Numerous trees line the walking path at the park, decorated by businesses, organizations and individuals. The trees are to be illuminated on Saturday following the village’s Christmas parade which is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. When state Rep. John Becker’s summer plan to impeach Gov. Mike DeWine received quick endorsements from three legislative colleagues, he hoped the momentum would snowball throughout the end of 2020. That did not happen. In social media posts and Statehouse speeches, Republican lawmakers have criticized the governor’s handling of COVID19. They’ve complained about a lack of communication and the need for constitutional checks and balances. But they evidently do not want to impeach him. No one else has publicly supported the effort since it was announced in August.

Republican Rep. Jim Hoops introduced a bill to halt the collection of at least $170 million in nuclear and solar subsidies for one year. The $1 billion nuclear bailout will add a fee to every electricity bill in the state starting Jan. 1 unless the Legislature takes an emergency vote to repeal the law by year’s end. Hoops is the chairman of the select committee tasked with overseeing the future of the now-tainted legislation. The Napoleon lawmaker told Gongwer News Service he has the support of House leadership on the new bill and plans to hold hearings Wednesday and Thursday on its potential passage. The eleventh-hour bill follows months of inﬁghting within the majority party on what action to take on the nuclear bailout legislation that led to the downfall of their former speaker. Attorney General Dave Yost, also a Republican, ﬁled a lawsuit in September to delay Energy Harbor from collecting the subsidies.

Los Angeles County imposed a stay-at-home order for its 10 million residents, and Santa Clara County, in the heart of Silicon Valley, banned high school, college and professional sports and decreed a quarantine for those who have traveled more than 150 miles outside the county. In Hawaii, the mayor of Hawaii County said trans-Paciﬁc travelers arriving without a negative COVID-19 test must quarantine for 14 days, and even those who have tested virus-free may be randomly selected for another test upon arrival. New Jersey is suspending all youth sports. “The red ﬂags are ﬂying in terms of the trajectory in our projections of growth,” said California Gov. Gavin Newsom. “If these trends continue, we’re going to have to take much more dramatic, arguably drastic, action.” Health experts had pleaded with Americans to stay home over Thanksgiving and not gather with anyone who didn’t live with them. Nevertheless, almost 1.2 million people passed through U.S. airports Sunday, the most since the pandemic gripped the West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said hospitals across the state will reduce elective surgeries to ensure there is room for coronavirus patients. The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 jumped 29% in the past week. country in March, and others took to the highways to be with family and friends. Now they’re being urged to watch for any signs of illness and get tested right away if they experience symptoms. Some families are already seeing the fallout from Thanksgiving gatherings. Jonathan Eshnaur lugged his 32-inch TV to a Thanksgiving Day family gathering at his sister’s home in Olathe, Kansas, so he could watch football outside. He wore a mask and only went into her house for the prayer and to use the bathroom. His father began feeling terrible that day and tested positive the next. His mother now is showing symptoms, and six others were exposed. “I think we all have a tendency to think it won’t happen to me,” said Eshnaur, a 34-year-old special education teacher. “But that is kind of the issue with these kinds of viruses is it does happen, especially when we have widespread community spread that is going on.” Priya Patel, 24, is isolating at her parents’ home in San Antonio after visiting friends over the weekend and coming down with a sore throat. Patel, who works in public health in New York City, said she had been careful, wearing masks in public and staying out of restaurants and bars. But she spent time at a friend’s home in Texas over Thanksgiving. “I’m an extremely extroverted person, and there is just so much time I can spend with my parents at home,” said Patel, who will stay away from her parents, both of whom have preexisting medical conditions, and wear a mask inside their home for the next 14 days. Health ofﬁcials are urging people to remain vigilant until a vaccine becomes widely available, which is not expected to happen for at least a few months. On Monday, Moderna Inc. said it will ask U.S. and European regulators to allow emergency use of its COVID-19 vaccine as new study results conﬁrm the shots offer strong protection. Pﬁzer is also seeking approval for its vaccine and hopes to begin administering shots in the U.S. in December. The virus is blamed for over 267,000 deaths and more than 13.4 million conﬁrmed infections in the U.S. The country on average is seeing more than 160,000 new cases per day and over 1,400 deaths — a toll on par with what the nation witnessed in mid-May, when New York City was the epicenter. A record 90,000 people were in the hospital with the virus in the U.S. as of Sunday, pushing many medical institutions to the limit.

