Historical Society’s
October Program
The life of Jacob Bailey provides a study of social mobility in eighteenth
century America. Bailey
was born and grew up in
very humble circumstances in the town of Rowley,
Province of Massachusetts Bay. Despite his poverty, he found the means
to acquire a college education, to join the ranks of
the educated elite, first as
a school teacher, then as a
Congregational minister,
to marry well, and then
to become an Anglican
minister in the new town
of Pownalborough, now
Dresden, Maine. Among
Bailey’s most important
patrons was Dr. Silvester
Gardiner who founded the
town that carries his name
and established its Anglican (Episcopal) Church.
However, with the Revolution, the protection and
patronage of Gardiner
and the Anglican Church
collapsed.
Convinced
the Revolution would
fail, Bailey led his family into what he expected
would be temporary exile
in Nova Scotia; there in
Anapolis Royal he died in
1808.
James S. Leamon, a
native of Massachusetts,
graduated from Bates
College, received a PhD
in American colonial history from Brown University and returned to Bates
to teach courses in early
American history and in
historical archaeology until his retirement in 2000.
He has written articles,
contributed chapters, and
co-edited several books
on early Maine history.
His book, Revolution
Downeast, was published
by University of Massachusetts Press in 1993
and by the same press,
Leamon published The
Reverend Jacob Bailey,
Maine Loyalist in 2012.
Copies of the book The
Reverend Jacob Bailey
will be available following the talk for $25.00
each.
The Kennebec Historical Society Program will
take place on Thursday,
October 16 2014, at 6:30
p.m. at the Christ Church,

Life Among Giants
A visit by awardwinning novelist Bill
Roorbach will be the
highlight of a monthlong series of events this
fall celebrating Lithgow
Public Library’s annual
community-wide reading project, A Capital
Read. This year’s A
Capital Read selection is
Roorbach’s Life Among
Giants, a “big-hearted,
big-boned story” that
follows a young man’s
larger-than-life
quest
to unravel the mystery
surrounding his parents’
deaths.
This funny, exuberant
novel captures sevenfoot-tall David “Lizard”
Hochmeyer’s search for
his parents’ killers and
his entanglement with a
wild assortment of celebrities along the way.
The Boston Globe said
of the novel: “Consistently surprising and truly entertaining …. Part
thriller, part family drama, Life Among Giants
is deliciously strange
and deeply affecting.”
Life Among Giants
won the 2013 Maine Literary Award for fiction,
and HBO is currently
developing a multi-year
series based on the novel.
Roorbach will discuss
Life Among Giants in an
informal book group at
Lithgow Library at noon
on Thursday, October
23. That evening, the
author will speak at 7
p.m. at Bangor Savings
Bank’s Senator Way
location.
Afterward,
Roorbach will greet
readers and sign copies
of his books. In addition
to the author’s visit on
October 23, the library
will offer events related

