Pomeroy to apply
for funding to fix
West Main Street
By Kayla Hawthorne
Special to the Sentinel

POMEROY — The
Pomeroy Village Council approved applying
for funding to ﬁx the
road on West Main
Street at the lower end
of the village during
their meeting last week.
The patch of road
that borders Middleport has been repaired
several times by adding
more asphalt, but the
road keeps sinking.
Pomeroy Mayor Don
Anderson said the road
has drainage under it,
which causes the holes
to appear, making the
road rough. Council
believes the last time
the road was paved
correctly was 25 to
30 years ago. Council
unanimously passed a
resolution to apply for
funding from the Ohio
Public Works Commission (OPWC) to
properly ﬁx the road.
The village is asking for
$300,000 from OPWC
and they will take out a
zero interest loan in the
amount of $100,000.
Bob Snavely from
Palmer Energy updated
council on the proposals for the natural gas
aggregation. Snavely
recommended selecting Volunteer Energy,
which is the current gas
supplier for the village.
For the past 12 months,
Snavely said residents
in the village could
have saved an annual
amount of $73. This
would have been an
annual saving of $1,450
for the community.
The exact estimated
amount of savings is
unknown due to the
unknown market cost
of natural gas. Council
made no decision on a
gas supplier, but authorized Snavely to move
forward with proposals
and discussions with
potential suppliers.
Aaron Dagres from
the United States
Census Bureau spoke
to council on the
importance of getting
everyone counted in
the 2020 Census. Dagres said it is estimated
that 20.7 percent of
people living in the Village of Pomeroy will

not respond and will
not be counted. According to Dagres, having
a correct and complete
count on the 2020
Census is important
for apportionment and
redistricting in politics,
funding allotment, and
planning for businesses.
The 2020 Census will
be the ﬁrst year that the
form can be completed
online, but people can
still respond by mail
or on the telephone.
Dagres said the online
form is one of the most
secure systems. Every
household will receive
a personalized code in
the mail that can be
used only once. The
Meigs County Commissioners created a Complete Count Committee
(CCC) with Dagres
in June and the chairperson is Chris Shank.
The CCC will help educate the public on the
importance of responding to the Cencus and
will help to protect
everyone from potential
online scams.
Council unanimously
approved the fourth
payment of the 833
Sewer Project. Payment was made in the
amount of $32,228.83.
Jill Cochran
approached council
about issues at Beech
Grove Cemetery.
Cochran has a child
buried at the cemetery
and said the mowing,
weed eating and spraying has been destructive and disrespectful.
Cochran said the ﬂowers at her son’s grave
were cut off in May and
dead weed trimmings
have consistently been
thrown on top of the
landscaping she has in
front of his stone. In
the beginning of June,
Mayor Don Anderson
authorized the mowing contractor to spray
weed killer around the
around grave stones,
but not ﬂowers or
trees. Cochran showed
pictures from the beginning of August to council of her son’s grave.
The grass was dead in
large sections. Anderson said he would take
the blame for the dead

Splash Pad opens in Racine

By Lorna Hart

Special to the Sentinel

RACINE — The newest addition to Star Mill Park in Racine
opened last week just in time
for some use by local residents
before they headed back to school
on Friday.
According to Racine Mayor

Scott Hill, the ofﬁcial opening
for the water park will be held in
September during Party in the
Park.
“We wanted kids to have an
opportunity to enjoy the water
park before school started, so it
is operational, we just haven’t had
the opening ceremony,” Hill said.
The area around the park has

been seeded and grass is beginning to grow; visitors are asked
to avoid walking on the straw.
“Please use the sidewalks so
the grass will have a chance to
grow,” Hill said. “And enjoy the
water this weekend.”

