A student locker room that

O’Bryant Middle School must
be relocated, said Fred Sims.
“It’s not a high concentration
of gas,” he said Friday, “but we
had to relocate a building we
were going to build. We can’t
have a building where gas
vapors can accumulate.”
The locker room next to the
new gymnasium was to be
L-shaped, but has been redesigned to be rectangular and
relocated about 30 feet from its
planned location.
“While it was not a heavy
concentration, it was advised
we move the building away
from the dump site and try to
prevent any possible collection of gas under the building,”
district Chief Operating Officer
Jesus Jara said.
Finding old tires, washers,
dryers, lumber and other buried debris at work sites is not
unusual, Sims said, but the soil,

How does a Key Largo native
become infatuated with tracking gray wolves in knee-deep

For Debbie Shepherd, it may
have started with a poster of
wolves her mother gave her
after a summer trip with her
father.
Her future was certainly set in
snow in January 2003, when she
saw her first wolves in the wild
at Yellowstone National Park.

degrees out. I looked through
the scope at the alpha pair, and
the female looked right at me. It
was almost a spiritual connection. I looked in her eyes and it
was like looking into her soul.”
In March 1995, the National
Park Service and other federal
agencies released 14 Canadian
gray wolves in Yellowstone. The
next year, 17 more were let go
in the park.

CRIME REPORT – 2 A
Because wolves had been
hunted to near extinction by
the mid-1900s, their main prey
— elk — had proliferated to the
point that they were changing
the park’s ecosystem through
overconsumption of native vegetation.
The release of wolves was not
only intended to help keep the
elk population in check, but to
keep them on the run so that
they returned to browsing rather than grazing.

CRIME REPORT
Argument over crack
leads to break-up
CITIZEN STAFF
KEY WEST — A relationship
ended on Jan. 11 when a Key
West woman accused her boyfriend of throwing feces and
urine on her during an argument about her alleged crack
use.
By the time Key West Police
left the residence in the 1500
block of Seminary Street
around 10 a.m., both parties
had agreed to live separately
and end their relationship, the
report states.
No arrests were made.
The 40-year-old woman
claimed her boyfriend threw
the waste on her during a fight,
but officers noted that her
clothes were clean and untorn.
As they were speaking with
her, the boyfriend rode up on
a bicycle and explained that
he had been fighting with the
woman in an effort to force her
to quit smoking crack.
He told the police that the
cup of alleged human waste
was actually coffee, reports
say.
The man also denied throwing the coffee on the woman
during the argument.
The woman told the officers
she was moving back to Stock
Island, gathered her things and
left, the report states.
Information in the Crime
Report is obtained from reports
provided by area law enforcement agencies.
If you have information that
could help solve a crime in the
Keys, call Crime Stoppers, (800)
346-TIPS.

Seafood festival needs volunteers
Everglades offers missile tour
Plant clinics available
Non-profit organizations may be eligible for
a $1,000 donation if they provide volunteers to
clear tables during the 35th annual Marathon
Seafood Festival March 12 and 13 at Marathon
Community Park.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. Jan. 28, and
must be submitted to the Marathon Chamber
of Commerce Visitor Center, 12222 Overseas
Highway. There is also an opportunity for one
local nonprofit to assemble its own food booth
to raise money.
The seafood festival is organized by the
Marathon Chamber and the Monroe County
Chapter of Organized Fishermen of Florida.
It is the Middle Keys’ second-largest annual
event, and has drawn up to 20,000 people
over the two-day festival that celebrates the
Keys’ native seafood. To volunteer or sponsor
the event, call the chamber at 305-743-5407.
Additional information is available at www.

Everglades National Park rangers once
again will offer tours of the Historic Nike
Hercules Missile Base. The site remains
virtually the same as it was when official
use of it ended in 1979. The tour takes
visitors to one of the best-preserved relics of the Cold War in Florida.
The Army Corps of Engineers built the
missile base in the Everglades, 160 miles
from Cuba, in 1963 after the Cuban
Missile Crisis during a tense time in
America. It is one of four that were built
in South Florida.
Interpretive tours will run through
April and are offered daily at 10 a.m.
with a 2 p.m. tour available on Saturdays
and Sundays. The tours are free with
the price of park admission. Tickets are
available at the Ernest F. Coe Visitor
Center. For more information, call 305242-7015.

The
commission
on
Wednesday will also:
• Discuss a toll for motorists
coming into the Florida Keys.
Proceeds would help pay for
and conduct a wolf census
each year to determine their
population.
“We go out as a team and
report our observations to
Yellowstone Wolf Project’s
chief biologist Doug Smith,”
Shepherd said. “He helps keep
track of the information, which
is used by the feds to help
determine their [endangered]
status and for other scientific
purposes.”
The Yellowstone census
recorded 124 wolves in 2008
and 96 to 98 in 2009, Shepherd
said, adding that the numbers
usually fluctuate from year to
year.
“I’ll meet with seven or eight
other volunteers from around
the country and we’ll stay in a
cabin with only beds and heaters,” she said. “We’ll get up at
dawn, have a hearty breakfast
and go out to look for wolves.”
When asked why a person
from a subtropical climate
would go to such a cold place
in the dead of winter, Shepherd
doesn’t flinch.
“January is the best time to
see them because you’re about
the only fool out there,” she
said. “There are no wolves
anywhere else — if you want
to see them. You can listen to
them in Minnesota, but you
have to go to Yellowstone if
you want to see them.”
A few summers ago,
Shepherd spent five days
as a wolf pup nanny at the
International Wolf Center in
Ely, Minn. She says she did
what anyone would do while
caring for puppies, like scratching their bellies and ears.
“It was generally making them accustomed to
being handled by humans,”
she said. “I had been against
having them in captivity,
but after understanding that
the center teaches the world
about wolves so that there is
better understanding, I was
swayed.”
Still, Yellowstone and its environs are more to Shepherd’s
liking.
“When I retire, I will move
out there within a week and
be one of those volunteers,”
she said. “I’d go tomorrow if I
could.”
The first time she spots a
wolf each year is still a big
thrill, she said.
“People start out in 35
degrees below zero to see a
wolf. When you hear them
howl in Yellowstone, with the
sound bouncing off the mountains, it’s breathtaking,” she
said. “You know you’ve hit the
jackpot.”

“This speaks volumes about

Health care and the
Republican agenda
he Republicans who
took over the House
and made significant gains in the Senate are
already playing a chancy
game with their power.
Their plans to spend the
first part of this congressional session trying to undo
President Obama’s agenda
suggest both a misreading of
the public temperature and
an unhealthy willingness
to value politics over obvious national interest. They
should take a deep breath
before proceeding.
Consider just two items
from the Republicans’ suicide list: They say they want
to repeal last year’s health
reform plan and they want to
block funding for a new food
safety law. Either they aren’t
paying attention or they
aren’t serious. Both could be
true.
Consider health reform.
No credible person denied
in the years leading up to
this bill that our health care
system was broken. We pay
more than any other Western
country for health care — far
more, in fact — for results
that are only mediocre.
Costs are rising so quickly
that increasing numbers
of employers are looking
to eliminate the benefit, or
pass along costs that gobble
up pay raises. Millions of
Americans lacked insurance,
causing them to go without health care or, in many
cases, to show up in hospital
emergency rooms.
It was a wreck of a system.
It needed fixing. How well
Obama and the Democratic
Congress accomplished
that is a matter of debate.
We think that, in large measure, they missed the boat,
because their approach did
too little to control costs.
Without that component,
reform is liable to fail.
But that doesn’t mean
going back to a broken
system, which is what the
Republicans are proposing. They talk about “reform
and replace,” but as was the
case last year when they did
nothing to improve this bill
— wanting only to obstruct
it — they have had nothing
to say about fixing an urgent
national problem.
That’s leadership? Why
aren’t they proposing a
system to fix health care?
Here’s why: That takes work.
Not only is it much easier
to bellow “Repeal!,” but it
also plays well to the far-
T
Editorial
right elements that wag the
Republican dog.
Fixing health care — which
means acknowledging a
legitimate government role
— is much riskier. It’s also
much more responsible, but
never mind.
As to food safety, only on
[Jan.4] did Obama sign a
$1.4 billion overhaul of the
nation’s food safety system,
but Republicans are already
talking about withholding
funding. The old system,
such as it was, had been
in place since the 1930s.
Techniques have changed.
Standards have risen. And,
more to the point, people
have fallen ill. Several deadly
outbreaks of E. coli and
salmonella poisoning have
occurred in the past few
years in peanuts, eggs and
produce.
The bill passed with
overwhelming support in
Congress and from the food
industry, so the chances of
starving it of funding seem
unlikely.
But the same forces are
at work as in the health
care bill: What is important
is placating the far right,
even if that means returning to a dysfunctional health
care system or exposing
Americans to tainted food.
There is lots more, too.
Republicans also want to
undo the financial reforms
that Congress approved in
the aftermath of the worst
financial crisis since the
Great Depression — a crisis
that was brought on in large
part by the lack of regulations to which many in the
GOP would now like to
return.
Republicans may feel
boxed in. The tea party-types
who are the psychological
rulers of the Republican
roost care nothing for
details; they want only to cut
spending, and the party at
least has to pretend to pay
attention.
But Americans didn’t vote
last year for a return to the
anti-regulatory recklessness
of the Bush years. They want
a government that deals with
real problems in a responsible way. Congressional
Republicans aren’t starting
out on that foot.
If they continue, they may
live to regret the day they sat
down to tea.

