' Please do not bring ,uninvited guests. I've seen a shortage of space and food at receptions because of this. (Caterers often charge extra for the number of guests exceeding the original count.) • 2. Please do not bring children unless they are listed on the invitation. They may be the cutest kids in the world - especially when they're all dressed up. However, it'-s the bride and groom's day. · not an occasion for you to show off your little ones. 3. Another reason not to bring uninvited children is that many reception sites charge by the number of attendees, regardless of the age. 4. If you must bring a nursing baby to the ceremony, ask to be seated on an aasle near the back, so a quick exit can be made if the baby becomes fussy. Keep in mind that a wedding day is an occasion the bride has dreamed of all her the wrong food and don't throw up afterward like_she does. There is no reason to live any more.

BY ANDREW CARTER Asst. managing editor RIO GRANDE - The travel and tourism business in Gallia County received a shot in the arm Wednesday with the opening of the Bob Evans Farms Homestead Museum in Rio Grande. That was the opinion of several leaders who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the museum's grand opening. "This fits into the direction that we're headed in a family-oriented tourism approach," said Bob Hood, dtrector of the Gallia County .Convention and Visitors Bureau. "This is a great place for a family to come and bring the kids and tour at .leisure. Already we'.ve ·seen some reaction off our web site to the museum, reople asking questions.

A sales tax report issued by Meigs County Treasurer Howard Frank on Wednesday shows a $21,000 decline in revenue from .the county's !-percent sales tax for the month of February. The Ohio Department of Taxation pays the county its sales tax proceeds two months in arrears , Frank said, meaning May 's sales tax receipts of $76,437,72 reflect the tax collected in February, a month which saw many retail businesses closed for days because of utility outages and unsafe road conditions. The figure is $21 ,000 less than that of last February, according to Frank. . 'The latest payment puts Meigs County $26,877 behind collections for the year to date," Frank said. 'The sales tax is an important source of revenue because the county relies on it to assist with cash flow in meeting operating expenses each month." . The county 1 ·experienced a $6,000 increase m tax revenue in March, and county officials were hoping the spike was a sign of a strengthening local retail economy, but the county's tax collections have consistently dwindled 1n the past two years. The 2002 collections were $70,000 less than those of 2000, and, Frank said Wednesday. the trend is likely to continue. It THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2003 Tax decline .blamed on storm BRIAN J.

(AP) Fertilizer costs forcing farmers to change plans BY JOHN SEEWER . Farmers in Ohio and other com-producing states are worried that fertilizer prices .that have nearly doubfed at times in the past year will make earning a profit even tougher this year. Some are swi tching from planting corn ID soybeans and others are planning to use less fertilizer, gambling that those decisions won't lead to disease problems in their fields . For farme rs with cornfields, using anhydrous anunonia or another nitrogen,based fertilizer is often their biggest expense. The price increases this year could mean farmers with 1,000 acres of com could shell out an extra $10,000. "We just can't absorb that," said Fred Yoder, president of .the St. Louis-based National Corn Growers Association, which represents 32,000 fanners in 48 states. ;oWe· re worki ng on such small margins already,'' said Yoder, · a farmer from Plain City.

That has led to stockpi ling of dark meat at home which means processors need fewer new broilers from farmers.

"I'd say we're seeing between a I0 and 15 percent slowdown , which is directly related to our revenue. It obviously hurts." Chicken was the top U.S. export to Russia. bringing in $600 million to $700 million per year. In February 2002.

