SAN DIEGO - The San
Diego Chargers gave Tom
Bntdy one ch<mce too muny,
and that's exactly what the
three-time Super Bowl-winning quanerback needed.
Brndy and the New England
P.rltriots shrll:ked league MVP
LaD-dinian Tomlinson w1d the
Chargers on Sunday, winning
24-2 r to move withm one win
of their founh Super Bowl trip
in six seasons.
Brndy overcame three interceptions, his career playoff
hi~;h, to lead the Patriots to I I
pmnts in 3:26 late in the game.
He and coach Bill Behchick
now have a 12- I postsew;on
record and are heading to
Indianapolis for the AFC
championship game next
Sunday.
'"That was as tough of a
game a~ I can ever remember
playing," Bmdy said.
While the Chargers respecteJ the mystique Bmdy and the
P.dtriots had built with Super
Bowl wins following the 2001.
2002 and 2004 seasons. they
hoped to be the ones nusing
the Lombardi Trophy in
Miami on Feb. 4.
San Diego had nine players
voted to the Pro Bowl team
and tive to the All-Pro team.
And it had been supercharged
by Tomlinson, who became
the most prolilic scorer in one
season in NFL history with 31
touchdowns and 186 points
while winning the rushing title
with I ,8 15 yards.
But Brady is the one who's
been there before in January.
And nearly always has wonit was Brady's 24th career
game-winning drive.
He left behind some frustrated
Chargers,
including
Tomlinson, who went alter an
unidentified Patriots player
when the game ended.
Tomlinson ran for 123 yards
and two scores, and caught
two passes for 64 yards.
Tomlinson said he was upset
that some Patriots were dancing on the Chargers logo at
mtdfield after they had
silenced the record crowd of
68,810 at Qualcollllll Stadium
ck Chargers
and wrecked the Chargers'
season , which included an
NFL-best 14-2 record and 8-0
home mark in the regular season.
'' I would never reac·t in that
way. I was very upset,"
Tomljnson said. "When you
go to the middle of our field
anu stan uoing the dance
Shawnc Meniman is known
for, that is disrespectful. They
showed no cia" and maybe
that comes from the head
coach."
Merriman,
nicknamed
"Lights Out." did a spasmodic
dance to celebmte each of his
NFL-high 17 sacks.
"We lost to a better team
today," Tomlinson said.
" Hopefully the next opponunity we have we 'll leam something from this."
The winrling points came on
a 31-yard field goal by
Stephen Gostkowski with I: I0
left . That capped a 72-yard
drive highlighted by a 49-yard
pass to Recne Caldwell, who
left the Chargers as a free
agent after last SCll';Qll.
Coincidentally. the man the
rookie Gostkowski replaced,
Adam Yinatieri, kicked live
field goals for all of
Indianapolis' points in a 15-6
win at Baltimore on Saturday.
With the Patriots trailing 2113, Brady threw a 4-yard
touchdown pass to the wideopen Caldwell with 4:36 to
play. The Patriots tied it on a
tricky 2-point conversion,
snapPing the ball directly to
runnmg back Kevin Faulk,
who was standing next to
Brady and ran through the
middle of the line.
San Diego's Pro Bowl kicker Nate Kaeding was short on
a 54-yard field goat try with 3
seconds left.
It was a crushing end to San
Diego's season, and could lead
to
coach
Many
Schottenheimer's ouster.
Schottenheimer fell to 5-13
in the postseason in his career,
with Cleveland, Kansas City
and San Diego. Although he
has a year left on his contract,
at more than $3 million. he and
general manager A.J. Smith
have had an tcy relationship
for months, and the front -
oftlce felt this team was built
for a deep playotl run.
Schollenheimer will no
doubt be criticized for going
for it on fowth-and-11 from
the New England 30-yard line
in the fourth 4uaner ruther than
having Kaeding try a field
goat .
Philip Rivers, the Chargers'
tirst-year staning 4uanerback,
was sacked by Mike Vrabel
and fumbled, giving the
Patriots the ball at their 35.
The Chargers had four
turnovers and made other critical mistakes.
Punt returner Eric Parker
had a double muff to give the
Patriots the ball un their 31 late
in the third quarter. Following
a third-and-13 on which Brndy
fumbled and Matt Light recovered, Chargers cornerback
Dmyton Florence head-butted
tight end Daniel Gr.tham and
drew a 15-yard unsponsmanlike conduct penalty. That led
to Gostkowsk.i's 24-yard field
that pulled the Patriots to 1413.
Tomlinson scored on a 3yard run with 8:35 left in the
game for a 21-13 lead.
On the next Patriots drive.
Brady was intercepted by safety Marlon McCree, who,
rnther than going down. tried
for a return and was hit by
Troy Brown and fumbled,
with Caldwell recovering.
The Chargers challenged,
but the play was upheld, and
the Patriots had the ball at the
Chargers 32. Five plays later,
Brady hit Caldwell and Faulk
added the conversion.
Tomlinson scored on a 2yard run in the second quaner
for a 7-3 lead. Later, he turned
a screen pass into a brilliant
58-yard gain, leaving two
defenders gmsping at air while
he scooted to the New England
6. His backup, Michael Turner,
scored on the next play for a
14-3 lead.
Brady kept the Patriots in it
by running the two-minute
offense to perfection, pulling
New England to 14-10 just
before halftime. At the end of
the I0-play, 72-yard drive.
Brady had all day io throw a 6yard pass to Jabar Gaffney in
the back of the end zone.

