AMELIA — Work to finish cleaning up theformer Marine Shale Processors site just out-side of Amelia, which began in February, isongoing with June 26 as the projected com-pletion date of the cleanup, according to theMarch monthly progress report fromEnvironmental Resources Management.
Contractors were hired by the LouisianaDepartment of Environmental Quality toclean out the hazardous waste materials andother material on the site, including in theprimary kiln, tank farm, the oxidizer and thebarge areas by Bayou Boeuf, said VickiHadwin of the department’s RemediationServices Division.
Environmental Resources ManagementGroup is the environmental consultant forthe cleanup.
The contractors are working on stabilizingthe waste in the barge tanks now, Hadwinstated in an email.
“This will allow the material to be trans-ported and disposed. It is too wet in its cur-rent condition,” Hadwin stated. Workers alsoset up a crane Tuesday to start taking downthe hopper tanks, which have been emptied.
“We will begin working on the oxidizers,the big red u-shaped structure, in aboutthree weeks,” Hadwin stated.
The original completion date for thecleanup work was in early June, but the con-tractors involved in the cleanup had somedelays that pushed back that completiondate.
“They had a couple things come up thatadded to the schedule. They were havingsome trouble emptying out some of thetanks, stuff was really hardened in there …so it took longer,” Hadwin said.
Brandenburg Industrial Service Companyis the demolition contractor and CleanHarbors Company is doing the waste trans-portation and disposal.
In 1985, Marine Shale Processors beganincinerating hazardous wastes, reducingthem to ash, according to the cooperativeagreement between the department andMarine Shale Processors. Marine ShaleProcessors ceased operating the site in 1996but left behind storage tanks and bins con-taining incinerated waste residues anduntreated wastes, onsite stockpiles of incin-erated wastes and untreated waste, and fillmaterial composed of incinerated wastematerial, according to the cooperative agree-ment.
The Department of Environmental Qualityannounced at the end of January thatcleanup work would resume in Februaryafter the initial cleanup phase was complet-ed in 2008. That initial phase was to cleanup some tanks on the site that were leaking,Hadwin said.
In March, work accomplished includedbeginning demolition of the tanks and ves-sels in the tank farm area. Work also beganto demolish the north side of the primarykiln at the site, according to monthlyprogress report for the project from

BATON ROUGE — The U.S.Army Corps of Engineers’ deci-sion to temporarily increase thewater flow by at least 3 percentfrom the Mississippi River intothe Atchafalaya Basin will haveminimal, if any, impact in theMorgan City area, said Port ofMorgan City Executive Direc-tor Jerry Hoffpauir.
The U.S. Army Corps of En-gineers approved a request byGov. Bobby Jindal to temporari-ly increase water flow throughthe Old River Control Structureinto the Atchafalaya Basinfrom 30 percent to at least 33percent to offset an anticipateddrop in Basin water levels thatcould create significant adverseecologic impacts to the area andeconomic impacts to the state,according to a news releasefrom Jindal’s office.
Most of the sediment carried
to Morgan City comes from theRed River and not the Missis-sippi River, Hoffpauir said.However, when the governor’soffice and corps checked withthe Port of Morgan City beforedeciding to increase the waterflow, Hoffpauir said, “My bigconcern to them was we haveenough trouble getting fundingnow to handle the sediment wehave, how are we going to han-dle more sediment?”
Jindal requested that thepercentage of total MississippiRiver flow into the AtchafalayaBasin through the corps-oper-ated Old River Control Struc-ture, normally 30 percent of thetotal Mississippi River flow, beincreased from 30 percent to atleast 33 percent to help sustainthe Atchafalaya Basin, in accor-dance with the operating rulesthat allow temporary devia-tions from the standard 70-30

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff ’sOffice is asking for the public’sassistance as it investigatesseveral air conditioning coilthefts that span across theparish, according to a news re-lease from Sheriff MarkHebert.
The sheriff ’s office received areport from Franklin Police De-partment regarding air condi-tioning coil packs that werestolen from a Franklin businessin February. In late March,complaints of stolen coil packsfrom buildings in the Ameliaand Bayou Vista areas alsowere received.
Traci Landry, sheriff ’s officespokeswoman, said the most re-cent theft complaint was re-ceived April 10.
Detectives have leads andare making headway, but are inneed of the public’s assistancein solving the crimes, he said.
“We have the dots but weneed the public’s help in con-necting them,” Landry said.
Franklin Police Chief SabriaMcGuire said a number ofabandoned or empty buildingsin Franklin along with someresidences have reported simi-lar thefts beginning in late Jan-uary and extending into March.She added that for the mostpart the thefts have stopped inrecent weeks in Franklin.
Based on the circumstancesand details collected during ajoint investigation withFranklin police, detectives be-lieve the thefts are related.
The thefts across the parishhave all occurred at buildingsthat appear to be unmanagedor abandoned, the report stat-ed. Detectives believe there areadditional victims. Commercialand storage building and prop-erty owners are advised tocheck their sites for any signsof theft.
Copper can be sold for $2.65to $2.75 per pound and alu-minum varies from 35 cents to55 cents per pound, accordingto Jason Rogers of StuddardScrap Metals in Patterson. Hesaid that while the price has re-mained stable at that level forthe past several months, copperhas sold for as much as $3.50per pound.

LaPolitics.comBATON ROUGE — With Gov. Bob-
by Jindal’s tax repeal package andthose like it apparently immobile andparked for the session, lawmakers areslowly turning their attention towhere they say it has always been: onthe budget.
The $24.7 billion budget proposedby the Jindal administration hasmany more challenges aside from the$1.3 billion revenue shortfall, many ofwhich lawmakers contend were ob-scured in the political mists of the gov-ernor’s failed tax-swap proposal.
Rep. Herbert B. Dixon, D-Alexan-dria, called it “troubling” because thisyear’s session may very well be re-membered for the budget it produces,
not the tax plans it studied but did notpass.
“This is the time where John Q.Public needs to get very involved,”said Dixon. “They need to come to the
Capitol, use the phone, send an email,mail a letter, find a homing pigeon —whatever it takes. Things are about toget really moving here and people aregoing to be caught by surprise.”
During its first official week on thejob, the Appropriations Committeeheard wrenching public testimonyfrom parents of autistic children, vic-tims of domestic violence, food bankoperators and senior citizens who saidanother year of budget cuts will maketheir lives worse.
Not long after, members of the JointBudget Committee glimpsed a previewof the hospital transformations comingto their districts when they signed offon the first public-private hospitalpartnership, which preceded the clo-sure of Earl K. Long Hospital in BatonRouge.
Sen. Sharon Broome, D-BatonRouge, heatedly protested the transferof services to Our Lady of the LakeHospital, which has not announcedprovisions for women’s services andprisoner care.
“This whole process has been a be-trayal of public trust,” she said.
Jindal’s budget relies heavily oncontingencies such as refinancingdebt, legal settlements, land sales,transferring dedicated funds andhealth care privatization contracts. Soif certain lands are not sold or if otherdeals turn south, Jindal’s budget couldquickly fall out of balance.
For example, the Willis-KnightonHealth System recently announced itwas pulling out of negotiations at themedical center in Shreveport, thebiggest of the public hospitals Jindal is
attempting to privatize.Medical centers in Houma and
Lafayette are on the proverbial chop-ping block as well, with agreementspending.
Conservatives in the House, likemembers of the Budget Reform Coali-tion, argue that the budget contingen-cies amount to one-time revenue,which the Constitution states cannotbe used for recurring budget costs.
Reps. Kirk Talbot, R-River Ridge,and Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, fileda lawsuit last year and recentlyamended it to seek a review onwhether Jindal’s proposed budget isunconstitutional on multiple grounds,including non-recurring and contin-gency funds.

Parish’s 5 fatalcrashes is topsin Troop I
http://www.stmarynow.comVolume 51, Number 76 Serving St. Mary Parish Since 1872 Wednesday, April 17, 2013
By PRESTON [email protected]
The Monday afternoon crashthat claimed the life of a Pat-terson man was the fifth fatali-ty in St. Mary Parish this year,according to Tfc. Stephen Ham-mons, Louisiana State PoliceTroop I spokesman.
The parish has the highestnumber of fatalities this year ofany parish in the eight-parishregion covered by Troop I.
Troop I troopers have investi-gated 21 fatal crashes with 25fatalities this year. St. LandryParish was next in the numberof fatalities with four.
Two-thirds of the crashesthat have completed toxicologyresults have involved some sortof impairment, according toHammons. Six of the crasheshave not yet had their resultscompleted.
Hammons said there are afew simple things drivers cando to save lives and reduce thenumber of serious injuries.
Speaking for his fellow offi-
cers, Hammons said the hard-est thing a trooper can do isgive notification that someone’sloved one is not returninghome.
“This is somebody’s motheror brother. We don’t want it tobe yours,” Hammons said
State police encourage alldrivers to designate a driver ifthey will be drinking, reducedriver distractions and put on aseatbelt.
“The biggest thing safety-wise that anyone can do to pro-tect themselves is (to wear)seatbelts,” he said “The failureto wear seatbelts is “concerningto us because it is so easy to do.It is the simplest thing you cando.”
He pointed out a soberingstatistic to support his asser-tion that seatbelts save lives.Of the 25 fatalities investigatedthis year by Troop I, only threepeople died that were properlyrestrained.

Looking for some help in thegarden? Many of nature’s mostuseful critters lie literally atour feet, underappreciated andignored despite their ability toeliminate insects, conditionsoils and pollinate plants.
Turtles, moths, moles, drag-onflies, snakes, toads and spi-ders are among the many wildthings that can help maintain alandscape. The payback is min-imal — food, water, shelter, andeasing off on harsh lawn andgarden chemicals.
“I believe in teamwork, usingall the creatures that live inyour garden,” said SharonLovejoy, author of “Trowel andError” (Workman Publishing,2003). “Start from the groundup with night crawlers as partof your workforce.”
Add to the earthworms al-ready in your plant beds withcommercially available redworms.
“Build a worm bin or a placewhere they can’t get out,” Love-joy said. “Use all of your left-overs — your kitchen compost.Worms can process up to 6
pounds of garbage in a week.“Grow an assortment of na-
tive plants, which will draw agreat many bird species. Addplant hosts as food for butterflyand moth larvae.”
That list would include milk-weed (monarch butterflies),borage (green lacewings), sun-flowers (ladybugs) and yarrow(hoverflies). Many insects inthe larval stage are voraciouspredators. Green lacewings asjuveniles are aptly named“aphid lions” because of theirappetite for the sap-suckingpests.
“I would certainly place spi-ders near the top of underap-preciated life in the garden,”said Whitney Cranshaw, an ex-tension entomologist with Col-orado State University. “Al-though sometimes I think it isless that they are not appreciat-ed but rather people don’t wantto think of them.”
Spiders are credited for asmuch as 80 percent of all preda-tor control in the garden.Jumping spiders, wolf spiders,lynx spiders and crab spiders
are the standouts, Cranshawsaid.
Also great garden helpersare:
—Toads. “Harmful insectsmake up 62 percent of a toad’sdaily food supply,” said Lovejoy,who stacks rocks and wood insecluded spots to shelter toads,frogs, turtles, salamanders andlizards.
—Dragonflies that can cap-ture more than 400 mosquitoesa day.
—Moles. “They eat theirbody weight in insects, slugsand grubs while aerating thesoil,” Lovejoy said.
—Sphinx wasps that can pol-linate 200 flowers in less thanseven minutes, Lovejoy said.
—Snakes. “Most snakes —about 99 percent of thosefound in gardens — are harm-less helpers, and eat rodentsand insect pests,” Lovejoysaid. Garter and gophersnakes top her “beneficial”list.
—Box turtles that feast onslugs, snails, insects, larvae

