teen indicted in stepmother’s murder

By Pamela [email protected]

Tyla Vega, a 14-year-old Warren County girl accused of shooting her stepmother to death on May 2, has been indicted and, on Thursday, was formally charged with murder.

Her trial date was set for Feb. 21 in Warren County Circuit Court.

Vicksburg lawyer Mar-shall Sanders, Vega’s court-appointed attorney, entered a “not guilty” plea before Judge Isadore Patrick and requested that bond be set for the teen, who has been held without bond in the Warren County Jail since her arrest May 8 in Greenville.

Sanders pointed out Vega’s age, repeatedly referring to her as “the child,” and said she has been jailed with the “general population” of women inmates.

Female inmates occupy two large cells that hold multiple

prisoners.Objecting to bond, Assis-

tant District Attorney Lane Campbell told Patrick that

Vega is considered a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Patrick took the motion

under advisement and set a bond hearing for Aug. 12 at

administrativehires, changesset for schoolsBy Manivanh [email protected]

Changes and additions to the Vicksburg Warren School District’s list of adminis-trators for the 2011-12 school year were unani-mously approved by the school board Thursday, 11 days before the first day of school, Aug. 8.

Lee Dixon, a 31-year edu-cator from Baton Rouge, was named Grove Street School principal and Vicks-burg Junior High assistant principal John Johnson was promoted to principal at Beechwood Elementary School.

Property tax collectionsfall short for schoolsBy Manivanh [email protected]

Property tax collections received by the Vicks-burg Warren School Dis-trict from Warren County were slightly shy of the full amount requested as the fiscal year came to a close last month, district finan-cial manager Dale McClung told the Board of Trustees Thursday night.

At the close of the fiscal year June 30, fig-ures showed the district received $25,854,003 in dis-trict maintenance, home-stead exemption and negotiable notes, about 98 percent of the $26,357,933

budgeted, McClung said.Figures presented at

Thursday’s meeting showed this past year of tax collections was the first since 2007 that the district did not meet its budget request from the county.

“I’ll have to check with (Warren County) tax assessor to see why there was shortfall,” he told the board. “That was probably due to the economic situa-tion that we are in.”

McClung said he hopes to make up the $503,930 differ-ence by September.

More money needed for law and order, board toldBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

If no money is available next fiscal year for sheriff’s deputies to enforce the law and hire more help to prose-cute criminals, the ranks will thin further and the entire justice system will become slower, officials told Warren County supervisors Thurs-day as details on next year’s budget were hashed out.

Sheriff Martin Pace said salaries for 34 sworn, non-clerical deputies, five inves-tigators, chiefs of patrol and investigations and the under-sheriff need to increase by 10 percent to keep pace with other law enforcement agen-

cies locally and on the state and federal level.

“It’s absolutely critical,” Sheriff Martin Pace told supervisors, adding that a fourth year without at least a cost-of-living adjustment could take a toll on the total force by next year. “It is being reflected in my ability to recruit and retain.”

The sheriff is requesting $5,014,159, a drop of about $30,000 from the 2010-11 allot-ment of $5,044,658, to oper-ate the county law enforce-ment office and the Warren County Jail.

NATCHEZ (AP) — A federal jury has found Natchez Police Officer Elvis Prater not guilty of beating a man and lying to the FBI.

The verdict was returned Thursday in federal court in Natchez. Police Chief Mike Mullins said Prater will return to work.

Ex-con gets 65 years in killingof white supremacist Barrett

NESHOBA FAREWELLBarbour touts successes, outlines challenges

Jack Elliott Jr.The Associated Press

BRANDON — An ex-con-vict pleaded guilty Thursday to killing a white suprema-cist in his home and return-ing the next day to set fire to the crime scene.

Vincent McGee had been charged with capital murder after Richard Barrett’s body was found beaten, stabbed 16 times and burned in April 2010. But the 23-year-old black man admitted to the lesser charge of manslaughter, along with arson and burglary.

Prosecutors and McGee dis-

agree over why the outspoken supremacist was killed. McGee has said the 67-year-old made sexual advances toward him and that he didn’t know about his racist views. But shortly after the killing, the district attorney said he believed rob-

bery was the motive and that McGee had some of Barrett’s possessions.

Circuit Judge William Chap-man sentenced McGee to 65 years in prison, including 20 for manslaughter, 20 for arson and 25 for burglary. McGee has been in jail since his arrest days after the killing.

Barrett was known for trav-eling the country to promote segregationist views. He founded a group called the Nationalist Movement and ran it from an office in rural Mis-sissippi, about 20 miles from Jackson. He also operated a school for skinheads.

NESHOBA COUNTY (AP) — Outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour tossed around a few jokes and gave some advice to the state’s next chief executive during his farewell speech at the Neshoba County Fair on Thursday.

“I’ve wanted to make a speech at the fair that was nothing but jokes,” Barbour said. “And I’m tempted to do that today. My first joke should be the Obama job creation policy. What a joke it is.”

Barbour outlined his suc-cesses and the challenges his successor will face. He said he’s leaving the state budget in better shape than eight years ago, “but it isn’t flush.”

“The so-called rainy day fund contained only $9 million of unallocated reserves when I came in,” Barbour said. “As of June 30 of next year, budget projections show our unallo-cated state reserves will be at $285 million.”

“Still, spending control will have to be tight, as about $200 million in federal funds avail-able this year won’t be avail-able in the next fiscal year,” Barbour said. “... So the new governor and Legislature will

need to continue to be conser-vative next year, and thereaf-ter, if you ask me. The Obama Administration and the Nancy Pelosi Congress proved the country can’t spend itself rich any more than your family can spend itself rich.”

Barbour said per capita income over the last seven years in Mississippi has increased by more than 30 percent.

“That increase ranks our state 15th in the United States, and it will go up again in Mis-

sissippi this year despite the national recession,” he said. “Why? Because a main goal in job creation through the last 7 1/2 years has been to replace lower paying jobs with higher-skilled, high-tech, higher paying jobs. For decades businesses came to Mississippi looking for strong backs and low wages. Now they come looking for strong minds, and they’re willing to pay for them.”

WASHINGTON — This week the fiscal crisis was momentarily interrupted for a public service announcement.

The Pew Research Center issued a report showing that the racial dis-parity in net worth — the wealth gap in America — is growing. People of every background saw their assets decline during the Great Recession, but the liquidation was faster among African-Ameri-cans and Hispanics.

This is hardly surprising. Lower-income groups have more of their wealth concentrated in homeown-ership; higher-income Americans are more diversified in their assets. The housing collapse took a dispro-portionate toll on minority wealth.

The trend is less shocking than the baseline. In 1984, the ratio between white and black wealth was about 12-to-1. Now, the median net worth of whites is about 20 times that of blacks. According to the most recent figures, about 15 percent of white households have zero or negative net worth. The percentage is 35 percent among African-Americans.

Current economic distress is com-pounding a long-term problem. The possession of assets provides a measure of security during an economic shock, allowing a family

to weather a nasty bout of unem-ployment. In the absence of assets, unemployment can lead to dra-matic downward mobility. And the consequences accelerate over time, since wealth is often used to pur-chase quality education for chil-dren, a source of upward mobility.

This kind of problem is the reason liberals were created. At its best, liberalism has been about some-thing more than making a progres-sive tax code slightly more progres-sive. It brought equal opportunity to the forefront of American politics — Robert Kennedy drawing atten-tion to Appalachia, Sargent Shriver founding Head Start, Bill Clinton expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit. “We can perhaps remem-ber,” said RFK, “if only for a time, that those who live with us are our brothers; that they share with us

the same short moment of life; that they seek, as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in pur-pose and in happiness.”

