4A THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 2011EDITORIAL BOARDPAUL A. CLARIN/PUBLISHERTOM TUELL/EDITORRALPH MORROW/SPORTS EDITOROPINIONED BLOCKCHARLIE BRADFORDKEN DOMANSKISHIRLEY FREEMANTODD GERMANHealth care and theRepublican agendaEditorialThe Republicans whotook over the Houseand made significantgains in the Senate arealready playing a chancygame with their power.Their plans to spend thefirst part of this congressionalsession trying to undoPresident Obama’s agendasuggest both a misreading ofthe public temperature andan unhealthy willingnessto value politics over obviousnational interest. Theyshould take a deep breathbefore proceeding.Consider just two itemsfrom the Republicans’ suicidelist: They say they wantto repeal last year’s healthreform plan and they want toblock funding for a new foodsafety law. Either they aren’tpaying attention or theyaren’t serious. Both could betrue.Consider health reform.No credible person deniedin the years leading up tothis bill that our health caresystem was broken. We paymore than any other Westerncountry for health care — farmore, in fact — for resultsthat are only mediocre.Costs are rising so quicklythat increasing numbersof employers are lookingto eliminate the benefit, orpass along costs that gobbleup pay raises. Millions ofAmericans lacked insurance,causing them to go withouthealth care or, in manycases, to show up in hospitalemergency rooms.It was a wreck of a system.It needed fixing. How wellObama and the DemocraticCongress accomplishedthat is a matter of debate.We think that, in large measure,they missed the boat,because their approach didtoo little to control costs.Without that component,reform is liable to fail.But that doesn’t meangoing back to a brokensystem, which is what theRepublicans are proposing.They talk about “reformand replace,” but as was thecase last year when they didnothing to improve this bill— wanting only to obstructit — they have had nothingto say about fixing an urgentnational problem.That’s leadership? Whyaren’t they proposing asystem to fix health care?Here’s why: That takes work.Not only is it much easierto bellow “Repeal!,” but italso plays well to the farrightelements that wag theRepublican dog.Fixing health care — whichmeans acknowledging alegitimate government role— is much riskier. It’s alsomuch more responsible, butnever mind.As to food safety, only on[Jan.4] did Obama sign a$1.4 billion overhaul of thenation’s food safety system,but Republicans are alreadytalking about withholdingfunding. The old system,such as it was, had beenin place since the 1930s.Techniques have changed.Standards have risen. And,more to the point, peoplehave fallen ill. Several deadlyoutbreaks of E. coli andsalmonella poisoning haveoccurred in the past fewyears in peanuts, eggs andproduce.The bill passed withoverwhelming support inCongress and from the foodindustry, so the chances ofstarving it of funding seemunlikely.But the same forces areat work as in the healthcare bill: What is importantis placating the far right,even if that means returningto a dysfunctional healthcare system or exposingAmericans to tainted food.There is lots more, too.Republicans also want toundo the financial reformsthat Congress approved inthe aftermath of the worstfinancial crisis since theGreat Depression — a crisisthat was brought on in largepart by the lack of regulationsto which many in theGOP would now like toreturn.Republicans may feelboxed in. The tea party-typeswho are the psychologicalrulers of the Republicanroost care nothing fordetails; they want only to cutspending, and the party atleast has to pretend to payattention.But Americans didn’t votelast year for a return to theanti-regulatory recklessnessof the Bush years. They wanta government that deals withreal problems in a responsibleway. CongressionalRepublicans aren’t startingout on that foot.If they continue, they maylive to regret the day they satdown to tea.— The Buffalo (N.Y.) NewsGlobal warming nota matter of opinionLetters to the editorI would like to congratulateMr. Donald Huskey (“Manateedeaths show planet is cooling,”Letters to the editor, Jan. 12)for his serious thought on avery important matter, namely,global warming. He states thatcold Florida winters, resultingin increased manatee deaths,are evidence that the world iscooling. I have heard a numberof people make this sameargument. This argument ismistaken. Here are a few factsto consider:1. Ninety-seven percent ofscientists who are active inclimate research agree thatglobal warming is a real phenomenonand that humans doplay a role (2007 University ofIllinois survey).2. The loss of sea ice in theArctic has raised ocean temperaturesthere. This has disrupted“normal” atmosphericpressure patterns and allowscold, Arctic air to dip downinto the southern UnitedStates. This causes our coldsnaps that have gotten moresevere in recent years and is adirect effect of global warming.