But this fall a 32x48 building, an annex to the garage, was erected on the vacant lot at the comer of Park and Page Streets. right next to the ~villa~e gara'2e. Don Hysell. field~upen isor for the village st:eet department. said that last week the building was approved for storage use b) the state inspector and this week the equipment was moved in. for many years the old Park Street School building, long ,•acant and not suitable for any use, occupied that corner lot. Last year it was tom down so that the viJlage could erect the storage facility. The building is no\v home to generators ~·hich are used by the village to keep the sewer and power systems humming along during outages. It also houses a large le~f scavenger. a jackhamer With an air compressor. a wood chipper. and a flat bed trailer used to transport mowers and weedeaters used in kecpi~g the 'illage well groomed 111 summer.

If new infonnation \vould become available. investigators could revisit the case again."

There is nothing more irritating than loaning something out that never comes back and is just "lost," so you now must replace it. But the fact that you are willing to buy things for his use should tell you that you are indeed not selfish. If he makes you feel that way, it does not enhance his reputation for being generous! The fact that he is willing to part with anything could signal not only a generous spirit. but also a rather careless one that doesn't value material goods. That's fine if you're a millionaire who can afford to throw away perfectly good things! In terms of the mail. most people follow an unwritten code that mail should be opened only by the addressee. Unless you have left instructions for him to open anything that may be a check. I wouldn't say you were being selfish. Just prudent. For if the check were to go the way of your serving tray or your hammer, I'd say there'd be several people who would end up as unhappy campers. So don't feel guilty, and set up some boundaries and ground rules for you and your boyfriend. If he tries to call you selfish, redefine yourself as being simply responsible.

Thought for Totlay: "No one worth possessing can be quite possessed." - Sara Teasdale, American author and poet (1884-1933). 0 Unity Tree) 0 Unity Tree BY DR. PAUL KENGOR 'Tis the season .... That is, to not refer to the Christmas Season as the ''Christmas Season." Of course. that's old news. Rut what's new news. or recent news. is the bewildering refusal in some quarters to call a Christmas tree a "Christmas tree." Unfortunately. this isn "t new to those of us from the Pittsburgh area. On that, J'd like to enlighten folks around the country. hopefully providing some exposure to something that merits national ridicule. Each year. the Cit) of Pittsburgh kicks off the "Holiday Season" with its "Light Up Night." The crowning touch (for almost a half century) is the lighting of the Christmas tree. This wonderful tradition connects Pitts burghers to the roots of their parents and grandparents. For me, however, as a native Pittsburgher and a Christian. the moment has been spoiled: the Christmas tree is no longer called "the Christmas Tree." No. it is called "the Unity Tree." Seriously, I'm not making this up. Outsiders will recoil or laugh hysterically at the thought, but it"s true and has been for quite a while now. There's a curious thing about the Unity Tree. which always~baffles me: It only comes out at Christmas time. Why is that? Well. we know the unspoken reason - the same reason that's the reason for the season: Because the Unity Tree is a Christmas tree. And what could be more offensive to Clu·i:;tians than some anonymous power renaming their tree. and expecting them to accept this politically correct delusion in silent acquiescence') · I would never, for instance, dare insult my Jewish friends by refusing to call a Menorah anything but a Menorah. or demand a public renaming. I respect them, their faith. and the symbols of their faith. Al"tually, I can c-.en see the rationale in calling the ··christmas Season" the "Hoflday Season," given that other faiths indeed share the season. and. further. given that the season generally encompasses holidays beyond Christmas. such as Thanksgiving and New Year's. I don't like it. but l can see it. But how can you call a Christmas tree anything but a Christmas tree? It isn't right to take the most common symbol of the season. found in every household that celebrates Christmas, and demand it be called something else. It disunites Christians from a unifying symbol that bonds them across their wide-ranging differences and denominations. And aside