HEALTH to diagnose physical abnormalities, restore physical function and mobility, maintain that function, and promote proper form for future activity. Physical therapy sessions can take place in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, fitness settings, private practices, and much more. Not only can physical therapists react to and treat an injury, but they can also teach exercises, stretches and techniques to help prevent problems in the first place. Experts at Bay State Physical Therapy indicate that physical therapy extends beyond disabled or injured people. Physical therapists can educate a person on weaknesses in the body and can guide correction on poor body mechanics that cause pain. This way a person can make changes to prevent future pain and injury. Rather than being reactionary, healthy individuals can take a proactive approach to avoiding pain and injury.
REAP THE BENEFITS OF
PHYSICAL THERAPY
While physical therapy can be used for recovery from strokes or paralysis, injuries, trauma, and musculoskeletal conditions, it also benefits healthy people. For example, women can use physical therapy to learn exercises that may prevent pelvic floor dysfunction. In addition, physical therapy can teach people how to improve their balance and prevent falls. When people hear about physical therapy, they tend to think it is for people with injuries.

ecovering from incidents that can impact mobility and range of motion takes time, but physical therapy can help the body acclimate to regular activity once more. Physical therapy also can help healthy people as well. Those who have suffered a sprain or a broken bone or even spent a duration of time immobile in the hospital due to an illness are often prescribed physical therapy as part of their follow-up treatment. Physical therapy programs try to progressively increase strength, improve mobility and help the body return to a state where it can function as best as possible. In many cases, a person can regain his or her original capabilities.

TIM THE TOY MAN TODD Collects Baby Boomer Toys Holiday Display at National Museum of Cambridge Glass
by Beverly Kerr
M
emories of old toys spark an interest in most adults. Tim the Toy Man Todd of Cambridge has taken that spark and turned it into a flame of desire with a large collection of vintage toys from 1946-1964. His collection of Baby Boomer Toys would be the envy of most collectors. While his toys aren’t often on display, when Tim took his toys to a senior group at his church, he realized that people were interested in learning about these old toys. Tim likes to tell stories, so he told them a little history of

the toys and demonstrated how they worked. This year during November and December, the National Glass Museum of Cambridge has asked Tim to display some of his favorite toys there to share with guests during the holidays. It’s an exceptional display of toys, and an added attraction is the fact that each Cindy the Cat toy has the original date and magically smiles, sulks, price as found in old Sears and mews and walks.

An eight-piece crystal glass wine set listed for $1.48 per set. You’ll be able to see some of those pieces also when you visit the museum. While the Toy Man says, “It’s just a hobby”, he certainly enjoys talking about his toys and takes great care of them. The first toy he brought into the museum was a Deluxe Redding Playmobile from 1960. This toy was only available at grocery stores such as Kroger. Battery operated, it gave children a chance to play with the miniature dashboard and turn knobs and switches. The packaging said,“The world’s most exciting and beautiful toy. Just like a real car!” It has a steering wheel, wipers that work, turn signals that light up and a

LOCAL FEATURE to add to his collection. He’s a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to his toys. The box is even important. A little tin gas station complete with oil rack and car wash was Tim’s favorite toy growing up. He remembered circling things he wanted in the Sears catalog and hoping that perhaps he might get one of them for Christmas. Perhaps it was the fact that Tim was always wanting more toys as a child that led him to start a toy collection as an adult. It wasn’t until the early 70s that Tim purchased his first toy, a Remco Shark. Now he has a room full of toys at home and they have spilled over to other places as well. One room could not possibly contain all of them. His wife, Cheryl, is very understanding because as Tim says with a smile, “I have no other bad habits.” But Tim hasn’t played with toys all the time as he has been very active in community organizations. For thirty years, he worked as a printer for Appalachian Behavioral Healthcare and more recently served as Municipal Court bailiff. Today he plays a leadership role at Christ United Methodist Church in Cambridge. Stop by the National Museum of Cambridge Glass on Friday or Saturday from 12:00-4:00 during November and December to see this amazing display of vintage toys. Perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to visit Tim the Toy Man Todd while you’re there.

