OUR VIEW •• Lessons l#'re a nation at war, but our compassion stays firm As 2001 nears it< end, we pause to reflect on how the year's events affected our lives, think about what the future holds and make resolutions to be healthy, wealthy and wise when the clock strikes midnight Dec. 31. Perhap~ the chief item Americans can hope for next year is a sense ofjustice arising from the war on terrorism. Things may appear to be in hand in Mghanistan, but as President Bush and other U.S. officials have warned, routing Osama bin Laden's forces from their enclaves does not spell an end to the world's assault on terror's deprivations. A recent poll indicated Americans may not be as worried about terror's impact as the dust settled on Ground Zero and the Pentagon. Does this mean everything is going back to normal again? · Our leaders have asked us to continue with our lives, but be mindful of what America's mission is now. But since US. loss oflife in Mghanistan has been minimal and AI-Qaida is on the run, are we forgetting why we're there and what brought us there? We hope not. Because it's very likely Mghanistan won•t be the last stop. There are no assurances that even if bin Laden's back is broken, attacks on the U.S. and its citizens won't cease. We're still a nation at war and everyone had better realize that fact. But if 2001 showed us anything, a politically and socially divided nation can pull together against an assault from overseas. This isn't just propaganda Washington wants us to know. The outpouring of support and relief total strangers showed to the victims of Sept. 11 is well documented, and has shown that the just, compassionate nature of our nation is alive and well. If a lesson has been learned about our society this year, it's that this nation is still strong. Let's carry that into 2002 as a resolution, one we won •t easily forget when the ball drops in Times Square. . TODAY IN HISTORY OUR READERS' VIEWS sons were driving.

Cast as a safety issue, it's only another way to raise more mpn"Y for .. local gove~nments. In my county, the fines are $25 or less, but, the minimum court cost is $144. It's not hard to see why they want stiffer seat belt laws. Frankly, if we have enough police in this state to worry about seat belts, I think we have too many police. I hope everyone who reads this letter contact their legislators to let their feelings be known on the issues.

BV THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Sunday, Dec. 30, the 364th day of 2001. There is one day left in the year. '· Today's Highlight in History: On Dec. 30, 1922, Vladimir I.

There's no denying bin LAden had an irifluence ebster's Dictionary defines influence as "to affect or alter by indirect or intangible means." Using that definition and examining 2001, who was the year's most influential person? If you stick solely to the above definition, one man stands above aU others: Osama bin Laden. bin Laden started the year as a thorn in the United States' side, a terrorist ringleader who preferred car bombs as his weapon of choice. Of course, Sept. 11 drastically changed Americans' impression of bin . Laden. To paraphrase another Middle East ~ad guy, bin Laden is now "the great Satan." He has altered our reality - perhaps forever. He has affected American policies, both foreign and domestic. And he had an indirect role in the loss of thousands of lives; There's no doubt in my mind; bin laden is the most influential person of 2001. However, there were · plenty of other influential folks. Here's a look ;;~a few, in no particular order: , • New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He has displayed leadership and charactet that is presidential in stature since the terrorist attacks .. I'm not a New Yorker by any means, but I hate to see him leave the mayor's office. He really answered the caU, displaying unbehevable grace under pressure. • President George Bush. The Texan is finally shedding his frat boy image and is becoming a strong leader. · His real influence will be seen in coming years as the war on terrorism continues, and he works with lawmakers to right the economy.

