JACKSON — Pardon files are missing or don’t exist for four convicted killers and another man who worked as trusties at the Governor’s Mansion and were pardoned by former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour during

his final days in office. The Associated Press made public records requests for such documents, but state officials said Wednesday they don’t have them on the trusties and some others pardoned by Barbour, a two-term Republican governor who left office this month. Attorney General Jim Hood, a

Democrat who has filed a legal challenge to dozens of the 198 pardons issued by Barbour at the end of his second term, said about 20 files are missing from a batch of several boxes that his office is examining. Barbour’s lawyers said in court records that pardon files, which generally contain letters and

other supporting documents that offer insights into the pardon process, don’t exist for the trusties. “Mansion trusties do not have pardon files at the Governor’s office or at the Parole Board. They have in a sense ‘living files’ See Pardons, Page A2.

Zoning board 204 homeless counted in Vicksburg, Warren gets 6th member By Danny Barrett Jr. dbarrett@vicksburgpost.com

Charles Butler lives off Johnson Street in Kings — until the rent runs out. “I won’t make rent, so I’m out here,” he told volunteers who, along with hundreds nationwide Wednesday, took an inventory of homeless people. Men who frequent the neighborhood liquor store summed up his story and others in the floodwracked community the same way. “Yeah, the water done got him,” a group of men outside the store said. “Flood water.” “Doc” Schlosser lives in an abandoned motel room surrounded by his personal demons, and his friend, Slim, who delivers beer and snacks to the 62-year-old who’s quick to quip about how he got there. “I’ve had young people around me and told ’em you’ll learn more from me in 10 minutes than you will people with four-year degrees,” said Schlosser, his cigarette slowly turning to ash. A life spent around too much stuff — all the wrong kind — has landed him among 204 homeless people counted Wednesday in Vicksburg and Warren County in the national Point in Time Count — a 74 percent jump since last year. Schlosser tells of a life spent doing standup comedy in New Orleans, where he claims his talent blew a budding comic named Ellen DeGeneres “off the stage.” Now, he says, his distractions are bought with a $1,000 disability check — not enough to retrieve his car from impoundment. “I fell off the yellow brick road,” he said. Both men were counted as unsheltered homeless people in the count, which takes place on the same day each year in January’s final week. Data and statistics are given to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to determine federal grants awarded to Continuums of Care entities. HUD guides volunteers to count people as unsheltered homeless if they are older than 18 and found to live in cars, parks, abandoned buildings or on the street.

Steven J. Jones, 26, will fill the spot left vacant with Casey Fisher’s resignation in 2010. Steven J. The Jones vote was 3-0. Mayor Paul Winfield participated via speaker phone connections from Jackson, where he was attending a meeting of the Mississippi Municipal League. Jones’ appointment to the zoning board, which is designed by city ordinance to include seven members, is the first since 2010, when two members resigned.

NRoute sees increase in fares, number of riders By John Surratt jsurratt@vicksburgpost.com Changes in NRoute’s routes received part of the credit Wednesday night for increased ridership and fares during the first four months of fiscal 2012. NRoute executive director Evelyn Bumpers said ridership and revenues for the period also were higher

than the same period a year earlier. According to NRoute’s monthly statistics, 11,859 people used NRoute from October to January, 193 more than for the same period in 2011. Fares totaled $13,142 as opposed to $12,716 in 2011. “The difference in our route changes are starting to show, but we’ll need a few more months before we’ll know the

real effect,” Bumpers said. The route changes approved by the commission in October dropped several stops and added new ones, including the Warren County Health Department on Monroe Street, four stops on Clay Street, including a stop at the MEA medical clinic, and stops at medical clinics on Mission 66 and South Frontage Road and Warren-Yazoo Mental

Health Services on Wisconsin Avenue. In other action, the board: • Approved financial reports. • Discussed a plan to keep Tonya McDonald, the mobility manager for the seven-county central Mississippi Transportation District.

because the Governor and the First Lady, as well as the Highway Patrolmen assigned to the Governor’s security, observe them every day and provide the information on which the Governor makes his decisions as to clemency,” according to a footnote in a legal brief in which Barbour’s attorneys argue that the pardons were valid and should be upheld. The Mississippi Parole Board often investigates those seeking clemency and sometimes make recommendations. The governor is not required to follow those recommendations. It’s not clear why files can’t be found for the men, at least some of whom have been eligible for parole and should at least have documents related to those hearings. The practice of prison inmates living and working at the Governor’s Mansion dated back decades and they had historically received some sort of early release or pardon at the end of a governor’s term. Phil Bryant, the state’s new Republican governor, has put an end to the program. Besides the documents for the trusties, other files that appear to be missing are for some of the five people who remain in prison in legal limbo. The five Governor’s Mansion trusties had already been released by the time Hood sought a temporary injunction to keep the others in prison until the courts could decide if the pardons were legal. The judge told the trusties to contact corrections officials every 24 hours. Barbour’s spokeswoman, Laura Hipp, said Wednesday that Hood’s office or the Parole Board has all existing files. “To our knowledge, all of the files related to the pardon requests or pardons granted are in the possession of the attorney general’s office or the Parole Board,” Hipp said. Parole Board Chairwoman Shannon Warnock said all pardon files had been in the possession of the governor’s office and Hood’s investigators picked them up the day after Barbour’s term ended.

Exotic animals Landrieu calls seized from for higher bonds roadside zoo after latest slaying COLLINS (AP) — Three tigers, three cougars, two leopards, two wolf-hybrids and a Macaque monkey were taken from a roadside zoo in Collins on Wednesday. The Humane Society of the United States said Wednesday in a news release that it’s helping coordinate the placement of the animals from the Collins Zoo. The Zoo, situated behind a pink wall on U.S. 49, has been targeted before. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks seized the animals after the Humane Society submitted legal complaints “documenting serious animal welfare issues as well as public safety concerns.” The animals will be split up between the Carolina Tiger Rescue of Pittsboro, N. C., and two facilities in Texas; Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation of Kendalia and Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary of Dilley. “The animals at the Collins Zoo have been forced to live in inhumane conditions for many years, and The Humane Society of the United States is relieved to finally be able to rescue these animals and help them begin new lives in appropriate sanctuaries,” Lydia Sattler, Mississippi state director for HSUS, said.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Hours after a 44-year-old father was gunned down while walking his children to school Wednesday, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced a crackdown on people caught with illegal guns. Harry “Mike” Ainsworth was shot just after 7 a.m. when he tried to intervene in a carjacking, police said. Police said a woman was going to work when she was approached by a man who demanded her vehicle. As she

screamed, Ainsworth rushed to help her and was shot several times, police said. Ainsworth died at the scene. The gunman escaped. Two schools in the area were placed on lockdown following the incident. Landrieu, who called the latest killing “heart-breaking,” sent a letter Wednesday to the criminal and municipal court judges asking them to set bonds for people caught with illegal guns at a minimum of $30,000 and require

This year, that number has risen to 50 percent in both categories, he said.

