same period in the prior year.
Thomas E. Wiseman, president and
CEO of Ohio Valley Banc Corp., commented, “The last quarter of 2018
signaled growth for OVBC. Not only in
commercial loans as you will see in our
earnings release, but physical growth
as well as we began construction on
two new locations: OVB on the Square
and OVB Bend Area Ofﬁce. OVB on
the Square is our project to reclaim one
of the bank’s ﬁrst locations and outﬁt it
to become our new headquarters. The
OVB Bend Area Ofﬁce is a new branch
location, estimated to open in the ﬁrst
half of 2019. We look forward to better
serving the Meigs/Mason area with
convenient drive-thru lanes and a modern, comfortable ofﬁce.”
For the fourth quarter of 2018, net
interest income increased $284,000,
and for the year ended December 31,
2018, net interest income increased
$1,993,000, from the same respective
periods last year. Positively impacting
net interest income was the growth
in earning assets. For the year ended
December 31, 2018, average earning assets increased $51 million from
the same period the prior year. The
growth in average earning assets was
primarily attributable to an increase
in balances being maintained at the
Federal Reserve and from the loan
portfolio. The $30 million increase in
average balances being maintained at
the Federal Reserve was related to the
growth in average deposits exceeding
the growth in average loans, partially
due to an increase in seasonal deposit
balances associated with clearing tax
refunds. This increase in average balance, when coupled with the 100 basis
point increase in short-term interest
rates since December 31, 2017, generated an additional $1,017,000 in yearto-date interest income. For the year
ended December 31, 2018, average
loans increased $21 million from the
same period last year, led by growth

within the commercial loan segment.
For the year ended December 31, 2018,
interest and fees on loans increased
$2,183,000 from the same period last
year. For the year ended December 31,
2018, the net interest margin was 4.43
percent, compared to 4.49 percent for
the same period the prior year. The
decrease in net interest margin was
related to the higher balances maintained at the Federal Reserve, which
diluted the net interest margin due
to the yield on those balances being
less than other earning assets, such as
loans and securities.
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the provision for loan
losses decreased $1,299,000, and for
the year ended December 31, 2018,
the provision for loan losses decreased
$1,525,000, from the same respective
periods in 2017. For the three months
ended December 31, 2018, the negative provision for loan loss expense of
$656,000 was primarily related to the
improvement in certain economic risk
factors contributing to lower general
reserves. During the fourth quarter, the
level of classiﬁed loans, or those loans
demonstrating ﬁnancial weakness,
declined from the prior quarter due to
the improvement in ﬁnancial performance by certain loan relationships.
In addition, our historical loss rates
on loans, overall loan delinquency, and
regional unemployment improved from
the prior quarter. In association with
these lower risk factors, the general
reserves required for the allowance
for loan losses decreased. For the
year ended December 31, 2018, the
provision for loan losses incurred of
$1,039,000 was primarily related to
year-to-date net loan charge-offs of
$1,810,000, which was partially offset
by lower general reserves in relation
to the improved risk factors experienced in the fourth quarter. The ratio
of nonperforming loans to total loans
was 1.25 percent at December 31, 2018
compared to 1.36 percent at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan
losses was .87 percent of total loans at
December 31, 2018, compared to .97
percent at December 31, 2017.
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, noninterest income
totaled $1,397,000, a decrease of
$531,000 from the same period last
year. Noninterest income totaled
$8,938,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $497,000
from the same period last year.
Contributing to the decrease for the
quarter and part of the year-to-date
was the loss on sale of other real estate
owned, which increased $539,000 for
the quarter and increased $370,000
for the year. The primary contributor
was the liquidation of one foreclosed
property during the fourth quarter of
2018, which resulted in a loss on sale
of $594,000. Further contributing to

