Man
sentenced
to prison
for assault

GROVE CITY, Ohio (AP) — Former consumer watchdog Richard
Cordray said Tuesday that he will
focus his campaign for governor on
improving the lives of Ohio’s families and maintain a tone unlike he
encountered in Washington.
At a hometown diner called Lilly’s
Kitchen Table crowded with press
and supporters, Cordray, 58, said he
will focus on “kitchen table issues,”
including the costs of health care and
college, ﬁnding a better job and saving for retirement.
He also pledged to restore power
to local governments that have seen
cuts from Ohio’s Republican-led Leg-

islature.
“I will deliver results, and I’ll do it
the Ohio way — the way I’ve always
done things,” he said. “Not by stirring conﬂict, sowing division or
pitting people against one another.
We’re seeing way too much of that
from Washington, D.C.”
Many view Cordray as among the
Democrats’ strongest contenders
to seize a critical swing state from
Republicans next year. GOP Gov.
John Kasich is term-limited and
unable to seek re-election.

THEIR VIEW

This tax deal will
make America
more prosperous
An editorial from the Chicago Tribune:
Congress is now in the ﬁnal wrestling match
stage of creating a $1.5 trillion tax reform
package. House and Senate Republicans must
resolve differences in their bills in order to
hand completed legislation to President Donald
Trump.
You know Republicans want to get the deal
done, and you know Trump will sign what
Congress delivers. This has been a weird, ugly
year — long on political drama and short on
legislative accomplishments. The GOP needs to
prove it can govern. If a Republican-controlled
Congress and Republican president can’t fulﬁll a
promise to cut taxes, what can they accomplish?
The rest of us care
about outcomes, not What you’re left with

opportunity is on
the business side,
providing relief and investment incentives to
employers. Therefore, our focus is on whether
this bill reshapes tax policy in a way that helps
Americans become more prosperous by spurring
job and wage growth. We believe this tax reform
bill will strengthen the American economy and
create wealth, so we support passage.
These massive tax reform packages don’t
come around often. They are too difﬁcult. The
last big change came in 1986 under President
Ronald Reagan, back when it was practically
fashionable for lawmakers to do big deals across
the aisle. This time Democrats stand in opposition as, for example, Republicans stood against
Obamacare. Still, the country is weighing an
epochal change to the economy, making this “an
incredibly signiﬁcant time in our public life,”
U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, one of the Republican
tax reform leaders, tells us.
Any vote against this bill is a vote to maintain
America as it looks today. Are you happy with
the state of the economy since the end of the
Great Recession eight years ago? You shouldn’t
be. First, discard the impact of the stock market
boom fattening your 401(k) since Trump’s election, because that’s due in part to anticipation of
tax reform. Kill tax reform and you lose market
momentum.
What you’re left with is what this nation has
had: growth around 2 percent or less a year.
That’s not fast enough to boost stagnant wages,
increase the job participation rate or improve
U.S. competitiveness vs. other countries. Passing this tax reform should get the economy to
steady 3 percent growth. At that rate, the country generates trillions of dollars of new economic activity, creates jobs and increases household
income — money to be spent or saved.
The tax bill helps employers by lowering the
top U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to
about 20 percent. The ﬁnal rate hasn’t been set,
but it will be more in line with those of other
nations. The bill also takes a big step to encourage companies to repatriate more than $2 trillion in proﬁts that are parked overseas to avoid
that 35 percent rate. Companies would get a
chance to bring cash home at a one-time rate of
about 14 percent. With those changes, companies will invest to grow. Without those changes,
U.S. companies are more likely to move out of
the country or be acquired by foreign entities.
Another provision of the tax bill encourages
companies to buy more equipment by allowing
them to immediately and fully expense the cost.
Business investment is a big deal because, with
a lower marginal tax rate, businesses can spend
big to improve or expand their operations. And
if XYZ Co. buys more trucks, it needs more drivers.
Our major concern with this bill is the cost.
This plan may cost the government $1.5 trillion
over a decade in which the Congressional Budget Ofﬁce expects Washington to collect $43
trillion in revenue if the economy continues on
its current, slow-growth trajectory. If economic
growth rises to about 2.5 percent annually, this
package could pay for itself. If it doesn’t, the
nation’s $20 trillion debt would rise accordingly. Tax reform, then, is an investment in the
economy. As Roskam puts it, “We’re buying an
updated tax code and faster growth.”
One thing we hope that faster growth buys
us all is a new national discussion about how to
curtail spending and reduce the debt. The country can’t live by one side of the ledger. Eventually, revenue and expenditure need to come into
alignment.

The Eastern girls

the lead eight seconds
into Monday’s Tri-Valley

on their way to a 60-24
victory over visiting

Eastern (1-1, 1-0 TVC

game’s ﬁrst six points in
1:32, but South Gallia
(0-2, 0-1) played the Lady

scoring seven points. The
hosts closed the opening
stanza on a 9-0 run, making their advantage 22-7
eight minutes into play.