CHICAGO Robbie
Gould won it after Rex
Grossman didn 't lose it and
the Chicago Bears are back in
the NFC championship game
tor the first time in 18 years.
Two swings of the foot by
their All-Pro kicker - the
final une a 49-ym·d field goal
4:58 into overtime - offset
any
shortcomings
m
Grossman's passing and
pushed the Bears to a 27-24
victory over the Seattle
Seahawks on Sunday.
The
oft-criticized
Grossman did come through
in ovenime, delivering a
clutch completion to set up
the winning kick.
The Bears will host the
Saints next Sunday in the
NFC championship game.
Chicago has not been to the
Super Bowl since January
1986 and New Orleans never
has been that far.
"We win one game, we're
in the Super Bowl, two wins
away from having a ring on
my tingcr tot the rest of my
life," Grossman said.
Seattle got the ball first in
ovenime, but Chicago's Israel
ldonije forced an 18-yard
punt by Ryan Plackemeier
with a strong rush. Grossman
hit Rashied Davis for a thirddown pass of 30 yards to the
Seattle 36, and the Bears ( 143) moved into position for the
winning points.
· "I've learned that he knows
how to bounce back from
tough situations," coach
Lovie Smith said of
Grossman. "He's been roasted
the past couple weeks over all
different kinds of things. He is
our quanerback.... There was
a lot of pressure on him and
our entire football team and I
thought they handled it well."
Gould, who entered the
NFL as an undrafted free
agent and is now headed to
the Pro Bowl, hit the 49yarder, setting off a wild celebration at Soldier Field.
Earlier, he tied the game at 24,
with a 41-yarder with 4:28
leti in the fourth quaner. He
made his tirst 24 field goats
this season, and 32 of 36 overall.
"I didn't even watch the end
of it. 1 hit it right wh6re 1
wanted it to go," Gould said.
The Bears had won a division title and earned a firstround bye in their previous
two playoff appearances, only
to lose their first game at
home, so their elatton was

ained 108 yards and gave the
ears' defense a tough time.
He had a pair of touchdowns
ru~~i·s hard to say 'If we had
this or that,"' Alexander said.
"It was, 'Nab we came up
short."
~
Grossman, whose season
has been up-and-down since a
hot stan, completed 21-of-38
for 282 yards with an interception. It was quite an
upgrade from his final performance of the regular season,
when he had a quarterback
rnting of 0.0 in a loss to Green
Bay.
Late in the fourth quaner,
the Bears stacked up
Alexander on a third-and-1
for no gain at the Chicago 44,
and the Seahawks decided to
go for it. But Matt Hasselbeck
bobbled the snap and Lance
Briggs threw Alexander for a
2-yard loss, turning the ball
over to the Bears with just
under two minutes to go.
"If the snap was smooth I
could have run for a TD,"
Alexander said. "It was delinitely the best I felt all season
runmng the ball."
After a short completion
and two of Grossman's passes were deOected - one was
nearly intercepted - the
Bears punted.
The Seahawks got the ball
at the 20 with I :38 to go and
moved to the Bears 45 before
Tank Johnson, whose legal
problems have been a
headache for his team this
season, sacked Hasselbeck. .
The Seahawks, last year's
NFC champs, took thetr first
lead in the third quarter arK~
momentarily silenced the
bundled up crown at Soldier
Field - tempemtures were
in the 30s when
Alexander ran up the middle
tor a 13-yard TD on a thirdand-10 to make it 24-21.
Earlier, as Gould made a
lield goal that would have
tied the game, Seattle's
Leroy Hill was called for
iumping up and trying to
induce a false stan . Instead of
the three points, the Bears got
5 extra yards on the penalty
and a first down at the Seattle
13 .
But Grossman's pass went

which is 46 feet. At 46 feet
the parking lots and the
river amphitheater are
flooded as are some sec ondary roads due to back water. At 48 feet downtown busine sses start to

According to the NWS,
if the river crests at 41 feet
at the Racine Locks and
Dam this means Ohio 124
near Antiquity will start to
flood as will areas of
Ravenswood,
W. Ya.
Yesterday. motorists along
Ohio 124 in Antiquity
could get up close and personal with the river which
was continuing to slowly
rise closer to the roadway.
This crest at 41 feet is
just under what it takes to
flood Ohio 124 near
Minersville at 42 feet.
Yesterday at 2 p.m. all
eight gates at the Racine
Locks and Dam were
rai sed to "hanger position''
which means they 've been
raised as far up as po~sible.
These gates, like the dam
itself, have nothing to do
with flood control and are
raised because the nearby
pools that contain the lock
chambers begin to fill and
no longer have a 22 foot
difference between them.
The gates are also raised to
protect equipment.
At 5 p.m. yesterday, the
water reading on the lower
end of the locks and dam
was 33.4 feet .
According to the NWS
historic crests at the
Racine Locks and Dam

BAGHDAD. Iraq - The
Iraqi government's auempt
Monday to close a chapter
. on Saddam Husse tn's
: repressive regime - by
hanging two of his hench. men left many of
Saddam 's fellow Sunni
Muslims seething after the
former leader's half brother
was decapitated on the gallows.
A

Ibrahim plunged through
the trap door and was
beheaded by the jerk of the
thick beige rope at the end
of his fall, in the same the
execution chamber where
Saddam was hanged a little
over two weeks earlier.
A government video of
the hanging, played at a
briefing for reporters,
showed Ibrahim's body
passing the camera in a
blur. The body came to rest
on its chest while the severed head lay a few yards
away, still wearing the
black hood pulled on
moments before by one of
Ibrahim's five masked executioners.
The
de·capitation
appeared inadvertent, and
Iraqi officials seemed anxious to prove they hadn't

remains.
By day's end at least
3,000 angry Sunnis, many
firing guns in the ai_r, others
weeping or cursing the government, assembled for the
burials of Ibrahim and alBandar in Saddam's hometown of Ouja, near Tikrit,
80 miles north of Baghdad.

