Barton Lorimor DAILY EGYPTIAN

City Manager Jeff Doherty announced his retirement Tuesday afternoon after more than 30 years of service to Carbondale’s city government. Doherty, who said his retirement would take effect June 30, said he plans to pursue other options in his private and social life, which would require a change in lifestyle. “There are certain times in life that come about making change possible. With a family, there are certain times in life that you can’t make changes,” Doherty said. “If I am going to do something else, this is the time.” Mayor Brad Cole said the City Council would hire a professional firm to find a successor in the spring. He said ideal candidates would be able to lead the community and encourage its growth, as well as handle nearly 300 city employees. Councilwoman Mary Pohlman has had experience finding new administrators during her tenure at the Jackson County Board of Health. “I think it is wise to do a national search,” she said. “There is someone out there.” Doherty, who is Carbondale’s longest tenured city manager spanning 16 years, was hired by the city as an EDYTA BŁASZCZYK ~ DAILY EGYPTIAN administrative intern in June 1976.

SALUKI TRACKER Saluki Insider Bart Scott Major League Baseball general managers voted 25-5 in favor of using instant replay to review borderline home run calls — whether the ball is fair or foul, whether balls clear the fence or hit the top and bounce back and possible fan interference. Should baseball incorporate instant replay? “The umps should review any decision that SEAN MCGAHAN affects the outcome, not just home runs. A manager’s challenge, similar to the NFL, should mcgahan be an option for any play and late game calls @siude.com on the plate should automatically be reviewed. Getting the correct call should be the priority, not the flow of an already slow-paced game.”

Anyone who has ever signed up for an 8 a.m. class has ended up feeling stupid when the time comes to wake up for that class. This feeling is also common when seeing a performance like the one Vikings running back Adrian Peterson turned in Sunday, or on the flip side, what his teammate Troy Williamson has done for, well, three years now. The following is a list of players who have either been shockingly good or disappointingly bad, also known as the 8 a.m. All Stars: Quarterback – Tom Brady, Patriots. He was expected to put up MVP numbers, not be on pace for 59 touchdown passes — 10 more than Peyton Manning’s record. So far, Brady has registered 2,686 passing yards, 33 passing touchdowns and more than 100,000 fantasy
