The last blacksmith shop in Wooster was operated by John Brillhart at 119 E. South Street. The shop was located in an area behind what is now the Wayne Metropolitan Housing apartments on the east side of South Market Street, not far from the post office. The building was demolished as part of an urban renewal project in the late 1960s.

Local News 1913: An 8-by-10-inch hole was all three young men needed to escape from the Wayne County Jail the afternoon of March 17. Because of overcrowding in the jail, six young men were confined to a cell upstairs, where several years earlier, part of one of the bars was cut away and covered with padding. After discovering the hole, the three young men small enough to fit through it- Frank McMann and William Spencer, both of Akron, and Daniel Duncan of Fredericksburg- made their escape. The young men were gone for about two hours before Sheriff Marcus Van Nest, who had gone home for supper, discovered they were missing. He immediately called the chief of police, who with his men, kept watch in the city, while Van Nest hopped on a train and headed north, figuring McMann and Spencer would try to return to Akron. Sitting in the smoker, Van Nest saw McMann board

the train in Madisonburg. McMann saw Van Nest and immediately jumped off. A foot chase ensued, with McMann disappearing into some nearby woods. Van Nest returned to the train and continued north to the power house, where he exited the train and began walking back toward Madisonburg. Halfway there, he happened upon McMann, who offered no resistance. McMann was taken back to the jail, where he was put in a cell downstairs. Acting on a tip, Van Nest and the chief of police drove to the home of Duncan’s sister in Millbrook, where they found Duncan. Although Spencer was not apprehended, Van Nest was confident that he would be captured within a day or two. McMann and Spencer, who were to have been released in four days, faced the possibility of a new charge and a trip to the workhouse.

Barberton Podiatry Happy and Healthy Feet for Your Entire Family
Story & Photo by KATE MINNICH WRITER & DESIGNER
M
edically speaking, our attention tends to focus on exercising, heart health and concerns about cancer, but the health of our feet determines our mobility and warrants a higher degree of concern than most are currently providing. Barberton Podiatry offers high quality medical attention for feet and ankles of all ages. Dr. Gina Tomsho, DPM, AACFAS became the owner of Barberton Podiatry in August of 2014. She completed a three-year surgical residency at Alliance Community Hospital and graduated from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in 2011. Dr. Tomsho’s training consisted of forefoot, rear foot and ankle reconstructive surgery, as well as diabetic foot surgery and trauma. Dr. Tomsho decided to become a podiatrist because she wished to help a variety of people and employ a range of comprehensive foot and ankle care. Due to her schooling, Dr. Tomsho is able to treat a multitude of foot aliments from bunions to peripheral neuropathy. If the ailment requires surgery, Dr. Tomsho and her staff are capable of carrying out the process. Surgery to correct

