No tax hike,no job cuts,schools sayBy Pamela Hitchinsphitchins@vicksburgpost.com

No property tax increases and no staff layoffs will be required by the Vicksburg Warren School District’s pro-posed budget for 2011-12, the district’s financial director Dale McClung said Thurday night.

At just more than $82.8 mil-lion, the budget will increase spending by about $2.8 mil-lion over 20-2011. The plan was presented at a public hearing just before the board’s regular business meeting.

Superintendent Dr. Eliza-beth Duran Swinford said the budget meets the general needs of the district’s nearly 9,000 students but also tar-gets special education and her “accelerated program for transition,” or APT, which aims to help over-age stu-dents master course work and catch up.

“We want to continue expanding those services for middle school students and those in the junior high, before they get to high school

Mall ownerseeks, getsschool yeafor IMAXBy Pamela Hitchinsphitchins@vicksburgpost.com

The prospect of an IMAX screen in the theater com-plex at the Vicksburg Mall met with unanimous support of the Vicksburg Warren School District Board of Trustees meeting Thursday night.

Superintendent Dr. Eliza-beth Duran Swinford told board members she had been asked by mall owner Andy Weiner for a letter of support to show potential investors in the large-format screen, enhanced image and sound productions.

“An IMAX theater would present different types of movies relative to historical perspective as well as sci-ence perspective and many movies of educational value,” Swinford said. “I believe it would be a good thing for our students to go on field trips locally, supporting our own here in Vicksburg in the event that they can bring that theater here.”

‘BUDDY’ HALLBERGLocal theater ‘great’ dies at 75By Pamela Hitchinsphitchins@vicksburgpost.com

Vicksburg community the-ater has lost one of its lights with the death of William “Buddy” Hallberg Jr., a stage veteran of more than a half-century.

Hallberg, who was 75, died Wednesday at his home. He was revered as an actor and beloved for his generosity with others in local commu-nity theater.

“He’ll be remembered as

somebody who would help you at the drop of a hat,” said his son, Miles Hallberg of Spartanburg, S.C. “Especially in the theater — he lived for that. It was his pride and joy.”

“He was a true Southern gentleman,” said his friend and theater colleague Jack Burns. “He was always polite and courteous, very intel-ligent, highly skilled as an actor and yet very humble about his skills. He was always willing to share them with anyone who wanted to

take the time to listen and learn from him.”

To those who did, it was like standing on the shoul-ders of giants, of which Hall-berg was chief, Burns said.

Hallberg, a Vicksburg native, had been active in local theater since the 1950s, as actor, director, coach and all-around helper at both the Vicksburg Theatre Guild and the Westside Theatre Foundation.

By The Associated Press

CONCORD, Ala. — It was bad enough that a tornado obliterated Derrick Keef’s house. Worse still was the heartbreaking scavenger hunt for his most price-less possessions strewn across the devastated neighborhood.

His guns were in the ruins of a neigh-bor’s home. A Christ-mas heirloom shared space in a ditch with broken glass and jagged nails. And his 7-year-old son’s bike — one of the few toys he could salvage — was pinned under a car a block away.

“I’ve been going from lot to lot finding stuff,” he said as he rifled through debris in Concord, Ala., in search of a family photo album. “It’s like CSI.”

Computer, TV, game missing in burglariesTwo residential burglaries were reported

in the city Thursday, said police Lt. Bobby Stewart.

At 5:05 p.m., a resident in the 300 block of Shady Lane reported a Dell laptop computer valued at $600, a 32-inch Emerson TV valued at $350 and 20 DVDs and CDs valued at $500 had been stolen.

At 5:20 p.m. a Wii game system valued at $300 was reported stolen from a home in the 400 block of Groome Drive.

Shady Lane is a street in the Enchanted Hills subdivision off Porters Chapel Road where residents formed a neighborhood watch a year ago in response to burglaries in

the area.

Culkin Water District has lifted a boil-water alert for Berryman Road, as well as the 7800 block of Mississippi 3 to the county line.

HallbergContinued from Page A1.

In March 2008, he was pre-sented with only the second-ever VTG lifetime achieve-ment award, honoring what was then a 51-year love affair with the theater.

In presenting the award, then-VTG president Terry Welch compared Hallberg to Hollywood’s Cary Grant.

Hallberg reflected on his first acting role — in a 1954 Carr Central High School production of “The Impor-tance of Being Earnest” — and said, “I really only had a slight interest in theater at the time, but I soon realized it turned on a light inside of me.”

“He was always ready to take us hunting and fishing or anywhere outdoors, but the theater was his love since high school,” Miles Hallberg said.

Hallberg acted in plays while attending the Uni-versity of Mississippi and in summer theater in Connecticut.

After two years at Ole Miss, Hallberg had hoped to attend theater school in Con-necticut, his son said, but he returned to Vicksburg upon his father’s death to take over his father’s position as local agent for Standard Oil.

Miles Hallberg remem-bered his father as “stern, but fair.”

“He was always there, and he loved to go and to do,” Miles Hallberg said.

After retiring from Stan-dard Oil, Hallberg worked for Rivertown Beverages, sold cars and with his wife owned

Sumthin Diff’rent Florist.He appeared in commu-

nity theater in Jackson and Monroe as well as commer-cials, narrated documentary films and played a support-ing role in the 1976 movie “Ode to Billy Joe.”

And for decades, Hallberg acted in the long-running Vicksburg favorite, “Gold in the Hills,” playing the vil-lain and other roles over the years. He also said one of his favorite roles was the part of Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof,” and one of his final roles for the VTG was in the 2009 production of “The Fantasticks.”

In recent years, Hallberg worked with Burns and the Westside Theatre, acting in “Deadwood Dick” and other plays and helping direct “Always Patsy Cline.”

“He was a team player and a wonderful supporter of the arts in Vicksburg,” Burns said.

Hallberg was predeceased by his wife, Betty Jane, who died in 2002, and son Bill Hallberg III, who died in 2003 at the age of 40 of injuries he received when a car struck the his all-terrain vehicle at a hunting camp in Issaquena County.

In addition to Miles Hall-berg and his wife, Krista, Hallberg is survived by a grandson and granddaugh-ter, and cousins, nephews and nieces.

Funeral arrangements were pending under the direction of Riles Funeral Home.

HATTIESBURG (AP) — Laura Bush says she didn’t always see herself the way the media portrayed her when her husband was president.

“One identity that was assigned to me was that of the stereotypical 1950s house-wife,” she said Thursday at the Spirit of Women confer-ence in Hattiesburg.

Her husband, George W. Bush, was president for eight years, beginning in 2001.

Laura Bush, a former teacher and librarian, said the cause of

literacy is important.“I believe that every child

in America should learn to read,” she said. “I know that books have the power to shape our journey as a nation.

She touched on literacy when speaking of the women in Afghanistan.

“Literacy enables women to ask questions, to understand their rights, to participate in their government,” she said.

N.O. mayor planning ‘War Room’to fight city’s murder ‘epidemic’

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced new initiatives Thursday to combat what he called an “epidemic” of murder in the city, including a new crime commissioner and the creation of what he called a “War Room” to fight murder.

The announcements came during Landrieu’s second state-of-the-city address. He touted accomplishments since taking office, including elimi-nation of an $80 million budget deficit and what he called a sounder budgeting process.

He touched on topics close to the hearts of many residents: “In the first four months of 2011, we have already filled over 18,000 potholes, fixed over 3,000 street lights. By the end of the year, we will have filled 30,000 potholes and fixed 16,000 street lights.”

But, he said, employee health plan claims have been higher than expected and that will lead to a call for city depart-

ments to further cut budgets.He devoted much of his

speech to efforts to combat a violent crime rate that saw 175 people killed last year and 72 this year.

“The fact remains — it is the single most important issue facing our city. A whole gener-ation of young people is being lost to the streets,” Landrieu said in prepared remarks. “Too many lives taken too early. Too many families bear-ing too much pain. The relent-lessness of the killing has made us numb to the reality.”

Former City Council member

James Carter, an attorney, will fill the new role of Crim-inal Justice Commissioner, Landrieu said, adding he is launching a “Mayoral Strate-gic Command.”

“The Strategic Command will be the City’s War Room to combat murder,” Landrieu said. “The Commissioner will serve as a partner alongside other key leaders as we tackle this issue at the highest level. Our mission is clear — change the culture of death and vio-lence on the streets of New Orleans to a culture of peace and safety and security.”

Man says guilty in deaths of family membersJACKSON (AP) — A Terry

man charged in the deaths of his daughter and son-in-law has pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter.

James Bailey entered the

pleas Wednesday in Hinds County Circuit Court.

Circuit Judge Bill Gowan sentenced Bailey to 20 years on each count with the sen-tences to run concurrently,

meaning at the same time.Prosecutors said 40-year-

old Becky Nelson and her husband, 39-year-old Ricky Nelson, were shot to death in their home in Terry in 2010.

WASHINGTON — An adminis-tration that lacks a consistent for-eign policy philosophy has never-theless established a predictable foreign policy pattern. A popu-lar revolt takes place in coun-try X. President Barack Obama is caught by surprise and says little. A few days later an admin-istration spokesman weakly calls for “reform.” A few more days of mounting protests and vio-lence follow. Then, after an inter-nal debate that spills out into the media, the president decides he must do something. But hoping to keep expectations low, his actions are limited in scope. By this point, a strategic opportunity is missed and the protesters in country X feel betrayed.

