Lightning strikes DuPont

By Tommy Mann Jr. The Orange Leader Flames and smoke continue to billow into the sky as DuPont Sabine River Works continues to bring its co-generation plant back online following an outage Tuesday. According to Aaron Woods, spokesperson for DuPont Sabine River Works in Orange, the co-generation plant experienced an outage at approximately 4 a.m., Tuesday. The outage is reportedly the result of a lightning strike from the storm system which rolled through the area in the early morning hours bringing much needed rain to the area. There is no shelter in place or health impacts to the surrounding community, Woods said in a telephone interview. The flames, which are visible, destroy any of the dangerous products. The co-generation plant supplies electricity and steam to the facility. Woods said Entergy is currently supplying the electricity to the facility, but without steam you get the black smoke. We are working to restore the co-generation plant as soon as possible, he said.

Officer paints picture of events leading to murder

By David Ball The Orange Leader Det. Sgt. Paul Arceneaux of the Orange Police Department spent most of Tuesday morning testifying in the Michael Mickey McNamara capital murder trial, held in Judge Buddie Hahns 260th District Courtroom. Joseph Edward Roberts Jr., 21, is accused of the beating death of McNamara in his insurance office on Roberts Wednesday, April 21, 2010. First Officer J.E. Baggett of the OPD set the stage with his testimony Baggett said he allegedly stopped Eric Roberts, Joseph Roberts brother, on December 9, 2009, walking south in the 410 block of Green Avenue carrying a baseball bat wrapped in black electrical tape as a club. It was discovered Eric Roberts had a warrant from the Orange County Sheriff s Office for theft and he was taken into custody to the Orange County Jail. The bat was eventually released and Baggett took it back to Eric Roberts home at 111 Pine. He gave the bat to a relative of Roberts. Det. Sgt. Robert Estrello told Baggett that baseball bat may be the possible weapon the OPD was looking for after the crime at McNamara Insurance. Arceneaux said shortly after April 21, 2010, he went to Joseph Roberts place of employment at Sonic to inquire about the bat. Roberts said he hadnt seen the bat since the previous Sunday. Arceneaux told him to call him when he finds it. He stressed to Roberts the importance of finding the bat. Arceneaux testified he went to Sonic again the next day to talk to Roberts and asked him to come to the Orange Police Station to talk about the bat. The police allegedly noticed Roberts shoe soles had a diamondshaped pattern like those found at the crime scene after he arrived at the station. Roberts told Arceneaux he was at home the time of the crime at 1:30 p.m. He became more nervous and the details of his account changed, Arceneaux said. He then reportedly confessed to the crime when he was questioned. Roberts completed a written statement and he was told his rights by Arceneaux which he waived. Testimony reported Tuesday revealed Roberts was looking for money to buy drugs but he needed the money the purchase. Testimony See TRIAL, Page 3A

Brady updates Rotarians on U.S. budget concerns

By Tommy Mann Jr. The Orange Leader U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (Texas - 8th District) traveled to Orange on Tuesday to update business owners and community leaders on U.S. House of Representatives Path to Prosperity. Brady spoke Tuesday afternoon at the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Orange at Sunset Grove Country Club and offered information on a House Budget Committee Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Resolution known as The Path to Prosperity. Brady and members of the House passed 2012 budget which cuts approximately $6.2 trillion in spending over the next decade, while saving Medicare and Social Security for future generations and protecting it for those who are ages 55 and older at this time. We dont have a revenue problem (in America), we have a spending problem, Brady said to those in attendance. The goal of our budget is to pay off all of our debt as a nation. Its a long term goal, and it wont happen overnight. Brady used a Powerpoint presentation for reinforcement. According to Brady, the U.S. debt has increased by $3.5 trillion in the past two years and by $5.45 trillion in the past four years. A child born in Orange County today would owe $46,000 of their share of the debt, he added. We could double everyones taxes in America and still be in a deficit. According to information provided by Brady, the House of Representatives have reduced Congressional budgets by five percent and are advocating for more. The House has also saved $617 million by eliminating federal funding for Presidential campaigns, while saving another $215 million by eliminating wasteful printing costs in Congress and the Department of Defense. The House also blocked another $40 billion in funding for wasteful and ineffective housing-related programs, and cut spending by $16 billion by repealing an ObamaCare slush fund. Brady said key facts of the 2012 House Republican Budget cuts government spending by $6.2 trillion over the next 10 years, while eliminating hundreds of

