The incident happened around 2:24 a.m. on Tuesday and by shortly after 9:30 a.m., officers with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department were preparing to question two of the three suspects in the case. M. Smith As of Tuesday afternoon, the two people arrested in the incident were Kelsey Smith, 19 and Mason Smith, 20, both are siblings and are from Leon. Brother and sister were charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny. They were arraigned in Mason County K. Smith Magistrate Court, both having their bonds set at $100,000 each. Again, a third suspect is at large though deputies were actively pursuing leads at press time. According to Sheriff Greg Powers and personnel at the sheriff’s department, surveillance video taken at the Exxon store shows a 1991 Dodge sedan circling the parking lot and then ramming the front doors, shattering the glass. The video shows two suspects entering the store, dragging and literally pushing out the heavy ATM machine. A third person can be seen in the car and then standing outside the vehicle as the ATM is shoved out the door. After law enforcement arrived on the scene, those associated with the store began posting video of the incident on social media sites, asking for information. Through these postings, a local mechanic recognized the Dodge, telling the sheriff’s department he thought he’d recently put an inspection sticker on the vehicle.

GALLIPOLIS — Construction on the Holzer Heritage Foundation Wellness Center kicked off mid-December as foundation members anticipate the facility’s building to open its doors to the public in the summer of 2016. The center will be located at 735 Second Avenue in Gallipolis and will make use of combined integrated programs for healthcare services including cardiac rehabilitation, physical therapy, health risk assessments, supervised fitness programs, occupational health and other aspects of Holzer Health System services. “Our dream of a state- of-the-art wellness facility will become a reality sooner than originally planned,” said Linda Jefferson, a manager with the Holzer Heritage Foundation. “Contractors are working onsite removing old equipment and installing a new roof on the two older sections of the building. The project will be put out to bid for main construction by the first of the year.” The old site of the future and anticipated wellness center once belonged to Johnson’s Supermarket. The property was donated to the foundation by Ohio Valley Supermarkets, known to operate local Foodland stores, several years ago.

Marco Rubio, R-Fla. pauses as he takes a question from the audience while speaking at Rastrelli’s Tuscany Special Events Center in Clinton, Iowa, on Tuesday. The Florida senator kicked off an Iowa tour Tuesday as a super political action committee backing Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stepped up attacks on Rubio for his attendance record in the Senate. Amid attacks, Rubio focuses on Iowa By Catherine Lucey Associated Press CLINTON, Iowa — Amid new criticisms about his Senate attendance record, Marco Rubio says some of his rival candidates are getting “a little desperate and a little nasty.” The Florida senator kicked off an Iowa tour Tuesday, as a super political action committee backing Jeb Bush announced a new ad in the state accusing Rubio of missing a Senate meeting after the November terrorist attacks in Paris. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also piled on during an Iowa stop, questioning Rubio’s Senate attendance. After a town hall meeting in the leadoff caucus state, Rubio said the ad from Right to Rise “isn’t accurate,” adding that as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee he attended a different briefing on the Paris attacks. Asked about Christie’s comments, he said the governor had been away from New Jersey “half the time.” “Candidates I think as we get down the stretch here some of them get a little desperate and a little nasty in their attacks,” Rubio said. Rivals have tried to make an issue of Rubio’s attendance in the Senate. In 2015, he has missed about 35 percent of roll call votes, according to GovTrack.us. That’s more than any of the other senators running for president. But several Iowa attendees said they were not troubled by Rubio’s Senate record. “He’s out here trying to get the popular vote of the people,” said Mary Reed, 65, of Bellevue, Iowa, who is considering supporting Rubio “Missing a few votes does not bother me. Before over 125 people in Clinton, Iowa, Rubio — who was joined by his family and Rep. Trey Gowdy, of South Carolina — kept his remarks focused on President Barack Obama and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, rather than his Republican counterparts. “I have lived many of the things that people face,” Rubio said. “I want to know how Hillary Clinton is going to lecture me about people living paycheck to paycheck. I grew up paycheck to paycheck.” Rubio stressed his support for securing the borders, investing in the military and repealing the Affordable Care Act. He also said he would back a convention of the states to amend the U.S. Constitution, to pass amendments dealing with term limits and a balanced budget. Conservative groups have been pushing for such an event, which has never happened since the original convention in 1787. Rubio said he supported a convention limited to those two topics. Rare winter flood threatens homes, closes interstates By Jim Salter and Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press ST. LOUIS — A rare winter flood shut down portions of two interstates on Tuesday, threatened hundreds of homes and caused sewage to flow unfiltered into waterways. Torrential rains over the past several days pushed already swollen rivers and streams to virtually unheard-of heights in parts of Missouri and Illinois. Record flooding was projected at some Mississippi River towns, and the Meramec River near St. Louis was expected to get to more than 3 feet above the previous record by late this week. At least 18 deaths in Missouri and Illinois are blamed on flooding, mostly involving vehicles that drove onto swamped roadways. The river on Tuesday spilled over the top of the levee at West Alton, Missouri, about 20 miles north of St. Louis. Mayor William Richter ordered any of the town’s approximate 520 residents who had not already evacuated to get out of harm’s way. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon activated the National Guard to assist with security in evacuated areas and to help divert traffic at road closure sites.