This record of serial indecision has damaged American interests. The Obama administration initially stood aloof from the Iranian Green Revolution, even though demo-cratic regime change may be the only realistic alternative to Ameri-can confrontation with the Tehran regime over its nuclear ambitions. In Libya, Obama waited until Beng-hazi was in the shadow of genocide before an incremental response. Obama has deployed American credibility in Libya — eventu-ally supporting regime change —

while pursuing policies that seem designed to result in a stalemate. In Syria, the administration calls for “meaningful reforms” while Damascus employs mass violence against mass protests. Apart from moral considerations, wouldn’t the coldest pragmatist see benefit in the overthrow of Iran’s main ally in the Middle East?

It is no longer credible to blame these failures on inexperience — an argument that years of experi-ence tends to undermine. A novice can learn from his mistakes. Obama apparently doesn’t view these outcomes as mistaken. So what explains his positive preference for ambivalence?

First, there is the political context of Obama’s 2008 election campaign. Since George W. Bush embraced

democracy promotion, Obama would devalue it. Since Bush called out enemies, Obama would cul-tivate them. But the return to nuance turned out to be remark-ably superficial. Did Bush’s deci-siveness really discredit the idea of decisiveness itself? Events in the Middle East have forced the Obama administration to gradually aban-don its philosophy of Bush nega-tion, but the vestiges of that view have slowed an effective response at every stage.

A second explanation concerns Obama’s leadership style. He still acts the part of a college profes-sor who has unlimited time to sift and debate his options, as though extended deliberation were a virtue and indecision had no cost. But changes in the Middle East are

demonstrating how difficult it is to conduct a seminar during a hurri-cane. Hesitance precludes options.

Third, the administration’s national security team does little to challenge Obama’s predisposi-tion toward vacillation. Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden is, to put it kindly, a quirky foreign policy thinker with a history of getting large strategic issues wrong. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is focused on the war in Afghanistan, making him natu-rally resistant to American involve-ment elsewhere. Hillary Clinton has shown flashes of resolve, but the daily task of any secretary of state is to manage the status quo.

Finally, on foreign policy issues Obama seems to have drunk deeply at the well of academic liberalism. In the immediate aftermath of the Green Revolution in 2009, he said, “It’s not productive given the his-tory of U.S.-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling, the U.S. presi-dent meddling in Iranian elections.” Obama was arguing that Ameri-can support would somehow stain or delegitimize Iranian democratic aspirations — even as protesters were appealing for our help. This sounds more like the buzz of the faculty lounge than the leadership of an American president charged with defending and advancing his-

tory’s noblest ideals.Some mix of these factors has

combined to render the Obama administration blind to the promise of our times. Ending tyranny in the traditional centers of Arab cultural influence — Baghdad, Cairo and Damascus — would be a transfor-mation akin to the fall of the Berlin Wall. It would demonstrate the exhaustion of authoritarianism in the Arab world and open the pos-sibility of more successful, hopeful societies in the region. This trans-formation involves considerable risks. But those risks are magnified by an administration that refuses to take risks — willing to speak or act only when it becomes obvious that silence and inertia will bring disaster.

Now the Arab revolt has led to a predictable counterreaction — the attempt by regimes such as Libya and Syria to prove the efficacy of brutality. Their success would undermine American interests for decades. Presidential administra-tions don’t get to choose their his-torical challenges. But they can firmly take a side.

Obama’s ‘serial indecision’ damages American interests

MICHAELGERSON

Ending tyranny in the traditional centers of Arab cultural influence — Baghdad, Cairo and Damascus — would be a transformation akin

to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Greenhouse gasIt’s risky to predict what the

U.S. Supreme Court will do, but a broad consensus in the media recently concluded justices are likely to dismiss a case brought by California and five other states seeking to use “public nuisance” lawsuits to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. That would be the proper decision.

The issue is which arm of gov-ernment is appropriate for the task. Questions by several jus-tices as the case was argued “sig-naled” that the court will throw out the lawsuit because the issue is too complex and unwieldy to be handled by a single judge, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The high court isn’t consider-ing whether emissions should be regulated, or to what extent, only whether states can use pub-lic-nuisance lawsuits to do so.

We agree with many scientific experts who question whether greenhouse gases pose a danger that warrants government intervention.

A decision is expected by June.The case pits the states against

utility companies and the Obama administration, which maintains that the federal Environmental Protection Agency is the appro-priate regulatory body.

Justices appeared receptive to that argument. “Asking a court to set standards for emissions sounds like the kind of thing that EPA does,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said.

Setting and enforcing detailed regulations is a political and administrative process, not a matter for judges. Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe, who believes manmade greenhouse

gas emissions contribute to global warming, is among those calling for judicial restraint.

“Congress, through the Clean Air Act and other measures, has empowered the EPA to regu-late greenhouse gases, and that agency has begun to do so,” Tribe recently wrote. “The courts should reject the political and administrative roles that would be thrust upon them by litigants dissatisfied with Congress’ deci-sion to entrust the EPA with this challenging mission.”

On this we agree. If the court also agrees, then this political issue can be resolved where it should be, in Congress. And we hope new Republican control of the House, which seeks to trim the EPA’s authority on green-house gases, can prevail.

Obama: New security team ‘absolutely critical’ for nation’s safetyWASHINGTON (AP) — The

reshuffled national security team President Barack Obama introduced Thursday will be charged with fi ghting not only the overseas war in Afghan-istan but also budget battles on the home front over Pen-tagon spending that has bal-looned into a fat target for def-icit hawks.

His own re-election campaign approaching, Obama turned to a cast of familiar and respected officials for the most sweep-ing reworking of his national security team since the open-ing weeks of his presidency. He invoked the political upheaval and violence roiling the Middle East, the nearly 10-year-old Afghan war and the hard cost-cutting decisions ahead as the country tries to reduce its crushing debt.

“Given the pivotal period that we’re entering, I felt that it was absolutely critical that we had this team in place so that we can stay focused on our mis-sions, maintain our momentum and keep our nation secure,” Obama said at the White House.

Robert Gates when Gates makes his long-planned exit this summer. In remarks intro-ducing the Cabinet and Afghan war leaders, Obama also bade farewell to Gates after a tenure begun more than four years ago under President George W. Bush.

Gen. David Petraeus, the high-

profi le commander of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, will replace Panetta at the CIA in the fall, after helping to manage the fi rst steps of a drawdown of U.S. troops in Afghanistan over the summer.

Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John Allen will succeed Petraeus as the top commander in Afghan-

istan, and seasoned diplomat Ryan Crocker will take over as ambassador there. The new team in Kabul will manage the planned shift toward a back-seat role for the United States and its NATO partners, as Afghan security forces gradu-ally assume responsibility. Both Allen and Crocker have experi-

ence with a similar transition in Iraq, and with the effort there to broker deals with former mili-tants and political rivals that U.S. offi cials want to mirror in Afghanistan.

“These are the leaders that I’ve chosen to help guide us through the difficult days ahead,” Obama said in the White House East Room with Gates, Panetta, Petraeus and other top offi cials by his side.

There are no new names among the group — all are current or former government offi cials with long resumes in Washington or in battle zones — and the long-pending reorga-nization is less a shake-up than a rearrangement of a team the White House credits with an orderly winding down of the Iraq war and the troop buildup in Afghanistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Senior NATO offi-cers said they have picked up intelligence suggesting that Afghan insurgents are planning a spate of violent attacks across the nation in the next several days.

The offi cers said today that the militants want to dem-onstrate they remain a pow-erful force despite setbacks they suffered under heavy pressure from tens of thou-sands of Afghan and NATO troops during the past year.

They said that in the past couple of days, the coalition has collected credible and specific information about planned attacks by the Tali-ban and the al-Qaida-linked Haqqani network. They expect more will be staged in the east because the har-vest of opium poppies is under way in the south and southwest.

The two offi cers spoke on condition of anonymity to dis-cuss sensitive intelligence.

ONE MORE RIDENASA fuels Endeavour for last launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Just a few hours from liftoff, NASA fueled space shut-tle Endeavour for one last ride into orbit today as hundreds of thousands of visitors began to converge on the coast for prime viewing spots.

The launch team began load-ing more than a half-million gallons of fuel into Endeavour at dawn, moments after Prince William and Kate Middle-ton exchanged wedding vows across the ocean in London. Three hours later, the tank was full and NASA was keep-ing a close watch on a nearby storm.

Forecasters put the odds of acceptable weather at 70 percent.

Commanding Endeavour on NASA’s next-to-last shut-tle fl ight is Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, who is married to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. She planned to watch the launch from Ken-nedy Space Center. Giffords was shot in the head in Janu-ary and left rehab in Houston behind to attend the afternoon liftoff.

“Gabrielle is just as excited as all of you!” her staff said in a Twitter update late Thursday.

She’s being accompanied by her husband’s identical twin, Scott, also a space shuttle commander.

“Ready if replacement is required,” Scott joked in a tweet.

