Richard Barnhart Jr., 32, was indicted nearly a year ago on five felony charges in relation to the crash which killed Jesse T. Carr, 26. Barnhart is charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, one count of vehicular manslaughter and two counts of operating a vehicle under the influence. Prosecutor James K. Stanley and Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Adkins are representing the state in the case, while Charles Knight is representing Barnhart. After a morning of jury selection, the state presented a series of witnesses on Tuesday afternoon recounting the night of Jan. 13, 2017, when the crash occurred, as well as the investigation which followed. In opening statements, Adkins told the 12 jurors — four women and eight men — and one alternate of the charges the state intends to prove, as well as the witnesses anticipated to be called to take the stand and the exhibits to be presented. In his opening statement, Knight laid out some of the facts of the case which are not in dispute, including that Carr died in the crash which occurred on the night of Jan. 13, 2017 in the Horner Hill area of State Route 143. Knight said it was the responsibility of the state to prove the offenses against Barnhart, including the cause of the accident, as well as the defense claim that Barnhart was driving. Adkins and Knight both spoke of an eye witness to the crash who was the first witness called to the stand. Ronald Haning Jr. was the first witness to take the stand. Haning lives in the area of the crash and, although it occurred at approximately 10:10 p.m., was on his roof at the time of the crash. Haning told the jury that he was working on an area of the roof over the baby room recently added on as their was concern about a leak on the rainy evening. In his original statement to the Ohio State Highway Patrol a few hours after the crash, Haning wrote that he noticed a sedan coming from Route 7 toward Harrisonville on Route 143, with another vehicle coming down Horner Hill toward the first. He stated that he could see in the headlights that the vehicle coming down the hill was left of center, with the sedan (alleg- edly driven by Barnhart) going off the road to avoid hitting the SUV coming down the hill. The SUV then proceeded on, taking a right onto Zion Road. In a second statement two days after the crash, Haning said that he heard the SUV hitting the reflectors in the center of the road, but felt that the two vehicles could have safely passed without hitting one another. He stated that he felt the crash was a result of an overreaction See TRIAL | 3 Rio spring enrollment numbers up New degree programs added Staff Report RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College has announced that enrollment numbers for the Spring 2018 semester have risen from the numbers for Spring 2017. This year’s numbers include a 5 percent increase in in-district students combined with a 5.4 percent increase in graduate students, contributing to an overall increase in enrollment by 1.2 percent to 1,855 total enrolled students over this same period last year. Rio President Dr. Michelle Johnston said this increase is the result of a productive year. “Our admissions representatives have worked hard this past year to reach out to a wider range of potential students, and I am very proud of their success,” Johnston said. “The effort they put into sharing Rio’s story reflects our dedication to providing the community with an affordable, highquality education.” In addition to these enrollment numbers, the number of new high school students enrolled in College Credit Plus jumped 83 percent from a year ago. College Credit Plus allows high school students from 7th to 12th grades the opportunity to take college courses at little or no cost while also receiving credit toward their high school graduation requirements. Rio continues to see growth in our international population, now accounting for 2 percent of the student population. Johnston said these numbers reflect Rio’s high standards of quality education that competes with institutions, not only at a state and national level, but on a global scale. “It is amazing to see so many high school students taking the initiative to get a head start on See RIO | 3 INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 Comics: 8 Classifieds: 9 Photos by Erin Perkins | OVP Hawley with her Eastern local and library co-workers that attended her reception.