Perry warns disaster could blow hole in budget

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) With massive wildfires taking a toll on a strapped state budget, Gov. Rick Perry warned Tuesday that another natural disaster could leave the state "bankrupt" unless lawmakers show fiscal restraint. Because of those financial threats, the Republican governor said it would be irresponsible for the Legislature to use money out of the so-called Rainy Day Fund to soften the blow from staggering budget cuts proposed by state lawmakers. A Senate proposal would take $3 billion out of the reserve account, fattened with oil tax money, to cut less from nursing homes, public education and other core state programs. Perry made it clear that he was dead set against the idea. Speaking to reporters outside the Texas House Tuesday, he said it would be unwise to use money for a "short-term need" at a time when "nobody knows what the future is going to be." "If we had a major Category 5 storm that went into Corpus Christi or to Beaumont or to Houston, and we didn't have those dollars to leverage against those losses, we would be bankrupt," 'Perry said. "And I'm not willing to do that." Perry said he was "worried" about the depth of the proposed state budget reductions but described the cuts-only approach as preferable to depleting cash reserves. The governor was asked about state projections showing the Rainy Day Fund would grow to as high as $12 billion by the end of 2013. Perry said he had no faith in those numbers or the non-partisan agency that produced them. AP photo Perry said the Legislative Budget Board, composed most- Texas Gov.

given also said a dealer told Roberts about Joyce Cross working alone at McNamara Insurance. The dealer also gave Roberts the blue jacket and Barack Obama ball cap he wore on April 21, according to Arceneauxs testimony. According to testimony and police reports, Roberts entered the insurance agency and stole $100 from Cross and then said Cross asked him why he wasnt wearing a mask and the question made him mad. Arceneaux said, however, Roberts story was inconsistent. Upon research, Arceneaux discovered there was no evidence Roberts went to a casino the night before. By that time Roberts was in custody at the Orange County Jail and questioned the next day. Arceneauxs testimony said Roberts told Arceneaux he spent the entire paycheck at the casino. He would have to make some quick money in order to pay his mother money as he had been doing on a regular basis. Points made during Arceneauxs testimony included: Roberts would get the bat to scare people into giving him money. He told others at first he needed the bat to fight off dogs. Roberts admitted Nettle had nothing to do with the crime and he didnt give him the jacket or cap. Roberts found the jacket on a fence and the cap at the washateria on 16th Street across from Krogers. Roberts thought about robbing people at the washateria but there were too many cars there. He then remembered the lady working alone at
McNamaras. He went to The Capistrano before going to the insurance agency for a drink of water because he said he was nervous. Roberts added he forgot to take off the plastic bags he was wearing as gloves in the bar. He told the bartender he was wearing them because he was doing yard work. The plastic cup was later found on the railroad track nearby. The suspect went into McNamaras and took the money. He told Cross she knew what he looked like and she would call the police, so he hit her. Roberts was exiting the rear door of the business when McNamara was entering in through the rear door. He told McNamara he was a friend of Cross and said he needed a glass of water. McNamara saw Cross lying on the floor and Roberts said he had to knock him unconscious to get away. He ran to an abandoned building behind the agency where the bat was located. He discarded the plastic bags at the old train depot and he put the jacket and cap in a garbage can at 1106 Pine Street. All of the evidence was recovered. Still, there was no evidence Roberts went to a casino. Nettle later testified and said Roberts came by his house at 3 a.m. the night before. Nettle said Roberts was smoking crack and later asked him to hook him up with a girl. Nettle testified he arranged for his aunt, Bertha Gerald, 48, to have sex with Roberts for money. He also smoked about $150 worth of crack cocaine that night, according to Nettle Most of the mornings testimony centered
around events recorded by video surveillance from nearby businesses, crime scene photographs and evidence collected. Much of the afternoon testimony was about DNA testing and the collection of evidence and preserving it from tampering. Dr. Tommy Brown, a forensic pathologist for the Jefferson County Regional Crime Lab, performed the autopsy of McNamara. He defined an autopsy as the external and internal examination of the body to determine the cause of death. He added he has performed over 15,000 autopsies. Externally, Brown detailed McNamara had a number of blows to the forehead, to the top of the head and behind his ears. He also had a bruised upper back and a bruised right hand and left elbow. Internally, there was a large amount of hemorrhaging to the rib cage. Brown said ordinarily he has to use a saw to open the skull, but McNamara skull was so badly shattered, he could peel the skin away to get to the brain. Brown testified McNamara had blood behind the eyes called raccoon eyes and lacerations on the inside of the brain. Autopsy photos were shown to the jury and to the audience. Brown said McNamara either received five blows to the skull, or it could had been one devastating blow. The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, consistent with being hit on the head with a baseball bat. The state rested their case at 3:12 p.m. Closing arguments and deliberations will begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

five years, he said. There should be no sacred cows in our budget. Im not going to vote to raise our debt ceiling unless we change our spending behavior. This plan also looks to address taxes by keeping taxes low so the economy can grow, while calling for a simpler and less burdensome tax code. It would also lower tax rates for individuals, families and businesses. Some have called for cutting foreign aid and earmarks, but projections show that equals only 2.11 percent of the total $3.5 trillion spent in 2010. Brady said he and his fellow representatives want their constituents to send them ideas on more spending cuts, as well as letters from doctors who have opted out of Medicare.

