Known as Issue 1 on the Nov. 3 ballot, it calls for redistricting to be handled Huffman by a a seven-member board that would include the governor, secretary of state, state auditor, two Republicans and two Democrats. For a redistricting map to last 10 years, the two board members from the minority party must vote for it. If not, the map is good for four years. “This system basically says we are going to have a system that you now have an incentive to take in account what the minority party wants,” said Matt Huffman, a Lima Republican who is co-chairing the campaign along with Vernon Sykes, a Democrat from Akron. Both Huffman and Sykes are former state representatives.

Johnson said there is a need for regulation reform in the community banking industry. “Small community banks are the starting point of small businesses,” he said. “We need start-ups for the economy to grow. Sixty percent of jobs come from small businesses. Over-regulation has impoverished the industry and we are being strangled by federal regulations.” Community bankers shared concerns, including the advantage unregulated financial groups have over their institutions. Community banks are required to involve the consumer in a lengthy and time-consuming process that requires more paperwork and personal information than ever before. The unregulated groups make getting a loan quick and easy.

But there’s another fact that may be just as surprising. Breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when detected early. In fact, the five-year survival rate rises above 90 percent when cancer is detected and treated at an early stage. Now that Breast Cancer Awareness Month is upon us, there’s no better time to schedule — or remind the women in your life to schedule — an annual mammogram. Women under 40 who are at a higher risk for breast cancer and all women over the age of 40 should get mammograms regularly. Taking the time to get a mammogram is one of the most effective ways to find cancer early and treat it effectively. Pleasant Valley Hospital offers the latest technology, which means your mammogram will be clearer than traditional mammography and that we can pinpoint abnormalities at even earlier stages. And don’t forget: looking for changes in breast tissue, regular self exams, and clinical breast exams are also critical when it comes to early detection. At PVH, we’re dedicated to keeping the community we love healthy and happy — and in doing more than simply providing health screenings. We also believe in protecting our community and doing whatever it takes to keep all of our residents living full lives. Because early detection is critical, we take great pride in offering the services that keep the women in the Point Pleasant area in optimal health. Schedule your mammogram today by calling the Center for Women’s Health at 304-675-4301.

