Final report 2017
• New record with 135,000 visitors
• f.re.e bigger than ever with second caravanning hall
• Partner Country 2018: Malta
In the five days of the trade fair, 135,000 visitors obtained information about innovations and trends for planning their vacations and recreation time. Visitor satisfaction surpassed the record set in the previous year. This also created a high level of satisfaction among exhibitors in all topic areas. Overall, more than 1,300 companies from 65 countries presented their vacation offers and recreation products.
Trade fair CEO Reinhard Pfeiffer emphasized the high satisfaction of exhibitors: "Not only the record number of visitors was convincing, but also the fact that a lot of money was spent for vacations, leisure time, motor homes and caravans. This is certainly thanks to the current economic situation, but also the great offers from our exhibitors."
Bavarian Economics and Tourism Minister Ilse Aigner stressed the importance of the event during her tour of the show: "With the travel and recreation trade fair f.re.e, we have an excellent platform to present Bavaria's extensive offers effectively. Bavaria is the number one tourist destination in Germany. With more than 90 million overnight stays in the Free State, 2016 was again a record year. However, the fair is also very popular with other national and international travel agencies thanks to the willingness to travel and the purchasing power of people from Bavaria."
The Munich Car Days were held within the context of f.re.e for the sixth time and for the tenth time overall. The success story of this is continuing, as organizer Andrea Schaller-Öller from Münchener Zeitungs-Verlag reported: "At the 10th Munich Car Days, the unique trade fair concept to compare numerous car makes in one place and test drive them was again very well received. In addition, dealers were able to sell a large number of vehicles."
The Munich Golf Days had an excellent debut on the trade fair grounds from Friday to Sunday. Ingo Klover, Managing Director of Planet Fair, drew a positive balance: "The extended range and the new site was warmly welcomed by exhibitors and visitors. Renowned new exhibitors have already announced their participation for next year."
Barbara Müller, Project Manager of f.re.e, is delighted with the successful result of the partner events: "We provide our visitors with an optimum enhancement to the extensive travel and leisure time offer of f.re.e with the Munich Car Days and Golf Days." The visitor figures show clearly that this concept has received wide acceptance."
At f.re.e, this year's partner country Egypt showed its extensive travel and recreational activities such as diving and kite surfing on the Red Sea and culture offers from Cairo to Luxor to the Valley of the Kings. Mohammed Abdel Gabbar, Director of the Tourist Office Egypt in Germany, looks back positively at f.re.e: "We are very satisfied with the trade fair and also certain that our exhibition will take us a step further in attracting even more tourists to Egypt this year."
More Germans than ever spent their vacations in their own country last year. The high demand was also noticeable at f.re.e. In a survey, more than a third of visitors started that they were interested in offers in Bavaria and Germany. Consequently, Thomas Dachs, Exhibition Manager of the Tourism Association of Eastern Bavaria, is very satisfied: f.re.e 2017 was a complete success for us! Interest in excursion and recreational opportunities in Eastern Bavaria and especially the Bavarian Forest is enormous. In addition, our hiking, wellness and cycling offers were very well received."
Almost half of the visitors were looking for information about vacation destinations around the Mediterranean. Among others, Peter Cauchi, Director of the Malta Tourism Authority, is profiting from this enthusiasm: "f.re.e was again a great success for us, and we were able to present the diversity of Malta to the visitors from Munich and Bavaria in general. We are really looking forward to be the partner country of f.re.e next year when Valletta will be the European Capital of Culture."
Cruises remain very fashionable. For this reason, f.re.e again increased the size of exhibition area "f.re.e Ahoy" this year with offers for traveling on water. This increases the attraction for both visitors and exhibitors, as Berthold Allendorf, Managing Director of Zughansa, stated: "f.re.e is a win-win situation for Zughansa. We reach our target group and get orders from them; in addition, we can fire their enthusiasm with interesting talks. We were able to provide customer care and acquire new customers in personal conversations and talks in an optimal way."
Caravanning & Mobile Leisure
The continuing positive trend in the caravanning industry was also reflected at f.re.e. The area for Caravanning & Mobile Recreation was expanded to two complete halls, corresponding to an area of two football fields. Visitor interest in mobile homes, caravans and tents has again increased according to a survey, as Gerhard Romer, proprietor of Slomotion Germany confirmed: "We were at f.re.e for the first time, and our expectations were exceeded by a great margin. From the first day, knowlegable visitors demonstrated substantial interest in our products. Our dealers were able to sell a wide range of vehicles and consequently also drew a very positive balance."
In addition, 93 percent of the visitors surveyed rated the offering in the field Caravanning & Mobile Recreation as excellent, very good or good. With some 300 vehicles, the exhibitors presented more caravans and motor homes than ever before. Marie Theresa Gerard, Managing Director of Wohnwagen Gerard, explained the step to increase the area of their own booth significantly: "f.re.e is our biggest promotion campaign. Consequently, the fair is very important for presenting our brand. We had many good discussions and noticed very high quality among the visitors. The tenfold increase our booth was exactly the right decision."
In the Camping World, visitors had the opportunity to gain a comprehensive picture of the very varied tent offers. Michael House, Doréma Vorzelte CEO, assessed the development as very positive: "f.re.e has been able to increase its importance for the camping industry in recent years and is exactly on the right path with its activities:"
The enthusiasm when it comes to bicycles reached another record level. Almost half of those surveyed specifically visited hall B6, and 95 percent rated the range of trekking, mountain, e-bikes and equipment as well as bicycle tours as excellent, very good or good. For Christian Unangst, Sales Representative at Kreidler, f.re.e was a complete success: "f.re.e is a great chance for us to present the brand Kreidler optimally and become more well-known among customers. With the help of test rides on the bike course, we were able to win numerous new customers."
In addition to other manufacturers such as Hercules, Kettler and MyStromer, numerous dealers presented nearly 60 bicycle brands. How big the interest of visitors is for bicycles was also demonstrated to Andreas Weigl, Marketing Manager at the Bavarian e-bike manufacturer Corratec: "It was our first time as an exhibitor at f.re.e this year. The results are very positive. We were able to sell approximately 160 e-bikes via our dealers in the first few days thanks to this trade fair. This is definitely a great success."
Water Sports
The travel and recreation trade fair f.re.e extended its range of action areas in the topic area of water sports by a lake-landscape. In two separate lakes, visitors had the opportunity to test both the latest stand-up paddling boards and canoe models on site. Guido Meier, Managing Director of Bavarianwaters, is full of enthusiasm for the implementation: "On the new lake, visitors could directly make their first stand-up paddling tests on water, so that they will be motivated to try that out on a real lake at our company later. Visitors very quickly found a liking for stand-up paddling at f.re.e."
Christian Krzywicki from Beyond Diving was very pleased with the great interest in the trial scuba diving and snorkeling offers: "Despite the good weather, we recorded very many customers at our booth as well as for the trial diving courses. Snorkeling is becoming increasingly interesting for the visitors, since people can try it out without great diving knowledge during a seaside vacation."
With nearby mountains, outdoor is one of the most popular recreational areas of visitors at f.re.e. In addition, CLIMB FREE was held on Saturday and Sunday for already the ninth time. Patricia Ebenberger, from the managing board of the German Alpine Club Munich and Oberland, is very pleased with the fair result: "For us, the f.re.e is a great chance to get into contact with outdoor-loving, active visitors to present our offer and ideally recruit them as new members."
The European Outdoor Film Tour made a stop at f.re.e on Saturday evening. Visitors had the opportunity to see clips and videos by mountain climbers, mountain bikers and wingsuit flyers in a 90-minute special presentation.
Health & Wellness
The Health & Wellness area had the right offer for every need this year from fitness exercises in the exercise scene to wellness offers for at home. For Klaus Denninger, Managing Director of Aloe Vera Service, exhibition at f.re.e is mandatory: "While many fairs continue to stagnate or even decline, we look forward to f.re.e every year. Thanks to the great organization, the trade fair is growing further, and increasing visitor numbers and sales are guaranteed us every year."
The next travel and recreation fair f.re.e will take place on the grounds of Messe München from February 21 to 25, 2018.

