Read more books for better health

he availability of digital content has made it easy to forget how pleasurable it can be to pick up a good book and get lost in a story. In fact, a 2015 Huffington Post/ YouGov poll of 1,000 adults in the United States found that 28 percent hadn’t read a single book in the previous 12 months. Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health analyzed 12 years of data from the University of Michigan’s Health and Retirement Study concerning reading habits.

Among the 3,600 participants over the age of 50, those who read books for as little as 30 minutes per day over several years were living an average of two years longer than those who didn’t read.

Studies have shown that reading improves fluency and story retention while providing a host of additional benefits to young children. However, the perks do not end with the passing of adolescence. Data published in the journal Neurology found reading regularly improves memory function by working out the brain. This can help slow a decline in memory and other brain functions. Frequent brain exercise can lower mental decline by 32 percent, according to research published in The Huffington Post. Studies even suggest that reading can help a person be more empathetic to others’ feelings. Research published in the journal Science showed that reading literary works (not popular fiction) cultivates a skill known as “theory of mind,” which is the “ability to ‘read’ the thoughts and feelings of others.” Reading also can be calming, helping to reduce stress as a result. By losing oneself in a book, worries and stress can melt away, says research conducted in 2009 at the University of Sussex. Measuring heart rate and muscle tension, researchers discovered that study participants needed just six minutes to relax once they began reading. There are many other reasons why reading is good for the mind and body. The following tips can help men and women find more time to read. • Find small minutes to read. Busy people may think they don’t have the time to devote to reading, but if they read in small intervals, the amount of time will add up. Read during commutes (if you’re not driving), while in physicians’ waiting rooms or during a lunch hour. • It’s okay to quit. If you’re a few chapters into a book and it’s not striking your fancy, it’s okay to trade up for a more interesting tale. Don’t feel obligated to finish a book if you are not engaged. • Read paper books. Reading printed books can be a welcome, relaxing change from looking at screens all day. This may inspire you to read more and for longer periods of time. • Join a book club. A book club in which you engage with fellow readers can motivate you to read more often.

COOPERMILL BRONZE WORKS Prepares Alan Cottrill Sculptures Story & Photos by BEVERLY KERR

Seeing is believing. A trip to Coopermill Bronze Works explained more clearly how one of Alan Cottrill’s bronze statues becomes a reality. It’s not an easy task! The Bronze Works is located on the farm of Charles Leasure, a life-long friend of Alan, and there’s even a statue in Charlie’s field...a mushroom hunter, in bronze of course. This farm has been in his family for eight generations. Charlie and Alan created Bronze Works back in 1996. Alan needed a handy place to complete his bronze creations so made his own bronze casting foundry. So far they have cast well over 500 of Alan’s statues and hundreds of other sculptor’s works. You can tell Alan is a down-to-earth kind of guy in spite of his fantastic talent to sculpt just about anything. His Bronze Works is not a big, fancy building, but one that can do the job required. While Alan does the preliminary work of designing the perfect wax statue in the downtown Zanesville studio, the final touches are placed here at Bronze Works by highly skilled Ohio artisans. You have to understand that the statue is not bronzed as a whole. It is separated into many, many pieces, which are individually prepared before the final assembly happens. The whole thing is quite complicated so if my explanation isn’t quite perfect, please excuse me. Bronze Works is where every fingerprint is erased and every line made crystal clear. Each detail makes a difference in the final product. Some parts are definitely easier than others. The men found it much easier to do a five-foot pant leg rather than a five-inch head. It has to be perfect in its wax state, otherwise, when it is made into a mold, the bronze statue would carry any flaws, no matter how small. When asked how they correct tiny mistakes, Dana answered with a big smile, “I fix it with

The workers commented that it was somewhat like dipping a fish in batter and then rolling it in flour. They do this dipping several times until dip by dip, a thick ceramic mold is formed all around the wax piece. When this dries, they melt the wax inside and remove it, leaving an empty shell to fill with, you guessed it, bronze. The wax though can be used again and again. They receive the bronze in large sticks, which are then melted and poured into the shell. The bronze should then fit down into the perfect lines that were earlier created on the wax figure. My purpose in going this particular day was to see the progress that was being made on the statue of Woody Hayes, Ohio State University football coach for many years. The Newcomerstown Historical Society has funded this project since Woody grew up in Newcomerstown while his dad was Superintendent of Schools there. Woody also coached in Mingo Junction and New Philadelphia before going to OSU. During this visit, the head of Woody Hayes was hanging in the room, ready to be examined for any tiny imperfections.

