‘Street justice’cited in beatingafter 2 killings
By Danny Barrett [email protected]
Tax revenue from Vicksburg’s five casinos plummeted in May as the Mis-sissippi River rose to record heights, but Mayor Paul Winfield said the city is not sweating it.
“The city’s going to be fine,” Win-field said. “We’ve been pretty con-servative with our revenue estimates.”
Taxes paid to the city totaled $401,398 for the month, down nearly 27 percent, compared with April, and more than 21 percent from a year ago. Amounts distributed to Warren County and the Vicksburg Warren School District were down about 18 percent for the month and about 5.5

A Tallulah man was beaten and shot at near his home Sunday night in what a Louisiana state trooper is calling a possible attempt at “street justice” related to the slayings of two young women.
Willie Brown, age and address unavailable, was treated and released from Madison Parish Hospital follow-ing the beating, said Trooper Mark Dennis, spokesman for the state police.
Though he would not identify Brown as a suspect, Dennis said reports were that the beating was in retaliation for the deaths of Jasmine Smith, 19, and her friend, Nikesha R. Washington, 18.

LeTourneau Road reopened to traffic Monday after parts west of Glass Road emerged from the Mississippi Flood of 2011 almost unscathed while inspections were to continue today at the Port of Vicksburg’s loading area, county engineers said.
“We just have to do some work on the shoulder,” County Engineer John McKee said, adding expected repairs to some edges along the eastbound lane should be less extensive than in 2008, when nearly a mile of the lane washed out. The river crested May 19 at 57.1 feet, 14.1 feet above flood stage and 6 feet higher than in 2008.
Subsurface water drained faster than expected, McKee said. The sec-tion between Glass and the plant, most susceptible to river floods, had closed May 6. No specific flood-related weight restriction is expected for trucks, which motored freely Monday.
Nearly all of LeTourneau Tech-nologies’ 600 or so employees have returned to work, with the river-side yard running a pair of 12-hour shifts, plant manager Bo-D Massey said. A reduced work crew had boated onto the property from early
May until last week, when the main access road to the plant became fully passable, though left dusty from receding river water.
“We’re back at about 90 percent and doing flood cleanup,” Massey said.
Panel heading to Mendenhallto study jail under constructionBy Danny Barrett [email protected]
It’s road trip time again for county officials in the quest to gauge sites for a new jail — this time, it’s a proposed multifunction jail under construction in Mendenhall.
On Thursday, three mem-bers of the county’s jail committee will tour con-struction work on a Simp-son County jail, said Dis-trict 1 Supervisor David McDonald, who represents supervisors on the panel of judges, clerks and others who work closely with the legal system.
McDonald, Circuit Court Judge Jim Chaney and Cen-tral District Justice Court Judge James Jefferson will make the trip, McDonald said.
In January 2010, McDon-ald and sheriff’s depart-ment officials visited jails in Kentucky and Indiana as part of a comprehen-sive study completed three months later. At least one more trip is planned this year, to the Caddo Parish jail in Shreveport, McDon-ald said.

Green Hills takes national award for Sister Isabel’s GardenBy Mary Margaret [email protected]
The women of Green Hills Garden Club of Vicksburg have taken home another award for their work in Sister Isabel’s Garden, this time at the national level.
“I was truly dumbfounded,” said Janis Koestler, president of Green Hills Garden Club of Vicksburg, an affiliate of
Garden Clubs of Mississippi Inc.
The national recognition, a certificate of merit for historic preservation, came after the group received a first-place state award in May for the group’s work in the garden on the Adams Street side of Southern Cultural Heritage Center.
Sister Mary Isabel Rand, R.S.M., lived at the Sisters of
Mercy Convent and tended the garden in the early 1900s to use its yield for the kitchen and flowers for the tables at St. Francis Xavier Academy where she taught.
Two years ago, Green Hills Garden Club stepped up to bring the garden back to life.
“It’s a work in progress,” said Koestler. “It’s little, but we’re very proud of it.”
The club was recognized this month at the National Garden Clubs convention in Washington, D.C.
The club, which has 26 members whose ages range from 40 to 90, had full partici-pation in the project.
“Everyone contributed somehow,” Koestler said. “That’s something that helped us win this award.”
Koestler said members
were surprised and excited to learn of their award.
“Everyone was happy,” Koestler said. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would win at a national level.”
But the work does not stop there.
“Now we have to stay on top of it,” Koestler said. “Our goal is to have something bloom-ing out there year-round.”
Second teen is missing in Woodlands break-inA Vicksburg teen accused
Monday of breaking into a house and shoving a younger teen remained in the Warren County Jail this morning, and police were continuing to look for a second suspect, police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
Tarik Hall, 17, 334 Shady Lane, was being held on a $25,000 bond for burglary of a home in the 4000 block of Woodlands Circle at 8 a.m., Stewart said.
Hall, a student at Vicksburg High School, was charged as an adult after his arrest on nearby Porters Chapel Road,
Stewart said.Stewart said two teens set
off the burglar alarm when they broke in and a 13-year-old resident in the house went to check on the alarm and surprised the pair. Police were still looking for the second teen.
“She was coming out of one room and he (Hall) was coming out of another room, and they scared each other,” Stewart said.
He said Hall shoved the girl
out of his way and fled the house.
Vicksburg man heldon Kentucky warrant
A Vicksburg man was being held at the Vicks-burg Police Department this morning after being arrested on a warrant from Kentucky, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
Troy Brock, 41, 5610 U.S.61 South, was arrested at the Riverfront Park, 249 Cash-man Drive, Monday at 7:43 a.m. when police responded
to a report of a suspicious person.
After a records check, police found a 2010 warrant for rape and sodomy from Garrard County, Ky., Stew-art said.
Brock was being held without bond pending extradition.
TV reported missingon Elizabeth Circle
A residential burglary was reported at 2 a.m. in the 100 block of Elizabeth Circle, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby
Stewart said.Missing from the home
was a 42-inch, flat-screen TV valued at $450.
Purse reported stolenfrom BMW on Lummie
An auto burglary was reported at 3:45 p.m. Monday, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.
A 2008 BMW was parked in the 1300 block of Lummie Street, and missing from the vehicle was a Coach purse valued at $150.

FDA gets graphic on cigarette packsRICHMOND, Va. (AP) — In
the most significant change to U.S. cigarette packs in 25 years, the Food and Drug Administration today released nine new warning labels that depict in graphic detail the negative health effects of
tobacco use.Among the images to appear
on cigarette packs are rotting and diseased teeth and gums and a man with a tracheotomy smoking.
Also included among the labels are: the corpse of a
smoker, diseased lungs, and a mother holding her baby with smoke swirling around them. They include phrases like “Smoking can kill you” and “Cigarettes cause cancer” and feature graphic images to convey the dangers of tobacco,
which is responsible for about 443,000 deaths in the U.S. a year.
Each label includes a national quit smoking hotline number.
The labels will take up the top half, both front and back.