Dispelling the Rumors of Nursing DegreesPosted December 9th, 2009 by Staff Writers in Uncategorized (No Comments »)
Nursing jobs have become somewhat glamorized by Hollywood over the recent increase of hospital shows within the past few years including ER, Grey's Anatomy, and Scrubs. While the surgeons take over much of the time on Grey's Anatomy, nurses are still a huge part of the show, and some of the main characters of ER and Scrubs are the head nurses of the respective hospitals. Nursing degrees do lead to the ending result of the ability to save lives and help rehabilitate patients, but they do typically are not as glamorous as these shows make them appear to be. Nursing degrees require students to be fully committed to the health industry and fully committed to their patients at the same time.
Nursing degrees can now be attained at a number of online institutions, making the RN requirement that much easier to earn, although many students are disappointed by their ending career placement. Working aside sexy surgeons is not what propels most students to become a nurse, and the fact that these TV shows cater to false notions about the health industry is not helping health education. A true nursing career requires hours of dedication to patients who need constant care and attention; there is little time for the social hours that so many of these shows indicate health care professionals have.
Nursing degrees additionally require years of hard work and courses, requiring programs to weed out the students who think they can breeze through a health-care profession. These students are left struggling when their first patient has a seizure or cannot stop bleeding. However, despite dispelling the rumors of constant parties and social gatherings on TV shows, nursing careers are incredibly rewarding and uplifting. Every day nurses are allowed the opportunity to connect with patients on a personal level and are the people in charge of monitoring their levels after surgery and performing examinations.
Drawing the line between fact and fiction is hard for any highly popularized career, but the health care industry has especially seen a rise in interest among the American public as a result of the many medical shows that have plagued airwaves in recent years. While many of these shows do indicate what many hospitals have to undergo (once in a while), the vast majority only seem to glamorize a career which is meant to give back to the community and work to save lives. Nursing degrees are a major part of this community, and bringing reality back to students is a necessary part of their schooling.

"So Lily, you've been in Belize all of two weeks, and now you're on your way to the Prime Minister's home, where most Belizeans have never been. How do you feel?"
Dyon, who is in charge of Media Relations for the Belize Tourism Board, is half-joking from behind the wheel, but we both realize it's pretty mind-blowing.
While I may have expected some of the adventures awaiting me on my
Matador Road Warrior gig in Belize, like caving or hiking up Mayan temples, I never expected this one.
Two weeks in Belize and I got to meet the First Lady, Mrs. Kim Simplis-Barrow. Not just meet her but spend two days with her, getting to know her, photographing her at her office, at home with her daughter and her husband Prime Minister Barrow, and on her site visits to a children's home and to the hospital in Belize City where she's helping build a new pediatric intensive care unit. I saw a woman who takes her role seriously and wants to make a difference in her country. A woman who is clearly beautiful on the outside, but cares more about what's on the inside, and wants to continue making her mark on Belizean children's lives.
"Education is the key" — that's her main message through her Lifeline Foundation. With two Master's Degrees under her belt, it's a message she learned young, and it's one I grew up with myself. My siblings and I always knew that if we wanted Dad to be happy and if we wanted to make something of our lives as he has with his, we had to not only do well in school but also make it at least through college. It wasn't something that was up for discussion, it just was. As an adult, I can't begin to imagine what my life would be like or where I'd be today if my father hadn't had the will and determination to get an education, walking miles and miles to school every single day, despite his humble origins as a young boy from the village of Endebir in Ethiopia.
When I first laid eyes on Mrs. Barrow, I was stunned. She may as well have come straight out of the pages of Vogue. I even meant to ask her if she was related to Liya Kebede! Same tower height, similar features, so model-esque and gracious. But speak to her and she's the most down to earth and approachable person you'll meet. Who else brings Belizean Kakaw or chocolate for their photographer?
The final images — I wish I could share with you all but you'll have to be a little patient as they have a special purpose (for my editor's magazine feature in a major print outlet).
The past couple of days have been interesting, inspiring, eye-opening and an absolute treat. It was an honor to photograph the First Lady and her family. All thanks to Julie Schwietert, Managing Editor of Matador Travel and creator of the awesome Road Warrior Program, who needed photos of Mrs. Barrow for one of her important projects and entrusted me with the task.
An unforgettable experience. I can't even imagine what other surprises are in store over my next ten weeks in Belize.

I brought along Intern Paralee on this maternity/family session a few weeks ago. Natasha is actually a very good friend of Megan and Paul – who we photographed a few weeks earlier for their own maternity session (and just last week we photographed their newborn baby Scotty). Megan and Natasha are about a month apart and Megan just gave birth last week. So that means Natasha's due… today. No, wait. I don't really know when she's due – but it's got to be soon right?
Look at my photographic powers! I can make hyper little dogs stand still and pose for me!
We spent this past weekend in Nashville, TN. – celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary! – so we've got lots of photo shoots lined up, and lots of editing. This week is going to be packed.
Check out the rest of Natasha's set in Photo Gallery – Here.

