Have a little faith

Scientists predict mild harmful algal bloom for Lake Erie this year

By Sarah Donaldson sarah@farmanddairy.com

Lake Erie is expected to have a mild harmful algal bloom this year, according to researchers at Ohio Sea Grant’s 2023 virtual forecast for harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie, June 29. That’s likely due to a dry spring. Lake Erie’s harmful algal blooms are largely caused by nutrient runoff from farmland, specifically phosphorus. Less water, and therefore less nutrients, flowing into the lake will likely mean a milder bloom.

“It was the driest May since 1934, which was the dust bowl era,” said Laura Johnson, director of the National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University, during the forecast.

OKEANA, Ohio — Emily Mullen isn’t the type to wear jewelry, but she does wear one piece all the time. It’s a necklace with a mustard seed charm. She’s worn several over the years. Farm life is rough on jewelry.

Just like the mustard seed in the Bible that was said to grow into a tree so big that birds could perch in its branches, her once far-off dream to run her family’s dairy farm has grown, too.

Mullen, 24, took over operations of the family dairy farm from her father, Tim Mullen, and transformed it into a modern facility where they bottle their own milk and produce milk-based soaps and lotions. She recently moved her herd into a new free stall barn with a robotic milker

and will soon move her creamery into the brand new space.

The journey hasn’t been an easy one, but it’s what she has been called to do, Emily said. When times have been hard, she remembers the mustard seed.

“This was the hardest thing I’ve done in my life, but I did it all because I love these cows,” she said. “This is what God wanted me to do. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed.”

Passion. Emily ran the first batch of chocolate milk through the creamery on Nov. 27, 2020. It was the culmination of years of work and planning.

Emily is the third of four sisters who grew up on the family farm in Butler County, Ohio. She says that growing up she was discouraged from pursuing farming as a career. Her father ran the family’s dairy farm on the aging farm, milking about 100 Holsteins. Emily said her father didn’t want her to have to work as hard as he did to make a living. He agrees.

“You’ve heard her speak. She could make a living speaking and work a whole lot less,” Tim said.

But in high school, she was one of the few students in her school who lived on a farm. She

realized there was a huge gap in knowledge about food systems and agriculture between her and her peers. She began doing public speaking through her local FFA chapter, and her dream for the future of the family farm began to take shape.

“When you’re growing up on a farm, sometimes all you see is the hard work,” she said. “Instead of seeing myself as an outsider, I started seeing myself as an authority that needed to speak up.”

Starting new. Emily attended Ohio State University ATI and graduated in 2019 with an associate’s degree in dairy science. College was eye-opening for Emily. She knew she wanted to come home and open a creamery where they bottle milk on the farm.

“I could tell you a decent amount about cows, but I didn’t know the first thing about bottling milk,” she said.

While at school, she interned at Baker’s Golden Dairy, in New Waterford, Ohio, a Columbiana County dairy farm that bottles milk on-farm and makes other dairy products. By the time she got out of school and came

This is the fourth consecutive year the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted a milder than average bloom. In 2021 and 2022, however, the bloom wound up being more severe than originally forecasted, leading researchers to believe that July rainfall is more significant than previously thought.

Forecast. The forecast for 2023 is a 3 on the severity index, with a potential range of 2-4.5. The severity index is a scale of 1-10, and anything over a 5 on the index is considered a more severe bloom. The size of the bloom doesn’t necessarily indicate how toxic it is.

In 2022, NOAA predicted an algal bloom with a severity of 3.5. The bloom in 2022 had a final severity of 6.8, according to a November 2022 release from NOAA.

There was a similar difference between the 2021 forecast — a severity of 3 — and the final bloom severity of that year — a 6.0 on the index.

“The blooms are developing in July,” explained Rick Stumpf, (Continued on Page A10)

home, she had a plan. She didn’t start by bottling milk. That was too risky to jump into selling such a highly perishable product. She wanted to build their brand with something shelf-stable.

She called her mom to talk through her idea of making milk-based soaps to start her business. It turned out that her mother had just been at a women’s Bible study where they learned how to make goat’s milk soap. Emily took it as a sign that she was on the right track.

“There’s a lot of Jesus in this operation,” she said.

Through a farmer connection, she found a creamery for sale in a construction trailer. She rolled it home, and it took a year for her to get it inspected and ready to go.

Burned out. Emily burned the candle at both ends for a while to bottle milk and do the other daily farm tasks.

“I would get done milking, take a shower, work in the creamery all night, go out and milk the cows and then roll right into my next day,” she said.

It came to a head one day when she had a big order to fill but also needed to haul manure. She asked her younger sister, Elizabeth, to stay in the creamery and watch the milk temperature in the pasteurizer for 30 minutes. That was all she needed but “those 30 minutes were precious to me.”

It turned out that working in the controlled environment of the creamery, where she can work at her own pace, was a good fit for her sister, who is immunocompromised. Elizabeth runs the creamery three days a week.

Emily’s mother, Amy, and older sister, Mandy, help make soaps. Her other sister, Amber, helps out in the creamery one day a week.

New place. Eventually, the creamery business was built up enough that

it made sense to build that new dream facility. Emily had the cash flow to make it all work. Funding for that came through Farm Credit Mid-America’s Growing Forward program, which allows young and beginning farmers to get capital with relaxed underwriting standards. Emily worked closely with Amy Weaver, a senior financial officer with Farm Credit Mid-America, to get into the program.

The Growing Forward program also provides resources, mentorship and educational opportunities.

“If we’re just giving them money, we’re not doing enough,” said Dakota Everts, head of customer engagements and Growing Forward for Farm Credit Mid-America.

The cows settled into the new barn about a month ago. They downsized to about 60 cows in the milking herd to fit the robot. The new building will also house a new creamery, retail store and educational area.

Family. Emily’s roots in farming run deep. Her great-grandfather bought the farm in 1898. Her father grew up in the house where he would later raise his family. Tim said his first job on the farm was filling water troughs for the hogs when he was 5.

In addition to the hogs, the family raised laying hens and dairy cows. His mother had an egg route where she would deliver eggs to local houses each Friday.

When Tim was 14, his father died from cancer, leaving him to run the farm. He had to take care of his sisters and mothers, so he got out of raising hogs and chickens and focused his business on dairy cows.

“Farming is always what I wanted to do,” he said. “It’s in my blood.”

He and his wife, Amy, had four daughters. In addition to their daugh-

ters, they now have five grandchildren. When Emily came back from college, she wanted to jump ahead immediately into the future.

Her father was hesitant, she said. He wasn’t supportive of her dream because he was scared, she said.

