Gaming, sales tax zap city’s income By Steve Sanoski ssanoski@vicksburgpost.com

HONESTY bEST Arnold Palmer has advice for Tiger b1

Five months into the fiscal year, gaming and sales tax collections in Vicksburg — which account for nearly half of the city’s operating budget — are each down by nearly 8 percent compared to fiscal year 2009. While Mississippi’s 30 statelicensed casinos collectively posted a 2.7 percent increase

in winnings from gamblers in February compared to a year ago, it appears Vicksburg’s five casinos did not fare as well as others in the state. Gaming tax revenues paid to Vicksburg, Warren County and the local school district were down by 21.9 percent in February — to $658,569, from $843,487. The city’s 18.5 percent share of sales taxes collected in the city limits

netted $556,997 in February, down from $606,755 in February 2009. Fiscal year to date, sales tax collections are at approximately $3.18 million, down 7.65 percent. The city’s cut of local gaming tax collections through the same time period is approximately $2.6 million, down 7.7 percent. “We went into this budget cycle knowing that revenues were going to be down significantly. We made the adjust-

ments, and we continue to watch our revenues closely each month,” Mayor Paul Winfield said Wednesday. The city’s operating budget is about $31.5 million for the year that ends Sept. 30. Under Winfield’s direction, the city has taken steps in recent months to rein in spending, including limiting capital purchases by department heads and travel outside the city.

State budget in limbo

City Accountant Doug Whittington anticipated gaming and sales tax shortfalls when he drew up the budget last year, but so far the collections have been even slightly lower than he expected. The city’s budget projects gaming tax revenues of $6.77 million this fiscal year, and sales tax revenues of $7.28 million. Gaming tax

Dianne Davis, a school crossing guard with the Vicksburg Police Department, uses an umbrella to protect herself from morning rain as she operates the traffic light at Bowmar Avenue and Drummond Street this

morning. Rain remained in the forecast for the rest of today, but it was expected to clear out by Friday, and the National Weather Service said sunny skies are on tap for the weekend.

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers missed their budget-writing deadline Wednesday night, but they weren’t fretting about it. Leaders say they’ll renew efforts to either extend the three-month session or to let lawmakers leave for a few weeks and return in late April to finish the spending plan. The new fiscal year begins July 1. Some lawmakers say there’s no point in finishing a budget now because the state could receive $187 million from the federal government in the next few weeks. Two-thirds of the House and Senate must agree on new budget deadlines. If the regular session ends with no budget, Gov. Haley Barbour will have to call a special session.

Nissan lays bets vans boost Canton production By Maria Burnham The Associated Press CANTON — Nissan is betting millions of dollars and five years of research that the commercial van market in North America will finally let its Madison County auto manufacturing plant live up to its full production potential. The company halted production of the Quest minivan this year, reassigned 600 workers from other areas of the plant and just completed a $118 million expansion and modification of the facility to accommodate the new vans, which should be in produc-

Grand Gulf gets good marks for safety in 2009 By Danny Barrett Jr. dbarrett@vicksburgpost.com Grand Gulf Nuclear Station earned favorable ratings from federal regulators for safety performance in 2009, based on an annual safety and preparedness inspection. Mississippi’s only nuclear plant operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For three-quarters of the year, inspections of the Claiborne County facil-

ity showed very low safety significance and all performance indicators at levels requiring no additional NRC oversight. Those findings for the second, third and fourth quarters put the plant in the highest possible safety grouping in the NRC’s colorcoded system. Colors start with green and descend to white, yellow or red in the order of safety significance in various ratings. Those areas include incident response, integrity of the

barriers between radioactive fuel inside the reactor and the public, emergency planning and limiting radioactive exposure to workers. A first quarter inspection showed a white-coded performance indicator, tied to an “additional supplemental inspection” in February 2009, according to the NRC’s letter to Entergy Operations Inc. The extra inspection was done as a result of the agency’s response to two shutdowns during the fourth quarter of 2008, when four

BANNERS

occurred altogether. Equipment failure caused three of that year’s interruptions in power production, according to the NRC’s senior resident inspector when the 2008 assessment was released. The unit is returning to full power after a feed-pump trip March 8 halted production of electricity, an incident that did not affect service to Entergy customers but is sure to affect next year’s federal inspection. Output had risen to 99 percent of capacity Wednesday.

Results of a separate survey dealing with safety culture at Grand Gulf and four other Entergy-operated nuclear plants in Louisiana, Arkansas and Nebraska will be discussed Wednesday at NRC regional offices in Arlington, Texas. A $574 million upgrade to the plant’s power generating capacity — making it the nation’s largest single nuclear reactor — was approved by the Mississippi

Sex offender held for Texas officials A sex offender was in the Warren County Jail today on a Texas warrant for failure to register.

A Vicksburg man arrested Tuesday for embezzlement under contract was charged this morning on a similar offense. Randy Lundy, 53, no address given, is accused of not returning a Bosch electric hammer drill valued at $1,500 and a 3/4-inch hammer drill bit valued at $40 after renting them on Sept. 2 from Sheffield Rental Inc., 1255 U.S. 61 South, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said. “The drill nor the bit

crime & fire from staff reports

have been recovered,” said Stewart. Lundy was arrested Tuesday after being extradited from Milwaukee and accused of not returning a tractor valued at $20,000 after renting it Aug. 15 from The Home Depot, 50 Halls Ferry Park Road, Stewart said. The tractor was recovered in Transylvania, La., on Nov. 9. Lundy remained in the Warren County Jail today without bond.

Vicksburg man jailed in residential burglary A Vicksburg man was arrested Wednesday for a residential burglary reported in the 2000 block of Martin Luther King Drive Friday. Marvel Hunter, 18, 1840 Martin Luther King Drive, is accused of breaking into a home and taking a purse containing $150 and an Xbox 360 game console, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said. The game system was recovered an hour after the burglary was reported. After being identified by the victim, Hunter was arrested at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday while walking on Martin Luther King at Webb Street, Stewart said. He was being held at the Issaquena County jail without bond because he had been out on two counts of statutory rape of a child younger than 14, Stewart said.

ACs, washer, dryer missing on Walnut Appliances were reported missing in a home burglary in the 1900 block of Walnut Street Wednesday, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said. At 1:22 p.m., three 8,000BTU window air-conditioners valued at $499 each, a washer and dryer set valued at $600 total and a 55-gallon fish tank valued at $100 were reported stolen.

Jackson man pleads guilty in child’s starvation death McCOMB (AP) — A man charged in the apparent starvation death of a 2-year-old boy pleaded guilty to manslaughter and child neglect shortly before his trial was to begin in Pike County Circuit Court.

Judge David Strong sentenced Thomas Kelly Tuesday to the maximum 10 years in prison on the felonious child neglect charge, but withheld sentencing on manslaughter until the case of Kelly’s codefendant is resolved.

