Vincent was, indeed, a wealthy man. Sincerely, The Family of HoweH W. Vincent Judge: Cities get money from county prisoners CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-5 first, aggravated me was come home from the softball game and take off his clothes in the middle of the floor. He never threw them in the laundry room, and I'd have to pick up those clothes. "I'm really going to miss seeing those clothes in the middle of the floor.

"Our children are missing him so. He would take them any place they wanted to even if they wanted to pick up (auto) parts with him," Linda said. "Now, they are asking for their daddy." At the field. Rick Leach, 40, of West Chester, a longtime friend and teammate, climbed on a picnic table wearing his blue and white Nuss Farms uniform a team sponsored by Steve. He played in the B-Major league, the highest-ranked league at Queen City.

Tournament The Stephen Nuss Memorial Softball Tournament will be held annually at the Queen City Softball Complex, 9267 Cincinnati-Dayton Road. The inaugural tournament is Oct. 3-4. Proceeds will go to a trust fund to help with the education of Nuss' children. For tournament information, call 777-7866.

Donations to the Stephen Nuss Memorial Trust Fund can be sent to: First National Bank of Southwestern Ohio Middletown Office 2 N. Main St. Middletown 45042. and there was a storm; make that a monsoon. Well, Steve said: Til do a 'belly whopper' out there from third base to home Smith said.

I announced it over the speakers, and Steve came running all the way from left field and slid on his belly past home plate. Then he got up and did it from the first-base side. He had a VIP pass ever since." Nuss oldest daughter from his first marriage, Michelle Melton, and her husband, Kevin, came to last week's dedication ceremonies. They came with Nuss' sisters, Mary Detcher, Martha Timberman and Nancy Woody; and his brothers, Chris and David. They all watched as Lois Nuss cut a blue ribbon and they posed for pictures, talked about Steve and reflected on his life and their loss.

Michelle, 19, had trouble holding back tears. After the dedication, Michelle said she had played softball in high school fast-pitch for the Lemon-Monroe High School Hornets in Monroe. Her dad found her a job at the softball complex this year working the concession stand. She didn't play ball just watched. Next year, Michelle vows to dust off her glove and take to the field dedicated to the memory of her father.

"This sport was his love. Someone has to carry that on." Balloons CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-5 average of $49.60 a day and $125.50 overnight at such events. The event has been good at "getting people up the highway to Middletown," said Bryan Derre-berry, president of the Middletown Area Chamber of Commerce. Local motels and hotels were full, and restaurants, shops, service stations and other businesses benefited, Derreberry said. But the event also has inspired a sense of community among Middletown residents, he said.

"What's been so neat is that balloons have been watched throughout the entire community," said Middletown resident Jean Riv-izzino. They were not just limited to Smith Park, she said. "We've been watching them every day, chasing them, and we have some great pictures," said Shirley Gegwetch, who lives west of Middletown. "People out by us are fascinated by it." Mort said most complaints about the event centered on the lack of activities during the day, basically because people did not realize that the balloons just lifted off at dawn and dusk. Entertainment, including bands and an antique car show Sunday, were added later in the week and undoubtedly will be part of the planning for the next two years, she said.

think there's anybody who could throw strikes the way he did. He shut out a team on one hit. "He just kept everybody in the i game. When he was coaching third, City officials dispute the claim. "This is no moneymaker," said Richard Obert, finance director in Garfield Heights.

"This is a losing proposition. The county payments don't cover the city's costs." McMonagle said money can be made by holding down the cost of housing prisoners. He said on a typical day up to 140 prisoners are on a "waiting Hst" for county jail space. The county pays $85 a day to the cities to hold the prisoners until they can be transferred to the county jail or until they go to trial. "They go to McDonald's for breakfast, lunch and dinner," McMonagle said.

"That's a $10 tab," he said, adding that the practice was wasteful. City officials said McMonagle did not take into account wages and benefits paid to jail guards and higher costs for prisoners who must be sent to other jurisdictions. Capt. Pat Kordet, police budget officer in Euclid, said the city will never come close to breaking even. He said the city would be foolish not to seek payment for every prisoner it keeps.

"If the county goes broke, so be it," said Kordet. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND A judge said many Cuyahoga County municipalities are using their jails to make money off the county government. "Crime pays for the people who are enforcing the laws," Judge Richard J. McMonagle said. McMonagle, appointed by a federal judge to monitor the county's progress in relieving jail overcrowding, said municipalities are making money by charging the county to keep prisoners who ordinarily would be kept in the county jail.

In the first half of the year, the county paid more than $1.8 million to house prisoners who could not be kept in the county jail. About $300,000 was paid out during the same period a year ago. Maple Heights alone has received almost $730,000 since the beginning of 1991. Garfield Heights has collected almost $640,000 in jail payments in 1991 and 1992. Euclid has been paid almost $540,000.

McMonagle said cities have deliberately driven up the number of prisoners in their care to maximize payments from the county. think 350 of them knew Steve," said Stan Smith, manager of the softball complex. "You either played with Steve or played against him. And he was fun-loving. "He played six nights here, and we have a gate admission," Smith said.

"One day, he said, 'Hey, I play so much ball around here, why don't you give me a VIP "Then, one night, not long after that, we had a tournament here sending runners home. You'd be coming around third base. No matter what you thought, if he thought you could make home, he'd turn you loose." Nuss was a fierce comoetitor 4 but a friend to everyone.
