ello my name is Eunice and I had the
pleasure of riding at Rich Bradshaw’s
training stable last month. This event was
very special to me because it was the first
time I was riding with my father, and also
it was my first time riding since my tragic
accident five years ago. Here is my story. Ever since I was a child, I had an
insatiable obsession with horses. I loved
all animals but there was something extra
special about horses. I grew up in the
suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland where
there are not too many farms around. So
whenever we go on a road trip and we pass
by a horse farm, the entire family had to pull
over so that I could gaze at the field while
hoping to pet some horses.
Years passed by until finally, after
graduating from college and moving to
Cleveland with my sister, I was able to afford
the time and money to get riding lessons.
Looking back, the autumn of 2010 was one
of the best times of my life. I would spend
countless hours at the barn, doing choirs,
brushing horses, shoveling manure, all of
which were very enjoyable to me. I find that
there’s something magical about the fresh
clean morning air with a hint of dirt and
hay. I spent about four months in Cleveland,
before moving onto the next chapter in my
life, which was attending graduate school
in Korea.
Although Korea is a very small country
with most of the universities located in
cities, my school and my home was in
the countryside where there was a riding
stable nearby. I just want to point out that
horse riding in Korea is not very common
because of
scarce resources
(land and
horses). It can
be considered
an
expensive
hobby, so
there are not
many trainers
available for
people who
want to ride
for pleasure.
Nonetheless,
I was lucky
enough that
I had a small
stable near
m y h o m e
which I could
stop by at my
convenience.

of the Fox 8 family, joining Bill Martin
as co-anchor of Fox 8 News
at 7 p.m. Noreika grew up in
Geauga County, watching Fox 8
News and actually visited Fox 8
News as a high school student
interested in TV news. Noreika went to school
at beautiful Ohio University,
studying political science and
telecommunications, then went
straight to her first job in Oak
Hill, W.V. as a weekend weather
person and a multimedia
journalist. She moved to
Charleston, W.V .and stayed
there for several years, then
worked in Boston as an anchor
and reporter and now is back in
Cleveland.
“There’s nothing like

“I anchor the 7 p.m. with Bill Martin and
get to know everyone, it’s more like I came
back to where I’m supposed to be and I was
welcomed with open arms. Everyone
here is as friendly and genuine as they

me feel so very welcome. Noreika grew up in Huntsburg
and her first job was at the Huntsburg
Dairy Whip. She attended Huntsburg
Elementary School, which is no more
and makes her kind of sad, but she
does like to visit the grounds during
the Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival. She
is a graduate of Cardinal High School
in Middlefield.
“One of my favorite places is the
Century Village in Burton and Sun
Rise Farms,” Noreika said. “There is just
something different about the air in
Geauga County that makes me feel
right at home as soon as I’m there. It’s
so nice I don’t have to go months, or
even years before experiencing the
wonderful sense of home anymore
because I’m already here. Being able to
deliver the news to the people who matter
the most to me in the world is such a
blessing and very rewarding. I am so happy
to be home.”

geaugalibrary.net. Here are a few children’s
books about insects that you might enjoy
while you wait for our fun bug programs.
“The Ladybug Race” by Amy Nielander.
Hundreds of ladybugs red, orange, brown,
yellow, and black race across the pages of
this book, each hoping to be the first to
cross the finish line. Will the winner be the
fastest? Or the kindest? Maybe there will be
more than one winner. What does it mean
to win? Ladybugs don t speak our language,
so there are no words, just pictures. Turn the
pages and watch the bugs compete in this
exciting race.
“Love from the Very Hungry Caterpillar”
by Eric Carle. “You are the cherry on my
cake; you make the sun shine brighter;
you make my heart flutter.” Using a range
of images from the World of Eric Carle, and
featuring the Very Hungry Caterpillar, this

and brighter place.