If your party didn’t win any of the needed statewide seats, you just don’t get a voice in how Ohio’s sliced and diced to govern. That could all change, though, if voters approve State Issue 1 in November. The issue, led by Matt Huffman, a Republican former state representative from Lima, and Vernon Sykes, a former Democratic state representative from Akron, changes the way politicians gerrymander the state representative and senate seats in Ohio in a subtle but powerful way. It creates a seven-person, bipartisan panel, including the governor, auditor, secretary of state and four members, with two appointed by the majority party and two by the minority party in the General Assembly. Before anything passes out of the group, four of those seven people have to endorse it. The change to the Ohio Constitution gives a powerful veto to members of the minority party. If the minority party doesn’t like the proposed lines, the map has to be revisited in four years. That minority party could be the majority party in four years, if there’s a change in who’s sitting as governor, secretary of state and state auditor. And given Ohio’s history of being a battleground state, that’s certainly a possibility. The proposed system offers a real incentive to the members of the redistricting board to truly pause and draw as fair of districts as possible. It also has an openness to it you don’t see now, with this board’s meetings being opened to the public so taxpayers can truly see what’s behind the maps. It doesn’t eliminate the spoils system, but it will make it a lot easier to see when people are playing politics and when they’re truly trying to design a fair map. It also has rules built in to try to avoid splitting a political subdivision into unnecessary parts. Anyone living in Auglaize County, which is represented by three different state legislators depending on how far east or west you live despite only having 45,920 people in 2013, should appreciate that simplicity. The change has its limits. It only addresses state representative and state senate districts. Its backers realized trying to apply the same principles to congressional districts would be too complicated and too politically unwieldy right now. It doesn’t really account for third parties very well either. Still, when a die-hard Republican such as Huffman and a die-hard Democrat such as Sykes can get together and see its benefits, we should all consider voting for it. The issue already has the backing of other groups that would seemingly be at odds, including business and union leadership. It has the added benefit that current state senators and representatives won’t be directly affected, since the first time with the new process would be after the 2020 Census comes back. Even the people holding those districts now have spoken in favor of the change. We support this step in the right direction and encourage the leaders to continue finding ways to apply these same common-sense principles to the congressional districts. We heartily endorse State Issue 1. Q&A Junior Fair sales tax levy - Part 3 Staff Report Editor’s note: This is the third of a four-part discussion regarding a Nov. 3 referendum to enact a tax levy of onequarter of one percent for relocating the Gallia County fairgrounds. Part two of this discussion appeared in last Sunday’s edition of the Times-Sentinel. Subsequent articles will publish in Sunday editions between now and the election. The Gallia County Junior Fair Board has distributed a “frequently asked questions” brochure to many in the community, held several public meetings and spoken with numerous groups about their proposal. Junior Fair Board members Brent Eastman, Tim Massie and volunteer Jodie Penrod sat down with the Daily Tribune to discuss the proposed tax increase on the Nov. 3 ballot. DAILY TRIBUNE: Let’s talk now about the new facilities themselves. What are some possible uses for the new, relocated facilities? PENROD: There are a lot of ways an enhanced fairgrounds and facili- ties can be used. Some possible activities and events would be wedding or reception venues, meeting rooms for community or civic organizations, church activities, sports, hunting and sporting goods shows are some examples. And, a larger facility will allow us to host larger agricultural shows. The flea market we have now is very popular and having a larger indoor facility also means we could host year-round flea markets. DAILY TRIBUNE: Will rental rates of the relocated facilities be raised? EASTMAN: At this time, the rental rates for the new facilities have not been structured. The feasibility study by Johnson Consulting (the Chicago-based firm used by Gallia County Junior Fair Board that specializes in fairgrounds and real estate development) utilized the same rental rate structure for the current fair grounds when developing the operating pro forma for the new facilities, which resulted in a profitable income stream. It is the fair board’s intent to make these facilities available for the enjoyment and use of the community as much as possible. Rental rates will be comparable, if not more affordable, to similar facilities in the region. We want the facilities to be used year-round. That’s what they’re designed for and that’s the board’s expectation and hope. DAILY TRIBUNE: How will the new facilities be managed? MASSIE: The fair board will remain in its role of providing oversight of the new facilities. However, an operational manager will be utilized to oversee day-to-day operations and rental operations of the facilities in order to maximize the potential to the community. DAILY TRIBUNE: How will you pay for that position? MASSIE: This position will be paid as part of the operating expenses. We plan to cover those expenses by the rental of the facilities since we hope to see the increase from year round availability through the French 500 Flea Market and expanded use of the facilities by the community. The Johnson Consulting study supports our plan of increased operating rental income from an enhanced and larger facility. DAILY TRIBUNE: We’re told a new facility and fair grounds will create jobs in Gallia County. Can you expand on that a little? EASTMAN: Because the new facilities can be used year round it is anticipated that usage of those venues will bring more people into Gallia County. Those additional visitors result in increased spending at our community’s restaurants, hotels and retail establishments. According to the Gallia County Fair Relocation Feasibility Study performed by Johnson Consulting mentioned earlier, it is anticipated the new fair grounds and event center will create an additional $6.23 million in indirect spending per year, resulting in 54 additional jobs for our community. I might also add, it’s those same visitors who will help pay for relocating our facilities as they pay sales tax. Part four of this series that will publish next Sunday will discuss plans for the new facilities. Readers who have questions about the tax levy or fair facilities are welcome to email those to Bud Hunt, bhunt@civitasmedia.com. In turn, those questions will be passed on to Gallia County Junior Fair Board members to answer in a future column. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY … Today is Sunday, October 18, the 291st day of 2015.

