"John ." We were married at
18 and had a child at 21. We
were · both immature, too
young to be married. After
our divorce, we still spent

Two years later, I met and
married "George." George
and I had a child together. but
he was not a good husband ot
father. Several months after I
divorced George, John and I

We have been . together for
almost five years, married for

• A loan agreement with
Peoples Bank, N.A .. on Oct.
8, 2003, was made for capital
improvements but used to
make payroll for village
employees. The audit report
finds this to be a "fal se statement," and a potential loan
default.
"Thi s occurred because the
village clerk/treasurer was
unable to reconcile bank
statements, and . there was a
question as to whether funds
were available to meet payroll expenses."
"The false statement as to
the purpose of the note could
result in the bank declaring
the village to be in default,
which would cause the entire
note to become due immediately."
The loan was reduced and
extended for another year in
the fall of 2004.

to

against

rookie quarterback's
errors nearly led to a

"He's gomg to have to p1ck his game
up," Faneca said Monday. "We're all
gomg to have to p1ck our· game up, and
It's going to take our best elfort of the
season to win this week.''

"He was off a little bit, but we were

said.
Faneca wasn't smghng out the rookie, but said that kind of quarterback

Then, Faneca smd he wasn't overly

"some little young kid who's just out
of college" rather than a veteran hke
Maddox. Roethlisberger went on to
le.ad the Steelers to a 13-3 victory m

If Roethhsberger picked up a Sunday
newspaper, and he insiSts he doesn't,
he would have read fan comments callmg for Tommy Maddox to replace him
despite an unequaled 14-0 record as a

"He had a rough game, people were

just fine if he quickly moves on to the

"Everybody always wants to know
how he handles the pressure, the setba~ks," Faneca said. "Just like everybody else, nobody likes It, but you've
got to think about it for a minute, brush
It off and move on to the next play.

There have been many comments about
losers and losing. Here is another one,
from Paul Newman: ~show me a good
loser and I will show you a loser."
However, at the bridge ta ble, tha t isn't
always correct. losing a trick· at the rig ht
moment can turn defeat into vit:lory - as
in th is deal. You reach four spades. West
leads the heart king. What would be your
plan ?
South's rebid looks natural, but I hav~ a
sneaking admiration for three no-trump. 11
North can take one trick before the oppo·
nents have captured five, the contract will
ro ll home.
There seem to be 10 tn cks via si)t
spades, one heart. one diamond and two
clubs. So, the original South won the first
trick with dummy's heart ace and played
a diamond to ·his queen. Unfortunately,
West won with the ace, cashed the heart
queen, and exited with a trump. Since
declarer co uldn' t reach the dummy, he
had to lose two hearts, one diamond and
one club.
Now l~t·s go back to trick one. Suppose
South concedes that trick. What can West
do next?
II he shifts to a trump, declarer takes
three rounds, then leads the diamond
queen. The heart ace is still on the board
to give access to the diamond king .
Alternatively, if West plays another heart
to dummy's ace, South crosses to hand
with a club and rUffs his last heart on the

coach Jim Fassel as their
offensive coordinator, and
University
of
former
Washington coach
Rick
Neuheisel as quarterbacks
coach, The (Baltimore) Sun
reported in Monday's editions.
Fassel was a senior consultant with the Ravens this season, working primarily on the
development of. second-year
quarterback Kyle Boller.
. Fassel hoped to land anothet
head coaching job but did not
receive any solid offers a nd

an agrl!emeht with Ortiz, who
made $3.3 million in the final
season of a three-year deal.
The Angels had a contract
option for 2005 at $5.5 million, but bought it out for
$100,000 in November. They
then traded him to the Reds,

this season.
The Sun, citing two sources
close to the si tuation, said an·
agreement had been reached
to make Fassel the replacement for Matt Cavanaugh,
who resigned under pressure
on :ran. 3.
Fassel , who was at the.
team 's training complex in
Owings Mill s on Monday, did
not return phone calls. He was
head coach of the Giants from
1997-03 and 'led New York to
the 200 I Super Bowl, where
the team lost to Baltimore.
Neuheise l was 66-30 over
eight seasons at Colorado and
Washington before being
tired by the · Huskies in June
2003 for partkipating in a
big-money . college basketball

pool. The NCAA investigated
both Neuheisel and the
W&lt;~:shington football program
and ultimately cleared the
coach of any wrongdoing.
"W~t have been told it's
going to happen, but nothing
definitive ," Neulieisel told the
newspaper. "It looks promising. I don 't want to put the
cart before the horse and I' II
let (head coach) Brian Billick
do that''
Neuheisel originally interviewed for the offensive coordinator's job.
The Ravens will also have

would foolish of me to sit
·back and think they're not the
favorite," running back
Jerome Bettis said. "If I was
. on the outside ,looking in. I'd
say the same thing."
Then, no doubt referring to
. the Patriots ' manhandling of
NFL MVP Peyton Manning,
Bettis said. "People count
them out every time they play
a worthy opponent and they
find a way to beat them, and
you have to respect that."
Of course, being an underdog might be what the
Steelers need, considering
how poorly they played as
the favorite in AFC championship games at home:
This is the fifth time since
· January 199~ · they have
staged the conference title

'DoeS

game, but their only victory
came when they held off the
decided underdog Colts 2016 in Ja~uary 1996. They
also lost to the Chargers as a
10-point favorite in January
1995 and . John Elway's
Broncos as a 3-point favorite
in January 1998, plus New
·England as a 9 112-point
favorite three years ago .
These Patriots ( 14-2 during
the season) look to be the
best of the Steelers' five titlegame opponents, though the
Broncos went on to win consec utive Super Bowls.

ross to New England. "It's
helped guide us a lot through

it, game by· game."
What Roethlisberger took
. out of playing New England
- besides one of his best statisti cal performances, with
196 yards passi ng, two
touchdowns and no intercep-

·

tions in only his fourth NFL
start- was knowledge of the
Patriots' defense.
That probably will help the
rookie in the rematch ,
although Manning played a
much ·worse game against
New England the second
time around Sunday than he
did in the NFL season opener
in September.
"It's not what they do, it's
how much they do," Faneca
said, referring to New
England's defense. "They're
so used to doing different
things, they can change their
scheme up from week to
week and make it difficult on
you."
