While • the door to Cooperstown swun g open for Cal Ripken . J r. and Tony Gwy nn on Tuesday. McGwire was picked by less than a 4uarter of voters - a result that mise• doubts about whether Barry Bonds. Sammy Sosa or other sluggers from baseball 's Steroids Era will ever gain entry. McGwire. whose 5XJ home runs rank seventh on the career list. appeared on 12R of a record 545 ballots in voting released Tuesday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. "I hope that as time goes on, that number will increase," Gwynn said. " I hope that one day he will get into the Hall of Fame, because I reall y believe he deserves it. " The 23 .5 percent vote McGwire received represented the first referendum on how history will judge an age when bulked-up players came under suspiciOn of using perfonnance-enhancing drugs.

Gwynn. with an infectious laugh and smile. and Ripken, with cool profess ionalism, .were different on and off the tield. They both said they knew McGwire would take some attention from their elections, but while Gwynn was open with his opinion on Big Mac, Ripken was guarded. Ripken said Goose Gossage and Jim Rice belong in the Hall. but stayed away from whether McGwire should gain the honor. "I don't think it's my place to actually cast judgment." Ripken said. He also rejected Gwynn's assertion that steroid use was common knowledge. ·'J didn't know," Ripken said.

As the announcement apprm1ched. fans, players and manage rs voiced their views. Many voters said McGwire was hurt by his 2005 congressional testimony, when he repeatedly evaded questions. 'There's that big black cloud hanging over baseball with steroids," Gossage said. "It 's a shame. There are a lot of great players in that erd. Who knows what 's going to happen'?" Gwynn remembered the way McGwire "was able to really bring a town and u country together" when he hit a record 70 homers in 1998 - a mark Bonds broke when he hit 7J three years later. Gwynn predicted McGwire eventually will be elected. Jim Milner, McGwire's business representative. did not return telephone calls.

Russia and Belarus reached a compromise Wednesday on their dispute that has halted oil flows along a key pipeline to Europe after telephone talks between the two countries' presidents, the Belarusian presidency said. BY YURAS KARMANAU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MINSK , Belarus . Russi an oil began flowing again through a Belarusian pipeline late Wednesday. a top Belarusian oil official satd. resolving a dispute between the countries that had disrupted supplies to Eastern Europe as well to the former Soviet Republic. Alexei Kostuchenko, general director of pipeline concern GomeltransneftDruzhba, said Russian oil entered the Belarusian system around 10:30 p.m. local time (2030GMT) Wednesday, and was being pumped to Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. He did not give any details about the volume being moved . The spat between the t~o formerly close, ex-Sovtet republics showcased the Belarus regime's reliance on cheap Russian energy imports, and stoked doubts in European capitals about Russia and its dependability as an energy supplier. "The disruptions in. oil supplies have yet again Russia 's undermined efforts to establish itself as a reliable source of fuel supplies to . Europe ," Deutsche UFG analysts wrote in a note to investors. The dispute, which had entered its third day, centered on Russia's decision last month to impose a hefty duty on oil exports to Belarus, with Moscow complaining that the previous duty-free regime cost the Russ ian budget up to $4 billion a year in lost revenues. Belarus reaped billions in revenues by refining cheap Russia oil products and selling them at hefty protit to European markets. Minsk - whose centrally controlled economy is heavily reliant on cheap Russian energy and dutyfree trade with Russia responded las t week by slapping a $45 per ton tax on Russian oil pumped across Belarus to Europe. On Monday, Russia stopped pumping oil to Europe via the Druzhba pipehne - whose name translates as "friendship". - and accused its neighbor of siphoning off oil. By Tuesday, the stoppage had to affected supplies Ukraine, Germany; Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With the European Union voicing alarm and criticism and Russia threatening an all-out trade war against its former ally, the two countries' presidents Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko held talks by telephone Wednesda). Soon after, Belarus' government announced the cancellation of the $45per-ton duty, and Prime Mini ster Sergei Sidorsky announced he would fly to Moscow on Thursday for meetings with his Russian counterpart. "I hope that within two days we will be able to overcome all disagreements - on oil, oil products and other sensitive groups of commodities on the Russian and Belarusian markets," he said. Put in's top. economic adviser, meanwhile , reasserted that Russia was a dependable energy supplier. "We act as a re liable partner, and we would like to do so in the future ," Igor Shuvulov said . "We need to understand that that kind of behavior very close to blackmailing can't be accepted by the Russians. If we do accept it this time, than the .future can't be secured," he said. "Now we need to act together, the Europeans , and the Russians, to avoid this kind of situation in the future." European Union leaders have strongly criticized the di sruptions, which came one year after a price dispute between Russia and Ukraine led to a brief interruption of EU natural gas imports from Russia. Putin took a harsh stance at a Cabinet meeting Thesday, and told ministers to consider a possible reduction in oil output. Russia has a limited capacity for refining oil and would have to cut crude output if its exports decrease suddenly. Analysts say that Putin has grown tired of supporting the Belarusian leader, who has been dubbed "Europe's last dictator" in the West for his authoritarian rule and crackdown on dissent. But the disruption of Russian oil to Europe one year after the Ukraine gas cutoff alarmed European officials and led to renewed calls for energy diversification. Russia currently supplies a quarter of the EU's oil and over two-fifths of its natural gas. Local stocks AEP (NYSE) .- 42.33 'Akzo (NASDAQ)- 61.70 Ashland Inc.

