THEIR VIEW

Can Amazon
save American
healthcare?
The following was written by The Los Angeles Times
Editorial Board, Los Angeles Times:

Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett
is known as a “value” investor — someone who
buys into companies that are selling for less than
they’re really worth. When his company provides
its workers healthcare beneﬁts, however, Buffett
isn’t paying for value. Instead, employers like
Berkshire, which owns a diverse portfolio of ﬁnancial and industrial companies, are paying everhigher amounts for their workers’ policies and
getting less coverage in return.
That problem helped drive Berkshire Hathaway to announce plans Tuesday to join forces
with online retail giant Amazon and Wall Street
powerhouse JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. to create
an independent venture
that aims to reduce their With more than 1.2

than simply passing
more of the pain on to
their employees.
For a country that spends so much on health
— Milken Institute health care economist Hugh
Waters pegged it at $3.3 trillion in 2016, or
$10,348 per person — we’ve managed to do
surprisingly little about rising costs besides complain. Fears of rationing care keep federal and
state governments from responding aggressively
to higher drug and treatment costs, and a whole
host of factors have led millions of Americans to
fall into the trap of costly and preventable chronic
illnesses, such as diabetes.
With more than 1.2 million employees worldwide combined, Amazon, Berkshire and JPMorgan Chase have the kind of bargaining power
that could make a dent in what their workers are
spending on hospitals, prescription drugs and outpatient care. But let’s be realistic. Even employers
this large don’t have a lot of leverage over the sole
manufacturer of a blockbuster drug, or the only
obstetrician in a rural county, or the dominant
hospital chain in a region.
That’s why the other aspect of the companies’
effort — using technology to help employees
better manage and obtain care — may be more
promising. Because part of the solution is to
reduce the demand for care by helping Americans stay healthier, and to increase competition by helping people shop more intelligently
for healthcare services. The latter is extremely
hard today, given the complexity and opacity in
healthcare pricing. If these companies struck a
blow for transparency in that area, we’d all be
better off.
Amazon already sells plenty of medical devices
and ﬁtness products, and it’s reportedly looking to
compete with local pharmacies for the retail sale
of prescription drugs. If this new effort helps Amazon’s more than 540,000 employees stay healthier
and ﬁnd high-quality, lower-priced services, it
could ultimately offer consumers something better than step trackers and Ace bandages. But we
won’t know until we see the answers the three
companies and their new venture eventually have
to offer.

THEIR VIEW

Can schools ban ‘best friends’?
One of the worst
things that happens to
adults is that they forget
what it’s like to be a kid.
They forget how frightening childhood can be,
and how nice it is when
you have a best friend,
how lonely it is when
you don’t.
This brings me to an
interesting debate over a
trend going on in schools
these days: The banning
of best friends, because
by deﬁnition “best
friend” is an exclusionary business.
It involves educators
and social engineers on
the left and conservatives on the right, and
all have much to say.
And all of them have
one thing in common:
They’re adults.
Kids know how to
deal with adults. They
walk in the land of the
giants. Some learn to
trick adults and tell them
what they want to hear.
At least the emotionally
smart kids learn quickly.
They learn the appropriate prompts, the
reassurances, the tricks
of language and facial
expressions to give just
enough but not too
much.
“You OK?” says dad.
“I’m OK,” says kid.
“Good,” says dad.
“OK.”
Yet all too often, and
I include myself in this,
we hear what we want
to hear and see what we
want to see. Adults are