Inspectors should get a better look at the port’s T-dock crane support plat-form and the overhead crane itself today with the arrival of an extra person, McKee said. Both were out of com-mission for nearly all of May as the river backed up into the Yazoo Diversion Canal and the slackwater harbor. Cargo moved a week ago for the first time in weeks, port officials said.
The five-member Warren County Port Commission voted Monday to include an option to extend Kinder Morgan’s current deal by six months to accommodate the company’s most recent industrial mover.
Barges backed up during intermittent river traffic restrictions in May, weeks after the port voted April 18 to extend the company’s lease for a year to preserve a deal with DuPont to ship
mineral ore through the port. Supply orders are backed up and may last beyond Decem-ber 2012, when the recent extension expires, said Tom Murphree, Kinder Morgan regional sales manger.
“They can’t guarantee that,” Murphree said. “That’s why they want the option.”
In another flood-related development, the Warren County Road Department has returned the Kings Point Ferry to its anchor spot at Chickasaw, though depart-ment manager Richard Winans said mud prevents resuming operations.
JailContinued from Page A1.
County facility will accom-modate 150 beds for county inmates and an additional 50 beds for state prisoners, with a sheriff’s department office and justice courtroom inside it. The architect and builder is Jackson-based Benchmark Construction.
McDonald said he has talked with the firm about available places to build a jail in Warren County — a topic for which supervisors accepted eight proposals in May and a ninth after a May 15 deadline. McDonald, a three-term supervisor seek-ing re-election in Novem-ber, has favored openly building inside the county-owned “spec building” at Ceres Research and Indus-trial Interplex. On Monday, he said he still favors build-ing there to save the added cost of purchasing land, but admitted the site’s distance from the courthouse is a drawback. McDonald also favors having one entity design and build the jail.
“With architect fees around 8 to 12 percent,” McDon-ald said, “you could save a couple million dollars.”
Meanwhile, engineers are studying potential jail sites from those who responded to a request for proposals, County Administrator John Smith said.
The board sought 15-acre or larger parcels within a reasonable distance from major transportation routes and utilities.
Details on each proposal opened by a separate, five-person committee showed some offered up to three par-cels as large as 200 acres. McDonald said some could be “kicked out automati-cally” because of one-way in, one-way out access or if the
elevation varied too greatly.About 200 acres off Fisher
Ferry Road offered by the City of Vicksburg was once eyed as a sports complex. Property available for devel-opment “has sufficient sur-rounding land to act as a buffer to screen the building if so desired by the county, it says.
Additional proposals, with size and locations, were:• A 195-acre tract off Fisher
Ferry and Halls Ferry Road, proposed by Rice Realty Group Inc.
• Three parcels off Berryman Road, ranging from eight to 60 acres, proposed by Jerry Beard.
• A 47.8-acre parcel off U.S. 80 behind the former Pin-ewood motel, proposed by Gay M. Strong.
• Land on each side of Alcorn Drive, totaling 33 to 40 acres, proposed by TellPark LLC and Nogales Proper-ties LLC. The offer was sent in after the deadline, but is still being considered along with others.
• A 30- to 32-acre site across from Vicksburg National Military Park, south of Clay Street, proposed by Mel-born Estates LLC.
• A 29-acre tract on the west side of Mississippi 27, pro-posed by Highway 27 Devel-opment LLC.
• A 28-acre tract at the end of Vinson Road, off Stan-dard Hill Road, proposed by attorney Bill Bost on behalf of J.R. Curry.
• About 18 acres off Manor Drive and Bazinsky Road, proposed by real estate broker John Arnold, who opposes McDonald in the Aug. 2 Republican primary for the Distrct 1 seat.
On the agendaMeeting Monday, mem-
bers of the Warren County Board of Supervisors:• Approved an improvement-
based ad valorem tax ex-emption through 2020 to Cooper Lighting, Falco Chemical and Polyvulc USA.Exemptions based on physi-
cal plant upgrades and new equipment reduce amounts paid in city and county taxes by qualifying businesses. They do not exempt school and state taxes.
The lighting systems-mak-er’s application was based on $643,602.41 spent on a litany of upgrades tied to energy-ef-ficient LED lighting products in 2010, among them a new shipping roof and a dust type collection system. City officials accepted the company’s ex-
emption application May 25. New purchases at Falco in-
cluded three Dell computers and various material screen-ing-related devices totaling $341,600. New equipment at Polyvulc included a wheel loader and two steel-sepa-rating tire shredders, totaling $327,350.• Approved an historic district
tax abatement for the Baz-sinsky House, 1022 Mon-roe St.
• Approved reappointment of fire protection district com-missioners Gary D. Walker (Bovina), Jeff Harold (Culkin), Ronnie Richardson (Fisher Ferry) and Clyde Robertson (Eagle Lake).
• Passed a resolution honoring Warren County-Vicksburg Public Library employee Lot-tie Walker, who is retiring.

What should we take away from the following story?
Once upon a time, the man who was given charge of all the secrets of the nation was then given charge of all of its soldiers and weapons. And none of the people’s represen-tatives seemed to give a fi g that this same man, once upon another time, was very close to a minion of the nation’s mortal enemy — that the man even read the minion’s praises into the Congressional record and later spoke at his funeral.
None of the people’s representa-tives cared to ask why this was so. Nor did they care to ask themselves whether such a man, who also sup-ported an organization dedicated to advancing the mortal enemy’s polit-ical interests here in Washington during a time of “cold” hostilities, is the right man to oversee, fi rst, the nation’s secrets, and now its military. Does the man have second thoughts about his past views or associations? How might they affect the man’s current duties? Not one U.S. senator has bothered to ask.
“The man” is Leon Panetta, Presi-dent Barack Obama’s unconven-tional choice to head the CIA in 2009, now his choice to head the Pentagon. This week, Panetta was
unanimously approved by the Senate Armed Services Commit-tee for the defense post, and will be considered by the full Senate next week.
There is something troubling here. Researchers Cliff Kincaid and Trevor Loudon have dug up docu-mentation in the archives of the University of Washington of a cor-dial, long-term relationship in the 1970s and 1980s between Panetta, a member of the Congress between 1977 and 1993, and Hugh DeLacy, a Communist Party USA member elected to one term in Congress pretending to be a Democrat in 1944. DeLacy later co-founded the communist-penetrated Progressive Party that nominated Henry Wal-
lace for president in 1948. By the 1970s, DeLacy was still
politically active, with connections to known Soviet agents including Victor Perlo of the infamous Perlo spy group, and Frank Coe and Solo-mon Adler of the equally infamous Silvermaster spy group. DeLacy is also associated with suspected Soviet agent John Stewart Service of the “Amerasia” spy case. More-over, DeLacy was of suffi cient inter-est to Communist China to have scored a paid junket to the People’s Republic in 1974. There, Loudon reports, DeLacy met up with Ser-vice, Coe and Adler, who was then thought to be working for Chinese intelligence.
“Within two years,” Loudon said
in a recent online interview with Jerry Kenney, “DeLacy was in reg-ular contact with Leon Panetta, grilling him and regularly asking him for military and defense and foreign-policy-related information, which Panetta heavily supplied him.”
That, once upon a time, was your CIA-director-turned Defense sec-retary-designate at work. Which makes this story of his completely unquestioned rise to national power and responsibility more like a nightmare.
Of course, there’s more. Kin-caid and Loudon cite Panetta’s extremely troubling ties to the Institute for Policy Studies, the pro-Soviet, anti-American think tank in Washington, D.C., that never met a communist dictatorship it didn’t like. Neither, it seems, did Panetta, who openly supported the IPS (serving on an anniversary fund-raising committee) while opposing Ronald Reagan’s efforts to bring down the Soviet-supported Sand-inista regime in Nicaragua. Indeed, as Kincaid reports, Panetta was in 1984 pulling for normalization of relations with the Sandinistas. The New American’s Christian Gomez points out that as a congressman,
Panetta wanted to extend most-favored nation trade status to the USSR and Eastern “Bloc” coun-tries. He also voted to cede control of the Panama Canal to the pro-Soviet Panamanian government, and against renewing our defen-sive treaty with anti-Communist Taiwan. In this late stage of the Cold War, Panetta, to boot, publicly extolled the work of a female con-stituent with a Soviet front group.
Questions your elected repre-sentatives neglected to ask: Does Panetta now consider himself to have been ... duped? Does he believe that he pursued policies placing himself on the wrong side of the Cold War? Should he serve out his tenure at the CIA and begin another one at the Pentagon with-out anyone bothering to inquire? More important, is he really the right man for this job?
No. And what should we take away
from the whole story?Our legislative branch is falling
asleep on the job over stories that should be giving them — and us — night sweats.

