1,200 turkeys in a single week

BY JUDY DIVELBISS/KNOX COUNTY CITIZENBroerman founder Julius Broerman and his son-in-law, Josiah Hulbert, in the turkey barn among some of the young turkeys.

BY PENNY SMITHknoxcitizen@ohcommedia.com

The Broerman family has been growing andprocessing turkeys for our local Thanksgivingdinners since 1991. The state inspected farm islocated at 11729 Leedy Road, on the north sideof Fredericktown.

The turkey farm is currently operated byCheyl Broerman and her children, son, Mike,and daughters, Sarah (Julius) Hulbert, andJenifer (Trenton) Wine. Sadly, the head of thefamily, Julius Broerman passed away this pastJanuary.

Besides hormone, cage, and antibiotic freeturkeys the Broerman’s also raise corn and soy-beans on their 800 acre farm.

This year, the family and many extra handswill process 1,200 turkeys the week prior toThanksgiving.

Fresh turkeys can be ordered fromBroerman Turkey Farm by calling (419)886-2141, by e-mail at broermanturkey-farm@gmail.com or check them out onFacebook — Broerman Farms. Turkeys aretypically picked up on the Tuesday andWednesday before Thanksgiving.

Most of the Broerman turkeys will weighbetween 15 and 22 pounds with a fewsmaller and larger birds available on a first

come first served basis.Unsold turkeys are frozen and a variety of

other turkey products are made available yearround. They include smoked turkey breasts,ground turkey, summer sausage, marinatedturkey, and turkey jerky. Gift baskets are avail-able for Christmas or other occasions.

Turkeys are native to North America andabout 5.6 millions tons of turkey meat is pro-duced each year. Of this, more than 60 percentis produced in North America.

Although domesticated over 500 years ago, itwas only during the 20th century that turkeyswere exploited for their meat. Prior to this,turkeys were selected for their plumage andexhibited in poultry shows.

The female (hen) is smaller than the male(tom or stag), and generally less colorful. Theyhave wingspans of almost 6 feet. The lifespan fora turkey is 10 years. Pure breed turkeys take

about 4-5 months to grow to full size. The henturkey takes 16 weeks to mature completely, andaverages 8 to 16 pounds in weight. The tomturkey takes about 19 weeks and weighs any-where from 16 and 24 pounds. Larger tomturkeys can weigh up to 40 pounds. A breedertom turkey can generate up to 1,500 poults(chicks) in a hen’s six-month laying cycle.

Commercial turkey breeding hens produceabout 45 live poults each year. Turkey eggs take28 days to hatch.

Turkeys are fed a mixture of corn, wheat andsoybeans that are ground up to look like granola.The birds grow quickly so farmers spend a lot oftime adjusting feeding rations to match thegrowth stages of the birds to reach the requiredmarket weight. Water is always providedthroughout the barns so they may drink freely.

Broilers and hens are used for the whole birdmarket. Toms and heavy toms are for the furtherprocessed market and some are sold as wholebirds.

So for the freshest Thanksgiving turkey youhave ever had on your dinner table, give theBroerman family a call to reserve your freshjuicy turkey.

BY GARY BROCKgbrock@recordherald.com

“So,” people who don’t know whatthe life of a farmer is really like mayask, “What do farmers do during thewinter between fall harvest and springplanting? Long vacation? Winter job?Catch up on TV?”The truth, of course, is that the

life of a farmer doesn’t end after har-vest and start again in the weeksbefore spring planting. A farmer’s lifeis 365 days a year.It is true that the winter months

are different. But that is all. Just…different.Any farmer will tell you that from

the time they finish the fall harvestuntil the day they begin to preparethe fields for planting in early springthey are working on some farm-related project.Maybe they are checking out new

seeds, deciding what seeds will bebest for the next season and whatnew hybrids are ready for theground. Then they must place theirseed orders. And they had better notwait until anywhere near the lastminute or they might be out of luck.And they must order their fertilizerfor the next year.Then there is all the farm equip-

ment.Once harvest is done, the trac-

tors, combines and other equipmentisn’t just driven into a barn to sit forthree or four months.Winter is the time to do repairs

on the trucks and tractors andequipment. It is time to order and

install replacement parts. It is timeto refurbish everything and “winter-ize” all of that expensive farm equip-ment. And all that tender lovingcare takes lots of time.So the winter months may be as

busy as any other time of the yearfor farmers.COSTLY FARM BILL DELAY?Speaking of winter issues, the

failure to pass the expired federalFarm Bill may be costing to not onlyfarmers but American consumers aswell.

The Tampa Bay Tribune recentlyreported that milk prices per galloncould skyrocket if a new bill isn'tapproved this winter.When the Farm Bill expired Sept.

30, so did the Milk Income LossContract program. It was a safetynet providing payments whennational milk prices drop in contrastto feed costs. When the new farmbill did not pass this year, and theold one expired, the MILC programhalted and was not replaced.And the paper reported that this

will impact dairy farmers across thenation.

The Tribune reports that without afarm bill by the end of this year, anold permanent law would take effect.The Congressional Research Servicesays the government would be man-dated to set crop and milk prices at“parity” — the purchasing power ofthose crops in 1910-1914, when,according to a 1930s study, a farmer'searning power and purchasing powerwere equal.MILC, and other dairy support

programs, have prevented impositionof parity. But it could be imposed in2013 if a new farm bill isn't passed.U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom

Vilsack said that could raise theprice of milk in stores to $6 a gallon.Here in southern Ohio it is about $3a gallon average. The prices of milk,cheese and butter are all on theincrease.So let's hope that after the elec-

tion, Congress will return for a “lameduck” session and include in it's pri-orities passage of a new federal FarmBill. Partisan concerns stalled it thisfall. Let's hope that will be put asideafter the November election.

All Ohio counties designated as primaryor contiguous natural disaster areasFor ACRES

COLUMBUS — Steve Maurer,the State Executive Director for theUSDA Ohio Farm Service Agency(FSA) reminds producers about theU.S. Department of AgricultureSecretarial designation on Sept. 5,2012. All of Ohio’s counties weredesignated as primary or contiguousagricultural natural disaster areas dueto drought and excessive heat thatoccurred from Feb. 1, 2012 and con-tinuing.

This gives all qualified farm opera-tors in the designated areas theopportunity to file an application forlow interest emergency (EM) loansfrom USDA’s FSA, provided eligibili-ty requirements are met. Farmers ineligible counties have eight monthsfrom the date of the declaration toapply for loans to help cover part oftheir actual losses. FSA will considereach loan application on its ownmerits, taking into account theextent of losses, security availableand repayment ability.

USDA FSA has a variety of pro-grams, in addition to the emergencyloan program, to help eligible farmersrecover from adversity. Other pro-grams available to assist farmersinclude the Emergency ConservationProgram, Federal Crop Insurance,and the Noninsured Crop DisasterAssistance Program.Interested farmers may contact

their local FSA county office for fur-ther information on eligibilityrequirements and application proce-dures for these and other programs.

BY PATTY RICE GROTH/INQUIRER CORRESPONDENTToni and Dale Norwood are seen here showing off okra growing atSpringwood Valley Farm near Galion, Ohio. Toni encourages picking thepods earlier — smaller than expected — and preparing them without fry-ing them. Find instructions online at theproducelady.org/2010/07/fresh-roasted-okra-a-southern-specialty.

