Corrie Brandon, a resident

was bom March 28, 1921 in
Livingston, TX and passed
forest for the American
Wilderness Experience in Ontario,
and a Vietnamese jungle commis-
sioned by the First U.S. Army
Division Museum in Wheaton, III.
While plastic plants were com-
mon in the 1970s, Abrams strove
to fabricate trees so lifelike they
could pass for the organic ver-
sions from as close as two feet
away. He first experimented with
faux plants in the 1980s and
developed a technique using
welded steel frames coated with
wet mulch that was molded to
resemble bark and painted in
natural colors.
away Sunday, August 15,
1004 in a local nursing home.
She loved her kids and was an
avid hunter, fisher, quilter,
and gardener. She had a talent
for making things grow in her
yard. Folks would stop by her
home and ask if they could
take a cutting from different
plants to take home and see if
they could make them grow.
In fact, it was said that she
could plant a mop handle and
make it grow.
Her family will receive
friends at Navarre Funeral

p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
Graveside services will be

Milton Pollack
NEWYORK —Milton Pollack,
who was appointed a federal
judge by President Lyndon B.
Johnson in 1967 and oversaw
many notable corporate cor-
ruption cases, died Friday. He
was 97.
He died of complications
from surgery.
One of Pollack's most
prominent cases was that
involving Drexel Bumham
Lambert’s bankruptcy, which
encompassed claims against
the company itself and sever-
al of its executives including
Michael Milken.
Pollack ultimately approved
a settlement of more than $1
billion in that case; the
amount was later reduced.
In 1975, he sentenced Jane
Alpert, a member of the
Weather Underground activist
group, to 27 months in prison
for conspiring to bomb a fed-
eral building in New York dur-
ing the Vietnam War and then
jumping bail.

WASHINGTON — Over
two decades, the income gap
has steadily increased
between the richest
Americans, who own homes
and stocks and got big tax
breaks, and those at the mid-
dle and bottom of the pay
scale, whose paychecks buy
less.
The growing disparity is
even more pronounced in this
recovering economy. Wages
are stagnant, and the middle
class is shouldering a larger
tax burden. Prices for health
care, housing, tuition, gas and
food have soared.
The wealthiest 20 percent
of households in 1973
accounted for 44 percent of
total U.S. income, according
to the Census Bureau. Their
share jumped to 50 percent in
2002, while everyone else’s
fell. For the bottom fifth, the
share dropped from 4.2 per-
cent to 3.5 percent
Jobs and the economy top
the list of voter concerns this
election year. President Bush
touts a strong economy that is
growing, but polls find that
Americans have doubts and
think jobs are scarce. John
Kerry is trusted more on the
economy, with Democrats
talking regularly of “two
Americas,” divided between
the rich and everyone else.
That aigument has merit,
some private economists say.
“For those working in the
bottom half of the pay scale,
they’re under an enormous
amount of pressure,” said
Mark Zandi, chief economist
atEconomy.com.
New government data also
shows that President Bush’s
tax cuts have shifted the over-
all tax burden to the middle
class from the wealthiest
Americans.
The U.S. jobs market is soft,
sending wages down. Hiring
came to a near standstill last
month, with companies
adding just 32,000 new jobs
overall, stunning economists
who had expected seven times
as many.
More than a million jobs
have been added back to the
2.6 million lost since Bush
took office, but they pay less
and offer fewer benefits, such
as health insurance. The new
jobs are concentrated in health
care, food services, and tem-
porary employment firms, all
lower-paying industries. Temp
agencies alone account for
about a fifth of all new jobs.
Three in five pay below the
national median hourly wage
— $13.53, said Sung Won
Sohn, chief economist for
Wells Faigo.
On a weekly basis, the aver-
age wage of $525.84 is at the
lowest level since October
2001.
The income gap is showing
up in booming sales of luxury
items. Porsche Cars North
America Inc. says sales are up
17 percent for the year. Strong
sales at Neiman Marcus,
Nordstrom and Saks Fifth
Avenue overshadow lackluster
sales at stores such as Wal-
Mart, Sears and Payless
Shoes.
Real estate agent Lance
Anderson, 38, of Overland
Park, Kan., expects a record
sales year, as homeowners
upgrade to more expensive
homes and commercial clients
expand.
Economists say wages
should rise as companies
boost hiring. But the growing
gap between the haves and
have-nots will remain.
Technology has eliminated
many U.S. jobs, as has global
competition, particularly from
low-wage countries such as
China. Highly skilled, educat-
ed workers in America will
thrive as demand rises, Sohn
said, while low-skilled jobs
remain vulnerable to out-
sourcing.
