LOOKING BACK

THEN

NOW

The Sears Roebuck and Co. stores from the 1950’s were much different then the stores of today. Looking at the history, in 1887 Richard W. Sears and Alvah C. Roebuck came together and put out their first mail-order catalog. Gradually, Roebuck's name was dropped from the mix, and Sears established more and more physical locations where people could shop. They stopped selling guns and ammunition in the early 80’s. The Sears and Roebuck store was first located on East Liberty Street in downtown Wooster then moved to the College Hills Shopping Center.

Today, the local Sears Hometown Stores sell the top 10 Appliance Brands, tools, lawn equipment, and some electronics and household items. They still offer the trademark Craftsman brand. Although the Sears catalog is no more, customers can easily find what they are looking for on the Sears website and have it shipped to their home or store for pick up. Today the Sears Hometown store is located on Lincoln Way East in Wooster.

NEWS FROM THE PAST November 1950 Voters Booth Erected on Public Square The League of Women’s Voters book has been erected on Wooster’s public square and league members will be there today through election day, Tuesday, to provide information to voters.

“Grand Ole Opry” Hoedown, Oldest Commercial Program This being Radio and Television week, marking the 30th anniversary of the radio broadcasting industry, a good topic for today certainly might be the oldest commercially sponsored program on the air. The program is, “Grand Ole Opry,” a hoedown concert aired every Saturday evening on NBC, a professionally corny style program which has become a multi-million dollar industry. Its home is Nashville, Tenn., and its existence is not too often important to city folk. “Grand Ole Opry” this week celebrates its 25th anniversary as a commercial show. Seven million listeners regularly heed its hog-calls and hayseed fun each Saturday. In Nashville, it’s a four-hour show playing to 5,000 persons who make pilgrimages from some 15 states just to watch the festivities.

Surgery on TV in Color Today Cleveland – Surgeons from all over the United States and several foreign countries grouped themselves around special television receivers in Cleveland public hall today to watch surgery performed at Charity hospital. Although old hat to many of the 2,500 surgeons attending, the annual meeting of the U. S. Chapter of the International College of Surgeons marked the debut of color video in Cleveland.

Joke Corner Computer Problems

Becky was 73 and just got her first computer. After her son spent over 2 hours teaching her how to use it, she was sure she knew everything there was to know about computers. Unfortunately though, one day she couldn’t get it to start so she promptly called an IT guy to come over and take a look at it. The IT guy managed to fix the issue in a few minutes and was on his way. Becky was proud when she overheard the IT guy on the phone with his boss telling him about the issue. She was sure it meant it was a serious issue, and she was sure she took care of it the right way. “Excuse me if you don’t mind me asking,” asked Becky to the man on his way out. “I couldn’t help overhearing you on the phone with your boss. What exactly is an Id ten T problem? Just so I can tell my son.” The man smiled, took out a pen, “it stands for this: I-D -1-0-T”. Read more at: -www.greatcleanjokes.com

MOVIES & TELESVISION

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: The Gill Man's Debut by RANDY WILSON NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR

Universal Studios was the “Home of Horror” from 1931 to 1946, but its Gothic monsters were relegated strictly to appearances alongside Abbott & Costello by the 1950s. There are many theories for the decline of Universal’s horror movies (e.g., the real-life horrors of World War II, uneven quality, genre fatigue, etc.). Whatever the reason, science fiction cinema had surpassed the horror genre and Universal wanted to recapture its audience. It got off to a good start with It Came from Outer Space (1953), a well-regarded alien creature saga based on a story by Ray Bradbury. The following year, Universal released Creature from

4 | Now & Then

the Black Lagoon and launched the career of its most famous monster since the Wolf-Man. Like It Came from Outer Space, Creature was filmed in 3D and directed by Jack Arnold. The idea for a movie about a human-like amphibian creature however, is attributed to producer William Alland. There are various origin stories, but the most commonly accepted is that Alland heard about the legend of a “man-fish” in the Amazon during a dinner party. His film kicks off with an archaeologist discovering a fossil of a webbed hand in the upper regions of the Amazon. Focusing on the fossil, he fails to see a living webbed hand emerge from the murky water and disappear back into it. (The stinger music that accompanies each appearance of the Creature is very effective, if overused; there is no credited composer.)