President Barack Obama also will attend with his wife and two daughters — the fi rst time in NASA history that a sitting president and his family will have witnessed a launch.

A storm pushed through the area after daybreak, but NASA expected it to be gone by launch time at 3:47 p.m. Low clouds and stiff crosswind, however, remained a concern. Launch controllers quickly resolved a minor shuttle problem: ele-vated pressure in a fuel tank for on-board thrusters.

Endeavour is bound for the International Space Station.

For its last hurrah, it’s car-rying one of the most expen-sive payloads in NASA’s 30-year shuttle history: a $2 billion par-ticle physics detector that will seek out antimatter and dark energy across the universe.

Kelly and his all-male crew — all six of them space veter-ans — saw their families for the last time, face to face, Thurs-day. Four of them went for a 3-mile early morning run on the beach.

On Thursday night, the astro-nauts watched the 2000 film “The Patriot” together. “Bond-ing before a big day,” pilot Greg-ory Johnson said in a Twitter update.

As the sun rose, recreational vehicles already lined the Banana River to the south, with a wide open view of the launch site.

As many as 750,000 people were expected to crowd nearby coastal communities.

The space center itself was bracing for 45,000 guests, including more than three dozen members of Congress, at least two former NASA administrators, and a score of high-level academic and space industry offi cials.

WikiLeaks suspectto be housedwith other inmates

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — The Army private accused of passing classifi ed documents to WikiLeaks was cleared Thursday to live along-side other inmates at a Kansas military prison, a dra-matic change from his pre-vious quarters in a Virginia Marine Corps brig where he spent 23 hours a day alone in his cell.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning passed the lengthy physical and psychi-atric evaluation given to new inmates at the Fort Leaven-worth prison .

Q: My mom resides in Ohio, and I live in another state. My half-brother relocated to Ohio and has pretty much taken control of everything regard-ing our mother. He is a joint member on all of her bank-ing accounts and is the only sibling who knows anything about her fi nancial status. Our mom has never discussed any-thing regarding fi nances with any other sibling. She does say that she has a will and every-thing she owns will be evenly

divided among all her chil-dren. Since none of the other siblings know any-thing

about her fi nances, what’s to keep our half brother from hiding her assets from us? — Reader in Virginia

A: The quick answer to your final sentence is noth-ing! If your mother trusts your brother and he has access to all these things, there is no way in the world that leaks can be completely plugged.

What would be appropriate is for you and your brother and sisters to get together with your mother and discuss the will. You say you are in a dif-ferent state. I am confident that you don’t have to have a passport to go visit your mother. It should be an eyeball affair and someone should act like a spokesman for the four of you, suggesting that these possibilities wish to be obvi-ated and a situation of trust to be established. In order to accomplish that, your first order is your mother’s wishes; they have to be on the table. If she wishes to run the whole thing through your brother, it is her right, assuming that she is in command of her faculties. While the will might call for everything to be divided and of course, much of that may be dissipated in your mothers care. I am wondering why sud-denly this guy moved back? It raises a lot of questions, and you’re not going to settle it in my opinion unless you go eye-ball to eyeball. Understand, your mother might tell you to butt out.

NEW ORLEANS (AP)— Hancock Holding Co.’s proposed buyout of its longtime Gulf Coast bank-ing rival, Whitney Holding Corp., will be judged today by shareholders of both companies.

Separate shareholder meetings are scheduled to decide whether to go along with Hancock’s $1.5 billion stock-for-stock deal to acquire Whitney.

Both groups have to approve.

The companies also are awaiting federal banking approval. Hancock hopes to close the acquisition during the current fi scal quarter.

The combined bank will have about $20 billion in assets and about $16 bil-lion in total deposits.

CRUDE COSTS

Oil climbs back to $113 a barrelon weaker dollar, Syria, LibyaBy The Associated Press

Oil prices climbed back to near $113 a barrel today as a weaker dollar made crude more attractive to investors with other currencies and the conflicts in Libya and Syria raised risk premiums.

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for June delivery was up 40 cents at $113.26 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mer-cantile Exchange.

The contract added 10 cents to settle at $112.86 Thursday and reached $113.97 during the session, the highest since Sep-tember, 2008.

In London, Brent crude for June delivery was up 44 cents to $125.46 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Investors have been looking for signs that this year’s surge in energy costs and a slow-ing U.S. economy will start to undermine consumer demand.

U.S. gross domestic product grew an annualized 1.8 per-cent in the fi rst quarter, down from 3.1 percent growth in the fourth quarter.

“Energy prices are now clearly in territory where we should start to see demand destruction set in,” said Edward

Meir from MF Global in New York.

While U.S. gasoline sup-plies fell last week for a third consecutive week, a down-ward revision by the Energy Department’s Energy Informa-tion Administration of U.S. oil demand in February was likely due to softer demand for gaso-line, analysts said.

Climbing prices are likely cooling appetite for gasoline, an argument “against a fur-ther rise of the oil price,” said a report from Commerzbank in Frankfurt. “But in light of the fi ghting in Libya, the unrest in the Middle East and the weak-ness of the U.S. dollar, the oil price remains well-supported, and so we do not expect it to fall steeply, either.”

Syrian security forces opened fi re on a demonstration today in the coastal city of Latakia — the heartland of the ruling elite — wounding at least fi ve people.

Judge OKs $680M settlementfor USDA, Indian farmers

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has approved a $680 million settlement between the Agriculture Department and American Indian farmers who say they were denied loans because of discrimination.

The two sides agreed on the deal last year subject to court approval. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan approved the terms Thursday.

Individuals who can prove discrimination could receive up to $250,000 from the gov-ernment. The agreement also includes $80 million in farm debt forgiveness for the Indian plaintiffs and a series of initia-tives to try and alleviate racism against American Indians and other minorities in rural farm loan offi ces.

The lawsuit, named after George and Marilyn Keepsea-gle of Fort Yates, N.D., was fi led in 1999 and contends Indian

farmers and ranchers lost hundreds of millions of dollars over several decades because they were denied USDA loans that instead went to their white neighbors. The government settled a similar lawsuit fi led by black farmers more than a decade ago and has offered to settle other suits brought against USDA by Hispanic and women farmers.

President Barack Obama said the settlement was “yet another important step for-ward in addressing an unfor-tunate chapter in USDA’s civil rights history.”

Obama praised the roles played by Agriculture Secre-tary Tom Vilsack and Attorney General Eric Holder in reach-ing the settlement.

Due to the terms of the set-tlement, the American Indian money would not need legisla-tive action to be awarded.

and neighborhoods pulver-ized by the nation’s deadliest tornado outbreak in nearly four decades, survivors were left trying to figure out how to put their lives back together.

At least 297 were killed across six states in Wednes-day’s outbreak.

President Barack Obama planned a trip to Tuscaloosa today to view storm damage and meet Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley. Late Thurs-day, Obama signed a disaster declaration to provide fed-eral aid to those who seek it.

“He just needs to do some-thing,” Chris Travis said about the president as he smoked a cigarette at dawn today, looking around an intersection of a battered Tuscaloosa neighborhood.

Travis spent the night with his aunt and uncle, whose home might be salvageable despite damage. He said it was spooky in the dark, quiet neighborhood with just the birds and squirrels and occa-sional flashing of car lights.

“Man, it was scary. I was shaking all night. Smoked a pack of cigarettes back to back,” he said.

Those who took shelter as the storms descended trickled back to their homes Thursday. They struggled with no electricity and little

help from stretched-thin law enforcement. And they were frustrated by the near-con-stant presence of gawkers.

“It’s just devastation. I’ve never seen this,“ said Sen. Richard Shelby during a visit to Tuscaloosa. ”This is the worst tornado devastation I’ve ever seen.”

The storms did the brunt of their damage in Alabama. More than two-thirds of the victims lived there, and large cities bore the scars of half-mile-wide twisters.

As many as a million homes and businesses there were without power, and Bentley said 2,000 National Guard troops had been activated to help. The governors of Mis-sissippi and Georgia also issued emergency declara-tions for parts of their states.

“We can’t control when or where a terrible storm may strike, but we can con-trol how we respond to it,” Obama said.

The storms seemed to hone in on populated areas by hugging the interstate high-ways and obliterating neigh-borhoods and even entire towns from Tuscaloosa to Bristol, Va.

Concord, a small town out-side Birmingham, was so devastated that authorities closed it down to keep out rubberneckers. Randy Guy-ton’s family, which lived in a stately home at the base of a hill in the center of Con-cord, rushed to the basement garage, piled into a Honda

Ridgeline and listened to the twister devour the house.

“The whole house caved in on top of that car,” he said. “Other than my boy scream-ing to the Lord to save us, being in that car is what saved us.”

Alabama emergency man-agement officials early today said the state had 210 con-firmed deaths. There were 33 deaths in Mississippi, 33 in Tennessee, 15 in Georgia, five in Virginia and one in Ken-tucky. Hundreds if not thou-sands of people were injured — 800 in Tuscaloosa alone.

The loss of life is the great-est from an outbreak of U.S. tornadoes since April 1974, when the weather service said 315 people were killed by a storm that swept 13 Southern and Midwestern states.