The regular season starts on Dec. 22, three weeks from Tuesday. A schedule for the ﬁrst half of the shortened 72-game regular season could be known in the coming days, and many teams are still deciding if they can begin the season with fans in their arenas or not. The NBA champion Lakers have already said they aren’t having fans in their building to start the season; Charlotte and Oklahoma City announced Monday that they will begin their home schedules the same way. “This is going to be a challenging season for us,” Phoenix general manager James Jones said. “We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure that we try to stay COVIDfree and try to stay healthy. With 72 games in a condensed season and more or increased back-to-backs means that we’ll have to manage our time appropriately.” For nine coaches — Tom Thibodeau in New York, Steve Nash in Brooklyn, Billy Donovan in Chicago, Doc Rivers in Philadelphia, Nate Bjorkgren in Indiana, Stan Van Gundy in New Orleans, Stephen Silas in Houston, Mark Daigneault in Oklahoma City and Tyronn Lue with the Los Angeles Clippers — this week marks the formal start of their on-court tenures with their clubs. It’ll also be the ﬁrst training camp as head coach for J.B. Bickerstaff in Cleveland; he took over as coach of the Cavaliers in February. Some teams haven’t played since March 11. Others saw their seasons resume in July, then end in August or September. And for the Lakers and the Heat, the NBA ﬁnalists, the season went until midOctober. Not even two months later, it’s time to play again. MLB launches wood-bat league for prospects NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is creating a minor league for top eligible prospects leading to the summer draft. The wood-bat MLB Draft League is launching with ﬁve teams and could add a sixth, MLB said Monday. Teams will play a 68-game regular season that includes an All-Star break coinciding with the draft in early July. MLB also announced that the eight-team Pioneer League will lose its afﬁliated status and become an independent “Partner League.” MLB has pledged to provide initial funding for operating expenses and will install scouting technology at league stadiums. The Pioneer League spans Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Utah and had been a Rookie-level afﬁliated league since 1964. Teams in the MLB Draft League are going to communities that lost franchises when MLB began shrinking the afﬁliated minor leagues from 160 to 120 teams. The reduction this offseason followed the expiration of the Professional Baseball Agreement, which governed the relationship between the majors and minors. MLB has planned to eliminate the separate governing body of minor league baseball. The founding members of the MLB Draft League are located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New Jersey: the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, the State College Spikes, the Trenton Thunder, the West Virginia Black Bears and the Williamsport Crosscutters. MLB said it is in discussions with a sixth team that it hopes to announce soon. The season will run roughly from late May through mid-August, broken into halves. The ﬁrst half will be a showcase for draft-eligible high school, college and junior college players. Following a multiday break for the draft, rosters will be restocked with the best players passed over by MLB teams who are still interested in signing. The start of the season will overlap with the College World Series, meaning some top players won’t be able to join until after opening day, similar to other college summer leagues like the Cape Cod League. MLB’s push to shrink the minors had drawn criticism from many in minor league communities, including politicians. A trio of U.S. senators — Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia — praised the MLB Draft League as a way to keep high-level baseball in their communities. “I’m glad that MLB listened,” Brown said. “The formation of the MLB Draft League is good news for baseball and for fans in the (Mahoning) Valley, who will get to continue to see high-level See MLB | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Dec. 3 Girls Basketball Eastern at Federal Hocking, 7:30 South Gallia at Trimble, 7:30 Gallia Academy at Coal Grove, 7:30 Friday, Dec. 4 Boys Basketball South Gallia at River Valley, 7:30 Nelsonville-York at Southern, 7:30 Gallia Academy at Athens, 7:30 Saturday, Dec. 5 College Football Rice at Marshall, noon Buffalo at Ohio, 3:30 West Virginia at Iowa State, 3:30 Boys Basketball Fort Frye at Meigs, 7:30 Symmes Valley at South Gallia, 8 p.m. Girls Basketball Nelsonville-York at River Valley, 2:30 Vinton County at Meigs, 4:30 Symmes Valley at South Gallia, 6:30 Wrestling EHS, MHS at Waterford, 10 a.m. Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Ohio redshirt senior Ryan Luehrman (88) makes his second touchdown grab of the day, during the Bobcats’ 52-10 victory on Saturday in Athens, Ohio. Ohio flattens Falcons, 52-10 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ATHENS, Ohio — Dominating every phase of the game. The Ohio University football team defeated Mid-American Conference guest Bowling Green 52-10 on Saturday afternoon at Peden Stadium, with the Bobcats ﬁnding the end zone seven times, including once on special teams, while coming up with three takeaways on defense. Ohio (2-1, 2-1 MAC) needed seven plays and just 3:15 to go up 7-0, with De’Montre Tuggle scoring on an eight-yard run and Tristian Vandenberg making his ﬁrst of seven point-after kicks. After the Bobcat defense forced its ﬁrst of four three-and-outs, the Ohio offense took over at its own 30. Tuggle was in the end zone on the very next play, making the Bobcat lead 14-0 with 9:28 left in the opening quarter. Bowling Green (0-4, 0-4) got on the board with a 32-yard ﬁeld goal by Nate Needham with 44 seconds left in the ﬁrst, but Julian Ross returned the ensuing kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, making Ohio’s advantage 21-3. The Falcon offense found success at the start of the second quarter, going 73 yards in ﬁve plays, with a 26-yard touchdown pass from Matt McDonald to Javonte Kinsey. Needham made 191 on the ground.

