Pay to rise for millions
as 19 states increase
minimum wage
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)
— It will be a happy
New Year indeed for
millions of the lowestpaid U.S. workers. Nineteen states, including
New York and California, will ring in the year
with an increase in the
minimum wage.
Massachusetts and
Washington state will
have the highest new
minimum wages in
the country, at $11 per
hour.
California will raise
its wage to $10.50 for
businesses with 26 or
more employees. New
York state is taking
a regional approach,
with the wage rising to
$11 in New York City,
to $10.50 for small
businesses in the city,
$10 in its downstate
suburbs and $9.70 elsewhere. Some specific
businesses — fast-food
restaurants and the
smallest New York City
businesses — will have
slightly different wage
requirements.
“This $1.50 increase,
I cannot even comprehend or tell you how
important this will be,”
said Alvin Major, a
New York City fast-food
worker. The 51-year-old
father of four helped
lead the fight for the
increase in his state,
one of several successful efforts by fast-food
workers and other low
wage workers around
the country. “The
price of food has gone
up. Rent has gone up.
Everything has gone
up. … This will make a
difference for so many
people.”
Voters in Arizona,
Maine, Colorado and
Washington approved
increases in this year’s
election. Seven other
states, Alaska, Florida,
Missouri, Montana,
New Jersey, Ohio and
South Dakota, are automatically raising the
wage based on indexing. The other states
seeing increases are
Arkansas, Connecticut,
Hawaii, Michigan and
Vermont.
Additional increases
are slated for later in
the year in Oregon,
Washington, D.C., and
Maryland.
In Arizona, the state
Chamber of Commerce
and Industry filed a
lawsuit challenging
the increase, which
will raise the minimum
wage from $8.05 to
$10. On Thursday, the
Arizona Supreme Court
refused to temporarily
block the raise.
Workers and labor
advocates argue the
increases will help lowwage workers now barely making ends meet
and boost the economy
by giving some consumers more money to
spend. But many business owners opposed
the higher wages, saying they would lead
to higher prices and
greater automation.
Some restaurant owners may consider reducing portion sizes or
charging for side dishes
that were once included
in the price of a meal
to absorb the increase,
according to Melissa
Fleischut, president of
the New York State Restaurant Association.
“I’m sure prices will
go up where they can,
but restaurants want
to avoid sticker shock,”
she said. “They’re going
to have to get creative.”
The adjustments in
New York, California
and several other states
are part of a series of
gradual increases to a
$12 or $15 hourly wage.
The minimum wage
will also go up this
weekend in 22 cities
and counties, including
San Diego, San Jose
and Seattle.
The high number of
states and localities
raising the wage this
year reflects the successful work of fast-food
workers and organized
labor, according to
Tsedeye Gebreselassie,
senior staff attorney at
the National Employment Law Project, as
well as federal inaction on the wage. The
national minimum was
last raised, to $7.25, in
2009.
“These aren’t only
teens trying to make
some pocket money,”
she said. “Increasingly
it’s adults who are using
this money to support
their families.”

Blessing Box available in Racine
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com
RACINE — Need
something take something. Have a little extra,
leave it for someone in
need.
That is the idea behind
a Blessing Box placed in
Racine by the CarmelSutton United Methodist Church Friendship
Circle.
The box is located next
to AB&T Auto and Floral
on South Third Street in
Racine.
Kathy McDaniel and
Jackie White, both members of the Friendship
Circle, explained that
items were placed in the
box and some have been
taken out, while they
have noticed that additional items have been
added.
Some of the main
items that have been
popular in the box have
been household items
and winter items have
also been added.
The soap and fabric
softener were some of
the first items to go. For
the winter months, the
group is looking into
what items can be in
the box which will not
be impacted by the cold
weather. Information
sheets are also being
placed in the box to
direct individuals on who
and where to contact
if they need additional
help.
The box itself was built
by Paul Hayes, while
Jason Shain donated a
sign for the box.
There are several in
the area who are keeping an eye on the box, as
well as Friendship Circle
members checking on it.
McDaniel and White
explained that they were
surprised by the excitement around the placement of the box.
Like the blessing box
in Racine, one has also
been recently placed in
Point Pleasant.
The “Blessing Box”
in Point Pleasant is the
brainchild of Hannah Parsons and Heidi Creamer.
Located outside of The
Meeting House at 2423
Jackson Avenue, the box
contains non-perishable
food and personal
hygiene items free for
anyone needing them.
The Blessing Box will
be available 24-hours-aday, seven-days-a-week
for anyone needing a little extra to help them get
by, or for anyone wanting
to add to the box, according to Parsons. She said
the anonymity of the
project will take away
what some view as an
embarrassing situation.

Sheriff ’s Office, NHTSA team up against drunk driving
MEIGS COUNTY —
Football fans across the
country will celebrate
America’s most watched
national sporting event,
Super Bowl LI, on Sunday, Feb. 5. For many, the
celebration will include
drinking alcohol.
That’s why the Meigs
County Sheriff’s Office
is teaming up with the
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration
(NHTSA) for a special
“Fans Don’t Let Fans
Drive Drunk” reminder
to urge all football fans
to call the right play on
Super Bowl weekend
by passing the keys to a
sober driver before the
drinking begins.
Drunk driving can be
deadly. A driver is considered alcohol-impaired
with a blood alcohol
Courtesy photo
concentration (BAC) of
.08 or higher, but even a
small amount of alcohol
can impair judgment and
reaction times enough
to make driving unsafe.
According to NHTSA, in
2015 10,265 people —
29 percent of all people
killed in motor vehicle
crashes in the United
States that year—were
killed in crashes that
involved an impaired
driver.
“Super Bowl Fans
Don’t Let Fans Drive
Drunk. If you want to
be the MVP of Super
Bowl LI, volunteer to
be a designated driver
to help your family and
friends get home safely,”
said Sheriff Keith Wood.
