAA to regulate what had been a chaotic sport.

Now football faces similar jeopardy.

The suicide in Febru-ary and later analysis of the donated brain tissue of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson was just another symptom of a serious problem in a game enjoyed by millions.

Scientists have concluded that repeated head hits can lead to serious, long-term brain injury. Football is a sport of violent collisions and some of them are leading to debilitating brain injuries. With athletes bigger, stron-ger and faster than ever, the amount of force in these col-lisions has only increased.

The governing bodies at all levels of football have made some positive steps as far as dealing with this very seri-ous problem. Coaches have

made a serious effort to teach proper tackling tech-nique and officials, armed with new rules, are penaliz-ing those who engage in hel-met-to-helmet hits.

Equipment manufactur-ers are busily researching and prototyping helmets designed to cushion the high-speed impacts to the head.

The question is — will it be enough?

Football is the greatest of games. It teaches youngsters discipline, pride, effort and teamwork. It uses every size and shape of athlete. The end-less strategic permutations of formations and plays are more science than art. With its ide-ally timed play stoppages, it is perfect fodder for TV rat-ings gold.

But is this game worth whole generations of players

subjected to horrible brain, spinal and other injuries? Is it worth the cost of even one good man’s life?

Duerson, who shot himself in the chest and asked that his brain be donated to the Center for the Study of Trau-matic Encephalopathy at Boston University’s School of Medicine, knew what the post-mortem analysis of his brain tissue confirmed.

The game that he loved resulted in his torment and death.

Football is at a crossroads. If it can’t be made safer, it might not need to exist.

It is just a game, after all.•

The Mississippi Braves and Chat-tanooga Lookouts split a double-header on Wednesday at AT&T Field. The Braves won game one 3-1, while the Lookouts took the second 7-6 in ten innings.

Game 1 was a pitcher’s duel. Scoreless going into the seventh and final frame, Tyler Pastornicky hit a three-run home run to put the M-Braves (10-17) ahead 3-0, his first home run of the season. Randall Delgado (2-1) went the distance in the victory, giving up just two hits and an inconsequential seventh inning run. In game 2, Mississippi battled back from a 5-0 deficit in the sixth to tie the game, scoring all five runs with two outs. Chattanooga (14-13) retook the lead in the bottom of the sixth, but with two outs in the seventh, Pastornicky hit his second home run of the day to tie the game at 6. Alfredo Silverio drove in the winning run in the 10th to end the game.

college sPorTsJustice Department asksNCAA about playoff system

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has sent a pointed letter to the NCAA asking why there isn’t a playoff system for col-lege football.

The department has been urged to launch an antitrust investigation into college football’s Bowl Cham-pionship Series, to ensure that some schools don’t get preferential treatment in access to the national championship game.

The Justice Department’s anti-trust chief, Christine Varney, asked NCAA President Mark Emmert what steps have been taken toward a playoff system.

Varney told Emmert that his views would help the department decide the “best course of action” with the BCS. BCS executive direc-tor Bill Hancock says he’s confi-dent that the BCS complies with the law. The NCAA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Boise State hithard with sanctions

BOISE, Idaho — Boise State foot-ball coach Chris Petersen, in the wake of a series of NCAA viola-tions, will have fewer scholarships to hand out in the next two years and less time on the practice field to prepare for tough season open-ers against Georgia this fall and Michigan State in 2012.

The sanctions already imposed on the Broncos football team are part of a broader penalty package put in place by university officials this week for men’s and women’s tennis and track and field after an NCAA inquiry identified nearly two dozen violations by coaches in those sports.

Braves earn a doubleheader sweepATLANTA (AP) — Tim

Hudson was close to perfec-tion on the mound.

Nate McLouth was perfect at the plate.

Hudson pitched a one-hitter, facing only two batters above the minimum, and the Atlanta Braves ruined the Milwaukee debut of Zack Greinke, rock-ing the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner in a 8-0 victory Wednesday night to complete a doubleheader sweep of the Brewers.

