No one in the vehicle was wearing a seat belt, according to officials. FHP reports: 14-year-old boy was driving By TONY BRITT email@example.com A vehicle driven by 14-year- old Lake City boy rolled over and struck an oak tree, killing two of the vehicle's four passengers, including a 10-year-old boy Sunday afternoon. The driver and the vehi- cle's surviving passenger were criti- cally injured in the wreck, reports said. Julian Little, 14, the car's listed driver and Joseph Grant,- 6, were taken to a Gainesville hospital. Jennifer Ann Grant, 26, and Ronnie Bias, 10, both of Lake City, died as a result of injuries they suffered in the wreck. The wreck occurred 6:35 p.m. Sunday on Southwest Haltiwanger Road, about one mile south of County Road 349. According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, Little was driving a 1994 Mustang with Jennifer Ann Grant, Joseph Grant and Bias as 'I don't have an answer. It will defi- nitely be a question we hope to get an answer for in our investigation.' Lt. Patrick Riordan FHP Troop B public affairs officer when asked why the boy was driving. his passengers, heading south on Southwest Haltiwanger Road. Little reportedly lost control of the car and it traveled onto the road- way's east shoulder striking a dirt embankment with its left front. The car continued heading southbound on the roadway's shoulder and struck a small tree, which resulted in the car making a clockwise spin. The car then began to roll over side-to-side as it spun clockwise and then struck a large oak tree with its roof. Jennifer Ann Grani and Bias died from their injuries while Little .and Joseph Grant were taken to Shands at the University of Florida for treat- ment. Authorities are attempting to deter- mine why the 14-year-old was driving the vehicle. "I don't have an answer," said Lt. Patrick Riordan, FHP Troop B public affairs officer. "It will definitely be a question we hope to get an answer for in our investigation." Riordan said, authorities have not yet determined the cause of the wreck. "We do know that at some point for unknown reasons the vehicle trav- eled onto the east shoulder," he said. "Control was lost and subsequent to losing control it hit the dirt embank- ment and a small tree. It began to roll and came to rest against a large oak tree with its roof." Riordan said, noting he was uncer- tain how long investigators were at CRASH continued on 3A Skunkie Acres no longer a refuge Closes door to cats and dogs, blames 'harassment.' By LEANNE TYO Ityo@lakecityreporter. corn Cats and dogs can no lon- ger find refuge at Skunkie Acres in White Springs, the farm's manager said Monday. According to a Skunkie Acres news release, the nonprofit no-kill animal shelter will stop rescuing dogs and cats because of "harassment." "It's because of harass- ment," said Bernard Haake, organization man- ager whose wife, Barbara, and daughter, Megan, own the establishment. "It really is a terrible issue and the whole family is in counsel- ing because of all the stress JASON MATTHEW WALKER/Lake City Reporter Bernard Haake (center), owner of Skunkie Acres, reacts to complaints made by neighbors about the business in a meet- ing held at Springville Community Center on Thursday. that's been going on. It's just too much." The Columbia County Board of County Commissioners organized a meeting Jan. 13 at the Springville Community Center for residents to express their concerns regarding Skunkie Acres to the county and various environmental agencies. At the meeting, residents complained of the farm's smell, barking dogs, loose animals and loud music. Sheriff Mark Hunter also said at the meeting that since 2007, the Columbia County Sheriff's Office had received almost 80 calls and had 15 incident reports filed concerning Skunkie Acres. Haake said the "harass- ment" his family has expe- rienced is the complaints that have been made. Discontinuing the cat and dog rescue will ease those complaints, he said. "It will take pressure off of us because they can no longer say the dogs are barking and no longer say the loose dogs are ours," Haake said. Of the complaints made, ACRES continued on 3A King's memory recalled with service, speeches Parade rained out but crowds gather to honor a legend.