Peter Tremayne is the fiction writing pseudonym of leading Celtic scholar Peter Beffesford Ellis. The books were written to demonstrate the roles women had in the legal system of Ireland and to introduce the reader to the Brehon laws that were used to govern there in the 7th century. · Under these laws women were given more rights and protection than in any other western law code at that time or since. Ke ssi n~;~er described the heroine Stster Fidelma as a seventh century Celtic nun who is also a dalaigh or sheriff/lawyer. The plots take place in a variety of settings in old Celtic Ireland.

The books have been so popular than an International Sister Fidelma Society has been formed and a web site created that gives additional infonnation about the readers' favorite nun. She concluded by saying that although the plots at times are a little complicated and the old Irish names difficult to pronounce, the mix of history and mystery make a winning combination in the Sister Fidelma books.

Flames kept motorist from helping in deadly crash, records show COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Intense heat and flames kept a motorist from helping two State Highway Patrol troopers and another motorist who died in a crash last fall in southeast-Ohio, according to newly released records. "Oh God ... Oh my God.... I can't get ... Yeah, there's a girl in that car ... in that pickup that's screaming ... and there ain't ... no way I can get to it," Dave Nolan, the first person to respond to the accident, said in a 911 call. The crash near Gallipolis on Sept. 28 killed Sgt. Dale Holcomb, 45, Trooper Joshua Riser, 29, and the driver of the pickup truck struck by their cruiser, Lori Smith, 32, of Vinton. Risner was driving more than 60 mph with the car's emergency lights and siren activated when he lost control, apparently hydroplaning on standing water, the patrol has said. The cruiser spun into the opposite lane and crashed into the truck. "It's a patrol car. I just got here and the patrol car just exploded ," Nolan told an emergency dispatchet. "Need the fire department and the pickup is catching on frre, too. Someone 's scrcru11ing. I have to get to them." The investigative reports and radio and 91 1 transcripts released by the patrol Tuesday did not substantially change previous findings about the collision. The bodies of both troopers were fou nd inside the cruiser. Smith died in the fire started by the cruiser's crushed gas tank. Post commander Lt. R.E. Grau called dispatchers about a half-hour afier the collision and asked that a pastor be contacted to help ~rrs and others with !herr gne. "Wow. I don't know how the hell I'm going to get through this," Grau said. "Or anybody else." The accident was the first in patrol history in which more than one trooper died. There also were questions . initially as to whether Risner was legally drunk at the time of crash. An autopsy put his bloodalcohol level at 0.08 percent, the level considered drunk under Ohio law, but interviews by patrol investigators established that Risner had not been drinking.