from the -,piritual aspec't. it isn't right from a technical standpoint. Overall. It entmls gomg out of the way to arrogantly rename something you ha\e no right to rename. Yet, this is what happen~ every year in Pittsburgh - at Christmas time. Whether the ne\\ -speak architects realiLe it or not. thev have - in the name of unity - affi·onted Christians during their special time. Of course. all of that is obvious. It has outraged me for year-.. And yet. that said. on further reflection, I've recently come to think that the name change is not so bad. Consider: ~ First, this year's Unity Tree has a sponsor. the healthcare company Highmark. It has been rechristened the "Highmark Unit) Tree ... Well. on further reflection. the concept of a business sponsor is fitting. Commercialism has hijacked the religious holiday. Spending money buying things is the chid devotion for Americans this time of year. Far more deliberation is done in ~tares shopping than in churches praying. As a Chri~tian. I must concede this truth. Hence, it seems appropriate that the Unity Tree is ele' ated nearer Black Friday than 'Christmas morning. It honors not Jesus Christ but materialism. The l;pon:-.or of the Christmas tree is Christ: the sponsor of the Unity Tree is business. No argument from me. Second, "unity" is a synonym for ''diversity." Had those· who divined "Unity Tree·· suffered more time in our unh er-;ities, they would have des~ ignated it the "Diversity Tree:· which. incidentally. would have been a boon for tourism. drawing liberals everyw·here in an annual pilgrimage to the Steel City. (The mayor's office blew that one.) Among the American left and campus community in particular. diver:-.ity is not only the buzzword but the central object ol homage~ it is the contemporary babe in the manger. Of course. needle:-.s to sa}. excluding Christ from Christmas is not • act of diversity. It excludes. n includes. This is the ongoing frau perpetuated by "diversity's'" disciples. Third. barrinu ·'Chrisf' from the tree is a tribute~ to secularism. What else is the Unity Tree, really. but a monument to secularism? In sum. what we have 'vvith the Unity Tree is a tree that honors not Christ but ~ecularism, commercialism, and the sham that is '"diversity." If you think about it. this unholy trioit) r:-. truly "'hat Christmas has become. Yes. Pittsburgh has a symbol alright - an image that stands apart from Christ. separated from Christ. Maybe the do-gooders never intended that. But. hey, once you remove Christ from His place. it's a sljpper) slope. ~Ien·y Christmas. everyone.

It's not a reflection of creativity," said Abare, of the nonprofit Center for Church Commumcation Ill Los Angeles. Trademark attorney Michael G. Atkins of Seattle said legal parodies of commercial trademarks are protected under the First Amendment, but such religious products generally don't fall into that category. "You could take Microsoft and , change their logo around to make fun of Microsoft. and that would be 'legal." he said. "But I can't use the 'Microsoft logo to promote my Christian theme because there's no real connection there. That's illegal." Marjorie Koval of the Association for Christian Retail said it's hard to say how much of the Christian merchandise market is made up of parody items. The gift and specialty sector, which includes apparel, comprises about one-third of the industry's total sales, she said. It's also impossible to say how many manufacturers produce such merchandi e: An)one with a screen A lting machine and a computer can Wke a T-shirt design.

The design is one of many used by the Kerusso company that parodies logos of popular products and television shows Mark Humphrey/AP photo Matt Jaggers, the manager of the Lifeway Christian Store in Nashville, Tenn., holds up a shirt which has the phrase "God is my hero" in the likeness of the logo for the popular video game "Guitar Hero." The design is one of many used by the Kerusso company that parodies logos of popular products and television shows. Kerusso 's Abercrombie & Fitch copycat is labeled a "classic'' on its Web site. Kerusso CEO Vic Kennett said he occasionally gets complaints from companies whose logo are parodied, and Kerusso generally changes those designs or discontinues merchandise. Kerusso altered its red "Jesus Christ - Eternally Refreshing" T-shirt after Coca-Cola complained the design too close!\· re~embled its well-known ~cript logo. But other de igns that might raise lawyers· eyebrows actually are le~al. Kerusso licensed the "iPra)" de 1gn from a Chicago organization that sought and recci\ed a trademark for the word. he ::.aid.