A Family organic traditionBY PATTY RICE GROTHpattyricegroth@gmail.com

Good stewards of theland, educators in their com-munity, innovators of tech-nology. These phrases onlybegin to describe Dale andToni Norwood who own andoperate Springwood ValleyFarm in rural Galion, Ohio.On just over seven acres ofslightly rolling land, theNorwoods grow organically-nurtured produce, children,and innovative ideas.Daughters Electra and

Serena are home-schooledand participate in many ofthe couple’s outdoor activi-ties. Two wonderful childrengrowing up in the home oftheir grandfather and great-uncles built for family patri-arch Van Norwood in theearly 1970s. Dan and BarbaraNorwood had already built ahome for themselves andtheir family in Crestlinewhen Van and the formerFlorence Maglott purchasedthe property on Nazor Roadon the northeast side ofGalion. With help from hissiblings and others, a nicetwo-bedroom brick home waserected on a rise not far offthe road.Innovative ideas include

experiments with the soil aswell as the continuing pur-suit of Dale’s degree in elec-trical engineering fromDeVry University. In a work-shop and music studio build-ing behind the house, Dale isdeveloping proprietary bio-medical user recognitiondevices and software.Van and Florence were

gardeners, using the land togrow produce for their ownand family use. Dale says hegrew up eating organically,before it was a popular move-

ment. They give credit forsome of their early organicgardening beliefs to localgrowers Lynn and KenChapin. Active in certifica-tion programs for official sta-tus of organic farming, theChapins are knowledgeablegrowers who passed on to theNorwoods their experienceand success as organic farm-ers.“It’s all about making

soil,” says Toni. You have tofeed the soil to grow ahealthy plant, which in turnwill give hearty produce at itsfull nutritional capability. Alarge plot of ground atSpringwood Valley Farm isdedicated to composting, cre-ating rejuvenated soils for thefields and greenhouses/tun-nels.Before they moved onto

the farm in 2001, Toni andDale enjoyed a small veg-etable garden from whichthey shared naturally-raisedproduce with their neighbors.Anxious to begin life as full-time farmers, even beforemoving into the home onNazor Road, the couple wasworking on the farm. “Full-time” has not been achievedyet, but that goal remains.Dale believes he has dis-

covered the best direction inwhich to plant his rows totake best advantage of natu-ral water drainage on theproperty. It is part of being a“good steward of the land,”taking advantage of naturalirrigation while controllingerosion.In every culture around

the world, people gatheraround food. Families need toknow and teach childrenwhere their food comes from,say the Norwoods. Whenone knows their food camefrom a local farm, handled by

a person you can know, somany worries which canaccompany large commercialoperations are eliminated.“People are so far away

from their food,” say theNorwoods of producebrought in from around thecountry to local grocerystores. “Organic” foods whichmust be trucked to Ohiofrom California and Floridaare defeating the purpose oforganic farming. The pro-duce has to be picked beforeit has fully matured in orderto survive the trip, naturalresources are burned up get-ting it here, and nutritionalvalue is lost in the interim.Eating locally can create a

kind of “safe zone.” Areafarmers markets are animportant way to create asafe zone, and the Norwoodsdemonstrate their commit-ment to the concept by man-aging the North Side FarmersMarket on Ohio 598 on thenorth side of Galion inCrawford County. The mar-ket is registered with theOhio Department ofAgriculture (ODA) and ven-dors welcome inspectorswhen they visit the market.Nearing the end of its secondyear, vendors at North SideFarmers Market continue tolearn how to work withinODA regulations. What canoften be an adversarial rela-tionship between producersand ODA has developedinto one of mutual support ofthe venture in Galion.“All communities could

be served by a farmers mar-ket,” says Toni.That leads to what they

see as their role as “educatorsin their community.”Helping folks grow for them-selves is an important part ofa farmers market, say the

Norwoods.Teaching someone

how to successfullygrow their own pro-duce using organicmethods helps every-one. Backyard gardenshelp create food securi-ty for families. Takingone’s excess produce toa local farmers marketbuilds food security, asafe zone, for one’sneighbors. What theywould like to see herein Crawford County isa community gatheredaround healthy grow-ing and eating.Is it possible for

Galion to become aself-sufficient agricul-tural community? Isthat possible while

staying within theODA’s rules and regu-lations?Yes, it is, say the

Norwoods, especiallywith the widespreadpresence of the can-ning industry in Ohio.There are three non-profit companies whichwill help a small pro-ducer develop a smallbusiness plan, identifyappropriate facilities,and such. Ohio ishome to a number ofbusinesses which willprepare your produceyour way and label itwith your name. Largerlocal producers couldfind the fruits — andveggies — of theirlabors on the shelves of

local grocers with a lit-tle affordable profes-sional help. In eithercase, a good place tostart is with the OhioDepartment ofAgriculture at (614)728-6201.Springwood Valley

Over 134 years ago,Ebanus Whiteman(Whieman) came to theU.S. from DanKerode,Kurhesson Germany.Gottfried Weidman wasborn on Dec. 12, 1828 inErckshansen, HesserGermany.In 1854 Gottfried trav-

eled from Bremen aboardthe “Julia” on Nov. 17,1854 to New York alongwith his wife, ChristinaPafenbach, from TangerodeHessen, Germany.Together they journeyed

through Pennsylvania toSandusky, Ohio and con-tinued along the PortageRiver by oxen to Elmore,Ohio where they purchased40 acres of land in 1856.In 1887 Gottfried also

purchased 100 acres onWalbridge and FostoriaRoad from Joshua Curtice.

The town now calledCurtice, Ohio was derivedfrom Joshua Curtice.In the late 1890s

Gottfried changed his lastname to Whiteman.On Feb. 10, 1902,

Gottfried bought 160 acresfrom Joshua Curtice’swife, Mary Curtice. Thepurchase price was$10,500.On June 28, 1911, the

property on WalbridgeRoad was sold to his son,Edward Whiteman for$15,000. On March 17,1945 the property wasdeeded as a warranty deedfor a dollar from GlenWhiteman. In the early1930s an oil well was dug,but it now no longerexists.On June 5, 1947, a

warranty deed was issuedto Carl and HazelWhiteman for 160 acres.With the passing of

Carl and Hazel, the prop-erty was then deeded totheir children: Harold,Kenneth, and DorothyWhiteman Gackstetter.On Aug. 5, 2005,

Dorothy Gackstetterreceived the great honor ofbecoming the recipient ofthe Century Farm Award.The award was present-

ed by President of theOhio State AgriculturalSociety, Mr. Fred Dailey.The sign is present on thebarn along with the recog-nition of GottfriedWeideman as the original

owner.The barn was construct-

ed in 1902 and there areseveral trees that remain inthe wooded area near thebarn. The barn was kept ingood condition by paintingand in 1970 a new polebarn was erected and usedto store machinery andequipment.The house on the farm

was constructed in 1910.Gackstetter stated, “Thehouse still has some of theoriginal windows, thatopen with rope and pullies.The original molding stillhangs in the main bedroomwhich is made from walnutand oak.”In the barn is the origi-

nal milking parlor andmilk house, where Dorothyand her family milkedcows. The milk was thenpicked up by Cherry GroveDairy in Toledo, Ohio.During the early years

Dorothy helped her fatherand brothers load hay,shock wheat and corn.“I was really honored to

drive the team of horses ormules to pick up bundlesof wheat. Back then, haywas cut and a large loaderdropped it onto a wagonwith “slings” on it whichwere used to unload intothe hay mow,” saidDorothy.The wheat shocks were

brought up close to the

barn where it was put intothe thrasher and the strawwas blown into a largestraw stack. The horsesusually pulled the binderthat originally cut thewheat and tied it intoshocks.Basic crops raised in

the mid 1800s were: oats,wheat, corn, soybeans andalfalfa. As of today, soy-beans, corn and wheat arestill planted.The house was renovat-

ed in the 1960s and againin 2002. The original struc-ture remains.One of Dorothy and her

families biggest fear is thatthe land will be split andsold after they pass. “Most

of the time this is done forthe money and not thememories,” Dorothy said.The family remembers

when land sold for $1 anacre and some now arewilling to pay $6,000 peracre for farmland.Dorothy concluded,

“We are the sixth genera-tion on this land and hopeto keep the farm runningas a productive farm, as wehave done all through theyears.”