“He told me that I was crazy and that I wouldn’t be able to do it,” she said.

“She got out of college, came home and said I’m doing everything wrong,” he said. “I said, ‘I raised four girls, have a good wife, have no debt. What more do you want?’”

He thought it would be too much for Emily, to take on all that debt to build new. When his father died, he was left with his father’s debts to repay. When he owned everything outright, it was a point of pride for him to never get in that situation again.

“When you’ve been doing something for 55 years, change is hard,” Tim said. “But watching that robot work is amazing.”

Seeing is believing for him. The father and daughter still butt heads sometimes, but Tim has his daughter’s back. She runs things primarily during the day, but he’s “my go-to to bounce ideas off of. He’s not my yes man. He’s a great person to keep me in check.”

Though her new building is nearing completion, and things are moving in the right direction, there are still hard days. Some days she wants to cry. Emily wrote a couple of Bible verses on posts in her new barn to keep her motivated. One is Ephesians 6:12. The other is Matthew 17:20: “If you have faith like a mustard seed, nothing to you will be impossible.”

Supreme Court’s recent Clean Water ruling makes everything murkier

By Alan Guebert

In the bitterly divided, highly partisan world of Washington, D.C., few institutions are more divided and more partisan than today’s Supreme Court.

The court showcased that split again May 25 when it significantly narrowed the federal government’s authority to protect wetlands under the 51-year-old Clean Water Act in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. The 5-4 decision was as groundbreaking as it will be waterpolluting, say environmental advocates.

Sackett case. The facts of the case are clear: In 2007, an Idaho couple, the Sacketts, planned to build a home near a lake. As construction began, EPA ordered it halted “because their lot contain(ed) wetlands protected by the CWA, which bars the discharge of pollutants, including rocks and sand, into ‘navigable waters,’” explained the independent, peer-reviewed SCOTUSblog.

The Sacketts didn’t file suit over the fact that a wetland was on their property; everyone agreed that there was. Instead, the fight ensued over whether the wetland drained into a “navigable water” as defined under the Clean Water Act.

EPA ruled it did; the Sacketts disagreed, noting that the wetland first drained into an unnavigable creek before it drained into the indisputably “navigable” lake. Despite court loss after court loss, the couple pursued the case until it rose, appeal after appeal, to the high court.

Supreme court. The court, unsurprisingly, accepted the case because previous Supreme Court rulings in Clean Water Act cases seemed to muddy the complicated law “as property owners and the federal government wrestled with how far to extend its protections against polluting the navigable waters of the country,” Roll Call recently explained.

Farm and ranch groups joined the Sacketts in the fight. After decades of tiptoeing through legal and legislative fights over what constitutes a “navigable water,” everyone — even environmental groups — wanted someone, be it Congress, the courts, or the White House, to arrive at a clear, workable clean water rule.

Previous attempts centered around WOTUS, or the broadly interpreted, EPA-empowering Waters of the United States rule.

To most farmers, WOTUS was a “I-can’t-tell-you-what-it-is-until-Isee-it” EPA trap that had not kept up with agriculture’s rapid industrialization under the aging Clean Water Act. The courts agreed and, as such, WOTUS went through several updates and revisions under succeeding administrations.

The May 25 Sackett decision, however, ended that bitter, decadeslong fight by starting another bitter, probably decades-long fight.

Justice Samuel Alito (he of recent Alaskan water fame) wrote that the Sacketts had been right from the getgo: “In sum, we hold that the CWA extends to only those ‘wetlands with a continuous surface connection to bodies that are ‘waters of the United States’ in their own right’...”

In fact, Alito added, “...they are ‘indistinguishable’ from those waters.”

Major blow. The decision, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and Justice Neil Gorsuch, “significantly shrank the reach of the federal clean water protections, dealing a major blow to President Joe Biden’s efforts to restore protections to millions of acres of wetlands and delivering a victory to multiple powerful industries,” reported Politico.

That’s an understatement; most land developers, farmers and ranchers were elated after the razor-thin decision was handed down.

Also understated are the ruling’s long-term consequences, notes De-

90 years ago this week. Connecticut has an egg marketing plan that seems most nearly to fit conditions in northeastern Ohio, members of committees which have been studying ways of getting producers more money from their flocks for six months agreed at their last discussion in Canfield.

50 years ago this week. On June 27, the Nixon Administration announced an immediate embargo on the export of soybeans and cottonseed and their products. The reason given was that this was part of the effort to increase supply of feed grains and bring down the cost of food.

25 years ago this week. A total of 24 counties are covered by a state of emergency declared by Gov. George V. Voinovich for areas affected by a series of severe storms and the resulting floods that began on June 24.

mocracyNow, a left-leaning news organization. The court’s action “ends protections for about half of all wetlands in the contiguous United States, jeopardizing access to safe drinking water for millions.”

In a curious twist, the court’s other four justices agreed that the Sacketts had been right from the start but strongly disagreed with their colleagues’ solution: knee-capping the Clean Water Act by appointing themselves “as the national decisionmaker on environmental policy.” That was Congress’s job and, in fact, it had done that job when it “drafted the CWA.”

Justice Brett Kavanaugh went further in his dissent. Writing for his three colleagues, Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, noted that the “court’s new [WOTUS] test is ‘sufficiently novel and vague’ and that it will create precisely the kind of regulatory uncertainty that the majority criticized.”

In short, the split decision only further muddies the law and rural America’s increasingly dirty waters — navigable or unnavigable.

Sutherland: Stories that shape a life

By Judith Sutherland

I have very few things passed down to me from my paternal grandparents except for stories that shape a life.

One thing my father wanted me to have, my most treasured keepsake, is the collection of log books kept by his beloved mother, Helen Young. There is one for each year that she and my grandpa raised English shepherd puppies and sold them to all 48 states.

Within one of those books, a simple entry holds a story. It is the beginning of a story that came to a tragic end.

Two brothers, Joe and Ed Hooker of New London, Ohio, came to my grandfather’s farm in the early 1960s to purchase an English shepherd puppy. It is said, through family lore, that the brothers wanted the smartest dog that money could buy.

Loyal. “Will it be loyal?” my grandfather remembered one brother asking, quite pointedly. “Loyal to the end,” was his answer.

It would be one of the last pups that my grandfather raised, ending more than 30 years of a highly successful business.

They paid their money for the male pup, and quietly went on their way.

Quietly is how the brothers had chosen to live their lives. It would have caused them great pain to know, the day they bought that pup, that the coming months and years were about to cast them brightly into the public eye.

