Looking Back

A Salt Fork Soldier’s Story: The Civil War Letters of George Linn Moore “I would like you would send me another box of provisions... If you send me one, send me some roasted chickens and some green apple pies. I don’t care about many sweet cakes nor any dried fruit...”

— Private George Linn Moore in a letter to his parents, August 24, 1864

I

n the early 1800s, a young man named George Linn built a grist mill on Salt Fork Creek near the spot where the main Salt Fork State Park office stands today.

By the time the Civil War started, he was 73 and had spawned a small clan of descendants, many of whom lived nearby and were of military service age. Thus, in Story by RICK BOOTH the late summer of 1863, shortly after Morgan’s Raiders had passed within a scant mile or two of the old mill, George’s eponymously named 19-yearold grandson, George Linn Moore, enlisted in Company F of the 9th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. The young soldier went to war and wrote home regularly. A century and a half later, 18 of his letters survive and were recently generously donated by a relative to the Guernsey County History Museum. As a volunteer there, I was lucky enough to receive, scan, and transcribe them. Herewith is the story they tell of the Civil War soldier from Salt Fork.

It was still warm weather when Hiram and Caroline Linn Moore bade farewell to their eldest son, George, in August or early September of 1863. On the 18th of September, his company was mustered into service at military Camp Dennison near Cincinnati. Two weeks later, George wrote his first surviving letter.

George Linn’s mill at Salt Fork

OCTOBER 3, 1863: “The boy that came with [First Lieutenant Thomas] Brown presented him with a sword, and I gave for that. And then they made up to get our other lieutenant a sword, and I gave for that. And so I have not enough left to pay for expressing it home.”

Hit up for contributions to buy honorary dress swords for company officers, poor George didn’t have enough pay left to send any home. On the lighter side, though, “There was two men came through camp in a buggy and hurrahed for Val[landgiham]. The boys pitched in and

caught the buggy and held it fast, and wanted them to get out, but they would not, and they let them go. And then you ought to have seen the stones a-flying after them.” Vallandigham was a well-known anti-war Ohio politician, despised by most Union troops. Cheering him in a military camp was just asking for trouble! The men of Company F still didn’t have horses, but George and the others were in good spirits.

various family crypts. In the only one he was able to enter, “... there was a man and wife and their two babes in it. They did not look natural at all.” One hopes he made that observation simply because they rested in old-fashioned glass-faced caskets!

MARCH 18, 1864: Writing to his aunt, Harriet Zahniser, he explains that he’s been hospitalized in Nashville since March 1st with the measles. “I received very good attention here, had good beds to lay on.” His regiment had moved on without him.

MARCH 29, 1864: Still in the hospital, he writes to his parents, “I don’t like the looks of what little of the South I have seen. It is a lonesome kind of a place.” His regiment, he says, has gone to Alabama. Having sent money home previously, he asks if a little can be sent back to him as he’s short on cash.

APRIL 10, 1864: “It surprised me very much when I heard Thomas had gone to the army. I want to know the particulars about it, who he listed under and for how long a time he has enlisted for.” Thomas was George’s younger brother, age 17 or 18 at the time... and now

NOVEMBER 18, 1863: “I expect we will winter here this winter, but I can’t tell much about it, for a private don’t get to know anything in the army until he gets to see for himself.” George had apparently quickly learned what privates in most wars seem to complain of — that they’re always the last to know what’s going on. He also wrote, “The boys went to Milford last night and cleaned out every whiskey shop in town as clear as a whistle.”

This, too, could have been written in almost any day and age of any war. The men still didn’t have their horses, but they expected them soon. George also asked his mother for a box of food from home, suggesting the neighbors could help her make a nice one up for Christmas.

JANUARY 20, 1864: The horses seem to have arrived, but George’s chief concern in writing to his younger brother was that he take good care of the revolver George had recently sent home. “I don’t want you fellows to use it any, for it is a good one and I don’t want it spoiled. I want it laid away where it will not rust.” The weather was dreadfully cold, and he hoped his company would move out soon.

