Will Be More Street Lights
Cities Can License to Help Raise Cash
Wooster Daily Republican There will be about 20 more electric lights on Wooster’s streets under the new contract than under the former one if Service Director Miller accepts the bid made by the Wooster Electric Company on Thursday. The matter is under consideration. Saturday, April 7, 1917

Wilson Better. Is Still in Bed.
Washington—The President is better this morning, but still confined to his bed. No cause for worry. This was the message received by Secretary Tumulty from Admiral Grayson, the president’s personal physician today. President Wilson’s temperature was much reduced this morning. He slept a great deal Friday and has been taking substantial nourishment. His condition seems to be improved generally. When Admiral Grayson, the president’s personal physician, was told that a member of the American peace commission had described President Wilson’s illness as influenza, he retorted, “When did he become a physician?”

Plenary Session Today Fraught with Special Significance; United States is Firm for Peace on 14 Points
Paris—Following the declaration that President Wilson had decided to release the George Washington for another round trip voyage between France and the United States before taking the vessel for home, a positive statement was made by a high official this morning that “the statement is most foolish.” Whether the George Washington makes another round trip prior to carrying the president home depends absolutely on the results that happen between today and the time the George Washington arrives.. While the American delegation is most hopeful, nevertheless those who are close to the president believe the settlement of the peace treaty must be based on the 14 points agreed upon by the allies. Unless this is accomplished the United States will not agree to the treaty.

Although he tried desperately to have his hard work published, he was never able to find anyone interested. It was after a year of not seeing one of his friends that he bumped into him at a supermarket. “Harry am I glad to see you!

