A part of
presidential
history
Locals arrive in
Washington, D.C. for
Trump inauguration

OHIO VALLEY —
On Friday, as Donald
J. Trump is sworn in
as American’s 45th
president, locals from
the Ohio Valley will be
there to witness this
history in the making.
Four of those locals
are Petty Ofﬁcer Third
Class Corbin Neville
of the U.S. Navy who
is originally from Gallipolis Ferry in Mason
County, W.Va.; Josh
Winters, a senior at
River Valley High
School in Gallia County, Ohio; and Ruth and
Julie Spaun, a mother
and daughter from
Pomeroy, Ohio.
Neville, who is currently stationed at Fort
Meade in Maryland,
volunteered to be part
of the inauguration and
will be saluting President Trump from the
parade route, in front
of the Trump International Hotel, along with
other ofﬁcers from Fort
Meade.
“I volunteered about
three months ago…I
had to wait for approval,” Neville explained,
talking about having to
travel to Washington
D.C. last Sunday for
rehearsal which was the
ﬁrst time he’d ever been
to the capitol.
As for why he volunteered, Neville said:
“The way I look at it
is, I’d never been to

D.C., I’ve never seen
the president ﬁrst hand
and I’ve never been a
part of history like that.
And, one day I will
look back and say I was
there…and I can say I
saw my Commander in
Chief.”
Neville, a 2014 graduate of Point Pleasant
High School, is a cryptologic technician in
the U.S. Navy which
performs a wide range
of tasks in support of
the national intelligence
gathering effort. He is
married to wife Melissa
who is from Wellston,
Ohio and is the son
of Carla Fields of Gallipolis Ferry and Victor
Neville of Delaware
County, Ohio.
On Inauguration Day,
Corbin was to be on
base by 2 a.m. to catch
a bus to Washington,
D.C. and expected to be
on his feet from 7 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Friday, with a
break at lunch.
“I’m excited he’s
going to be president,”
Neville said. “I’m hoping it (Inauguration
Day) will be a good
time.”
Ruth and Julie
arrived in Washington,
D.C. on Thursday,
taking in the Make
America Great Again
Celebration Concert
and planned on attending the swearing in
ceremony on Friday,
the parade and the
ofﬁcial inaugural ball.

Preparing to ‘prom’
27th annual style show returns
By Miranda Wood
mwood@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio
— Brittany’s Fashions
is preparing for its
27th annual Prom Style
Review at 2 p.m., Sunday
at the Ariel Theatre, with
models from area high
schools participating in
the event.
There will be 100
female teen models and
15 male teen models in
the show from Gallia
Academy, River Valley
and South Gallia high
schools in Gallia County,

as well as from Point
Pleasant Pleasant High
School in Mason County,
Eastern, Southern, and
Meigs high schools in
Meigs County and Jackson High School.
Kate Hardway and
her husband, Marc, of
Cheshire, own Brittany’s
Fashions. Kate is a common face in Brittany’s
and is a recognizable
member of the community. Brittany’s Fashions
started in 1986; the store
was named Brittany after
Hardway’s daughter.
According to Kate:

“The style show started
to help promote the Ariel
Theatre’s efforts, as well
as a way to showcase
dresses for local teenagers who may wish to
attend prom.”
All proceeds from the
event beneﬁt the continuing restoration of
the historic Ariel-Ann
Carson Dater Performing
Arts Centre.
“We love watching our
community get together
for our fashion show,”
Kate said. “It’s a day that
teenagers can gain some
conﬁdence and have
fun.”
Kate also revealed she

has an “eye for formal
wear.”
“I have an intuition for
the types of dresses that
would look best on a girl
and I love to see a girl’s
face light up when you
ﬁnd the dress for them,”
she said. “That ‘wow
moment’ is something
that makes me excited
every year. A gown is a
personal choice and one
of our aims is to assist
the teens or women that
come in. I help them ﬁnd
the perfect gown, and I
promise there is the perfect gown that will look
beautiful for any size,

MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (AP) — A federal
appeals court afﬁrmed
the criminal conviction
of former Massey Energy
CEO Don Blankenship
on Thursday in connection with the deadliest
U.S. mine disaster in four
decades.
The 4th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals dismissed the concerns of
coal industry associations
that Blankenship’s conviction would set a new
precedent putting many
other coal executives at
risk of being criminally
prosecuted for common
safety violations at their
companies.

