TIPS to overcome
2. Employ RICE. RICE, which stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation, can help men and women overcome the aches and pains that result as the body ages and tendons begin to lose some of their elasticity. RICE might be most helpful for people who have been diagnosed with tendinitis. Athletes over 40 who engage in activities that require repetitive motion might need to take more days off between rounds of golf or other competitive and/or repetitive activities. If tendinitis flares up, take some time away, icing any sore areas, wrapping them in bandages, and elevating them while resting. Athletes rarely want to sit on the sidelines, but a few days off can go a long way toward alleviating the pain associated with tendinitis.

ACHES AND PAINS
3. Recognize your body may develop some limitations.
Pain is a significant concern for many people. Estimates from the International Association for the Study of Pain suggest that one in five adults across the globe suffer from pain.
Age should not prevent you from being physically active, and numerous studies have touted the benefits of
continuing to exercise into your golden years. However, as the body ages, muscle fibers become less dense, resulting in a loss of flexibility that increases the risk of injury and/ or soreness. As men and women grow older, they shouldn’t abandon activities like gardening or strength training. But they may need to scale back on the intensity with which they perform such activities. Doing so can prevent the kinds of muscle strains associated with aging.
PAIN AFFECTS MORE THAN ONE BILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE GLOBE. BUT SOME SIMPLE STRATEGIES CAN HELP PEOPLE OVERCOME PAIN AND ENJOY A RICH QUALITY OF LIFE.

ain can affect anyone, even people who have not been in an accident or suffered an injury while playing a sport or performing another physical activity. For example, lower back pain, which can be caused by sitting at a desk for long stretches of time, is the most common type of chronic pain in the United States. Such pain may be unavoidable, but that does not mean it and other types of everyday aches and pains cannot be overcome.
1. Begin a well-rounded exercise regimen. Regular exercise that includes both strength training and cardiovascular exercise increases blood flow and helps build a strong core. A strong core supports the spine and reduces the pressure on it, making it less likely people who sit for long stretches at a time will end their days with lower back pain. Routine exercise also helps other areas of the body by keeping muscles loose and flexible. Before beginning a new exercise regimen, men and women, especially those with existing aches and pains, should consult their physicians about which exercises they should do and which they might want to avoid.

hose who have lived in Fairview for a long time, have great memories to share that perhaps some have forgotten. Kenny Keylor has been around for 94 years and counting. He shared some stories and pictures with me during a recent visit. A group from Maryland led by Ralph Cowgill and
Hugh Gilliland stayed at the Bradshaw Inn as they walked the old Wheeling Road. When they stopped along the way some climbed a hill and are said to comment, “My, what a fair view.” The name stuck! The town was laid out by Hugh Gilliland in 1814 on the border of Guernsey and Belmont counties. He platted thirty lots, each one-fourth of an acre and fronting on each side of the Wheeling Road. By 1866, 555 people lived there – its highest population.
Fairview home of Dr. Arnold
A big attraction back in 1806 were the fields of pennyroyal that grew wild in the area. The herb received its name because it was a favorite of the English royalty who treated headaches, cold, arthritis and dizziness with this oil. Thus, the name Pennyroyaldom for the area. Benjamin Borton had learned how to distill the pennyroyal oil while living in New Jersey. His sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons continued in the business selling this “cure-all” oil after the family moved to Fairview. This oil, along with tobacco, both “cash crops”, were
shipped by freight wagons on the Old National Road to the eastern markets. Fairview produced more Pennyroyal Oil than any other place in the nation. Its medicinal purposes were still being sold in the 1980s until the government labeled it a possible carcinogen. Since the town was growing, Fairview became filled with many needed businesses: general stores, grist mill, millinery store, two hotels, and three cigar factories. Over twenty different occupations found a place in town to hang their shingle: dentist, doctor, undertaker, barber, and blacksmith to name a few. As you can tell, this was a thriving little community. A medical school existed in Fairview taught by Dr. T. McPherson. If someone wanted to become a doctor, he had to serve three years in the school and then one year in Columbus. They even had two local grave robbers who supplied cadavers to the school. To maintain their heritage, every August from1880 until 2014, residents of Fairview and descendants of Fairview residents gathered for the Pennyroyal Reunion to enjoy music, food and a chance to share stories of Fairview. The first reunion was held in 1880 in Gardenia Grove just west of Fairview with 4500 people present. Organized by

was performed. Most recently their entertainment has been bluegrass music. But every year a chorus performed their Pennyroyal Song, Down in Ohio, with lyrics and music written by John H. Sarchet, who directed the chorus for many years. Since those early days of Pennyroyaldom, today Fairview survives as a small town with a population of between 80 and 85. But their heritage is never forgotten

