Water
budget an
issue in
Middleport
By Erin Perkins
eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com

Meigs County is Friday, May 18, from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Rutland River of
Life Church, 37028 State Route 124
in Rutland. Services are available
to all women, uninsured, underinsured or insured. Appointments are
required and women should call 740593-2432 or 1-800-844-2654.

MIDDLEPORT —
The Middleport Council
recently met for its regularly scheduled meeting
discussing the water
department budget and
an upcoming public meeting.
Village Administrator
Joe Woodall told council
the water budget is not in
good shape as the prices
for materials and projects
continually increase.
Woodall explained the village has been fortunate to
receive grants and funding through the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), but just this year
alone $20,000 worth of
repairs had to be made.
Fiscal Ofﬁcer Sue
Baker added a few years
ago the appointed council decided to do away
with a 3 percent inﬂation increase on water
and sewage payments.
She said the village is in
good hands with Woodall with his experience
and certiﬁcation, so the
money management is
being done properly, but
without the village having an inﬂation increase
on water and sewage,
the budget is not ﬁscally
sound.
Baker and Woodall
suggested a 9 percent
increase to water and
sewage payments with
an additional 3 percent
increase on Jan. 1, 2019.
Woodall commented the
average total increase
would be between $5-$7
on residents’ bills.
Council Member Emerson Heighton requested
Baker send the ﬁgures of
the water department’s
budget to the council, so
they may look over the
information.
The council will
address the issue at the
next regularly scheduled
meeting.
Woodall stated a public
meeting will be held at
the Middleport Village
Ofﬁces, Tuesday, May
29, 6 p.m. to discuss
phase two of the sewer
project in order to bring
residents up to par. He
said the last bit of pipe is
being laid for phase one
of the project.
In other business, Jail
Administrator Mony
Wood discussed with
council the need for a pay
increase once correctional
ofﬁcers are certiﬁed.
The council approved to
give correctional ofﬁcers
a $0.50 pay increase to
their start pay of $9.75
upon completion of certiﬁcation that must be done
within a year. If a correctional ofﬁcer is hired
and already certiﬁed, the
ofﬁcer will have a starting
pay of $10.25.
Police Chief Bruce
Swift shared the Middleport Police Department
will be undergoing Crisis
Intervention Training
(CTI) as well as a search
warrant prep. Swift added
in early June ofﬁcers

Rio Alumni ‘Storm the Schools’
By Jessica Patterson
Special to the Sentinel

RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande and Rio
Grande Community College are
taking the initiative to educate
young students in Southeast
Ohio about college readiness.
Because of programs such as
College Credit Plus, which
provides eligible high school
students the chance to enroll
in college courses, the faculty,
staff and administration at Rio
believe it is never too early to
begin preparing students for
higher education. Director
of Alumni Relations Delyssa
Edwards said she feels it is
important for Rio to provide
this information to the youth of
the community.
“Higher education is an
important topic, and it’s never
too early to start thinking
about the future. Choosing college can be a tough decision,
and waiting until the last minute to start looking into different schools and programs will
make it even harder. College
readiness and being prepared
from an earlier age can help the
students and their families ﬁnd

is such a staple for the community and we want to set a
positive example of higher education for children in the area.
We’re a very community-minded institution and want to help

the children in our community
succeed in their futures. From
my own experience, I know college readiness helped me look
through different schools and
programs close to home, and
I found the quiet, small town
atmosphere I was looking for

in Rio. Being prepared really
made that decision easier for
me.”
Mattie Lanham, a 2017 graduate from Rio’s Bunce School

Hemlock Grange holds May meeting
HEMLOCK GROVE —
Kim Romine opened the
May meeting of Hemlock
Grange following the
prayer, pledge to the ﬂag
and patriotic song.
It was noted that several members of Hemlock Grange were at the
Pomona Grange Banquet.
During the dinner awards
were announced. Rosalie
Story of Hemlock Grange
was announced as teacher
of the year. Ray Mid-

kiff of Star Grange was
announced as ﬁreﬁghter
of the year and Charlene
Hoeﬂich was named community leader of the year.
Barbara and Jim Fry
thanked Rosalie Johnson
for helping box up everything that went to state.
They had 22 pounds of
pop tabs, 44 pair and
cases of used eye glasses,
2,385 used hearing aide
batteries, four pair of new
gloves, ﬁve toboggans

and one scarf for Ohio
School for the Deaf.
Margaret Parker,
lecturer, presented a
program on Memorial Day, originally
called Decoration Day.
Memorial Day is a day of
remembrance for those
who have died in service
or the United States of
America. Shortly before
Memorial Day in 1922

