Truth – Rock Mill Weekendswould be impossible without ourvolunteers! Our staff is too smallto care for other park locations andopen Rock Mill for tours onweekends. Therefore, we need tothank those who do volunteer theirtime to greet and educate visitors,and for being advocates for theDistrict.

Not only do volunteers greetvisitors during Rock MillWeekends, they educate bysharing the history of the mill. Afew of the long-time volunteerseven have knowledge of localfamilies who helped shapeFairfield County, adding anotherdimension to the experience.Some have even learned howmilling was done more than 100years ago and work hard onweekends to give livedemonstrations. After grinding,others sift the meal with a bolterthen bag it. They clean before and

after the events and that is no easytask!

Rock Mill Weekends 2019 –Come, tour the mill any Saturdayor Sunday, 1-4 PM, from Maythrough October. On the lastSunday of each month, there willbe a milling demonstration. Fordetails, seehttps://www.fairfieldcountyparks.org/event/rock-mill-weekends-2019/.

Stebelton Park at Rock Mill,though, is only one of many placeswhere they serve. Volunteers areexpanding the pollinator gardenthey founded and creating andmonitoring a bluebird trail atSmeck Park. They help withpublic educational programs andspecial events, support Park staff,conduct park clean-ups and bioticsurveys, work to remove invasiveplant species, and so much more.The most important work they dois share information about uswhenever and wherever possible.

A donation of time is truly oneof the best ways you can supportFairfield County Parks.Volunteers gain a sense ofaccomplishment, meet people withshared interests, and develop newskills. They also are investing inthe natural and cultural history ofFairfield County. There are no agelimits but those who are not yet 16years of age must participate witha parent or guardian who is anapproved volunteer. Schedules areflexible depending on where andhow one chooses to volunteer.Training is provided at no cost.Ready to work and have fun withus?

What a great community wehave! Residents of Bremen andRushcreek Township cametogether to make the BremenCommunity Easter Egg Hunt a bigsuccess. However, that comes asno surprise. In the past, the Easteregg hunt was a really big thing forBremen, with businesses andindividuals always more thanhappy to donate. This tradition hasbeen missing for several years.With the first year “under our belt,”we are already looking forward tonext year.

After weeks of planning andorganizing, it all came down to theweather. Would Mother Nature bekind to us, or would we be dodgingrain drops? On Wednesday there

was an 80% chance of rain and Iwas panicking. On Thursday it hadgone down to 70% and my thoughtwas, let’s see what tomorrowbrings. Friday evening it wasforecast to stop by 9:30 am. Great.We were setting up at 10:30,hopefully the forecast is right. Itwas damp and a little chilly, but therain held off. It didn’t start raininguntil everything was cleaned up,packed away and we were allhome!

There were so many wonderfulpeople that helped make itpossible. From donating candy,plastic eggs and money to the greatgroup we had that stuffed 3600eggs in less than 3 hours. Thehighlight of that evening was DaveMyers (the only man in the group)stopping in to help. He said

“Ladies, I have four bags of candyto donate. I will fill the eggs withmy candy and then I need to leave.I told Annie I wouldn’t be gonelong.” Funny thing is, every timehis pile of candy would get low,Sally Grimm would pile on more.He ended up staying the entire timeand when Annie came to see howthings were going, she just pulledup a chair and started helping. Thatis what our community is all about.Neighbors helping neighbors, nomatter how big or how small thetask.

Another big task was roping offthe park and scattering the eggs.Anthony Taylor took charge of thatendeavor. Anthony had experiencewith that project. He did it theprevious week for the PleasantvilleEgg Hunt. He and his sons Dakotaand Marcus roped off the agegroups. They, along with Colin,Aaron and Isaac Tripp and ChaelCarpenter, scattered/hid the eggs.We had three girls who decidedthey wanted to volunteer to helpinstead of hunting eggs. ThanksBella Bryan and Kerra and KylieFuller. Your help was greatlyappreciated.