Panel scolds Judge Wingate for drawn-out judgment JACKSON (AP) — A federal appeals court has scolded Chief U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate for taking more than six years to enter a final judgment in a civil case. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circ u i t Co u r t of Appeals commented about Wingate in its decision affirming the 2002 jury award of more Judge Henry Wingate than $1.3 million to Jimmy Ford of Brandon, in a lawsuit filed against his then-employer, Diversified Technology Inc. In a footnote to its decision released earlier this month, the panel said, “the district court sat on the verdict for 6 1/2 years before it entered a judgment. It is truly regrettable that the plaintiff has been denied his just recovery for these several years by the lack of judicial diligence.” Wingate acknowledged the mistake, but he said he thought the judgment had been entered in the case. He said no one brought to his attention that one hadn’t been issued. “I take responsibility for it,” Wingate told the newspaper on Wednesday. The appeals court said there is no reason in the record nor any reason offered by Wingate’s court response to Ford’s 2008 petition. “This is not the first time such inexcusable delays have occurred in that court,” the panel wrote.

Coleman said an argument about a child the two share, who was not at the apartment, apparently led to the killing. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reforms grant patients new right to know There are many, many aspects to the health reform legislation now before the U.S. Senate for further adjustment. Some make more sense than others. Take for example the fact that many stores sell an array of fish oil supplements for an annual cost of $300 or less. Why would anybody pay 10 times that much for GlaxoSmithKline’s prescription version when doctors say they can find very little difference between it and its over-the-counter competitors? The answer: Because insurance often covers the high-priced pills, and, we suspect, because doctors promote such prescription medications to other doctors. GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of the fish oil product known as Lovaza, paid a Delafield, Wis., lipidology specialist $45,000 during the second quarter of last year to tout the benefits of the company’s

pills. The payments to Dr. Tara Dall were disclosed in records GlaxoSmithKline released recently. As many universities have tightened their ethics policies regarding promotional drug talks, pharmaceutical companies have increasingly turned to physicians in private practice to pitch their products. While medical schools can require doctors who work for them to inform patients of their ties to pharmaceutical companies, there have been no such restrictions on private doctors. Dall’s Web site mentions her role as a speaker, but press reports say she hedged when asked whether she disclosed her relationship with the drug maker to patients for whom she prescribes Lovaza. Doctors should be required to disclose such relationships to their patients. And, henceforth,

drug makers will be required to report how much they are paying doctors. Interestingly, as the bill moved toward passage, drug companies began reporting their payments voluntarily. Patients need to trust their doctors and in almost all cases doctors earn that trust. There may be legitimate medical reasons why an expensive prescription medicine is appropriate even if a lay person thinks a generic or nonprescription product would provide the same benefit. If, however, a physician is getting paid or receiving other inducements from a pharmaceutical firm, there should be no hesitation to disclose that fact. Patients have a right to know who is paying their doctors. This is a good reform.

MODERATELY CONFUSED by Bill Stahler

No single factor controls a school’s effectiveness Much has been said about the wholesale firing of teachers at Central Falls High School in Rhode Island, both in opposition to and agreement with the firing. We have learned that only 50 percent of the students there graduate, and 7 percent are proficient in math. The superintendent hasn’t been on the job very long and her goal is to create a place where all kids can achieve. Seventy seven teachers were fired, plus the principal, three assistant principals and other administrators — a total of 93. The firings came after the district and teachers’ union failed to agree on a plan for teachers to increase their time with students to improve test scores. I am sure that many people look at those statistics and agree with the firing of all the school’s teachers. It seems reasonable at first glance. It seems ridiculous to keep teachers who are getting those results with their students. A caveat to this firing is that some of these teachers may be hired back. That alone suggests that they may not have been a bunch of scoundrels. This is an issue that calls for finer tuning and closer observation. I’ll

be the first to say that sometimes some teachers need to be fired. Some can’t make it in the teaching profession, and others do specific things for which they must be fired. But to blame dismal results solely on teachers and fire all of them is naive and may ultimately hurt public schools. Why couldn’t the district and teachers’ union reach an agreement on the issue and allow teachers to continue? Teachers cannot succeed in a vacuum — certainly not in a school challenged with this degree of poverty and mobility. The questions that need to be asked and answered are: What kinds of support and resources did these teachers have to do their

job? Where was the central administration of the school district? Where were the community and parents? Schools with a high percentage of poor students require more resources to educate those students than schools with middle class and affluent students. It simply costs more to successfully educate poor children — more money, more staff development, more community resources and more support from the district. Did the Central Falls High School teachers have the support and resources they needed to get the job done? The good news is that there are public schools with high concentrations of poverty that are achieving

academic success with their students. They are doing so because they have every piece of the puzzle in place. The community is in the schools, offering help in the form of tutoring, mentoring and social services. Parents have been drawn into these schools as partners in their children’s education and have been made to feel welcome. Parents and citizens who care about all children have been appointed and elected to school boards. They have committed themselves to providing an equitable education to all students, with the resources that it requires. Voters have passed bond elections in order to provide additional resources and facilities. School districts have created an environment of high expectations for all children and then provided the framework and staff development to achieve those expectations. For some people, this may seem too much to ask. And yet we know that these are the things that work. We must hire and retain the best teachers, and then we must give them the support they need and deserve. Teachers must be committed to the success of all students and must

believe that all children, including poor children, can achieve — and be willing to roll up their sleeves to make it happen. Many other school districts have their share of failing schools. Teacher quality is important to the conversation about how to improve these schools and we must insist on quality teachers and quality teaching. But we need to be very careful about the message we are sending here — that it is all up to the teachers. It doesn’t help us attract the teachers we need over the long haul. Public schools belong to and are accountable to the public. Who is the public? It is all of us – parents, citizens, communities, the media, policymakers and lawmakers. Only when all of us do our part can teachers truly be successful with what we are asking them to do. •

SAN DIEGO — A special panel of federal judges is being asked today to consolidate before a single court dozens of proposed class-action lawsuits filed by Toyota owners who say the value of their vehicles has plummeted after millions were recalled for safety fixes. The decision, expected in about two weeks by the seven-member U.S. Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, will set the stage for eventual trial or settlement of the roughly 100 cases filed nationwide, which could potentially cost Toyota billions of dollars in damages. “Somebody is going to get this thing. It is going to be a ton of work,” said attorney David R. Cohen of Cleveland, who has been appointed frequently as a “special master” to assist judges in similar cases. The judge who is chosen will make several key decisions, including whether all Toyota owners affected by the recalls should be treated as a single class that could be paid for the vehicles’ lost value. Toyota also is expected to ask for dismissal of the case. Before that, however, the panel must decide where to send the lawsuits. Toyota favors Los Angeles federal court, near its U.S. headquarters in Torrance, but 18 other jurisdictions have been suggested including Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, and even Puerto Rico. The lawsuits have been popping up in court dockets nationwide following Toyota’s recalls involving some 8 million vehicles, including about 6 million in the U.S. There are also separate lawsuits filed by crash victims and family members, as well as by investors who blame Toyota stock losses on the recalls.

Bills would ban drywall cancellations BATON ROUGE — Property insurance companies would not be allowed to cancel policies or raise rates on homeowners who make damage claims stemming from corrosive Chinese drywall, under two proposed state laws. Bills by state Sen. Julie Quinn, R-Metairie, and Rep. Walt Leger III, D-New Orleans, would provide a degree of protection to Louisiana homeowners who are among about 3,000 nationwide complaining of damage from the drywall. Both bills also would prohibit rate increases or cancellations of coverage if a house is found by an insurer to have Chinese drywall — regardless of whether a claim is filed or not. Quinn’s bill goes a step further by offering the same protection to commercial property owners. Leger said he doesn’t know of any cases where a drywall claim has cost a homeowner coverage or higher rates, but he has “spoken to a lot of people who are afraid they will lose their coverage if they make a claim.”