We arc in the middle of the most wonderful time of the year. Why'? Because it is th~ time where many arc in the middle of a celebration. Some celebrate Christmas while others celebrate Hanukkah. If you arc like us. in our family we celebrate both. That's right, both! You might be wondering if ''e're partially Jewish. Well. no. not by our· original birth. Ju t this pa t Sunday we taught in our church the true meaning of Hanukkah. I believe that it is important for Christians to understand our roots. While.: Chrbtmas celebrates the birth of Christ. Hanukkah celebrates the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. To make a long story short \Vhen they started the dedication of the Temple in 164 BC by taking it away from the hands of Antiochus IV Epiphanies. the) lit the Menorah, or the nine branch candlestick. with enough oil to last for one day. This celebration la~ted eight days. To their urpri e the menorah stayed lit for the entire eight da)s \\Jth only on day worth of oil. This was the mimcle of the menomh. This candlestick was also referred to as the light of the Y.orld. In John 8:12 Jesus said:" ... I am the light of the world . He \\ho follow::. Me shall not wulk in darkness, but have the light of life:· Again in John 10: 22-39 Jesus went into the Temple f'east of during the Dedication or Hanukkah as it was his cw.tom. lntercstin!! how Jesu~ celebrated Hanukkah, but he never celebrated Christmas (that would have to be another topic for another day). As Jesus is dealing with the Jews in the Temple He begins to describe His oneness with the Father and how he is the personification of the temple and the vel) fea::.t they were celebrating. Also, ho\\ He is the personification of the Menorah. In this discour~e. they understood what He was talking about. This celebration of the dedication of the temple was and still is one of joy for the Jewish people. This feast was a big deal for them. The temple was all they had to worship God in. Interesting how the Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 6: 16 said: ''And what agreement has Pastor Alex Colon the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has ~aid: •·t v.III dwell in them and walk among them. I will be the1r God, and they shall be my people:· ln other words, Jesus still celebrates Hanukkah except inside of us because those of us who have believed and received Him as Savior and Lord, have become H i~ Temple and His light (menorah) is inside of us for the world to see and for our lives to live in the light and not in darkness. In addition to th1s grent thought . it is behe,ed. based on research. that Jesus wa... conceh ed in or around Dec. 25. Of course we know that He was not born on December. but rather durin!! one of the fall fea~ts. \\hich makes His conception around the 25th of December. So the Licht of the World was concch';ed in December or the month of Kislev, which in Hebraic traditions. your first year begins the moment of conception and not the day you arc actually bom. Therefore. once again. God. through man's traditions has tried to reach the world \\ ith the mes.;age of the gospel almost mixing the celebration of the dedication of the temple and Christmas into one continual celebration - the conception. light and dedication of the temple. Thank God for the dedication of the Temple. Thank God for the miracle of the .Menorah. and Thank God for the conception, birth. death. and resurrection of our savior Jesus the Christ. · Regardless of which fe~ ­ tivity you celebrate, let it be one·of Joy! Joy to the World. the Lord is come. Let eruth receive her king to light the world with truth and grace. Make it a great Joyful Season~ (Alex Co/On is pastor of Lighthouse Assembly of God in Gallipolis. On the Internet: www.Jagohio.org.)

COLUMBUS (AP) Travelers in six Ohio cities can now use Twitter feeds to get updates on winter-related traffic problems. State transportation officials announced the pilot project Thursday. Officials will post Twitter updates whenever icy or snowy conditions impact travel on major highways in Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo. Ohio joins a growing number of states that are using Twitter to post traffic information. But officials strongly discourage motorists from attempting to read the messages while driving. Transportation Director Jolene Molitoris said there were 44,700 crashes on Ohio's roads last winter. Meigs County Forecast • Friday...Mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 40s.

Each time a baby is born at PVH, a musicbox version of Brahm's Lullaby will play on the overhead paging system. When a baby is on the way, the family is filled with expectations. They expect every stage of the birthing experience, from preconception counseling through postpartum visits and childcare education, to proceed smoothly and professionally. Even more important, they expect the hospital staff to show that they care and are willing to do whatever is necessary to make the experience a pleasant one. Pleasant Valley Hospital is proud to offer single room maternity care. This unique concept in child birthing allows mothers to experience labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum care all in the privacy and comfort of a beautifully decorated, spacious birthing suite, eliminating the need to be moved from room to room. Each PVH nurse is certified in the Neonatal Resuscitation Program and has received extensive training in the care of mothers and babies. The specia1ly trained personal care maternity nurse wilJ be with each family every step of the way, from labor through postpartum. And for that extra special touch ... all infants born at PVH receive a crocheted "Made with Love" hat, which is knitted by volunteers.