Both defenses stepped
up in the second quarter,
with Eastern outscoring
its guest by a 7-6 clip,
making the halftime margin 29-13.
The Lady Eagles

VINCENT, Ohio — A tale of two halves.
The Meigs girls basketball team led unbeaten
Warren by 10 points at halftime of Monday’s nonconference clash in Washington County, but the
Lady Warriors battled back to take a 44-40 victory, after hitting 10-of-12 free throws in the ﬁnale
stanza.
Eight minutes into play, Meigs (1-2) held a narrow 11-10 lead, combining two of trifectas, a pair
of two-pointers and one free throw.
The Lady Marauders allowed just Warren (4-0)
to score only four points in the second quarter,
while posting 13 points of their own to stretch the
lead to 24-14 at the midway point of the game.
The Lady Warriors cut their deﬁcit in half in
the third quarter, outscoring Meigs by a 14-9 clip
to make the Lady Marauder advantage 33-28 with
eight minutes to play.
After making just two ﬁeld goals in the third
quarter, the Lady Marauders managed just two
more in the fourth period, while going 2-of-8 from

Steelers lose Shazier on their way to Cincy win
night for a 23-20 victory
over the stunned-again
Bengals.
The Steelers (10-2)
extended their best start
since 2004 and remained
tied with New England
for best record in the
AFC. They’ll play in
Pittsburgh in two weeks,
a game that could decide
home-ﬁeld advantage for
the playoffs.
For now, their biggest
concern is Shazier, who
is the leading tackler
in one of the NFL’s top
defenses. He hurt his
back while making a
tackle in the ﬁrst quarter
and was taken off the
ﬁeld on a cart. He got
tests at a local hospital

that indicated no surgery was needed “at this
time,” the team said in a
statement.
Coach Mike Tomlin
visited him after the
game. The Steelers were
hopeful that Shazier
would return to Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
“Right now, we’re
just happy that he’s
getting the necessary
medical attention that he
deserves,” Tomlin said.
It was the most frightening injury in a game
full of vicious and illegal
hits. Thousands of dollars will be handed out in
ﬁnes by the league later
in the week.
The Bengals (5-7)

blew a 17-point lead in
their latest meltdown
against their Ohio River
rival, one that essentially ended their playoff
hopes. It was typical of
their self-destruction
whenever they play the
Steelers. Cincinnati managed only 13 yards in the
fourth quarter while the
Steelers completed their
comeback. The Bengals
had a team-record 173
yards in penalties.
In some ways, it was
reminiscent of the Bengals’ implosion during
the 2015 playoff game
that helped the Steelers
rally for an 18-16 win on
Boswell’s ﬁeld goal in
the closing seconds.

Furious rally powers Ohio State to 71-62 win over Michigan
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Down by 20 just
before halftime Monday
night, Ohio State stormed
back and dominated
Michigan in the second
half on the way to a 71-62
victory.
The Buckeyes (7-3, 2-0
Big Ten) sprinted out on
a blistering 19-3 run to
begin the second half, following a 7-0 burst to end
the ﬁrst. A Kam Williams
jumper with 3:32 left in
the game tied it at 60.
Ohio State turned up the
defensive pressure and
hit 11 free throws in the
last 2:15 to pull away and
complete the comeback.
“We knew in the ﬁrst
half if we kept playing like
that, we would have got-

ten run out of the gym,”
Williams said. “You deﬁnitely don’t want that in
front of your home fans.
We just made little adjustments, played a little
harder.”
Keita Bates-Diop
scored 18 and C.J. Jackson added 17 to pace
Ohio State, which beat
Wisconsin by 25 points
on Saturday.
Moritz Wagner led the
way for Michigan with 14
points, and Zavier Simpson and Muhammad-Ali
Abdur-Rahkman each
added 11.
The Wolverines (7-3,
1-1 Big Ten) shot a dismal 17.2 percent in the
second half, after hitting
56.7 percent in the ﬁrst.

“As good as we were
in the ﬁrst 18 minutes of
the ﬁrst half, we were just
equally as bad in the second half,” Michigan coach
John Beilein said. “We
couldn’t make a basket
or couldn’t really make a
bright play in that time.”
Michigan led 43-30
at the half with six different players hitting a
3-pointer, and Wagner
hitting 2 of 3 attempts.
Michigan led by as many
as 20 in the half, but the
7-0 run — capped by a
monster dunk by JaeSean
Tate — pulled it closer.
The Buckeyes took over
after that.