TOPS holds meeting
TUPPERS PLAINS — TOPS
OH#2013, Tuppers Plains met at the
St Paul’s United Methodist Church
with Pat Snedden, Leader, calling the
meeting to order with members saying
the TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly)
and KOPS pledges. The KOPS (Keep
off Pounds Sensibly) members were
given applause for accomplishment of
weight goal maintenance. All recited
the Pledge of Allegiance in unison.
TOPS songs, “You are My TOPS
Pal” and “Diet Diet” were led by Cindy
Hyde. Snedden asked for roll call.
Roberta Henderson, weight recorder
called each member’s name, with 13
members reported in. This is the time
that each person tells whether they
have lost, gained or maintained the
same weight for the week. Pounds
amounts are not required and no
member is ever shamed for a gain but
instead given encouragement. This
Roll Call is a very important part of the
TOPS group therapy process.
Best loser for the week was Mary
Beth Morrison. She received the weekly best loser fruit basket and a certiﬁcate for her accomplishment.
April Perfect Attendance awards
were given to Mary Rankin, Pat Snedden, Glenda Hunt and Roberta Henderson. Those receiving recognition
for Food and Exercise Charts for April
were Mary Rankin, Pat Snedden and
Glenda Hunt.
The Secretary’s report was given
by Glenda Hunt and was without corrections or additions. The Treasure’s
report was given by Judy Morgan.
The “Card Game” has begun: This is
where each member is given a regular
deck card for losing weight, staying for
the support meeting, keeping a food
chart, exercising and for encouraging
another member. Points will be scored
and the one with the most points will
win and receive a prize. The contest
will end June 11. The group’s other
ongoing longstanding game is “The
Marble Game”. It continues as inspiration for members to lose or maintain
their weight goal.
It was announced by Snedden that
Kathy McDaniel has reached her doctors prescribed weight goal. She is now

a KOPS. The group congratulated her.
The doctors prescribed weight goal is
obtained when a member joins TOPS.
This is a part of TOPS healthy choice
lifestyle where each member is on her
individual journey toward goal but the
goal is decided by his/her physician in
determining what is best for them.
Fundraiser ideas were discussed and
it was announced that Fruit/Vegetable
Bingo will be on June 4.
Pat led group therapy: “How Sweet
Do We Eat?” This program was to
impress upon members how much
sugar that we consume daily without
personally adding it. These are the sugars that are in the prepared food that
we eat. Connie Rankin assisted Pat in
the actual measuring of sugar into a
bowl and it was determined that the
average American eats approximately 2
cups of sugar daily, which equals about
1,452 calories. This is more than 90
teaspoons a day. The types of sugars
and carbohydrate grams were also discussed. Different members discussed
their individual eating choices prior
to joining the weight loss journey and
then made the comparison to how they
make different choices in eating now.
Ideas were discussed on how to curb
sugar addiction and reduce sugar in
one’s diet.
Longtime KOPS, Nola Easterling
told of an informative article that she
had read, “It’s not what but when
you eat it”. Members discussed the
importance of the time of day in food
consumption and how anything after
6 p.m. seems to thwart or discourage
weight loss/maintenance. Once again,
all agreed that results are individual
but that ongoing group therapy was
essential in the journey.
Because laughter is truly the best
medicine Pat shared a funny story.
The meeting was then adjourned
with the “Helping Hand” circle.
For more information about TOPS
or about joining the chapter’s support
meetings call Snedden at 740-5419696. The weekly meetings are on
Monday at 6 p.m. and last about an
hour.

