The club has interviewed four candidates for the job, which it originall y hoped to fill before Thanksgiving. General manager Dan O'Brien said Tuesday that no ot her candidates are being considered. Interim manager Dave Miley, former White Sox manager Jerry Manuel, Pittsburgh player development director Brian Graham and Tampa Bay coach John McLaren were inter· viewed last month. O'Brien said there are no plans for a second round of interviews. "Granted, we' re being very deliberate, but that's with the ex press purpose of trying to make the right decision ," 0' Brien said. "We're trying to be as thorough as we can." The decision isn' t entirely up to 0 ' Brien, who was r ired on Oct. .27. Chief operating officer John Allen and owne r Carl Lindner also are involved in picking the manager who will take over a team In transition. The Reds moved Great into American Ball Park last season but fared so poorly that manager Bob Boone and general manager Jim Bowden were fired on July 28. The club then went on a payrollslashing spree, trading its top veterans to other teams for pitching prospects. Lindner is expected to cut the payroll significantly for · next season, limiting what O' Brien can do in his first j6b as a general manager. Miley was considered the front-r unner based upon his 24 years of experience in the organization: He got the interim managi ng job - his first chance to run a major league team - after Boone was fired. The Reds went 22-35 under Miley, who had to deal with a team in nux because of the flurry of trades. O' Brien wants to have a man~ger picked before baseball's winter meetings Dec. 12- 15 in New Orleans. The club has its annual fan festival this weekend . Source: Red Sox to hire Terry Francona as manager BOSTON (AP) - Terry Francona will be hired as Boston' s new manager, a source told The Associated Press, reuniting pitcher Curt Schilling with his former boss in a push to bring the Red Sox their first World Series title since 1918. The Red Sox scheduled a Thursday new ~ conference at which they will announce Francona 's hiring, a baseball source said Wednesday on the condition of anonymity. Francona, · 44 , · managed Philadelphia through four losing seasons from 1997-2000 · when the Phi!lies were a young team trying to rebuild. Francona will be under pressure to win immediately Ill Boston, where Grady Little ·averaged 94 wins over two seasons but was let go after the team collapsed in the seventh game of the AL champi- onship series. · The Red Sox also interviewed Los Angeles thirdbase coach Glenn Hoffman, Anaheim bench coach Joe Maddon .and Texas first-base coach DeMario Hale . But Francona was established as an early front -runner, and hi s hiring was delayed only by the team's pursuit of Sch illing, acquired last week in a trade with Arizona. The Red Sox traded four players for Schilling last week, but the deal was held up while they negotiated a contract extension with the 37-year-old pitcher to ge t him to waive his no-trade clause. They agreed Friday to a deal th<tt will pay him $37.5 million over the next three years, wi th an option for a fourth . Schilling said one incentive for him to sign in Boston was word that Francona was "a slam dunk" {O be the new manager. Even so, he made it. clear that he did not make Francona's hiring a condition of the deal, nor did the Red Sox promise it. Under Little, the Red Sox made the playoffs last season for the first time since 1999. They came back from a 2-0 deficit against Oakland, winning three in a row to take the best-of-fiv e, first-round series and play the New York Yankees for the right to go to the World Series. Boston led New York 5-2 in the seventh inning of the decisive seventh game, but Little opted to go with tiring ace Pedro Martinez instead of a recently rehabilitated bullpen . Martine z blew the lead, the Yankees won 6-5 on Aaron Boone's lith-inning homer off Tim Wakefield and Little was let go after the season. Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO · - Barry Bonds weighed 1.85 pounds as a rookie in 1986, when he was a slender leadoff hitter known more for stealing bases than hitting homers. Now he's a muscle-bound 230 pounds, a six-time National League MVP who holds the season record for home runs and is gaining on Hank Aaron ·s career mark. Bonds say' his increased strength comes from intense weight training, a proper diet and nut ritional supplements from companies such. as the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative, or BALCO. ~ Still, when Bonds testifies Thursday in a probe focusing on possible tax and drug violations by BALCO, the grand jurors and fans across the country might wonder whether his muscular development has been entirely natural. Bonds, 39. repeatedl y has denied using steroids and arg ues that his evolution as a home run hitter has been steady. "Go look at the back of my bubble gum card," he said after winning a third straight MVP award last month . "My numbers are consistent ." Except for 1989, Bonds has hit at !east 24 homers in eac h of his 17 full seasons. The only dramatic jump came in 200 1, when hi s record 73 homers marked the only time he topped 50. On the other hand. four of Bonds' fi ve biggest homer totals came in the last four seasons - ,all atier his 35th birthday. Bonds will be the bi ggest name to appe,ar before the grand jury. Athletes from four sports - football, baseball, swi mm ing , and track and field already have appeared. That includes track star Marion Jones and her boyfriend , 100meter world r~cord-holder Tim Montgomery, KEEPING MEIGS COUNTY INFORMED THE DAILY SENTINEL ' VISIT US AT:WWW.MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM "' r Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio .)H tT:\TS • \ 'ol. :;~ . :'\o. ~''l AT DISCOUNT PRICES!