ladybugs are red as you complete different
fun craft activities. Filled with bees, bugs,
worms, and more, this book is the perfect
spring and summertime companion for
children.
“The Usborne Big Book of Bugs” by
Emily Bone. From an amazing stick insect
longer than your arm to gigantic spiders
as big as a dinner plate, this book’s huge
fold-out pages let readers discover how big
some of the biggest bugs in the world really
are.
“Busy Bug Builds a Fort” by David A.
Carter. Busy Bug wants to build a fort. But
how? Then his friend Bitsy Bee stops by and
shows Busy that there are building things
all around!
“Walter’s Wonderful Web” by Tim
Hopgood. A determined little spider named
Walter is trying to make a sturdy web that
will stand up to the blustery wind. The
webs he makes at first are woven in special
shapes--a triangle, a square, a circle--but
they are still wobbly. Can Walter make a
web that is both wonderful and strong?

Briar Hill Health Care Residence
The Supremacy of Love
Vicki Wilson
Director of Marketing – The Hills
E
very business has its beginnings for a reason. An entrepreneur has an idea, a group
of investors decide to pool their resources, or perhaps a person hears a call to his
or her heart to serve others.
Choosing a nursing home for a loved one is possibly the most important decision a family
must make. It is truly a great responsibility to make a decision of this magnitude knowing it
will so dramatically affect the life of someone we value and cherish. If there is one distinguishing factor, one significant value, one
primary thing that would separate The Hills
homes from another, it is love.
What holds a family together? What one
factor is important above all others, above
money, above material possessions, above
all else? Love. Love is a commitment to
each other to do what is right. Love is the
unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern
for the good of another. We support each
other, encourage each other, and sacrifice
for each other because we love. Love is the
cornerstone on which The Hills family of
nursing homes was built. We care deeply
about our residents, about who they are
and what they need. Ensuring that each
resident receives respect, dignity and the
best service that we can deliver is evidence
of that love. We care for our residents, we
care for their families, and we care for each
other.
If there is a scarlet thread that weaves
throughout the sentiments and stories our
customers share, it is the loving care they
receive at one of the Hills’ family of homes.
“Dear Staff at Briar Hill H
ealth Care Residence,
Thank you for your kind
ness, care, support and fr
iendship. Briar Hill is truly a
special, wonderful place
to call
home. My family is gratef
ul to you for all of the lo
ving
ways you cared for my M
om the past few years. I
know
she thrived on the attent
ion, and the kindness an
d
laughter you shared with
her. As her only child, I ap
preciate how you cared fo
r me too! Even though I
could
not give her the care she
needed at home, I thank
you
for the special times I was
able to have with her. It w
as
because you took excelle
nt care of her that I was
able to
concentrate on being he
r daughter, not her caregi
ver.
Mom loved you all and co
nsidered the nurses and
“her
girls” a part of our family
. I learned to trust and de
pend
on you too because you
were there to support all
of us. I
have precious memories
of my Mom’s last years at
Briar
Hill. Thank you for stayin
g in touch with me to se
e how
I’m doing. I’d like to com
e back to volunteer for th
e
residents and with the pe
ople my Mom counted as
her
family. I’m grateful for al
l of you.
Sincerely,
“We are called to serve those
who are entrusted to us.”
A Thankful Daughter”

on a hand-operated press. The name was changed to The Middlefield Times in 1903. It was
later consolidated with Burton’s newspaper Geauga Leader and the name was changed to the

“Caring for the Whole Family”
Here is a photo for our Parkman readers. It is the Johnson Hardware that was located on what
is now Route 528 near the intersection with Route 422. It was owned by Earl L. Johnson, who, in
addition to his business, held the office of township clerk for many years. In talking to some of
Parkman’s current longtime residents, they recall being served by Stubby Johnson. The building
in earlier years served as the switchboard location for the Parkman Telephone Company that was
formed in 1902. In later years it was the location of Star Cycle.