M . ~ Chris Henry dies day after dispute CHARLOTTE. N.C. (AP) - Chris Henry was ·no stranger to trouble. Indeed, his multiple arrests during a five-year .NFL career were among the factors prompting the league to toughen its per.sonal conduct policy. But to hear his teammates tell it - even the team's owner - the Cincinnati Bengals receiver was determined to leave behind his troubled past and move ~head toward a bright future. Tragically, his efforts were cut short when he died from injuries in what police said was a domestic dispute with his fiancee. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said the 26-year-old ii;Ienry died early Thursda), 1less than 18 hours after he tell off of the back of a pickup truck on a curvy residential street about eight .miles northwest of down:town Charlotte. : The cause of death was ·not immediately released. ' Henry was away from the Bengals after suffering a season-ending broken forearm in a game last month. : "We knew him in a differ'ent way than his public persona," Bengals owner Mike :Brown said. "He had •worked through the troubles in his life and had finally .seemingly reached the point where everything was going to blossom. And he was ,going to have the future we :an wanted for him. It's ,painful to us. We feel it in 'our hearts, and we will miss •him." Bengals receiver Andre Caldwell said: "People thought he was a bad guy, but he had a big heart." Police released few details about the investigation. other than homicide detectives were assigned to the case. Two 911 tapes released Thursday and witnesses provided some clues. Neighbor Lee Hardy told WLWT-TV and The Cincinnati Enquirer that he :was working in his yard 'when the truck left the driveway. Hardy said Henry •was yelling that he needed jto talk to the woman behind :the wheel. • "He said, 'If you take off. 1I'm going to jump off the 'truck and kill myself,"' jHardy told the newspaper. · The first 9 I 1 tape was •from an unidentified :woman who said she was lfollowing a yellow pickup :truck. ; . "It's got a black man on it :with no shirt on, and he's ,got his arm in a cast and :black pants on," she told a dispatcher. ''He's beating on the back of this truck win idow.... I don't know if he's 'trying to break in or something. It just looks crazy. 'It's a girl driving it." . Just over a minute later, 'an unidentified man called 911 and said he saw a man "laying in the road" and '''definitely unconscious." spokeswoman , Police ,, Rosalyn Harrington wouldn't say if the woman, whom police would not identify, was present at the scene when police arrived. Henry and his 25-year-old fiancee Loleini Tonga, who grew up in Charlotte and received a volleyball scholarship to North Carolina A&T, were raising three children. Tonga's MySpace page identifies herself as "Mrs. C. Henrv" and featured a post from Tuesday talking about buying wedding rings. "We are greatly saddened by today's tragic news about the loss of Chris Henry." NFT , commissioner Roger Goodell said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris' family. including his Bengals family.'' Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said: "It's a very difficult thing with his loss and a young life and one that won't ever get to reach its full potential.'' Pol ice said the domestic dispute began Wednesday at a home about a half-mile away from where Henry was found. He had jumped into the bed of the pickup as his fiancee was driving away from the residence, and at some point when she was driving "came out of the back of the vehicle," authorities said. Two women who lived nearby said Thursday they sav,.. Tonga and the pickup at the scene when police arrived. Cheryl Hoffman said she came out with a blanket when she saw Henry wasn "t wearing a shirt. "When I got to where he was laying on the ground out thefe he was very unresponsive, laying flat on the ground." Hoffman said. "He was foaming at the mouth, and I was very worried what was happening then." When players received word Henry had died. quarterback Carson Palmer called them together in the locker room and said they should dedicate the game and rest of the season to Henry and the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. who died unexpectedly during the season. The Bengals will wear a helmet sticker Sunday against San Diego to remember Henry. and Goodell requested clubs observe a moment of silence before each game. "He was doing everything right," receiver Chad Ochocinco said. Henry grew up south of New Orleans in the suburban community of Belle Chasse and soon dreamed of playing in the NFL. But after he was ejected from a game and suspended for another at West Virginia, the Bengals were the only team to bring him in for a pre-draft visit in 2005 . Selected· in the third round, Henry played a vital role as a speedy, deep threat as Cincinnati reached the playoffs in his rookie season. But in the final month of the season he was arrested for marijuana possession. It was the first of five arrests, and Henry and former Tennessee cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones became known as the league's two most troublebound players. Goodell suspended both in 2007 Jones for a full season, Henry for half of it - as part of a toughening of the league's conduct policy. After Henry was arrested for a fifth time following that season on an assault charge, Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard called Henry "a one-man crime wave." He was released by the Bengals the same day. But Brown gave him a second chance. re-signing him before the 2008 season. "I kind of felt like I dug myself out of the hole and started doing the right things," Henry said in an interview with The Associated Press as training camp opened this season . "People say. 'How you feeling now Chris? You doing all right?' I just tell them I'm blessed. That's why I got it." A thigh injury slowed him early in the season, and he had 12 catches for 236 yards -his 19.7-yard average per catch leads the team - when he broke his left arm during a win over Baltimore. ending his season. "My grandma always says you never question the man upstairs on decisions he makes." Ochocinco said. "Everyone makes mistakes. but I don't see how Chris was supposed to go already, especially when he was on the right path. Other than that. he's going to be missed."