Phil Murphy announced the “Trenton Thunder is saved” during a COVID-19 press brieﬁng Monday. The draft league will be operated by Prep Baseball Report — a scouting, events and media organization focused on youth ball — and former Cape Cod League coach Kerrick Jackson has been appointed president. MLB said in a statement that players will “receive unprecedented visibility to MLB club scouts through both in-person observation and stateof-the-art scouting technology, and educational programming designed to prepare them for careers as professional athletes.” Morgan Sword, MLB’s executive vice president of baseball economics and operations, called the venture a “one-of-a-kind league” that will allow fans to “see top prospects and future big-league stars in their hometowns.” He added that MLB is committed to “preserving and growing baseball in communities around the United States.” MLB announced in September that the Appalachian League, formerly a Rookie-level afﬁliated league, would be transformed into a wood-bat college summer league. rookie coach Kevin Stefanski’s “just go 1-0 this week” mandate and winning — and at this time of the year, that’s all that matters. Baker Mayﬁeld missed a couple easy throws that could have built Cleveland’s lead, and the Browns were called for a late roughing call that allowed the Jaguars (1-10) to hang around until the end on Sunday before losing 27-25. The test will be much tougher this week for the Browns, who will travel to Tennessee and take on the Titans (8-3), a team with Super Bowl aspirations and one capable of debunking the Browns as a serious threat going forward. But with star defensive end Myles Garrett set to return from a two-game COVID absence, the Browns, who have one win against a team with a winning record, believe they’re up to the challenge. “I do not look at the Titans as a super team,” wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge said Monday. “They can get beat like anybody else. We go into this game expecting to win and we are expecting to CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are in unfamiliar territory. The challenge is staying there. With a tougher-than-itshould-have-been win at Jacksonville on Sunday, Cleveland clinched just its third winning record over the last 21 years. The Browns strengthened their grip on a playoff spot with one month left in this masked, muddled season. Yes, the Browns and the playoffs in the same sentence. Imagine that. At 8-3, Cleveland, which went an imperfect 0-16 just three years ago, has been a postseason outsider since 2002. It is still not being taken seriously by many pundits and fans, but has its best 11-game record since 8-2-1 in 1969. The Browns look like legitimate contenders with the No. 5 playoff seed. Appearances can be deceiving. They’ve taken advantage of a mushy schedule, going 3-0 so far against the underwhelming NFC East, 3-0 versus the AFC South, and have two wins over the lowly Cincinnati Bengals (2-8-1). Still, the Browns are following do our thing. I see this team going deep into playoffs, as far as we can go. “No one can stop us but us. That is how we look at it. That is how we are going to keep looking at it. As long as we play our game, we can beat anybody.” Stefanski feels the Browns have room to grow. “I do not think I have coached my best. I think as a staff we can do a better job. I know I can do a better job,” he said “That is the ideal here to be ascending in the second half of this season. December football. That is when you really do want to start playing your best football.” What’s working Nick Chubb’s return after missing four games with a sprained knee has the Browns’ running game revving at full speed again. With 207 yards on Sunday, Cleveland moved back atop the league’s rushing chart, averaging 161.4 yards per game. Chubb (719) and Kareem Hunt (706) are on track to break 1,000 yards apiece and the Browns ﬁgure to turn to them even more in cold weather and to put defenses away. What needs help Injuries and COVID-19 have ravaged Cleveland’s defense, which was already missing three starters going into Sunday’s game, then lost safety Ronnie Harrison with a shoulder injury on Jacksonville’s ﬁrst play. The secondary has been in constant change, and with all the moving parts, prone to mistakes and miscommunication. Key number 113 — Mayﬁeld’s pass attempts since his last interception, a mistake-free, ﬁvegame span during which the Browns have gone 4-1. Up next A throw-back, trenchwarfare meeting with the Titans and their powerful running back, Derrick Henry, who gashed the Colts for 178 yards and three TDs on Sunday.