Egypt
Hoping to breathe life into
moribund peace efforts, the
United States will gather
Israeli and Palestinian leaders to discuss an eventual
independent
Palestinian
state, President Bush's top
diplomat said Monday.
Secretary
of
State
Condoleezza Rice also asked
Arab allies to help support
the fragile government in
Iraq, on whose success much
of Bush's new plan to turn
the war around will depend.
The three-way U.S.Israeli-Palestinian meeting
would be the first among the
main parties thought necessary to draft any settlement
in the six-decade-long dispute. It represents more
direct involvement from a
U.S. administration that has
sometimes viewed Mideast
peacemaking as a fool's
errand.
"The parties haven 't
talked about these issues for
a long time," Rice told
reporters following a meeting with Egyptian President
Hosni Mubarak in this
southern Egyptian town following a three-day visit to
Israel and the Palestinian territories.
"It's been at least six years
since they talked about these
issues," Rice said. "It seems
wise to begin this ... informal discussion. to just really
s.it and talk about the issues.

Diplomats described a preliminary session meant to
build confidence after years
of fighting and rhetorical

The unruly scene at

worldwide protest and calls
for Ibrahim and ai -Bandar
to be spared.
On Monday, Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice
said Saddam's execution
was mishandled and said

Dear Editar:
On behalf of the Rutland Cub Scouts Pack 240, I would
like to take the opportunity to let everyone know about the
great facilities we have in our area.
· During the months of November and December, the
Webelos II Den 4 was learning about safety and responsibility. As part of the learning experience, I scheduled field
trips to the Meigs County EMS office and Pomeroy Police
Department for field trips.
Both agencies were cooperation and excited about having
the scouts visit. The boys had a great time and learned a
significant amount regarding safety and what to do for
emergency situations. To add fun to the trip they were fingerprinted at the police station. Our appreciation to Sgt.
Brandy Tobin for not only educating the scouts, but for
making it fun and interesting also.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Politically and milirarily, this is President Bush's
last chance to avoid catastrophe in Iraq, and the
Democratic
Congress
ought to let him play out
his hand.
Hard as it might be,
Democrats should resist
extreme pressure from
antiwar forces in their
pase to undermine what
little is left of Bush's popular support and force a
withdrawal from Iraq .
The reason is that if the
United States loses the
Iraq War, the consequences will be dire and a Democratic president elected in 2008 may

the inability or unwillingness - so far - of Iraqi
Prime Minister Nuri ai Maliki' s government to
stop Shiite death squads
from torturing and killing
Sunnis and to offer the
political concessions necessary to dampen the nonA! Qaeda Sunni in surgency.
Responsible Democrats
- those who don ' t just
want to abandon the Iraq
enterprise regardless of
the consequences - contend that the only way to
force ai-Maliki to act is to
establish a withdrawal
timetable.
Bush does not want to
do that because it will
give notice to America's
enemies that they can just
wait for U.S. forces to
leave to resume a fullforce insurgency.
But Bush needs to tell ·
ai-Maliki, if he doesn't
understand it already, that
time is rutlning very short.
Administration officials
say they think they have
until this fall nine
months or so - to show
results.
This strikes me as optimistic . The bottom is
dropping out of U.S . support for the war - fast.
And the pressure is
mounting on Democrats
to pull the plug . The latest
Gallup Poll showed that
the public opposes Bush's
troop increase by 61 percent to 37 percent.
Eighty -five percent of
Democrats oppose it.
Only 15 percent favored
immediate withdrawal,
but 39 percent mote wanted U.S. troops out within
a year, while only 31 percent supported their staying as long as needed and
12 percent favored adding
more troops .
Administration officials
say that ai-Maliki is aware
of what 's expected of him
- and by when - and
that he is working on
dimini shin g the influence
of radical cleric Moqtada
ai-Sadr, controlling hi s
militias and compromi sing
with
Sunnis.
Everything depends on his
acting fast, however.
Another reason to be
pessimistic is that, whenever Iraqi forces have
been asked to "stand up"
to the challenge of securing Baghdad, they 've
largely failed.
Bush told members of
Congress on Tuesday that
he believed two previou s
Baghdad security operations failed. both because
the United States had too
few troops and because
Iraqi s could not hold
neighborhoods that had
been cleared of extremists.
Now, !lu sh is adding
15.000 U.S. troops ro
Baghdad and ai-Maliki is
supposedly supplying an
equal number of his best
forces , the first. of which
are to arrive by Feb. I.
This is do or die . If the
operation begins to show
promise, it could turn
around both Iraqi and
U.S. public opinion. But
if
reports
are
that
Americans are fighting
and dying , but Iraqis
aren't, demands .for , withdrawal will become irresistible.
It also remains to be
seen whether even U.S.
forces can perform this
counterinsurgency mission successfully. The
new U.S. commanding
general in Iraq , David
Petraeus. is an expert on
such combat and has a
record of success in previous Iraq tours.
The U.S . Army's new
counterinsurgency manual, written under Petraeus'
supervision . declares that
"the military forces that
successfully defeat insurgencies are usually those
able to overcome their
institutional inclination to
wage conventional war"
and in stead protect and
win support from the local
populace .
It remains a question
whether U.S. units will be
numerous enough - and
well-trained enough - to
perform the mission. It's
appropriate for Congress
to inquire about that - ·
and make sure training is
adeq uate for counterinsur:
ge ncy operations in the
future. There will be
more.
Democrats have every
1 ight and responsibility to
ask hard questions about
Bush 's strategy and to
advocate alternatives such as moving U.S.
troops out of populated
areas to guard Iraq's borders and oil wells, leaving
urban combat to the
Iraqis.
At the moment, that
does not seem to be a
viable strategy, given the
deficiencies of
Iraqi
forces, but it could be a
transition role when and i{
the Iraqis can take charge
of the cities.
If they can't or won't-.
and if al-Maliki can't or
won't reach accommodation with the Sunnis ~
the U.S. may have to consider yet another alterna·
tive: the "80 percent solution," in which we back
the likely winners of a
civil war in Iraq, the
Shiites and Kurds.
This would not be a
desirable conclusion -·
one advocate calls it
"winning dirty" - but i'
may be the only alternative to losing Iraq, the
region and U.S. influence
in the world.
Now that they havt:
taken over Congress,
Democrats have a respon~
sibility to do more than
simply oppose Bush and
his policies. If there is any
possibility that the United
States and its interests can
still succeed in Iraq, they
need to help it happen.
It's very possible that
America will fail. If so,
Democrats should give no·
one the opportunity to say
that they precipitated it. .

