EASTERN EDITION June 28 - July 25, 2019

Fun with marbles and donuts & other local updatesby Tracy Shahan

June 8, 2019, will go down in historyas a successful day at the Bremen AreaHistorical Society. It was the firstannual Donut Day celebration.

During World War I, volunteers whowanted to support troops were chargedwith preparing food to deliver tosoldiers on the front lines in France. TheSalvation Army dispatched over 250women there, who found that battle-tested helmets were perfect for fryingup seven donuts at a time.

In 1938, the Salvation Army decidedto honor these proclaimed “doughnutlassies” aka Donut Dollies, byrecognizing an annual pastry holidaythat could also raise awareness (andmoney) for their charitable efforts.Thus, National Donut Day was born.

Although our donuts weren’t madein battle-tested helmets (they camefrom Donut World), everyone seemedto enjoy them. We had several activi-ties that kept children and adults enter-tained. Jack and Patti Frohnapfel fromthe Ohio Glass Museum set up a mar-ble display where they explained, dem-onstrated and taught the kids the gameof marbles. There were tables set up forcrafts and traditional games such assack races, egg races and an egg tosswere played in the side yard. A superfun game for adults and kids was theDonut Strut. (Our version of a cake-walk played to the tune of BoogieWoogie Bugle Boy.) Instead of win-ning a cake, the prize was a bag full ofdoughnut holes. We also had a dough-nut eating contest. That sounds prettysimple, right? Oh no. You had to sit onyour knees, hands behind your back

and eat a doughnut hanging on string.The kids had so much fun, they keptasking to play it again. Door prizeswere awarded to the families with themost members and the most genera-tions present. There were 4 generationsof the Baker-Fisher family present, in-cluding a great-grandmother who wasvisiting from Kentucky!

It was definitely an enjoyablemorning. I want to recognize and thankall the volunteers who helped make it asuccess. Members of the Bremen AreaHistorical Society: Evalyn O’Reed,Cinda Keller, Linda Embrey, JudyTurner, Irene Kunkler, Terry & BunnyBorah and Kathy Mowry. The BremenActivities Committee: Toni Harper,Debbie Wolfe, Sally Grimm, AngiSkinner, Hillary Conrad, Tracy Shahanand Dan Rutherford. Special thanks to

Jack and Patti Frohnapfel from the Ohio Glass Museum setup a marble display where they explained, demonstrated andtaught the kids the game of marbles.

The BAHS is a volunteer oper-ated organization. Please consid-er volunteering to serve on theBoard or as a docent for the muse-um. Volunteers are also needed toarchive the artifacts that are do-nated to the museum. Our com-munity events and fundraisers

require volunteers for all kinds ofwork from stuffing envelopes togreeting people and fixing andserving food. There are currentlytwo positions on the board thatneed to be filled. The position ofTrustee and the position of Secre-tary. Call Terry Borah at 740-438-9211 for more information.

On May 16, as part of theSound the Alarm, Save a Lifecampaign, the Red Cross installed98 smoke detectors in 46 homesin the Village. Thank you to theRed Cross and volunteers for thiswonderful community service.

The Bremen Rushcreek FireDepartment, along with lawenforcement participated in safetyday at Bremen Elementary schoolon May 16th. Assistant ChiefIrwin, Captain Beery, Lt. Shahan,and firefighter Graham wereinvolved with 392 studentsattending.

As the warmer weather arrives,more people start making plans fortheir outdoor home improvementprojects (building new structures,making additions to existingbuildings, or installing fences,signs and swimming pools).Remember to obtain the permitsrequired by the Village and/orRushcreek Township building andzoning ordinances. Also, call 811Before You Dig. By state law,everyone who is going to dig ordrive a post into the ground –including homeowners andcontractors – must contact theOhio Utilities Protection Service

(OUPS) at least 48 hours, but notmore than 10 working days(excluding weekends and legalholidays), before beginning anydigging on their property. Bycalling OUPS at 8-1-1 or 1-800-362-2764, that agency willcoordinate with local utilities tohave underground lines marked atno charge to you. It’s the law.