“Drunk driving only
leads to disaster and
tragedy. It is never worth
the risk. If you do plan to
drink, remember to pass
the keys to the sober
driver before kickoff.”
Wood said fans that
have been drinking can
secure a safe ride home
by designating a sober
driver, or using public
transportation.
In addition, NHTSA’s
Safer Ride mobile app,
available on the app
store, is another resource
to help football fans who
have been drinking find
a sober ride home — by
identifying their location
and helping to call a taxi
or a friend to pick them
up.

As the weather is turning colder,
we would like to remind our customers that we have assistance
with their heating.
Gallia Meigs Community Action
Agency’s Emergency HEAP Program began Nov. 1, 2016 and will
continue through March 31, 2017,
explained Debbie Cundiff, Community Services Manager. We
began booking appointments on
Friday, October 28 and will continue booking appointments every
Friday starting at 8 a.m. (unless
it’s a holiday). You may call the
Cheshire Office at 740-367-7341 or
740-992-6629, or you may walk-in
to book an appointment. However,
please note, an appointment may
not extend a scheduled utility
shut-off.
Emergency HEAP provides
assistance to households that have
had utilities disconnected, face the
threat of disconnection, or have 25
percent or less supply of bulk fuel,
or less than 10 day supply of wood
or coal. The program allows a onetime payment per heating season
to restore or retain home heating.
The potential dollar amount will
be up to $175 for regulated utilities, up to $550 for unregulated
utilities, up to $450 for wood,
coal or pellets and up to 200 gallons for propane/fuel oil, etc., and
up to eight cylinders of propane,
depending of the cost.
The income guidelines for Regular HEAP and Emergency HEAP
are the same; however, regular
HEAP requires the previous 12
months income while the past
three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The
12-month period or three-month
period for the help is determined
from date of application making it
possible for some with decreased
income during these periods
to qualify later in the program.
Examples of these types of situations could occur from layoff,
strike, retirement, disability or
death of a spouse or household
member. Documentation verifying
ALL household income must be
provided when applying for HEAP.

Trump presidency puts California
Legislature in defense mode
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
(AP) — As California
lawmakers return to Sacramento on Wednesday,
liberal dreams of expanding safety-net benefits
and providing health
coverage to immigrants
are giving way to a new
vision revolving around a
feverish push to protect
gains racked up in the
past.
After years of pushing
forward a progressive
agenda, legislative Democrats will be pushing back
against conservative policies from President-elect
Donald Trump and the
Republican Congress.
Instead of expanding
Medi-Cal health coverage
to adult immigrants who
can’t prove they’re legally
in the country, Democrats are now concentrating on how to retain
health coverage for those
who already have it. And
anti-poverty groups are
focused on preventing
cuts to food stamp and
welfare programs rather
than trying to expand
them as planned.
“There is so much
uncertainty at the federal
level, because they’re
talking about some
really drastic policy
choices that could have
a really negative impact
on California,” said Scott
Graves, research director
for the California Budget
& Policy Center, a leftleaning research group.
Last year was a particularly effective one for
California liberals. The
Legislature extended the
nation’s most ambitious
climate change programs,
raised the minimum wage
to $15 and toughened
gun laws. Lawmakers
boosted overtime for
farmworkers, expanded
welfare benefits and
enacted a sweeping array
of anti-tobacco measures.
This year had all the
makings of continuing
the trend. Democrats will
arrive Wednesday with
supermajorities in both
chambers — enough to
advance their own agenda without GOP interfer-
ence if they stand united.
Notably, though,
Democrats took their
first action as a supermajority not to advance a
contentious public policy
objective but to send a
message to Trump.
Right after they took
the oath of office last
month, Democrats in the
Assembly and Senate suspended legislative rules
to immediately approve
resolutions urging the
incoming administration
to keep a program allowing hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who are in the
country illegally to stay.
While the California
Legislature has broad
authority to chart its own
agenda, it relies significantly on federal dollars.
According to the state
Department of Finance,
California gets $96 billion
from the federal government, a figure almost as
large as the state’s $122
billion general fund.
Those federal funds
cover a massive share
of the budget for health
care, food stamps, welfare and other safety-net
programs.
Liberals are particularly worried that
the budget prepared by
U.S. House Speaker Paul
Ryan, R-Wisconsin, will
lead to severe cuts in
those programs through
block grants or other
methods of shifting
responsibility to states,
while also giving them
more flexibility.
“Block granting … is
just not what’s in the best
interests of the recipients
of those programs,” said
Sen. Holly Mitchell, a
Los Angeles Democrat
who will lead the state
budget committee next
year. “We’re dealing with
hungry people, which we
cannot ignore.”
Graves noted that
before the election, he
hoped the Legislature
would take a serious look
at boosting subsidized
child care and Supplemental Security Income
payments for seniors and
people with disabilities.
That seems less likely
now.
Congressional Republicans also are eager to
repeal President Barack
Obama’s health care
overhaul, which provides
$20 billion for the MediCal program and private
insurance subsidies.
Preserving that coverage,
much less expanding it to
cover more people, would
be extremely expensive.
The California Endowment has provided millions of dollars for an
advocacy campaign called
Health4All to expand
Medi-Cal coverage for
immigrants who can’t
prove they’re legally in
the United States. In
December, it announced
a new initiative:
Fight4All. The $25 million effort reflects a shift
in focus from creating
new rights to defending
existing ones.
“A whole host of areas
where significant progress has been made in
California in the last five
or six years or so, we feel
that work is now in jeopardy,” said Dr. Tony Iton,
the endowment’s senior
vice president.
Still, conservatives in
the state aren’t optimistic
that Trump’s presidency
will give them a reprieve
from lawmakers’ persistent push to the left.
California’s Legislature
is “sort of like its own
nation-state,” said Tom
Scott, California director
of the National Federation of Independent Business, a small-business
advocacy organization
that often is at odds with
legislative priorities
including labor and environmental mandates.
