Holmes County Temple of Justice Holmes County Temple of Justice as it appeared in 1886, built entirely of local quarried sandstone and at a total cost of $10,955. Windows and wrought iron fencing once graced the corner towers, as well as an ornamental spire on the clock tower. All were victims of
past renovations and the scrap iron drive during WWII. The Goddess of Justice originally stood on the upper front roof. Most recently, a major landscaping project was completed on the grounds providing an attractive public space and seating areas.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Arrival of the Baltic The Peace Treaty Signed
New York, April 17—By the arrival of the Baltic we have four days later intelligence from Europe. The chief point of the news is the conclusion of the treaty of peace. It was signed at Paris on Sunday, March 30,1856. There are no tidings of the Pacific. The Atlantic had arrived out at Liverpool. Peace was proclaimed on the 2d last and caused universal joy. The Baltic is at anchor outside the harbor. Her papers arrived at half past 11 o’clock, without previous announcement. The treaty of peace was signed by all the Plenipotentiaries on Sunday March 30th. There were great demonstrations in Paris: firing of canon, illuminations, etc. The English demonstrations were much more quiet. The ratification cannot be exchanged within four weeks.

Early Newspapers in America In great[sic.] Britain there is what are called the three Estates of the Realm—King, Lords, and Commons, the whole governing power. To them have been added another—the Press, which has been dubbed the fourth estate.. The estates of the realm have a positive power, while the press may be called the fashioning power, inasmuch as intelligence, reason and public sentiment control to a great extent the whole machinery of government—
2 | Now & Then
giving it impetus, or paralyzing its motions, or altogether nullifying its operations; causing repeal sometimes, and not unfrequently [sic] rendering laws obsolete. In the United States, when compared with other countries, the press is preeminently free, independent, and powerful. – The fourth estate may be said to be paramount to all others—an encouraging voice, wholesome check, and a terror to all evil doers—condemning and setting aside more incompetency and dishonesty than any other plenary court. The growth of the newspaper press in the United States is deeply allied with the spirit and progress that initialized and marked our development and growth as a nation, and …..

The Thin Man:
How I Learned to Love
Nick & Nora Charles by Randy Wilson
L
Now & TheN Contributor
ong before McMillan and Wife and Hart to Hart graced the TV airwaves, William Powell and Myrna Loy ruled the roost at Metro-Goldwyn -Mayer Studios with a series of movies based on the Dashiell Hammett detective novel, The Thin Man.
N
ick and Nora Charles were the ultimate screen couple, husband and wife detectives, always in step and never missing an opportunity to outwit one another as they solved each crime, which they did just in time for the movie’s ending. Myrna Loy was a fantastic Nora, the ideal wife and considering she made 14 movies with William Powell, she made it look like they were really married… really! The Thin Man movies, all six of them, played like very sophisticated screwball comedies more than murder mysteries and their comic banter enhanced the proceedings, made even funnier because they were always drinking. Martinis were everywhere, morning, noon and night, and in one favorite scene from the original movie, Nora says to Nick, “Is that my drink over there?” Nick asks, “What are you drinking?” When Nora answers, “Rye,” Nick swigs it down and says, “Yes, it was yours.” Their little wire-haired terrier, Asta, quite often stole the
4 | Now & Then
scene as he helped sleuth out the guilty party. He was a great little actor and rumor had it that away from the Thin Man movies, Asta was really Skippy. However, the six Thin Man movies credit this cute pooch as “Asta.” Although each movie succeeded in rooting out the murderer in similar fashion, all six of the movies were very different. The overall production value of these slick little comic mysteries varied from movie to movie, but they looked real good, and the first of the series, The Thin Man, was actually nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture of 1934. The second movie from 1936, After the Thin Man was also nominated for an Academy Award, for Best Screenplay. The most popular consensus says the first movie is the best one of the six but every movie in The Thin Man series has so much to offer, it’s difficult choosing one over another. Dashiell Hammett’s 1932 detective novel, The Thin Man, was a best-seller that had nearly every major Hollywood studio competing for the movie rights. The idea of a crime thriller combined with high comedy provided to be box-office honey to a public tired of lurid whodunits. Also, in casting the leads, MGM created one of the screen’s most popular acting teams: William Powell, Myrna Loy and Asta, the faithful terrier.