simple hammertoes or bunions can be completed within the office. For longer surgeries that require general anesthesia, she will work out of Barberton Hospital. At Barberton Podiatry, Dr. Gina Tomsho will tend to a wound and then see about fixing the source of the problem in order to increase the overall health of the foot. Whether ill-fitting shoes or a genetic trait cause the ailment, it can be eased through a couple different methods. Let’s examine a bunion problem: Our feet are often crammed into constricting shoes that can rub uncomfortably and cause sores. The feeling in the feet decreases as the body ages, which can result in unnoticed sores due to ill-fitting shoes. Shoes can become ill fitting if a bunion increases in size. This bone deformity on the side of the foot will rub against the inside of the shoe and cause a sore on the foot. If this sore is not properly taken care of and continues to be irritated, then the spot may become infected. Dr. Tomsho will first treat the infection and care for the wound caused by the rubbing of the shoes. Then she will talk the patient through a couple different options
they may have depending on the severity of the bunion. Sometimes the bunion can be corrected with a simple “bumpectomy,” or simply removing the bump. In severe cases the bunion will need to be corrected using cuts in the bone, allowing for it to be shifted and screwed into the proper place. According to Dr. Tomsho, education is the key in regards to foot health. By maintaining a constant relationship with a podiatrist, most severe foot problems can be avoided. As exhibited in the bunion example, if taken care of early, the process to eliminate the deformity is less invasive. Being aware of the effect your shoes have on your feet also plays a large role in foot health. Another special focus of Dr. Tomsho’s is diabetic foot health. There are many undesirable foot troubles such as peripheral vascular disease and peripheral nueropothy that come with diabetes. Peripheral neurophothy begins with tingling in the toes and the feet and eventually travels up the leg. This can lead to overall loss of feeling in your feet which can increase your risk of a diabetic foot ulcer.
on the foot. Dr. Tomsho’s medical assistant will help measure the foot to ensure a proper fit and then shoes can be purchased directly from the office, or often times insurances companies provide coverage for diabetic shoes. Barberton Podiatry will also take a mold of your foot to have a custom orthotic made that will perfectly cradle the foot within the shoe. Dr. Gina Tomsho of Barberton Podiatry offers comprehensive foot and ankle care. As a podiatrist, Dr. Tomsho is capable of remedying hammertoes, bunions, ingrown toenails, sprains, strains or fractures to the foot or ankle, and more. While in the office, Dr. Tomsho may take an x-ray of your foot to examine a bone spur or she may recommend different methods of taking care of a bunion. Whatever the aliment you are suffering in regards to feet, Dr. Tomsho can provide the medical treatment necessary. Barberton Podiatry is located at 200 1st St., Barberton OH 44203.

Dr. Tomsho checks a patient’ s x-ray for a bone spur.
Diabetics are more prone to any wound complication due to their vascular compromise. Diabetic feet do not heal as fast as a healthy non-diabetic foot and any wound or sore should be monitored for signs of infection. Having a podiatrist check your feet could decrease your risk of complications in the long run. Wearing diabetic shoes could protect the feet from many of the common foot ailments such as ulcers, corns and callouses. Diabetic shoes are crafted to be deeper and wider than normal shoes, allowing for more space and decreased pressure

