See Page Bl WESTMINSTER , Md. All three Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks seem to genuinely like each other, which makes for a rather friendly competition in their bid to claim the starting job. On the first day of training camp Tuesday, Kyle Boller, Troy Smith and Joe Fiacco spoke about working together to make Baltimore a better team. They insisted that the three-way duel would only serve to improve each of them in tiJe days leading up to the Sept. 7 opener against Cincinnati·. "Any way I can help Troy and Joe out, I'm going to do it," said Boller, whose 42 career starts is 40 more than the other two quarterbacks combined. Fiacco, the Ravens ' top draft pick in 2008 , sa id, "It's not anytiJing really against the other guy. We're able to come out here and practice and get along and talk to each other about what went "On during the plays·. So, I think it's a pretty good relationship." While fi rst-year coach John Harbaugh appreciates the tight friendship his quarterbacks have formed, he stres sed that congeniality will not be considered when it comes time to choose his stat1er. "It's not really a nice guy contest. We like nice guys, but it's a quarterback contest," Harbaugh said . And although Boll er, Smith and Fiacco uttered all the right thing s Tuesday, even though Boller started as a rookie in 20()3. In hindsight , the Raven s believe Boller might . have matured quicker had iJe launched his career as a backup. "I would have to say it hurt him. It retarded his development because he never got a chance to really learn," Newsome said. "He had to play. TiJere is a way you have to be developed. We were a pretty good team asking him to do - some things not to hurt the football team, and that's a hard way to play,'' . · Said Boller: "I got great game experience. I'm not the type of person that looks at the past. I played, I learned a lot and now I'm going into my sixth year. We'll see what iJappens. I'm not going to say one can or one guy can't." . The winner of the competitian will probably be the one who best grasps offensive coordinator's Cam Cameron's co.mplex attack and proves he can protect the football while under duress. ~ In that regard, each quarterback is starting on even footing, because Catneron's offense is vastly different from the one deployed by former head coach Brian Billick. . "h's like night and day," Smith said. That's one reason w·hy Boll er, Smith and Fiacco feel like they're in this together. "This is too challe'nging of an offense to be thinking only of yourself," Smith said. "It has to be about . team.'' . BY BRIAN CINCINNATI - Coach Marvin Lewis emphatically closed the door Tuesday on the possibility of receiver Chris Henry rejoining the Cincinnati Ben gal s. The Benga ls released Henry in April after he was arrested for the fifth time. and the NFL has suspended him indefinitely. Hi s court case ended in a mi strial and prosecutors dropped the charges, prompting Henry to seek rei nstate ment and a chance to play in the NFL again . Lewis said it won't be witiJ the Bengals. "I'm · not interes ted," t..ewis told repo rters Tuesday, before the team: s an nual preseason luncheon. "I don't th ink it would be productive for our football team. You have to be a productive pan to be an NFL player, and there's responsibilities to being an NFL player. It 's a privilege, it 's not a right. There-'s a lot th at co mes with being an NFL football player." TiJe 25-year-o ld Hen ry was suspended for the fi rst eight games last season for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policies. · He played in tiJe last eight games, bu ~ had only 21 catches for 343 yards and a ' . pair of touchdowns as the No . 3 receiver. The Bengals weren 't pleased with hi s performance on the field after he returned, but were prepared to give him a-chance 10 keep hi s roste r · spot. They released him after he was accused of punching a University of Cincinnati student and breaking hi s car window with a beer bottle in April. TiJe jury couldn 't reach a verd ict on an assau lt charge, re sulting in a mistrial. Prosecutors decided to drop the case after a judge ruled against the m on se veral motions just before the retrial was sciJeduled to stan this month. The Bengals also released linebacker Odell Thurman in the offseason, after iJe was reinstated froni his twoyear suspension by the NFL. It marked a change in policy for the Bengals. who had repeatedl y give n players OBITUARIES ..

Village workers began · removing the trees and other limbs ·blown down at the cemetery on Tuesday but a professional tree trimmer will likely be needed to finish the job and avoid toppling nearby tombston-es. The village is checking to see if Jnsurance will cover replacement of the gazebo.