The plot unfolds at Christmas, when an eccentric inventor disappears after threatening his mistress with a lawsuit for embezzlement. Understandably concerned, his betrothed daughter (Maureen O’Sullivan) begs private eye Nick Charles to get to the bottom of the case. It doesn’t take him long to find that there is something rotten in the state of New York. Nick and Nora, those wisecracking darlings of society, will keep you in suspense—and in stitches as they mix martinis and marriage—with murder in The Thin Man (1934). Back in the golden age of movies when suave detective Nick Charles and his wife Nora became entangled in a murder, suspense and laughter were never far behind. Here they are again exchanging clues and quips in 1936’s After The Thin Man. This time the murder takes place among Nora’s own blue-blooded relatives on posh Nob Hill in San Francisco. When Nora’s cousin is accused of killing her worthless husband, Nick must leap into the case to find the real culprit. Naturally his ever loving Nora and their frisky dog Asta are on hand to help. Before he can unravel the mystery, there are two more murders and the debonair couple is deep in danger—but with a lot of hearty laughs along the way. Watch for a very young Jimmy Stewart in a supporting role in this surprise-filled blend of mirth and mystery. The third film in the incredibly popular Thin Man series Another Thin Man (1939) reteams the original cast members and adds a new member to the Charles family, little Nicky, Jr. An innocent family vacation on Long Island doesn’t stay innocent for long, as Nick barely unpacks his flask before bodies start to drop! The total reaches three, and Nick and Nora are soon hot on the murderer’s trail. The plot climbs to its suspenseful and hilarious climax when Nick gathers the suspects and reconstructs the crime while nonchalantly sipping a highball and flirting with Nora! The movie will keep you laughing and guessing right up to the surprise ending. It’s murder again, of course! Can Nick and Nora solve a racetrack murder? Bet on it in Shadow of the Thin Man (1941). “One thing about a murder case,” says Nick Charles to a room crammed with suspects, “If you let people talk long enough, sooner or later someone will spill the beans. Well, someone just has!” And he points to…the last person you’d ever suspect, unless you’ve been paying close attention. In this breezy outing, Nick and Nora get involved with jockeys and gamblers and characters with names like Rainbow Benny. There’s a body in the shower, another hanging from the chandelier and a diamond brace-
let in the radiator. Asta, the terrier, causes a full-scale brawl in a restaurant. But the biggest surprise comes when Nick Jr. forces his martini-soaked father to drink a glass of milk, as mad Louise Beavers watches, bug-eyed. The Thin Man Goes Home (1944), the fifth in the series, is a “wry” crime cocktail with a twist…or two! Nick and Nora drop by Sycamore Springs to see his parents, and a mystery man drops dead on the front porch. Well, of course Nick must solve the murder—or fail in the eyes of his father! Determined, Nick gathers the many suspects—all of them supposedly upstanding citizens of the friendly little town. But when he starts pointing fingers—at seducers, traitors, murderers—his father protests, “You can’t talk about these people this way!” And Nick’s mother toddles off to make hot cocoa for everyone. This case may be tougher than Nick anticipated…but it’s certainly one of his most delightful. This film is especially notable for the many great MGM character actors in it from motherly Lucile Watson to Mike Mazurki to Donald Meek, the most nervous man on earth. If you don’t know their names, you’ll recognize their faces. A little music…a little murder…a lot of fun is Song of the Thin Man (1947), the sixth and last in the series. Start with a contemporary 40’s jazz score with a splash of Manhattan high life. Give Nick and Nora a dandy mystery to unravel. Top it off with an unhealthy blend of high-rollers, low-lifes and help-cats, then sit back and enjoy the suspense—and the laughs. When the bandleader on an elegant gambling ship is murdered, the police have the alleged killer locked up within 24 hours. But then Nick and Nora Charles start to investigate, and new suspects start adding up like a bar tab. Was it the casino owner—the one left holding the bag? Or the soulful chanteuse whom he had jilted? Or maybe it was the musician he had so publicly and humiliating fired. In this last film of the Thin Man series, Powell and Loy retired as the undefeated darlings of romantic suspense. If you haven’t yet experienced seeing these two cinema legends work their magic, watch the entire series and join the fun. You’ll be glad you did!