Back at the Instituto de Biologia, wealthy Mark Williams (Richard Denning) is impressed enough with this new find to sponsor an expedition to unearth the rest of the skeleton. He takes along Kay Lawrence (Julie Adams), a pretty colleague, and her fiance, ichthyologist David Reed (Richard Carlson). Tracking the fossil remains to a hidden lagoon, the scientists discover the Gill Man and capture him. He soon escapes, though, and the hunters become the quarry when the humans find their exit from the lagoon blocked with a dam. It also becomes apparent that the Creature’s main interest in the humans is Kay. This straightforward plot serves as the framework for one of cinema’s more unusual love triangles. Naturally, I’m not talking about the friction between Mark and David over Kay’s affections. Though Mark may be interested in her, Kay ignores him. The real triangle is between Kay, David, and the Gill Man. Kay certainly shows no affection for the Gill Man, but he does intrigue her, and she is quick to note that he never hurts her. One might call their relationship one of mutual curiosity. It’s an intriguing one, no doubt, fueled by the film’s most famous sequence. When Kay makes an illadvised decision to go for a swim, the Creature spies her submerged form (quite fetching in a one-piece white bathing suit). As Kay swims along the surface, the Creature–his face looking up at her–glides underneath her, mirroring her movements. It’s a stunning vision of erotic underwater ballet. This classic scene is only briefly described in the script, so most of the credit belongs to director Jack Arnold, who often infused his films with a stunning visual or two. (Another brilliant scene is a close-up of the Creature’s hand as he hesitantly reaches out to touch Kay’s foot as she paddles in the water.) Ben Chapman played the Creature on land with Ricou Browning performing the underwater scenes. Considering he was wearing a molded sponge rubber suit, Browning’s Creature is amazingly graceful and expressive. There were two different suits. The one used

for the underwater scenes was painted bright yellow to create a contrast against the dark water (the film was shot in black-and-white). Although many people provided input to the design of the Creature suits, most film historians recognize Millicent Patrick’s contributions as the most significant. According to Bill Warren in his excellent reference book Keep Watching the Skies!, the Creature’s body was inspired by the Oscar statuette and its head was modeled after Anne Sheridan. By the way, the Creature is never referred as “the Creature” in the film. (Actually, an earlier title for the film was simply The Black Lagoon). It’s none other than Whit Bissell–one of Hollywood’s busiest supporting actors–who first labels the Creature “the Gill Man.” It’s a nickname that would stick. The Creature from the Black Lagoon was a huge hit for Universal and inspired two sequels: Revenge of the Creature (1955), which was also shot in 3D, and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956). The Creature also made cameo appearances in other films (like Mad Monster Party) and on television (e.g., Uncle Gilbert in The Munsters) in the ensuing years. There have been numerous plans to mount a big budget remake, including a proposed 2015 reboot with Scarlett Johansson rumored as a cast member (not playing the Creature!). Often shown in revival houses and on cable tv during the Halloween season, The Creature from the Black Lagoon is a fun film anytime of the year. While 3-D is best on the big theatre screen, the movie is available on various home media sources. Don’t forget your classic red and green 3-D glasses or you could miss something.

MEMORIES

of Visiting All 50 States by STEVEN STEPHENS COLUMBUS DISPATCH TRAVEL WRITER

During the summer, I wrote about visiting all 50 U.S. states and the Best for Last Club in Fargo, North Dakota. For many travelers, it seems, the Peace Garden State is the last stop on the list of 50. The Fargo-Moorhead Visitor Center in Fargo gives new members of the club a goody bag of souvenirs and features him or her on its Facebook page. Several readers emailed their own memories of hitting the big 5-0. Today, we highlight a few:

A HERO’S WELCOME

Michael Hallet and his wife, Joyce, were in Minnesota when she decided to surprise him with a quick side trip to North Dakota, his 50th state, he writes. Like other new members of the Best for Last Club, Hallet, 66, a New Albany resident, received the royal treatment in Fargo. Hewas interviewed and photographed by a Fargo newspaper and was treated as a celebrity at a county fair there. “The people of Fargo were extremely friendly,” he reports.

