grove street’s tillman whitleyreinstated by school board

By Manivanh [email protected]

A Grove Street School read-ing teacher who was fired in May for insubordination was reinstated Tuesday.

Tillman Whitley had appealed his termination to the Vicksburg Warren School District Board of Trustees in a four-hour hear-ing. Half of the session was in executive session and closed to the public.

Four of the five school board members — Dis-trict 5 Trustee Sally Bullard was absent — voted unani-mously to reinstate Whit-ley with the possibility that he be transferred to another school for the academic year that begins Aug. 8.

“I’m elated,” Whitley, a 30-year educator, said after the hearing that attracted more than two dozen sup-porters for him.

Superintendent Dr. Eliza-beth Duran Swinford, the only witness for the district, said she was “comfortable with the decision.”

“We came to a mutual agreement, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was insubordinate,” she said. “It doesn’t change the fact that he willfully neglected to perform his duties. But in order to reach a good, happy medium, we settled half way on both sides giving him one more opportunity.”

Whitley’s placement is dependent on vacancies and his certification, which he said is in special education, and his pay will remain the same as last year’s, Swinford said.

Whitley was fired from his job at the district’s alterna-tive school May 26, about two months after his contract was renewed, for insubor-dination and willful neglect his duties. He filed an appeal shortly after.

Swinford, who was hired in August to replace the retir-ing Dr. James Price, testi-fied Whitley was insubordi-nate when he walked out of a meeting with her that he had requested. She said he also was insubordinate to Paula Johnson, assistant superin-tendent for curriculum and

instruction, by not respond-ing to requests for a meeting with her.

Whitley said he left the meeting because John-son was present, and he had requested a pri-vate conference with the superintendent.

Initially, the conflict arose

over plans for changes at Grove Street, which is attended by students in grades 1 through 12 who need special academic and discipline programs. The administration sought to increase division between

countydeputynameddirectorof emaBy John [email protected]

Warren County super-visors didn’t look far for a new emergency man-agement director, hiring Warren County deputy Sgt. John Elfer to replace EMA director Gwen Coleman, who retires Thursday.

The supervisors met for more than an hour in closed session Tuesday to interview Elfer and two other candidates individu-ally before voting 3-2 in open session to hire him.

Supervisors Charles Selmon and William H. Banks opposed the hiring, saying the board should have conducted a wider search for a new director.

The county has a policy of hiring for a job opening from within if there is a qualified county employee, Supervisor Bill Lauder-dale said.

Besides Elfer, the super-visors interviewed Chuck Tate, a retired U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hydraulics engineer, part-time 911 dispatcher and a member of the county’s Local Emergency Plan-ning Committee and Mary Coffee, a corrections officer with the sheriff’s

State’s firstoutstandingteen, in ’05,in pageantBy Terri Cowart [email protected]

When the 43 Miss Missis-sippi 2011 contestants walk the runway for the first time tonight, first-timer Nata-lie Wood might feel right at home.

The 20-year-old Oxford native who is competing as Miss Southland was — in 2005 — the first Miss Missis-sippi’s Outstanding Teen and for four years since has been a senior dancer for the Miss Mississippi pageant.

“I actually auditioned to be a Miss Mississippi junior dancer that year. I had been a junior dancer before so I was going back in thinking I knew everyone and I’ll prob-ably be able to dance with my friends again,” she said.

“Mallory Graham, the cho-

reographer, told me I was too tall,” — she was 5-foot-4. “I was devastated.”

Instead of dancing, Wood should enter a pageant, Graham suggested. Though she’d not previously thought

of it, Wood took his advice, and tonight she will be on stage with the other 42 con-testants and, Friday night, she with her full 5-foot-

‘Work together,’ Legion’s national commander saysBy Mary Margaret [email protected]

The national commander of the American Legion urged members of Posts 3 and 213 in Vicksburg Tuesday to “work together” because “at the end of the day we are all veterans.”

Jimmie L. Foster, a Marine for three years before joining the U.S. Army for 17 years, has been national commander since Sept. 2 and travels over the world to address veterans’ organizations.

“Part of what we strive to do is promote Americanism in the community,” the Anchor-age, Alaska, native told about 75 people at the luncheon. “I call it Hometown U.S.A. and we’ve got to make sure Americanism is happening at home.

“We’ve got to work together for everything these days,” Foster said. “You have to give a little and take a little, and remember that we all have a common bond — no matter what branch of the military we were a part of, at the end of

the day we are all veterans.“I look at the American

Legion like I do my life,” Foster said. “You’ve got to stay positive and focused no matter what and it’ll be a win-win situation.”

Foster praised the two Vicks-burg American Legion posts, saying they are “very engaged and the public knows what they’re doing.”

Wardell Wince, a 78-year-old member of Post 213 who served in Korea and Vietnam, said Foster’s visit was “some-thing big for all of us.”

By Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press

JACKSON — In the Missis-sippi governor’s race, Demo-crat Bill Luckett is getting help from an actor who played God and a blues singer who makes glittery custom guitars out of mufflers and toolboxes.

Now, Republican Phil Bryant is set to get a financial boost from a hard-living crooner who’s in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

George Jones will perform a concert Saturday night at the Ocean Springs Civic Center to raise money for Bryant’s cam-paign for governor. The cam-paign said tickets for the one-hour show are $250 each.

Actor Morgan Freeman, who

won an Academy Award in 2005 for “Million Dollar Baby” and played God in the 2007 movie “Evan Almighty,” made several stops across Missis-sippi this past October to raise money for his friend Luckett, with suggested ticket prices of $250 to $1,000. Freeman and Luckett co-own Ground Zero Blues Club and the upscale

Madidi restaurant, both in downtown Clarksdale.

Bryant, the current lieuten-ant governor, has a fondness for country music, blue jeans and cowboy boots. Campaign spokesman Quinton Dicker-son said Bryant recently met Jones.

Jones was born in Texas but has a Mississippi con-nection: He was married to singer Tammy Wynette, an Itawamba County native, from 1969 to 1975.

Bryant’s favorite song by Jones? Dickerson said it’s “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” a classic ballad about a man who goes to his grave still loving the woman who got away.

Mississippi’s party primaries are Aug. 2, and the general

election is Nov. 8.Bryant is the top fundraiser

so far in the race to succeed Republican Haley Barbour, who’s limited to two terms and cannot run again.

Bryant faces Pass Chris-tian contractor Dave Dennis, Pearl River County supervi-sor Hudson Holliday, busi-nessman Ron Williams of Moss Point and former state employee James Broadwater of Byram in the Republican primary.

Luckett is vying with Hatties-burg Mayor Johnny DuPree, high school teacher William Bond Compton of Meridian and retired tax assessor Guy Dale Shaw of Coffeeville in the Democratic contest.

Freeman, Jones stump for gubernatorial candidates Prominent state attorneyinjured in plane crashBy Holbrook MohrThe Associated Press

JACKSON — A prominent Mississippi attorney crashed his plane in the woods just after crews had installed a parachute system designed to allow it to float to the ground.

Relatives said John Booth Farese was hurt when his Cessna 182 crashed just after taking off Monday from the Holly Springs airport, where a so-called whole-aircraft para-chute recovery system had been put in.

Farese, 67, is a member of a well-known family of attor-

neys from Ashland and has decades of experience as a pri-vate pilot. He was recovering Tuesday at the Regional Medi-cal Center at Memphis.

Steve Farese Sr. said the parachute saved his brother’s life. He described his brother’s condition as “all banged up” with a back injury.

Steve Farese said his brother told him the plane’s engine quit 300 to 400 feet above the ground and the parachute deployed about 80 percent before impact.

The accident is under investigation.

Jackson schools face $18M shortfallJACKSON, Miss. — Jack-

son Public Schools is roughly $18 million short of what it needs to end fiscal 2011 in the black.

The district ended last year $2 million in the hole and had to borrow from reserves.

Despite the fiscal year drawing to a close, finance director Sharolyn Miller said she is confident the needed revenue, most of it state-appropriated dollars, will come through.

FEMA to reimburseMonroe County

ABERDEEN, Miss. — Monroe County might be the first tornado-ravaged county to settle up with FEMA for costs related to the April 27 storms.

Jackson council backs$800,000 zoo loan

JACKSON, Miss. — The Jackson City Council has approved a measure to guar-

antee a loan of $800,000 for the city’s zoo to help pay for roughly $880,000 in debt.

