And, yes - finally - Peyton Manning gets llis Super Bowl !rip. So does Tony Dungy. Football's most prolific quartetback put on a show for the ages Sunday, rallying the Indianapolis Colts from 18 points down and driving them 80 yards for the winning score in a wildly entertaining 38-34 victory over the New England Palriots. In his nine years in the league, Manning has never played in a game like this AFC championship contest. He threw fnr 349 yards and one touchdown and brought llis team back from a 21-3 deficit, the biggest comeback in conference title-game history. Joseph Addai capped Manning's late drive with the winning score, a 3-yard run with I minute left to help the Colts ( 15-4) complete the rally and send Dungy to his first Super Bowl - and a very special one. The Colts coach will face the Chicago Bears and his good friend Lovie Smith in Miami in two weeks. Together they are the first black coaches to make the Super Bowl in its 41 years. After Indy 's last touchdown, Manning was on the sideline, his head down - he couldn't bear to watch. New England's Tom Brady - he of the three Super Bowl rings - threw an interception to Marlin Jackson and the RCA Dome crowd went wild. One kneel down later and Manning ripped off his helmet to celebrate.

A circus catch by Marvin Samuel snatched and took 39 Harrison for the 2-point conyards into the end zone for a version tied the game at 21. The rest of the game was rollicking, back-and-fonh, and Manning never let up. The Patriots answered with an 80-yard kickoff return by Ellis Hobbs, which set up a 6yarJ touchdown from Brady to Jabar Gaffney. Ofticials awarded the score to Gaffney after ru ling he was forced out of the back of the end zone by an Indy defender. Manning came right back., and proving that one good otl'ensive lineman deserves another. his handoff to Dominic Rhodes misfired. The ball scooted forward and center Jeff Saturday got this touchdown to tie the score at 28. After that drive, Manning could be seen on the sideline, nursing a sore thumb. But he wasn't coming out. The teams traded field goals, and Patriots kicker Stephen Gostk.owski put New England ahead 34-31 on a 43yarder with 3:491eft. After a touchback, it was time for Manning's drive: II yards to Reggie Wayne, 32 yards to Bryan Fletcher, a scary completion to Wayne, who nearly lost the ball but snatched it back. A roughing-the-passer call gave Indy the ball at the II , then Manning handed off three straight times to Addai for the last II yards- showing that, yes, maybe it really is about more than just the quarterback. Or maybe not. This one was Manning at his best. He was the first-round draft pick in 1998, considered a prototypical, can't-miss guy despite the fact that he could never win the big one in Tennessee, falling to archrival Florida three times when the Vols might have been good enough to win it all. He was 0-2 in the playoffs against New England. and the storyline all week was what a break the Colts got to get the Patriots at home, and what a sensational feeling it would be to finally knock off the team that bedeviled them most. Manning conceded during the week that he could hear the clock ticking as his career entered its prime, especially as the disappointments mounted. His teammates protected him, s~ying the quarterback shouldn't shoulder all the burden for the fmnchise's inability to break through and make the Super Bowr But now Indy has finally done it, for the first time since owner Bob Jrsay's midnight move from Baltimore back in 19g4 found the Colts in the Midwest, adopted at first by,a basketball-loving fan base, then embraced when Manning came into the fold . The Patriots lost for the first time in six trips to the AFC championship game, as coach Bill Belichick found himself uncharacteristically unable to shut down Peyton and Co. The Colts piled on 455 yards and scored on six of their final eight drives, not counting the one where Manning kneeled down. The mystique that seemed so prevalent last week in an upset win over San Diego seemed missing, and this looked like a tired, desperate, defeat.ed team in the end maybe in part because of a flu bug that worked its way through their locker room during the week. So while that dynasty is dead, it is now Manning's tum to take a shot at history. Of course, with his performance Sunday - many think he has already. Bears devour New Orleans, fill other Super Bowl slot BY BARRY WtLNER ASSOCIATEO PRESS CHICAGO Relax, Chicago. Rex Grossman and Da Bears are indeed good enough for this Super Bowl, and they've already made it a llistonc one. Few teams with such an · impressive record have been as questioned, even maligned as the Bears. Yet after romping past the New Orleans Saints 39-14 on Sunday, they are headed to their first NFL title game since the 1985 team overwhelmed the league and shuffled in under Mike Ditka and Jim McMahon. This time, Lovie Smith will lead them there, the lirst black head coach to make it to the title game in its 41 years. ''I' II feel even better to be the first black coach to hold up the world championship trophy," he said.

This was the fiN trip this • 2007 More Republicans op\)Ose Iraq troop mcrease,As Steelers to hire Tomlin PITISBURGH (AP) Minnesota Vikings def_ensive coordinator Mike Tomlin accepted the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching job Sunday ni g~t and was working out a four-year contract he hoped to complete Monday, people close to the search told The Associated Press. They requested anonymity because the Steelers have asked all parties involved in the search to not speak to reporters until they can makt! the announcement, which could come Monday or Tuesday. Tomlin is expected to make around $2.5 million per year, the going rate of late for first-time NFL coaching hires. Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher resigned Jan. 5 following 15 seasons after aP.parently rejecting a $6 mtllion per year contract extension off~r earlier this year. Tomlin's hiring completed a frantic 2 1/2-week search in which he was initially viewed as an unlikely choice behind perceived front-runners Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm, only to land the job after impressing the Steelers with his motivation, intensity, knowledge of defense and enthusiasm. The 34-year-old Tomlin, a defensive coordinator for only one season, was chosen over Grimm, the Steelers' assistant head coach for three years and Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. The Steelers decided Sunday not to ~ive Rivera a second interview because they couldn't talk with him again until Feb. 5, the day after the Super Bowl. The Steelers issued a statement Sunday saying they had not concluded a deal, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette initially reported Sunday that Grimm had been told Tomlin was the choice. However, the Steelers did not deny Tomlin was the choice, only that they did not have a contract wtth their new coach and did nut expect to have one Sunday. While the Steelers have not interviewed any candidates since meeting with Tomlin for 3 112 hours Tuesday and Grimm for six hours Wednesday, there was a nurry of reports - at times cmiflicting over the weekend. Sports SJ.com, Illustrated's Web site, and, later, ESPN .com, reported Saturday the Steelers had decided on Tomlin, the Vikings' defensive coordinator, or begun contract talks with him. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review citing unidentified sources reported that Grimm was the choice. Tomlin will be the fourth consecutive coach hired by the Steelers who was a defensive assistant coach in his 30s with another team before going to Pittsburgh. Bill Austin was 37' when he was chosen io 1966, as was Chuck Noll in 1969. Cowher 'l'as 34 when he picked in 1992.

