Ohio's health risk from industrial air pollution leads' nation,-AS Falcons still in playoff hunt with win over Sain~ BY CHARLES 0DUM ASSOCIATED PRESS Michael ATLANTA _ Vick and the Atlanta Falcons served notic·e that they are still dangerous - and not yet out of the pluyoll race.

Vtck stayed m fo~ two more plays before calling a timeout with 9:2I_Ieft to play and slowly walkmg ott the field. Vick was walking on hi s own power as he was escorted to the locker room. There was no immediute update On the severity of the injury. ''Mike doesn't miss games. He'll do whatever it takes to gel ready to go," coach ·Jim Mora said. · Before facing the Saints, the Falcons (8-5) lost three of four games to fall behind the top six teams in the NFC. The Falcons would lose NFC tiebreakers with two other 8-5 · . teams. D.allas and Minnesota. With games left against Chic'ago, Tampa Bay and Carolina, the Falcons still face a tough climb to make the playoffs, but they regained momentum against the Saints. · Vick was 12-of-23 for 231 yards with a touchdown and an interception and rushed for 38 yards in his fourth career game with two rushing sGores. Alge Crumpler caught three passes for 94 yards. New Orleans' Aaron Brooks passed for 219 yards and a touchdown and Antowain Smith rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown on II carries. Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who seems to thrive in Monday night games, provided the·. firsi big play of the game when he stripped the ball from receiver Joe Horn followin~ a thirddown catch . for first-down yardage in the first quarter. !-fall pulled the ball loose 'before Horn hit the ground and returned the recovery 20 AP photo Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick (7) scrambles away from New Orleans Saints defender Fred Thomas (22) in the first quarter of their game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Monday. yards to the Saints 12, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by TJ. Duckett . Hall had interce;:nions in each of Atlanta's first two Monday night games this season. He had another apparent interception return for a touchdown late in the first half wiped out hy a roughingthe-passer penalty against Demorrio linebacker Williams. With Atlanta leading 7-3 following John Carney's 47yard field goal. the Saints evened the turnover count at 1-1 when Will Smith deflect- ed Vick's pass and Jason Craft returned the interception 19 yards to the 6. On first down, Smith bulled through the line for a touchdown and a 10-7 Saints lead. Vick gave the lead back to Atlanta with his 2-yard dive for the pylon, capping a drive that .included a 36-yard pass to Brian Finneran . . On third-and-goal from the 2, Vick scrambled to his left and appeared to be pushed out of bounds near the I. The officials spotted the ball at the I, but Mora called for the review. " Because Mike Vick told· me to," Mora said. "He said 'Challenge it, we'll win it.' You listen to what No. 7 says." The officials ruled the run was.a touchdown after replays showed Vick kept his leg in bounds as he flew over the pylon with the ball in his hands. Vick went to the air - with a little trickery from Mora's playbook - for the Falcons' next touchdown . Late In the second quarter, Vick lined up as a wideout as Warrick Dunn took the snap and then pitched the ball to the quarterback. Vick, under pressure from defensive end Tony Bryant, waited for White to get open and then heaved the ball downfield. Vick took a big hit from Bryant, but White. caught the ball between defensive backs Dwight Smith and Josh Bullocks and then outran Fakhir Brown to the end zone for the 54-yard touchdown reception. The Falcons' 21-10 lead lasted barely a minute as the Saints answered with a nineplay, 90-yard touchdown drive capped by Brooks' 9yard pass to Az-Zahir Hakim. Vick and the Falcons stretched the lead in the third quarter with another quickstrike touchdown. After taking possession at the Saints 48, Vick passed to Crumpler for 3 I yards. On first down from the 17, Vick faked a handoff to Dunn to his left and then took .off on a run tii the right, fooling most of the Saints. Vick high-stepped over the pylon, and this time .no. review was needed for the touchdown call and a 28-17 lead. . Atlanta's defense contributed a safety with 40 sec- · onds left in the third quarter, pushing the lead to 30-17. One play after rookie Darrell Shropshire sacked Brooks at the 4 for a loss of six yards, Antwan Lake _dropped Brooks in the end zone for ·the safety. After Vick left the game, Peterson kicked a 43-yard field goal. Schaub's 48-yard pass to Crumpler set up a 20-yard field goal by Crumpler with 3:01 left to play.

