PENNSYLVANIA R.R. DEPOT, WOOSTER Wooster’s railroad depot, once located at the east end of Liberty Street just past where it bends to cross the tracks onto Pittsburg Avenue is shown above in all its glory shortly after the turn of the century. The structure was destroyed in the late 1970’s as a result of a train derailment that irreparably damaged it. The railroad first came to Wooster in 1852, although the depot wasn’t built until later on.

The location of the old depot is now a parking lot.

Local NewsSEPTEMBER 28, Local authorities believed they had broken up a liquor ring with the arrest of Marshallville farmer, Peter Notch. W.H. Byers and D.B. Mehaffie of Barberton identified Notch as the man who made the “potato whiskey” they were caught selling to Richard Russell in Burbank the previous night. Notch was arrested even though a search of his farm revealed no whiskey or still.

SEPTEMBER 25, 1912 William Grimes’ second attempt “to sever his relation as the guest of Sheriff Van Nest” in the Wayne County Jail was thwarted. Grimes, who was awaiting trial for allegedly stealing a motorcycle, used a hook fashioned from a broomstick and wire to remove a saw that was hanging on a wall near his cell. Workers returned from lunch and noticed the saw handle on the floor, they notified the sheriff. After initially denying any involvement, Grimes confessed, saying that he hid the saw above the sliding door of his cell.

Wooster Jazz Fest

September, 1911a.m. to 7 p.m.

On The Downtown Square

I have enjoyed supporting the Wooster Arts Jazz Fest for many years. The event, with its four partners, Main Street Wooster, Wayne Center for the Arts, the Wooster City Schools and Wooster Rotary, all join together to celebrate the arts, for the community, in wonderful downtown Wooster. The event is volunteer driven and the proceeds are then given back to the community through art and event activities that are implemented by the four organizations. Come enjoy the artists, the children’s art activities, the music, the New Orleans parade!

Snack Foods that promote A better sleep

A ccording to the National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people experience difficulty

falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age, and that difficulty can make men and women over 50 feel more tired during the day.

But even though difficulty sleeping may be a part of aging, that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping patterns. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physicians before making any changes to their diets, the AARP notes that the following are a handful of snack foods that promote better sleep.

• ALMONDS: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night’s sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be enough to make falling and staying asleep easier.

• BANANAS: Much like almonds, bananas provide a substantial amount of magnesium. Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which many people associate with Thanksgiving turkey. While tryptophan might be most often associated with the sleepiness people feel after eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep.

• CHEESE AND CRACKERS: One more traditional snack may just help you get a better night’s sleep. Cheese and crackers contain tryptophan and carbohydrates, which can induce a better night’s sleep and help you fall asleep sooner.

• CHERRIES: Cherries contain the sleep hormone melatonin, and the AARP notes that recent studies indicated that participants who drank tart cherry juice on a daily basis fell asleep more quickly and slept longer and better than participants who did not.

• HUMMUS: The primary ingredient in hummus is chickpeas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and

vitamin B6. Folate has proven especially beneficial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep patterns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock.

• PEANUT BUTTER: Peanut butter is another snacking item loaded with tryptophan. Spread some peanut butter on a carbohydrate, whether it’s a slice of toast or some crackers, before going to bed, and you may enjoy a better, longer sleep.

WALNUTS: Like cherries, walnuts contain melatonin, which can contribute to a longer, more restful night’s sleep. Walnuts also can help regulate stress, which is a leading cause of sleeping difficulty.

Many men and women experience difficulty sleeping as they age. But the right foods may just help combat such problems and help men and women get a more adequate night’s sleep.

Story & Photos by KATE MINNICHNOW & THEN WRITER & DESIGNER

The Hungarian pastry and coffee shop, Tulipan, has been owned and operated by Elizabeth Lakatos in downtown Wooster for more than a decade. Elizabeth admits that opening a pastry shop was never an aspiration driving her life, she pursued a lot of different things but always enjoyed being the hostess. She never minded cooking for people. Encouraged by a friend, Lajos Mezosi, Elizabeth decided to implement her love of baking into a career and opened Tulipan around Christmas of 2004.

When Tulipan opened, Elizabeth’s family was completely behind her. Daughter, Lilly, was in California when the idea became real for Elizabeth. Upon hearing the idea, Lilly told her mother she would come back to Wooster and help run the place. Elizabeth’s husband

has always been supportive in everything she sets out to accomplish and this endeavor was no exception. Another relative is also in the food industry and offers Elizabeth advice from time to time.