Summer also brings roadconstruction. The township roadcrews will be out mowing,patching and preparing some ofthe area roads for chip/seal.Remember to “Give ‘Em ABrake” and slow down when

approaching or passing our roadworkers as well as our localfarmers. The following roads arescheduled to be chip sealed duringthe first phase: Holiday Road,Marietta Road, West RushvilleRoad, Tent Church and Tent Road,Ireland Road, Ireland dustmat,Fairview Road, Bethel (South) andHeyd Road. Please note the startdate is weather permitting. Thisproject will require some roadclosures. Please check thetownship websitewww.rushcreektwp.org forupdates and road closureinformation.

Another important safety issue,when mowing your yard, pleasedo not blow the grass clippings on

to the road. Grass clippings aremajority water, so when tires froma car or motorcycle have clippingsbetween them and the roadway,things can get out of control prettyquickly. It can also cause drainageand sewage problems.Last but not least, congratulationsto Connie Moyer on her retire-ment as Rushcreek Township Fis-cal Officer. Connie has beenfiscal officer since 2004 and re-tires on June 30. Nancy Mathiaswill be filling the position effec-tive July 1. Township meetingswon’t be the same without you.One of the many things I havelearned from you is “every pennycounts”. Again, congratulations,Connie, and thank you for all youhave done. Best wishes on yourfuture endeavors.

Kids (and adults) enjoyed playing the Donut Strut.

The children had fun racing each other in the sack races.

Dear Hank,Is there anything fun I can dowith my dog this summer?

There sure is! You can come outto the Hank Kabel Sarcoma 5KWalk/Run on July 13th. You canread more below on my race andstory....

by Amy Carpenter, Ph.D.

February 1, 2013 was the secondsaddest day of my life when my bestfriend and soul mate Hank wasdiagnosed with a grapefruit sizesarcoma. Back then I didn't knowthat one in three dogs get cancer and50% will pass of the disease. I hadnever heard of sarcoma and didn'tknow it was a rare cancer of theconnective tissue that dogs get fivetimes more than people, with

children getting it the second mostcommon to dogs.

I decided we had to doeverything to save my bestfriend...the one who taught me whatunconditional love was all about.We went to the best hospital at OhioState and we treated Hank's cancerwith radiation, surgery andchemotherapy... just like people do.Many people don't realize that whenwe find cancer treatments that helpdogs the treatments help people too.When OSU couldn't help Hank anymore we drove to Colorado StateUniversity where Hank underwenta limb sparing hemipelvectomy toremove his tumor that grew back,but saved his leg as well. Doctorswere able to get 99 percent of thecancer, but despite all of our bestefforts Hank's cancer metastasizedand we lost him four months later.

Losing Hank broke my heart andI knew I had to do something withmy grief and depression. I decidedto start a non-profit organizationcalled The Hank Kabel SarcomaFoundation and make our missionto raise money and awareness forcanine cancer and sarcoma.

One of our big fundraisingevents to raise money and awarenessfor canine cancer and sarcoma is a5K walk/run we do every year atThe Fairfield County Fairgrounds.This year our race will be onSaturday, July 13th. Registrationwill be from 7:30-8:30 with ouropening ceremony at 8:30 by Hank'sbench where we will unveil ourcanine cancer and sarcoma calendarfeaturing Fairfield Medical Center.

The race kicks off at 9:00 with dogsand people walking and running tobring awareness to a disease thataffects them both. After the race,festivities will continue till 3:00with speakers and raffle baskets tobid on.

Come out and bring your dog (orjust yourself) for a day of fun. If youwould like to learn more about ourorganization or race, or just make adonation, you can visit our websitea tthehankkabelsarcomafoundation.com. You can also write a check toThe Hank Kabel SarcomaFoundation and mail to 1108Coventry Circle, Lancaster, Ohio43130.

