COLUMBUS — Ohio’s popular deer-gun season will run an additional weekend, Saturday and Sunday, December 17-18, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. The extra weekend days were added in 2006 in response to requests from hunters for more weekend time to hunt. Hunters can use a legal muzzleloader, handgun or shotgun from one half-hour before sunrise until sunset on December 17-18. Ohio’s pre-hunting season population was estimated to be 750,000 white-tailed deer. The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal in Ohio, frequently pursued by generations of hunters. Ohio ranks 8th nationally in annual huntingrelated sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with the hunting-related industry. Each year, hunting has an $859 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more. Ohio is divided into three deer hunting zones. After November 27, a limit of one deer may be taken in Zone A (12 counties) and two deer in Zone B (38 counties). Beginning December 5, the bag limit is three deer in Zone C and antlerless deer permits are no longer valid. Anytime a hunter takes more than one deer, an additional permit must be purchased. Those hunting in urban units and at Division of Wildlife-authorized controlled hunts will have a six-deer bag limit, those deer will not count against the hunter’s zone bag limit. Antlerless deer permits may be used for the entire season in urban deer units or Division of Wildlife-authorized controlled hunts. Antlerless deer permits must have been purchased prior to November 27 and are no longer available. Antlerless tags are not valid in Zones A and B after November 27. Hunters may take only one antlered deer, regardless of zone, hunting method or season. A deer permit is required in addition to a valid Ohio hunting license and hunter orange is required to be worn except for waterfowl hunters. Donations of extra deer will be accepted through the entire deer season which ends on February 5, 2012. Hunters who give their deer to a food bank are not required to pay the processing cost as long as See DEER, Page 2 �Tuesday, December 13, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituaries Martha Brown Hoover Martha Brown Hoover, 80, of Yauger Road, Mount Vernon, passed away on Sunday, December 11, 2011, at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus following a brief illness.

Ohio briefs Suspect in Pittsfield robbery caught in Ohio PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — The alleged getaway driver in a brazen daytime robbery of a Pittsfield convenience store in October has been captured in Ohio. Massachusetts authorities say Gregory Peltier was arrested last Wednesday at a home in the southern Ohio town of South Point. The Berkshire Eagle reports that he has waived rendition and is expected to return to Pittsfield to face charges within days. Pittsfield police say the 27-year-old Peltier drove the getaway car after a robbery Oct. 27 at O’Connell’s Convenience Plus. A store employee was robbed by a masked man with what she believed was a gun as she headed to the bank to deposit $7,500. The other man, Kareem Wright, has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to seven to eight years in prison. State begins death row move to southern Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio has begun moving its death row to a prison in southern Ohio that’s not far from the state’s death house. Prisons spokesman Carlo LoParo tells The Columbus Dispatch that 29 inmates were transferred to the Chillicothe Correctional Institution last week, mainly from the Mansfield Correctional Institution. Most of the state’s condemned inmates are now housed at the super-maximum prison in Youngstown. Scores of them will be moved to Chillicothe by the end of the month. Saving on transportation costs is one goal of the relocation. Chillicothe is only about 37 miles from the state’s death chamber at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville. The state now spends about $1,200 to move an inmate the 260 miles from Youngstown to the death Sewer From Page 1 er overflows into the Ohio River. The EPA mandated that the work be done several years ago but it was only when outside funding was secured that the village could move forward.

The motion was filed Monday in federal court on behalf of former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, a former county Democratic chairman in Cleveland. The defense says “sensationally” chosen wiretap quotes in the latest indictment against Dimora were meant to influence potential jurors at his bribery trial Jan. 4 in Akron. The wiretap material was detailed in an extortion indictment unsealed against Dimora in October as juror questionnaire details were under way in the first case. Spokesman Michael Tobin with the U.S. attorney’s office says prosecutors won’t comment. The defense says it’s entitled to look for evidence of prosecution vindictiveness against Dimora. GM suspending Cruze car production at Ohio plant LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — The northeast Ohio GM plant that makes the Chevrolet Cruze compact car is halting production because of what the automaker says is a supplier issue. The General Motors Co. says the shutdown at the complex in Lordstown, outside Youngstown, begins with Monday night shifts and early Monday shifts are expected to be shortened. The complex, with production and stamping plants, employs about 4,500 people. The Detroit-based automaker says it is working with the supplier in an effort to resume production soon.

