Andy Roddick, an Omaha, native, also advanced, beating Bohdan Ulihrach, 7- 6 (7), 7-6 (3). Roddick's second victory in his first appearance at Monte Carlo was a boost for the 10th seed less than six weeks before the start of the French Open, where he reached the third round last year.

"She was getting a lot of balls back and giving me no pace." In a third-round match, third-seeded Serena Williams beat Nathalie Dechy, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.

Didier Gailhaguet, the French skating federation president involved in the Salt Lake City judging scandal in the pairs competition, said Wednesday he had "never" ordered any judge to fix a competition in order to help French skaters win. His remarks came in response to a report in The Washington Post that French skating judge Alain Miquel sent a letter of complaint about Gailhaguet to the International Skating Union this week. Miquel said that under orders from Gailhaguet, he distorted the marks of French, Russian and German pairs skaters at the 1998 world championships in Minneapolis. "He asked me to over-mark certain skaters and under-mark other skaters," Miquel was quoted as saying, NHL PLAYOFFS mar (Marion) ii, I. uubuque senior 23; 8.

It's probably difficult at best at this point." Catch-22 The proposed $52 million track, a one-mile asphalt oval southeast of Newton, is expected to draw Indy Racing League, NASCAR truck and minor-league stock-car and jv iuajla mi iviij will ouo-AJj lm Paid By: Bill Sailer U.S. Senate Committee LSL sports-car races. The leader of the project, Larry Clement of Fort Dodge, owns a stock car that competes in NASCAR and ARCA races. He has hinted that several wealthy NASCAR entrepreneurs are interested in the Newton track, but he won't name them.

"One of them is a company that owns a major speedway a big speedway in another state," Clement said. 'We're not at liberty to identify them because of confidentiality reasons. They don't want to be identified yet. They are for real, I can tell you that." Without specific information about Clement's investors, Vision Iowa leaders say they won't award the money to the project. Meanwhile, Clement says his investors won't commit to the project without the state money.

"The state needs to fund this thing and get the ball rolling so we can get these people to commit," Clement said. "We followed every step, did everything they wanted us to do, but our investors want to know they have the state backing before they commit to the project." Clement told the Vision Iowa board in October that he had lined up $7 million to $10 million from private investors. The board requested documentation, but Con-nell said Tuesday that the board still hadn't received written proof. Connell estimated that private investors need to purchase at least 30 percent of the bonds being sold by Jasper County and the city of Newton to help finance the track before Vision Iowa will award the $6.5 million to the project. Clement said he has written commitments from investors to purchase one-third of the bonds contingent on the project receiving the state money.

"Our investors are looking at us and saying, What is the state going to do? Clement said. "A lot of our investors dont want themselves identified, so we're not at the point where we can divulge names." As a result, the Vision Iowa money and the speedway plan is in limbo. "We're in this catch-22 Past problems The project has a history of trouble with its primary investors. Jerry Carroll, a Cincinnati developer who built Kentucky Speedway, was the original lead investor on the Newton project. After Carroll backed out, Jerry Lowrie, who's building Yosemite Motor Speedway in California, became the lead investor.

Lowrie backed out of the project in September amid controversy.

One local resident, Marvin Woods, said the Newton speedway plan "reeks of something underhanded." Clement, however, said he had other investors to replace Lowrie. 'We've got a whole lot of people waiting to see what the state will do," Clement said. "It just isn't big enough for some of the big boys, but we do have some very interested people." The speedway is the only project still vying for the remaining money from Vision Iowa, a state fund that helps develop cultural, recreational and educational facilities with regional appeal. Vision Iowa already has awarded more than $200 million to projects in Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Dubuque and Davenport.

Among the projects receiving the money was the Iowa Events Center, an arena development in downtown Des Moines. Connell said the board won't consider awarding the money to the Newton speedway until investors step forward. "We need to know that these people can do it," Connell said. "We don't want this project to end up in a void because this outside money was not really there. WeVe been extremely tight with every project.

As we run out of money, we're not going to lose that reputation of due diligence."