ging is a part of life, but aging gracefully is a choice influenced by the activity level of every individual. Remaining mobile into your elder years can significantly improve your range of motion and quality of life. Erin O’Neill has spent 30 years in the Wooster medical community as a physical therapist, witnessing the degeneration caused by a lack of activity and progression in age. Recognizing the need for preventative and maintenance physical therapy for individuals of various capabilities, Erin has decided to spend her retirement operating an independent business. Erin has been an influential figure to the physical therapy scene in Wayne County. At the Wooster
Now & Then • 10
Community Hospital, Erin worked to establish a physical therapy department at the Wooster clinic. Erin found her niche through the interactions with physical therapy patients. Noticing a lack of physical therapy resources in the current market for the aging generations Erin has retired from the Wooster Clinic to offer preventive and maintenance physical therapy. Erin is wishing to target those who want to supplement therapy in addition to the Medicare covered sessions. There are situations when the therapy sessions stop and an individual can feel as if they need a little more help in order to completely regain all the muscle and stability they had lost. If these people do not receive additional aid and they remain unsteady their risk of falling is significantly higher. Contrary to popular belief, physical therapy is not just for those who have suffered a broken bone or a stroke. Therapy may also be used to increase or maintain an individual’s range of motion. Everyday tasks such as getting into and out of bed can become difficult with the loss of core and leg muscles. Through physical therapy the muscle can be recreated. Common debilitating aliments such as arthritis or the natural loss of muscle due to inactivity can be lessened through physical therapy. As the body changes with age individuals have to relearn how to accomplish certain movements. Perhaps getting out of a chair has become difficult. In this case the muscles need to be reminded of the momentum needed to propel the body up and out of a chair. Simply scooting to the edge and slowly trying to lift your body upwards is not enough. Erin encourages her clients to try the motion a bit faster and generally the patients are met with success. Adults with balance or vertigo problems may also benefit from regular physical therapy sessions. Moments of vertigo or unsteady balance can limit an individual’s capability and increase their risk of falling. Training the body to react faster as the body begins to lean heavily to one side will prevent a fall. The training involves a simple technique of stepping from side to side while holding onto a counter for stability. In this way the muscle on the outside of the leg increases and grows use to catching the body. Pre-surgery therapy can decrease the recovery time of a patient or even completely eliminate the need for surgery. Surgery to decrease the pain in a knee may be
irrelevant after undergoing therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee. When surgery is necessary, recovery time can be significantly decreased because of the muscle built before undergoing the procedure. In many cases, Erin will focus on strengthening the core muscles and gluts of an individual in order to improve their overall balance and movement. It is a phrase heard time and again that the core has to be strong in order to support the body. If the core is not strong enough to provide the proper support to extremities then motions such as getting out of a chair are going to be difficult. By breaking down every day activities, Erin has been able to improve the range of motion and balance of several individuals. When Erin is first contacted by an individual seeking physical therapy she asks questions to better understand the condition of the body and an individual’s goals. Erin will ask for a medical history in order to be aware of limitations the individual may have or how current medications may impact therapy. If heart problems exist, Erin will be sure to tailor the exercises in such a way to limit heart strain and discourage future heart problems as a result of the therapy. The biggest question Erin asks every client is what he or she is looking for. A client may be looking to improve their overall physical health another may be fearful of falling, whichever the reason, Erin will work with the individual to reach their goal. Erin provides her therapy in the home of the participant for added security. Most gyms are geared toward young bodies capable of lifting heavy weights or moving quickly. This sort of setting is not comfortable for everyone, even if a personal trainer is available. One patient of Erin’s is a farmer who has a bad back from years of milking cows. He is not comfortable in a gym setting but because Erin comes to his home he has been able to strengthen his back and lessen his pain. The loss of function is the loss of freedom and maintaining that freedom is made possible through physical therapy. Focusing on exercises and motions that will ensure the safety of an individual Erin recommends activities to strengthen key muscles in the body. Erin O’Neill can be reached at 330-465-5376 or by email at erinoneill@neo.rr.com.
Things to Keep in Mind Before Beginning to Exercise Get a vision check-up. A decrease in visual ability and perception can increase risk of falls. Impaired vision can cause people to trip over items they can’t see, miss steps or bump into obstacles. Make sure your vision has been checked recently and you are using contact lenses or glasses as prescribed by an eye doctor. Know your medication side effects. Ask your doctor about the medications you are taking and whether they can contribute to dizziness or decreased balance. Medicines that affect blood pressure can lead to light-headedness as well. Your doctor may be able to substitute a medication with an alternative if your existing prescription is affecting your balance. Be aware of posture. Try to maintain weight over the ankles. Do not lean too far forward or backward, which can cause you to topple over. Keep your feet in a wide stance while standing to improve stability. Don’t make quick movements. Always stand up and sit down slowly. Jarring motions may affect equilibrium or blood pressure, leading to unsteadiness. Always consult with a doctor before beginning any exercises.