The loan, which will be taken out of city funding to the zoo for the next eight years, eases zoo manage-ment’s effort to maintain accreditation by the pres-tigious Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which will send inspectors to grade the zoo in early August.

Driver dies after wreckin Hancock County

GULFPORT, Miss. — A 30-year-old Louisiana man critically injured Sunday when his car ran under an 18-wheeler in Hancock County has died, authorities said.

Coroner Norma Stiglet said Jonathan Sunseri of Gretna died Monday at Gulfport’s Memorial Hospital.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol said Sunseri was northbound on Mississippi 607 near Interstate 10 when his car went under the truck, shearing off the car’s roof.

Maj. Ron Pullen said the injured man had several frac-tures of the skull and was hospitalized five days in the June 19 attack.

Pullen said the beating at a Saucier home led to the arrests Sunday of Ronald W. Chapman and Heaven R. Roberts, both 30, on a charge of aggravated assault.

WASHINGTON — According to several aggrieved women who filed a class-action lawsuit against Wal-mart, the giant retailer’s recent employment practices were not based on merit. Instead, those women say, Sam Walton’s empire employed a crude form of Marxism.

Men were often paid more than women in the same jobs, accord-ing to legal documents, and women who complained were told that the men needed more money because they were expected to support their families. Or, as Karl Marx put it, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

It would no doubt have come as a surprise to the male managers who endorsed the higher-pay-for-heads-of-households theory that they shared a basic tenet of Marxism. After all, Walmart’s image rests sol-idly on down-home, all-American values with a Southern accent — God, guns and cheap electronics.

Indeed, Walmart’s culture isn’t foreign. Its anti-union activities are a commonplace. Over the years, moreover, there have been count-less American companies where women employees complained about discrimination — where they received lower wages for the same

work, where they were denied pro-motions despite stellar work his-tories, where they complained of sexist antics and crude, juvenile “jokes.”

Walmart is not only the world’s biggest retailer, but it is also the nation’s largest private employer. Its sales are heavily dependent on women, who determine a major portion of most household pur-chases. Most of Walmart’s hourly employees are women, but most of its salaried managers are men.

The retailer has not been judged innocent by the U.S. Supreme Court. Last week, instead, the court rejected the class-action filing, Dukes v. Walmart, that might have allowed as many as 1.5 million cur-rent and former women employ-

ees to collect financial redress. A conservative majority let the retail empire off the hook because, as Jus-tice Antonin Scalia put it, the plain-tiffs “provide no convincing proof of a companywide discriminatory pay and promotion policy.”

I cannot imagine that any Ameri-can company would have an official policy that supports discrimination. Instead, Walmart appears to have allowed individual managers at var-ious levels to get away with rank sexism. Unfortunately, many of the women who suffered at their hands would be hard-pressed to amass the resources to file individual lawsuits, so a class action was their best hope for justice.

If you’re a Walmart shopper, you might want to know what some of

those women have to say. (Com-plaints were compiled online at Walmart Class Website, www.wal-martclass.com.) Since lead plaintiff Betty Dukes is already well-known, let’s look at others.

Ramona Scott, who worked for Walmart in Florida in the 1990s, had access to payroll records and discovered that men generally made more money than women who had as much or more seniority. When she asked about it, she said, the male store manager replied: “Men are here to make a career and women aren’t. Retail is for house-wives who just need to earn extra money.”

Christine Kwapnoski — who worked at Sam’s Club, another part of the Walmart empire — said she received outstanding evalua-tions and merit raises, but she still was shut out of management for years. When she was finally pro-moted, she said, she was told to “doll up” and “blow the cobwebs off her makeup.” Lori McCarthy told The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post that she submitted 18 applications for store manager jobs and was denied each time, despite excellent evaluations. When she asked about the rejec-tions, she was told that her voice

“sounded too high,” she said.The most compelling thing about

the women’s testimony is that so many of them started out with a determination to make a career at Walmart, believing that hard work, grit and loyalty would be enough to earn promotions and higher pay. They had bought into the idealists’ view of the American workplace — that everybody has an equal shot.

That view has hardened into a shortsighted conventional wisdom that blasts unions as corrupt and greedy and deifies business execu-tives — even those who run their companies aground. But the great American middle class didn’t take root because corporations suddenly became altruistic.

If that middle class is to be rein-vigorated, it will need, among other things, workers who are willing to stand up for their rights. So we should all be rooting for women such as Betty Dukes and Christine Kwapnoski, Ramona Scott and Lori McCarthy.

If that middle class is to be reinvigorated, it will need, among other things, work-

ers who are willing to stand up for their rights.

WalmartThe Supreme Court’s 9 to 0

decision in Walmart v. Dukes stopped an abusive class action lawsuit and should bring a huge sigh of relief that the plaintiffs’ bar was stopped from further exploiting employers who create jobs. Although the administra-tion will probably never publicly admit it given its strong alle-giance to plaintiffs’ lawyers and their massive campaign con-tributions, they should also be relieved since a contrary decision against America’s largest retailer could have hurt our struggling economy.

The Court, in a decision writ-ten by Justice Antonin Scalia, reversed the Ninth Circuit (no surprise — the Ninth Circuit is almost always reversed), which had certified a nationwide, class action lawsuit by current and former Walmart employees. Three women wanted to be certi-fied to represent 1.5 million Wal-mart employees, claiming that the retailer had discriminated on the basis of their sex by denying them equal pay or promotions. But the Court held that the fed-

eral rule governing class action lawsuits requires a common issue of fact or law that predominates the issues raised in a lawsuit and whose resolution will resolve the claim of every member of the class. The plaintiffs could not show such commonality in the present case.

The Court approvingly cited the dissenting opinion of Chief Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit that the potential Wal-mart employees “held a multi-tude of different jobs, at different levels of Walmart’s hierarchy, for variable lengths of time, in 3,400 stores, sprinkled across 50 states, with a kaleidoscope of supervi-sors (male and female), subject to a variety of regional policies that all differed. ... Some thrived while others did poorly. They have little in common but their sex and this lawsuit.”

Led by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the four liberal justices agreed that the class of Walmart plain-tiffs had been improperly certi-fied. But Ginsburg claimed that the Court erred in entirely dis-qualifying the class and dismiss-

ing the lawsuit, arguing that the Court should have sent the case back to the lower courts to con-sider whether the common class questions might “predominate” over individual issues in accor-dance with the federal rule.

No doubt liberal media outlets will paint this as a 5 to 4 decision by the conservative justices of the Court, ignoring the fact that all nine justices agreed on the main, substantive issue — that the lower court ruling in the class action lawsuit was improper. The liberal justices simply disagreed on what to do to fix what the lower courts had done wrong.

But Justice Scalia’s opinion is the correct decision based on the applicable legal standard. And the result has the added economic benefit of preventing damage to a company that is one of the largest private employ-ers in the United States, provid-ing jobs for more than 1.4 mil-lion people in the United States and 2.1 million worldwide. It was a good day at the Supreme Court for both the law and our economy.

Ex-officer defends stance that cops overreacted in bridge shootingsNEW ORLEANS (AP) — A

former New Orleans police officer spent a grueling day first walking the prosecu-tion through his versions of the events on a New Orleans bridge after Hurricane Katrina that left two citizens shot dead and four wounded, and then sparring with defense attor-neys over his testimony.

Then-Lt. Michael Lohman, the ranking officer on Sept. 4, 2005, when police killed 40-year-old Ronald Madison, a mentally disabled man, and

17-year-old James Brissette, defended his assertion that officers overreacted and then worked to cover up the shoot-ing of unarmed people on the bridge as one defense attor-ney after another questioned his motives and his memory.

Lohman, who retired last year, is one of five former offi-cers who have pleaded guilty to participating in a cover-up. Now he is a key govern-ment witness in the case against Sgts. Robert Gisevius and Kenneth Bowen, Officer

Anthony Villavaso, former officer Robert Faulcon and Sgt. Arthur Kaufman.

Remorse and the realization that the government had the truth about what happened on the bridge and the follow-ing cover-up prompted him to accept a deal to testify for the prosecution, Lohman testified.

The defense questioned that motivation.

Lohman faces a maximum of five years in prison when he is sentenced, a fact defense

attorneys seized on during his cross-examination. Steve London, Kaufman’s lawyer, pointed out that Lohman was “looking at 25 to 30 years” before making his deal.

London also questioned Lohman on why he added Kaufman’s name to a false report, asking if he intended to make it look as if Kaufman had written it.

