1886 -The Hayesville Opera House was located on the second floor. A dress shop, apartments, the mayor’s office and meeting room for the Vermilion township trustee board were at one time located on the first floor. Today, the Opera House remains open to the public, turn to page 4 to learn more. Photo courtesy of David Roepke

Local News Pre- 1923: Wayne County was “going dippy” over the Lincoln Highway Day celebration, The Wooster Daily News reported Oct. 27, 1913. Slated for Oct. 31 in Wooster, the festivities were to include automobile, horse and motorcycle races; an onion-eating contest; an “automobile-obstruction” race; potato and egg races; a nail-driving race “for the ladies;” four brass bands; and “the biggest torchlight procession seen since the days of the Civil War.” The 3,000- mile highway was to be a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and running through the north central states from New York to San Francisco. City Solicitor Joseph Fritz was said to be “bug-house in every sense of the term” over the project, as he instructed the paint committee of Ginter and Quinby to paint red, white and blue stripes across the front of his house. “Guess that’s getting enthused, ain’t it?” the Daily News surmised. The newspaper said it had been “creditably informed” that several prominent area men were so enthusiastic over the event that they were talking about it in their sleep. “It is said that Mack Ginter, the other night, got up and went to the kitchen, grabbed a broom and then put

on a midnight war dance around a chair in the middle of the room, shouting, ‘Lincoln Highway! Lincoln Highway!’.” 1923: Watches and diamond rings valued at more than $1,800 were stolen from the Shibley and Hudson jewelry store the morning of Oct. 7. The items were part of a window display, the popularity of which led the store owners to go against their practice of putting diamonds and other high-priced items in a safe overnight. The store’s insurance policy did not cover items left out overnight. Police believed the thieves, who smashed the store’s plate glass window with a rock, were professionals from out of town who noticed the display while visiting Wooster during the Wayne County Fair. The store owners expressed little hope the items would be recovered. 1923: An opossum that played dead was able to save its life, but not its hide, a Wooster man “popularly called ‘Jake’” told the Wooster Daily Record Oct. 13. As the wife of a man Jake knew was preparing to cook an opossum that her husband caught and skinned, the animal jumped from the table and ran out the house and up a tree, Jake said.

he creaking of the staircase underfoot ads to the nostalgia as patrons of the Hayesville Opera House ascend to the second story theatre. Restored to its original architectural glory, the opera house has been updated to show family friendly movies, concerts and plays in order to continually serve the community. The only opera house along the Lincoln Highway, the Hayesville Opera House opened in 1886 within a twostory brick building. In the early years of the opera house it was used for numerous performances by community members including the annual Hayesville Memorial Day program honoring local veterans. The local high school of the time, Vermilion Academy, used the space to present school plays and graduation ceremonies. Vaudeville shows also graced the stage, which would

have featured medicine men selling their products. Only a few traveling shows made appearances at the opera house, due to the lack of a railroad in town, but many of the first silent movies were shown within the opera house. In 2005, the Hayesville Opera House received a grant from the National Park Service, allowing for the restoration of the theatre to its 1886 appearance. Comfortably seating about 200, the wooden chairs still boast their hat racks on the underside. The stage itself maintains its racked, or slight slant toward the audience

has been approved to assist in the purchase. The only catch is the opera house has to provide half of the value of the grant or $10,000. Many opera houses across the country are disappearing, but there are a handful that have been modified in order to appeal to the general public. Centrally located between the cities of Ashland and Wooster, the Hayesville Opera House offers an accurate representation of an opera house from the 1800s. Representing the style of opera houses built in 1900s is the Ohio Theatre, located in Loudonville. This theatre is also in the business of showing first run movies and has already upgraded to a digital projector. Both theaters are historical landmarks and time capsules of their time periods. Those who wish to support the Hayesville Opera House in their much needed upgrade may leave a donation at the box office or visit the theatre’s GoFundMe account. Simply search the site for Hayesville Opera House. For more information, please call 567-203-3231.