Southern (S-2, 2-2) clumsily mcandeted to a season-low 22 points at the half Despite another pressure defensive effort by the Tornadoes that forced I 3 6rst half turnovers, Waterford managed to put 34 points on d>e board in the first half . behind a I 0-of- I 5 shooting clip from two-point range, !hen maintained its lead throughout the second half. Behind a pair of 20-plus point elforts fi:om Billy Lee and Seth Arnold, .Waterford unleashed an uncanny 22-of-40 elfort fi:om the field for a red-hot 57.4 percent fi:om the field. WHS laced 6-of-tSthree's and 16-25 two's, while netting 21-of-37 at the line for 57 percent. Darin Sampson also hit double figures with ten points and Ben Cunningham added seven. Southern was led by Dally Hill who had a season low I I points, tying for top honor> with Nate Martin's eleven, Justin Connolly had ten, Jordan Bill 9, Macy Rees 7, and Craig Randolph six. Southern shot a tuiserable 2l-of-67 fi:om the field for 32 percent, including a cool 7-of-23 on three's for 32 percent and 14-of-44 two pointers. Southern shot less than half as many foul shots, going 8-of-16 at the line. Out of its offensive rhyshm fi:om the onset, Southern fell to 13-9 after one frame as only Dally Hill and Jordan Hill were able to break into the scoring column. The postChristmas doldrums and an intense Waterford Wildcat defense in part kept SOuthern from getting into the necessary offensive set. The lack of team play seen in recent victories was not present and Southern's numbers reflected that style of play. Waterford went on a second p~riod blitz and hammered the Tornadoes 21-13 in the spurt. Southernis defensive intensity continually forced Wildcat tumovers, however, Southern offensively could not capitalize on the miscues, and Waterford hit nearly every shot they threw up. That combination left the score 34-22 at the half and delivered a · 1 blow that Southern could not recover from. Southern did put 38 points on the board in the second half, led by eight fi:om Nate Martin, six from Macy Rees, and all ten ofJustin Connolly's points. The whistle-fest tilted highly in Southern's favor as Southern outfouled the Wildcats 29-17, resulting in three Southern starters getting early exits from the game. Waterford, scoring 37 points in the half, also remained hot and got a 13-of-26 boost from the foul lane. HadWaterford been as hot fi:om the line as fi:om the field, the game would have been a blowout. After three, the score stood 50-36 and · the final stood at 71-58. Southern grabbed only 20 rebounds (Connolly 8), falling on the short end of a 38-20 Waterford {Arnold I 1, Cunningham 9, and Harra 7) rebounding edge. Southern had five assists, I 5 ltcals (Dally Hill 6, Martin _3, Connolly 3), 23 turnovers, and 29 fouls. ' Southern's reserves fell 43-30 in the p;..mrunary contest.

The Marauders racked up 12 assists in the game and forced 18 Jackson turnovers.

He hit a follow of his own miJs and was fouled on his first trip down the floor, then added an 8-foot bank shot and two more inside shots as the Buckeyes turned a 14-12lead into a 23-17 lead. The Spartans shot 49 percent from the field but had 23 turnovers. Marauders advance to toumey quite a bit," he said. " He's a big ole boy, and once we convince him of what all he can do, I think we 'll be alright." The Viking offense took a definite hit early · when junior Drew Hunt and his 20-plus PPG scoring average left the game after he ran into a wall and likely fractured his big toe during the first quarter. The Vikes were still able to post a 20-16 lead after eight minutes without Hunt. OVC stayed in the game behind a pair of treys from Mike Jenks and scattered buckets by Holcomb and Jenkins. Jenks finished with nine points. Brandon Runyon added 1 I for Symmes Val.ley, including the pair of free throws which had tied the game at 60-60. David Owens added eight.

