Fair to open with brand-new grandstandBy STEVE RAPPACH

Staff Writer

LISBON —Of all the changes made at the

Columbiana County Fair, the most visible

change will be to its famed grandstand.

After nearly a year of planning, demoli-

tion, donation collection and construction,

the Columbiana County Fair is ready tounveil the completion of its biggest projectin fair history with the brand new grandstandJuly 28 when the fair opens.

“It’ s unbelievable,” board vice presidentSteve Knizat said. “It’ s a tremendous oppor-tunity for us to use this for the fair.”

Built by Dant Clayton Corp. of

Louisville, Kentucky, the new steel grand-stand has a seating capacity of 2,500, over1,000 more than the original grandstand,and includes 26 inches for legroom to allowcomfort for attendees. Handicap accessibleseating is also available along the front row.

Along with a new look for the grandstandcomes a brand new experience for attendees.

A new sports lighting system has beeninstalled at the main grandstand to betterlight the events at night, and older lights willbe used for other areas of the grandstand andother arenas. Board president John Wolfknows that safety was important for every-

The new grandstand continues to be built in order to be open for the beginning of the fair.


LISBON, Ohio—The Columbiana Coun-ty Agriculture Hall of Fame selection com-mittee elected three individuals to the Classof 2014: Russell N. Cook, of FairfieldTownship; James W. Cooper, of HanoverTownship; and William L. Woolf, of WestTownship.

They bring the total number of membersin the Hall of Fame to 61. The trio will beinducted during an enshrinement ceremonyat 10:30 a.m. July 29 in the Arts & CraftsBuilding at the Columbiana County Fair.Honorees’ families will also be recognized,and framed portraits and biographicalsketches of each individual will be unveiled.Portraits of previous inductees are perma-nently displayed in the Arts & Crafts Build-ing.

James W. Cooper1941-2007

James William Cooper devoted his entirelife to dairy farming, raising crops, and hisfamily. Born Oct. 19, 1941, in Hanoverton,Cooper —the son of a dairy farmer whomilked 20 head of Holsteins—began buyingdairy heifer calves at 14.

Cooper was active in the Farm Bureauand was a former member of the UnitedYoung Farmers and Dairy Farmers of Amer-ica. In his early FFA years, he served asUnited FFA sentinel from 1955-57, andreceived a Farm Mechanics ImprovementAward in 1958.

A member of the first graduating class ofUnited High School in 1959, Cooper mar-ried Carole Ritz in 1961. Two years later, hebought a 85-acre farm on Schneider Road,next to his father’ s property. They startedmilking 85 to 90 Jersey and Holstein cowsin a stanchion barn.

Over the next 30 years, the Coopers pur-chased 174 more acres, and, in 1989, built adouble four milking parlor with 100freestalls, then added a calf progression barn.Cooper Hollow Farms also produced various

crops, including hay, wheat, corn, and sudex.Cooper also

worked for D.W.Dickey in Lisbon,and drove schoolbus for United LocalSchools to help keepthe farm operating.

In 1993, Cooperreceived the Hon-orary ChapterFarmer Award fromthe United FFA forhelping the FFAwith crop produc-tion, as well as loan-ing the chapterplanting and harvesting equipment.

Perhaps his most lasting contribution tothe community came in 1994, when Coopergranted the Columbiana County Commis-sioners an easement onto his property toerect and maintain the pumping station serv-ing the Winona and Guilford Lake area sep-tic system.

James and Carole Cooper had three sons,James, Robert, and Douglas; and two daugh-ters, Deborah and Pamela, along with 15grandchildren and four great-grandchildrenat the time of Cooper’ s death on May 10,2007.

The elder Cooper’ s influence alsoimpacted his sons’ friends.

“The Cooper house became my secondhome,” said Randall Mattevi, a friend ofJames Cooper Jr. since grade school. “It wasremarkable to me how the family did every-thing together and Jim and Carole becamelike my second parents.”

Mattevi credits Cooper with getting himinvolved in 4-H, helping him with 4-H proj-ects, and encouraging him to be a part ofFFA in school.