Letters to the editor
Global warming not
a matter of opinion
I would like to congratulate
Mr. Donald Huskey (“Manatee
deaths show planet is cooling,”
Letters to the editor, Jan. 12)
for his serious thought on a
very important matter, namely,
global warming. He states that
cold Florida winters, resulting
in increased manatee deaths,
are evidence that the world is
cooling. I have heard a number of people make this same
argument. This argument is
mistaken. Here are a few facts
to consider:
1. Ninety-seven percent of
scientists who are active in
climate research agree that
global warming is a real phenomenon and that humans do
play a role (2007 University of
Illinois survey).
2. The loss of sea ice in the
Arctic has raised ocean temperatures there. This has disrupted “normal” atmospheric
pressure patterns and allows
cold, Arctic air to dip down
into the southern United
States. This causes our cold
snaps that have gotten more
severe in recent years and is a
direct effect of global warm-
ing. (Scientific American, Jan.
5, 2011, Marshall & Stecker and
Climatewire).
3. Weather is local. Climate
change is global. Surveys by
Gallup and the Muhlenberg
College Institute of Public
Opinion have shown that belief
in global warming (by the public) increases after a hot summer and decreases after a cold
winter.
For anyone interested in

article, here is the link:

would cite information from
a recent piece in the New York
Times:
“The new figures confirm
that 2010 will go down as one
of the more remarkable years
in the annals of climatology.
It featured prodigious snowstorms that broke seasonal
records in the United States
and Europe; a record-shattering summer heat wave that
scorched Russia; strong floods
that drove people from their
homes in places like Pakistan,
Australia, California and
Tennessee; a severe die-off of
coral reefs; and a continuation
in the global trend of a warming climate.”
Anyone who can’t see what
is happening — floods in the
southern hemisphere and
unprecedented snowstorms in
the northern — isn’t looking or
is denying science in the name
of politics.
The Times article continues,
“It was the 34th year running

Peter Tuddenham, executive director of The College
of Exploration, LVA’s project

“LVA has used the language
experience approach for the
past 25 years to teach students, but now our new project adds another dimension
to learning with cutting edge
technology and an outdoor,
experiential learning situation,” said Tuddenham.
The language experience
approach is based on activities and stories developed
from the personal experiences
of the learner. The student
relates a story of personal
significance to the teacher/
tutor; the teacher repeats the
story back to the student; they
discuss and elaborate and
the student writes it down.
The tutor gets the student
to expand on the story; the
teacher helps correct the story
and the student then elaborates further. The new story is
written, and re-read.
Students learn and retain
using authentic materials that
have personal relevance in
their lives.
The use of the language
experience approach dates
back at least 40 years. It assists
students with connecting
their own life experiences to
what they are learning about
in and outside of a traditional classroom setting. The
approach, first developed for
Maori-speaking and nativeEnglish-speaking children,
has been used successfully
with learners of all ages.
Harvard educational psychologist Howard Gardner
found that outdoor education
fosters “connected knowing,”
where education is part of,
rather than separate from, life.
Unlike classroom learning,
outdoor education uses the
student’s whole environment
as a source of knowledge. It
includes more than studies
of nature, although learning
about the environment is
certainly an important aspect
of this educational tradition.
It encompasses the use of
the outdoor environment —
whether natural or man-made
— to promote learning from
experience and enrichment of
nearly any subject in the curriculum.

Giffords condition improves
Young victim’s organs go to girl
Breach closes checkpoint
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ condition
improved to serious on Sunday after procedures to remove a ventilator were successful.
Doctors decided to upgrade her from
critical because the tracheotomy done a
day earlier went well, and Giffords was
breathing on her own, hospital spokeswoman Katie Riley said.
Giffords was one of 19 people shot at
a Safeway store Jan. 8. Six people were
killed.
Meanwhile, a week after the Tucson
supermarket massacre, a shooting victim
became distraught during a televised town
hall meeting and was arrested, authorities
said. James Eric Fuller, a self-described
liberal and military veteran, started ranting at the end of the program.
The father of the youngest victim of the
Arizona massacre says some of her organs
have been donated to a young girl in the
Boston area.
John Green tells The Boston Globe in
Sunday’s edition that he received a phone
call about the transplant, but he doesn’t
know any other details about the donation.
He says the call “really lifted” his spirit, and
he and his wife are proud parents once again
of their daughter, “who has done another
amazing thing.”
Nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green was
born Sept. 11, 2001.
She had just been elected to her Tucson
school’s student council, which is why she
went to see Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
A spokesman for the New England Organ
Bank says he can’t comment on donations.
A security checkpoint at New

Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez

one of the airport’s three major terminals. He says he doesn’t know what
the item was. But he says there didn’t
appear to be any malicious intent by
the person who had it.
The checkpoint reopened 45 minutes later. Authorities say the closure didn’t cause any major delays
or problems at the airport, one of the
nation’s busiest.

MLK III: Arizona shootings underscore father’s message
BY RAY HENRY
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — One of the sons of slain civil
rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. said Saturday
evening that the Arizona shootings that claimed
six lives and left a congresswoman critically
wounded show his father’s work must continue.
“Ugliness rears its head,” Martin Luther King
III told a dinner gathering hosted by the King
Center. “And that tragic incident in a real sense
should say to us all that the work of Martin
Luther King Jr. is nowhere near finished because
he tried to teach us how to live in a nation and
world without destroying either person or property.”
“And so the message of nonviolence resonates
strongly, particularly this year after that great
tragedy,” King said.
King III spoke at a King Center tribute to the
late Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy,
honoring his work on civil rights. A posthumous
award was presented to the senator’s widow,
Vicki Kennedy. The senator died at age 77 in
2009, after battling brain cancer.

