VALUES A Hunger For More AGifT IN THE STRAW The Daily Sentinel Friday, December 23, 2005 A children s Christmas narrative BY PASTOR JAMES S~YDER CLP Narrator: The streets of Bethlehem. once filled with people, have started to empty. The people have been coming and going most of the day as families are returning home to be counted for the censu s. This particular evening, we move down a small dusty street to an Inn several blocks from the town square. Th~ shadow s. are growing longer as the sun se ts slow ly in the west. Maybe yo u have already heard the story of the birth of Jesus. There .were others there that nigbt to witness the birth of Christ. Gathered in a shelter, just off the main building, were Sherry Sheep, Gus Donkev. and Ken Camel. This is the 'story of how they shared the Gift in the Straw. Ken Camel: It has sure been busy today. The Innkeeper has not even had time to bring us our eveni ng meal. I thought I was just extra hungry. Sherry Sheep: All you do is talk about eating. Don ' t you · think the day has bee n exci tin g with all of the people ' by.1 passmg Gus Goat: And did you see the way some of their animals were loaded with heavy boxes'' Ken Camel: I for one don't really care about the people going by unless they happen to throw some fresh vegetables into the stall. Gus Goat: There you go talking about eating again, you're makin g me hungry. I'm ju st glad that we don ' t have to can·y around heavy . · loads. Sherry Sheep: Well I think it is exc ltm g. Did you see the way the kid\ looked at us today" I th ink they thought we were pretty. Ken Camel: Why all this talk about people? Yes. except for bringing us food, people just walk around all day looking like they are lost or something. Gus Goat: I agree, they must be lost, always passing by and making noise. Why can't they do what we do, sleep whenever we want to or just stand at the fence and watch the clouds. Sherry Sheep: Have you ever thought what it would be like without the fe nce? Being able to talk with others, dance, and wear those coverings in different colors? And what's wrong with people? They bring us food and water and they are really nice to us . Now a.nd then they eyen let kids come to play with us don't they? Ken Camel: People, people, people, they are nothing special. People are good for bringing food and water and nothing else. Look at this dirty stall it has not been cleaned in days. Peo ple don't care at all about us. Narrator: As day · becomes night our friends notice a small donkey tied to a post outside the door of the Inn. A young woman with a worried look on her face is sitting on the donkey. A young man comes out of the Inn followed by the Innkeeper who points to the stall where our friends are watching. As they approach the stable, the animals sense something in the air. Ken Camel: Why are they coming over here? Sherry Sheep: Maybe they need a place for their donkey? Gus Goat: He looks friendly ·enough. Sherry Sheep: Shhh, here they come. Gus Goat: They are all coming into the stall, something must be wrong. . Sherry Sheep: Did you hear the Innkeeper? They don't have a place to sleep and they are going to stay with us. They don 't look like the other people aroond here; they look like they know where they are gOing. Ken Camel: I just hope they don't take up too much room. Daniel Donkey: This is a special night and they are special people.

OPINION Friday, December 23, 2005 The real reason for Christmas People often speak of the magic of Christm'as. This celebration of Christ's birth is a beautiful holiday tilled · with family traditions, joyful musi'c , warmth, love and sharing.

The X-plane designation is important when budgets are bcmg written, said Robert Barthelemy, a retired Air Force executive who directed the X-30 National AeroSpace Plane program in the 1990s. ''It puts it in a category all by itself," Barthelemy said Wednesday. · The X'30 was an ·effort to develop a scramjet-powered manned airplane that could fly into orbit wilhout booster rockets.

John Murtha, DPa. , made quite a splash recently when he declared "The United States cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It is time. to bring the troops home." He was by no means the highest-ranking person td contribute to the Democrats' reputation as the Bug-Out Party; that honor belongs to its national chairman,Howard Dean, and its leader in the House of Representatives , Nancy Pelosi. But Murtha was widely re~pected in the House as a longtime friend of the armed forces, and as the holder of a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts for his own service as a Marine in the Vietnam War. For him to call for the withdrawal of all U.S . forces from Iraq was both a surprise and a serious blow to the war effort. Murtha's argument relied heavily on his contention that the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq was actually fueling the insurgency, and thus damaging efforts to suppress it. "I have concluded," he declared, "the presence Of U.S. troops in Iraq is impeding this prog~ss.