The threatened areas include Perry and Ste. Genevieve counties in Missouri, and Randolph County in Illinois. The levee protecting the historic downtown of Ste. Genevieve is not believed to be threatened. In another eastern Missouri town, Union, water from the normally docile Bourbeuse River reached the roofs of a McDonald’s, QuikTrip and several other businesses. The river reached an all-time high Tuesday, nearly 20 feet above flood stage. Interstate 44 was closed near the central Missouri town of Rolla, and a section of Interstate 70 was shut down in southern Illinois. Hundreds of smaller roads and highways were also closed across the two states, and flood warnings were in effect. In St. Louis, more than 100 volunteers turned out in blustery, cold conditions to fill sandbags where a flooded waterway threatened hundreds of homes. The River Des Peres is a man-made storm sewer channel that flows through south St. Louis into the Mississippi River, a few miles south of the Anheuser-Busch brewery. The channel is deep enough that flooding isn’t a concern under normal conditions. But there is nothing normal about this December flood. The Mississippi River is expected to reach nearly 15 feet above flood stage on Thursday at St. Louis, which would be the secondworst flood on record, behind only the devastating 1993 flood.

The attacks under preparation “were the same style as those perpetrated in Paris Nov. 13,” in which 130 people were killed and hundreds injured by suicide bombers and gunmen equipped with Kalashnikov-style assault rifles, according to an internal document from Belgian state security services cited by RTBF French-language television. Those lethal actions were claimed by the Islamic State extremist group. The two suspects were arrested following searches Sunday and Monday in the Brussels area, the eastern Liege region and Flemish Brabant, the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. It did not disclose their names or further information about them. During the searches, no weapons or explosives were found, but military-type training uniforms, IS propaganda material and computer equipment were impounded and are being examined, the prosecutor’s office said. It said the case was unrelated to the brazen and bloody extremist actions in Paris a month and a half ago but that the investigation, which is still ongoing, has revealed a “threat of serious attacks that would target several emblematic places in Brussels and be committed during the end-ofyear holidays.” The prosecutor’s office gave no more details about the intended targets, but an official close to the investigation told The Associated Press that they included the Belgian capital’s cobblestoned main square, thronged between Christmas and New Year’s with shoppers and strollers, as well as a police headquarters in an adjacent street. “On the Grand Place, there are a lot of people, as well as soldiers Garden nonprofit this year. The name of the website for the foundation is whynotacure.com. “‘Why Not a Cure’ came from something George Bernard Shaw once said,” Duane said. “‘You see things and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?’” The Wolfe’s book is available for sale on the website, with all proceeds going towards the foundation, which will then give any proceeds from the book or donations on the website to hospitals completing primary peritoneal cancer research. “I wanted to do something to save people’s lives so that it wouldn’t happen to somebody else,” Duane said. The board for the foundation currently includes Chris Tenoglia, president, Doug Hunter, vice president, Ronnie Wagner, treasurer and Terri Keiser, secretary. Duane, along with being a founder, is also a board member, but holds no title beyond that, and said he trusts those who do. “They’re all really good, honest people,” he said. “We share the dream of saving people’s lives. We’re simply paying it forward; life is very precious, human life is very precious, and we want to see people live. Whether (the cancer is) found in first, second or third stage, we want to see them live and not die before their time.” but Belgian media reported that police officers in the six police zones of Brussels will no longer be allowed to leave their stations alone or without their firearm, and that police stations in most neighborhoods will shut their doors at 8 p.m. instead of remaining open around the clock. In January, Belgian anti-terrorism units broke up what they said was an imminent attack on police by raiding a house in the eastern city of Verviers, killing two suspected jihadis and arresting a third. Their main quarry, however, was not there: Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who went on to become the suspected ringleader of the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris. The prosecutor’s office said one of the suspects arrested this week was charged with acting as the leader and recruiter of a terrorist group planning to commit terrorist offenses, the other with participating in a terrorist group’s activities as a principal actor or co-actor. The official close to the investigation said both of the suspects arrested were male.