Some of the worst damage was in Tuscaloosa, a city of more than 83,000 that is home to the University of Alabama. The storms destroyed the city’s emer-gency management center, so the school’s Bryant-Denny Stadium was turned into a makeshift one. School offi-cials said two students were killed, though they did not say how they died. Finals were canceled and com-mencement was postponed.

Shaylyndrea Jones, 22, had expected to graduate from the University of Alabama next weekend with a degree in sports science. Instead, she spent Thursday moving

out of her ruined apartment, where she rode out the storm huddled in a hallway. But graduation suddenly isn’t so important — she’s just thankful she and her room-mates survived the night.

“It was the scariest thing I’ve been through,“ she said.

Police used bullhorns to tell people not to cross the tape to a neighborhood they were searching. On the other side, people were walking over glass, through pools of water, endless piles of debris and smashed cars. The city imposed a 10 p.m. curfew for Thursday and an 8 p.m. limit for tonight.

Search and rescue teams fanned out to dig through the rubble of devastated commu-nities that bore eerie similar-ities to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when town after town lay flattened for nearly 90 miles. Authorities in Concord and elsewhere even painted the same “X” symbols they did in New Orleans to mark which homes they searched and how many survivors were found.

In Phil Campbell, a town of 1,000 in northwest Ala-bama where 26 people died, the grocery store, gas sta-tions and medical clinic were destroyed.

“We’ve lost everything. Let’s just say it like it is,” Mayor Jerry Mays said. “I’m afraid we might have some suicides because of this.”

In Mississippi, Smithville takes brunt of horrific stormBy Holbrook MohrThe Associated Press

SMITHVILLE — Survivors picked through rubble Thurs-day in Smithville, a northeast-ern Mississippi town that was mostly flattened by violent storms that roared through the South a day earlier.

“You can’t just bring in some generators and fix something like this. You can’t just put up a tarp. There’s nothing left,“ Pastor Wes White said as he sifted through what was left of Smithville Baptist Church.

Mississippi’s death toll is at least 33 from this week’s vio-lent storms. Authorities say 32 people were killed Wednesday and one was killed Tuesday.

There were 14 deaths from Smithville alone. The town of 900, in Monroe County, was the hardest-hit in the state.

The storms also left wide swaths of destruction in Kemper and Clarke counties in east central Mississippi, near the Alabama line.

Thousands of structures are damaged across the state. Gov. Haley Barbour said Thursday he’s asking President Barack Obama for a federal disaster declaration all of Mississippi.

Barbour said state and local emergency agencies con-tinue assessing damage in many counties, and National Guard troops are on duty in Smithville.

In Alabama, tornadoes ripped through Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, but Missis-sippi’s larger population cen-ters were not hit. At a news conference in Jackson, Bar-bour said he’s concerned about the deaths, injuries and damage in Mississippi.

“We are blessed in the fact that it could’ve been a lot worse,“ Barbour said.

Smithville was in ruins.

Pieces of tin were wrapped high around the legs of a blue water tower. The Piggly Wiggly grocery store was gutted, with wires and insulation dangling from the ceiling. In one part of town, not a structure was left standing as far as the eye could see. The police station, the post office, city hall and an industrial park with several furniture manufacturing facili-ties were among the dozens of structures ripped apart. Neigh-borhoods resembled the Mis-sissippi coast after Hurricane Katrina.

White said a group of res-idents from a nearby trailer park knocked on the Smith-

ville Baptist Church door just before the storm hit, asking for shelter. They went to a sturdy section of the red brick church where they hung onto one another and anything they could grab “like a mass of humanity” as the building disintegrated, he said.

The red Jeep Wrangler that some of mobile home residents drove to the church was left on its side inside the church office. The second story was gone. Walls were collapsed. Entire sections of the church were flattened, but the choir robes remained in place.

“Our choir robes are OK,“ the pastor shouted Thursday

when he saw them. ”They’re perfectly white.”

Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Ray Hall said search and rescue missions could continue in Smithville. Cars and structures were painted with orange symbols to mark the ones that had already been searched and the ones where bodies were found.

Mississippi Public Service Commissioner Brandon Pres-ley said one potential compli-cation is the fickle nature of power grids.

In addition to the 14 deaths and 40 injuries in Monroe County, authorities reported

four deaths and 30 injuries in Clarke County; three deaths each in Chickasaw and Kemper counties; two deaths in Jasper County; and one death each in Choctaw, Lafayette, Mar-shall, Pike, Smith, Webster and Yazoo counties.

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said more than 120 people were injured. Damage was reported in 50 counties.

Clarke County Sheriff Todd Kemp said the tornado left destruction from the west end of the county to the Ala-bama state line. Four people were killed when the storm destroyed a large mobile

home where 19 nearby resi-dents sought shelter. Ten were injured.

Tony Fleming, president of the Clarke County board of supervisors, said it might take a week to assess damage.

In Kemper County, sisters Florrie Green and Maxine McDonald, and their sister-in-law Johnnie Green, all died in a mobile home. All were in their 80s.

On Thursday, 58-year-old Smithville resident Kenny Long and his brother Paul dragged the headstone of their youngest brother back to its perch in Smithville Cemetery. The headstones of Kenny Long’s daughter and grand-daughter had also pulled from their resting sites not far from a massive magnolia tree that was stripped of branches and leaves. The cemetery was lit-tered with debris and pieces of houses from a nearby neighborhood.

Tombstones dating to the 1800s, including some of Civil War soldiers, lay broken on the ground. His relatives’ tomb-stones remained intact.

“Think of the people that don’t live in Smithville. They don’t even know their families’ headstones are gone,” Kenny Long said.

Smithville has no storm shel-ter. Long said other nearby communities have at least one community storm shelter. In an era when technology gives advance warning of approach-ing storms, it makes no sense that people have nowhere to go even when they know they’re in danger, Long said.

“You have warnings, but where do you go?” he asked.

White, the pastor of Smith-ville Baptist, said the church plans to have a service in a tent Sunday with a sermon themed “Resurrection in life.”

National Civilian Commu-nity Corps’s Vicksburg-based Southern Region campus are going door-to-door with Vicksburg police escorts in such neighborhoods as Kings, Ford, Waltersville and those south of town including areas around LeTourneau.

Mayor Paul Winfield made the announcement to report-ers at City Front a few yards from the painted measuring stick showing historic high-water marks. Once there, they’ll collect names and other pertinent information from people in advance of any evacuation.

“We will try to stay ahead of this thing,” Winfield said as city officials relayed gen-eral information on flood-prone areas and urged people to take their own precautions.

The 2008 flood displaced 145 people from 101 homes inside the city, many of them from the three north Vicks-burg subdivisions along North Washington Street. Post-flood, a few homes were raised, but several couldn’t be reconnected to utilities

or receive city building per-mits due to damage exceed-ing 50 percent of the total home value. In 2009, home-owners who returned did so after waiving off all future claims for disaster assis-tance. Of about 350 parcels in the three subdivisions, the city maintains 120 water and gas connections there. The number excludes Walters-ville Estates, built after the 1973 floods.

Vicksburg Emergency Management Director Anna Booth said this morning that Waltersville Estates, the largest of Vicksburg Housing Authority’s complexes, is not expected to take on water.

“The information from the Corps indicates it is not in the projected flood,” she said.

The river stood at 42.4 feet this morning, up 1.1 feet since Thursday. It’s fore-casted to crest at 53.5 feet on May 18, the highest since the Great Flood of 1927. Rain forecast in southern Arkan-sas through the Ohio Valley late Sunday and Monday will determine how the crest might change, the National Weather Service said.

Vicksburg’s five casinos remain open, though the Mis-sissippi Gaming Commission

is forming a “game plan” for early next week similar to that in effect for casinos closed Thursday in Tunica, executive director Larry Gregory said.

Tunica casinos are clos-ing over a period of days depending on how stages affect access to each casino. Casinos there employ about 10,000 people. Vicksburg casi-nos and hotels emplo 2,150.

“My eyes are looking south,” Gregory said Thurs-day. “We will be going according to river stage. If it affects the parking lot, we’ll clear the assets and people off property.”

Public safety, fire protection and security when water cuts access to Eagle Lake, Alber-marle and Chotard communi-ties were to be key topics as officials met with residents at Eagle Lake Volunteer Fire Station this morning.

Another was the health of the levee system, as the Corps of Engineers has ramped up work to stop ero-sion from below to the Buck Chute levee near Eagle Lake.

Engineers and the Board of Mississippi Levee Commis-sioners have worked to build a 500-foot berm to enclose sand and other materials

that have seeped in over time, creating sand boils in the earthen levee that pro-tects the 800 residents.

A second phase of the plan involves adding water to Eagle Lake via the Muddy Bayou Control Structure, which the Corps began and stopped during the river’s earlier rise in March.

This time, the lake will be filled to 90 feet to offset pres-sure on the levee by the high riverside water level, the Corps said Thursday. Eagle Lake was at 77.6 feet Thurs-day. Ideal stage is 76.9 feet, the Corps says.

“It will reduce pressure on the head of the levee itself,” said Robert Simrall, chief of the Water Control Divi-sion for the Corps’ Vicksburg District.

Levees in Louisiana will be sandbagged starting Monday, said Reynold Minsky, presi-dent of the Fifth Louisiana Levee District.