FEBRUARY 28, 1864: By this time, his unit had first gone to Louisville and then spent eleven days on the march to get to Nashville. For recreation, George went to the Mount Olivet Cemetery there and browsed the

serving in parts unknown! Still at the hospital, George writes wistfully, “I would like to be at home a while to take a buggy ride after the ox and eat a few good dinners...

I would like most terrible well to be into some of your maple sugar for a few minutes.” Butter, he comments, sells for an outrageous 50 cents a pound in Nashville, and eggs are 35 to 40 cents a dozen!

APRIL 27, 1864: Still having gotten no word where his brother Thomas is serving, George writes, “If I can find out his regiment and what for officers they have, I am going to try and get transferred into his company so as we would be together. I don’t know whether they would transfer me or not, but I will try...” The letters give the clear impression George feels the need to look after his younger brother.

JUNE 18, 1864: George’s Aunt Harriet by this time had sent him brother Thomas’s address. He was in yet another military hospital! “I suppose you have heard of my second spell of sickness. I had a spell of the fever.

It came very near taking me off. I was out of my head all the time,” George wrote to his parents. Also, “I want you to see that my pistol don’t rust and that my fiddle don’t get scratched up [by] Ira.” Ira was George’s even younger 16-year-old brother.

Union Troops at Nashville

JULY 4, 1864: George describes the military parades with brass bands on that day in Nashville. Feeling both patriotic and recovered from illness, he also states, “I am bound not to stay here very much longer. I will run away if no other way, and pay my own way to the company.”

George wanted back in the war. Writing to brother Ira, he also warned him not to scratch his fiddle or mess with

Now & Then • 6

his revolver and accidentally shoot himself. It reads like teasing banter to an impish and impulsive little brother.

JULY 29, 1864: Apparently George was still not well.

He wrote to his brother Ira from the large military hospital in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. He’d received some bad news. “I am very sorry A. F. Linn was killed. I suppose his folks takes it very hard. Andy was always a good-hearted fellow...” Andrew F. Linn, a cousin of George’s mother, had been killed at the Battle of Monocacy in Maryland on July 9th. He had been a young second lieutenant with the 122nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was just one year older than George himself.

AUGUST 2, 1864: Still at the Indiana hospital, George writes to his aunt that he attended a circus the day before. He also laments, “But for all I would like very well to be with the boys. It was 5 months yesterday since I left them.” In other words, he wished to be with his regiment, which was by then quite far away.

AUGUST 24, 1864: Feeling relatively well at last, George was sent back to Camp Dennison in Ohio, a man without a regiment. He complains about the lousy food they’re getting and petitions for a home-packed box of good things to eat.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1864: “Well, you wanted me to try and come home. Well, I may get to come home in a month or two if I stay here that long.” There was hope of a furlough so he could briefly go home, but only a slim hope. George reiterated his call for a box of food.

SEPTEMBER 20, 1864: George writes to his parents that he’s heard his regiment is returning to the nearby Cincinnati and Louisville areas, riding on worn out horses. That gives hope he can rejoin them! Also, he finally got a letter from brother Thomas. “He said he was well. They was on the Weldon R[ail] R[oad in Virginia] when he wrote.”

OCTOBER 11, 1864: At long last, George was able to rejoin a portion of his regiment at a camp three miles east of Nashville. “Tom Nichols is someplace around here, and all the Winchester boys that came with him,” George wrote. “Winchester” was the old name for Winterset in Guernsey County, so George was anxious to reconnect with old acquaintances.

NOVEMBER 11, 1864: Corresponding to brother Ira from Chattanooga, George explains that he’s once again in the hospital, this time with diarrhea. Getting down to business, he wrote, “You wanted to know if you might buy a mule with my money. You may buy it if Pap thinks

Looking Back you ain’t paying too much for it... don’t let it kick your head off, and when it is old enough, break it to ride and to work in the buggy.”

