Wooster’s original public library was located on the northwest corner of North Market and Larwill streets. In addition to the library, the Greek revival-style structure’s attic housed the local museum that later evolved into the Wayne County Historical Society. The structure was demolished to make way for the present-day main library building.

Nov. 21, 1913: The invention of two local men - a headlight for cars that automatically adjusted to curves in the road.

The brainchild of Paul Synder, an agent for the C&SW electric line company, and his father, the Rev. P.W. Snyder, the headlight was expected to be granted a patent that would sell for a large sum of money.

Nov. 27, 1913: A hunting dog apparently committed suicide after its owner accidentally - and fatally - shot himself near Madisonburg.

Peter Latona, who had been hunting rabbits, was on his way home when he came to a wire fence. As he climbed the fence, he reached for his gun, the trigger of which was believed to have caught on a wire. The gun discharged, with a bullet entering Latona’s right lung.

With a loud cry, Latona fell to the ground. Earl Hider and Orie Runkle, who were hunting in an adjoining field, heard the commotion and came to Latona’s aid.

Hider ran to a farm house and called an ambulance, which arrived 35 minutes later.

Shortly after Latona was placed in the ambulance, one of his dogs, a hound, jumped on the interurban tracks in front of a limited car and firmly stood its ground. The car struck, killing it instantly.

Latona’s other dog tried to kill itself as well, waiting for a car to come into view. At the last second, however, Hider fired his gun, scaring the dog out of the car’s path.

Latona died in the city hosptial within four hours of the accident. He was survivied by a wife and five children, the youngest of which was 2 years old.

Nov. 30, 1948: The first three Wayne County men to be inducted into the military under the new draft law quietly left Wooster in the morning.

Those men were: Jack C. Boley, 25, of Shreve; and William Paul Dutiel, 25, and Glenn Laverne Roth, 24, of Orrville.

Military personnel are unsung heroes whose sacrifices for their country make it possible for hundreds of millions of people to enjoy

freedoms that many people across the globe do not have. In recognition of those sacrifices, many people want to show their appreciation to both active and retired servicemen and women. Fortunately, there are many ways to do just that.

• Pitch in at home. According to the United States Department of Defense, the United States military currently deploys active duty personnel in nearly 150 countries. Many of those troops are separated from their

families for months at a time, and that separation can make things difficult for their loved ones back home. If a neighbor’s spouse is deployed overseas, offer to help around the house. Whether it’s mowing their lawn, dropping their kids off at school or inviting the whole family over for dinner one night each week, such gestures can go a long way toward easing the burden faced by spouses of deployed military personnel.

• Send gifts to active personnel. Servicemen and women on active duty do not enjoy many of the luxuries that tend to be taken for granted back home. But men and women who want to show their appreciation can send care packages to active personnel serving overseas. An organization such as Operation Gratitude (operationgratitude.com), which to date has sent nearly 1.3 million care packages to active personnel, sends care packages filled with snacks, entertainment, personal hygiene products and handmade items. This provides active personnel a taste of home while also letting them know their extraordinary efforts are appreciated and not forgotten.

• Volunteer at a veterans hospital. Unfortunately, many servicemen and women return home from their deployments with injuries or health conditions that require long-term care. By volunteering at veteran hospitals, men and women can help veterans overcome their injuries and provide much-needed help to staff at hospitals that could use a helping hand. Visit volunteer.va.gov for more information.

• Make a financial donation. For those who want to support servicemen and women but don’t have much free time to do so, financial donations can go a long way toward improving the quality of life of active and retired military personnel. Many programs work with veterans to improve their quality of life, and such organizations rely heavily on financial donations to make their missions a reality. The Wounded Warrior Project (woundedwarriorproject.org), for example, works to honor and empower servicemen and women who incurred physical or mental injuries or illnesses on or after September 11, 2001. The organization relies on the generosity of individuals who want to help wounded military personnel overcome their injuries and illnesses. Based on audited financial statements of the 2014 fiscal year, ending on September 30, 2014, 80.6 percent of total expenditures went to services and programs catering to wounded military personnel and their families, assuring prospective donors that their donations will go toward helping those in need.