It was always the intention of Congress, the
court said, to impose
this risk and thus prevent mine operators
from paying inexpensive
ﬁnes rather than making
expensive safety improvements.
The court said the evidence shows Massey was
repeatedly cited for safety
violations at West Virginia’s Upper Big Branch
coal mine before the
2010 explosion that killed
29 men. In 2009 alone,
the U.S. Mine Safety &amp;
Health Administration
identiﬁed 549 violations
there, the court noted.
Blankenship was aware

of violations, receiving daily reports, Judge
James Wynn wrote. Many
concerned improper ventilation and accumulation
of combustible materials.
“Notwithstanding the
numerous citations and
warnings, defendant has
a ‘policy to invariably
press for more production even at mines that he
knew were struggling to
keep up with the safety
laws,’” Wynn wrote. Chief
Judge Roger Gregory and
Senior Judge Andre Davis
agreed.
Blankenship was convicted in 2015 of a misdemeanor, conspiring to
violate the federal mining

safety law, and sentenced
to a maximum year in
prison. The 66-year-old
is scheduled for release
May 10.
Blogging from a federal
prison in California, he
has called himself an
“American political prisoner.”
His attorney William
Taylor said they are reading the ruling and will
decide their response in
the coming days.
The three-judge panel
rejected the argument by
Blankenship’s attorneys
that jury instructions
about “reckless disregard”

Doctors consider
removing tube for
41st President Bush
HOUSTON (AP) —
Doctors treating former
President George H.W.
Bush for pneumonia
considered Thursday
whether to take out a
breathing tube while his
wife, Barbara, said she
was feeling much better
after undergoing treatment for bronchitis.
Family spokesman
Jim McGrath said physicians for the 92-year-old
Bush were evaluating
him for removal of
the tube, which was
inserted Wednesday in
a procedure to clear his
airway.
The 41st president
has been in the intensive care unit at Houston Methodist Hospital
since Wednesday, relying on a ventilator to
breathe. Removing the
tube — a procedure
known as extubation
— would allow Bush
to breathe on his own.
He was struggling to
breathe when he was
admitted to the hospital
Saturday.
Bush “had a good
night’s rest” and
remained in stable condition, McGrath said.
“We are hopeful he will
be discharged from the
ICU in a few days.”
Barbara Bush, 91, was
admitted Wednesday
and diagnosed with
bronchitis after feeling
fatigued and coughing
for weeks. She reported
feeling “1,000 percent
better” on Thursday.
“Antibiotics and some
good rest seem to have
restored her to better
health,” McGrath said.
The couple received
“an uplifting visit”
from longtime friends
former Secretary of
State James Baker and
his wife, Susan, who
also live in Houston,
McGrath said.

President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama
have sent their well
wishes, via Twitter
and a news conference,
respectively. Former
President Bill Clinton
also tweeted: “41 and
Barbara — thinking
about you both and
sending wishes for a
speedy recovery. Love,
42.”
Former President
George W. Bush offered
thanks on Instagram
Thursday for messages
“of love and support for
Mother and Dad.”
“Your prayers are
working: 41 and Mom
are doing much better today and ﬁghting
on,” he said in his ﬁrst
public comments about
their illnesses.
Bush said he and
former ﬁrst lady Laura
Bush “look forward to
representing them” at
Trump’s inauguration
Friday in Washington
“while they continue to
recover in Houston.”
Even though he was
hospitalized, the elder
Bush’s Twitter account
was active Thursday,
offering “hearty congrats” to former Houston Astros baseball
player Jeff Bagwell on
his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
McGrath said while
Bush did not physically
type the tweet, he did
approve it from his
hospital room, calling
the Astros’ former slugging ﬁrst baseman a
“good friend and great
player” and praising his
election Wednesday to
Cooperstown.
Bush was a ﬁrst baseman when he attended
Yale, and was captain
of the Yale team that

