dupree facing uphill battleBy Emily Wagster PettusThe Associated Press

JACKSON — After making history this week as the first black candidate to win a major-party nomination for Mississippi governor, Demo-crat Johnny DuPree now faces the tough reality of trying to win a general elec-tion against a better-known, better-funded GOP candi-date in a strongly Republican

state.DuPree, the mayor of Mis-

sissippi’s third-largest city,

Hattiesburg, said he’s not daunted because he has usu-ally been outspent in cam-paigns. He said he plans to continue running a race-neu-tral campaign focused on jobs and education.

“We’re in the race to try to make a difference for the citizens of Mississippi,” the 57-year-old DuPree said after winning the Democratic pri-

Local results expectedto be certified this weekBy Danny Barrett [email protected]

Results from Tues-day’s primary runoffs are expected to be certified by local party officials this week.

Democratic and Repub-lican executive committee members gathered signa-tures Wednesday on official

recap sheets for the Circuit Clerk’s Office to send to the Secretary of State’s Office, which has set a Sept. 2 deadline to receive all such information from county-level party committees statewide.

Runoffs for chancery clerk and county supervisor in

By The Associated Press

PASCAGOULA — A Mississippi judge has ruled that R.J. Reynolds short-changed the state of Mississippi millions of dollars when it failed to report prof-its from the sale of 7.8 billion cigarettes made for Star Tobacco.

Chancery Judge Jaye Bradley on Wednesday awarded the state $3.8 mil-lion for the underpayments, plus $4.3 million in interest, for a total of $8.1 million.

The state argued that from 1999 to 2002 R.J. Reynolds excluded 7.8 billion ciga-rettes from a 1997 lawsuit settlement that were manufactured by its subsid-iary Brown and Williamson for Star Tobacco & Pharmaceuticals, an indepen-dent tobacco company.

The cigarettes were then packaged and sold to U.S. customers by Star Tobacco.

“There is no dispute as to whether the Star cigarettes were manufactured by Brown and Williamson or that the ciga-rettes were for domestic consumption,”

15-year Main Street board boss resignsBy John [email protected]

Harry Sharp, chairman of the Vicksburg Main Street Board of Directors for 15 years, has resigned as board chairman and will leave the board when his term ends next year.

Sharp, 64, announced his decision in a letter to the

board on Tuesday, citing ongoing health problems and pressing business matters as reasons for stepping down. He did not attend the Tues-day meeting.

The board elected co-chair-man Ronnie Bounds as chair-man to succeed Sharp, and named Kristen Meehan as co-chairman.

“I hated to do it, but it was

time,” Sharp said of his deci-sion, “I really need to devote more time to my businesses.”

Sharp’s letter commended the board for keeping the city’s Main Street district viable and making the Vicks-burg Main Street program, “one of the most successful Main Street programs in the

Ridership climbson NRoute busesBy John [email protected]

Ridership on NRoute buses increased this month but, because more riders are buying monthly passes, fares were down from the previous month, according to statistics released by the public trans-portation service Wednesday.

NRoute executive director Evelyn Bumpers distributed the figures at Wednesday’s meeting of the NRoute Transportation Commission. The num-bers show that from July 28 through Wednesday, 3,021 people rode NRoute’s buses, up 433 from the period of June 23 to July 27.

August fares, however, were $373 less than July’s total of $2,843. The reason for the difference, Bumpers said, was because many riders were buying 30-day

pure ‘ice’ meth found on highwayBy Pamela [email protected]

Nearly 3 1/2 pounds of “ice” — an almost pure form of crystal methamphetamine — was seized by Warren County deputies Wednesday following the early-morning traffic stop of a vehicle in which two men, two women, a toddler and an infant were riding, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

The cache, with a street value estimated at between $225,000 and $400,000, was being smuggled in the tailgate of a 1990 Nissan pickup being towed by a 2003 Chevrolet Blazer, Pace said.

The two men, driver Gerardo Garcia Mendoza, 24, and Ricardo Garcia Mendoza, 23, identified by investigators as brothers, are both in the country illegally from Mexico, the sheriff said.

“The majority of what we refer

to as ‘ice,’ pure-grade metham-phetamine, that we encounter in this area, comes from Mexico,” Pace said.

The relationship between the

women and children and the Mendozas is unclear and part of the investigation. The women,

County’s farmers, ranchers in line for disaster loansWarren County farmers,

ranchers and operators may receive flood-related disas-ter loans as a result of the county’s proximity to areas declared a disaster in Louisi-ana, a release from the Farm Service Agency said.

Local governments in 15 of the state’s parishes were declared disaster areas Aug. 18 by President Barack Obama for Mississippi River flooding from April 25 to July

7.The same order made

Warren County eligible for federal disaster help under the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act because it’s contiguous to the primary natural disaster area. East Carroll, Madison and Tensas parishes were

included in the declaration.Qualifying farmers may

borrow up to 100 percent of actual production losses or the amount needed to bring farms back to pre-flood con-dition, whichever is less. The new loan plus any outstand-ing balances on previous emergency loans owed by an applicant or member of a farming entity cannot exceed $500,000.

Vicksburg man jailed after wife strangledA Vicksburg man was

arrested by police Wednes-day on a charge of aggra-vated domestic violence, Sgt. Sandra Williams said.

Police responded to River Region Medical Center at 10 a.m. when a woman seeking treatment reported she had been strangled by her hus-band after they argued, Wil-liams said.

After an investigation, police arrested Johnathan Anglin, 27, 5210 U.S. 61 South, she said.

Anglin was taken to the Issaquena County Jail, where he was held pending

the posting of a $35,000 bond, said Williams.

The victim was treated and released, she said.

mary runoff Tuesday night. “Our first priority is not the (campaign) finances.”

An expert on black political participation said Wednes-day that DuPree has little chance of defeating the Republican nominee, Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, in the Nov. 8 gen-eral election.

“My guess is if the odds-makers were putting odds on this, it would probably be something like 100-to-1,” said David Bositis, senior politi-cal analyst for the Washing-ton-based Joint Center for Political and Economic Stud-ies. “Mississippi isn’t ready to elect a black candidate to major statewide office.”

Bositis, who has spent more than two decades research-ing voting trends, said Mis-sissippi is one of several Deep South states that has developed re-segregated electoral patterns, “with the Republican Party being the white people’s party and pretty much just African-Americans being the Demo-cratic Party.”

Mississippi’s current gov-ernor, Republican Haley Bar-bour, is limited to two terms and couldn’t seek re-election this year.

Republicans have held the Mississippi Governor’s Man-sion four of the past five terms.

East Coasttests bridges,battens downfor Irene

BUXTON, N.C. (AP) — All along the East Coast, officials are calculating what they need to do if Irene becomes the first major hurricane to strike the East Coast in seven years. A hurricane watch was issued today for much of the North Carolina coast.

From North Carolina islands connected to the mainland by just a handful of bridges to the waterlogged shores of New England, officials were scram-bling to inspect bridges, send-ing naval ships away, dusting off evacuation plans and get-ting sandbags ready for poten-tial floods. And considering where and when to move people out of harm’s way.

“You have to recognize that you’re living here on an island, and island living represents certain risks,” said Edward Mangano, county executive in

Long Island’s Nassau County, where school buses were being moved to higher ground in case they’re needed to evac-uate residents to storm shel-ters. “And those risks appear now, at least, to be tracking toward us.”

Irene could hit North Caro-lina’s Outer Banks Saturday

afternoon with winds around 115 mph. It’s predicted to chug up the East Coast, dumping rain from Virginia to New York City before a much-weakened form reaches land in Connecticut. Finally, it should peter out in Maine by Monday afternoon.

A hurricane watch was

issued early today for much of the North Carolina coast including the Outer Banks. A hurricane watch means hur-ricane conditions are possible within 48 hours. Also, a tropi-cal storm watch was issued for much of South Carolina’s coast.

Quake shows difficultyof evacuation from D.C.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s capital has pre-pared for emergencies with sleek communication systems, intelligence fusion centers and chemical detention centers at train stations.

What showed during the 5.8-magnitude quake that shook much of the East Coast Tuesday was that evacuating during an emergency could tax the city’s resources.

Traffic was snarled for miles in downtown Washington as employers released workers early at the same time thou-sands of commuters tried to drive home or cram onto buses and trains already overloaded and slowed by speed restric-tions because of the quake.

“Not that yesterday was chaos, but definitely, it was not as smooth as it could have been,” said Justin Thorp, 27, a marketing manager who works downtown and who escaped the congestion with

a bicycle he found through a bike-sharing program.