Fruth Pharmacy donates to Mason County Baby Pantry
POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Fruth Pharmacy
held its third annual Baby
Face Event on March 24
and thanks to generous
customers and employees, Fruth was able to
raise over $7,000 for local
baby charities chain-wide.
Fruth Pharmacy in
Point Pleasant, W.Va.
had the largest amount
of donations during the
corporate wide event –
donations were estimated
at over $2,740.
Lynne Fruth, president
of Fruth Pharmacy met
with Bree Ramey and Jassica Legg of the Mason
County Baby Pantry to
present the donations.
“We had a lot of help
from our customers,”

Julye Knox, manager at
Fruth Pharmacy in Point
Pleasant began, “we also
have a great team here
– both pharmacy and
front-end sales staff members gladly participated
to help collect items for
the Mason County Baby
Pantry.”
“It’s a great feeling to
see a store take an event
and truly care about
it,” Barbara Taylor, category manager for Fruth
Pharmacy shared, “I am
very grateful to all of
the store employees that
help drive this collection
each year for the Mason
County Baby Pantry. Our
customers’ support with
this event helps provide
many families items they

need to help take care of
their children. This store,
its employees, and customers, went above and
beyond for their organization.”
The Mason Baby
Pantry is located at Bellemead United Methodist
Church.
“We started the Pantry
to help ﬁll in the gaps,”
Bree Ramey, director
of the Mason County
Baby Pantry explained.
“Many people get help
for formula – but they
don’t get help for things
like diapers, wipes, or
car seats. We saw a need
in our community and
have worked hard to help.
This donation from Fruth
Pharmacy will help a lot.”

THEIR VIEW

30 years later, a
school shooting
survivor looks back
The kids are in their late 30s now, the secondgraders who survived when a young woman burst
into their classroom in Winnetka, Ill., in May 1988
and opened ﬁre, killing one student
and wounding ﬁve others.
Eric

most disturbing — a nightmare
columnist
visited upon a wealthy suburban
enclave that dominated the national
news for several days.
A disturbed daughter of privilege, Laurie Dann,
30, ﬁrst went on a rampage through the North
Shore, leaving poisoned traps and setting a ﬁre.
Then she targeted Hubbard Woods Elementary
School apparently at random before taking her
own life during a standoff with police.
Those living here at the time generally remember Dann, as well as Nick Corwin, the lone fatality,
for whom a Winnetka park is named. But as the
years have passed and the Hubbard Woods shooting has been eclipsed by so many other school
shootings with so many more fatalities, the others
involved have been largely forgotten.
Peter Munro has given them a voice.
Munro, now 38 and a licensed clinical social
worker at Rush University Medical Center, recently posted a nearly 15,400-word autobiographical
essay at his website, livingaftertrauma.com. It
describes not only his recovery from gunshot
wounds to the stomach and hand, but also his subsequent struggles with depression, anxiety, fear,
shame and alcohol abuse related to the attack.
He doesn’t remember the moment Dann opened
ﬁre after she failed to persuade a substitute teacher to gather the children together — “just a feeling
of disorganization, intensity and terror” — but
his memories of blood pulsing from his wounds as
he crawled for the exit remain vivid, along with
the frustrations and pain associated with the ﬁve
weeks he spent in the hospital that summer.
“I was not going to tell anyone how much it
affected me,” he wrote. “I was going to move on. I
saw no other choice. To me it felt like that is what
everyone needed. …
“Dealing with shame and anger has been a big
part of my recovery,” he wrote. “I felt ashamed
for causing pain to people when I told my story.
I felt shame that I survived and my friend (Nick
Corwin) didn’t. I felt ashamed for being different. I felt ashamed for the idea that people in the
community would ask my siblings, ‘How’s Peter
doing? No, how is he really doing?’ like I should
be messed up. It made me angry that I was expected to have problems because of what someone did
to me.”
But he did have problems. During his freshman
year at the University of Southern California, a
mock kidnapping staged as an initiation ritual
by his fraternity brothers provoked such panic in
him that he rushed to a second-story balcony and
jumped off. He later suffered severe abdominal
blockage likely related to intestinal scarring from
his bullet wounds, and he found great difﬁculty
sustaining intimate relationships. One of the therapists he saw intermittently persuaded him at last,
more than 15 years after the shooting, that he was
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
As we rage at the perpetrators and mourn the
dead, we tend to forget the survivors.
Munro reached out to me last year because I
co-authored a book about the tragedy, “Murder
of Innocence,” published in 1990. The title referenced the painful end of certain illusions of
safety and tranquility, but Munro’s essay — at
his request I critiqued an early draft — was a
reminder of how lingering and deep such pain
can be for those who can’t simply gradually put it
behind them.
“What you did changed my life forever and I
hate you for it,” he wrote in a searing passage
directed at his deceased assailant. “Now I have
to tell a disturbing story all the time and it’s all
because of you. I don’t want to disturb people. … I
resent that I’m lucky to be alive. I just want to be
alive.”
But in the end there is uplift. He’s now married and the father of a 17-month-old daughter.
And he’s come to see his reckoning as something
potentially useful to those who have endured all
sorts of trauma, not just the depressingly large
number of those who have lived through school
shootings.
“I can own that something terrible happened
to me, but that it has also made me a person who
feels deeply and has strong empathy,” he wrote. “I
have become closer with those I love after accepting and being able to communicate how much I
have been affected by getting shot.”
In a closing passage titled “A note of encouragement,” Munro addresses other survivors, including his former classmates with whom he is not in
touch:
“Your feelings will not destroy you, avoiding
them will. … Moving forward is not forgetting the
past. … What happened to you made this hard to
do, but do it anyway. … Try to tell your story. Try
to understand how what happened to you affected
you.”

