(AP) Right-hander Chris Reitsma doesn't know where he 'II wind up in the Cin'cinnati Reds' pit~hing plans this season. Given the way he's moved around, he's ready for anything. . Reitsma, 26, has been a stJ~rter, a setup man and a <;loser in the last three years. bouncing from role to role as the Reds try to figure out where he might fit be st. He aypears to be headed for a setup slot this season, although he's gotte·n no assurances. ~ 'They haven't really to'ld me." Reitsma said Monday. "It's just a matter of getting ready. Whatever they need me to do, I' ll do ." · Lately, he's done it all. He was considered one of . the Reds ' top pitching prospects wlien he was first promoted in 200 I. He went 7-15 with a 5.29 ERA, leading all National League rookies with 29 starts and 182 innings. Reitsma was in the rotation again at the start of the 2002 season. but struggled and was demoted to the minors. He was bumped to the bullpen toward the end of the season. After three starts last sea- son, he went back to the bullpen as a setup man for closer Scott Williamson . When Williamson was traded to Boston in July. Reitsma became the closer and had some success. converting 12 of his last 14 chance s. Oventll, he went 5-5 in three start s and 54 relief appearances, with 12 saves and a 4.29 ERA. The local chapter of the Baseball Writers' Assoc iation of America voted him the club's most outstanding pitcher for 2003. when the Reds lost 93 games. Reitsma made $350,000 last year. and was eligible for arbi tration for the first time in the offseason. He asked for $ 1.45 million, but the club's offer of $950,000 was upheld. The Reds have decided to move Danny uraves out of the rotation and back into the closer 's role , forcing Reitsma to change job descriptions again. "Danny's got 130 saves, he knows what it takes to be a closer, he 's done it for years," Reitsma said. "He's comfortable in that role and obviously has been very successful. If they want him in that role. it doesn't make me uncomfortable in the least." He would like to settle into a role and stop bouncing around. "I don't think you ever get comfortable with doing that," Reitsma said. "That's not an easy thing to do. But I have started 50-some games (53), middle relieved, closed . Hopefully as time goes by. I can move into a role and stay there ." Schmidt calls Rose 'a beaten man' CLEARWATER. Fla. (APJ Hall of Farner Mike Schmidt called Pete Rose "a beaten man.. and doesn't know whether the career hits leader will gain reinstateriient to baseball. Schmidt, one of Rose's biggest allies. said baseball's hits king didn't come across as a sympathetic figure in a book tour that included television and ne"':spaper interviews. In "My Prison Without Bars," Rose rever"sed· course from 15 years of denials and admitted to betting on the Cincinnati Reds while he managed the team in the late 19S0s. "It wasn't the best showing of sorrow and regret." Schmidt said Monday. "That's just sofnething Pete isn' t great at doing. But I know he truly is sorry ltnd that he regrets everything. He talked to me about it in private, told me that he let me down·. And he broke down. "As· SO()IH\ji...) got off the phone with him. I contacted the commissioner and told him. 'This guy means what he's saying.' I believe in him and, you know, I don't want to get caught in a con game. Pete's a beaten man ." Rose agreed to accept a lifetime ban in 1989 and applied for reinstatement in 1997. Last year at this time, Schmidt was predicting that commissioner Bud Selig would make a decision on Rose's application before the stan of the 2003 season. "He still seems to be dragging hi s feet on that one," Schmidt 'aid. "He must have a good reason for it." Schmidt will coach 20- and 21-year-old prospects this year as · manager of the Clearwater Threshers, the Philadelphia Phillies' Class A farm team in the Florida State League. It is Schmidt's ftrst full-time job in baseball since he retired in f989. Bonds insists he will block otq all the distractions SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -A winter without his father beside him in the batting cage weighed more heavily on Barry Bonds' mind this offseason than his connection to a . lab at the center of