100th day of school.
Shamrock Lanes/Pot O ’ G old C afe’s “Quartermania” (promotion
paid for by Morrow County Tobacco Prevention) on March 15 was a
marvelous success. We have had very positive feedback in regards to
having this kind o f event and I know the folks at the lanes w ill be doing
something like this again in the near future. I certainly enjoyed taking
pictures o f many o f the different groups in action, plus a couple o f
“tw osom es.”
Som eone during the evening made an observation w hile watching
the crowd o f young people bow ling that there was a wonderful mix o f
ages - from little ones to older teens and twenty-som ethings, and that
there was a nice sense o f respect and community. What a gift we have
given ourselves.
I am in the process o f talking to other restaurants in Morrow
County in terms o f setting aside a day or an evening where the dining
area is smoke free, with perhaps various student or community groups
or individuals providing entertainment. If this sounds like a good idea,
let your favorite eating place know how you feel. When you are in the
vicinity o f the Health Department, drop in and let me know too.
I was in Portland for the annual Tobacco Prevention Conference on
March 12-13. One session was very sobering: just how brilliant the ad
people are who work for the various tobacco companies. One thing to
always remember: that their stockholders mandate these tobacco
companies to make m oney. For all the charitable events they seem to
be associated with, it is the “bottom line” and name familiarity that is
all-important to them. They are spending m illions telling us o f the
thousands they have spent on various projects.

The m ost effective exorcism for spring fever is a few days
o f warmer weather that allow digging and raking in the yard,
burning weeds or som e other Herculean task outdoors. Then one is
only too happy to limp back indoors and favor aching, long-unused
muscles. O f course, there are those exercise freaks, w hose efforts
keep their w ell-conditioned bodies in the best o f shape. But som ehow,
as the years roll by, I find that bent-over stance more demanding. So
it’s not surprising that raised gardening beds hold an added attraction.
In view o f the so-called electricity shortage and loom ing drought
conditions perhaps w e need to re-think our landscaping efforts. One
thing this country is not short on is rock, so a rock garden with cactus
might be the way to go. Or perhaps it would be w ise to cem ent the yard
and paint it green. O f course, yards need only a pittance o f water
compared to all the large landscaped areas including g o lf courses. But
hey, everyone has to have a playground, right?
I think back to the days when rural folks raised large gardens
without the convenience o f sprinklers and instant water. As a child it
was always my job to hoe that large potato patch. Evidently I must
have left a goodly number o f potato plants growing, because we
always had many sacks o f potatoes that required digging, sorting and
storing in the old root cedar for the winter. Those dry-land potatoes,
usually grown in a former haystack or feeding area, were always good
“keepers,” since they had less water content. That was before there
were any deer in this open country that nowadays invade even fenced
yards. Too, there was that large patch o f sw eet com , cultivated with a
horse and walking plow, to provide many jars o f canned com .
Fortunately during my growing up years we seldom were short on
water as long as the windm ill pumped water to the reservoir for
household use. H owever, irrigated gardens were planted where
springs provided water that trickled down ditches dug beside
vegetable rows. Compare that with today’s lifestyle when an
electricity interruption brings everything to a standstill. The lights go
out, the furnace and the stove don’t work and there’s no power to
pump the water. Ah. the price o f convenience. Yet most o f us would
be sorely put out if we had to return to those former self-sufficient
days.
Back then we didn’t have thoughts about our food being
contaminated in som e way, even though it was propagated with
barnyard fertilizer. Currently, everything we eat or use is being
challenged as to its safety. N ow they're claim ing that additives, even
in soap or perfume, are putting toxins in our bodies. Perhaps old
timers had fewer com plicated health problems due to that simple
lifestyle H owever I think the real reason was that germs didn't stand
a chance because o f that old homemade lye soap.