Originally from Hungry, Elizabeth presents her heritage through her baked goods. The inside of Tulipan harkens to a cafe with its brick walls and black metal chairs, but the display cases and the amazing smell of baking goods, add a taste of Hungry. When the shop first opened it was strictly pastries and coffee, Elizabeth had chosen 35 of the most Hungarian representative recipes and family favorites.

In addition to the cases containing the delicious wares another display case features authentic Hungarian pottery and wedding cookies. The presented pottery,

Page 9: Now & Then, September 2015

while not for sale, offers a rainbow of color against the white frosted cookies that show the artistry of Hungarian

baking. Open faced sandwiches created

after the European fashion and breakfast options have been added to the menu over the years. Customers can chose sandwiches containing seafood, meat and/or cheese on Tulipan’s whole wheat bread. Spreads, fresh vegetables and gourmet garnishes are also available.

Breakfast options were expanded beyond the pastries because as Elizabeth explains, “sometimes you want something not so sweet” in the morning. Omelet platters offer a Hungarian style breakfast with a choice of side salad and bread.

The omelets are not the folded bit of egg you would receive at an American restaurant, Elizabeth’s are baked in the oven, rolled out and served in slices. Containing various cheeses, vegetables and meats, the omelets provide a light but filling experience. Breakfast and lunch options are offered all day.

After receiving inquires from customers about adding soup to the menu, Elizabeth pulled out some Hungarian soup recipes and has found it to be a good addition to her offerings.

Tulipan offers a variety of options for catered occasions. Whether your party is small or large, the right dessert can always be found at the pastry shop. Choose from Strudel, Hungarian Tea Cake, Vanilla Crescents, Kifle

and so much more. Appetizer trays, sandwiches and coffee or tea are also available for catered events.

Elizabeth’s ambition for Tulipan has always been to run the shop well and keep everything of an authentic quality. She loves her heritage and wants to introduce it to people through the best means that she knows how. Between four to eight employees work in the shop, several of whom have been local college students. Employees quickly learn the fast pace business and how to interact with customers in a pleasant manner. While much of the baking is done at the shop by Elizabeth and Lilly, her partner Lajos works at an off site location with large ovens and baking equipment to support all of Tulipan’s needs.

Tulipan is located on South Market Street just off the main square. The shop is open Monday through Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hours are extended during the summer and for special downtown events. Visit www.tulipanhungarianpastry.com for more information. Drop in for a cup of coffee and pastry or stay for a meal to experience authentic hungarian delicacy.

Rather than heading to the pharmacy for solutions to common ailments, a majority of people may be able to stop at the nearest pet store or animal shelter and find a finned or furry remedy instead.

Any pet can try a person’s patience at times, especially when a kitty has used a sofa as a scratching post or when a pooch needs to be let into the yard at 3 a.m. But for many pet owners, the benefits of having a pet far outweigh the negatives. Here are some of the many ways that pet ownership can be good for your health.

* LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE: Petting a dog or cat can lower blood pressure, as can watching a fish swim around a tank. Those with hypertension may want to purchase or adopt a companion animal to help lower their blood pressure.

* REDUCE STRESS: Stress is something people face on a daily basis. According to a National Health Interview Survey, 75 percent of the general population experiences at least “some stress” every two weeks, and many times that stress is moderate to severe. Research has indicated that when people spend time with a pet their levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, is lowered while their level of serotonin, a hormone associated with improved mood and well-being, is increased.

* LOWER CHOLESTEROL: Lifestyle factors associated with pet ownership, particularly a focus on increased physical health and activity, can help lower cholesterol levels. Also, having a pet works to reduce stress, which may keep individuals from looking to fatty foods as sources of alleviating anxiety.

* FIGHT DEPRESSION: Many therapists have prescribed pet therapy as a method to alleviating and recovering

from depression. A pet is an unconditional friend and can provide that listening ear a person needs to talk through problems. Also, walking and taking care of a pet devotes attention away from problems and inward thinking.

* IMPROVE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS: Heading to the gym is one way to get a workout, but spending an hour walking the dog or tossing around a ball for a game of chase and fetch is another way to get the heart pumping. Many dog owners benefit from the “forced” exercise that goes with daily walks. Some people choose to exercise with their pets, enjoying the companionship and the physical activity.

*REDUCE STROKE INCIDENCES: There has been evidence that cat owners are less likely to suffer strokes than people who do not have cats. Researchers are not sure of the connection, but surmise that cats have a more calming nature than other types of pets.