Undrafted Parker closing in.on unlikely 1,000-yard season PITISBURGH (AP) - Thirteen NFL running backs have rushed for I ,000 yards this season, and four are fewer than I 00 yards away. Most share a common bond -of college stardom, of getting enormous money before playing their first NFL game, of being a big name and a big deal long before they were pros. · Nine ·were first-round draft picks. Three more went in the second round. Only one in the group went as low as the sixth round. . Then there's Willie Parker, who needs 63 yards in his final two games to become only the sixth running back in the Pittsburgh Steelers' 73-season history with a I ,000-yard season. First-round draft pick? He wasn't even the first back picked most Saturdays by his own college, spending all but a few games at North Carolina as a backup - barely getting 1,000 yards in his career. He had speed and strength, often outlifting · the other backs in the weight room, but for some reason he didn't have what the Tar Heels want- ed . Dan Rooney Jr., the son of the Steelers' chairman and a team scout, remembered Parker from his starring days at Clinton (N.C.) High School and recommended signing him as an undrafted free agent. Parker was as raw as could be in his first training camp in 2004, but his speed made such an impression on coach Bill Cowher that he made it through the roster cuts. The first time he got more than a few carries in a ~game, he , ran for I 02 yards against the Bills. When .Jerome Bettis and Duce Staley got hurt in training camp thi s summer, Parker stepped !n and gained 272 yards in tire first two games. He's had only one 100-yard game since, but has never given back his job to two backs who have a combined II 1,000-yard seasons between them. At! season, Parker has deflected credit for his success to the offensive line, the coaches' game plan or to Bettis and Staley, for showing him the way. But now that he is so close Parker showed it again .Sunday to gammg 1,000 yards, Parker. when, after getting benched the acknowledges it week before for fumbling for the would mean a lot . third time in two games, he came to him personally. back with a solid 81-yard game "I can't say a lie against the Vikings. and say it's not "Because of my parents, 'I can't' Notebook so," he said.

"Let me tell you a story that happened in high school." he said. "The two best teams in the state were in the same conference, and this other team beats us. We play them again in the regional. and they've already got their buses ordered and their T-shirts for going to state. So my team got a little fired up about that. "We already knew we were the best team, and we beat them like 330. And the next day in the paper they said, Willie Parker is only a junior, his team ··s not supposed to win this game," Parker said. And how fitting is this '? His high school team is nicknamed the Dark Horses. If there ever was a dark horse candidate to be an NFL I ,000yard ru sher. it's Parker. "The moral of the story? It's not supposed to happen that wa~ again - I'm not even thinking in my wildest dreams of being near I ,000 yards, and it's coming around now," he said. "The picture's being painted now.

' (Ule have the greatest role model there is in .Tony Dungy' BY JtM LITKE AP SpPRTS COLUMNIST The Staff and Management of The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 www.mydailysentinel.com 2005 Nearly three weeks ago, after the Colts beat the Jaguars and he 'd low-keyed his . way through another postgame interview, a few writers cornered Tony Dungy in the visiting l,o cker room. Indianapolis was still unbeate.n and Dungy was still answering every question about how far he was willing to look ahead the same way: One week at a time. Everyone was already tired of the cat-and-mouse game by then, except Dungy. He never seemed to run out of patience. "How do you stay so calm?" someone finally blurted out. "My parents," Dungy began. "Both of them were schoolteachers." The rest of the answer, including his transition from Southern fromPageBl Southern played more focused in the second round with a strong full court effort, but Hannan kept pace in the early going. Robie hit consecutive jumpers inside for scores and Wolfe-Riffle notched a bucket as Hannan called time out to stop the momentum with SHS leading 17-12. Southern rolled on to a 122 advantage in the frame as ,Stover went to the bench in foul trouble just past the midway point of the second z· anto. Southern led 23-14 at the half. A good halftime pep talk must have perked up the Tornadoes in the third round. Southern hit a couple quick scores off its offense from fun-loving, sometimes hotheaded kid to grown "Christian man," was light on details and over in a matter of minutes. For all the faith he instiJis in others, Dungy knows not to take himself too seriously. So at the end, he grinned mischievously and added, "My high school buddies would be surprised you asked that." All that patience, all those lessons learned and the selfdeprecating humor are about to be tested like never ~fore. Dungy's 18-year-old son, James, was found dead early Thursday in his Tampa-area apartment, an apparent suicide. His family is never going to be the same. · "It's hard to fathom what thiS means unless you are a parent," Colts President Bill Polian said later that morning, ·standing outside the team's practice facility in Indianapolis, framed by a mournful gray sky. "And if you are a parent, there aren't any words to express the kind of pain tliat I'm sure they're feeling." What Polian said next was much more familiar and easier to grasp. "Tony made it clear to both myself and to Jim (lrsay, the Colts owner) that he wished for the organization and the team to carry on . And we will," he said. "We have the greatest role model there is in Tony Dungy." Though recognition was ,slow in coming, Dungy became one of the best coaches of his era by making sure his players never lost sight of what really mattered. He was in everything for the long haul, whether it was perfecting defensive scheme, volunteering in the community or advancing the cause of a Atrican -Americans. Winning, to him, was always the byproduct of doing things the right way instead of the other way around. It's why Dungy wouldn't make wholesale changes when the sorry Tampa Bay team he was handed as a consolation prize - both Jimmy Johnson and Steve Spurrier said "no" before Dungy was even interviewed for the job - begal) his rookie season 05. Shortcuts never interested him, but sacrifice always did. Dungy was . a college quarterback who turned himself into a backup safety as a pro because he reasoned that hanging on by his tingernails was better than not hanging around at alL The more the Bucs learned about their leader, the easier he became to follow.

