GETTING TO THE BALLOTS: STUDENT ISSUES

CANDIDATES FACE OFF AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS

TRICK OR TREAT: Tammy Bogart and Sarah Tomashefski attach flyers to pumpkins as part of her campaign for First Ward Council.

Ward position is object of desire By Amylo L Brown IH[ BC m*s

They faced off in 1999, and now they're at it again.

Sarah Tomashefski, graduate student, and' Greg Amend, junior, are competing for the stu- dent votes that will place one of them in the ward one city coun- cil scat. Tomashefski won the seat in 1999 with 114 more votes than Amend. Now Amends promising a tough rematch...

" llicre's a fire in my belly this year,'' he said. "Only 114 votes!"

Amend, who ran for the coun-

the candidates will be having a debate today at 7 p.m. at St Mark's.

cil seat when he was 18 and in his first year of college, said he's learned a lot from his defeat two years ago and his strategy this campaign reflects that, perhaps on the advice of his father.

"I told him to look at what he did right and analyze what he did wrong," said loe Amend. "We're only talking a couple of votes he lost by last lime."

One lesson he learned was that money does play a role in getting elected in government.

"I was significantly outspent last time," Amend said. So he began fundrais- ing earlier, gath- ering support from other stu- dents, residents and family. Amend has also spent more time talking to students, according to his friend Ty Foust, a junior at the University.

"He's more personal with it now," Foust said. "He's more con- cerned about the issues and bet-

Amends campaign. "He definitely paid attention

to some of the things 1 did last time," she said. "Things have changed. 1 can't assume I'll win again."

So like Amend, Tomashefski is campaigning hard, her platform focusing on the two years she spent sitting on council.

"I'm running on continuing programs I've been working on,"

SMOKING BAN: BWs may be one of the establishments restricted by the smoking ban.

Smoking ban may restrict restaurants

By Will E Sanders THE BC NEWS

Non-smoking or non-smok- ing?

This is what Bowling Green res- idents might be hearing waitress- es asking them when they walk into any of Bowling Green's restaurants if the proposed smok- ing ban, which will be on the November ballot, is passed. But restaurants arc not the only local businesses affected — bowling alleys, lounges, auditoriums and lobbies will be too.

The Bowling Green Clean Air Act will be on the Nov. 6 ballot and so far the efforts of a local lawyer, Andrew Schuman, are going uncontested by those that will be affected the most by the ordi- nance.

Schuman, once a resident of Vermont, where restaurants are smoke free, was sitting in the non-smoking section of a local restaurant with his wife about a year ago when he noticed he was still breathing in second-hand smoke.

"We decided to do something about it," Schuman said. "We started circulating petitions last November."

He did some research on other towns that have similar bans on smoking and has found that there is no economic impact on busi- nesses. The research Schuman used was compiled by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It examined restaurant sales from 1990 to 1997 in ten counties, five

of which had smoking ordi- nances in place. There were no differences in sales between all the restaurants in the ten coun- ties.

It was just ten people meeting in the library at first. Now the sup- porters are well over 1.000; their names verify that on the petition they signed, which was later sub- mitted to the Board of Elections last January.

"Nobody has ever done an ini- tiative petition (in BowlingGreen) before, at the very least nobody has done one with a smoking issue (in the U.S.)," Schuman said.

The petition is an initiative petition, which means citizens are trying to get a law in the books that does not already exist.

The petition If passed the ordinance will

prohibit smoking in all public places, with two exceptions.

First, smoking will be permit- ted in public establishments only if separate smoking room is offered. The separate smoking room must be enclosed on all sides and have a separate ventila- tion system.

Second, smoking will not be restricted in bars. Smoking will be restricted in restaurants that have bars if the revenue produced from food equals or exceeds 35 percent of the annual gross sales.

Schuman also said he has not ran into that much opposition on

Campus mail looks into anthrax scare THE BG NEWS

University Postal Services employees will be attending a bomb training seminar on Oct. 29 and 30 to help make mail handling at the University more secure.

According to Troy Lacey, University Postal Services man- ager, said the training seminar will be held by campus police.

Campus police would not comment or what the training would entail.

"Campus mail services is

committed to mail security," Lacey said. "We are learning to make mail more secure."

University post office employees have undergone training for how to handle haz- ardous mail and how to spot a suspicious package. Lacey said packages that are excessively light or heavy, do not have a return address or have a return address different than the post- mark are considered suspicious

If a mail clerk identifies a sus- picious package, the package is isolated and the mail clerk

immediately washes his or her hands. The building is then evacuated and campus police are notified.

In an effort to protect mail clerks, carriers are instructed not to pick up packages at resi- dence halls and offices that do not have valid return addresses. Clerks at the post office window also will not accept packages without return addresses.

The University's Postal Services employees will contin- ue to receive training updates as well as information updates

from the USPS and FBI. The University Postal

Services does have latex gloves available for postal workers, although Lacey said the gloves are not as effective as people think. When a person takes the gloves off and puts them back on. he or,she is putting him or herself at risk.

They are also in the process of getting paniculate masks.

The University post office handles approximately 100,000 to 150,000 pieces of mail per day.

Authorities using DNA to identify WTC victims

DESTRUCTION: Kim Carlisle, left, cries after the manager of Monticello Apartments, Candy Wells, right, told her it was unsafe to enter her apartment yesterday. Severe thunderstorms rolled through central Illinois with at least one reported tornado touchdown that damaged businesses and apartments.

by Sara Kugler THE ASSOCIATE D PRESS

NEW YORK — Eight people losl in the World Trade Center attack have become the first vic- tims of the disaster to be identi- fied through DNA in the biggest effort in history to use genetics to put names to the dead.

Their identities were estab- lished via DNA on some per- sonal belongings that had been supplied by their loved ones.

The number of missing stood Wednesday at 4,339. Of the 478 people whose remains have been recovered, 425 have been identified. Authorities have said that because of the intense fire and the crushing weight of the rubble, many of the victims can only be identified through DNA.

After the Sept. 11 attack, fam- ilies of the missing rooted through their loved ones' per- sonal effects Investigators hope to use DNA from the tooth- brushes, hairbrushes, chewed gum, licked envelopes and other items to identify the body parts being taken from the smoking ruins

The names of the first eight victims were not released.