Few liberals talk like that today, though the flame still flickers in places such as the Asset Build-ing Program at the New America Foundation, where Ray Boshara has conducted his long campaign to address the wealth gap. This chal-lenge does not lack for proposed responses, including subsidies for savings, the promotion of financial education and increased access to financial services.

Conservatives, however, also have a contribution to make in address-ing the wealth disparity, intended or not. They are the only ones cur-rently calling attention to a massive structural problem that will make serious social policy nearly impos-

sible in the future.The trajectory of American debt,

by nearly universal admission, is unsustainable. But the cause is not generally admitted on the left. As Yuval Levin points out, our future debt problem is “all about health care entitlements. And I mean all.” In the Congressional Budget Office’s projections, health care costs account for basically 100 per-cent of our exploding debt in the coming decades.

In about 40 years, health care entitlements — Medicare, Medi-caid, SCHIP and Obamacare — will overtake spending on everything else in the budget, including Social Security, defense and domestic dis-cretionary spending. “The federal government,” says Levin, “will basi-cally be a health insurer with some unusual side ventures like an army and a navy.”

One consequence would be to rule out any broad innovation on domes-tic policy. To make room for unre-formed entitlement commitments, discretionary spending would be so squeezed that even existing pro-grams on education, hunger, pov-erty and homelessness would be tough to maintain.

For proof, the current budget debate will suffice. Republicans oppose new taxes. Democrats

oppose serious entitlement reform. Apparently the only thing on which they can agree is further reductions in discretionary spending, which have already taken the brunt of cuts in the recent past.

More libertarian-leaning Republi-cans may find this a welcome devel-opment — though it only briefly postpones a deficit reckoning. For Democrats, the matter is more com-plex. Health entitlements are great liberal achievements, and pre-serving them is an effective politi-cal appeal. But maintaining these past achievements in their current form may preclude the possibility of significant future achievements in the promotion of equal opportu-nity. An ideology that merely pro-tects the past is not recognizably progressive.

In normal times, a worsening social problem like the wealth gap might unite creative liberals and compassionate conservatives in an unlikely policy alliance. Meetings would take place at the New Amer-ica Foundation. Bipartisan legisla-tion would be introduced.

It is a Washington I can remem-ber — but now seems impossibly distant.

Does this mean that all of the suspect products are now out of the public’s reach? Maybe not.

Reporters found evidence that recalled alcohol wipes remain in circulation. And the Government Accountability Office recently found gaps in FDA oversight of recalls of some products. The GAO noted that the FDA didn’t always complete audit checks as required during recalls or con-duct post-recall inspections.

The FDA should clean up its procedures and ensure that the public is aware of recalls. And it should push the industry to adopt a bar code system for recalls that could give consumers and health care workers easy access to this information.

The FDA claims that the Triad recall was effective, but it has been unwilling to release audit reports showing its findings and measures taken against the company, claiming that release of its reports could disclose trade secrets or harm enforce-ment actions. The agency should release those reports.

News reports have shown that it can be difficult to tell whether a particular product is part of a recall. Reporters cited the expe-rience of a woman who bought a box of alcohol swabs at a Wal-greens that did not carry the Triad or H&P label. After reading the newspaper’s story about the recall in June, Mary Ann Beau-mont became concerned and told reporters that she called the drugstore to get more informa-tion. Eventually, she got a call from Triad telling her to throw away the swabs. Many consum-ers won’t be as persistent as Beaumont, and they shouldn’t have to be.

Over a period of several years, the FDA failed to intervene after repeated problems were noticed in Triad’s manufactur-ing arm, H&P Industries. Instead of taking enforcement action, the agency handed out verbal warnings. Finally in April, FDA actions effectively shut down the company’s Hartland plant. Triad and H&P have denied there is a link between their prod-ucts and the death of the Hous-ton boy and other reported ill-nesses. The company is planning to restart operations under FDA monitoring.

The FDA needs to tighten up its recall procedures and find other ways to ensure that the public is aware when recalls are announced — including making its own website more accessi-ble and urging the industry to adopt a bar code system for recall alerts. The public needs better access to this critical information.

Gaps found in agency’s oversight

A4 Main


of Warren Central Interme-diate School following the departure of longtime edu-cator Dr. Edward Wiggins in May. Magee’s move leaves the elementary school’s assistant principal position vacant.

Antonio Cooper, approved last month to be Grove Street’s dean of students, was moved to take Johnson’s place as assistant principal.

Jason McKellar, a six-year eighth-grade and GED teacher at Grove Street, was chosen as the school’s dean of students, a new nonadminis-trative position that oversees student discipline.

The move to place Cooper, who has a bachelor’s and master’s in education from Alcorn State University, at VJH came when Johnson was promoted.

“Mr. Cooper had an admin-istrative degree, and we were impressed, but we didn’t have an administrative position open at the time of his hire,” Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford said.

Johnson, Cooper and Mc-Kellar were all placed in the interim capacity.

“This late in the summer, we put the interim place-ments to be ready to open schools,” she said. “We feel comfortable with the placements.”

Three district veterans were hired to fill three of five new subject area instruc-tional coach positions approved by the board in April.

Tracy Gordon, a 20-year veteran, was hired on as the English coach; Nancy Robert-son, a 16-year veteran, as the fine arts coach; and LaToya Lott, a six-year veteran, as the math coach.

Coaches for science and social studies have not been hired, Swinford said adding January could be the earliest she would begin looking to fill the positions.

Gordon is a former lead teacher at Bovina Elemen-tary School; Robertson was Warren Central High School’s choir director; and Lott is a former sixth-grade math teacher at Warren Cen-tral Intermediate School.

Replacing Robertson is Terry Walker, who recently received his master’s degree in music education K-12 from the University of South-ern Mississippi. Walker will join Daniel Vernon as choir co-directors.

Dixon is retiring from his position as director of excep-tional services in the East Baton Rouge Parish School District, where Swinford pre-viously worked. He replaces former Grove Street princi-pal Kelvin Wymbs, who at the end of May took a principal’s position at Lower Richland High School in Columbia, S.C.

“He served as director of special education,” Swinford said. “He’s very easy to work with and very knowledgeable

of different strategies to work with alternative kids.”

A New Orleans native, Dixon received his bache-lor’s in elementary education from Southeastern Louisiana University and a master’s in administrative supervision from Louisiana State Univer-sity. He and his wife, Ruby, will be moving to Vicksburg in September, when he will begin his new position, he said.

“I do pledge my dedication as well as my commitment to provide a quality educa-tion for the students at that school,” he told the board Thursday.

Johnson has been an administrator with the dis-trict for eight years, of which three were spent as VJH assistant principal. A Morton native, Johnson received his bachelor’s from Tougaloo College and his master’s from Jackson State University. He is working on a doctorate in education.

Chris Perritt, who was prin-cipal at Beechwood for one year, resigned at the end of May to accept an assistant principal position at Madison Central High School in Madi-son County, where he and his family live.

Salaries for the positions announced Thursday were not available.

During the past school year, Beechwood enrolled 602 students in grades K-6, WCI enrolled 593 students in grades 3-6 and Grove Street had 250 students in 12 grades.

The VWSD employs about 669 licensed teachers, administrators and special-ists and about 609 classified staff including secretaries, cafeteria workers, drivers and other noninstructional personnel.

