What Appalachia needs in the next farm bill

By Rachel Wagoner rachel@farmanddairy.com

The next farm bill is an opportunity to reshape agriculture to actually feed people and save the environment. That was the message from an online workshop on 2023 U.S. Farm Bill priorities, hosted by ReImagine Appalachia.

“We need to approach the farm bill as a food systems bill,” said Florence French Fagan, senior regional organizer for Bread for the World, during the livestreamed workshop May 30. “We need to focus on nutrition, on equity and sustainability.”

Fagan was one of five speakers from local food, farm and environmental groups that presented during the event.

Sara Fitzsimmons is devoted to the conservation and restoration of the American chestnut tree.

“It’s going to take 100 to 200 years for the American chestnut tree to come back to what it once was,” she said.

Fitzsimmons is chief conservation officer and north central regional science coordinator of the American Chestnut Foundation, and she is also on the forestry faculty at Pennsylvania State University.

There were billions of American chestnut trees hundreds of years ago, and their range stretched from Georgia to Michigan, but the tree was gone before science could step in and identify how important it is to the environment.

“The American chestnut will slowly make a comeback, but it is going to take concerted, focused efforts to make the species what it once was,” Fitzsimmons said.

The American chestnut tree is not considered extinct, but it is “functionally” extinct. This means that there are still some American chestnuts alive, but they are not able to reproduce and sustain a population.

Disappearance. Its demise started with

“ink disease” in the early 1800s, which killed chestnut trees in the south, but the final blow happened at the turn of the 20th century when a disease called cryphonectria parasitica, or chestnut blight, swept through the eastern part of the United States. This fungus was introduced as people began to import the Asian species of chestnut.

The disappearance of the American chestnut tree launched a profound change in the structure and composition of eastern forests because the American chestnut was once one of the most common trees in the eastern United States. The tree’s large size and dense canopy provided food and shelter for a variety of wildlife, and its wood was used to make a variety of products.

Without the American chestnut tree, the canopy is now open, and there is less food and shelter for wildlife. The loss of the

American chestnut tree has also led to an increase in the abundance of other tree species, such as oaks and maples, and the overall health of the forest has declined because the American chestnut tree was a keystone species that helped maintain the balance of the ecosystem. Because of their rot-resistant wood and rapid growth, they also have the potential for carbon sequestration, which is important in climate change.

Restoration. There are a number of efforts underway to bring back the American chestnut tree, and it is hoped that the species will one day be able to recover, but threats to the species continue. Parasites, global trade and invasive vegetation are continuous challenges that are difficult to overcome.

In order for the American chestnut to become vibrant again, there are specific approaches and methods for establishing the species. It’s going to be a slow process for the transition, according to Fitzsimmons.

A modified or transgenic American chestnut, which has been genetically engineered, still needs government approval. The new strain has a gene called “oxo” added, causing it to be blight-resistant.

They laid out a list of seven farm bill priorities supported by ReImagine Appalachia, a coalition of nonprofits and advocacy groups based in the Ohio River Valley, which includes bolstering regional food systems and nutrition programs, creating more opportunities for small farmers and investing in sustainable and climate resilient agriculture.

Nutrition. More than 75% of farm bill funding goes toward nutrition programs, like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP, formerly the food stamp program; and The Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, which was an important resource for families impacted economically during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Access to SNAP has been shown to increase health outcomes and lower healthcare costs for participants, over low income individuals who are not receiving SNAP benefits.

But Fagan’s presentation pointed out that SNAP recipients on average consume lower amounts of fruits and vegetables than the average American. When buying food on a limited budget, people may opt for the biggest bang for their buck that usually comes in the form of cheap, shelfstable, highly processed foods over perishable produce.

Fagan highlighted the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive

IT’S GOING TO TAKE 100 TO 200 YEARS FOR THE AMERICAN CHESTNUT TREE TO COME BACK TO WHAT IT ONCE WAS

What we save, saves us

By Eliza Blue

Kittens are born with their eyes and ears sealed. They can not see or hear. But slowly over the hours and days, their ears and eyes open. The world they have known only through touch and smell is replaced by a reality infinitely more varied and vibrant. Perhaps it is frightening at first, but imagine how it must be when the colors and music of life are revealed, a new world discovered, the old world of silent darkness left behind.

Three years ago, the pandemic was just beginning, there were fires in the streets of my beloved hometown, Minneapolis, and I was adrift, anguished by my inability to do anything to help anyone including myself. Then I found a day-old kitten in our barn, abandoned and mostly dead. I warmed her back to life, and started bottle feeding her, which with kittens that young requires around the clock vigilance. Through this act of service I found a tiny corner of hope in all the chaos.

That kitten only lived a few weeks. She never seemed to be thriving, but she was still making progress until one day she wasn’t. Perhaps it was her rough start, perhaps she was born with some genetic code that made adulthood an impossibility. Either way, I was thankful for her short presence in my life; she was a gift that carried me through a hard time. AND it was not necessarily something I ever wanted to do again.

This week, our friend, Claudio, who is visiting from Italy, found another abandoned day-old kitten in the dirt of the corral amidst the shuffling feet of our two milk cows and their calves. It was so tiny Claudio

McClure represents Region 1,

would have mistaken it for a bit of fluff except for its wailing. He picked it up and brought it to the house.

Unlike the kitten from three years ago, this baby is full of the will to thrive. How he ended up in the corral we will never know, but after a fruitless search for the mother, I pulled out the canister of powdered kitten milk replacer I’d saved in the freezer from the first kitten. Of course, I’d saved her tiny bottle too. As soon as this new kitten got a taste of milk he stopped crying and settled down for a long drink, and that’s been the rhythm of my days and nights ever since.

The first night of feedings, reluctantly pulling myself from slumber, I questioned my sanity though. Does the world need another kitten? Do I really need to lose this much sleep for a tiny creature that very likely won’t survive even with my devoted care? (One source I found said abandoned neonatal kittens have a survival rate around 50%.) “I’m three years older, and a whole lot wearier than I was the last time I did this,” I thought to myself.

But once again, I am learning a lot. I’ve named this kitten Leone, Leo for short, because that is the Italian word for Lion. I think of little Leo crying into the darkness of his sealed eyes as he lay in the corral — crying out to be saved. I think of him learning to drink from a bottle, learning to trust the touch of a giant creature he can neither see nor hear and is nothing at all like the furred, four-legged mother who should come to him. That’s quite a lesson in courage and faith from a very wee beast.

Meanwhile, are there other, more

important things I could be doing with my time instead of bottle feeding Leo? Actually, probably not. In the quiet hours after midnight, or just before dawn, I am reminded again of the joy found in measuring my breath against the breath of an utterly vulnerable creature. Of letting myself slow down to listen for the tiniest imaginable purr coming from the tiniest imaginable softlystriped throat. Even if it is only for a short time, I am thankful for this unexpected sweetness. Turns out and I am not weary as I thought — and in saving this little one, I am getting saved a little too.

What Appalachia needs in the next farm bill

Program, which provides incentives for SNAP participants to buy more fruits and veggies, as one way to improve diets and health outcomes.

Food insecurity and lack of access to nutritious foods are associated with increased risk for chronic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease, and Ohio and West Virginia are at or above the U.S. average for percent of the population that is food insecure.

Supporting small farms could help with food waste and food recovery, which could in turn help with food insecurity and related health issues, Fagan said.

“We believe that through sustainability it’s possible to support smaller and organic farmers, support food

gleaning operations … and tackle food waste and food recovery,” she said. “Through these nutrition programs, we believe that we can address those poor health outcomes.”

Get the message. Though Washington, D.C. seems quite partisan, food shouldn’t be partisan, nor should talks around the farm bill, the speakers said.

Fagan said it’s important to have real people share their stories with lawmakers and their staff about what’s important to them and why.

“They’re not a data point,” she said. “They’re not research. They are a real person talking about the fact that they work 40 hours a week. They’re not wanting to receive SNAP benefits because they’re lazy, but

they are working at a minimum wage job, or maybe two minimum wage jobs.”

At the same time, conversations with lawmakers need to start on common ground. Marcia Dinkins, founder of the Black Appalachian Coalition, said you need to speak their language instead of focusing right away on talking points.

“We believe that storytelling should be a precursor to policy making, but what you also have to look at is who and what they care about,” Dinkins said. “Meet them where they are and what they care about first, and then bring in the values based line.”

Baldridge tours Richland SWCD projects

MANSFIELD, Ohio — Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Brian Baldridge visited Richland County, May 31, to see examples of conservation practices at work and get a feel for projects the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District, the Ohio Soil and Water Conservation District of 2023, is involved in throughout the county.

The first stop on the tour was at Kingwood Center Gardens to meet Executive Director Josh Steffen, who explained how the Garden Gateway project enhances the guest experience through artful and efficient stormwater management.

The tour began in the parking lot in front of the Garden Gateway building. Steffen shared how bioswales were added to collect stormwater runoff from the building, parking lot and other hard surfaces to help filter and slow the water going into the Nature Pond.

The tour continued to the NECIC Urban Farm in downtown Mansfield. Walt Bonham shared how the farm is using a former brownfield site located in a food desert area and using the site to produce food. The site formerly housed the GormanRupp Company.

High tunnels, greenhouses, raised beds and some irrigation systems assist the collaborative efforts of individual farmers. Bonham said in addition to selling at the farm and the weekly in-season Farmer Market, they supply restaurants and grocery stores with produce.

Baldridge also got to meet and

talk with a H2Ohio program participant, Justin Ringler. Ringler and his family interseed a cover crop of wheat with the assistance of aerial seeding. Cover crops are planted to keep the winter soil covered to help prevent erosion.

The last stop on the tour was an example of a log jam on the Black Fork River. The city of Shelby along with a group of citizens proposed a ditch petition request to remove log

jams and debris along an 18-mile stretch of the Black Fork that starts at Mickey Road and ends at state Route 13. The ditch petition request is under consideration.

Additionally, Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District approved a grant of $99,000 to Richland SWCD to clean up five logjams downstream of the ditch petition request, from Route 13 to Charles Mill Lake.

Newsies know: All have been covered in this space over the past year, all have ties to Washington, D.C., and all are in the news again. Let’s go first to the tasty bacon news from the suddenly-very dishy U.S. Supreme Court.

In a 5-4 decision on May 11, the court ruled against the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Pork Producers Council and the Biden administration and for California’s “humanely” raised pork law. The Big Ag plaintiffs wanted the state law declared unconstitutional because, they alleged, its practical effect (was) to control commercial conduct beyond California’s boundaries.”

In the frying pan was a threetimes approved — twice by voters, once by the state legislature — ban on “California businesses from selling ‘eggs and uncooked pork and veal’’’ as noted here last September, “‘from ‘animals housed in ways’ that did not meet the new state standards.”

Some of those “ways” — like sow farrowing crates and battery cages for hens — are mainstays of modern livestock production. The NPPC, AFBF and the White House fought for the crates and cages, claiming the California law violated interstate commerce.

Writing for the court’s majority, however, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch rejected their argument to create any “new and more aggressive constitutional restrictions on the ability of States to regulate goods sold within their borders,” noted the Washington Post.

Gorsuch punctuated his majority opinion with some uncourtly snarkiness: “While the Constitution addresses many weighty issues,” he wrote, “the type of pork chops California merchants sell is not on that list.” Boom.

American organic fruit and vegetable buyers would love to have that level of final-word clarity on the United States Department of Agriculture’s ever-shifting organic food rules. Recent rule changes — designed to benefit corporate organic growers — have brought massive changes to the American organic landscape.

For example, USDA’s rule to permit soil-free, hydroponic production of vegetables and fruit has, in just a few short years, clobbered small U.S. organic blueberry farmers.

Peru, reports the Real Organic Project, has largely displaced most U.S. blueberry growers because farmers there can grow blueberries faster and cheaper under USDA’s recently changed rules meant to boost American corporate hydroponic producers.

In fact, reported the BBC recently, Peru, a nation that grew virtually no blueberries a decade ago, is now the world’s top blueberry exporter, selling $1.4 billion of the fruit overseas in 2022.

This is just “Another example of how degrading the definition of ‘Organic’ has real consequences,” explained ROP. Had the USDA standard remained soil-based and not opened the market to hydroponically-grown blueberries, it argues, U.S. growers would continue “to sell high-value late-season fruit.”

Under the hydroponic rules, rules ROP fought against because “organic,” by definition, means soil, “U.S. (blueberry) producers have been hit hard” and “most of that imported production is hydroponic.”

How did that happen?

Enter Washington’s legislator-tolobbyist revolving door — or, more accurately, open barn door — where it’s nearly impossible to distinguish lawmakers from law shakers.

In fact, according to opensecrets. org, a non-partisan, non-profit group that tracks money and influence in American politics, a staggering 467 former House and Senate members

Alan Guebert Farm & Food File

lobbied Capitol Hill during the 115th Congress to “attempt to influence the very federal government in which they used to serve.”

Think about that: Four years ago (the latest published numbers), the 467 former lawmakers asking onetime colleagues for a favor nearly equaled the number of one-time colleagues, 535, they asked.

Why? Because all that grinning, gripping, and greasing works, explained U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, a Maine Democrat on the House Ag Committee and a certified organic farmer.

“(T)here are 1,200 lobbyists on the Hill that work for the agriculture and food processing industry,” she told the ROP podcast. “They spend about $350 million a year on forming opinions in Washington. And that’s more than the defense industry, so don’t underestimate their power.”

For proof, just look at USDA’s organic hydroponics rule; lobbyists pushed that choice, not voters, and American farmers are paying the price.

Friendships: Testaments to strong connections

By Judith Sutherland

“A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.”

— Lois Wyse

Get Social With Us!

There is a cup of wisdom in every conversation with new friends we make along life’s way, and it is a gift to be sought in every season of this life. One friendship that stands out to me when I look back on my life proved to be an example set by my mother.

Mom was a young high school student when she accepted a job in a department store. After years of babysitting, it was her first job that had set hours and training within various departments. An older woman saw something in the young girl, took her under her wing, and a life-long friendship began, holding strong and steady long after my mother married and moved to start a farm and a family with her beau.

Read It Again

90 years ago this week. Most corn planting was three weeks late in Vinton County and up to the first part of the week, it was estimated that less than 10 percent of the corn was planted, but by Saturday evening the estimate had jumped up to 80%.

50 years ago this week. The Kidron Auction will celebrate its 50th anniversary this month. The pioneer livestock auction was recognized last week in a proclamation by Gov. John J. Gilligan designating June 14 as Kidron Auction Day in Ohio.

25 years ago this week. George and Brenda Conkle of Hookstown, Pennsylvania, lay claim to something very few farmers can — their Beaver County dairy farm has been in the Conkle family for more than 200 years.

Every month or so when I was a child, the lady with white hair and a sweet disposition came calling, as she referred to it. She never arrived without a phone call to set a day that would not be an imposition. Mrs. Mac, as my mother always referred to her, really was a lady in every single way. Always in a dress and high heeled pumps, Mrs. Mac nearly always wore pearls and a smile. “It is so good to see you, and your lovely little daughters. My, oh my, look how you all have grown!” A tiny wrapped candy was often drawn from her shiny, black handbag. One for each of us. It was a sweet gift that we appreciated.

Letters and cards were exchanged between the young mother and the retired lady, filled with encouragement, advice and wisdom. “You got a card from Mrs. Mac!” one of us would exclaim as we walked in the door with the daily mail. It made for a happy moment in a work-filled day for our mom.

Later in my life I would learn that Mrs. Mac had not had an easy life, though she floated through ours as a charming, divine, polished woman who had every single thing in the world figured out. Truth be told, her first husband had been horribly abusive. Two sons born to the marriage were still quite young when it ended in divorce, a rarity with a blush of shame in that day and age.

In time, unexpectedly, a wonderful gentleman courted her with the promise he would treat her and her sons as the best thing that ever happened to him. Love blossomed, and they were a happy family. Mr. Mac, as she always referred to her second husband, provided security, kindness and bounty with a giving heart. It was the first time in her life she could prepare square meals with the extras that make life grand. Life was serene and joyful. Until, suddenly, Mr. Mac became ill and died.

There was no security built into a loss like this back in the late 1930s. Mrs. Mac struggled to hold on to the home, and eventually she and her sons had to move to a much smaller place, to take little jobs to buy food. It was other women who saved her, offering produce from gardens, eggs, a fresh chicken, little jobs for her sons with their payment often apples or

berries from an orchard at the end of a day.

The genuine friendship Mrs. Mac offered my young mother was born from life experiences. “You don’t really need me, but I’m always here if you do,” was written into this gentle lady’s lifelong sweetness toward my mother, and, by extension, to four little girls. This friendship was a lovely testament to the importance of connections with people of all ages, all stations of life. Not long ago, I told my mother that I’d had a dream of Mrs. Mac. “Oh, I think of her often,” Mom said. “Her friendship was such a blessing to me, and I often hope she knew that.”

I have no doubt the feeling was mutual. It is a gift worth striving for, and as a result I have enjoyed the friendships of women of all ages throughout my life, all thanks to the soft touch of kindness brought to us by Mrs. Mac.