“I wasn’t trying to make it look like Kaufman wrote that,” Lohman said. “We were work-ing on it together. I didn’t go

off by myself and write this.”Lohman said he went along

with the cover-up because he did not want anyone to get into trouble, but London implied a different reason Kaufman’s name was on the documents.

“You actually hate Sgt. Kauf-man, don’t you?” London asked.

“No,” Lohman responded. “We had disagreements, but I would not say it was a hate relationship.”

For the most part, Lohman remained poised during

the long day of testimony, answering calmly, frequently addressing the jury directly. An exception was during cross examination by Paul Fleming who represents Faul-con. When asked what he evi-dently considered a repetitive question, Lohman snapped, “Pay attention, yes,” which earned him a dressing down from the judge.

Lohman said the gunfire had stopped by the time he arrived at the bridge.

Towns near New Mexico fire,nuclear lab wary of smoke

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — Residents downwind of a wildfire that is threatening the nation’s premier nuclear-weapons laboratory are wor-ried about the potential of a radioactive smoke plume if the flames reach thousands of barrels of waste stored in above-ground tents.

Top lab officials and fire managers said they’re confi-dent the flames won’t reach key buildings or areas where radioactive waste is stored. As a last resort, foam could be sprayed on the barrels con-taining items that might have been contaminated through contact with radioactive mate-rials to ensure they aren’t damaged by fire, they said.

The site’s manager for the National Nuclear Security Administration said he evalu-ated the precautions and felt comfortable. The agency over-sees the lab for the Depart-ment of Energy.

“I have 170 people who vali-date their measures,” Kevin Smith said. “They’re in steel drums, on a concrete floor.”

Despite the assurances, some residents remained concerned for the safety of their families

and nearby communities. “If it gets to this contamina-

tion, it’s over — not just for Los Alamos, but for Santa Fe and all of us in between,” said Mai Ting, a resident who lives in the valley below the desert mesas that are home to the Los Alamos National

Laboratory. Chris Valvarde, a resident

of Santa Clara Pueblo about 10 miles north of Los Alamos, questioned officials at a brief-ing Tuesday evening, asking whether they had evacuation plans for his community.

department, who has worked in the department since 2004.

“We need to go outside of Warren County and seek more people,” Selmon said. “I don’t think this was fair. We only talked to three appli-cants before hiring someone. We need to give other people in Warren County the oppor-tunity to apply for positions that they pay taxes for.”

Selmon offered a substi-tute motion to table action and get more applicants, but it failed by a 3-2 vote with

Lauderdale and Supervisors David McDonald and Rich-ard George opposing.

“I’m just excited at the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Warren County,” Elfer said after the meeting.

A native of Atlanta, the 39-year-old Elfer has a degree in criminal justice from the University of South-ern Mississippi. He has been an officer with the Hatties-burg Police Department, and has been a deputy with the

sheriff’s department since 1998. He served in the Mis-sissippi National Guard as a captain in the military police with the 31st Rear Opera-tions Center in Jackson from 1998 to 2007.

He was the National Guard liaison officer with the Har-rison County Emergency Management Agency during Hurricane Katrina, where he helped coordinate the Guard’s support of search and rescue teams, and for emergency shelter, and food

and water distribution after the storm.

Coleman announced her retirement on June 6. She retires from the emergency management office after 32 years, the last five as direc-tor. She started as a plan-ner in 1979 in what was then known as Vicksburg-War-

ren County Civil Defense. She was named director in November 2006.

The county’s emergency management office serves as an emergency operations center from which local, state and federal authorities stage efforts during natural disasters.

In a related emergency management matter, the supervisors lifted the man-datory evacuation for Eagle Lake and extended the coun-ty’s state of emergency until July 31. Vicksburg officials took similar action on the state of emergency on Friday.

6-inches in height will dance for her part in the competition.

“My parents encouraged me to do it,” she said.

In 2005, Wood won the new Miss Mississippi’s Outstand-ing Teen pageant and com-peted in Orlando for the national title in a contest in which she was second youngest.

“My biggest guidance going into the Miss America’s Out-standing Teen Pageant was the late Wayne and Miss Tammy Sutter,” she said of the pageant secretary, who

died this year, and his wife. “They were the only ones who got to go from Vicks-burg to support me, and they were just amazing through-out that whole experience.”

Wood today is studying broadcast journalism at the University of Mississippi, where she was among the top 10 in the 2010 Ole Miss Parade of Beauties and is an Ole Miss Rebelette and a member of Chi Omega sorority.

She is one of 13 past con-testants in the Miss Missis-sippi’s Outstanding Teen

pageants in this year’s competition.

“We are proud of the pro-gram and how it has grown,” said producer Jaynie Fedell. “This year we have had our largest gift package, more than $60,000,” includ-ing $33,500 in scholarships from William Carey Univer-sity and Hinds and Itawamba community colleges.

The pageant is a good feeder for the Miss Missis-sippi competition, Fedell said.

On the agendaMeeting Tuesday, the Warren County Board of Supervisors:• Approved a resolution designating County

Administrator John Smith as the county’s agent with the Mississippi Emergency Man-agement Agency involving flood-related is-sues.

• Tabled action to join a home consortium with Hinds County, pending discussions with the City of Vicksburg.

Joining the consortium would enable the county and the city to receive a total of $292,861 in U.S. Housing and Urban Devel-opment funds to help qualified home buy-ers, Smith said. He said the money would be divided between the county and the city. County officials want the city to handle the application process for eligible residents.

• Authorized Tax Collector Antonia Jones to accept partial payments for 2010 real and personal property taxes and for 2011 mo-bile home taxes. All taxes must be paid by August.

In a related matter, the board approved the Mississippi Department of Revenue’s motor vehicle assessment schedule. The schedule is used to determine property taxes on auto-mobiles and small trucks.

• Accepted a petition from the residents of Amber Leaf Subdivision for a special tax as-sessment district to cover the cost of paving the streets in their subdivision.

• Authorized Smith to advertise for a new pi-lot for the Kings Point ferry because the former one, Harvey Crowder, is no longer employed, county road manager Richard Winans said.

Commander: Stress underminingtraining for special operations forces

WASHINGTON (AP) — The military commander who directed the raid that killed Osama bin Laden is warning that the escalating demands on U.S. special operations forces are hampering their training and could slowly eat away at their combat readiness.

Vice Adm. William McRa-ven said demand for the elite forces around the world con-tinues to grow, so there often isn’t enough time to train between deployments. And he said the helicopters and other equipment they need are not available to units in the United

States who are preparing to deploy.

Special operations forces “cannot indefinitely sustain current levels of overseas presence,” said McRaven, who has been nominated to replace Adm. Eric Olson as commander of the U.S. Spe-cial Operations Command. “The resulting pressure on the force and our families is too great, and the pressure is creating a dramatic effect on our readiness.”

He said the short breaks between deployments limit training in key language skills

and the regional and cultural expertise that enable the com-mandos to work well in other countries. And he noted that most of the helicopters needed for training are either at the warfront or in maintenance.

The lack of helicopters, air-craft and ships at bases in the U.S., he said, limits training on refueling, live bomb drops or dock landings.

McRaven’s comments came in answer to questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee during a hearing Tuesday.

Q: I had a friend recently pass away without a will. She was single, with no children, and has a sister who is estranged from the family and a father who is incompetent and in a nursing home. He was the

owner of the family house, a car and a small busi-ness. I have been con-tacted by a n

attorney and asked to be his estate executor. I am pretty savvy with paperwork, etc., and think I would probably be up to the challenge that this would present. What might I need to be aware of to handle this situation? — Jim via e-mail

A: You pointed out that you may be getting into a very dif-ficult situation. That being observed, if you are willing, let’s get on with it. The attor-

ney, who has contacted you, asked you to be an administra-tor, not an executor. An exec-utor can only be named on a will as administrator by the probate court in your area. You didn’t mention the size of the estate and how much the administrator fee is. You are entitled a fee, and you should find out if there’s a limitation by law or in some way guided by the size of the estate. You are doing a good job of get-ting the laundry list of the things you will have to handle. There may be others, includ-ing disagreements amongst the heirs. I assume that the attorney discussed this with them and they all are agree-able to you being appointed the administrator given the fact that you are outside the family. Without that agree-ment, there will very likely not be a deal. You’re a good man to consider trying to unscram-ble this situation. That may be very difficult. Good Luck.

