Reds sign .Lidle to 1-year deal CINCINNATI (AP) - Right-hander Cory Lidle agreed to a one-year, $2.75 million contract Monday with the Cincinnati Reds, who are trying to cobbie together a starting rotation . Lidle, 3I , went I2-15 with a 5.75 earned run average in 31 starts for Toronto last season. He pitched a career-high 199 2-3 innings despite a groin injury that siowed him in the second half. "Knowing I was going to be a free agent, I wanted to have a better year than I had ... I didn't have that kind of year," Lidie said. From 2001-02, Lidle went 21-16 with a 3.74 Ben gals from PageS and moved into contention in a weak divi sion. A victory over previously unbeaten Kansas City moved them into first place and the national spotlie ht. With a chance to make the playoffs, they reverted to form. · ·· That's one of the main areas Lewis will address in the offseason. Much of hi s attention will be on revamping a defense that fell apart in December. He also wants to bring in free agents who are accustomed to playing in big games. "We· ve started to turn the corner/' Lewis said. "We ' re not around it. Every time we peeked around it, we kind of got slapped back. We'll keep fighting to round the carrier." In his first season, Lewis turned over roughly half of the roster but oo uldn ' t get enough out of a team that still tends to freeze up under pressure. There could be one major offseason change. Core y Dillon, the franchi se's alltime leading rusher, cleaned out his locker and insisted he should be traded or released. He' ll likely get his wish. "Get him out of here," Anderson said. "Some of that stink is still around here. You can still s'mell it in close ERA for Oakland. Hi s agent was talking with three other teams when the Reds expressed interest about two weeks ago, Lidle said. "They came pretty strong," he said. "Once I learned that Cincinnati was interested, I knew it would be a good tit." The Reds' rotation was one of the major leagues' worst last season, a leading factor in their 93-loss season. Manager Dave Miley said Lidle, who began hi s major leag ue career as a reliever with the New York Mets in 1997, should provide , Cincinnati with plenty of qu ality starts. . games. We need passionate guys. We need people that love football , that want to come here and be grea t, not just be an ave rage Joe and pick up the payc hecks." Another major change could come at quarterback, where Lewi s has a delicate decision. Ki tna kept Pal mer on the bench and kept the Bengals in contention with a career year - 26 touchdown passes, 3,591 yards passing. the only NFL quarterback to take every snap. During the season, Lewis suggested he migh t let Palmer and Kitna compete for the starting job in training camp . Lewis was · vague about his pl ans when the season ended.

CINCINNATI (AP) After living 20 years with a combined HlV and hepatitis B infection, musician Terry LaBolt was weakening and at risk of dying. But he's been revived by a liver transplant under a nationwide clinical trial for people infected with the HlV virus. ''Just inhaling one breath is like 100 times the oxygen 1 used to get," said LaBolt, 48 . The pianist is eating better than he was before hi s Nov. 19 transplant and is consider· ing returning to hi s musical career, which has included Broadway and television shows. . "I was so scared he was going to die," said Carol Sherman-Jones, a close friend. "Every time I'd kiss him goodbye. I'd thin k, ' Is this the last time?'" But LaBolt lived long enough for medical science · to catch up to his illness. He became the tirst H!Vposttl ve person in the Cincinnati area to receive a liver transplant, and now he's expected to · have as ,good a chance at long-term survival as any other liver transplant recipient. "This study challenges a lot of ass umptions," said Dr. Ken Sherman, a liver disease ex pert coordinating the University of Cincinnati's role in the national study. "As long as the patient does not have active AIDS, they can be transplanted. Life expectancy for H!V-positive people is not dilferent from other transplant patients." In the years after AIDS emerged worldwide in the 1980s, people with HlV were rejected for organ transplants because they weren't expected to live long enough to justify it. Since then, antiviral therapies have become so successful that liver damage has emerged as one of the leading causes of death for people with HIV, who also can be infected with liver-damag- Terry LaBolt sits in his Cincinnati home with a portrait of his younger self on the wa ll.