Friday, December 18, 2009 No deal, b_ ut Browns and Holmgren to talk again BEREA (AP) As Browns players dressed for practice on Thursday. defensive lineman Corey Williams began chanting. ''We want want Holmgren! We Holmrrren !'' Therr wait continues. Mike Holmgren left Cleveland on Wednesday ·ithout a contract to take over • s the Browns· director of football operations. Team spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz said money has not been discussed. despite reports that Holmgren could command upwards of $10 million a year. but that the two sides agreed to talk again in the coming days. Before Holmgren can be hired, the Browns would have to interview a minority candidate to comply with the NFL\ "Rooney Rule." ''We.'re aware of the rule." Bonsiewic.t said. ''So much so that we contacted the league office to make sure we're clear on it." Browns coach Eric Mangini wants his 2- 11 team to focus on Kansas Citv. Sunday's opponent. but all t11c buzz about Holmgren has clearly infiltrated the locker room. "Have they hired a ctar yet?" one player asked a group of repo1tcrs. pokin~ fun at the title that has ocen ass1gned to owner Randy Lemer's search for a ··serious. credible leader" to overhaul ~he Browns again. A few minutes later, \Villiams began shouting his unsolicited campaign. Williams has been vocal about his lack of playing time this se<tson. although injUiies have made him one of•the most productive players on defense in recent weeks. He had two sacks in the Browns· most recent game. a stunning upset of the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steclcrs. The list of available landing spots for the 61-year-old Holmgren was trimmed Thursday when Washington hired Bruce Allen as the team's oeneral manager an liour after Vinny Cerrato resigned as vice president of football operations.

NELSONVILLE-YORK NY Meigs 3 22 8 8 17 10 13 16 - 41 Something special about Big Ten and Rose Bowl COLUMBUS (AP)- Up until 1975, there was the Rose Bowl and nothing else for Big Ten teams. The conference champion - or. in the case of one infamous tie, the team selected as its representative - was the only fortunate squad that did not pack up its equipment in late November and try to hibernate through a long, cold winter in the Midwest. "When I got (to the Rose Bowl) my senior year, J was very thankful," former Buckeyes and NFL offensive lineman Jim Lachey said of his trip in 1984. ''I was glad I got a chance to go to the Rose Bowl because there were some guys who didn't get that opportunitY. who played before me." From 1901. when Michigan beat S tan f ord 4 9 0, to 1974, when Southern California edged Ohio State 18-17, no Big Ten team played in any bowl game other than the Rose. A Jot of very good teams who had come up short by a yard or a point had to stay home and listen on the radio or watch on television while another team went to the land of movie stars, palm trees and Disneyland. A case in point is the 1973 Michigan team which went I 0-0-1, outscored opponents 330-68 and was in the top five in the rankings all year - but tied Ohio State 10-10 in the regular-season finale. In a 6-4 vote by the Big Ten's athletic directors a day later, the rival Buckeyes and coach Woody Hayes received the conference's lone bowl bid and went to Pasadena. Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, an Ohio nativt! and former Hayes ~ ~oo~m­ \i!ITM lieutenant at Ohio State, never got over the slight. "It was the greatest disappointment of my career. Everybody, including Woody Hayes, congratulated me after the game and said, 'Oh, you'll do a great job in the Rose Bowl' and all that," a still angry Schembechler said four days before he died in 2006. "It was strictly a political thing. The whole thing upset me to no end. I think that team, that 1973 team, is the. reason that (the Big Ten is) playing in other bowl<~ today." The Big Ten voted to change its rules in 1975. More than three decades later, any team finishing .500 or better is eligible to go to a bowl. With that, and the arrival of the Bowl Championship Series, the Rose may have lost some of its luster. But make no mistake. it's still a prime destination for Big Ten teams. Lachey's Rose Bowl was also the only time that current Ohio State coach Jim Tressel ever made it to the Granddaddy of all Bowl Games. Tressel was an assistant under Earle Bruce in 1984, coaching the running backs and quarterbacks. To return to Pasadena is a step back in time for Tressel. "It'~ something that if you coach in the 13ig Ten or the Pac-10, it's certainly in front of you every day," he said this week during preparations for his Buckeyes' New Year's Day game against Oregon. "It's a goal that you want to be a part of the Rose Bowl. "Would there be something missing if you never got to go? I guess so." Tressel's