After moving to Ten- nessee, he flew the flag each morn- ing from the third-floor window of his home during rain or shine. The flag was large, 17 feet by 10 feet.

His defiant flying of the flag at the beginning of the conflict had become national news. During the Civil War citizens became passionate about their flags. After the surrender of Fort Sumpter, its garrison flag toured the country for the duration of the war. The poet Walt Whitman shared his love for the flag in a letter to his mother. He wrote, “I have a little flag (it be- longed to one of our cav- alry regiment) presented to me by one of the wounded. It was taken by the [Confederates] in a cavalry fight & rescued by our men in a bloody little skirmish. It cost three men’s lives, just to get one little flag, four by three. Our men rescued it & tore it from the breast of a dead rebel. All that just for…getting their little banner back again.” Walt Whitman’s love for the American flag can be seen in many of his poems. Old Glory remained hidden inside Captain Driver’s quilt until February 1862 when members of the Union Army’s Sixth Ohio Regi- ment entered Nashville and captured the city from the Confederates. One of the first things the Union troops did was raise a small American flag over the capitol building in Nash- ville. Union sympathizers in Nash- ville remembered Captain Driver’s flag and asked that it be flown over the capitol building in place of the smaller flag being flown. Captain Driver, now 58 years old, contacted the Union Com- mander, General William “Bill” Nelson, stating triumphantly and with tears in his eyes, “This is the flag I hope to see hoisted on that flagstaff in place of that dammed Confederate flag set there by that damned rebel governor, Isham G. Harris. I have had hard work to save it; my house searched for it more than once.” When asked why he called his flag Old Glory, he stated, “Sav- ages and heathens, lowly and op- pressed, hailed and welcomed it at the far ends of the wide world. Then why should it not be called Old Glory?” Captain Driver, a true and loyal American, died on March 3, 1886 and is buried in Nashville, Tennessee. The monument over his grave site, which he designed himself, is that of a broken tree trunk with an anchor attached. The inscription reads, His Ship, His Country, and his Flag. Old Glory.” Today used as a colloquial- ism referring to all American flags, Old Glory was once the name given to a sailor’s beloved ensign. Old Glory is on display in the Ten- nessee State Museum. The Na- tional Museum of American His- tory has deemed Old Glory a his- toric flag artifact second in impor- tance only to the American flag flown over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 and immortal- ized by Francis Scott Key in his poem, The Star-Spangled Banner.

Old Glory
This is Part 8 of the series ofarticles about the history, proper dis-play, handling, and disposing of theAmerican flag. Last month welearned about the Gadsden flag andits purpose in history. This month Iwill talk about the history of the name“Old Glory.”
While many of us have heardour flag called “Old Glory” few ofus know how that nickname cameto be. It was August 1831 when ayoung seaman from Salem, Massa-chusetts was given command of hisown ship the “Charles Doggett.”The seaman’s name was William
Driver and he had just turned 21years old. In honor of his birthdayand his recent promotion to Cap-
tain, his mother and a few friendspresented him with a hand sownAmerican flag to be flown on hisship.
The flag having 24 stars wasflown from the ship’s mast. Whenit was unfurled Captain Driver is re-ported to have said, “my ship, my
country, and my flag.” Hethen began calling his flag“Old Glory.” CaptainDriver sailed the sevenseas for over twenty years.He sailed to China, India,Gibraltar and throughoutthe South Pacific. On hisfirst voyage he carried sur-vivors from the HMSBounty from Tahiti toPitcairn Island, all under hisprecious American flag.
After the death ofhis wife, Captain Drivergave up the sea and movedhis family to Nashville,Tennessee in order to be
near his three brothers who owneda store there. After moving to Ten-nessee, he flew the flag each morn-ing from the third-floor window ofhis home during rain or shine. Theflag was large, 17 feet by 10 feet.Being so large, the flag became wellknown throughout the city of Nash-ville.