“Quite frankly, whatever the Trump administration does, it will not stop
Gov. Brown and the state
Legislature from moving
forward on their political
agenda,” Scott said. “So
I’m on one level expecting sort of business — or
un-business — as usual,
and I don’t see that
changing.”

Ohio universities seek more
state money, tuition hikes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s
higher education leaders want the state
to give its public universities more
money in the next budget.
The Inter-University Council of Ohio
seeks a 4.5 percent increase in the basic
state subsidy for each of the next two
years, The Blade newspaper reported
(http://bit.ly/2hRGQus ) recently.
The group, which represents the
state’s public universities, has also
asked for a 10 percent total bump in
funding for needy Ohio students and
wants universities to have the option to
raise tuition this school year.
The state expects to provide nearly
$2 billion in instructional subsidies this
year. The subsidy grew by 4 percent this
year and 4.7 percent the year before.
“We are back to our funding level
before the Great Recession, which
means that over the last eight years we
haven’t made any progress, but we’ve
recovered what we’ve lost,” council
president Bruce Johnson told The
Blade.
The group’s proposed 4.5 percent subsidy increase would cost an additional
$89 million next fiscal year.
State officials say they’re expecting
the upcoming budget will be “tight.”
“We have made significant investments for our colleges and universities
in past years, but this upcoming budget
will be tight, and anyone looking for
a major program expansion is likely
to be disappointed,” said Emmalee
Kalmbach, spokeswoman for Gov. John
Kasich.
Ohio ranked 40th in the country for
educational appropriations per full-time
equivalent student in fiscal year 2015,
according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers.

THEIR VIEW
Obama finally
gets tough
with Russia
By Jay Ambrose
Contributing Columnist
Despite sloppy
reporting that repeatedly said otherwise,
often accompanied by
Page 1 headlines, Donald Trump never called
for Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.
He specifically said
any hacking would not
have occurred if the
Obama administration
had not been so weak,
implying that a Trump
administration would
have been strong and
would have prevented
it.
He had a point. President Barack Obama
has been wimpy on
hacking and other misdeeds by Russians, and
they have kept coming
at us until finally they
went a step too far for
him. They are said to
have hacked emails of
the Clinton campaign
headquarters and
arranged their public
release, apparently to
discredit her as she ran
for president, hardly a
move citizens should
cheer.
So with justification
possibly accompanied
by political purpose,
Obama has combined
fist-waving rhetoric
with sanctions. But
where was his fury in
2014 when the Russians hacked his own
White House emails,
not the classified items
in special servers, but
still sensitive material that Obama and
staffers were sending
around about daily
activities?
Why didn’t we see
more fiery-eyed pluck
when the Russians
were hacking State
Department emails
and technological and
other information all
over the county? This
was all major stuff
with possibly major
military, economic and
other consequences,
but some say, we also
spy and didn’t want to
go too far. Still where
was the necessary
toughness when Russia
grabbed Crimea and
otherwise messed with
Ukraine or intervened
in Syria?
To move beyond
Russia, why did we
have an all-talk-nowalk Syria policy that
has left almost a half
million dead and multimillions as refugees?
Why did we do so little
when the Chinese stole
information on 20 million federal employees
or began messing with
the holdings of U.S.
allies in the South
China Sea?
If Obama had been
tougher earlier, might
we not have had the
hacking of the Democrats and possibly an
attempted hacking
of Republicans who
outsmarted them? Is
the public learning so
much about Clinton
campaign underhandedness more important
than all of the above?
Do Obama’s lastminute actions have
“Why didn’t we
see more fieryeyed pluck when
the Russians were
hacking State
Department emails
and technological
and other
information all over
the county?”
—Jay Ambrose
anything at all to do
with delegitimizing the
legacy-erasing election
of Trump and complicating his moves after
the inaugural?
I think they do, and I
do not think WikiLeaks
made much if any difference in the election.
I obviously cannot
prove that, however,
and I do think Obama
is on-target. The
question now is what
Trump will do.
Everyone points,
first off, to his supposed approval of Russian hacking. What he
said was that the press
would be delighted if
Russia did have Clinton’s deleted emails
and shared them. He
was not referring to
the political hacking,
but to material written when Clinton
secretary of state and
that she herself said
concerned only such
personal things as talk
about yoga lessons
and grandkids. If they
concerned work-related
matters, obstruction
of justice would be an
issue.
Trump has also
praised Russian President Vladimir Putin,
a murderous autocrat
who is now striving for
Russia to rise to threatening new heights.
Trump will need to
stand up to him, but
there also could be
areas where Russia’s
national interests
coincide with ours,
such as eradicating
the Islamic State. Just
maybe, this deal-maker
could make some wise
bargains with Russia
without naively trying
for a “Russian reset,”
as Obama and Clinton
did.
It might also be
recalled that the
Clintons received millions of dollars for
their foundation as
Bill Clinton helped
donating interests in
a deal in which uranium resources went
to Russia, including
20 percent of U.S. uranium. Russia rose to
be the foremost world
power in these nuclear
materials and Bill
Clinton also received
a $500,000 check from
a Kremlin-associated
bank for a speech he
gave.
All of that received
less attention during
the campaign than the
misinformation about
Trump calling for Russian hacking.

men, 97-71
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing
MOUNT VERNON,
Ohio — Host Mount
Vernon Nazarene rallied
with a scoring blitz over
a 10-minute span which
bridged the close of the
first half and the start of
the second stanza and
went on to defeat the
University of Rio Grande,
97-71, Friday afternoon,
in non-conference men’s
basketball action at Ariel
Arena.
The Cougars, who
received votes in the
latest NAIA Division II
coaches’ poll, improved
to 13-3 with a fourth
straight win.
