Circa 1920 The Orrville Train Station

Union Depot

Orrville was originally founded as a fuel and water stop on the Ohio & Pennsylvania Railroad as it built west from Allegheny City (now part of Pittsburgh) to Crestline, Ohio. The railroad was merged into the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway, and then into the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). Around 1852, the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus Railroad also came through Orrville. It became part of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago

Now:

The Orrville Train Depot (PFW&C), which in turn became a part of the PRR in 1869.

The Orrville Union Station was built by the PRR at the junction of the PFW&C and the CA&C in 1868. It replaced the original depot, located at Main Street, which was destroyed by fire. The junction was a busy transfer point with freight and passengers being transferred between the two railroads. In 1899, PRR bought the CA&C and Orrville became a terminal. The CA&C had terminal with a yard and roundhouse in Orrville.

OHIO REFERENDUM HAS NO EFFECT, SAYS JUDGE

PROTESTS FROM LABOR COMING

January 28,1920

San Francisco, Jan.28—California wine interests today lost in their legal fight against the 18th constitutional amendment, when Judge Frank H. Rudkin of the federal district court denied a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of J.J. Dillon…truck driver arrested while transporting liquor here after January 16.

This was said to be the first test of the national prohibition amendment in the country.

“I am of the opinion,” said Judge Rudkin,”that the amendment in form and substance was entirely within the competency of Congress to ratify, and that both the amendment and the national prohibition act were in full force and effect on the day in question.”

The Wooster Daily Record, Friday, January 30, 1920

DECLARES THE PAPER STORAGE CRITICAL

Washington, D.C., Jan.30—Voluntary reduction of news print consumption by publishers is the primary remedy of the paper shortage., Chairman Colver of the Federal Trade Commission said today before the House Ways and Means committee. Publishers of big papers, despite agreements among themselves, have not practiced the economy that is necessary,” he added.

“The publishers must realize that they are consuming more than is or can be produced,” said Mr. Culver.

The contract price, he declares, averaged 4 ¼ cents, and the current market price is about nine cents. The cost of producing paper on April 1, 1918, was 3 4/5 cents a pound, but has “increased materially” since then, Mr. Colver said.

No increase in production to equal the increase in consumption was in sight.

“Consumption in the country is greater than supply,” Mr. Colver said,” and the stocks which are very, very slender are steadily decreasing.”

Albany, Jan.31—Labor organization representatives of practically every city in the state will meet here this afternoon to protest the suspension of the five Socialist assembly men investigation of whom will take up at least another week’s time of the assembly judiciary committee.

Three Syracuse Socialists, Charles W. Steen, Frank L. Preston and William Hotz , recently convicted under the espionage law by a federal prosecution, will be on hand Tuesday morning when the hearings in the inquiry are resumed. They have been called to testify for the state.

At least one of the three or four days the committee will sit at next week will be taken up with the introduction of evidence ranging over a wide field of socialistic endeavor.

The proceedings late yesterday took the committee through England, France, Russia and the greater part of the U.S. while workings of the socialist was spread up on the records.

SEISMOGRAPHS SCENT A REAL EARTHQUAKE

Chicago ,Feb.2—The most violent earth disturbances in many months have been in progress since 5:42 o’clock this morning.

At that hour the seismograph of the University of Chicago began recording what observers describe as the “most violent oscillations” recorded this year.

The disturbances still continue, but the distance has not yet been estimated, although believed to be considerable.

Washington, Feb 2—Violent disturbances were indicated on the seismograph at the Georgetown University beginning at 6:21 this morning and continuing until 9:05. A member of the faculty who is an earthquake expert stated that the seismograph record showed disturbances greater than any registered for many months.

“The disturbances are severe, but I should not say alarming,” he said.

“This is the time—the winter months—when the heaviest disturbances are apt to occur.”

Benny decided to buy a present for his Uncle Sam’s birthday, so with his older brother’s help he bought a present, gift wrapped it, and brought it over to his uncle. His uncle, knowing that Benny’s father manufactured apple juice, and seeing a wet spot on the bottom corner of the box, decided to have some fun with Benny by trying to guess what was in the box. “Hmm” said Uncle Sam, dipping his finger on the wet spot and taking a quick taste, “I’m going to guess it’s a case of apple juice.”“No” said Benny jumping up and down clearly enjoying the game. “Not apple juice?” Said Uncle Sam clearly surprised. After another quick taste and a brief pause he guessed again “is it apple cider?”“No,” said Benny practically squealing in excitement “IT’S A PUPPY!”

