Looking Back

Back in 1910, Happer's Manhattan Restaurant served many travelers as they were passing through town. The restaurant sat right next to the Orrville railroad depot, part of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1868.
This historic building is now part of the Orrville Historical Museum. Orrville's Trailhead for the first mile of the Heartland Trail towpath was dedicated next to the building in 2016.
Local News January 19, 1940: Wooster road was given a twolane bituminous surface treatment for five and one half miles. There was road oil applied to 31 miles on the traffic bound sides of narrow pavements. Fredericksburg Teachers were on the lookout for cases of frostbite among pupils who walked the greatest distances. January 24, 1940: Two hundred and three rabbits were caught in one trap at the Apple Creek Institution farm yesterday and were taken in lots to 30 farms in nine townships of the county where they were released under the direction of Game Manager Joe Masters. More than 100 persons joined in the hunt, driving the rabbits from cover in 50 acres of thicket and high grass on the Institution farm into a trap made from fence wire. The rabbits had concentrated on this 50-acre section from adjoining territory of several thousand acres...The rabbits taken were released in Wayne, Canaan, Baughman, Chippewa, Milton, Green, Congress, Chester and Wooster townships. The rabbits weighed 604 pounds, or practically three pounds each.
2 • Now & Then
Quite a number of women participated in the hunt and movies were taken of the event. February 18, 1940: The Sweet Clover Sanitary, one of the participants in the Daily Record cooking school, which closed yesterday, reports having sold 2,100 glass refrigerator jars of cottage cheese during the week. This product was advertised at the cooking school. March 8, 1940: If some storm suddenly interrupted Wooster's telephone and telegraph service and traffic out of the city was cut off over the railways and highways, the news would soon be flashed far and wide by two "ham" or amateur radio operators. Edgar Hayden, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Hayden, 438 North Buckeye street and William Coffey, son of George N. Coffey, 352 North Bever Street. Hayden's radio outfit can be used for broadcasting and receiving and is located in a special room, which his parents have given over for this purpose. Coffey has a similar outfit at his home. Residents going up Bever Street often stop and look at the strange contraption of pipes and wires on the roof of the Coffey home.

Fresh Starts for the New Year Article by RANDY WILSON NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
E
ach new year comes with tantalizing scope for selfreinvention. The turn of the calendar presents an illusory milestone that lures many of us into hoping we can somehow force a stepchange in our character or situation that will bring us closer to being the person we really want to be. Yet, however big or small the resolutions we make for ourselves, the change is fraught with the pitfalls of simply relaxing back into the person it’s always been easy to be – with the same shortcomings and neuroses. In films, turning over a new leaf comes so much easier. All the same pitfalls and setbacks are there, of course, but the arc of a satisfying story depends on forward movement and the sense that the characters are ending in a different place from where they began. Hopes can and will be fulfilled. It’s a new year, why not a fresh start! All of these films focus on new beginnings and starting over. “Starting Over” (1979) Burt Reynolds is an attractive middle-aged man who suffers a crisis of confidence when ditched by his ambitious singer wife (Candice Bergen), until he begins to forge a new relationship with an equally insecure teacher (Jill Clayburgh). But when the wife attempts reconciliation - seduction followed by a truly excruciating song she has composed for him - he realizes where his loyalty lies.
4 • Now & Then
“As Good As It Gets” (1997) Melvin Udall (Jack Nicholson) is an obsessive-compulsive writer of romantic fiction who’s rude to everyone he meets, including his gay neighbor Simon (Greg Kinnear), but when he has to look after Simon’s dog, he begins to soften and, if still not completely over his problems, finds he can conduct a relationship with the only waitress (Helen Hunt) at the local diner who’ll serve him. “When Harry Met Sally” (1989) Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) meet when she gives him a ride to New York after they both graduate from the University of Chicago. The film jumps through their lives as they both search for love, but fail, bumping into each other time and time again. Finally a close friendship blooms between them, and they both like having a friend of the opposite sex. But then they are confronted with the problem: "Can a man and a woman be friends, without sex getting in the way?" “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” (1974) Despite admitting that she was scared of him in her never-ending quest to please him, thirty-five year old housewife and mother Alice Hyatt (Ellen Burstyn) is devastated when her husband Donald is killed in an on the job traffic accident. With few job skills except that as a singer, Alice, along with her precocious eleven year old son Tommy, decides to move from their current home in Socorro, New Mexico to her home town of Monterrey, California, the only place she has ever felt happy. She plans on getting singing gigs along the way to earn money to get
back to Monterrey by the end of the summer and the start of Tommy's school year. Alice's quest for a job at each stop leaves Tommy often to fend for himself, which may make Tommy even more precocious. His behavior is fostered by Alice, as their relationship is often more as trouble-making friends than mother and son. Alice's plans often do not end up as she envisions, especially as she is forced to take a waitressing job at Mel and Ruby's Diner in Tucson, Arizona. “Erin Brockovich” (2000) Julia Roberts is the ultimate underdog as an unemployed single mom with three kids who, despite a formal law education, parlays her passion for justice into a career in environmental activism. Watch her take down a major corporation in stilettos, proving that yes, you can fight city hall. “Hope Floats” (1998) Nothing says “starting over” like returning to your home town divorced and broke and having to face all your high school rivals. Sandra Bullock does it in style as Birdie Pruitt, a faded prom queen picking up the pieces after her husband dumps her on national TV. “Heaven Can Wait” Joe Pendleton (Warren Beatty) is a football quarterback preparing to lead his team to the Superbowl when he is almost killed in an accident. An overanxious angel plucks him to heaven only to discover that he was not ready to die, and that his body has been cremated. Another body must be found without his death being discovered, and that of a recently murdered millionaire is chosen. His wife and accountant, the murderers, are confused by this development, as he buys the Los Angeles Rams in order to once again quarterback them into the Superbowl. At the same time, he falls in love with an English environmental activist who disapproves of his policies and actions. You might also enjoy a previous version of this movie (1943) with Gene Tierney and Don Ameche or the original story in “Here Comes Mr. Jordan” (1941) with Robert Montgomery and Claude Rains. “Pocketful of Miracles” (1961) Boozy, brassy Apple Annie (Bette Davis), a beggar with a basket of apples, is as much as part of downtown New York as old Broadway itself. Bootlegger Dave the Dude (Glenn Ford) is a sucker for her apples --- he thinks they bring him luck. But Dave and girlfriend Queenie Martin (Hope Lange) need a lot more than luck when it turns out that Annie is in a jam and only they can help: Annie's daughter Louise (Ann Margret), who has lived all her life in a Spanish convent, is coming to America with a Count and his son. The count's son wants to marry Louise, who thinks her
mother is part of New York society. It's up to Dave and Queenie and their Runyonesque cronies to turn Annie into a lady and convince the Count and his son that they are hobnobbing with New York's elite. “My Fair Lady” (1964) Pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) is so sure of his abilities that he takes it upon himself to transform a Cockney working-class girl into someone who can pass for a cultured member of high society. His subject turns out to be the lovely Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), who agrees to speech lessons to improve her job prospects. Higgins and Eliza clash, then form an unlikely bond -one that is threatened by an aristocratic suitor. Whether it’s divorce, mental illness, loss or expulsion, the characters in all of these movies are facing obstacles that will make you believe it’s possible to overcome anything.