LaBolt' s transplant was part of a clinical trial run by researchers at the Univers1ty of Californ ia-San Francisco. (AP Photo/Cincinnati Enquirer, Tony Jones) ing hepatitis B and C viruses. Even so. H!V patients weren,' t transplant candidates until recently because doctors feared post-surgery antirejection drugs C(\Uid interfere with HI V medications. LaBolt's tran spl ant• was part of a clinical trial run by researchers at the University of California-San Francisco. The University of Cincinnati' is among 14 participating medical centers. The study calls for per· forming 130 liver transplants on people with HIV over the next three years, including nine in Cincinnati. That is less than I percent of the more than 15,000 liver transpl ants expected to be performed . nationwide in the same period. The goal is to pin down which HIV-control drugs work best with antirejection drugs and which medicine combinations should be avoided after a transplant. Nationwide, 17,679 people are listed on liver transplant waiting lists, according to the United Network .for Organ Sharing. Through September, 4,244 liver transplants had been performed thi s year. Re searchers say it 's too early to tell how many. people of the 900,000 Americans with HIV wil l get SICk enough . in a given year to need a liver transplant. Before this study began, abo ut 5o people with H!V got new livers from 1997 throu gh 2002 from transplant centers in San Francisco , · Pittsburgh , Philadelphia and Miami. LaBolt said his life is transformed. "Just getting up the steps . took all the energy 1 had,'' he said. "But when 1 woke up from surgery. my biggest problem became what to do with all the energy." LaBolt's musical career has taken him to Broadway, on concert tours with Carol Channing and to performances on several te levision shows. He taught musical theater for several years at the University of Cincinnati's CollegeConservatory of Music. Until recent months, LaBolt occasionally performed at fundraisers and events. He stayed alive by taking at least 12 different medications to comrol the viru ses attack ing his body and prevent infect ions that could kill him . . To ease the burden on hi s liver, he fol lowed a strict low-sod'ium and low-protein diet. Even so, hi s health was steadily failing before the transplant. "It says that the medical community is looking at people with HIV in a different way than they have in the past," said Kath ry n Thompson, education coordi nator for AI OS Volunteers of Cincinnati. "I've known Terry for nine years. I have never heard the energy in his voice that he has now. He will be an inspiration to others who may think they'll never feel good again."

Thought for Today: 'The past at least is secl}re.' - Daniel _:Webster, American statesman ( 1782-1862). Wednesday, December 31, 2003 Gadhafi sets an example Moammar Gadhafi had a message this week for Kim Jong II , Ayatollah Khamenei and Bashar al-Assad. North Korea, Iran and Syria 'should follow the steps of Libya,' he said, 'so that they prevent any tragedy being afflicted upon their own people. ' Gadhafi's remarks follow his surpri se agreement announced by President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair - to disclose and dismantle the North African country's chemical, biological and nucle!lf weapons programs. Libya's leader wisely recognized that President Bush meant what he said in the days following the Sept. II , 200 I, terror <•!tacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. 'Every nation and every region now has a decision to make,' Bush declared . 'Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.' Neither the Taliban in Afg hanistan nor Saddam Hussein in Iraq took the United States seriously. So now those fallen regimes have been consigned to the dustbin of history. Some suggest that the American-led regime changes in Afghanistan and Iraq had little or nothing to do with Gadhafi's deci sion to seek rapprochement with the Joseph Perkins United States. They suggest that the Libyan leader' s wei· come decision to forswear unconveniional weapon s and to renounce terror is as a triumph of diplomacy over military threat. That's just so fliUCh hogwash. For the fac t is, two decades of economic sanctions agai nst Libya and two decades of international isolation of Tripoli hardly deterred Gadhafi from pursuing hi s weapons programs and subduing terrorists. But when Bush put the rogue nations of the world on noti ce, when the U.S. military started to kick tail and take names - first ' the Tali ban, then Saddam- that got the Libyan dictator's attention. It hardly was coincidental that Libyan envoys first approac hed the Bush administration and the Blair gov.ernment about a disarmament deal in the days leading up to the Iraq war. Nor was it coincidental that Gadhafi actually agreed to the deal , in which Libya's chemical, and nuclear biological weapons programs will be eliminated, a week after Saddam was dragged out of the spider hole in which he was hiding. Of course, there are some war critics, some Bush-bashers, who wi II refuse to acknow ledge that America is safer now that Libya has forsworn unconventional weapons, has renounced terror, much as they refused to acknowledge that America is safer with Saddam's capture and with regime change in Baghdad. They fail to see or refu se to see - the connection between the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the gathering threat or terror. " As President Bush explai 'led, the terror attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., 'revealed a future threat or even greater magnitude,' of even greater horror. 'Terrorists who killed thousands of innocent people woutd,' he said, 'if they ever gai ned weapons of mass destruction, kill hundreds of thousands - without hesita· tion, without mercy.' 'This is dra\]1atically danger increased,' he continued, ' when regimes build or ~AHU:R· © 2003 by NEA, Inc • LETTERS -TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome.