Effects of 2012drought will

impact beef andpork prices, supplyBY RANDA WAGNEReditor@newscolorpress.com

Grain prices and sup-plies are on every produc-er’s mind these days,thanks to the devastatingdrought that consumedhalf the nation this grow-ing season.

As has been well publi-cized, corn is used in 75percent of the productsAmericans consume oruse, whether directly orindirectly. While theincrease in packaged andprocessed foods may take10-12 months to realizetheir full potential, earlierimpacts for beef, pork,poultry and dairy are like-ly.

Beef cattle and hogs eatcorn; so do chickens anddairy cattle. Lots of it;especially when, in thecase of cows, pasturage isnot available either. If aproducer cannot afford tofeed livestock and water isin short supply, he will cullhis herd.

Short term, increasedmeat supplies decreasemeat prices: good for con-sumers, right?

Yes, but the key wordshere are ‘short term.’When producers can’tafford to feed stock andsell off half or all of a herdin September, it meansproduct supplies will

decrease later this year andinto 2013. That decrease,in turn, brings higherprices with it.

Since about 80 percentof agricultural land in theU.S. experienced droughtin 2012, few producersescaped its consequences.According to the UnitedStates Department ofAgriculture, ‘severe orgreater drought impacted67 percent of cattle pro-duction, and about 70-75percent of corn and soy-bean production.’ As aresult, over 2,000 U.S.counties had been desig-nated as disaster areas bythe USDA as of Sept. 12.

A significant increasein grain prices is evidentlocally by reviewing num-bers from ProducersLivestock in CrawfordCounty. Auction prices onOct. 6 of last year were (bybushel): corn $5.80, beans$11.07, and wheat $5.91.

This year on Oct. 4,those same grains were:corn $7.42, beans $15.01and wheat $7.96.

We all know supply anddemand influence prices ofany product. Retail foodprice inflation has aver-aged 2.5-3 percent eachyear on average for thepast 20 years, says theUSDA. Next year, howev-er, they anticipate foodprice inflation to be

between 3 percent and 4percent, with increasescentralized in animal prod-ucts: eggs, meat, and dairy.They note since July, eggprices have risen markedlyand beef prices have fallenmoderately.Beef

As of Sept. 11, approxi-mately 74 percent of cattleareas were affected bymoderate or more intensedrought. Feedlot operatorsare paying lower prices forcattle because of high feedcosts and increased supplyand lower prices of cattlebeing sent for slaughter.

Americans love theirbeef. But what goes intoraising a beef or dairy cowdirectly affects the con-sumer’s wallet. Reports of‘alternative feed’ havebeen making their wayinto the news.

An article from Reutersin late September reported‘brokers are gathering updiscarded food productsand putting them out forthe highest bid to feedlotoperators and dairy pro-ducers who are scramblingto keep their animals fed.’

The article said ‘cattle-men are feeding virtuallyanything they can gettheir hands on that willreplace the starchy sugarcontent traditionally deliv-ered to the animalsthrough corn.’ This

includes ‘cookies, gummyworms, marshmallows,fruit loops, orange peels,even dried cranberries.’

Ki Fanning, a nutrition-ist with Great PlainsLivestock Consulting inEagle, Nebraska, toldReuters a ruminant (acow) can take those typeof ingredients and turnthem into food.”

Animal nutritionistscaution operators must becareful to follow detailednutritional analyses fortheir animals to make surethey are getting a healthymix of nutrients. But thereport stated ruminant ani-mals such as cattle cansafely ingest a wide varietyof feedstuffs that chickensand hogs can’t.

Some operators use dis-tillers grains, a byproductthat comes from the man-ufacture of ethanol. Othercommon non-corn alterna-tives include cottonseedhulls, rice products, potatoproducts, peanut pellet.Wheat “middlings” thatcontain particles of flour,bran, and wheat germ, arealso used.

Bran Dill, a spokesmanat Hansen Mueller Grainout of Omaha, Nebraska,says it all comes down tofat, sugar and energy.“That’s all it is,” he said,adding demand is high.

DairyHigh feed costs are

expected to result in a smallreduction in milk produc-tion in 2013 and slightlyhigher prices than this year.This is likely to affect allmilk products includingcheese, yogurts, and prod-ucts using milk solids.Pork

The USDA reported inOctober hog farrowings (lit-ters of pigs) are expected todecline in the second-halfof 2012 and the first threequarters of 2013 because ofhigh anticipated feed prices.Pork production for 2013 isexpected to be below both2011 and 2012 at 22,905million pounds.

Media reports inSeptember of a pork short-age in early 2013 havesince been dismissed bythe American FarmBureau Federation as“baloney.”

“Pork supplies willdecrease slightly as we gointo 2013,” Farm Bureaueconomist John Andersontold the Associated Press.“But the idea that there’llbe widespread shortages,that we’ll run out of pork,that’s really overblown.”

However, feed makesup about 60 percent of theexpense of raising a pig.

“I think we’re going to(still) see pretty substantialliquidations of livestock,”

Steve Meyer, consultant tothe National PorkProducers Council andNational Pork Board toldAP in early October.Meyer guesses that 3 per-cent of the nation’s breed-ing pigs could be sent toslaughter by next March.“And by my estimation,that’s a big move.”Overall

Beef futures rose andpork rose on the ChicagoMercantile Exchange inmid-October. With pricesfor pork and beef expectedto rise next year, butchersare saying that consumerswill have to pay more orget used to cheaper cuts ofmeat.

The USDA affirmsheat stress, higher feedprices, and the potentialfor reduced hog and poul-try inventories continue todampen the outlook forpork and poultry produc-tion into 2013. Whilethere won’t necessarily bea ‘shortage,’ meat priceswill be affected just asreadily as other groceryitems containing soy andcorn.

