He pointed out that Holzer is one of the largest

many other rural healthcare systems. He spoke
of poverty in rural Appalachia and how it was
critical that federal and
state legislatures understand the limitations that
healthcare systems face
from a patient, staffing,
recruiting, retention,

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
– After placing 8th in
the Philadelphia qualifier
round of American Ninja
Warrior, Marshall University student Tyler Cravens
said he knew he had more
to give. In hopes of winning, he will return to the
arena for the 2017 season
of American Ninja Warrior, an obstacle course
race on NBC that tests
competitors’ strength,
agility and climbing ability.
Cravens, a 27-year-old
exercise science student
from Chesapeake, Ohio,
said competing on the
show has helped him
grow personally and gain
more confidence. He will
compete in the Cleveland
qualifier round with the
episode’s air date scheduled for late June.
“I was always the skinny, weak kid who wasn’t
strong and would get
picked on. I would love to
use this platform and my
experience on the show
to reach out and motivate
others going through a
tough time,” Cravens said.
“As soon as I returned
home from Philadelphia
last year, I felt the community’s support and I knew I
wanted to pursue another
chance on the show. It just
made me want to try that
much harder to win.”
Cravens said he fell in
the finals last year, but
that didn’t stop him from
overcoming that obstacle
and training for another
season. With over 100,000
applicants this season,

THEIR VIEW
Political moderates,
are you out there?
By Dylan Whitehead
Contributing columnist
I’m a part of the
political middle, and I
think my kind is going
extinct.
In the interest of
full disclosure, I am a
registered Democrat
and am left-of-center,
though not too far left.
I’ve always considered
myself moderate, pragmatic and not swayed
by pure ideology.
I attended a relatively liberal university where I was
routinely disturbed
and even disgusted
by the statements of
some of my “progressive” peers. Those
same peers thought I
was a neocon because
I didn’t vote for the
Green Party candidate. I felt like ripping
down signs posted
around campus that
said “Support the
insurgency in Fallujah”
during the height of
the Iraq war. I cringed
at the students who
gathered around U.S.
military recruiters at
a job fair and shouted
them down any time
an interested student
approached them.
I’m the most conservative member of
my immediate family.
Republican friends
generally think I’m a
bleeding heart, and
many liberal friends
think I’m a conservative. I’ve always taken
a little bit of pride in
the fact that the hard
core on both sides of
the aisle rejected my
political beliefs.
Recently, I attended
a small get-together
with family and some
people I had never
met before. When I
was introduced to
another partygoer, I
was presented by my
name, my relationship
to the host and as a
“left-winger.” I immediately objected to this
categorization because
I’m not by any definition left wing.
When questioned
about the presidential
election, I revealed I
had voted for Hillary
Clinton. I was then
asked if I supported
Kathy Griffin’s recent
ill-advised foray into
mock decapitation. I
answered a question
with a question, and
asked whether he
supported Richard
Spencer and the altright movement. We
tried to find common
ground, and we all got
out of the conversation unscathed, but
it was a microcosm
of the polarization
Americans have come
to expect out of our
country’s new political
Weltanschauung.
These days, it’s common for us to demonize our political opponents and to define
them by the fringes of
their parties. We all
need to do a better job
of condemning those
within our ranks who
are helping to destroy
the American moderate.
I’ll start by denouncing Kathy Griffin
for her tasteless and
offensive “joke.”
We not only need
denounce it, but also
avoid the temptation to draw parallels
between racist memes
spread about President Barack Obama.
Pretending to hold
a sitting president’s
severed head is abhorrent, period.
By the same token,
supporters of President Donald Trump
have to stop responding to criticisms of
him by simply stating
that Hillary Clinton or
Obama were worse.
This doesn’t require
any critical thought
or introspection and
serves only to prompt
all sides of an argument to retreat into
their comfortably
entrenched preconceived beliefs.