Maureen O’Hara:
Remembering The Redhead from Dublin
by Randy Wilson Now & TheN Contributor
The scarlet mane, emerald eyes and creamy complexion were made to be embraced by the Technicolor process, and the ingratiating presence and skill of tall, feisty Irish-born beauty Maureen O’Hara only added to the endurance of the many undisputed film classics on her lengthy resumé.
T
he daughter of a former contralto and a
clothier who was part-owner of the Shamrock Rovers soccer team, Maureen FitzSimons was born on August 17, 1920 in Dublin’s Ranelagh suburb and began training in drama and music from the time she was six. While her father insisted on her mastering clerical skills as a back-up, the athletic tomboy was winning dramatic contests by her early teens and gained admission to the Abbey Theatre at 14. In 1938, the 18-year-old Maureen traveled to London to take bit parts in two films, The Playboy and Little Miss Molly. A screen test she had made caught the attention of Charles Laughton, who proceeded to put her under contract and rechristened FitzSimons with the more marquee-friendly O’Hara. Laughton then promptly arranged for his new protégé to take a pivotal role in Alfred Hitchcock’s costume drama Jamaica Inn (1939). Laughton followed by bringing her later that year to America, casting her as gypsy heroine Esmeralda alongside his title performance in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but with the clouds of war gathering over Europe, Laughton sold her pact to RKO. While her next few projects (including the since-rediscovered
4 | Now & Then
Dance, Girl, Dance) didn’t generate much traction, that changed with the success of her portrayal of a Welsh mining family’s willful daughter in 1941’s Best Picture Academy Award-winner, How Green Was My Valley, the first of five career projects for director John Ford. The following year, the original movie cast, including O’Hara, re-created their screen roles for producer Cecil B. DeMille on the popular radio series, Lux Radio Theater. 1942 found Maureen making her Technicolor debut in the timely flag-waver To the Shores of Tripoli (1942), where she met John Payne, with whom she’d eventually co-star in four films. The actress then costarred with George Montgomery in Ten Gentlemen from West Point, based on the military academy’s early days, with a swashbuckling Tyrone Power in the buccaneer blockbuster The Black Swan. Keeping busy through the WWII era, O’Hara was paired in 1943 with Henry Fonda (and gave the actor his final on-screen kiss before he went off to serve in the Navy) for Immortal Sergeant, and later that same year she re-teamed with Laughton for the Oscar-winning drama This Land Is Mine, directed by Jean Renoir. Back at RKO, she shared the screen with Hollywood bad boy John Garfield in the noir-flavored thriller The Fallen Sparrow. Years later, she reminisced about Garfield, “He was my shortest leading man, an outspoken Communist and a real sweetheart.” Back in Technicolor in 1944–and in a totally different direction–she played Louisa Cody, wife of frontiersman “Buffalo Bill” Cody (Joel McCrea), in the western biopic Buffalo Bill. The game physicality she displayed in action films ensured that she’d be a staple of the adventure genre for the next decade, as evidenced by her turn in 1945’s The Spanish Main as the feisty Contessa, opposite Paul Henried, and two years later in Sinbad, the Sailor with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (both films also boasting the screen villainy of Walter Slezak). Notables from the balance of the ’40s included Do You Love Me, a 1946 musical with Dick Haymes and Harry James where Maureen played (of all things) a dowdy music teacher, followed by two more with John Payne: the classic weeper Sentimental Journey and the 1947 Christmas perennial Miracle on 34th Street, where she was cast as the no-nonsense Macy’s executive who, along with daughter Natalie Wood, learns a lesson in the Yuletide spirit from Edmund Gwenn’s Kris
Kringle. In 1948, she played one of The Foxes of Harrow as Rex Harrison’s tempestuous wife, and she embraced comedy in Sitting Pretty, the first of the popular “Mr. Belvedere” films, with Robert Young. Although she seemed quite at home in the genre, O’Hara later reflected, “Comedy is quite difficult, you have to be able to have fun and portray that sense of fun to the audience watching you.” The ’50s began with her reuniting with director Ford–and commencing her memorable screen partnership with John Wayne–in Rio Grande. Miss O’Hara was then found at her action-packed best as the daughter of the Three Musketeers’ Athos, defending the French throne in At Sword’s Point. Her string of adventure films at Universal included Against All Flags (1952) with costar Errol Flynn, but it was the enduring success of 1950’s Rio Grande that granted Ford the requisite leverage with Republic Pictures’ head honcho Herbert J. Yates for Wayne and O’Hara to collaborate on the irresistible Ireland odyssey The Quiet Man (1952), in which her fiery red hair never looked better. Often called the Queen of Technicolor, it was supposedly Maureen’s gorgeous red tresses in all those adventure movies that kept her from getting the lead in the 1955 movie version of The King and I. According to popular belief, Richard Rodgers turned her down because he didn’t want a “Pirate Queen” in his movie. Although Deborah Kerr is spirited and assertive in the movie, more than likely O’Hara could have brought a sassier dimension to the role, which might be what Rodgers feared. She’d remain a formidable leading lady through the Eisenhower era, as marked by War Arrow (1953), a thrilling Cavalry-versus-Indians adventure also starring Jeff Chandler; as The Redhead from Wyoming (also ’53), where she takes the rustling rap for a slimy politician but cleverly outwits him before the film’s end; and in the title role of the 1955 “un-costume drama” Lady Godiva from Coventry (O’Hara stated that she actually wore a flesh-colored leotard in the movie). 1955 also saw the return of an old co-star (Tyrone Power), an old setting (West Point) and a familiar director (Ford) for The Long Gray Line, a moving true-life story that plays like a West Point-flavored Goodbye, Mr. Chips. In 1957 Ford came calling again, bringing Maureen and the Duke back together in The Wings of Eagles, a biography of pioneering WWI Navy aviator Frank “Spig” Wead, who turned to screenwriting after a debilitating injury; and in 1959, she starred alongside Alec Guinness in Carol Reed’s spy comedy Our Man in Havana, shot in pre-Castro Cuba. Off the set of that film, Miss O’Hara actually met Castro’s right-hand compadre. She later said of him, “I spent a great deal of time with Che Guevara while I was in Havana. I feel he was less a mercenary than he was a freedom fighter. Maureen spent the early to mid-’60s making a seamless transition to matriarchal parts, as shown by her starring role opposite Brian
Keith in the Disney classic The Parent Trap (1961), and reunited with Keith for Sam Peckinpah’s nontraditional Western adventure, The Deadly Companions (1962). She and Keith became good friends and O’Hara made news when she claimed that Keith’s reported suicide in 1997 was actually an accident. Keith had been ailing from both emphysema and cancer and was also in mourning over his 27 year-old daughter’s suicide. Also in ’62, the actress paired with James Stewart in Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation, where she and husband Jimmy try to enjoy a quiet family getaway amid ever-increasing obstacles. The following year she starred with old friend Henry Fonda in the adventure Spencer’s Mountain, based on the same writings which later inspired The Waltons TV series; making it a family affair, her daughter Bronwyn Fitzsimons appears in that film, in an uncredited role. Maureen was then very much at home in high comedy in McLintock!, with Wayne in 1963: and 1966 brought her together again with Stewart for a fine family film, The Rare Breed, in which Maureen tries to deliver a prize bull with help from Jimmy and daughter Juliet Mills — yes, believe it or not, that’s what it’s about. Subsequently, she entered into a happy union with aviator Charles Blair that lasted from 1968 until his death ten years later, and pared back her workload after her final teaming with Wayne in 1971’s Big Jake. It was no secret that she was John Wayne’s favorite actress, and they considered each other best friends. Wayne is quoted as saying, “There’s only one woman who has been my friend over the years and by that I mean a real friend, like a man would be. That woman is Maureen O’Hara. She’s big, lusty, and absolutely marvelous, definitely my kind of woman. She’s a great guy. I’ve had many friends and I prefer the company of men. Except for Maureen O’Hara.” After Big Jake, she embraced a big-screen retirement, briefly resurfacing for the 1973 telefilm of The Red Pony. After Blair’s passing in a 1978 plane crash, she assumed the presidency of his air carrier business for a time. She was coaxed back to filmmaking in 1991 with the tailor-made role of lovelorn cop John Candy’s controlling mom in director John Hughes’ Only the Lonely. She’d make a handful of made-for-TV films over the mid- to late ’90s, after which the redoubtable redhead called it a day with performing. The years that followed saw the publication of O’Hara’s 2004 autobiography ‘Tis Herself, occasional appearances at film festivals and retrospectives, and a retirement divided between her homeland and the U.S. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saluted the actress with an honorary Oscar in early 2015, and she passed away from natural causes at the age of 95 in October of that year.