Get Away Tours:
Travel Business a Joy
Marilyn Lint got into the business by accident, she says, but her life is lived now not by accident, but by taking advantage of the moment, for “you never know what tomorrow brings.” The company motto reflects this: “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape.” Now into her nineteenth year in business, she coordinates dozens of trips each year and is able to lead ten to fifteen in person. It all began when she became a widow and started the Widows, Widowers and Friends Club 27 years ago. She asked the group what they wanted to do, and they wanted to travel. So she started doing tours for 130 members between the ages of fifty and seventy. In 2000, she remarried so she was no longer part of the group, but its members and friends of members kept asking for tours, so she started her own business to cater to the demand. For trips in the United States, either she or another escort take groups on trips. These people are “just ready to go.” They want a noworry travel. “Seniors don’t necessarily want to drive in large cities,” says Marilyn, “and they certainly don’t want to concern themselves with parking situations.” Some popular city shows are Miss Saigon, Cinderella, and A Bronx
8 | Now & Then
Tale. And the biblical shows in Lancaster County are always a hit. Attendees travel by bus and are picked up at locations in Massillon, Wooster, and Ashland. Sometimes bus trips are planned for the Star Theater and Amish Theater in local Amish country as well. Motorcoach transportation is provided to well-liked destinations such as New Orleans, Miami/Key West, Mount Rushmore and Nashville. There are scenic train trips to Montana, where sightseers then go by bus to four national parks. The meals on the train are quality food and served in style. The bus takes the travellers right to the doorstops of attractions. Everything is convenient and easy. International tours are a bit more complicated, but Marilyn takes out the hassle for her customers by arranging transportation to the airport, a welcome on the other end, and a professional tour guide for the duration of the stay. Some trips that are coming up include Australia and New Zealand, and some people have recently returned from the Panama Canal and Malta and Sicily. When asked where her favorite places have been to visit, Marilyn’s smile gets wide as she unhesitantly clicks off Australia and New Zealand, Hawaii, and Alaska. She says she has gotten to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, has been to Hawaii five times and Alaska nine. She once took her own motorhome to Alaska; it was a six-week trip, she exclaimed. She’s also been to the Galapagos Islands and to Machu Picchu (in the Andes in Peru), where she explored the mysteries of a lost civilization. “You learn so much when you experience it first hand,” explained Marilyn. “It’s much more powerful than a mere book.” “A fascinating history is uncovered when travelling to Miami and Key West,” adds Marilyn.” A man named Henry Flagler moved first to Jacksonsville and set up a hotel where many of his rich friends from the north visited, ultimately establishing an exclusive enclave in Miami. Flagler was also instrumental in building a railroad from Jacksonville to Miami to Key West. On the business side, Marilyn explained that there are a lot of details which need attended. These include taking deposits and tracking them. She sends out a newsletter several times a year to a mailing list of 4500. She also has a side embroidery business that caters to corporate customers. Her assistant Peggy Hodge has been with her for 27 years. In her spare time, she enjoys dancing one to two times per week and loves music. She also collects lighthouses, one of which sits prominently on her front yard. “A light is something warm to come home to,” she says.