Leftist president takes office in·Ecuador,
promises to renegotiate foreign debt payments
Bv MONTE HAYES
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
QUITO, Ecuador
Rafael Correa vowed to put
Ecuador's poor ahead of
foreign debt payments as he
was sworn in as president
on Monday, raising a sword
given to him by Venezuela's
Hugo Chavez in a ceremony
attended by members of the
growing club of leftist Latin
American leaders.
Correa, a charismatic
political outsider who won a
November runoff election,
said he would work for an
"economic revolution" in
Ecuador that would emphasize the renegotiating offoreign debt, "paying only
what we can after attending
to the needs of the poor."
His
remarks
drew
applause from several U.S.
antagonists who attended
the ceremony - Chavez,
Bolivian President Evu
Morales and Iran's hard line
leader
Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad - as well as
from Nicaraguan President
Daniel Ortega and more
moderate left-leaning leaders from Brazil, Chile, Peru.
Correa, who has a doctorate in economics from the
University of Illinois, said
the free-market policies
promoted by Washington
since the 1980s have failed
to help Ecuador develop. He
said some of the loans
arranged by previous governments had been lost to
corruption, and an international tribunal should be set
up to decide what debt
should be repaid.
During the campaign last
fall, Correa threatened to
cut ties with the World Bank
and
the
International
Monetary Fund and said he

who says he suffered retaliation and was used as a scapegoat by officials seeking to

He says the treatment was

ple.
The city's lawyers say
Lentz's complaints are "ba~
upon innuendo, coincidence
and shadowy conspiracy theaties that have no basis in reality."
- They said the investigation

because the department had six

investigations took precedence.

would not rule out a moratorium on foreign debt payments unless foreign bondholders agree to lower
Ecuador's debt service by
half.
He said in September that
Ecuador cannot afford its
current $2 billion debt service, representing 7 percent
of the country's gross
domestic product. "Ecuador
cannot pay more than 3 percent," he said at the time .
He did not mention the
possibility of a debt moratorium in his speech Monday.
A debt renegotiation
wouldn't harm Ecuador's
economy, but a moratorium
would. said Michael Shifter,
a Latin America analyst at
the
Inter-American
Dialogue research group in
Washington. "If he goes
ahead with it (a moratorium), I don't think it's.going
to help Ecuador's economy.
I think it's certainly going to
give the jitters to Wall Street
and the financial community," Shifter said.
Following Correa's election in the fall , Ecuador's
bonds were hammered on
Wall Street because of concerns over his policies.
Correa has also rejected a
free trade pact with the
U.S., saying it would hurt
Ecuador's farmers. And he
has said he will not extend
the U.S. military's use of
the Mama air base on the
Pacific coast for drug surveillance flights when a
treaty expires in 2009.
U.S. Commerce Secretary
Carlos Gutierrez, who represented the U.S. at the
inauguration,
said
Washington
respected
Correa's decision to reject
the free trade. agreement,
but hoped to continue 1'collaboration on matters of
mutual interest in the
future."
Keeping his campaign
promi se, Correa issued a
decree Monday calling for
Ecuadoreans to vote March
18 in a national referendum
on the need for a special
assembly to rewrite the constitution. He says the measure is necessary to limit the
power of Ecuador's traditional parties, which he
blames for the country's
problems.
His plans for a constitutional assembly could put
him on a collision course
with Congress, which is
dominated by Ecuador's
traditional
parties.
Lawmakers have dismissed
the last three elected presidents after huge street
protests demanding their
ousters.
Strapping on the red, yellow and blue presidential
sash and smiling broadly as
he waved to cheering supporters in the galleries of
Congress, Correa complained
Monday
that
Ecuador has "a perverse
system that has destroyed
our democracy, our economy and our society."
Accepting Chavez's gift
of a replica of liberation
hero Simon Bolivar's
sword, Correa addressed the
gathered leaders and said
they all now share a new
responsibility: "The people
won't forgive us if we don't
advance the integration of
our America," he said.
Correa, 43, becomes the
eighth president in the last
decade in a nation marked
by chronic political instability since it returned to
democracy in llJ79.
He 'liid a ne\\- constitu tion is vi tal to limiting the
power of the tntditiunal parties, which he accuse' of
defending th.:ir own int.:restS rather than the intere>t>
of the people.
"We seek a profound
transformation . Our leadership has fai led. We want a
democracy where our voice
is heard, where our representatives understand that
they are the re to serve us,"
said Correa, who wore a

President Bush concedes he
isn't popular, and that the war
in Iraq isn't either. Yes,
progress is overdue and
patience is all but gone. Yet
none of that changes his view
that more U.S. troops are
needed to win in Iraq.
"I'm not going to uy to be
popular and change principles
to do so," Bush said in a television interview that aired
Sunday night.
Digging in for confrontation. Bush and Vice President
Dick Cheney say they will
not budge from sending more
U.S. troops to Iraq no matter
how much Congress opposes
it.