WO-C CISD bond issue has ideal timing for voters

By The Orange Leader editorial staff Voters should support the West Orange-Cove CISD bond initiative on May 14 which will allow the district to grab a time-sensitive $6.075 million in Qualified School Construction Bond funds. The district will receive an extremely low interest rate of 0.025 percent and a 15-year term. This will add very little to debt retirement costs. Both the timing and needs are critical. This federal money must be secured by June, or as Superintendent James Colbert said, its gone forever. Its low interest funding for much needed repairs. The need for the bond issue is obvious. The mens restroom at Dan R. Hooks Stadium is the classic case of seeing something and not believing your eyes. The mens restroom lacks urinals and other basic bathroom facilities. The famous pee wall must go. The Dan R. Hooks Stadium track is in such disrepair its surprising the Mustangs are back-to-back state champions who could add a third title this year. WO-S track athletes cannot practice on their own track. The Mustangs Relays have been held at Orangefield High School. Its time to correct this situation. But this bond is not just for athletics. Students at the new West Orange-Stark Elementary would gain playground equipment. Kids need a safe place to play outside of the classroom and gym. Additional repairs to air conditioning, Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and administration office remodeling are all within reason. Students, parents and the community will all benefit from upgraded faculties. We encourage voters to attend Thursdays town hall meeting at 6 p.m. in the Carl Godwin Auditorium on Western Avenue. Then, vote to support the bond in the May general election.
Hey caller, where's the fire?

A friend of mine who works at the firehouse is great. He's a stand-up guy, ex-military, highly trained, dedicated, hard-working and about to go insane. "I got in trouble with the higher-ups the other day for being rude to the public. Someone called and said, 'There's a deer in my backyard.' I said, 'Is it on fire?' and the guy said, 'No,' so I said, 'Then why are you calling the fire department?' "You wouldn't believe the silly calls we get. One guy phoned to say he had a broken water pipe in his basement. So I asked him: 'Is the pipe on fire? No? Then why are you calling the fire department? Call a plumber.'" My friend has a theory that he gets all these calls because no one can do anything for themselves anymore. As a society we have become lazy and dependant, more like pets than people. I told him that I'm sure fire departments probably started getting nonemergency phones calls the day after they first got phones installed, hundreds of years ago. Didn't we all grow up

The Village Idiot seeing cartoons and advertisements showing heroic firefighters rescuing cats from trees? I don't want him to ask a crying child "Is the cat on fire?" Anyone who deals with the public can tell you stories that will make you wonder how our species survived but the dinosaurs didn't. National-park employees tell stories of visitors to the Grand Canyon who ask what time they turn on the lights at night and where are the escalators to the bottom. Rangers in the Everglades tell of finding a woman sunbathing on a deserted -- but alligator-frequented -island, with nothing but a bottle of suntan lotion to ward off the hungry carnivores. "Didn't you see the warnings signs?" they asked.

"Yes," she said, "But I didn't think they meant me." I know a professional photographer who works for advertising agencies and catalogs in Manhattan, and when we were young and just starting out, he built a portfolio of different photographs he had taken to show clients what he could do. This was long before Photoshop could change any photo to look slick and professional. Daniel would spend days setting up shots of what they used to call "tabletop" photography: stills of hamburgers with just the right amount of lettuce peeking out from under the bun, a sliver of ketchup visible, the meat glistening -- all things that are impossible to achieve with a real hamburger under hot, withering lights. The lettuce wilts, grease drips from the meat and stains everything it touches, the ketchup runs. So the lettuce is really plastic, and the meat is dried and sprayed with silicon.

Daniel had to have the best cameras, the best lights, the most expensive film and a large Manhattan workspace. It was a huge investment for a man with no clients. All day long, he or his agent would drop off his portfolio of pictures off to art directors at magazines and advertising agencies, trying to get work. One day a big ad agency called him back. He was thrilled. The art director flipped through his book of pictures while Daniel watched. Finally the guy stopped at the picture of the hamburger. He hits the button on his desk and asks the account manager to come in. They both stare at the hamburger for a while. Finally, the account manager turns to the art director and says, "Sure, he can shoot a McDonald's hamburger, but can he shoot a Wendy's hamburger?" Maybe if it's on fire.

TxDot launches motorcycle safety campaign
Special to The Leader AUSTIN In preparation for Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month beginning May 1, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has launched a statewide Share the Road motorcycle safety and public awareness campaign (www.looklearnlive.org) to urge motorists to look twice for motorcycles at intersections and when changing lanes, the two places where serious motorcycle collisions commonly occur. Motorcyclists are dying in record numbers. In 2009, 434 motorcyclists were killed, accounting for 14 percent of the states traffic deaths. Researchers point to the fact that the number of motorcycles on Texas roadways has more than doubled to 424,218 in the last decade. Because motorcycles have a much smaller profile than other vehicles, it can be difficult for drivers to judge the speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle. As a result, drivers involved in crashes with motorcycles say they never saw the motorcyclist and were unable to react in time to prevent the crash. We know that 66 percent of motorcycle crashes result in death or serious injury for the motorcyclist, said Carol Rawson, TxDOTs Traffic Operations Director. As more and more people turn to motor-