The Retina And MacularDegeneration
The retina is a magnificent tis-sue in our eyes that literally convertsthe incoming light rays into neuronalsignals that are then sent to the brain.Our brains then take this informa-tion to create the vibrant and color-ful vision that we experience everyday. Just like the rest of our body,the retina can also have problems –many of which become more preva-lent as we age. Conditions such asage-related macular degeneration,diabetic retinopathy, retinal detach-
By Rick Nordgren, M.D. ment, macular pucker and macularhole are examples of problems thatcan significantly impact our vision.Of these, age-related macular degen-eration is the leading cause of blind-ness in the United States in individu-als over age 50.
Age-related macular degen-eration (AMD) affects a high per-centage of aging adults, and in somecases can cause severe vision losswhere individuals may lose the abil-ity to read, drive, enjoy TV, and evenrecognize the faces of loved ones.AMD is separated into 2 major cat-
egories: dry and wet. The dry formpresents first, progresses slowly andmay remain dry for the rest of theperson’s life. It can cause gradual,severe central vision loss in somepatients over time due to what iscalled geographic atrophy (death ofcritical cells in the central retina).Others may never lose much vision.A supplement formula calledAREDS2 has been shown to de-crease the progression towards thisform and the other advanced formof AMD when taken by patients withearlier stages of the disease. We lookforward to future therapeutic ad-vancements that may further de-crease the risk of disease progres-sion.
Approximately 10-15% of in-dividuals with AMD will develop the
wet form – this can cause severeand often rapid central vision loss.It is called wet because one of itsmain components is fluid and/orblood leaking into or underneath theretina from abnormally growingblood vessels. Prior to the year2000, the only available treatmentfor wet AMD was thermal laser (toburn the abnormal blood vessels).It was utilized as the only option indifficult cases to try to minimize orslow vision loss; however, the out-comes were suboptimal. Photody-namic therapy (i.e. cold laser) wasavailable in the year 2000 with bet-ter results than thermal laser, never-theless, progressive vision loss wasstill the norm. Thankfully, every-thing changed in 2004 when inject-able medicines first became avail-able. Since that time, we have hadaccess to multiple different medicinesthat we inject directly into the eye totreat this devastating condition. Thistreatment has completely revolution-ized the management of wet AMDworldwide. Some people can gainsome of their vision back. Manyare able to maintain stable vision formany years. All in all – fewer people
are going blind from wet AMD.However, the injections do not curethe problem, they control it. Justlike many medicines we take for dif-ferent health problems, the effect ofthe injected medicine wears off, andthe injection needs to be repeated.Fortunately, there is abundant activeresearch to develop new medicinesand devices that may help us main-tain or improve outcomes along withdecreasing the frequency of treat-ments. Some of these may be avail-able soon. It’s an exciting time to bea retina specialist and I feel privi-leged to practice medicine in this eraof therapeutic advancements.
Dr. Rick Nordgren is a boardcertified and fellowship trained reti-nal surgeon that is highly experiencedand specializes in the latest treatmentsfor Macular Degeneration.

What Are The Most Common Types Of Skin Cancer And How Serious Are They?
At least one in five Americanswill develop skin cancer by the ageof 70. It is important to understandthe different types and the risks theycarry. Skin cancer is typically dividedinto 2 groups: 1). Melanoma (whichis the most serious and potentiallydeadly skin cancer) and 2). Non-melanoma skin cancer. I will focustoday on the more common non-

Dr Steven Peine
melanoma skin cancer types.The two most common types
of non-melanoma skin cancer arebasal cell carcinoma (BCC) andsquamous cell carcinoma (SCC).BCC is the most common skin can-cer with an estimated 4.3 millioncases diagnosed in the U.S. eachyear. SCC is the second most com-mon skin cancer with more than 1million cases diagnosed in the U.S.each year.
BCC develops in the basal celllayer of the epidermis. It can occuranywhere on the body but is mostcommon on sun-exposed skin. ABCC can appear as a sore that bleedseasily and won’t heal. It is usually apearly white, skin-colored or pinkbump that is translucent. I often tellpatients that BCC is the “best” skincancer to have because it growsslowly, it doesn’t spread to the lymphnodes or spread throughout the body.
If caught early, it is easily cured; how-ever, if not treated, BCC can be verydestructive and can erode into carti-lage, muscle and bone.
SCC can develop from anypart of the skin structure. It can alsooccur anywhere on the body but ismost common on sun-exposed skin.A SCC typically appears as a red,thick, rough, scaly growth that maybleed. Sometimes it has a thick crustor warty surface. If caught early, itis also easily cured; however, un-treated SCC of the skin can destroynearby healthy tissue, spread to the
lymph nodes or other organs, andmay in rare cases be fatal. (fatalityrate is ~1% for SCC)
If you have one of these skincancers or are concerned about alesion possibly being skin cancer,please get treated as soon as pos-sible. In my next article, I will dis-cuss melanoma skin cancer in de-tail.

