expanding your wealth and finally at the top is save taxes. Another way to look at it is that the most important goal is at the bottom and the least important is at the top. This myth which I will call The Rockefeller Myth, about Trust Based Estate Planning focuses on SAVING TAXES AND EXPANDING WEALTH. If you reflect on what is important to you, I would suggest, from my own experience and from talking with One of the most common questions I am asked is “How clients over the much money do I have to have before Estate Planning years, is that and the use of a Trust makes sense?” There are many the old variations of this question but you get the drift. What I am being asked is whether or not the individual has enough assets, to create enough taxes, to take the time and money to establish a trust based estate plan. What we are dealing with is the old myth that only the Rockefeller’s, Kennedy’s, etc… need Estate and Trust planning. This theory suggests that somehow only the truly wealthy, aka a Rockefeller, would need such estate planning. This has been shown to be indeed false. How can I rebuff this myth? Well, one tool I have used for a number of years, is a planning pyramid. You may have seen one before, for many advisors over the years have used one. Just a quick look at the pyramid will show that the base or foundation is protecting you the individual, followed in order by protecting your family,preserve your wealth, Attorney Frank A.

Estate Planning Rockefeller myth is toppled by this new and improved planning pyramid. It is not just about saving taxes, but what is most important is planning for you and your loved ones. The “foundation of the pyramid” drives the issues which are what should drive my clients estate planning needs, which is where trust centered planning emerges as the preferred approach for a great number of people REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE ESTATE. This again is what I see people being driven by to do estate planning. It’s about you and your family and the concerns that arise. It’s about taking care of you and your loved ones. It may well finally get to saving taxes, but that is not where it starts. That should never be the first concern, when people realize, through education, what can be done through estate planning. This is not to say the will-centered planning is still not the right choice for some clients, but as a recent article in the Wall Street Journal stated, the number of households that had established trusts nearly doubled from 3.8 million to 6.8 million in over five years in the late nineties! And that number continues to rise. However, many Americans still fail to plan at all. As I have stated in a previous article 60% of all Americans have NO estate plan (will or trust based). There is not enough space in this article to talk about all the issues which are generated by the foundation of the NEW planning pyramid above (Me & My Family) but I will mention a few of them. Clients discover that trust planning can provide asset protection for their heirs from such things as creditors, divorces, second marriages and bad financial judgment in addition to planning in advance for illness and mental disability, avoiding living probate and keeping personal financial details confidential. So, the next time you are thinking or talking with someone about estate planning and the “how much money question” comes into play, remember the NEW planning
pyramid which focuses on powerful ways of controlling your assets during your life and leaving your assets to your heirs so that they are protected! If you have any questions, please contact our office or go to our website at www. fmcclurelaw.com.

HEALTH Turkeys are seemingly everywhere come November, whether it’s at your favorite grocery store, on television cooking shows and possibly hanging out in the wild of a nearby nature preserve. Turkeys are the main course for many holiday dinners, and turkey leftovers also make for popular meals once holidays have come and gone. Although turkeys earn most of their attention during the holiday season, their health benefits can be enjoyed throughout the year. Turkey contains roughly 34 calories and 1 gram of fat per ounce (33 grams) of meat. It is low in saturated fat and is a good source of protein. In fact, just one 3 to 4 ounce serving of turkey provides 65 percent of a person’s recommended daily intake of protein. Protein helps fuel the body and can help a person feel full longer. People who are customizing their diets to protect against cancer may want to include turkey on the menu. Turkey contains selenium, which can promote healthy function of the thyroid and boost the immune system. Selenium also helps to eliminate free radicals in the body through its antioxidant power. Those who need to increase their B vitamin intake also can turn to turkey. According to Livestrong, a serving of turkey has 36 percent of the daily allowance of vitamin B3, which helps process fats in the body. It also contains 27 percent of the RDA for vitamin B6, which helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, among other things. In addition to these vitamins, turkey also is rich in many minerals, including iron, phosphorous, potassium, and zinc. While turkey is healthy, the way it is prepared can affect just how beneficial it is to one’s diet. For example, slathering the meat with butter or dousing it in rich gravies may negate some of turkey’s positive attributes. One of the most popular ways to cook turkey is to roast it. Let fresh herbs and a citrus juice marinade add the desired flavor. Place the turkey on a roasting rack so that any fat will drain to the bottom of the pan. Baste the turkey with fresh marinade to keep it moist. It’s best to cook any stuffing outside of the turkey so there is no potential for contamination by bacteria. Make stuffing healthier by using whole-grain rice, vegetables, dried fruits, and nuts in lieu of a heavy bread base. Leftover roasted turkey can be ground and used to make tacos and burgers or chopped and turned into turkey salad. The possibilities for leftover turkey are endless, especially for cooks willing to try their hands at something new.