Managing Editor Alan Miller of The Columbus Dispatch says Jeff Stahler quit Friday. Stahler had been suspended with pay last week pending an internal review. The Daily Cartoonist noted that a recent Stahler cartoon showed a woman at a desk telling a man his resume is “in a medium-sized pile” on the floor near “the assistant director’s office.” The New Yorker cartoon involves a novel “in a medium-size pile” on the floor near “Oprah’s assistant’s desk.” Stahler told The Daily Cartoonist the resemblance was coincidental. Messages for comment sent Monday to Stahler via his Dispatch email and Facebook were not immediately returned.

O”Bleness hires new director of human resources Page 3 Tuesday, December 13, 2011 Post-grad boyfriend still lives with parents think that it is important to strike out on your own. You can mention that you don’t find the time with his family particularly relaxing, and ask him to imagine being in your shoes and spending time with your family. No matter how well you get along with his parents, it’s not the same as having a quiet evening with just the two of you. The first step for you should be to get him to agree that his housing arrangement is temporary, and then you can start encouraging him to find his own place. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: A friend of mine is taking care of her granddaughter because of a family situation with the girl’s parents. I watch this girl, a toddler, on weekends sometimes, and my friend tells me basically to let her watch her baby DVDs and TV shows all day. I don’t want to get in the middle of anything, but it doesn’t sound like great parenting to me. Is it OK for a toddler to be spending all day watching television, even if it is educational? — S.S. Dear S.S.: In short, the answer is no. There is an almost unlimited supply of media products targeted at toddlers, and more people are turning to these instead of faceto-face human interaction to teach their toddlers the life skills they need. This is an unfortunate fact, because according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are much better ways for children to learn at this important age. The AAP recommends that children under the age of 2 should be kept as free from televisions and computer screens as possible. While these DVDs and television shows are marketed as educational, there really is no research to support these claims, and toddlers learn much more effectively from interactions with real people, whether it’s their parents, grandparents, baby sitters or peers. This time spent with others — essentially, playtime — teaches kids to think creatively and solve problems, as well as develops their motor and interpersonal skills. If you or your friend aren’t up to spending even a moment with her toddler, invest in a playpen or some other way for her to have some supervised playtime while you’re resting or doing other things. The best thing you and your friend can do for her is to play with her and allow her to play by herself, rather than plopping her in front of a so-called educational show.

Young and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps’ core values — honor, courage and commitment, and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. Young and fellow recruits ended the training phase with The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evolution culminating in an emotional ceremony in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem, and addressed as “Marines” for the first time in their careers. By Dr. Joyce Brothers Dear Dr. Brothers: My boyfriend still lives with his parents. He graduated from college more than two years ago, but he’s still happily living in his childhood room. His parents don’t seem to mind that he’s there, but I feel strange going to his house to have a relaxing night and then having to endure awkward conversations with his parents while I’m there. Am I being selfish, or is it strange that an adult man should still be living at home? — W.S. Dear W.S.: This is becoming a more complicated question, with the current economy and so many people unemployed or underemployed. A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for a college graduate to want to live with his or her parents, but with more grads taking unpaid internships and being unable to find work, these days more people are taking this route than ever before. That being said, it can be a significant strain on your relationship if you aren’t comfortable with the situation. There’s nothing inherently wrong with him continuing to live with his parents, especially if it’s a temporary situation and he’s able to support himself otherwise, but he should respect that it’s not an ideal situation for you.

C designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally. Young and fellow recruits began their training at 5 a. m., by running three miles and performing calisthenics.

