According to Gallipolis Municipal Court records, Jackie Morgan, 57, of Wagoner Road, has a pending Gallipolis Municipal Court case regarding the reported seconddegree misdemeanor crime of animal cruelty. Gallia County deputies served a search warrant at Morgan’s property around 8 a.m. Morgan surrendered animals to the sheriff’s office and others have been taken from the property by the sheriff’s office barring the result of final court decisions. Laurie Cardillo, Gallia County dog warden, said she has collected animals from the location in the past and said the residence has reportedly been an ongoing problem for roughly the last two years. After taking reports from neighbors of Morgan in regards to loose dogs killing animals on their property, Cardillo reached out for help. “I feel very fortunate to have them (the Humane Society of the United States) with us here today,” Cardillo said, “because without them, there is no way we One dog leans out the window as animal rescuers approach a house that housed several dozen dogs as well as puppies. could have handled this, not on the county level.” Cardillo said she has returned to the property about once a week for the last year and a half to deal with animal complaints. She said she believed the Gallia Canine Shelter had taken a minimum of 40 dogs from the Morgan residence last year. The Daily Tribune was on the scene as dogs were collected from the residence. Some were reportedly trapped in safety kennels, roaming the property or removed from an abandoned trailer and shed. Some dogs were inside the residence itself and enclosures about the property. The smell of ammonia and sewage was strong around the structures and a number of puppies, as well as adult animals, could be found. Some animals had patchy spots of hair or signs of poor health. HSUS responders reported high ammonia levels in the structures. Animals had limited access to food and water and in need of urgent veterinary care. Veterinarians Dr. Michelle Gonzalez, of Rascal Animal Hospital, and Dr. Jennie Hayes were on scene to deliver emergency fluids. Dr. Brian Hendrickson, of Riverbend Animal Clinic, was also available to see to the health of the horses collected — the youngest of which was 4 See RESCUE | 6A �LOCAL 2A Friday, August 12, 2016 OBITUARY Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES WOODROW WILLIAM CALL JR. MIDDLEPORT — Woodrow “Woody” William Call Jr., 84, of Middleport, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, Aug. 8, 2016. He was born Jan. 8, 1932, in Middleport, son of the late Woodrow “Red” William Call Sr. and Grace Evelyn (Motley) Call. He was married to the love of his life, Mary Ann, for 62 years. He was a loving father and foster parent, and sport coach of many kids and adults that he loved as his own. He was retired from the steel factory, Foote Mineral, and a preacher since the late 1970s. He attended Ash Street Church in Middleport. He is survived by his children, Debbie (Tim) Cundiff, Woody (Christy) Call, David Call, Steve (Debbie) Call, Mikey (Heather Whaley) Call, Cindy (Kevin) Bush and Karen (Jeremy) Gilbert; daughter-in-law Cheryl Call; 19 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Nancy Ackerman; brother-in-law David (Annabell) Michael; and several nieces and nephews. When in high school, Woody excelled in both football and baseball, being captains of both squads. His real love was baseball. After high school, he played semipro baseball making the all-star team. As noted by a local sports writer years ago, Woody had an arm like Johnny Bench and written across the top of Woody’s chest protector were the words, “Thou shall not steal.” Several pro teams were interested in him, including the Cincinnati Reds. However, Woody made the decision to stay in Middleport with his family and the rest is history. For the next 60 years, he coached kids and adults, starting from Pee-Wee, Little League, Pony League, Babe Ruth League, men’s softball/ fast-pitch baseball, and women’s/girls softball leagues. His teams always won numerous league championships and tournaments. His coaching style and work ethic not only made kids/adults good ballplayers, but helped after playing ball to be pillars in the community. We will forever be grateful. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Ann Call; brother Donnie Call; son Phillip “Del” Call; and nieces Becky Ackerman and Tracy Reitmire.

Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church. There is no room for complacency As Peter and John stood on trial before the Jewish leaders, condemned for preaching the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, the two men refused to back down. (cf. Acts 4:1-20) They understood what they had seen and would not allow anyone to contradict the truth that Jesus had risen from the dead (cf. Acts 4:10). More than this, they understood the urgency of the message that Jesus had given to them. Having declared the resurrection boldly, Peter also forthrightly claimed, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12; NKJV) Let us note the use of the word “must” by the inspired apostle. Salvation is a necessity. There is a genuine danger awaiting the soul of the unsaved man and Jesus Himself stressed the great importance of avoiding that danger at all cost (cf. Mark 9:43-48). There is no sacrifice too great, no task too difficult, and no road too long; if such will save us from the eternal peril of everlasting separation from God. Likewise, there As we read in is no thing that we Scripture, God is could gain which not willing that any would make entering should perish, but into torment worthdesires all men to while.

God, foreseeing the to it immediately. In Acts 2, need for men to be saved, three thousand souls heard appointed, from before the the apostles preach, and foundation of the world, His were baptized that same day. Son to be the savior of men. In Acts 16, the Philippian (cf. 1 Peter 1:20; Matthew jailer, about midnight, hears 25:34) The crux of this plan the message and he and all was the sacrifice of Jesus his family were baptized that upon the cross, and for that same night, regardless of the purpose God prepared a lateness of the hour. In Acts nation, a law and a time into 8, the Ethiopian eunuch, which His Son could come riding in his chariot, listento die for the sins of maning to the message of Jesus, kind. All that came before espies water and asks, “here was in preparation of Christ, is water, what prevents me and all that came after is from being baptized?” (Acts because of Him. The cross 8:36b). stands at the center of HisWe read, “Behold, now is tory, a vivid reminder that the accepted time; behold, God wanted us to be saved now is the day of salvation.” so badly, He was willing to (2 Corinthians 6:2) And sacrifice His own Son for elsewhere, “Today, if you that purpose. will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts … but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” (Hebrews 3:7-8a, 13) Because of the importance, the necessity and the urgency of salvation, those that take spiritual matters seriously must recognize there is no room for complacency, procrastination, or carelessness in matters of the soul. God is merciful, but that does not excuse neglect on our part. Rather, we should heed the admonition, “Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure,” (2 Peter 1:10a; NKJV) and “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15; NKJV). If you recognize your need for God’s grace, don’t put off what you know needs to be done, but turn to God diligently, in faith and obedience.

Aliens not yet available for Earth invasion provide the time and conditions I saw something funny on for life to evolve.