The Braves romped in the first game, too, winning 8-3. McLouth reached in all eight of his plate appearances over the two games, going 5-for-5 with three walks, and he broke open the nightcap with a two-run homer.

But Hudson (4-2) was the star of the twinbill, nearly match-ing Francisco Liriano’s no-hit-ter the previous evening for Minnesota. The right-hander retired his first nine hitters before Rickie Weeks led off the fourth with a double. He was the only Brewers player to reach base, also drawing a two-out walk in the ninth.

Only four of Hudson’s outs came on fly balls, his sinker working to perfection. He posted his 12th career shut-out and first complete-game win since May 2, 2008, against Cincinnati.

“I’m never trying to throw a no-hitter,” he said. “But that was about as close as I feel like I can get.”

McLouth was seemingly in the middle of everything on offense. One of his hits was ini-tially ruled an error, but even that went his way when the official scorer changed the call between games.

“With a doubleheader, it can kind of go one of two ways.

You can have a terrible day or a great day,” McLouth said. “It was a great day.”

Not so for Greinke (0-1), acquired from Kansas City in an offseason trade to bol-ster the Brewers’ chances in the NL Central. He broke a rib playing pickup basketball and began the season on the dis-abled list, setting the tone for a disappointing start to a season in which Milwaukee has been projected as a contender.

After three rehab starts in the minors, Greinke finally got a chance to pitch for the Brew-ers. While he showed good life on his pitches, striking out six, he also struggled with his consistency and got little help from his defense. The Brew-ers committed two errors in the first inning, leading to an unearned run.

Greinke gave up four more runs that were earned, includ-ing McLouth’s homer in a three-run fourth that broke the game open. In all, the right-hander surrendered five hits and walked one before he was lifted after four innings and 86 pitches.

“I guess the end result’s bad. For the most part, I pitched decent,” Greinke said. “The way Hudson was pitching it wouldn’t matter anyway.”

The Braves (17-15) stretched their winning streak to four, moving two games above .500 for the first time since April 4. Milwaukee (13-17) has lost a season-high five in a row and slipped to four games below .500, its lowest point since starting the year 0-4.

The Brewers failed to cover first on a routine sacrifice

attempt in Game 1, and the defense committed three errors in the second game to cap a thoroughly miserable day.

Alex Gonzalez reached in the first on a grounder that was fumbled away by first baseman Prince Fielder. Jason Heyward was awarded first on catcher’s interference, his bat striking Wil Nieves’ glove on the swing for the second straight Milwaukee error. Dan Uggla singled to left to drive in Gonzalez. The Braves manu-factured another run in the second — McLouth walked, Hudson bunted him to second and Martin Prado delivered a two-out hit. Prado had three RBIs in Game 1.

Greinke breezed through a perfect third before the Braves finished him off in the fourth.

Mavericks bury Lakers in a 2-0 series holeBy The Associated Press

The Dallas Mavericks have seen this playoff scenario many times before.

The higher-seeded team is reeling after two embarrass-ing losses, with its tentative play leading to locker-room discord and wholesale fan panic.

It’s just that the Mavs are usually living this nightmare, not causing it for somebody else — and certainly not for the two-time defending NBA champion Lakers, who left Staples Center on Wednes-day night wondering whether they’ll be back this spring.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Shawn Marion added 14 and the Mavericks beat Los Angeles 93-81 in Game 2, taking a 2-0 second-round lead with consecutive road wins.

“If you would have told me before that were going to win both games, that would have been hard to believe,” Now-itzki said. “But I think we earned it.”

Jason Kidd scored 10 points in a balanced scoring effort for the Mavericks, who pushed the Lakers halfway to play-off elimination with Nowitz-ki’s stellar shooting, steady defense and a decisive 9-0 fourth-quarter rally. Dallas did nothing spectacularly well, yet was significantly better than

the cold-shooting Lakers on both ends.