The increase of students from last year is remarkable, and I’m glad Rio is a part of this program to help them achieve their academic goals,” Johnston said. “Having more students come to Rio from around the world is very exciting because it means degrees earned from our institution are as highly regarded in the global workforce as degrees earned in their home countries. An increasing number of international students also brings a wider range of culture to our campus, giving local students the opportunity to meet these students and learn more about the world around them. We believe continued collaboration with our partner schools in China and the development of dual-degree programs with them will add to that growth in the coming years.” Rio has also introduced several new degree programs this year. The newest program is a minor in Chinese Studies that corresponds with the new study abroad opportunities in China. Three of the new programs introduced at the beginning of the academic year include a Pre-Engineering Associate of Technical Studies degree, an Integrated Arts Graduate Program and an English Associate Degree. Johnston said building new programs provides the community with more educational opportunities closer to home. “We are excited to bring these new programs Wednesday, January 31, 2018 3 heavy damage being bent into a “U” shape with the roof missing. The telephone pole which the vehicle struck was broken from the impact. While on the scene that night, Hazelett took several photos of the crash and conducted a field sketch, while sending another trooper to the emergency room where Barnhart had been taken. Beer cans were observed in the vehicle, as well as a Bud Light box near the vehicle, leading to a suspicion of Barnhart being under the influence. Looking at the photos taken at the scene, Hazelett was asked to describe what could be seen in each one. A photo of the driver seat and surrounding area showed a beer can, along with one shoe. Knight showed Hazelett another photo, this one of the body of Carr under the vehicle, pointing out that a matching shoe to the one in the driver seat was in the picture with Carr’s body. Knight also asked Hazelett if the air bag from the vehicle, which reportedly had blood on it, was seized as evidence. Hazelett indicated that it was not. The defense attorney also asked why a blood test was performed on Barnhart for blood alcohol, but a test was not conducted on the body of Carr. Hazelett indicated that as the passenger in the vehicle troopers did not need to know if Carr was impaired. Trooper Marvin Pullins was the last to take the stand on Tuesday. Pullins, who is trained as a reconstructionist with the Post but has never testified as one, was called to the scene the day following the crash to examine the scene during the daylight hours. Pullins testified about the markings on the guardrail being consistent with a car striking the guardrail, with the vehicle then going into a yard off the side of the road and striking the pole. There were no skid marks or tire marks on the roadway in the crash area. Pullins noted the significant damage to the passenger side of the vehicle, with the initial impact with the pole taking place on the right front of the vehicle. Also testifying on Tuesday was Dr. Dan Whitely, Meigs County Coroner, who was called to the scene and labeled Carr’s cause of death as multiple blunt force injury from an auto accident. Nicholas Baldaff of the Ohio State Highway Crime Lab testified to the results of the blood alcohol test conducted on Barnhart following the crash. Baldaff testified that Barnhart’s level was .269, while the legal limit is .08. The trial is set to continue on Wednesday with additional witnesses taking the stand.

Gallipolis Daily Tribune 304-675-1333 www.mydailyregister.com �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, January 31, 2018 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Doctors’ habits affect opioid abuse Life expectancy for Americans has declined for the second straight year — something that hasn’t been seen in more than half a century. Some have partially attributed this decline to the number of people dying from David E. opioid overdoses. In fact, there is Myles Contributing preliminary data suggesting that drug overdoses claim more lives columnist than any other disease among Americans less than 50 years old. This decline has occurred despite a nationwide reduction in the number of opioid prescriptions being written by physicians. For many people who With this degree abuse opioids (and other drugs), their first of autonomy exposure often comes comes the from people like me — physicians. As a pediatri- responsibility to ensure we cian who works in an emergency department, are consistently I often prescribe opioids improving in for children who have order to provide significant bone fractures. The colleagues and the best care for mentors I’ve worked with our patients. over the years do not intend to provide medications that become the gateway to drug abuse later in life. And it should be pointed out that the majority of people who use legal and illegal substances will not become addicted. However, physicians can do an even better job of making evidence-based decisions when it comes to opioid prescribing practices. Our patients and the communities from which they come have entrusted us to regulate ourselves. With this degree of autonomy