AS �PageA2 NATION • WORLD Bombs strike Shiite targets; 137 dead across Iraq The Daily Sentinel Tuesday, January 23, BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCI ATED PRESS WRITER BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide bomber crashed his . car into a central Baghdad market crowded with Shiites just seconds after another car bomb tore through the stalls where vendors were hawking DVDs and used clothing, leaving 88 dead , Monday in the bloodiest altack in two months. The bombings, along with a double bombing that killed 12 people in the town of Khalis, batlered Shiites during one of their holiest · festivals . The auacks were the latest in a renewed campaign of insurgent violence m advance of a U.S.-Iraqi security operation. In all, 137 people were killed or found dead across Iraq, including a teacher who was gunned down as she was on her way to work at a girls' school in a mainly Sunni area of Baghdad. The toll also included the bulletriddled bodies of at least 30 people, apparent victims of death squads largely run by Shiite militias. An al-Qaida-linked coalition of Iraqi Sunni insurgents .claimed its fighters shot down an American military helicopter in a Saturday crash that killed 12 U.S. soldiers. The U.S. military has said the cause of the crash has not been determined. In Washington, a senior military official said investigators found debris near the scene of the helicopter crash that could be part of a shoulder-fired weapon. The official requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Monday's explosions, which could be heard a mile . away from the banks of the · Tigris River, tore through : the Bab al-Sharqi market · shortly after noon in a clear attempt to kill as many people as possible at a time of day when commuters and shoppers . tend to gather there in large numbers. • AP plloto A woman carries a child past shops damaged in a recent bombing in central Baghdad, Iraq Monday. At least 88 people were killed and more than 150 wounded Monday after two nearly simultaneous bombs struck a predominantly Shiite commercial area in central Baghdad in the deadliest attack in two months, officials said. Witnesses said the force of the blasts sent jagged pieces of the sales stalls hurtling through the crowd. Body parts were strewn on the pavement, and heavy gunfire erupted. Black smoke billowed above the center of the capitaL Rescue workers could be seen hauling away a bloodied man on a wooden cart that vendors use to bring goods to market. His pants had been blown off. Nearby al-Kindi Hospital and its morgue were tilled to capacity. Many of the dead were laid out in the counyard, covered with white and blue cloths. as loved ones crouched beside them shrieking in grief and shouting oaths against the attackers. Hours later, a bomb struck a market in the predominantly Shiite town of Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad, and a mortar shell slammed into the market. At least 12 people were killed and 29 wounded, police said. Khalis is in the volatile Diyala province, where fighting has raged for weeks among Sunni insurgents, Shiite militiamen and U.S. and Iraqi troops. In the provincial capital of Baqouba, state television reported that gunmen attacked the mayor's office, ransacking the building and setting off explosives that damaged the strueture. Police said the mayor was kidnapped, a repon that U.S. officials said they could not immediately confirm. The twin bombing in Baghdad was the single deadliest attack against civilians in Iraq since Nov. 23, when suspected al-Qaida in lratl fight.ers attacked the capital s Sadr City Shiite slum with a series of car bombs and mortars that struck in quick succession, killing at least 215 people. Prime Minister Nouri aiMaliki, a Shiite, denounced Monday's attack and blamed Sunnis. "The alliance of the terrorists and the remnants of Saddam have committed an ugly crime," he said in a statement. Brig. Jihad al-Jabiri, director of the explosives experts department in the Interior Ministry, told state television that each car apparently car- ried more than 190 pounds of explosives. Deputy Health Minister Hakim al-Za01ili said at least 78 people were killed and 156 were wounded, but police and hospital officials put the death toll at 88. The attack occurred two days after the start of the I0day festival leading up to Ashoura, which marks the death of Imam ·Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and one of the most revered Shiite saints. Imam Hussein died in the battle of Karbala in A.D. 680.

AIID MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am a faithful reader and love your matter-of-fact approach, which is why I am writing. I am a 40-year-old single mom. I work part time and am nearly finished with my college education. I am in love with "Michael." We have been living together for a year, and he is a 11reat deal of help with my children. Michael pays the majority of the bills with no complaints. He is a very successful businessman, extremely generous to my children, aiid he dotes on me. My problem is, Michael never wants to get married. He is content with the way our relationship is now. We have had the conversation about marriage several times, but I always end up frustrated and upset. We have both been married before. Michael always knew my intentions were to be in a stable relationship that would end in marriage. Knowing this, he still mamtains a relationshif with me. I know Michae loves me tremendously, as I do him. What now? Should I sacri- fice my happiness and continue this near-perfect relationship, or should I give him an ultimatum? Driving lhe VVrong Way on a One· Way Slreel Dear Wrong Way: The problem with ultimatums is that you must be prepared to follow through. Michael has what he wants from this relationship. An ultimatum could ~et him to commit, but he s just as likely to leave. The questions you need to ask yourself are, one, if the situation stays the same, will you be increasingly urthappy and resentful? And two, if he leaves, how much will you regret it? If you are willing to live without him, an ultimatum will certainly clarify your next step. Dear Annie: My stepdaughter, "Lois," is 30 years old and has one young child. They have recently begun to visit us every Sunday. Each visit begins about 2 p.m., runs through dinner and ends well after 8 p.m. These are not visits by invitation.