Dallas has endured a decade of playoff disappointment under owner Mark Cuban, including just one playoff

series victory in the previous four postseasons since the Mavericks’ only NBA finals appearance.

Time and again, Nowitzki and his revolving cast of team-

mates have flopped in pres-sure playoff situations — but these taller, tougher Mavs certainly appear primed to change their reputation with two more wins, starting in Game 3 on Friday night in Dallas.

“We talked about it, and this series is far from over,” said Nowitzki, who again proved to be nearly unguardable for the Lakers. “I’ve been around a long time. I’ve been up 2-0 before and ended up losing the series.”

rick Rose scored 25 points, Joakim Noah added 19 points and 14 rebounds, and the Chi-cago Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of the East-ern Conference semifinals to tie the series.

The top-seeded Bulls shook off a dismal performance in the opener and looked more like the team with a league-best 62 wins, building a 14-point lead and ending the game on a 9-2 run after the Hawks got within six.

Jeff Teague had another good game filling in for the injured Kirk Hinrich with 21 points, but Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford struggled after coming up big in the opener for Atlanta.

Belhaven takes conference title over William CareyFrom staff reports

Belhaven captured the Southern States Athletic Con-ference Championship thanks to a 16-5 victory against in-state rival William Carey in the championship game on Wednesday in Columbus, Ga. The Blazers, ranked 21st in the latest NAIA Top 25 Poll, broke the game open with 10 runs in the third inning and never looked back.

Belhaven pounded out 16 hits, with three of them coming from Lake Eiland, who

had three RBIs. Ryan Saun-ders had a grand slam for Belhaven.

Allen Johnson (6-4) earned the win, allowing three runs on seven hits.

Ole Miss 11, Ark. St. 9The Rebels got nine runs on

three swings of the bat as Ole Miss (25-20) got three home runs – including a grand slam from Miles Hamblin – to rally past Arkansas State (22-25) at Tomlinson Field.

Hamblin’s grand slam in the

in the fourth inning tied the game before Matt Snyder hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning to give the Rebels the lead for good. It was Sny-der’s second home run of the night as he hit a two-run shot in the first inning.

Snyder finished the game with a 3-for-4 performance, six RBIs and three runs scored as one of four Rebels to notch multiple-hits on the night.

R.J. Hively (1-2) picked up his first win of the year as he worked a season-long three innings and struck out a sea-

son-high five batters while holding the Red Wolves in check to allow the Rebels a chance to rally. Hively allowed one run on five hits in his time on the mound.

“It’s a tough game and it will challenge you,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. “Just when you think things are about to turn, things can change. We got knocked down a couple of times tonight, but the guys kept getting right back up. I’m proud of the way they hung in there.”

for 1,000 yards at Vicksburg last season. His presence at PCA has caused coach John Weaver to adjust his offense from a pass-oriented scheme to a power-rushing attack.

“We’re going to run the ball, but we’re also going to be effective running the ball,” Weaver said. “We’re going to go more I-formation to where we can give our downhill runners a chance to maxi-mize their potential.”

St. Al is taking an opposite approach. Coach B.J. Smith-hart said improving the passing game will be a point of emphasis next season. Smithhart is also adjusting his defense, switching Sage Lewis from defensive end to linebacker to form a strong tandem with Elliott Bexley.

“We’re hoping they can be something special,” Smith-

hart said.Besides the football side of

things, spring practice is also a chance for teams to spring-board into the “real” season. After this batch of workouts, May and June are filled with conditioning, weightlifting and the camp circuit. Most teams take groups of play-ers to weeklong camps on college campuses or play in 7-on-7 leagues.

July is downtime, then the season begins with the first practice on Aug. 1. The first games will be played Aug. 19.

“We’re setting the tone for how we want our summer and season to go,” Weaver said. “It’s about getting men-tally tough. We want to work on discipline. We’ve got some newcomers and want to work on stuff to get in a routine for summer.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Rory Sabbatini could face sus-pension from the PGA Tour for what was described as a profanity-laced argument with Sean O’Hair during last week’s Zurich Classic in New Orleans.