cycles for affordable transportation and recreation, its more important than ever to remind drivers to look twice for motorcycles. Seeing them is saving them is the theme of TxDOTs new campaign, which uses TV and radio commercials and billboards to drive home the new safety message. TxDOT offers these tips on how to better see and accommodate motorcyclists on the road: Do a Double Take: Look twice for motorcyclists at intersections, where they may be making a left turn, as well as on the highway, where a motorcyclist may be changing lanes. Clearly signal your intentions. Be Respectful: Remember, a
motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any vehicle on the roadway. Give Them Space: Don't follow a motorcycle too closely. A motorcyclist's riding patterns are different from vehicle patterns, and reactions may vary for the same road or weather conditions. Allow a full lane of travel space between your car or truck and a motorcycle. Anticipate Next Steps: Obstructions that you do not notice could prove to be deadly for a motorcyclist. Give motorcyclists plenty of space to react and make the road a safe place for you and others, no matter what form of transportation they use.

Refinery warnings way of life in Texas City

TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) The sirens from the nearby BP refinery were wailing in Dwight Crawford's neighborhood and he could see the glow from burning flares at the plant. Crawford, a retired carpenter, said he knew "something messed up" was going on there. Then, the 66-year-old said, he went to sleep. "It's just a hazard of living close to this plant," he said Tuesday, taking a moment while sipping coffee and reading the newspaper at a table in front of his home. The BP refinery, where 15 people were killed and 170 were hurt in an explosion six years ago, was among at least four plants in the city about 35 miles southeast of Houston that lost power overnight Monday and into Tuesday. Officials were working to determine what caused the outages, which Texas New Mexico Power said involved a "customerowned equipment problem." BP , Valero, Dow Chemical and Marathon Oil all halted production and lit up the night sky even more than usual by burning off excess gas as a precaution to deter any pressure buildup and explosion. Emergency preparedness authorities advised people to remain inside, once late Monday night and again before dawn Tuesday. Schools were closed or had delayed openings and some roads near the plants were blocked to traffic. Residents were told they could go outside again about noon Tuesday, after officials determined that the power outages did not cause the release of unhealthy amounts of harmful gases. Crawford, who has lived in Texas City for 40 years, says the precautionary "shelter-inplace" recommendations happen all the time. "I'm going to try to stay inside but I do have to go about my daily routine," he said. "I can't let the plant shut me down. You can't let the plant overrun your life." The chemical smell that permeates the area normally was a bit more pungent Tuesday. "There was constant monitoring going on at all times and it did not reveal anything, although there's a strong smell of hydrocarbons in the air," said Bruce Clawson, the Homeland Security coordinator for Texas City. Clawson said he didn't know what could have been detected but none of the monitors showed hazardous emissions.

Suspect arrested in bomb left at Colorado mall
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) A man suspected of leaving a pipe bomb and two propane tanks at a Denver-area shopping mall was arrested Tuesday after being spotted drinking coffee at a supermarket about 30 miles away, authorities said. Earl Albert Moore Moore, 65, was taken into custody by the FBI and was due to make his first court appearance Wednesday. The explosives were discovered on the 12th anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings at a shopping center just two miles from the school, initially raising concerns that the apparent attempted bombing might be connected somehow to the shootings. But at a brief news conference Tuesday, Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink repeated investigators' belief that the incident wasn't related to Columbine. Representatives from the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were also present at the news conference, but they and Mink refused to take questions. That left one of the biggest mysteries in the case the motive behind the bomb unresolved. Investigators have said they found a motive, but they have not discussed it publicly. Authorities have been searching for him since the explosives were discovered following a fire on April 20 at the Southwest Plaza Mall in the south Denver suburbs. The bomb and tanks were found after a fire in a hallway at the mall's food court, but they didn't detonate. No injuries were reported. The FBI on Sunday alerted field offices covering all 50 states and Puerto Rico to be on the lookout for Moore, who had been released from prison a week before the mall fire. Surveillance video showed images of him in the mall and on a bus. Moore was captured after a shopper saw him at a Starbucks inside a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, said Kelli McGannon, a spokeswoman for the supermarket chain. The shopper called 911 after alerting a store manager. McGannon said a police officer inside the store began watching Moore, but it wasn't clear if he had identified Moore or was reacting to the 911 call. Moore was in the store for about an hour, she said. Moore left through a side door, possibly suspecting he was being watched, McGannon said. He was arrested outside by officers responding to the 911 call. He didn't resist arrest and the officers didn't pull their guns, police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said. Police and store security searched the supermarket after Moore's arrest and said they didn't find anything suspicious. After the fire at the mall, authorities noted that the times of the fire and the Columbine shootings were similar, as was the use of a pipe bomb and propane tanks, which the teen gunmen in the Columbine attempted to use in the 1999 attack that killed 12 students and a teacher. Moore has an extensive criminal record.