Calgary's new bishop says he may choose softer language but his views on issues such as gay-straight alliances in schools might not be that different from his controversial predecessor.
William McGrattan, 60, of London, Ont., was installed Monday as the replacement for Bishop Fred Henry, who resigned earlier this year for health reasons.
Henry, 73, was known for his outspoken opposition to the Alberta government's plans to protect LGBTQ students in schools and the idea of administering a vaccine against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, in schools.
Henry equated the guidelines issued by the province with "totalitarianism'' and called the process a "forceful imposition of a particular narrow-minded anti-Catholic ideology."
McGrattan says he believes that rather than promoting a certain lifestyle by calling them gay-straight alliances, in Ontario they preferred to say "respecting differences."
He says he doesn't believe in categorizing young people.
"We don't want them to simply see themselves as identified in one specific way," McGrattan says, adding he might not be as direct as Henry, "but I'll be as firm."
McGrattan previously held bishop positions in Toronto and Peterborough, Ont.
He says pastoral visits are key to his role as bishop and he plans to spend days with many of the 69 Catholic churches in southern Alberta and at the city's nursing homes and Catholic schools.
Wildrose Leader Brian Jean issued a news release Monday night extending best wishes to McGrattan.

In this photo the bird got away a millisecond before my shutter clicked. And that's the way it always is. Birding is a lot like fishing; the best stories are always about the ones that got away, as in this case the one I didn't get a photo of. I was having a slow birding day on my hike up the Williamson River Trail; it was almost half over before I starting writing down any bird sightings. And, then I spotted what turned out to be a Green-tailed Towhee! It was extra exciting because it was a new addition to my life list. I failed after about three attempts to get a photo, and then it flew out of sight. I was determined to get a photo so I decided to try calling it in with my iPod. I dialed up the Green-tailed Towhee call and gave it a couple of tries. No response, then I noticed an approaching shadow overhead that swooped in and landed in the tree. It was a Cooper's Hawk, an eater of small birds, who had come to investigate the Towhee call. It took a puzzled look and me, turned around, and flew off. They both got away without a photo, the Green-tailed Towhee and the Cooper's Hawk.