Rafferty’s father gave a copy to The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland. Rafferty has been charged with aggravated murder and complicity to aggravated murder and is expected to be transferred to adult court after a hearing next week. Authorities have linked at least two deaths to a bogus help-wanted ad posted to the online Craigslist site to lure victims to rural Ohio. David Pauley, 51, of Virginia was killed on Oct. 23, and the body of Timothy Kern, 48, of Massillon was found near an Akron shopping mall Nov. 25. Both had been shot in the head. A South Carolina man escaped after being shot and was able to lead police to the site of Pauley’s body. The body of a third possible victim, Ralph Geiger, 55, from Atlanta, was found on Nov. 25 near where Pauley was buried. Rafferty is accused of helping Ernie and Cindy claim $1 million prize on ‘Race’ NEW YORK (AP) — “The Amazing Race” took its final three teams on a frantic scramble through Atlanta during Sunday’s conclusion of the CBS competition show. In the end, it was Ernie Halvorsen and his fiancee Cindy Chiang, both from Chicago, who crossed the finish line at Atlanta’s historic Swan House to win the $1 million prize. In second place were Californians Jeremy Cline and Sandy Draghi. In third place were former NFL player Marcus Pollard and his wife Amani, from Pine Mountain, Ga. During this last leg of the round-the-world race, the couples were required to land a jetliner in a flight simulator, find “Gone With the Wind” author Margaret Mitchell’s home, and plot their 40,000-mile odyssey on a giant world map erected high above the parking lot at Turner Field. But interviewed after the broadcast, the winners said their most unnerving moment was the basic task of getting a cab at Atlanta’s airport. “Nobody wanted to take us,” Ernie said. “That was the most stressful thing as we saw the other teams departing.” Finally a driver volunteered, “and we give him all the rest of our money as a tip,” said Cindy. The episode’s most comic scene: when Jer- emy and Sandy went in search of “the Dump,” the name for Mitchell’s famous residence, but instead were delivered by their driver to a huge department store called The Dump, where they wasted precious time prowling its aisles in vain to find the clue that wasn’t there. “This is so nerveracking,” said Draghi when they were back on the road. “I have to get on Prilosec when I get home.” Visit us online at www.mydailysentinel.com 52-year-old self-styled preacher Richard Beasley in at least two of the shootings. Beasley’s mother said her son acted as a mentor to Rafferty and took the boy to church.

His aunts, uncles, grandmother and pets would be gone and his parents dead or dying, he wrote. �Opinion The Daily Sentinel Simplifying credit card agreements By Sen. Sherrod Brown Credit card agreements should be written in easy-to-understand language – not in small-print legal jargon. Consumers can make smarter choices about credit card usage when they understand what they are reading, but, right now, credit card companies hide costly fees by issuing incomprehensible contracts. And, throughout the country, we’re seeing middle-class families struggling to climb out of credit card debt. Americans owe a total of $693 billion in credit card debt – with an average balance of $1,809 per household. All who use credit cards should do so responsibly. But responsibility should also extend to the credit card issuers, and that means that they should not hide behind small print and pages and pages of legal jargon to disguise from consumers the interest rates, penalties, and fees they may face. For decades, major credit card companies have extracted extraordinary profits from consumers who may not understand the terms and conditions of lengthy credit card agreements. Big banks have hidden unfair credit card terms in language that only a contract lawyer can decipher. And without notice, big businesses have raised interest rates or imposed penalties. Americans deserve a consumer cop on the beat who is not marching to the orders of Wall Street executives. Complex credit card agreements often translate to unsustainable levels of consumer debt and unchecked profits for big credit card companies. For too long, these special interests have yielded too much power. They employ high power lobbyists who protect the status quo. And largely, they’ve gotten their way. Until now. In 2009, I fought to pass the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act (CARD Act) aimed at keeping banks and credit card companies from nickel and diming hard-working Americans and underage consumers. The CARD Act has already helped stem the long-standing practice of hiking interest rates on existing cardholders, reduce the amount of late fees consumers are charged, and curtail the abuse of over draft fees. The CARD Act also requires a credit card com- pany to notify a consumer 45 days in advance of a scheduled interest rate increase or other significant change to the terms of the card and provide that cardholder with the chance to cancel the card before the change occurs. And last year, as part of the Wall Street Reform Act, Congress created a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to give consumers as loud a voice as the Wall Street special interest. The CFPB – a watchdog charged with cracking down on Wall Street’s financial tricks and reckless practices – last week in Cleveland unveiled a less complicated credit card agreement. This two-page prototype credit card agreement is written in plain language. It is also much shorter than the average 5,000 word contract currently used. With more than 500 million credit cards in circulation across the country – and rising credit card debt – it is imperative that we do a better job of empowering Americans to combat abusive credit card practices. Last week, I spoke with Associate Director of CFPB Raj Date about the importance of strengthening our economy by strengthening consumers’ understanding of credit card agreements. He explained how the proposed, simplified credit card agreement would explain in clear terms consumer rights, privacy protection, and ways in which billing disputes are handled. As the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection, I’ve been working to improve disclosure to bolster financial stability in households both in Ohio and throughout the United States. We’ve already helped protect Americans from excessive credit card debt and create fairer rules for consumers. This new effort is an extension of that work. When given the choice between signing a simplified two-page agreement or committing to a stack of difficult-to-understand pages, Americans will make wiser choices about credit card spending – and save money by paying fewer fees. We can eliminate cumbersome contracts and protect cardholders from surprises in their monthly bills. That’s why Congress should work closely with CFPB to help protect American communities from the economic weight of credit card debt. Letter from to the editor: Help provide the gift of life with organ donation Dear Editor, We will all have to wait at some point this holiday season. We might wait in line to purchase the perfect gift, wait with anticipation for Santa’s arrival on Christmas morning, wait excitedly for our favorite cookies to come out of the oven or anxiously await the chance to see family and friends. When you find yourself waiting, I ask you to consider those who are waiting for something that may never come. Think about the 112,000 Americans who wait for the “Gift of Life” through an organ transplant. Most will wait months or years and every day 18 men, women and children will die waiting. They wait for a donor’s generosity to let life go on. You don’t have to wait to make a difference. All you have to do is register as an organ and tissue donor. It won’t cost you money, but it will give hope to those waiting for a second chance at life. Don’t wait. Sign up as an organ and tissue donor today at www.lifelineofohio.org, at your local BMV or by calling 800-525-5667. — Kent Holloway, CEO, Lifeline of Ohio The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