LibyaIn olden days in foreign lands,
the king only had to say, “Attack!” and the nation went to war, for whatever reason he desired. President Barack Obama’s mili-tary engagement in Libya’s ongo-ing war looks more like royal sovereignty than American con-stitutional government. Our founders constitutionally curbed executive power, requiring presi-dents to fi rst secure Congress’ consent before committing American military forces to life and death struggles with foreign nations.
Since the last congressio-nally declared war (World War II), even the Constitution has proved too little and too vague. Presidents have committed U.S. military forces to multi-ple, prolonged, costly engage-ments without declarations of war, at the cost of tens of thou-sands of lives. In 1973, Congress sought to legitimize the latitude assumed by presidents by pass-ing the War Powers Act. It allows presidents to commit to military
engagement for up to 60 days if the United States is under attack. After that, presidents must jus-tify to Congress further action and obtain approval.
Obama, it appears, won’t be constrained by either the Con-stitution or the War Powers Act. Libya has not attacked us, and even though Obama con-cedes the North African nation doesn’t threaten U.S. interests, he has committed military forces to a NATO-led war waged since March 17. His fi rst explanation was that civilians must be pro-tected from their ruler, Moam-mar Gadhafi , but since, has urged the ousting of the Libyan dictator. Launching his campaign, Obama deigned to seek the blessings of NATO and the United Nations, but not Congress.
Although the president pledges to commit no ground troops, U.S. involvement is integral to the NATO assault, which likely would fail without the American mili-tary. Moreover, Russian deputy prime minister Sergei Ivanov
interpreted recent NATO helicop-ter attacks as, “one step before the land operation.”
Incrementally, the Libyan war grows beyond Obama’s stated intentions.
A nonbinding 268-145 biparti-san congressional vote on June 3 scolded the president and demanded he explain his justi-fi cation, or risk funding being cut off. The War Powers’ 60-day period expired nearly a month ago, but we agree with Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., that the U.S.’ unprovoked involvement didn’t allow Obama even that grace period.
McClintock sums up Obama’s war justifi cation well: “The presi-dent may attack any country he wants for any reason he wants and the Congress has no choice but to follow.” Obama must act presidential, not kingly. He must either end U.S. military involve-ment or come before Congress to ask its approval.
Explain yourself, Mr. President

Q: I will be 70 years old in July. I have two annuities for a total of $21,000. I was told that I would have to start draw-ing out some money after 70 years. My question is what to do, how much to draw. Take it all out or invest and take a hit with higher taxes for the year? — Mike, via e-mail
A: You mentioned that you have these two annuities and then write that you’re 70 years old. That would apply in the event that the annuities are invested in some type of an IRA. Why in the world would anyone sell you an annuity, which offers some type of tax shelter, when you already have it in the IRA? That is difficult for me to understand. The answer is usually a very aggressive annuity sales-person. In the event that the money is in an IRA, you have no option and must withdraw the prescribed amount. The wonderful theory is that you
will make withdraw-als relative to your age, and the money will run out when your pre-dicted “depar-ture”
takes place. In the event that these are just some type of tax-deferred annuities, you can make a decision whether that tax benefit or whatever they are producing is worth keeping them. You didn’t men-tion how long ago you bought them. Most annuities have a heavy-duty penalty when pre-maturely redeemed, another variable to consider.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will move the United States a step closer to ending the war in Afghanistan when he announces plans Wednes-day to bring thousands of American troops home, beginning next month.
Admin-istration officials said the president was still in the final phase of a decision-making
process that has focused not only on how many troops will come home in July, but also on a broader withdrawal blueprint designed to put the U.S. on a path toward giving Afghans control of their security by 2014.
Officials said Obama was expected to lay out at least two benchmarks for bring-ing troops home.
IgnITIng conTroversyMccain under fire for blamingWestern blazes on immigrants
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) — As if Arizona’s immigra-tion debate wasn’t already hot, Sen. John McCain has ignited a barrage of criticism by saying that there is “substantial evi-dence” that illegal immigrants are partly responsible for wild-fires in the state.
McCain is standing by the statement he made over the weekend as he toured a mas-sive wildfire in eastern Ari-zona, but immi-grant rights advocates say the state’s senior senator is using illegal immigrants a s s c a p e -goats. Author-i t i e s h ave said humans started the three major blazes in Arizona, but investigators don’t know any more details.
“It’s his constant refrain for everything that ails man-kind,” said Roberto Reveles, the founding president and a current member of the Phoe-
nix-based Hispanic civil rights group Somos America. “It just seems like we have an epidemic of, ‘Blame it all on the illegal aliens, blame it all on the Mex-icans.’ It’s amazing that the public doesn’t rebel against this type of scapegoating.”
Appearing at a weekend news conference, McCain said that illegal immigrants “have set fires because they wanted to signal others .... and they have set fires because they wanted to divert law enforcement agencies.”
Today, McCain said in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show he was “puzzled” by the firestorm that has erupted after his remarks.
“We know that people who come across our border ille-gally ... that these fires are sometimes, some of them, caused by this,” he said. McCain added, “I’m puzzled ... that there should be any controversy.” He said he was merely repeating information he’d been given during a brief-ing with federal officials.
Rep. Weiner’s resignationwill be official at midnight
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Anthony Weiner’s last day in Congress will be today, he has told House and New York State officials.
“I hereby resign as the member of the House of Rep-resentatives for New York’s ninth congressional district effective at midnight, Tues-day, June 21, 2011,” he wrote in a letter dated Monday. “It has been an honor to serve the people of Queens and Brooklyn.”
Weiner’s departure can’t come soon enough for House Democrats, who called for
Weiner’s res-ignation after the married congress-man admit-ted tweeting messages and explicit p h o t o s o f himself to
six women. Weiner announced last Thurs-day that he would step down after 13 years in office.
His congressional staff will report to the House clerk until a new representative is elected.