On the other too. hand, what I believe is actually more It is not because aliens from other planets are having compassion on us of believable. First, I believe in a Book that sets Planet Earth, and are purposely staying away. It is not because they do not the record straight with enough information for me about the earth and the know we are here. It is not because they do not have the technology to get universe. The Bible record starts with a sufficient but awesome statement, here. It is not because they have an “In the beginning, God created the inherent disdain for us of the human heaven and the earth.” I, oh, most cerkind. tainly, believe that God is the Creator. These astrophysicists say it is because aliens from other parts of the That in itself answers a lot of questions. universe have not been born yet. Second, I have a faith based upon Is that good news or what? the surety of the Bible record. The To make matters more intriguing, the astrophysicists say these aliens will Writer of the Book of Hebrews gives sure information, “Through faith, not be born for another billion years we understand that the worlds were or so. Goodness, knowing that keeps me from breaking out in a cold sweat. I framed by the Word of God, so that feel safer after being told that. I figure things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” That elimiI will not live that long, anyway. nates a lot of questions. The reason aliens have not been Third, I believe the Bible record that born yet, according to these astrophysicists, is due to the ineffectiveness Man is the special creation of God by His own hands in His own image, of large stars, or suns, which do not which, in my mind, eliminates queslast long enough to provide time for tions about any alien existence at any life to evolve on other planets. The point in the present or the future. In larger stars burn out too quickly. It is contrast, those astrophysicists believe the smaller, longer-lasting stars that that “Humans are bizarre exceptions that have formed billions of years prematurely.” You have to shake your head at that presumption. God is not bound by time, but when He created Man — and everything else — He did what He did on time in accordance to His will in His way. He was not premature. If they think it is crazy that I believe in God, I think it is crazier what they believe. But, it is not a grave concern of mine the scientific-type questions from where we came, or how long ago it happened. The main concern each of us should have is where each of us will go going spiritually. People are too concerned about thinking that knowing our origins affects our future. The most important thing that affects our future is the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and our acceptance of the spiritual effectiveness of what He did to save our souls from eternity in hell. Existence in eternity is our future. Christ did what He did to give us a Heavenly alternative. In the meantime, if aliens are not available to invade Planet Earth right now, that is good. It makes for something less to think about. Too much going on here. Besides, what it is that these astrophysicists know about Roswell that the alien-invader believers think they know? Or, the UFO believers? The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Visit a church or synagogue of your choice this Sunday! Passionately pursue most important thing of all Summer nears its end with a collage of sights, sounds and sensations that flood the experience. The lush green of late summer (when it hasn’t been a drought year) is unlike that of any other time of year; flowers gardens are glowing and bugs are buzzing with their busy, end-of-summer drone. Of course, bugs are not the only things buzzing about. The yearly phenomenon of fall sports also starts afresh with the energy and zest that those who are bored with summer enthusiastically embrace. As football practice and fall soccer, in particular, prepare to get A Hunger under way, children and For More their parents (who are Thom often much more passionMollohan ate about the games than are their kids) will just in a few short weeks once again line the bleachers to cheer and jeer with passion their way through the season. Passion … a word so riddled with various meanings that it can be used almost as a dirty word and yet signifies that remarkable quality by which we summon up untapped energies, reorient our minds with new dreams and ambitions and then begin the whole-hearted pursuit of our heart’s desire. Passion can be an amazing thing; amazingly fruitful when it rockets us toward helpful and fruitful goals; amazingly destructive and dangerous when it drags us into the pits of lust, greed and proud ambition. Christians must continually guard their own hearts in this regard. It is easy for our eyes to be drawn by the activity of “winning teams” and the overly-inflated luster of “beating out” other kids (by which we determine that our own children are superior to others). In recent years, it has repeatedly occurred that fans of sports react to losing (or winning) by resorting to extreme violence and destruction. Nothing new I suppose, but I wonder sometimes if it has been escalating, especially when I hear more and more incidents of parents assaulting other parents at their children’s sports events. What IS wrong with us that we would let it get that far? And it should be clear, too, that this isn’t really about sports. Playing sports is a great source of exercise, fun and excitement, the learning of teamwork and an opportunity to develop initiative. But, although athletic events are sometimes an obvious forum in which some folks make spectacles of their misplaced passions, this is really about anything that supplants God’s place of preeminence as Lord of our lives. Things like career achievement, financial affluence, physical ecstasy, and social approval (to name only a few) too easily and too often become our hearts’ desires. Misplaced passions always reap bitter harvests though. Whether we’re talking about getting swallowed up by the lightning-fast pace of the corporate world, keeping up with the Joneses right on into Chapter 11, chemical addictions or STDs or even co-dependent relationships that repeatedly fail and leave us heartbroken, whatever we allow to come before God comes to nothing in the end. This is why it is time right NOW to seek after God. This is why it is imperative that we begin to passionately pursue the most important thing of all before the setting of another sun. “Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose’” (Isaiah 46:8-10a ESV). Are we willing to live with the “end in mind?” I hope so. It’s a shame to think that we might pursue all our own purposes, not believing perhaps, that only His purposes and plans will last for eternity. “The path of the righteous is level; You make level the way of the righteous. In the path of Your judgments, O LORD, we wait for You; Your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul. My soul yearns for You in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks You” (Isaiah 26:7-9a ESV).

