The art of acceptance
Local artist’s work on display
By Michelle Miller
Special to OVP
GALLIPOLIS — Acceptance
of self and acceptance of others is at the heart of Gabe
Richmond’s art show “In a New
Light” which is now on display
at the Artisan Shoppe & Studio
in Gallipolis.
Richmond has a long history
of putting his artistic talents
to professional use. He started
hanging out in his father’s tattoo shop when he was a child
and was professionally tattooing by the age of seventeen.
After high school, he continued
tattooing, but as his family
grew, he found it more difficult
to tattoo full-time due to the
seasonality of the business.
In order to supplement his
income, he worked various jobs
and tattooed when he could to
maintain a steady income that
provided for his family.
Eventually, Richmond began
looking for ways he could make
a living as a full-time artist.
Enter the art program at the
University of Rio Grande. Richmond, with the full support of
his family, applied, was accepted and started in the program
in 2014. Originally, he had
considered pursuing a teaching degree in art but was told
his tattoos may prevent him
from getting a job in the area.
So, he switched to general fine
arts, with the ultimate goal of
obtaining his master’s degree
in the future.
“Once I got into art school, I
figured out that art was about
a lot more than just making
something that looked nice,”
said Richmond. “Art goes a lot
deeper than that. They want
you to ask questions. They
want you to have content in
your work that deals with situations. They want it to have
some type of meaning. When
somebody looks at it, you want
someone to question something.”
Richmond faced a lot of
judgment from others while
he was growing up and it was
those hardships that worked
their way into his art. Whether
it is the two-sided sculptures,
featuring tattooed faces with
contrasting inscriptions, like
a woman’s face with the word
harlot on one side and daughter on the other, or the use of
mixing animal and human features, Richmond’s body of work
is an artistic commentary on
the judgements of others and
hiding oneself for fear of those
judgements. Tattooing the faces
also holds its own commentary,
as often face tattoos are viewed
as the most taboo of tattoos.

Gabe Richmond’s art show “In A New Light” will be at the Artisan Shoppe &
Studio through the first part of February. Pictured is Richmond with some of his
art pieces.
Specifically, with his photography, which often depicts
people wearing animal masks
in a wooded setting, Richmond
said it’s almost like he is presenting them in a way that they
have a hidden strength. He’s
always been fascinated with
supernatural beings like shapeshifters and werewolves for
that very reason. Much of that
fascination has worked its way
into his artwork.
“By mixing the animals and
the people together, I feel like
I’m creating a world where people can truly, authentically be
themselves,” said Richmond.
Some of Richmond’s newest
pieces, which are on display,
include a new use of decals on
his works. For instance, one of
his sculptures “As We Grow”
depicts flowers that appear to
be growing on the sculpture of
a woman’s chest to symbolize
growing into the person you
want to be. Above the chest are
mirrored images of a bear face
and a fox face.
“I really want people to look
at other people from different angles. The majority of
my work deals with the relationship between the fear of
whether or not you’re going to
be accepted for who you are.
For instance, I feel like a lot
of people are afraid to present
themselves how they really
want to present themselves. Or
they’re afraid to come out and
do things that they fear will not
be accepted by other people,”

From left, FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel
and Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats arrive to testify
before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in
Washington on Tuesday. They warned of an increasingly diverse
range of security dangers around the globe, from North Korean
nuclear weapons to Chinese cyberespionage to Russian campaigns
to undermine Western democracies.
US intel heads list
North Korea, not
border, as threat to US
By Robert Burns
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON —
Directly contradicting
President Donald Trump,
U.S. intelligence agencies told Congress on
Tuesday that North Korea
is unlikely to dismantle
its nuclear arsenal, that
the Islamic State group
remains a threat and that
the Iran nuclear deal is
working. The chiefs made
no mention of a crisis at
the U.S.-Mexican border
for which Trump has
considered declaring a
national emergency.
Their analysis stands in
sharp contrast to Trump’s
almost singular focus on
security gaps at the border as the biggest threat
facing the United States.
Top security officials
including FBI Director
Christopher Wray, CIA
Director Gina Haspel
and Director of National
Intelligence Dan Coats
presented an update to
the Senate intelligence
committee on Tuesday on
their annual assessment
of global threats. They
warned of an increasingly
diverse range of security dangers around the
globe, from North Korean
nuclear weapons to
Chinese cyberespionage
to Russian campaigns
to undermine Western
democracies.
Coats said intelligence
information does not
support the idea that
North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un will eliminate
his nuclear weapons and
the capacity for building
more — a notion that is
the basis of the U.S. negotiating strategy.