Fall Fishing Options
V. Paul Reynolds
With the Maine woods in
full autumn bloom, there is
no finer time to wet a line:
no bugs, less water traffic,
cooling waters and moving
fish. Fall fishing options
abound. But the regulations
vary from water to water.
Check your lawbook closely. Here are the waters that
our regional fisheries biologists suggest you consider,
and they know where the
fish are!
Region A – Sebago
Lakes Region
In southern Maine, there
is no shortage of late season fishing opportunities. It
used to be if you wanted to
fish late in the season, you
would fish the tidewater areas of the Mousam and the
Ogunquit, but now anglers
have a variety of choices.
“We have made a concerted effort to identify
and target fall fishing waters,” said IFW Fisheries
Biologist Francis Brautigam, “for over three years,
we have been stocking the
Upper Mousam below the
outlet of Mousam Lake,
the Lower Royal below
the dams in Yarmouth, and
expanded opportunities on
the Presumpscot for the entire year, not just the upper
area. And all these rivers
have very good access.”
Many of these waters receive stocked trout not in
only in the spring, but a fall
stocking as well. Waters
that see a higher number of
anglers are stocked periodically through the fall right
into December.
“With the Mousam, Royal, and Presumpscot, we
pretty much have covered
the region,” said Brautigam.
If you want to fish area
lakes and ponds, you may
want to wait until early
October. The department
is now stocking larger fish
in the fall, which seem to
survive better in lakes with
bass and pickerel.
Anglers who like to fish
for landlocked salmon
ought to look for areas with
current. On Thompson
Lake, the set of culverts
near the heath is always a
popular option. Shore angles may want to try Crystal Lake for rainbows off
the town beach.
Region B – Central and
Midcoast Area
Anglers who want to
spend a productive day
fishing ought to try a canoe
trip down the Sebasticook
River.
“The Sebasticook has
been superb. Anglers are
catching multiple bass in
excess of 20 inches,” said
IFW fisheries biologist Jason Seiders, who added the
Burnham section has been
excellent. “Surface lures
work well, as well as anything that imitates a juvenile alewife.”
Further north on the
Kennebec River, catches
continue to be outstanding.
Anglers are having a lot
of success in the Bingham
section, particularly bouncing nymphs off the bottom
throughout the day.
A little lower on the
Kennebec, there’s still
browns to be caught in
the Shawmut area, and the
stocking truck will be delivering more brown trout
to the Shawmut reach soon,
once water temps cool.
Region C -- Downeast
Anglers are still boating
a good number of togue and
salmon in the region, as the
water is still stratified with
a defined thermocline in
many of the region’s lakes.
“There’s still some very
good fishing to be had,”
says IFW fisheries bi-
ologist Greg Burr. “It’s a
beautiful time of year to be
out on the water. Temperatures are getting cooler and
there’s not as much boating
activity.”
Along with salmon and
togue, some anglers are still
catching a good number of
white perch. Anglers can
find them in deeper water,
schooled up. With surface
water temps still in the low
70s, bass anglers are still
recording good numbers of
catches.
Of course if it’s fall salmon fishing you are thinking, most anglers think of
Grand Lake Stream. As the
water temps begin to cool
down, salmon start moving
into the river, setting the
stage for some fantastic fly
fishing.
Region D – Rangeley
Lakes
There is a myriad of fall
fishing opportunities in the
Rangeley region, particularly if you enjoy fishing
in rivers. The Kennebago,
Magalloway, and the Rapid
are all very well known for
their fall trout and salmon
fishing.
“The cold mornings
are cooling down the rivers, and fish are starting
to move around, thinking
about spawning,” said IFW
Fisheries Biologist Dave
Howatt. “It’s a great time to
be on these rivers.”
And if you don’t feel like
wading, don’t forget about
the lakes and ponds.
“Lake fishing often gets
overlooked this time of
year, but lakes and ponds
can be very good. Fish are
starting to stage in front of
the rivers, and you can find
quite a few in the deeper
pockets close to the rivers,”
said Howatt, who added
this time of year, you are
likely to only see a few
boats instead of the dozens
you might encounter early
in the year.
While many waters will
shut down on October 1,
there still are waters open