The bombings, along with a double bombing that killed 12 people in the town of Khalis, batlered Shiites during one of their holiest · festivals . The auacks were the latest in a renewed campaign of insurgent violence m advance of a U.S.-Iraqi security operation. In all, 137 people were killed or found dead across Iraq, including a teacher who was gunned down as she was on her way to work at a girls' school in a mainly Sunni area of Baghdad. The toll also included the bulletriddled bodies of at least 30 people, apparent victims of death squads largely run by Shiite militias. An al-Qaida-linked coalition of Iraqi Sunni insurgents .claimed its fighters shot down an American military helicopter in a Saturday crash that killed 12 U.S. soldiers. The U.S. military has said the cause of the crash has not been determined. In Washington, a senior military official said investigators found debris near the scene of the helicopter crash that could be part of a shoulder-fired weapon. The official requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Monday's explosions, which could be heard a mile . away from the banks of the · Tigris River, tore through : the Bab al-Sharqi market · shortly after noon in a clear attempt to kill as many people as possible at a time of day when commuters and shoppers . tend to gather there in large numbers. • AP plloto A woman carries a child past shops damaged in a recent bombing in central Baghdad, Iraq Monday. At least 88 people were killed and more than 150 wounded Monday after two nearly simultaneous bombs struck a predominantly Shiite commercial area in central Baghdad in the deadliest attack in two months, officials said. Witnesses said the force of the blasts sent jagged pieces of the sales stalls hurtling through the crowd. Body parts were strewn on the pavement, and heavy gunfire erupted. Black smoke billowed above the center of the capitaL Rescue workers could be seen hauling away a bloodied man on a wooden cart that vendors use to bring goods to market. His pants had been blown off. Nearby al-Kindi Hospital and its morgue were tilled to capacity. Many of the dead were laid out in the counyard, covered with white and blue cloths. as loved ones crouched beside them shrieking in grief and shouting oaths against the attackers. Hours later, a bomb struck a market in the predominantly Shiite town of Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad, and a mortar shell slammed into the market. At least 12 people were killed and 29 wounded, police said. Khalis is in the volatile Diyala province, where fighting has raged for weeks among Sunni insurgents, Shiite militiamen and U.S. and Iraqi troops. In the provincial capital of Baqouba, state television reported that gunmen attacked the mayor's office, ransacking the building and setting off explosives that damaged the strueture. Police said the mayor was kidnapped, a repon that U.S. officials said they could not immediately confirm. The twin bombing in Baghdad was the single deadliest attack against civilians in Iraq since Nov. 23, when suspected al-Qaida in lratl fight.ers attacked the capital s Sadr City Shiite slum with a series of car bombs and mortars that struck in quick succession, killing at least 215 people. Prime Minister Nouri aiMaliki, a Shiite, denounced Monday's attack and blamed Sunnis. "The alliance of the terrorists and the remnants of Saddam have committed an ugly crime," he said in a statement. Brig. Jihad al-Jabiri, director of the explosives experts department in the Interior Ministry, told state television that each car apparently car- ried more than 190 pounds of explosives. Deputy Health Minister Hakim al-Za01ili said at least 78 people were killed and 156 were wounded, but police and hospital officials put the death toll at 88. The attack occurred two days after the start of the I0day festival leading up to Ashoura, which marks the death of Imam ·Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and one of the most revered Shiite saints. Imam Hussein died in the battle of Karbala in A.D. 680. The battle cemented a schism in Islam between Shiites and Sunnis, a division that has grown in Iraq a,...u '\i9 14 UIONIInll .......,,CII..,. 111,. __..._ ""' (74Gt ,_ (1'401. .· 11P . . 11 w I a en I )WD -~-·-_.,..... .... - ..... ·ntc-. -Your Way- On February 14th- ''Here's My Card'' With A Sentinel Love Message!

Sherry Atlurton 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio READER'S VIEW Neighbo This is ukn it really counts Morton Kondlidc& doctors' fees - "items even the Republican Congress rejected ." Democrat s also amidpate that despite promises to the contrary - Bush again will fail to adequately build Iraq war costs into his budget. ··we are expecting a not-serious, cre<)ible budget," the staffer said. Meanwhile. while Democrats are promising to exercise fiscal responsibility and resist urgent appeals from constituency groups for more domestic spending, Republicans charge they've already started a spending binge during thei1' first "I 00 hours" - on homeland security, for example and won't be able to resist demands from farmers. teachers unions and health lobbies. All of this presages epic battles over appropriations later this year. That's 1he short-term picture as the two sides try to pare an estimated $260 billion deficit down to zero in five years . Bad news. Longer term, the news is much worse. As the Heritage Foundation's Stuart Butler puts it , ''If they did succeed in bal ancing the budget by 2012, it'd be like having a margarita on the beach l:!efore the tsunami hits." That's because, as the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age, the costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid entitlement spending will surge after 2015 , ri sing by 2040 to eat up the entire federal budget and requiring a 50 percent tax increase on workers or drastic benefit cuts for seniors to pay for defense and other government service s. But wait - there is good news. Serious bipartisan effort s are under way at the think-tank level to educate the public about the fi scal crisis ahead and establish consensus about a possible "grand bargain" to achieve long-term balance . And, after Democrats last year rejected Bush's call to form a bipartisan commission on entitlement reform, there 's hope this year that some panel could be formed - preferably of real Congressional and ·administration decisionmakers - to work on a long-term deal. The ideological bre~dth - and intellectual heft of participation in the think tank exercise is truly impressive . It includes Butler on the right. the Brookings Institution' s Belle Sawhill on the left, and Robert Bixby of the Concord Coalition and Comptroller General David Walker of the Government Accountability Office in the center. These four- plus additional expert s including Bush budget director Rob Portman - have conducted nearly 20 "wake-u,p call" seminars around the · country, mainly at university schools of public policy, making the point that America's long-term fiscal outlook is "unsustainable" - in fact, perilous to the nation's prosperity anq security. The experts call for action - the earlier the better - such as imposing even tight er control s on spending than the Democrats' new "pay-asyou -go" rules, reforming health care to control costs. and cover the uninsured, increasing the Social Security retirement age,: means-testing Medicare. benefits ami raising revenues . Both administration offi cial s, including Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and key members of Congress like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. , Sens. Kent Conrad, D-N.D .. and Judd Gregg. R-N .H.• and House Budget Chairman John Spratt, D-S .C.. have expressed willingness to talk about entitlement. reform. Bush has said he is even· willing to talk about revenue increases, though he 's said he'd resist tax hikes. White House adviser Karl Rove has offered to bet - bur only $5 that .there won't be any tax increases on Bush 's watch. So the good news is that there ' s bipartisan agreement on both short-term and long-term ends . The bad news is that the two sides are far, far apart on means . But both sides are scared enough about the long-term danger to be willing to negoti<1te seriously. Now. all they have to do is to see the short term as the prelude to the long term. Democrats have to restrain spending. and Republicans have to raise revenues. The fix isn't conceptually complicated. It just takes political courage. What great news it would be if our leaders found some. ( Morto11 K01u/racke is exee~uive editor of Roll Coli. the newspaper of Copito/ Hill.)