By Carolyn Tilley

According to the legends of thepast, July’s full moon is the BuckMoon. The days are long, the nightswarm and filled with stars. Deerroam the forests and unfortunatelythe fields of the farmers. This iswhen they grow their new antlers,hence the name. The full moon willoccur on July 16, and remember youcan observe it as a full moon forabout 4 days. With the often stormsthe Natives also called it theThunder Moon.

So we are going to stay here onearth this time and talk deer. Beforemoving back to Ohio, I walkedCalifornia hills deer hunting withmy husband Jack only to find themeverywhere on our family farm. Butnot so when I grew up. Those antlersstart growing in late spring on themales of our white-tailed deer. Therack’s growth is determined by diet,age, and genetics, and will continueuntil one month before the velvetsheds. This cover is a highlyvascularised tissue and may be shedin late December to February afterall females are bred. That estrus islate October and November and theydon’t eat during this rut. The antlersare used for fighting, of course. Onein 10,000 females have been knownto have antlers, also.

The white-tailed deer or Virginiadeer is native to the US, Canada,Mexico, Central America and as farsouth as Peru. It is the mostdistributed ungulate in the Americasand is introduced in other places. Itis the smallest of our deer, but soimportant to the history of Ohio. In1988 the Ohio General Assembly

made the white-tailed deer Ohio’sofficial state mammal. Ohio’s statetree, the Ohio Buckeye is namedbecause its nut resembles a deer, orbuck’s eye. Buckeye is based on theNative American word “hetuck”meaning “eye of the buck”. Theyhave been in Ohio since the end ofthe last Ice Age. They lived insoutheastern Ohio where they wereno glaciers. They played such animportant part in all the prehistoriccultures. Ohio’s native peoples usedthe deer’s meat for food, the hide forclothing, and the bones and antlersfor tools. The also used the hides,antlers, and bones for ceremonialpurposes. Archaeologists havefound deer antlers sheathed incopper at a prehistoric site, andHopewell craftspeople madeshaman characters wearing deerantlers.

As the Ice Age ended, the deerspread across Ohio and thepopulation before 1775 was healthyand stable because of good food andcover. The wolf, cougar, and NativeAmerican hunters limited thepopulation slightly. It was their mostimportant food source. AsEuropeans entered the picture, theytoo used the deer to their advantage.The hide was very valuable to themand was used to barter with thenatives and other settlers. The slangterm “buck” meaning a dollar, datesto the time with the skins, calledbuckskins, were used to barter forsupplies. Adults are reddish brownin summer to grayish brown inwinter. In a 1779 report, a largebuckskin was valued at a Spanishdollar and two doeskins wereregarded as equal to one buckskin.

As the settlement of Ohiocontinued, the deer populationdecreased. To try to save them, thegovernment established huntingrestrictions in 1857. However,hunting seasons that lasted over amonth with no bag limit continuedthrough most of the 1800’s. Becauseof the great decline, there was noseason between 1897 and 1899.

By 1904 they did not exist, andin the 1920’s and 1930’s arestocking program began, and wellas natural migration from otherstates. By 1937, they were reportedin 28 counties, and by 1943 therewere regulated hunting seasonsagain. By 1956 they were in allcounties, and now the population is750,000, maybe 30 million in U.S.

We all know they are nocturnalor crepuscular, dawn or dusk, andcan jump 30 feet in a singularbound. We love to see thesecreatures whose white underside ofthe tail being on alert, gives themtheir name. We just don’t want tosee them on the road when we are,or eating our crops, shrubs andflowers. We know the damagerubbing on the trees during the rut,to leave a scent, can do.

All hunting rules have to beobeyed for the deer now in Ohio.More than 261,314 were taken inOhio in a recent year. FairfieldCounty is a 3 deer county butvarious methods can be used. On adesignated day over 467,000 mealswere provide by hunters whodonated the meat.