BISMARCK, N.D. —
Winter’s sharpest bite in
years moved past painful
into life-threatening territory Tuesday, prompting officials throughout
the Midwest to take
extraordinary measures
to protect the homeless
and other vulnerable
people from the bitter
cold, including turning
some city buses into
mobile warming shelters
in Chicago.
Temperatures plunged
as low as minus 26 in
North Dakota with wind
chills as low as minus
62 in Minnesota. It
was nearly that cold in
Wisconsin and Illinois.
Governors in Wisconsin,
Illinois and Michigan
declared emergencies
as the worst of the cold
threatened on Wednesday.
The National Weather
Service forecast for
Wednesday night called
for temperatures in
Chicago as low as minus
28, with wind chills to
minus 50. Detroit’s outlook was for Wednesday
overnight lows around
minus 15, with wind
chills dropping to minus
40.
“These are actually a
public health risk and
you need to treat it
appropriately and with
that effort,” Chicago
Mayor Rahm Emanuel
said Tuesday. “They are
life-threatening conditions and temperatures.”
A wind chill of minus
25 can freeze skin within
15 minutes, according
to the National Weather
Service.
At least four deaths
were linked to the
weather system, including a man struck and
killed by a snow plow
in the Chicago area, a
young couple whose
SUV struck another on a
snowy road in northern
Indiana and a Milwaukee
man found frozen to
death in a garage.

western cities including
Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Chicago and Detroit
were desperately trying
to get the homeless off
the streets.
Minneapolis charitable
groups that operate
warming places and shelters expanded hours and
capacity, and ambulance
crews handled all outside
calls as being potentially
life-threatening, according to Hennepin County
Emergency Management
Director Eric Waage.
MetroTransit said it
wouldn’t remove people
from buses if they were
riding them simply to
stay warm, and weren’t
being disruptive.
Emanuel said Chicago
was turning five buses
into makeshift warming centers moving
around the city, some
with nurses aboard, to
encourage the homeless
to come in from the
cold.
“We’re bringing the
warming shelters to
them, so they can stay
near all of their stuff
and still warm up,”
said Cristina Villarreal, spokeswoman for
the city’s Department
of Family and Support
Services.

together to help get
vulnerable people out
of the cold, offering
the message to those
who refused help that
“you’re going to freeze
or lose a limb,” said
Terra DeFoe, a senior
adviser to Detroit
Mayor Mike Duggan.
Nineteen-year-old
Deontai Jordan and
dozens of others found
refuge from the cold
in the basement of a
church in Ann Arbor,
Michigan.
“You come here, you
can take a nap, you
can snack, you can
use the bathroom, you
might even be able to
shower,” he said. “And
then they’re feeding you
well. Not to mention
they give out clothes,
they give out shoes,
they give out socks.”
Hundreds of public
schools from North
Dakota to Missouri
to Michigan canceled
classes Tuesday, and
some on Wednesday
as well. So did several
large universities.
Closing schools for an
extended stretch isn’t
an easy decision, even
though most school
districts build potential
makeup days into their
schedules, said Josh
Collins, spokesman for
the Minnesota Department of Education.
“Many students, they
might have two working parents, so staying home might mean
they’re not supervised,”
he said. “For some lowincome students, the
lunch they receive at
school might be their
most nutritious meal of
the day.”
American Indian
tribes in the Upper
Midwest were doing
what they could to help
members in need with
heating supplies.
Many people on the
Standing Rock Sioux
Reservation in the
Dakotas live in housing that’s decades old
and in disrepair, or in
emergency government
housing left over from
southern disasters such
as hurricanes.
“They aren’t made for
this (northern) country.
The cold just goes right
through them,” said
Elliott Ward, the tribe’s
emergency response
manager.
The extreme cold was
“a scary situation” for
the White Earth Band
of Ojibwe, said Chris
Fairbanks, manager of
the northern Minnesota
tribe’s energy assistance program.
“We have many, many
calls coming in. We’re
just swamped trying
to get everybody what
they need,” she said.
The cold was even
shutting down typical
outdoor activities. A ski
hill in the Minneapolis
area said it would close
through Wednesday. So
did an ice castle attraction.
The cold weather
was even affecting beer
deliveries, with a pair
of western Wisconsin
distributors saying they
would delay or suspend
shipments for fear that
beer would freeze in
their trucks.
The unusually frigid
weather is attributed to
a sudden warming far
above the North Pole. A
blast of warm air from
misplaced Moroccan
heat last month made
the normally super
chilly air temperatures
above the North Pole
rapidly increase. That
split the polar vortex
into pieces, which then
started to wander, said
Judah Cohen, a winter
storm expert for Atmospheric Environmental
Research.
One of those polar
vortex pieces is responsible for the subzero
temperatures across the
Midwest this week.

