The third fair was held at Middleport. The fourth fair was held on Sept. 28 and 29, 1854, in Chester. The fifth fair was held on Sept. 26 and 27, 1855 near Pomeroy. Admission was 10 cents. In 1858 it was reported fairgoers enjoyed a concert ball and fireworks along with the agricultural displays. The tenth annual fair was held at Racine, Sept. 19 and 20, 1860. No fair was held in 1861 and 1863, “because of the excited state of the country,” (referring to the Civil War). No local papers are available for 1863 and 1864, so it is assumed the fair was also postponed during those years. In 1865 the fair was again held, and harness racing had been added to the program. The first part of the current Rocksprings Fairgrounds was purchased in 1868 from Leonard and Jane Carleton and consisted of 10 1/4 acres. A second tract was secured from the Salisbury School Board in 1869.

HARRISONVILLE — A free COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio doctor charged with 25 counts of murder is now scheduled for trial next June and has two new lawyers, including one known for successfully defending high-profile clients such as Casey Anthony and Aaron Hernandez. That lawyer, Florida-based Jose Baez, called the charges against William Husel “somewhat baffling” but wouldn’t comment on defense strategy Wednesday after a hearing, where some court dates were reset and Baez and Columbus lawyer Diane Menashe were accepted as the new defense team. Husel didn’t speak during the hearing. The Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health System found that Husel ordered excessive painkillers for about three dozen hospital patients who died over the past several years. When Husel pleaded not guilty , a different lawyer representing him at that point said the 43-year-old doctor was providing comfort care for dying patients, not trying to kill them. Baez declined to comment on that Wednesday. Husel was charged only in cases involving 500 to 2,000 micrograms of the powerful painkiller fentanyl. Prosecutors said those amounts point to his intent because they were so much larger than typical doses. But people who know Husel describe him as a sincere man who became a doctor because he wanted to help people, Baez said. Baez said he was persuaded by “the man looking me in the eye and telling me he’s absolutely innocent.” It’s one of the biggest cases of its kind against an American health care professional. Because of the extensive publicity it has drawn, Franklin County Judge Michael Holbrook said the court will start with a larger-than-usual pool of jurors — potentially 1,000 people. Holbrook said the trial might take a couple of months. AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 436-840) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Sunday and Tuesday through Friday.

OxyContin maker negotiating settlement By Andrew Welsh-Huggins and Sarah Skidmore Sell Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Purdue Pharma would devote its profits to cleaning up the devastation wrought by opioids, and the controlling Sackler family would be out, under a $10 billion to $12 billion nationwide settlement taking shape at the negotiating table, according to published reports Wednesday. The agreement, if it comes to pass, would resolve more than 2,000 lawsuits brought against the maker of OxyContin by state and local governments. Under the proposal on the table, Purdue Pharma would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and transform itself into a “public benefit trust corporation,” with all profits from drug sales and other proceeds going to the plaintiffs, news reports said, citing a document outlining the tentative agreement. The Wall Street Journal said the arrangement would stay in place for seven to 10 years and would be overseen by trustees named by the bankruptcy court. Details of the proposed settlement were also reported by NBC and The New York Times. The Sacklers would give up ownership of Purdue Pharma and contribute $3 billion of their own money toward the total, the reports said. They would also sell another pharmaceutical company, Mundipharma, which would add $1.5 billion to the settlement. In addition, Purdue Pharma would supply its addiction treatment drugs free to the public. It was not immediately clear whether the reconstituted company would continue to sell opioids. Purdue Pharma also makes laxatives, antiseptics and dietary supplements. In a statement, the Stamford, Connecticutbased company did not confirm any of the details but said it sees little good in years of “wasteful litigation and appeals.” “Purdue believes a constructive global resolution is the best path forward, and the company is actively working with the state attorneys general and other plaintiffs to achieve this outcome,” it said. Paul Farrell Jr., a lead plaintiffs’ lawyer representing local governments in the negotiations going on in Cleveland, said all sides remain under a gag order: “All we can confirm is that we are in active settlement discussions with Purdue.” Attorneys general representing several states also confirmed the accelerated negotiations. “Our mission here has always been clear — make Purdue Pharma and the other manufacturers and distributors pay for what they did to Pennsylvania and its people, and put the Sackler family out of the opioid business for good,” said Jacklin Rhoads, a spokeswoman for Pennsylvania’s attorney general. While the U.S. has many “public benefit corporations,” creating one to settle a civil action would be a novel approach, said John Coffee, a law professor and director of the Center on Corporate Governance at Columbia Law School. In general, public benefit corporations have charters that dictate that they operate not to maximize profits for shareholders but to benefit some other purpose, such as a charity or research, he said. Coffee said that he has never heard specifically of a “public benefit corporation trust” and that it sounded like a hybrid — a business run by trustees. The opioid overdose epidemic has killed more than 400,000 people in the U.S. since 2000 and torn apart communities. Purdue Pharma and other players in the industry have been barraged with lawsuits, with the first federal trial scheduled to start in Cleveland in two months. Purdue has been cast by attorneys and addiction experts as a chief villain in the crisis. While its painkillers represent a very small piece of the opioid market, the lawsuits accuse it of playing a central role in creating demand for the drugs by downplaying OxyContin’s addiction risks and pushing doctors hard to prescribe it. New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement that the Sackler family “started a national fire” and has “made billions profiting from death and destruction.” The Sacklers were ranked America’s 19thrichest family by Forbes magazine in 2016, with a net worth estimated at $13 billion. In March, Purdue and the Sackler family reached a $270 million settlement with Oklahoma over the opioid scourge. On Monday, an Oklahoma judge found Johnson & Johnson responsible for fueling the state’s opioid crisis and ordered the maker of such familiar household products as Band-Aids and baby powder to pay $572 million to help clean up the problem. It was the first opioid lawsuit brought against the industry by a state to go to trial, and activists expressed hope the verdict would turn up the pressure on other companies to settle. Members of the Sackler family are major philanthropists who have given money to cultural institutions around the world, including the Smithsonian Institution, New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and London’s Tate Modern. But in recent months, institutions have come under pressure to sever ties to the Sacklers and take the family name off their walls.

COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost recently joined other states in calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to urge telecom companies to implement practices that would protect consumers from illegal robocalls and caller ID spoofing. Today’s comment letter to the FCC follows an announcement this past week that 12 phone service providers have already agreed to adopt many of the practices as part of an initiative with Yost’s office and 50 other attorneys general. “A popular concept in business is that the customer is always right,” Yost said. “Well the customers have spoken: It’s time to make this call-blocking technology free and accessible to everyone.” In the comments to the FCC, the coalition of attorneys general say telecom providers should: Offer free, automatic call-blocking services to all customers. The call-block services should be based on reasonable analytics and should not block important calls, including emergency alerts or automated calls that customers have signed up for, like medical reminders. Monitor network traffic to identify patterns consistent with robocalls and take action to cut off the calls or notify law enforcement. Implement STIR/SHAKEN caller ID callauthentication technology, which will help ensure that phone calls originate from secure, verified numbers, not spoofed sources. The coalition supports the FCC’s proposal to take regulatory action against telecom companies that do not comply with STIR/SHAKEN. Develop caller ID authentication to prevent robocalls to landline telephones. This is particularly urgent because many victims of robocall scams are elderly or live in rural areas and primarily use landline technology. Yost joins attorneys general from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. in signing the comment letter. A copy of the comments is available here.

The Division of Labor will now create its scope of work for the project, which will include the acceptance of new contractor license applications and renewals for several other licensees online at a single, one-stop location. In a seamless process, payments will go directly through the West Virginia State Treasurer’s secure online service at no added cost to users. “Our Division has accepted renewal applications and electronic payments via our website for several years and the opportunity to add this process to the One Stop Business Portal was not a hard decision,” Commissioner Woodrum said. “We will continue to work with �Opinion 4 Thursday, August 29, 2019 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Adolescent diabetes is more aggressive Type 2 diabetes differs from Type 1. Type 1 usually refers to the disease that shows up in less than 10% of all cases of diabetes. It used to be called Juvenile Diabetes. In the past, Type 2 was a term reserved for adults with abnormal blood glucose readings. The number of adolescents with Type 2 diabetes has been increasing. Another name for this is Mature Onset Diabetes in Youth or MODY. Medical practitioners have become more concerned with the growing Bobbie numbers of young people developing Randall Type 2 diabetes. There are children Contributing as young as 4 years old with Type 2 columnist diabetes. This is different from Type 1. Increasing weight, inactivity and stressful living environments along with a hereditary tendency trigger consistent abnormal blood glucose levels. The warning period of prediabetes is usually not recognized by parents, teachers and physicians. Children with Type 2 diabetes are treated with medication, a lifestyle change, consistent exercise, and a modified meal plan. The dynamics of these many changes must affect the entire family. More often than not, therapeutic changes fall short. A nationally recognized study of adolescents with Type 2 diabetes revealed some surprising data that urgently requires additional research. The life span and the quality of life of these youngsters are in jeopardy. Type 2 diabetes is more aggressive in adolescents that in adults. By the time those with MODY reach their 25 birthday, they must deal with disease-related complications commonly seen in older people. Researchers from the Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora now have the first-ever true comparison of outcomes in the youth versus adults. The disease is more aggressive in the young than in adults. Data disclosed that a more aggressive breakdown in pancreatic function occurs for younger patients. This results in severe complications by their early 20s. Organ damage and serious cardiovascular events are occurring. Heart failure, arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, stroke and vascular insufficiency are prevalent with Type 2 diabetes adolescents within the first 10 years of this disease. More maternal complications occur and the babies also face additional complications. An increase of miscarriages, preterm births and offspring outcomes are worse in mothers with Type 2 diabetes at a young age. Serious eye problems are on the rise as well. The prevalence of diabetic neuropathy or nerve damage also increases. There are more amputations caused by poor healing wounds with Mature Onset Diabetes in Youth. A decline in kidney function and renal disease is common in Type 2 adults but is now more aggressive when Type 2 diabetes develops during childhood. Researchers are finding that children and adolescents with Type 2 diabetes have problems that are expected in their grandparents within 10 years of diagnosis. These research outcomes can be turned around. Some doctors are relying on stomach reduction surgery. Family dynamics and behavioral changes must change to address this growing problem. A family history of diabetes, limited exercise, excessive empty calories resulting in obesity and a stressful situation are all triggers for Type 2 in adolescents.