I also wholly condemn the students at
Evergreen State College in Washington
who asked all white
students and faculty
not to come to the
campus for a day, as
part of an annual “day
of absence” tradition.
This doesn’t further
the cause of social justice, it’s an act of overt
racism.
Similarly, there
are the students at
universities across
the country who are
protesting and rioting
to keep rabble-rousers
like Ann Coulter
and Richard Spencer
from being allowed to
speak. It’s important
to distinguish protesting their beliefs from
those who protest
their right to speak
those beliefs. The
former are as American as apple pie. The
latter are enemies of
freedom of speech,
and just as odious
to me as those who
vandalized a bumper
sticker on my wife’s
vehicle in the days
after the election, or
the person who stole
a sign out of our yard
that simply expressed
support for our neighbors, no matter their
background.
I’m not naive
enough to believe that
the polarization of
American opinion that
has been building for
decades will change
anytime soon. But I
do call on the principled among us to put
country and reason
above party, whether
you’re a Democrat or
Republican. Condemn
the extremists in
your own ranks, think
critically about your
position without just
thinking about how
evil your opponent is
and acknowledge that
extremism and ultrapolarization are harmful to the very fabric
of our government
and society.
If some of us can
start to build on those
ideas, we’ll go a long
way toward reviving
an important and
seemingly forgotten
political group: pragmatic moderates.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Beyond and beneath the pomp and ceremony
By Silvio Laccetti
Contributing columnist
High school graduations offer up the possibility of new beginnings
to all attendees — not
just the students getting
their diplomas.
Every participant, if
he or she thinks deeply
and looks beyond the
platitudes and facades of
the ceremony, can find
greater meaning in the
event.
Consider the various
awards given to seniors.
With so many distributed, it’s easy enough to
not give one much more
thought than another.
But have you ever
stopped to consider how
a particular award came
to be? By whom was it
established, and why?
Many such awards
call attention to overlooked issues, underserved demographics,
or long-ago individual
achievements. Go ahead
and study one of these
awards; it could lead
to you becoming more
active in your community.
In my case, having
retired after four decades
of teaching, I decided
to establish a modestly
endowed nonprofit foundation to address educational issues close to my
heart.
The foundation, as
of this commencement
season, has begun giving
awards and other recognitions to high school
graduates in a variety
of areas. The way the
awards are structured
demonstrates how even
small acknowledgements
can contain big hidden
meanings.
One focuses on the
salutatorian, the secondranked member of a
graduating class, who
often gives an opening
speech of greeting at
commencement. Some
schools give salutatorians no recognition.
That’s where the Sally
award, as I’m calling it,
comes into play.
You can’t take a closer
look at the salutatorian
issue without confronting many of the problems
in our education establishment and our culture
in regards to being No. 1.
When you consider factors ranging from grade
inflation and honorscourse considerations
to adolescent angst and
the pressure to succeed,
it’s not surprising to see
more and more schools
doing away with class
rankings altogether.
Examples of extreme
positions in this debate
include a school in Tulsa,
Okla., recognizing two
valedictorians and two
salutatorians, one set
for students graded on a
5-point scale, the other
for students on a 4-point
scale. One high school in
Arlington, Va., once had
117 valedictorians out of
457 graduates. And the
Ivy League’sDartmouth
last year named eight
valedictorians and seven
salutatorians, each of
whom had gotten a single A-minus during their
time on campus.
And yes, civil lawsuits
contesting rankings are
not uncommon.
On the cultural front,
we no longer give much
value to second-place
finishers. In sports,
it’s common to see distraught runners-up, and
the NCAA basketball
tournament, which used
to include a third-place
contest, doesn’t bother
with it anymore.
In giving out Sally
awards, I’m taking a
stand: Rank is important, grades do matter,
and the highest levels of
achievement — including second-place finishes
— must continue to be
identified and acknowledged.
With that in mind,
and being an ItalianAmerican, I decided to
create an award for excellence in Italian language
and cultural studies.