There are many ways that civilians can express their gratitude to active and retired military personnel.

Buying tires is an expensive endeavor, but with the weather conditions changing, the effectiveness of our tires may be as well. Even though tire

companies produce various types of tires for the seasons, many consumers don’t realize the difference between winter and all-season tires, and never consider the possible need or added security seasonal tires offer when preparing the family car for the hazards of winter.

One of the differences between a winter and an all-season tire is the tread design, a winter tire has “more siping and excellent evacuation of the sludge” says Scott of Smetzer Tire. The siping, or thin squiggly lines that run across the tire, is in addition to the typical tread and often appears on a slant. The siping is designed to grip the snow as the tire comes into contact with the road and then releases the snow as the tire revolves around the axle. In theory this provides more traction as the tires sludge through a wintry mix.

Winter tires can offer additional features like snow studs. Snow studs, which bite into the ice and increase a tire’s ability to navigate a slippery surface, are little pieces of metal about half an inch in length that are driven into the shoulder of the tires with a special gun; catching onto the lip of the hole, the stud then sticks out of the tire. While studs may decrease the likelihood of a tire slipping on ice, they are not a permanent fixture and will fall out throughout the course of the winter. Additionally, studs are only legally allowed to be in use from November 15 to April 15 within the state of Ohio.

A disadvantage of a winter tire is that they have to be removed once the snow is gone. The synthetic material combined to create winter tires is softer and more pliable,

The Facts About Tires For Winter

increasing winter maneuverability. Unfortunately, the material will not stand up against the wear and tear of the pavement as long as an all-season tire and should not be run outside the winter months. Which means that every fall, winter tires need to be put on a car and then they have to be taken off in the spring, resulting in maintenance costs.

Chad Ackerman from Bob Sumerel Tire Company suggests that if you do wish to own winter tires separate rims should be purchased. By owning separate rims for your winter tires the cost of having them changed for the seasons decreases exponentially.

Finding winter tires to fit your vehicle can be a problem. Many southern and western states do not experience regular amounts of snow that would warrant a snow tire. Due to the limited demand in winter tires, not every manufacturing company will make a winter tire in every size. Meaning that one company may make a winter tire for a Ford Focus, but not for a Dodge Dart.

Depending on typical driving patterns, winter tires may not be necessary for all drivers. “All-season tires are [made of] a little harder compound but still very affective in the winter weather and they are good at dispelling water” says Kevin Covert of 300 Tire. Several companies make all-season tires that do well in the winter under certain conditions. Short drives that take main roads or roads that are maintained by a plowing service can be completed with a good all-season tire.

Regardless of the type of tire you choose, the air pressure and tread wear of your tires should be properly maintained for the safest drive. The shoulder tread of the tire is extremely important; when you turn the wheel of your vehicle the shoulder of the tire grips the ground and allows the vehicle to pull smoothly around a corner. When you add a wintry mix to the road the car has a harder time gripping the road, meaning that if the shoulder tread is too worn the car will not drive well on the slippery surface.

The amount of air within your tires affects the responsiveness, wear rate and gas mileage of your vehicle. Cars that have been manufactured after 2008 contain a psi monitor to warn a driver if the air pressure significantly changes. If your car contains air rather than nitrogen you are likely to see a decrease in pressure with the dropping temperature. Scott Daugherty from Smetzer Tire Company encourages all drivers to check their tires as least once a month and to follow the recommended numbers on the inside panel of your vehicles driver side door. The psi numbers on the physical tire may not apply to your vehicle’s size and weight. Pressure should be measured when tires are

cold otherwise the psi may seem higher than it is due to the vibration of the molecules while the vehicle was in motion. Maintaining these levels will help to ensure the car’s response time, gas mileage and tread wear rate remains optimized.

Before the snow begins to fill the streets, think through the type of driving the family car generally endures. Winter tires will provide the ultimate traction in a wintry mix and are recommended for those constantly traveling long distances or on back roads. On the other hand a good all-season tire will keep the family safe on roads that have been maintained by a snow crew. Nevertheless, checking the tread and air pressure of the tires on your vehicles will help to maintain the ultimate driving experience.

any further questions or concerns in regards to your tires this winter season.