the year-to-date decrease was income
on bank owned life insurance. In conjunction with various beneﬁt plans for
directors and key employees, the Company maintains an investment in bank
owned life insurance. During 2017,
the Company received life insurance
proceeds of $514,000, which contributed to the $509,000 decrease in bank
owned life insurance income for 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2018,
tax refund processing fees totaled
$1,579,000, a decrease of $113,000
from the same period the prior year.
The decrease was related to the lower
per item fee received by the Company
under the contract with the third-party
tax refund product provider. Partially
offsetting the decreases above was the
increase in interchange income earned
from debit and credit transactions. For
the year ended December 31, 2018,
interchange income increased $286,000
from the same period last year in relation to the growth in number of cards
issued and higher transaction volume.
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, noninterest expense
totaled $8,183,000, an increase of
$47,000 from the same period last
year. For the year ended December
31, 2018, noninterest expense totaled
$37,426,000, an increase of $817,000,
or 2.2 percent, from the same period
last year. The Company’s largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee
beneﬁts, increased $130,000 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 and
increased $1,382,000 as compared to
the year ended December 31, 2017.
The increase was primarily related
to annual merit increases and higher
health insurance expense. Partially offsetting the year-to-date increase above
was lower expense associated with
foreclosed assets and lower marketing
expense, which decreased $261,000
and $257,000, respectively, from the
year ended December 31, 2017.
For the year ended December 31,
2018, income tax expense totaled
$2,255,000, a decrease of $2,231,000
from the same period last year. As
part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
which was enacted on December 22,
2017, the Company’s statutory federal
income tax rate was reduced from
34 percent to 21 percent resulting in
lower tax expense. In addition, during
the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a one-time charge of
$1,783,000 to revalue the Company’s
net deferred tax asset in accordance
with the tax rate change.

THEIR VIEW

‘Let It Snow!
Let It Snow!
Let it Snow!’
Some people may think I’m a little crazy, but I
like snow! As long as I can remember, I have very
fond memories of snow. It seems like, when we
were kids, it would snow every winter. We all had sleds, skates, some
kind of a hockey stick, bats, broom
sticks or just a 2-by-4. There was an
old wooden chair that had the back
broken off, that I used to balance
myself when I was learning to skate.
On the farm, we had the only hills

When the snow ﬂew, the kids from

all around would head to the slopes
at the Pool’s. If you could set on it,
and it would slide, it was a sled. I have ridden saucers, and sleds with rails, or runners, and even a
scoop shovel. That was a wild ride!
One year for Christmas, my dad bought me the
mother of all downhill death-defying modes of
downhill thrill rides. It was a wooden toboggan!
He showed me how to wax it up to make it go
faster. Boy, did I wax that thing up. You could pile
three or four kids on it. It seemed that the more
the weight, the faster it went. We would pack the
snow very hard. Then we would challenge each
rider to see how he could get the fastest, farthest
ride. There were some days when we started riding early in the morning, break for lunch, and
then head back out again. Then we had to break
to get the cows up for milking, feed them, and
also the other animals, then go back out to sled
again before it got dark. It seemed this went on all
winter. I have to say that during those days with
our neighbors, friendships grew that have lasted
all my life.
The thrill of going faster and faster on the
toboggan increased over the years. One of my
best friend’s dad bought a 4-wheel drive International Scout. We had the toboggan. My friend’s
dad pulled out a long cattle rope and tied it to the
rear of the Scout. Well, he didn’t have to say anymore. My friend and I placed the sled behind the
Scout. I got on the front of the sled. My friend was
behind me. I grabbed the rope and off we went.
The snow was very deep. My friend’s dad tried his
best to knock us off the sled. I was a good toboggan handler from all the years of downhill thrills.
The faster it went, the more fun it was. We were
covered with snow. We did that for several years.
Another good friend had a horse-training track.
When it snowed, you could ﬂy around the track on
that toboggan behind the old Scout. Sometimes,
now, when we get together, we talk about the old
days with the old Scout and toboggan rides. I have
to say that all this riding led me into riding a snow
machine. Now, I enjoy plowing snow. If I could go
back to anytime in my life, I would have to say I
would go anytime and anywhere there was snow!