Harold Robert ‘Bobby’ Frederick

LISBON, Ohio — Harold Robert “Bobby” Frederick, 62, of Lisbon, died at 10:15 p.m. June 1, 2023, at Salem Regional Medical Center.

He was born on Sept. 3, 1960, in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, the son of the late Frank and Dolores (Holman) Frederick Sr. Bobby was well known from his business, Frederick’s Heating and Cooling. He was a very friendly sort, and once you had met him, you were friends for life. A very social person, Bobby had many friends, but there was nothing better than being with family.

Bobby was a hunter of deer and other small game, a fisherman of all kinds of fish in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other great locations. A good lover of nature will go and camp in the great outdoors, which he did often. The Twin Springs and Eagle Pass golf courses were no stranger to him, as he spent many hours there with friends playing.

He is survived by his daughter Shawna Frederick and two grandchildren; his longtime close and special friend, Lynda Moore, of Lisbon; siblings Benjamin Frederick,

of Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, Daniel Frederick, of Ambridge, Pennsylvania, Darlene Phillips, of Leetonia, Dorothy Clifford, of Wake Forest, North Carolina, and Janet Rollins, of Fayetteville, Georgia; and many nieces and nephews.

Identify weeds for management

early bud stages. Chemicals may not always be the answer as some weeds can be controlled by other methods like keeping fields cut back, grazing management, and adjusting soil nutrients.

Walking through your hay and pasture fields you may notice some weeds growing. There are a few things to keep in mind before reaching for the spray. Some weeds can be an indicator that the ground is lacking nutrients while other weeds are just an invader.

There are some things you can do to help prevent the spread of weeds and eradicate them from your fields. A few of the steps to forage weed management are identification, proper chemical use, grazing management and preventing the spread of seeds.

Weed identification. If you are unsure of the weeds growing in your fields consult the local soil and water office for help on identification. Not all weeds need the same methods of eradication. Some weeds need taken care of in the very early stages of growth while others can be treated right before, or during the

Chemical usage. After the weeds have been identified you can apply the proper chemicals to the weed. When using spray timing of application is key. If you spray too late or early the weed will likely not be killed by the chemical. Always read the label before purchasing and using a chemical, some have restrictions on grazing, replanting, and the selling of hay. If hiring a pesticide applicator always ask for copies of the labels on all chemicals being used. Check the weather forecast for rain and wind, applying when the weather is right can help to prevent product drift. Write down the weather for the day the chemical was applied and retain it with the copies of the product label. It may also be beneficial for your operation to attended a pesticide application class.

Grazing management. Rotational grazing can be beneficial for weed management, by rotating livestock regularly weeds can be controlled

by ensuring the paddocks are not overgrazed. Some weeds can also be managed by having the livestock graze them down before they go into the seeding stage of their lifecycle. Before grazing livestock on weeds ensure you have the weed correctly identified and that it is safe for livestock to ingest, some weeds can be toxic to livestock. Preventing the spread of seeds. Take the time between fields to blow off hay equipment, by doing so you can prevent the hay equipment from spreading seeds between fields. When reseeding a field make sure to use certified seed. If hay is brought in from another farm make sure the fields are clean and weed free. One last step you can take is to change your clothes after walking through a field that has known weeds in it. These are just a few things that can be used for forage weed management. If you are unsure of what is growing in your field or proper management techniques reach out to your local soil and water office for assistance.

Clark: How can grain prices be this low?

By Marlin Clark

Not much doubt what the two hot topics are today where grain farmers gather. One is how dry everything is and the other is, “How can prices be so low?”

best soils in the country, nor as deep. The tendency is for just eight or 10 inches of topsoil, then heavy clay.

Those along the creek bottom who have some sandy soil are already seeing the corn curl up. Those with the clay loam can expect to soon.

during pollination that contributes to disease problems in so many years.

I am told farmers are not putting on fungicides this year because of the dry weather. It will be interesting to see how the yields are, as wheat came out of winter in great shape in the East and has thrived since.

He says the crops were planted in good conditions and still look good, but in another week they will be getting very thirsty. I am also told that those brave folks who planted corn in the first 10 days of April have mostly gotten away with it. The corn came up the same time as the corn planted later, but it did come up.

Ohio soil. The sad thing is, much of that part of Ohio does not have soils with good water-holding capac-

The favored few this year are the ones who do not do much tillage. Some of them are seeing deeper topsoil as the years go by, a matter which I was taught in college does not really happen. They have also not wasted moisture with tillage.

Lack of rain is scary, but the truth is something Pappy always preached: in our part of the world, the dry years scare you to death, but the wet years starve you to death!

In the main Corn Belt, which gets less rain normally than Ohio does, the drought area increased last week from 26% of the corn production area to 34%. Areas such as southern Minnesota which had been too wet with rain and late-melting snow has now got planted, but has turned dry.

The dry weather is reflected in last week’s first Crop Condition report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It shows 69% of the crop rated good and excellent, which is less than expected. The trade assumed we would come in at 71%, which is the average.

Wheat extremes. For comparison, last year we started out at 73% good and excellent. Our wheat, which God made to grow in dryer areas, is loving the current weather. It is headed out and farmers are expecting an early harvest.

We have missed the wet weather

That is not true in the Great Plains where most of our wheat is grown. They are working on dry weather, too, but so dry that they planted in three inches of dust and have actually had dust storms in Kansas this spring.

The good crop of SRW in the East does not make up for the bad crop of HRW out west, however. The two classes of wheat are very different and cannot be substituted for each other.

Poor prices. That gets us to the second big topic, the one of price. We saw some terrible prices for corn and soybeans last week. July corn touched $5.77 1/2 May 31. A couple of months ago, we still hoped to break $7!

We recovered from the lows later in the week with a nickel gain for the week, and a close of $6.05. However, we had a bad June 5, with July futures off 11 1/2 cents after a high early in the day of $6.14. That means we had a 19-cent range for the day.

In the evening session, we were up over five cents, at $6.03 The December new crop prices were similar in action, but significantly lower. December futures gained $6 3/4 cents for the week, closing at $5.41 1/4.

Trading had left us down 6 1/2 cents, but we had picked up 6-1/2 the evening of June 5 as this was being written. December was at $5.43 1/2.

Marlin Clark Market Monitor

ryout estimate for Aug. 31 of 2023 is lower than reality. In a continuation of the talk last week, we are now well past the Prevent Plant date for the Dakotas, without getting in the extra corn acres expected there.

I have not seen numbers, but last week I was told that we would never see the 800,000 extra acres this year. I assumed this would change the acres to soybeans, but apparently significant acres had fertilizer already applied for corn, so the farmers will go with something else, like sunflowers.

Still in the mix is the record Brazilian soybean crop that will more than make up for the drought-halved Argentine crop. The soybean prices traded in a large range. July futures put in a low May 30 at $12.94 1/4.

The quest to restore the American chestnut tree takes root

Agency will need to give regulatory approval to this new strain. Then, approval must come from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. According to Fitzsimmons, this should occur within the next year. After that, millions of transgenic trees will need to be planted. After 10 to 20 years, mature trees will create seeds and seedlings and establish a regular cycle of growth. It is only then that public and private landowners will be able to step in and plant the trees.

Challenging. Fitzsimmons said

Soybean council holding election

WORTHINGTON, Ohio — The Ohio Soybean Council Board of Trustees has four district seats up for election this year.

All eligible candidates interested in running for the OSC Board must obtain at least 15 valid signatures on the petition available at soyohio. org/petition. All petitions must be submitted to the Ohio Department of Agriculture by mail and must be postmarked no later than July 7 and received by July 14.

The OSC Board is made up of farmer volunteers who direct the investment of checkoff dollars to improve the profitability of Ohio soybean farmers. Districts up for election are:

• District 3: Ashland, Ashtabula, Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Huron, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Richland, Summit and Trumbull counties (Incumbent Jeff Magyar is term-limited).

• District 4: Defiance, Paulding and Van Wert counties (Incumbent Mike Heffelfinger is eligible to run for another term).

• District 6: Crawford, Seneca and Wyandot counties (Incumbent Tyler Miller is eligible to run for another term).

• District 11: Clark, Greene and Madison counties (Incumbent Bob Suver is eligible to run for another term).

To be eligible for election to the OSC Board, a person must live in a county in the districts listed and be a soybean producer engaged in the growing of soybeans in Ohio who owns or shares the ownership and risk of loss of soybeans at any time during the three-year period immediately preceding Nov. 15 of the current year. OSC Trustees serve one term of three years and may be elected to serve up to three consecutive terms. For questions, contact Kirk Merritt at kmerritt@soyohio.org.

that establishing the species will be challenging because the seedlings need to be nurtured and protected in order to survive. The threats are deer and invasive vegetation.

Fitzsimmons is hoping for diversity in forests along the East Coast, where American chestnut trees could thrive, but the trees grow best in well-drained, acidic soil, which is found in Appalachia.

“If we want diverse birds or diverse animals, the U.S. needs diverse trees for them to thrive on,” she said. There are deep cultural connections to the tree for folks. According to Fitzsimmons, it’s because the spe-

cies is so versatile. The nuts can be eaten in a variety of ways, while the wood can be used to build furniture, railings, log cabins or barns, and is highly resistant to decay.

“It’s compelling to see if the resurrection of the species will grab hold of future generations,” Fitzsimmons said. She is convinced it will.

In the meantime, she suggests that if anyone is interested in helping to re-establish the American chestnut tree, there is an Ohio chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation that encourages participation and needs volunteers.

Don’t let your dairy cows strike out

By Dwight Roseler

Summertime brings thoughts of ice cream and baseball. The postgame little league celebration brings both teams to the local ice cream store to enjoy a refreshing ice cream treat.

Dairy cows do not play baseball, but they do work hard and expend a lot of energy producing high quality, nutritious milk which churns into that delicious ice cream. A dairy farmer is a “cow coach” and provides the correct resources to allow the cows to win during the summer.

Summertime heat brings serious consequences to dairy cows. Dairy cows have an expansive four stomach digestive fermentation system. That system successfully converts grasses and other non-edible human ingredients to make healthy and nutritious 97% fat free milk.

Heat impacts. In the process of making milk, a large volume of fermentation products get generated among which one is body heat. A dairy cow’s ideal outdoor temperature is 40 to 60 degrees F. A hot day for a dairy cow is above 65 degrees F and a really hot day is over 90 degrees F.

Hot temperatures result in changes to dairy cows where they exhibit one or a combination of

symptoms. The visible sign’s dairy cows exhibit in hot weather is higher respiration rates, more water consumption, lower feed intake, more drooling, less rumination and less time lying. Inside the cow, changes occur which include higher body temperatures and more acidic stomach (rumen).

Further down the digestive system the intestines change and become more permeable, often called “leaky gut”. Leaky gut creates a condition where cows become more prone to health challenges. As a result of all these changes, milk production, milk fat percentage, reproduction and health can decline. Good news is that dairy cow coaches can help reduce the effect of these challenges. A coach must observe his players (cows) and see how to help them. Identifying when cows are hot is a must.

Finding problems. A practical and easy method to evaluate dairy cow heat stress is to measure respiration rate. It takes good observation skills, a few minutes and some patience each day.

Quietly enter the barn in late afternoon when feeding, milking or manure scraping activity is not occurring. Count respirations on 12 individual cows and convert to respirations per minute. Respirations of 40

to 60 are normal, 60 to 79 indicate mild heat stress, 80 to 99 moderate heat stress and over 100 severe heat stress. High humidity and nighttime temperatures above 60 degrees create more stress.

How to help. How can a “dairy cow coach” help improve cows in the summer? Turn fans on when temperatures are above 68 degrees F. Allow the fans to run through the night as dairy cows do not cool down until the following morning after a hot afternoon. Fan air speeds of 5 miles per hour are suggested for all cows standing or lying.

Install water soakers that run intermittently with the proper frequency and volume of water. Website references provide guidance on proper soaker installation. Water soakers improve the effectiveness of heat removal from the dairy cow’s body. As an example, on a hot summer day when you exited the pool you felt cool. The cows gain the same benefit.

Nutrition and ration design can be adjusted to reduce the effects of heat stress. Add extra water tanks to the barn and provide plenty of clean water. Clean out the drinker tanks each week. Highly digestible forages and co-products with low toxins need to be fed in the summer to give optimal NDF digestion to support feed intake. Proper degradable and undegradable protein and amino acids is important along with mineral and vitamin fortification to support cow health. Fatty acid balancing supports higher milk components and reproductive performance. Ration additives can support rumen health, production and immunity. Select additives that have proven non-company research data and have a minimum economic return (benefit:cost) of at least 2:1.

Get a fresh start for summer

By Christine Gelley

Do you ever feel like you are caught in a hamster wheel? Always running ragged and never catching up? Task after task keep flying your way and there’s no chance to take a breath in between? If you don’t get a chance to take that breather, you may consider quitting all together, when what you really need is to just slow down. Quitting doesn’t help us resolve those stressful tasks. Slowing down instead allows us to put those tasks flying at us into focus.

I was reminded of that recently while cleaning off my disastrously cluttered desk so that I could start fresh the next day. Among the things on my desk was my 2022 Good Housekeeping Live Life Beautifully planner. I loved that planner. It was full of helpful advice, recipes and organization tips.

As I flipped the page to June, I found the following passage: “Find Your Focus— Aim your brain at a problem. If you feel as if your mind is looping around itself, give yourself an (easy) task to do. When you’re stressed your brain may be saying, ‘Let’s solve the problem!’ so it keeps spinning, but that’s actually a good time to engage your mind. If you give your brain a short-term task to focus on, you’ll feel calmer and you’ll be better able to deal with what’s actually bothering you.”

Start easy. Instead of dwelling on your entire to-do list and what thing is the highest priority, choose one task that can be completed now and do it. The satisfaction of completing something may be just what you need to realign your focus to accomplish bigger tasks with a fresh

mindset. If you are waiting for a chance to hit the reset button, wait no longer. The start of summer is a great time to take a deep breath and every morning is a new opportunity to start fresh.

Sure, there’s hay to be made and pastures to graze; fence to mend and stock tanks to clean; oil to change and calves to wean; weeds to tackle and ponds to treat; mail to address and bills to pay.

But it can all wait just a little while longer if you need a moment to realign and focus. Do the newspaper crossword. Organize your toolbox. Rehang that crooked gate you struggle with every morning. Change that light bulb that has been out for weeks. Maybe just clean your desk. It might just do the trick to help you slow down and refocus. Your mind and spirit will thank you for it.

Hay day. If the big tasks on your to-do list include shopping for new farm equipment, buying fertilizer, taking hay samples, planning a new pasture seeding, designing a weed management program, figuring out the best way to make haylage, and/or setting aside pastures to stockpile grass for this fall, mark your calendars to take a day off from your farm tasks and come to the Eastern Agricultural Research Station in Caldwell, Ohio, July 14. OSU Extension and a team of sponsors will be offering a day full of inspiration and socialization for anyone in the pasture management and haymaking businesses with the return of Southeastern Ohio Hay Day.

Registration will open and the trade show will begin at 9 a.m. at 16870 Bond Ridge Road, Caldwell.

Psalm 19:1-6.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

TAKE SOME TIME TO BE AMAZED

The power company is erecting large metal masts to support some new power lines along a portion of Route 83 just north of Holmesville, Ohio. Industrial and residential growth has necessitated the increased distribution.

The amount of metal that goes into just one of those poles and the

Don’t forget the amount of granite required to create the gravestones over our burial spots. Several years ago, we toured the Rock of Ages stone quarry in Barre, Vermont. I was amazed by the acres of pits that had provided gravestones over the company’s history and the amount of unquarried ground left for the future. Not only do we use vast resources in life, but our remains often are buried beneath them in death. The vastness of resources we have used from the earth is amazing.

My amazement’s focus shifted to a report on hay prices cited by Shelby Tedrow, of Wayne County’s Extension Office and authored by Andrew Holden, the Ohio State University’s extension educator in Ashtabula County. One routinely reads the periodic report as a matter of fact for pricing purposes. The article mentions that our nation’s hay inventories were at 71.9 million tons as of December, 2022. That’s a lot of hay when you think about it.

I remember bucking the old square bales during summers on Grandpa’s farm, a small contribution to hay supplies. I drove past seemingly endless acres of corn across Indiana and Illinois, a sign of amazingly huge renewable resources from plant life.

GOD’S COMFORT

[God] comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

— 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NIV)

I began having severe panic attacks in my mid-thirties. Within weeks I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I had no history of mental illness, so this experience was frightening. A great doctor, the right medications, and a change in diet stabilized my system but didn’t answer my deeper questions. Where was God, and what was my role in the healing process?

I became more active in my church. I devoured scripture, and I looked for God everywhere. I kept a gratitude journal and learned to give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thess. 5:18). I deepened my prayer life. My

Feed my sheep

Canon reminds one of what we produce and discard. Huge human-created hills loom where strip mine pits once existed. They are refuse-created tributes to our efforts to responsibly dispose of what we don’t want anymore. Our efforts to line and cover what we used to call dumps are admirable, as we contain and recycle trash.