Before he left Sudan recently, Jan Egeland - the U.N. coordinator for humanitarian affairs - said that in a Darfur village, Serba, (National Public Radio, Dec. 1): "I saw a mother who sat with her child at a hospital. There was a bullet wound through the child·s neck. An armed Janjaweed militiaman said, 'I will shoot your child unless you give me money.' They had no money, so he shot the child. This. you know, is heartbreaking ." Not heartbreaking enough for t~.e world to stop this continuing genocide. However, there briel1y appeared to be some hope · when Bill Richardson. governor of New Mexico, and a presidential aspirant, said with fanfare, that he had persuaded Gen . al-Bashir and the rebels to agree to a 60day cease-fire. But a crucial r~bel group (Justice and Equality Movement ), denied three days later they had agreed to a cease-fire (AP. Jan . 12 ). In real, brutal life. Catholic Cardinal Gabriel Zubeir Wa.k:o, the arch- bi shop of Khartoum, said in his Christmas message: ''Without concern, news of massacres, rapes and other crimes against innocent , poor and weak civilians continues." But the International Criminal Court claims it is concerned. Chief prosecutor Luis Mareno-Ocampo told the annual meeting in The Hague of the court's members that he has "sufficient evidence to identify the perpetrators of some of the worst atrocities in Darfur" who have committed crimes against humanity (Washington Post. Nov. 25 ). Who will bring these perpetrators to trial without the permission of Gen . al-Bashir, who repeatedly. even after Jan . I. forbids any U.N. troops in Darfur. (And the United Nations say s it must have his pumi s,ion.) The ruthless general must surely be on the International Criminal Court's list of perpetrators of the'e crimes bv his troops and his Janjaweed militia. This mass murderer certainly will not turn him,elf and the other suspects over to the court. And the U.N. Security Coundl will not send in troops with arrest warrants .

Omar Hassan al-Bashir. that if he did not accept the U.N. plan to end the genocide in Darfur by Jan. I, there would be consequences. And the president's special envoy to Sudan, Andrew Natsios, said that if al-Bashir continued to stonewall, the Bush administration would implement its "Plan B." However, because "Plan B" is classified, we don't know the details. U.N. Security The Council's Resolution 1706 called for a Uuited Nations force of 20,000 to supplement the African Union's brave but thoroughly inadequate force of 7.000 in Darfur. By Jan. I. Gen. al-Bashir had not accepted the U.N. plan or Bush's ultimatum. On Jan. 7, the Sunday Telegraph in London wrote that the Sudan government's "bombers and helicopter gunships are reported to have attacked villages in open defiance of U.N. efforts." The next day, the African Union denounced addil'ional air strikes on civilian locations. And on Jan. 9. the Associated Press reported: "The U.N., the AU and international aid groups say Khartoum (Sudan's government) Is massively arming the Janjaweed (Gen. al-Bashir's killers and rapists) and the paramilitary has recently ·Carried out several deadly raids against civilians with the regular army's support ."

Sherry Atlurton 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio READER'S VIEW Neighbo This is ukn it really counts Morton Kondlidc& doctors' fees - "items even the Republican Congress rejected ." Democrat s also amidpate that despite promises to the contrary - Bush again will fail to adequately build Iraq war costs into his budget. ··we are expecting a not-serious, cre<)ible budget," the staffer said. Meanwhile. while Democrats are promising to exercise fiscal responsibility and resist urgent appeals from constituency groups for more domestic spending, Republicans charge they've already started a spending binge during thei1' first "I 00 hours" - on homeland security, for example and won't be able to resist demands from farmers. teachers unions and health lobbies. All of this presages epic battles over appropriations later this year. That's 1he short-term picture as the two sides try to pare an estimated $260 billion deficit down to zero in five years . Bad news. Longer term, the news is much worse. As the Heritage Foundation's Stuart Butler puts it , ''If they did succeed in bal ancing the budget by 2012, it'd be like having a margarita on the beach l:!efore the tsunami hits." That's because, as the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age, the costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid entitlement spending will surge after 2015 , ri sing by 2040 to eat up the entire federal budget and requiring a 50 percent tax increase on workers or drastic benefit cuts for seniors to pay for defense and other government service s. But wait - there is good news. Serious bipartisan effort s are under way at the think-tank level to educate the public about the fi scal crisis ahead and establish consensus about a possible "grand bargain" to achieve long-term balance . And, after Democrats last year rejected Bush's call to form a bipartisan commission on entitlement reform, there 's hope this year that some panel could be formed - preferably of real Congressional and ·administration decisionmakers - to work on a long-term deal. The ideological bre~dth - and intellectual heft of participation in the think tank exercise is truly impressive . It includes Butler on the right. the Brookings Institution' s Belle Sawhill on the left, and Robert Bixby of the Concord Coalition and Comptroller General David Walker of the Government Accountability Office in the center. These four- plus additional expert s including Bush budget director Rob Portman - have conducted nearly 20 "wake-u,p call" seminars around the · country, mainly at university schools of public policy, making the point that America's long-term fiscal outlook is "unsustainable" - in fact, perilous to the nation's prosperity anq security. The experts call for action - the earlier the better - such as imposing even tight er control s on spending than the Democrats' new "pay-asyou -go" rules, reforming health care to control costs. and cover the uninsured, increasing the Social Security retirement age,: means-testing Medicare. benefits ami raising revenues . Both administration offi cial s, including Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and key members of Congress like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. , Sens. Kent Conrad, D-N.D .. and Judd Gregg. R-N .H.• and House Budget Chairman John Spratt, D-S .C.. have expressed willingness to talk about entitlement. reform. Bush has said he is even· willing to talk about revenue increases, though he 's said he'd resist tax hikes. White House adviser Karl Rove has offered to bet - bur only $5 that .there won't be any tax increases on Bush 's watch. So the good news is that there ' s bipartisan agreement on both short-term and long-term ends . The bad news is that the two sides are far, far apart on means . But both sides are scared enough about the long-term danger to be willing to negoti<1te seriously. Now. all they have to do is to see the short term as the prelude to the long term. Democrats have to restrain spending. and Republicans have to raise revenues. The fix isn't conceptually complicated. It just takes political courage. What great news it would be if our leaders found some. ( Morto11 K01u/racke is exee~uive editor of Roll Coli. the newspaper of Copito/ Hill.)