said of the. Democrat-run
Congress. "But I've made my
decision, and we're going
forward."
As the president talked
toullh, lawmakers pledged to

options we have available to

Democratic Sen. Barack
Obama of Illinois, a possible
White House candidate in

wary, though, of appearing
unsupportive of American
troops.
A detiant Cheney. meanwhile, said Democrats offered
criticism without credible
alternatives. He pointedly
reminded lawmakers that
Bush is commander in chief.
"You cannot run a war by

Franklin was as much of a
fixture in the shop about 60
miles south of Cleveland as
the 1950s-era, green barber's
chair
where
Schwendiman seats his customers.
"I love him ," said
Franklin's owner, Matt
Schwendiman, who cuts
hair at the shop he owns. "I
haven't met anyone who
comes in here who doesn't
like Franklin. He just gets
along with everybody." .
But the 4-year-old dog
was kicked out about a year
ago when an inspector for
the Ohio State Barber Board
told Schwendiman that animals are not allowed.
During a 10-munth exile
to the barber's home.
Franklin just didn't seem
happy.
"At my house, he
scratched my window sills
up," Schwendiman said .
"When I'd leave, he would
look out the picture winJow. He wanted to go to the
barbershop ."
.
But after a local newspaper tapped into Franklin's
situation. Republit'an state
Sen. Kirk Schuring of
Canton wanted to tind out
why dogs and other pets,
under oertain circumstances, are allowed in nursing homes and hospitals but
not a barber shop.
Schwendiman said that
his dog put his customers,
especially children, at ease.
Schuring and Howard
Warner, executive director
of the state's regulation
board for barbers, crafted
rules last year that allow
one animal, which must
· belong to th~ shop's owner.
A veterinarian must attest to
the animal's health, and the
owner must obtain liability
insurance.
A photograph of the animal must be sent to the state
and posted at the barber·
shop.
Warner said that some
other states, such as
Montana. Florida and
California, have such pet
therapy rules that would
pertain to barber shops.
"There is no reason why
in our civilization today
these adjustments can't be
made," Warner said. He has
had other inquiries but no
other
.
applications.
Schwendiman's request was
approved Dec . 5.
· Franklin doesn't seem all
that concerned about Ohio
rules. The 65-pound. dog is
more into chasing squirrels
outsicfe and watching Clint
Eastwood movies and The
History Channel in the bar-
ber shop.
"He's a great dog," said
Schwendiman, who has cut
hair for nearly 40 years ,
including 18 years at the
present location. "He's just
so passive. He makes you
relaxed; he reminds me of
myself when I'm home
sleeping."

Pharmacist denies couple
morning-after pill
COLUMBUS (APJ - A
woman has complained to the
governor and an abortion
rights group about Wal-Mart
workers who wouldn't give
her morning-after contraceptive pills that don 't require a
prescription.
Tashina Byrd, 23. of
Springfield, said the pharmacist "shook his head and
laughed" when a I?hannacy
ane~~dam asked thts month
about giving the woman and
her boyfriend Plan B. The
hormone pills can help prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected
sex.
The atlendant told Byrd and
her boyfriend, Brian O' Neill,
37, of Columbus, that the
store stocked Plan B but
nobody would give it to them.
the
couple
told
The
Columbus Dispatch for a
story Monday.
.
Byrd wrote Gov. Ted
Strickland and contacted
NARAL Pro-Choice America
and Wal-Mart Watch. an
activist group that seeks to
change the retailer's practices.
"I could go to church if I
wanted to be told how to live
my Iife," said Byrd, who
ended up getting the pi lls
from a CVS pharmacist in
Springfield, about 45 miles
west of Columbus.
The Food and Drug
Administration decided in
August to allow nonprescription sales of Plan B emergency contmceptive pills to
women. Because those under
18 still need a prescription,
pharmacies stock morningatier pills behind the counter
and check identification.
NARAL, which fights for
reproductive rights, is pushing pharmacies to stuck Plan
B and to write policies ensuring that it will be made available.