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American

Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease.

But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack.

In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HEART DISEASE?Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host

of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms:

• Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken.

• Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity.

• Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is

irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY HEART?Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and

women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages.• Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of

exercise per day can protect against disease.• Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a

host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track.

• Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health.

• Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease.

• Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds.

Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease.

Story by PAUL LOCHERDIX COMMUNICATIONS WRITER

Bob Hershey

Everything you do in life, you learn something from.”So says Orrville resident Bob Hershey.

And if that statement is true, Hershey must know an awful lot, because throughout his life he’s done an awful lot.

A native of Orrville where he graduated from Orrville High School in 1944, Hershey remembers as a youngster his friends working in the black soil of the so-called muck farms in the lowlands east of the town, being paid for their hard labor on a piecework basis.

He said he fared better, getting his first job driving a horse-drawn wagon on a route for the Smith Dairy for a princely salary of fifty cents per day.

“In those days everybody trusted everybody, because everyone in the town knew one another,” Hershey recalls. “The doors were always left open, and I’d just walk into a house and put the milk into the ice box. People used to hang their house keys outside. At my own house, I don’t think anyone even knew where the key was.”

Hershey said his forebears were a pioneer family that had its roots in Westmoreland County, Pa., and that its members had a strong work ethic. He still cherishes a couple of pieces he has from the conestoga wagon that transported the family to Wayne County in 1864.

He said his father was a “straight-laced Presbyterian; as honest as honest is,” but added, “When he barked, you listened.” He remembers his Mennonite mother as, “the most gentle soul you could ever run into. I never heard her say a negative word about anyone. It was impossible not to love her.”

In high school Hershey was a chronic joiner, involved in such activities as High Y, student council, school plays and managing the football team.

“I’ve just always liked organizations,” said Hershey. “They were always something that beckoned to me.”Upon graduating from high school, Hershey was

drafted into the army and found himself quickly sent overseas where he enviably watched as his friends were sent to the front lines to fight the Japanese in the Philippines.

He recalls that, because he had taken a typing course in high school, he was placed in a job where he typed intelligence reports about Japanese military activity. And at age 18 he found himself in Manila, working at the headquarters of Gen. Douglas McArthur as a clerk typist.

Hershey said the group he was working in was assigned to prepare the paperwork for the governmental structure that would be instituted in Japan when the U.S. Forces occupied the country in the wake of the planned invasion.

Ironically, Hershey recalls, two of McArthur’s personal drivers were also from Orrville, but he never found that out until years after the war ended. In all, Hershey said, there were 13 people from Orrville working right around him in McArthur’s sphere, though he didn’t realize it then.

When the Japanese surrendered, Hershey had a copy of one of the original teletyped messages about it, though military police eventually showed up at his room to confiscate it.

Asked what the best thing was that he took away from his two years of military service, Hershey says, “Discipline … and a sense of awe.”

Back home Hershey – who ardently wanted to become a city planner, against the wishes of his father who

wanted his son to become a partner in his insurance agency – enrolled in Wooster Business College.

He recalls that in 1946 he was in his father’s insurance office and met one of his father’s friend he had known before going into the service.

“We shook hands, and he said, ‘Aren’t you happy to see me?’ I responded, ‘Yes,’ Hershey recalls, “but why did he ask me that question? He said, ‘Then shake my hand like you mean it, and look me in the eye.’”

Hershey said it was a conversation he never forgot and a lesson he took to heart that would affect how he greeted people the rest of his life.

“That never happened again, but really, no one had ever told me that a firm handshake was an expression of sincerity and integrity,” Hershey said.

In 1950 Hershey married his wife Jessie, whom he met at Wooster Business College, and started down a lifetime path toward becoming one of Orrville’s major movers and shakers.

When the Jaycees Club started in Orrville in 1953, Hershey saw it as an opportunity to use what he perceived as his skills as a city planner, and jumped into a succession of leadership roles. Not only did he serve the club as president, but went on to become the state president of the Jaycees, and eventually a national director. Under his leadership, the organization started the city’s now well-known Independence Day celebration.