I was chopping vegetablesfor dinner recently when my14-year-old daughter, Grace,disappeared with the unus-able end of the bok choy. Shereturned five minutes laterwith paper, a stamping inkpad and the pilfered veg-etable.
“Look, Mom,” she said, andheld up a stunner: The bokchoy head, refuse to me, hadstamped a beautiful bloomingrose onto the paper.
I discovered what somecrafters have long known — thebeauties of stamping with food.Part of the pleasure derivesfrom the experimentation, andpart from the element of sur-prise when an ordinary veg-etable imparts a beautiful im-age.
Kristen Sutcliffe of Oberlin,Ohio, came to love stampingwhile teaching preschool inJapan, where it’s popular, shesays.
Her favorite food tool?Okra.
“It’s so pretty,” Sutcliffesays. “It looks like a littleflower.”
Heads of bok choy and cel-ery stamp pretty roses. Pulloff a stalk of either to stampU shapes. Peppers, sliced inhalf and deseeded, stampwavy rounds for making flow-ers.
Garlic is the favored stamp ofSarah Raven, program directorfor a group with the acronymGARLIC (Green Art RecreatingLife in Communities) that en-courages low-income residentsof New Haven, Conn., to makeart from recycled items. Garlic,too, can create a delicate flowerimage.
The discovery was part of thethrill, Raven says.
“I tried to ink the entire gar-lic and that didn’t work,” shesays. Then she pulled a singleclove out of the bulb and real-ized it looked like a finger and aflower petal.
“The individual clove be-comes a stamping surface forindividual flower petals,”Raven says.
She also has tried carved po-tatoes and star fruit cut in half.The latter is a little unwieldyand stinky, she says.
Terri Ouellette of Phoenixhas a tip for that: Cut and air-dry citrus and other wateryfruits and vegetables, some-times overnight, before workingwith them, she says. Be watch-ful because they dry out quick-ly.
“Anything with a very highwater content does not workvery well,” says Ouellette,who posts crafts videos toYouTube and her own web-site, Super Simple with TerriO.
What works, she says: ap-
ples, oranges and pears. Whatdoesn’t: grapes, broccoli and let-tuce.
Besides celery, Ouellettelikes using mushrooms, cauli-flower and potatoes.
Potatoes “can be cut up in-to anything and turned into agreat stamp,” she says. “Youjust have to carve in re-verse.”
Marcie McGoldrick, editorialdirector of holiday and craftsfor Martha Stewart Living, hasstamped with apple halves, car-rots (the ends make polka dots)and radicchio.
Radicchio? The cut end of ahead of radicchio, like celeryand bok choy, makes a versionof a rose print.
Martha Stewart Livingonline also recommends try-ing Brussels sprouts cut inhalf.
The whole venture is trialand error, says McGoldrick.
“It’s really just looking at dif-ferent things when you’re cook-ing,” she says, and then havinga printing day.
As with other stamping, usea stamp pad or acrylic paint forstamping on paper. Use fabric-specific acrylic paint for print-ing on textiles.
Sutcliffe recommends soak-ing a sponge with tempera(poster) paint or pouring athin layer of the paint on aplate and using either as anink pad.
Once your prints are dry,add embellishments, such asstems or leaves, with coloredmarkers or fabric markers,says Ouellette. She hasstamped aprons, placematsand tote bags with food. Mc-Goldrick has stamped notecards and gift wrap.
Sutcliffe, whose book forkids, “Fabric, Paper,Thread,” will be published inJune by C&T Publishing,prints mostly on paper gifttags and note cards, andsmall swatches of fabric.Sometimes her 6-year-olddaughter joins her.
While it’s a great project forkids, food stamping also canprovide attractive artwork forthe home.
McGoldrick recommendsstamping several images of thesame vegetables but in comple-mentary colors, then framingthe series.
She also recommends thisfor gardeners who want todocument their harvest artis-tically.
“It’d be beautiful to pull acarrot up and cut it in half andprint with that,” McGoldricksays. “It’s a way of documentingwhat you did.”

DEAR ABBY: My wife and Ihave been married 17 years.For the most part, our marriagehas been great, and I love hervery much. Lately, though, Ihave felt that our sexual andemotional intimacy has beenlacking. I spoke to her about itrecently and tried to explainhow I feel. She has responded,and things are improving.
Still, she spends most of hertime on her cellphone checkingemail, Facebook, Pinterest andwatching Netflix. At bedtime,she stays on her phone or lap-top until after I have gone tobed. When she comes to bed,she ignores me and goesstraight to sleep, even if I havebeen lying there awake in the
dark waiting for her.Has she fallen in love with
her cellphone? Even if we don’thave sex all the time, I wouldjust like to be able to talk to heror hold her for a minute beforewe go to sleep.
Any suggestions other thanthrowing her phone out thewindow?
ABANDONED HUSBANDIN UTAH
DEAR ABANDONED: Yousay your wife has respond-ed and things are hopeful.That means she is at leastreceptive to working onyour marital relationship.
The problems that cell-phones cause in relation-ships is something I amhearing about with increas-ing frequency. People havebecome so dependent upontheir digital companionsthat in some cases it’s im-possible to turn them off be-cause people have becomeliterally addicted.
In cases like this, a li-censed therapist should beconsulted. Of course, likeany addiction the sufferermust be willing to admitthere is a problem and wantto do something about it. Iwish there was a 12-stepprogram to which I couldrefer you, but I was unableto locate one. In the futureI’m willing to bet that they’llsprout up like mushrooms.
DEAR ABBY: Six monthsago, I realized I had a drinkingproblem and decided to gothrough a chemical dependenceprogram as an outpatient. I’msober now and attend meetingsa few times a week. My prob-lem is someone I was barely ac-quainted with was also in thesame program. I didn’t regard
it as a problem at first, but nowI’m concerned.
At a meeting a few monthsago, I mentioned to the groupthat I also attend a meeting inanother town closer to myhome. Next thing I know, thisman is attending the samemeeting. He always makes apoint of telling me about what’sgoing on with the people wewent through treatment with.
I am active in service workand plan to attend a regionalmeeting at a resort over aweekend. Guess who has sud-denly decided to do the same?
I’m nervous about beingaround this man. I don’t wantto compromise his sobriety, butI can’t stand seeing him atevery meeting and event I at-tend. My husband is also both-ered by it, and I’m consideringnot attending any meetings atall because he’s creeping meout. How should I handle this?
SOBER ANDCREEPED OUT
DEAR CREEPED OUT: If
there is a group moderatoror contact, discuss this withthat person. Because youwant less contact with your“admirer,” look around foranother group. Even if youwill have to travel a bit far-ther, it will be worth the ef-fort.
If you do happen to runinto him in the future andhe tries to engage you inconversation about otherpatients from your pro-gram, cut the conversationshort by telling him you arenot interested in hearingabout them. One of the hall-marks of 12-step programsis anonymity — and itshould be respected.

My trick to throwing a greatparty — and I love throwing agreat party — is to keep mystress level as low as possible.Because an at-ease host makesfor at-ease guests.
For me, keeping party stressto a minimum means preppingas much food as possible in ad-vance. That way when peopleare arriving, all I need to do isheat, plate and eat. This also letsyou focus more energy on howthe food is presented, which —especially for a party — can benearly as important as taste.
One of my favorite partytricks is to use cedar woodplanks for both cooking andserving. I love the look of theruff hewn wood plank piledwith food. And if the edges are alittle charred, so much the bet-ter! One of my tried and trueparty appetizers that workswith this technique is a grilledglazed brie with fresh fruit.
This recipe is a streamlinedversion of the baked brie I usedto make. Back in the day, Iwould cut open the wheel ofcheese, stuff it with fruit andnuts, then close it back up andbake it. But I like this glazedversion better. It’s simpler toprepare and looks more appe-tizing with all the delicious hot“filling” toppling over the side. Iserve it with assorted fruit andwater crackers, but baguette oryour favorite crackers would bejust as good.
I make the fruit and nut mix-ture in advance and keep it in ajar in my refrigerator so I canthrow it together when friendsdrop by unexpectedly, or justwhen I am feeling like a treat.
It works best on a small 8-ounce wheel of brie because therind will contain the oozingcheese as it heats up.
You can use a slice of brie in-stead, but make sure that youdon’t heat it too long or all ofthe cheese in the center willmelt and puddle out. You wantthe cheese and toppings to bejust warmed.
The cedar plank adds a kissof flavor, makes it easy to bakein the oven or pop onto the grill,and becomes your serving plat-ter as well. I also use theseplanks as serving trays for lotsof my little dishes. In fact, weuse them in my restaurant astrays for passed hors d’oeuvreswhen we host special events.
One of my favorite uses is forchili con queso and chips. I heatthe spicy cheese dip, pour it in-to a hollowed-out red pepperand serve it with chips on awooden plank. Even a simplecheese platter is dressed up bythe rustic slab of wood andmakes an impromptu wine andcheese party feel more special.CEDAR-PLANKED PECAN,
BOURBON AND BROWNSUGAR GLAZED BRIEStart to finish: 30 minutes
(plus soaking time for the cedarplank)
Cedar grilling plank (about 6-by-8 inches)½ cup packed dark brown sugar¼ cup chopped pecans2 Tbsp. dried cherries and/orchopped dried apricots1 Tbsp. bourbon8-ounce round brie1 Tbsp. no-sugar raspberry jam1 Granny Smith apple, coredand thinly sliced1 pear, cored and thinly sliced2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Small bunch of grapesWater crackers, to serve
Soak the cedar plank in wa-ter for at least 30 minutes. Ifnecessary, weigh it down tokeep it submerged.
Meanwhile, in a small bowlstir together brown sugar,pecans, dried cherries andbourbon. This step can be doneup to a week ahead. If so, coverand refrigerate until needed.
Heat the grill to indirectmedium heat. The cheese alsocan be prepared in the oven.For the latter, heat it to 400 F.
Place brie on the wet cedarplank. Spread jam over the topof the cheese. Spoon the fruitand nut mixture over the jam.You may not need all of the nutmixture.
Place the plank with the brieeither on the grill grates or on acookie sheet in the oven. Eitherway, cook for 10 minutes, or un-til the brie is slightly softenedand the sugar melts.
Meanwhile, in a mediumbowl, toss the apple and pearslices with lemon juice. Arrangeslices and grapes around theside of the brie. Serve on theplank with a cheese knife.
You shouldn’t have any trou-ble finding food grade cedarplanks. Most grocers sell themnear the seafood and meats. Ifyou buy them from a hardwarestore, be certain that they areuntreated.

—Bats. These nocturnal aeri-alists pollinate flowers, spreadseeds and devour upwards of600 mosquitoes an hour.
Most predatory insectsaren’t selective, though, feed-ing on anything that comes
within reach. “Praying man-tises are generalists,” saidJames Dill, a pest manage-ment specialist with Universi-ty of Maine Extension. “So aremany spiders. They’re very ef-ficient but don’t discriminatein what they eat. They’d justas soon grab a honeybee if ithappens by.”
Maintain a healthy gardenwith ample spacing if you hopeto attract beneficial insects,Dill said.
“Spacing allows you to ob-serve things better if you’rewalking around, looking fortrouble,” he said. “It also re-duces the odds for (plant) dis-ease.”

CHICAGO — The distressingnonstop crying in babies withcolic is often blamed on tummytrouble, but a new study says theproblem could be linked with mi-graine headaches in at leastsome infants.
Children and teens treatedfor migraine headaches at threehospitals in Italy and Francewere much more likely thanother kids to have had colic ininfancy. The link has been sug-gested in other research, and ifit can be proven, it could offernew hope for treating colic, theresearchers said.
“Infantile colic causes pain inbabies and high levels of stressin parents. Preventive thera-pies for migraine could there-fore be an option in the future,”said study co-author Dr. LuigiTitomanlio, chief of a pediatricmigraine clinic at Robert DebreHospital in Paris.
More research is needed toprove any link between colicand migraines, and Titomanliosaid studies would need to bedone before anyone would rec-ommend using migraine treat-ments for babies’ colic.
The study appears in today’sJournal of the American Med-ical Association.
Among about 200 childrenand teens who got emergencytreatment for migraines in thestudy, 73 percent had colic as
infants, versus 27 percent ofchildren in a control group.That group — 471 kids — gotemergency treatment for minortrauma and had no history ofrecurrent headaches.
An editorial in JAMA calls itimportant research and says ifcolic really is an early form ofmigraines that might explainwhy digestive treatments typi-cally don’t help colic.
Definitive causes are uncer-tain for both colic and mi-graines.
Roughly 20 percent of U.S.infants have colic — intensecrying spells lasting more thanthree hours a day, at least threedays a week, for more thanthree weeks in an otherwisehealthy baby. It usually starts afew weeks after birth. Thesymptoms are sometimesblamed on digestive problemsincluding gas but experts saythe true cause is unknown.
Migraine headaches are rarein very young children but bymiddle-school and teen years asmany as 10 percent or more ex-perience them.
The throbbing headaches arethought to be inherited andmay be caused by some sort ofirritation in nerve cells in thebrain interacting with brainblood vessels.
The researchers said it couldbe that colic is caused by simi-lar changes in nerves and bloodvessels in the gut.
The study supports the ideathat colic “may be an early lifemanifestation of migraine,”said Dr. Amy Gelfand, a neurol-ogist at the University of Cali-fornia, San Francisco’sHeadache Center. Her own re-search, published last year,found that infants whose moth-ers had migraines were morethan twice as likely as other ba-bies to have colic.
She noted that Tylenol issometimes used to treat mi-graines in children, and pain ininfants, but said whether itworks for colic should be studied.
Janelle Valore of Mount Joy,Pa., said she was intrigued bythe results. Her mother, sisterand cousins all have migrainesand were colicky as babies. Val-ore was spared both, but her 5-month-old daughter, Alena, justgot over a nearly three-monthbout with colic, and now shewonders if the baby will devel-op migraines later on.
“I always thought it wasgas,” but treatments designedto relieve gas and tummy up-sets didn’t work for her baby,Valore said.
She said her daughter wouldcry day and night “and I’d cryright along with her.”