SINGLESI n A g r i c u l t u r eBY DEVON IMMELTdimmelt@delgazette.com

In today’s fast-pacedsociety, being “single andlooking” can be a chal-lenge.That challenge is often

doubly so for farmers whofrequently work long, physi-cally hard days and live inrural areas where opportuni-ties and venues for socialactivities are few and farbetween.So what’s a single farmer

to do? For some, finding thatspecial someone has come inthe form of Singles InAgriculture, a group thatworks to promote recre-ational and social opportuni-ties for singles who have anagricultural background oran interest in agriculture.The idea behind the

group, which now boasts 11chapters in 24 states acrossthe U.S., appealed toDarlene Foos, who lost herfirst husband to cancer in1986 and was left trying tomanage an 186-acre farm inGalion, Ohio.“I had a good marriage

and hope to get marriedagain, but meeting peoplewith similar interests whounderstood the farminglifestyle wasn’t easy,” Foossaid. “It seems like a lot offarm people just stay home.”Two years later, in 1988,Foos learned about Singlesin Agriculture (SIA)through a farm journal. She

made contact with theorganization and soon foundherself participating in SIAevents. The group organizesinexpensive group activitiesfor its members, includingtours, dances and education-al weekend outings.Foos met Dan while

attending an SIA-organizedsingles dance in MarionCounty, Ohio. The two hitit off, as they say, and mar-ried after a courtship thatincluded numerous SIAactivities. Although nolonger single, the Foosremain involved withSingles in Action — thecouple currently serve as theco-presidents of the organiza-tion’s Ohio chapter. DanFoos also serves as thegroup’s treasurer.“For us, it’s more of a

social group now, but most ofthe members are single.Some are there to find theirsoul mate, others are therefor companionship and totravel,” Darlene Foos said.And the Foos’ are far

from the only success storycoming out of SIA.Robert Hall grew up on a

dairy farm outside of Lima,Ohio and lived there most ofhis adult life. Like DarleneFoos, Hall said he struggledto find available women whowere familiar with andenjoyed the farming lifestyle— traits he hoped to find ina prospective future wife.He first heard about SIA

in 1995 when he read a

newspaper article promotingan upcoming event organ-ized by the Ohio chapter.Hall then began attendingSIA activities regularly, hesaid.But it wasn’t until he

started going to the organi-zation’s national activities,where single farmers meetwith other single farmersfrom out of state, that hemet Sandy, the women hewould eventually marry."We had quite a few

things in common and afterthat I visited her in Iowaprobably once a month forseveral months," Hall said.Ultimately, Hall decided

to pick up roots and relocateto be with Sandy, who hehas since married. The twocurrently live in SouthDakota near Sandy's familyfarm, where they are build-ing their first house together.Without a group like

Singles in Agriculture, Hallsaid, as a farmer, he wouldhave struggled to find a sig-nificant other."It's a different lifestyle

and the weather and seasonshave a larger impact on yourlife. You don’t see as manypeople, ... you're a little bitisolated from other people,"he saidSingles in Agriculture

was formed in the mid-1980s after a single farmersent a letter to a farmingmagazine expressing the dif-ficulties of meeting singlewomen interested in a rural

lifestyle. His letter prompteda writer from the magazineto write a series of articleson the social lives of singlefarmers. The articles becamea popular read and a columnasking single farmers to sub-mit biographical informationto the magazine resulted inmore than 2,700 responses,according to SIA’s website.The magazine’s work

caught the eye of an Iowawoman who ultimatelyhelped to establish Singlesin Agriculture as a nationalorganization. “IowanMarcella Spindler volun-teered to handle correspon-dence from those interestedin forming a singles organi-zation. By the summer of1986, the project had gener-ated so much interest that23 people met in Peoria, IL.to take the necessary stepsto make SIA an officialorganization,” the websitestates.In October of that same

year, Singles in Agriculturewas chartered as a non-profitorganization. The nation-wide organization boastsmembers in 41 states. Ohio’schapter is one of the smallerones. It currently has about30 active members.What separates SIA from

a dating service is the factthat everyone involved has,or is interested in, an agri-cultural lifestyle, Hall said.There is no pressure to datewhile participating in thesocial activities, it's aboutmeeting people, seeing newplaces and having fun, hesaid."I would say, if you're

interested, go and see whatit's about. Check out theactivities and see if there'ssomething you might like,"Hall said."Stay active," Foos

added. "There is someoneout there fo ryou. It's justabout being at the rightplace at the right time andknowing that your not goingto find them sitting athome."For more information

Do you know whatwas on the menu at thefirst Thanksgiving? Are

you even sure you knowwhen and where the firstcelebration occurred?

Few official recordsdetailing an exactaccount of the “first”Thanksgiving in 1621have been discovered,

leading historians andThanksgiving enthusiaststo speculate on the ori-gins of the holiday, aswell as what was on themenu.

According toMayflower History, the

Pilgrims landed inMassachusetts in the latefall of 1620. During theirfirst winter in theAmericas, 46 of 102 ofthe Pilgrims died. Thefollowing year resulted ina plentiful harvest, withthe help from a localnative tribe called theWampanoags. The pil-grims decided to cele-brate with a three-dayfeast that would include90 natives who helpedthe pilgrims survive dur-

ing that first winter.It began at some

unknown date betweenSept. 21 and Nov. 9,most likely in very earlyOctober. There are onlytwo contemporaryaccounts. The first comesby way of EdwardWinslow in a letter datedDec. 12, 1621:

“Our harvest beinggotten in, our governorsent four men on fowl-ing, that so we mightafter a special mannerrejoice together after wehad gathered the fruit ofour labors. They four inone day killed as muchfowl as, with a little helpbeside, served the com-pany almost a week. Atwhich time, amongstother recreations, weexercised our arms, manyof the Indians comingamongst us, and amongthe rest their greatestking Massasoit, withsome ninety men, whomfor three days we enter-tained and feasted, andthey went out and killedfive deer, which theybrought to the plantationand bestowed on ourgovernor, and upon thecaptain and others.”

The second descrip-tion was written abouttwenty years after thefact by William Bradford,the first governor of

Massachusetts, in his“History of PlymouthPlantation.”

Those primary sourcesonly list a few items thatwere on theThanksgiving “menu.”This contested list of cui-sine includes: five deer, alarge number of turkeysand waterfowl, cod, andbass; plus the harvest,which consisted ofwheat, corn, barley, andperhaps a few peas.

“To that list,”Mayflower History con-tinues, “we can add a fewadditional things that areknown to have beennative to the area andeaten by the Pilgrims:clams, mussels, lobster,eel, ground nuts, acorns,walnuts, chestnuts,squashes, and beans.Fruits and berries…wereavailable growing wild.Pilgrim house-gardensmay have included anumber of English veg-etables and herbs, per-haps things like onions,leeks, sorrel, yarrow, let-tuce, carrots, radishes,currants, liverwort,watercress, and others. “

However, AmericanHistory points out thatthe feast shared with theWampanoag Indians andthe first mention of

Diseases from Asia aren’t just a threat tohumans, native trees are fighting a battle oftheir own too. Bugs, fungi, and spores all threat-en to decimate the local flora.

While people have antibiotics and modernmedicine to aid them, trees are basically ontheir own, with little defenses. The help thatpeople do try to give, through using herbicidesand pesticides, can sometimes do as much harmas good.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resourcesadvises prevention to be the best defense againstflora ailments. Plant trees that are compatiblewith your intended location. Exotic trees nativeto the southern hemisphere will obviously facegreater challenges in Ohio. Also, look for treesthat are resistant to bugs and fungi that are anissue in your area.

Trees that are physically vulnerable are also aprime target. Trees may come under “stress”when they are unable to collect needed nutri-ents or water. Location of the tree can also havea bearing on its health. Maintain your trees byregularly watering, mulching, and pruning.

More natural methods of maintaining goodtree health include the avoidance of high nitro-gen fertilizer and chemical pesticides. These

often kill beneficial insects, microbes, andnematodes. Other organic suggestions can easilybe found online.

The best aid you can extend to your tree isto keep an “eye on it”. Look for clues of illnessor infestations. Additional information can befound at your local OSU Extension office or atohioline.osu.edu.

The ODNR also gives a list of common treediseases with descriptions of what to look outfor:

Powdery mildew: Usually found on crabap-ples, dogwoods, English oak, and catalpas.Leaves appear to have been “sprinkled withpowder.” Normally the older leaves are affectedfirst.

Leaf spots: Fungal leaf spots can be found ontrees all over the state. Damage caused by thesesfungi is minimal, fungicides are rarely needed.Two types of fungal spots are most prevalent: tarspots and frogeye spots.