which allows for the best view by audience members. Original hand painted backdrops adorn the stage depicting various scenes and providing a beautiful look into the past. Backstage there lays hidden a treasure; a record of all the performers to grace the stage of the opera house. Covering the walls, doors and even portions of the backside of the backdrops, are signatures of actors, actresses and musicians who have performed on the stage. Signing the wall became a ritual of luck for the performers including Buffalo Bill Cody, whose signature was added to the wall of a dressing room in 1888. As traveling plays became fewer and local schools built their own auditoriums, the Hayesville Opera House began to show movies in an effort to transform with the community and to keep the historical building in the public eye. To date, the opera house has been showing first run movies, meaning the movie has not been made into a format that is readily available to the general public. Operating as a non-profit, the opera house relies on the proceeds from the movies to keep the building utilities up to date. The Hayesville Opera House aims to provide affordable entertainment the entire family can enjoy. Movie times are generally 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings and 4 p.m. on Sundays. In keeping with movie theater tradition, the opera house offers a concession stand where patrons can purchase popcorn and candy to enjoy during the feature. This past month, movies such as The Secret Life of Pets and Star Trek Beyond attracted families from the surrounding counties. As of the beginning of October the only other movie scheduled to play at the opera house is the latest remake of Ghostbusters which will premier Halloween weekend. With the move to digital projectors, the age of film is reaching its end. In order to continually show the latest Hollywood features, the Hayesville Opera House has to upgrade their projector. The cost of a new digital projector has been estimated around $40,000. Due to the leadership and dedication of board president David Roepke, the Hayesville Opera House has been successful in attracting government grants. In previous years the grant money has been used to renovate the building and update certain features such as the heating system. Recently, Roepke wrote a letter to Senator Obhauf, explaining the Hayesville Opera House’s projector needs. In response, a grant of $20,000

My Daily Life

Preservation With a Pencil Story and Select Photo by KATE MINNICH NOW & THEN WRITER & DESIGNER

Botanical art completed in colored pencil on paper by Cheryl L. Miller

ur perception of a familiar location or scene is often colored by our memories; preserving these feelings is something many seek to accomplish through artwork. For Cheryl L. Miller, picking up a pencil and sketching a photo quality image is second nature. When depicting a beloved building or botanical item, Cheryl commits the time to properly represent the detail within each memento. From the early stages of her art spent drawing with her father to the formal mentorship through the Wayne Center for the arts and Diana Glanco, Cheryl has built upon her natural ability. While Cheryl has worked with various mediums such as oils and pastels, graphite or pencil remains her favorite due to the level of detail she is able to accomplish. Cheryl began her career as an artist through commissioned work, mainly for those who wished to preserve a memory of a favored landscape or architectural building. Her first commissioned project was a drawing

of the Victorian House in Millersburg, Ohio. With her interest in history, the character and ornate detail of the building captured Cherylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. From this first step, Cheryl began to produce graphite drawings of several historical buildings in Millersburg. Lately, Cheryl has been turning her attention to botanical subjects, thus combining her love for gardening and detail. The results are life like portraits accurately depicting the beauty and grace witnessed in the nature

Now & Then â&#x20AC;˘ 8

surrounding her home. Due to the short life span of botanical items once they are harvested, Cheryl tends to photograph and make several sketches in order to preserve the detail. On other occasions, the botanical item will be physically preserved in her refrigerator, in an effort to prolong the life span and allow for more detailed sketches. Cheryl maintains the same level of detail for all her projects, often working from a photograph or physical specimen. A photograph can provide an overall scene, but research is sometimes required to accurately portray minute details such as the color or structure of a botanical item. Attracted to the sunrises around Lake Erie, Cheryl will adjust the colors represented in a photograph to create a more appealing scene. For another project, Cheryl went searching for the specimen in question. Working with a Chicory flower, she found a living example in its natural environment. Boasting a background in teaching art, Cheryl has shared her knowledge with various area groups over the years, including a home schooling group, the Winesburg Library, Colonial Homestead and the Holmes County