Russia and Belarus reached a compromise Wednesday on their dispute that has halted oil flows along a key pipeline to Europe after telephone talks between the two countries' presidents, the Belarusian presidency said. BY YURAS KARMANAU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MINSK , Belarus . Russi an oil began flowing again through a Belarusian pipeline late Wednesday. a top Belarusian oil official satd. resolving a dispute between the countries that had disrupted supplies to Eastern Europe as well to the former Soviet Republic. Alexei Kostuchenko, general director of pipeline concern GomeltransneftDruzhba, said Russian oil entered the Belarusian system around 10:30 p.m. local time (2030GMT) Wednesday, and was being pumped to Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. He did not give any details about the volume being moved . The spat between the t~o formerly close, ex-Sovtet republics showcased the Belarus regime's reliance on cheap Russian energy imports, and stoked doubts in European capitals about Russia and its dependability as an energy supplier. "The disruptions in. oil supplies have yet again Russia 's undermined efforts to establish itself as a reliable source of fuel supplies to . Europe ," Deutsche UFG analysts wrote in a note to investors. The dispute, which had entered its third day, centered on Russia's decision last month to impose a hefty duty on oil exports to Belarus, with Moscow complaining that the previous duty-free regime cost the Russ ian budget up to $4 billion a year in lost revenues. Belarus reaped billions in revenues by refining cheap Russia oil products and selling them at hefty protit to European markets. Minsk - whose centrally controlled economy is heavily reliant on cheap Russian energy and dutyfree trade with Russia responded las t week by slapping a $45 per ton tax on Russian oil pumped across Belarus to Europe. On Monday, Russia stopped pumping oil to Europe via the Druzhba pipehne - whose name translates as "friendship". - and accused its neighbor of siphoning off oil. By Tuesday, the stoppage had to affected supplies Ukraine, Germany; Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With the European Union voicing alarm and criticism and Russia threatening an all-out trade war against its former ally, the two countries' presidents Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko held talks by telephone Wednesda). Soon after, Belarus' government announced the cancellation of the $45per-ton duty, and Prime Mini ster Sergei Sidorsky announced he would fly to Moscow on Thursday for meetings with his Russian counterpart. "I hope that within two days we will be able to overcome all disagreements - on oil, oil products and other sensitive groups of commodities on the Russian and Belarusian markets," he said. Put in's top. economic adviser, meanwhile , reasserted that Russia was a dependable energy supplier. "We act as a re liable partner, and we would like to do so in the future ," Igor Shuvulov said . "We need to understand that that kind of behavior very close to blackmailing can't be accepted by the Russians. If we do accept it this time, than the .future can't be secured," he said. "Now we need to act together, the Europeans , and the Russians, to avoid this kind of situation in the future." European Union leaders have strongly criticized the di sruptions, which came one year after a price dispute between Russia and Ukraine led to a brief interruption of EU natural gas imports from Russia. Putin took a harsh stance at a Cabinet meeting Thesday, and told ministers to consider a possible reduction in oil output. Russia has a limited capacity for refining oil and would have to cut crude output if its exports decrease suddenly. Analysts say that Putin has grown tired of supporting the Belarusian leader, who has been dubbed "Europe's last dictator" in the West for his authoritarian rule and crackdown on dissent. But the disruption of Russian oil to Europe one year after the Ukraine gas cutoff alarmed European officials and led to renewed calls for energy diversification. Russia currently supplies a quarter of the EU's oil and over two-fifths of its natural gas. Local stocks AEP (NYSE) .- 42.33 'Akzo (NASDAQ)- 61.70 Ashland Inc.

Peter Tremayne is the fiction writing pseudonym of leading Celtic scholar Peter Beffesford Ellis. The books were written to demonstrate the roles women had in the legal system of Ireland and to introduce the reader to the Brehon laws that were used to govern there in the 7th century. · Under these laws women were given more rights and protection than in any other western law code at that time or since. Ke ssi n~;~er described the heroine Stster Fidelma as a seventh century Celtic nun who is also a dalaigh or sheriff/lawyer. The plots take place in a variety of settings in old Celtic Ireland.

She gave a brief review of one of the books and suggested others for those members who may wish to acquaint themselves with the series. The books have been so popular than an International Sister Fidelma Society has been formed and a web site created that gives additional infonnation about the readers' favorite nun. She concluded by saying that although the plots at times are a little complicated and the old Irish names difficult to pronounce, the mix of history and mystery make a winning combination in the Sister Fidelma books.

Flames kept motorist from helping in deadly crash, records show COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Intense heat and flames kept a motorist from helping two State Highway Patrol troopers and another motorist who died in a crash last fall in southeast-Ohio, according to newly released records. "Oh God ... Oh my God.... I can't get ... Yeah, there's a girl in that car ... in that pickup that's screaming ... and there ain't ... no way I can get to it," Dave Nolan, the first person to respond to the accident, said in a 911 call. The crash near Gallipolis on Sept. 28 killed Sgt. Dale Holcomb, 45, Trooper Joshua Riser, 29, and the driver of the pickup truck struck by their cruiser, Lori Smith, 32, of Vinton. Risner was driving more than 60 mph with the car's emergency lights and siren activated when he lost control, apparently hydroplaning on standing water, the patrol has said. The cruiser spun into the opposite lane and crashed into the truck. "It's a patrol car. I just got here and the patrol car just exploded ," Nolan told an emergency dispatchet. "Need the fire department and the pickup is catching on frre, too. Someone 's scrcru11ing. I have to get to them." The investigative reports and radio and 91 1 transcripts released by the patrol Tuesday did not substantially change previous findings about the collision. The bodies of both troopers were fou nd inside the cruiser. Smith died in the fire started by the cruiser's crushed gas tank. Post commander Lt. R.E. Grau called dispatchers about a half-hour afier the collision and asked that a pastor be contacted to help ~rrs and others with !herr gne. "Wow. I don't know how the hell I'm going to get through this," Grau said. "Or anybody else." The accident was the first in patrol history in which more than one trooper died. There also were questions . initially as to whether Risner was legally drunk at the time of crash. An autopsy put his bloodalcohol level at 0.08 percent, the level considered drunk under Ohio law, but interviews by patrol investigators established that Risner had not been drinking.

