| Tallmadge company preserves families' treasured images
People still bring Betamax tapes to Gary Stennett. For those too young to remember, Betamax lost out to VHS in the videotape format war a couple of decades ago. For that matter, people bring Stennett even more VHS cassettes, now just another has-been analog medium in the 21st century digital-recording era. And then there are the reels and reels of even older 8mm and 16mm home movies. Plus packages of 1970s 3/4-inch videotapes, SuperVHS and other tape formats, along with more contemporary video CDs, mini DVDs and others on which people have recorded memories, only to see them become obsolete. Stennett and his co-workers give new life to all those aging recordings. Stennett is the owner of ARS Video Inc. on West Avenue in Tallmadge, a family-run business started by his parents 20 years ago.
Dumpster Divers Go Mainstream In Thrifty Germany
Sven Brylla has been furnishing his apartments for years with discarded furniture, wood and fittings snagged off the streets of Berlin. In his kitchen stands a fridge so old that it predates electricity. Meltwater from a metal icebox once ran between the panels of the wooden cabinet, cooling its contents. Now it's his cupboard. His kitchen table is a gnarled old workbench. He found his favorite armchair at a garbage dump. His revolving inventory of street junk has included 20 vintage radios and half a dozen prewar bicycles made in the USSR. In many other countries, dumpster divers like Mr. Brylla would be written off as eccentrics. In Germany, he's just a normal 36-year-old graphic printer brought up to look down on wasting money on new things when sturdy old stand-bys are there for the taking.