father was a Hall of Fame head coach at Baldwin- Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. Lee Tressel's life revolved around coaching. After a season had ended and their dad was around the house more, the three Tressel sons relished the time spent with their dad. One of their favorite days of the year was New Year's Day. because they knew their father would want to watch the Rose Bowl and the rest of the college football lineup. It was a special day. "Oh, gosh, yeah,'' Jim Tressel said. "January 1st in our house, two blackand-white TVs set up side by side. and that old 30-pot coffee maker, that little silver thing. My dad never got off the couch, man. We were taking him coffee and switching stations. I mean, that was - shoot, you were living on January 1st." • These days the primary goal of all major college programs is to get to the BCS national championship game. After that, just about any bowl game in a warm climate will do. But the Rose Bowl still holds a special cachet in Big Ten country. "If you talk to our student-athletes, they are absolutely ecstatic about going to the Rose Bowl," Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee said earlier this week. "This is one of the great things about the Big Ten - our tradition is winning the Big Ten and going to the Rose Bowl.". 41 56 NELSONVILLE· YORK (1-4): Kelly Cox 5 0-0 12, Chelsey Martin 6 0-0 14.

(AP) The 2006 freshman class. led by player-of-theyear types Kevin Durant and Greg Oden, was considered one of the best in college basketball history. The next year, along . came Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, Eric Gordon, OJ. Mayo, Blake Griffin and Kevin Love. Everyone thought: Wow! Now that's GOT to be the best class ever. Hold on just a second. After relatively benign 2008 class - at least by standards of the previous two - this year's rookie crop has a chance to become the best yet. There's Xavier Henry leaping opponents m a single bound at top-ranked Kansas and John Wall doing it all at Kentucky. Texas point guard Avery Bradley has been tougher to catch than a hummingbird. and there's Tiny Gallon scoring and mindmg the basket at Oklahoma. Derrick Favors has used his pteradactyllike wing span to dominate at both ends for Georgia Tech. That's just the start with this year's class. And, thanks to the Internet and a game that seems to get younger every year, more like this could be on the way. "That class with Blake, Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Love, all those guys. that's best one I've seen.'' Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel said. "But this one's really good. There's been some really good classes and you're going to see it more and more." There was a time, not too long ago, when coaches rarely though of starting a freshman, much less make them the focal point of a team. In the days of Wilt Chamberlain, freshmen weren't even allowed to play. So when Pervis Ellison led Louisville to the 1986 national championship as a freshman, it was a Haley's Comet-like occurrence. When Carmela Anthony cut down, the nets with Syracuse in 2003, it was still treated with how'dhe-do-that awe. Even a few years ago, coaches were still worried about relying too much on players a few months removed from their senior proms. ·'You don't want to put a guy in a situation where he has never been through pressure and now if he doesn't perform well, he's a primary reason in most people's eyes - why your team isn't successful." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "There are exceptions." Wall is one. The 6-foot-4 guard has been an unstoppable, mesmerizing force so far this season. a blur who can go baseline to baseline wall to wall? - as fast as anyone in the game. He helped beat North Carolina, the hometown team that spurned him, then held an electrifying Garden party against Marshall fromPageBl dues." Holliday and Hamrick, who became M.arshall 's athletic director in July, have been longtime friends. When Hamrick was athletic director at East Carolina. he tried to hire Holliday but was overruled by his administrators and John Thompson was eventually hired. In 2005, before Snyder was hired, Holliday removed himself for consideration for the Marshall job. Marshall is a decade removed from its pinnacle. Led by quarterback Chad Pennington in 1999. the Thundering Herd went 12-0 • Connecticut at New York's famous arena. Wall averages I 8 .I points, 7.