* GREATER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIALIZATION: Humans are social animals and need to interact with others. Pet owners have a tendency to want to share time and experiences with other pet owners. Pets can provide opportunities for people to get together.

Research presented at the 10th International Conference on Human Animal Interaction found pet owners were the least likely to have to visit the doctor. The survey of more than 11,000 respondents from Australia, China and Germany found that over a five-year period pet owners made 15 to 20 percent fewer annual visits to the doctor than non-pet owners.

The companionship and love pets provide could be a key benefit in promoting good personal health.

Story by KATE MINNICHNOW & THEN WRITER & DESIGNER

Rita Shisler is a name often associated with Shisler’s Cheese, but her name and influence has spread past her store and throughout the state. Rita receives her greatest joy when she is helping others, whether that be in her store, or in the community. Rita lends a hand if she sees someone in need.

The willingness to give and care for others was instilled in Rita by her father and mother. Born in the aftermath of World War II, Rita grew up in an American run DP camp. Rita shared a story about standing in a meat line with her father: “We stood in line and we got a roast, there was this lady that came along that had seven

children. My father said ‘Well you know she has got so many kids to feed and that isn’t enough.’ so he gave her ours. I remember thinking how mad my mother was going to be.” Rita went on the explain that her mother was of the more practical, giving mind, whereas her father was willing to give everything no matter the amount of potato soup he had to eat as a result.

Rita immigrated to America with her parents and a sister where the hard work never stopped. Rita’s father worked three jobs while her mother worked two in order to save enough money to buy a house. In time the hard work paid off and the family achieved their dream. Eventually, Rita met and married Dan Shisler and entered the cheese business and our community.

Today, Rita’s sons are both grown, her store is thriving and she has a greater pull to help those who are suffering through her participation in various organizations. Rita explains: “People go through life thinking about themselves and not thinking about others. You’re busy raising kids and finding yourself. Discovering you. Then you are an adult and you know who you are and are able to help.”

Rita’s volume of involvement is partially due to the invitations she constantly receives. Community members know that Rita is involved in multiple organizations and will often ask for her help on another. They acknowledge her limited time, often asking Rita to join them when she finishes with a current position. Needless to say Rita, is constantly a member of a community organization or two.

Rita juggles her volunteer activities, her family, and her business with the help and understanding of those around her. Rita’s youngest son, Dennis has taken on a large role in Shisler’s Cheese as the head of Marketing and Advertising. She also employs between five and twelve employees depending on the time of year. The employees as well as Rita’s family appreciate her passion

“I just love helping people, period.”

for the community and extend a hand whenever Rita needs help.

“How to give and how to love giving and how to be kind” Rita says, has to be taught young. All her employees complete some sort of volunteer work including the Red Cross’ Festival of Trees during the holiday season. Rita also takes her six year old granddaughter to People to People regularly in order to donate old toys and clothing.

Rita’s personal involvement quickly fills a long list. She has taken part in several different Chambers including Canton, Dalton and Wooster. Rita works with the local Lions chapter, Every Woman’s House, the Red Cross and so many more. Each organization Rita volunteers

for touched her life in some way. The Red Cross helped her confirm her son was alive

during his time overseas as a marine. While Dennis was in Somalia, Rita heard a news story about a truck being hit and one marine being killed. Sick to stomach that the solider was Dennis, Rita started calling every organization and person she thought might know something. Eventually she contacted the Red Cross who got in touch with one of their contacts in the area. A couple hours later, a man with a radio patched Dennis through to Rita. The Red Cross went out of their way to help Rita, in return she volunteered for 7 years and still donates today.

One of Rita’s current positions is as district governor for the local Lions chapter. The position included a training class in Honolulu, attended by 750 district governors from all over the world. During one portion of the event, Rita was placed in a group where she was the only woman. Many of the men represented countries that do not believe women are equal to men and Rita

was worried about the effect she would be able to have within the group. To Rita’s surprise, the men all chose her as their group leader. The training session ended up being a great experience, it was an opportunity to interact with people from all over the world and learn from them. Beyond the Lions information that was shared, the attendees talked about business models, advertising and other ideas on how to improve clubs, club standing and their own businesses.

When Every Woman’s House was just getting started, Rita was one of the originals volunteers. She used to answer crisis calls, listening to the problems of others and tried to help them. During her shift the office would be filled with children and she would tell them stories and they would tell her stories. Since the restructuring of Every Woman’s House, volunteers are not in the office, but Rita still donates and helps with fundraisers.