In 2001, a year after the Glazer family uncer-. emoniously kicked Dungy to the curb and replaced him with Jon Gruden, the franchise won its first Super Bowl. "Tony was like our Moses," Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks recalled recently on ESPN.com. "He led us out of the darkness and right up to the promised land. ·: Unlike Moses, though, Dungy went back to work soon enough. Nothing about him was different oil the sideline in Indianapoli s, save the color of his outfit. Dungy was still quick to smile, slow to rouse anQ maddeningly difficult to anger. He was still perfecting his schemes, still vol- unteeripg. still speaking out thoughtfully about issues of race and society without ever once shirking h,is responsibility to any and all of those causes, footballleas~1 of all. In short, Dungy was teaching once again , a job to which he 'd practically been born. Once the Colts connected hi s example to that lesson, they understood that disappointing Dungy meant disappointing themselves. They've been almost impossible to beat ever since. Nobody knows when Dungy will be back at work. least of all the coach himself. He has to attend to something more difficult, more iinportant and more sorrowful than anything life has thrown at him before. .... ..... .

Bertuzzi missed the final 13 regular-season games of the 2003-04 season and Stanley Cup playoffs, and his banishment continued throughout last season's NHL lockout. He was also barred from the World Cup of Hockey in September 2004 and two world championships. He struggled early this season, scoring two goals in his tirst 15 games, but recently has di splayed the dominating form that he used to score 46 goals and 97 points in 200203. " In 2003-04, no question Todd Bertuzzi was one of the lop three or four forwards in all of Canada, if not the world, and that's the type of player we've seen in the last couple of weeks," Lowe said. Lowe read a statement by Wayne Gretzky, Team Canada's executive director, thanking fans for' their best wishes after the death of his mother, Phyllis, on Monday. · "This is a great day for Canadian hockey and congratulations to everyone. I know my mom was looking forward to this day as every Canadian is," Gretzky said. Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson said Gretzky will be in Turin and remain "the leader heading into the Olympics." Nicholson confirmed he had discussions with the Canadian Olympic Committee over concerns about naming Bertuzzi and Heatley, who pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide and was sentenced to three years' probation and community service for the car crash that killed thenAtlanta teammate Dan Snyder in 2003. "I think it's a non-issue," NicholsiJn said. "They will look at the list in the next few days and I don't expect anything coming back." s~ored 20 of hi s 24 points in , the second half.