Cubmaster Brenda

the scouts are required

seemed like an appropriate project for the boys.
The pack currently has
eight members representing Eastern, Meigs

30 years of STEM learning celebrated
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — Sky Green,
daughter of Amanda Clark of Albany,
Ohio, was one of 36 high school students attending the 30th annual High
School Summer Math-Science-Technology Institute in Oak Ridge.
The high school students joined
teachers selected from across 10 Appalachian states to spend two weeks, July
6-19, fully engaged in math, science,
engineering and technology (STEM),
including learning experiences at one
of the country’s leading national laboratories.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and ORAU hosted the
exceptional learning experience. Governor Mike DeWine nominated Green, a
student at Meigs High School, to attend
this accelerated learning program. She
was selected based on her potential to
excel in math and science and to continue in higher learning.
Since 2000, the program has provided
this opportunity to a total of 720 students and 299 teachers.
Students and teachers participated
in research projects led by ORNL
scientists and mentors. Green and
teammates investigated supercomputers, robotics systems or engineering
development. The teachers focused on
chemical sciences, neutron sciences,
molecular biophysics and cytogenetic
biodosimetry. Students and teach-

ers were given the opportunity to ask
questions during discovery sessions at
the national laboratory, in addition to
spending the two week experience networking with scientists and mentors.
“The ARC-ORNL Summer Institute
is often the ﬁrst extensive exposure
many of these students have to STEM
ﬁelds,” said Tim Thomas, ARC Federal Co Chair. “Every year, alumnae
from the program tell us about how
their time with the Summer Institute
at ORNL have helped them reach academic goals and have inspired a lifetime
of learning.”
“Many exciting opportunities open
up for participants in the High School
Summer Math-Science-Technology
Institute and Middle School Summer
Science Academy. Often, participants
develop a new interest in STEM subjects and then continue to pursue
STEM careers. Teachers gain a renewed
passion for promoting STEM subjects
with knowledge of emerging sciences
and technologies,” said Chris Nelson
who manages the program for ORAU.
During this year’s educational sessions, participants toured the historic
Graphite Reactor, High Flux Isotope
Reactor, and ORNL research and supercomputing facilities. By visiting East
Tennessee’s iconic science and research
facilities, students were introduced to
the broad realm of career possibilities in
STEM ﬁelds.

Athens campus students can
download new campus safety app
ATHENS — A new
mobile application to
promote safety and provide resources to Ohio
University students is
now available as a pilot
for students, faculty and
staff on the Athens campus to download.
Bobcat Safe, available in the Apple App
Store and on Google
Play, offers more than
50 features, including
emergency resources,
advanced location services, interactive maps,
crime reporting and an
unlimited number of
push notiﬁcations for
the University’s Athens
campus.
OUPD Chief of
Police Andrew Powers
explained that Student
Senate approached
OUPD last year with
the idea for a cell phone
app that would make
OUPD’s services more
readily available.
In Fall 2018, students
were surveyed to select
an app that would

best ﬁt their needs.
The selected product,
AppArmor, is a customized mobile safety app
branded speciﬁcally for
Ohio University.
“I thought it was an
excellent idea since cell
phones have become
ubiquitous and we do
not see the standing
‘blue light’ phones getting used as they were
intended,” Powers said.
“The Bobcat Safe app
will allow any OHIO student or employee with a
cell phone on the Athens
campus to have emergency resources and
information at their ﬁngertips while on campus.
We are excited to make
this technology available
as a pilot and are thankful to Student Senate,
Information Technology,
Student Affairs, Emergency Management, and
Communications and
Marketing for their collaboration and efforts
to implement this solution.”

According to Alicia
Lundy-Morse, vice president of Student Senate,
Bobcat Safe is going to
be the central space for
information regarding
safety on campus. She
pointed out the app has
a “walk with a friend”
feature for users to have
a friend watch them
walk home.
“Bobcat Safe will be a
great tool for students
on the Athens campus
to feel safer and more
informed about campus
resources,” she added.
“Student Senate is
extremely grateful for
the opportunity that
we had to serve on this
committee and be the
student voice through
the process of getting
the app up and running.”
Bobcat Safe will be
piloted on the Athens
campus during the 201920 school year. The University will continue to
explore expansion to the
regional campuses after
the pilot concludes.