MERIDIAN — Three guns and a small amount of marijuana were found during a random search at Northeast Lauderdale High School. K-9 officers found the firearms Wednesday in two student vehicles in the school parking lot. Lauderdale Sheriff Billy Sollie said a juvenile was booked with possession of a weapon on a school campus after two rifles were taken from a car. A shotgun was found in the car of an 18-year-old student, whose case will go to a grand jury. Another juvenile was booked for marijuana possession. The students were suspended.

Scrushy sentenced to 70 months in prison

Hawaii man indicted; Katrina fraud alleged

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy was sentenced Wednesday to 70 months in prison, which shaved a year off his previous sentence of almost seven years. His lawyer, Art Leach, said the lighter sentence could mean that Scrushy will be eligible to be transferred within one of two months from the federal prison in Beaumont, Texas, to a halfway house. His wife, Leslie Scrushy, who

JACKSON — Federal officials say a man in Hawaii has been charged by a grand jury in connection with an investment scheme related to rebuilding projects in areas of Mississippi affected by Hurricane Katrina. A Justice Department news release from the Jackson FBI office identifies the man as 54-year-old Dan Doyle, a resident of the island of Oahu. The indictment alleges that Doyle promoted investments in Mississippi projects

has moved to Houston to be near her husband, said she was happy and relieved that the sentence was reduced. “I can’t wait to go call our children. I’m thankful for the outcome,” Leslie Scrushy said. She said she was going to tell the children that “their daddy’s sentence has been reduced and he’ll be coming home soon.” Scrushy and former Gov. Don Siegelman were convicted in 2006 in what prosecutors said was a bribery

scheme involving donations to Siegelman’s campaign for a statewide lottery Scrushy and Siegelman were granted new sentencing hearings when a federal appeals court dropped two charges. Resentencing for Siegelman, who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison, has not yet been scheduled. The former governor has served about nine months of his sentence and is currently free on an appeal bond.

Panetta stresses positives after pushing defense cuts Suspect in priest’s death Prominent in the Obama plan is a renewed focus on found dead in Rankin jail Asia, where China’s rapid military modernization has WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is preparing to tighten its belt, but with an election-year battle looming in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta wants to stress the positive: Parts of the budget devoted to reshaping the military to fit a new global strategy will actually get fatter, he says. But that’s unlikely to mollify Republicans who say President Barack Obama’s plan will leave the Pentagon stretched too thin to handle potential security threats in the Middle East, Asia and beyond. Panetta was expected to outline the main areas of proposed spending cuts and increases at a Pentagon news conference today, more than two weeks before the Obama administration submits its 2013 budget proposal to Congress. He will be joined by Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs

raised worry in Washington and rattled U.S. allies.

of Staff, for a presentation designed to highlight the military leadership’s embrace of defense cuts. Panetta and Dempsey are expected to cast the plan as one that reflects President Barack Obama’s strategy for reorienting the military as it recovers from a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Prominent in the Obama plan is a renewed focus on Asia, where China’s rapid military modernization has raised worry in Washington and rattled U.S. allies. That, along with continued security threats in the Middle East — especially Iran — is why Panetta wants to invest more in certain air and naval assets. He also is putting a focus on cybersecurity and commando forces like those who killed Osama bin Laden

last May and who swooped into Somalia on Tuesday to rescue two hostages, including an American. The Pentagon has embraced a proposal by special operations chief Adm. Bill McRaven to send more manpower and equipment to worldwide “Theater Special Operations Commands” to strike back wherever threats arise, according to a senior defense official and other current and former U.S. officials briefed on the program. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the details of the proposal are still being worked out, including how fast the changes could be made. The stepped-up network would put top special operations personnel closer to the problems they face, better able to launch unilateral raids

like this week’s Somalia mission. McRaven also wants the newly invigorated commands to build new relationships with foreign armies to help them lead their own operations, the senior defense official said. To save money, Panetta would reduce the size of Army and Marine Corps ground forces and shrink the U.S. presence in Europe, while maintaining a commitment to building missile defenses in Europe. He also is expected to delay production of perhaps 100 or more of the F-35 Lightning II stealth attack planes that the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps are counting on to replace a portion of their aging aircraft fleets. The F-35 is the Pentagon’s most expensive weapons program. Nonetheless, it is among those that Panetta has publicly identified as central to a strategy for maintaining American air dominance.

Geithner: Obama won’t ask me to stay in a 2nd term Timothy Geithner said he doesn’t expect to serve a second term as Treasury secretary. He said he doesn’t think President Barack Obama would ask him to remain if Obama won re-election. “He’s not going to ask me to stay on, I’m pretty confident,” Geithner said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “I’m also confident he’s Timothy going to have Geithner the privilege of having another Treasury secretary.” Geithner is the only remaining top official on Obama’s original economics team. He had considered leaving in August after the congressional battle over raising the debt limit was resolved. Obama asked him to recon-

Geithner, who helped lead the administration’s response to the 2008 financial crisis, has been a frequent target of criticism in his three years at Treasury. Many accused him of siding too closely with Wall Street in the government bailout of the financial system. As the administration’s highest-profile economic figure, Geithner has been a lightning rod for criticism of its economic stewardship. Critics contend that government spending under Obama failed to keep unemployment from rising and gave the country record budget deficits.

Labor chief to push union organizing rules The chairman of the National Labor Relations Board plans to push for new rules that would give unions a boost in organizing members despite an outcry from Republicans and business groups who say the board is going too far. Mark Pearce said the rules would expand on sweeping changes the board approved last year. His comments come just a few weeks after

President Barack Obama bypassed the Senate to appoint three new members to the labor board. The move provoked controversy, with Republicans calling the recess appointments unconstitutional. Republicans had threatened to block confirmation votes on any board nominees, saying the NLRB was making too many unionfriendly decisions. The White House justified the appointments on grounds that Republicans were trying to paralyze the board.

JACK VIX SAYS: Homelessness is a mobile problem.