dr. James Edward Booth
EUPORA — Dr. James Edward Booth passed away at the University of Missis-sippi Medical Center in Jack-son, on Friday, June 17, 2011, at age 86 after a triumphant and distinguished life.
Dr. Booth was born in Choctaw County on April 25, 1925, the son of Sara Tabitha Chandler and Jim Char-lie Booth. He was born as the sun was coming up in their old family home and his mother always said it was the prettiest sunrise she had ever seen. He graduated from Eupora High School in 1943 and was drafted into the U.S. Army. He served in the European theater as an infantry rifleman and machine gunner of the Third Platoon, Co. A, 62nd Infantry Battalion, 14th Armored Divi-sion. He served under Gens. Sandy Patch and George S. Patton in the invasion of
France and Germany during the Battle of the Bulge. He made two return trips to Europe, in 1970 and 1995, retracing his battle routes and found his fox holes in the forests and other nostalgic points.
Dr. Booth attended Clark College for two years and graduated cum laude from Mississippi College at Clin-ton in 1950 with a B.S. degree. At both Clark College and Mississippi College, he was the pianist for the Bap-tist Student Union. Dr. Booth was majoring in English and music, planning to coach bas-ketball and teach English. He was setting the grading curve in the premedical zool-ogy class. He decided if he could set the curve, he could be a doctor, too! After that, he never looked back. Medi-cine afforded him the oppor-tunity to serve mankind, save lives and bring healing to thousands of individuals.
In 1952, he was accepted at what was then the two-year medical school of the University of Mississippi on the Oxford campus before the medical school was built in Jackson. He was then accepted at the University of Alabama Medical School in Birmingham and received the M.D. degree in 1954. He served a rotating internship at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
Dr. Booth began gen-eral practice in July 1955 in Eupora, when he and Dr. B.H. Putman purchased Curry Clinic from Inez Curry upon the death of Dr, Hugh H. Curry. Dr. Putman left Eupora shortly after-ward; Dr. Booth did gen-eral practice for seven years in Eupora and operated a 30-bed clinic hospital.
Dr. Booth, along with local and county officials and attorneys, was instrumen-tal in passing petitions and getting approval for building and financing of the hospi-tal in Eupora. He closed his clinic and hospital and trans-ferred his patients by ambu-lance to the new hospital June 1, 1962.
In July 1962, Dr. Booth was accepted for a four-year general surgery residency at the University of Missis-sippi in Jackson, where he was chief resident in 1965-1966, and studied under the world renowned surgeon, Dr. James D. Hardy. Dr. Booth scrubbed with Dr. Hardy on the world’s first adrenal and autoimmune kidney trans-plant from flank to groin. In preparation for the world’s first human heart transplant, Dr. Booth provided testing with dogs in the lab.
Dr. Booth had the opportu-nity to work with and study under some of the lead-ing doctors in the U.S.: Dr. Arthur Guyton, author of “Textbook of Medical Physi-ology” used by medical stu-dents around the world; Dr. Arthur Derian, orthopedic surgeon; and Dr. Curtis Artz, who was distinguished for treating burns in World War II.
After passing the qualify-ing oral and written exami-nations, making the third- highest grade on the oral exams east of the Missis-sippi, he became a diplomat of the American Board of Surgery. He was a Fellow in the American College of Sur-geons. He held memberships
in the Southeastern Surgical Congress, American Medi-cal Association, Mississippi State Medical Association and North Central Medical Society.
Dr. Booth met the love of his life, Mattelyn Reed, when he came to Eupora to prac-tice in 1955. He made house calls to see her grandpar-ents and bought a house “up the street” from her parents. Mattelyn was a piano stu-dent and had recently given a graduate piano recital. Dr. Booth invited her up to his house to play his new piano-organ. Mattelyn was enrolled at Millsaps College and bor-rowed a medical book from Dr. Booth when she was writ-ing a term paper in zoology. The rest is history!
Dr. Booth was very civic- minded. He was a very active member of the Eupora Rotary Club, where he was a past president and recipient of the Rotarian of the Year award. He was a member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was the past president of the Mississippi Chapter of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge. In 2006, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Webster County. In 2005, he was the Biology Alumnus of the year for Mis-sissippi College. In 2003, he received the Woodmen of the World’s Outstanding Citizen-ship Award. He was a devout Christian, church member, choir member and lifetime deacon.
One of his passions was genealogy. He contributed to the “Webster County History Book,” “Choctaw County His-tory Book” and the “Jennings Family History Book.” He had a vast knowledge of the history of most families in Choctaw and Webster coun-ties. He always said there were never two families who were not connected in some way!
Dr. Booth and Mattelyn made sure that their children met Jesus at an early age. They instilled in them the love of music and singing. The Booth Family sang and performed music programs all over the state.
He was not only a good man, but a great one, decent, kind, gentle-mannered, pos-sessing humility. He was soft-spoken, which defined
his personality. He had an easy-going demeanor with gentle bedside manners and treated all individuals with dignity and respect. He had an incredible wit and a quick laugh. He adhered to a high moral standard, uncompro-mising fait, and a sense of character, a gentleman and physician without paral-lel. The people of Eupora, Webster and surrounding counties are much richer for having received his surgical skills and medical knowledg, and the poorer for his pass-ing from us.
Survivors are his wife, Mattelyn Reed Booth, his children, Gwendolyn Childs Booth Wilson (Randy ), Anne Reed Booth Ross (Henry), Judith Lee Booth Buys (Mark), Tabitha Caroline Booth Browder (Thomas) and James Edward Booth Jr. (Rachel); grandchildren, Arey Caroline Childs Wilson, Herman Henry Ross III, John Williams Ross, Catherine Elizabeth Ross, Mark Talbot Buys Jr., Anne Elizabeth Buys, Benjamin Booth Buys, Reed Washburn Buys, James Edward Booth III and Emma Kathryn Booth; a sister, Ruth Booth Rowlen; brothers, Glenn Harold Booth, Thomas Marion Booth and Homer Lee Booth; and numerous cousins.
The family would like to thank: Dr. Everette McKib-ben, Dr. Jack Huffman, the Neuroscience ICU unit at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Gilbert’s Home Health Agency, Stacy Bradford and Willie Reed, manager of Pryor Funeral Home.
Visitation was Sunday, June 19, 2011, at Eupora First United Methodist Church. Funeral services were at 2 p.m. Monday, June 20, 2011, at Eupora First United Meth-odist Church. Graveside ser-vices with military honors followed the service at the Eupora City Cemetery.

percent for the year.The county’s take for May
was $189,015. The school dis-trict’s take was $51,340.
High water caused lengthy closures for most of the 19 riverfront casinos, mostly in Tunica County. In Vicks-burg, two closed when parts of buildings took on water — DiamondJacks for 36 days and Rainbow for 14.
Flooding also took a chunk out of Mississippi’s state-licensed casino winnings in May. Casinos on the river won only $41 million last
month, compared with $107.8 million in May 2010 and $101.8 million in April 2011, the Mississippi Department of Revenue said Monday.
The 11 Gulf Coast casinos, which weren’t affected by flooding, won $96.2 million last month for a statewide May total of $137.2 million — down 32.4 percent from $203.1 million in May 2010. The coastal casinos won $95.3 million in May 2010 and $87.4 million in April 2011.
The statewide tally for April 2011 was $189.3 million.
The shutdowns, which averaged three to four weeks for each riverfront casino, resulted in the loss of $7.9 million in casino taxes, when compared with May 2010, said Allen Godfrey, deputy director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Of those lost taxes, about $2.6 million was taken from local governments, he said.
In addition, an undeter-mined amount of sales taxes were lost after casino hotels and restaurants were shut-tered during high water, God-
frey said.“That was a pretty serious
hit,” Godfrey said.Although about 12,500
people work in the river casi-nos, including about 2,000 in Vicksburg, most employ-ees were paid through the shutdowns.
“Most people don’t know that. The casino indus-try really stepped up to the plate, but they took it on the chin,” Godfrey said.
The shutdowns hit as the casino industry continues trying to rebound from the
Great Recession. Money for discretionary spending and travel has been tight for indi-viduals, while businesses have been carefully watching dollars spent on conventions, a lucrative target of casinos.
Analysts also have said that recent high gasoline prices have been a drag on business.
The figures do not include Indian reservation casinos, which are not required to report their winnings to the public.