A strong evacuation plan is seen as especially critical for Washington, the seat of federal government and a city perpet-ually on guard against ter-rorist attacks. The president and vice president and their families enjoy Secret Service protection, and Congress has security procedures to evacu-ate its members. Others would have to rely on the city.

Also, the earthquake has produced at least five aftershocks.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the aftershocks around the central Virginia epicen-ter had ranged in magnitude from 4.2 to as little as 2.2 since the strongest earthquake to strike the East Coast since World War II.

Another hit early today with a magnitude 4.5 and 3.1 miles deep.

South, West lead in marriages,divorces, Census Bureau finds

WASHINGTON — Singles, take note: With marriages at an all-time low, states in the South and West rank among the highest for couples hear-ing wedding bells. But many of these states also have higher rates of divorce.

The first-of-its-kind analy-sis by the Census Bureau, released today, also finds that people are waiting longer before marrying for the first time. In particular, the percentage of women who wed as teenagers has dropped precipitously since 1970, while many men are postponing marriage past their college-age years.

In all, there were 19.1 wed-dings performed per 1,000 men and 17.6 per 1,000 women across the U.S. in 2009, while divorces became final for 9.2 of every 1,000 men and 9.7 of every 1,000 women.

By region, the South and West had the most mar-riages, with rates of roughly 19 per 1,000. But they also led in divorces, each at about 10 per 1,000.

Mississippi justiceshonored with portraits

JACKSON, Miss. — Portraits of four former

Supreme Court justices are to be unveiled Sept. 1 at the Carroll Gartin Justice Build-ing in Jackson.

The portraits are of former chief Justice Lenore L. Prather of Columbus, former Presiding Justice Fred L. Banks Jr. of Jack-son, former Justice Reuben V. Anderson of Jackson, and the late former Justice Wil-liam Campbell McLean of Grenada.

Prather, Banks and Ander-son are expected to attend the ceremony.

Regents rewritinghigher ed master plan

BATON ROUGE — The state’s Board of Regents is rewriting the master plan for Louisiana’s public colleges, which will update long-term goals for the campuses and set a framework for each col-lege’s mission.

The move to adjust the master plan adopted in 2001 comes as state higher educa-tion financing has been cut in recent years, schools have eliminated programs and state leaders have pressed colleges to redefine their

roles.Lawmakers asked for an

updated master plan from the Regents by Sept. 1. The board unanimously agreed to the plan Wednesday.

It includes 65 perfor-mance measures for judging schools, along with a push to raise the number of state res-idents graduating from high school and college to the same levels as other South-ern states by 2025.

Whistleblower suitin La. dismissed

BATON ROUGE — A fed-eral judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit by the state of Louisiana accusing two self-described whistle-blowers of illegally copying and circulating documents containing confidential infor-mation about homeown-ers applying to a Hurricane Katrina grant program.

U.S. District Judge James Brady ruled he doesn’t have jurisdiction over the state’s case against Christy Weiser and Thomas Pierson, who were hired by The Shaw Group Inc. to work on the state’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program after Katrina and Hurricane Rita struck in 2005.

STARKVILLE — Mississippi voters are expected to easily approve a voter ID initiative on the 2011 general election ballot. Voter ID requirements are long overdue in Mississippi and have reached the ballot over the most specious and manufactured objections.

But as the state’s chief elec-tion officer confirmed this week, voter ID gets the most head-lines while absentee ballot fraud actually has the potential to do the most harm in Mississippi elections.

Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann has sounded a valid alarm in Mississippi politics. Hosemann has confirmed that absentee ballots as a percentage of total votes cast has tripled in the last three elections in Mis-sissippi from 2 percent to 6 per-cent. More troubling, in 20 of the state’s 82 counties, absentee bal-lots made up 10 percent or more of total votes cast.

Quitman County — where 29

percent or 1,040 of 3,580 votes were cast with absentee ballots — set the pace. In 19 other coun-ties, absentee ballots accounted for between 10 percent to 18 per-cent of each county’s total vote: Claiborne, Grenada, Issaquena, Noxubee, Greene, Sharkey, Hum-phreys, Carroll, Clay, Holmes, Leflore, Tallahatchie, Benton, Jef-ferson, Alcorn, Franklin, Mont-gomery, Walthall and Winston.

Note that Benton and Noxu-bee counties are in that number. State convictions against Benton County officials have proved that voter ID is indeed needed and that opposition to it is far

more partisan posturing than the statement of any real grievances.

Three years ago, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans agreed with U.S. Dis-trict Judge Tom S. Lee of Forest that Noxubee County Democratic Party Chairman Ike Brown sys-tematically violated white voters’ rights.

The landmark case marks the first time in history that the fed-eral government has used the 1965 Voting Rights Act to protect the rights of white voters.

Lee in 2007 ruled in favor of the U.S. Justice Department offi-cials who claimed that Brown

disenfranchised white voters in Noxubee County in violation of the Voting Rights Act. Brown appealed the ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and a three-judge panel later affirmed Lee’s ruling.

The feds proved that Brown and his loyalists rigged the voting process against white voters by manipulating voter rolls, making threats to ban some whites from voting and miscounting ballots to ensure white candidates lost, and committing other discriminatory acts.

In 2009, after the 5th Circuit upheld Lee’s decision in the Ike Brown case, Brown told The Associated Press that he denied trying to limit anyone’s rights. Brown told the AP he was proud of his efforts to get more blacks to vote, whether by absentee ballot or getting them to the polls.

“Did Judge Lee rule I kept any-body from voting? No,” Brown said. “Did Judge Lee rule that I

kept anybody from running? No. Judge Lee said because there were so many blacks voting absentee, it must be fraudulent. How do you defend against that? Nobody has brought charges of absentee voting fraud in Noxu-bee County.”

Hosemann’s probe of the seem-ingly excessive absentee bal-lots in 20 counties across the state could change that reality in Noxubee County — where 15 percent of the total vote came from absentee ballots in the 2011 primaries. That, of course, was down from over 20 percent in prior elections.

The Legislature should take Hosemann’s research as a signal to begin a serious debate of absentee ballot reform. The state has winked and nudged at the obvious abuses of the process for far too long.

Absentee ballot fraud more a threat than voter ID

SidSaLTER

Secretary of State Del-bert Hosemann has

sounded a valid alarm in Mississippi politics.

GOPThe Republican presidential

race is tightening. The recent Iowa straw poll didn’t pick any delegates — that will be done at the Iowa Caucuses on Feb. 6 — but the poll began culling the herd of GOP candidates.

Finishing first with 4,823 votes was Rep. Michele Bachmann, who was born in the Hawkeye State and was elected to Con-gress from neighboring Min-nesota. Her feisty campaign attracted Tea Party support. Commendably, she opposed the recent budget deal that increased the federal debt limit to $17 tril-lion without significant spending reforms.

Just 152 votes behind her ran Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, whose libertarian stances increasingly have been adopted by the Tea Party and Republicans in gen-eral. He also was the only major candidate to advocate ending the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghani-stan. For years, he has pointed out that the wars, in addition to killing more than 4,000 U.S. troops, are a major drain on

the U.S. Treasury; and that any deficit and debt reduction must include major defense cuts.

A third-place finish, with 2,293 votes, led Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty to drop out.

Spoiling the fun was Gov. Rick Perry of Texas. He didn’t run in the Iowa poll but announced his candidacy the day it was held, garnering national attention. A conservative on many issues, he’s running on the Lone Star State’s stellar economic performance, in which it has created 40 per-cent of new U.S. jobs in recent years. Critics point out that he supported Democrat Al Gore for president in 1988.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who won the pre-vious straw poll in 2007, didn’t participate this time. He finished second in the Iowa Caucuses in 2008. Mr. Romney has built strong teams in Iowa and New Hamp-shire, the location of the first primary. He’s running a smooth campaign. But he still backs his medical reform in Massachu-setts, including coverage man-

dates, which was a partial model for the Obamacare program most Republicans would like to repeal.

“It’s now a four-way race” with Romney and Perry leading, Jack Pitney told us; he’s a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College. The straw poll “isn’t a random sample of votes, so it doesn’t necessarily predict the outcome of the Iowa Caucuses in about six months. Bachmann and Paul both have an organization and will be around for a while. The path to the nomination for them is steep, but at least as far as Iowa goes, any number of out-comes is possible.”

Unannounced possible candi-dates include Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice-presidential nominee, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Chris-tie, popular for his sharp budget cuts. And still running are the also-rans from Iowa: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Sen. Rick Santorum, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and businessman Herman Cain.

Let the campaign rumble continue.

Race for 2012 taking shape

Q: When do you think we should purchase a home? My wife and I have been married a year, and we have been living in an apartment for the past year. The thought of paying someone else doesn’t sit well.