Tar spots, found on maples, Amur, Japanesered and silver, begin in spring as yellow greencircles. By mid summer the circles turn dark.

Frogeye spots attack crabapples generally,spot begin with a tannish hue with purple to redborders and then expand and turn grey.

The suggested method of halting leaf spotspread is to rake up fallen leaves and removethem from the vicinity. The spots move from

fruiting bodies on fallen leaves.INSECTS

Chewing insects: Trees can usually recoverfrom the chewing assaults of spring and fallcankerworms, tent caterpillers, gypsy moths,leafminers, and Japanese beetles. Recurringinfestations could eventually kill the tree.

Boring insects: These insects carve tunnelsinside of trees where they lay eggs, which some-times after hatching will burrow even deeperinto the tree’s water-conducting tissue. Whenthis occurs upper parts of the tree may bestarved of essential nutrients.

Small enter/exit holes can be seen in the treebark accompanied by small bits of sawdust atthe base or branch bases. Bugs that burrow arethe Asian longhorn beetle, bronze birch borer,dogwood borer, two-lined chestnut borer, ashborer, and elm bark beetle.

Sucking insects: Scales, aphids, leafhoopers,spider mites, and thrips suck liquids frombranches and twigs. These insects can be seenon the outside of the trees, usually in dark scalyformations. They often excrete a sticky liquidsthat later turns black and is covered by fungi.

relax in the rustic 1812Food & Spirits dining roomand Rosie’s Bar & Grill,both located just off thelobby. Both are open week-days 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.mand weekends 11:30 a.m. to11 p.m. A brunch buffet isavailable in the diningroom from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.on Sundays.Constructed in 1886,

The Island House replacedan inn of the same name,located on Second Street,that burned in 1882.Ottawa County Sheriff

Conrad Gernhard con-structed and owned thenew “gentlemen only”hotel, doubling the size ofthe original structure andrelocating it to the heart ofthe growing city. He alsoadded modern features (forthe day) such as an indoorrestroom on the first floor.

Eventually, shared rest-rooms were added to eachhotel floor.Today, each air-condi-

tioned room has a privatebath, as well as a refrigera-tor and coffee maker.Sheriff Gernhard was a

colorful and enterprisingfigure in the early days ofOhio’s North Coast. AGerman immigrant, he wasbarely 18 and old enoughto drink when he openedPort Clinton’s first saloonin 1870.Elected sheriff nine years

later, Gernhard collecteddelinquent taxes in PortClinton. The job wasfinancially beneficial inthose days since Gernhardwas allowed to pocket allinterest and penalties fromthose delinquencies.Earned profits allowed

him to spend $25,000 tobuild andfurnish TheIslandHouse,equipping it“with every

modern convenience per-taining to the travelingpublic,” a local newspaperreported.In the 126 years since

Gernhard staked his for-tunes at the corner of Perryand Madison streets, TheIsland House has hostedthousands, including politi-cians, Hollywood celebri-ties and sports figures.Presidents Hayes and

Garfield stayed while hunt-ing and fishing in the area.Humphrey Bogart andLauren Bacall checked inwhile shopping for a cus-tom-designed boat at near-by Mathews Boat Lines.Baseball legends Babe Ruthand Joe DiMaggio and theirNew York Yankee team-mates made the hotel a reg-ular stopover when travelingto play the Detroit Tigers inthe 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and1950s. Snapshots of thosevisits and other historicmemorabilia now hang inthe hotel’s lobby.Closed in 2005, the hotel

re-opened as a completely

renovated condo-tel in2008. It’s a unique conceptthat allows investors to pur-chase rooms for their ownuse or add them to the“rental pool” for sublet bythe hotel staff.“Fourteen of our 38

rooms are privately owned,”Kopechak said.Guests can choose from

standard king and queenrooms or king and apart-ment suites. A whirlpoolsuite is available.November and December

specials include weekend“Bed & Breakfast” and“Escape From It All” pack-ages priced at $99 to $229,depending on the room.Kopechak saidThanksgiving, Christmasand New Year’s Eve specialsare also in the offing.Reservations are available

School doors opened on Tuesday,Sept. 4. The house seemed prettyempty after the six youngest left forschool at 7 a.m. They had Rich fortheir bus driver again which madethem happy. Rich has been the busdriver for the children ever since wemoved to Michigan eight yearsago. He is a good bus driver.

(Editor’s Note: Amish school-ing differs from place to place. Insome communities Amish chil-dren primarily attend parochialschools, in others it is public. InLovina’s settlement, childrenattend public school, attend theAmish parochial school or arehome-schooled.)

Son Kevin enjoyed his seventhbirthday on Sunday. DaughterLoretta baked a cake for Kevin.She didn’t know he wanted cup-cakes instead but he said it didn’tmatter. I decorated his cake usingcandy to write “happy birthday.”He looked pretty happy when hesaw it. We gave him a bike for hisbirthday. He

has never had his own. He wouldjust use the other old bikes wehave around here. He is so proudto have his very own bike and allof his free time riding. I evencaught him riding it in our base-ment the other night. He found abig bottle of baby powder andsprinkled “trails” on the basementfloor. He was biking on the trailsuntil I came downstairs andstopped him. He told me since wetold him he couldn’t bike on theroads that he was trying to makeroads in the basement. It left quitea dusty floor and mess to clean up.

Loretta is getting nervous abouther surgery which will be onMonday. We will all be glad whenit is over with. I hope and prayeverything will turn out okay. Sheis very tired after a day spent atschool.

My husband Joe and Josephtook the boat out on the lake onMonday, Labor Day. They fishedmost of the day. Elizabeth andBenjamin went with

Elizabeth’s friend Timothy on aboat on a different lake. They allcame home with some fish whichwere mostly bluegill.

The rest of the children and Ispent the day relaxing at home. Itwas a nice day and would havebeen a good afternoon to do laun-dry, but we waited until Tuesday,though, so Susan and I could do itafter the children left for school.We all needed that break.Elizabeth was glad to have a dayoff from the factory. They are put-ting in long hours every day. Itsounds like she will have to workSaturdays now. When I worked ata sewing factory before I was mar-ried I did not like workingSaturdays. It seemed like enoughto work five days and Saturdaywas the day to get caught up onwork at home.

A lot of the deer hunters aredoing target practice with theirbows. They are getting excited for

opening day ofdeer season.

The boyspicked five bigbuckets oftomatoes outof our gardenlast night.Susan and Idid laundrythis morningand it lookslike we willbe workingup toma-toes thisafternoon.I am gladto fillmorejars.

SisterEmmawill

drop off Steven, 5, in a little bit.She has to take one of her chil-dren to a doctor’s appointmentthis afternoon. Since Steven goesto school in the morning I imag-ine he will have plenty of storiesto share with us. Kevin was excit-ed to have Steven at school thisyear.

This is a delicious, easy break-fast and you could use potatoesfrom your garden in it.

Being in what somewould call a landlockedMarine business does notkeep Cory Burroughsimmune from the effects ofwhat Asian Carp enteringLake Erie could do to hismarket, but despite con-stant attention to the issuehe is not overly concerned.

Burroughs, whose familybusiness Burroughs MarineInc., in Clyde, is located 8miles from Sandusky Bayand 8 to 10 miles from theSandusky River, said hiscustomers have sharedconcerns.

The family marine busi-ness and service sits com-fortably in the middle ofcorn fields instead ofwater.

