during the concert.The Masterworks Chorale is filled with talented musi-
cians, and area residents will enjoy hearing the perfor-mance. “It’s going to be a good concert,” said DirectorClay Price, Ph.D. ‘And not only will area residents enjoyhearing the songs performed during the show, they willalso be able to learn a little more about the songs and theircomposers. I’ll be providing a little bit of backgroundinformation throughout the concert on the significance ofsome of the pieces and how they fit in historically,” Priceexplained
All of the songs contain texts from the King JamesVersion of The Bible, and Price also provided backgroundinformation on the King James Version of The Bible. “In1603 James VI of Scotland acceded to the throne ofEngland (as James I of England). At the 1604 HamptonCourt Conference, James I was persuaded that a newtranslation was needed to replace the perceived problemsof the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans. Bythe first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Versionwas effectively unchallenged as the English translationused in Anglican and other Protestant churches. Over thecourse of the 18th century, the Authorized Version sup-planted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scrip-ture for English speaking scholars,” Price said.
“British sailors took the Bible on voyages around theglobe; through the work of the East India Company it wastaken to India and to the colonies in Africa, Australia andNew Zealand. This is one reason why English is now aworld language. The Bible is read in countries around theworld; art, literature and music have been based on lan-guage and stories from the Bible. The Authorized Versionhas been called ‘the most influential version of the mostinfluential book in the world, in what is now its most influ-ential language‘, ‘the most important book in English reli-gion and culture‘, and ‘the most celebrated book in theEnglish-speaking world‘. It has contributed 257 idioms toEnglish, more than any other single source, includingShakespeare.”
The songs in the concert include a range of styles, andsome are pieces that have been sung in churches for genera-tions. The concert is one that all area residents of all ages willenjoy, and all area residents are encouraged to attend.

WVU could make$1.2M on footballgame beer sales
BY VICKI SMITHASSOCIATED PRESS
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Beer sales atMountaineer football games could generate $500,000to $1.2 million a season depending on the weather,attendance and team performance, but West VirginiaUniversity athletic director Oliver Luck said Thursdaythat money isn’t his main reason for proposing toallow it.
Rather, he said his goal is to gain control over thedrinking that already goes on at Mountaineer Fieldand create a more civil atmosphere that encouragespeople to bring their children and grandchildren sothat the tradition lives on in future generations.
“We cannot afford to not have those kids attend ourgames,” Luck said.
The WVU Board of Governors has posted the pro-posed revisions to its policy online and is taking pub-lic comment about the plan to let longtime stadiumconcessionaire Sodexo sell beer. School spokesmanJohn Bolt said 140 people had weighed in as ofThursday afternoon, but their comments haven’t beenanalyzed yet.
Even if the board rejects beer sales, Luck said he’lllikely end the long-standing policy of letting fansleave and re-enter the stadium during daytime games.Few college stadiums around the country — and nonein the Big East — allow re-entry, he said.
For decades, fans have been using WVU’s so-called“pass-out” policy to engage in binge drinking, thenreturn to the stadium drunk and rowdy. When Luckread through piles of old complaint letters last fall, hefound most were related to smoking and decliningcivility in the stands.
Luck, who’s also considering moving the designat-ed smoking areas outside the crowded concourse, saidhe’s now trying to find a balance between creating afamily friendly environment and encouraging a loud,enthusiastic crowd that gives the team a home-fieldadvantage.
“You want it to be a friendly, upbeat and civilcrowd,” he said, but also a crowd with children.
“We’re not growing organically, population-wise,so we can’t afford to lose a boatload of kids who allof a sudden turn 25 and they’ve never been to aMountaineer game because they’re not students here,”he said. “If you get to 25, 26 and you haven’t had asteady diet of Mountaineer football, you may be ableto live without it. And we want to keep this placefilled up as best we can.”
Beer has never been sold for general consumptionat Mountaineer Field, although it’s been served in theprivate, individually leased suites at the stadium since1994.