wonder what can be done to make them feel and look their best. Wrinkles and a little extra weight around the middle certainly garner attention, but hair loss is another age-related concern. As people age, their hair changes in several ways. Graying through loss of melanin pigment is the most apparent. MedlinePlus, the health information resource from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, says that strands of hair also can become less dense and smaller through the years. Many follicles also may stop producing new hairs. Regardless of age, it is customary for a person to lose about 100 hairs a day. If those hairs are not replaced as readily as they once were, patches of thinning and balding hair may appear. The rate at which hair falls out is largely determined by genetics, according to Headcovers Unlimited, a company that produces wigs, scarves and other headwraps. But nearly everyone will experience some sort of age-related hair loss. Hormonal changes during menopause can cause noticeable thinning and scalp exposure that may be mistaken for actual hair loss. There are many ways to mitigate hair loss. Here are some handy tips. • Try a new cut. Work with your stylist to determine a haircut that can suggest the appearance of thickness and camouflage the loss of density or bare spots. Graduated layers kept close to the face can help, as can pixie cuts. Men can choose to go entirely bald and bold. • Treat hair gently. Avoid harsh chemical processes and constant heat styling. Protect fragile hair from damage by pampering it. • Look for thickening formulas. Many shampoos, serums and conditioners tout volumizing or thickening properties. These can help plump up hair and make thinning less apparent. • Talk to your doctor. Hair loss may be a result of medication, a skin condition or aging. Doctors may suggest products, such as Minoxidil and Lipogaine formulas, that can be used on the scalp to reduce hair loss and help follicles produce new hair strands. Hair thinning and hair loss can be a symptom of getting older. Knowledge is key to improve hair’s appearance at any age.

be considerate of others who may not be animal lovers. • Keep identification on your pet that includes your mobile phone number should the pet get lost. • International travel may require a different set of procedures depending on where you are traveling. Some countries do not allow pets to visit, while others may require pets to be quarantined for a predetermined period of time before they’re allowed to travel within the country. You also may be able to apply for a pet passport to make international travel go smoothly. Traveling with pets can be enjoyable, and more pet owners are bringing their companion animals along for the ride.