City delays action on flood debris bidsBy John [email protected]
Two companies submit-ted bids Monday to oversee the cleanup of flood debris in Vicksburg, and the Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Alder-men decided to table opening them.
“We could open them this afternoon, or we could open them Tuesday or Wednesday,” Mayor Paul Winfield said after the meeting. “We’re not sure yet.”
The bids are from True North Emergency Management of Fort Worth, Texas, and IMS Engineering of Jackson until an unspecified date.
The board at a June 14 spe-cial meeting authorized city clerk Walter Osborne to seek two bids — one for a com-pany to oversee and moni-tor the cleanup, and another to remove and dispose of the debris.
Winfield said Monday the city delayed seeking bids for the cleanup after meeting Thursday with Federal Emer-gency Management Agency officials about the agency’s regulations for reimbursing cities and counties for flood cleanup.
He said one FEMA program did not apply to the city’s plans
because the work had to be done within 72 hours. He said the city was looking at alter-native FEMA reimbursement
programs.He said contractors looking
to bid on the flood cleanup must submit their bids by 5
p.m. Wednesday. The bids are expected to be opened at the board’s Friday meeting.
On the agendaMeeting Monday, the Vicksburg Board of
Mayor and Aldermen:• Approved the minutes of the April 4 board
meeting.• Took under advisement a $137 per ton bid
from Falco Lime for pebble lime, and a bid for traffic management supplies from Cus-tom Products Co. of Jackson. The Custom Products bid was made per item for 50 items.
• Tabled until Friday was an item authoriz-ing Mayor Paul Winfield to execute a grant agreement between the city and the Missis-sippi Department of Environmental Quality for a pilot residential recycling program for the city.
• Designated Marcia Weaver as the city’s agent for the Federal Emergency Management Agency Mississippi River Flood 2011 Pro-gram for public assistance reimbursement.
• Authorized applying for a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant under the 2011 Farmers’ Market Promotion Program.Weaver said the city could receive up to
$100,000 with no match for the city’s Farm-ers’ Market. She said the money would be used to improve and expand the market. The board named Weaver as the city’s agent for the grant.• Approved a $9,730 purchase order to
Schmooze Communications LLC to pur-chase a telephone server for City Hall.
• Authorized Winfield to execute an agree-ment with the Mississippi State Fire Acad-emy for a driver/operator pumper field course from Aug. 1-12 in Vicksburg.
• Accepted the donation of a 50-foot-by-150-foot tract of land on Hall Road from the O’Sullivan Trust Estate. The land is near a city street right of way.
• Authorized a special assessment and ap-proved a resolution to cut and clean lots in the city: Cairo Drive, Signal Hill Realty c/o David Boolos; 1742 Martin Luther King Drive, State of Mississippi; 1837 Cherry St., Henry E. McGrew Jr.; 534 Feld St., Joseph Kings Jr. estate; 2215 Letita St., Leola John-son Estate c/o Earlean Cogg; 2310 Pearl St., Bert Goodman et al; 1200 Harrison St., George Jr. and Alberta Ivy; and 2312 Pearl St., Betty J. Brown and Janice Brown.
• Authorized city director of buildings and in-spections Victor Gray-Lewis to cut the grass and clean off lots at 1610 and 1617 Sky Farm Ave.
• Tabled a request from Kimberly Wilson, Mis-sissippi’s Perfect Miss, to buy an ad in the America’s Perfect Pageant program for the pageant in August in Florida.
• Approved adding city building maintenance employee Charles Smith to the city employ-ee driving list.
Smith’s body was found Saturday morning behind a chain link fence in the back of Tallulah City Park. Wash-ington’s body was found about a mile away Friday night in a wooded area behind Wright Elementary School.
Authorities have not said how the women died.
Brown was indicted by a Madison Parish grand jury a year ago on charges of forc-ible rape, and Smith report-edly cooperated in the inves-tigation against him. Brown
recently bonded out of jail, but a spokesman with the Madison Parish District Attorney’s Office could not provide details.
Family members of Smith, who had a 3-year-old son and lived with her grandmother near the Tallulah City Park, have reportedly accused him of her death.
“Three individuals dressed in black battered or assaulted him enough that he had to seek medical treatment,” Dennis said. “I can’t say definitely that Willie Brown was assaulted as a part of this case. It could have been random.”
No suspects have been
named in the women’s deaths, and authorities also are not releasing the cause of death or any details other than where the bodies were found. Dennis would not say if a weapon was found.
“We don’t want to do any-thing to hinder the investi-gation,” he said. “No details will be released until after an arrest is made.”
Four agencies are working on the investigation, Dennis said: state police, Tallulah Police Department, Madison Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Sixth District Attorney’s Office. The other agencies did not respond this morning to requests for information.
Tallulah, a city of about 9,000 residents and the seat of Madison Parish, is about 20 miles west of Vicksburg, just north of Interstate 20.
Dennis said tensions in the city are extremely high, with rampant rumors, hearsay and the apparent instance of vigilante justice threatening to impede the investigation.
“We conduct a profes-sional investigation and we don’t need people taking it upon themselves to arrest anybody,” Dennis said. “Our detectives are working and working hard,” he said.
He asked that anyone with information about the deaths to contact authorities.

SIdELINESRed bull setto leave NASCAR
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —The owner of energy drink Red Bull plans to leave NASCAR at the end of this season, The Associ-ated Press has learned.
Multiple people famil-iar with the decision say a team official traveled to Michigan Speedway and told industry leaders Sunday of the impending move. The people spoke on condition of anonym-ity because an official announcement has not been made to team em-ployees.
Red Bull is both the owner and sponsor of the two-car NASCAR team. The team has struggled since its 2007 entry into NASCAR and consistent-ly has been plagued by rumors and speculation that the Austrian owner-ship group will leave the auto racing series.
No reason for Red Bull’s leaving has been given, but the energy drink markets to the 18-to-34 age group — the demo-graphic NASCAR has con-sistently lost in its current ratings slide.
Kasey Kahne posted on his Twitter page Monday that he had just heard the news and vowed his No. 4 Toyota team would finish out the season strong.

Hudson’s homer propels Braves to winBy The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — Tim Hudson isn’t about to make a case for ending baseball’s designated hitter rule.
“No, no,” he said. “We (stink), honestly. I was hitting .040 coming into this game.”
Hudson pitched eight scoreless innings and hit his second career home run in the Atlanta Braves’ 2-0 vic-tory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.
Hudson (6-6) allowed two hits, one walk and struck out a season-high eight, includ-ing the 1,600th of his career. He took Ricky Romero (6-7) deep to make it 2-0 with two outs in the seventh.
“It’s hard to say there’s any-thing better,” Hudson said. “Obviously, you (nearly)
throw a shutout and hit a homer, you win the game. It was fun, man, It was a lot of fun.”
Toronto has lost two straight and five of seven.
Hudson retired 20 straight batters before Mike McCoy walked to lead off the ninth and advanced to second on Yunel Escobar’s infield single.
Closer Craig Kimbrel struck out Corey Patterson, Jose Bautista and Adam Lind to earn his 20th save in 25 chances.
“Kimbrel’s just got over-powering stuff,” Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. “He shut us down right there.”
Bautista, who began the game leading the major leagues with a .483 on-base
percentage, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts to snap a streak of reaching base in 24 straight games.
Toronto hadn’t been shut out since losing 9-0 at home to Detroit on May 7. But the Blue Jays were nearly punch-less against Hudson, who had gone 1-4 with a 5.80 ERA in his previous seven starts — a streak that began with a one-hit home shutout of Mil-waukee on May 4.
Romero escaped trouble with runners in scoring posi-tion during the first, second, fourth and sixth innings but he made a mistake with a fastball to Hudson, whose homer landed in the seats in left field.