Cavaliers guards
Smith, Hill
horrible in Game 2
CLEVELAND (AP) — J.R. Smith reached out,
placed his hands on Al Horford’s back and shoved
Boston’s big man out of bounds.
It was the only time Smith was on target.
Smith’s shoddy performance in Game 2 — he
missed all seven shots and committed a ﬂagrant
foul in 27 forgettable minutes — underscored a
startling disparity between Cleveland’s and Boston’s starting backcourts that allowed the fearless
Celtics to withstand a brilliant, 42-point effort by
LeBron James and take a 2-0 series lead.
Smith and point guard George Hill were outscored 41-3 by Boston’s Jaylen Brown and Terry
Rozier, who were faster, hungrier and maybe
tougher.
“I don’t think tougher,” Smith said afterward,
showing better defensive instincts than during
the game. “They made shots, we missed shots at
the end of the day. We had some good looks, they
didn’t fall. For them playing on their home court,
they fell. It’s a matter for us to bounce back, go
home, try and get (win) two, even the series up
and come back here.”
Thanks to the NBA’s odd scheduling, Game 3 is
not until Saturday, giving Cavs coach Tyronn Lue
plenty of time to consider tweaks to his starting
lineup and rotations. After a 25-point lambasting in the opener, Lue altered his frontcourt by
putting Tristan Thompson with the ﬁrst ﬁve and
bringing Kyle Korver off the bench.
The moves worked as Thompson provided
needed energy and Korver knocked down four
3-pointers and had Boston’s defense focused on
more than James.
Now, Lue has to ponder another shake-up.
One option is to re-insert Korver at small forward, sit Hill and slide James to the point, where
he typically plays anyway but where he’ll be more
susceptible to double teams and will have to work
harder than he is already.
Another possibility is to drop Smith, who is 2 of
16 from the ﬁeld and missed all seven 3-pointers,
from the starting lineup, but that would be risky
because of his mercurial nature. Sit him and risk
never getting him back.
Lue is willing to live with Smith’s streakiness —
he went 6 for 6 in Game 4 against the Raptors —
but what he can’t afford are the defensive lapses
that led to slow rotations and gave Rozier and
others wide-open looks in Game 2. Smith has been
locked in defensively throughout the postseason,
so Lue is assuming he’ll get it together.

Cavs
From page 6

Lue’s decision not to
play guard Jordan Clarkson for a single minute
in Game 2 was curious,
mostly because Clarkson
is quick enough to handle
Rozier and he scored 10
points in Game 1.
Veteran Jose Calderon appears to be out of
consideration despite his
steadiness and experience. Lue may fear the
36-year-old will be targeted and exposed defensively.
Of course, there’s irony
in Cleveland having backcourt issues in this series.
A year ago, Kyrie Irving
averaged 25.8 points
in the Cavs’ ﬁve-game
rampage over the Celtics
in the conference ﬁnals.
Now an injured Irving
sits on Boston’s bench in
street clothes unable to
help his new teammates
while his presence teases
the Cavaliers, who have
not adequately replaced
the All-Star since trading
him.
They are ﬁnding life in
the playoffs is more difﬁcult without Irving, who
at times carried Cleveland’s offense, giving
James a break and Lue a
dependable second scoring option.
It’s easy to secondguess the decisions now,
but it feels as if the Cavs’
trades of Derrick Rose
and Dwyane Wade at
the deadline were hasty.
Cleveland lacks enough
playmakers capable of
creating their own shot or
opportunities for others.
Hill has been unusually
passive in the ﬁrst two
games, and the Cavs need
to get him going.
And they certainly need
more from Smith, whose
frustration surfaced at the
worst possible time when
his hard foul on Horford
riled up the Celtics and
their rowdy crowd.
As the referees
reviewed the play, Boston
fans chanted profanely
at Smith, who smirked
and later said the taunts
didn’t bother him.