Police and army patrols were greatly beefed up in Brussels following the Paris attacks, and Ramacker said a new official threat assessment conducted Monday after the searches and arrests, concluded officers and troops deployed to protect Brussels have become targets of choice themselves. “And so we prefer to remind them of certain safety guidelines, so that they reinforce their own security and all goes well,” Ramacker said in an interview at Crisis Center headquarters.

President Obama just signed legislation that will delay implementation of the Affordable Care Act’s “Cadillac” tax, which will sock generous employer-sponsored health plans with a new 40 percent levy in 2020, rather than 2018 as originally planned. But policymakers shouldn’t be satisfied with a delay. They should nix the tax altogether, as it’s poised to increase the healthcare bills of not just Cadillac-driving executives but the Chevy-driving middle class, too. The Cadillac tax was intended to discourage companies from offering overly expensive coverage. The idea was that rich plans disproportionately benefit higher-wage earners and don’t encourage covered individuals to use cost-effective healthcare services. The ACA assesses a 40 percent tax on the value of any employersponsored plan in excess of $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for a family plan. But the tax’s poor design makes it a clunker. First, the tax targets all high-cost plans equally and doesn’t account for geography or employee demographics. So expensive health plans with modest benefits could be subject to the tax if a company has an older workforce or is located in a high-cost state. Second, the formula for calculating the tax includes contributions from employers, employees, and even taxadvantaged Health Savings Accounts. So plans could hit the Cadillac tax thresholds quickly. Further, since the tax is indexed to general inflation — not healthcare costs — more people will be subject to it as health costs rise. Healthcare spending is increasing at an annual rate of almost 6 percent — three times the general inflation rate. Had the Cadillac tax taken effect in 2018 as originally planned, it would have hit about half of all health plans right off the bat. The tax will fall on not only bankers and CEOs but teachers, firefighters, and union laborers, too. It will also affect mom-and-pop businesses, which already pay 18 percent more for employee health insurance. In response, firms have already started redesigning their health plans to avoid triggering the tax — in ways workers are sure to dislike. To start, more workers are finding themselves paying for doctors and hospitals long before their policy even kicks in, thanks to larger deductibles, bigger co-pays, and higher out-of-pocket maximums. One recent survey of over 3,000 employers found that 42 percent were planning to increase deductibles for workers from their current average of $3,000 for family plans and $1,200 for individuals. Employers are already making drastic changes to avoid the Cadillac tax, even though it’s still years away. So employees are getting less for their share of health plan costs — in the form of narrower provider networks and pared-back benefits. Xerox and UPS have already reduced eligibility for spouses. The University of Virginia has separated dental benefits from its health plans. Still other employers may limit contributions to Health Savings Accounts. Delaying the Cadillac tax is not enough. It shouldn’t be allowed to even cross the start line. The tax will only drive healthcare costs higher and hurt middle-class workers. Republicans and Democrats alike need to take this Caddy to the junkyard. Janet Trautwein is CEO of the National Association of Health Underwriters. THEIR VIEW Is the Republican party dying off? By Robert Romano Contributing Columnist In 2004, Republican popular vote totals for president peaked — at 62,040,610 votes for George W. Bush. They have been down ever since. 