Purcell’s Perceptions
The Higher Our Tech, the Ruder We GetBY TOM PURCELL
Get this: Social media are makingus ruder.
According to Reuters, social mediausers face “an increase in rudenessonline with people having no qualmsabout being less polite virtually thanin person.”
I think our rudeness began tickingup with the introduction of anothertechnological innovation: the tele-phone.
As phones became commonplace inAmerican homes, people could com-municate miles apart with each other— rather than being face-to-face.
People are much more likely to saythings over the phone that they wouldnever try to get away with sayingwhile looking you in the eyes.
Technology continued to evolve, andso did our opportunities for rudeness.When answering machines becamewidely available in the ‘70s, peopleinitially considered them rude.
Callers had the sense that the peo-ple they were calling were using thedevices to screen their calls — andthey were, so callers often hung up be-fore leaving a message.
The telephone company solved thatproblem with the introduction of “*69”— punching in *69 to retrieve thenumber of the last person to call you.
Boy, did that technology make usruder. I remember coming home oncefrom a business meeting to find some-one had hung up on my answeringmachine without leaving a message. Idialed *69, retrieved the number andcalled.
The phone rang four times beforean answering machine picked up. Awoman’s recorded voice said, “Hello,Bill and I aren’t in right now ... .” Ihad no idea who the woman was, so Ihung up.
I returned home again later thatday to discover another person hadhung up on my machine. I dialed *69,
retrieved the number and called. I gotan answering machine — “Hello, Billand I aren’t in right now ... .” — andhung up.
A few moments later, my phonerang.
“Hello,” I said. “Who is this?” said a woman. “Who is this?” I said. “You called me and hung up!” she
said. Ah, it was Bill’s wife! “You called me and hung up!” I said. “*69 took me to you!” she said. “*69 took me to you!” I said. The woman uttered some profani-
ties, then hung up. Caller ID quickly made both an-
swering machines and *69 obsolete.Before long, everyone was screeningcalls. How rude.
The cell phone kicked rudeness intohigh gear. People are happy to makeand take calls at the library, the movietheater and anywhere else they canannoy their fellow man.
Email is another innovation that isstill doing damage. People dash offnotes in anger, in which they saythings to friends, loved ones and sud-denly former bosses that they wouldnever say in person.
Then there’s text messaging — theart of pressing both thumbs against aminiature keypad to bastardize theEnglish language.
If you try to have a face-to-face con-versation with a younger person, youcannot do so without him or her tex-ting five or more people while youchat — behavior that used to be con-sidered awfully rude.
And now, with social media, rude-ness has a public forum. In haste, wetype and post messages we would nev-er say in person — messages thatsometimes destroy relationships andreputations, particularly when thosemessages go viral.
It’s true that there are many rea-sons for the breakdown of civility. Ju-
dith Martin, Miss Manners, says goodmanners are the philosophical basis ofcivilization. When manners arestrong, people restrain their impulsesto be rude and abrasive — regardlessof the form of communication theyuse.
But when manners are weak — andthey are weak in societies in whichthe government determines behaviorwith a growing list of laws, rules, reg-ulations and punishments — they area reflection of the health of a civiliza-tion.
And where rudeness is concerned,our civilization isn’t looking sohealthy.

BY DAN JUNEAUSpecial from LABI
BATON ROUGE — One positive as-pect of being around a long time isseeing lots of folks whack at the piña-ta of reform with varying degrees ofsuccess. I, too, have taken my swingsat the papier-mâché donkey and occa-sionally saw the candy hit the ground.Tax reform is arguably the toughestgenre of reform to achieve. Why? Be-cause everyone is impacted by the taxcode, and everyone becomes a stake-holder in the process. In most otherareas of reform, fewer people careabout what is happening. That isn’tthe case when government at any lev-el starts to dictate what taxpayers cankeep and what they must render toCaesar.
Gov. Jindal pulled down his taxswap plan when he gave his openingaddress to the Legislature on April 8.Though some may have been sur-prised by that announcement, mostinformed observers knew the gover-nor’s proposal was DOA and respectedhis decision to strike his colors. Therewas no logic for pushing forward witha plan that stood no chance in movingthrough the legislative process.
While Gov. Jindal pitched his planas being a removal of all income taxeson the books — personal and corpo-rate — there was no doubt that theabolition of the personal income taxwas his true goal and everything elsewas expendable. That fact became ob-vious when the administration re-vealed that the business communitywould be hit with a $500 million nettax increase, a low-ball estimate ac-cording to several reputable econo-mists, in order to make the originalplan work. The true objective of re-moving the personal income tax wasexposed to a greater degree whenTeam Jindal narrowed its focus onlyto the personal income tax after thegovernor’s speech to the Legislatureand confirmed that they were nolonger bound by a revenue neutral ap-proach.
As previously noted, I have been in-volved in many big reform efforts dur-ing the last 40 years including manyfiscal reform battles. I have gained
some trial-by-fire knowledge and con-ventional wisdom along the way. Iwould like to share some of that withthe elected officials who will contem-plate a tax reform agenda now or inthe future.
1. Do not attempt tax reform intimes of uncertain revenues or budgetcrises. Tax reform is best done whenbudget surpluses are occurring andrevenues are on a sustained growthcurve. A high degree of revenue cer-tainty makes taxpayers and govern-ment service recipients more tolerantof experiments with the tax code. Thatis certainly not the case at the mo-ment.
2. Before embarking on a tax reformmission, gather hard, verifiable dataabout the current tax system and anyvariants that may be proposed. Sharethat information with potential propo-nents and opponents of the reforms.Be totally transparent and honestabout the numbers at every step of theprocess. Answer every question withthe best information available. Be pre-pared to defend every data point be-fore embarking on the process.
3. Pitch a big tent and bring everypotential stakeholder inside of it earlyon in the process. If the meetings get
heated, so much the better. Let every-one have input and let everyone, notjust a select few, have an opportunityto shape the proposal. Total consensusin the end may be impossible, but let-ting all parties play in the process willincrease the odds for success.
4. Do not rush the process. Developa well-constructed proposal and spendthe amount of time necessary sellingit to what will likely be a skepticalpublic. Take constructive criticismand modify the proposal according tothat input.
5. Get as many stakeholders as pos-sible to literally sign on to the propos-al. Show broad-based support and usethat support network to sell the plan.
Several of those steps were missingin the governor’s original proposal.There probably isn’t time to accom-plish the process in the next fewweeks for a plan that phases out thepersonal income tax but does not fullyaddress the revenue loss that accom-panies it. There is an art to reform,particularly tax reform. That art hadbeen absent thus far in the currentprocess.

ObamacareIs Crumbling
BY PHIL KERPENObamacare is falling apart before
our eyes. The long-term care insur-ance program known as the CLASSACT was deemed financiallyunworkable and shut down by theadministration’s own actuaries.Taxpayer-funded health care coop-eratives never got off the groundand were shut down in the fiscalcliff deal. Last month the federalPre-Existing Condition InsurancePlan stopped accepting enrollmentapplications. This week 79 U.S.senators, including 34 Democrats,voted to repeal the law’s medicaldevice tax. Premiums in the indi-vidual and small group marketscould spike as much as 116 percentnext year. The wheels are alreadywobbling and the worst is yet tocome.
The exchanges at the heart of thenew Obamacare entitlement areslated to be up and running foropen enrollment beginning Oct. 1.Millions of Americans will bedumped into these exchanges byemployers dropping coverage andmillions more will be forced toenter the exchanges by the individ-ual mandate. But will there actual-ly be functioning exchanges forthem to go to? Maybe not.
The Obamacare law was writtento incentivize states to do theheavy lifting of setting up and run-ning the exchanges, which areadministratively and technological-ly complex. But more than half thestates said no thanks, looking atthe proposed regulations and long-term operating costs and choosingto let the feds try to administertheir own mess. And the statesthat did choose to play ball weren’table to make much progressbecause the Obama administrationstalled key regulations until afterthe election.
Now the feds are rushing to getthe exchanges ready.
“We are under 200 days fromopen enrollment, and I’m pretty
nervous,” confessed Henry Chao,the deputy chief information officeron the Centers for Medicare andMedicaid Services — which is set-ting up the federal exchanges. “Thetime for debating about the size oftext on the screen or the color or isit a world-class user experience,that’s what we used to talk abouttwo years ago,” Chao said. “Let’sjust make sure it’s not a third-world experience.”
So don’t be surprised if openenrollment doesn’t start Oct. 1 asplanned. And when the exchangesare up and running, what planswill be available to purchasethrough them? One effect ofstalling the regulations past theelection is that the choices offeredin most states will be meager sim-ply because there isn’t much timeto develop plans and make surethey are compliant.
The plans that are offered aregoing to be expensive because ofthe law’s mandates and regula-tions. Every major insurer is nowwarning of a huge spike in premi-ums, especially for younger, health-ier people who can no longer beoffered significantly lower ratesthan older people who use morehealth care. Some people may getsubsidies to help pay — after fill-ing out a 21-page form — but oth-ers will find their families ineligi-ble for subsidies unless they stopworking full-time or, believe it ornot, get divorced.
Democrats want to believe thatthe future of Obamacare wassecured by President Obama’s re-election. But if implementationends up being the disaster thatlooks increasingly likely, theAmerican people will have the finalword.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Po-lice have a suspect in mind asthey investigate a letter mailedto Sen. Roger Wicker that test-ed positive for poisonous ricin,a Senate colleague said.
“The person that is a suspectwrites a lot of letters to mem-bers,” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Tuesday as sheemerged from a classified brief-ing.
Authorities declined to com-ment on a suspect or any otheraspect of the investigation be-ing led by Capitol Police andthe FBI after tests indicatedthat a letter mailed to the Mis-sissippi Republican’s Washing-ton office contained the poten-tially deadly toxin. The letterwas intercepted at a Senatemail facility in Prince George’sCounty, Md., just outside Wash-ington, said Illinois Sen. DickDurbin, a member of the Sen-ate’s Democratic leadership.
The letter’s discovery shookthe U.S. Capitol, where several
events were canceled Tuesdayin response to Monday’s Bostonbombing that killed three peo-ple, injured more than 170 andignited fresh fears of terrorism.There was no evidence of a con-nection between the two events.
FBI spokesman Paul Bressonsaid initial field tests on thesubstance produced mixed re-sults and it was undergoingfurther analysis at a laboratory.Only after that testing could adetermination be made aboutwhether the substance wasricin, Bresson said.
Capitol Police spokesmanShennell S. Antrobus said po-lice were notified that the mailfacility had received “an enve-lope containing a white granu-lar substance.”
“The envelope was immedi-ately quarantined by the facili-ty’s personnel and USCP HAZ-MAT responded to the scene,”Antrobus said. “Preliminarytests indicate the substancefound was ricin. The material is
being forwarded to an accredit-ed laboratory for further analy-sis.”
One congressional official,speaking on condition ofanonymity because the investi-gation wasn’t concluded, saidevidence of ricin appeared ontwo preliminary field tests.
Antrobus said operations atthe Capitol complex had notbeen affected by the investiga-tion.
Terrance Gainer, the Senate’ssergeant-at-arms, said the en-velope bore a Memphis, Tenn.,postmark but had no return ad-dress or suspicious markings.
Mail from a broad swath ofnorthern Mississippi, includingTupelo, Oxford and DeSotoCounty, is processed and post-marked in nearby Memphis, ac-cording to a Postal Servicemap. The Memphis center alsoprocesses mail for residents ofWestern parts of Tennessee andeastern Arkansas.
BATON ROUGE (AP) — TheLouisiana Senate approved arequirement Tuesday that Gov.Bobby Jindal’s administrationget approval from its budgetcommittee to privatize LSU’shospitals, but the governor’s of-fice says the measure doesn’thave the force of law and itwon’t seek approval.
Without debate, senators ap-proved legislation that says theLSU Board of Supervisorsneeds the backing of the SenateFinance Committee beforeturning over the managementof the university-run hospitalsto private operators.
The resolution by Sen. EdMurray, D-New Orleans, wasadopted by senators withoutobjection — and with no realexplanation of what its impactwould be. Because it was a res-olution involving only the Sen-ate, it didn’t need House back-ing and it doesn’t go to the gov-ernor’s desk.
Because it was in a Senateresolution, rather than a bill,the Jindal administration does-n’t intend to comply with ask-ing for Senate Finance Com-mittee approval.
“Concerning the resolution, itdoes not have the effect of law.Additionally, the attorney gen-eral has ruled that the public-private partnerships do not re-quire legislative approval,” Jin-dal spokesman Sean Lansingsaid in a statement.
BOSTON (AP) — A bombermay have been seen amid theBoston Marathon revelers car-rying an unusually heavy nylonbag, weighed down with shrap-nel-packed explosives, the FBIhas suggested. Or perhapssomeone heard something be-forehand as a culprit tested ex-plosives or expressed an inter-est in attacking the race.
Law enforcement agenciespleaded Tuesday for the publicto come forward with photos,videos or any information thatmight help them solve the twinbombings that killed three peo-ple and wounded more than170 a day earlier. Investigatorscirculated information aboutthe bombs, which involvedkitchen pressure cookerspacked with explosives, nailsand other lethal shrapnel —but the FBI said nobody hadclaimed responsibility.
“Someone knows who didthis,” Richard DesLauriers,FBI agent in charge in Boston,said at a news conferencewhere he detailed the type ofclues a bomber might have left.“Importantly, the person whodid this is someone’s friend,neighbor, co-worker or rela-tive.”
President Barack Obamabranded the attack an act ofterrorism but said officialsdon’t know “whether it wasplanned and executed by a ter-rorist organization, foreign ordomestic, or was the act of amalevolent individual.” Obamaplans to attend an interfaithservice Thursday in the victims’honor in Boston.
Scores of victims of theBoston bombing remained in
hospitals, many with grievousinjuries. Doctors who treatedthe wounded corroborated re-ports that the bombs werepacked with shrapnel intendedto cause mayhem. A 9-year-oldgirl and 10-year-old boy wereamong 17 victims listed in criti-cal condition.
Heightening jitters in Wash-ington, where security alreadyhad been tightened after thebombing, a letter addressed toa senator and poisoned withricin or a similarly toxic sub-stance was intercepted at amail facility outside the capital,lawmakers said.
There was no immediate in-dication the episode was relat-ed to the Boston attack. SenateMajority Leader Harry Reidsaid the letter was sent to Re-publican Sen. Roger Wicker ofMississippi.
In the Boston case, an intelli-gence bulletin issued to law en-forcement includes a picture ofa mangled pressure cooker anda torn black bag that the FBIsaid were part of a bomb thatexploded during the marathon.
DesLauriers said cooperationfrom the community will play akey role in the investigation.He said the range of suspectsremained wide open, but bymidday Tuesday more than2,000 tips had been received.
The bombs exploded 10 ormore seconds apart, tearing offvictims’ limbs and spatteringstreets with blood. The blastsnear the finish line instantlyturned the festive race into ahellish scene of confusion, hor-ror and heroics.
The blasts killed 8-year-old
Martin Richard, of Boston, and29-year-old Krystle Campbell,of Medford. The ShenyangEvening News, a state-run Chi-nese newspaper, identified thethird victim as Lu Lingzi. Shewas a graduate student atBoston University.
Officials found that thebombs in Boston consisted ofexplosives put in ordinary, 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, onewith shards of metal and ballbearings, the other with nails,according to a person close tothe investigation who spoke oncondition of anonymity becausethe probe was still going on.
Both bombs were stuffed intoblack bags and left on theground, the person said.
At Massachusetts GeneralHospital, all four amputationsperformed there were above theknee, with no hope of savingmore of the legs, said Dr.George Velmahos, chief of trau-ma surgery.
“It wasn’t a hard decision tomake,” he said. “We just com-pleted the ugly job that thebomb did.”
DesLauriers confirmed thatinvestigators had found piecesof black nylon from a bag orbackpack and fragments of BBsand nails, possibly contained ina pressure cooker. He said theitems were sent to the FBI lab-oratory at Quantico, Va., foranalysis.
Investigators said they havenot yet determined what wasused to set off the explosives.
DesLauriers said there hadbeen no claim of responsibilityfor the attack.