Board members at Thurs-day’s meeting were District 1 Trustee Bryan Pratt, District 2 Trustee Zelmarine Murphy, District 4 Trustee Joe Loviza and District 5 Trustee Sally Bullard. District 3 Trustee Jim Stirgus Jr. was absent for personal reasons.

Q: My cousin is married but has been separated for more than 10 years. They didn’t

divorce due to her being able to stay on his health insur-ance. Her hus-band is a big

spender and if he should pass away could she be liable for the balance on his credit card? It is not a joint account. — Pat, via e-mail

A: The fact that your cousin

is separated in most situa-tions is of no concern, because she and her husband are still married! The fact is that if he passes away and he leaves a large credit card balance it is not unusual. If there are assets in his estate those assets would have to be used to settle the account. If there is no estate your cousin has no obligation to satisfy those debts since she is not on the credit account. If there are others on any of his accounts, they may have obligations. It would seem to me that your cousin is safe.

three facilities and also an apartment complex for the disabled after securing $2.17 million in grant funds. My record proves I take care of business regardless of the task.

Whittington: What distin-guishes me from the other candidates are my qualifica-tions. The chancery clerk is by statute the county auditor and treasurer. I am a certi-fied public accountant with five years of governmental auditing experience. I have a bachelor of science in com-merce and business admin-istration. I am also currently the accounting director for the City of Vicksburg, where I am responsible for many of the same duties as the chan-cery clerk. The chancery clerk’s office deserves some-

one with the appropriate education, strong ethics and sufficient work experience to carry out those duties.

2. Clerks of the chancery court system in Mississippi are paid $90,000 a year, and service-based fees can push annual salaries past $100,000. Is this arrange-ment for a county-level office justified?

Hardy: Yes, if checks and balances are in place to reduce the opportunity for abuse. The clerk’s operating account is built from the col-

lection of fees but until she accumulates enough money to run her office, she must personally borrow the neces-sary funds to meet her obli-gations. This is easier to do when one can demonstrate a sufficient earning poten-tial to her lender. However, I do not advocate the clerk allowing her salary to go that high if her employees are underpaid or the public is not receiving the benefit of new services and technology because “we don’t have the money.”

Whittington: I think that

depends on what you expect. The chancery clerk’s office, with its various duties, is the hub of all county govern-ment. If you expect someone to simply manage the staff, then, as a taxpayer, I feel the position may be overpaid. I intend not only to perform the duties of the office, but to search for efficiencies and improvements in order to better serve the citizens.

3. What tops your list of priorities for the office if elected?

Hardy: I would like to look

at creating any new services or tweaking existing services that would lead the office to become more efficient, cost-effective and user-friendly for both customer and staff. Through talking with the public, the most mentioned requests are to make public records available online and to set the office up to accept credit cards and other elec-tronic payments. These are reasonable requests and both should be achievable.

Whittington: If elected chancery clerk, my top prior-ity will be to familiarize and

educate myself with all pro-cesses of the office, particu-larly the land redemption procedures. Land redemp-tions are a very important duty of the clerk’s office. Also of high importance will be to make public records avail-able online while protecting against disclosure of pri-vate information. I believe this convenience would be greatly appreciated by the citizens and professionals who utilize this office on a regular basis.

lect within this time period will be included in a tax sale in August,” he said. “We usu-ally receive funds for that in September so that may offset some of the dollars that we have not received for current fiscal year.”

The past year’s request also was the largest in previous years, he said, thus the per-centage received is distorted.

In 2010, the district received $25,906,395, or 1.09 per-cent over their request, and $23,920,767, or .52 percent over their request in 2009.

Property taxes are due by Jan. 31 and most of the taxes are usually received in the following two months.

In the new fiscal year that began July 1, the projected ad valorem tax collection was increased to $27,651,252, about 35 percent of the $79 million revenue budget.

Meanwhile, Superinten-dent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford’s request to pur-chase a new computer pro-gram called BoardDocs at a cost of around $7,000 was not approved with split vote between the four board mem-bers who were present.

District 1 Trustee Bryan Pratt and District 5 Trustee Sally Bullard voted in favor of the program while District 2 Trustee Zelmarine Murphy and District 4 Trustee Joe Loviza dissented.

District 3 Trustee Jim Stir-gus Jr. was absent for per-sonal reasons.

“We’re not saying we don’t want this,” Loviza said fol-lowing the vote. “We’re saying it’s a luxury item and in the second semester, we’ll probably be in better shape to know what we’ll need.”

The program is a web-based application that would allow the public to access district information includ-ing board meeting agendas and minutes. The implemen-tation of the program would have eliminated a board meeting’s paper trail.

Swinford said she will take the request to the board again in a few months.

us,” Pace said. “We have lost officers to the

(Mississippi) Bureau of Nar-cotics. We have lost officers to the Mississippi Highway Patrol. We have lost officers to college campus police departments. We are signifi-cantly less in terms of salary package than other agencies around us.”

The list of draws also includes the Vicksburg Police Department, which pumped up salaries last year to new officers to about $28,300, plus incentives for education and experience.

“These guys work around the clock without ever bat-ting an eye,” Pace said, men-tioning the longer hours worked by deputies during flooding this year.

“I had deputies sleeping on the floor of a fire station for two months,” Pace said.

More than $312,000 in new spending from the general fund assumes five new patrol cars and equipment are purchased, plus an array of forensic equipment such as a field lamp and a camcorder. Funds from a federal anti-crime grant are expected to help finance one of the new vehicles.

County Administrator John Smith said the sheriff’s pro-posal shows a cut in spending except on salaries.

Election talk for Pace, whose $78,000 annual salary is set by state law, and all five supervisors, two of whom face opponents Tuesday, was kept minimal. Instead, Pace said career-minded offi-cers will continue to follow the money — out of Warren County — and even solid recruiting ground at criminal justice classes at Alcorn State University isn’t so fertile due to low entry-level salaries.

“You take these mid- to late-20s officers with good educa-tion and good training... most of them have young families,”

Pace said. “You can’t blame them, I can’t blame them.”

Supervisors cast the need for raises as a systemwide issue unlikely to change this year because they want to build up cash reserves to avoid another mid-year loan. The 2011 budget balanced to the penny a $14.8 million list of spending items. Currently, the county expects $2.185 mil-lion in reserves this year — a mark below the $3.5 million supervisors say they need to avoid a fourth consecu-tive “tax anticipation loan” to cover shortfalls in the gen-eral or road and bridge funds.

“Unfortunately, that’s the way it is with all of our employees,” District 4 Super-visor Bill Lauderdale said. “As for the cost of living, we’re all in the same boat.”

“Most of your employees aren’t college-educated or military employees serving the community in life-and-death situations 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Pace responded sharply. Later in the two-hour session, Dis-trict Attorney Ricky Smith, who drew no opponent for a second term, told supervi-sors they must find money to pay a third assistant district attorney in 2012 to make up for a grant, or gains made in processing cases could slip away. Smith, a former defense lawyer, said 788 cases were completed by his office in 2010, up from 452 in 2006 under former DA Gil Martin.

“I attribute a lot of that to the addition of a third assis-tant district attorney,” Smith said.

In June, the DA’s office was denied by the federal govern-ment for another round of grants to pay a third assis-tant prosecutor. Money from the Violence Against Women Act had paid the position held by Assistant DA Lane Camp-bell since 2009. Campbell moved into a state-funded position to team with Assis-tant DA Angela Carpenter in April when Dewey Arthur left for a prosecutor’s job in Rankin County. A third-year

law student has interned this summer, rounding out the staff, Smith said.

