The awards were given out during the congress held in mid-January in Columbus. "Each year we like to recognize farmers and students who give their all in their areas of expertise," said Jeft' Macqueen, president of the Ohio Fruit Growers Society (OFGS) and an apple producer from Holland (Lucas County). Two brothers, Louis "Bud" Rockwell and Bob Rockwell of Barnesville (Belmont County) were honored with the OFGS Distinguished Service Award for providing outstanding leadership and service to Ohio's fruit industry. Bud earned a doctorate in entomology from Cornell University in 1963, where he lived in the greenhouse to oversee insects for study. He returned to farming in 1976 after working for Chemagro (Bayer). He is aformerOFGS president and lifelong Grdllge and Farm Bureau member. Bob is a graduate of Ohio State University and has a unique background that includes building pigpens in Italy. He is a member of the Belmont Soil and Water BY LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Look outside. Does your garden look neglected, desolate or melancholy? It need not, even if it's too cold for plants to grow, or snow blankets the ground. A quick and easy first step to creating a pleasant winter S~:ene outdoors is to tidy up. Put away buckets and gardening tools, straighten akimbo posts. and cut back old flower stalks. . Formal gardens need more tidying than informal gardens, but even informal gardens benefit from some tidying up. After all, an abandoned lot is -no wildflower meadow. Tidiness lends some order to the scene, but emphasizing that order makes thm~s prettier. Define and organ1ze outdoor space with masses and lines created by plants, fences, walls - even benches and statuary. For instance, an arbor looks pretty enough s{lrin~ through fall, if you nouce u among climbing plants. But once winter comes, the arbor stands out, defining space on either side. Come snow, milky white dots cap each post and white strokes define horizontal elements, dressing the arbor up in much the same way as vines dressed it up in summer.

HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq's drime minister has droppe his protection of. <111 anti-American cleric's Shiite militia after U.S. intelligence convinced him the group was infiltrated by death squads, two officials said Sunday. In a desperate bid to fend off an all-out American offensive, the radical cleric Muqtada ai-Sadr last Friday ordered the 30 lawmakers and six Cabinet ministers . under his control to end their nearly two-month boycott of the government. They were back at their jobs Sunday. AI-Sadr had already ordered his militia fighters not to display their weapons. They have not, however, · ceded control of the formerly . mixed neighborhoods they . have captured, killing Sunnis .· or forcing them to abandon their homes and businesses. Saturday's U.S. death toll climbed significantly to 25 after the military reponed Sunday that six more troops had died in the deadliest day in two years for American forces. The latest military repons said four soldiers and a Marine had died during combat Saturday in Anbar province and one soldier was · killed in a roadside bombing northeast of Baghdad. Nineteen of the deaths were reported Saturday. 12 in a Black Hawk helicopter crash, five in an attack on a security meeting in the Shiite holy city of Karbala and two others in roadside bomb attacks elsewhere. It was the third-highest daily toll for U.S. forces since the war began in March 2003. Prime Minister Nouri aiMaliki 's turnaround on the Mahdi Anny was puzzling because as late as Oct. 31, he had intervened to end a U.S. blockade of Sadr City. the northeast Shiite enclave in Baghdad that is headquarters to the militia. It is held responsible for much of the sectarian bloodshed that has turned the capital into a battle zone over the past year.

Shiites, long oppressed by Iraqi's Sunni minority, and va ulted to power with the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Many of the leading Shiite ligures in Iraq have deep historical ties to Iran, also a majority Shiite state. whose growing muscle in the Middle East is deeply threatening to the autocratic Sunni regimes in the region. As the Saturday death toll among American troops was mounting, the military reponed five soldiers had been killed in an attack on a security meeting in provincial government building in Karbala, south of the capital. Thousands of pilgrims have arrived in the holy city to mark Ashoura, the festival at the stan of the Islamic new year that marks the death of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Profhet Muharnmad and one o the most-revered Shiite saints. Iraqi officials said on Sunday that the gunmen who attacked the meeting wore military uniforms and arrived in black sport utility vehicles commonly used by foreign dignitaries - an apparent attempt to impersonate American forces . The local governor, Akeel al-Khazaali, was not at the security meeting but said security officials told him the SUVs were able to get through a checkpoint on the outskins of the city, 50 miles south of Baghdad, because local police assumed the vehicles were a diplomatic or official convoy and informed headquaners that it was commg. "The group used percussion bombs and broke into the building, killed live Americans and kidnapped two others," the governor said. Iraqi troops later found Iraqi oil minister Hussain ai-Shahristani speaks during a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday. AI·Shahristani said that 289 oil ministry employees were killed and 179 were wounded in 2006.

It's his job to save his marriage BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie : My husband and I have been married for almos t 20 years. Although we 've had our ~hare of ups and downs, we have always been committed to making our marriage work. Last year, my husband had an affair with a subordinate at hi s office. It lasted abo ut four months and ended when she moved across the country to be closer to her ailing mother. He said it would have ended sooner, but he knew she was leaving and decided to just let her go away and never see her a~ain. When he refused to v1sit her at her new home. she threatened to contact me and his boss, and sue the company. A1 that point, he decided to come clean with me so I would not be blindsided. That was 14 months ago. Since then, he has remained in contact with her. She call s a few times a month , although he does not ca ll her except to return a call on occasion . The initial contact was supposedly to keep him from getting fired. She no longer is threatening that. Since day one, he has been promi si ng me that the calls will end, and now he says that will happen "when she moves on." I am tired of being lied to and am considering divorce. I can get over the betrayal of the affair if it would just end. My husband says the calls are simply a visit with an old friend and I am making too much of them.

HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraq's drime minister has droppe his protection of. <111 anti-American cleric's Shiite militia after U.S. intelligence convinced him the group was infiltrated by death squads, two officials said Sunday. In a desperate bid to fend off an all-out American offensive, the radical cleric Muqtada ai-Sadr last Friday ordered the 30 lawmakers and six Cabinet ministers . under his control to end their nearly two-month boycott of the government. They were back at their jobs Sunday. AI-Sadr had already ordered his militia fighters not to display their weapons. They have not, however, · ceded control of the formerly . mixed neighborhoods they . have captured, killing Sunnis .· or forcing them to abandon their homes and businesses. Saturday's U.S. death toll climbed significantly to 25 after the military reponed Sunday that six more troops had died in the deadliest day in two years for American forces. The latest military repons said four soldiers and a Marine had died during combat Saturday in Anbar province and one soldier was · killed in a roadside bombing northeast of Baghdad. Nineteen of the deaths were reported Saturday. 12 in a Black Hawk helicopter crash, five in an attack on a security meeting in the Shiite holy city of Karbala and two others in roadside bomb attacks elsewhere. It was the third-highest daily toll for U.S. forces since the war began in March 2003. Prime Minister Nouri aiMaliki 's turnaround on the Mahdi Anny was puzzling because as late as Oct. 31, he had intervened to end a U.S. blockade of Sadr City. the northeast Shiite enclave in Baghdad that is headquarters to the militia. It is held responsible for much of the sectarian bloodshed that has turned the capital into a battle zone over the past year. The Daily Sentinel h i•trl .>;G.9 MINISTRY OF OIL AP plloto maJOnly sect in key Ardb countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, all of which have shunned aiMaliki. Shiites, long oppressed by Iraqi's Sunni minority, and va ulted to power with the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Many of the leading Shiite ligures in Iraq have deep historical ties to Iran, also a majority Shiite state. whose growing muscle in the Middle East is deeply threatening to the autocratic Sunni regimes in the region. As the Saturday death toll among American troops was mounting, the military reponed five soldiers had been killed in an attack on a security meeting in provincial government building in Karbala, south of the capital. Thousands of pilgrims have arrived in the holy city to mark Ashoura, the festival at the stan of the Islamic new year that marks the death of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Profhet Muharnmad and one o the most-revered Shiite saints. Iraqi officials said on Sunday that the gunmen who attacked the meeting wore military uniforms and arrived in black sport utility vehicles commonly used by foreign dignitaries - an apparent attempt to impersonate American forces . The local governor, Akeel al-Khazaali, was not at the security meeting but said security officials told him the SUVs were able to get through a checkpoint on the outskins of the city, 50 miles south of Baghdad, because local police assumed the vehicles were a diplomatic or official convoy and informed headquaners that it was commg. "The group used percussion bombs and broke into the building, killed live Americans and kidnapped two others," the governor said. Iraqi troops later found Iraqi oil minister Hussain ai-Shahristani speaks during a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday. AI·Shahristani said that 289 oil ministry employees were killed and 179 were wounded in 2006.

A security official in Karbala, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information, also said the gunmen who carried out the attack on the Provincial Joint Coordination Center were using SUVs similar to ones used by the U.S. authorities. The official said the convoy of gunmen fled into neighboring Babil province. The Babi! police commander conlirmed that the suspects entered the region before disappearing. Saturday's deaths of the 25 U.S. troops was eclipsed only by the one-day toll 37 U.S. fatalities on Jan. 26, 2005 , and 28 on the third day of the U.S. invasion.

It's his job to save his marriage BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie : My husband and I have been married for almos t 20 years. Although we 've had our ~hare of ups and downs, we have always been committed to making our marriage work. Last year, my husband had an affair with a subordinate at hi s office. It lasted abo ut four months and ended when she moved across the country to be closer to her ailing mother. He said it would have ended sooner, but he knew she was leaving and decided to just let her go away and never see her a~ain. When he refused to v1sit her at her new home. she threatened to contact me and his boss, and sue the company. A1 that point, he decided to come clean with me so I would not be blindsided. That was 14 months ago. Since then, he has remained in contact with her. She call s a few times a month , although he does not ca ll her except to return a call on occasion . The initial contact was supposedly to keep him from getting fired. She no longer is threatening that. Since day one, he has been promi si ng me that the calls will end, and now he says that will happen "when she moves on." I am tired of being lied to and am considering divorce. I can get over the betrayal of the affair if it would just end. My husband says the calls are simply a visit with an old friend and I am making too much of them.

Thought for Today : "To be capable of respect is today almost as rare as to be worthy of it." - Joseph Joubert, French moralist (1754-1824 ). OPINION . Monday, January 22, 2007 The education of Cully Stimson Imagine waiting for that other shoe to drop only to realize it has kicked you in the pants. That's how I 1magme the current state of mind of Cully Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Qetainee affairs, i.e . jihad terrorists captured by the U.S. on the globlll battlefield and incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. How did Mr. Stimson go from praetically smug to very sore? Last week, the Pentagon official declared in a radio interview that it was "shocking" the extent to which the nation's top law firms, whether pro bono or paid, represent terrori.s ts in Gitmo. Ticking off a roster of so-called white-shoe firms that make up what's known as the Guantanamo Bar, Mr. Stimson predicted that when these same firms' corporate clients discover they share legal counsel with terrorists - "the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 200 I," he added- they would "make those law firms choose between representing terrorists and representing reputable firrns." I, for one - and probably the only one was impressed. Here was a Pentagon official who seemed to believe that not only was there a dividing line between representing terrorists and representing businesses, but there was also a connection between Diana West helping those terrorists and hurting those ousinesses. Quaint thou ght. In our advanced stat~ of political correctness, suc h a line is crossed so often and so enthusiastically by our legal elites and others that it has disappeared altogether. Indeed, we live in a day when one man's wanted terrorist is another man's prized pro bono client. But Mr. Stimson seemed not to have noticed. He actually thought that if Big Business knew Big Law was rushing to defend enemy comoatants committed to the destruction of thi s country (not to mention Big Business and Big Law), CEOs would pressure legal elites to withdraw from the Guantanamo Bar. After all, what's ~ood for Guantanamo IS not good for the country. Time to win one for the Babbitt. That was then.