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani yes-

terday urged more families to submit samples.

"What we're recovering are parts of bodies," he said. "So I don't want to offer a great deal of hope that we're going to be able to recover bodies in the way that people ordinarily think of that."

Marion DeBlase, 44, who lost her husband, lames DeBlase, 45, said that waiting for news of him has been horrible. She said she realizes that she, like many other victims' relatives, may never get that phone call.

"It's very hard to assume the end when you don't, in fact, have anything," said DeBlase, who gave officials her husband's hairbrush and toothbrush.

DeBlase said she is beginning to fear what searchers may find in the nibble. "As time goes fur- ther and further away, I'm more afraid to see if they find any- thing," she said.

The round-the-clock identifi- cation operation is coordinated by the city medical examiner's office. Hundreds of body parts arrive at the office daily, each in a separate bag with its own number.

Tissue samples are collected

from all remains and sent to two private laboratories for DNA typing. The city and the state police forensic laboratory do the final matchups against material collected from rela- tives.

Dr. Robert Shaler, chief of forensic biology in the city med- ical examiner's office, said it is impossible to say how many of the dead eventually will be identified. "It all depends on how many victims we recover," he said.

The scenario is reminiscent of the aftermath of the TWA 800 explosion off Long Island in 19%. Twenty-two of the 230 people aboard were identified solely by DNA.

Anna-Marie Normile, 80, lost her daughter and son-in-law, Peggy and Dennis Price, in the explosion. Peggy Price was one of the first bodies pulled from the water, but the family waited more than a year before they heard that a piece of Dennis Price's skull had been matched with DNA from his parents.

"To wait that length of time, it was horrible," Normile said Wednesday from her home in Englewood, Colo.

BG NEWS WORLD BRIEFING

Pro-bin Laden group loses 22 fighters

KORAK DANA. Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban gunners fired missiles Wednesday at U.S. jets pounding the front line north of Kabul, the heaviest onslaught in four days of attacks there. Opposition com- manders said they were bring- ing up fresh troops for a possi- ble assault on the capital.

An American airstrike in Kabul, meanwhile, reportedly

killed 22 Pakistani militants linked to Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. It was the highest reported death toll suffered by bin Laden's allies since the air assault began Oct. 7.

U.S. struggles to make mail safe

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration struggled yesterday to make the nation's

vast postal system and its 800,000 employees safe from anthrax. Surgeon General David Satcher admitted "we were wrong" not to respond more aggressively to tainted mail in the nation's capital.

"Anybody who puts poison in mail is a terrorist," said President Bush, although he said he had no direct evidence to link the Sept. 11 airliner attacks with the outbreak of a disease that was last seen in the United States more than two decades ago.

Sears cutting 4,900 jobs by Dave Carpenter 1HE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Sears, Roebuck and Co. is slimming down and becoming more of a discounter, taking cues from competitors that have enjoyed brisk busi- ness at its expense in recent years.

The nation's fourth-largest retailer announced a makeover Wednesday that includes elimi- nation of 4,900 salaried jobs, other cost-cutting and a new merchandising strategy that plays to its strengths — home appliances and home furnish- ings.

While falling short of some of the radical changes suggested by analysts, such as ditching its sluggish apparel business, Sears' overhaul marks a bold departure from its traditional department-store model.

It also signals a new direction under chief executive Alan Lacy, who took over a year ago and is experimenting to try to regain retail ground lost to such dis- counters as Kohl's and Target.

His solution: More discount- ing, more self-service, increased

emphasis on home appliances, less "clutter" of weak-selling products on the sales floor and a leaner administrative staff.

"This strategy... will substan- tially improve Sears' financial performance by creating an easier shopping experience for our customers while operating with greater focus, speed and efficiency," Lacy said.

He stressed the company is not abandoning department stores for an all-out discount strategy. Rather, Lacy said, Sears will adopt more of an off-mall look.

"We'll have better service and better quality goods than a dis- counter," he declared.

The CEO said the plan will increase its operating income by 50 percent to more than $3 billion, double profits from its retail and related services oper- ations by 2004 and achieve annual savings of $600 million by the same year.

Wall Street reacted cautiously to the plan, which came as the company was reporting a bet- ter-than-expected 6 percent decline in third-quarter earn-

ings. Sears shares rose 52 cents to close at $38.31 yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange

As part of the changes, Sears is making its biggest job cuts in eight years, trimming about 22 percent of its salaried corporate and regional staff.

Some 1,300 positions will be eliminated from Sears' head- quarters staff of 7,000 in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates by the end of 2002. Another 3,600 positions will be cut from district and regional offices in the 15,000-strong field organization that supervises its 860 department stores.

Retail analyst Kurt Barnard said the plan was the best news he's heard from Sears in 10 years.

"For many years Sears has been stuck in the mud while its rivals were moving forward," said Barnard, a consultant and president of Barnard's Retail Trend Report.

The changes, he said, will remake Sears into "a new kind of discount store — like Kohl's, but with a little overlay of the traditional department store."

Rather defies anthrax, terrorism By David Bauder THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — CBS anchor Dan Rathei says he won'l be Test- ed for anihrax or lake antibiotics even though tin- deadly genn was found in his office. It's his way of defying terrorists.

Rather's assistant, Claiie Fletcher, is being treated for the skin form of anthrax. The anchorman and his stall contin-

ue to work in Their Manhattan office, which was scheduled To gel a Thorough cleaning Wednesday night.

"We're nol going To run scared and we're nol going To work scared," he said Wednesday.

Bather said he's shown no symptoms of the disease and consults with experts daily.

A spokeswoman for (he New York City Health Department, Sandra Mullin, said That in

Rather's case, her department wouldn't necessarily recom- mend Tesling or antibiotics. She said Thai's based on The amount of anthrax found in his office and The period of rime passed since Fletcher became sick.

The veteran CBS newsman said his decision was about more than his health.

"In wartime, I'm Trying lo respond lo the situation with a mixture of good sense, defiance

and, when I am called upon to deliver it. as much bravery as I can muster," he said.

He's nol passing judgmem on people who have made a differ - enl decision, he said.