A battle was quietly brewing, as the farm on which they had lived their entire lives was being sought for the New London Reservoir. On the day they bought the pup, they had

once again refused to sell their land. It appeared that things were about to get much more public than the reclusive men could bear.

Over the coming months, the battle hit the newspapers. The brothers stood their ground, not wanting to give up the farm that was their home and livelihood. My grandfather read of their plight and fight and empathized, growing to understand why their questions about the pup they purchased from him had been so precise.

At some point in this battle, eminent domain was mentioned. It was the beginning of the end for the two bachelor brothers.

Against their wishes, the brothers were paid for the land. Everyone knew the final dollar amount the men were given, as it was a very public battle. Sadly, it was also common knowledge that the men didn’t believe in placing money in any bank.

A court order was issued, giving the men a set amount of time to get moved off of the farm. Not a single box was packed. The men had no intention of leaving the land they treasured, and not a penny of the money paid out to them had been invested anywhere, or so people said.

The brothers went about their daily chores, their English shepherd always near.

One moonlit night, the English shepherd was shot in the chest with a bow from a silent bow and arrow. A shotgun would have signaled the brothers to bear arms against the intruders.

Crime. Two young men then broke into the home and shot and killed the brothers, taking all the cash they could

find after the deed was done. Later, more cash would be found in the home by homicide investigators, taped under tables, hidden under floors.

The murderers took off, heading for Chicago. They were apprehended after bragging about their deed. One of the young men turned state’s evidence against the other, and neither served much prison time, in spite of the fact that the use of the bow and arrow on the dog constituted, in and of itself, pre-meditated murder.

The peaceful existence of the painfully shy men was shattered by a series of fateful events, ending in a very public battleground. They were robbed of so much, including their private peace.

Though it happened before I was old enough to have known it, it is a story forever etched in my heart. I would later marry a fellow born and raised near the site of the murders, and it is a story etched in his, too.

Dairy Excel: Can the dairy industry breathe a sigh of relief?

By Maurice L. Eastridge

Of course we all have held our breath, even as youth in seeing who can hold it the longest. We often use the phrase “Don’t hold your breath on that one,” meaning it’s likely not going to happen, and you could die depriving yourself of oxygen.

In respect to a scary situation, one may take a deep breath and hold it or certainly release it slowly during the focus on the immediate crisis. Once the crisis is averted, the air is exhaled and we experience a “sigh of relief.”

Relative to the drought situation in Ohio, can we breathe a sign of relief? The average rainfall in central Ohio was 4.5% lower in April 2023 and 58% lower in May compared to the same months in 2022.

This pattern represents most of the Midwest, which put us in a concern for droughty contains for sprouting and growing of corn and soybeans and growth of forage. However, during the past couple of weeks, many areas in Ohio have received in excess of three inches of rain, and more is expected during the next few days. So, can we breathe “a sign of relief” in the dairy industry?

Although growing conditions have improved, we best not think we are “out of the woods” yet — another saying that originated in the late 1700s relating to being lost in the

forest that is applicable now for “has the crisis been averted?” The answer, perhaps not.

The following aspects need to be kept in mind as we evaluate the current situation:

• As of June 13, 57% of the corn and 51% of the soybeans in the U.S. were still regarded as being under drought conditions. The availability and price of these key energy and protein feedstuffs are dictated more than by the Ohio market and the uncertainty of the growing conditions ahead until harvest time are uncertain.

• The uncertainly of the growing conditions ahead of corn for silage and yield of forages with multiple cuttings could result in a marginal supply of forage for the herd ahead. The first cutting of forage was generally of good quality, but yield was lower in many areas. Farmers need to be planning ahead for adequate forage into the fall and next year. This could mean planting of summer annuals, purchasing some standing corn for silage or purchasing hay.

• It is projected that there will continue to be an oversupply of milk based on increased yield per cow (supply) and lower demand when the domestic consumption and export potential are combined (demand), especially as China has been gearing up production capacity within the country. With these projected sup-

ply and demand principles expected, milk prices are expected to be soft during the second half of 2023. These conditions should be putting dairy farmers on guard for management of forage supply and quality, strategic shopping for economical feeds, working closely with their nutritionist on feeding practices that promote the production of fat and protein based on present market values and evaluation of risk management options for milk prices. As is the case of football, the second half reveals the outcome of the game. The same is true for the next six months for the dairy industry.

Marlin: What a difference a day makes

By Marlin Clark

The biggest risk for someone writing opinions about grain markets is that, by the time the opinions are printed and mailed, the world can change. You can be a hero or a zero in short notice.

So, last week I made a big deal that corn market highs come in June, and June was about to end. As you read this, it is now July, and, yes, the world did change.

This week, the market was hit with fundamental issues that have shattered some assumptions about the corn and soybean markets. The issues came as a result of the U.S.

Department of Agriculture reports out June 30, and as a result of a huge weather event June 29.

Derecho. A large section of the Central and Eastern Corn Belt was hit with a “derecho” June 29. You haven’t seen that word since the big one hit Iowa in August 2020. It is defined as a long-distance, straight-line windstorm, with winds over 58 miles per hour (odd number— probably even in metric).

This one lasted eight hours, starting in southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas and traveling all the way into Indiana. Winds were sustained at over 80 mph, and had long spells over 90 mph. The results have been photographed, but the results on yields are

unknown, but serious.

The pictures and accounts I have seen detail damage that is recoverable. That is, the Iowa derecho that made our markets boom at the end of the 2020 summer was characterized by corn that was broken off. This seems to have left much of the corn bent to the ground, but not broken. In other words, instead of zero yield in a lot of farms, there will be yield-reducing damage that is not, at this moment, quantifiable.

The derecho was a mixed blessing. That is, along with it came more than an inch of rain over a large area of very dry farm land. So, the corn that was not damaged or that recovers has been given a new lease on life.

Grain report. Then, June 30, we got the grain stocks report from the USDA, and also some interesting data about this year’s crops from the June acreage report. Amazingly, the USDA raised its estimate of planted corn acres by 2.2 million, to 94.1 million acres.

This was a total shock to the market, which promptly tanked. Corn futures were down from 28 to 35 cents after the report. In other words, we traded the USDA news and ignored the derecho.

Perhaps the net result of the storm, given the rain, was not positive if the acres just got increased. It should be noted that the average guess by the big traders going into the report was for NO CHANGE! The highest guess, which seemed impossible, was for 93 million. Jim Nabors comes to mind: “Surprise, surprise!”

