TrentTomlinsomSinger/songwriter Trent Tomlinson is one of those rare performers whose music is as straight-ahead and unpretentious as he is. "My songs," he says simply, "are real-life situations with kick-ass guitar." "It's 'open a beer, sit in a lawn chair, let's have a party' country," he says of his music. "At the same time, the songs are saying, 'I have the ability to love you, to understand,' and at the end of the day all that matters is Mama and Daddy and going to heaven. That pretty much sums everything up. "Trent honed his music to perfection in countless demo studios over the years. "I've had five publishing deals," he says. "I've practically lived in the studio, creating and honing a sound of my own. And it turns out that five of the songs on the album record are actually my demos -- Lyric Street loved them so much as is that we just went in and re-sang and tweaked a little, instead of re-recording."

In fact, Trent was involved in every aspect of song selection and production on his album which is unusual for a new artist. That level of involvement is testament to his ability to turn the long hard road to stardom to his advantage. Although, he had written songs for Emerson Drive and Blue County, among others, Trent's career had amounted to a frustrating series of publishing deals until he had a breakthrough about two years ago. He was writing at Cal IV Entertainment, a Music City publishing company, when, "I kind of found myself," Trent says. "I basically admitted the truth about who I am and what I am, my demons and insecurities -- the ones that I run from on a day-to-day basis -- and began putting them into my songs."

He immediately noticed the change in his songwriting. "It was like, 'all right," says Trent, "now I believe this guy." As he was honing his craft, his singing also continued to get better. "It was at this point that my whole world changed -- as a songwriter, as an artist, as everything. The truth will set you free."

The music began connecting for the reason great music always does--people identified with it. "Songs," Trent says, "are one of those places where you can hear someone talking about their problems and you say, 'I'm not alone.'"

Once he concentrated on writing songs that reflected his psyche, and dealt with topics like drinking, camaraderie, broken dreams and relationships, Trent found his fortunes reversing rapidly. He demoed and pitched "Hey Batter Batter," a clever take on barroom rancor, and quickly found Lyric Street Record's Senior Vice President of A&R, Doug Howard and President, Randy Goodman wanting to hear more. Trent showcased the new material for them in October 2004 and two months later he had a record deal.

Country Is My Rock brings Trent's emotional honesty and eye for detail to vignettes detailing both the good and bad of life and love. "She Might Just Have Her Radio On" and "I Was Gonna Leave Tomorrow Anyway" deal with the aftermath of relationships while "The Bottle" looks at the dark side of life and "Drunker Than Me," is an offbeat and hilarious look at being forced to be the responsible one on a night out. The CD's combination of truth, pathos and humor give it both accessibility and real depth, and its hard-charging musical approach makes it all compelling.

Trent began his musical journey in Kennett, Missouri, which is also the home town of Sheryl Crow. His 6'8" father is a former basketball star who set scoring records at the University of Missouri and was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers before knee surgery knocked him out. He was also the basketball coach and biology teacher at Trent's high school, and a tough taskmaster.

"I learned about the meaning of hard work," says Trent, "and what can happen in life when you work as hard as you can." His father groomed him for basketball stardom, and Trent was a starter in his freshman year in high school. "The trouble was," he says, "I could score 32 points and on the way home he'd be on me about why I didn't take the charging foul in the fourth quarter."

Along the way, he realized basketball was not going to be the way he would spend his life. "Realistically," he says, "I'm 6'2". No matter how good my jump shot is, Kobe Bryant's going to slap it out of the gym."

He turned early to music, recalling the days when his parents would sing to him as a child. His mother wanted him to take piano lessons, but the classics weren't for Trent. "I wanted to play like Jerry Lee Lewis," he says, "so I quit the lessons and taught myself. Then I realized I couldn't carry a piano around to parties and gigs, so I bought a guitar and started playing that."

He found himself drawn to the other musicians in school -- "people I wouldn't have hung out with otherwise" -- and it wasn't long before he was sneaking out to work in the bars in his home town, playing rock before settling into country. Then, in his junior year in high school, he auditioned locally for TNN's talent show "You Can Be A Star," and week after week he won and moved up in the competition, eventually reaching Nashville and the finals.