David Taylor, editor of the Guernsey Times, Sarchet’s History of Guernsey County states that Taylor was “the presiding genius and program maker of the Pennyroyal Reunion.” He gave the organization state-wide recognition as the greatest of all harvest-home picnics. The Governor of Ohio spoke at the Pennyroyal Reunion. He stayed in Barnesville and a horse and buggy brought him to Fairview, where he gave a speech in the afternoon. Five officials, who later became Presidents of the United States, also joined in the celebrations. Kenny Keylor has been a big supporter of his community and the reunion for all his life. He played his guitar as part of the entertainment. His collection of Pennyroyal Reunion programs has only five years missing. In earlier years, entertainment took many forms. Minstrel shows were very popular and one year a three-act play

1. To make pizza dough, stir together all-purpose
Serves: 4 flour, cake flour, yeast and salt in a mixer fitted with a dough hook; make a well in the center. Add water. Mix on medium speed until all flour is incorporated into dough; add remaining flour as needed to have soft, slightly sticky dough. Alternatively, you can mix by hand. Turn out on a well-floured surface. Let rest covered for 10 minutes. Divide into thirds. 2. Place a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 F. Gently flatten dough into a circle or rectangle on a lightly floured surface, creating a rim. Transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet; slide dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl with garlic, rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. Remove pizza from oven. Brush with olive oil mixture and top with ricotta and mozzarella. Return pizza to oven, baking until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 6 more minutes. 4. Toss arugula and shallot slices in a large bowl with lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizza with arugula salad, speck and shaved Parmesan cheese. 5. Cut into wedges or squares with scissors; serve immediately. Tip: As an alternative to speck, you can try Black Kassel Old Forest, Picante or Mustard Seed salami. You can also buy store-made pizza dough and simply layer on the toppings.

THE ELEMENTS
In a perfect world, all vehicle owners would be able to park their cars and trucks in garages. In such a world, automobiles would not be vulnerable to sun, storms and other natural elements that, over time, can contribute to wear and tear. But many drivers cannot or choose not to park their cars in garages. Some are content to let their vehicles brave the elements, while others look for ways to protect their cars and trucks as much as possible. Drivers who count themselves among the latter group can take these simple steps to protect their cars and trucks from whatever Mother Nature has in store for them. • Park in the shade. Parking in the shade can protect both the interior and exterior of a vehicle. Shaded areas protect upholstery and dashboards inside the car from sun-induced fading, while also limiting the damage sun can cause to exterior paint. Faded paint may hurt the resale value of a vehicle, prompting prospective buyers to walk away or at least wonder if a vehicle with a faded exterior was well maintained. • Wash and wax. Washing and waxing a vehicle helps to minimize damage that’s inevitable regardless of where drivers park their cars. Dirt and debris litter roadways, and over time cars can collect a large amount
of these unwanted stowaways. If dirt and debris are not removed, they can cause long-term damage to vehicle exteriors. Washing and waxing a car can ensure its exterior looks good and reduce the likelihood of rust and other corrosion from occurring. • Don’t write off bird droppings. Some drivers, especially those who do not park their cars and trucks in garages, may write off bird droppings as an annoying yet harmless side effect of vehicle ownership. However, bird droppings are acidic and, if left to their unsightly devices, can cause permanent damage to vehicle paint. Tree sap is an equally formidable foe, potentially causing scratching because it can be very difficult to remove without spreading. Specially formulated sprays can help drivers remove bird droppings and sap from their vehicles. • Employ a car cover. Drivers who have garages but use them to store things other than their vehicles can use car covers when parking their cars in their driveways. Covers protect cars from the elements and can be quickly and easily removed. Nature can be harsh on vehicles. Protecting automobiles from the elements should be a priority for drivers, especially those who do not park their cars and trucks in garages.

