MIDDLEPORT Middleport Village Council will allow· the Big Bend Youth Football League to use part of the old high school building now that the village has leased the elementary school building to a private business. , Last mm)th, council voted to allow James Taylor of Old Glory Auctions to lease a portion of the Pearl Street elementary building for his business. Representatives of the football league, which had leased a portion of the elementary school for storage, activities and fundraising activities, voiced objection Monday evening to the village's lease of the dementary building without notifying the league. The village has allowed the league to use the school with an understanding that the lease could be canceled if · the school was .needed for, vi llage use. League President David Jenkins said the league understood that meant the lease would only be· terminated in the event the village itself needed to use the property, as a jail and village hall, for example. . League leaders emphasized the number of children, parents and friends the league's fall games bring into the village, and the positive economic impact the activity has on local retail businesses. Taylor also noted that liis business brings traffic into the village. The league was responsible only for utilities' in the elementary buil_ding. Taylor will pay $600 a month for use of the elementary school 's gymnasium a·nd some classroom space. Council President Stephen Houchins and other council members cited the village's nee(j for income in allowing the private business to lease the school. but Houchins said the decision may have been made too quickly.

Let 's see, the Nets or Shaq. D-Wade and the defending champtons? That's a slam dunk. " It's critical to get the No 2 seed," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. " I want to win as man_y games and be seeded as high as possible. If you don' t, It's sttll not the end of the world. You still have to beat some good teams to get where you want to jlO." 111' the Cavaliers Intend to latch the Bulls, who also have an edge in tiebreakers, and avmd the Heat. they can't afford to lose any of their final four games, beginning with a matchup at home against New Jersey on Thursday After facing the Nets in a possible playoff preview, the Cavs will host Atlanta on Saturday before playing at AP photo Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James makes a face tate tn the fourth quarter of thetr 88-82 loss to the Detrott Ptstons tn a basketball game Sunday tn Auburn Hills, Mtch. Philadelphia on Apnl 17 and The hard way seems to be fimshing up the following the only way the Cavaliers night with a home ·game know. against Milwaukee Other than an etght-game It's the equtvalent of a wmning streak last monrh, four-game series, and they the Cavaliers have been need to wm every one. wildly inconsistent since "The only way we can get November.

If we don't get James found htmself tsolat(the No. 2 seed), we'll have ed with the ball at the top of to do it the hard way." the key. Brown's strategy m these situations is' to take advantage ot James' playmakrng skills to get the best shot posstble. However. what has happened more Urnes than not is that James has been doubleand tnpl e-teamed and hi s teammates have etther stood around and watched or they' ve reacted too slowly to the defense, forcmg Jame s to take tough shuts. James feel s it may be trme to try something new. "When you' re not successfu l at one, play. then you do have to make a change and see rf you can do 1t another way," he satd. "For me. I feel comfortable wherever I am at on the court. " Brown ts most comfortable wtth the ball rn James' hands, but he's also considenng a tweak or two of the half-court set to get others involved "LeBron 's more dangerous wrth the ball. but I've got to make sure that I pue him on the back "s1de of things more thlfh I've been doing," he said. "If he's got the ball on the front side of the play, it makes it easier for the other teams to load up on htm. When we do react, we get great looks. When we don 't and try to make up our own thing, 11 makes it tougher on us and him." As his teani readies for the playoffs, Brown wants the Cavs to tmprove on thetr ball movement, post defense and especially their execution. But as much as anything, he wants these final four games to feel like the playoffs. " I hope m all ot these games there is' that sense of urgency." he satd.

Hamilton, who was out of baseball from 2003-05 as he struggled with cocaine addiction, also homered on Tuesday mght tor hts ftrst big-league hit. The Diamondbacks rallied for a run in the ninth on a two-out Chad Tracy double, but Reds closer David Conor Weathers got Jackson to ground out to short for his third save in three chances. Arizona snapped a sixgame win streak, but at 7-3 the Diamondbacks have matched the fastest I 0game start in the franchise's 10-year history.