On the warm July nights watchfor that Full Buck Moon.

Buckeye Lake, Ohio - TheBuckeye Lake Museum is bring-ing back a long-time tradition forJuly 3rd during the annual fire-works display that is back thisyear. The fireworks display willbegin at 10:00 p.m.

The shores of Buckeye Lakewere first lit up by thousands offlares on the night of July 4,1957, in what was one of themost unique Independence Daydisplay. Mrs. C.H. Koerner ofHarbor Hills suggested the ideaafter she saw the lightening ofthe lakeshore at ChautauquaLake, New York, where shespent her summers.

“I recall for many years theentire shoreline of Buckeye Lakewas vibrant in red”, said J-meBraig.

“I sold flares for the Commu-nity Church in a red wagon alongthe shore with my mom, Donna.It was a community effort. Peo-ple came from everywhere to seethis magnificent display.”

The Lake’s earthen dam wasunder construction for the last 5years, so the annual fireworkshave not been displayed. This

year the fireworks are returning.The new shoreline restorationwill allow many visitors to viewthe fireworks. The nature trailwalking path gives access to vis-itors from North Shore State Parkto Lieb’s Island.

Flares can be purchased at theMuseum and several placesaround the lake through July 3rd.

The money collected from thesales will go to the restoration ofthe Queen of the Lake III, the 88ft. sternwheeler currently in res-toration. The Queen of the LakeIII will be launched and ready fortours in the spring of 2020. Thelast time a sternwheeler was onBuckeye Lake was August of1973.

“Supporting this event isbringing back two traditions,”Braig said, “the flares have re-turned and the sternwheeler hasreturned. I guess it is true, historydoes repeat itself.”

For more information call theBuckeye Lake Museum at 740-929-1998. Visit them on Face-book for locations to purchaseflares or email atwww.buckeyelakehistory.org.

Recently, on the same day -two patients in my office askedme this question. Certainly, this isa question that more people needto be asking themselves. Overall Ithink the answer has several com-ponents, but is relatively simple:without your health, you cannotachieve your full potential regard-less of what category you consid-er your potential to be quantified.Let me explain.

Whatever state you live in,whoever you are, having yourhealth means that you the poten-tial to be the very best version ofyourself that you can be. I’m notimplying that people with anyform of disability cannot fulfilltheir potential, just that every-one’s potential is different. If youhave an incurable condition, youshould try to maintain the rest ofyour health as much as possible,in order to help you achieve yourultimate full potential. If you canimprove your health, you shouldtake the steps to do that, becauseit is one of the most importantthings in your life process. With-out your health, your access toeverything else in life will be hin-dered in one way or another. Un-fortunately for many individuals,any consideration of their healthon a daily basis is not part of theday until they lose their health.

Fulfilling your potential is notjust about what job you get andhow much you earn, but it is alsoabout making the most of yourlife. You only live once, so whyshould you not make the most ofit? Having your health can helpyou make the most of your familyand friends. It can help you toenjoy yourself and experience theworld. It can help you help othersand make a positive impact uponthe world. You don’t have to aimto change the world in a big way,you can change the world in lotsof small ways, that is just as im-portant. Without your health, youmake that so much harder. Soideally… I think we should be the

healthiest we can be, and then wecan live the best life we can abso-lutely live.

In a similar way if your healthfails, it can overshadow every-thing else that’s going on in yourlife. From relatively minor healthissues such as aches and pains,feeling fatigued, and indigestionto major health problems that canthreaten your existence, healthcan really affect happiness andstress levels. Making a commit-ment to taking on healthier habitseach year can have a far-reachingpayoff-you’ll feel better in virtu-ally everything that you do. I be-lieve this is particularly importantas it relates to stress. The stressthat comes from poor health issignificant because when you arefacing a health challenge, it af-fects so many areas of your life.Daily tasks become more chal-lenging, health expenses can pileup, and your ability to earn a liv-ing can even be in jeopardy.Stress itself can exacerbate healthissues from the common cold toserious conditions and diseases. Itreally pays to maintain healthystress management habits not onlyto build and manage the stress ofpoor health, but to help avoid italtogether by staying healthierlonger.