U.S. stocks surge on news ofGreek bailout deal

NEW YORK (AP) — Prog-ress on Greece’s debt crisis and a huge bank settlement are sending stocks higher shortly after the opening bell.

The Dow Jones industrial average is up 31 points, or 0.3 percent, at 12,219 in early trading today. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is up 5, or 0.4 percent, at 1,301. The Nasdaq composite is up less than 1 point at 2,729.

Greek lawmakers passed a controversial austerity bill that was needed to get emer-gency loans. The passage puts Greece closer to avoiding a debt default, which would have shocked global markets and frozen lending to other heavily indebted European countries.

Bank of America Corp. rose 3 percent after reaching an $8.5 billion settlement with inves-tors over claims that the bank sold them low-quality mort-gage-backed securities.

Bank of America settles $8.5 billion in claims

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America and its Country-wide unit will pay $8.5 billion to settle claims that the lend-ers sold poor-quality mort-gage-backed securities that went sour when the housing market collapsed.

The deal, announced this morning, comes after a group of 22 investors demanded that the Charlotte, N.C. bank repur-chase $47 billion in mortgages that its Countrywide unit sold to them in the form of bonds.

The group, which includes the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Pimco Investment Management and Black-rock Financial Management, argued that Countrywide enriched itself at the expense of investors by continuing to service bad loans while run-ning up servicing fees.

Bank of America, which bought Countrywide in 2008 for $4 billion, has denied those claims.

Bank of America CEO Brian

Moynihan said today that the settlement would minimize “future economic uncertainty” in the banking business and “clean up the mortgage issues largely stemming from our purchase of Countrywide.”

The settlement is subject to court approval and covers 530 trusts with an original princi-pal balance of $424 billion.

Citi analyst Keith Horow-itz said the settlement, which amounts to only 2 percent of the original principal bal-ance, removes one of the larg-est investor risks for Bank of America.

“We think this could prove to be a step forward” for Bank of America, Horowitz said. It would show investors that the bank can manage through crisis without raising addi-tional capital.

As a result of the settlement, Bank of America put its sec-ond-quarter loss at $8.6 billion to $9.1 billion.

Greece passes key austerity billATHENS, Greece (AP) —

Greece’s lawmakers approved a key austerity bill today, paving the way for the coun-try to get its next vital bail-out loans that will prevent it from defaulting on its debts next month.

The unpopular $40 billion, five-year package of spend-ing cuts and tax hikes was backed by a majority of the 300-member parliament today, including Socialist deputy Alexandros Athanassiadis, who had previously vowed to vote against it. A conserva-tive deputy broke ranks with her party’s line to also vote in favor, bolstering the govern-ment’s majority of five seats in the 300-member parliament.

Another bill detailing mea-sures to implement the measures goes for a vote Thursday.

The European Union and International Monetary Fund have demanded both bills pass before they approve the release of an $18 billion loan installment from last year’s rescue package.

Greece has been relying on

the $157 billion bailout loans for the past year, and with-out the next installment it faces becoming the first euro-zone country to default next month.

The vote took place as clashes between police and protesters broke out outside Parliament, with the booms

of stun grenades and tear gas resonating across the square outside the building.

In the run-up to the vote, vio-lence engulfed the square out-side. Riot police fired volleys of tear gas at swarms of young men who were hurling rocks and other debris as well as set-ting fire to trash containers.

Riot policemen walk in smoke during clashes in central Ath-ens this morning.

Feds showfake safetyrecords inmine blast

BEAVER, W.Va. (AP) — Federal investigators showed relatives of victims of a West Virginia mine explosion that killed 29 fake safety records Massey Energy kept to throw off inspectors at the mine.

During the private Tuesday night session, officials with the Mine Safety and Health Administration showed rela-tives of the Upper Big Branch miners side-by-side compari-sons of books that purported to document the same shift.

In one authentic produc-tion report, Massey reported that its mining machine was shut down because of prob-lems with ventilation and a potentially explosive accumu-lation of methane gas. The on-shift inspection report, mean-while, indicated no problems with gas, said underground miner Bobbie Pauley, whose fiance Howard “Boone” Payne was among the men killed in

the April 5, 2010, blast near Montcoal in southern West Virginia.

About 30 people — nearly half of them lawyers — attended the briefing for sev-eral hours at a mine safety training academy in Beaver.

A public presentation for MSHA’s latest findings was set for this morning. But Pauley and two other relatives, Gary Quarles and Clay Mullins, said the federal team offered noth-ing new and pushed back the timeline for completion of its final report for at least four more months.

N.Y.C. student fatally stabbed hours after graduatingNEW YORK — A high

school football star was stabbed in a fight with park-ing attendants over whether something was stolen from his family’s car during his graduation ceremony and later died, police said. His father was charged today with assault stemming from the argument.

Isayah Muller, 19, a star running back who led his team to the Public Schools Athletic League champion-ship, was rushed to a nearby clinic Tuesday by his family and girlfriend and was later pronounced dead, said Paul Browne, the New York Police Department’s chief spokesman.

The teen’s father, Andre Muller, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and assault but wasn’t accused of stabbing his son.

Lawyers want to dropearlier Bulger charges

BOSTON — Federal pros-ecutors moved Tuesday to

dismiss a 1994 racketeering indictment against mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger to focus on a later indictment that charged the newly cap-tured fugitive of participating in 19 murders.

But U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf told prosecutors during a court hearing that dismissal of the indictment is “not automatic” and that he would give Bulger’s provi-sional attorney, Peter Krupp, a day to consult with Bulger to see whether he objects to the dismissal.

The earlier indictment, which charged Bulger with extortion, loan sharking, wit-ness tampering and con-spiracy, prompted Bulger to flee Boston just before it was handed up in early 1995. He remained a fugitive until last week, when he was appre-hended in Santa Monica, Calif., with his longtime girl-friend, Catherine Greig.Murder suspect flees

mental hospitalBANGOR, Maine — Police

in Maine are searching for a murder suspect who climbed over a fence at the state psy-chiatric hospital and escaped.

Twenty-nine-year-old Wil-liam Hall was last seen about 7:40 p.m. Tuesday running toward Bangor’s popular Cascade Park.

Bangor Deputy Police Chief Peter Arno said Hall had been placed at the Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center after he was arrested June 15. He was charged with strangling 28-year-old Melvin Abreu on June 9 and then throwing his body out a window.

Group pressuresgrocers with videos

DES MOINES, Iowa — An undercover video alleg-ing abusive practices at an Iowa hog farm has prompted some large grocery chains to stop purchasing from the company until an investiga-tion into allegations can be completed.

The video by Chicago-based Mercy for Animals is part of an expanded effort to use secret recordings to pressure grocers. The video was shot at an Iowa Select Farms oper-ation and will be publicized at news conferences today in Seattle, Cincinnati, San Fran-cisco and Des Moines, Iowa.

Three in temple plotface sentencing

NEW YORK — Three men convicted of plotting to blow up New York City syna-gogues and shoot down mili-tary planes are scheduled to be sentenced.

James Cromitie, David Wil-liams and Onta Williams are due in federal court in Man-hattan today.

They were convicted last year of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.

Their lawyers argued that they deserved a break because the plot was part of an elaborate sting and never posed a threat.

from the pageant Monday “for personal reasons,” said David Blackledge, executive director.

Shelby Smith has been ill and was not able to come to Vicksburg Sunday for reg-istration, Blackledge said. She also formally withdrew Monday.

“We’re all disappointed that they are not able to be here,” he said. “We always want all

our contestants to come and compete here and have the experience of a lifetime.”

Blackledge, who has been working with the pageant for 28 years, said he does not remember a contestant dropping out during pageant week, though he recalled one

leaving weeks before the 2006 competition. He said he did not remember why.

Both Caitlyn Smith and Shelby Smith had runners-up in their local pageants, but it was too late for them to pre-pare for the state event, he said.

Forty-three contestants remain in the chase for this year’s 54th crowning in Vicksburg of a Miss Mis-sissippi, with preliminar-ies beginning tonight at the Vicksburg Convention Center and continuing each night at 8.

On Saturday night, 10 final-ists will be named shortly after the televised pageant begins, and reigning Miss Mississippi Sarah Beth James of Madison will crown her successor.

Blackledge said Caitlyn

Smith and Shelby Smith had been assigned to different preliminary groups for initial judging of talent, swimsuit, evening gown and personal interviews.