DOUBLY FUN

North Dakota was also the only state lacking for Heath resident Carol Hill, who discovered that the state would also finish up the set for a fellow member of her church, Kathy Mehler. The two decided on an impromptu road trip. And, instead of making a brief hop across the border, Hill and Mehler spent several days in North Dakota, riding an antique trolley in Mandan to Fort Lincoln State Park, touring the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, attending the famous Wild West-themed outdoor musical variety show in Medora, and exploring the magnificent badlands of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. “We started out as acquaintances but became great friends with wonderful memories,” writes Hill, 80.

8 | Now & Then

A FAMILY MILESTONE

Jeff Ruth, 65, of Marion and his 33-year-old son, Bryan, of Westerville were both stuck at 48 states when they decided that an Ohio State road game would be a great way to hit 50. “We got the last two states together,” writes the elder Ruth. In 2016, the father-and-son flew from Columbus to Wichita in Kansas (state No. 49) and then drove a rental car to Norman in Oklahoma (state No. 50) for the Buckeyes football game on the campus of the University of Oklahoma.

AN IMPRESSIVE RUN

One of the most impressive 50-state stories came from Terry Pescosolido, a retired computer programmer who lives near Hilliard. Pescosolido, 62, has not only visited every state but also has run a marathon in each. He began his quest in 2003 when he discovered a website dedicated to runners shooting for the goal, he writes. At that point, he had run marathons in just three states, but he jumped into the pursuit in a big way. With encouragement from his wife, Karen Lucas, he signed up for the Honolulu Marathon that December — and, from there, was off and running. “Over the next seven years, all our vacation time was used to travel to marathon events and see sights in the states visited,” he writes. During his quest, Pescosolido ran as many as 10 marathons a year. He hoped to finish at the 2010 Boston Marathon but was shut out of registration for that year’s race. Instead, he ran the Cape Cod Marathon in Massachusetts that October and, at the Manchester City Marathon in New Hampshire the next month, hit state No. 50. “New Hampshire will always hold a special place in my heart,” he writes. The big 5-0 usually does.

HEALTH

How seniors can

PRESERVE THEIR BRAINS Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health. But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an effort to prevent or delay the cognitive decline that affects millions of seniors across the globe.

t’s easy to overlook the importance of keeping the brain healthy. However, a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration, memory loss and a host of other issues. Sometimes, by the time symptoms present themselves, it may be too late to reverse any damage. Research suggests that a combination of nutrition and mental, social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity. Harvard Medical School also states that volunteering, caring for others and pursuing hobbies may benefit the brains of older adults. A study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal protein depositions (amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary

tangles) in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to the suggestions mentioned above, those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies.

• Start exercising the brain early on. A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal examined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70. Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants. It’s never too early to put a brain health plan into motion.

• Read more books. Reading can open individuals up to new vocabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability. Enrolling in an education course at a local college, community center or online also may be beneficial. • Hit the gym. Several studies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline. This could be because exercise elevates heart rate, which pumps more blood to the brain and body.

• Supplement with DHA. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dominant in the brain. Adhere to a Mediterranean diet, which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3, including fish and mono-unsaturated fats from olives, olive oil, nuts and seeds. Supplements also may help, but individuals should consult with their doctors about which products to take. • Challenge the mind. Men and women can engage in challenging activities that stray from their routines. Puzzles, strategic games, jigsaw puzzles, or difficult hobbies can benefit the brain. • Keep a close-knit group of friends. Regular conversation and social interaction is a key component of any brain health wellness plan. Slowing cognitive decline and promoting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages.