Church History
Heritage Presbyterian Church was formed through the 1991 merger of two Deerfield Township churches dating back to the early 1800's – Somerset in the center of the township, Mason to the west in the village of Mason.
Seeking God in the Wilderness
The Deerfield area was still largely wilderness when pioneering families began to gather in worship, initially in homes, sometimes being led by the Presbyterian circuit rider Rev. James Kemper.
Mason Presbyterian 1814-1990
The Mason church began with services held in private homes as early as 1808. Organized as Unity Church of Warren County, the congregation built its first place of public worship on Bethany Road. Various sources date the building to 1812 and 1813. However, Presbytery records first recognized the Unity church in November, 1814, and that has been treated as the founding date for the church in following anniversaries. By 1828 the log structure was deteriorating and the congregation was seriously considering building a new meeting house. However, divisions over location, building type and size caused the church "to bleed at every pore," said one report. No record can be found of a new meeting house being built. The Unity congregation divided in 1832 with the breakaway group forming the Harmony church in Monroe. In 1842 the remaining Unity congregation moved about a mile to Mason, then a village of 400. It appears that the congregation met at the Mason Methodist Church for the next three years.
The Mason congregation in late 1845 purchased a lot on Forest Avenue, a block off Main Street. A new brick church building was erected and occupied by December 1846. The congregation united for a while with the Pisgah church and in 1871 the name was changed to the First Presbyterian Church of Mason and Pisgah. At that time the church had 40 members, but 100 in Sunday school. The relationship with Pisgah was later terminated and the name officially changed in 1895 to Mason Presbyterian Church.
As the Mason community grew, so did the church. A large room for education and study was added in 1886. A major addition in 1936 provided a dining room and kitchen on the first floor with classrooms and a small stage on the second. A post-war growth spurt in Mason was met in 1956 with more classrooms, a fellowship hall, new kitchen, nursery, and a library/meeting room. In 1968-69 the entire sanctuary was rebuilt, new pews and pulpit furniture installed, and an enlarged narthex added. However, the various additions did not work well together. Going from the sanctuary to classrooms and the fellowship hall required going up and down narrow stairs. It was easier and faster (but wetter) to go out the front door and around the outside of the building reentering through the side doors. Restrooms were up steps, making handicap compliance problematic.
Somerset Presbyterian 1822-1990
The Somerset church was an offshoot of the Montgomery Presbyterian Church, itself an offshoot of the Pleasant Ridge church. All trace roots back to the Rev. James Kemper, the first installed Presbyterian pastor north of the Ohio River. A famed circuit rider, Rev. Kemper visited and preached in homes and gatherings across Southwest Ohio in the early years of settlement. Kemper Rd., almost on the border between Hamilton and Warren Counties, is named for him.
Somerset was formed in the early 1820s by farm families in the 20 Mile Stand area. Dates of 1821, 1822 and 1824 have been given for the founding. The 1822 date was used by Somerset for its square on the Presbytery 200th anniversary quilt that hangs on the back wall of the Heritage sanctuary. Somerset members at first worshipped in the log meeting house of Sycamore Presbyterian Church. The Somerset congregation built its own brick church in 1829 at the corner of Fields-Ertel Rd. and Montgomery Rd., already the "main street" through the township. It remained the church's home for the next 162 years to four and five generations of families.
Country Churches/Suburban Growth
For much of their histories Mason and Somerset were country churches that served as stepping stone or stop – over posts for pastors. Pastor terms at Mason averaged just under three years over its first century, Somerset much the same. From Mason session minutes, it appears the congregations shared ministers off and on from 1874 to 1908. The churches survived by the stability provided by generations of faithful, long-serving family members. At the time of the Mason church's 175th anniversary in 1989, membership stood at just over 300 and average Sunday attendance was about 180 for two services, but wasn't keeping up with population growth.
Meanwhile, Somerset stayed a rural church and grew slowly. It added a kitchen/meeting wing over the years but probably never exceeded much more than 100 members. Both churches were badly showing their age as the Deerfield area began a surge of rapid growth and the transition from farms to suburbia. Their congregations faced difficult decisions about moving out of buildings that had been church homes for some 150 years.
Time for Change
In 1989 Somerset formed a Redevelopment Task Force with congregational agreement on the need for change and renewal. The area was growing and evolving rapidly with the Fields Ertel and Mason-Montgomery interchange a center of development. Attractive offers had been made for the church property (where Meijer's gas station is located today) and the Presbytery was encouraging new church development to attract and serve the growing population. Somerset members reluctantly realized a move was needed to fulfill their vision and maintain a viable congregation. They began plans toward a new building site and considered seeking a merger partner to achieve the resources and personnel skills a larger church would need.
At the same time, the Mason church was celebrating its 175th anniversary, but wrestling with the same issues of how to deal with growth and change. The awkward old church building, bordered by a railroad, lumber yard, grain silo and feed store, a block off Main St. out of traffic flow, was not welcoming for new residents. Pastoral leadership was changing. The church's longest serving minister had retired in 1986 after 33 years. A frank and perceptive interim pastor advised, in his final parting sermon, that the congregation should consider leaving their historic church home and relocate if they wanted the church to grow. A seed was planted.
Merger – "Had to be God's Doing"
At a Presbytery meeting in May, 1990, a Mason session member heard Rev. Florence Beaujon describe Somerset's frustrations in finding a merger partner for building a new suburban church for Deerfield Township. Playing golf the next evening with another session member, he explained what he heard and asked, "Why not us?" The other elder agreed. The next committee night, a couple days later, they presented the idea to Mason's new pastor, Ron Trapp. He was taken aback for a minute, then agreed the idea had merit, and said he'd call Florence the next morning.
The two ministers had lunch the next day, saw good possibilities for a "fit" and called special session meetings to present the idea. The Somerset session met May 20 and voted to explore the melding. The Mason session voted May 21 to move-ahead. Delegates from both sessions met, found they had common situations and goals, and agreed to recommend to their Sessions that a merger proposal be presented for congregational vote. Next, a meeting was held at Somerset with all affected parties – Presbytery officials, pastors, Session members, and Somerset's church redevelopment chair – to finalize the understanding.
Congregational meetings were called. On June 10 the Somerset congregation gave its approval to merger exploration. Mason approved a week later on June 17. The whole process took less than a month. "You know the Lord was leading us," said Kaye Calvert, a Mason elder at the time. "Presbyterians can never agree on anything this quickly!" Anticipating the congregational approvals, two committees were formed with equal representation from both churches.
Merger Committee developed a Plan of Merger that was presented to and approved by both congregations in October, 1990. The name Heritage was selected to reflect the long histories brought by both churches and the intent to respect, preserve and blend the practices and traditions from each. The Merger Committee was headed by Rev. Tom Foster and Elder Jim Hartman from Presbytery. Somerset was represented by Fern Biehle, Bev Blatz, Bob Burns, Ginny Wiles and Curt Hopkins, while Mason sent Wes Garland, Trudie Pringle, Roger Rude, Jim Spaeth, and Marian Walker.
Building Committee was chaired by Tom Hayden from Somerset, joined by Peggy Bay, Rudy Beaujon and Muriel Kinder. Mason was represented by Beth Flege, Gene Foster, Don Handley, and Russ Phillips. After a thorough search of the area, the committee selected today's property at the corner of Tylersville (then Stitt) and Mason-Montgomery roads for its accessibility and growth potential. The purchase was approved on August 19 by the Somerset congregation and August 26 by Mason.
The Two Shall Become One
Heritage Presbyterian Church 1991
By God's Grace, Heritage Presbyterian Church was officially incorporated Jan. 1, 1991 in the state of Ohio as a new congregation in the Presbyterian Church (USA) with Rev. Ron Trapp as senior pastor and Rev. Florence Beaujon as associate pastor. However, both congregations continued to meet separately until Easter Sunday, when Somerset held its final service in its beloved home of 160 years. After that, everyone joined for services at the Mason church.
The Somerset Church building was moved to the Sharon Woods Pioneer Village and restored to its original 1829 appearance as a representative example of early 1800 churches. Appropriately, it is located next door to the log cabin of Rev. James Kemper, father of Presbyterian churches in this corner of Ohio.
Construction began on a modern, open-feel church with seating for up to 400 per service. All spaces were placed on one level for full handicap-accessibility. The stained glass window from the Mason church, a triptych of Christ flanked by two angels, was enlarged and installed on the apse wall. The final service at the old Mason church, the third Sunday in June, 1992, was a roller coaster of mixed emotions.
Looking ahead, a calling committee over several weeks had been phoning more than 3000 homes in the Mason, Landon and West Chester areas inviting them to the first service at the new church. On a glorious sunny morning the fourth Sunday in June, some 550 people showed up for worship service, overflowing the parking lot and the sanctuary. Folding chairs needed to be set up in the atrium to handle the crowd. The months of planning, working and waiting achieved an overwhelming response. The Deerfield area received a new church with historic values - a living memorial to the caring heritage of earlier generations, and a new beginning and welcoming home for existing members and newcomers alike.
The welcome worked so well – with growth over the next four years to 500 members – that Heritage undertook a building program to add more classrooms, restrooms, storage space, and especially a massive meeting hall/gym. The new facilities supported an expanded pre-school program, greater scouting activities, weeklong hostings of homeless families under Warren County's Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), larger family night dinners and programs, and a wider range of youth group activities.
In 1999 the congregation was saddened by the untimely death of Wilma Trapp, the pastor's wife and beloved organist. Rev. Trapp soldiered on alone for a while, but in 2001 elected to take retirement so he could move to Texas to be near family. Associate Pastor, Florence Beaujon also chose retirement. Rev. Thomas Martin, the retired minister of Xenia Presbyterian Church and state chaplain of the Ohio Army National Guard, served as interim pastor at Heritage 2001-2002 (one of eight Ohio churches where he has been an interim). After an extensive search process, Rev. Kevin Stainton, was called October, 2002 as Senior Pastor. He brought youth, energy, a dynamo wife, Bev, and pre-school son, Max. Rev. Stainton continues as Pastor, and is now the second longest serving minister in our combined church histories.
In 2008 the Heritage congregation again voted for growth. The church added a new education wing with four more classrooms and a dedicated preschool office. The rooms accommodated wonderful growth in adult Sunday school and Bible study classes, enabled more preschool spaces, private rooms for families during IHN hosting weeks, and more meeting spaces for church committees, scouts and community organizations. Intended from the outset as a 7-day-a-week community resource, Heritage spaces are booked nearly 100 percent year-round.
Just as our founders, strangers in the wilderness, gathered to share faith and friendship, Heritage Presbyterian Church exists to offer a warm welcome and feeling of belonging to persons of all ages and circumstances.
Come as a guest – Leave as a friend.