The Minnesota Vikings head coach is known for his intense, no-nonsense approach on the field, but was smiling on Wednesday after a morning workout at Paul Brown Stadium. The Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals began two days of joint practices leading up to their preseason opener Friday night at Paul Brown Stadium. Zimmer was the Bengals’ John Minchillo | AP defensive coordinator for six Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, right, watches from the sidelines during a joint NFL football practice with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday in Cincinnati. Zimmer, the seasons under Marvin Lewis Bengals’ defensive coordinator from 2008-13, will coach the Vikings against his former team before the Vikings hired in the preseason opener for both teams on Friday night. him as their coach in 2014. During those six seasons, Zimmer led the Cincinnati defense to top-10 league rankings four times, including No. 3 in his final season. The Bengals had produced just one top-10 ranking in the previous 18 seasons prior to Zimmer’s arrival. “It brings back a lot of good memories,” Zimmer said. “We had a good run when I was here. There were a lot of great people in the administration. (Owner) Mike Brown was always really good to me, as was Marvin. There are a lot of the players here that I coached. It’ll be fun. It’ll be fun to come back and try to compete with them.” Zimmer still owns prop- erty in northern Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. He planned to get together with members of Cincinnati’s coaching staff for barbeque on Wednesday night. The relationship between Lewis and Zimmer began in the early 1980s when they were starting their coaching careers in the Big Sky Conference, Lewis at Idaho State and Zimmer at Weber State. Lewis’ first job in the NFL was with Pittsburgh in 1992. Zimmer joined Dallas’ staff in 1994. The Cowboys beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl following the 1995 season. See ZIMMER | 3B Okla. going for US men tested by Australia, 98-88 10th Big 12 title DALLAS (AP) — Oklahoma already has a record nine Big 12 championships, and last season took the league into the College Football Playoff for the first time. While the smallest Power Five conference could soon be expanding, the Sooners and Bob Stoops — now the longest-tenured FBS coach — seem to have everything in place to push for another playoff run out of the 10-team league. Since their last national title in 2000, the Sooners made another BCS Championship Game in 2008 and last season played in the Orange Bowl, losing the CFP semifinal to Clemson after the Big 12 was snubbed for the first four-team playoff in 2014. “I don’t reflect back much on it,” Stoop said of the national title in his second season at Oklahoma. “I look forward and try and continue to improve, and be a more powerful team is what I’m constantly preaching.” Big 12 leaders have to decide whether to add two, four or no teams. Even without expansion, the league is restoring its championship game in 2017, with a likely split into divisions again. For now, the Big 12 remains the only Power Five conference with a round-robin league schedule. “We’ve been in five different conferences, and we’ve done it about every way that you can,” said TCU coach Gary Patterson, whose Horned Frogs go into their fifth Big 12 season. “I don’t think there’s any tougher way of playing it as when you have to play everybody.” THE FAVORITES Baker Mayfield is back for his second season as Oklahoma’s quarterback, with the option for another year after this in Norman for the former Texas Tech walk-on freshman starter thanks to a Big 12 rule change about in-league transfers. The Sooners also have the running duo of bruising Samaje Perine and explosive Joe Mixon. Oklahoma State, TCU and Baylor all also won at least 10 games last season. Healthy quarterback Mason Rudolph is among a wealth of returners for the Cowboys. Dual-threat quarterback Trevone Boykin is gone, but TCU has 13 starters back from last season, plus six other starters who had season-ending injuries a year ago.

The Olympics are underway. After nothing but pushovers this summer, the U.S. men’s basketball team faced someone who pushed back. “This is the real world now and that’s good for us,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Finally tested, Carmelo Anthony and Kyrie Irving had the answers. Anthony scored 31 points on the night he became the U.S. men’s Olympic career scoring leader, combining with Irving for all the Americans’ baskets in the fourth quarter of a 98-88 victory over Australia on Wednesday night. Irving — born in Australia — added 19 points, including a 3-pointer with 1:35 left after Australia had closed within four. A team that won its first two games by a combined 101 points could never get a comfortable lead — and for a while couldn’t get one at all. The Australians, with big bodies inside, quality point guards to counter the American pressure and a wealth of NBA championship experience, stood toe to toe with the team that had blown them out of the last two Olympics in the quarterfinals. But Anthony, the first U.S. male to play in four Olympics, steadied the Americans in the first competitive game most of this new team had ever experienced. “We kind of expected a game like this, a physical game, a grind-out game from playing against Australia over the past couple years,” Anthony said, “and going into tonight we knew it was going to come down to the end of the game where we were really going to have to buckle down and focus in and make plays down the stretch.” Kevin Durant capped off the scoring with two free throws, making him the only other player than Irving or Anthony to score in the period. The Americans, who had barely broken a sweat in Brazil, trailed early in the fourth quarter before Anthony hit a flurry of Charlie Neibergall | AP 3-pointers to put the United States’ DeAndre Jordan (6) drives to the basket over Australia’s Cameron Bairstow at the 2016 Americans on top.

Taurasi scored 22 of her Olympic-best 25 points in the first half to help the U.S. beat Serbia 110-84 on Wednesday and advance to the quarterfinals.