OUR OPINION

Pipeline

Politics of denial By denying a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, President Barack Obama may succeed in delaying until after November’s election the politically difficult decision of which loyal constituency to offend, big labor or environmental activists. What is more certain is that the political maneuvering to deny a permit for the controversial 1,600-mile pipeline from Canadian wells to Texas refineries has an immediate, deleterious effect: It costs America thousands of jobs. The president’s decision is contrary to consumer needs, ultimately contributing to higher energy prices, and misses an opportunity to reduce reliance on oil from unfriendly nations. The president says TransCanada may reapply for a permit along an alternative route, bypassing the Nebraska Sandhills, which some environmentalists claim could be harmed by oil leaks. Although the firm is expected to reapply, the delay probably means a final decision won’t be made until after the Nov. 6 election, according to The Washington Post. Environmentalists allege the pipeline to transport crude extracted from Canadian oil sands would contribute to climate change, and could leak. Given current technology, leaks are unlikely,

but certainly manageable if they occur, posing little ecological threat. Climate change is the all-encompassing canard invoked to deny nearly any industrial activity on a presumption of dire atmospheric consequences, which are far from proven. “The pipeline was proven to be environmentally safe,” says Karen Kerrigan, president of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council. While environmental harm is debatable, the White House’s rejection is certain to mean delay of thousands of new jobs. “The project was set to create 20,000 immediate jobs and 118,000 spinoff jobs in businesses of all sizes,” Kerrigan said. The president’s claim that the pipeline was being rushed is a limp excuse. When it suits the White House, federal officials have little trouble hastily approving much more suspect projects, particularly when they involve Obama campaign donors, such as the ill-fated Solyndra solar panel plant that failed, despite $535 million in federal loan guarantees. Clearly, the president can expedite when it suits him. We agree with Myron Ebell, of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, who says that by blocking construction the president makes

it clear “that when he says over and over again that ‘we can’t wait’ to create jobs and economic growth, it is merely hypocritical political posturing. Contrary to his phony rhetoric, President Obama’s real goals are to reduce energy supplies, raise energy prices for American consumers and destroy jobs.” Likewise, Business Roundtable President John Engler noted: “(T) he President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness declared it imperative that the United States adopt an ‘all-in’ approach toward energy development. One day later, the State Department walks away from a project that would create thousands of jobs, strengthen the economy and help America move toward energy security.” Candidate Obama may have misjudged the political fallout. The Laborers’ International Union of North America called his decision “politics at its worst.” The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers said the union remained hopeful the delay is temporary, but condemned “political deadlock” delaying creation of 20,000 construction and manufacturing jobs, $585 million in state and local taxes, $5 billion in property taxes and reduced energy dependence.

smart money Q: My husband is 62 and I am 59, and we owe $18,000 on our mortgage. We have an IRA worth $17,000, and we want to pay off the balance of the mortgage. What do you advise us to do? We just want rid of it. — S.K., via e-mail A: I understand where you’re going with this from a financial point of view, but i n my opinion you’re making a mistake. The IRA is sitBRUCE ting in a tax-sheltered environment and can stay there until whoever’s name it’s in reaches 70 1/2 years, when you have to start drawing it down. Most of the money will stay tax-sheltered for a long time. I’m assuming this IRA has

WILLIAMS

been around for a while and is earning at least as much as the mortgage is costing you. If that’s the case, you’d be better off to leave that in the tax-sheltered environment; if you take it out of the IRA now, undoubtedly there will be income tax to pay as well. I know you want that warm and fuzzy feeling of having your mortgage paid off, but the reality is that you have a compensating balance. In other words, you don’t really owe anything. You have $17,000 and you owe someone $18,000, and the net result is there really is no debt. If having the mortgage paid off makes you feel better, go ahead and cash it in, but I would not advise you to do that. Throwing money away is not my idea of a wonderful time, although I have been guilty of it from time to time. •

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government watchdog says U.S. taxpayers are still owed $132.9 billion that companies haven’t repaid from the financial bailout, and some of that will never be recovered. The bailout launched at the height of the financial crisis in September 2008 will continue to exist for years, says a report issued today by Christy Romero, the acting special inspector general for the $700 billion bailout. Some bailout programs, such as the effort to help homeowners avoid foreclosure by reducing mortgage payments, will last as late as 2017, costing the government an additional $51 billion or so.

The gyrating stock market has slowed the Treasury Department’s efforts to sell off its stakes in 458 bailed-out companies, the report says. They include insurer American International Group Inc., General Motors Co. and Ally Financial Inc. If Treasury plans to sell its stock in the three companies at or above the price where taxpayers would break even on their investment — $28.73 a share for AIG, $53.98 for GM — it might take a long time for the market to rebound to that level, the report says. AIG’s shares closed Wednesday at $25.31, while GM ended at $24.92. Ally isn’t publicly traded.

It will also be challenging for the government to get out of the 458 companies as the market remains volatile and banks struggle keep afloat in the tough economy, it says. Congress authorized $700 billion for the bailout of financial companies and automakers, and $413.4 billion was paid out. So far the government has recovered about $318 billion. The bailout is called the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. “TARP is not over,” Romero said in a statement. She said her office will maintain its commitment to protect taxpayers for the duration of the program. Treasury spokesman Matt

Anderson said the department “has made substantial progress winding down TARP and has already recovered more than 77 percent of the funds disbursed for the program, through repayments and other income.” “We’ll continue to balance the important goals of exiting our investments as soon as practicable and maximizing value for taxpayers,” Anderson said. Th e g ove r n m e n t h a s unwound its investments in four of the companies that received the most aid: Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Chrysler Group LLC and Chrysler Financial, the automaker’s old lending arm.

Stocks rise after solid economic reports, earnings NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks opened higher as solid economic news and strong corporate earnings highlighted the economy’s growing momentum. The government said today that orders to factories for long-lasting manufactured goods increased in December for the second straight month as companies bought more machinery and equipment.

City Continued from Page A1. quorum on Jan. 10 for a hearing on Mountain of Faith Ministries’ request for a special exception to operate a transitional housing facility for homeless people at the former ParkView Regional Medical Center on McAuley Drive and Grove Street. Mountain of Faith has since withdrawn its request. Winfield said he anticipates the board appointing a seventh member soon. “We’ve had a number of people volunteer, and we need to make sure they are residents of Vicksburg and to talk with them about the position,” he said. He said Jones volunteered for the position that pays nothing. “I’ve wanted to serve the community in some capacity, and now I have the opportunity and the time to give that my full attention,” said Jones. “I understand what it takes to be a commissioner on the board, and I have the legal background to apply the law. I think I can do it.” A native of Jones County, Jones moved to Vicksburg in 2006 and works as a paralegal for Jackson lawyer Michael R. Brown. He has an associate degree in paralegal technology from Hinds Community College and a bachelor’s in paralegal studies from Mississippi College. He is expected to receive a master’s in higher education administration from Mississippi College in May. In another matter, the board granted 30-day extensions to the owners of four flood-damaged homes on Williams Street in Ford Subdivision to raze them, and authorized city buildings and inspection department director Victor Gray-Lewis to demolish one other. “These are all homes on Williams Street that floated off their foundations during the (2011 Spring) flood,” Gray-Lewis said. Residents in the Ford Sub-

was up 4, or 0.3 percent, at 1,329. The Nasdaq composite average was up 10, or 0.4 percent, at 2,828. The number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose last week to a seasonally adjusted 377,000, up from a nearly four-year low the previous week. But the longer-term trend is pointing to a healthier job market. Applications have trended

down over the past few months. The four week average has declined to 377,500. When applications fall consistently below 375,000, it tends to signal that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate. Some economists say the figures suggest further job gains ahead.