She said the committee is looking al whal they can do to change and enforce ordinances that allow loopholes for landlords who don't take care of their property. She also wants lo continue with the Citizens on Patrol program which pairs students and resi- dents to patrol the neighbor- hood.

According to Tomashefski.

her Iwo years of experience on The council is valuable because she underslands now who (o talk to and how to get things done.

She said that there were numerous processes Thai had to Take place. Though, before The crosswalk could evensian to be construct- ed. "You think it's just a cross- walk."

"1 think it has made her think more aboul Things,''

Tomashefski s friend, Heather Wilson said. "I really respect her for That.''

Amend's campaign has focused on The division he sees between the Universily com- munity and The residential com- munity. Asa resident of Bowling (irecn as well as a student, Amend said he sees how the res- idents read To sludenls and whal sludenls contribute to The city. If elected, he plans to implemenl programs Thai will gel sludenl organizations more involved in the city. He also wants to help city businesses by working with the University on an off-campus meal card.

Both Tomashefski and Amend, though, have sacrificed some of their own campaigning time to push hard lo get stu- dents registered lo vole and lo the polls Nov. 2.

In addition to voting for their representative, studenls will have a say in whether or nol smoking is banned in some reslaurant/bars in Ihe city. Students votes will also help determine whether sludenl rep- resentation will remain a 2-year term (versus four years) in ihe next election.

Said Amend, "How important is it to you thai you have a stu- dent on city council?"

Proposed ban comes under fire SMOKING, FROM PAGF 1

the issue, but those against il never mention thai il is a public health issue.

"Smoking kills people," Schuman said. "We know thai. I understand lhat it is an addiction; by all means smoke, but don'l do it in a place where il can harm other people."

He also mentioned studies done thai have proven that sec- ond-hand smoke can lead to lung cancer among non-smokers.

If the resident majority favors the ordinance this November, the only place where smokers could enjoy their habil would be in pri- vate residences, private vehicles, private social functions and out- doors.

Schuman is confident thai it will be passed and said thai the idea is ahead of its time and nec- essary for the people of Bowling Green.

This ordinance would require thai all places of employment within city limits would need a written smoking policy no later than 90 days if passed. It would also be necessary for businesses to put "No Smoking" signs on each entrance and exit.

The only ones more tight- lipped than smokers holding in that last drag if the ordinance is passed in November are the mayor and city administrators, none of whom would comment on whether or not the city's busi- nesses, mainly restaurants, would be affected by the ban on smoking if passed.

Businesses The Bowling Green Chamber

of Commerce said it took no position on the issue and felt that "it was a voter issue."

Though elected officials are not speaking on the matter, local businessman lohn Gauld is.

Gauld, manager of Junction, said he supported what the town feels is right and does not see the ordinance, if passed, affecting

business that much. "I would say that 70 percent of

our customers sit in the non- smoking area, and the 30 percent that do sit in the smoking section, only one or two in the group usu- ally smokes," Gauld said.

"That number seems about right," Schuman said after hear- ing Gauld's comment. "Seventy- three percent of Ohioans don't smoke, that percentage holds true," Schuman said.

However, the Junction manag- er did say that smokers to tend to stay in the restaurant longer than non-smokers.

There was a forum for all local restaurant owners about the ordinance last June, but only one owner showed up. No other owners have contacted Schuman since his fight for the ban on smoking.

Enforcement Gauld and other local business

owners may soon be seeing visits from city police giving out cita- tions to those disobeying the ordinance if passed.

"We are going to handle it on a complaint basis," Chief of Police Tom Votava said. "If an officer views a violation he can take action. More likely than any- thing, it will be on a compliant basis."

Votava said he does not think it will tap or expend the resources of the police, but at first it may be difficult because people might not be familiar with the ordi- nance.

The first offense of the ordi- nance would be a minor misde- meanor, the second would be a misdemeanor of the fourth degree, and subsequent offense would result in a third degree misdemeanor.

"This Issue will affect people's everyday live3." Schuman said. "And people will enjoy them- selves a lot more if it is passed."

If passed, the ordinance will be put into effect five days after the votes are tabulated.

In Ohio, it is against the law to fish for whales on Sunday and to

get a fish drunk.

OUR TAKE MAJORITY OPINIONS OF THE BG NEWS EDITORIAL BOARD

Exercising the ballot If past elections are any indi-

cator of how this election will go, things in Bowling Green may become very difficult after Nov. 6.

This November, the ballot will contain several issues that will directly affect students: the smoking ban, the ward reappor- boningand the Ward 1 coun- cilperson decision.

First, the smoking ban would definitely affect a great deal of students because smoking would be restricted in public places People could only smoke in places that offer a totally sep- arate smoking room or bars where serving food is not the

primary income. This means that smoking at BW3's, function and Easystreet may not be allowed.

If the wards are reappor- tioned, the University will not be guaranteed a student seat at council. As it is now, there are four wards in the city, divided by Main and Wooster Streets. Student residences and the University are the primary occu- pants of Ward 1.

If the ward system is removed, the city will go to an all at-large council, which means that each of the four rep- resentatives will be elected by all voters. This means students will

have to campaign city-wide, which is a difficult task for stu- dents who have classes and jobs.

And the competition for the Ward 1 council seat will be a right race. Sarah Tomashefski and Greg Amend were paired up last time elections came around. Amend was young and inexperienced then, but now the competition is more fierce between the two candidates.

While Bowling Green may not be home, every law and ordi- nance passed affects students. We need to exercise our right to vote and keep Bowling Green a place we are comfortable living.

Bush does logical thing BRET SMITH

Guest Columnist

Afghanistan is a ban-en waste- land of a country, where a gov- ernment that forces them back to the Middle Ages oppresses the people. That government, being the i nfamous Taliban regime, takes pride in making the lives of innocent Afghan citi- zens a living hell, then justifies it by incorrectly citing verses in the Qur'an. That same regime also harbors a terrorist who holds a grudge against the United States. He feels that everything the United States does goes against the holy book of the Muslim world and, just like his Taliban buddies, cites verses out of it and takes them out of context.