It's kind of the same technique they' ll use in this regard " Oden ts almost a lock to be taken No. I , despite the presence of another sterling freshman , Texas' Kevin Durant, who announced Tuesday that he'll move on to the 'pros. Oden's size, defenstve abtllty, mobtllty and athleticism are a rare combo for someone who stands 7 feet tall and is barely 19 years old. All three Ohto State players are in the process of tihng paperwork wtth the NBA tn determine how much mterest there is. In the case of Oden, teams are sallvatmg to get htm. Conley, a qutck and cerebral pomt guard, had a terrific NCAA tournament and greatly improved his stature in the eyes of scouts 'Cook only started one game and was seeing a decrease m playing time in the last few games because he was in a shooting slump. "They obviously know we want them to stay and they 'd greatly help the makeup of our team next year," said backup center Mau Terwilliger. "But it's hard to tell someone to walk away from that much money." Matta said money tsn' t the motivation for some players. "Money IS one thing, memories are another," he said. "A lo! ot people would rather have great memories." Oden ts a bnght kid who enjoys college, Matta ,said, and anyone who says he's a lock to take the millions and run doesn't know him "Every kid ts drfferent," satd Matta, who added that he wtll not try to talk any players out of leaving. "People write things when they have no tdea of who the person 1s, hts upbnnging, hts family Have you ever played for a nauonal championshtp? Have you ever gone through the selection Sunday show and the rush when 'Ohto State' comes up? To some lcids, that's important." One fan held a sign that said, "Greg and Mike, PLEASE STAY!!" When Oden was tntroduced, the crowd chanted, "One More Year'" That prompted walk -on, seldom-used guard Mark Titus to grab the brggest response of the night. He took the mtcrophone and said, "! heard the fans chantmg 'one more year.' I sat down wtth my famtly and just want to say that I'll be back next year " Hts teammates almost fell out of thetr chairs from laughmg so hard Matta satd he cannot gauge what Oden or Conley wtll .decide.

Let 's see, the Nets or Shaq. D-Wade and the defending champtons? That's a slam dunk. " It's critical to get the No 2 seed," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. " I want to win as man_y games and be seeded as high as possible. If you don' t, It's sttll not the end of the world. You still have to beat some good teams to get where you want to jlO." 111' the Cavaliers Intend to latch the Bulls, who also have an edge in tiebreakers, and avmd the Heat. they can't afford to lose any of their final four games, beginning with a matchup at home against New Jersey on Thursday After facing the Nets in a possible playoff preview, the Cavs will host Atlanta on Saturday before playing at AP photo Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James makes a face tate tn the fourth quarter of thetr 88-82 loss to the Detrott Ptstons tn a basketball game Sunday tn Auburn Hills, Mtch. Philadelphia on Apnl 17 and The hard way seems to be fimshing up the following the only way the Cavaliers night with a home ·game know. against Milwaukee Other than an etght-game It's the equtvalent of a wmning streak last monrh, four-game series, and they the Cavaliers have been need to wm every one. wildly inconsistent since "The only way we can get November. One of their to the second spot is for us to recent problems has been an sweep, and for Chicago to mability to close out games, stumble once," Cavaliers a deficiency that must be center Zydrunas llgauskas fixed if they have any said. "It's a big difference thoughts of making a deep stttmg ftfth and p1aying postseason run. Miam1 and Detroit and Too often, Cleveland's going that way. To wm it all , endgame scenano has fol you have to go through lowed a similar scnpt with everybody eventually.

If we don't get James found htmself tsolat(the No. 2 seed), we'll have ed with the ball at the top of to do it the hard way." the key. Brown's strategy m these situations is' to take advantage ot James' playmakrng skills to get the best shot posstble. However. what has happened more Urnes than not is that James has been doubleand tnpl e-teamed and hi s teammates have etther stood around and watched or they' ve reacted too slowly to the defense, forcmg Jame s to take tough shuts. James feel s it may be trme to try something new. "When you' re not successfu l at one, play. then you do have to make a change and see rf you can do 1t another way," he satd. "For me. I feel comfortable wherever I am at on the court. " Brown ts most comfortable wtth the ball rn James' hands, but he's also considenng a tweak or two of the half-court set to get others involved "LeBron 's more dangerous wrth the ball. but I've got to make sure that I pue him on the back "s1de of things more thlfh I've been doing," he said. "If he's got the ball on the front side of the play, it makes it easier for the other teams to load up on htm. When we do react, we get great looks. When we don 't and try to make up our own thing, 11 makes it tougher on us and him." As his teani readies for the playoffs, Brown wants the Cavs to tmprove on thetr ball movement, post defense and especially their execution. But as much as anything, he wants these final four games to feel like the playoffs. " I hope m all ot these games there is' that sense of urgency." he satd.