ST. LOUIS — Conclud-ing a news briefing about Albert Pujols’ injury that killed the mood at Tony La Russa’s charity golf event, the St. Louis Car-dinals manager let down his guard.
“I’m going to go find a place to cry,” La Russa said.
Pujols will be out an esti-mated six weeks with a fractured left wrist from a first-base colli-sion over the weekend. Baseball will be without a three-time NL MVP and the Cardinals, tied for first in the NL Cen-tral, are left to absorb another devastating blow in a season marred by injuries.
“You can’t replace a player of his magnitude,” general manager John Mozeliak said. “It just seems like we’ve had to deal with one injury after another.
“We still have to find ways to win games, and that’s what we’ll do.”
The team announced the results of an MRI and CT scan Monday, one day after Pujols was injured during a home game against Kansas City. The injury is a non-displaced fracture of the left radius bone and his arm is in a splint.
Mozeliak said he hoped to have Pujols back by the beginning of August and the team anticipated no lingering effects from what the general man-ager described as a small fracture. Mozeliak said Pujols’ left shoulder was sore but no structural damage was found.
Though his .279 aver-age is 50 points below his career numbers, Pujols was starting to heat up after a slow start and

Colonel Reb is back. Well, sort of.
The former Ole Miss mascot returned to Vicks-burg as the Colonel Reb Foundation kicked off its road tour of the state Monday at Toney’s Restau-rant and Lounge.
Colonel Reb was banned from the sidelines in 2003 and was replaced — after a 2009 student election — by the Rebel Black Bear, who made his debut on April 5 in Jackson.
Vicksburg native Kayo Dot-tley, who played football for the Rebels in the 1940s and is a member of the M Club Hall of Fame, was passionate in his defense of Colonel Reb.
“I’m used to getting every-thing I want,” Dottley said with a laugh. “I want Ole Miss and... I want Colonel Reb as our mascot.”
The Colonel Reb Founda-tion, which was started by former student Brian Fer-guson while he was at Ole Miss in 2003, dropped off a 4,000-signature petition at the office of Ole Miss Chancel-lor Dan Jones and put up a billboard on one of the roads near the university clamor-
ing for Colonel Reb’s return.But for the first time, the
group is taking its show and cause on the road with additional stops scheduled for Natchez, McComb, Hat-tiesburg, Pascagoula, Biloxi, Meridian and Jackson.
Each stop will feature an appearance by Colonel Reb and a former Ole Miss great. Dottley spoke at the Vicksburg gathering, with Biloxi mayor A.J. Holloway, Kris Mangum, Red Owens and Ben Williams making appearances at the other stops.
“We’re getting on the road promoting the Colonel and promoting the pride that a lot of the fans have that have disagreed with the univer-sity,” said Ferguson, who is the foundation’s chair-man. “Any time you alien-ate season ticket-holders and million-dollar donors, there is something wrong in that.”
The event was designed
to bring together fans of the former mascot, who want to see him prowling the side-lines at Ole Miss again. The costume, bought by the foundation and nicknamed “Colonel Too,” has been making appearances at Ole Miss home and away sport-ing events as the group tries to get the word out that the fight has only began.
Vicksburg’s Dottley, who wore a golf shirt with the former mascot logo, is an outspoken advocate for returning to what he con-siders one of the core Rebel traditions.
“I love Ole Miss and any-thing I say is not a knock at Ole Miss, because that’s where my heart is,” the former Ole Miss All-Amer-ican said. “A black bear means nothing to me. It can be a white bear, a green bear, but it won’t be Ole Miss. Maybe in 25 years from now, it will be Ole Miss. Right
now, there will be Rebels and Rebels and they can take away anything they want, but they’ll never take the field as anything but the Ole Miss Rebels.”
“I don’t like it,” Vicksburg native and Rebel fan Diane Emfinger said. “As far as I’m concerned, we have no mascot. If we can’t have Col-onel Reb, we don’t need a mascot.”
According to Jon Rawl, who works with the Colonel Reb Foundation, the stickers, black bear “hunting license” lanyards and T-shirts with “I killed the black bear” letter-ing inside a silhouette of the former Mascot have been hot sellers at the Grove and at other stops on the SEC.
“We had five rolls of the ‘Mike the Tiger supports Col-onel Rebel’ in purple at the LSU game last year and they were gone in minutes,” Rawl said.
While the Ole Miss admin-istration has tried to paint the issue in public state-ments as finished, the Colo-nel Reb Foundation wants to keep up the pressure. Rawl cites the return of Chucky Mullin’s number to Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium as proof that unpopular deci-sions can be reversed.
Atlanta braves starting pitcher Tim Hudson celebrates with his teammates after hitting a game-winning two-run home run in the seventh inning against the Toronto blue Jays Monday.

college baseballMcKeon takes overas Floridamanagerat age 80
MIAMI (AP) — New Flor-ida Marlins interim manager Jack McKeon sat listening as team president David Samson offered a spirited defense of the decision to give the job to an octogenarian.
Samson said the 80-year-old McKeon works harder than many people half his age and seems even sharper mentally than in 2003, when he led the Marlins to an improbable World Series championship.
In response to the com-ments, a grinning McKeon intentionally messed up Sam-son’s name.
“Thanks, George,” McKeon said.
The new, old skipper drew some laughs at his re-intro-ductory news conference Monday, but the hiring was no joke. Nearly six years after McKeon retired as the Mar-lins’ manager, he returned to his former job on an interim basis and will lead the team for the rest of the season.
He becomes the second-old-est manager in major league history. Connie Mack man-aged the Philadelphia Athlet-ics in a suit, tie and straw hat until 1950, when he was 87.
McKeon will wear a uniform with No. 25.
“I’ve managed since I was 14 years old,” he jokingly said. “I’ll probably manage until I’m 95.”
The cigar-chomping McKeon succeeds manager Edwin Rodriguez, who resigned before Sunday’s loss at Tampa Bay. Last-place Florida took a 10-game losing streak into Monday night’s matchup at home against the Los Ange-les Angels.
Shortly before the game, when McKeon took the lineup card to home plate, he received a big ovation from the small crowd and responded by doff-ing his cap.

Romero, who allowed six hits, two runs, two walks and struck out four in seven innings, has lost three of four starts despite a 3.23 ERA. The left-hander believes the Blue Jays must stop relying too much on Bautista and Lind to drive in runs.
“Those guys are getting pitched around, so every-one’s got to step it up or else we’re not going to keep win-ning ballgames,” Romero said. “We’re going to keep losing ballgames like this. Like I said, this team doesn’t revolve around one or two guys. Everyone’s got to put in their part.”
The Braves paused the game for a few seconds to acknowledge Hudson’s 1,600th career strikeout.

Pujols was hurt trying to make a tag after taking an off-line throw from second baseman Pete Kozma and the Royals’ Wilson Betemit collided with the glove hand.
“He hit me on my wrist and my shoulder,” Pujols said afterward. “He kind of jammed me back. It’s the toughest play to make as a first baseman. It’s a bang-bang play. I saw the replay a couple of times, but I didn’t really want to look at it.”
Tarheels bounce Texas from CWSOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The
games keep getting bigger for North Carolina, and Kent Emanuel keeps getting better.
The freshman left-hander pitched the first complete-game shutout at the College World Series in five years in a 3-0 victory that eliminated Texas on Monday.
Emanuel limited the Long-horns to four singles in his third win of the NCAA tour-nament and first career shutout.
The 19-year-old Emanuel showed plenty of maturity in methodically and coolly keep-ing the Longhorns off balance with changeups and curves when they were sitting on fastballs.
“Other than his left arm, that’s his best trait, his demeanor,” Carolina coach Mike Fox said. “You don’t see a lot of emotion out of him. That’s what you want when you’re on the mound, espe-cially on this stage.”
North Carolina’s offense, which couldn’t get timely hits in an opening loss to Vander-bilt, produced enough to sup-port Emanuel.
Jacob Stallings hit a two-run single in the third inning and Ben Bunting finished a four-hit day with an RBI double in the ninth for the Tar Heels (51-15), who play Vanderbilt or Florida on Wednesday.
Texas (49-19) went two games and out for the second time in 25 CWS appearances since 1966 and for the fourth time in its record 34 trips to Omaha. The last time was in 2000.
“We didn’t come here to be the first team to leave,” Texas shortstop Brandon Loy said. “You’re never going to be sat-isfied, I don’t think, unless you come out of here with a national championship. We did some amazing things with this team. It’s tough to leave now.”
Emanuel (9-1) walked one and struck out five. North Carolina’s Robert Woodard pitched the last shutout here, blanking Clemson in 2006.
Gators lead Vandy 3-1in rain-delayed game
Heavy rain following high
winds forced the suspension of the Florida-Vanderbilt game at the College World Series on Monday night.
Florida leads 3-1 with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning. The game resumed today. Tornado sirens sounded in the area about 8 p.m., but no tornado warning was issued. Fans at TD Ameritrade Park began filing out, but play continued for a couple more pitches before umpires waved players off the field.
Fans took refuge in the sta-dium concourse until the NCAA announced the suspen-sion 21⁄2 hours after play was stopped.
Preston Tucker’s three-run
homer off Vanderbilt starter Grayson Garvin gave the Gators a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. It was Tucker’s fifth homer in eight games and 15th of the season.
Anthony Gomez’s RBI single in the fifth made it 3-1.
Garvin, the Southeastern Conference pitcher of the year, held the Gators hitless through three innings. He walked Nolan Fontana with one out in the fourth and Mike Zunino followed with an infield single before Tucker sent Garvin’s 2-1 pitch into the seats above the right-field bullpen.
Tucker, who doubled in the sixth, is batting .375 (12 of 32) over the past eight games, with six doubles and 18 RBIs to go with the five homers.