According to multiple play-ers and officials, it was the second time this year that Sabbatini has run into trouble because of his behavior on the golf course. The first incident was at Riviera in the North-ern Trust Open, where Sab-batini was said to have spoken harshly to a teenage volunteer who was trying to help him find a lost ball.

The players and officials spoke on condition of anonym-ity because the tour keeps all disciplinary matters private.

O’Hair also was in Sabbatini’s group at Riviera. Two people familiar with the incident said the volunteer wrote a five-page letter to the PGA Tour, but Sabbatini escaped punish-ment by offering to apologize to anyone he offended.

Sabbatini won two weeks later at the Honda Classic.

Stewart Cink also played in the group with O’Hair and Sabbatini at Riviera.

“It was raining. It was hard. We were all stressed trying to make the cut, and I think we might have been behind,” Cink said Wednesday. “There were a lot of factors. And then the incident happened.”

Cink didn’t go into details and said it involved “another player in my group,” with-out mentioning Sabbatini by name.

“It was embarrassing for me as a golfer,” Cink said. “He did apologize directly to me. I hope he meant it and he moved on.”

Two people with direct knowledge of the Riviera inci-dent said the teenager placed an empty plastic bottle on foot-high grass right of the fifth green where he thought Sab-batini hit his ball. Sabbatini is said to have berated the youth for affecting his ball, although it turned out the ball was not his. The grass was so dense that three other balls were found, none belonging to Sabbatini.

PGA Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said in an email that the tour was aware of what happened in New Orleans, and that it had responded to the Riviera matter.

“We don’t discuss disciplin-ary matters,” Votaw said.

Two officials said Sabbatini hasn’t been suspended and

that he has 14 days to appeal any discipline. He is playing in the Wells Fargo Champion-ship this week and is expected to play next week at The Play-ers Championship.

Another official said a 30-day suspension would be typical in this case, although he did not know how it would be resolved.

Asked by reporters for com-ment, Sabbatini said, “Com-ment on what? Those crazy rumors going around? Well, I’m playing this week, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much, OK guys?”

Asked if the tour was going to suspend him, he replied, “You’re going based on rumors. How many times do I have to tell you?”

O’Hair, who has missed his last five cuts on tour, with-drew from the tournament Monday. He recently fired his second caddie in four months, and split with swing coach Sean Foley earlier in the week. He could not immediately be reached for comment.

It was not clear what trig-gered the argument between Sabbatini and O’Hair on the 14th hole at the TPC Louisiana last week. Both players missed the cut. Pat Perez was the third player in the group, and when contacted Tuesday eve-ning by The Associated Press, he said, “I can’t really say any-thing. The tour has asked me not to talk about it.”

Two other players who were near Sabbatini’s group in New Orleans said the argument became so heated that Steve Lucas — O’Hair’s father-in-law and caddie — stepped in to keep the dispute from get-ting physical. Lucas is a col-lege basketball referee.

Player confrontations in golf are not uncommon, although they typically are handled pri-vately between players in the locker room or the scoring trailer after the round. What made this unusual is that it happened during the round.

Not so unusual is that it involved Sabbatini, a spunky South African with six career wins.

Sabbatini showed a quick temper in 2005 at the Booz Allen Classic when he became so frustrated with Ben Crane’s pace of play that he played ahead on the 17th hole and walked to the 18th tee as Crane was still in the fairway.

There was a buzz about Sabbatini at Quail Hollow on Wednesday, unrelated to the allegations from the previous tournaments.

Likely PGA suspension looms for Sabbatini

Claude STanley ChouleS, 1901-2011

Last WWI combat vet dies at 110 in AustraliaSYDNEY (AP) — The last

known combat veteran of World War I was defiant of the tolls of time, a centenarian who swam in the sea, twirled across dance floors, and published his first book at 108. He also refused to submit to his place in history, becoming a pacifist who wouldn’t march in parades commemorating wars like the one that made him famous.