(AP) - Ohio State quarterback Steve Bellisari, suspended earlier this season after being arrested for drunken driving, will play Tuesday against South Carolina in the Outback Bowl. Coach Jim Tressel would not say if Bellisari would surt. But Tressel did confirm Bellisari, who hasn't played since Nov. 10 against Purdue, would see some time at quarterback. "That much I can tell you;· Tressel told reporters. . BeUisari has been a fixture on the practice field this week, working with rhe offense and on special teams, where he played as a freshman . Tressel could use BeUisari to spell Craig Krenzel, the Buckeyes' starting QB in their regular- season finale against Michigan, or work him in as an H-back or wide receiver. He's being a bit coy about his plaru for Bellisari, not wanting to tip off the Gamecocks. ."Steve's one of out best football players.". Tre5sel said. "There's no doubt he'll play. Where exacrly? That's the interesting point." ''I'm going to play;• said Bellisari, a senior and thtee-year srarter at quarterback. "That's all I know. I don't know bow much!' BeUisari was arrested for drunken driving on Nov. 16 and suspended by Tressel for the game against Illinois the following day. He Wa< reinsrated for the Michigan game Nov. 24, but never left the sideline in Ohio Srate ~s 26-20 vicrory. Bellisari later pleaded no contest and still has a three-day jail term to serve starting Jan. 11 . He also must ak• part in a three-day awareness program. Besides Bellisari, Tressel also is trying to decide who should replace Derek Ross at cornerback. Richard McNutt ran with the first team for most ofThursday's practice. Bobby Britton and backup safety Dustin Fox also have been given time in Ross' spot. Tressel said he does not yet know who will start, but said McNutt is the frontrunner. "He looks to me like he w:mts to be the guy there .. . I feel good alsout the W..y Richard is coming along," Tressel said. Ro15, who led the Big Ten in interceptions this season with seven, will miss the Outback Bowl because of shoulder surgery. Ross also has declared himself eligible for the NFL draft, forgoing his senior season . If McNutt, a sophomore, srarts and does weU, it could set him up for next year. "I've been waiting on the opportunity ro get out on the field full time and show what I can do, play ball;' he said." And this is a golden opportunity for me.

"Matt knows that he would be a< ked about what happened la<t year;' Cooper said. "He wants to put that behind him. And if people keep bringing it up, it doesn't help anything. So I think it's smart on his part to just sit back and stay out of the media attention so he doesn't have to replay that in his mind. That way he can move on."

He responded with 216 total yards, including 1J l yards carrying the ball. That helped his confidence. But the second-year pro was confident all along, even when he was a backup and third-down specwist. "It just gives you confidence to go out there and play well against a playoff team, one chat everyone thinks is a Super Bowl contender;• he said. "I know what I'm capable of, so I really don't have anything to prove to myself. But to the coaches and the fans, maybe." White's 131 yards rushing against the Packers came on 21 carries, an average of nearly 6 yards per carry. He had a long run of 51 yards. He was also a favorite target for BroWns quarterback Tim Couch. White caught nine passes fo~ 85 yards, with a long gainer of 45. yards. White is likely to be featured again Sunday, when the Browns plays the Tennessee Titans. Cleveland's starring running back for most of the season, rookie James Jackson, is out for the season with an ankle injury. White is trying to show that at 5-foot-9 and 208 pounds he is not too small to carry a big load in the Cleveland offense. ''You can't reall"y put a measurement on somebody's heart," White said. "When you go out on the field, you're either go,ing to lay it out there or not, and I'm one of those guys that lay it out there." Browns coach Butch Davis said the slick field condition in Green Bay gave White an edge over defenders, who had trouble adjusting to his quickness. "I chink I can do it in normal conditions;'·White said. "We were all in the mud, right?" White, who played college football at South Dakota, is used to doubte~ at the pro level. "First, it was that I was .too small," he said. "Then you have to go out and d() something to show that you're not too small. Then it's this and .then it's that.