young United States senator was a demand to
make real the ideal of America and secure the
civil rights of every American,” his wife told
the crowd. “And nearly a half-century later,
the last speech of his life was the call to com-
Giffords, who is recovering from a gunshot to
the head.
Both the Kennedy and King families have
been seared by political violence. President John
Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963,
and King and Sen. Robert Kennedy were slain
months apart in 1968.
“We have always felt that we shared a sense of
destiny,” said Andrew Young, a former Atlanta
mayor who marched alongside King, speaking
of the ties between King’s movement and the
Kennedys.
If they shared a destiny, it was sometimes
tense. Civil rights leaders were frustrated that
the Kennedy administration did not move faster
on the issue, and as attorney general, Robert
Kennedy authorized the wiretapping of King.
Congress passed landmark civil rights legislation following President Kennedy’s assassination, and both Robert Kennedy and King
championed liberal causes over the next four
years. After King was shot dead on April 4, 1968,
Robert Kennedy broke the news of his death to
a mostly black crowd while campaigning for
DAVID GOLDMAN/The Associated Press president in Indianapolis. He quoted the Greek
Yolanda King, 2, left, in the arms of her mother
tragedian Aeschylus.
Andrea King, right, looks up Thursday at a portrait
“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forof her grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
get falls drop by drop upon the heart until,”
Kennedy said, “in our own despair, against our
plete the journey.”
Although the dinner was a celebration, King’s will, comes wisdom through the awful grace
children and sister were mindful of the Jan. 8 of God.”
Edward and Robert Kennedy attended King’s
assassination attempt on Arizona Rep. Gabrielle
funeral in Atlanta. Two months later, Robert
Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles after
winning the California primary.
King’s followers found in Edward Kennedy
an ally.
“My brother was the first president of the
United States to state publicly that segregation
was wrong,” a 32-year-old Edward Kennedy said
on the Senate floor as the chamber considered
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “His heart and soul
are in this bill. If his life and death had a meaning, it was that we should not hate but love one
another; we should use our powers not to create
conditions of oppression that lead to violence,
but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”
A friend of Coretta Scott King, Edward
Kennedy sponsored legislation that made King’s
birthday a national holiday. He joined the King
family in Atlanta for the first King Day celebration in 1986. Speakers on Saturday noted that
Edward Kennedy supported sanctions against
the apartheid regime in South Africa, backed
expanding access to health care and endorsed
Barack Obama, who became the first black man
elected president.
King was a hero to Kennedy, his wife said.
“On this day, let us rededicate ourselves to
what is best in our country,” she said. “Surely
we know it when we live it, as these two men
lived not just for themselves, but for others.
One of them told us, ‘I have a dream.’ The other
affirmed, ‘The dream shall never die.’”
NC town to host 1st King
Day tribute celebration
School board member
blasts MLK Day on radio
BY P. SOLOMON BANDA
GREELEY, Colo. — A local
school board member and
radio station owner has come
under fire for airing an editorial
denouncing the holiday honoring slain civil rights leader Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. The broadcaster remains unrepentant and
defiant in the wake of community outcry.
Brett Reese is airing the editorial four times daily — up from
two — on his station KELS-FM
104.7. He is unapologetic that
portions of the editorial that call
King a “plastic god,” a “sexual
degenerate,” and “an Americahating communist” appear verbatim on a website with links to
a white supremacist group.
“Facts are facts, truth is truth,”
he said, adding that he might
pre-empt other programing to
air the editorial round the clock.
The 40-year-old former carpenter claims he helped build houses
for Habitat for Humanity in the
Mississippi Delta and once dated
an African-American woman. He
insists he’s not racist.
The Mountain States AntiDefamation League has asked
Reese to stop broadcasting
the editorial. The school board
passed a resolution last week
supporting the holiday and calling the editorial “inflammatory
and detrimental to our district
and community.” The vote came
after Reese walked out of the
meeting.
“Timed as they are, Mr. Reese’s
words demean the existence of
the Martin Luther King holiday and its honoring of not just
Reverend King but of his messages of equal rights, peaceful demonstration, civility and respect,”
the board said in its resolution.
Mayor Tom Norton, a former
state legislator, said Reese’s views
don’t represent Greeley, which
holds an annual MLK Day march
and celebration.
“I find it difficult to figure out
where he’s coming from,” Norton
said.
Reese said some advertisers
have departed the low-power
FM station, which he has owned
since 2000, over the editorial.
But he said he is financially able
to survive indefinitely without
sponsors. He said he’s received
death threats.
He also said that he’s not trying to become a lightning rod for
debate over the holiday, which
was controversial in some states
at its inception.
“That’s not what my push is. I
think it’s important for people to
discuss any issue openly, freely

Brett Reese is at the controls Friday in the studio of his radio station in
Greeley, Colo.
and without being assassinated
or bankrupted,” says Reese.
He’s an elected member of the
Greeley-Evans School District 6
board since 2009. The Greeley
Tribune began writing about
the radio editorial earlier this
month.
Reese had aired the editorial,
which he said was sent to the
station in an anonymous letter,
in relative obscurity for the past
three Januarys.
Greeley, about 60 miles north
of Denver, is nestled in the center of mostly agricultural Weld
County and has a large meatpacking plant, JBS Swift & Co.,
which was hit in a 2006 federal
raid targeting illegal immigrant
workers.
“It’s a very conservative town,”
said Ceta Mercadal, 21, a sociology and Africana studies major
at the University of Northern
Colorado, who grew up in New
Orleans and is African-American.
“When I first got here, I felt like I
was one of a kind.”
Many of the claims in Reese’s
editorial were spun out of FBI
efforts in the 1960s to discredit
King, including charges of marital infidelities.
“It’s hurtful and totally unnecessary,” said Sabrina Harms, 17,
a senior at Greeley West High
School, one of four high schools in
the district. “Thank you for sharing the information but I think
that Martin Luther King’s accomplishments stand as they are.”
Reese said he began carrying a
.45 caliber semi-automatic handgun, including to school board
meetings, because of the death
threats.
But that stopped Thursday
after a judge issued a restraining order over alleged threats
he made to a rival radio station
about would-be advertisers.
A court hearing is scheduled
for Jan. 21.
GARNER, N.C. — A Wake County town is holding its
first tribute to slain civil rights leader Martin Luther
King on Sunday. The celebration comes just three years
after the mayor outraged black leaders by saying he
didn’t want any more southeast Raleigh students at
Garner schools.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that Garner
pastor David Forbes, who met King, will lead the celebration. He’ll talk about his own experience being arrested
for ordering a Coke at a Raleigh Woolworth’s store.
Forbes said the celebration shows the peace that has
been found in the small town in the period since Mayor
Ronnie Williams angered black leaders with his comments about students from southeast Raleigh.
Williams insisted his remarks had nothing to do with
race. He said his concerns were over busing in students
from Raleigh who received free or reduced-priced
lunches.
In 2008, Forbes called Williams’ statement the latest
insult from Garner directed toward black students. This
week, though, his tone had changed.
“Martin Luther King cannot be denied as a patriot whose work in civil rights has touched everyone.
Certainly it has impacted Garner,” Forbes said, pointing
out that he grew up in southeast Raleigh and now lives
in Garner.
Williams said there’s been no discussion of his earlier comments during planning for the Garner event.
“That’s part of the past,” Williams said. “It’s not something we’ve dwelled on.”
The mayor said he had been mulling the idea for
Garner’s King Day event for four years.
“It’s sort of come full circle,” said David Prince, a
Garner resident who is helping to organize King events
there and in Raleigh. “The mayor reached out. ... Now
I’m beginning to know the mayor after working on the
MLK committee in Garner.”