Our backyard in the middle of Millersburg used to be part of the town dump. Now a shallow ravine covered with grass and trees surrenders a rare old bottle or metal artifact, reminders of its old school past. It is amazing how nature works to reclaim control over time.

God has given us a bountiful earth to inhabit, telling us to use it wisely. We have used its gifts well to improve our lives. What we build, use for transportation and manipulate to enable us to survive are monuments to our God-given minds and abilities. That we can look back at what we have done and evaluate both its goodness and flaws also is a gift from our Creator.

Another gift from God is our awareness of each other. You and I have the ability and the biblical charge to respect and look out for each other. As we engage in the purchase, distribution and pricing of goods and services, let’s remember the Lord’s reminder to act morally and responsibly in our dealings with. Let’s spread some of the wealth and bounty that should amaze us with others.

Let’s allow ourselves to be amazed once in a while. It helps us to keep things in a good perspective.

God, thank you for the gifts of our world. May we use them wisely, and allow ourselves to be amazed. Amen.

Farming is almost synonymous with the idea of feeding people. If nothing else it is, at the least, somewhere in the back of our minds. Most of us think of the farming community as a group of hard working people who grow the meals we set on our tables.

In Fremont, Ohio there are a few informative signs along route 20 about farming. One of them reads: “One Farmer Provides for 160 People.” Another reads: “Only Farmers Produce Food.” When you think about it, it’s true. Where else would these 160 people get the food they eat? Remember to thank your local farmers the next time you see them.

My parents were a part of this group of people feeders. Together Mom and Dad spent their entire adult working lives producing food for people to eat. And my mother not only helped to raise and harvest this food, she even helped prepare meals of this food and serve them to her ever hungry family. Her mornings in the barn milking cows were always followed by fixing and serving breakfast; lunch would follow later on, and after her often spent days in the fields doing whatever, she prepared and served dinner.

One week and one day after my visit with Bill and June, Bill died. Even before my devotion reached you of June saying her plants just “pass away,” Bill had done just that and gone on to be with his maker and his soul is now peacefully at rest. Bill, like most of you reading this, was not a preacher; but he never let that get in the way of preparing and serving many, many spiritual meals to so many hungry souls.

I remember going his wife June’s Christian bookstore, and as my wife would browse, Bill would quite often be leaning over the counter by the cash register, with open Bible, sharing some spiritual lesson with me or someone else. On Saturday evenings he and his wife hosted a Bible study where he was usually the teacher. He also served as an elder at church for years and years and years. But mostly, although more could surely be said, Bill served as a living example and inspiration to me, as well as anyone else he was around, of what it meant to be a servant of Christ. Long story short, using the word of God for his ingredients, Bill prepared and served many spiritual meals to many a hungry soul. And remember, Bill too was just a simple layperson, the same as you and me.

faith grew, and I sought to love and forgive others and myself more. Sixteen years later, God delivered me from fear.

God heals us, but not always in our time or on our terms. I still have bipolar disorder, but in Christ, my soul is more at peace than before my breakdown. I no longer have mood swings, and I’m defined more by my courage. My long journey through the wilderness prepared me to answer God’s call.

“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God”

— Isa. 40:1, (NIV).

Other people’s struggles may differ from mine, but by offering the comfort I’ve received from God, I can help others find their own way home.

Today’s prayer: Thank you, Lord, for the many ways you comfort us. By your grace, help us to extend your comfort to others. Amen.

BIBLE TRIVIA

When reflecting back on my mother, I most often, in my mind, see a picture of her in the barn behind a row of cows, four of which had a milker strapped to their back, or a picture of her on our Farmall Super C pulling the sickle-bar mower as it neatly glided through the field leaving a sleek trail of fallen grass in its wake, or maybe one of her in the kitchen preparing a good solid meal for her family.

Raising food is a great and important task, but I’m thinking serving it, as well, to be very important. Food left in the field or on the grocery store shelf is of little use, someone needs to serve it that we may sustain nourishment for our physical being. And what about our soul, the spiritual side of us?

I recently mentioned a visit to some friend’s house, Bill and June Merchant, in which June claimed to have less than a green thumb. She said everything she planted “would usually just pass away.” But when it comes to our spiritual food, God is the farmer who within His recorded word, the Bible, has successfully grown and harvested an overwhelming crop for our hungry souls. Question is: who will prepare and serve the meals for our souls to consume?

I figure I am speaking mostly to the layperson, possibly most of which would answer by saying, the pastor, of course. And by now you probably know I’m going to disagree.

“What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works?” James 2:14.

A very short list of some notable Biblical laypeople who accomplished much might include:

Noah — “A preacher of righteousness.” 2 Peter 2:5.

John the Baptist — “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of the Lord.” Matthew 3:3.

Tabitha (also known as Dorcas) — “This woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did.” Acts 9:36.

Mary, sister of Martha — “Anointed the feet of Jesus.” John 12:3.

Aquila and Priscilla — They took in the apostle Paul and he “lived and worked with them.” Acts 18:3.

Mother Theresa once said: “Some of us are called to serve in the limelight while others are called to serve in the shadows. Some are privileged to receive the world’s accolades and rewards, but most of us aren’t. Should we be discouraged? Not for a moment! With God, faithfulness counts as success.”

As our fellow layman Bill demonstrated, might I this day encourage you to always be on the lookout for ways to help serve up a good spiritual meal for some hungry soul.

“For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” James 2:26.

Ohio State Fair manager Virgil Strickler retires

COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced that a nationwide search for the next general manager of the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair is now underway.

During a joint news conference June 1, Virgil Strickler, who has served as the Expo Center and State Fair’s general manager since 2004, announced that he will retire around the end of the year.

Fairfield County native Strickler is the longest-running general manager in the history of the Ohio State Fair. He began his career at the Ohio Expo Center in 1993 as agriculture director and was then selected for the role of general manager in January 2004.

“Today is bittersweet. I will be forever grateful for the last three decades at the Ohio State Fair,” Strickler said, in a statement. “I’ve grown up at fairs, and Ohio’s county and independent fairs are what makes our state fair so strong. I’ve watched my children, and now grandchildren, grow up here. The state fair means so much to generations of Ohioans, and I’m proud of the strong partnerships we’ve developed over the years, and how they have helped our state fair grow and improve each year.”

Strickler was instrumental in implementing the Ohio State Fair’s nationally recognized Youth Reserve Program in 1995, which has awarded $4.6 million in scholarships to more than 44,500 youth exhibitors since its inception. In recognition of Strickler’s dedication to the Ohio State Fair over the past three decades, DeWine renamed the program in his honor. The program will now be known as the Virgil L. Strickler Youth Reserve Program.

“Virgil has poured his all into these grounds over the past three decades,” said Angela Krile, chair of the Ohio Expositions Commission, in a statement. “He has paved the way for continued investments in our next generation of leaders and for great improvements at the Ohio Expo Center through the Expo 2050 Master Plan, and I am confident that both the Fair and Expo will continue his legacy of excellence and dedication to the youth of Ohio for years to come.”

Replacement search. Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Mary Mertz, who also serves as a member of the Ohio Expositions Commission, will chair the committee responsible for identifying candidates for the general manager position.

Details about the position and how to apply are available at ohiostatefair.com and ohioexpocenter. com. Job applications will be accepted until Sept. 1, with the goal of having a new general manager in place by the start of the new year.

More about Strickler. Strickler’s professional history began when he worked as an agricultural lender in 1979 at BancOhio National Bank. He then moved on to Producers Livestock Association, where he remained through 1993 when he started as the agricultural director at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair. In fact, through his 30 years of service, Strickler continued to hold this position as agricultural director and oversees the more than 20,000 agricultural, livestock, and horse show entries at the Ohio State Fair.

He was promoted to Assistant General Manager in 1998. At his

STRICKLER

direction, facility improvements such as air conditioning and ventilation improvements occurred in several buildings, and innovative award-winning agricultural education programs were introduced.

Outside of the fair, Strickler serves on the Ohio Fair Managers Association board, and has been actively involved in a number of other boards and organizations including the Ohio Department of Agriculture Livestock Exhibition Advisory Board, Ohio Agricultural Council, Ohio Amusement Ride Safety Board, Experience Columbus and the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.

Strickler has been recognized with several industry awards including the 4-H Fifth ‘H’ Award for his contribution to youth development (2000), the Honorary American FFA Degree (2018), and the Meritorious Service Award from The Ohio State University (2019) and the Ohio Friend of 4-H Award (2023). He was also inducted into the Ohio Fair Managers Association Hall of Fame (2014), as well as the Ohio Agricultural Hall of Fame (2017).

Place one-quarter each of the fennel and onion and 2 sprigs each dill and parsley on a long sheet of parchment; top with salted steaks, one-quarter each fennel and onion, and 2 sprigs each dill and parsley. Fold the parchment to make a packet. Repeat the process to make another packet. With kitchen twine, tie one packet to a wire rack; place in the pot. Cover; poach until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Use tongs and a spatula to transfer the rack to a rimmed baking sheet. Carefully open the packet. Remove skin and any brown fat; discard. Transfer the fish to a platter, discarding the vegetables; cover. Cook the other packet. Reserve one tablespoon cooking liquid. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cooking liquid in a bowl. Stir in the chopped dill and chives; season with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and mix well to combine. Allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. Preheat the grill to medium heat, and grease the grill with vegetable oil. When ready to grill, thread the chicken onto the skewers, with the vegetables in between the chicken kabobs. Pour any leftover marinade on top of the chicken kabobs. Grill the chicken kabobs until fully cooked and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers every couple minutes to allow for even cooking. Remove the chicken from the grill and serve either on or off the skewers.

l Caprese Skewers

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil

• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder

• 1/8 tsp. kosher salt

• ½ tsp. hot sauce

Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry. Build a high rim for crust. Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven heat to 375 F. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside. Cook the bacon and remove it from the skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat in the skillet. Cook the onion until transparent. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry. Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Pour the mixture over the cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet. Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Abraham Drainage is growing to meet demand Page 2

BUILDING ON A LEGACY

Unkefer Sales — still the same great team Page 18

By Gail C. Keck

AMHERST, Ohio — With today’s high farmland prices, adding more land may not be the most cost-effective way for a farmer to expand production.

Better drainage. Taylor Abraham, owner of Abraham Drainage and Excavation, explained that better drainage can help many farmers increase production with a much lower investment. “You can have anywhere from a 15 all the way up to 30% yield increase on a systematically tiled farm,” Abraham pointed out.

For instance, consider a cost of about $1,200 an acre to install drainage. For a difficult farm, the cost might be up to $1,700 an acre, he explained. “That’s the cheapest land you can buy, just tiling your own farm.”

With better drainage, a farmer can harvest bigger crops without some of the added costs additional land would bring, Abraham added. “You don’t need to up your equipment size, you don’t need to spread more fertilizer, you don’t need to get a bigger operating loan. You literally can run what you already have and it’s like you’re farming more acres.”

Growth. The quick growth of Abraham’s drainage business

is one indication of the strong demand for agricultural drainage. The business is based in Amherst, Ohio, in Lorain County. Most of his business is done within an hour and a half of Lorain County, although he has taken on jobs in Pennsylvania and across Ohio on the Michigan and Indiana borders.

Abraham launched his business in 2019 doing mostly residential drainage and excavation projects. Now he and the five members of his work crew are running three tile plows. He has 1.3 million feet of tile sold for installation this year.

“We’ve really accelerated our growth.”

History. Abraham grew up helping his grandfather with his family farm and drainage business. He then spent three and a half years in the military, working as a combat medic, before leaving the service and taking jobs in a steel mill and with an excavation business. Eventually, he returned to his grandfather’s farm and drainage business where he worked full-time for seven years.

In September of 2019, the time came for Abraham to launch his own drainage and excavation business. He began with $200 and a pickup truck. Later that year, he added a mini-excavator. At the time he was newly married, and he and his wife used $15,000 they had received for their wedding for the down payment, he said.

For the first two years, Abraham focused mostly on small residential excavation and drainage jobs, he said. “I just started in people’s back yards doing French drains and downspouts.”

His goal, however, was to expand into farm drainage. “This was the only way I could get back as close to farming as I could,” he said.

At the end of the end of his second year in business, Abraham took out a loan to buy a wheel machine for installing drainage tile. “It was more money than our house at that point in time,” he recalled.

That machine allowed him to expand into agricultural drainage and he continued to expand, investing profits back into the business. His most recent equipment addition is a selfpropelled tile plow.

Expansion. Bringing on a crew of employees has also helped with business expansion. Abraham said he looked specifically

Planting the seeds for success at Farm Science Review 2023

LONDON, Ohio — Planting season is underway across Ohio and the midwest, and the Farm Science Review staff is hard at work preparing for this year’s show. The annual farm show is set to take place Sept. 19-21 at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center, and the seeds to a successful FSR have been planted, literally, this spring.

“We dedicate 500 of our acres at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center to field demonstrations that take place during Farm Science Review,” said Zachrich. “We are on track for this year’s harvest demonstrations thanks to the optimal weather that has allowed us to plant in a timely manner.”

The well-known FSR field demonstrations are unique to this threeday event.

for people to hire who share his passion for agriculture to help grow the business.

“The key is creating that company culture,” he said. “We want it to feel like when you come to work you’re part of a small family operation.”

As he builds his business, Abraham said he’s looking for ways to use modern technology to improve drainage system design. He also stresses the use of top-quality fittings and tile.

A farmer might get only one chance in a lifetime to buy a certain piece of ground and Abraham said he feels the same about drainage jobs. He’ll only get one chance to drain any particular field, so he wants to do it right, he said. “I want my product to last generations.”

“We take a lot of pride in offering our visitors the opportunity to witness both corn and soybean harvesting demonstrations,” said Zachrich. “No other farm show offers their attendees that up-close-and-personal opportunity for harvest of both crops.”

As of May 23, all 500 acres dedicated to field demonstrations have been planted.

“Planting started April 15 and we are wrapping up planting the remaining 1,500 acres at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center,” said Nate Douridas, farm manager of Molly Caren Agricultural Center.

“A lot of hard work and preparation go into holding this three-day farm show and with 60 years under our belt, we are proud to be a place where brands and businesses continue to come year-after-year to showcase their newest technology and

innovative products,” said Zachrich.

Farm Science Review offers an extensive range of opportunities to learn and grow for individuals in the agricultural and environmental science industries.

“We thrive on the cutting-edge conversations that attendees take part in every September,” said Zachrich. “This year, we expect a bountiful harvest and top-notch field demos at the show, too.”

Tickets for the 2023 Farm Science Review are available to purchase both online (now available) and at extension offices and select agribusinesses across Ohio and Indiana (beginning in July). Tickets will be $15

at the gate. Children 5 and under are free.

Farm Science Review is hosted by the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. Year-afteryear, Farm Science Review welcomes more than 100,000 attendees and over 300 different exhibitors to the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio, making it a hub for agricultural innovation and education.

Show hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 19-20 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sept. 21. For more information, visit fsr. osu.edu or follow Farm Science Review on social media.

Russia agrees to extend Ukraine grain deal

By Suzan Fraser and Courtney Bonnell

Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Russia agreed to a two-month extension of a deal that has allowed Ukraine to ship grain through the Black Sea to parts of the world struggling with hunger, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced May 17.

Turkey and the U.N. brokered the breakthrough accord with the warring sides last summer, which came with a separate agreement to facilitate shipments of Russian food and fertilizer that Moscow insists hasn’t been applied.

Russia threatened to bow out if its concerns were not ironed out by May 18. Such brinkmanship isn’t new: With a similar extension in the balance in March, Russia unilaterally decided to renew the deal for 60 days instead of the 120 days outlined in the agreement.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said May 17 that problems would need to be resolved “at the technical level.” Neither she nor Erdogan

mentioned any concessions Moscow may have received.

“We will continue our efforts to ensure that all the conditions of the agreement are fulfilled so that it continues in the next period,” said Erdogan, who announced the highly anticipated decision two days after being forced into a runoff in Turkey’s presidential election.

Win. Extending the Black Sea Grain Initiative is a win for countries in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia that rely on Ukrainian wheat, barley, vegetable oil and other affordable food products, especially as drought takes a toll. The deal helped lower prices of food commodities like wheat over the last year, but that relief has not reached kitchen tables.

“Ukrainian and Russian products feed the world,” U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said. “They matter because we are still in the throes of a record-breaking cost-of-living crisis.”

Russian delays. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Kubrakov welcomed the extension, but emphasized that the deal “has to work effectively.” On Facebook, he blamed Russia for dragging its

heels on joint inspections of ships by Russian, Ukrainian, U.N. and Turkish officials.

Average daily inspections — meant to ensure vessels carry only food and not weapons that could aid either side — have steadily dropped from a peak of 10.6 in October to 3.2 last month. Shipments of Ukra inian grain also have declined in recent weeks.