“I think of Jim and what an incrediblefarmer and family man he was,” Mattevisaid. “I thank him for taking me into hishome and teaching me his love of farming.”

Russell N. Cook1922-2010

Russell N. Cook devoted his life to serv-ice in his country and the agricultural com-munity. He was a dairy farmer who madehis life in Fairfield Township in ColumbianaCounty.

Cook was born and raised in FairfieldTownship. He grew up raising fruits andvegetables that his parents sold at a stand atthe Pyatt Street Open Air Market inYoungstown.

It wasn’ t long before Cook would beinvolved in grain farming. Cook and hisbrother, Orel, purchased a threshing machineand performed custom threshing in the area.

Cook purchased his farm, Midway-Crest,in the fall of 1946. He went on to work withthe Ohio State University experimentalresearch farm in Wooster and theColumbiana Soil and Water ConservationDistrict for many years. Both helped himdevelop his farm to become productive.

He used the experimental farm to find outabout commercial fertilizer and weed controlsprays instead of cultivating. He was knownfor experimenting with different amountsper acre to see what would give his farm themost return for his investments.

Cook was also one of the first to use con-

tour strips on his farm. The soil and waterconservation districthelped to lay out hisfields in strips anddevelop sod water-ways to prevent ero-sion.

He was also veryopen to getting themessage out aboutagriculture. TheCook family hostedmany farm toursover the years sothat others couldlearn about croprotation, contourfarming and use of sod waterways.

An innovator in agriculture, Cook wasthe one of the first to build a bunker silo builtbelow ground level with a solid structure androof built over the top. He also one of thefirst in the area to have a metal milking par-lor and a milk bulk tank.

His own farm work didn’ t stop him fromhelping his neighbors out with custom work.He owned a Massey Harris self-propelledcombine and a pull type corn picker and wasalways willing to help neighbors to get theircrops harvested.

Cook started purchasing registered Hol-steins around 1950, and breeding them fortop milk production. He went on to sell topanimals and local and state sales and shippedhis cattle across the country and even theworld.

Cook enjoyed showing Holsteins at the

Columbiana County Fair and the CanfieldFair. He started to show at the county fair in1957 and the Can-field Fair in 1967.Today, the Cookfamily continues toshow at both fairs.He prided him-

self on developing aproductive herd ofHolstein cattle. Heroutinely led theDairy HerdImprovement Asso-ciation list for hisrolling averages.Cook’ s herd led theDHIA list with hisherd many times. He even set a record forsetting the highest average production forfive months in a row.He was a member of the Columbiana-

Mahoning County Holstein Club District IIas well as the state and national Holsteinassociations. In addition, Cook was an activemember in the Ohio Farm Bureau and theEast Fairfield UnitedMethodist Church.Cook married his wife, Vera, in January

1943, before he left to serve in the U.S.Army during World War II. Today, his son,Ron, and his wife, Linda, run the dairy farmthat Cook built.

William L. Woolf1930-1996

When West Township dairyman BillWoolf lost his arm in a farming accident inDecember 1959, the Columbiana Countyfarming community pitched in to help finishWoolf’ s new milking parlor and to raisemoney to help defray his medical expenses.Woolf, who continued to farm with the atti-tude, “It could have been worse,” spent therest of his life advocating on behalf of thosefarmers who helped him. His tireless leader-

ship and far-reaching contributions were hisway of repaying countless people.Bill started farming in 1951, and he and

his wife, the former Frances Hawk, settledon a 350-acre dairy farm near EastRochester. After his accident, he found waysto adapt running equipment and milkingwith only one arm, never missing a step. Hecontinued to farm until he died in 1996, andtwo sons and their families continue to farmin Columbiana County today.Along the way, Bill Woolf gave back to

the community as a leader within the Ruritanclub network, and served on the ColumbianaCounty OSU Extension Advisory Counciland the Columbiana County Planning Com-mission.But his passion was working on farmers’

behalf through the Ohio Farm Bureau Feder-ation. He first participated in a local FarmBureau advisory council and served on thecounty Farm Bureau board, then was electedas to the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation stateboard of trustees, representing Columbiana,Mahoning, Portage and Stark counties. Inthat role, he was instrumental in public poli-cy development for the state farm group, andraising issues of local farmers’ concerns tothe state board.In addition to his agricultural leadership,