"I was first runner-up by two-tenths of a point," he says with a rueful laugh. "The girl who won took home fifty thousand dollars, and I got a denim jacket with the TNN logo on the back." It was a hardcore lesson in the winner-take-all world of high-stakes music, but it was also an affirmation that he had real talent, although his father was slow to get on board.

"It let me know I had something going on," he says, "but my dad was going to need more convincing, especially since I had to miss some ball games. It would have been easier if I'd come back home with the fifty thousand."

He tried college, but says, "I didn't want to wake up eventually kicking myself in the rear end for not knowing what would have happened if I'd tried music." He left for Nashville after six months.

Trent took a job with Stanley Steemer and began hanging out at a club called Barbara's in Nashville's renowned Printer's Alley, making money there and at other clubs by winning talent contests. He landed a cut on a Johnny Rodriguez record and began looking for more opportunities.

"I remember one time when I literally had a dollar to my name," he says. "I bought a soda for 50 cents and used a quarter to call Frank Masick, a tape copy guy at Kimber Kay Music, who had given me his card. He told me to bring some stuff over. I had two demos I had given up the publishing on because I couldn't afford the studio time, and I went over with Kevin Durham, a buddy and co-writer of mine. We were waiting in the lobby and the President of the company was there and he invited us back into his office. I played him the two demos, which were ballads, and he said, "I love them. Have you got anything up-tempo?" I said, "Yeah, but not on tape." He pointed to the guitar in the corner and told me to sing a couple of them, so we did. When we got done, he gave us publishing and production deals and handed us a check."

The short-lived duo of Trent and Dean lasted until the publishing company went bankrupt, immediately after a successful Polydor Records showcase. "I lost a publishing deal and a record deal in three days," he says.

Trent went back to Missouri to clear his head, and while he was there he got word that publishing legend Buddy Killen had bought his catalog out of bankruptcy court. Trent met with Killen, who offered him another publishing deal. After a year-and-a-half, he got a deal with MCA Publishing for the best salary he seen since moving to Nashville but before long a corporate takeover left his backers on the street. After scoring several publishing deals, Trent was parking cars at the airport.

Then came the deal at Cal IV Entertainment which Trent calls "the turning point." He began writing "more progressive country," and landed three cuts on the first Emerson Drive record. He also cut some sides for Lyric Street Records, but A&R chief Doug Howard "knew that I was getting close but that I wasn't quite there. It was a blessing in disguise that nothing happened at the time." His epiphany came at that point, and everything he had learned and been through came together musically in a way that Lyric Street bought into whole-heartedly.

"Luckily," he says, "my vision was their vision." Even his father is among the converts. "At one time," he laughs, "he thought it was all a pipe dream. Now he's calling with song ideas."

Trent is, after all this time, in the enviable position of having life and music come together successfully. He has written a song for the new Sara Evans album, and his debut album, Country Is My Rock, is ratifying the path he's taken.

"For me, the hardest part was letting it all out," he says, "but that's become my way for dealing with my darker side. Writing songs and singing help me to understand it and move on. Hopefully, the reception Country Is My Rock is getting means that other people are getting something out of it too.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION ACTIVITIES

OUTSTANDING AWARD - This award is planned to recognize outstanding achievement among our young people. Awards will be made on the basis of records and other items which can be scored. A person may not receive an Outstanding Award more than once. In order to be eligible for an award, members must exhibit and be present at the County Fair unless prevented by sickness, death of animal or similar reason. SELECTION - Each group, 4-H, FFA, FHA, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts may select member(s) to receive the Outstanding Award. The method of selection within the group will be determined by that group.

4-H Club WorkThis voluntary educational program in Meigs County is open to all boys and girls age five to 18 years of age as of January 1. The program is under the direct

supervision of The Ohio State University College of Agriculture and The United States Department of Agricultural Extension Services. Teaching in agriculture and home economics and related areas are featured. Improved practices in agriculture, engineering and homemaking are the basis of the work. Projects exhibited at Fairs are the results of work resulting from methods used.

