CHEERS

..... to Indiana fans for being able to take a disappointing season much better than University of Kentucky fans. As a UK grad and fan who was just as frustrated as the next, the talk around Lexington would have you to believe the world is coming to an end.

— Tribune Reporter Daniel Suddeath

..... to the New Albany Urban Enterprise Zone producing tangible ideas and offerings to improve downtown New Albany. In addition to the facade grant program that's already been reported in The Tribune, the UEZ and New Directions Housing Corp. recently announced that it will partner to help fund home repairs for elderly, disabled and low-income homes within the zone, which comprises much of downtown. The public should try to take advantage of these programs because they represent a real opportunity to make a positive change.

— Tribune Publisher Steve Kozarovich

..... to the New Albany High School Bulldogs. Thank you boys for another thrilling season and representing our community so well.

— Tribune Publisher Steve Kozarovich

..... to the many volunteers who work each day to provide meals to the elderly in Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Scott counties. LifeSpan's Meals on Wheels program hands out almost 400 lunches each day, Monday through Friday, to those in need. For many, not only is the meal a necessity, but so is the interaction with the volunteer delivering it. This needed service is always searching for volunteers to help continue this wonderful program.

— Tribune Region Editor Chris Morris

..... to Jeremy Sprecher. The New Albany resident will take part in The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefit, in which he will bike 150 miles to raise money for the Norton Cancer Institute. Not only is donating his time and energy to a wonderful cause, but he's promoting good health and fitness at the same time.

For those interested about the benefit, call 877-688-BIKE or e-mail kentuckyguides@ridetovictory.org.

HOWEY: Keeping Peyton in the Hoosier pantheon
The critics of keeping Manning suggest he would return to a team struggling to contend. I’m not buying that. The Colts were decimated for a second consecutive year with injuries, particularly on defense. With the top choice in each round, they can quickly reset, as San Francisco and Cincinnati did this year.