LOOKING BACK
SPASSKY'S BLUNDER & FISCHER'S ICY STARE Recalling the match at Reykjavik, 1972
Story by RICK BOOTH A fine new Hollywood movie entitled Pawn Sacrifice was released in September. It chronicles the life of American chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer up to his climactic 1972 match in Iceland with the Russian player Boris Spassky for the title of World Champion. As I watched the film in Columbus in early October, it brought back a flood of memories from 43 years ago; enough, I thought, for an article. I remember Spassky's blunder. I recall catching Fischer's stare. I knew that I had to keep quiet. I remember because I was there. Bobby Fischer was an American chess prodigy, born in 1943, who started turning heads in the chess world in the 1950s as a stunningly talented teenager. At age 14, he became the youngest U.S. Chess Champion ever, a record that stands to this day. In the eight years he competed for the U.S. title, he won it every time, including the only perfect title tournament sweep ever in 1964 — 11 wins, no losses, and no draws. In the early 1960s, Fischer certainly had the talent to become the world champion, but he ran up against a problem with the Russians. As a matter of national pride and propaganda, the Russians had held onto the world championship title ever since the Second World War. Though the title always went to an individual, the rules of the championship matches were such that the Russians, as a statesponsored group, could "agree" with each other on how their games would turn out so that a Russian would come out on top each time. To a large degree, Fischer felt, the championship matches were rigged. So Fischer lobbied strenuously for years to make the world championship a one-on-one contest that couldn't be manipulated the way group tournaments, he felt, had been. Finally, he got his way, and in the summer of 1972, he agreed to play a best-of-24-games match with the reigning champion, Boris Spassky, at Reykjavik, Iceland. As chance would have it, the previous year I had founded the Cambridge High School Chess Club and was serving as its president. Shortly after the match began, my parents made a surprise offer to me to send me to Iceland to watch the remainder of the match in person. They saw it as a chance to witness history and to learn. Dad had always enjoyed chess
and felt it honed critical thinking skills, which is why he'd taught me to play when I was five. Though I was just 16, I gladly took him up on the offer and jetted off to Iceland in mid-August, hoping to find a room somewhere in the thencrowded capital of Iceland. I arrived just in time for game 14. Game tickets were $5 and still available when I got there. The match was being played on stage before an audience in a theater set at the edge of town. Arriving an hour early to be assured of getting a good seat, I was surprised to find the hall nearly empty and the best seats near the stage still up for grabs. Therefore, for that game and all the rest I attended, I made sure my folks got their money's worth by occupying the - Bobby Fischer front row center seat just a few yards away from the two contenders. Little did I suspect the difficulty that the prime seating would cause me a few games hence. By the start of each game, the hall was full. An overhead projection echoed the players' moves so we could study the game in real time while also studying the affect and demeanor of the players on stage. Though watching a chess match might seem a boring exercise, it was, in fact, riveting to try to guess the next move of each grandmaster. I will never, in fact, forget the odd feeling of surprise I had when I watched Boris Spassky make his 27th move in that first game. He had pushed a pawn forward in a move I had already analyzed as a poor choice. Souvenir postcard from Reykjavik, 1972