(Scientific American, Jan.5, 2011, Marshall & Stecker andClimatewire).3. Weather is local. Climatechange is global. Surveys byGallup and the MuhlenbergCollege Institute of PublicOpinion have shown that beliefin global warming (by the public)increases after a hot summerand decreases after a coldwinter.For anyone interested inreading the Scientific Americanarticle, here is the link:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=bulge-in-atmospheric-pressure.Global warming is not a matterof opinion or politics. It has,and will continue to have, amajor impact on the world forgenerations to come. Opinionswill not matter. What will matteris what people like you andI, regardless of our opinions,decide to do.Michael LarsonKey WestScience, not politics,provides climate factsTo those who use anecdotalinformation to claim that we’reexperiencing global cooling, Iwould cite information froma recent piece in the New YorkTimes:“The new figures confirmthat 2010 will go down as oneof the more remarkable yearsin the annals of climatology.It featured prodigious snowstormsthat broke seasonalrecords in the United Statesand Europe; a record-shatteringsummer heat wave thatscorched Russia; strong floodsthat drove people from theirhomes in places like Pakistan,Australia, California andTennessee; a severe die-off ofcoral reefs; and a continuationin the global trend of a warmingclimate.”Anyone who can’t see whatis happening — floods in thesouthern hemisphere andunprecedented snowstorms inthe northern — isn’t looking oris denying science in the nameof politics.The Times article continues,“It was the 34th year runningthat global temperatures havebeen above the 20th-centuryaverage; the last below-averageyear was 1976. The newfigures show that nine of the 10warmest years on record haveoccurred since the beginningof 2001.”I’ll put my trust in scienceand not politics twisted bycorporatism. And, I’ll continueto reduce my greenhouse gasemissions because it’s the rightthing to do.Michael WelberMarathonExtreme weather ispart of global warmingMr. Huskey just doesn’t getit, and reversed [what] scientistssay — the vast [majorityof] independent scientist say[global warming] is happening.What most don’t get is thatglobal warming is a trend thatleads to the world generallywarming, but also leading toextremes of abnormal hot andcold.Cold [in the] temperatesouth and tropics, and at thesame time warm in the Arcticand Antarctic.There is the problem. Globalwarming does not mean hoteverywhere — just ever moreextreme weather.Hayward McKeeKey WestLETTERS POLICY: The Key West Citizen welcomes your letters to the editor, and asks that readers follow these guidelines for letter submission. • Only original lettersaddressed to The Citizen will be published; open letters are not accepted. • Letters must include the writer’s name, address and a daytime telephone number.

You have towrite a story, too, about theocean when you get back toclass. ... You’re in charge.”Jorge grinned, the firststudent empowered totouch our new camera andofficially implement thetechnology side of LiteracyVolunteers of America’sNational Oceanic andAtmospheric Administrationpilot project grant, “TheLVA Environmental LiteracyProgram.” The goal: EngageEnglish as a Second Language(ESL) adult and youth learnersin technologically facilitatedoutdoor experiential learningto improve environmental,ocean, climate and Englishliteracy.What does that mean?“You take your student outof the classroom and on aboat trip,” said Wolkoff. “Youput a digital camera in onehand, and a GPS in the other.But before the trip, you teachthe Ocean Literacy curriculumso students learn oceanvocabulary. The more Englishthe better — and what bettersubject than the ocean? It’s allaround us.”On the boat, studentsremember what they learnedin class as they experiencethe ocean, then create storiesabout their ocean adventurein English and their nativelanguage, notes volunteertutor Gordon McIntosh. “Ourstudents are learning OceanLiteracy and English literacysimultaneously.”Project goals include ESLstudents learning to usedigital cameras, waterproofunderwater high-definitioncameras and GlobalPositioning System (GPS)technology to locate, explore,observe, record, display andtell stories both in words,photos and short videosequences.Peter Tuddenham, executivedirector of The Collegeof Exploration, LVA’s projectpartner, oversees the technologypiece.“LVA has used the languageexperience approach for thepast 25 years to teach students,but now our new projectadds another dimensionto learning with cutting edgetechnology and an outdoor,experiential learning situation,”said Tuddenham.The language experienceapproach is based on activitiesand stories developedfrom the personal experiencesof the learner. The studentrelates a story of personalsignificance to the teacher/tutor; the teacher repeats thestory back to the student; theydiscuss and elaborate andthe student writes it down.The tutor gets the studentto expand on the story; theteacher helps correct the storyand the student then elaboratesfurther. The new story iswritten, and re-read.Students learn and retainusing authentic materials thathave personal relevance intheir lives.The use of the languageexperience approach datesback at least 40 years. It assistsstudents with connectingtheir own life experiences towhat they are learning aboutin and outside of a traditionalclassroom setting. Theapproach, first developed forMaori-speaking and native-English-speaking children,has been used successfullywith learners of all ages.Harvard educational psychologistHoward Gardnerfound that outdoor educationfosters “connected knowing,”where education is part of,rather than separate from, life.Unlike classroom learning,outdoor education uses thestudent’s whole environmentas a source of knowledge. Itincludes more than studiesof nature, although learningabout the environment iscertainly an important aspectof this educational tradition.It encompasses the use ofthe outdoor environment —whether natural or man-made— to promote learning fromexperience and enrichment ofnearly any subject in the curriculum.LVA has three NOAApartners participating inthis two-year pilot project:Florida Keys NationalMarine Sanctuary, AtlanticOceanographic andMeteorological Laboratoryand Southeast FisheriesScience Center.