Folgers to expand Louisiana operation NEW ORLEANS — The Folgers Coffee Co. will consolidate all of its production into its two New Orleans plants and expand its Lacombe distribution center, creating 120 new jobs, under a state incentive plan announced Wednesday. As part of the plan, Folgers’ parent, The J.M. Smucker Co., said it will close its coffee plants in Sherman, Texas, and Kansas City, Mo.

BATON ROUGE — Louisiana recalls oysters harvested in part of Plaquemines Parish because 11 people at a seafood conference in Mississippi got sick after eating some. Louisiana’s Department of Health and Hospitals said one person was hospitalized but has since been released. The conference was March 10. The recall affects oysters harvested since March 6 from Basin 4, Area 7. Health Officer Jimmy Guidry says the area will probably be closed for at least 21 days. The recall includes

Government adds mortgage protections WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is enacting protections to ensure homeowners are treated consistently under its mortgage relief program after complaints from consumer advocates. Mortgage companies will have to evaluate all borrowers who have missed at least two payments to see if they are eligible for the $75 billion program, the Treasury Department said. The companies also must not foreclose until homeowners are found ineligible or don’t respond to outreach efforts. Borrowers will be able to get a decision on their application within 30 days. Herbert Allison, an assistant Treasury Secretary, said in testimony prepared for a House hearing that the changes will “help address some of the confusion and anxiety that some borrowers reported.”

Mississippi outbreak prompts oyster recall

shucked, frozen, breaded and post-harvest processed oysters, and oysters for the half shell market. The illness was norovirus, which spreads easily and can cause one or two days of severe vomiting, cramps and diarrhea. Symptoms usually begin 24 to 48 hours after exposure. Cooking kills the virus, but undercooked oysters can spread it.

Under the package announced by Gov. Bobby Jindal, Folgers also will retain 450 current jobs and invest $69 million in the expansion. Annual salaries will average about $42,000. The state economic development agency estimated that the expansion will generate $17.2 million in new state tax revenue and $4.9 million in new local tax revenue over the next 10 years, excluding corporate income taxes and property taxes. The state said Folgers will get a performance-based incentive plan valued at about $5.6 million and will be able to qualify for state industrial tax credits. Failure to meet the investment and hiring goals would require the company to pay back the incentives.

A: You simply don’t know the language of investing. That doesn’t come through osmosis, it comes from studying. While right now you don’t have much money to invest, invest your time. Read financial periodicals like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, etc. You don’t have to digest these things, but read one each month and you will eventually become familiar with the language of investing, which is a great start. There’s no reason for you to have a broker or financial adviser at this point in your life. But you must depend upon yourself in order to expand your knowledge.

Report: Vatican was warned about priest in Wisconsin NEW YORK (AP) — Milwaukee’s Roman Catholic archbishop warned a top Vatican office led by the future Pope Benedict XVI about a priest who may have molested as many as 200 deaf boys, according to documents obtained by The New York Times, but the priest was never defrocked. The documents were pro-

vided by two lawyers who have filed lawsuits alleging the Archdiocese of Milwaukee didn’t take sufficient action against the Rev. Lawrence Murphy. The priest, who died in 1998, worked at the former St. John’s School for the Deaf in St. Francis from 1950 to 1975. In 1996, then-Milwaukee

tions by about $192,000. Vicksburg’s five casinos pay a 3.2 percent revenue tax to the State of Mississippi that is divided locally, with the city getting 65 percent, Warren County 25 percent and the school district 10 percent. A second revenue tax is an 0.8 percent share of the state’s 8.8 percent revenue tax. It is split based on population proportions between Vicksburg and Warren County. Each casino is also required to pay $150 for each gaming device annually to the city. Gaming tax revenues in Vicksburg were off by 3.8 percent in fiscal year 2009, compared to the previous fiscal year. The other half of the city’s revenue comes from property taxes.

Continued from Page A1. revenues are off 3.2 percent compared to budget expectations, and sales tax revenues are off 1.2 percent. Winfield said he’s optimistic the projections will hold. “As I’ve said before, Vicksburg is still faring better than most other cities in the state. I’m optimistic about revenues going forward,” he said. “I’m confident our merchants are going to hang in there and things are going to get better.” Collectively, gaming and sales tax revenues netted approximately $14.25 million for the city last fiscal year, exceeding its budget expecta-

hold in 2009 due to cost estimates to build its core. Customers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas receive electricity from the $3 billion plant, completed in 1985 following an 11-year construction period.

Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland sent letters about Murphy to the Vatican office called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which was led from 1981 to 2005 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future pope. Weakland received no response from Ratzinger, the Times reported. Eight months later, the

second in command at the doctrinal office, Cardinal Tarciscio Bertone — now the Vatican’s secretary of state — told the Wisconsin bishops to begin secret disciplinary proceedings, according to the documents. But Bertone halted that process after Murphy wrote to Ratzinger saying he already had repented, was

ailing and that the case’s statute of limitations had run out, the Times reported. The documents contain no response from Cardinal Ratzinger. Weakland also wrote to a different Vatican office in March 1997, saying an attorney’s impending lawsuit would make the case public.

Nissan Continued from Page A1. tion by the fall. Test trials on the new vans could begin within weeks. “We see a real opportunity to expand on business in the United States with commercial vans,” said Dan Bednarzyk, Nissan vice president of manufacturing for Canton. Based on early feedback from dealers, Nissan expects the commercial van will be well-received, Bednarzyk said. The vans, which were introduced last month at the National Truck Equipment Association’s annual Work Truck Show in St. Louis, are new products for North America. Nissan produces commercial vehicles in other countries, but until now resisted entering the market here. Pricing on the vehicles has not yet been announced. Commercial vans are a relatively small market. Nissan says it makes up about 16 percent of its global sales. The main buyers are companies like FedEx, which

have fleets of such vans, and small businesses like landscapers or repair technicians. Most industry watchers consider the segment is underserved — Nissan’s main competitors will be the Ford E-series, Chevrolet Express and MercedesBenz Sprinter — but it is also a tough market to crack, said James Hossack, vice president of the automotive research firm AutoPacific. However, Nissan already has some strong commercial van products in Japan and Europe and this is a natural extension of that market, Hossack said. Like the market for passenger cars, commercial vehicle sales have been hit hard by the downturn in the economy. U.S. sales of commercial vehicles have dropped for three consecutive years. Industry analysts say sales appear to be on an upswing in 2010, and anticipate that growth to continue over the next several years. Nissan says the commercial vans, which will be

known as the NV line, are the most researched vehicles the company has ever produced. They include a cargo space large enough to hold an Altima and a main cabin set up for comfort and ease of use. The interior will feel more like a pickup than a traditional commercial van, Bednarzyk said. The Canton plant was chosen to produce the vans because it had plenty of space and the facility was already producing large vehicles. The plant currently produces the Altima, Armada, Titan, under the Nissan nameplate and the Infiniti QX56. Most of the new investment was made in the paint plant, where 60,000 square feet were modified and 49,000 square feet added to accommodate the van. The vans range in height from 84 to 105 inches and are 240 inches long and 80 inches wide — and will require 10 gallons of paint each, according to JD Delancey, paint manager for the commercial vans.