It Took A Flip Of A Coin I want to th ank the people of Pomeroy for all your votes that gave me a second term in my seat on Village Council. As you all know by now. I ran for a seai on the Meigs Local School Board also; the voters in our school district made it possible to give me a seat there too. I would also like to thank those voters at this time. When I put my bids in for the two seats, I did nor know by State Law there is a confli ct of interest between holding both seats until after the election. Par Story. a friend of mine, notified me of the state ruling on the conflict. and said I had to choose one. The situation has had me between a rock and a hard place for the last several weeks . I have been thinking about which seat to accept. Finally a few nights ago in my bedroom, I knew I had to choose one or the other. Time had run out on me. So I did the only thing I could, I got a quarter ot.it and flipped it in the air. Heads I take City Council Seat, and tails I take the School Board Seat! I will sit in my seat on the School Board and I wi II do the best job possible for the voters that put me in there. At the same time. I will miss working for the Village of Pomeroy and the people here in my hometown. I know I have made a few enemies by my votes as a counc il member and as mayor asking council to back me on certain issues. But, as a whole . I have received more good compliment s from the vill age people than bad compliments. So I guess I have something to be thankful for. To the people of Pomeroy: Thank you for your support over the last four years, and all you have helped me accomplish while in office. I ha ve always kept the promise I made, to the people of Pomeroy that voted to put me in my seat four years ago. While campaigning, I told you the only promise I would make to you, was to voice yo ur opinions at the Village Council meetings, which I did to fulfill my promi se to you. You voters are the ones that make the Village of Pomeroy wliat it is today, "A gre~t town to serve and live in." Thanks Again, Victor . ' C.

Coach Rick Edwards ' knew the team had to work harder to reach its PQtential. The intense practices the Lady Eagles have piled up in tije last couple weeks are now paying off in a big was as the 7-2 Eagles won their tifth game in a row with a 42-39 upset of the highly touted Warren Lady Warriors of the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League. "This was a great game and a big win," chimed an elated Coach Rick Edwards. "Our girls really played their hearts out for this one. They felt as though they had something to prove after getting beaten embarrassingly by Warren last year by 40 points. We talked throughout the game and timeouts about winning minutes, then M.Weber Robertson about winning quarters throughout the latter part of the game. We felt like we had to inch our way back in and that is what our girls did." Morgan Weber played an outstanding game and hit some big free throws and shots down the stretch. The talented post player tossed in I8 points and had nine rebounds, while Katie Robertson really helped the Lady Eagles get back into the game during the second quarter with eight points, and also hit 3 of 4 free throws in the fourth to help keep the Eagle lead. Robertson ended the night with I I points and five rebounds. Alyssa Holter played an outstanding floor game, often running the point for the high-flying Eagle gals. Holter was 2-5 from the floor and 2-2 at the line While garnering two assists. Jessie Hupp had three points. and Erin Weber four. Hayman did not score. but put up some quality minutes for the Eagles. ~ards said, "We were without the services of Jen Hayman much of the game due to foul trouble. In her place Erin Weber stepped up with four points and some good defense. J~;;ssie Hupp played a good floor game. She really was tested by the Warren guard pressure early. and maintained her composure very well." Eastern fell behind early I4-4 in the tirst quarter, th,en continued to slide. Despite being a home game the Warrior blue outnumbered the Eagle green in attendance and Warren seem- ingly.staked a claim to the Eagle hardwood. Easterri was down a one time at I84 during the second qudrter. Edwards signaled for a second quarter time out and the adjustments start~. ed "to reap instant dividends. Weber and Robertson opened up the game with a double post attack and Eastern cut the lead to 25-20 at ths: half. With four minutes left to go in the third period Eastern had tied the game at 30. With just a little over seven minutes left in the game Eastern took its first lead. The entire tina! quarter had the intensity of a tournament style· game and much pride was at stake. At the end of the third round, Warren held a slim 3 I-30 lead. Warren had the ball after a free throw, down by three points with 9.6 · seconds to go. The Lady Waniors got the ball to half court and called timeout with 4.3 seconds. After setting up a final play, Warren attempted a shot that fell short at the buzzer and the Eagles cmne home with the ' 42-39 win. ''The girls worked extremely hard for this one. This was a good team win, but it is over and now we have to get ready to conti!lue a very .tough stretch of our season. at .Tnmble. Southern at home. and at Beaver &tstern during the next week," said Edwards. Jenna WhittekinJ led Warren with I2 points. and Stacia Schrider added mne. Eastern hit 14-33 two's, 0-1 three's, and I2- I8 at the line. The Eagles had 42 rebounds (Weber 9). seven steals, I2 assists, and 20 turnovers. Warren hit 12-40 two's. 0-4 three's. and was 36 at the line with just I2 overall rebounds, five steals, tli(ee assists, and I0 turnovers. Warren won the reserve game 3017. Hallie Brooks had six points and I5 rebounds for Eastern