Challenges come with being named after MLK
When some customers
learn his name, they look
at him sadly, figuring such
a name should have made
for a better career.
"It's kind of like having
that brother who you need
to achieve more than or do
just as much," King said.
"But you never met him or
lived in his environment to
see how he did it"
He added, "It's hard to
win a race coming from the
rear, then running a race
with the name Martin
Luther King is rough."
Still, he credits the name
with keeping him from
falling into some of the
traps that landed his
fri ends in graves and
prison cells.
''It kept me safe in an
environment
where
I
should have been swallowed up," he said. " How
Llo you not go to church
and love the Lord with the
name Martin Luther King''
"I wanted to know why
he was so l?eaceful."
. A trip wuh his wife last
year helped. They went to
the King Center for
Nonviolent Social Change
in Atlanta.
He accepts the greatness
of the name, and its novelty. His daughter, Amber.
12, has begged him to go
to her school to prove to
classmates that Martin
Luther King is her father.
He also feel s a responsibility. Someday. he said, he
wants to start an urban
ministry to help youths
through poverty.
EMBRACING
THE NAME
Even living with the
name tucked into his own
has been a challenge for
34-year-old
Abraham
Martin Luther King Jr.
His grandmother Sarah
Lee Brown marcheu with
.'
King; his father's first
name is Abraham.
Classmates teased him
about his name. It became
something of a secret that
only . those close to him
knew.
His teachers glossed over
the c ivil -rights leader's
contributions; he had no
real idea why the man and
the name were important.
"All we heard was the 'I
Ha ve a Dream' speech and
(that) he was assassinated," King said. When he
turned 18. his mother
agreed to have his Social
Security card changed to
read" Abraham Martin
King Jr."
But as he learned more
about the civil-rights
movement , he came to
embrace lhe name. He had
it restored to hi s Social
Security card when he was
27. '
"As a black person, I felt
I had a strong name, a
responsibility to live "I? to
it," said Abraham Kmg,
who live s on the south
side.
An amateur actor and
filmmaker, he is working
on a documentary examining progress since the King
era.
For the past five years,
said Abraham, a qualityassurance verifier for a
marketing firm, he has
taken a vacation day on the
King holiday "to remember and give thanks that we
have the rights we do have,
which people take for
granted on a daily basis."
SHARING
A BIRTHDAY
For almost 20 years,
Barbara Chellis ' ·birthday
started with an early-morning greeting.
"I had a dear friend who
knew my birthday was on
Jan . 15," said Che llis. who
is white. "The first thin~
she would say when sh"
called me was, ' Happy
Martin Luther King Jr..'s
birthday. "'
,
This is the fourth time
the Monday hoi iday has
fallen on King and Chellis'
birthday since it was first
observed in 1986. FQr
both , it's the 78th .
Chellis remembers well
the racial strife that Kill~
and others have worked to
overcome.
The east side resident
grew up irr Detroit. In t~e
1940s, when she was &
child, race riols erupted in
the city and angry nw\ls
were "burning cars, houl;:
es, people ."
"They were bad for all (l(
us, the blacks as well as the
whites ," Chellis said. ''I
have never witnessed a~
thing like that again , an· I
am glad for that. Peop. e
are
working
togetfi!'r
peacefully" today.
··
The King holiday is a
of
·social
reminder
progress, Chellis said. al)d
of the injustice that still
exists .
"I know there is still iension, I'm not foolish. Rut f
think most people see all \lf
our problems and not ju,sr
black and white."
Jan. 15 is also special' ror
Chellis because it's the 'day
her granddaughter Me.e
Livingston was born. This
year, the two will spend tile
holiday at a family dinner.
For Mae, a seventh-gra(l•
er at St. Catharine SthOQII
sharing a birthday with
King is an honor.

ROCK SPRINGS - If
there was a Golden Globe
award for best defensive performance in a tirst half - that
would have gone to the Meigs
Lady Marauders.
Point
Meigs stymied
Pleasant, holding the Lady
Knights to just five poinl~ over
the ftrst two quaners, and then
held on for a 40-27 ~iris high
school basketball vtctory on
Monday at Larry R. Morrison
Gymnasium.
Unlike many at the annual
awards show, though, the Lady
Mamudeni were not runaway
winners like the tinal score
may imply. Instead Meigs was
able to answer all of Point
Pleasant's second half buckets
with a key stop or score of its
own - never letting the visitors closer than six.
Point Pleasant, on the
strength of three-point shooting, was able to pull to within
single digits on four occasions
in the second half Trista
VanMatre nailed llack-to-back
threes early in the third quarter
and Anna Sommer made a free
throw to make the score 18-12.
· But Meigs (7-7) C'lffiC back
with five straight points to
push the advantage back into
double digits. Point's Liz
Somerville hit a three while
being fouled as time expired
- again pulling the Lady
Knights to within eight (2517).
Meigs' Catie Wolfe and
Point 's
Devin
Cotrill
exchanged buckets to start the
fourth stanza, but it wa~ Mei~s
that scored eight of the game s
next II points to go up by 13 at
35-22 with 2:30 to play. Point
got to within 10 with less than
a minute to play, but no closer.
Wolfe paced Meigs with II
points followed by Amy Barr
with eight and Meghan
Clelland with six. Cayla Lee
and Brittany Preast both had
four, Amber Burton three and
Whitney Smith two.
Sommer had 10 for Point
Pleasant, now 4-6 on the year,
while VanMatre linished with
eight Jessica Powell went for
four, Somerville three and
Cotrill two.
Point Pleasant picked up a
30-26 victory in the reserve
contest Sydney Walton scored
eight poinl~ for the winners
while Adrian Bolin's 10 points
paced Meigs.
Meigs begins a stretch of
three consecutive Tri-Valley
Conference Ohio contests
Thursday at Nelsonville-York.
After those three, Meigs and
Point Pleasant will meet again
on Jan. 29.
Point plays host to Poca on
Jan. 22.

re,umptiun uf a lung-standing basketball rivalry that
has lain dormant for more

renewed Tuesday evening
when the Point Pleasant Big
Blacks and the Wahama
White Falcons re sume their
Mason County hardwood
series with a 7:30 p.m.
encounter on the campus of
the Bend Area School.
Previously the two neighboring schoo ls competed
against one-another for 24
consecutive years beginning
with the 1975-76 basketball
season and ending with the
1998-99 cage campaign.
During that span Point
Pleasant, playing as a Class
AAA team, dominated the
series with its Class A companions by winning 38 of
the 48 hardwood encounters.
However, de spite the
huge edge in winning percentage by the Big Blacks,
most of the inter-county
contests were closely fought
affairs that were played
before packed houses. Point