Meeting Wednesday, the Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen: • Recognized employee anniversaries: Gregory Griffin, sewer department, five years; Harold “Dane” Lovell, water mains, 15 years. • Adopted the board minutes for Oct. 25 and Nov. 3. • Transferred $101,960 from the general fund services account to cover the January principal and interest payments for equipment bought through lease purchase: $38,700 to the ambulance account for payments on two ambulances and a rescue truck; $4,560 to the cemetery for equipment; $52,700 to the sewer department for a new dump truck; $6,000 to right of way for equipment. The board also approved transfers totaling $52,825 from the sewer mains department’s supplies and services funds for debt service on a new truck. The board also approved a resolution designating the lease purchased equipment tax-exempt. • Transferred $150,000 from the private donations account to the rent account in the general fund. The $150,000 was paid to the city last week by the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau as part its lease agreement for office space in

the old Levee Street Depot. • Authorized Mayor Pro Tem Michael Mayfield to sign agreements with the Mississippi Departments of Health and Environmental Quality to close 10 abandoned city water wells. City water treatment director Pat McGuffie said the health department and DEQ will pay to close the wells. The pumps and pipe removed from the wells will be sold as scrap, he said. • Approved a $150,000 tax exemption for Atwood Chevrolet Inc., which is remodeling its business. • Approved an agreement with the Central Mississippi Planning and Development District to upgrade the city’s comprehensive plan. • Authorized city clerk Walter Osborne to advertise for bids for a street sweeper and to paint 17 water wells. City purchasing director Tim Smith said the Federal Emergency Management Agency will reimburse the city for painting the water wells. • Declared the old softball lighting equipment replaced at Veteran Field surplus to sell for scrap. The city recently replaced the lights with brighter and more energy efficient lighting. • Authorized city buildings and inspections director Victor Gray-Lewis to remove a dilapidated building from property at 1001 Speed St.

• Granted a 45-day extension for the owners of a dilapidated building at 1000 Speed Street to repair it. • Approved a request from Triumphant Baptist Church, 124 Pittman Road, to march from Pittman Road to R.L. Chase Circle on Jan. 29 to celebrate the church’s 130th anniversary in the Kings community. • Rescinded a motion allocating $18,000 to the community fund for Four Seasons of the Arts, and approve a new allocation of $17,000. Osborne said the city board had budgeted $17,000 for the program, which will be held Feb. 14. The board allocated funds: Warren County Soil and Conservation District, $17,500; Vicksburg-Warren County Chamber of Commerce, $30,000; and $5,000 to the Vicksburg Warren Retirement Development program. • Approved paying $37,526 to Vicksburg Warren 911 to cover the city’s share of dispatchers’ salaries, benefits and insurance for January. • Approved the bank statements from Trustmark and BancorpSouth. • Approved the following reports: city sexton, privilege license, mayor and treasurer, tax collection, delinquent tax collection and detail budget. • Approved the claims docket.

division and Kings community were forced to leave their homes in early May as the Mississippi River rose to a historic 57.1 feet, 14.1 feet above flood stage, and nearly a foot above the Great Flood of 1927. The board in August approved a resolution waiving assessing penalties for six months to property owners in the 1 percent, or flood plain area, such as the Kings community west of North Washington Street and the Warrenton Place and Cedars School areas west of

U.S. 61 South, if the city razes the home. Gray-Lewis said the waiver does not apply to people hiring a contractor or doing their own demolition. He said the owners of homes at 123, 153, 173 and 199 Williams St. have applied for demolition permits to raze their homes. He said a demolition permit has been issued for 199 Williams St. “Most of these families are taking down these homes themselves,” he said. “We’ll watch these properties to make sure they’re making

progress. We may have to grant them more time beyond the 30 days.” He recommended keeping the house at 114 Williams St. on the demolition list. He said a records search indicated the home’s owners had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Federal Emergency Management Agency after the 2008 flood and did not qualify for assistance after the 2011 flood.

Manufacturing conglomerate 3M rose 1.5 percent after its fourth-quarter profit beat Wall Street’s estimates. Caterpillar rose 3 percent after beating analysts’ estimates last quarter. The heavy equipment maker said it expect to do the same this year. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 52 points, or 0.4 percent, at 12,809. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index

Center Continued from Page A1. shows us what we should be doing. We should be going out looking for conventions.” Only four of the board’s 10 voting members, fewer than the required six for a quorum, attended the meeting, so the board could take no action. Powell’s comments came during a discussion of the center’s first quarter of fiscal 2012, which ran from October to December. She said the convention center hosted 25 conventions in fiscal 2011, adding the center’s average revenue from conventions is about $6,500. “Our net revenue ranges from $800 to $26,000, depending on the convention,” she

said. Powell said meetings and conferences were the largest portion of the center’s events, accounting for 42 percent of the events at the center in 2011, but generated only 8 percent of the revenue. Banquets accounted for 21 percent of the center’s business and 18 percent of the revenue. Theatrical and Broadway productions accounted for 10 percent of the events and 11 percent of the revenue. In a related matter, convention center business manager Donna Gray said revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $117,750, which was about 98 percent of the $119,750 budgeted for the period. She said catering revenue was $35,923, which was 43 percent more than pro-

jected for the quarter. The center’s total expenses for the first three months of fiscal 2012 were $259,728, about 11 percent less than the projected $292,402. Revenue from the 2 percent lodging tax collected by the city on occupied beds in the first quarter totaled $117,831, or 10 percent higher than the projected $107,258. Gray said Vicksburg City Auditorium revenue for the first three months was $29,196, or 4 percent under the projected $30,393. Part of the reason for the shortfall, she said, was the cancellation of one large event and poor attendance at another. She added the auditorium’s total expenses were $79,912, or 3 percent higher than the $74,513 projected for the quarter.

In other action, the board: • Heard from administration and special events coordinator Sue Bagby that the center will hold a Black History Symposium and Cultural Expo Feb. 17 and 18, starting with workshops for fourth-grade students from the Vicksburg Warren School District On Feb. 18, she said, Shape Up Vicksburg will conduct a walk to the U.S. Colored Troops monument in the Vicksburg Military Park, and there will be an international tasting fiesta at the convention center. • Powell said ticket sales for TNA Wrestling were less than expected, but said the drop in sales was partially because of competition from college football. She said ticket sales for comedian Ron

A7 White have been better than expected. The four board members who attended Wednesday’s meeting were Cliff Whitney III, Gwen Edris, Brenda Love and Benny Terrell. Board members Bobby Bailess and Eddie Monsour said they forgot about the meeting. “I’m embarrassed,” Bailess said. Board members Alice Hebler and Skipper Guizerix were out of town and unable to attend. Attempts to contact board members Tom Pharr and Derek Adams were unsuccessful. Troy Thorn, who was attending his first meeting as executive director, told the group he is glad to be at the center.