Soybeans. Then, there was the other market. The soybeans, which were not blown over, were estimated by USDA in the same report to have fewer acres. That makes sense. The ground got planted to one or the other. This cut was even worse. The USDA reported an estimate of 83.5 million acres, down FOUR MILLION ACRES! The trade had expected a gain of acres of 300,000. The lowest guess was for a cut of 500,000 acres.

This huge change in acres pumped the soybeans up from 44 cents on the nearby to 77 1/2 cents on the November contract.

Almost lost in the report were the actual grain stocks numbers. Corn stocks were below expectations, at 4.106 billion bushels June 1. The soybean stocks came in at 795.6 million bushels, down from 967.5 for this time last year. This soybean number was not a shock, as the trade expected 805 million.

Moving forward. So, where do we go from here? We still don’t know what the crop damage is from the storm, but everything else in the weather and the USDA points to a big crop.

We are not that far from tasseling, so a couple more good rains could get us through the worry period for corn. The damage from the storm, if we react normally, will turn out in September to be a lot less than we thought July 3. What a difference a week makes! That song is going around in my head — “What a difference a day makes, twenty-four little hours!”

Let’s put numbers on this mess. On June 21, we had a high of $6.29 3/4

Marlin Clark Market Monitor

for December corn futures. We had a low June 30 of $4.93, which was a loss of 33 3/4 cents for the day. That is a range of $1.36 3/4. The net is that we lost 27 cents on December futures in the month of June, just when corn was looking like a good price.

Meanwhile, soybean prices gained almost $2 in June! November futures gained 77 1/2 cents June 30, to $13.68. The soybeans made a high June 21, like corn. The November futures hit $13.89 that day, so the action June 30 got us back near the recent high.

Conclusion: the soybean rally is still on, the corn rally has been killed. I hope you sold corn last week. This week is the time to get a big chunk of beans sold.

Geneticist finds mutant gene threatening holstein calves

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In the fall of 2020, when Chad Dechow got a call from veterinarians in New York describing a strange condition affecting holstein calves on two farms under their care, he was unfamiliar with the condition that came to be known as calf recumbency.

The animals were weak and couldn’t stand at birth or shortly after, and most did not survive beyond six weeks of age. The vets did not detect any neurologic, infectious or metabolic abnormalities in the very young animals. It was a mystery.

“They couldn’t figure it out — they had necropsied calves that died and couldn’t find anything wrong,” said Dechow, a Penn State associate professor of dairy cattle genetics.

“They contacted me because they had read an article in a popular press magazine I had written about another genetic recessive condition.”

Investigation. The veterinarians sent tissue samples from two of the calf necropsies to Dechow’s lab in the College of Agricultural Sciences, and an investigation began. Soon after, Dechow learned that a holstein herd in Florida that uses in-vitro fertilization for its genetically elite (high producing) animals had encountered a similar problem.

One notable mating had resulted in several calves that couldn’t stand, and the herd managers sent Dechow tissue samples from them.

“Then I found a herd in Pennsylvania that also uses in-vitro fertilization that had a similar problem in some of their calves,” Dechow said. “So, between the two herds in New York, the herd in Florida and the herd in Pennsylvania, we were able to assemble a population that was big enough to start tracking down the mutation. We conducted a genomewide association using thousands of

DNA markers and pedigree analysis to determine if a genetic origin for recumbency was plausible.”

To locate the region of DNA that was triggering the condition, Dechow needed not only to genotype calves with recumbency but also a group of unaffected relatives so that the region of the genome that is different could be determined between the two groups. The research was aided by the careful genetic record keeping maintained by Holstein breeders internationally.

In the case of the newly discovered “haplotype” — which is a physical grouping of genomic variants along a chromosome — that results in calf recumbency, 18 calves that displayed the inability to stand in the neonatal period were genotyped and compared to 26 unaffected calves from the same family groups. Dechow and colleagues determined that the 18 affected calves carried two copies of a region on chromosome 16.

“What was different about this condition compared to most other known cattle genetic defects is that the mutation does not guarantee the calf will be affected,” he said. “Some animals carry two copies of the mutation and are normal. The majority, however, are not as lucky.”

The researchers traced the nearest ancestor to a common sire born in 2008 that was present for both paternal and maternal lineages of all affected calves. That sire had an influential son born in 2010 that is now one of the most highly related bulls to the holstein breed. Subsequent research has identified a bull born in 1984 as one of the first carriers, and perhaps the progenitor, of the mutation.

Dechow published the findings in November, 2022 in JDS Commu-

nications, an official journal of the American Dairy Science Association. Developing a test. After he determined the genomic region that is different, locating the specific mutation within that region was necessary to develop a DNA test to identify other animals that are carriers of the mutation.

Dechow sequenced three animals with the help of a bovine genetics company — ABS Global — to identify a mutation in a gene associated with calcium channels in muscle. Mutations in this gene are known to affect skeletal muscle function in other species, including humans.

Dechow devised a simple genetic test to identify holsteins that harbor the mutation. He and Penn State subsequently applied for a patent and have worked with three companies to date to commercialize the technology. Farmers need only to mail the lab a few strands of hair, blood or tissue to find out if the animal it came from is healthy, a carrier of the mutation or afflicted by recumbency.

For Dechow, solving a mystery through research, developing an innovative test and then working with the private sector to commercialize the technology was a fulfilling process. He expects the dairy industry to start using the test to aggressively select against bulls that carry the mutant gene.

Contributing to the research were Fiona Maunsell, Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, and Elisha Frye, Department of Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, This research was supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

More than $390,000 aimed at growing Pa. hemp industry

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding announced $392,265 in grants to three agriculture nonprofits to fund projects aimed at growing fiber and food hemp markets, sales, and awareness in Pennsylvania.

Grant recipients, amounts and project descriptions follow:

Pennsylvania Hemp Industry Council: $56,000. Funds a campaign to promote the benefits of hemp and create new markets for hemp-based products. The council is building a dynamic collaboration among farmers and other businesses, investors, government agencies, and communities to bring hemp back to Pennsylvania’s farms.

USEARCH: $20,500. U.S. Ecological Advanced Research & Conservation Hub Hemp Certificate Program for Disadvantaged Communities funds development of an educational program for disadvantaged communities including youth, veterans,

and women to enable them to get involved in the hemp industry. USEARCH is a Mayfield, Lackawanna County-based nonprofit focused on researching agricultural technologies and products derived through them.

Vytal Plant Science Research: $315,765. To introduce a STEM curriculum to high schools and universities to effectively engage in industrial hemp production, management, and cultivation by promoting and marketing industrial hemp for its many uses such as food, fiber, fuel, industrial, and personal care products. Vytal is a non-profit that sponsors research at Penn State Harrisburg’s Central Pennsylvania Research and Teaching Laboratory for Biofuels.