comes the responsibility to ensure we are consistently improving in order to provide the best care for our patients. To that end, there are a number of things that we can do to address the scourge of opioid abuse. Our medical societies and governing bodies can support compulsory continuing education regarding opioid prescribing to ensure that all providers are aware of the latest evidence-based approaches to managing patients’ pain. Such efforts have been successfully implemented in other states. For example, physicians wishing to obtain a license to practice medicine in Massachusetts are mandated to take three hours of opioid prescribing training. Even though I work exclusively with children, I took the training and found it to be informative, and it has influenced how I treat my patients. Many budding physicians write their first opioid prescription during their residency — the training we are required to have after finishing medical school. A recent study has shown that such residents are more likely than other providers to prescribe opioids for longer than five days. The governing body overseeing medical education could outline specialty-specific opioid prescribing recommendations to be taught to all residents. This would help ensure our newly minted physicians have a standardized, evidence-based foundation in pain management on which they can build. If a patient overdoses on opioids and has the good fortune of being found and taken to an emergency department, we should ensure that they have a scheduled follow-up appointment to be seen by an addiction specialty professional before they leave the hospital. Physicians can also empower the autonomy of the patients and families we treat. Not all patient pain necessarily requires opioids. In the cases where opioids may help and are appropriate, physicians can allow the patient (or their family member) to decide whether they want an opioidor non-opioid-based form of pain relief. We can also work in our communities (in schools, places of worship, and so on) to train people in how to recognize the signs of drug overdose, the appropriate use of an opioid overdose antidote and how to protect oneself when working with people who are suspected to have overdosed on opioids. I recognize that generic, one-size-fits-all solutions can have unintended adverse consequences. We do need to ensure that certain patients (for example, people with cancer and those who are terminally ill) have access to opioids in quantities and durations supported by sound conclusions from evidence-based scientific studies, while working to minimize abuse. For me, this sense of urgency is both professional and personal. As a pediatrician I routinely advocate for my patients who cannot always advocate for themselves. As a soon to be father, I am unnerved that my child is predicted to have less longevity than if he/she were born earlier. Because people’s lives hang in the balance, we as a society cannot afford to wait until the next report on life expectancy is released in order to meaningfully address this opioid epidemic.

THEIR VIEW Editorial ahead: Don’t say we didn’t warn you This editorial was recently written by the the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, appearing in the Chicago Tribune: Warning: If you live in California, your highly anticipated, absolutely essential and delicious morning cup of coffee may soon come with a warning. A state judge will rule in the next months whether coffee should be labeled as carcinogenic under California law, The Wall Street Journal reports. Why? Because coffee, elixir of the gods, contains acrylamide, a flavorless chemical produced in the roasting process. That is one of more than 900 chemicals — count ‘em, 900 — on California’s blacklist of substances known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Under state law, businesses must warn consumers about the presence of any of those 900 chemicals. The result is a warning overkill. “They should just put the label inside my door so I see it when I leave the apartment in the morning,” doctoral student and recent California transplant Steve Haring told the Journal. “It’s literally everywhere.” Californians are cautioned about french fries, potato chips, balsamic vinegar, black licorice (which we are happily chewing as we write this), new cars, office chairs, wood furniture … and, oh yes, snow globes and leprechaun hats. Honest. Whew! We imagine most Californians are cowering in some woodless, snow globe-free sanctuary in a perpetual state of terror over being contaminated by leprechaun hats, new car scents (!) or all the other items that could be invading their bodies and eventually, slowly, maybe causing cancer. What that list of 900 really means is that almost everything in life carries some risk. Some are large, some vanishingly small. This obsession with risks, many of them infinitesimal, denies the certainty that life is all about risks — how to evaluate them, how to negotiate them. Something, eventually, will get you. People make split-second calculations about many of those risks But when government warns citizens about everything, the resulting nonchalance — the dismissive way you rolled your eyes when you read about this coffee alert — means government effectively warns people about nothing. every day. Some people may shrug off a cautionary label because they’re skeptical of the science. They’ve seen red alerts — on cholesterol, for example — downgraded. Maybe they consider the warning a dare. (Cigarette smokers?) Other people have already factored the huge enjoyment and potential health benefits against a minuscule risk. Drinking coffee, for instance, is linked to a lower risk of heart failure, stroke and heart disease. We support arming people with scientific evidence so they can make smart decisions, not just about food but about other common products and practices But when government warns citizens about everything, the resulting nonchalance — the dismissive way you rolled your eyes when you read about this coffee alert — means government effectively warns people about nothing. A proliferation of advisories invites people to downplay or dismiss all of them as scare tactics or background noise. That’s potentially dangerous (Warning! The word “dangerous” implies a super-dooper warning) because some red flags should be heeded. For instance, black box labels on potentially hazardous medications. But many other alerts invite a chuckle. Forbes Magazine listed the 24 dumbest but genuine warning labels, including howlers like: “DANGER: Do not hold the wrong end of the chainsaw.” And this for a Superman costume: “Warning: This costume does not enable flight or super strength.” For our money, mom’s advice is as relevant as it was the first, 10th and 750th times she delivered it: Everything in moderation. That goes for coffee, rich desserts and … warnings. THEIR VIEW U.S. News is wrong about the best diet Dieter beware: U.S. News & World Report, in its high-profile January cover story on Gary “best Taubes diets,” calls and Nina the DASH Teicholz and MediContributing terranean columnist diets tops for health, though these regimens represent the failed nutritional status quo of the last 50 years. DASH is listed first in the U.S. News rankings, but authoritative reviews have found that it’s been tested on only about 2,000 subjects (mostly middle-aged hypertensives) in studies lasting no longer than six months. Its effects can hardly be generalized to all Americans. In those limited studies, the diet, which promotes fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy, did lower some cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure. But it usually worsened others, such as HDL cholesterol (the good kind) and triglycerides. And the one and only time it was tested against a higherfat version of itself, the higher-fat version performed better. DASH — the acronym stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension — has been promoted by our government for more than 20 years, but the evidence still falls far short of demonstrating a significant impact on the major nutrition-related diseases of our time, especially obesity and diabetes. These twin disorders constitute a global public health epidemic of crisis proportions, a “slow-motion disaster,” in the words of the director-general of the World Health Organization. The U.S. News “best of” rankings pay lip service to these diseases, but end up extolling a diet with virtually no demonstrated ability to treat or prevent them. The Mediterranean diet, listed second for overall healthiness by U.S. News (but formally ranked as tied with DASH), fares little better on the evidence. Highly popular since its formal introduction in 1993 by the Harvard School of Public Health and selected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2015 as one of its three recommended “dietary patterns,” the diet has principally been studied in one 2013 trial, on about 7,500 subjects in Spain. After five years, those on the diet had reduced their risk of cardiovascular events by an underwhelming 2 percent, in absolute terms. Moreover, the diet had no impact on overall mortality or weight loss. And the trial itself was flawed; it didn’t have an adequate, comparative control group. It’s clear that U.S. News — which employed an expert panel to rate 40 diets on various criteria — merely recapitulated questionable dietary advice that has gone by a succession of names since See DIET | 5 �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Wednesday, January 31, 2018 5 5 ideas win $10K each in opioid science challenge Buckeye State news Body found in woods near highway a week after crash arm of a male student, who pulls away. Weatherbee then wraps his arm around the student’s neck and takes him to the floor. Weatherbee’s attorney hasn’t publicly commented, but an investigation file includes Weatherbee’s comments to school officials. He said he intervened because one student threatened another and ignored attempts to deescalate the situation. The superintendent called Weatherbee’s behavior “disturbing.” A call to a phone listing under Weatherbee’s name rang unanswered Tuesday. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities are trying to determine whether a man found dead in a wooded area near a central Ohio highway is the driver who ran from a nearby crash a week earlier. A Franklin County sheriff’s deputy spotted the body Monday while trying to retrace the possible path of the driver who ran off after the Jan. 22 crash along Interstate 270 south of Columbus. No one was hurt in the crash. A deputy following up on it tried to reach the car’s owner Monday and learned from a relative that the driver was missing, though no missing-person report was filed. The deputy then returned to the crash scene and found the body nearby. The coroner’s office was working to identify the man and determine how he died. Uber to partner with Cincinnati transit agencies CINCINNATI (AP) — The ride-sharing company Uber is going to do some data-sharing with Cincinnati area public transit agencies and other local authorities in a new approach to the region’s transportation issues. The San Francisco-based global company Tuesday announced a partnership to create the Cincinnati Mobility Lab. Uber will share its transportation data platform and launch studies of such issues as curbside congestion and the bus services in the Cincinnati-northern Kentucky region. Public transportation can be spotty in southwest Ohio. Traffic problems are aggravated by the outdated Brent Spence Bridge over the Ohio River. It’s deemed functionally obsolete, but lacks funding for a replacement. Ohio’s Democratic U.S. senator, Sherrod Brown, says he’d like to hear President Donald Trump address such infrastructure needs in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address. Teacher in video says he tried to restrain, not tackle, boy CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school teacher who tackled a student in a classroom conflict recorded on cellphone video says he felt threatened and was only trying to restrain the boy. The Canton Repository reports 48-year-old Kenneth Weatherbee resigned in January after being suspended pending a Canton district investigation and says he regrets what happened. The Dec. 4 video shows Weatherbee touching the Diet From page 4 the 1970s — “low-fat,” “DASH,” “USDA-style,” “plant-based.” The basic set of recommendations have remained the same, emphasizing plant foods (grains, cereals, fruits and vegetables) over animal products (eggs, regular dairy, meat), and vegetable oils over natural animal fats such as butter. According to government data, Americans have largely followed these recommendations over the last 50 years, notably increasing their consumption of grains, vegetables and fruits and eating less whole milk, butter, meat and eggs. The outcome? In that time, rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes have skyrocketed. Something has gone terribly wrong. Why would 25 doctors, dietitians and nutritionists on the U.S. News panel choose a dietary philosophy that has — so far, at least — failed us? They might be entrenched in their opinions, supported by the industries that benefit from these diets, motivated by non-nutrition agendas such as animal-rights activism, or they might simply have fallen into the easy convenience of groupthink. TODAY 8 AM 2 PM diabetes were educated about carbohydrates and coached over the study period. They effectively cured themselves of their disease, something that mainstream medicine does not even believe possible. These are preliminary results, but many other studies on low-carb diets contain positive results that are similarly encouraging for people with nutrition-related diseases. Low-carbohydrate diets have now been tested in at least 70 clinical trials on nearly 7,000 people, including a wide variety of sick and well populations, mainly in the U.S. Thirty-two of these studies have lasted The loss to would-be healthy eaters is profound. For instance, diets lower in carbohydrates and higher in fat — called, variously, “Atkins,” “paleo,” “ketogenic” or “South Beach,” and based on the simple idea that carbohydrates are uniquely fattening — were all stiffed in the U.S. News rankings. Indeed, the ketogenic diet, which acutely restricts carbohydrates in favor of fat, came in dead last. That’s too bad: Early results of a current trial reported that Type 2 diabetes symptoms can be reversed in just 10 weeks on such a diet.

Host Vinton County overcame a six-point halftime deficit and remained unbeaten in league play on Monday night following a 52-46 victory over the Meigs girls basketball team in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division contest. The Lady Marauders (9-9, 5-4 TVC Ohio) controlled the game at the start as the guests used a balanced attack to build leads of 10-6 and 27-21 after each of the first two quarters of play. Kassidy Betzing — who had nine points in the opening half, one of four MHS players with at least five points in that span — was held scoreless during a third canto in which the Lady Vikings (16-1, 10-0) started their comeback quest. The Maroon and Gray got seven points from Cassie Bentley and two trifectas from Darian Radabaugh as part of a 14-10 surge that whittled the deficit down to 37-35 headed into the finale. VCHS hit four field goals down the stretch — three of which were from behind the arc — during a 17-9 charge that turned a one-possession deficit into a two-possession triumph. The Lady Vikings also claimed a season sweep of MHS following a 66-56 decision at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium back on Dec. 21, 2017. The Maroon and Gold made 18 total field goals — including eight three-pointers — and also went 2-of-3 at the free throw line for 67 percent. Betzing led Meigs with 13 points, followed by Madison Hendricks with 10 points and Madison Fields with eight markers. Becca Pullins was next with six points and Marissa Noble added five markers. Devin Humphreys completed the scoring with four points. The Lady Vikings made 19 total field goals — including six three-pointers — and also went 8-of16 at the charity stripe for 50 percent.