Make worship
an integral part of the holiday season The hustle and bustle of the often hectic holiday season can make it easy to overlook religion during this special time of year. Come the holidays, adherents of Judaism celebrate Chanukah while many Christians celebrate Christmas. Though different, the two holidays share some similarities. In celebration of Chanukah, families gather for an eight-day commemoration to honor the rededication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem and a miracle in which a small amount of oil illuminated a menorah for eight days. Perhaps because it falls during the holiday season, Chanukah has become one of the most well-known Jewish celebrations, even for those who do not adhere to the Jewish faith. For devout Christians, Christmas isn’t about eggnog and Santa Claus. Christmas (Christ’s Mass) is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God. Christmas is a day of great joy in the Christian faith because it marks the beginning of Jesus’ time on earth. Both Chanukah and Christmas, while joyous celebrations, are laced with solemnity. The Second Jewish Temple was desecrated by Greek-Syrians, who
had erected an altar to Zeus and sacrificed pigs within its sacred walls. At this point in time, Jews had to practice their faith in secret, reading the Torah underground and using dreidels to simulate games and confuse Greek soldiers. However, the Jews, led by a small group of rebels known as the Maccabees, persevered, marking the joy of Chanukah for years to come. The period leading up to Christmas known as Advent is a time for repentance and preparation for the grace and miracle of Jesus’ birth. According to Christianity.com, the word “advent” is derived from the Latin word “adventus,” meaning “coming.” Advent is a time to both reflect on the past and look forward to the future. Much like Lent, Advent is intended to be a season of fasting, prayer and reaching out to God. During the holiday season, houses of worship customarily host prayer sessions and special holidayrelated events. The faithful are encouraged to participate in these events in celebration of their faith. Prayer can help remove distractions during the holiday season, helping individuals reconnect with the true meaning of the holiday season. Just as Christmas and Chanukah have symbolic meaning, Kwanzaa is also celebrated for its symbolism. Millions of people every year, individuals of all ages, take part in the festivities, which were established in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga,professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach. Dr. Karenga, prompted by
the Watts riots in Los Angeles, sought ways to bring African Americans together as a community, and Kwanzaa was born. Kwanzaa, a fun opportunity to gather with friends and family in the heart of the holiday season, celebrates the symbolism and traditions of African American culture. It begins on December 26 and lasts through January 1. There are many components of Kwanzaa celebrations, and decorating for the holiday remains an important way to demonstrate spirit. Celebrants can start by decorating with the traditional colors of red, green and black. These can be displayed in fabrics used in the home, clothing, linens, and other decor. The Bendera Ya Taifa, or the traditional Kwanzaa flag, can be hung and serve as the holiday’s centerpiece.
Celebrants also will want to decorate with the seven symbols of the holiday, or Nguzo Saba: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (faith). Posters, crafts or photographs can be used to symbolize these seven principles. Another component of Kwanzaa is a seven-branched candleholder known as the “kinara.”The kinara represents African ancestors and should be displayed on a table or in another prominent area of the home. Light seven candles to represent the seven principles. Articles of African culture, such as masks or artwork, can complete Kwanzaa decor. Cultural artifacts can be tied into the creative aspect of the holiday. Celebrants might want to craft their own masks or African-inspired artwork to use throughout the holiday. Families come together during Kwanzaa to celebrate African American culture and unity. Decorating for the holiday is a great way for African Americans to exhibit pride in their heritage.

AT FOUNDERS’ CEMETERY “H i s to r y n e ve r re a l l y s ay s goodbye. Histor y says ‘S ee you later.’” — writer Eduardo G aleano
O
n November 3rd, Dickens Victorian Village and the Guernsey County History Museum put on a “living history” presentation at Cambridge’s Founders’ Cemetery. I did a good bit of the research on the Story by RICK BOOTH five characters portrayed in the tour and had the pleasure of playing one of the historically significant figures buried at the cemetery myself. The day was chilly, but at least it didn’t rain. For those who missed it – and to perhaps spur interest in someday repeating the performance in warmer weather – this article presents excerpts from the five characters’ stories, spanning the roughly four score and seven years from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War.
A Cambridge Founder at Cambridge, Mass Nearly all residents of Cambridge are familiar with Gomber and Beatty Avenues paralleling Steubenville Avenue to the north. Many are also aware that the Gomber and Beatty families founded Cambridge, which officially came into existence by way of its recorded plat on June 2nd, 1806. But what is less well known is that town founder Jacob Gomber served his country twice in the Revolutionary War – once at its beginning and a second time at its end. He is one of several Revolutionary War veterans buried at Founders’ Cemetery on Southgate Parkway just two blocks away