Our rent is $1,000 a month. We both have decent incomes b u t n o t much in savings. D o y o u think right now is the best time to

buy? — T.P., via e-mailA: This decision will have

to be between you and your bride. Purchasing a home is a major investment. It’s not something you should take

lightly. You guys need to sit down and weigh your options. Owning a home is also a matter of lifestyle, not just a finan-cial decision. You have to ask yourselves: Are you ready to take on the responsibilities of paying for a plumber when a pipe bursts, mowing the lawn, etc.? In other words, you won’t have property management to take care of these things for you. You didn’t mention what your credit looks like, but I am assuming it’s good. In today’s market, there are some great deals for people who have good credit. Make a list of pros and cons. This should help you make the best decision.

Foreclosure sales drop sharply in MississippiThe number of Missis-

sippi homes being sold in some stage of foreclosure has dropped sharply over the past year.

Irvine, Calif.-based Real-tyTrac said 99 foreclosed homes were sold in the state in the April-through-June period at an average price of $145,331. That represented a 20.7 percent discount from homes that were not in fore-closure and 9.5 percent of all second-quarter home sales in Mississippi.

RealtyTrac said the number of foreclosed homes sold in the second quarter in Mississippi rose 4.2 percent from the first quarter of 2011, but fell nearly 42 percent from the second quarter of 2010.

Nationally, the second quar-ter saw 265,087 foreclosure sales at an average price of $164,217. That represented a 32 percent discount and accounted for 31 percent of all U.S. home sales.

In some regards, the ava-lanche of housing foreclosure has bypassed Mississippi: the state’s total of 99 second-quarter foreclosure sales was the lowest except for Maine, which had 91.

In Louisiana, sales of homes in some stage of fore-

closure went for about a third less than homes not in trouble.

RealtyTrac said 930 fore-closed homes were sold in the state in the April-through-June period at an average price of $121,506. That represented a 34.1 per-cent discount from homes that were not in foreclosure and 14.8 percent of all sec-ond-quarter home sales in Louisiana.

The number of foreclosed home sales rose 13.6 percent from the first quarter of 2011 in Louisiana, but fell 3.9 per-cent from the second quarter of 2010.

Mortgage applicationsfall to 15-year low

WASHINGTON — Mort-gage applications to pur-chase a home fell last week to a 15-year low, despite the lowest mortgage rates in decades.

Many potential buyers are holding off because they are worried about job secu-rity and fear the economy could slip back into another recession.

The Mortgage Bankers

Association said Wednes-day that an index measuring mortgage applications, which are adjusted for seasonal fac-tors, fell 2.4 percent last week from the previous week. Home mortgage applica-tions plunged 5.7 percent to its lowest level since Decem-ber 1996.

Trustmark to openTupelo corporate office

JACKSON, Miss. — Trust-mark has announced plans to open a new corporate office in Tupelo. The Fair-

park Crossing office will consolidate Trustmark’s Tupelo main office opera-tions, retail and commer-cial banking, mortgage and wealth management, as well as insurance services offered through Fisher Brown Bot-trell, Trustmark’s insurance subsidiary.

Set to open by year-end, the 11,152 square foot office is at the intersection of Main Street and Commerce, in the Fairpark District, a 50-acre urban renewal development in the heart of downtown Tupelo.

Stocks fallafter Buffettdeal spursearly gains

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell in morning trading today, giving up early gains. Bank of America Corp. led other bank stocks higher on news that Warren Buffett is investing $5 billion in the bank.

BofA jumped 17 percent in early trading. The bank had lost half its value this year as investors grew worried about its need to raise capital and its liabilities related to sub-prime mortgages.

The news of Buffett’s invest-ment drove other bank stocks higher. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Inc. jumped more than 6 percent.

Most other stocks turned lower. Financial stocks were the only one of the 10 indus-try groups in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to rise.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 109 points, or 1 percent, to 11,211 in morn-ing trading. It had been up 85 points shortly after the open-ing bell.

Apple Inc. fell more than 1 percent after co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs resigned late Wednesday. Jobs’ departure was expected because of his health problems. Richard Gardner at Citigroup recom-mended investors buy the stock.

The S&P 500 index fell 10 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,167. The Nasdaq fell 25 points, or 1 percent, to 2,441.

The price of gold continues to fall, sinking $17 to $1,740 an ounce. Gold plunged $104 an ounce Wednesday.

Gold’s 5.6 percent drop on Wednesday was the steepest in more than three years.

Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO;firm must show it can still deliver

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — With Steve Jobs bowing out as CEO, Apple Inc. must per-suade investors and consum-ers that it doesn’t need the force behind the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad in charge to keep the technology hits coming.

Tim Cook, his hand-picked successor, has handled the top job repeatedly in the absence of the ailing Jobs, who resigned as chief exec-utive Wednesday and was elected chairman of Apple’s board. Though not nearly as recognizable as Jobs, Cook had been running Apple since January. The compa-ny’s stock has risen 62 per-cent during that time.

Jeff Gamet, managing editor of Apple-focused news

site The Mac Observer, said Jobs’ departure has more sentimental than practi-cal signifi-cance. He said he has

been tele-graphing the change for sev-eral years.

“All Apple really has done is made official what they’ve been doing administratively for a while now, which is Tim runs the show and Steve gets to do his part to make sure the products come out to meet the Apple standard,” he said.

But Trip Chowdhry, an analyst with Global Equities

Research, said Jobs’ mania-cal attention to detail is what has set Apple apart. He said Apple’s product pipeline might be secure for another few years, but he predicted that the company will eventu-ally struggle to come up with market-changing ideas.

“Apple is Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs is Apple, and Steve Jobs is innovation,” Chowdhry said. “You can teach people how to be operationally effi-cient, you can hire consul-tants to tell you how to do that, but God creates innova-tion. ... Apple without Steve Jobs is nothing.”

Jobs’ resignation appears to be the result of an unspecified medical condition for which he took a leave from his post in January.

Bradley wrote in Wednes-day’s decision.

“Therefore, the court finds that Star cigarettes should have been counted and used in the agreed formula.”

Mississippi sued cigarette- makers in the mid-1990s to try to recover public costs of tobacco-related illnesses. The two sides settled the massive lawsuit in 1997.

Attorney General Jim Hood

said the original tobacco settlement in 1997 requires companies to pay Mississippi for every cigarette they make and ship. Hood said Brown and Williamson made ciga-rettes but shipped them to a third party manufacturer, Star. Star tobacco then sold those cigarettes to consum-ers in Mississippi.

“The court agreed with our position that B&W could not

use such trickery to avoid paying Mississippi for those cigarettes,” Hood said in a statement Wednesday.

R.J. Reynolds’ attorneys had argued that Brown and Williamson made cigarettes for the independent tobacco manufacturer then packaged and sold the cigarettes in Mississippi.

Since income from man-ufacturing Star cigarettes

was excluded by Brown and Williamson in calculating the master tobacco settle-ment formula used to estab-lish how much each state receives, Bradley appointed a special master to make those determinations.

R.J. Reynolds, an indi-rect subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc., and Brown and Williamson, along with tobacco giants Philip Morris

and Lorillard Tobacco Co. were included in a 46-state master tobacco agreement in 1997 that was led by Mis-sissippi Attorney General Mike Moore. Mississippi had its own, separate settlement with cigarette-makers.

The states had argued the cigarettes produced by the tobacco industry contributed to health problems among the population.

country.“In addition, we are known

throughout the community as the most effective and cohesive board, for which you all are to be commended,” he wrote.

Bounds, a former longtime city planner for the City of Vicksburg, called Sharp a gentleman, adding, “That is well-reflected in the profes-sional manner in which he has conducted the business of the Vicksburg Main Street Program. Harry has real love for the heart of our city, and through his many contacts on the state and national level has brought very positive attention to what downtown has to offer.”

Vicksburg Main Street director Kim Hopkins said Sharp played a big role in the program.

“He has been a very active member of Main Street and very active and supportive of downtown,” she said.

She added Sharp’s contacts helped the board get such officials as Gov. Haley Bar-bour and Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann to speak at the program’s annual

meetings.“I’m happy he’ll still be on

the board,” Hopkins said.Sharp was first elected to

the Main Street board in 1987. He was elected again in 1996, and also was elected chairman.

“We’ve come a long way in the last 15 years,” Sharp said. “Downtown has again become a viable, solid part of the community. I’m hopeful some young people will get involved now and continue the work.”

Sharp came to Vicksburg in 1985, when he bought and restored The Duff Green Mansion, an antebellum home on First East Street. The home is now a bed and breakfast.

