The BG News Monday, April 19,1993 The BG Mews Volume 75, Issue 138 Making The Switch Hostages alive, but end to riot still unsure by Rodd Aubrey The Associated Press LUCASVTLLE, Ohio - Negotia- tors trying to end a prison upris- ing said Sunday they have proof that five hostages held by prisoners were alive but did not say whether a settlement to the eight-day Insurrection was im- minent. A state corrections department spokesperson said negotiators at Southern Ohio Correctional Fa- cility have obtained an audio tape proving that all five guards being held hostage were "alive and well." Sharron Kornegay, spokeswo- man for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, said only that hostages' families had heard the tape and verified the guards' identities. She would not say when or how the tape was obtained. Kornegay would not comment on negotiations to end the siege that began April 11 when 450 prisoners took control of a cell- block at the maximum-security Delta Gamma sorority members switch riders during the Delta children from troubled families.

    The Maze Cup is named after George Maze, Sr. He was a tireless volunteer for both the Southern California Tennis Association (SCTA) and Northern California Tennis Association (NCTA). He originated the idea of bringing the top juniors from both sections for practice and competition against each other before the players headed East for the summer National Junior Championships. A little history on George Maze: He was born and raised in Modesto, California. His father was in the farming business in that area. George attended and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1940. He was always a devoted tennis enthusiast during those years and played at the Berkeley Tennis Club. He did what everyone else did at that time. At the outbreak of World War II, he served in the Navy as a lieutenant. George and his wife, Sheila, also a tennis player, were married in 1950. At that time they moved to Bakersfield, where he entered the farming business. They immediately joined the Bakersfield Racquet Club and became die-hard tennis players with George serving on the Board of Directors with a term as president. They had 3 children: George Jr., Joan and Bill. It would go without saying all three were introduced to tennis as soon as they were able to walk. They rapidly progressed through the local tournament scene and played all the tournaments in the Southern California sanctioned circuit. George was probably the most enthusiastic, motivated, creative tennis parent that ever came out of the Bakersfield area. His ideas and determination to make them happen was a leading factor in the success of the Junior Development program in that community.