10 promises
Trump made
for his first day
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Behind in the polls
in late October, Donald
Trump ventured to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,
to give American voters
a “contract” detailing
what he would achieve
during his ﬁrst day in
ofﬁce. Beneath a list of
18 major actions was
the ﬂourish of Trump’s
familiar signature and
a blank space for voters
to sign.
But as Trump
becomes president on
Friday, it remains hazy
as to which actions he
will immediately take.

The list included
several items likely to
ﬁre up Republican voters but backed up by
scant policy. It includes
“begin removing the
more than 2 million
criminal illegal immigrants” and “cancel
every unconstitutional
executive action … by
President Obama.”

I used to ﬁsh

I hated waiting

guess that doesn’t
make me a very good ﬁsherman, does it? But did
you know that Jesus was
a sort of ﬁsherman too?
Not the kind you might
expect because He was
ﬁshing for people to follow Him.
One day as Jesus was
walking along the shore
of the Sea of Galilee, He
saw two brothers – Simon
Peter and Andrew. They
were throwing nets into
the water to try to catch
ﬁsh because they were
both ﬁshermen. That was
how they made their living. Jesus called to them
and said, “Come, follow
Me, and I will make you
a different kind of ﬁshermen. You will bring in
people, not ﬁsh!” (Matthew 4: 19) Simon Peter
and Andrew immediately
dropped what they were

doing and followed Jesus.
Then as Jesus,
Simon Peter, and
Andrew continued
to walk along the
shore, they saw
two other brothers
– James and John,
sitting in their boat
mending their nets
with their father.
Jesus called out to
those two brothers
to come along as well.
They also dropped their
nets, left their father and
boat, and followed Jesus.
These were the ﬁrst of
Jesus’ disciples. They left
their everyday lives to follow and learn from Jesus.
Then later they told the
world about the love of
the Savior, Jesus Christ.
We are called to be “ﬁshers of men” too. Jesus
wants us to show and tell
others about Him. Did
you ever think of yourself
as a disciple of Christ and
ﬁsherman for people?
We are – at Christ’s command. Be a good disciple by doing what Jesus
wants us to do every day
and telling others what
Jesus has done for you.
We may not be able to
see Jesus in person, but
others can see Him in

and loving. You may be
the Jesus that people see
today! That is awesome
to think about and also a
great responsibility when
you think about it. Jesus
is so proud of us when we
try to represent Him as
He really is in our lives.
I may not be a very
good ﬁsherman for ﬁsh,
but I hope and pray that I
can be a good ﬁsherman
for people, so they can
love Jesus and know of
His love for them. I hope
and pray that for you too!
Let’s pray. Dear Jesus,
thank You for showing us
how to be ﬁshermen for
people, so everyone will
learn about You. Help us
to be good at showing and
telling others how You
love and forgive us. Let us
be the best kind of ﬁshermen possible – reeling
in others to You! In Your
name we pray, Amen.