Arts Center. Wishing to pass her art on to everyone who wishes to learn, Cheryl currently teaches classes to children as well as adults. In the adult classes, participants are mainly taught drawing techniques using graphite and colored pencils. With a focus on drawing, the children’s class is working with materials such as oils, pastels and graphite in an effort to introduce the participants to different mediums. Reveling in the expressiveness shown by children, Cheryl acknowledges their ability to not worry about what others think and to let their imaginations run wild. Firm in her belief that we never stop learning, Cheryl is in regular communication with fellow artists. Sharing work with one another and receiving feedback allows everyone involved to build upon their own crafts and glean new ideas and techniques. Technology has been a tool with which artists may connect with each other no matter where they live. With few others working in the botanical arts, Facebook has

been a great resource, allowing artists to meet each other based on their work. An artist may search the internet for artwork they enjoy and then track down the artist and begin a conversation. Cheryl has met and remained in contact with a fellow artist from Ireland through Facebook. The two share their work and enjoy having feedback from someone working in the same themes. Cheryl Miller enjoys using art to preserve nature and memories while continuing to perfect and grow her craft. Often completing commissioned pieces depicting landscapes and buildings, Cheryl helps to preserve the memories of a family home with intense detail. Drawing inspiration from the world around her, Cheryl has recently decided to use her botanical art in jewelry making. If you are interested in seeing more art by Cheryl L. Miller, visit her blog at cherylmillerstudio.blogspot.com or email her at cherylmillerstudio814@gmail.com.

he importance of maintaining clean teeth and healthy gums goes beyond having fresh breath and a white smile. Many people are surprised to discover that oral hygiene plays an integral role in overall health. Research indicates that oral health mirrors the condition of the body as a whole. Also, regular dental visits can alert dentists about overall health and pinpoint if a person is at a risk for chronic disease. An oral health check-up also may be the first indication of a potential health issue not yet evident to a general medical doctor. Heart disease According to the Academy of General Dentistry, there is a distinct relationship between periodontal disease and conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Joint teams at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland, found that people with bleeding gums from poor dental hygiene could have an increased risk of heart disease. Bacteria from the mouth is able to enter the bloodstream when bleeding gums are present. That bacteria can stick to platelets and subsequently form blood clots. This interrupts the flow of blood to the heart

and may trigger a heart attack. Brushing and flossing twice daily and rinsing with mouthwash can remove bacteria and keep gums healthy. Facial pain The Office of the Surgeon General says infections of the gums that support the teeth can lead to facial and oral pain. Gingivitis, which is an early stage of gum disease, as well as advanced gum disease, affects more than 75 percent of the American population. Dental decay can lead to its own share of pain. Maintaining a healthy mouth can fend off decay and infections, thereby preventing pain.

Alzheimer’s disease Various health ailments, including poor oral health, have been linked to a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. In 2010, after reviewing 20 years’ worth of data, researchers from New York University concluded that there is a link between gum inflammation and Alzheimer’s disease. Follow-up studies from researchers at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom compared brain samples from 10 living patients with Alzheimer’s to samples from 10 people who did not have the disease. Data indicated that a bacterium — Porphyromonas gingivalis — was present in the Alzheimer’s brain samples but not in the samples from the brains of people who did not have Alzheimer’s. P. gingivalis is usually associated with chronic gum disease. As a result of the study, experts think that the bacteria can move via nerves in the roots of teeth that connect directly with the brain or through bleeding gums. These health conditions are just a sampling of the relationship between oral health and overall health. Additional connections also have been made and continue to be studied.

Pancreatic cancer In 2007, the Harvard School of Public Health reported a link between gum disease and pancreatic cancer. In the ongoing study, 51,000 men were followed and data was collected beginning in 1986. The Harvard researchers found that men with a history of gum disease had a 64 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with men who had never had gum disease. The greatest risk for pancreatic cancer among this group was in men with recent tooth loss. However, the study was unable to find links between other types of oral health problems, such as tooth decay, and pancreatic cancer.

Historical

Clinton Or Trump: Story by KATE MINNICH WRITER & DESIGNER

Christine Dalton

Andrea Grendahl

When asked about Trump’s plan to continue the trickle down effect with tax breaks to the big businesses: “I agree with the plan. They [big businesses] are the ones who are creating the jobs. It will eventually trickle down to the middle class.”

Before the debate she didn’t have a favorite but she had a least favorite Trump. Now after the debate, Grendahl is absolutely positive she would never vote for Trump.