"1 can envision this incident being used in training 10 years from now - and not JUS t here," said Chief Thomas Streicher in an interview publis hed Friday in The Cincinnat i Enquirer. Streicher tpld the newspaper in a two-hour interview Thursday that he was shocked when he first viewed a videotape showing six of his officers struggling wi th Nathaniel Jones. · " My initial reac tion was shock - not because they did anyth ing wrong, but because 11 was so violent." he said. The videotape from a crui ser-mounted camera showed that the 350-pou nd Jones lun ged at officers and knocked one over before they used ni ghtst icks to repeatedly jab and strike him while trymg to handcuff him early Sunday. Hami lton County Coroner Carl Parrott ruled that Jones' death was caused in part by the stru gg le and was a homicide . He said obesity, drug use and a weakened enlarged heart were also fac tors. The chief stressed that the mvestiga tion was not completed. but he said he would have to defend the office rs' actions based on the evidence that he has seen so far and despite criticism from City Council members and .tcti vists that he has been too quick to judge the officers' actions appropriate. _ "Even thou gh it's ugly, even though it looks terrible. when I compare it to our policies. 1 don't see anything wrong." he said. Attorney KenneJh Lawson, who is representing Jones' family, maintain s that Streicher's continued public support for the officers is mtended to intluence the various investigation s into the Dec. 4, 2003 Nasdaq Wtp:s.i.te Friday, Decembers, 2003 Police chief continues defense of officers, despite criticism Ohio weather MICH.

The city has sponsored meetings between residents and police in an effo rt to improve relations since 2001. (AP Photo/A! Behrman) to1d the newspaper. "He says, ' Don't pass judgment,' but he does it himself. The chief is talking out of both sides of his mouth ." Lawso n and activists have acc used offi cers of provoking Jones into a conflict and using excessive force trying to subdue him. Streicher said that two witnesses said the officers didn 't taunt Jones. "It was not, in my estimation, an arres t situation," said Streicher. Nor should they arrest him . But they do say, ' Hey, this guy needs so me help,' and it deteriorates in a matter of seconds." Streicher said that after Jones attacked the officers, they had a legitimate authority and an obligation to arrest him. "If yon don ' t, who does he turn on next''" said Streicher. Some have questioned the use of the batons, or nightsticks, on Jones, but Streicher said officers are trained to use them to hit the nerves and temporari ly paralyze a limb without causing permanent injury. The ofticers al so have been criticized for standing around while Jones was struggling to breathe, but Streicher said the tape shows that officers rolled Jones on his s.ide to clear his airway and brought a medical kit to the scene to begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. "There is concern for this guy," he said. "There is a genuine act of com passion." Lawson strongly disagreed , calling the chief a liar. "Give me a break,'' Lawson said. " If they were just doing their job, they would have cared and tried to protect his li fe." Streicher defended hi s early comments on the case as neeessary. "What we find so lacking in Cincinnati and across the nation is an understanding of what police do and why they do it,' he said. Members of the Ci'ncinnati Fraternal Order of Police back up Streicher. Keith Fangman, vice president of the pol ice union, told The Assoc iated Press Thursday night that a large contingent of uniformed officers would attend a news conference Friday to show their support for Streicher, for Mayor Charlie Luken and for the six officers placed on admini strative leave after Jones' death . "We also are going to vigorously and tirmly respond to accusations by the NAACP and the black Baptist Ministers Conference the past couple of days, and we will lay out in no uncertain terms how our officers will react in future similar violent encounters,'' Fangman said. · The black organizations have criticized the use of force and have called for a federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. On Thursday, the National Urban League joined in that call. League President Marc Moria! wrote in a letter to Assistant Attorney General R. Alexander Acosta: "The community 's confidence in our nation 's justice system was eroded when immediately after Mr. Jones' death, Cincinnati officials claimed the videotape showed that the officers were defending themselves." Moria! said the rush to "exonerate. the officers, prior to even the completion of the au topsy makes clear why an independent federal civil rights in vestigation is not only required but essential." The Justice Department has said it is considering whether to investigate.