WTC responders health act: Who is covered?
BY DAVID B. CARUSO
CRAIG RUTTLE/The Associated Press
Retired New York City Detectives John Walcott, left, and Richard Volpe
pose for a portrait Thursday in Tarrytown, N.Y.
yet been linked to the dust.
“I’m hoping that when they
set up the parameters ... my
most serious illness is going to
be included,” said Volpe, who
also suffers from mild respiratory problems.
“I got diagnosed at 34 years
old. I was as healthy as I have
ever been. To me, it’s not a
coincidence,” he said of his
exposure to the ash and dust
and the sudden onset of his
symptoms.
Volpe’s old partner in the
detective bureau, John Walcott,
is in a similar situation. He was
diagnosed in 2003 with acute
myelogenous leukemia.
There has been tremendous
pressure from first responders to add at least some types
of cancer to the list of conditions presumed to be caused
by trade center dust. Some of
the police officers, firefighters
and construction workers who
campaigned hardest for the
law suffer from some form of
cancer.
Yet, scientists say that so far
they have been unable to link
cancer to the dust, and although
theories abound about how the
soot might have triggered the
disease in some people, there
might not be solid evidence
one way or another for many
years.
To Walcott, an omission of
cancer from the program would
be inconceivable.
“They have to add it,” Walcott
said. “If they don’t, they’re going
to have another 5,000 lawsuits
on their hands. Everybody I
talk to says, ‘Don’t worry about
it. It will be covered.’”
The task of deciding who
qualifies for compensation,
and who doesn’t, will eventually fall to the program’s special master, who has yet to be
appointed. U.S. Sen. Charles
Schumer has already suggested
the job should go to Kenneth
Feinberg, the lawyer who oversaw the original compensation
fund for 9/11 victims.
This administrator will have
discretion over the cash payments that are to be distributed to people sickened by the
dust, but will probably be guided by rules created over the
next few months by the Justice
Department and Department
of Health and Human Services.
More than 55,000 people
who either worked at the trade
center site or were exposed to
the dust in Lower Manhattan
are enrolled in a medical
monitoring program. Of those,
about 17,000 received some
type of medical treatment
within the past year, according to the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and
Health. The people getting care
have blamed hundreds of different ailments on trade center
toxins, from heart attacks, to
skin cancer, to chronic cough.
A separate administrator
overseeing a companion $1.5
billion health program for
responders will also have the
power to put additional diseases on the list of ailments for
which the government shoulders treatment costs.
Before shooting, suspect embarked on chaotic night
BY JUSTIN PRITCHARD
AND MICHAEL R. BLOOD
TUCSON, Ariz. — He wandered through the dark streets
of his hometown, meandering
from one store to another on
a furious all-night excursion as
he prepared what authorities
say were the final steps in taking revenge on a world from
which he’d become progressively alienated.
Jared Loughner checked into
a down-and-out motel. He
picked up photos showing him
holding a Glock 19 while wearing only a bright red G-string.
He
bought
ammunition on
one of three trips
to two different
Walmarts.
He called a
high-school
pot-smoking
Loughner
buddy, ran away
from his father into a cactusdotted desert and updated
his MySpace profile to say,
“Goodbye friends.”
Michelle Martinez ran into
Loughner during his rambling
odyssey. She and some friends
were hanging out in the neighborhood when a sullen figure
emerged from the darkness
in a black hooded sweatshirt
and startled them. Loughner
picked his way through the
group rather than walk around
them, offering a deep, distant
“What’s up?” He then quickened his pace and disappeared
into the darkness.
“I had a feeling he was thinking about something,” said
Martinez, who knew Loughner
from their school days. “It was
just kind of weird.”
The encounter epitomizes
Loughner’s final hours as he
became increasingly unhinged,
culminating, authorities say,
with him opening fire on a
crowd of people at an event
for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Six
people were killed and 13 were
wounded amid a barrage of
bullets from a Glock 19.
Officials do not know what
pushed the 22-year-old mentally disturbed loner over the edge,
but interviews, records and a
police chronology released Friday provide a fuller picture of
his movements that in many
ways reflect his scattered mind.
It would all play out within
a few miles from the modest,
single-story home where he
grew up and lived all his life
— save for a brief attempt he
made at living in an apartment
by himself.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. — A frenzied manhunt for a suspected
cop killer ended early Sunday
morning in the bedroom of
a Camden apartment, where
a SWAT team
arrested the 19year-old suspect without
incident.
Just over 38
hours after Lakewood Patrolman
Crockam
ChristopherMatlosz was gunned down behind
the wheel of his patrol car, a
15-member task force of State
Police and U.S. Marshals officers surrounded an apartment
where a tipster told police they
could find the suspect, Jahmell
W. Crockam.
“We were able to get consent for entry, and it was over
very quickly,” said State Police
Major Edward Cetnar. “He was
upstairs in the bedroom.”
Ten of the officers raced
into the apartment at about
6:30 a.m. and quickly arrested
Crockam, who did not put up
any resistance. He did not seem
surprised that authorities had
tracked him down, Cetnar said.

York
She died
of cancer Saturday at the
Royal Marsden Hospital in
London. Her son, the actor
Orlando Wells, said York was
an incredibly brave woman
who did not complain about
her illness and a “truly wonderful mother.” He said she
went into the hospital on Jan.
6 after experiencing shoulder
pain.
York had a long, distinguished career on film, television and on stage, but she
is best remembered for her
early roles, when she had
an immediate impact that
started with her 1963 role as
Albert Finney’s love interest in the memorable period
piece romp “Tom Jones.”
With its tongue-in-cheek
sensuality and gentle sendup of the British aristocracy,
the film is remembered as an
early landmark in 1960s cinema, and York’s unmistakable
presence added to its appeal.
Her long blond hair, stunning
blue eyes and quick-witted
repartee brought her a string
of excellent roles.
York acted with major stars
like Sean Connery, Elizabeth
Taylor, Marlon Brando,
George C. Scott and many
others, stirring some controversy with her daring portrayal of a lesbian in the 1968
drama “The Killing of Sister
George.”
In 1972, York won the Best
Actress award at the Cannes
Film Festival.
York was born in London
and studied at the storied
Royal Academy of Dramatic
Art, which has tutored
many of Britain’s top actors
throughout the years.

Scanlan captured the

a night of playing the piano,
walking across a Las Vegas

She said she’ll register to

NEW YORK — There is no
doubt that Richard Volpe is
sick, and no doubt that the former police detective spent 9/11
breathing in clouds of soot at
the World Trade Center.
Yet that is no guarantee that
the ex-cop, or many others like
him, will qualify for a substantial share of the $2.78 billion
Congress has set aside to compensate people who fell ill after
being exposed to ground zero
toxins.
Like thousands of other
rescue and recovery workers,
Volpe suffers from an ailment
that is not expressly covered
by the law. Only a few diseases
were singled out by name in
the act, including asthma, certain types of lung disease and
a handful of other respiratory
ailments. They were included
because research has suggested there is a link between those
illnesses and the tons of caustic dust that blanketed lower
Manhattan after the twin towers collapsed.
Federal administrators still
have to decide whether to
cover other conditions, like
cancer, where there is less hard
evidence of a tie to ground zero
toxins.
Volpe’s problem, a kidney
disease called IgA nephropathy, is among those that haven’t

Daughter succeeds father
3 young women die in stampede
Foes wary of reconciliation
France’s far-right National Front
party elected the daughter of its
founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen, as its new
leader Sunday, who says she wants to
broaden the appeal of a party known
best for its anti-immigration, antiIslam platform.
Le Pen, who has been convicted
for minimizing the Holocaust, left the
leadership of the party he created 38
years ago by dropping an anti-Semitic
reference about a journalist at a weekend party gathering.
Marine Le Pen, 42, won slightly
more than two-thirds of the vote in an
election at a National Front convention in the central city of Tours — easily beating the other candidate, longtime party No. 2 Bruno Gollnisch.
Three young women died in a stampede at a Hungarian nightclub, police
said Sunday. Five people, including the
organizers of the event, were taken into
custody.
Thousands of people were caught up in
the stampede late Saturday and the victims may have been trampled by the rushing crowd, Budapest police spokeswoman
Katalin Fanni Horvath said.
Police and medical investigators were
working to determine the cause of the
deaths. Police have denied reports that the
victims were stabbed.
“Human irresponsibility caused the
deaths of the three victims,” Interior
Minister Sandor Pinter told reporters
late Sunday, adding that drugs had been
detected in one of the young women.
Venezuela’s opposition reacted warily
to a call for conciliation from President
Hugo Chavez, saying the socialist leader has spent years in office disparaging
them as “bandits” and repeatedly stating that reconciliation was impossible.
Chavez made the call for mutual
respect Saturday during a marathon
address to the new National Assembly,
which includes a strong opposition
presence for the first time in years.
“We have a president who spends 365
days a year lashing out at the media, the
church, NGOs, fighting with everyone
and then he tells us one day that he
wants dialogue,” said Julio Borges, an
opposition lawmaker who sat through
the president’s 7-hour state-of-thenation speech.
Residents light candles to form the date when a powerful earthquake
that struck this western port city of Kobe on Jan. 17, 1995, at a park

