Y;~nkees Maddux was 16-11 with a 3.96 ERA last season for Atlanta. He's posted at least 15 wins for I{> straight years, and is only 11 victories shy of 300. Meanwhile, the New York Mets made light of the Yankees' big move and the Boston Red Sox tried to poohpooh it. Still, it was hard to avoid the . shock wave the Yankees sent through baseball by getting Rodriguez. "A-Rod goes to the Yankees and you sit there and look at that lineup top to bottom," Chicago White Sox closer Billy Koch said. ''The best way to deal with that lineup i"s to be a Yankee pitcher. So you better ask Mr. Steinbrenner to trade for you." Yankees owner George Steinbrenner stayed in Tampa, Fla.; as pitchers and catchers reported to camp. But manager Joe Torre and captain Derek Jeter were at Yankee Stadium, where Rodriguez put on the pinstripes for the first time. The Yankees finalized their Fight from Page 81 sive pressure.

"She's every coach's dream of a point guard, she does so many things well," Adkins said of Pierce. "When they need to s~ore, Eastern from Page 81 well and we didn't play at all early," Edwards recalled. "We can't spot people like that, eSJ?CCially them. They have mce talented guard play."

"We're a little bit different in the last couple of '• trade with Texas this week, and commissioner Bud Selig approved the restructuring of Rodriguez's Gontract. "We haven't won anything yet," Steinbrenner said. "It will be a big spring. It will determine a lot of things down here." "Every year, everybody gets better. Boston is probably the favorite," he said. Some early arrivals at the Red Sox camp in Fort Myers, Fla., played down the Yankees' acquisition. "You dido t want to see ARod go to the Yankees, but just because he's there, we're not scared;" catcher Doug Mirabelli. said. Boston came close to ·getting the AL MVP earlier in the offseason before its proposed deal tor Rodriguez fell through.

Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe said the broker handling the sale of the building has "indicated a' potential buyer has been found, and details are .being worked out to finalize the deal. Varnadoe would not ·say who the prospective buyer was, but was optimistic that the building will not remain vacant for long. OBITUARIES '"1 understand there are details to work out, but we should have good news for the community very shortly," Varnadoe said. The building has been vacant since December, when an employee strike Kroger ended and announced its plims to keep the doors of the Pomeroy, Gallipolis and Gauley Bridge, W.Va. stores ~losed. The building, constructed in the early 1970's, is valued at just over $1 million for tax purposes, according to the tax card on record at the Meigs County Auditor's office. "In my opinion, the build· ing will be occupied by a· grocer by the summer," Varnadoe said. "It appears that we'll have the perfect solution for a very good retail buildin g in a good location. " The Daily Sentinel 992-2155 MIDDLEPORT - In communities with healthy, wellmaintained trees, motorists drive slower and visitors stay longer, according to Sue Bonner. an urban forester with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Bonner works with small communities and urban neighborhoods in selecting and mairrtaining trees. She also helps village workers reduce property liability by showing them how to prune trees in a way that does not threaten the trees' health. She met with Middleport officials, village workers and resi· dents interested in plan.ting trees in the downtown shopping district on Wednesday to discuss the proper selection, planti· ng and care of trees, and even gave a quick lesson in wielding a saw. The Middleport Community Association has pledged to work with the village in planting attractive and easily-main· rained trees in the shopping district and Bonner suggested not one species, but a variety of them for the downtown. "Trees can create a sense of place for people ," Bonner said. "They can also be real hot points in the community when something goes wrong, or when the trees themselves cause problems for property owners."

The proposed 2004 deer hunting regulations were recently pre sented to the Ohio Wildlife. Council. The pro~osal calls for a three-deer limit in 26 southeast and south central counties (Zone C), which includes Meigs, Gallia, Athens, Vinton and Jackson counties.

A.: To determine whether shared parenting is 111 the best interest of the children, the court considers many factors, including: • the parents' ability to cooperate and make joml parenting decisions; • each parent's abihty to encourage contact and the sharing of love with the other parent; • any history of, or potential for, child or spousal abuse or other domestic violence, or parental kidnapping by either parent; • where the parents live in proximity to each other (for practical shared parenting reasons); and • the recommendation of the child's guardian ad litem, if applicable. For cases in which shared parenting is not in the best interests of the children, the court will select a parent (the "residential parent") to have custody of the children. The c'ourt will grant parenting time rights to the other parent. River with both the Pomeroy and Mason approaches showing is on one side of the ornament.

How do you tell partner? You make a two-no-trump Jump overcall - the Unusual No-Trump. (Overcalling one of a minor with two no-trump shows at least 5·5 in the two lowest unbid suits: hearts and the other minor.} This is one of my least favorite conventions! You are competing in the minors when the opponents hold the majors. If you Jose the auction, which is comrflon, you have given their declarer a road map.