Local Feature
Shreve, Ohio:
Rustic & Engaging by Doris Sigg Now & TheN
The Village of Shreve, Ohio, had its beginning with the coming of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1853. A small settlement had been started south of Shreve, which is now known as Centerville, but in the early days was known as Stuckeytown, having been named for Stuckey Robinson. The name was changed to Centerville in 1850. Centerville was later renamed Shreve, and was incorporated as a village on December 26, 1859. According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.9 square miles (2.2 km²), all of it land. It is, however, drained by Shreve Creek, a tributary to the Killbuck Creek. The Killbuck Marsh, locally known as Shreve Swamp, is located outside of the Village limits and part of the Killbuck Creek watershed. The population was 1,514 at the 2010 census. Shreve enjoys the traditions of longtime businesses and has a couple of new businesses to explore. Here’s a mini-tour of some of the attractions. Expedition Resale, located at 157 N. Market Street, is a brand new thrift shop that offers options to buy, sell, trade and consign on a wide variety of items . Owners Cory and Becky Zemrock offer everything from tools to jewelry to vintage signage to glass and porcelain collectibles. They travel, with an adventurous spirit, to various venues to pick out stuff, and now they are asking customers what ‘stuff” they want. Owner Cory Zemrock expects the offerings in the store to change significantly over the coming months, as he learns the interests of his customers. While I was visiting, a man came in looking for a large meat grinder. Another customer made off with a motorcycle helmet, a bag of miniature car collectibles, a bag of miniature dolls, and a
10 | Now & Then
small owl statue. You can get more information by calling 419930-8266 or by checking out their Facebook page. After a visit to Expedition, you might be ready for a warm cup of coffee at the newly-opened He Brews coffee shop, also located on Market (104 South), just opened in August. This shop has a stated vision to be a warm, inviting place with a sweet aroma of community where we gather to relax and add flavor to our lives. … “A place that invites God’s presence through a spirit of worship and love.” Owner Patty Visocky, who runs the operations along with her husband Chuck, says that a spontaneous four and a half hour visit by one woman one morning and participation of another woman in game night on New Year’s Eve are testament that it is truly becoming a gathering place. The store originated from a family member’s urging. “We need a place [in Shreve] for people to gather to worship that isn’t a church,” he said. Your senses will be pleased, whether you want to enjoy the wide range of coffees or baked goods or light cooking fare. Coffees include lattes, mochas (hot or cold) and macchiatos (espresso with a dash of frothy steamed milk). Also on the menu are cappuccinos, espressos, red eyes and café Americanos. Cold drinks run the gamut from ice tea, smoothies, frappes, milk shakes, and affogatos (an Italian coffee-based dessert consisting of a scoop of ice cream drowned with a shot of hot espresso). Baked goods include muffins, brownies and cheesecake, and if you’re wanting something “un”-sweet, you can choose between sausage gravy, stuffed jalapenos, sausage caprese bites, a hummus, vegetable and olive plate, Panini, and soup. He Brews hours are Mondays 6–8, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 6 – 4, Thursdays and Fridays 6 – 8 and Saturdays 8 – 8. Entertainment
can be previewed on their website (http://shrevehebrews.com) and includes both worship gatherings and inspirational music, open mic nites and game nights. To get back to the practical, your next stop in Shreve could be the Shreve Hardware and Supply at 138 N. Market. A classic, old-fashioned hardware store in business since 1959, it offers a wide variety of services and supplies. Services cover the gamut from glass and screen repair, key cutting, chain sharpening and blade sharpening, even small engine repair. “We do a lot of special orders,” says owner Rich Edington. “And products are classified (A) most popular, (B) next most popular; we have a lot of (C)’s and (D)’s.”The website lists their departments: outdoor living, lawn & garden, tools, storage and organization, automobile, RV & marine, building supplies, hardware, heating & cooling, home & décor, lighting & electronics, paint & supplies, plumbing, and winter essentials. “Plumbing and Electrical are our busiest service points, however,” says Edington. “We also offer flooring products, including installation.” Product lines are extensive: Black & Decker, Craftsman, Rubbermaid, Scotts, Traeger,Weber, YCTI, Clark & Kensington, DEWALT, STIHL, Tora, Valspor and Werner.

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 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.
Car Tips
Safely Avoid Potential Winter Hazards T
he U.S. Department of Transportation says weather-related vehicle crashes killed 6,253 people last year and injure more than 480,000 per year. These accidents most often occur when roadways are wet, snowy or icy. Yet, winter driving is not the only seasonal hazard. Here are some common winter activities and how to avoid getting hurt when engaging in them. Driving Exercise extra caution when driving on roadways during the winter, as they may contain ice or snow. All it takes is a small coating of precipitation on roadways to make driving treacherous. Wet-looking roadways may be wet, or they may be covered by ice, and it’s difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye. Always slow down and assume you are driving on ice. Make every effort to improve visibility. This includes checking windshield washer fluid levels and ensuring windshield blades are in good working order. Snow removal Shoveling or removing snow by various methods can be strenuous work, taking even those who feel they are in good shape by surprise. A 2011 study conducted by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital found that an average of 11,500 snowshoveling-related injuries and medical emergencies were treated in U.S. emergency departments each year from 1990 to 2006. Lower back injuries, falls, injuries to the arms and hands and
cardiac-related injuries account for many of the incidents sustained while removing snow. There’s also the risk of injury from collisions with pedestrians and snow plows. Plows and bobcat-type devices can cause serious injury. Exercise caution when operating such machines. Roof snow removal Removing snow from a roof can be a dangerous prospect. Always use the appropriate equipment, which includes telescoping poles, rather than climbing on slippery roofs. This may be a job best left for a professional, who will have fall-arrest systems and nonslip safety boots. Dressing for conditions Venturing outdoors for winter fun may be enticing, but never put your health at risk for the sake of fun. The Mayo Clinic says hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent hypothermia, which may not produce any initial symptoms. If shivering stops or confusion and slurred speech set in, severe hypothermia is in effect and a person should be moved indoors and gently warmed. Mild hypothermia is also possible indoors, typically when the elderly spend several hours in poorly heated homes. Winter may be beautiful, but it also can be hazardous. Taking precautions and using common sense help avoid dangerous situations.