lives.
Premier won’t quit over debt crisis
BY SHAWN POGATCHNIK
DUBLIN — Irish Prime
Minister Brian Cowen faced a
fight for political survival Sunday
as he rebuffed pressure to resign
and a senior Cabinet colleague
announced he would challenge
him for the party leadership.
Foreign Minister Micheal
Martin said he had “reluctantly concluded” that Cowen
would have to be forced from
office since he refused to go
voluntarily. The two face a
showdown Tuesday when
lawmakers of the long-ruling
Fianna Fail party gather to
vote whether to keep Cowen
or promote Martin.
At stake is the course of
Ireland’s fightback from a
European-record deficit amid
a euro67.5 billion ($90 billion)
international bailout. The leadership tussle within Fianna
Fail — “Soldiers of Destiny”
in Gaelic — raised new doubt
over whether lawmakers would
be able to pass a deficit-slashing bill without a national election first.
For the second time in four
days, Cowen defied expectations and refused to quit in the
face of mounting opposition
within Fianna
Fail to his leadership.
Instead,
Cowen announCowen
ced he would
ask his party’s
legislators to take a vote of confidence in him Tuesday. Cowen
said he was assured of winning the secret-ballot vote and
lead Fianna Fail to a seventh
straight election victory.
Hours later Martin — one
of three Cabinet ministers who
have signaled their desire to
succeed Cowen — became
the first to declare a challenge.
Martin said he had tendered
his resignation as foreign minister because he no longer supported Cowen and would ask
lawmakers to back him instead
Tuesday.
Many lawmakers want
Cowen to quit immediately in
hopes that their party might
fare better with a new leader in
place for an election expected
to take place sometime this
spring. Cowen, who was finance
minister before gaining the top
post in 2008, is closely associated with the property-pushing
tax policies that have brought
Ireland to financial ruin.
Fianna Fail has governed
Ireland almost continuously
since 1987, but has plummeted
to historic lows in recent opinion polls.
Opposition leaders, meanwhile, still intend to pursue their
own no-confidence motion
in parliament against Cowen
— and pleaded for Fianna Fail
to declare an election date.
Fianna Fail has sought to delay
that vote as long as possible.
“The longer (the Irish government) stays in power, the
greater the damage that is
being done to the economy
and to our international reputation. This government should
go,” said Gerry Adams, leader
of the Irish nationalist Sinn
Fein party.
Cowen rose to power as
Ireland’s 13-year Celtic Tiger
economic boom was giving way to a property-market
implosion and banking crisis.
He has faced rising accusations
in recent weeks of making decisions that benefited corrupt
bankers far more than taxpayers, who have been burdened
with a bank-rescue bill expected to top $65 billion.
1st US ambassador in 5 years arrives in Syria
BY ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY
BEIRUT — The first American ambassador to
Syria since 2005 arrived in Damascus on Sunday
at a time of regional turmoil and with SyrianU.S. relations still mired in mutual distrust.
Few expect immediate changes, but having
career diplomat Robert Ford in Damascus offers
Washington a better glimpse into Syria at a time
of rising tensions — particularly in neighboring
Lebanon, where the Western-backed government collapsed last week.
“Intelligence sharing is the most promising
overlap in U.S.-Syrian relations,” said Joshua
Landis, an American professor and Syria
expert. He noted that like Washington, Syria’s
secular regime is against al-Qaida and “takfiri”
Islamists, referring to an ideology that urges
Sunni Muslims to kill anyone they consider an
infidel.
President Barack Obama’s administration
has argued that returning an ambassador to
Damascus would help persuade Syria to change
its policies regarding Lebanon, Israel and Iraq
and end its support for extremist groups.
Syria is designated a “state sponsor of terrorism” by the State Department.
Ford takes up his post just days after the government in Lebanon collapsed when Hezbollah,
which gets key support from Syria and Iran,
walked out of the Cabinet on Wednesday.
The government fell after months of tensions
stemming from a U.N.-backed investigation
into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime
TUNIS, Tunisia — Major
gunbattles erupted outside

Rural towns brace for high river peaks
MELBOURNE, Australia — Record floods were
predicted in several rural Australian communities Monday as rivers swollen from upstream
rain flowed heavily into southern states.
Officials expected floodwaters to drown out
highways and isolate dozens of towns in northeastern Victoria state in some of the worst
flooding in a century.
State Emergency Services spokeswoman
Natasha Duckett warned that the town of
Horsham could face a major flood during
Monday’s expected peak of the Wimmera
River, and electricity supplier Powercor was
sandbagging its substation there to ensure it
remained dry.
“The Wimmera River is higher than the levels
seen in September 2010 and it’s still rising,”
Duckett said. “The township could be bisected
with a waterway right through the middle of
town and the (Western) Highway cut.”
Up to 500 properties in the town of about
14,000 people could be affected.
More than 3,500 people have evacuated their
homes in north-central Victoria state, with 43
towns and 1,500 properties already affected by
rising waters.
People were watching warily after witnessing the devastation floods have wreaked in
Queensland state.
Three weeks of flooding in the northeastern state left a vast territory underwater and
caused 28 deaths, most of them from a flash
flood that hit towns west of Brisbane on Jan. 10.
Fourteen people are still missing.
Flooding has also spread from Queensland
into New South Wales, where nearly 7,000 people are reliant on airdrops of food and other
supplies after being isolated by floodwaters.
‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier back in Haiti after long exile
BY JACOB KUSHNER
BASSEM TELLAWI/The Associated Press
The U.S. embassy building is seen Wednesday in
Damascus, Syria.
Minister Rafik Hariri. Many have blamed the
killing on Syria and Hezbollah. President George
W. Bush’s administration withdrew a full-time
ambassador from Syria in 2005 in part to protest
Hariri’s assassination.
Both Syria and Hezbollah deny any links to
the assassination, which galvanized opposition
to Damascus in 2005 and sparked huge street
demonstrations that helped end Syria’s 29-year
military presence in Lebanon and paved the
way for pro-Western parties — led by Saad
Hariri, the slain man’s son — to head the government in subsequent elections.
The tribunal is expected to issue indictments
soon, and many expect the Shiite militant group
Hezbollah to be named. The indictments could
rekindle violence in Lebanon, which has been
plagued for decades by war and civil strife.
With Syria’s backing, Hezbollah has demanded Saad Hariri break off Lebanon’s ties with the
tribunal, but he has refused.

Police arrested dozens of
people, including the top
presidential security chief, as
tensions appeared to mount
between Tunisians buoyant
over Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s
departure and loyalists in danger of losing major perks.
There were cheers and smiles
in much of Tunis, the capital, as
residents tore down the massive portraits of Ben Ali, some
of them several stories high,
that hung from lampposts and
billboards and were omnipresent during his 23-year reign.
Prime Minister Mohamed
Ghannouchi said that a new
national unity government will
“most certainly” be announced
Monday “to open a new page in
the history of Tunisia.”
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti —
Former Haitian dictator JeanClaude “Baby Doc” Duvalier
returned Sunday to Haiti after
Duvalier
nearly 25 years in exile, a surprising and perplexing move that comes as his
country struggles with a political crisis and the
stalled effort to recover from last year’s devastating earthquake.
Duvalier, wearing a dark suit and tie, arrived
on an Air France jet to hugs from supporters at
the Port-au-Prince airport.
He was calm as he was led into the immigra-
tion office. He left the airport without making
a statement to journalists, waving to a crowd
of more than 200 supporters as he got into an
SUV.
“He is happy to be back in this country,
back in his home,” said Mona Beruaveau, a
candidate for Senate in a Duvalierist party who
spoke to the former dictator inside the immigration office. “He is tired after a long trip.”
Beruaveau said he would give a news conference on Monday.
In the fall of 2007, President Rene Preval
told reporters that Duvalier could return to
Haiti but would face justice for the deaths of
thousands of people and the theft of millions
of dollars.
US pomp hopefully lightens tone of China relations
BY CHRISTOPHER BODEEN
BEIJING — Chinese leader
Hu Jintao is being feted in
Washington this week with
a lavish state banquet at
the White House and other
pomp usually reserved for
close friends and allies — all
intended to improve the tone
of relations between a risen,
more assertive and prosperous China and the U.S. superpower in a tenuous economic
recovery.
The shaky trust between the
United States and China has
been eroding recently because
of an array of issues — currency policies and trade barriers, nuclear proliferation and
North Korea, and both sides
seem to recognize the need to
recalibrate relations.
The U.S. is one of China’s
biggest markets, with $380
billion in annual trade largely
in Beijing’s favor. Washington
increasingly needs Beijing’s
help in managing world troubles, from piracy off Africa to
Iran’s nuclear program and
reinvigorating the world economy.
Hu sounded a conciliatory
tone in a rare interview with
U.S. newspapers ahead of his
visit, saying the two countries could mutually benefit
by finding “common ground”
on issues ranging from combatting terrorism and nuclear
proliferation to clean energy
and infrastructure initiatives.
“There is no denying that
there are some differences and
sensitive issues between us,”
Hu said in written answers to
questions submitted by The
Washington Post and The
Wall Street Journal which were
published over the weekend.
“We both stand to gain from a
sound China-U.S. relationship,
and lose from confrontation.”
Hu called for more dialogues
and exchanges to enhance
“practical cooperation,” stressing the need to “abandon the
zero-sum Cold War mentality”
in U.S.-China relations.
Center for Strategic and
International Studies scholar
Charles Freeman, a former
trade negotiator in the George
W. Bush administration, said,
“It is absolutely critical for the
two sides to be setting a tone
that says ‘hang on a second,
we are committed to an effective, positive relationship.’”