Smith also said more fines were collected with three assistants instead of two — $141,182.85 in 2010, compared to $112,789.37 in 2009. The office calculated $87,629.18 collected in 2011 through June 30. The figures had not been cross-checked with the circuit clerk’s office, Smith said. Also, he said, his office tracked occupancy in Warren County Jail averaged under 100 more often when his office had three assistants. Capacity is 120; a $1.3 million budget request for the jail includes a $50,000 item for a population manager, a post which remains unfilled.

“If we don’t get a third ADA, we’re going to have to scale back on the number of cases we prosecute,”he said.

“I can see a time where we’re going to have to start saying, well, all right, we got a grand larceny where an individual stole a trac-tor worth $600 — that’s just over the $500 range — and we’ve got four murders in the county. Well, that tractor’s going to go back to justice court and let them handle it because we’re going to focus on the four murders.”

Formulas based on popula-tion determines the size of district attorney’s offices in Mississippi. Warren, Shar-key and Issaquena comprise the 9th Circuit Court District, the population of which has dictated two assistants since the mid-1990s, Smith said. He predicts those likeliest to apply for the third assistant position will have five to 15 years of experience, which would dictate a $81,426.60 base salary, with benefits pushing it to about $102,000.

Smith told supervisors his office has asked the circuit clerk’s office to supply him with monthly lists of who’s behind in fine and fee pay-ments, as well as confer more regularly with probation offi-cers and both circuit court judges to track who’s late.

9 a.m.Vega, 100 Jones Road, Lot

19, is accused of shooting her stepmother, Michelle Vega. Tyla Vega was seen driving away from the family’s home minutes before Michelle Vega’s body was found. She was arrested after a six-day, multicounty search.

If convicted of murder, Tyla Vega faces life imprisonment.

Though juveniles accused of felonies are usually not identified — their cases usually are heard in Youth Court — Mississippi law requires that those 13 and older accused of crimes such as murder and those that include the use or attempted use of a deadly weapon be tried as an adult, District Attorney Ricky Smith said.

The teen appeared calm and impassive during Thurs-day’s proceeding, which was attended by several observ-ers apparently in her sup-port. Vega nodded to them as she was taken by deputies back to the jail.

Vega was one of 10 defen-dants arraigned Thursday following grand jury indict-ments issued this week. Additional arraignments are set for today.

The panel of 18 grand jurors was also expected to review the homicide case against Winifred Allen, 64, 2255 Freetown Road, Lot 1. Allen was arrested May 26 at 1254 Dillon Ridge Road, where his son, Gerald Wayne “Jerry” Allen, who was 36 and lived at 1626 Broadhill Drive, had been shot multiple times. Winifred Allen was charged with murder.

The cases of two others, both charged in May with homicide, Corey Thompson, 25, 4880 U.S. 80, arrested for the accidental shooting death of his co-worker, and Daniel O’Neil Dodd, 28, of Tyler, Texas, charged with armed robbery and capital murder

following a botched robbery attempt, were also expected to be reviewed by grand jurors, Smith said.

The grand jury, sworn in by Patrick on Monday, reviewed the evidence in more than 120 felony cases before concluding its service late Thursday. They issued more than 100 indictments, he said.

Indictments are not made public until defendants are arraigned in circuit court — formally advised of the charges against them and given a trial date.

Grand jurors also toured the jail, the Warren County Children’s Shelter and the Youth Court.

They also issued a report of recommendations, which was expected to be made public today.

Others arraigned Thursday and their charges were:

• Billy Wayne Broadwa-ter, 54, 7373 U.S. 80 — driv-ing under the influence, third offense, March 31.

• William Clarence Elliott, 57, 141 Cumberland Road — sexual battery, victim under age 14, March 13, and posses-sion of a weapon after felony conviction, March 14.

• Anthony Ray Evans, 18, 3009 Oak St. — burglary of a dwelling, Dec. 15.

• Antonio Henderson, 30, 2727 Alcorn Drive — aggra-vated assault-extreme indif-ference, Jan. 2.

• Michael Levon Parker, 26, 40 Ironwood Drive — fleeing or eluding a law enforcement officer, Dec. 18.

• Antonio Ragsdale, 33, 1415 High St. — domestic aggra-vated assault-strangling, Sept. 3.

• Amber Marie Savell, 23, 1702 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. — felony shoplifting, Nov. 18.

• Jason Kyle Skinner, 19, 310 Dogwood Lake Drive — attempted burglary of a dwelling, April 24.

• William Taylor, 21, address unavailable — pos-session of stolen firearms and receiving stolen prop-erty, Dec. 30.

Valera derivaux HUNTSVILLE, Ala. —

Valera Derivaux, 76, of Huntsville, Ala., passed away early Tuesday morning at home.

Valera moved to Hunts-ville with her husband in 1963 to begin an ophthalmol-ogy practice. In addition to the responsibilities of raising five children, Valera always found time to help others in need. She volunteered many years for “Meals on Wheels” and at local nursing homes. She also worked with several charitable groups associated with Holy Spirit Catholic Church, including St. Vincent de Paul Society, Edenderry Social for the Elderly, Funeral Dinners, etc. Valera once received an award enti-tled “Love in Action,” and anyone who knew her would understand why this award best exemplifies her life.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Derivaux (Oct. 27, 2004); daughter, Michelle (1999); grandchild, Donny (1995); and, earlier this year, two brothers, Father John and Father Billy.

Survivors include her mother, Valera Vollor of Vicksburg; brothers, Tim and Frank; children, Desiree Harris and husband John, Donald Derivaux and wife Rebecca, Denise Gillespie and husband Mike, and Andree Grondin and hus-band Steve; 11 grandchil-dren; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be from 5 to 7 tonight with a Rosary at 7 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Airport Road. The funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at the church. Burial will be at Maple Hill Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memori-als may be made to St. Vin-

cent de Paul Society, 625 Air-port Road, Huntsville, AL 35802.

Katherine Stout duncan

A memorial service for Katherine Stout Duncan, for-merly of New York City and Vicksburg, will be held at her daughter Mace Duncan Ohleyer’s home at 380 Union St., Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sept. 10.

Katherine died in Moun-tain Valley Hospice in Glov-ersville, N.Y., on March 22, 2011. With her at her death were her daughter Mace, her son Christopher, and their spouses Stuart Ohleyer and Alice Smith Duncan. The cause was cancer.

Katherine, known to all as Kitty, was born Mary Kath-erine Stout in Vicksburg, the only child of Dr. Norman H. Stout and Katherine Bell Stout. She attended All Saints’ School in Vicksburg and Mississippi College for Women.

In 1944, she met James Duncan of Harrisburg, Pa., then serving in the Navy, and they later married. The couple moved to Chester-town, Md., while her hus-band attended Washington College on the GI Bill. After his graduation they moved to New York City, where Kitty began working in the offices of Goldman Sachs. She soon moved on to an administrative position at Videotape Productions, the first television tape facil-ity in New York, where she met and worked with many well-known figures including Carol Burnett, Burgess Mer-edith, Zero Mostel and Salva-dor Dali.

After 10 years, Kitty left Videotape to become the manager of Showroom Outlet, a prop agency that furnished sets for movies and many daytime soap operas. She also worked as a model for the photo agency Funnyface, and her pictures were featured in ads for Bell Telephone, Sara Lee and Pepperidge Farm.