Banks From page 1A customers not willing to spend time on what they view as unnecessary effort will go with the unregulated groups. The event was organized by Farmers Bank of Pomeroy President Paul H[[Z�WdZ�E^_e�8Wda[hi� League Senior Vice President and General Counsel Jeffrey Quayle. Bankers from around Ohio recognized the benefits of cooperation and formed the Ohio Bankers Association and the Ohio League of Financial Institutions. This group, now known as the Ohio Bankers League (OBL), is the trade association for the Ohio banking industry. OBL is a non-profit organization and is made up of 210 FDIC-insured financial institutions, including commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations. GkWob[�WdZ�H[[Z�iW_Z� they organized the meeting so bankers could speak with the congressman concerning community banks’ ability to grow the community and serve its customers. “We wanted to speak with the congressman and address the issues we are facing as a result of overh[]kbWj_ed"Ç�H[[Z�iW_Z$� ÆH[]kbWj_ed�_i�d[[Z[Z"� over-regulation is not.” He said that five years ago, they could look at all ways to help their custom- Memorial From page 1A “Joanne Ford was, without question, one of the most beloved and respected professors at the university throughout her 44 years (19712014) of teaching,” Pines said. “Hers was the office that some of the best and brightest students flocked to; would hang out in and discuss everything from classic literature to philosophy — Freud to film analysis — to share their own creative writing or their own personal issues or to discuss the great masters of art. She was many things to students — a refuge for the creative, free thinking and/or marginalized students.” Pines said she has been charged with taking care of Ford’s estate because the late professor had no remaining biological family. She said she and Ford became close over the past two-and-a-half decades. “Joanne and I were, for the past 24 years, mother and daughter in all ways — but blood,” she ers get a loan, but the new regulations have limited their ability to do so. Farmers Bank has been serving Meigs County for more than 100 years, and H[[Z�iW_Z�^[�\[[bi�j^[o� know their customers. “We are a community XWda"Ç�H[[Z�iW_Z$�ÆJ^[� regulations have made our knowledge of the customer irrelevant. Instead of finding the right loan for the individual, we have to find the one the regulations say they fit into. It took away our ability to customize loans to fit our customers’ needs.” Quayle said that the impact of over-regulation is felt more deeply by community banks because these banks do not have assets to spend on the numerous compliance regulations. He said larger banks can spread the cost across the company, but with community banks, each one is responsible for employing their own compliance officers. “Economic development doesn’t happen without community banks.” he said. “It is becoming increasingly difficult for young borrowers to get a loan and it isn’t just over-regulation that is the issue; it is our inability to treat all parties equally.” He went on to say that it was unregulated financial services that created the economic crash, and those entities are still without regulation. Community banks did not cause the problem, but they are the ones most impacted by the new regulations. According to Tina MeeZ�H_Y^WhZi"�W� compliance officer at Farmers Bank, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has a massive amount of regulations, making it almost impossible for community banks to manage. While the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau was established to protect consumers after the 2008 economic crash, many community bankers feel that it has had the opposite effect for their customers, making it more difficult to get a loan to start a new business or purchase needed farm equipment. “Five years ago, this bank had one compliance officer. Today, we have j^h[["Ç�H_Y^WhZi�iW_Z$� “The impact the new regulations have had on our bank has affected the products we can offer our customers.” The consensus of the group was that banking regulations are necessary, but that federal regulations have imposed overregulation on community banks and the impact of new compliance rules will continue to be an issue for their small banks. After the meeting, Johnson sat on a loan closing to view firsthand the process the customer goes through to secure a loan since Dodd-Frank was enacted. said. “The loss that the entire campus and community feels is severe. The outpouring of grief and shock by students campus-wide has been overwhelming.” Per her wishes, Ford did not have a funeral service. Ford instead had her remains donated to the Ohio University C[Z_YWb�H[i[WhY^�bWX�ie� that, as Pines put it, “she could provide a way for students to learn. This was her way.” Ford was also a professional poet, having published her works – Elephant Ears, a small poetry collection published in 1985, and Eros Operatica, a 198-page anthology of her poetry — that can be found on amazon.com. Ford was born in 1944 in Iowa and moved with her parents to Gallipolis when she was a young child. She graduated from Gallia Academy High School in 1963. She earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees from Ohio University in 1968, 1969 and 1996, respectively. <ehZ�`e_d[Z�j^[�KH=� faculty in August 1973 as an instructor of communications and English. She received tenure status in May 1977 and was promoted to assistant professor of English the same month. Ford retired in May 2014 and was awarded Faculty Emeritus status in order to recognize her years of dedication to KH=$ Pines said Ford always possessed high academic standards of her students. “She pushed students to break free from their knee-jerk reactions and ideas that they had not fully examined honestly,” she said. “She was an animated and highly involved professor. Many students compared her to the character played Xo�HeX_d�M_bb_Wci�_d� ‘The Dead Poet’s Society.’” Pines called her “a rebel but never without a cause and every bit a child of the 1960s.” “She was passionate about opera, film, poetry and literature, cats and elephants and most of all her students — many of whom became her family,” Pines said.