while Jenna Hupp added six points. Whitney ·Swain had se'ven for Warren. Bv ToM WITHERS Associated Press BEREA - Holding a cell phone to his.em·. wide receiver Dennis Northcutt straddled a giant plastic bag as he peered . into his stall in the Browns' locker room. Maybe for the last time. After snatching a few personal items and mementos from his four seasons in Cleveland, the soon-to-be free agent was asked what it would take for him to be back with the Browns. , ''This is what's going to keep me here," Cleveland's leading receiver said as he rubbed his right thumb and index finger together in the universal sign for money. ''Let's be real about it. This is a business." And in the case of the Browns this season, a failing one. Northcutt's candor cut through some of the other cloudy issues hanging over the Browns, who began cleaning up the mess of a 5~ I I season on Monday. · There wasn't much to be positive about in 2003 for the injury-riddled · Browns, who one season after making the AFC playoffs will be picking in the Top I0 of the NFl draft for the fourth time in six years. The Browns lost eight of their last I0 games. There were bigger problems for coach Butch Davis, who had key players suffer season-ending injuries. cut wide receiver Kevin Johnson for not blocking and lost running back William Green, suspended indetinitely by the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. ''The 2003 season was tough. It was disappointing," Davis said: "It was not the season we envisioned going into training camp. By no stretch of the imagination is 5- I I where we thought this team would be. and it's not where we wanted to be. There was some adversity, but that is not an excuse. ''It would be easy to offer those up as excuses, but they're not excuses. You' ve got to find a way." Davis started a second straight winter overhaul on Monday by firing three olfensive assistants, including coordinator Bruce Arians, whom he hired in 200 I. The Browns began the season with questions about their starting quarterback. And guess what? They tinished the year with the same ones. Tim Couch ($7.6 million) and Kelly Holcomb ($975,000) are both under contract for next season, but it's doubtful the Browns would dare bring both of them back. Or will they·J Based on his "gut feeling," Davis replaced Couch as his starter before the season opener, then had to turn to the former No. I overall pick when Holcomb broke his leg in Week 3. Holcomb played so poorly when he came back that Couch got his starting gig back for the final three games. Couch says he is willing to restructure his deal for 2004 if the Browns want him back. Davis refused to shed any light on the never-ending quarterback soap opera during a vague year-end news conference. "Nothing is definite," said Davis, who will talk with both QBs in the upcoming weeks. "Any conversation about the quarterbacks today would be premature." Green's status remains a mystery. Despite playing roughly half the season, the troubled second-year back still led the team in rus,hing. But until commissioner Paul Tagliabue remstates Green, the Browns can't plan on having him back next season. "He is in a (treatment) facility and has no contact with anybody," Davis said. "I think he's going through a series of evaluations and assessments." The Browns have to do some of that themselves. Davis. who said getting his team. healthy' wi ll be his top pnonty dunng the off-season. won t have to purge his roster as he did last winter when the club was $25 million over the salary cap. There will be money to spend - Cleveland is about $4 million under the cap - and Northcutt is hoping the Browns will use some of it on him. The speedy punt returner wants t.o be a starter, and paid like one. "I want what I deserve," said Northcutt. "I have a chance to be a free agent. In one way, I'm exci.ted. And in one way, I'm not. I want to be with the Browns." Davis wants him, too. "It's very important for ·our organization to get Dennis back," he said. The Browns also have serious financial decisions to make on contracts for end Courtney Brown ($6 million), defensive tackle Gerard Warren ($5.8 million) and offensive tackle Ros~ . Verba ($4.6 million). Davis said the team will "absolutely" pay roster bonuses to cornerback Daylon McCutcheon and Orpheus Roye, two players he identified, as part of the team's core for the future. Despite the problems. some Browns didn't want to see 2003 end after their upset win at Cincinnati on Sunday knocked the Bengals out of the playoff~ . "Well, ~his season didn't go as well as we wo.uld have liked," guard Shaun 0 ' Hara said . "But we finished strong. It was nice to go out with a bang ... No Fiesta Bowl sal~s frenzy for retailers this year COLUMBUS (AP)- With Ohio State out of the national college football championship hunt, Buckeye fans aren 't swarming retailers for Fiesta Bowl mer·chandise as they did last year. . "People were wrapped around the store last year," said hidi Mormol, co-owner of Conrads College Gifts. "We had to move out everything" to make room. The store just off campus has only a few 2004 Fiesta Bowl shirts displaying the helmets of OSU and this year's F1esta Bowl rival , Kansas State University. The selection is nothing compared to the days leading up to last year's Fiesta Bowl, when the Buckeyes beat the Miami HU!Ticanes in double overtime for the national title. Jason Hill , director of athletic merchandise at The Official l'eam Shop in the Schottenstein Center on campus, worked I6-hour days last December filling orders for Fiesta Bowl glasses, flags, bobbleheads and Beanie Babies. The university store that sells Ohio State apparel, collectibles and other items had revenue of $500,000 for the tirst I7 days of December 2002.
