Man arraigned on charges from chase
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — A Lancaster
man accused of leading law
enforcement in multiple counties on a high-speed chase earlier this year was arraigned in
Meigs County Common Pleas
Court on Thursday morning.
Jason Austin, 34, currently
incarcerated in the Chillicothe
Correctional Institution,
appeared before Judge I. Carson Crow on the charges of
receiving stolen property, a
fourth-degree felony; failure
to comply with the signal of a
police ofﬁcer, a third-degree
felony; and inducing panic,

a ﬁrst-degree misdemeanor.
Austin was indicted
in April on the charges
following the March
15 incident which
began in Wood County, West Virginia.
Crow entered a plea
Austin
of innocent to the
charges on behalf of
Austin and appointed
Attorney Tommy Saunders to
represent Austin.
He is currently serving six
months in prison on a parole
violation, but told the court
he will likely receive additional time on charges in Fairﬁeld
County.

The charge of
receiving stolen property is for the Jeep
Compass which Austin
allegedly took from
the Parkersburg area.
According to previous
Sentinel reports, the
vehicle allegedly driven by Austin was then
chased into Ohio, with
numerous law enforcement agencies taking part.
As the vehicle traveled
down Route 7, it crossed
into Meigs County where the
Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce
joined the efforts to stop the
vehicle. The vehicle continued down Route 7, going

onto Route 33 toward Athens
before turning around at Rainbow Lake Road. The vehicle
then turned off Route 33 onto
Route 681 going back toward
Tuppers Plains.
Law enforcement tried to
use spike strips at multiple
locations but were unsuccessful with the suspect
reportedly driving through
yards in the area to avoid the
strips. The vehicle again got
on Route 7 in Tuppers Plains
heading toward Chester.
Deputies were stationed just
below Eastern Local Schools,
which Sheriff Keith Wood said
led the suspect to turn into
the parking lot at the school,

going around back toward
the weight room. The suspect
reportedly crashed through
the fence by the sewer facility near the school’s football
ﬁeld. He then jumped out of
the vehicle and laid on the
ground where he was taken
into custody, according to law
enforcement.
Pretrial hearings in the case
are scheduled for Aug. 14 and
Sept. 18, with a trial date of
Oct. 12.
As Austin is incarcerated in
the state prison system, Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Adkins
asked for a recognizance bond
which was granted by the
court.

Building inspector
fourth Pomeroy
official to resign
What happens following resignations?
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — A fourth person with the Village
of Pomeroy has resigned, following the resignation of three others during Monday’s Council
meeting.
Clayton Taylor, who had served as building
inspector/code enforcement for the village, submitted his written resignation on Tuesday, effective July 21.
Taylor’s resignation came the day after the resignations of Village Administrator Joe Woodall,
Mayor Bryan Shank and Councilwoman Ruth
Spaun.
With the resignation of Shank, Council President Don Anderson becomes the acting mayor,
temporarily leaving two vacancies on the council.
Information provided by the Meigs County
Board of Elections outlines the procedures for ﬁlling the mayor seat on a long-term basis, as well as
ﬁlling the vacancies on council.
According to the information, the president pro
tempore (Anderson) becomes the mayor until a
successor is “elected and qualiﬁed.”
In odd-numbered years (such as 2017), if the
vacancy occurs in the position of village mayor
more than 40 days before the next general election
(which is the case), a successor shall be chosen at
the next election to ﬁle the unexpired term.
As for the council seats, Anderson’s seat may
remain vacant while he is in the position of mayor.
Ohio Revised Code states that at the time of
becoming mayor, the president would decide
whether or not the person desires to complete
their council term after being acting mayor or it
the person does not want to complete the term.
Should the president wish to complete the term
on council, the seat will remain vacant until a new
mayor is in place. At that time the council president would return to the council seat.

Child killer makes 2nd appeal
to top court to stop execution
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — A condemned
child killer in Ohio has
made a second appeal to
the U.S. Supreme Court
to stop his scheduled
execution.
Ronald Phillips asked
the high court Thursday
for an emergency stay
based on his age at the
time of the murder. He
was 19, older than the
Supreme Court’s cutoff
of 18 for purposes of barring executions of juveniles. His request argues

the age should be 21.
Also before the court
is Phillips’ request for an
emergency stay based on
an execution method he
and other inmates have
challenged.
Phillips is set to die
July 26 in what would be
Ohio’s ﬁrst execution in
more than three years.
Phillips was sentenced
to death for the 1993
rape and killing of Sheila
Marie Evans, his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter.