Rubio visits Afghanistan TALLAHASSEE U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said Monday during a trip to Afghanistan that success in American efforts to sta- bilize the region shouldn't be measured in troop with- drawals. Rubio praised efforts to establish structured government in many areas and said progress is being made in training Afghan security and police forces, though he said there is still a long way to go. "What we heard repeat- edly, that it is important that the United States is committed to seeing it through, otherwise the Taliban and al-Qaida are just waiting for us to leave and come in," he said. Rubio was with a group of Republican senators that included Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. The group also visited Pakistan. Rubio left for the region just a week after being sworn in. The delegation met with Army Gen. David Petraeus, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir of Pakistan, and Pakistani Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. NATO sent 30,000 additional troops, mostly American, to Afghanistan last year to focus on fight- ing back the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. Rubio said the effort is clearly working, with Taliban's momentum being thrown into reverse. The U.S. now plans to begin withdrawing troops this summer, but there is concern that recent prog- ASSOCIATED PRESS Vice President Joe Biden administers a ceremonial Senate oath during a mock swearing-in ceremony to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. (left), accompanied by his wife, Jeanette, Jan. 5. ress could be lost. There is hesitancy among people to partici- pate in government opera- tions because they don't want to be punished if the United States leaves and the Taliban returns, Rubio said. 'They want to know that we're committed and we have to show that we're .committed," Rubio said. NATO has set a goal of having Afghan forces assuming full responsibil- ity for security by 2014. Accused war criminal deported ST. PETERSBURG - A St. Petersburg man accused of committing war crimes in Bosnia has been deported. Officials said Branko Popic was put on a com- mercial flight to Sarajevo over the weekend, after a U.S. immigration judge ordered his removal. The judge concluded that the 62-year-old was a mem- ber of a military brigade responsible for the mas- sacre of more than 8,000 Muslim civilians in the town of Srebrenica in July 1995. Popic was among a group of nine people sus- pected of being involved in the massacre who were tried in Tampa federal court. After two hung juries, prosecutors dropped the charges against Popic. 12-year-old drives SUV into canal LOXAHATCHEE - Authorities said a 12-year- old boy drove his family into a South Florida canal during a driving lesson. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said the boy's father let his son take the driver's seat Sunday in the fami- ly's SUV. The boy's moth- er, 1-year-old sister and 6-year-old brother were in the back seat. The sheriff's office said the boy then acci- dentally put the vehicle in gear and accelerated. The SUV plunged into a Loxahatchee canal and flipped over. The sheriff's office said the boy's mother, sister and brother were hospitalized in critical condition Sunday. The father suffered minor injuries and the boy was unhurt. All were wearing seat belts. THE WEATHER CHANCE MOSTLY' ISO. CHANCE PARTLY .

"The first call that we received was at 6:40 p.m." Riordan was uncertain if the roadway was blocked because of the wreck. "The most dramatic events occurred on the road's shoulder, so I don't know if the road was blocked or not," he said. Jennifer Grant's body was sent to the medical examin- er's office in Jacksonville. '"That's pretty much stan- dard," Riordan said. "If we have someone that dies on the scene, the medical examiners office is gener- ally the next stop for an autopsy. The autopsy is part of our homicide inves- tigation report. It deter- mines the cause of death and that's part of our inves- tigation." Reports said none of the car's occupants were wear- ing seat belts or restraints at the time of the wreck. "Seat belts don't guar- antee survivability, but we do know they increase the chances of surviving and they lesson the injuries," Riordan said. Charges in connection with the wreck are pend- ing completion of an FHP investigation.

There are several things needed in order for the community to get where it needs to be, including return to Jesus, get fathers back home and in the church and remem- ber the name of the game is not mediocrity but excellence, he said. "It seems so many of us are. sat- isfied with just getting by," Simon said. Parents should strive for excel- lence in themselves as well as their children, he said.

