American Queen returning to city By Pamela Hitchins phitchins@vicksburgpost.com

Final Frontier

The American Queen, a classic-style riverboat that last docked in Vicksburg 3½ years ago, will return to City Front April 17. The Queen was a fixture at the Vicksburg waterfront for

many years along with sister ships the Delta Queen and the Mississippi Queen. Its previous owner ceased operations in 2008, but the American Queen was purchased in August and is being recommissioned by the Great American Steamboat Company of Memphis.

Day excursions in Vicksburg, including the one set for April 17 and one April 23, as well as cruises that feature the city as departure or destination point, are on the schedule. “I cannot wait to hear that

Firefighters at Central Fire Station on Walnut Street stand back to take a good look at the Vicksburg Fire Department’s new fire rescue vehicle. The $130,000 vehicle has more seating and a tighter turning radius than previous rescue vehicles and is equipped with fourwheel drive. Assistant Chief Craig Danczyk, who is sorting through supply packs at right, said the city last purchased a rescue vehicle in 2005. He said he expects this one to last about 10 years.

All trusties kicked out of Governor’s Mansion By The Associated Press JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant has ended a decadeslong practice of state prison trusties working at the Governor’s Mansion. Bryant said Thursday was the last day for trusties assigned to the Mansion. Bryant’s announcement comes amid ongoing controversy over former Gov. Haley Barbour’s decision Jan. 6 to pardon four murderers and one robber who were mansion trusties during his second term. Bryant has said he is not criticizing Barbour’s actions and that he had planned to

The six trusties under Gov. Phil Bryant included four convicted of murder, one convicted of driving drunk and causing two deaths and another convicted of selling cocaine. Their duties included general maintenance and landscaping.

make changes to the mansion trusty system anyway. “As governor, Bryant first discontinued the practice of inmates spending the night on the mansion grounds and then the tradition of pardoning those individuals,” spokesman Mick Bullock

said. “Bryant stated that he would work toward phasing out the use of trusties at the mansion, and that last phase of Bryant’s plan was completed.” Bryant’s decision means the six new trusties who have been working at the

Governor’s Mansion since Jan. 3 will be reassigned. The six trusties under Bryant included four convicted of murder, one convicted of driving drunk and causing two deaths and another convicted of selling cocaine. Their duties included general maintenance and landscaping. Bryant had already ordered that the trusties not live at the mansion, so the Mississippi Department of Corrections was transporting them daily from Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl.

Appeals court studying whether South needs election oversight By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Appeals court judges expressed concern Thursday about whether to overrule Congress’ determination that some Southern states and other jurisdictions still must have federal election monitoring to protect minority voting rights. Alabama’s Shelby County

is challenging a requirement under the Voting Rights Act that governments with a history of discrimination obtain federal approval to change even minor election procedures. An attorney for the county argued in federal appeals court in Washington that the South has changed and that extraordinary oversight is no longer needed. But two of three judges

on the panel hearing the case pointed out Congress renewed the provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act in 2006 after finding that discrimination still exists. A lower court endorsed that finding. “Why shouldn’t we defer to the judgment of Congress?” asked Judge Thomas Griffith, the Senate’s former top lawyer

and a nominee of President George W. Bush. Judge David Tatel, a former civil rights attorney and appointee of President Bill Clinton, asked similar questions. Griffith pointed out that lawmakers spent a considerable amount of time weighing evidence of continued racial discrimination and See Voting, Page A7.

JACKSON — Mississippi’s economy is slowly recovering but remains “feeble,” an expert told lawmakers Thursday. House and Senate leaders said they’ll keep that in mind as they write a budget over ‘We’ve been the coming months. very good State econoat paying mist Darrin Webb said our debt.’ Mississippi Lynn ended 2011 on a strong note, Fitch with 3.4 perstate cent growth in treasurer the final quarter. That was the strongest three-month period since the second quarter of 2010. “We’ve seen gains in employment the past three months, but as you can see the recovery has really been pretty feeble,” Webb said during an economic briefing at the Capitol. Webb said he expects slow economic growth in 2012. He also said he expects the state to meet its anticipated level of revenue collections for the fiscal year that ends June 30. State Treasurer Lynn Fitch, who also spoke during the briefing, said Mississippi maintains a strong bond rating and is well below its constitutional debt limit — two positive bits of news. “We’ve been very good at paying our debt,” Fitch said. However, she said the state ranks higher than she’d like on two measures. In both measures, Fitch said it’s best to be ranked 50th and worst to be first. — Mississippi is 16th in the amount of tax-supported debt per capita. In 2010, the most recent year available, Mississippi had $1,534 in debt per person compared to the U.S. median state debt of $1,066 per person. — Mississippi is 14th in tax-supported state debt as a percentage of personal income. In 2010, Mississippi’s level was 5.1 percent, while the U.S. median level was 2.8 percent. Webb told lawmakers that See Economy, Page A7.

GULFPORT, Miss. — Federal agents are investigating the discovery of anti-tank rounds found at a Gulfport home. A military bomb squad early today detonated the remaining live rounds found at the home. Authorities have not identified a man who was injured Thursday in an explosion at the home. Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt says the man suffered facial and chest trauma. His condition was not known. Anti-tank rounds are military-issue artillery ammunition used to penetrate and destroy tanks and other armored vehicles. It wasn’t clear from where the rounds came.

Diamondhead closer to getting city charter DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. — A Mississippi Supreme Court decision likely ends the court battle over Diamondhead’s incorporation. On Thursday, the court denied a petition to rehear the incorporation. Attorneys contended the court was incorrect when it ruled proper notice was given because the hearing was postponed without properly informing the public of the new date. Thursday’s ruling is the latest in a five-year legal battle to make the area of about 9,500 residents a city.