Edward M. Kennedy,honoring his work on civil rights. A posthumousaward was presented to the senator’s widow,Vicki Kennedy. The senator died at age 77 in2009, after battling brain cancer.“Edward Kennedy’s maiden speech as ayoung United States senator was a demand tomake real the ideal of America and secure thecivil rights of every American,” his wife toldthe crowd. “And nearly a half-century later,the last speech of his life was the call to com-DAVID GOLDMAN/The Associated PressYolanda King, 2, left, in the arms of her motherAndrea King, right, looks up Thursday at a portraitof her grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.plete the journey.”Although the dinner was a celebration, King’schildren and sister were mindful of the Jan. 8assassination attempt on Arizona Rep. GabrielleGiffords, who is recovering from a gunshot tothe head.Both the Kennedy and King families havebeen seared by political violence. President JohnKennedy was assassinated in November 1963,and King and Sen. Robert Kennedy were slainmonths apart in 1968.“We have always felt that we shared a sense ofdestiny,” said Andrew Young, a former Atlantamayor who marched alongside King, speakingof the ties between King’s movement and theKennedys.If they shared a destiny, it was sometimestense. Civil rights leaders were frustrated thatthe Kennedy administration did not move fasteron the issue, and as attorney general, RobertKennedy authorized the wiretapping of King.Congress passed landmark civil rights legislationfollowing President Kennedy’s assassination,and both Robert Kennedy and Kingchampioned liberal causes over the next fouryears. After King was shot dead on April 4, 1968,Robert Kennedy broke the news of his death toa mostly black crowd while campaigning forpresident in Indianapolis. He quoted the Greektragedian Aeschylus.“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forgetfalls drop by drop upon the heart until,”Kennedy said, “in our own despair, against ourwill, comes wisdom through the awful graceof God.”Edward and Robert Kennedy attended King’sfuneral in Atlanta. Two months later, RobertKennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles afterwinning the California primary.King’s followers found in Edward Kennedyan ally.“My brother was the first president of theUnited States to state publicly that segregationwas wrong,” a 32-year-old Edward Kennedy saidon the Senate floor as the chamber consideredthe Civil Rights Act of 1964. “His heart and soulare in this bill. If his life and death had a meaning,it was that we should not hate but love oneanother; we should use our powers not to createconditions of oppression that lead to violence,but conditions of freedom that lead to peace.”A friend of Coretta Scott King, EdwardKennedy sponsored legislation that made King’sbirthday a national holiday. He joined the Kingfamily in Atlanta for the first King Day celebrationin 1986. Speakers on Saturday noted thatEdward Kennedy supported sanctions againstthe apartheid regime in South Africa, backedexpanding access to health care and endorsedBarack Obama, who became the first black manelected president.King was a hero to Kennedy, his wife said.“On this day, let us rededicate ourselves towhat is best in our country,” she said. “Surelywe know it when we live it, as these two menlived not just for themselves, but for others.One of them told us, ‘I have a dream.’ The otheraffirmed, ‘The dream shall never die.’”School board memberblasts MLK Day on radioBY P. SOLOMON BANDAThe Associated PressGREELEY, Colo. — A localschool board member andradio station owner has comeunder fire for airing an editorialdenouncing the holiday honoringslain civil rights leader Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. The broadcasterremains unrepentant anddefiant in the wake of communityoutcry.Brett Reese is airing the editorialfour times daily — up fromtwo — on his station KELS-FM104.7. He is unapologetic thatportions of the editorial that callKing a “plastic god,” a “sexualdegenerate,” and “an Americahatingcommunist” appear verbatimon a website with links toa white supremacist group.“Facts are facts, truth is truth,”he said, adding that he mightpre-empt other programing toair the editorial round the clock.The 40-year-old former carpenterclaims he helped build housesfor Habitat for Humanity in theMississippi Delta and once datedan African-American woman. Heinsists he’s not racist.The Mountain States Anti-Defamation League has askedReese to stop broadcastingthe editorial. The school boardpassed a resolution last weeksupporting the holiday and callingthe editorial “inflammatoryand detrimental to our districtand community.” The vote cameafter Reese walked out of themeeting.“Timed as they are, Mr. Reese’swords demean the existence ofthe Martin Luther King holidayand its honoring of not justReverend King but of his messagesof equal rights, peaceful demonstration,civility and respect,”the board said in its resolution.Mayor Tom Norton, a formerstate legislator, said Reese’s viewsdon’t represent Greeley, whichholds an annual MLK Day marchand celebration.“I find it difficult to figure outwhere he’s coming from,” Nortonsaid.Reese said some advertisershave departed the low-powerFM station, which he has ownedsince 2000, over the editorial.But he said he is financially ableto survive indefinitely withoutsponsors. He said he’s receiveddeath threats.He also said that he’s not tryingto become a lightning rod fordebate over the holiday, whichwas controversial in some statesat its inception.“That’s not what my push is. Ithink it’s important for people todiscuss any issue openly, freelyED ANDRIESKI/The Associated PressBrett Reese is at the controls Friday in the studio of his radio station inGreeley, Colo.and without being assassinatedor bankrupted,” says Reese.He’s an elected member of theGreeley-Evans School District 6board since 2009. The GreeleyTribune began writing aboutthe radio editorial earlier thismonth.Reese had aired the editorial,which he said was sent to thestation in an anonymous letter,in relative obscurity for the pastthree Januarys.Greeley, about 60 miles northof Denver, is nestled in the centerof mostly agricultural WeldCounty and has a large meatpackingplant, JBS Swift & Co.,which was hit in a 2006 federalraid targeting illegal immigrantworkers.“It’s a very conservative town,”said Ceta Mercadal, 21, a sociologyand Africana studies majorat the University of NorthernColorado, who grew up in NewOrleans and is African-American.“When I first got here, I felt like Iwas one of a kind.”Many of the claims in Reese’seditorial were spun out of FBIefforts in the 1960s to discreditKing, including charges of maritalinfidelities.