Keeping Secrets
John McDonald
The first time I went to
England I remember asking the woman who ran the
bed and breakfast where I
stayed, Mrs. Howell, how
the English handled all the
rain they got almost every
day. First she wanted to
make it clear that it wasn’t
just the English
people who were
getting rained
on every day
but the Irish,
Welsh and Scots
as well. Then she
poured
herself
more tea, nibbled
on a scone and went
on about how all the
rain over the years had
turned the British Isles
into one of the most lush
and green places on the
planet.
Once she got going
about weather in the British Isles she just couldn’t
stop. She said the British
never plan outdoor events
ahead of time and never
bother listening to weather forecasts on the “telly”
because no one knows
from one minute to the
next what the weather in
will be, least of all people
who insist they DO know.
So what do you do? I
asked. How do you handle
all the rainy weather?
She said: If we look
outdoors and see the sun
is shining we drop everything and run outdoors
and have a picnic right
then, because we never
know how long it will be
before another picnic situation returns.
I was surprised to hear
Mrs. Howell talk about
her picnics that way because she didn’t look like
the type of person who
had ever done an unplanned or spontaneous
thing in her life.
Anyway, I thought of
Mrs. Howell
l a s t
week
when BOTH my
almanacs – The Farmers’ Almanac, published
in Lewiston, and The Old
Farmer’s Almanac, published over to the west in
Dublin, N.H. – arrived
here at Storyteller Central
within hours of each other. How they did that I’ll
never know!
Why do you get both
The Farmers’ Almanac
AND The Old Farmer’s
Almanac? I can hear some
of you ask. The obvious
reason is I like to check
and cross-check and then
check again to see if their
weather predictions are
anywhere near close to
each other. They’re often
closer than you think.
Both almanacs say their
weather-prediction formulas are secret and can
never be revealed to any-
one outside a close circle
of trusted weather predictors – and I can respect
that. And the system must
work because after several hundred years of almanacs, the secret weather
predicting formulas are
still – as far as I know –
a secret. At least I don’t
know any more about
their formulas
than
I
did
when I first started
reading almanacs over 40
years ago. In fact, I bet if
the secret to the atomic
bomb had been given to
these secretive almanac
people instead of the supposed secret-keeping bureaucrats in Washington,
the Russians would still
be trying to figure it out.
I do know that almanac
publishers – like people
who call into all-night
radio shows – are always
talking about sunspots
and how these magnetic
storms on the surface of
the sun can affect everything from the weather to
our mental state.
Years ago I had a shop
teacher named Mr. Leighton who could predict the
weather as well as anyone I’ve ever known. He
was a Down Easter who
had gone to sea a few
years and then returned to
Maine to build boats for a
1936-2014
while. Eventually he got a
teaching certificate.
On rainy mornings we’d
often ask Mr. Leighton
what the weather would be
like in the afternoon when
school got out. He’d look
casually out the window
at his
thermometer,
then check
his wind
gauge,
barometer, and
t i d e
chart,
think for
a minute and
then say, This’ll all blow
out to sea by noon. And
you know what? It almost
always did.
As far as I know Mr.
Leighton never worked
for any secretive almanac
outfit. But I also know that
he never offered to share
his predicting secrets, either.
In most cases all people
want to know around this
time of year about the
weather is: Will tomorrow
be sunny or not? Because,
as Larry the Cable Guy
used to say: A day without
sunshine is - night.
And he’s right. n

The Healthy Geezer
By: Fred Cecitti
Q. What exactly is a
“charley horse” and why
do I get them in my legs
at night?
According to the American Heritage Dictionary of
Idioms, the term “charley
horse” was first used in the
1880s by baseball players to describe a muscle
cramp. No one knows the
true origin, but the dictionary says: “Among the
more likely theories proposed is that it alludes to
the name of either a horse
or an afflicted ball player
who limped like one of the
elderly draft horses formerly employed to drag
the infield.”
Geezers are more likely
to get charley horses because of muscle loss that
starts in our 40s. And your
remaining muscles don’t
work as efficiently as they
used to. Studies show that
about 70 percent of adults
older than 50 experience
nocturnal leg cramps.
A cramp is an involuntary contracted muscle
that does not relax. The
common locations for
muscle cramps are the
calves, thighs, feet, hands,
arms, and the rib cage.
Cramps can be very painful. Muscles can cramp for
just seconds, but they can
continue for many minutes.
Almost all of us have
had muscle cramps, but no
one knows for sure why
they happen. However,
many healthcare professionals attribute cramping
to tired muscles and poor
stretching. Other suspected causes are dehydration,
exerting yourself when it’s
hot,flat feet, standing on
concrete, prolonged sitting, some leg positions
while sedentary.
Muscle cramps are usually harmless. However,
they can also be symptoms
of problems with circulation, nerves, metabolism,
hormones. Less common
causes of muscle cramps
include diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, hypoglycemia, anemia, thyroid and
endocrine disorders.
If you experience frequent and severe muscle
cramps, see your doctor.
The use of some medications can cause muscle
cramps. For example,
some diuretic medications
prescribed for high blood
pressure can deplete potassium. Too little potassium,
calcium or magnesium in
your diet can contribute to
cramps.
Here are some pointers for treating a cramp
yourself: stop whatever
you were doing when you
got the cramp, massage
the muscle and stretch it
slowly, apply a cold pack
to relax tense muscles.
To prevent cramps, do
stretching exercises especially for those muscles
that tend to cramp, and
drink water regularly. If
you are exerting yourself
in heat or sweating for
more than an hour, you
should drink fruit juice or
a sports beverage. For recurrent cramps that disturb
your sleep, your doctor
may prescribe a medication to relax your muscles.
Saint Dominic Academy
Maine's Catholic PreK-12 College Preparatory School