Russia began an on-again. ofT-again ban on U.S. chicken. complaining of unsanitary conditions in processing plants and demanding s tri c t ~ r inspections of American hirds. Katarina Keller, an international trade expe11 and assistant profe" or of economics at Su squehanna University in Selinsgrove, said she believes the chicken bans were aimed at retaliating for U.S. steel tariffs - which are expected to cost Russia $750 mi llion in exports per year - and protecting Ru ssia 's fl edgling poultry industry. "I think that the whole thing is originating from the fact that the Ameri can chicken is kind of taking over the Russi an chicken market." said Keller, adding that about 70 percent of the chicken consumed in Russia comes from the United States. Ru ssia lift ed the ban in April 2002. and export s resumed a month later. But additional restricti ons kept Russian imports to about onesixth their previou s level, Vasseur said. · Bill Robinson. who raises broilers for Kreamer Feed in Snyder County. said the Russi an embargo came at a James (Mike) Mulford particularly bad time . Exports already were suffering because of outbreaks of Avian tlu in Pennsylvania, Virginia. West' Virginia and North Carolina. and Exotic Newcaslle Di sease in California, Arizona and Nevada. On ~op of that, an East Coast drought resulted in higher feed prices. "Our cost of production was higher in 2002. and the market price w;1s luwer." Robinson said. "We got a double whammy there ." Farmers - whose prices are often fixed in contracts may ha~e made out better than processors. Since December, Tyson Foods Inc .. the world's largest meat producer. has c Insed plants in Oklahoma. Florida and Maryland. Even though U.S. exports .were back up to 153 million pounds in February 2003. Vasseur said, Tyson and other exporters have to work through a backlog of frozen meat before they can bring production back to pre-embargo levels. · In the meantime, some producers have been looking for other markets for their dark meat.

These goals "will bring greater security to our country," Bush said, speaking on a drizzly day here. "They are also the moral purpose of American intluence.

Despite a steady, sloppy rain that cut short a pro-am round, Sorenstam had to walk-throujlh a wall of spectators just to get to the flfSt tee. From there, the view was unlike anything she has ever seen. The 565-yard hole was a·colorful outline of umbrellas from tee to green, and thousands of fans - about half of them women called out her name as she walked by. "This was tremendous," said Sorenstam, who was at least I over par through I0 holes whe.o rain stopped the round. "All the support I've gotten from everybody, to show up on a day like today is incredible." This is. new territory for Sorenstam. and not just because she is the first woman in 58 years to compete against men on the PGA Tour. . When the Bank of America Colonial begins Thursday, it will be the first time Sorenstam has ever played a tournament she is not expecting to win. The question is, what kind of score will it take to be satisfied? "If I shoot level par; I'm going to be so pleased," she said. Even so, Sorenstam knows that won't be easy. The course known as Hogan's Alley is longer and tougher than any she has played in competition . She also will be under more scrutiny than any player since Tiger Woods made his pro debut in the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open. She figures the circus following her every move is probably worth two or on the 246-yard fourth hole, hining her three stwkes a round, a handicap she driver just short of the green and chipaccepts. ping in from 35 feet.

Spurs even Tribe trounces Tigers series with Mavericks SAN ANTONIO (AP) - First there was foul trouble for Dirk Nowitzki, and then he got hit with a technical foul. Next came serious foul trouble for Nowitzki, which was followed by the ejection of Don Nelson . More technical fouls and ejections quickly followed in a game that seemed to be all but over by the time the tempestuous first half was over. Dallas did manage to make a late push, but Tim Duncan's 32 points and the Spurs' early 24-for-24 free throw shooting were too much to overcome Wednesday night as San Antonio defeated the Mavericks 119-106 in Game 2 of the Western Conference·finals . The Spurs evened the series with Game 3 set. for Friday at Dallas. Perhaps that w1ll be the mght that a low-key officiating crew is assigned to the game . Following a Game I that featured 72 personal fouls and 98 free throws, notoriously hot tempered referee Joey Crawford called four technical fouls in the first I 0: II.· Two of the techs carne in rapid succession during a timeout when Nelson t~ied to enga~e Crawford in a staredown and dtd not heed h1s order to return to his bench. Assistant coach Del Harris was tossed by Crawford late in the second quarter after he walked onto the court to protest a non-call against Duncan for playing illegal ·defense. The Spurs went 10 the line 28 times in the first half and made 26, with Malik Rose going 13-for14 while shooting a majority of the technicals. CLEVELAND (AP) - C. C. Sabathia tripped himself up. · Cleveland's ace left-hapder pitched six innings before leaving with a sprained left ankle as the Indians sent the Detroit Tigers to their ninth shutout loss , 4-0 Wednesday night. "It's sore,. but I'm all right," Sabathia said. "I'll be putting plenty of ice on it and, hopefully, won't miss any ti,me." Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said he was originally quite concerned because the injury · . was to Sabathia's push-off leg. "C.C. was fantastic,'" Wedge said. "He had very good .command, especially of his fastball, and you sure hope it is not serious and he's going to be OK ." Shane Spencer drove in two run~ for Cleveland, which won three in a row for the first time this year and has five· victories in its last six games. . Detroit lost its seventh straight, its longest slide since opening the season 0-9. The Tigers are a major league-worst 9-35. ''I'm at a loss for words," Alan Trammell said of managing a team that has been shut out as many times as it has won. "Nobody likesJo get shut out. They kind of ticked me off as a player." Sabathia (3-2) was working on a three-hitter when he collided with Detroit 's Dmitri Young at first base on the final out of the Tigers' sixth. · Young, a 6-foot-2, 245-pound designated hit-. ter, hit a grounder to first base man Ben Broussard. As Sabathia ran over to grab the throw, he crashed into Young, who was called out as he tumbled into foul territory.