In September 2010, he acquired Green Acres Memo-rial Park, which has been renamed Greenlawn Gardens Cemetery. Sharp, who oper-ated a cemetery in Florida before coming to Vicksburg, had been appointed receiver of Green Acres in 2009 after the Secretary of State’s office took over the financially trou-bled cemetery.

Sharp said Wednesday that

getting Greenlawn back into shape has been his priority.

“It’s a big challenge, but I’m enjoying it,” he said.

In other action, the board:• Learned that Hit the

Bricks is Sept. 8.• Discussed the 17th Annual

Fall Festival and the Second Annual Bricks and Spokes.

Hopkins said the fall festi-val will feature a free concert on Friday, Sept. 30, featuring Four Guys and a Girl and The Mulemen. Bricks and Spokes, on Saturday, Oct. 1, will take bicycle riders into Warren County, and across the Mis-sissippi River into Louisiana using the U.S. 80 bridge.

• Learned the Blue Room Blues Trail marker ceremony is Sept. 21 at the gazebo on Clay Street across from the parking garage.

• Discussed the Lofts of Vicksburg tour on Nov. 12.

• Discussed Vicksburg’s Old-fashioned Christmas Open House from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Nov. 27.

• Discussed the Christmas Parade of Lights is set for 5 p.m. Dec. 3. The theme is “Disney Christmas.”

passes for bus service.“When you sell more

passes, you’re going to have less fares,” she said.

Compared with the pre-vious fiscal year, August’s numbers were 818 riders less than the same period in 2010. Fares totaled $2,470 which were $1,451, or 37 percent, lower than last August.

NRoute’s ridership had been down from the previ-ous year since the 2011 fiscal year began on Oct. 1, 2010. One reason for the lower numbers, Bumpers said, was the 2011 Mississippi River Flood, which affected the

Kings Community, one of NRoute’s busiest routes.

Kings residents were forced to leave their homes in early May as the Mississippi rose to record heights in Vicks-burg, cresting at 57.1 feet on May 19, 14.1 feet above flood stage and 1.3 foot above the Great Flood of 1927.

Some residents are just now beginning to return to the area.

Bumpers said NRoute is redesigning routes, adding they should be ready by the commission’s September meeting.

In other action, the

commission:• Learned from Bumpers

that money is available to purchase video cameras and vehicle locating devices for the buses.

She said the $22,598 for the cameras is available through federal transportation and multimodal funds adminis-tered through the Mississippi Department of Transporta-tion. The $10,370 for the locat-ing devices will be paid using stimulus funds.

• Learned the transporta-tion system’s fiscal 2010 audit will begin Sept. 6.

who both hold valid Georgia driver’s licenses, were ques-tioned by deputies and immi-gration officials but there is no indication they were involved in or aware of the drug trafficking, Pace added.

Immigration officials said there was no reason to detain the women and they were released with the Blazer late Wednesday evening, he added. “It’s not unusual for drug couriers to use women and children as cover to make their travel appear more like a family vacation,” Pace said. “In many cases they don’t know the true reason for their journey.”

The Blazer could have been seized by the sheriff’s office but more was owed on it than it was worth, and the county would have had to pay off the lien, he added.

The men were travel-ing with a statue of Santa Muerte, literally “Saint Death,” and both sport tat-toos of the figure venerated by many in Mexico and often used by drug traffickers who believe it offers protection for their activities, said Sgt. Jason Bailess. “It’s not a 100 percent given, but it’s a very strong indication of illegal activity,” Bailess said.

Deputy Brandon Jones made the traffic stop at about 4:30 a.m. on Interstate 20 near the Utica-Missis-sippi 27 exit when he noticed the pickup, on a car trailer, swerving side-to-side in traf-fic, Pace said.

The Blazer displayed a paper tag, not a perma-nent license plate. When approached, neither the driver nor the passenger had a driver’s license or any acceptable form of identifica-tion, he added.

“The deputy was suspicious of their activities, and asked for and received permission to search the vehicles,” said

the sheriff. Inspecting a pro-truding area of the pickup’s tailgate, the deputy found a package of crystal meth and took the vehicles, the driver and the passengers into cus-tody, he said.

Additional ice — a total of 3.34 pounds —was dis-covered after investigators impounded the vehicles, received a warrant and made a thorough search including dismantling the tailgate.

“This kind of crystal meth usually sells for between $100 and $200 a gram, depend-ing on how and where it is sold,” Pace said. “The farther you get from the source, the more expensive the drugs are.”

There are 28 grams in one ounce, and nearly 454 grams in a pound, meaning about 1,500 grams of ice were seized.

Pace said there is no indi-cation the drugs were bound for Vicksburg and Warren County.

“This is a significant amount of a very dangerous drug,” Pace said.

Both Mendozas were in the Warren County Jail with-out bond this morning. They have been charged with pos-session of crystal meth with intent to distribute and also were being held for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, said the sheriff.

They could have an initial hearing as early as today, but Pace said even if a judge sets bond, they will not be able to bond out of jail because of the federal detainer.

Drug Enforcement Admin-istration agents also have been contacted, he said.

Libya rebels fight to capture loyalist-held citiesTRIPOLI, Libya (AP) —

Libyan rebels battled forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi in the east today and faced stub-born resistance in the capital as the opposition moved to assert control over the oil-rich coun-try even as the longtime dicta-tor remained at large.

The rebels have seized con-trol of much of Tripoli as Gad-hafi’s 42-year regime crumbled, but the autocrat has refused to surrender and vowed from hiding to fight on “until victory or martyrdom.”

The rebel leadership has offered a $2 million bounty on Gadhafi’s head, and British Defense Secretary Liam Fox said today that NATO was help-ing in the search for the maver-ick leader.

Fox said NATO was “provid-ing intelligence and recon-naissance assets to help in the hunt,” and had been heavily active in carrying out overnight airstrikes against Gadhafi loyal-ists, but refused to say if British special forces were involved.

Rebels said one of their key targets now is Gadhafi’s home-town of Sirte, about 250 miles from Tripoli, but acknowledged that capturing that city would not be easy because Gadhafi’s fellow tribesmen were expected to put up a fierce fight.Oppo-sition leaders have said they were trying to negotiate a peaceful surrender of the city.

Fawzi Abu Ketf, deputy defense minister of the rebel National Transitional Council, said another challenge was the need to supply troops at the front. “The supply lines will be

too long and we are short of funds and supplies,” he said.

Gadhafi loyalists also had ambushed rebels advancing toward the town of Bin Jawad, some 350 miles southeast of Tripoli, killing at least 20 of them.

Wednesday’s attack was car-ried out by pro-Gadhafi forces who had hastily retreated from the oil city of Ras Lanouf after rebels captured that city earlier this week, said Ahmed Zeleity, a rebel commander.

The ambush showed that pro-regime forces retain the ability to strike back even as the rebels tighten their control over the nation’s capital.

Abu Ketf said fighting was

raging today outside Bin Jawad, but he had no details.

Rebels also have seized sev-eral parts of Sebha, another Gadhafi stronghold still holding out, including the main com-mercial Gamal Abdel-Nasser street, according to the NTC’s Adel al-Zintani, who is in daily telephone contact with rebel commanders in the desert city, 400 miles south of Tripoli.

He said mercenaries from sub-Saharan African nations who had been paid by Gadhafi have fled the city, but loyal sol-diers were continuing to hold firm.

The humanitarian situation is bad with lengthy power and water outages, he said.

In search of funds, the head of Libya’s rebel Cabinet was meeting today with Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, his second stop on a European tour aimed at securing the release of billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets.

Mahmoud Jibril meets Ber-lusconi in Milan after laying out plans in Paris for govern-ing Libya after the collapse of Gadhafi’s 42-year regime.

The Libyan opposition said they urgently need at least $5 billion in frozen assets to pay state salaries, maintain vital services and repair critical oil facilities.

LONDON (AP) — NATO intelligence and reconnais-sance assets are being used in the hunt to track down Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

British Defense Secretary Liam Fox said NATO was play-ing an active role in efforts to locate Gadhafi — who fled from his Tripoli compound before it was stormed by oppo-sition forces Tuesday.

The rebel leadership has offered a $2 million bounty on Gadhafi’s head, but the auto-crat has refused to surrender as his 42-year regime crum-bles in the North African nation, fleeing to an unknown destination.

Speaking to a local televi-sion channel Wednesday, apparently by phone, Gad-hafi vowed from hiding to fight on “until victory or martyrdom.”

Fox declined to confirm today whether troops from Britain’s elite Special Air Ser-vice or Special Boat Service were involved in attempts to locate Gadhafi — but acknowledged that NATO has a key role.

