Beautiful Day: Pioneer Celebrates 57 anniversary; Great Turnout Vulcan’s turf... Eclectic Foliage... Sensitive Swine. Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com

LOST! We were stranded six miles from Stockbridge, ten miles northwest of Chelsea without a crow to fly to lead the way. A crow was just a do-do bird, so we opted to take up the handheld Univac, which knows all, tells all. Destination: The 57th Annual Pioneer Day, held at the Waterloo Historical Society.

11 year old Emma Medlock demonstrates how to use a period wash tub with an antique washboard. Medlock was one of myriad reenactors at Pioneer Day this past Sunday. The weather was breezy and cool, but sunny. Hundreds braved the mid-October height of autumn.

Having been directed to the field that was the parking lot, it seemed copasetic to leave the Univac in the glovebox. Everyone was happy. Pioneer Day was about the past, but the past was NOW, a trip into yesterday, the answer to the question about ‘the way we were.’ There were many ways and means beneath the celestial October mid-month splendor. Entering the perimeter, visitors hand a five dollar bill for access privileges. You just had to see it, to see it. Horse drawn wagon rides, farm-pied pies, along with cookies, sundry and various, from the bake house, and apple cider. There was more to Pioneer Day than food, though the food tents were full, beneath the bracing wind that rattled the leaves and led many to button up. Rosie cheeks, too. More than 50 vendors and demonstrators set up in the area. Swallowtail Pottery, hand-made soap, basket weaving, quilts. The list goes on. “For 59 years, Pioneer Day has been an annual event at Waterloo,” said Arlene Kaiser said, who was dressed in period décor. She demonstrated items in the kitchen, which centered around the iron stove—the heart of any frontier

lodging— with it’s pipe, the flatirons, and a wrought iron pan on one of the burners, full of sausage and apple slices. People stared at the dish and drooled as the baked bread rose and filled the small kitchen with breezes through the windows. Still, there was work to be done. Emma Madlock, 11 spent a long time in one of the barns washing the laundry with a washboard, and wrung the water from socks and other garments into a pail. Emma smiled brightly. The day proved to be a time travel’s bonanza. Music in the air set the soundtrack beneath the shimmering foliage, the leaves shining in brilliant oranges, russets, lemons and leftover greens. Mike Evens took up his banjo, a high and lonely sound. Several talented ensample, including the Creek Fiddlers. Oddities abounded, namely Gilbert, a Vietnamese Pot-bellied pig. Sweet to behold, but its handler asked onlookers to refrain from “bacon jokes,” because, the owner said “He’s sensitive.” Well, Gilbert thrust his snout and smiled for the camera. Hard labor at the museum consisted of men under fire in the kiln, Vulcan’s

trade. Byron Gaverly hung around the hot house as he finished his lunch. “40 years,” Gaverly said. Is it hard? he was asked. “It is for me now—I’m deaf in my right ear. It does give you a change of perspective.” Kaiser and her daughter, Tracy Collier are already laying out a plan for Pioneer Day 2020. Over the years, the barns have been moved, if not renovated. Kaiser said that the origins of Waterloo date back to the end of the Civil War, if not then, the antebellum. America. “ We’re always improving,” Collier said as she hurried to another exhibition. “It’s good that we have this awesome autumn day. We’re loving it.”

On Bagpipes, aliases and The Odd manner He strolled up the embankment in the early afternoon. A traveler, John Downing, aka “Angus O.F”, situated himself in view of the myriad visitors at the Waterloo Farm Museum this past Sunday.

Angus OF, aka John Downing, plays the bagpipes at the 57th Pioneer Day at the Waterloo Area Historical Society this past Sunday. Between piping, Downing tells stories about Ireland, Scotland, and England.

The occasion: the 57th anniversary of Pioneer Day. A man dressed in a kilt and wearing wool knee socks is easily recognizable. A Jackson native, Angus maintains ties with all things Gaelic, though he didn’t necessarily claim to be from the

Irish Sea, an arm of the British Islands, stretching through England, Ireland, and Scotland. “I’m close to Ireland, Scotland, too. I just spent two weeks in Ireland.” Children stood nearby, their eyes fixed on the kilt and the impressive collection of pipes attached to the ‘bladder’, which must be full of air, otherwise the bagpipe would be as flat as a flat tire. “What a character,” said a curious onlooker. Wait until they met Gilbert, Vietnamese Pot-bellied pig. Angus knows his history, and extols the importance of unity on those cold islands in the North Atlantic. Never minding the politics of destruction, music was in the air on the heavenly Sunday afternoon, the pies, the wrought iron transformed into home decorations. Thor’s hammer beat the cadence, while Angus lent lyricism to Paradise Found. Bagpipes are simple instruments played by complex musicians. When you hear that wide, mournful sound, it’s likely that you’ll never forget it. It’s like listening to the baying of a pack of beagle dogs waiting to shed their collar to hit the trail with their noses to the ground. The three pipes in the instrument aren’t that different from a saxophone or a clarinet, but it’s unlikely that you’ll that you’ll hear “Amazing Grace,” with those instruments, except in a music store in Dublin or Edinburgh.