years. Our community is veryimportant to us; therefore, wehave created the Serenity Pay-It-Forward account.
The Serenity Pay-It-For-ward account is designed to helpfamilies in need – particularly forthose in our community who havelost a child due to accident, illness,or other tragedy. Losing a child isarguably one of the most difficulttrials a family can endure. We donot charge professional servicefees when taking care of a babyor a child. However, there arealways outside costs, includingobituaries, flowers, caskets, cem-etery property, headstones, etc.These outside costs add up fast,and, in addition to dealing withtheir grief, families also deal withthe financial hardship of the trag-edy. We’d like to help those fami-lies.
Community members that arefinancially able have the opportunityto participate in our Pay-It-Forwardaccount in two ways – through theSerenity round-up, or through a pri-vate donation. Families that are fi-nancially able have the option of
rounding their funeral bill to the near-est $10, $20, or any amount theychoose. This additional amount isplaced in our Pay-It-Forward ac-count to be utilized by an eligiblefamily at a later date. Every dona-tion matters regardless of size. Will-ing and able community membersmay also donate to the account atany time. Serenity Funeral Homewill match every donation up to$100. When an eligible family inneed comes our way, we will beable to donate these funds to helpminimize their expenses.
It is said that the hardest partof losing a child is living everydayafterwards. Our Serenity Pay-It-
Forward account is designed to helpas many grieving mothers and fa-thers as possible. In the words ofCharles Dickens, “No one is use-less in this world who lightens theburdens of another.”
To make a donation to theSerenity Pay-It-Forward account,
please stop by our office. SerenityFuneral Home is located just off Riv-erside Drive at 1316 S. 400 E., St.George, UT, (435) 986-2085, or visitus on-line at www.SerenityStG.com.

Understanding Your Social Security
Social Security and Medi-care are both programs that arehousehold names, but do youknow the true difference? Bothprograms help safeguard mil-lions of Americans as well asimprove the quality of life fortheir family and friends. WhileSocial Security offers retire-ment, disability, and survivorsbenefits, Medicare provideshealth insurance.
Medicare is our country’shealth insurance program forpeople age 65 or older andyounger people receiving So-
Medicare, ASimpleExplanation
cial Security disability benefits.The program helps with thecost of health care, but itdoesn’t cover all medical ex-
penses or the costof most long-termcare.
When youfirst enroll in Medi-care and during cer-
tain times of the year, you canchoose how you get your Medi-care coverage. There are 2main ways to get Medicare:
Original MedicareOriginal Medicare in-
cludes Medicare Part A (Hos-pital Insurance) and Part B(Medical Insurance). If youwant drug coverage, you canjoin a separate Part D plan. Tohelp pay your out-of-pocketcosts in Original Medicare (likeyour deductible and 20% co-insurance), you can also shopfor and buy supplemental cov-erage. Examples include cov-

Medicare Advantage (alsoknown as Part C)
Medicare Advantage is an“all in one” alternative to Origi-nal Medicare. These “bundled”plans include Part A, Part B,and usually Part D. Part Cplans may have lower out-of-pocket costs than OriginalMedicare. They also may of-fer extra benefits that OriginalMedicare doesn’t cover — likevision, hearing, dental, andmore.
If you can’t afford to payyour Medicare premiums andother medical costs, you maybe able to get help from yourstate. States offer programs forpeople eligible for or entitledto Medicare who have low in-come. Some programs maypay for Medicare premiums
and some pay Medicaredeductibles and coinsurance.To qualify, you must have lim-ited income and resources.