Three no-trump is wrong - North is unlikely to win nine quick tricks. Instead , since North will have good suits, espe· cially at the prevailing vulnerability, South should take a shot at five diamonds. This is a strange deal. If West leads the spade king, declarer does best to duck, cutting the defensive communications. II South wins th e lirst trick and plays on trumps, though, East should twice hold up his ace. Then South must resist the temptation to unblo~ the king-jack of clubs. II he does unblock, East will win the third diamond, put his partne ~ · in w~h a spade, and receive a Club ru fl. Bul if declarer calmly leads a third trump. East has no riposte. However, it West leads the heart king, South w1ns and takes two rounds of trumps, East ducking. Now South must unblock his club honors before playing a third trump!

(AP)Ken Griffey Jr. reported to the <;:incinrtati Reds' camp on WCdnesday, getting an early stan in hopes that his season WOI)'t come to another ptematu,re end. · Griffey, 34, dislocated his rjght shoulder while diving for a fly ball in the first week of last season, then returned lind tore a tendon in his right ankle. Both injuries have healed following surgery. The center fielder and five other position players have ~~Cnnission to work out along with pitchers and catchers this week. All six are coming off major injuries that were factprs i.n a 93-loss season. 'Griffey was upbeat on Wednesday when he showed ul' at the Reds' complex. Pttchers and catchers had physicals, and will hold their first workout on Thursday. . · "If I could just get through April or May, I'll be all right," Griffey said. For the last three years, he hasn't even made it to May. Griffey tore a hamstring late in spring training during 200 I , when he was limited to Ill games. He tore a tendon in his right knee whi le rounding third base in the sixth game of the 2002 season. when he appeared in only 70 games. Last year. he hurt his shoulder in the llfth game of the season. He missed 32 games, ret urned and tore up his ankle while rounding a base on July 17. Griffey then had surgery on the shou lder and the ankle. He recentlv started running. and has hit in a batting cage a few ti'mcs without problem. The Reds plan to ease him into workouts during spring ~ training. Outfielders Adam Dunn, Reggie Taylor and Austin Kearns and infielders Brandon Larson and Felipe Lopez also are in camp early to work through their seasonending injuries from 2003. The rest of the position players will have their first workou.t next Tuesday. It will be awhile before Griffey is doing everything fu ll-speed in camp. ''I' ll do some little things," he said. "They say ttiey're going to take it easy on me." Griffey appeared in a career-low 53 games last season, hitting only .247 with 13 homers. He's eager to get back fO playing, but has no special feelings abo~t return"' ing from one of his toughest seasons. "It 's the same," he said. "It's just wanting io get back out there and be with your teammates. Last year was a messed-up year for all of us." '-'udge denies request to dismiss claims in Marshall lawsuit CHARLESTON. W.Va. (AP) - A federal judge has refuse.d to dismiss many of the claims in a lawsuit that accuses Marshall University and several administrators of scapegoating the school's former NCAA athletic compliance director in an attempt to conceal an improper employment scheme for student -athletes. David Ridpath' s lawsuit alleges that he was relieved of his duties as an adjunct professor in the Exercise and Sports Science Department and his future employment was threatened "in an effort to silence Ridpath regarding potential NCAA violations at . MU." On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert J. Staker denied defense motions to dismiss Ridpath's claims of fraud, violation of free speech and due process rights and breach of contract. Staker also rejected the defendants' argument that the federal court had no jurisdiction in the matter, and denied a motion to move the case to Cabell County Circuit Court. : "Dr. Ridpath is very [!leased with the result and looks forward to the opportunity to litigate this case and establish the fact that Marshall University scapegoated Dr. Ridpath for an employment scheme that pre-extsted his presence at the university, and one that h~ - didn't know about," Ridpath's lawyer, - Jason Huber, said Wednesday. The defendants ' lawyers, Charles Bailey and Vaughn T. Sizemore. could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Ridpath was hired as assistant athletic director in charge compliance in 1997. After he reported some academic violations to the NCAA ill 1999, he became aware that some student-athletes were receiving improper employment assistance at the McCorkle Machine Shop in Huntington, which is owned by Mars hall booster Marshall Reynolds, according to the lawsuit. Reynolds was cited by the NCAA in December 2001 for providing extra work benefits for Marshall athletes. The .school was ordered to sever all ties with the Huntington multimillionaire for at least five years. Reynolds has said he was wrongly saddled with most of the blame by the uni versity during the NCAA investi gation. The Daily Sentinel• PageB6 www.mydailysentinel.tom Ridpath's laws uit .alleges that Marshall football coach Bob Pruett and other members of the coaching staff tried to cover up the employment program. Ridpath was reassig ned in 2001 to the position of director of judicial programs, where his pay was increased $15,000 a year more than his predecessor in that job. His position was terminated July 14, 2003, allegedly because of negative comments he made during the NCAA investigation, according to the lawsuit. Staker dismissed Ridpath 's claim for monetary relief against Marshall , and the administrators in their. official capacity, but the judge ruled that damage claims against the administrators as individuals could move forward. The judge also dismi ssed Ridpath's claims of a civil conspiracy and violation of public policy. The defendants are the university; Pruett; Marshall President Dan Angel; Edward Grose, Marshall 's retiring senior vice president of .operations; E Lay ton Cottrill, -.ice president for executive affairs and general counsel; and Richard Hilliard, special NCAA legal counsel. Ridpath originally filed the lawsuit in August 2003, and then amended it in December 2003. Earnhardt ·has a special connection with -his.fans DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - At the moment of the biggest triumph of his blossoming career, Dale . Earnhardt Jr. made sure to spend time connecting with hi s fans. , He drove slowly back around the 2 I/2-mile oval at Daytona International Speedway, waving to fans out the window of his car, then stopped at the finish line to celebrate instead of driving straight to Victory Circle. "I just wanted to shout at the fans, wave at them, hear what they had to say," Earnhardt said. The fans, many of them clad in red and white, the colors on Junior 's No. 8 Chevrolet , Budweiser waved and roared back at their hero after his Daytona 500 win Sunday. And there were plenty of them. He has so many fans, in fact, they've been dubbed by some as Earnhardt's Army. " When· I walk around with Ju11ior, I feel like I'm with Elvis," said Martin Truex, whom · Earnhardt hired to drive the Busch Series car he co-owns with stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. As Earnhardt wins more races and becomes a legitimate star on the track, hi s popularity is ' soaring even outside racing ciTcles. He's showing up in lots of commercials,. on billboards, in MTV videos and documentaries about his life, at rock concerts and in numerous television interviews. This week alone, he went from NBC's "Today" show and ABC's "Regis and Kelly," to sitting <;town with David Letterman. Earnhardt inherited a lot of ·fans from his father when the Intimidator easily the most popular driver of his era in stock car racing - was killed in the 200 I Daytona 500.