It’s named for Giuseppe
Garibaldi, the most
important figure in the
creation of Italy in the
19th century, who even
among Italian-Americans
often goes overlooked.
Raffaello, Michelangelo, Leonardo (da Vinci)
and Donatello — names
well-known by “Ninja
Turtles” fans — are far
better known than the
political and military
leader who, arguably, was
the first celebrity of the
modern age. To promote
the legend and legacy of
such an historical world
figure — he once booked
a 50-city tour of England
(canceled by Queen Victoria) and was offered
a command position
in President Abraham
Lincoln’s Union Army
— I am working with
the Garibaldi museum
in Staten Island, N.Y.,
to broaden the award’s
reach and impact.
Other awards will
follow, including one
focused on Native Americans and education in the
STEAM fields of science,
technology, engineering,
art and mathematics.
You get the picture.
There are lots of educational and societal issues
that need addressing.
I strongly believe
awards can make a meaningful difference, that
recognition spurs recipients and others to look
beyond and beneath the
obvious to consider large
implicit issues. Hopefully, this year’s high school
commencements will be
the beginning for lots of
new initiatives.
TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Wednesday,
June 7, the 158th day
of 2017. There are 207
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On June 7, 1942, the
Battle of Midway ended
in a decisive victory for
American naval forces
over Imperial Japan,
marking a turning point
in the Pacific War.
On this date:
In 1654, King Louis
XIV, age 15, was
crowned in Rheims, 11
years after the start of
his reign.
In 1776, Richard
Henry Lee of Virginia
offered a resolution to
the Continental Congress stating “That
these United Colonies
are, and of right ought
to be, free and independent States.”
In 1892, Homer
Plessy, a “Creole of
color,” was arrested
for refusing to leave a
whites-only car of the
East Louisiana Railroad. (Ruling on his
case, the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld “separate
but equal” racial segregation, a concept it
renounced in 1954.)
In 1917, the Lions
Clubs service organization was founded in
Chicago. Actor-singer
Dean Martin was born
Dino Paul Crocetti in
Steubenville, Ohio.
In 1929, the sovereign
state of Vatican City
came into existence as
copies of the Lateran
Treaty were exchanged
in Rome.

“I might repeat to myself, slowly and
soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful
from minds profound; if I can remember any
of the damn things.”

Harlow died in Los
Angeles at age 26.
In 1958, singer-songwriter Prince was born
Prince Rogers Nelson in
Minneapolis.
In 1965, the U.S.
Supreme Court, in
Griswold v. Connecticut, struck down, 7-2, a
Connecticut law used to
prosecute a Planned Parenthood clinic in New
Haven for providing
contraceptives to married couples.
In 1967, the Haight
Ashbury Free Medical
Clinic opened in San
Francisco. Author-critic
Dorothy Parker, famed
for her caustic wit, died
in New York at age 73.
In 1977, Britons
thronged London to celebrate the silver jubilee
of Queen Elizabeth II,
who was marking the
25th year of her reign.
In 1981, Israeli military planes destroyed
a nuclear power plant
in Iraq, a facility the
Israelis charged could
have been used to make
nuclear weapons.

Rio’s Lewis named
honorable mention
All-American
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing
RIO GRANDE, Ohio - University of Rio Grande
senior Daryin Lewis has been named as an Honorable Mention selection to the 2017 National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
All-America Baseball team.
The squad, which was announced Tuesday by
the NAIA national office, was chosen by the NAIA
All-America committee.
Lewis, a pitcher/third baseman for the RedStorm, made the team as a pitcher.
The Circleville, Ohio native earned River States
Conference Pitcher of the Year honors after posting a 9-2 record with one save and a 2.16 earned
run average for the RedStorm, who finished
34-19-1 after a season-ending loss to West Virginia
University-Tech in the RSC Tournament.
