The first Methodist Church services held in Seville, Ohio took place in the year 1826, conducted by circuit riders from the church near Wellington, which was the first one between Wooster and Lake Erie. The cornerstone of the first church on the site was laid in 1859 and the church tower was built in 1909. The 100th Anniversary of the founding of the church was celebrated in 1926. The above image from The Daily Record on March 8, 1951 shows the re-dedication that took place that year.
Here is what the Seville United Methodist Church looks like today. Church goers have been meeting on this site for nearly 192 years. Today you can also see the Seville Historical Society Museum, which is located next door to the church. Out front you can see the Seville School bell.
Local News March 3, 1951: Jack Rainsberger, the wayward 15-yearold boy with an intelligence quotient of 146, is back in the arms of the law today because he outsmarted himself. Rainsberger, who escaped from the Lancaster, Ohio Boys Industrial School for the second time on Feb. 26, was captured in Canton late yesterday when he tried to cash a forged $622 check. Welfare officials said the youth, who was sent to the reformatory for stealing mail, left a trail of more than 300 pilfered mail boxes in Lancaster, Columbus, Warren and Canton since his escape. His capture resulted when a clerk in a jewelry store became suspicious when the tall youth ran up a bill for $622 in various items and tried to pay for them with the forged check. Rainsberger made out the check in the name of a person whose name he had obtained from a mail box. March 12, 1951: A Canadian zoology professor took a swat at insect intelligence last night with the claim that mosquitoes are so dumb they will try to eat billiard balls. In a stinging summary of two years of research in the Labrador Tundra, he added that the pests also try to eat tables, chairs and clothing dummies. Dr. A.W.A. Brown of the University of Western Ontario also told the American Mosquito Control Association that “skeeters” are conservative and are 100 times more attracted to a man wearing a black shirt than to a man dressed in white. March 12, 1951: There were 205 horses consigned, which were sold together with 18 sets of harness in 3 hours, 48 minutes. The market in Kidron, while not extremely high, was the most active in many years. Emery Swendal of Danville, Ohio sold the top teams reaching $325 on two consecutive teams.

March 16, 1951: Bathed and re-ribboned, one of thousands of Easter bunnies is now ready for whatever the weekend will produce. Perhaps the “egg stuff” will be left to his feminine friends. The bunny was noncommittal when quizzed on the theory. Easter eggs are not entirely “Mama’s” field. Stage and film influence can be seen in his name. It is Peter Harvey, with no apologies to the huge fellow of entertainment fame. Peter is owned by Jean Earl whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Vernie Schultz of 119 E. North St., Wooster. An albino rabbit, Peter is a “good pet” according to his young mistress. March 21, 1951: During the calendar year of 1950, the new Wooster Community Hospital took in $265,575.42 and disbursed $277,191.21, showing a cash operating loss of only $11,615.79. Complete details of the hospital’s first 10 months of operation were made public today by Sterling Wolfe, hospital manager. Disbursements included all amounts incident to the hospital’s operation in 1950. The hospital was opened a year ago today. The hospital admitted 3,051 adult patients during the nine and a half month period of operation and 738 babies were born during that period. Keith Russell Richeson, son of Mr. and Mrs Ralph Richeson of Apple Creek Road, was the first baby born in the hospital, thus being one year old now. March 31, 1951: Eric Joseph smiled happily in the U.S. Marine hospital after giving his right eye to blinded Phillip Pron. The two met for the first time a month before when Joseph, an ex-welterweight fighter whose right eye was injured in a bout in Canada in 1945, was given a bed next to Pron’s. Joseph had been injured aboard a ship in New York harbor. Pron was hospitalized last May after being blinded when struck by a ship’s icebox door. Joseph had refused to have his eye removed until he and Pron became hospital friends.

Joke Corner One Letter Makes A Big Difference An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unfortunately, when typing her address, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen: Dearest Wife, Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow. P.S. Sure is hot down here.