Wacky Holidays Making Any Day Special Story by KATE MINNICH
WRITER & DESIGNER
W
hacky national holidays have been appearing left and right, celebrating seemingly random activities. Each one seemingly whackier than the last, these nationally recognized holidays are celebrations ranging from hugging a cat to eating whatever you wish; each holiday can be tailored to the needs or wishes of every individual. Don’t feel like talking like a pirate, the holiday doesn’t have to be acknowledged, although one should be prepared for others to participate. Through this new phenomenon there is nearly a holiday per day and the celebration or cheery attitude is not mandatory. These holidays are not generally celebrated through familiar gatherings or ornate dinners, yet they continue to be nationally, or even internationally, recognized. Some even slip by without anyone noticing their coming. The reason behind this surge in holiday splendor is a bit fuzzy for most, but the main push behind the idea is for an overall increase in the level of joy. As far as it can be discerned most of the holidays are devised to break up the week and the general humdrum of life. Without the amusement Talk Like a Pirate Day stirs up September can seem stale after the celebration of Labor Day. The months right after the New Year always seem unrelenting when it is realized there will not be another major holiday until May. Endless months dragging one after the other deserve a bit of spice with nationally recognized holidays created simply to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Hug Your Cat Day celebrated May third was created as a simple reminder to cat owners to hug their feline friends. Similar to other pets, cats want to be caressed and
Now & Then • 14
cuddled from time to time, but the messiness of life tends to get in the way and the cat’s opportunity for a back scratch can get lost. Take May third and really massage that back, just to remind your cat why you coexist in the first place. Not a cat lover? No worries, these holidays are not set in stone and can be modified to your personal preference. Others may gloss completely over Hug Your Cat Day in anticipation of Star Wars Day celebrated on May the fourth. The choice is yours. We all have at least one person we know who continuously sees the downside in every situation. February 16 was created as a way to decrease the number of these people within our society, National Do a Grump a Favor Day. For whatever reason grumpy people walk around worrying about everything and receiving little gratitude from those around them. There may be no cure for that grumpy neighbor who hates the sound of your lawnmower or the leaves from your trees, but doing something kind for them could bring a momentary smile to their faces. The origins of Do a Grump a Favor Day are a bit unclear, but some attribute the creation to Big Bird from Sesame Street as a ploy to get Oscar out of his grouchy mood. Others believe the day was created by a grumpy who has been turned grumpy due to the environment around them and only want someone to renew their faith in humanity. Whichever creation story you subscribe to, just remember simply smiling in the direction of a frown could decrease the number of grumps in our world. If you are interested in penciling in a few of these holidays to add levity to the days ahead, find a sampling below for your enjoyment. Everything You Do Is Right Day celebrated on the 16th of March is promising to improving anyone’s winter blues. No one likes to be wrong and for this one day only,
no one can be wrong. Whether you believe the sky to be blue, gray or purple it is correct simply because you said it was, no need to explain yourself. Celebrate a day of doing only what you want to do instead of what you need to do for International Goof Off Day on the 22nd. Cast aside that to do list and scratch off some of those items on your bucket list. The same day is also As Young As You Feel Day so there is nothing you cannot do on this holiday. March 26, Make Up Your Own Holiday Day is perhaps the best holiday anyone could have created. It doesn’t exclude particular personalities and offers a completely legitimate reason for any behavior that may otherwise be viewed as unsavory. This could be the day you wear those parachute pants hidden in the back of your closet or enthusiastically sing along to that song your grandchildren play on repeat. Whatever you have the desire to do, take this day and do as you please. These are only three of the best national holidays celebrated in March and they are available without any strings attached. No preparation or necessary traveling required. The beauty of these whacky holidays is that they were all created to make the human soul a bit lighter and laughter a bit more frequent.

Cottage Pie Ingredients: For the filling: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 cups diced yellow onion 1 cup diced carrot 1 cup diced celery 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 1⁄2 pounds ground round 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons unbleached allpurpose flour 1⁄4 cup Pinot Noir (or any good dry red wine) 2 cups beef broth 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce 4 sprigs fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1⁄2 cup frozen peas For the mashed potatoes: 3 1⁄2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces Kosher salt 1 1⁄4 cups whole milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 3⁄4 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon minced fresh flatleaf parsley 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Now & Then • 16
Servings: 6
Directions: To make the filling: In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Stir to coat the vegetables in butter, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Use a spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl. In the Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks, until cooked through. Return the vegetables to the pot and stir in the tomato paste and flour. Pour in the wine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and Worcestershire sauce and add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the peas and pour the filling into a 3- to 4-quart baking dish. While the filling is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400°. Place the peeled potatoes in a pot and add cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Add a generous pinch of salt, cover, and bring to a boil. Crack the lid and cook the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
With the lid askew, carefully drain the water from the pot with the potatoes. Return the pot to the stove over low heat. Add the milk and butter to the potatoes, cover, and simmer the potatoes in the milk and butter for 10 to 12 minutes. Season the potatoes with 3⁄4 teaspoon of salt and mash with a potato masher or mix with a hand mixer. Add the cheddar and stir to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Use a spatula to spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling in the baking dish and spread them out evenly. Use a fork and drag it along the top of the mashed potatoes to make ridges. These will crisp up and brown in the oven. Place the cottage pie on a rimmed baking sheet and slide it into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top of the potatoes is golden and crispy and the filling is bubbling. Combine the minced parsley and thyme. Serve large spoonfuls of the cottage pie in bowls with a sprinkle of the parsley and thyme.