In 1876 CharlieHarrison was one of the fast-est, best known, accurate gun-fighters in the west. His homebase was St. Louis, Missouribut his reputation was knownfor thousands of miles west ofthat town through the RockyMountains and into the south-west.
Charlie had an impetu-ous temperament, quick to ac-tion and the draw of his re-volver. And, his unquestionedcourage saw him through manyscrapes. Not only was hequick to draw his pistol, buthis rapid fire of the single-ac-tion revolver was something tobehold. He could shoot fasterand straighter at a target thanany man Bat Masterson en-countered as a lawman. “Hewould be the most formidablefoe any challenger could facein a pistol duel,” the famous
lawman said.In that year, Charlie
was headed to Deadwood,
South Dakota and had stoppedin Cheyenne when he became
involved in a personal difficultywith a gambler named JimLevy. Now Cheyenne, as with
many other frontier towns, hada ban on carrying guns intown, but the conflict betweenthe two men became so heatedthat they each headed for theirliving quarters to arm them-selves.
The odds around townwere 100 to 1 that Harrisonwould quickly and surely dis-patch Levy in the middle of thestreet. The betting in the sa-loons, gambling halls, boardinghouses, and on the boardwalkswas hot and heavy. Little wasknown about Jim Levy as agunfighter, much was knownabout Charlie Harrison.
It didn’t take long forthe two to meet on oppositesides of the main street. Bothwere heavily armed with Colt.45 sidearms. As they steppedonto the street, they both drewand began firing. Harrison, ofcourse, began firing first. Hewas shooting so fast his re-volver seemed to be spittingfire from its barrel. He hadfired six shots before Levy hadeven cleared his holster at hisbelt. But none of Harrison’sbullets found their target.
Levy held his pistol inboth hands stretching them infront of his face. He fired just
one shell. That was all thatwas necessary. Harrison fellbackward onto the street andseemed to die before he hit theground. He was laid to rest inthe local cemetery along withothers who had gone to rest ina similar way.
That Harrison was asgame a man as Levy could notbe doubted. Masterson noted:“That he could shoot faster wasobvious, but under extraordinaryconditions he had shown that helacked deliberation and lost hislife in consequence. The troublewith Charlie Harrison was justthis – he was too anxious. Hewanted to shoot too fast. Levytook his time. He lookedthrough the sights of his pistol,which is a very essential thingto do when shooting at an ad-versary who is returning yourfire.”
Bat Masterson took hisown advice. Through all hislawman career he survivedmany shootouts and lived to bean old man. (Source: BatMasterson, “Famous Gunfight-ers of the Western Frontier.”)