process. But now there will be a head, pieces of arms, legs, and body – all will be in bronze. Now comes the assembly. It’s like putting a big puzzle together! Each piece is carefully attached to the place where it belongs with bronze welding rods. The weld has to be sandblasted so the connection is no longer visible. Even then, it’s not finished as there has to be a solution applied to the bronze to make it the correct shade required for that particular statue. Now you can see why it takes months to get a bronze statue from beginning to end. Alan Cottrill has designed statues all over the United States and the world. We’re lucky to have one in Cambridge of Hopalong Cassidy, and now one in Newcomerstown of Woody Hayes. Watching the artisans at Coopermill Bronze Works felt quite magical.

Food fans need not be experts in the kitchen to enjoy their favorite desserts in the comforts of home. The following recipe for “Luscious Créme Brûlée” from Lori Longbotham’s “Luscious Creamy Desserts” (Chronicle Books) is a restaurant-quality dessert that’s simple to prepare and just as decadent as desserts you many find on the menus of your favorite restaurants.

Luscious Créme Brûlée

Ingredients: 2 cups heavy whipping cream 1 cup half-and-half 6 large egg yolks 3⁄4 cup sugar Pinch of salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Have ready a flame-proof 1-quart shallow baking or gratin dish and a roasting pan. Put on a kettle of water to boil for the water bath. 2. Heat the cream and half-and-half in a medium saucepan over medium heat until hot. Remove from the heat. 3. Whisk together the yolks, 1⁄2 cup of the sugar, and the salt in a medium bowl. Slowly add the cream mixture, whisking constantly until blended and smooth. Add the vanilla. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer set over a medium glass measuring cup or bowl. 4.

baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. Do not overbake — the custard will set further as it cools. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let cool completely on a wire rack. 5. Refrigerate the créme brûlée, loosely covered, for at least 4 hours, until thoroughly chilled and set, or for up to 1 day. 6. Preheat the broiler. Have the roasting pan ready, and fill a bowl with ice water. Gently blot the surface of the custard with the edge of a paper towel to remove any condensation. Sift the remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar evenly over the custard. Place the baking dish in the roasting pan and carefully pour enough ice water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. 7. Broil the custard about 3 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sugar has melted and turned a dark amber color; carefully move or rotate the dish if necessary so the sugar caramelizes evenly. Remove from the broiler and cool the custard in the ice water for 5 minutes. 8. Carefully remove the baking dish from the baking pan. Serve right away, or refrigerate, uncovered, for no longer than 1 hour before serving — or the topping will soften.

RECIPES Scones make an ideal companion to a morning cup of coffee or tea. Simple and delicious, this recipe for “Maple Pecan Scones” from Linda Collister’s “Quick Breads” (Ryland, Peters & Small) is ideal for scone lovers who want something quick to make in the morning.

Maple Pecan Scones

Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking powder A good pinch of salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes 1 cup pecan pieces 1 extra-large egg 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup About 3 tablespoons milk 1 greased baking sheet

Directions: Preheat the oven to 425 F. 1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it in with the tips of your fingers until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Mix in the pecans. 2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of the milk. Stir into the flour mixture with a round-bladed knife to make a soft, coarse-looking dough. If the dough is dry and crumbly and won’t stick together, stir in more milk 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is very wet and sticky, work in another tablespoon of flour. 3. Tip out the dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour and gently work it with your hands for a few seconds so it looks smoother. Put the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Dip your fingers in flour and pat out the dough to a round about 11⁄4 inches thick and 7 inches across. Using a knife, cut the round into 6 wedges, but do not separate the dough before baking.

Road trips also tend to be more affordable than longer getaways. If you have the benefit of a tow hitch and a camper, you already have your accommodations. But even if you still need lodging, there are several budget motels that can fit the bill for overnight lodging along your route. Here are some other road trip tips. * Before embarking, take out a map and plan your excursion. Stick to locations that are within reasonable driving distance from home. If you roam too far, you will spend more time behind the wheel than you will enjoying your destination. Locations no more than five to six hours away should suffice. * Get your vehicle in road trip shape by ensuring it is in good working condition. If your car is scheduled for an oil change, get one before leaving. In addition, top off fluids and be sure that tires are properly inflated. * Stick to the scenic routes. While they may not save you travel time, avoiding interstates in favor of picturesque backroads will make for a much more relaxing and visually inspiring trip. Schedule rest stops so you can get out of the car and explore along the way to your destination. Taking backroads may also help you avoid some of your fellow weekend travelers. * Make your long weekend a Saturday through Monday affair. You may find the roads are more congested Friday through Sunday. Simply starting your trip on Saturday and returning on Monday could save you the headache of driving in heavy traffic. * Scope out low-cost activities at your destination. Many national parks are inexpensive and may only charge one fee per vehicle to enter. After Labor Day, many beaches no longer charge entry fees, making them an affordable option. Take advantage of cooler temperatures and picturesque scenery by planning an autumn weekend road trip.