Associated Press MIAMI Authorities said an empty holder for detonators used in con- struction or oil drilling prompted a bomb squad inspection of an American Airlines plane that arrived Monday at Miami International Airport from Brazil. A Miami-Dade Police bomb squad was dis- patched to the plane after baggage handlers found a suspicious item in the cargo hold of Flight 930 from Sao Paolol. Authorities said the hold- er was discovered rattling around inside a container during an inspection of the plane's cargo shipments. All of the flight's 169 passengers had already deplaned. "They found what appeared to be detona- .tor devices, but it turned out to be empty contain- ers that are made to hold detonators. There were no explosives inside them," said police spokeswoman Det. Edna Hernandez. American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith called the detonator hold- er "nothing threatening." He said the item could be used in construction or oil drilling. "It was doing routine pro- cess that they opened it up and said 'this doesn't look right.' This one was not packed like they usually are," Smith said, adding that the airlines would review how and why the item was shipped from Brazil. The flight arrived around 8:30 a.m. Monday.

Risak,-754-0427 ^\ OPINION Tuesday, January 18, 201 I www.lakecityreporter.com 0 OP THEIR INION Obama struck right note in Tucson President Obama said what needed to be said last week at a service for the slain and injured of the Tucson, Ariz., shooting ram- page. Because the victims included a congresswoman, now fighting for her life, and a federal judge, who lost his, it was impossible for many to view this sense- less crime outside of a political context Because our political culture is polarized, many were tempted to make the logical leap of blaming that polarization for this tragedy. As soon as the first reports of the shooting started to circulate, people were already offering theories of how this fit in some larger context of recent, hard- fought political campaigns. Unlike the 9/11 terrorist attacks or the Oklahoma City bomb- ing, which temporarily halted political divisiveness, the Tucson shootings inflamed them.' . Obama asked us all to step back. A lack of civility in politics is bad because it prevents us from working together to solve common problems, he said. But no one knows what drove an apparently disturbed young man to violence. And the finger-point- ing that followed the killings just further divides Americans. "At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized - at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the'feet of those who think differently than we do it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds." We've all heard politicians decry partisanship before, but they almost always define it as something that the other party is doing. Its rare to hear a message that could be equally applied to either side of the political divide. Not every news story should be seen as a potential wedge issue. 0 Portland (Neb.)

It's modeled after a highly successful similar campaign conducted in Atlanta earlier this year by Georgia Right to Life and the Radiance Foundation. According to just released data from the Guttmacher Institute, 1.21 million abortions were performed in the United States in 2008. Some 30 percent of these abortions were per- formed on black women. With blacks accounting for about 12 percent of the U.S. population, the tragic disproportionate rate of abortion in this community is clear. ' Seventy billboards will be posted around Los Angeles, with focus on neighborhoods with high percentage black pop- ulation. The billboards show the face of a beautiful black child with a headline that says: "Black Children are an Endangered Species." I The campaign is timed to coincide with March for Life, which notes the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v Wade deci- sion legalizing abortion, and with black history month in February. Abortion, of course, is a plague on the whole nation. But, as with all problems, the most vulnerable communities get hit the hardest. A widely held assumption in our national discourse today is that there is "economic issues" and "social issues" that are sepa- rate, unrelated concerns. The LETTER Star Parker firstname.lastname@example.com fact that many actually believe that our nation's economic vital- ity has nothing to do with the condition of the American family or our general attitudes toward life and personal responsibility is a symptom of rather than an answer to our problems. Realities in black America speak to this issue. The 25 percent of this population in which poverty is entrenched and passed on from generation to generation is the portion of the population in which traditional family struc- ture has been most broken and lost. Study after study, for instance, shows that the biggest factor in earning power is education and the biggest factor in educational success is family background and the values prevailing in the home of the child. A'Rand study concluded that $500 billion would be added annually to our GDP if test scores of black and Latino chil- dren reached national averages. Anyone that has overcome a personal background of a broken and dysfunctional fam- ily can testify to how important family is in a child's life. Often those who dismiss its central importance take for granted the values transmitted to them from their families and arrogantly take complete personal credit for their success. Personal responsibility is cen- tral to a functioning free society. The Roe v Wade decision legal- izing abortion, enshrining sex for amusement and the illusion of sex without consequences, was a frontal assault on our cul- ture of personal responsibility. In 1969, three years before Roe v Wade, 68 percent of Americans said premarital sex is wrong. Today 32 percent say it is wrong. Removing marriage as the framework for sex and children has produced results that don't surprise. There have been 50 million abortions since 1973. And we've gone from 10 per- cent of American babies born to unwed mothers in 1970 to 40 percent today. A black child has a 50-percent chance of being aborted and, if born, a 70-percent chance of liv- ing in a single parent home. Planned Parenthood, who provides a third of our nation's abortions, gets $300 million annually from the federal gov- ernment that they use to set up in black neighborhoods to per- petuate this dismal reality. The Issues4Life Foundation and the Radiance foundation are fighting back. The idea is that the beginning of solving any problem is building awareness. The goal for the billboard campaign is to plant seeds in the minds of blacks and all Americans that the future for all of us can only be in a culture of life, family, and personal respon- sibility.

