LOOKING BACK
White Jewelers Celebrating 90 Years
THEN
NOW
1982 Ninety years ago Orelin and Nellie White started a jewelry business in a space partitioned with a shoe repair shop. Much has changed in the business, even since granddaughter Heather Kobilarcsik bought it from her mother Chell Maxwell in 1992. In 1999, she moved into the present space after demolishing a theater next door to the west. Technology has had the biggest impact on the business, however, says Heather. Instead of hand-written ledgers, computers calculate balances. Computers with compelling websites are now
used to make sales. Loose diamonds can be picked out off the web and delivered the next day. People come in with pictures on their phones in hopes of finding a similar item available through the store. Every piece of inventory is on the computer, and a website and Facebook page have to be maintained. Gold prices get monitored on the internet. Technology has even changed the way diamonds are set and jewelry is made, examples being layered necklaces, bolo bracelets and dancing diamonds.
IN THE NEWS NOVEMBER 1928 Wednesday, November 14 ABANDON HOPE FOR 105 MISSING AT SEA: Rescued Ones Charge Delay in Asking Aid, Bitterly Criticize Officers of Vestris, But Praises Individual Heroism. One hundred and fifty survivors of the sunken liner Vestris were landed at New York today by two rescue ships. The American Shipper had on board 127 passengers and members of the crew; the German Berlin carried 23 survivors, including five passengers and 18 seaman. The French tankship Myriam, with an indefinite quota of survivors is due at New York late night. A re-check of the rescue chart at noon put the number of persons unreported at from 105 to 115. Monday, November 19 HOOVER SETS SAIL FOR SOUTH AMERICA: Crowd Cheers as He Starts Goodwill Tour; Will Visit Seven Republics Before Returning to U.S. in January. President-Elect Hoover today began his 12,000 mile friendship tour to Latin America. Accompanied by Mrs. Hoover, his son Allan and a party of forty, the President-Elect arrived at San Pedro naval base this morning and boarded the battleship Maryland which is to carry him southward. A presidential salute of twenty one guns greeted Mr. Hoover in the harbor. To the accompaniment of an uproarious welcome, the special train bearing Mr. Hoover and his party arrived here at 9:44 a.m.

Friday, November 23 CLOSE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE: Drastic Action Taken to End Buying Orgy; Governors Order Exchange Closed Saturday as Strain Becomes Too Great. Unable to stand the strain of the speculative orgy that has been sweeping like wildfire over the country for the past three weeks, the stock exchange announced today the decision of the Governors to close the Board on Saturday as the second of the relief measures of the week. Before the opening gong had sounded today, it was apparent that the market would be swamped with the new tidal wave of buying orders which rolled in from every section of the country. In big blocks they came out on the ticker; 10,000 shares to 40,000 shares of the stock favorites that have been dancing on the tape excitedly for the last few weeks. Tuesday, December 4 DIRECTORY INDICATES CITY WILL HAVE 12,000 BY 1930. The new Wooster directory, published by the CalkinKelly Directory Company of Binghamton, New York, is just off the press and was being delivered to Wooster, Tuesday. “Wooster shows real growth, ever since the publication of our last directory, and if the growth continues, as it should, the next census should show a population of close to 12,000,� said one of the representatives of the Calvin-Kelly Co., today. The directory shows careful preparation, is well printed, and will be of real service to the many folks who use a directory frequently. The directory is sold by subscription and an order sent to the publishers.

A Football team was on the field during practice, when to their surprise, a big turkey suddenly walked up to the coach and demanded a tryout. “Are you crazy,” hollered the coach, “we don’t give tryouts to turkeys.” Before he knew it the turkey started dashing towards the football and made a fantastic catch. “That was amazing”, exclaimed the coach “I have never seen anything like that! How much do you want for a year?” “Don’t worry about money,” said the turkey, “let me just ask you something, does the season go past thanksgiving?!”

