Cost for a construction of a new pool would have cost the village an estimated $350,000. "This pool is not just for the residents of the village of Middleport," Johnson said. " It is for usc by albJf the residents in this part of Meigs County. We need as many volunteers as possible, in order for us to keep the construction costs down."

"The money raised by the community for the pool will go only toward upkeep of the pool," Horton said . "We arc really pleased with the response the community gave to this project. We hope now that the response will be just as great for volunteers to work on the project. Without the volunteer labor, we might not be ready to open by Memorial Day."

Elliott scored 3$ points and ma.cle two three-pointers in an otherwise ' cold-shooting fourth quarter as the :· Spurs, battling fatigue, outlasted the Nets. 'My legs were shot, just dead to l ' start the game. For some reason I -was getting off. the ground and push1~ing through it," Elliott said. · •1 The Spurs made only four shots ·-> (AP) - from the field in the linal12 minutes, but two of them were three-pointers by Elliott. San Antonio also outrebounded the NBA's best rebounding team as David Robinson had II offensive ·rebounds and a total of 17 to go with his 19 points. "We were dead tired, and backto-backs are always scary a1 this time of the year. But it was a back-to-back game for them, too, and that was what I was hanging my hat on," coach Bob Hill said. San Antonio outrebounded the Nets 52-43, including 22-12 on the offensive glass, in winning its 50th game of the season. "We were rough around the edges tonight, but the rebounding did it for us. That was the thing, we had to be real active, and that was the key tonight," Robinson said. New Jersey trailed by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter, but the Spurs went cold from the field after Elliott made a three-pointer with 10:21 left for an 82-70 lead. An 11 -2 run by the Nets, capped by a three-point play by Shawn B'radley, cut the deficit to 84-81 with 3:20 left. Vinny Del Negro missed a jumper at the other end of the court, but Elliott got an offensive rebound and made a three-pointer - his fifth of the game - for an 87-81 lead with 2:29 left San Antonio scored its last eight points from the free throw line in the final I :53. Sh~wn Bradley had 21 points and Armon Gilliam 20 for the Nets, who were playing their fourth game in five days.

JIIZZ 103, Mavericks 86 Karl Malone scored 29 points and Utah sent Dallas to its lith straight defeat. Malone passed the 23,000-point mark for his career. He is within 26 points of eclipsing Robert Parish (23,0ll5) for 13th place on the NBA scoring list. The host Jazz took an 11-0 lead in winning their 17th consecutive home game. Malone finished with 12 rebounds, shot 9-for-14 from the field and was 11-for-13 from the foul line. Scott Brooks led Dallas with 16 points, but 13 of those came in the fourth quarter when the Jau was comfortably ahead. Trail Blazers !14, 76ers 71 Arvydas Sabonis had 18 points and I5 rebounds in less than three quarters as Portland handed Philadelphia its eighth straight loss. The defeat ended an awful fourgBifte road trip for the 76ers in which they lost games by 23, 24. 40 and 23 points. Sabonis hit his first seven shots, leading a strong effort by the Trail Blazers' front line. Backup center Chris Dudley had I0 points and nine rebounds and Clifford Robinson scored 17 points. Vernon Maxwell made his first appearance in Portland since he walked into the stands and slugged a heckling Blazers' fan on Feb. 6, 1995. The crowd half-heartedly booed Maxwell - who then played for Houston - but was mostly quiet at the Rose Garden. Clarence Weatherspoon led the 76ers with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Jerry Stackhouse, in his first game back after a two-ga10e . suspension for punching Utah's Jeff Hornacek, scored 13 points. .ACOG still owes Atlanta $1.9M for. various services ll ! PJ"'If" A:u..ANTA (AP)- Atlanta offi:dats are still waiting to receive an :. overdue $1 .9 million payment from · Olympic organizers for municipal services such as police and lire pro,. tection, and trash pickup for the · Summer Games. Both sides agreed to a final draft '.of the city services contract in Janu~ ary, and Mayor Bill Campbell signed his copy last week ..Officials of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic :Games are still reviewing the 34- page contract, which was due II days ago."I spoke with them, and they are tidying up details, and we expect it to be signed momentarily," said Susan Pease Langford, the city's director of Olympic coordination. The city services agreement is worth about $9.5 million in direct cash payments and in-kind services to the city. It provides for ACOG to make equal payments of $1,916,322.23 on March 15, April15 and July 1. Some of the" delay ·has been blamed on the city contract with D.O. Swing Games Management Inc., which was hired to market Atlanta by leasing public property during the Games. Munson Steed, president of D.O. Swing, had hoped to lease as many as 20,000 banners citywide to C6mpanies wanting to advertise on street- lights. ACOG, which wants to put up 5,000 banners for the Games at $100 ·apiece, has expressed concern that Steed's banner program might conflict with its own. "We have not signed the contract or made a payment because, as we were finalizing things, concern arose over the location an<! supply of banners," ACOG spokesman Bill Marks said. " It's being worked out and should be resolved in a matter of days." _Bartow resigns as UAB coach and names son successor !l l!IRMINGHAM, ,Ala.

Ruffin. 24, was 7-2 with a 3.09 ·ERA in 51 games for the Reds in 1994, but had a lousy spring last year and wound up spending.most of th_e .season at hidianapolis.

Call our competition and verity what we say about the tank if you own it If you buy propane for one year from our competitor at 59.9¢ and pay $1,200 to buy the tank (which is required to get the price of 59.9¢) you will have $1,559.40 in your propane for the first year if you use 600 gallons. This equals to paying over $2.59 a gallon for your propane instead of 59.9¢. If you use 900 gallons of propane under the same program, you would have spent $1,740 which equals $1.93 per gallon.

(Tom Hunter/Sentinel photo) A bill that would help ensure equity in veterans' care throughout Ohio overwhelmingly passed the Ohio House, of Representatives today. House Bill ' 581, sponsored by State Rep. John A. Carey Jr., would establish a Veterans' Care Committee to study the possibility of placing a veterans ' care home in southern Ohio. "I sponsored this legislatiop to address the lack of pu\>lic facility for veterans in southern Ohio," said Carey, R-Wellston . " I want to make sure that the men and WOfen who have served our country are provided with proper care." -- ·Jf H.B. Sill beComes law; an 'T i:·· · member committee would be established to conduct a study on the lack of a facility in southern Ohio to provide care for retired veterans in the same manner provided l n northern Ohio by the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky, a Carey spokesman said. Tic committee would be required to determine the feasibility of locating a veterans ' home in the southern half of the stale. "I would like to thank everyone who was a proponent of H.B. 581. The overwhelming support this legislation received from various veterans organization and members of the House prove its importance. I am confident that the Senate will see the need to made sure all of Ohio's veterans receive the care they deserve," Carey added. Carey 's legislation is similar to a previous bill sponsored by his predecessor, Mark Malone, D-South Point, in 1994. A committee was also formed to study the need for a southern Ohio veterans' home, bUl the time limit set by the bill expired before any action was taken.

The villages of Pomeroy and Racine.• l,.ebanon Township, and Salisbury Township will receive a total of $118,271 in federal and state emergency funding, according to Greg Keller of til!: Ohio Emergeocy Management Authority. To daie, a total of $1,388,430 has been released to Meigs County by the Federal Public Assistance Program, for repair and construction of roads damaged during the January Hooding in nine of Meigs County's twelve townships, according to MeigsCounty Engineer Robert H.