In the mid-1960s, Hershey was instrumental in starting the Young Republicans Club in Orrville. During a retreat with about 30 leaders of the national organization, they hosted a speaker named Ronald Reagan, and Hershey still regards it as one of the most momentous occasions of his life.

In the decades that followed, Hershey became involved in a plethora of activities and ventures in his hometown, including helping start the YMCA in the community, serving on a variety of committees for Orrville schools, being involved with the Orrville Area United Way and the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce, Childrens Services Board, OrrViews newspaper, serving on the board and eventually becoming president of the Wayne County Board of Elections and being on the committee that ultimately brought Wayne College to the community after being in stiff competition for the school with the City of Wadsworth.

He said being involved with the Wayne College project was a highlight in his life because it put him in contact with so many people knowledgeable about how to get things accomplished, like Ralph Fisher, Paul Smucker, Vic Dix and Tony Yonto.

“I’ve always enjoyed being around people who are

decision makers and entrepreneurs,” Hershey, 89, said.He said trips he won as a result of his work with the insurance agency inspired a love of travel, and over the years he has journeyed to such exotic locals as Brazil, Alaska, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, France, Switzerland, Austria, England, Italy, Scotland, the Caribbean, Japan, the Philippines and all of the United States.

He has gone para-sailing, flown in gliders and a dirigible, skied the slopes of western resorts for a decade and he and a group of friends set out every Monday morning to play a different golf course somewhere in the northern half of Ohio, his favorites being Gray Hawk at LaGrange and Deer Ridge near Lexington.

Hershey remains active in Christ United Church of Christ, heading the building committee for its most recent expansion, and often puttering around the grounds to help create new landscaping or do needed repair work.

“We’ve always gone to church every Sunday,” said Hershey. “I’ve always felt that’s your foundation.”

Now married nearly 67 years, with five children, 20 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren, Hershey said he is increasingly concerned about what he sees as a loss of work ethic in American society, accompanied by voter apathy, breakdown of the family, burgeoning government, expansion of social media and abandonment of newspapers as a source of information.

“I think our generation lived in the best of times,” he said.

Thanksgiving RecipesHoliday TurkeyServings: 15

Ingredients:*1 fresh turkey, about 15 pounds, preferably free-range*1 tbsp. olive oil*1 quart apple cider*2 tsp. dried poultry seasoning Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:Remove the giblets from the turkey and

discard (or save for another use). Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will become visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the finished bird.

Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before you plan to start roasting. Preheat the oven to 450° F.

Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, flameproof roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over the top.

Roast for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 175° F. Pour the cider into the roasting pan and sprinkle the poultry seasoning in the liquid. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (but not touching bone) registers to 170° F. Total cooking time is about 12 hours.

Transfer the turkey to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 minutes (see tip). Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Put the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan drippings to a boil over high heat. Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly, enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices.

Resting tip: Slow-roasted meats need far less resting time (pretty much none) than those that are traditionally roasted. The reason for resting meat that has been roasted at a high temperature is to allow juices that have collected in the cooler center time to migrate back into the dryer (hotter) exterior sections after it comes out of the oven. Because slow-roasted meats are cooked evenly at a temperature that keeps most of the juices in place, a resting period is largely unnecessary. A brief resting time does allow the meat to become a little firmer as it cools, making it easier to carve.


Ingredients:*1 cup butter *2 cups celery, chopped*1 cup onion, chopped*2 tsp. thyme leaves*1 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning*1 tsp. seasoned salt*1/2 tsp. black peper, ground* 12 cups dry unseasoned bread cubes*1 cup chicken broth

Directions:Preheat oven to 375°. Melt butter in large skillet

on medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir 5 minutes. Stir in thyme, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt and pepper.

Place bread cubes in large bowl. Add celery mixture and broth; toss gently until well mixed. Spoon into lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.

Bake 35 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.