O' Brien te,tified in the opening day of the trial in his wrongful firin g lawsuit against Ohio State. which say' he knew he was violating NCAA rules by keeping the loan a secret for more th an five years. The seven-year head coach of the Buckeyes was fired June 8. 2004. Then-athletic director Andy Geiger said 0' Brien was fired after the coach ackoowledged to him he had give n $6.700 in 1999 to 7-foot-3 ce nter Aleksandar Radojevic. o· Brien described the amount as $6.000 in cash he built up in a locked desk drawer. He said he already had learned in a letter that Radojevic played for a professional team in his native Serbia. and the player con- firmed it for him. "He had lost his amateur status," 0' Brien s.nid. "Unless something was going to change, he was not going to play for an NCAA institution .'' University attorneys said it was still a violation because Radojev ic had not been disqualified officially. O'Brien is sui ng in the Ohio Court of Claims for $3.5 million in back pay and benefits, which could grow by millions if interest and other damages . are awarded. COLUMBUS (AP) .Ohio State players aren 't cleared to shoot as many 3pointers as they would like. Sometimes it just looks that way. JJ. Sullinger scored 15 points to lead six players in double figures, and Ohio State used runs before and after halftime 10 pull away for a 92-59 win over Norfolk State on Monday night Ohio State scored 55 poi Ills in the second half, partly due to a I 0-of-20 performance · from 3-po_int range. Ohio State finished 14-of-32 behind the arc, while Norfolk State was 4of-12. The 3-point barrage carne one ganie after Ohio State made II 3s in an 81 -74 win at Saint joseph's on Saturday. : Buckeye s coach Thad Matta said his players can shoot a 3 when it's the best shot available. · "I don't think I'd call it a green light We talk about good shot selections and when to shoot them , but I thought that was the shot they were giving us," he said. Terence Dials had 13 points and led the Buckeyes (5-0) with eight rebounds. Ron Lewis added 12 points, Je' Kel Foster had II and Jamar Butler and Ivan Harns each scored 10. Calvin Brown · led the i ' Spartans (2-5) with 16 points and Tony Murphy had 12. Norfolk State didn't have any one else score in double figures and shot just 39 percent from the floor. "I think we got to a point where we were making one pass and a shot, as opposed to moving the ball and making them play defense," Norfolk State coach Dwight Freeman said. 0hio State improved to 10-0 against teams from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference· and began a season with five wins for the first time since going 6-0 to start 200 I'02. All of Norfolk State's losses this season have come against nonconference opponents. The first match up between the schools was closer than expected for the first 15 minutes, with the Spartans . trailing only 23-20. The Buckeyes closed the first half with a 14-2 ·surge and opened the second half on a 16-8 spurt to take a 5330 lead with 15:39 remaining. Sullinger had five points in each run. "We stringed some stops together, got some good plays and went from there," Foster said. Norfolk State got no closer than 17 points after Ohio State's second-half run and trailed by as many as 36 because of the Buckeyes' 3point shooting. "We need to get· the ball to Terence . He is shooting realIy well," Sullinger said about the Buckeyes' shot selection. "However, all the 3-point shots we did take were good shots and· came off penetration.". In addition to its 3-point . advantage, the Buckeyes also had a large edge at the foul line, making 24-of-30 while the Spartans went 9of-16. The balanced scoring attack was nothing new for . the Buckeyes. Foster, Lewis, Dials, Butler and Sullinger all average double figures. Sharing the basketball pleases Matta, who believes players build confidence in their offense the more they score. "Hopefully that's something we can continue to grow on," he said.

In recent times, she has worked ti.relessly lo have the entire building, which housed the theatre, purchased by Ann Carson Dater, formerly a resident of Meigs County.

Other organizations and individuals receiving awards include the Hocking Valley :scenic Railway and Stuart's :opera ·House, Delmar Burkitt of Pike County and Christine Far of Village ' Productions in Athen s County. The awards ~re to ilonor individuals and organiza tions whose legacy is leaving us with some amazing ·exam ples and wonderful gifts that · will become the heritage of future generations. The Ohio's Hill Country Heritage Area Heritage Awards are to recognize and give thanks for their vision, dedication and acts of love to their communities. These are ordinary people who have chosen to do some amazing things that will enrich people 's lives, hopefully forever. They have each become part of the rich her, itage of the beautiful · hill country region of the state of Ohio. This is a way to thank and honor them and to recognize and bring attention lo the value of their work so that it may inspire others. Ohio 's Hill Country Heritage Area encompasses Ohio 's Appalachian region and is one of the state's officially designated heritage' areas.