They kept pace with the U.S. in the third quarter, only being outscored by one point. Serbia finished the game 12-for-20 from behind the 3-point arc. “They are impossible to play against,” Auriemma said. “Our big guys, it’s a nightmare guarding them. You have a team shooting 20 percent on 2s or 80 percent on 3s at one time. It’s a combination of the two.” The U.S. (3-0) has been scoring at a record pace, topping 100 points for the third consecutive game. The Americans have never done that in the Olympics and are on pace to break the 102.4 points a game the 1996 team averaged en route to the gold medal that started this run of five straight that the U.S. is currently on.

These first three games of the tournament she’s come out and taken over right from the beginning.” Taurasi is averaging 17.7 points, her highest ever in the four Olympics she’s played in. Breanna Stewart added 17 points and Tina Charles finished with 15 after getting going in the second quarter to help the U.S. extend the advantage to 22 at the half. Taurasi had five 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes, equaling her Olympic team record. She broke the mark early in the third quarter and finished the game with six 3’s to set a new U.S. Olympic mark. “Caroline Williams, first-team PR, told me that going into halftime that I needed one, so I shot it,” Taurasi said. “If I wasn’t open I probably wouldn’t have shot it. On this team you really got to be open to shoot.

What doesn’t figure to change is the dominance of the East Division. Ohio State, Michigan and defending champion Michigan State all are positioned to make runs at being national top-10 teams, if not College Football Playoff contenders. Iowa’s amazing 12-0 regular season in 2015 notwithstanding, this looks like another year when the West will play in the East’s considerable shadow. The Big Ten attempted to create balance when it split into divisions with Nebraska’s entry in 2011. The Legends and Leaders monikers went by the wayside after three years, replaced by the geographical EastWest alignment. Last season, Michigan State went to the playoff and was joined by fellow East members Ohio State and Michigan among the top 12 teams in the final Top 25. Iowa, at No. 9, was the only West team among the top dozen. The year before, Ohio State won the national championship and Michigan State was No. 6 in the final AP poll, with Wisconsin the highest West team at No. 13. The East won the last two Big Ten championship games, with the folks in Wisconsin still smarting from the 59-0 beat-down administered by Ohio State in 2014. Commissioner Jim Delany said shuffling the divisions is not in the plans. “Things are a little cyclical,” he said. “I mean, if you look at other conferences who have experimented much longer than we have, you had a 10- or 12-year run by the eastern group in the SEC and then a 15- , 10-, 12-year run by the West. It looks like the (SEC) East is getting stronger. “We have some great programs in the West who have won national championships, that have won big bowls, that have found themselves in the top five and 10 rankings in the country, have great coaches, great resources, great brands. So I suspect over time there would be parity.” 10:30 Person Interest "Nautilus" Person Interest "Wingman" 18 (WGN) Blue Bloods "Bad Blood" The Dan Patrick Show 24 (ROOT) UEFA Soccer Champions League R.

Serbia must win its final two games to have any chance of advancing. “They are the best team in the world, but I thought we did some positive things and we could learn from some things we did well,” said Danielle Page, who scored 15 points. “”Our goal is to get to the quarterfinals and see what we can do there.” Page, who played college basketball at Nebraska, joined the Serbian team after the coach saw her play in a French league. “I got really lucky, she saw me play and wondered if I’d be interested in a passport and dangled the Olympic dream in front of me. I was very interested.” Next up for the U.S. is Canada on Friday. The Canadians are also undefeated so far after beating Senegal 68-58 to clinch a quarterfinal berth for the second straight Olympics.

Reunions were nice, but there was something bigger in play. The Vikings and Bengals won division titles last season, then dropped home playoff games in the closing minute. They have expectations of returning to the postseason and doing more than just hosting one game. The joint practices gave them a chance to work on things in a little more competitive setting. “I anticipate that we’ll get a lot of good work,” Zimmer said. “Usually the day before a preseason game you don’t get any work done, so we’re going to get some extra work that way.