Treaty to cut U.S., Russian nuclear weapons WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. and Russia will drastically reduce their nuclear arsenals under a historic treaty to be signed next month. After long and trying negotiations, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are to sign the treaty in two weeks in Prague, once final technical details are worked out, officials in Washington and Moscow said Wednesday. The accord is expected to cut the number of long-range nuclear

California could legalize pot in November vote SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — When California voters head to the polls in November, they will decide whether the state will make history again — this time by legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults. The state was the first to legalize medicinal marijuana use, with voters passing it in 1996. Since then, 14 states have followed California’s lead, even though marijuana remains illegal under federal law. “This is a watershed moment in the decades-long struggle to end failed marijuana prohibition in this country,” said Stephen Gutwillig, California director for the Drug Policy Alliance. “We really can’t overstate the significance of Californians being the first to have the opportunity to end this public policy disaster.” California is not alone in the push to expand legal use of marijuana. Legislators in Rhode Island, another state hit hard by the economic downturn, are considering a plan to decriminalize possession of an ounce or less by anyone 18 or older.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brushing off a snag in the Senate, House Democratic leaders said they were prepared to finish work by late today on a package of fixes to the big health care law signed by President Barack Obama. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in a statement this morning that if the Senate finishes its work by the afternoon, as expected, the House will immediately take up the bill. Democrats are saying they do not expect any major problems — but they’re also keeping their fingers crossed. “The Senate is expected to complete work this afternoon on the improvements bill to the new health care reform law,” said Hoyer, D-Md. “If they finish their work later today as planned, the House will take up the improvements bill with technical corrections this evening.” After nine straight hours of beating back Republican amendments, Senate Democrats hit a temporary snag in the nighttime hours early today. They had hoped to complete work on the fix-it bill by midday today and get it quickly to Obama without changes to avoid prolonging what has been a politically painful ordeal for the party. But Republicans learned early today they will be able to kill some language in the bill that relates to Pell grants for low-income college students. That means the altered bill will have to be returned to the House for final congressional approval before it can be sent to Obama. Democrats described the situation as a minor glitch, but did not rule out that Republicans might be able to remove additional sections of the bill. The president, who signed the landmark legislation into law Tuesday, was flying to Iowa later in the day for the first of many appearances around the country to sell his health care revamp before the fall congressional elections. As an exhausted Senate labored past 2 a.m. on a stack of GOP amendments.

A proposal to legalize the sale and use of marijuana in Washington was recently defeated in that state’s legislature, though lawmakers there did expand the pool of medical professionals that could prescribe the drug for medicinal use. And a group in Nevada is pushing an initiative that marks the state’s fourth attempt in a decade to legalize the drug. The California secretary of state’s office certified the initiative for the general election ballot Wednesday after it was determined that supporters had gathered enough valid signatures. The initiative would allow those 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana, enough to roll dozens of marijuana cigarettes. Residents

also could grow their own crop of the plant in gardens measuring up to 25 square feet. The proposal would ban users from ingesting marijuana in public or smoking it while minors are present. It also would make it illegal to possess the drug on school grounds or drive while under its influence. Local governments would decide whether to permit and tax marijuana sales. Proponents of the measure say legalizing marijuana could save the state $200 million a year by reducing public safety costs. At the same time, it could generate tax revenue for local governments.

SIDELINES Reports of McNabb trade are untrue ST. LOUIS (AP) — Reports that the St. Louis Rams are trying to acquire Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb are untrue, according to a person familiar with the team’s plans. Media outlets in Philadelphia on Wednesday reported the Rams had offered a second-round draft pick and safety Oshiomoghe Atogwe for McNabb. The source told The AP that the reports were unfounded. Atogwe is coming off shoulder surgery and ended the season on injured reserve, and would have to sign a tender offer before the Rams could trade him. He had made 60 consecutive starts before getting hurt in early December. The Rams have interest in taking Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the first pick of the draft after going 1-15 with Marc Bulger and backup Kyle Boller.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods will speak before he plays in the Masters. Woods is scheduled to hold his first news conference in nearly five months at 1 p.m. on Monday April 5, according to a tentative interview schedule that Augusta National released Wednesday. It will be his first news conference in nearly five months and his first time facing a room full of reporters since he crashed his SUV into a tree on Nov. 27, setting off shocking revelations of rampant infidelity. The Masters only recently began conducting a news

Woods is the only player scheduled for an interview that day. Given the sensational nature of his downfall, what he says could trump the NCAA basketball championship game held later that night. “Our focus that Monday

will be on crowning the next national champion,” NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson said. Arnold Palmer, one of the most popular players in golf history, suggested that Woods be more open with reporters. “It’s up to him to do and say whatever he feels he needs to do to redeem the situation, put it in the proper place,” Palmer said. “ ... I suppose the best thing he could do would be open up and just let you guys shoot at him. And that’s just my thought.” The last time Woods held a news conference was Nov. 15 after he won the Australian Masters in Melbourne for his 82nd career victory.

LeBron outplays Hornets Safety NFL

By Brett Martel The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Even after he twisted his ankle, LeBron James seemed a step ahead of whatever the New Orleans Hornets tried to do to stop him. James scored an efficient 38 points on 15-of-22 shooting to go with nine assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won their eighth straight game, 105-92, over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night. “They had resistance. I’d seen a guy in front of me but I made a lot of shots,” James said. “I got comfortable. I took some difficult shots and made them, and once I get into a flow, I feel like I can make any shot on the court.” James turned his left ankle when he landed on James Posey’s foot in the final seconds of the first half, then limped off the court. He returned to start the second half and showed no ill effects, making an array of tough fades and running floaters, or setting up easy inside baskets with no-look passes. “LeBron’s 6-8, and if you double team him, he’s going to throw over the defense. He can definitely see over the defense,” Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. “He can burn you either way. LeBron had an outstanding game but the guys around him played extremely well feeding off of the double teams ... and the attention that he drew.” J.J. Hickson scored 20 for the Cavs, who led by as many as 17 and never trailed after James’ floater tied it at 10 in the first quar-

maker, scoring only five of his points but dishing out five assists. “I take what the defense gives me,” James said. “If they take away my scoring I find my teammates and viceversa. I do whatever it takes for our team to win.” Hickson scored 11 points in the quarter on five layups, one of which he converted into a three-point play. Jamison scored nine points during the period and Mo Williams’ tough fade over Collison made it 81-64 with 2:32 left in the quarter.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Overtime and player safety were the themes at the NFL meetings this week. Barely mentioned was labor. Even though these are the last scheduled meetings of all key league personnel outside of the players — commissioner Roger Goodell, all 32 owners, team general managers and coaches — before the collective bargaining agreement expires next March, labor was not much of an issue. Sure, a work stoppage could be in the mix by this time next year. But other than reinforcing their unanimity, the owners concentrated on the field. “We have to find common ground with the NFLPA,” Goodell said Wednesday. “The real issue for us is to get back and focus on those things we can do to grow the game and grow the opportunities for everyone participating. We want a fair agreement that everyone is going to do well in, including the players.” Those players should be