Princesses set to attend the girls have been reassigned to James and to Marie Wicks, Miss Pine Belt/Delta Coast, and both James and Wicks will be accompanied by two princesses.

“Fortunately, we’ve been able to work it all out,” Black-ledge said.

The changes also involved moving Whitley from one classroom to another, a move to which he objected.

A series of e-mails and calls regarding the revisions were exchanged between Whitley and the administration, and Johnson suspended Whit-ley without pay until he met with her.

Whitley’s attorney, Lisa Ross of Jackson, was set to prove Johnson’s action was not consistent with state law, which says Whitley should have been given the option of a formal hearing to appeal the suspension. Whitley was not notified of an option for a hearing, Ross told the board.

She also said Whitley was not insubordinate to Swin-ford, who should have met with him in private, as he had requested.

“We’re elated,” Ross said following the hearing. “He’s dedicated to the young people of Vicksburg. He just wanted to go back to the classroom.”

Whitley was Swinford’s first termination at the dis-trict, Swinford said.

Grove Street’s principal for the 2011-12 school year Kelvin Wymbs, who had

been out on sick leave in April and May, was reported to have resigned at the end of the school year and Dr. Edward Wiggins, principal of Warren Central Intermedi-

ate, reportedly retired after 30 years as an educator.

Both contracts also had been renewed in March.

Those positions, along with Beechwood principal Chris

Perritt, were reported after the school board’s May 26 regular meeting, when other employees retiring from the district were honored.

Tropical Storm Arlene churning toward mexico’s coastVERACRUZ, Mexico (AP)

— The first tropical storm of the Atlantic season gained force as it headed for Mexico’s central Gulf coast on today, bringing a threat of floods and mudslides.

Tropical Storm Arlene could hit land north of the coastal city of Tuxpan early Thurs-

day a little short of hurricane force, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. Officials in the states of Veracruz, Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosi said they were monitoring the storm and pre-paring for possible flooding.

The state oil company Petro-leos Mexicanos, said it would

consider whether to evacuate its oil platforms off the Vera-cruz coast later Wednesday.

The hurricane center said the storm was centered about 110 miles east of Tuxpan this morning, with sustained winds of 50 mph. It was moving toward the west at 8 mph.

A hurricane watch was in

effect from Tuxpan north to La Cruz, and a tropical storm warning was called from the Barra de Nautla tour-ist area northward to Bahia Algodones.

Tropical storm warnings have been issued in Mexico for the northeastern coast from Barra De Nautla north to

Bahia Algodones. The storm is expected to make landfall in northeastern Mexico early Thursday.

The main threat to Mexico is heavy rains that could cause flash floods and mudslides. Forecasters say extreme south Texas also could get rain.

MANILA, Philippines — Flash floods triggered by torrential rains swept away dozens of houses in the south-ern Philippines and killed at least 25 people, mostly chil-dren, officials said today. At least 15 other people were missing.

About 20,000 families were affected by floodwaters when heavy rains swamped six vil-lages in Davao city late Tues-day, overflowing rivers and triggering a deluge.

JERUSALEM — Israeli scholars say they have con-firmed the authenticity of a 2,000-year-old burial box bear-ing the name of a relative of the high priest Caiaphas of the New Testament.

The ossuary bears an inscription with the name “Miriam daughter of Yeshua son of Caiaphas, priest of Maaziah from Beth Imri.”

An ossuary is a stone chest used to store bones. Caia-phas was a temple priest and an adversary of Jesus who played a key role in his crucifixion.

Afghans: Attack won’t derail transferKABUL, Afghanistan (AP)

— Afghan President Hamid Karzai vowed today that his army and police would be ready to take over from foreign forces as planned despite a brazen assault on one of Kabul’s pre-mier hotels that left 19 people dead — including all eight attackers.

The more than five-hour standoff at the Inter-Continen-tal — one of the biggest and most complex attacks orches-trated in the Afghan capital — ended when NATO heli-copters fired rockets at Tali-ban gunmen on the roof. The attack appeared designed to show that the insurgents are capable of striking even in the center of power at a time when U.S. officials are speaking of progress in the nearly 10-year war.

Last week, President Barack Obama announced the begin-ning of a U.S. troop withdrawal. The transfer of security respon-sibility to the Afghans is due to officially begin in seven areas of the nation, including most of Kabul province, in coming weeks.

Militants, armed with explo-sive vests, anti-aircraft weap-ons and grenade launchers, began the attack around 10 p.m. Tuesday, on the eve of a conference in the capital about transition plans.

Ashraf Ghani, chairman of the transition commission, opened the conference today with blunt words for militants.

“The transition process will be done, and these coward ene-mies will not stop our plans,” Ghani said.

As Afghan leaders work on

transition, violence continued in other parts of the nation.

The U.S.-led coalition said a NATO service member was killed by insurgents today in southern Afghanistan, bring-ing to 62 the number of foreign troops killed so far this month. No other details were disclosed. Also in the south, the director of religious affairs for Kan-dahar province, was gunned down this morning in the pro-vincial capital of Kandahar.

Security at the Inter-Conti-nental and other key installa-tions had been tightened for the

conference and other official events taking place in the city. Officials said they were inves-tigating how the insurgents were still able to get through and infiltrate the building.

After hours of fighting, two NATO helicopters opened fire at about 3 a.m. on the roof of the six-story hotel where mili-tants had taken up positions. U.S. Army Maj. Jason Wag-goner, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition fighting in Afghanistan, said the helicop-ters killed three gunmen and Afghan security forces.

Afghan security officers gather at the entrance to the Inter Continental hotel today.

Hodges resigns as St. Aloysius basketball coachBy Jeff [email protected]

Richard Hodges is out as the basketball and track coach at St. Aloysius.

Hodges’ departure after two years leaves the Vicks-burg Catholic School looking for a new basketball coach for the seventh time in five years.

Hodges said a disagree-ment with the school’s administration and possible

positions at other schools led him to resign.

“I resigned my position at St. Aloysius in order to pursue other opportunities,” Hodges said on Tuesday afternoon.

St. Aloysius athletic direc-tor Jim Taylor comfirmed that St. Al is looking for a new basketball coach.

“It was my understanding that Coach Hodges would not be back, but I wasn’t in on why,” Taylor said. “We hope

to put out an advertise-ment by the end of the week.”

Before coming to St. Aloysius, Hodges, 48, had built an

outstanding record as a high school boys basketball coach at a hand-ful of schools in the South-east. He won a South Caro-

lina Association of Christian Schools state championship at Little Country School, and took Greenville-St. Joseph to the Mississippi Class 1A state tournament in 2005.

Hodges also coached future NBA stars Amaré Stou-demire and Jarrett Jack at Mount Zion Christian Acad-emy in Durham, N.C. Before arriving at St. Al, Hodges had a career record of 460-121.

He had hoped to build St. Aloysius into a Catho-

lic power in basketball, but instead his teams struggled. His boys team went 11-35 in two seasons and the girls were 12-34.

“Obviously, I’ve had most of my losses, almost 70, here,” Hodges said.

His best success came in May with the St. Al girls track and field team. The Lady Flashes won a division title, their first-ever Region

SIdELINESNBA, players willcontinue labor talks

DALLAS (AP) — Repre-sentatives for NBA play-ers and owners will meet Thursday, hours before the collective bargain-ing agreement expires, and Commissioner Da-vid Stern says that’s still enough time for a deal.

Owners did not vote to authorize a lockout dur-ing their meeting Tues-day, but have given the labor relations commit-tee the go-ahead to do whatever is necessary.

If a deal is not reached, owners could lock out the players when the CBA expires at the end of the day, though both sides have said negotiat-ing could extend past the deadline if progress is be-ing made.

Yet Stern wouldn’t dis-cuss the possibility of an extension.

“We’re not talking about likelihoods, we’re looking forward to Thurs-day’s meeting. That will be great,” he said.

Though a large group of players attended the last meeting, Thursday’s session is expected to be only a small group from both sides. Deputy Com-missioner Adam Silver said the league didn’t know if the players would make another propos-al after they declined to present one Friday.

Owners were updated on the status of the CBA negotiations, as well as plans for expanded rev-enue sharing among teams, during their meet-ing. Stern said there are few firm details about the latter — which has frus-trated the union — be-cause it can’t be complet-ed until a new deal with the players is done.

U.S. team overcomes scrappy North KoreaBy The Associated Press

DRESDEN, Germany — For 45 minutes, the Ameri-cans were sloppy and slow, looking very much like the inconsistent bunch whose road to Germany was marked by bumps and potholes.