Grant funds reimburse up to half of project costs and were awarded in a competitive process, with special consideration for projects that leverage other funding and public-private partnerships.

These matching grants are just one way Pennsylvania is feeding growth in the new hemp industry. Other support has included creating state-level Specialty Crop Block grants through the historic PA Farm Bill when federal funding for hemp was not yet available, funding key research and development at state higher ed institutions, and convening the PA Hemp Steering Committee to foster relationships among colleges and university researchers, growers, processors, investors, and insurers.

With more than $500,000 awarded since the beginning of the Shapiro Administration, the department’s grant investments in growing a vibrant hemp industry have now topped $1.5 million.

Love can heal in magical ways

By Eliza Blue

For those of you who follow me on social media, you may have noticed a little black dog suddenly appearing three months ago in random photos and videos. A few exceptionally observant followers asked about the new arrival, but mostly her presence went unnoticed, perhaps because there were already so many dogs in my photos it was hard to keep track. Her arrival was a big deal, but I wasn’t ready to tell the whole story until now.

Regular readers may remember that our whole family had COVID in December. You also may remember that I was experiencing symptoms for months afterward. Unfortunately, I still am, although much, much less frequently and much less intensely.

March, however, was one of the hardest months of my life. I was sick, confused, starting to feel like I was never going to get better, and perhaps worst of all, despite constant trips to clinics, zoom meetings with professionals, and a mounting stacks of medical bills, no one had a clue what was actually wrong with me.

Was it psychosomatic PTSD from being so sick and trapped in our house during those terrible winter storms? Was it solely long COVID?

Was it something that COVID had unmasked, or was it totally unrelated? I knew I needed to focus on taking it one day at a time, but some days the symptoms were so oppressive I could barely make it one hour at a time.

Right before we’d all gotten sick, a neighbor had posted pictures of a litter of tiny bulldog mix puppies. Their wee smoshed faces, chubby bellies, and short, wobbly legs were endearing and adorable. I showed the pictures to my husband. “Good thing we already have too many dogs,” I said with a laugh.

It was true — with two house

dogs (aka full time pets) and one aging, guard dog (aka part-time pet), we definitely didn’t need another dog. But I kept returning to our neighbor’s Facebook page to look at pictures and videos of the puppies as they grew, especially after I got sick, simply because their cuteness cheered me up.

By the end of March, I’d forgotten all about the puppies though. Endless cold, endless illness and endless fatigue were all I could imagine. And then, after yet another doctor’s appointment where they’d scheduled yet another expensive test that no one actually thought would reveal anything but somehow seemed better than doing nothing, I ran into that very neighbor in the parking lot of a random farm supply store.

At that point, I only left the ranch for doctor’s appointments, so it was weird that I was even there, but when the neighbor waved me over, opened the door to her vehicle, and into my arms jumped a wriggling half-grown bulldog it felt like fate. “Oh, it’s my puppy,” I heard my own voice say inside my head.

I quickly recovered my senses, handed the puppy back, then got into my car for the long drive home. I allowed myself a sigh of longing, and once again, clear as a bell I heard my own voice say: “Look, you can get that puppy, or you can keep getting expensive tests. It’s up to you.”

Long story short, I haven’t gotten any expensive tests since that day. And that little bulldog has slept under the covers by my feet or with her head on the pillow like a human, nearly every night since.

We call her “Little Bea,” and she is just as full of the sweetness and naughty delights as you’d expect a tiny bulldog puppy to be. If I’m sitting, she’s in my lap. If I’m walking, she’s by my side. She has a small bed in the passenger seat of my car for long drives. I joke that she’s my therapy dog, but I’m actually not joking.

Scientists predict mild harmful algal bloom for Lake Erie this year

(Continued from page A1)

oceanographer with NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science. So if heavier rainfall sends more nutrients into the lake at that time, those nutrients are available to the blooms right when they’re growing.

If July brings some intense storms, the bloom could wind up being less mild this year. Currently, July rainfall is predicted to be slightly above average, Stumpf said.

“If it rains some, don’t be too concerned because it’s so dry that a lot of that has to soak into the ground,” he added. “So there’s a lot of catch-up room.”

Researchers have also noticed the peaks of Lake Erie’s algal blooms are lasting longer. In 2010, for example, the bloom peaked at almost an 8 on the index, but that peak only lasted for 10 days. In 2022, the slightly lower peak went on for 20 to 30 days, Stumpf said. Since the severity index currently considers the amount of time the peak lasts as well as the size of the

bloom, those longer peaks are likely affecting the forecasts.

“We’re now trying to adjust the severity index to correct for this shift,” Stumpf said.

Targets. The amount of phosphorus going into the water overall should be close to targets based on the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, said Johnson, most likely because of the dry weather. The agreement aims to cut the amount of phosphorus going into the lake by 40% by 2025.

Concentrations of phosphorus going into the lake, however, remain higher than the target.

Efforts. Public and private sector programs continue to work on the issue. The Ohio Agriculture Conservation Initiative announced in May that more than 2,000 farmers in northwest Ohio have gotten involved with its certification program since 2020, when the program launched.

That program helps farmers develop nutrient management plans to improve water quality. It also works with the H2Ohio initiative,

Ohio’s water quality improvement plan, to help farmers fund best management practices to improve water quality.

While the H2Ohio program currently covers 24 counties in northwest Ohio, the certification program is actually available statewide.

It takes time to see results, partly because scientists estimate 60-80% of the phosphorus load into Lake Erie is legacy phosphorus, built up in farm fields from years of fertilizer applications. Researchers have been working on ways to identify which legacy phosphorus fields are likely to have a lot of runoff, and to reduce the phosphorus coming from those fields through things like phosphorus filters.

“It’s a tough problem. We’re doing the right things to move in the right direction,” said Christopher Winslow, director of Ohio Sea Grant.

Federal grants give boost to smaller meat processors

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —

Smaller meat and poultry operators in 17 states will receive $115 million in grants, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced June 29, as the agency continues efforts to shift a decadeslong trend on consolidation in food production.

The USDA grants are the latest in a series of awards President Joe Biden’s administration has made that are intended to increase meat and poultry processing, benefiting farmers and providing more job opportunities in largely rural areas.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the grants at an event in Des Moines with farmers, meat processors and business owners who have benefited from the USDA’s emphasis on helping small farmers find new markets and adding smaller processors to a meat industry now dominated by a handful of giant companies.