Delonte West added 15 points and Antawn Jamison had 11 points and 11 rebounds as Cleveland won its 27th straight over a team with a losing record. “They just picked us apart defensively,” Hornets forward David West said. “LeBron was able to get himself going and get other guys (involved). When they’re doing that, it’s tough to beat them.” Marcus Thornton scored 20 points and Darren Collison added 17 for the Hornets, who will be eliminated from

West added 16 points, while Chris Paul struggled in his second game back from a left knee injury, finishing with five points and seven assists in 32 minutes. “I have to get back into the flow and understand what we’re doing,” Paul said. “Hopefully that will come sooner than later. ... The biggest thing is that my knee feels fine.” Cleveland opened up a 17-point lead with a dominant third quarter, a stretch during which James assumed the role of play-

Keeping score is a rarely admired art form Spring cleaning always leads to the discovery of hidden treasures. Going through a drawer that hadn’t been touched since this columnist’s last move in October 2009, a treasure trove was rediscovered. It wasn’t jewels of rarity, the deed to a bowling alley, stock certificates for a Fortune 500 company or Stan Musial’s autograph. It was a collection of box scores lovingly rendered in faded pencil lead and replete with dog-eared corners and the stains of the ballpark chili or maybe a frosty adult beverage of barley and hops. Keeping score is one of the great pleasures of the languid rhythms of the nation’s pastime. All the ballparks sell scorecards to allow fans

to keep up with the game they love. It’s a nerdy hobby, but for those baseball aficionados, it’s a sign of devotion with almost religious significance. The collection of box scores in the drawer dated years. Some were from Major League games, the most famous of which was Randy Johnson’s perfect game at Turner Field in 2004. Needless to say, there were not

very many marks on the Braves’ side of the ledger in that game. Others were from minor league or college games. It’s pack-rat-like to horde them, but it’s not like they were flowing out of every corner of the house. Why keep them? They’re a record of a moment in time, frozen with the faded marks of pencil and written in a language only the initiated can understand. To others, they are as meaningless as hieroglyphics before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. They are a collection of scribbles, numbers and lines that seem random, but which tell a tale no differently than the plain written word. Keeping score is an exact art, demanding in the minute

details. First of all, one can’t use a regular pencil to do it with any precision. It’s kind of like using a pair of pliers as a wrench. Besides, who wants to drag a pencil sharpener to the ballpark? Mechanical pencils are the only way to fly, be it marking that stupendous 4-6-3 double play or charting how many pitches the starter has uncorked. It keeps the smudges that can turn a double into a triple to a minimum. Part of the beauty of keeping score is being a chronicler of events. You never know, like the Big Unit’s perfect game in 2004, when history is being recorded by your pencil. And there’s the beauty of the judgment call. While the

official scorer at the ballpark gets the final say on whether that solidly hit line drive that skimmed past the second baseman’s glove is an error or a hit, you can decide on your own scorecard whether you’ll give the batter a hit or not. A quick note, this scorer always believes that a ball that hits an infield glove, no matter how hard it is hit, is an error. If no glove touches the ball, it’s a hit. Even if it’s a dribbler down the lines a foot or two. So the next time you head to the ballpark, try keeping score. Just call it a time capsule for the days of summer.

The Vicksburg Post

Port Gibson falls hard to Columbia NFL By Ernest Bowker ebowker@vicksburgpost.com

prep BaseBall

PORT GIBSON — In twoplus seasons at Port Gibson, coach Dan Smith has seen plenty of improvement with his team. So much, in fact, that it was hard to keep him from smiling a bit even after an ugly loss. The Blue Waves managed only three hits, struck out 14 times in five innings and committed four errors in a 14-2 loss to Columbia on Wednesday. Despite the miscues, the fact Port Gibson (6-5, 3-1 Division 7-4A) has already exceeded both its

overall and division win totals from last season left Smith willing to write this one off as just part of playing baseball instead of a troubling trend. “We hadn’t won that many district games since I’ve been here. We won one last year, so they’ve come a long way,” Smith said. Although they’re no longer a pushover, Wednesday’s game shows the Blue Waves have a long way to go before they’re playoff contenders. Columbia scored in each of the first three innings to

take a 5-2 lead, then blew the game open with nine runs in the fourth. Blake Sistrunk and Ty Randall each drove in two runs with singles in the big inning, pinch-hitter William Sanford had a tworun double and Aaron Ellzey brought in two more runs with a triple. Ellzey finished the game 2-for-2 with two RBIs and three runs scored, and Forrest Dungan had an RBI single and scored three runs for Columbia (8-5, 4-0). “We did not seem focused in the beginning of the game, and we’re going to address that,” Columbia coach Greg Owen said. “We’ve been

swinging it well so I felt like we were going to score some runs.” For Port Gibson, Adarrius Barnes doubled and scored on a wild pitch in the first inning, and Silento Sayles hit an RBI double in the third. The Blue Waves only managed one other hit against Columbis starter Courtney Forbes, though, and that was an infield single by Johnny Banks. Forbes went four innings, walked two and struck out 11. Sistrunk pitched the final inning and struck out the side after the first two batters reached base.

Cornell makes unprecedented run SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Steve Donahue knew for a while that something special was brewing at Cornell. He just never dared to dream so big. “It’s just been overwhelming in a great way,” Donahue, head coach of the Big Red, said Wednesday after practice in the Carrier Dome. “People back home have been stopping, honking their horns, rolling down their windows, just exuberant in celebration. It just makes you feel good that people are enjoying the success of our program just as much as we are.” Cornell’s run is unprecedented in the Ivy League. With nine seniors, many of them castoffs, Cornell (29-4) has won more games than any school in the history of the league and is the first from the Ivy to advance to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament in more than 30 years. Two more wins, beginning with top-seeded Kentucky on Thursday night, and the 12thseeded Big Red will become the lowest seed to reach a Final Four. Not bad for a coach who was 74-117 in his first seven seasons. “I’ve been here for 10 years,” said Donahue, who didn’t make a dime coaching basketball until he was 33, selling paint so he could feed his passion for the game. “Now I walk in the same steps I’ve always walked and I get a totally different reaction where I never got reaction.” These are heady times on the Cornell campus. The women’s ice hockey team, seeking the school’s first national title in a women’s sport, made it to its first national championship game before losing in triple overtime to Minnesota Duluth on Sunday.

Cornell fans hold up signs before an NCAA Tournament second-round against Wisconsin on Sunday.

College BasketBall game Friday night. Amidst the athletic glee is a pall of gloom that hangs over the picturesque campus in Ithaca, N.Y., an hour’s drive south of Syracuse. The Ivy League school, situated in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, is known for its spectacular gorges. It attracts the best and brightest — future lawyers, doctors, captains of industry. It’s also haunted by a reputation for suicides. The steep, rocky gorges add to the beauty of the school of 20,000 students, who must cross over at least one of them to enter the main campus town.