Now imagine if all of our free- doms that we take for granted were taken away because of one Osama bin Laden and his Al- Qaida terrorist network system- atically making more attacks on our soil similar to the Sept 11 attack on the World Trade Center. Because of these attacks, none of us would be able to walk outside of our houses ever again, for fear of contracting a disease caused by a biological weapon or worse. I'm not saying

that it will happen, but what if it did? What if we did live in a country whose citizens lived in constant fear because some ornery Muslim extremists never learned how to share when they were kids?

I don't know about any of you, but 1 can't imagine such a thing happening, and it could be a reality if we don't do anything about it, albeit a distant one. This is the reason why we are at war with the Taliban govern- ment in Afghanistan.

Terrorism should not, and will not, be tolerated in this great country of ours. As with 90 per- cent of the country, I believe that George Bush is doing a great job. He's handling this situ- ation the right way by being patient. I whole-heartedly agree with Mr. Harris' article in this past Monday's edition of The BG News. The demons respon- sible for the attacks did what they did because they hate everything that we stand for, "education, toleration, freedom, democracy and capitalism," to directly quote Mr. Harris' article. He is also right by saying that the Taliban will not listen to us, and the only way to stop them, other than doing what we're doing right now, is by giving up the freedoms we rightfully earned by being mere citizens of this country. 1 wouldn't want to

choose the latter, and I don't think anyone else does either. Therefore, going to war against an unfair government who is harboring the FBI's most want- ed terrorist is the only logical option that we have, whether we like it or not. Even if we give them millions upon millions of dollars to not attack us again, it won't work. They're going to continue to be the "pure" Muslims that they think they are and continue to fight their "jihad" against the western world.

Concerning the "God bless America" signs, I am a Christian, and 1 believe that God has blessed America ever since we won our independence from Britain over 200 years ago. He has blessed this country through good times and bad. From expansion to civil war, from economic prosperity to the Great Depression, from Lincoln to Clinton, He has given us many things to be thankful for. And for the atheists out there reading this, our country was based on ludeo-Christian beliefs, so at least recognize that our forefathers founded this nation with an Almighty God in mind.

Mr. Bush is doing the right thing by going to war against the Taliban. Can any of you think of a better way to handle this?

Stand up for your country ZACKARY BARNARD Guest Columnist

I'm pissed off. These peace protesters just have no clue. What's it going to take for them to realize the terrorists snicker in delight when they see Americans protesting?

Here's something different: I am proud you protesters are exercising your first amendment rights. I think it's nice to see peo- ple stand up for what they believe. I also think this campus needs more people who will stand up and speak out for what they believe.

My only problem with you is that you're wrong These terror- ists want to end our way of life, end our liberties and rights, and end our lives. They want to kill America and that means all the Americans who support the war effort and the few who support peace. If you didn't understand, they want you to die.

These terrorists don't under- stand peace. But, they do understand that some people in America don't believe slaughter- ing 6000 innocent people is enough to justify war. Not a

war lo kill innocent Afghans or a war against any religion, but a war to bring an end to these purely evil terrorist organiza- tions.

Who bombs a country and then drops hundreds of thou- sands of packets of food relief? Only America Who freezes $30 million in terrorist funds as part of a war effort? Only America. Who arrests 600 people con- nected to terrorism worldwide as part of a war effort? Only America. I'm not sure when you peace protesters will draw the line on these terrorists, but I drew the Line on peace with ter- rorists Sept. II.

It's not like these terrorists stood up and said, "Hey, America, we don't like you. Change or we'll run terrorists in your elections until we have the executive, legislative, and judi- cial branches under control Then we'll change your democ- racy to fit our views." Nope, they didn't say that. They just killed 6,000 people to gel that message across.

These peace protesters really must not understand the severi- ty of our times. I feel their protesting is a great injustice to our country and the 6,000 peo-

ple killed in this act of pure hate on America Sure they say they're patriotic, they say they love America, her freedoms and liberties, and her way of life, but I just can't believe it. How do you let something like Sept. 11 slide? I low do you let these anthrax scares slide? If for some god-awful reason we did let these events slide, what would happen to America next?

Although I respect the right to choose peace, I'd rather support our President, our Congress, our military, our great country, the American dream, and the 90 percent or so of Americans who support this war effort to pre- serve the way of life we know and enjoy. You can stand for peace, but 111 stand up and by for my country. And for the rest of you Americans who support this war effort, it's about time we exercised our first amendment rights and stood up and spoke out about what we believe. I encourage all of you to stop by the Education building steps today to sign the College Republicans banner supporting America's troops. God bless this great country!

Patriotism a hot seller on music store shelves; more benefit CDs coming

by Nekesa Mumbi Moody IHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Americans are showing their patriotism in record stores.

God Bless America, an album featuring Celine Dion's much- praised rendition of the song, is the nation's best-selling album, according to figures released yes- terday.

The disc, which Columbia Records touts as "a collection of songs of hope, freedom and inspiration." also includes I-'rank Sinatra's "America the Beautiful." Mariah Carey's "Hero." Tramaine Hawkins' "Amazing Grace" and Pete Seeger's "This I.and Is Your Land."

The album sold 180,984 copies in its first week to debut at No. 1 on Billboard's top 200 album charts.

And it's not the only patriotic hit on the charts.

The re-release of Whitney Houston's "The Star-Spangled Banner" is a best-selling single, and Lee Greenwood's American Patriot album sales have surged based on the popularity ofhis 17- year-old hit, "God Bless the U.S.A."

"It's hard to think of a time in the last 20 to 30 years where there has been such a wide embrace of patriotism," said Geoff Mayficld. charts director at Billboard mag- azine.

Not only has patriotic music surged in popularity, but also contemplative, inspirational tunes.

New Age singer Enya's Day Witlwut Rain, which had been out for almost a year before the attacks and was No. 20 before Sept. 11, is now the nation's No. 2 album. The spike in sales has been fueled by the popularity of her "Only Time," which some radio stations put in heavy rota- tion in the days after the attacks.

"It kind of became the song to soothe after all that ugliness," said Mayfield.

"If radio is doing what radio is supposed to do, it will reflect a change of mood," he added. "And certainly there has been a change of mood as a result of what hap- pened that day."

Besides Enya, others who have seen their songs soar after the attacks include Enrique Iglesias ("Hero") and Five For Fighting ("Superman").