It undercut its own reasoned goal of putting in place policies that prevent unwanted pregnancies and abortions. President Obama has made a big deal of giving science and the scientific process its due in his administration. … Unfortunately, it is hard to find the science behind Kathleen Sebelius’ decision to overrule the Food and Drug Administration regarding access to the emergency contraceptive pill, Plan B One Step. Few issues in recent years have pitched science and political calculation against each other more than the controversy over reproductive rights. By rejecting the FDA’s conclusion that the “morning-after pill” should be made available for sale over-the-counter to girls younger than 17 years, the secretary of health and human services demonstrated once again the continued sway of politics over sound science in policies regarding birth control. The pill delays or prevents ovulation. Studies show that taken within 24 hours after unprotected sex, Plan B reduces by half the likelihood of pregnancy. It does not terminate a pregnancy. … Sebelius contends the new FDA rule did not take into account girls as young as 11 years having access to emergency contraception. In that she reflects unease about young girls becoming sexually active too early. … It is a shame the Obama White House has chosen now to disregard sound science in forming public policy. *** The (Toledo) Blade, Dec. 11 Senate Republicans successfully threatened a filibuster last week to block a vote on the nomination of former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. .. The bureau aims to protect Americans from abuses by check cashers, debt collectors, payday lenders, and mortgage loan offices that take advantage of poor and less-educated consumers who use their services. It also oversees requirements that banks observe transparency in disclosing the financial-service fees they charge their clients. GOP senators weren’t concerned with Mr. Cordray’s fitness for the job; he is highly respected by professional colleagues. … The real issue is that Republicans don’t want the new consumer finance bureau to have a director at all. They want to keep it toothless, because the financial institutions that contribute generously to their campaigns want to stay as free from government oversight and accountability as they can. … More broadly, the obsolete and abused Senate practice of the filibuster needs to go. If Republicans tried to block such a change, which would allow the Senate to function as if it were actually a democratic institution — that would be a good reason for Democrats to filibuster as many days and nights as necessary to remedy the problem. This easy road to gridlock, which has made an ugly farce of Congress’s pathetic Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. floundering in the face of the nation’s problems, needs to be eliminated now. *** The Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. 8 So it’s disappointing that the state Senate is focusing much of its attention on a bill that, while a matter of serious moral conviction among its proponents, is not only unlikely to prevail but poorly thought out, unworkable and divisive — the anti-abortion Heartbeat Bill (H.B. 125), which would ban the procedure if a fetal heartbeat can be detected. … No one should question the sincerity and passion of abortion opponents who have advanced H.B. 125, including its principal sponsor, Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, R-Napoleon. But it’s fair to question whether this is the right measure and a wise tactic right now. … If enacted, it would be the nation’s toughest abortion law. The problem is, a fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as six weeks, sometimes before a woman knows she is pregnant. … It’s so divisive that it has fractured the state’s anti-abortion forces, with 10 county chapters of Ohio Right to Life breaking away from the state organization. An Ohio Right to Life leader testified the bill is “likely to backfire” and hurt anti-abortion efforts. It could backfire politically as well. Opponents such as Rep. Shirley Smith, D-Cleveland, are linking it to SB 5, the collective bargaining reform defeated overwhelmingly by voters last month, as “another attack on individual rights.” This legislation and the debate around it will lead nowhere. Lawmakers should not be entertaining this heartfelt but misguided bill. *** The Ironton Tribune, Dec. 11 Several popular television shows have helped make couponing ultra-popular. In fact, this past time has gone to the extreme, so far in fact that some people are breaking the law. That is about as extreme as it gets. The recent couponing craze has been a double-edged sword for the newspaper industry. On the one hand, more customers are purchasing the newspaper to get coupons and more advertisers are taking advantage of this by inserting more sales fliers to promote their businesses. The downside is that, like with many things in life, a few individuals essentially ruin it for everyone by abusing the system and stealing coupons either from newspapers they have not purchased or stealing the newspapers altogether. … Even in some instances when the newspapers or the publications are free, to take every single one of them still constitutes theft because that’s not the intent. Understandably, our current economy is difficult for many families and saving a little money here and there is more important than ever. But to do so at the expense of others and with a blatant disregard for the law is selfish and irresponsible. … (W)e hope people realize it is not worth breaking the law to save a few cents.