Spassky's game 14, move 27 blunder (red arrow)
With Fischer's reply, my hunch was confirmed as he captured the little piece at no further cost to himself. The reigning world champ had just blundered away a pawn! And I caught it!! For a high school kid from Ohio, it was an unforgettable moment of internal satisfaction to realize that, for at least one move of one game, I had judged the situation better than a top grandmaster. Other analysts later agreed that move 27 was when Spassky let a possible win slip from his grasp. That game ended in a draw. Bobby Fischer was already ahead in game points by the time I arrived at Reykjavik, so it was perhaps his strategy to play cautiously from that point on, inching toward the championship simply by denying Spassky wins and settling for draws. Indeed, the next six games I watched all ended in draws. I also discovered the big problem with having the front row center seat at one of those later games. Bobby Fischer was legendary for being very temperamental. He was sound-sensitive and often complained about audience noise distracting him. Sometimes he would complain to the referee about it and the overhead chess board projection would be replaced with a flashed call for absolute silence. Other times, Fischer would just turn with an intense stare toward the audience, as if to say, "I dare any one of you to make a sound." Then one day, it happened: the irresistible tickle in the back of my throat that under any ordinary circumstance would have provoked a coughing fit and a quick trip to the nearest drinking fountain! That was the day that Bobby Fischer had perhaps the second most keenly focused, controlled mind in the building. I never fought a cough harder in my life. I was trapped! To get up and leave the auditorium was unthinkable as I was too close to not distract the players by doing so. To cough uncontrollably was even worse. It may have taken no more than five or ten minutes of wrestling with my own nervous system to fight the cough, stay in my seat, and sweat it out with tears silently welling up in my eyes from the struggle, though it seemed an eternity. At least the tears made no sound! That night, as I watched newscasts about the day's game, I was ever so grateful that no one announced, "Fischer Storms from Hall as Spectator Coughs Uncontrollably." I was not on the news! America was still poised to win!! It was wonderful. By the 21st game of the match, Bobby Fischer was within striking distance of the title. A clean win would put him over.
The two players slugged it out for a grueling 40 moves each before adjourning until the next day. It looked like Fischer was winning. And apparently Boris Spassky did enough analysis that night to realize his fate was sealed. The next day when we came to the hall, it was announced that Spassky conceded the game. Bobby Fischer, at age 29, had finally ended the Soviet stranglehold on the world chess championship. The title was his. He'd won it for the U.S.A! In retrospect, that was easily the most famous chess match of the twentieth century. It may long stand as the most famous match in the history of the game. I've ever been grateful that two generous parents in Cambridge, Ohio, thought to send their son there. A quarter century after the Fischer-Spassky match, I was living just outside New York City when I got a call from Dad. He had noticed that the reigning World Chess Champion, Garry Kasparov (once again, a Russian!) would be playing a match in New York against an IBM computer named Deep Blue. Tickets were still available. Would I like to go to one of the games — but this time with him? The instant answer, of course, was "Yes!" Dad hopped an overnight bus to New York and together we watched one of the final victories of man over machine in the world of chess. Kasparov narrowly won the match in 1996. He lost the rematch in 1997. Today the machines are far beyond us in the land of chess. They're catching up in a lot of other areas, too. But still, chess remains an excellent game to hone precision thinking skills and, sometimes, build a bond between father and son. In conclusion, Pawn Sacrifice is an excellent movie well worth watching. I recently had the pleasure of seeing it with my own chess-playing 15-year-old son. It should be available for online streaming soon. EPILOGUE Russell H. Booth, Jr., my father, began writing monthly history articles for Now & Then magazine from its very first issue in 1999. It was his monthly pleasure to pick out an interesting historical plum and share it with others in a few pages of writing. In more than a decade, he produced some 137 articles until advancing age caught up with him, and he turned the column over to me in 2011. I'm only up to 58 articles, all enjoyable to research and write. He advised My father, who loved chess, on many of them, and so took and me, 1960. pleasure in continuing to have his insights reflected in print in recent years. I'll hope to someday equal his article record, if not his compendious knowledge of history, which can never be replaced. Like his interest in chess, writing of things past has become a family tradition. Dad passed away in September, just minutes after attaining great-grandfatherhood. And so perhaps five years hence I'll have the chance to teach my own new grandson the rules of chess and hopefully seed in him a budding curiosity for history. Russell Booth may be gone now, but through his kindness, generosity, and the imprint he made on others, his legacy lives on.