Legal fees waived for BP spill claims NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge has ruled that people pursuing their Gulf of Mexico oil spill claims against BP outside of federal court do not have to pay fees to hundreds of lawyers working on behalf of about 120,000 claimants. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier issued the ruling Wednesday to clarify a previous ruling that left everyone still seeking damage payments from BP having to pay 6 percent of their claims to lawyers suing BP and other companies involved in the nation’s largest offshore oil spill. Also, Barbier has approved this week an agreement between plaintiffs’ attorneys and the states of Louisiana and Alabama to set aside 4 percent of damage payments to pay for attorneys’ fees. Louisiana’s attorney general, James “Buddy” Caldwell, had contested the fee structure but reversed course after reaching an agreement that excludes payments for environmental damages to be subjected to the 4 percent fee for attorneys.

4th Greene County teen dies from rollover wreck LEAKESVILLE, Miss. — A fourth teen has died from injuries sustained in a singlevehicle accident Wednesday in Greene County. Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Cpl. Todd Miller said 17-year-old Joseph Lister died Thursday afternoon at the University of Southern Alabama Medical Center in Mobile. Miller, who didn’t know the exact cause of death, said Lister sustained serious head trauma in the accident. Also killed in Wednesday’s wreck were Dillion Reid and Codi Henderson, both 16; and 15-year-old Stephen Nicholson. Seventeen-year-old Russell Green remains in fair condition. All five teens were students at Greene County High School. The accident occurred about four miles off Mississippi 594 near Leakesville. Miller said the students’ truck ran off the roadway, hit an embankment and flipped, ejecting all five.

Study backs special retirement plan for state college employees By Jeff Amy The Associated Press JACKSON — A study of a special retirement savings plan for Mississippi public university employees recommends changing how the state’s contribution levels are set. The Optional Retirement

Plan covers more than 4,000 employees. Professors, administrators, coaches, researchers, medical residents and others may join the plan, instead of the traditional state pension system. The optional plan is meant to provide retirement savings to people who may leave state employment before the eight years of service that

are needed to earn a regular pension. Now, universities put the same share of employee salaries into the 401(k)-like accounts as schools contribute for employees in the traditional pension. The proposal, requiring legislative approval, could help universities hold down future contributions.

A study committee recommended keeping the rest of the plan largely the same, rejecting the option of allowing employees to later transfer to a traditional pension. The committee also recommended that those who have entered the special plan should stay in if they move to another university position that’s not

eligible. The Optional Retirement Plan was created in 1990 to help recruit professors and administrators. Because those people often move from state to state as their careers advance, they might be turned off by having to stay at a Mississippi public university for eight years to gain any retire-

ment benefit. “It’s critical to the recruiting capability,” Cheryl Mowdy, the College Board’s assistant commissioner for finance and administration, said after a Thursday board meeting. Employees must choose to enter the optional plan within 30 days of starting work, and aren’t allowed to change.

Alabama fan arrested for obscene video Admitted child killer NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An Alabama man was arrested late Wednesday in connection with a video appearing to show someone in a University of Alabama jacket abusing an unconscious Louisiana State University fan after Alabama beat LSU for the BCS football championship. Brian Downing, 32, of Smiths Station, Ala., was booked on charges of sexual battery and obscenity. He was videotaped Jan. 9 “placing his genitals on an LSU fan’s face. The LSU fan appears to be heavily inebriated and practically unconscious,” a police statement said. That videotape, the last minute of which shows a man in a red Alabama jacket simulating a sex act, went viral on the Internet. Police said sex crimes detectives met Downing at his attorney’s office in New Orleans, where officers arrested him. Downing looked at the ground as officers escorted him in handcuffs into the jail. Neither he nor the officers answered questions. Downing’s actions were videotaped about 11:45 p.m. Jan. 9, at a restaurant on Bourbon Street, police said. They said LSU and Alabama University campus police helped them collect information and evidence needed to get a warrant for Downing’s arrest.

kills himself in cell

Brian Downing is escorted by detectives in New Orleans Thursday. Downing is a second cousin of Russell County, Ala., Sheriff Heath Taylor, who earlier Thursday had said Downing was on his way from Alabama to New Orleans to surrender. Taylor told The Associated Press that he learned from other family members Thursday morning that Downing had been identified as the man shown exposing himself and then simulating a sex act above the head of an apparently unconscious man in an LSU-purple shirt. Taylor said he had not seen the video or asked Downing about the case.

After hearing from his relatives, Taylor said, he called Downing’s father and told him to bring him to the sheriff’s office in Phenix City, Ala. He said he then called New Orleans police to ask whether they wanted him to jail and extradite Downing or send him to New Orleans to surrender. “New Orleans made that call,” he said. Taylor said he did not speak to Downing. “I gave his attorney the card with the detective’s name on it and cell number.” The relationship was first reported by the Ledger-

College Board OKs UMC borrowing plan

$112 million will reimburse, not purchase required software By Jeff Amy The Associated Press JACKSON — The state College Board has approved a $112 million bond issue for the University of Mississippi Medical Center, even though one board member questioned whether it was appropriate to borrow the money. UMMC had originally proposed to use some of the money to buy software to comply with a federal requirement that it start using electronic health records or face reimbursement cuts. But that idea was shelved because the board was uneasy that longterm debt might outlive the software, even though an attorney general’s opinion

said it was a legal use of debt. Instead, the bond issue will reimburse the medical center for $34.3 million of work that UMMC has already paid for. Dr. James Keeton, UMMC’s vice chancellor for health affairs, said that money would not be used to buy the software. The College Board waived its rule that a specific money source be earmarked to pay off the debt, because the projects aren’t expected to increase revenue. Instead, it required a report from UMMC showing it would increase revenue or cut expenses. UMMC said earlier this month it would lay off 115 employees and leave 90 unfilled positions vacant,

citing the costs of implementing the electronic health records as well as an increase in uninsured and underinsured patients. West Point Mayor Scott Ross was the lone College Board member to vote against the bond issue Thursday, saying he thought the money would only technically go to pay for construction and building equipment, and that he couldn’t remember the rule requiring a revenue stream ever being waived during his time on the board. “I don’t believe it’s keeping with the spirit of our policy,” Ross said. “This thing has morphed itself into a way that it technically fits.”

