Tuesday, July 18, 2017 3 OJ Simpson faces good chance at parole in Nevada robbery By Ken Ritter Associated Press LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson, the former football star, TV pitchman and now Nevada prison inmate No. 1027820, will have a lot going for him when he asks state parole board members this week to release him after serving more than eight years for an ill-fated bid to retrieve sports memorabilia. Now 70, Simpson will have history in his favor and a clean record behind bars as he approaches the nine-year minimum of his 33-year sentence for armed robbery and assault with a weapon. Plus, the parole board sided with him once before. No one at his Thursday hearing is expected to oppose releasing him in October — not his victim, not even the former prosecutor who persuaded a jury in Las Vegas to convict Simpson in 2008. “Assuming that he’s behaved himself in prison, I don’t think it will be out of line for him to get parole,” said David Roger, the retired Clark County district attorney. Four other men who went with Simpson to a hotel room to retrieve from two memorabilia dealers sports collectibles and personal items that the former football star said belonged to him took plea deals in the heist and received probation. Two of those men testiﬁed that they carried guns. Another who stood trial with Simpson was convicted and served 27 months before the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that Simpson’s fame tainted the jury. Simpson’s conviction was upheld. Prison life was a stunning fall for a charismatic celebrity whose storybook career as an electrifying running back dubbed “The Juice” won him the Heisman Trophy as the best college player in 1968 and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. He became a sports commentator, Hollywood movie actor, car rental company spokesman and one of the world’s most famous people even before his Los Angeles “trial of the century,” when he was acquitted in the killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

TODAY Tuesday, July 18, 2017 5 �Sports Daily Sentinel $?/=.+CM��?6C��M� ��s� Muguruza beats ‘role model’ Williams for 1st Wimbledon title Tim Ireland | AP Venus Williams of the United States, left, leaves with her runner-up trophy from Centre Court after her defeat by Spain’s Garbine Muguruza, right, in the women’s singles final on day 12 at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London Saturday. LONDON (AP) — As a kid, Garbine Muguruza sat in awe in front of the TV as the Williams sisters accumulated Grand Slam titles. They were her role models. Now Muguruza is all grown up, an emerging tennis star in her own right — and, as of Saturday, the only woman who can boast of beating each Williams in a major ﬁnal. Muguruza powered her way to her ﬁrst Wimbledon championship by playing fearlessly and dominating down the stretch, putting together a 7-5, 6-0 victory over a fading Venus Williams by claiming the ﬁnal’s last nine games. “It’s great to go out there and play somebody that you admire,” Muguruza said. “I knew she was going to make me suffer and ﬁght for it.” This was Williams’ 16th Grand Slam ﬁnal and ninth at the All England Club. At 37, she was bidding for her sixth title at the grass-court major, 17 years after her ﬁrst. And she was so close to gaining the upper hand against Muguruza, holding two set points at 5-4 in the opener. But Muguruza fought those off and never looked back. “She competed really well. So credit to her,” Williams said. “She just dug in there.” For Muguruza, this ﬁnal was her third at a major. In her ﬁrst, at Wimbledon in 2015, she lost to Williams’ younger sister, Serena. But in her second, at the French Open last year, Muguruza again faced Serena — and won. That was the most recent ﬁnal Muguruza had played in at any tourna- ment until Saturday, an indication of the sort of up-and-down 12 months she’s had. But with stand-in coach Conchita Martinez pushing her to play each point on its own merits — don’t look back, don’t think ahead — Muguruza was able to regain her best form these two weeks. Taking the ball early, being aggressive from the start of each point and not relenting, Muguruza did to Williams what the American and her sibling often do to their opponents. Here was how Muguruza’s on-court approach was described by Spanish Fed Cup and Davis Cup captain Martinez, whose 1994 Wimbledon title was the country’s most recent for a woman until Saturday: “She’s very brave.” See TITLE | 7 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Meigs football golf scramble MASON, W.Va. — The Meigs Marauder football team will host a golf scramble on Saturday, July 22, at Riverside Golf Course.