Before he left Sudan recently, Jan Egeland - the U.N. coordinator for humanitarian affairs - said that in a Darfur village, Serba, (National Public Radio, Dec. 1): "I saw a mother who sat with her child at a hospital. There was a bullet wound through the child·s neck. An armed Janjaweed militiaman said, 'I will shoot your child unless you give me money.' They had no money, so he shot the child. This. you know, is heartbreaking ." Not heartbreaking enough for t~.e world to stop this continuing genocide. However, there briel1y appeared to be some hope · when Bill Richardson. governor of New Mexico, and a presidential aspirant, said with fanfare, that he had persuaded Gen . al-Bashir and the rebels to agree to a 60day cease-fire. But a crucial r~bel group (Justice and Equality Movement ), denied three days later they had agreed to a cease-fire (AP. Jan . 12 ). In real, brutal life. Catholic Cardinal Gabriel Zubeir Wa.k:o, the arch- bi shop of Khartoum, said in his Christmas message: ''Without concern, news of massacres, rapes and other crimes against innocent , poor and weak civilians continues." But the International Criminal Court claims it is concerned. Chief prosecutor Luis Mareno-Ocampo told the annual meeting in The Hague of the court's members that he has "sufficient evidence to identify the perpetrators of some of the worst atrocities in Darfur" who have committed crimes against humanity (Washington Post. Nov. 25 ). Who will bring these perpetrators to trial without the permission of Gen . al-Bashir, who repeatedly. even after Jan . I. forbids any U.N. troops in Darfur. (And the United Nations say s it must have his pumi s,ion.) The ruthless general must surely be on the International Criminal Court's list of perpetrators of the'e crimes bv his troops and his Janjaweed militia.

Omar Hassan al-Bashir. that if he did not accept the U.N. plan to end the genocide in Darfur by Jan. I, there would be consequences. And the president's special envoy to Sudan, Andrew Natsios, said that if al-Bashir continued to stonewall, the Bush administration would implement its "Plan B." However, because "Plan B" is classified, we don't know the details. U.N. Security The Council's Resolution 1706 called for a Uuited Nations force of 20,000 to supplement the African Union's brave but thoroughly inadequate force of 7.000 in Darfur. By Jan. I. Gen. al-Bashir had not accepted the U.N. plan or Bush's ultimatum. On Jan. 7, the Sunday Telegraph in London wrote that the Sudan government's "bombers and helicopter gunships are reported to have attacked villages in open defiance of U.N. efforts." The next day, the African Union denounced addil'ional air strikes on civilian locations. And on Jan. 9. the Associated Press reported: "The U.N., the AU and international aid groups say Khartoum (Sudan's government) Is massively arming the Janjaweed (Gen. al-Bashir's killers and rapists) and the paramilitary has recently ·Carried out several deadly raids against civilians with the regular army's support ."

Govern~r seeks input from BY JULIE CARR SMYTH AP STATEHOUSE CORRE SPONDENT COLUMBUS - Gov. Ted Strickland took some of Ohio's most educated leaders to school on Monday, gathering dozens of college and university presidents for a daylong brainstorming session on a Columbus campus. The meeting, held at Columbus State Community College, brought together higher education leaders who often find their goals at . odds.

He accepted the job Sunday night and the hiring was announced Monday, with the contract to be completed later in the day. He was negotiating a four-year contract e~pected to pay him about $2.5 million a year. Tomlin, the team's third coach in 38 years, was hired on the same day two black coaches made the Super Bowl for the first time: Lovie Smith in Chicago and Tony Dungy in Indianapolis. Tomlin also may have benefited from the NFL's so-called Rooney Rule. Steelers owner Dan Rooney successfully lobbied in 2002 for a rule that requires all NFL teams to interview minority candidates for coaching jobs. After a successful first season as Minnesota's defensive coordinator, Tomlin's name was one of about a dozen on a list of qualified minority candidates given Rooney at a mid-December meeting in New York. Rooney is the chairman of the NFL's committee on workplace diversity. The intent of the Rooney Rule was to give coaches such as Tomlin a forum to display their credentials. And Tomlin was chosen largely because of the motivation, enthusiasm and organizational skills he showed in two strong interviews with Rooney, team president Art Rooney II and director of football opera- lions Kevin Colbert. '"It 's humbling," Tomlin said last week of being in the running tor one of the most high-profile jobs in pro sports. "These are great football people. I've got a great deal of respect for what they do and what they've done. lt'sjust a very humbling e~ perience to be involved in but, at ,the same time, professional football is what I do and I'm a competitor like everyone else." Tomlin's hiring completed a 2 112-week search in which he was initially viewed as an unlikely choice behind perceived front-runners Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm, but Whisenhunt later accepted the Arizona Cardinals' job. Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, the other finalist with Grimm and Tomlin, did not get a second interview because the Steelers would have had to wait until Feb. 5 to meet with him again. Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, recommended by Cowher, also didn't get a second interview. Tomlin will be the fourth consecutive Steelers coach who was a defensive assistant coach in his 30s with another team before being hired by them. Bill Austin was 37 when he was chosen in 1966, as was Chuck Noll in 1969, Cowher was 34 in 1992. What could be tricky is assimilating Tomlin's preference for the 4-3 defense into a Steelers system that has been built around the 34 since 1983. The Steelers have fitted their roster with players suited for the 3-4, such as All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu and Pro Bowl nose guard Casey Hampton. Redwomen score huge upset against Cedarville BY MARK WtWAMS SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL CEDARVILLE - The University of Rio Grande women's basketball team took a gigantic step toward a berth in the American Mideast Conference Tournament and also made themselves a strong candidate to win the AMC South with a I00-97 upset of NAJA Division II No. 4 Cedarville on the road on Saturday evening. Rio Grande (15-7, 7-3 AMCS) was clicking on all cylinders as its' winning streak moved to five straight. After falling behind 29-21 midway through the first half, Rio Grande took control of the game from that point and never trailed again. The Redwomen led by six at the half (45-39) as Cedarville's Kristine Rucker nailed a three-pointer at the buzzer. Cedarville , (16-5, 8-2 AMCS) managed to show why it is ranked where it is and played like the defending league champions. Rio was in control in the game, leading by 14 points with about six minutes remaining and then AMC Player of the Year candidate perennial NAlA All-American Brittany Smart nearly single handedly brought the Lady Jackets back to win the game. Thanks her efforts, Cedarville cut the deficit to 98-97 with eight seconds to play. Rio hit a couple of free throws and Smart's magic ran out as the Redwomen snapped an eight-game losing skid to the Lady Jackets. Rio had six players in double figure s led by senior point guard Carlesha Chambers Chambers had one of the best outings of her career in scoring 22 points, pullin~ down five rebounds and dtshing out four assists. Chambers' running mate in the back court, junior Britney Walker added 21 points and collected seven rebounds while going 9-for-10 at the free throw line. Senior center Candace Fe!J.uson scored 16 points wh1le sophomore forward Sarah Drnbinski and senior wing Lauren Fox chipped in 13 points each and sophomore guard Ka'Yanna Feaster tossed in II points off the bench. Smart led all scorers with, a season-high, 45 points. She also pulled down 14 rebounds and handed out five assists, Karah Walton also produced a double-double with 15 points and II rebounds. Knsti Beougher added 13 points and 13 rebounds while Stacie Travis tossed in II points and Mary Stockdale added I0 points and six rebounds. Rio is now in sole possession of ,second plac~ as Cedarville and Ohio Dominican are tied for the top spot.