March Madness Today’s Games All games on CBS West Virginia (29-6) vs. Washington (26-9), 6:27 p.m. Kentucky (34-2) vs. Cornell (29-4), 30 minutes following Syracuse (30-4) vs. Butler (30-4), 6:07 p.m. Kansas State (28-7) vs. Xavier (26-8), 30 minutes following “There were three (suicides) one semester when I was there,” said Rick Luciani, a 1986 Cornell graduate and now a social worker in Syracuse. “The following year they

put up more gates to make it harder to jump. It was an alarming time. I do remember it pretty vividly.” This year has been brutal. After three years without any deaths, six students have taken their own lives this academic year, an 18-year-old freshman economics major from Florida, a sophomore from Maryland, and a junior from Indiana among them. “It’s kind of been a weird feeling with the tragedies,” senior star Ryan Wittman said. “I think what we’re trying to do is give people something else to think of. Give them something to take their minds off of that. “We’ve been seeing and feeling a lot of support from our students, from the locals around the community,” he added. “It’s kind of a difficult situation. We’re not trying to make people forget about it, just allow them to think about something else for a little while.” Cornell took the extraordinary step of posting lookouts on bridges that span the gorges and going door-to-door to check on students after the suicides. The school hosted a “Lift Your Spirits” gathering that featured music and a wall for students to write their thoughts. “I hope that they feel better about everything that’s going on on our campus and somehow will get through this,” said Donahue, a father of five. “As a parent, that is always your concern. To see it happen on your own campus is extremely difficult.” The suicides have affected the basketball players, too. “It was kind of shocking that kids our age are going through stuff like that,” senior Jon Jaques said. “I hope in some way our run helps the school.”

Mississippi State rallies past Memphis From staff reports Mississippi State struck for four runs in the seventh inning Wednesday night to rally past Memphis. The Bulldogs trailed the Tigers 5-1 after four innings before staging the comeback. Five of MSU’s eight hits went for extra bases, including solo home runs by Jet Butler, Jonathan Ogden and Russ Sneed and a school record-tying pair of triples by Luke Adkins. Jet Butler laced a first pitch

College BaseBall blast to right in the fifth, Russ Sneed added a two-out solo shot in the sixth and Jonathan Ogden made it a 5-4 game with a leadoff home run in the seventh. State (12-9) sent nine more to the plate in frame, adding three more runs on two hits and four walks to take its first lead of the game at 7-5. Chad Girodo (1-1), the fifth of

seven Bulldog hurlers in the game, tossed two innings of scoreless one-hit ball to earn the win. Junior Corey Collins, who followed starter Trey Johnson to the hill in the first inning, scattered four hits and allowed one run in 21⁄3 innings of relief.

LSU 4, UL-Lafayette 3 A pair of RBIs by catcher Micah Gibbs and five shutout innings by the LSU bullpen led the fourth-ranked Tigers to a victory over UL-Lafayette at

Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers (17-3) have won seven of their last 10 meetings with the Cajuns (11-10) since 2000. Along with Gibbs’ two RBI, the LSU offense Wednesday was led by a pair of doubles by second baseman Tyler Hanover, as well as two hits by shortstop Austin Nola. Junior right-hander Mitch Mormann (2-0) earned the victory for LSU after throwing 12⁄3 innings and allowing no runs and one hit.

Continued from Page B1. safer during games thanks to several rules changes. And they also might be playing longer in regular-season overtimes. The NFL passed rules Wednesday to further protect defenseless players, including ball carriers who lose their helmet during a play. The key rules change bars a defenseless player from being hit in the head or neck area by an opponent who launches himself and uses his helmet, shoulder or forearm to make contact. Previously, those kind of tackles were banned against receivers who couldn’t protect themselves, but now it will apply to everyone. “These are very specific to very vulnerable moments in the game,” Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “There’s no reason not to protect these players. There’s a history of potentially serious injuries in these types of collisions.” NFL rules also will now echo those in college when a player running with the ball loses his helmet. The whistle will blow immediately and the ball will be placed at the “progress spot” where the helmet came off. A safety move to protect the umpire also was made. He now will be stationed behind the offensive backfield rather than in the linebackers area. The competition committee saw “a hundred” examples of umpires being run over, cochairman Rich McKay said. As for the overtime modification, several owners said they also expect the rule instituted the previous day for the playoffs to be revisited in May to include the regular season. “It’s a better system, so

why not have a better system every game?” Lurie said of expanding the new OT rule that allows a team losing the coin toss and allowing a field goal on the first series to then get a possession. New York Giants owner John Mara added he expects discussion and possibly a vote on using the new OT system to occur at the owners meetings in Dallas in May. The change was proposed only for the postseason by the competition committee and was passed 28-4 Tuesday. Goodell said the league wants to meet with the players and the networks for some input and further discuss the ramifications of expanding the OT change. “We had a proposal for the postseason, we passed that with the understanding that it’ll be discussed for the regular season,” he said. Goodell also mentioned scheduling only intradivision games on the final weekend of the season, and placing many such games in Week 16, as well. He said at the end of last season he was concerned about teams not playing their regulars after clinching titles and is hopeful such scheduling would help avoid that. The 2010 schedule will be released in April. Also passed Wednesday: •During a field goal or extra point attempt, the defensive team can’t position any player on the line directly across from the snapper. Previously, a player needed to have his helmet outside the snapper’s shoulder pads. •A dead ball personal foul on the final play of the second or fourth quarters will cause a 15-yard penalty on the second half or overtime kickoff.

Hornets Continued from Page B1. The Hornets got the lead down to 96-86 with 4:22 left, then James quickly squashed any notion of a comeback. He hit a difficult left-handed driving floater off the glass, and after Paul’s missed 3, James drew a foul and hit both free throws. The Cavs shot 57.1 percent, helped by James’ good shooting as well as Hickson going 9-of-11 and Delonte West 7-of11. Cleveland outscored New Orleans 58-36 inside and also outrebounded New Orleans 40-37. Cleveland (57-15), which currently holds the best overall record in the NBA, also improved to a league-best 26-11 away from home with another road game coming up at San Antonio on Friday night.

James scored 12 points in the first quarter on an array of jumpers and acrobatic driving floaters, including one while his momentum was angling away from the basket. He set up two jams by Anderson Varejao, one on a no-look pass and another after he intercepted Paul’s pass and led a fast break the other way. New Orleans came back to tie it at 44 when Paul found West for a dunk, but then Cleveland surged ahead for good, starting when James hit a short jumper and dunked an alley-oop feed from Williams. Later, he hit a tough driving floater over Posey and off the glass after beating Thornton on the dribble, giving the Cavs a 52-48 lead at halftime.

Meyer has harsh words for Orlando reporter By The Associated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. — With a stern look and some finger pointing, Florida coach Urban Meyer had harsh words for a reporter following spring practice Wednesday. Meyer, speaking for the first time in a week, confronted an Orlando Sentinel reporter and defended receiver Deonte Thompson. It was unclear why Meyer took issue with the Sentinel’s story. Reporter Jeremy Fowler quoted Thompson as referring to John Brantley as “a

real quarterback,” in comparison to Tim Tebow. The exchange was caught on video, captured by a photographer and witnessed by a dozen or more people — including several fans leaving spring practice. “You’ll be out of practice — you understand that? — if you do that again,” Meyer told the reporter. “I told you five years ago: Don’t mess with our players. Don’t do it. You did it. You do it one more time and the Orlando Sentinel’s not welcome here ever again. Is that clear? It’s yes or no.” Meyer was reacting to a

story posted on the Sentinel’s Web site following Monday’s practice. Thompson was asked what the biggest difference was between Tebow and Brantley. “You never know with Tim,” Thompson said. “He can bolt. You’ll think he’s running, but then he’ll just come up and pass it to you. You just have to be ready at all times. With Brantley, everything’s with rhythm, time. Like, you know what I mean, a real quarterback.” Thompson was embarrassed by the remark and the attention it got, mostly because he likes Tebow and

never wanted to say anything negative about him. Meyer, who has praised Thompson for being a good student, a hard worker and a player who has not gotten into any trouble, eventually got word of Thompson’s distress and relayed his concern to school officials.