Steroid probe sets dangerous precedent The Daily Sentinel • Gene Lyons prosecutors learn that custorners of the now-infamous Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative included' big-league baseball players, however, than a ml\ior scandal took shape. Chief among the suspected steroid abusers is Barry Bonds, the "controversial" 41-year-old San Francisco Giants slugger who will probably break Henry Aaron's record of 755 lifetime home runs next season. earning a reponed $16 million. whether federal prosecutors indict him for perjury or not. Bonds is controversial mainly because he dislikes reporters . and treats them rudely. a selt~defeating way for a perfom1er to act. It's said that his father, Bqrry Bonds. also a star Giants outfielder, and his godfather, Hall of Fame centerfieldcr Willie Mays. taught hini contempt for the media. SteroiJs or no steroids, Bonds is the deadliest power hitter in baseball. Unlike Mark McGwire. the Bunyanesque (and equally suspect) slugger whose single-season home run rel'ord he broke, Bonds also hits tor average, and sets records tor intentional walks. Teams f'drely pitch to him in clutch situations. Hardly anybody believes Bonds' testimony to the BALCO grand jury that he never knowingly took steroids, although his personal trainer could have doped him without his knowledge. We know exactly what he said because the transcript was leaked to San Francisco Chronicle reponers Lance Williams and Mark FainaruWada, who reproduced it word-for-word in their book "Game of Shadows," which also featured the bitter recriminations of Bonds' ex.mistress. the First Hence Amendment threat. A federal judge tound both reporters in contempt tor refusing to dL'close their sources. They face prison should their appeals fail. Even public figures like Bonds enjoy the protection of grand jury secrecy, preventing prosecutors from smearing persons they can't indict. Numerous news organizations have tiled h1iefs essenti~lly demanding blanket amnesty for reporters, rendering those protections almost . meaningless. So I'm betting the reporters end up doing lime.

Prosecutors then got a search wamml from another judge who wasn't told the matter was already under litigation - to lawyers, the equivalent of a spitball. In serving that warrant, the FBI seized computer tiles containing the test results of all I,200 players in Major League Baseball, along with the National Hockey League and several other sports organizations. They cited the pretext that the computer lay in "plain view," like a murder weapon found during a drug bust. La~t week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that they could keep them reversing lower courts, which found that BALCO prosecutors had no probable cause, violating privacy rights. The dissenting justice called the raid a deliberate false pretext to gain "confidential medical data about Major League Baseball players who were not under ... particularized suspidon of criminal activity." If I he precedent stood, he warned. no doctor's office or hospital in the age of computerized records would be safe from cmsading investigators seeking to protect the vaunted " integrity of the game" of baseball or eradicate sin.

Leahy asks Secret Service for answers about its agreement with White House on visitor logs Rental sion of its destruction of White House visitor records. In October 2004, at the request of the National Archives and Records Administration, the Secret Service halted what it said had been a practice of routinely deletmg visitor log data from its computer system after periodically turning the information over to the Bush White House. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is suing over the National Archives' refusal to disclose why it asked the Secret Service to start retaining its own copies of the White House visitor records. If the National Archives views the logs as federal records as opposed to presidential records, that could bolster the efforts of CREW and other private organizations suing to obtain White House visitor logs. The organizations are seeking an array of information about Abramoff-related White House .visits and who visited the office of Vice President Dick Cheney. The efforts by the groups to obtain the log s began during the Abramoff scandal. The National Archives declined comment on the lawsuit tiled in U.S. District Coun in Washington .