Fainting spells linked to

BLOOD CLOTS Falls are one of the greatest risk factors for injury among the aging population. When falls are attributed to fainting spells, people may be very eager to get to the source of the fall. Doctors have found that blood clots may attribute to fainting in the elderly. Information published in the journal Clinical Geriatric Medicine found that the elderly are at a higher risk of blood clots because of their reduced mobility. Blood clots may result in deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, and could lead to a pulmonary embolism if left untreated. DVT is a common problem involving the veins of the legs. Blood pooling in the legs may cause a blood clot to form in the deep veins of the lower leg, impairing blood flow back to the heart. A pulmonary embolism, or PE, occurs when a clot dislodges from the leg veins and travels through the bloodstream to reach the heart and lungs. According to the health site Aging Care, as many as one million Americans suffer from blood clots every year, often resulting in hospitalization. While swelling in the legs, cramping in the lower legs, skin color changes, and warmth of the skin where the clot is located can signal a problem, symptoms of a PE may vary greatly. Shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and rapid or irregular heartbeat

can all occur, says The Mayo Clinic. Researchers are finding that, in some cases, fainting episodes also may be indicative of a PE. Italian researchers revealed that, among 560 patients hospitalized for a first-time fainting spell, one in six had a PE. People who are experiencing fainting spells should be on the radar for other symptoms of PE, advises the American College of Chest Physicians. However, it’s important to note that fainting can be attributed to dehydration, a drop in blood pressure and heart-rhythm disturbances.

Certain risk factors put people at a higher chance for DVT and PE. These include:

• prior surgery • certain cancers • cardiovascular disease • bed rest that causes blood to pool • sitting for long periods of time • smoking • being overweight Use of compression stockings to move blood more efficiently, physical activity, leg elevation, anticoagulants, and pneumatic compression can help prevent the formation of clots. Because PE can be life-threatening, people experiencing fainting or other symptoms are urged to speak with their doctors.

CAR TIPS

N AV I G AT E T H E S E

Driver Assistance Apps IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO USE SMARTPHONES OR OTHER DEVICES WHILE BEHIND THE WHEEL. IN FACT, DISTRACTED DRIVING IS A KEY RISK FACTOR FOR AUTOMOTIVE ACCIDENTS. However, certain smartphone applications and features can make road trips and other excursions easier, safer and more enjoyable — provided these apps are used before getting in the car, when safely pulled over, or in the hands of a passenger.

Make a pitstop

Drivers may not know where to pull off the highway when they need a mid-trip snack or a restroom run. iExit enables you to see all upcoming exits on a particular roadway (when location services are turned on) and which amenities are accessible at each exit. The app also tells drivers which way to go if they need to find gas stations or restaurants. Icons indicating food, fuel, hospitals, and even banks/ATM machines are included to indicate what’s available at the exit.

Popular sights

Field Trip by Google will pull from categories you have selected and your location to indicate potential sites of interest around you. The app works off of recommendations from travel and lifestyle sources, and will provide Bluetoothenabled alerts when you’re close by.

Fill ‘er up

Exclusively for locating fuel stations, GasBuddy also helps drivers compare gas prices so they can save money if they

so desire. When fuel costs can make or break a trip, this app will keep your tank and wallet full.

Gain performance data

To keep track of vehicle performance, use Dynolicious Classic. While this app’s not free, it’s less expensive than a visit to a service station. Dynolicious relies on an iPhone’s built-in accelerometers to gauge lateral and longitudinal acceleration and horsepower.

Get trusted repairs

It is important to find a trusted mechanic who will fix a problem for a reasonable price. Repair Pal is an app that has already culled quotes and reviews from nearby mechanics to simplify comparison shopping.

Navigation made easy

Smartphones already feature built-in map apps that offer navigation and directions, such as those offered by Google and Apple. But Waze is a community-driven app that provides realtime updates to traffic situations, gas prices, law enforcement sightings, and alternative routes to avoid delays.