All vehicular traffic on the levees will be stopped, with violators subject to citations by sheriff’s departments in East Carroll, Madison and Tensas parishes, as well as agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Louisiana

State Police, Minsky said.Sand boils created by water

pressure have been an issue in past floods. About 75,000 sandbags were used by the District last year to con-trol about 50 sand boils at the height of the 2008 flood. Minsky is confident in the integrity of the 260-mile levee in northeast Louisiana, though the boils remain.

“There’s no way to know where the sand boils are going to be,” Minsky said.

Mississippi 465 will close when the river reaches 46.5 feet in Vicksburg. The main-line levee system will close to the general public when the river reaches 55 feet in Greenville. The level read 49.7 feet, up a foot and a half in 24 hours.

At Steele Bayou, land side water level was at 88.4 feet this morning, up four-tenths of a foot from Wednesday, and the river side was 90 feet, up a tenth of a foot. The gates will remain closed until the river side stage is lower than the level in the 4,093-square-mile Yazoo Backwater Area. A 103-foot crest is expected on the river side around May 18. The land side crest is expected to reach 93.5 feet by June 10.

to guarantee financial sup-port or commit to a certain number of school field trips. “It’s just, if they build it, will we go,” Swinford said.

District 4 Trustee Joe Loviza said that at the risk of setting a precedent in recom-mending one business over another, the educational ben-efits an IMAX theater offers would be good for the schools and the community.

Mississippi has no IMAX theater, the closest being in Baton Rouge. Other locations include New Orleans, Bossier City and Memphis.

Principals at the meeting voiced approval.

“These people have really done their homework,” Sher-man Avenue Elementary School principal Ray Hume

said of Wiener and mall man-agers. “So many times we have traveled to Jackson to do things we couldn’t get here in Vicksburg.”

The IMAX is just one part of the plan the mall owners have for improving the mall’s offerings, including what they have already done to open the mall for schools to showcase events and pro-grams, he said.

Trustees voted 5-0 in favor, authorizing Swinford to draft the letter of support.

The board also hosted and recognized students from three schools who have recently won or competed in state competitions, includ-ing Warren Central High School percussionists and a precision machinist, Vicks-burg High School varsity basketball and Vicksburg Junior High School Emerald Singers.

and could become drop-outs,” Swinford said. “We’re really treating this program and the budget in a way that it will target special needs children.”

Supplemental money to fund the program, which trustees approved in Octo-ber, is hoped to come from a grant and some federal sources, Swinford said.

Swinford won board approval for her APT initia-tive in October, and adminis-trators have identified about 500 students to participate in the coming school year.

She said in an interview after the board’s regular meeting that an assigned period of “sustained silent reading” — an hour to an hour and a half daily — would be required in all classes in the coming year.

“Our target, our big focus, is literacy,” Swinford said.

Projecting revenues total-ling $79 million, an increase over the $74.4 of the cur-rent school year, the budget assumes a more generous state contribution than dis-trict officials began with last year, said McClung. A reduc-

tion of 15 percent from state funding was assumed last year, he said. In actuality, it worked out to be about 9 per-cent, he said.

“We are exceeding our revenue by $3.8 million,” McClung told trustees, noting the discrepancy between proposed revenues and spending. “That differ-ence is made up of carry-over that we bring forward from this year to the next.”

The budget provides for 1,278 employees, 669 cer-tified or licensed and 609 non-licensed, compared to 673 licensed and 601 non-li-censed, for a total of 1,274 that were included in the 2010-2011 budget.

The district has eliminated both licensed and non-li-censed positions over the last several years, but solely through retirements and attrition and not through layoffs.

Salary and benefits com-prise just under 72 percent of expenditures, just slightly higher than the current year.

At least one member of the public attended the hearing in addition to several school officials, but did not offer comments or ask questions.

Trustees will vote to adopt the budget at noon on May 5.

SIdELINESBraves’ Lowearrested for DUI

ATLANTA (AP) — Braves pitcher Derek Lowe was charged with drunken driving, another blow to a team already dealing with allega-tions that pitching coach Roger McDowell spewed homophobic comments before a game in San Francisco last weekend.

Gordy Wright, a spokes-man for the Georgia State Patrol, said a trooper stopped Lowe’s vehicle about 10 p.m. Thursday on an Atlanta street. The trooper detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage and administered a field sobriety test, which re-sulted in Lowe’s arrest.

The 37-year-old was charged with DUI, reck-less driving and improper lane change, Wright said.

The Braves already were investigating allegations against McDowell, who was accused of making crude comments, sexual gestures and threatened to knock out a fan’s teeth with a bat.

McDowell issued an apology in a release on Thursday. Major League Baseball is awaiting the results of the Braves’ in-vestigation before deter-mining whether to take action.

Eagles eliminatedby Heidelberg in 3By Ernest Bowkerebowker@vicksburgpost.com

HEIDELBERG — For three weeks, the Porters Chapel Eagles lived life on the edge. In two consecutive best-of-three series, they not only took all three games to win but often needed a last-ditch effort to do so.

That ride ended abruptly on Thursday night.

Heidelberg Academy won Game 2 of its second-round MAIS Class A playoff series against PCA, 8-5, then took Game 3 by a 7-3 score. The doubleheader sweep sent Heidelberg (29-3) on to next week’s South State champi-

onship series against Trin-ity, while the Eagles’ season ended with a 19-9 record.

“It (Game 2) got away from us and we were all down. We just thought we would come back in Game 3 and win that one, and that didn’t happen either,” PCA short-stop Montana McDaniel said. “We never got the spark. We never got that one hit we needed to be contagious.”

When they analyze this series, it will be difficult for the Eagles to point blame at anyone but themselves

for Thursday’s losses. They committed four errors in the first inning of Game 2, lead-ing to three unearned runs, and fell behind 5-0 after three

Late snag preventsBillups’ hiring at WC By Jeff Byrdjbyrd@vicksburgpost.com

Warren Central has a new offensive coordinator for its football team. It still does not have a boys basketball coach.

In a surprise move, Vicks-burg Warren School District superintendent Dr. Elizabeth D. Swinford did not present to the Board of Trustees at Thursday’s monthly meet-ing the recommendation to approve the hiring of former Lanier High School coach Thomas Billups. Billups had been put on the board’s agenda for a vote Thursday.

Billups was the recom-mended choice of a search

committee formed by Warren Cen-tral principal Rodney G. Smith. Swin-ford was in favor of the committee’s

choice, but a salary issue

arose Thursday afternoon.“It was a last minute thing,

MSU tackleSherrod ispicked byGreen Bay

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers didn’t seem like a team with any glaring needs going into the draft, so the Super Bowl champions made a big addi-tion to their long-term pro-tection plan for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Green Bay beefed up its offensive line with the final pick in Thurs-day night’s first round, taking Mis-sissippi State tackle Derek Sherrod. He said he can’t wait to meet Rodgers — and can’t wait to prove he can help keep the quarterback upright on the field.

“I’m basically there to protect him,” Sherrod said. “That’s what I do.”

With the selection of the 6-5, 321-pound Sherrod, the Packers now have used their first-round pick on an offen-sive tackle in back-to-back drafts. Green Bay took Iowa’s Bryan Bulaga last year.

Clearly, the Packers have made keeping Rodgers safe a priority.

“You like to keep him safe,” Packers general manager Ted Thompson said. “You certainly do.”

Although Sherrod played left tackle in college, Thomp-son wouldn’t commit to having him play on that side in the pros.

“Where he’s going to play, I don’t know, but I know this: You can never have too many big men,” Thompson said. “The more run blockers, the more pass blockers we have, the better off we do.”

According to a scouting report distributed by the Packers, Sherrod started 36 of 47 career games at left tackle for the Bulldogs. He was a first-team All-South-eastern Conference selection last season.

Mississippi State was second in the SEC and 16th in the nation with an aver-age of 214.85 yards rush-ing per game last season, according to the report, and Sherrod did not allow any of the 23 sacks given up by the Bulldogs’ offensive line last

Saints take Jordan, trade up for IngramMETAIRIE, La. (AP) —

The New Orleans Saints weren’t satisfied when they addressed one huge need by taking California defen-sive end Cameron Jordan with the 24th pick in the NFL draft. They traded back into the first round and grabbed Alabama running back Mark Ingram at No. 28.

General manager Mickey Loomis said both players, who have strong NFL blood-lines, were among their top four targets.

“We feel that” the stars were aligned, Loomis said. “It remains to be seen if we were right. We’ll have to wait a few years to judge that, but we certainly feel good about this draft.”

The Saints traded their first-round pick in the 2012 draft and their second-round pick this year to the New England Patriots to take Ingram. He rushed for 1,658 yards in 2009, won the Heisman Trophy and led Alabama to the national championship.

Ingram, the son of former NFL standout Mark Ingram Sr., did not match those numbers last season. He injured his left knee in pre-season practice, underwent arthroscopic surgery and missed the first two games, finishing with 875 yards on 158 carries.

Still, he was the first run-ning back taken.

The Saints finished 28th in the NFL in rushing last year, averaging just 94.9 yards while being decimated by injuries. Undrafted rookie free agent Chris Ivory had a team-high 716 yards, and no one else rushed for 300.