THEIR VIEW
Joy in a
2,495-game
losing streak
Born to lose.
What do a goose and a meadowlark have in
common? More than you think — if you are a
Harlem Globetrotter fan.
Reece “Goose” Tatum, the original “Clown Prince of Basketball”,
talked his friend, George “Meadowlark” Lemon, into joining the other
merrymakers in the red, white and
blue uniforms of the Globetrotters.
Goose and Meadowlark paved the
Pat
way for others with fowl-sounding
Haley
nicknames, Donald “Ducky” Moore,
Contributing
Jonathan “Hawk” Thomas and
columnist
Hubert “Geese” Ausbie, thus proving the adage, “Birds of a feather
flock together.”
In March 1955, the Globetrotters played their
first nationally televised game, and the Haley
family’s Zenith black and white television was
tuned to one of the three television stations in
Cincinnati. Precisely at 1:30 p.m. we turned on
the Soupy Sales Show to watch Soupy get a few
pies in the face before the Globetrotters came on.
At about 1:40 p.m. two incidents occurred in
rapid succession. Soupy Sales opened his mouth
wide to laugh, and a fast-moving lemon meringue
pie hit him square in the teeth.
The second event was far less amusing.
The dreaded Indian-head test pattern came on
the screen and blocked the show. Then, the 10
words all baby boomers feared most appeared on
the screen: PLEASE STAND BY: The trouble is
not with your set …
“Do you think it would help if I turned the rabbit ears?” I asked my dad.
“No. It’s ABC. You know how that can be,” my
dad answered.
I was crestfallen. I had been looking forward to
watching the Globetrotters for weeks.
“Here’s a nickel. Go get yourself a candy bar.
Maybe it will be back on when you get home,”
my dad said kindly.
I ran to the store in record time. When I
returned home, Soupy was signing off and the
Globetrotters were coming on. I was elated!
The Globetrotters didn’t disappoint. I laughed
heartily at the comic routines — Goose kicking
a “field goal” through the basket like a football,
and Marques Haynes magically dribbling the ball
and sliding along the floor while members of the
opposing Washington Generals chased after him.
For many weeks after the television broadcast,
young boys in Port William, like most young boys
across the nation, I suspect, tried to emulate
the Globetrotters. We dribbled the basketball
between our legs, threw passes behind our backs,
and whistled “Sweet Georgia Brown’” when we
warmed up.
My family has seen the Globetrotters three
times in person: Once at the Nutter Center when
our son, Greg, was a little boy. Then about six
years ago, we took grandson, Jack, to Columbus
and saw them at the Schottenstein Center.
Last week, our whole family went to Rupp
Arena in Lexington to see them, and we all
laughed as hard as I did 63 years ago.
Jack Haley was in heaven when the Globetrotter hit the “four-pointers” beyond half court, or
stuffed the basketball up the referee’s shirt. The
routines and comedy remain clean, wholesome,
and just what a family needs particularly in this
day and age.
The Washington Generals play against the Globetrotters every afternoon or evening, and they
lose. According to a recent article, the Generals
endure tricks. They play the clown. Then, they
walk off the court, losers. Again.
The Generals new coach, Sam Worthen, has
a message for the folks who come to watch the
usual Globetrotter hijinks: the half-court heaves
and the passing-drill warm-ups, the confetti icebucket tricks, the dribbling wizardry, and always,
the winning scoreboard at the end.
“We want people to know that we are serious
about beating the Globetrotters,” said Worthen.
“Serious as a tax audit.”
Worthen might want to be careful what he
wishes for. The Generals, coached by Louis
“Red” Klotz, had a 2,495-game losing streak. In
fact, between 1952-2015, the Generals lost more
than 17,000 times to the Globetrotters.
One morning in Martin, Tennessee, Curly
Neal, the Globetrotters dribbling wizard, woke
up sick. The Globetrotters showed up at the old
fieldhouse, but without Curly they had to tone
down the “joke” aspect of the game, and play
seriously.
The Generals were playing the best ball of
their lives. By the time the Globetrotters realized it, they were trailing by 12 points late in the
game. Finally, the Globetrotters mounted a furious comeback and took a 99-98 lead with only a
few seconds left.
“Red” Klotz was 50 years old. He hoisted-up

