This announcement and several President Bill Clinton to campaign in Athens Staff Report ATHENS — Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to be in Athens on Tuesday as he campaigns for his wife. An email from the Hillary Clinton campaign on Thursday morning stated that Bill Clinton will campaign for Hillary Clinton on Oct. 4 and 5 in eastern Ohio and the Mahoning Valley as part of the “Stronger Together” bus tour. Public events are planned in Athens, Jefferson and Stark counties, with additional stops to take place along the way. Former President Clinton will lay out the high stakes of November’s election for Ohio’s working families and talk with Ohioans about Hillary Clinton’s plans to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top, according to the email. The bus tour occurs one week prior to Ohio’s voter registration deadline, Oct. 11, and the start of early voting, Oct. 12. Speciﬁc details on the time and location for the Athens event have not been announced. Bill Clinton’s stop in Athens comes following a stop by Hillary Clinton in Athens earlier this spring when she spoke at Jackie O’s Tap Room. Hillary Clinton’s visit came after the primary election in Ohio, but before she had ofﬁcially secured the Democratic nomination for President. others demonstrate positive signs for manufacturing in southern Ohio.” According to Smith, the job creation tax credit plan is one tool that gives incentives companies to bring business to a region.

The program up for consideration on the Nov. 8 ballot would cover the unincorporated areas of Meigs County. Those areas would have the opportunity to adopt an opt-out electric aggregation program which allows for community ofﬁcials to bring citizens together to buy electricity as a group, therefore negotiating a lower rate. The meetings will take place on Oct. 2 at 1 p.m. at Star Grange and Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Chester Firehouse. The commissioners are expected to take part in the meetings, as well as a representative from Palmer Energy. Ohio law allows for communities such as townships, cities and counties, to form aggregated buying groups to purchase electric generation on behalf of citizens. By voting for electric aggregation, community members would allow the commissioners to negotiate electric aggregation for the unincorporated areas of the county. �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2A Friday, September 30, 2016 Daily Sentinel DEATH NOTICES MEIGS COUNTY BRIEFS Editor’s Note: The Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis. and most commercial insurances are accepted.

If interested For 60673825 COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is reminding Ohioans of the state’s new child credit freeze law, which took effect Wednesday. “This law gives Ohio families a new way to protect their children from identity theft,” DeWine said. “It allows parents to ‘freeze’ their DeWine child’s credit record, which makes it harder for an imposter to open unauthorized accounts in the child’s name. We encourage parents and guardians to consider taking advantage of this new protection for their children.” Under the new law, a parent or guardian can ask the credit reporting agencies to create and freeze a credit record in the child’s name The freeze restricts the credit reporting agencies from releasing information about the child, making it more difficult for an imposter to use the child’s personal information to be approved for credit, loans, or services in the child’s name. To place a child security freeze, a parent should contact each of the credit reporting agencies. The major three agencies are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The parent must provide proof of authority to act on behalf of the child, such as a birth certificate, and proof of identity for both the child and the adult. The cost to place or to lift a security freeze may be up to $5 each per agency. For victims of identity theft, the fee may be waived. Once in place, the freeze will remain in effect unless it is lifted by the parent or by the child after reaching the age of 16. In addition to the protections for children, the new law also applies to protected consumers over the age of 16 for whom a guardian or conservator has been appointed. The legislation was sponsored by Rep. Ron Maag, who worked with DeWine’s Identity Theft Unit in its development. DeWine created the Identity Theft Unit in 2012 to help victims recover from the effects of identity theft, such as credit reporting errors and fraudulently opened accounts. Since its creation, the Identity Theft Unit has received thousands of complaints and has helped victims clear over $1 million in fraudulent debt. Victims of identity theft should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 1-800282-0515 or www. OhioProtects.org for assistance.