We had individuals andbusinesses donate prizes for theraffle. There were 16 prizes foreach age group in addition to all thecandy-filled eggs. There werestuffed animals, Easter baskets, giftcards, Goldfish crackers, bowlingpasses, $5.00 bills and much more.Sweet to the Soul donateddecorated cookies, BirdiesCupcakes in Pleasantville donateda dozen beautifully decoratedcupcakes and Sweets to TasteBakery, a new business that iscoming to Bremen soon, donated afabulous Easter cake.

I would like to thank Falcon’sNest, Tiki Lane Bowling, DonutWorld, Gypsie Joe’s, ShahanDistribution LLC, Val Martindilland Sally Grimm for the wonderfulprizes donated. And thanks to ChadAshbaugh (Ashbaugh Truckingand Excavating) and the manyresidents that donated moneytoward the prizes and LaurieWithem and her awesome bargainshopping skills. Thanks to ChiefWill Duvall for allowing us to storeeverything at the firehouse. TheVillage of Bremen for allowing usto use the park all day and MyersFamily Farm for loaning us bales

of straw for the Easter Bunny touse. Also thank you to David andDebbie Wolfe for their hours ofwork to get the park as well as thefish pond ready. There were somany contributions and so manyvolunteers. I know I am leavingsome out and for that I apologize.There was such an outpouring ofgenerosity that it is hard to listeveryone.

I’ve got to tell you this, theabsolute best part of the day wasthe smiling faces. There were somany of them. Waylon Coffman(age 5) won a stuffed bunny thatwas bigger than he is. He triedcarrying it in front on him, whenthat didn’t work he tried to carry itunder one arm. He ended upputting it on top of his head andholding it with both hands as hewalked back to his. His sisterOakley (age 3) won a homemadeRapunzel braid. She lookedadorable. I’m sure she will get a lotof fun playing dress up with it.Kelley Tripp took a lot of greatpictures that day and many peopleshared their pictures as well on ourFacebook page.

Of course, the Easter Bunny’svisit was a great hit. Laughs,smiles, hugs, posing for picturesand a basket full of treats for thekids filled the Easter Bunny selfiearea. There was also a family styleselfie area, elegantly decoratedwith flowers and Easter props forfamily/group photos. Both areasprovided great fun andopportunities to capture thememories. Thanks to Tara Boboand family for the Easter Bunnyarea. Thanks to Kelley Tripp, KimCarpenter and Arlene Thomas forthe beautiful setting for the grouppictures. (These ladies are expertsat selfie stations. They set up forthe Pumpkin Walk every year andit is always a hit.)

I am looking forward to ournext activity which is Donut Daysat the Bremen Area HistoricalSociety on Saturday June 8. I knowwe will have just as much fun!There will be donuts, coffee(maybe juice) along with games,crafts and donuts. Did I mentionthere will be donuts? I don’t knowwhat kind of donuts, but if it’s adonut, it’s bound to be good. Wemay even have a game thatinvolves donuts. You will just haveto stop by to find out what kind ofdonuts they will have and whatgames we will be playing. TheBremen Historical SocietyMuseum will also be open forvisitors to enjoy. The museum isopen Tuesdays 10AM to 2PM,Thursdays 6PM to 9PM andSaturdays 10AM to 2PM. You mayalso contact Terry Borah (740)438-9211 for a weekdayappointment.

The goal of this article is toawaken in you an awareness aboutthe millions of Americans withundiagnosed diabetes and how tocombat the diabetic epidemic be-ginning with you-specifically you!

Over the past several years, thereality of the diabetic epidemic hasbeen highlighted by a variety of thenews media. It is reported that over40 million in the US alone andhundreds of millions worldwidealready have diabetes and do notknow it!

From a testing standpoint, fast-ing high blood sugar is considereddiabetes. Pre-diabetes, is a term inwhich the fasting blood sugar isabove the “normal” and less thanthe high fasting blood sugar levelof diabetes. The diagnosis of dia-betes is often made in early to midage individuals. However, diabetesitself has its beginning early in life.It’s a life time of typically poordietary decisions that help you toeventually obtain the official diag-nosis of diabetes.