DECEMBER 19, 1864: Ominous signs: “Well, I am run down until I am nothing but a mere shadow with the chronic Diarrhea. They kept me a-laying around in the sun and bad weather until I got so bad that I couldn’t stood it much longer.” George Linn Moore wrote of his worsening condition, amidst other more mundane news, from the Jeffersonville, Indiana, military hospital where he had once again been transferred. Ten days later, at age 20, he died.

County seems a very small place where so many of us living here today may still find historical interconnections.

As a final note, this article came about because of ongoing scanning and digitization work at the Guernsey County History Museum at 218 North Eighth Street in Cambridge, where the Civil War letters were recently donated and processed. They can all be viewed online now, both in original form and as transcriptions, by going to the museum’s website, www.guernseycountyhistory.com, and following links to the scanned collections.

If you yourself happen to have unique old letters, documents, or photos of local historical importance that you might wish to share with the Guernsey County community at large, the local History Museum has interest. It now offers free high resolution scanning of contributed items. Donors need not give away original copies, yet the images obtained by scanning can be shared online. If interested, please call the museum at (740) 439-5884 or stop in during regular hours of operation, 12 to 3 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. As with the case of George Linn Moore, you never know what old historical connections might be found!

New Albany National Cemetery, Indiana

Private Moore served in the war zone, but never saw battle.

He died of disease, not of wounds. His end came with less glory, of course, than if he had fallen beside his battle flag in the din of muskets and cannon. But then again, more men died of disease, like Private Moore, during the Civil War than of wounds incurred by fighting. George Linn Moore did his best to serve. His health and his luck just ran out. His body rests today in sleepy New Albany National Cemetery in Indiana.

It is a rare privilege and humbling pleasure to scan, transcribe, read, and come to understand the letters and life of a long forgotten Guernsey County Civil War soldier — a young man who never came home. Yet for me it held an even more special meaning. Like Private Moore, my own middle name is Linn. In fact, the ancestral George Linn who built the mill two hundred years ago was my great-great-great-grandfather.

Benton Linn, my great-grandfather, was George Linn Moore’s cousin. And Andrew F. Linn, who died in “the battle that saved Washington” at Monocacy, is also there in the family tree. It’s a small world, and when traced back two centuries, Guernsey

Car Tips

How To: Touch up Your Vehicle’s Exterior Here are some helpful and easy tips to keep those chips, nicks and scratches from going unattended.

V

ehicle touchups were once a realm reserved specifically for mechanics or the most ardent auto enthusiasts. But nowadays even weekend warriors can address the minor dings, chips and scratches on their vehicles, saving them both time and money.

• • Crack the color code. One of the fears novices commonly have when touching up their vehicles is that they won’t find the exact match with regard to their vehicle’s exterior color. The key to the perfect color match is contained in the vehicle’s color code, which can be found somewhere on the vehicle, most often on the inside of the driver’s side door. Consult your owner’s manual or call the vehicle manufacturer if you cannot find the color code on your vehicle. Once you find the code, you can then order your color. Employing the most extensive library of OEM colors in the industry, AutomotiveTouchupTM makes it as simple as ever for drivers to create and order the exact colors to

touch up their vehicles’ exteriors. Paints are created per order during a simple, three-step online ordering process using a vehicle’s specific color code, make, model and year, and orders are shipped directly to consumers, saving them from making a trip to the often intimidating automotive supply store. The result is drivers rest easy with the knowledge that they aren’t ordering and subsequently applying the incorrect color to their car or truck.