BOOKING PASSAGE ON "The AFRICAN QUEEN" Article by RANDY WILSON NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
I
t was 67 years ago this month that the film “The African Queen” was released in theatres. The Humphrey Bogart-Katharine Hepburn starrer was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning one for Bogart for Best Actor. Can you recall the nickname Bogart gave Hepburn in the film? Find out at the end of this story. If you’re not familiar with the plot, it’s September 1914, news reaches the colony German Eastern Africa that Germany is at war, so Reverend Samuel Sayer (Robert Morley) became a hostile foreigner. German imperial troops burn down his mission; he is beaten and dies of fever. His well-educated, snobbish sister Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn) buries him and leaves by the only available transport, the dilapidated river steamboat 'African Queen' of grumpy Charlie Allnut Randy Wilson (R) and Captain (Humphrey Bogart). As Jim Hendricks (L), who has cared for the 30-foot, steam if a long difficult journey powered workboat since he without any comfort purchased it from a film buff weren't bad enough for in 1982. Captain Hendricks also owns the fishing boats such odd companions, she is determined to find a from “On Golden Pond.”

way to do their bit for the British war effort (and avenge her brother). She aims high, as God is obviously on their side, constructing their own equipment, a torpedo and the converted steamboat, to take out a huge German warship, the Louisa, which is hard to find on the giant lake. It is as daunting an expedition as anyone has attempted since the late adventurous explorer John Speakes, but she presses till Charlie accepts. They steam up the Ulana, about to brave a German fort, raging rapids, very bloodthirsty parasites and the endlessly branching stream which seems to go nowhere but impenetrable swamps... Despite fierce rows and moral antagonism between a bossy devout abstentionist and a free-spirited libertine drunk loner, the two grow closer to each-other as their quest drags on... Now, join me as we book passage on a voyage of the ‘African Queen’ through deepest, darkest Cleveland. It was hot as we made our way down river. Bogie and Kate had their mission. I had mine. The 100 plus year old ‘African Queen’ was being pressed into service again. This time she wasn’t steaming down the Ulgana River to Lake Victoria, but slipping down the Cuyahoga toward Lake Erie. At the helm was Captain Jim Hendricks, who has cared for the 30-foot, steam powered workboat since he purchased it from a film buff in 1982. Hendricks, who also owns the fishing boats from “On Golden Pond,” normally docks the ‘African Queen’ in Key Largo, Florida, where the retired attorney uses it for charters and sightseeing excursions. The boat is exactly as it looks in the 1951 film—crusty,
weathered, and appearing barely seaworthy. The first thought I had, gazing at a piece of film history, was: “Do I really want to get on it?” After all, there’s this old, largely wooden, boat with a fire in the middle of it. But my fears were unfounded. Hendricks fired up the charcoal-fed Kingdon Patent vertical boiler, the 1880 Sisson marine steam engine chugged to life as his assistant worked the tiller to move the old girl away from the dock. Not exactly Charlie Allnutt and Rose Sayer, but then we weren’t looking to sink any German gunboats, either. The closest we got to that was a close encounter with the Goodtime III. If you remember the film and Humphrey Bogart’s movie mastery of the Queen’s every need, then you get a fair approximation of Hendricks’ knowledge and skill with the craft in real life. Despite the chugging pistons, the ride was incredibly smooth. Hendricks never got a chance to meet Bogart, who died in 1957, but he and Katharine Hepburn corresponded regularly (Hepburn died in 2003). She even refers to him as her “pen pal” in her book “The Making of the African Queen or How I Went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind.” Just like in the movie, though, the trip on the ‘African Queen’ isn’t always a smooth one between Hepburn and the skipper. At one point, Hendicks said, Hepburn advised him to “get a lawyer.” To which he replied that he was a lawyer. Her response, in typical Hepburn fashion was that maybe he should, “see another lawyer.” The charcoal-fed Kingdon As in the movie, that Patent vertical boiler powered Randy Wilson's voyage on the tiff blew over, and the ‘African Queen.' His interview two remained friends. with Captain Hendricks took “She gave me hell place when the boat was in every now and then,” Cleveland for a boat show he said chuckling. several years ago.
The 100 plus year old ‘African Queen’ pressed into service again - this time, not steaming down the Ulgana River to Lake Victoria, but slipping down the Cuyahoga toward Lake Erie.
“You know how Rosie is.” That’s something Charlie Allnut might have said. Charlie called Rose “Miss” at first, while she called him “Mr. Allnut”. After they became more familiar with each other, he started calling her “Rosie” and “Old Girl”, and she called him “Dear” and “Charlie”. Offscreen, Bogart called Hepburn “Katie”. As we cruised back to the dock, it was like we’d turned back time. The only thing missing was the leeches. My memorable voyage on the ‘African Queen’ and interview with Captain Hendricks took place when the boat was in Cleveland for a boat show several years ago. Was “The African Queen” actually filmed in Africa? For the most part, the movie was shot in Uganda and the Congo in central Africa, using a mockup of the ‘African Queen’ built on a raft. However, the scenes where Charlie and Rose are seen in the water were all shot in studio tanks at Isleworth Studios, Middlesex, England because of health and safety concerns. But, yes, Bogie and Hepburn did actually ride in the iconic boat we all love…the real queen of the movie!