Once they took the field for the second half, though, the Americans played with the confidence, creativity and touch around the goal that won them two World Cups and made them the world’s dominant team for much of the last two decades.

“We believe we can win this tournament,” Abby Wam-bach said.

Lauren Cheney, making her first start since March, and Rachel Buehler scored in an offensive burst as the

Americans beat a young but scrappy North Korea 2-0 on Tuesday. The victory puts the Americans atop Group C going into Saturday’s game against World Cup newcomer Colombia. If the U.S. wins that game and Sweden beats or ties North Korea, the U.S. will be on to the quarterfi-nals. The Swedes defeated Colombia 1-0 on Tuesday in the other group match. The U.S. wraps up group play July 6 against Sweden.

“It’s always easier going for-ward” with a win, U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. “We’re happy, two great goals.”

For the North Koreans, it was yet another loss to the Americans. This was the fourth straight World Cup that the teams met in the group stage, and the U.S. has won all but one of the games.

Afterward, North Korean coach Kim Kwang Min blamed his team’s failings in the second half on a June 8 lightning strike during training in Pyongyang that sent “more than five” play-ers to the hospital. Goal-keeper Hong Myong Hui, four defenders and some of the midfielders were the players most affected, Kim said.

“The physicians actually

said the players were not capable of playing in the tour-nament,” he said through an interpreter. “They’re not physically ready for this match, but they had a strong will.”

The North Koreans didn’t seem as if anything was amiss, nearly matching the Americans in possession (53 percent to 47 percent) and getting seven shots on goal.

The Americans are the top-ranked team in the world, two-time defending Olym-pic champions, and have the best goalkeeper (Hope Solo) and one of the best strikers (Wambach) in the game.

After going more than two years without a loss, the U.S. dropped three games in five months.

McCannscorchesMarinersBy The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Tommy Hanson wasn’t all that inter-ested in talking about his return from the disabled list.

“You want me to talk about how great Brian McCann is?” Hanson questioned. “He’s unbelievable.”

McCann is a good place to start, considering the hot streak he’s on right now.

McCann tormented Seattle pitching again with a tie-breaking two-run single in the seventh inning, part of a four-hit night by the Atlanta catcher, and the Braves ral-lied from a three-run deficit to beat the Mariners 5-4 on Tuesday night.

The Braves took advantage of late control problems by starter Michael Pineda (7-5) and the Mariners’ inability to come through with a clutch hit early against Hanson. Seattle left the bases loaded in the second inning, and run-ners on second and third in the fourth. They were limited to one run both times.

That gave Hanson (9-4) time to settle down, his offense time to rally and McCann another stage to shine.

And McCann did it both at the plate and in the field.

His two-run single off Seat-tle reliever Aaron Laffey in the seventh capped a three-run rally for the Braves. In the bottom of the seventh, McCann kept the Braves in front with a perfect throw on the back end of a double steal.

McCann threw out Adam Kennedy at second with Justin Smoak at the plate.

Repeat performanceSouth Carolina beats Florida for CWS championshipBy The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — South Carolina coach Ray Tanner didn’t go into the season expecting to win a second straight national championship.

His Gamecocks did that in record fashion, becoming the first team to go 10-0 in an NCAA Tournament and the first since Oregon State in 2007 to go unbeaten in a CWS with Tuesday night’s 5-2 win that completed a two-game sweep of Florida.

“The statistics, the per-centages of doing that are stacked against you,” Tanner said. “The only thing I kept holding onto was, ‘Let’s have a good team. Let’s have a good season. Let’s get to the postseason. Let’s get a chance to go to a regional.

“And then you try to do well when you get there.”

The Gamecocks (55-14) retooled their pitching staff, star center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. missed two months with a broken wrist and first baseman Christian Walker played through the same injury during the CWS finals.

Two of their five wins here came in walkoff fashion, and they worked out of bases-loaded situations four times over two games and had left fielder Jake Williams throw out a runner at the plate to prevent Florida from scoring the winning run in Game 1 of the finals.

By comparison, the clinch-ing victory was down-right boring. Michael Roth

pitched 72⁄3 innings on three days’ rest and the Game-cocks were in control throughout. The Gamecocks have the distinction of win-ning the first CWS at TD Ameritrade Park after win-ning the last one played at Rosenblatt Stadium.

“Beginning of the year I said we finished at the old one, so let’s try to open the

new one up,” said second baseman Scott Wingo, voted the CWS’ Most Outstanding Player. “Coach wasn’t sure we would get it, but I’m the type of guy who felt we were going to do it. I was think-ing of the Oregon State team the whole year.”

The Gamecocks’ streaks of 16 NCAA tournament wins and 11 straight in the CWS

are both the longest all-time.Florida, which has never

won a CWS championship, was left wondering what could have been.

“It’s nice to make steps,” Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “But, to be honest with you, the idea is to win this thing. Our goal year in, year out is to win a national championship.”

TeNNIsSharapova advancesto Wimbledon semifinals

WIMBLEDON, England — When Maria Sharapova says her game is getting better and better at Wim-bledon, it’s hard to argue.

The fifth-seeded Russian, the only quarterfinalist at the All England Club with a Grand Slam title to her name, dominated her match on Centre Court on Tuesday, moving back into the semifinals for the first time since 2006.

“I certainly feel like I’ve improved, especially from my second round,” said Sharapova, who beat 24th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova 6-1, 6-1 on another wet day at Wimbledon. “I think that’s really important if you want to get to the later stages, later stage of the second week, as well.

Sharapova won the Wimbledon title in 2004 when she was only 17. She made the semifinals the next two years, but hadn’t been back this far since.

To reach a second final, she’ll have to beat German wild-card entry Sabine Lisicki, who reached her first Grand Slam semifinal by defeating 2007 finalist Marion Bar-toli 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-1.

Crown Royal decides to abandon NASCAR sponsorshipCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —

Crown Royal will end its spon-sorship with Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the year, and parent company Diageo will not renew its deal as an official NASCAR partner.

Crown Royal has sponsored Matt Kenseth for the last two seasons, and the company sponsored Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray before that. Going forward, Crown Royal will only sponsor the Sprint Cup race at Richmond.

“In shifting our strategy, we will end our sponsorships with Roush Fenway Racing and NASCAR upon the con-

clusion of the 2011 season,” Yvonne Briese, Diageo North American Whisky vice presi-dent of marketing, said Tues-day in a statement.

“We have developed strong relationships with the people at both organizations — they have not only been fantastic business partners, but have also become our friends. We thank them for working with us throughout the years to showcase the importance of our social responsibility initiatives.”

Crown Royal has no compe-tition in NASCAR right now because Jim Beam and Jack

Daniel’s have left the series. NASCAR only allowed dis-tilled liquors in as spon-sors beginning with the 2005 season.

“We are obviously disap-pointed with the news, but first we would like to thank Diageo and Crown Royal for a terrific partnership that has spanned almost a decade,” Roush Fenway President Steve New-mark said in a statement.

“It’s unfortunate that they will not be able to continue to be a part of our organiza-tion. Fortunately, our race programs are operating at a higher level than ever. The No.

17 is an attractive, champion-ship-winning program with a storied history and Matt Kenseth an elite driver. We have already opened the door for discussions and are cur-rently in the process of speak-ing with companies interested in taking over the program for next season and beyond.”

RFR announced Tuesday that Affliction Clothing has added two more races of pri-mary sponsorship to Kenseth’s car, beginning with Satur-day night’s event at Daytona. Affliction has already spon-sored two races for Kenseth this season.

4-1A title, were second at the Class 1A South State meet and finished third overall at state.

Ford Biedenharn was Hodges’ starting point guard for the past two seasons and said Hodges brought an intensity to the basketball program.

“He’s what I call a coach’s coach,” Biedenharn said. “He knew a lot about basketball. We’d have our run-ins, but overall, I think Coach Hodges is a cool guy.”

Hodges, who was also a math teacher at the school, said he will miss his students.

“The school has great kids to work with,” Hodges said. “From a basketball point of view, there is still a lot of untapped potential. I think with more hard work, they can accomplish so much.”

The basketball positions at

St. Al have been a revolving door over the past five years.

Drew McBrayer went two seasons, including a 26-4 record with the girls in 2006 and a 22-8 mark with the boys, before leaving to become an assistant at New Hope. He is now the boys head coach at New Hope.