Use the right application tool. Dings, chips and cracks come in many shapes and sizes, and the appropriate touchup tool will depend on the type and size of the blemish. Small chips and nicks and thin scratches are best addressed with pens, while you might need a small bottle of clearcoat to address slightly larger areas. Use an aerosol spray can to address areas that have experienced extensive damage. When applying the paint, use several light coats rather than one heavy coat. Drivers concerned about their application abilities can visit the AutomotiveTouchup website to access a library of educational videos that illustrate how to use the various application tools. Visitors to the website also can speak directly with a team of advisors who can walk them through their projects

• Paint in the right conditions. Before applying any paint, thoroughly clean the affected areas. A simple formula of dish soap and water should do the trick, but be sure to allow the area to dry completely before continuing. When using aerosol cans, the ideal temperature to spray is between 70° and 80°F and humidity should be 50 percent or less. Never spray primer, paint or clearcoat in direct sunlight.

Travel

Tips for Finding a Great Summer Rental

T

he growth of lodging websites such as Airbnb and VRBO has given travelers more temporary housing options than ever before. Such sites may appeal to those vacationers who want a taste of home away from home without having to pay potentially exorbitant hotel prices.

The cost savings of vacation rentals can be considerable, providing more bang for budget-conscious travelers’ bucks. But vacationers who have never strayed from the hotel/resort path may be hesitant to dip their toes into the vacation rental waters. While travelers accustomed to staying in luxury hotels may need to adjust their expectations when booking vacation rentals, the following are some ways to find a great vacation rental that suits you and your fellow vacationers.

• Make a list of your lodging priorities. Popular lodging and vacation rental websites offer an array of options, so make a list of your lodging priorities so you can find the right fit without having to peruse hundreds of listings.

If you want to save money by cooking your own meals, then a home with a full kitchen may be your biggest priority. If beach access tops your list, then you can save time by searching for oceanfront homes or condos. If saving money is your biggest priority, then expand your search to properties further away from coastal areas or homes, but are within walking distance of local nightlife.

What you sacrifice with regard to view and convenience you’ll recoup in cost savings.

• Don’t pull the trigger too quickly. Low prices may tempt prospective travelers, especially those accustomed to staying in expensive hotels, to book lodging before

they full vet a property. Fight the temptation to book a rental before you have done your homework. Learn as much about the rental as you can before booking your stay. Read reviews of the property and carefully examine the property listing so you know exactly what you are getting. Carefully examine any photos included in the listing, and try to confirm that the property is not in foreclosure, which may pose problems when you’re ready to embark on your trip. Find out as much as you can about the property owner as well. Some are renterfriendly while others may have poor reputations.

• Determine who handles any potential problems that arise during your stay. Unlike a hotel stay when you can simply call the front desk and request a maintenance staffer be sent up to address any problems that arise in your room, you may be on your own in a vacation rental should the refrigerator go on the fritz or the air conditioning unit suddenly stop working. Determine how problems are handled before booking a rental. Rental homes that are part of a homeowners’ association may have on-site maintenance ready to respond to any issues, while homes offered by private homeowners may come with no such benefits.

• Book early if you’re attending a specific event.

Hotels book up quickly on busy weekends, and so do vacation rentals. Vacation rental prices fluctuate just like the cost of hotel rooms, so begin your search early if you are traveling to attend a festival or another event that figures to attract large crowds.

Vacation rentals can save travelers money, but finding the right fit requires effort on the part of vacationers.

Coshocton Canal Quilters

Have a Stitchin’ Good Time Story & Photos by BEVERLY KERR

Now & Then • 12

THE HUMAN CONNECTION MIGHT BE AS COMFORTING AS THE QUILTS THEY PRODUCE.

I

magine your favorite getaway. It might be the ocean, the mountains or a cruise to a faraway place. That’s not the case with the ladies from the Coshocton Canal Quilters. A weekend retreat with all their sewing gear and good friends fits the bill for them. Their work will be displayed at their 29th Annual Quilt Show, “Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows”, on August 12-14.

This year the Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek served as headquarters for a weekend retreat for fifty-eight ladies of all ages. This being my first visit to a retreat, walking into the conference room where it was held filled me with wonder and excitement.

They all brought their sewing machines, tables, chairs, lamps, materials, all their sewing tools...and

of course, snacks. How could all that have fit in their cars?