Tips For Your Spring To Do List Article by MELINDA HILL
I
LOCAL COLUMNIST
t’s about this time of year that I get spring fever. The few warm days have tempted me to look at cleaning out the flower beds, sorting out items inside and challenged me to begin a list of additional tasks that need to be addressed after a long winter. Time management is a topic that will forever be discussed in different medias and while each of us have our own work styles, there might be some motivation that we can gain from reading how others accomplish tasks. What’s a good way to get things done? Well I’m certainly not the expert, but here are some tips that help me get focused so that I can cross some things off of my “to do” list. See if any of these might be helpful to you? Make a list of projects or series of projects that you would like to accomplish. I know the drawers in the kitchen and the bathroom need a good cleaning, so doing one drawer a week is a manageable task on my list. The painting project will need to wait till I have two or three days at home in a row to clean things out, get ready for, paint and clean up. A calendar works well for me to space out these projects with both time and money. Identifying the budget to go along with the task helps to space it out by paychecks and keeps the project moving over a several month span. Write down projects that can be accomplished in short time spans and put them on a list or on paper and in a basket or bowl. Every week, pull one out and put it into action. Work with your family to make it an activity that you can all work on together and enjoy the time and energy accomplishing it. Things that need done on a regular basis, laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc. can also be done with a calendar.
8 • Now & Then
Sometimes laundry and dishes are a daily task while cleaning can wait till the weekends. Ideally, letting children help with these tasks is a great teaching tool and delegation can help you get more accomplished in the time you have available. Remember, not to redo what the children have done, or they will quickly get the idea that “why should I do it, because you will only redo it.” A job chart or jar (with chores on slips of paper) in it, are helpful to remind children that they are part of a family and we need to work to get things done together. When you get a routine down, tasks are done quickly and then there’s time for other fun things or outside obligations. Can the larger tasks be broken down into smaller, more manageable tasks that can be motivators? Remember that we get 80 percent of our productivity done in 20 percent of our time. Keep things moving and feel accomplished by checking things off of your list. Don’t procrastinate. Get the things you like to do the least, done first. Don’t expect perfectionism and become organized so that everyone knows where to put things so that they can be found when they are needed. Life is full of “to do’s” and sometimes I just need a little help to get started. Think about what you need to be motivated and implement a practice to get started. Time management is a life skill that only improves with practice. Think spring, and start your list. You’ll be glad to have many items crossed off by the time warmer weather gets here!

Effective Ways to Alleviate Stress
S
tress affects everyone at some point in their lives and does not discriminate based on gender, nationality, ethnicity, economic status, or age. The American Institute of Stress says job-related stress costs businesses millions of dollars each year due to unanticipated absences. In fact, work is the foremost source of stress for many adults. Although not all stress is bad and stress responses can motivate people to perform more effectively, repeated stress is a problem. The National Institute of Mental Health says routine stress that becomes chronic can suppress immune system functions, disrupt digestion, adversely affect sleep, and cause abnormal changes in reproductive systems. People who have chronic stress are often prone to frequent and severe viral infections, like colds and the flu. Repetitive stress may be the most difficult to recognize because it often becomes a part of daily life. Managing stress and anxiety involves finding techniques that work for each individual. While not every approach works for everyone, the following are five effective means to managing stress.
10 • Now & Then
1. Exercise The American Psychological Association says research continues to confirm the benefits of exercise in regard to combatting stress. Regular exercise has long-term benefits, but even a 20-minute exercise session during a stressful time can produce an immediate effect that lasts a few hours.
2. Deep Breathing
Mindful breathing can be effective and only takes 10 minutes. Men and women battling stress can sit in a comfortable position with their eyes closed and imagine themselves in a relaxing place while slowly breathing in and out.
3. Take a Break Removing oneself from a stressful situation for a little while can be helpful. A brief break of 15 to 20 minutes can provide a sense of calm.
4. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Harvard Medical School defines cognitivebehavioral therapy, or CBT, as a process of changing unhealthy thinking in order to change emotions. Therapists will identify negative thinking patterns and help patients learn to automatically replace them with healthy or positive thoughts.
5. Support Network
Simply having someone to talk to can help tame stress. People should surround themselves with others they trust who are good listeners. These can be friends, family members or professional therapists. Talking oneself through stressful situations can provide relief.
Celebra�ng 40 Years 1977 - 2017
Stress is a growing problem that can adversely affect our health in various ways. Relieving stress involves identifying the stressor and taking a proactive approach before symptoms of stress get worse.

