Wooster City Hall
1887 Wooster City Hall
This is the old 1887 Wooster City Hall once located on E. Liberty. The big bell on the front lawn of the present day Wayne County Historical Society once hung in this building's bell tower. Built in 1887 and razed in 1962 Wooster's old City Hall was one of a kind. Jail cells were in the basement and a few city offices at the front on the main floor, along with an auditorium and stage, many remember as the City Opera House. On the second floor was a balcony and city council rooms. At the rear
of the big brick building was the city's fire station. Practically every event that went on at the old City Hall drew a crowd, whether it was a concert, a play, a speech, or a City Council meeting. The stage on the main floor of the building provided a place for entertainment that featured both local talent and many famous people of their time, including William Jennings Bryant and John Philip Sousa. The old Wooster City Hall was a real community center in its day.
In the News, Back in Time The Wayne County Democrat, June 1, 1887
The Soldier Dead How Their Memory Was Honored
Memorial Day in Wooster last Monday The Parade Addresses—Decorating the Graves, and Other Interesting Exercises “Let the dead past boast her glories! Change through all man’s nature move; Peace, be jeweled, scorns the triumphs Their war is sterner triumph loves! Wealth and luxury and fashion Now our feebler pulses sway, Gratitude is conquering heroes Throbs in few men’s hearts to-day.” So wrote one, who, if present in Wooster last Monday, would surely have changed the sentiment of the concluding line to— “Rest, comrades, rest and sleep! The thoughts of men shall be As sentinels to keep Your rest from danger free Your silent tents of green We deck with fragrant flowers Yours has the suffering been The memory shall be ours.” Our people are ever proud of the “Boys in Blue” who gave service to our common country in the darkest days of its history, when civil war convulsed the nation. They are grateful to those who fought for the union and stood between them and stemmed the tide of strife from devastating our peaceful hills and valleys here at our northern homes, for had it not been for the Union Soldier Wayne County doubtless would have been laid to waste, property destroyed and the people subjected to the horrors of war so bitterly experienced at the South. Some few in their pride of comforts, and luxury, which was preserved to them by soldiers, may perhaps forget this first and have no gratitude for those who fronted the fore in their behalf, but the people remember with patriotic recollection the deeds of fathers and husbands, sons and brothers, neighbors and friends, who stood like a wall between their homes and the invaders.
2 | Now & Then
Therefore, on each recurring annual Memorial Day they testify their loyalty and gratitude by doing honor to the dead soldiers in decorating their graves with flowers and keeping their memory green in the minds of rising generations.
The Wayne County Democrat, June 8, 1887
Ex-Governor Anderson’s View of Natural Gas Ex-Governor Anderson, of Ohio, has written a characteristic and therefore remarkable letter about natural gas. The following is a passage: “Ohio’s corps of geological engineers had hardly settled themselves, and almost everyone else, into the conviction that these products must be found in the ‘Bera sandstone’ and in its adjacent porous strata and could not be found in the ‘Trenton’ or any other limestone of lower formations, when, lo, the foolhardy boring of an old doctor at Findlay, in Hancock County, Ohio, far away, too, from any coal field, brought up the grass and to the air, in a swift up-stream and with roaring noises, one of the best and biggest ‘gushers’ of this age of gushers, and exactly, too, from that very low-down ‘Trenton limestone.’ That Ohio corps was one of the ablest ever organized in our nation. That demonstration of the impossible, it must be admitted, looks quite satisfactory if not unanswerable. But the earth itself actually does answer right against the demonstration. Geology as a science, then, and even in the hands of the best experts, is a very blind guide for practical ends, even at this late date, that we owe to these recent Ohio and Indiana discoveries a debt for mush added and trustworthy knowledge.”

An actor had been out of work for 15 years because he always forgot his lines. Then one day he got a phone call from a director who wanted him for a big part in a play. All he had to say was “Hark! I hear the cannon roar! After much worry the actor decided to take the role. Opening night arrived, and while he waited in the wings, the actor muttered to himself “Hark! I hear the cannon roar! Hark! I hear the cannon roar! The time for the entrance finally came and as the actor made his appearance, he heard a loud brooooom! He turned around and said, “what the hell was that?” -Robert De Nero

A Tribute to
Movie Dads
Fathers have been important figures in the movies for many, many years and Hollywood has shown us all kinds of father/son and father/daughter relationships throughout those years. Here’s a look at some of my personal favorite movie dads most of which are available on DVD. by Randy Wilson Now & TheN Contributor
On Golden Pond with Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Jane Fonda, Dabney Coleman and Doug McKeon is the story of Norman Thayer (Fonda) an 80-year-old retired teacher preoccupied with death, whose birthday celebration only triggers his fear of old age and dying. Hepburn is Ethel, Norman’s devoted wife, who dutifully contends with her husband’s cantankerous moods and encompassing anxiety. Jane, in her only film appearance with her father, plays the couples alienated daughter vying for her father’s affection. The film won Best Actress and Best Actor awards for Hepubrn and Fonda.