It is the assumption of some, for example, that Christians “do good” and “shun evil” in order to attain some sort of moral or spiritual sense of superiority over others. And there are some who suppose that an “agenda of good deeds” is the Christian way of securing for themselves power, position and wealth. Sadly, I cannot say that there are no wolves masquerading as sheep out there in “Christendom.” Nor can I deny that there are those who claim to be Christian, yet wear it as a badge or label simply because it is expedient for their personal ambitions (political, social, material, etc.). But setting aside such spiritual thuggery, the world might “condescend” to acknowledge that perhaps some ChrisThom Mollohan tians mean well (even if it is merely Contributing out of naivety or superstition). But even if it does so, it tends to be under Columnist the impression that sincere Believes do their good deeds to either earn God’s forgiveness and thereby escape hell, or to earn God’s favor and, consequently, reap blessings (material, physical, relational, and so on). In regard to the ﬁrst misconception, that good deeds are done to earn a salvation from everlasting torment, I have found myself perturbed every time that I have watched the movie “The African Queen” with Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. In it, Hepburn’s character, “Rosie”, is a missionary to Africa. As conﬂict grows with imperial Germans during World War I, Rosie believes that she and “Charlie” (Bogart’s character) are about to die, leaving this world for their eternal destiny. The prayer is interesting because it reveals what was, in the mid-twentieth Century, the understanding of Hollywood of what Christians believe about God and the so-called salvation that brought Rosie and her brother to preach in Africa. It is a salvation based on the good deeds one does to appease an angry and petulant God. Of course, the entertainment industry’s opinion toward Christianity and its message is far less benevolent than what it once was. But a salvation that is earned by doing good deeds (or by “eschewing evil”) is not the Gospel message. The message of the Gospel is that sinners, people who have not kept God’s Law (in either deed or in thought) and are therefore under God’s judgment, are granted forgiveness (and, subsequently, salvation) through faith (believing, receiving, and confessing) in Jesus Christ, His death, and resurrection. To not put too ﬁne a point on it, salvation is not something one earns. The second misconception, that Believers can earn God’s favor Who will then reward them because He is pleased, is one with which even Believers will wrestle. It is true that God is pleased with a man or woman who seeks to live a life that is pleasing to Him. It is even true that if we obey and serve Him that we are living lives that are aligned with His will and are therefore “positioned” best to be blessed. However, suffering and deprivation do not necessarily indicate a life with which God is displeased (just as wealth, success, and popularity do not mean that God favors the one who is enjoying them). It could be that a need in someone’s life is the arena in which God intends to bring a healing or some sort of miraculous intervention to demonstrate His loving power. It could be that a need is the “mission ﬁeld” to which God sends His loving provision as He works through the lives of Christians to address that need. Or it could be that a need is actually a personal wilderness to which God brings His loving presence. This last kind of circumstance isolates the afﬂicted and teaches him or her the awesome lesson of the sufﬁciency of Christ. “…A thorn was given me in the ﬂesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufﬁcient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:7b-10 ESV). After 2,000 years, one would like to believe that the misconceptions with which we as Believers contend would long ago have been laid to rest. It seems to me that a couple of millennia should more than sufﬁce in convincing us that the real wonder of the Christian experience is not the blessings of God showering down upon us, but rather the Blesser Himself Who has on His heart the priority of real and vital relationship with each of us. Happily, as God works in you and me to help us to love Him for Who He truly is, we will learn that our righteousness ﬂows from what He is inside of us. In the end, it is only His life spent for us, His life within us, and His life giving birth through us to kindness, sacriﬁce, joy, and a living message of hope that brings about a practical application of true goodness in our lives and in the physical world around us.

CHURCH Daily Sentinel Prepare wisely to meet God It is an awesome prospect about meeting God. But, people tend to not give it much serious consideration until life, limb or well-being is threatened. When I was a teenager, I had a paper route for several years. Growing up in Wardensville in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, most of our news came from the Winchester Evening Star newspaper of Winchester, Virginia, which was about 30 miles away. I maintained consistently a route of 120 customers. My papers were dropped off at W.D. Orndoff’s garage/service station there in Wardensville late each evening, Monday through Saturday. I would prop the bundle of papers up on the long soda cooler and quickly roll each with a rubber band, which took me about 10 minutes to roll the whole bundle. I usually took the time to consume a soda (15 cents) and a Smoothie (5 cents). Then, I would stuff the rolled papers into my paper-carrying sack, drape it over my shoulders, front and back, and hop on my bike for the long ride of home deliveries.