Ginn, Pinman 1
BY JOE MHJCIA
~SOCIAT£0 'f>llESS
AKRON - Ted Ginn Jr.,
Ohio State's game-breaking
return man and wide receiver,
and tailback Antonio Pittman
said Monday they will leave
the Buckeyes a year early to
enter the NFL draft.
Ginn and Pittman join wide
reL-eiver Anthony Gonzalez,
who announced last week
that he would give up his
final season of eligibility to
tum pro.
"It was a hard, tough decision," Ginn said in a phone
interview. "It was just a great
time for me to go."
Ted Ginn Sr. said the family struggled through the
weekend with mixed emotions about missing Ginn's
senior season, in the end
deciding going pro was the
best financial decision.
"Not being able to see your
son come out of that tunnel in
the Ohio State atmosphere,
that's major for us," said
Ginn's father, who was his
coach at Glenville High
School in Cleveland.
"He didn't feel like he had
completed the things he
should have completed at
Ohio State," Ginn Sr. said.
Ginn sprained his ankle
while celebrating after he
returnc:d the opening kickoff
for a touchdown in the
Buckeyes' 41-14 loss to
Aorida in the BCS national
championship.
But Ginn's dazzling speed
is expected to make him a
first-round pick in the NFL
draft, even though he's likely
to miss the combine because
his left foot will be in a boot
for three to five weeks, Ginn
Sr. said.
Ohio State coach Jim
Tressel called Ginn. Pittman
and Gonzalez "great play
makers and teammates" and
said any NFL team would be
lucky to have them.
"We are fortunate at Ohio
State to attract elite student
athletes. With that excellence
comes opportunities. We
know Ted Ginn Jr., Antonio
Pittman
and
Anthony
Gonzalez will be very successful at the next lev.el and
that they will end up being
graduates of Ohio State,
because all three have
assured us that graduation is
one of their goals." Tressel
said in a statement.
· Pittman announced his
intention at a news conference at Buchtel High School
in Akron.
Ranked by players from
high school's football team,
he called playing in the NFL
and possibly being a firstround draft pick a lifelong
dream.
Losing Ginn, Pittman and
Gonzalez leaves Ohio State
without three of its top offensive weapons. The Buckeyes
are also losing Hei sman
Trophy winning quarterback
Troy Smith to graduation.
"We had a ~reat year one loss don t take away
from a great year," Pittman
said. "This is a decision that's
~oing to affect my family, not
JUSt my family here, but my
family at Ohio State."
Pittman earlier in the season had said be would play
his senior year and attempt to
bring the Heisman back to
Buchtel.
He said providing for his 5month-old daughter was one
of his motivations for turning
pro.
"Coming from around
here, this neighborhood, it's
not easr growing up," he
said. "It d be great to get her
out ofhere."
Ginn teamed with Smith,
his former Glenville teammate, to tum the Buckeyes
into one of the most explosive offenses in the nation.
Yet he was expected by many
to star on defense when he
was recruited. Ginn was
USA Today's national high
school defensive· player of
the year in 2003.
"I always wanted to P.lay
for the Browns if possible,
but if not, just go where I can
go," Ginn -said Monday.
Ginn came to Ohio State as
a defensive back but was
CLASSIFIED
switched to offense soon
after Tressel saw his breathtaking speed during early
season workouts.
His freshman year, he
returned four punts for touchdowns to set school and Big
Ten season records. He
· scored on one punt return
each of the next two years to
set the Ohio State and conference career marks with six
scores.
Ginn's BCS national championship game kickoff return
was the second such touchdown return of his career.
In his college career he had
25 touchdowns, averaging
more than 50 yards on them.
A 6-0, 180-pounder from
Cleveland, Ginn had caught a
pass in 31 consecutive games
before his title-game injury
ended that string.
Ginn played quarterback,
wide receiver, running back
and defensive back and
returned punts and kickoffs
in high school. He was also a
national champion in the I 10
high hurdles as junior and
recorded the fastest time in
the nation as a senior.
Pi.itman, who often was
overlooked on an offense featuring Smith and Ginn,
rushed for 1.171 yards and 13
touchdowns last season, a
year after going for 1,331
yards and seven scores.
Pittman is one of only five
Ohio State backs to top 1.000
yards rushing in consecutive
seasons. The others are
Archie Griffin (1973-75),
Tim Spencer ( 1981-82),
Keith Byars (1983-84) and
Eddie George ( 1994-95).
The Buckeyes must fill
many holes on offense before
the opener on Sept. I against
1-AA Youngstown State.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH
Assistant head coach Russ
Grimm has emerged as the
front-runner
for
the
·Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching
job, a search that was narrowed to three finalists
Monday after offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt left
for Arizona.
The Steelers identified
Grimm, a Pittsburgh assistant for six years, and defensive coordinators Mike
Tomlin of the Minnesota
Vikings and Ron Rivera of
the Chicago Bears as the
finalists. Georgia Tech coach
Chan Gailey is no longer
being considered.
Grimm and Whisenhunt
were believed to be the
Steelers' top choices to
replace Bill Cowher since
the search began Jan. 5, but
Whisenhunt will be introduced Tuesday as the
Cardinals' coach. He accept·
ed the job Sunday, apparently without the Steelers making a counteroffer to keep
him.
Also Tuesday, Tomlin will
be interviewed by Pittsburgh
for a second time. Grimm's
second interview will be
Wednesday, while Rivera
cannot speak to the Steelers
again until the Bears are

apart during the 1995-96
season. After defeating the
White Falcons by a 102-65
decision in the frrst meeting
of the year the Big Blacks
needed a strong rally at the
end to claim a much closer
57-49 affair in the rematch a
week later.
Long-time Poiill Pleasant
coach Lennie Barnette and
the late coach Lewis Hall of
Wahama coached for the
majority of the 24-year
rivalry before the series
ended with the 1998-99 season. Since the interruption,
two new participants will
lead their respective teams