Luck said many college stadiums, including all ofWVU’s Big East counterparts, already sell beer insome capacity. Louisville even sells hard liquor in anod to Kentucky’s bourbon-making heritage, butLuck said he would not propose liquor sales at WVU.
Luck said he’s also considering creating familyfriendly sections in the stadium like Louisville, achange that could be in place the start of the season.
Sodexo has handled WVU’s concessions for at leastseven years, and Luck said there’s nothing in the con-tract that would prevent adding beer sales. Sodexowould be responsible for training employees andensuring that consumers are at least 21.
Sodexo did not immediately return messagesThursday, but Luck said the company would not havehawkers in the stands, and it would not set up salesnear the student seating sections.
Many other details, including which beer makerwould get pouring rights, limits on individual pur-chases and the mechanics of verifying IDs, have yet tobe worked out. As the vendor and license holder, how-ever, Sodexo would bear the legal liability and has theright to refuse service to anyone.
Sodexo already sells beer in other college stadiums,including the Universities of Connecticut andPittsburgh, and operates a designated driver program.Fans who sign up as the sober person in their party arerewarded with a free hot dog or soda, or some othersmall incentive.
The price for a 16-ounce beer isn’t set, but Lucksaid most athletic venues around the country sell themfor $7 or $8, so he would consider anything in the $6-9 range “very reasonable.” The higher prices, henoted, would also be a limiting factor on consump-tion.
Luck said he’s not proposing beer sales be allowedat the Coliseum, WVU’s basketball venue, becausethere is neither the history of bad behavior there nor asimilar dynamic like tailgating.
“Going to almost any college game has become anall-day event for people,” he said, so access to alcoholis more important to football fans.
Majority of GOP freshmenvote for spending bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most of the 87 HouseRepublican freshmen who came to Washingtonpromising not to give ground to the establishmentswallowed hard Thursday and voted for the compro-mise worked out by Speaker John Boehner andPresident Barack Obama on keeping the governmentrunning for the next six months.
“I’m going to take it, saddle up again tomorrow andget more,” said Rep. Rob Woodall of Georgia. Whilethe $38 billion in cuts in the current budget year maybe inadequate, “nothing is worthwhile until the presi-dent signs it into law,” he said.
The freshmen have been in the forefront in demand-ing that the Democratic-led Senate go along with aHouse bill requiring deeper cuts of $61 billion for thebudget year ending Sept. 30.
The legislation, the result of an eleventh-hour com-promise last Friday that averted a government shut-down, passed 260-167, with 59 Republicans and 108Democrats voting against it. Among the GOP fresh-men, many elected on a platform to dramaticallydownsize the federal government, 60 were for themeasure and 27 against.
“Sometimes we need to wring the mop out a fewtimes to clean up the mess,” said Rep. Jeff Landry,explaining his “yes” vote despite the bill’s smallerspending cuts than many freshmen had hoped for. Hesaid there were other factors in his “yes” vote, such asthe inclusion of a provision barring the District ofColumbia from using either federal or locally raisedtaxes for abortions and the certainty that military per-sonnel would not see their pay interrupted..
Also important, he said, was that the agreementreached with the White House allowed for separatevotes on stripping funds from Planned Parenthoodand the 2010 health care law, even though the Senateis certain to overturn the House votes.
On the whole, most freshmen appeared to agreewith Rep. Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania: “There aremany members with many ideas on how to get thisdone,” he said. But at least, “we are moving the balldown the road.”

BY REV. RICHARD SARGENT
This coming Sunday, we cele-brate the triumphal entry of Jesusinto Jerusalem, the beginning ofwhat Christians call His Passion,or Holy Week.
When I was a boy, I rememberwe children would sing songs onPalm Sunday like, “Hosanna, loudhosanna, the little children sang.Through pillared court and templethe lovely anthem rang...” I’m notsure I understood what ‘hosanna’meant, and I am certain I didn’tknow what a ‘pillared court’ was.And an anthem? That one wouldhave stumped me as well. But lit-tle children singing — that I couldunderstand, and so I sang.