Daboni is currently facing 12 felony charges, according to Fisher. Daboni faces seven counts of fifth-degree felony trafficking, one count of fourthdegree felony trafficking, one count of seconddegree felony trafficking, one count of first-degree felony trafficking, one count of second-degree felony engaging a pattern of corrupt behavior, and one count of first-degree felony engaging a pattern of corrupt behavior. Three of the trafficking charges in the fifth degree mention heroin, with the rest of the trafficking charges listed simply as “trafficking,” according to court documents. Issue holder, even those running for election this year, will be in office when the plan goes into effect. For example, the person elected secretary of state in three years will participate in the 2021 map that goes into effect in 2022. The current secretary of state will not be able to run because of term limits, Huffman said. Huffman, whose party is firmly in control of both chambers and all state offices, said the time is right now to fix the problem with what he refers to as the “stars aligning” in politics. The initiative happened in the middle of a decade so it won’t go into effect for seven years and term limits prevent current officeholders, no matter the party, from selfishly working to help their own cause. “The stars aligned and we had this opportunity to fix this problem,” Huffman said. Motion at the time has a strong say that can affect the period of time between redistricting. The initiative is endorsed by the League of Women Voters. That group said the effort will result in maps that are more compact and representative to the communities rather than drawn up to favor the party in control, referred to as gerrymandering. This proposal has drawn support from conservative and liberal groups, and is backed by most state lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle. Some lawmakers want the commission to be able to go a step further and draw congressional district lines, but that’s not in the plan as it stands. Any dispute in fairness and the matter goes to the Ohio Supreme Court, which can order the commission to go back to the table and redraw the lines. Another component of the plan to ensure fairness is no current office- From page 1A lines every four years, Huffman said. “If there’s a chance your district may change four years from now, that is bad. There’s value in a 10-year map as opposed to a four-year map,” Huffman said. “All the people sitting at the table now have an incentive to compromise.” Some key elements of the plan are: š�Hkb[i�ed�h[ZhWming lines that prevent splitting up a city, for example, to prevent cherry-picking precincts in a jurisdiction that may be good for one candidate. š�JhWdifWh[dYo�m_j^� meetings open to the public and allowing residents to ask questions, including why a certain district was divided a specific way.

South Gallia stomps White Falcons, 54-19 See WILDCATS | 4B Blue Devils win GA beats Warren, 31-14, ends skid bwalters@civitasmedia.com For Ohio Valley Publishing MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Isaiah Geiger and Landon Hutchinson sparked a 33-point second half scoring assault as the South Gallia Rebels secured their first-ever gridiron victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Wahama on Friday evening by a 54-19 count. Geiger ran for 224 yards and a touchdown, while Hutchinson enjoyed a career night with three touchdowns, 176 yards on the ground, 90 yards and two scores through the air, and an interception return for six points as the Rebels laid to rest a 14-game winning streak by the White Falcons. The win was the second in a row for South Gallia as the Rebels evened their overall slate to 4-4 while pushing its TVC Hocking record to 3-3 on the season. The White Falcons fell to 3-5 overall following the setback with the Bend Area gridders suffering through a 2-5 conference campaign. South Gallia piled up more than 550 yards in total offense during the league outing with 466 yards coming on the ground. The Rebel defense also contributed greatly to the triumph in limiting Wahama to just three scores on the night. The White Falcons sustained a throng of offensive drives and tallied 22 first downs but the South Gallia defense came through with the huge defensive stops when needed. The Rebel defense turned the White Falcons away empty-handed on four occasions after the Bend Area eleven had penetrated the red zone which ultimately proved to be a huge factor in the 35 point victory. South Gallia opened an early 6-0 advantage after scoring on its opening drive. Hutchinson went the final yard to cap the series with 9:35 remaining in the first stanza. Wahama answered on its first possession by traveling 63 yards in eight plays with Jared Nutter going the final 15 yards. Christopher Hesson booted the point after to give the visitors its only lead of the night at 7-6 with 6:58 to play in the first. A Johnny Sheets 16 yard run late in the first regained the lead for good for South Gallia with A.J. Woodall booting the point after to make it 13-7.

