State Highway Patrol
reports a recent Patrol
pursuit that began in Gallia County, ended in Ross
County with an arrest.
According to a news
release from the Post, on
Thursday, Dec. 30, 2021 at
4:38 p.m., troopers from the
Gallipolis Post attempted to
stop a vehicle for reportedly
driving 94 miles per hour in
a 70 zone on US Route 35.
The vehicle was momentarily lost on State Route
850 and then re-acquired
at State Route 554 in the
Village of Bidwell, the news
release reported.
The news release further
stated the vehicle reportedly ﬂed from Troopers south
on 850. Due to the “rising
danger to other motorists
present on SR850, patrol
supervisors terminated the
pursuit,” stated the news
release.
The car reportedly continued south to State Route
588 where it traveled
north to the Village of Rio
Grande. According to the
news release, Rio Grande
Police initiated a pursuit
with the car at that time.
They reportedly chased
the car west on US Route

The chase reportedly continued into Ross County
on US35 where the Ross
County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and
Chillicothe Post Troopers
joined. The patrol reportedly had spike strips ready
for deployment at the US
Route 50 exit. According
to the news release, the
driver voluntarily pulled
to the berm prior to the
stop stick location and surrendered without further
incident.
The pursuit reportedly
reached speeds in excess
of 100 miles per hour and
covered approximately 60
miles before coming to an
end, according to the news
release.

WAVERLY, Ohio — All’s well that ends well.
In a tightly-contested 4-quarter battle, it was
the Gallia Academy boys basketball team that
made a 6-0 run over the ﬁnal 1:04 of regulation to
claim a 61-56 victory over Unioto on Thursday at
the 2021 C.D. Hawhee Classic hosted by Waverly
High School at the old downtown gymnasium.
The Blue Devils (6-3) led by as many as nine

as seven points midway through the third, but the
guests made a 38-29 push after halftime to rally
back from a 4-point deﬁcit at the break.

GAHS made a 15-7 charge and ultimately secured
a 42-41 edge headed into the ﬁnale.
Unioto’s DeSean Branson netted the ﬁrst of two
free throws with 1:16 left in regulation to complete the Shermans’ 15-13 run in the fourth, giving
UHS a 56-55 edge.
Isaac Clary, however, provided his only fourth
quarter basket with 64 seconds remaining, allowing Gallia Academy to secure a permanent lead of
57-56.
GAHS went on to add the ﬁnal four points, all
on Brody Fellure free throws, to complete the
come-from-behind 5-point triumph.
The Blue Devils led 17-11 after the ﬁrst quarter
of play, but host Unioto countered with a 16-6
surge that resulted in a Sherman 27-23 lead at the
break.
UHS outrebounded Gallia Academy by a 31-29

MASON, W.Va. —
Nothing like getting a
win at home, especially
when it’s your ﬁrst.
The Wahama boys basketball team got its ﬁrst
home win of the 2021-22
season with a 56-36 victory against the Eastern
Eagles Thursday evening.
The ﬁrst few minutes
of Thursday’s ballgame
was very defense-heavy,

quite getting their shots
to land.
The White Falcons
(4-2) slowly made their
way up the scoreboard,
capitalizing on the
Eagles’ (0-10) mistakes.
The White and Red
ended the ﬁrst quarter on
a 8-0 scoring run, going
into the second with a
15-5 lead.
The home team kept
the momentum going
into the second quarter,
scoring a further ﬁve
points before the Eagles
could get another basket.
The White Falcons
kept their lead going with
their 3-point shooting,
scoring many of their
attempts from behind the
arch.
Towards the end of the
ﬁrst half, the Eagles started a small comeback, netting 7-consecutive points,
but the White Falcons hit
two free throws to enter
halftime up 28-14.

on the right foot, scoring ﬁve quick points to

The Harriers led
only brieﬂy in the early
part of the contest and

mounting a comeback
effort.
The deﬁcit was sliced
to eight points, 38-30,
by halftime and erased
altogether when a layup

with 12:05 remaining
in the game gave the

Pictured is water along White Road off of Ohio 160 on Saturday

weekend and affected some area roads. As of Monday, the Ohio
River was predicted to crest below flood stages in Gallia, as well as
neighboring Mason and Meigs counties.

Boosters
From page 1

as early as ﬁve months
after their last dose rather
than six months.
FDA vaccine chief Dr.
Peter Marks said even
though serious illness is
uncommon in younger
teens, a booster will help
them avoid that risk —
while also helping reduce
the spread of omicron or
any other coronavirus
mutant.
“Hopefully this will be
not just a call for people
to go get their booster
shot,” but for the tens of
millions of unvaccinated
Americans to rethink that
choice, Marks said. “It’s
not too late to start to get
vaccinated.”
The FDA based its latest booster decision largely on real-world data from
Israel that found no new
safety concerns when
6,300 12- to 15-year-olds
got a Pﬁzer booster ﬁve
months after their second
dose.
Likewise, the FDA
said even more data
from Israel showed no
problems with giving anyone eligible for a Pﬁzer
booster that extra dose
a month sooner than the
six months that until now
has been U.S. policy.
The chief safety question for younger teens is
a rare side effect called
myocarditis, a type of
heart inﬂammation
seen mostly in younger
men and teen boys who
get either the Pﬁzer or
Moderna vaccines. The
vast majority of cases are
mild — far milder than
the heart inﬂammation
caused by COVID-19 —
and they seem to peak in
older teens, the 16- and

Pike, Gallipolis, Ohio. For additional

17-year-olds.
Marks said the side
effect occurs in about 1
in 10,000 men and boys
ages 16 to 30 after their
second shot — but that
a third dose appears less
risky, by about a third.
That’s probably because
more time has passed
before the booster than
between the ﬁrst two
shots, he said.
While the FDA didn’t
consult its independent
scientiﬁc advisers before
making that decision,
the CDC’s own advisory
panel is sure to closely
weigh how much beneﬁt
this age group is likely
to get before backing the
extra shot.
Vaccines still offer
strong protection against
serious illness from any
type of COVID-19. But
health authorities are
urging everyone who’s
eligible to get a booster
dose for their best chance
at avoiding milder breakthrough infections from
the highly contagious
omicron mutant.
Children tend to suffer
less serious illness from
COVID-19 than adults.
But child hospitalizations
are rising during the
omicron wave — most of
them unvaccinated.
Pediatrician and global
health expert Dr. Philip
Landrigan of Boston College welcomed the FDA’s
decisions, but stressed
that the main need is to
get the unvaccinated their
ﬁrst shots.
“It is among unvaccinated people that most
of the severe illness and
death from COVID will
occur in coming weeks,”
he said in an email.
“Many thousands of lives
could be saved if people
could persuade themselves to get vaccinated.”