How do you subscribe to The Daily Sentinel, Point Pleasant Register or Gallipolis Daily Tribune'? _ _ 7 -Days _ _ 5-Days -~Weekend-~ Sunday only BY BARRY WILNER Associated. Press PHILADELPHIA - The idea of expanding the NFL · playoffs fizzled Wednesday after Kansas City withdrew the proposal because it lacked enough.support. The league's competition committee unanimously rejected the plan to add two more wild-card teams thi s year, and commissioner Paul Tagliabue also opposed it. The Chiefs, who made the suggestion along with the New England Patriots, pulled the proposal before team owners even voted on it. New En~land was not at the owners final general session. "We are the best sport, so why should .we follow other sports?" Steelers owner Dan Rooney said. "Every game in an NFL season is impottant." Rooney added he hoped the issue would not come up again, but that is unlikely. Patriots owner Robert Kraft indicated Tuesday he was setting his sights on a vote in 2004 to expand the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams. T~liabue said the:re is not enough information available after one year of the ·eightdivision, 32-team format and revised schedule. "We needed an additional season under our belt before we make any definitive decisions," he said. "It may take two, three, four, five years who knows ? There is no urgency to try to fix something that is not broken and also is the best in pro sports." The owners, league · executives and coaches spent much of Wednesday discussing diversity hiring, although the Detroit Lions ' hiring of coach Steve Mariucci earlier this year was not discussed directly. The Lions chose Mariucci after he was fired by San Francisco, but did not meet the NFL's new guidelines of inter· viewing at least one minority candidate. Several minority coaches turned down inleTview$. believing the Lions' decision already was made. Rooney, chairman of the league's diversity committee , .said .a decision "would be coming very soon" on whether. to discipline the Lions. During the morning symposi um, New York Jets coach Herman Edwards, one of three black head coaches in !he league, urged all assistants to go through the interviewing process. "If you get your day in court, that's what you've practiced for," Edwards said. "That goes for all coaches. If you do not do that, if you tum down the interview, you say the battle already is over before the fight. The great part about the interview iS that you can change somebody's mind." ·Edwards joined fellow coaches Bill Cowher of Pittsburgh and John Fox of Carolina on the panel , which also included Rooney, Eagles cornerback Troy Vincent, ' Steelers tight end Mark Bruener and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome. NFL Players Associaiion executive director Gene Upshaw praised Edwards' advice and also took it a step further, applying it to any jobs in the spoil. "Finish the process," Upshaw said.