Ivins, Ut–For three nightsin October, world-class perform-ers will give Southwestern Utah aBroadway-caliber theater experi-ence at a fraction of the cost.7:30pm, $30/$10 for students withID
In the 21st century, opera’sbase of raving fans has grown, thanksin part to the Broadway hit musicalRent, which is based on La bohéme.But as far as which version of Labohéme to see, Sauer recommendsyou see the performances comingto Kayenta in October for two rea-sons: first, the performers. “We havea cast of world-class performers inour production whose vocal andstage talents are extraordinary.” Sec-ond, he says, “It’s the venue. I can’toverstate how the intimate black boxtheater heightens the experience.Audiences get to see the subtletiesand nuances of facial expressions,gestures…details you wouldn’t beable to see in a large theater. It’s likewatching a live movie.”
Are opera fans on to some-thing? Come to La bohéme and findout. Tickets are selling for a fractionof what the show costs to produceand, says Sauer, “You may just haveone of the best nights of your life.”
Plot: Puccini’s famous four-act Italian opera plays out the tragiclove affair between the poor poetRodolfo and an equally poor seam-stress, Mimi, in the Latin Quarter of19th century Paris. Along the way,their story becomes hilariously anddramatically intertwined with theirgroup of friends—neighbors, artis-tic roommates, lovers, etc. (Note:Subtitles will be provided on screen.)
Cast: Tenor David Sauer(Rodolfo) has drawn praise from theNew York Times, Opera News, SaltLake Tribune and others for his‘handsome voice’ and ‘striking per-formance and vocal refinement.’
Soprano Kathryn Grumley(Mimi) has been praised by SouthFlorida Classical Review for herability to “dominate the stage, own-ing every scene from the rise of thecurtain.”
Baritone Christopher Clayton(Marcello) is a rising talent on theoperatic stage. Among his recentroles are Friedrich Baer in Adamo’sLittle Women with Utah Opera, andConte di Luna in Il Trovatore withSt. Petersburg Opera.
Soprano Michelle Pedersen(Musetta) played Mimi in Labohème with the American WestSymphony and as Mother Marie inDialogues of the Carmelites withUtah Lyric Opera Ensemble.
Among bass Tyrell Wilde’s
(Colline) numerous awards areBYU Singer of the Year, first placein the Cal-West NATS RegionalCompetition and second place in theMetropolitan Opera National Councilauditions.
Baritone Gregory R. Watts(Benoit/Alcindoro) has sung withUtah Opera, Lyrical Opera Theater,The American West Symphony, theOrchestra of Southern Utah and theSacramento Messiah Society.
Baritone Stephen Pace(Schaunard) has performed the titlerole in Don Giovanni, CaptainCorcoran in H.M.S. Pinafore, Luizin The Gondoliers, Schlemil andCrespel in Les contes d’Hoffmannand Antonio in W.A. Mozart’s LeNozze di Figaro.
Director Robert Breault’s in-ternational career has taken himacross the U.S. and all over Europe.Currently the Director of Opera atthe University of Utah, he brings hisacclaimed staging of La bohéme thatwas last seen in Italy in 2017 toSouthern Utah for the first time.
Music Director RebeccaPacheco has been a featured pro-ducer, pianist and composer on mul-tiple albums that have reached #1 inthe Billboard Classical Crossovercategory.

July 4, 1942 while help-less wounded Partisans were
being shot in Siroka Luka, ci-vilians were being rounded upand sent to the UstasheJasenovac concentrationcamp, captured from the vil-lages surrounding Kozaramountain. Lepa and her fam-ily fought on and off all day,often wondering how her sis-
ter, Dara, and uncle Vlad weredoing. Several times the Ger-mans tried to get out of thearea they werepinned down in, butLepa’s brotherMilan always seemto have his eyes fo-cused on the right place at theright time. The units who hadbroken the siege, the previousnight, had retreated to hold
their original position. TheGermans had more thandoubled their manpower in the
area and during the night over-ran the Partisans position, kill-ing most of them before re-treating. The following day theGermans and the Ustashe hadgone, leaving about 1200 Par-tisan bodies on the hill and 500in the town of Siroka Luka.Losses on the hill were minor
compared to the thousands ofcivilians taken prisoner andthat would eventually die at thehands of the Ustashe. The Axispowers lost about 7,000 dur-ing the confrontation onKozara mountain. TheYugoslav Partisans and the ci-vilians who died in theJasenovac concentration camplost 25,000.