Homeless Continued from Page A1. homes,” said Tina Hayward, chair of Vicksburg Warren County Partnership to Prevent Homelessness, an umbrella group for several state and local government entities and nonprofits that assist in the count. One is Mountain of Faith Ministries, which Hayward heads up and seeks to build a transitional facility to expand the scope of its Women’s Restoration Shelter in Vicksburg. This year’s increase in the local homeless population continues a three-year trend. Last year, 117 were counted. In 2009, 75 were counted. Hayward said 81 percent of this year’s count were adults. Continuums of Care groups such as MOFM are required to take a census only every other year. Volunteers swept through agencies known to have assisted homeless people with either food or necessities, adding to the human total on the street.

Online • 2012 Housing Inventory Count and Point-inTime County of Homeless Persons guidebook http://hudhre.info/ documents/2012HI CandPITGuidance.pdf Hayward and first-time volunteer Tamera Dildine visited We Care Community Center, a meal and necessities provider, and factored in seven people reported to them as recent food recipients into the final tally. “If a 21-year-old comes in the shelter and she’s getting a divorce and has nowhere to stay, then she’s homeless,” Hayward said, adding the local homeless population likes to congregate and hide — against the norm seen in other regions of the country. “In the (Rocky) Mountain states, they’d rather just

sleep out in the open,” Hayward said. Volunteers searched areas where homeless were likeliest to gather, such as North Washington Street, Marcus Bottom, spots around Elizabeth Circle, Farmer Street and Grove Street. “Then, you have some people who just like to live in their vehicles,” said Dildine. Consecutive counts for 2011 and 2012 were taken to keep funding alive for a transitional home, which would be the city’s fourth homeless shelter. The others are the women’s shelter, River City Rescue Mission and Haven House. Mountain of Faith has dropped a bid to ask the city to rezone the old ParkView Regional Medical Center on McAuley Drive to allow transitional housing for the homeless, citing opposition to the plan by the building’s owners.

Jobs Continued from Page A1. percent for the month, up from a revised 10.9 percent in November. Mississippi’s rate was 9.9 percent, up two-tenths from November. Adjusted for seasonal factors in the workplace, the state’s rate was 10.4 percent, down a tenth. The rate was 9.8 percent in December 2010. Nationally, the unadjusted rate for December was 8.3 percent, up a tenth. Labor force totals shrank in December, to 18,640 from 18,710. The number of unemployed was 2,320 for the month, up from 2,280. Statewide, the number of people listed unemployed rose to

133,300 after two months of fewer unemployed. It was 129,800 in November. Most job growth came in the trade, transportation and utilities and manufacturing sectors. In Vicksburg, the arrivals of two national chains were announced this month. A Chick-Fil-A restaurant is expected to open next to the Halls Ferry Station strip mall behind Walgreens by early next year. Clothing retailer T.J. Maxx has leased space in the former Kroger store on Pemberton Square Boulevard and could open in May, according to lead developers. Rankin and Clay coun-

ties registered the state’s lowest and highest respective jobless rates in December. Rankin was at 6.2 percent, down from a revised 6.1 percent last month. Clay was at 19.1 percent, up from a revised 18.7 percent. Claiborne, Sharkey and Issaquena counties’ jobless rates all rose in December. Claiborne’s rose to 15.9 percent, up four-tenths from November. Sharkey’s was 13.2 percent, up from a revised 10.8. Issaquena’s jumped to 12.2 percent, from 10.3 percent.

Sidelines Nadal defeats Federer in semis

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in an Australian Open semifinal today, the longtime rivals playing with the intensity they normally display when they meet in Grand Slam finals. Though the stars who have met in eight Grand Slam finals were on the same side of the draw for the first time at a major since 2005, they played as if the title were at stake. This time, though, only Nadal will have the opportunity to win another championship — on Sunday when he plays the winner of Friday’s semifinal between defending champion Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Maria Sharapova avenged her Wimbledon loss to Petra Kvitova and returned to the Australian Open final for the first time since winning the last of her three major titles here in 2008. Sharapova broke Kvitova’s serve in the last game to finish off a 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 victory and set up a championship match against Victoria Azarenka. The third-seeded Azarenka ousted defending champion Kim Clijsters in a semifinal earlier today to reach her first Grand Slam final. Sharapova lost to secondranked Kvitova in the Wimbledon final last year and was struggling to hold her serve against the 21-yearold Czech left-hander in the third set, when she served five double-faults.

Mississippi State forward Arnett Moultrie dribbles past LSU center Justin Hamilton Wednesday. Mississippi State

won 76-71. Moultrie tied a career-high with 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Bulldogs fend off Tiger rally By David Brandt The Associated Press STARKVILLE — LSU was supposed to have the big boys to make life tough for Mississippi State’s Arnett Moultrie. The Bulldogs’ relentlessly efficient star didn’t even look fazed. Moultrie tied a career-high with 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and No. 18 Mississippi State held off a late LSU charge to win 76-71 on Wednesday night. “I really felt good during the shootaround,” Moultrie said. “When that happens I know I’m going to have a good game.” Moultrie had 19 points in the second half as the Bulldogs built on a 32-31 halftime lead. The 6-foot-11 junior made 10 of 18 shots from the field and grabbed six offensive rebounds, scoring on his usual array of alley-oops, putbacks and post moves. “We got the ball in there to him a lot in the first half, but he missed some shots,” Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury said. “He really found a way to finish in the second half.” Jalen Steele scored 15 points — hitting 3 of 4 from 3-point range — and Rodney Hood added 13 for Mississippi State (17-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference), which outrebounded LSU 46-26. Dee Bost had nine points, seven rebounds and 10

second half and appeared to have the game in hand after taking a 68-59 lead with 1:50 remaining. But then LSU went on a stunning run from 3-point range. Hickey drilled back-to-back jumpers from behind the arc to pull LSU within 68-65 with

54 seconds remaining. Ralston Turner hit another 3 to make it 70-68 and Hickey hit another that bounced off the backboard to pull to 72-71 with 15 seconds left. “We had the game under control and then they made some great threes,” Stansbury said. The only thing that saved the Bulldogs was a 6-for-6 performance at the free throw line during the final minutes and a defensive stand on the last possession that ended with Moultrie and Bost knocking the ball away from Hickey. Steele scored a team-high 10 points in the first half as Mississippi State took a 32-31 lead at halftime. LSU scored first after the break on Hamilton’s layup, but the Bulldogs scored the next 11 points to take a 43-33 lead. LSU is one of the few teams in the SEC that appeared to have the size to match up against the Bulldogs, especially since 6-9 freshman Johnny O’Bryant played for the first time in five games after breaking a bone in his non-shooting (left) hand. O’Bryant played with a wrap on the hand, scoring six points and grabbing four rebounds. But nobody could stop Moultrie, who leads the SEC with 12 double-doubles, and in rebounding, averaging more than 11 per game.