“We never comment about special forces, not least because if we were to use them under those circum-stances it would compromise their security,” Fox said.

European officials have con-firmed that small numbers of

British, French and other spe-cial forces have been work-ing inside Libya in recent months.

“It is fair to say, however, that NATO is providing intel-ligence and reconnaissance assets to help in the hunt for Col. Gadhafi, and indeed the remnants of the regime,”

Fox said . “Last night, NATO was more active t h a n w e have been in recent days in terms of air activ-ity against

the resisting elements.”

Rebels say Gadhafi’s home-town of Sirte, which is 250 miles (400 kilometers) east of Tripoli on the Mediterranean Sea, is now a key target.

Mahmoud Jibril, the head of the opposition government, said Wednesday during talks in Paris that Gadhafi could be “in Sirte or any other place.”

Britain previously provided a small number of military advisers — thought to be around 12 — to help organize Libya’s rebel forces. France and Italy also sent similar troops to assist the anti-Gad-hafi forces with training and logistics.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) Merriam-Webster Inc. has added dozens of entries to the latest edition of its Collegiate Dictionary. Here are some, along with the year in which Merriam-Web-ster researchers first found them used in an Eng-lish-language publication, and their meanings:• Americana

(1841): genre of American music with roots in early folk and coun-try music.

• boomerang child (1988): young adult who returns to live at her family home, especially for financial reasons.

SyriA upriSing

Activist: Gunmen snatch, beat up cartoonistBEIRUT (AP) — Masked

gunmen dragged Syria’s best-known political cartoon-ist from his car before dawn today, beat him severely and left him bleeding along the side of a road days after he compared Syria’s president to Moammar Gadhafi, human rights activists said.

Hospitalized with serious injuries, Ali Ferzat appears to have become the most famous victim of the repression of Syria’s 5-month uprising — a stark reminder that no Syrian is immune to the government crackdown.

Passers-by found Ferzat “heavily beaten and physically abused,” said Omar Idilbi, a spokesman for the Local Coordination Committees, an activist group that helps orga-nize and track the uprising. Pictures published on online forums today showed the artist in a hospital bed with heavily bandaged hands and a bandage right above his right eye.

Idilbi blamed security forces for the attack, although Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the London-based Syrian Obser-vatory for Human Rights, said the identity of the attackers could not be confirmed.

Ferzat has said he had great hopes for Assad when

he became president in 2000 after inheriting power from his late father. But in recent years Ferzat has become a vehement critic of the regime, particu-larly as the military launches a brutal crackdown on the coun-try’s protest movement.

This week, he published a cartoon on his website show-ing Assad with a packed suit-case, hitchhiking a ride with

a fleeing Gadhafi. Many of his cartoons directly criti-cize Assad, even though cari-catures of the president are forbidden.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney writes in his new memoir that President George W. Bush rejected his advice in 2007 to bomb a sus-pected nuclear reactor site in Syria.

Cheney said he was “a lone voice” for military action against Syria. Other advisers were reluctant, Cheney said, because of “the bad intelli-gence we had received about Iraq’s stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction” before the 2003 invasion of that country.

The Israelis bombed the Syrian site later in 2007.

Cheney’s autobiography, “In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir,” also dis-

cusses his history of health prob-lems, includ-ing multi-p l e h e a r t attacks.

I n a n interview

Wednes-d a y w i t h

NBC News, Cheney said he had a secret resignation letter signed and stored in a safe in case he became incapacitated.

Cheney said he signed the resignation letter in March 2001, about two months after taking office. Only Bush and one of the vice president’s staff members knew the letter existed.

In his book, Cheney writes that he was unconscious for weeks after heart surgery in 2010.

Cheney’s book includes criticism of other members of Bush’s administration. He accuses former Secre-tary of State Condoleezza Rice of naivete and says he believed former Secretary of State Colin Powell tried to undermine Bush “by criti-cizing administration policy to people outside the gov-ernment.” Powell’s resigna-tion after the 2004 election “was for the best,” Cheney writes.

“In My Time” will be pub-lished next week by Simon & Schuster.

SIdELINESNCAA hits Pearlwith big penalty

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NCAA said it wanted to send a clear message by slapping Bruce Pearl with a three-year show-cause penalty: Coaches are responsible for their programs.

The sanctions an-nounced Wednesday make it harder for the former Tennessee men’s basketball coach to get another college job any-time soon. Pearl is pro-hibited from recruiting during the next three years, and a school would have to convince the NCAA to have that penal-ty removed if it hired him.

“As these allegations are becoming more and more regular, it’s very clear that a head coach is being held responsible for his program,” said Brit-ton Banowsky, Confer-ence USA commission-er and vice-chair of the NCAA’s Committee on In-fractions.

The NCAA said Wednes-day it had punished Pearl for lying to investigators about improperly host-ing recruits at his home and urging others to do the same.

Saints boast loaded backfieldBy The Associated Press

OXNARD, Calif. — Pierre Thomas feels a bit nostalgic when talking about the New Orleans Saints’ core group of running backs. He can’t help but be reminded of 2009.

Thomas compared this year’s crop of rushers to the crew from two seasons ago that featured Mike Bell, Reggie Bush and Thomas — a group which ranked sixth in the NFL in yards gained on the ground.

The Saints are hoping a similar production also pro-vides the same end result: a Super Bowl championship.

“I feel like it’s the same

way,” Thomas said Wednes-day following New Orleans’ third practice during a week-long stay in Southern Cali-fornia. “It’s a good changeup for us to have three different backs, and three dangerous backs, back there. It allows our offense to be diverse and to try new things.”

And if it feels like an entirely new group from a season ago, it practically is.

Despite being the lone hold-over on the depth chart from last year, Thomas is getting his legs back under him after missing much of the season because of injuries. He’ll be joined in a revamped back-field by first-round pick Mark

Ingram and the diminutive Darren Sproles, who signed as a free agent from San Diego.

Thomas believes this year’s slew of backs can be a for-midable bunch, with each player bringing something different to the table.

“I see us as a three-headed monster, like we were in ‘09,” Thomas said. “It’s a good rotation and dangerous backfield. ... You got Spro-les, he’s a fast guy, quick guy, agile guy — something like Reggie. You got Mark Ingram, who is basically both. And I think I’m both,

Jeffersongives DNAsampleto policeBy The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — Authorities searched LSU starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson’s apartment on Wednesday and collected a swab of his DNA in con-nection with a bar fight last week that injured four people.

“He gave us 100 percent cooperation,” Baton Rouge police Sgt. Don Stone said, adding that the quarterback’s attorney also showed up and that authori-ties didn’t ask Jefferson any questions.

“During the course of the investigation we got enough probable cause to obtain a search warrant for his home.

Flashes shoot for first winBy Steve [email protected]

It was a case of where the score looked far worse than it appeared.

Looking at last week’s 37-14 loss to Madison-St. Joe, St. Aloysius coach B.J. Smithhart saw easily cor-rectable mistakes.

The problem is nearly every mistake resulted

in big plays that put the Flashes (0-1) in a two-touch-down deficit early. And the Bruins, who brought nearly

60 players, wore down the young Flashes as the game went on, increasing the like-lihood of mental errors. St. Al dressed 32 players.

“We had four or five plays of over 40 yards and that’s one too many,” Smithhart said. “They were simple plays, speed sweeps, things like that. That’s what is so frustrating. We’ve got to work on wrapping up and

tackling. They want to win more than anybody and they know we’ve got to make some corrections.”

The Flashes will need to improve their assignment discipline and tackling when they take on Greenville-St. Joe on Friday, as the Fight-ing Irish have a quarterback bigger than most Class 1A

COLLEgEfOOTBaLL

Consolidation is only choice to solve football woesFans at the Friday’s 49th

annual Red Carpet Bowl expected to see a pair of close games and see an improve-ment after Vicksburg and Warren Central combined for four wins last season.

What the fans got was a near repeat of last year. Vicksburg was overwhelmed by Brandon, 47-14, while Pearl took advantage of Warren Central’s mistakes in a 41-6 victory.

The combined score was Rankin County teams 88, Warren County teams 20. Ouch.

In the first game, the mis-match was apparent during the singing of the national anthem. Vicksburg dressed 55 players, while Brandon dressed more than 90.

In the second game, Warren Central and Pearl dressed more than 60 players apiece. But the difference is Pearl is a Class 5A school.

Both Vicksburg and Warren Central sit at the bottom of Class 6A attendance figures. According to the last reclas-sification, Vicksburg was 31st out of 32 6A schools with 1,106 students, while Warren Central was 27th with 1,165.

The two schools are classic tweeners, too big for 5A, but realistically too small to com-pete in 6A.