Happy
THANKSGIVING by RANDY WILSON NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
T
he turkey has been eaten, the pumpkin pie is gone and the dishes are all washed, and now it’s time for a Thanksgiving movie with family and friends. Here’s my list of 12 cinema suggestions that fit the bill. PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES – This 1987 classic comedy stars Steve Martin and John Candy. All that Neal Page wants to do is to get home for Thanksgiving. His flight has been cancelled due to bad weather, so he decides on other means of transport. As well as bad luck, Neal is blessed with the presence of Del Griffith, shower curtain ring salesman and all-around blabbermouth who is never short of advice, conversation, bad jokes, or company. And when he decides that he is going the same direction as Neal....you can guess what happens! DUTCH – It’s another trip to Chicago in this 1991 comedy with Ed O’Neill and JoBeth Williams. Working-class good guy Dutch Dooley is the current boyfriend of a wealthy, snobbish tycoon's ex-wife. Volunteering to drive the woman's son home for Thanksgiving to Chicago from his boarding school in Georgia, little does Dutch expect the picaresque adventures in store for him. When a blunt, down-to-earth construction worker takes to the road with an insufferable twelve-year-old snob (desperately insecure under the surface) who does not approve of him in the least, quite a little must happen before they can reach their destination as friends -- or, for that matter, get home at all.
4 | Now & Then
NOBODY’S FOOL – This 1994 drama stars Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Melaine Griffith and Bruce Willis. Sully is a rascally ne'er-do-well approaching retirement age. While he is pressing a worker's compensation suit for a bad knee, he secretly works for his nemesis, Carl, and flirts with Carl's young wife Toby. Sully's long- forgotten son and family have moved back to town, so Sully faces unfamiliar family responsibilities. Meanwhile, Sully's landlady's banker son plots to push through a new development and evict Sully from his mother's life. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS – Director Jodi Foster’s 1995 comedy stars Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft and Robert Downey, Jr. After losing her job, making out with her soon to be ex-boss, and finding out that her daughter plans to spend Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, Claudia Larson has to face spending the holiday with her family. She wonders if she can survive their crazy antics. WHAT’S COOKING – Joan Chen, Julianna Marguiles and Mercedes Ruehl star in this 2000 romantic comedy/drama. In LA's Fairfax district, where ethnic groups abound, four households celebrate Thanksgiving amidst family tensions. In the Nguyen family, the children's acculturation and immigrant parents' fears collide. In the Avila family, Isabel's son has invited her estranged husband to their family dinner. Audrey and Ron Williams want to keep their own family's ruptures secret from Ron's visiting mother. In the Seelig household, Herb and Ruth are unwilling to discuss openly their grown daughter's living with her lover, Carla. Around each
table, things come to a head. A gun, an affair, a boyfriend, and a pregnancy precipitate crises forcing each family to find its center. ANNIE HALL – Woody Allen’s 1977 romantic comedy stars Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts and many more. Alvy Singer, a forty year old twice-divorced, neurotic, intellectual Jewish New York stand-up comic, reflects on the demise of his latest relationship, to Annie Hall, an insecure, flighty, Midwestern WASP aspiring nightclub singer. Unlike his previous relationships, Alvy believed he may have worked out all the issues in his life through fifteen years of therapy to make this relationship with Annie last, among those issues being not wanting to date any woman that would want to date him, and thus subconsciously pushing those women away. Alvy not only reviews the many ups and many downs of their relationship, but also reviews the many facets of his makeup that led to him starting to date Annie. Those facets include growing up next to Coney Island in Brooklyn, being attracted to the opposite sex for as long as he can remember, and enduring years of Jewish guilt with his constantly arguing parents. SCENT OF A WOMAN – Al Pacino and Chris O’Donnell star in this 1992 drama. Frank is a retired Lt. Col. in the US Army. He's blind and impossible to get along with. Charlie is at school and is looking forward to going to university; to help pay for a trip home for Christmas, he agrees to look after Frank over Thanksgiving. Frank's niece says this will be easy money, but she didn't reckon on Frank spending his Thanksgiving in New York. CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING - Peppermint Patty invites herself and her friends over to Charlie Brown's for Thanksgiving, and with Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock, he attempts to throw together a Thanksgiving dinner. This 1973 family classic is not quite the Halloween or Christmas specials but it is a nice in-between piece. THE ICE STORM - In the weekend after Thanksgiving 1973, the Hoods are skidding out of control. Benjamin Hood reels from drink to drink, trying not to think about his trouble at the office. His wife, Elena, is reading self-help books and losing patience with her husband's lies. Their son, Paul, home for the holidays, escapes to the city to pursue an alluring rich girl from his prep school. And young, budding nymphomaniac, Wendy Hood roams the neighborhood, innocently exploring liquor cabinets and lingerie drawers of her friends' parents, looking for something new. Then an ice storm hits, the worst in a century. Things get bad... This 1997 drama with Kevin Kline, Joan Allen and Sigourney Weaver is a superb story from Director Ang Lee. PIECES OF APRIL – This 2003 comedy drams stars Katie Holmes, Oliver Platt and Patricia Clarkson. In a very poor zone of
New York, April Burns and her boyfriend, the AfroAmerican Bobby, are preparing to receive April's family for Thanksgiving dinner. While Bobby tries to borrow a suit for himself, April realizes that her stove is broken. She tries desperately to find a neighbor that can let her cook the turkey, since she does not want to fail (again) with her family. Meanwhile, in a suburb of Pennsylvania, her dysfunctional family is preparing to travel to New York. While driving, the relationship between the Burns and their black-sheep April is disclosed through the conversations between her father Jim, her resented mother Joy, her brother, her sister, and her grandmother. AVALON – This 1990 drama stars Aidan Quinn, and Elizabeth Perkins. A Polish-Jewish family arrives in the US at the beginning of the century, and they and their children try to build themselves a better future in the promised land. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET – While this 1947 classic is traditionally thought of as a Christmas movie, it actually features a Thanksgiving event, the Macy’s Parade. At the Macy's Department Store Thanksgiving Day parade, the actor playing Santa is discovered to be drunk by a whiskered old man. Doris Walker, the no-nonsense special events director, persuades the old man to take his place. The old man proves to be a sensation and is quickly recruited to be the store Santa at the main Macy's outlet. While he is successful, Ms. Walker learns that he calls himself Kris Kringle, and he claims to be the actual Santa Claus. Despite reassurances by Kringle's doctor that he is harmless, Doris still has misgivings, especially when she has cynically trained herself, and especially her daughter, Susan, to reject all notions of belief and fantasy. And yet, people, especially Susan, begin to notice there is something special about Kris and his determination to advance the true spirit of Christmas amidst the rampant commercialism around him and succeeding in improbable ways. When a raucous conflict with the store's cruelly incompetent psychologist erupts, Kris finds himself held at Bellevue where, in despair, he deliberately fails a mental examination to ensure his commitment. All seems lost until Doris' friend, Fred Gaily, reassures Kris of his worth and agrees to represent him in the fight to secure his release. To achieve that, Fred arranges a formal hearing in which he argues that Kris is sane because he is in fact Santa Claus. What ensues is a bizarre hearing in which people's beliefs are reexamined and put to the test, but even so, it's going to take a miracle for Kris to win. Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O’Hara and John Payne star.