No. 15 IU East
survives upset
bid by RedStorm
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — If it wasn’t poor free
throw shooting that short-circuited upset bid by
the University of Rio Grande, a controversial call
with the game hanging in the balance may have.
Indiana University East rallied from a second
half deﬁcit and pulled away over the ﬁnal ﬁve minutes for a 73-67 win over the RedStorm, Tuesday
night, in River States Conference men’s basketball
action at the Newt Oliver Arena.
The Red Wolves, who are ranked 15th in the
most recent NAIA Division II coaches’ poll,
improved to 20-6 overall and 12-1 in league play
with an 11th consecutive victory.
Rio Grande, which learned earlier in the day
that freshman standout Gunner Short (Catlettsburg, KY) and key reserve Raul Timoner (Alaior,
Spain) were lost for the remainder of the season
due to injury, slipped to 9-17 overall and 3-10 in
the RSC with the loss.
The RedStorm scored the ﬁnal nine points of
the ﬁrst half to take a 35-34 edge at the intermission and maintained the one-point advantage,
44-43, after a bucket in the lane by senior Earl
Russell (Warrington, England) with 12:19 left to
play.
IU East scored seven of the next nine points to
take a 50-46 lead on a pair of Nate Niehoff free
throws with 8:52 remaining and was nursing a
56-53 cushion with just under six minutes to play
when controversy intervened.
Junior Cameron Schreiter (Mason, OH) was
ﬂoored by IU East’s Keating Rombach, but was
whistled for a blocking foul as Rombach’s shot
found its way into the goal.
Rio head coach Ken French was then whistled
for a technical foul after voicing his displeasure
with the call.

BIDWELL, Ohio —
Caught in the middle.
The River Valley

built a 14-point ﬁrst
quarter lead, but visiting Wellston made a
37-22 charge over the
next two frames and
ultimately held on to
claim a 62-58 victory on
Tuesday night in a TriValley Conference Ohio
Division contest in Gallia County.
The Raiders (2-13, 0-9

one of their better

season as the hosts shot
48 percent from the
ﬁeld, which included an
8-of-15 performance in

advantage.
The Golden Rockets
(3-13, 2-7), however,

Third quarter run fuels Wolves past Rio
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — For
the second time in three games, it
was a third quarter swoon which
spelled doom for the University
of Rio Grande women’s basketball
team.
Indiana University East used a
15-0 run over a span of ﬁve minutes to take control and then held
on down the stretch for an 84-78
win over the RedStorm, Tuesday
night, in River States Conference
women’s basketball action at the
Newt Oliver Arena.
The Red Wolves improved to
11-14 overall and 9-4 in conference play, completing a regular
season sweep of Rio Grande in
the process.
The RedStorm lost for the seventh straight time, falling to 13-12
overall and 4-9 in the RSC.
Rio Grande trailed by as many
as eight points in the ﬁrst half
before forging a 44-all tie at the
intermission and taking a 46-44
advantage after a jumper by senior
Chelsy Slone (Gallipolis, OH) just
11 seconds into the third period.
But by the time the RedStorm

senior Jaida Carter (New Philadelphia, OH) with 4:31 left in the
quarter - IU East had turned the

The lead eventually reached 12

and pulled within eight, 76-68, on

Triple-double lifts Michigan over OSU
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) —
Kaleb Wesson was alone behind
the defense, with a chance for an
easy dunk or layup.
Zavier Simpson — 9 inches
shorter — never gave up on the
play.
“He just competes,” Michigan
coach John Beilein said. “He’s
relentless in his desire to win.”
Simpson hustled back and
blocked Wesson’s shot , and soon
after that, No. 5 Michigan broke
the game open against rival Ohio
State, beating the Buckeyes 65-49
on Tuesday night. In addition to
that blocked shot, Simpson ﬁnished with a triple-double — 11
points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
The Michigan point guard also had
no turnovers in 35:51 of action in