It’s a numbers game and unfortunately, for Vicksburg and Warren Central, the line has to be drawn somewhere. Numbers don’t always add up to consistent winning football programs, as Green-ville Weston, Southaven and DeSoto Central, which are in the top 10 in numbers, can attest. South Panola has won seven of the last eight state championships and is ranked 22nd in enrollment. But increased numbers can always help. It’s no secret that Madison Central, Merid-ian and Oak Grove are three of the biggest 6A schools and three of the most successful

football programs.Forty, 30, even 20 years ago,

Warren County could sup-port two large high schools with successful football pro-grams. Now, the county’s population is able to support only one.

The results on the field bear this out.

When was the last time either of the two county schools was relevant on the state football scene? That would be 2008, when Vicks-burg finished 9-3. Since then, the Gators are 3-20, counting Friday’s loss.

The Vikings, who won championships in 1988 and 1994, have fallen off signifi-cantly, too. Since 2004, when the Vikings finished 10-2, they have gone 28-40.

The facilities have mirrored the results on the field. Once, the two programs had facili-ties that were the envy of the state. Despite a new weight room at Warren Central, both schools are saddled with aging, obsolescent facilities.

If the county schools are to snap out of their doldrums on the gridiron, the phrase uttered by Christopher Lam-bert’s immortal character Connor MacLeod in the 1986 classic sci-fi movie “High-lander” comes to mind.

There can be only one. One high school that is.

NEW YORK — Negotiators for NBA owners and players will likely meet again next week. And the league will have to offer something different to interest the players.

The union has been holding regional meetings, informing its members just how harsh it believes the owners’ proposal is for a new collective bargaining agreement. The league is seeking significant changes to the salary structure as a way to eliminate its losses, which it says totaled $300 million last season.

Trojans aim to fixmistakes after lossFrom staff reports

After fumbling four times in a season-opening loss to Park Place Christian last week, it was obvious what one of the points of emphasis would be for Tallulah Academy when it returned to practice.

“Over the course of a day or two, you can correct that,” Tal-lulah coach Chris Busby said. “We did ball control drills on Monday. We ran the gauntlet and tried to strip it out.”

Busby has also tried to flush away the 26-20 loss last Friday as simply one bad night. The Trojans committed the four turnovers — one of them in the open field on a potential scoring play — and gave up two long touchdown passes.

Heading into Friday night’s game against Lee, Ark., forget-ting the previous outing was as important as gearing up for the next one, Busby said.

“That’s what every Monday practice is, win or lose, is flushing last week and look-ing at the obstacle in front of you,” he said. “I think it was just a bad game. It’s one of those things that happens. I just hate that it happened to us when it did.”

Central Hinds atBowling Green

Coach Todd Montgomery wants his Central Hinds Cou-gars to get physical.

Montgomery said a lack of physical play in the second half contributed to wasting a 17-point lead in an opening-night loss to Riverfield. Head-ing into what figures to be another hard-hitting matchup with Bowling Green, getting mean and aggressive was cru-cial if the Cougars are to avoid a repeat performance.

“I thought we were awful. We weren’t nearly as physi-cal as we should be,” Mont-gomery said. “Riverfield was one of the most physical teams we’ve played in a long time. It might have been a shock to us. But in the long run it might turn out to be a good thing.”

On a similar note, Montgom-ery was hopeful the pain of losing a season-opener for the first time in five seasons shocked Central Hinds out of whatever complacency it might have slipped into. CHA raced out to a 17-0 halftime lead against Rivefield, but lost 18-17 when a blocked field goal was returned for a touchdown in the final minutes.

“I think it was more our boys had a 17-point lead and thought they could relax. They found out they couldn’t,” Montgomery said.

MHSAAHinds AHS at Richland

Like half the teams in Mis-sissippi, Hinds AHS spent this week trying to regroup after a tough season-opening loss.

The War Dawgs lost 36-28 to archrival Raymond in qua-druple overtime last Friday. It was an encouraging effort, on some levels, for a team that won only one game last season. Even so, it’s clear there’s plenty of work to do for Hinds before it’s competi-tive on a weekly basis.

“It’s all about getting better, and the kids understand that. If we don’t get better every week, we’re going ot strug-gle,” Hinds coach Michael Fields said.

Week two of the high school season brings a meeting with another Class 4A school, Rich-land. Hinds, a Class 1A school, was already heading into the game with obvious matchup problems in terms of depth. It only got worse when starting tailback Shaquille Stamps suf-fered a shoulder injury against Raymond. He’ll be out for a couple of weeks, Fields said.

Richland has struggled in recent years, but Fields noted that so has his team. Facing a school three times Hinds’ size also is never easy.

“I know they’ve been down in 4A, but they look pretty good on film. When you’re 1A and they’re 4A, it makes a dif-ference,” Fields said.

Port Gibson atCoahoma County

Port Gibson (1-0) makes a second straight trip to the Mis-sissippi Delta tonight when they battle Class 2A playoff power Coahoma County (1-0) in Clarksdale.

Coahoma County went 11-2 last season, advancing to the second round of the Class 2A playoffs. Running back Damien Blue led Coahoma to a 14-6 win over Humphreys County last week. Blue fin-ished with 141 yards on 18 carries.

The Blue Waves got a win, beating Hollandale Simmons 20-12.

Owens rehabs, workson his acting career

ATLANTA (AP) — While Terrell Owens waits for an NFL team to contact him, the 15-year veteran wide receiver has focused his attention toward an acting career.

Owens, who tore his ante-rior cruciate ligament and had surgery in early April, filmed an episode of the USA sitcom “Necessary Roughness” on Wednesday at the Georgia Dome. He said his knee is a couple months away from being completely healed and though no team has contacted him, he still expects to play this season.

“I’m still not 100 percent to be able to go to a team and contribute,” Owens told The Associated Press. “When I get to the point to where I’m comfortable and able to run around, I’ll feel like those calls should be coming.”

Owens, 37, said he is not worried about skeptics who wonder if can still be a major NFL contributor. He said he is capable of making plays on the field, pointing out the 983 yards and nine touchdowns he had with the Cincinnati Ben-gals last season.

Owens also said the league’s 41⁄2-month lockout helped him. He said after his surgery four months ago, he didn’t feel pressured to rush his rehab

because there were no off-season train-ing activities being held.

“It worked out for me,” he said. “I d o n ’ t s e e where there

was a disad-vantage considering nobody was doing anything at the time. There was a lot of down-time. But that’s for anybody who was nursing an injury. It allowed us that time with no pressure.”

If a team doesn’t come call-ing anytime soon, Owens said he can spend more time honing his acting skills. He has spent numerous of hours in acting class, learning how to complete a dialogue with-out stumbling over his lines.

Liz Kruger, the executive producer and creator of “Nec-essary Roughness,” said Owens has the potential to become a good actor and is eager to learn.

On the sitcom, Owens will play the role of an All-Pro defensive back on the show’s season finale, which airs Sept. 14.

Three-run second sinks BravesCHICAGO (AP) — Even in

defeat, the Atlanta Braves’ clubhouse reverberates with confidence, as if there are greater things to focus on than one loss.

A deep run into October, for example.

Derek Lowe pitched seven strong innings, and Chipper Jones and Alex Gonzalez homered, but it wasn’t enough as the Braves fell to the Chi-cago Cubs 3-2 on Wednesday night.

All the damage done to Lowe (8-12) came in the second, when the Cubs batted around and scored three runs.

Alfonso Soriano followed a leadoff walk with a two-run homer, and speedster Tony Campana reached on Dan Uggla’s fielding error and came around to score on a groundout.

The Cubs went on to load the bases, but Lowe induced an inning-ending groundout.

“I don’t consider that a rough inning for me,” Lowe said with a grin. “That’s damage control.”

Other than that, Lowe was as dominant as he’s been all season. He gave up four hits and four walks. Lowe struck out six and threw a season-high 119 pitches.

“He’s gonna get the loss, but I think he deserves better,” said Braves manager Fredi Gonza-lez. “You look at his linescore, and it might be one of his best starts. He was really, really good.”

Lowe tossed seven full innings for the first time since May 17.

“As embarrassing a stat as that may be, I’d rather be doing that now than back then,” Lowe said. “We’re wind-ing down and you’ve got six or seven starts left, you want to finish up strong to put our-selves in a good spot. We’re still trying to catch Philly.

“I don’t think this loss is going to stay with us very long, especially the way we’ve been playing.”

The Braves have won 15 of 20 and remain 61⁄2 games behind the Phillies in the NL East.