eliminated from the playoffs.
"We are pleased with the
progress of our search to
date," Steelers president Art
Rooney II said Monday in a
statement issued by the team.
"We now will move into the
second interview phase and
we are confident that each of
the candidates on our short
list will be excellent head
coaches in the NFL. It is our
task to determine which one
is the best candidate for the
Pittsburgh Steelers at this
point in time.
"Our time frame remains
as it was in the beginning,"
he added. "We will conclude
the search when we have
found the best coach for the
Pittsburgh Steelers."
Since Cowher resigned
after 15 seasons, the Steelers
have been determined not to
rush into hiring a new coach.
They have had two coaches
in 38 years - and both were
Super Bowl winners - and
they didn't want to hastily
fill what traditionally is the
most stable coaching job in
pro sports.
That diligence may have
cost them Whisenhunt, who
was widely considered
around the NFL to be
Cowher's heir apparent.
Grimm also interviewed
with the Cardinals but,
unlike Whisenhunt, did not
get a second interview. The
Steelers also received permission to meet with
Houston Texans assistant
head coach Mike Sherman,
the other finalist in Arizona,
but never scheduled an interview with him.
Tomlin had an excellent
interview with the Steelers
last week and, like Cowher
was in 1992, is an on-the-rise
candidate despite being only
34 and having minimal experience as an NFL coordinator. Tomlin took over the
Vikings' defense this season.
Gailey, the Steelers' offensive coordinator in 1996 and
'97 and Dallas· head coach
for two seasons, was recommended to Rooney by
Cowher. However, they didn't bring him back for a second interview after meeting
with him Saturday in
Pittsburgh.
Hiring Grimm would provide the Steelers continuity
from one coaching regime to
another and would allow
them to keep most of their
assistant coaches. All are
under contract for next season, but a coach hired from
outside the organization
would likely want to choose
his own staff.
Even if Grimm takes over,
Whisenhunt's departure is
expected to create some
into the rival affair with Winfield on two occasions.

changes in the Steelers'
offense.
Whisenhunt may take
quarterbacks coach Mark
Whipple with him as offensive coordinator, meaning
the two coaches who have
most closely worked with
quarterback
Ben
Roethlisberger the last three
seasons would be gone.
Such a move would clear
the way for receivers coach
Bruce Arians to become the
offensive coordinator, but
the former Temple coach did
not work daily with
Roethlisberger as Whipple
and Whisenhunt did.
During an ESPN appearance Sunday, Roethlisberger
said he hoped an offensive
coach
would
replace
Cowher.
"We just want a winner to
come in, someone that's
going to command all of our
re~pect,~' he said.
The 47-year-old Grimm, a
Pittsburgh-area native and
former Pitt star, would
appear to meet that criteria.
A three-time Super Bowl
winner as a Redskins offensive lineman, Grimm is a
finalist for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame and has clearly
had the respect of the
Steelers' players in his sil\
seasons as an assistant with
them. He was a Redskins

There are strong indications you could
unexpectedly get involved in a very
unique endeavor or enterprise. It will be
something you never thought would hap·
pen, but you'll love being involved when
It does.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Don't
keep yo urself so rooted that you are
reluctant to disca rd old , unworkable
methods for betler procedures - even il
it means switching horses in midsti'Eiam.
It'll prove fortunate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20·Feb. 19) Someone you treated considerately in
the past will oet a sudden chance lo
reciprocate In ways you would nsver
expect. The moment will be what this
person was wa iti ng for.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Because
you'll recognize a winning idea when you
hear one , 11 behooves yo u to communi·
cate and/or socialize with as many peo ple as possible. especially the progres .sive thi nke rs.
ARIES (March 21·April 19) - it you 'IEI
alert, you'll sense that you have a slight
edge over you r co mpetition in your work
or career. Once yo u realize this, make
your move quicKly. Time is not your ally.
TAURUS (April 20·May 20) - An associ ate who is tar afield from where your
education iS concerned could surprisingly play a constructive role in your affairs.
GEMINI (May 21 ·June 20) - WheiEI a
joint endeavor is concerned, an exciting
day may be in the orting . Something
e11traordinary involving your career might
suddenly develop that'll please everyone
connected.
CANCER (June 21 -July 22) - Under

better when we take lots ot time to ponder the direction we take. bUt It may be

most eHective.
LEO (July 23- Aug. 22) - Because you
are In a favorable cyde wilh your 1inan·
cial affairs, be alert and ready to move
quiCk\~ on an unexpected deiMiopmant
that could yield a prolit.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You may be
more Inclined to react to unexpected

Pua
This week, we are looking at
balancing . One ol a suit has been
opened on our lart and two passes have
followed . What do our various calla
mean? In partk:u~r. how do they di1ter
from actions taken in the second position, immediately over the opening bid?
YeSierday. I mentioned thai
a simple balancing overcall rna~ be
made two or three points lighter than
normal. But beto.-e acting, consider whal:
the opponents might do when given a
second chance. Meny years ago In •
national team championship with both
sides vu lnerable, I had an 11-counl with
2· 1·5·5 distribution. My lert·hand opponent's one-spade opening was passed
around to me. AI ihe other table. the
player wilh my cards sensibly passed. I
balanced. The opener rebid in hearts,
ar<l h~ partner bid tour hearts, which
made with an overtrK:k. This cost my
team the match.
Moving on, a one-no-trump
overcall in the second position is strong.
Bul in the tou~h position n is weak,
showing about tl-14 points - like the
Soulh hand in loday's deal. And nolo
North ·s pass. Opposite a strong notrump, he would jump to game, but not
opposite a weak no-trump.
West leads the hean queen.
Declarer has four top trieD: two hearts
ar<ltwo clubS. ct>viousty, he mus1 play
on diamonds. And since 1he bidding
marks West with the ace. South should
lake thelirst 01 secord hean in his hand,
then p~y a d~mond to <tummy's queen
Declarer continues with a tow diamond
from the board, pOiying low hom his
her<!. Here. West has to win wnh h~
ace, giving South sewn tricks.