See BRIEFS | 7 Daniel Leal-Olivas | pool photo via AP Switzerland’s Roger Federer celebrates with the trophy after beating Croatia’s Marin Cilic in the men’s singles final match on day 13 at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London Sunday. Federer wins 8th Wimbledon title LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer’s wait for No. 8 at Wimbledon is over. He is once again the champion of the grasscourt Grand Slam tournament, now more often than any other man in the history of an event ﬁrst held in 1877. Federer won his eighth title at the All England Club and 19th major trophy overall, capping a marvelous fortnight in which he never dropped a set by overwhelming Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 on Sunday in a lopsided ﬁnal that was more coronation than contest. When it ended, with an ace from Federer after merely 1 hour, 41 minutes, he raised both arms overhead. A minute or so later, he was sitting on the sideline, wiping tears from his eyes. “I always believed that I could maybe come back and do it again. And if you believe, you can go really, really far in your life, and I did that,” Federer said. “And I’m happy I kept on believing and dreaming and here I am today for the eighth. It’s fantastic.” He turns 36 on Aug. 8, making him the oldest man to win Wimbledon in the Open era, and is a father of four. Both of his sets of twins — boys, 3, in their light blue blazers; girls, 7, in their dresses — were in the guest box for the trophy ceremony. One son stuck a couple of ﬁngers in his mouth; a daughter grabbed her brother’s hand. “They have no clue what’s on. They think it’s probably a nice view and a nice playground. But it’s not quite like that here, so one day hopefully they’ll understand,” Federer said about his boys. As for the girls, he said: “They enjoy to watch a little bit. They come for the ﬁnals, I guess.” When Dad is Roger Federer, you can wait until the last Sunday to show up. Truly, this outcome was only in doubt for about 20 minutes, the amount of time it took Federer to grab his ﬁrst lead. Cilic, whose left foot was treated by a trainer in the late going, was never able to summon the intimidating serves or crisp volleys that carried him to his lone Grand Slam title at the 2014 U.S. Open, where he surprisingly beat Federer in straight sets in the semiﬁnals. This one was all Federer, who last won Wimbledon in 2012. That seventh championship pulled Federer even with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw in what’s still ofﬁcially called Gentlemen’s Singles. Sampras won all but one of his in the 1990s; Renshaw won each of his in the 1880s, back in the days when the previous year’s champion advanced automatically to the ﬁnal and therefore was able to successfully defend a title with one victory. Federer had come close to bettering his predecessors but couldn’t quite do it. He lost in the 2014 and 2015 Wimbledon ﬁnals to Novak Djokovic — “Tough ones,” Federer called them Sunday — and in the semiﬁnals last year after erasing match points to get past Cilic in a ﬁve-set quarterﬁnal. With clouds overhead and a bit of chill in the air, Federer’s early play, in general, was symptomatic of jitters. For everything he’s accomplished, for all of the bright lights and big settings to which he’s become accustomed, the guy many have labeled the “GOAT” — Greatest of All Time — admits to feeling heavy legs and jumbled thoughts at important on-court moments to this day. And so it was that Federer, not Cilic, hit a double-fault in each of his ﬁrst two service games. And it was Federer, not Cilic, who faced the match’s initial break point, 15 minutes in, trailing 2-1 and 30-40. But Cilic netted a return there, beginning a run of 17 points in a row won by Federer on his serve. He would never be confronted with another break point. “I gave it my best,” Cilic said. “That’s all I could do.” It was as if the ﬁrst indication of the slightest bit of trouble jolted Federer. In the very next game, Federer broke to lead 3-2. He broke again to take that set when Cilic double-faulted, walked to the changeover and slammed his racket on his sideline chair. Cilic then sat and covered his head with a white towel. After Federer raced to a 3-0 lead in the second set, Cilic cried while he was visited by a doctor and trainer. At that moment, it wasn’t clear, exactly, what might have been ailing Cilic. During a later medical timeout, Cilic’s left foot was retaped by the trainer. Federer would break to a 4-3 edge in the third set and all that remained to ﬁnd out was how he’d ﬁnish. It was with his eighth ace, at 114 mph (184 kph), part of a total of 23 winners. He made only eight unforced errors. This caps a remarkable reboot for Federer, who departed Wimbledon a year ago with a lot of doubts. He had lost in the semiﬁnals, yes, but more troublesome was See FEDERER | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel MLB NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division W L Pct Washington 56 36 .609 Atlanta 45 45 .500 New York 41 48 .461 Miami 41 49 .456 Philadelphia 30 60 .333 Central Division W L Pct Milwaukee 52 42 .553 Chicago 46 45 .505 St. Louis 44 47 .484 Pittsburgh 44 48 .478 Cincinnati 39 53 .424 West Division W L Pct Los Angeles 64 29 .688 Arizona 53 39 .576 Colorado 53 41 .564 San Diego 40 51 .440 San Francisco 35 58 .376 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W L Pct Boston 52 41 .559 Tampa Bay 49 44 .527 New York 47 43 .522 Toronto 42 49 .462 Baltimore 42 49 .462 Central Division W L Pct Cleveland 47 43 .522 Minnesota 46 45 .505 Kansas City 45 45 .500 Detroit 41 49 .456 Chicago 38 52 .422 West Division W L Pct Houston 62 30 .674 Seattle 46 47 .495 Texas 45 46 .495 GB — 10 13½ 14 25 GB — 4½ 6½ 7 12 GB — 10½ 11½ 23 29 GB — 3 3½ 9 9 GB — 1½ 2 6 9 GB — 16½ 16½ Los Angeles 46 49 .484 17½ Oakland 42 50 .457 20 Sunday’s Games N.Y.

(AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing has undergone an unexpected upheaval that forced the organization into a youth movement. The biggest surprise, though, was going 0 for 2017. Denny Hamlin ended that rut with the kind of ﬁnish down the stretch that showed that — yes, the new generation may be on the way — but the JGR lynchpin still knows how to win. Hamlin held off Kyle Larson over the ﬁnal laps Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to send Gibbs to its ﬁrst victory of the season. One of the top organizations in NASCAR, JGR had yet to have any of its four drivers win until Hamlin took the lead with 33 laps left and held off the hard-charging Larson on the ﬁnal lap. Hamlin needed his 30th career Cup victory to secure a berth in NASCAR’s version of the postseason and end a winless streak that stretched to last September at Richmond. “Deﬁnitely needed a win for the organization, for myself,” Hamlin said. He’ll take the checkered ﬂag — just hold the nutcracker. Hamlin, who has a Cup win in each of his 12 seasons, gave everyone a laugh when he scampered away from the lobster traditionally awarded to the winner in victory lane. “I have a lobster phobia,” he said. Larson had a sensational run from the rear of the ﬁeld, where he was forced to start because he failed inspection after he won the pole. Larson lost his points lead last Briefs From page 6 Rio Grande golf open tryouts set RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande will conduct open tryouts for its new men’s and women’s golf programs on Wednesday, July 26 at noon at Cliffside Golf Course in Gallipolis.

Hamlin crashed the No. 11 Toyota in practice and was forced to race in a backup car. It seemed to suit him just ﬁne at New Hampshire. Martin Truex Jr., was third, followed by Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick. JGR won seven of the ﬁrst 12 races last season and Carl Edwards was 10 laps away from a possible championship when he crashed out in the ﬁnale. Daniel Suarez replaced Edwards this season, and Hamlin, Kenseth and Kyle Busch have made strong runs at the checkered ﬂag, they just couldn’t ﬁnd the winning formula until New Hampshire. “It’s not from a lack of trying,” Hamlin said. JGR also announced this week that Erik Jones would replace two-time Daytona 500 champion Kenseth in the No. 20 next season. With Hamlin sending the crowd into a frenzy by burning the tires down, Sunday was simply a reason for the organization to celebrate. Jones and Suarez will soon be expected to carry the load into the next decade once Busch and the 36-year-old Hamlin ﬁnish their careers. “They’re going to be there long after I’m gone,” Hamlin said. “They’ll be the team leaders. You just try and set an example for them. Show the work ethic that it takes to be a winner on a weekly basis. Hopefully, that infectious-type atmosphere bleeds into them and they lead the team after we’re gone.” Reserve seats for the general public will be available on Thursday, Aug. 10.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Rural Development Meigs County – Rutland: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact AGENCY: Rural Development, USDA ACTION: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact. SUMMARY: USDA Rural Development has made a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with respect to a request for possible financing assistance to Meigs County for the construction of improvements to the Village of Rutlandҋs Wastewater Treatment Plant. FURTHER INFORMATION: To obtain copies of the Environmental Assessment (EA) and FONSI, or for further information, contact: Scott Shaneyfelt, State Environmental Coordinator, USDA Rural Development, 200 North High Street, Columbus, Ohio, 43215, (614) 255-2414, scott.shaneyfelt@oh.usda.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed project consists of construction of improvements to the Wastewater Plant in Rutland, Ohio. Alternatives considered by USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT and NWWSD include: The alternatives are discussed in the Meigs County - Rutland EA. The USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT has reviewed and approved the EA for the proposed project. The availability of the EA for public review was announced via notice in the following newspaper(s): The Daily Sentinel on May 04, 05 and 07, 2017. A 14-day comment period was announced in the newspaper notices. The EA was also available for public review at the USDA Rural Development office located at 200 North High Street, Room 507 Columbus, Ohio 43215. No comments were received. Based on its EA, commitments made by Meigs County and lack of public comments received, USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT has concluded that the project would have no significant impact to water quality, wetlands, floodplains, land use, aesthetics, transportation, or human health and safety. The proposed project will have no adverse effect on resources listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Agency has also concluded that the proposed project is not likely to affect federally listed threatened and endangered species or designated critical habitat thereof. The proposed project would not disproportionately affect minority and/or low-income populations. No other potential significant impacts resulting from the proposed project have been identified. Therefore, USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT has determined that this FONSI fulfills its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR §§ 1500-1508), and USDA Rural Development's Environmental Policies and Procedures (7 CFR Part 1970) for its action related to the project. USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT is satisfied that the environmental impacts of the proposed project have been adequately addressed. USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENTҋs federal action would not result in significant impacts to the quality of the human environment, and as such it will not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for its action related to the proposed project.
