To all employees:

Please read the attached letter from Bob Dickey, president of Gannett's U.S. Community Publishing division.

I will be working with department heads to determine what the ultimate impact at *The Star* will be. At this early stage, I'm guessing that we could be eliminating up to 95 positions, hopefully less.

This is very difficult news to share, but our economic outlook demands it.

In the meantime, we are working on new strategies to help reverse the trends.

If you have any questions, please let me know."