When I was a bit older, I learnedthat in some churches, the childrenwe given palm branches to waveas they entered into the churchduring the singing of songs likethe one we sang. I didn’t quiteunderstand where they got palmbranches in West Virginia — infact, at that point in my life, I hadnever even seen a real palm tree— but waving branches soundedlike fun, especially if I could pokeone or two of the other children,and I wondered why we didn’t getto do that at our church.
But the part of Palm Sunday Ireally couldn’t figure out, was thepart about the stones crying out.You remember the story, don’tyou? Jesus was entering Jerusalemon that fateful day, when thecrowd began shouting, “Hosanna,blessed is He who comes in thename of the Lord.” The Scripturestell us the crowds were placingpalm branches and their cloaks onthe road down which He was com-ing. When the crowds said,“Blessed in the King who comesin the name of the Lord; Peace inheaven and glory in the highest!”,that’s when the religious leaderstold Jesus to rebuke His disciplesfor claiming He was a king com-ing in the Lord’s name. It was inresponse to their demand thatJesus replied, “I tell you, if thesebecome silent, the stones will cryout!” (Luke 19:38-40).
As a boy, I never quite under-stood that. After all, even I knewstones couldn’t talk, let alone cryout! Yet, I have learned a thing ortwo since, and I believe I have dis-covered at least two things thismust mean.
The first and most obvious isthat what Jesus was saying is thatGod will not be left without a wit-ness. If His people will not praiseHim, then He will raise up othersto do it, event if He has to makethe stones themselves cry out tomake it happen! And that chal-lenges me to always be ready topraise God, and share His good-ness with others.
The second thing I recognize isthat God’s creation already speaks
of his glory! The Bible says, “Theheavens are telling of the glory ofGod; And their expanse is declar-ing the work of His hands.”(Psalm 19:1). So, if people won’tpraise God, then creation itselfwill be His symphony of praise.
But there is one final thing aboutstones. Sometimes I do not havean opportunity to share the won-der of God’s love with others.Maybe it is because they, like thereligious leaders who wantedJesus to silence the praises of thepeople, just don’t want to hear it.And sometimes it is because Idon’t have the right words to say.It is at times like this I must let thestones speak.
And when I say that, I am think-ing of the story of Nehemiah 4 ofthe exiles ho returned to Jerusalemand were rebuilding the city’swalls. They were taunted by theirenemies saying, “What are thesefeeble Jews doing? Are they goingto restore it for themselves?...Evenwhat they are building-if a foxshould jump on it, he would breaktheir stone wall down!”(Nehemiah 4:2-3). The Jews wereunable to answer—their enemiesdidn’t really want to hear it. Butwhat they were able to do wascontinue building, and let therebuilt stones speak for them! Asthe wall was rebuilt, the stonesgave testimony to the fact Godwas with them and blessing theirefforts.
And so it is with me. I cannotalways answer — sometimesbecause people don’t want to hearit, and sometimes because I cannotthink of the right thing to say. ButI can always be living in such away that the stonework of my lifespeaks about my commitment toand love for God.
And so I have learned a bitabout stones crying out. Always Ineed to be ready to give Godpraise, and let my praise be gen-uine and heart-felt. And when Icannot find the right words, I needto be letting the light shine in sucha way that people see my goodworks, and give glory to God.(Matt 5:14)
This Easter season, I encourageyou to do the same. Attend thechurch of your choice this HolyWeek, and allow God’s praise tofill your heart and voice. Andalways live in such a way that Godis glorified in you! God bless yourichly!
(Rev. Richard Sargent is thePastor at Main Street BaptistChurch, and a member of theMason County MinisterialAssociation.)

Word of God is yoursuccess handbook
Thousands of dollarsare made from thousandsof books and articles onsuccess around theworld. This is one of themost read and soughtafter topics on the planet.Writers and speakers areconstantly sought after toimplement tips on suc-cess from their experi-ences.
People crave for suc-cess. People want suc-cess.
Americans want suc-cess in their private lives,in their minds, in theirhomes, in the marriages,in the families, and intheir businesses. Successis what most people livefor. But success is morethan just the applicationor the modeling of some-body else’s success.Success is more than dol-lars and cents.