Kyt Bonner and Penn Majors led the Lady Flashes and Flashes, respectively, to division titles and first-round wins in the Class 1A playoffs in 2007. Former NBA star and assistant coach Larry Smith lasted just seven games in the 2007-08 season before leaving to go back to the NBA’s Developmental League, then later became head coach at Alcorn State University. Gary Miller and Carolyn Bradley finished out the year. Miller coached both teams in 2008-09 and retired.

Kennedy took off on a 3-0 pitch, and McCann’s perfect throw to second nabbed Ken-nedy as Ichiro Suzuki slid safely into third.

“I pretty much single-handedly lost that one. That

wasn’t good,” Kennedy said.It was a crucial out as

Dustin Ackley followed with an RBI single to pull Seattle within 5-4. If Kennedy was safe, he likely would have scored on Ackley’s hit.

Beatles’ photos in Memphis FridayAn exhibition of photographs of the Beatles is coming to

Memphis — the home of Elvis Presley and the birthplace of the blues.

The photos will be on display at the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum beginning Friday through Sept. 11.

The 36 photos were taken by Paul Beriff in 1963 and 1964. They chronicle the band’s meteoric rise as part of “Beatlemania” and the close friendship among the four.

The exhibit coincides with the 45th anniversary of the Beatles’ two shows in Memphis in 1966.

Attorneys: Gibson’s divorce nearly doneAn attorney for Mel Gibson’s estranged wife says the former

couple has nearly finalized their divorce. Attorney Laura Wasser told a judge Tuesday

that the pair have resolved all their issues and are doing some “final polishes” on the paper-work.

Wasser says the couple should have a judg-ment ready by Aug. 30.

Gibson’s attorney agreed with Wasser’s as-sessment.

Robyn Gibson filed for divorce in April 2009, just months before the Oscar winner’s then-girl-

friend gave birth to an infant daughter. He indicated in court fil-ings that the couple separated in 2006.

No details of how the couple’s assets will be divided was dis-cussed Tuesday, and Wasser indicated those details would re-main private.

Sheen’s wages docked for child supportA judge has ordered Charlie Sheen’s former bosses to garnish

$55,000 a month for child support from any payments they make to the former “Two and a Half Men” star.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg on Friday approved a request by Brooke Mueller Sheen to garnish any payments Warner Bros. Television makes to her ex-husband.

The former couple was divorced on May 2, about two months after Warner Bros’ fired Sheen from “Men.” The actor and the stu-dio have been fighting over payments ever since.

The hefty monthly payments are intended to support the Sheens’ twin sons and were part of a divorce settlement they reached earlier this year.

Lady Gaga sued over fundraising effortA lawsuit filed in Detroit claims music star Lady

Gaga is misleading her fans with an online pitch for donations for victims of the Japan earth-quake.

Lady Gaga’s website is selling $5 wristbands that say, “We Pray For Japan.” The website also al-lows people to make additional donations and says “all proceeds go directly to Japan relief ef-forts.”

But the lawsuit notes that sales tax and a $3.99 shipping charge are added. Detroit-area attor-ney Alyson Oliver believes not all money is going to help the Japanese. She wants an accounting.

Derek and Cassy McBride were married Saturday at Saint Vincent Health Center because Derek took the wrong kind of plunge a few hours earlier.

The wedding appeared doomed when tests showed Derek McBride had three bro-ken ribs and a punctured, col-lapsed lung.

But family and Saint Vincent nurses stepped up, decorat-ing the chapel with medical glove balloons and bows made of gauze. Guests were told the beach wedding was scrapped.


La. singer finalist for Rolling Stone coverNEW ORLEANS (AP) — By

any normal pop culture calcu-lus, little-known, Lafayette-born singer-songwriter Lelia Brous-sard had about as much chance of appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone this summer as, say, BeauSoleil fiddler Michael Doucet.

Lelia Broussard is one of two unknown artists who have a chance to be on the Aug. 18 cover of Rolling Stone.

But thanks to luck, pluck and a fortuitous contest, Broussard has a 50-50 shot at adorning popular music’s most presti-gious cover.

Broussard and hirsute Cana-dian blues, rock ’n’ boogie quar-tet the Sheepdogs are the two finalists in Rolling Stone’s first-ever “Choose a Cover” competi-tion. The winner will grace the magazine’s Aug. 18 edition and receive a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Fans can vote at RollingStone.com through Friday, July 1.

A RS cover nod both results from pop culture cachet, and boosts it. Over the past year, qualifiers have ranged from Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday to “Jersey Shore” star Snooki’s improbable rocket ride.

The contest, a brilliant bit of music industry synergy, is a partnership between the mag-azine, Atlantic and sponsor Garnier Fructis. Atlantic talent scouts helped select the initial 16 contestants, at least some of whom the label was consider-ing signing anyway.

These are not “American Idol”-style, sing-in-the-shower amateurs, but seasoned, if unsigned, acts. Both the Sheep-dogs and Broussard have criss-crossed North America and released indie albums. Brous-sard even inked a publishing deal, often the precursor to a full-blown recording contract.

“They wanted to have bands that have been working for a long time,” she said over the phone from Los Angeles

recently. “They didn’t want to prep the girl from Walmart that had a nice voice.”

The RS cover appearance will give Atlantic a head start pro-moting a relatively unknown artist. For Broussard, the con-test has already fast-tracked a career she assumed would advance more organically.

She grew up on Marie Antoi-nette Street in Lafayette, where much of her family still resides. Around age 10, she moved to Philadelphia when her mother married a man from Pennsylva-nia, and started playing guitar and writing songs. At 17, she set off for New York City and hit the club circuit, attending the “school of rock.”

A publishing deal enticed her to Los Angeles for a couple of years, but she’s now living in New York again. For years, she’s supported herself as a musician, touring in a van and cultivating a dedicated online fan base. She raised $15,000 via Kickstarter.com to fund her 2010 indie album, “Masquerade.”

Recorded in New York with producer Dan Romer, “Mas-querade” is a polished, con-fident collection of original material. The title track and “Satellite” are pop radio-ready. Shades of Sheryl Crow and Feist turn up in the mix, but

Broussard manages to sound like herself.

“I wanted people to like it, and to get to a new place in my career,” she said of her initial goal for “Masquerade.” “But I’ve learned to not have huge expectations. I wanted to let it happen naturally.”

The Rolling Stone contest altered that approach. Since advancing to the finals, she and Sheepdogs have embarked on a whirlwind of showcases and special appearances. Both acts recently performed at the Bonnaroo festival in Tennes-see. She’s been mentored by

the members of Lady Antebel-lum. Kid Rock counseled the Sheepdogs.

A prolific writer, she has a batch of new compositions ready to go should she win and land a deal with Atlan-tic. She’ll find out the results days before the winner is pub-licly announced Aug. 2 on the Jimmy Fallon show.

“It’s going to be a hair-pulling ordeal to wait that long to find out,” she said. The prospect of walking by a New York maga-zine kiosk and seeing herself staring out from the cover of Rolling Stone “is insane.

Winner might grace Aug. 18 edition, receive recording contract

LaBelle filescountersuitin beating case

HOUSTON (AP) — Veteran R&B diva Patti LaBelle says in a countersuit filed against a West Point cadet who claims she ordered her bodyguards to beat him up outside a Houston air-port terminal that the alter-cation began after the cadet hurled racial insults at her.

But an attor-ney for the cadet, Richard King, denied his client ever said any racial slurs to LaBelle.

King’s attorneys said he was waiting to be picked up by family outside one of the terminals at Bush Intercon-tinental Airport on March 11 when three of LaBelle’s body-guards attacked him without provocation.

King, who was in his home-town of Houston while on spring break from West Point, filed his lawsuit earlier this month, naming LaBelle, the three bodyguards, one of whom is the singer’s son, and two others as defendants.

King’s lawyers said the attacked resulted in a concus-sion and lingering dizziness and headaches for the cadet.

Producers adding new spirit to vodka, from oranges to honeyThe Associated Press

Potatoes? Passe. Grains? Groan. Vodka producers these days are exploring new hori-zons — oranges, anyone? — to make unusual and artisa-nal vodkas.

“A cocktail’s not just a cock-tail. It’s an experience now, so that demand has called for anything and everything that can be different,” says Tammy LaNasa, Dallas-based corpo-rate beverage director for Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, which includes 20 Sullivan’s Steakhouses and nine Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak-houses nationwide.