59,948,323 votes were cast for John McCain in 2008. And 60,933,500 votes were cast for Mitt Romney in 2012. Meaning, in the past decade, Republicans have proven unable to expand their voting coalition. While many analyses will often focus on candidate selection or issue selection by the party, offering a range reasons, usually ideological but also applying to the candidates of themselves, of being too moderate or too conservative. But what if there is a different reason, a more obvious truth for the shrinking Republican electorate? Perhaps the reason fewer people are voting Republican is simply because there are fewer Republicans who are still alive. The Greatest Generation, which weathered the Great Depression and then fought and won World War II, is all but gone. In 2004, there were still more than 4 million surviving World War II veterans, according to the National World War II Museum. By 2012, that number had shrunk to little more than a million. By 2016, it will be far less than a million. If you include their spouses at roughly the same count, bringing the total to about 8 or 9 million, that means in the past 2 election cycles, more than 6 million have died. By 2016, nearly all of them will have died. According to research by Gallup, what was left of the Greatest Generation was roughly split politically and ideologically as recently as 2013 — 47 percent Republican or lean-Republican versus 46 percent Democrat or leanDemocrat. There, the death rate would have hurt each party roughly equally. As for the Silent Generation — those born in between the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers — it is 50 percent to 43 percent in favor of Republicans, including leaners. As that generation now dies off, it will disproportionately hurt Republicans. In the meantime, their replacements in the voting age population at the younger end of the spectrum, have unquestionably skewed Democrat. Millennials, those born between 1980 and 1996, register 53 percent are Democrat or lean-Democrat compared to 35 percent who are Republican or lean-Republican. As for Baby Boomers, they are roughly split, 46 percent to 44 percent in favor of Democrats, including leaners. Meaning, quite literally, the Republican Party is dying off, and unless something changes rather quickly, the GOP may never have as many votes as it does right now. That is the stage, and at least explains what has taken place in 2008 and 2012. But what looks like perhaps an insurmountable demographic decline could actually represent an enormous opportunity in disguise for the GOP. The three keys will undoubtedly be: 1) Maximizing turnout of the remaining Silent Generation by emphasizing that 2016 is their last stand; 2) Skewing Baby Boomers towards Republican as they now retire and worry about the future they are leaving their children; and 3) Somewhat neutralizing the advantage among Millennials as they enter their full-time careers and whose concerns are now shifting away from social issues to economic concerns. Add to that an overarching emphasis on security issues in the wake of Paris and San Bernardino, including high anxiety over immigration and terrorism, as well as economic issues including immigration, trade, globalization, and jobs. Voters, particularly Republican voters, see a nation in decline. Suddenly, then, it is easy to see why the two current Republican frontrunners, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, have excelled. Both have taken a hard THEIR VIEW TODAY IN HISTORY... Rural America gets a lump of coal Today is Wednesday, Dec. 30, the 364th day of 2015. There is one day left in the year.