an alleged steroid ring. "It's . been difficult ' " the slugger said Monday, sitting in tile dugout at soggy Scottsdale Stadium. "Just hard !Ill the way around. I broke down a couple times in the batting cage just due to the fact he wasn't with ine. He's been my coach my whole life." . Bonds was surrounded by reporters on his lirst day at spring trairling, and he was ii~ed repeatedly about his ties tit the supplements lab accused of illegally distributing steroids to dozens of athletes. the six-time National League MVP, who appeared in December before a grand jury grobing the lab, had repeatedly denied using steroids. : ''They can test me every day if they choose to," said Bonds, l!Ulo is right around his 228Q.Ound playing weight. :";After last season, Bonds seri9ysly considered walking away fr!>m baseball for good, unable to imagine playing without his dad. Bobby, who had been ill for nearly a year with lung canCer and a brain tunior, died in August at age 57. , :But the Giants slugger pushed on, at the urging of his )hother, his wife and godfather Willie Mays. The Daily Sentinel• Page 86. ~.mydailysentinel.com : Tuesday, February 24. 2004 "I couldn't hit. I didn't want to go in ·the cage. I didn't want to swing the bat," Bonds said. "I really didn't want any part of it for·a while." Now; another important member of Bonds' supporting cast, trainer ·Greg Anderson, won't be around. Anderson was absent Monday when Bonds showed up for camp a day ahead of the voluntary repurting date for position players. Anderson, often seen with Bonds at spring training and during the season, was among four men charged this month in an alleged steroid-distribution ring that federal prosecutors say supplied professional ath letes with banned substances. All the men have pleaded innocent and no athletes have been charged. "I feel bad for him," said Bonds. who turns 40 this summer. "I feel sad. We grew up together. We' re friends. It's .unfortunate what he's having to go through." About BALCO, the -Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative that's at the center of the federal steroids case, Bonds said: "There's nothing I can do about it right now. I have to go out and play baseball and, hopefully, it will blow over.... "I believe if l wasn't going for records, it would be a nullified situation," said Bonds, who is two home runs shy of tying Mays for third on the career list with '660. "If you want to be at the top, you've got to have broad shou lders. ... I know who I am. I know what I stand for. I know what kind of ballplayer I am." Bonds spe nt two stints on the bereavement list in 2003 and, despite all he w;1s dealing with, still batted .34 1 with 45 homers and 90 RB Is. Wi;\en asked if he can pass Hanll' Aaron's record of 755 homers, Bonds ' quickly answered: "I think I can do anything .... I'm going for it all." · Mays spent three days a week with Bonds the entire offseason. working with him on his swing while also monitoring Bonds' mental frame of mind. "I'm focused now, and ready," Bonds said. · He admitted, with a smile, that he wants to pass Mays on the homers li s.t as soon as possible. He ju ~,t wishes hi s father could be 'there to see it. While the Giants have indi, cated they will be better about enforcing a two-year-old directive by the commis~ion­ er's office that limits who can enter the clubhouse, Bonds thinks his other trainer, Harvey Shields, will still be around. Shields stretches out Bonds before games. "I believe Harvey will always be with me," Bonds said. "That's stretching. I have to get ready for games. People have to realize our body is our machine. " 1 According to documents released last week, Anderson told federal agents he gave steroids to several professional baseball players. It was unclear whether Anderson provided specific names to the agents. Manager Felipe Alou is convinced · Bonds will deal with everything just fine. "He lost his father and he still won the MVP," Alou said. "Barry Bonds is a baseball player, maybe one of the best baseball players that ever lived. To be a baseball player of that caliber, you have to be the complete package." In nearby Mesa on Monday, Chicago Cubs manager Dusty Baker, formerly the Giants' skipper, defended