Bill Woolf emphasized the importance ofgiving back to your community. In a 1981interview in the Ohio Farm Bureau publica-tion, Buckeye Farm News, Woolf said, “Ifyou have an accident, don’ t let it interfere

with your way of life. Continue as you were.

The neighbors and community were good to

us and life has been good to me and my fam-

ily.”

one involved.“The older lights have been reallocated

for older arenas,” Wolf said. “This willincrease the light levels for safety to not onlythe guests but also to our exhibitors.”

“We have these new lights now, and wecan use the other lights for things we’ venever used them for,” Knizat said.

A brand-new state-of-the-art sound sys-tem was also installed by Pro Audio Innova-tions of Canton to provide better sound qual-ity for everyone involved, and serves as avast improvement from the previous publicaddress system.

Wolf said Pro Audio will check thesound systems throughout fair week as wellas for the next two years to provide mainte-nance and improvements on the sound sys-tems.

“It’ s time to take our sound system intothe 21st century,” Wolf said. “They’ ll bethere for the fine tuning this year, and thenfor the next two years to provide improve-ments wherever need be.”

Outside the facility, the fair madeimprovements as well, including widening

walkways throughout the concourse near thegrandstand as well for better maneuverabili-ty for everyone around.

Also important for the grandstand, andthe fair in general, is a separate buildingwhich houses fairground security, the sou-venir shop and first aid, made possible withdonations coming from Salem RegionalMedical Center, which sponsors the build-ing.

“Salem was able to make a donation tohelp us get the security, souvenir and firstaid building positioned at the site of thegrandstand,” Knizat said. “It’ s a real nice

improvement fromwhat we had before.”The old wooden grandstand, which was

over a century old, was beloved for its his-torical value, and many people sat in theclassic grandstand during concerts, derbiesand other events.

As historical as it was, though, the oldgrandstand was showing its age.

The wood softened, the paint worn-off,cracks were found in the wood and retainingwall, and holes tore through the grand-stand’ s roof. It became clear something hadto be done: Either fix the aging structure orreplace it.

The board decided it was time for a newlook to the grandstand, and the woodengrandstand was demolished Dec. 14, 2013.

“Everyone hated to see it go,” Wolf said.“But we had to create a safe and secure envi-ronment for everyone, and now we’ve got anice new venue to do that.”

The grandstand is ready to be unveiled,but the board said the fundraising campaignis still going on to pay for the building.Donations are still being accepted to helppay for the structure, and more informationis available at the fair’ s website atwww.columbianacountyfair.org.

“HAVE A GREATTIME AT THE FAIR”

Goats will be more comfortable in revamped barnBy STEVE RAPPACH

StaffWriter

LISBON —Carol Mellott takes pride in hergoats. As chairman of the Columbiana CountyFair’ s goat committee, she makes sure that allof the goats in the Junior Fair Goat Barn receivea safe, proper environment while 4-H memberspresent their numerous goats.

“Our barn is full and overflowing,” Mellottsaid.

Now, the goats will have a nice comfortableplace to stay for the week as the barn has beenrenovated by members of the fair’ s goat com-mittee, junior fair and 4-H clubs. The fair boardapproved the renovation for this year’ s fair.

“The fair board paid for the materials,” Mel-lott said. “The committee provided the man-power to put it on.”

Group members volunteered in restoration ofthe barn over the summer, and everyoneinvolved feels proud for their efforts.

“The kids look forward (to using the barn),”Mellott said. “As they’ re painting the barn,they’ re looking forward to it.”