Actress-comedian Tracey By Traci Bruckner tracib@cfra.org On Dec. 17, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued their final rule defining what it means to be actively engaged in farming, and thereby eligible to receive federal farm payments. The final rule serves only to ensure access to unlimited farm program payments for the vast majority of the nation’s largest and wealthiest farms, and writes loopholes directly into regulation. USDA is more interested in allowing the nation’s largest farms to avoid meaningful payment limits than in making farm payment limits more effective - the intended purpose of a new rule. USDA stated that the 2014 Farm Bill prohibits them from applying any new rule to farms structured solely of family members. We disagree. In fact, if USDA had interpreted the 2014 Farm Bill language correctly, they would have crafted a rule requiring that for farms structured solely of family members, those family members qualify for farm payments only if they provide labor - meaning they actually work on the farm. The new rule affects less than 4% of farm operations. It leaves the loophole door wide open for the other 96%. USDA has issued an invitation to farm reorganizations undertaken to maximize subsidies beyond the payment limit. Even for those farms who choose to keep their business structures organized as part of the 4%, the new rule provides for a limit over $1 million in subsidies per year for the largest farms. This is the antithesis of reform, or more aptly for the season, a lump of coal. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues. line on immigration, and neither supported granting fast track trade authority Barack Obama. What you find is a Republican electorate that is receptive to a working class populist message that is also tough on security that has confounded the political establishment. Now, how will that message reflect back into the general election remains to be seen. But some signals could be coming from Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who just last month was mocking Republican concerns over Syrian refugees but now, in the wake of San Bernardino, is praising efforts in Congress to increase FBI scrutiny of the refugees coming from the Syria and Iraq war. “The United States has to take a close look at our visa programs, and I am glad this administration and Congress are stepping up scrutiny in the wake of San Bernardino,” Clinton told a crowd of her supporters at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis on Dec. 15. What polls is Clinton looking at to suggest she needs to triangulate on immigration and visas — before the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary have even begun? It is notable that Clinton is watching her right flank. That might mean events are reshaping the political landscape faster than politicians can respond. Meaning there could in-roads for Republicans to not only political independents, where the usual battle for the middle occurs in the general election, but also to Democrats, who might be afraid their party cannot keep them safe. What is clear is that in order to succeed, Republicans need to replace their ranks by building on the base they have, and the current political earthquake on security might be what it takes to shake up the current electorate and put voters on the table nobody thought could be moved just two months ago.

The Hannan boys basketball team took it to the visiting Sherman Tide early on, but the Tide walked away with a 67-62 victory over the Wildcats on Monday night in Mason County. Hannan (2-4) fought hard throughout the contest, but Sherman held on late to seal the victory. After an opening basket from Sherman’s Caleb Duncan, the Wildcats went on a 9-0 run — led by five points from Isaiah Burgess — early in the first quarter. The Tide collected itself late in the period, but the Blue and White led 15-10 after the first quarter of play. The Hannan offense continued to shine with a three from Corey Hudnall early in the second quarter. Both teams continued to trade baskets, until Sherman took control of the contest with a 12-1 run — led by Bailey Kirk’s nine points — to end the first half. The Tide led 27-24 lead going into the break. Despite six turnovers, Sherman outrebounded the home team 20-to-6 in the first 16 minutes — with 13 rebounds coming in the second quarter. The Wildcats had more field goal successes, making 9-of-20 (45 percent). Sherman finished the first half shooting 10-of-29 (34 percent). Duncan gave Sherman its first points of the second half with a three-pointer. Chase Nelson netted a lay-up for the Blue and White at the 6:27 mark for Hannan’s first points of the quarter. Tyler Pettry led Sherman on a 7-0 run late in the period. Dalton Coleman’s four successful free throws late in the quarter kept Hannan in the game, but the visitors took a 46-38 into the finale. The Tide increased their lead in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter with a 7-1 run. Hannan fired back with a 8-2 run — led by four points from Burgess — in the middle of the period to regain some lost momentum for the home team. The Wildcats made up a bit of the deficit from free throw shooting down the stretch, but Kirk’s 12 points in the quarter kept the Tide out in front. The Wildcats finished the game shooting 22-of-32 free throws (68 percent), while the Tide shot 23-of-47 from the field (48 percent). Sherman had a 34-14 rebound advantage over Hannan, but the Blue and White only had turnovers in the contest. Sherman turned the ball over nine times.