Their project this year was to make a Crow Quilt for the Crow Festival, since Coshocton is often referred to as Crow Town. Each person is asked to finish one crow square for the quilt. While every crow turned out to be quite unique, they had to have three basic characteristics: a black crow, orange beak, and orange feet. Most of them had a sparkle of bling added someplace in the design.

The quilt will then be raffled off at The Pomerene Center for the Arts with proceeds to be used for the group’s projects. This is a busy group as their guild has over a hundred members. When not making quilts for themselves or their family, they make quilts for veterans, chemo patients, battered women’s shelters, the James Cancer Hospital, and more.

This large family of quilters comes together for retreats because they want to have fun. One person said, “We let our hair down. It’s a big slumber party.”

They encourage each other, no matter how many times the threads of motherly patience, health and sanity keep breaking through their lives. The human connection might be as comforting as the quilts they produce.

Gambling might even be part of their day! Left, Center, Right, a popular dice game, is played here with bundles of fabric, called “fat quarters,” being used instead of cash. The winner takes all!

Beautiful patterns surround you here and each quilt will become a treasure for someone. A pattern that is one of my favorites has a proper name of “Kaleidoscope Dresden Plate Pattern,” but it is more commonly called “Multiple Madness.” Once you make one quilt using this pattern, you have to keep making them.

A popular item at the show was tee-shirt quilts. They could be of any size from throw to queen size and contain someone’s old tee shirts. Someone had recently

lost their husband and a friend was making her a quilt of his old tee shirts to cuddle up to on a cold night.

Some of the ladies took a lunch break. Where do you think they went? To buy fabric! They came back remembering a special fabric they had seen in a particular aisle at a favorite store.

The highlight of the visit occurred with the story of a lady whose sewing machine stopped working the first night she was there. As a surprise, the next morning her husband brought her a brand new sewing machine.

What a guy! He’s sew special.

Upon my return home, my tee shirts were checked out carefully. Which ones might make a good quilt for a gypsy?

Visit the Coshocton Canal Quilters on August 1214 for “Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows,” which will be held at The Presbyterian Church on the corner of 4th Street and Chestnut Avenue in Coshocton, Ohio.

You’re sure to enjoy their artistic creations!

Mold can grow in any dark and damp spot, which makes air conditioning units prime locations for mold proliferation. Mold spores can be circulated through a home via a central air conditioning system or window air conditioning unit. Mold spores in the air are very easy to inhale, especially for young children and elderly people.

Air conditioners also are susceptible to mold growth.

Preventing mold from becoming a problem means being in tune to indicators that mold may be present, and then taking the necessary actions to eradicate that mold and preventing future growth.

Visible mold or a musty smell when operating the air conditioner are prime indicators of a problem. If you suspect mold has infiltrated your air conditioning system mold, consider these tips.

• Keep equipment clean. Routinely clean dirt and debris out of air conditioning ducts and equipment. Pay special attention to organic matter, such as dirt, that may come in from outdoors.

• Eliminate water sources. Standing water presents an ideal breeding ground for mold. If there is excess water

present in or around the system, have your AC unit serviced.

• Change the filter. Many manufacturers recommend change an HVAC filters and window unit filters once every three months at a minimum. This can prevent mold growth and reduce allergens like dust and dirt that circulate through the air.

• Clean up the mold. Homeowners may be able to clean up a minor mold problem, but larger issues are best left to a professional. Exposure to mold can put a person and the entire household at risk, especially if mold spores are disrupted. Air conditioning repair companies and moldremoval specialists are better equipped to clean and contain mold.

If you clean a window unit, make sure that all components are completely dry before reassembling the parts. Damp conditions can lead to more mold.

Air conditioning can be a life-saver during the summer.

But men and women must make sure mold doesn’t become a problem while their AC systems are in use.

ith all of the oil and gas exploration going on across eastern Ohio, many people are discovering they have wealth under their feet they never expected. While this is a wonderful thing, these assets need to be protected and secured for you, your family, and your loved ones, just like all of your other assets. So whether or not you find yourself with oil and gas interests, I am sure you have assets you wish to protect. But how do you do that?