Steroid probe sets dangerous precedent The Daily Sentinel • Gene Lyons prosecutors learn that custorners of the now-infamous Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative included' big-league baseball players, however, than a ml\ior scandal took shape. Chief among the suspected steroid abusers is Barry Bonds, the "controversial" 41-year-old San Francisco Giants slugger who will probably break Henry Aaron's record of 755 lifetime home runs next season. earning a reponed $16 million. whether federal prosecutors indict him for perjury or not. Bonds is controversial mainly because he dislikes reporters . and treats them rudely. a selt~defeating way for a perfom1er to act. It's said that his father, Bqrry Bonds. also a star Giants outfielder, and his godfather, Hall of Fame centerfieldcr Willie Mays. taught hini contempt for the media. SteroiJs or no steroids, Bonds is the deadliest power hitter in baseball. Unlike Mark McGwire. the Bunyanesque (and equally suspect) slugger whose single-season home run rel'ord he broke, Bonds also hits tor average, and sets records tor intentional walks. Teams f'drely pitch to him in clutch situations. Hardly anybody believes Bonds' testimony to the BALCO grand jury that he never knowingly took steroids, although his personal trainer could have doped him without his knowledge. We know exactly what he said because the transcript was leaked to San Francisco Chronicle reponers Lance Williams and Mark FainaruWada, who reproduced it word-for-word in their book "Game of Shadows," which also featured the bitter recriminations of Bonds' ex.mistress. the First Hence Amendment threat. A federal judge tound both reporters in contempt tor refusing to dL'close their sources. They face prison should their appeals fail. Even public figures like Bonds enjoy the protection of grand jury secrecy, preventing prosecutors from smearing persons they can't indict. Numerous news organizations have tiled h1iefs essenti~lly demanding blanket amnesty for reporters, rendering those protections almost . meaningless. So I'm betting the reporters end up doing lime.

In serving that warrant, the FBI seized computer tiles containing the test results of all I,200 players in Major League Baseball, along with the National Hockey League and several other sports organizations. They cited the pretext that the computer lay in "plain view," like a murder weapon found during a drug bust. La~t week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that they could keep them reversing lower courts, which found that BALCO prosecutors had no probable cause, violating privacy rights. The dissenting justice called the raid a deliberate false pretext to gain "confidential medical data about Major League Baseball players who were not under ... particularized suspidon of criminal activity." If I he precedent stood, he warned. no doctor's office or hospital in the age of computerized records would be safe from cmsading investigators seeking to protect the vaunted " integrity of the game" of baseball or eradicate sin.

Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls manage inventory. set goals. learn money management, and develop marketing skill s. Essentially, the girls run their own business. The entire troop sets a goal and follows a plan leading toward that goal. Girl Scout troops use funds from the cookie activity to fund service projects, plan an·exciting trip, visit COSI, attend camp, and so much more. Many successful women have credited .their business skill s to the Girl Scout Cookie Program, making it the premier business and economic literacy program for girls in the United States. Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program also go to support program opportunities for girls and training for volunteers across the area. Leahy asks Secret Service for answers about its agreement with White House on visitor logs Rental sion of its destruction of White House visitor records. In October 2004, at the request of the National Archives and Records Administration, the Secret Service halted what it said had been a practice of routinely deletmg visitor log data from its computer system after periodically turning the information over to the Bush White House. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is suing over the National Archives' refusal to disclose why it asked the Secret Service to start retaining its own copies of the White House visitor records. If the National Archives views the logs as federal records as opposed to presidential records, that could bolster the efforts of CREW and other private organizations suing to obtain White House visitor logs. The organizations are seeking an array of information about Abramoff-related White House .visits and who visited the office of Vice President Dick Cheney. The efforts by the groups to obtain the log s began during the Abramoff scandal. The National Archives declined comment on the lawsuit tiled in U.S. District Coun in Washington .

Film review: 'Alpha Dog' has shrill bark but swprisingly sbong bite Bv CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC They aren't exactly likable chamcters, the drug d~ alers and stoners and wannabe gangsters of "Alpha Dog." They' re bored, white kids with too much money and time on their hands and, in their shallow estimation, nothing better to do than sit around getting high, playing video games and emulating the speech and bravado of their favorite rap videos. (Every other word is "chill," "dog" or an F-bomb. Word.) But they feel real and alive in the hands of writer-director Nick Cassavetes - who couldn't have gone in a more opposite direction from his 2004 weepy romance "The Notebook" - and whose story of drugs, kidnapping and murder is inspired by .a 1999 Southern California case. The situations become shrill, overlong and a bit repetitive (how many parties c<m these people attend over a three-day periOd?) but they also grow increasingly volatile, which allows for vibrant perfonnances from a hot, young cast that includes Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, Shawn Hatosy, Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde.

Film review: 'Alpha Dog' has shrill bark but swprisingly sbong bite Bv CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC They aren't exactly likable chamcters, the drug d~ alers and stoners and wannabe gangsters of "Alpha Dog." They' re bored, white kids with too much money and time on their hands and, in their shallow estimation, nothing better to do than sit around getting high, playing video games and emulating the speech and bravado of their favorite rap videos.