No more lost cars

Finding that elusive parking spot can be challenging. When you finally grab a space in a parking garage or on city streets, you want to make sure you can find your way back there easily. Enter Honk, an app that can mark your vehicle’s location with a GPS pin. You can also make text or verbal notes indicating position or how much time you have on a parking meter, as well as use the app to find businesses nearby. Various apps can be assets to drivers, helping them to save both money and time.

Advertising in the 1950s As I was sitting at the microfilm desk at the library researching Daily Records from the 1950,’s for a potential Then and Now features, I was enlightened with a story idea. The differences in the ads from 1950 to now caused me to pause and reflect. I have worked on the advertising side of the newspaper industry for 25 years, but my tenure is well after the heyday of newspaper advertising. This observation had me thinking of a conversation I had when I managed a senior sales rep named Jerry at the Mansfield News Journal over five years ago. Jerry was very close to retirement at the time and had worked at the News Journal for over 40 years. He spoke of the times when he would hold court at his favorite booth at the former Five and Ten once located in the Richland Mall during the 70’s and early 80’s. Jerry boasted of how the business owners would come visit him at his customary booth at the Five and Ten to place their weekly advertising. The full-page ads would flow just like the coffee and conversations. Jerry would make his monthly sales goal just by sitting at that booth and taking ads from the big department stores at the mall. This story got me thinking about the ads I was looking at from the Daily Records of the 1950’s. One of the main differences I observed were the businesses that are no longer opened. Stores like Freelander’s, Cohen’s, Frank Wells Drug Store, Brenner Brothers and Nick Amster are unheard of by many of the younger generations. Another observation is the differences in what was being advertised. The larger Freelander’s ads had sketched pictures depicting women in classic dress coats and slacks and men in suits and with high end dress shoes while todays retailers show women in bras and panties and men in torn jeans and tee shirts. There wasn’t one medical related ad to be found in the historical papers and yet today’s newspapers are full of advertisements for hospitals, doctors, medical services and seminars. I also found ads for Camel and Phillip Morris Cigarettes depicting glamorous people smoking cigarettes and enjoying life while today’s ads show the effects of cancer from years of cigarette smoking. The other noticeable observation was the pricing. One ad featured shampoo for $1.28 while a typical bottle of shampoo now can cost $3 or more. In a hunting ad, the price

for a hunting coat was $6.29 and a shotgun was $29.95. Similar ads today feature a coat for $39.99 and a shotgun for $299.00. A new car was advertised at $1,500 in the 1950’s while today a new car would advertise a starting price of start $15,000 and higher depending on the brand. A loaf of bread was advertised at .18 while today’s ads show bread around $1.50. Times have changed and long gone are the days when businesses relied solely on the newspaper to inform the general consumer of sales and specials. Technology has changed how retailers connect with consumers. It is still nostalgic to look back but no matter how we may want things to stay the same change is inevitable. It’s how we deal with the change that makes us more adaptable and more efficient consumers.

In recent years, heightened awareness with regard to the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet have led many people to try it. Many delicious dishes are included in a Mediterranean diet, and for many newcomers, this approach to eating suits their lifestyles and health goals.

Pan-fried Kidneys with Bacon and Mustard Offal might not be the first thing people think of when considering a Mediterranean diet, but it fits in with the Mediterranean way of cooking that uses every part of the animal. Those who want a truly Mediterranean experience can try their hands at the following recipe for “Pan-fried Kidneys with Bacon and Mustard” from Sophie Braimbridge’s “Stylish Mediterranean in Minutes” (Kyle Books).