an emotionally charged game.
Jordan Poole scored 15 points for
the Wolverines (20-1, 9-1 Big Ten),
who led by six at halftime and kept
the Buckeyes frustrated after that.
Ohio State (13-7, 3-6) has lost six
of seven, and the Buckeyes’ chances of an upset in Ann Arbor were
done in by their 19 turnovers.
It wasn’t the easiest night for
either team offensively, but Michigan ended up 10 of 27 from 3-point
range, and Ohio State (5 of 21)
didn’t come close to matching that.
Wesson led the Buckeyes with 12
points, but much of that was early.
The Wolverines led 32-26 at halftime. After Wesson opened the second half with a 3-pointer, Michigan
slowly extended the lead, going
ahead 44-33 on a 3 by Poole. Simp-

son later connected from beyond
the arc to start a 9-0 run that made
it 56-38.
“He’s a tremendous, tremendous
player,” Ohio State coach Chris
Holtmann said. “He really is, and
deserves a lot of credit for how he
impacts winning.”
Simpson seemed to be everywhere in the second half, including
in a brief skirmish that resulted in
technical fouls for two players from
each team.
“I think we can handle it better. I think that was accumulation
of some frustration, for a variety
of reasons,” Holtmann said. “I
thought the game was really physical for the bulk of the game. When
it’s that physical, those things tend
to happen.”

LA’s Cooks grabs 2nd shot at Super Bowl after trade
ATLANTA (AP) —
In the past three NFL
seasons alone, Brandin
Cooks has caught passes
from Drew Brees, Tom
Brady and Jared Goff
while playing for Sean
Payton, Bill Belichick and
Sean McVay.
“I guess I know how to
pick ‘em, right?” Cooks
asked Tuesday with a
laugh.
Cooks has racked up
3,786 yards receiving and
21 total touchdowns in
that three-season span,
which will include six
playoff games and two
consecutive Super Bowls.
He played for the
Patriots in the big game
last year, and he will play
against them for the Los
Angeles Rams on Sunday. He is also the ﬁrst
player in NFL history to
have three consecutive
1,000-yard receiving seasons with three different
teams.
But there are asterisks
on this incredible resume.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (12) is the first
player in NFL history to have three consecutive 1,000-yard
receiving seasons with three different teams. He played for the
Patriots in the big game last year, and he will play against them for
the Rams on Sunday.

Cooks was only able
to accomplish these feats
because he was traded
before each of the past
two seasons, changing
teams twice before he
turned 25 years old.
Two elite NFL franchises — New Orleans and
New England — decided
they could do without
the speedy, dependable
receiver, giving him up

for ﬁrst-round picks.
Although he has been
asked about it almost
daily during the Rams’
playoff run, Cooks insists
he harbors no ill will
against the Saints or the
Patriots.
The Rams’ postseason could have been a
personal revenge tour,
but Cooks says it means
nothing to him that his

two former teams are Los
Angeles’ ﬁnal two playoff
opponents: The Rams
beat New Orleans 26-23
in the NFC championship
game, and they will face
the Patriots in the Super
Bowl.
While Cooks claims he
didn’t take it personally,
he also acknowledges
using the trades as motivation during his fourth
consecutive 1,000-yard
season and the subsequent playoff grind.
“It’s fuel to the ﬁre,”
Cooks said. “I know that
I can play this game at a
high level, whether someone thinks it or not. For
them to trade me, it’s part
of the game, but it also
gives me that motivation
to keep going, too.”
This Super Bowl is a
particular opportunity for
Cooks, who realizes how
fortunate he is to return
to football’s biggest stage
for a second straight
year. Cooks caught just
one pass for the Patriots
against Philadelphia last
season before he was
sidelined with a concussion, missing most of the
biggest game of his life.
“I would be lying if I
said I didn’t think about it
like all year, offseason and
training camp,” Cooks
said. “But now that I’m
here, I’ve got that thought
process out of my mind.”
Cooks has avoided
constant attempts to
get him to compare the
inner workings of the
Patriots and Rams this
week, deliberately giving
simplistic, short answers
such as: “They’re both
great cultures. That’s the
similarity.”
But it’s clear he has
found a home in his
native California with the
Rams, who have lavished
praise on him ever since
his arrival. They even
signed him to a ﬁve-year,
$80 million contract
extension before he
played a game in LA, and
he rewarded them with
a career-best 1,204 yards
receiving.