Hamilton, who was out of baseball from 2003-05 as he struggled with cocaine addiction, also homered on Tuesday mght tor hts ftrst big-league hit. The Diamondbacks rallied for a run in the ninth on a two-out Chad Tracy double, but Reds closer David Conor Weathers got Jackson to ground out to short for his third save in three chances. Arizona snapped a sixgame win streak, but at 7-3 the Diamondbacks have matched the fastest I 0game start in the franchise's 10-year history. Anzona starter Micah Owings was lookmg for his second victory in as many big league starts. Owings won his debut April 6 at Washington , shutting out the Nationals on one htt over tive inmngs. He was every .bit as dommant for six mnings agamst Cmcmnat1, llmitmg the Reds to four hits and allowing only two baserunr\ers !o advance as far as second base. But Owings (l - 1) finally tired in the seventh as he tned to protecl a 1-0 lead. He gave up a leadoff double to Hamilton, a single to Alex Gonzalez and a tworun double to Valentin. Owmgs had gone 20 straight starts without a loss in Double-A, Triple-A and the majors. The Diamondbacks JUmped ahead 1-0 in the first. Orlando Hudson hit a sacnfice fly to score Stephen Drew, who led off the game with a walk and moved to third on Alberto Callaspo's double. That was all Belisle allowed.

It's kind of the same technique they' ll use in this regard " Oden ts almost a lock to be taken No. I , despite the presence of another sterling freshman , Texas' Kevin Durant, who announced Tuesday that he'll move on to the 'pros. Oden's size, defenstve abtllty, mobtllty and athleticism are a rare combo for someone who stands 7 feet tall and is barely 19 years old. All three Ohto State players are in the process of tihng paperwork wtth the NBA tn determine how much mterest there is. In the case of Oden, teams are sallvatmg to get htm. Conley, a qutck and cerebral pomt guard, had a terrific NCAA tournament and greatly improved his stature in the eyes of scouts 'Cook only started one game and was seeing a decrease m playing time in the last few games because he was in a shooting slump. "They obviously know we want them to stay and they 'd greatly help the makeup of our team next year," said backup center Mau Terwilliger. "But it's hard to tell someone to walk away from that much money." Matta said money tsn' t the motivation for some players. "Money IS one thing, memories are another," he said. "A lo! ot people would rather have great memories." Oden ts a bnght kid who enjoys college, Matta ,said, and anyone who says he's a lock to take the millions and run doesn't know him "Every kid ts drfferent," satd Matta, who added that he wtll not try to talk any players out of leaving. "People write things when they have no tdea of who the person 1s, hts upbnnging, hts family Have you ever played for a nauonal championshtp? Have you ever gone through the selection Sunday show and the rush when 'Ohto State' comes up? To some lcids, that's important." One fan held a sign that said, "Greg and Mike, PLEASE STAY!!" When Oden was tntroduced, the crowd chanted, "One More Year'" That prompted walk -on, seldom-used guard Mark Titus to grab the brggest response of the night. He took the mtcrophone and said, "! heard the fans chantmg 'one more year.' I sat down wtth my famtly and just want to say that I'll be back next year " Hts teammates almost fell out of thetr chairs from laughmg so hard Matta satd he cannot gauge what Oden or Conley wtll .decide.

Thai is applica~e to bridge players. Many, when an opponent is laking his time lo decide on his next move, stare off inlo space, perhaps thinking about whal IIley will do aner the game ends, or tomorrow. But !hey should be .concenlrating_on loday-lhedeal thai IIley are playing. Use an opponent's lllinking lime to do some oounling and card placing.