According to the documents released Tuesday, Anderson told federal agents he gave steroids to several professional baseball players. It was unclear whether Anderson provided specific names to the federal agents. No players were identified in the documt;nts released at a news conference at the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco, and the only time a player's name was used in the 24 pages of documents it was blacked out.

'"He 's a lot like his daddy," Donovan said. "He's tough and he's a winner." The 29-year-old Earnhardt, who proj ects the image of a quietly confident, hip and hap py -golu c~y young man , admits he is a bit overwhelmed by the attention.

"That just shows you how big an effect and how much impact you can have on one person. And, when you multiply that by so many people, it's really . overwhelming." Earnhardt, a third-generation NASCAR star, considers the adulation a huge responsibility. "When · people pull for you, you .can't go out there and do something foolish and make a fool out of them next to their buddy when they go to work on Monday and they got to hear how you done," he said.

The leachate contains sodium, chloride. ammonia, barium, nitrogen, potassium, zinc, as well as at least two pollutants, strontium and diethylphalate. According to EPA documents, the contamination is due to trees and other vegetation which weakened the landfill's soil cap.

Meigs sheriff's deputy Danny Leonard said these checks look absolutely real because they have t~rmination dates, routing numbers, and embossed. If a counterfeit check slips through the system allowing the victim to cash it and collect the money, the victim is responsible for paying back the value of the check to the bank when the error is detected. Meigs sheriff's deputy Scott Trussell is investigating three inci- are dents, two in Racine ,and another in Pomeroy, where victims received fraudulent checks sent from Nigeria for the purchase of vehicles offered for sale. A Racine woman, whose name is not being released by the sheriff's department for privacy reasons, recently attempted to cash a $13,000 fraudulent check sent to her for the purchase of her vehicle. A Racine man, whose name is also being withheld, tried to sell his tractor for $10,000 to someone who sent him a $16,000 check from Nigeria. When he tried to cash it Thursday morning at a local bank, the check did not clear. . A Pomeroy woman. whose name is being withheld, tried to cash two checks this week worth _more than $7.000 that were sent to her for the purchase of some items she was selling. Alert bank tellers stopped payment before any of these checks could be processed. The. Nigerian scheme is nothing new and has conned Americans out of millions of dollars over the past decade. According to the Meigs County Sheriff's Department, Nigerian con artists target individuals selling merchandise over the Internet, specitlcally-large-ticket items such as cars, motorcycles and boats. The buyer, who is from Africa, e-mails the seller to express an interest in the item and states that the method of payment will be a U.S . bank cashier's check. At the last minute, the buyer makes an excuse for send in g a cashier's check that is several thou- sand dollars more than the price of the item being purchased. The buyer asks the consumer to wire back the difference between the check and the pu rc has~ price after the check clears. Once the consumer's bank .cashes the check, the consumer then wires the balance to the buyer in Africa, Typically within seven to 21 days. the consumer learns from his or her bank that the check was counterfei t and that the full amount must be returned to the bank. "If it sounds to good to be true, then it is." said Mei gs sheriff's deputy Bryan Holman . who advises everyone to beware of this scheme.