The answer is that you can do so by using one of the many different asset protection options available.

These options can help you maintain control over your mineral rights and your other assets while preventing them from being considered a personal asset to be tapped if you end up in a civil lawsuit.

You have worked hard as a steward of your land and other assets. You deserve to reap the benefit of your assets. It is important to make sure you are able to keep as much of that wealth as is possible for yourself and your loved ones.

The first thing you need to know is the definition of asset protection. Asset protection is planning designed to shield your assets from the claims of creditors. You may be thinking “but I don’t have any creditors.” Believe it or not, that is the best time to do asset protection planning: when you have no creditors breathing down your neck! Also, creditors take many forms and arise in many different ways and situations.

The creditor most people think of is the one who arises from an involvement in an auto accident where you are at fault. You may say you have insurance. The problem

after your death becomes the outlaw. This can be done through the use of what is called a lifetime protective trust for your loved ones. This is something you should definitely talk to your estate planning attorney about!

If any of the above has hit a cord of interest with you, you should be talking with an attorney who concentrates in the area of estate planning about asset protection and all your estate planning needs. If you have any other questions, please go to our website at www.fmcclurelaw. com.

will do is make the creditors’ access to your assets more difficult to accomplish!

The goal of asset protection is not to make you “bulletproof” from creditor attack, but rather to make it much more difficult and expensive for a potential creditor to gain control of your assets. In other words, if a creditor (an example being a person who was involved in an auto accident with you) obtains a judgment against you, and attempts to take control of your assets to pay off his claim against you, effective asset protection is designed to put you and the creditor on a more equal footing and to either stop the creditor in his tracks or to at a minimum allow for negotiations to settle the amount owed at a lower level. If the creditor and his attorney know that it may take months or even years to collect their claim and that the costs to the creditor will be substantial, the creditor may settle for a lower amount or the amount of the insurance alone, in satisfaction of the claim.

The best way to think about this situation is to try and think of your assets as treasure you wish to protect. What might you do with your treasure? You might put it into a chest for safe keeping. Then you might put a lock on the chest. Then you might put the chest into a vault. Then you might build a castle around your vault. Then you might put a moat around the castle. Hopefully this will give you a great picture in your mind as to what asset protection planning is. All we are doing is adding addition barriers and protections to protect your treasure (your assets). Each level is another obstacle which the creditor must find a way to get through to get to your treasure.

By using proven, simple techniques and strategies you can create different levels of protection for your assets.

It may still be possible for a very determined creditor with very “deep pockets” to get though all the obstacles you have placed in their path, but the odds of success for the creditor get longer with each new obstacle in front of them.

Hopefully this has given you some insight into asset protection that you did not realize before. One of the first questions that seem to be asked after this discussion is why you would be concerned with this. One of the tenants of estate planning is distributing your assets to your loved ones. This may be money, real estate, and personal property that is important to you. Also, what if I told you that you could give these treasures to loved ones and have the assets protected from your loved ones, creditors and predators, including the in-law that

Dishes Story by MARY HELEN STRAKER

O

n a March day in 1860 Jane Miley Rich stood outside Houseman’s store in Senecaville, Ohio gazing at a display of crockery, utensils, yard goods and clothing.

Senecaville, named for nearby Seneca Creek, was platted in 1815. A post office of that name has been in operation since 1823. The town lies two miles west of Senecaville (usually called “Seneca”) Lake, a man made reservoir created in 1937 for flood control and water conservation. A popular fishing/recreation destination, it is the third largest lake in Ohio, after Lake Erie and Grand Lake St. Marys. As of the 2010 census the population was 457 – in 1860, about 465.

Senecaville has three churches and a school, Secrest Elementary. Older children go to schools in nearby Byesville.