Eight of our 14 players are freshmen and they really work hard. I wish we would’ve won the game, but they’re working hard and I think we’ve got a bright future.” Burgess led the Wildcats with 22 points, followed by Coleman with 21 points. Hudnall finished with 13 points. Nelson had three points, while Ryan Gerlach and Malachi Cade had two points and one point respectively for Hannan. Kirk led the Tide with a game-high 28 points. Will Hensley followed with 11 points, while Pettry finished with nine points. Duncan net- Ware recovers fumble to seal victory DENVER (AP) — One errant shotgun snap sent the fortunes of the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals in different directions. AJ McCarron took his eyes off his center for a split-second to look at the coverage and both the snap and Cincinnati’s surest path to a first-round bye slipped away — along with a chance to earn the AFC’s top seed next week. DeMarcus Ware secured both the fumble and Denver’s ticket to the playoffs, clamping down on the loose football 6 minutes into overtime and sealing Denver’s 20-17 win Monday night. “It was my fault. I told the team that,” McCarron said. “I looked up to see the coverage and the snap caught me by surprise.” This was just the big play Ware’s been looking for ever since missing a month with a bad back. “Felt great to finish the game that way,” Ware said. “We thought we were going to finish it with the field goal but at the end of the game, it’s all about that win.” Ware’s recovery followed a 37-yard field goal by Brandon McManus, whose shanked 45-yarder at the end of regulation made necessary the extra drama. “I’m 24 years old and I don’t think I’ve ever kicked the ball like that in my life: grade school, elementary school or anything like that,” McManus said. “I just wrapped my toe around it and I knew I had to bounce back.” He did, and Ware’s follow-up capped Denver’s second comeback from a 14-0 deficit at home this season. The Broncos (11-4) also beat New England in overtime last month after spotting the Patriots a two-touchdown lead in the first half. Denver’s comeback denied the Bengals (11-4) their first road win on a Monday night in a quarter century. The Broncos now can secure the AFC’s top seed next week with a win over San Diego and a Patriots’ loss at Miami. “First off, getting into the playoffs in the National Football League is a hell of an accomplishment. It’s hard to do,” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. “Once you get there, it’s about how you play, not really where you play, but … we’ve got a great opportunity this weekend. “It’s going to be a very quick turnaround after a five-quarter football game. It’s going to be very tough on us physically. I’ve got to get them ready to go, but they understand that. They didn’t want a lot of atta-boy’s tonight. They’re ready to go to work next week. I could feel that already.” Other takeaways from the final Monday night game of the season: BANGED-UP BACKUPS: The battle of backup quarterbacks took its toll on Brock Osweiler and McCarron. Osweiler, making his sixth straight start in place of Peyton Manning (foot), came in with a sore left shoulder and left with a sore left elbow. McCarron, making his second consecutive start in place of Andy Dalton (thumb), injured his left wrist on the final scramble and had it wrapped afterward. “I was diving for the football and it just happened,” McCarron said, adding he wasn’t sure how bad it was hurt. “I don’t know. I’ll get it checked out tomorrow and we’ll see.” Osweiler hurt his elbow on one of Carlos Dunlap’s three sacks. “Coming into the game, I was a little bit banged up. Coming out of the game I’m a little bit banged up. But that’s football,” said Osweiler, who will get the start against the Chargers next week, too. BOGGED DOWN: After piling up 205 yards on their first three drives — including 170 on their first two possessions — the Bengals managed just 89 yards the rest of the way. “This one definitely hurts, when you feel like you have a lot of momentum and doing some good things out there and kind of spit out the bit in the second half,” running back Jeremy Hill said. “There’s a lot of things we wish we could’ve had back. But we’ll leave that out there on the field.” DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS: Both the Bengals and Broncos have that one ingredient teams covet in the playoffs: a stout defense. The Broncos yield the fewest yards in the league — they’re ranked No. 1 against both the run and the pass — and the Bengals allow the fewest points (263). This game marked only the third time two teams have met in December with those stats. ROAD WOES: Cincinnati fell to 3-17 on the road on Monday nights. Their last such win came at Cleveland during the 1990 season, which was also the last time the Bengals won a playoff game. They’ve never won a playoff game on the road in 13 tries. Their loss in Denver also prevented them from going 7-1 on the road, which would have been the team’s best mark in its 48-year history. REF’S ROUGH NIGHT: This wasn’t nearly as bad as Ed Hochuli’s blown call on Jay Cutler’s last-minute fumble against San Diego in 2008. But the buff referee had a tough night in Denver. He began by identifying the Broncos as the Bengals when Denver won the opening coin toss. He left his microphone on in the closing minutes of regulation like in a State Farm commercial and twice had to pick up flags thrown even though the Bengals had declared an extra lineman as an eligible receiver and it had been announced. ted seven points, followed by Jacob Maynor with six points. Blake Nelson had five points, while Chris Layton contributed one point for Sherman. The Wildcats will travel to Rose Hill Christian on Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.