His customers includecharter captains, boatowners and even the OhioDepartment of NaturalResources. Burroughs as ofOct. 1 was Evinrude’s topsalesman in Ohio andBurroughs also has theoutboard motor company’smaster technician award.Nationwide, the rural busi-

ness rates 18th in sales forthe Evinrude company,Burroughs said.

“We do a lot of repow-ers,” Burroughs said aboutrenovating a boats powerwith a new motor.

Burroughs said Asiancarp issues are a concernfor his boat customers.

The good news for thesummer, however, is thatno Asian carp have beenlocated in Lake Erie or thewaters of Northwest Ohio,according to Rich Carter,

spokesman for the OhioDepartment of NaturalResources. “There is notevidence of young fish thatwould indicate reproduc-tion,” he also pointed outin October.

Carter said after a sum-mer of multiple agenciesconducting fishing andtesting, his agency willnow look at reports fromOhio, Michigan, Canadaand Pennsylvania to deter-mine the next strategicsteps in dealing with Asian

carp.“We are evacuating our

next step forward,” headded.

Over the summer, theODNR, MichiganDepartment of NaturalResources (MDNR) andU.S. Fish and WildlifeService (USFWS) collabo-rated to assess the currentstatus of bighead and silvercarp within western LakeErie bays and select tribu-taries, according to anODNR report.

Laboratory resultsreceived late summer indi-cated the presence ofAsian carp environmentalDNA (eDNA) in six of the417 water samples collect-ed in August 2011. Foursamples from SanduskyBay, in Ohio waters, testedpositive for bighead carpeDNA, while two samplesfrom north Maumee Bay,in Michigan waters, werepositive for silver carpeDNA. The findings indi-cate the presence of genet-ic material left behind bythe species, such as scales,excrement or mucous, butnot the establishment ofAsian carp in Lake Erie.

The search for AsianCarp has not been limitedto wildlife and naturalresources.

The United StatesDepartment of the Interior,U.S. Geological Surveyalso reported in a pressrelease that major bodies ofwater in Northwest Ohiowere very hospitable envi-ronments for Asian Carp— including Western LakeErie, Sandusky Bay, andthe Sandusky, Maumee andGrand rivers.

The USGS reportedthat from experience ifAsian carps find a homeand establish breeding inLake Erie, it could have agrave impact on the nativefish and Great Lakes econ-omy.

So far that there is notspecific evidence of that,according to Carter.

The three types ofAsian carp that breed inrivers during high summerflows are the Silver,Bighead and Grass carps,the USGS reported.

According to theUSGS, a study releasedthis summer found that theMaumee River, whichenters western Lake Erie atToledo, is highly suitablefor Asian carp to matureand spawn.

The Sandusky River —which stretches fromUpper Sandusky throughWyandot, Seneca,Sandusky and Erie countiesto Sandusky Bay — wouldbe moderately suitable forthe invasive fish — aswould the Grand Riverthat enters the lake atFairport Harbor, a pressrelease noted.

In September, ODNRreported that Asian carpenvironmental DNA(eDNA) had been detect-ed in three of 350 watersamples collected inMaumee Bay and theMaumee River betweenJuly and Aug. 4. Silvercarp eDNA was detected.

In July, ODNR andother agencies also collect-ed 150 water samples from

Sandusky Bay and threetested positive for silver careDNA as well.

ODNR noted, though,that eDNA cannot verifywhether DNA from theinvasive fish came fromlive or dead fish or fromother sources such as bilgewater, storm sewers or fish-eating birds.

The joint agencies alsoconducted electrofishingand traditional gill netfishing in Sandusky Bayand the Sandusky River inSeptember and found noAsian carp, Carter said.

Carter said that besidesthat testing, there is otherdata being collected.

“There has been sam-pling of bait dealersthroughout the GreatLakes,” he added. Hisagency is one waiting foreDNA results from thosetests. The goal is to deter-mine the source of theeDNA being picked up inwater samples from localbodies of water, he added.

At present Burroughs inClyde is not too concernedabout Asian carp yet.

“For us, it probablywon’t affect us too much,”he commented this fall.Local fishermen and char-ter captains are concernedit may change their season,he commented. “The char-ter guys are most worriedabout it,” he added.

“They ask about it,” hesaid. “What do we thinkabout it.”

“We have heard horrorstories,” Burroughs com-mented.

“All we can do is kindof wait and see what isgoing to come of it.”

The Knox CountyAgricultural Museum inMt. Vernon was the firststop on the 2012 Heart ofOhio Tour, as area resi-dents took the opportuni-ty to explore eight signifi-cant places which demon-strate longstanding com-mitment to showcasingthe culture, naturalresources, and rural livingof Knox County.The Museum began in

1984, but in both 2011and 2012, visitors to theKnox County Fair weretreated to an often stand-ing-room-only presenta-tion of many of the thou-sands of tools, implementsand smaller householdappliances common tothe area in the 1800s upto the 1960s.Jim Linkous was happy

to guide onlookersthrough a brief picturehistory of Mt. Vernon andthe surrounding area, pay-ing particular attention tothe areas around theSquare. In 1883, the peo-ple of Mt. Vernon placeda water fountain in thecenter of what is now theSquare, later adding astatue that still standstoday.As many undoubtedly

know, the fairgrounds somany visit in late summerfor the fair were once thehome of the OldHiawatha Park, now situ-ated just down the roadtoward CoshoctonAvenue. What surprisedsome listeners was learn-ing that the lake in thecenter of the horse race-track used to be muchbigger.Linkous, along with

museum staff memberPaul Hothem, also spokeof two agricultural woesin the history of the areaduring the time the OldHiawatha Park existed. In1913, Hothem said, avery large flood inundatedthe area, namely targetingthe former town of Zook,said to have been nearthe Millwood area. Thatflood, Hothem added,also destroyed the railroadrunning through Mt.Vernon, likely creatinghavoc with the localindustries and farmingcommunities, the wateritself being a major issue.In 1959, a second

flood hit Mt. Vernon inearly January. This partic-

ular disaster, Hothemremembered, brought atleast four to five inches ofwater to South MainStreet.Hothem talked of a

third onslaught of rain inthe early 1960s, which,he said, made a lot ofpeople very nervous,despite the fact that thearea sits on a 100-yearfloodplain, meaning thatat least every 100 years,conditions could becomeripe for a flood. The rea-son for this floodplaincame eons earlier, whenthe area in and aroundthe fairgrounds saw a two-mile-high glacier tearthrough the land.Hothem said that, due tothe way the glacier cutthrough the region andthen melted, the shreddedland blocked the waterfrom flowing south, keptit in Mt. Vernon and alsorerouted it aroundGambier.Doug McLarnan,

ranger with the KnoxCounty Park District, saysof the Kokosing Riveraround Honey Run Parkand its waterfall, wouldnot be as (healthy) as it istoday if not for the two tothree generations ofresponsible farming doneby the areas farmers inthe last several decades.McLarnan credits thecontinued accountabilityof farmers who use farm-ing systems such as no-tilland contour farming, aswell as the rise in scientif-ic farming (using chemi-cals on crops for theirintended use and in atimely manner) as themain reasons the river,the park and its 25-footwaterfall have remainedas pristine as they are.McLarnan also gives cred-it to the Millwood SandCompany, which helpskeep Honey Run Parkviable by preventing thebasilica sand from over-reaching its boundaries,and also keeps the localeconomy moving forwardby allowing its specialtype of sand to be used inthings like electronics.Specific to Honey Run