In 1976, she retired from Showroom and moved back to Vicksburg to take care of her parents and restore a family home on Fort Hill. That year she became direc-tor of the Red Cross in Vicks-burg where, in addition to working on many emergen-cies, she developed evacu-ation plans for the nuclear reactor in Port Gibson. After retiring from the Red Cross, she continued working part time at the Mississippi Tour-ist Bureau in Vicksburg.

Kitty returned to New York City in 2005, living in Brooklyn with her daugh-ter and family. In summer 2010, having been diagnosed with a terminal illness, Kitty toured the northeast visit-ing friends and family, then selected Mountain Valley Hospice as the most appro-priate place for palliative care. She continued her cou-rageous battle with cancer that had begun many years earlier.

Kitty will be remembered by all who knew her for her charm, wit, style and grit.

She is survived by son, Christopher of Canajoha-rie, N.Y.; daughter, Mace of Brooklyn; two granddaugh-ters, Ella of Ithaca, N.Y., and Venice of Brooklyn; and James Duncan of New York City.

Contributions may be made to the ASPCA and the Heifer Foundation.

Soldier condemnedFort Hood shootings

KILLEEN, Texas — Offi-cials said a Muslim soldier who once condemned the fatal shootings of 13 people at Fort Hood now has admitted planning to launch his own attack there.

Naser Abdo cited the 2009 Fo r t H o o d a t t a c k i n an essay he wrote while he was seek-ing conscien-tious objec-tor status . He wrote the attack was “counter to what I believe in as a Muslim.”

Abdo went absent with-out leave from Fort Camp-bell, Ky., earlier this month. He was approved this year as a conscientious objector, but his discharge was put on hold amid military charges that child pornography was found on a computer he used.

Tropical Storm Donnearing Texas coast

MIAMI — Tropical Storm Don is moving closer to southeast Texas.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Don’s maximum sustained winds early today were near 50 mph. It’s expected to make landfall tonight or Saturday.

Economy slowedin first half of year

WASHINGTON — The economy expanded at a meager 1.3 percent annual rate in the spring after scarcely growing at all in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Depart-ment said today.

The combined growth for the first six months of the year was the weakest since the recession ended.

The government revised the January-March figures downward to show just 0.4 percent growth — down sharply from its previous estimate of 1.9 percent.

NATIONBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Senate Democrats to move ahead with debt-limit bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid served notice today that he’s pushing ahead with his debt-limit bill as House Speaker John Boehner’s rival measure languished in limbo, further escalating a wrench-ing political standoff that has heightened fears of a market-rattling government default.

“This is likely our last chance to save this nation from default,” Reid declared

glumly on the Senate floor, as a Tuesday’s deadline drew closer.

Reid’s move came with Boeh-ner’s bill still in wait of a vote and a bitter standoff between GOP leaders and their conser-vative rank and file. Demoral-ized House Republicans were striving for a third straight day to pass the Boehner bill, even though it had virtually no chance of surviving the Senate.

Reid, D-Nev., said he had invited Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to join him in negotiations.

“I know the Senate com-promise bill Democrats have offered is not perfect in Republicans’ eyes. Nor is it perfect for Democrats,” Reid said. “But together, we must make it work for all of us. It is the only option.”

Reid’s move sets up a show-down vote on Sunday.

Boehner, R-Ohio, suffered a stinging setback Thursday when, for a second consecu-tive day, he had to postpone a vote on his proposal to extend the nation’s borrowing author-ity while cutting federal spend-ing by nearly $1 trillion.

Republicans were trying again today. If they continued to fail, then President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats would have extensive leverage to shape a bill to their liking

and practically dare the House to reject it and send the nation into default.

Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said today he believed Boehner was “very close” to having the necessary votes for passage the second time around.

“I’m confident the speaker will get there today,” he said.

SIdELINESIrabu found deadin apparent suicide

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hideki Irabu joined the New York Yankees 14 years ago in a swell of in-ternational excitement. The quirky, flamethrow-ing Japanese right-hand-er seemed destined to become a pioneering star for American baseball’s marquee franchise.

Irabu never reached those enormous expecta-tions, and his career spi-raled. On Wednesday, the 42-year-old was found dead, an apparent sui-cide in a home in Rancho Palos Verdes, a wealthy Los Angeles suburb.

“He was a world-class pitcher,” said former ma-jor league manager Bob-by Valentine, who man-aged Irabu in Japan in 1995. “When Nolan Ryan saw him, he said he had never seen anything like it. There were just some days when he was as good a pitcher as I had ever seen. A fabulous arm.”

Los Angeles County cor-oner’s official Ed Winter said his office is investi-gating Irabu’s death as a suicide, revealing no ad-ditional circumstances. An autopsy will be per-formed today or Satur-day.

Irabu was billed as the Japanese version of Ryan when he arrived in the United States in 1997, a hard-throwing starter with a 98-mph fastball who excelled as a strike-out specialist — an al-most unfair addition to the defending World Se-ries champions.

Woodsreturnsnextweek

CountytourneystartsSaturday

By The Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tiger Woods returns to golf under a new set of circumstances.

He no longer has the caddie he employed for the last 12 years, having fired Steve Williams a month ago. He no longer is among the top 20 in the world, his lowest ranking since Allen Iverson was an NBA rookie. And he might not even be eli-gible to play on the PGA Tour after a couple of weeks. After missing two majors during an 11-week break to make sure his left leg was fully healed, Woods announced Thurs-day evening on Twitter and on his website that he would return next week at the Bridgestone Invitational.

“Feeling fit and ready to tee it up at Firestone next week. Excited to get back out there!” he tweeted.

By missing three months — but only four tournaments he would typically play — Woods has gone from No. 81 to No. 133 in the FedEx Cup standings. Only the top 125 players qualify for the opening round of the playoffs at The Barclays, likely leaving him only two tournaments to make up ground.

Warren County will have a new golf champion Sunday.

Four-time defending champion Chase Smith will not return to make it five straight titles at the Warren County Champi-onship tournament that begins Saturday at Clear Creek Golf Course in Bovina. Smith, who ended a standout four-year colle-giate golf career at Delta State University, has a job in the medical supply field and is undergo-ing training this week in Birmingham.

Clear Creek pro and tournament director Kent Smith, who is Chase’s dad, felt the odds would not have been in his son’s favor had he entered.

“Chase hasn’t played much competitive golf since his senior season ended at Delta State,” Smith said. “He’s burned out. He’s got a job and is living in Jackson and I guess he’s out of the tournament for the foreseeable future unless he moves back to

McCutchen, Pirates take down AtlantaBy The Associated Press

ATLANTA — For Atlanta, it was the series that wouldn’t end. It was also the series in which the Braves couldn’t hit.

Andrew McCutchen had three hits, including a go-ahead double in the fifth inning and a two-run homer in the ninth, and the Pitts-burgh Pirates beat the Braves 5-2 on Thursday night for a split of the four-game series.

The series began with a 2-hour rain delay in the Pirates’ 3-1 win on Monday night. Then came Atlan-ta’s 4-3 win in 19 innings in a game that lasted almost 7 hours, followed by the Braves’ 2-1 win in 10 innings on Wednesday night.

Finally, Thursday night’s game included a 47-minute rain delay.

“We all feel like it was a

20-game series,” Braves catcher David Ross said. “The rain delay today was the icing on the cake.”

The Braves’ lack of offense was a common theme throughout the series.