Faced with a hostile $25 billion cash and stock bid for Caremark from Express Scripts, a Maryland Heights, Mo.-based pharmacy-benefits . manager, CVS sweetened its offer on Tuesday. It said it would pay an additional $2-pershare dividend to Caremark shareholders and buy back $5 billion of the eombined company's stock, both to come after the deal closes. The CVS bids have come under fire , not just because· they offer no premium to Caremark's market price, but also for what they promise Caremark's executives and directors for their support. Caremark CEO Edwin "Mac" Crawford would receive $56 million in exit pay, even though he won 't be leavin~ the company since he wtll become chairm~U~ of the combined entity's board. Eleven other Caremark executives were also guaranteed jobs, including Crawford's son, Andrew, who is in senior management at Caremark. An undisclosed number of Caremark's directors would join the board of the new company. CVS also has a$reed to cover any costs arismg from alleged stock-option backdating at Caremark. According to the merger agreement, CVS will "indemnify and hold harmless" any present or former officer or director "in respect of acts or omlssions" under the law. Nashville, Tenn.-based Caremark is under investigation by securities regulators for its option granting practices. It also faces a civil lawsuit that alleges options granted to CEO Crawford and others were oackdated, allowing them to reap millions of dollars in proceeds when the options were exercised. The Caremark board also agreed to pay CVS a $675 million cash breakup fee should the company decide against combining with CVS . That potential expense makes it harder for Caremark to walk away from the CVS deal. "In the sale of a business, negotiations have to be held on behalf of its owners, which are shareholders," said Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at University of Delaware. <;The side benefils given to individual officers and directors bere raise questions of whether they clouded executive judgment." The prom1ses made to Caremark executives haven't been lost on share· holders. A class-action lawsuit. led by the Louisiana Municipal Police Employees ' Retirement System, accuses Caremark's directors of violating their responsibilities to investors by putting their own ihterests first and for failing to maximi~e shareholder value with the CVS deal. Express Scripts is pounc· ing on this issue, too _ and making sure it stays in the spotlight. The nation's third-largest pharmacy benefits manager said it would nominate four people to Caremark's !! -member board at its annual meeting in May. It also filed suit to block the CVS deal, attempting to void the breakup fee that Caremark would have to pay CVS. Both CVS and Caremark have said the lawsuit is without merit. Caremark spokesman Steve Lipin said Friday that the company's focus is to maximize longterm value for its stockholders. But they may be missing the point. In revising the CVS bid this week, the companies had a chance to fix their wrongs by scaling back the promises made to Caremark's leaders _ a move that would have won goodwill from Caremark's shareholders. Instead, they have investors furious over a deal that has merits . Many research analysts support the CVS acquisition because it would be a sounder long-term opti.o n to hook up Caremark with a · major retail drug chain rather than pairing it with a phannacy, benetit manager half its size.

Investors. for now, are voting with their shares . The stock topped $59 a share Friday, above both bids currently on the table. That means shareholders aren't sold on either side.

New House speaker showing who's boss Energy promises a focus of Bush sState of the Union, buJ action uncertain BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BY H. JOSEF HEBERT WASHINGTON - Swom in just over two weeks ago as the first female speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi wasted no time showing who's boss. The Califomia Democrat rammed six major bills through the House at breakneck speed, stomped out smoking privileges near the House lloor, partially sidelined a powerful Democratic committee chairman and decided she liked traditionally Republican office space so much she claimed it for herself. By Democrats' timekeeping, she did it all in far under the I00 legislative hours she had allotted. "We did what we promised the American people we would," Pelosi declared on Friday, pledging it was 'just the beginning." Pelosi's initial agenda, completed Thursday, included measures with wide popular support: increasing the minimum wage, oroadening stem cell research, allowing government bar~aining on Medicare drug pnces, cutting srndent loan costs, putting in place terrorism-fighting recommendations from the Sept. II commission and rolling back energy company tax breaks. Each bill passed with bipartisan majorities and Pelosi triumphantly gaveled down the votes, at one point banging the 11avel so enthusiastically that 11 left a small dent in the ASSOC~TED AP photo Speaker of the House Rep.

She seemed to recover from postelection stu moles such as backing the losing candidate in the contest for House majority leader. She also is getting a boneymoon from the public . Pelosi is held in higher regard than the president or her colleagues in the Congress. An AP-AOL News poll taken Jan. 16-18 put her approval rating at 51 percent - much higher than that of Congress (34 percent) or Bush (36 percent). Rep. George Miller, DCalif., a close ally, called Pelosi's performance "spectacular." "What the Democrats in the caucus are telling me is that this is the best three weeks of their life," he crowed. Even moderates who are not always aligned with the liberal Pelosi were not compluining. PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - A year after warning America of its addiction to oil, President Bush is expected to renew concerns about energy security in his State of the Union address. But will the rhetoric be followed by action? Up to now, the record has been mixed. Aides hint of a major pronouncement on energy in the speech before Congress anll the nation Tuesday night. Yet the president is expected to take a predictable path, urging expanded use of ethanol in gasoline, more research into cleaner burning coal and on gas-electric "hybrid" cars, and greater nuclear energy. He may tweak his voluntary program on climate change. Aides, however. say the president remains opposed to mandatory cuts in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping "greenhouse" ~ases as has been proposed m Congress. A year ago, Bush declared "America is addicted to oil" and he set a goal of replacin~ three-fourths of today's 011 imports from the Middle East by 2025. He pledged to • press for altemati ves to oil and for more efficient use of energy. He has had some success in getting more domestic productiOn. The Bush administration has opened new federal lands for oil and gas drilling. Last month, Congress approved opening a large new area in the Gulf of Mexico to drilling. This month, Bush lifted a longtime ban on oil and gas drilling in Alaska's Bristol Bay. But when it comes to wearting the country away from oil, tbe president's critics say his rhetoric has not been matched by action.

Faced with a hostile $25 billion cash and stock bid for Caremark from Express Scripts, a Maryland Heights, Mo.-based pharmacy-benefits . manager, CVS sweetened its offer on Tuesday. It said it would pay an additional $2-pershare dividend to Caremark shareholders and buy back $5 billion of the eombined company's stock, both to come after the deal closes. The CVS bids have come under fire , not just because· they offer no premium to Caremark's market price, but also for what they promise Caremark's executives and directors for their support. Caremark CEO Edwin "Mac" Crawford would receive $56 million in exit pay, even though he won 't be leavin~ the company since he wtll become chairm~U~ of the combined entity's board. Eleven other Caremark executives were also guaranteed jobs, including Crawford's son, Andrew, who is in senior management at Caremark. An undisclosed number of Caremark's directors would join the board of the new company. CVS also has a$reed to cover any costs arismg from alleged stock-option backdating at Caremark. According to the merger agreement, CVS will "indemnify and hold harmless" any present or former officer or director "in respect of acts or omlssions" under the law. Nashville, Tenn.-based Caremark is under investigation by securities regulators for its option granting practices. It also faces a civil lawsuit that alleges options granted to CEO Crawford and others were oackdated, allowing them to reap millions of dollars in proceeds when the options were exercised. The Caremark board also agreed to pay CVS a $675 million cash breakup fee should the company decide against combining with CVS . That potential expense makes it harder for Caremark to walk away from the CVS deal. "In the sale of a business, negotiations have to be held on behalf of its owners, which are shareholders," said Charles Elson, director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at University of Delaware. <;The side benefils given to individual officers and directors bere raise questions of whether they clouded executive judgment." The prom1ses made to Caremark executives haven't been lost on share· holders. A class-action lawsuit. led by the Louisiana Municipal Police Employees ' Retirement System, accuses Caremark's directors of violating their responsibilities to investors by putting their own ihterests first and for failing to maximi~e shareholder value with the CVS deal. Express Scripts is pounc· ing on this issue, too _ and making sure it stays in the spotlight. The nation's third-largest pharmacy benefits manager said it would nominate four people to Caremark's !! -member board at its annual meeting in May. It also filed suit to block the CVS deal, attempting to void the breakup fee that Caremark would have to pay CVS. Both CVS and Caremark have said the lawsuit is without merit. Caremark spokesman Steve Lipin said Friday that the company's focus is to maximize longterm value for its stockholders. But they may be missing the point. In revising the CVS bid this week, the companies had a chance to fix their wrongs by scaling back the promises made to Caremark's leaders _ a move that would have won goodwill from Caremark's shareholders. Instead, they have investors furious over a deal that has merits . Many research analysts support the CVS acquisition because it would be a sounder long-term opti.o n to hook up Caremark with a · major retail drug chain rather than pairing it with a phannacy, benetit manager half its size.