CINEMA CIVILITYSilence less golden in movies with talking, textsBy Christy LemireAP movie critic
LOS ANGELES — It seems like such a quaint notion: Folks would go to the movie theater, buy their tickets at the box office, then sit down, shut up and pay attention for two hours to what was on the screen.
Now, the piercing glow of cell phones lights up the darkness like so many pesky fireflies, and people talk to each other in a packed auditorium as if they were sitting in the privacy of their own living rooms.
The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, Texas, did something about this trend by kicking out a patron who refused to adhere to the the-ater’s rule against talking or texting, then turned the rant-ing, profane voice message she left into a hilarious public ser-vice announcement. It’s gotten over 1.75 million hits on You-Tube in just a couple of weeks.
But what happened to our attention spans? Why must we talk, text and tweet in the middle of a movie? And what — if anything — can theaters do to stop this erosion of cinema civility?
Matt Atchity, editor-in-chief of the Rotten Tomatoes film review website, crafted “10 Commandments for Movie Audiences” including “Thou shalt not text.” But the ubiq-uity of cell phones makes these sensible suggestions hard to enforce.
“Even 10 years ago, not every-one had a phone, not every-one was text messaging. The younger generation grew up and the kids who were texting in class are now the kids who are texting in movies,” Atchity said.
He added that Hollywood’s
focus on the 18-24 demographic is also a factor. “A big opening release is like going to Chuck E. Cheese,” Atchity said.
While adults might believe what’s on screen deserves their full attention, kids nowadays view the movie-going experi-ence as interactive, said Bill Goodykoontz, film critic for The Arizona Republic and father of four.
“They can’t imagine seeing anything, including a movie, without immediately supplying their reactions,” said Goody-koontz, who’s also chief film critic for Gannett.
Producer Barry Mendel (“Bridesmaids”) believes the reliance on social media and 24-7 information has bled into every part of our lives — even places that are meant to pro-vide an escape.
“It’s very rare in our society to sit and stare at something intensely and without distrac-tion for two hours. People just don’t have that muscle any-more,” said Mendel, a two-time Oscar nominee for best picture for “The Sixth Sense” and “Munich.”
“It makes me worry for my profession, for making movies,” he continued. “In order for a movie to be good, someone needs to sit down and read a screenplay and help the writer make it better. Instead they start reading a script, then they stop reading it and pick it up later.”
Rachael Harris (“The Hang-over,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”) said a guy recently walked in late to a private screening of the new independent film she stars in, “Natural Selection,” sat
down next to her and immedi-ately checked his BlackBerry.
“As an actor, you do have a sense of: ‘How dare I not be riv-eting enough that you have to check your e-mail?’ You react personally but then you real-ize it’s not personal. It’s just bad manners,” she said.
But many of the young people who engage in these prac-tices don’t think it’s a prob-lem because everyone does it. Thirteen-year-old Will Barnes of Frisco, Texas, says he texts sometimes during movies, but tries to be courteous.
“I didn’t really like ‘Thor,’ so I just pulled out my phone and texted a little bit. It was during the day so nobody was really in the theater at the time,” Barnes said. “I’m just looking at the screen, I’m not paying attention to what other people are doing. But you see adults doing it and I think it’s a little immature for their age to be texting during a movie.”
Fourteen-year-old Andrea Lopez of Newhall, Calif., says she leaves her phone on during movies but keeps it on silent: “Normally I’ll just text during the end of the movie to have my mom or dad come pick me up.”
But when others are blatantly using their phones, Lopez said, “that’s ridiculous. Then they’re just ruining the movie for every-one else. The least they can do is go outside and talk.”
Theater owners have tried a variety of methods to get folks to keep quiet and stay off their phones, from showing amusing messages beforehand to having ushers sweep through the audi-torium during the show, said John Fithian, president of the National Association of The-atre Owners.

‘Jackass’ star Ryan Dunn dies in fiery Pa. crashPHILADELPHIA (AP) —
“Jackass” star Ryan Dunn, who along with his cast mates made Americans cringe and snicker through vulgar stunts in their multimillion-dollar TV and movie franchise, was killed early Monday in a fiery car crash. He was 34.
Dunn, a daredevil who gained notoriety for diving into a sewage tank and performing other unsavory stunts, was driving his 2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia when it careened off the road, flipped over a guardrail and crashed into the woods before bursting into flames. A passenger, Zach-ary Hartwell, 30, of West Ches-ter, Pa., was also killed, and speed may have been a factor in the crash, West Goshen Town-ship police said.
The force of impact shattered the vehicle into several twisted and blackened pieces, leaving the Porsche 911 GT3 unrecog-nizable except for a door that was thrown from the crash and not incinerated. A 100-foot-long tire skid marked where the car left the roadway.
Both Dunn and Hartwell were severely burned. Police said they were able to identify Dunn through his tattoos and hair.
Dunn appeared on MTV shows “Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” and the three “Jackass” big-screen adaptations. He also was the star of his own MTV show, “Homewrecker,” and just began hosting the show “Prov-ing Ground” on the G4 cable network.
G4 spokesman Dave Welch said “Proving Ground,” which premiered June 11 with the
second epi-sode slated to air Tuesday, was being pulled for now until the network can discuss the show’s future. Dunn also
starred in the yet-to-be-released film “Living Will.” The film’s web-site describes Dunn’s charac-ter as a “party bum slacker (who) returns from the dead as a mischievous and perverted ghost.”
Movie critic Roger Ebert tweeted about Dunn’s death Monday and was criticized by Dunn’s “Jackass” co-star Bam Margera and blogger Perez Hilton.
Ebert wrote: “’Jackass”’ star Ryan Dunn, RIP. His Porsche flew through 40 yards of trees.” He later tweeted, “Friends don’t let jackasses drink and drive,”
referring to a photograph Dunn posted on Twitter early Monday showing himself drinking with
friends just hours before the 3 a.m. crash. The photo has since been removed.