The associated press

Enquirer of Columbus, Ga., which is about nine miles eastnortheast from Phenix City. Scott Myers, a spokesman for Birmingham, Ala.-based Hibbett Sports Inc., confirmed Thursday that the company fired Downing on Wednesday because of his part in the video. He said the company had been aware of the tape but did not identify the person on it until Wednesday. He refused to say what the man did for Hibbett or how the company became aware of his alleged involvement.

ATLANTA (AP) — In an abrupt end to a disturbing saga, a 20-year-old maintenance man apparently killed himself in a Georgia prison two days after pleading guilty to molesting and killing a little girl. Ryan Brunn’s death in his cell was an apparent suicide, the state Department of Corrections said, but it was still under investigation today. Corrections spokeswoman Kristen Stancil wouldn’t comment on how he died or whether prison officials had taken precautionary measures to monitor him, such as putting him on suicide watch. Brunn was found unresponsive at 4:15 p.m. Thursday at the state prison in Jackson and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:37 p.m., Stancil said. An autopsy likely would be conducted today at the state Bureau of Investigation’s medical examiner’s office, GBI spokesman John Bankhead said. He said GBI agents are investigating the death. Brunn died after another sudden turn in the case, when he unexpectedly entered a guilty plea during a hearing Tuesday. At that hearing, he took the witness stand and explained

Jorelys Rivera

Ryan Brunn

in chilling detail how he lured 7-year-old Jorelys Rivera to a vacant apartment in an Atlanta suburb, molested her, stabbed her to death and then stuffed her body in a trash compactor. The Dec. 2 slaying happened at the complex in Canton where she lived and he worked. Brunn’s guilty plea was designed to spare him the possibility of being executed and to save Rivera’s family the emotional trauma of an extended trial. Vernon Keenan, chief of the GBI, also said the guilty plea gave his agents a unique opportunity to delve into the mind of a “cold and calculated killer.” After entering the plea, Brunn briefly apologized to the girl’s family members, who sobbed quietly in the front row of the courtroom. The girl’s mother, Jocelyn Rivera, expressed relief.

JACK VIX SAYS: Interesting weather for January.

OUR OPINION

Openness As the 2012 voting begins, stealth wins Newt Gingrich dropped the “L” word this week to describe his No. 1 opponent for the Republican presidential nomination — and we don’t mean he used the word “liberal.” No, Gingrich, frustrated with the bushels of campaign ads that Mitt Romney’s friends dumped onto the airwaves over the past few weeks, called Romney a liar. The ads attacked Gingrich for having “more baggage than the airlines,” wounding the Gingrich campaign at a critical moment. Given Gingrich’s long track record of hardball politics, we think it’s a little rich for the former speaker of the House to complain about fairness. What he and the other candidates should be doing is advocating for tough campaign disclosure rules so that voters know exactly who is behind the attack ads. The ads that caused Gingrich so much pain did not come from the Romney campaign. But they did come from people closely associated with Romney who understand the former Massachusetts governor’s strategy. Restore Our Future, a new so-called super PAC that by law must operate independently of the Romney camp, was behind the onslaught. The group is directed by former Romney aides. Romney, in the words of

New York Times reporters Nicholas Confessore and Jim Rutenberg, has “effectively outsourced his negative advertising to a group that has raised millions of dollars from his donors to inundate his opponents with attacks — all without breaking the rules that forbid super PACs to explicitly coordinate with candidates.” Both parties are playing this game. Aides to President Barack Obama have formed Priorities USA Action, which may spend as much as $100 million on his behalf. Super PACs such as these are the logical outgrowth of the U.S. Supreme Court’s deeply flawed Citizens United decision in 2010, which opened the floodgates to corporate and union spending on campaigns. Super PACs can accept unlimited donations. But as part of its Citizens United decision, the Supreme Court also explicitly allowed disclosure of campaign donors. Neither party has pushed very hard to put such rules in place. Nationally, the DISCLOSE Act stalled in the Senate in 2010 in the face of united Republican opposition. The bill would have required corporations to more fully disclose political donations. Congress should revive that effort. Congress also should

place stricter disclosure rules on super PACs. Loopholes in current law allow them to keep their donors secret until after the first four big political contests of the year. That’s an advantage for the special interests that hope to influence the outcome of those key early races — but it’s not so good for voters. Tighter disclosure rules are needed for state elections, too. For example, about $44 million was spent during last summer’s Wisconsin state Senate recall elections, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. Of that, about $18.75 million was spent on undisclosed “issue ad” spending, the Madison watchdog group estimates. State Government Accountability Board rules, now being challenged in the state Supreme Court, require that people or groups that run independent ads that are essentially campaign ads have to disclose where their money is coming from. The court should uphold these rules. In any case, the legislature should enact a disclosure law that lets voters see who is behind campaign spending. Whether it’s at the federal or state level, voters have a right to know who is paying for campaign advertising so they can better judge the candidates.

smart money Q: I have several questions and do not know where to start. I am worried about our retirement. I have had several jobs over the years, but none has had a retirement plan. We have moved a lot due to my husband’s military career. He is now retired, BRUCE and his retirement goes to our mortgage. He also works another job that offers him a 401(k) match. He says he does not want to have to work until retirement age; he wants to retire young. But I honestly do not think we can make it. We would just have that one retirement to live off of, as his other goes to the mortgage. Help! — L.W., via e-mail A: You mentioned that your husband had a military career