THEIR VIEW The sounds of summer Just the other day I was thinking about the sounds of summer when we lived here with eight children in the house. As I remember it, some were exclusively summer sounds, and others were year-round sounds that were magnified by summer. Exclusively speaking were the shrieks and splashes that came in all of our opened windows from the wading pool. These were usually followed by the splish splash of wet feet heading toward our refrigerator for refreshments. Then there would be the soggy sploosh as a kid in a wet swimsuit sagged onto the couch. That was followed by this mother’s shrieks to remove the wet body from the previously dry couch. Another summer exclusive was talk about the humidity. We were riding in the car one day when a voice from the back seat complained that the window was all sticky. “Of course, dummy, it’s the humidity,” was the superior reply from another back- mometer effect seat rider. But that took over with was immediately the close couple. trumped by anothThe thermometer er backseat comeffect occurs when panion who said, a blush begins at “Is not!

That sound was often folspeaker and the ther- lowed by the sound of a car motor as junior was returned home. When we’re on the porch now we hear the neighbor kids playing outside, but with airconditioning and fans, the windows are closed against those happy sounds. Again, due to air-conditioning, car windows are usually up, which eliminates conversations between cars, unless it’s by cell phone. The one sound that has been magnified over the years is the silence I spoke of before, the emptiness, because so many who were here all those years ago are gone now. I am fortunate because I do not live alone, but I do miss the ones who are gone. AUTHOR’S NOTE; This column was first published in the Greenville Advocate June 13, 2007.

The Meigs volleyball team began its 2019 TriValley Conference Ohio Division campaign in style on Tuesday in Jackson County, defeating host Wellston in a five game match. The Lady Rockets led wire-to-wire in the opener, scoring the first six points and rolling to a 25-10 victory. After falling behind 7-4 in the second game, Meigs (2-3, 1-0 TVC Ohio) bounced back with a 21-to-7 run to take a 25-14 win and even the match. After 18 points were played in the third game, the teams were tied at nine, the eighth time they were even. MHS claimed the next five points, but Wellston was back in front after a 9-to-1 run. The Lady Marauders claimed the next seven points, however, and led the rest of the way to the 25-21 win. The fourth game featured five lead changes, the last of which had the Lady Rockets going up 21-20 en route to the 25-22 win. WHS scored the first point of the deciding game, but Meigs took the lead with a 5-0 run. Wellston regained the advantage at 8-7, but the Lady Marauders scored the next five points and never looked back on the way to the matchclinching 15-11 win. Bre Zirkle led the Maroon and Gold with 16 points, followed by Kylee Mitch, Baylee Tracy and Mallory Hawley with 10 points each. Hannah Durst came up with five points for MHS, while Maci Hood and Jewels Conley both marked two. These teams will meet again on Sept. 19 in Rocksprings. Lady Marauders will be back in action at River Valley on Tuesday. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