Halloween?
Please …
not yet

In slightly over two months, little Trick-or-Treaters
will visit your front porch for a ﬁstful of candy. But,
if you have visited your local grocery store lately, you
would never know it’s that far away.
A few days ago, as we walked into
Kroger, I noticed Halloween decorations and candy are already for sale.
It has been widely reported that
Halloween is now the second most
popular holiday, coming in just behind
Christmas. People now drive around

tions. Halloween decorations are
columnist
becoming almost as popular as the
lights of Christmas.
As a Christian, I treasure the celebration of the
birth of the Christ child. As a person who enjoys a
good scary story about things that go-bump-in-thenight, I also enjoy Halloween. Over the years, we
have made beggar’s night a family-fun-night at the
Riley household.
Our kids always visit and bring the grandchildren
with them. While we pass out candy and have fun
with the ghosts and goblins who visit us, our grandchildren trick-or-treat around our entire neighborhood.
Debbie always makes tasty sandwiches and macaroni and cheese. We always have several gallons of
apple cider heated up and ready for neighbors who
are walking their kids from house-to-house.
The kids leave our house with candy and the
adults walk away with a go-cup of spiced apple
cider. It’s always a fun evening.
Whether a person believes in ghosts or not, it’s
not hard to admit that some strange things have
happened.
I recall a few evenings in the early 1970s when
several of us would gather at a friend’s house. We
sat, laughed and talked for hours. Then Diana wanted to try out a Ouija board she had recently gotten.
After a few more nights, I felt that we were
being guided down a path I did not want to follow.
Frankly, I was getting a little scared by some of the
strange things that were happening. So, I quit going
and resolved never again to sit with a Ouija board
on my lap. That is a resolution I have kept.
My own Mother was very sensitive to mystical
things. Mom was once visiting a friend in an old
country home that she and her husband had just
purchased. Her friend was giving Mom the grand
tour.
As Mom explained it, they were walking side-byside up the wide, wooden stairs to see the upstairs
rooms. Mom saw a little girl sitting on one of the
steps, so she dropped back and stepped to one side
to get around her.
As they chatted in one of the upstairs bedrooms,
Mom’s friend told her that the previous owner
thought the house might be haunted. She told about
sounds and whispers that could be heard at night.
Supposedly, a child had died on the farm due to a
freakish accident. She told Mom that a few people
even claimed to have seen a young blonde girl in a
gingham dress wandering around the house.
Mom asked, “Like the little girl sitting on the
stairs?” With a shocked look on her face, Mom’s
friend turned and said, “What little girl?”
We have friends who talk candidly about the old
lady who lives upstairs. Shortly after they moved
into their nice home at the edge of town, they heard
footsteps upstairs. They both heard it.
After a little investigation, they found out that a
previous owner (a little old lady) had died in the
house. Our friends have resigned themselves to
sharing the house with … whoever, or whatever, is
upstairs.
John once told me that he was sitting in their living room reading. He heard some steps that seemed
to be a little bit different. He looked up and saw an
apparition standing at the bottom of the stairs.
It startled him. He quickly turned back to his
book. As he turned to look again, the foggy shape of
an old woman started to disappear. Before his own
eyes, the shape dissolved like a mist.
The tradition of Halloween began around 2,000
years ago. The ancient Celtics of Ireland and Great
Britain celebrated their new year on November 1.
They believed that on the evening before the new
year the lines between the world of the living and
the dead became blurred.
Bad things could happen to people on that night
because of the ease with which the dead could reenter the world of the living. Bonﬁres were lit to ward
away evil spirits. Costumes were worn to confuse
the dead and to protect the living.
Over the centuries, the traditions started by the
Celtics have morphed into our celebration of Halloween.
Are there spirits out there just waiting to haunt
us? Is Halloween different than any other night of
the year?
I’m not sure. It may be scary to some people, but
not to others.
However, it is becoming quite annoying that all
of our holiday celebrations are now starting months
before the holiday actually arrives.