Building trails on your property
Have you ever hiked
the Appalachian Trail or
one like it?
One of the great pleasures is to enjoy a walk
in the woods and fields
without having to stumble through the brush
or worry about what’s
underfoot. You can move
quietly through nature,
enjoying the wildlife
around you.
Those of you with
natural areas on your own
property probably would
enjoy it more if you had
nice trails to walk on
year-round.
A good trail is wide
enough for two people to
walk side-by-side but not
wide enough for ATV’s.
There are no overhanging
branches or stickers to
grab you on the way past,
and the treadway drains
quickly when it rains so
there’s no mud.
The slopes are gentle,
— not more than a 10%
percent grade to climb.
It’s well marked so you
won’t lose your way.
Trails like this take

Roush stated the

previously. The current
ATV is about a decade
old and it has begun to

that the turnout gear

Waterford slips past Lady Eagles, 53-44

EHS sophomore Kennadi Rockhold (center) brings the ball up court past the
Waterford press, during Eastern’s 53-44 setback on Monday in Tuppers Plains,
Ohio.
TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio —
A championship-clinching win
with a game-sealing run.
The Waterford girls basketball team closed Monday’s
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division bout at Eastern with
a 13-to-2 run, giving the Lady
Wildcats a 53-44 victory and at
least a share of their fifth consecutive league title.
Waterford (13-2 13-0 TVC
Hocking) scored the first
six points of the game, holding Eastern (10-8, 9-3) off
the board for 2:50. The Lady
Eagles stormed back with an
11-to-3 spurt and took the lead
for the first time, at 11-9, with
25 seconds left in the first.
Waterford tied the game at
11 on the final bucket of the
opening quarter, and then the
Lady Wildcats scored the first
four points of the second quarter. The teams swapped the
lead three more times in the
period, with Eastern’s advantage growing as high as six
points, at 25-19, with 1:35 left
in the half.
WHS hit a pair of free throws
in the remainder of the half,
trimming the Lady Eagle lead
to 25-21 by the break.
Waterford made the opening bucket of the second half,
but Eastern scored the next
six points and led by eight,
at 31-23, with 5:35 left in the
third. The guests responded
with a 12-to-3 run, regaining
the edge with 2:43 left in the
period. The hosts tied the
game at 35, but a 5-to-2 spurt
gave WHS a 40-37 lead with
eight minutes to play.
EHS senior Alyson Bailey
made back-to-back baskets to
open the final quarter, giving
EHS a 42-40 edge with 6:37
remaining. The Lady Wildcats
were back in front with a 4-0
run, before EHS senior Kelsey
Casto tied the game at 44 with
a two-pointer at the 4:12 mark.
The Lady Eagles were held
off the board for the remainder
of the game, however, as Waterford scored nine unanswered
points to cap off the 53-44 victory.

Lady Tornadoes
get swept by
Trimble, 58-39
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com
GLOUSTER, Ohio — Round 2 wasn’t as close.
The Southern girls basketball team — which
fell to Trimble by a 36-31 count on Dec. 17 in
Racine — faced the same Lady Tomcats on Monday in Athens County, where the Lady Tornadoes
dropped a 58-39 decision.
Southern (0-19, 0-13) played evenly with the
hosts for the first eight minutes, with each team
scoring a dozen points in the span.
The Lady Tomcats, however, went on a 10-to-5
run in the second quarter and headed into the
break with a 22-17 advantage.
Trimble tripled its lead in the third quarter,
outscoring Southern by a 19-to-9 clip to make the
margin 41-26 with eight minutes to play.
The Lady Tornadoes put together their best
offensive period of the night in the fourth, scoring
13 points. However, Trimble tallied 17 points in
the finale, sealing the 58-39 victory.
The guests shot 16-of-40 (40 percent) from the
field, including 3-of-8 (37.5 percent) from threepoint range, while Trimble was 21-of-45 (46.7
percent) from the field, including 3-of-8 (37.5
percent) from deep. At the foul line, Southern was
4-of-5 (80 percent), while THS was 13-of-18 (72.2
percent).
The hosts won the rebounding battle by a 27-to21 clip, including 17-to-7 on the offensive end.
SHS committed 23 turnovers, just three more than
Trimble, while recording team totals of 17 steals,
four assists and three blocked shots.
Kayla Evans, Phoenix Cleland and Jordan Hardwick scored 11 points apiece to lead the Lady Tornadoes, with Evans earning team-highs of eight
rebounds, seven steals and two blocked shots, and
Cleland adding a team-best two assists. Brooke
Crisp, Shelby Cleland and Ella Cooper each scored
two points to cap off the guests’ total.
Brianna Orsborne led Trimble with 19 points,
followed by Laikyn Imler with 12 and Jayne Six
with 11. Next was Emily Young with seven points,
followed by Ashlynn Hardy with five, Riley Campbell with three and Sophia Ives with one.
The Lady Tornadoes will be back on their home
court on Thursday against Belpre.