Think of it this way;Encyclopedias impartknowledge of people,places and events.Dictionaries provideknowledge and defini-tions of words.Periodicals provide arti-cles about many differentsubjects. But nothing is asimportant as the Wisdomof God for communicat-ing Laws of Success foryour life. Success comesout of a successful mind-heart combination. Inother words, success isfirst in the heart before itcan become true successthrough the hand. Truesuccess is that whichstands the tests and trialsof life when all else failsaround it. Call me biasedor whatever you want, butI am convinced andbelieve that only onebook exists that canimpart this kind of suc-cess.
There is no other bookon earth like the Bible.Millions of books havebeen written about everysubject under the sun.There are many goodbooks that deal with allareas of life from how toraise a child to how toobtain the AmericanDream. But there is noother book that dealswith these subjects andevery other subject underthe sun as well and aswise as the Bible does.
The Word of God is thewisdom of God. Itimparts wisdom to allareas of life. One thing isto know about any partic-ular situation, but it is
another thing altogetherhow to apply that whichwe know. Knowledge isone thing, but appliedknowledge is yet another.
In fact, the Word ofGod is so powerful that itis the only book on earththat implies and is 100percent truth. Amazing!This Word is the onlyWord that you can standon knowing that it will befulfill. In other words, itwill do what it says it willdo. When everything elsefails and when so manypeople’s lives are fallingapart, yet the Word ofGod continues to providethe expertise, the nutsand bolts of true relation-ships, true business deal-ings, and life with char-acter.
The Word of God is sopowerful that it is theonly book that has had somuch opposition and per-secution from thosewhose knowledge andpersonal opinions of lifehave been challenged.
The Word of God giveslife to a dying situation, itbrings comfort to theweary, it provides peacein the midst of a storm, itbrings relieve to pain,and joy to a depressedheart. It also provideshope to a hopeless man,and success to every areaof life. The Word of Godis a book of success. Ifyou want success in yourmarriage, life, financesand so forth, look for it inthe Word of God.
The Word of God is thebest handbook for yoursuccess. Read it, Studyit, Believe it, Live by itand Apply its principles— this will bring youtrue success. It’s God’spromise. Look at Joshua1 and Mark 11 and John15.
Make it a GreatSuccessful Day!

On spiritual warfareLast week I asked if
you believed in miracles;it seems many of you do.Cool!
This week’s topic hasto do with “spiritual war-fare.” Ever heard of it?Experienced it? If you’reone of the uninitiated,bear with me: this isn’t ascary topic; but it is quiterelevant.
Just as miracles are thestuff of God, spiritualwarfare is the domainand work of Satan — thenot-so-public Enemy ofGod’s people. True:another name for the EvilOne is “the devil.”
Miracles are real, andso is the Almighty — butonly to those attuned toGod’s Spirit. Sad to say,many are not so attunedor prudent in their priori-ties.
This lack of sensitivityto the Holy Spirit, alongwith His assumed pres-ence in the church — Isay again: assumed, butnot specifically invited— is precisely whatinhibits and even pre-cludes meaningfulchurch growth on the onehand, and enables Satanto do his evil work in thelives of people in thechurch on the other.Absent the Holy Spirit,expect spiritual warfare.
Let’s suppose there arethings which separate“the men from the boys.”Now, then — it is bothnaïveté and, worse, thepatronization of God’sHoly Spirit which sepa-rates immature and stag-nant Christians fromthose who are mature andseriously committed to
the Lord.None other than the
Holy Spirit provides uswith the power to surren-der our lives to Jesus, andthen to live our liveseffectively in His service.With Christ there’s life inour respective churches.Conversely, without theSpirit’s presence andpower a church may bephysically functioningbut, spiritually, it’s dead!
Jesus, never one tomince his words, referredto the antagonistic andun-Godly Pharisees inlike manner — i.e., as“white-washed sepul-chers” (Matt. 23:27.)Many churches sufferfrom this malady,because they’ve allowedsomething, or someone,to preempt God’s Spirit.