4 | Now & Then
On Golden Pond is a movie to ponder and always keep in your heart. Peter Bogdanovich’s triumphant follow-up to The Last Picture Show and What’s Up Doc, his two other classics, is, unfortunately, his last great work. Paper Moon, with Ryan O’Neal and Tatum O’Neal, Madeline Kahn, P.J. Johnson and John Hillerman, is one of the most charming comedies of the 1970s. Papa Ryan and Oscar winner Tatum star as Depressionera Bible-selling grifters working their way through the Midwest. Kahn, Johnson and Hillerman all provide excellent support. Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his outstanding performance as Southern lawyer Atticus Finch in the brilliantly realized courtroom drama To Kill a
Mockingbird. Based on the best-selling novel by Harper Lee, the film is seen through the eyes of Finch’s young daughter, Scout (Mary Badham), and recounts her days as a youth in 1930s Georgia as well as following her father’s court case in which he defends a black man accused of rape. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the greatest of all American films. Da with Martin Sheen, Bernard Hughes and William Hickey has Hughes reprising his award-winning stage role in this endearing adaptation about a man (Sheen) who returns to his native Ireland for his estranged father’s funeral; coming to terms with his deceased parent when the man materializes after the funeral. The movie is a rewarding, funny examination of familial responsibilities and misgivings. James Dean gives an affecting and sincere performance as a rebel with a cause in the Elia Kazan classic East of Eden. Based on John Steinbeck’s novel, this was Dean’s starring debut as a misunderstood youth, yearning for his father’s approval while searching for the truth about his mysteriously absent mother. The 1950 comedy Father of the Bride with Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor, Billie Burke, Leo G. Carroll and Russ Tamblyn is a delightful family comedy. Tracy may have proved the inspiration for every sitcom father who has ever had to deal with a teen-ager but few have done it better. The story follows father Tracy and mother Bennett readying for daughter Taylor’s wedding. It’s hard to believe someone could be so funny just lifting an eyebrow. One of my top 10 favorite films of all time is the 1979 film The Great Santini with Robert Duvall, Michael O’Keefe, Blythe Danner and David Keith. Bull Meechum (Duvall) is one of nature’s hard cases, an ace Marine fighter pilot so adept at his lethal trade that they call him The Great Santini. But now it’s peacetime 1962. And more at home playing “top gun” in the cockpit than playing father in his own living room, he’s become that most useless of all figures; a warrior without a war. Based on Pat Conroy’s best-selling autobiographical novel, The Great Santini’s battleground is the family home, with Meechem’s objective to mold his oldest son in his own rigid image. As 18-year-old Ben Meechum, struggling to become his own man against his old man’s iron will, Michael O’Keefe earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination. As Lillian Meechum, wife, mother, emotional anchor of the family and unwilling referee in the father/son battles for position, Blythe Danner provides
a warmth and grace vital to the film’s undercurrent of gentle humanity. The very real family feeling combine with Duvall’s towering performance to make The Great Santini soar in your memory long after the film is over. October Sky, another favorite of mine, is the inspirational, warmhearted real-life story of making one’s dream come true against insurmountable odds. Set in 1957 in a coal mining town in West Virginia, the tale follows Homer Hickam (Jake Gyllenhaal), whose fascination with the launch of Sputnik and building of rockets is his way out of the mines. The entire cast is excellent, though Homer’s strict father (Chris Cooper) with whom Homer is continually at odds with over his future stands out. Sean Connery is an absolute delight as the father of Indy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Harrison Ford is dashing as ever as Indy, off in search of both the Holy Grail and his missing father. Connery is a timid scholarly type not really prepared for his son’s more dangerous escapades. The humor and pace is fast and furious and Indy’s old enemies—the Nazis— are back to do battle once again. The father/son relationship really works in this film. Finally, an overlooked movie from the year 2000 was Frequency with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. A rare atmospheric phenomenon allows a New York City firefighter to communicate with his son 30 years in the future via HAM radio. The son uses this opportunity to warn the father of his impending death in a warehouse fire, and manages to save his life. However, what he does not realize is that changing history has triggered a new set of tragic events, including the murder of his mother. The two men must now work together, 30 years apart, to find the murderer before he strikes so that they can change history—again. Frequency might not be your typical lighthearted Father’s Day tale but it is really a great film.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Even though you’re not here to celebrate with us, I know you’re still watching.