WILLIAMS

and is now retired. While he may have been a very good military man, unhappily, he is a little boy when it comes to the rest of the world. He has no life insurance. He has no will and wants to retire young, but realistically he can’t afford it. You are worried about your retirement, and with good reason. I assume that both of you will have acquired enough quarters to be eligible for full maximum or near maximum Social Security benefits. His military retirement should help as well. It’s good to know there is one mature partner in this marriage. You should sit down with your husband and explain the facts of life to him. It’s time for this guy to start acting like an adult, or you’re going to have a very difficult retirement. •

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Mitt Romney entered the final full day of campaigning in South Carolina’s GOP primary contest today scrambling to fend off challenges from more conservative rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum and insisting he’s the one that Republicans can trust to “post up well” against President Barack Obama A year out from Inauguration Day, Republicans are capturing the most attention with their riveting contest, with Obama seemingly spoiling for a fight. With South Carolina’s critical primary only a day away, Gingrich was gaining on Romney, and South Carolina’s Sen. Jim DeMint declared it a “two-man race.” But Santorum insisted he’s still part of the equation. Gingrich’s tumultuous personal life promised to make the dash to Saturday’s voting frenetic and the intra-party attacks increasingly sharp. Gingrich on Thursday faced stunning new allegations from an ex-wife that he had sought an open marriage before their divorce.

Born at 9 1/2 ounces, L.A. baby headed home LOS ANGELES — One of the world’s smallest surviving babies is headed home. Melinda Star Guido weighed only 9 1/2 ounces at birth— less than a can of soda. After spending her early months in the neonatal intensive care unit, a team of doctors and nurses will gather today to see her off. Melinda has been growing steadily and gaining weight since she was born prematurely at 24 weeks in August at the Los Angeles CountyUSC Medical Center. She is the world’s third smallest baby and the second smallest in the U.S. Now weighing 4 1/2 pounds, doctors said Melinda has made enough progress to be discharged.

Obama again seeks $1.2T cuts in deficit WASHINGTON — In its

nation/world BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

budget submission next month, the Obama administration will urge lawmakers to revisit the failed attempt by a congressional supercommittee to cut the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion, the White House says. The proposal runs counter to the common wisdom in Washington that any major deficit reduction effort is unlikely in a presidential election year. Instead, lawmakers are focusing on a one-year extension of a payroll tax cut and supplemental jobless benefits sought by the president as part of last fall’s jobs agenda. The White House plan, likely to reprise new taxes and fee proposals that are nonstarters with Capitol Hill Republicans, would turn off the entire nine-year, $1.2 trillion across-the-board spending cuts, referred to as a “sequester.”

Eurozone confidence rises with reports PARIS — France and Spain on Thursday sailed through their first bond market tests since Standard & Poor’s downgraded their credit ratings last week, a sign that politicians and central bankers have at least temporarily stemmed the spread of Europe’s debt crisis. Worries about the 17-nation eurozone have receded since the start of the year, with stocks rallying consistently and bond yields — the rate countries pay to borrow — sliding. Analysts warn, however, that those gains might simply be riding an absence of bad news — a looming recession could hinder efforts to slash deficits while Greece depends on a deal with banks to avoid a disastrous default this spring. Spain and France held successful short-term debt auctions earlier in the week. Spain’s success is at least partially thanks to the European Central Bank’s massive injection of cheap money into the financial sector in December.

Online For more information and American Queen river tour schedules, visit http://www.greatamericansteamboatcompany.com/american_queen/ from Vicksburg Aug. 10 with stops that include Helena, Ark., Memphis, Paducah, Ky., and Decatur, Ga., before disembarking in Chattanooga. Burns will be the featured speaker for the whole of the trip, Hicks said. “We are thrilled to offer the ultimate historical experience during our Civil War cruises onboard the American Queen,” Christopher Kyte, president of Great American said in a prepared release. “Our guests will discover so much of this country’s rich history told by leading academics and passionate storytellers.”

A reverse tour from Chattanooga to Vicksburg is set for Aug. 20-30, and the River City is also the destination for a Big Band cruise departing from Louisville, Ky., on Aug. 3. A number of day excursions for passengers traveling between Memphis and New Orleans will see passengers visiting the Vicksburg National Military Park, the Old Court House Museum, shops and other sites while docked here. “There is such a fascination with that part of our history — the whole riverboat experience,” said Seratt. “The

Economy

passengers are excited about it and the entire city gets excited whenever the Queens roll in.” The Delta Queen, an authentic sternwheel riverboat built in the 1920s,was sold in 2009 to a Chattanooga company for use as a floating hotel, and the Mississippi Queen, moored since 2007 in Gretna, La., was sold for scrap to a private company in 2010. The American Queen, built in 1994, is 418 feet long and about 89 feet high. It’s fitted with 222 staterooms capable of housing 436 passengers, and features a calliope with 37 gold-plated brass pipes, according to the Steamboats. org website. Great American Steamboat acquired the American Queen from the U.S. Maritime Administration, an office of the Department

of Transportation, for $15.5 million. About $5 million was spent to ready the ship for the 2012 season. Cruises start at $2,295 per person, which includes bottled water and soft drinks, wine and beer at dinner and a pre- or post-cruise stay at a hotel, though not in any of Vicksburg’s 2,500 hotel rooms. “Unfortunately, there are no hotels in Vicksburg with at least 200 rooms, which is what we require,” said Hicks. “We do like to have all our guests in one particular property.” Present plans call for passengers to stay at one of two New Orleans hotels with bus transportation provided by Great American.

other states, we have a very high rate of unwed motherhood. We think all that plays a role in this.” He said employment in Mississippi peaked in May 2000, declined through June 2004 and then improved modestly until February 2008. After that, Mississippi steadily lost jobs until February 2010; at that point, there were 76,800 fewer jobs in the state than there had been in February 2008. Job growth has been slow since then. In November