HATTIESBURG — Jonathan Mills led five players in double figures as Southern Miss used balanced scoring and a big first half to beat East Carolina 72-60 Wednesday night in a Conference USA game. Mills led the Golden Eagles (18-3, 5-1 C-USA) with 13 points. LaShay Page scored 12, Neil Watson 11, and Darnell Dodson and Torye Pelham 10 apiece. Maurice Bolden grabbed 11 rebounds for USM. Miguel Paul scored 21 points for East Carolina, and Darrius Morrow and Eric Straughn scored 14 points each. But no other Pirate scored more than five points as East Carolina (9-10, 0-6) remained winless in conference play. “Losing weighs on everybody,” East Carolina coach Jeff Lebo said. “I told them no matter what, whether you have won six in a row or lost six in a row the only thing you can do is you can only focus on going forward.” The Pirates actually led 15-9 with 9:55 left in the first half, but Southern Miss went on a 29-8 run after Paul left with his second foul to lead 38-23 at halftime. The Golden Eagles scored the last eight points of the half, including five by Pelham, who also fed Cedrick Jenkins for a 3-pointer that started the 8-0 run. The win helped the Golden Eagles keep pace with Memphis at the top spot in the C-USA standings. The Golden Eagles play Central Florida on Saturday and host Memphis next Wednesday. Tipoff for Saturday at UCF is 6 p.m.

Memphis 73, Rice 51 Chris Crawford scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Memphis to a victory over Rice in a game that saw multiple players ejected for fighting. Antonio Barton added 11 points and Tarik Black had 10, hitting all five of his shots before he was ejected during a skirmish under the Tigers basket with 7:21 left in the game.

A siren song that tempts athletes and coaches alike In sports, athletes and coaches are all after one thing. Not championships. Of course, they’re after that. They’re all after one more. One more title. One more season. One more game. One more game-winning shot. It becomes an addiction, seeking one more. It is the antithesis of knowing when to walk away, bowing out gracefully. When the cup is empty, it is never refilled. It was an addiction for Brett Favre, who heard the voice of one more far too often. Injury and age tend to quiet the voice and, for Favre, silenced it forever. NBA legend Michael Jordan couldn’t resist the siren song of one more. He came back with the Washing-

ton Wizards in 2001, looking every bit the old man he was, out of his element playing a young man’s game. Same thing with Magic Johnson’s abortive comeback with the Los Angeles Lakers. Father Time is merciless to hero and villain alike. But sometimes, one more has something to do with one’s life. Joe Paterno, who died on

Sunday at 85, was the classic follower of one more. He knew what awaited him on the other side of coaching, just as it did for Alabama legend Paul “Bear” Bryant, who succumbed just three weeks after retiring as coach. Penn State tried to push Paterno out the door in 2004, but the legendary coach refused to go. Can you blame him? His life was wrapped into coaching and without the whistle, the early wakeup call, the film study and team meetings, he felt adrift. When the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal broke, Paterno’s firing was a matter of if, rather than when. With his identity so intertwined with his career, it was little wonder that Paterno slipped

away. If politics is the art of the possible, sports is the art of the temporal. Nothing lasts forever. A championship’s glow lasts a day or so and subsides quickly, like a meteorite screaming to Earth. Trophies gather dust and fade with age. Rings can be pawned in desperate times. Knees, ankles and backs can’t ignore the weight of too many carries, shots or yards. Some are able to ignore the call of one more. After back-to-back Super Bowl titles in 1997-98, Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway hung up his cleats. After two titles, he couldn’t have written a better closing paragraph to a Hall of Fame career.

The only way to defeat the voice of one more is to realize that life is far more than time spent on a sideline, swinging a bat, shooting baskets or blocking and tackling. One has to live in the moment and realize that moment moves on. As we all do eventually. If not, the quest to stick around as long as possible consumes, dragging its victim down like the suction of a sinking ship sliding into the deep. Sports might be a metaphor for life, but it isn’t life itself. •

NBA Gordon rejects Hornets’ extension offer NEW ORLEANS — Guard Eric Gordon has turned down a fouryear extension offer from the New Orleans Hornets, according to a person familiar with the situation. Gordon, who turned 23 last month, came to New Orleans as a key component of a multiplayer trade shortly before the regular season that sent four-time AllStar point guard Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers. Under NBA rules, the Hornets had until midnight Wednesday to come to terms with Gordon on an extension in order to prevent him from becoming a restricted free agent after this season.

Thunder top Hornets for 10th win in 11 games OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder have finished a stretch of beating up on the NBA’s weaker teams. Kevin Durant scored 25 points to lead the Thunder to their 10th win in 11 games, 101-91 over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night. Jarrett Jack scored 20 points to lead New Orleans, which lost its ninth straight — eight of those losses coming by 10 or less points. Gustavo Ayon, who came in averaging just 3.2 points, added 16 and Carl Landry had 15.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Jan. 26 1913 — Jim Thorpe gives up his track medals from the 1912 Olympic games as a result of his having been a professional. He had been paid $25 for playing in a semi-pro baseball game. 1986 — The Chicago Bears win their first NFL championship since 1963 by setting a Super Bowl-record for points scored in defeating the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX. 1991 — Houston guard Vernon Maxwell joins Wilt Chamberlain, David Thompson and George Gervin as the only players in NBA history to score 30 points or more in a quarter. Maxwell scores 30 of his career-high 51 points in the fourth period to help Houston beat Cleveland 103-97. 1997 — The Green Bay Packers, behind big plays, beat the New England Patriots 35-21 in Super Bowl XXXI in New Orleans. Brett Favre finds Andre Rison for a 54-yard touchdown on the Packers’ second offensive play, then throws an 81-yard TD pass to Antonio Freeman in the second quarter. Desmond Howard, the first special teams MVP, scores on a 99-yard kickoff return to put away the Patriots.