Bel bin and other people '·of extraordinary abi lity" would face · a fa ster immigration process under a provision in a spending bill that won approval late Wednesday in the Senate. If el igible. Belbin and partner Ben Agosto are considered America's best hope for figure skating gold in Turin. A medal of any color would be the United States' first in ice dancing since 1976. "It's just the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for," Belbin said Thursday in a phone interview from Ontario, where she was visiting family members. The immigration measure, authored by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich .. was included in a bill providing funds for the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services. It next moves to President Bush for his signature . · Levin called it a "common sense fix that will enable her to complete the citizenship process in time to represe nt the U.S. in the 2006 Olympics." U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Peter Ueberroth called it "a matter of fairness, not just to Tanith Bel bin and Ben Agosto, but to an entire group of individuals who, as naturalized citizens, · will make important contributions to our country." Ueberroth said he was "confident they will make our country proud." Bel bin, 21, is Canadian but has lived in suburban Detroit since June 1998. Her immigrant wor ker vi sa was approved in 2000, but she dtdn 't receive her green card until July 2002. Because of a typical !1veyear waiting period, she was not expected to gain citizenship until 2007 without the AP photo Tanith Belbin and Ben Ag0 sto, of the United States, place first in the Ice Danci ng Free Dance competition at the Skate America Competition in At lantic City, N.J., In this Oct. 22 file photo. · change, meaning the pair would have to sit out the Olympics. Getting the meas ure through Congress was considered the largest obstacle for her to perform in the Olympics. But the proposal had been caught up in a larger le~i s lati ve fight in recent weeks that finally ended late Wednesday. "It's been a crazy roller coaster ride," said Belbin, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. "We are grateful for this and would have been grateful for this experience regardless of the outcome," Bel bin said. Bel bin has been able to compete for the United Sta(es in international competiiions, including the world ·championships, where she and Agosto won a silver medal last year. But only America n citizens ca n be on the Olympic team; under U.S. Figure Skating's selection. procedures, she needs to have a U.S. passport by Jan . 28. The Olympic team will be chosen next month at the Figure Skating 1U.S. Championships, where Belbin and Agosto have won the last two dance titles. The couple qualified for the 2002 Salt Lak.e City Games with a second-place finish at nationals, but couldn 't compete because of Belbin's citizenship issues. Levin's meas ure would help Belbin and about lOO other "aliens of extraordinary ability" in the sciences, arts, education, busi ness or athletics speed up their citizenship. Levin said because of a rule change in 2002, those with "extraordinary. ability" can seek visas and green cards at the same time. But Belbin started the process before the rule change and had to wait 18 months after getting her visa before she received her green card. If Belbin had been working under the new system, she would have become a U.S. citizen this month, the senator said. · The meas ure shortens the residency requirement from five to three years between the receipt of the green card and the dale of their eligibility for naturalization. It applies to those who began their naturalization process before July 2002. With Sasha Cohen and Michelle Kwan both sidelined for much of the fall with injuries, Belbin and Agosto are the United States' best prospects for a gold medal right now. They have skated together for more than seven seasons and are forme r world junior champions and two-time U.S. gold .medali sts. They won the silver medal at the World Championships In March, giving the United States its first medal at worlds in ice dancing since 1985. They won Skate America earlier this year, but didn ' t qu alify for last weekend's Grand Prix final in Tokyo because .they missed a second event when Agosto pulled a groin muscle. Agosto is, expected · to be · ready for nationals. · \!Cribune - Sentinel- 1\.e CLASSIFIED nude for calendar~. OBERLIN (AP) Members of a women's rugby c)ub at Oberlin College who posed semi-nude for a 2006 calendar hope to challen'ge the way people think about women playing a traditionally male sport. "We aren't trying to sell ourselves, but we wanted to address important issues, ljke how women athletes are depicted sexually, and gender roles ·in sports," said team member Alia Kate. "It's about our empowerment· as both women and athletes." Sixteen · of the club's 30 members posed ·for the selfpubli shed calendar, which was released Monday as .a fundraiser. About 350 of the I ,000 calendars have been · sold. Photos show the women ·posing with rugby balls, porn- poms and other props. Eacl1 photo also is accompanied by a statement about teamwork; conf1dence, courage and safe- ty. "We hope people will be drawn in by the photos, lheq, think seriously about the statements," Kate said. Tea m members checked' with faculty and college administrators before beginning the.· project to be sure they weren't violating a ny. rules. Rafael Capo, a sophomore majoring in ·sociology, said the calendar was done in good taste, • but que stioned its intent. "I thought it was just a joke and didn 't understand the messages they were trying to se nd," Capo said. Oberlin is about 35 miles southwest of Cleveland.

Officials with seve ral racing groups have said they are unaware of a strict over-18 rule for jockeys in any of the other 37 states that allow pari-mutuel racing. The Ohio rules committee said raising the trainer age also is necessary because minors can't be held legally responsible for a horse's well-being, Barron said. That simply closes a loophole - no one under 18 has ever been licensed as a trainer in Ohio, Barron said. The recommendations will go to the full commission, which meets Jan. 19. If approved, the changes likely won 't go into effect for six months, Barron said. i i or Fax To (740) 44&.3ooa · Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. •' Street , Pomeroy, Ohio.

Thursday's unanimous decision is in response to the Nov. . 16 death of 16' year-old jockey Josh Radosevich, who was thrown during a horse race at Beulah Park· in suburban Grove City. The horse had broken a leg, and a report ruled that the accident was unavoidable. "Josh was a very qualified young man," said. Norman Barron, who co-chairs the rules committee of the Ohio State Racing Commission. "But this was a wake-up call for all of us. Other 16-year-olds might not be so experienced."