Sunshine Band founder held on sex rap A music producer and co-founder of KC and the Sunshine Band responsible for such hits as “Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Comin’ Love” has acknowledged having sex with teenage boys, police said Wednesday. Richard R. Finch, 56, was arrested Tuesday after a boy told authorities he’d had sexual contact with him at Finch’s home in Newark, the Licking County sheriff’s office said. The boy made the revelation last week. Finch, while being interviewed at the sheriff’s office, admitted he’d had sex with that boy and others ranging in age from 13 to 17, police said. Finch, a former bass player for the band and a seven-time Grammy Award winner, was being held at the sheriff’s office on $250,000 bond.

Divorce attorney says Hopper is dying Dennis Hopper is terminally ill and unable to undergo chemotherapy as he battles prostate cancer, his attorney wrote in a court filing. Attorney Joseph Mannis wrote about the “Easy Rider” star’s grave condition in a declaration filed Wednesday asserting the actor cannot be questioned by his wife’s attorneys in a deposition. Dennis The prognosis contradicts previous filings in Hopper the divorce proceedings that were bullish about Hopper’s recovery chances. Hopper, 73, and his wife, Victoria, have been locked in a bitter feud since the actor, director and artist filed to end the couple’s nearly 14-year marriage in January. He weighs barely 100 pounds and was described by his physician Dr. David Agus as extremely weak and unable to carry on long conversations. Agus states that undergoing a deposition “could actually threaten his ability to survive his current health crisis.”

Suge Knight Yukmouth filed a police report saying 10 other men arrived, knocked him down and took his watch, medallion and other jewelry worth $92,000. He wasn’t badly hurt and declined medical treatment.

Suleman looking for funds to pay mortgage lOs ANGeles (AP) — Nadya Suleman’s octuplets have brought her plenty of fame, but apparently not nearly the fortune she expected when she moved into a house her father agreed to buy last year for more than a half-million dollars. Suleman’s father, Ed Doud, has defaulted on a $450,000 balloon payment on that house, mortgage holder Amer Haddadin said Wednesday. He said he plans to file foreclosure papers in court within days if he doesn’t get his money. Although Suleman’s lawyer, Jeff Czech, said earlier this Nadya week his cliSuleman ent’s father was hoping to work something out, he was blunt when it came to the balloon payment: “Mr. Doud at this moment doesn’t have $450,000 to pay off,” he said. In a brief e-mail Wednesday, he added that he was negotiating with Haddadin’s attorney for more time to refinance. Not that Suleman doesn’t have the opportunity to raise the money quickly, although not in ways she would want to. Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment, one of the world’s largest purveyors of adult films, announced this week that his company would pay off Suleman’s mortgage if she would make a porn film. Hirsch assured it would be, well, as tasteful as those things can be with her input on male co-stars and script. He declined to say whether Suleman had expressed interest in the offer, but Czech indicated she had rejected it out of hand. He did say that Suleman had accepted a much more modest offer from People for the Ethi-

This image by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals shows a copy of a sign designed to be placed in Nadya Suleman’s yard for a fee to offset the cost of her mortgage. cal Treatment of Animals — $5,000 to put a sign in her front yard proclaiming, “Don’t let your dog or cat become an octomom. Always Spay or Neuter.” As an added incentive, the animal rights organization had said Wednesday it would throw in a month’s supply of veggie burgers and veggie hot dogs for Suleman and her 14 children, who range in age from 1 to 8. “No porn. Just Peta. Nadya prefers animals over men,” Czech said in an e-mail exchange with The Associated Press. When Suleman’s children were born in January 2009 it seemed inconceivable that a little more than a year later she might be scrounging up hot dog offers from an animal rights group. The arrival of the

longest-surviving octuplets in history was hailed as a medial miracle and it appeared a joyful public was ready to line up to help raise them, providing free diapers, food and other necessities. There was also talk of book and movie deals and perhaps a reality show along the lines of “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” But public opinion quickly turned against her when it was discovered she was a single mother who had conceived eight children by in vitro fertilization when she already had six youngsters to raise. What’s more she was unemployed and surviving on a combination of student loans, disability checks for other children and workers’ compensation checks for an old back injury. At the time she was also living with her mother whose own home

Robert Culp of ‘I Spy’ dead at 79 lOs ANGeles (AP) — Robert Culp, the actor who teamed with Bill Cosby in the racially groundbreaking TV series “I Spy” and was Bob in the critically acclaimed sex comedy “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” died Wednesday after collapsing outside his Hollywood home, his manager said. Culp was 79. Manager Hillard Elkins said the actor was on a walk when he fell. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead just before noon. The actor’s son was told he died of a heart attack, Elkins said, though police were unsure if the fall was medically related. Los Angeles police Lt. Robert Binder said no foul play was suspected. Binder said a jogger found Culp, who apparently fell and struck his head. “I Spy” greatly advanced the careers of Culp and Cosby and forged a lifelong friendship. Cosby said Wednesday Culp was like an older brother to him. “The first born in every family is always dreaming of the older brother or sister he or she doesn’t have, to protect, to be the buffer, provide the wisdom, shoulder the blows and make things right,” he said. “Bob was the answer to my dreams. “No matter how many mis-

takes I made on ‘I Spy,’ he was always there to teach and protect me,” Cosby said. Candace Culp, the actor’s ex-wife, said she was

devastated. “He was a wonderful, creative man who contributed so much to his business, as an actor, as a writer, as a director,” she said. Robert Culp lately had been working on writing screenplays, Elkins said. “I Spy,” which aired from 1965 to 1968, was a television milestone in more ways than one. Its combination of humor and adventure broke new ground, and it was the first integrated television show to feature a black actor in a starring role. Culp played Kelly Robinson, a spy whose cover was that of an ace tennis player. (In real life, Culp actually was a top-notch tennis player who showed his skills in numerous celebrity tournaments.). Cosby was fellow spy Alexander Scott, whose cover was that of Culp’s trainer. The pair traveled the world in the service of the U.S. government.