Come Sunday, thechurch of Jesus Christbecomes, for many,another Burger King-likeestablishment where, aswe all know, you canhave it “your way.” Bythe way: when youdescribe the church youattend as “your church”... is it, really? Or, is ittruly God’s Church?
Those in the pews whoexpect the pastor to tickletheir ears and cater totheir whims and wishesmost assuredly are notsurrendered to Jesus. Insuch an environment youcan be certain the Lord isnot in charge and thatthat church is “conflict-ed.”
By the way: the will ofGod is not need, norspeed, or greed; the willof God is peace. I sus-pect the reason God’speace so often eludes ourcomprehension isbecause we’re too busyinsisting on havingthings “our way” — asopposed to submitting toGod, that His will bedone.
If in any church yousense the presence of oneor more prima donnas, ofsome pooh-bah whoseposturing suggests youneed to kow-tow to them,there the Enemy has beenactive and successful intaunting and tempting thepeople to expect anddemand their will bedone.
But of course this isnothing new “under thesun;” far from it. Jesuscontended with thePharisees, who imaginedthey were peerless inrighteousness and theirknowledge of Scripture.Leave it to a certain car-penter’s son to openlyconfront them, and chal-lenge their bona fides.
Ananias and Sapphiraconspired to cheat thechurch of the full profitsfrom the sale of a certainpiece of property, thenpaid with their lives for
their deception (cf. Acts5:1-11).
The point being two-fold: first, in the heat oftemptation don’t loseyour cool; and second, ifwe’re going to claim thename of Christ, itbehooves us to act in away consistent with Hislife and precepts. Aye,now: there’s the rub;we’re not Jesus.
For a fact, our Lordwas totally reliant uponGod’s Spirit. Why, then,does the mere mention ofthe Spirit so confuse,confound, irritate andantagonize certainChristians today?!?Could it be they havegiven themselves over tothe Enemy, inadvertently— by default?
Perhaps they’ve growncold and old in theirfaith, and have becomestagnant instead of dailybeing challenged, stimu-lated, and inspired anewby Christ’s presence andpower?!? How sad.Greater than anyone isour glorious Savior andLord, Jesus Christ: Herules ... He rocks!!!
Spiritual warfare is nogame; it’s real, it’s seri-ous, and it’s deadly —and Peter has warned usto beware our commonnemesis (1 Peter 5:8-9).He’s out there, alwayslooking for his next vic-tim; don’t let it be you!Only the Lord can with-stand him: live your lifeaccordingly, in peace.

Caution: Gas-pedaldepressing can cause depression
One of the several rea-sons I enjoy umpiringhigh school baseballgames is because of dri-ving to the local fields inmy 1973 Chevy Impala.One of the advantages ofthe car is that it has sucha large and accessibletrunk I can neatly arrangemy gear in it. But, themain thing is that it is apleasure to drive. I par-ticularly enjoy cruising atthe speed limit along theways and listening to theheaders mutter and thepipes putter.
Occasionally, too, thereare opportunities to(safely!) pass other vehi-cles, and, because of thepower that can be gener-ated so quickly by the400 horses under thehood with a quickdepressing of the gaspedal, there is a conse-quential rush that rathermakes me smile.
However, after lastSaturday, a certain expe-rience has stirred in me acertain caution about anyfuture gas-pedal depress-ing for the quick-speedsort.
I had a double-headerscheduled inRavenswood. Instead oftaking the usual course tothe high school, I crossedthe Ohio River andpicked up the very nice-traveling Route 33 Eastjust outside of Pomeroy,Ohio. I had plenty of
time, and was enjoyingthe scenery and sounds at50 mph. Eventually, atruck pulling a horsetrailer traveling at a slowrate of speed came intosight.
The consideration ofpassing this vehicularcombo was justified inmy mind. First, it wasgoing too slow. Second,extended following of ananimal trailer is not goodbecause of their sponta-neous excrements whichsometimes get spewedrearward onto followers.Third — yes — for theaforementioned reason,too.