After getting set up with good field position with its defense, Waterford got on the board after a 5-yard run from Tyler McCutcheon halfway through the third quarter. Southern tried to answer back, but their offense suffered two fumbles in the third period. Southern led the Wildcats 14-7 heading into the fourth quarter. A touchdown pass from Isaac Huffman to Jaret McCutcheon tied the game up with 10:29 left in the contest. After punt recovery, Southern was set up deep in Waterford territory.

The Waterford football team erased a 14-point deficit and went on to defeated host Southern 30-20 in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division match-up on Friday night at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field in Meigs County. The Tornadoes (3-5, 4-4 TVC Hocking) had momentum on their side, but the Wildcats (4-4, 3-3) rallied in the second half to take the victory. Waterford began the second quarter driving down the field, but were stopped short in the red zone by the Southern defense. The Tornadoes’ offense came alive with a 63-yard bomb from Blake Johnson to Tommy Ramthun. Johnson connected with Dylan Smith for 14 yards to give the Purple and Gold a scoring opportunity. Junior Kody Greene ran the ball in to give Southern a 7-0 advantage with 8:53 left in the first half. Southern’s Theron Johnson recovered a fumble to set the Tornadoes up in Waterford territory.

The Gallia Academy football team snapped its nine-game losing skid in convincing fashion Friday night following a 31-14 victory over visiting Warren in a Week 8 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League contest at Memorial Field in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (1-7, 1-0 SEOAL) never trailed in the contest, as the hosts stormed out to a 19-0 third quarter advantage and ultimately never looked back. The Warriors did manage to keep things interesting with a pair of quick scores wedged around the start of the fourth period, which allowed the guests to close to within 19-14 with 9:39 remaining in regulation. GAHS, however, answered with consecutive scoring drives on its next two possessions and also forced Warren (0-8, 0-2) to lose the ball on downs over its next two drives, which all but sealed the deal on the Blue Devils’ first triumph of the 2015 campaign. Kole Carter took a pair of kneel downs to run out the final 53 seconds of the game, then the Blue Devils were off to ring the Victory Bell at Memorial Field — something that hadn’t happened in a little over a calendar year. After struggling through seven winless weeks on the gridiron, second-year GAHS coach Josh Riffe seemed very relieved to finally have that first victory of the 2015 campaign. Not so much for himself, but rather for his troops. “I think the big thing for me right now is seeing how the kids just keep fighting. They’ve never given up through all of the adversity and they’ve just continued to battle,” Riffe said. “I’m Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Gallia Academy senior Matt Bailey (21) runs behind the block of teammate Colton Campbell during the first quarter of Friday night’s SEOAL gridiron contest against Warren at Memorial Field in Gallipolis, Ohio. really happy for them right now, to get to enjoy ringing that bell, because they absolutely deserve this moment. It feels really good for all of us to get this monkey off of our backs.” Neither team mustered points in the first stanza, but the Blue Devils made the most of their second possession in the second quarter. Kole Carter capped a 4-play, 34-yard drive with a 15-yard scamper for a 7-0 edge at the 5:27 mark. Warren responded by marching the ball down to the GAHS 36-yard line, but WHS quarterback Bryce Gandee had the ball stripped away on a first down run. Brett Hively picked the loose ball up and rumbled 57 yards to paydirt at the 2:57 mark, giving the Blue Devils a 13-0 cushion entering halftime. The Warriors owned a 131-124 advantage in total offense at the break, but the guests were also minus-1 in turnover differential. GAHS did claim a 9-7 edge in first downs in the opening 24 minutes of play. The Blue Devils took full control of the game with their opening drive of the second half, which covered 51 yards in nine plays and resulted in points. Carter hit Matt Bailey with a 15-yard TD pass at the 8:09 mark of the third to give the hosts a comfortable 19-0 