In regards to Trump’s belief in the stop and frisk practice: “Despite what Clinton claims there is evidence that stop and frisk decreased crime rates. If someone is acting suspicious and is stopped and something is found then a future crime was stopped.” When asked about increased background checks both candidates supported: “Yes, it is good to limit those with a history or on a list but they will go elsewhere anyway (to obtain guns). They won’t buy from the mainstream places.”

Now & Then • 14

Which candidate set forth the better plan for the economy? “I did not like Trump’s idea of tax cuts for the [wealthy and big businesses]. It hasn’t worked thus far and will not work in the future.” Final Thoughts: “My husband works with international companies and has already started to notice hesitation due to the popularity Trump has reached. If he were to become president, we will have a more difficult time dealing internationally and will loose respect among other countries.”

onday, September 26 marked the first Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. During the course of the debate three main topics were posed to the candidates; Achieving prosperity, America’s direction and securing America. In the typical format of our country’s Presidential debates there were several topics underneath each main umbrella. The purpose of the debates are to paint a picture of each candidate in so far as their platforms, ideals and attitudes. The debate began with a discussion about the economy and how each candidate planned to improve the job availability, income rates and equality for all workers. Emphasizing the middle class, Hilary Clinton would increase tax breaks, invest in renewable energy, achieve equal pay for women and help balance work and family life. Siting the fact that one country is going to be the leader in renewable energy, Clinton is eager to assert our country’s position in the field. Championing for women and family life, Clinton went on to paint a picture of paid family leave and earned sick days. The tax breaks would be directed to the small businesses and those in the middle class in an effort to support the economy from within and watching the results branch out. In her own words, “the more we can invest in the middle class the better we grow.” Focused on the creation and maintenance of the job market, Donald Trump plans to reduce taxes for the big businesses. Specifically, Trump is going to give the tax break to the companies

The Word on the Street who work within the United States and create jobs here rather than those who outsource the labor. Those companies who outsource the labor and then import the product will see a higher tax in an effort to further deter that style of business. In Trump’s own words, “We have to provide incentives for companies to stay and create jobs.” The subject was then guided to the growing racial tension playing out in our country and what each candidate might do to heal the divide. Trump focused in on the issue of law and order and creating an overall environment of peace. Going so far as to compare them to war zones, Trump pointed toward the atmosphere of many inner cities and the unfolding gun violence. His solution is to increase the number of police and limit the sale of guns to particular individuals. Clinton is calling for a reform to the justice system. While acknowledging the good police officers, Clinton also pointed to the lack of funding available to many departments. Enhancing quality police training, Clinton hopes to restore trust in the communities and increase respect for and by law enforcement. These are but two of the topics touched on by each candidate. Those who watched even a portion of the debate bore witness to the temperament and ideals of each candidate. To either side you will find comments on the debate by four community members randomly approached on the street. Two are Clinton supporters and two are Trump supporters.

Anonymous

Susan Riedner

“The trickle down method is a conservative stand that has worked in the past and illustrates how we live our lives. Meaning that we buy from the big businesses, only makes sense they be the first to be supported.”

When asked why she supports Hilary Clinton: “She is articulate, looks like a president and has a good temperament to deal with diplomatic affairs.”

When asked if Trump possessed a good temperament to be president: “We have had gruff and blunt presidents before.” Pointing to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, “It doesn’t mean he is mean.” Final Thoughts: “The business aspect Trump provides would be a good supporting component of a president. Have we ever tried running the government with such a president?”

Then the subject of Donald Trump’s character and temperament: “Trump is rude, terrible and tells too many lies.” Two reasons Trump would not do well as president: “We don’t need a businessman to run our government.” “The way he talks down to women.” Final Thoughts: “Clinton is much more positive about the state of things and where they could go.”