AMAZING SATURN V MOON ROCKET
“M y G o d, o u r b u i l d i n g' s s h a ki n g here! Oh it's terrific, the building's shaking!” — Walter Cronk ite, broadcasting the first S aturn V rocket launch, November 9, 1967
stood 363 feet tall, the height of a 36-story building. It weighed 7.5 million pounds. For the first several minutes of flight, it burned 14 tons of fuel each second. And far beyond these gross statistics, the complex ballet of parts and fluids and gases going on inside the rocket was amazing, too. In recent years, a few very good books have come out, explaining the inner workings of the great rocket. Those details only add to the degree of appreciation the NASA engineers of old deserve. The Saturn V rocket was divided into three main stages. The first and most powerful stage ran on highly refined kerosene, known a RP-1 fuel, and liquid oxygen. It housed five “F-1” engines, the most powerful singlechamber rocket engines ever built. Though 53,000 horsepower sounds like a large number, that is just the energy it took to run the fuel pump for the F-1, spraying nearly three tons of liquid propellants into its combustion chamber each second. The pump ran on its own separate supply of hydrogen peroxide fuel, burning up about as much power as 400 typical automobile engines could do today. And that’s just the fuel pump for one engine! It had to spray those three tons of propellants each second, exerting pressures above a thousand pounds per square

inch, into the combustion chamber. Once there, their fire burned at temperatures exceeding 5,000 degrees. The hot gases, streaming from the engine nozzle at speeds above two miles a second, generated an effective 16 million horsepower per engine, for a total effective single-engine thrust of just over 1.5 million pounds. It actually took some fancy engineering to keep the F-1 engine from melting itself. The bell of the engine was constructed from hundreds of metal tubes carrying the kerosene fuel just before pushing it into the combustion chamber. The continuous supply of fresh kerosene at about 80 degrees in the pipes kept the bell from melting. Furthermore, exhaust gases from the hydrogen peroxiderun fuel pump, which were not hot enough to melt the bell, were injected around the bell’s periphery to create a continuous protective layer of gas against the bell’s inner surface. It took quite a few clever tricks to keep the engine from melting itself. Propellants flowed into the combustion chamber through a big metal plate that looked very much like a giant showerhead. In fact, it was a plate with over 500 separate nozzles, each one spraying both kerosene and oxygen in tandem. The plate was surrounded by the hundreds of cooling pipes that formed the combustion chamber and bell. The second and third stages of the Saturn V used “J2” engines fueled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen – five in the second stage, and one in the third. These engines and their fuel tanks were cryogenic marvels, for

As a result, many of the working parts of the rocket engines could only be lubricated with the liquid oxygen and hydrogen they were pumping through the system, so that’s the way they were designed to work. Besides the five F-1 engines and the six J-2 engines in the Saturn V, there were actually quite a few other smaller rocket thrusters and explosive charges on the vehicle, mostly having to do with “staging,” the act of breaking off a spent stage of the rocket and starting up the engines on the next one. For instance, it was not sufficient to simply shut off the first stage engines and expect it to fall away from the rest of the rocket so the second stage could ignite. Devices called “exploding bridgewires” detonated to physically break the connections between the first and second stages, and then up to eight small retro rockets on the first stage fired to pull it backward

valves, much the way CO2 cartridges are sometimes used to supply forces in devices at ordinary temperatures. One of the most difficult problems the Saturn V engineers had to solve was something called the “pogo problem,” named after the bouncing motion of the common pogo stick, which the motion resembled. Pogostyle shaking in the rocket was hard to predict. It had to do with natural “resonant frequencies” within the rocket itself, some of which changed as fuels moved around ROCKET continues on pg 18

and away from the second stage so that the J-2 engines’ exhaust gases would not be blocked by the spent stage when those engines came to life. As thousands of gallons of fuel was emptying from the rocket’s tanks each second, something had to fill the void to maintain appropriate pressure in the tanks. This was actually supplied by helium gas, the same type that is used in party balloons. Helium had the advantage that it stayed in gaseous form even at the temperature of liquid hydrogen. It was stored in high-pressure tanks inside the rocket. In the second and third stages, those tanks were even kept inside the hydrogen tanks, allowing a maximum amount of helium to be stored thanks to the low hydrogen temperatures. When needed to pressurize the tanks, it was gradually released and heated in order to expand and pressurize the large, emptying fuel tanks. The pressurized helium was also used to supply the force to operate some of the engine

liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are tremendously cold. By way of comparison, the coldest day ever recorded in Ohio occurred over 100 years ago when the mercury dipped to -39 degrees. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) exists at -109 degrees. Liquid oxygen only exists far below that at -297 degrees. And hydrogen must be kept at -423 degrees in order to remain liquid. That is just 36 degrees above the lowest possible temperature for anything, where molecular motion simply stops! Of all the fuels in the Saturn V, only the 200,000 gallons of kerosene in the first stage could be kept in the rocket at ordinary Florida temperatures. Indeed, it was therefore the only fuel that was loaded several days in advance of liftoff. The liquid oxygen and hydrogen had to be loaded just before launch because they tended to quickly boil away. Indeed, when liquid hydrogen first started to enter its stage two and stage three fuel tanks, much of it boiled off in the process of simply cooling the containers down to the point that any of the hydrogen entering the tank would remain liquid at all. This in itself caused further engineering problems, for gaseous hydrogen is quite explosive. As the hydrogen tanks were filled and topped off just prior to launch, the gaseous hydrogen so generated was carefully piped about a quarter mile away from the launch pad to a little lake with a network of heated wires strung above it. As the hydrogen bubbled up through the lake’s waters it was ignited and burned off by the overhead mesh, the safest way NASA could come up with to avoid an explosive accident. The famous, long-ago Hindenburg disaster, wherein the gargantuan, 800-foot-long passenger airship caught fire and burned in front of newsreel cameras while landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey, in 1937, was due to the burning of the hydrogen gas that filled the zeppelin, making it lighter than air. The hydrogen gas that was simply boiled off as a side effect of Saturn V fueling was more than enough to have filled and floated the airship Hindenburg! The extraordinarily cold temperatures of the rocket fuels caused a host of thermodynamic engineering problems for the rocket designers. In the rocket’s second stage, for instance, the adjoined oxygen and hydrogen tanks were separated only by a modest layer of insulation. If the liquid hydrogen brought down the liquid oxygen’s temperature by just 65 degrees, it would start to turn solid, and you can’t pump solid oxygen to the engines. Metal parts in engines also changed size with temperature. And normal oils and greases all become hard as rocks in the deep chill zones of the propellants.

ROCKET continued from pg 17 and were expended. In the worst case, violent internal shaking could rupture rocket parts and cause catastrophic failure. It also threatened to shake astronauts senseless, if uncontrolled. It was hard to predict, and many a damping mechanism was experimented with to “tune” the Saturn V so it wouldn’t shake itself – or the astronauts – to death. Some of the solution involved putting in anti-sloshing guards in the fuel tanks, but there was more to it than that. Fortunately, they got it sufficiently under control, though it never entirely went away. No two rockets behaved quite the same in that regard. America’s top moon rocket designer, often called the “father of the Saturn V,” was Wernher von Braun. He is not as well-known and remembered today as he might have been, had he not also been Hitler’s top rocket designer during World War Two. It was actually Dr. von Braun and the roughly 100 other German rocket scientists we captured at the end of that war who led our most advanced rocketry efforts through the 1960s. Technically, von Braun had been a Nazi and even an SS officer during the war, but a reluctant one, at best. His interest in rocketry since childhood had always been toward the goal of space exploration. He had hoped someday to fly into space himself. He didn’t think much of Hitler. But it was

making V-2 rockets to strike England that kept his wartime science efforts funded. The United States government did its best to downplay his history and suppress parts of it throughout the early space program. We would not have met Kennedy’s goal of landing on the moon in the 1960s without him. One of the most daring decisions in the American space program was made by a NASA project manager named George Mueller about a month before President Kennedy