TO THE -EDITOR An urgent call to the black church One evening I stood on a'corner and watched a lot of young black males sell drugs while a caravan of cars pulled up to the same house as if they were plac- ing orders at a fast food pickup, window. Directly across the street, I saw a black church. The mem- bers were in the parking lot greeting one another before they attended service. No one bothered to even look across the street. I don't think Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have turned his head to the negative activity in his backyard were he alive today. He probably would have walked across the street and talked to the black males and found out what kind of level they were on before try- ing to raise their conscience. I wouldn't have been surprised either if many of them stopped their activities to at least hear what he had to say. At the turn of the century, sec- ular organizations The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), The Garvey Movement, and the Nation of Islam became promi- nent proponents for the black cause. The black church was referred to as do-nothing institu- tion because its influence had waned. The civil rights movement sparked a resurgence in the black church. The movement was led by Dr. King, who trans- formed it from a passive institu- tion to an instrument for social change. Dr. King preached and argued that religion has a social as well as a spiritual mission, and that it should be concerned with the whole person and not just the soul. During the Jim Crow era the black church became the most important economic institu- tion in the black community. It had to steel itself against the economic woes brought on by the Jim Crow laws. As a result, insurance companies, mutual associations, banks, and educa- tional institutions were created. When the Civil War ended, the black church immediately stepped forth to construct edu- cational institutions for the black community. The same impetus is needed now more than ever if the black church is to become a great institution producing programs and solutions for our ravished and impoverished communities. Long before the government implemented social and welfare programs the black church was serving as a social institu- tion, a social clearing house for the betterment of its people. It might benefit the black community to delve into the civil rights era and understand better the role the black church played socially in our communities. We could probably create more solu- tions to combat the social ills that fluctuate daily in our com- munities. After all, Dr. King's dream wasn't only about civil rights or race; it was also tar- geted at the chaos in the black community. Bruce A. Davis Gainesville Dale McFeatters firstname.lastname@example.com 2010 ties warmest year on record It seems counterin- tuitive considering the Northeast and Europe are being hammered by snow and the South by ice, but the U.S. government says the world has indeed been getting warmer. The latest data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says 2010 tied 2005 for being the hottest year on record, 1:12 degrees above the 20th century average of 57 degrees. 2010 was also the wettest year on record, according to records going back to 1880. The contiguous United States had it a little better than some parts of the world. For us, 2010 was our fourth hottest summer and 23rd hot- test year. But globally the pattern for the start of the 21st century is clear: nine of the 10 warmest years have occurred since 2000. The exception was 1998, which went into the books as the third hottest year after 2005 and 2010. Global temperatures have now been above the 20th century average for 34 straight years. NOAA's temperature graph shows temperatures well below the 20th century global average from 1880 until the end of the 1930s when the average annual temperature began fluctuating between slightly above and slightly below the 57-degree benchmark. But since 1980 the trend has been incrementally, if unevenly, upward. Most climatologists-attribute the gradual warming to the buildup of heat-trapping green- house gases in the atmosphere although there are some scien- tists who say the change is part of a long-term cyclical variation. NOAA cast a wide net in gathering the data. It came from weather stations, ships and ocean buoys. In all, more than 200 coun- tries contributed to the findings. There may be disagreement about how fast and what is caus- ing it, but there. seems little disagreement that the Earth is getting Warmer.