Why clean air filters are

I M P O R TA N T

Vehicle owners likely k now to check fluid levels and get their cars’ oil changed, but air filters may not be at the top of their maintenance check lists. Despite being a relatively inexpensive par t, air filters often go overlooked. Air filters have an impor tant job in a vehicle, prolonging the life span of engines and helping cars run more smoothly and efficiently. Purpose of vehicle air filters

Vehicle combustion engines operate with a mixture of fuel and air. Without oxygen, gasoline or diesel fuels cannot burn properly and power the engine. The air filter’s job is to prevent dirt, dust and other debris from being sucked into an engine. Otherwise, grime can build up and impede engine performance or cause erosion of parts under the hood. It is much more cost-effective to routinely change air filters than replace expensive engine parts. Rather than ignoring air filters until the last minute, drivers can take steps to keep filters clean and functioning at peak performance. • Improve fuel efficiency. Clogged air filters reduce air flow to engines, resulting in an improper ratio of air to fuel. As a result, spark plugs can be negatively affected and the engine may idle roughly or misfire. These scenarios can greatly affect fuel efficiency as well as cause engine deposits from rich fuel. To save money and trips to the fuel pump, replace filters regularly. According to GearHeads, for older cars, studies have indicated that by replacing a dirty air filter, one can improve gas mileage by as much as 14 percent.

• Reduce stress on the engine. Because of the air-to-fuel mix in engines, even a mixture that is slightly off balance can affect what is going on under the hood. That means the engine must work harder to get enough clean air into the chamber to complete the combustion cycle, says the Automotive Training Center. • Enjoy more power. A filter that is saturated with dirt will restrict air flow. In such instances, drivers may notice a lack of power during acceleration. Replacing the filter can easily restore that pep. • Reduce vehicle emissions. Environmental concerns are a priority for many people. By keeping the engine working properly, with the advantage of clean, unobstructed air entering the chamber, a vehicle may produce lower emissions. Replacing air filters is an easy fix that many drivers can do themselves, or ask their mechanics to do during oil changes or other repair shop visits.

THE AMAZING COLOR

SANBORN MAPS “ Th e L i b ra r y o f Co n g re s s h a s p l a ced online nearly 25,000 S anborn Fire Insurance M a p s, w h i c h d e p i c t t h e s t r u c t u re and use of buildings in U.S. cities and towns.” — Librar y of Congress announcement May 25, 2018

The Library of Congress has recently done something wonderful. The Library digitized nearly 25,000 largesheet Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps created in the 1800s, detailing the location, dimensions, construction, and use of buildings in thousands of towns throughout America, Story by RICK BOOTH including 275 towns in Ohio alone. They were originally created for sale at hefty prices to fire insurance companies, so they could more easily and accurately assess fire risks for individual buildings without sending out on-site inspectors every time a business or individual applied for fire insurance. The maps are online now, free to view and download without any known copyright encumbrance. They amount to a historian’s dream!

A Newcomerstown scene: S olved by S anborns! The Sanborn maps are unlike any others – excruciatingly detailed records of city areas as they were well over a hundred years ago. When matched against other text and photographic historical records – and dosed with a bit of visual imagination – they virtually bring towns and neighborhoods to life. I first wrote an article about these maps in 2016, when the only versions available online were somewhat grainy black-and-white scans available at https://www.oplin. ohio.gov/content/sanborn-maps for Ohio residents.

Newcomerstown as it was over one hundred years ago.

Those maps were (and still are) very good, but the higher-resolution, color scans of the same maps now available online from the Library of Congress are far better. Areas that were hard to read in black and white, due to dark colors registering as black, are now clear and readable. What’s more, the maps are just plain pretty and fun to peruse. To illustrate the maps’ utility, the rest of this article demonstrates Sanborn map gleanings from towns in not only Guernsey County, but all six of its surrounding counties as well.