Hill Controller-Interim Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor· VIEW United way Swanthood and stewarship 'Servanthood' and 'stewardship' are words that are heard most often in church. But they are words that should be common in our vocabulary and in our actions . They apply to everyday life. And they apply vividly to the Gallia County United Way and the agencies it supports. In my comments at the kick-off breakfast, I emphasized servanthood. Our community is blessed with a spirit of servanthood as evidenced by responses to the ice storm hst February, the tornado in 2002 and the downtown fire in 200 I. Many of these acts of service were provided by agencies supported by United Way. Individual acts of service were also provided in these crises ... as they are in some form every day. Another individual act of service in which we all can participate over the next few months is giving to the United Way. That brings me to my next point. The servanthood that · United Way itself demonstrates and supports through the agencies is al so a great example of stewardship. Stewardship is defined as 'the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one 's care.' The United Way of Galli a County is a good steward of the resources with which it is .entrusted. I00 percent of the dollars donated in Gallia County stay in Gallia County and 85 percent of ~II funds raised go direc tly to the agencies. The remainder supports the organi . zational work of United Way of Gallia County. This is the thirteenth year for a United Way campaign in Galli a County and the fourth year as an independent agency. What this means is that money that comes from · Galli a County residents is spent totally in and for Gallia County. Some fu nds also come from Meigs and Mason Counties and are spent proportionately in those counties. Records indicate that this year's campaign will result in over one million dollars being donated during the 13 years of the local agency. The impact of these donations and the work they support has been very significant for local residents. Examples of the services provided by United Way agencies are: youth activities (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts); health-related (Hol zer Hospice, Arthritis Foundation, Family Addiction Counseling and Treatment, Woodland C~nter); shelter, clothes or other assistance (Red Cross, Serenity House, Outreach Center, Community Action Agency); addressing the challenges that come with aging (Council on Aging, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program). Often the need for services occurs at times of disaster or other crisis. There are many persons in our county with great needs and also many who have the ability to help meet those needs. We have the opportunity ... may I say the obligation ... to do no less. We know we can't meet all of the needs as individuals, but individual efforts combine to make a difference for many. United Way attempts to address the fragmentation that often exists in supporting community outreach by using a rational · approach to raise and distribute funds - another demon stratiOfl of good stewardship. The United Way of Gallia C?unty and the agencies it supports are committed to servanthood and stewardship. Please consider your own opportuntities for servanthood and stewardship by giving directly or through your employer to support the campaign. You can also serve by volunteering your time and talents to the United Way or to the individual agencies. Even in these diftlcOJlt economic times, I am confident in uur commitment and our ability to meet the goals of the campaign and the needs of our community. Let's all do our part by giving generously and serving faithfully. LaMar Wyse is th e 2003-04 honorary chair of the United Way of Gal/ia County.

Commissioners were unwilling to make an outright promi se of CDBG funds, although Commissioner Jeff , Thornton said the village was Tradition from PageA1 A new kind of waifare In Iraq today, the United States is facing whill amounts to a brand new kind of warfare . The good news is that this tactic cannot possibly defeat the United States' armed forces. The bad news is that it isn't even intended to: Its aim is to break the will of the American people. This .new kind of warfare is suicide bombing. Now, suicidal attacks are by no means unheard of in human history. As recently as World War II, in the last stages of the battle in the Pacitic, Japan inspired 'kam ikaze' ('divine wind') pilots to crash their planes into American naval vessels. And, from time tQ time . across the years, individuals have used suicidal tactics to insure that their attacks on enemy units or in stallations will succeed. But it is only recently, in the Palestinian : intifada against Israel, that suicide bombing has been elevated to the level of an entirely new tactic, to be employed on a sustained basis against the enemy. And now, it appears, that tactic has been imported mto Iraq and deployed agamst our force s there, by elements loyal to Saddam Hussein or otherwi se dedi 'cated to ou stin g the William Rusher American s. It is not clear, in the case of Iraq, how long the new tactic can be sustained. It obviously requires a considerable pool of individual s ready to sacrifice their own lives in order to' intlict serious damage on the enemy. Of course , every soldier knows that his or her life may be forfeited in battle , according to (unpredictabl e) circumstances. But the sui cide bomber knows in advance that hi s life is sure to be lost - a foreknowled ge that civilized nation s normally try to spare their soldiers. Recruits for such duty clearly must be highl y motivated. America's top commander in Iraq, Gen. John Abizaid. has estimated that there are not more than 5,000 resisters scattered through Iraq, · and it 's a safe bet that not all of them are prepared to be suicide bqmbers.