Bonds. "The only thought I have is that a man's innocent until he's proven guilty," Baker said. Bonds seems to have a knack for blocking out the distractions. "Regardless of what my problems are or what situations are at hand, they're still going to be there anyway," he said. "Baseball has been more of a stress release than anything else. "Basebal l has been time away from everything. It's my stage. It's something that I enjoy to do. I ~njoy to do it for the fans, I enjoy to do it for the game of baseball and myself. I just really enjoy being on stage." Jackets holding his arm as he left. San Jose took 50 shots in a 2~ l victory at Columbus nine days earlier, but this one was much more competitive. The Blue Jackets cut the lead to 3-2 on Eriksson's goal midway through the third period before Cheechoo •s second goal. Weak defense is the biggest culprit . in Columbus' road woes. The LeBron from Page 81 thought we would come back," said Kapono, who went 5-for-5 on 3-pointers after not playing in Sunday's win at New York Only once before had the Hornets blown a 25-point lead. They also did 11 on March I, · 1996, at Minnesota. The Cavaliers were down 49-24 with 6:34 lefi in the second quarter, but trimmed it to 14 by halftime and four by the end of the thiJd before ftnally taking the lead at 83-82 on Mcinni s' short jumper with 7:42 to play. But as has been the case · with most of their games this season, this one went to the final horn as Baron Davis hit a 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left to get the Hornets to 102-100. However, Boozer made two free throws with 5.1 seconds left, and with the lead seemingly safe, Silas · raised his right fist in the air to celebrate a win over the team that fired him after last season. Davis led the Hornets with 34 points and Jamal Mashburn had 23, but after a strong stan, the two stars struggled from the field. They opened a combined 13-for-13 froni the floor but went 7 -for-32 the rest of the way. "They just kept on play; , ing," Mashburn said. "They k,ept attacking and we didn't. That's the bottom line." Kapono sparked the Cavs comeback, draining al) his 3-pointers and adding ftve rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes. The second-round draft pick from UCLA had Blue Jackets allowed 34 goals during the ftrst 10 games of the winless skid, and they repeatedly left the Sharks untouched ·on their passes and shots. Leclaire stopped -34 shots in the second NHL appearance for the Blue Jackets' 2001 first-round draft pick. Sturm extended his points streak ,to five games with a backhand power-play goal late in the first period. He has six goals and ftve assists in the Sharks' nine February games. played just 19 minutes in his previous five games . ''I'm not the most talented guy in. here,," he said looking around the Cavs' locker room. " I'm probably No. 14 on the roster, but I can play a little." Mcinnis was also huge, scoring nine points in a crucial stretch of the final peri. od when the Hornets and Cavs were trading baskets. Before re-entering the game with 8:24 left and the Cavs within one, Mcinnis pounded his hand ' on the scorer's table and yelled, "Ii's crunch time!" He promptly hit his I Qfooter to give the Cavs their ftrst lead. "I knew it was time to be aggressive," he said. "I . wanted to go for it." · · Elias said it was the ftrst time in Cavs history they won after trailing by 21 at the end of the ftrst quarter. They had been 0-9 in such games. Twice trailing by 25 in the second, the Cavs chipped away and got two 3-pointers from Kapono, two baskets by James and a . 3 from Mcinnis to get to 5945 at halftime. Davis and Mashburn were perfect in the first quarter, scoring 14 points apiece with each going 6for-6 from the fteld as the Hornets bolted to a 37-16 lead after one. Davis made a pair of 3pointers as New Orleans shot 79 percent (15-of-19) from the floor in the period. The Cavaliers couldn't do anything to stop the Hornets, who seemed to make everything they threw (jp. Mashburn capped the 12-0 run with a fadeaway 117-footer he shot off one foot. 0 Ll • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ,,, (I \ I'> • \ ol. } I \., . 1:.!:1 SPORTS • ESPN plans movie on Peter R~.