Rails-to-Trails of Wayne County Joins
Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy
...in Unveiling Routing for Great American Rail-Trail, an Iconic 3,700-Mile Trail Connecting the Nation
R
ails-to-Trails of Wayne County (RTWC) joins Railsto-Trails Conservancy (RTC) today as it unveils the preferred route for the Great American Rail-Trail ™ -or the "Great American"- an iconic piece of American infrastructure that connects more than 125 existing trails and 90 trail gaps over 3,700+ miles between Washington, D.C., and Washington State. The preferred route of the nation's first cross-country multiuse trail is detailed in a compreh-ensive report released by RTC today. The Great American Rail-Trail Route Assessment Report outlines RTC's recommendation for the route, developed in close partnership with states and local trail planners and managers, including RTWC. The Heartland Trail, which will connect Orrville to Clinton, is included in the planned route for the GART. Currently RTWC is nearing completion of a 2.4 mile section of the trail from Forrer Road in Orrville to Marshallville and is also in the process of developing plans for completing a connecting section of trail in Orrville. The next phase will connect Allen Avenue in Orrville to Forrer Road. Long range plans include completing The Heartlland Trail from Marshallville to Clinton and to continue to analyze options for connecting Orrville to Fredericksburg and the Holmes County Trail. "We are extremely pleased to be an important part of the plans for this incredible nationwide project," said Don Noble II, RTWC Board President. "As a not-for-profit organization, our volunteer board is especially honored to have the recognition and trust of the Rails-toTrails Conservancy. We are energized to continue our mission to build excellent trails in Wayne County." The route assessment was developed over 12 months with input from RTC's GIS analysis of more than 34,000 miles of multiuse trails; review of state and local trail plans; and discussions with RTWC as well as hundreds of additional local trail partners and state agencies representing the trails along the route. Traveling through 12 states and the District of Columbia, the Great American Rail-Trail is defined as more than 3,700 miles, comprising more than 1,900 miles of existing trails-those trails already developed that will help carry the route across the country-and more than 1,700 miles of "trail gaps,"-sections of trail in need of development to fully connect the Great American into one contiguous route. As the nation's first cross-country multiuse trail, the Great American will connect people of all ages and abilities with America's diverse
10 | Now & Then
landscapes and communities. Nearly 50 million people living within 50 miles of its route will be able to call this iconic American infrastructure their own. "The RTWC Board recently identified our theme as Passion, Patience, Persistence Means Progress," said Becky Jewell, Heartland Trail Manager. "We invite and encourage all of Wayne County to join us in this exciting opportunity for expanded health and wellness benefits as well as economic development and tourism potential. Building trails on abandoned rail beds is not a fad, it is a growing nationwide trend and we are very fortunate to be in this position." "We believe the Great American Rail-Trail will be a transformative project for the nation, as it magnifies on a grand scale the benefits that trails have delivered to communities for decades," said Chao. "Whether bridging gaps within and between communities, creating safe walking and biking access to jobs, transit, shopping and green space; or serving as recreation for cyclists, runners and casual daily explorers, this will be America's trail." While completion of the Great American Rail-Trail is a significant undertaking and several decades away, 52% of the path is already complete and available for public use, with plans to work in partnership with states and local jurisdictions and organizations to bring new segments online year after year. The Great American Rail-Trail is a signature project of RTC and the most ambitious in its portfolio of TrailNation™ projects-the organization's initiative to encourage the rapid replication of regional trail networks across the country. The Great American was first envisioned at RTC in the late 1980s, and for decades has been an underpinning of the organization's strategy to create a nationwide network of public trails. To learn more about the Great American Rail-Trail and to view the preferred route, visit greatamericanrailtrail.org and follow @ greatamericanrailtrail on Facebook and Instagram. Rails-to-Trails of Wayne County is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, development, and conversion of unused railroad and greenway corridors into multi-purpose, non-motorized, public paths. We are comprised of local volunteers with the common interests for enjoying trails in many different forms including bicycling, walking, running, roller-blading, and horseback riding. We promote and inspire movement!