But, receiving Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior is the solitary answer for proper preparations for meeting God. That is why Christ died on the Cross. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Receiving Christ is the only way of being properly prepared to get into God’s Heaven. In the meantime, I thought to myself I needed to get home as quickly as I could. If Mom and Dad were there, then I would be assured that the Rapture had not happened and that I had not been left behind. If it had happened, they would not be there for sure. I put the pedal to the metal of that Western Flyer bicycle, and got home (probably) in record time. When I ran into the house, they were not there as I checked the rooms. But, then the porch door opened and they walked in from having been on a little walk down along the creek behind the house. I never did tell them why I was so glad to see them. In retrospect, what I had seen was probably the aurora borealis. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. GOD’S KIDS KORNER A mustard seed of faith goes a long way One day, Jesus was talking to His Disciples when one of them turned to Him and said, “Lord, increase our faith.” Jesus answered, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey.” Can you imagine what it would be like to have that kind of faith? (Luke 17: 5-6) Have you ever seen a mustard seed? It is tiny. In fact, the mustard seed is one of the smallest of all seeds, and yet, it grows into a large plant from which we can har- that it doesn’t take vest our mustard a lot of faith to profor hamburgers duce great results. and hot dogs.

What the mustard seed story: Jesus wanted His Disciples and us to realize is Don’t ask for a great faith just so you can brag or do great things yourself. Ask God to have real and honest faith in Him, even if it’s just the size of a mustard seed. Then you can watch what beautiful things God can do with something so small and know it’s God’s eternal love for us and our wellbeing. Let’s say a prayer. Dear Father, we ask for a mustard seed sized faith that is honest and pure in You. Help us to believe in Your mighty power forever and ever. In Your name we pray, Amen.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Blood of Christ is 100 percent effective Since the days of Louis Pasteur, mankind has been aware of the relationship between germs and disease. These unseen microorganisms enter into the body and cause us any number of physical problems. It is for this reason that we use various agents to try and kill said disease. Many times, the cleaners we use to sanitize our homes, ofﬁces and the like advertise how effective they are at getting rid of these unseen, but unwanted, pests. They will say something like, “proven to get rid of 99.9 percent of all household germs,” or words to that effect. But is it curious that they never claim to be 100 percent effective. They always leave themselves that 0.1 percent of a possibility that there is some super-germ somewhere that will be too tough for even the toughest cleansing agent. The Bible declares, however, that there is a cleaning agent that is 100 percent effective. Not effective at getting rid of germs, but rather effective at getting rid of an even worse malady: sin and it’s spiritual consequences. Some might not think sin to be so bad.

The blood of Christ, if we are willing to walk according to the Spirit, living our lives by the light of God’s word, is effective on 100 percent of all our sins. There is no sin that God cannot forgive through Christ if we will come to Him for that cleansing. This does not mean that all men everywhere will be forgiven. Just as a cleaning agent does no good in a bottle under your sink, it is only effective when applied, so too with the salvation Christ offers from sin. You must come to Him in faith (cf. John 8:24), you must repent of those sins (cf. Luke 13:3) and you must be buried with Christ in baptism (cf. Acts 2:38, 22:16). When you have done these things, the sin is gone. As the Scriptures elsewhere say, you have been washed as white as new-fallen snow, not a blot or a stain remains (cf. Isaiah 1:18) It is, in every case, 100 percent effective. If you desire to learn more about God’s plan of salvation in Christ, the church of Christ invites you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis.