Now, there is the other aspectto this question that should beaddressed. You do not have tocare about your health. It appearsthat many people don’t! I see indi-viduals all the time who do notwatch their blood pressure, norkeep their diabetes under control,or any of the other maladies thatthey are experiencing. When youare younger, you can abuse yourbody and for the moment, getaway with it. However, it eventu-ally catches up with you. Yourhealth ends up being the one thingthat allows you to enjoy life lateron. All the money in the worlddoes not make up for poor health.Think of it as if it was a retirementplan. Invest when you are young

and it really pays off when you’reready to stop working and have agreater degree of freedom of time.But you can do whatever youwant. It is part of my job to helppeople pick up the pieces whohave been overall making poorchoices and not really paying at-tention about their health.

I believe ultimately to liveyour best life, in order to get outof life and take advantage of ev-erything that life has to offer, youneed to be healthy in both bodyand mind. We get only one shot atthis life, I think we should payattention more to this moment inour life. We need to be physically,mentally and emotionally happyand healthy. This is what weshould be working towards! ifyou’re feeling tired, drained andworn out, mentally, emotionallyand physically-it is going to havea negative impact on how you feeland what you can do.

I also personally believe thatyou should care about yourhealth, because how you care foryourself reflects upon you as anindividual. If someone sees thatyou clearly do not care about yourhealth, they are more than likelyto have negative perceptionsabout you-especially for not do-ing anything to change that. Fur-thermore, being healthy meansyou can support yourself betterand function more efficiently.You will feel more alive and beable to live life more fully. Mostindividuals do not want their chil-dren and other family members tosee them in a weak state, especial-ly because they neglected theirhealth. That itself is not sendinggood example. For some, this maybe enough of a reason that theyshould care about themselves inorder to have a ripple effect ofother people caring about them-selves as well.

Lastly, I think it is importantthat we do realize that disease andaccidents happen, due to no faultof our own. There are environ-

mental toxins and dangers aroundwithout a lot that we can do aboutit. You might live across from asteel mill or downstream from amining area.Environmentally/chemically froma stress standpoint, that makes itdifficult in many aspects of yourlife. However, if you remove fromyour life, the things which are notin your control, you may find thatthe vast majority of what happensto you during your lifetime in re-ality is within your control. Thereis a direct causal relationship be-tween how you take care of yourbody and your mind and whatkind of health problems one expe-riences.

Longevity is not just a geneticmatter. It is much more based onyour exposure to heavy metals,poor diet, lack of exercise, hydra-tion, toxic medications over a pe-riod of time in substances likecaffeine, tobacco, alcohol, drugs,artificial flavors and food color-ings, as well as preservatives andother food additives. Whether youlive out your final years in a nurs-ing home, debilitated and dement-ed, or living to be 100 and can stillclimb the stairs and drive a car,more often than not, it is the

choices you made in the pastwhich now determine your pres-ent health. While this may notseem to be a politically correctmessage for a lot of people intoday’s society, it is the truth anda message we need disseminatedfar and wide. If not, I am con-cerned based on the society oftoday that many will drown in asea of debt and despair becausetoo many decide to throw cautionto the wind and let someone elsehandle the consequences of theirhealth. Should you care aboutyour health-that is always yourchoice!

Sugar Snap Peas are a GreatSweet Treat and Easy to Grow

Sugar snap peas are a crossbetween a regular garden pea and asnow pea. Snow peas are the flatpods frequently used in stir fryrecipes. Sugar snap peas are a coolseason crop that is frost hardy andhigh in vitamin C.