He could have come back to try ending the longest playoff drought in the franchise's proud history. Or he could have come back to fin ish what he staited in developing quarterb!lck Tony Romo and a 3-4 defense. Instead, 15 days after a ~ut-wrenching playoff loss m Seattle, Parcells decided Monday to call it a career, ending a four-year run in Dallas and a 19-year tenure in the NFL that included three Super Bowls and two championships. "I am retiring from coaching football," Parcells said in a statement. "I want to thank Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones for their tremendous support over the last four years. Also, the players, my coaching staff and others in the support group who have done so much to help. Dallas is a great cit~ and the Cowboys are an mtegral part of it. I am hopeful that they are able to go forward from here.n Known for a gruff demeanor and colorful quotes, Parcells leaves with the ninth-most wins in NFL history and a career record of 183-138-1. He was 34-32 in Dallas, counting two playoff losses., He bact one year left at more than $5 million on a contract extension signed last January. '"I am in good health and feel lucky to have been able to coach in the NFL for an e~tended period of time," the 65-year-old coach said. Although he failed to make the Cowboys champions again, Parcells leaves the Cowboys better than he found it. The club went from three straight 5-11 seasons before he arrived to making the playoffs twice in four years. "His contributions to the game of football and to the NFL are immeasurable," team owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "We will always be grateful for his dedicated effort and commitment to the Dallas Cowboys." Parcells expected big things in 2006 and, thanks to the emergence of Romo, Dallas had a two-game divi'sion lead in December. Then the Cowboys lost four of their final five games, including the last three. The capper came against the Seahawks after Romo bungled the hold of a short field goal with a little more than a minute left "I did the best I could," Parcells said following that game. "But it wasn't quite good enough." The going theory was that Parcells wouldn't end his career that way. The longer he waited to make an announcement, the likelier it seemed that he would return - especially since he was going to his oftice every day. Then came Monday's statement via a morning email. He didn't even hold one last news conference to entertain with old stories and witty lines.

"Clearly, we wanted Bill to return for ne~t season, but I am completely understanding and respectful of his decision to retire from coaching." A team spokesman said Jones and Parcells will discuss various aspects of the organization - though not necessarily whom Parcells thinks should take his place. Expect Jones to handle that himself, as he's done with varying degrees of suecess since buying the team in 1989. His lirst two hires, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, combined to win three Super Bowls, keeping up the reputation started by Tom Landry. But the Cowboys haven't even won a playoff game since 1996, under Switzer. Chan Gailey. Dave Campo and now Parcells all tried and failed. "To our fans, I would like them to know that it is still all about winning," Jones said. "We have made progress on that front in the recent past, and we will continue to build on that progress with th,e belief that we have to do better." While Parcells spent the last two weeks-plus deciding whether to return, four other teams picked new coaches and a fifth. Oakland, is well into its search. Jones has given no indication of what kind of coach he'd hire next. The only hint in his statement was this : "Bill's coaching the Cowboys represented a will- ingness to embrace a different philosophy and approach toward winning. This e~perience will reinforce that willingness to be fle~ible." Jones could go for proven commodities like Tennessee's Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher. recently resigned from Pittsburgh, but both would re9uire compensation for the1r teams and massive salaries. He also might chase a big-name college coach , from Notre Dame's Charlie Weis, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops to Southern California's Pete Carroll, who replaced Parcells in New England a decade ago. Or, maybe Jones will pursue Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, or former NFL coaches like San Diego defensive coordinator Wade Phillips or San Francisco offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Turner would be a popular choice locally; he called plays for Dallas' Super Bowl team in 1992 and remains close to Troy Aikman. All candidates will have to accept Jones being the genera! manager. That might have driven away others before, but four years of avoiding ego clashes with Parcells likely has changed his reputation. The next coach also will face a decision of what to do about receiver Terrell Owe.ns, who is due a roster bonus in March. T.O. certainly isn't Parcells' problem any more. The first time Parcells walked away from coaching. his heart was an issue, The next time he supposedly was content that coaching was out of his system. He turned down several chances to return before in staving off double and triple teams, she made some great assists to teammates. A Rachael Pickens lay-up and ensuing free throw made the score 33-30 as Southern twice cut the lead to four, but coughed up turnovers in the bid to reduce Eastern's lead to two. Eastern regrouped and went 11-.14 at the line in the final round to pull away for the 45-32 win. Southern hit 12-of-48 overall, hitting l -3 threes, and just 7-of-17 at the line. Southern had 33 rebounds (Pi ckens 10. Riffle '6, Turley 7), 21 turnovers, lJl steals (Eddy 4, Hunter 4 ), four assists and 19 fouls . ' accepting Jones' offer. He said he took it because he liked the challenge of trying to make the Cowboys champions again, comparing it to playing on the main stage instead of being a lounge act. After four well-paid years, Parcells could be seriou s about retiring this time. He's already built a home in Saratoga, N.Y., to spend his post-football days near his family and the racetrack. Parcells' inlluence will remain because of all the coaches who worked for him, trom three-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick of New England to New Orleans' Sean Payton, this past season's coach of the year. Tom Coughlin of the Giants and Romeo Crennel of Cleveland also paid their dues under Parcells. "Bill's an excellent football coach and a very good friend," Coughlin said , ··we're going to miss Bill Parcells on the sideline and we'll miss him in the NFC East. I look forward to the continuation of our friendship at a different level now. I think Bill's looking forward to having the opportunity to do some of the things he truly wants to do. I wish him well." Parcells· specialty in foot ball was defense. His greatest trait as a coach, though. was his ability to turn around downtrodden clubs. All four teams he coached had losing records before he arrived, but all four were in the playoffs by his second season. No other coach has taken that many franchises to the postseason. "We're losing one of our all-time great coaches in our profession," Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith said. Eastern hit 14-of-35 field goals, 3-of-6 threes, and was 14-of-18 at the line . Eastern had 24 rebounds (Weber 6, Hayman 7, Milam5). 12 turnovers, nine steals (Hupp 4), 10 assists (Weber 4, Hupp 3, Brannon 2) and 21 fouls. !41TIIIN (41) Katie Hayman 5 2·2 1:c, Kay111 Milan 2 1-2 ~, Ryan Da,lo o o-o o.