Recipes Winter weather can be relentless and make it challenging to stay warm and dry. After a session of shoveling snow or braving the great outdoors, a meal that can quickly warm the core is fitting — especially if that meal can serve double-duty by evoking feelings of a warm climate. Popular throughout the Caribbean, this recipe for “Fish and Sweet Potato Soup” from “The Complete Mexican, South American & Caribbean Cookbook” (Metro Books) by Jane Milton, Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli, matches the subtle sweetness of sweet potato and the stronger infusion of flavors from fish and oregano to make for a warm and appetizing soup. Fish and Sweet Potato Soup
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Directions:
6 ounces white fish fillet, skinned
1. Remove any bones from the fish and put it in a pot. Add the onion, sweet potato, carrot, oregano, cinnamon, and half of the stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
½ onion, chopped 1 sweet potato, about 6 ounces, peeled and diced 1 small carrot, about 2 ounces, chopped 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or ½ teaspoon dried ½ teaspoon cinnamon 5½ cups fish stock 5 tablespoons light cream Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
16 | Now & Then
2. Leave to cool, then pour into a food processor, and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot, stir in the remaining fish stock, and gently bring to a boil. Reduce the heat. 3. Stir the cream into the soup, then gently heat it through without boiling. If the soup boils, the cream will curdle. Serve hot, garnished with the chopped parsley.
Recipes At the start of a new year, many people resolve to get in shape and lose weight. Diet and exercise have long been the ideal recipe for shedding pounds. In order to do so, a person must create a calorie deficit, which occurs when a person burns more calories than he or she consumes. Healthy, low-fat and lowcalorie foods can help people create a calorie deficit. This recipe for “Smoked Haddock on a Nest of Potatoes” from Sue Kreitzman’s “Low Fat for Life Cookbook” (DK) checks in at just 221 calories per serving with 2 grams of total fat, making it a great choice for those who want something light and healthy. Smoked Haddock on a Nest of Potatoes
Ingredients: ½ pound potatoes, scrubbed but unpeeled 2 pinches paprika Oil water spray (see below) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 pieces smoked haddock, each about 5 oz, skinned and bones removed Bunch of watercress to garnish
Directions: 1. Slice the potatoes paper-thin. Using the slicer on the side of a grater is the best way to get fine slices. Put into a colander and rinse well, then drain and dry in a dish towel. Toss the slices with a pinch of the paprika and a spritz of oil-water spray. 2. Spray a baking sheet and spread the slices out. Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes, then stir them, spread out again, and bake for about 5 minutes
Serves: 2 more, until tender and browned. They should be crisp in patches. 3. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika and a grinding of pepper over the fish. Lightly salt the potatoes and arrange in two piles on the baking sheet. Place a piece of fish over each pile of potatoes. 4. Bake for about 7 minutes at 475 F, until just done. Garnish with watercress and serve with sautéed mushrooms alongside, if desired.
Oil-Water Spray 1. Fill a new, clean plant mister or small plastic spray bottle with 7⁄8 water and 1⁄8 desired oil. Give the bottle a good shake before using it to spray food or pots and pans. This oil-water spray cuts down on calories and makes for low-fat cooking.