The tapes, attributed to Ayman al-Zawahri. came as Pakistani forces backed by helicopters searched villages in a remote region between Pakistan and Afghanistan where bin Laden and Tali ban suspects are believed hiding . Al-Zawahri, an Egyptianborn J?hysician. is thought to be with bin Laden in the rugged mountains. In the past, U.S. intelligence officials have noted that some tape releases have been preludes to attacks. On an April 7 tape , a speaker believed to be bin Laden exhorted Muslims to rise up against Saudi Arabia and foreshadowed suicide attacks against U.S. and British interests. Suicide bombers struck Westem housing compounds in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on May 12. The latest audiotape.s aired a few hours apart on AlArabiya and Al-Jazeera networks. competi ng Arabic TV stations based in the Persian Gulf. Officials at both stations ' said they . broadcast only newsworthy excerpts and that their full recordings were different. Both stations said they received the material Tuesday. Events mentioned in the tapes indicate only that the recordings were made no earlier than last month. Al-Arabiya and Al-Jazeera said they were confident the voice was al-Zawahri's, with Al-Arabiya also saying its confidence in the authenticity stemmed from the source of the tape, which officials would not identify. The voice on both tapes sounded identical, with the tone and rhetoric similar to previous video- , tapes as well as audiotapes believed to be from ai Zawahri. "There are rumors these day s that the arrest of Osama bin Laden and Ayman aiZawahri is nearing; (these tapes) are a response to that," satd Mohammed Salah, an· expert on radical Islamic· groups and the Cairo bureau chief of the pan-Arab daily newspaper Al-Hayat.

VIEW 'Confused' · Middleport Board if Public Affairs ' De11r Ediwr: When expressing my disagreement regarding the disbanding of the Middleport Board of Public Affairs. I was H>ld hy a • memher of council that I w;t., entitled to my opinion . As a citizen ami past mcmher nJ' the RPA. I disagree with council's dccisi,;n to disband the BPA in favor of a paid administr;tlor. Even thou gh .:oundl has the legal right II> disband the BPA. I question the motives and reasons. A mcmhcr of coundl said. "I have never been for a BPA." - He then said, "I have no complaints ahout what the BPA has 'done or hasn 't dm1c ." Confusing'' : One council member particularly and otllers occasionally have attended BPA meetings. and now it has taken four years to decide "I've never been for <I BPA ." Still wnfusing! Further confusing is "the water we're drinking now is the same water we we1e drinking when they were appointed." 01 · course, the water is from the same well, but has well head pro·tcrtion, no contamination. is now chlorinated properly and regularly .•llld the tanks have been cleaned according to spec. il'ications. Same watcr'1 I don't think so; you be the jttdge. Mnrc conrerning: Council will "consider" proceeding with · .imprmement prujccts, mcluding ll new wuter treatment plant. What does it mean. "L·onsidcr'l" BPA has spent the p.tst four years planning a new water · treatment plan.! and thottsands of dollars on plans, surveys, and studies. They have adjusted rates, purchased property, and . drilled wel ls. Now, council wtll "~onsider" proceeding'' Still . confusing' Concerning the $5 water improvement fee. the BPA has a 'substantial amount of thm money in escrow to he used iowurds water improvement and funds carried over from 2003. Not to pay an unnecessary administrator. In other words BPA. is very solvent, and has completed several water and , sewer projects. With regard to Floyd Browne. rules, increases, usage, and ·EPA. all those things happen by the book, facts, figures and bottom line. and Floyd Browne has been a great asset in ~· assisting our village in obtainitig grants, achieving projects and meetin~ requirements . Co~t money? Yes, but doesn't · everything? · Rate increase? In the event of a new· water plant, there will ' ' be an associated rate increase, calculated on requirements neces&ary tn provide safe drinking water for our community for years to come. What will happen if our curret)t adminis. !ration only "considers" to proceed? Flush all the preliminary planning. engineering, and financial investments down the drain. As in past years, it will he necessary to do it all again :when the cost is even greater. · Finally, really confused: Why would a village even consider replacing a BPA, which operated for $1,800 per year, with · a village administrator who will probably require a salary of · $50,000 plus per year? One of the counci Imen even suid he did not support the change .without knowing the salary. And apparently, they don't even know. Still confused!

It 's not that San Dic~o\ middle -income lu1mcless prefer to rent. It's just that the housing supply in AmericH's fourth most populous c-ounty has not kept pm:e with demand. The result is that San Diego is one of the nat ion's least -affordable housing markets. In fact , only 16 percent of San Diego households can Hlford to huy a median -priced, resale, single -family home - which goes for $425,000. according to the California AssoL·iation of Realtors . That brings me to a local halh>t proposition that appears before San Diego voters next month . It would all hut ban future home huilding on uearly 700.000 acres of realf estate in San Diego. roughly a quarter of the county's land area .