Indiana by 14 on Saturday, the Wolverines shot
poorly in the second half
and lost a big lead.
“We couldn’t score and
we couldn’t stop them,”
Beilein said. “We could
have had this win today.
We just did not play well
in the second half.”
Ohio State: The Buckeyes switched up some
defensive looks at halftime, came on strong and
roared back to ﬂatten
their rival.
“For us to be able to
defend them like we did
in the second half was
terriﬁc,” Ohio State coach
Chris Holtmann said.

Value City Arena was as
loud as he’s heard in his
previous three seasons
in Columbus.
Holtmann, the Buckeyes’ ﬁrst year coach,
got a taste of the Ohio
State-Michigan rivalry.
The crowd energy in the
second half was exciting,
he said.
“I’m sure who we
played had something to
do with it,” Holtmann
said. “I’m sure us getting
down 20 had something
to do with it.”
Tip-ins
Ohio State played its
sixth game in 12 days.

straight game for the
Buckeyes, with Jackson
coming in off the bench.
… The Wolverines are
in a stretch where they
play North Carolina,
Indiana, Ohio State,
UCLA and Texas in ﬁve
straight games. … Ohio
State led in the game
for only 8:05, compared
to 28:20 for Michigan.
… Duncan Robinson
fouled out for Michigan
just before the end of
the game. He ﬁnished
with three points. … The
Buckeyes were 0 for 6
from 3-point range during their comeback in
the second half, after a
5-for-8 effort in the ﬁrst
frame.

Wade, Love, James
lead surging Cavaliers
over Bulls 113-91
CHICAGO (AP) — LeBron James could sense
the Cleveland Cavaliers were starting to click
the last time they lost. But a streak like this? He
wasn’t about to say he saw that coming.
Dwyane Wade and Kevin Love each scored 24
points, James had 23 and the Cleveland Cavaliers
beat the Chicago Bulls 113-91 Monday night for
their 12th straight win.
Backed by a trio of stars, the Cavaliers matched
their longest winning streak since the 2014-15
season. They dropped a tight game at Houston on
Nov. 9 and haven’t lost since. The streak started
with wins at Dallas, New York and Charlotte.
“I’m not Nostradamus so I did not see the
streak,” James said. “But in the Houston game, I’d
seen the way we played in that game. And I’d seen
that if we could build off that game, then we can
kind of turn the things around. That was a great
road trip for us.”
Wade made 9 of 13 shots in his ﬁrst game in
Chicago since agreeing to a buyout with his hometown team in late September. Love grabbed 13
rebounds and made 8 of 13 from the ﬁeld.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — A full day of basketball
action is on tap for Saturday, with ﬁve games
scheduled to comprise the 12th Annual Newt
Oliver Coaches Classic at the University of Rio
Grande’s Newt Oliver Arena.
The event is named in honor of former Rio
Grande head coach Newt Oliver, who guided the
Bevo Francis-led Redmen to a 60-7 record from
1952-54, including a perfect 39-0 mark during the
1952-53 campaign.
Oliver passed away in October at the age of 93.
“One of things we wanted to do with this event
was to honor some outstanding coaches and teams
in our area but, moreso, to promote the game of
basketball — because that’s what Newt did,” said
Rio Grande head coach Ken French. “He was a
master, one of the best in the history of college
basketball, when it came to promoting the game.
The Classic is a great way for us to promote the
game and, at the same time, pay respect to coach
Oliver and his legacy.”
The day gets started at noon when the Rio
Grande women’s team — led by Rio Grande alum
David Smalley — battles Wilberforce University,
with a boys’ high school contest between South
Webster High School and South Point High
School slated to follow at 2 p.m.
At 4 p.m., the Rio Grande men’s team squares
off with Marian (IN) University before two more
boys’ prep games — Oak Hill vs. Point Pleasant
and Meigs vs. Ironton — close out the day at 6
p.m. and 7:45 p.m., respectively.
Oak Hill is coached by Rio alum Norm Persin
and Ironton is guided by Rio alum Mark LaFon.
The Rio Grande women sport a 10-1 record and
an eight-game winning streak following a 72-53
win at home over River States Conference foe Carlow University on Saturday afternoon.
Part of the RedStorm’s current winning streak
is an 84-72 win over Wilberforce in the women’s
division championship of the Bevo Francis Tournament on Nov. 18.
For the Bulldogs (6-5), Saturday’s game will be
the last of a nine-game road swing which began on
Nov. 14. WU was scheduled to play at Roosevelt
(IL) Univeristy on Monday night and at Bethel
(TN) College on Thursday before its rematch with
Rio.
On the men’s side, Rio Grande (3-8) will be
looking for its second straight win and a third victory in its last four outings. The RedStorm cruised
to a 98-66 win over River States Conference rival
Carlow University last Saturday.
Marian, a member of the NAIA Division II
Crossroads League, takes an 8-3 record into its
game at 4th-ranked Indiana Wesleyan University
Tuesday night.