Facebook launches deals program

(AP) What happens when you cross the world's largest social network with one of the hottest business models in e-commerce? Facebook wants to find out. Facebook is launching a deals program Tuesday in five U.S. cities, following on the popularity of Groupon and other services that offer deep discounts for example: $50 worth of food at a local eatery for $25. By allowing small businesses to leverage the Internet while helping consumers score great deals, these groupcouponing services have become some of the fastest-growing businesses in the world. Facebook now wants a part of that. It hopes to exploit its existing networks of friends and family when it begins testing offers in San Diego, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas and Austin, Texas. Many deals sites have a social component. For instance, if you get three friends to buy a LivingSocial voucher, yours is free. Groupon's offers become valid only after a certain number of people purchase them. But the deals are circulated to users through email, and the community aspect is secondary. Facebook is hoping to change that. "We're building a product that is social from the ground up," says Emily White, director of local for Facebook. "All of these deals are things you want to do with friends, so no teeth whitening, but yes to river rafting." Starting Tuesday, when Facebook users in the five test markets log in to the site, they will see a deals insignia at the bottom of the page. (The dashboard pops up automatically if the "current city" listed in your profile is one of the five included in the pilot.) Clicking on it brings up a list of currently available offers. A user can buy one, click the "like" button to recommend it to others or share the offer with friends through Facebook's private messaging system. When users purchase or "like" a deal, it shows up in their friends' news feed. That means "the discovery of the product can happen in lots of different places," White says. To get the program started, Facebook has enlisted 11 companies that already supply deals elsewhere. Restaurant reservation service OpenTable will broadcast offers for local eateries, while online ticket seller Viagogo will market events.

the Lady Pirates were 12-0 in 24-2A play. The two schools have put together a nice little warmup game later in the week as the Lady Pirates will visit Bridge City Friday for a 5:30 p.m. tilt. Action in our area baseball district are far from over as far as playoff seedings go with one game left in the regular season. In District 20-4A, Nederland has already wrapped up the crown with a 12-1 mark. Things get interesting after that. LC-M (9-4) currently sits in second-place and has clinched a playoff berth. Both Livingston (8-5) and Port Neches-Groves (8-5) are just one game behind while Vidor (7-6) is just one spot behind those two. IF LC-M defeats Nederland at home Friday, the Bears will go in the playoffs as the No. 2 seed. If the Bears fall to Nederland and PN-G downs last-place Beaumont Central, both teams are tied for the second spot. A PN-G win over Central will seal a playoff spot for the Indians. Livingston will visit Vidor Friday. A Vidor win would force a fourth-place tie with the Lions. A PN-G loss to Central and a Vidor win over Livingston would create a three-way tie for third-place. The District 21-3A standings are just as whacky. Bridge City (7-2) sits atop the standings with Hamshire-Fannett (6-3) and Silsbee (6-3) tied for second while Orangefield (5-4) remains alive a game back in fourth. Bridge City can clinch the title outright if the Cardinals win on the road at Orangefield. Meanwhile, Silsbee visits Hamshire-Fannett. The winner of the Silsbee-H-F game would automatically clinch at least a playoff spot. IF Bridge City falter to Orangefield, the SilsbeeH-F winner will tie Bridge City for the top spot. Orangefield will remain alive if the Bobcats top Bridge City. The Bobcats would then be tied for third with the loser of the Silsbee-H-F game.
Ali, Elvis photos tell iconic stories

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) In a culture saturated with celebrity magazines, paparazzi and red carpets, its hard to imagine capturing an image of a young Elvis Presley alone on the sidewalk in New York. Or a picture of Muhammad Ali at play with neighborhood kids in a parking lot. No screaming fans, no camera flashes, no entourages. These unguarded moments are among dozens featured in Ali and Elvis: American Icons, a pair of photography exhibits sharing gallery space through May 15 at the James A. Michener Museum in Doylestown, Pa., about 25 miles north of Philadelphia. This is the first time the exhibits have been displayed together. The Smithsonian-curated Elvis at 21 show offers a glimpse into Presleys life just as his star begins to rise. Needing publicity photos, Presleys record company hired photographer Alfred Wertheimer in 1956 to shadow the rock-nroll prince who would become The King. Wertheimer had extraordinary access, said Smithsonian project director Marquette Folley. After this year, 1956, no one can ever get this close again, Folley said. The walls go up. The images of Ali, taken by multiple photographers, chronicle his years from teen boxer to his reign as The Greatest to a beloved figure battling Parkinsons disease. They were first displayed at a Hofstra University symposium on Ali in 2008. Putting the exhibits together was simply an effort to take a broader look at the concepts of fame and the making of