Each quarter Cardinal Middle School rewards a group of a dozen sixth-grade students
with breakfast. This group of students is known as the Dedicated Dozen. Sixth-grade
teachers use behavior, grades and PRIDE points to determine which students are the best
of the best for the quarter. A special emphasis was placed on effort during the third quarter
and those Dedicated Dozen students received their breakfast reward at the end of March.
Teachers said they had a hard time limiting the number to 12, so there are 15 in the newest
group which includes: John A., Olivia B., Kathryn B., Chloe D., Lindsay H., Lorelei H., Anthony
L., John Mark M., Micah M., Olivia O., Aaron R., Jordan R., Karalyn R., Lauren S. and Edward Y.

Financial Independence
I
n my last column
I
wrote
about
financial illiteracy
and
how
many
American’s are living
on the edge. A little
known fact is that 57
percent of American’s
do not put one cent
away for their future. If you are counting
on your parents leaving you a windfall of
an inheritance; the average inheritance is
spent in 18 months.
I can tell you that all the hard work
and sacrifice it takes to become financially
independent and debt free is well worth
the effort. There are no better feelings than
being truly loved by someone and being
debt free. If someone says they love you but
their spending habits are drowning you in
debt, they may be more in love with your
wallet; Hey, I am just saying!
Here is how you start toward financial
independence. You reach financial success
by saving one dollar at a time, not by
winning the lottery.
1. Write down every penny you spend
during a month; house payment, rent,
car payment, coffee, meals, groceries;
everything! At the end of the month add up
all you’ve spent and see what you can do
without. You may be surprised at how much
you spent on junk you didn’t need.
2. Make a budget with fixed expenses is
a priority. You can find examples on line
and find a plan that works for you. Save
10 percent of every paycheck for your
retirement. Items like dinners out, movies
and concerts should only be enjoyed if you
can’t pay cash and never take out a loan for
a vacation - NEVER!
3. What can you scale back on? A less
expensive phone plan, pay for view, eating
out, liquor and if you smoke, improve your
health and bottom line by quitting.
4. Plan your meals around what is on sale
that week and do your waistline and your
budget some good by cutting out the
chips, Twinkies and Latte’s. Start jogging at
lunch and skip the fast food line for some
fruit that is in season and good for you. Get
a water filter and skip the bottled water.
5. Put off a large purchase until you can
save up and pay cash for it, finding it on sale
is a plus!
6. Get a second source of income and put
all of those earnings away for the future.
You should have at least six months reserve
for emergencies, layoffs or unforeseen
expenses.
7. American’s learned little from the last
crash in 2009. The next one will be worse,
longer and devastating for many who are
going to lose much. In 2008, I pulled out of
the stock market; I never lost a cent.