MORGAN CITY — The firsttwo times Morgan City and As-sumption met as district foes,the two games were decided byone run each time.
When the two teams metTuesday with Morgan Cityas the No. 16 seed, and As-sumption, the No. 17 seed,the game was not muchdifferent.
Assumption used MorganCity errors and small ball toleave with a 3-1 victory.
When they were not bat-ting, the Lady Mustangs’pitcher, Kristyn Torres andtheir defense stopped Mor-gan City, limiting them to ahit.
Morgan City coach Kelly JoAucoin said the close game waswhat she expected, noting thather team would have had toplay an errorless ballgame tohave a shot to win because As-sumption would take advan-tage of them.
“Overall, I think we had agreat season,” Aucoin said.“All things got to come to anend. We didn’t want it to endlike this.”
Neither team could score un-
til the top of the fourth.After Assumption’s first
two batters reached base viaa single to centerfield and anunsuccessful fielders’ choice,respectively, Assumptionloaded the bases whenBrooke Daigle reached on anerror.
During Chelsea Daigle’s atbat, the ball got away fromMorgan City’s catcher and athrow to home as Assump-tion’s courtesy runner slidehome could not be fieldedcleanly for a 1-0 Assumptionlead.
Daigle finished her at batwith a single to centerfield,scoring Harley Gautreau.
Assumption ended the inningwith the bases loaded.
Morgan City had opportuni-ties to score with a runner atthird base in the bottom of thefourth but Kirstyn Torresforced a popup to end the in-ning.
Morgan City again had run-ners at second and third base inthe bottom of the fifth inning,this time with no outs, but Tor-res got out of the inning, sur-rendering only one run on athrowing error.
Tyler Hebert suffered the
loss for Morgan City as she sur-rendered three earned runs onsix hits and struck out six.
Dwanna Lebeau had MorganCity’s lone hit as she finished 1-for-3.
Aucoin lauded her players fortheir effort this year. Duringthe season, they had to battleinjuries, Aucoin had to moveplayers around.
“They fought all seasonlong … They hustled. Theyworked. My pitcher TylerHebert did tremendous forus on the mound this sea-son,” Aucoin said. “Withouther, I don’t think we couldhave gotten as far as we did.She was a tremendous helpand the job she did was un-real.”
Aucoin also had good thingsto say about her lone senior,Katelyn Adams.
“Katelyn Adams, the one sen-ior I have, she has been atremendous asset to this soft-ball team,” Aucoin said. “Fromthe time she walked in here asa freshman, she has played(nearly) every position.”

By CORWIN MURRAYBERWICK — Berwick’s bats
were silent until the sixth in-ning when the Lady Pantherserupted for three runs to over-take Jewel Sumner, 3-1, inClass 3A bi-district playoff ac-tion Tuesday.
Sumner pitcher KristieSanchez kept BHS’ bats at baywith a good change up. The La-dy Panthers had just four hitsheading into the sixth inning.
“I got a little bit of an incor-rect scouting report on theirpitcher,” longtime Berwickcoach Lloyd Burchfield said.“She was way slower and bentthe ball more than I was told. Ittook us a while to make the ad-justment.”
The Cowgirls, the No. 24seed, took a 1-0 lead in thefourth inning after a Lady Pan-thers’ throwing error.
In the bottom of the sixthwith two outs, Berwick’s Abi-gail Ohlin lined a triple to left-centerfield. Megan Fabre fol-lowed with a double off the cen-terfield wall to score Ohlin andtie the game at 1.
Fabre stole second base be-fore Shelby Bergeron doubledto score her. The Lady Panthersadded another run before thebig inning closed to take a 3-1lead into the seventh.
“Abby Ohlin had a huge daytoday,” Burchfield said. “Shewas on base every time I be-lieve, and she’s signing withLSU-E tomorrow and that’s a
tremendous thing for Abigail… Then Megan gets that dou-ble off the wall, but it’s notlike we pounded the balltonight but we finally gotsome timely hits.”
The leading hitters forBerwick were Ohlin, 2-for-2, atriple, two stolen bases and arun; Fabre, 1-for-3, a double, anRBI and a run; Bergeron, 1-for-3, a double, an RBI and a run;Alexis Kates, a single and anRBI; and Hayley Girard, OliviaGilbert and Celeste Bowers,each a single.
Berwick starter Bergeron al-so had a strong performance inthe circle.
“Shelby did a great job forus,” Burchfield said. “The onerun she gave up was unearned,so she was really on her spotsand she changed speeds verywell.”
Ninth-seeded Berwick (18-9)will travel to face eighth-seedCrowley (25-6) in regional playFriday. First pitch is set for 6p.m.
Crowley beat No. 25 seedLivonia, 10-0, in the firstround.
“I told the team sometimesthese games are the hardestgames to win,” Burchfield saidof Tuesday’s victory. “When youface a pitcher like that, youhave to be glad you found a wayto win, and that’s what we didtoday. It’s a good win for us andwe look forward to playingCrowley.”

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) —A New York City judge has dis-missed an NBA security offi-cial’s discrimination and as-sault lawsuit against Universi-ty of Connecticut women’s bas-ketball coach Geno Auriemma,the NBA and USA Basketball,saying the alleged wrongdoingdidn’t happen in New York.
Kelley Hardwick sued instate court in Manhattan inJune, alleging she was removedfrom the security detail of theUSA women’s basketball teamat the London Olympics lastyear because she spurned sexu-al advances from Auriemmaduring a 2009 national teamtrip to Russia. Auriemma, whocoached the Olympic team tothe gold medal, denied the alle-gations.
Hardwick, the NBA’s direc-tor of security and a formerNew York police detective,said league officials removedher from the detail after Au-riemma told a USA Basketballofficial that he didn’t wantHardwick to provide securityfor the team. The nationalteam official then told Hard-wick’s supervisor at the NBAand she was reassigned, herlawsuit said.
After filing the lawsuit,Hardwick said she was rein-stated to the national team’s se-curity detail but with signifi-cantly reduced responsibilities.After being reinstated, she saidAuriemma screamed at her infront of the team, promptingthe civil assault charge, courtdocuments say.

By The Associated PressCLEVELAND — They
scrambled to put the jersey to-gether, and then the Red Soxhung it proudly on the dugoutwall.
For nine innings, No. 617with “Boston” above the numer-als and “Strong” below them re-minded the players of home —where they were needed, wherethey wanted to be.
They were playing for muchmore than each other.
“It was just something to letthem know, they’re out of sightright now, but definitely not outof mind,” outfielder JonnyGomes said. “We just wanted tolet people know we’ve got aheavy heart over here.”
Mike Napoli hit a three-rundouble in Boston’s seven-runsecond inning and the Red Sox,playing their first game sincethe deadly bombings backhome, beat the Cleveland Indi-ans 7-2 on Tuesday night.
Boston’s players had already
boarded buses for the airportMonday when they learned ofthe explosions and horror nearthe Boston Marathon’s finishline, where three people werekilled and more than 170 in-jured. The Red Sox were hopingto bring some relief to those af-fected by the tragedy, and theymay have while winning theirfourth straight.
“Given what’s taken place,this is fresh on everyone’sminds,” manager John Farrellsaid. “Even though we may notbe in Boston right now, we car-ry this with us. We feel verymuch a part of the city and thecommunity and everything thatgoes on there.
“We have not forgotten byany means.”
Before the game, Gomesasked one of Boston’s clubhouseworkers to make up the grayjersey with No. 617 — Boston’sarea code — on the back. Far-rell said there was discussionamong the players of how theycould help, and the jersey be-came a fitting symbol of howmuch they care.
“This is being carried by eachguy,” Farrell said. “Guys are re-ally conscious of what has tak-en place for sure.”
The series opener was alsoIndians manager Terry Fran-cona’s first game against theRed Sox, the team he led to twoWorld Series titles during eightseasons in Boston.
Helped by five walks, theRed Sox scored seven runs inthe second off Ubaldo Jimenez(0-2) and gave Felix Doubront(1-0) all the support he needed.
Staked to the big lead,Doubront allowed two runs andfour hits in five innings. Hestruck out seven.
Monday’s tragic events inBoston brought a somber toneto Francona’s reunion as wellas to the Red Sox. Before the
game, in a clubhouse devoid ofits usual pregame sound andbustle, several players spoke ofhow a memorable Patriots Daywin over Tampa Bay turnedhorrific.
With the American flagclinging to the pole and at half-staff, the Red Sox and Indians,wearing black armbands,solemnly took the field for amoment of silence before thenational anthem to honor thosewho lost their lives in theBoston bombings.
As players placed their capsover their hearts, closed theireyes and bowed their heads,Boston’s “B” logo appeared onthe left-field scoreboard with“STRONG” written under-neath.
“You get so ramped up for abaseball game because it’s soimportant to us and then youlook up and realize why you’rehaving a moment of silence,”Francona said. “If you need per-spective, it gives it to you in ahurry.”
And then before the firstpitch, Fenway Park music stan-dard “Sweet Caroline” filled theballpark, another nod to Bostonand moving forward.
“That was a very classytouch,” Francona said.
Francona was hoping thegame could bring Red Sox Na-tion — and everyone affected bythe tragedy — some comfort.
“If it helps anybody at all,that would be terrific,” he said.“I don’t know how you quantifywhat happened. It’s just unfair.I just hope maybe this gamedoes help some people.”
Cleveland did all it could tomake the visitors welcome. Ayoung Indians fan presentedthe Red Sox with a sign hewrote in red ink and ordainedwith hearts. The note, whichwas hung in Boston’s dugout,read: “From our city to your
city: Our hearts and prayers goout to you, Boston. Love, Cleve-land.”
For Francona, there will beanother day to reflect and getnostalgic about his years inBoston.
This wasn’t the time or place.Francona did all he could to
downplay his first meetingagainst the Red Sox since hewas fired following the 2011season, when Boston collapseddown the stretch.
The year he spent working asan ESPN analyst may havehelped heal some of the hurtfeelings, but Francona knowsthings will be different onCleveland’s visit to Boston nextmonth.
“We’re not in Boston. I hadmostly eight really good years(there),” he said. “I don’t think Iwould’ve scripted the end theway it ended. And you move on.Sometimes it’s time to move on.I’m really happy where I’m athere, and I think it’s unfair tothe players for me to have likenostalgia week.
“Our job is to beat them. Andit is ‘them.’”
His starting pitcher didn’thelp.
Jimenez was atrocious in histwo-inning stint. The right-hander walked five, includingtwo with the bases loaded, toforce in a pair of runs.
Pedro Ciriaco hit a sacrificefly and Jacoby Ellsbury had anRBI single off Jimenez, whowas pulled after walkingDustin Pedroia to load thebases on his 59th pitch. As hewalked slowly to the dugout,Indians fans let Jimenez knowhow they felt about his latestpoor performance. He is 1-12since the second half of last sea-son.
Cody Allen relieved Jimenezand gave up Napoli’s three-rundouble to make it 7-0.