A Tribute to

Movie Mothers Mother’s Day goes way back to the ancient Greeks and Romans...

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that Mother’s Day in America was to be held on the second Sunday in May as a holiday for Mothers.

by Randy Wilson Now & TheN Contributor

others

have been important figures in the movies for many years, and Hollywood has shown us all kinds of mother/daughter and mother/ son relationships throughout those years. Even Al Jolson was singing about his Mammy in The Jazz Singer —the first talking picture!

Let’s remember Mama with a look at some of my personal favorite movie moms available on DVD. Our first mom, Irene Dunne, stars as the mother everyone would love in the 1948 film I Remember Mama. This sweet and heartfelt film is the story of an immigrant family in 1910 San Francisco. Directed by George Stevens, Dunne gives a captivating performance in this touching drama.

If you enjoy that film, you’ll also want to check out the 1945 film A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Dorothy McGuire is splendid as the mother of an Irish family facing hardships of living in a turn-ofthe-century Brooklyn tenement. Directed by Elia Kazan, this is a four-star film.

James Dean gives an affecting and sincere performance as a rebel with a cause in the Elia Kazan 1955 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

4 | Now & Then

mother. Jo Van Fleet won an Oscar for her portrayal of Dean’s bitter mom.

Barbara Stanwyck gives one of her best performances as a social-climbing mother from the wrong side of the tracks in the 1937 film Stella Dallas. Stella dreams of a new life for her daughter, until she realizes what stands between her daughter and her dreams is Stella Herself. This film is a memorable and heartbreaking tale of a mother’s love and ultimate sacrifice— with one of Hollywood’s greatest finales. The film was remade in 1990 with Bette Midler as Stella, but the original King Vidor version is still the best.

In another famous mother-daughter relationship, Joan Crawford won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Mildred Pierce, a woman who will do anything to satisfy the demands of her spoiled daughter. Mildred devotes her whole life to her two daughters, especially the talented Veda. When her neglected husband turns to another woman, Mildred opens a successful restaurant. But Veda’s selfishness gets out of hand, forcing both mother and daughter to face tragic consequences. 1945’s Mildred Pierce was Crawford’s first role after leaving MGM as was the role she liked best. The film, directed by Michael Curtiz, also features Eve Arden and Butterfly McQueen, and is my personal favorite classic mom movie.

Jimmy Cagney’s intense performance highlights the 1949 film White Heat, a classic underworld drama about ruthless killer Cody Jarrell—he with the headaches and the mother fixation—and the cop determined to put him away. “Made it, Ma. Top of the world!”

Cary Grant received his only two Oscar nominations for dramas (iconic given all the comedies he made). One of them was for his role as a drifter who returns home to look after his dying mother in the 1944 film None But the Lonely Heart. Ethel Barrymore won an Oscar as Grant’s mother.

Imitation of Life, the 1959 classic with Lana Turner, Juanita Moore, John Gavin, Susan Kohner and Sandra Dee, is arguably the best of the ‘50s soap operas. This second screen version of Fanny Hurst’s novel stars Turner and Moore as, respectively, an ambitious actress and her self-sacrificing black maid, who each find difficulty in raising their teen-age daughters. Dee and Kohner are the troublesome offspring. Moore and Kohner are standouts in this four-hanky tearjerker with the most famous funeral in the movies.

Who could ever forget the classic 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho? Anthony Perkins made his mark with a jagged-edge portrait of mild-mannered hotel proprietor Norman Bates in this classic shocker that had everyone checking behind the shower curtain and tainted the reputations of taxidermists and loving sons! “But he wouldn’t even hurt a fly…would he.”

Ernest Borgnine won the Best Actor Oscar for 1955’s Marty.

The last of six children at home with an overbearing Italian mother, the only child unmarried, 34 year old socially awkward Bronx butcher Marty faces middle age with no prospects of marriage, and he faces permanent bachelorhood. But when he is goaded by his mother into going to the Starlight Ballroom on Saturday night, Marty unexpectedly meets Clara, a lonely school teacher. Suddenly, Marty’s future seems bright. Marty also took home Best Picture of 1955, Adapted Screenplay for Paddy Chayefsky and Director for Delbert Mann.