In order to reach the president’s goal of landing on the moon by the decade’s end, he realized there would not be enough time to methodically develop and test the three stages of the Saturn V separately. Four years before it ever flew, he ordered its first flight to be an “all-up” test with all three stages flying together, each for the very first time. A first stage failure would destroy the other two stages’ tests. It was a risky bet, but it worked. In late 1967, all three stages of the very first Saturn V rocket worked nearly to perfection. It had been a huge gamble, but that first successful 1967 all-up test made President Kennedy’s goal, set in 1961, an achievable reality. No Saturn V rocket has flown since 1973. Of those that did fly, the first and second stages all fell into the Atlantic. They’re still around, mostly three miles deep – but not entirely. In recent years, space program enthusiast Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and also the richest man in the world, has sent ships out to recover what they can of the old rockets from the sea floor. He even picked up the center F-1 engine bell of the Apollo 11 mission. Personally, I can appreciate that sort of nostalgia and enthusiasm for the early space program. At age 13, thanks to a couple of excellent parents, I got to witness the launch of Armstrong’s and Aldrin’s Apollo 11 moon mission. Walter Cronkite was quite right. As I too recall, the Saturn V’s roar was terrific!

quite understood what the song meant and ponders whether it is about forgetting about friends or remembering them. Sally sums it up by saying the song is simply about old friends. That is the interpretation many New Year’s Eve celebrants embrace as they toast to the new year and sing their hearts out. For those who never bothered to learn or have forgotten the words to this staple of New Year’s celebrations, here is the popularized English translation sung most often. “Auld Lang Syne” Should old acquaintances be forgotten, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintances be forgotten, and days of old lang syne. Chorus: For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne, We will take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne.

We two have run about the hillsides and pulled the daisies fine, But we have wandered many a weary foot for times gone by. We two have paddled (waded) in the stream from noon until dinner time, But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne. And there is a hand, my trusty friend, And give us a hand of yours, And we will take a goodwill drink For auld lang syne. And surely you will pay for your pint, and surely I will pay for mine! And we will take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.

New Year’s Eve festivities peak when the official countdown of the clock begins. After the ball drops and midnight has arrived, revelers cheer to the new year and exchange kisses and well wishes. Once such wishes have been exchanged, many people begin to sing “Auld Lang Syne.” But few know what “Auld Lang Syne” means or why it is sung on New Year’s Eve. Confusion regarding this song is almost as notable as the tradition of singing it. Many people mumble through the lyrics because they never bothered to learn them. “Auld Lang Syne” is a Scottish composition that is well over 200 years old. Written by Robert Burns in the 1700s, the author never intended for the song to become a staple of the holiday season. It was originally a poem that was later put to the tune of a traditional folk song. The title translates roughly in English as “old long since,” or “long, long ago.” The song pays homage to times gone by and past experiences. The song has been performed at group jamborees, funerals and other special occasions all over the world, but it is best known for its affiliation with New Year’s festivities. The man behind that affiliation may be Canadian musician Guy Lombardo, whose band used “Auld Lang Syne” as a bridge between two radio programs during a live New Year’s Eve performance in 1929. Coincidentally, the song was played directly after the clock struck midnight, laying the groundwork for a New Year’s Eve tradition. Now “Auld Lang Syne” has forever been tied to well-intentioned resolutions and sappy slaps on the back. Despite selling millions of records, Lombardo became more famous for his New Year’s Eve song than anything else. Confusion over “Auld Lang Syne” remains to this day. It has been the butt of jokes in popular culture, even earning a nod in the movie “When Harry Met Sally.” Harry laments to Sally that he never

The Oldof Soldier Cambridge “Served under and was a friend of General George Washington, Revolutionary War. Born in Germany (The Oldest Man) Died 1840 Aged 124 years. Husband of Mary MacKay.” Andrew Whittier was born in Germany in1716. He came to America and settle at /Baltimore, MD, when it as only a village. He later lived in Virginia and Pennsylvania and then in Jackson Township in Guernsey County, which at the time was a military reservation for Revolutionary War soldiers shortly after the War of 1812. He died on July 5, 1840, in Jackson Township, supposedly at the age of 124.
Puzzle
Whittier was first buried in a cemetery close to a creek near Byersville, in Guernsey County, but when the creek water washed some of the bodies out, his body was moved to the Old Cambridge Baptist Church graveyard under auspices of the Cambridge Grand Army of the Republic Post 34. A story that has been handed down through some families of Cambridge concerning this old Revolutionary soldier is as follows: The year before is death, when123 years old, during wheat harvest, he cut with a sickle and put up unaided twelve dozen sheaves of wheat—a feat rarely equaled by many men in the prime of life. Andrew Whittier’s tombstone was featured in the “Ripley’s Believe it or Not!” newspaper column of October 13, 1972 Sources Find a Grave: Andrew Whittier (1716—1840) “Histories of Guernsey County”