Russia had denied slowing the work. No vessels have been cleared to enter Ukraine’s three open ports since May 6, and Kubrakov says nearly 70 vessels are waiting in Turkish waters to participate.

Russia, meanwhile, is shipping record amounts of its wheat through other ports. Critics say that suggests Moscow was posturing or trying to wrest concessions in areas such as Western sanctions.

The deal. The deal has allowed over 30 million metric tons of Ukrainian grain to be shipped, with more than half that going to developing nations. China, Spain and Turkey are the biggest recipients, and Russia says that shows food isn’t going to the poorest countries.

Guterres has said developed

countries bring in Ukrainian corn for animal feed, while emerging economies receive “a majority” of grain for people to eat. He noted exports bring prices down for everyone.

“Looking ahead, we hope that exports of food and fertilizers, including ammonia, from the Russian Federatio n and Ukraine will be able to reach global supply chains safely and predictably,” the U.N. chief said May 17.

Russia is expected to export more wheat than any country ever has in one year, at 44 million metric tons, said Caitlin Welsh, director of the Global Food Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Trade flows tracked by financial data provider Refinitiv show that Russia exported just over 4 million tons of wheat in April, the highest volume for the month in five years, following record or near-record highs in several previous months.

Exports since last July reached 32.2 million tons, 34% above the same period from last season, according to Refinitiv.

Welsh says Russia knows that the less grain Ukraine can export,

the more it can make up for the shortfall. And restrictions on Black Sea shipments mean the war-torn country would have to rely more on land routes through the European Union, which has stirred anger from its neighbors.

“The more it restricts Ukraine’s access to Black Sea ports, the better it is for its political influence with trading partners and the better it is for Russia in the sense that it’s straining unity among EU member states and their support for Ukraine,” she said.

With Ukraine’s wheat harvest coming up in June and the need to sell that crop in July, maintaining a Black Sea shipping corridor is key to avoid “taking another large chunk of wheat and other grains off the market,” said William Osnato, a senior research analyst at agriculture data and analytics firm Gro Intelligence.

It comes as places including Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Syria and East Africa — big importers of food — are facing drought and economic issues that are likely to keep food prices high.

The webinar is free, and preregistration is required. Space is limited to 500 participants. Registered participants will receive a recording. Register at bit.ly/solarJune2023.

Questions can be directed to Joseph C. Conklin at juc50@psu.edu.

Robotic feeding. One of the highlights of the year has been working alongside one of our valued customers to install a Trioliet robotic feeding system. The system is controlled by computer, and the feeder will pick up each feed item in the proper amount for the desired rations, then after the last stop, will mix the feed thoroughly.

Once the feed is mixed, the robotic feeder quietly and steadily rolls down the row, evenly dispensing feed to the cows. It can also be set to push the feed between feedings to keep it fresh, so the cows keep eating, which results in less waste and higher milk production.

A robotic feed center is another type of robotic system which they have recently had the opportunity to install. This system is geared toward a larger facility and uses a large stationary Trioliet mixer to mix the various components which are measured into it from the hoppers. Once the feed is thoroughly mixed, it is loaded into a truck for delivery to the various barns.

The system can be programmed to prepare various mixes to meet the needs of animals in various growth

Schwartz Farms Partnership specializes in seed and grain

CORTLAND, Ohio — Schwartz Farms Partnership is a family-owned farm and seed company, specializing in seed and specialty grain.

Established predominately as a dairy farm by Thomas Schwartz Sr. in 1956, the services and products offered at Schwartz Farms have evolved over time, while still retaining its dedication to meeting the demands of local and global agriculture and helping others maximize their seed results.

Today, Schwartz Farms is operated as a general partnership between brothers Dan and Tom Jr., and has expanded its operations to include growing, conditioning, cleaning, packaging and/or selling corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, rye and grass seed.

Starting in 1996, and to this day, they continue to specialize in foodgrade soybeans and sending food quality soybeans domestically and internationally.

Expand. In 2021, they expanded their diversity by adding a commercial grain elevator facility near their home farm named Westfield Specialty Grains.

Even with the continual additions and upgrades to their facilities and equipment, they continue to pri-

oritize being grain farmers by raising crops on over 3,000 acres.

In 2022, they added more grain bins for Westfield Specialty Grains LLC, a commercial grain elevator. Westfield Specialty Grains purchases commodity grains and Identity Preserved grains for the export market.

The foodgrade export business has continued to grow and expand, including products for domestic companies. They now purchase nonGMO beans to be exported internationally for the feed market.

Lastly, they have begun to grow high protein (48-50%) soybeans for the domestic soy-based food products market. These high protein soybeans are being used in various vegan products to compete with pea protein.

For all domestic and international export businesses, they pay sizable premiums.

Growth. The three key growth areas are:

1. Variety specific foodgrade soybean acres and growers, to ship both international and domestic

2. High protein beans for the domestic soy-based food market

3. Non-GMO soybean acres and growers for the international feed market

These continue to grow at a rate nearly impossible to keep up with.

Coia is a full-service Kubota dealership

Focus. The biggest focus for the remainder of the 2023 year is finding contract growers for the 2024 crop season, for foodgrade soybeans, non-GMO soybean seed and high-protein soybeans.

Next, they are also focused on purchasing commodity grains at Westfield Specialty Grains.

They will also continue to produce pure and high-quality seed for customers’ needs

Lastly, they are figuring out how to deal with the challenges around high input costs for growers.

Schwartz Farms sells a variety of seed companies including, but not limited to, AgVenture, LG Seeds, Golden Harvest, AgriMAXX, AgriPRO, AGI and Ohio Certified Seeds.

They also produce, clean and package their own pure and highquality seed for all of their customers’ needs. This helps are customers feel confident that the seed they are purchasing is above industry standards.

They also offer delivery for all new equipment and pick up and delivery for your service needs. Some of the major brands they carry: Toro, Husqvarna, Simplicity, Stihl, Echo, Land Pride, Belco, Meyers, Western and Snow Ex.

History. Coia Sales begin doing business in 1980. In April of 2020, Daywalt Management purchased the business with the plan to build a new 30,000 square-foot state of the art facility that would offer customers a large showroom, expanded parts department and a 12,000 square foot service department.

In September of 2021, they moved into the new building at 4393 Lynn Road, Ravenna, Ohio; which offers easy access and great visibility from route 76.

Accomplishments. During 2022, the business grew substantially as a result of the new location. Although they struggled with equipment availability, they

still achieved a substantial increase in sales and achieved Elite Dealer Status with Kubota. We also added additional sales, parts and technicians to help with growth and expansion.

They have grown in all areas of our business as a result of the new facility. They have increased the number of units sold, as well as related parts and service.

The availability of equipment has improved. They now have a full show room of equipment available and the amount of inventory available is now at acceptable levels. They have most items in stock at this time. T

he industry has suffered slightly from the increase in interest rates; however, Kubota and our other lenders have offered improved finance programs to help mitigate the effect of the interest rate increases. Kubota, in particular is very competitive and continues to offer 0% financing on many of our products.

Coia will stay focused on providing outstanding service to customers. They will continue to advertise and promote the growth of products. They have developed a seasoned parts department, along with successfully adding experienced technicians to the service department. This allows them to meet the increase demand.

Dickinson Cattle Co. offering ranch tours

BARNESVILLE, Ohio — In the twilight of day’s end a car moves slow, down and around on Muskrat Road through Dickinson Cattle Co. Muskrat Road was a coal haul road during the early 1970s. It cuts 4 miles through the middle of today’s Dickinson Cattle Co. The company owns the road as well as parts of Fairview Road and part of Ohio No. 800, yet years ago the governments were given free an easement for public travel.

In the late 1990s, things began to blossom in the Muskrat Valley. The Dickinson family started offering public tours of the cattle herds, pastures and lakes where the more attractive scenery could be reached by the ranch buses.

Tours. Ranch employees chauffeur daily loads of guests. The guides present a 75 minute dialog about the history of Belmont County, strip mining of Muskrat Valley, Texas longhorns and historic characters who where born, raised or lived near

or actually on the ranch — Hopalong Cassidy, Governor Wilson Shannon, Hanging Judge Isaac Parker, Johnny Appleseed and lesser know illegal operators, Mart and Milly Wilde, the Vinegar Valley bootleggers.

From spring until fall, the Longhorns Head To Tail Tours are offered across the ranch. Tours go six days a week, except Sunday, for 10 or more people, by appointment. Always call ahead.

The tours go all over the rolling hills then terminate at the Longhorn Head To Tail ranch store. Even if guests don’t do a public bus tour, the store is open six days a week all year. It is free to view the store/museum and also free to drive Muskrat Valley road through the ranch. The ranch store is famous for lean USA grown Texas Longhorn beef.

For more information, visit head2tail.com or longhorntours.com or for appointments call, 740-758-5050. Dickinson Cattle Co. is at 35000 Muskrat Road, Barnesville, Ohio.

Ohio protects historic, geological phenomenon

KELLEYS ISLAND, Ohio — A geological and historic formation, carved over millions of years, now features new enhancements that will further protect the natural wonder and help give visitors an up-close look at the phenomenon. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Ohio History Connection celebrated the $2.27 million in upgrades at Glacial Grooves Geological Preserve on Kelleys Island.

These improvements will enhance the visitor experience and help protect the grooves from the kinds of natural impacts that cause degradation over time. Visitors from around the world will find new bridges, parking, fencing, signage, and even selfie spots to help capture the fun.

According to ODNR’s Division of Geological Survey, the grooves were carved by water that flowed under a giant glacier 12,000 years ago. This carving exposed 400-million-year-old Columbus limestone from the Devonian period. The area originally contained many more grooves, but most were quarried away in the 1800s.

The Ohio History Connection has preserved these glacial grooves since the organization was deeded

the property by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in 1932 and 1934, but most of the remnant grooves remained covered by glacial till until the 1970s. The grooves were uncovered in 1971 and 1972 by the Ohio State University Department of Geology, under the direction of the Ohio History Connection, and have been fully visible and preserved for the past five decades.

In May, the Ohio History Connection voted to approve a transfer of ownership of the property over to ODNR.

The glacial grooves are a global attraction, with an estimated 100,000 guests visiting the feature each year. The exposed grooves are more than 400 feet long, 10 feet deep, and 33 feet wide and are located on the north side of the island.

Open sunrise to sunset and always free of charge, visitors can enjoy the glacial grooves as part of a fun day on Kelleys Island. To access the island, visitors can take a ferry from the mainland, travel by boat, or travel by air. More details are found on the Kelleys Island Chamber of Commerce website at kelleysislandchamber.com/getting-here/.

All award winners will be recognized at the Brevant seeds Forage Superbowl Luncheon Oct. 4 at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.

The World Forage Analysis Superbowl is organized in partner-

ship between Dairyland Laboratories, Inc., Hay & Forage Grower, US Dairy Forage Research Center, University of Wisconsin and World Dairy Expo. To learn more, visit foragesuperbowl.org.

THE PERFECT BALE STARTS WITH THE PERFECT PAIR

New LED strategies could

By Steve Koppes

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have designed two simple LED lighting strategies to increase yield and reduce energy costs for the vertical farming sector of indoor agriculture.

The close-canopy and focusedlighting strategies developed by Ph.D. candidate Fatemeh Sheibani and professor Cary Mitchell, both in the department of horticulture and landscape architecture in Purdue’s College of Agriculture, capitalize on LED lighting’s special properties.

“One is that they are relatively cool at the emitting surface, in contrast with other lighting choices,” Sheibani said.

Thus, the lighting system works closer to plants without scorching them. LEDs are also current driven, unlike many energy-intensive, voltage-driven lighting sources. Their work is part of a project called OptimIA (Optimizing Indoor Agriculture).

The project, led by Michigan State University, includes collaborators at Purdue, University of Arizona and Ohio State University. OptimIA is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Specialty Crop Research Initiative.

In vertical agriculture, produce grows using LEDs as the sole lighting source. “It is the fastest-growing sector of controlled-environment ag,” Mitchell said. “There are new startups going on in urban and para-urban areas all the time, and worldwide.”

Costs. Fueled by an enthusiastic investment sector, the U.S. is a worldwide industry leader. But labor and energy costs, totaling about 60% of running an indoor farm, threaten the startups’ future.

Inflation and rising energy costs have made an already fragile industry even more so. Startup costs are also high, both for land in urban areas and for LED lighting system installment. But indoor farms can easily lower energy use while achieving their usual yield with the closecanopy-lighting strategy. Or, they can increase yield while maintaining their previous energy use.

Indoor farmers can dim the voltage of a 1,000-watt, high-pressure sodium lamp with a rheostat, but that merely turns the energy into heat without any savings. “It’s hidden energy,” Mitchell said.

But with the LEDs, the current flow can be reduced, and light output is reduced proportionally. Close-canopy lighting works because LEDs shine in all directions, like the sun. At standard plant/light separation distances, significant light streaming at wide angles over the plants misses them entirely. But with reduced separation distances, the plants absorb light that would otherwise go to waste.

Today, indoor farms can affordably offer only leafy greens and culinary herbs to consumers. Their quick growth allows for many cropping cycles year-round, unlike produce grown in gardens or fields. And once they reach high-cost urban areas, indoorproduced salad kits and leafy greens might sell for $16 or $17 a pound.

“What they sell you in the store in a clamshell or as an individual plant is just a fraction of a pound,” Mitchell said.

LEDs are the lighting system of choice for indoor farming because of their relative energy efficiency and long lifetimes, Sheibani said. But improved LEDs also have high photon

efficacy, meaning that electric energy is more readily converted to light that plants can use efficiently. Still, inefficient capture of LED light reduces their benefits. Placement. Many indoor farmers, for instance, mistakenly believe that they can place their LEDs anywhere. But Sheibani and Mitchell noticed both in vertical farms and in smaller-scale experiments that the light fell not only on the plants but also on the walls and walkways.

Penn State’s Ag Progress

Days on tap for Aug. 8-10

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Planning is well underway for Penn State’s 2023 Ag Progress Days exposition, which will be held Aug. 8-10 in Centre County.

Sponsored by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the expo is held at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, 9 miles southwest of State College on state Route 45. Admission and parking are free.

The core audience for the event is the agricultural community, but planned activities also have a strong appeal for home gardeners, conservationists, youth and families, woodland owners, horse enthusiasts, and anyone interested in how science drives food production and natural-resource management, according to Jesse Darlington, Ag Progress Days manager.

“We aim to offer programs and exhibits that provide producers with information that will help them improve their operations,” he said, “while at the same time promoting ag literacy and providing practical advice and enjoyment for consumers, families, gardeners and others.”

Ag Progress Days typically features roughly 500 commercial and educational exhibitors. Commercial exhibits will showcase the latest ag-related goods and services, and field demonstrations will feature the newest models of farm machinery in action.

Interactive educational displays and workshops will highlight the latest science-based practices, and visitors can take guided tours to see some of the research underway at the surrounding, 2,100-acre Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center.

Darlington noted that the College of Agricultural Sciences Exhibits Building and Theater will provide a hub for expert information and presentations on a variety of current and emerging issues.

Faculty and Penn State Extension educators also will be on hand at several locations throughout the grounds to answer questions and provide information on crop, dairy, livestock and equine production; conservation practices; integrated pest management; woodlot management; farm safety; foods and nutrition; home gardening; 4-H youth programs; and other topics.

Other planned activities and attractions include healthy recipe demonstrations, a corn maze, horse exhibitions and clinics, wildlife displays, children’s activities, exhibits of antique farm and home implements in the Pasto Agricultural Museum, and a wide variety of food booths.

Darlington said additional details about Ag Progress Days exhibits, events and activities will be released in the coming weeks.

Ag Progress Days hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 8; 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 9; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 10.

the Ag Progress Days website. Twitter users can find and share information about the event by using the hashtag #agprogressdays, and the event also can be found on Facebook (@AgProgressDays).

By reducing the distance between the LED system and the leaf canopy, the researchers were able to reduce such wasted light. “We can improve canopy photon capture efficiency, as we call it, as long as we use LEDs correctly,” Sheibani said. “Canopy photon capture efficiency is the fraction of photons that reach the photosynthesizing machinery of the plants.”

Sheibani measures waste via a

ratio of plant growth to LED electrical energy consumption. The resulting energy utilization efficiency compares grams of fresh or dry biomass yield per kilowatt hour of energy consumed by the LED lighting system. “The higher the grams of fresh or dry biomass produced per kilowatt hour, the better it is,” she said.

And both of Purdue’s tested scenarios found that the closest separation distance had the highest energy utilization efficiency. Sheibani and Mitchell also are testing an energy-saving, focusedlighting approach that relies on a custom-made LED system with selective controls.

How do small, individual, widely separated plants fare under slowly spreading beams of light rather than full coverage all the time? “When seedlings emerge after germination, the very small plants are wide apart,” Mitchell said. “It takes two weeks for them to grow together and close a can-

opy of baby greens. Everything in between is mostly wasted light until then.”

Waste. Sheibani and Mitchell’s system minimizes that waste. When plants are still small, they use full-coverage LED lighting inefficiently, Sheibani said. But it is possible to save energy in the earlier growth stages with focused lighting.