from the Guernsey County Courthouse.
George Washington at Cambridge, Mass., 1775 At a mere 16 years of age, young Jacob Gomber of Frederick, Maryland, answered his country’s call in the aftermath of the battles of 1775 near Boston: Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. George Washington was sent by the Continental Congress to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to take command of the various militias there, answering the call to lay siege to the British at Boston. One of those militias was to be a rifle company from Maryland which included Jacob Gomber. A contemporary writer described the Maryland volunteers as “remarkably stout and hardy men.” Dressed in white frocks and round hats, they quickly earned a reputation
Somewhat ominously, there was an Indian village just a few miles away, near the future site of Byesville. One day, Mr. Chapman shot a deer but didn’t have time to butcher it before nightfall. To preserve the carcass until the next day, he hung it from a tree branch. The following day when he returned for the deer, he discovered two Indians taking it down from the tree. So he leveled his gun and killed one of them. The other one got away.
Little Turtle, Miami Indian Chief The next day, he was approached at his cabin by two armed Indians from the nearby village who made clear to him by gestures that he was to come with them back to their town. Faced with nothing but bad alternatives, he complied and went with them to see their chief. He had previously become somewhat acquainted with the chief, so there was hope. And then there was even more hope when the chief informed him that the Indian who Founders continues on pg 18

Captured by the Miami! Fast forward to the 1790s. About the same time Johnny Appleseed was planting trees throughout the Northwest Territory, a different John Chapman set his cabin up a few miles east of the future city of Cambridge. He likely came to the area initially as a trapper, for there was money to be made in furs. The precise year he arrived is unknown, but it was likely between 1790 and 1798, well before the founding of the town and the arrival of the Beattys and Gombers. He may have come with the earliest beginnings of a cleared trail through this area, created by Ebenezer Zane circa 1795-6. But he may have been here even earlier. Somewhere near Four Mile Hill, he lived with his wife and young daughter, Margaretta.

FROM BUNKER HILL TO GETTYSBURG
for marksmanship, firing accurately at targets 200 yards and more distant – including British soldiers. Gomber’s rifle company served with the besieging forces from August until the end of the year, when they returned to Maryland. The British gave up Boston and left in March. Six years of war later, at age 22, Gomber again joined a troop of Maryland “light horse” which helped assist the Marquis de Lafayette as patriot eyes and ears. Lafayette needed cavalry to scout British movements in Virginia as Washington’s army moved south to trap British General Cornwallis at Yorktown. In that capacity, Jacob Gomber served under Lafayette from July through September, 1781, until Washington’s army finally arrived and managed the entrapment of the British by land, the French fleet closing the other half of the trap by sea. The next month Cornwallis surrendered, marking the effective end of the Revolutionary War. Jacob Gomber is said to have chosen the name “Cambridge” for the town he co-founded with the Beattys, yet it was never clearly recorded why he picked the name. Perhaps it had something to do with his youthful encounter with General Washington and history at Cambridge, Massachsetts. On the other hand, what attracted Gomber and the Beattys to Ohio was the toll bridge they built and maintained over Wills Creek near the location of today’s Dewey Avenue Viaduct bridge. The town thus may have been named as much by wordplay – since they “came” here because of the “bridge” – as by a brush with national history. Perhaps both theories have merit, and Cambridge was named by a bit of both.

LOOKING BACK
Founders continued from pg 17 had been killed was not from the local village, but rather was a Miami Indian passing through the area. Full retribution would be up to the Miamis, but the chief nevertheless expressed distress that Mr. Chapman would ambush and kill an Indian in this area. The chief requested a payoff in terms of whiskey and gunpowder in order to square accounts with the locals, who were believed to be of the Delaware tribe. John Chapman paid up promptly. A short time later, however, little Margaretta Chapman, about three years old, disappeared while playing unattended just outside the Chapman cabin as her mother worked inside. When John arrived home and found his wife distraught, they searched high and low for the little girl, but she was gone. Others reported, however, that three Indians had been seen traveling through the area that day. The most likely theory was that Margaretta had been kidnapped. So John set out to follow the Indians – Miamis – who had been traveling west. After three days, he caught up with them. They did have his daughter, but claimed
they weren’t planning to keep her. They said they just wanted to show a little white girl to their squaws. John Chapman took back his daughter without a fight, but that may have had to do with the loaded gun he was no doubt holding at the time. Margaretta returned to the cabin with John, grew up, married a man named Daniel Burton, and raised her own family on land near Byesville. The little girl who was once captured by Indians lived a long and productive life, dying in 1880, 15 years after the close of the Civil War, 26 years after the coming of the railroad, and 52 years after the arrival of the National Road near her old home. Her tombstone is still faintly legible beside that of her father, the pioneer John Chapman, at the eastern end of Founders’ Cemetery.
soldiers. A difficult sea voyage with a captain addicted to drink resulted in a passenger mutiny, wherein Peter Sarchet ended up sailing the ship into Norfolk, and then up the Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore. Nearly two months after leaving Baltimore, the group arrived at Cambridge on August 14, 1806. The last five days of travel over Zane’s Trace had been slow, muddy, and wearying. Seeing that lots in a brand new town were for sale, it is said the women of the group made the decision they had gone far enough. They wished to settle here instead of spending another exhausting week or two trying to reach Chillicothe in time to build shelters before the weather turned cold. The women got their way. The next year, more Guernsey immigrants arrived. By 1810, there were so many Guernsey immigrants living in and around the new town of Cambridge that when it came time to fission a new county off of large, old Muskingum County, the name Guernsey County was chosen in their honor. Many of the citizens of Guernsey County today are descended from the Guernsey immigrants of more than 200