Morrison Gymnasium. The host Marauders (0-3, 0-1 TVC Ohio) shot a respectable 44 percent and reached double digits in each quarter of the setback, but the Buckeyes (1-2, 1-0) scorched the nets by connecting on 35of-55 field goal attempts for an impressive 64 percent effort.

OVCS returns to action Tuesday when it travels to Calvary for a non-conference matchup at 6 p.m. Texans beat Bengals 20-19 for first playoff berth CINCINNATI (AP) — Eighty yards to cover, little more than 2 minutes left, no timeouts to help. Rookie quarterback T.J. Yates faced his biggest challenge as he lined up for the snap. With savvy and a scramble, he pulled it off. Yates led the biggest drive in Texans history on Sunday, one that put them in the end zone and the playoffs. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass with 2 seconds left for a 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that sent the expansion team into the playoffs for the first time. “It’s pretty crazy,” Yates said. “A lot of people in this organization have waited a long time for this. This is a special day for this team and this organization.” In the span of a few wild minutes, everything broke their way. With their seventh straight win, the Texans (10-3) moved to the threshold of the playoffs. They hugged on the field then headed to the locker room, where they huddled around a television set and watched the final minutes of Tennessee’s game play out. They needed a Titans loss to clinch the AFC South. When time ran out on the Titans, preserving New Orleans’ 22-17 victory, the Texans screamed, hugged, and donned black championship caps and white T-shirts. Injured receiver Andre Johnson, who didn’t play because of a strained hamstring, got a game ball for his part in turning the team into a winner. “Words really can’t describe it,” Johnson said. “It’s something I’ve been waiting for for a long time.” Since their inaugural season in 2002, the Texans have been little more than a tease. They’d come close to reaching the playoffs, only to fade and fumble in the big games. They couldn’t quite get that breakthrough win. An unlikely rookie took them the last step. Yates, a fifth-round draft pick, got his chance The Heat & Frost Insulators and Allied Workers Local 80 JATC is having an open application process for entry into the Apprenticeship Program beginning January 19, 2012 from 1:00-3:00pm, January 20, 2012 from 1:00-3:00pm, and continuing on with the last 2 Thursdays and Fridays of each month.