Add cocoa mixture, and whisk until smooth. Pour batter into the baking pan, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly
clean, 26 to 28 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes in the pan and 30 minutes out of the pan on a cooling rack. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth. In another medium bowl, combine pudding mix with Splenda. Add vanilla extract and 1⁄4 cup cold water, and vigorously stir until mostly smooth and slightly thickened.

ne of the best things about aging is being able to enjoy the fruits of your labor without as many obligations as you might have had when you were a younger adult. For example, many men and women have a lot more freedom to travel once they turn 50. Many of today’s older adults have a wealth of discretionary time, and those who focused on retirement planning from an early age have the money to fund a recreational lifestyle. Travel companies and other businesses understand that Baby Boomers and other seniors are valuable customers and are rolling out the red carpet with a bevy of discounts and perks. AARP Services, Inc. has long been a trusted resource in senior-based information and resources. The organization continues to broker relationships with various companies to arrange deals on travel-related services and products for older men and women. Members of AARP can link directly to deals through the organization’s website. In addition to companies that work with AARP, many other travel companies have discounts or other perks available to men and women over 50. All consumers need to do is inquire about such benefits. When in doubt, log on to the company’s website or give their customer service department a call. Here are some other ways to secure deals on travel and other services.
Now & Then • 20
• Do some networking. Fellow seniors who log in to chat rooms or who are members of social clubs may have the inside scoop on age-based travel deals. Learn the ropes from others who have been there before you and take notes on which companies offer the best deals. • Read the fine print. Understand the details of senior discounts and compare them to other promotions offered to anyone, regardless of age. You may be able to get a better deal or combine offers if you’re not locked into a senior plan. Also, check the dates when deals are valid to ensure you can travel when you want to. • Always carry proof of age. Whether it is a driver’s license, AARP card, passport, or birth certificate, carry proof of your age at all times. You do not want to miss out on a discount because you cannot verify you are 50 or older. Though being mistaken as younger could be a boost to your ego, it will not benefit your bottom line. • Explore airline perks. Men and women 55 and older may be eligible for “golden-agers” discounts at major airlines. Such deals are not typically advertised, so you may need to speak with an airline representative to secure the discount. Seniors also can request special services, such as baggage assistance, priority seating and a ride to the gate, at the airport. • Try negotiating with vendors. If you cannot find a senior discount, consider negotiating with vendors for deals. Local hotels or businesses may prove more flexible than national chains. It never hurts to ask for a senior discount. • Embrace flexibility in scheduling. Unlike students or business travelers, seniors tend to have freedom with regard to the days of the week when they can travel. You have the flexibility to go and come as you please without having to coordinate with vacation time or school breaks. Use this to your advantage and travel during off-peak times when crowds will be small and rates may be lower. Don’t feel down if you’re approaching another milestone birthday. Entering into your golden years gives you access to a variety of perks and discounts that can save you time and money on travel.

Gaylord Nelson is credited with coming up with the idea for a day devoted to focusing on environmental issues affecting the entire planet. Nelson was reportedly inspired by the vehement student anti-Vietnam War movement that took root in the United States in the late 1960s and continued into the 1970s. Senator Nelson felt that if he could inspire similar passion among the masses about environmental issues, then those issues would force their way into the national agenda. Senator Nelson’s intuition proved correct, and on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans gathered in streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate against policies and practices that contributed to the deterioration of the environment. Today, Earth Day has spread far beyond U.S. borders and is now observed in 192 countries across the globe. New initiatives continue to be proposed as the world population grows increasingly aware of the effects of climate change and the role ordinary citizens can play to protect the environment every day.