With the way clear, Ibegan to smile expectant-ly as I dropped the shifterinto second gear. But,when I asserted my rightfoot with a quickdepressing of the gaspedal, I simultaneouslyheard a loud bang andsaw the hood bow slight-ly. I quickly put the trans-mission into neutral and
pulled off to the side ofthe road. There was anoticeable vibration, andI could see a sizeablehole in the hood. Ithought for sure that thesudden acceleration hadcaused a rod to be thrownfrom the engine. Igroaned inwardly withthat thought, and rued theresult of my sensualaction.
By way of comparisonfor most people, life isfull of sensual horsepower. There is that innerdrive to depress the phys-ical and emotional gaspedal at every opportuni-ty for the temporal andtemporary pleasureinnate with it. The onlyproblem is that manysensual pleasures at handto experience run con-trary to the expressedwill of God for our lives.A major considerationoften ignored has to dowith the breaking of theLaw of God.
While many pleasur-able things are right andgood to experience, thereare those which are notjustifiable — for goodreason. The problem isthat sensual pleasuresclearly contrary to theexpressed will of Godoften cause a certaindepression of the souland spirit not worth it.You can lose a bit of yoursoul every time youdepress the pedal of sen-
sual living resulting in nosmall vibration of yourlife and the lives of thosearound you.
The most dynamicaspect of the considera-tion is confronted by theLord, who asked, “Forwhat is a man advan-taged, if he gain thewhole world, and losehimself?”
Christ died on theCross and rose from thedead that we may haveabundant life, not brokenlife gaping and gaspingwith open holes. Thereinlies the depression of itall, for many most cer-tainly experience it inconsequence to life livedwith reckless and inten-tional sensual abandon inthe face of Godly expec-tations. God’s ways forliving is far better.
In the meantime, itbecame apparent whathappened. The assertionof horse power caused asection of the fan tobreak off at the momentof the quick depressingof the gas pedal, sheeredoff part of the shroud,and punctured a holethrough the hood.
I might need to lay offquick depressing of thepedal.

Cavaliers survive season of extremesI N D E P E N D E N C E ,
Ohio (AP) — Emergingfrom his office in sweatsand a T-shirt, Byron Scottscooped up a stray ball anddropped a hook shot beforeheading over to the finalpress conference of hisfirst season coaching inCleveland — an extremeseason.
Asked to describe the82-game, six-monthodyssey of highs and lowsin one word, Scott had aquick answer.
“Interesting,” he said.Turbulent, eventful, dra-
matic and chaotic wouldwork, too, in explainingthe Cavaliers’ 19-63 mish-mash of moments.
Maybe Scott’s fashionchoice on Thursday bestsummed up Cleveland’sfirst-to-almost-worst sea-son. He wore a gray “CSI:Miami” T-shirt, a nod tohis favorite TV show andperhaps a not-so-sublimi-nal message about whathappened to the Cavaliersthis season after YouKnow Who left forFlorida.
It was a crime scene allright, and Scott joked thatduring some of the toughertimes, like when theCavaliers were embar-rassed by LeBron James inhis hyped Ohio homecom-ing or in the midst of anNBA record 26-game los-ing streak, he consideredadding to the carnage.
“I had a moment where Iwanted to kill everybodyon the team,” he said.
He was kidding. Attimes, it wasn’t so funny.
The Cavaliers, who fin-ished a dreadful season
strong, winning four oftheir last six games andgoing 6-6 in their last 12,gathered at their trainingfacility one last time beforeheading into an offseasonof unprecedented uncer-tainty. As they said good-bye, many of Cleveland’splayers wondered if they’dever be teammates again.And all of them consideredthe possibility of a laborshutdown.
“I think there is going tobe a lockout,” forwardAntawn Jamison said. “Ijust don’t see it going intothe season. The mostimportant thing is for bothparties to get to the tableand discuss things out.Until that happens, we justdon’t know which way it’sgoing to go. I feel sorry forthese young guys becausethey have no idea of whatto expect and I hope it’snot as bad as it was in ‘98.
“We might get some-thing done. I think it isgoing to go into the latepart of summer or earlyfall. I just don’t think it’sfair for fans, for ownershipand for players.”