Rio Grande, which
played without the services of starting forward
Stanley Christian, who
missed the contest while
attending the funeral of
a family member, had a
modest two-game winning streak snapped and
slipped to 4-11.
The RedStorm led
throughout much of the
opening half and enjoyed
a 28-23 advantage following a three-pointer
by senior Corey Cruse
(Fort Mitchell, KY) with
6:06 remaining before
intermission, but MVNU
reeled off 13 consecutive
points and closed the half
on a 15-2 run for a 38-30
halftime lead.
The Cougars also
scored the first 11 points
of the second half, taking
a 49-30 cushion after a
Josh Ashwill layup with
16:22 left to play and
never looked back.
Rio Grande got no closer than 16 points the rest
of the way and MVNU
extended its advantage to
as many as 32 points on
two occasions inside the
final three minutes of the
contest.
The Cougars shot a
blistering 73.5 percent
(25-for-34) from the field
in the second half, finishing at 61.3 percent (38for-62) for the game.

Point Pleasant pummels Eagles, 75-45
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio —
The Big Blacks have certainly
had a December to remember.
The Point Pleasant boys basketball team finished the final
month of 2016 with a sevengame winning streak, capped
off by a 75-45 victory over nonconference host Eastern, on
Friday night in ‘The Nest’.
The Big Blacks (7-1) never
trailed in the game, outscoring
Eastern (3-4) by a 19-to-6 clip
in the opening quarter. The
Eagles cut the lead to single
digits at 33-24, seven minutes
into the second quarter, but
PPHS sank a three-pointer just
before the halftime buzzer, and
the Big Blacks led 36-24 at the
break.
Point Pleasant hit 9-of-11
field goal attempts in the third
quarter, as the Red, Black and
White pushed their lead to
60-32, with eight minutes to
play.
The Big Blacks extended
their lead as high as 34 in the
final quarter, as the guests
cruised to the 75-45 victory.
“We feel like we have some
good shooters and in our
offense, it’s our theme to be
unselfish,” said PPHS head
coach Josh Williams. “We
just tell them to keep the
ball moving and it’ll find the
open player. It was just one of
those nights where multiple
guys were on and if we get
that, we’re hard to defend. I
think they played selfless ball
tonight. Defensively, they came
with some energy tonight,
compared to the last game.”
For the game, PPHS shot
28-of-51 (54.9 percent) from
the field, including 10-of-24
(41.7 percent) from beyond
the arc. Meanwhile, Eastern
was 19-of-47 (40.4 percent)
from the field, including 3-of11 (27.3 percent) from deep.
Point Pleasant made 9-of-11
(81.8 percent) free throw
attempts, while EHS was 4-of-7
(57.1 percent) from the stripe.
Point Pleasant won the
rebounding battle by a 31-to18 clip, including 9-to-7 on
the offensive glass. As a team,
PPHS recorded 24 assists, four
steals and just five turnovers,
while Eastern had 13 assists,
two steals and eight turnovers.
“When you have an outcome
where you get beat by 30 and
you only had eight turnovers,
I guess that’s something you
can smile about,” EHS head
coach Jeremy Hill said. “We
defiantly have been turning the
ball over too much lately and
for us to only have eight turnovers is good. We didn’t make
very many shots and they had
too many possessions. There
were probably at least 15 possessions where we shot the ball
after one pass and your not
going to get very many good
looks shooting that quick.”
PPHS senior Doug Workman
led the victors with a doubledouble effort of 27 points and
10 rebounds. Parker Rairden
scored 17 points and dished
out five assists, Will Harbour
added nine points and seven
rebounds, while Evan Thompson chipped in with six points.
Cason Payne and Camron
Long both scored five points
for the guests, with Payne also
dishing out five assists. The
Point Pleasant offense was
rounded out by Trace Derenberger with four points and
Braydon Ralbusky with two.
Point Pleasant’s defense was
led by Rairden and Harbour
with two steals each.
EHS senior Jett Facemyer
led the hosts with 14 points,
followed by Sharp Facemyer
with 13 points and four assists.

Southern senior Tylar Blevins (2) looks to pass the
ball against the Nelsonville-York defense during
Friday night’s non-league boys basketball game at
Southern High School.
RACINE, Ohio — Unfortunately for the
Tornadoes, the visiting Nelsonville-York
Buckeyes withstood what seemed to be
an avalanche of a start.
In the second half, and ultimately as
a result, the Tornadoes experienced an
offensive breakdown of what seemed like
earthquake proportions.
That’s because Southern stormed out to
starts of 10-0, 18-4 and 29-14, but allowed
44 second-half points — en route to the
Buckeyes bouncing the Tornadoes 70-58
on Friday night in a non-league boys basketball tilt.
After the Tornadoes raced out to 20-9
following the opening quarter, and fended
off a Nelsonville-York rally to lead 38-26 at
halftime, the Buckeyes bashed Southern
25-5 in the third frame — taking the lead
with 3:18 remaining and never relinquish-
ing it the rest of the way.
The Tornadoes, in the final 11 minutes
and 18 seconds, never got closer than
54-52 with 4:43 left to play.
In addition, as Southern is a notoriously difficult venue for visitors to win at
per many pundits, Nelsonville-York netted
19-of-25 free throws — including 9-of-12
in the fourth quarter alone.
That’s exactly what Southern shot for
the entire game — a contest that got
away from veteran coach Jeff Caldwell’s
club.
As a result, the Tornadoes slipped to an
even 4-4, while Nelsonville-York improved
to 5-3.
“When a team makes a run on us, we
just really lose our confidence on the
offensive end,” said Caldwell. “We don’t
have one go-to guy that can make a bucket for us and stop a run. Teams are going
to make runs on you. Nelsonville-York has

By Bryan Walters
some good athletes and
good players, and we
needed to respond when
they made a run at us.
But we don’t have a
response. We didn’t get
stops on the defensive
end and offensively, we
forced a little bit. It’s the
same thing right now that
this group of guys had
issues with last year.”