A 4-H club is formed when the boys and girls in a community organize themselves into a group with their own officers and own local program with the guidance of an adult man or woman advisor (who serves voluntarily). Each member has an individual project related to topic of interest to them. 4-H is not only for rural youth, but for urban boys and girls, too.

Members serve as officers and on committees in their own clubs, take projects, and do many other worthwhile activities. They learn to cooperate by cooperating. County Extension Agents serve as organizers and supervisors of the 4-H program with the assistance of the county 4-H Committee.

The 4-H emblem is a four-leaf clover with the letter "H" on each leaflet. These stand forHead, Heart, Hands and Health. The four-leaf clover signifies "Good Luck" and "Achievement."

The 4-H Pledge is: I Pledge My head to clearer thinking,My heart to greater loyalty,My hands to larger service, and My health to better living, For my club, my community,My country, and my world.

The 4-H Motto is: "To Make the Best Better." The 4-H colors are green and white.

4-H members learn to do by doing. By helping them to do important work, by bringing them together for exchange of views, by recognizing a job well done and by intelligent leadership, 4-H club work builds citizens for a better America.

Presently, there are approximately 411 boys and girls enrolled in 42 4-H clubs in Meigs County. There are also 105 Cloverbud members (ages 5 – 8). These young people represent a very important segment of the club members in Ohio. Each 4-H club member performs some useful work. Although it may be small at the start, the efforts of many members when added together gain significance. Whenever there is a small group of boys and girls, there is need for a 4-H club.

GENERAL RULES

1. EXHIBITS - must be carried as Vocational Agriculture, Vocational Home Economics or 4-H projects or supervised practice or under supervision of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts or Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. When question of doubt shall arise, the decision of the Executive Committee will be considered final. Each exhibitor must clear his or her space before check will be issued.

The purpose of the Junior Fair is to encourage the boy or girl to learn how to do specific things. THE EXHIBIT IS EXPECTED TO BE THE WORK OF THE GIRL OR BOY, NOT THE PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, OR FRIENDS. A lower quality of work actually done by the individual is much better than the higher quality work done by an adult.

2. SCORING - The method of scoring will be using A, B, C. An “A” exhibit will consist of exhibits of superior merit. “B” exhibits will be those midway between “A”

and “C” exhibits. “C” exhibits will be of average merit. Those that do not meet desirable standards will be graded “D”, and will not receive a ribbon or award. The final grade to determine ribbons will be based on a judge's grade, and judging at the fair. All project books must be brought to the judging or interview. Basic awards will be made to each exhibitor on basis of grades as follows:No award will be made on D grades.

INSERT A PICTURE OF FFA

FFA

This educational program in Meigs County is open to all boys and girls who are Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors or Seniors. At present, students can become members at Meigs High School or Southern High School. However, they must be enrolled in an agricultural class to be a member of the FFA.

The FFA encourages the use of an SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experiment) program to help provide hands on experience in agriculture. Projects exhibited at Fairs are the results of some of these learning activities. Each member has an individual project related to a topic of interest to them.

FFA is not only for rural youth, but for urban boys and girls, too. Members take part in career development events to further their experience and interests in agriculture. They also serve as officers and on committees. They develop group projects such as fruit sales, petting zoo and community projects where cooperation is taught.

While the FFA used to stand for Future Farmers of America, this name was dropped in 1993 due to the changes within the organization. The realization that Agri-Business, soils, environment, food services, bio genetics and much more is as important to Agriculture as well as farmers prompted the dropping of this name. Yet the symbol of FFA is difficult to change due to the outstanding history of our organization. Today FFA simply stands for a youth organization that is interested in any or all facets of agriculture.

The FFA motto is: Learning to do Doing to Earn Earning to Live Living to Serve.

FFA members learn by doing. If students will follow the FFA motto today, they will becomegood citizens of tomorrow.