The situations become shrill, overlong and a bit repetitive (how many parties c<m these people attend over a three-day periOd?) but they also grow increasingly volatile, which allows for vibrant perfonnances from a hot, young cast that includes Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, Shawn Hatosy, Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde.

Thursday, January U, 2007 Savage won't blame Crennel for Browns' awful.4-12 seasori BY JoE -Thursday, January 11, 2007 www.mydallysentlnel.com • Qrrthune - Sentinel - l\e tster CLASSIFIED MtuCIA ASSOCIATED PRESS BEREA - Browns general manager Phil Savage refuses to make coach Romeo Crennel the scapegoat. Despite a second losing season and Cleveland's failure to beat a team in its division, Savage said one person shouldn't bear the responsibility for everything that went wrong with the team in 2006. "There's no way I can look in the mirror and say all of this is Romeo Crennel's fault," Savage said Wednesdar " It's just not fair to him.' Savage blamed injuries, a difficult schedule and the lack of a core group of winning players as the main reasons for the Browns' 4-12 record in his second season in charge. Savage, speaking during a year-end news conference, reaffirmed that Crennel has the support of his players and that to make a change at head coach would set the franchise back. " I had a number of players come up to me during the latter stage of the year sa:ying, 'We believe m Romeo,"' Savage said. He noted that in spite of their record - 10-22 over the last two seasons - there was progress being made behind the scenes in terms of the organization's stability. He identified a core group of players to build around that includes ti~ht end Kellen Winslow, w1de receiver Braylon Edwards and linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. But at the same time, he acknowledged they don ' t know who their quarterback will be next season, saying that while Charlie Frye is the incumbent starter, Derek Anderson, who started three games late in the season. will have the chance to beat him out in a training camp competition. . Savage brushed aside lhe idea of bringing in a veteran through free agency, saying there won't be an impressive group of quarterbacks on the market. "Right now, we have Charlie and Derek and Ken Dorsey," he said. "We ultimately could end up with those same three next year." On otheflttopics, Savage said: The Browns have interviewed one outside candidate for offensive coordinator as well as assistant coach Jeff Davidson and quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer. Savage named the Browns' inability to form an identity on offense as one of Galli a County OH E·mall classlfiad@mydailytribune.com 'Qtrthune TO Place Oeatll1irM HOW I0 WRITE AM AD Succeaful Ada • lftdude Phone NumMr And Addi'U8 Whell NHded • Ads Shoutd llun 7 DaYI rL•••••••.,l GIVEAWAY '· 1 t All Dl•pl•y: I. :I Noon 2 auelneaa o.ya Prior To Publlc.tlon Sund•y Olaplllyt 1:00 p . m.

Savage said he supports coach Romeo Crennet and the cha lteng&s facing the Browns after a 4-12 season. - last season's biggest disappointments. - There's no timetable for the return of injured center LeCharles Bentley. who hurt his knee in training camp. "He's still very positive about coming back to the Browns and playing al some point." Minor offseason surgery on Winslow's knee is a possibility but the· tight end is having second thoughts. - The changes to the coaching staff. including the four assistants not retained last week, were Crennel's calls, not his. - Savage wouldn't say that Edwards needed more discipline after becoming a distraction to the team because of his tardiness to meetings and criticisms of his coaches and teammates. He said Edwards, who finished with 884 yards receiving and six touchdowns. needed more mentoring and by nawre is not a selfish teammate. "The face of the Browns' offense in the future is probably going to be No. 17 (Edwards) and No. 80 (Winslow)," Savage said . "We have to transform that talent into real professional stars." The Browns again have a number of problem areas to fix this offseason. including both lines. But Savage said perhaps the biggest problem IS the1r psyche, overcoming the negativity that comes from losing for four straight seasons and seven out of the last eight since they came back to the NFL as an expansion team. He attributed some of Edwards· comments to the chronic losing. BY BRAD SHERMAN a minute to play before half- BSHERMANOMYOAILYTRIBUNE.COM time.