Protect
Eyes from
Ultraviolet Rays Thanks to increased awareness about the perils of exposure to ultraviolet rays and skin damage, a greater number of people routinely apply sunscreen before spending time outdoors. But while people take steps to prevent sunburns, skin cancer and premature aging, they may fail to consider that UV rays also can damage their eyes. Just as people protect their skin from the sun, so, too, should they safeguard their eyes. Prevent Blindness America warns that the sun is comprised of UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays may hurt central vision by damaging the macula, or a part of the retina at the back of the eye. UVB rays typically affect the front part of the eye or the lens and cornea. The following are some common eye conditions that can be linked to exposure to UV rays.
Photokeratitis
Excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time can cause photokeratitis, which is equivalent to a sunburn of the eye. Photokeratitis may occur after spending long hours at the beach or skiing without proper eye protection. UVB rays cause photokeratitis, and these rays can burn the cornea, potentially causing pain and temporary vision loss.
Macular degeneration
According to the American Optometric Association, macular degeneration is a deterioration of the part of the retina that is responsible for sharp, central vision. In addition to UV rays, chronic exposure to shorter-wavelength visible blue and violet
light can be harmful to the retina. The sun and many artificial light sources, such as LEDs and smartphones, emit blue light. Some blue light can be beneficial, but some can be harmful to the eyes. Lenses that absorb harmful blue light or block it can prevent retinal damage.
Pterygium
Pterygium is a growth that forms on the outer portion of the eye, or the cornea and conjunctiva. The World Health Organization says that prolonged UV exposure can contribute to this condition. Pterygium may extend over the cornea and reduce vision, requiring surgical removal.
Cataracts
UV exposure also can contribute to the formation of cataracts. Prevent Blindness America says a cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, the part of the eye that focuses the light people see.
Sun protection
Sunglasses should completely cover the eyes, including the skin on the eyelids and under the eye, to provide adequate protection for the eyes. Wraparound frames will offer additional protection to those who spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight. The AOA says sunglasses should also do the following. • Block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. • Screen out between 75 and 90 percent of visible light. • Have lenses that are perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection. • Have lenses that are gray for proper color recognition. Consumers should speak with an eye doctor if they have additional questions about eye protection. Prescription lenses can be tinted and treated to offer UV protection.

Strategies that can help build
strong
immune systems A strong immune system can go a long way toward ensuring one’s overall health. But bolstering one’s immune system is no small task, as even medical researchers admit there is still much to learn about the links between lifestyle and immune function. The Harvard Medical School notes that a strongly functioning immune system requires balance and harmony. So it stands to reason that a highly unhealthy lifestyle will compromise the immune system, but it’s also worth noting that pushing the body too hard in the other direction also can adversely affect immune function. Researchers continue to study the potential links between immune response and variables such as diet, exercise, age, and psychological stress. Though studies are ongoing, the Harvard Medical School notes that the immune system is bolstered by various strategies associated with healthy living.
• Don’t smoke. Smoking is linked to a host of diseases and ailments, so it’s no surprise that it also compromises the immune system. The National Cancer Institute notes that cigarette smoke contains high levels of tar and other chemicals, which compromise the immune system’s ability to effectively combat infections. The effects of smoking on the immune system are both immediate and long-term. Smokers’ immune systems may not be able to fend off common infections like the common cold as effectively as the immune systems of nonsmokers. And over time, as smokers keep smoking, their immune systems will continue to weaken, which the NCI says makes them more vulnerable to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. • Eat a healthy diet. There is no magical food or foods that can strengthen the immune system to a point where infection is impossible. However, the Cleveland Clinic notes that a balanced, healthy diet that includes a mix of vitamins and minerals 14 | Now & Then
plays a role in strengthening the immune system. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain a bevy of vitamins and antioxidants that help the immune system fight off potential infections. Many people bemoan the absence of fresh fruits and vegetables at their local grocery stores during certain times of the year. But the Cleveland Clinic notes that manufacturers typically free frozen fruits and vegetables at peak ripeness. That means frozen fruits and vegetables provide similar nutrition to fresh fruits and vegetables during those times of year when foods are not in-season.