Blending Our Heritage
When the Mason and Somerset churches voted to merge and form a new creation in a new from-the-ground-up church home, a blending committee was formed to decide what elements of both churches' heritage should be preserved and honored. Cindy Moore is the last active Heritage member who served on that committee. One decision was already made – what to do about the old Somerset building.
Somerset Church -The Somerset congregation donated the structure to the Pioneer Village at Sharon Woods Park where it was restored to its original 1829 appearance as a representative example of early 1800's churches. The church may be visited whenever the village is open to the public. It can be used for weddings and events by special arrangement. In outfitting our new building, the blending committee selected special items to provide memory bridges to our parent churches:
Building Design – A modern structure with superb accessibility, our building design borrows traditional elements from our former 1800-era churches: a steeple, arched windows, brick construction and peaked roofs.
Stained glass window – The triptych window of Christ flanked by two angels was moved from the Mason church. A gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watkins in memory of their daughter, the window set was more than 70 years old at the time of the merger. It was cleaned, enlarged and reinforced before installation in the apse wall at Heritage. An older Mason member claimed that one of the angels was modeled on the Watkins' daughter.
Communion service – A complete silver communion set from the Somerset church, each piece engraved with the date 1892, was used to celebrate the Lord's Supper at Heritage in the early years after the merger. Today the set is displayed in a glass case in the Fireside Room, along with communion ware and antique pulpit Bible from the Mason church.
Somerset Church Bell – The bell was removed from the old church before the move to the Pioneer Village. Installed in the belfry at Heritage, it rings the hour and half-hour.
Hand Bells – A generous gift from an anonymous member at the Mason church and added to by others over the years, our bells have been given the white glove treatment and wonderfully played by our adult and youth hand bell choirs for about a quarter-century.
Somerset Friendship Quilt – This was created by the women of Somerset in 1989 after the decision to seek redevelopment and leave the old church home. Intended as a memory quilt, it features needlework of the old building in the center surrounded by squares for each family of Somerset. The quilt hangs on the back wall on the left side of the Heritage sanctuary.
Anniversary Quilt – Mounted on the back wall on the right side, this quilt was created by the Presbytery to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Presbyterian worship in our corner of Ohio. Each church in the Presbytery created its own square showing its date of founding. As the first new church formed following the bi-centennial, Heritage was asked if we would be custodians of the quilt. It had held a place of honor here ever since.
Heritage Missions – We have continued outreach missions started at our founding churches. Our coat drive and angel tree are continuations of Project Love, started at the Mason church in 1970. Our mission to Mary Haven, Warren County's residence for troubled youth, dates back to the '70s as well.

Did you know a third of your life is spent sleeping? Well, it should be anyway. The thing is, nowadays many of us don't get the recommended 7-8 hours a night – even though it's a vital ingredient in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Quality sleep boosts your mood, your performance, your immune system, your memory and your energy levels. So finish your cocoa, fluff up your pillow and discover 5 key benefits of a good night's sleep.
Sleep boosts your immunity
One of the body's most important jobs is protecting us from disease – but to do that effectively it needs the immune systems to be at full strength. The immune system goes to war against any invaders, attacking and repelling viruses and disease. Yet numerous research studies have shown that our immunity becomes weaker when we don't get enough sleep. Your nightly 8 hours gives your system the time it needs for some R & R before going once more into the breach.
Sleep improves athletic performance
A good night's sleep will make you more likely to wake up feeling refreshed, energised and ready to make the most of every day. At the same time it can also improve your athletic performance, building the mental strength you need to hit the gym at full force. A recent study by Stanford University has even found that sleep has just as much impact on training performance as diet. A full night's sleep doesn't just set you up for the day ahead, but also allows your body to regain the energy it loses from working out.
Sleep makes you healthier
OK, so a good night's sleep won't counteract the effects of a big plate of fish and chips or a night on the town. Even so, it can be just as important as sweating it out at the gym when it comes to keeping our weight under control. That's because sleeping can regulate the hormones that affect our appetite, which explains why we can often feel hungrier on the days we haven't slept well.
A lack of sleep, on the other hand, can lead to sight gain by slowing down your metabolism. It can also cause you to overeat, tempting you to choose food that's high in calories in an effort to curb your hunger. Studies published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (which you probably subscribe to) found that sleeping less than six hours per night triggers the part of the brain that increases the need to eat – even when you may not be hungry.
Sleep makes you happier
You know how it feels when you've had a restless night: you can feel irritable and impatient and cranky. You might struggle to concentrate. You snap and lose your patience more quickly. To put it another way, you've got out the wrong side of bed. More seriously, a lack of sleep is strongly associated with depression and mental illness, making it even important to ensure you're getting the hours you need to rebalance the chemicals and hormones that affect your mentality and well-being. A really good night's rest, by contrast, leaves you feeling more optimistic, brighter, and happier.
Sleep reduces stress
We all have to deal with stress whether it's coping with work, running a home, or simply trying to walk down Oxford Street on a Saturday afternoon. The best way to stay on top of life's little pressures is, yes, a good night's sleep. Too much stress can affect us both emotionally and physically and make us feel tense, anxious, even depressed. It's a known fact that sleep and stress go hand in hand, so make sure you give your mind and body the chance to restore themselves overnight. Waking up feeling fresh and rested makes it so much easier to deal with whatever comes your way.
How to get a better night's sleep
Finding it tricky to sleep well? A few simple changes to your routine can change all that to help you start each day feeling fresh, rested and relaxed.
– Turn your phone to black and white in the evening.
– Try to avoid it altogether in your final hour before bed.
– Avoid sleeping in, even on weekends.
– Limit the amount of caffeine you drink.
– Avoid big meals at night and eat earlier in the evening.
– Cut out the snacking after 9pm.
– Forget about the large brandy before bed.
– Cut back on sugary foods and refined carbs.
– Try meditation or yoga to help you unwind and relax after a busy day.
– Speak to your doctor to rule out any other problems that could be getting in the way.
– And last but far from least, exercise regularly.
Did someone say regular exercise? Well, that's where the free Esquared app comes in, making it easy to find and book 2-hour gym sessions and one-off classes at premium gyms across London, the UK and now the world.

Heather sounds bright enough to be to be able to tell if the crown of the plant is covered. Who knows maybe it got knocked over and much of the soil spilled out. I can see adding soil if it is as heather states. what I think would be of greater concern is: How much bigger is the new pot. If it is too big conditions are ripe for root rot if it is continually over watered.