If you have nocturnal
leg cramping, ride a stationary bicycle for a few
minutes before bedtime.
The following stretching
exercise is good, too. You
should do it in the morning, before dinner and
before going to bed every
night:
Stand about 30 inches
from a wall. Keep your
heels on the floor, lean forward and put your hands
on the wall. Then, move

Medicare Annual Open
Enrollment
Another year is winding its way down and low
and behold, Medicare
Open Enrollment is right
around the corner. With
all the priorities we have
day to day, it is easy to
forget that there is an incredible opportunity each
year with Medicare Open
Enrollment. If you are like
the average senior here in
Maine, you are likely receiving a daily mailbox
full of advertisements trying to sway you to change
to a new Medicare Plan.
While the insurance carriers may think it’s an
easy decision to make a
change, it’s not that easy.
Doing the paperwork
for a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage Plan may be a
relatively easy process but
it’s not always easy to sort
through the pile of options available from year
to year. Maine has historically not had that many
options available, but in
2015 more companies
have come to the state to
offer a greater selection
of benefits, lower premiums, and co-pays. While
we all want more options
and expanded benefits, we
are not always ready to
make the change because
what we have may already
work just fine.
Every year is the same,
you open your mailbox
or grab the stack of pamphlets and flyers off the
counter and you sit down
to sort through the mess.
Marketing
companies
spend billions to get your
attention, and a full mailbox of shiny brochures
may do just that. Some of
these flyers really stand
out, and some may not,
of course it’s not until
you read them do you see
the subtle differences that
most plans offer. Many
of those plans really are
comparable, but everyone
has a reason to be on one
plan or another.
Now that you have
sorted through the mess,
tossed out what you
thought wasn’t interesting, you have likely found
a few things that have
peaked your interest. Now
what do you do? This is
the yearly task that most
seniors face and for most
of you, it’s more than
probable that you have
given up and you just
throw all that paper you
get in the mail right in the
circular file. But hold on a
minute, because doing the
status quo for this year’s
Open Enrollment may
not be the best choice and
maybe, just maybe 2015
is the year for a change.
Here’s what you need to
know:
·More companies available in more counties in
2015
·Expanded Medical networks
·Premium Changes
Ok, so now that you
know some of the highlights, the real question is
what those companies are
and what are the details of
those new benefits? While
it’s not appropriate to go
into details here, there
are ways to sort through
the mish mash of options
and get right to the answers. Here is a short list
of items to consider when
doing your Medicare Plan
review.
·Premium: Does my
current premium fit my
budget? Are there other
options?
·Co-pays: Does my current plan offer the best and
lowest possible co-pays?
·Doctor/Specialist Network: Do I have a large
network of Specialists and
doctors to choose from?
·Additional Benefits:
Are there any additional
benefits that a new plan
may offer?
While the list above is
not a comprehensive list,
it certainly is the best
place to start for most seniors to considering while
contemplating a change.
Now I’m sure It’s entirely possible that as you
read this you be asking
yourself; Why do I need
to change at all? Well I
submit for your consideration that to ignore the
changes in the market for
2015 may just be a lost
opportunity. If you really
feel paralyzed and fearful
that change is dangerous,
I suggest that you find an
expert to help you sort
through the piles of options and make sure that
a solid and meaningful
Open Enrollment benefits
checkup is done. There is
a dearth of competent Insurance Agents out there
that specialize in the senior market; they spend
countless hours training to
remain on top of the newest options available. Find
a qualified agent, and take
advantage of the changes
for 2015! n