Mavs in control of Blazers again Grizzlies have

DALLAS (AP) Tyson Chandler is the active, energetic big man the Dallas Mavericks have never had before. Hes also a pretty good strategist. Knowing the season was basically on the line in Game 5 of their first-round series against Portland, Chandler went to coach Rick Carlisle on Monday morning with a suggestion. Instead of always playing on the weak side of the offense, he wanted to move around to try getting more involved and to have a better chance at grabbing rebounds. Go for it, Carlisle said. Chandler wound up with 14 points and 20 rebounds, but his most important contribution mightve been setting the aggressive, exciting tone the Mavericks needed to bounce back from a devastating loss and beat the Trail Blazers 93-82. Dallas leads the series 3-2, with two days to rest up before trying to close things out in Game 6 on Thursday night in Portland. Hes got to be active for us, and he knows that, Mavs star Dirk Nowitzki said. Hyping the crowd, being vocal in the huddle. Thats what hes been doing for us all year long. If he keeps playing like that, with energy, well be OK. The Mavs were fresh off blowing a 23-point lead over the final 14 minutes of Game 4. Instead of having the Trail Blazers on the brink of elimination, theyd given the No. 7 seed new hope of pulling off the upset. Carlisle called it a must-win, a nod to Dallas being 0-4 in Portland this season and to the club having lost eight straight playoff road games. Between Chandlers new role and a healthy use of a zone defense, the Mavs again found themselves up by double-digits early in the fourth quarter. Only this time they were able to protect it, forcing 10 straight misses and playing smart on offense. Although Dallas shooting touch was off the Mavs missed their first 10 3point tries of the second half they got to the foul line and won the rebounding battle. Dallas not only outrebounded its taller foe 4937, the Mavs grabbed a whopping 20 offensive rebounds. Chandler had 13, and swatted several more to guards near midcourt. His offensive boards were the most ever by a Dallas player in the playoffs and the most for anyone in the playoffs since Shaquille ONeal had 14 in 1995. They played like they wanted it more than we did, said Portlands Brandon Roy, who went from scoring 24 points in Game 4 to just five in 26 minutes. They played harder than we did. I thought they played a little tougher than in the first four games. They had more of a sense of urgency. Now its our turn to show that same sense of urgency. Nowitzki led Dallas with 25 points, 11 coming in the third quarter, when the Mavericks broke open a tight game with a 15-5 run. Still, everyone was waiting to see whether they could protect it this time. Chandler made sure of it. He had seven rebounds in the final period, including one that resulted in a layup by J.J. Barea that put Dallas up by 17 and prompted the Blazers to call time out. As the home crowd stood and roared in approval, Chandler walked to the bench with a huge smile, nodding his head and rocking his shoulders. Coming out tonight, I knew my team would need me, he said. After a bad loss, a lot of times it can carry over. Tonight, I wanted to bring energy and hope my teammates would feed off it, and they did.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Whatever Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said to his team at halftime worked very, very well. The eighth-seeded Grizzlies outscored San Antonio 30-15 in the third quarter, turning a 2-point halftime deficit into a 10486 rout Monday night of the Spurs for a commanding 3-1 lead in their opening series. It was an incredible performance in the third and fourth quarter, Hollins said. We outscored them 30-15 and from the second quarter on, our defense just kept getting better and better. San Antonio led 50-48 at halftime, and Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo said Hollins lit such a fire in his team with telling them exactly what he wanted them to do that they couldnt wait to get onto the court. Were not playing too well in so many words, Mayo said. Thats the clean version. And we need to get it together, and play with a lot of energy and play like were a desperate team. All year hes been preaching that the desperate team usually wins, and we didnt look very desperate that first half. Mike Conley had 15 points and seven assists. Darrell Arthur added 14 points off the bench for Memphis. Tony Allen had 12, Randolph and Mayo 11 apiece. These are the same Spurs that won 61 games in the regular season. They opened up very energetic, shooting well and even had their first halftime lead in this series. They finished the game with their starters on the bench for the final 5:43 with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich trying to rest them for Game 5 on Wednesday night in San Antonio. Tony Parker led the Spurs with 23 points and Manu Ginobili had 14. adoring local children. It ends with pictures of Ali the celebrity and humanitarian, lighting the Olympic torch in Atlanta and receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Curator Hava Gurevich said the power of the 50image show lies in its combination of fine art, documentary and news photography. Its like a kaleidoscopic view of Muhammad Alis life, Gurevich said. Peterson, the Michener curator, said he didnt find out until after booking them that Presley and Ali had actually crossed paths. Elvis visited Alis training camp in Pennsylvanias Pocono Mountains and gave him a rhinestone cape; Ali gave The King an autographed pair of gold boxing gloves. I cant say it was part of our grand plan, Peterson said. (But) it made us feel we were kind of on the right track. The next stop for Elvis at 21 is the William J. Clinton museum in Little Rock, Ark. The next stop for Muhammad Ali: The Making of an Icon is the Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center in Lake Charles, La. If You Go... ALI AND ELVIS: AMERICAN ICONS: Runs through May 15 at the James A. Michener Museum, 138 S. Pine St., Doylestown, Pa. Tickets are $12.50.