and I remember being in free fall for a split
second. I also remember feeling scared that
the horse might step on me, so I cringed.
So the combination of not breaking my fall
and not relaxing my body, I ended up with
a broken back.
I was in so much pain, no words can
describe it, but someone told me years
after that breaking a backbone feels like
your soul ripping out of your body. I agree. I
was shipped to the emergency room where
I found out I had a compression fracture in
my fourth lumbar and I could potentially
need surgery. After many examinations,
the doctors recommended that I let it heal
naturally which meant I was to be bedridden for at least a month until the fracture
mends itself. It took a very long time for
me to recover and get back to my normal
life and this story is long and boring so I’ll
summarize it: I was in bed 24 hours a day
except for very short bathroom breaks for
three weeks, then I had to wear a plastic
back brace for six months, and moved onto
wearing a back brace made of cloth and
support spines (like a corset) for about three
months. In total, it took me a whole year for
my body to heal, but my life never really
went back to normal after that. My body
wasn’t the same anymore, as I frequently
got back pains, but what was worse was the
change in my heart; what was my joy once
became a subject of fear. I didn’t necessarily
get scared of horses or being next to them,
but I never had the courage to ride again,
until last month.
Last month, I had the opportunity
to go back to Cleveland for my sister’s
wedding. Being in Cleveland again
brought back many memories, including
how I used to enjoy spending time at the
barn and riding horses. Something came
over me, and I decided I wanted to visit a
stable and depending on how confident
I felt, I would take a riding lesson. I called
a couple of stables around me, but they
were not interested in hosting two visitors
just for one hour. But one lady who I talked
to on the phone introduced me to Rich
Bradshaw’s stable so I called him. He was
kind enough to schedule us on a very short
notice, and that’s how I ended up in Burton
Fairgrounds on that Thursday.
When we arrived, the stable and indoor
arena was calm and quiet with just my
family and a couple of visitors. Unlike other
stables, especially the one in Korea, which
were always busy with people guiding their
horses through narrow passages between
stalls, horses lined up to get groomed and
mounted with saddles, other horses in the
stalls banging on the walls and whinnying
But at Rich’s stable, it was just Spud and
Dundee with their halters roped between
the pillars, while other horses in the stalls
looked at me with curiosity. There was that
smell of hay and dirt, and birds chirping in
the background; the combination of all of
these senses was just the picture of serenity
to me.
The very first thing that Rich taught
us was what you can do and what you
shouldn’t do while interacting with new
horses at a new barn. He explained to us
where to pet the horse, what they like
and dislike, how their teeth are missing
just where the mouth piece fits, the
different types of breed, etc. He was very
knowledgeable about horses, so the
combination of peaceful environment and
confidence in the trainer, made me decide
that I wanted to “get back on the horse.”
As soon as I saddled up on Spud, I
felt scared. The saddle, the height, and the
nagging question of “is this horse going
to throw me off?” made me really nervous
and my body was tense. I started walking
around the arena on Spud while my dad
was being taught the very basics of how to
sit and position the body. During the warm
up, I was focusing more on things around
me that could potentially spook my horse,
instead trying to find that connection/
relationship with Spud. When my dad
could finally sit and “drive” Dundee, Rich
brought out a huge ball made of cloth and
suggested we kick it around. Literally kick it
around like soccer. I thought that this idea
was silly at first, but when I actually started
playing horse soccer, I found myself not
paying any attention to the birds around
me, and I was actually riding again.
We were about halfway done with
the lesson when Rich showed us the
emergency dismounts and actually made
me dismount while trotting. Had someone
told me how I should grab onto the neck,
or had I practiced dismounting on a trotting
horse, I don’t think I would’ve broken my
back. Rich could’ve just easily skipped the
trouble of teaching us and making us do
the emergency dismount, since my dad
and I don’t ride frequently, but he insisted
that everybody who gets on a horse needs
to know.
I learned a lot of things that day, not
just about horses and riding, but about
myself, too. I learned that I had the courage
inside of me to “get back on the horse” and
enjoy riding like I did before my accident. As
someone who studied psychology, I know
that fear can be a crippling handicap that
can bleed through to all aspects of life. I’m
really glad that I was able to physically and
emotionally overcome my trauma, and
I’m really glad that I was able to enjoy my
favorite activity with my father for the first
time in my life.
Overall, Rich Bradshaw’s riding
stable was a fun, educational, and safe
environment for all levels of riders. I
definitely look forward to going back to
Burton Fairgrounds sometime soon to
finish my riding lessons. My next step is to
perfect the canter.