To grow sugar snap peas, sowseeds to the depth of 1 - 1 1/2 inchesdeep and 1 inch apart. Rows shouldbe planted 18 - 24 inches apart. Theycan be planted in the early spring,or late summer for a fall harvest.The plants will need at least 6 hoursof sunlight per day, but will tolerate

partial shade. Support should beprovided as they will climb usingtendrils that will wrap around string,twine trellis netting, wire mesh, orfencing. They can reach lengths of6 - 8 feet long.

The peas are ready to harvest inapproximately 60 days. Once theybegin to produce, regularharvesting, every other day, isrecommended to prevent a moremature pea that loses it flavor andcrispness. Snap peas are usuallyeaten fresh, stored in therefrigerator, or frozen.

Companion vegetables that growin harmony near sugar snap peasinclude: radishes, spinach, lettuce,cucumbers and potatoes. Severalresources suggest keeping themaway from garlic and onions.

If your taste buds are tinglingand you are dreaming of a snack ofsugar snap peas and you didn't plantany this spring, don't worry, youwill have another opportunity toplant for a fall garden harvest.

Peonies Post Bloom CarePeonies in the area have finished

blooming. Now, you can clean upthe dead blooms (deadhead) andhave pretty nice looking foliage

plants in the perennial bed the restof the season. Remove the deadblooms by going down into theplant, going below the top layer offoliage.

Peonies are susceptible topowdery mildew and a few otherleaf spots. Good sanitation is a mustto help reduce the potential forfurther infection next season. Othercultural practices such as providingfull sun and good air circulation helpas well.

Peonies don't require a lot ofcare. However, as they get older, it'sa good idea to fertilize after theybloom. In addition, the AmericanPeony Society is a very helpfulsource. Did you know that duringthe weekend of June 7, 8 and 9 aPeony Festival was held in VanWert, Ohio? At the turn of thecentury, Van Wert was known as thePeony Capitol of the world. The firstSunday in June was consideredPeony Sunday and now they have ayearly Peony Festival.

Quality Collision Repairs Since 1979

Ninety years ago, Paramountreleased "The Virginian" starringGary Cooper. The 1929 western,Cooper's first talkie film, wasbased on the 1902 novel by OwenWister.

"I read the book in high school,so was well aware of the story,"said James Drury from his homein Houston. But young Jim neverimagined he would portray the roleof the unnamed cattle ranchcowboy himself, decades later ina long-running western TV seriesin the 1960s.

Originally airing on NBC from1962 to 1971, and currentlyrerunning on several cablenetworks, the enduring popularityof the "The Virginian" doesn'tsurprise 85-year-old Drury (seewww.thevirginian.net). "It stillholds up," he said. "The oldwesterns were morality plays thatshowed the triumph of good overevil and I think that's important foryoung people to see on screenthese days because it will inspirethem to live their lives that way."

An astonishing parade ofnotable guest stars on mostepisodes also contributed to theshow's success.

"Episodes were 90-minutes, thewriting brilliantly told appealingstories, and big movie stars wouldwalk over broken glass to appearon the show," explained Drury."We had people like George C.Scott, Yvonne De Carlo, VeraMiles, Bette Davis, and JoanCrawford."

As foreman of the show'sShiloh Ranch set in MedicineBow, Wy., Drury's characteranswered to the ranch's owner,played by several actorsthroughout the series.

"Lee J. Cobb was the first, andleft during the fourth season," saidDrury. "I enjoyed working withhim - he brought all those years asa Hollywood star to the role, buthe hated the show. He was makinga ton of money from the series,then just quit. He did an interviewsaying he thought the show wasterrible and wished he could buyup all the film and turn it into banjopicks!"

Cobb was replaced by veteransupporting film actor CharlesBickford.

"We had John Dehner for ashort time then Charles came alongand he did just a wonderful job,"recalled Drury. "He loved theshow and told me he wished hehad been on from the beginning.But he died unexpectedly (during

season 6). We finished the showon a Friday night about midnightand it was a bitterly cold evening.He wasn't well and everybodywanted him to go home but heinsisted on finishing his part andstaying around. It turned intopneumonia and he died Sundaymorning."