In the third quarter,
after Dylan Smith scored
just 50 seconds in, the
Buckeyes ran off eight
unanswered points, trimming the deficit to 40-36
at the five-minute mark.
Smith scored again
just 15 seconds later, but
another Nelsonville-York
spree — this one of 11
unanswered — spanned
two minutes and 40 seconds to make it 47-42 in
favor of the Bucks.
Aron Davis dropped in
an old-fashioned threepoint play before sinking
a pair of free throws, as
Ethan Boyher hit the
go-ahead three-pointer
— then Hunter Edwards’
trfiecta ended the spurt.
“We overcame a lot of
adversity and kept playing and played hard. Got
the ball up and down the
floor in the second half
and made some plays.
We came out and played
with great intensity in
the third quarter. Pretty
pleased with our overall
effort and not just falling
apart when things weren’t
going our way,” said
Nelsonville-York coach
Jay Kline. “We started
doing some things well to
put the pressure on them.
And when we turned the
tables, we kept the pressure on them.”
And the Tornadoes
didn’t answer.
The only other
Southern point in the
third period was a Trey
McNickle free throw with
1:39 remaining — stopping the scoring drought
of exactly three minutes
and six seconds.
Prior to that, the
Tornado offensive possessions featured three
consecutive missed shots
followed by three consecutive turnovers.
“We started off the
game so well, but you
have to start off the second half with that same
intensity and same confidence,” said Caldwell.
“For some reason, we
don’t. Teams make big
runs on us, and right now,
we don’t have that good
response. It was 25-5 in
the third quarter? Wow!
That’s a lot of mistakes on
our part when someone
makes a 25-5 run on you.”
In the final quarter,
Smith meshed a pair of
foul shots for the 54-52
deficit, but Edwards
answered with a dribbledrive down the lane —
and the Tornadoes turned
the ball over again.
The Purple and Gold
got no closer in the final
four minutes — and a

BIDWELL, Ohio —
Wrapping up the year
with a bang.
The River Valley boys
basketball team forced
30 turnovers, scored the
first 24 points of regulation and snapped an
eight-game losing skid in
the process of a convincing 70-12 victory over
visiting Federal Hocking
on Friday night in a nonconference matchup in
Gallia County.
The Raiders (2-8)
were simply dominant in
the wire-to-wire win as
the hosts held the Lancers (0-10) scoreless until
the almost midway point
of the second quarter.
Jared Hawk hit two free
throws with 4:19 left in
the half to make it a 24-2
contest.
RVHS followed with
an 8-0 run before Hawk
added two more free
throws at the 1:38 mark
for a 32-4 lead, then the
hosts tacked on seven
more consecutive points
for their largest lead of
the first half at 39-4 with
17 seconds remaining.
After missing their
first 19 shot attempts
and committing 18
turnovers, FHHS finally
made its first field goal
with just 1.8 seconds
left as Hawk converted
a layup and an and-one
free throw attempt —
which made it a 39-7
game headed into the
break.
The Maroon and
Gold — who entered the
game averaging just 25.6
points per game — were
never closer the rest of
the way.
River Valley — which
netted 17-of-42 field
goal attempts in the first
half — opened the third
quarter with a 10-0 run
in the opening two minutes, but Brandon Gould
converted a basket at
the 5:50 mark to cut the
deficit down to 49-9.
The Silver and Black
answered with a 14-1
surge to close out the
third period, giving the
hosts a resounding 63-10
cushion headed into the
finale.
Bryan Walters/OVP Sports
River Valley senior Ian Polcyn (21) contests a shot attempt by a Federal Hocking player during the
second half of Friday night’s non-conference basketball game in Bidwell, Ohio.
The Raiders closed
regulation with a small
7-2 run to wrap up the
58-point triumph, which
also served as the largest
lead of the night.
RVHS — which had
allowed at least eight trifectas in each of its last
six outings — finished
the night by allowing
only three total field
goals, including no
three-pointers. The hosts
also had eight different
players reach the scoring
column.
Fed Hock, conversely,
was held under 18 points
for the fifth time in 10
outings this year. The
dozen points scored also
matched a season low
for the guests, who also
dropped a 56-12 decision
to Alexander in the season opener.
It was hardly a quality
win, but when you’ve
dropped eight in a row
— it’s just good to be
back on the positive side
of an outcome.
However, for firstyear RVHS coach Bryan
Drummond, it was a
night full of positives as
his troops prepare for
the stretch run that leads
to the postseason.
“They’ve worked hard
all year, so tonight was
no different, but we’ve
just run into some bad
luck, some injuries
and we’ve played some
really good teams early
on,” Drummond said.
“I thought we did some
really good things
tonight, particularly
on the offensive side of
the ball. We did a good
job of getting good
shots and executing our
offense, which allowed
us to really pick it up
on the defensive side of
things.
“We really needed a
night like this and I was
really proud of the effort.
It’s a good way to finish up the year and take
some momentum into
2017.”
The Raiders made
9-of-17 three-point tries
for 53 percent and finished the night 28-of-69
from the field for 41
percent.
The hosts outrebounded the Lancers by a sizable 50-21 overall margin, including a gaudy
23-4 edge on the offensive glass. The Silver
and Black also committed only 13 turnovers in
the game, eight of which
came in the first period.
Jacob Dovenbarger
led River Valley with
four trifectas and a
game-high 29 points in
roughly three quarters of
work. Dovenbarger also
earned a double-double
in the triumph with 11
rebounds.
Dustin Barber was
next with nine points,
followed by Brandon
Call and Jacob Campbell
with respective efforts of
eight and seven markers.
Ian Polcyn chipped in
six points and hauled
in 11 rebounds, while
Tre Craycraft added five
points. Rory Twyman
and Chase Caldwell completed the winning tally
with three points apiece.