That has been the case in Israel , and the Israelis, who are a tough, have been unable to de vise any response capabl e of halting the attacks. They have simply had to learn to li ve with random deaths of members of their military and civili an populations, consoling themselves with retaliatory measures that do nut end the problem. It rna y well be that the American peopl e will have to accustom them selves to a similar grim experience in Iraq - on tQp of the ordinary attacks by rocket-propelled gremdes, land mines, etc., by guerri llas who hope to escape . The small but steadv loss of American lives wiil become a part of thi s nation 's daily experience, and the question wi ll inevitably arise: Can we stand it~ The Israeli s stand · it because they simply have no choice : The attaGks are launched against them in their homeland.

The FBI in Cleveland has been investigating. the case from almost two years and has no suspect. Special Agent Bob Hawk told The Associated Press that authorities believe the same person has sent the hate mail to the men nationwide , including to siA National Football League players. "It's a threatening communication. We take it seriously," Hawk said Thursday. Most of the letters had Cleveland postmarks, but a few were mailed from Youngstown, also in northeastern Ohio, and from nearby New Castle and Erie in western Pennsylvania, he said. Hawk said the letters "were sent to high-profile people in their respective communities - professional athletes, business leaders, civic leaders, commu·nity leaders or organi- zations." Hawk would not identify who received letters and said only that they were mailed to the East and West coasts, the Midwest and the Southeast. A memo sent Nov. 18 to all NFL teams by the league· s security department said the threatening letters came from the same person . "The memo went out to head coaches who were asked to share the information with security personnel and players," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Thursday. Hawk said the contents of the letters "complain about the relationships between black me n and whi te females." He said the letter' direct bl ack males to end relationships with white wo men "or they're goi ng to be castrated. shot or set on fire ." All the letters were typed and had similar margins. spac!ng and words, Hawk said. The letters usually were signed ''angry white woman·· or "angry Caucasian woman.'· NFL players were reluctant to say much about the letters. Cleveland Brow ns safety Earl Little said he has not and knows of no teammates who ha ve received threatening letters . He said he was saddened by the news but would follow the philosophy of civil ri ghts leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "I ha ve to live my life .

The board ended up unanimously recommending a reduced sentence and immediate eligibility for parole for Rebecca Hopfer. 27. While it mentioned the letters, the panel of nine did not cite them as a factor. Legal experts say outpourings of public support for inmates usually have little influence on whether parole boards decide to recommend release. "I can't see them bucklinjl down to pressure from cillzens," said Tammy K.injl. chair of the criminaljusttce department at Youngstown State University. Her view was echoed by Aaron Larson, a criminaldefense attorney from Ann Arbor, Mich ., who has represented clients at parole hearings. Larson said letters and statements of support are often discounted because they are usually from people who have a personal stake in the prisoner 's freedom. "Parole boards are much more likely to · be intluenced by negative letters than positive letters," he annual growth since 1995. said, adding that statements according to the Justice from victims of the crime Department.