First Presbyterian Church.

but for a season. Hell is
forever.
Thankfully, in Christ,
and through the power
of His blood, there
is forgiveness of sins
available. (cf. Ephesians
1:7) Yet this possibility
of forgiveness does
not make sin less
dangerous. “Shall we
continue in sin?” the
Bible asks. And then
promptly supplies the
answer: “Certainly
not!” (cf. Romans
6:1-4) Indeed, even
after turning to Christ
we are warned about
the dangers of the
deceitfulness of sin,
and the peril of falling
away from the salvation
Christ offers. (cf.
Hebrews 3:12-15) Sin
remains an ever-present
danger, and one that is
worse than all others we
can face in this world.
So, the next time we
are tempted to worry
about this thing or
that, some affliction of
the body, or physical
threat; let us bear in
mind that no matter
how dangerous such
a thing seems to us,
sin is worse. And the
steps we might take to
avoid a physical malady;
we should strive ever
harder to avoid that
spiritual malady which
carries with it always
eternal consequences.

You will continue to live
with a certain bitterness

contribute to the general

understanding that God

HURRICANE, W.Va.
— One losing skid came
to an end on Wednesday
night, unfortunately for
the Lady Knights, it
wasn’t theirs.
The Point Pleasant girls
basketball team dropped
its 11th straight game, on
Wednesday night in Putnam County, falling by a
29-15 count to previously
winless Hurricane.
The Lady Knights
(1-13) were held scoreless in the ﬁrst quarter, as
the Lady Redskins (1-10)
built a 9-0 lead. PPHS
snapped out of it and
scored nine points in the
second stanza, but Hurricane also scored nine in
the quarter and took the
18-9 lead into the half.
The Lady Redskins
outscored Point Pleasant
4-to-3 in the third quarter,
giving the hosts a 22-12
lead with eight minutes to
play. Hurricane ﬁnished
the game with a 7-to-3
run, capping off the 29-15
victory.
Point Pleasant was
paced by Peyton Campbell
with ﬁve points, followed
by Morgan Miller and
Lanea Cochran with three
each. Allison Henderson
and Isabelle Wagelmans
rounded out the PPHS
scoring with two points
apiece.
Hurricane was led by
Callen Bostic with 11 and
Maddie Pifer with nine.
Harika Yamaguchi, Tahya
Schmidt, Brooke Tinsley
and Brooke Lucas each
had two points for the victors, while Sarah Westfall
chipped in with one.
Point Pleasant was
1-of-6 (16.7 percent) from
the free throw line, while
Hurricane was 3-of-15 (20
percent).
The Lady Redskins —
who had only come within
single digits once in their
losing skid — are back in
action on Thursday when
Woodrow Wilson visits
HHS.
Point Pleasant will
try for its ﬁrst win since
December 3, when Lincoln County visits PPHS,
on Friday.

MASON, W.Va. — The Lady
Falcons almost pulled it off.
Visiting Wirt County made a
14-6 surge over the ﬁnal 5:37 of
regulation and ultimately held
on for a 47-36 decision over the
Wahama girls basketball team
in a non-conference matchup
at Gary Clark Court in Mason
County.
The Lady Falcons (1-11) led
only 2:48 of the 32-minute affair,
but the hosts never trailed by
more than two possessions at
the end of each of the ﬁrst three
periods.
WHS twice pulled to within
a possession three minutes into
the fourth quarter — the last
of which came at 33-30 with
5:48 left — but the Lady Tigers
(3-10) reeled off nine consecutive points over the next two
minutes for a 42-30 cushion.
Wirt County eventually led
by as many as 16 points (47-31)
with 1:38 remaining, but the Red
and White scored the ﬁnal ﬁve
points to wrap up the 11-point
setback.
The difference in the outcome
ultimately came from downtown
as WCHS netted all four successful trifectas in the game, all
of which came in the ﬁrst three
cantos. The guests made their
ﬁnal three-pointer when Taylor
Anderson scored at the 1:11
mark for their largest lead at that
point at 30-21.