any pet owners now take their companion animals along with them when they visit family, travel for business or go on vacation. TripAdvisor, the premier travel community resource, annually polls travelers about traveling with pets. Fifty-three percent of respondents travel with their animal companions. Anyone who has traveled with pets understands the impact that dogs, cats, fish, birds, and other animals can have on travel plans. Accommodations for the animals must be made in order to travel with peace of mind, and some people even forgo vacations when they cannot find accommodations for their pets. Many hotels have pet-friendly rooms on lower floors near walking areas. Even many restaurants — where pet hair and food may seem like an unlikely combination — are open to allowing travelers dine with their pets. Animals may be allowed to sit in patio dining areas, and some restaurants even allow pets indoors. Those who choose to travel with pets can heed some precautionary tips and plan ahead. • The American Kennel Club recommends a veterinary visit prior to taking pets on extended trips. Make sure all vaccinations are current and ask for a copy of health certificates/records. • Invest in a carrier or crate large enough for your pet. The crate should be large enough for the pet to stand, turn and lie down. A crate or carrier can keep pets secure in the car and may be recommended in pet-friendly hotels. • Airlines may allow small pets to ride in the cabin in a carrier under your seat. Larger pets will have to ride in the cargo hold. Try to book a direct flight, so that the pet will only have to board and disembark the plane once. Notify airline personnel when you are traveling with a pet. Provide food and water for a long flight. • Confirm the rules at hotels concerning pet stays. Recognize that you may have to pay fees when bringing pets into a hotel. Bring along your pet’s food and water, as unfamiliar foods or water from unfamiliar dishes may cause stomach problems.

Local Feature
Enter the
Library Universe By Doris Sigg
The Wayne County Public Library is full of books and audiovisual materials, but offers many other opportunities as well.The electronic world to which the library provides a connection is abuzz with movies, music, television shows, magazines, and digital and audio books. If you need to get acclimated to the electronic and computer world, take advantage of free computer training at the library. Thirty-minute sessions are available by appointment, at the Reference Department in the Main Library Wooster, or contact a manager at the branches to arrange for time. You get one-on-one instruction and can get help with ebooks, apps, email accounts, basic MS Office software, social media, and more. To access the revolutionary electronic world, one navigates through one of three platforms called Kanopy, Overdrive or Hoopla. If you go to wcplohio. kanopy.com and log in with your library card, you can stream movies right from home, without even going to the library. Here's how it works: You can access up to six films per month and you have three days to watch each film. Play credits re-set on the first of each month. You can access Kanopy from any device including iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, and many more. To browse the library’s collection and borrow a title electronically, you can access the Overdrive platform with the Libby application installed on your Android, IOS (IPhone/IPad/iPod touch) or Windows 10 device. In Libby you follow the prompts to find your library and sign in with a valid library card and pin number.. There are guides to Kids, Teens, Magazines, Romance, Mysteries, Spanish, Award Winners, Workforce Development, What’s New, What’s Popular, What’s Available, Subjects, and Spotlights.
14 | Now & Then
To download and stream free videos, music and audiobooks, visit hoopladigital.com. You will be prompted there to also enter your library card number. The Wayne County Public library allows patrons to borrow up to 10 titles from hoopla each month. It offers audiobook, movie, music, comic, ebook and television titles. If you need any help using hoopla, call (330) 262-0916. It’s that easy. All from the convenience of home or your mobile device. A hotspot lending program extends access to online library services to users at home who cannot afford in-home Internet access or do not have access to Internet infrastructure. While the availability of live streaming and electronic items is exciting, coming into one of the library locations (Creston, Dalton, Doylestown, Rittman, Shreve, West Salem, Wooster Main) may be appealing to those who want to socialize. A wildly popular book club is one that centers around a chosen cookbook. In Wooster, a staff member brings one of the recipes to share. In West Salem, all attendees bring a recipe from the book. In addition to book clubs, there are several rotating activity groups. A large knitting group meets weekly in Shreve, for example. Some locations work on projects like creating blankets for school kids in need. In March there is a “Make a Travel Journal” workshop, as well as “Crafting for a Cause: New Life for Old Bags,” where plastic bags will be converted into sleeping mats for the homeless. There will be a “Coloring for Adults” session at the Main Library. Creston will offer