Historical Intersection Part 3 Raymond Tucker Cordani rtc@thegrasslaketimes.com Herod Antipas was in hot water. There are other dimensions to apart from his relationships with Jesus and John that shaped the New Testament. Antipas was born the same year as the Christ, 4 BC, and he outlived Jesus by about 10 years; as a baby, Jesus escaped the sword of Herod the Great—by fleeing with his family to Egypt (Mt 2:13-15) and Antipas was protected by his father. So-named “that fox” by Jesus for his avariciousness and guile, Antipas found himself engaged in a border dispute over the city of Damascus at the time that Saint Paul met Jesus outside the city walls and began his public ministry as the Apostle, an historical intersection. War broke out between Antipas, whose territory was Galilee and Peraea, and Aretas IV, ruler of the Nabataeans, because Antipas divorced his first wife, the daughter of Aretas, to marry Herodias. Aretas was enraged at the dishonor brought upon his household. Revenge simmered in the mind of Aretas for years, ten in fact, until he mobilized and vindicated himself, his daughter, and his kingdom. Semi-settled Arabs, potent in means, astute in politics, they played an important part in those turbulent days, The Nabataeans (Arabs) are among the peoples listed by Saint Luke in the Acts of the Apostles that received the Holy Spirit before Paul brought the Word of God into Arabia (Acts 2:11). They were disposed to receive salvation and waited for Paul in the late 30s when he arrived to fulfill his divine commission and, apart from the Damascenes

in the marketplace immediately after his vision, were among the first people that Paul evangelized. Once realizing, the Apostle made Aretas his chief convert. It is unclear whether Paul moved the mind and soul of the despot. Antipas married the princess and he “lived with her a long time.” Her name was Phasaelis but little is known about her—she doesn’t appear in the Bible, nor is she in the apocryphal literature. The marriage was a political union that Antipas entered into as a young man in order to protect his territory against Arab raids. In AD 27 Herod embarked on a diplomatic mission to Rome to visit Tiberius Caesar (d. AD 37). Antipas stayed with his brother and fell in love with Herodias. It was in honor of the emperor that Antipas built the city known as Tiberius. Herod constructed a castle but the natives of Tiberius denounced it as “unclean” because it was built on the site of a cemetery. The ruler had other things on his mind than to worry about public opinion, for in Rome he found the love of his life. Antipas and Herodias agreed to divorce their spouses so that they could marry, but before Antipas returned from Rome, Phasaelis learned of her husband’s plan to repudiate her. She returned to her father at Petra, the capital of Nabataea, a city hewn from the blood-red rocks of the region. Phasaelis discovered the affair, and desired him to send her to Machaerus, on the border of the dominions of Aretas and Herod, without informing him of her intentions. Herod sent her there, thinking his wife had not perceived anything; now she had sent a good while before to Machaerus, which was subject to

her father, and so all things necessary for her journey were made ready for her by the general of Aretas’s army and by that means she came into Arabia, under the conduct of the several generals, who carried her from one to another successively; and soon she came to her father, and told him of Herod’s intentions. How did the Princess learn of Antipas’s plan to divorce her and send her back to her father in Petra? She heard the preaching of the Baptist outside the walls of her husband’s palaces. John relentlessly proclaimed the word and positioned himself as Antipas’s adversary. Like his father, Herod the Great, Antipas was Jewish in religion but not devout. His steward Chuza was the husband of Joanna, one of the prominent women of Galilee who followed Jesus and supported him and his disciples with their own means—in Joanna’s case, money no doubt earned by Chuza working for Herod. The gospel refers a number of times to women accompanying the Lord. Saint Luke names of three: Mary Magdalene, to whom Christ appeared outside the sepulcher after his resurrection; Joanna, “a lady of status,” who gathered with other women at the empty tomb on Easter morning, and Susanna. Joanna was also one of the women whom Jesus exorcised. The role of these women consisted in helping Jesus and his disciples, displaying their gratitude by cooperating with and financing Jesus’s ministry. Chuza was a man of some income. Luke records that Antipas, was perplexed because it was said that the Baptist that he had been raised up. “John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I have heard such things?” Herod sought an audience with Jesus.

The first people to whom the angels announced the birth of Christ were shepherds at Bethlehem. The first to behold his resurrection were the devout women who followed Jesus, a sign of God’s preference toward simple-hearted and sincere souls (Mt 11:25). Joanna, a handmaiden of the princess, was one of the women—together with Mary Magdalene, Salome, Susanna, and others— who accompanied Jesus and the Twelve on his teaching tour through Galilee (Lk 8:3). Chuza and Joanna served in the court of Herod and understood the preaching of John who drew attention to Herod’s courtship with Herodias. The word of Jesus’s ministry as proclaimed by the Baptist outside the walls of the palace was impossible to ignore. The truth penetrates even the strongest garrisons. Antipas sank further into depression and confusion at the events taking place in his kingdom over which he seemed to have no control. “Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening and he became greatly perplexed because some where saying, ‘John has been raised from the dead’; others were saying, ‘Elijah has appeared’; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’ ‘John I beheaded, Antipas said. ‘Who then is this about whom I hear such things?’ And he kept trying to see him” (Lk 9:7-9). Everyone did, and this heightened the king’s curiosity of Jesus and the Baptist.

Bruno Say hello to sweet and silly Bruno. He’s a Lab mix, about 2 years old. Bruno is an active guy that just loves people. If there are children in the home they should be ages 10 and up. He was brought to CHS as a stray, so we don’t have any history for him. Bruno would benefit from some training. Since he loves both people and treats that makes him relatively easy to train. We don’t know if he gets along with other dogs, but here at CHS if you are interested in adopting a dog you have to bring any dogs currently in your family into CHS to meet the dog. Please note: sometimes animals featured in the newspaper may have been adopted by the time the newspaper reaches the stand, but, at CHS, we always have more! You can check our website for up-todate available pets:www.chspets.org. We’re open 12-6pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