January Crossword & Sudoku Answers
The dawn of a new year is a time when many people take inventory of the previous 12 months and begin thinking about ways they can improve their lives in the coming year. Such looking ahead can provide inspiration and motivation. Resolving to make changes at the beginning of a new year is a tradition for many people. Even when people veer off course from their resolutions, many pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try again year after year. The custom of making resolutions is celebrated in many areas of the world. But how did the custom begin? History.com states that the origins of New Year’s resolutions can be traced to the ancient Babylonians, who purportedly made promises to the gods to earn good favor for the coming year. These resolutions were personal promises of growth and redemption and were made in conjunction with the start of a new year which, at the time, began in mid-March and not January. Common resolutions revolved around getting out of debt or returning borrowed items. The Babylonians tried to fulfill these resolutions so that the pagan gods would bestow favor on them, including a rich harvest, for the coming year.

The Romans were the first to change the calendar to have the new year begin on January 1. January was named for the Roman god Janus, who had dual faces. Romans believed that Janus could not only look back into the previous year, but also look forward to the next one. So Romans made promises to Janus to do good deeds in the months to come and learn from past mistakes. Early Christians also embraced resolutions as chances to repent and redeem themselves through positive actions. Although there are still some religious ties to resolutions, New Year’s resolutions are still largely practiced today. And unlike making promises to God or pagan gods, resolutions are now most often personal promises focusing on self-improvement. The largest percentage of resolutions made today, according to Statistics Brain, involve self-improvement or education-related goals. Sharing one’s resolutions with a third party can help people stay motivated as they pursue their goals. Resolutions have been made for thousands of years, and millions of people still make them today.

Family Memories of
Guernsey County’s
Annie Oakley
M
emories awaken when a picture or object appears that opens doors to the past. Recently, an original Thompson Feed Company sign brought back memories to the family of Emma Sherby as it stated: No Hunting Without Permission.
by BEVERLY KERR

In 1913, Ohio decided that hunters needed to have a license. Young Emma at the age of 17 purchased one of those early licenses for the fee of ONE DOLLAR in Cambridge at the Guernsey County Clerk of Courts. She was a very slim girl as the license listed her at 5'9” and 120 pounds with light hair and blue eyes. Since the law went into effect on November 12 and Emma purchased her license on November 15, she definitely was one of the first to purchase a license and also the first licensed female hunter in Guernsey County.

Word of this early license spread quickly and an article titled “Girl Hunter Bags Rabbits for Tables of Mining Settlement” was written in the Cleveland Press on November 29, 1913. Hank Sherby still has that original article as well as the cloth hunting license issued to his great-aunt Emma. Using a W. Richards Double Barrel Shotgun, her hunting ability was well known in the area as she liked to explore PHOTOS: 1 Emma Sherby, the first licensed female hunter in Guernsey County– 2 Emma Sherby's hunting license – 3 The Sherby home – 4 Thompson's feed store – 5 Thompson's feed store– 6 Emma's great nephew Hank Sherby holds Emma's Double Barrel Shotgun.

the out-of-doors and often bagged wildlife not only for her own family but for the neighbors as well. Some even called her Guernsey County's Annie Oakley. Back in 1896, Dr. Robbins came to the farm's log cabin on horseback to deliver baby Emma. A large ledger contains this information about the day she was born: “May 8, 1896, Emma born Friday at 4 o'clock on the farm in the afternoon.” Two months later they moved to the house where Emma lived the rest of her life. Her parents, Michael and Josephine Sherby, had four children: Elvin, Emma and twins Ella and Emanuel. Michael was a headhunter recruiting miners for Cambridge Collieries and rented houses on Buffalo Mine Road to miners. Later he worked for Byesville State Bank. Dependable seems a proper word to describe Emma. She worked hard all her life. Emma never married but cared for her family by working the farm to pay bills, raising a large garden, canning chickens for winter food, and was a beekeeper to keep honey on the table. Hank