Outback Ray returns to Shreve with his wild animal friends this May. To look up and register for any of these events, go to wcpl. info/events or call 330-262-0916 or ask at the desk. If branch locations are not convenient for you, let the library come to you. With 79 years of service, your library is on the move. Two bookmobiles visit nearly thirty locations weekly. Two stops are especially noteworthy: Panera Bread 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Monday of the month, and at Apple Creek Historical Society 9:30 to 3 each Friday of the month. Turn in a list or call the Bookmobile office to reserve specific titles. You can visit the bookmobile on the web at wcpl.info/bookmobile. The Wayne County Public Library also offers a home delivery service for those unable to use the library buildings or bookmobiles due to temporary or long-term illness or injury, disability or limited mobility or senior citizens without transportation. A short application is available through the Assistant Manager of Circulation Services that includes information about reading / listening/viewing interests. Library materials are then selected by staff or trained volunteers. Volunteers deliver the items for free on a regular, monthly basis. The Wayne County Public Library is a sub-lending agency for the Ohio Talking Book Program. This is a free library program of braille and audio materials circulated to eligible borrowers in the State of Ohio by postage-free mail coordinated through the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled and the State Library of Ohio. Finally, the main library boasts a vibrant and deep genealogy and local history collection: vital records, census records, property records, plat maps, directories and phone books, databases, court records, and military records. Other resources include bible records, church records, community histories, family histories, family papers, newspapers 1822-present, school records and yearbooks, township minutes, and township notebooks. The Wayne County, Ohio Online Resource Center provides free access to local knowledge, digitized images of documents and artifacts, and other general information pertaining to the history and residents of Wayne County, Ohio. The Genealogy Portal focuses on individuals who at one time resided in Wayne County, Ohio or who may have had some business or personal connection with the county. The Local History Portal focuses on the overall history of Wayne County, Ohio. There are many discussions of different subjects in local history, including history of townships and towns/villages, buildings, businesses, cemeteries, churches schools, military units, organizations and places of recreation. The Business Portal is organized by industry, some of the most common in Accommodation and Food Services, Construction, Finance & Insurance, Health and Social Care, Information, Manufacturing, Real Estate, Retail and Utilities. Check out wcpl.info/genealogy. A virtual or real trip to the library uncovers a treasure trove for information, inspiration and entertainment. Visit soon.

Recipes Mardi Gras is a period of revelry that takes place on the Tuesday prior to the start of the Christian season of Lent. Mardi Gras, French for “Fat Tuesday,” is celebrated in various regions of the world, but perhaps nowhere are celebrations as festive as in New Orleans, where the French-Creole culture mingles with the parades, brass bands, tossed beads, and all around good fun and great food. Partying around the clock requires eating to keep energy levels up. A hearty seafood stew can be the ideal choice for this fun-fueled day. Try this recipe for “Sunday Gumbo” from “Casseroles, Slow Cooker & Soups” (Taste of Home Books) from the editors of Reader’s Digest/A Taste of Home.
Sunday Gumbo
Ingredients: 1 pound Italian sausage links, cut into 1⁄4-inch pieces 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped 3 celery ribs, chopped 1 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 teaspoon dried thyme ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth ²⁄₃ cup uncooked brown rice 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 cups frozen sliced okra
16 | Now & Then
Yield: 16 servings
Directions: 1. In a Dutch oven, brown the sausage and chicken in oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm. In the drippings, saute the red pepper, onion and celery until tender. Stir in the seasonings; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the broth, rice and sausage mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until rice is tender. 2. Stir in the tomatoes, shrimp and okra; cook for 10 minutes, or until shrimp turn pink, stirring occasionally.
Recipes Though March may mark the official arrival of spring, the warm weather synonymous with spring typically does not arrive until April or May. St. Patrick’s Day celebrants who spend the day outdoors celebrating their Irish heritage would do well to warm up with a hearty meal once the revelry ends. Irish stew is tailor-made for such feasts, as it aligns with the theme of the day and also serves as a warm and filling meal. Slow cookers make whipping up a batch of Irish stew somewhat effortless. Simply combine the ingredients in the morning, then return at night to a completely cooked meal you can enjoy with family and friends. Any favorite stew recipe can be adapted to the slow cooker. For inspiration, try this variation.
Slow Cooker Irish Stew
Ingredients: 2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (you also can use chuck beef roast if you prefer it to lamb) 6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 3 to 4 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks 2 large carrots peeled and cut into chunks, or half a bag of prepared baby carrots 2 celery stalks, chopped 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1 can beef broth 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 pint Irish stout beer ¼ cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon flour Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley and thyme Salt and pepper to taste
Serves: 4-6
Directions: 1. In a mixing bowl, coat meat with the flour. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet and cook the onion until translucent. Add the meat and brown. 2. Place the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and celery in the bottom of a slow cooker crock. Add the cooked meat and onions. Pour in the beef broth and beer. 3. Add the tomato paste, fresh herbs and salt and pepper. 4. Cover and cook on “high” for 4 hours or “low” for 8 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle with fresh parsley and offer with crusty bread and salad.