Paramedics on Speed Dial
By Ellie Behman
I
n my last article
I
covered
my
introduction
to water therapy
and
have
now
ventured into other
areas. Since then my
friend and I decided
to try another
exercise class to add
to our repertoire. People were helpful,
bringing us weights, stretch bands and
other equipment. My anxiety grew as they
suggested we go up to the front of the
class. “Oh good,” I thought. “Now those
behind me can have a good laugh as they
watch my aging skin sway to the 50s music.
Anyone remember Fats Domino
singing “I Found My Thrill on Blueberry
Hill?” Very catchy and, I might add, pretty
fast for these old legs. I am absolutely in
love with the music of that decade so I was
ready to “rock and roll” the minute it began. I
couldn’t have been more wrong about my
talent. As we began to move to the lively
music, our instructor entered a world of
her own marching, lunging, twisting and
shouting. I wondered how much coffee she
had that morning. I began to trip over my
feet while trying to listen to her and watch
at the same time.
The directions were swift, with no pause
in between to figure them out. It reminded
me of the old game we used to play where
you pat your head and rub your stomach
at the same time. Couldn’t do two things
simultaneously then, couldn’t do it now. I
hadn’t improved at all since childhood. I
used to tease my husband, telling him that
he couldn’t chew gum and walk through the
woods at the same time. Oops! Paybacks
are tough. We faced an entire mirrored wall
and I saw that everyone, except me, was
following instructions perfectly. Wonderful!
Now I could actually watch myself looking
ridiculous instead of deluding myself into
thinking I did great.
Our next routine was marching in
place. That I could do, until I realized I
enjoyed the music so much that I hadn’t noticed I had marched right up to the
mirror. The woman to my left rolled her
eyes and I quickly went back to where I
started. I know that look. Ron is the “rolling
of the eyes” expert when he thinks I’ve done
something silly. This woman obviously had
a hard time believing a grown woman
couldn’t follow a few simple instructions. I
wanted to smile and say to her, “Humor me,
please.” Instead I quietly did a backward
march out of her way.
I looked at the clock and wondered if
it was possible that only ten minutes had
passed. Could a person feel that tired and
sore in such a short amount of time? I took
a quick break and then returned for the
sitting exercises. Now that I could do really
well, as sitting is my strong suit.
The end of the session was coming
to a close and I breathed a sigh of relief. I
must admit I felt exhilarated in spite of the
workout. Next time I’ll make sure I’m at the
back of the room. After all the exercising I
wouldn’t want the seniors to over exert
themselves by laughing at my inability to
follow the routine because we’ll need the
paramedics on speed dial.

If only they could get some international
help, then they might have a chance of
defeating the trained and vastly superior
forces from England. Where could they go
for help, and who oh who could they ask
for support? Benjamin Franklin figured he
had the answer, so he travelled to France in
October of 1776 to ask those things of the
French government.
England had soundly defeated France
in the Seven Years War some 15 years or
so earlier, and France had lost Canadian
territory as a result. Over the years, over
the decades and centuries, England and
France had fought against one another, a
lot. Again and again they met in war, and
when one side would win the other side
would plot it’s revenge and ready itself for
the next opportune moment to attack the
hated rival. For France that moment came
in February 1778, when she recognized
the colonies as a sovereign nation and
declared war on England in support of her
new friend, the United States of America.

It’s time to break out of the winter
doldrums. Even though we may exercise
during the winter months, most of us
are more sedentary during that time of
year. We are so eager to get outside and
enjoy the warmer weather we may overdo
it. Becoming more active in the spring
can cause muscle tension and soreness.

activities can also set us up for a painful
injury. There is no need to suffer.
Massage can suppress inflammation
and enhance cell recovery. We’ve known
that massage improves blood flow and
reduces muscle tightness; but a study
in the February 1, 2012 issue of Science
Translational Medicine found that massage
also reduces the production of cytokines
which helps suppress inflammation. They
also found it stimulates mitochondria
which helps repair cells.
Dr. Tarnopolsky, a professor of
pediatrics and medicine at McMaster
University in Hamilton, Ontario, said that
NSAIDs (e.g., Aleve, Aspirin, or Advil) and
other anti-inflammatory drugs may actually
retard healing if used often. The next time
you’re sore from overdoing it, schedule a
massage and get ready for that next activity.