The biggest change to the barn was its brand

new 200-foot long roof, replacing the old roofwhich the committee believed was about 50years old. The previous roof had holes thatleaked when it rained. Board member DennisFlugan noted the manpower behind disassem-bling the roof.

“The goat committee was outstanding asthey did the removal,” Flugan said. “There wereabout 19 people who took the roof off and theydid a wonderful job.”

“It was leaking and it didn’ t look very nice,”Mellott said. “This had been an ongoing prob-lem.”

Another ongoing problem was drainage nearthe barn. As water rolled off from the banksabove, it created a muddy mess nearby. Makingmatters worse, the water caused flooding in thebarn itself last year so a new drainage systemwas installed.

“We had a problem with water coming offthe bank each year,” Flugan said. “So we built aditch and placed a 4-inch perforated pipe. Thenwe covered the pipe with limestone. So far it’ sbeen working good.”

New wooden doors for the stalls will also

replace the old metal sheets that were used overthe years, which should prevent the pygmygoats from getting stuck.

“The pygmy goats had a tendency to gettheir horns and their heads stuck in the olddoors,” Mellott said. “There’ s nothing worsethan a goat getting his head stuck.”

The barn also got a fresh coat of paint thanksto donations fromAce Hardware of Columbianaand New Middletown and Hanoverton Hard-ware. The goat committee painted the stallsinside while the junior fair painted the outside ofthe barn. In addition, new signs were donatedfrom the fair board, and new lumber wasbrought over to serve as the barn’ s loft.

A commemorative shirt will be sold duringthe fair to celebrate the completion of the barn.The shirt includes a list of those who havedonated to the cause and is the committee’ sway of thanking those who made the restorationhappen.

“It was our way to get it out there that thesepeople went out of their way for us,” Mellottsaid. “All of the moms and dads have helped usout, and we have a really great group of peo-

LISBON—Two homegrown country actslook to entertain the crowd July 30 as CodyGibson and Jeremy Miller grace the grand-stand stage at the Columbiana County Fair.

“I remember seeing acts here growingup,” Gibson said. “It’ s pretty cool to play onthe stage I grew up watching.”

Gibson will headline the free concert, andwill get to perform the show he dreamedabout as a kid growing up in Hanoverton.

“I thought it would be cool to perform atthe grandstand,” Gibson said. “When I wasyounger, my friends were like ‘Oh, that’ llnever happen,’ but here I am and it’ s prettycool.”

Fans will get the opportunity to experi-ence Gibson’ s style of country-rock, similarto Brantley Gilbert and Jason Aldean. Gib-son said he listened to both country and rockmusic while growing up.

“It started with my dad, we would listento rock like John Cougar Mellencamp, BillyJoel, and Foreigner,” Gibson said. “Then we

would go to my grandpa’ s house and he lis-tened to country like Merle Haggard, WillieNelson and George Jones.”

Along with local bandmates Dave Figley,Thomas Brown, Mike Tullis and Ron Jack-son, Gibson has performed all throughMahoning Valley, and enjoys the crowd andthe atmosphere.

“I just love getting up there and perform-ing a good show,” Gibson said. “The mostamazing part is playing the songs, and thenhearing someone sing the song you wrote.”

Gibson, meanwhile, has some big ven-tures coming up soon. He is about to releasehis debut album, “That’ s My Home”, whichwill be available on iTunes, Amazon, hiswebsite and local stores within the nextmonth, and along with that, he and the bandwill embark on a national tour.

“I’m a little scared,” Gibson said. “Wedon’ t know what it’ s going to be like. Wehave a couple gigs coming up around here,but going across the country will be differ-ent.”

Miller, meanwhile, returns to the fair forthe second straight year, and will look tokeep the party going as he opens the show at7 p.m.

“To my friends and fans, I can’ t wait tosee them,” Miller said. “I can’ t wait to makemore memories.”

Since moving to Nashville six years ago,the Lisbon native’ s career has taken off.Last year, he released his debut album, “Thisis Jeremy Miller”, and opened for some ofthe top names in country music including theCharlie Daniels Band, Blackhawk, Eric

Church, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lam-bert just to name a few.