That March day, Jane had her eyes on a set of dishes, decorated in blue, her favorite color. She showed them to Jacob, her husband, and said she intended to raise

the eight dollars asking price, building up an account by selling her eggs and her home-churned butter to the store.

“At that rate gonna be a spell” Jacob said.

“Reckon so…months or even a year. However long it takes I mean to have us those dishes.”

Knowing his wife, Jacob was sure she spoke the truth.

With the three older children’s help Jane fed the flock, cleaned the hen house, fetched fresh straw for nests, gathered the yield, wiped each egg, presented the week’s collection, bedded in straw like jewels in velvet, to Mr. Houseman.

She churned butter twice a week, skimming the cream from pails of milk, sometimes toting the heavy pails up from the barn herself. Meanwhile, she worked at her usual chores: planted corn and other vegetables, tended the kitchen garden, made soap, candles, bread, did the washing and ironing, helped with butchering, tended to baby Abraham and when she, at last, sat down of an evening, took up her knitting.

Responding to Jacob’s concern she was overworking, she said, “Thank the good Lord I’m able and for what I have to look forward to – those pretty dishes.”

Jane coped with hen house marauders: a fox, a snake, which took her away from her churning long enough, once, baby Abraham found the butter and played in it, ruining the batch.

where she stepped. She felt her way across the kitchen in the dark to the table, baby Abraham, up from his nap, clutching her skirts.

She set the dishes down on the leaf, always extended.

It was not; the girls had closed it after the noon meal.

The dishes crashed to the floor.

Jacob, soon entering, had never seen Jane cry. Nor would he ever again, to the end of his life.

Finally, in September, Mr. Houseman announced the account complete, the dishes hers. “Have ‘em ready for you to fetch home of a Tuesday next.”

After chores Tuesday Jane readied herself for the trip; donned a clean calico dress, smoothed her hair, tied a bonnet, hastily and with nervous fingers, eager to be off.

“Don’t look for me back afore supper, Jacob,” she said in farewell. “Promised my folks I’d stop off with the dishes. Can’t wait to show ‘em.”

Dusk’s long fingers cast shadows as Jane, home at last, dismounted. She cradled the dishes and watched

hile most people think of artistic creations when headed to the Salt Fork Festival, musical entertainment also plays a large role in the

festivities.

A wide variety of musical entertainment will be presented at the 47th Salt Fork Festival from August 12-14, 2016 at the Cambridge City Park. Every day the Performing Arts Tent and Large Pavilion will be filled with the music of many exciting groups of all ages.

It all begins on Friday afternoon with The Yurco Boys, a talented group of young men who sing bluegrass music while strumming on their guitar, mandolin, and banjo.

These young fellows are Roots to Rhythm brothers and have only been performing together for three years. Their lively music is a crowd pleaser and they get better every year.

Dance Central presents a vivacious program with students performing a wide variety of dances. Their dancers learn to express themselves through jazz, hip-hop, tap, and ballet. This group puts on a vibrant show and often their dancers perform at community activities, such as the Cambridge Singers’ Concert or the Dickens’ Teddy Bear Tea. New to the area is a group called PanJGea! from John Glenn High School. This steel drum band produces a relaxing sound and rhythm that everyone will enjoy. It’s indeed surprising to find the sound of the Caribbean here in Ohio as the band plays traditional calypso and Salo. But these youngsters also enjoy using their pans for rock and roll or doo-wop.

Another group from John Glenn High School is a select orchestra group called String Sounds. This group has been popular for many years, as they always bring smiles along with their music. As they stroll through the audience, everyone enjoys the close-up contact with the excellent performers. They have had opportunities to perform at various places from the Southeast Ohio Symphony Orchestra to the Rock and

Now & Then • 31

Roll Hall of Fame. This group is quite diverse.

Bands will also provide entertainment during the festival. The Cambridge High School Alumni Jazz Band brings back students who have enjoyed music over the years. Their quality of music brings listeners back again and again.