If You Retire Early, Life Can Be A
Article by ANDREA COOMBES

ho doesn’t like the idea of retiring early? Financial independence means the freedom to do what you want, when you want. Even if you love your job and plan to Who doesn’t like the idea of retiring early? Financial independence means the freedom to do what you want, when you want. Even if you love your job and plan to work through your 70s and beyond, the financial insights offered by early retirees can be helpful. Meet Billy and Akaisha Kaderli. They retired 27 years ago, when they were both 38. At the time, they were living busy lives in Santa Cruz, California. He was an investment manager while she managed the restaurant they owned. They were successful, financially secure ” and they hardly saw each other. When he was 36, Billy started researching the idea of early retirement and, eventually, Akaisha agreed to give it a try. They reduced Billy and Akaisha Kaderli their spending, and started on the beach in Mexico - carefully tracking where Photo courtesy of Billy and their money was going. Two Akaisha Kaderli
14 • Now & Then
years later, the Kaderlis, who don’t have children, sold just about everything and hit the road. They’ve been traveling the world ever since, generally staying a few months at a time in countries such as Mexico, Thailand, Laos and Guatemala. Their experience with early retirement may help you figure out how and when to retire. We talked with them via Skype from their current home base of Chalapa, Mexico. Our Q&A has been edited for clarity. How much had you saved when you quit working? Billy: About $500,000. How are your finances doing now? Billy: We have more money in our account after spending and inflation than we did when we started. What’s your advice for people who want to retire early? Billy: My first response is to track their spending to see what they are spending today. If you don’t know what you’re spending today, you won’t know what you’re spending tomorrow. We track it by day, month and year. We have a spreadsheet that allows you to see what percentage of your net worth you’re spending on a daily basis. That lets us monitor that to make sure we’re well within our range. So my No. 1 suggestion for ‘how did we retire early’ is we tracked our spending for a couple of years before we actually retired, and we saved like the dickens.
Can anyone do what you do? Akaisha: First, anybody can track their spending. They can add, subtract and divide. That’s easy. The second point is, there are four categories of the highest spending in any household. If you modify any or all of those categories, you are in control of your finances. Those four categories are housing, transportation, taxes, food and entertainment. Say for instance you pare down [your house] or you house-sit or find a smaller apartment. That saves you a lot of money. With transportation, we went car-free a decade ago. Even in the states, with Uber, friends and taxis, all of that’s a lot cheaper than owning a car. Regarding taxes, we don’t have our income in retirement [subject to income taxes]. We have it in capital gains, so that’s a different tax bracket. And then food and entertainment: You want to go out to eat, buy fine wines, have big parties, but you can eat well going out to lunch instead of dinner, cooking yourself for friends. If you make any changes in any of those categories, you save a huge amount. This article originally appeared on NerdWallet.

It kind of becomes a game. The first few weeks and months, [the spending] bounces all over the place, but as you add more data the numbers stabilize. Then you say, ‘I’m going to go see if I can spend less today than I did yesterday.’ How much do you spend each year? Akaisha:We spend $30,000 or less on average.That includes everything: health care, gifts for the family, trips back home. One beauty of our lifestyle: We can wait out the deals. We don’t have to fly at Christmas or when school is out. How are you invested? Billy: Between cash and equities, we’re about 50/50 right at the moment. I’m willing to take our portfolio up to 70% [in equities]. As long as we have a couple of years of living expenses in cash, I feel like we’re good. We own zero bonds. I can’t really recommend those at this point [due to the prospect of rising rates]. On the day we retired in January 1991, the S&P 500 closed on that day at 312.49. We’ve been in index funds since then. It’s been very rewarding for us. That’s an 8.27% return per year. Are you saving enough for retirement? Plug three numbers into our retirement calculator to find out. Has the 4% withdrawal rule worked for you? Billy: I like to say it’s a 4% guide, and not a rule. One year, we maybe went over 4%. We are well, well below 4% now that we’re taking Social Security. I think it’s important to not set any rule in stone. Given the [recent volatility] in the markets, some people might want to adjust spending if this continues for a while. Flexibility, I think, is very important. What retirement tips would you offer to others? Akaisha: Have a list of what to do on day one. A lot of people are running away from a job. They’re not focused on what they’re walking towards. Make a list of all the things you want to learn, want to do, want to see. We had a huge list. I wanted to do watercolor, we definitely wanted to travel, read books, learn a language, dive in the Caribbean. That motivates you. Billy: We got started in ’93 traveling to foreign countries. Every day is an adventure. We like that. That keeps us going. The important thing is for this young generation to get started now and take advantage of the power of compounding. The earlier they get started, the higher their assets will be when they get ready to retire. If my parents had invested $1,000 for me when I was born in 1952, it would be worth like $945,000 ” something like that. That’s the power of compounding. That’s without adding another cent to it.