(AP) -They're dose friends, former college teammates and two of the biggest stars in the NFL. Baltimore's Ray Lewis ~ the reigning NFL defensive player of the year and Tampa Bay's Warren Sapp was the league's most decorated defender two years ago. When the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens and Buccaneers meet Saturday night, it will be the first time the ex-Miami Hurricanes will be on opposite sidelines for a game other than the Pro Bowl. "It'll be fun watching th~ old dog work again beca!JSC I haven't seen him face to face in a working situation," Sapp said. "The Pro Bowl ain't a game. The Pro Bowl is having fun. ... This kind of game is what football is all about." Indeed, the stakes ~ill be high for the nationally televised , game. Baltimore (9-5) can clinch a playoff berth with a victory. Tampa Bay (8-6) can ~sure itself a postseason spot for the fourth time in five years with a win, coupled with an Atlanta loss or tie at Miami. "They're no more desperate than us. Everything 'is riding on ~he line for both of us," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "We're both taking the mindset that we have to win this game. Emotion, energy and focus is not going to be a problem for either team ." LeWis and Sapp talk on the phone three or four rimes a week. The conversations have been especially .feisty this week, although their tt;ISh-talking is never mean-spirited. "We go at it day-in and day-out with each other. 'I'm going to get more tackles than you.' All kinds of crazy stuff. Who's going to get the biggest hit, those types of things," Sapp said. "It's fun like that, because you relish the opportunity to see who's the better defense. That's what it's about this week. That's exactly what it's about. Who's got a better defense. We laid the blueprint, they perfected it. Now let's see who's the better team." Sapp was a third-year sophomore at Miami when Lewis was an incoming freshman. He took the newcomer under his wing and made the young linebacker feel at home on and off the field. "When I came in I had that Miami image, that bad boy image, the flamboyant side to me. Not that it's wavered that much, but when I was there I did so many' things when I wasn't starting,'' Lewis said. "He just embraced me as a brother and every time I would go somewhere, I was always trying to find out where he would be. I would always go where he went. He showed me so many different things, all positive things, and I really learned the rules from him." · Sapp was especially helpful when an injury thrust Lewis into . the starting lineup before a big game at Colorado. The freshman re<ponded with 20 tackles and an interception. "I walked in the huddle and Sapp said:'lt's your huddle now. Do your thing and we're going to tollow.' ... Everything was history from there.'' The two have remained close in the pros, even though they play in different cities and see less of one another. Sapp, the 1999 defensive player of the year, was a character witness at' Lewis' trial after the linebacker was charged in .the ' slayings of two men outside an Atlanta ·nightclub in January 2000. Lewis pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in exchange for testimony against his co-defendants. NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue fined him $250,000 for conduct detrimental to ... the league. · · Even though Sapp felt he was more dominant a year ago than he was when he was voted the league's top defender, he was happy for the success Lewis enjoyed after his legal problems. "It was gt.11if}'ing after everything he wenf through in '99 that he was able to come back and set all that aside and still be able to perform fot his ball club," Sapp said. "If he came out and had a bad year and said: 'Man, 'J went · through too much.' Everybody would have understood. But that ain't a 'Cane. That ain't Ray. ... He dug in a little deeper and just said: ' I know I'm a better person lhan they say I am, and I'm going to show them."' . .. CINCINNATI (AP) -The first regular-season game at their new stadium left the Pittsburgh Steelers worried. The crowd at Heinz Field was dis. tracted and subdued, nothing like the din the Steelers were accustomed to atThree Rivers Stadium. The fans rarely got worked up during a 16-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Players wondered aloud whether they'd left their home-field advantage back at the old stadium. Jerome Bettis even pleaded with fans to get wild again. As the playoffs approach, the Steelers feel they've regained a home-field advantage in the new place. A victory Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium .means they won't have to play anyplace else the rest of the way. At 12-2, the Steelers have clinched a first-round bye. If they beat the Bengals (4-10), they'll secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, leaving opponents with a tough road to the Super Bowl. The Steelers would love to turn Bettis and the NFL's top-ranked defense. loose on a raw, wintry afternoon in Pittsburgh with a capacity crowd screaming. "With the tans backing us the way they have in the past couple of games, it's going to increase our chances of winning," quarterback Kordell Stewart said. "The fans have been excellent. We need to keep giving them something to cheer about." A large percentage of the fans will be cheering for them Sunday when the Steelers put their seven-game winning streak on the line against a team that has lost seven in a row - and most of its fan support along the way. The Bengals drew only 44,920 fans for their last home game, a 14-10 loss to Jacksonville on a pleasant afternoon. The Steelers always bring thousands offans to ·Cincinnati, where there's a lot more room to fit them this rime. They could wrap up home-field advantage in something approximating a home-field setting. As of Thursday, the game was dose to selling out. "The first time we played in Cincinnati in their new stadipm last season, we had ·a lot of fans there," safety Lee Flowers ·said. "For them to be at home and we have more fans than they do, that's a little discouraging for them." Nothing new there. Everything· is discouraging for the Bengals these days. Quarterback Jon Kitna -and receiver Chad Johnson got imq a shouting tnatch by the bench in the dosing minutes of a 16-0 loss in Baltimore last Sunday, the sign of a team falling apart. "The thing we're facing now is, we have to stay together," cornerback Artrell Hawkins said. "If we don't, everyone knows a house divided falls." The Bengals were on a good roll when they opened Hein~ Field on Oct. 7, but got flattened anxway. Bettis ran for 153 yards and Pittsh)lrgh rushed for 274 in all, its best total since 1988. Bettis has missed the )ast three games with a groin injury and was questionable for the game in Cincinnati. The Steelers finish the tllgtllar season a week later against CJ.«<eland at Heinz Field. Bettis wants to play to get ready for the playoffs. Coach Bill Cowher doesn't want Bettis to aggravate the injury, limiting him in the playoffs. "What I do know' is that if I don't play, there's going ·to be a certain amount of rust," Bettis said. "The key is. to minimize the rust. Do I need to play? Need is a strong word. Would I like to play? Yes." While Bettis has rested, Stewart has emerged. He has thrown five touchdown passes and hasn't been intercepted in the last two games, keeping the offense rolling. "When Jerome went down, we put a little more on his shoulders;' Cowher said. "It has shifted to the point where now we're more of a balanced fuocball team. ~ertainly Kordell has been at the center of that: his decision-making, his accuracy, his focus and how he's handled it." The Bengals noticed that he has turned into a much better passer. since they played on Oct. 7. "[ think the biggesc difference is confidence and trust," coach Dick LeBeau said. "There's no hesitation. He's setting and he's reading (the defense) and he's going to the right guy. He's always had the ability to put that third ' ingredient in, and that's scrambling out and hurt- 3: ANTHRAX THREAT.