cushion. Warren started making its push late in the third quarter, as the guests covered 28 yards in three plays en route to their first points of the night. Jake Davis scored on a one-yard run at the 1:25 mark to get the Warriors to within 19-7. Gallia Academy was forced into a punting situation, but a bad snap resulted in a tackle for loss and a loss of downs — giving WHS the ball at its own 44 just 16 seconds into the finale. Five plays and 56 yards later, the Warriors had cut their deficit down to a single possession after Davis scored on another one-yard run for a 19-14 contest with 9:39 left in regulation. Gallia Academy responded with a big kickoff return by Devin Henry, which gave the hosts the ball at the Warren 24-yard line. Six plays later, the Blue Devils owned a 25-14 edge after Carter plunged in from three yards out with 8:03 left in the fourth. GAHS retained possession at the Warren 49 after a loss of downs, then marched that distance in seven plays to wrap up the victory. Carter nailed the coffin shut with a 21-yard TD run at the 3:12 mark, giving the hosts a 31-14 advantage. “Give Warren a lot of credit because they made some good adjustments at halftime and their kids never quit,” Riffe said. “We were more than a little concerned when they made that run at us late, but our kids responded and found a way to get it done when we needed it most. “We were tested all See DEVILS | 4B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, October 18, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel Ironmen topple Meigs, 47-6 By Dave Harris For Ohio Valley Publishing ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Jackson Ironmen rolled into Farmers Bank Stadium/ Holzer Field Friday night with a reputation as a powerful football team, and the Ironmen proved that by rolling up 615 total yards — including 538 on the ground — in defeating the Meigs Marauders 47-6. The Ironmen went into the contest ranked number one in the Ohio Division 3, Region 9 bracket. JHS had five rushers gain at least 80 yards on the ground and had at least six different players score in the contest. The meeting was the first between the two former S.E.O.A.L rivals and the first since 1982. The all-time series is tied at eight wins apiece. Jackson scored the first three times it had the ball on offense, on a 70-yard run from Johnny Farley, a Hunter Sexton pass to Austin Leach for 31 yards, and 35-yard run by Hunter Sexton for a 19-0 second period lead. Kaileb Sheets gave the hometown fans something to cheer about when he returned the ensuing kickoff after Sexton’s run, 90 yards for an apparent score. But a Meigs penalty for a block some thirty yards behind the play wiped the score out, one of two such penalties called on Meigs to negate long plays. The Marauders finally hit pay dirt with eight seconds left in the half when Cody Bartrum hit Colton Lilly on a five-yard pass, Lilly made a beautiful catch in the end zone for the score. That capped off a fiveplay, 89-yard drive that took just 38 seconds. The big play of the drive was when Lilly hauled in a 56-yard pass from Bartrum. Any thought of a Marauder comeback was dashed when Collin Massie ran the first play of the second half 59 yards for the score. A successful kick by Sheldon Moore made it a 26-6 Jackson lead. The Ironmen added scores on runs of nine yards by Farley, 58 by Blake McCoy and a 12-yard run by Caleb Storms late in the contest to round out the scoring and a 47-6 Jackson win. Jackson with the win is now 7-1 on the season, while Meigs drops to 5-3 and has lost three straight. Meigs still in the TVC title hunt has to travel to Wellston next Friday who dropped a tough 50-42 game to Athens in overtime Friday night. A disappointed Marauder coach Mike Bartrum declined comment after the contest. Massie led all rushers with 124 yards in 11 carries, Farley added 10 in seven tries, Blake McCoy 98 in seven, Matt Humphreys 92 in five and Sexton 11 tries for 82. Sexton was five for nine in the air for 84 yards, Austin leach caught three for 61 and Kyle Kirby one for 21. For Meigs, Bartrum was 12 of 19 in the air for 173 yards, Lilly had a career night in the loss with five catches for 121 yards, and Kalieb Sheets added four for 35. Sheets and Trae Hood both had 13 yards on the ground. Dave Harris is a sports correspondent for Ohio Valley Publishing. Trimble Tomcats thump Eastern, 75-12 led 14-0.