2011, there were 55,400 fewer jobs than there had been in February 2008. Webb said it could be 2014 before Mississippi returns to a pre-recession level of annual economic growth. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn, both Republicans and both new in their leadership jobs this year, said that because of the sluggish economy, lawmakers need to be cautious while writing a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. They face a May 1

that the Constitution gives the legislature power over decisions that affect the 15th Amendment’s protections of voting rights for racial minorities. “But that can’t be without limitation,” responded Shelby County’s attorney, Bert Rein. He said the numbers of blacks registered to vote and elected to office has increased dramatically since the act was first passed and said those who implemented discriminatory practices in the 1960s are no longer in charge. “The South has changed,” he said. The county, located just south of Birmingham in central Alabama, sued Attorney General Eric Holder in 2010 to stop the monitoring required under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. The provision relies heavily on patterns of past discrimination to determine which state, county and local governments must obtain “preclearance” for election changes as minor as moving a polling place or redrawing school district lines. That clearance can come either from the Justice Department or from a federal court in Washington.

deadline. “The budget negotiations this year are going to be very difficult, as we’re going to be dealing with significantly less money this year than we had last year, and that’s a trend that’s certainly occurred over the last several years, and it looks like it’s going to continue,” said Reeves, who presides over the Senate. Gunn said House budget writers are going to be “very frugal.” “We’re going to be very

careful not to overextend ourselves,” Gunn said. “We have had a practice in the House over the last few years, in my opinion, of projecting expenditures greater than the amount of money that we have. We’re just going to be very sure that what we put in the budget is money that we actually have, not money that we hope we have.”

Almanac U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled against the county and upheld the law in September after reviewing 15,000 pages of congressional records and deciding that lawmakers were justified in finding that discrimination still existed in the covered jurisdictions. The judge pointed to several examples of outright discrimination across the South since the 1980s, including legislators in Mississippi and Georgia using racial epithets during redistricting debates and reports of harassment of blacks at the polls in Texas and South Carolina. According to the Justice Department Web site, Section 5 currently applies to the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. It also covers certain counties in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina and South Dakota, as well as some local jurisdictions in Michigan and New Hampshire. Preclearance coverage under the act has been triggered by past discrimination not only against blacks, but also against American

Indians, Asian-Americans, Alaskan Natives and Hispanics. The same three-judge appellate panel, which also includes Ronald Reagan appointee Stephen Williams, is scheduled to hear another challenge to the law brought by North Carolina on Feb. 27. Justice Department attorney Sarah Harrington argued that Section 5 has stopped discriminatory actions and said its protections are still needed. Although the Voting Rights Act has been called the most successful civil rights legislation in U.S. history, she said, “Things have not gotten better enough. There still continues to be a problem.” But Tatel reminded Harrington that the Supreme Court questioned in 2009 whether Southern states should still need advance approval of voting changes more than 40 years after the law was enacted. In that case, the justices avoided deciding whether the requirement is constitutional, which creates the possibility of the Shelby County or North Carolina cases reaching the high court.

The manufacturing job losses in the late 1990s were offset by growth in casinos that were new to the state. “Throughout entire decade through the 2000s, the economy really struggled,” Webb said. “We think this has to do with our lower human capital.

Sidelines Saints hire Spagnuolo as defensive coach

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Former St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has agreed to take over as defensive coordinator for with the Saints. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday about the hiring on condition of anonymity because the Saints have not announced it. Spagnuolo, 52, was head coach in St. Louis the past three seasons and was fired in January after going 10-38 with the Rams. Before that he was defensive coordinator for the New York Giants, a stint that included a Super Bowl upset of the New England Patriots. Gregg Williams, who was New Orleans’ defensive coordinator the past three seasons, has joined Jeff Fisher’s new staff in St. Louis. Spagnuolo’s Rams were one of three teams to beat New Orleans during the 2011 regular season. Spagnuolo’s defense in St. Louis ranked 22nd this season, but the unit was stellar against the Saints, sacking Drew Brees six times and intercepting him twice in the most lopsided loss the Saints had all season. Before taking over in St. Louis, Spagnuolo had top 10 defenses with the Giants in the 2007 and 2008 seasons. His 2007 defense led the NFL with 53 sacks and the 2008 unit was sixth in the league with 42. In the Giants’ 2008 Super Bowl triumph over New England, their defense sacked Tom Brady five times and the Patriots, who had led the NFL with an average of 36.8 points per game, to only 14 points. Before joining the Giants, Spagnuolo was a defensive assistant in Philadelphia from 1999-2006. He coached Pro Bowl players including Brian Dawkins and Lito Sheppard.

Lady Vikes take rematch Warren Central boys knock off Vicksburg to clinch playoff berth By Steve Wilson swilson@vicksburgpost.com Some things are worth the wait. Thursday’s Vicksburg-Warren Central game was postponed twice, but the game proved to be one of the most classic in the rivalry. Warren Central (11-7-2, Division 3-6A) earned a 2-1 victory — thanks to two big goals by senior Lindsey Barfield — and moved a step closer to the playoffs. The Lady Vikes can clinch a berth with anything less than a five-goal loss at Clinton tonight. Clinton beat WC 1-0 last week. “Tomorrow, expect a defensive struggle,” WC coach Trey Banks said. “It’s about getting a result and getting to the playoffs. Any team, when they tied it up, could’ve folded it in, but our girls

pushed forward and got the goal. I’m so proud of them.” The Missy Gators will need help to make it and even then, it’d be a 50-50 shot. They need a three-goal victory at Greenville-Weston tonight and a five-goal loss by WC to get to a coin toss to decide the final playoff berth. “That was definitely not what we hoped,” Vicksburg coach Kori Babb said. “We had, as our goal, to make it to North State and at least, the playoffs. I hate that we’re putting it in someone else’s hands.” Barfield, who hadn’t missed a game since eighth grade until last week’s game against Clinton, would not be denied in her return after a balky right knee sidelined her. Her first goal was the most spectacular. She booted a shot from 38 yards out and it

played for one as recently as 1999, and was a state tournament regular into the middle part of the last decade. The talent pool soon dried up, though. Only a handful of girls now participate in athletics at the school, which is in Class A in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools. Those who do play head into basketball season with the knowledge that victories will be rare. “You have to define success as something else,” senior forward Heather Sit said. “If you want to win, you obviously don’t want to play on our team.” That “something else” is different things to different players. Some play for personal satisfaction, the feeling of seeing something through to the end, or because they enjoy the game. For others it’s a way to stay in shape or