Marauders hold off Point, 61-58
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio
— The Marauders seem
to be picking up steam.
The Meigs boys basketball team claimed its
ﬁfth win in its last seven
chances on Tuesday
evening in Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, defeating non-conference guest
Point Pleasant by a 61-58
ﬁnal.
The Marauders (5-11)
never trailed in the ﬁrst
half, hitting a trio of
three-pointers in the
ﬁrst four minutes and
leading by a 9-4 count.
Meigs outscored Point
Pleasant (1-12) by a 10-4
count over the next four
minutes and headed into
the second quarter with a

second quarter, as the
Marauder lead grew to a
game-high 16 points, at
24-8. Meigs only hit one
more ﬁeld goal in the ﬁrst
half, however, as Point
Pleasant trimmed the deficit to 30-25 by halftime.
The Maroon and Gold
began the second half
with a 6-to-2 run and led
by nine points, at 36-27,
with 6:00 left in the third
quarter. Sparked by four
three-pointers, Point
Pleasant ended the third
with a 13-to-10 spurt and
headed into the ﬁnale
trailing 46-40.

and also forced a dozen
turnovers in the ﬁrst half.
Afterwards, SGHS
coach Kent Wolfe
acknowledged that his
troops have made real
strides in the last month
— but Tuesday night’s
effort also resulted in a
post-game smile that the
ﬁrst-year mentor didn’t
try to hide.
“We’ve been playing
pretty decent over the last
few weeks, but tonight
was probably the best 32
minutes that we’ve put
together this year … and
it all started with our
defense,” Wolfe said. “We
did a good job of neutralizing their inside guys
and I thought our seven
guys played their tails off.
I couldn’t have asked for
any better of an effort.”
EHS coach Jeremy
Hill looked a little shellshocked following the
game, but he was also
impressed with the Rebels’ performance in the
rematch. As the ﬁfth-year
mentor noted, his troops
just ran into a buzz-saw.
“All the credit goes to
South Gallia and to Coach
Wolfe tonight. Those
kids wanted it more, they
played hard and they
came up with all of the
hustle plays,” Hill said.
“They shot the ball way
better than they did the
ﬁrst time and they showed
just how much they’ve
grown as a group since
that ﬁrst game.
“We just did not do a
lot of things right tonight.
I don’t feel that we have
regressed as much as I
think that South Gallia
has just gotten a lot better.
They were deﬁnitely a lot
better than us tonight.”
Both teams started
strong after each hit their
ﬁrst three shot attempts,
but the timing of turnovers also dictated the
early ﬂow of the lead
change.
The Rebels opened up
an early 4-0 edge, but the
Eagles countered with six
straight points for their
only lead of the game with
5:04 remaining. Eastern
missed its ﬁnal ﬁve shot
attempts of the ﬁrst
quarter and SGHS tied
the game at six just 30
seconds later on a Curtis
Haner basket — which
started the 13-0 charge.
Austin Stapleton gave
SGHS a permanent lead
with a trifecta at the 3:58
mark, the ﬁrst of eight
straight points by Stapleton over the next two
minutes. Haner added a
three-pointer at the 1:29
mark to complete the run
for an 11-point cushion
after eight minutes of
play.

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — The visitors hit
a plethora of trifectas
in the opening minutes,
setting the tone for
another unfavorable
result for the Lady
Knights.
The Poca girls basketball team hit seven
three-point ﬁeld goals in
the ﬁrst period against
non-conference host
Point Pleasant on Tuesday night en route to a
57-36 win.
PPHS (1-14) was
held without a ﬁeld goal
until Peyton Campbell’s
three-pointer with 36
seconds remaining in
the ﬁrst quarter ended a
22-0 run by the visitors.
As a result, the Lady
Dots (8-10) closed out
the game’s initial eight
minutes with a 25-3
advantage.
The Red and Black
made 1-of-10 ﬁeld goal
attempts and committed
13 turnovers in the ﬁrst
period. PHS countered
with a 8-of-15 performance from the ﬁeld,
including 7-of-9 from
three-point range for 78
percent.
The Lady Knights
scored ﬁve points in
the second quarter,
as the Lady Dots held
a 24-point advantage
by intermission. Poca
entered the locker room
with a 32-8 lead having
held the hosts to just
three ﬁeld goals.
In the third period,
both teams improved
their offensive production, but Point Pleasant

frame.
The Lady Knights
shot 6-of-14 for 43
percent from the ﬁeld,

percent from three-point
range in the third quarter. PPHS junior Peyton
Campbell scored 10 of
her game-high 20 points
in the third frame, but
the Lady Dots 18-16 run
over that same span provided them with a 50-24
advantage.
Poca closed out the
ﬁnal eight minutes of

outcome.