P
oor indoor air quality can not only be uncomfortable, causing residents to experience headaches, dry eyes and nasal congestion, but also can be unhealthy. According to the American Lung Association, poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer and chronic lung diseases, such as asthma. Though it’s not feasible or healthy to open windows when temperatures outside dip to near or below freezing, there are steps everyone can take to improve the indoor air quality in their homes.
• ADD TO YOUR DÉCOR WITH PLANTS. Plants provide both aesthetic and practical appeal to a home’s interior. Houseplants can clean and purify the air in a home, helping to remove formaldehyde, benzene and other toxins that can make indoor air unhealthy to breathe. Benzene is an irritant that can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, and blurred vision, among other side effects. Formaldehyde, which is often

found in homes thanks to its widespread use in a range of products, can cause watery eyes, nausea and wheezing.
Danbury is Home
• WATCH WHAT YOU ARE LIGHTING UP. Many homeowners know that smoking indoors drastically reduces indoor air quality, putting even nonsmokers at heightened risk of developing various respiratory ailments. Homeowners concerned about the indoor air quality in their homes should ban smoking inside, no matter how low temperatures dip outside. In addition, homeowners with wood-burning stoves and fireplaces should be especially diligent maintaining these features, as they can release harmful soot and smoke if they are not taken care of. Some people may also be allergic to incense and scented candles, so keep a watchful eye on residents and guests whenever you light candles or sticks of incense. If any symptoms of allergies appear, avoid lighting any more candles or incense, waiting until you can open the windows if you want to light any again.
• PURCHASE AN AIR PURIFIER. Air purifiers are beneficial year-round, helping to remove allergens and particles from a home. High-efficiency particulate air filters, known as HEPA filters, are extremely effective at removing airborne particulates from the air inside your home.
• PAY ATTENTION TO PETS. Like their owners, pets tend to spend more time indoors during the winter. That means more fur and pet dander, the skin flakes in an animal’s fur or hair that can trigger allergic reactions, is likely in your home during the winter than in the summer. To combat this, bathe your pets regularly in the winter, making sure to wash the animal’s bedding in hot water on a weekly basis as well.