Park itself, McLarnan alsosaid that the Park Districthas helped both HoneyRun Park and the sur-rounding farmland byresponsibly turning 60acres of unsustainablefarmland into a beautifulprairie. The prairie is inits second full year, and

McLarnan says it will beat its best in its fifth year.He adds, “We haven’tdone a controlled burn onit, yet, either, so thathelps its potential.”Maureen Buchwald is

a driving force in the suc-cess of Glen HillOrchard, near Gambier,and the fourth stop onthe 2012 Heart of OhioTour. Buchwald spoke toa continuous conveyanceof visitors on Saturdayand Sunday’s showcasingof the operation, sayingthat it takes eight to 10people to run the line atthe orchard’s picking andpacking business. GlenHill Orchard is 100 per-cent refrigerated, and,Buchwald added, “Wedon’t even let the applessit in their cardboardboxes very long at all,because the cardboardcan still take out thewater inside the apples.”While stored in airtightbuildings, the applesremain in a controlledenvironment of 100 per-cent nitrogen and 85 per-cent humidity untilthey’re ready to beshipped out, akin to afarm which might pro-duce hydroponic toma-toes or similar crop.Buchwald spoke of the

growing cycle of theirapples, commenting that,since the apples give offnitrogen as they mature,keeping them in an envi-ronment completely filledwith nitrogen keeps thatmaturity at bay, thusallowing the apples tostay fresh until they’resold. Typically, Buchwald

noted, their throwawayrate is about 20 percent,so not every apple makesthe cut.Of the 57,000 bushels

and 20 varieties of applesGlen Hill Orchard pro-duces in a season, most ofthat crop is sold by Jan. 1.Grocers want a uniform,constant supply, soBuchwald says they hold7,000 bushels at a time intheir controlled environ-ments for those grocers.But Glen Hill Orchard isnot alone in theirendeavor. They are partof the Ohio Apples co-op,a group of 20 orchardsworking together to growand ship that constantsupply, mostly to Ohio,and most of that goes toColumbus Buchwald says.“What makes Glen

Hill Orchard the place togo to get your apples?

We’re close,” Buchwaldlaughs. Location is every-thing.Nathan McKee and his

family own and operateSassafrass Hill Farms andFarm Market, betweenMillwood andBladensburg, Ohio. For35 years, McKee has beenraising farm-fed beef cat-tle on his 800-acre farm.“(Six generations ago)My great-great-great-grandfather came to thearea after fighting in theWar of 1812, and startedthis farm. I’ve been doingthis for 35 years, and Idon’t consider it a jobbecause I’m doing what Ilove, and I love what Ido.”McKee, self-titled

“management to mechan-ic” says he operates hisfarm with 30 mother cowswho produce a calf once a

year, “a lot like humansdo.” Like us, it takes acalf nine months tomature to birth. Onceborn, McKee says the calfcan be weaned starting attwo and a half months,and that process lasts typ-ically for six to sevenmonths. When the calfreaches 15 to 18 monthsof age, it is ready to beprocessed.Each year, McKee says,

about 60 percent of eachcow becomes meat forprocessing. That means ifyou have a cow thatweighs 1,000 pounds, 600pounds of that cow isused for edible meat.In response to ques-

tions of organic farming,McKee pointed out thathis farm is not, and thatit runs as any farm-fedbeef cattle operationwould. “We vaccinate forthe bad stuff, and med-icate as needed.”Additionally, all the nec-essary food for the cattleis grown at the farm,instead of somewhereelse.Also on the farm’s

property, inside a beauti-ful building, visitors willfind a small but very neatmarket, run by Nathan’swife, Cheryl. Inside,patrons can buy delicious,locally-baked bread, pas-tries, maple syrup, andother goodies.Other stops included

on the 2012 Heart ofOhio Tour were theBladensburg FireDepartment, LanningsFoods in Mt. Vernon,Rine Poultry inWalhonding, and HillsideVeterinary Clinic in Mt.Vernon.

Thanksgiving are really notthe same event. “The firstactual mention of the wordthanksgiving in early colonialhistory was not associatedwith the first feast describedabove. The first time this termwas associated with a a feast orcelebration was in 1623. Thatyear the pilgrims were livingthrough a terrible drought thatcontinued from May throughJuly,” the website explains.

The pilgrims decided tospend an entire day in Julyfasting and praying for rain.The next day, a light rainoccurred. Further, additionalsettlers and supplies arrivedfrom the Netherlands. At thatpoint, Bradford proclaimed aday of Thanksgiving to offerprayers and thanks to God.

However, this was by nomeans a yearly occurrence. Itwould take over two centuriesfor Thanksgiving to becomethe national holiday that weknow and love today.

Sarah Josepha Hale is animportant figure in accom-plishing that task. Hale wrotethe novel “Northwood; or LifeNorth and South in 1827.”One of the chapters in herbook discussed the importanceof Thanksgiving as a nationalholiday.

On Sept. 28, 1863, Halewrote a letter to PresidentAbraham Lincoln to have“The day of annualThanksgiving made aNational and fixed UnionFestival.” Then on Oct. 3,1863, Lincoln proclaimed anationwide Thanksgiving Dayas the last Thursday ofNovember.

Today, our Thanksgiving isthe fourth Thursday ofNovember. This was set byPresident Franklin D.Roosevelt in 1939 (approvedby Congress in 1941). Sincethen, many cherished tradi-tions have been created, butThanksgiving’s central themeof celebrating gratitude with afeast has remained constant.

SOME LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:The famous pilgrim cele-

bration at Plymouth ColonyMassachusetts in 1621 is tradi-tionally regarded as the firstAmerican Thanksgiving.However, there are actually 12claims to where the “first”Thanksgiving took place: twoin Texas, two in Florida, onein Maine, two in Virginia, andfive in Massachusetts.

Oddly enough, mostdevoutly religious pilgrimsobserved a day of thanksgiving

with prayer and fasting, notfeasting. Yet even though thisharvest feast was never calledThanksgiving by the pilgrimsof 1621, it has become themodel for the traditionalThanksgiving celebrations inthe United States.

Now a Thanksgiving din-ner staple, cranberries wereactually used by NativeAmericans to treat arrowwounds and to dye clothes.

President Jefferson called afederal Thanksgiving procla-mation “the most ridiculousidea ever conceived.”

Held every year on theisland of Alcatraz since 1975,“Unthanksgiving Day” com-memorates the survival ofNative Americans followingthe arrival and settlement ofEuropeans in the Americas.

In the United States,Thanksgiving Day is celebrat-ed on the fourth Thursday inNovember. But did you knowthat seven other nations alsocelebrate an officialThanksgiving Day? Thosenations are Argentina, Brazil,Canada, Japan, Korea, Liberia,and Switzerland.

haps a few peas. Tothat list, we can add afew additional thingsthat are known tohave been native tothe area and eaten bythe Pilgrims: clams,mussels, lobster, eel,ground nuts, acorns,walnuts, chestnuts,squashes, and beans.

Fruits and berriessuch as strawberries,raspberries, grapes, andgooseberries wereavailable growing wild.Pilgrim house-gardensmay have included anumber of English veg-etables and herbs, per-haps things likeonions, leeks, sorrel,yarrow, lettuce, carrots,radishes, currants, liv-erwort, watercress, andothers. It is unlikelymuch in the way ofsupplies brought onthe Mayflower sur-vived, such as HollandCheese, olive oil, but-ter, salt pork, sugar,spices, lemons, beer,aqua-vitae, or bacon.It appears the Pilgrimsmay have had somechickens with them, solikely had access to alimited number ofeggs. No mention ofswine is found in anyaccount of the firstyear.