problem will NOT be fixed...the problem is still present.
Zanesville, OH - In a 2002 issue of Neurosurgical Focus, a peerreviewed article was published by a Dr. Michael D. Martin, MD et al, in which the third sentence states: “The disc itself is active tissue that contains significant mechanisms for That article was published by a neurosurgeon and written directly for neurosurgeons.
“The Disc Itself Is Active Tissue...” So what does that really mean to us? It tells us that the disc itself does have a God-given ability to heal and repair if provided the proper mechanisms for selfhealing. There is a specific mechanism inherent in each of the spinal discs called the “pump mechanism of disc nutrition” (see Fig 1). When this mechanism is not working properly, the spinal discs will begin to die causing bulges, herniations, and eventually spinal stenosis. The spinal disc is one of the very few tissues in the body that does not have a direct blood supply for circulation. The only way that the disc gets the circulation of water, oxygen and nutrients for self-repair is via this specific disc pump mechanism. What happens when you decrease circulation in any type of tissue, whether it be animal tissue, plant tissue or human tissue? Exactly, it begins to become weak and begins to decrease.
Symptoms Are NOT The Problem Now the symptoms of pain, numbness, and tingling that most experience with bulging, herniated or degenerative discs are NOT the problem. The definition of a symptom: “something that indicates the existence of something else.: It is just like the dashboard of your car telling you that something is wrong (brake, lights out, engine needs checked, overheating, etc.) Those lights that appear in your car dash are NOT the problem. You can remove the lights surgically or put a piece of duct tape over the lights but the
Let’s take a look at a plant for example...if the leaves on a plant begin to turn brown, would you say that the brown leaves are the plant’s problem? Of course not, the leaves turning brown is just a condition that is telling you that there is something wrong with the plant. The plant is unhealthy and needs water and nutrients. You could spray paint the leaves green but it just covers up the condition. The underlying problem still exists and will continue to produce brown leaves until you fix the actual problem. In your spine, when the pump mechanism of disc nutrition fails, the disc will begin to degenerate and become weak. This weakness in the disc is what produces the bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs. The treatment that is provided at D-C Chiropractic Neurology Center in Zanesville, OH is revolutionary and is specifically designed to artificially re-create the pump mechanism in the discs which allows the spinal discs to heal and repair. The best part of the treatment is that is uses no drugs, no injections, and no surgery. Plus it’s painless and many patients fall asleep while undergoing the treatment. The amount of treatment needed to allow the discs to heal and repair varies from person to person and

SNOW TIRES A WORTHY INVESTMENT
Automotive experts say that snow tires are a worthy investment that improve maneuverability and stopping power on winter roads. Many people leave all-season tires on their vehicles throughout the year, but snow tires may help decrease snowrelated accidents and may even help drivers save money on their auto insurance. Consumer Reports says that autumn is the best time to buy snow tires. As drivers prepare their vehicles for winter, the following snow tire tutorial can shed some light on why driving in winter is safer with snow tires. • Snow tires are particularly helpful for people who cannot wait for roads to be cleared before they begin their days. Snow tires provide greater traction in wet, snowy or slushy conditions. Snow tires provide ample grip and make it easier for cars to turn corners and stop on slick roads. • As the mercury falls, the rubber used to make traditional tires can become hard and less pliable, compromising its ability to grip the road. However, many snow tires are made with a specialized
rubber that remains supple even in very cold temperatures, making it easier for the tire to hug the roadways even when those roads are in poor condition. • People who live in very cold climates and areas where snow and ice dominate the landscape for several months per year often find all-season tires are inadequate and likely to slip. Snow tires make for safer alternatives in such regions. • Snow tires are typically manufactured the previous summer, meaning inventory is finite, according to Consumer Reports. Drivers who wait until the first snowstorm to purchase their snow tires may encounter limited inventory and find it difficult to locate the right size tire for their vehicles. That’s why it’s important to shop early. • Retire snow tires earlier than you would all-season tires. Snow tires lose almost all of their effectiveness once they reach 6/32-inch deep tread. Snow tires can make roads safer for drivers who live in locales with long, snowy winters. They also are ideal for drivers who desire more traction, cornering and stopping capacity on winter roadways.