Winter does not typically provide many opportunities to open the windows, but you might get a few chances to let some fresh air in through the windows during winter. Make the most of these opportunities, and when possible crack the windows when you’re cleaning so dust and other particles that kick up have a path outside of your home. Clean interior air should be a year-round priority, but homeowners may have to go the extra mile to keep their homes’ interior air clean when winter arrives.

Old House Handyman:
OLD BARNS, CHURCHES ARE WORTH PRESERVING
By ALAN D. MILLER THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
If you could name your own Top 10 list of most-endangered historic places, what would you include? God’s house and barns. That’s what I’d put on it. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has been making a most-endangered list for 31 years. Many other historic preservation groups have followed it by identifying mostendangered historic structures in their states and cities. It’s a good idea. It draws attention to buildings neglected, overlooked and targeted for demolition in the name of progress. The Columbus Landmarks Society prepares a list each year. My [own] list starts with the American barn. These simple, utilitarian and iconic structures of rural America are disappearing at a record pace. Most of those I’m envisioning are at least a century old. Many are older. Some are falling down, because the barns of old are not well-suited for storing modern farming machinery or for the modern ways of raising and housing farm animals. I can attest that they are challenging to maintain. I also have heard from some farmers that old barns are, in some cases, more valuable for their wood than for any farming purpose. So a growing number of old-barn owners are selling their barns to entrepreneurs who “harvest” the century-old hardwood and sell it for use as flooring, cabinetry, furniture and any number of other uses. Some farmers use the profit to build buildings that serve the needs of modern farmers.
The rural landscape is changing. One barn at a time, we are losing the historic character of rural Ohio. Rural America. If you feel the same way and are interested in helping save Ohio’s iconic barns, learn how you can get involved by visiting the website of the Friends of Ohio Barns at FriendsofOhioBarns.org. The group promotes a number of preservation efforts.
14 | Now & Then
With the rural landscape in mind, the second category of buildings I have on my list is the country church. God’s house and the barn. That’s where I grew up. It’s where many of us grew up. When I was a kid, my grandparents and my great-aunts and uncles all were farmers. And every one of them were members of a version of that old, white church in the country — the one with the steeple and a manually operated bell that called the faithful to worship each Sunday. Close your eyes, and you can see it. If you didn’t attend one as a kid, you passed by dozens of those churches as you drove back roads from one Ohio city to another. They were the centerpieces of their communities — and still are in some cases. But the congregations of many of these churches are dwindling. Some congregations consolidate. Others literally wither and die. The buildings that they and their predecessors — many of them one generation after another of the same families — are falling into disrepair. They are closing. They are being demolished. The best hope for some of those church buildings is that another congregation moves in — or that someone finds other uses for them, such as shops, offices or even homes. The Ohio Historic Preservation Office offers help for those who seek guidance. Its website is at OhioHistory.org/preserve. The preservation group Heritage Ohio also offers resources. God’s house and barns. That’s rural Ohio. It’s where I grew up. It’s where many of us grew up. And it’s disappearing, one barn and one little white church at a time.
CAR TIPS
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE PROJECTS TO KEEP CARS RUNNING SMOOTHLY One of the ways to keep vehicles running strong for years on end is to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Although there are many factors drivers cannot control, including recalls, weather and road conditions, proper maintenance is something drivers can control, and maintaining a vehicle can be very simple.
vehicle is not pulling to one side. A lack of tread on tires requires they be replaced. Because tires can be expensive, many drivers put off routine tire maintenance. But this can be a costly mistake. Tires that are worn or not properly inflated can cause skidding, problems braking and accidents. Blowouts also may occur, putting drivers, their passengers and fellow motorists in danger. It’s best to be proactive with regard to tire maintenance. OIL CHANGES Maintaining a vehicle in adherence to manufacturer guidelines Motor oil lubricates the engine and keeps it in good working can prolong the life of the car, improve its safety and increase its order. Old oil becomes more viscous and can lose its efficacy. trade-in or resale value. While changing motor oil is important, motorists should follow the owner’s manual or the factory maintenance schedule regarding how often it needs to be changed, as all vehicles are not alike. The old myth that cars and trucks need oil changes at set intervals has changed as digital check capabilities have evolved. Car computers can now keep track of more than just mileage. Computers now track starts and stops and trip durations to determine when cars need oil changes.
COOLANT LEVELS
Coolant helps prevent vehicles from overheating and also prevents the water that it mixes with in the radiator from freezing or boiling. Coolant is nearly as important as motor oil in vehicle maintenance. Coolant is typically comprised of a 50/50 mix of distilled water and antifreeze. These two substances work together to maintain a proper ratio of heat energy and prevent eventual breakdown and destruction of the engine. Coolant is usually changed once per year or at 30,000 miles. This keeps the coolant working properly and will help prevent corrosion and deposits from forming inside the cooling system. Coolant levels might be checked during a full-service oil change appointment.