RVHS was only 5-of13 at the free throw line
for 38 percent, while
Fed Hock went 6-of-7 at
the charity stripe for 86
percent.
The Lancers netted
only 3-of-37 field goal
attempts for eight percent, which included
misses on all nine of
their attempts from
behind the arc.
Hawk led the guests
with seven points, all
of which came in the
second canto. Gould and
Tyler Wilson each netted
two markers, while Deakin Hatfield completed
the scoring with one
point.
Dillon Wilfong
led FHHS with five
rebounds.

pair of free throws by
Boyher, Christian Berry
and Ronnie Wend sealed
the deal.
Edwards, with an oldfashioned three-point play
off a Wend assist, earned
the Buckeyes the 70-58
final — their largest
advantage of the entire
night.
“We tried some different defenses tonight
and held them down in
the first half. But in the
second half, they started
figuring out some things
against our zones and
we couldn’t get stops on
the defensive end,” said
Caldwell. “When we had
to play man-to-man, they
beat us in some one-onone individual matchups.”
Three Buckeyes placed
in double figures, spearheaded by the 1-2 punch
of Davis and Edwards.
Davis drained six field
goals and 8-of-9 free
throws for a game-high
20 points, collecting half
of those in the second
stanza alone — when N-Y
rallied from a 29-14 deficit with a 12-1 run.
Edwards, on eight total
field goals, added 19
points — while Boyher
bagged a pair of threes in
addition to 4-of-6 freebies.
His first free throw
got the Buckeyes on the
board — but only after
Southern scored the
opening 10 points and
with three minutes and
eight seconds gone by.
Berry buried the first
field goal for N-Y — a
three-pointer at the 3:05
mark of the first period,
en route to nine in the
canto for the team and
nine for him individually.
The Tornadoes enjoyed
the fast start, however,
canning six triples in the
opening 16 minutes.
Weston Thorla landed
a pair in the first quarter,
followed by one in the
second by Smith and
Blake Johnson — along
with a pair by Trey Pickens.
Although, Southern
only made one secondhalf trey — by Thorla
with 6:36 remaining that
made it 53-48.
Tylar Blevins, on six
field goals and a foul shot,
paced the Tornadoes with
13 points.
Thorla added a pair of
first-quarter free throws
towards 11, while Pickens
posted eight and Johnson
seven.
Smith and Crenson
Rogers registered nine
points apiece, as Rogers
racked up three field goals
and 3-of-4 second-quarter
free throws.
The Tornadoes return
to Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division action
on Friday night, when
they travel to Belpre.
“As I told the kids after
the game, they have to
want to get better,” said
Caldwell. “But we have
a lot of basketball left to
play. Hopefully, we’ll get
better as the season goes
on.”

25 points off the bench.
The freshman guard went
10-for-11 from the field
overall, including 3-for-4
from three-point range,
while playing just under
20 minutes.
Ashwill added 16
points to go along with
a game-high six assists
and three steals, while
Joey Schmitz and Trey
McBride finished with 13
points each in the win.
Schmitz also pulled down
a team-best six rebounds.
Rio Grande shot a
respectable 44.4 percent
for the game (24-for-54)
and was a solid 16-for-20
at the free throw line, but
the RedStorm committed 17 turnovers which
helped MVNU to a 24-9
advantage in points off
the miscues.
Junior guard Will Hill
(Worthington, OH)
poured in a career-high
30 points and had a teambest three assists in a losing cause for Rio.
Senior DeVon Price
(Pickerington, OH) and
sophomore Abe Eze
(Lagos, Nigeria) finished
with 12 points each for
the RedStorm, nearly
all of which came in the
second half. Price totaled
all of his points after the
break, while Eze had all
but two of his points over
the final 20 minutes.
Cruse tallied 10 points
and a game-high nine
rebounds, but was limited to no points and one
rebound after halftime.
Rio Grande returns to
action next Friday (Jan.
6) when it hosts River
States Conference rival
Brescia University in a 5
p.m. tipoff at the Newt
Oliver Arena.
John Little each scored two
points.
Catlett and Sharp Facemyer both came up with a
steal for the Eagle defense.
“Workman is by far
the best basketball player
we’ve seen, or maybe even
will see,” Coach Hill said.
“Point Pleasant has a very
nice ball club, they’re going
to be very successful, I’d
imagine. I’m not real sure
what we could have done
to slow them up, they shot
the ball very well, and of
course our defense allowed
a little bit of that. We’re
just going to go back to
work on Monday to get
ready for Meigs.”
Both teams are back in
action on Tuesday, when
Eastern hosts Meigs and
Point Pleasant visits St.
Albans.
“This team is still learning and figuring out how
to win,” Coach Williams
said. “They’re feeling con-
fident, they’re feeling good
about themselves and now
they have to learn how to
handle success. We’ll be
on the road after the new
year’s break, going to St.
Albans, and that’s going to
be a great test to see how
far we’ve come. We got
back to doing some of the
little things and had a good
couple of practices.”
Point Pleasant’s seven
victories matches its win
total for the last two seasons, as PPHS went 4-19
last season and 3-19 the
year before.

Clemson crushes Buckeyes in CFP
By Jim Naveau
jnaveau@civitasmedia.com
GLENDALE, Ariz. —
It was not good.
It was bad.
It was ugly.
Except, of course, for
Clemson.
For the Tigers, it was
good, it was great, it was
beautiful.
No. 3 Ohio State’s
quest for another national
championship came
crashing down when No.
2 Clemson dominated
the Buckeyes 31-0 in a
College Football Playoff
semifinal at the Fiesta
Bowl on Saturday night.
Heisman Trophy
runner-up Deshaun
Watson completed 19 of
33 passes for 259 yards
and a touchdown and
ran for two more TDs
to lead Clemson (13-1)
into a rematch with No.
1 Alabama in the College
Football Playoff Championship game.
The Tigers rolled up
470 yards total offense,
the most allowed by Ohio
State in a game this season.