The Lady Falcons received
four straight points from Maddy
VanMatre to close out the third
period for a 30-25 deﬁcit, then
VanMatre capped a small 5-3 run
with a basket that led to 33-30
contest with 5:48 left.
Wahama missed its ﬁnal eight
shots of regulation, while the
Lady Tigers made 7-of-13 shot
attempts in the fourth to secure
their largest margin victory of
the year.
Afterwards, WHS coach John
Arnott was pleased with the
overall effort over the course of
the night — but there were a few
little things that ultimately came
back to haunt his troops.
Still, more than anything, the
second-year mentor was encouraged to see four quarters of hard
work.
“I was really pleased with the
effort of the kids, but we missed
some good opportunities on the
offensive end and we lost track
of their outside shooters a bit
too much early on. The difference in this game was the outside shooting early on,” Arnott
said. “We had a lot of kids
contribute some good minutes
tonight, but we just didn’t ﬁnish
things when we had the chance.
We are still improving though,
and tonight I thought we showed
some real signs of that.”
The Lady Falcons led 3-0 and
5-4 over the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of
regulation, but Wirt County took
a permanent lead at the 2:46
mark as Cori Hughes nailed a

trifecta for a 7-5 edge. Anderson
capped a 6-1 run with a trifecta
with 32 seconds left that led to
a 10-6 edge after eight minutes
of play.
Both teams traded baskets
throughout the course of the second canto, which led to an 18-16
contest with 1:14 left in the
half. Hughes, however, came up
with a trifecta with 11 seconds
remaining, allowing the guests
to take a 21-16 cushion into the
break.
The Lady Falcons were outrebounded by a 44-37 overall
margin, with Wirt County also
claiming a 20-17 edge on the
offensive glass. Wahama also
committed 20 of the 42 turnovers in the contest.
The Red and White were
13-of-55 from the ﬁeld for 24
percent, including a 0-for-11
effort from behind the arc. The
hosts were also 10-of-25 at the
free throw line for 40 percent.
VanMatre led WHS with a
double-double effort of 13 points
and 11 rebounds, followed by
Hannah Rose with 12 points and
Nena Hunt with eight markers.
Grace Haddox and Gracie VanMeter concluded the Wahama
tally with two points and one
point, respectively. VanMeter
also hauled in seven rebounds
and Hunt grabbed ﬁve caroms in

Bagwell, Raines, Ivan Rodriguez elected to Hall of Fame
NEW YORK (AP) — Bags
and Rock and Pudge are heading to Cooperstown.
After a vote that could prove
to be a turning point how
Steroids Era stars are viewed,
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens could be joining them in
the next few years.
Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines and
Ivan Rodriguez were elected
to baseball’s Hall of Fame on
Wednesday, earning the honor
as Trevor Hoffman and Vladimir Guerrero fell just short of
the necessary 75 percent.
Bonds and Clemens, their
careers tainted by allegations
of steroids use, were passed
over for the ﬁfth straight year
by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America but each
received a majority of votes for
the ﬁrst time.
“They were just awesome,”
Bagwell said. “Their demeanor,
the way they went about their

business, was just amazing,
and I respect them.”
On the ballot for the seventh
time after falling 15 votes short
last year, Bagwell appeared on
381 of 442 ballots for 86.2 percent. Players needed 332 votes
this year.
“Anxiety was very, very
high,” Bagwell said. “It’s a
weird thing to be a Hall of
Famer. I wrote it on a ball
tonight. It was kind of crazy, so
it was cool.”
In his 10th and ﬁnal year of
eligibility, Raines was at 380
(86 percent). He was just the
ﬁfth player elected in his ﬁnal
year of eligibility after Red
Rufﬁng (1967), Joe Medwick
(1968), Ralph Kiner (1975)
and Jim Rice (2009).
“Last night was probably the
worst night I’ve had out of the
10 years,” Raines said. “I knew
I was close, but I wasn’t sure.”
Raines started at 24.3 per-