Gallia Academy senior Jordan Walker signed her letter of intent Thursday night at GAHS, committing to joining the University of Rio Grande volleyball team next season. “It’s been an honor to play here,” Walker said. “This means the world to me because I love volleyball.

I look forward to watching her at Rio Grande.” Walker, who has also played on the Blue Angels varsity basketball team for the past two seasons, will likely be a key addition to the RedStorm next year. “If she can’t come in and take a position off of somebody or scare talent into them, then I don’t know who can,” Rio Grande head coach Billina Donaldson said of Walker. “We are looking forward to her coming in to compete and make us better. I am looking forward to having someone of that caliber in our program.” Jordan, who holds a 3.5 grade point average at GAHS, plans on majoring in early childhood education at URG, with a focus on special needs.

EOE �SPORTS 6B Sunday, October 18, 2015 Sunday Times-Sentinel Blue Angels sweep Jackson in SEOAL finale By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — What a way to go. In their final Southeastern Ohio Athletic League volleyball match, Gallia Academy earned a straight game victory over archrival Jackson, Thursday night in Gallia County. The Blue Angels (202, 5-1 SEOAL) — who had already wrapped up their third straight league title — trailed early in the opening game, but rallied back to take a 10-8 lead. Jackson (14-7, 2-4) regained the lead briefly at 12-11, but the Blue and White took back the advantage at 13-12. The Ironladies tied the game at 16, but never regained the lead and GAHS took the first game by a 25-17 final. The teams battled through six ties early in the second game, the final of which came at 13. GAHS outscored the Red and White 12-to-1 over the remainder of the game and took the second by a 25-14 count. Jackson built a five- Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Gallia Academy junior Jenna Meadows bumps the ball in front of fellow junior Brooke Pasquale (10) during the Blue Angels’ straight game victory over Jackson, Thursday night in Centenary. point lead in the third game, but Gallia Academy rallied all the way back to take a 22-21 lead. The Ironladies tied the game twice, but the Blue Angels held on for a 25-23 victory, which sealed the match by a 3-0 tally. “They came back and played really aggressive tonight,” second year Gallia Academy head coach Janice Rosier said of her team. “We haven’t been playing as aggressive as we did at the start of the season, we backed off, but they came back today and played our type of game.” GAHS junior Abby Wood led the Blue and White with 13 service points, including two aces, while fellow junior Carly Shriver added nine points and one ace. Brooke Pasquale and Ashton Webb both posted seven points, with two aces by Pasquale and one by Webb. Jenna Meadows finished with five points and two aces, while Grace Martin rounded out the Blue Angel service attack with two points in the win. Martin led Gallia Academy at the net with nine kills and four blocks, followed by University of Rio Grande commit Jordan Walker with eight kills. Webb finished with seven kills, Meadows added four kills and a block, Hanna Johnson posted two kills, while Shriver and Ryleigh Caldwell each had one kill. Pasquale led the GAHS defense with 27 digs, followed by Meadows with 20, while Shriver and Martin both posted 13 assists to lead the Blue and White. Jackson was led by Maddie Munn with nine points, followed by Celeste Stiltner and Brittney Smith with four each. Katie Hemsley posted three points, while Kiersten Cavender, Kinnison Donaldson and Katlynn Jackson each had one service point for the Ironladies. The Blue Angels — who also defeated Jackson in straight games on September 24, in the Apple City —have now claimed 14 straight against the Ironladies. The last time JHS defeated Gallia Academy was 2008. Prior to the match, Gallia Academy honored seniors Jordan Walker and Hanna Johnson, as well as seniors from Jackson. The 20 wins posted by the Blue Angels ties the program record for wins in a season, with the 2007 squad that finished 20-2 after losing in the opening round of the postseason. The Ohio Valley Conference and SEOAL champs are hoping for a different postseason result following this year’s historic campaign. “I’m always confident in my team, I believe in them,” Rosier said. “We’ve already reached two of our goals, and we start on the next one next week. We’ll practice hard this week and hopefully good things come.” Gallia Academy returns to action in the sectional semifinal on Wednesday, when the top-seeded Blue Angels host the winner of Monday’s Vinton County at Meigs quarterfinal tilt.