In 15 appearances on the mound - 10 of which
were starts - the right-hander authored a pair
of complete games and one shutout. In 66-2/3
innings, Lewis allowed 72 hits and just 16 earned
runs, while walking 14 and striking out 46.
At the plate, Lewis batted a team-best .362 with
12 doubles, a triple, five home runs and 37 runs
batted in. He also finished with a team-high 64
hits and was hit by a pitch a team-high 13 times.
Lewis was one of two players from the River
States Conference to be recognized on the squad.

Flood-repaired course
almost ready for
Greenbrier Classic
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP)
— There was some concern right after historic
flooding forced the cancellation of last summer’s
Greenbrier Classic that the Old White TPC course
in West Virginia wouldn’t even be ready for this
year’s PGA Tour event.
Count Bubba Watson among those doubters.
Watson, whose summer home at The Greenbrier
resort lost power during the June 23, 2016, storm,
saw the destruction on Old White for himself.
Not only was the Greenbrier Classic scheduled
for two weeks later an afterthought, there was the
daunting task of removing tons of debris and silt
and getting the course in playable condition for
this year’s tournament that starts July 6.
“I didn’t think it was doable, Watson said, “but
they proved me wrong.”
Nearly a year since flooding from torrential rains
left 23 people dead in West Virginia, including 15
in the county where the resort is located, most of
the restoration work has been done with cosmetic
fixes still remaining. An army of workers got it
done, meeting resort owner and now-current West
Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s edict that there would
be a tournament this year.
“That town revolves around the hotel, the resort,
so rebuilding the resort and the golf course is a
step in the right direction to push people to make
the city great again,” Watson said. “It’s beautiful to
see. It’s beautiful to see the people working, taking
pride and getting the tournament back again.”
Watson said he had never seen so much rain
— forecasters said as much as nine inches fell in
Greenbrier County.
The bodies of three flood victims who lived in
White Sulphur Springs were found on resort property. There was trash, tires, vehicles, appliances
and uprooted trees everywhere on Old White.

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— No capes, but they
were still a dynamic duo.
Wahama landed two
players on the West
Virginia Sports Writers’
Association Class A allstate softball teams for
the 2017 campaign — as
voted on by a select
panel of media members
throughout the Mountain
State.
Hannah Rose and
Maddy VanMatre each
garnered all-state accolades for their efforts
this past season, a spring
that witnessed the Lady
Falcons put together one
of the more historic campaigns in school history.
Rose — a freshman —
earned first team honors
as an infielder, while VanMatre — a sophomore —
came away with second
team honors as a catcher.
Both are first-time recipients of all-state accolades
in softball.
Rose — the regular
starting shortstop —
collected 62 hits in 102
at-bats for a .608 average.
Rose stole 22 bases and
accumulated 18 doubles,
three triples and two
homers while driving in
31 RBIs and scoring 57
runs.
VanMatre collected
44 hits in 106 at-bats for
a .415 average, which
included 10 doubles and
three homers. VanMatre
led WHS in home runs
and was second in runs
batted in with 37.
The Lady Falcons
finished the year with
a 23-10 overall mark
and came away with
the program’s first-ever
outright softball title in
the Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division, going
14-2 in league play. WHS
also shared TVC Hocking
titles in 2012 and 2013.
Wheeling Central
junior Marissa Garlitz —
a pitcher — was named
the first team captain,
while Notre Dame sophomore Kira Riffle — a
utility selection — was
chosen as the second
team captain.
Wahama was the only
Mason County program
to land a player on the
Class A squad as Hannan
did not receive a selection.

Greens and fairways
were reseeded and resodded late last summer,
allowing time for growth
before the winter, which
turned out to be mild.
Many greens got new
contours, including the
signature par-3 18th
green, meaning that golfers have to forget any
recollections of their
speed and slope.
“Everybody starts on
Monday with a level
playing field,” Baine
said.