News briefsDiplomats: Iran upsnuke technology
VIENNA — Technicians up-grading Iran’s main uraniumenrichment facility havetripled their installations ofhigh-tech machines that couldbe used in a nuclear weaponsprogram to more than 600 inthe last three months, diplo-mats said today.
They say the machines arenot yet producing enriched ura-nium and some may be onlypartially installed. Still themove is the latest sign that 10years of diplomatic efforts havefailed to persuade Tehran tocurb its uranium enrichment.Instead, Iran continues to in-crease its capacities.
The installations also sug-gest that Iran possesses boththe technology and the raw ma-terials to mass-produce cen-trifuges that can enrich urani-um much faster than the morethan 12,000 inefficient ma-chines now making up thebackbone of its enrichment pro-gram.
The Islamic Republic insistsit has no interest in nuclearweapons and says it’s enrichinguranium only for nuclear pow-er and other non-military ap-plications. Iran also asserts ithas a right to do so under in-ternational law.
But the United States, Is-rael, and their allies sayTehran’s nuclear secrecy andsuspicions they shared with theInternational Atomic EnergyAgency that Iran may haveworked secretly on nucleararms makes them fear Iranmay use the technology to cre-ate weapons-level uraniumthat can be used in an atomicbomb.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — For-mer South Carolina Gov. MarkSanford’s ex-wife has accusedhim of trespassing at her homein violation of their divorce set-tlement, and a judge set ahearing two days after the Re-publican will stand for electionin his effort to mount a politicalcomeback by winning a vacantcongressional seat.

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s JusticeMinistry says authorities haveexecuted 21 prisoners convictedon terrorism charges and linksto al-Qaida.
The ministry said today theexecutions were carried out onTuesday by hanging. It says allthe men were Iraqi al-Qaidaoperatives who were involvedin bombings, car bomb attacksand assassinations.
The hangings brought thenumber of prisoners executedin Iraq so far this year to 50.

Thatcher laid torest with full pomp
LONDON — MargaretThatcher, Britain’s Iron Lady,was laid to rest today with alevel of pomp and protest re-flecting her status as a com-manding, polarizing politicalfigure.
Queen Elizabeth II, primeministers and dignitaries from170 countries were among themourners at St. Paul’s Cathe-dral, where Bishop of LondonRichard Chartres spoke of thestrong feelings the formerprime minister still evokes 23years after leaving office.
More than 700 soldiers,sailors and air force personnellined the route taken byThatcher’s coffin to the cathe-
dral and around 4,000 police of-ficers were on duty. Securitywas stepped up after Monday’sbombings at the BostonMarathon that killed three peo-ple and wounded more than170.

Red Wing Police Chief RogerPohlman says the body tum-bled out of a bed sheet atCrothall Laundry Tuesday.Pohlman said today laundryemployees called the hospitalthat owns the linens and some-one from the hospital traveledto Red Wing to retrieve thebody.
The chief says his investiga-tors did not see the body but in-terviewed laundry employees.Pohlman says he doesn’t knowthe gender, age or identity ofthe baby.

Senate vote nears, backgroundcheck bill in peril
WASHINGTON — A biparti-san effort to expand back-ground checks is in deep trou-ble as the Senate approaches along-awaited vote on the linch-pin of the drive to curb gun vio-lence. As the showdown drawsnear, an Associated Press-GfKpoll shows ebbing public sup-port for tightening gun controllaws.
In the run-up to the roll callexpected today, so many Re-publicans had declared theiropposition to the backgroundcheck measure that supporters— mostly Democrats — seemedheaded to defeat unless theycould turn votes around in thefinal hours. Supporters seemedlikely to lose some moderateDemocratic senators as well.
“It’s a struggle,” New YorkSen. Chuck Schumer, the No. 3Senate Democrat, concededTuesday.
Perhaps helping explain De-mocrats’ problems, an AP-GfKpoll this month showed that 49percent of Americans supportstricter gun laws. That wasdown from 58 percent who saidso in January — a month afterthe December killings of 20children and six aides at aNewtown, Conn., elementaryschool propelled gun violenceinto a national issue.
American expectsreturn to normalcy
DALLAS — American Air-lines is promising to run anear-normal operation today,and that would be just fine forthe tens of thousands of pas-sengers who were stranded bya mammoth technology melt-down at the nation’s third-biggest airline.
On Tuesday, American andsister airline American Eaglecanceled 970 flights and de-layed at least 1,068 more byearly evening, according toflight-tracking serviceFlightAware.com.
That means American andEagle canceled or delayed near-ly two-thirds of their scheduledflights after they lost access toa computer system that’s usedfor everything from issuingboarding passes to determininghow much fuel to pump intothe plane.
It was a public-relationsnightmare for American, whichis preparing to merge with USAirways and become theworld’s biggest carrier. Passen-gers took to social media sitesto criticize the airline, whichfor hours could only apologizeand say that it was trying to fixthe problem.
The man who will leadAmerican in a few months, USAirways CEO Doug Parker, hassaid he would prefer to converthis planes and employees toAmerican’s computer systemrather than the other wayaround.
US Airways declined to com-ment on whether Tuesday’sbreakdown would cause Parkerto rethink his plans.
Eventually the Federal Avia-tion Administration issued aso-called ground stop for Amer-ican Airlines jets around thecountry.

U.S. District Judge Stan-wood Duval Jr. said he can’thold the Corps or its contractor,Washington Group Internation-al Inc., responsible for the 2005failure of a floodwall meant toprotect the city’s Lower 9thWard and neighboring St.Bernard Parish.
Duval said the floodwall wasa “disaster waiting to happen”due to several “anomalies,” in-cluding a structural defect. Buthe ruled that plaintiffs’ attor-neys failed to prove the breach-es were caused by “uplift pres-sures” created by WGI’s work.
“The Court cannot and willnot find as a certainty what ex-actly caused these breaches,”he wrote in the ruling, issuedFriday.
Duval held a trial without ajury last year for homeowners’claims against the Corps andWGI. The Corps argued it wasentitled to immunity from theplaintiffs’ claims, blaming thedamage on deficiencies in theoriginal design and construc-tion of the floodwall.
For nearly eight years, Duval
has presided over a raft of liti-gation spawned by levee andfloodwall failures. He said lastweek’s decision is likely his lastsignificant ruling in the litiga-tion.
“One central theme has beenpainfully obvious throughoutthis entire process; many of thelevees protecting New Orleansand the surrounding area weretragically flawed,” Duval wrote.
But the Flood Control Act of1928 gives the Corps “virtuallyabsolute immunity, no matterhow negligent it might havebeen in designing and oversee-ing the construction of the lev-ees,” he added.
Duval previously sided withthe plaintiffs in a separate case,ruling in 2009 that the Corps’shoddy work on a shippingchannel left the same areas vul-nerable to flooding. In thatcase, Duval concluded theCorps wasn’t entitled to theprotections of the 1928 law.
But the 5th U.S. CircuitCourt of Appeals reversed itselflast year and overturned Du-val’s landmark ruling, whichhad been one of the few legalvictories for residents seekingcompensation for damage afterKatrina.
In his latest ruling, Duvaldescribed the Corps as a “bu-reaucratic behemoth” that is“virtually unaccountable to thecitizens it protects.”
Joseph Bruno, one of thelead plaintiffs’ attorneys in thelevee litigation, said he was“disgusted.”

New facility couldboost La. exports
BATON ROUGE —Louisiana agricultural produc-ers are highly dependent onthe world market to sell theircommodities, and a new exportfacility at the Port of BatonRouge could increase theamount of ag products shippedabroad.
“For many of our major rowcrop commodities, exports arelikely a major destination,”said LSU AgCenter economistKurt Guidry. “We don’t have alot of value-added processingfor things like corn, grainsorghum, wheat and soybeans.
“So, given our geographic lo-cation and given the lack of al-ternative markets for many ofour commodities, much of whatwe grow of those feed grainsand oilseeds likely is destinedfor the export market.”
According to figures from theU.S. Department of Agricul-ture, Louisiana had $1.6 billionworth of agricultural exports in2011. Sugar was the No. 1 ex-
port product from Louisiana, at$304 million in 2011. Rice wassecond at $264 million, fol-lowed by cotton at $242 mil-lion.
The International Trade As-sociation shows China, Japanand Mexico as the top threebuyers of Louisiana ag prod-ucts.

It is the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s second attempt atimplementing such a system,which officials say is critical tomaintaining the security of thenation’s food supply. An earlier,voluntary program failed be-cause of widespread oppositionamong farmers and rancherswho described it as a costlyhassle that didn’t help controldisease.
There has been talk for yearsamong consumer advocatesabout establishing a programthat would trace food fromfarm to plate. The livestockidentification system doesn’t gothat far and isn’t meant to. Itsmain goal is to track animals’movements so agriculture andhealth officials can quickly es-tablish quarantines and takeother steps to prevent thespread of disease.