Claude Stanley Choules, a man of contradictions, humble spirit and wry humor, died in a Western Australia nursing home today at the age of 110. And though his accomplish-ments were many — including a 41-year military career that spanned two world wars — the man known as “Chuckles” to

his comrades in the Aus-tralian Navy was happiest being known as a dedicated family man.

“ We a l l loved him,” his 84-year-

old daugh-ter Daphne Edinger said. “It’s going to be sad to think of him not being here any longer, but that’s the way things go.”

Choules was born March 3, 1901, in the small British town of Pershore, Worcestershire, one of seven children. As a child, he was told his mother had died — a lie meant to cover a more painful truth: She left

when he was 5 to pursue an acting career. The abandon-ment affected him profoundly, said his other daughter, Anne Pow, and he grew up deter-mined to create a happy home for his own children.

In his autobiography, “The Last of the Last” published just two years ago, he remembered the day the first motor car drove through town, an event that brought all the villagers outside to watch. He remem-bered when a packet of ciga-rettes cost a penny. He remem-bered learning to surf off the coast of South Africa, and how strange he found it that black locals were forced to use a sep-arate beach from whites.

He was drawn to the water at

an early age, fishing and swim-ming at the local brook. Later in life, he would regularly swim in the warm waters off the West-ern Australia state coast, only stopping when he turned 100.

World War I was raging when Choules began training with the British Royal Navy, just one month after he turned 14. In 1917, he joined the battleship HMS Revenge, from which he watched the 1918 surrender of the German High Seas Fleet, the main battle fleet of the German Navy during the war.

“There was no sign of fight left in the Germans as they came out of the mist at about 10 a.m.,” Choules wrote in his autobiography.

Stamp honors 1st Americanin space 50 years later

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The first American in space, Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard, was honored with his own stamp Wednes-day on the eve of the 50th anniversary of his flight.

The Postal Service dedi-cated the Forever stamp Wednesday to commem-orate Shep-ard’s subor-bital flight on May 5, 1961. He is the first astronaut to be honored, all by himself, on a stamp.

Twenty Shepard family members, including the late astronaut’s three daughters, gathered at Kennedy Space Center with more than 100 others for the afternoon ceremony, held in an out-door rocket garden. A rep-lica of the black and white Mercury Redstone rocket that propelled Shepard on his 15-minute journey rose behind the stage.

One of the two surviving Mercury seven astronauts — Scott Carpenter — drew applause when he said he was pleased that a Forever stamp was chosen to honor Shepard. Forever stamps don’t have a value on them and remain valid for first-class postage regardless of rate increases.

“That’s appropriate to the stamp, but it is also appro-priate to the time we should honor and remember Alan B. Shepard and Freedom 7,” said the 86-year-old Carpenter.

Carpenter laughed as he recalled that Shepard didn’t like it that Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin beat him into space by less than a month. But he said the success of Shepard’s flight helped lead

America to the moon.Shepard’s Freedom 7 cap-

sule soared 116 miles and 302 miles from Cape Canaveral. It reached a speed of 5,100 mph before splashing down into the Atlantic.

Barely three weeks later, President John F. Kennedy

committed the nation to land-ing a man on the moon by decade’s end a n d b r i n g -ing him back safely. Shep-ard went on to command Apollo 14 in

1971 and became the fifth man to walk on the moon. He died in 1998 at age 74.

Daughter Julie Shepard Jenkins recalled how her father met with Kennedy at the White House a few days after the flight. While the two were talking, Caroline Kennedy skipped in.

“So John F. Kennedy intro-duced Caroline to the first American into space,” Jen-kins said. “She looked at Daddy and then she looked at her father with a very quizzical look. And she says, ‘Where’s the chimpanzee?’”