Russo usual,” Marotti said. “I’ll make sure the players are on task. All the things that I’ve done for Coach Meyer, I’m going to do for you.” The Buckeyes went 3-0 without Meyer and Day was the obvious successor when Meyer stepped down after the season. Aside from remaking the defensive staff, Day also hired Mike Yurcich away from Oklahoma State to be offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. Day, however, will remain the primary play-caller. Whether to continue focusing on one side of the ball is a decision coaches often struggle with when they become head coaches. Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly and Florida State’s Willie Taggart are two high-profile examples of coaches who decided they needed to move away from their field of expertise to better lead the program. Because the infrastructure and culture at Ohio State was so solid, Day said that wasn’t necessary. He has so much confidence in people such as Marotti and assistant athletic director for player personnel Mark Pantoni, who leads one of the most comprehensive recruiting operations in the country, Day was comfortable remaining heavily involved with the offense. “I think what you find is when you have time to yourself where does your mind go?” Day said. “When you’re a coordinator typically it’s scheme. It’s your offense. It’s what the defense is going to bring that week and it really comes down to that. When you become a head coach, there’s a lot more that goes through that brain and you’ve got to look at it from a lot of different angles. And I think because we’re surrounded with such great people that I can lean on them.” Day expects the same level of discipline, work ethic and toughness from his team that Meyer demanded. “It’s just different,” Marotti said. “It’s the same, like, you’re shooting for the same product, but it’s just done differently.” Day has established a foundation with his wife, Christina, focused on pediatric and adolescent mental health, and in doing so has gone public with his father’s suicide. Day was 9 when his father killed himself. That influences the way Day wants to run his football program. “So I think we’ve really done a great job ... of building up their bodies physically. We’ve almost maximized them. But I think we’re still a long way away up here,” Day said, pointing to his head. In the Bearcats’ opening win last season at UCLA, Kelley was held to 20 yards on six carries. The Bruins need a big game from their senior running back, who averaged 113 yards (fourth in the Pac-12) and had On the line Cincinnati lost three six 100-yard games last starters from a line that season. anchored the American Athletic’s top defense. Home sweet home Cincinnati’s two losses last season were on the road — at Temple and at UCF. The Bearcats were 6-0 at home, though there were no games of this magnitude. “I’m excited to see what Nippert Stadium is going to be like,” Fickell said. “I’ve never seen it at night in prime time, what it can really be like.” AP College Football Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio — The head coach’s office at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center is right off the locker room. A player could step out of one and right into the other. To encourage the Buckeyes to do just that, Ryan Day made a few changes to the space since taking over for Urban Meyer. The area closest to the locker room door, where Meyer used to have the desk, is now set up like a den. Two brown leather couches face each other, and two comfy chairs form a semicircle around a wooden chest that serves as a coffee table. Each couch faces a 75-inch television mounted on a wall. The big addition: an electric fire place built into the wall. Day is taking over an Ohio State program that went 83-9 in seven seasons under Meyer, who won one of his three national championships here. The Buckeyes hardly needed a makeover and Day has not felt compelled to put his stamp on Ohio State as he transitioned from offensive coordinator to head coach. He hired an almost entirely new defensive coaching staff, but coming off the worst statistical season ever for an Ohio State defense there was nothing forced about that. Jerry Emig | Ohio State Athletics via AP Ohio State football coach Ryan Day’s office at the Woody Hayes Center on the Ohio State campus in Columbus, Ohio, is right off the locker room. Day has taken over from Urban Meyer, who went 83-9 in seven seasons and won one of his three national championships with the Buckeyes. “I have a certain security about me that I’m not going to change just to say it’s mine. You know, it’s not,” Day said a couple days after moving back into his renovated office. “It’s Ohio State’s. It’s the program’s.” But make no mistake: There is a different vibe around the fifth-ranked Buckeyes as they enter the first season without Meyer and it emanates from the 40-year-old Day. “He has a totally different approach,” junior tight Jake Hausmann said. “I think he wants players to be more open to coming up to him and asking questions that players would feel comfortable asking. He just redid his office and he was saying that this is your guys’ place. I want you guys to come in here and feel comfortable.” Few football coaches can be called easy going. Compared to Meyer, Day is more approachable. Meyer was intense and could come across as intimidating to those who didn’t know him well. Being one of the greatest coaches in college football history made him a larger-thanlife figure. “Coach Meyer had just an aura around him and players felt it,” said Mickey Marotti, who oversees the team’s strength and conditioning program. Marotti was Meyer’s right-hand man going back to his time at Cincinnati Mayfield to star in ads living in stadium MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio (AP) — Baker Mayfield has a new teammate. She rocks a headband, too. The Browns’ charismatic quarterback has entered a marketing partnership with Progressive and will star alongside his wife, Emily Wilkinson, in a national advertising campaign for the insurance giant. The ad shows the couple as new homeowners inside a football stadium. The “At Home with Baker Mayfield” TV commercials are scheduled to debut on Sept. 5, three days before the Browns play their season opener against the Tennessee Titans, and run through the NFL season. Mayfield has become one of the league’s rising young stars after breaking the rookie touchdown pass record in 2018. He’s quickly adding to his business portfolio while reviving a Cleveland football franchise that didn’t win a single game the season before he arrived. Progressive is known for its innovative ads featuring Flo, the frisky, headband-and-apron wearing character who has become a brand icon. “I was drawn to Progressive because it’s a highenergy, winning team,” said Mayfield, who walked on at Texas Tech and Oklahoma before becoming a Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick. “They thrive on accomplishing what’s never been done before and what others say can’t be done. My life story and process have been different from others, so I felt right at home with Progressive because their journey has been a little different, as well. “Emily and I both feel like it’s OK to be unique, prove doubters wrong, and be proud of it. We think it’ll be fun for people to tune in throughout the season to see how the whole story unfolds.” Mayfield got married this summer before training camp, and the light-hearted, 30-second ads with Emily will feature the newlyweds dealing with typical domestic issues — mowing the grass , plumbing and electrical problems — at their abnormally large “home.” “From our first meeting with Baker months ago, we saw something special with him and set out to showcase his story, and our brand, in a different light,” said Jeff Charney, Progressive’s chief marketing officer. “To that end, we tossed out the typical ‘athlete-as-spokesperson’ model and took a more modern, content-rich and episodic approach that’s characteristic of today’s network shows. There’s no glorified pro-athlete persona or hard-sell messaging, just highly relatable, everyday moments between Baker, Emily . and their rather unique 68,000-seat ‘stadium home.’” Meigs From page 6 of Blaine Cline, Dalton Mershon and Joel Horner added identical tallies of 64, with two of those counting in the final team From page 6 The big stage This is Cincinnati’s 19th Thursday night game, its first since a game against Austin Peay in 2017.