Recognize the signs of
hypothermia Hypothermia is a risk any time of the year, but particularly when the weather grows chilly. Taking precautions to stay warm and dry, and knowing the signs of a drop in body temperature, can help individuals stay safe.
T
he arrival of cold weather provides opportunities to romp in the snow, ski the slopes or enjoy an afternoon ice skating on a frozen pond. But spending time outdoors in the cold or even in an indoor space that is not adequately warmed can result in a serious health condition known as hypothermia. Hypothermia is defined as a potentially dangerous decrease in body temperature that is usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold conditions. Outdoors enthusiasts’ risk for hypothermia increases as winter progresses and temperatures drop even further. However, hypothermia can occur other times of the year if the body is chilled. For example, hypothermia can occur when boats capsize and boaters are suddenly tossed into a body of water, or when hikers get caught in the rain during evening hikes. WebMD says normal body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C), and hypothermia begins when body temperature falls below 95 F (35 C). When the body reaches lower temperatures, this can affect the heart, nervous system and certain organs, advises The Mayo Clinic. If left untreated, hypothermia may lead to cardiac and respiratory arrest. Early symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, fast breathing, cold and pale skin, tiredness, confusion, and slurred speech. As body temperatures drop, shivering may stop and a person may faint. Hypothermia frequently develops when people are
18 | Now & Then
exposed to the cold without warm and dry clothing for protection. Hypothermia also may develop when people get wet or are caught unaware of changes in weather. Wind removes body heat effectively, and direct contact with cold surfaces also can bring on hypothermia more quickly. Infants and the elderly may be at a higher risk of hypothermia because their bodies aren’t attuned to regulating temperature. Older adults may suffer hypothermia, for example, after spending several hours in a house with no heat during a power outage. The Mayo Clinic adds that certain medical conditions affect the body’s ability to regulate body temperature, and certain medications may elevate risk as well. To prevent hypothermia, health experts advise remembering the acronym COLD: Cover, Overexertion, Layers, Dry. • Cover: Wear protective coverings, including mittens and hats, to prevent body heat from escaping through the extremities. • Overexertion: Avoid activities that cause sweating. Together, wet clothing and perspiration can cause the body to lose heat more quickly. • Layers: Loose-fitting, layered clothing can offer protection from the cold and wind. Wool, silk or polypropylene insulate more effectively than cotton. • Dry: Remaining as dry as possible is essential. This includes getting out of wet clothing promptly.

Things You May Not Know About
President Abraham Lincoln Each February, Americans celebrate the birthdays of two of the more influential presidents in United States history. Presidents Day is observed on or near the birthdate of America’s first president, George Washington. However, Presidents Day also celebrates the life of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States who was born on February 12. As millions of people prepare to celebrate the life of Abraham Lincoln, celebrants can consider the following interesting tidbits about this incredibly influential man, courtesy of Factslides, Constitution Daily and the History Channel. • Lincoln practiced law, but he did not have a formal law degree. He only had about 18 months of schooling in the field of law. • The president disliked being called “Abe.” He preferred being called by his last name instead. • Lincoln was an accomplished wrestler as a young man. His wrestling proclivity helped secure him a place in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. • Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, becoming the first elected president to be born outside of the original 13 states. • In addition to being a wrestler, a patent-holder and a president, Lincoln also was a licensed bartender. Before his presidency, he owned a business called the Berry and Lincoln General Store and Tavern in New Salem, Ill.
• Lincoln was an animal lover and was not known to actively hunt or fish. He had a dog named “Fido” and a cat named “Tabby.” • Paving the way for future beard-lovers, Lincoln was the first president with a beard. An 11-year-old girl named Grace Bedell convinced Lincoln to grow his whiskers in exchange for her brothers’ votes. • John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln’s assassin, was a famous actor who had a fan in Lincoln himself. The president actually was photographed with Booth during his second inauguration. Interestingly enough, a few months before Booth assassinated Lincoln, the president’s oldest son was saved from injury by John Wilkes Booth’s brother on a train platform in New Jersey. • Abraham Lincoln was supposed to attend Ford’s Theater with Ulysses S. Grant, but Grant cancelled at the last second. The life of Abraham Lincoln is justifiably celebrated every year. But that life is perhaps even more interesting than many celebrants may know.
