Reese starved and dehydrated himself over several days, exercising hard Dec. 9 before collapsing and dying in a 92-degree room while trying to qualify for the 150-pound weight class. According to an autopsy report, Jeff Reese suffered kidney failure and heart malfunction while wearing a rubber suit during a two-hour workout while trying to lose 12 pounds in a single day.
Reese's father said Bahr gave his son little warning that he would need to diet and exercise down from 174 pounds to 153 pounds, the maximum allowed for wrestling in the 150-pound class. Reese had not wrestled at the 150-pound weight class all fall. He was moved to that level after the mother of another wrestler told Bahr she didn't want her son dieting down to 150 pounds, according to the university report released last week. The Free Press said it could not reach Bahr to comment. The investigative report obtained by the Free Press under a Freedom of Information Act request also said: A university phone near the tmnifi niLiinns Young country singer Spriet found shot to death BAKER CITY, Ore.
An 18-year-old country music singer honored in Nashville as "young performer of the year" has been found dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Presley Wayne Spriet's wound "was either self-inflicted or caused by an accident," said Baker County district attorney Gregory Baxter. Spriet, who sang under the name Presley Wayne, recorded "I Can't See Me Without You" and "She Gives It All to Me" both remakes of songs that country-western singer Conway Twitty recorded. Both recordings topped country-western independent charts. When named "young performer of the year" at an Academy of Independent Recording Artists Award Show in 1996, he had beaten out a field of 60,000 performers.
Spriet's body was found by family members on Thursday a short distance from his home along Marble Creek, in the foothills of the 1 fclfTWHTtOlV NOW SHOWING CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS FOR SHOW TIMES flMI HOVTS ARNOT MALL 10 HORSEHEADS 739-3533 A-v.

Iraci has said the city would have to apply for funding aid in the next several months. Legg Mason will share study results with council members, probably in February, and then with the public soon.
"The more people know about it and the benefits to the community and the need for this, the better," Iraci said. "It's not a silver bullet, but of all the potential ways to bring some excitement and a destination point for downtown that's going to fill a market need, this is the project. "I don't know of any others that would have the impact this one would." Building a civic center downtown would be one of the larger projects the city has ever undertaken, Iraci said. It could be financed with a federal Housing and Urban Development loan of up to $8.7 million that the city recently closed on, he said, and other funding options are being explored. City leaders and others believe the project would be worth the expense if a center revitalizes Elmira.
Charlanow said she's discussed the idea with other merchants and customers, and most support a center if it would be profitable. The first phase of the feasibility study looked at Elmira having a arena with two ice rinks, meeting and office areas, training and locker facilities, an arcade, pro shop and concession areas. Elmira would need to hold 12 shows or concerts per year and rent ice space to break even or make a profit, according to David Eyl, a senior associate for Legg Mason. The final phase of the study will weigh potential profit with project financing, and will include site location, management and design considerations. Charlanow's barbershop sits on one of at least two sites being considered for the Elmira center.
It's bounded by North Main Street, West Gray Street, West Water Street and College Avenue.

Owner Melinda Vondracek said she supports a civic center and would move to another downtown location if one is is built.
A second possible location is 3.5 acres and is bounded by West Water Street, North Main Street, Market Street and the Conrail train tracks. A task force of city and private representatives has been examining the possibility of a center since March. City leaders hope that results of the final study will move the plan ahead. "My sense is that the council does seem to be very much in favor of the project," Hughes said. "They do have some important questions that need to be answered but beyond that component, I think council is very receptive." Those questions focus on what the project's impact would be on city finances, whether it would be a burden to taxpayers and funding concerns, Hughes said.
Many council members want to build a center if financing is in order, said Councilman David W. Brown, R-lst. "Everyone is in agreement that they would like to see the civic center project move on," Brown said. Councilman Ken Brooks, R-2nd, said he is concerned about statistics that indicate 80 percent of similar civic centers operate in the red, but he said the proposed Elmira project could be a major attraction if prop-, erly planned. "I'm hoping the facility could be multipurpose used for ice skating and hockey, indoor soccer, conventions, special events and things of that nature," Brooks said.
"It could be an extraordinary project that could breathe new life into the downtown if we do our homework right," he said. "If we dot all our I's and cross all our T's, this thing could be a grand slam." Free 2 Hr.