2-point shootouts?
NCAA looks to limit
OT football games
By Ralph D. Russo
The Associated Press

Marathon overtime
games in college football, such as the one
LSU and Texas A&amp;M
played last season,
are already rare. The
NCAA would like them
to become extinct.
Concerned about
increased injury risk
to players, the football
rules committee later
this month will consider tweaks to the overtime format. The goal
is to make it less likely
for games to go beyond
two extra possessions
for each team.
Among the more
radical ideas set to be
discussed is going to
a 2-point-conversion
shootout after teams
have played two full OT
possessions.
“The overtime process is really not broken,” said Steve Shaw,
the national coordinator of football ofﬁcials.
“It’s just when you go
beyond two (overtime
possessions), it’s too
much.”
The committee meets
the last week of February in Indianapolis
and will also — again
— discuss targeting.
The American Football
Coaches Association
wants to make targeting a two-tiered foul,
with a 15-yard penalty
for some helmet hits
and 15 yards plus ejection for more malicious
hits. Currently, all
targeting fouls result
in ejection. A similar
change was considered
last year, but shot down
and the same seems
likely this year. However, other changes will
be discussed that could
lead to fewer ejections.
The current overtime
format, implemented
in 1996, gives each
team possession at the
opponent’s 25-yard line,
and repeats the process
until one team has outscored the other. After
two possessions by
each team, the offense
must try a 2-point conversion instead of kicking an extra point after
a touchdown.
On average, 37 Bowl
Subdivision games have
gone to overtime over
the past four seasons.
Most end after one
round of possessions.
Only six games per
season have gone past
two overtimes. LSU
and Texas A&amp;M tied a
record by playing seven
overtime periods in
November. The Aggies
won 74-72 and the
teams ran 207 offensive
plays; an average regu-

lation game features
140.
“Obviously that’s a
lot of exertion on the
student-athletes,” said
West Virginia athletic
director Shane Lyons,
who is in his ﬁrst year
as the chairman of the
NCAA’s football oversight committee.
There is no support
to allow games to end
in ties, which were part
of college football for
decades.
Shaw said he has
received dozens of
ideas about how to
tweak overtime. The
most common have to
do with placement of
the ball. With offenses
operating more efﬁciently than ever, moving the starting line
back 10 or 15 yards
could make scoring
more difﬁcult. The
rules committee will
also consider eliminating extra point tries,
forcing teams to go for
2 from the very ﬁrst
possession.
These seem to be the
most likely next steps,
but other more creative
measures will also be
considered, Shaw said.
Since the 2-point play
often decides the longer
overtime games —
Texas A&amp;M-LSU ﬁnally
ended on the Aggies’
made conversion after
LSU tried one and
failed — why not go
straight to 2-point plays
from the 2-yard line
after each team has had
the ball twice? The ﬁrst
team to get a score and
a stop wins.
Shaw said eliminating all place kicking
in overtime will also
be discussed. This
could help address a
less important issue:
the team that wins the
coin toss for overtime
usually wins the game.
Typically, the team that
wins the toss chooses
to play defense ﬁrst so
it knows what it will
take to win when it has
the ball.
“I don’t know if that’s
going to be very popular, but we’ll talk about
it,” Shaw said.
As they will with targeting.
While coaches support the two-tiered penalty, the commissioners who manage the
NCAA’s College Football Ofﬁciating LLC see
it as backing away from
a rule meant to address
player safety.
“It’s either targeting
or it’s not, and right
now the targeting penalty carries with it an
ejection,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby
said.