See RAIDERS | 2B Tornadoes advance to district golf meet By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Before the rain swept across Chillicothe on Wednesday, the Tornadoes took their turn ﬁrst. That’s because the Southern High School golf team punched its ticket to Monday’s Division III district tournament, having ﬁnished fourth at the sectional meet at the Chillicothe Jaycees Golf Course. The Tornadoes were one of ﬁve teams to qualify for the district meet, ﬁring a team total of 362 to place fourth. And, Southern wasn’t far from ﬁrst either. Adena and Waterford won the sectional with team scores of 355, followed closely by Southeastern at 357. The ﬁfth and ﬁnal qualifying spot went to Huntington, which had a team total of 381. The Eastern Eagles also competed at Chillicothe, and were seventh with a 411. So too did the four-person South Gallia Rebels, which shot a 601. The top four individual scores counted towards the team total, of which the Tornadoes tallied four scores within 10 strokes of each other. Jensen Anderson amounted an 86, followed immediately by an 87 from fellow sophomore Jarrett Hupp. Jonah Hoback had a 94 and Ryan Acree a 95 for the other counting cards, as Southern’s non-counting score was a 109 from senior Tanner Thorla. Anderson shot a 45 on the front nine and a 41 on the back, while Hupp had a 44 and a 43. Hoback had a 46 and a 48, as Acree amassed a 53 before bouncing back on the back side with a 42. John Little — in his ﬁnal match — led Eastern with a 97, while sophomore John Harris hit a pair See TORNADOES | 2B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, September 30 Football Parkersburg South at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Federal Hocking at Southern, 7 p.m. Belpre at South Gallia, 7:30 Wellston at River Valley, 7:30 Fairland at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Eastern at Waterford, 7:30 Meigs at Nelsonville-York, 7:30 Wahama at Trimble, 7:30 Volleyball Ohio Valley Christian at Teays Valley Christian, 6 p.m. College Cross Country Rio Grande at All-Ohio Championships at Cedarville, Ohio Saturday, October 1 Cross Country River Valley at Piketon, 10 a.m. Eastern at Pickerington North, 10 a.m. Point Pleasant at Ritchie County, 11 a.m. Soccer Shady Spring at Point Pleasant girls, 1 p.m. Point Pleasant boys at St. Mary’s, 2 p.m. College Football Kansas State at West Virginia, 3:30 Rutgers at The Ohio State University, noon Ohio University at Miami (OH), 2:30 Marshall University at Pittsburgh, 7:30 College Volleyball Rio Grande at WVU-Tech Tournament College Soccer Midway University at Rio Grande women, 7 p.m. �6/B��+A6/Cl�& �#:9<>= Meigs sophomore Zach Bartrum hauls in a pass during the Marauders’ victory over Gallia Academy, in Gallipolis on August 26. ‘Does face Fed Hock on Homecoming Eagles travel to Waterford, Meigs heads to NY feat Meigs hasn’t accomplished since 1998-99.

Kennedy Prize and author of more than 200 international scientiﬁc papers on human body cells. But now he’s come up with what the medical world considers his greatest accomplishment — A vital compound. so powerful, it’s reported to repair… even regrow damaged brain cells. In layman’s terms — Bring back your memory power. And leave you feeling more focused and clear-headed than you have in years! Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; “Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised. And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life”. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This affects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20’s and 30’s. Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. “When we are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky “our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”…unfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration. As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names… misplace your keys… or just feel “a little confused”. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed off as just another “senior moment,” it’s not very funny when it keeps happening to you. The Missing Link is Found and Tested It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this one vital nutrient phosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a huge difference in our mental wellness. 17 different double blind studies with placebo controlled groups have been involved in the clinical research of PS with patients between the ages of 55-80 years of age. Periodically the researchers gave these patients memory and cognitive tests and the results were simply amazing: 1) PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests 100% Success Rate 2) After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function 3) After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this… they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy. In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unaffected….no mental or mood improvement at all.

It has been written up and published in leading science and medical journals and its ﬁndings have electriﬁed the International scientiﬁc community. Earth-Shaking Science Published, clinical reports show replenishing your body’s natural supply of Phosphatidylserine, not only helps sharpen your memory and concentration — but also helps “perk you up” and put you in a better mood. PS as it turns out also helps to reduce everyday stress and elevate your mood by lowering your body’s production of the hormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are too high for too long you experience fatigue, bad moods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstream fast (in as little as thirty minutes).

My Memory Started to Scare Me. I would forget all kinds of things and something that I just said earlier in the day would have completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot my granddaughter’s birthday and that would have been horrible. I had forgotten lots of other little things along the way. I was worried about it. Over the last several months I’ve noticed my memory seemed to be getting pretty unreliable and so I thought I’d better do something about it now. So when I read about this amazing PS nutrient and how much it would help me with my memory I wanted to try it. It’s great! I have actual recall now, which is super. After about 6 weeks of taking it on a daily basis is when I began to notice that I wasn’t forgetting things anymore. Thanks to PS for giving me my memory back. It’s given me a lot more self-conﬁdence and self-esteem. I would not trust my memory without it. - Ethel Macagnoney Special Opportunity For Our Readers We’ve made arrangements with the distributor of this proprietary blend of PS, which combines with several other proven special brain boosting natural ingredients to give you the mental clarity and memory gain that you need, to give you a Risk-Free trial supply.