“We just didn’t swing the bats,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

The lack of offense may give Braves general manager Frank Wren more to con-sider as Sunday’s trade dead-line nears.

Wren told The Associ-ated Press on Thursday he made inquiries about Carlos Beltran and Colby Rasmus before those players were traded this week and he continues to pursue ways to help his team’s push for the playoffs.

Atlanta has been linked in trade speculation involving Houston’s Hunter Pence, San Diego’s Ryan Ludwick and other outfielders.

Warren Central hires Cable as next hoops coach

Saints make some key movesLeft tackle Jermon Bushrod will stay in New Orleans, and Darren Sproles signs

By Jeff [email protected]

After a five-month wait, Warren Central has a new boys basketball coach.

The Vicksburg Warren Board of Trustees gave unan-imous consent at its July meeting Thursday evening to hire Brandon High School assistant coach Chareck Cable.

The hiring ends a long search to replace Jesse John-son, who was fired following a 9-17 season at Warren Cen-tral. Two prominent coaches,

Thomas Bil-lups of Lanier and Robert Byrd of New Hope, were initially offered the position and then backed out at the last minute.

Cable was not in the Warren Central search com-mittee’s top three, but was among the top seven who interviewed.

He had a long wait until being hired, but didn’t mind

after being introduced Thursday evening.

“I’m thankful for the Vicks-burg Warren School Dis-trict for giving me this great opportunity,” Cable said. “The search has been resolved and now it’s about coaching basketball.”

Vicksburg Warren superin-tendent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford was relieved to fill the position with Cable, who’s been an assistant for five years under Fredrick Barnes.

“I think we’ve been rewarded by getting an

excellent individual who has shown a great deal of profes-sionalism when in comes to coaching basketball,” Swin-ford said at the conclusion of the Board of Trustees meeting.

“He might not have a state championship on his record, but we feel he has sufficient experience and he can lead an emerging program like Warren Central. We also feel he has an excellent mentor in Coach Dellie C. Robinson and we hope he can build

By Brett MartelThe Associated Press

METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints needed less than a day to replace Reggie Bush with another versa-tile running back who knows a thing or two about making defenders miss in the open field.

Free agent Darren Spro-

les agreed Thursday night to a four-year contract with New Orleans, which will

be his second NFL team.

“I’m a Saint now!” Sproles said in an email

to The Associated Press. “Can’t wait to

get started.”The Bush trade gave the

Saints financial flexibil-ity. By the time players reported to the club’s sub-urban New Orleans head-

quarters, the Saints had secured new contracts with several veteran free agents who were with the squad last season, including left tackle Jermon Bushrod.

“I love Bushrod. That entire offensive line. I think continuity is so important when you look at the offen-

sive line as a unit,” quarter-back Drew Brees said. “As I look around the league, the offenses that really are at the top of the league are the ones that year in, year out, consistently have that group up front that they stay together.”

The 5-foot-6 Sproles has spent his first six NFL season with the San Diego Chargers. He has two career touchdowns on

BayBears continuemastery over M-Braves

With the bases loaded in the top of the seventh, A.J. Pollock deliv-ered a three-run double to right field to give the Mobile BayBears an eighth consecutive win over the Mississippi Braves, 5-3, on Thurs-day at Trustmark Park.

Pollock and Taylor Harbin com-bined to drive in all five BayBears’ runs. Jake Elmore, Ollie Linton, and Pollock each had two-hit nights at the plate.

Wes Roemer (7-6) went six frames to secure the victory. He gave up three runs, two earned, on seven hits and three strikeouts. Mike DeMark came in to work a score-less ninth and record his sixth save of the season.

M-Braves’ starter Luis Avilan (2-6) went six innings. He gave up four earned runs on eight hits while striking out three.

Bob Bradley fired as U.S. men’s coach

Amid concerns that progress had stalled during his tenure, Bob Brad-ley has been fired as coach of the U.S. men’s national soccer team.

In a surprising announcement Thursday, U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said Bradley had been relieved of his duties.

Bradley was chosen as coach in January 2007 and went 43-25-12 overall. He helped lead the team to the Round of 16 of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. But the United States is coming off a poor showing in the Gold Cup tournament, includ-ing a stunning 2-1 loss to Panama and an embarrassing 4-2 loss in the championship game against Mexico.

The dismissal comes nearly a year after Bradley was given a contract extension to continue coaching the team through 2014, the year of the next World Cup in Brazil.

But even as Bradley was given a new deal, there were concerns that the team had hit its ceiling.

Patriots trade for Ochocinco, HaynesworthBy Howard FendrichAP pro football writer

There goes Albert Hayne-sworth, heading from Mike Shanahan’s Redskins to Bill Belichick’s Patriots — where he’ll be joined by New Eng-land’s other big pickup Thurs-day: Chad Ochocinco.

Reggie Bush? The Saints sent him to the Dolphins. And the Kevin Kolb saga ended the way pretty much everyone expected, with a trade from the Eagles to the Cardinals.

NFL clubs made a move a minute Thursday — and those big-name deals were only the beginning.

Day 3 of the compressed, post-lockout offseason also included more contract agree-ments and plenty of cuts, which teams were finally allowed to start announcing at 4:01 p.m. ET. Among the players getting released were Vince Young by the Titans, Nate Clements by the 49ers, and Jake Delhomme by the Browns.

In the first dramatic example of how the new labor deal’s rookie salary system will affect elite players, No. 2 over-all draft pick Von Miller got $21 million guaranteed over

four years from the Denver Broncos. The No. 2 pick in 2010, Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh,

signed a five-year deal worth $40 million guaranteed and as much as $68 million overall.

Broncos football chief John

Elway tweeted, “We have agreed to terms with our 1st round pick, LB Von Miller. Can’t wait to get him on the field.”

The man widely regarded as the best available player in free agency, Nnamdi Aso-mugha, didn’t pick a team yet. But another top cornerback, Johnathan Joseph, agreed to terms with the Houston Texans, according to a person with knowledge of the deal, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonym-ity because the signing hadn’t been announced.

Belichick has had success reining in outspoken, do-it-my-way players such as receiver Randy Moss, and now New England’s coach gets two more guys who fit that description in defensive tackle Haynesworth and receiver Ochocinco.

All the Patriots gave up for Haynesworth was a 2013 fifth-round pick. By shipping the defensive tackle to New Eng-land, the Redskins rid them-selves of a two-year distrac-tion and fiasco of a free-agent signing — Haynesworth was guaranteed a then-record $41 million in the seven-year, $100 million contract he got in the early hours of free agency in 2009.

the same kind of camara-derie that Vicksburg has to the other side at Warren Central.”

Cable is engaged to Rob-inson’s daughter, Dedra, a teacher at Vicksburg High School. Robinson has been the Vicksburg High basket-ball coach for 19 years and last March took the Gators to the Class 6A boys state championship game. Rob-inson said he was elated his future son-in-law will get to be a head coach at the 6A level.

“It’s a great opportunity for him,” Robinson said. “I know it was a tough decision, given

we will find ourselves on opposite sides. He’s had a lot of success coaching at Bran-don and he played for coach Richard Duesse at Madison Ridgeland Academy, so he’s gotten to work with some great basketball minds.”

Besides Cable’s hiring, the Board of Trustees also approved the hiring of a new volleyball coach for Vicks-burg High. Charity Gomez was named to build the new program at VHS.

“She’s had experience building volleyball teams from scratch and that’s what we need,” Swinford said.