Springsteen set to perform at Jazz Fest The last time Bruce Springsteen performed in New Orleans it was less than a year after Hurricane Katrina hit, and “The Boss” moved thousands to tears at Jazz Fest by belting out such lyrics as “How can a poor man stand such times as these?” Springsteen is returning to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival this April. But this time, things will be different in a city that is healing from the devastating 2005 hurricane, according to Jazz Fest producer Quint Davis. “The last time he walked on that stage this was a city in ruins,” Davis said Tuesday, recallBruce Springsteen ing an emotionally fragile audience with hands in the air and tears in their eyes as Springsteen sang the lyrics to “City in Ruins”. “Now this is a city that’s alive. It’s a city of triumph,” Davis said. “We’ve come a long way.” Springsteen is the latest addition to a Jazz Fest lineup that already includes The Eagles, a reunion of the Beach Boys, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Foo Fighters, Zac Brown Band, John Mayer, The Neville Brothers, Al Green, Herbie Hancock, Ne-Yo and My Morning Jacket. In all, hundreds of acts are to perform on roughly a dozen stages during Jazz Fest, which spans two weekends from April 27 through May 6 at the city’s Fair Grounds Race Course.

Embarrassing NYC ’SHCOOL’ sign replaced An embarrassing misspelling of “school” is gone from the street outside a New York City school building. Utility workers used heavy machinery to ground up the wrongly placed “H” and “C” in the “SHCOOL X-NG” sign Tuesday. The correction was made a day after the New York Post reported the spelling error. The words were created with industrial “textured tape” that permanently sticks to the asphalt. The blunder occurred when a contractor ripped up the street for utility work and replaced the existing markings.

Jefferson’s Monticello spotlights slaves By Zinie Chen Sampson The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — When Thomas Jefferson died, scores of slaves were sold from his Monticello plantation to settle his debts. Peter Fossett, 11, was among them, recalling that he was “born and reared as free, not knowing that I was a slave, then suddenly, at the death of Jefferson, put on an auction block and sold to strangers.” Fossett’s story is one of many included in several new projects launching this winter to shed light on the slaves who lived and worked at Monticello. A website launching Friday will showcase oral histories of the slaves in an online project called Getting Word: African American Families of Monticello.” An exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. called “Slavery at Jefferson’s Monticello: Paradox of Liberty also opens Friday and will weave in some excerpts from the Getting Word project. And an outdoor exhibit, Landscape of Slavery: Mulberry Row at Monticello, will open Feb. 17 at the Monticello estate in Charlottesville, Va. “We don’t shy away from slavery, we talk about slavery because we know that it’s fundamentally important to understanding Jefferson and understanding America,” said Susan Stein, a senior curator at Monticello. “In this time period, 20 percent of America’s population was enslaved, and 38 percent of Virginia’s population in 1790 were slaves.” Expanding the reach of the oral history project is among Monticello’s ongoing efforts to give more prominence to the role of slaves as well as indentured servants and others who worked on the 5,000-acre plantation owned by America’s third president. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, and although he owned slaves, he called slavery “an abominable crime.” Because the houses on Mulberry Row were made of wood, little physical evidence remains of what once included more than 20 buildings. About 130 slaves to 140 slaves worked at Monticello in any given year, including those who worked on Mulberry Row, which grew from five buildings in 1770 to as many as 23 buildings in 1790. Jefferson kept meticulous farm books and lists of his human property, including names of the slaves and what jobs they performed. The Mulberry Row exhibit will feature digital renderings and animations to help visitors better understand plantation life, including smartphone applications that will show what missing buildings looked like, Stein said. Curators are also building mini-exhibits at key Mulberry Row sites, including one on the plantation’s nail-making business that includes related artifacts from that period. Jefferson “had enslaved boys 10 to 16 years old making nails in the nail shop,” Stein said, and tens of thousands of nails

One of the original structures on Mulberry Row at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello estate from the site were sold to neighbors and stores. Future components of the ongoing Mulberry Row project will include restoration of the estate’s mountaintop roads and two remaining original structures, the stable and weaver’s cottage. A couple of buildings, including a slave dwelling, also will be reconstructed, Stein said. After Jefferson died in 1826, all of his property was sold to repay his massive debts. While Jefferson’s will freed some slaves, others were auctioned off.

His father was freed upon Jefferson’s death, but he was sold with his mother and siblings

to a Charlottesville-area merchant and farmer, Col. John R. Jones. Fossett knew how to read and had taught others to do so, he recalled decades later. Fossett’s new owner threatened to whip him if he caught him with a book, but he continued to educate himself and others in secret. His family and others finally purchased his freedom 23 years later. The Getting Word project began in 1993, with historian Cinder Stanton finding descendants of the plantation’s black families and recording interviews with them about their histories. Since then, Monticello has obtained interviews with 170 descendants, including those of Jefferson and slave Sally Hemings, and traced their families’ paths from Monti-

As for Fossett, he ended up operating a prominent Cincinnati catering business with his brother, assisted in the Underground Railroad and served as a church pastor for more than three decades. Fossett returned to his childhood home in 1900. “Upon his return,” according to a newspaper account, Fossett “frequently insisted that he now awaited the approach of death with extreme satisfaction, having seen all of this life’s pleasures that heart might hope for.” He died six months later, and more than 1,500 people, both black and white, attended his funeral.

Birthday party-turned-shopping spree miffs Mom Dear Abby: My 12-yearold daughter, “Mandy,” was invited to a friend’s birthday party along with 12 other girls. They were told to meet at the mall where they’d “go shopping” together, then go for a sleepover afterward. The birthday girl told her friends to bring money as gifts. Well, she raked in more than $300 then proceeded to spend it all on herself while her friends stood and watched. Mandy returned home the next day and told me that although the girl spent the money on herself, her mom did buy them each a beverage. Abby, I gave my daughter $20 to go to the party, thinking the money would be for all of their fun — not the birthday girl’s financial gain. I thought your readers might want to learn from my mistake. These days, a birthday party may not be a party at all! — Horrified in Wichita Dear Horrified: While this may have been shocking to you, the kind of party you have

described may be acceptable to your daughter and her circle of friends. The birthday girl’s intentions could have been made more clear — she requested money as gifts and instructed everyone to meet at the mall. However, they accepted the invitation on her terms. The sleepover may have been the party. I hope they were fed after the mall crawl because they must have been starving. Dear Abby: My dad died unexpectedly last year, three months before my 18th birthday. He had been kicked out of the house a few months prior to that because he was a horrible alcoholic who destroyed everything he ever