GTA REALTORS® reported 9,880 sales through MLS in July 2015, representing an eight per cent increase compared to July 2014. The average price has jumped to $609,236 – a 10.6 per cent increase in a year-over-year comparison.
Another great report from the Toronto Real Estate Board and as I had predicted, TREB is heading towards a record year. The Torontoism Team was very busy till just a few days ago and it looks as if we will have a more normal quiet August.
The scariest issue in the TREB report is the absorption rate being just under two months. That is very low and means that if nothing new came to the market from today on, it would take less that two months to run out of inventory. Normal would be an absorption rate of four or even six months.
A continuous lack of inventory means a heated market where we see more multiple offers and prices moving up farther, especially with still lower interest rates. Looks like it will be another busy fall. If you are thinking about buying or selling, let us help you get all your ducks in a row!!

A Windy Retort.
In the wake of Vestas's potential closure the Times has a timely piece:
"Britain's countryside and coastline will be dotted with 2,700 new wind turbines by 2012 — more than double the existing total — according to an industry survey of approved wind farms.
The figures contradict claims by Vestas, owner of the country's only significant wind turbine factory, that demand is too low to justify continuing production.
The Danish company will go to court today to seek a possession order allowing it to evict 18 members of staff who have spent the past ten days barricaded inside offices at the factory at Newport in the Isle of Wight.
They are protesting over the imminent closure of the factory with the loss of 625 jobs. Production ceased last week and the factory is due to close on Friday. Last night, Vestas sacked the 18 men for gross misconduct. They stand to lose up to £10,000 each in redundancy payments.
Mark Smith, one of the workers, said that the protest would continue until Vestas agreed to resume production or the Government nationalised the factory. "

Editor's note: This story has been updated with responses from Dick's Sporting Goods.
(CNN) -- A 12-year-old girl from Arizona called out Dick's Sporting Goods for failing to include female athletes in its 2014 basketball catalog -- and got plenty of backup on the Web.
Now the company's CEO has responded and offered to apologize in person to McKenna Peterson and her family.
McKenna's letter to the company, which her father tweeted, drew attention to the lack of gender equality in its latest basketball ads.
"I think that girls should be treated as equally as boys are treated," she wrote. "I, myself, enjoying playing and watching basketball, WOMENS basketball."
The self-proclaimed "Fabulous Basketball Player" was praised on Twitter for bringing attention to the issue.
@TheCheapSeatsTV Great job, McKenna! Thank you for standing up for us women and for what you believe in. Your move, @DICKS.— Kelsey Perry (@kelseyperry17) October 10, 2014
Although the basketball catalog does include women, they are portrayed in passive or supportive roles: "sitting in the stands" or "mentioned once in the catalog on page 5 for some shoes" or as "cheerleaders on some coupons," McKenna wrote.
"It's hard enough for girls to break through in this sport as it is, without you guys excluding us from your catalog," she added.
The Petersons said they might take their business elsewhere unless Dick's resolved to include more women in its advertising; McKenna even named several of her favorite professional women's basketball players who would fit the bill in the letter.
My 12yr old basketball loving daughter got the latest @DICKS catalog & had a big problem with it. She wrote a letter. pic.twitter.com/MH46ktNOaw— ChrisPetersonTCS (@TheCheapSeatsTV) October 9, 2014
"Maybe my dad will take me to some other store that supports girls to actually PLAY basketball and follow their dreams and not sit on the sidelines and watch the game to get my next pair of shoes and equipment," McKenna wrote.
McKenna's father, Chris Peterson, tweeted out a response note the family received from Dick's and expressed his disappointment with the "form letter."
I guess I should check my email. A response from @DICKS #FormLetter #BrushOff #McKennasNotSatisfied pic.twitter.com/vqaBByjTB3— ChrisPetersonTCS (@TheCheapSeatsTV) October 9, 2014
A Dick's representative later contacted the family by phone.
"They said that they liked her letter and that in future publications they will consider putting more women in the catalog," Peterson told CNN. "They also pointed us to a commercial that they are running that apparently has a girl in it. It was a very nice conversation that McKenna re-stated her opinion that there needs to be more girls represented."
Over the weekend, Dick's CEO Ed Stack addressed McKenna's concerns in a letter the company posted to Twitter. Stack said Dick's "messed up" and promised to include female athletes in the next basketball catalog. He also offered to meet with the family during a future trip to Arizona.

The hacker group Lizard Squad claims to have brought down game publisher Electronic Arts' servers. If it's true, there are going to be some more angry gamers.
Lizard Squad tweeted its usual terse message, saying "EA #offline #LizardSquad." We've asked EA for comment and haven't heard back. But numerous players are starting to complain that they can't access their EA games. Others are saying that the servers are back up.
Xbox Live was also brought down on two occasions this month, reportedly by Lizard Squad's distributed denial of service attacks, where its members flood servers with junk messages to overwhelm them and take them offline. Lizard Squad also claimed credit for bringing down Call of Duty, Destiny, and EA games back in September. Sony's PlayStation Network was also attacked.
We'll keep you posted if we hear more.

Blood Feud Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Modern Day Terrorists Ishmaelites Al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden began his terror network in Saudi Arabia making him the first international Ishmaelite terrorist. Bin Laden named his group al Qaeda which in Arabic means "the base." It is formed primarily of mujahedeen, meaning holy warriors, and others fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. Osama began his jihad with the goals of uniting Sunni Muslims against Israel into an Islamic caliphate and drawing the United States, the Great Satan into the battle. To that end he succeeded. On February 26, 1993, a 500-kilogram bomb exploded in a garage under World Trade Center in New York, killing six and injuring 1,042. In 1996, to forward his goal, al Qaeda detonated a truck bomb against U.S. occupied forces in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans. For the next six years Bin Laden's reign of terror went unchecked by then US President Bill Clinton as bombs were exploded in Sudan and Afghanistan before hitting U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing more than 231 people and injuring 5,000. Bill Clinton ordered air strikes against suspected al Qaeda training camps in Sudan and Afghanistan while it is debated in

Safety – it's in our DNA
We're leaders in traffic safety. And our vision is that no truck is to be involved in an accident. We established our Accident Research Team in 1969 and have been at the frontline of safety ever since – pioneering innovations that prevent accidents and reduce injuries. Not only for the driver. For everyone.
With night mode, drivers have the option of instantly switching off all unnecessary dashboard backlights with the press of a button. The result is less glare in the driver's field of vision, and fewer distractions from reflections in the windscreen and side mirrors. It is best suited to long-haul drivers when driving at night, and when reversing and manoeuvring in tough weather conditions or complex environments, such as when connecting or disconnecting trailers.
Our active safety initiatives are designed to avoid the errors that cause around 90% of all traffic accidents. So we help our drivers see more. We keep them comfortable and focused. And we equip our trucks with systems and technology that take safety to the next level.
Reducing injury
Unfortunately, accidents do happen – so our passive safety initiatives focus on minimising the risk of injury when they do. As a result, we concentrate on building trucks that give the driver, passengers and other road users as much protection as possible.