It would be especiallycruel to the Cavaliers.
Because, as epically badas they were for largechunks of their first seasonin eight years withoutJames, there were enoughpositives to make theCavaliers believe betterdays are ahead. This is thefirst time in five yearsguard Daniel Gibson’s sea-son ended in April and notMay or June.
He said watching thepostseason will be painful.
“Being competitors,
that’s why you play thegame, to be a part of theplayoffs and have a chanceto win a championship,”Gibson said. “We’re build-ing this thing the right way.So, it won’t be long beforethat feeling is gone for usin this organization.”
Gibson feels Clevelandwill be back in the playoffsnext season.
“Without a doubt,” hesaid.
As bad as things got, andit can’t get much worsethan 26 straight losses, 36of 37 overall and winning42 fewer games than theprevious year, theCavaliers stayed united.Despite season-endinginjuries to AndersonVarejao and Jamison, a 55-point road loss the LosAngeles Lakers and a ros-ter littered with rookiesand unproven players, theCavaliers never fracturedor unraveled.
Scott kept them together.Baron Davis was reunit-
ed with Scott when hecame over in the Feb. 24trade that sent guard MoWilliams to the Clippers.Davis, who clashed withhis coach when they weretogether in New Orleans,praised Scott for never giv-ing up on his young team.
“He’s patient. He’s moti-vating and he never getsrattled,” said Davis, whoalso provided needed lead-ership. “A lot of times in asituation like this, you hearabout teams falling apartand people pointing blameand going to the media forcertain things.
“Because of the level ofrespect we all have for
him, and the trust we havefor him, you saw nothingbut a team come together,even after losing 26 games.Ending the way we did, webecame stronger andstronger as a unit. And Ithink that’s a great testa-ment to him.”
Scott arrived inCleveland with a reputa-tion for turning bad teamsinto good ones. Now thathe’s gotten the bad part outof the way, Scott’s lookingforward to the next step.The Cavaliers didn’talways understand orembrace his ways. Hepushed them to exhaustionin camp, demanded every-thing they had during theseason, and never allowedthe Cavaliers to be satis-fied — about anything.
He needed to toughenthem up. Eventually, theydid.
“There were so manyopportunities for our guysto go haywire, go differentplaces, but they never did,”Scott said. “They hung inthere as a group, showedme a lot about their charac-ter. These guys are notgoing to hang their headsand point fingers at oneanother, and point fingersat coaches or managementor whatever the case maybe. They hung in there, andthat showed me a lot.
“I know it was a toughsituation, but it also makesme feel a lot better aboutthe future as well.”
Scott never once regret-ted taking the job withCleveland. And now thathis first season is behindhim, he’s more convincedhe’s where he belongs.
FIESTA BOWL TO SEEKREIMBURSEMENT FROM LAWMAKERS
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona legislators who tookcross-country trips and accepted free game tickets fromthe Fiesta Bowl soon will get reimbursement invoices.
Bowl attorneys say they’re conducting an investiga-tion to determine the Fiesta’s total outlay on lawmakergifts and travel so they can seek reimbursement forthose expenses.
The Arizona Republic says some legislators could beasked to repay the bowl for a range of expenses, includ-ing airfare, lodging and meals. In some cases, invoicescould be in the thousands of dollars.
Under state law, lawmakers can accept gifts and freetravel as long as they are publicly disclosed. Free tick-ets to entertainment events are restricted in some cases.
A few legislators have written checks in the past twoweeks to reimburse the Fiesta Bowl for free game tick-ets and-or travel-related expenses.
INDIANS MAKE BULLPEN MOVE
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians haveoptioned reliever Frank Herrmann to the minor leaguesto make room for Joe Smith.
The club says Smith will be activated from the 15-daydisabled list on Friday before the Indians open a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles. Smith beganthe season on the DL with an abdominal strain sustainedduring training camp.
Herrmann made four appearances this season, postingan 8.31 ERA in 4 1-3 innings. He will join Cleveland’sTriple-A team in Columbus.