Tu s c a rawa s Co u nt y About two years ago, I scanned a beautiful slice-oflife glass negative photo believed to have been taken in Newcomerstown in the 1890s. It showed shops,

LOOKING BACK

Newcomerstown shops 1890s

sidewalk vendors, many people going about their daily town business, and even bales of barbed wire no doubt set out for sale. Three stores in a row were labeled “GROCERIES,” “MEAT MARKET,” and “BAKERY.” The grocery was in a two-story brick building at a street corner. The other shops were smaller, and appeared not to be made of brick. But where, exactly, were they in Newcomerstown? Were any of the buildings still there? It was a mystery… until the color Sanborns came out!

Fou nd: The 1895 S anborn 3- store per fec t match. A quick search of the Sanborns showed only one place in Newcomerstown, 1895, that matched the pictured store triad, and the match was perfect. The angles were right. The two-story brick construction of the grocery was right. Even the narrow gap between the bakery and the building to its left – revealed by the map to be a restaurant – was right. It’s the southeast corner of Canal and River Streets in Newcomerstown. Sad to say, there is no vestige left of any of the buildings in the picture. Wiped away by time, today there is a used car lot in their place. But thanks to the maps, we know where to place their memory. On the slightly good news front, though, the maps reveal that the photographer had been located in front of an “agricultural implements” store at the northwest corner of the intersection. That was apparently the store selling the barbed wire. Happily, it’s still there: the grand old Eureka-Orme Hardware Store, still in more or less the same business it was in 123 years ago.

Newcomerstown today.

R e v i s i te d : Th e Ne wco m e r s tow n s ce n e to d ay. M u s ki n g u m Co u nt y Sanborn maps usually come in multi-sheet sets, mapping towns at a typical resolution of 50 feet to the inch. The first map of a numbered set generally contains a master map, showing the locations of all the other sheets. Zanesville’s 1895 map set required 60 sheets, up from 23 sheets in 1889 and 19 sheets in 1886. The Sanborn Map Company revisited most of its 13,000 American cities roughly once every five to ten years from the 1880s through about the 1940s. The last of the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were made in the 1970s.

H a r r i s o n Co u nt y Generally speaking, brick buildings from the 1800s are more likely to have survived for more than a century than wood frame buildings of the same age. In 1897 in Cadiz, the Sanborn maps show a complete block of brick buildings opposite the courthouse square, across Main Street. In 1897, they housed a bank, a drug store, a jeweler, two dry goods stores, two groceries, a clothing store, a shoe store, and a ladies’ millinery (fancy hats, etc.) store – all in just one block. Around the corners were a meat market, a general store, and a private home. So much information! Among others, MAPS continues on pg 18

It went from a single the old bank, drug, and jewelry store buildings are still mapping sheet in 1885 to needing three sheets by 1899. there today. Other map revisions were made in 1890 and 1895.

Coshoc ton Count y The restored Roscoe Village canal town, adjacent to Coshocton, was first mapped by Sanborn in 1884. Back then, the Ohio and Erie Canal closely paralleled the village’s main street just a few dozen feet away. Despite decades of withering competition from the railroads, the canal was still in use in 1884, and remained in use until the great Ohio flood of 1913 destroyed so much of its infrastructure that it had to be shut down. Many of the buildings shown on the old Sanborn maps of Roscoe are still there, in addition to things that have vanished, like the covered bridge crossing the canal at the foot of Hill Street, or the “salt shed” near its intersection with Whitewoman Street.

I happened to notice a large building in Caldwell in 1885 marked “Skating Rink.” Skating rink!? In 1885? In Caldwell? That called for a quick check of historical newspapers from that era regarding skating rinks in those days. Sure enough, there was a roller skating craze that swept America in the mid-1880s. Small rural cities vied with each other for respectability and bragging rights back then, based on whether or not they had a skating rink. Ice skating had long been a popular winter pastime, and the first actual ice skating rinks had appeared in

LOOKING BACK

M a p n o te s o n B a r n e s v i l l e’s m i n i n g c a r co m p a ny. Barnesville was once the home of the Watt Mining Car Wheel Company, the largest manufacturer of mine cars in the world. It thrived on the coal industry of Appalachia. Map notes about the Watt plant describe pumps, pails, lengths of fire hose, and the 180-foot distance to the nearest pond. Coal was used for both stove and steam heat. And somewhat surprisingly, they used gasoline lights, which sounds a bit dangerous.

Th e m a i n Wat t f a c to r y b u i l di n g.