Cooper, 88, died from an undisclosed illness Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital, agent Ronnie Leif said. A handsome kid with tousled blond hair and a winning smile, Cooper had a memorable bit in the 1929 musi-cal “Sunny Side Up” and appeared in eight of the popular “Our Gang” comedies, including “Pups Is Pups” and “Teacher’s Pet.” Those credits led to a test that won him the title role of “Skippy.” His other credits included “Sooky” and “The Love Machine.“louis henry Stumberg — The man who co-founded the fro-zen Tex-Mex food pioneer Patio Foods with his father and broth-er in 1946 has died at 87. His son, Herb Stumberg, said his fa-ther died Tuesday at a San Antonio hospital after a long illness. Stumberg said his father and his family founded Patio Mexican Foods in San Antonio in 1946 so wartime Army Air Force train-ees who developed a taste for the city’s Mexican food could have that food available after demobilization. Starting with fro-zen tamales and chili, Patio eventually began selling frozen din-ners in the 1960s.

Source: Gibson’s ex drops violence claimsA source says Mel Gibson’s

former girlfriend has told a judge hearing the couple’s child custody dispute that she is dropping allegations that the Oscar-winner struck her during a fight last year.

The source who is famil-iar with the case says Oksana Grigorieva told a family law judge Wednesday that she was withdrawing all domestic vio-lence allegations against Gib-son from the case. Most of the case is sealed.

The move doesn’t affect a misdemeanor battery case in which the actor-director pleaded no contest in March. His plea didn’t include an admission of guilt and cannot be used against him in a civil lawsuit. He remains on probation and is undergo-ing domestic violence counseling.

Gibson’s attorney, Stephen Kolodny, declined comment.

54-year-old Stephen Craig, a former profes-sional basketball player wed on Wednesday. She said the day is special because it marks the birthdays of both her late mother and her late son, Michael Bryan.

Osmond said it was important for both rela-tives to be with her and her husband on their special day.

Bryan committed suicide last year.Osmond wore the same Ret Turner wedding

dress that she wore during her first ceremony with Craig.

The couple first married in 1982 but divorced three years later.

Stolen cell phone ‘pocket dials’ 911An ill-timed, inadvertent 911 call led police to three larceny

suspects overheard planning break-ins in upstate New York.Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh said police already

looking for a suspicious person got the unlikely assist when one of the men “pocket dialed” his cell phone’s emergency number while driving near the scene of an earlier heist.

As a dispatcher relayed the conversation to deputies, the men discussed their plans, described their surroundings and even commented, “there go the cops now.”

Walsh said that was enough for a deputy to turn around and stop the Kia Sportage full of tools stolen from a business in the Syracuse suburb of Clay. The dispatcher then heard the driver being asked for his license and registration.

The men, arrested April 26 face grand larceny and stolen prop-erty charges.

Husband’s lack of trust might be sign of need for controlDear Abby: I am a marriage

counselor writing in response to the March 22 letter from the man who objected to his wife having dinner with a mutual (male) friend while the writer was on a business trip. I found his signature, “Feeling Cheated On in Illinois,” exces-sive, perhaps even a signal he has an “ownership” attitude toward his spouse, which is associated with controlling behavior. In the absence of any reason to distrust her, why is he so upset?

My husband of 20 years was going to Japan for a week to visit our foster daughter. I was unable to go, so one of my female friends went with

him instead. My husband is attractive, and no doubt has had many opportunities to cheat. I realize many spouses are unfaithful, but you don’t keep them faithful by keep-ing them on a short leash. All that does is make a potential cheater sneakier.

