Officials forecast
impact of West Nile
GREENVILLE — As the weather
warms across South Carolina,
health officials are bracing for an
other round of the WestNile virus.
Less rain this spring could
mean fewer mosquitoes than last
year, which could reduce the risk
of the mosquito-bome virus this
season. But an increasing number
of infected birds and mosquitoes
could mean the virus is becoming
more established in the state.
Those factors make it hard to pre
dict the impact of the virus on
South Carolina this year. :
Seat-belt campaign
uses Internet ads
A group of businesses and or
ganizations trying to curb the
number of people killed on South
Carolina’s roadways has begun an
Internet and newspaper ad cam
paign.
The campaign urges citizens to
ask their state senators to pass a
stronger seat-belt law. The state
Senate is considering a bill that
would give officers the authority
to stop and ticket adult drivers not
wearing seat belts. The bill has
passed the House.

Bush’s fund-raising
to end next month
CRAWFORD, TEXAS
President Bush’s fund-raising
odyssey, which carried him thou
sands of miles on a quest for $170
million, is coming to an end. But
the dollars will continue to flow
ipto his war chest.
Having already crossed that
goal, Bush’s money drive comes
full-circle with a fund-raiser
Wednesday night in Washington
—the same place the push for cash
started on June 17,2003. The final
fund-raiser is likely to be next
month, campaign officials say.
Rumsfeld counters
claims against Bush
WASHINGTON - Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld in
sisted Sunday that Iraq was not a
distraction for the Bush adminis
tration in the days before and af
ter the September 11 attacks.
Rumsfeld sought to counter the
contention of President Bush’s for
mer chief counterterrorism ad
viser, Richard Clarke, who testi
fied last week that the adminis
tration was preoccupied with Iraq
and ignored the threat posed by
Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida
terrorist network.
World
Artist wins new prize,
uses Sept. 11 dust
CARDIFF, WALES - A New
York-based artist became the first
winner of a new British art prize
on Sunday for a work made from
dust collected from the streets of
Manhattan after the September 11
terror attacks.
Xu Bing was awarded the inau
gural $72,000 Artes Mundi, the
Wales International Visual Art
Prize, at a ceremony at the National
Museum and Gallery in Cardiff.
Xu, a New York resident who
was born in China, used white
dust from near Ground Zero to
trace an ancient Chinese verse on
the floor of the National Museum
and Gallery in Cardiff. It reads:
“As there is nothing from the first,
where does the dust collect itself.”
Top official supports
indictment of Sharon
JERUSALEM — Israel’s state at
torney recommended Sunday that
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon be
indicted for bribe-taking, officials
said, in what is seen as a major —
but not final — step toward his
possible resignation.
Such an unprecedented indict
ment of an Israeli prime minister
could derail Sharon’s proposal to
withdraw from much of the Gaza
Strip — or entice him to move
more quickly on the “disengage
ment” plan, which has broad sup
port in Israel.
Sharon is meeting with
President Bush in two weeks to try
to win U.S. backing for a Gaza
withdrawal.

Coen brothers use childhood names in film
MINNEAPOLIS - The Coen
brothers have again reached into
their past for the memorable name
of a movie character.
In their film “The
Ladykillers,” which opened
Friday, Tom Hanks plays
Goldthwait Hlgglnson Dorr III. If
that name sounds familiar, it’s
because there’s a real-life Dorr
who once lived in the Twin
Cities.
Now 72 and living in Phoenix,
Dorr worked at the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts as a curator and
administrator in the early 1960s.
“I ran the Rose Fete and over
saw the display of the traveling
Larry Rivers exhibition,” said
Dorr, who was surprised to be re
born in film as a pompous con
man.
Joel and Ethan Coen, who grew
up in St. Louis Park, have a histo
ry of borrowing Minnesota names
for their characters. They turned
local film critics Bob Lundegaard
and Bill Diehl into characters in
“Fargo.”
The studio confirmed that the
Coens recycled Dorr’s name from
their childhood.
Day arrested for
disorderly conduct
MADISON, WIS. - Singer Howie
Day was arrested for apparently
locking a woman in a bathroom
and breaking another woman’s
cell phone after one of the women
allegedly refused his sexual ad
vances.
Day, 23, who opened for the
band Barenaked Ladies at a con
cert Wednesday, was charged
Friday with misdemeanor counts
of criminal damage to property
and disorderly conduct in con
nection with the post-concert in
cident on his tour bus.
Day was released from jail af
ter posting $850 bail Thursday. He
is scheduled for a court appear
ance on April 1.
According to a criminal com
plaint, Day allegedly locked a
woman in a bathroom on the tour
bus after she refused his sexual ad
vance.
He then broke the cell phone of
another woman trying to call po
lice.
“That was probably wrong of
me,” Day told police of breaking
the phone. “But I felt violated.”

Swank to model for
CK intimate wear
NEW YORK - Hilary Swank win
be the exclusive celebrity model
of the upcoming global launch of
the Calvin Klein Sensual Support
intimate apparel collection, the
company announced.
The Oscar-winning actress will
be featured in ads for the new col
lection, including print, outdoor
and other media.
“Hilary is the perfect choice for
this campaign. She looks abso
lutely beautiful and easily conveys
the sensuality that we want,” Kim
Vernon, senior vice president of
global advertising and communi
cations for Calvin Klein Inc., said.
“I also think that she is not the
expected choice for a women’s un
derwear campaign and these pic
tures will present her in a way
that she has not been seen in her
professional work so far.’’The new
collection will be available in July.
Jamaican musicians
cover Dylan songs
KINGSTON, JAMAICA
Jamaican musicians have record
ed a tribute album to Bob Dylan
with reggae covers of some of the
American folk singer’s most well
known songs, the album’s distrib
utor said.
“Is It Rolling, Bob” includes 16
songs recorded by veteran per
formers such as Beres Hammond
and new-wave roots groups like
Sizzla, said Gary Himelfarb, head
of Washington D.C.-based RAS
Records.
Although the album will not be
released in the United States and
Europe until June, three songs are
playing already in Jamaica:
“Subterranean Blues" by Sizzla,
“Knocking On Heaven’s Door” by
Luciano and “Just Like a Woman”
by Hammond. The album was
recorded in Kingston, London and
Washington, D.C.
Actor Chan protests
Taiwan elections
TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Hong Kong
film star Jackie Chan said Sunday
that Taiwan’s recent presidential
election was “the biggest joke in
the world.”
President Chen Shui-bian nar
rowly won the March 20 vote. The
opposition wants to nullify the re
sults after Lien Chan lost the elec
tion and claimed the vote was
marred by irregularities.
Thousands protested in the streets
for a week after the vote.
“People will talk about it for 100
years,” Chan said at a news con
ference in Shanghai. “It was a
shame. Not so good to look at. I was
very upset and couldn’t fall asleep.”
Chan’s comments were aired on
Taiwanese television.
Williams interests « )
reach beyond tennis
WASHINGTON - Serena
Williams has signed with the
William Morris Agency, leaving
her agents at IMG after four years.
“While tennis is my No. 1 pri
ority, there are a number of inter
ests that I have, which I think
William Morris is most suited to
provide for me,” Williams said in a
statement released Thursday by
her publicist.
“They have a great reputation
for their representation of athletes,
and for the ancillary opportunities
that they provide their clients.”
After an eight-month absence,
she returned to tournament ten b
nis Friday with an opening-match W
win at the Nasdaq-100 Open.
Her interests extend beyond the
tennis court, including acting —
with an appearance on “Law &
Order” and other TV shows—and
fashion design.