3⁄4 cup self-rising flour 1⁄4 teaspoon powdered mustard 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt Several grinds of black pepper 1 tablespoon snipped chives or 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1 extra-large egg, beaten Butter for frying
1. Mix the mashed potatoes with the flour, mustard, salt, pepper, and herbs. Do this with a wooden spoon, not a food processor (otherwise, you’ll get a gluey mess). 2. Work in the beaten egg to make a firm dough. If it is very soft and sticky, work in a little more flour. 3. Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface, flour your hands, then knead the dough once or twice to make a smooth ball. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a small cake, about 21⁄2 inches across. 4. When ready to cook, heat a little butter in a large heavy skillet, preferably nonstick, and cook the breads over medium heat for about 7 minutes on each side, until they turn good golden brown and are slightly puffed. Serve immediately.
Recipes While the dinner table might be where families catch up and share stories of their day, breaking bread at breakfast time can be just as enjoyable. So gather around the table and break out the waffle iron!
Orange Whole-Wheat Waffles with Yogurt and Fresh Berries
Ingredients: 21⁄4 cups white whole-wheat flour 3 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 11⁄4 cups whole milk 1⁄2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 2 eggs, separated 5 teaspoons packed, grated orange zest 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
3.
4. 5.
Yogurt topping 1 cup Greek-style yogurt (see note) 4 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon grated orange zest, packed Fresh raspberries, strawberries or blueberries, for garnish
Directions:
1. For the Orange Whole-Wheat Waffles: Preheat a waffle iron (and, if you plan to hold the waffles until serving time, preheat the oven to 200 F). 2. In a large serving bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, orange juice, egg yolks,
6.
Serves: 4-6
and orange zest. In a third bowl, beat the egg whites until firm, but not stiff. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture, blending gently only until the ingredients are combined. Add the butter in a slow stream, continuing to blend until the butter is incorporated. Gently fold in the egg whites. For the yogurt topping: In a small serving bowl, whisk together the yogurt, honey and orange zest. Pour 1⁄2 cup of the batter (or more, depending on the size of your waffle iron) onto the waffle iron and, using a metal spatula or table knife, spread the batter to within 1⁄2 inch of the edge. Close the cover and cook approximately 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. (If your waffles aren’t crisp, even after a “ready” signal has sounded, continue to cook them, watching carefully, until crisp and golden. If not serving immediately, place the waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish with the remaining batter.) Serve the waffles topped with a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture and garnish with some berries.
Note: Nonfat, as well as reduced- to whole-fat varieties of Greek yogurt work in this recipe.

S
pring cleaning is a ritual that many people participate in as the last vestiges of winter disappear. Spring cleaning is a time to open windows, deep clean rooms and closets and take down and launder window treatments and linens. Others use spring cleaning as a time to sort and donate or discard clutter that might have accumulated over the winter. Even though spring cleaning seems like a modern invention, the act of spring cleaning is believed to have originated centuries ago. Some say that the ancient Chinese cleaned in preparation for their New Year as they hoped to wipe away any bad luck and misfortune from the previous year. Similarly, the ancient Hebrew practice of thoroughly cleansing a home before the springtime feast of
Passover may have evolved into the spring cleaning we know today. Another possible connection is the tradition of “shaking the house clean� in Iran. Iranians celebrate Now Rouz (Persian New Year) with many different rituals, one of which involves buying new clothes and cleaning every corner of the family home to signify renewal.