Ivory, Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas, who led New Orleans in rushing in 2008 and 2009, all missed time.

“I knew they had liked my game,” Ingram said. “I’m excited that they traded up to come get me. They have a lot of great backs down there. I’m just going to go down there, work my butt and con-tribute to the team and help them win championships.”

Bush apparently doesn’t think there is room for him in what will be a crowded backfield in the Saints pass-first offense led by quar-terback Drew Brees. Bush tweeted “it’s been fun New Orleans,” an indication he does not expect to be back to collect the $11.8 million he is set to earn in what would be the final year of his contract.

New Orleans coach Sean Payton doesn’t necessarily see it that way.

“There’s a certain skill set Reggie has and there are things that he does that we

Lakers finish off Hornets with dominant winNEW ORLEANS (AP) —

Andrew Bynum used his massive frame to own the lane, Kobe Bryant made timely shots that silenced a hostile crowd, and the Los Angeles Lakers started to look a lot more like a team trying to win a third straight NBA title.

Bryant scored 22 of his 24 points in the first three quarters, then let his team-mates take over in a dom-inant 98-80 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Thursday night that wrapped up a first-round playoff series triumph for Los Angeles in six games.

The performance left coach Phil Jackson saying his current squad has the “potential to be as good as any team I’ve coached with the Lakers.”

He might have sounded silly saying that after Game 4, when Chris Paul’s triple-double helped the Hornets tie the series at two, but it’s not like championship Lakers teams have never started slow before.

They split their first four playoff games with Okla-homa City last season before winning that series 4-2 and moving on to even-tually win the franchise’s

16th NBA title. This time, they turned in convincing double-digit victories in the last two games.

“We’re good at making adjustments and learn-ing,” Bryant said. “So the more a series goes on, the more we learn. That comes from our coaching staff. That comes from us and the amount of experience we have, being able to pick teams apart the later we go in a series.”

The Lakers will face the Dallas Mavericks, who eliminated Portland in six games, in round two. Game 1 will be Monday at Staples

Center.The 7-foot, 285-pound

Bynum had 18 points and 12 rebounds, draw-ing groans from the New Orleans crowd with each of his eight offensive rebounds. Los Angeles had a 21-4 edge in second-chance points.

“Every time he got an offensive rebound, it was deflating,” Hornets coach Monty Williams said. “You don’t really realize how good he is until you face him in a series. Kobe’s Kobe, but I thought Bynum decided the series. He was that good.”

nfl draft

Panthers take Newton first overallNEW YORK (AP) — This

draft was no party.Between the boos raining

down on Commissioner Roger Goodell and the uncertainty created by a bitter labor battle, the NFL draft opened Thurs-day night lacking much of its usually festive atmosphere.

What it wasn’t missing was intrigue and surprises — at least after the Carolina Pan-thers made Cam Newton the first pick.

The Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner as expected went to the worst team in the league — and vowed to fix that immedi-ately. Newton led Auburn to an undefeated season and its first national championship since 1957.

“I’m ready to change this whole organization around, to go from worst to first,” he said. “Just being a Panther is the most special part about this.”

Before Newton, decked out in a Carolina cap and gray three-piece suit, took that familiar walk across the stage to shake the commissioner’s hand — a draft-day staple — Goodell had been hearing the displea-sure of fans worried that labor strife might interfere with the upcoming season.

Goodell was booed as he pre-pared to conduct a moment of silence for victims of the devastating storms that ripped through the South. He responded to their chants of “We want football!” by saying, “I hear you. So do I.”

The boos continued every time he stepped on stage for the early part of the first round, though they died down as the night went along. By the end, there was hardly a smattering of jeers.

Goodell smiled his way through it all, unfazed. Not even having to welcome a player suing the league could knock the commissioner off his game.

With the second pick, Denver took Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller, a plaintiff in the antitrust lawsuit filed by the players to block the lockout imposed by the owners.

“I’ve never had anything against Roger Goodell,” Miller

said. “I just want to make sure football continues to get played. When I walked across the stage, I was meeting the commissioner. That was it.”

With the third pick, Buffalo selected Alabama nose tackle Marcell Dareus, who gave Goodell a big hug. Of course, Dareus weighs 308 pounds, at least 100 more than Goodell.

“I wanted to give him a hug because I finally made it to the big dance,” Dareus said.

Cincinnati, perhaps call-ing the bluff of quarter-back Carson Palmer, who is demanding a trade, instead took the top receiver in this crop, A.J. Green of Georgia.

Arizona, also in need of a quarterback, selected the top cornerback available, Patrick

Peterson of LSU.The labor unrest led to spec-

ulation not many trades would be made Thursday. But just six picks in, Atlanta cut a mas-sive deal with Cleveland. The Falcons gave up five picks over the next two seasons, including this and next year’s first-rounders, and moved up from No. 27 to grab Alabama receiver Julio Jones — the fifth Southeastern Conference player in the first six.

In all, 10 SEC players were among the 32 first-round picks.

“We knew it was going to be an aggressive move and cost us,” Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. “As an organization we felt very strongly about the move for

a player who truly adds the explosive, urgent athleticism we’re looking for ...”

San Francisco chose defen-sive end Aldon Smith of Mis-souri to bolster a weak pass rush, then the second quar-terback was selected: Wash-ington’s Jake Locker, by the Tennessee Titans.

That began a small run on passers. After Dallas went for offensive tackle Tyron Smith of USC at No. 9, Jacksonville moved up six slots for Mis-souri’s Blaine Gabbert. The Jaguars sent their first-round pick and a second-rounder to the Washington Redskins.

Florida State quarter-back Christian Ponder was picked 12th, by the Minnesota Vikings.

season. He earned a bach-elor’s degree in business in August 2010, graduating with a 3.54 grade point average. Sherrod will wear No. 78 for the Packers.

In many ways, the Packers went into the draft looking like a team with few press-ing needs.

Even beyond winning the title last year, the Packers expect to bring back a wave of high-profile injured play-ers from last season, includ-ing running back Ryan Grant and tight end Jermichael Finley. Nearly a dozen open-ing-day starters finished last season on injured reserve.

But there were a few spe-cific areas Thompson might have been tempted to target.

One was the offensive line. The Packers took Bulaga last year with the intention of

making him their left tackle of the future. But Bulaga ended up filling in — and playing well — at right tackle after an injury to veteran Mark Tauscher last season.

Veteran Chad Clifton played well at left tackle for the Packers last year, but Green Bay needs a long-term replacement plan for him. It’s not clear whether that will be Sherrod or Bulaga, but now they at least have multiple options.

Sherrod said he was “very confident” he could play either tackle spot.

“We think he has the ver-satility, the athletic ability to play a number of spots,” Thompson said. “We’ll see how it works out. ... You never know how it’s going to work out, but he’s a good football player.”

value a lot,” Payton said before Bush’s tweet. Ingram “is a runner who I would say is a much different style. I wouldn’t even begin to look at how it will affect Reggie’s status with us. Reggie has been a big part of what we’ve done successfully offensively in the last five years.”

Even though Ingram did not put up huge numbers as a receiver out of the back-field at Alabama — unlike Bush — Payton said Ingram could help the passing game, too.

“One trait that is impres-sive is his ability to block

pressure,” Payton said. “He’s a physical back. He’s good in his protections.”

With Jordan, son of former NFL Pro Bowler Steve Jordan, the Saints are look-ing to bolster a lackluster pass rush. New Orleans fin-ished tied for 18th in the NFL in sacks last season and did not get consistent pres-sure from starting ends Will Smith (5.5 sacks) and Alex Brown (two sacks).

Smith also faces a likely four-game suspension at the start of the season for a vio-lation of the league’s drug policy that dates back to

2008.Jordan had 62 tackles, 12.5

stops for loss and 5.5 sacks while forcing three fumbles as a senior. He was a first-team All-Pac-10 selection last year. He started 32 games in his four-year career at California.

The Saints project the 6-foot-4, 287-pound Jordan to play on the left side, Brown’s spot.

“We thought he was going to go a little higher and were very nervous the last two picks before him” Saints director of college scout-ing Rick Reiprish said. “We

haven’t got a lot of rush off that left side. He’s got a little more height and length to him.”

Some analysts have said Jordan is a better fit for the 3-4 defense, not the 4-3 that Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams favors.

“I think I’m going to fit in fine,” Jordan said. “I adapt well. I get along with every-body. I know in the past they (the Saints) have been able to pin the ears back and get after the quarterback. As a defensive end what more can you ask for.”

ing adjourned. “As of now, we’re still without a coach yet. It has not been staffed. We’re still trying to work this out.”

Billups retired at Lanier after leading the Bulldogs to the Class 5A championship game in March. In 20 years at Lanier, Billups’ teams won eight state titles and played in 14 championship games.

Swinford hopes to bring the recommendation of Bil-lups to the board at the May 26 meeting. The coaching vacancy came about after former Warren Central coach Jesse Johnson was fired after a 9-17 season.

“He’s our top candidate,” Swinford said of Billups. “We interviewed seven candi-dates. We had a No. 1, a No. 2 and a No. 3.”

Swinford did not name the other two finalists.