Beyond and under the trees were the sewing machines and improved agricultural implements, and the organs, while scattered promiscuously over the ground in various places were refreshment stands, wheels of fortune, tin-type galleries, snake shows, striking machines, shooting and ball throwing galleries, and other devices to catch pennies, too numerous to mention. However, that which attracted the most attention, it was presumed, was the trials of speed on the race track. In 1889 the race track was enlarged from a one-third mile track to one-half mile. The amphitheater was built the following summer in time for the September 1890 fair. “It easily seats one thousand persons and commands an entire view of the race course. A back view of the grand stand is as attractive as the front. It consists of hash stalls whose counters bristle with ham sandwiches, ginger bread and birch beer,” reported the Meigs County Tribune. The 40th annual Fair was held September 5, 6, 7 and 8, 1893. The 1894 fair reported only about one third the usual attendance, owing to the extreme drought and the consequent dust. But, in 1895, several articles appeared lamenting the fact that the Meigs County Agricultural Society was in debt for improvements made on the grounds in the early1890’s. Because of this, the Society did not hold a fair in either 1895 or 1896. By 1900, The Tribune/ Telegraph was hailing the Fair a Grand Success, Morally, Socially and Financially and in 1901, the Baby Show was being hailed as the event of the day - to the women at least. The fair of 1907 was one of the record breakers with paid admission of 9230, although the largest attendance of fairs to that date was the 1889 fair which claimed to have more than 10,000 attending. The 58th annual Fair held in September 1914 was another big success with over 10,000 attending. But, trouble was brewing once again. The unsettled troubles of 1895 were in litigation, and instead of the $13,000 $15,000 debt of twenty years before, a judgment resulted for $30,000. Consequently, no fair was held for the years 1915, 1916 and 1917. The 1918 fair held September 3, 4, and 5 was advertised to be Bigger, Better Than Ever and advertised the Baby Show and Ladies’ Hitching Contest. Admission was 50 cents for adults and children under 10, free. The 1928 Fair held September 2, 4, 5, and 6, advertised a See TRADITION | 11 Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home W e provide complete funerals, cremations and memorial services, helping you handle all the details of your loved one’s final arrangements with the utmost care and dignity.