“Then when the plants are at the stage that they can use light efficiently, we can upgrade to provide the optimum amount,” she said.

OptimIA offers more information in free video presentations at OptimIAUniversity and the Indoor Ag Science Cafe. “There’s a lot of excitement about indoor ag and people are jumping into it,” Mitchell said. “But they don’t really have the secret for long-term profitability yet. That’s where academic research such as the OptimIA project comes in to help.”

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — Hundreds of goats munch on long blades of yellow grass on a hillside next to a sprawling townhouse complex. They were hired to clear vegetation that could fuel wildfires as temperatures rise this summer.

These voracious herbivores are in high demand to devour weeds and shrubs that have proliferated across California after a drought-busting winter of heavy rain and snow.

“It’s a huge fuel source. If it was left untamed, it can grow very high. And then when the summer dries everything out, it’s perfect fuel for a fire,” said Jason Poupolo, parks superintendent for the city of West Sacramento, where goats grazed on a recent afternoon.

Targeted grazing is part of California’s strategy to reduce wildfire risk because goats can eat a wide variety of vegetation and graze in steep, rocky terrain that’s hard to access. Backers say they’re an eco-friendly alternative to chemical herbicides or

weed-whacking machines that are make noise and pollution.

Increase in cost. But new state labor regulations are making it more expensive to provide goat-grazing services, and herding companies say the rules threaten to put them out of business. The changes could raise the monthly salary of herders from about $3,730 to $14,000, according to the California Farm Bureau.

Companies typically put about one herder in charge of 400 goats. Many of the herders in California are from Peru and live in employer-provided trailers near grazing sites. Labor advocates say the state should investigate the working and living conditions of goatherders before making changes to the law, especially since the state is funding goat-grazing to reduce wildfire risk.

California is investing heavily in wildfire prevention after the state was ravaged by several years of destructive flames that scorched millions of acres, destroyed thousands of homes and killed dozens of people. Goats have been used to clear fuels around Lake Oroville, along

Highway 101, and near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

“My phone rings off the hook this time of year,” said Tim Arrowsmith, owner of Western Grazers, which is providing grazing services to West Sacramento. “The demand has grown year after year after year.”

His company, based in the Northern California city of Red Bluff, has about 4,000 goats for hire to clear vegetation for government agencies and private landowners across

Northern California.

Looking for a fix. Without a fix to the new regulations, “we will be forced to sell these goats to slaughter and to the auction yards, and we’ll be forced out of business and probably file for bankruptcy,” Arrowsmith said.

Companies have historically been allowed to pay goat and sheepherders a monthly minimum salary rather than an hourly minimum wage, because their jobs require them to be on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a

week. But legislation signed in 2016 also entitles them to overtime pay.

It effectively boosted the herders’ minimum monthly pay from $1,955 in 2019 to $3,730 this year. It’s set to hit $4,381 in 2025, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations.

So far the herding companies, which have sued over the law, have passed along most of the increased labor costs to their customers.

Equivalent to farmworkers. But in January, those labor costs are set to jump sharply again. Goatherders and sheepherders have always followed the same set of labor rules last year. But a state agency has ruled that’s no longer allowed, meaning goatherders would be subject to the same labor laws as other farmworkers.

That would mean goatherders would be entitled to ever higher pay — up to $14,000 a month. Last year a budget trailer bill delayed that pay requirement for one year, but it’s set to take affect on Jan. 1 if nothing is done to change the law.

Goatherding companies say they can’t afford to pay herders that much. They would have to drastically raise their rates, which would make it unaffordable to provide goat grazing services.

“We fully support increasing wages for herders, but $14,000 a month is not realistic. So we need to address that in order to allow these goat-grazing operations to exist,” said Brian Shobe, deputy policy director for the California Climate and Agriculture Network.

Pushing legislation. The goatgrazing industry is pushing the Legislature to approve legislation that would treat goatherders the same as sheepherders. A bill to do so hasn’t yet received a public hearing.

Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, who heads the California Labor Federation, said goatherders are among the “most vulnerable workers in America” because they are on temporary work visas and can be fired and sent back to their home country anytime. Most of them work in isolation, speak minimal English and don’t have the same rights as Americans or green-card holders.

“We have a responsibility as a public to ensure that every worker who’s working in California is treated with dignity and respect, and that includes these goatherders,” said Gonzalez Fletcher, who sponsored the farmworker overtime bill when she was a state Assemblywoman representing San Diego.

Arrowsmith employs seven goatherders from Peru under the H-2A visa program for temporary farmworkers. He said the herders are paid about $4,000 a month and don’t have to pay for food, housing or phones.

“I can’t pay $14,000 a month to an employee starting Jan. 1. There’s just not enough money. The cities can’t absorb that kind of cost,” Arrowsmith said. “What’s at stake for the public is your house could burn up because we can’t fire-mitigate.”

MINERVA, Ohio — Customers

of Unkefer Sales, in Minerva, Ohio, might notice some new landscaping, remodeled showrooms and upgrades to the shop, but the most important aspect of the business hasn’t changed, said Jake Wilhite, one of the company’s new owners.

Most long-term employees have stayed with the dealership so their understanding of the community and customers remains. “You’re still going to get the same great team,” he explained. History. Unkefer Sales dates back to 1968 when the business was founded by Homer Unkefer. Continuing with the legacy of the Unkefer family is important to the new owners, Wilhite said. “They’ve

always done a fantastic job and we’re proud to have that name.” Wilhite and co-owners Dave Daywalt and Vince Naska finalized the purchase of the dealership last April and finished updating the facilities in December.

Updates. The changes reconfigured the interior of the dealership to make better use of the available space for the equipment showroom and

parts area, said Wilhite. They also updated equipment in the shop, constructed a new asphalt parking area

and installed new bathroom facilities. Although the business will no longer be selling new equipment from New Holland, customers can continue to rely on Unkefer Sales for New Holland parts and service. The same ownership group owns Edinburg Tractor Sales just down the road, Wilhite pointed out.

“If you want a New Holland tractor or hay baler or whatever, we can still sell you that.”

Continuing to offer New Holland parts and providing repair service at the Unkefer location is an important part of their business in the Minerva area, Wilhite added. “We sell a lot of parts and do a lot of service on that New Holland equipment.”

In addition to Unkefer Sales and Edinburg Tractor, the ownership group also owns Coia Sales in Ravenna, serving customers across northeast Ohio. Equipment. Unkefer Sales continues to carry Kubota equipment and has added three new brands of equipment: Husqvarna, Hustler and Simplicity. The dealership also offers a wide range of parts for lawn and garden equipment in addition to farm machinery. They’ve been seeing an increase in demand for lawn and garden equipment, so they’ve added more product lines to serve customers better, explained Wilhite.

The dealership’s experienced mechanics provide service for farm equipment as well as lawn tractors, mowers and even smaller equipment such as chainsaws. Several of the mechanics

on staff have more than 10 years of experience at Unkefer Sales and one has been on the staff for over 40 years.

Providing the equipment, parts and services customers need is a priority for Unkefer Sales, Wilhite explained. “One of the things that differentiates us more than anyone else is our customer service.”

While COVID-19 caused some supply chain challenges in recent years, product availability has improved greatly in recent months, Wilhite said. “The supply chain is definitely starting to open up.”

Customers who have been putting off purchases will find that more equipment is now available. Customers interested in Kubota equipment can also benefit from the company’s financing program, Wilhite added.

Although most lenders have been raising interest rates, Kubota continues to offer 0% financing.

Details. For more information, contact Unkefer Sales at 330-8686419, or by email at sales@unkefereq. com. The dealership is also online at unkefereq.com.

Unkefer Sales is at 1115 N. Market St., Minerva. The dealership is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturdays.

Life Out Loud!

A little dirt can’t hurt

Generation X is the designation given to anyone born from 1965 to 1980. We are the last generation of newborns who rode home from the hospital on our mother’s lap. That was basically a prescription for our entire childhood: “hold on and hope for the best.”

We were latchkey kids in large numbers. This meant we got home from school, let ourselves into an unattended home and did our chores (halfheartedly) before our parent(s) arrived home. Sometimes we liked to unwind after a long day at school with a candy cigarette.

My mom was more protective than some. I had to call her office to check in that I was safely home after school. I used to call my mother on a landline phone, bother a secretary and wait on hold, just so I could ask my mom if I could make the pizza rolls I found in the freezer.

Feral. Summer, however, was when our feral nature was really allowed to shine. I was a combination of “city” kid (if we use the term city very loosely) and a country kid.

I grew up in a college town with tree-lined streets and watchful neighbors. I could walk to the library and corner drug store — aka the candy store — by myself by age 9.

I spent weekends and summers at my grandparents’ respective country dwellings. Acres of land and barns full of large animals, unattended bodies of water and rusty objects kept things interesting.

Whether it was a live PTO, plodding hooves, the towering height of a hay loft or a random rooster flying through the air intent on pecking your head, we lost count of how many times we almost died every summer.

I think it is now apparent that the Flintstones vitamin we took every day was working overtime to keep us alive. It’s not that our caregivers didn’t care. They loved us. They just expected us to a) listen and b) have some darned sense.

Those who didn’t were liable to suffer more than those who did.

Travelers scrounging for ways to save a few bucks

By David Koening Associated Press

DALLAS — The unofficial start of the summer travel season is here, with airlines hoping to avoid the chaos of last year and travelers scrounging for ways to save a few bucks on pricey airfares and hotel rooms. Some travelers say they will settle for fewer trips than they hoped to take, or they will drive instead of fly. Others are finding different money-saving sacrifices.

Stephanie Hanrahan thought she’d save money by planning ahead for her daughter’s birthday trip to Disney World in Florida. Instead, it ended up costing the same as the family’s trip for four to California last summer, so now her husband and son are staying home.

“We just had to grit our teeth,” said Hanrahan, a writer and speaker who also runs a nonprofit, as she and daughter Campbell waited for their flight last week at Dallas Love Field.

Highs. The number of people going through U.S. airports hit pandemic-era highs last weekend.

With more travel comes more expense. The average rate for a U.S. hotel room last week was $157 a night, up from $150 in the same week last year, according to hotel data provider STR. And the average daily rate for other short-term rentals such as Airbnb and Vrbo rose to $316 last month, up 1.4% from a year ago, according to AirDNA, which tracks the industry.

There is a bit of good news for drivers. The national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.56 at midweek, down from $4.60 at this time last year, according to AAA. Renting a car is also cheaper than a year ago, when some popular destinations ran out of vehicles. Travel company Expedia said larger inventories let the companies rent more cars at lower prices.

For air travelers, airline industry officials say carriers have fixed problems that contributed to a surge in flight cancellations and delays last summer, when 52,000 flights were nixed from June through August. Airlines have hired about 30,000 workers since then, including thousands of pilots, and they are using bigger planes to reduce flights but not the number of seats.

“I don’t have the hubris to tell you exactly how the summer is going to go, but we have prepared and we have a robust plan for it,” said Southwest Airlines COO Andrew Watterson, which struggled at times over the summer of 2022 and suffered an epic meltdown around Christmas, canceling nearly 17,000 flights.

American Airlines COO David Seymour said his staff has fine-tuned a system it uses to predict the impact of storms on major airports and devise a plan for recovering from disruptions. He said it is reducing cancellations.

“It’s going to be a solid summer for us,” Seymour said.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says the government will hold airlines responsible to treat passengers fairly when the carriers cause cancellations or long delays. But just like the airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration — the agency that manages the nation’s air traffic — has had its own staffing shortages and occasional technology breakdowns that have snarled air travel.

Limit flights. The FAA resorted to nudging airlines to reduce flights in the New York City area this summer, and it opened new flight paths over the East Coast to reduce bottlenecks.

“It’s going to be an ordeal — it’s always an ordeal to travel in the summer,” said travel analyst Henry Harteveldt. “But the airlines have done a lot to improve their ability to operate well this summer.”

Airlines hope that limiting the number of flights will improve reliability and reduce delays. So far, it seems to be working. About one in every 70 U.S. flights have been canceled this year — half the rate of a year ago and lower than in 2019.

Limiting the number of flights also keeps prices above pre-pandemic levels.

A provider of travel data, Hopper, predicts that average domestic airfares will peak next month at $328 for a roundtrip ticket, which is down from last summer’s record of $400 but 4% higher than in 2019.

There are some last-minute deals on domestic

flights, Hopper found, but international fares are their highest in more than five years, with prices to Europe up 50% from a year ago.

The same thing is happening within Europe, as airlines hold the line on capacity at a time of strong travel demand.

“There is no expectation of seeing cheaper fares in Europe in the next seven or eight months,” says John Grant, an analyst for OAG, a U.K.based travel-data provider. For the travel industry, the big question is how long consumers can keep paying for airline tickets and accommodations while they try to deal with stubborn high inflation, news about layoffs and bank failures, and fear of a recession.

Industry executives say consumers are favoring the experience of travel over other types of spending,

but some analysts see cracks in the strong demand for travel that began in early 2022.

Bank of America analysts say data from their credit and debit card customers showed a slowdown in spending in April, as card use fell below year-before levels for the first time since February 2021. They say spending on hotels, which rebounded relatively early from the pandemic, dipped this spring, while the late-recovering cruise industry is still steaming ahead. Card spending on cruises rose 37% last month, although from very low levels a year ago.

“Travel remains a bright spot relative to other sectors, but we’re also seeing signs of moderation in the travel space,” said Anna Zhou, an economist for the bank.

Pulitzer Prize-nominated author to speak, June 10

MENTOR, Ohio — James A. Garfield National Historic Site has announced an upcoming author program and book signing by Brian Matthew Jordan, author of “A Thousand May Fall: Life, Death, and Survival in the Union Army” (Liveright/W.W. Norton, 2021). The presentation will be in the site’s visitor center auditorium at 2 p.m., June 10.

Auction Saturday, June 24 9:00am EST Catalog and Bidding at: www.proxibid.com/checktheoil

Auction Held in Conduction with Jagger Auctioneers OH Lic # 2012000110

“A Thousand May Fall” focuses on the Civil War experiences of the 107th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a regiment made up largely of ethnic Germans. The regiment fought in several important battles, including Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. However, they were rarely lauded for their courage but instead set apart by their language and identity and regularly questioned by a nativist Northern press.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Brian Matthew Jordan is a native of Akron, Ohio, and is an assistant professor of History at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. He is also the author of “Marching Home: Union Veterans and Their Unending Civil War,” a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in History. He previously spoke at James A. Garfield National Historic Site in 2018.

The presentation will be free of charge. Copies of the book will be for sale in the site’s Eastern National bookstore, and the author will sign books after the program.

Looking for the biggest tree in Geauga County

CHARDON, Ohio — The Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District has announced the 2023 Geauga County Big Tree Contest is currently seeking nominations.

This voluntary contest promotes the beauty and benefits provided by the county’s biggest and oldest trees, along with their contributions to clean water and healthy soil. The 2023 featured tree species is the Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata).

Distinct and strong. With eyecatching shaggy strips that curl and peel off the trunk, the bark is one of the most distinct in North America making the Shagbark Hickory easy to identify year-round. In addition, this shaggy bark provides shelter for bats, butterflies and countless insects.

These slow-growing native trees reach an average height of 60-80 feet and they are frequently found in dry uplands or moist valleys in association with other hickories and oaks. The strength of their cut timber is prized for making tool handles, athletic equipment, furniture, firewood and chips for smoking meats.

A member of the walnut family, the Shagbark Hickory produces edible nuts which are relished by squirrels, mice, wood ducks, wild turkeys, cardinals and foxes, to name a few. The leaves are compound with typically five leaflets, which turn a rich golden mustard-brown color in the fall.

Participants will submit a nomination for a Shagbark Hickory which they believe might be the largest in the county. After all nominations are submitted, qualified personnel will verify the measurements using the ODNR Division of Forestry’s Champion Trees Program procedures.

Each tree will receive a score based on trunk circumference, crown spread and total height to determine the winner. In addition, the district will consider each tree’s ability to capture stormwater along with other economic benefits. For example, one Shagbark Hickory with a diameter of 45 inches can absorb as much as 6,213 gallons of stormwater runoff each year.

The objectives of this contest are to engage residents in the management and enhancement of the county’s tree populations; to showcase the critical roles that trees play in sustaining healthy soil and clean water; and to recognize that each healthy tree in the county reduces flooding and improves water quality.

Guidelines. The guidelines for the contest are as follows:

• Nominated trees must be Shagbark Hickories located in Geauga County. Visit ohiodnr.gov/discoverand- learn/plants-trees/broad-leaftrees/shagbark-hickory-Carya-ovata to review characteristics.

• Only one nomination per individual tree. The first nomination received will be the official entry.

• The tree does not have to be on the property of the nominator; however, permission from the landowner must be obtained prior to nomination.

• Nominations must be submitted to Geauga SWCD no later than Sept. 8. Email gprunty@geauga.oh.gov or submit in person or through the mail to the Geauga SWCD, 12611 Ravenwood Drive Suite 240, Chardon, OH 44024.