The WC football pro-gram, meanwhile, welcomed another Morgan to the staff. Starkville High assistant coach Rob Morgan, a former Viking player, will join his brother Josh Morgan’s staff as the new offensive coordinator.

Rob Morgan was approved by a 4-1 vote, the lone nay coming from board member Jim Sturgis.

Rob Morgan was happy to be back at Warren Central.

“Really excited,” Morgan said. “Warren Central is a special place to me. I am hoping to do good things.”

For six years, Morgan was an assistant coach at Starkville. He was the Yellow Jackets’ quarterbacks coach for two years and the offen-sive coordinator for three.

“We ran a little bit of every-thing there,” Rob Morgan said. “One year we ran a two-back, another year it was a three-wide spread, and another year a three-wide with a tight end. We tried to mix it with the personnel we had.”

Morgan said he’ll do the same at WC.

“Whatever gives us the best opportunity to win,” Morgan said. “Our personnel will determine what direc-tion we will go in whether that’s being a running team or a throwing team, Or, if you want to label it, a spread or an I (backfield).”

Morgan said he’ll begin work at today’s practice.

“They started spring prac-tice this week,” Morgan said. “We’ll go from now until a May 13 jamboree at Yazoo City. One of the first things we have to address is the quarterback situation. We still have some playing base-ball, so we’ll just have to work around that.”

innings. Several baserunning mistakes sprinkled through-out the game also proved costly.

In Game 3, they managed only four hits against Heidel-berg ace Tyler Jones, who struck out eight and walked two. PCA only had four bas-erunners in the first four innings.

“We hadn’t really played good defense all year long. It’s really been our big crutch. You kind of knew at some point we weren’t going to be able to overcome it, and today was that day,” PCA coach Jerry Bourne said. “First of all, you tip your hat. (Heidelberg) did what they had to do to win this ballgame and the one before this. Their pitchers did what they had to do. But it hurts because we believe, and you’ll always believe, that we’re the better team and you don’t want to go home early when you believe you’re the better team.”

Heidelberg never trailed in either game. The closest PCA got in Game 2 was two runs, at 5-3 in the fourth inning and 6-4 in the fifth. Each time, the Rebels responded with enough offense to stay comfortably in front. James Holifield delivered an RBI single to make it 6-3, then Owen Tuminello and Austin Brashier had back-to-back RBI singles in the fifth inning to make it 8-4.

“Any time you get a lead on good teams, it’s better than starting from behind,” Heidelberg coach Jim Fries said. “You get two or three runs down and he can’t bunt and move runners and lose an out. I can. It puts him in a bind and puts me at an

advantage.”Heidelberg also escaped

trouble in Game 2 with a couple of alert defensive plays. With runners on second and third in the top of the sixth, McDaniel hit a line drive to third. Tuminello snagged it, then turned toward third and beat Richie Bufkin back to the bag for an inning-ending double play. In the seventh, Kawayne Gaston belted an apparent one-out triple to center but failed to touch second base and was called out on appeal.

Game 3 was just pure frus-tration for the Eagles. Heidel-berg scored single runs in each of the first four innings to creep out to a 4-1 lead, then blew it open with three runs in the fifth. The one-two knockout punch was a tapper back to the mound and a shot to the gap. Austin Wilson’s grounder was fielded by the pitcher Bufkin, who was unable to throw out Todd Robinson at home. Hunter Walters followed with a two-run double into the left field corner to make it 7-1.

PCA rallied to cut it to 7-3 in the seventh when Jarad Tompkins doubled and scored on an outfield error, but never could string enough hits together to make a serious push for the lead.

“When you lose the front end of a doubleheader it’s really hard to come back and win the back end, especially when they’ve got their No. 1 going,” Bourne said. “I’ve got to give our guys credit, though. It’s not like they weren’t trying. They were fighting, they were scrap-ping. But it seemed like the life was deflated out of us after the first game.”

Brown’s daughter sues tailors for capeThe Ohio makers of James Brown’s signature

Brown’s daughter faces his longtime tailors in a Cleveland area small claims court today. Deanna Brown Thomas said she sued Curtis and Marilyn Gibson as a last resort, after asking them repeat-edly to turn over a silver cape made for her fa-ther before he died in late 2006.

Thomas said she wants her father’s costumes for a museum and that she paid the Gibsons $7,000 for what they had.

Curtis Gibson maintains that Thomas never contacted him about the cape and says he was stunned that she decided to sue him. He said he planned to bring the cape to court.

Kate and William wed

LONDON (AP) — An ele-gant, tiara-bedecked Kate Mid-dleton swept down the aisle to marry Prince William at West-minster Abbey as fans packed the streets of London today, hoping to snatch a glimpse of a historic royal wedding expected to revitalize the Brit-ish monarchy.

As the future king and queen of England began their lives as husband and wife with the simple words “I will,” some 2 billion people across the globe were believed to have tuned in. The couple looked ner-vous but happy and recited their vows without stumbling before Archbishop of Canter-bury Rowan Williams.

A million well-wishers — as well as some protesters — fl ooded into central London, around Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and other landmarks. Crowds were up at dawn waving fl ags for tele-vision cameras under steely gray skies and cool temper-atures. Cheers erupted as huge television screens began broadcasting at Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park.

“Will, it’s not too late!” said one sign held aloft by an admirer dressed as a bride.

The biggest secret of the day — Middleton’s wedding gown — prompted swoons of admiration as she stepped out of a Rolls-Royce with her father. Against all odds, the sun emerged at that exact moment.

The ivory and white satin gown — with its low neck-line, high lace collar, long lacy sleeves and a train over 2-yards long — was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexan-der McQueen. Middleton’s hair was half-up, half-down and decorated with dramatic veil and a tiara on loan from Queen Elizabeth II.

Jennie Bond, a leading Brit-ish monarchy expert and royal wedding consultant for The Associated Press, called it a “fairy tale.”

“It’s a dream,” she said. “It is a beautiful laced soft look which is extremely elegant. She looked stunning.”

William wore the scarlet tunic of an Irish Guards offi -cer, sending a strong signal of support for the armed forces and reinforcing his new image as a dedicated military man.

Hours earlier, the couple received their fi rst royal wed-ding present from the queen: the titles duke and duchess of Cambridge.

Maid of honor Pippa Mid-dleton wore a simple column dress and naturally styled hair, while best man Prince Harry was dressed in formal

military attire. The flower girls, in cream dresses with full skirts and fl owers in their hair, walked down hand-in-hand with Pippa.

The iconic abbey was airy and calm, the long aisle lead-ing to the altar lined with maple and hornbeam trees as light streamed in through the high arched windows. The soft green trees framed the couple against the red carpet as they walked down the aisle.

Hours before the ceremony, plumage of Amazonian vari-ety fi lled the cavernous abbey as some 1,900 guests fi led in, the vast majority of women in

hats, some a full 2 feet across or high. Some looked like dinner plates, and one woman wore a bright red fascinator that resembled a fl ame lick-ing her cheek.

A BBC commentator noted there were some “very odd choices” walking through the abbey door.

Most men, however, looked elegant and suave in long tails, some highlighted by formal plaid pants and vests. Others wore military uniforms.

The queen, of course, wore a soft yellow hat and coat dress, just like the bookies had predicted.

All the details — the wed-ding dress, her hair, their titles, the romantic kiss on the balcony, the honeymoon — were fi nally being answered. But the biggest question won’t be resolved for years: Will this royal couple live happily ever after?

Will their union endure like that of William’s grandpar-ents — Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, now in its 64th year — or crumble in a spec-tacular and mortifying fashion like that of his own parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana?

Recent history augurs badly: The fi rst marriages of three of the queen’s four children ended in divorce. But William and Kate seem to glow with happiness in each other’s com-pany, and unlike Charles and Diana they’ve had eight years to fi gure out that they want to be together.

Still, the fate of their mar-riage depends on private mat-ters impossible for the public to gauge, since any wed-ding is fundamentally about two people. Will their lives together, starting with such high hopes, be blessed by good fortune, children, good health, productive work?

Much will depend on whether 28-year-old Wil-liam and 29-year-old Kate can summon the things every couple needs: patience, love, wit and wisdom. But they face the twin burdens of fame and scrutiny. Money, power, beauty — it can all go wrong if not carefully nurtured.

These are the thorny issues upon which the fate of the mon-archy rests, as the remarkable queen, now 85, inevitably ages and declines.

After the church ceremony, the royal-couple travels from the abbey to Buckingham Palace in an open-topped carriage for two parties, one hosted by the queen for 650 guests, and an evening dinner dance for 300 close friends.

Jazz Fest kicks o� today in New OrleansNEW ORLEANS (AP) —

Wyclef Jean, Cyndi Lauper, John Mellencamp, Lauryn Hill and Fantasia will make fi rst-time appearances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heri-tage Festival, joining a lineup of familiar acts for the 43rd annual tradition that opens today at a race track in this Mississippi River city.

“This is one of our broadest years, musically speaking,” said Quint Davis, producer of the festival that will run seven days, over the course of two weekends at the Fair Grounds Race Course. “We’ve got important people coming from all ends of the spectrum and for some of them they’re all new to jazz fest.”

Along with fresh faces, Davis said some of the festival’s perennial favorites will return to perform on the 12 stages set up around the track.