Chamber Director Whitney Thoene told the Sentinel that the chamber utilizes the PACE model of “Promote, Advocate, Communicate and Educate” to help businesses. The “Shop Local” campaign helps promote shopping at local businesses and supporting local small businesses. Thoene said that in the coming months the a main focus will be on the holiday season and customers looking to shop for holiday items. The chamber also helps let the public know what is going on at area businesses through ad campaigns, television commercials, coupon books and announcements. As for educating, Thoene explained that the previous chamber luncheons have become more like round-table discussions to allow for those in attendance to have input as well as to network. In addition, there are business after-hours events, with the next one scheduled for Oct. 11 at New Era on Memorial Drive. The exact time for the event will be announced at a later date. The Cash Mob event is one of the chamber’s newest events and will return for a second edition in November (see related article). The “crown jewel” for the chamber is the annual Gala, in which business and the community come together to recognize those who are making an impact. Six awards are to be presented at the Oct. 20 Gala, including, the Economic Impact Award, the Entrepreneur Award, the Best First Impression, the David P. Baker Award, Community Pillar, and the Lifetime Business Achievement. Recognition is important, Thoene said, noting that it is important for individuals and businesses to feel appreciated. The chamber recently hit the 90-member mark, and includes a range of businesses. The Meigs County Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1989. Formerly the Pomeroy Chamber of Commerce, it was expanded to include the entire county. Together, the chamber board, along with the director, work to better the community through the growth and promotion of local businesses. The chamber’s mission statement is: “Elevating the standard of business through communication and information.” Chamber presents ‘business-minded’ program Staff Report POMEROY — Meigs County Chamber of Commerce members were treated to a program in which they learned ways to make the most of their membership. During a recent “Business Minded Luncheon” late last month, the Meigs chamber presented a program titled, “Chamber 101: How to Make the Most of Your Membership.” Chamber Director Whitney Thoene presented the beneﬁts of joining the Meigs County chamber. “There are a lot of beneﬁts to joining the chamber,” Thoene said. “We are working on the PACE method: Promote, Advocate, Connect and Educate.” According to its website, people who want to start a new business should consider joining the Meigs chamber. Many are not sure where to begin, so the chamber has complied resources that are all in one place to help a new business get started. In the presentation, many of the cost-savings beneﬁts were discussed. These included Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) and insurance breaks. “The BWC savings range from $140 to $6,628. The average savings is $1,288,” Thoene said. Other beneﬁts presented included assistance with promotional materials and website design. The “Shop Local” campaign and its expansion were also reviewed. The luncheon was at Wolfe Mountain Entertainment. Swisher and Lohse Pharmacy and Wolfe Mountain Entertainment co-sponsored the event. The chamber is a non-proﬁt advocate for its business. The board of directors is made up of volunteers who promote civic, commercial, industrial and agricultural progress within the community. Being a member in a chamber of commerce allows people to promote to the outside world that their business belongs to something important.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Chamber of Commerce will hold its second Cash Mob event later this fall after introducing the program earlier this year. Cash Mob is the latest part of the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce’s “Love Meigs, Shop Local” campaign that aims to generate business trafﬁc throughout the county. The second Cash Mob event will take place Nov. 10 at King’s Hardware in Middleport. Chamber director Whitney Thoene said that the evening will include several $10 deals throughout the store, as well as giveaways and drawings. Front Paige Outﬁtters in Pomeroy was the site of the ﬁrst Cash Mob, and store owner Paige Cleek said the event was a success. “This was successful,” she said. “I would recommend other chamber members participate. This was a great way to promote local shopping.” A Cash Mob is based on a ﬂash mob — people show up at a designated place and time, except they are not expected to sing and dance. Instead, people are encouraged to spend at least $10 at the store. Cleek said if even half the community Courtesy photo Paige Cleek, owner of Front Paige Outfitters, and her mother, April Smith, stand behind the counter during a Cash Mob event. comes out and spends a little bit of money, it can have a huge impact on the business. The Cash Mob also promises to be a great time to socialize, she added. “It is a new event that’s a little different. It gives people a chance to check out what we have to offer while support the local business community,” Cleek said. “We’re hoping to ‘mob’ a different business each time and turn this into something fun and exciting for everyone.” There will be several exclusive Cash Mob deals that will only be available during the event (4-6 p.m.) as well as drawings for the “mobbers.” “We want everyone to see that every little bit helps, whether it is for $5 or $100, every purchase impacts our small businesses,” said Lori Miller, chamber president. Small businesses are essential to the community, Miller said, adding that it is important to support them year-round. The Cash Mob is an event that will showcase a different store each time. Front Paige Outﬁtters sells a variety of items including clothing for women and men, accessories, and boots. FPO has Levi’s, Carhartt, Life Is Good, Georgia Justin Boots and Red Wing.