“Regardless of whether (Lowe) won or lost tonight, we needed him to give us innings and he did that,” said Jones. “That’s the luxury of how well we’ve played up until this point. We lose a game like this tonight, it doesn’t really bother us because we are where we are. Just file this one away and come back out tomorrow.”

Jones’ home run chased

Cubs starter Randy Wells (5-4) with two outs in the seventh, but it was just the second hit of the game for Atlanta.

Wells held the Braves to one run and two hits over 62⁄3 innings, striking out six and improving to 4-1 in his career against Atlanta.

“He had an outstanding changeup tonight. He made one mistake with it,” Jones

said. “I thought he pitched as good ... Well, I can’t really say that, he had us no-hit in the seventh in our place, so I have seen him pitch that well. ”

Wells, then a rookie, had a no-hit bid broken up by Jones with two outs in the seventh on June 2, 2009 in Atlanta. The Braves came back from a 5-0 deficit to win 6-5 in 12 innings.

From staff reports

Behind Henry Wrigley’s seventh inning grand slam, the Montgomery Biscuits downed the Mississippi Braves 8-5 on Wednesday.

The M-Braves led 5-4 with two outs in the seventh when Wrigley hit his slam off closer Brett Butts to put the Biscuits ahead. The loss end-ed a season-high five-game win streak for the M-Braves.

Aaron Shafer picked up his second straight quality start. He allowed just three earned runs in six innings of work. He outdueled Tampa Bay Rays prospect Alex Co-lome, who allowed four runs

on seven hits in five innings. Each took no-decisions.

Marquis Fleming took the win for Montgomery, his fifth. Butts suffered a blown save and the loss, his second. He was also ejected after hit-ting John Matulia following the grand slam.

Mississippi built a steady 4-1 lead through five innings. Ernesto Mejia hit a double to lead off the second and came in to score on a Donell Linares RBI groundout two batters later.

Mejia also picked up an RBI on the night, his M-Braves’ record 86th, when he grounded out to bring in Jor-dan Kreke.

The reason was to search for certain items that will assist in the ongoing investigation and will help either prove or disprove the allegations against Jefferson.”

Investigators left with sev-eral brown bags of evidence, but Stone said he could not immediately discuss what items were taken from the senior quarterback’s home.

The search came a day after Jefferson and three teammates — offensive lineman Chris Davenport, linebacker Josh Johns and

receiver Jarvis Landry — were interviewed by police for the first time since the fight that occurred in the parking lot of a bar were police say numerous LSU players were gathered late Thursday night. The most seriously injured victim has three broken vertebrae, Police chief Dewayne White has said. There have been no arrests and no charges have been filed, but White stressed that police hope to gather enough evidence.

too. I can add a little bit of shake in me when I can pull it out.”

Injuries wreaked havoc on the Saints’ ground game last year, causing the team to fall to 28th in the league in rushing. Thomas appeared in just six games and Bush was limited to eight. Rookie Chris Ivory was promoted by default and led the team with 716 yards in 12 games.

Cleary in need of reinforce-ments, the Saints gave the position a facelift during the offseason. They traded up to draft Ingram with the No. 28 pick and later shipped Bush

to Miami, replacing him by giving Sproles a four-year deal.

Ingram and Thomas are expected to share the heavy lifting, including getting car-ries at the goal line. Ivory may also be in the mix for carries. But Sproles, who is listed at 5-foot-6, could be the X-factor.

While Sproles has never been an every-down runner in his six years in the NFL, he will complement the other two as a change-of-pace back, as well as being a steady receiving threat on passing downs.

linemen.Junior quarterback Raines

Rester is a mammoth 6-foot-3, 240 pounds and will be a load to bring down.

Rester will present a big challenge for St. Al’s young defense. While not a pol-ished passer in his first var-sity start, as he completed 5 of 20 passes for 46 yards and an interception in a 21-20 win over Riverside last week, he is an excellent runner. He rushed for 87 yards and three scores last week.

Like Tebow’s Florida Gator teams, the Irish run the spread offense to create lots of running lanes for their big signal caller.

“We’re going to see a lot of four and five wide receiver sets from them,” Smithhart said. “They’re going to want to spread you out and make you defend the whole field.”

One sign that the St. Al defense was on the field far too long last week was borne

out by the tackling numbers. Three different St. Al defend-ers had at least nine tackles, led by Sage Lewis with 14 stops and Carlton Campbell with 10.

As for his team, Smith-hart liked what he saw at times offensively. He was impressed with how soph-omore quarterback Carl-isle Koestler has grown into his role under center. Last year, he split time with Ford Biedenharn, but now that the job is solely Koestler’s, Smithhart is excited about the possibilities.

The sophomore completed 4-of-9 passes for 39 yards with no interceptions.

“He’s going to be really good,” Smithhart said. “He improved a lot after the jam-boree. Give him a couple a games and he’s going to be sharp.”

Campbell led the Flashes last week with 15 carries for 45 yards and a TD.

Modern bride’s trip to altar is crowded with relativesDear Abby: A young bride-

to-be who signed her letter “Touchy Decision in Ohio” (June 18) prefers her step-dad walk her down the aisle at her wedding, but is wor-ried about what her biological father (whom she sees once or twice a year) and other rela-tives might think.

In my many decades on this Earth, especially during the last 10 or 15 years, I have seen all sorts of changes in wed-ding etiquette, including the customs governing who walks down the aisle. In addition to fathers escorting daughters, I’ve seen brothers escort sis-ters and children walk their mother to the altar. In Ohio’s case, the logical solution, and the more appropriate one, to me, would be to have both gen-

tlemen escort her down the aisle, one on either side. What could be lovelier?

The bride-to-be should con-sider that the hurt feelings that often crop up on sensi-tive occasions such as this, if not attended to beforehand, can tarnish the memory of the event in the minds of loved ones forever. — Barb H. in Springfield, Mass.

Dear Barb: Thank you for your response. Opin-ions regarding Ohio’s letter

are numerous and varied. A majority of those I heard from agree with your suggestion that both dads share the task. However, others viewed it dif-ferently. My newspaper read-ers’ comment:

Dear Abby: If the biological father wanted to be a part of his daughter’s life he should have made more of an effort to be there for her. The step-dad no doubt put up with all the growing pains associated with raising a teenager as well as other parenting chal-lenges. These are the prereq-uisites for walking a daugh-ter down the aisle. Although most males can father a child, not all of them can truly be a FATHER. — Stepdad to a Wonderful Daughter

Dear Abby: I can’t believe

how ignorant, uncaring and selfish a bride would be to dump her dad on her wedding day. Everyone WILL notice and everyone WILL care.

Ladies, unless your father is a total loser who was absent, a drunk, a jailbird, an addict or a deadbeat, walking you down the aisle is HIS privilege — no one else’s. It also shouldn’t be based on how much money he was able or willing to fork over for the wedding. This is the day a real man and father has looked forward to since the day you were born.

And to any man who is asked to escort a bride down the aisle: Before agreeing, ask what her situation is with her father. You may be taking a spot you don’t deserve. — Mary in Ohio

Dear Abby: My daughter wanted her stepfather AND her biological father to be part of her wedding. So her step-dad (my husband) walked her down the aisle to where I was sitting in the first row. I stood up, gave her my handkerchief and kissed her cheek. Then her father stepped out from the row behind me, and her stepdad handed her over to

her father, who walked her the rest of the way to the altar and gave her away. Everyone was happy with this amicable solu-tion. — Joyce in Alabama

Drug manufacturer has infoon where meds are made

Dear Dr. Gott: How can we know the source (country and producing company) of drugs?

Ordering drugs through an online company out-side the United States, I’ve noted they have come from Germany but are of Indian origin. Are they equivalent to U.S. manufactured drugs and specifications?

I’ve heard U.S.-made drugs might have components pro-duced overseas, so how do we know if drugs like this are safe? Does the Food and Drug Administration have any jurisdiction over ingredients made elsewhere for inclusion in U.S. pharmaceuticals?

Dear Reader: According to a Consumer Reports article from two years ago, the FDA requires a drug’s original packaging to list the name and address of the company that manufactures, packs or distributes a product. Unfor-tunately, this information often refers to over-the-coun-ter drugs, because most pre-scription drugs are rebottled and relabeled at your local pharmacy.

Many people obtain a one-month supply at a time. Those prescriptions that call for, let’s say, 100 tablets might get a factory-sealed original package of 100 pills with the pharmacy labeling affixed. Even in the instance of an OTC in lesser amounts, the information might reveal only where the drug is processed and packaged, not where the ingredients come from.

I understand that a person can contact the manufacturer of most drugs to determine where it is manufactured and will receive a satisfac-tory answer; however, this might take several days, and a patient might choose to begin a medication faster than that.