New House speaker showing who's boss Energy promises a focus of Bush sState of the Union, buJ action uncertain BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BY H. JOSEF HEBERT WASHINGTON - Swom in just over two weeks ago as the first female speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi wasted no time showing who's boss. The Califomia Democrat rammed six major bills through the House at breakneck speed, stomped out smoking privileges near the House lloor, partially sidelined a powerful Democratic committee chairman and decided she liked traditionally Republican office space so much she claimed it for herself. By Democrats' timekeeping, she did it all in far under the I00 legislative hours she had allotted. "We did what we promised the American people we would," Pelosi declared on Friday, pledging it was 'just the beginning." Pelosi's initial agenda, completed Thursday, included measures with wide popular support: increasing the minimum wage, oroadening stem cell research, allowing government bar~aining on Medicare drug pnces, cutting srndent loan costs, putting in place terrorism-fighting recommendations from the Sept. II commission and rolling back energy company tax breaks.

She seemed to recover from postelection stu moles such as backing the losing candidate in the contest for House majority leader. She also is getting a boneymoon from the public . Pelosi is held in higher regard than the president or her colleagues in the Congress. An AP-AOL News poll taken Jan. 16-18 put her approval rating at 51 percent - much higher than that of Congress (34 percent) or Bush (36 percent). Rep. George Miller, DCalif., a close ally, called Pelosi's performance "spectacular." "What the Democrats in the caucus are telling me is that this is the best three weeks of their life," he crowed. Even moderates who are not always aligned with the liberal Pelosi were not compluining. PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - A year after warning America of its addiction to oil, President Bush is expected to renew concerns about energy security in his State of the Union address. But will the rhetoric be followed by action? Up to now, the record has been mixed. Aides hint of a major pronouncement on energy in the speech before Congress anll the nation Tuesday night. Yet the president is expected to take a predictable path, urging expanded use of ethanol in gasoline, more research into cleaner burning coal and on gas-electric "hybrid" cars, and greater nuclear energy. He may tweak his voluntary program on climate change. Aides, however. say the president remains opposed to mandatory cuts in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping "greenhouse" ~ases as has been proposed m Congress. A year ago, Bush declared "America is addicted to oil" and he set a goal of replacin~ three-fourths of today's 011 imports from the Middle East by 2025. He pledged to • press for altemati ves to oil and for more efficient use of energy. He has had some success in getting more domestic productiOn. The Bush administration has opened new federal lands for oil and gas drilling. Last month, Congress approved opening a large new area in the Gulf of Mexico to drilling. This month, Bush lifted a longtime ban on oil and gas drilling in Alaska's Bristol Bay.

Since last January. drink ing water supplies have not been allowed more than I0 pans per billion of arsenic content - equivalent to about that many drops in a backyard swimming pool. Middletield, a communi ty of 2,400 people about 44 miles east of Cleveland, is spending $7.4 million to drop the arsenic Ieve I from 12 parts per billion to meet the new standard . Nationwide, the new re gulation has led to scores of expensive projects that U.S. indicate the Environmental Protection Agency may have underestimated compliance costs. "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" Geauga County Health Commi ssioner Bob Weisdack said. "Or arc we regulating just to regulate .,.. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency set the new maximum in 200 I. down from 50 part~ per billion, but gave communities five years to comply. The new standard put an estimated 4, 100 public water systems across the country in violation. The toxin occurs natural ly in soil and also can enter the water supply through industrial and agricultural pollution. Research has linked exposure to higher levels of arsenic to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney. liver and prostate, S MII.I.IONS as we ll as other diseases. The new standard has forced three small Northeast Ohio towns Middlefield and Chardon in Geauga Cou nty and Seville in Medina County - to build or upgrade wa ter treatment plants despi te being just over allowable levels. Mitldlefield's le vel was two parts per billion over the limit; Chardon and Seville each tested at six parts per billion over the li Ill i I. The three communities combined are spending close to $ 16 million . Chardon and Middlefield water customers can expect billing increases of 28 percent to 70 percent over the next three years to help cover the costs. Officials who questio n the costs of upgrading treatment plans should realize the reduction in health risks, said Eric Burneson , a "risk-management official with the EPA. "The data we have on the nation al leve l says it· , worth it ," Burneson said . "It 's justified." Federal officials at first delayed implementing a new arsenic regulation after expressing concern over the potential price . The I 0-parts-per-billion standard represented a compromise to minimize cost. In 200 I. the EPA estimated the national cost of compliance at $3.62 billion over 20 years . But officials with the American Water Works Assoc iation Re search Foundation ·pegged actual cost at closer 10 their initial estimate of $4.6 billion to $2 1.5 billion over 20 ye;~rs. The Plain Deal er rev iewed eight proj ec ts across six states - including three in Ohio - found more than $2 10 million in spending to meet ·!he new standard. In Middlefield, the EPA forecast annual water rates rising between $58 and $7 1 for the ave rage household . But a three-year price increase adopted by Village Council to help pay for the new treatment plant wi II drive up the ave rage annual bill by $ 148. That increase still won 't cover the entire cost of the plant, Village Administrator Dan Weir said. Money will be pulled in from elsewhere Middlefie ld 's budget to help pay for the plant. delaying planned street projects. · " It 's diffi cult for a town this size to come up with that sort of money," Weir said. "In the end, this just hurts." Some officials say they are paying millions of dol lars to treat a problem that cannot be found in their communities. "I just don't see the justification," Chardon City Manager Dave Lelko said. "We're doing all this to lower the arsenic level by a few parts per billion . How many lives is this going to save? How many ?" Bv JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS - Ohio high-school students ·soon will get lessons in money management along with the tougher math and science standards the Legislature approved last month. Instruction in personal finance is set to begin in 2010 but could start earli er if new state Treasurer Rich Cordray has his way. When he was Franklin County treasurer, Cordray tallied the trail of home foreclosures, delinquent property taxes and other forms of financial ruin that affect thousands of Ohio families. He decided one way to help was to get children savvy in the ways of money before life had a chance to do it for them. "I realized, as people came through and told us their stories, how many people simply got into tr~ble because they just weren' t very good at managing their money and nobody had ever helped them," he said. "They didn't get it in school. Some of them dido ' t learn it from their parents or learned very poor lessons from their parents ." Cordray. worked the last four years with Columbus Public Schools to educate high- sc hoolers about credit, savings and budgeting. He wants those lessons to go statewide sooner than required. "There's no reason we should be missing out on another round of hi ghschool student s," Cordray told a volunteer committee' of banking executive s, educators, public officials and others he assembled to form a strategy for teaching personal finance . The committee held it s first informal meetin g last week. Ohio is one of 48 states with at least some form of classroom instruction in money management, said Heather Morton, who track s banking for the National Conference of State Legislatures. She said a spike in foreclosures and failed loan s in the 1990s grabbed law makers' attention. "All of these issues that are coming home show that individuals aren ' t ge tting it. They're not getting it at home and they ' re not getting it at school." Morton said . Some stales are reaching beyond high schools to make financial education a lifelong endeavor.