The last time Cookie Johnson went to a Red Carpet Classic was in 2005 when she was wearing a Warren Central uniform, playing against Harrison Central. On Saturday morning, Johnson will be back on her old home floor at Warren Central, but this time, she’ll be dressed in a purple jumpsuit as the coach of the St. Aloysius Lady Flashes. The St. Al girls (5-11) open the 16th annual classic against Porters Chapel Academy (0-16) at 10 a.m. at WC. It’s the first of six games. The St. Al boys and PCA boys follow at 11:30. At 1, the Vicksburg High girls meet Velma Jackson. At 2:30, the Vicksburg boys take on Velma Jackson. At 4, the Warren Central girls host Brandon, and the day concludes with a 5:30 game between Warren Central’s boys and Bailey Magnet. Saturday’s action will be a showcase for two of the county’s best players, St. Al’s Ann Garrison Thomas and Vicksburg High freshman sensation Ama Arkoful. Thomas comes to the RCC averaging 15.1 points per game. She’s had the single best game of the season of any player in Warren County, scoring 40 points against Piney Woods. Arkoful had 30 points in a win last week against Clinton. She leads the Missy Gators (9-10) with 16.7 points per game. Johnson said she is looking for a good game out of her Lady Flashes. “We want to come in and play our ‘A’ game,” Johnson said. “When we’ve done that, it usually equals a ‘W’ for us.” Arkoful will face the day’s toughest test as Vicksburg

Another long season

Wins few and far between for struggling PCA girls’ program By Ernest Bowker ebowker@vicksburgpost.com Before Porters Chapel takes the court, there’s a quiet confidence both among the team and in the crowd about how the game will play out. The Lady Eagles get off to a good start, holding their opponent scoreless for a few minutes as nervous anticipation builds. When their first shot falls through the hoop, the fans erupt. Then the excitement dies down. The opponent, Rebul Academy, goes on a run to take a big lead and the confidence returns. Both the team and its fans have seen this one before. The Lady Eagles play hard. They dive for loose balls, hustle up and down the court and even make a small run — and it’s still not enough. Rebul, like most of PCA’s opponents, is simply better and ends up with a lopsided victory.

Porters Chapel has not won a game this season. It came close Tuesday night, leading for nearly three quarters before losing 27-21 to Park Place. It won once last season. Counting the wins prior to that gets a little sketchy — memories have faded a bit and the losses blur together after a while — but it’s clear they’ve been few and far between the past five years. It’s been a tough stretch for a program that won two state championships in the 1980s,

On the winning second goal, Kelci McMaster pushed the ball forward after a goal kick and found Taylor Hanes, who booted a nice shot that Cooper intercepted perfectly. But Cooper didn’t make a clean grab and the ball deflected off her, allowing Barfield to boot home the rebound for the winning goal. “It was wild,” Barfield said. “I had set in my mind that I wasn’t losing. I thought I was going to faint after I made that first goal.”

ON THE HUNT goalbox to a bare minimum. “I don’t know if they had a single, goal-scoring opportunity,” Vicksburg coach Kevin Watson said. “Stats only count for so much, but we had a lot more quality opportunities and just couldn’t get it in. Playing from behind, it only makes it that much harder.” But WC, missing two of its top defenders Alberto Capeleto and Jade Pollack, managed to hold things together and escape with a playoff berth-clinching win. Oscar Kjellberg scored on a volley in the first half and Ahstin Greer got a 28-yarder to fall. “We knew it was going to be tough with three inexperienced people back there on defense,” WC coach Greg Head said. “I was proud of the guys. We came back in the second half, because in the first half, we were a little tentative, playing on a muddy field and we couldn’t play our game.”

The Vicksburg Post invites all hunters to submit photographs of wildlife they have killed. Please include the following: A general location of the hunt; what type of weapon was used; how long the shot was; and the size of the animal. If it is a buck, include information on rack length, width and points. Please submit pictures of children before they have been blooded. Pictures with an excess amount of blood will not be considered. Photos can be hand-delivered to The Vicksburg Post, 1601F North Frontage Road, Vicksburg; e-mailed to sports@vicksburgpost.com; or mailed to: Sports, P.O. Box 821668, Vicksburg, MS, 39182.

west Rankin. The Lady Cougars won the Class 6A title last year. Clarksdale, a 25-game winner, was the foe last year at Vicksburg. This year, Warren Central (8-12) might draw that honor as the Lady Vikes face Brandon (16-4). WC is paced by Rolanda Lovette and Shegredda Shorter. The boys’ games are headlined by the fourth meeting between St. Al and Porters Chapel. The Flashes won the first two meetings but PCA broke through last year with

its first Classic win at Vicksburg High. This year, PCA comes in with the best record in Warren County at 14-2. The Eagles have lost twice to Trinity Episcopal. St. Al, meanwhile, has struggled with just one win, but Eagles coach E.J. Creel is still wary about a quick turnaround. PCA had to play at Russell Christian tonight in Meridian. “We’ll get back around midnight or 1 and then have to turn around,” Creel said. “I

don’t care how good or bad you are, that’s the fourth game in a row on the road, that’s going to be tough Saturday.” Vicksburg boys’ coach Dellie C. Robinson said there are no gimmes for his suddenly struggling Gators (9-11), who face Velma Jackson (6-13). “It’s going to be a struggle because every game is a struggle for us,” Robinson said. “We’re still making the mistakes that get you beat at the end of the game.”