begins Story by HARRIETTE ORR Photos by CINDY ARENT Marking its tenth year in 2015, the Dickens Victorian Village will come to life in downtown Cambridge, bringing an essence of magic to Wheeling Avenue. One couple’s dream of attracting tourists to Cambridge has been a proven success. While waiting to view the lights at Oglebay Park one evening, Bob Ley and his wife Sue wondered what could be done to attract people to Cambridge. Many of these people waiting in the long line of traffic passed right by Cambridge on their way to see the lights. As they talked Sue came up with the idea of doing something Victorian. The architecture of our buildings, the street lamps and quaint wrought iron benches could lend itself to something connected with the English heritage of the region. Sue was a great fan of Charles Dickens and suggested the idea of creating scenes from his stories. Thus the idea of Dickens Victorian Village was born. In the days that followed Bob retreated to his workshop in the basement and created a mannequin that could be posed. Made from wood 2x1s it was very crude but gave the idea of what could be created. Sue and he went through her Charles Dickens books and Bob, being the artist he is, came up with sketches of scenes that could be recreated. Next Bob took his mannequin and sketches to a meeting of Cambridge Main Street. They were excited by the idea and encouraged Bob to go ahead. As he spoke to different service clubs Bob was met with the same enthusiasm. The project took off with donations pouring in and volunteers coming from everywhere. Seed money of $2,000 was obtained from an Urban Development Action Grant. Bob Brunner of Mid-East Career and Technology Center was asked if his students would build the wood frames. When asked how many would be needed he was told around a hundred. Can you just imagine his reaction? Several weeks later one hundred funny looking wood frames were built with the work being donated by the students. The first models Bob made did not have faces. Martha Jamail and the Eastern Ohio Art Guild came on board and sculpted heads with faces painted to resemble real people. Martha experimented with different brands of material to make the heads and at one time had heads in her freezer testing their weather hardiness. It takes 20 or more hours to produce a finished head. Each application of material must dry before the next is added. Some of the mannequin heads have been commissioned to portray local notables and for several years a contest was held with the winner having their face created for placement on a mannequin. Volunteers scoured thrift shops and collected donations