Since last January. drink ing water supplies have not been allowed more than I0 pans per billion of arsenic content - equivalent to about that many drops in a backyard swimming pool. Middletield, a communi ty of 2,400 people about 44 miles east of Cleveland, is spending $7.4 million to drop the arsenic Ieve I from 12 parts per billion to meet the new standard . Nationwide, the new re gulation has led to scores of expensive projects that U.S. indicate the Environmental Protection Agency may have underestimated compliance costs. "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" Geauga County Health Commi ssioner Bob Weisdack said. "Or arc we regulating just to regulate .,.. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency set the new maximum in 200 I. down from 50 part~ per billion, but gave communities five years to comply. The new standard put an estimated 4, 100 public water systems across the country in violation. The toxin occurs natural ly in soil and also can enter the water supply through industrial and agricultural pollution. Research has linked exposure to higher levels of arsenic to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney. liver and prostate, S MII.I.IONS as we ll as other diseases. The new standard has forced three small Northeast Ohio towns Middlefield and Chardon in Geauga Cou nty and Seville in Medina County - to build or upgrade wa ter treatment plants despi te being just over allowable levels. Mitldlefield's le vel was two parts per billion over the limit; Chardon and Seville each tested at six parts per billion over the li Ill i I. The three communities combined are spending close to $ 16 million . Chardon and Middlefield water customers can expect billing increases of 28 percent to 70 percent over the next three years to help cover the costs. Officials who questio n the costs of upgrading treatment plans should realize the reduction in health risks, said Eric Burneson , a "risk-management official with the EPA. "The data we have on the nation al leve l says it· , worth it ," Burneson said . "It 's justified." Federal officials at first delayed implementing a new arsenic regulation after expressing concern over the potential price . The I 0-parts-per-billion standard represented a compromise to minimize cost. In 200 I. the EPA estimated the national cost of compliance at $3.62 billion over 20 years . But officials with the American Water Works Assoc iation Re search Foundation ·pegged actual cost at closer 10 their initial estimate of $4.6 billion to $2 1.5 billion over 20 ye;~rs. The Plain Deal er rev iewed eight proj ec ts across six states - including three in Ohio - found more than $2 10 million in spending to meet ·!he new standard. In Middlefield, the EPA forecast annual water rates rising between $58 and $7 1 for the ave rage household . But a three-year price increase adopted by Village Council to help pay for the new treatment plant wi II drive up the ave rage annual bill by $ 148. That increase still won 't cover the entire cost of the plant, Village Administrator Dan Weir said. Money will be pulled in from elsewhere Middlefie ld 's budget to help pay for the plant. delaying planned street projects. · " It 's diffi cult for a town this size to come up with that sort of money," Weir said. "In the end, this just hurts." Some officials say they are paying millions of dol lars to treat a problem that cannot be found in their communities. "I just don't see the justification," Chardon City Manager Dave Lelko said. "We're doing all this to lower the arsenic level by a few parts per billion . How many lives is this going to save? How many ?" Bv JOHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS - Ohio high-school students ·soon will get lessons in money management along with the tougher math and science standards the Legislature approved last month. Instruction in personal finance is set to begin in 2010 but could start earli er if new state Treasurer Rich Cordray has his way. When he was Franklin County treasurer, Cordray tallied the trail of home foreclosures, delinquent property taxes and other forms of financial ruin that affect thousands of Ohio families. He decided one way to help was to get children savvy in the ways of money before life had a chance to do it for them. "I realized, as people came through and told us their stories, how many people simply got into tr~ble because they just weren' t very good at managing their money and nobody had ever helped them," he said. "They didn't get it in school. Some of them dido ' t learn it from their parents or learned very poor lessons from their parents ." Cordray. worked the last four years with Columbus Public Schools to educate high- sc hoolers about credit, savings and budgeting. He wants those lessons to go statewide sooner than required. "There's no reason we should be missing out on another round of hi ghschool student s," Cordray told a volunteer committee' of banking executive s, educators, public officials and others he assembled to form a strategy for teaching personal finance . The committee held it s first informal meetin g last week. Ohio is one of 48 states with at least some form of classroom instruction in money management, said Heather Morton, who track s banking for the National Conference of State Legislatures. She said a spike in foreclosures and failed loan s in the 1990s grabbed law makers' attention. "All of these issues that are coming home show that individuals aren ' t ge tting it. They're not getting it at home and they ' re not getting it at school." Morton said . Some stales are reaching beyond high schools to make financial education a lifelong endeavor.

Oden dominated inside while hitting 12 of I3 shots from the field to lead No. 7 Ohio State to an 82-63 victory over Iowa on Saturday night. "He 's a s uper talent," Iowa coach Steve Alford said of the 7-foot freshman. "What makes him very, very special is he can get 2q (points) and 10 (rebounds} and win, or he can get 6 and 10 and win - and he 's going to feel the same. It's never been about points. It 's never been about any kind of selt'i sh ambition witli Greg. It 's always been about winning." Besides being almost per~ feet from the field , Oden, ~ho turns 19 on Monday, htt all five of hi s free throw~ while shooting left-handed: He still wears an elastiC brace on his s hootin~ hand - which he OCCaSIOilaliy uses while shooting - but he continues to use his off hand at the line.

"I thought he was tremendous." Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "He finished well. He got real active the last 10 minutes .defensively and as always he rebounded well.