Whatever the reason, all of the losing hasn’t dampened their enthusiasm. “You just have to remember why you play and think positive,” junior guard Katie Locke said. “You never know what’s going to happen. Attitude can change a lot of things.” A positive attitude is one thing the Lady Eagles have in spades. No matter how many losses pile up, each game is another chance to play well and have fun — and if things break right, maybe even steal a victory. Just because it didn’t happen last time doesn’t mean it won’t this time. “We go out there thinking we can play well,” Graise said. “I always tell the girls that anything is possible. Don’t get your heads down. We can do it if we put our minds to it.” Beyond the hope that things will improve for this year’s team, there’s a sense of duty to younger players. PCA’s current junior high team has shown some promise, and giving up when times are tough would show them it’s OK to do the same. “You have to have faith and be a role model. We do have some young girls, and I think they do see that we don’t give up,” Sit said. Playing now, when it would be easy to simply quit and let the program slide into oblivion, is also a responsibility to the next generation of players, Sit added. “The younger girls might have more talent than we do. I’d hate where they could be a winning team, and if we didn’t play (basketball) wouldn’t be offered,” Sit said.

•

Those who cross paths with the Lady Eagles come away with a mix of sympathy, empathy and admiration. Most opposing coaches call off the dogs once their team is comfortably ahead, well aware that they have been or could be in the same position some day. “You don’t want to absolutely get on them. Just drop back in a 2-3 zone and slow it down,” Rebul coach Shane Edwards said. “It’s a deal where you’re letting them

They already are.” In the stands, fans become disappointed with the struggles, but gain an appreciation of the struggle. Coming back time and again when the odds are stacked against you builds character and respect, they said. “That says a lot about her, not to give up. A lot of kids would quit and she’s not like that,” Tammy Sit, mother of Heather Sit, said of her daughter. “I’m extremely proud of her. I don’t know if I would’ve been as strong as she has been.” PCA coach E.J. Creel, who became the school’s career scoring leader when she played from 1997-2001, has also gained an appreciation for the inner strength of her players. “I admire them, because they take advantage of what they’re given,” Creel said. “They want to experience new things. They started in seventh grade and liked it enough to stick around. That’s encouraging when you see kids like that, because they’ll end up making something of themselves. This

creates so much more than winning and losing. If they can get by it and learn something, then I feel like I’ve done my part.” That there’s life beyond winning and losing is a lesson the Lady Eagles have taken to heart. More than most teams, they’ve gained an appreciation for how fleeting the feeling of victory can be and are determined to

savor it if they taste it again. And if they don’t? No biggie. “I know years from now, the records aren’t going to matter,” Heather Sit said. “Trophies collect dust. It’s going to be the memories we make. It’s a lot more to it than just a game.”

Irish men charged with stealing U.S. flag Police in Knoxville have arrested two Irish men and charged them with stealing an American flag from the Tennessee Valley Authority headquarters building. It wasn’t clear why the flag was taken early Wednesday, but the Knoxville News Sentinel reported the men jumped out of a taxi, cut the rope holding the flag, then ran into a hotel with their trophy. Police said they found the flag in the hotel room booked by 33-year-old John Patrick Kerrigan and 28-year-old James Mulroy, both of Dublin. TVA police recovered the flag and it’s being held as evidence.

Priceline sends Shatner’s Negotiator over cliff LOS ANGELES (AP) — William Shatner’s stalwart Capt. James T. Kirk died in the line of duty. Now the actor’s bargaintouting Priceline Negotiator is headed heroically to his final frontier. In a new 30-second TV spot set to begin being shown Monday, the Negotiator rescues panicked vacationers from a bus teetering on a bridge’s railing. “Save yourselves — some money,” he says, handing his cell phone to a passenger as he and the bus tumble into a dry creek bed. A violent explosion, real and computer-generated, follows. “I’m in grief mode,” a droll Shatner said by phone Wednesday. “It’s not the first time I’ve had an iconic character die off.” He’s been a pitchman for Priceline for 14 years, five of those as the relentless Negotiator preaching the gospel of travel bargains. But an advertising change was needed to reflect the company’s broader strategy, said Christopher Soder, CEO of Priceline.com North America. “The challenge is harder to get people’s attention than it used to be. ... So we decided to do something really over the top to get the message across,” Soder said. The new spot will be on his company’s website and, he hinted, might be part of next month’s Super Bowl commercial extravaganza. Shatner promoted Priceline as a site where travel prices are subject to bidding. But Price-

The associated press

William Shatner, right, in a Priceline.com commercial line is also a set discount-price booking site for more than 200,000 hotels in 140 countries, an expanding service that is not widely known by consumers, Soder said. The new direction makes sense, according to a marketing strategist. “It’s a tough decision, but the bottom line is Priceline had to do it,” said Peter Sealey, adjunct professor at the Claremont Graduate University’s school of management. “They’re changing their business model from a name-your-price model to a fixed-price approach.” Shatner’s Negotiator was just too good at representing the old approach, Sealey said. “Had he been less effective, he could have been allowed to fade away,” he said. “I don’t know if I would have gone as far as the bus exploding.”

Shatner, whose Kirk arguably had a less memorable death in 1994’s “Star Trek: Generations,” is philosophical about the turn of events. He’s looking ahead to the debut next month on Broadway of “Shatner’s World: We Just Live in It,” his one-man show. “It was a great run,” the Emmy-winning actor (“Boston Legal” and “The Practice”) said of the Priceline gig. But “if the management says this is the end, this is the end.” Is it? Could the Negotiator be resurrected? Or might Shatner, who previously appeared as a troubadour in spots for the website, play another role for Priceline? “I’m not going to speculate on future campaigns,” said the company’s Soder. Great pitchmen have been born from the ashes before.