References to massage therapy date
back as far as ancient Chinese and Japanese
civilizations. There are also mentions in the
literature of the early Egyptians, Indians
and Greeks of its therapeutic effects. In
our modern world, going for a massage
can be looked at as an indulgence, a way
of relaxing and pampering ourselves. It
does that, for certain. Nobody goes for a
relaxation massage without coming out
feeling better. But therapeutic medical
massage, which involves having a trained
and licensed physical therapist or massage
therapist press, rub and mobilize the
muscles and soft tissues of your body, is
also an effective medical therapy. Besides
having a healing effect on our muscles and
surrounding tissue, it has been identified in
a number of scientific studies as beneficial
in the treatment of a growing number of
health issues.
Help for sufferers of osteoarthritis.
For example, researchers at Yale Prevention
Research Institute and at the University
of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
(UMDNJ) in 2006 identified massage therapy
as a safe and effective way to reduce pain
and improve function in adults suffering
from osteoarthritis of the knee. The results
of their 16-week study, published in the
peer-reviewed scientific journal “Archives
of Internal Medicine” detailed how 68
participants aged 35 or over with confirmed
diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the knee
were put into random groups. One group
received massage therapy immediately,
while the second group went onto a wait
group who received massage therapy
but only after an eight-week delay. Both
groups were encouraged to take previously
prescribed medications and treatments.

Massage is More Than an Indulgence
Those in the first group received a
standard one-hour Swedish massage twice
a week for four weeks, followed by Swedish
massage once a week for four more weeks.
After eight weeks, they had improved
flexibility, less pain and improved range
of motion. There were no changes in the
symptoms during the first eight weeks for
those who had to wait for their massage
therapy. However, from weeks 9 to 16 when
they did receive the massage therapy,
they had the similar benefits to the first
group. Study leaders Dr. David Katz and Dr.
Adam Perlman suggested that massage
therapy could be used in conjunction with
conventional treatment, such as physical
therapy, for osteoarthritis. Ultimately, they
suggested, massage may be shown to
lessen a patient’s reliance on medications
and decrease health care costs.
Massage helps heart surgery
patients recover. A year after the
osteoarthritis study, researchers at the
Mayo Clinic discovered that massage
therapy is effective in decreasing pain levels
for patients after heart surgery. Their study,
published in the journal “Complementary
Therapies in Clinical Practice” involved
58 patients who were undergoing heart
surgery. Thirty of them received massage
therapy and their mean pain scores were
less than 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10
being the most painful. Prior to receiving
the massage therapy, the heart patients
had rated their pain on an average of 3 on
the 10-point scale. For those who did not
receive the massage therapy, the pain score
remained unchanged over the same period
of time. The Mayo Clinic reacted swiftly to
the study and now has a full time massage
therapist available to patients undergoing
heart surgery. Lead author of the study
Susanne Cutshall said their goal was to
look at the patient’s mind, body and spirit
experience. The idea of trying the massage
therapy came as the clinic sought ways to
treat the whole patient, not just their heart.
Advanced cancer patients benefit
from massage therapy. One of the largest
studies looking at the impact of massage
therapy on pain and mood took place
in 2008 from the National Institutes of
Health. It was published in the “Annals of
Internal Medicine.” The study involved 380
advanced cancer patients in 15 United
States hospices. Those who received
massage therapy reported improvement
in pain and mood immediately following
treatment. Those who received a simple
touch did not experience the same
improvement. The researchers concluded
that the massage therapy may interrupt
the cycle of distress common for patients
of advanced cancer, offering brief physical
and psychological benefits. Massage may
also decrease inflammation and edema,
increase blood and lymphatic circulation
and relax muscle spasms. Psychologically, it
promotes relaxation, releases endorphins,
and creates a positive experience that at
least temporarily distracts from pain and
depression.
Relief for chronic low back pain. In
an earlier blog we mentioned as well that
massage therapy has also been found to ease
chronic low back pain and improve function.
This conclusion came from a randomized
controlled trial in the “Annals of Internal
Medicine.” The study was led by Dr. Daniel
C. Cherkin and involved 400 people. The
bottom line is that the benefits of massage
therapy are being scientifically studied
and they are proving to be impressive. Not
a mere indulgence, therapeutic medical
massage therapy is a significant method of
reducing pain. It reduces muscle tension,
stiffness and cramping and improves
mobility. It promotes tissue repair, reduces
inflammation and edema and reduces stress
by facilitating the release of endorphins.