Specific genetic studies for typeII diabetes have not as yet beenestablished and are possible toolsof the future. The Center for Dis-ease Control (CDC) reported inOctober 2006: 2 million youthswithin the United States have pre-diabetes, pre-diabetes can be re-versed and left unchecked, pre-dia-betics may lead to full-blowndiabetes and heart disease. Addi-tionally, kids are not the only oneswith pre-diabetes, and manygrown-ups have it already anddon’t recognize it. The percentagefor adults with pre-diabetes is sky-rocketing!

The key element for pre-diabe-tes and diabetes itself is sugar. Thesugar in your body is carried inyour blood. This comes from yourdiet predominately and it is essen-tial for life. Luckily, our sugar canbe accurately measured in ourblood. A small sample is takenfrom you before your breakfast.This measurement is called yourfasting blood sugar. Whenever or

whatever food you eat, your fast-ing blood sugar will immediatelyrespond. This is exactly what musthappen. The food in your diet ischanged by fascinating eventswithin you to become sugar. Thissugar becomes the source of ener-gy in life of every cell in yourbody. This amazing event howev-er, does not just happen by itself. Itneeds a very special hormone thatis essential for yours cells to utilizethe sugar. That hormone is insulin.

“Blood sugar” and “blood glu-cose” are going to be consideredone in the same as it applies in thisarticle. The oral glucose (sugar )tolerance test is simply having theperson to be tested-after a fastingblood sugar specimen has beenobtained- then receives a givenamount of sugar in a liquid. Afterthat specific amount of sugar hasbeen ingested, at scheduled timeintervals, blood specimens for sug-ar determinations in the blood areobtained. This oral glucose toler-ance test has been an establishedprocedure for the diagnosis overthe diabetes since 1921. This testhas provided the earliest diagnosisof pre-diabetes and diabetes evenwhen the blood sugars were nor-mal.

The oral glucose tolerance testwith insulin assay is practically

unequaled in the world medicalliterature as the best test for earliestdiagnosis of pre-diabetes. The ear-liest diagnosis of pre-diabetes of-ten times called metabolicsyndrome is hyper insulin, essen-tially type II diabetes identified byinsulin assay with normal glucosetolerance.

Thus far here’s what’s impor-tant to gather from what we’ve justdiscussed: pre-diabetes/metabolicsyndrome (Type II) and diabetesitself (Type I) is being diagnosed atalarming rates throughout the pop-ulation of North America. Type IIdiabetes is primarily a poor diet-induced condition, and there aretests that can be done that can helpaccurately diagnosis where you areon the sliding scale of diabetic in-volvement.

What you may have listened toor read in modern media is that,“We’re not exactly sure whatcauses pre-diabetes and type II di-abetes.” Some experts attributed itto obesity. Others say it’s our mod-ern sedentary lifestyle. Still othersblame the patients themselves, im-plying that they are lazy or sloth-ful. A more common and moretruthful causative factor is to placethe responsibility where it deservesto be: on the foods that you andI’ve been taught to crave, believingthey are a safe part of our diet.What we are not being told is howterrible they are for your health andhow they constitute a causal link tothis terrible disease.

Many experts now believe thatthe global pandemic of type II dia-betes /pre-diabetes is caused di-rectly from our modern diet and itshighly processed foods. These in-clude high-carbohydrate/low-nu-trient junk, overly processedrefined foods and metabolism-dis-tressing ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup, trans fat, re-fined vegetable oils and artificialsweeteners. Factor in hidden aller-gies to wheat and other substances(which stress and weaken the hu-man immune system) and a cata-strophic absence of high-fiber,nutrient-dense whole foods such asfresh fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and beans, and humanely-raised, hormone-free meat, eggs,fish, and dairy products-you havea perfect recipe for type II diabetes.

If what I have read/researchedand believe this to be true werewidely revealed, and if publichealth officials openly condemnedthis diabetic-causing diet, the eco-nomic repercussions would be

devastating for the giant agribusi-ness corporations, especially togrow the raw materials for thesecommercial “food products”, aterm which seems to fairly qualifyas pseudo-foods. With that said,”What is a person to do?”