Most hitters would have been a ha>ket case at that point. Undeterred, Griffey worked on his ,wing between innings and came up with 1wo·of his best swings since..he returned trmn a dislocated shoulder. Griffey pulled a long homer down the right-tield line and flied out to the warning track in left during the Cincinnati Reds' 9-8 victory Tuesday night over the Atlanta Braves. "I just made some adjustments," Gritfey said Wedne sday. "It really wasn't (the pitcher) , it was moreso me. If he's goi ng to ~ive you a pitch to hit. you've got to htt it.'' It was Griffey's tlrst homer since he returned from the disabled list a week earlier. He went 4-for-18 in the first seven games since his return, working off the rust fro m a 5 1/2-week layoff. His last two ·at-bats on Tuesday night showed he 's getting a little closer. "From a hitting standpoint, he's a borderline genius." manager Bob Boone said. "He understands himself and he can make adjustments. He made adjustments in hi s last at-bats last night. Most people have those first two at:bats and from a mental standpoint, you can just chalk 'em up." Griffey's swing is still a little off, which is not surprising. Once his shoulder was healthy enough to let him play. Griffey went right back on the roster · instead o( doing a minor league rehabili . tation stint. He does therapy for the shoulder every day before taking pregame batting practice . The shoulder is still sore at times. "I can tell when the weather changes," he said. "I can feel that. Also. I can feel it when I sleep wrong.'' I /1 • DUNN IMPRESSIVE : Boone worked with outfielder Adam Dunn on his swing before the rest of the regulars took balling practice. and walked away with a big smile on his face. ''I've just watched the be>~ round of BP I've ever seen in my li fe,'' Boone said. "His swing was perfect and every pitch went out of the park - well. every other one." So. was Dunn in th<! lineup? Nope. 'Jose Guillen was in left field instead. "I wanted to get Guillen in," Boone said. "Somebody had to come out. I want to get Junior .some consecutive at-bats.'' • WILLIE'S WOES: Scott Williamson is in a rut. The close r gave up a solo homer to Rafael Furcal, a walk and a hi t before finally fini shing off the 9-8 victory on Tuesday. In his last four appearances. Williamson ' has given up tlve earned runs in 4 2-3 innings. rai sing his earned run average from 1.84 to 3.72, He also had hi s only blown save of the season during that span. He 's 11-of- 12 overall. "My last four or five outings, I don't know what I'm doing out there ... Williamson said. "When you get yourself in those situations, you just have to battle and hope for the best. I'm in a little funk right now.'' Williamson has struggled to control his split-finger fastball, leaving him behind in the count. He has also left a few pitches over the plate and paid for it. HAMILTON (A P) Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tom Browning will replace one of hi s ex-teammate s as manager of the Florence Freedom minor league team. Browning. the only Reds pitcher to throw a perfect ganie. was to be introduced . at a new s conference Thursday. the day after the Frontier League expansion team announced former Cincinnati third baseman Chris Saba had resigned as mana ge r. Browning, who also will be the ·club's director of baseball operations. will be in the dugout Friday night for the seaso n opener in Chi II icothe: "I think this is a real positive move. " said general manager Connie Hildebrant. The Freedom will . play home games in this southwest Ohio city this season while a new stadium is bui It in what will be their permanent home in Florence. Ky. The team's home opener in · Hamilton is June 3 . The Freedom said Wednesday that Saba, a former All-Star third baseman. left a resignation letter on a coach's desk Saturday. and owners concluded hi s resignation wa s effective that day. "Chris Sabo stated a professional ct'ifference with coaching style as his reason for leaving ," a team state- men! said . Sabo, 41. s.11d Wednesday that he regretted leaving just before the opener. but was worn down after two years of promotional events for the team. He originally Tribe bases. Spencer singled off Munson's glove at third base to drive in two runs. Monroe in left field got Sonderman out of further trouble. With Bradley running from second, Josh Bard lined a ball that Monroe caught with a dive . Bradley was all the way to home plate and was easily doubled up when Monroe threw to second , ending the inning. Monroe made a better play in the fifth , skidding across the warning track to make a diving catch of a foul ball hit by Vizque I. Monroe 's left wrist appeared to snap back as he landed on it. but he stayed in the game after being attended to by Ti gers assi stant trainer Steve Carter. "He'll be sore fo r a couple of days. We ' II see how it goes,'' Trammell said. Lawton made it 4-0 with an RBI single in the fourth . Sonderman allowed four run s and six hits over five innings in his third consecutive loss. The 20-year-old rookie walked five and struck out fi vc. ' left ankle was wrapped with ice. " I plan on playing tomorrow, and I hope he doesn't miss any time." Sabathia, listed at 6-7 and 290 pounds. immediately pulled up and after being checked by team trainer Paul Spicuzza, limped off the field. He was not taken for X-rays. "I tagged him before he got to the base. then rolled the ankle.'' Sabathia said. "I knew I wasn't coming back for the next inning." Sabathia struck out five and walked two, and is 3-0 in seven starts since April 12. He narrowly avoided serious injury in the fifth when he ducked inches under a line si ngle by Tigers .rookie Eric Munson. "I saw it all the way, it was kind of chuck and duck," Sabathia said. "It's not tough to duck when you see a baseball coming right at you." Rookie Billy Traber and Jason Boyd each pitched an inning. Danys Baez finished the seve n-hitter, striking out three hatters after allqwing a single by Young and double by Craig Monroe. Cleve land took a 3-0 lead in the third against Jeremy Bond~rman (2-7). Matt Lawton hit a one-out douhle and scored on asingle • by Omar Vizquel. Ellis Burks and Milton Bradley then walked, loading the ' w agreetl two yea rs . ago to serve as manager for only three months. he said. "To tell you the truth , I'm jus·t extremely exhau"ed and tired," Sabo said. "I just want to get some sleep and recharge my batteries.'' He wished the te am luck. "I don't feel animosity toward anybody.:· he said. "It' s going to be a great thing." • 31 Atlanta MonOoal Phnade!phia "My mistakes are really getting hit right now," he said . • MOUND MEASURE: Braves ri ght-hander Greg Maddux is the latest pitch~r to wonder about tile mound at Great American Ball Park. Numer,ous visitin g pitchers and 'evt'ral of the Reds have que stioned the mound's height and slope. saying it seems too flat. A flat mound takes the· bite out of breaking pitches. Responding to the conwla int s. the Reds had baseball officials survey the mound using a laser measuring device on Tuesday. The verdict: It meets the standards. "I watched those guys measure it," Boone said. "You can believe the laser or your lying eyes." Maddux thinKs it's the lowe st mound in the National League. ''It's pretty tlat," he said . "It's pretty low. But it held together nice. It wasn't too hard . I actually liked it. If you're a sl ider/curve guy, you could still throw there, bi.It I could see where yo u couldn 't get quite the same leverage." • WILY OH: Outfielder Wily Mo Pena has go ne nearly a month without starting a game. Pena is out of minor league options and general man ager Jim Bowden doesn't want to risk losing him off waivers by trying to send . him to the minors, so Boone is forced to carry him on tbe roster. · In effect. the Reds are using a 24-man roster. a competitive disadvantage . .Pena has trouble hitting breaking balls - he's 1-for-18 (.056) with eight strikeouts so Boone is reluctant to use him as a pinch hitter. Pena made his only start on April 26 and went 0-for-3. Six Reds pitchers have higher batting averages· than Pena's .