What’s For Dinner, Lunch Or SnackTime?By Bev Rankin, aka, TheBread Lady
This las t couple ofweeks I have been bom-barded with requests forsome quick and easy recipesthat could serve as dinner,lunch or even a snack. I sup-pose these requests are com-ing because school has startedand everyone wants to settleinto a routine that fits theirbusy lives. As I thought backwhen my children ranged inage from elementary to highschool and everything in be-tween, what were some ofthe stand by recipes I usedduring those sometime stress-ful years. It didn’t take melong to come up with severaland even now, my husbandand I still enjoy this simpleyet tasty dish. My grandchil-dren will often ask for myversion of this satisfying, fill-ing dish when they come tovisit. The wonderful thingabout this recipe is that theycan be made ahead of timeand either be refrigerated fora few days or wrapped forthe freezer. That is pure con-venience.
I know of very few fam-ily members that don’t likehamburgers , ho t dogs ,mashed potatoes and cheese.The trick is to put them alltogether in such a way thatthey are not only appetizingbut delicious. The recipe Iam talking about is a potatostuffed hot dog or hamburgerwith melted cheese on the
top. Okay, I know what youare thinking…potatoes are afattening, worthless starchwith empty calories. Not so!One medium potato (5.3 oz.)with the skin contains 45 per-
cent of the daily value forvitamin C. Potatoes havemore potassium than ba-nanas, spinach or broccoliand just 110 calories with nofat, sodium or cholesterol.Potatoes are a complex car-bohydrate which means theyare a great source for yourbody’s energy. There areeasy and healthy ways toprepare potatoes so they staynutritious. A baked potatocan be topped with salsa,steamed vegetables or low-fat sour cream of Greek yo-gurt. When mashed, use alow-fat chicken broth whichwill add flavor without manycalories. For those of us thatare single or empty nesters,the frozen version of this dishis a necessity for those timeswhen we are just too tired tocook, have grandchildrenvisit or just want a flavorpacked meal that will satisfyand be a cinch to warm up inthe microwave.
Stuffed Hot dogs orHamburgers
Boil as many hot dogsas you think you will need
Fry thin hamburger pat-ties in a non-stick skillet withvegetable spray until done
Boil potatoes in waterwith or without skins untilsoft. Drain off liquid. Withan electric mixer, beat pota-toes, adding chicken broth asneeded, until potatoes arefluffy and smooth. 1 boiledand mashed potato will filltwo dogs or hamburgers.
Cheese-I usually use al igh t or reduced ca lor iecheese for this recipe. 1/8cup per dog or hamburger
When hot dog has beenboiled, drain and cut in halflengthwise making sure not tocut completely through. Fillhot dog with approximately½ cup potatoes or more ifdes i red . Spr inkle wi thcheese. Place on a parch-ment lined baking sheet andbake at 375 degrees untilcheese is melted and hot dogand pota toes a re hea tedthrough. If you are usinghamburger, fry thin pattiesuntil done. Drain on papertowel. Top hamburger with½ cup potatoes, or more ifdes i red . Spr inkle wi thcheese. Place on a parch-ment lined baking sheet andbake at 375 degrees untilcheese is melted and ham-burger and pota toes a reheated through.
The nice thing aboutthis recipe is you can addmany different things to en-hance or change the flavors.I oftentimes add garlic salt orother spices to the mashedpotatoes. The hamburgerpa t t ies can have addedchopped mushroom or on-ions. Use your imaginationand come up with your veryown version of this dinner,lunch or snack time meal.