Spitale’s Pharmacy back inbusiness as Spitale Drugs
MORGAN CITY — A decadeafter closing its doors, Spitale’sPharmacy will re-open for busi-ness as Spitale Drugs.
Louis Spitale is resurrectinga long tradition of Spitale fami-ly pharmacists serving theMorgan City area with hissmall, independent pharmacy.
Spitale Drugs is a people-friendly, service-oriented phar-macy steeped in the tradition ofSam Spitale’s journey to Mor-gan City and Sam’s long tenureof caring for thousands of peo-ple from 1959 through 2003during his 44 years as a Mor-gan City pharmacist, Louis Spi-tale said.
Louis, like his father, grewup working in a pharmacy.When Louis told his dad thathe wanted to become a pharma-cist, Sam did not mind, he said.“He welcomed the help,” Louissaid of his father.
Louis had been working inthe pharmacy business with hisfather since the sixth grade.Sam expected all his children towork at his pharmacy. As a re-sult, Sam’s other son, Santo,became a pharmacist as well.He joined Spitale’s Pharmacyin 2002.
Louis graduated from Mor-gan City’s own Central Catholicin 1984, then from pharmacyschool at NortheasternLouisiana University in 1989.Louis said he then went to
work at K&B in Cutoff for twoyears to gain “outside of thefamily” work experience, al-ways knowing that he wouldmove back home to MorganCity to work with Sam.
Sam and Louis spent 12years working together at Spi-tale’s Pharmacy.
“I like helping people andknowing that they have confi-dence in me,” Louis said.
His father added: “It’s a goodfeeling to help somebody, espe-cially at two in the morningwhen they wake you up. Ofcourse that’s another reasonwhy I like Louis working herewith me. Now they can callhim.”
Sam admits to being “old-school” and that he did not ridethe technological waves ofchange very well. Rather thanadapting to a completely newway of providing pharmacyservices, Sam opted to retire af-ter 44 years of serving the Mor-gan City community.
With the pharmacy closing,his two sons, Louis and Santo,chose to work for chain phar-macies. Both Louis and Santohad young, growing families.They chose normal hours and anormal life, in contrast to thelong hours and 24-hour respon-sibility of a pharmacy with thefamily name on the building,Louis said
“Owning and operating a
family pharmacy takes a greatcommitment of time and dedi-cation; time and dedication thatsteals many days and nights ofthe pharmacist’s time awayfrom the wives and children ofyoung, growing families,” Louissaid.
Louis worked over the past 9years at Rite Aid in BayouVista, serving as manager ofthe store for the past severalyears and winning multipleawards for his great strengthsas the pharmacy manager.
Opening Spitale Drugs willre-establish a Morgan City tra-dition of a small, family-runpharmacy providing personalservice to its customers as wellas service to the community,Louis said.
While Louis now is at thehelm, Sam often is seen at thenew Spitale Drugs meeting thecustomers and talking aboutold times.
To celebrate its re-opening,every purchase from April 16 toMay 16 will give customers achance to win one of multiplegift certificates from local mer-chants. In addition, each pre-scription filled at Spitale Drugswill give customers a chance towin a Kindle Fire.
Spitale Drugs is located inthe old Spitale’s Pharmacybuilding at 1200 N. Victor IIBlvd.
Patterson State Bank recently made a donation to the Tri-City Helping Hearts Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organization established to serve the citizens ofAmelia, Morgan City, Berwick and Patterson needing finan-cial assistance with the burial of a loved one. This is possi-ble through events such as the benefit gospel banquetbeing held Saturday, April 27, at 4 p.m. at the St. MarySenior Citizens Center, located at 4014 Chennault St., Mor-gan City.

the builders have assembled most of theremaining 5-by-7 windows, a drive-throughcanopy and the roof. McQuillan said workersare preparing for the exterior finishes thatwill include brick, stucco and shingles.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s the landwhere Chuck Yeager broke the soundbarrier, where the space shuttle fleetrolled off the assembly line and wherethe first private manned rocketshipclimbed to space.
Capitalizing on Southern Califor-nia’s aerospace fortunes, two rivalgroups want to add another laurel:drone test range.
They face crowded competition.In search of an economic boost,more than half the country is look-ing toward the sky — expected to bebuzzing in the near future with pi-
lotless aircraft.Before that can become reality, the
Federal Aviation Administration lastmonth put out a call to test fly dronesat half a dozen to-be-determined sitesbefore they can share the same spaceas commercial jetliners, small aircraftand helicopters.
Fifty teams from 37 states an-swered, vying to win bragging rightsas a hub for unmanned aerial vehicles.
The military has long flown dronesoverseas to support troops, spy on ene-mies and fire missiles. There’s a recentclamor to fly them domestically to
track the health of crops, fight wild-fires in remote terrain, conduct searchand rescue after a disaster and per-form other chores considered too“dirty, dull or dangerous” for pilots.The expanding use for drones comesamid concerns of a “Big Brother” socie-ty.
The untapped civilian market — es-timated to be worth billions — has cre-ated a face-off, with states perfectingtheir pitch — ample restricted air-space, industry connections, academicpartners — not unlike what you mightread in a tourism brochure.
“It’s the chance to get in on theground floor of what may be the nextbig business,” said Peter Singer, a ro-botics expert at the Brookings Institu-tion think tank in Washington. “Thestates competing hope it might makethem the robotics equivalent of Detroitfor automobiles in the 20th century orSilicon Valley for computers.”
Winners will play key roles in help-ing the government seamlessly transi-tion drones, which are controlled re-motely by joystick, into the civilianairspace without crashing into otherplanes or injuring bystanders.
Supporters of a Southern Californiatest site point to an existing dronepresence. General Atomics Aeronauti-cal Systems Inc., based in the SanDiego suburbs, makes the Predatorthat has circled over Iraq andAfghanistan. Just outside of down-town Los Angeles, AeroVironment in-troduced the world’s first humming-bird spy plane and is developing othertiny drones inspired by biology.
“From start to finish, you can doyour UAV work here,” said John Roseof the American Institute of Aeronau-tics and Astronautics.

[email protected] 25-year-old Patterson man
was arrested Monday by Mor-gan City police on multiplecharges after he allegedly gotout of his vehicle and ran fromofficers when they approachedhim because he was wanted onwarrants from several depart-ments, according to MorganCity Police Chief TravisCrouch.
Anthony Variet, 25, of Cleve-land Street in Patterson, wasarrested at 4:30 p.m. Monday,charged with reckless operationof a vehicle, resisting an officer;fugitive warrant for PattersonPolice Department for disturb-ing the peace fighting, dis-charging a firearm in the citylimits, disturbing the peace byalarming the public, on a fugi-
tive warrant for the St. MaryParish Sheriff ’s Office for sim-ple possession of marijuana, ona bench warrant for the 16thJudicial District Court for fail-ure to appear for trial oncharges of unauthorized entryof an inhabited dwelling andsimple kidnapping, possessionof cocaine with intent to distrib-ute, criminal neglect of family;Morgan City Court warrantsfor failure to appear for drivingunder suspension, no vehicleinspection sticker, telephoneharassment; a 32nd JudicialDistrict Court warrant for Ter-rebonne Parish for failure toappear for speeding 80 mph ina 55 mph zone, and no driver’slicense.
Morgan City police receiveda call of Variet being in the areaof Egle Street. Numerous de-
partments held warrants forhis arrest. Upon arrival, offi-cers observed him travellingwest in a vehicle on Egle Street.They attempted to stop his ve-hicle and he turned south onShannon Street, east on Terre-bonne Street. The vehiclestopped and Variet, who wasthe driver, exited and beganrunning from the officers, ac-cording to Crouch. They gavepursuit and Variet was subse-quently captured after crossinga fence at the rear of a BowmanStreet residence. He was takento jail with no bail set at thistime.
Morgan City Police ChiefTravis Crouch reported thefollowing arrests:
—Dedrick Gant Sr., 27, ofLive Oak Street in Patterson,was arrested Monday, on a war-rant hold for the St. Mary Sher-iff ’s Office for failure to appearon the charge of unlawful use ofidentification to gain access to agaming establishment.
Gant was observed on thecorner of Garber Street andFederal Avenue, according toCrouch. A local warrant checkwas made and a warrant for hisarrest was discovered. He wastaken to jail with no bail set atthis time.
—Burnell Albert Narcisse,47, of Keith Street in MorganCity was arrested on Tuesdayon warrants for resisting an of-ficer, probation violation, sim-ple battery domestic violence.He was additionally chargedwith another count of resistingan officer,
Morgan City police receivedinformation that Narcisse wasin the Jacquet Homes area andwas wanted by police on out-standing warrants. Officers lo-cated him on Apple Street. Po-lice say that Narcisse attempt-ed to conceal his true identityby providing officers with false
information. He remains jailedwith no bail set.
—Jesse P. Ludeau, 26, ofElizabeth was arrested earlythis morning and charged withpossession of a firearm by aconvicted felon, flight from anofficer, reckless operation of avehicle, criminal trespassing,discharge of a firearm withinthe city limits, and operating avehicle while intoxicated sec-ond offense.
“After looking at the admin-istration’s budget for the up-coming fiscal year, it is clearthat it contains the same con-stitutional issues as the currentfiscal year budget that prompt-ed our lawsuit” said Talbot.
Additional legal challengesloom. For instance, the gover-nor wants to use money froman artificial reef fund to propup education and health care.In response, the stateWildlife and Fisheries Com-mission, consisting solely ofJindal appointees, is debat-
ing possible litigation.Elsewhere, the popular
TOPS scholarship program, ac-cording to the current budgetbill, would be underwrittenlargely by the state’s tobaccosettlement fund. Never beforehas state general fund dollarscontributed so little to TOPS’bottom line.
After Jindal delivered hisopening remarks to the Legisla-ture last week, the Public Af-fairs Research Council suggest-ed that, because of the gover-nor’s near-complete focus on histax swap plan, “All other majorconcerns facing the state, andall other aspects of tax reformthat might be usefully pursued,seem to have been totallyeclipsed by this one proposedinitiative. The governor made itclear that an income tax repealis all he wants or expects of theLegislature this session.”
Among the topics not men-tioned by Jindal during hisroughly 2,000-word opening ad-dress were his budget’s $1.3 bil-lion revenue shortfall for thenext fiscal year; and the priva-tization of public hospitals.
that the use of a seatbelt mighthinder their ability to get out ofa vehicle. Hammons points tothat reasoning as flawed. With-out proper restraints a driverand/or passenger increases thelikelihood of an injury that ren-ders them unconscious or insome other manner unable toexit the vehicle.
For those who might beafraid a seatbelt would hindertheir ability to exit a crash in ariver or bayou or some otherwaterway, he points to a crashthat involved several people inVermilion Parish that state po-lice investigated. All the occu-pants of the vehicle were ableto get out of the vehicle andwere rescued. Had they notbeen restrained he indicatedthere was a possibility that theforce of the crash would haverendered the occupants unableto exit the vehicle.
“No argument against usingseatbelts is a good one,” Ham-mons said.
If a driver is not in the habitof using a seatbelt and wants toincrease the odds of surviving acrash and possibly reduce theseverity of an injury, the drivermight want to consider memoryaides. Hammons suggest if afamily has children they canput a child in charge of remind-ing everyone. Or, it could be assimple as attaching a note onthe steering wheel.
“It might feel odd to have anote on your steering wheel.But it would be worse findingout how that steering wheelor windshield feels in a
crash,” he said.State police news releases of-
ten mention that routine toxi-cology samples were taken af-ter a crash. Hammons pointsout that most daytime crasheswhere impairment is suspectedare often due to narcoticsrather than alcohol. This caninclude prescribed and legiti-mate use of narcotics.
Drivers who use narcotics formedicinal purposes shouldknow if they drive while underthe influence of their medicineand kill someone they can stillbe charged with vehicularhomicide.
“If you are taking medicinewith a warning not to operateheavy machinery, then youneed to remember that a vehi-cle is heavy machinery,” hewarned.
In regards to alcohol, Ham-mons points out that judgmentbegins to be impaired after asingle drink, even a person’sjudgment as to whether hisability to safely drive is compro-mised.
“The best thing a person cando if they are taking medicineor going to drink will be to havea plan for an alternate driverand put it in place,” was his ad-vice.
State police want drivers totake seriously the warningsgiven about seatbelts, impaireddriving and distractions suchas cellphone use and texting.
“We don’t want to alarm peo-ple (with this message),” saysHammons. “But, we want tomake sure that people areaware that by (paying attentionto these issues) it can and willsave lives.”

Landry said that laws on thebooks attempt to discouragetheft of scrap metals and allowlaw enforcement to keep closetabs on scrap metal sales. Thisalso aids in solving these typesof crimes when they occur.
“These laws have been ofbenefit in this case,” saidLandry.
Last year, the Legislaturepassed Act 292 that requirescopper purchases in excess of$300 to be documented with aphoto ID and payment madewith checks, not cash, whichare mailed to the seller fivedays after the sale.
Landry said scrap metaldealers are very cooperativewith law enforcement and
make reports of transactionsavailable as requested. She alsosaid the scope of the sheriff ’s of-fice investigation extends tosurrounding areas and does notfocus solely on sales of copperand other metal brought to lo-cal scrap dealers.
Detectives are seeking infor-mation from the public regard-ing any suspicious vehicles thatmay have been parked or seendriving in an area near com-mercial buildings. Relaying tothe police anything out of theordinary or suspicious activityin the last couple months maybe the key to solving thesecrimes, according to Landry.
Anyone with informationabout these crimes is asked toreport it to the St. Mary ParishSheriff ’s Office Detectives Divi-sion at 337-828-1960 or 985-384-1622.