Celtics survive 42-point night
by LeBron, down Cavs 107-94
BOSTON (AP) —
The Celtics punched the
Cavaliers ﬁrst and never
looked back in rolling to
a Game 1 rout.
LeBron James took a
literal shot to the jaw in
Game 2 but kept right
on scoring.
So did the Celtics.
Jaylen Brown scored
23 points and Boston
withstood a 42-point
night by James to beat
Cleveland 107-94 on
Tuesday and take a 2-0
lead in the Eastern Conference ﬁnals.
Terry Rozier added 18
points, while Al Horford
ﬁnished with 15 points
and 10 rebounds.
Boston improved to
9-0 this postseason at
TD Garden. The Celtics have never blown
a 2-0 series lead in the
playoffs.
“We’re going to ﬁght,”
Rozier said. “At this
point we don’t care if
we win by half a point.
If we win, that’s all that
matters.”
James added 12
assists and 10 rebounds.
He scored 21 of Cleveland’s 27 points in the
ﬁrst quarter , tying his
playoff career high for
points in a period. His
42 points marked his
ﬁfth 40-point game of
this postseason. James
had just 15 points and
missed all ﬁve of his
3-point attempts in the
Cavs’ Game 1 loss.
But he didn’t seem to
play with the same force
after straining his neck

2 of the NBA basketball Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday
in Boston.

in a ﬁrst-half collision
and the Cavaliers wilted
in the second half, with
the Celtics outscoring
them 59-39.
“I think I’ll be ﬁne. I’m
not going to lose sleep
over it. You go out and
when you lay everything
on the line, at the end
of the day, you can live
with that,” he said.
“They did what they
had to do, and that was
protect home, and now
it’s our time to try to do
that, as well.”
Kevin Love ﬁnished
with 22 points and 15
rebounds for Cleveland.
As expected, Tristan
Thompson started in
place of Kyle Korver in
the hopes his presence
could energize what was
a sluggish Cavs offense
in Game 1. Thompson
got Cleveland’s ﬁrst
basket of the night and
helped to limit Horford’s
effectiveness on the

inside early on.
Korver added 11
points off the bench for
Cleveland. But starters
Thompson, JR Smith
and George Hill combined for just 11 points
on 5-of-17 shooting.
Tempers ﬂared with
3:49 to play with Boston
leading 97-89. Marcus
Morris got in Smith’s
face after Smith pushed
Horford in the back to
prevent a layup. Smith
shoved Morris and the
pair had to be separated.
Smith was assessed
a ﬂagrant foul and both
received technical fouls.
“I felt like it was
uncalled for that type
of play there,” Horford
said. “We have each other’s backs. … We moved
on to the next play way
and we locked in after
that.”
Smith said there was
no malicious intent on
the play.

Stage hands prepare the set for the NBA basketball draft lottery Tuesday in Chicago.

Suns win NBA draft lottery
CHICAGO (AP) —
Phoenix general manager
Ryan McDonough was on
stage moments after the
NBA draft lottery ended,
talking about the future
of the Suns and mentioning how they had the best
odds of picking No. 1
overall.
And then he stopped to
correct himself.
“We have No. 1,”
McDonough said. “I’ve
got to adjust to that.”
It’s an adjustment that
he and the Suns will happily be making.
The worst team in the
league this season will
pick ﬁrst in the NBA
draft on June 21, after
the Suns won the draft
lottery on Tuesday night.
It’s the ﬁrst time the Suns
will have the chance to
make the ﬁrst overall
selection.
“It’s great for our franchise,” said McDonough,
whose club went 21-61
this season and missed
the playoffs for an eighth
consecutive year. “It’s
something that you say
coming into it, you don’t
have any control over it
so you’re not going to
get nervous. And I was
here dying. I could barely
breathe. I needed an oxygen tank.”
The Suns have three
great candidates for No.
1, all with ties to either
Arizona or new Phoenix
coach Igor Kokoskov.
Arizona freshman center
Deandre Ayton is widely
expected to be a strong
candidate to go No. 1
overall, and he was at
the lottery to watch
the Suns win the pick.
So was Duke’s Marvin
Bagley III, an Arizona
native.
And Kokoskov is particularly familiar with
Slovenia’s Luka Doncic,
who will be coming to the
NBA from Real Madrid.
Kokoskov coached Slovenia — and Doncic — to
the gold medal at the
European championships
last summer.