• Exercise regularly. Like a healthy diet, routine exercise provides a host of benefits, and one such benefit is its impact on the immune systems. The U.S. National Library of Medicine notes that the precise relationship between exercise and immune system function remains a mystery. Some researchers suspect that physical activity may flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways, reducing one’s risk of getting a cold, flu or other illness. Another theory suggests that exercises causes changes in white blood cells, which the immune system uses to fight disease. These exercise-related changes may make it possible for the cells to detect illnesses earlier than they would if the body was not exercised regularly. While it’s important to note that these are just theories, the Harvard Medical School suggests that it’s reasonable to consider moderate regular exercise an important component of a healthy, immune-boosting lifestyle. • Don’t buy the hype. Those interested in boosting their immune systems will no doubt find many products claiming to do just that. The Harvard Medical School urges consumers to be skeptical of such products, many of which make dubious claims that are not rooted in recognized scientific research. The immune system remains a mystery in many ways. But several healthy strategies may help people bolster their immune systems and potentially reduce their risk of infection.

Salmonella is ‘no
yolk’
when raising backyard chickens City dwellers and suburbanites have flown the coop, so to speak. A growing interest in raising chickens has enabled coops and nesting birds to spring up in neighborhoods one would not typically associate with chickens. Sometimes dubbed “urban homesteading” or “urban farming,” these homegrown operations enable people to enjoy fresh eggs from the comfort of home. Henhouses are just another extension of methods to reap the benefits of fresh, local and nonfactoryproduced foods. Although advocates insist that raising chickens on a small scale makes the birds less likely to carry disease than factory-farmed chickens, anyone raising chickens needs to be aware of the potential for disease — particularly salmonella. Also, it’s important to care for chickens in a manner that is humane and in line with local laws.
What is salmonella?
or other small rodents may transmit salmonella as well. Chickens also need safe, roomy clean conditions to remain healthy and content. According to the resource MyPetChicken, a diet of whole grains and seeds also may be associated with decreased salmonella colonies. Some experts warn against washing eggs as a preventative method. According to a report written by Diane Schivera, an organic livestock specialist for the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, thoroughly cleaning egg shells can remove a protective “bloom” that prevents bacteria from entering eggs. Eggs shouldn’t be scrubbed, but some suggest a warm water rinse that will push dirt away from the shell’s pores. Old eggs are more susceptible to bacteria penetration. Storing eggs at room temperature may cause them to degrade faster. Once eggs are gathered, individuals should wash their hands and make sure the eggs are chilled.
Salmonella is a common bacteria that lives in the intestinal tract of humans, other mammals and some birds, including chickens. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that approximately 1.2 million illnesses and 450 deaths are attributed to salmonella annually in the United States. The illness causes diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps between 12 and 72 hours after infection and can last between four and seven days. Salmonella can cause death when not properly treated with antibiotics.

Although humans cannot catch salmonella from chickens the way one would contract a cold, they can catch it through handling or consuming eggs of infected birds. The rural newsletter and farming resource Grit says salmonella can then be transmitted to humans who eat improperly cooked meat or eggs from infected birds or from putting their hands in your mouths after touching chickens or eggs that have come in contact with contaminated rodent or chicken feces. The elderly, people with weakened immune systems and young children are at the highest risk for salmonella infection than others. Children who help gather eggs and do not thoroughly wash their hands afterward can be at increased risk. Maintaining clean conditions and routinely inspecting chickens for good health can help lower the risk of salmonella infection. Chicks and adult chickens that have salmonella may produce loose yellow or green droppings; have a drop in egg production, increased thirst and decreased feed consumption; and show signs of weight loss. Look for rodents in the henhouse, as infected mice

Keeps getting better —
Grossniklaus continues to improve her cooking skills by Cami Bohrer Food writer