Treasurer Howard Frank, meeting with Meigs. County Commissioners Thursday, projected a 14-percent drop m county general fund revenue next year, and said layoff of county employees may be unavoidable. Commissioners, meanwhile, said Frank's prediciion may be more dire than is necessary, and would not speculate on how any additional revenue cuts would be addressed. The board is now consid. ering 2004 budget requests from general fund departments, but Commissioner Mick Davenport said no consideration is being given to cuts in departmental budgets. Commissioners levied I 0-percent across-the-board cuts to county courthouse offices and other general fund operations in making their appropriations earlier this year, and smaller cuts in 2001. . "I don't know how predic-· lions can be made at this point," Davenport said. "There are too many factors to consider, and . too much time between now and the end of the year to accurately portray revenue for next year." In making his predictions, however, Frank, who is charged with the .collection of real estate · and personal property taxes and the investment of county funds, cites dramatic drops in local government assistance from the state , lower interest rates on investment of both active "As I see it, the only way to balance the county budget next year will be to do it off the backs of county employees." - Howard Frank, Melga County Treaaurer and inactive county funds, and declining revenue from the county 's one-percent sales tax , along with a lack of growth on new construction . The county has also lost significant revenue from personal property taXes since the closing of the Southern Ohio · Coal Company' s Meigs Mine and the removal •.of long-wall mining equipment from the Salem Township properly. "The county's at a standstill, and we'll be lucky to hold our own next year," Frank said. "Two years ago, I met with county officeholders and said the only way we're going to be able to balance the county budget will be off· the backs of our. county employees, and it seems that time has come." Frank, himsylf, has implemented cost-cutting measures in his own office, reducing his four-person office staff to a four-day work week. While Frank's office remains open Monday through Friday, his employees are now rotating schedules, and losing pay for two days per two-week pay period. Please see Indicted.