Long day for Wilson ends in victory
HONOLULU — Mark Wilson made it through a
marathon Sunday at the Sony Open without a bogey
and held on for a two-shot victory that earns him
his first trip to the Masters.
Wilson shot a 5-under 65 in the morning to take
a one-shot lead into the afternoon round. He built
a four-shot lead at the turn, then had to hang on
when Tim Clark and Steve Marino made late runs on
different sides of Waialae.
Clark birdied three of his last four holes, and narrowly missed an eagle putt on the ninth hole for a
64. Marino made two late birdies, then hit a fairway
metal with his feet in the bunker and the ball on
the side of a hill about chest-high. He managed to
reach the green, but his eagle putt turned away for
a 66.
Wilson made one last birdie for a 67 to earn his
third career victory.
AL MVP Hamilton out of hospital
ARLINGTON, Texas — American League MVP Josh
Hamilton is out of the hospital.
The Texas Rangers said in a statement that their
slugging outfielder was discharged Sunday afternoon
from the Medical Center of Arlington, five days after
he was admitted for treatment of an early case of
pneumonia.
The team statement says Hamilton should be
able to resume his conditioning and baseball activities within a few days.
Hamilton was diagnosed Monday with an early
case of pneumonia and was hospitalized Tuesday
morning. The Rangers said Sunday that he remained
hospitalized for the rest of the week “to receive complete rest and accelerate his full recovery.”
Hamilton hit a majors-leading .359 with 32 homers and 100 RBIs last season for the AL champion
Rangers.
KEY WEST – Roughly four years
ago, after Russell Coutts, skipper of
reigning America’s Cup champion
Oracle Racing, conceived the new
one-hull design vessel, the RC 44
class started racing in Dubai, Saudi
Arabia.
“I think the concept really is that
it’s a miniature America’s Cup boat,”
said Larry Leonard, a crew member
aboard the Ironbound, one of only
two U.S. teams entered in the class
this week.”
This year, during the 24th edition
of the Key West race week, the hot,
new class will make its first trip to
the renowned mid-winter regatta,
which is only its second competitive
outing in North American waters.
“The main reason is to have fun,”
Coutts said about bringing the class
to Key West. “The whole atmosphere is very laid back, and it is
a great regatta to show the boat.

It also has a lot of sail area for its

TENNIS: AUSTRALIAN OPEN
Sharapova gets things started with win
BY JOHN PYE
MELBOURNE, Australia — Maria Sharapova
won for the first time at Melbourne Park since
taking the 2008 Australian Open title, beating
Thai veteran Tamarine Tanasugarn, 6-1, 6-3,
today in the opening match on center court.
Sharapova, the former top-ranked player
who missed the 2009 Australian Open because
of a shoulder injury and was ousted in the
first round last year by fellow Russian Maria
Kirilenko, struggled with her serve and was
inconsistent in the second set. After losing the
opening service game at love, Sharapova won
seven straight games to take a 6-1, 1-0 lead.
The 33-year-old Tamarine, clearly not in peak
physical condition, rallied and had a game point
on serve for a 4-1 lead, but Sharapova broke
back and regained momentum, winning the last
five games.
Even when she was winning, though,
Sharapova had trouble finding range with her
serve. She had 10 double-faults and five aces.
Nerves had a role in that.
“I definitely felt that in the beginning. I knew I
had an early exit last year and didn’t want that to
happen this year,” said Sharapova, who has the
goal in Australia of “staying aggressive and little
by little trying to get my game better, maybe to
where it was a few years ago and maybe better
than that.”
In other women’s first-round matches, Russia’s
Evgeniya Rodina ousted Australian wild-card
entry Olivia Rogowska, 6-3, 6-1.
Julien Benneteau of France withdrew before
his first-round match because of an infected finger on his right hand. The 29-year-old
Benneteau, a right-hander, was scheduled to
play 26th-seeded Juan Monaco of Argentina.
Benneteau’s spot in the draw was given to lucky
loser Simon Greul of Germany.
Defending champion Roger Federer was to
play Lukas Lacko of Slovakia in the third match
on Rod Laver Arena, where he has won four
previous Australian titles.
Federer and top-ranked Rafael Nadal were
behaving like best mates at Rod Laver Arena
— high-fiving, hugging, shaking hands and
laughing at each other’s jokes on Sunday night
in the exhibition “Rally for Relief” fundraiser for
victims of the fatal floods in Australia’s northeastern Queensland state. It’ll be a completely
different story if they’re back on the same court
in two weeks.
Nadal has won the three Grand Slam titles
since Federer won here in Australia and is aiming to become the first man since Laver in 1969
to win four straight majors. It’s being dubbed
the “Rafa Slam.”
The pair played on opposite sides of the net,
and then played together against Kim Clijsters
and Sam Stosur in front of a capacity crowd of
15,000 that paid to watch a host of tennis stars
in the fundraiser. Novak Djokovic and Andy
Roddick wore microphones and joked with the
crowd, playing alongside and against the likes of
Caroline Wozniacki and Victoria Azarenka in the
celebrity hit-and-giggle exhibition.
Neither Federer nor Nadal wore microphones
when they played a little later. It was mostly
smiles, but there were glimpses of competitive
intensity when they faced each other in mixed
doubles.
At their exhibition Sunday, Federer said Nadal
has “been playing incredible.”
“An incredible run through the French,
Wimbledon, U.S. Open — it was incredible to
see. Then obviously it’s hard to maintain. But
he’s going to be for sure ready for this,” Federer
said. “I’ll follow it very closely. If I get a chance, I
hope I can stop him.”

Wozniacki takes on Gisela Dulko of Argentina

Cardinals’ Albert Pujols sheds no light on contract talks
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols
repeatedly has said he wants
to spend his entire career with
the St. Louis Cardinals. Staring
at a spring training deadline for
contract negotiations, the team
chairman remains hopeful the
three-time NL MVP will get his
wish.
Pujols declined Sunday to
provide any kind of update on
negotiations. His agent has said
he will cut off talks at the start of
spring training if an agreement
is not in place, and general manager John Mozeliak confirmed
the deadline on Saturday.
A representative of Pujols’
agent stood to the slugger’s left
and deflected questions on the
topic at Sunday’s news conference before the first baseman held a two-hour, sold-out
autograph session at the team’s
Winter Warmup.
“Do you want to bring all
that into the clubhouse all year,
like you guys have been doing
the last couple of years?” Pujols
said. “No. I respect my teammates more than this contract.

some deadline on this, and
that’s it.”