Although it is often believed that men are the strongest gender, when it comes to wellness, women have an advantage.
Do you see a difference in commitment to training between you and the opposite sex, your other half, siblings, friends? Although these differences in will power are more related to one's personality than to gender, there are some points that must be considered when comparing the willingness of men and women to commit to the training routine.
Connectivity vs. Competition
If we compare how many men and how many women train alone in the gym, men are likely to win. However, take a look at any gym class, it does not matter if it's kickboxing or yoga and you'll find that most motivated people are women. Because? A good approach to better understand this is to know the differences between the male and female brains. The brain of men and women is different from the moment of birth and guides their impulses, values and reality. Although we live in the 21st century, we inhabit bodies built to live in the jungle and because of that our instincts are still linked to protection. While the male brain receives the influence of testosterone, which makes them more competitive and interested in power when they mature, that of women has higher levels of estrogen, which makes them more connected and communicative. That's why a majority of women are more likely to become more involved with sports if it means taking a class with their friends.
It is also worth considering this female desire to connect when we look at the will and the Rubicon Model of Action Phases. Although we always talk about motivation, the will really is what makes you act. If you compare motivation with an engine, the will would be the fuel that makes the engine run. The Rubicon Model defines clear boundaries between the motivational and action phases. He stresses that an individual needs a lot more will when it comes to working against external disturbances that may make him give up on his goals and question if they are worth all that effort. A common external disturbance is social interactions. Most of the time, if you want to achieve a fitness goal, such as losing weight or improving performance, you have to be willing to sacrifice that weekly dinner and drinks with friends for a while. By the influence of testosterone, it is possible to ignore these distractions and focus on the goal more easily for men than for women, who are more connected. And, in fact, it has already been shown that testosterone can decrease both speech and interest in socializing - except in certain circumstances, such as in sports. However, while the ability to form close connections has helped us keep alive in the past (or at least that's what we heard), it may be harder for women to give up socializing because of the more connective parts of their brain . Fortunately, women are currently finding ways to overcome this obstacle. For example, training with Freeletics in a group means that women do not necessarily have to choose. Friday night drinks became the Saturday morning races, and that social aspect is what makes so many women come back wanting more.
Multi-tasking: competitive advantage or not?
It is believed that women are better at doing various things at the same time than men. Even though this skill is extremely useful these days for women who have a career, family, sports, and other hobbies, this can cause them to lose their self-control. The problem here is not the lack of wellness or goals. The problem is to have many goals and decisions competing with each other. Often these goals clash, making the individual more worried and causing him to finish fewer things yet. No matter if you are male or female, our advice is: do not stress, do not worry and remember ... having planning and priorities is everything. Always expect obstacles and always plan B to get past them.
We may not be able to change our gender or our biological instincts, but understanding what makes us think or act in a certain way can direct our attitude the way we want to go, and we can use certain strengths or weaknesses in our favor. Remember that gender is not a "limitation" because it does not exist.