One of the latest entries in the vodka vanguard is 4 Orange, which is distilled

directly from oranges, as opposed to other vodkas where flavoring is added.

The vodka is made from orange molasses that remains after oranges have been juiced. Four different varieties of oranges are used, hence the name, and the result is a clear vodka with a distinct tang of orange.

“The response has been fan-tastic,’ says Timo Sutinen, vice president for marketing and business development at Imperial Brands Inc., which produces 4 Orange Premium Vodka. “When people hear that 4 Orange is made from Florida oranges, they have to

taste it. Once they taste it, we have won them over.”

The distillery is next to the orange juice plant in Florida and, in a green touch, the left-over mash from the distilling process is sold to local farmers for cattle feed.

The most popular spirit in America, vodka classically is a neutral product made most often from some type of grain.

But it can be made from just about anything starchy or sweet, inspiring distillers’ creative spirit.

Some examples — Ciroc Ultra-Premium vodka is made entirely from grapes, Vermont

Gold is made from maple sap, and on an equally sweet note, there’s Bee Vodka, triple-dis-tilled from New York State honey at the Hidden Marsh Distillery in Seneca Falls, N.Y. The distillery is owned and operated by the Martin family, who started out as bee keep-ers more than 30 years ago.

LaNasa expects to see more variations as distillers get in touch with their creative spirit.

Homeboy in jail says gang no substitute for familyDear Abby: I’m a 16-year-old

gangbanger looking at spend-ing the rest of my life isolated in a little bird cage. Every day I ask myself the same question. Was it really worth throwing my life away? All I did was help a “homeboy” from getting hurt. I got caught and was convicted on eight charges that led to more than four consecutive life sentences. That ain’t no joke! The sad part of it is that the so-called homeboy turned his back on me when I needed him most. I should’ve pulled away when I could’ve.

The main reason for this letter is to help parents and teens like myself who are choos-ing the wrong path to realize what you’re getting into while there is still time. Tell parents out there, if you see your kid is messing up in school, using drugs, hanging with the wrong crowd, anything that would lead to gang affiliation, reach out and help them while you still can before they’re in too deep. They (teens) turn toward gang life in search of the love

they need from their family. Or they want to fit in and be cool.

To all the gangbangers who think you’re cool and being a gangster, get away from it while you still can. It may be fun at the moment, but it’s not when you get caught and you have to spend the rest of your life behind bars. There’s better things to do in life than hang around all day frying your brain from all the drugs and alcohol. Trust me, when you’re behind bars thinking about what you did, you’ll be missing your family the most. You think your homeboys are going to be there for you? Well, let me tell you this ... they’re not! I guarantee you that the only people who are actually willing to change places with you are your par-

ents. Your REAL family. Do you think your homeboys want to do time for you? Hell, no!

I hope this letter helps some people out there. I just want to make a contribution to soci-ety before I get locked up in the dungeon forever. This is to show you not all gangbangers are evil and cruel. Life is short. Live it smart, not stupid. Now I can finally answer the question I ask myself, “Was it all worth it?” The money, the girls and all the material things go faster than you think and could all be taken away with the snap of a finger from the split second of a decision you make. It’s not worth your life. — Homesick Homeboy

Dear Homesick: You write well and your letter contains a powerful message. I’m print-ing it without editing. Let your experience be a warning to others. I hope from the sad cir-cumstances of your life some other young person will real-ize that a gang is a poor substi-tute for a family and the path to success does not stop at the

street corner.Dear Abby: Last week a dear

friend, Betty, passed away. She was a former neighbor and the kindest, gentlest, most patient soul I ever met. Although she was twice my age, we became good friends.

Two days after Betty died, I was on a work break. I had been thinking about her all morning and how she had influenced my life. Just then I saw a penny on the floor and picked it up. It was a 1992 penny — the year Betty and I first met. I knew right then it was a message from her letting me know she is OK.

Abby, this letter is my trib-ute to her, and a reminder to all who read it: Cherish your friends. You never know how long they — or you — will be around. — Tom in Santa Maria, Calif.

Dear Tom: That’s true. •

Double vision linkedto Graves’ disease

Dear Dr. Gott: Is Graves’ dis-ease curable? I have hyperthy-roidism and double vision I’m told is from the disease. What can I do?

Dear Reader: Graves’ dis-ease is not curable, but it’s com-pletely treatable. This type of hyperthyroidism occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, caus-ing it to produce an excess of a hormone known as thyroxine. The immune system cannot be prevented from attacking the thyroid gland, but fortunately there are several treatments available to lower the produc-tion of thyroxine and ease the symptoms.

Signs of the disorder may include a goiter (enlarged thy-roid gland), hand or finger tremor, irregular heartbeats, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and weight loss. The eyes may show signs of Graves’ ophthalmopa-thy, which most notably causes them to protrude beyond their protective orbits. The lids swell, the eyes might become red and, infrequently, double or blurred vision may be present.

Other serious complications from Graves’ involve the heart and include congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. CHF occurs when the heart is incapable of circulating suffi-cient blood to meet the needs of the body. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormality of the rhythm of the heart. Then there’s osteo-porosis from untreated Graves’ because excessive amounts of thyroid hormone leaches cal-cium from the bones, causing them to become brittle.

Treatment might include drugs known as beta blockers, radioactive iodine or anti-thy-roid medication to prevent the thyroid from producing exces-sive hormones. Control with radioactive iodine will cause the gland to shrink, symp-toms will be reduced, and the gland may ultimately reverse to a state of hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone) and require supplemental thy-roid hormones. This treatment option may worsen any symp-toms of Graves’ ophthalmo-pathy, so this may not be an option for you. The use of anti-thyroid medication for a year

or two may lead to long-term remission of the disease; how-ever, relapse can occur.

Make an appointment with an endocrinologist if you haven’t already done so. Visit a nutri-tionist who can review your diet and recommend specific foods to combat any weakness or fatigue. Plan to have labo-ratory testing at least on an annual basis.

If tomorrow is your birthday: In order to advance a person-al ambition in the coming months, it might become necessary to enter into some kind of partnership arrangement, even a unique alliance. Selecting the right person will be crucial.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It’s nice of them to offer, but don’t let associates attempt to do something for you that you feel you can do better, especially if it involves a matter that needs a per-sonal touch.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — There is a strong chance that an un-usual development might arise that could affect your material well-being if you’re not on top of it. Heed your instincts in han-dling the matter.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When you select your companions, choose those who are your equal intellectually. Don’t consid-er anyone who can’t keep up with your thinking and is nothing but a drag.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Impressive objectives are reachable, but only if you’re prepared to pay whatever price you must in order to achieve them. Unless you focus on success, you could easily be deterred.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — In order to win over supporters as well as have possibilities for success, your intentions must be clearly spelled out in advance. Tell it like it is, warts and all.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — A matter or project in which you’re involved can be further adjusted to potentially provide much greater rewards. Study it closely before you go off in a di-rection where there’s no turning back.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — As long as you’re realistic, you should be able to renegotiate a matter of significance. You may not get everything you want, but you might be able to rework it a bit.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — When planning your day, you should put fun and games at the bottom of your list, not at the top. By keeping your priorities in perspective, you should be able to get to do everything you desire.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Although there are periods when you want to work solely on your own, there are also days when a collective effort is far more advantageous. It might be one of those times.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Instead of concentrating only on negative factors, trust that something good is on its way that could benefit you in needed ways. It’s a development that unites, not divides.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — In order to help you operate with greater efficacy, your personal affairs might need to be reor-ganized a bit. Study your modus operandi to see what it is that needs some tweaking.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Seek out those friends or associ-ates who really believe in you and in what you’re doing if you think you need some financial or business advice. They’re the ones who’ll be the most positive and helpful.

Dr. Wallace: My father smokes in our house. Please give me the lowdown on secondhand smoke. Maybe the facts can get him to stop smoking or at least smoke outside. — Thomas, Sid-ney, Ohio.

Thomas: Make Dad aware that side-stream smoke (smoke coming from the end of a lit cigarette) has a higher concentra-tion of cancer-causing compounds than the smoke inhaled by the smoker. According to the Canadian Lung Association, there is twice as much tar and nicotine in side-stream smoke as in ex-haled smoke.

Furthermore, the human body attracts cigarette smoke. The smoke in a house gravitates and clings to people in much the same way that iron bits are drawn to a magnet. That’s why it is extremely important that your father refrain from smoking in the house!