Lady Eagles win at Wahama, 62-44 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — Momentum is a powerful thing. The Eastern girls basketball team picked up its fifth straight victory on Monday night at Gary Clark Court, defeating Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Wahama by a 62-44 tally, giving the Lady Falcons their fifth straight setback. Eastern (12-5, 10-2 TVC Hocking) scored the game’s first 10 points, holding Wahama (4-11, 2-11) scoreless for 4:50 to start the night. The Lady Falcons bounced back with a 10-to-4 run, however, cutting the Lady Eagle lead to 14-10 by the end of the first quarter. WHS sank a two-pointer to open the second period, cutting Eastern’s lead back to one possession. However, EHS answered with a 10-0 run, stretching its advantage to 24-12 with 3:45 left in the half. The Lady Falcons ended the half with an 8-to-5 spurt, and went into the break with a 29-20 deficit. The teams played evenly in the third quarter, both teams scoring nine points to make the EHS lead 38-29 with eight minutes to go. The Lady Eagles outscored the Lady Falcons by a 6-2 clip in the first 2:10 of the finale, but Wahama answered with a 7-1 run, trimming the margin to 45-38 with 4:00 left in regulation. The hosts didn’t make it any closer than seven, as Eastern closed the 62-44 win with a 17-6 run. “We’re trying to get prepared for tournaments,” EHS head coach Jacob Parker said. “Our thing is, we want to get better every night. We did a few things tonight, had a few subs that haven’t been in the lineup yet and threw a new press in there that we’ve never run before, just to see if we could do it. I’m glad that we can continue to get better.” The guests shot 26-of69 (37.7 percent) from the field, including 3-of8 (37.5 percent) from three-point range, while Wahama was 15-of-42 (35.7 percent) from the field, including 1-of-9 (11.1 percent) from beyond the arc. At the free throw line, EHS shot 7-of-16 (43.8 percent) and WHS shot 13-of-24 (54.7 percent). “Our effort was there,” Wahama head coach John Arnott said. “We played hard and I’m pleased with our effort. The kids I have left will play hard for me, they don’t quit on me. I had Gracie VanMeter step up and be that next player in crunch time. Ashtyn (Russell) played well for me tonight and I can’t ask for any more.” The Lady Falcons won the rebounding battle by a 41-to-35 count, despite EHS taking a 24-to-19 Wahama senior Elizabeth Mullins (22) dribbles in front of Eastern junior Jess Parker (2), during the second half of the Lady Eagles’ 62-44 victory on Monday at Gary Clark Court in Mason, W.Va. edge in offensive boards. Eastern also held advantages of 18-to-2 in assists, 21-to-3 in steals and 3-to2 in blocked shots. The Lady Eagles turned the ball over 14 times in the game, while Wahama committed 38 turnovers. EHS junior Alyson Bailey led the victors with 14 points and five assists, followed by Elizabeth Collins with 12 points and nine rebounds. Jess Parker and Madison Williams both had nine points and five assists, with Williams sinking a pair of three-pointers. EHS senior Kaitlyn Hawk had seven points, including three from long range, while Olivia Barber had five points and eight boards in the win. Kennadi Rockhold and Kelsey Casto rounded out the Lady Eagle scoring with four and two points respectively. Bailey also led the guests on defense with six steals and one block, followed by Parker with five steals. WHS sophomore Hannah Rose hit the team’s lone three-pointer and led the way with 18 points.