Will Invitational Star game as NHL's biggest star Pomt wins, Gallia ninth at WSAZ BY LARRY CRUM LCRUM®MYDAILYREGISTER .COM BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH Perhaps it is a surprise only that 11 has happened to Sidney Crosby this quickly. this impressively. Crosby has been viewed as hockey's next great talent, one who might be good enough to rival Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. since he was setting scoring records at age 13. Now, as Crosby readies for his first All-Star game at age 19 Wednesday in Dallas - yes. the same age No. 99 and No. 66 made their All-Star debuts - it appears to be happening. For the first time since Gretzky was setting a different standard for hockey stardom 27 years ago, a player not yet in his 20s has become his sport's signa: ture figure. Crosby is not .- only the NHL's most popular player - as evidenced by his landslide win in the All-Star voting but arguably its best player. "Yes, definitely, there's : not even any question," · said Pittsburgh Penguins linemate Mark Recchi, who, while more than prejudiced, echoes a sentiment shared widely by numerous . NHL players, executives and coaches. . Check out the reaction of Carson Briere, the young son of Sabres center Daniel Briere, upon learning his dad would start the All-Star game: "Wow, you get to play with Sidney Crosby!" It's notjustthat Crosby is scoring, but how he's scoring, with a verve. passion and a drive. In successive games against Tampa Bay earlier this month, he scored while sliding on his side, controlling the puck while doing so, and from his knees. Despite a politeness and matunty that would be uncommon for players five years older than himself, Crosby has an edge, too. After being sucker punched in the stomach last week by the Islanders' Jason Blake, he charged after Blake with a look that couldn't mask his anger and disdain. No more Mr. Nice Scorer. ''I think emotion is definitely part of the game and it bnngs out a lot in players," Crosby said. "No doubt I get caught up in it." Nor does he get caught up in the scoring race. Less than a year after becoming the youngest player in NHL history to have a 100-point season, the Penguins center could threaten to become the first since Lemieux in 1996 (161 points) to have a !50-point season. Crosby has 72 points in 43 games (he missed three with a groin injury) and could hit ISO by averaging slij;htly more than two potnts per game the rest of the season- about what he averaged down the stretch of his rookie season. At the break. he leads Tampa Rolls from Page 81 a pivotal 13-0 second-half run - for Ohio State ( 16-3, 4-1 Big Ten), which has won six of its last seven. Mike Conley Jr. totaled 10 assists - many on passes that led to Oden dunks · and also made several critical plays in the game. He charged into 77foot Iowa center Seth Gorney late in · the opening half. causing Gorney to get two stitches in his face. He did not play again, opening the door for ·Oden to take the game over in the second half. Conley also followed up his own bad ~ss with a steal near ltlldcourt that helped touch off the decic sive Ohio State run. , "The guy who $CIS overshadowed m th1s whole thing is Cobley," Alford said. "He did in high school because Greg is such a super talent. But that's a pretty special point guard. He takes good shots, he knows his role and he had a I 0-to-3 assist-to-turnover ratio. He's in line to break a ' lot of records here at a uniJ - APphoto Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby skates against the Boston Bruins in Boston in this Oct. 22, 2005 photo. For 20 years, the NHL All-Star game often was about Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux or both. Now, in the first All-Star game in three years, it is Sidney Crosby, at age 19, just like Gretzky and Lemieux in their All-Star debuts, who has become the sport's signature star.

Tyler Smith scored 21 points and the Big Ten's leading scorer, Adam Haluska, added IS for the Haw keyes ( 10-9, 2-3), who have dropped three of four after a season-best fourgame winning streak. With the Buckeyes switching off defenders, Haluska did not score in the final 16:05. Iowa has dominated the series in recent years, winning three of its last four trips to Columbus. The Buckeyes had lost the last four times they played Iowa while ranked. "You could tell through practice all week that (the upperclassmen) were going harder," Conley said. "Before the· game they mentioned how bad they wanted to beat them." Down as many as 15 points early in the second half, the Hawkeyes scored on 10 consecutive possessions to get as close as 4945 on Cyrus Tate's 3-pointer at the 12:42 mark. "We made a good run and cut a double-digit deficit to four. " Alford said. "Thad called a timeout and I' rn sure he got into them pretty good. Upon coming out on the tloor, the only guy who was really vocal was Oden. He's a great leader. He looks like a tremendous teammate and he's hands down the best talent on the floor. You don't see that often out of the center position.'' With the lead still at four, the Buckeyes went on a 130 run to 8ush the advantage to 67-5 with 8:10 left. Cook got it st<lrted with a 3 before Oden had a conventional three-point play. While Iowa missed on three shots from t)le field and the front end of a bonus situation, Cook spun in a lefthanded reverse layup and Ron Lewis made a 3 from the left corner. The Buckeyes shot 68 percent from the field in the second half and finished at 59 percent. They also outscored the Hawkeyes 142 at the line. "Oden is a handful and we didn't handle him very well," Alford said. "They beat us by 19 and g01 us by 20 in points in the paint. It was pretty clear and pretty ea., y to see where they .ton the game." HUNTINGTON, W.Va . - Over the past decade the Point Pleasant wrestling team has slowly been rising among the ranks of the best in the state.

The former tight end was credited with developing Green Bay's Bubba Franks, the New York Giants' Jeremy Shockey and current Browns tight end Kellen Winslow into AllAmericans. The Browns went through two offensive coordinators this season. With players and fans grumbling about his play calling, Maurice Carthon resigned after six games and was replaced by line/assistant head coach Jeff Davidson.

In contrast, Chudzinski IS leaving a high-powered offense that helped San Diego win the last 10 regular-season games for an AFC-best 14-2 record. "I tried to fit LaDalnian (Tomlinson) in my bag, but I couldn't bring him with me," Chudzinski told reponers at a Saturday news conference. Still. he described how as a boy. he and his cousins would face their television toward the window and go outside to watch Browns games so they could feel like they were in the stands.

Chudzinski, 38, was Cleveland's tight ends coach in 2004 under Butch Davis, and served five games that season as offensive coordinator after Davis resigned. The Toledo native coached San Diego's tight ends the past two seasons. The team was impressed with Chudzinski's "well thought-out" plan on how to address the Browns' scoring woes, coach Romeo Crennel said.