cent in 2008 and jumped from
55 percent in 2015 to 69.8 percent last year. He said modern
metrics boosted his chances
from days when voters considered primarily whether players
had 3,000 hits, 500 homers or
300 wins.
“I think social media played
a big role,” he said. “There are
some things that I did that a lot
of the guys that’s already in the
Hall of Fame didn’t actually do.
So I think it kind of made them
look a lot at me a lot closer and
they looked a lot deeper, and I
think the more they looked, I
think the better it turned out
for me.”
Rodriguez , at 45 the youngest current Hall member,
received 336 votes (76 percent).
“I’ve been having trouble
sleeping for three days,” he
said.
Rodriguez, the 52nd player

elected in his ﬁrst year of eligibility, joins Johnny Bench in
1989 as the only catchers voted
in on their ﬁrst ballot.
“Johnny Bench was my favorite player growing up,” Pudge
added.
Hoffman was ﬁve votes short
and Guerrero 15 shy.
“Falling short of this class is
disappointing,” Hoffman said
in a statement. “I am truly
humbled to have come so close.
I hope to one day soon share a
Hall of Fame celebration with
my family, friends, teammates
and all of San Diego.”
Edgar Martinez was next at
58.6 percent, followed by Clemens at 54.1 percent, Bonds at
53.8 percent, Mike Mussina at
51.8 percent, Curt Schilling at
45 percent, Lee Smith at 34.2
percent and Manny Ramirez at
23.8 percent.

Marlins acquire RHP Straily from Reds for 3 minor leaguers
MIAMI (AP) — The
Miami Marlins traded
two of their top pitching
prospects Thursday to
acquire immediate rotation help.
Miami obtained
14-game winner Dan
Straily from the Cincinnati Reds for three minor
leaguers, including righthanders Luis Castillo and
Austin Brice, both highly
regarded prospects in the
Marlins’ thin system. Outﬁelder Isaiah White was
also dealt to Cincinnati.
Straily had the best
year of his career in 2016,

when he went 14-8 for
the last-place Reds with a
3.76 ERA and 162 strikeouts in 34 games.
The Marlins earlier
acquired another former
Reds pitcher, Edinson
Volquez. They’re optimistic they can end a 12-year
playoff drought this season despite the death last
September of ace Jose
Fernandez in a boating
accident.
The rotation will also
include holdovers Wei-Yin
Chen, Adam Conley and
Tom Koehler. Miami’s
starting ﬁve went a com-

bined 49-43 last year, and
manager Don Mattingly
also expects to have a
strong and deep bullpen
led by All-Star closer A.J.
Ramos.
Straily, 28, has a career
record of 27-21 with a
4.24 ERA. The righthander tied for the most
homers allowed in the
NL last year with 31, but
as a ﬂyball pitcher he’s
a good ﬁt for spacious
Marlins Park.
Miami will be Straily’s
ﬁfth team since he broke
into the majors in 2012.
He has also pitched for

Oakland, the Cubs and
Houston.
Castillo, 24, was the
Marlins’ minor league
pitcher of the year
and the Florida State
League pitcher of the
year in 2016. He went
a combined 8-6 with a
2.26 ERA in 26 games
for Single-A Jupiter and
Double-A Jacksonville,
and his ERA ranked third
among all minor league
pitchers with at least 24
starts.
“Castillo has a power
arm, and we believe he is
trending up,” Reds gen-

eral manager Dick Williams said in a statement.
“We think he has a very
good chance to start or
be a late-inning reliever.
He has improved his control over time while demonstrating plus velocity,
which he can maintain
deep into a game. He has
the impact potential we
were looking to add.”
Brice, 24, made his
major league debut in
2016, when he had a
7.07 ERA but held opponents to a .173 batting
average in 15 games out
of the Marlins’ bullpen.

He went 4-7 with a
2.74 ERA in 32 appearances and 13 starts
split between Jacksonville and Triple-A New
Orleans.
“Brice showed promise as a starting pitching
prospect in the minor
leagues,” Williams said.
“He represents another
exciting young pitcher
that adds to our depth.”
White, 20, has hit .247
with 18 stolen bases in
89 games in two seasons
with the Gulf Coast
League Marlins and
Single-A Batavia.