That combination attracted former . women's world extreme-skiing champion Kim Reichhelm, who runs a ski adventure tour company here. "The skiing is great, and what makes the community so unique is really friendly people who are so dedicated to preserving open spaces not letting developers take away the essence of what the town's all about," Reichhelm says. Extreme skiers easily can wear themselves out on · Crested Butte Mountain's intense lift-serviced runs, which carry names like Dead Bob's Chute and Body Bag. Then there's the backcountry terrain across four wilderness areas, including ·the open slopes surrounding the Irwin Lodge, a rustic mountainside cabin accessible only by snowmobile or snow tractor in winter. The town, all but encircled by 12,000 to 14,000-foot, snowcapped peaks, is slightly out of the way. State Route 135 from Gunnison, which runs mostly along the East River past ranch land and rocky hillsides speckled with elk and mountain goats, is the only paved road in. It's about a 30-minute drive from the Gunnison airport - or about three hours through the mountains from Colorado Springs and more than four hours from Denver. But the relative isolation is part of the attraction, especially for those seeking to avoid crowded slopes and long lift lines. "You feel far removed from everything, which is kind of how you'd romanticize Colorado and the Rockies," says resident Scott Nelson, 28, an avid skier who sampled much of the Rockies before deciding his adopted hometown. "It's like a mythical paradise deep in the mountains. and the fact that it's in a box canyon basically insures it will always be like that." For Nelson, paradise meant not just challenging skiing and splendid scenery, but also a sense of community and more architectural character than the contrived · rows of condos and hotels which have come co define so many resorts. With streets lit by antique lamps and turn-of-the-century buildings painted to enhance Victorian detail, the old mining town forms Colorado's largest historic district. Development has been restricted in the town proper. But it's relatively easy to. fmd lodging at ,one of the moremodern hotels or condomini~ms at the base of the ski area, · about three miles up a hillside road. A free bus system, which runs frequently and accommodates ski equipment, ensures easy access between the old town and the ll!OUntain resort. Crested Butte Mountain's .two highest lifts - a T-bar and a button lift - use antiquated mechamsms that might deter less avid skiers, and that's probably a good thing.