Vicksburg.”There is still plenty of good

competition available to vie for the trophy. Kent Smith expects a field of about 70 to 80 golfers to tee off Satur-day morning. Play will begin from the white tees, making the Clear Creek course set up at 6,234 yards. Play will resume Sunday from the blue tees for the top flights, which adds another 323 yards in length. With the recent rain hitting Bovina this week, look for the course

to play long.“We’ve actually got a little

rough growing right now,” Smith said.

As for contenders, look for former champ Mike Hurley to make a run. Hurley won the Clear Creek club champi-onship last month.

“Mike is always the man to beat on this course,” Smith said. “I also like Chris Whit-tington and the three young kids, (Nick) Mekus, (Parker) Rutherford and (Chris) Ingram.”

kickoff returns and two scores on punt returns. In each of his seasons except 2006, when he was injured, he has surpassed 1,000 yards on kick returns.

The move reunited Spro-les with Brees, who was San Diego’s quarterback when Sproles was a Chargers rookie in 2005.

Before the agreement was complete, Saints coach Sean Payton acknowledged Spro-les might be a good fit follow-ing Bush’s trade to Miami on Thursday morning.

Payton said the club also agreed to terms with start-ing linebacker Scott Shanle,

reserve linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar, reserve cornerback Leigh Torrence and reserve safety Chris Reis, who also has been a special teams leader. In addition, the Saints signed three of their six draft picks: cornerback Johnny Patrick, defensive end Greg Romeus and linebacker Nate Bussey. The draft picks still unsigned Thursday eve-ning were linebacker Martez Wilson and the Saints’ two first-round picks, defensive end Cam Jordan and running back Mark Ingram.

Otherwise, Payton said everyone who was supposed to report did.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco warms up before a game against the New York Jets at Giants Sta-dium on Jan. 3.

Teen feels entitled to parent-free tripDear Abby: I’m a 16-year-old

girl. I have good grades, par-ticipate in sports and activi-ties, and I’m involved in my church. My parents have always trusted me and given me freedom because they know I can handle it.

I want to attend a concert in a bigger town with a friend. However, my parents insist I must have an adult with me. I feel I’m responsible enough to go to the concert without one. How can I convince my parents? (A parent would be driving us to and from the concert.) — Can Handle It in Oregon

Dear Can Handle It: Your parents want to be sure you are safe. Although they trust you to act responsibly, they might not be so confident about other fans in the audi-ence. When large numbers of people gather for sports events and concerts, there is always the chance that a few troublemakers may cause a commotion or even a stam-pede. That’s why the perform-ers usually have heavy secu-rity around them. Please don’t take your parents’ stance on this personally. They are

trying to protect you.Dear Abby: My husband

and I are hosting our daugh-ter’s wedding and reception. We had to limit the number of guests due to space and budgetary considerations. Some of the RSVPs have come back with a larger number of people accepting than were listed on the invitation enve-lope as being invited.

How should we handle this? We expect others may do the same, and we cannot accom-modate extra guests. It’s a touchy situation because my daughter and her fiance interact with these folks at the church where she works. She feels bad enough that we had to limit the number of guests — and now this situa-tion. — Feeling Awkward in Michigan

Dear Feeling Awkward: If this is strictly a matter of

money and what you can afford, sit down with your daughter and her fiance, explain the situation and ask if they would like to pay for the “uninvited” guests. If they say yes — fine. If they say no, call the people who indicated they plan to bring extra guests and tell them that because of space and budgetary consid-erations, you are unable to accommodate them. Please don’t feel embarrassed to do so, because the people who should feel embarrassed are the ones who committed this breach of etiquette.

Dear Abby: If I tell my wife I’m going to clean the bathroom today, but I don’t manage to get it done because I was busy with other things, is that considered breaking a promise even though I didn’t use the word “promise”? My wife says that if you say you’re going to do something, then that is a promise. Is she right? — A Matter of Semantics

Dear Semantics: Not exactly. If you tell your wife you are going to clean the bathroom today and don’t get around to it, that is frustrating, aggra-vating and irresponsible. But

if she responds to your state-ment, “Is that a promise?” and you say yes — THAT’S a promise.

Dear Abby: I’m a grown-up Southern girl who has had “honesty is the best policy” pounded into my head ever since I can remember. My family had a falling out when I spoke my mind about some family members because I was tired of them saying things behind other people’s backs. I felt the truth should be expressed, but now I am to blame for the family issues when I was just being honest.

Where is the line in the sand where the honesty policy becomes brutal and unfeasi-ble? — Telling It Like It Is

Dear Telling It: The line is crossed when the truth is used like a sledgehammer and the words are spoken in anger or retaliation.

DEAR ABBY

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPEBY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION

TWEEN 12 & 20BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Fresh fruit, veggies

difference in Gott dietDear Dr. Gott: I started the

Atkins diet three weeks ago. So far I haven’t lost anything. I’m trying to decide whether to continue. Basically it is no flour, no sugar, very restricted vegetables and no fruit. I am 72 and take medication for blood pressure, osteoporosis and cholesterol.

Dear Reader: The Atkins diet is essentially a low-carbo-hydrate, high-protein method of weight loss. It was named after Dr. Robert Atkins, who allowed steak with bearnaise sauce, bacon, eggs, Roquefort dressing and cheddar cheese in his plan. The diet was based on the theory that obese indi-viduals consume too many carbohydrates. Since our bodies burn fat and carbs as an energy source, carbs are used first. By reducing carbo-hydrates and consuming more fat and protein, our bodies will naturally lose weight by burn-ing stored fat.

Atkins, an overweight car-diologist, first developed his diet theory in the early 1970s. His first book, “Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution,” stated that he fol-lowed his diet plan himself. At age 72, he slipped on ice while walking to work, hitting his head. This caused bleed-ing around the brain. Contro-versial reports from his medi-cal records instead indicate a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension — records his wife denies as falsehoods.

In any event, you should have seen the loss of a few pounds by now.

As I am sure you already know, I, too, have embraced a “no-flour, no-sugar diet” regi-men for many years. The dif-ference between my plan and that of Atkins is that I endorse fresh fruits and vegetables, poultry, fish, one egg a week, and lean cuts of meat.

Many people are overweight. We have access to fast-food chains and have a hundred reasons in any given day why it is easier to eat out than prepare healthful meals at home.

While my books have many recipes for delicious meals, you can take steps on your own and expect a gradual weight loss of about 1 to 2 pounds a week.

Snack on fresh vegetables from the refrigerator that are immediately available when you feel an urge to eat. Raw carrots, broccoli, peppers and other vegetables can be stored in resealable bags or contain-ers. Trim the fat from your meats prior to broiling them. Make pasta and other starches an occasional treat, not a daily staple. Avoid the deli case at your local market.

Think of your diet as a pos-itive commitment to better-ing yourself. Learn to make healthier food choices when shopping. Couple this with an exercise program. This doesn’t

mean you have to work out at a gym with people who don’t look as if they have to lose a single pound. Just take a walk around the block, ride a sta-tionary bike while watching the news or your favorite TV show, or take the stairs instead of the elevator when you have a chance. Your body will thank you for it.

DR. PETERGOTT

ASKTHEDOCTOR

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 12-year-old girl, and I desperately need your help. My father used to smoke cigarettes, but he quit because of the hazard to the family with secondhand smoke. That was great, but soon after he quit smoking he took up the habit of chew-ing tobacco. I have seen pictures of the things tobacco can do to those who chew. The pictures are terrible. Sometimes the victims have had their lower jaw and parts of their throats removed.