Friday, Decembers, WORSHIP GOD THIS -WEEK 2003 Perhaps we .should all follow advice to 'stay at home' On Nov. 14, the Wahama White Falcons played in the lirst round of the West Virginia state playoffs. Their opponent that particul ar game was Doddridge County High School. Late in the third quarter, the Doddridge offense lined up in a formation that had the clear markings of running a play to the short side of the field along their sideline. Our son, Jeshua, who plays outside linebacker on defense, was positi oned on the opposite side. When the ball was snapped, and the play started moving !lS ex pected , Jeshua spnnted from hi s position , and tackled the quarterback from behind for about a three-yard loss. I tell you what - it looked good to me. I clapped my hands, and yelled, "Way to go, Jesh 1" Exci ted stands-tims cheered, too, at the defensive play. I happened to be standin g dire ctl y behind the team's defensive coordinator, .James Toth, at the time. While man y were checr'ing because of what was viewed as a good pl ay, Coach Toth, on the other hand . held his ga nie -plan ground aboul the play. He raised his hand as high as he co uld stretch with his index finger pointed to the ground , and started yeHing, "Jes hua, stay at home' Stay at home 1" When Je shua realized hi s name was being called, Coach Toth reiterated with the same gestu re, "Son, stay at home! Slay at home! " Jeshua nodded knowingly. It was then that I remembered. Jeshua had been reprimanded on a couple of occasions during the regular season for forsaking his contain position as an outside linebacker. .Coach Toth later explained how he could envision an opponent's offensive coordinator recog ni zi ng and exploiting such loss of conlain for large rushing gains , which could , conceivably, make a difference ·in a game. Ron Branch I have always instructed our boys to do what the coaches say to do, and be where the coaches want them to be. Jeshua 's play, although appearing acceptable, was, in fact , a play that thwarted the coach 's prescribed design. So, I felt a little sheepish for applauding the play. This, however. makes for a powerful spiritual consideration. Primarily, it reminds us how easy it is to fall into affirming moral behavior th at runs contrary to the revealed will of God. Fur example , we unwittingly glorify coupl es who birlh children outside of the marriage institution. We make heroes out of people who ingest vast quantities of beer. We acquiesce to the peer pressure to tolerate ungod ly sex ual practice. We co mfort those who have to di vorce because they ju st do not feel like working out their differences.

Zherdev nets first goal in 4-2 Blue Jackets' loss . ' BY RusTY MILLER Associated Press COLUMBUS - Nikolai Zherdev got his first NHL goal. It just took longer than a crowd of 16. 166 thought it should have. Rem Murray. Scott Hannell . Greg Johnson and Scott Walker scored goals. and Tomas Vokoun stopped 37 shots in Nashville·s 4-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. But Zherdev provided a glimpse of what all the hype was about. Zherdev, the Blue Jackets" ~tirst - round draft pick who llew out of Russia on Suilday. scored his tirst NHL goal and had another one disallowed. Zherdev. who also assisted on Rick Nash ·s 17th goal in the final minute. was met with a standing ovation when he skated to the bench during a break late in the game. '" I feel a little bit sorry for myself with the first goal being disallowed," he said through an interpreter. "'So .I. tned to prove to everybody that I could score. I tried very hard and fin ally I scored my ltrst goal. Every goal I score I like.to pump my fist. I was really happy for myself and my team."' Nashville extended its franchise-record winning streak to six. and won for the fourth straight time on the road. The Predators are 10-2-0-0 in their last 12 games. The Predators are one of the early surprises in the NHL with a record of 14-10-1-0. They didn't wm their 14th game last season until Jan. 18. Nashville broke open a scoreless game with two goals in a 21second span of the second period. Jason York's blast from the top of the right circle was redirected by Murray, who was skating across the crease. for his fourth goal of the season. Before that goal could even be announced, David Legwand assisted on Hilnnell"s ninth of the year. · Johnson's goal came on a two-on-one rush in the third period. "In the second period we played with some emotion' and came out with some fU"e," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "That was where we stole the game from them." . Zherdev scored on a shot from the left hash with S:321eft to cut the Nashville lead to 3·1 . Nash then redirected a shot by Zherdev with 20.7 seconds left to nanuw the lead to one before Walker scored five seconds later into an empty net. Nash led the Zherdev fan club.