made some adjustments
that threw us off. We got
the ball inside early and
took advantage of that.
Of course, being the good
coach that he is, he took
that away from us. That
opened it up for us to get
some clean looks. Once
we got some momentum
and saw a few go down,
I felt like the kids started
feeding off that.
“Our bench was great
tonight about encouraging the players that were
out there,” Williams
added. “I’m very proud of
our kids, I thought they
played hard and played
together. It was probably
one of the more complete
game we played, besides
the turnovers.”
The Big Blacks committed 19 turnovers in the
game, nine more than the
Marauders. PPHS won
the rebounding battle by
a 28-to-20 count, including 13-to-8 on the offensive end. Point Pleasant
recorded the game’s only
two blocked shots and
held a 17-to-12 assists

advantage, while Meigs
claimed a 14-to-7 edge in
steals.
This marks Meigs’ ﬁrst
win on its home ﬂoor this
season, ending a fourgame home skid.
“We’re young and we
like to play on the road,
and I honestly think
they get a little tensed
up here at home,” Fry
said. “Point Pleasant, as
long as you can shoot the
way they can shoot, you
should always be in the
game. They’ve had a lot
of similar things happen
with injuries and other
things like we have, so
I thought it might be
pretty close coming into
this thing.”
Baer hit a pair of
three-pointers and ﬁnished with a game-high
28 points, a dozen of
which came from the free
throw line. Bartrum was
a perfect 8-of-8 from the
line and ﬁnished with
17 points, to go with a
team-best seven assists.
Baer and Bartrum tied
for a team-high with ﬁve

Baer leading the MHS
defense with six steals.
Bobby Musser and
Wyatt Hoover both scored
six points for the victors,
while Nick Lilly came up
with four points.
Long led the Big Blacks
with 18 points, coming
on six three-pointers,
while Kade Oliver came
in with 15 points. PPHS
senior Trace Derenberger
— who led the PPHS
defense with two steals
and a block — had a double-double of 12 points
and 15 rebounds, to go
with a game-high eight
assists.
Hunter Bush scored
nine for the guests, while
Kyle Martin added four.
“We’ve been shooting
the ball a lot in practice
and it seemed like tonight
it ﬁnally started to pay off
a little bit,” Williams said.
“We just have to work on
taking care of the ball. I
think they saw that getting the ball inside really
helps them outside in the
long run. I think that’ll be

the rest of the way, giving
SGHS a 15-point lead at
the intermission.
The Rebels made a

a 47-30 edge, then ended

outcome.
EHS did claim a 10-7
advantage on the offensive
boards, but also committed 19 turnovers in the

IRONTON, Ohio — The Blue and Gold simply
couldn’t get out of an early hole.
The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team
dropped a 63-36 decision to host Ironton St.

second period, with ISJ edging past OVCS 11-9 to
extend its lead to 38-14 at intermission.
The Blue and Gold claimed a 13-12 edge in the
third frame, but the hosts held a ﬁrm 50-27 advantage headed into the ﬁnale.
The Flyers closed out the last eight minutes of
the contest on a 13-9 run to secure a 27-point win.