Manufacturing costs, ingre-dients and labor might be substantially cheaper in other countries. Beyond that, the FDA appears to inspect

domestic facilities more fre-quently than foreign facilities — another reason why drugs manufactured and packaged here are higher in cost.

My advice to you is to make a list of your medications. Telephone or otherwise con-tact the suppliers to request the information you feel is relevant. Determine if the drug or drugs and all ingredi-ents are manufactured, pack-aged and distributed within the United States without any outside input.

If you are dissatisfied with the answers presented, do your homework to find out if a comparable medication is available here and meets your standards. Good luck!

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — There will be some advantageous occurrences that pop up suddenly, and you’ll want to give them a chance.

Dr. Wallace: I have my sum-mer, work-play schedule all set up and it works perfectly for me. I am employed from 4 to 10 p.m. at a fast food restaurant Monday through Thursday. That way I can sleep late in the morning and have Friday and Saturday to spend with my friends and Sunday with my parents.

Last Saturday, when I was at the beach with a group of my friends, the restaurant manager called and talked with my mother. He told her that I was an excellent worker and he wanted to add Satur-day (same hours) to my work schedule because one of the workers quit without giving notice. My mom told him yes. I was really upset when I got the “good news.” I tried to talk the manager out of working Saturdays, but he told me no. He said if I didn’t like my new schedule I could quit. I enjoy my job and I save most of the money I earn to help with my college expenses, so I can’t quit.

When I questioned Mom about making this decision without discussing it with me, all she said was that she thought she was doing me a huge favor. When it comes to the restaurant manager, I find him to be a big jerk and I have lost all respect for him. Do you think my mother should have discussed this very important decision with me? Her deci-sion just ruined the rest of my summer. — Alyssa, Oceans-ide, Calif.

Alyssa: I’m sure Mom thought she was doing what was best for you, but the de-cision to work on Saturdays was yours to make, not hers. She shouldn’t have made a commitment for you. If you’re mature enough to handle the responsibilities of a paying job, you’re mature enough to make your own life decisions.

As for the manager, I agree

100 percent with your evalu-ation of his personality. He thinks you’re an excellent em-ployee, but is daring you to quit if you don’t like your new work schedule. His human relations skills are weak. Give him credit for offering you the extra hours, but he should have asked that you return his call as soon as possible in or-der for him to make other ar-rangements.

However, I would add that sometimes work does make demands on us that we don’t like, but nevertheless have to shoulder. Hang in there and enjoy the extra money you’ll be earning.

Drummer and last surviving band member Ben Sandmel said James “Glen” Croker, a lifelong resident of Lake Charles, La., had been in declining health for several years and that his fam-ily thought he had a heart attack. Sandmel said Croker began playing with the band in 1959. The band’s website said Croker’s electric guitar helped evolve the band’s string-band sound, by adding a “swaggering honky-tonk tinge” that included elements of the blues, R&B and rockabilly. The band was founded in 1933 by fiddler Luderin Darbone and accordionist Edwin Duhon. The group last performed in 2005 at LSU’s Manship Theatre. Their 1997 release “Deep Water” garnered a Grammy nomination in the best traditional/folk album category.

LAPD probe threatening Ferguson letter Craig Ferguson managed to crack a few jokes

on his talk show Tuesday after receiving an en-velope packed with white powder that turned out to be harmless.

“Today someone sent an envelope packed with white powder to the show. I offered to test it, but they said ‘no,”’ Ferguson quipped during a studio taping of “The Late Late Show.”

The taping went on as scheduled after the show received a threatening letter sent to Fer-guson. Police Det. Gus Villanueva declined to

discuss the nature of the threat against the talk show host, say-ing only that it was sent from overseas.

Two people at CBS Television City, where the show is filmed, were temporarily held in isolation after being exposed to the powder around 3 p.m. They were released after a hazardous materials team screened the powder and found it to be benign.

“Treme” star Wendell Pierce confirmed Michael Showers’ death. Showers played a police officer on the drama. An HBO spokesman did not return an e-mailed message for comment.

Showers’ work also includes “The Vampire Diaries,” “Traffic,” and the upcoming film, “Colombiana.”

A St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s spokesman says the 44-year-old man lived in Chalmette with his girlfriend, who reported him missing Tuesday after he didn’t return from a night out with a friend in the French Quarter. Authorities are not saying if they think foul play is involved.

REMEMBERING ‘SCARFACE’Al Pacino, cast celebrate film’s legacy

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Al Pacino says he got burned while making “Scarface.”

Literally, he grabbed the hot barrel of a gun that had just shot 30 rounds during one of Tony Montana’s violent scenes.

“My hand stuck to that sucker,” the 71-year-old actor recalled. He couldn’t work for two weeks.

Pacino relayed the experi-ence during a discussion with “Scarface” co-stars Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia and F. Murray Abraham and pro-ducer Martin Bregman at a party Tuesday heralding the film’s Blu-ray release.

Part of the charm of the film, Pacino said, is that it wasn’t initially a hit.

“It’s one of my favorites because of its whole evolu-tion,” he said. “It (was) sort of eviscerated after it opened by the press. ... Nobody was fond of it, except it had good audi-ence participation.”

He said “it’s almost a mir-acle” audiences continue to discover and appreciate the film.

He wanted to make it after being inspired by Paul Muni’s

performance in the 1932 origi-nal. Sidney Lumet suggested he make the main character Cuban instead of Italian.

Pacino’s “Scarface” is set in 1980s Miami, and Tony Mon-tana is an ambitious immi-grant who runs a growing drug empire until he even-

tually collapses under greed and addiction. Pacino’s per-formance as the gun-wield-ing, coke-snorting Montana is among his most memorable.

He said that during the nine months he was shooting the film, his character practically inhabited him. When a friend’s

yappy little dog lunged at him, Pacino said he cocked back his fist instinctively, as if threat-ening a punch.

The Blu-Ray will be released Sept. 6. “Scarface” is also set to play at 475 theaters nation-wide on Aug. 31 for a special one-night engagement.

Glenn Beckhosts rallyin Old Cityof Jerusalem

JERUSALEM (AP) — Con-servative Christian commen-tator Glenn Beck capped a contentious visit to Israel Wednesday by hosting a rally next to a hotly disputed holy site in Jerusa-lem’s Old City.

Hundreds of support-ers, including Israeli politi-cians, were on hand to hear the former Fox TV personality in the final leg of his “Restoring Courage” tour of the Holy Land. A small group of protesters held banners saying “Glenn Beck, go home.”

Beck’s unabashedly pro-Israel, anti-Muslim rhetoric has endeared him to some on Israel’s far-right. But religious figures and left-wing politi-cians have come together in an unusual alliance appealing to Israelis to shun his embrace.

Religious Jews are worried he is here to spread the Christian gospel, while dovish Israelis reject Beck’s support for West Bank Jewish settlements and his criticism of peace efforts.

NBA lockout Griffin begins work at Funny or DieNEW YORK (AP) — Stymied

by the NBA lockout, Blake Grif-fin is going to work for Will Fer-rell instead.

This week, the Los Ange-les Clippers All-Star forward is interning at Funny Or Die, the comedy website co-founded by Ferrell and Adam McKay. Griffin arrived at the site’s L.A. offices Tuesday to begin three days of work in video production.

He will help write, shoot, edit and act in several videos for the site. Funny Or Die quickly creates digital comedy videos, often with celebrity guest appearances. Griffin said he’s

a big comedy fan and an avid viewer of Funny Or Die. As an intern, he hopes to learn more about f i lm production. “Just to get

an inside look at how things are run here is exciting to me,” Griffin said by phone Tuesday. “I don’t know what interns at Funny Or Die are like, but I’m about to find out, I guess.”

Mike Farah, president of production at Funny Or Die,

pledged that Griffin will be treated like other interns. He noted that the 22-year-old Griffin is, after all, about the same age as most of the site’s college interns. (The others, of course, may not be able to dunk over midsize sedans.)

“We’re going to put him to work,” said Farah. “He’s shooting a series of videos, and he’s also coming to meet-ings. He’s basically doing everything that an intern does.”

Griffin counts “Old School,” “Wedding Crashers” and “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” among his

favorite movies. On Funny Or Die, he likes Zach Galifiana-kis’ mock interview series “Between Two Ferns.”

“I’ll go see a bad comedy over a good action movie any day,” Griffin said.

Griffin, who was last sea-son’s NBA Rookie of the Year and won the Slam Dunk Con-test (in which he leaped over a Kia Optima), has been keep-ing busy during the NBA lock-out. He’s done a lot of spon-sorship work, been active on Twitter and launched a bas-ketball camp for kids in Okla-homa City.
