LITTLE JOHNNY LITTLE JOHNNY LITTLE JOHNNY LITTLE JOHNNY LITTLE JOHNNY A teacher said to her class, "Right, I'm going to hold something under the desk and i want you to guess it. This one is round and red." Little Johnny's hand shot up, but he was ignored. "It's a plum miss," said a girl. "no it's an apple, but I like your thinking. The next one is oval-shaped and green." The teacher ignored Little Johnny again and a boy said, "It's a kiwi miss." No, it's a guava, but I like your thinking." Little Johnny said, " I got one miss, its stiff, about an inch long, and with a red nib." "Johny, that's disgusting!" shouted the teacher. " no it's a match, but I like your thinking." Said Little Johnny. Technically, it’s called the Appalachian dialect, very much like the Gullah dialect down along the coast. I call it Mountain Speak. At one time, it was prevalent throughout the Appalachian region.  A burlap bag was a “toe sack” and a paper bag was a “poke.”  You could plow with a horse or a mule using three simple words: “gee” (turn right), “haw” (turn left) and “whoa” (stop).  You would “grabble” the first new potatoes of the year. A chimney was a “chimbly.” A “granny-woman” was a midwife/herb doctor. Enough of anything edible for a meal was a “mess.” READ MORE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PEEING ON MY FLOWERS A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in awhile a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk. Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag." "Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me, Officer." "Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. " Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal it, did you?" "Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to a Golf course. A lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, 'why not make the best of it?' So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, 'O.K., buddy! Give me $20 or off it comes!' "Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing ."OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?" "Not everybody pays."

Mr Chiots and I always kick off our holiday season by going to Christmas in Zoar. We usually plan ahead and go with friends, but this year time got away from us and we didn’t realize it was happening until Sunday around noon. We put the coffee we were drinking into to-go mugs, jumped in the car and headed down for an afternoon of holiday fun. It’s a great way to get into the spirit because all the houses are decorated beautifully for Christmas outside and in. Each year there are a few houses on tour, we’ve been going for so long we’ve toured almost every home. It’s truly a fantastic way to get into the Christmas spirit. Of course I always notice the gardens as well as we walk around! chiotsrun.com/2011/12/06/christmas-in-zoar-2012/

The historic Village of Zoar, home to nearly 200 residents, is protected from flooding by a levee built in the 1930s. Record floods in 2005, however, raised concern about the levee’s integrity.

Zoar Village a great place to visit  A QUALITY TIME POST An easy drive from Lancaster,Ohio Zoar Village is located 2.5 miles east of I-77 at State Route 212, between Canton and New Philadelphia. Zoar was founded by German religious dissenters called the Society of Separatists of Zoar in 1817. It was a communal society, with many German-style structures that have been restored and are part of the Zoar Village State Memorial. There are presently ten restored buildings. According to the Ohio Historical Society, Zoar is an island of Old-World charm in east-central Ohio. READ MORE Toooo… much to see for just one post. For today we will visit the Town Hall which was one of the last buildings constructed by the “Society”. The Town Hall now serves as two museums—The Ohio & Erie Canal Museum and The Museum of Zoarite Artifacts. The Zoar band used to give concerts from the second floor balcony. Now, for a look inside. The “Society” barber shop was once housed in this building as was the jail. At one time this building housed the fire department and the post office.. Several separatists traveled to Ohio in the fall of 1817 to establish the settlement, while the remaining immigrants following in the spring of 1818. During this time, the settlement was named Zoar, after the biblical town that Lot fled to after leaving Sodom. Women were equal participants in the Society, with a vote and the ability to hold office (although no woman ever held an office). In reality this meant the women worked in the fields as much as the men. In 1821 the State of Ohio purchased a right-of-way through the Zoarite land, and, a few years later, paid the Zoarites $21,000 to dig the canal. This stroke of fortune allowed the Zoarites to not only repay their loans, but also establish a local industry capable of providing agricultural and industrial goods for the world outside the Society. “The Society of Separatists of Zoar, Ohio, was one of the more successful of the many cooperative communities which appeared in this country during the last century. Zoar was founded by German peasants and artisans who emigrated from Wurtemburg in 1817 to escape the civil and ecclesiastical persecution to which they had been subjected as members of the Separatist faith. The Separatists were dissentients from the German Lutheran Church, pietists and mystics, whose uncompromising pacifism and abhorrence of ritual, formalism and the regular clergy had made them unwelcome in their own land.” THE ZOAR SOCIETY by Edgar B. Nixon        Thanks for stopping by I hope you enjoyed your visit.. Now, there are only nine more buildings to show you.