The Marauders outscored Fairfield Union 14-4 -over the final four minutes of the third quarter Tuesday, to pull away and claim a comfortable 75-56 victory in boys Division II sectional action at Katie Smith Gymnasium _in Logan .. . The win earns Meigs (138) its first sectional tournament win since 1998, and a spot in Friday's champi· on ship game. "Overall, 1 thought it was a step forward for us because its been a while since we won tournament games here at Meigs," said Meigs coach Carl Wolfe. "This is definitely a step in the right djrection." . Wolfe's -crew will battle Gallia Academy for a spot in the district tournament at the Convocation Center in Athens . .

Fairfield Union, who was the seve nth seed, wrapped up its season with an 8-13 mark. Meigs shot a solid 56 percent from the field Tuesdlly, due in large part to its suecess breaking the Falcon press, resulting in layups. "We thought if we could make three passe's. we could score on the other end. And a lot of times we did," said Wolfe. Fai_rfield Union, on the other hand, made only 21 of 65 floor shots for a cold 32 percent.

After a difficult loss two weeks ago at Warren that came about with a turnover marred fourth quarter, the Blue Devils wailted to show that loss was a fluke. The two teams met for tne third time this season at the Divi sion II sectional tournament. Thi s time. the Devils proved themselves in a game that lasted just a little over an hour. Gallia Academy controlled the Warriors on defense and attacked every aspect of Warren's defense as the Blue Devils won easily, 71 -50. "We owed ourselves a game where we · weren ' t going to be back on our heels," said Gallia Academy head coach Jim Osborne. "That game (at Warren), they just stayed after it and we messed it up enough for them to win. Tonight. we attacked their traps and we attacked their full-court press. 'The only way they were able to create offense the last time we played them at Warren is· because we turned it over. .. In that game at Vincent. the Blue Devils led by 10 going into the fourth . This time. it was a little more difficult for the Warriors as Gallia Academy closed out the third quarter with a 5 I -28 lead and only committed two turnove rs in the second half. compared to seven in the fourth a couple of weeks ago. Gallia Academy only had eight turnovers the entire game Tuesday. "Defensively, we kept them on the perimeter," said Osborne. "They can't beat us if they can't get inside on us. Their post players were negated by our post players and we did a great job guarding people on t)Ie perimeter. Donnie Johnson led the Blue Devils with 26 points. eight assists and six steals.

"I thought Adam Snowden came in and did a good job of feeding the ball in, I thought Carl (Wolfe, Jr.) and A!.!am both had some great passes to Dakota in the second half." Fairfield Union's Jared Larson went for 17 points to pace the Falcon scoring charge followed by teammate Nathan Stephenson with 10. Larson scored the first two buckets of the game, giving his Falcons a 4-0 edge, but the lead was short-lived. Wolfe Jr. cut the lead in half with a layup on other end, before a Stephenson jumper in the paint once again made the margin four. Then Bobb got into the act. The senior scored Meigs' final 14 points _of the quarter, mne of those on old-fash1on 3-pomt plays, to p~t his club up 1610 at the first stop. HIGH -RISK AUTO Fatrfield Union got as close as two twice in the second period, but never pulled even again. After a Stephenson score made it 18-16, the Marauders claimed a 13-4 scoring edge over the next three minutes to build a double digit cushion. Meigs took a 37-26 lead into halftime. The Falcons opened the third quaner"scoring with a Jordan Burnworth 3-pointer, cutting the lead to eight. Later on, Larson put together back-to-back scores and hit a 3-pointer from the baseline to pull his team to within seven at the 4:37 mark .of the quarter. But the Falcons flew no closer. Wolfe, Jr. and DeWitt sparj<:ed the Marauders to a 14-4 scoring·edge, combining for 10 during the span, Meigs led by as many as 23 points in the fourth, as it cruised to the win.