“I just love helping people period.” Rita is worried that if she were to slow down or stop, she would probably get herself into trouble. Surrounded by the loving support of family and friends, Rita continues to support members of the community in every way she is able.

As children, we got excited about treasure hunts and the possibility of finding something that had been lost or hidden by another. The mystery intrigued our minds and fantasies about how our life connected to the hidden bit carried us deeper into the hunt. Today, the excitement and mystery of treasure hunting is possible for all ages through Geocaching.

Geocaching is the act of searching for a Geocache or treasure chest. These treasure chests come in a variety of sizes classifying as micro, small, regular and large. Ranging from the size of a film canister to a large bucket.

There are several different types of Geocaches; Traditional Geocaches, Mystery or Puzzle Caches and Multi-Caches are just three. A Traditional Geocache gives the coordinates to its location and the size of the treasure. Each Geocache may contain items for trade and Trackables. Mystery or Puzzle Caches involve complex puzzles or riddles, only after they are solved are the coordinates of the cache revealed. The multi-cache turns into a scavenger hunt of sorts; there are two or more locations that will lead you to a cache with another clue to the position of the next stage in the process. Each Geocache is built by its owner and can be a variation of any type.

Trackables are objects that have been placed by the Geocache owner or a previous visitor with the purpose of sending the item to another location. Goals for the

Trackables often include visiting all fifty states, or traveling across Europe. These items will be specially marked to designate their purpose and can add an additional element of fun for players.

When searching for a Geocache there is a process to follow that will make the experience more enjoyable.

Step one. Go to the Geocache website and create an account. A basic membership is free and creating an account is as easy as having an email address. Only one member of your Geocache search party needs to have an account.

Step two. Locate a Geocache near your desired position. Geocaches have been hidden all over the world, finding one near your favorite location shouldn’t be a problem. The site provides an overview as to the difficulty of the search, the terrain and how many people have found it.

The terrain can vary in accessibility. Some hunts are stroller and wheelchair friendly while others are off the trail hiking paths.

Several Geocaches can be found in Wayne County including a surprising amount in downtown Wooster. Page 21 contains the map provided by Geocaching.com when Wooster, Ohio is entered into the search bar.

Step three. Gather a group of people who will work well together and not mind trekking through a bit of mud. Geocaches are hidden all over the world at the desecration of the owner. Before placing a Geocache an individual has to ask permission from the land owner

Page 23: Now & Then, September 2015

Now & Then • Page 21

whether the property is privately or publicly owned. All this being said, a hunt for a Geocache could take you through a mud puddle or two.

Step four. Follow the coordinates and search for your Geocache. Once you find a Geocache you wish to pursue the site will give you coordinates to follow. If you are using a smartphone you can download an app that will guide you toward the Geocache. A device with GPS capabilities will also lead you to the coordinates provided by the site.

Don’t be mistaken, this is not a simple game of hide and seek. The Geocaching site will provide the size of the Geocache as well as the coordinates, but it will not give you the exact location. Geocaches are often camouflaged and hard to find due to their surroundings. The owners of the Geocaches are not supposed to bury their containers in anyway, but they can be hidden in a variety of locations. During one search, you may find your Geocache in a tree, another search may find the Geocache strapped to a mailbox.

The contents of a Geocache varies depending on the size of the container and the past visitors. Small rubber animals and foreign coins are possible finds. These items

may be taken by the visitor, but must be replaced with an object of equal or higher value. In every Geocache there will be one consistent feature, a log book. The log book is to track the visitors to the Geocache and provide a bit of history to the location. Your name or your team name is entered into the log, but you can also provide a bit of advice or a greeting.

Beyond writing in the log book of the Geocache, you also have the opportunity to log your find on the website. This provides a reference for potential searches for the Geocache. Your log gives them a clue as to how many people have actually found the Geocache before they go searching.

Each Geocache is published by Geocaching.com, but the actual container is maintained by the original person who placed and filed the item. The Geocache should not be moved from its original location.

Operating all year round in various indoor and outdoor locations, Geocaches provide an unlimited source of entertainment for children of all ages. Happy Hunting.

These two roaches, Tom and Oscar, are hanging out next to a dumpster enjoying a snack. “Hey Tom” said Oscar to his friend, “You know that restaurant down the block? I went there yesterday to pick up some scraps, and I couldn’t believe how clean it was, I could practically see my reflection through the shiny waxed floor.” “Oscar” hollered Tom spitting the food out of his mouth, “please, not while I am eating!!”