Another classic mother/son relationship is the 1959 film Suddenly Last Summer. Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn each received Oscar nominations for best actress in this gripping adaptation of Tennessee Williams play. Beautiful Catherine Holly (Taylor) is committed to a mental institution after witnessing the horrible death of her cousin. Catherine’s aunt, Violet Venable (Hepburn), tries to influence Dr. Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift), a young neurosurgeon, to surgically end Catherine’s haunting hallucinations. By utilizing injections of sodium Pentothal, Dr. Cukrowicz discovers Catherine’s delusions are in fact true. He then must confront Violet about her own involvement in her son’s lurid death.

Then there’s the 1981 Faye Dunaway film Mommie Dearest, based upon Christina Crawford’s best-selling book. The public Joan Crawford was a strong-willed, glamorous object of admiration, but this movie reveals the private Crawford, the woman desperate to be a mother.

Perhaps the worst mother/daughter relationship since Joan and Christina is Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie in 1976’s Carrie.

Brian DePalma’s chilling adaptation of the Stephen King novel tells the story of a mousey high school girl taunted by classmates.

Spacek stared as Carrie and Laurie as her Bible-thumping mother.

Both were nominated for Oscars for their roles in this picture.

Terms of Endearment, the 1983 Best Picture Oscar winner, has Shirley MacLaine as the mother , Debra Wenger as the spunky

daughter and Jack Nicholson as the ex-astronaut next door with all the wrong stuff. This film is a sensitive, funny and touching story of the relationship between a mother and daughter.

Ellen Burstyn won an Oscar for her bravura performance in 1974’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, a touching, sometimes humorous and sensitive character study of one woman’s personal liberation. After her husband dies and leaves her penniless, Alice, with her young son Tommy, moves to Phoenix, where she attempts to survive on her own, both emotionally and financially. Wonderful supporting roles include Cheryl Ladd as Flo, Jodie Foster as Tommy’s young friend and Vic Tayback as Mel. Kris Kristofferson is at his best as Alice’s love interest.

An overlooked mom movie is 1993’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape a beautifully shot movie full of tenderness, caring and self-awareness. Centered around the Grape family Ellen and Amy and their two brothers Arnie (Leonardo Dicaprio) and Gilbert (Johnny Depp), who, along with their morbidly obese widowed mother Bonnie Grape are striving to survive and coexist with the absence of a father figure. Gilbert has to care for his mentally disabled brother Arnie and his mother, all of which is challenged when love walks into his life.

Then there’s Steel Magnolias with Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah and Tom Skeritt. A fine cast is featured in this heart rendering, sentimental and funny comedy-drama. The story centers on the friendship of six women in a small Louisiana town who meet periodically at the local beauty shop. Field heads this terrific cast as mother of newlywed Roberts whose marriage is much of the focus of the film. MacLaine is hilarious as the town curmudgeon; and Dukakis is splendid as the gossipy town matriarch.

Finally, how could we forget Bambi, Disney’s critically acclaimed coming-of-age story that has thrilled and entertained generations. This movie could actually be both a “mom” movie or a “dad” movie but either way, you’ll be “twitterpated”!

Explore your home entertainment source to find these and many more “mom” movies. You’ll find them in just about every category there is.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

National Train Day

Celebrates

Past and Present

May 11 is National Train Day, ...so let us celebrate the train, especially as it pertains to American life.

Before trains, this country was a sliver of meandering ports, and travel on horseback was painfully slow. People were largely confined to their immediate locales. Not only did the advent of the railroad open access to new lands, it opened new markets and virtually created new towns and cities. Trains captured the imagination of Americans, both for their adventure-inspiring nature and for their innate functionality.

One historian calls the railroad “the most fundamental innovation in American material life.” Pointing out that is was our first major industry, he also asserts that it made every other industry possible—coal, steel, flour milling, commercial farming—and also worked hand in hand with the telegraph to transform communication (Albro Martin, Railroads Triumphant, 1992). Between 1830 and the early 1900’s more than 200,000 miles of track emerged , uniting far-flung parts of the country, boosting economic development, and catalyzing America’s rise to world-power status (Christian Wolmar, The Great Railroad Revolution, 2012) What is a train? It is a separate locomotive or individual motors in a self-propelled multiple units. Steam propulsion dominated historically, but diesel and electric became more common. Trains could also be hauled by horses, pulled by engine or water-driven cable or wire winch, run downhill using gravity or powered by pneumatics, gas turbines or batteries (Wikipedia). Steam locomotives are still used in heritage railways which are operated for the leisure and train enthusiast market.

There are passenger trains and freight trains and sometimes a mixed consist. Passenger trains contain passenger-carrying vehicles, whereas freight trains use freight cars (or wagons/trucks). Most freight today is indeed carried by rail which is highly economical for large amounts of cargo and long distances.

Freighthopping is when an individual boards either by sneaking into a train yard and stowing away in a boxcar or by catching a train on the fly while it is moving. Railroads treat it as trespassing and may prosecute it as such.

Local Railroads Stations are still active in Orrville and Rittman (2). Stations of the past include multiple communities throughout the county.

Electric trains captured the imaginations of locals in Wooster at the start of the 20th century. Called the Interurban and sometimes The Green Line because of its green box cars, it could transport people to all of northeast Ohio and back again the same day. “The Interurban ran through a variety of parks, showing the highlight of rural Ohio to urban travellers, and gave rural folk a chance to visit the big city without having to completely relocate” (http;//woosterhistory.org/exhibits/show/rr/rrinterurban).

It

10 | Now & Then

started in 1902 and saw its demise in 1929 as busses and automobiles became more prevalent and cheap.

Shreve had its beginning with the coming of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1853. A depot was built on the east side of N. Market Street and a large shed for housing wood for locomotives was built on the west side. This was later moved to its present location.

In 1851 the railroad came to Orrville by way of Judge Orr making a deal for including a water tower with it. He then entered a partnership to start a saw mill to furnish wood for the steam engines. According to the city’s website, Orrville's growth and prosperity was tied closely to the growth of the railroad.

Wayne County currently has over 100 miles of active rail within its borders providing local industry “with a cost-effective means of accessing raw materials and transporting product” (http://waynecountyedc.com/ location/rail-service/).

Despite the viability of local rail—Ohio is a premier intermodal freight hub with 13 facilities distributed across the state and with Wayne County located within close proximity of three of them—railroads have diminished in greatness. Discontinuation of mail transport by the US. Postal Service, the emphasis on freight (as opposed to passenger service), the lack of comparable government subsidies compared to that for highways and air transport, financial losses, and technological advances for autos, highway and air all have contributed to the decline of the Railway Age. In addition, the politics surrounding the development of the railroads were complex and deleterious: “The transcontinental railroads of the late nineteenth century were the first corporate behemoths. Their attempts to generate profits from proliferating debt sparked devastating panics in the U.S. economy. Their dependence on public largess drew then into the corridors of power, initiating new forms of corruption. Their operations rearranged space and time, and remade the landscape of the West. As wheel and rail, car and coal, they opened new worlds of work and ways of life. Their discriminatory rates sparked broad opposition and a new antimonopoly politics”(David C. Nice. Amtrak: The History and Politics of a National Railroad, 1998).

The grand past of railroading remains fresh in the minds of Americans, and with good reason. Celebrate National Train Day by making a visit to the Orrville train depot on May 11 from noon till 4 p.m. They are having an open house and focusing on the 150th year anniversary of the driving of the golden spike in Utah. That was a monumental event in the transcontinental Railroad.

There will be a presentation from one of the members who has visited the site.

There will also be running model trains of all gauges, a make-it take-it for the kids, and free admission to the museum that day. The Depot is located at 145 Depot Street with parking behind the building. 330-683-2426

Health

questions

to ask

when your doctor

prescribes a new

medicine Though few people may want to take medicine each day, prescription drugs prolong lives and help people manage conditions that might otherwise make it difficult to live life to the fullest.

A 2017 survey from Consumer Reports found that 55 percent of people living in the United States take a prescription medicine. The survey also found that those who take prescription drugs use an average of four such medications. That figure might alarm some people, especially aging seniors whose bodies might be more susceptible to conditions that are often treated with medication.

There’s no denying that prescription drugs can save lives.

But patients have a right to explore their options when doctors prescribe them medications, and asking the right questions when doctors suggest medication can help men and women decide if prescription medicine is their best option.

To help seniors make the best decisions regarding healthcare, the National Institute on Aging advises people to ask their physicians these questions when being prescribed a new medicine.

• What is the name of the medicine, and why am I taking it?

• Which medical condition does this medicine treat?

• How many times a day should I take the medicine, and at what times should I take it?

• If the prescription instructions say the medicine must be taken “four times a day,” does that mean four times in 24 hours or four times during the daytime?

• How much medicine should I take?

• Should I take the medicine on its own or with food?

Should I avoid certain foods and beverages when taking this medicine?

• How long will it take this medicine to work?

• Will this medicine cause problems if I am taking other medicines?

• Can I safely operate a motor vehicle while taking this medication?

• What does “as needed” mean?

• When should I stop taking the medicine?

• What should I do if I forget to take my medicine?

• Can I expect any side effects?

What should I do if I have a problem?

• Will I need a refill, and how do I arrange that?

When discussing medications with a physician, it’s imperative that men and women be forthcoming about any other medicines they might be taking under the guidance of other doctors. In addition, men and women should tell their physicians about any over-the-counter medicines or vitamins and supplements they are taking. Sharing such information can prevent potentially serious complications from arising.

Medicine saves lives every day. Smart patients can help medicine do its job by learning about their medications and discussing them openly and honestly with their physicians.

Recipes Warmer temperatures on the weekend means hosts tasked with cooking dinner might be able to expand their culinary horizons and avoid the stove. Though they might not have considered it before, hosts might want to fire up their smokers to give their families something delicious and different to dine on. If the weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse, electric smokers can typically be used indoors, but check the manufacturer’s instructions to confirm that.

This recipe for “Pork Loin Roast with Hot Pepper Jelly Glaze” from Karen Putman and Judith Fertig’s Championship BBQ Secrets for Real Smoked Food (Robert Rose) is a great way to take advantage of warmer weather while still ensuring everyone has a full belly by the end of the meal.

Pork Loin Roast with Hot Pepper Jelly Glaze

Ingredients:

1 boneless pork loin roast (about 2 lbs.)

4 cups apple juice ½ cup Brown Sugar Rib Rub (see below) 1 cup hot pepper jelly Additional apple juice for spraying

Directions: 1. Rinse pork under cold running water and pat dry. Place in a large sealable plastic bag and pour in apple juice. Seal bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.

2. Remove pork from marinade and pat dry. Discard marinade.

Sprinkle dry rub over the surface of the meat, coating evenly. Set aside.

3. Prepare a fire in your smoker.

4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt hot pepper jelly over medium-low heat. Keep warm by the smoker.

5. Place pork directly on the smoker rack, add wood to the coals and close the lid. Smoke at 225 F to 250 F, spraying with apple juice every 30 minutes, for 2 hours. Brush with

Serves: 4 to 6

hot pepper jelly, close the lid and smoke, spraying with apple juice every 30 minutes, for 1 to 11⁄2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pork registers 160 F for medium, or until desired doneness. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Brown Sugar Rib Rub: Makes about 31⁄2 cups

2 cups packed dark brown sugar or granulated maple sugar ½ cup fine kosher or sea salt ¼ cup sweet Hungarian paprika ¼ cup chili powder ¼ cup ground lemon pepper ¼ cup granulated garlic 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions: In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, paprika, chili powder, lemon pepper, garlic, black pepper, basil, and thyme.

Mother’s Day is a great chance for men, women and children to honor the special women in their lives. Delicious homemade treats can show mothers just how much they’re appreciated and adored. Try this tasty recipe for “Cold Mango Soufflés Topped with Toasted Coconut” from The Complete Mexican, South American & Caribbean Cookbook (Metro Books) by Jane Milton, Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli.

Cold Mango Soufflés Topped With Toasted Coconut

Ingredients: 4 2 1 2 ½ ½ 1¼

small mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped tablespoons water tablespoon powdered gelatine egg yolks cup superfine sugar cup milk cups heavy cream Grated rind of one orange Toasted flaked or coarsely shredded coconut, to decorate

Directions: 1 Place a few pieces of mango in the base of each of

four 2⁄3-cup ramekins. Wrap a creased collar of nonstick parchment paper around the outside of each dish, extending well above the rim. Secure with adhesive tape, then tie tightly with string.

Makes 4

2 Pour the water into a small heatproof bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over the surface. Leave for 5 minutes or until spongy. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water, stirring occasionally, until the gelatine has dissolved.

3 Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the superfine sugar and milk in another heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and frothy. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture cools. Whisk in the liquid gelatine.