With success and praise he has experi-enced from fellow musicians and fans alike,though, Miller can’ t wait to return home to

LISBON —Smash It Demolition Derby providesentertainment for derby fans throughout numerouscounty fairs throughout the year, and now it has addedthe Columbiana County Fair to its schedule.The London, Ohio based company will serve as

the new promoters for this year’ s demolition derby asit closes the fair at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 3.“We do about 42 shows a year and some county

fairs in Ohio,” Smash It President Tim Clark said.“This is our first time here though.”Smash It puts together derbies throughout Ohio,

West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana and has attract-ed scores of participants.“With the derby people, it’ s the same ones coming

out,” Clark said. “If you get the fairs close to each oth-er and you’ ll have the same set of rules, you’ ll havemore people.”Along with the growing number of participants

that Smash It accumulates, Clark notes the fan basealso grows.“Everyone there wants to see something get torn

up,” Clark said. “Cars are hitting each other going 20miles per hour in reverse and getting banged up.”Clark happens to know a thing or two about the

sport himself. He competed in many derbies and lovedparticipating before he stepped away from active com-petition and started the promotion 16 years ago.“I was a driver for years, then I stopped driving

and started promoting with my brother,” Clark said.

“If you want to get some frustration out, you just go tothe county fair and let it out.”Smash It caught the attention of the Columbiana

County Fair board, who heard great responses fromother fairs and wanted to give Smash It a try.“We go to the fair convention each year,” board

member Paul Lease said. “One of our neighbor fairswe spoke with had them at their fair and were happywith results, so that convinced us.”Along with the usual competition, the derby will

also include two junior heats. One will involve chil-dren from ages 12-16 to participate along with a par-ent or guardian, and one for children ages 5-8 wherethey will compete in Power Wheels for about 15-20minutes.Clark said the goal is to entertain not just the

diehard derby enthusiast, but the whole family.“We’ re just trying to get the younger generation

interested,” Clark said. “If you got a kid at 6 or 7watching, he’ s probably going to learn to like it. Thenas he gets older, he’ ll want to go out a get a scrap carand come out here.”With the fair drawing closer, both Smash It and the

fair look forward to a strong start to this new partner-ship, and both sides hope to set the bar for future der-bies to come.“I’m very excited about it,” Lease said. “I’m hop-

ing that it takes off and does well for us.”Tickets for the event are $5 and can be purchased

online at www.columbianacountyfair.org or at the fairoffice.

Music to rememberAt left, Cody Gibson of Gavers joined his friend Zach Paxson and his bandfor a song towards the end of the evening during last year’s concert. Atright, Jeremy Miller and his band perform some fan favorites.


though, Miller can’ t wait to return home tobe with his friends he grew up with.

“You have the fans, but then there arealso friends,” Miller said. “Each and everyone of the fans are great to see, but also see-ing friends there is so much more uplifting.It feels like there’ s something more.”

Miller’ s door to a country music careeropened when the door to a professional bullriding career closed. He previously workedat Mountaineer and Penn National racetracks and enjoyed success until an accidentin 2008 in Hershey, Pa. sent him to the hos-pital and made him reconsider his options.

“I was helping a buddy at the barn and ahorse knocked me down and I fractured myskull,” Miller said. “I couldn’ t ride bullsanymore, but I always wanted to try countrymusic.”

Just after he left the hospital, he packedhis bags for Nashville and began his musiccareer. As he has become successful, he hasfound more work in the future, including areturn to the studio next year to work on hissecond album.

Miller said his performances are based onhis influences, including Garth Brooks,George Strait, Waylon Jennings and anotherbull rider-turned-singer, the late ChrisLeDoux.

“Many people say my show is a cross ofChris LeDoux and Garth Brooks,” Miller

said.While Miller looks forward to touring

across the country to promote his material,it’ s the hometown shows that he wants to dothe most.

“I have a soft spot for home,” Miller said.“I told my manager, if there’ s a chance forme to get back home to play, I’ ll take it.”
