I take showers. I love standing there with the hot water flooding over me. I have to force myself to shut it off and stop wasting water. I love showers. But back when I was a kid we didn’t have a shower. We had a bathtub. I really don’t want to change back to taking baths but as I recall there were some distinct advantages to sitting in the tub. For one thing I could pretend it was a swimming pool and swim from one end to the other. Or I could imagine I was in a race or trying to escape from a marauding shark. Of course this was not something my mother condoned since I usually ended up with about half the water from the tub on the floor. But it was fun and that’s all I cared about. I also had lots of toys accompanying me at bath time. Once I got the toys in the tub there was hardly room for me. Naturally I had a lot of boats but I wasn’t satisfied with that and I nightly gathered up cars, Army men, cowboys, rubber balls and just about everything in my toy collection. I played in that bathtub until the water got cold or my mother told me to get out, which usually happened at about the same time. I distinctly remember also practicing for my

upcoming baptism at church. I don’t recall how old I was but I must have been pretty young. My family and I went to Immanuel Baptist Church in North Omaha and there they baptized the faithful by immersion just like they did in the Bible. There was a tank in the front of the church just for that purpose. So I used our bathtub to practice. I would sit in the tub filled as high as I could get it and then pretend to get baptized. I’d lay down in the water then sit up. I did this several times to be sure I had it right. I must have done it right because my real baptism went off without a hitch. So there are some advantages to taking a bath instead of a shower. You can play with toys and practice baptism. But in spite of that I think I’ll stick with showers.

That’s roughly the equivalent of a 12-ounce can of regular soda. “There’s no soda in my house,” said Druz, who isn’t a fan of artificial sweeteners either. “It’s prohibited.” Find a physical activity you enjoy. Experts often preach the importance of exercise. The key is to pick physical activity that you like. That way, you might even keep doing it. “It all depends on finding something that is repeatable and that is enjoyable,” ideally with a low risk of injury, Scheib said. At his center in Miami, for example, pool equipment allows people with problematic knees or backs to simulate a treadmill run in the water. Speaking at his Chicago office, Bonow nodded to the nearby escalators. “Take the stairs. Walk up the escalators,” he said. Get “a nice, brisk pace” going at least once a day. Bonow gives his bicycle a workout during warm weather and hops on a stationary bike in winter. Druz’s family takes bike rides together and goes for walks with the dog. Her three children are all active – they play tennis, volleyball and basketball and run track. Sometimes her daughter comes with her to zumba class. “They have internalized already

that this is the routine,” she said, “that it’s part of health maintenance.” It’s all about moderation. Occasionally indulging in a bit of cheat food is fine, Bonow and Druz said. Druz lets her kids have tortilla chips, if they put some guacamole on top. “Do they go for chips? Of course,” she said. “We can balance, perhaps, some bad with the good.” Bonow said eating a little red meat isn’t a problem, adding that portion size is more important than what you’re actually eating. “Keep your weight under control,” he said. He doesn’t bug his two adult sons if they’re chomping down on pizza or burgers, he said. “They eat all kinds of things I don’t eat,” he said. “I don’t badger them. Occasionally a sideways glance.” Don’t worry too much – it’s stressful. Patients can be panicky, Bonow said, bringing in pages of print-outs from the Internet. “They’re doing all the right stuff,” he said. But for some, it’s never enough. They still worry about other tests they think they should be taking, for example. A stressful workload or lots of travel can take a toll on health, too. It’s important to balance that with things you enjoy.

Wessels Living History Farm offers taste of 1920s farm life BY TERRY TURNER‌

YORK, Neb. | Just one mile south of Interstate 80 on Highway 81 is Wessels Living History Farm, where visitors can experience farm life in the 1920s. The complex contains 11 historic farm buildings filled with artifacts from farming’s history. The living history farm is the 10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

result of one man’s desire to preserve the farm life of the past. David Wessels was a local successful bachelor farmer. John Carlson, one of three staff members at the museum, said Wessels had a dream to preserve the farm life he experienced during his lifetime. “He collected a lot of what we have here,” said Carlson.

The Equipment Building at the farm is full of tractors and farm equipment collected and restored by Wessels. Included in the large collection are examples of Moline, John Deere and Farmall tractors dating back to the 1920s. Wessels restored all the tractors and stationary engines in the collection. Carlson said he loved to participate

in tractor pulls, parades and shows in the area. Wessels also collected miniature tractors along with military pictures and papers that are on display in the building. The Equipment Building has a portrait of Wessels painted by Nebraska artist Judy Krysl. Some of the smaller buildings on the property include a garage that

now houses the farm’s woodworking shop, and a cob house where corn cobs were stored that were used to fuel the cook stove. There’s also a poultry house where laying hens were kept. The smallest house on the property is the privy. The outside toilet was called a privy in the 1920s, but in 1935 the WPA sent teams into rural areas to build the little houses and changed the name to “outhouse.” The barn at the Living History Farm is a post and beam structure built in 1917. It was built to house 20 horses and to store hay and grain. Farms of the era typically had at least two barns, one for horses and another for milk cows. Barns were an important part of farm life. The congregation of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in nearby Thayer donated their church to Wessels. The little white church was built in 1904 and is complete with many of the original fixtures, including a working 1914 pipe organ. The centerpiece for Wessels Living History Farm is the house where Dave Wessels once lived. Built in 1917, the house is similar to the Sears Roebuck home of the time period that could be ordered from their catalog. Back then the Victorian-style home could be built for around $1,500 including labor and materials. But over the years the house had fallen into disrepair, said Dale Clark, director at the farm. “It was in sad shape,” said Clark. He said York College used it as a warehouse, and later, when they couldn’t find a buyer for the home, it was given to the local fire department to use for training. After several small burns it was decided to burn the house completely down. But fortunately the historic home was saved by the York Community Foundation, who was in the planning stages for the Wessels Living History Farm. The house was moved to the farm property in 2002 and is now completely restored to what it would have looked like in 1925. The house is filled with artifacts from the 1920s. Hillary Mundt, a staff member at the farm, said one of her favorites is the sad iron. “It came as a set of three,” said Mundt, “with one wooden handle.” She said the irons would be heated on the

From May through October Wessels is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 4:30 p.m. From January through April the farm museum is open by appointment.

wood stove and then one could be used while the other two remained hot. When the first one cooled off, “you just moved the handle to the

hot one and continued ironing,” said Mundt. The iron was patented April 4, 1871, by Mary Florence Potts of Ottumwa, Iowa.

The farm also has a one-room country school where students from grades 1 through 8 once learned their ABCs from a teacher who many times was not much older than her 8th grade students. The school was donated by members of the German Reformed Church in Sutton, Nebraska. Inside the school are books, a pull-down map, slates, pens and ink wells. The church donated some of the student desks, the teacher’s desk and a file cabinet. March 2016 | 11