Herb StuffingServings: 18

Pumpkin PieServings: 7 to 9

Ingredients:*3 eggs*1 egg yolk*1/2 cup white sugar*1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed*1/2 tsp. cinnamon, ground*1 tsp. salt*1/2 tsp. nutmeg, ground*1/2 tsp. ginger, ground *1/4 tsp. cloves, ground*1 1/2 cups milk*1/2 cup heavy whipping cream* 2 cups pumpkin puree*handmade or store bought pie crust

Directions:Preheat oven to 425°, reduce heat to 350° after

10 minutes.In a large bowl, combine eggs, egg yolk, white

sugar and brown sugar. Add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Gradually stir in milk and cream. Stir in pumpkin. Pour filling into pie shell.

Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat and bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is set.

Sweet Potato Casserole

Servings: 7 to 9

Ingredients:*5 sweet potatoes, sliced*1/4 cup butter*1/2 cup packed brown sugar*1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon*1 (10.5 oz.) package miniature marshmallows

Directions:Preheat oven to 350° Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with

enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and mash.

Place mashed sweet potatoes in large bowl, and use mixer to blend with the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread evenly into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Top with miniature marshmallows.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until heated through, and marshmallows are puffed and golden brown.

Story by KATE MINNICHNOW & THEN WRITER & DESIGNER

The year 1621 is well known to Americans as the year the Pilgrims and Native Americans sat down to the first Thanksgiving feast. Images of

roasting turkey, bowls of potatoes, corn, and pies dance through our heads as we envision the food on our own Thanksgiving tables. But mile long parades and building sized balloons did not fill the streets of Plymouth. Nor were there large extended families gathering from miles apart. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the surviving Pilgrims and their Native American allies, as they gave thanks for the year’s harvest.

The Mayflower was greeted with the harsh winter weather of New England and a majority of the pilgrims lived aboard the ship until the following spring. During this time, the close quarters and low food stores led to a quick spread of diseases and scurvy that wiped out nearly half of those aboard the Mayflower. When the Pilgrims moved onto the land and began to make a life for themselves, they had very little food stores left. The Pilgrims were weak from malnutrition and trying to live in a new world that they knew very little about.

Not long after the Pilgrims began to settle Plymouth, they were visited by two Native Americans who taught

them how to live off the land. Their first visitor from the Abenaki tribe greeted the new comers in English, much to their surprise. After several days had passed the same man returned with Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe. Squanto had been kidnapped and sold into slavery by an English sea captain, but had escaped to London. Eventually, Squanto was able to return to North America on an expedition to explore the new world. He taught the weakened Pilgrims how to plant and harvest corn and collect sap from the maple trees, how to fish in the surrounding rivers and avoid certain poisonous plants. Squanto also helped the Pilgrims to create an alliance with the local tribe, Wampanoag that would last over 50 years.

The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in November, 1621 after the Pilgrim’s first successful corn harvest. The governor of Plymouth, William Bradford, invited the Wampanoag chief, Massasoit and organized a celebratory feast. Thought of as the “first Thanksgiving” by many Americans this feast lasted three days.

There are no existing records that detail the original menu, but from the diary of Pilgrim Edward Winslow historians have been able to make an educated guess.

A Time For Family, Food and a Bit of History


Winslow noted that in preparation for the feast Bradford sent out four men to hunt fowl and that the Wampanoag guests brought an offering of five deer. The fowl could have been swan, duck, goose, or turkey, all of which made up the local wildlife. The main dishes would also have included seafood such as lobster, or shellfish of which there were plenty in the area. Due to the Pilgrims dwindling supplies and the lack of an English oven, Native American cooking methods as well as spices were likely used in the preparation of the Thanksgiving feast. Meaning there were no pies, or other desserts we associate with Thanksgiving today. Instead they may have hollowed out a pumpkin and filled the shell with milk, honey and spices, creating a custard that would then be roasted over hot ashes.

Contrary to popular belief, the first Thanksgiving was not the beginning of a yearly event. The Pilgrims waited until 1623 to repeat their Thanksgiving feast and the event was conducted in order to give thanks to God for the end of a drought that had threatened the harvest. This practice of Thanksgiving became a well-known practice in the early settlements of New England, but the length between celebrations was dependent on the situation of the communities. George Washington issued the first governmental Thanksgiving proclamation in 1789 in order to give thanks for America’s Independence from England and an end to the war. Several other presidents issued similar proclamations throughout their terms in office, but Thanksgiving was not a consistently acknowledged holiday.