describes her as “a hunter/trapper/fisherwoman..a true country girl.” Sounds more and more like Annie Oakley!
PHOTOS: 1 November 29, 1913 story printed in the Cleveland Press on Emma Sherby 2 A collection of Emma's traps – 3 Emma is described as a "hunter/trapper/ fisherwoman.. a true country girl."
Sometimes when money was scarce during the Depression, Emma would take feathers from the chickens and ducks and barter them for goods at the general store. People enjoyed having the feathers for their pillows and comforters. Hank and his brother, Robert, fondly remember bringing in a bucket of blackberries to Emma in the summertime. She would then fire up the wood stove and bake them a blackberry pie in a small tin. Still sounds delicious! It was no secret that Emma had a sweet tooth as well. Although she had the important hunting license, Emma never cared to get a driver's license. In fact, it is said that Emma never left Guernsey County in her life except when she had to register for Social Security. She worked so hard that one wonders what she did for relaxation. Every day the flowers she grew gave her pleasure, but on Sundays, she could often be found riding her white horse on a trail ride in the vicinity of Cherry Hill.

Having grown up in the Depression, Emma saved everything and some would say she was a hoarder. In their barn, she had saved a pile of cherry boards that she always said would be used for something special. When Emma died at the age of 93, they made her casket from these cherry boards and had the funeral at the farm where she lived her entire life.
2
This lady lived from 1896 – 1983 so would have seen many changes in our world. After living through the Great Depression, it's easy to understand why Emma saved everything. She didn't want to have to do without again. Imagine her excitement at seeing those first automobiles, telephones, television, and even a man landing on the moon. Family remembers that Emma kept up with the news and they received four newspapers in their house. Annie Oakley expressed her feelings when she said, “Any woman who does not thoroughly enjoy tramping across the country on a clear frosty morning with a good gun and a pair of dogs does not know how to enjoy life.” Have a feeling that Emma would have agreed.

Liberated women have been with us throughout history. That's nothing new. Emma certainly depicted that image from a very early age and continued to do things throughout her life that people today would label as 'liberated'. Emma Sherby was just ahead of her time.
How to make your favorite foods
HEALTHIER
After the whirlwind of the holiday season, the season of resolutions takes over. Many people to resolve to live healthier, and they may not have to give up their favorite foods to do so. Research from the National Institutes of Health suggests American adults between the ages of 18 and 49 gain an average of one to two pounds every year. Grazing and overeating tends to increase when the weather cools down. A 2005 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that, in the fall, people tend to consume more calories, total fat and saturated fat. In the spring, people seem to prefer more carbohydrates. In addition, less powerful sunshine in winter coupled with people bundling up translates into less vitamin D being absorbed by the body. Some researchers believe there is a link between vitamin D deficiency and weight gain as well. To ensure that certain foods do not sabotage healthy eating plans, people can employ some easy modifications and make healthier versions of the foods they like to eat. • Choose crunchy foods. Those who are prone to snacking can reach for noisy foods. These include crunchy items like apples, carrots and pretzels. Scientists say that when people listen to what they are chewing — called the “crunch effect” — they eat less of that item.
• Tone down the cream. Delicious dishes like fettuccine alfredo typically are made with lots of butter and cream. Replace cream sauces with a healthier base made of low-fat milk thickened with flour. Increase the flavor with favorite spices. • Fry with care. Use healthy oils like olive or coconut sparingly. Many foods that are traditionally fried also can be lightly coated with cooking spray and baked for a crunchy texture. • Choose sodium-free seasonings. The USCA recommends limiting sodium to less than 1 teaspoon of salt per day. Try options like fresh herbs or lemon juice to add some sodium-free flavor. • Increase fiber content. Fiber helps one feel fuller longer and can also be helpful for digestion and heart health. Choose the “brown” varieties of rice, pasta and breads. • Replace meat with leaner forms of protein. Lean chicken, turkey and pork can replace red meats in many recipes. Some traditional meat dishes, such as burgers, also can be modified using vegetables or seafood. Lean meats dry out quickly, so keep foods moist by watching cooking times. • Stock up on yogurt. Greek and other varieties of yogurt can replace sour cream and mayonnaise in many dishes. Resolving to eat healthier can be easy by making some simple swaps when preparing your favorite foods.