Obama's plan to overhaul education faces big hurdles By ERICA WERNER Associated Press WASHINGTON-- Signs -of trouble are arising for President Barack Obama's plan to put education over- haul at the forefront of his agenda as he adjusts to the new reality of a divided government. Giving students and teachers more flexibility is an idea with bipartisan sup- port Yet the debate about the overdue renewal of the nation's chief education law, known as No Child Left Behind, is complicated by political pressures from the coming 2012 presiden- tial campaign and disputes over timing, money and scope of the update. While education might offer the best chance for the White House to work with newly empowered Republicans, any con- sensus could fade in the pitiless political crosscur- rents, leaving the debate for another day, perhaps even another presidency. If so, parents, teachers and students would labor under a burdensome set of testing guidelines and other rules that many say are lowering standards. It's that scenario that the president and his adminis- tration intend to invoke as a way to rally public sup- port and spur lawmakers and interest groups into action against long odds. "No one I'm talking to is defending the status quo," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in an inter- view. "Everyone I talk to really shares my sense of urgency that we have to do better for our children. We're fighting for our country here." Duncan said Obama's State 'f the Union address on Jan. 25 will reflect his commitment to education. Obama ias spoken about the effect on the U.S. economy and com- petitiveness from lag- ging student test scores. Lawmakers and advocates will watch to see whether he keeps the issue in the spotlight in- the months ahead. "I don't think there's any substitute but for him to be out front," said Rep. George Miller of California, the top Democrat on the House Education and Workforce Committee. Some Republicans, wary of another giant bill like health care, would prefer a series of small measures to the broad rewrite of No Child Left Behind favored by the administration. Democrats ,and many outside advocates say Congress must enact an overhaul this year, before the 2012 campaign. For some in the GOP, getting it right is more important than getting it fast, and they refuse to spend any new money to do it. "There's room to make cuts, and I think pretty substantial cuts, that would enable us to use some of those savings on things we think work," said Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California conservative who's the new chairman of a House Education and Workforce subcommit- tee. "I like the piecemeal approach. ...

The nation's top education official on Friday joined a chorus of criticism target- ing a decision last year by North Carolina's largest school district to end its busing for diversity pro- gram. "America's strength has always been a func- tion of its diversity, so it is troubling to see North Carolina's Wake County school board take steps to reverse a long-stand- ing policy to promote racial diversity in its schools," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan wrote in a letter to The Washington Post that was also provided to The Associated Press. The federal education agency's Office for Civil Rights is investigating the board's decision, fol- , lowing a complaint filed with the department last year by the state chapter of the NAACP and other groups. They allege that ending a policy in which some of the district's 140,000 or so students were bused to achieve socio-econom- ic balance in the school district amounts to a roll- back of civil rights-era changes that integrated the schools. Duncan's three-para- graph letter didn't neces- sarily endorse that posi- tion, but it did urge other school boards to think twice before using Wake County's new policy as a model. "I respectfully urge school boards across America to fully consider the consequences before taking such action," Duncan wrote. "This is no time to go backward." John Tedesco, one of the Wake County board members who voted to end the policy in favor of allowing students to attend schools as close as possible to their homes, said he was disappointed by Duncan's letter. ,. r. - .

Associated Press The last time Thad Matta's -Ohio State . Buckeyes topped The Associated Press Top 25, they reached the national championship game. Could the same karma take place in 2010-11? "It did happen that way before and it would be great for it to hap- pen again," Matta said Monday, hours after the Buckeyes replaced Duke at No. 1. "I'd trade it right now for better defense. But it's great for our program." The Buckeyes (18-0) moved up one spot to replace Duke, which was No. 1 in the preseason Top 25 and the first nine polls of the regular sea- son, including six weeks as the unanimous pick. The Blue Devils' loss at Florida State on Wednesday opened the way for the Buckeyes,, who are No. 1 for the third time in school his- tory.