(AP) — Coach Marvin Lewis makes no apologies for playing down Cincinnati’s hot start. For all the excitement the Bengals (5-0) have generated lately with two come-from-behind wins engineered by quarterback Andy Dalton, Lewis isn’t buying in just yet. And neither, he insists, are his players. “Five games doesn’t do anything for you,” Lewis said. “These are young football players who really have a singleness of purpose and nothing outside really matters too much to them. And what do they know? They spend too much time talking on their phones and all that other stuff.” Lewis has good reason to keep his team focused as they travel to play the Buffalo Bills (3-2) on Sunday. With the Bengals bye week approaching, and a dramatic 27-24 overtime win over Seattle behind them, this is not the time to overlook an injury-depleted opponent with an aggressive Rex Ryandesigned defense. Lewis is familiar with Ryan, after the two spent three years working together in Baltimore. That doesn’t mean he has any insight into what the Bills might have in store — including whether backup EJ Manuel will start in place of Tyrod Taylor, who sprained his left knee last weekend. “Good luck to you guys figuring out Rex,” Lewis said with a laugh. As much as Ryan is keeping Lewis guessing on starters, the first-year Bills coach has worries of his own in facing what he refers to as the “the best Bengal team that I can remember.” SURGERY Defenders suffer 3-1 loss to visiting Grace at Pleasant Valley Hospital is By Bryan Walters BETTER THAN EVER with Marshall Surgery.

Marcum, of Galena, and formerly of Middleport, said the proof began when random water began to spray in her house from an unknown source around 2006. At first, Marcum thought it Marcum might be just her mind playing tricks on her, but friends and family also began to notice the random splashes of water with no discernible leak in any pipes. Marcum, who was previously a teacher, said she couldn’t pinpoint the source of the water that had been going on for two weeks at that point, and was privately asking God during her planning period what could be done about the strange occurrences at her home. “He spoke to me and He said, ‘There is nothing you can do. You are not in control,’” she said. “And with that imprint of knowledge, I knew there was a demon in the house, and there was the point in changing my mind.” This answer to Marcum was her realization that there is life beyond this one, and that her question to God was not in vain. “It proved to me that the prayer … I prayed a prayer, I was basically doubting God’s existence, and when I did that prayer three days later there was a drop on my older son’s head,” she said. “That’s what changed me. He did hear me; there is a divine presence that does hear and does understand what we’re going through. It changed everything … that I wasn’t just talking to the air like I thought.” It finally took a visit from a priest to Marcum’s home to drive away the watery demon. “The house exorcisms changed my life,” she said. Initially, the priest’s commands to send the demon away did nothing. However, when the priest returned with the Body of Christ and commanded the demon to leave, everything changed. “When he did that, there was one last splat in the hallway and it was gone,” she said. The priest’s visit to Marcum’s home also compelled Marcum to See MARCUM | 4C Holzer Senior Care marks 20th year Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Senior Care Center recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a reception and familyoriented event at the facility, featuring a performance by musical group Sonshine.

We invite the public to visit the Library on Oct. 24 when the life of Grandma Gatewood will be portrayed on both stage and screen, as we celebrate this trailblazer whose legacy serves as a true testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.” For more information on this program, contact the library at 740-446-7323 or the Visitors’ Center at 740446-6882. �LOCAL 2C Sunday, October 18, 2015 Gallipolis FFA attends state forestry contest Courtesy photo Gallipolis FFA members, from left, Lee Gaul, Beth Alley, Brittany Masters, Lee Houck and Jon McGuire recently competed in the State Forestry CDE at Hocking College in Nelsonville.