“We have a small target grouping in mind,
but we’re not going to
rule anything out at this
point,” McDonough said.
“I think we’ll have a great
choice, no matter who we
select.”
The Suns were big winners.
So were Sacramento
and Atlanta.
Sacramento will pick
No. 2 and Atlanta got
the No. 3 pick — both
of them moving up and
bucking some odds to get
there. The top three spots
were determined by the
lottery, and then spots
4-14 fell in line of reverse
order of record.
Sacramento had a 18.3
percent chance entering
the lottery of moving
into the top three, while
Atlanta’s move-up was
really just a slightly bigger upset than a coin-ﬂip
— the Hawks came into
the night with a 42.3
percent chance of getting
picks 1, 2 or 3.
“No big deal. It’s a deep
draft,” Kings vice president and general manager
Vlade Divac said. “We’re
going to do our job and
obviously, I’m glad that
we played the last two
years to develop guys and
try to win games. You
cannot develop guys if
you don’t teach them how
to win.”
The Hawks, like the
Suns, got their lottery
result one day after
introducing a new coach.
Lloyd Pierce is taking
over in Atlanta, with
a reputation of helping great young talent
develop — he’s worked
with Joel Embiid, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and LeBron James,
among many others.
“For Hawks fans, it’s
a big deal,” said Hawks
owner Jami Gertz, who
represented the franchise
on stage at the lottery. “I
say to Atlanta, we are on
our way. Championships
down the road, sooner
than later. Let’s go.”

The rest of the slots,
in order, went to No. 4
Memphis, No. 5 Dallas,
No. 6 Orlando, No. 7
Chicago, No. 8 Cleveland,
No. 9 New York, No.
10 Philadelphia, No. 11
Charlotte, No. 12 and No.
13 Los Angeles Clippers,
and No. 14 Denver.
The draft is June 21 at
Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The lottery has been
around since 1985, was
tweaked to a weighted
system in 1990 and will
be changing again next
year in an effort to discourage teams from tanking.
Going forward, the
three teams with the
worst regular-season
records will all have
14 percent chances of
winning the No. 1 pick,
the fourth-worst team
will have a 12.5 percent
chance and the ﬁfthworst 10.5 percent. So
there will still be a beneﬁt to being bad, but the
odds will be so similar
among the bottom ﬁve
teams — a 3.5 percent
differential in the race
for No. 1, instead of the
16.2 percent gap like this
year — that the reward
for losing might be lessened.
“I don’t like that word,
what is it, tanking?”
Divac said. “I hate it.”
Josh Jackson, who just
completed his rookie
season with Phoenix,
represented the Suns on
the stage, for the public
announcement of what
was drawn in secret about
an hour earlier. Only a
handful of team representatives, NBA ofﬁcials and
media knew the outcome
of the lottery before it
was revealed publicly and
they were all sequestered
until the results were
aired.
Jackson said he thinks
the Suns need a big man.
That means his vote, for
now anyway, is Ayton.
“He’s got so much
potential,” Jackson said.

Jackson jumping into
Lake Erie for charity
CLEVELAND (AP) — Hue Jackson’s
shuddering season with the Cleveland
Browns will include one last chill.
The coach is keeping his promise
and plans to jump into Lake Erie on
June 1 in an event for charity and
hopefully wash away two long, losing
seasons.
Jackson announced Monday on the
team’s Twitter account that he will take
a dip into the chilly waters in a few
weeks. As the Browns were staggering
toward a winless 2017 season, Jackson
vowed that if the team didn’t improve
on its 1-15 record from the previous
year that he would take the plunge.
Well, the Browns made history as the
second NFL team to go 0-16 and now
it’s time for Jackson to pay up.
And get wet.
Jackson pledged that for every
Browns employee that joins him in the
water he will donate $100 to his foundation, which combats human trafﬁcking
in Northeast Ohio. Jackson said his goal

is to raise $15,000.
Jackson and his wife, Michelle, began
the Hue Jackson Foundation last summer.
The team did not reveal any other
details for the private event.