Ingredients: 3⁄4 14 13⁄4 1 1 2 1 2 4 2 1

ounce dried porcini ounces lamb’s or calf’s kidneys ounces smoked bacon tablespoon chopped thyme or rosemary leaves garlic clove tablespoons butter tablespoon olive oil tablespoons brandy tablespoons heavy cream teaspoons good-quality whole grain mustard Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper tablespoon coarsely chopped flatleaf parsley to garnish

16 | Now & Then

Serves 4

Directions: 1 Immerse the porcini in just enough hot water to cover them (too much water results in overcooking later) and set aside to soften. Halve the kidneys lengthwise, remove the thin membrane on the outside if necessary and cut out the white fatty core. Cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes and set aside. Dice the bacon or cut into strips. Chop the thyme and garlic and set aside. 2 Select a large skillet and heat up the oil and butter. When hot, add the kidneys, cooking one side until just brown, then turning to brown the other side. Season with salt and pepper and remove carefully with a slotted spoon, keeping the butter and oil in the pan. Add the bacon and cook briefly. 3 Squeeze out the porcini, reserving the soaking liquid, and add to the pan along with the garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until the bacon is just lightly browned. Return the kidneys to the pan along with the reserved porcini liquid, discarding any sediment at the bottom of the bowl. Then add the brandy. Cook for a few minutes to reduce the liquid until it makes a thick sauce. Add the cream and mustard, bring to a boil, and when the sauce just coats the kidneys, remove from the heat. Taste to check the seasoning and serve immediately with a scattering of the parsley, either on thin crispy toast with a small warm brioche, or with boiled rice.

Tea time is a part of daily life in England and countries affiliated with the United Kingdom. But that does not mean residents of North America do not host afternoon guests from time to time. On such visits, it’s customary to offer coffee or tea and a light snack. Prospective hosts who want to offer something sweet and a little bit traditional can try this recipe for “Rava Tea Cake with Almond Paste and Rose Water” from Ruta Kahate’s “5 Spices, 50 Dishes” (Chronicle Books). Typically served at tea time in India, these cakes are often dipped in tea.

Rava Tea Cake with Almond Paste and Rose Water

Ingredients: 1⁄2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided 1 cup coarse rava, sooji or cream of wheat (not quick cooking) 4 ounces almond paste, cut into pieces (see note) 2 tablespoons rose water 1 tablespoon brandy 4 large eggs, separated 1⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar Sliced fresh fruit, such as bananas and strawberries Confectioner’s sugar for garnish Whipped cream for garnish Toasted slivered almonds for garnish

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch-square cake pan. 1 In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter

Serves 8

and 1 cup of the sugar until creamy. Add the rava, almond paste, rose water, and brandy, and continue beating until light and creamy. Beat in the egg yolks 1 at a time. After adding the last egg yolk, beat for an additional minute to develop structure. 2 In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, and beat until soft peaks form. While beating, slowly add the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and continue beating until the egg whites are stiff. 3 Add 1⁄4 of the stiff egg whites to the cake batter, and fold in with swift strokes. This will lighten the mixture. Now add the rest of the egg whites and fold in gently yet firmly, without deflating the mixture. Scrape into the prepared cake pan, smooth the top, and bake in the center of the oven until golden brown all over and cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes. 4 To serve it up as a dessert, place some fresh fruit alongside each serving, dust with a little confectioner’s sugar, and garnish with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and some toasted slivered almonds.

DID YOU KNOW?

Märzen Beer

he style of beer most widely consumed during Oktoberfest celebrations can be traced to a time before refrigeration was available. According to the online beer resource BeerAdvocate.com, brewing beer in the summertime was nearly impossible in the days before refrigeration. Hot weather and the risk of bacterial infections complicated brewing in summer, so many brewers would cease brewing beer in spring and begin again in the fall when temperatures dropped. As a result, the beers available for Oktoberfest celebrations were the Märzen style of beer, or those brewed in the month of March, shortly before brewing ceased for the season. These Märzen beers were kept in cold storage throughout the spring and summer or brewed at a higher gravity so they would keep and be available for consumption during Oktoberfest celebrations. Such brewing restrictions were no longer necessary after refrigeration became commonplace and made it possible to brew beer year-round, but there’s still a strong chance that steins being hoisted during this year’s Oktoberfest celebrations will be filled with Märzen-style beers.