“Jimmy Buffett, the Nevilles, Jeff Beck, Irma Thomas, Bon Jovi, these are some of our favorite people and they’ll be back,” Davis said. “Gregg Allman returns, but this year he’ll be a different version of himself. He’s coming with his

blues band, a new project of his.”

Last year, musicians f r o m t h e Dominican Republic, Martinique

and Senegal performed

at the festival. This year, the spotlight is on Haiti, still recovering from a deadly Jan-uary earthquake. In addition

to performances by Jean, a Goodwill Ambassador to his homeland, fans can experi-ence Haitian rhythms from parading Rara bands, Konpa big-band dance music, tradi-tional drumming and popular contemporary bands includ-ing Tabou Combo, Ram, Bouk-man Eksperyans and Emeline Michel.

There also will be Haitian master artisans demonstrat-ing their craft in the Haiti Pavilion.

Dating his late wife’s nurse upsets man’s familyDear Abby: My husband’s

darling mother died of cancer last summer. During the last month of her illness she was confi ned to bed, so we hired a nurse, “Lois,” to cover the night shift.

The day after the funeral, my husband’s father started calling Lois. Dad swore they were “just friends,” but con-tinued pursuing her despite our strong disapproval. Two months later, they were dating. Last Thanksgiving, our fi rst holiday without Mom, he canceled plans to be with us and the grandkids to spend it with “friends” — guess who? On Christmas it was the same story.

This has hit my husband hard. Dad and Mom were married for 50 years. We have always had a close family, par-ticularly at holiday time. Are we wrong to feel that Dad and Lois are disrespecting Mom’s memory and to feel hurt and angry? — Grieving in Minnesota

Dear Grieving: Please accept my sympathy for your family’s loss. While it may appear your father-in-law jumped quickly

into a relationship, it could be he grieved during the time his wife was ill and has concerns that his own time may be lim-ited, so he wants to enjoy life while he can.

As to missing the holidays, being there with his wife of 50 years conspicuously missing might have been more than he could face. So please, try to be understanding because I’m sure your mother-in-law’s death has been painful for all of you.

Dear Abby: After having a stroke, my mother spent the last few years of her life in a wonderful nursing facil-ity. She was an accomplished gardener and enjoyed sharing her bounty. Instead of sending her a fresh fl ower bouquet for Mother’s Day, I’d have some potted tomato plants deliv-ered to her nursing home.

On her death bed last year, she reminded us to water her tomato plants. Sadly, those plants outlived her.

I cannot think of a more fi t-ting tribute to her memory than to encourage your read-ers to provide living vege-table plants for their senior relatives. Most nurseries or florists will accommodate your request and, perhaps, could be persuaded to donate a plant or two to a local senior care center.

The joy of nurturing a living plant will continue through the summer. — Carole in San Clemente

Dear Carole: What a sweet idea. Your mother appears to have been a generous and caring woman, and your letter shows the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Dear Abby: When I was in high school, I was very popu-lar and part of a large social group. That was three years ago. Since graduation, I have been dealing with an anxiety disorder. It has reached the point where I can no longer work, go to school or have much of a social life. I am cur-

rently seeking treatment.Whenever I’m in touch

with someone I was close to in high school, I am always asked where I’m working now or what school I’m attending. I feel embarrassed because of my disorder and often I don’t respond because I don’t know what to say. Any ideas? — Speechless in Illinois

Dear Speechless: You could say that you haven’t been well and needed to take some time to recover — or, if you don’t want to reveal that much, say, “I decided to take some time to fi nd myself,” which is common and suffi ciently euphemistic. And the surest way to find treatment for your anxiety disorder would be to tell your family doctor you need to con-sult a mental health profes-sional who specializes in anx-iety disorders. Once you fi nd one, you can quickly return to the mainstream of life.

Prescription, home medsboth work on cold sores

Dear Dr. Gott: I have noticed that a lot of people write to you about cold sores. Valtrex works to totally inhibit them. I have suffered from cold sores since the age of 4. When I was in my early 30s, the virus got out of hand and I was getting cold sores on a monthly basis. My dermatologist suggested I try 500 milligrams of Valtrex daily, and my cold sores completely stopped. I’ve had two cold sores in the 15 years since, both times after stopping the medication for about two to three weeks to see if I still needed it. My mother and brother also use Valtrex but on an “as needed” basis. They take it when they feel the tingling that comes before the sore. They take two 500-milligram tablets when they feel that tingle and then one 500-milligram tablet once a day for a week after that. Please tell your readers about this remedy.

Dear Dr. Gott: Cold-sore out-breaks can be triggered by foods high in arginine, such as peanuts or peanut butter. Elim-inating those foods or increas-ing L-lysine intake can help.

Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to share a simple home remedy for cold sores. Simply take a red match, dampen it with water and then put it on the cold sore and hold it there for a few seconds. It might sting, but that is simply the sulfur doing its work. If you can catch it as soon as the sore starts, it’ll never fully develop. Both my grandkids, ages 6 and 7, have used it successfully.

Dear Dr. Gott: For years, I was plagued with cold sores. I suffered with them in and around my mouth. I discov-ered that eating raw onions (which I didn’t like growing up so never ate them) both cured them when I had one and pre-vented them from occurring. For the past 30 years, whenever one starts, I add onions to my salad or hamburger and away they go. I still don’t like them, but I tolerate them. I hope this helps other sufferers.

Dear Readers: Cold sores (also known as fever blisters or herpes simplex 1) are pain-ful, fluid-filled lesions. Most commonly they occur on the lips. Less commonly, they can appear in the nostrils or on the chin or fingers. Rarely, they might occur inside the mouth. Cold sores are not the same as canker sores (painful, shallow, white or yellow ulcers), which occur only in the mouth but are not the result of the herpes virus.

Valtrex is a prescription antiviral medication. In most instances, when I answer letters about cold sores, I do not rec-ommend prescription medica-tions, primarily because many people avoid them. Instead, I am most often asked to pro-vide home remedies or alterna-tive remedies for this common malady. However, for severe cases, such as yours, Valtrex

might be the most benefi cial and effective treatment.

L-lysine is one of the most common home remedies used for the treatment, and some-times for prevention of cold sores.

As for the match and onions, I’m not sure why they work but I cannot see any harm in trying, either.

If tomorrow is your birthday: There is likely to be an upsurge in your ambitions in the near future. Because you know what you want and how to get it, you aren’t likely to trip over any stumbling blocks on your way to sweet success.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You should be a kind person, but not to the point of being a patsy or taking a backseat to some-one in situations where you should be assertive. Don’t cede your control to anybody else.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — A distasteful chore that all of your associates have been dodging might be dumped in your lap if you come o� as a know-it-all. As the sailors say, keep clam.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Even if you come up with a bril-liant idea regarding a way to accomplish something important, unless you have the skill or know-how to pull it o� , don’t take a leadership role.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The faith you require to perform a much-needed task is far too fragile, so avoid discussing your plans with other negative thinkers who are likely to only de� ate your dreams.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even though you need to be very careful not to take anything for granted concerning your com-mercial a� airs, the opposite might be true with personal con-cerns. Discern the di� erence.Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Unless you are extremely careful, a relationship of dubious value might start coming apart at the seams. Be realistic about the prospect of cutting your losses.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Unless you are attentive and cog-nizant about commonsense health matters, your body could su� er. Don’t overdo anything: eat well and get adequate rest and su� cient exercise.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — An agitator within your social group might stir up trouble and put you in an awkward position that you’ll be forced to defend. Don’t let yourself be manipulat-ed.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Cover-ups have a way of being discovered. If you’ve done something you’re trying to hide and it is disclosed, don’t try to lie your way out of it. Fess up to the truth; people can handle it.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There is a strong possibility that you could be so focused on your own ideas that you turn a deaf ear to advice that would be far better than your thinking. Keep an open mind.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — While trying to help another, if you’re not careful you could get entrapped in something you don’t like and end up carrying the entire load all by yourself. Don’t be anyone’s beast of burden.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Even though it might seem to you that someone or something is opposing everything you want to do, keep your cool. You have more control over obsta-cles than you realize.

Dr. Wallace: I live with my father, who is 35, and my stepmoth-er, who is 18.

They have been married two months. Believe me when I tell you this woman (girl?) is a domineering gold digger. I’m 17 and in the 11th grade.

I don’t know if I can survive with her being my “mommy dear.” Already, she is giving me orders that I refuse to obey.

I complained to my father, and he told me that if I didn’t like the new home atmosphere, to “hit the road and don’t look back.” What should I do? — Mike, Jacksonville, Fla.

Mike: Your dad’s prime interest at this time is his child bride and he is not really interested a great deal in your well-being. To “hit the road and don’t look back” is not an option for you. Stay at home, at least until you graduate from high school.

By that time, things might be more positive for you. Keep qui-et about your feelings concerning your stepmother.

If your mother is not in the picture and you need advice from a trusted adult, you need to discuss your situation with your school counselor.

It is important for you to stay in school, get the best grades possible, and graduate with your class.

I understand the situation is uncomfortable, but you must stay calm and plan your future carefully — whether it’s college or employment.

Don’t allow your ego to dictate your future; instead rely on in-telligence and good planning.