Vilsack, a former governor of Iowa, noted that 7.5% of farms now receive 89% of all farming income. While Vilsack said those big operations are important, it is vital for small farmers to receive a greater share of the income in order to reverse population and wealth declines in rural communities.

Changing consolidation trends will take time, Vilsack acknowledged, but he said without that change the U.S. would see fewer farm families,

fewer customers for small town businesses and fewer kids in rural schools.

“The worst thing of all is, parents and grandparents at the coffee table having to hear their children and grandchildren explaining why they are leaving,” Vilsack said.

The funding announced includes 10 awards to recipients in 12 states totaling $77 million through a program that finances the startup or expansion of meat and poultry processing plants.

The awards include $15 million to Mountain West Economic Development in Montana to expand slaughterhouse operations in the state’s Flathead Valley, and $800,000 to the Farmers Union Foundation for smaller processors in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The USDA made five awards totaling $38 million through a slaughterhouse expansion program that will help independent producers in five states.

Projects receiving funding are in Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.

Op-Ed: Support increased funding in the 2023 Farm Bill

By Brenda J. Shambaugh HARRISBURG,

West

township Ruritan 2023 Pull

WEIGHT

Rules:

Pa. — Did you know that over one-quarter of all the land in Pennsylvania is farmland? Of the 52,700 farms on this land, 88% are small producers making under $250,000 in gross revenue each year.

Many farmers rely on federal Farm Bill conservation programs to adopt conservation practices. Congress will soon consider a 2023 Farm Bill which could provide a unique opportunity to focus resources on farms in Pennsylvania helping ensure enough clean water for future generations, reduce pollution, bolster them to weather the changes brought by climate change, and keep them operating with a profit.

The Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, representing all 66 conservation districts in the Commonwealth, strongly supports funding for state and federal conservation programs.

Conservation districts are local units of government providing a wide range of services for the conservation of the Commonwealth’s natural resources. Districts imple-

ment programs, projects and activities working with landowners, local governments, and a variety of partners to provide technical and financial assistance.

These natural resource programs supported by PACD provide almost $46 million to Pennsylvania’s producers to implement environmentally beneficial best management practices on their farms. Combined, these programs included 733 contracts with Pennsylvania farmers, encompassing 155,658 acres.

The 2023 Farm Bill should increase funding for these effective programs responding to a growing demand and helping ensure success of resource protection efforts. The key to success involves highly trained field staff to ensure that tools and incentives are efficiently used to target the most effective practices in the most effective locations, accelerating restoration progress. Funding for technical assistance personnel at the local level through conservation districts is vital to preserve both surface and groundwater resources.

While 28% of Pennsylvania is farmland, over 58% is forest lands,

GEARED FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY.

Guest Commentary

totaling 16.8 million acres. Nonindustrial private forest lands cover about 11.5 million acres in Pennsylvania which is owned and operated by more than 738,000 private forest landowners.

Forest Buffers and streamside trees are one of the most cost-effective BMPs for reducing pollution to Pennsylvania’s rivers and streams, while also providing benefits to wildlife, sequestering carbon and making streams resilient to weather extremes of flooding and drought. Through financial and technical assistance, and in coordination with partners, Pennsylvania is making significant steps toward a goal of maintaining and improving the health and resiliency of forested ecosystems on private forest lands. We highly recommend funding in the 2023 Farm Bill to address the health and resiliency of Pennsylvania’s forests.

The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program is another program geared toward providing incentives to restore and improve Pennsylvania’s water quality. It is a voluntary federal-state partnership allowing landowners to remove marginal land from agricultural production under 10-15 year contracts. In return, landowners receive annual rental, incentive, maintenance and cost-share payments.

Legislative changes in the 2023 Farm Bill removing barriers to enrollment and allowing states to easily take advantage of program improvements and incentives for landowners will help re-invigorate this critical opportunity to enhance the CREP program.

Please join PACD to support increased funding for these federal programs in the 2023 Farm Bill that benefit small family farms and landowners, and cleaner rivers and streams, and contact your United States Representatives and two United States Senators as they deliberate this critical piece of legislation. Thank you.

Riparian zones important to ecosystems

By Dylan Stine

Riparian zones are a very important part of our everyday life. They serve many purposes along the streams and rivers to support a biodiversity ecosystem.

A riparian zone is an area of land on or adjacent to a river or stream, normally dominated by herbaceous cover that acts as a buffer from the upland. These areas are tolerant to flooding or saturated soils normally in the floodplain. They are also home to an abundance of wildlife.

Water quality. These zones are important to water quality in many ways. Water will naturally flow at 3½ ft/sec. To maintain that speed, streams and rivers will start to meander or head cut deeper.

While most streams you see may have a meandering look, this does not mean they are unhealthy. Riparian zones will hold the soil in place to reduce erosion.

Trees growing on the river and stream banks will help stabilize the banks to reduce stream bank erosion. They can act as a buffer to slow runoff from fields, roads and urban areas. The trees, grass and plants that grow there can remove nutrients and

sediments, and even block pesticides from reaching the streams.

These areas have a seasonally high-water table keeping the soils moist most of the time. The soils here act as a sponge and can absorb a lot of runoff. This helps to protect the surface water.

The soils and riparian zones combined can take the excess water on floodplains by increasing water storage capacity and reducing the risk of erosion. When the water level retreats, the groundwater in the soil will be right behind it opening more storage for the next flood.

The trees in the riparian zone can also block the drift from pesticides being applied and protect the organisms that inhabit the streams and rivers providing an overall healthy ecosystem.

Wildlife protection. Wildlife frequently inhabits these zones. Protection and cover are essential for wildlife survival. Riparian zones provide this by acting as a travel corridor for many different species.

Fish greatly benefit because of the shade provided by the trees creating cooler water temperatures. The clean and sediment free water is important for fish and aquatic in-

sects to be able to breath and establish spawning sites.

Leaves, woody debris and other organic materials provide habitat for the fish and their prey. All types of mammals and amphibians rely on riparian habitats for foraging, nesting and shelter.

Riparian Zones serve as the water treatment facilities for our watersheds.

Group develops strategy to reduce spotted

lanternfly spread

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Spotted Lanternfly Strategic Planning Working Group has released the Spotted Lanternfly Five-Year Strategy for fiscal years 2024-2028.

APHIS brought together the working group in August 2022 with representatives from APHIS, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and the National Plant Board. The working group developed a unified approach to reduce the spotted lanternfly’s spread and impacts through the effective use of available state and federal resources.

The five-year strategy prioritizes the following goals:

• Effectively limit the advancement of spotted lanternfly and efficiently respond to its introduction within Federal and State authority and resource availability.