“It’s hurtful and totally unnecessary,”said Sabrina Harms, 17,a senior at Greeley West HighSchool, one of four high schools inthe district. “Thank you for sharingthe information but I thinkthat Martin Luther King’s accomplishmentsstand as they are.”Reese said he began carrying a.45 caliber semi-automatic handgun,including to school boardmeetings, because of the deaththreats.But that stopped Thursdayafter a judge issued a restrainingorder over alleged threatshe made to a rival radio stationabout would-be advertisers.A court hearing is scheduledfor Jan. 21.NC town to host 1st KingDay tribute celebrationTHE ASSOCIATED PRESSGARNER, N.C. — A Wake County town is holding itsfirst tribute to slain civil rights leader Martin LutherKing on Sunday. The celebration comes just three yearsafter the mayor outraged black leaders by saying hedidn’t want any more southeast Raleigh students atGarner schools.The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that Garnerpastor David Forbes, who met King, will lead the celebration.He’ll talk about his own experience being arrestedfor ordering a Coke at a Raleigh Woolworth’s store.Forbes said the celebration shows the peace that hasbeen found in the small town in the period since MayorRonnie Williams angered black leaders with his commentsabout students from southeast Raleigh.Williams insisted his remarks had nothing to do withrace. He said his concerns were over busing in studentsfrom Raleigh who received free or reduced-pricedlunches.In 2008, Forbes called Williams’ statement the latestinsult from Garner directed toward black students. Thisweek, though, his tone had changed.“Martin Luther King cannot be denied as a patriotwhose work in civil rights has touched everyone.Certainly it has impacted Garner,” Forbes said, pointingout that he grew up in southeast Raleigh and now livesin Garner.Williams said there’s been no discussion of his earliercomments during planning for the Garner event.“That’s part of the past,” Williams said. “It’s not somethingwe’ve dwelled on.”The mayor said he had been mulling the idea forGarner’s King Day event for four years.“It’s sort of come full circle,” said David Prince, aGarner resident who is helping to organize King eventsthere and in Raleigh. “The mayor reached out. ... NowI’m beginning to know the mayor after working on theMLK committee in Garner.”NOTICE OF MEETINGDEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETINGThursday, January 27, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.City Commission Chambers, Old City Hall, 510 Greene StreetADA Assistance: If you are a person with a disability who needsspecial accommodations in order to participate in this proceeding,including requesting materials in accessible format, a sign languageinterpreter or other assistance (5 days advance notice required), orinformation on access available to individuals with disabilities, pleasecontact the ADA Coordinator at 305-809-3951 between the hours of8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. If you are hearing or voice impaired, pleasecall 305-809-1000.January17, 2011 Key West Citizen 328263NOTICE OF MEETINGThe District Board of Trustees of Florida Keys Community College will hold itsRegular Monthly Meeting at 2:00 P.M., on Monday, January 24, 2011, in KeyWest, 5901 College Rd., on the William A.

KENNEDYThe Associated PressBEIRUT — The first American ambassador toSyria since 2005 arrived in Damascus on Sundayat a time of regional turmoil and with Syrian-U.S. relations still mired in mutual distrust.Few expect immediate changes, but havingcareer diplomat Robert Ford in Damascus offersWashington a better glimpse into Syria at a timeof rising tensions — particularly in neighboringLebanon, where the Western-backed governmentcollapsed last week.“Intelligence sharing is the most promisingoverlap in U.S.-Syrian relations,” said JoshuaLandis, an American professor and Syriaexpert. He noted that like Washington, Syria’ssecular regime is against al-Qaida and “takfiri”Islamists, referring to an ideology that urgesSunni Muslims to kill anyone they consider aninfidel.President Barack Obama’s administrationhas argued that returning an ambassador toDamascus would help persuade Syria to changeits policies regarding Lebanon, Israel and Iraqand end its support for extremist groups.Syria is designated a “state sponsor of terrorism”by the State Department.Ford takes up his post just days after the governmentin Lebanon collapsed when Hezbollah,which gets key support from Syria and Iran,walked out of the Cabinet on Wednesday.The government fell after months of tensionsstemming from a U.N.-backed investigationinto the assassination of former Lebanese Primeface of mountingoppositionwithin FiannaFail to his leadership.Instead,Cowen announcedhe would Cowenask his party’slegislators to take a vote of confidencein him Tuesday. Cowensaid he was assured of winningthe secret-ballot vote andlead Fianna Fail to a seventhstraight election victory.Hours later Martin — oneof three Cabinet ministers whohave signaled their desire tosucceed Cowen — becamethe first to declare a challenge.Martin said he had tenderedhis resignation as foreign ministerbecause he no longer supportedCowen and would asklawmakers to back him insteadTuesday.Many lawmakers wantCowen to quit immediately inhopes that their party mightfare better with a new leader inplace for an election expectedto take place sometime thisspring. Cowen, who was financeminister before gaining the toppost in 2008, is closely associatedwith the property-pushingtax policies that have broughtIreland to financial ruin.Fianna Fail has governedIreland almost continuouslysince 1987, but has plummetedto historic lows in recent opinionpolls.Opposition leaders, meanwhile,still intend to pursue theirown no-confidence motionin parliament against Cowen— and pleaded for Fianna Failto declare an election date.Fianna Fail has sought to delaythat vote as long as possible.“The longer (the Irish government)stays in power, thegreater the damage that isbeing done to the economyand to our international reputation.This government shouldgo,” said Gerry Adams, leaderof the Irish nationalist SinnFein party.Cowen rose to power asIreland’s 13-year Celtic Tigereconomic boom was givingway to a property-marketimplosion and banking crisis.He has faced rising accusationsin recent weeks of making decisionsthat benefited corruptbankers far more than taxpayers,who have been burdenedwith a bank-rescue bill expectedto top $65 billion.1st US ambassador in 5 years arrives in SyriaBASSEM TELLAWI/The Associated PressThe U.S. embassy building is seen Wednesday inDamascus, Syria.Minister Rafik Hariri.