Atlanta preps for possible snow, ice ahead of Super Bowl
ATLANTA (AP) —
More than 100 flights
have been canceled Tuesday at Atlanta’s airport
and city leaders say they
fear ice could slicken
streets and freeways
just as thousands of fans
begin pouring into town
for Super Bowl 53.
The winter storm
churning into Georgia
comes five years after
cars, trucks and school
buses became marooned
on Atlanta freeways in
what became known as
“snow jam .”
A winter weather advisory goes into effect at 3
a.m. Tuesday for Atlanta,
a city known for grinding
to a halt in relatively light
snowfalls.
Delta Air Lines is “proactively” canceling about
170 flights at HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport, its main
hub, the Atlanta-based
airline announced late
Monday.
Georgia Gov. Brian
Kemp on Monday said
state offices in more
than 30 counties in the
northern part of the state
would be closed Tuesday,
including those in the
Atlanta area.
The National Weather
Service projects that up
to an inch (2.5 centimeters) of snow is possible
Tuesday in Atlanta, with
up to 2 inches (5 centimeters) in far northern
suburbs. Forecasters
warn of the possibility
of ice-glazed roads and
highways.
New England Patriots
fan Pamela Wales of Quincy, Massachusetts said it’s
the potential for ice that
concerns her most. During her visit to Atlanta
this week, local television
footage reminded her that
Atlanta and ice don’t mix
well.
“They were showing all
kinds of pictures on TV
from 2014 when everyone
got stuck,” Wales said as
she toured Super Bowl
exhibits at the Georgia
World Congress Center
Monday afternoon.
The potential for black
ice is also “the overriding
concern” among emergency officials, said Homer
Bryson, director of the
Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland
Security Agency.
“Temperatures are
going to plummet,” the
governor said at a Monday news conference.
“It’s very similar to
what we saw in 2014
where the roadways will
not have time to dry off
before the moisture or
precipitation on them
refreezes,” Kemp said.
“And that’s when you
have black ice, and that’s
what causes wrecks,
which causes gridlock
and public safety issues,
injuries.”
Road crews on Monday
began treating major
interstates, state routes
and overpasses in north
Georgia with brine — a
liquid salt mixture — in
anticipation of the storm.

Cashless Super Bowl coming? Visa says yes
ATLANTA (AP) — So you’re
headed to the Super Bowl some
year in the future, and you’re wondering how much cash you’ll need
for the big game.
No worries: During its sponsorship renewal with the NFL through
the 2025 season, Visa envisions the
first cashless Super Bowl.
It won’t be this year, although 50
percent of concession stands that
are available for making purchases
for Sunday’s title game between
the Rams and Patriots will be cashless. But it likely is coming.
“Part of what we talk a lot about
with the NFL is getting a path to
cashless events, and the epicenter
is the Super Bowl,” says Chris
Curtin, Visa’s chief brand and innovation marketing officer. “We are
working on an architecture that
will get us there, it’s something we
are really keen on.
“We want an experience that
from head to toe will be a cashless
experience. The NFL has agreed
to partner with us in making that
a reality. That is where our energy
is now. We have a lot of learnings
from other partnerships such as
the Olympics and World Cup, we
would like to apply those learnings to this experience and make it
engaging and rewarding and inviting to fans.”
And not only at the Super Bowl,
but at other league-run events such
as the draft, the Pro Bowl, and the
international games in London and
Mexico City. During Super Bowl
week in Atlanta, Visa is activating
a dedicated “MVP” checkout lane
at the NFL Shop to encourage
cardholders to pay with contactless devices and get in and out of
line quickly. They also might run
into an NFL player manning the
checkout.
Eli Manning and Saquon Barkley
of the New York Giants and Leonard Williams of the New York Jets
will be putting through some shoppers’ orders.
“We have athletes affiliated with
Team Visa who will do surprising light moments and be ‘manning the cashiers,’ and also going
around town in Atlanta and able
to bring a different kind of excitement for people there for the Super
Bowl,” Curtin says. “The goal is
to have best in class experiences
in the stadium itself, at the NFL
Shop, at the Super Bowl Experience— have a lot of convenience
— and be able to see a lot of the
faces of all the ad campaigns fans
have seen during the season who
will be doing things in relation to
payments.”
The NFL, which re-upped with
Visa on Tuesday, likes the idea of
no cash for another reason: security.