Well-admired character actorJohn McIntire was hired tocomplete the sixth season.

"After Charles passed on, wegot John McIntire and JeanetteNolan to run the ranch, who wereactually husband and wife andoften worked together. They didvery well and John was perfect inevery scene I ever saw him do."

The final (9th) season sawmajor overhauls including a newname and theme, and StewartGranger was brought in.

"He was a disaster and Icouldn't stand him," admittedDrury. "He wanted everythingchanged to make him the star ofthe show. But guess what – thename of the show is 'TheVirginian'! He also fired the wholecamera crew and hired a new crewfor his episodes."

And then there was DougMcClure, playing fellow ranchhand Trampas. A villain in theoriginal book and 1929 movie, thewriters transformed him into ahigh-spirited and often comediccharacter in the series. "Off-screenDoug was quite like his characterand you couldn't help but smilewhen he walked into a roombecause he was full of good humorand good spirits all the time,"recalled Drury. "He could cheeranybody up. He became my bestfriend and I still miss him terribly- you couldn't ask for a betterco-star."

A familiar and popular guestfor years on the westernconvention and autograph circuit,Drury has been cutting back ontravel. "My wife is not well andI'm her personal caregiver, so I'minvolved in looking after her."

He appreciates the well-wishesfrom fans and especially enjoyshearing their memories of "TheVirginian."

"People now tell me about theirgrandkids who discover the showon cable and start watching it," hesays. "It's a wonderful feeling toknow the show is still viable afterall these years."

Tinseltown Talks by Nick Thomas

James Drury remembers'The Virginian' co-stars

By DeAnne Beyer

If you’ve been a resident of Ohiofor a number of years, you probablyknow Ohio’s state tree, and mostlikely Ohio’s state bird. However,there are many other symbols thatOhio’s lawmakers have identified torepresent our state that you may notbe familiar with.

The Seal Of Ohio(adopted in the early 1800’s)

The seal illustrates Ohio’sdiverse geography. The hills in thebackground represent Mount Loganin Ross County. The blue stream atthe left depicts the Scioto River. Awheat bushel standing in the freshlyharvested wheat field illustratesOhio’s important contributions toagriculture. Seventeen arrows nextto the bushel of wheat representOhio’s place as the 17th state in theUnion. The sun has 13 raysrepresenting the original 13 colonies.

The scene for the seal wasthought to be based on the easternview from Thomas Worthington’shome, Adena, located near modern-day Chillicothe. Worthington wasOhio’s first United States senatorand also served as Ohio’s sixthgovernor.

The Flag of Ohio(adopted in 1902)

The swallow-tailed design ofOhio’s official flag was drawn byJohn Eisenmann, architect anddesigner for the Ohio State Pan-American Exposition Commission.Ohio is the only state to have aswallow-tail design, known as aburgee, as its state flag. Accordingto the creator of the flag, Mr.Eisenmann: “The triangles formedby the main lines of the flagrepresent the hills and valleys astypified in the State Seal, and thestripes the roads and waterways.The stars, indicating the 13 originalstates of the Union, are groupedabout the circle, which representsthe Northwest Territory; and thatOhio was the seventeenth stateadmitted into the Union is shown byadding four more stars. The whitecircle with its red center, not onlyrepresents the initial letter of Ohio,but is suggestive of its being theBuckeye State.”

State Flower: Red Carnation(adopted in 1904)

The red carnation was chosen bythe state Legislature to honorPresident William McKinley, anOhioan, who was assassinated in1901. McKinley was fond ofwearing red carnations on the lapelof his jacket.

State Bird: Cardinal(adopted in 1933)

In the late 1600s, whenEuropeans first arrived in Ohio, thestate was mostly forested andcardinals were rare. As forests werecleared, the land became moresuitable for cardinals and by the late1800s, cardinals could be foundacross the entire state.