Grant to support makers and entrepreneurs
Commissioners initially
awarded a $60,000 grant
to the two programs last
year to purchase new
equipment for the Additive Manufacturing Lab.
“The county supports
efforts to foster businesses and careers in manufacturing to provide our
citizens with greater economic opportunities,”
said Athens County
Commissioner Lenny
Eliason. “The Innovation
Center creates companies we have supported
through economic development efforts. Now,
this new equipment and
training allows us to
support even more new
businesses.”
The IC’s Additive

equipment includes
three 3D printers, a
desktop mill, a portable 3D scanner and
a vacuum former. The
equipment allows the
regional community and

university to design prototypes and manufacture
products on demand.
Users can either order
professional print jobs
from the IC for a fee or
can learn how to use the
printers and associated
pieces of equipment in a
guided one-on-one session for free. Completed
products can be ordered
at ohio3dprints.com.
The equipment is part
of a broader plan to create an infrastructure to
support manufacturing

long, laborious comeback
journey jeopardized his
future, he believed walking away from the sport
and potentially hundreds
of millions of dollars was
the only logical choice.
“For the last four years
or so, I’ve been in this
cycle of injury, pain, rehab
— injury, pain, rehab —
and it’s been unceasing,
unrelenting, both in season and off season,” Luck
said following Saturday
night’s loss to the Chicago Bears. “I felt stuck in
it, and the only way I see
out is to no longer play
football. It’s taken my joy
of this game away.”
The announcement and
the timing — two weeks
before the Indianapolis
Colts’ season opener
against the Los Angeles
Chargers — shocked the
football world.
But this was not a spurof-the-moment decision.
After three injuryplagued seasons, Luck
returned last year with
a new perspective about
the physical pain, mental
fatigue and emotional
agony it took to keep
ﬁghting his way back.
Late last summer, he
described his state of
mind throughout the continual rehab with words
such as “sad,” ”miserable”
and “scared.”
Last month, as the lingering pain in his lower
left leg forced him off the
practice ﬁeld yet again,

Luck told reporters that
he promised himself
after playing through the
shoulder pain in 2016
and missing the entire
2017 season, he would be
honest with himself, his
coaches, teammates and
the organization about
how his body felt.
At the time, Luck said
he thought even limited
practices were detrimental to himself and the
team.
“It took great courage
to make his decision to
walk away from the game,
but no matter how difﬁcult he did what his heart
told him and I am proud
of him for being honest
with himself and the
team,” said former Colts
coach Chuck Pagano,
now the defensive coordinator for the Bears.
“With Andrew it was
always about more than
football.”
While some fans booed
Luck as he left the ﬁeld
Saturday night, other
players supported him.
They understand how
dangerous and debilitating the sport can be,
which is why some are
quitting at earlier ages.
Luck just happens to be
the biggest name yet on
that expanding list.
“I think it takes an
immense amount of courage, an immense amount
of self-reﬂection and a lot
of guts to do what he is
doing,” Houston defensive end J.J. Watt said.
“I am sure people have
their ways of looking at it
and their ways of trying
to say what they would
do in his shoes. But the
truth is, no one is in his

shoes. Nobody has to go
through what he has had
to go through. Nobody
has been through the
rehab and the injuries. …
I respect the hell out of
it. I think it takes a whole
lot to walk away from a
ton of money like that.”
Colts owner Jim Irsay
estimates Luck could
have made as much as
$500 million if he lasted
as long as Brett Favre,
Tom Brady or Peyton
Manning, Luck’s predecessor.
But Luck was never in
it for the money or the
fame — like others who
left the game on their
terms and in their prime.
Barry Sanders retired
at age 31 after winning
four NFL rushing titles
and within reach of
breaking Walter Payton’s
career rushing record. At
age 30, Calvin Johnson
called it quits after his
sixth straight Pro Bowl
appearance. Jim Brown
walked away at age 30 for
a budding movie career,
less than a year after winning his third and ﬁnal
MVP award.
They never came back,
and Luck said he doesn’t
anticipate a return, either,
though he’s young enough
to do it.
Many others, such as
Hall of Famers Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis,
were forced out by injuries or age.
Luck seems to be a
combination of the two,
largely the result of a
porous offensive line that
allowed the top overall
draft pick in 2012 to take
more hits than any quarterback in the league dur-