John Ondrasik, who consti- tutes the one-man act Five For Fighting, said even before the attacks, he saw that the song had been used by people going through their own particular cri- sis

What has made the song par- ticularly relevant now, he says, is that so many of us saw "ordinary people that we walk by every day ... perform superhuman feats, so we saw the best in ourselves"

"So I think that's why people are using 'Superman' to pay trib- ute to these unbelievable peo- ple," said Ondrasik, whose debut album is titled America Town.

Another song moving up the charts is "What's Going On," an all-star remake of Marvin Gaye's classic that originally was intend- ed to benefit Africa's famine vic- tims, but now also is benefiting the terror attack victims.

More benefit albums are on the way — a double-disc set of last week's all-star Concert for New York, featuring Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, the Who, Billy loel and others is scheduled for release next month.

Also on tap: Michael lackson's

"What More Can I Give," a "We Are the World"-type song, lackson sang it last weekend at the United We Stand benefit in Washington.

Both the God Bless America disc and the Houston single have allocated some or all of their pro- ceeds toward charities tied to the terrorist attacks. The Houston song has raised $1 million so far, an Arista Records spokeswoman said.

The renewed interest in the genre is encouraging to singer lames Rogers, who has been singing such songs for years.

"Now, they seem to be more receptive, whereas before, they would play them on Fourth of July or Memorial Day or Veterans - Day," said Rogers, whose new album is titled Bed, Wliite and Beautiful.

Rogers hopes the interest won't be fleeting

"I think it's a good thing that we're feeling proud of who we are and what we are," he said. "But it is bad that it took a national tragedy for it to happen."

BG NEWS ENTERTAINMENT UPDATES

Dean's high school might see repairs

FAIRMOUNT, Ind. (AP) — An Indianapolis construction firm is exploring the possibili- ty of buying and renovating James Dean's former high school.

Don Buchanan of Stenz Construction Co. told The Herald Bulletin of Anderson that any project would need support from the public and financing from a combination

of private investors and public donations.

"We're looking to see what makes sense financially," he said Monday. "It's a major, major risk right now" because of the building's deterioration.

Stenz Construction would not raze the building because of its historic value, he said.

The high school was built in 1898, according to the Historic landmarks Foundation of Indiana, and has been empty since 1986.

The structure was named this year to the Historic Landmarks Foundation's 10 Most Endangered List of Hoosier landmarks.

California Raisins make a comeback

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — The Dancing Raisins are doing an encore.

After a seven-year hiatus, the Fresno-based California Raisin Marketing Board is

putting the commercials back on television.

The claymation raisins are dancing to the same tune but will only be seen on the Food Network.

In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, the award-winning commercials set to "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" aired on network television.

The revived raisins are part of a print and television cam- paign to encourage people to eat and cook with raisins.

Falcons predicted to finish third in MAC

CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Bowling Green State University women's basket- ball team has been predicted to finish third in the Mid- American Conference's East Division, according to the league's preseason poll. The poll was announced Wednesday (Oct. 24) by the conference office. Voting for the poll was conducted by members of the MAC News Media Association.

The league held its annual media day at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Cleveland. Kent State and Toledo were picked to win the East and West Divisions, respectively, BGSU first-year head coach Curt Miller and senior Francine Miller attended the gathering in Cleveland. The latter Miller was one of five MAC student-athletes in attendance as members of the preseason all-conference team.

The Falcons garnered a total of 184 votes in the poll, to fin- ish behind KSU (307 pts.) and Miami (269 pts). Buffalo, Ohio, Marshall and Akron rounded out the East Division picks. Curt Miller inherits a team that went 11-18 overall and 6-10 in the MAC last sea- son. A total of 11 Ictterwin- ners, including three starters, return from that team, brief goes here.

JIM LITKE

The Associated Press

i He stood on the top step of the visiting dugout transfixed, his eyes mournfully tracking the arc of another baseball about to dis- appear over the left-field wall of Yankee Stadium.

When it did, Lou Piniella stuffed both hands deep in the pockets of a windbreaker with "Mariners" embroidered across the front, plopped down on the bench and let his chin sink into his chest.

Piniella had seen moments like that often enough from the dugout on the other side to know what they meant. These Yankees, like the Yankee baliclubs Piniella joined as a player a quarter-cen- tury ago, never let a team get back up off the mat in the post- season, not even a team coming off 116 wins in one of the most magical regular seasons ever.

There were still six innings left, but Bernie Williams' two-run homer gave New York a 4-0 lead, and Piniella knew this American League championship series was over. Everything he did after that — the nervous gum-chewing, the long walks to the mound, the late-game substitutions — was just a manager going through the motions. And it hardly lifted his mood that the Mariners, who led the AL in every offensive catego- ry that mattered, went down 12- 3 Monday night with very little fight.

"The amazing thing about baseball is that no matter how many games you win, unless you win it all, you're going to face dis- appointment," he said.

The thing people are going to remember most about the Mariners' second straight ALCS surrender to the Yankees is the "guarantee."

After losing the first two games at home, Piniella walked into the interview room and didn't wait for a question.

"We've gone to New York and beat this team five out of six times. We're going to do it again," he said, almost spitting out each word. "We will be back here for Game 6. lust print it."

Instead, the scene of so many of Piniella's triumphs as a player was transformed, for the second straight year, into a house of pain. In the bottom of the eighth, a Yankee Stadium crowd that once serenaded Piniella with

BOWLING GREEN STAIE UNIVERSITY

Soccer in desperate situation by Joe! Hammond THE BG NEKS

Journalists aren't supposed to use cliches in their writing, but if ever there were an appropriate time for one to be used, that time is now.

Bowling Green's women's soc- cer team is in "dire straits" at this crucial point in the season; one might say they face two "must- win" situations this weekend, as they host Kent State Friday and travel to Miami (OH) Sunday.

The Falcons' four-game losing streak, all in Mid-American Conference play, has them on the end of their rope, trying to tie a knot and hang on for the last three games of the year. They are in danger of missing the MAC tournament after advancing all the way to the finals in last year's tournament.

Thus, the reason for the cliches. Friday's game against Kent State will be the final time the Falcons play at Mickey Cochrane Field in 2001, and pos- sibly the last game with any real meaning for the Falcons.