Underworld saint becomingmore popular in United States
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)— A follower in New Orleansbuilt a public shrine in her hon-or. An actor in Albuquerquecredits her with helping himland a role on the TV show“Breaking Bad.” She turns uproutinely along the U.S.-Mexicoborder at safe houses, and issighted on dashboards of carsused to smuggle methampheta-mine through the southwestdesert.
Popular in Mexico, and some-times linked to the illicit drugtrade, the skeleton saint knownas La Santa Muerte in recentyears has found a robust anddiverse following north of theborder: immigrant small busi-ness owners, artists, gay ac-tivists and the poor, among oth-ers — many of them non-Lati-nos and not all involved withorganized religion.
Clad in a black nun’s robeand holding a scythe in onehand, Santa Muerte appeals topeople seeking all manner ofotherworldly help: from fendingoff wrongdoing and carryingout vengeance to stoppinglovers from cheating and land-ing better jobs. And others seekher protection for their drugshipments and to ward off lawenforcement.
“Her growth in the UnitedStates has been extraordinary,”said Andrew Chesnut, author of“Devoted to Death: SantaMuerte, the Skeleton Saint”and the Bishop Walter F. Sulli-van Chair in Catholic Studiesat Virginia CommonwealthUniversity. “Because you canask her for anything, she hasmass appeal and is now gaininga diverse group of followersthroughout the country. She’sthe ultimate multi-tasker.”
Exact numbers of her follow-ers are impossible to deter-mine, but they are clearly grow-ing, Chesnut said.
The saint is especially popu-lar among Mexican-AmericanCatholics, rivaling that of St.Jude and La Virgen deGuadalupe as a favorite formiracle requests, even as theCatholic Church in Mexico de-nounces Santa Muerte as sa-tanic, experts say.
Her image has been used onprayers cards citing vengeanceand protection, which are some-times found at scenes of massa-cred bodies and on shipments ofdrugs.
U.S. Marshal Robert Al-monte in West Texas said hehas testified about La SantaMuerte in at least five drugtrafficking cases where her im-age aided prosecutors with con-victions. Last year, Almontetestified that a Santa Muertestatue prayer card, found witha kilogram of methampheta-mine in a couple’s car in NewMexico, were “tools of thetrade” for drug traffickers toprotect them from law enforce-ment. The testimony was usedto help convict the couple ofdrug trafficking.
Almonte has visited shrinesthroughout Mexico, and givenworkshops to law enforcementagencies on the cult of thesaint.
“Criminals pray to La SantaMuerte to protect them fromlaw enforcement,” Almontesaid. “But there are good peoplewho pray to her who aren’t in-volved in any criminal activity,so we have to be careful.”
Small statues of La SantaMuerte have been spotted in re-ligious stores as far as Min-neapolis, and an art show inTucson, Ariz. features all LaSanta Muerte images.
Devotees said La SantaMuerte has helped them find
love, find better jobs andlaunch careers.
Gregory Beasley Jr., 35, be-lieves he landed acting roles on“Breaking Bad” and the 2008movie “Linewatch” after a tra-ditional Mexican-Americanhealer introduced him to LaSanta Muerte.
“All my success ... I owe toher,” he said. “She cleansed meand showed me the way.”
Some devotees pray to thesaint by building altars and of-fering votive candles, fruits,tequila, cigarettes — even linesof cocaine in some cases — inexchange for wishes, Chesnutsaid. A red La Santa Muerte,her best-selling image, helps inmatters of love. Gold ones aidwith employment and whiteones give protection. Mean-while, a black Santa Muertecan provide vengeance.
“She’s my queen,” said ArelyVazquez Gonzalez, a Mexicanimmigrant and transgenderwoman who oversees a large al-tar inside her Queens, NewYork apartment. Against onewall of her bedroom altar is atall, sitting Santa Muerte stat-ue in a black dress surroundedby offerings of tequila.
Gonzalez, who sports a tattooof La Santa Muerte on herback, holds an annual event inAugust in the saint’s honor,with mariachis and a feast.
“All I have to do I ask for herguidance and she provides mewith what I need,” she said.
The origins of La SantaMuerte are unclear. Some fol-lowers say she is an incarna-tion of an Aztec goddess ofdeath who ruled the under-world. Some scholars say sheoriginated in medieval Spainthrough the image of La Parca,a female Grim Reaper, who wasused by friars for the laterevangelization of indigenouspopulations in the Americas.
For decades, though, La San-ta Muerte remained an under-ground figure in isolated re-gions of Mexico and servedlargely as an unofficial Catholicsaint that women called uponto help with cheating spouses,Chesnut said.
It wasn’t until 2001 when adevotee unveiled a public LaSanta Muerte shrine in MexicoCity that followers in greaternumbers began to display theirdevotion for helping them withrelationships and loved ones inprison. Economic uncertaintyand a violent drug war againstcartels that has claimed an es-timated 70,000 lives also arecredited for La Santa Muerte’sgrowth.
Oscar Hagelsieb, assistantspecial agent in charge forHomeland Security Investiga-tions in El Paso, said agentshave found that most membersof the Gulf and Zeta Cartelsmainly pray to Santa Muertewhile those from the Sinaloaand Sonora Cartels honor folksaint Jesus Malverde.
“Altars are very intricate. Wehave found some with food andothers with blood from ani-mals,” Hagelsieb said.
The association with cartelsand denunciations by somepriests has resulted in somenon-devotees destroyingmakeshift roadside altars. Re-cently, assailants smashed alife-size statue of La SantaMuerte in a South Texas ceme-tery. Police in Pasadena, Calif.recently found human bones ata home with a Santa Muerte al-tar outside. The owners saythey bought the bones online.
But the vast majority of
devotees aren’t crooks.Kiko Torres, owner of the
Masks y Mas art store in Albu-querque, said sales of La SantaMuerte statues, incense, andoils have skyrocketed in recentmonths.
“Most people who buy thestuff are regular people whojust recently found out abouther,” he said. “Some probablyhave no idea about her connec-tion to that other world.”
One such devotee is StevenBragg, 36, who said he was in-troduced to La Santa Muerte in2009 and began praying to herfor a variety of different rea-sons, including a plea for a lifecompanion. Recently, the NewOrleans man built a publicchapel to her and holds rosaryservices that attract around adozen people.
He also just formed a non-profit to support the “New Or-leans Chapel of the SantisimaMuerte,” the official name ofhis public altar.

KNOWING HOW, HELPSTHE HELPLESS
Desperate man runs into aroom full of people, shouting,help me, help me, I’m lost andcan’t find my way. I’m trying toget to Heaven, can anybodyplease show me the way? Couldyou sir? Could you ma’am? Howabout you? If we were put onthe spot, could we help directthe situation?
II Timothy 4:1-5, Preach theword; be instant in season, outof season; reprove, rebuke, ex-hort with all longsuffering and“Doctrine.” (The Bible)
Here is the question for to-day; are we making full proof ofour ministry?
We all need direction on howto get to Heaven, since we’re allgoing to die, and go somewhere.All we have got to do is read themanual; (The Bible)
Think of it this way, when wedie, where are we going? Andhow are we going to get there?
Psalm 49:6-7, They that trustin their wealth, and boastthemselves in the multitude oftheir riches;
:7, None of them can by anymeans redeem his brother, norgive to God a ransom for him.
Now remember, I’m writingthis right out of your Bible; soyou can follow along. So, ifmoney, works, can’t help us toour afterlife reward, what’sleft?
Ephesians 2:8-9, For by graceare ye saved through faith; Andthat not of yourselves: It is theGift of God.
:9, Not of works, lest anyman should boast.
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12, I re-turned, and saw under the sun,that the race is not to the swift,nor the battle to the strong, nei-ther yet bread to the wise, norriches to men of understanding,nor yet favor to men of skill; buttime and chance happeneth tothem all.
:12, For man also knoweth
not his time: The Bible says weare snared in an evil time. Weall think our time is going to bedelayed. (But it falleth sudden-ly)
We have looked at a lotthings that won’t help people;nothing we, man, possess. Sowhat’s left? Same thing thatwas in the beginning, Jesus.
I Corinthians 1:17, ForChrist sent me not to baptize,but to preach the gospel: Notwith wisdom of words, lest thecross of Christ should be madeof none effect.
:21, For after that in the wis-dom of God the world by wis-dom knew not God, it pleasedGod by the foolishness ofpreaching to save them that
“believe” (He won’t twist yourarm to believe).
Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ,the same yesterday, and today,and forever.
Jesus is the only constant.James 1:17-18, Every good
gift and every perfect gift isfrom above, and cometh downfrom the Father of lights, withwhom is no variableness, nei-ther shadow of turning.
:18, Of his own will begat Heus with the Word of Truth, thatwe should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. So, togive help; look up for our re-demption draweth neigh. (Luke21:28) Jesus is coming back! Beready.
God bless you, Bro. Ben.

by Byron YorkIf Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform, it will
depend on the Obama administration to enforce the law. Howmight that work?
A glimpse of the future came recently, when the House Sub-committee on Border and Maritime Security held a little-noticedhearing titled “Measuring Outcomes to Understand the State ofBorder Security.”
Immigration reform depends on a secure border. Nearly everylawmaker pushing reform, and certainly every Republican,stresses that the border must be proved secure before millions ofcurrently illegal immigrants can be placed on a path to citizen-ship.
But how do you measure border security? For years, the gov-ernment estimated the number of miles of the border that wereunder “operational control” and came up with various ways todefine what that meant.
Then the Department of Homeland Security threw out theconcept of operational control, which Homeland Security Secre-tary Janet Napolitano called “archaic.” The administrationpromised to create something called the Border Condition Index,or BCI, which would be a “holistic” (and a far better) measure ofborder security.
Time passed, with no BCI. “Nearly three years later, thedepartment has not produced this measure, so at this hearing,we will be asking for a status of the BCI, what measures it willtake into account and when it might be ready,” subcommitteeChairwoman Rep. Candice Miller, a Republican, said beforeWednesday’s testimony. Getting BCI up and running is particu-larly important now, Miller added, because comprehensive immi-gration reform cannot happen without a reliable way to assessborder security.
So imagine everyone’s surprise when Mark Borkowski, a topHomeland Security technology official, told Miller that not onlywas BCI not ready, but that it won’t measure border security andwas never meant to.
“I don’t believe that we intend, at least at this point, that theBCI would be a tool for the measurement that you’re suggest-ing,” Borkowski told Miller. “The BCI is part of a set of informa-tion that advises us on where we are and, most importantly,what the trends are ... It is not our intent, at least not immedi-ately, that it would be the measure you are talking about.”
Miller appeared stunned and practically begged Borkowski,along with two other Homeland Security officials who were testi-fying, to tell her what she wanted to hear. “I’m just trying to letthis all digest,” she said. “We’re sort of sitting here, as a Con-gress ... At what point will you be able to give us something?”
She never got an answer.Even Democrats who oppose tying immigration reform to bor-
der security realized they were being played. “I would say to thedepartment, you’ve got to get in the game,” said a frustrated-sounding Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. “At some point, we’re going tohave to have DHS work with us more concretely about the confi-dence of the security of the border.”
Rep. Ron Barber, the Democrat who replaced Gabrielle Gif-fords in Arizona, noted, “The Border Patrol rolled out last May anew strategy that didn’t have goals, didn’t have metrics, didn’thave a process for evaluation. That’s not really a plan, is it?”
Miller, the chairwoman, reminded the officials that theDepartment of Homeland Security could end up being the “stum-bling block” to immigration reform. But the hearing ended withno hint that any answers might come soon.
A related issue: As reform supporters often point out, a largenumber of illegal immigrants — more than 40 percent — did notcross the border illegally. Rather, they came legally, with a visa,and then never left. Members of the Senate “Gang of Eight” arepromising tough new measures to deal with so-called visa over-stays.
But like the case of border security, Congress has passed lawafter law, going back to 1996, requiring the executive branch tocrack down on overstays. The promised enforcement has neverhappened.
Among the measures: The Illegal Immigration Reform andImmigrant Responsibility Act of 1996; the Immigration and Nat-uralization Service Data Management Improvement Act of 2000;the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001; the Enhanced Border Securityand Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002; and the Intelligence Reformand Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. All directed the executivebranch to stop visa overstays, but the problem remains.
A look at the recent House hearing, as well as at the long-standing overstay problem, highlights a major obstacle to com-prehensive immigration reform. The executive branch has theauthority to enforce border and visa security. But these days, itappears the executive branch, particularly the Department ofHomeland Security, doesn’t want to do the job.
Why would passing a new comprehensive immigration reformmeasure change that?