Thursday, January U, 2007 Savage won't blame Crennel for Browns' awful.4-12 seasori BY JoE -Thursday, January 11, 2007 www.mydallysentlnel.com • Qrrthune - Sentinel - l\e tster CLASSIFIED MtuCIA ASSOCIATED PRESS BEREA - Browns general manager Phil Savage refuses to make coach Romeo Crennel the scapegoat. Despite a second losing season and Cleveland's failure to beat a team in its division, Savage said one person shouldn't bear the responsibility for everything that went wrong with the team in 2006. "There's no way I can look in the mirror and say all of this is Romeo Crennel's fault," Savage said Wednesdar " It's just not fair to him.' Savage blamed injuries, a difficult schedule and the lack of a core group of winning players as the main reasons for the Browns' 4-12 record in his second season in charge. Savage, speaking during a year-end news conference, reaffirmed that Crennel has the support of his players and that to make a change at head coach would set the franchise back. " I had a number of players come up to me during the latter stage of the year sa:ying, 'We believe m Romeo,"' Savage said. He noted that in spite of their record - 10-22 over the last two seasons - there was progress being made behind the scenes in terms of the organization's stability. He identified a core group of players to build around that includes ti~ht end Kellen Winslow, w1de receiver Braylon Edwards and linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. But at the same time, he acknowledged they don ' t know who their quarterback will be next season, saying that while Charlie Frye is the incumbent starter, Derek Anderson, who started three games late in the season. will have the chance to beat him out in a training camp competition. . Savage brushed aside lhe idea of bringing in a veteran through free agency, saying there won't be an impressive group of quarterbacks on the market. "Right now, we have Charlie and Derek and Ken Dorsey," he said. "We ultimately could end up with those same three next year." On otheflttopics, Savage said: The Browns have interviewed one outside candidate for offensive coordinator as well as assistant coach Jeff Davidson and quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer. Savage named the Browns' inability to form an identity on offense as one of Galli a County OH E·mall classlfiad@mydailytribune.com 'Qtrthune TO Place Oeatll1irM HOW I0 WRITE AM AD Succeaful Ada • lftdude Phone NumMr And Addi'U8 Whell NHded • Ads Shoutd llun 7 DaYI rL•••••••.,l GIVEAWAY '· 1 t All Dl•pl•y: I. :I Noon 2 auelneaa o.ya Prior To Publlc.tlon Sund•y Olaplllyt 1:00 p . m.

Savage said he supports coach Romeo Crennet and the cha lteng&s facing the Browns after a 4-12 season. - last season's biggest disappointments. - There's no timetable for the return of injured center LeCharles Bentley. who hurt his knee in training camp. "He's still very positive about coming back to the Browns and playing al some point." Minor offseason surgery on Winslow's knee is a possibility but the· tight end is having second thoughts. - The changes to the coaching staff. including the four assistants not retained last week, were Crennel's calls, not his. - Savage wouldn't say that Edwards needed more discipline after becoming a distraction to the team because of his tardiness to meetings and criticisms of his coaches and teammates. He said Edwards, who finished with 884 yards receiving and six touchdowns. needed more mentoring and by nawre is not a selfish teammate. "The face of the Browns' offense in the future is probably going to be No. 17 (Edwards) and No. 80 (Winslow)," Savage said . "We have to transform that talent into real professional stars." The Browns again have a number of problem areas to fix this offseason. including both lines. But Savage said perhaps the biggest problem IS the1r psyche, overcoming the negativity that comes from losing for four straight seasons and seven out of the last eight since they came back to the NFL as an expansion team. He attributed some of Edwards· comments to the chronic losing. BY BRAD SHERMAN a minute to play before half- BSHERMANOMYOAILYTRIBUNE.COM time.