Many modern car batteries do not require a lot of maintenance. However, one problem that may occur is a buildup of minerals or corrosion from leaking battery fluid on the contacts. In such instances, use a battery cleaning brush to clean the contacts and then replace the cables.

RECIPES Entertaining can take on many forms — from elaborate sit-down dinners featuring multiple courses to cocktail parties with passed hors d’oeuvres. Small-bite foods are perfect for holiday parties because they’re portable and allow guests to take their food with them and mingle. Several appetizers enjoyed together can even be a meal. Holiday hosts and hostesses can whip up appetizers with a Southern flair in time for the holidays. Try “Cornbread Blinis” paired with creamy “Divine Crab Spread.”
Cornbread Blinis
Ingredients: ½ ½ 3 1 ½ ½ 1 4 2
cup good quality, stone-ground yellow cornmeal cup all-purpose flour tablespoons sugar teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt cup milk egg, lightly beaten tablespoons butter; 2 tablespoons melted to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or Italian flat-leaf parsley, optional
Directions: 1. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and chives (if using). Stir until just combined. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a hot skillet or griddle. When bubbling, add the batter in tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart. cook the blinis until bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another minute or so, until lightly browned and golden. Remove them to a cooling rack and, if desired, keep warm in an oven heated to its lowest temperature. Use paper towels to wipe away crust giblets or darkened grease from the pan. Repeat the process with more butter and batter. 3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Divine Crab Spread Makes about 3 cups Ingredients: 8 ¼ ¼ 2 1 1 ¼ ¹⁄8 1
ounces whipped cream cheese cup heavy cream or half-and-half cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus thinly sliced lemon wedges for garnish. tablespoons chopped fresh chives or finely sliced green onions, plus whole chives for garnish to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise teaspoon Worcestershire sauce to 1⁄2 teaspoon salt teaspoon hot sauce pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked over for shells
Directions: 1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, chives, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, salt, and hot sauce and stir until smooth. 2. Gently add the crab meat, using a rubber spatula to fold it into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 day. To preserve the freshest flavor, keep the dip in a well-sealed container surrounded by ice in a larger container. Serve it very cold, garnished with lemon wedges and whole chives.
RECIPES Roasting pork requires a watchful eye. If roasted just a few minutes too long, pork can quickly dry out. But in his book “Cooking Slow: Recipes for Slowing Down and Cooking More” (Chronicle Foods), author, teacher and food industry consultant Andrew Schloss notes that immersing pork loin in an oil bath protects it from drying out, resulting in a juicy, delicious meal. Those who want to try this method can whip up Schloss’s recipe for “Slow-Fried Pork Loin in Mustard Oil.”
Slow-Fried Pork Loin in Mustard Oil
Ingredients: 1 1 1 4 1
pork loin, about 3 lbs., trimmed of fat and silver skin tablespoon coarse sea salt teaspoon freshly ground black pepper cups canola oil cup brown mustard seed
Directions: 1 Rub the pork with the salt and pepper. Set
on a rack on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. 2 Preheat the oven to 175 F. 3 Combine the oil and mustard seed in a Dutch oven and place over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 F on a deep-frying thermometer. A wooden chopstick or the
Serves: 6
end of a wooden spoon inserted into the oil will emit bubbles when the oil is at the right temperature. 4 While the oil is heating, remove the pork from the refrigerator. Pat dry. When the oil is up to temperature, turn off the heat. Using tongs, carefully submerge the meat in the hot oil. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook until the pork is 150 F, about 2 hours. 5 Lift the pork from the oil onto a baking sheet to catch any oil drips. Carve the pork across the grain on the diagonal into thin slices. Drizzle with some of the mustard-scented oil and serve.

FLOWER BULBS
T
he arrival of cooler weather marks a prime time to plant bulbs that will bloom come spring and summer. Bulbs should be planted as soon as the ground is cool, ideally when temperatures average between 40 and 50 F. Just be sure to plant bulbs at least six weeks before the ground freezes for optimal success. Always follow the bulb distributor’s guidelines for planting, including suggestions regarding spacing and soil depth. Remove any weeds and loosen the soil to get started. In addition, think about mixing in compost or other organic matter to enrich the soil if it lacks nutrients.