of clothes and shoes to dress the figures. In the early years the clothes were sprayed with Marine Varnish to make them weather proof. This did not prove to be the thing to do. The varnish led to mold and caused the satin and cotton materials to shred like paper. The costume design team has found that upholstery material, wools and polyester hold up best in our wet blustery winter weather with no added preservative. The Victorian figures appeared on our streets for the first time in 2006. The mannequins were assembled and then stored in the Armory at the city park. We soon outgrew that space and moved into Robert’s Mens Store. While the mannequins were out on the street one winter night Robert’s burned to the ground. Edge Tech offered space in their factory and the mannequins were stored there until the factory needed the space for expansion. The Rogovin family stepped up in 2011 to provide the new and current home for the mannequins generously providing space in their building on Woodlawn Ave. that was once home to Universal Pottery. Here the Restoration Team along with the Costume Design Committee work year round to prepare the mannequins to be street ready by the first of November. They work in the heat of summer and the cold of winter. It takes at least 80 hours to create one mannequin and then sometimes a much longer time to find the right props and accessories. The wood frames are wrapped in bubble wrap and carpet padding. They are stuffed with peanuts wadded paper and plastic bags. All of this is taped together with duct tape. The team has found they must use the bubble wrap with the bubbles on the inside or the figure gives the appearance of having a bad case of cellulite. Clothes are made to fit the forms using donated items and many times the talented seamstress sew new clothes to fit the forms. Hands and fingers are made with 16-gauge wire. Fingers are formed of batting and duct tape and the hand shaped in the same way so that it may be stapled onto the frame. Men’s shoes are cut on a saw to make them fit properly. The scenes are placed on raised platforms so they are visible from the street and each platform is skirted with white plastic. A great deal of planning and research go in to the creation of the different scenes. The team strives to dress the characters in authentic looking costumes with accessories that would be worn during the 1850’s. Take for example “Out for a Ride.” Horseback riders are outfitted with jodhpurs, riding crops, hunting horn and riding boots. The ladies of the day rode side saddle so the seamstress had to make a long skirt that kept the ankles and feet covered at all times. The team goes online and
pours though books to research what they need. This year’s display offers 93 scenes containing 167 figures. New to the family is Billy Singer’s parcel delivery cart. Billy was a son of slaves. His father was a hack driver and died young. Billy lived in Cambridge with his mother and ran a package delivery business for many years back in the fifties. Everyone knew him. He was a gentleman of great respect who drove a little ford truck that was always spotless with a sign on the racks that advertised his delivery business. A sponsor wanted a scene in memory of Billy. We couldn’t use his truck so the team went to work and came up with the design for a handcart. Our carpenters built and then fitted the cart with packages and items that might have been delivered in Victorian time. We have had a few problems with vandalism but most of the scenes are well lit with floodlights and surveillance cameras. One lady in front of the Scottish Rite Theater disappeared and was gone for several days. No one saw her go or seemed to know anything about her but then one morning there she was, sitting on her bench like nothing had happened. She never told where she had been so no one knows. Move out will take place on Sunday morning November’s first. Teams of trucks and trailers will line up at Dickens Universal and our tenth year will begin. By evening most scenes are set up and lighted. Now the magic begins. People travel from near and far to experience our Dickens Victorian Village. The streets are soon teaming with people eager to partake in the themed weekend events, carriage rides, scavenger hunts, Steeple Walk, and view the nightly light show at the Courthouse. We invite you to visit Cambridge during this magical time and see why we are the most unique tourist attraction in the mid west. The official holiday kick-off happens at 6:00 p.m. on November 2 at the Courthouse with a free music and light show. Visit www.DickensVictorianVillage.com to see the many activities the Village offers. Include a stop in the Dickens’ Welcome Center at 745 Steubenville Avenue to visit the gift shop or don Victorian clothes for a photo with Charles Dickens. You can reach Harriette Orr at dhorr@roadrunner.com I am sorry to say during the writing of this article the cofounder of Dickens, Sue Ley, lost her battle with cancer passing away Sunday October 4th. Sue you will be missed. This article I dedicate to your memory and in your honor may this be the best Dickens year yet.
Mannequins are dressed and anxiously waiting for move out this year.

Materials:
*Cheap Cermaic Mug (The cheaper the better! A thin glazed mug works best.) *Oil-based paint pen (I recommend Painters®) *Rubbing Alcohol *Baking Sheet *Aluminum Foil
Directions:
Clean mug throughly & let dry before starting. The design will not stick to dust particles and may smudge if not clean. You can paint any design you would like. Many designs are available online at your finger tips. If you mess up, rubbing alcohol will easily remove the marker. Go over your design again to ensure it sticks and let dry completely. (About 10 minutes.) After designing, put your cup right side up on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet in case the glaze sticks to the sheet. Once in the oven, set temperture to 450°F. When oven reaches temperture, set timer for 30 minutes. When timer goes off, shut oven off but leave your mug in the oven until cool to touch. Then your mug is finished! **Hand Wash Gently Only! Colors may fade over time. Colors other than black may darken.

Dreams Coming True Dave Adair's Story
Story by BEVERLY KERR Ever since Dave Adair was a small child, he loved trains. As a youngster, he frequently visited his Slavish grandfather, Dzeda, who lived near the train tracks in East Cambridge. Dzeda also worked in the Klondyke and Black Top coal mines in Guernsey County so he would tell Dave stories about the coal cars as they rolled by. It's easy to see how Dave became interested in trains and coal mines. Dave's secret wish was that someday he would be able to have a caboose of his very own – a real one used on the train tracks. When Dave was about forty, his wife, Ellen, took a ride with him a couple weeks before Christmas. They stopped in Senecaville to look at a caboose that belonged to Herb Tipton. That caboose had been used on the B&O Railroad. When
they arrived and looked over the caboose, Ellen said, “Merry Christmas!” Dave couldn't believe his ears, and looking back on that day said, “It was the biggest shock of my life.” Of course, she told him it would be his Christmas and birthday present for years to come. Little did she know at the time that she was only starting a vast train collection that today fills their home's yard. Over the years, Dave has narrowed his interest to Guernsey County trains and coal mining history. Almost everything in his collection came from Guernsey County. Every item and labeled picture is special to him, but he doesn't have any favorites. They are all part of history. Since there wasn't any place nearby that had room for his coal mine and train collection, Dave decided to build his own

