Jason and Heather Jolley appreciate the good days, and there’s been more of them since they moved to Athens from North Carolina last year.
The City of Athens will be applying for a myriad of grants in the next few weeks, in part to pay for upcoming projects as well as start initiatives for new ones.
On weekday mornings, many adults and college students might deem their best friends to be their snooze buttons.
With a fourth-place finish at the Earl Yestingmeier Memorial Invitational, Ohio swung itself into an area it wasn’t quite familiar with this season.

The two-mile sector of the bikeway that Ohio University owns was in poor condition 10 years ago. I recall skaters commenting 15 years ago that the cracks made it difficult to skate. About six or seven years ago, I did a rough count of the lateral cracks on this section. There were almost 300 lateral cracks, about 150 of which I called severe. Many of these cracks are a couple inches wide and large enough to catch a wheel. For those on foot, these are not that significant, but for those on wheels, they cause significant problems. They are quite jolting and frequently knock bottles, pumps, etc., and even hands off bikes. Each crack is a “thump” for each wheel. It is particularly bad for those on bikes with narrow wheels, tandems, tag-along bikes for kids, trailers with kids, tricycles and wheelchairs. I haven’t seen a wheelchair on this stretch for many years. Indeed, this stretch is more or less useless for many. Repair work done 20-some years ago have made the cracks even worse. Besides cracks, the pavement is crumbling and the width is way too narrow for amount of use here. And there was never an adequate base laid. I’ve frequently seen some cyclists do not-so-wise maneuvers and/or ride on the grass to avoid cracks. The cracks are beyond simple repair. This sector of the bikeway needs to be dug up and repaved with a solid base.

I have gained a reputation for bashing baseball. In the past year, I have written two columns for The Post that have clearly targeted America’s beloved pastime, in one of which I insisted readers should watch hockey instead. Here is the much-delayed second installment of why the NHL trumps the MLB:
