LOOKING BACK
THEN
NOW
Back in July 1954, members of the Hazel Dell Housekeepers Club are shown in the shelter of the newly renovated Shreve park. The group held its annual picnic there. That month was also the time for the annual Shreve Homecoming in 1954 which was a reunion day for former residents, inviting everyone to return for the festivities. There was a flower show and the Shreve Community band played along with the Old Timers orchestra. Prizes being awarded were placed in the window of the Shreve Hardware.
This year Shreve Swamp Fest (formerly Shreve Homecoming) will kick off on July 13th with the Shreve Supports Our Troops parade at 6pm. Food vendors and activities will open up around 4pm. After the Shreve Supports our Troops Rally, stay for entertainment provided by Triway graduate and Xfactor participant Josh Krajcik at 8:30pm. For the second day, July 14th, fireworks are back this year! Food, inflatables and games open at noon on Saturday with car show registration from 2-6pm, trophies at 6:30pm. Chicken BBQ at the Firehouse starts at 4pm and music by SOBOS starts at 7pm. Xcalibur Pit Training School will present a NASCAR Monster Energy Fan Experience with a pit stop demonstration and fireworks will end the night.

SPECIAL FEATURE
DANIEL GERBER:
A Man of Peace by EDD PRITCHARD GATEHOUSE MEDIA OHIO
In 1961, during his second year of college, Daniel Gerber felt he had a calling. Raised on a family farm east of Kidron, the Dalton High School graduate looked to his Mennonite faith. He believed it was time to serve God in the church’s volunteer service. The Mennonite Central Committee in 1951 had established the Pax Program. Church members believe war is against God’s teachings and they created a program that allowed church members to serve their country as conscientious objectors and help others. Gerber’s older brothers, David and Jim, had served by working at medical facilities in the United States. Daniel Gerber was willing to take an assignment overseas. The Mennonite church loaned Gerber to the Christian and Missionary Alliance, which helped at hospitals, schools and churches worldwide. Gerber boarded a freighter in August 1961 for a month-long sea journey to Vietnam. A man of peace, he was going to a war-torn country. He never returned.

several nurses, including Ruth Wilting, a Cleveland woman. During his eight months in Vietnam, Gerber and Wilting had fallen in love and were planning to marry. Among thousands sent to facilities the Alliance operates around the world, more than 20 have been martyred, but Gerber and the others taken are the only three volunteers classified as missing, said Kristian Rollins, an archivist for the Alliance. It’s been 56 years with no official report. “They’re still technically missing,” Rollins said. When the Vietnam War ended, roughly 2,500 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines were listed as missing in action, as well as more than 40 civilians who were in Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos for business or working as missionaries and journalists. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, in a May 31 report, lists just under 1,600 individuals as unaccounted, with 31 civilians on the list.

A SLICE OF AMERICANA: THE DRIVE-IN MOVIE by RANDY WILSON NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
D
oes anyone remember the “dancing” refreshments at intermission time encouraging you to visit the concession stand or the countdown clock ticking down the minutes until the second feature begins (yes there were always double features), the scratchy sound on the car speaker brought into your car, playing on the swings or even miniature golf before the show, fog-outs, sneaking extra people into the theatre in the trunk of the car, horns blowing when someone accidentally (or on purpose) walked in front of projection booth making shadows on the screen and if you were late, driving without headlights as you worked your way to your parking space after the show started? And don’t forget…pick-up trucks must park in the back row! These and many more are memories of a slice of Americana: the drive-in theatre. The drive-in theater was patented in Camden, New Jersey by chemical company magnate Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr., whose family owned and operated the R.M. Hollingshead Corporation chemical plant in Camden. In 1932, Hollingshead conducted outdoor theater tests in his driveway. After nailing a screen to trees in his backyard, he set a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of his car and put a radio behind the screen, testing different sound levels with his car windows down and up. Blocks under vehicles in the driveway enabled him to determine the size and spacing of ramps so all automobiles could have a clear view of the screen. Hollingshead applied for a patent of his invention on August 6, 1932, and he was given U.S. Patent 1,909,537 on May 16, 1933. Hollingshead's drive-in opened in New Jersey June 6, 1933. It offered 400 slots and a 40 by 50 ft. screen. He advertised his drive-in theater with the slogan, "The whole family is welcome, regardless of how noisy the children are."The first film shown was the Adolphe Menjou film Wife Beware. Failing to make a profit, Hollingshead sold the theater after three years to a Union, New Jersey theater owner who moved the infrastructure to that

city, but the concept caught on nationwide. The 1934, opening of Shankweiler's Auto Park in Orefield, Pennsylvania, was followed by Galveston's Drive-In Short Reel Theater, the Pico Drive-In Theater in Los Angeles and the Weymouth Drive-In Theatre in Weymouth, Massachusetts. In 1937, three more opened in Ohio, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with another 12 during 1938 and 1939 in California, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Texas and Virginia. Early drive-in theaters had to deal with sound issues. The original Hollingshead drive-in had speakers installed on the tower itself which caused a sound delay affecting patrons at the rear of the drive-in's field. In 1935, the Pico Drivein Theater attempted to solve this problem by having a row of speakers in front of the cars. In 1941, RCA introduced in-car speakers with individual volume controls which solved the noise pollution issue and provided satisfactory sound to drive-in patrons. Just prior to World War II, 9 of the 15 drive-in movie theaters open in the United States were operated by Philip Smith, who promoted a family-friendly environment by allowing children to enter free and built playgrounds. The drive-in's peak popularity came in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in rural areas, with some 4,000 drive-ins spread across the United States. Among its advantages was the fact that older adults with children could take care of their infant while watching a movie, while youth found drive-ins ideal for a first date. Revenue is more limited than regular theaters since showings can only begin at twilight. There were abortive attempts to create suitable conditions for daylight viewing such as large tent structures, but nothing viable was developed. During the 1950s, the greater privacy afforded to patrons gave drive-ins a reputation as immoral, and they were labeled "passion pits" in the media. Beginning in the 1970s, many drive-ins changed from family fare to exploitation films, as a way to offset declining patronage and revenue. Also, during the 1970s, some drive-ins began to show pornographic movies in less family-centered time
slots to bring in extra income. This allowed censored materials to be viewed by a wide audience, some for whom viewing was still illegal in many states, and it was reliant upon the whims of local ordinances controlling such material. It also required a relatively remote location distant from populated areas such as towns and cities. During their height, some drive-ins used attention-grabbing gimmicks to boost attendance. They ranged from drawings for prizes and free admission, small airplane runways, unusual attractions such as a small petting zoo or cage of monkeys, personal appearances by actors to open their movies, or musical groups to play before the show. Some drive-ins held Sunday religious services, or charged a flat price per car on slow nights like Wednesdays or Sundays. On "buck" nights during the 1950s and 1960s, the admission price was one dollar per car. One of the largest drive-in theaters was the Johnny All-Weather Drive-In in Copiague, New York. Covering over 29 acres, it could park 2,500 vehicles. It had a full-service restaurant with seating on the roof, and a trolley system to take children and adults to a playground and a large indoor theater for bad weather or for those who wanted to watch in air-conditioned comfort. The shift in content of drive-ins was less of an issue than competition from home entertainment, from color television to VCRs and video rentals. As well, the 1970s energy crisis, led to a sharp decline of attendance, which combined with the widespread adoption of daylight saving time (which made the shows start an hour later). These changes made it harder for drive-ins to operate successfully. Real estate interest rate hikes in the eighties made the large land tracts increasingly expensive, and thus far too valuable for businesses such as drive-ins, which were often open only in the summer months. Drive-ins were also subject to the whim of nature as inclement weather often caused poor attendance or cancellations. Fewer than two hundred drive-ins were in operation in the U.S. and Canada by the late eighties. Since the nineties they have lapsed into a quasi-novelty status with the remaining handful catering to a generally nostalgic audience, with many drive-ins continuing to successfully operate in some areas, mostly on the West Coast. By 2013, drive-ins comprised only 1.5 percent of movie screens in the United States, with 389 theaters in operation. At the industry's height, about 25 percent of the nation's
movie screens were found at a drive-in. Many drive-in movie sites remain, but many have been repurposed to other uses as storage or flea market sites and residential housing as higher value uses came to the lightly populated or unpopulated areas where the drive-ins were located. As of January 2016, a figure of 336 driveins has been published for the United States. Fortunately, we have several Drive-Ins still operating in our immediate area. The Blue Sky in Wadsworth, The Magic City in Barberton, The Lynn in Strasburg and The Springmill Drive-In in Mansfield. So load up the kids and head to one of them for a true nostalgic night at the movies. Most show double features and of course, have full concessions. Does anyone remember The Skylark DriveIn in Holmes County or The Ashland DriveIn in Ashland or The Galion or Midway Drive Ins in Mansfield or The Stark in Massillon or The Creston Auto Theatre in Creston, The Sunset Auto Theatre in Rittman or The Skyline in Wooster? Here’s looking at you kid.

SUMMER HEAT:
Facts & Safety
Days in the sun are meant to be fun but require extreme caution For many people, summertime is synonymous with trips to the beach, water sports and recreation. Even though summer warmth is a welcome break from winter weather for many people, State Farm warns that heat is one of the leading causes of weather-related fatalities, resulting in hundreds of deaths each year in the United States alone. Ensuring summer recreation plans remain enjoyable means keeping an eye out for heat-related illnesses and other dangers.

CAR TIPS
Vehicle Theft
Make your vehicle less vulnerable to theft Vehicle theft is something few people imagine happening to them. Until it does. While many motorists may think technology has done wonders to curb vehicle theft, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that a motor vehicle is stolen every 46 seconds in the United States. Auto theft is sometimes mistaken as a victimless crime. After all, insured motorists are typically reimbursed for stolen vehicles, and drivers whose cars are returned after being stolen can simply submit a claim to have any damages paid for by their insurers. But this characterization of auto theft is untrue, as all motorists, whether their car’s been stolen or not, pay for auto theft. The Insurance Bureau of Canada notes that each year auto theft costs Canadians roughly $1 billion. That figure includes the $542 million insurers pay to fix or replace stolen vehicles each year. Those costs are ultimately passed on to customers, who then indirectly pay for the actions of car thieves. Curbing auto theft is not necessarily the job of drivers, but there are things motorists can do to reduce the

Vehicle theft remains a problem Drivers who live in areas that even as technology has done are vulnerable to auto theft much to prevent it. But drivers may want the peace of mind can take steps to reduce their risk that comes with traditional of being victimized by car thieves. keyed ignition systems instead of the more modern and flashy keyless ignition systems. While vehicles with keyed ignition systems are stolen every day, some thieves may find it easier and quicker Through the years, cars have evolved so much to steal cars or trucks with keyless ignition systems. that certain parts once integral to their operation Thieves can copy keys used in traditional ignition have now become obsolete.

However, present drivers thieves to reprogram keyless ignition systems once can reminisce about how cars have evolved even they’re inside a car. Reprogramming devices are not in the last 20 to 30 years. The following are some legal, but they are available and can be used to shut off once-standard parts and features that have all but automobile alarm systems in a matter of seconds. disappeared from modern vehicles.
Did you know?
• Lock your vehicle at all times. One
of the simplest ways to protect a vehicle from prospective thieves is to always lock the windows and doors, even when you’re inside the vehicle. Auto thieves like things to go quickly and smoothly, and locked doors and rolled up windows only complicate things for thieves. Get in the habit of locking the vehicle when you’re driving, as unlocked doors make it easier for carjackers to surprise unsuspecting motorists.
• Park smart. Some motorists like to park far away so their vehicles are not at risk of being dinged or scratched by inattentive drivers and passengers getting into and out of nearby vehicles. Others may simply not have the patience to find parking spots in well-lit areas close to home or storefronts. But thieves may target vehicles parked nowhere near foot or automobile traffic. Always park in parking garages or other well-lit areas, which deter thieves from breaking in and driving away with your vehicle. • Etch the VIN onto your windows. Car thieves are not in the auto theft business so they can build a fleet of stolen cars. Upon stealing a car, many car thieves head right for a chop shop, which is a place where stolen cars are disassembled and then sold for parts. By etching the VIN, or vehicle identification number, of your car or truck on
• Ashtrays and cigarette lighters:
Smoking-related accessories began to vanish as the dangers of smoking became more apparent. Ashtrays in the dashboard and in the rear armrests are no longer standard.
• Full-sized spare tire: The “doughnuts” of today can be driven on for only limited distances and look awkward on larger vehicles. The full-sized spare enabled drivers to repair the flat tire on their own schedules. • Control knobs: Push buttons and digital dashes have replaced the manual knobs of the past. Levers often enabled drivers to adjust the heat without taking their eyes off the road. • Bench seats: Front bench seats have given way to two seats separated by a center console. No longer is it possible to fit three or four people in the front of a vehicle. • Whip antenna: Remember those thin, flexible antennas? Many modern vehicles feature more solid antennas that can be unscrewed for trips through the carwash or an antenna that is modeled into the car in an inconspicuous way. If drivers exhibit a preference for satellite radio in the years ahead, traditional antennas may soon become obsolete as well. Now & Then

RECIPES
Serve steak alongside a backyard barbecue staple
Grilled Rib-Eye Steak with Mushroom-Shallot Butter and Baked Beans
Ingredients: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1⁄2 cup sliced shallot 1 heaping cup sliced cremini mushrooms 2 large cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 1⁄4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more as needed 4 to 6 steaks (such as rib-eye, New York strip or porterhouse)
Directions: Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook until golden and slightly crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shallot to a clean plate. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the shallot and let cool. In a small bowl, use a rubber spatula to blend the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter with the cooled mushroom mixture until combined. Place the butter in the center of a piece of parchment paper. Bring the edges together and press with your fingers to form the butter into a log. Roll and twist the ends before popping the butter into the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Set the steaks on the counter for 30 minutes to bring them up to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat a

grill or grill pan to medium-high or about 400 F. Season both sides of the steaks with 2 pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Grill each steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and the desired doneness. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the mushroom butter into coins and top each of the steaks with two coins before serving.
Baked Beans Serves 10 2 15-ounce cans navy beans, drained and rinsed 4 slices applewood- or pecan wood-smoked bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup diced yellow onion 11⁄2 cups ketchup 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses 1⁄2 cup packed dark brown sugar 11⁄4 teaspoons ground mustard 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon kosher salt Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the bacon and onion in a medium Dutch oven. Slowly cook over medium heat until the onion is tender and the bacon is cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, molasses, sugar, ground mustard, ground cloves, and 1 cup water to combine. Add the cooked beans and pour the mixture into the pot with the bacon and onion. Stir, cover and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Add the salt and stir. Uncover and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
RECIPES
Green tomatoes not just for the frying pan
Grilled Green Tomato “Sandwiches” with Herbed Cream Cheese Perhaps in part due to the popular 1991 film “Fried Green Tomatoes,” many people are familiar with the Southern United States side dish of the same name. But as proven by the following recipe for “Grilled Green Tomato ‘Sandwiches’ with Herbed Cream Cheese” from Karen Adler and Judith Fertig’s “The Gardener & The Grill” (Running Press), green tomatoes can be even more delicious when grilled than they are when fried.
Ingredients: Herbed Cream Cheese
1 8-ounce package cream cheese at room temperature 1 garlic clove, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
Tomatoes
4 2
large green tomatoes (about 11⁄2 pounds), sliced 3⁄4-inch thick (to make 12 slices) Olive oil, for brushing teaspoons Seasoning Salt (see below) or kosher salt Ground black pepper
Serves 6
Directions:
Prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill. Place a welloiled perforated grill rack over direct heat. In a bowl, blend the cream cheese, garlic, basil, and chives together until smooth. Set aside. Brush the tomato slices with olive oil on both sides and season with seasoning salt and pepper. Place the slices on a baking sheet and bring out to the grill with the bowl of Herbed Cream Cheese and a knife for spreading. Grill all of the tomatoes on one side for about 3 minutes with the lid open, then flip and grill on the other side for 3 minutes more, or until the tomatoes have good grill marks. Remove the tomato slices from the grill and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Spread Herbed Cream Cheese on half of the slices, top with a second slice and set the sandwiches on a platter. Serve the sandwiches hot, with oozing cream cheese filling. Variation: Grill all of the tomato slices as above and top each grilled tomato with a dollop of the cream cheese and serve open-faced.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know? Charcoal grills can remain hot for hours, even long after the flames have extinguished. As a result, charcoal grill users should recognize that their jobs are not done once the burgers, hot dogs and other foods have been removed from the grill. To safeguard against fires resulting from stillhot charcoal grills, grillmasters should avoid moving the grill while the coals are still burning hot. In addition, avoid placing any flammable objects close to the grill while the coals are cooling down. Potentially combustible items should also be kept far away from charcoal grills, ideally in locations where gusts of wind cannot blow them toward the grill. Charcoal grill owners can also inspect the metal grates on their grills to make sure they are not rusted. Damaged or rusted grates can make it possible for items to fall down onto surfaces below the grate, increasing the risk of fire. Another way for charcoal grill users to make using their grills more safe is to avoid the use of starter fluid or other igniters once the coals have been ignited. Doing so only increases the risk of fire or accident and is unlikely to help the coals maintain a strong flame that lasts long enough to cook foods quickly.