Ohio Once full of hope, woeful Bengals now playing for pride From page 7 For BGSU, McDonald completed 9-of-20 pass attempts for 125 yards and a touchdown. Quintin Morris had a team-best six receptions for 69 yards, while Andrew Clair led the way on the ground with 118 yards on 15 tries. Darren Anders recorded a gamehigh 13 tackles for the Falcon defense, while Jordan Porter had the team’s lone sack. Ohio ﬁnishes up its home slate on Saturday against unbeaten Buffalo at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Dealing with more than their fair share of 2020 bad luck, the Cincinnati Bengals have ranged from terrible to fairly good in stretches, sometimes in the same game. The ﬂicker of excitement that was growing because of the development of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow ended when the top overall draft pick went down with a season-ending injury Nov. 22. Second-year coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Burrow will have surgery sometime this week. Now with ﬁve games to go, the Bengals (2-8-1) are playing for pride — and a late win or two that might show the team has at least made some progress from the 2-14 ﬁnish last year. “We’re sick and tired of this feeling,” Taylor said.

He picked liberal advisers who have long prioritized the nation’s workers and government efforts to address economic inequality. Unemployment remains high as the COVID-19 outbreak widens the gulf between average people and the wealthiest Americans. The virus, which has claimed more than 269,000 lives nationwide, is resurgent across the country amid holiday travel and colder weather sending people indoors. As he did frequently while campaigning, Biden promised that the U.S. would eventually emerge with an economy that is dramatically reshaped to better stamp out economic inequality. By Tammy Webber and Heather Hollingsworth “From the most unequal economic and job crisis in modern history, we can build a new American economy that works for all Americans, not just some,” Biden said as he introduced his choices for some of the government’s top economic posts during a speech at a theater in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has led his transition to the presidency. Tuesday also marked the president-elect’s ﬁrst appearance since breaking two small bones in his right foot while playing with one of his dogs over the weekend. He wore a black walking boot and moved gingerly but tried to keep things light. As he emerged from his motorcade, Biden pointed to his boot and lifted his leg brieﬂy to show it off. Asked about his foot by reporters, Biden responded only, “Good, thanks for asking.” The injury, while not serious, again intensiﬁes scrutiny on Biden’s age, given that he just turned 78 and is the oldest president ever to be in his ﬁrst term. Still, his team has tried to keep the focus on building out its government and upcoming policy challenges, chief among them the pandemic and the economy. Nearly 37,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in November, the most in any month since the dark early days of the pandemic, engulﬁng families in grief, ﬁlling obituary pages of small-town newspapers and testing the capacity of morgues, funeral homes and hospitals. Amid the resurgence, states have begun reopening ﬁeld hospitals to handle an inﬂux of patients that is pushing health care systems — and their workers — to the breaking point. Hospitals are bringing in mobile morgues. And funerals are being livestreamed or performed as drive-by affairs. Health ofﬁcials fear the crisis will be even worse in coming weeks, after many Americans ignored pleas to stay home over Thanksgiving and avoid people who don’t live with them. “I have no doubt that we’re going to see a climbing death toll ... and that’s a horriﬁc and tragic place to be,” said Josh Michaud, associate director of global health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “It’s going to be a very dark couple of weeks.” November’s toll was far lower than the 60,699 recorded in April but perilously close to the nexthighest total of almost 42,000 in May, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Deaths had dropped to just over 20,000 in June after states closed many businesses and ordered people to stay at home.
