From the Editor-news and notes

In October I am joined by several friends, here and online who are, like me, a professional genealogist. This month we are celebrating
National Family History Month. The process has changed over the years for looking for our long lost ancestors from using pen and
paper to online researching the thousands of records we seek. While there are still many unavailable online we hit the roads to travel

to the places our ancestors once lived.
My favorite place to start someone new into researching is Cindislist.org, Ancestory.com, Familysearch.com. Getting a DNA test has For details see: http://www.ocontocounty.org/
become quite popular in the last couple of years. I DO recommend getting it done early into researching. It not only will tell you
where your ancestors were from but where you can also connect with first-second cousins and hundreds of distant cousins. -
If you would like some help getting started or have a brickwall you need help with, please call or email me.

Whiskey Jack’s Deer Camp Musical Comedy October 6 in
Townsend
The Holt & Balcom Logging Camp Museum proudly pre-
sents Whiskey Jack’s Deer Camp, a knee-slapping musical
comedy to be staged Saturday, October 6, 2018, at the
Townsend Town Hall. There’s a matinee at 2:00 and even-
ing performance at 7:00. Admission is $8; doors open one
hour before show time.
Written and directed by Kathleen
Marsh, Whiskey Jack’s Deer Camp
is set in November 1918. Cate
(Kathleen Marsh) and Jack (Jon
Marsh), former proprietors of the
Red Light Saloon, have moved to a
cabin in the woods where Jack is
hosting friends at his annual deer
hunting camp. The United States is
at war with Germany, and millions
of American soldiers are serving
overseas, including Cate and Jack’s nephew Chance
(Cameron O’Connor), who is missing deer camp for the
first time since he was ten.
Joining Jack’s hunting party are his brother Deacon (Al
Benson) and saloon buddies Spike (Don Franzen), Irish
(Pat Lowery), Leander (Lee Gerndt), and Ivo (Scott Wych-

Flu season is almost here!
Flu season means that we all have to be extra aware of how we
interact with the outside world.
Even if you've had a flu shot, you may still be susceptible to cer-
tain strains of the virus.
Though you may not come down with the flu, you can still carry
the germs from one place to the next--don't help the disease
spread!
Restrooms
Flu season or not, public restrooms are breeding grounds for all
kinds of germs. If paper seat covers are provided, use them. Pro-
tect your fingers with a tissue before flushing. Wash your hands
every time, and if you use the air dryer, hit the button with your
arm, not your bare hand.
Doorknobs
How many hands have touched that door? You can be sure that
very few of them had been sanitized first. If you can push a door
open without touching the knob, do so.
If you must touch it, wrap your hand in a cloth or tissue first.
Public transportation
Buses, trains, airplanes, taxicabs...you don't know who had that
seat before you. The lady sniffling and coughing in the next seat
may just have allergies, or she might be sharing a virus with eve- There's no way to guarantee that you'll never catch something
ryone else.
Some people wear face masks when they go out in public--it's
Volume 1, Issue 1
not a bad idea when you have to share the same air space with so
many strangers.
Waiting rooms
Here's another situation where you're stuck in close quarters with
strangers. Especially if you're visiting the hospital, or even your
private practitioner, you should be aware of the possibility that
someone in the room, at some time that day, has been spreading
the flu virus. Choose a seat well away from everyone else, if you
can, and bring your own reading material.
Trash
Of course you don't make a habit of digging around in trash cans.
But sometimes you accidentally drop something in there, or may-
be it's just your turn to empty the bin.
Before you start fishing around in there, consider what might be
lurking on all those used tissues. Wash your hands immediately
after touching anything in the trash.
Phones
According to recent studies, your cell phone carries more germs
than a toilet seat. It's in your hands all the time, and you probably
don't wash before and after each use. During flu season (and
maybe even throughout the rest of the year), be careful about
where you set your phone and who you allow to hold it.
If you have to use a public telephone, wipe it down with a sani-
tizing cloth before putting it anywhere near your face.
from someone. But with a little extra care, you can combat the
worst viruses and help keep yourself and others healthy.
Page 17 The Timber News Volume 1, Issue 1
We see it on TV almost everyday. Fires, heavy rains,
flash flooding, hurricanes and other disasters. We
can’t predict some of these things that happen. But
sometimes we have the opportunity to pack the essen-
tials and leave the safety of our home because it is in
the path of one of these disasters. But, what about our
pets? Do you have a disaster plan for them.
www.ready.gov has many tips for pet evacuation kits.
Some of them are simple : food and water. Others are
things to think about. Vet records, Vet phone number,
edications your pet takes. A carrier, toy, blanket are
other things to consider. A current picture. Why? You
may have to be separated from your pet at a shelter for
some time. The picture identifies them. Include your-
self in that picture holding your pet or kneeling by
them. A leash, extra collar with ID on it. Pooper
scooper, plastic bags, cat litter are other things to con-
sider. A complete list is on the site. Type in the key-
words, “ pet toolkit” in the search area. Better to be
prepared ahead of time.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam
Nutrition Advice for a Healthy New You
There is no better way to rejuvenate your health than by eating more nutritiously. In fact, even a few simple
changes in your diet and lifestyle can have a positive impact on your health-and can also prevent a variety of
health problems in the future.
Lifestyle Changes
 Exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes three or four days a week.
 Eat out more sparingly. Food preparation methods in restaurants often involve high amounts-and the
wrong types-of fat and sugar.
Brown-bag your lunch to control your fat and sugar content while adding nutritious fruits, vegetables, and
grains.
Dietary Changes
 Eat more raw foods. Cooking and canning destroys much of the nutrition in foods. With the exception of
canned tomatoes, which can help prevent prostate cancer, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables always have
more natural vitamins and minerals.
 Select organically grown foods when possible,
because they have lower amounts of toxic ele-
ments, such as pesticides and heavy metals.
 Consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day.
Whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, nuts, and
some fruits and vegetables are good sources of
fiber. High-fiber diets can help prevent digestive
disorders, heart disease, and colon cancer.
 Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a
day. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and alcohol are dehy-
drators. Don't substitute them for water.
Supplements According to the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration, dietary supplements are not
substitutes for foods, nor can a person sustain
good health by just taking vitamin and mineral
supplements. When taken properly, however,
supplements can play an important role in achiev-
ing maximum health