Fast-food chain Jack in the Box’s commercials routinely feature “Jack,” a man wearing a version of the clown-faced symbol that the company dramatically blew up in 1980 to signal a menu change (“Waste him,” an elderly female customer said in the spot). Some Americans were upset by Jack’s demise. Does Soder fear backlash from those fond of Shatner and the Negotiator? “We certainly hope not. We had a great, long association with Mr. Shatner,” Soder said, adding hastily, “I didn’t mean to use the past tense. He’s still under contract with us.” True, said Shatner, an indefatigable 80 years old. So whether they use him again or not, he said merrily, “I’m going to make them pay through the nose.”

Pot-smoking daughter on brink of banishment Dear Abby: I caught my 16-year-old daughter, “Krista,” smoking marijuana.

For much of that time, Krista has been a nightmare. When she goes to school, more often than not she’s in the principal’s office for bad behavior. At home she’s worse. She doesn’t

listen to anyone. We have tried every type of punishment we can think of and nothing has worked. Recently, my wife brought up the idea of sending Krista to a

boarding school for troubled teens. At first, the suggestion made me angry, but after the marijuana incident I am more receptive to it. I am wracked with guilt. Sending my daughter away makes me feel like a failure as a father. But there might be no other choice. How does a parent know when enough is enough? — Fed-Up Father in Minnesota Dear Father: Do not send your daughter away to a boarding school for “troubled teens” without first having a

psychologist identify what is troubling her. If you do what your wife is suggesting, your daughter could return home with more problems than she left with. Sending her away should be a LAST resort. Some family counseling should be tried first.

What makes us ticklish is still mystery Dear Doctor K: I am a very ticklish person. My husband thinks it’s hilarious how easy it is to make me giggle and squirm. What causes ticklishness? Dear Reader: Ticklishness is indeed a mysterious phenomenon, and not just for you. To this day, no one has adequately answered the question of what causes it. When discussing ticklishness, most people mean the kind that makes you laugh and squirm. Let’s call this laughter-associated ticklishness. There’s another type, like what happens when you run your fingernails lightly over your skin. But I’ll focus on the first, since you asked. Although there isn’t a solid, science-based answer for why we’re ticklish, that hasn’t kept people from researching and speculating. Some of the top theories include these: • Tickling bonds people. A mom tickles her baby, the baby laughs, the mom smiles, and they share a happy moment together. Similarly, kids who tickle each other may bond over the experience. • Ticklish spots of the body, such as the abdomen or neck,

tend to be more vulnerable. Learning to protect them from tickling as a child might help you protect them from harm. I doubt this theory, however. I think it has some holes in it. For example, the head and hands are particularly vulnerable to injury, but they are not particularly ticklish. • Increased skin sensitivity on certain areas of the body develops before birth to encourage a fetus to stay in the healthiest positions in the womb. This centuries-old theory doesn’t seem to have any modern evidence to support it. The biggest question is whether laughter-associated ticklishness is an uncontrollable reflex, something that is “hard-wired” inside us at birth. Many experts believe that is likely, but others think this kind of ticklishness is something we learn as babies

TWEEN 12 & 20

BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Dr. Wallace: Please give me your honest opinion. What do you think about today’s teens? You, more than most adults, should have a pretty good assessment. — Ryan, Tupelo, Miss. Ryan: I do a lot of traveling throughout the United States and Canada talking with teens at high schools and colleges, and I’m thoroughly convinced

that most of today’s teens are intelligent, energetic, honest and highly motivated young adults. I’m well aware that some teens have severe problems maturing, but the majority of teens are just like you. • Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service.

by interacting with our parents and others. My own guess is that both theories are true: We are born with a tendency to be ticklish, and then interactions with others reinforce that tendency. One interesting fact is that you can’t tickle yourself. Once again, there is no convincing scientific data to explain this. If you try to tickle yourself, you’ll know where and when it’s going to happen, and that might cancel out the tickle. One idea is that, like your startle reflex, laughter-associated tickling requires that you not know it’s coming. Indeed, some studies have shown that people laugh more when they are blindfolded and don’t know where or when they’ll be tickled. However, I’m not sure I believe that theory, either. Even if I’m not surprised, even if I know that someone is trying to tickle me, and then she does it — I still laugh. What about you? Why are we ticklish? Why do we yawn? Why do we yawn when we see someone else yawn? Why do we laugh at certain things? Why are

so many adults — including big, powerful adults — terrified by tiny, nonpoisonous spiders? There are so many things that seem to be part of being human that we don’t even begin to understand. The question is: Do we need to?

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your ingenuity could help you discover not one but several answers to a situation that up until now you found perplexing. Put your brainpan to work and trust the solutions you get. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Answers that come through deduction as well as those that spring from intuitive perceptions will both be remarkably accurate. You’re able to size things up pretty quickly. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Getting involved with those who are not your regular cronies could give you a fresh perspective on things. Someone stimulating might motivate you to try a new approach to life. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The solution to a befuddling situation could come from anybody, which includes you. If you don’t find the answer by checking around, look within. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Although you might not think it possible, a plan you’ve been working on can be improved upon. Keep your mind open, and search for a new twist. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Because you’ll instinctively know how to use shifting conditions to your advantage, things are likely to work out quite well for you, regardless of those who try to mess them up. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s not important whom the author is, only what the results are. If someone comes up with an idea that’s different from yours, strive to be open-minded and receptive. It might be a much better scheme. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If a brainstorming session is definitely in order regarding something you and a coworker want to achieve, get the gray cells a-poppin’. An ingenious idea could be born. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Keep your schedule as flexible as you can. Something could develop from out of the blue

that you’ll want to be part of, and you won’t want to be tied down at that moment. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Go ahead and put those bright ideas that you’ve been nurturing to the test. If what you conceive in your mind is worthy, you’ll know quickly. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If things should get too structured, you could quickly

become bored or even mentally dejected. Seek activities or outlets that allow for lots of freedom of movement. Capricon (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Keep your eyes peeled for unusual opportunities that could prove interesting, especially if they might be potentially profitable as well. You could make an extra buck and have fun at the same time.