Snowy Owl Migration Gives Scientists Chance To Study Them
In this Dec. 14, 2017 photo, a snowy owl flies away after being released along the shore of Duxbury Beach in Duxbury, Mass. (AP Photo/ Charles Krupa)
Article by TAMMY WEBBER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
he large white raptors have descended on the Great Lakes region and northeastern U.S. in huge numbers in recent weeks. Scott Judd trained his camera lens on the white dot in the distance. As he moved up the Lake Michigan shoreline, the speck on a breakwater came into view and took his breath away: it was a snowy owl, thousands of miles from its Arctic home. “It was an amazing sight,” said Judd, a Chicago IT consultant. “It’s almost like they’re from another world. They captivate people in a way that other birds don’t.” The large white raptors have descended on the Great Lakes region and northeastern U.S. in huge numbers in recent weeks, hanging out at airports, in farm fields, on light poles and along beaches, to the delight of bird lovers.
But for researchers, this winter’s mass migration of the owls from their breeding grounds above the Arctic Circle is serious business. It’s a chance to trap and fit some of the visitors with tiny transmitters to help track them around the globe and study a longmisunderstood species whose numbers likely are far fewer than previously thought, researchers say. “There is still a lot that we don’t know about them ... but we aim to answer the questions in the next few years,” said Canadian biologist Jean-Francois Therrien, a senior researcher at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania. The solar-powered transmitters can last for years, collecting information such as latitude, longitude, flight speed and air temperature that is downloaded to a server when the birds fly
into range of a cell tower. The use of transmitters, which intensified during the last North American mass migration in winter 2013-14, already has yielded big surprises. Instead of 300,000 snowy owls worldwide, as long believed, researchers say the population likely is closer to 30,000 or fewer. The previous estimate was based on how many might be able to breed in a given area. That calculation was made assuming snowy owls acted like other birds, favoring fixed nesting and wintering sites. But researchers discovered the owls are nomads, often nesting or wintering thousands of miles from previous locations. The miscalculation doesn’t necessarily mean snowy owls, which can grow to about 2 feet long with 5-foot wingspans, are in decline. Scientists simply don’t know because they
never had an accurate starting point. This month, snowy owls were listed as vulnerable — one step away from endangered — by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They’re protected in the U.S. under the Migratory Bird Act. This year’s mass migration is a bit of good news. Researchers once thought these so-called “irruptions” signaled a lack of prey in the Arctic, but now believe the opposite: Breeding owls feed on lemmings, a rodent that lives under Arctic snowpack and whose population surges about every three or four years. More lemmings means the owl population explodes— and that more birds than usual will winter in places people can see them. But researchers worry that climate change will affect the owl population Story continued on Page 15