Because spouses who cheat sometimes claim their lovers-in-waiting are “just friends”

doesn’t mean men and women can’t be “just friends.” “Illi-nois” is insecure at best, controlling at worst. I think he should have a one-time appointment with a thera-pist and discuss his expecta-tions of his wife. — Barbara in Maine

Dear Barbara: I heard from readers who have firsthand experience in this subject. And many of them agreed with you. Read on:

Dear Abby: I’m a married woman with single and mar-ried male friends. I go out for lunches and dinners with all of them. Some live out of state and we e-mail often. I also have outings with female

pals, some of whom are lesbi-ans. Illinois needs to figure out why he doesn’t trust his wife and his good friend. My hus-band socializes without me as well. He even goes to lunch sometimes with an old girl-friend. Either you trust your partner or you don’t. — Secure and Happy in California

Dear Abby: I travel often and enjoy dinners with lots of people, both male and female. I’ve dined with my neigh-bor’s husband while we were stranded at an airport trying to get home. Should we have sat at different tables? Imply-ing that this behavior is “ques-tionable” is outrageous. My husband is sometimes invited

to dinner by neighbors when I’m away and I thank them for their kindness. — Julia in Gainesville, Fla.

Dear Abby: I hurt for the wife who is stuck at home “several nights a week.” Why couldn’t her husband just say, “Good for you, you have com-pany!”? Married people can be friends with other married members of the opposite sex.

If Illinois can’t handle that reality, then he should find a job that lets him be home with his wife every night. — Cathy from Cleveland

Clear nail polish also workson woman’s herpes outbreaks

Dear Dr. Gott: First, I want to say that I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time. Then I want to tell you it makes me furious to have every-one assume that a person who has herpes has been promiscuous.

I, too, have herpes out-breaks at a spot on my but-tocks, and there is no doubt in my mind where I got it — at the hospital. Having been monogamous for at least 12 years at the time, I had to have emergency surgery, and the herpes popped up within a week of discharge. The out-break was exactly where I got all my pain shots. The loca-tion migrates just a bit every time it crops up, but it’s never been anywhere close to my genital area, thank heavens. A friend of mine also says she got herpes in the same hospi-tal, years earlier. We’ve been friends for 30 years, and I just found that out last year. Her outbreaks are on her inner thigh, much closer to her knee than to her genitals.

I hope this makes some of your readers feel better.

That said, I want to rec-ommend nail polish to your readers. The dermatologist I went to (because I did not know what the “rash” was) gave me pills and cream that upset my digestive system, so I tried what I use on anything that itches — clear nail polish! Applied three or four times a day, the outbreak will usually be gone by the third day.

Dear Reader: There are a number of different forms of herpes (80, to be exact), referred to as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2).

HSV-1 can cause genital herpes but more commonly causes infection around the

mouth and lips, as in fever blisters. Other areas of the body can be affected, but that’s uncommon. HSV-1 is caused by the herpes simplex virus, and is estimated to be pres-ent in up to 80 percent of the entire American adult popu-lation. Both HSV-1 and -2 can be released from the sores the virus causes but is also released between outbreaks from clear skin that doesn’t appear to be affected at all.

You are correct in that the herpes virus can be con-tracted in a hospital setting. The most common site is the delivery room, where an infected mother might trans-mit the virus to her infant at the time of delivery.

Dr. Wallace: I’m so glad that you encourage your teen readers to have pen pals. Please allow me to share my pen pal experience with them.

My pen pal, Olive, and I start-ed corresponding when we were both 15, which was over 50 years ago. Although we have never met face-to-face, we have grown up together. I consider Olive to be my best friend. We have shared all of our good times, including high school graduation, mar-riage and the birth of our chil-dren — and grandchildren. We have exchanged countless photos and gifts. What more can I say?

Teens, if you ever have the opportunity to become a pen pal, do so! — Wilma, Michigan City, Ind.

Wilma: Thanks for shar-ing your wonderful pen pal experience with our read-ers. I agree with you 100 per-cent. The friendships that

can bloom out of the written word enrich one’s life immea-surably. It’s nice to know that some of them are still going strong after more than 50 years!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and would like to buy a birthday gift for a girl that I’ve taken out a few times. We’re not getting serious and proba-bly never will. — Butch, Mc-Comb, Miss.

Butch: Yes, it’s appropri-ate to give a birthday gift to a friend. Just make sure it’s not too personal or expensive.