Hints fromHeloise®
Hash Browns Are in the SoupBY HELOISE
Dear Heloise: In themidst of MAKING POTATOSOUP from scratch, I real-ized that I needed more pota-toes. Remembering I hadhash browns in the freezer, Igrabbed the package. I wasable to add enough frozen po-tatoes to complete my soup.It was so easy and tasty thatI know this will be my fa-vorite recipe in the future. —Kay C. in Texas
Kay, you even could addfrozen potatoes to cannedsoup that you are cooking foradded flavor or to thicken.This is another example ofwhy soup is a favorite mealfor so many people. It is easyto experiment with when try-ing new flavors and ideas. Ienjoy soup so much that Iwrote a pamphlet, Heloise’sSpectacular Soups, which in-cludes some of my favoritesoup recipes as well as thoseof my staff. To receive a copy,send $5 and a long, self-ad-dressed, stamped (66 cents)envelope to: Heloise/Soups,P.O. Box 795001, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5001. If youmake soup and it is too wa-tery, you can thicken it byadding a small amount of in-stant mashed potatoes, a lit-tle at a time, until the soup isthe consistency you desire. —HeloiseBERRY HOLDER
Dear Heloise: We readyour column in the Omaha(Neb.) World-Herald everyday and love the hints. Here’sone for convenience:
My grandkids love allkinds of berries. They mustbe washed, and I worry aboutmessy berry stains. We werein a hurry to get to an ap-pointment, so I grabbed twocoffee travel mugs (with han-
dles and sealable tops). Weput the berries inside andrinsed by filling with waterseveral times and pouringthe water out. The kidsthought that was so muchfun!
They carried the mugs tothe car, removed the lids andpoured the berries, a few at atime, into their mouths. Noberries on the floor, no messand no purple fingers. —S.G., via email
Love the hint, and yournewspaper, too! Say hello tomy friends in Omaha! —HeloiseMORE TOMATO
Dear Heloise: We aretomato lovers, and have al-ways grown our own in Indi-ana. Now, in Florida and re-tired, we no longer have theabundance, so we treat everytomato with more respect.
To increase the yield on atomato, don’t slice it to re-move the stem portion. In-stead, slice down through thestem so that the tomato ishalved and the stem is onboth halves. Now V-cut thestems out, and you will enjoymore tomato and have lesswaste. — A Reader in Florida COLLECT DUST
Dear Heloise: I collectcookie jars and display themon top of my kitchen cabi-nets. When it comes tospring-cleaning, I amshocked to see what is on topof my cabinets. To avoid themuck that accumulates fromcooking, I line the top of thecabinets with newspaper.Now when I clean, all I do isthrow away the old paperand add new paper. No moremuck. — R.M. in Ohio

ASK DOCTOR KTake It Slow And Easy To Avoid Lightheadedness
by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: I often feel
lightheaded when I stand up, espe-cially first thing in the morning.Why does this happen?
DEAR READER: You are prob-ably experiencing a drop in bloodpressure when you stand up. This iscalled orthostatic hypotension. As aresult, not enough blood reachesyour brain, and you feel lighthead-ed or dizzy.
When you stand up, gravitypulls the blood down. This causesblood to pool in the lower half of ourbodies and blood pressure to drop.If it drops enough, you’ll havesymptoms. Sensors in your majorarteries signal your brain that yourblood pressure has dropped. In re-sponse, the brain tells the heart tobeat a little faster and stronger andblood vessels to constrict, whichraises blood pressure. As a result,blood pressure and blood flow re-turn more or less to normal.
But with age and certain med-ical conditions, these compensa-tions may falter. The heart doesn’tpump as well. Blood vessels getstiffer and less responsive. The sen-sors in the arteries become less sen-sitive, and the signals they sendless effective. As a result, some peo-ple experience sizable drops inblood pressure when they stand up.(I’ve put an illustration on my web-site, AskDoctorK.com.)
Here are some things you shouldtry:
— Take your time standing up.Move gradually from lying down tositting to a standing position. Thisis particularly important at night(when you go to the bathroom) or inthe morning when you awaken.That’s when orthostatic hypoten-sion is most likely.
— Try these maneuvers: Wiggleyour toes and flex your feet beforeyou stand up. This causes the mus-cles in your legs to squeeze moreblood back up into your heart andto slightly raise blood pressure.
— Review your medications withyour doctor and maybe make achange. Some drugs can trigger or-thostatic hypotension or make itworse.
— Lift the head of your bed.Sleeping with your head higherthan your feet keeps blood pressurehigher. This causes your kidneys torelease a hormone that increasesblood pressure.
— Drink more fluids. Dehydra-tion can cause blood pressure todrop.
— Perhaps increase your salt in-take. Unless you have high bloodpressure already, this is a goodidea.
— Drink coffee in the morning.Caffeine boosts blood pressure.
— Exercise more. Improvingyour cardiovascular fitness throughexercise may help the problem goaway.
— Avoid straining. Straining tohave a bowel movement or to passurine (if you have an enlargedprostate) and coughing can causeblood pressure to briefly drop. Evenlaughing very hard can do it. Some-times comedians really do leave theaudience “rolling in the aisles.”When people start to get lighthead-ed from laughing hard, they in-stinctively get down on the floor toavoid falling.
— Wear compression stockings.Special stockings that apply pres-sure on the lower half of the bodycan keep blood from pooling in theleg veins. This, in turn, increasesblood pressure.

STIR IT UP! FISH, FOR COMPLIMENTS
by Marialisa CaltaThe Valley of Mexico, in central Mexico, is
full of lakes, which are full of fish, whichwere harvested and wrapped in stone-groundcorn tortillas by the peoples of ancient civi-lizations: the first fish tacos.
But according to an article in Sunset mag-azine, the fish taco as we know it — a mildwhite fish lightly battered and deep-fried,wrapped in a tortilla also stuffed with shred-ded cabbage and a creamy dressing — did notemerge as a popular dish, even in Mexico, un-til the middle of the 20th century, when itwas reborn in the Mexican state of Baja Cali-fornia.
Just where in Baja the fish taco came fromis up for grabs. The vendors in the mercadoin Ensenada claim credit, as do vendors inthe town of San Felipe on the Sea of Cortes.San Felipe is apparently a gateway to someof the best surfing beaches on the Baja, andvendors there say they made tasty (and af-fordable) fish tacos to feed hungry (andbroke) surfers.
At any rate, we do know that San Felipe isthe home of the recipe that the entrepreneurRalph Rubio extracted from a vendor. Onspring break from San Diego State in 1974,the story goes, Rubio was inspired to invitehis favorite fish-taco purveyor, Carlos, toopen a stand in San Diego. Carlos told Rubiohe did not want to leave Mexico, but insteadgave the young American the basic outline ofhis recipe.
The rest, as they say, is history: Rubio isnow the owner of the multimillion-dollarWest Coast restaurant chain that bears hisname, and the fish taco is on restaurantmenus not just at Rubio’s but around thecountry.
As for Carlos: According to the Sunset arti-cle, Rubio tried to track him down to thankhim and share some of the wealth, but thevendor had moved to parts unknown.
Perhaps if I had eaten fish tacos while sip-ping Coronas on a surfing spring break in theBaja, I would be a fan. But my experiencehas been with soggy, greasy fish wrapped insub-par tortillas at mediocre Mexican-ishrestaurants.
That’s why I was excited to find this deli-cious version in “The Dinner Survival Cook-book” by Debra Ponzek (Running Press,2013). These lovely-to-look-at, delicious andsimple tacos work for any night of the week.The fish — salmon instead of cod or otherwhite fish — is a palate pleaser, and the factthat the fish is quickly sauteed instead ofdeep-fried adds to its fresh appeal.
Note: According to the Rubio restaurantwebsite, the chain uses only certified sustain-able seafood, as should we all. Look for fishmarked as certified by the Marine Steward-ship Council (for wild-caught fish) or theGlobal Aquaculture Alliance (for farmedfish). To learn more about sustainableseafood, check out the Monterey Bay Aquari-um’s “Seafood Watch” program, online atwww.montereybayaquarium.org.
SOUTHWESTERN SALMON TACOSWITH AVOCADO SALSAYield: 8 tacos, or 4 servings
For the dressing:1/2 cup sour cream1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce,minced (sold in the Mexican aisle of most su-
permarkets)2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from the can)Kosher saltFor the salsa:2 avocados2 tomatoes, cored and diced1/2 cup finely diced red onion1/4 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantroJuice of 1 lemon or 2 limesKosher salt and freshly ground black pepperFor the fish:4 (5- to 6-ounce) salmon filletsKosher salt and freshly ground black pepper1/4 cup canola oilFor assembly:Eight (6-inch) flour tortillas Cilantro leaves for garnishLemon or lime wedges
Make the dressing: Stir together thesour cream, chipotle pepper and adobo sauceand mix well. Season to taste with salt. Coverand refrigerate until needed.
Make the salsa: Cut each avocado in halflengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop theflesh from the shell and dice it. Toss with thetomato, onion, cilantro and lemon (or lime)juice. Stir to mix and season to taste with saltand pepper. Set aside.
Cook the fish: Season the salmon filletswith salt and pepper. In a medium skillet,heat the oil until smoking over medium-highheat and cook the salmon, fleshy sides down,for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the otherside, 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through.Transfer to a platter to cool slightly.
Assemble the tacos: Spoon heaping ta-blespoons of the avocado salsa onto each flourtortilla. Gently flake each salmon fillet withyour fingers or a fork. Top the salsa withflaked salmon, drizzle on some dressing andsprinkle with cilantro leaves. Serve immedi-ately with lemon or lime wedges on the side.

Algebra is HardAlgebra is a major stumbling
block for many high school stu-dents. Some point to algebra asa leading cause of dropping outof high school. Others havegone so far as to suggest alge-bra be dropped from the highschool curriculum. Algebra isthe subject that requires thehighest level of remediation atthe college level.
I have taught math in publicand private schools in threestates at the high school andcommunity college level for 24years. For most of those yearsbeginning algebra has beenpart of my teaching load.
Beginning algebra, usuallyoffered in ninth grade, is ar-guably the most importantmath course a student willtake. If not mastered, all subse-quent math courses becomevery difficult and the likelihoodof an ACT test score highenough to avoid remediation incollege is improbable.
Most high school math teach-ers would rather not teachninth grade Algebra 1. Manymath teachers cannot wait un-til they gain enough experienceto request higher level mathcourses. New teachers are al-most always assigned Algebra1. So we often have the least ex-
perienced and poorest qualifiedteachers teaching perhaps themost important high schoolmath course.
Why don’t teachers want toteach Algebra 1? In my opinion,a major reason is that a typicalAlgebra 1 class contains such awide of skill and ability levelsthat it is nearly impossible for ateacher to successfully reach allstudents.
Why is there such a widerange of skill levels? There isenormous pressure on teachersand principals to pass studentson to the next grade level re-gardless of mastery of the sub-ject. I once discussed with myprincipal my frustration thathalf of my Algebra 1 studentshad D’s or F’s. He asked me togive him the list of names. Hethen told me he wasn’t sur-prised because most of thenamed students had failedeighth grade math, and somehad also failed seventh andsixth grade math!
The burden is then placed onthe teacher to catch up all ofthose behind and motivate thehigh achievers with a fad called“differentiated instruction.”Many so-called education lead-ers can tell you about the de-tails and merits of differentiat-ed instruction but I have yet to
find one who will show me amath class where it is success-fully employed. Differentiatedinstruction is worse than a fad,it is a myth. Wouldn’t it makemore sense to group studentsby their skill level? The prob-lem is that this type of group-ing is frowned upon in the cur-rent education climate.
Many students are pushedthrough despite lacking prereq-uisite skills. But why haven’tthey picked up these skills? Myopinion is that calculator use inthe early elementary gradeshas led to a lack of numbersense and an inability to per-form simple arithmetic opera-tions mentally. If a studentdoesn’t know the multiplicationtable or can’t divide or workwith fractions, it is very diffi-cult to master the beginning al-gebra tasks of factoring or di-viding polynomials.
In teaching College Algebraat the community college I’venoticed many students reachfor their calculator to multiplyone digit numbers such as eighttimes six. Why can’t studentsdo this mentally? Educationtheory today shuns anythingviewed as “rote learning” or in-volving memorization. Thetrend is to emphasize “concep-tual learning”. The problem is
what can a student conceptual-ize about if he hasn’t accumu-lated any factual knowledge?
So students don’t learn basicarithmetic facts. This con-tributes to problems with be-ginning algebra. So why wouldthings improve in higher levelmath courses? Most of the stu-dents who repeatedly fail Alge-bra 1 are usually failing othercourses and drop out prior toenrolling in any higher levelmath courses. Most of the seri-ous behavior problems havebeen sent to alternative schoolsor have dropped out before suc-cessfully completing Algebra 1.So Geometry, Algebra 2, Ad-vanced Math, etc., while notproblem free, do not present therange and depth of problemsthat today’s Algebra 1 classesdo. This is why school systemsthroughout the country arelooking for Algebra 1 teachers.Would you like to give it a try?They’ll take almost anyone.
Perhaps the new CommonCore curriculum will deal withsome of the preparation prob-lems, but only school districtscan decide if they want to dealwith the problems associatedwith social promotion.Guy BaxterPatterson, LA 70392