“The first time I boiled potatoes, I boiled them dry,” Julia Grossniklaus confessed. That was back in her newlywed days, several decades ago. Since then, her cooking skills have improved immensely, earning high marks from family, community and friends. Egg and sausage bake is an all-around favorite. Not long ago, Grossniklaus triple-batched the casserole for a church breakfast potluck. “By the time I got to my casserole in the buffet line, it was all gone,” she said. The recipe is rather simple with Grossniklaus-inspired tweaks that make a difference. For instance, where the recipe calls for a pound of bacon “or” sausage, she uses the pound of sausage and a few slices of bacon thrown in for good measure. As for the sausage, she says “I cook it until it is caramelized but not until it is dry.” More tweaks come with the cheese, five ounces in the recipe. “I am sure I do two cups (16 ounces). I make sure there is a lot of cheese on it,” she said adding, “I will even add sharp cheddar with it. That might be a difference too.” At home, Grossniklaus has been known to serve hash brown casserole as a side on the breakfast menu. The word “or” in this recipe, as with the breakfast casserole, means “both” to Grossniklaus. “I actually add a can of both soups and sometimes, if I don’t have cream of chicken soup, I will just do two cream of celery depending on the flavor I want,” she said. “Amber, my daughter, told me what makes my hash brown casseroles good is because I have it crisp and browned on top,” she said. That crispness develops from crushed cornflakes and butter. “I put the cornflakes in a bag and roll them to crumbs, and I do mean crumbs,” she said. The fine texture develops a smooth and crunchy topping to the potatoes. “When we go to different church potlucks, I always try to make what my family likes. I don’t take just one dish,” Grossniklaus said. Consequently, the hash browns often make their appearance at potluck and family suppers along with cheese meat loaf. A ground beef entree, this recipe uses rolled oats as the binding agent and cheese (chopped — not grated) which introduces a major flavor event. “You can use any type of cheese, but I have used swiss a lot of times,” she said. As far as this being a loaf, well, it isn’t. Grossniklaus shapes her meat mixture into a mounded round, topped with catsup and bacon. “That topping gives it good flavor,” she said. To ensure perfection, Grossniklaus makes everyone wait at least 10 minutes after the meatloaf comes out of the oven before it is served. “I think this rest period has something to do with the juices,” she said. Grossniklaus is a huge supporter of her grandchildren Libby (15), Grace (14), Owen (13) and Joy (10) and their activities. “I am always making something for the grandkids’ schools and for fundraisers ... One time, I made a couple of peanut butter pies and this rhubarb pie ... The rhubarb pie sold for $125,” she said. That profitable pie just happens to be a favorite of Grossniklaus’ husband Rick and of son Hans, who passed away about five years
18 | Now & Then
ago. Although her husband is not particularly fond of custard pies, he makes an exception with the two eggs in this pie’s filling which make it, in Grossniklaus’s words, ”... a little bit of a custard.” The recipe came from Grossniklaus’ aunt, with a crumb topping for extra sweetness. Residing at 185 Cherry Lane in Wooster, Grossniklaus and her husband are members of the Church of the Savior, which is a frequent recipient of Grossniklaus’ bake sale and potluck donations. “What I really like to do is work in my flowerbed. It is good therapy, she said. She also passes on her cooking knowledge to her grandchildren. “All four of my grandchildren know how to bake,” Grossniklaus said. In fact, grandson Owen’s Dutch apple pie outdid his grandmother’s rhubarb in fundraising when it brought in $2,500 at a 4-H auction during a recent Wayne County Fair.

Owls ‘Al’ and ‘Alice’ Released to the Wild After Stint at Medina Raptor Center
by Dan Starcher WOOSTER — Two Wayne County owls, “Al and Alice,” were returned to their home on Wednesday, Mar. 27, 2019 following a rehabilitation stint at the Medina Raptor Center. Their story began back in February. David Scurlock was on his way to meet a friend for coffee early one morning when he spotted an owl standing in the middle of the road. “I thought that it was pretty cool seeing him, so I got out to take a picture,” Scurlock said. “But something wasn’t right, I walked right up to him and he didn’t even move.” Not knowing what condition the owl was in, Scurlock picked it up, wrapped it in a sweatshirt, put it in a box and started making phone calls. “I knew of the Medina Raptor Center and I called them,” he said. “As far as we can tell, it was probably hit by a car.” Scurlock kept checking on the owl and getting updates on its progress from Laura Jordan, executive director of the center. And, as it turned out, after making it through a critical 24-hour period, it seemed Al was going to be just fine. The good news kept coming, and Al was getting stronger and recuperating nicely. Then one day Jordan told Scurlock that Al had made a friend — another owl, “Alice,” that was picked up just a few miles away from Scurlock’s farm on Tolbert Road.
“We never really knew what happened to them. Alice was in bad shape and was in rehab longer,” Jordan said. “After Al was ready to try and fly again, we took him to the flight cage and, for some reason, he bonded with Alice.” Jordan explained that the pair stayed in the flight cage for nearly two months together. “They have been together so long and bonded so well, I felt they should be released together,” Jordan said. “They always sat beside each other during rehab.”
Jordan admitted though that she doesn’t know what direction their paths will take now that they are back in their natural setting. But if Scurlock’s wishes come true, they will take up residence in the two owl houses he built and installed in a wooded area on his property.