He accepted the job Sunday night and the hiring was announced Monday, with the contract to be completed later in the day. He was negotiating a four-year contract e~pected to pay him about $2.5 million a year. Tomlin, the team's third coach in 38 years, was hired on the same day two black coaches made the Super Bowl for the first time: Lovie Smith in Chicago and Tony Dungy in Indianapolis. Tomlin also may have benefited from the NFL's so-called Rooney Rule. Steelers owner Dan Rooney successfully lobbied in 2002 for a rule that requires all NFL teams to interview minority candidates for coaching jobs. After a successful first season as Minnesota's defensive coordinator, Tomlin's name was one of about a dozen on a list of qualified minority candidates given Rooney at a mid-December meeting in New York. Rooney is the chairman of the NFL's committee on workplace diversity. The intent of the Rooney Rule was to give coaches such as Tomlin a forum to display their credentials. And Tomlin was chosen largely because of the motivation, enthusiasm and organizational skills he showed in two strong interviews with Rooney, team president Art Rooney II and director of football opera- lions Kevin Colbert. '"It 's humbling," Tomlin said last week of being in the running tor one of the most high-profile jobs in pro sports. "These are great football people. I've got a great deal of respect for what they do and what they've done. lt'sjust a very humbling e~ perience to be involved in but, at ,the same time, professional football is what I do and I'm a competitor like everyone else." Tomlin's hiring completed a 2 112-week search in which he was initially viewed as an unlikely choice behind perceived front-runners Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm, but Whisenhunt later accepted the Arizona Cardinals' job. Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, the other finalist with Grimm and Tomlin, did not get a second interview because the Steelers would have had to wait until Feb. 5 to meet with him again. Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, recommended by Cowher, also didn't get a second interview. Tomlin will be the fourth consecutive Steelers coach who was a defensive assistant coach in his 30s with another team before being hired by them. Bill Austin was 37 when he was chosen in 1966, as was Chuck Noll in 1969, Cowher was 34 in 1992. What could be tricky is assimilating Tomlin's preference for the 4-3 defense into a Steelers system that has been built around the 34 since 1983. The Steelers have fitted their roster with players suited for the 3-4, such as All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu and Pro Bowl nose guard Casey Hampton.

He could have come back to try ending the longest playoff drought in the franchise's proud history. Or he could have come back to fin ish what he staited in developing quarterb!lck Tony Romo and a 3-4 defense. Instead, 15 days after a ~ut-wrenching playoff loss m Seattle, Parcells decided Monday to call it a career, ending a four-year run in Dallas and a 19-year tenure in the NFL that included three Super Bowls and two championships. "I am retiring from coaching football," Parcells said in a statement. "I want to thank Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones for their tremendous support over the last four years. Also, the players, my coaching staff and others in the support group who have done so much to help. Dallas is a great cit~ and the Cowboys are an mtegral part of it. I am hopeful that they are able to go forward from here.n Known for a gruff demeanor and colorful quotes, Parcells leaves with the ninth-most wins in NFL history and a career record of 183-138-1. He was 34-32 in Dallas, counting two playoff losses., He bact one year left at more than $5 million on a contract extension signed last January. '"I am in good health and feel lucky to have been able to coach in the NFL for an e~tended period of time," the 65-year-old coach said. Although he failed to make the Cowboys champions again, Parcells leaves the Cowboys better than he found it. The club went from three straight 5-11 seasons before he arrived to making the playoffs twice in four years. "His contributions to the game of football and to the NFL are immeasurable," team owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "We will always be grateful for his dedicated effort and commitment to the Dallas Cowboys." Parcells expected big things in 2006 and, thanks to the emergence of Romo, Dallas had a two-game divi'sion lead in December. Then the Cowboys lost four of their final five games, including the last three. The capper came against the Seahawks after Romo bungled the hold of a short field goal with a little more than a minute left "I did the best I could," Parcells said following that game. "But it wasn't quite good enough." The going theory was that Parcells wouldn't end his career that way. The longer he waited to make an announcement, the likelier it seemed that he would return - especially since he was going to his oftice every day. Then came Monday's statement via a morning email. He didn't even hold one last news conference to entertain with old stories and witty lines. But Parcells isn't exactly rushing out the door, • E·m•ll class"ied@mydailytribune ,com • In One Week With Us REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS PLUS YOUR AD NOW ONLINE Websjtes: www.mydallytribune .com www.mydaitysentinel.com www.mydailyregister.com l\egi~ter (304) 675-1333 Now you con have borders and grophlcs added to your classified ads Jw~ Borders $3.00/per ad 1!!