Car Tips

Indicators It’s Time

to Change Air Filters

ehicle maintenance can protect drivers’ investments and help their automobiles run efficiently. One aspect drivers should pay particular attention to is their vehicles’ air filters. When operating at optimal capacity, an air filter improves fuel efficiency while ensuring vehicles accelerate smoothly without taxing the engine. But when air filters are clogged, fuel efficiency is reduced and emissions are increased, a 1-2 punch that costs motorists money and

hurts the planet at the same time. Drivers can check their owners’ manuals to determine the recommended intervals to replace air filters, but the following are a handful of indicators that suggest it’s time to change them. • Gas mileage: Unless you just purchased your vehicle, you likely know how many miles you can drive on a full tank of gas. If that gas mileage is suddenly slipping and you find yourself visiting the filling station more frequently, then it might be time to replace your air filter. • Engine light: Drivers may be alerted to engine issues when the “Check engine” lights up on the vehicle’s dashboard. This light may come on to indicate a problem with the air filter, as clogged air filters reduce air flow to the engine, resulting in an imbalanced air-fuel mixture that adversely affects the engine. • Starting and idling problems: Vehicles sometimes don’t start up as smoothly as they once did, and drivers may also notice vehicles are not idling smoothly. These symptoms may indicate misfiring spark plugs that are being polluted (and made less effective) by a dirty air filter that is reducing the flow of air to the engine. • Acceleration difficulties: Automobiles that are operating at peak capacity accelerate quickly. But dirty, worn out air filters adversely affect acceleration. Drivers who notice that their cars are struggling to accelerate when stoplights turn green or on highways may need to replace their vehicles’ air filters. • Dirty air filter: Perhaps the biggest indicator that an air filter needs to be replaced is the filter itself. If you cannot find the air filter on your own, consult your vehicle owner’s manual to determine where it is. Once you find the air filter, examine it in broad daylight. Clean air filters are white, so if the filter has darkened, it may need to be replaced.

Did You Know

ransforming pumpkins into cleverly carved creations is a Halloween tradition. Each October, glowing pumpkins take up residence near doorsteps and porches, adding to the magical ambiance of the season. Young and old spend time designing their themes and then taking knife to pumpkin to achieve the desired effects. Carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns can be traced back centuries to Ireland and a story about “Stingy Jack.” The tale involves Jack outwitting the Devil twice, the second time freeing the Devil from a prank in exchange for the promise that he would not claim Jack’s soul should Jack die. When Jack did die, God did not want the unsavory character in heaven, but the Devil could not claim Jack for hell. Therefore, Jack was relegated to roam the planet indefinitely with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put that coal into a carved-out turnip. His ghostly figure was referred to as “Jack of the Lantern.” Later on it was shortened to “Jack O’Lantern.” When Irish immigrants arrived in North America, turnips weren’t plentiful, so jack-o’-lanterns were instead carved into pumpkins. Today, many people carve jack-o’-lanterns, with some featuring just smiling or grimacing faces while others are far more artistic creations. These tips can help anyone carve a pumpkin.

• Begin with a fresh pumpkin. Look for a pumpkin with a green stem. If the pumpkin has been sitting around for too long or has been handled too much, the stem can get brittle and/or fall off. A thick, fresh pumpkin is best for carving. • Plan your ideas. Draw a plan for your pumpkin before you make your first cut. Then transfer that design to the pumpkin with pen or a thin marker. Pumpkincarving kits come with designs that can be “traced” by poking small holes to create the outline of the design. • Don’t cut all the way through. Many professional pumpkin artists do not actually cut clear through the flesh of the pumpkin. They carve and shave off layers of the outer rind until it becomes more translucent. The level of transparency can be adjusted based on how much skin is removed and as a way to add texture and shadowing. The more air that is allowed to penetrate the pumpkin, the faster it will start to degrade. • Delay carving until the last minute. Wait until the day before Halloween to begin carving. Pumpkins are a perishable item, and they’ll begin to rot as soon as you begin carving. Spritzing them with water can help them stay fresh, but there’s no turning back the clock once the first cut is made. • Cut a hole in the back. According to Brooklynbased Maniac Pumpkin Carvers, cutting off the top of the pumpkin can affect its structural integrity and cause it to rot faster. Instead, cut a hole in the back of the pumpkin and use an electric light to illuminate it. LEDs are adviseable because they don’t generate much heat, which can cook and rot the pumpkin from the inside out. With some creativity and a little know-how, anyone can create an eye-catching jack-o’-lantern.