She had 10 double-faults and five aces.Nerves had a role in that.“I definitely felt that in the beginning.

4BTHE KEY WEST CITIZEN ◆ MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 2011SPORTS: National Football LeagueNFL backs state regulations for youth concussionsBY ERIC OLSONThe Associated PressOMAHA, Neb. — The NFL is helping craftlegislation in states around the country thatwould protect young athletes from the longtermeffects of concussions.Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha last week introduceda bill in Nebraska that aims to raisecoaches’ awareness of symptoms and preventathletes from returning to practice or competitiontoo soon.Prevention of head trauma has been a majorissue in the NFL the past year. The league hasimplemented new standards for the managementof concussions and has cracked down onhits to the head.“We felt a responsibility, with our platform, toadvocate for better treatment of kids, who havemore risk than adults do,” said Jeff Miller, NFLsenior vice president for government affairs.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control andPrevention estimates about 135,000 childrenages 5 to 18 are treated in emergency roomseach year for sports- or recreation-related concussionsand other head trauma. Symptomscan include headache, nausea, dizziness andtrouble concentrating, and may last about aweek. Sometimes it can take months to recover.Research indicates repeat concussions canlead to brain damage, depression and memoryproblems including Alzheimer’s disease. Youngathletes are believed to be more vulnerable thanadults to lasting damage because their brainsare still developing.The Nebraska bill, like others, would requirepublic and private high schools, as well as otheryouth sports organizations, to provide coacheswith training on how to recognize symptoms ofconcussions.Athletes and their parents or guardians wouldbe given information each year on the symptomsand risks associated with head trauma.The bill also would require a licensed healthcareprofessional to evaluate an athlete andprovide written clearance before the athlete isallowed to resume participation.The NFL worked with the Nebraska StateAthletic Trainers’ Association and the Brain InjuryAssociation of Nebraska to produce the bill.The template is the “Zackery Lystedt Law”passed in Washington in May 2009. Lystedtmust use a wheelchair after sustaining a catastrophicbrain injury in a middle-school footballgame in 2006.Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, NewMexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island andVirginia also have adopted concussion legislationgoverning youth concussions in recentyears.“We have made a commitment to assist in thepassage of 10 more similar bills in the next yearand continue our advocacy around the countryuntil every state has a concussion law,” Millersaid.The laws do not mandate punishment for failureto follow the guidelines. Miller said a coachwould be open to a civil lawsuit if an athleteunder his or her watch were injured becausethe injured athlete was allowed to participatetoo soon.Rusty McKune, president of the state athletictrainers’ association, said the intent of the bill is tocreate awareness, not punish. He said he doubts acoach would intentionally hurt an athlete.“We’re hoping that by providing people withall the up-to-date facts out there on concussionsthat they’ll be able to make the rightchoice rather than doing it out of fear of repercussions,”McKune said.RITE OF WINTERSteelers get to host AFC title gameBY DAVID GINSBURGThe Associated PressPITTSBURGH — The PittsburghSteelers know better than to makevacation plans for the latter part ofJanuary, because they fully expect tobe playing football through the end ofthe month.With their 31-24 comeback victoryover Baltimore on Saturday, theSteelers earned a 15th trip to the AFCtitle game. Given what Pittsburgh hadto overcome this season, this appearancewill be moresatisfying thanmost.“We don’t takethis for granted,”coach MikeTomlin said. “Weare extremelyhumbled andhonored to moveon to the AFCchampionshipgame, and to berecognized as thetrue champions of the AFC North. Werespect the heck out of the Ravens.”The Steelers beat the heck out ofthe Ravens, too. After trailing 21-7 athalftime, Pittsburgh scored 17 straightpoints, then mounted a classic driveat the finish to move within a victoryof a return trip to the Super Bowl.The Steelers will face the Jets, whotopped New England 28-21, in the AFCchampionship game next Sunday night.Although the Ravens committedthree turnovers in the third quarter,the Steelers (13-4) deserve credit forforcing those miscues and scoring 24points in the second half — matchingthe total Baltimore had yielded in itsprevious three games.Ben Roethlisberger threw for twotouchdowns and orchestrated a 65-yard drive in the closing minutes thatincluded a 58-yard pass to rookieAntonio Brown on third-and-19. Thatset up a 2-yard touchdown run byRashard Mendenhall with 1:33 left forthe winning points.Soon thereafter, the Steelers and adelirious crowd at Heinz Field begangearing up for their fourth appearancein the AFC title game over thelast seven years.