With BG standing 12th in the MAC right now, the Falcons vir- tually have to win their last three games. The top eight teams make the tournament, and Toledo is currently eighth with 13 points. Toledo plays Akron (0-9 in MAC play) in its last confer- ence game of the season. With the win, the Rockets will have 16 points; the Falcons, currently with seven points, would have 16 points with three wins, and would tie for eighth with the Rockets. The two teams tied on Sept. 9,2-2 in overtime.

This scenario discounts the

other three teams in front of the Falcons in the standings, two of whom the Falcons play: Kent and Ball State.

Kent comes into Friday's game at 3-7 in MAC play, and tied for 10th in the conference. The Flashes lost to Eastern Michigan Friday, 2-1, and dropped an overtime decision to Central Michigan on Sunday, 1-0.

"Kent is tough," said head coach Andy Richards. "They defeated us last year when they had nothing to play for, and clearly, this year, they have a lot to play for. We've got to control thi' midfield against them, and hope our strikers can do what they do best."

Miami is currently in a four-

Recruiting: the first step by Craig Gilford t H E BC NEWS

On the field, Bowling Green competes with larger schools such as Ohio State University and The University of Michigan. However, the battle with these schools does not begin on the field, it begins with the recruiting process.

"Recruiting is an ongoing process," said iohn Bowers, recruiting coordinator and linebacker coach for the foot- ball team. "You research so you can make an educated decision and bring in the right player."

Some perspective students will turn down offers from Bowling Green to play at big- ger universities.

"Really that's what we're fighting off there," said Jay Harris, head coach of the men's tennis team. "As a coach, as a recruiter, you have to be a salesman," Harris said. "I usually tell the kids you can come here and be nationally ranked or go to a Big 10 school and go 2 -8. We're playing at (he top of our conference and we're fighting for a conference title."

Other coaches use similar methods to win the recruit- ment battle over the larger area schools

"We try to sell the fact that at Bowling Green you'll be a name more than a number," said Buddy Powers, head coach of the men's hockey team. "You won't be in a class with four hundred to five hun- dred students."

While the basic recruiting process includes talking to perspective students through letters and personal visits, many coaches have their own methods of persuasion.

Sacred sleep finally for football team by Nick Hum THE BG MEWS

Pop culture and the Bowling Green football team are on the same page.

There is a Snickers candy bar commercial that may describe the Falcon gridders scenario perfectly. In the commercial, an enthusiastic coach gives a spir- ited talk to his team. "First we're going gel changed," the coach yells. "Then were going to get on the bus. Then were going to go home. Then we're going to take a nap." The battered football players get more enthusiastic with each proclamation by their coach.

Believe it or not, as BG was

running off the field after its 16- 11 win over Akron Saturday, the Falcons were celebrating more than their victory — they were celebrating their chance to take a nap.

"All of them kept yelling, 'We finally get to sleep!" said BG coach Urban Meyer. "It's amaz- ing what motivates kids."

The Falcons earned their much-needed rest seven games into the season sporting a 5-2 record. Injuries become an epi- demic as the season progresses and BG has its fair share of wounded soldiers.

Quarterback Andy Sahm is nursing a hip pointer injury. BG's other offensive weapon at

quarterback, sophomore Josh Harris, is a few steps slower with an ankle injury. Meyer, who came in as a coach with offen- sive firepower in his game plan, may have to put some more lighter fluid in his playbook to make up for even more offen- sive injuries. Gamebreakers Joe Alls (runningback) and David Bautista (receiver) have been nursing ankle and knee injuries the past couple of games.

"We were a very wounded football team going into Akron," Meyer said. "Y/e saw a bunch of kids play their hearts out. That was probably one.of the best effort games we have played all season."

"1 told all of the coaches and players that we should see absolute, complete exhaustion by the time we get back to the bye week." Meyer continued. "1 know how to rest a team. We'll be the most rested team in I-A by the time we get to M'ami."

The bye this week couldn't have come at a better time for the Falcons to take their naps. Next week the Falcons will be in for a battle with a home bout against Miami. The Falcon- RedHawk rivalry has always lived up to its name with some classic battles over the years. Miami was the one team that

Swimmers look for further success

by Joe Ferrone THE BC NEWS

Both the men and women's swimming teams came out of last weekend's meets with victo- ries. This was the first home match of the season for both teams.

The men's team defeated Wayne State 133 to 103. They A i, won 7 of the 11 events in the competition. The women's team was also successful in defeating Wayne State. They did so by a score of 154 to 87. They won 10 of the 13events.

"We were excited about the meet and 1 think we did well as a team," said senior captain Kevin Anderson said. "We were fortu- nate to come out with a win."

Leading the men's team was Adam Brown. He won two events in the meet, the 50-yard freestyle, with a time of 22.88 seconds, and the 100-yard freestyle, in which he had a time of 50.16. Ray Bartel took the 100- yard 1:01.07. Robert McRae also grabbed the Falcons a first place finish when he won the 100-yard fly.

"We're not where we want to be yet, but were taking this week to get there," Anderson said. We'll be ready when it comes time for Eastern Michigan and Toledo."

The Falcons swept Wayne State in the relay races. Paul Bizzarre, Bartel, Anderson, and Tom Mohlman won the 200- yard medley race for BG team.

The Falcons also took the 200- yard freestyle. Participating in that victory were Brown, McRae, Anderson, and Mohlman.

"We're a close-knit team," Anderson said. "We are all friends and we encourage and motive well. That's the best thing you can do for your team."

The women's team also domi- nated Wayne State. Leading the way were sophomores lessie Humes and lillian Coward. They both won both of the events they entered in. Humes won the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 8:39.07. She also won the 500- meter freestyle with a 5:23.88. Coward's victories came in the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard fly. She finished the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:01.29. Her time for the 100- yard fly was 1:01.91.

Other winners for the Bowling Green women's team were senior Kim Moden, who won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 25.46, and Sarah Agnew, who won the who won the 100-yard breaststrqke with a time of 1:11.87.

began chanting "No Game 6! No Game 6!" '

6!" Suffice it to say the last really

good day he had in the joint was "Lou Piniella Day" — 17 years ago.

He left town five years after that, tired of spinning on owner George Steinbrenner's employ- ment carousel. He was a coach for the organization, a manager twice (succeeding Billy Martin both times), its general manager, a special adviser and TV broad- caster.