The Meigs County Telegraph of Oct. 28, 1851, regarded this as an important era in the history of farming in the county. Premiums were awarded for horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, crops, domestic articles (which included butter, cheese and honey, as well as carpet, blankets, coverlets, socks and fancy needle work), and manufactured articles. The address by V. B. Horton was listened to with deep interest by a large and intelligent audience. Officers elected for the following year were: Stephen Titus, president; Whittamore Reed, vice president; Samuel Halliday, corresponding secretary; Isaac M. Gilmore, recording secretary; Oren Branch, treasurer; Stillman Larkin, Milo Guthrie, W. Sherwood, Thomas Radford, Silas Strong - managers. The second fair of the Meigs County Agricultural Society was held at the Rock-Spring Hotel on the 30th day of September 1852. The list of premiums had now added fruit, flowers and poultry; butter, cheese, honey and garden vegetables; and plowing. The Committee on Crops was to meet at the Rock-Spring Hotel on Oct. 31, 1852, to judge crops. Officers elected on the fairgrounds, on the day of the fair were: Stephen Titus, president; Abner Stout, vice president; Oren Branch, treasurer; Samuel Halliday, corresponding secretary; Isaac M. Gilmore, recording secretary; S. C. Larkin, W. Sherwood, Thomas Radford, Silas Strong, Cyrus Grant - managers. Sept. 28-29, 1853, the third Fair was held at Middleport. Fancy Articles was a new category added this year, with the Committee on Crops to meet on Dec. 3, 1853, at the courthouse in Pomeroy to award premiums on crops. The same officers were elected, with Josiah Simpson, R. Bradford and J. F. Brown replacing Thomas Radford, Silas Strong and Cyrus Grant as managers. The fourth fair was held on Sept. 28-29, 1854 at Chester, with the fifth annual fair being held on Sept. 26-27, 1855, at the fairgrounds near Pomeroy. Admission was 10 cents; Member Tickets, $1. A Female Equestrian Riding match was added this year. In the Aug. 7, 1855, Meigs County Telegraph - Notice: Those who subscribed to the Meigs County Agricultural Society for the purpose of fencing and improving the ground for holding the Fairs, are requested to pay their subscription to O. Branch, Treasurer of the Society, and all friends of agricultural improvements, who have not contributed, are solicited to pay O. Branch, Treasurer, such amount they think proper, as the society is short of funds to complete the improvements. George McQuigg, Secretary, S. Titus, President. 1858 Fair goers enjoyed a concert ball and fireworks and following the 1859 fair, the intention of the managers was to either enlarge the grounds the coming year, or remove the locality. Displayed in 1859 were two lots of marble - one from Skrivin & Smith, of Racine, and the other from J. L. Waller, of the same place. “They were universally admired, and more perfect specimens of workmanship anywhere would have been difficult to procure,” stated the Editor of the Meigs County Telegraph. Evidently the grounds were not enlarged, for the 10th annual Fair of the Meigs County Agricultural Association was held at Racine, Wednesday and Thursday, September 19 and 20, 1860. Officers elected for the next term were: W. B. Strong, president; J. R. Ellis, vice president; O. Branch, treasurer; Dr. J. R. Philson, recording secretary; L. Paine, corresponding secretary; and J. J. Combs, William Foster, Thomas Fesler, G. B. Forrest, and P. Fisher, Directors; Samuel Titus, Chief Marshal and George Stivers, Assistant Marshall. Owing to the stringency in money matters, the absorption of the public mind in the destiny of the country, and the apparent small interest taken in the matter by the Agricultural and manufacturing community, the Board of Directors of the “Meigs County Agricultural Association” decided to abandon the holding of a Fair in the Fall of 1861. Because of the excited state of the county, and the interest taken by the people in their country’s cause, the Meigs County Fair was again postponed in 1862. Although no local papers are available for 1863 and 1864, it must be assumed that the fair was again postponed in 1863, since the county itself had experienced a raid and battle activity associated with the Civil War. The 1865 Meigs County Telegraph again carried a detailed report of Premiums awarded. Racing had been added to the fair program and was a highlight of the annual event. The first part of the Rocksprings Fairground was purchased in 1868 on March 14 from Leonard and Jane Carleton for $1,500 by the Meigs County Agricultural Society, and consisted of 101 1/4 acres. A second tract was secured from the Salisbury School Board on June 15, 1889. On December 24, 1899 an additional 98 rods, more or less, was deeded to the Agricultural Society by Jane Carleton. The Twenty-sixth annual Fair of the Meigs County Agricultural Society was held on September 11 and 12, 1879. On the hill, under the sheds and on the tables, there was a fair show of Domestic and Food articles. �2016 MEIGS COUNTY FAIR 6 Thursday, August 12, 2016 The Daily Sentinel Grandstand a major fair attraction POMEROY — Anyone who has visited the Meigs County Fair soon realizes that it is a unique gathering place in the county. From project displays and livestock from 4-H, FFA, Scouts and Grange, antique tractor and modern flower displays to rides and food, the Meigs County Fair is a place to learn about the agricultural products of the county and see friends from across the region. The Meigs County Fair’s Grandstand is a large part of this unique place. Built in 1890, the Grandstand is an unusual structure that has been built to match the curve in the racetrack. Designed as a half-moon on the first turn in the mid-1880s by Lore Davis, it is the only structure of its type at a fairground in Ohio and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Deterioration through the years raised the question of safety in the 1970s and early 1980s, leading to extensive renovation. The old structure was raised and placed on a concrete platform, reinforcement braces were added and a new roof and drainage system installed — all steps to ensure the structural integrity of the more than 125-year-old structure. For convenience, handrails were installed along the seating aisles and concrete walkways were poured. In addition, protective cables were installed across the front of the grandstand. Seeing that these extraordinary grandstands were in need of some updates, the Farmers Bank and Savings Co. branches in Pomeroy, Tuppers Plains, Gallipolis, Mason and Point Pleasant have stepped up and helped initiate an ongoing restoration project in which the grandstands are getting a bit of a make-over. People who would like more information are encouraged to stop by the secretary’s office on the fairgrounds during the 2016 Meigs County Fair. Come and see the improvements firsthand during the 2016 Meigs County Fair Aug. 13-20. Lorna Hart | Daily Sentinel This 1883 grandstand will be filled with fair fans next week.