NATION Face transplant gives hope to disfigured patients The Daily Sentinel Bv LINDSEY TANNER AP MEDICAL WAITER CHICAGO - In some circles, the partial face transplant performed on a woman in France is more than a medical oddity. It is an exciting new source a! hope to burn victims 'like Bernhard Heitz. ·Burn survivors ''go crazy about it, they love the idea." said . Heitz , who suffered extensive di sfiguring burns to his nose, lips. ears and body in a 1997 plane crash and is now president the World Burn Foundation, a support group. . "Now that they know they' can do it, I' m sure people are going to start asking their doctorS." During the Nov. 27 operation, a · 38-year-old Frenchwoman mauled by her dog received a new nose, lips and chin from a brain-dead PageA6 Wednesday, December 14, 2005 donor. It was the world's first face transplant and an operation many medical experts consider experimental, but Heitz said many burn victims are undaunted . "They're very happy to take the risk if they would be given the chance because anything is better than what they have," he said. Face transplants are not available in the United States. although two medical centers, the Cleveland Clinic and University of Loui sville, hope to offer them eventually. Exactly how many burn survivors might be eligible for such surgery is difficult to say. Some patients· might not be psychologically stable enough. And some patients such as those wtth severe injuries to the bones - would not be ideal candidates for the operation. The French opera- tion involved a transplant of flesh , and would do nothing to correct the underlying bone structure. Heit7:, 43, said he gladly would have had a face transplant when · he was first injured. Instead. doctors used grafts of skin from his but· tocks to rebuild his face, and other grafts for the rest ·of his body. "I stopped counting at 50 operations." he said. Dr. Bruce Cunningham, president of • the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, based in Arlington Heights, Ill., said the French case opens up tantalizing possibilities. Such transplants could overcome some of reconstructive surgery's biggest obstacles, such as: "How do you make lips0 How do you make a mouth that moves or eyes • that open?"

"But this was a lot . different situation here because a 1.000-yard season hadn't been done in a while. . So I had to do more than that" Before Droughns eclipsed the 1,000-yard barrier on Dec. 3 against J~cksonville , the Browns were the only team in the league not to have a I,000-yard rusher in the past 20 years. In 1985, Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack did it for Cleveland. Droughns said he picked out the watches himself. "I hope the guys like them. I paid a pretty pet;~ny for them," said Droughns, who would not divulge their cost. Center Jeff Faine was overwhelmed by Droughns ' generosity.

Not only has Philadelphia played lately without leading . scorers Peter Forsberg and Simon Gagne. and key defensemen Joni Pitkanen and Eric Desjardins, the team had to -weather a challenging second period Tuesday night. Rookie Jeff Carter scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period and Philadelphia killed 3:02 of two-man power play time in a 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. "I don 't know if we're sur·viving." Hitchcock said of his team, which has won five of its last seven. "When vou play with some composure you're going to win a lot of close games, especially on the road. Even when things got a little bit hairy like they did in the second period we gathered ourselves in the third. We did a great job." Forsberg. who has 18 points in I 0 career games against Columbus, also scored for the Flyers, and Sami Kapanen added an empty-net goal with 8 seconds remaining. Philadelphia is 3-0-3 overall against Columbus. Jan Hrdina scored a powergoal for the Blue Jackets, who had won four of their last six games. Carter gave Philadelphia a 2.-1 lead early in the second period, pushing iri a loose puck for his eighth goal of the season. "It was kind of a broken play to start out with,'' Carter said. "Our defenseman made a good play trying to keep it in. It was pretty much sitting their for me to tap it. in." Philadelphia. which entered with the league's worst penalty kill, stood the test against Columbus' power play, ranked last, during the period. The Flyers killed six power plays. "There w.ere a lot of chances," Columbus coach Gerard Gallant said. "It was good to get one early, but it was very disappointing not to get one on one of the five-onthrees in the second period. You have to get a goal on one of those when you are down 2-1. T.hat was the difference in the game ." During one stretch of a I :05 two-man advantage, Columbus' Sergei Fedorov hit the right post and goalie Robert Esche stopped Niko lai Zherdev's closerange attempt. Moments later, Esche made a lunging toe save on Geoff Platt's shot from near the far post. "! think I got fortunate, they just hit me," Esche said, playing his first game since missing four with a groin injury. "Some days they hit you, some days they don't. Today I think I was more fortunate than other days." Hrdina , positioned in front of Esche, scored at 5:42 of the first opening period, redirecting Duvie Wescott's pass from the right point. The point was Hrdina's sixth in six games after he had only three in his first 21 games. Forsberg responded for the Flyers just over a minute later with an individual effort. He stripped 'the puck from Jaroslav Balilstik at the blue line, beat Wescott at the left circle and jammed his· own . rebound past· Marc Denis for his IOth goal. "It was a creation of good hustling and a turnover from their side," said Forsberg, who has three points in two games since missing six with a groin injury. Esche finished with 23 saves, and Deni s made 28 saves. Notes: Before the game, Fedorov said he won 't play for Russia in the Turin . Olympics. Fedorov, a sixtime NHL All-Star who turned 36 on Tuesday, said he needed the time to recuperate from a nagging injury and to adapt to his new team .... The Blue Jackets are 4-8 since Fedorov was acquired Nov. 15 in a trade with Anaheim. They were 5-13 b~fore his .arrival. ...