Barbaro suffers significant setback KENNEH SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - Barbaro has suffered a significant setback in his recovery from laminitis, with damaged tissue removed from the Kentucky Derby winner's left hind hoof. Barbaro was being treated aggressively for his discomfort and is in stable condition. according to a statement released Wednesday mqrning by the University of Pennsylvania 's New Bolton Center. The tissue was removed Tuesday night. "Things were marching along pretty smoothly until this," Barbaro· s co-owner Gretchen Jackson said. "We · ve been there before with him . He 's a horse that wants to live." The setback comes one week after a new cast was placed on Barbaro's laminitis-stricken left hind foot to help realign a bone. The cast change cou ld have caused some inflammation. said Dr. Kathleen Anderson, Barbaro's attending vet when the horse was racing and stabled in trainer Michael Matz's bam at the Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton, Md. Anderson said Barbaro has proved he was strong enough to overcome his latest medical obstacle. "We all know most horses don ' t get this far," she said. "The bottom line with Barbaro is the fractured leg is the one that would have been the end of most horses. He won 't be getting to the big green field any time soon, but I don't think this is insurmountable." It was the first dose of bad news after months of progress that included owners Gretchen and Roy Jackson and New Bolton 's chief surgeon Dean Richardson talking about releasing Barbaro from the hospital as soon as the end of the month. "It's sad that's he's had a setback because he was marching along toward living outside the hospital." Jackson said. "The only thing we care about is that he's not in pain." Barbaro had become uncomfortable on hi s left hind foot and a cast was removed after some new separation on the inside portion of his hoof was found. Barbaro shattered his right hind leg in the Preakness on May 20. In mid-July severe laminitis, a potentially fatal disease caused by uneven weight distribution in the limhs, resulted in 80 percent of Barbaro's left hind hoof being removed. "I was there yesterday and it was obvious he was not comfortable in that foot," Jackson said. "The easiest and best way to work on Barbaro is when he 's laying down. They had to wait until he was laying down and when they removed the cast, they discovered some reason for him fee ling pain." Just over a week ago. Richardson said Barbaro's right hind was getting stronger and should eventu.ally be healthy enough to allow the colt to live a comfortable, happy life. But he al,o warned : " Barbaro 's left hind foot, which had laminiti s. remains a more formidable long-term challenge . The foot must grow much more for him to have a truly successful outcome." BY RONAU> llwM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK An empty chair on the dais would have been appropriate . Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn soaked in their new status as Hall of Famers on Wednesday, flanked by baseball officials in an ornate hotel ballroom. During the formal 45minute portion of the news conference, Mark McGwire 's name was not mentioned, as if those 583 home runs had been erased from history. There was a large poster of Ripken on the left, a matching one of Gwynn on the right, each portraying the player batting and fielding. Posters of Goose Gossage and Jim Rice had been prepared, too. just in case they gained election. But no poster of McGwire was necessary. Hall officials knew it wouldn't be needed . Big Mac wasn't going to be a first-ballot Hall of Farner. If he keeps up his disappearing act, evading questions about his role in baseball's Steroids Era, McGwire 's poster won't ever be ordered. Like Pete Rose, McGwire might end up visiting Cooperstown only as a guest, not a member. Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa also could find themselves on the outside looking in. Their cases no doubt will be re-examined decades from now by historians who will try to determine why baseball's career hits leader and some of its most prodigious horne run hitters were locked out of the sport's pantheon. When given the chance two years ago to tell Congress what he did or didn't do, McGwire stonewalled. After the for- mal news conference Wednesday, .when writers gathered around Ripken and Gwynn, questions were asked about McGwire and steroids. While not passing judgment on McGwire, Ripken did say he 'd Iike some answers. "When you examine it, you would like to hear what the story is," he said. "And I'm a firm believer that the truth is the truth, and the truth will come out. Sometimes it takes a little while ." With crystal chandeliers overhead and huge goldand-blue curtains behind, Ripken and Gwynn put cream-colored baseball jerseys on. with "Hall of Fame" in red-white-andblue script across their chests. Then they told the stories of their careers. "There's like a gigantic halo over my head right now. I'm just like in heaven right now," Gwynn said before another of his familiar horse laughs. He hopes McGwire is among those who get to experience the feeling . Veterans of pennant races and World Series, Ripken and Gwynn admitted being nervous before they were voted in Tuesday. "You're staring at that phone for 15 minutes or 20 minutes, trying to will it to ring," Ripken said. Gwynn and Ripken said they weren't tempted by performa nc e-enhanc i ng drugs during their careers, which ended a year before baseball players and owners agreed on rules that banned them. "Why would you do it? Would you do it for more money? Would you do it to set records? Would you do it to prolong your career?" Gwynn said. "See, here's the thing: If you decide to go that way, do you ,~lr'e the H11ll of Fpme ill ~nO? What is it th\\t roMllJOs you to do it? Ia itlO· get 'a paycheck?" Until Ken Caminiti and 'Jose Canseco, no stars had admitted using steroids. Baseball has a long hi ~ tory of trying to keep what goes on in the clubhouse from reaching the outside world. " No player wants to be that guy to alienate himself from the rest of them," Gwynn said. "But you suspected." Unlike Gwynn, who won eight NL batting title~. Ripken made his money !I~ a power hitter, revolution• izing what was expected qf shortstops. He said he stayed away from steroids because of "the unknown." ''I'm not someone that takes aspmn for 11 headache," he said. "I was able to establish myself pretty early on as a regular player and I knew that J could do it all by myself, I guess."

The DLZ plan is a pedestrian-oriented street scape with decorative iron elements and other landscaping features intended to compliment the hi storic architecture of the shopping district. The $10,000 streetscape plan relies heavily on a proposed multi-purpose trail and bicycle path which received $200.000 in federal funding last year. The design is built around two "nodes." or areas seen having strong potential for beautification efforts. Those nodes are the Dave Diles Park and 'T ' area on Mill Street and the boat parking area on Walnut Street and its view ot.the Ohio River.