“That’s great.To be down likethat and comeout at halftime,I know a lot ofpeople probablywere counting usout,” linebackerLaMarr Woodleysaid. “We cameback and wefought. Thatshows what kindof team we are. When the offense isdown, the defense is going to pickthem up. And when the defense isdown, the offense is going to pick up.That’s the thing about being teammates.”For the first 30 minutes, both unitscould share the blame for the 14-pointdeficit. The defense gave up a 68-yarddrive and permitted two third-downconversions during another touchdownmarch, and the offense committedtwo turnovers, including afumble by Roethlisberger that Ravensdefensive end Cory Redding turnedinto a score.“We are extremely humbledand honored to move onto the AFC championshipgame, and to be recognizedas the true champions ofthe AFC North. We respectthe heck out of the Ravens.”Mike TomlinSteelers coachMATT SLOCUM/The Associated PressSteelers wide receiver Antonio Brown beats Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb on a long pass during the second half thier divisionalfootball game on Saturday in Pittsburgh. The play set up Rashard Mendenhall’s touchdown to give the Steelers the 31-24 win.“It wasn’t our best day today,” saidwide receiver Hines Ward, who scoreda touchdown. “But anytime we haveBen on the field, he is a winner. Hemay not be (Tom) Brady or all theother guys, but you can’t knock theguy for what he has done. Historyshows he is a proven winner againstBaltimore. He is a proven winner inthe playoffs.”Roethlisberger has won his lastseven starts against the Ravens since2006. He began the season serving afour-game suspension and expectsto finish it hoisting high the VinceLombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl.To get there, he will have to beat ateam that defeated Pittsburgh earlier.The New York Jets edged the Steelers22-17 in December.On Saturday night, Roethlisbergerdidn’t care to think about a rematch.“You like to play teams that you loseto. Right now that is not on my mind,”he said. “I’m going to enjoy this winand see what happens.”Roethlisberger knows all aboutplaying in the AFC championshipgame and Super Bowl, but there areothers on this team preparing for theirfirst such foray this deep into thepostseason.Safety Ryan Clark said: “What’sfunny is coach Tomlin, at the beginningof the playoffs, put names on theboard of all the guys who were playingbig roles for us right now who weren’there for the last Super Bowl run:Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders,Rashard Mendenhall, Ziggy Hood.“He said what guys like James Farriorand Troy Polamalu would do. But thedifference was going to be what thoseyoung guys do,” Clark said. “You lookat the contributions made by Ziggy(four tackles and a sack), the big catchmade by Antonio. Those guys reallycame through for us, and, at this time,that’s what you need. We know thatRay Lewis and Ed Reed are going to dotheir thing for Baltimore. But what aretheir young guys going to do? I believewe won that battle.”And now the Steelers are poised foranother trip to the AFC championship.“It starts with the top. It starts withthe Rooneys — awesome people,awesome family, awesome owners,”Roethlisberger said. “I think all theplayers really respect the coaches,from the head guy all the way downto our position guy. We are a family,we have since I’ve been here andwe’ll fight and do anything for eachother.”JetsContinued from page 1Bits fierce rival 14-3 at halftime before Brady’s2-yard touchdown pass to Alge Crumpler andSammy Morris’ run for a 2-point conversionmade it 14-11 late in the third quarter. ButSanchez came right back with a 7-yard scoringpass to Santonio Holmes and New Yorkfinished the upset with Shonn Greene’s 16-yardtouchdown run.The Jets (13-5) kept Ryan’s prediction of aSuper Bowl appearance alive. The Patriots(14-3) lost their third straight postseasongame.“Maybe everybody else never believed, butwe believed,” Ryan said. “We’re moving on.Same old Jets, back to the AFC championship.The only difference is this time we plan onwinning.”They lost last season to Indianapolis 30-17,but now have another chance for their firstSuper Bowl berth since 1969 when anotherloudmouth, “Broadway Joe” Namath, backedup his guarantee with a 16-9 win over theBaltimore Colts.Ryan has said many times that the Jets area Super Bowl-caliber team, and has irritatedfans, opposing players and media with hisbold remarks. Last week he said the game wasa contest between him and Patriots coach BillBelichick. Then, after Antonio Cromartie calledBrady an expletive on Tuesday, Ryan said hewouldn’t punish his cornerback.The ultra-serious Belichick wasn’t as kind toWes Welker.The wide receiver was benched for thePatriots first series for subtle remarksapparently directed at Ryan. Welker madeseveral references to feet in his news conferenceThursday, interpreted by some asa dig at recent foot-fetish reports involvingRyan.When the game ended, Belichick walkedslowly to midfield where he met Ryan, pattedhis conqueror on the back with his left handand shared some words.