Become informed! Become anactive participant in your ownhealth care! Realize that cardiovas-cular disease complications are theleading cause of morbidity andmortality in people with diabetes.Diabetes increases the develop-ment of cardiovascular disease upto 5 fold. As many as 80% of pa-tients with type II diabetes diefrom cardiovascular complica-tions. Diabetes, the most commonendocrine disorder is growing atdisturbing rates. Taking pharma-ceuticals alone is not enough!

You do not have to be one ofthese statistics! But you have totake action!

Talk to your doctor about con-sidering having appropriate bloodtesting which at minimum includesfasting blood sugar and an A1ctest. From the results of those tests-a glucose tolerance test might be aconsideration. Read about lifestylemodifications that might benefityour overall health.

Become better aware of thesigns and symptoms of pre-diabetes/metabolic disease/type IIdiabetes. You do not have to waitto you are a full-blown diabeticand need to take insulin every dayto maintain your blood sugar lev-els. Be proactive-start taking con-trol of your own personal healthtoday!

In ancient times it was commonto track the changing seasonsfollowing the lunar month ratherthan the solar as we do today.Europe and the Native Americantribes named the months afterfeatures associated with theseasons and the activities going on.In the Northern Hemisphere Mayis the Full Flower Moon coming inon May 18th at 9:11 PM. The landis bursting with a rainbow offlowers - daisies, daffodils, sweetpeas, marigolds, forsythia, androses. The moon itself seems toblossom like a flower. The sky isclear, the Flower Moon is a sightto behold. Hopeful we all are outmore to see the moon phases, andthe full moon can flood the Earthbelow with bright light.

For us here in middle America,it can be called the Corn PlantingMoon, maybe some might havesome planted earlier, but the NativeAmericans surely used the term.One other name is the Frogs Returnmonth. Another is the Mother’sMoon, or Milk Moon. We think ofincreased fertility, near end to latefrosts, and the plants in full bloom.To the ancients, the earth wasfertile again and the name Maycomes from the Greek GoddessMaia, goddess of spring growth. Itis a powerful moon, with thetransition from unreliable springweather to beautiful long days ofsummer. For some full ofsuperstition, it strengthened theconnection with the supernaturalprotectors and beings around you.But it is also a Seasonal BlueMoon! That means the 3rd fullmoon out of 4 in any one season,equinox to solstice, or vice versa.We can discuss Blue Moonsanother time, but this is the firstmeaning of a Blue Moon. They arerather rare, as the name has cometo mean.

And speaking of customs andhumans’ ideas of the nature of themoon, we come to the Man in theMoon. A face is so important to ourrecognition of each other, child toparents certainly, that it is onlynatural to see something in that faroff object shining brightly on thosefull moon nights. It refers to any ofseveral images of a human face,head, or body that certain traditionsrecognize in the disc of the fullmoon. The images are composedof dark areas, or the “seas”, low

places on the moon’s surface, andthe lighter areas or highlands.

No matter the culture, a themecomes in about coldness,something far away, either forsafety, or for banishment fromearth, and often water. ForPolynesia it is a woman with achild. The Selish Indians of theAmerican Northwest saw a toad.For the Japanese and other EastAsian it is a rabbit. The Indians ofBuddhism background explain thehare in the moon with a story of itssacrifice and thereforememorialized on the moon. TheChinese has their goddess Chang’sstranded after drinking doubledoses of an immortality potion andaccompanied by UTu, a moonrabbit, hence a theme there.

In Europe old stories persistedand references to the Man in theMoon are found in old poetry andliterature, including Shakespeare.There are carvings on buildings inEngland showing a Man in theMoon. Many stories involved animage of a man and bundle ofsticks, and perhaps a dog with him.Sometimes the man drank toomuch, the moon god of drunkardsthen. But as Christianity spread, thestory involved a man gathering hissticks on the Sabbath and when hemet one traveler going to church,he was banished to the moon forbreaking the idea of no work on theSabbath. The old man supposedlysaid, “Sunday on Earth or Moon inHeaven, they are the same to me.”The man going to church thensaid,” Then bear your burdenforever, yours a perpetual Moon-Day in Heaven.” This is a referencein the Bible to Numbers 15:32, 33.There while in the wilderness aman was gathering sticks on theSabbath and was put to death,God’s orders to Moses. Sometimesit was stealing cabbages from aneighbor, or a woman banishedwith him with a butter tub formaking butter on the Sabbath. Thevillage people who caught themconjured them up to the moon. Orwas it Cain forever wandering?The German tribes often kept thesealive, as it might be a giant leaningover to pour water on earth, thehigh tides, and then standing up torest, the ebb tide.

