By BRYAN PECK Associate editor ABERDEEN – The Safe Communities walk bike path that connects Ripley-Union-Lewis- Huntington Middle School with the Aberdeen Branch Library was officially named after Aberdeen resi- dent JR Lawrence, who is one of the project’s biggest supporters. Lawrence has been heavily involved with the project for the past five years, and according to Aberdeen village council member Robert Hutchison, without Lawrence’s work the path would not have been built. “I call JR (Lawrence) the pitbull,” Hutchison said. “He’s tenacious, when he gets his teeth in something he doesn’t let go.” Lawrence said a lot of work has gone into the path from a lot of different people, and thanked the RULH school district, the Union Township Public Library system, and the Aberdeen Village Council for working to get the project completed. “I want to thank you all for this honor,” Lawrence said. “And I want to thank Vicki Asbury and the library for thinking it up.” Lawrence is still active in the project today, and is currently working on fix- ing issues with water pool- ing on the newly complet- ed path and is working with the the Ohio Department of Transportation to obtain funding for the second part of the project, which will connect Aberdeen branch library with the current village sidewalks on Elm Street. Also during the dedica- tion, Aberdeen Police Chief Clark Gast told the assembled students about the village’s bike repair and donation program. The program was started by Hutchison, who repairs old and broken bikes and donates them to children who do not own or cannot afford bikes through the Aberdeen Police Department. Any individu- als with information about children in need of a bike should contact the depart- ment at (937) 795-2214.

With mobile broadband speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, down- load files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile application s. “For Ohio to keep and create jobs, our business- es and consumers need access to the latest tech- nologies. The announce- ment that AT&T’s mobile broadband network is coming to the area is great news for our eco- nomic future,” said State Representative Danny Bubp. “Furthermore, I am encouraged about AT&T’s plans to merge with T- Mobile as this merger will increase mobile broadband opportunities in the rural areas in south- ern Ohio, which will help our businesses and con- sumers from an educa- tional and economic per- spective.” The new cell sites are one part of AT&T’s ongo- ing efforts to drive invest- ment and innovation to deliver the nation’s best, most advanced mobile broadband experience for customers. With the nation’s fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerat- ed mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilitie s. AT&T invested more than $200 million in its Ohio wireless and wire- line networks in the first half of 2011. To-date in 2011 in Ohio, AT&T has added more than 50 new cell sites to improve net- work coverage, upgraded over 130 existing cell sites to provide faster mobile broadband speeds, and added capacity or an extra layer of frequency – which is like adding lanes to a highway – to more than 360 cell sites. “Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordina ry experienc e. As part of the southern Ohio community, we’re always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we’re accomplish ing that, ” said Larry Evans, vice presi- dent and general manager, AT&T Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. “In addition, our recently announced agree- ment to acquire T-Mobile USA will strengthen and expand our network in southern Ohio and north- ern Kentucky,” said Tom Pelto, president, AT&T Ohio. “If approved, this deal means that we’ll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband – 4G LTE – from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to more than 97 percent.” AT&T’s mobile broad- band network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of tech- nologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the broadest internation al coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, provid- ing access to voice serv- ice in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 coun- tries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on more than 135 major cruise ships, as well as mobile broadband services in more than 130 countries.