Piniella was bom in Tampa, Fia., and he began his playing career in earnest in Kansas City. But he quickly became a New York guy who endeared himself to a tough town by wringing everv ounce of talent out of him- self. '

During 11 seasons as a player with the Yankees, stretching into the mid- 1980s, he was a second- tier star on four World Series teams, but he held on until he was 40, outlasting all the higher- priced talent. He was a hothead, well known for destroying water coolers and coffee pots after bad at-bats, but nobody ever doubted he cared.

Piniella carried that intensity to his next job, managing in Cincinnati. He pushed the 1990 Reds to the first-wire-to-wire reg- ular-season championship in NT. history, followed by a surprising sweep of Oakland in the World Series.

But he tired of erratic owner Marge Schott even faster than he

tired of Steinbrenner, and by 1993 he found himself working in Seattle. The plan was to infuse a mediocre franchise with some of the fire Piniella brought to the Yankee teams of his heyday.

"We put together a multiyear plan. The first goal was to get into the playoffs in three years, and we are," Mariners president Chuck Armstrong recalled. "But even as we started being successful, I had the feeling Lou still had New York in his system. I remember telling him once, 'You get your paycheck from us, but you're still a Yankee."'

Yet Piniella never had a prob- lem transferring his energy, as well as his loyalty, to the other coast. He had no choice. The Mariners lost stars Randy lohnson, Ken Griffey and Alex Rodriguez on his watch, leaving Piniella to fashion a champi- onship contender out of players like himself.

Maybe that's what made this loss to the Yankees tougher than the ones in 1996 and last year — the knowledge that New York, with deeper pockets, tougher pitching and a pinstriped mys- tique no one has been able to shred, is still that little bit better. There was some consolation, though.

"The one thought that did come to my mind strangely enough is this city had suffered a lot and let out a lot of emotion," Piniella said. "I felt good for them. I really did."

Juan is definitely gone by PAUL SINGER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Retooling a division-winner that had its season end once again in disappointment, the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday declined to renew the options on slugger luan Gonzalez and pitcher Dave Burba

Incoming general manager Mark Shapiro also indicated the club's future will probably not include reliever John Rocker or centerfielder Kenny Lofton. Manager Charlie Manuel was offi- cially retained, but three members of his staff, including pitching coach Dick Pole, were let go.

Gonzalez signed a one-year contract last year for $10 million and his rights could have been retained for 2002 for $ 14 million.

"The magnitude of a Juan Gonzalez contract — or any other high-dollar free-agent— is not a realistic acquisition for the Cleveland Indians," Shapiro said.

Instead, the outfieldei — who hit 35 home runs and drove in 140 runs while batting 325 this season — will become a free agent. The club and Gonzalez had the option to back out of the second year of the contract.

Gonzalez, 32, signed to replace Manny Ramirez after he left for Boston, came to Cleveland after one year in Detroit and 11 with Texas. With 397 career homers, he provided a power-hitting strong- man in the middle of the lineup.

"Very clearly, the lineage of Alben Belle, Manny Ramirez, luan Gonzalez is over," Shapiro said, referring to three sluggers who have roamed the Indians outfield over the past decade.

Owner Larry Dolan said Cleveland's cost-cutting moves return the Indians to the strategy of maintaining a balance between veterans and homegrown players moving up from the farm system.

That stategy built a perennial contender after decades of futility. The Indians have not won a Worid Series since 1948.

"But by the end of the 2000 sea- son, it was clear the team had moved from its successful strategy by assembling a team composed almost entirely of veteran players," he said.

Dolan and Shapiro said the

Associated Press Photos

team's new strategy is to reduce reliance on high-priced veterans and homerun hitters, invest heavi- ly in the farm system and empha- size strong pitching and funda- mentals.

Manuel said he is ready for the challenge of fielding a team that has to manufacture runs through strategy rather than wait for home runs.

"If we have to play small ball, lit- tle ball, whatever you call it — hit- and-run, steal Bases, take more chances—that's what we'll have to do," Manuel said.

"I'm excited about it, really, and if we win enough games, I think that can be real exciting for the fans, too."

Lofton, who hit a career-low .261 in his 10th year with the team, will likely also become a free agent during the offseason.

"It's unlikely we'll be able to retain Kenny Lofton here," said Shapiro, who takes over the Indians GM job from k>hn Han.

Lofton, 34, has been the team's starting centerfielder since 1992, except for one year he spent with the Atlanta Braves in 1997.

Shapiro said he hopes the team can sign a new deal with closer Bob Wickman, which would make controversial closer Rocker

CLEANING HOUSE: Above, former Cleveland Indians' Juan Gonzalez watches his solo home run on Oct. 13, 2001, in Cleveland. Right, Indians owner Larry Dolan answers questions during a news conference, Wednesday, Oct. 24,2001, in Cleveland. The Indians said Wednesday that they will not bring Gonzalez back next sea- son in a moneysaving move, making one of baseball's top run producers a free agent.

expendable. Rocker was one of the top reliev-

ers in the National League when the Indians got him in a trade with Atlanta in My. However, he pitched poorly for the Indians and was involved in several conflicts with fans and teammates.

He had just four saves in. a Cleveland uniform, to go with a 3- 7 record and a 5.45 ERA.

Burba, 35, who was in double figures in wins each of his four sea- sons in Cleveland, began the 2001 season in the starting rotation but struggled all season and was moved to the bullpen late in the summer. He finished the year with a 10-10 record and 621 ERA.

Abo released was veteran reliev- er Scott Radinsky.

The club did pick up the option on reliever Ricardo Rincon, who appeared in a career-high 67 games and posted a 2.83 ERA,

The Indians picked up Manuel's contract option and also announced that bench coach Grady Little, third base coach Joel Skinner and bullpen coach Luis Isaac had been asked back.

Pole, along with hitting coach Clarence lones and first base-out- field coach Ted Uhlaender, were all dismissed.

The Indians blew a 2-1 lead and lost their best-of-five AL playoff series against the Seattle Mariners.

way lie for second place in the MAC standings, and will have a big impact upon the last spot, playing Ball State and BG this weekend. The RedHawks enter the Sunday's game at 7-2 in the MAC, and could end up hosting the eighth seed in the first round. Miami is led by juniors Andrea Cunningham (11G-25 points) and Danielle Berkemeier (8G-24 points).