Quite likely, the total eclipse of June 16th, 1806, was seen as an omen by many in the United States that day. Few probably knew it was coming. It reached totality at Boston a little before noon, but at Baltimore it was partial that day – a noticeable dimming, but not quite a blackout. That was the day more than two dozen immigrants from the Isle of Guernsey set out from Baltimore toward what they hoped would be their new home at Chillicothe in Ohio. Their leader was one Thomas Sarchet.

Founders continued from pg 19 In captivity, Santa Anna was “persuaded” to grant Texas its independence from Mexico. In exchange, he was promised his release and safe passage back to Veracruz, Mexico, by way of ship from the East Coast of the United States. The defeated and humbled president was on his way to Washington, DC, on the National Road when he and his Texan guards stopped at the McMurrey Tavern a short distance east of Cambridge. They spent the night there, intriguing the locals, and then moved on. Robert and Esther McMurrey operated the tavern and no doubt long recalled serving their famous and controversial guest of 1836. Ten years later, though, a plague of typhoid fever raged through the Guernsey County area. Robert and Esther died within days of each other in October, 1846. Two of their children succumbed to the plague that month, too. Those days were known as the “sickly fall’ in Guernsey County. More people were buried in Founders’ Cemetery that year than any other.

next train that pulled into the station, however, was also a troop train which included the soldier’s brother. Together, the soldier and his brother rallied the troops to exact revenge on the storekeeper. Seeing the soldiers coming, Frazier locked the door, but they broke in anyhow and began ransacking the store. In self-defense, Frazier took a knife and stabbed one of the soldiers blocking his escape. He ran for protection to the distant farmhouse of Colonel Lofland with soldiers in hot pursuit, shooting at him. He received a flesh wound on his hip, but was caught at the house and brought back to town by the soldiers for what was likely to become a lynching. Colonel Lofland and other city leaders, however, did their best to calm the swelling riot and save Frazier from a swift death. They promised to try him for the attack on the soldier who was badly wounded, but still alive. Though quite a bit of destruction was done to businesses near the train station, including one which was set on fire, Cambridge narrowly missed worse carnage and a greater town burning, had not cooler heads prevailed. Ultimately, the soldiers reboarded their train and left. The wounded Founders continues on pg 22

Gordon Lofland came to Cambridge along with his family at age 22 in 1816. Over succeeding years, he earned a reputation for active civic involvement. By the 1850s, he was known as Colonel Lofland, leading the local militia at their monthly practices. When the first train arrived in Cambridge in 1854, he led the celebratory parade through town. And when the Civil War came, though he was too old, at 66, for a field command in the regular army, he went to work fervently supporting the Union cause and recruiting for it to suppress the Southern rebellion. It’s a good thing he stayed here, because one day in 1863, he helped save Cambridge from destruction… by the very Union Army he supported! On September 29, 1863, a troop train heading west stopped at the Cambridge station to take on water and fuel. Some of the soldiers got off the train to stretch and visit some of the nearby shops. At a grocery near the station, a soldier waiting to receive his change from a purchase heard the whistle of the train signal its imminent departure. Thomas Frazier, behind the counter, was distracted by business with another customer at that moment, so the soldier jumped over the counter, grabbed a box lid containing money, and ran for the train. Not only did the soldier miss the train, though, but Frazier followed him to the street, took back the money, and gave the soldier a beating. The