NFL backs state regulations for youth concussions
BY ERIC OLSON
OMAHA, Neb. — The NFL is helping craft
legislation in states around the country that
would protect young athletes from the longterm effects of concussions.
Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha last week introduced a bill in Nebraska that aims to raise
coaches’ awareness of symptoms and prevent
athletes from returning to practice or competition too soon.
Prevention of head trauma has been a major
issue in the NFL the past year. The league has
implemented new standards for the management of concussions and has cracked down on
hits to the head.
“We felt a responsibility, with our platform, to
advocate for better treatment of kids, who have
more risk than adults do,” said Jeff Miller, NFL
senior vice president for government affairs.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention estimates about 135,000 children
ages 5 to 18 are treated in emergency rooms
each year for sports- or recreation-related concussions and other head trauma. Symptoms
can include headache, nausea, dizziness and
trouble concentrating, and may last about a
week. Sometimes it can take months to recover.
Research indicates repeat concussions can
lead to brain damage, depression and memory
problems including Alzheimer’s disease. Young
athletes are believed to be more vulnerable than
adults to lasting damage because their brains
are still developing.
The Nebraska bill, like others, would require
public and private high schools, as well as other
youth sports organizations, to provide coaches
with training on how to recognize symptoms of
concussions.
Athletes and their parents or guardians would
be given information each year on the symptoms and risks associated with head trauma.
The bill also would require a licensed healthcare professional to evaluate an athlete and
provide written clearance before the athlete is
allowed to resume participation.
The NFL worked with the Nebraska State
Athletic Trainers’ Association and the Brain Injury
Association of Nebraska to produce the bill.
The template is the “Zackery Lystedt Law”
passed in Washington in May 2009. Lystedt
must use a wheelchair after sustaining a catastrophic brain injury in a middle-school football
game in 2006.
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island and
Virginia also have adopted concussion legislation governing youth concussions in recent
years.
“We have made a commitment to assist in the
passage of 10 more similar bills in the next year
and continue our advocacy around the country
until every state has a concussion law,” Miller
said.
The laws do not mandate punishment for failure to follow the guidelines. Miller said a coach
would be open to a civil lawsuit if an athlete
under his or her watch were injured because
the injured athlete was allowed to participate
too soon.
Rusty McKune, president of the state athletic
trainers’ association, said the intent of the bill is to
create awareness, not punish. He said he doubts a
coach would intentionally hurt an athlete.
“We’re hoping that by providing people with
all the up-to-date facts out there on concussions that they’ll be able to make the right
choice rather than doing it out of fear of repercussions,” McKune said.

Sanchez came right back with a 7-yard scoring pass to Santonio Holmes and New York
finished the upset with Shonn Greene’s 16-yard
touchdown run.
The Jets (13-5) kept Ryan’s prediction of a
Super Bowl appearance alive. The Patriots
(14-3) lost their third straight postseason
game.
“Maybe everybody else never believed, but
we believed,” Ryan said. “We’re moving on.
Same old Jets, back to the AFC championship.
The only difference is this time we plan on
winning.”
They lost last season to Indianapolis 30-17,
but now have another chance for their first
Super Bowl berth since 1969 when another
loudmouth, “Broadway Joe” Namath, backed
up his guarantee with a 16-9 win over the
Baltimore Colts.
Ryan has said many times that the Jets are
a Super Bowl-caliber team, and has irritated
fans, opposing players and media with his
bold remarks. Last week he said the game was
a contest between him and Patriots coach Bill
Belichick. Then, after Antonio Cromartie called
Brady an expletive on Tuesday, Ryan said he
wouldn’t punish his cornerback.

MATT SLOCUM/The Associated Press
Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown beats Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb on a long pass during the second half thier divisional
football game on Saturday in Pittsburgh. The play set up Rashard Mendenhall’s touchdown to give the Steelers the 31-24 win.
“It wasn’t our best day today,” said
wide receiver Hines Ward, who scored
a touchdown. “But anytime we have
Ben on the field, he is a winner. He
may not be (Tom) Brady or all the
other guys, but you can’t knock the
guy for what he has done. History
shows he is a proven winner against
Baltimore. He is a proven winner in
the playoffs.”
Roethlisberger has won his last
seven starts against the Ravens since
2006. He began the season serving a
four-game suspension and expects
to finish it hoisting high the Vince
Lombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl.
To get there, he will have to beat a
team that defeated Pittsburgh earlier.
The New York Jets edged the Steelers
22-17 in December.
On Saturday night, Roethlisberger
didn’t care to think about a rematch.
his conqueror on the back with his left hand
and shared some words.
“We just didn’t do enough things well today,”
Belichick said. “It’s obvious.”
Sanchez completed 16 of 25 passes for 194
yards and touchdowns to LaDainian Tomlinson,
Braylon Edwards and Holmes. Brady, who
played poorly for his second straight postseason game, was 29-for-45 for 299 yards, two
touchdowns and one interception.
“I don’t even know what to say right now,”
Tomlinson said. “What an unbelievable win for
our team.”
After Greene scored the Jets last touchdown,
he put the ball on the ground like a pillow and
rested his head on it. A quiet climax to a loud
week.
Now Sanchez gets a chance to beat one of the
NFL’s best quarterbacks for the third straight
week when he faces Ben Roethslisberger after
knocking off Peyton Manning, who won the
NFL’s last two MVP awards and Brady, who is a
favorite to win his second in four years.
“He’s just now getting better and better and
better,” Ryan said.
The Steelers have been installed as 3-point
favorites.
In one of their worst halves of the season,
the Patriots looked more like the ragged group
that went 5-11 in Belichick’s first season in
2000 than the steamrolling machine that led
the NFL this season with a 14-2 record and 32.4
points per game.
In the first two quarters, Brady absorbed
three sacks and was sent scrambling at least
that many times. He misfired on an interception on his first series after finishing the season
with a league-record streak of 335 passes without a pick.
Then on the Patriots fifth possession, trailing just 7-3, they botched a fake punt attempt.
Patrick Chung took the short snap and fumbled. He got the ball back but all escape routes
closed quickly. He was tackled at the Patriots 37
with 1:06 remaining.
Plenty of time for Sanchez.
“You like to play teams that you lose
to. Right now that is not on my mind,”
he said. “I’m going to enjoy this win
and see what happens.”
Roethlisberger knows all about
playing in the AFC championship
game and Super Bowl, but there are
others on this team preparing for their
first such foray this deep into the
postseason.
Safety Ryan Clark said: “What’s
funny is coach Tomlin, at the beginning of the playoffs, put names on the
board of all the guys who were playing
big roles for us right now who weren’t
here for the last Super Bowl run:
Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders,
Rashard Mendenhall, Ziggy Hood.
“He said what guys like James Farrior
and Troy Polamalu would do. But the
difference was going to be what those
young guys do,” Clark said. “You look