Qualified District personnel will verify all nominated tree measurements and use the national tree benefit calculator (arborday.org/calculator/) to provide the stormwater runoff reduction capability. The decision of the District will be final.

Geauga County’s Biggest Tree will be recognized and awarded at the district’s annual meeting in the fall. If on public land, the biggest tree on private land will also be recognized.

If you have questions, visit geaugaswcd.com, call 440-834-1122, or email gprunty@geauga.oh.gov.

A little dirt can’t hurt

(Continued from Page B1)

That’s how you learned. That was just survival of the fittest.

We were given clear instructions: don’t stand behind that horse, don’t play around that equipment, and don’t get in the water if you cannot get yourself back out.

At home we rode bikes and threw balls in the streets. We collected rocks, feathers, random treasures and sometimes, the need for a tetanus shot. We ran with sticks. We “swam” in giant puddles and caked ourselves in mud.

We spent our summers bug bitten, sunburnt until our “base tan” took hold, saturated in sugar, exhausted at nightfall and utterly happy just running wild. I never heard the term “playdate,” not once.

I loved spending summer days with my cousin who was and remains my best friend. I honestly don’t remember in great detail what we did each day — I just know we had a great time doing it together.

Her mother, my aunt, is famous to this day for her hands waving us out of the house as she exclaimed “You’re laying around like SLUGS! Get outside slugs!”

I never saw a bottle of water. If we needed hydration, everyone had a garden hose. We drank out of that. We also used it for filling water pistols, water fights, and, if we were feeling more orderly, running through the sprinkler.

Outside. Accordingly, I grew up to be a mom who sent her own children outside all the time. We didn’t move to acres in the country so they could sit inside the house all summer.

Granted, they were sent outside to a swimming pool, trampoline and a swingset nicer than we had on our actual school playground. Still, I like to think it made them resilient.

Boywonder grew up to be an Eagle Scout and survivalist who enjoys sleeping outdoors (I swear we let him in at bedtime!). Girlwonder is a high achiever who has impressed crowds with her fishing prowess. That girl can cast.

I always want my children — and every child — to be happy, healthy and SAFE. Nonetheless, we cannot bubble wrap them entirely. Some of the greatest joys of childhood are borne of bumps, bruises and the sheer thrill of unplanned hours spent in exploration.

A little dirt — and a few sips from the garden hose — can’t hurt.

The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Investigators looking into the collapse of a Pittsburgh bridge want transportation officials nationwide to examine more than 10,000 other bridges with similar construction to ensure they don’t have the same kind of corrosion that was found on the bridge that collapsed.

The National Transportation Safety Board said in a report that drainage problems on the weathered steel bridge that failed allowed the metal legs to deteriorate over time. It determined Pennsylvania neglected for years to perform the maintenance needed to clear the debris, dirt and leaves that were causing the problem, even though inspectors noted the issue.

Rust that caused the deterioration of the Pittsburgh bridge’s steel legs and allowed holes to form in the structure was noted on every inspection done since 2005, including one completed just four months before the Fern Hollow Bridge collapsed on Jan. 28, 2022. Work was done in 2009 to clear the debris clogging the bridge’s drainage system, but that wasn’t repeated in the years since even after inspectors said in every report between 2011 and 2021 that the drains had become clogged again.

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokeswoman Alexis Campbell said the agency is still reviewing everything the NTSB released, and the state will continue cooperating with the investigation. Last fall, the state Transportation Department issued a safety bulletin focused on the maintenance issues with these steel bridges in response to the NTSB’s preliminary findings.

“Safe, reliable infrastructure is a top priority of the (Gov. Josh) Shapiro administration, and we are committed to ensuring Pennsylvanians and all motorists can travel across the Commonwealth safely,” Campbell said. “To that end, PennDOT remains proactive in its review, analysis and maintenance of its bridges.”

The Pittsburgh bridge span that fell last year dropped a bus and four cars some 100 feet into a ravine, injuring several people hours before President Joe Biden visited the city to promote a massive infrastructure law. The span carried Forbes Avenue over Frick Park, Fern Hollow Creek and Tranquil Trail.

A new bridge opened to traffic in December after its design and construction were fast-tracked.

The NTSB said that these kind of steel-frame bridges can last for decades if they are properly maintained. But in the Pittsburgh case, the drainage issues kept the steel from developing a protective patina that would have kept the corrosion at bay. Investigators looked at 10 similar bridges in Pennsylvania and found similar maintenance problems, although none were as severe as the Fern Hollow Bridge.

It’s not clear how widespread these issues are nationwide. But the NTSB wanted to urgently call them to bridge owners’ attention even though it hasn’t completed its investigation of the Pittsburgh bridge collapse. The NTSB said in its report that it’s critical for bridge owners, usually cities and states, to clear “accumulation of water and debris on bridges with weathering steel components.”

The agency wants the Federal Highway Administration to help bridge owners identify similar problems and complete the needed bridge safety work. The Federal Highway Administration said it will review the NTSB recommendations and work with bridge owners to review inspection reports and determine what needs to be done. (©2023 Associated Press.

NTSB calls for investigation of 10,000 bridges

Fenton Art Glass Co. lamp example of advertising

KOVELS®

Antiques & Collecting

By Terry and Kim Kovel

Advertising and store collectibles have historical significance and brand recognition as well as artistic value. A combination of all three brought this lamp a price of $2,700 at Morford’s Antique Advertising Auctions.

The lamp was made by Fenton, a well-known art glass company. Its bellshaped blue shade for Bell Telephone Co. is eye-catching. The inscription “Local and Long Distance Telephone” marks it as a relic of the past.

There is little need for public telephones today when most people carry a phone with them and can get service wherever they go. But even before the age of cellphones, people liked having access to a telephone anywhere they went. This lamp probably hung in a hotel lobby to let visitors know there was a telephone available.

Q. Plastic and metal lunchboxes from the 1960s and 1970s really interest me. I have a Holly Hobbie lunchbox with thermos that I carried in grade school. Are lunchboxes hot collectibles?

A. Collectible lunchboxes bring back childhood memories of favorite television shows, movies, cartoons, sports teams and musical groups.

Holly Hobbie (1944) is an American writer and illustrator whose artwork sometimes appears on lunchboxes.

She is the author of the popular “Toot and Puddle” children’s books and creator of the character bearing her name. In the early 1970s, Hobbie sold artwork of a cat-loving, rag-dress-wearing little girl in a giant bonnet to American Greetings. This series of illustrations became immensely popular, and her originally nameless character became known as “Holly Hobbie.” Your lunchbox, if authentic, is worth about $40.

Series looks at Woodland Indians

This bell-shaped blue lamp was made by Fenton Art Glass Company for Bell Telephone. It was probably used in a hotel lobby. (Kovels.com photo)

and other advertising from telephone numbers. Numbers were first used in 1878. The seven-digit number was in use by the 1940s; fewer than seven digits date the card from 1878 to the 1940s. From the 1920s to the 1950s, most urban areas had a two-letter “exchange” followed by numbers.

Now Here’s A Tip

By Jo Anne Derson

• “To make a waterproof mattress protector in a pinch, slit a large garbage bag down the side and bottom, lay it flat over the mattress and cover with a beach towel. Then put the sheet over that. The garbage bag protects the mattress; the towel makes it comfortable. “

— U.D. in Tennessee

• “Keep extra liner bags in the bottom of the garbage can. They are handy, so you will be more likely to reline the can as soon as you take the garbage out.”

— K.P. in Massachusetts

Fit the workbench size to person’s height

By James Dulley

Q. I am having trouble finding a sturdy workbench that is not too tall for my short height. Do you have any ideas for how I can build my own smallersized one?

— Darlene T.

A. Most workbenches you find at big-box stores are sized for a six-foot man’s convenience. You can place some type of low platform in front of it, but that can create a stumbling risk. Most of the small child-sized workbenches are probably not strong enough to be useful.

It is not safe to work on an awkwardly tall workbench. There will be a greater likelihood of your whacking your finger with a hammer or cutting it with a saw — Ouch! Also, the more substantially built your workbench is, the easier and more precise your projects will be.

Even if the overly large size were not a problem, it is still a good idea to make your own workbench. It will definitely not be flimsy, like some of the kits that you saw, and you can design it with the specific features that you want.

Plan on spending over $100 to build a good workbench. This may sound like a lot, but it will last a lifetime. The money you save with many do-it-yourself home repair and improvement projects will pay back the material costs many times over.

I recommend building a workbench with a good-quality hardwood top and finished edge over a plywood base. Standard 3/4-inch, tongue-andgroove oak hardwood flooring works great. This not only looks good (unfortunately, it won’t stay that way for long), but it holds up well to hammering, vibrations from sawing and torque from bending pipe.

No matter how experienced you are, you will still occasionally miss a nail head and pound the top with a hammer. Hardwood will dent slightly, but not at all like standard plywood or, even worse, just pine lumber. Finish the top with several coats of urethane. This looks great and resists oils and other common chemicals.

Many workbenches are typically 35 inches high, about 28 inches deep and four to five feet long. With your smaller stature, size yours to be about

31 inches high, 26 inches deep and five to six feet long if you have the space in your garage. A longer workbench is more stable when you have a long heavy item in the vise on one end.

My favorite workbench design uses two horizontal frames (made from 2-by-6-inch wood studs) attached to strong vertical legs. The lower frame supports the lower shelf, and the upper frame supports the top work area. For a professional look, notch the corners of the lower shelf plywood for the vertical legs, so that it is flush with the edges of the frame.

If you want to build it right, use 4-by-4-inch wood studs for the legs, not just 2-by-4-inch ones. Use treated lumber for the legs if your garage floor is damp or you spray it out regularly

with a hose and cleaners. Cut the legs square on both ends and 1.5 inches shorter than the finished top height (the top is 1.5 inches thick).

Size the horizontal frames to allow for a 10-inch top overhang on each end and a 3-inch overhang in the front. Ten inches is adequate to mount your vice and other devices.

The vertical legs are mounted inside the frame corners with 3-inchlong screws, or better yet, onequarter-inch lag bolts. Screw the top plywood base to the upper frame. Nail the hardwood flooring to the plywood.

Hello from Hazard!

We hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day!

Dale Cerar, of Robinson Township, Pennsylvania, and Diane Lee, of Ravenna, Ohio, agree with other readers that Item No. 1247 is a paddle used to stir mixtures in a large kettle cooking over a fire.

Brian Allman submitted Item No. 1247.

In response to Item No. 1248, Mark Sheldon Carroll, of Kent, Ohio, wrote the item’s two identifiers, BREAD LOAF and the No. 43, cause him to wonder if the old key and brass fob-star might be from Historic Zoar Village in Tuscarawas County.

“For those unfamiliar with Zoar Village, it was founded in 1819 by a group of Pietistic Christian Spiritualists (similar to Quakers and Shakers) who fled Germany to find religious freedom in the United States. The new community in the young state of Ohio established numerous means of self-sufficient production, including their own bakery. I understand that the bakery delivered fresh goods to the village dormitories and homes which were identified by twodigit numbers.

The Zoarites’ religious commu-

nity was legally dissolved in 1898, but many of the historic homes and structures still remain today and about 200 people live in the village. The village and its garden are truly very valuable surviving portions of Ohio’s history.

“Ms. Tammi Shrum, Zoar’s official historian, is the most likely person to know if this old key and brass fob-star might be from the Zoarite religious community. If she or someone else can confirm this, I would strongly encourage the item’s owner to donate the key and star to the Zoar Community Association for display in the Zoar Village Museum or the Zoar Village Bakery,” Mark wrote.

Thank you for the history, Mark. We will attempt to contact Tammi.

Dan Kerniskey, of Eastlake, Ohio, submitted the item.

Cookies as a canvas

Pittsburgh Asian American is a cookie artist

By Terry Tang Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Artist Jasmine Cho makes exquisite portraits that champion famous and forgotten Asian Americans. Her canvas?

“Cookies, I’ve always said, are the perfect platform for education, activism and healing because they are one of the most disarming, inviting and surprising mediums,” said Cho, who is also a baker.

She believes her art comes in part from a sense of not belonging that she felt growing up. May was Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, but Cho’s cookies bring attention to AAPIs every month. The Korean American self-described “cookie activist” has gained fans over the past several years for her finely detailed cookie faces. Actors Awkwafina, Daniel Dae Kim and Tamlyn Tomita are among those who’ve gushed about receiving the cookie treatment. Pittsburgh, where she has lived since 2009, even issued a “Jasmine Cho Day” proclamation in 2020.

In 2016, Cho was contentedly making cute character cookies for her online bakery, Yummyholic, when she turned flour, sugar, butter and other ingredients into cookie likenesses of a friend for a birthday party. The cookies quickly grabbed social media attention. Others wanted them done, too.

“I suddenly have this platform or this medium that everyone is paying attention to,” Cho said. “It felt like a sort of superpower.”

She had an “aha moment” of how to use her great power with greater responsibility.

The 39-year-old, who grew up in Southern California and New Mexico, always took notice when Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders weren’t present in a movie, TV show or history book. It contributed to her questioning her own sense of belonging in America.

“That was always a pain point for me growing up,” said Cho, who recently completed a master’s degree in art therapy. “So, I kind of always had this question: ‘I wonder if I could use this point of joy for me to address this pain point?’ And cookies was the answer.”

A few months after making those first cookie faces, Cho held her first portrait gallery show. She made cookies of Asian American Pittsburgh natives like actor Ming-Na Wen and Leah Lizarondo, the founder of 412 Food Rescue, which distributes unsold fresh food to people in need in the Pittsburgh area.

Lizarondo remembers how surprised she was to find Cho had cookie-fied her. For the Filipino American, the tribute was definitely not a waste of food.

“I shared it as widely as I could as I was so proud to be among the people she did cookie portraits of,” Lizarondo said by email.

While cookies and cake tributes might come off as silly, Lizarondo saw something different in Cho’s art.

“It is such an accessible way to catalyze conversation,” said Lizarondo.

A one-woman crew, Cho needs between four and six hours for one portrait. She draws the cookie face by hand, fills it in with icing and then lets it dry.

Her “art-ivism” has taken her interesting places. In 2019, she wrote and illustrated a children’s book, “Role Models Who Look Like Me.” In the last few years, she has made over 20 virtual and in-person appearances

at universities, elementary schools and conferences. If she isn’t giving a speech, she’s leading a cookie-decorating workshop.

The biggest thrill is when young Asian Americans, particularly females, feel inspired.

“They tell me things like, ‘I learned more in your 15-minute talk than I have in my whole class that’s about Asian American history,’ or something like that,” Cho said.

At a time when demanding to see Asian American history included in school curricula can get you branded as “woke,” even Cho’s seemingly innocuous cookies can be a target. Ahead of a university visit last February, someone Cho thought was a student journalist asked to talk to her. Cho later learned that person wasn’t a student but part of a far-right group. The school decided to increase security for the event — something that stunned her.

“It’s just cookies,” Cho said. “But, not to diminish the intent of what I’m actually using the cookies to do. Unfortunately, even something like cookies could be seen as a threat because of what they symbolize.”

They’re definitely not just cookies. They can evoke poignant moments.

Cho made a cookie portrait of Betty Ong, an American Airlines flight attendant who died on 9/11. Ong was credited as the first person to raise the alarm about the terrorists’ hijacking, passing along crucial information from a phone on the illfated plane. One of her nieces spotted Cho’s creation on Instagram and contacted her.

“For a family member to reach out and just thank me for sharing her story in the way that I did ... reminding me of the tenderness that comes with this work, the importance of it,” Cho said. “I don’t ever want to upset a family member in any way. I’ve been very grateful that those who I have heard from understand my intention.”

Cho estimates she has between 50 and 70 of the cookie portraits now boxed up in storage. Some she dreams of giving to the subject ( Michelle Yeoh, if you’re reading this.). Others she would love to display, as well as publish a picture book of them.

Even with praise from families, celebrities and Instagram, Cho still has moments when she can be dismissive of her own work. “I’ll be like, ‘I’m just making cookies. What am I really doing?’”

But then she feels re-energized when encountering audiences who have never heard of figures like civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs or diver Sammy Lee, the first Asian American man to earn Olympic gold.

“Part of what keeps me going is one day, I do hope that my work maybe becomes irrelevant because everyone has access to this history and awareness of it.”

Teachers are leaving jobs at an accelerating rate in Pennsylvania

By Marc Levy and Brooke Schultz Associated Press writers

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Teachers are leaving their jobs at an accelerating rate in Pennsylvania, amid fears of a nationwide exodus of burnedout teachers and a collapse in enrollment in recruitment programs that is making teachers increasingly difficult to replace.

A new analysis by Penn State’s

Center for Education Evaluation and Policy Analysis shows that the rate of teacher attrition in Pennsylvania grew faster in the 2022-23 school year and hit its highest point in a decade of tracking. That reflects a pattern that is starting to emerge in other states and as schools across the country struggle to find teachers.