Phil Mickelson, who
along with Watson is
scheduled to play in
the Greenbrier Classic,
said at a news conference Monday that the
PGA Tour needs to get
the word out about the
tournament’s return so
that players and golf fans
along the East Coast can
“reinvigorate this community.”
“To see the job that
has been done on Old
White is just spectacular,” Mickelson said. “To
have that course back
and ready in a year is
just remarkable.”

Preds beat Penguins to even Stanley Cup Final
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
(AP) — Frederick Gaudreau sure is doing his best
to earn his own locker
with the Nashville Predators with a Stanley Cup
Final debut for the ages.
For now, he insists he is
happy enough just to sit
on the floor as long as he
plays.
An undrafted free agent
playing in just his sixth
postseason game, Gaudreau scored the go-ahead
goal 3:45 into the second
period and Pekka Rinne
made 23 often-spectacular
saves as the Predators
beat the Penguins 4-1 on
Monday night to even the
series at 2-2.
It’s now a best-of-three
sprint to the Stanley Cup,
and Nashville is riding a
wave of momentum after
outscoring the defend-
ing champions 9-2 in the
Games 3 and 4 of their
Final debut.
Game 5 is Thursday
night in Pittsburgh.
Gaudreau, a 24-year-old
rookie, only has a chair in
the locker room, but he
now is the second player in
NHL history to score his
first three career goals in a
Stanley Cup Final, joining
Johnny Harms with the
1944 Blackhawks.
“He’s been unbelievable
for us the way he’s come
in, and he’s just been so
good, timely goals and
composed,” Nashville captain Mike Fisher said. “He
definitely belongs, and he’s
been a huge part of our
success.”
Gaudreau is also just the
third rookie to score gamewinning goals in consecutive games in the Stanley

took over sole possession
of the trophy in 1926-27.
Pittsburgh’s Jake Guentzel did it in the first two
games of this series and
Roy Conacher did it for
Boston in Games 3, 4 and
5 against Toronto in 1939.
Calle Jarnkrok, Viktor Arvidsson and Filip
Forsberg also scored for
Nashville, which improved
to 9-1 at home and roared
back after dropping the
first two games of the
series on the road.
“We were in a tough
hole against a really good
team, came home and took
care of the home games
with the help of all our
great fans,” Rinne said.
“It’s a great feeling. We
played two really good
games.”
Pittsburgh star Sidney
Crosby scored his first
goal in the series after not
getting a shot on goal in
Game 3. The goal was his
first in the Stanley Cup
Final since June 4, 2009,

it wasn’t enough as the
Penguins lost two straight
for the second time this
postseason. Goalie Matt
Murray lost consecutive
games for the first time in
his young career.
“It’s hard to win when
you score one goal,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan
said. “I thought tonight of
all nights, we generated
the most chances of the
highest quality.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Larson lost a
race he probably should have won because of a late
caution.
Larson didn’t pout Sunday about the outcome at
Dover International Speedway. He had a win in sight,
a caution bunched the field and Jimmie Johnson beat
Larson on the restart.
As disappointing as it was to Larson, he was professional in defeat.
“Jimmie is the best of our time, probably the best
of all time,” Larson said. “He just has obviously a lot
more experience than I do out on the front row late in
races, and executed a lot better than I did. I’ve got to
get better at that and maybe get some more wins.”
For those keeping score at home, Johnson won at
Dover for the 11th time and his 86th career victory
tied him with Hall of Famer Cale Yarborough on NASCAR’s all-time win list. Larson is in the midst of a
breakout season, but has just two Cup career wins.
The entire post-race scene was a stark contrast to
just one week ago, when a cranky Kyle Busch faced
defeat at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He thought
he had the Coca-Cola 600 won, only to learn Austin
Dillon had stretched his fuel mileage to the victory.
It was Dillon’s first career Cup victory, and denied
Busch his first victory in a Cup car in a points race at
Charlotte. He’d won a week earlier in the $1 million
All-Star race for his first Cup win at Charlotte in a
race that doesn’t allow him to check Charlotte off his
Cup resume.