The current CBA,
negotiated in 2011,
increased the percentage of salary cap space
devoted to veteran players by creating a rookie
pay scale. (Though the
pay scale has decreased
the payout, it has, ironically, resulted in most
first-round draft picks’
contracts being fully
guaranteed.) Another
feature of the contract,
the minimum salary
benefit, also put the veterans on equal footing
with younger players in
regard to the salary cap.
The thinking was that
would make more money
available to keep some of
the “middle-class” veterans playing longer.
But an Associated
Press analysis of rosters
over the past 14 seasons
showed average experience has been on a fairly
steady decline — from
4.6 years in 2005 to
4.3 in 2018. It only
served to widen the gap
between high-profile
players with leverage
and those without it.
The union argues it
has helped all players by

in the salary cap, which
has grown from $120
million in 2011 to $177
million this season.

2 baseball scouts
have intriguing ties
to Super Bowl QBs
SAN FRANCISCO
(AP) — The Montreal
Expos would be thrilled
with this Super Bowl.
And those who used to
be part of the defunct
baseball franchise’s
evaluation process certainly are, even all these
years later.
Gone from the game
for nearly 15 years, the
former club has ties to
both quarterbacks in
Sunday’s NFL championship game.
The Expos traded
for Jared Goff’s father,
Jerry, nearly three
decades ago. Goff made
his major league debut
for Montreal in 1990
and played 55 games for
the team as a backup
catcher that year and in
1992.
Just a few years
later, Montreal drafted
another catcher from
Northern California,
making Tom Brady
an 18th-round choice
before he decided to
stick with football.
“I could have ruined
the history of the NFL,”
former Expos scout
John Hughes said with
a chuckle, considering what might have
been had Brady chosen
baseball. “I love it when
he goes to the Super
Bowl.”
Both John Hughes
and another former
Expos scout, Gary
Hughes (no relation)
are downright giddy
about the game in
Atlanta, if not just a
little bit torn because
they’re thrilled for both
quarterbacks.
Gary Hughes helped
acquire Jerry Goff in
1990 from Seattle and
is a fellow graduate,
along with Brady, of
Serra High School in
San Mateo, California.
Hughes had yet to
fully ponder the pair-
ing when he received
a timely text message
from a Red Sox scouting colleague.
“It’s the Gary Hughes
Super Bowl,” Paul
Toboni wrote his pal.
Hard to argue that
one.
“I got a kick out of it.
He was right on top of
that,” Gary Hughes said.
Yes, indeed.
Gary Hughes, with
52 years in baseball,
was working as Marlins
scouting director when
he evaluated Brady playing baseball for Serra.
Before that, Hughes
worked as a Bay Areabased Western cross
checker for the Yankees
when New York drafted
Jerry Goff in the 12th
round in 1984 out of
College of Marin. Later,
after Goff was drafted
again by the Mariners
in the 1986 third round
out of the University of
California in Berkeley,
Hughes was scouting
director of the Expos.
He watched Goff play
Double-A ball in Seattle’s farm system before
acquiring the left-handed hitting backstop.
John Hughes was the
Expos’ Northern California area scout when
he pushed for Brady.
“As long as Gary
doesn’t take credit for
drafting him,” John
Hughes said of his scouting colleague and friend.
John Hughes also
worked 12 years on the
Cal staff as a pitching
coach and had Jerry
Goff on the team in
Berkeley.
The connections run
even deeper for Gary
Hughes. He taught P.E.
and English and served
as athletic director
during nine years working at Marin Catholic
High, where Jared Goff
starred.