depot at his home and turned it into a museum. Nothing pleases him more than to sit down in his depot and tell stories about the coal mines and trains that were in Guernsey County long ago. But getting him to talk about himself was not an easy task. Now that Dave is retired, most of his time is spent volunteering, while spreading the word about Guernsey County history. His slide shows have been popular attractions for years. He spends time volunteering at the Guernsey County Historical Society, Cambridge Amateur Radio Association, Coal Miners Museum at Byesville, and at various nursing homes, giving people a chance to tell their stories. He says, “It's better to give than receive.” While he claims to be “an ordinary Joe”, the history he has collected makes him a special person even though to him it's

just a hobby. He feels it's important to make people happy, and that's what Dave does best as he shares his stories and makes people smile. Through it all, his main goal is to preserve the history of Guernsey County trains and coal mines. Soon Dave will be writing in this magazine some stories about the coal mining towns of Guernsey County to help keep their history alive. Dave and his family, thirty people in all, recently went on a short vacation. Where do you think they went? They headed for the train tracks in West Virginia and rode the Tygart Flyer. He's still living his dream. Contact Beverly Kerr at gypsybev@hotmail.com and visit her website at www.GypsyRoadTrip.com.

Story by BEVERLY KERR For two months each year, the spirit of Charles Dickens thrives in the city of Cambridge. One of the favorite treats of Victorian England was chestnuts. At a party in his famous novel, “A Christmas Carol”, Dickens wrote “the chestnuts and the jug went round and round.” So perhaps Charles Dickens would have enjoyed visiting a chestnut farm just north of here in Carrollton. Back in the time of Charles Dickens, cones filled with hot roasted chestnuts were sold on street corners in merry old England. Not only did this provide a tasty treat, but holding the cone kept the hands warm as the aroma of roasted
chestnuts filled the street. Here in Ohio, Greg Miller's father began a hobby of growing chestnuts and various nut trees back in the 70s after a blight destroyed nearly all the American chestnuts in the early 1900s. When Greg returned home from college, they noticed that the Chinese chestnuts were the most productive of the trees they had planted. That began the Empire Chestnut Co. They encouraged others to plant chestnut trees too, and in 2010, with four other growers, formed Route 9 Cooperative, headquarters for

the only commercially grown chestnuts in Ohio. This is no small operation. From 90 acres of chestnut trees, over 60,000 pounds of chestnuts are harvested annually. Chestnut trees thrive in sandy loam soil. Greg said, "They grow best on a mountain or hillside where the soil is

so poor you can't raise your voice on it." For those familiar with chestnuts, harvesting can be difficult and even painful. When the prickly burr falls from the tree, it normally pops open revealing three or four chestnuts inside. However, the inside of the chestnut hull feels as smooth as velvet, thereby, cradling the nuts. Even with today's modern technology, chestnuts are still picked by hand. Greg usually has 100-200 people picking each year. They range from individuals to Amish families and community youth groups. When people ask him about the possibility of picking, he tells them, “If you don't mind
bending down to pick up a penny, this job might be for you!” It takes over a thousand nuts to fill a five gallon bucket so picking requires a lot of patience. The Millers favorite way to eat chestnuts is "raw". They feel they can easily tell the difference in quality by eating them this way. Their daughter, Amy, also enjoys them ground into flour for pancakes. A delicious treat! One gourmet goat cheese producer purchases chestnut leaves to wrap the cheese for better flavor as it ages. Orders on the internet for 50,000 pounds of chestnuts before the season began show the need for more growers. Chestnut trees are a long term investment as it takes about seven years to get your first chestnuts, while their peak will be reached in fifteen to twenty years. But at $3 -5 a pound wholesale, it may be worth the wait. If Dickens' Cratchet family lived here, they would be certain to place an order to make stewed chestnuts for Thanksgiving dinner. Perhaps at payment of $11 a bucket, they would even help pick them. Route 9 Cooperative is located near Carrollton on Route 9 south of town.