On the south side of the mountain are three avalanche shoots which, because of their shape. are called Banana, Peel and Funnel. Accessible by a delicate traverse from the top of the Silver Queen high-speed quad chair lift, the runs, which collect snow drifting down from the peak, generally do not pose a major avalanche risk. They will be closed if they do. Their southern exposure means more sun, which can be a detriment 10 powder skiing but softens up the base into maneuverable corn snow in springtime. Leis-experienced skiers snow fills the chutes is the easiest way down -''easiest" meaning that skiers deal only with. breathtaking steepness, and at some poi~ts massive moguls and clusters of trees. Those whose bravery at best hides their regard for their own lives - and it seems there are quite a few of them here - nimbly navigate the narrow patches of snow among the ledges, inevitably finding what the locals call "mandatory air" on the way down.

(AP/Tabasco) Dish up a piquant pork roast BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pork Roast With Spicy Cranberry Orange Glaze is a change-of-pa~e main dish to offer family or guests. It still has a festive air but it's not complicated to prepare, if the cook is at the stage of feeling a little overworked. Frequent basting makes sure the piquant gl~ze gets maximum coverage. Serving suggestion: Serve your pork roast with oven- .' roasted butternut squash sauce chunks and brussels sprouts. Rosemary sprigs for garnish Pork Roast With Spicy Preheat oven to 350 F.

Serve roast with pan juices if desired. Garnish roast with rosemary sprigs. Makes 6 servings. Fish Creole is a refreshingly light entree. The fish is stir-fried, and seasoned with the classic flavors of New Orleans - green pepper, celery, onion and tomatoes. Served over hot rice, the price you pay for such good taste in fat per serving is a reasonably low 9 grams. The recipe is from a treasury of practical ideas, Better Homes and Gardens' "Easy Everyday Cooking" (Meredith, $19.95) .

Performance has been sour for the past couple of years, and she wondered whether she should hold on, keep investing, or get .out of that investment all together. Thomas is a baby . boomer, aged 55, who just started investing two years ago. Her first fund choice was th~ Vanguard 500 Index Fund, the second-largest fund around in terms of assets, which currently tally about $68 billion. (The Magellan fund is the largest, with well over $73 billion in assets.) She picked Vanguard's Index 500 fund because of its past, long-term stellar performance. By mid-December, however, the fund's year-to-date perfor- mance was down 14.28 percent. Add this year's drop on top of last year's - when the fund was off over 7 percentand the value of her fund account had fallen over 21 percent since she'd made her initial one-lump sum investment of a few th.ousand dollars two years ago. Watching the value of your mutual fund account dwindle is never any fun. Trying to decide what to do because of it isn't either. Why? Because no one knows with any definitive cettainry what the future will bring - particularly when it comes to investing. Given that uncertainry, here's a look at some of the investment options . Thomas has regarding her fund investment going forward. As ·you're read. ing, why not let that Kenny Rogers' oldies hit, "The Gam- PIMM-SAP,Dt Have a business news item?

Giuliani nears deal with Yankees, Mets for ballparks NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Yankees and Mers could make their biggest otTseason acquisitions with the help of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani: a pair of new $800 million stadiums. The cost of the proposed new ballparks, each with a retractable roof, would be divided evenly between the ciry and ihe two teams, Giuliani said Wednesday. But final word on the plan belongs to incoming mayor Michael Bloomberg, who said the stadium package is a good one because New York is a "first-class city," that deserves "first-class· facilities." Giuliani, who appeared determined to work out the deals in the five days before his term' expires, said he hasn't concluded negotiations with the teams. Under the proposal, the state would pick up • $.150 million tab for infrastructure improvement around Y•nkee Stadium - including puking and a new subway station, Giuliani said. The ciry would issue taxexempt construction bonds to cover the construction costs, with the teams •nd the ciry dividing the $50 million a year debt service. Mets spokesman Jay Horowitz confirmed the· terms of the proposed deal. A spokesman for the Yankees was unavailable for comment. According to Giuliani, the teams would sign 35-year leases with no escape clauses. While there is no .deailline looming to force a stadium deal, the Yankees' current lease with the ciry expires after the 2002 season. Giuliani insisted the deal, believed to be the largest pri· vate-pub!ic venture in b•seball history, would pay for itself.