NTINUOUS BARBE O C RSH ST E D OP IN OHIO CLOSES L O Article by EMILY MORGAN THE DAILY RECORD STAFF WRITER

he razor buzzed one last time in Ron’s Barber Shop last month, as the longestrunning barbershop shuttered its doors at the end of the year. The Orrville barbershop opened in 1870 and stands as the oldest continuous barbershop in Ohio. Current owner Judy Laurene will give the final haircut to Ron Contini, who owned the business for 43 years. Laurene worked for him for 33 years before he sold her the shop in 2012. “You cut people’s hair for 30-35 years, you become friends,” Laurene said. “I put kids in the chair for their first haircut then I would end up giving their kids their first haircut years later.” Laurene tried to donate the building to the historical society, but the shop was built on nothing more than railroad ties and would collapse if moved. The seven-anda-half foot barber’s pole that stood out front will go to the Orrville Historical Society. Jerry Demlow, the owner of Jerry’s Cafe next door, purchased the property to expand his restaurant. “There’s a lot of history here,” said Contini, who recounted the famous stops by presidential candidate William McKinley, advertising director Joe Sedelmaier and former American ambassador and Ohio Gov. Myron T. Herrick, who was also a friend of Charles Lindbergh. Contini and Laurene would work 12-hour days to serve their loyal customers and would open at 6 a.m. if someone needed a quick buzz before catching an early morning flight. The barbers remembered one customer who walked into the busy shop at 8 a.m. hoping to get a cut before his 11 a.m. wedding. “We used to talk sports a lot on Saturday mornings after the Friday night football games,” Contini said. “We’d talk about what we could have done better, which, of course, we couldn’t have.”

Laurene will continue cutting hair two days a week at Hy Street Barber Shop. She hoped to stay in Ron’s longer but couldn’t find another barber to take on more of her hours. “It’s kind of a new beginning, semi-retirement,” she said. “I’m sad I couldn’t stay but I’m excited to go only to two days a week. My grandkids are also excited to spend the night at grandma’s more often.” Reporter Emily Morgan can be reached at 330-287-1632 or emorgan@the-daily-record.com.

because lemmings are exceptionally sensitive to even small temperature changes. L e m m i n g s “depend on deep, fluffy, thick layers of insulating snow” to breed successfully, said Scott Weidensaul, director at Project SNOWstorm, owl-tracking In this Dec. 14, 2017 photo, an whose Norman Smith, director of Mass group Audubon's Blue Hills Trailside volunteers have Museum, releases a snowy owl put transmitters on along the shore of Duxbury Beach in Duxbury, Mass. The owl is more than 50 snowy one of the 14 trapped so far this owls in the past four winter at the airport and moved years . to a beach on Cape Cod Bay. (AP The snowy Photo/Charles Krupa) owl population collapsed in Norway and Sweden in the mid-1990s, all but vanishing there for almost two decades before reappearing at lower numbers, experts said. In Greenland, where the population collapsed in the late 1990s, researchers found a few nests in 2011 and 2012 after six years with no recorded nests, but owls didn’t come back in 2016 or 2017, when lemmings should have been peaking. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported this month that the far northern Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe.
But it’s tough to assess lemming population trends in remote areas. Although researchers hope to enlist native villagers to help, it’s mostly up to owls with transmitters for now. Snowy owls somehow seem to find lemmings even if they are thousands of miles from where their population last peaked, Therrien said. “They look around the Arctic,” he said. “The movement is amazing to watch on a map: There are no straight lines. They’re zigzagging.” Norman Smith, a biologist with the Audubon Society in Massachusetts, said he’s heartened that many independent researchers worldwide joined forces to share information on snowy owls.

“It’s amazing what we’ve learned, but we need a bigger database of birds,” said Smith, who has been trapping owls at Boston’s Logan International Airport for more than 35 years and fits them with a leg band or transmitter before letting them go. He put a satellite tracker on an owl for the first time in 2000, proving that they could make it back to the Arctic. Last month, Smith released a young female on a barrier beach along the Atlantic Ocean. It flew south, then circled back and flew overhead. As he drove over a bridge to the mainland, the owl was sitting on a post, surveying its new winter home.

Did You Know?
The depletion of the ozone layer was once a hot topic, but this issue has largely fallen by the wayside in recent years. Even though the ozone layer might no longer be discussed on a daily basis, there is still widespread concern that it is deteriorating rapidly. To understand the implications, one must first know the purpose of the ozone layer. According to National Geographic, the ozone layer is a belt of gas that sits between 9.3 and 18.6 miles above the Earth. Its purpose is to shield the planet from harmful ultraviolet B radiation that is emitted by the sun. Due to the release of pollution containing the chemicals chlorine and bromine, as well as chlorofluorocarbons found in spray aerosols, the ozone layer is thinning and deteriorating in certain areas. This allows UVB radiation to reach the Earth, contributing to higher rates of skin cancer and cataracts in humans. Exposure to UVB rays also may impact ecosystems. It is believed UVB radiation inhibits the production of phytoplankton that make up an important food source for marine animals. The good news is that measurements from satellites this year showed the hole in the Earth’s ozone layer that forms over Antarctica each September was the smallest observed since 1988, according to scientists from NASA and NOAA. Reduction in environmental pollutants may be behind that development. However, scientists note warmer stratospheric temperatures also constrained the growth of the ozone hole.