O: No I don't.
E: Do you know where the Ridleys came from?
O: No they all were from up in Chatsworth. around in there someplace. Now, the Pettys came from Elijay and around in there ....Fannin County. Now, Grandma's Daddy's mother was name Jane. Jane Garrett. They were from Fannin County. Some of them come and see us. Said we were related, But I didn't know them.
E: Did you know anything about the Mashburn Family?
O: No.
E: Know anything about the Killians?
O: Grandma Ridley was a Killian. And Kate's first name was really Killian. Grandma Ridley and Grandma Petty all died when I was a baby. Now, Grandpa Petty, I was three weeks old when he died. He kept on waiting to see the baby because it had red hair that was me they carried me over there when I was three weeks old, before the day was over he died.
E: When you first went to work for pay, where did you work Dalton?
O: Yes. I worked in a hosery mill there. I worked during school vacation. The last year that I went to school I worked that summer. Georgia was working there and she got me a job.
E: How did Georgia meet Cecil Grant?
O: In Dalton. And I didn't know anything about money when I got paid Georgia would take my money and give me a little change out of it and she would take the rest of it and give it to Mama and Papa to run on. I worked for a pair of ___?__
and an ice cream. That's what I got out of it.
E: What about Tom? Was he working to help out too?
O: Tom was a self centered person. He didn't help out with anybody. I never will forget when he was in school.he didn't finish school....he went off to Detroit to work I beleive...and he run out of money and couldn't get a job and he wrote home and said he was blind. That's when we lived on the farm. And Papa sent him the money to come home home on. He met the train....we were all out in the front yard waiting. Thought Papa would be leading Tom. Well, he wasn't no more blind than I am. That was just his temperment. He just told anything to suit himself, absolutely. I know one time there on the farm...I think it was Fourth of July, we usually tried to have the crops laid by, and Tom, I don't know where he was working, but he wasn't living at home, Wallace was. We were all out there in the field working and here comes Tom walking out in these red fields with white shoes, white pants, and a white straw hat on. That made Wallace so mad he said he thought about wallowing him down in that dirt. He was paying us a visit. Ha ha. He wasn't a homebody, he was a taker, not a giver. Now, that may sound kind of bad with him dead and gone, but the truth is the truth.
E: What about Georgia?
O: She was more or less a taker too.
E: Wallace?
O: Wallace was a silent partner you might call him. He didn't have to say it, but he was always there if you need him. Wallace was real quiet.
E: Osmo. Didn't you and he go to Detroit together?
O: He was up there working and hed wrote me to come up and go to work. He said he would send me money to come on which he did. It was on a Saturday, I wasn't expecting it. I wrote and told him I would come but I wasn't expecting to go that soon. I was staying at y'all's house.
E: On Manget Street?
O: No. You weren't born. Frances was a baby. I got this money telegram. I had to get up there and get it cashed. I had to leave Marietta by six o'clock that night on the bus. And he would meet me in Detroit the next afternoon late. I had my hair rolled up when I got it and I had a little over an hour. I took a cab up there and got the telegram cashed, ran back and packed things. And I had my hair rolled up, caught another cab to the bus station and took a bus to Detroit. And I took my hair down in Cincinniti.
E: Did he have you a job in Detroit?
O: I got my own job. He had an apartment. He and Stanley Petty. I went up and stayed with ;them.
E: Where did they work?
O: Some brass company. Robert Pratt or something like that. Some brass I'm not sure.
E: Where did you work?
O: I got a job in a hosery mill that time. I didn't stay up there all that long then. I came back home, and I went back. Leonard was up there. Osmo was in the service. Leonard wanted me to come.
E: Did Osmo have a wild life up there? Drinking a lots?
O: He sure did. Ha ha. That's why I come home. Ha ha.
E: Didn't you say he got into a lot of bar room fights?
O: Yeah, ha ha. I was just telling Janie this afternoon about Stanley and Osmo were living together when I moved in. Osmo when he got his pay would get drunk. I got to where I would go over to where he worked and get his pay...but, if I didn't beat him to it he would spend it all. One time when I went over there well, he hadn't met Gerry then
E: Who's Gerry?
O: That was his first wife. She came over to my apartment. She worked where I did. I said, "I got to get over to Shaw's Bar before Osmo spends it all."
She said, "I'll got with you."
We walked in and there was this girl sitting up there with him. I sat down, Osmo turned around and said, "Who are you?"
And I said, "I've come after your pay."
And he said, "Who's that with you?
And I said, "That's your wife don't you recognize her?" And boy, that old girl got up and left. Ha ha. So Gerry sat down and said, "Since I'm your wife, buy me a drink and hand Opal your pay." He did.
E: Then they got married?
O: Not then, but he married her latter. He married her twice.
E: Did they have any children?
O: No. She was an all together different person from Osmo.
E: What was her last name?
O: Gerry...you know, I can't remember.
E: He married twice didn't he?
O: He married Gerry twice. Then he married Violet.
E: Are all his children by Violet?
O: Yes.
E: What are their names?
O: Viola, Osmo, Roscoe....see, Osmo was a twin....and he just had two boys.....so he named them after the twins, Roscoe and Osmo. Viola, Roscoe, Osmo, Brinda, and Gyrtle....that's six.
E: How many did he have?
O: Seven. Two boys and five girls.
E: Do they all live in Indiana? Besides Viola?
O: No. Some of them live in Florida.
E: What about Rosco. He lived with Roy for a while..
O: But not for long. Roy sent him home. He went into the service somebody said. I don't know.
E: Is Roscoe the oldest son?
O: No, Osmo is the oldest son. Viola was the oldest child. I don't know them very well.
E: Yeah, I only saw them about once or twice in my life. When I was about nine or ten they came through Marietta a couple of times.
O: I seen Roscoe one time and that was when Osmo, they called him "Moe". Moe and Brenda...and some of other kid ran off and they come down here and Osmo found out they were gone and had the law pick them up. He felt that they were heading towards Marietta. They picked them up...and Leonard had to go up there and pick Moe and Brenda out, but he couldn't get the other kid because he wasn't related to him. Then Osmo came down. Held him there until he came. He brought a letter from the other child's parents and he and Leonard had to go up there with the letter to get that one out.
E: When was that?
O: I know it has been over four years ago.four or five.
E: Well, Osmo died about two years ago.
O: Two years ago...a little over two years now. I never did know well, he could have committed suicide but somehow or another I just can't beleive it. What I am going by is that he was still sitting at the table. Now, if he had shot himself at close range like that it would have knocked him outof the chair. So, that's what I'm going by. And I tell you, they lived such a life up there, and I guess they were just considered trash and ;the law didn't take a hand in it, thought, "Well,, that's well and good, that's one more out of the way."
E: Osmo drank a lot...
O: And always in a fight.
E: Did he have any scars from all his fights?
O: No. When we were living in Detroit together one night there Osmo was all dressed up, and Stanley was too, they wanted to go over to some bar the next street over and I was with them and Osmo gave me a nickle for the jukebox. And when I went there to put in I dropped it and this couple sitting at the table a big truck driver type and you know how short Osmo was and a woman....you know...some kind of....you know. She got down trying to help me hunt the nickle.."Find anything?"
And Osmo came there and said, "You get away from her you " and he called her a name "That's my sister, don't you touch her." So the big old truck driver got up and took it up. Osmo had inaudable _______ in him just like a little fice dog.
So the guy said, "You just go ahead and mind your own business".
And Osmo said, "you shut your mough, or I'll shut it for you."
He said, "Lets see you". And Osmo drawed back and hit him and then they got in a fight. The truck driver swung and Osmo hit me in the eye and blackened it. The bartender was call ing the police.
And I said, "I'm getting out out of here." When he went over there he was all dressed up with a suit and a pair of inaudable work gloves. I got him outside and he said he for got his gloves he was going back to get them. I told him I would go get them. I went back and got them. And got home,
I sat him down to play cards and he turned around and saw my black eye.
He said "Where did you get that black eye?"
And I said, "Over at the bar." He grabbed his inaudable and I grabbed my coat and was right behind him. He went across the street to this resturant ran right through it through the kitchen and got a meat cleaver and took out the back door up the alley and I was right behind him. Got over there... He outran me, but I walked up....saw him and that couple was sitting up there on bar stools just laughing and talking. I walked in.
That old woman said, "We're friends now."
And I said, "Come on Osmo, lets go home."
And that guy said, "Well, we're fixing to leave, we will take 58
you home."
I said, "No, we just live a block over there."
He said, "We are going to take a taxi and we'll drop you off."
That old woman kept saying, "We're old friends." Just a kissing (making motions kissing up and down her arms). I thought I wanted to go home and take a bath...her kissing up and down my arms...but I would ride in their taxi, anything for peace.
I said, "You get out of my sight."
Osmo said, "Do you think I am going to stay here?"
I said, "Yes!" And I just drawed back and hit him in the face and knocked him out. I used to do that all the time up there. That's the only I could handle him. He would be so drunk it wouldn't take much. I know one time there was a crowd over and he was going to inaudible and I said, "I can stop him. We were with Charlie and his wife.
His wife said, "Can she?"
Charlie said, "Yeah, you just watch her, she'll land him in a minute."
His wife said, "I'm going to try it on you."
Charlie said, "It won't work on me, I'm from the South."
Osmo had to be drunk before I could do it. That's all I could do. Stanley was the big coward. See, Osmo would start everything and when he got it started Stanley would run. Stanley would ag him on. But when Osmo got it started Stanley would run. That's all water under the bridge. To tell you the truth Osmo was the smartest one of the whole family. As far as being smart. He had a brillant mind.
E: I never heard that before.
O: That's true. He had a brillant mind. He got to drinking and let that get ahold of him.
E: I'm almost out of tape, I guess I better close this out. I think we got some goot stuff here.
O: I hope so. Did I help you out any?
E: Yes, you did, very much. Thank you.
