"We wouldn't call it a dou ble-cross or anything like that, but I don't think this is going to sit real well ," said Harold Bateson, whose family's grain farm covers 2.300 acres in northwest Ohio near Bowling Green. Because they all operate small businesses, farmers understand the need to bal ance the budget, bllt some think agriculture took a bigger hit in Bu sh 's bt1dge1 than other federal spending programs. "We are- sharin g a· good part of the burden, " said Karen Richter, a hog farmer from Montgomery, Minn . "You kind of feel like the rug has been · pulled out from under you." ·The president has proposed an acros·s-.the-board cut of 5 percent for all farm payme.nts and lowering the cap on subsidies. The cuts wou ld total $2.5 billion, more than reduction's in health, housing and law enforcement. "It's kind of a slap in the face ," acknowledged Neil · . Clark, a grai n farmer who was in charge of whipping up suppori among fanners for Bush's campaign in Hancock County. He felt that agricultu re again bore the , 'brunt of the c1:1ts. But he also know cuts had to be made and he doesn't regret voting for Bush. " I guess l don't ho ld a grudge," Clark said.. "I'm not to the point that I' d changed politics."

You are South , in six spades . How would you plan the play aher West leads the heart kmg? What would be your critiq ue of the auction? First, the bidding . South's opening bid and West's takeout double should be auto· malic. (One should open With 12 high· card points when one has a decent five· card suit . Also , ace-king, ace are good cards, worth 12 poinls all on the ir own .) In th iS co untry, North must start ,with redo uble to show 10-plus points ; a two-diamond response would be nonlorci ng. East ts correcno bid two hearts . He is known to have a weak hand, and he has been . asked to indicate his preference for one of the unbid suits; with a defini te preference. he should e~press it. North's jump to five spades, asking partner to bid six with the heart ace or kilig, is a slight overbid- he · was swayed by th e vital diamond eightl After winning wi th the heart ace,· cash the spade ace. But wHen West drops the jack. you must unblocK dummy's nine . (If ypu do not unblock, your communications become irreparably tang led.) You continue with a spade to dummy's queen and a spade to your eight. Then, you draw East's final trump and take the diaffiond fi nesse. You rake in five spades, one heart and six diamonds. ~ • Prompt & quality work • Affordable Rates • References Available • Free Estimates Call Gary Stanley 740-742-2293 • Leave a messa e Pass Winning 44 Draws . ing.~ AHenUan Meigs Ca.

Lockout from Page B1 Hang time: LeBron undecided on All-Star dunk BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press "The scary part now for hockey is do the fans come back? We're not baseball , we're not the national pastime," Nashville forward Jim McKenzie said. Between shifts of a pickup game at the Denver rink where the Avalanche used to practice, fan Don Cameron called the cancellation "a shame." "When they come back. it's · not going to be as easy to pay . for a $90 season ticket," he said. Not to mention how dilficult it will be for all the u!Jlers, trainers, official s. Zambon.i drivers and businesses near arenas that will continue to be affected. Bettman said the sides . would keep working toward. . an agreement. "We' re planning to have hockey next season," he said. Goodenow stressed that the players had already given a lot o[ground. "Every offer by the players moved in the owners' direction," he said. "Keep one thing perfectly clear," Goodenow. said. "The players never asked for more money - · they just asked for a marketplace." The league and players' union traded a flurry of proposals and letters Tuesday night, but could never agree on a cap. The players proposed $49 million per team; the owners said $42.5 million. But a series of conditions and fine print in both 'proposals · made the offers further apart than just $6.5 million per team. "We weren't as close as · people were speculating," Bettrnan said. Although Bettman was unequivocal . in announcing the cancellation, Yzerman held out hope that some kind of a miracle was still possible. "If you read into what (Bellman) said, it sounds like there is still an opportunity to get .things done," the Detroit Red Wings captain said:."The principles are there to make a peal, so I stiU think something can happen in the next day or two, because we' re really not that far apart.'' Goodenow was less opti· mistic. "I think it's a fresh start and everything is off the tab)e," he said. "It's a totally new environment. That much . is for sure. Before Monday, the idea of ' a salary cap was a deal-breaker for the players' association but the umon ·gave in and said it would accept one when the NHL dropped its insistence that there be a link between revenues and player costs. That still wasn't enough to end the lockout that started .on· Sept. 16 and ultimately wiped out the entire 1,230-game schedule that was to begin in October and run through the Stanley Cup finals in June . And now, those concessions are off the table. "By necessity we have io go back to linkage .since no one knows what the damage . to .the sport will ·be," Bellman satd. The NHL's last game came in June, when the Tampa Bay Lightning beat Calgary 2-l in Game 7 to win the Stanley Cup. · Since then, a lot . of stars .have moved on, going overseas to play. Jaromir Jagr, Vincent t.ecavalier, Teemu Selanne, Joe Thornton and Saku Koivu are among the over 300 of the league's 700plus players who spent part of this season playing in Europe . Whenever a deal· is reached, there won't be a clear-cut way to determine the draft order. Washington had the No. I selection last year and grabbed Russian sensation Alexander Ovechkin . No doubt the lowly Capitals would love to go first again to pick Crosby. Shortly after B'ettman took over as commissioner, a lockout cut the 1994-95 regular season to 48 games, still more than half the schedule. The NHL began preparing for the possibility of another lockout in 1998 when each team. contributed $10 million toward a '$300 million war chest. The collective bargaining agreement, which expired on Sept 15, was extended twice after it was originally signed in 1995. That allowed for the NHL to complete ·its expansion, plans without interrupting play. ~ Thursday,February17,2005 www.mydailysentinel.com Page B6 • The Daily Sentinel .. CLEVELAND - Usually the one with his feet off the floor. LeBron James has every9ne else hanging.

"We switched defensives at halftime," said Wolfe . "We were able to shut down the inside game. We got hurt · in the second quarter with their inside game. We took the inside away." Harder finished with 25 points, while Reese pitched in with 14 points and I0 rebounds for the Raiders (10-11). Meigs (10- 11) was led by Jared Casey with 17 points, including a 11 -13 p'erformance from the free throw line, all of which came in the second half. Eric Cullums added 13 points for the Marauders off the bench. while Carl Wolfe, Jr. scored 10. River Valley was forced to shoot from the outside more , which didn 't' 'bold well for the Raiders all night.

"I just haven' t decided if I' II do it or not. You know me, I'm a last· minute person." James skipped last ,year's dunk contest m Los Angeles, partially because he was upset at not being picked as a reserve for the Eastern Conference's All-Star team as a rookie.