Caldwell

England as long ago as the 1840s. Queen Victoria ice skated with Prince Albert back in the day. But the manufacture of roller skates made skating rinks for the average American possible, so.. why not! As with most red-hot fads, the skating craze passed within just a few years. Caldwell’s skating rink of 1885, located on the north side of North Street, just west of East Street, became a livery stable for horses by 1890. Curiously, it had vanished entirely by 1895, perhaps the victim of fire or of built-in-haste impermanent construction associated with the need to get a skating rink built quick. In the twentieth century, the black-andwhite Sanborn maps available online indicate a small home occupied part of the lot by 1905 and disappeared sometime after the 1940s. Today it is again an empty lot.

B elmont Count y The old Sanborn maps are particularly useful for studying old businesses and, especially, factories. To document fire risk, the maps needed to note the nature of machinery and types of fuel used, as well as proximity of water sources for putting fires out. Dangerous materials were commented upon.

The main Watt factory building was also well illustrated. Coal storage areas and a water tank were shown, as well as a large industrial elevator. An engine in the plant was rated at 120 horsepower. Small, cryptic notations noted windows and roof construction. A section marked “office” was not far from the area marked “forges.” The insurance companies wanted to learn as much as possible about fire risks from the maps. MAPS continues on pg 20

Guernsey Count y One of the most interesting mapped locations in Guernsey County is the old railroad maintenance shops once used by the Cleveland and Marietta Railroad (later the Pennsylvania Railroad). Established in the 1870s, they are entirely gone now. But we know where they were.

The train maintenance shops at Cambridge, 1897. At the southern end of the maintenance complex was a seven-bay roundhouse with turntable, on which many an old steam engine rotated in and out of a service area. It’s all gone today, but thanks to a picture taken by local historian Dave Adair in the 1990s, we know where it was.

“I VALUE HOMEMADE OBJECTS CREATED FROM MATERIALS THAT ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FROM WHICH THEY ARE GROWN”

illow Baskets and Pottery. Those are the two main features at the Rosehill Farm in Roseville where Howard Peller and Maddy Fraioli ignite their creative flames. Howard enjoys working with things of nature. “I value homemade objects created from materials that are closely related to the natural environment from which they are grown.” That’s the main reason he surrounds himself with a willow grove on his farm in Roseville. His goal is to use the willows he grows to make useful and practical products that people can use every day. You’ll be surprised at the things that can be woven from the willow reeds. From his willow grove, he wants visitors to see the connection between the willow farmer and the artisan who creates finely crafted baskets as well as live willow structures. He appreciates the value of simple hard work. Howard is no stranger to the creative process as has designed artisan made tabletop, home decor, and personal accessory products. He co-founded a national ceramic tableware company Fioriware Pottery with his partner, Maddy Fraioli. As Longaberger VP, he founded their Design Center to develop new concepts in weaving. During time in Europe, Howard studied with master weavers and learned how to weave with willows. In Lichtenfels, Germany, he attended a basket school where he developed an appreciation of the natural properties of the traditional willow basket. He spent time in Haiti and Jamaica where he could easily walk out of the village and gather bamboo. Eventually, he put all these ideas together and came up

with his own techniques. On his 140-acre farm, he has a willow grove of 5000 willow plants in 100 different varieties. He enjoys watching them develop with their beautiful colors, texture, tensile strength, smell and their magical properties of intensive growth. The amazing willow plant has qualities you wouldn’t expect. It’s a medical source for salicin, which was used before aspirin. Therefore, the bark of the willow can be used to make tea, which is good for headaches, fevers, arthritis, and even a great mouthwash. Each year the plants are cut at the proper season near their base so they can regenerate. Then the willow reeds are dried for two years downstairs in the barn. Bundles of willows are sent around the world for baskets, furniture and even ancient boat building. Home gardeners will find many uses for the willow reed. This living plant can be erected for backdrops, walkthroughs, around gazebos and even made into furniture. One interesting quality is that it can be trimmed, morphed and enjoyed for multiple seasons. Howard gives workshops at the farm or they can be arranged for your organization so you can learn to put these ideas to practical use at your home or business. The possibilities for their use seem endless. Howard

He has even created natural playgrounds using the willow for tunnels, domes, and walkways. Styles of the baskets alone are amazing and too numerous to list them all. Some that caught my eye were: large shoulder bags, bread basket, deep bowl baskets and fruit baskets. His basketmaking creates a relationship between the field crop and the hands of the maker, who transforms the willow reeds into products to be used in the home or to collect and transport objects.

They will be having an Open House this fall, Nov. 10 and 11, when you can enjoy all this beauty. Check their website as www.basketfarmer.com for further information.