Chapman became available after the Reds’ deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through during baseball’s winter meetings three weeks ago when it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban left-hander. Major League Baseball is currently investigating and Chapman could face suspension under the league’s new domestic violence policy. “We felt this was an opportunity to add a big arm to our bullpen, even though there are some things that are unresolved,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said in a conference call. “And we will respect that process as it plays out.” Cashman said the Yankees have had interest in Chapman for several years, but a deal only became affordable when the price for the reliever dropped after the report was made public. New York was able to protect its top minor leaguers in the deal, sending right-handers Caleb Cotham and Rookie Davis and infielders Eric Jagielo and Tony Renda to Cincinnati. Jagielo was New York’s No. 1 pick in 2013 (26th overall). The Yankees will have to wait to set up their enviable bullpen of Chapman, Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances until the investigation is done. MLB has indicated it will take as long as it needs to thoroughly vet the matter. The league is also investigating domestic violence incidents involving Colorado’s Jose Reyes and the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig. Davie, Florida, police said there was “insufficient evidence” to charge Chapman in the disturbance between the pitcher and his girlfriend at his South Florida home. The Davie Police Department report listed the Oct. 30 matter as closed. But after the report’s release earlier in the month, state prosecutors said they were examining the possibility of criminal charges. “Certainly there are some serious issues here that are in play,” Cashman said. “I acknowledge that’s an area clearly of concern and I think it certainly is reflective of some of the acquisition price and there’s risk, and I understand that.” NBA MVP Curry shoots way to AP Male Athlete of Year OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry’s greatness as a basketball player can be measured by his record-setting shooting numbers that are changing the game. His immense popularity derives from something less tangible. While many NBA greats rely on uncommon height and athletic ability that average fans can only dream of having, Curry’s game relies on the traits that every casual player can work on: shoot, dribble and pass. The difference is, perhaps nobody ever has put those three skills together the same way Curry has the past year as he has dominated on the court and made the once downtrodden Golden State Warriors the NBA’s mustwatch team. “The way that I play has a lot of skill but is stuff that if you go to the YMCA or rec leagues or church leagues around the country, everybody wants to shoot, everybody wants to handle the ball, make creative passes and stuff like that,” he said. “You can work on that stuff. Not everybody has the vertical, or the physical gifts to be able to go out and do a windmill dunk and stuff like that. I can’t even do it.” That’s about all Curry is unable to do on the basketball court. His amazing year, in which he won an MVP, led Golden State to its first title in 40 years and helped the Warriors get off to a recordsetting start this season, earned him The Associated Press 2015 Male Athlete of the Year. Curry finished first in a vote by U.S. editors and news directors, with the results released Saturday. He joined LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird as the only basketball players to win the honor in the 85 years of the award. Curry beat out golfer Jordan Spieth, who won two majors, and American Pharoah, who became the first horse since 1978 to win the Triple Crown. While American Pharoah got three more first-place votes than Curry’s 24, Curry appeared on 86 percent of the 82 ballots that ranked the top five candidates. More than one-third of the voters left American Pharoah off their list. “That’s a real honor,” Curry said. “I’m appreciative of that acknowledgement because it’s across all different sports. … It’s pretty cool.” Curry has become the face of the NBA this past year. His jersey is the best-seller in the league, his team’s games get record television ratings at home and in opposing markets and even his 3-year-old daughter Riley became a star by overshadowing her dad at playoff news conferences. Even his intricate warmup routine has become a show for fans who get out early or even sometimes on TV pregame shows. He does an elaborate two-ball dribbling routine, works on passes and shots with both hands, takes jump shots from just inside half court and then caps it with a long-range shot from the tunnel on the way back to the locker room. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, December 30, 2015 Help Wanted General Notices Houses For Sale NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.