“We just didn’t do enough things well today,”Belichick said. “It’s obvious.”Sanchez completed 16 of 25 passes for 194yards and touchdowns to LaDainian Tomlinson,Braylon Edwards and Holmes. Brady, whoplayed poorly for his second straight postseasongame, was 29-for-45 for 299 yards, twotouchdowns and one interception.“I don’t even know what to say right now,”Tomlinson said. “What an unbelievable win forour team.”After Greene scored the Jets last touchdown,he put the ball on the ground like a pillow andrested his head on it. A quiet climax to a loudweek.Now Sanchez gets a chance to beat one of theNFL’s best quarterbacks for the third straightweek when he faces Ben Roethslisberger afterknocking off Peyton Manning, who won theNFL’s last two MVP awards and Brady, who is afavorite to win his second in four years.“He’s just now getting better and better andbetter,” Ryan said.The Steelers have been installed as 3-pointfavorites.In one of their worst halves of the season,the Patriots looked more like the ragged groupthat went 5-11 in Belichick’s first season in2000 than the steamrolling machine that ledthe NFL this season with a 14-2 record and 32.4points per game.In the first two quarters, Brady absorbedthree sacks and was sent scrambling at leastthat many times. He misfired on an interceptionon his first series after finishing the seasonwith a league-record streak of 335 passes withouta pick.Then on the Patriots fifth possession, trailingjust 7-3, they botched a fake punt attempt.Patrick Chung took the short snap and fumbled.He got the ball back but all escape routesclosed quickly. He was tackled at the Patriots 37with 1:06 remaining.Plenty of time for Sanchez.BearsContinued from page 1Bthe NFC, Chicago harassedMatt Hasselbeck and heldSeattle to 276 yards Sunday.The 35-24 win in the divisionalround avenged an earlier lossto the Seahawks at home, and itwas a blowout from the openingminutes.Jay Cutler threw for twotouchdowns and ran for twomore in his first playoff appearance,but he had plenty of helpfrom the guys on the otherside.The Bears got seven tacklesfrom Urlacher, six from LanceBriggs and two sacks fromTommie Harris.It was a big contrast from thefirst meeting in October, whenSeattle racked up 353 yardswithout a turnover in a 23-20victory over the Bears.“We just played our game,”Peppers said. “We executed.And really that’s it. We executedtoday better than we did in theprevious meeting. Everybodywas sound. We had Lance back,which was a big help. For themost part, everybody was takingcare of their own jobs.”This was what Chicago hadin mind when it signed Peppersin the offseason. He’s paid offin a big way, and it helped, too,that Urlacher was healthy aftermissing most of last seasonwith a wrist injury.A defense that had struggledat times in recent years rankedamong the stingiest all season,and the Bears didn’t give upmuch when it counted Sunday.“Coaches kept staying on us,”Urlacher said. “We got somegood players. We got somegood trades, good free agents.Now, we’re back and we’re playingtogether. Hopefully, we’repeaking at the right time.”The Bears kept Hasselbeck offbalance for most of the gameafter he threw for four touchdownslast week in the stunningwin over defending championNew Orleans, and they shutdown the run. Chicago’s defenseagain looked more like thedominant unit that led the wayto that 2006 Super Bowl, rightfrom the start when it forcedSeattle to go three-and-out onthe game’s first drive.There were no highlight reelinterceptions, no bone-crushinghits.The Bears were plenty goodenough. They were quick tothe ball, tackled well and didn’tgive up big plays.That’s how they were in 2005and 2006, when they won backto-backNFC North championships.They didn’t rely on bighits then, either.They were more about speed,finesse and stripping the ball.They still are, but getting backto this level was a long, difficultprocess.Coach Lovie Smith askedfans to trust him when he letRon Rivera go after the SuperBowl season and replaced himwith linebackers coach BobBabich. That rubbed many thewrong way.Smith wound up assumingthe play-calling duties fromBabich last season before promotingRod Marinelli to defensivecoordinator last February.Beside the coaching shuffle,injuries continued to robHarris of his Pro Bowl abilities.Urlacher was limited by neckand back problems in recentyears, and that was before heinjured his wrist in the openerat Green Bay last year, settingthe tone for a 7-9 season andthird straight playoff miss.That left many calling forSmith and general managerJerry Angelo to be fired. Instead,they got another chance andmade some big moves — nonebigger than signing Peppers.The Bears lured him with asix-year deal potentially worth$91.5 million, hoping he wouldprovide a spark up front for adefense that ranked 17th overalllast season. This year, thedefense ranked ninth, and thePro Bowl defensive end was abig reason why, drawing attentionand giving teammates achance to make plays.But he had help fromUrlacher. From Briggs, too. Andon Sunday, it was more of thesame for the defense.“We stopped the run early,the whole game, actually,”Urlacher said. “The whole gamewe played good. We got off thefield on third down. We gotpressure on the quarterback.We didn’t get any takeaways,but did exactly what we wantedto do the whole game until thelast couple drives there.”