TWEEN 12 & 20

BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There is a strong possibility that you might experience a rather unusual turn of events. When trying to help out another, the party in question could end up doing more for you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Big rewards could come in small packages, so don’t be too quick to reject a job that doesn’t pay well. If you do good work, more is likely to be in the pipeline. Aries (March 21-April 19) — You’re not only quick on your feet, you’re fast when working with your brain as well. Don’t let anyone set the pace for you — disengage yourself from others and operate on your own. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Because you’ll be able to handle most any dilemma with deduction and intuition, you should resolve a problem with accuracy and lightning speed. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Get out and mingle. Not only will you enjoy doing so, you’re likely to meet someone new. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Several unique opportunities having to do with your work or career might present themselves. The chance to take advantage of them is fleeting; don’t dawdle. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Follow your inclinations if someone is constantly on your mind. There could be some very good reasons why you need to touch base with this person soon. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your ability to pick up on the thoughts of others and use them in advantageous ways will come in handy. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’re likely to get an opportunity to win someone important over to your side by objectively discussing a matter with him or her that is of mutual interest. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Brainstorming with co-workers could pay off in spades. Ingenious ideas for increasing productivity and lowering stress could be the result. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Unusual circumstances could once again involve you with someone whom you recently met whom you’d like to get to know better. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An important matter can be resolved to your satisfaction, but it might require the full use of your imagination and resourcefulness.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and have a full-time job, but I still live at home with my mother. I pay her room and board because she doesn’t have an abundance of cash, so the money I give her helps pay the bills. Two years ago, I was dating a guy I cared for, but for some reason my mother didn’t like him. The reason was his appearance. He had extra-long hair and a shaggy beard. He also wore jeans, cowboy boots and a scroungy leather jacket. Instead of a hat, he wore a red kerchief tied around his forehead. Randy left town because of a run-in with the police, and they told him that if he left town they wouldn’t press charges. He did. Last week, Randy came by my work, and I almost died when I saw him. His hair was a lot shorter than it once was. Gone was the hair on his face and his cowboy clothes. He wore a nice shirt and neat slacks. He took me to lunch. I’ve been out with him three times since he’s been back home. My mother is not aware that I’m seeing Randy again. Since I’m soon to be 20, I realize that I don’t need permission from Mom to date Randy, but I don’t want to upset her. Should I continue seeing Randy without telling Mom that I am, or should I tell her and possibly make her upset? — Sheila, Carson City, Nev. Sheila: Tell Mom that Randy has returned to Carson City, and she will be surprised when she sees him because the “redneck” appearance he once had is gone. He now has a new look and a new attitude. Have Randy and you take Mom out for dinner so she can see this for herself. It is better that you inform Mom about Randy rather than having her hear about it elsewhere. Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, and my fiance is 21. We are both high school graduates, have full-time jobs and have been together for over two years. My fiance wants us to get married, but I’m not sure I’m ready to be a full-time wife. I’d like us to live together for a year or so to make sure that we are truly compatible. My parents are divorced, and my mom is with her third husband. My fiance said that he read somewhere that couples who live together before eventually getting married actually have a higher rate of divorce than couples who marry without having lived together before they got married. Do you have any information on this subject? — Nameless, Vicksburg, Miss. Nameless: It’s possible that your fiance was referring to a study conducted by the Psychology Department at the University of Nebraska. The study found that the overall divorce rate is 48 percent, but it was 58 percent among couples who lived together first. The reason, according to researchers, was that live-together-first couples simply couldn’t adjust to the total commitment of marriage after living with a partial commitment during their previous arrangement. • Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service.

cared about. He froze to death, alone. My boyfriend is my soul mate. He has been my only source of support since Dad died. Mom ignores everything and has left me alone to go through all of this, spending my Social Security on vacations we could never have afforded before. My best friend is away at school in a different state and I’m more alone than ever. How am I supposed to survive all this alone? — Always Alone Dear Alone: Please accept my sympathy for the tragic loss of your father, who paid the ultimate price for his addiction. You write well and are obviously intelligent. If you’re still in school, counseling may be available for you if there is a counselor on staff. Because your mother is emotionally unavailable and your best friend is out of state, your friend’s mother might be willing to listen and advise you during this difficult period. Dear Abby: My mother-in-

law is a widow. She says she no longer wants to be addressed as Mrs. because she is not married. I thought that once married you were always a Mrs. unless you choose to be a Ms. Isn’t it proper for a widow to be addressed as Mrs.? — Daughter-in-Law in Washington State Dear Daughter-in-Law: As a widow your mother-in-law can continue to use her married name — or adopt any name she chooses. If she prefers not to be called Mrs. her wishes should be respected. Some widows prefer to be called “Mrs. John Jones” for the rest of their lives, while others do not. If your motherin-law prefers “Ms. Betty Jones,” that’s fine, too. It’s a personal choice. •

No medicine yet invented has the benefits of exercise Dear Doctor K: I just turned 40, and I have finally accepted that I need to make regular exercise part of my life. I’m in pretty good physical shape, if slightly overweight. How much exercise do I need to stay healthy and maybe drop a few pounds? Dear Reader: It’s easier than you might think. It also depends on your goals. You’ve probably heard that regular exercise protects you against many of the major diseases. I’m talking about heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression and even some cancers. When I tell my patients this, they often get a certain expression on their faces that says, “Not this exercise-is-good-for-you stuff again.” In other words, I’m boring them. So the next thing I do is ask them this question: “Do you know just how much protection you get from regular exercise?” If they answer at all, they usually guess that exercise reduces their risk by about 10 percent. In fact, regular exercise can reduce your risk of developing the most common kind of diabetes by 70 percent, for example. There is no medicine yet invented that can give you such protection. In other words, you can do more to protect yourself from diabetes than your doctor can do for you. So the first important thing about regular exercise is how much good it can do for you. The second important thing is how little exercise you need to get powerful health benefits. How much do you need to achieve your goals — “to stay healthy and maybe drop a few pounds”? I usually “prescribe” at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, or 15 minutes of intense exercise, at least five times a week. If you wanted to run a marathon, my advice would be different. What qualifies as “moderate exercise”? Your heart rate should be at 50 percent to 75 percent of your maximum heart rate the whole time you are exercising. What’s your max? The standard formula is 220 beats per minute minus your age in years. So, a healthy 40-yearold like you would use 180 beats per minute as an initial heart-rate maximum. This formula doesn’t work if you’re on a medicine that slows your heart rate, like a beta blocker. Another way of defining “moderate exercise” is walking briskly, at 3 to 4 miles per hour. That’s like walking 1.5 to 2 miles in 30 minutes. Furthermore, you don’t need to get into sweat clothes, and you don’t need to do all 30 minutes of exercise at one time. For example, suppose it takes you 15 minutes of brisk walking to get from where you park your car to your workplace. You’ve done your daily exercise just by walking to and from work.

ASK DOCTOR K Dr. Anthony L.

Komaroff

If you want to lose more than a few pounds, exercise longer than 30 minutes a day — or exercise more intensively, getting your heart rate above 75 percent of your max (for this you will need to be in sweats). And cut down on the calories. After talking with your doctor, start slowly and build up gradually. Above all, stick with it! •
