63. Rosannadanna Of The Amish
Futuristic humorous writing featuring an amish lawyer and her tales.

Rosannadanna of the Amish
A True Saga by Ross Bender
umi ga kikoeru
This is the true saga of an Amish/Mennonite lawyer in Manhattan in the year 174 AR After the Rapture. At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, 1999 AD, the night on which Elvis was universally expected to return to this earth, all the people huddled around their TV sets in every part of the globe instantly and mysteriously vanished.
Since over 99% of the world's population had disappeared, the Amish were free to expand their families and their farms as far as they liked, and had sought out new territories to colonize.
Yoney Hochstetler, a Pennsylvania Amish bishop with an attitude who had wryly coined the term "After the Rapture" and devised a new calendar, led a group of Amish settlers to the site of the former New York City, where they discovered to their surprise that some of the best farming land on earth was to be found in the Bronx.
Hochstetler returned to Lancaster County, which was in the throes of a crisis engendered by the overproduction of dung by the expanded farm animal and Amish population explosions. He eventually convinced almost all of the North American Amish to join the new colony in New York. While most members of the community welcomed the chance to migrate as a breath of fresh air, a few of the more recalcitrant and retentive brethren stayed behind. Vowing that all that good hot dung should not chust go to waste, they promised to join the colony in New York when they had perfected a means to harness its power as more than chust fertilizer.

New for Amish~Maid. Amish~Maid Custard Parlors. This new and exciting opportunity is based on the same principles, practices, and recipe that made Amish~Maid "THE" Amish Homemade Ice Cream Concession. Current opportunities include, Partial or complete ownership of Independent Custard Parlors. Contact Joe for Details, 517-857-3629. Amish~Maid started with Amish Ice Cream Homemade Ice Cream and was founded in 1989 by Joe E. Hostetler. I was born and raised horse and buggy Amish on the farm. My recipe was originally made by my mother. In the Hostetler home there was and is only one way to cook, and that was the old fashion way. I remember very well my mother cooking on a wood fired stove and there was only one way we would have ice cream. My mother would make the ice cream mix from scratch and my father, brothers, and me would freeze the mix with an old white mountain ice cream freezer using ice and salt. Now Amish~Maid not only sells Amish~Maid commercial ice cream dry mix, but produces several private labels of ice cream dry mix and has expanded sales to include old time and modern ice cream equipment all tested during 18 years as a profitable Ice Cream Concessionaire.

The Amish and the World Wide Web ! What a peculiar combination, old-fashioned quiet people and the most recent and as yet ungoverned, communication device. But there is an objective behind the aberration. The purpose of the page is:
  • to educate the general public about this particular ethnic group.
  • to provide information to local officials, business people and others who have contact with the Amish, particularly if these contacts began in the recent past.
  • to bring together in one site selected material found on the Web pertaining to the Amish.
  • to highlight the positive influences of diverse ethnic groups in our country. Lee Zook and Kyle White have worked with a variety of Amish groups when they had conflicts with their neighbors. Often these conflicts occur because the Amish avoid many of the modern conveniences and technologies that most post-modern people take for granted. They do so because of their religious beliefs and their tradition. These two items, religious beliefs and traditions, are so tightly interwoven that it is difficult to separate one from the other. As in many religions, for the Amish, belief to some extent flows from tradition.
    When confronted with some law or regulation that does not fit their religious belief, Amish sometimes ignore the law. In some cases, these conflicts escalate until Amish find themselves in court defending their actions. Often court cases have been argued using the basic tenants of the

    Folk Medicine, Amish and Swiss-Pennsylvania German
    Folk Medicine, Amish and Swiss-Pennsylvania German. Mennonite and Amish emigrants from Europe in the 18th and 19th century brought to America a storehouse of remedies for ailments. Before the days of modern medicine, folk remedies flourished, often bringing relief and even cures to the sick and ailing. The use of teas, ointments, tonics, salves, liniments, and poultices was common in the average household. Oral tradition as well as neatly penned recipes handed down from generation to generation have kept folk medicine alive in many Amish and Mennonite communities. Dozens of remedies are readily available for such ailments as rheumatism and arthritis as are brews and bitters for constipation and itch. Specially prepared health manuals, articles in farm almanacs , and notices on herbal medicines in The Sugarcreek budget (a weekly newspaper for Amish and Mennonite readers) augment the information available.

    Amish
    The Old Order Amish are among the most conservative descendants of the 16th-century Anabaptists. The Old Order are usually distinguished from the Amish Mennonites (now largely absorbed into the Mennonite Church [MC] or various conservative Mennonite groups), Beachy Amish and the New Order Amish by their strict adherence to the use of horses on the farm and as a source of transportation, their refusal to allow electricity or telephones in their homes, and their more traditional standard of dress, including the use of hooks-and-eyes fasteners on some articles of clothing. For all practical purposes, "Amish" has come to be synonymous with "Old Order Amish" in the eyes of most observers in North America. In this century the Old Order Amish population has grown very rapidly. In 1900 there were approximately 3,700 Amish in North America. By 1990 the estimated figure had increased to 127,800 (adult membership approximately 56,200). According to sociologist Julia Erickson and her colleagues, the Amish are among the fastest-growing populations in the world. They prohibit the use of contraception and have low infant mortality rates. The average Amish woman can expect to have at least seven live births. A rapid increase in the Amish population has been one factor that has led to gradual change and innovation in Amish society. Population pressures have increased the price of land and led to shortages of available farmland in some settlements. The Amish respond to this pressure by adopting farm management strategies of the larger society such as reducing the farm size and field crop production, placing more emphasis on the production of milk by increasing the size of a dairy herd, or specializing in the production of hogs for market.