Wife should have say in who sleeps with whomDear Abby: I couldn’t believe
your response to “Stumped and Trumped in Ohio” (May 12). You made a point of saying to the father that his daughter and her boyfriend are in HIS house and they should abide by HIS rules and sleep in sep-arate bedrooms. It’s his wife’s house, too, and she thought it was fine for them to share a room. Since when should the man’s opinion automatically trump the woman’s?
Furthermore, what about hypocrisy? He admitted that he and his wife were indulging in “premarital mambo,” as he so quaintly puts it. In this day and age, you can assume his daughter and the boyfriend are as well, especially since they wanted to stay in the same room. So it was OK for him, but it’s offensive when they do it?
Nonetheless, it is the par-ents’ house. If they had mutu-ally agreed that the young-sters should sleep in separate rooms, so be it. This is some-thing the husband and wife should have worked out together before “Julie”
brought her boyfriend home for a visit. But in saying it’s the man’s house and every-one should abide by the man’s rules, you insulted women everywhere. — Burned Up in Springfield, N.J.
Dear Burned Up: You’re right. I was clumsy. While I agree with you that the writer and his wife should have reached a mutual agreement before the daughter and her boyfriend arrived, they didn’t. Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I don’t think an unmar-ried houseguest has a “right” to share a bedroom if EITHER parent is uncomfortable with it. And while the father may know his daughter is having sex, theoretically, I’m sure he isn’t the only parent who would prefer it was “out of sight, out of mind.” Readers
were divided about this: Dear Abby: When my hus-
band and I were dating, and even after he moved in with me before we married, whenever we visited his parents’ home, I always slept in the guest room. Why? Out of respect for his parents’ wishes. It was never something that was asked of me. I did it out of respect for someone else’s home.
This man’s wife caved under false pressure. The daughter will visit just as often. Sleep-ing arrangements rarely stop someone from visiting. If the new boyfriend stops accom-panying her, then everyone should realize he’s not worth his salt. Respectful adults don’t just “happen”; they are raised that way. — Rebecca in St. Paul
Dear Abby: Today’s letter had my blood boiling. I wholeheartedly agree that rules of a household should be respected. However, the father’s objection to his daugh-ter and her boyfriend sleeping in the same room isn’t about respecting his “wishes.” He’s upset because he’s trying to
control his daughter, and he isn’t willing to accept that she’s grown up and deserves the same freedom he and his wife had. I’m surprised you encouraged him, given that he made it clear he had no prob-lem with premarital sex. He’s a blatant hypocrite. — Caitlin in L.A.
Dear Abby: I think guests, including children and grand-children, who live together in today’s world should be allowed to share a room. Times have changed. Prudish-ness is out of date. — Realistic Contemporary Grandma
Dear Abby: Before my hus-band and I married, we visited my straitlaced aunt. Neither of us expected to sleep together there. If you don’t want some-one’s morals imposed on you, what gives you the right to impose your looser morals on them? — Diane in South Carolina

10 drugs simply too manyfor woman, 79, to be taking
Dear Dr. Gott: My 79-year-old mother is taking gabapen-tin, Lortab, a muscle relaxer, Paxil, Klonopin, metformin, Synthroid, Lasix, Singulair and Celebrex. She has bone-on-bone in her knees, diabe-tes and COPD. She weighs 220 pounds and is 5 feet 2 inches tall. Her general health is poor.
I’m afraid she is going to fall with all this medication because she is groggy all the time now. Do you think some of these medications are duplicates?
Dear Reader: Initially, I would like to know if one phy-sician ordered all 10 medica-tions or if she is seeing one or more specialists in addition to her primary care physician. If she has only one provider, he or she is obviously aware of the list of drugs, but if sev-eral doctors are involved, they might not all be up to speed.
Gabapentin is an anticonvul-sant sometimes used to treat nerve pain associated with shingles or postherpetic neu-ralgia. Its side effects include back pain, dizziness, drowsi-ness, nausea and weight gain.
Lortab, a combination of acet-aminophen and hydrocodone, is a narcotic pain reliever. Its side effects include drowsi-ness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting and blurred vision.
Paxil is an antidepressant used to treat anxiety, obses-sive-compulsive disorder and stress. Side effects include drowsiness, gas, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia and stom-ach upset.
Klonopin is a benzodiaz-epine that can be prescribed for seizures and panic disor-ders, among other things. Side effects include lightheaded-ness, fatigue, dizziness, head-ache and loss of coordination.
Metformin was prescribed to treat her diabetes. The side effects can include min-imal weight gain, stomach upset, diarrhea, headache and nausea.
The Synthroid is a hormone replacement for hypothy-roidism to help regulate the body’s energy and metabo-lism. Severe allergic reactions include chest pain, excessive sweating, irregular heart-beats, joint pain and shortness of breath.
Lasix fights fluid retention in individuals with COPD. Its side effects can include light-headedness and dizziness.
Singulair treats asthma and has side effects of cough, diz-ziness, insomnia, abdominal upset or pain, and headache.
And, at long last, Celebrex is a nonsteroidal anti-inflam-matory used to treat pain and inflammation in such condi-tions as arthritis. The side effects for this drug include headache, dizziness, heart-burn and nausea.
My recommendation is that you or another family member
accompany her to her doctor(s) and request a review of every-thing she is taking.
I will stick my neck out here and agree that her grogginess is directly related to the drugs she is on and the list can be trimmed, but only under the direction of her doctor(s).

If tomorrow is your birthday: Because you’ll have more occa-sions in the next year to assume direct control over issues and/or opportunities, you’ll get a number of chances to make much from little. It’ll be up to you to take advantage of your possibili-ties.Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There could be justification for your optimism. Conditions look exceptionally favorable for you, especially concerning something that is near and dear to your heart.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ve been looking to do something nice for someone who recently treated you with special consid-eration, and you might get that chance. Don’t let this opportu-nity pass you by.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — There should be no hesitation to partner up with someone whose ideals and standards close-ly parallel yours. Instead of going it alone, team up with him or her. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you sense that you’re in a good achievement cycle right now, don’t put any limitations on your imagination, especially where your goals and objectives are concerned. Anything is possible.Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Although you might do very well for yourself in ventures or developments that contain elements of chance, don’t get reckless and carry things too far. You’ve got to discern in order to earn.Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’re likely to do much bet-ter in a joint effort than you would going it alone. If you have a chance to team up with someone, don’t ignore the added strength in numbers.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You should study and profit from the wisdom and experiences of others whenever you can. It pays to be both a good listener and a keen observer when the chance avails itself.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Regardless of what you think, your past efforts will not go unnoticed, unappreciated or unre-warded. Keep the faith, because what is due is on its way.Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — That new admirer of yours out there may be someone you’ve never had the opportunity to get to know, but all this could change. Be receptive to an extended overture of friendship.Aries (March 21-April 19) — Regardless of how you get there or what you have to go through in order to achieve what you want, remember it’s the bottom line that counts. Keep your goals in sight at all times.Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You’re likely to discover that you could have a chance to be the happy recipient of something good. Keep on doing what is expected of you, and it’ll come about.Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Follow through on any intuitive, persistent perception you get concerning a matter of a financial nature. It could put you on a winning track that you wouldn’t otherwise take.
Dr. Wallace: I’m one of those skinny kids who needs to gain weight. My problem is that most healthy foods are low in calo-ries, so I usually eat a lot of junk food (potato chips, cookies, cakes and ice cream).
I have been gaining a little weight, but I’m concerned about all the sugar, fat and salt that I’m eating. Any suggestions? — Nata-lie, Willmar, Minn.
Natalie: Nutritionists at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., suggest snacking between meals on nonfat yogurt, unsalt-ed nuts or dried fruit. For liquids, they suggest frozen yogurt shakes or fresh fruit juice.
Dr. Wallace: We have been notified by the principal that start-ing next September, students will have to pay $10 per year to rent a stupid old locker. I think that’s a big crock. Why should I have to pay for a locker to keep books in? If they don’t want books stolen, they should give us our lockers for free. My dad also agrees that we students are getting ripped off. He says it’s the same as being taxed.
What do you think about this? I hear that you were a principal at a high school. — Jeremy, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Jeremy: Funds for public education are scarce throughout the country, and many school districts are looking for creative ways to increase revenues. If charging a locker rental fee would result in saving a reading program, a sports program, a music pro-gram or a drama program, I’m all for it.