Recognizing Mother France
Continued from Page 11
As an American, it is a matter of pride
for me that our nation is considered the
strongest on earth. Militarily, at least.
Americans and the American nature are
generally admired over here in France,
and many young French people’s eyes go
wide with a longing look when they hear
of or mention cities in New York, Florida,
California, or most anywhere in America. It
is best for us as Americans to be honest with
ourselves, though; there is every chance
that if France and LaFayette hadn’t come to
the aid of the young, weak, and struggling
colonial armies and rebel militias, what we
know as the United States of America today
might still be a territory under British rule.
We like to make fun of the French from
time to time, because we perceive them
as weak. ‘Frenchies’, ‘freedom fries’ instead
of French fries which was just plain silly,
stereotyping French men and chuckling
at the rather effeminate sounding nature
of their language, berating them for their
surrendering to Germany in World War II; it’s
true that we Americans have the tendency
and the freedom to poke fun at the French.
But it is estimated by historians that
more than 10,000 Frenchmen died on
American soil fighting for the independence
of the United States of America. They spent
billions of dollars aiding those American
patriots and sent scores of ships to shore up
the rather pitiful colonial fleet. By helping
the colonies become the United States of
America, even though it was really only
to create trouble for England, they made
so much financial burden for France that
QuALity, Amish
Craftsmanship
in trying to repay the debt with increased
taxes and loans, this directly contributed
to the start of the French Revolution. No
matter their motivation and no matter
the consequences of those motivations,
America owes France the respect and
acknowledgement that France made us
possible. It’s a hard pill to swallow, I know.
American pride runs deep, and accepting
that we would have to thank France for
having American ‘life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness’ is hard to stomach. But
like it or not, Uncle Sam, it’s true.
In France, French fries are called ‘frites’.
I refuse to use this word, even though I
know it and can incorporate it into the
conversation while placing my order at
any McDonalds in France. They are French
fries. They always were French fries, and
they will always be French fries. “Un moyen
French fries, s’il vous plait.“ (One medium
French fries, please.) It’s in my American
nature, a nature born of and nurtured by
our rebellious history and our revolutionary
roots, to be a bit ornery about these sorts
of things. I will continue to be so, even to
the day that it is considered to be only the
stubbornness of an old man in his dotage.
And that’s okay. It may be for a small
cause and done in a small way, but it’s wholly
American to maintain a bit of stubborn
rebelliousness in our personalities, and
completely un-American to be otherwise.
The 19-year-old Gilbert du Motier would
understand, and I’m sure that General
LaFayette would approve.

are eligible for scholarships ranging from
$300 to $1,000 through Post 9678. The
first place winner from each post then
goes on to regionals with the opportunity
to progress to the national level with
additional scholarships available.
Each year a patriotic theme is chosen
as the topic for the essay. The 2015/2016
theme was “My Vision for America.” Julia
McIntosh, the winner from VFW Post 9678,
answered this theme with an essay titled,
“American Dependency Halted or Altered”
where she discussed America’s dependency
on other nations. The theme for 2016/17 is
“My Responsibility to America.”
VFW Post 9678 is grateful for the
participation of the Cardinal School District
and would like to encourage all students
in all school districts to participate in these
essay contests. Students do not have to
participate through their schools, but should
contact the VFW closest to their home.
However, teachers are welcome to use the
essay as a class project and submit all the
essays they receive. Post 9678 would like to
pay out all the money they have allocated
to this program every year. Information
about both the Voice of Democracy and
Patriot’s Pen, including rules and judging
criteria, can be found at www.vfw.org under
the youth and education tab.