Islam. Wertheimers 56 images most enlarged to 3-by-4foot prints capture Presleys electrifying stage persona but also his more intimate moments: standing in solitude in front of New Yorks Warwick Hotel; sprawling on a couch reading fan mail; and interacting with his family. Wertheimer also chronicles one summer week that found the American idol rehearsing alone at a piano for an appearance on Steve Allens show in New York, kissing a giddy fan backstage in Richmond, Va., and splashing in his swimming pool at home in Memphis, Tenn. I was basically putting Elvis under my microscope, Wertheimer, now 81, told The Associated Press. He permitted closeness. The bulk of Muhammad Ali: The Making of an Icon features shots of the heavyweight champ in and around the ring: training in Miami; absorbing blows from George Foreman in Zaire; and looming over a floored Sonny Liston in Neil Leifers famous frame from 1965. But the exhibit starts with less familiar and more personal images from when Ali was known as Cassius Clay shadowboxing with his family, preening in front of a mirror and riding a bike with

Earnings drive stocks to new 2011 highs

NEW YORK (AP) Stocks jumped to their highest levels in nearly three years Tuesday thanks to signs that earnings are rising for U.S. companies and consumers are feeling more confident about the economy. The Russell 2000, the benchmark index of small companies, neared a record high. The new highs continue a historic recovery in the stock market. Stock indexes have more than doubled since hitting a 12-year low in March, 2009. The fastest bull market since the 1950s has now erased most of the losses stemming from the financial crisis. Investors who bought at the top of the market in 2007 have now lost 4.2 percent, including reinvested dividends. Analysts predict stocks will continue to rise if unemployment keeps falling and global demand leads to more profit growth. The Standard and Poor's 500 index the benchmark for most mutual funds reached its highest level since June 2008. It gained 11.99 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,347.24. It's still 16 percent below the record high of 1,565 it reached in October 2007.
The Dow Jones industrial average also marked a new high for the year, rising 115.49 points, or 0.9 percent, to 12,595.37. The Nasdaq composite rose 21.66 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,847.54. The Russell 2000 rose 1 percent to 853.04, near the record high of 855.77 that it reached in July 2007. Better-than-expected earnings reports from companies ranging from airlines to office products manufacturers helped drive a broad rally that included all 10 company groups that make up the S&P index. tion of the walk.

Reader has questions about prostate procedure

DEAR DR. GOTT: My father is 93 years old. Owing to an enlarged prostate, he is not able to completely empty his bladder. He is feeling no pain and minimal discomfort from this condition. In fact, he feels it is more of a nuisance having to urinate frequently. His urologist recommends GreenLight laser surgery to relieve the problem. He has been told that this condition, if left untreated, could lead to kidney problems and/or a blood infection. He is fearful that the surgery could lead to incontinence. This thought distresses him greatly. What is your opinion of this option for treating his problem? Are there other options he could consider?

Sister looking to hook up needs to wise up first

DEAR ABBY: I recently had a conversation with my married sister that left me speechless. While making plans to visit me for a few days, she asked if I could "hook her up" with any guys. I was shocked. Not only was it awkward, it left me feeling disgusted. If a person is unhappy in his or her marriage, shouldn't the marriage be ended BEFORE looking for someone else? (By the way, my brother-in-law thinks they have a great marriage.) A few days later, my sister informed me that her "boyfriend" had broken things off with her. I am dumbfounded! My sister will be coming to spend some time with me soon, and I'm sure this subject is bound to come up again. How do I handle a situation I find so offensive? -DUMBSTRUCK DOWN SOUTH DEAR DUMBSTRUCK: Handle it by telling your sister exactly what you have written to me. That should get the message across succinctly.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a 15year-old girl with five younger siblings. It's tough to get along with everyone, but my 8-year-old sister, "Annie," is especially difficult. She doesn't get along with anyone. Annie steals constantly. This has been going on since she could walk. She steals jewelry, makeup, toys, books and money. The only way to get these things back is by searching her room. Our relatives say she'll grow out of this, but it happens every day. She destroys and breaks the things she steals -including projects and homework. My parents have tried everything -- taking her things, grounding her, taking away privileges -- yet
DEAR ABBY
DEAR WORRIED SISTER: The behavior you have described could be symptoms of a serious emotional disturbance. It won't be corrected until your parents understand what's driving your sister to steal and lie. If Annie hasn't already been evaluated by her pediatrician and a mental health professional, it should be done as soon as possible. Please show this to your parents. DEAR ABBY: I recently agreed to support my neighbor as she participated in a charity walk for breast cancer. Through a mutual friend I found out that my neighbor rode a free bus for a portion of the 13.1-mile walk. She has since tried to collect the "donation." I have politely declined to pay, due to the circumstances. I feel I am justified since the donation was predicated on her compleIf Shakespeare had been a bridge player, surely he would have written, "An entry! an entry! my kingdom for an entry!" Conserving entries is one of the topics covered fairly early in a bridge career. But less experienced players are sometimes careless because they play too quickly -- as happened in this deal from a private game of Chicago. If you were South, how would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest heart five and East plays the seven? The auction was straightforward, North raising to game in the hope that his club suit would prove useful. You have five top tricks: one spade, two hearts (given the lead) and two diamonds. Clearly you must make the most of dummy's clubs. Suppose you win the first trick with the heart nine, lead the club king (under which West drops the two, his lowest showing an odd number of cards in the suit), and play another

DEAR STICKLER: Is it possible that your neighbor rode the bus a portion of the way because she was unable to make it through the 13.1mile walk? For heaven's sake, it's not as if she would be pocketing the money. Give her the donation in the form of a check made out to the charity. It's for a worthy cause -- and tax-deductible.

