J. ·REED OhioReads, once top Taft priori~y, folded into new reading office BvANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS AP STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT COLUMBUS - Gov. -Bob Taft's proposed budget for the first time lumps most of the funding for his OhioReads initiative, once his top policy · priority, together with other state reading programs. Formerly an independent office, OhioReads is now funded under the Office of Reading Improvement. The classroom grants once speci f. . ic to OhioReads have been renamed literacy grants and are being expanded to young children struggling to read as well· as · middle and high school students. But reflecting tight budget times, the proposed amount of the grants - about $12 million a year - would not .increase from the .most recent two-year budget. Schools with OhioReads' grants used the nioney to buy books and other reading materials and help arrange volunteer tutors for children. Taft's $51 billion spending plan still contains a standalone proposal to pay for background checks on OhioReads volunteerS and to pay program coordinators · at schools. But the amount would be cut from $4.2 million to $3.9 million next year; an 8 percent drop. The funding would stay the same in 2007. Taft said in lasi week's State of the State speech that Ohlo now has. 50,000 reading tutors under the program. The new system brings all the state's reading programs under one , roof,.

Pitchers and catchers reported Tuesday, with the first fullsquad workout scheduled for Feb. 22. Several players went through voluntary drills on Tuesday. The Reds will have a better idea of Gritlcy's strength and flexibility after he · has .a physical on Wednesday. "That will give us a baseline ·to determine what he can do as far as drills and intensity." trainer. Mark Mann said. Griffey' s health will be one oft he keys to wbether the Reds break their streak of four consecutive years with a losing record. their l9ngest such slump since the 1950s. The Reds slashed their payroll after the 2003 season, their lirst at Great American B.a ll Park, <Uld fell out of contention midway through last season.

Monday, 789 programs in four division s started the·quest for Columbus with the tip-off of the 2004-05 Ohio Hi <>h School Athletic Association boys bask~t­ ball tournament. Some teams have hi gher expectations than others within the state, others have more of a concern within the district. area. All compete with the passion of playing another game, regardless of what team n~m e reads on the . tmiform. In other words, the love of the game takes over. As a player, coach, school or sports enthustast, tnere is no better time of the year than' the next live weeks. There are seven things l always look for . in any toumament survivor. Three are as sjmple as the fundamental s of the game, the other four are intangibles. Fundamentals always come lirst at tour·nament time. r. Team Defense .. lf ypu can't stop an oppo'nent from scori ng, you mav have to see No. 7 about a win . · 2.Rebounding. Outside of the scoreboard, nothing can be more critical during the tournament than contfolling the glass. Seco,nd chance opportunities can mean . the difference between mo ving on and moving out. The stat doesn :t always have to be won. but it doesn't hurt your cause. 3. Guard Play. Dribbling is the most common element used th~oughout the course of a game. Those who can under pressure will ·have a better chance of moving on than those who do not. The backcourt also has to open up the interior with , consistency and intelligence in the shoot. ing department. 4. Stze. You can't teach thi's.one. you either have it or you don't. Nothing shuts down the inside better than a skilled post player or two. An y squad with more than · a trio should consider itse lf fortunate . · 5. Third Scorer. There are too many j unk defenses in thi s game to rely on one or two players throughout the course of a game. The best way to survive and advance is to have someone pickup the scot:\ng load when the top two are strug. gling. A balanced attack could prove to be your best friend . 6. Depth. A small bench ran make for a long night, foul trouble and fatigue can · make it longer. . A strong cast of reserves c·an prove to be the sfars of the game in certain areas, particularly after a win. 7. Luck. Advancing through the tournament is one of the hardest things for players and· coaches to do. You have lo be · blessed with good chemistry. good talent and good tim ing to get so far down the trail.

"There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life· when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasUre." This deal occurred in last year's Wo'rld University Team Championship, when eight "boysft from Belgium and Sweden were in opposition . It e,.;hibits the. advantage cit the hidden hand. At the · first table, the ~elgian North became the declarer in five diamonds do ubled. (West opened one club, NorlM overcalled one spade, East responded two hearts. and West jumped to four hearts. North was stili there, of course. bidding five diamonds. Strangely, East. with no defense , not only passed that around to his partner, but also sat lor the penalty double.) East led his singleton club. West won with the ace and , trying to defeat game , hoped to cash the heart ace before re turning a club. However, North ruffed and a moment later had an over· trick, scoring 950. The auction in the other roo m is given, North's two-club cue-b id showing at least 5·5 in spades and diamonds. Here, it was easier for East to trust his partner · because E~t's four-heart jump aCcurate-ly described his hand: a long suit with scant de fen se. · Against six diamonds doubled, West led the club ace. When that North hand was tab led, West had no temptation to try the heart ace. And since Eas t couldn't be void in spades (South would not have correct· ed lour spades to five diarryo~s) , West continued with another club. This promoted a trump trick for the defenders, giving Belgium another 200 points. G BIG NATE ROBERT BISSEll East 24 The power of the hidden hand MY PAfl.tNTS .. Ta~e Let me do rl fer youl Dbl.