military commission in charge of creating a national cemetery for the Union dead at Gettysburg. In that role, on November 19th, 1863, Col. Gordon Lofland of Cambridge, Ohio, sat on the speakers’ stand at Gettysburg for the cemetery’s dedication. He listened patiently as famous orator Edward Everett first gave a two-hour speech to the assembled audience of a few thousand. Then Abraham Lincoln rose to give his own Gettysburg Address, so short that the crowd was surprised at how quickly it was over. But Lincoln’s words were the right words. We revere them to this day. And our own Col. Lofland heard Lincoln speak them himself! On May 30th, 1868, after the war, Colonel Lofland spoke, nearly overcome with emotion, at the first Memorial Day event in Cambridge. He had by then worked on burrying the dead at not only Gettysburg, but also Antietam. The next year he died and was buried with others of his family not far from the entrance to Founders’ Cemetery. Next year, Dickens and the History Museum are hoping to enact a similar living history tour of Cambridge’s other nearly-forgotten burial ground, Old City Cemetery on South Eleventh Street. Perhaps the Founders’ tour can be reprised, too. There are so many interesting figures of local history buried in both places. Their tales deserve to live again.

aniel Caron’s favorite place for photography is in nature because it’s always available and changes almost every moment. When people ask where he takes his pictures, they are surprised that often Daniel replies, “In my backyard.” Not only does Daniel take great pictures, but he also adds meaning to them. Take the simple autumn leaf as it fell to the ground in his backyard with colors ranging from green to red to yellow. To Daniel, this leaf signified transition. Nature teaches a lesson to many people who are in transition just like the leaf. The green is a time of growth, while red signifies that robust time of life. Yellow mellows out for their golden years. Obviously, this photographer observes and sees things in nature and people that others don’t see. When he does senior portraits, they capture an extra special side of each individual. Two people have been a tremendous influence in his life. His dad gave Daniel his love of nature through National Geographic specials the family watched together. His wife taught him more about kindness and caring than anyone else. Often Daniel gives talks on photography at various libraries and community functions. At a recent lecture at Crossroads Library, Daniel impressed those in attendance with his skill and photographs. He was willing to give instructions and ideas to improve others’ photos as well. This award winning photographer didn’t promote any certain camera for pictures and even acknowledged that the handy cell phone produced some nice pictures. Not only is Daniel a great photographer, but also a great teacher of ways to enhance your photography skills. Be sure to bring your camera or cell phone to his lectures for some hands on experience. When talking to Daniel about his pictures, it was
surprising to discover there was much more than photography on his mind. Previously, he had worked in administration at a West Virginia college where he provided wellness and substance abuse education. He also has been an adjunct faculty member at three West Virginia colleges. But then 9/11 happened! When he saw the caring messages shared that day, he decided to leave the field of education and spread the word about improving people’s daily interactions. Since that time he has worked with thousands of people across the United States, Canada and several foreign countries. He makes it clear that he is not a motivational speaker as he focuses on skill development to help people get along with each other. Most people don’t want to be butting heads with traffic, family, and society, but people don’t know what to do about it. That’s what Daniel is trying to teach in his engagements. We all need that kindness and love connection. His talks are made at many different places such as senior centers, correctional facilities, service men and women, colleges and universities. The farthest he has traveled was to South Africa where he worked with children at a school for the deaf showing them that someone cares. One of his recent speeches was entitled “How to Play with Difficult People”. It’s all about building a better life and living the way we really want to be. “Few things build community faster than showing people how everyone is connected.” When asked for the first tip to better living, the answer was surprising. “Pay attention to your breathing.” When we are upset our breathing changes. By taking a deep breath and letting go with a sigh, you can feel the body relax. Daniel takes his work seriously. “If you knew that kindness and connection benefited everyone, why would you behave any other way?” PHOTOS: 1 – Late Blooming Rose 2 – Watching the Sunset Returning to the original topic of photography, Dan3 – Falling Transition 4 – Daniel enjoys being close to nature in iel gave this advice,“Quick and easy doesn’t always his journey through life. 5 – Ancient Art by Fremonts.

work. A photographer takes his time. There are no shortcuts.” Daniel recalls sitting in his back yard early in the morning just waiting for the sun to come up and hit the frost on the trees. The photographs he captures makes the waiting all worthwhile. His dream would be to have an assignment from National Geographic as this wanderlust would enjoy visiting every zoo in the world. While he already swam with dolphins, wolves and bears, he’d love to see the penguins and seals in Antarctica before they are gone. There is so much going on in the world that Daniel said, “I don’t want to miss the adventure.” But Daniel is content wherever he is. He commented that when he grew up in Massachusetts, he would never have believed that someday he would live in Ohio with his wife, two rescue horses, six chickens, four roosters and six cats. His love of nature certainly is evident in everything he does. Daniel’s advice for everyone is simply, “Be kind.” To reach Daniel Caron to engage him for a talk about photography or kindness, call him at 740-314-9198 or email him using: daniel@danielsprograms.com .