They’d lost three of their last four, including a 35-7 drubbing in Pittsburgh last week that essentially eliminated them from the AFC North race. Now, they’re going to need help getting the final wild card berth. “As far as the team goes, they are very disappointed and I’m going to have to pump some air in them,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “Before this game, we controlled our own destiny, and now I can’t tell you what is going to happen.” The Texans have kept winning while losing quarterbacks. They took the final step into the playoffs without Johnson, who was inactive Sunday because of a strained left hamstring. Yates and a solid defense pulled them through. Yates went 26 of 44 for 300 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and five sacks. Houston’s defense was the stingiest in the AFC, and came through after the Texans fell behind 16-3 at halftime. Andy Dalton was sacked and fumbled, setting up Yates’ 6-yard touchdown pass that got the Texans some momentum early in the third quarter. “It did not look like we had any chance of getting out of here with a win,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “But we have a young quarterback who believes in what he’s doing.” when Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart suffered season-ending injuries in consecutive weeks. Making only his second start, Yates led the Texans on their biggest comeback of the season. With everything on the line for both teams, the Bengals (7-6) couldn’t stop him. “A rookie quarterback beat us today,” safety Chris Crocker said. “He did it with both his arm and his feet. I don’t even know what to say. Wow.” Wow, indeed. Yates scrambled 17 yards on third-and-15 to keep the drive going. A pass interference penalty on Adam “Pacman” Jones put the ball at the 6-yard line with 12 seconds left. After an incompletion, Walter lined up wide right, cut to the middle of the field and was uncovered at the goal line. Offensive tackle Duane Brown ran to Yates and repeatedly slapped his helmet in celebration. The kid had come through when it mattered most. “Hey, we’re champs!” receiver Jacoby Jones said. “All my years I’ve been playing, I’ve never been on a team that got over the hump.” Only 41,202 fans the second-smallest crowd in Paul Brown Stadium history showed up to watch the Bengals turn themselves into a long shot for the e ctiv ge yA Sta na Ma ss re St Happy Healthy Holidays From the Meigs g Countyy Health Department p rt Wa M s h Yo ur H and s ur o Get Y hot Flu S From Page 5 overall, 2-0 SEOAL) won their third-straight game, but it was a struggle against a Gallipolis team (1-5, 0-2) that fought tooth and nail on its home court. Neither team led by more than five points and the lead changed hands on seven occasions. And what made things even more interesting was that, with 4:57 to play, part of the lights went out when someone apparently bumped or accidentally turned the switch, causing a 10-minute delay with the game tied 29-29. “When the lights went off I said basically we’ve got a five-minute game here,” said Logan coach Pat Walsh. “We have to be better than them for five minutes, and we were. Thank goodness, because it was a struggle.” When the regular lights were slow to come back on, Gallipolis coach Renee Barnes suggested to Walsh to continue the game with the auxiliary lighting as well as bright sunshine coming through the windows. Thank goodness for a clear, sunny day outside. “Let’s go ahead and play,” Barnes said to Walsh, and he readily agreed. Less than 40 seconds later, the Blue Angels’ Kendra Barnes hit a jumper from the freethrow line that hit the heel of the rim, bounced high into the air and dropped through for a 3129 GAHS advantage. Was it time to call in the crew from “Ghost Hunters” to investigate this surreal setting? As the lights began to come back on, both teams missed scoring opportunities before Gallipolis gained possession with under 2:30 to play. Then, with the ball out of the hands of Ward (13 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals), Walsh implored Simons to make sure the ball remained out of her possession. And she did just that. Simons anticipated the pass for Ward and knocked the ball away near mid-court, beat Ward to the ball and drove in for her game-tying layup. “I looked at her eyes and knew they were trying to get it to her,” Simons said. “We had to get a steal to win it, then after I got my hand on it I knew I had to beat her to it.” Simons (11 points, four assists, three steals and five rebounds) acknowledged that, being a senior, she has to step up and make such plays but also said the underclassmen came through as well. Gallia Academy didn’t score again, but it certainly wasn’t for lack of effort or because they didn’t have chances. They missed four shots in a span of 20 seconds, including a three-shot Foo dS afe ty www.meigscountyhealth.com Like Us on Facebook Meigs County (Ohio) Health Department 740-992-6626 Family Values Packages Available sequence in which Ward tracked down her own long rebound. “She took some contested shots but somehow she got open and somehow she got the ball,” Walsh said of Ward. “Somehow she got shots off, and the one time she got her own rebound. She was really playing hard. We did enough to keep her from beating us… but it wasn’t because of her effort. She really played well. She just couldn’t get a bucket to go in” at the end. Logan turned the ball over on an inbounds pass with 33 seconds remaining, but Simons then came through with another clutch steal and got the ball to Frasure near the top of the key. There, a Gallipolis player fouled Frasure much too hard from behind, sending Frasure sprawling and drawing an intentional foul. Frasure sank one of the two ensuing free throws then, after McNeal was fouled before the ball was inbounded, Frasure came up with a loose ball after a missed free throw and drew another foul. This time she swished both charity tosses to make it 35-31 with 14.6 seconds left, and the Lady Chiefs could finally breathe a collective sigh of relief. A late GAHS three-pointer, which wouldn’t have been enough anyway, went awry. GAHS took an early 4-0 lead before Logan rallied for an 11-8 edge at the break. The lead went back and forth three times in the second period, with Halley Barnes netting a rebound shot at the buzzer to give the Angels a 16-15 halftime edge. A Ward three-pointer helped Gallipolis take a 20-17 lead two minutes into the third period before the Lady Chiefs got a pair of buckets from Frasure and two Simons free throws to take a 2320 edge. It was 25-22 Logan after three periods and 27-22 in the early stages of the final period before Gallipolis drew even at 27-27 and again at 29-29. It all set the stage for Simons to make her huge play and help lift the Lady Chiefs to victory… and if she was as successful at her ACTs as she was on the basketball floor Saturday afternoon, there’s no doubt she passed that more important test with flying colors.