ing his ﬁrst ﬁve seasons.
He was good enough to
lead the Colts to playoff
appearances in each of his
ﬁrst three seasons, the
2014 AFC Championship
game and orchestrate the
second-largest comeback
in playoff history. And
when he returned healthy
last season, he took the
Colts back to the playoffs
and was a runaway winner in the league’s Comeback Player of the Year
award balloting.
It just wasn’t enough
for Luck.
“We all expect we’re
going to play this game
forever,” Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said.
“The reality is for most
players, it’s not very long.
No matter how good we
are, or whatever it may
be, there’s life after this
game, too. I think that’s a
thing we always have to
balance and always have
to weigh.”
Luck is the sixth quarterback of the 11 selected
in 2012 out of football.
Wilson and Nick Foles,
both third-round picks
that year, own Super
Bowl rings. Kirk Cousins,
a fourth-rounder, is the
starter in Minnesota.
The other two still
around — Robert Grifﬁn
III and Ryan Tannehill
— had promising careers
derailed by injuries, too.
Grifﬁn, the No. 2 pick
who played high school
football in Texas like Luck
and beat Luck out for the
2011 Heisman Trophy
award, is ﬁghting for a
roster spot in Baltimore.
Tannehill, the No. 8 pick,
is the backup to Marcus
Mariota in Tennessee.

Vegas set to bid to host numerous NCAA events
NEW YORK (AP) —
Las Vegas is going to
take a chance on hosting
major college sporting
events.
The city is set to bid
on nearly a half dozen
different NCAA championship events, including
women’s basketball.
The NCAA will start
accepting bids Monday
on nearly two dozen
sports championships
over all three divisions.
This is the ﬁrst year that
Las Vegas is eligible to
bid after the governing
body for college sports
indeﬁnitely suspended

a ban last year that prevented events from being
hosted in states that
accept wagers on single
games.
George Kliavkoff, who
is MGM’s President
of Entertainment and
Sports, told The Associated Press last week that
his group — in conjunction with the Las Vegas
Convention and Visitor
Authority — plan on
bidding to host women’s
basketball as well as at
least ﬁve other sports.
Those could include the
Frozen Four, wrestling
and women’s volleyball

“We’re looking for

Sports that attract lots
of fans and some places
we can reconﬁgure the
way the events are held

said.
Kliavkoff thinks Las
Vegas is positioned well
for women’s basketball
and its potential new
regional format. The
NCAA women’s basketball committee suggested
earlier this month changing the format for the
regionals starting in 2023
by having two cities host

to with direct non-stop
ﬂights from almost
everywhere in the country.”
Moving to a two-site
format, the committee
noted, would elevate and
enhance the student-athlete experience, enhance
broadcast coverage,
create opportunity for
growth of the sport and
championship, build
the brand of women’s
basketball and expand
programming targeting
strategic plan initiatives
that were announced in
the NCAA Women’s Basketball Strategic Plan.

“We’ll see how it falls
out as bids come in,”
NCAA vice president for
women’s basketball Lynn
Holzman said. “It’s new
ground we’re treading.
Moving from four to two
sites for regionals.”
While Holzman
wouldn’t say whether
Las Vegas has a leg-up
on other cities, she is
very familiar with basketball tournaments
being played there. She
was commissioner of the
West Coast Conference,
which has played its
tournament in Las Vegas
for the last decade.