4 Puree the remaining mango pieces in a food processor or blender, then fold the puree into the egg yolk mixture with the orange rind. Set the mixture aside until starting to thicken.

5 Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Reserve 4 tablespoons and fold the rest into the mango mixture. Spoon into the ramekins until the mixture is 1 inch above the rim of each dish. Chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until set.

6 Carefully remove the paper collars from the soufflés. Spoon a little of the reserved cream on top of each soufflé and decorate with some toasted flaked or coarsely shredded coconut.

Monthly tree walks feature all things trees!

Secrest Arboretum paints the landscape

Join these free and informative walks. A variety of topics are covered, including proper selection and planting, insect pests and diseases. Please dress for the weather. No reservations required. Repeats every month on March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November on the second Wednesday until Wed Nov 13 2019. 1:00pm to 02:00pm.

The April Tree Walk took walkers to over a dozen trees, only one of which was in bloom, the star magnolia. The challenge for this tree is to make it through early spring freezes because blooms can get damaged and don’t recover. They get up to 2030 feet tall and are multi-stemmed. The rest of the trees were budding in various stages.

The first tree viewed on this walk was the Eastern (weeping) Redbud also called the Lavender Twist (trademark) Redbud. A red maple was viewed second, in which it was explained that there are both male and female parts within the same plant. Some plants have perfect flowers (male and female parts in the same flower), while others have separate male and female plants.

Some plants even change their gender. Exfoliating bark was the primary feature of the river birch, examined next. This tree thrives in wet areas; it can tolerate low levels of oxygen. It drops a lot of sticks, but it is resistant to the bronze birch borer. It has catkins (a flowering spike of trees. Catkins are typically downy, pendulous, composed of flowers of a single sex, in this case male, and wind-

pollinated).

A dawn redwood planted in 2011 was viewed: a lot of dawn redwoods were planted in the fifties all around Wooster after the trees being discovered to be still in existence in China in the thirties. There are no flowers on this tree; they are deciduous conifers and will mature to 70-100 feet, 15-25 feet at base. tiny little cones of mature dawn redwoods The eastern red cider was on display, which is a juniper. It is the alternate host for cedar apple rust, however the lowgrowing selections (like Grey Owl) are resistant to the rust fungus. There were bagworms on this tree. Bagworms are a drab moth, the caterpillar and flightless female of which live in a portable protective case constructed out of plant debris. They can do considerable damage to a tree, including killing it. This cocoon had been invaded by a wasp which laid eggs which upon hatching ate the moth from the inside out.

A cornelian cherry dogwood which was planted on the

Local Feature grounds is an early spring bloomer. It has few insect or pest problems and makes a good street tree. It has edible fruit (sour) which can be used to make jelly.

It was obvious that deer liked the quaking aspen, with bark missing. These trees have catkins aspen bud The eastern redbud was not in bloom yet either, but the guide explained that in a few weeks it would have bright neon pink flowers.

Crabapple trees, like other trees, are unpredictable as to when they will bloom, but their flowers can last as little as a few days to a couple of weeks, but usually one week. The European hornbean tree is also known as ironwood. The bald cypress have tiny little cones, but tons of pollen. The Ohio buckeye has beautiful red buds, and the red horse chestnut has pink flowers ultimately.

Paul Snyder, program coordinator, gave the tour.

After the walking tree tour, in a private interview, Curator Jason Veil pointed out that the arboretum was created in the land grant university tradition, the mission of which is to do research, education and outreach. Secrest is the public face of OARDC, so the staff has the added responsibility of creating a beautiful place. “We are a library of living organisms, a slowmoving zoo,” said Veil, “and we want to bring that to life.”

The Great Adventure Race, formerly known as the Urban Challenge, will be held this year on June 15th. It is in its second year. Community members will have the opportunity to participate in a mystery run that will jointly benefit the YMCA and the Viola Startzman Clinic. “Part of the fun of it,” says Y CEO Gwen Sommer, “is not knowing the starting point ahead of time.” Last year participants assembled at the Wooster High School, but then were bussed off to Orrville to start the race.

The race is an all day event that challenges the participants both physically and mentally. Participants arrive with their bike and their running shoes and really no knowledge of what the day has in store for them. The race planning committee is busy planning a new adventure for this year's race. All proceeds from this race go directly to scholarship kids at the YMCA and help provide medical care at Viola Startzman Clinic.