noted.
She said that her parents, and others, drive
their children in to town
for internet access in
order to complete their
assignments and homework.
The district has
Chromebooks available
at school for their high
school students, which
may be taken home by
upper classmen. Students, upon graduation,
even have the option to
purchase their computers.
The district provides
“free breakfast and lunch,
free Chromebooks, and
free wi-ﬁ” while at school,
Linscott noted, but it is
once the students leave
the building they may
not have access to the
internet.
This has become a
particular concern when
dealing with required
state testing which is now
taken online. The practice
tests are also online.
Linsccott and others
from the district had the
opportunity in March
to travel to Washington
D.C. While there, they
met with Senator Rob
Portman (R-Ohio) to talk
about testing.
Linscott said that the
Senator was shocked with

ity and when he learned
the practice test and the
actual test were online he
realized the problem.
“Kids have to be given
a ﬁghting chance,” said
Linscott.
While Appalachia is
often referred to as a statistic, Linscott said those
in the area are much more
than that.
“We are so much more
than a statistic. What we
need is the opportunity
to prove it,” concluded
Linscott.
Before leaving the
stage, the 14-year-old
was given a standing ovation by the crowd. She
presented a red ribbon,
which was representing
Appalachian youth, to
Commissioner Clyburn.
Speakers from around
the region took to the
microphone following
Linscott to share their
own connectivity stories
and explain the challenges they face on a dayto-day basis.
While the stories each
had their own details, the
central message was that
more needs to be done to
bring service to the area,
whether it be broadband,
cell phone signal or even
reliable landline phones.
Nick Tepe of the
Athens County Public
Libraries spoke about the
importance of the libraries in connecting people
to information, and the
challenges that have come
along with it.
Tepe explained that the
library system is provided
one internet line through
the state, which can be

who has a home-based
business, said that he has
attended meetings regarding connectivity for 13
years and in that time the
area has went backwards.
He noted that they have
been told that AT&amp;T will
never come to the region
as it is not proﬁtable for
the company. “It is better for them to be 8th
in Columbus than the
provider in this area,” he
stated.
Warmke told of six
high school students who
had gotten in trouble and
were suspended from
school. The six were
given the opportunity
to complete coursework
online, but only three
had internet access. The
other three who could
not continue coursework
ended up dropping out of
high school.
Lilah Gagne, a high
school student in Athens
County who resides in
Meigs County, spoke of
the difﬁculties of being
a student with limited
internet access.
Gagne stated that her
school uses gmail, Google
classroom and other programs through Google,
and there are times that
she must go to school
empty handed due to her
limited internet.
Meigs County resident, and Ohio University administrator/faculty member, Catherine
Cutcher spoke of the
struggles with connectivity in the area, while
noting that she had better connection opportunities in rural Kenya 10

years ago.
Cutcher noted that
in Kenya there was the
option to purchase a
device for the computer
and then the cost of $1
to $2 per day for access
which worked even in
very rural areas.
“I was horriﬁed to
come back (to the U.S.)
and not have the same
option,” Cutcher stated.
Cutcher had a
HughesNet satellite internet option installed at
her residence, and pays a
monthly fee for a speciﬁc
amount of internet service. She estimated that
overtime she has paid
approximately $9,000 to
HughesNet.
In her position with
the university, Cutcher
often needs to work from
home to grade papers or
access other items for
her courses. “It is almost
impossible to work at
home,” she noted.
But her concerns
stretch further than her
own connectivity needs.

As the mother of two
young children just entering school, Cutcher said
there is the fear that they
will be left behind by not
having the access that
other students may have.
In addition to the limited internet access, Cutcher noted that she does not
have cell phone service at
her residence and often
has poor service with
her landline phone being
quiet or going out.
Commissioner Clyburn
concluded the evening
telling those in attendance not to settle.
“Don’t settle for anything less than you need,”
she said. “Do not settle.”
Meigs County Commissioner Randy Smith, who
attended the daytime portion of the event, praised
the efforts of local resident Liz Shaw in putting
together the event.

a challenge. In Athens
County, the library system operates branches in
Athens, Albany, Nelsonville, Glouster, Coolville
and Chauncey, and has
put in wi-ﬁ hot spots
in the villages of New
Marshﬁeld and Amesville
to help serve the areas
which otherwise do not
have access.
Service is essential for
job seekers, homework,
or those continuing their
education, Tepe noted,
adding that applying for
jobs at places such as WalMart or Lowes now take
place online.
The hot spots and
library wi-ﬁ networks
have become a place for
individuals to come late
at night to ﬁle reports
for work or other needed
information.
“We are doing what
we can to face the challenges,” said Tepe. At
one time, the libraries
in Athens County were
utilizing ﬁve service providers in order to equip
all of the locations, with
some being on DSL connections.
While some libraries
have begun to offer wi-ﬁ
hot spots which can be
loaned out, those require
cell phone signal, which
in not available in much
of the area.
Tepe concluded by saying that the area needs
the support to build infrastructure and to hold providers accountable. “You
have an ally in the libraries,” Teppe told Clyburn.