Ed Fuller, the Penn State education professor who conducted the analysis, said he has seen data from

12 states with similar increases in this school year.

Over the past two years, schools saw relatively modest changes in attrition even as teachers reported more dissatisfaction with the job amid the travails of the COVID-19 pandemic, growing workloads, shrinking autonomy and increasingly hostile school environments. But now, labor markets are tight and it’s much easier for teachers to find jobs near where they live, Fuller said.

Fuller’s analysis shows that Pennsylvania saw a 1.5 percentage point increase in teacher attrition this year, the largest increase in the past decade.

All told, the attrition rate was 7.7% in 2022-23, up from 6.2% in 2021-22 and 5.4% in 2020-21. That comes out to nearly 9,600 leaving their jobs in 2022-23, nearly doubling the number of newly certified teachers in Pennsylvania in 2022. The previous high was 7.5% in 2014. The figures include terminations, resignations and retirements. The study did not track whether a teacher left for a teaching job in another state or took a non-teaching job in the education profession, for instance as an administrator.

Amid lackluster enrollments in colleges and programs that train teachers, the drop-off in teacher certifications is particularly steep in Pennsylvania, tumbling from 15,000 in 2011 to under 6,000 in 2021.

Fuller’s analysis found a number of long-term trends that he said are similar across states: teachers showing the highest rate of leaving the profession are Black and Hispanic. In those cases, male teachers left at a higher rate than their female counterparts.

Attrition rates were also higher at charter and cyber-charter schools and poorer public schools. Those schools tend to suffer higher turnover, pay less and hire newer teachers, including many teachers of color.

In addition, middle school teachers left at a higher rate than teachers at other levels, Fuller found.

By county, Philadelphia had, by far, the highest attrition rate, at 16.4%. That is due primarily to high attrition rates of charter schools in the city, Fuller said.

In addition to the time and effort required to find a replacement, research has shown that teacher turnover has a negative effect on student outcomes, school climate and teacher quality, Fuller said.

Usually a less experienced teacher is hired as a replacement, Fuller said.

At the moment, state lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro are looking at ways to address the teacher shortage, including stipends for student teachers and tax credits for newly certified teachers.

In the Upper Darby School District, Superintendent Daniel McGarry wants to start a “grow your own” program to start paying 24 high school graduates or community members to work as apprentices in the schools while the district pays for their education to get certified.

Sherri Smith, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators, said attrition comes up in every conversation as she travels the state to talk with school officials.

“I don’t go into a meeting where we don’t talk about educator workforce and what we’re facing,” she said.

Tomas Hanna, an associate superintendent for the Philadelphia School District, said at a news conference this month that the district that once had 1,200 student teachers now is down to 362. Jerry Jordan,

Teachers are leaving jobs at an accelerating rate in Pennsylvania

(Continued from Page B28)

president of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, said teachers are leaving because they feel overwhelmed and not supported. Paying teachers more and boosting school funding is vital, he said.

When schools can’t find fully

certified teachers, they hire teachers who aren’t fully credentialed.

Those teachers have limited skills, and it’s tougher for them, resulting in constant turnover, Jordan said.

“It becomes a real cycle of putting in teacher after teacher with an emergency certification,” Jordan said.

“The teachers become frustrated and they leave because they’re not getting support they need and they’re not making a lot of money, so they move on. You have a revolving door.”

Premier Bank donates items to the MVHS

YOUNGSTOWN — Premier Bank has donated a collection of 1960s copper-and-wood printing blocks and a 1963 Department of Defensive Sanitation Kit to the Mahoning Valley Historical Society.

The copper-and-wood printing blocks are estimated to be from the 1960s. They were used to print illustrations in newspaper publications until the 1970s because they were both compatible with the industry standard at the time, letterpress printing and allowed for the reproduction of grayscale values in images. The donated blocks include early Home Savings & Loan Co. executives and managers, plus a view of the tower at 275 W. Federal St. and a partial street map of downtown Youngstown.

Very nice 3-bedroom, 1 full bath ranch log cabin with 1900 square feet of living space on one level. There are 3 bedrooms of good size, a large living room with fireplace, large bathroom, and an additional family room. There is a dining room and kitchen combined that opens up to the large living room. This home also includes 5 acres of property, attached garage, screened in porch and 2 utility sheds. The majority of the home has carpet flooring, but the owners say there are beautiful hard wood floors under the carpet. Very large basement that appears to be dry, walk out, and there is an additional bathroom. This home will be a live auctioned with a reserve amount. The auction will take place on June 17th at 1:00 P.M. There will be a 10% nonrefundable buyer’s premium with the sale of the home. The home will also be available Sunday June 4th and Sunday June 11th from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. for viewings and we will be accepting offers prior to the auction, and the sellers could accept one of them prior to the auction. Home is being sold in as in condition, seller to make no repairs.

Zoar Village collaborates with students

ZOAR, Ohio — Historic Zoar Village recently partnered with Kent State’s Spring 2023 Business Consulting Practicum undergrad students and WJER’s morning show co-host Ryan Pastircak to create audio tours now available on Spotify, a free digital music, podcast and video streaming service.

The students conducted research, wrote the audio scripts and worked with Pastircak, a local Tuscarawas County broadcaster, to record the tours and publish them on Spotify.

Listeners can learn fun and obscure facts about the village’s history and buildings. For instance, Zoar’s Town Hall has served as a barbershop, post office and fire department. And when the Separatists arrived in Tuscarawas County, an acre of land cost about $3.

The audio tours were created to give guests an alternative to guided tours by costumed interpreters and self-guided tours without audio. It is recommended that visitors listen to individual episodes as they tour specific locations within the village. Episodes include an introduction to Zoar and details about the School House, Zoar Garden, Tim Shop and Bakery.

Visitors can purchase the audio tour at the Zoar Store for $10 per person, including over a dozen stops. Visitors are asked to have the Spotify app pre-downloaded on a smart device before their visit. Visit historiczoarvillage.com or call 330-874-3011 for more information.

Know any airplane mechanics?

A wave of retirements is leaving some US industries desperate to hire

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kwasi

Bandoh, a senior recruiter for an airline, stood before a group of aviation mechanic students at their graduation ceremony last month and congratulated them for all having jobs.

As some of the students began nudging each other, Bandoh realized that perhaps not every one of them had already been hired.

“Who doesn’t have a job?” Bandoh demanded, surveying the 15 graduates before him at the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics’ training facility in Hagerstown, Maryland. “Who doesn’t? Because I have a job for you.”

The crowd of about 70 friends and relatives, gathered in a hangar where the students had been trained, laughed appreciatively. Fourteen of the 15 graduates did have jobs, and the only one who didn’t had an interview lined up for the next day.

As happy as the moment was for the graduates, it epitomized the struggles of recruiters like Bandoh, who are desperately seeking mechanics for the airlines, plane manufacturers and repair shops that need them. Most of their existing mechanics are aging, and demand for travel is growing.

Across the U.S. economy, other industries, too, face the same formidable challenge: Replenishing a workforce diminished by a surge of retirements that began during the pandemic and has continued since. It’s a growing problem in such fields as construction, manufacturing, nursing and some professional industries like accounting.

Since 2019, the proportion of retirees in the U.S. population has risen from 18% to nearly 20%, according to research by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — equivalent to about 3.5 million fewer workers. And the trend seems sure to accelerate: The percentage of workers who are 55

or older is nearly 24%, up from only about 15% two decades ago.

The surge of retirements, along with a slowdown in immigration that began during the pandemic, are the primary factors behind the labor shortages that continue to bedevil some employers

The aging workforce also helps explain the confounding nature of the economy right now. Even as the Federal Reserve has relentlessly pumped up interest rates to fight high inflation, hiring has remained surprisingly robust. Regardless of where interest rates are, many employers simply need to replace people who have left.

Job growth has been stronger than economic growth would suggest. The economy expanded at a mediocre 1.3% annual rate in the first three months of 2023. Yet hiring was robust, averaging nearly 300,000 jobs a month. In April, the unemployment rate reached a halfcentury low of 3.4%. On Friday, the government will issue the May employment report, which economists predict will show another solid gain of about 190,000 jobs.

Companies that must fill jobs tend to raise pay to attract and keep workers — a trend that can fuel inflation as those same employers typically raise their prices to cover their higher labor costs. That dynamic is complicating the Fed’s efforts to tame inflation.

Airlines. In the airline industry, more than one-third of mechanics are between 55 and 64, according to government data. Fewer than one in 10 are under 30.

“Everybody’s getting ready to retire, and not enough people are coming in to take the jobs,” said Mike Myers, a maintenance manager for Piedmont Airlines, in Hagerstown, a regional feeder for American Airlines.

The new graduates of the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics have been awed

by how much they’re in demand. One of them, Will Gower, said he weighed multiple job offers at nearly twice the $15-an-hour wage he had earned at the retail job he held while in school.

“It was almost overwhelming how many companies were throwing jobs at you,” said Gower, 21. “Anywhere there’s an airport you can go work.”

Next month, Gower will join Commute Air, Bandoh’s company, along with three of his classmates, and will receive further training in Houston.

In the past year, the air travel industry has hired roughly 45,000 people, enlarging its workforce by 9%, to more than a half-million. That’s triple the pace of the U.S. economy’s overall hiring.

United Airlines has said it plans to hire 15,000 workers this year and more in coming years. It expects to add 2,300 pilots, in part to offset about 500 retirements. Kate Gebo, United’s executive vice president of human resources, said she foresees a shortage of airplane mechanics, with up to half of United’s mechanics already eligible to retire.

Construction. In the construction industry, the proportion of workers ages 55 and older doubled from 2003 to 2020, to nearly one-quarter, according to the government.

Anirban Basu, chief economist for the Associated Builders and Contractors trade group, said that in addition to aging, industries like aviation maintenance and construction share another challenge: Fewer young people want to take jobs in what are often perceived as less-secure, blue-collar work.

When the now-retiring baby boomers began working, Basu said, “there was the notion that being a blue-collar tradesperson was a solid and secure path to prosperity.” But as factories shut down across the country, “the notion increasingly became

that for one to become part of the American middle class, one would likely need to have more formal education, namely, a bachelor’s degree.”

The result, he said, is an economy short of factory workers, backhoe operators, welders, electricians and other skilled trade workers.

If there’s one trend that might ease, if not solve, the problem it’s that Americans below retirement age have been re-entering the job market, likely drawn by steady hiring and higher pay levels. The proportion of these adults who either have a job or are looking for one now exceeds pre-pandemic levels.

Accounting. Yet for now, an aging workforce remains a problem even for some white-collar jobs, particularly accounting. About three-quarters of accountants are “nearing 60” and approaching retirement, according to the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants.

Tom Hood, an executive vice president of the association, said the industry is finding it hard to attract young college graduates. Many of them prefer data science or finance, while accounting struggles with a stuffier, more old-fashioned image.

“We’re getting squeezed from the older part and the younger part as well,” Hood said.

Nela Richardson, chief economist at the payroll provider ADP, said research shows that countries that have many retirees who spend money and consume and have fewer people working typically face higher inflation. In those countries, demand for goods and services tends to exceed the supply.

“This is the missing piece in terms of our dialogue about how the Fed can drive inflation back down to its 2% target?” Richardson said.

Some economists have said they worry that the job market’s resil-

ience, and the resulting fear that inflation will remain high, will lead the Fed to send its benchmark rate even higher, which could derail the economy and cause a recession.

Gower, who is from Covington, Louisiana, isn’t exactly worried about a recession. His new job as a line mechanic at Commute Air will pay $30 an hour to start, plus higher wages for night shifts. “We’ve all got great futures ahead of us,” he said.

Brian Prentice, a partner at the Oliver Wyman consulting firm, estimates that the aviation industry will endure a shortage of up to 18,000 mechanics this year — about 12% of current staffing levels. It will likely boost pay levels across the industry.

Mindy Pavlonis, associate director of career services for the aeronautics institute, noted that entry-level pay has jumped from about $18 an hour in 2018 to the upper-$20s an hour now. More financial aid for young people to receive training can help address the worker shortfall, Prentice said, a benefit that some airlines are starting to provide. Myers, the manager at Piedmont, said his company now offers scholarships that pay full tuition to schools like the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. In return, the student must work at Piedmont for two years. They will even set up new students with a $6,500 tool box, he added.

Erik Hansen, a lobbyist for the U.S. Travel Association, says his group is pushing for more funding for a federal development program that would subsidize aviation maintenance training schools and support more outreach to high schools to promote the industry as a career.

Without more workers, he said, further flight delays will inevitably result. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

Search for healing waters leads to Pa.

however, I do think healing water is possible.

Even in my local area, Native American tribes had a deep reverence for specific springs of salt water. While it’s hard to draw a line between fact and fiction, there is some validity to the claims when the mineral content of the water is examined.

islands in the Bahamas called the Bimini Islands.

Like a prize at the end of a footrace, many people chase after lasting youthfulness. Even Ponce de Leon is rumored to have had his eyes set on finding the fountain of youth when he landed on the shores of what is now Florida.

A common theme of myths and legends, eternal youth has eluded men since the beginning of time.

I find it hard to imagine the reality of an actual fountain of youth,

I first became interested in the topic after soaking in hot springs in Wyoming. The hot springs in Thermopolis, Wyoming, were recorded as early as 1895 as having healing properties. The claims went as far as saying the water could cure bullet wounds and even paralysis.

As time went on, the mineral content was analyzed. The water contains over 27 minerals including calcium, sodium, magnesium, zinc and copper.

Healing waters. It is thought that Ponce de Leon might have been motivated by stories about an island with healing water. About 50 miles east of Miami is a chain of

Within a shoreline mangrove swamp only accessible by boat, a spot made famous by local legends is located. Now known as the Healing Hole, for centuries the water has been exalted for its healing properties. Like other bodies of water with high salt concentrations, the water rejuvenates skin and muscles. The water contains sulfur, lithium and alpha radiation.

The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is located in St. Augustine, Florida. Although there is no evidence to validate the claims, it is a tribute to the place where Ponce de Leon supposedly landed.

From as far back as 1860, the land was used as a tourist attraction. There were many fabricated stories to entice visitors. After decades of study, the land where the Park is located was identified as the oldest

BRYCE ANGELL

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Lop eared Jasper

I dared a look outside. The ground still held some drifts of snow. The stove inside my canvas tent was burning a bright red glow.

I opened up the tent flap, filled my lungs and gave a yell. I swear old Jasper looked at me and said, “It’s cold as @#%&!”

Jasper and my saddle horse were munching on the hay. Last night I threw enough feed out to last them most the day.

I closed the flap and tossed a chunk of Doug Fir in the fire. Then I tied the stove door almost shut with pliers and baling wire.

Now, Jasper was an old pack mule. He’d packed my gear for years. But I should have named him Ugly. Let me tell you ‘bout his ears.

When Jasper was about one year, a stud kicked him in the head. He lay there in the corral and I was hoping he weren’t dead.

At first his breaths were shallow. Then he stood up on his feet. He took a step and sure enough his walk was plumb offbeat.

He looked a might confused. His eyes were covered with a glaze. If I hadn’t seen him take the kick I’d swear he had been tased.

Well Jasper shook his head and then he gained his wits all back. But I couldn’t help but notice that one ear was lying flat.

One ear straight up and one ear down, I’d never seen before. Was Jasper giving signs that he now talked in semaphore?

I tried a bunch of different ways to keep the ear up straight. I even tied a hat on, but it seemed to agitate.

So all this time, old Jasper’s ears have never been the same.

It’s been a conversation piece. Some folks think it’s a shame.

One little girl said Jasper needs an earring in his ear. She even said, “He’s beautiful.” Only a child could be so dear.

I’d say most mules are ugly, but old Jasper takes the cake. A friend of mine says, “Jasper looks like nature’s worst mistake!”

I’ve always made a point to give that mule some extra care. I guess I feel responsible he’s had this cross to bear.

But Jasper doesn’t seem to mind that no one wants to gush. When someone calls him ugly, I have never seen him blush.

Ashland SWCD offers nature journaling program

ASHLAND, Ohio — The Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District has partnered with Darwin’s Dream and renowned area naturalist Carrie Elvey to conduct a family-focused nature journaling program this summer for local youth to participate in with their families.

This will be the second year Ashland SWCD has partnered with Elvey to host a nature journaling course in Ashland County. But while last year’s program was focused on adults and exploring the seasonality of the woods, this year’s program is designed to provide youth and their families with plenty of opportunities to work together and explore nature through woodland discoveries and handson art projects.

Research indicated today’s children are spending less time outdoors than ever — an average of just 4-7 minutes per day playing outside compared to over seven hours per day in front of a screen. That lack of outdoor play results in children missing out on foundational experiences that can provide both physical and mental enrichment.

Willis. Houin says Walter Willis envisioned just those kinds of experiences when he donated 40-acres of woodlands near Mifflin to Ashland ASWC in memory of his wife.

In fact, he specified that the land must be used as an outdoor educational laboratory for all ages.

Natural areas and green spaces like the Hazel Willis Woods are valuable community resources, because they protect and preserve soil, sequester carbon from the atmosphere and literally clean our air.