I am so worried that something like that might happen to my father. I have asked him to quit chewing tobacco, but he just says, “Oh, be quiet.” I am not trying to tell my dad how to live his life, but I just want him to stay healthy. I know it’s really hard to stay away from nicotine when you’re addicted to it, but I know it can be done.

Please print my letter because I think that when my dad reads it, he will be encouraged to quit chewing tobacco because his family loves him and wants him to live a long and happy life. — Nameless, Frederick, Md.

Nameless: You’ve done your part, and I’ve done mine. Now it’s Dad’s turn to do his. He is a lucky man to have such a loving, car-ing family.

You will quit using chewing tobacco, won’t you, Dad? Thank you.

Dr. Wallace: Our summer school English teacher said that American students attend school less than most students in oth-er industrial countries, but she didn’t know how many days less. Do you know? Most American students have 180 days of school per year. — A Student, Garden Grove, Calif.

Student: Ireland, Canada and France have 185 days of school per year, while Great Britain requires students to be in class 192 days. Germany and Japan have the longest school years. Germa-ny has 240 and Japan 243 days of school per year.

The number of required days of school per year in the United States has been slowly on the increase — about one day every two years. Many American educators feel that 200 days of pro-ductive education per year is ideal.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Sometimes you’re better at doing things for others than you are at doing things for yourself, and it could be one of those times. These noble instincts reflect the real you. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Because your powers of observa-tions are extremely keen right now, many things that are ap-parent to you could be completely overlooked by others. Don’t fault them for not seeing what you see.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although it will take asserting your-self a bit more than usual, the possibilities for adding to your material holdings are exceptionally good. Take advantage of this propitious day.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It behooves you to pay attention to your appearance and demeanor, because for whatever rea-son, you will not go unnoticed. Make a lasting impression.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Function as the power behind the scenes. It will be far easier to accomplish what you want by letting others think your success came from them.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your friends might be leaning on you, so be prepared to assume some of their burdens. They won’t put anything on you that you can’t handle.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t be overly concerned about suddenly finding yourself in a competitive development. Challenges awaken your senses, and you’ll easily win with grace.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Instead of instinctively falling back on a negative behavior pattern that has always led you down a dead-end street, take the time to profit from your past experiences. You’ll know what to do.Aries (March 21-April 19) — This is a good day to go shopping, because you tend to be extremely keen about anything that has to do with handling money. You’re likely to get some better bargains for your shekels.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If your ears are ringing, it’s be-cause someone is telling others nice things about you. This per-son’s comments could have a strong impact on your popularity.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Get an early start, because chanc-es are you’ll be asked to tackle something different. However, you’re better equipped to handle it than you think.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — People in general are likely to find you far more appealing than they do a friend of yours who is always subconsciously competing against you.

n DEATHRichard Chavez — The man who helped brother Cesar Chavez build the United Farmworkers of America has died at 81 from complications from surgery, union spokeswoman Maria Machu-ca said. He died Wednesday at a Bakersfield, Calif., hospital. Born on the family homestead near Yuma, Ariz., the two brothers left farm work in 1949, spending a year working together in lumber mills in Northern California, Machuca said. Eventually dedicat-ing himself to union work, Richard Chavez organized the farm-workers’ boycotts of California table grapes and other products in New York and Detroit during the 1960s and ‘70s.

Bridge won’t bear name of nirvana leader The Aberdeen, Wash., City Council has vot-ed down a resolution to rename a bridge af-ter the late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain.

Eight citizens and several council members spoke against renaming the bridge, which is unofficially named after pioneer Alexander Young.

The vote against the Cobain rename drew ap-plause from the audience at the council meet-

ing. Some people were concerned about me-morializing the grunge rock musician because of his drug use, suicide and negative comments about his hometown.

’Jeopardy!’ host injured chasing burglar“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek is scheduled for surgery today af-

He was on crutches later Wednesday.San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield said hotel security

Mustafa has been lead spokes-man for the Procter & Gamble Co. brand of men’s body wash-es and deodorants for nearly two years, starring in a popular series of marketing campaigns relying heavily on YouTube, Twitter and other social media. This time, Mustafa held off an effort by the Italian model to be-come “the new Old Spice Guy.”

In a series of videos culminating Thursday, the muscular pitch-men dueled, responding to challenges from one another or viewers. They held staring and whistling contests, bantered and offered advice on workouts and writing love letters.

P&G said Mustafa won based on consumer feedback such as “likes” and online comments.

Rosa Parks’ essayreveals rape attempt

NEW YORK (AP) — Long before Rosa Parks was hailed as the “mother of the civil rights movement,” she wrote a detailed and harrow-ing account of nearly being raped by a white neighbor who employed her as a house-keeper in 1931.

The six-page essay, written in her own hand years after the incident, is among thousands of her personal items cur-rently residing in the Manhat-tan warehouse and cramped offices of Guernsey’s Auction-eers, which has been selected by a Michigan court to find an institution to buy and preserve the complete archive.

Civil rights historian Dan-ielle McGuire said she had never before heard of the attempted rape of Parks and called the find among Parks’ papers astounding.

It helps explain what trig-gered Parks’ lifelong cam-paign against the ritualistic rape of black women by white men, said McGuire, whose recent book “At the Dark End of the Street” examines how economic intimidation and sexual violence were used to derail the freedom movement and how it went unpunished during the Jim Crow era.

Of her own experience, Parks wrote, “He offered me a drink of whiskey, which I promptly and vehemently refused. He moved nearer to me and put his hand on my waist. I was very frightened by now.”

“He liked me. ... he didn’t want me to be lonely and would I be sweet to him. He had money to give me for accepting his attentions,” she wrote. “I was ready to die but give my con-sent never. Never, never.”

Most people know the story of Parks, a black, middle-aged seamstress who refused to give up her seat to a white pas-senger on a bus in Montgom-

ery, Ala., in 1955. Guernsey’s President Arlan Ettinger said her personal papers reveal a complex person who spent a lifetime fighting for racial equality and against the sexual violence of black women.

Parks is credited with inspir-ing the civil rights movement with her solitary act of defi-ance on Dec. 1, 1955, that led to the Supreme Court outlaw-ing segregation on buses. She received the nation’s two high-est honors in her lifetime, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor.

She died in 2005 at age 92, leaving the trove of personal correspondence, papers relat-ing to her work for the Mont-gomery branch of the NAACP, tributes from presidents and world leaders, family Bibles, clothing, furniture and more — about 8,000 items in all.

Proceeds from the sale will go to resolve a dispute over her estate, divided between her relatives and the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development that she cre-ated in 1987.

Bikini-clad shopper toldto cover up or leave Walmart

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon woman said she was told to put a shirt over her bikini top while shopping at Walmart or leave the store.

Sandy McMillin said she was shopping at a Eugene Wal-mart with her sister last week-end when a store employee confronted her and claimed she might be violating health regulations.

An attorney for the 51-year-old McMillin said the experi-ence was embarrassing but

he is more concerned about the way McMillin was treated because she is disabled from injuries suffered in motorcy-cle crashes.

A spokesman for the Arkan-sas-based retail giant said the employee was respond-ing to customer complaints and McMillin was not asked to leave the store.

McMillin said she’ll probably still shop at Walmart — but at a different store.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom presented to Rosa Parks by President Bill Clin-ton, is among items up for auction.