Who’s Your Mudder? a 2015 success Staff Report POMEROY —The Meigs County Chamber of Commerce will host the Pink Power 5K run/ walk on Saturday, Oct. 1. The run will take place at 9 a.m. at the Meigs County Fairgrounds, with a pre-race presentation at 8:45 a.m. With October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the race is being held to help raise awareness for the importance of mammograms and breast health, as well as to show support for those who are battling the disease, said chamber Director Whitney Thoene. Pink with Purpose Meigs County and Pleasant Valley Hospital will be among those at the event to provide resources and information to those in attendance. This will be the ﬁrst Pink Power run for the chamber after hosting the Who’s Your Mudder? 5K the past two years. The chamber worked with the Meigs County Health Department who secured a grant through Together with Diabetes. The 2015 mud run event had 31 runners. “We are grateful for everyone who participated in the mud run as well as those who came out to help,” stated Dan Short, president of the Meigs chamber. The race course spanned most of the fairgrounds. Runners began in front of the Thompson building, dashed across the top of the fairgrounds, and then faced the race track. Participants ﬁnished in the same place they began. Obstacles were also Who’s Your Mudder? participants proudly show off their “war paint.” Courtesy photos Crawling is one of the ways in which a participant makes their way thorugh the event. found throughout the race. They included a slide, several crawlthroughs, muddy hills, a mud pit, rope cube crawl through, and many others. Chester, Racine and Rutland ﬁre departments helped wet down the track. Unlike the mud run, the Pink Power run will not include obstacles and will instead route participants around the fairgrounds, avoiding the steep hill at the fairgrounds which had been of concern.

The annual event was held April 1 with a The Wizard of Oz theme, centered on “There’s No Place Like Home,” which is how the chamber feels about Meigs County. This event is the chamber’s largest fundraiser of the year and was held at resort with the support of the facility’s new owners, Andrew and Therese Campbell. Approximately 100 people attended the dinner. The main course of steak, chicken or salmon was prepared by “Tom Reed and his famous grill team.” The highlight of the Spring Dinner was the Silent and Live Auction, with Mark Porter returning as the auctioneer. Area businesses and individuals donate a variety of items to the chamber fundraiser, and auction items are sometimes creative. They have included live trees, picnic tables, a covered wagon, wine, various themed baskets and whiskey cherries. One special auction item this year was a one-year dorm voucher sponsored by Rio Grande Community College, valued at $4,700. A number of attendees banded together to win the bid, and plan to use it as a scholarship award, which will be managed by the Meigs chamber. Dr. Michelle Johnston, president of the University of Rio Grande, presented the donation. DJ Kip Grueser provided entertainment for the night that was organized by chamber director Whitney Thoene and board members Tina Wood Richards, Amber Johnson and Tammy Grueser.

If everyone would spend their dollars in this county, it would go a long way. We need to support our local businesses.” Chamber President Dan Short began his review of the chamber’s accomplishments with chuckles from the audience as he said he was told he only had 15 minutes to present 25 years of accomplishments. “Which mean I only have a few seconds for each year, and we have so many things to be proud of,” he said. “We pulled two chambers together and formed the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce 25 years ago.