So as Busch met his required post-race media obligation, the exchange went like this:
Question: “Were you surprised that Austin could
stretch it on fuel? What does it mean for Austin to get
his first win?”
Busch: “I’m not surprised about anything. Congratulations.”
Moderator: “Kyle, thanks for your time.”
Busch dropped the microphone and walked out of
the room.
Fans blasted him for behind boorish. Dale Earnhardt Jr. publicly encouraged Busch to never change.
Brad Keselowski, who does not get along with Busch,
waxed poetic about sportsmanship and class.
The entire thing is overblown.
Busch was not unprofessional during his visit to
the media center. He simply lacked graciousness in
defeat. He was asked a question, he answered it curtly
and summed up his frustration over a winless season
with Joe Gibbs Racing and an inability to knock Charlotte off his wish list. No one asked Busch a single
follow-up question, either; he was excused after his
mic drop because no one dared poke the bear.
There were many times in Tony Stewart’s career
where he was angrily took things out on reporters
or even fans. “Smoke’s in a bad mood,” the thinking
went, and everyone turned a blind eye.
Why the difference in reaction between Stewart and
Busch? Probably because Stewart has a charming side
that he uses to disarm his critics. He would eventually
come around (sometimes it took a while) and have an
entire room laughing at his wicked humor and selfdeprecating wit.
Busch is not Stewart. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad
person.
It takes all kinds to make NASCAR go round.
Sports, at its heart, is entertainment. Johnson wasn’t
popular during his record run of titles because fans
found him too boring. Busch and, to a larger degree,
his brother, Kurt, are often criticized because they are
far more like Greg Popovich than, say, Steve Kerr.
Look, Kevin Harvick has never taken losing well.
Chase Elliott, Erik Jones, Ryan Blaney and many of
the newcomers have shown signs of prickliness following defeat. Larson, Johnson, Keselowski are part
of a group that can still be candid and polite even
when disappointed.
After a crush of media followed Fernando Alonso’s
every move around the Indianapolis 500 for nearly
a month, and he’d done countless promotional obligations with a smile, his engine failed with 20 laps
remaining in the biggest race in the world. The twotime Formula One champion finished 24th.
Rather than whine about it, Alonso made his way
through a crazed fan zone, went upstairs to the media
center and answered every single question posed.

Thad Matta out as Ohio State coach
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Thad Matta
is out as Ohio State’s
basketball coach, with
the Buckeyes having
missed the last two
NCAA Tournaments
amid an exodus of players.
Matta, who has
coached the team for 13
seasons, also cited his
health at a news conference Monday. He has
been troubled for years
by chronic back problems that sometimes
prevented him from
taking off his shoes
after a game.
“This has probably
been the greatest 13
years of my life,” said
Matta, his voice breaking as he quoted lyrics
from the Grateful Dead.
“Sometimes the light’s
all shinin’ on me, other
times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me
what a long, strange
trip it’s been.”
The 49-year-old coach
said he and athletic
director Gene Smith
agreed he would leave.
“I think it’s the right
thing for our program
at the right time,”
Smith said.
Matta had three years
remaining on a contract
extension he signed
in 2012. Smith said a
national search for his
replacement will begin
immediately, and Matta
will participate in the
search.
Matta coached the
Buckeyes from 2005 to
2017 and took them to
two Final Fours. Ohio
State finished 17-15 this
year, the worst season
in Matta’s 17 years as a
head coach. In the Big
Ten Tournament, Ohio
State lost in the first
round to Rutgers, the
lowest-seeded team.
During the tournament, Smith said
Matta’s job was secure.
But on Friday they met
and agreed to a change
of course.
“We weren’t winning
the battles in recruiting
that I thought we might
have a chance to win,
as he did,” Smith said.
“We started talking
about that on Friday
(and) the flow of the
conversation took me to
the reality.”