Raiders file papers to move from Oakland to Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) —
The Oakland Raiders have
ﬁled paperwork to move
to Las Vegas.
The NFL and ofﬁcials
in Nevada conﬁrmed
Thursday that the team
is asking league owners
to approve the move,
although the team made
no immediate comment
and a group that wants to
keep the team in Oakland
vowed it was still in the
game and “playing to
win.”
Clark County Commission Chairman Steve
Sisolak made the ﬁling of
paperwork public on Twitter, and told The Associated Press he spoke with
team ofﬁcials.
“I am happy to see the
process moving forward,
and greatly appreciate
the commitment of the

Raiders and work of the
Adelson family to the
hope of making Las Vegas
the home of the Raiders,”
Sisolak said.
Sisolak chairs an elected
panel with oversight of
the Las Vegas Strip and
was part of an 11-member panel appointed by
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval to study plans for the
proposal backed by billionaire casino owner Sheldon
Adelson’s company, Las
Vegas Sands Corp., to
build a domed stadium to
lure the Raiders to town.
Andy Abboud, the
Sands executive working on the project, called
the ﬁling “one of those
moments that makes it
real” and vowed that necessary negotiations will be
completed.
“The people of Las

Vegas should be excited
that the NFL is coming to
town,” Abboud told AP.
“Business deals take time
to work out, but everything will work out in the
end.”
Sandoval also conﬁrmed
the ﬁling, crediting Raiders owner Mark Davis
with fulﬁlling a promise to
seek the move.
“Mark Davis is a man
of his word and the ﬁling
of the Raiders’ application for relocation of the
franchise with the NFL
is a signiﬁcant step in
bringing the team to Las
Vegas,” Sandoval said.
A site hasn’t been
picked for the proposed
$1.9 billion, 65,000-seat
stadium. It is expected to
be close to the Las Vegas
Strip and tens of thousands of hotel rooms.

Sandoval and Nevada
lawmakers have committed $750 million in hotel
tax revenue toward the
project, Adelson’s company has promised $650
million, and Davis and
the Raiders pledged $500
million from the team and
the NFL.
Any relocation to Las
Vegas must be approved
by three-fourths of NFL
team owners.
The league said the
Raiders’ application would
be reviewed in coming
weeks by league staff and
stadium and ﬁnance committees “as is provided for
under the NFL policy and
procedures for proposed
franchise relocations.”
The Raiders made no
immediate comment.

Browns add 5 defensive
assistants to staff
CLEVELAND
(AP) — Former
Pro Bowler Clyde
Simmons has been
hired by the Cleveland Browns to
coach their defensive line.
Simmons, who
played 15 seasons
in the NFL, spent
the past five years
as an assistant with
the Los Angeles
Rams. He’s coming to Cleveland
to work under
new defensive
coordinator Gregg
Williams, who has

been brought in by
Browns coach Hue
Jackson to fix one
of the league’s worst
defenses.
With the Rams,
Simmons coached
three-time Pro Bowl
defensive tackle
Aaron Donald, the
2014 defensive
rookie of the year.
He also helped
Robert Quinn set a
single-season franchise record with 19
sacks in 2013.
The Rams finished third in the
NFL with 217 total

sacks during Simmons’ tenure. He
also played for Arizona, Jacksonville
and Chicago. He
began his coaching
career as an intern
with the New York
Jets in 2010.
Simmons was
a two-time Pro
Bowler with the
Philadelphia Eagles.
He recorded 121½
career sacks.
Williams also
added his son,
Blake, to Cleveland’s staff to coach
the linebackers. The

younger Williams
spent last season
working in the
league office.
The Browns also
added Jerod Kruse
(assistant defensive
backs), DeWayne
Walker (defensive
backs), and Bob
Wylie (offensive
line) to Hue Jackson’s reconfigured
staff.
Jackson fired

$1.3 billion, 55,000-seat
stadium in Oakland said
the ﬁling wasn’t a surprise. The investors are
anchored by Hall of Famer
Ronnie Lott and former
quarterback Rodney
Peete.
“The team is doing
what it needs to do to
keep its options open in
Las Vegas,” the statement
from Lott and Fortress
Investment Group said.
“We will also be providing
additional information
and data to the Raiders
and the NFL so that they
can see there is a real and
viable option to remain in
Oakland.”
Should the Raiders
be allowed to move to
Nevada, it would be the
third relocation approval
in one year.