OSU (11-2) had a
season low in total yards
(215) and rushing yards
(88). Clemson’s defense
had 11 tackles for losses
and three sacks.
“I expected a much better performance. I didn’t
expect this,” Ohio State
coach Urban Meyer said.
“We got beat and we’re
going to move on quickly.
We’ll identify things that
happened and get better.
Ohio State is not used to
this, I’m not used to this,
Rick Scuteri | AP
Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins (42) sacks Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett (16)
during the second half of the Fiesta Bowl Saturday in Glendale, Ariz.
we will not get used to
this. That’s not going to
happen,” he said.
Quarterback J.T. Barrett, who was 19 of 33 for
127 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, said, “Unfortunate
things just kept on continuing to happen. We
didn’t help our defense
at all.
“This was unexpected.
We didn’t see this coming
by any means. We didn’t
come to play,” he said.
“They did a good job of
being disruptive. We just
didn’t execute on offense,
we didn’t execute in anything on offense.”
The shutout was the
first against Ohio State
since a 28-0 loss to
Michigan in Ann Arbor
in 1993.
It was the first time in
the 194 games Meyer has
been a college head coach
that he had a team shut
out.
Clemson coach Dabo
Swinney said, “What a
night and what a journey.
Our defense was indescribable. They (Ohio
State) are a great team,
but our guys were just
ready tonight.”
If one sequence
illustrated Ohio State’s
struggles, it was in the
fourth quarter when Curtis Samuel broke loose for
a 64-yard run deep into
Clemson territory.
But three plays later
the Buckeyes were in a
fourth down and 27 yards
to go situation and Barrett threw an interception.
Meyer said he did not
get what he expected on
Saturday night.
“I thought we were
going to go compete for
the national championship in 10 days or whatever it is. I really did.
“We had a bunch of
good players, a bunch of
good guys. My anticipation is to get back here
next year and take a good
swing at it again. But
we’ve got a lot of hard
work to do,” he said.
Clemson jumped out
to a 17-0 halftime lead
and the way it was playing defense that probably
would have been enough.
But they added two
more scores and began
to look ahead to their
rematch with Alabama,
which beat the Tigers
45-40 in last year’s
national championship
game.
Bengals finish strong in 27-10 win over Ravens
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Steve Smith wanted to
go out with another huge
game. Instead, he settled
for a mundane one and a
chance to start thinking
about his family and ice
cream — Rocky Road, of
course.
Smith caught only
three passes while the
Cincinnati Bengals beat
Baltimore 27-10 on Sunday. Both teams had been
eliminated from playoff
contention, so the spotlight was on one of the
game’s all-time greats.
What was Smith thinking about at the end?
“The pressure I have
now is getting the kids
to school on time,” said
Smith, still dressed in his
silver and purple cleats
and uniform pants long
after the game ended. “Do
I eat a pint of ice cream or
a gallon of ice cream?”
The Ravens (8-8) had
an emotional hangover
from a last-minute loss in
Pittsburgh a week earlier
that had eliminated them
from contention.
“For whatever reason
— it’s hard to put your
finger on it — our emotional level was not where
it’s been in the past, and
I think it has a lot to do
with what happened last
week,” coach John Harbaugh said. “It was definitely our worst game of
the year as far as the way
we played.”
Frank Victores | AP
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith (89) is tackled by
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones (24) during the second
half Sunday in Cincinnati.
The Bengals (6-9-1)
also were officially eliminated by the Steelers two
weeks ago. For them, it
was more about having a
good final moment to a
bad season, the first time
they’ve failed to reach the
playoffs in six years.
“It’s weird sitting up
here after winning the last
game and not going to the
playoffs,” said Andy Dalton , who had made the
postseason in each of his
first five seasons.
Some takeaways from
the final game:
RAVENS’ WOES IN
CINCY: Baltimore hasn’t
won a game at Paul
Brown Stadium since
2011. Their game on
Sunday was the sixth time
in the past seven seasons
that they’ve finished the
regular season against
Cincinnati. The Bengals
have won the past four
such games, all of them in
Cincinnati.
MISSING OFENSE:
Running back Jeremy
Hill was held out of the
final game with a knee
injury, another blow to an
already depleted offense.
The Bengals also were
missing receiver A.J.
Green, tight end Tyler Eifert, running back Giovani
Bernard, tackle Cedric
Ogbuehi and guard Clint
Boling.
DALTON’S SEASON:
Dalton completed his
first 10 passes, one of
them for a touchdown, as
Cincinnati took control
with a 20-3 halftime lead.
Despite leading an offense
diminished by so many
injuries, Dalton finished
the season throwing for
4,206 yards — his secondbest total — with only
eight interceptions.
“To me, he has had his
best season,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “Unfortunately, as a team we
haven’t.”
BURKHEAD’S BIG
GAME: Rex Burkhead got
a chance to start because
of Hill’s injuries, and he
had by far his best game.
Burkhead carried 27
times for 119 yards and
a pair of touchdowns, his
biggest game since the
Bengals drafted him from
Nebraska in 2013. Burkhead is one of 15 Bengals
who could become free
agents. The running back
hopes he turned some
heads.
“It’s huge,” he said. “I’m
not going to back down
from that and say it’s not.
I like Cincinnati. I love it
here. We’ll see what happens.”
STATS
Baltimore’s Justin
Tucker had a 30-yard
field goal, his 38th of the
season, matching his club
record. Only two kickers
have made 40 field goals
in a season — David
Akers and Neil Rackers.
… Joe Flacco was 32 of
49 for 267 yards with an
interception in the end
zone. He finished with
4,276 yards, topping
Vinny Testaverde’s club
record of 4,177 yards in
1996. Asked if the record
meant anything to him,
Flacco said, “Not really.”
Alabama-Clemson 2:
New characters, plot
lines for CFP sequel
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — As with any sequel,
Alabama-Clemson II will have some new characters
and fresh plot lines.