Matta said his
chronic pain wore on
him through the years
and his focus now is on
getting healthy. As for
coaching again, he said:
“Never say never.”
He said his back problems from a botched
surgery 10 years ago
didn’t affect his ability
to coach. But he said he
thought he would still
be Ohio State’s coach if
not for this health issue.
Matta’s teams won
at least 20 games in 12
consecutive seasons,
making him the school’s
career leader in wins
and games. He won five
regular-season Big Ten
titles and four league
tournaments, the most
championships of any
league coach over the
last 13 seasons.
But the Buckeyes hit
a rough patch the past
two seasons. After finishing 21-14 and losing
in the second round
of the NIT in 2015-16,
four out of five members of his 2015 recruiting class transferred.
The Buckeyes limped to
the end of this season,
and then star guard
JaQuan Lyle left the
team without public
explanation.
“The last thing I hope
I’m remembered for is
that we always did it
the right way,” Matta
said. “And that to me
is something I’m going
to hang my hat on, that
this program was run
the right way.”
3 MSU players charged in sexual assault case
EAST LANSING,
Mich. (AP) — Three
Michigan State football
players were charged
Tuesday with criminal
sexual conduct in connection with an incident
that occurred on campus
in January.
Arrest warrants
signed by an Ingham
County judge name Donnie Corley Jr., Demetric
Vance and Josh King. It
was not clear when they
would be arraigned.
Corley and Vance face
third-degree criminal
sexual conduct charges.
King is charged with
first- and third-degree
criminal sexual conduct
and distributing an
image of an unclothed
person.
Coach Mark Dantonio
dismissed all three players from the football
program moments after
the charges were made
public.
“Sexual assault has no
place in our community,
and I want to share my
deep concern for the
young woman affected
and her family,” Dantonio said in a statement.
“This is an extremely
challenging situation
that we have taken
very seriously and has
affected everyone in this
program.”
Michigan State scheduled an afternoon news
conference with Dantonio and athletic director
Mark Hollis.
Vance, 20, is a defensive back from Detroit.
Corley, 19, is a receiver
from Detroit. King, also
19, is a defensive end
from Darien, Illinois.
Prosecutor Carol
Siemon had earlier said
three people were being
charged in the incident,
but their names were
not disclosed until Tuesday in court when university police Detective
Chad Davis described
the allegations for District Judge Richard D.
Ball in in East Lansing.
Attorney John Shea,
who represents Corley,
released a statement.
“It’s never a good day
when a criminal charge
is filed against you,
but at least Mr. Corley
knows what he is facing
and can get on with the
process of fighting it,”
Shea said. “As appropriately noted by Prosecutor Siemon in her statement, the charge is only
an accusation and Mr.
Corley is presumed to be
innocent. He maintains
that, in fact, he is innocent, and we intend to
demonstrate that in the
coming proceedings.”
Karen Truszkowski,
an attorney for the
accuser, asked for privacy.
“This is not about
football, and it’s not
about this university,”
she said. “It’s about four
people that — this is
dramatic and difficult
for all of them. So that’s
what I want people to
keep in mind.”
Michigan State
announced Feb. 9 that
three players were
suspended as part of a
sexual assault investigation, but the school had
not identified who they
were until Tuesday. The
lingering investigation
— as well as a separate
criminal sexual conduct
charge in April against
Michigan State football
player Auston Robertson — have loomed
over the athletic department. Robertson was
dismissed from the team
following the charge
against him.
The problems in the
football program come
at a time when the
school is also dealing
with the fallout from
allegations of sexual
assault against Larry
Nassar , a former MSU
doctor who also worked
for USA Gymnastics.
On Monday, Michigan
State released a report
from an external law
firm that investigated
the football program’s
handling of the sexual
assault allegations
against its players. The
investigation found no
evidence that Dantonio
violated the school’s
policy on relationship
violence and sexual misconduct. The report said
Dantonio “took prompt
and decisive action”
with respect to the January incident that has led
to the criminal charges
against Corley, King and
Vance.