There are only twocontemporary accountsof the 1621Thanksgiving: First isEdward Winslow’saccount, which hewrote in a letter datedDec. 12, 1621. Thecomplete letter wasfirst published in 1622.

Winslow: “Our corn[i.e. wheat] did provewell, and God bepraised, we had a goodincrease of Indiancorn, and our barleyindifferent good, butour peas not worth thegathering, for wefeared they were toolate sown. They cameup very well, and blos-somed, but the sunparched them in theblossom. Our harvest

being gotten in, ourgovernor sent fourmen on fowling, thatso we might after aspecial manner rejoicetogether after we hadgathered the fruit ofour labors. They fourin one day killed asmuch fowl as, with alittle help beside,served the companyalmost a week. Atwhich time, amongstother recreations, weexercised our arms,many of the Indianscoming amongst us,and among the resttheir greatest kingMassasoit, with someninety men, whom forthree days we enter-tained and feasted, andthey went out andkilled five deer, whichthey brought to theplantation andbestowed on our gover-nor, and upon the cap-tain and others. Andalthough it be notalways so plentiful as itwas at this time withus, yet by the goodnessof God, we are so farfrom want that weoften wish you partak-ers of our plenty.”

The second descrip-tion was written abouttwenty years after thefact by WilliamBradford in his HistoryOf PlymouthPlantation. Bradford’sHistory was rediscov-ered in 1854 after hav-ing been taken byBritish looters duringthe RevolutionaryWar. Its discoveryprompted a greaterAmerican interest inthe history of thePilgrims. It is also inthis account that theThanksgiving turkeytradition is founded.

Bradford: “Theybegan now to gather inthe small harvest theyhad, and to fit up theirhouses and dwellingsagainst winter, beingall well recovered inhealth and strengthand had all things in

good plenty.For as somewere thusemployed inaffairs abroad,

others were exercisingin fishing, about codand bass and otherfish, of which theytook good store, ofwhich every familyhad their portion. Allthe summer there wasno want; and nowbegan to come in storeof fowl, as winterapproached, of whichthis place did aboundwhen they came first(but afterwarddecreased by degrees).And besides waterfowlthere was great store ofwild turkeys, of whichthey took many,besides venison, etc.Besides they had abouta peck of meal a weekto a person, or nowsince harvest, Indiancorn to that propor-tion. Which mademany afterwards writeso largely of their plen-ty here to their friendsin England, whichwere not feigned buttrue reports.”

From AmericanHistory:

The first interestingthing to point out isthat the feast sharedwith the WampanoagIndians and the firstmention ofThanksgiving are real-ly not the same event.During the first winterin 1621, 46 of the 102pilgrims died.Thankfully, the follow-ing year resulted in aplentiful harvest. Thepilgrims decided tocelebrate with a feastthat would include 90natives who helpedthe pilgrims surviveduring that first win-ter. One of the mostcelebrated of thosenatives was aWampanoag who thesettlers called Squanto.He taught the pilgrimswhere to fish and huntand where to plantNew World crops likecorn and squash. Healso helped negotiate atreaty between the pil-grims and chiefMassasoit.

The first actualmention of the wordthanksgiving in earlycolonial history wasnot associated with the

first feast describedabove. The first timethis term was associat-ed with a a feast orcelebration was in1623. That year thepilgrims were livingthrough a terribledrought that contin-ued from May throughJuly. The pilgrimsdecided to spend anentire day in July fast-ing and praying forrain. The next day, alight rain occurred.Further, additional set-tlers and suppliesarrived from theNetherlands. At thatpoint, GovernorBradford proclaimed aday of Thanksgiving tooffer prayers andthanks to God.However, this was byno means a yearlyoccurrence.

The next recordedday of Thanksgivingoccurred in 1631 whena ship full of suppliesthat was feared to belost at sea actuallypulled into BostonHarbor. GovernorBradford again ordereda day of Thanksgivingand prayer.

George Washingtonissued the firstThanksgivingProclamation by aPresident of theUnited States on Nov.26, 1789. Interestingly,some of the futurepresidents such asThomas Jefferson andAndrew Jackson wouldnot agree to resolu-tions for a national dayof Thanksgivingbecause they felt it wasnot within their con-stitutional power. Overthese years,Thanksgiving was stillbeing celebrated inmany states, but oftenon different dates.Most states, however,celebrated it sometimein November.

Sarah Josepha Haleis an important figurein gaining a nationalholiday forThanksgiving. Halewrote the novelNorthwood; or LifeNorth and South in1827 which argued forthe virtue of the Northagainst the evil slaveowners of the South.One of the chapters inher book discussed theimportance of

Thanksgiving as anational holiday.

On Sept. 28, 1863during the Civil War,Hale wrote a letter toPresident AbrahamLincoln “asEditress(sic) of the‘Lady’s Book’ to havethe day of annualThanksgiving made aNational and fixedUnion Festival.” Thenon October 3, 1863,Lincoln, in a proclama-tion written bySecretary of StateWilliam Seward, pro-claimed a nationwideThanksgiving Day asthe last Thursday ofNovember.

From about.com:In the United States,

Thanksgiving Day iscelebrated on the fourthThursday in November.But did you know thatseven other nations alsocelebrate an officialThanksgiving Day?Those nations areArgentina, Brazil,Canada, Japan, Korea,Liberia, andSwitzerland.

Oddly enough, mostdevoutly religious pil-grims observed a day ofthanksgiving withprayer and fasting, notfeasting. Yet eventhough this harvestfeast was never calledThanksgiving by thepilgrims of 1621, it hasbecome the model forthe traditionalThanksgiving celebra-tions in the UnitedStates.

Each ThanksgivingDay since 1947, thePresident of theUnited States has beenpresented with threeturkeys by theNational TurkeyFederation. One liveturkey is pardoned andgets to live the rest ofits life on a quiet farm;the other two aredressed for theThanksgiving meal.

From randomhisto-ry.com:

The famous pilgrimcelebration atPlymouth ColonyMassachusetts in 1621is traditionally regard-ed as the firstAmericanThanksgiving.However, there areactually 12 claims towhere the “first”Thanksgiving tookplace: two in Texas,two in Florida, one in

Maine, two inVirginia, and five inMassachusetts.

President Jeffersoncalled a federalThanksgiving procla-mation “The mostridiculous idea everconceived.”

Held every year onthe island of Alcatrazsince 1975,“Unthanksgiving Day”commemorates the sur-vival of NativeAmericans followingthe arrival and settle-ment of Europeans inthe Americas.

The famous“Pilgrim and Indian”story featured in mod-ern Thanksgiving nar-ratives was not initial-ly part of earlyThanksgiving stories,largely due to tensionsbetween Indians andcolonists.

The firstThanksgiving inAmerica actuallyoccurred in 1541,when FranciscoVasquez de Coronadoand his expeditionheld a thanksgivingcelebration in PaloDuro Canyon in theTexas panhandle.

Americans eatroughly 535 millionpounds of turkey onThanksgiving.

Now aThanksgiving dinnerstaple, cranberrieswere actually used byNative Americans totreat arrow woundsand to dye clothes.

Sarah Josepha Hale(1788-1879), who tire-lessly worked to estab-lish Thanksgiving as anational holiday, alsowas the first person toadvocate women asteachers in publicschools, the first toadvocate day nurseriesto assist workingmothers, and the firstto propose public play-grounds. She was alsothe author of twodozen books and hun-dreds of poems, includ-ing “Mary Had a LittleLamb.”