Seattle racked up 353 yards
without a turnover in a 23-20
victory over the Bears.
“We just played our game,”
Peppers said. “We executed.
And really that’s it. We executed
today better than we did in the
previous meeting. Everybody
was sound. We had Lance back,
which was a big help. For the
most part, everybody was taking care of their own jobs.”
This was what Chicago had
in mind when it signed Peppers
in the offseason. He’s paid off
in a big way, and it helped, too,
that Urlacher was healthy after
missing most of last season
with a wrist injury.
A defense that had struggled
at times in recent years ranked
among the stingiest all season,
at the contributions made by Ziggy
(four tackles and a sack), the big catch
made by Antonio. Those guys really
came through for us, and, at this time,
that’s what you need. We know that
Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are going to do
their thing for Baltimore. But what are
their young guys going to do? I believe
we won that battle.”
And now the Steelers are poised for
another trip to the AFC championship.
“It starts with the top. It starts with
the Rooneys — awesome people,
awesome family, awesome owners,”
Roethlisberger said. “I think all the
players really respect the coaches,
from the head guy all the way down
to our position guy. We are a family, we have since I’ve been here and
we’ll fight and do anything for each
other.”
and the Bears didn’t give up
much when it counted Sunday.
“Coaches kept staying on us,”
Urlacher said. “We got some
good players. We got some
good trades, good free agents.
Now, we’re back and we’re playing together. Hopefully, we’re
peaking at the right time.”
The Bears kept Hasselbeck off
balance for most of the game
after he threw for four touchdowns last week in the stunning
win over defending champion
New Orleans, and they shut
down the run. Chicago’s defense
again looked more like the
dominant unit that led the way
to that 2006 Super Bowl, right
from the start when it forced
Seattle to go three-and-out on
the game’s first drive.
There were no highlight reel
interceptions, no bone-crushing hits.
The Bears were plenty good
enough. They were quick to
the ball, tackled well and didn’t
give up big plays.
That’s how they were in 2005
and 2006, when they won backto-back NFC North championships. They didn’t rely on big
hits then, either.
They were more about speed,
finesse and stripping the ball.
They still are, but getting back
to this level was a long, difficult
process.
Coach Lovie Smith asked
fans to trust him when he let
Ron Rivera go after the Super
Bowl season and replaced him
with linebackers coach Bob
Babich. That rubbed many the
wrong way.
Smith wound up assuming
the play-calling duties from
Babich last season before promoting Rod Marinelli to defensive coordinator last February.
Beside the coaching shuffle, injuries continued to rob
Harris of his Pro Bowl abilities.
Urlacher was limited by neck
and back problems in recent
years, and that was before he
injured his wrist in the opener
at Green Bay last year, setting
the tone for a 7-9 season and
third straight playoff miss.
That left many calling for
Smith and general manager
Jerry Angelo to be fired. Instead,
they got another chance and
made some big moves — none
bigger than signing Peppers.
The Bears lured him with a
six-year deal potentially worth
$91.5 million, hoping he would
provide a spark up front for a
defense that ranked 17th overall last season. This year, the
defense ranked ninth, and the
Pro Bowl defensive end was a
big reason why, drawing attention and giving teammates a
chance to make plays.
But he had help from
Urlacher. From Briggs, too. And
on Sunday, it was more of the
same for the defense.
“We stopped the run early,
the whole game, actually,”
Urlacher said. “The whole game
we played good. We got off the
field on third down. We got
pressure on the quarterback.
We didn’t get any takeaways,
but did exactly what we wanted
to do the whole game until the
last couple drives there.”
HOROSCOPES for today
BRIDGE TIPS
don’t limit yourself to the available answers. Keep probing until
you’re sure.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
- You might be able to be somewhat laid back about frivolous
matters, but not so when it comes
to your business dealings. Be
careful that you don’t treat serious matters indifferently.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
- Allowing another to make a
decision for you about a matter
that you regard as unimportant is
likely to end up resulting in some
unexpected expenditure on your
part. Call your own shots.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make sure that you don’t underestimate your competition. What
you think is your ace in the hole
might be something they can
easily trump.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
- Avoid having anything important to do with a person or organization that you know for a
fact has a hard time keeping a
promise. Nothing is likely to have
changed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Mindlessly spending a little too
Monday, Jan. 17, 2011
Although material gratification
might come much easier for you
in the next year, guard against
taking anything for granted and
complacency. You could lose out
just as quickly as you lucked out,
and end up right back where you
started.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) - There are only so many
hours in a day, and if you hope
to take care of several critical
tasks, it is important that you
don’t waste any of them on frivolous activities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
- When involved in an amicable
competitive game with friends,
keep wagering out of the picture.
Money could suddenly become
a huge issue and alter the complexion of the game.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
- Welcome all friendly suggestions made by others concerning
a problem that you’re having, but
5B
KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIED
much here and there will quickly
get you into hot water. Be mindful
of your purchases, or you could
brutally batter your wallet.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Unless you are cognizant of your
every move, a goal of major
significance could easily wriggle
away. Should you slip back a step
or two, be prepared to put on the
brakes and get back on course.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) When in conversations with persons of importance, limit your
palaver to topics that you’re
thoroughly familiar with. If that’s
impossible, don’t pretend to possess knowledge that you don’t
have.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A failure to see and acknowledge
your financial expectations could
prove to be an extremely costly
mistake. Don’t pin your hopes on
unrealistic, rose-colored projections.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) - Avoid associating with individuals who don’t operate on your
wavelength, either business-wise
or socially. Being around them
could invite discomfort.
To finesse or
not to finesse
By Phillip Alder
Alexandre Dumas senior -pere, if you prefer -- said, “All
human wisdom is summed
up in two words -- wait and
hope.”
At the bridge table you
often have two choices: wait
or hope (don’t wait). Which
you choose is critical in this
deal. How would you play
in five diamonds after West
leads the club two?
In the auction, you correctly rebid two diamonds,
repeating your excellent suit
rather than introducing those
weak clubs. Since North’s
two-spade rebid would have
been natural and game-forcing, his three spades was a
splinter showing a good diamond fit, the values for at
least game, and a singleton
(or void) in spades. You temporized with four diamonds,
and North settled for game.
You have one heart loser, so
can afford one club loser but
not two. Should you take the
club finesse immediately?
If the finesse wins, you
are home with an overtrick.
You can draw trumps, drive
out the heart ace, and discard
your last two clubs on those
established heart winners.
However, what happens if the
finesse loses? Presumably a
club will come back and you
might lose two clubs and one
heart.
Suppose you play dummy’s
low club at trick one -- what
happens then?
Yes, East wins the trick
with his 10, but he cannot
profitably return a club into
the ace-queen. He will shift
to a spade. Win with your ace,
draw trumps, and dislodge
the heart ace. You will take
one spade, two hearts, six
diamonds, one club and one
spade ruff in the dummy.
In this deal, it pays to wait.

HAPPILY UNATTACHED WOMAN ENJOYS
FEELING OF FREEDOM
DEAR ABBY: I was married at
17 and ran away at 37 when I finally
admitted to myself that my husband did
not love me. After that, I went through
a deep depression that took years to
recover from. I have been divorced for
13 years and am happy being
unencumbered. I choose to live
alone.
I enjoy companionship and
am seeing not one, but two, men.
They both want a commitment,
and I do not. One knows about
the other; the other doesn’t. They
know I have had relationships in
the past.
I have already had family,
kids and grandkids. I see no
reason to marry again or have a
serious commitment to anyone. What
is your advice? -- CONTENT IN IOWA
DEAR CONTENT: My advice is to
let the gentleman who doesn’t know
you are seeing someone else in on the
secret. Other than that, because you
are happy with the status quo, I have no
other advice to offer.
DEAR ABBY: Before my mother
died a year ago, she told me a secret.
She said my middle-aged brother
“Donnie” was conceived with a sperm
donation rather than my father (also
deceased), whose sperm count was
low. My brother doesn’t know this, and
Mom didn’t tell him before she died.
Donnie has had numerous
emotionalproblemsandhasunresolved
issues with our parents. Do you think it’s
important that he know of his “origin,”
or is this a secret I should take with me
to the grave? I don’t want to hurt him
with this information, only to help him
resolve some of his negative feelings
toward our parents. I hate keeping
family secrets, but I will remain silent
if telling him would do more harm
than good. -- HALF-SISTER IN NEW
JERSEY
DEAR HALF-SISTER: Your halfbrother should be told the truth. It may
be difficult for him to hear, but on the
other hand, it could explain some of the
unspoken family dynamics that may
have led to his unresolved issues with
your parents. It might also help him
understand why he felt “different,” or
may have felt he was treated differently
than you were.
DEAR ABBY: I have a
grandchild whose parents are
strict, which I don’t mind, but
when Mom loses her cool, she
starts name-calling. She’ll say
things like, “You’re a brat!” etc.
in front of whomever, wherever
we happen to be. It goes against
my grain to call anyone names.
Should I talk to the parents
about this or stay out of their
business? I don’t interfere with the way
any of my children raise their kids, but
I’m very concerned over this. What do
I do or say? Should I speak up, or hold
my peace? I hurt for the grandkids
when this happens. It isn’t good for
their self-esteem. -- UNSURE IN RED
WING, MINN.
DEAR UNSURE: I know very few
perfect parents, but if your family
member does this on a regular basis,
you should say something. The
problem with labeling a child is that
if an adult does it often enough, the
child can grow up thinking the label
is accurate. A better way to handle
the situation would be for Mom to say
firmly: “Stop that! When you do that
it makes me angry, and if it happens
again, you’ll: (1) get a time out; (2) we’re
going outside until you can behave; or
(3) I won’t bring you here again!”
DEAR READERS: Today we
remember the Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr., who in 1968 was martyred in the
cause of civil rights. He was an eloquent
man who preached that “love is the
only force capable of transforming an
enemy into a friend.” His was a voice
of reason in a time of insanity, silenced
too soon. -- ABBY