Day and Marotti were already close, but the relationship went to a new place last year. Day became acting head coach when Meyer was placed on leave as Ohio State investigated his handling of fired assistant coach Zach Smith, who had been accused of domestic abuse.

One night after having their home winning streak ended at 13 matches, the Gallia Academy volleyball team defeated Ohio Valley Conference guest Portsmouth in straight games to stretch their league winning streaks to 45 straight matches and 55 consecutive games. After the Lady Trojans’ 1-0 lead in the opening game, GAHS (2-1, 2-0 OVC) — which has never lost an OVC match on its home court — scored the next three points and didn’t trail again on its way to a 25-12 victory. Portsmouth took its biggest lead of the night at 8-4 in the second game, but Gallia Academy claimed 11 of the next 13 markers and led the rest of the way to the 25-16 win. The Blue Angels finished the night with a wire-to-wire 25-7 victory in the third.

Two of the best active tight ends are coming off record-breaking seasons, and another one just had the best year of his career. Eagles star Zach Ertz made 116 receptions, a single-season mark by a tight end. San Francisco tight end George Kittle had 1,377 yards receiving, setting another single-season record at the position. Two-time All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce was spectacular as well, setting career highs in catches (103), yards receiving (1,336) and touchdowns (10) last season. The 25-year-old Kittle keeps track of peers on his iPad, studying every move made by most of the starting tight ends. He takes a particularly close look at how the 29-year-old Kelce and 28-year-old Ertz are perhaps the best in the business at the position. “I just try to pull stuff from them,” Kittle said. “Ertz and Kelce are two of the top guys in the league, so if I can learn something from them, I can get to that level, too.” ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The day before Tony Gonzalez was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this month, he was asked about being a something of a pioneer at tight end. A guy who changed his position — and the game itself. Gonzalez sort of shrugged. “I guess everyone is doing it now,” he admitted of tight ends being used in a manner that Gonzalez didn’t exactly invent, but certainly perfected. The pass-happy, vertical-stretching NFL is shifting away from relying heavily on formations with one tight end in a three-point stance. Instead, many teams feature offenses with one tight end next to a tackle on the line while sending a tight end to the slot or spread out even wider in some formations. Star tight end Jason Witten, who returned to the Cowboys after one year working on “Monday Night Football,” said Gonzalez, whose 17-year career ended in 2003, changed things with his route-running and pass-catching skills at the position. “Gonzalez kind of paved the way of my generation of, ‘All right, this is a By Bryan Walters hosts scored consecutive goals to knot the game at three.