Hershey, Pa. Offers More Than Chocolate
Page 9
The National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg.
The Pennysylvania Amish area is located a short drive from Hershey.
The Antique Automobile Club of America Museum is a
car-lovers fantasyland
Story by Victor Block
Many people think that
all Hershey, Pennsylvania,
has going for it is a reputation as Chocolate Town,
and that nearby Harrisburg
offers even less. Many people are wrong.
My wife Fyllis and I
visited the area on a threegenerational family gathering. Not surprisingly, our
grandchildren thought the
sprawling Hershey Complex was heaven on earth.
At Hersheypark, they
couldn’t run fast enough
from ride to ride, clambering aboard as many as they
could including several of
the 12 roller coasters.
Other attractions have
more appeal for the older
generation. That includes
the story of how Milton
Hershey, after several failed
attempts to found a candy
company, struck pay dirt –
or, rather, chocolate – when
he began coating caramels
with the sweet substance
in 1894. Turning out milk
chocolate in bars, wafers
and other shapes, and devising innovative mass production techniques to lower
the cost, his company transformed what had been a
luxury item for the wealthy
into a treat affordable to all.
All three generations enjoyed a sightseeing trolley
ride around the Hershey
campus and little town.
Our grandchildren were
especially delighted by the
Hershey Kiss lights that
line some streets, and even
more so by on-board chocolate tastings.
The attractions are very
different in the Amish area
located a short drive from
Hershey. Residents there
have merged comfortably
into the local community
while still maintaining their
customs and culture.
They continue to use
horse and buggies rather
than cars for transportation
and have no electricity in
their homes. Their strict
dress code dictates modesty
and solid colors for women
and girls, and dark clothing
and a black or straw hat for
men and boys. We learned
why cars are forbidden (because they can carry Amish
people too far from their
family and community)

and the reason that education is compulsory only
through the eighth grade
(the Amish life is centered
around farming and cottage
industries).
The peaceful life of the
Amish contrasts starkly
with the bloody story of
the Civil War that is dramatically portrayed at the
outstanding National Civil
War Museum in Harrisburg. Information-packed
videos and realistic life-size
dioramas relate the story of
the fighting. More telling
to me were letters home
written by soldiers that put
a human face on the Civil
War, and its terrible consequences.
Also tragically moving
are displays of shackles,
metal collars and other
implements that were used
to subjugate slaves. Not
far away stands a realistic
depiction of a slave auction, with the words of the
auctioneer describing men
and women as so much
property interspersed with
other voices denouncing
the institution of slavery as
immoral.
A varied list of other
sightseeing options also
awaits visitors to the Harrisburg-Hershey area. The
Antique Automobile Club
of America Museum is a
car-lovers fantasyland. It’s
packed with beautifully restored vintage automobiles
dating back to the 19th
century, plus buses, motorcycles and motorbikes.
My favorites were a
shiny 1895 Benton Harbor
car which boasted a top
speed of 23 miles per hour,

Spruce

High School (SMHS) in
Jay and the WashburnNorlands Living History
Center in Livermore are
one of five Maine community “teams” recently
selected to receive a Local & Legendary: Maine
in the Civil War grant.
Funded by the National
Endowment for the Humanities and awarded
by the Maine Historical
Society and the Maine
Humanities Council, the
grant enables local historical and educational organizations and libraries to
explore Civil War history
in multidisciplinary ways
and investigate questions
of that era’s motivations,
loyalty, identity, and politics at the community
level.
The five community
teams chosen this year,
consisting of Bethel,
Livermore-Livermore
Falls- Jay, Pittsfield,
Rumford and Scarborough will each receive
$2,000 and in-kind assistance from the Maine Historical Society and Maine
Humanities Council to
develop an online exhibit
on the Maine Memory
Network’s Civil War site
hosted by Maine Historical Society, support community book discussions,
and a public performance
piece. Visit www.civilwar.mainememory.net

community projects.
Maine in the Civil War Grant
Spruce Mountain High
School’s and Norlands’
participation in the Local & Legendary program
creates a stronger connection as an academic
alliance and is a unique
approach to undertaking
the project and completing the terms of the grant.
Students taking a new
class at SMHS, entitled
“Our Hands on History,”
will complete the majority of the project. Created by history teacher
Susan St. Pierre, students
taking the class will have
the opportunity to do the
work of a historian. Under the guidance of Norlands and school staff,
the students will identify the collections at the
Norlands to digitize and
prepare an online exhibit,
tentatively titled “Livermore in the Civil War: A
Hand in Transforming the
Nation” that will touch
upon Livermore’s and the
Washburn family’s participation in the Civil War
and the effects of the War
on the local community.
The students will do the
research, learn how to organize their findings, and
to present their conclusions in a manner that is
appealing and interesting
to others. Additionally,
students will take part in
the community book talks
to allow them to see that
learning is a lifelong experience and that much
can be gleaned from the