Going back to the drunkard, onenursery rhyme stated: “The man inthe moon came tumbling down

And asked his way to Norwich

He went by the south andburned his mouth

While supping cold peaseporridge.

Now we know many Englishnursery rhymes or those of Europehave a meaning behind them, butone I found really interesting, thatof Jack and Jill. In theScandinavian countries there wasa tale of two children stolen by theMoon while getting water from awell. The names in their languagehave found their way to be Jack,near in sound, and also a name foreveryman, and his companionbecame Jill. The changing of themoon spots as we see them as themoon wanes becomes related toweather, whether we have rain ornot, and the coming of them againas the moon waxes. They have

been then been related to giving orspilling the water. Did you everimagine that relationship as yousaid that rhyme? What do you seeas you look at the full moon on

these spring and coming summernights? Just think, we live at a timewhen a man has been “on themoon,” not “in the moon.” See youin June.

Compost. Just the thought of therich, loamy, sweet smelling soilamendment makes most gardenersmerry. Adding compost to yourgarden or lawn is a great way toimprove the structure of your soiland also helps the plants to moreeasily take up the nutrients from thesoil. Composting is a great way torecycle, it’s easy to do and theingredients are free (orinexpensive)!

Compost is decayed organicmatter and basically requires fourthings: Organic material (a mixtureof ‘greens’ and ‘browns’), aircirculation, moisture, andorganisms to break down thematerial.

Some examples of ‘greens’ arefruit and vegetable scraps, coffeegrounds (you can toss the groundsin along with their paper filters),eggshells, grass and plant clippings.

Some examples of ‘browns’ aredry leaves, fine woodchips/sawdust, shreddednewspaper, and straw.

Anytime I add some ‘greens’ tothe compost pile, I also add some‘browns’. If the pile has a foul odor,I will add in quite a bit morebrowns and the smell dissipates…eventually. If I notice the pile is notbreaking down, I add more greens.(There are strict ratios you canstrive to adhere to that couldpossibly speed up the process ofdecomposition; I prefer not to getso technical.)

Last year I decided to have somefun and experiment with making ahomemade compost tumbler. Itworked fairly quickly and only costaround $10.

First, I purchased a sturdy,cylindrical, 32-gallon plasticgarbage can with a tightly fitted lidon sale at the local hardware storefor about $6. I also used threebungee cords, which we alreadyhad on hand, but they can bepurchased on sale for around $5 for14 cords.

Next, I drilled 1/2” holesthrough the sides of the containerfor air circulation. I strapped the lidon with the three bungee cords andmy new composter was ready foraction.

It was springtime when I put myhomemade compost tumbler to use.Grass clippings from mowing our(untreated) lawn were abundant,along with lots of wood chips fromsawing firewood. I layered thegrass clippings and fruit andvegetable scraps with the woodchips. I also added some soil frommy garden in order to introducemicro-organisms that would breakdown the materials. Within acouple of weeks the composter wasfull.

With a full container, the onlywork left to do was to occasionallymix the ingredients. Every week orso, I tipped the can on its side (thisis why the lid needs to be bungeedon) and rolled it around to mix upthe materials inside. Then I stoodthe container back up (warning: afull can is heavy).

A few months later the materialsinside had decomposed from a fullcan to about a half a can. Thisspring I dumped the finishedcompost onto one of my raised bedsand am expecting great things forthe upcoming growing season.

Happy composting!

Make a compost tumbler for about $10

Adding browns and greens to my homemade compost tumbler. 'Browns'are materials that are rich in carbon, 'greens' are materials that are richin nitrogen.