UNITED WAY:
MOBILIZING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO Improve PEOPLE’S LIVES United Way has announced its 2019 funding for agency programs in Wayne and Holmes counties. The programs center around four main service areas: (1) health, mental health and substance abuse; (2) safety net and basic needs; (3) workforce development; (4) youth development. Top recipients in each area include $75,000 to the Viola Startzman Clinic for coordinated care (both Wayne and Holmes counties); $50,000 to OneEighty for housing supported services (both Wayne and Holmes counties); $40,000 to Goodwill Industries for Career Connections (both Wayne and Holmes counties); and $50,000 to Wee Care for pre-school services (Wayne County). These are but examples of the wide range of services that will be made possible by United Way grants. Others run the gamut from emergency shelter, counseling services, disaster relief, transportation, and children’s mentorship. To make this possible, United Way relied on the generosity of the community. It met its fundraising goal for the first time since 2011. Staff went back to old donors (those who hadn’t given in several years), made over 700 phone calls, sent 800 emails and 160 hand-signed letters. Board members made phone calls, too. There were brand new workplace campaigns instituted, the thermometers came back to the Wooster and Millersburg squares, and a new focus on every staff member having a role in fundraising was implemented. “Re-centering on the mission, our job being to mobilize community resources to help people improve their lives, was central to our success this year,” said Katie Koglman, United Way Executive Director. “We are proud of the community for believing in us and our partners.” 2019 United Way grant awards totaled $808,405.61 and were given to the following organizations: American Red Cross, Anazao, ASPIRE, Boys & Girls Club, Catholic Charities, Community Legal Aid, Goodwill Industries, Holmes Center for the Arts, Learn N’ Play, NAMI, Northwestern Local School District, OHUDDLE, OneEighty, People to People, Planned Parenthood, Salvation Army, The Counseling Center, Viola Startzman Clinic, Wayne County Schools Career Center, Wee Care, Wooster City Schools and YMCA of Wayne County. After hitting goal, United Way of Wayne and Holmes Counties also has discretionary funds available for organizations with potential emergency situations that may occur throughout the year. “The Salvation Army has been in partnership with the United Way since it was established, and I very much appreciate it,” says Major Madeline Dwier. “This year’s grant monies will make possible the shelter, weekday lunches, the after-school program and dinner for the children, and breakfast and lunch for seniors once a month (it covers the scope from basic needs to education).” Sheryl Villegas, Agency Director at Catholic Charities stated, “We are so pleased to have received funding for our home-based services and schoolbased and counseling supportive services. I am pleased for our agency Catholic Charities, but also for the other partner agencies benefiting from

hitting the 100 percent goal of 1.3 million. Whether it be working with OneEighty, Viola Startzman Clinic or Holmes Center for the Arts, we work to give opportunities to people who might not otherwise have opportunities. We provide mental health services, but we are cheerleaders and supporters for everyone in our community.” Participating agencies meet quarterly over lunch to talk about the work being done on the ground. Discussions sometimes reveal possible service overlaps, and also gaps in service. Success is measured, however, in meeting people on many different levels: some people just need direction and guidance, and others need immediate food and shelter. United Way acts as a convener and the agencies are all doing different things, but everyone wants a better community. “I’m grateful for the process,” says Koglman. “It speaks to the commitment of the community meeting needs in a fiscally responsible way.” Another way the system works is through United Way allocation volunteers. Allocation volunteers, which are being recruited (call 330264-5576), are basically caring individuals who are invested financially and physically. They study a lot of agency information to make funding recommendation, which the Board then reviews and acts upon. Board members serve three-year terms, and officers rotate yearly. There is a lot of education involved, Koglman notes. A Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop is hosted by United Way in partnership with Community Action. Bridges out of Poverty is a framework for understanding different socioeconomic status. This workshop explores poverty, middle class, and wealth and the various facets that define them. It helps service providers positively impact the people served. The workshop covers the following objectives: H Explore the concrete experience of living in generational poverty. H Create mental models of poverty, the middle class, and wealth. H Understand the causes of poverty and build resources. H Establish what is needed to build a sustainable community...
and more!
The United Way website will be re-vamped in April, along with the 211 service, which will go back to being WHIRE (Wayne Holmes Information and Referral Exchange). There will be a new online platform made available to help assist individuals and link them with available services that they may need. This will be much more direct and helpful, as the 211 service has currently been getting routed to Cleveland. There is also a Wayne County “streetcard.” This is a double-sided one-sheet guide to resources in the community which can be folded up and put in a purse or pocket. A smaller version is available for Holmes County. United Way also publishes an “Older Adults Services Directory,” available at no charge. Another service that is to about to be available is a Facebook page where agencies can recruit volunteers. United Way will administer the page.