• Support continued scientific research towards practical management and risk mitigation.

• Establish a consistent national and state-level outreach message and educational campaign for the public and industries at risk for spreading spotted lanternfly.

SLF has spread to 13 additional states since it was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2014. Spotted lanternflies prefer to feed on the invasive tree of heaven, but they also feed on a wide range of crops and plants, including grapes, apples, hops, walnuts and hardwood trees. As resources available are limited, developing a strategy in coordination with the states to address this invasive pest is critical.

To reduce the spread, APHIS and states will create a framework to prevent human-assisted movement, promote public reporting and early detection and continuously leverage the latest research and management tools available.

The new strategy builds the capacity to combat SLF in areas at high risk of introduction and stresses that SLF management plans be based on the latest risk-assessment modeling data which helps predict where SLF populations may emerge.

Federal and state partners will also unite their research resources and share knowledge about SLF to limit its movement and distribution. While leveraging best practices in the field, State and Federal partners will prioritize more research on climate and host-plant suitability, biocontrol agents, as well as other effective management tools.

Penn State mapping project key to securing federal broadband funding

In November 2022, the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority announced a contract with Penn State Extension to develop and update state broadband maps to enable the commonwealth to maximize its federal funding allocation for high-speed internet expansion under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Determining internet service availability across Pennsylvania is a critical factor in calculating the state’s portion of the $42.5 billion available through the act’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program. Rules for the program call for the funding to be allocated based, in large part, on each state’s percentage of unserved locations, as identified by updated Federal Communications Commission broadband maps.

Under the Broadband Development Authority contract, Penn State Extension educators developed public broadband spatial analysis and mapping tools; evaluated the accuracy of industry-provided data to inform the state’s process of challenging discrepancies in FCC maps of broadband service availability; and provided analyses

to help state and local officials estimate the cost of projects to deploy fiber-optic cable for high-speed internet delivery.

James Ladlee, state program leader for Extension’s Emerging and Advanced Technology Initiative, explained that this work helped the authority to identify more than 50,000 Pennsylvania locations that were incorrectly reported as having access to high-speed internet and to submit challenges to the FCC by the Jan. 13 deadline.

“So far, more than 28,000 of those challenges have been accepted, with several thousand still pending,” Ladlee said. “Each successful service-availability challenge is expected to positively influence Pennsylvania’s share of this investment, pushing the value of this work to, conservatively, tens of millions in additional broadband funding likely secured for the commonwealth.”

According to Ladlee, the authority’s partnership with Penn State Extension helped Pennsylvania submit the third most individual service-availability challenges among states nationwide.

Ladlee noted that Extension previously worked in partnership with the state Public Utility Commission on mapping tools that helped the state obtain almost $369 million in broadband funding under a different federal program, which is expected to enable up to 327,000 Pennsylvanians to gain high-speed internet access.

He pointed out that improving the state’s broadband map is an on-

going effort that will help ensure accurate and equitable distribution of resources in the future.

“While the map we developed for the authority will never be done, it’s an excellent start to help Pennsylvania identify areas for further review through the upcoming state challenge process, which is required after the federal funding is awarded,” he said.

Rick Roush, dean of Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, — under which Penn State Extension is administered — said enhancing broadband infrastructure is critical for the future of agricultural research, educational program delivery, medical and veterinary telehealth, business development across the food system, and career and workforce development.

He said extension’s contribution to this initiative is consistent with the college’s legacy of advancing technology that benefits the state’s agriculture, communities and citizens.

“Robust broadband deployment represents an opportunity to develop and adopt the next generation of innovative technologies that use connected digital infrastructure to help improve efficiency and sustainability and support Pennsylvania’s economy,” he said.

“The college is proud to partner with the Broadband Development Authority to expand broadband funding across the commonwealth, and we look forward to helping improve high-speed internet availability and technological advancement even further in the future.”

Environmental violators get jail time

COLUMBUS — The Environmental Enforcement Section of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office recently logged a pair of court victories, securing jail time for two environmental polluters in separate cases — one in southeast Ohio and the other in northeast Ohio.

Southeast Ohio. The first case involved Benjamin L. Altier, 66, of Corning, and the company he owns. He pleaded guilty to theft, a fifth-degree felony, and to improperly storing or disposing of brine, an unclassified misdemeanor. Brine is a waste byproduct consisting of water, oil and salts that is brought to the surface during the extraction of oil and gas.

Perry County Common Pleas Court Judge Tina Boyer sentenced Altier to 30 days in jail, three years of community control, $5,129.16 in restitution to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and 50 hours of community service.

Additionally, Altier’s company, Altier Brothers Inc., was ordered to pay $5,000 in fines, $10,000 in restitution to Rural Action for the remediation of Sunday Creek, and was placed under one year of community control. The company must remove all brine and storage containers from its Corning property within 90 days. Altier’s company drills wells and is also a registered brine hauler and owner of oil and gas wells in the state.

Altier fabricated wastewater disposal tickets, then submitted the fraudulent tickets to ODNR, so that he was reimbursed for disposal fees that he did not pay. Instead of properly disposing of the wastewater, which he collected during the plugging of multiple orphan wells, Altier dumped some of it on land and improperly stored the rest.

The Altier investigation was conducted by Environmental Enforcement Unit of the attorney general’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation and prosecuted by the Criminal Prosecution Unit of the AG’s Environmental

The second case involved Joseph Senk, a 65-year-old resident of Northfield Village. Senk was found guilty of open dumping of solid wastes and illegal transportation of scrap tires, both unclassified felonies.

Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Alison McCarty sentenced Senk to 90 days in jail and two years of community control and imposed a $10,000 fine.

Senk picked up scrap tires from various businesses in the greater Cleveland area using false exemptions under Ohio law. He then hauled the scrap tires to his property, where the tire treads were cut into large pieces.

Subsequently, the tires were dumped at an unlicensed scrap tire disposal facility and in a vacant lot in Northfield. Some of the scrap tires were even dumped in a small stream, where flooding carried them 300 feet downstream.

The Senk investigation was a collaborative effort between BCI’s Environmental Enforcement Unit and the Special Investigations Unit of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The case was prosecuted by the Criminal Prosecution Unit of the Environmental Enforcement Section.

H2Ohio invests in Mentor Marsh, water infrastructure

COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike

DeWine and Ohio EPA Director

Anne M. Vogel announced $2.8 million in H2Ohio grants for 10 projects that will improve water quality in Ohio.