We might not resemble

movie, those caricatures

we should not deceive
ourselves into thinking
our sins are benign and
nobody is getting hurt.
In Christian doctrine,
the seriousness of sins is
seen in the price God was
willing to pay to provide
atonement for the sins of
those who came to Him
in faith and repented
of their sins. It was the
suffering and death of
His Son upon the cross.
Through that death, Jesus
offers forgiveness and
salvation from the evil
of this world and pleads
with us to accept it (cf.
Acts 2:40; Galatians 1:4)
The seriousness of sins
is further seen in the penalty applied to those who
do not obtain salvation.
The wages of sin is death.
(Romans 6:23) When we
sin, God, the great Judge
of men, treats us as villains in need of redemption. If we are wise, we
will heed the judge’s
warning and accept His
proffered solution. There
is salvation for those willing to take it.

Bible teaches about the
salvation of Christ, the

I switched (temporarily) to counseling with

conclusion that the running philosophy behind
a typical state-supported
counseling program is
that one must ﬁnd purpose for himself from
within himself. And the
general strategy of a
state-funded Religious
Studies program is to
deconstruct faith as a
rational process and cast
it in the light of the irrational, subjective, and
superstitious.
Indeed, the majority
of professors who taught
my religion classes
conveyed Christianity
(rather contemptuously)
as a complex cultural
construct with its origin
supposedly rooted in the
mythologies of various
ancient civilizations.

God yielded Himself as a sacriﬁce to atone for the sins of
humanity.
But Satan, as I have noticed
on multiple occasions, overplayed his hand. I recall one of
my religion professors, a committed atheist, emphasizing
the necessity for the art and
practice of critical thinking.
It was actually good advice.
When I applied it to the teaching presented to me by many
of my professors (some of
whom were ordained clergy
who somehow had given up on
God), I began to realize that
I was being taught by several
people who strove to do what
really cannot be done: living in
a place of compromise. They
sought to dwell in a position
from which they could talk
about spiritual things in a
superﬁcial (but hardly satisfying) way and yet still consort
with those they deemed as
enlightened by the spirit of

the efforts to explain away the
trustworthiness of the Bible
were prejudicially presented
as fact. Anyone who dared to
express skepticism over such
skepticism was publicly derided. Many fellow students going
into these classes with Christian conviction came out with
only confusion and despair.
It seems ironic to me that
a principle tool in bringing
me to an absolute certainty
that the Bible is true was an
atheistic professor. After the
end of my last term taking a
class with him, I received a
letter from him expressing his
appreciation for some thoughts
that I carefully and thoughtfully shared in my ﬁnal exam.

blasphemy by those who
argue away the truth of the

forced me to come to a decision. Either I would believe
the Bible and believe that it

I would walk away from the

Alex Bowman to replace Earnhardt Jr.
Driver gets dream job of No. 88 car in ’18

Ralph Freso | AP

Alex Bowman points to the pole award sticker on his car Nov. 11, 2016, after
winning the pole for a NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at Phoenix
International Raceway, in Avondale, Ariz. Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the replacement
he wanted. Alex Bowman got his dream job.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the
replacement he wanted. Alex
Bowman got his dream job.
Hendrick Motorsports
announced Thursday that
the 24-year-old Bowman will
replace one of the series’ biggest stars in the No. 88 car
next season after Earnhardt
retires.
Bowman has big shoes to
ﬁll. Earnhardt was named
NASCAR’s most popular driver
each of the last 14 seasons and
fans of his late father often
tracked Junior’s results following Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash
in the 2001 season opener at

Daytona.
“Ever since I was a kid, racing is all I’ve wanted to do,”
Bowman said. “I’ve had so
many people believe in me
along the way. My family has
sacriﬁced a lot and always
been behind me. I would never
have this chance without the
support of Dale and everyone
involved with the No. 88 team.
To be part of Hendrick Motorsports and for Mr. Hendrick to
have this conﬁdence in me, it’s
just amazing.”
Bowman already has some
experience in this job. When
the 42-year-old Earnhardt
missed 18 races because of a

concussion last season, Bowman started 10 of them in the
No. 88, winning the ﬁrst Cup
pole of his career and ﬁnishing
in the top 10 three times.
That was enough to get Earnhardt’s attention and eventually
an endorsement in May.
“Alex Bowman to the 88 next
year — is that what you guys
want?” Junior asked during a
livestream on Periscope following the series’ All-Star race.
“That would be pretty awesome to see Alex in that car.
That’s the plan, I hope. . Yeah,
Alex in the 88. That sounds
good to me. That kid earned it
last year. He ran good.”