The top-ranked Crimson Tide and No. 3 Tigers
will meet in Tampa, Florida, on Jan. 9 in the College Football Playoff national championship game.
Last year they played a wild 45-40 game won by
‘Bama. It gave Nick Saban a fourth national title
with the Tide and fifth overall.
The rematch is a chance for Saban and Alabama
to add to an already unprecedented run of four
national championships in seven years. For Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, it is another opportunity
to beat his beloved alma mater and snap a title
drought for the Tigers that stretches back more
than three decades.
Deshaun Watson is back. The Clemson quarterback was so good last season against the Tide that
Saban was comparing him to Cam Newton.
O.J. Howard returns for Alabama, the tight end
who had a career game in last year’s final. Both
teams once again feature fearsome defensive lines,
even though some of the stars have changed.
But there’s plenty new this time around:
HURTS SO GOOD
Alabama’s Jalen Hurts is a victory away from
becoming the first true freshman quarterback
to lead a team to a national championship since
Jamelle Holieway did it with Oklahoma in 1985 .
Last season Jake Coker was the Tide’s quarterback,
a more conventional drop-back passer who threw
for 335 yards on 16 completions, including five for
208 to Howard.
With Hurts, the Tide has become far more reliant
the quarterback running game. Hurts is still a work
in progress in the passing game. He went 7 for
14 for 57 yards in Alabama’s 24-7 victory against
Washington in the Peach Bowl on Saturday . He
did run 19 times for 50 yards and on the season he
is up to 891 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Hurts is a more talented player than Coker, but if
Alabama needs to trade scores with Clemson again,
can the 18-year-old make the plays in the passing
game that Coker did last year? Then again, Hurts’
mobility will come in handy against a Clemson pass
rush that ranks right up there with Alabama’s.
TOP TARGET
Welcome to the national title game, Mike Williams.
Clemson’s top wide-receiver is 6-foot-3, 225
pounds and a few months away from becoming an
NFL millionaire. He missed just about all of last
season while recovering from a neck injury and
returned this year to become Watson’s favorite
target.
Alabama has NFL-caliber talent everywhere, of
course, but Williams is a matchup nightmare even
for good corners such as Marlon Humphrey and
Anthony Averett. Williams had six catches for 96
yards against Ohio State in a 31-0 victory Saturday
night . He has 90 receptions for 1,267 yards and 10
touchdowns on the season.
The Tigers will also add Deon Cain to its receiving corps this time around. As a freshman last year,
he was suspended for the championship game. He
has been a big-play guy for Watson with nine touchdowns and a 19.4-yard average on 32 catches.
MEN IN THE MIDDLE
The newest defensive line terror for Clemson
is also the biggest. Freshman Dexter Lawrence
checks in at 6-5 and 340 pounds and he has played
like an All-American this season. He did not record
a tackle against Ohio State but the Buckeyes
seemed to shy away from even running in the middle of Clemson’s defense because of Lawrence and
second-team All-America Carlos Watkins.
At least partially responsible for moving Lawrence will be 319-pound center Bradley Bozeman,
who stepped in for first-round pick Ryan Kelly this
season to lead Alabama’s offensive line.
The Tide has not lost much at center with Bozeman, but Clemson’s line and Lawrence in particular, will be his toughest test.
BO-DOZER
That huge tailback wearing a single-digit jersey
number for Alabama probably reminds you of Derrick Henry.
The Heisman Trophy winner who ran for 158
yards and three touchdowns on 36 carries against
Clemson last season is gone, but Bo Scarbrough,
listed at 6-foot-2 and a questionable 228 pounds,
does a pretty good Henry impersonation .
The Tide unleashed Scarbrough on Washington
for 19 carries and 180 yards. Technically, he is Alabama’s third option in the backfield. Damien Harris
leads the team with 1,013 yards rushing and a 7.2
average per carry and freshman Josh Jacobs has
551 yards and 6.6 average. None of them carried
the ball last season against Clemson.
Steelers surge to playoffs, Browns prepping for draft
PITTSBURGH (AP) — It was
a game, yeah. But in some ways,
it was also a job interview for
Landry Jones.
And while the Pittsburgh
Steelers quarterback — who will
become a free agent in March —
didn’t exactly ace it while filling
in for Ben Roethlisberger in an
otherwise meaningless regular
season-finale against Cleveland,
Jones did finish with a flourish.
Jones hit Cobi Hamilton in
the left corner of the end zone
for a 26-yard touchdown with
2:57 left in overtime to lift the
Steelers to a 27-24 victory over
the Browns, sustaining Pittsburgh’s momentum heading into
the playoffs and giving Jones’
resume a nice little boost in the
process.
“It was hard the way that we
won,” Jones said. “But in the
end, for a quarterback to do it
in overtime, to do it on the last
drive and to throw a pass like
that — those are the things you
dream about. I think for me that
was just a big deal in my career.”
Jones completed 24 of 37
for 277 yards with three touchdowns and an interception
despite getting sacked four times
for the first victory in a game he
both started and finished. Jones
went 6 for 8 on the last drive,
including a fourth-down conversion to Demarcus Ayers.
“Landry Jones stayed in the
fight, did a great job leading
us down the stretch,” Steelers
coach Mike Tomlin said. “He
had a no-blink attitude and
demeanor, and it was good.”
The rest of the reserves did
pretty well in their own right
while Pittsburgh sat Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio
Brown to preserve them for next
week’s visit from Miami in the
opening round of the playoffs.
Hamilton caught three passes
for 54 yards. DeAngelo Williams
finished with 94 total yards and
two touchdowns in his return
from knee surgery.
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey hauled in a 46-yard
catch to set up a score, but
also punched the ball out of
Cleveland cornerback Briean
Boddy-Calhoun at the goal line
to prevent a pick-6 and keep the
Steelers in the game.