Will Invitational Star game as NHL's biggest star Pomt wins, Gallia ninth at WSAZ BY LARRY CRUM LCRUM®MYDAILYREGISTER .COM BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH Perhaps it is a surprise only that 11 has happened to Sidney Crosby this quickly. this impressively. Crosby has been viewed as hockey's next great talent, one who might be good enough to rival Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. since he was setting scoring records at age 13. Now, as Crosby readies for his first All-Star game at age 19 Wednesday in Dallas - yes. the same age No. 99 and No. 66 made their All-Star debuts - it appears to be happening. For the first time since Gretzky was setting a different standard for hockey stardom 27 years ago, a player not yet in his 20s has become his sport's signa: ture figure. Crosby is not .- only the NHL's most popular player - as evidenced by his landslide win in the All-Star voting but arguably its best player. "Yes, definitely, there's : not even any question," · said Pittsburgh Penguins linemate Mark Recchi, who, while more than prejudiced, echoes a sentiment shared widely by numerous . NHL players, executives and coaches. . Check out the reaction of Carson Briere, the young son of Sabres center Daniel Briere, upon learning his dad would start the All-Star game: "Wow, you get to play with Sidney Crosby!" It's notjustthat Crosby is scoring, but how he's scoring, with a verve. passion and a drive. In successive games against Tampa Bay earlier this month, he scored while sliding on his side, controlling the puck while doing so, and from his knees. Despite a politeness and matunty that would be uncommon for players five years older than himself, Crosby has an edge, too. After being sucker punched in the stomach last week by the Islanders' Jason Blake, he charged after Blake with a look that couldn't mask his anger and disdain. No more Mr. Nice Scorer. ''I think emotion is definitely part of the game and it bnngs out a lot in players," Crosby said. "No doubt I get caught up in it." Nor does he get caught up in the scoring race. Less than a year after becoming the youngest player in NHL history to have a 100-point season, the Penguins center could threaten to become the first since Lemieux in 1996 (161 points) to have a !50-point season. Crosby has 72 points in 43 games (he missed three with a groin injury) and could hit ISO by averaging slij;htly more than two potnts per game the rest of the season- about what he averaged down the stretch of his rookie season. At the break. he leads Tampa Rolls from Page 81 a pivotal 13-0 second-half run - for Ohio State ( 16-3, 4-1 Big Ten), which has won six of its last seven. Mike Conley Jr. totaled 10 assists - many on passes that led to Oden dunks · and also made several critical plays in the game. He charged into 77foot Iowa center Seth Gorney late in · the opening half. causing Gorney to get two stitches in his face. He did not play again, opening the door for ·Oden to take the game over in the second half. Conley also followed up his own bad ~ss with a steal near ltlldcourt that helped touch off the decic sive Ohio State run. , "The guy who $CIS overshadowed m th1s whole thing is Cobley," Alford said. "He did in high school because Greg is such a super talent. But that's a pretty special point guard. He takes good shots, he knows his role and he had a I 0-to-3 assist-to-turnover ratio. He's in line to break a ' lot of records here at a uniJ - APphoto Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby skates against the Boston Bruins in Boston in this Oct. 22, 2005 photo. For 20 years, the NHL All-Star game often was about Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux or both. Now, in the first All-Star game in three years, it is Sidney Crosby, at age 19, just like Gretzky and Lemieux in their All-Star debuts, who has become the sport's signature star.

Tyler Smith scored 21 points and the Big Ten's leading scorer, Adam Haluska, added IS for the Haw keyes ( 10-9, 2-3), who have dropped three of four after a season-best fourgame winning streak. With the Buckeyes switching off defenders, Haluska did not score in the final 16:05. Iowa has dominated the series in recent years, winning three of its last four trips to Columbus. The Buckeyes had lost the last four times they played Iowa while ranked. "You could tell through practice all week that (the upperclassmen) were going harder," Conley said. "Before the· game they mentioned how bad they wanted to beat them." Down as many as 15 points early in the second half, the Hawkeyes scored on 10 consecutive possessions to get as close as 4945 on Cyrus Tate's 3-pointer at the 12:42 mark. "We made a good run and cut a double-digit deficit to four. " Alford said. "Thad called a timeout and I' rn sure he got into them pretty good. Upon coming out on the tloor, the only guy who was really vocal was Oden. He's a great leader. He looks like a tremendous teammate and he's hands down the best talent on the floor. You don't see that often out of the center position.'' With the lead still at four, the Buckeyes went on a 130 run to 8ush the advantage to 67-5 with 8:10 left. Cook got it st<lrted with a 3 before Oden had a conventional three-point play. While Iowa missed on three shots from t)le field and the front end of a bonus situation, Cook spun in a lefthanded reverse layup and Ron Lewis made a 3 from the left corner. The Buckeyes shot 68 percent from the field in the second half and finished at 59 percent. They also outscored the Hawkeyes 142 at the line. "Oden is a handful and we didn't handle him very well," Alford said. "They beat us by 19 and g01 us by 20 in points in the paint. It was pretty clear and pretty ea., y to see where they .ton the game." HUNTINGTON, W.Va . - Over the past decade the Point Pleasant wrestling team has slowly been rising among the ranks of the best in the state.

And using that consistent foul shooting and sman play, Wahama equaled Meigs in the third to hold a 51-42 edge heading into the final quarter and then put things away in the founh using a 26-13 scoring advantage to claim the 22point victory. "I told them after the game, it was the best we have played all year and if you keep playing like that you are gomg to be hard to handle," Toth said. "Clark and Smith stepped up big, everyone stepped up for us. It was a good team win for us, I couldn't be any happier." Wahama also held a 33-23 advantage in rebounds despite the size advanta~e by Meigs.

In contrast, Chudzinski IS leaving a high-powered offense that helped San Diego win the last 10 regular-season games for an AFC-best 14-2 record. "I tried to fit LaDalnian (Tomlinson) in my bag, but I couldn't bring him with me," Chudzinski told reponers at a Saturday news conference. Still. he described how as a boy. he and his cousins would face their television toward the window and go outside to watch Browns games so they could feel like they were in the stands. In the end. he couldn't resist coming back to the team of his childhood - or its problems. fromPageBl Websites: WWN.mydailytribune .com WWN.mydailysentinel.com WWN.mydailyregister.com To Place m:rtbune Sentinel ll\egister Your Ad, (740) 446-2342 (7 40) 992-2156 (304)- 675-1333 Call Today... or Fax To (740) 446-3008 Or Fax To (740) 992-2157 Browns hire Chudzinski as coordinator BEREA (AP) Rob was hired Chudzinski Saturdar as the Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator, returning to the team to take over a unit that ranked near the NFL's bottom in nearly every category the past two seasons. Chudzinski, 38, was Cleveland's tight ends coach in 2004 under Butch Davis, and served five games that season as offensive coordinator after Davis resigned. The Toledo native coached San Diego's tight ends the past two seasons. The team was impressed with Chudzinski's "well thought-out" plan on how to address the Browns' scoring woes, coach Romeo Crennel said.