The six- time National League MVP entered the grand jury room late Thursday morning accompanied by attorney Mike Rains and left the roo m nearly 5 1/2 hours later, thou gh it was unclear how long he testified. ''It went fine," Bonds said as he was led by two bodyg uards and two federal marshals to a freight elevator that was held for him . He was taken directly to the garage of the federal courthouse , then driven away as a marshal stopped tra ffic . Bonds' wife and mother sat in a nearby hallway during most of hi s appearance. At one point, Bonds - who wore a sports jacket and tie - stu ck his head into the hallway and asked, " Is my mother here?" Benito Santiago. a free agent who spent the past three seasons as Bonds' teammate with the San Francisco Giants, testified for 45 minutes later in the afternoon. Hi s attorney, David Cornwell , said he fears athletes who appear before the grand jury will be unfairly ostracized. "My only concern is that there seems to be almost an undercurrent that stigmatizes these guy s, which I think is inappropriate," Cornwell said. Bond s has attributed his muscular development over the years to intense weight training, proper diet and a regimen of nutritional supplements from companies such as the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, or BALCO, that is at the heart of the grand jury probe. Bonds repeatedly has denied using steroids. Thursday 's appearance gave grand jurors the chance to ask the Giants slugger under oath whether his growth has been entirely natural. Other athletes that already have appeared before the grand jury include track star Marion Jones and her boyfriend, I00-meter worl d record-holder Tim Montgo mery, four Oakl and Raiders and Ol ympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken. An appearance before the grand jury, or being subpoenaed to testify, does not mean an athlete is a target of the probe. Two people have been named so far as targets of the grand j ury - BALCO founder Victor Conte, and Greg Anderson, Bonds' personal trainer. Bonds. 39. hecame a BALCO client just before his record-setting 200 I season , in which he hit 73 homers, and has praised Conte fo r giving him a personali zed nutritional program . Anderson 's home was raided by the Internal Revenue Service and a drug task fnrce Sept. 5, two days after a similar raid at BALCO. Bonds posed with Conte and Anderson for this past June's issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine and heaped praise on both . "I visit BALCO every three to six months. They check my blood to make sure my levels are where they should be. Maybe I need to eat more broccoli than I normally do. Maybe my zinc and magnesium intakes need to increase," Bonds told the magazine. "Victor will call me to make sure I'm taking my supplements, and my trainer Greg will sit near my locker and stare at me if I don't begin working out right away. I have these guys pushing me." Bonds brought Anderson ; a childhood friend, on a major league tour of Japan after the 2002 season, when the trainer met players such as Jason Giambi - who also has been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury. CONNIE MABIN Associated Press CLEVELAND -Someone sent hate mail to more than 30 high-profile black men, including several NFL players. warning 'them to avoid relationships with white women or be castrated. the FBI said Thursday. Agents have been · investigating the case for almost two year~ and have no suspect, said Special Agent Bob Hawk. Most of the letters ~ad Cleveland postmarks. but a few were sent from Youngstown, New Castle, Pa. and Erie, Pa., he told The Associated Press . Hawk said the letters "were sent to high-profile people in their respective communities - professional athletes, business leaders. civic leaders, community leaders or organizations." Six went to professional athletes. Hawk would not identify who received letters and said only that they were mailed to the East and West coasts, the Midwest and the Southeast. A memo sent Nov. 18 to all NFL teams by the league's security department said the threatening letters came from the same person. "The memo went out to head coaches who were asked to share the information with security personnel and players," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Thursday. Hawk said the contents of the letters "complain about the relationships between black men and white females." He said the letters direct black males to end relationships with white women "or they're going to be castrated, shot or set on fire." All the letters were typed and had similar margins, spacing and words, Hawk said. The letters usually were signed "angry white woman" or "angry Caucasian woman." In Columbus, a police report said the mother of suspended Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett received a racially charged death threat addressed to her son. Michelle Claret! received the letter, which had no return · address, at her home on Oct. 2. The typed message was' from "OSU cheerleaders" and said "black men should stay away from white women ." It included other racial remarks and ended with a message that the writer will "kill and bomb the place." Hawk was unsure if the Clarett letter was part of the current case. An offender could be charged with sending threats W.Michigan president will ask for elimination of 4 varsity sports KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) -After a two-month review of intercollegiate sports at Western Michigan, President Judith I. Bailey said Thursday she .will ask the board of trustees to .drop four varsity sports to help the school save money. Bailey will recommend to trustees at their Dec. 12 meeting that they approve the elimination of men's outdoor track, men's indoor track, men's cross counD-y and synchronized skating after this school year. Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is the nation s only other college that offers syncrhronized skating as a varsity sport. It is a club sport at other schools. Eliminating the four sports would save Western Michigan more than $535,000 per year while affecting about I00 athletes, the university said in a news release. The Kalamazoo Gazette reported that the sports have 102 athletes on their current, combined rosters, including 54 women on the synchronized skating team. "This was an incredibly painful decision," Bailey said. "We know that eliminatinjl any sport diminishes our abihty to offer . a well-rounded college ex~nence . 'But we must protect our core academic mtssion, and doing that in this.budget climate means making difficult decisions and reassessing how we use our resources." . Bailey created a committee on Sept. 24 to perform the . review. This happened after Western Michigan lost $12.5 million in state appropriation '• money at the start of the 200304 school year. Just as the committee was completing its work, Gov. Jenmfer Granholm announced an impending executive order cut that could mean another $6 million less for the university. The committee dealt with several parameters, including keeping Western Michigan a Division 1- A member of the NCAA, maintaining Title IX compliance and remaining an active member of both the MidAmerican Conference and the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.