The allegations at
Michigan State have
come after football
programs at Baylor and
Minnesota have been
rocked by sexual assault
allegations.
“Look how many
arrests we have had for
sexual assaults with
football players,” Truszkowski said. “There’s
a whole lot more out
there. Is there a problem? You do the math, I
guess.”
Round trip: Mike Brown returns to Cleveland
CLEVELAND (AP)
— Mike Brown happily
slid into his normal seat
to coach Steve Kerr’s left
for Game 2 of the NBA
Finals.
For the first time in
weeks the Warriors were
whole again.
Brown has moved
before — not always so
willingly — and over the
next few days he’ll return
to a familiar place.
Golden State’s wellliked top assistant, whose
first two stints as a head
coach were to nurture a
young LeBron James and
then pamper Kobe Bryant, is heading to Cleveland, the city that shaped
him more than any other.
It’s where he was hired
twice and fired twice by
the Cavaliers, who are
paying him until 2020.
It’s where he raised his
two sons.
It’s where he rooted
himself in the community
and stayed after losing
his job in 2014.
And it’s where he still
has a home and keeps
one of his Harleys, which
he took for cruises along
Lake Erie to clear his
mind.
“He loves those Harleys,” said Warriors for-
ward Draymond Green.
“That just means he has
‘em in every city he goes
to. That’s an addiction.”
When Game 3 tips off
Wednesday night with
the Warriors holding a
2-0 lead that feels insurmountable, Brown will be
back in a building where
he and James appeared in
their first Finals together
10 years ago.
In 2007, the Cavs were
no match for the powerful
San Antonio Spurs, who
overwhelmed Cleveland
and swept the series.
Brown can surely
appreciate the irony in
coming back as part of a
juggernaut.
“Circle of life,” Brown
said last week. “Like the
‘Lion King,’ everything
comes back around, I
guess.”
Brown’s Finals debut
must seem like a lifetime
ago for the 47-year-old,
who guided the Warriors
to an 11-0 mark in this
postseason while Kerr
battled intense pain stemming from back surgeries.
“My guy did OK while
I was gone,” Kerr said
before the Warriors won
Sunday night.
During last year’s
Finals in Cleveland,
Brown met with Kerr
about joining the Warriors staff and replacing
Luke Walton, who was
bound for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The interview came
before the Cavs rallied
from a 3-1 deficit, and
before Kevin Durant
announced he was headed to the Bay Area.
After he was fired for
the second time by the
Cavs, Brown had stepped
outside the coaching
circle, choosing instead
to watch oldest son Elijah
play hoops at New Mexico and filming his other
son Cameron’s Friday
night high school football
games.
All the while, he stayed
connected by talking with
San Antonio coach Gregg
Popovich, his mentor and
former boss.
Popovich urged him to
join Kerr.
Brown’s willingness to
accept an assistant’s job
despite 563 career regular-season wins and 47 in
the playoffs underscores
his humility.
But that’s Brown: unassuming, ego-less, the consummate teammate.
And while he hasn’t
strayed from preparation and the attention he
learned growing up in a
military family, Brown
has shown a willingness
to change.
He has loosened up.
With the Warriors, he
had no choice.
Borrowing philosophies from other coaches,
Kerr has created a loose
atmosphere, believing a
less-structured environment allows players to
perform more freely and
effectively.
Kickball games are not
uncommon and yoga is
practiced regularly. Warriors practices typically
begin with loud music
booming through loudspeakers.
It can be jarring to outsiders.
“I remember the first
few practices, me and
Mike, we were new guys
and we were looking at
each other like: ‘This is
how it goes down here?’”
Durant said. “So it was
an adjustment for both of
us. It was great for me to
have Mike to kind of like
go through the season
with me, and kind of help
me out and help me get
adjusted. It was different
for both of us.”