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
Consider the Macrobiotic Diet
Jodi Cornelio
Live Long, Live Well
Jodi R. Cornelio, AS, BA, MBA
Nutritionist, Personal Trainer
and Motivational Speaker
[email protected]
We all know that a diet
high in saturated fats and
sugars is not a healthy
choice and you won’t find
these things in a macrobiotic meal plan. While
the American Cancer Society stops short of recommending macrobiotic
diets to prevent cancer
due to the lack of scientific evidence, it does say
that researchers believe
eating a plant-based, lowfat, high-fiber diet lowers
the risk of cardiovascular
disease and various types
of cancer. Still many believe that the macrobiotic
lifestyle is a healthier,
holistic choice at decreasing the risk of cancer and
other diseases.
The macrobiotic diet is
about balance in life. It
encourages eating regularly, listening to your
body, staying active and
maintaining a positive attitude.
Whole grains, vegetables, and beans are the
mainstays of the diet. Locally grown vegetables
make up 20% to 30%
of your daily nutrition.
Some of these cancer
fighting plants include
broccoli which can be
grown locally and is loaded with sulforaphane that
are said to help stop the
spread of cancer.

Brussels sprouts are a
good choice and are high
in fiber and defend against
free radicals.
Kale has calcium, vitamins A and D and also
ward off free radicals.
Onions, scallions, shallots, chives are easily
found at any farmers market and are a great compliment to any salad or
meal and have shown in
recent studies to reduce
the risk of some cancers
(according to: Galeone
C, Pelucchi C, Levi F, et
al: The American journal of clinical nutrition
2006;84:1027-1032).
Seaweed and other sea
vegetables are encouraged on this diet.
Five percent to 10% of
this diet is reserved for
beans and bean products
like tofu, miso, and tempeh and nuts and these are
the sole source of protein
for this diet. Brazil nuts
are your best nuts for selenium which kills cancer
cells and repairs cell damage.
A dramatic fiveyear study conducted at Cornell
University and the
University of Arizona showed that
200 micrograms
of selenium daily
- the amount in
two unshelled
Brazil nuts
- resulted
in 63
p e rcent
fewer
prost a t e
t u mors, 58
percent
fewer colorectal cancers, 46 percent fewer
lung malignancies, and
a 39 percent overall decrease in cancer deaths.
Fresh fish and seafood
is allowed on this meal
plan. Salmon,
mackerel,
t u n a ,
halibut,
s a r dines,
shrimp
a n d
scallops are
great for
the
blood
with omega 3
fatty acids and
can help reduce the
risk of certain types
of blood cancers.
Locally grown
fruits and some
condiments
like
pickles are allowed
several times a week
to help with that sweet
tooth craving and rice
syrup can be used as a
sweetener. It is the only
sugar allowed.
The macrobiotic diet
discourages dairy products, eggs, poultry, processed foods, refined sugars, and red meats, along
with tropical fruits, fruit
juice, and certain vegetables like asparagus, eggplant, spinach, tomatoes,
and zucchini.
Soda, coffee, and strong
alcoholic beverages are
frowned upon as well as
anything highly refined,
processed, or chemically
preserved.
If you are up for a challenge and a holistic way
of eating, try the macrobiotic diet for the month of
October in recognition for
those who are struggling
with breast cancer.