And, yes - finally - Peyton Manning gets llis Super Bowl !rip. So does Tony Dungy. Football's most prolific quartetback put on a show for the ages Sunday, rallying the Indianapolis Colts from 18 points down and driving them 80 yards for the winning score in a wildly entertaining 38-34 victory over the New England Palriots. In his nine years in the league, Manning has never played in a game like this AFC championship contest. He threw fnr 349 yards and one touchdown and brought llis team back from a 21-3 deficit, the biggest comeback in conference title-game history. Joseph Addai capped Manning's late drive with the winning score, a 3-yard run with I minute left to help the Colts ( 15-4) complete the rally and send Dungy to his first Super Bowl - and a very special one. The Colts coach will face the Chicago Bears and his good friend Lovie Smith in Miami in two weeks. Together they are the first black coaches to make the Super Bowl in its 41 years. After Indy 's last touchdown, Manning was on the sideline, his head down - he couldn't bear to watch. New England's Tom Brady - he of the three Super Bowl rings - threw an interception to Marlin Jackson and the RCA Dome crowd went wild. One kneel down later and Manning ripped off his helmet to celebrate.

A circus catch by Marvin Samuel snatched and took 39 Harrison for the 2-point conyards into the end zone for a version tied the game at 21. The rest of the game was rollicking, back-and-fonh, and Manning never let up. The Patriots answered with an 80-yard kickoff return by Ellis Hobbs, which set up a 6yarJ touchdown from Brady to Jabar Gaffney. Ofticials awarded the score to Gaffney after ru ling he was forced out of the back of the end zone by an Indy defender. Manning came right back., and proving that one good otl'ensive lineman deserves another. his handoff to Dominic Rhodes misfired. The ball scooted forward and center Jeff Saturday got this touchdown to tie the score at 28. After that drive, Manning could be seen on the sideline, nursing a sore thumb. But he wasn't coming out. The teams traded field goals, and Patriots kicker Stephen Gostk.owski put New England ahead 34-31 on a 43yarder with 3:491eft. After a touchback, it was time for Manning's drive: II yards to Reggie Wayne, 32 yards to Bryan Fletcher, a scary completion to Wayne, who nearly lost the ball but snatched it back. A roughing-the-passer call gave Indy the ball at the II , then Manning handed off three straight times to Addai for the last II yards- showing that, yes, maybe it really is about more than just the quarterback. Or maybe not. This one was Manning at his best. He was the first-round draft pick in 1998, considered a prototypical, can't-miss guy despite the fact that he could never win the big one in Tennessee, falling to archrival Florida three times when the Vols might have been good enough to win it all. He was 0-2 in the playoffs against New England. and the storyline all week was what a break the Colts got to get the Patriots at home, and what a sensational feeling it would be to finally knock off the team that bedeviled them most. Manning conceded during the week that he could hear the clock ticking as his career entered its prime, especially as the disappointments mounted. His teammates protected him, s~ying the quarterback shouldn't shoulder all the burden for the fmnchise's inability to break through and make the Super Bowr But now Indy has finally done it, for the first time since owner Bob Jrsay's midnight move from Baltimore back in 19g4 found the Colts in the Midwest, adopted at first by,a basketball-loving fan base, then embraced when Manning came into the fold . The Patriots lost for the first time in six trips to the AFC championship game, as coach Bill Belichick found himself uncharacteristically unable to shut down Peyton and Co. The Colts piled on 455 yards and scored on six of their final eight drives, not counting the one where Manning kneeled down. The mystique that seemed so prevalent last week in an upset win over San Diego seemed missing, and this looked like a tired, desperate, defeat.ed team in the end maybe in part because of a flu bug that worked its way through their locker room during the week. So while that dynasty is dead, it is now Manning's tum to take a shot at history. Of course, with his performance Sunday - many think he has already. Bears devour New Orleans, fill other Super Bowl slot BY BARRY WtLNER ASSOCIATEO PRESS CHICAGO Relax, Chicago. Rex Grossman and Da Bears are indeed good enough for this Super Bowl, and they've already made it a llistonc one. Few teams with such an · impressive record have been as questioned, even maligned as the Bears. Yet after romping past the New Orleans Saints 39-14 on Sunday, they are headed to their first NFL title game since the 1985 team overwhelmed the league and shuffled in under Mike Ditka and Jim McMahon. This time, Lovie Smith will lead them there, the lirst black head coach to make it to the title game in its 41 years. ''I' II feel even better to be the first black coach to hold up the world championship trophy," he said. Smith's team did it in true Bears fashion - big plays on defense and a steady running game in the sleet and snow, ending the Saints' uplifting saga.

This was the fiN trip this • 2007 More Republicans op\)Ose Iraq troop mcrease,As Steelers to hire Tomlin PITISBURGH (AP) Minnesota Vikings def_ensive coordinator Mike Tomlin accepted the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching job Sunday ni g~t and was working out a four-year contract he hoped to complete Monday, people close to the search told The Associated Press. They requested anonymity because the Steelers have asked all parties involved in the search to not speak to reporters until they can makt! the announcement, which could come Monday or Tuesday. Tomlin is expected to make around $2.5 million per year, the going rate of late for first-time NFL coaching hires. Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher resigned Jan. 5 following 15 seasons after aP.parently rejecting a $6 mtllion per year contract extension off~r earlier this year. Tomlin's hiring completed a frantic 2 1/2-week search in which he was initially viewed as an unlikely choice behind perceived front-runners Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm, only to land the job after impressing the Steelers with his motivation, intensity, knowledge of defense and enthusiasm. The 34-year-old Tomlin, a defensive coordinator for only one season, was chosen over Grimm, the Steelers' assistant head coach for three years and Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. The Steelers decided Sunday not to ~ive Rivera a second interview because they couldn't talk with him again until Feb. 5, the day after the Super Bowl. The Steelers issued a statement Sunday saying they had not concluded a deal, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette initially reported Sunday that Grimm had been told Tomlin was the choice. However, the Steelers did not deny Tomlin was the choice, only that they did not have a contract wtth their new coach and did nut expect to have one Sunday. While the Steelers have not interviewed any candidates since meeting with Tomlin for 3 112 hours Tuesday and Grimm for six hours Wednesday, there was a nurry of reports - at times cmiflicting over the weekend. Sports SJ.com, Illustrated's Web site, and, later, ESPN .com, reported Saturday the Steelers had decided on Tomlin, the Vikings' defensive coordinator, or begun contract talks with him. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review citing unidentified sources reported that Grimm was the choice. Tomlin will be the fourth consecutive coach hired by the Steelers who was a defensive assistant coach in his 30s with another team before going to Pittsburgh. Bill Austin was 37' when he was chosen io 1966, as was Chuck Noll in 1969. Cowher 'l'as 34 when he picked in 1992.