Federer, Djokovic start fast at Australian Open No. 1 Wozniackd, Venus Williams win in first round. By JOHN PYE Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia - Roger Federer was sub- lime at times in his open- ing win. Novak Djokovic was businesslike and to the point. Their messages to Rafael Nadal on Monday were no doubt the same: The Spaniard will have to be at his very best to com- plete his "Rafa Slam" at the Australian Open. Defending champion Federer dismantled Lukas Lacko 6-1, 6-1, 6-3, mixing some classic touch and angled shots with aggres- sive groundstrokes in the third match at Rod Laver Arena. Federer is aiming to become only the second man to win the Australian Open five times; Roy Emerson won six. Retaining the title at Melbourne Park would stall the prospect of knowing what it's like not to hold any of the major trophies. He's won at least one of the four each year since'2003. At the moment, Nadal owns three winning the French, Wimbledon and U.S. Open crowns last year to get himself into position to be the first man to win four consecutive majors ' since Laver completed the calendar Grand Slam in 1969. He starts today against Marcos Daniel of Brazil. Djokovic took no chanc- es against Granollers on Monday night, soundly beating- the 24-year-old Spaniard 6-1, 6-3, 6-1. He thinks it's premature for anyone to be talking about winning the title. "I try to think about myself and my matches, the opponents that I have to face, not about the other guys," he said. "Of course, all the credit to Rafa and Roger. They are deserv- edly the two biggest favor- ites to.win this tournament.

Jesback up blute By HOWARD ULMAN Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - All that trash talk didn't stop the Jets from winning. So why not keep it going? Soon after New York stunned the New England Patriots with a 28-21 upset Sunday, they were already wagging their tongue's at the next team standing in the way of their Super Bowl goal, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets will go for their third straight road win this postseason when they face the third top quarterback in their three playoff games, Ben Roethlisberger. "Big Ben, he's next on our list," wide receiver Braylon Edwards said. The Jets already have beaten Peyton Manning of Indianapolis and Tom Brady of New England to reach the AFC championship game. Now they're going for the trifecta against a quarter- back who led Pittsburgh to a 31-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday after trailing 21-7. "Mission impossible," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "Now on to round three on mission impossible." The Jets (13-5) disguised their defenses, sacked a confused Brady five times and got the first intercep- tion against him in his last 12 games. Brady had ended the season with 335 consec- utive passes without one, an NFL record. Now his season is over and, lie admitted, it's a shock. After all, the Patriots' 14-2 record was the best in the NFL entering the playoffs. "It's like you're on the treadmill running at 10 miles an hour and then someone just hits the stop button," Brady said. "I think we're a pretty good football team, but not when we play like today." Bradylosthisthird straight postseason game and was outplayed by second-year pro Mark Sanchez, who is 4-1 in his playoff career. Sanchez threw three touch- down passes a 7-yarder to LaDainian Tomlinson, a 15-yarder to Edwards and a 7-yarder to Santonio Holmes - as the Jets took a 21-11 lead two minutes into the fourth quarter. Sanchez completed 16 of 25 passes for 194 yards and no interceptions. Brady went 29 of 45 for 299 with two touchdowns and one interception, throwing more than he would have liked because the Patriots trailed much of the game. "We treated them with respect all week, at least I did with my comments," Sanchez said. Others didn't. Antonio Cromartie call- ing Brady an expletive. Bart Scott said Wes Welker's "days in a uniform are num- bered" after the Patriots wide receiver used several foot references a shot at Ryan's foot-fetish video con- troversy during a press conference. Brady was pressured as much as ever. The defense allowed the Jets to have a balanced attack that produced 120 yards on the ground, led by Shonn Greene's 76 on 17 carries. By the time he got up from his football pillow celebration, the excited but decidedly slower Ryan had already run down the side- line waiting to pat him on the helmet. "Maybe everybody else never believed, but we believed," Ryan said. "We're moving on. Same old Jets, back to the AFC championship. The only dif- ference is this time we plan on winning."