minutes of the second
half, but had to withstand
a furious Rio rally before
posting an eventual 96-82
win in non-conference
men’s basketball action at
Waller Gymnasium.
Shawnee State, which
ﬁnished off a regular
season sweep of the RedStorm, improved to 12-11
with a second straight
victory.
Rio Grande slipped
to 9-16 with a fourth
straight loss.
The RedStorm found
themselves locked in
a 32-all deadlock with
the Bears following a
jumper by senior Will Hill
(Worthington, OH) with
4:24 left in the ﬁrst half,
but Shawnee scored eight
of the ﬁnal 10 points in
the stanza to grab a 42-34
lead at the intermission.
The Bears then scored
12 of the ﬁrst 14 points
in the second half to take
a commanding 54-36
advantage after a threepointer by EJ Onu with
16:20 left in the game.
SSU continued to pull
away and grabbed its
largest lead of the night,
76-55, after a pair of free
throws by Jayllen Carter
with 7:24 remaining, setting the stage for the Rio
rally.
The RedStorm sliced
the deﬁcit to 82-75 with
1:53 left to play after a
pair of free throws by
Hill and - after a timeout
- came up with a steal
on Shawnee’s ensuing
inbounds play, but a layup
attempt by senior Devon
Price (Pickerington, OH)
which could’ve brought
Rio within ﬁve was off
the mark.
The Bears rebounded
Price’s miss and scored
on the other end to push
the lead back to nine with
1:31 remaining and Rio
got no closer than eight
points the rest of the way.
The RedStorm ﬁnished
with three more overall
ﬁeld goals (30-27) and
one more three-point goal
(8-7) than SSU, but was
overwhelmed at the free
throw line.

Rio ﬁnished 14-for-19 at
the charity stripe, while
the Bears were a whopping 35-for-43 at the line.
The two teams were
whistled for 53 combined
fouls, including ﬁve technical fouls. Rio sophomore Stanley Christian
(Norfolk, VA) and Carter
received two technicals
each, meaning that both
will be suspended for
each of their team’s next
game.
The night also included
a pair of incidents involving spectators, resulting
in the ejection of two
Shawnee State fans.
Hill led Rio Grande
with a game-high 32
points and four steals,
while Price had 12 points
to go along with a teamhigh six rebounds and a
game-best four assists.
Senior Kenny Council
(Jacksonville, FL) also
had 10 points in a losing
cause for the RedStorm.
Carter had 14 of his
team-high 18 points for
the Bears in the second
half and ﬁnished 10-for-11
at the free throw line.
Rio Grande transfer
Matt Rhodes led four
other Shawnee players
in double ﬁgures with 17
points, while Onu had 14
points, Frederick Moore
netted 11 points and
Tamal Watkins tossed in
10 points.
Moore also had a gamehigh eight rebounds for
the Bears, while Watkins
had four assists and four
steals.
Shawnee shot 56 percent from the ﬂoor in the
second half (14-for-25)
and ﬁnished at 51.9 percent (27-for-52) for the
game.
The contest featured
seven ties and 10 lead
changes.

GLOUSTER, Ohio — It’s tough
to compete with shooting like that.
The Trimble boys basketball
team shot over 53 percent from
the ﬁeld on Tuesday night at Bill
White Gymnasium, as the Tomcats
kept pace at the top of the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division
with a 54-37 victory over visiting
Wahama.
The White Falcons (3-12, 2-8
TVC Hocking) trailed by just six
points, at 16-10, after one quarter
of play, but Trimble (10-4, 8-2)
went on a 23-to-8 run in the second quarter and enjoyed a 39-18
halftime lead.
The WHS defense held the Tomcats to just four points in the third
quarter, as the guests cut the deﬁcit to 43-26 headed into he ﬁnale.

