Dion ending 5-year Vegas run LAS VEGAS Celine Dion's Las Vegas concert extravaganza at Caesars Palace will close on Dec. 15 after a nearly five-year run. "As we prepare ourselves to say goodbye, I know this will be the best year yet," Dion said in a statement yesterday.

The Grammy award-winning singer, who signed a three-year, $100 million contract, started the gig, titled "A New Day," in March 2003. The run was later extended through 2007. Producers say nearly 2.5 million people have seen Dion's show since it opened in the Colosseum, a $95 million theater built for the production. The final block of tickets for performances from August through December will go on sale on March 1. Bush Sr.

Moonriat 6:25 p.m. 9:04 am Subway N.Y. man who pulled teen off tracks given medal, Disney trip BY VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press NEW YORK A man's rescue of a teen who fell on the subway tracks earned him the title "the hero of Harlem" yesterday, plus $10,000 from Donald Trump and a trip to Disney World. Mayor Michael Bloomberg bestowed the title on Wesley Autrey as he presented him with the city's highest award for civic achievement, calling the 50-year-old construction worker "a great man a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers." Past recipients of the Bronze Medallion have included Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Martin Luther King Muhammad Ali and Willie Mays.

Bloomberg said he thought about Autrey's actions as he waited for his downtown subway yesterday morning, looking at how much space was between the rails. "I don't know what I would have done," the mayor said at a jam-packed news conference. Autrey, who said people now recognize him on the street and called him a "superhero," downplayed the notion that he had done anything extraordinary. "The real heroes are the young men and women fighting in Iraq," Autrey, a Navy veteran who served in Vietnam, said at city hall. The last honoree was Housing Authority employee Felix Vasquez, who caught a baby thrown from a burning building in 2005.

On Tuesday, Autrey saw Cameron Hollopeter, a 19-year-old film student, suffering a seizure while waiting for a train. After stumbling down the station platform, Hollopeter, of Littleton, fell onto the tracks 605 Kapl'olani Honolulu, HI 96813 Copyright MICHAEL J.

Hollopeter, hospitalized for his medical condition, was in stable as a train was on its way in. Autrey, who had his two young daughters along, said something needed to be done and, as he later said, he thought: "I'm the only one to do it."