Thanksgiving did not become a national holiday until the height of the Civil War in 1863. The first state to annually celebrate Thanksgiving was New York in 1817. They were followed by several other northern states while the majority of the south remained unaccustomed to the tradition. The campaign to establish Thanksgiving

as a national holiday began in 1827 with magazine editor and writer Sarah Josepha Hale. She published and wrote many articles and sent out letters to government officials for 36 years. Abraham Lincoln seized the idea and encouraged Americans to remember those who have become “widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife.”

Thanksgiving was celebrated on the final Thursday in November and was annually celebrated until 1939. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in an effort to stimulate the economy, moved Thanksgiving forward a week. The Great Depression had caused a steep decrease in sales and it was Roosevelt’s hope that the national holiday could be moved in order to increase the number of sales. His economic plan was met with heavy opposition from the general public who nicknamed the new date Franksgiving. Thanksgiving was officially moved back to the fourth Thursday in November in 1941.

Americans are now firmly established in the country and food sources and cooking methods are bountiful; our circumstances have changed from those of the first Americans. Originally Thanksgiving was created to give thanks to God for sparing the living and supplying enough food. Today Americans take a slightly different approach and give thanks for the family and friends surrounding them while sharing a feast. Whether you are sitting around a table with three generations or one, enjoy the company of one another this holiday season.

JokeBUSINESS

Harry was working at a construction site when he came across a bottle. He popped it open and out came a Genie. “I gotta warn you,” said the Genie “I’m not that powerful but I’ll try my best.” “Well” said Harry, “I’m trying desperately to start a new business and I have a very important meeting tonight with a potential investor…” “I’ll tell you what,” said the Genie, “and this is the best I can do. I’ll give you a one time good luck charm. To start it say, 123. When you’re done, say 1234.” And with that the Genie was gone in a puff of smoke. Harry couldn’t believe his good luck. As he nervously tied

The costs of filling prescriptions is simply too big to bear for many people, even now that the Affordable Care Act has greatly reduced the

amount of people who are uninsured. A survey from the Commonwealth Fund found that 35 million people in America failed to fill a prescription in 2014 because of the cost of the medication. That figure represents an improvement from 2010, when 48 million people did not fill their prescriptions due to the costs of those medications, but it still serves to highlight a need many people have to cut the costs of their medicine.

Though people who cannot afford to fill their prescriptions often feel helpless, there are a handful of ways they can cut the costs of their medications and start feeling better.

• Discuss changes with your physician. Perhaps the simplest way to cut prescription costs is to discuss medication options with your physician. Brand-name drugs are typically more expensive than generic alternatives, so speak with your physician about generic drugs or less costly brand-name drugs that may treat your condition as well as expensive brand-name drugs do.

• Consider Patient Assistance Programs. Sometimes referred to as “Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs,” Patient Assistance Programs, or PAPs, can greatly reduce the burden of prescription drug costs. Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, PAPs distribute billions of dollars to patients who otherwise could not afford their medications. Ask your doctor for more information.

• Consult your member organizations. If you are a member of the AAA automotive group or the American Association of Retired Persons, you might be eligible for medication discount cards free of charge. These cards provide discounts on your medications, but some come with expensive fees upfront. Look for no-fee cards, such as those offered to AAA and AARP members or others offered by nonprofit organizations, before considering options offered by pharmaceutical companies or other for-profit businesses.

• Contact charitable organizations. Some charitable organizations, such as the National Organization for Rare Disorders and maybe even some local nonprofits, offer prescription assistance to people in need. Visit NORD online at www.rarediseases.org.

his tie in front of the mirror, he kept on repeating over in his head 123, 123, 123. Harry nervously knocked on the rich man’s office. “Come in,” said the man in a deep imposing voice. OK, here goes thought Harry to himself as he sat down across from the man. Before he started he muttered to himself “123”, suddenly he knew everything would be OK. He opened up his mouth to start speaking but before he could say anything the man behind the desk pleasantly asked, “What did you say 123, for?”