Under the direction of Mary Fran Cassidy, the ever popular Cambridge Singers will provide Sunday afternoon entertainment at the Big Pavilion in the park.

The newly formed Festival Chorus, with Bob Jones as director, will join forces with the Cambridge Singers for several faith-based selections.

Both groups have a passion for music and love to sing.

On this their 175th anniversary, you can expect some great music from the Cambridge City Band and even special antics by their conductor, Berk Jones. They are a listening pleasure not only during the festival, but also on many Thursday evenings during the summer at the

Cambridge City Park.

A special feature this year will be Toni Kellar with her “Drums to Rhythm” program. Toni’s popular drum circles help people find their inner rhythm and soon the whole group is connected through this fantastic drumming technique. Drum circles will occur every day of the festival.

There is something for every musical taste during the Salt Fork Festival, August 12-14 at the Cambridge City Park. Come out and enjoy a weekend of outstanding artistic creations, fine musical entertainment, and refreshments to enjoy on a hot summer day. You may even want to try your hand at a workshop and do a little creating yourself.

Have fun at the Salt Fork Festival!

Canada Day, also known as Fête du Canada, is the national day of Canada. It is a federal statutory holiday that marks the anniversary of the enactment of the Constitution Act of 1867 — then referred to as the British North America Act, 1867. Originally called

Dominion Day, the holiday was renamed Canada Day in 1982, the same year the Canada Act was passed.

2017 will mark the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, and many Canadians already are counting down to that momentous occasion, when Canada Day celebrations are bound to be even more boisterous and heartfelt than usual.

Various locations across Canada host Canada Day celebrations. According to www.canadaday.gc.ca, areas like Parliament Hill, Major’s Hill Park and The Canadian Museum of History are just a few places in the capital region of Ottawa to celebrate Canada Day. But Canada Day is celebrated across the country as well.

There’s no specific guidelines that govern Canada Day celebrations, but the festivities often include parades, concerts, fireworks, festivals, barbecues, and/or maritime shows.

From the year 1776 to present day, July 4 has been celebrated as the birth of the United States of America.

Referred to as the Fourth of July or Independence Day, July 4 has been a federal holiday since 1941. However,

the tradition and celebration surrounding it dates back to the 18th century and the American revolution.

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress declared that the original thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation and no longer were a part of the British Empire. Independence from Great Britain was formally proposed on July 2, 1776. However, the formal Declaration of Independence was debated and revised, ultimately earning approval on July 4.

Much like their neighbors to the north, American celebrations include family gatherings, vacations, barbecues, parades, firework displays, and many other festivities. Many Americans prominently display the American flag on July 4, and many more decorate their homes and businesses in red, white and blue. Washington, D.C., New York and Boston host stunning fireworks displays to commemorate Independence Day. Many small towns and cities also host their own Independence Day fireworks displays.

is the season for barbecues, picnics and outdoor entertaining. As the weather warms, people take to the outdoors in droves, eager to enjoy the sunshine and the pleasant temperatures. Some may argue that grills, with their charcoal and natural gas heating components sending carbon gases into the air, are bad for the environment. But the disposable plastic containers, dishes and cutlery that are staples of outdoor entertaining may be more harmful to the environment.

In addition to the energy expended and the chemicals used to produce plastic products, disposable items often end up in storm drains, and from those drains they wash into waterways and oceans, where pieces of the plastic are consumed by fish and other aquatic animals.

Now & Then • 36

If the plastic does not injure or kill the fish, it may end up contaminating the animal, passing on dangerous chemicals if that fish later becomes a food source. Many plastics marked as #1 or #7 can be recycled and made into new items, even fabrics. Even plastic products that cannot be recycled can be reused. Bring picnic and barbecue supplies home to wash and use again. To cut down on excess in landfills, limit use of disposable serviceware.

While less convenient, cloth napkins, reusable plates, silverware, and cups are better for the environment.

Designate a special set of items for outdoor use that can be used again and again.