"Clearly, we wanted Bill to return for ne~t season, but I am completely understanding and respectful of his decision to retire from coaching." A team spokesman said Jones and Parcells will discuss various aspects of the organization - though not necessarily whom Parcells thinks should take his place. Expect Jones to handle that himself, as he's done with varying degrees of suecess since buying the team in 1989. His lirst two hires, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, combined to win three Super Bowls, keeping up the reputation started by Tom Landry. But the Cowboys haven't even won a playoff game since 1996, under Switzer. Chan Gailey. Dave Campo and now Parcells all tried and failed. "To our fans, I would like them to know that it is still all about winning," Jones said. "We have made progress on that front in the recent past, and we will continue to build on that progress with th,e belief that we have to do better." While Parcells spent the last two weeks-plus deciding whether to return, four other teams picked new coaches and a fifth. Oakland, is well into its search. Jones has given no indication of what kind of coach he'd hire next. The only hint in his statement was this : "Bill's coaching the Cowboys represented a will- ingness to embrace a different philosophy and approach toward winning. This e~perience will reinforce that willingness to be fle~ible." Jones could go for proven commodities like Tennessee's Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher. recently resigned from Pittsburgh, but both would re9uire compensation for the1r teams and massive salaries. He also might chase a big-name college coach , from Notre Dame's Charlie Weis, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops to Southern California's Pete Carroll, who replaced Parcells in New England a decade ago. Or, maybe Jones will pursue Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, or former NFL coaches like San Diego defensive coordinator Wade Phillips or San Francisco offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Turner would be a popular choice locally; he called plays for Dallas' Super Bowl team in 1992 and remains close to Troy Aikman. All candidates will have to accept Jones being the genera! manager. That might have driven away others before, but four years of avoiding ego clashes with Parcells likely has changed his reputation. The next coach also will face a decision of what to do about receiver Terrell Owe.ns, who is due a roster bonus in March. T.O. certainly isn't Parcells' problem any more. The first time Parcells walked away from coaching. his heart was an issue, The next time he supposedly was content that coaching was out of his system. He turned down several chances to return before in staving off double and triple teams, she made some great assists to teammates. A Rachael Pickens lay-up and ensuing free throw made the score 33-30 as Southern twice cut the lead to four, but coughed up turnovers in the bid to reduce Eastern's lead to two. Eastern regrouped and went 11-.14 at the line in the final round to pull away for the 45-32 win. Southern hit 12-of-48 overall, hitting l -3 threes, and just 7-of-17 at the line. Southern had 33 rebounds (Pi ckens 10. Riffle '6, Turley 7), 21 turnovers, lJl steals (Eddy 4, Hunter 4 ), four assists and 19 fouls . ' accepting Jones' offer. He said he took it because he liked the challenge of trying to make the Cowboys champions again, comparing it to playing on the main stage instead of being a lounge act. After four well-paid years, Parcells could be seriou s about retiring this time. He's already built a home in Saratoga, N.Y., to spend his post-football days near his family and the racetrack. Parcells' inlluence will remain because of all the coaches who worked for him, trom three-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick of New England to New Orleans' Sean Payton, this past season's coach of the year. Tom Coughlin of the Giants and Romeo Crennel of Cleveland also paid their dues under Parcells. "Bill's an excellent football coach and a very good friend," Coughlin said , ··we're going to miss Bill Parcells on the sideline and we'll miss him in the NFC East. I look forward to the continuation of our friendship at a different level now. I think Bill's looking forward to having the opportunity to do some of the things he truly wants to do. I wish him well." Parcells· specialty in foot ball was defense. His greatest trait as a coach, though. was his ability to turn around downtrodden clubs. All four teams he coached had losing records before he arrived, but all four were in the playoffs by his second season. No other coach has taken that many franchises to the postseason. "We're losing one of our all-time great coaches in our profession," Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith said. Eastern hit 14-of-35 field goals, 3-of-6 threes, and was 14-of-18 at the line . Eastern had 24 rebounds (Weber 6, Hayman 7, Milam5). 12 turnovers, nine steals (Hupp 4), 10 assists (Weber 4, Hupp 3, Brannon 2) and 21 fouls. !41TIIIN (41) Katie Hayman 5 2·2 1:c, Kay111 Milan 2 1-2 ~, Ryan Da,lo o o-o o.

In November, voters rejected a proposed threemill operating levy replacement. AI that lime, Baker said the rejection of the levy created a $26,000 loss in revenue for the 2007 fiscal year. Approval of the levy would actually have generated approximately $50,000, since it was a replacement levy. Projected revenue for 2007 is more than $100,000 less than it was for 2006. because of the levy's failure and the loss of a $90,000 estate tax payment received last year. Levy proceed s would benefit the village's general fund , which pays for the operation of the police depanment , mayor\ office and counci l operations, income lax office, and legal services. General fund money is also used to retire two bank loans, one for a police cruiser and another taken fnr the demolition of the Mark V building . J. REED BREED@MVDAILVSENTINEL.COM • WHITE T·SHIRT J.

Brenda Barnhart, administrator of Mid-Valley Christian School, met with villa~e council' at Monday evenmg's regular meeting to discuss safety concems the school's staff and stu· dents' parents have about traffic passing the school at dismissal time. She requested that the village make the block between Hudson and WahiUI Streets a school zone, · with a reduced speed limit. Barnhart said the school's 45 students cross North Second Avenue to attend chapel and other events at the Rejoicing Life Church, but are accompanied by staff, who try to slow traffic at the intersection while children cross. She said motorists often travel too fast when passing by the storefront school, and have come very close lo striking students because of excessive speed. Parents picking up children at the end of the school ·day must do so from parking spaces in front of the school, she said, and with a growing enrollment, traffic has begun to cause ·more potential problems for the students. Barnhart said the alley behind the school cannot be used as a means of delivering and picking up children be~iluse of the objection of a property owner there . Ma~or Sandy lannarelli asked Village Administrator Bradford Anderson to meet with the street committee and Barnhart to formulate a solution to the problem. Other business In other business, council adopted policies for those renting the recently-renovated freight depot in Dave Diles Park, including a $50 rental fee and a $150 refundable deposit. Mary Wise of the depot restoration committee presented a list of rules for use, which council adopted. Councilman Robert Robinson abstained from the vote. lannarelli reported on an · upcoming increase in cable televi sion fees through Sudden Link.