"Wc were hoping to work it out so we wouldn't need a result against Miami," Richards said. "They are a very talented team, but, as it stands, we very much need a win against them. We need to play our best ball these three weeks."

Kickoff Friday is set for 3 p.m.

women's team swept the relay races from Wayne State. Winning the 200-yard medley race for the Falcons was the team of Alicia Coburn, Alissa Davies, Kelli Pydynowski and Moden. They finished the event with a time of 1:41.31. The team of Moden, Coward, Alissa Davies, and Humes won the 200-yard freestyle relay. They finished the event with a time 1:42.99.

Next up on the Falcons' sched- ule is a conference match up against Toledo and Eastern Michigan. This will be the Falcons' first conference meet of the season.

Bengals question kicker's ability

school level. "We look for kids (hat are athlet-

ic and haven't fully developed yet," he said. "One of our keys is our ability to develop guys."

One reason that the tennis team uses this method Harris said is because he realizes that the University is necessarily as attrac- tive to students as a larger universi-

ty "You just have to look hard to

find that kid who has that edge, ability and right game that will develop in college," he said.

Recruiting at the University does not begin and end in Ohio. According to Bowers, the football team has nine coaches that recruit at about 1,500 high schools nationwide,

"Each coach has a list of fifty players that they recruit," he said. "By the end of the recruitment process we bring in 20-25 players a year."

Last years tennis team included players from Seattle, New York. Canada and Europe.

"The population of kids we recruit is so huge," Harris said. "Vtfe're just recruiting kids all over the wortd now that we've gotten into the national rankings."

Although finding athletes who

can perform well on the field is important to coaches during the recruitment process, performance in the classroom is just as impor- tant to them.

"We realize that Bowling Green is a competitive school and we want to bring in guys who can compete in the classroom," Bowers said.

Denise Van De While, head vol- leyball coach, said she recruits stu- dents out of high school who had at least a 3.0 GPA and performed well on the SAT and ACT.

"I think academics are very important It's a key component in my recruiting process," she said. "I like to have kids that have already proven they can be successful in the classroom and on the court"

According to Harris, the tennis team is helped out more if the stu- dents they recruit are able to per- form well in the classroom.

"We only have four and a half scholarships," he said. "If we get students in who already have aca- demic scholarships its a huge advantage for us."

The ability to think in the class- room usually carries over to the court, Harris said.

"Tennis is definitely a thinking mans game. If a kid is smart in the classroom they will usually be smart on the court," he said.

Neil Rackets went out with his wife to relax on Tuesday night and soon realized he was the topic of discussion among the other patrons.

What he overheard wasn't very nice.

It wasn't long before the embat- tled Cincinnati Bengals kicker got up and headed home with his wife. It's no fun being the talk of the town.

"I've been better," Rackets said Wednesday, walking off the prac- tice field after a near-perfect ses- sion. "I used to be able to go out and get a beer with my wife, but I can't really do that in peace any more."

That's what happens when a kicker misses half his field goal attempts and the team is conduct- ing tryouts for his replacement The Bengals invited kickers laret Holmes, VitaJy Pisetsky and Ion Hilbert for tryouts Tuesday, but wound up signing a comerback instead.

That doesn't mean Rackers is safe. After a game next Sunday in Detroit, the Bengals have their bye week — usually the time that a team changes quarterbacks or kickers, if it's so inclined.

Rackers, a sixth-round draft pick last year, wasn't surprised that the team brought in other kickers for a look. He doesn't know how much time he has left to get himself straightened out

"It depends on how things go," he said. "I don't know. 1 don't have an answer for that. If 1 go out and do my job, I'm here. If I don't, prob- ably not The way I look at it is it's in my hands"

That's the way coach Dick LeBeau sees it, too.

Although Rackers has missed six of his last nine field goal attempts, he has done a good job getting his kickolls deep Six of his 20 kJckoBs have gone for touchbacks. and the Bengals are third-best in the AFC at bottling up opponents on kick- offs.

"He's going to have to fight his way through it," LeBeau said. "We'll do everything we can to help him. That is the ideal solution for us. But at the same time, we will look around for other options."

Rackers replaced Doug Pelfrey last season, but made only 12of21 field goal attempts. In two seasons, Rackers is 18-of-33 overall. From 30 yards and beyond, he's 1 l-of-25.

Several factors figure into those numbers. The chewed-up grass at Paul Brown Stadium made it tough for any kicker to make a field goal last season. This year, the Bengals changed holders at the end of training camp, replacing punter Daniel Pope with Nick Harris.

Some of Brad St Louis' snaps have been off-target and it's been difficult for Harris to get the ball down quickly and cleanly. Rackers has taken the brunt of it, getting booed loudly in his home stadium.

Harris is trying to help Rackers relax.

"There's a tot of pressure on him now," Harris said. "You try to just get him not to worry about it. We go golfing, hang out and talk a little bit here and there."

Rackers is fine in practice. He made 18 of 20 field goal attempts Wednesday, kicking one ball after another to the same spot.

I le's frustrated that he can't carry

Associated Press Ptioto

THE LONELY KICKER: Cincinnati Bengals kicker Neil Rackers (5) looks at holder Nick Harris (8) after Rackers missed a 39-yard field goal in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears, last week. Chicago won the game 24-0. Rackers has been under much scruti- ny this season missing half of his field goal attempts. The Bengals brought five possible replacements in for tryouts this week.

that success over to games. It both- ers him that his wife has to hear the criticism when they go out. Otherwise, Rackers thinks he's handling things just fine.

"I don't know if I'm too stupid and just don't think about it," he said. "1 just go back to work. I'm thickheaded —- in one ear, out the other."

gave even the legendary Falcon coach Doyt Perry some trouble. Perry, who had an amazing 77-11- 5 record at BG over 10 seasons, was 3-5-2 against the team from Oxford.

"We're going to need every ounce of preparation we can to get ready to play Miami," Meyer said "Their record proves that if they're not the best team in the MAC East, then Miami and Marshall are the lop two."