Some composting tips:

• Materials that are not recommended for the home composting pile include meat, oil, fat, or grease;diseased plant materials; sawdust or chips from pressure-treated wood; dog or cat feces; weeds thathave gone to seed; and dairy products.

• Straw and dried leaves are best broken down into smaller pieces to speed up the decomposition.We have a small chipper/shredder that makes fast work of it. I’ve also heard of people putting leavesand straw into a metal garbage can, filling it about 1/4 of the way full and putting a weed trimmerdown in the can and letting the circular action of the string trimmer break the materials down beforeadding them to the compost pile.

• I have never added moisture to my compost piles. I’ve found that the moisture contained inthe kitchen scraps seems to supply enough dampness without any added water.

A spinning wheel is how onelocal businessman describes hiscycle of giving. When peopleutilize his businesses and spendtheir money at his establishments,he in turn is able to funnel thatmoney back into the communitywhen someone is in need. This is agenerous gesture of a giving heart,one that he hopes to express andencourage more people to do. Hehopes to encourage local residentsto spend their money locally, whenpossible, so that it can help ourcommunity out as a whole.

Mr. Brad Hutchinson is a namewell known around Lancaster andsurrounding areas. He has been apillar in our community with hisgiving nature and his visions ofrestoring Lancaster’s historicalbuildings to become showplaces

that we all are proud to look at andknow that is part of “our town”. ButBrad wants everybody to know thatwithout his customers he would notbe able to give back the way hedoes. The results of people doingbusiness locally in turn enables alocal business like his to donateback in giving ways where needed.Whether it be clothes, shoes, food,rentals, Brad encourages everybodyto look locally for your needs andwants, before going out of ourcommunity to spend your money.Supporting our local small,independently owned shops notonly keeps their doors open andjobs secured, but allows money tobe set aside to donate to worthycauses.

We all know organizations thatare always looking for donationsfor one thing or another. If younotice most of the time it is the

same local companies donating, notthe big corporations. There isnothing wrong with bigcorporations but if we, as acommunity, can help support oursmall businesses we could see morebusinesses on that list of donors. AsBrad said, “If you are looking to goout to eat, and have not tried one ofthe locally owned establishments,you should. If you need a pair ofshoes, Walkers is a great place togo to.” These are just fewsuggestions to keep in mind whenyou decide to go out and eat orshop. Brad talks about the eventsthat Lancaster puts on, such as thefestivals downtown, which ispossible because we are shoppinglocally, supporting those mom andpop stores. Without the communityspending their hard-earned moneylocally, these events would not bepossible.

Being a business owner is a lotof work, and it takes a lot to keepthe doors open, especially for thesmall mom and pop stores - thestores that are owned and operatedby local companies. Without thesupport of locals buying theirproducts, they would not be able tokeep the doors open. It takes acommunity to support one’sendeavor to run a small business.The more we as a communitysupport our independently ownedstores, restaurants, and businessesthe more they will be able to giveback in ways that can benefit theorganizations that are in need ofdonations. One local companyhelping another local company bymeans of donating all because you,their customers, spent your moneyat their establishment instead ofgoing elsewhere to do that.

In today’s world it is easy to goonline and click “order” and haveit shipped to your home. But haveyou ever considered searching

online for local stores or businessesand see if you could do that samewith them? If one can stay withinour own community and spend ourdollars with a local companyinstead of going elsewhere to do so,wouldn’t that help locally? Notonly are you helping the smallbusiness owners out but you arealso helping those that the ownersemploy keep their jobs. Peoplehelping people is what this is allabout. Like a spinning wheel – thebusiness owner opens his store, thecustomer purchases, employees

keep their jobs, the business staysopen, and in time when all bills arepaid, they have a little money to putback into the community that wasso generous to support theirendeavor.

Giving is a great feeling andwithout the community support thiswould never be possible. So ifpossible, spend locally so that morebusinesses can say “YES” the nexttime you knock on their door orpick up a phone and call them toask for a donation.

The cycle of giving is like a spinning wheelSupporting area business can put money back into the community