Whichyou choose is critical in thisdeal. How would you playin five diamonds after Westleads the club two?In the auction, you correctlyrebid two diamonds,repeating your excellent suitrather than introducing thoseweak clubs. Since North’stwo-spade rebid would havebeen natural and game-forcing,his three spades was asplinter showing a good diamondfit, the values for atleast game, and a singleton(or void) in spades. You temporizedwith four diamonds,and North settled for game.You have one heart loser, socan afford one club loser butnot two. Should you take theclub finesse immediately?If the finesse wins, youare home with an overtrick.You can draw trumps, driveout the heart ace, and discardyour last two clubs on thoseestablished heart winners.However, what happens if thefinesse loses? Presumably aclub will come back and youmight lose two clubs and oneheart.Suppose you play dummy’slow club at trick one -- whathappens then?Yes, East wins the trickwith his 10, but he cannotprofitably return a club intothe ace-queen. He will shiftto a spade. Win with your ace,draw trumps, and dislodgethe heart ace. You will takeone spade, two hearts, sixdiamonds, one club and onespade ruff in the dummy.In this deal, it pays to wait.KEYSWIDE CLASSIFIEDS ®000ANNOUNCEMENTS010....................................Public Notices020............................Volunteers Wanted030...............................................Travel040.........................................Personals050....................................Lost & Found060..........................................Pets Found100SERVICES110..............................Child/Adult Care112...................................Money To Lend120............................Private Instruction130................................Mortgage Broker200EMPLOYMENT210........................................Jobs Wanted220...............Help Wanted Lower KeysThe Keys’ #1 Internet marketing company islooking for a full-time Account Manager.If you want to pursue a career in Internetmarketing and meet the followingqualifications, you’ll want to be a part ofthis rapidly growing company:• Proficiency with Microsoft Office• Must be able to work easily with alltypes of people• Must be organized, a good listener, andwork well under pressure• Must have good communication andtime management skills• Great benefits including healthinsurance, paid vacation and 401kopportunitiesImmediate opening, so e-mail your resumeto:jobs@floridakeys.com orfax to 305-294-1699FloridaKeys.com is owned and operated byCooke Communications, LLC230..............Help Wanted Middle Keys240.................Help Wanted Upper Keys300MERCHANDISE305......................................................Pets310..................................Sporting Goods315...............................................Bicycles320..............................Household Goods321...........................................Furniture325...................................Miscellaneous327...............................................Jewelry329.....................................Yard Sale Map330.......................Yard Sales Lower Keys331.....................Yard Sales Middle Keys332.......................Yard Sales Upper Keys335...........................................Antiques337....................................................Art338...............................................Fine Art340.........................Musical Instruments345.........................................Appliances350...............................Office Equipment351.........................................Electronics355....................................Wanted to Buy328457EOEYOUR GUARANTEE…KEYSWIDE GUARANTEED CLASSIFIEDSFree RerunsOn Guaranteed Seller AdsIF YOUR ITEM DOESN’T SELL AFTER A WEEK,LOWER YOUR PRICE OF THE ITEM BY 5%AND THE CITIZEN WILL RERUN YOUR ADANOTHER WEEK - AT NO CHARGE!*AND WE WILL DO THIS WEEK AFTER WEEKUNTIL YOUR ITEM IS SOLD FOR UP TO 1 MONTH!*All guaranteed seller ads must be pre-paid.GUARANTEED!This guarantee is for private individuals selling personalhousehold goods and ads containing items with oneprice.

After that, I went througha deep depression that took years torecover from. I have been divorced for13 years and am happy beingunencumbered. I choose to livealone.I enjoy companionship andam seeing not one, but two, men.They both want a commitment,and I do not. One knows aboutthe other; the other doesn’t. Theyknow I have had relationships inthe past.I have already had family,kids and grandkids. I see noreason to marry again or have aserious commitment to anyone. Whatis your advice? -- CONTENT IN IOWADEAR CONTENT: My advice is tolet the gentleman who doesn’t knowyou are seeing someone else in on thesecret. Other than that, because youare happy with the status quo, I have noother advice to offer.DEAR ABBY: Before my motherdied a year ago, she told me a secret.She said my middle-aged brother“Donnie” was conceived with a spermdonation rather than my father (alsodeceased), whose sperm count waslow. My brother doesn’t know this, andMom didn’t tell him before she died.Donnie has had numerousemotionalproblemsandhasunresolvedissues with our parents. Do you think it’simportant that he know of his “origin,”or is this a secret I should take with meto the grave? I don’t want to hurt himwith this information, only to help himresolve some of his negative feelingstoward our parents. I hate keepingfamily secrets, but I will remain silentif telling him would do more harmthan good. -- HALF-SISTER IN NEWJERSEYDEAR HALF-SISTER: Your halfbrothershould be told the truth. It maybe difficult for him to hear, but on theThere’s always somethin’ cookin’ in the Keys!Look for the “What’s Cookin’?” Restaurant Guide in theKey West Citizen for Menu Specials, Brunch, Breakfast,other hand, it could explain some of theunspoken family dynamics that mayhave led to his unresolved issues withyour parents. It might also help himunderstand why he felt “different,” ormay have felt he was treated differentlythan you were.DEAR ABBY: I have agrandchild whose parents arestrict, which I don’t mind, butwhen Mom loses her cool, shestarts name-calling. She’ll saythings like, “You’re a brat!” etc.in front of whomever, whereverwe happen to be. It goes againstmy grain to call anyone names.Should I talk to the parentsabout this or stay out of theirbusiness? I don’t interfere with the wayany of my children raise their kids, butI’m very concerned over this. What doI do or say? Should I speak up, or holdmy peace? I hurt for the grandkidswhen this happens. It isn’t good fortheir self-esteem. -- UNSURE IN REDWING, MINN.DEAR UNSURE: I know very fewperfect parents, but if your familymember does this on a regular basis,you should say something. Theproblem with labeling a child is thatif an adult does it often enough, thechild can grow up thinking the labelis accurate. A better way to handlethe situation would be for Mom to sayfirmly: “Stop that! When you do thatit makes me angry, and if it happensagain, you’ll: (1) get a time out; (2) we’regoing outside until you can behave; or(3) I won’t bring you here again!”DEAR READERS: Today weremember the Rev. Martin Luther KingJr., who in 1968 was martyred in thecause of civil rights. He was an eloquentman who preached that “love is theonly force capable of transforming anenemy into a friend.” His was a voiceof reason in a time of insanity, silencedtoo soon. -- ABBYDinner, Tapas, Bar Food...