CHICAGO As if the league's oldest rivalry need- ed an extra kick, Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears gave it a big one by beating the Seattle Seahawks 35-24 in a divisional playoff game Sunday. That means they'll host Green Bay in the NFC championship game. That's right, it's Packers and Bears again, only this time, a spot in the Super Bowl is at stake. "I'm sure there's going to be a lot of hype around this game building up to it," Chicago linebacker Brian Urlacher said. Well, let the hype begin. Before they could think about a rematch with Green Bay, the Bears did their part against Seattle in their first playoff game since the 2006 Super Bowl season. Cutler threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more in his first postseason appearance, and the Bears pounded the Seahawks from the start, jumping out to a 28-0 lead against the first division winner with a losing record. Now, they're staring at a rather scary No. 6 seed. Green Bay dominated top-seeded Atlanta 48-21 on Saturday behind a superb effort by Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns. "They looked good and we knew we had to come out and kind of make a Roses are red, violets are blue, send Love Lines to show them that your love is true.

Olsen did his part with three catches for 113 yards, including a 58-yard touch- down in the opening min- utes that set the tone. Cutler threw for 274 yards, completing 15 of 28 passes, and finished with a 111.3 rating. When he wasn't beating the Seahawks with his arm, he was doing it with his feet, running for two touchdowns. The Bears defense, mean- while, shut down an offense that scored 41 points in a win over defending champi- on New Orleans last week. ve Love Line Rates are as follows: 35 WORDS or less for s12.00 Each additional word 15 Add a photo for 3.00 1 alachi, i Prn youkrsank h Ier:/,-)I,, mj M I 't 00 /,,,,kat 1. 1 ,,ui t / p ndl the ,' st ~,,t av lli l lt 1, );,1 11L rr0/'11.

I think the card-making tradition she has with her niece is beautiful. In a time when so many people are rushed, and so many of us are focused on finding the "best deal" for Christmas, it is wonderful that "Blue" is teaching her niece the im- portance of thinking of oth- ers and spending time with loved ones. I hope they will carry on their tradition be- cause I'm sure many people look forward to those hand- made cards and treasure them every year. LIND- SEY IN GRANITE CITY, ILL. DEAR LINDSEY: If the avalanche of mail that poured into my office is any indication of how popular homemade cards, are, the major greeting card com- panies had better look out. Read on: DEAR ABBY: "Blue's" niece does not need to hear that she should quit a project just because some miserable, jealous "friend" makes ugly comments about it. Insulting other people's efforts, while at- tempting nothing on her own, indicates that the person is unwilling to \tap into her own creativity and is jealous of anyone who does. Abigail Van Buren www.dearobby.com "Blue" should show those people how much their opinion really mat- ters, which is not at all, and continue their tradition be- cause they enjoy creating the cards together. If they continue, "Blue" and her niece can learn two Christ- mas lessons: Traditions are worth continuing, and what THEY think, not what oth- ers think, 6f their tradition is what matters. CHRIS IN ATLANTA DEAR ABBY: I have sent homemade cards for some time, for all major life events. I consider it my "ministry" because when I make them and enclose a personal note in each one, I'm thinking of and saying prayers for the recipient. That poor buffoon who doesn't grasp the signifi- cance of a handmade card doesn't deserve to get one. - MARGARET IN THE SOUTH DEAR ABBY: I'm ap- palled that "Blue's" dear friends didn't appreciate the handmade Christmas 4r 'W- jt HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21- April 19): Making a per- sonal change that will boost your morale or bring you greater confidence will brighten your day.

If a store- bought card is what it takes to impress them, maybe they'll get all they can stand.

I know I'd appreciated' one of those masterpieces. - ROSEMARY IN MUR- RELLS INLET, S.C. DEAR ABBY: In no, way should they stop their tradition just because one "Scrooge" put a damper on things. This is a great teaching moment for the aunt to talk with her niece. about human nature, how, some people see the glass' half-full while others see' it half-empty.