Plus, they offer unlimited opportunities for you to explore, imagine, create and gain confidence.

The Hazel Willis Woods provides plenty of opportunities for just that sort of exploration. The property contains a Loop Road that circles the perimeter of the 40 acres as well as a primitive cabin, garage, outhouses and a pavilion. Children can also try their hand at using a hand-pump water well or scout for wildlife at the woods’ spring tank.

Children who spend time playing outdoors are happier, better at paying attention and focusing, and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors. And as an added bonus, outdoor play encourages movement, too.

No matter what kind of outdoor activity they are involved in, it almost always involves more exercise than sitting on a couch. That kind of exercise is not only good for kids’ bodies and physical health, but it helps those who struggle with paying attention and focusing as well.

As the school year wraps up, now is the perfect time to make plans to turn your family’s summer into one of exploration and wonder by spending time as a family nature journaling at the Hazel Willis Woods.

Register. The course will take place over seven weeks on Thursday evenings from 6 to 7:30 p.m. from June 15 through July 27. Registration is $150 per family and is available at eventbrite.com/e/2023-nature-journaling-tickets. Registration is limited to 20 families.

Pittsburgh waters. When I saw a picture of a “Fountain of Youth” in Pittsburgh, I had to investigate. The picture showed an engraved circular stone in the center, resting on a stacked stone entrance to a dark room. Extending from both sides of the entrance, stoic stone walls were built into the hillside.

The workmanship was impressive, and I was intrigued. I knew I had to see it when I realized it was located in North Park, an Allegheny County Park near Wexford, Pennsylvania.

On a recent trip to Pittsburgh, my daughter and I decided to find the Fountain of Youth. Once we were in the park, I thought it would be adventurous to find it just by driving along Kummer Road, without using GPS.

I wanted to be surprised and find it, like a treasure hunt. She wanted to use the maps app and not get lost or miss it. As it turned out, I was heading in the right direction.

She entered “Fountain of Youth” and sure enough, the location popped up on her map. It took us to a narrow section to pull off on the side of the road. The stones for the fountain could be clearly seen from the road, but the path to get there was a little bit of an adventure.

There was a steep embankment to climb down to a small stream. Then, we walked up a sloping path

towards the stones. Unfortunately, there was some graffiti on the beautiful mason work.

We paused in front of the entrance. Should we enter? I was worried about snakes. She was worried about everything. We had to go in and see what was inside. There wasn’t much inside other than more stones. We could see a central square where the pump was probably originally located.

The impressive stonework was done by the Works Fountain of Youth Progress Administration in the late 1930s. The year 1939 could be found on the masonry. It was a popular location for locals to get fresh spring water, but it is uncertain

why it was dubbed the Fountain of Youth and created to resemble a Roman grotto.

Eventually, in the 1950s, the tap was removed from the springhouse. The first problem was a mechanism failure and later it was determined the water contained a high level of bacteria.

Sadly, we missed our chance to chug healing water by mere 67 years. We did, however, enjoy the novelty of finding a Roman grotto in the woods of Pennsylvania.

ODNR reminds boaters to stay safe on the water

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is reminding Ohioans that, no matter your experience level, it is important to focus on safety anytime you’re on or near the water.

According to the National Safe Boating Council, 81% of boating fatalities in the U.S. are caused by drowning. In Ohio in 2022, there were 17 boating fatalities, 12 of which were caused by drowning. Life jackets were properly worn in only three of the fatal incidents in 2022.

Today’s life jackets are much more comfortable, lightweight and stylish than in the past. There are innovative options, such as inflatable life jackets, allowing mobility and flexibility for activities. They are also much cooler in the warmer weather.

When selecting a life jacket, boaters should ensure it is U.S. Coast Guard approved, appropriate for the water activity and fits properly.

Tips. The National Safe Boating Council and the ODNR recommend these tips for boaters:

• Wear your life jacket and make sure everyone else on your boat also wears a life jacket.

• Take a boating safety class. Gain valuable knowledge and experience in a boating safety course with many options for novice to experienced boaters.

• Carry all required safety gear. Inspect equipment for holes, tears, and other damage.

• File a float plan. Always let someone on shore know the trip itinerary, including information about all pas-

sengers, boat type and registration, and communication on board.

• Be aware of weather and water conditions. Always check the forecast before departing on the water.

• Boat sober and be considerate of others. Be aware of other boaters around you and designate a sober skipper.

• In case of an emergency, power boaters should use the engine cut-off device, which is a proven way to stop the boat’s engine should the operator unexpectedly fall overboard.

In addition to offering boating safety courses, ODNR’s Natural Resource Officers provide complimentary boat safety inspections and onthe-water patrols to assist boaters.

Earlier this spring, more than 60 officers fro m various Ohio law enforcement agencies including four new ODNR officers, have been certified in Ohio’s Basic Marine Patrol Training course which covers boating laws and rules, boat operation skills and how to conduct effective vessel stops as well as assist boaters in distress or arrest boaters operating watercraft under the influence.

Results of sandhill crane count released

COLUMBUS — Observers reported 357 sandhill cranes in Ohio during the volunteer-driven 2023 Midwest Crane Count, April 15, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife. The count was coordinated by the Division of Wildlife, International Crane Foundation, and Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative.

The survey was conducted in 30 pre-selected counties during the crane’s nesting season to monitor Ohio’s growing breeding population of sandhill cranes. Cranes were observed in 24 of those counties. Counties were selected based on the availability of wetland habitat that cranes use for nesting.

The six counties with the most crane sightings during this year’s count were Wayne (96), Lucas (77), Geauga (63), Ottawa (18), Logan (15), and Williams (15). Killbuck Marsh and Funk Bottoms wildlife areas in Wayne County are preferred nesting locations for sandhills. Volunteers searched crane habitat within a

10-square mile survey block. Results were reported via eBird.

This year’s count was the third annual event tracking the status of sandhill cranes in the Buckeye State. During the survey’s inaugural year in 2021, Ohio volunteers observed 160 sandhill cranes across five counties. An expanded count last year recorded 311 sandhills in 26 counties.

Sandhill cranes. A sandhill crane is a tall wading bird characterized by a long neck and bill. It is mostly gray in plumage with a red patch on its forehead. It is often recognized by its rolling bugle call. During the breeding season, sandhills can be secretive and take on a rusty color from muddy environments. Sandhills are migratory, breeding in wetlands across the northern U.S. and Canada and wintering farther south in North America.

These regal birds were once extirpated from Ohio. They returned to Wayne County in 1987 to breed and have been slowly expanding since. They are still listed as a threatened species in Ohio.

is National Red Rose Day!

Stamp support. Wildlife enthusiasts can support sandhill cranes by purchasing an Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp. Fourteen dollars of every $15 Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp sold are invested in the state’s Wildlife Diversity Fund. This fund supports habitat restoration, wildlife and habitat research projects, creation of free wildlife educational materials, as well as efforts to restore and conserve endangered and threatened species.

The legacy stamp can be purchased online through Ohio’s Wildlife Licensing System and at any location that sells hunting and fishing licenses. Learn more about sandhill cranes and the Division of Wildlife’s research at wildohio.gov.

A list of sandhill cranes found in each of the 30 counties surveyed during Ohio’s 2023 count is shown below. The first number following the county’s name shows the number of cranes reported in 2023, and the county’s result from 2022 is shown in parentheses. Counties

Turkey hunters check 15,673 birds in Ohio

COLUMBUS — Wild turkey hunters in Ohio checked 15,673 birds during the spring season which concluded May 28, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

The total statewide harvest represents all turkeys checked from April 22 to May 28, and includes the 1,823 turkeys taken during the twoday youth season April 15-16.

During the 2022 season, the total number of turkeys checked was 11,872. The three-year average (2020, 2021, and 2022) for the spring turkey season is 14,772.

Turkey hunters were required to record their harvest using Ohio’s game check system. The top 10 counties for wild turkey harvest in the 2023 season were Ashtabula (454), Gallia (428), Muskingum (420), Monroe (410), Tuscarawas (408), Belmont (398), Coshocton (382), Adams (378), Jefferson (374) and Washington (369).

Adult male turkeys made up 84% of the final count with 13,153 birds taken. Following an above-average brood production summer in 2021, biologists expected a high proportion of 2-year-old birds in the total harvest this spring. Hunters checked

UMBRELLA UNDERTOW

2,354 juvenile male turkeys in 2023, representing 15% of birds taken.

Turkey hunters also checked 166 bearded female turkeys (hens) during the 2023 season. The Division of Wildlife issued 50,174 spring turkey permits for use during the spring hunting season.

Ohio’s spring turkey season is split into two zones to align with the timing of turkey nesting in those regions. The northeast zone includes Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties. In 2023, 1,105 turkeys were checked in the northeast zone, while 14,568 birds were taken in the rest of the state.

Wild turkey harvests were higher in 2023 than last year, likely a result of two years of above-average summer brood production. Statewide, turkey populations are lower than they were in the early 2000s.

The division of wildlife began an indepth study of wild turkey nesting and movement in 2023 to better understand and manage the state’s changing turkey population. Several factors play a role in fluctuating turkey populations, including weather events, predation, disease and reproductive success.

Ohio wild turkeys checked through May 28

COLUMBUS — A list of all wild turkeys checked by hunters in each county through May 28 is shown.

Results from the state include 30 days of hunting in the south zone, 30 days in the northeast zone, and the two-day statewide youth season.

Goodbye, fish and chips?

New England haddock imperiled by overfishing

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A staple seafood species caught by East Coast fishers for centuries is experiencing overfishing, and regulators have cut catch quotas by more than 80% to prevent the fish’s population from collapse.

Haddock are one of the most popular Atlantic fish, and a favorite for fish and chips and other New England seafood dishes.

Fishing quotas cut. But fewer haddock will be caught in New England this year after regulators cut fishing quotas. A recent scientific assessment found that the Gulf of Maine haddock stock declined unexpectedly, and that meant the catch quotas for the fish were unsustainably high, federal fishing managers said.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration added the Gulf of Maine haddock stock to its overfishing list last month. The New England Fishery Management Council, a regulatory board, has lowered catch limits of the fish in an attempt to halt the overfishing, said agency spokesperson Allison Ferreira.

However, numerous fishers said the assessment doesn’t match what they’re seeing on the water, where haddock appear to them to be plentiful. And the warning from the federal government arrives as more New England fishers rely on haddock than in previous decades because of the collapse of other seafood species, such as Atlantic cod.

“We seem to find plenty, but they can’t,” said Terry Alexander, a Maine-based fisher who targets haddock and other species. “It’s a disaster is what it is. A total, complete disaster.”

The fishery management council mandated the 84% reduction in catch quotas for the current fishing year, which started May 1. The change applies to fishers who harvest haddock from the Gulf of Maine, a body of water off Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.

Fishers also harvest from Georges Bank, a fishing ground to the east where quotas were also reduced for this year, including adjoining areas overseen by Canadian officials who issued their own major cuts.

Americans are still likely to find haddock available despite the cuts because most of it is imported, according to federal data from 2021. Some countries that export haddock are also cutting quotas this year. But recent announcements of cuts by major exporters like Norway have been much lower than in the Gulf of Maine, and they represent a much larger share of global fish stocks.

Problematic. Declining fish stocks threaten economies, food security and cultures around the world. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says more than a third of global fish stocks are overfished, and

100 acres of woodlands join old-growth forest network

the rate of unsustainable fishing is rising. However, seafood species’ health varies significantly from region to region. Some, such as American lobster, have grown in catch volume in recent decades.

The U.S. catch of haddock has fluctuated over the past century. In the early 1950s, over 150 million pounds were caught each year. Overfishing caused catches to plummet below a million pounds per year in the mid-1990s, and rebuilding efforts followed. Over the past few years, catches have ranged from 12 million to 23 million pounds.

Haddock are caught by the same fishers who target other bottom-dwelling groundfish species such as cod, pollock and flounders. They are harvested at a much higher volume than any of those fish.

The fish are one of few profitable species on the East Coast said Ben Martens, executive director of the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association. He says losing the ability to catch them is a big hardship for the industry.

“I don’t think this stock is in trouble, and I think fishermen are in trouble because of that,” Martens said. “With this significant cut that is coming, that’s a major gut punch.”

Ohio Department of Natural Resources revitalizes part of small mining town

CHAUNCEY, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources opened the Baileys Trail System’s new trailhead location with a ceremony for the nearly $2.5 million project.

The trailhead location in the Village of Chauncey is part of communities that were once coal mining towns that thrived during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Due to the estimated increased economic and community development related to the trail system, the project was created to reclaim high-priority abandoned coal mine features near the trails and to build a trailhead and related infrastructure in Chauncey.

The scope of work included the installation of a fence around the abandoned mine-related buildings and construction of additional

paved parking, plumbed restroom, pavilion, stage, basketball court, playground equipment, bike trails, stream crossing, and other improvements with some of the existing grassy areas maintained. Other upgrades included sidewalk and street improvements, new sewer line from existing sanitary sewer to the park, and a paved bikeway.

This project is just part of a larger investment ODNR has made in the area. That includes facilitating another $2 million from the state capital budget to help the Outdoor Recreation Council of Appalachia build more of the trail.

The Village of Chauncey is one of many local coal mining towns that thrived in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The trailhead is located at the Chauncey Community Park, an area

that was once part of the Manhattan No. 25 underground mine site operated by the New York Coal Company that was abandoned in 1952.

The project was implemented by the ODNR Division of Mineral Resources Management Abandoned Mine Land Program with funding from the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization Program provided by the U. S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement.

The AMLER Program is an opportunity to return historic coal mining sites and areas impacted areas to productive reuse in cooperation with local communities, to achieve the economic and community development goals identified for the community and/or region.

Community involvement included the cooperation of the Village of Chauncey, Outdoor Recreation Council of Appalachia, Wayne National Forest, and private landowners.

COLUMBUS — Two woodlands made up of trees that date back hundreds of years will now forever be protected by the Old-Growth Forest Network. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources helped dedicate Kyle Woods State Nature Preserve (Mahoning County) and Pymatuning State Park (Ashtabula County) in separate ceremonies.

Director Mertz attended the afternoon ceremony at Pymatuning State Park which included recognizing the local park staff who were instrumental in nominating the park for induction.

Two sections of Pymatuning State Park are being recognized including the Big Woods area, which features a 30-acre tract of deeply wooded land including tulip poplars up to 130-ft. high. Species at Pymatuning include American basswood and American beech, red oak, shagbark hickory, sugar maple, and yellow birch.

An additional 15-acre section

is primarily an Eastern hemlock, northern hardwood forest and offers examples of mature American beech, black cherry, cucumber magnolia, Eastern hemlock, red maple, swamp white oak and yellow birch.

Earlier in the day, Kyle Woods State Nature Preserve became the 12th state nature preserve to be inducted into the Old-Growth Forest Network.

Kyle Woods is a heavily wooded 82-acre site featuring American basswood, cucumber magnolia, wild black cherry, black tupelo, beech, tuliptree, and several species of hickory and oak. Fifty-three acres is joining the network. The site is managed by ODNR’s Division of Natural Areas and Preserves.

The Old-Growth Forest Network aims to preserve at least one forest in every county in the U.S. that can sustain a forest. OGFN works to identify forests for the network, ensure their protection from logging, and inform people of the forest locations.

Pennsylvania’s shoreline on its way to becoming national marine sanctuary

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — President Joe Biden’s administration took the first step toward designating the Pennsylvania-owned section of Lake Erie as the state’s first national marine sanctuary. The announcement sets up a public comment period before the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration writes a draft plan for the sanctuary.

The designation would apply to an approximately 740-square-mile area of water off Pennsylvania’s 75 mile-long shoreline. It would attract federal funding to help find and preserve shipwrecks in the lake and boost education and outreach around the area’s history. That history includes being home to indigenous people who once lived there, its role as a hub on the Underground Railroad, and a maritime history as hosting the

nation’s largest fleet of steamboats before the Civil War. The area possibly includes scores of yet-to-bediscovered shipwrecks, according to NOAA.

There are 35 known shipwrecks in the area, from pre-Civil War steamboats to speedboats, tugs, barges and workboats lost before 1940, the agency said. There are two other national marine sanctuaries in the Great Lakes and a third in Lake Ontario nearing designation, all focused on shipwrecks.

There are 15 total national marine sanctuaries, some of which focus on preserving endangered aquatic life, as well as two marine national monuments. Erie County first requested the designation in 2015. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

BEWARE OF POTENTIAL BUYING SCAMS

Here

two situations where you need to be alarmed and vigilant

1. If the buyer of your equipment refuses to speak to you over the phone or in-person. Most buying scams happen via text messages and/or email.

2. If the buyer sends you a check in an amount HIGHER than the agreed upon price of your equipment, and then asks you (the seller) to refund the overpayment via wire transfer.

REMEMBER THE OLD ADAGE: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

If this or a similar scam has happened to you, please do not hesitate to contact Farm and Dairy at 800-837-3419 or contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General of your state.