Hernandez,
Reds agree to
$5M, 2-year deal
CINCINNATI (AP)
— Despite pitching in
the playoffs last season,
reliever David Hernandez worried that he
would wind up having
to settle for another
minor league contract
and an invitation to
some team’s big league
training camp next
month. The Cincinnati
Reds surprised him by
offering a $5 million,
two-year deal.
“It all kind of happened quickly, which is
weird,” Hernandez said
Tuesday after the deal
was announced.
The 32-year-old
right-hander will make
$2.5 million annually
and can earn another
$1 million each year in
performance bonuses.
The Reds expect him to
move into a set-up role
for closer Raisel Iglesias, upgrading a bullpen that was their main
offseason priority.
Hernandez had a 3.11
ERA in 64 appearances
for the Los Angeles
Angels and Arizona last
season and made two
scoreless relief appearances against the Los
Angeles Dodgers in the
NL Division Series.
He also has pitched for
Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Cincinnati’s bullpen
had the most walks
and hit batters in the
major leagues and it
led the NL in runs. The
bullpen’s 4.65 ERA was
second-worst in the NL.
The Reds agreed in
December to a $4.5 million, two-year contract
with 32-year-old reliever
Jared Hughes, who
pitched for the Brewers last season. Iglesias

returns as the closer
after converting 28 of
30 save opportunities
last season.
“I feel I’ve got an
opportunity to pitch
late in the game and
hopefully lock down
some big outs,” Hernandez said on a conference call.
He is much farther
ahead than a year ago.
Hernandez went to
spring training with
the San Francisco
Giants last year with a
minor league contract
on March 24. Atlanta
signed him to a minor
league deal and traded
him to the Angels. He
made his big league
season debut on April
24, was dealt to Arizona
on July 31 and became
a free agent after the
season.
Until the Reds made
their offer, Hernandez
thought he’d have to
accept another nonroster invitation to
camp with some team
in February.
“I started to get a
little frustrated,” he
said. “You kind of think
you’re going to have
to go the route you
did the previous year.
I kind of just waited
and waited and waited
some more.”
General manager
Dick Williams said Hernandez’s signing will
likely be the Reds’ last
signiﬁcant free-agent
addition this offseason.
They might sign players
to minor league deals
to ﬁll out the bench and
provide depth following
the departure of shortstop Zack Cozart, who
became a free agent and
joined the Angels.

COAL GROVE, Ohio — They

Tuesday night, the Blue Devils
were stung by a bee.
The Gallia Academy boys basketball team had its nine-game

a season split with a 60-41 decision in an Ohio Valley Conference
matchup in Lawrence County.
The visiting Blue Devils (14-2,

and Black jumped out to an early
10-6 edge and eventually never
looked back.
Cory Call kept GAHS in the
game early on by scoring six of his
10 ﬁrst half points in that opening
frame. Zach Loveday also added
a bucket in the second canto as

the Blue and White were against

halftime deﬁcit.
Justin McClelland joined both
Call and Loveday with four points
apiece in the third stanza as both
team traded a dozen points apiece,
making it a 32-24 contest headed
into the ﬁnale.
CGHS netted 11-of-16 free throw
attempts down the stretch as part
of a 28-17 fourth quarter surge that
ultimately allowed the hosts to
wrap up the 19-point outcome.
Coal Grove pulled even with Gallia Academy in the season series
after dropping a 59-37 decision in
Centenary back on Jan. 5.
The Blue Devils made 17 total
ﬁeld goals — including two threepointers — and also went 5-of-8 at
the free throw line for 63 percent.
Call led the guests with a gamehigh 17 points, followed by Loveday with 12 points and McClelland
with seven markers. Bailey Walker

and Blaine Carter completed the

OSU takes control early, beats Indiana 71-56
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — After starting
slow at times this season,
No. 17 Ohio State didn’t
waste time jumping all
over Indiana on Tuesday
night.
Indiana’s Zach McRoberts hit two quick shots,
one of them a 3-pointer,
in the ﬁrst 1:14 to put
the Hoosiers up by one,
but Ohio State reeled
off a 10-0 run and didn’t
relinquish the lead again
in a 71-56 victory for the
Buckeyes.
“I think they set the
tone early with their
physicality on both ends
of the ﬂoor and knocked
us on our heels pretty
quick,” Indiana coach
Archie Miller said. “And
we were working uphill
from there most of the
night.”