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 steals and at least two ankle-turning crossovers per game. ''There's nothing you can do about him," UNCAsheville's D.J. Cunningham said after Wall had 12 points and 14 assists in a Wildcats' rout. ''He does whatever he wants." So does Henry. The son of two former Jayhawks, Henry plays with the confidence of a veteran, stroking in 3pointers with ease. He leads the nation's No. J team at 18 points per game. is shooting 55 percent - mostly from the perimeter - a.nd recently leaped completely over Alcorn State's 6-foot-4 Keith Searcy, inducing a traveling call. The rest of the country captivated, Henry yawns. He expected to do this all along. "I just play within what our team does," Henry said after scoring 3 1 points in a rout over La Salle. "We have great big men, so it's easy points when we throw it inside. I just pick my spots.'' With ·so many other freshmen playing prominent roles this season, the exception is rapidly becoming the rule. Gallon is a shooting guard in a power forward's body. 6-foot-9, 296 pounds of touch and talent. He's averaging 11.9 points and 9.3 rebounds while trying to follow Capel's urgings to be more physical. Bradley has been a whirling dervish for the nation's No. 2 team and plays alongside another talented freshman, J'Covan Brown, Texas' third-leading scorer at 12.1 points per game. Favors and his 9-foot wingspan have overcome some early-game overeagerness to average 13.7 points. 8.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots for the 22nd-ranked Yellow Jackets. Then there's Washington ·s Abdul Gaddy, Syracuse's Brandon Triche, and Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins and Daniel Orton alongside Wall in Lexington. The list seems to go on and on. and the freshman fad isn't likely to end soon. Kids with even the slightest bit of talent are identified and. groomed from middle school. Television and the Internet make them stars before they Jearn to drive, help them understand pressure beyond playing in a dingy gym in front of two dozen people. There's little need for a. grace period when freshmen arrive on campus they're ready to go. "There's so much more exposure for these kids," Capel said. "The mindset of these guys is so much different than it was 10-1 ~ years ago." and finished No. 10 in The Associated Press final poll. Marshall won five straight bow 1 games from 19982002. This year Marshall lost three of its final four games and became bowl eligible on their third attempt in a 34-31 win over SMU. Defensive coordinator Rick Minter is the interim coach for Marshall (6-6) in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl in Detroit against Ohio on Dec. 26. Minter had expressed interest in the head coaching job. Among others to interview with Hamrick were Florida State assistant coach Rick Trickett and Butch Jones. the Central Michigan head coach who was hired Wednesday at Cincinnati to replace Brian Kelly. CINCINNATI. (A.P) For the second time 111 the1r breakthrough season, the Cincinnati Bengals arc dealing with death. Teary players held a somber practice Thursday and dedicated the rest of their season to receiver Chris Henry after )earning that he'd died a day after fallincr from the back of a pickup tmck: during what police described as a domestic dispute. Shocked players huddled by themselves in the locker room once they qot word that Henry had died at a ho!'>ital in Charlotte N.C. They P. · t . satd a group prayer. hen went out on the Paul Brown S d' f ld lk ta mm. te to. wa : through some ?f their pla~s for a~ upcommg game 111 San Otego. . No one said much. "It was tough," receiver Andre Caldwell said. "We were crying." Not the first time. either. The team was grief-stricken m October when Yikki Zimmer. the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, died unexpectedly at the couple's home. Three days later, Zimmer coached the defense in a 17-14 win in Baltimore that put them in control of the AFC North. Afterward, players teared up when Zimmer received the game ball. Losing a teammate hit the Bengals (9-4) evc.n harder on Thursday. leav1ng them in ho mood to get ready for a game on Sunday. They can clinch the division title and only their second playoff spot in the last 19 years with a victory. Players will a commcmorative No. 15 sticker on their helmet:-. and coaches will wear commemorative pins during the game. Henry's death was partieularly stunning to his teammates because he had put so much effort into changing his life in the last tv.·o years. Receiver Chad Ochocinco couldn't finish his plate of lunch - he dumped broccoli into a trash bin - and shuffled around the locker room slowly. Ochocinco sniffled and blinked back tears welling in his eyes when he rcmem':. bered how he'd talked to Henry on Tuesday night. catching up on things. Henry had been in Charlotte. where his fiancee's parents live, recovering from a broken arm that ended his season. ..He \vas doing everything right," Ochocinco said ...My grandma always says you never question the man upstairs on decisions he Everyone mistakes. but I don t see how Chris was s~pposcd to go already, esp~<.'lally w~~cn he was on the nght path.