Nothin’ But Small Talk…Drive Safe Around our Trailers PLEASE!
Jess Small
My 1,000-pound horse
loads onto my trailer because she trusts me. She
trusts me to keep her safe
and to arrive at our destination stress free. She is
not a boat or an ATV or
camper that is stationary
but is a live animal that
has to balance on all four
legs to prevent her from
falling forward or sideways as I make a turn or
stop at a light. I have to
slow down extra early before a stop sign and take
it easier around turns and
sharp corners. I am always looking ahead; staying alert and paying attention to what other vehicles
are doing around me. My
horse is my most valued
possession and I expect
the other drivers on the
road to respect that my
live horse, my precious
cargo can be severely hurt
of killed because of their
inattention, impatience or
carelessness.
Drivers on the road
need to leave a large distance between all horse
and livestock trailers, a
minimum of three truck
lengths, this gives me the
time I need to stop softly
without my horse being
thrown around or falling.
When headed up a hill
or incline, usually I am
going as fast as I can go
while hauling my trailer.
If you tailgate me because
you think I am going too
slowly, realize that if I
have to stop or hit the
brakes suddenly you will
be going thru the back of
my trailer where my horse
is. The same goes for
windy, twisty roads with
lots of turns and curves, I
will go slower to protect
my horse and help them
stay balanced. Please
don’t tail gate!!!
If you think I am going to slow and feel the
need to pass my truck
and trailer in a bad spot
or with vehicles coming
towards us, know that my
rig weighs close to three
tons. I cannot swerve nor
do I want to put my horse
at risk because of your
impatience.
If you pull out in front
of me at the last second
just so you won’t be behind me then I have to
hit my brakes hard and
throw my horse into their
chest bar, causing them
to slip, lose their footing,
get bounced around and
possibly fall down. I have
known horses that have
been in trailer accidents
and they have been killed,
severely hurt or have been
traumatized and won’t get
on a trailer ever again.
The next time you see a
horse trailer or are stuck
behind one please think
of the special animal that
is on board, give them lots
of space and be patient.
Our horses are fragile
so please don’t put their
lives in danger. I do not
get road rage but the only
time I have laid on my
horn at another vehicle
involved them pulling
out in front of me while
I was hauling my trailer
or when they have passed
me with oncoming traffic.
Please drive smart and
think of what you are affecting in my trailer. If
you don’t know how hard
it is for my horse to stay
balanced as swerve to
avoid you or slam on my
brakes because you pulled
out in front of me…come
for a spin in my trailer
with your hands tied! n

October 2014

October 31st is nearly
here, and soon the streets
will be filled with costumed revelers eager to
get their share of the freeflowing candy and other
prizes. Year after year,
trick-or-treaters don their
costumes and parade from
home to home. But have
you ever wondered where
this and other traditions
began?
Trick-or-treating
and
wearing costumes seem
like odd traditions to those
unaccustomed to Halloween. Halloween customs
are actually a blend of
Celtic, Catholic, Pagan,
and ancient Roman traditions. It is thought that
Halloween celebrations
date back to roughly 800
to 600 BC, when they
originally were observances of the harvest season and nature before the
arrival of winter, which
marked the barren state of
the landscape. The Celtic
festival of Samhain was a
major influence on modern day Halloween.
The Traditions of Halloween
On October 31, Celts
also believed the door
to the underworld was
opened and could let in deceased spirits. Feasts were
held and place-settings
were left for deceased
relatives, as they were believed to return home for a
visit. In addition to friendly spirits, mean spirts also
could cross over. Bonfires were lit to ward off
spirits, and extra candles
would be used in homes
and churches to keep evil
away.
Even the custom of
wearing costumes has its
roots in keeping evil spirits at bay. Costumes and
masks were worn to confuse bad spirits and frighten them so that they could
not bestow misfortune on
the more fortunate. People
also wore masks and ventured out after dark so that
envious ghosts who were
cold and outside could
not recognize residents of
warm and inviting homes.
The
trick-or-treating
custom may have blended
origins. Druids believed
the dead would play tricks
on mankind during Samhain, causing destruction
and panic. To appease the
spirits, people would give
the dead food and other
treats.
Another custom, called
“souling,” can be linked
to Halloween as well. Early Christians would walk
from village to village
asking for “soul cakes,”
which were square pieces
of bread with currants.
The more cakes received,
the more prayers the faithful would promise to say
on behalf of the dead relatives of the cake donors to
expedite a soul’s passage
to heaven.
Irish trick-or-treating
customs may be traced
back to collecting supplies
door-to-door for the festival of St. Columbkille. n