Jason Bean | The Reno Gazette-Journal via AP

Former NFL football star O.J. Simpson enters a room for his parole hearing Thursday at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock,
Nev. Simpson was convicted in 2008 of enlisting some men he barely knew, including two who had guns, to retrieve from two sports
collectibles sellers some items that Simpson said were stolen from him a decade earlier.

O.J. Simpson granted parole
LOVELOCK, Nev.
— O.J. Simpson was
granted parole Thursday
after more than eight
years in prison for a Las
Vegas hotel heist, successfully making his case
in a nationally televised
hearing that reﬂected
America’s enduring fascination with the former
football star.
Simpson, 70, could be
a free man as early as
Oct. 1. By then, he will
have served the minimum
of his nine-to-33-year
armed-robbery sentence
for a bungled attempt to
snatch sports memorabilia and other mementos he
claimed had been stolen
from him.
All four parole commissioners who conducted
the hearing voted for
his release after about
a half-hour of deliberations. They cited his lack
of a prior conviction,
the low risk he might
commit another crime,
his community support
and his release plans,
which include moving to
Florida.
“Thank you, thank you,
thank you,” Simpson said
quietly as he buried his
head on his chest with
relief. As he rose from
his seat to return to his
prison cell, he exhaled
deeply.
Then, as he was led
down a hall, the former
athlete raised his hands

over his head in a victory
gesture and said, “Oh,
God, oh!”
Simpson’s sister,
Shirley Baker, wept
and hugged Simpson’s
48-year-old daughter
Arnelle, who held a hand
over her mouth.
During the more
than hour-long hearing, Simpson forcefully
insisted — as he has all
along — that he was only
trying to retrieve items
that belonged to him
and never meant to hurt
anyone. He said he never
pointed a gun at anyone
nor made any threats during the crime.
“I’m sorry it happened,
I’m sorry, Nevada,” he
told the board. “I thought
I was glad to get my stuff
back, but it just wasn’t
worth it. It wasn’t worth
it, and I’m sorry.”
Inmate No. 1027820
made his plea for freedom
in a stark hearing room at
the Lovelock Correctional
Center in rural Nevada as
the four parole commissioners in Carson City,
a two-hour drive away,
questioned him via video.
Gray-haired but looking trimmer than he has
in recent years, Simpson
walked briskly into the
hearing room in jeans,
a light-blue prison-issue
shirt and sneakers. He
chuckled at one point as
the parole board chairwoman mistakenly gave

his age as 90.
The Hall of Fame athlete’s chances of winning
release were considered
good, given similar cases
and Simpson’s model
behavior behind bars. His
defenders have argued,
too, that his sentence
was out of proportion
to the crime and that
he was being punished
for the two murders he
was acquitted of during
his 1995 “Trial of the
Century” in Los Angeles,
the stabbings of ex-wife
Nicole Brown Simpson
and her friend Ronald
Goldman.
Before the hearing
concluded, one of the
two memorabilia dealers
Simpson robbed, Bruce
Fromong, said the former football great never
pointed a gun at him
during the confrontation,
adding that it was one of
Simpson’s accomplices.
Fromong said Simpson
deserved to be released
so he can be with his
children.
“He is a good man.
He made a mistake,”
Fromong said, adding the
two remain friends.
Arnelle Simpson, the
eldest of Simpson’s children, also testiﬁed on his
behalf, saying her father
is not perfect but realizes
what a mistake he made
and has spent years paying for it.
“We just want him to

come home, we really
do,” she said.
Simpson said that he
has spent his time in
prison mentoring fellow
inmates, often keeping
others out of trouble, and
believes he has become
a better person during
those years.
“I’ve done my time.
I’ve done it as well and
respectfully as I think
anybody can,” he told the
board.
Asked if he was conﬁdent he could stay out
of trouble if released,
Simpson replied that he
learned a lot from an
alternative-to-violence
course he took in prison
and that in any case he
has always gotten along
well with people.
“I had basically spent a
conﬂict-free life,” he said
— a remark that lit up
social media with sarcastic comments given the
murder case and a raft of
allegations he abused his
wife.
Several major TV networks and cable channels
— including ABC, CBS,
NBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC
and ESPN — carried
the proceedings live,
just as some of them did
two decades ago during
the Ford Bronco chase
that ended in Simpson’s
arrest, and again when
the jury in the murder
case came back with its
verdict.