Culp followed “I Spy” with his most prestigious film role, in “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.” The work of first-time director Paul Mazursky, who also co-wrote the screenplay, lampooned the lifestyles of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Bob and Carol (Culp and Natalie Wood) introduced wifeswapping to their best friends, Ted and Alice (Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon).

was in foreclosure. Still, she made some money. The European production company, Eyeworks, whose credits include “Breaking Bonaduce” and “The Biggest Loser,” signed a deal under which her children would earn nearly $250,000 over a threeyear period. Suleman also struck a deal with RadarOnline.com that came to light after the tabloid site was cited by the state labor commissioner for allegedly failing to get the required permits to videotape her children and for filming too many hours a day and too late at night. But she also spent money, too. She’s been photographed shopping at expensive stores, getting manicures and working out. Her father bought her current home in La Habra, a bedroom community of 60,000 southeast of Los Angeles, for $565,000, including a $130,000 down payment. Under the terms of the deal, Haddadin said, he was to receive $4,000 in monthly payments, followed by the balloon payment, which was due March 10. Suleman’s attorney has said Haddadin failed to disclose several major defects in the home,.

Mother struggles to love daughter she finds ugly, annoying DEAR ABBY ABIGAIL

VAN BUREN

you look at her, you may be reminded of a chapter in your life you would prefer to forget. How sad for both of you. The way you treat her, particularly in relation to her halfbrothers — will affect the way she perceives herself for the rest of her life. People whose parents treat them as unlovable often regard themselves as not “measuring up,” and it can cause self-esteem problems that last a lifetime.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION If tomorrow is your birthday: In the year ahead an unusual chain of events might motivate you to try marketing a sideline interest of yours that you always thought others would enjoy. Opportunity will be there for you, but you’ll have to be brave enough to make things happen.

People in general are likely to be more available and friendly than usual.

TWEEN 12 & 20

BY DR. ROBERT WALLACE • NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and have a wonderful relationship with my mom. We are totally open and honest in our communication with each other. I always tell her the whole truth, even if it means I might be punished. Last year, for example, she told me I couldn’t see a certain R-rated movie, but my 18-year-old boyfriend and I saw the movie together. When I got home, I told her I saw the movie, even though I would be grounded for a month. A little white lie would have saved me from this punishment, but I chose to tell the truth. Last night, my mom asked me if I have ever thought of being sexually intimate with my boyfriend. The question came out of the blue and caught me off-guard. I replied, “Mom, of course not.” Well, I lied. I have thought about it, even though I am a virgin and plan to remain one for the time being. But this doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it. In actuality, I lied to my mom and now my conscience is bothering me. Should I tell my mom that I lied? — Nameless, El Paso, Texas Nameless: You have a great relationship with your mom and certainly no need to have a guilty conscience, or to consider your mildly evasive answer a lie. Simply reopen the discussion. Tell Mom what you wrote in your letter — that you were surprised by her question and have thought about sex, but it ends there! Dr. Wallace: Please give our family a one-word answer. Don’t explain your answer. Which pet requires the least amount of care, cats or dogs? —Nameless, Galesburg, Ill. Nameless: Cats — and if your family chooses to make “Tabby” a family member, make sure he or she comes from your local animal shelter. Oops — I wrote too much. Sorry about that! • Dr. Robert Wallace writes for Copley News Service. E-mail him at rwallace@Copley News Service.

for the sake of both you and your daughter. If that isn’t possible, then I advise you to hold your tongue, control your temper and compel yourself to show your daughter approval and affection every day until it becomes a habit or she’s old enough to leave — whichever comes first. Dear Abby: My workplace has instituted “casual dress Friday,” where everyone is supposed to make a donation to a charity selected by a different employee each fortnight. While this is nice in theory, I often find that I don’t wish to donate to the chosen charity because I don’t agree with its ethics or its methods. I give regularly to charities of my choice, which I have researched beforehand, but have never been one to donate automatically to every passing collection.

How do I bow out gracefully when the collection tin comes around? I have tried to explain to my co-workers why I don’t support a particular charity and simply say I have chosen not to participate. I am met with blank stares and demands that I explain myself, and lectures about why I must “support the team.” I don’t feel my colleagues have any right to tell me what I should do with my money, but they obviously disagree and I am finding the situation very uncomfortable. Any suggestions? — Feeling Awkard in Australia Dear Feeling Awkward: The policy you describe seems more like “friendly” extortion than real charitable giving. (Is there some kind of contest going on between teams to see who can raise the most money?) While I’m all

for casual Fridays, the policy of pressuring people to give strikes me as one that should be modified or done away with completely. That’s why I think you should discuss your feelings with your supervisor or the head of the department and go on record that you prefer to give your money to causes you have researched

and with which you identify. If that doesn’t help, you may be working for the wrong company. Sorry, mate.

Elevated potassium levels could have many causes Dear Dr. Gott: Can you please address high potassium levels? My husband’s level went from 4.6 in 2008 to 5.6 in 2009. Other than food that is high in potassium, what could cause the level to jump? Should he be on a restricted diet? Can exercise bring it down? His physical this year did show his total cholesterol level rose, mainly his LDL to 143, HDL to 77 and triglycerides to 115. His blood pressure is normal. We would welcome any advice, as this is all new to us. I did search the Internet but was unable to find an answer. Dear Reader: Potassium is important for the function of nerve and muscle cells. Common causes of elevated levels (known as hyperkalemia) are acute or chronic kidney failure. A normal blood-potassium level is between 3.6 and 4.8 milliequivalents per liter, known as mEq/L. Levels above 6.0 can be the result of type 1 diabetes; Addison’s disease; angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors; alcoholism; heavy drug use; severe injury, such as burns, that cause destruction of red blood cells; and potassium supplements. As you have discovered, elevated potassium levels are commonly found when a physician orders lab testing. Let’s pause briefly here. Does your husband have a specific problem his physician was attempting to confirm or rule out? Or is he on a medication (such as an ACE inhibitor) that might require monitoring? If so, the elevation might be medication-related and can be corrected with a substitute drug. My guess is that his physician would have checked him for diabetes, so we can likely rule that out. Addison’s disease results from either partial or complete failure of the adrenal glands, which sit on top of each kidney and produce hormones that control many functions. Causes of Addison’s include tumor, bleeding into the gland, infection and autoimmune diseases. Another possibility is a false positive, and a repeat test may reveal a normal level. Elevated potassium levels can result in heart arrhythmias, weakness, fatigue, nausea and more. Treatment is commonly tied to the underlying cause, so your husband may need additional testing. At the very least, he should return to his physician for a thorough discussion of the situation and what can be done to correct it. I would be surprised if your husband’s diet were the cause of his hyperkalemia. Foods high in potassium include lima beans, bananas, cantaloupe, cooked spinach, winter squash, raisins, tomato products and more. If your husband consumes substantial amounts of the foods mentioned, he might wish to make modifications. It will not harm him to follow a low-potassium diet. In terms of his cholesterol levels, did he eat prior to the testing or did he fast? Cholesterol is fickle, and reports can be conflicting if food or drink has been ingested. You don’t

Dear Abby: I can’t stand my 10-year-old daughter. I was an 18-year-old single mother when she was born. I find her ugly and annoying. Everyone tells me how “sweet” and “pretty” she is, but I can’t see it. I dread when she comes home from school. I am not physically abusive to her — I would never do that. But I can be verbally abusive, and I know I need to stop. She just makes me so mad. I am now married with two more kids (boys), and I adore them. What’s wrong with me? How can I fix this? I’m afraid it’s too late. I have no spiritual adviser to talk to, and I can’t afford to speak to a professional counselor. — Anonymous in Washington State Dear Anonymous: The circumstances of your daughter’s birth were very different from those of your sons.