The 81st annual Fair was held the week of September 4, 1940, but in November of 1940 a suit for the dissolvement of the Meigs County Agricultural Society was filed in the Meigs County Common Pleas court, and in September 1941, the society was dissolved by virtue of an order of the Court of Appeals of Meigs County. F. H. O’Brien was appointed trustee for the creditors and members of the society, with full power to settle affairs of the corporation, to pay and collect all debts, prosecute and defend actions, and to attend to all such business of the society. At the time of the filing of this action the officers of the society were Dan C. Hartinger, president; Arthur Beegle, vice president; A. D. Russell, treasurer; and Ray E. Gibbs, Secretary. However, Arthur Beegle was later elected president and served in that capacity until the time of dissolvement. On March 24, 1941 a petition was filed in the Meigs County Common Pleas Court by the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Co., the Pomeroy National Bank, and D. A. Dias for money from the Meigs County Agricultural Society. Meigs County assumed the responsibility of the debts and paid them and by reason of this assumption the title was transferred to Meigs County, and the property was ordered to be transferred from the Meigs County Agricultural Society to Meigs County by a court order dated Dec. 9, 1943. Although this order occurred, deeds do not indicate any transfer Thursday, August 12, 2016 11 was ever made, and presumably was settled otherwise. A two-day fair was sponsored by a new society, formed in 1939, at the Pythian park in Middleport on October 2 and 3, 1941. No fair was held during 1942 due to the war, although 4-H project judging took place. In 1943 an exhibit of clothing and food was set up in the gymnasium of the Pomeroy Junior High School. One evening program was held. Livestock consisted of ten head tied to a row of posts on the old practice field behind the high school. In 1944, the same procedure was used. After a four-year absence, the fair returned to Rockspings in 1945, where it has been held annually since. August 12-15, 1952 the 89th annual Fair was held, marking the 10th annual Junior Fair to be held in conjunction with the Meigs County Fair. A Junior Fair Board consisting of representatives from various groups which comprise the Junior Fair activities has been in effect since 1946. Dr. Lakin, Cadle Tabernacle, opened the 1952 festivities with a sermon and program in front of the grandstand. In 1963 the Centennial of the Meigs County Fair was celebrated, recognizing the fact that this was the 100th fair held. A parade with 45 entries and an evening presentation by the Big Bend Minstrels under the direction of Bob Hoeflich were highlights of the fair. Officers were Fred Leifheit, President; Bill Downie, Vice President; Charles Radford, Treasurer and Frank H. Johnston, Secretary. Directors were Charles Williams, Don L. Betzing, Robert L. Jones, Wallace Bradford, Hiram Slawter, Rex Shenefield, Harold Carnahan, Roy Holter, L. E. Hoffman and Hugh Custer, with Charles E. Blakeslee, ex officio. Throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the Meigs County Fair has continued to grow and many improvements to the grounds have been made. The grandstand, built in 1890 still occupies its place alongside the race track. New horse barns, cattle barns, commercial and Junior Fair buildings have been built, and in 1988, a Rocksprings area log cabin and smokehouse from the 1820’s was moved to a permanent location on the fairgrounds. Wallace Bradford, William Downie and William Radford served as president of the board during much of the 1970’s, 1980’s and early 1990’s. In 1993 Dan Smith was named president. Virgil Windon held the office in 1995, with Dan being re-elected in 1996. Edward Holter was elected president in 2000 and remains president in 2013. Vice President; Robert Calaway, Treasurer; and Debbie Watson, secretary. Directors are William Buckley, Ken Buckley, Jennings Beegle, Howard Ervin, Jr., Roger Spencer, Leonard Koenig, Michael Parker, Karen Werry, David Watson, Jim Watson, and Brent Rose, with Harold Kneen, ex officio. Time has not allowed us to research fully the more recent years of the Meigs County Fair. However, our plans are to compile copies for each year from the county newspapers and produce a book which will be a documentation of one of Ohio’s oldest continuous county fairs. The book should offer a wonderful trip down memory lane for those who have fond memories of Meigs County and the Meigs County Fair. Research for this history was compiled from Meigs County newspapers, including the Meigs County Telegraph, Pomeroy Telegraph, Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph, Pomeroy Tribune, Tribune Telegraph, The Democrat, The Republican and The Sentinel and other holdings of the Meigs County Museum. Researched by Margaret Parker and the Rev. William Middleswarth of the Meigs County Historical Society and written by Margaret Parker. All rights to publication are reserved by the author.