That culture was an important element for Lurie. The environment had changed under Kelly, who was 26-21 in three seasons. Though he was an innovative coach, Kelly didn’t connect well with all his players and members of the organization. So Lurie went back to what he knew and hired Pederson, Reid’s protege. Lurie was quite familiar with Pederson, who was a quarterback for Reid with the Eagles in 1999 and then an assistant coach on his staff in Philadelphia and Kansas City. Other coaches had more impressive resumes, but Lurie liked Pederson’s intangibles. “I spent a lot of time with players at the end of that (2015) season and I thought what was really needed was a kind of leadership that leads with a genuineness, a real genuineness,” Lurie said. “And people laughed when I used the term ‘emotional intelligence,’ but that’s probably a really good way to describe it. “There’s a lot of great coaches. They all have their different styles, but the one common ground among them all is absolute consistency and genuineness. And Doug Pederson is just himself. And at times that’s very humble, and at times it’s just very real. At times that’s very bright. At times it’s tough. But he does it in a true, genuine way and I think players really respond to that in today’s world.” Naturally, Pederson learned from Reid. “Being around him, he’s the same day in and day out,” Pederson said. “Same consistency. Same work ethic.” Like Reid, Pederson Patriots, Eagles tackle the serious, silly at media night ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Tom Brady wore a black wool stocking cap and a big smile. Bill Belichick wore a full suit. The guy in the shark costume, well, he was just trying to not wear out his welcome. The New England Patriots were the first team on stage Monday at Super Bowl opening night, the kickoff to the week of buildup to the big game. They gathered at Xcel Energy Center, the hockey rink and home of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, for their first on-site media obligation after landing in Minneapolis in the afternoon. The Philadelphia Eagles, whose charter flight arrived Sunday, had the second half of the NFL’s annual assembly of hundreds of reporters, camera operators and just-for-fun “journalists” surrounding players and coaches with a ticketed crowd looking on from the seats. Brady led his team out of the tunnel made out of the set designed to resemble a giant glacier in honor of the host state’s wintry climate. Swarmed by a 12-deep pack of media at his podium in advance of his eighth career Super Bowl, Brady was asked often about his family ties to the area and his desire to keep his children from criticism and scrutiny. He fielded a query about his most attractive teammate, nodding to Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. had his share of critics. He wasn’t the people’s choice in Philly when he got the job and ESPN ranked him the worst hire of his coaching class at the time. Three of the six other coaches already have been fired. “I don’t pay any attention to that, quite honestly,” Pederson said. “I drive home at night knowing I put in a full day’s work. I get up in the morning to come in here, and however I can serve this organization and serve these players, that’s all I know. I love football. I love coaching football. I love teaching it. I love being around these guys, and I’m going to pour my life into these players. If it’s good enough, great, because that’s all I know I can do and I’ve given it my best effort. So I don’t care about what’s written.” Pederson cares about his players, improving their game and making them better men off the field. He gets what they’re going through because he played, although mostly as a backup. They trust in him and his coaching philosophy. “Coach Pederson is an unbelievable coach to play for,” said Nick Foles, who went from backup quarterback to hero of the NFC championship game. “He just has such a great feel for the game.” Pederson’s steady demeanor and positive approach helped the team overcome numerous injuries to key players, including Carson Wentz, Jason Peters and Jordan Hicks.

(AP) — Doug Pederson is one win away from bringing Philadelphia the elusive Super Bowl title his mentor couldn’t deliver. If the Eagles (15-3) beat New England (15-3) on Sunday, Pederson will hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Philadelphia will celebrate its first NFL title since beating Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers in 1960. No one saw this coming two years ago. After abruptly firing Chip Kelly, Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie longed for a coach more like the one he used to have: Andy Reid. Even though Reid failed to win the big game during his 14-year tenure in Philadelphia, he won more games than any coach in franchise history and led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, five NFC title games and a Super Bowl loss to the Patriots.
