"Hopefully. you Jearn from them and move on." Shuiined by Japanese baseball teams, the 23-yearold Tadano signed with the Indians last March. They think he can make their club this spring. Tadano gave few details about the video, which he · made after his sophomore year at Rikkyo University. · "I did participate in a video and I regret it very much," he said. " It was a one-time incident that showed bad judgment and will never be repeated. I was young, play· ing' baseball , and going to college and my teammates and I needed money. "Frankly. if I were more mature and had really thought about the implicatio11~ of what I did, it never would have happened." Through an interpreter. Tadano added : "I'm not gay. I'd like to clear that fact up right now." The Indians set up the press session after getting many requests from reporters to speak with Tadano. The team wanted to address the issue before spring training starts next month. Tadano's admission will cert;1inly draw attention to homosexuality in baseball , a sensitive issue that most players prefer to not even discuss. In 2002, All-Star catcher Mike Piazza felt the need to hold a news conference to profess his heterosex u<~lity after a newspaper gossip columnist suggested that one of the New York Mets' top players was gay. There are no openly gay players in the bi g leagues today. The same is true in the NFL, NHL and NBA. Tadano was one of Japan's top college pitchers and expected to be a high tirst-round pick in 2002. But after a Japanese tabloidpublishedphotosofhim in the video a month before the dmti. pro teams in Japan did not select him. "The commissioner of Japanese baseball came out and said , ' You will not draft Tadano,"' asserted the pitcher's agent, Alan Nero. "But this kid didn 't assault anybody. He didn·t commit murder.

Tadano stood before his teammates and confessed to his participation in the video, which Nero said can be obtained only on the black market in Japan . Tadano received overwhelming support from players at Kin ston. N.C.. where he started the season and later at Akron. the Indians' Double-A affiliate. " I wanted to tell the truth to my teammates." he said. A former starter, he pitched in all three levels of the minors last season, going 6-2 with a 1.55 ERA and three saves.

Everybody has done something that they regret in their lives. He's a person just like everyone else." Tadano tried out fur several major league teams last spring in Arizona Coming off an elbow injury, he didn't get any oft'ers. Nero said some teams were turned off by what he called "the scandal." "He didn't pitch well enough for them to ignore it." Nero said. "' I also think they were afraid of the baggage that would come with it." Not the Indians. They liked Tadano enough to invite him to . work out at their spring training facility in Winter Haven. Fla. Eventually. they signed him to a minor leag ue contract that included a $67,500 bonu s. General manager Mark Shapiro said the team decided to sign Tadano despite knowing there could be backlash. "We thought the upside was well worth the risk, energy and time to support him." Shapiro said. Tadano knows he may face l'<m abuse in major league parks such as Yankee Stadium, where heckling the visitors is part of the pageantry. · Hejokedtlmthe'sreadyforit 'R'E'N.':G.INE&:--i .'

Evans celebrates 87th birthday DEAR ABBY: I sympathize with "Waiting in Wisconsin," whose boyfriend promised her an engagement ring three years ago. Six months ago, I broke up with niy boyfriend. We had lived together for four years and everyone assumed we would marry. I needed to take the next step in our relationship. We discussed it, and he told me he was not ready and might not be for several more years - if then. I agonized about it for several months. Then one day, I envisioned myself five years down the road in the same situation -together but no closer to marriage . I broke down and cried. It was then that I finally accepted what I already knew in my heart. If he wasn't ready in live years, he might never be. I moved out. Upon reflection,! think part of the reason I needed the commitment was that I wasn't sure of his love for me. I also believe that he wasn't ready to get married because he wasn't convinced that our relationship was the besr for him. ' Your advice to "Waiting" was absolutely right. She should move on and waste no more time. I am now in a relationship that is more satisfying than I ever thought possible. Leaving thin previous relationship was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but the best decision I've ever made because !listened to my heart. -DID THE RIGHT THING, SANTA CLARA, CALIF.

Then he'd say, "We'll do it after ( )." (He had a million excuses.) The last straw was when he served in Iraq. We were rocky before he left. I stood by him and cried and waited for him to return home. The day he left Iraq, he called to say he had already asked his best friend to be our best man, and we'd be engaged before his discharge from the Army in two months' time. Well, he got back. He got his discharge and moved to Texas - and still no ring. I decided I'd had enough. Instead of getting my ring finger,. he got another one. I haye never been happier.

POMEROY - Divorces have been granted ip Meigs County Common Pleas Court to Tory D. Swartz from Kendra P. Swanz, and to Ltsa D. Smith from Paul Smith . Sentenced The stories candidates tell Fr.mklin Roosevelt never publicized his wheelchair. John Kennedy carefully hid his Addison's dtsease and ba~k problems. But Sen. John Kerry talks openly about his treatment last year for prostate cancer. Why the change? American politicians have always told stories about themselves to illustrate their low ongins or high vinues. Think of George Washmgton's cherry tree and Abraham Lincoln's log cabin. But in today's made-fortelevi siOn culture, the more personal the stories, the better. Television is such an intimate medium that successful candidates have to connect directly with voters on an emouonal level. And Kerry, long known as a llinty, frozen patrictan. seems to have figured that out. Perhaps the most important 4uestion any pollster ever asks is,some version of this: "Docs he/she understand voters like you?'' Even when most Americans knew that B~ll Clinton was lying to them , hi s approval ratings defied gravity. The reason: voters still thought he could identify with their troubles. Kerry talks about his illness because it shows folks that he's not just a pampered blueblood. that he's suflered adversity just like them. and that he \ had the forttlude to bounce back.

Devin Harris made five of seven 3-pointers and scored 29 points to lead No. 17 Wisconsin to a 69-57 victory over Ohio State on Wednesday night , keeping the Badgers tied for the top spot in the Big Ten . The Badgers ( 14-3, 5-1) are off to their best start in co nference play since the 1962 team won seven of its first e ight. They share the lead with Indiana. "I like our guys to du it every possession," said coach Bo Ryan, whose team has won its last three and six of the last seve n. "That's what we talk about - every possession." Harri s' point total was one off his career best against Ill innis in · the Badgers' last game. He made nine of 12 shots and six of seven free throws in addition to recording four rebounds, four assists and five steals. "I got some good shots early and I was able to knock them down," Harri s said. "We ' ve stliggled on the road, so this was a big step." Harris said the key to the game was the Badgers' play inside, but hi s own coach &ave him much of the credit torthe win. "He dribbled to daylight," Ryan said. "He saw some openings and he did a gaud job of attacking the rim ." Ohio State coach Jim 0' Brien went beyond that. "If he's not the best guard in the country, he certainly has to be one of the top few." 0' Brien said of Harris.

Later, a chicken' s fool was found inside her car. which had 666 painted on the rear windshield. A tiny doll decorated with pins and needles was found nearby. "I wholeheartedly believe in the supernatural , the same as God," said King. "The devil has as much power as God does especially here on Earth." According to the Oxford Bible Dictionary. the 666 symbolizes the mark of the beast. The doll is reminiscent of witchcraft. The chicken foot could mean a variety of thing s and comes from Caribbean tradition. The pentagram has an ancien! past steeped in many religions and can mean different things to different people.