Dear Readers: What's not to love about BANANAS? A single? A bunch? In a smoothie, or in bread? How often do you buy bananas? Once a week? Bananas that are extremely ripe (freckled) are sweeter than bananas that have slightly green peels, so pick accordingly. Storing bananas on a banana hanger/hook keeps them from getting bruises. Green bananas can be ripened by placing them in a paper bag. To ripen quickly, add an apple or tomato to the bag, which helps the ripening process. Once the bananas are as ripe as you'd like, you can place them in the fridge for up to two weeks. The skin will darken, but the inside will be firm and tasty. Also, peel them, place in a plastic freezer bag or container, and use later for breads, muffins, other baked goods and yummy smoothies. What's your favorite way to buy, store and use bananas that are too ripe? Send your favorite hints, and we will send a Heloise pamphlet to everyone

club. East will win with his ace and probably shift to the diamond queen. After taking that trick, how can you get into the dummy? You can't! Let's go back to trick one. Your only dummy entry is in hearts, but you must keep two hearts lower than dummy's jack. Win the first trick with your queen (or ace!). Then, knock out the club ace, get in with the diamond ace, and lead a low heart toward the dummy. West will win with his king and play another diamond, but you take the trick, cross to dummy with a heart to the jack, and cash the clubs to end with an overtrick.
DEAR READER: GreenLight vaporization of the prostate is a new, minimally invasive procedure used for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the most common cause of an enlarged prostate. Alaserlight source and fiber-optic delivery system vaporizes and removes enlarged tissue in the prostate, resulting in immediate relief of symptoms. Urinary flow will improve, and a person will be able to empty the bladder with ease. This is a vast improvement over the "gold standard" trans-urethral resection procedure (TURP) with fewer side effects and faster recovery. Total recovery should take a few weeks following surgery. With GreenLight, a patient will arrive at a hospital, have the procedure, which takes less than an hour, and be discharged the same day. It is rather common to return home without catheter insertion. In instances when a catheter is inserted, it is removed within 24 hours. As General Electric once used in their advertising, "Progress is our most important product." This certainly appears to be the case with GreenLight. Research is a phenomenal thing. If a procedure can be done in less time, with less bleeding, less trauma for the patient and faster recovery, I'm all for it. And, at 93, I am sure that your father would agree. DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a 74-year-old female retired radiologic technologist due for my annual screening mammogram in another month. My only significant
DEAR READER: Both methods use X-rays to produce images of the breast. With conventional mammography, information is stored on film that resembles a photograph negative. In the case of digital mammography, information is stored as a computer file. Now, the difference. While numerous "films" may be taken, they cannot be modified. With digitals, that information can be magnified, enhanced or manipulated for evaluation more easily than the information on a film. Through computers, digital images can assist surgeons and radiologists who may be in different locations; fewer follow-up procedures may be necessary for confirmation of suspicious lesions; and there is less radiation exposure. The FDA approved digital mammography in 2000. A large clinical trial comparing digital to film mammography was published and failed to reveal differences in the detection of breast cancer in the women who participated. One interesting conclusion was that digital mammography was more accurate for pre- and perimenopausal women and for women with dense breasts.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You won't have any trouble delegating jobs to others if you first find out that they can handle the tasks. Remember, what comes easy to you doesn't necessarily do so for others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don't listen to others when it comes to a stressful development that could cause serious unrest. Follow your own muse, and things will eventually sort themselves out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - The impression you make on others is usually of a lasting, favorable nature. In fact, your actions and demeanor will actually draw people to you at this juncture.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Now and then you can be quite intuitive, and it might be one of those days, especially with issues that pertain to your material affairs. Follow your gut. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Getting out and mixing with others could be especially advantageous for you. Expressing yourself in friendly ways can benefit you more than usual. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you see that conditions are receptive, plant seeds now if you want to grow and develop a special relationship. Once planted, however, remember to keep tending your garden.

fairs to help deal with sewer inflow and infiltration. Inflow and infiltration is when some of the Districts older sewer lines collect rain water during rain events and allow large amounts of rain water in the Districts sewer system. The District is working hard to repair and replace all of the sewer lines that contribute to this problem. It is estimated that even with all sewer collection lines repaired and replaced the District will still see inflow and infiltration from the private lines that are on your property. Some of these lines are made of clay and allow rain water into the system as well. In an effort to deal with these private lines, the current CDBG grant allows for private line replacement if the property owner meets certain income qualifications. Interested parties must complete an application that will allow the district to determine if you qualify for one of these sewer line replacement grants. If you fill out the application and your line is determined to be contributing to the inflow and infiltration problem, you may qualify. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Johnny Caswell, Superintendent at The WC & ID No.2 (409) 883-4003.