Presently there are over 120 boys and girls in the two FFA programs in Meigs County.FFA Farm Crops - Horticulture Rules: 1. Only 1 entry per person, per class. 2. All exhibits shall be correctly named and labeled. 3. All produce must be grown by the exhibitor. 4. In classes where there are 5 or more entries, the judge may award a grand or reserve

champion.5. Produce must be of proper maturity and good quality.6. All general rules apply.

Superintendent: Bob CalawayBrian Windon, Brent Zirkle, Ron Hensley

Weigh-In Time - 5:30 p.m. Entry Fee: $10.00 per team. See General Rules for further instructions where applicable.

The value of draft animals depends upon their ability to pull and capacity to endure sustained efforts. The object of this test is to determine the sustained maximum pulling capacity of each pair. These tests will also afford valuable scientific data on the relation between form and function in draft animals and should stimulate general interest in the breeding and use of good draft horses and mules. In particular it is desired:

(a) To determine the value of type and proper breeding in the selection of horses and mules intended for long and arduous draft work.(b) To ascertain and demonstrate the proper method of training and conditioning horses and mules for long and severe draft work.

(c) To encourage horsemanship in fitting horses and in driving. (d) To demonstrate the maximum pulling capacity of the horses and mules.The committee shall have full jurisdiction over, as well as power to decide, all questions arising in connection with the contest subject to the rules and administration as provided. They shall determine the winners and awarded prizes in accordance with the rules. Failure to comply promptly with the directions of the committee shall result in immediate disqualification of a contestant. The decision of the majority of the committee concerning any matter arising in connection with the contest shall be final. Horses or driver may be disqualified at anytime by the committee either for the violation of one or more of the conditions of the contest or because the contesting team's condition is such as to render it cruel or inadvisable to permit the team to proceed further.

ELIGIBILITY: OPEN TO THE WORLD. Horses and mules, regardless of where owned, are eligible to enter this contest.CONDITIONS- A stone boat loaded with cement blocks will be used. Owners must furnish their own feed.

2008 OFMA DRAFT HORSE PULLING RULESDraft horses: The distance for each pull shall be 27 feet, but a distance of less than 27 feet will be used to determine the winner or placement at the end of contest. The

second best distance will break ties.The distance between the side boundaries for draft horses shall be at least 15 feet. Teams must stay within the side boundaries while pulling. If a horse touches the rope

regardless, it nullifies the pull unless the back judge whistle blows for full distance of stoppage of sled prior to rope being touched.All teams must take a first pull. Each team shall take first and second while hitched to the sled. Drivers may pass their second pull. A third pull may be taken after all

teams have had their first and second pull. You must take a first pull, with second pull optional to be eligible for third pull. Drivers shall have six tries to get hitched (first and second pull attempts). If he misses all six, the team shall be placed in the contest at this time, with distance of the best pull prior to this attempt. If team is deemed unmanageable by the judges, then team shall be disqualified, placed last, and no moneys or other awards shall be given. You will have three minutes to get hooked to the sled and make your first pull. The time starts when the announcer calls your name. You shall have two minutes between your first and second pulls. On a third pull you shall have three minutes, from the time the announcer calls your name, to get hitched. Failure to do so will place you in the contest with the best distance of your previous pull. If the team is deemed unmanageable by the judges, then the team shall be disqualified, placed last, and no moneys or awards shall be given.

The first and second pull shall be in the direction indicated by the judges. A third pull may be taken in either direction providing enough room remains on the track. If a team is hooked to the sled and keeps bumping it, they may have to go the same direction even if they pass the turn around point. Any forward movement of the load after the driver gives the command to go shall be counted as a pull. Judges may require the teamster to straighten the sled. Judges shall determine if a break allows a new pull. If the horse(s) or ponies get tangled and need to be headed, they must unhook and leave the sled and then hook back on for the same pull. Teamsters must have the judge’s approval to unhook. A whistle or signal shall be given when the team has made the distance or committed an error nullifying distance. The driver must stop the team immediately after the signal.

Draft horses: No heading is allowed anytime a horse is inside a rope. No touching, petting, or speaking to horses by helpers at anytime. No touching or petting of horses by driver. Any violation of the above will result in loss of that pull.