Two developments over thelast few years have made com-puters much more powerful andopened up a lot of possibilities forusers. They are the increase instorage space on Hard DiskDrives (HDD) and the advent ofSolid State Drives (SSD).
I remember seeing an earlyversion of a two megabyte harddrive that was about the size ofmy entertainment center. I remem-ber using a 20 megabyte hard drivewith my first Atari computer. Iwas amazed that they could store20 million bytes of information ina shoe box size device. The mostrecent purchase I made was an 8Terrabyte external hard drive thatI use for backing up all my sys-tems. To give you an idea ofscale, my new drive is 4,000,000times the capacity of that first Ataridrive.
Gone are the days of hav-ing to defragment drives everyweek just to make enough spaceto store your new documents.Also gone are the challenges pro-grammers faced to make theircode (programming instructions)compact enough to fit in the smallstorage devices available to mostcustomers.
Over the last few years, anew type of storage device hasbecome popular – the SSD orSolid State Drive. It is quite simi-lar to the flash drives you plug into
Don’t miss the opportunity to tour the oldesthome in Washington County. The Bishop
Covington Mansion, 200 N. 200 East,Washington, Utah was built in 1859 and canbe toured on Tuesdays from 11 am. to 3 pm.
Karen Hannig Leslie; and Irene PrisbreySlack will welcome you.
Both were born in Washington.
Two DriveSystems – HDD& SSD
your USB port to copy or trans-fer files. It is just faster and morepowerful. When they first cameout, SSDs were usually 60Gigabytes or 120 GB in size andwere somewhat unreliable. Bet-
ter technology has made themfaster to load and unload data,more reliable, less expensive and,perhaps most important, cheaper.
Those first SSDs were in the $200range. Now you can get 240 GBdrives for around $50, 500 forabout $90 and 1 TB SSDs foraround $120, depending on brand,speed and reliability.
Solid state drives retrievedata 3-5 times as fast as tradi-tional hard drives, have no mov-ing parts that wear out, takemuch less power to operate anddevelop less heat as they runmaking them especially nice forlaptops. They are becomingmore and more popular fordesktop and all-in-one comput-ers as well now that the prices,though still higher than the samesize HDD, are much more af-fordable.
One of the most noticeabledifferences between the two iswhen you start your computer.A standard HDD system willusually take about 2 minutes to
boot up if the computer is rea-sonably powerful and workingcorrectly. The same system us-ing a SSD will typically boot upin less than 30 seconds. Mostfiles and programs are loadedwith similar increases in speed,but are not as noticeable. A pro-gram that loads in .4 secondsinstead of 1 second probablywon’t amaze you, but the im-provement is there.
The common thing thatmany new computer buyers arefinding is that, if you buy a twodrive system, a SSD to put yourOperating System (such as Win-dows 10) and critical or largeprograms on, then store yourdata and little used programs on
the HDD (which has more roomand costs less per Gigabyte) thecomputer will work faster andmore efficiently. Our next articlewill deal with how to set up thenew configuration to work opti-mally. It will make your computerexperience better, so remember tomake sure you have at least onebackup (preferably two) of any-thing important to you – especiallywhen changing your OS or buy-ing a new computer.

In today’s world, DNAtesting plays an essential part inresearching our family trees.Forty years ago, DNA was vir-tually unknown. What wouldour parents or grandparentsthink about the DNA phenom-enon? What we know and howwe use DNA today is nothinglike what the future holds forgenetic research.
MIT Technology Reviewestimated that “By the start of2019, more than 26 million con-sumers had added their DNAto four leading commercial an-cestry and health databases.”The Review states that as thesedatabases grow, you will be ableto trace the relationships be-tween most Americans, eventhose have not taken a test. TheMIT Technology Review alsopredicted that “If the pace con-tinues, the gene troves couldhold data on the geneticmakeup of more than 100 mil-lion people within 24 months.”
The Family Tree Guideto DNA Testing and Genetic Ge-nealogy by Blaine T. Bettingerhas an excellent chapter on“The Future of Genetic Gene-alogy.” The most significant ad-vancements are going to be seenin autosomal DNA testing as theresult of the predicted large sizeof their databases as the Reviewreferenced. In this chapter,Betiinger lists three interestingpredictions that seem like sci-ence fiction, and they are:
· Genetic Reconstruc-
tion: Piecing Together Ge-nomes of the Dead. Becauseof the testing of the manydescendant’s DNA samples andfamily trees, they are going tobe able to recreate the genomesof thousands of early ancestors.Through this reconstruction, wewill be able to get a good ideaof how this ancestor looked thatincludes eye color, hair color,height, skin color, etc.
· Generating FamilyTrees. Once you have recreatedthe genomes of your early an-cestors and the genomes arecollected into one massive fam-ily tree, you will be able to rec-reate portions of your familytree through the results of aDNA test. Bettinger states,“Family tree reconstruction islikely to have an enormous im-pact on genealogical research inthe next few decades, provid-ing valuable ancestral informa-tion to users (especiallyadoptees).”
· Creating DNA-onlyancestors. Bettinger predictsthat “in the very near future,DNA from genetic cousins willbe used to recreate the genomesof unknown ancestors who re-side completely behind brickwalls.”
If Bettinger’s predictionscome to fruition, they will revo-lutionize the genealogy world inhow we complete our familytrees. These predictions yearsago would have made a greatscience fiction movie