Bonds and Clemens are
back on the ballot next
year, along with newcomers such as Chipper Jones,
Jim Thome, Andruw
Jones, Scott Rolen,
Johan Santana and Omar
Vizquel. Here are a few
more things to watch:
PUBLIC BALLOTS
The BBWAA voted
to release each voter’s
Hall of Fame choices to
the public, starting next
year. That change will
add transparency to the
process, although there
are some concerns about
groupthink and peer pressure.
“I’m very conﬂicted
about this,” Mellinger

said. “I applaud the reasons that they are public.
We are a profession that
demands transparency in
others, so why shouldn’t
we have the same here? I
get all that. I can’t argue
against any of that. The
part that I’m uncomfortable with is: I hope that
people still vote their
hearts and their minds
and don’t change based
on, you know, ‘I don’t
want to get ripped on
Twitter.’”
SABERMETRIC
FAVORITES
Raines had plenty of
support in sabermetric
circles.
“You’ve got these new
stats. You’ve got WAR
(wins above replacement).
You’ve got all this stuff,”
Raines said. “Back in the
day, when you looked at a
Hall of Famer, you looked
at 500 home runs, 300
wins and 3,000 hits, and
a lot of times if you didn’t
reach those criteria, it was
kind of hard for anyone
to kind of look at you as
a Hall of Famer. But I
think the way the game
has changed today, the
way they look at the stats
and everything, it has
changed.”

of modern stats could
be Mike Mussina, who
achieved 51.8-percent
approval this year. Mussina never won a Cy Young
Award, but according to
Baseball-Reference.com,
his career WAR is comparable to that of Nolan
Ryan and Bob Gibson.
LOGJAM
Nearly half of this year’s
442 voters used the maximum 10 slots on their
ballots, and although three
people were elected, players like Trevor Hoffman
(74.0 percent) and Vladimir Guerrero (71.7) fell
just short, meaning they’ll
be back to take up votes
again next year. With
some credible new candidates eligible in 2018, the
10-player limit could come
into play for quite a few
voters.
Lynn Henning of
The Detroit News has
abstained from voting at
all when he’s felt there
were more than 10 Hallworthy players. He didn’t
have that problem this
year, but it could happen
again.
“The 10-ballot restriction is silly, it’s perverse,
it’s unjust, it’s convoluted.
It’s a complete affront
to players who deserve

recognition, when they’ve
earned recognition and
are otherwise screened
out because of some arbitrary adherence to this
number 10,” Henning
said. “I think it’s the most
outlandishly preposterous
restriction I’ve ever been
exposed to in the realm of
professional voting.”
SPECIALISTS
One challenge Hall voters now face is evaluating
players who had more
specialized roles — like
designated hitters and
closers.
“It’s easy to ﬁnd context for a Vladimir Guerrero or a Mike Mussina
because there are tons of
outﬁelders in the Hall of
Fame, there are tons of
starting pitchers in the
Hall of Fame,” said Ryan
Fagan of Sporting News.
“Deﬁning the context
for a DH or for a relief
pitcher, that’s more challenging, because there
aren’t a lot of guys like
that in there.”
Fagan supported Edgar
Martinez, a DH, but did
not vote for closers Hoffman, Billy Wagner and
Lee Smith. None of those
four made it in. All but
Smith will be on the ballot again in 2018.