Projects receiving funding include the Mentor Marsh: Mentor Marsh. H2Ohio will provide $500,000 to support the Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s Mentor Marsh Coastal Restoration Project. The grant will be used to monitor and remove invasive species and grow native plants that will improve the overall health and quality of the wetland.

This grant builds on DeWine’s commitment to restoring the marsh, which was destroyed by salt pollution several decades ago. In 2013, while serving as Ohio’s attorney general, Governor DeWine filed a lawsuit against the entity responsible for the damage. As a result, the 801-acre wetland has largely been remediated and can even serve as a healthy nursery for fish species such as northern pike, fry and yellow perch fingerlings.

H2Ohio will provide approximately $2.1 million to four com-

munities in need of the repair and replacement of aging water infrastructure.

The communities receiving funding include the following:

Donnelsville (Clark County), $750,000: H2Ohio funding will cover the planning and engineering design of a drinking water distribution system for the village of Donnelsville. The village is currently served by individual wells which may be contaminated. Drinking water will be provided by a nearby public water system. This project will help provide a more reliable water source to approximately 100 homes.

Magnetic Springs (Union County), $400,000: H2Ohio funding will help Magnetic Springs cover the planning and engineering design of a wastewater collection system for the village, which currently does not have sanitary sewers. This project will benefit approximately 110 homes.

Ravenna (Portage County), $488,230: H2Ohio funding will help eliminate failing household sewage treatment systems in the Foxwood Estates subdivision to connect 10 homes to Ravenna’s sewer system.

Summit County, $500,000: H2Ohio funding will help in the planning and engineering design of wastewater and drinking water improvements for the village of Peninsula. The village currently does not have sanitary sewers or public drinking water.

H2Ohio funding also will provide a total of $263,000 to health districts in Licking, Lorain, Portage, Stark and Wayne Counties for the repair or replacement of failing home sewage treatment systems.

Gov. DeWine launched H2Ohio in 2019 as to improve water quality effort across Ohio. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and Ohio Lake Erie Commission each have a significant role in H2Ohio through the creation of wetlands, reduction of nutrient runoff to waterways, and increased access to clean drinking water and quality sewer systems.

Ohio State announces Dale and Betty Hedge Family Scholarship

By Sherrie R. Whaley

COLUMBUS — Students who graduated from an Ohio high school and are now enrolled in The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences can benefit from a new scholarship established to honor retired Noble County dairy farmers, Dale and Betty Hedge.

The Dale and Betty Hedge Family Scholarship will fund one or more awards, with preference given to candidates majoring in animal science with an interest in dairy science.

The Hedge family has deep roots in Noble County, living and farming there from the mid-1800s. Dale’s father, L.E. Hedge, worked with the local Rural Electrification Administration board to bring electricity to rural residents.

Dale and Betty, who married in 1949, began dairy farming and ran a small, but successful dairy for over 40 years. The Hedges helped modernize dairy farming by being the first in Noble County to use both artificial insemination and the Dairy

Herd Improvement Association milk testing service. They were also the first dairy farmers to sell bulk milk in the county.

Dale served on numerous boards and committees that supported agriculture. He was the recipient of several awards, receiving the first Farmer of the Year award in Noble County, as well as production awards from Central Ohio Breeders Association.

Betty raised the heifer calves, kept farm records and was a clerk for Brookfield Township for 28 years.

The Hedges also supported and utilized Ohio State University Extension — CFAES’ statewide outreach arm — almost from its inception. They took advantage of extension educational programs whether for farm management, record keeping, homemaking or youth development.

Betty was a longtime 4-H leader and Dale served on the Noble County Fair Board.

They retired from farming in 1991, but continue to support agriculture in any way they can.

Their two daughters, Debbie (Hedge) Grammer and Linda (Hedge)

Dunn, created the Hedge Family Scholarship to recognize and honor the lifelong commitment their parents have had toward agriculture and education.

The sisters realize how fortunate they were to have parents so committed to their higher education. Their hope is that through this scholarship their parents’ commitment to education and agriculture will be celebrated for years to come.

DALE AND BETTY HEDGE

Quiet night reminds us of God’s presence

of a light breeze. Darkness and quiet.

Then, I caught a glimpse of something from my childhood, the flash of a lightning bug (firefly, if you prefer). Then another winked its response. It is difficult to determine how many there were, because they would not hold still for a count. I guess that perhaps eight to 10 or so preformed for me.

What were they communicating? perhaps some were looking for dates, while others were just saying “Hi” to each other. Whatever their messages, they were doing their lightning bug jobs.

schedules and deadlines of life’s hard realities.

But for a sleepless moment filled with concerns about this and questions about that, I found calm in the peaceful darkness of God’s creation and return of lightning bugs, the little harbingers of hope in the darkness of our own making.

God may speak to us in big ways or in small ways. But God speaks to us always. The hills reminded the psalmist of the Almighty’s permanent and reliable presence. I saw something of the same thing in some lowly lightning bugs.

Sometimes it is best to hold your tongue

By JRhoades

I know for sure out of all the scriptures my parents agreed with, one stands out: “He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.”

Proverbs 13:24.

In less than an instant, she slapped me across my face so fast and so hard that she broke my heart. To this day it still hurts me to think I ever said something so disrespectful to my own mother that it caused her to responded in the way she did.

Psalm 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

We haven’t seen many lightning bugs in recent years. Pesticides and herbicides have diminished the little night lights’ numbers.

Those of us who have been around for a number of years remember those warm summer nights spent catching fireflies, putting them in clear glass jars and watching them provide a distinct glow in the darkness. Then we would release them to go on their ways.

Perhaps it’s a good idea to spend part of an evening outside. Maybe some of us cannot avoid the neighbors’ porch lights or the streetlights. But even under those circumstances, you and I may spot the yellow wink of a firefly communicating with another of its species.

Let’s take another look at its message. We may catch a God-sent reminder to us. God is always with us in all circumstances. Then let us drift off to sleep, confident of that fact.

I was just the kind of kid who gave my parents ample opportunity to ”diligently” show their love for me in the above manner as I was, no doubt, a mischievous kid with a dose of ornery tossed in for good measure.

The mouth and the tongue — oh, that we would watch ourselves carefully, for not only can we use it rudely in disrespectful back talk, but if not careful we may find ourselves using it to slander, lie, criticize, profane and in other wrongful and hurtful ways.

“The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; the one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.” Proverbs 13:3.

THE

LIGHTNING BUGS’ MESSAGE

Not being able to get back to sleep the other night, I sat on our back porch. I must have been there in my pajamas for a couple of hours, listening to and watching nature do its night thing. A heavy dew had set in, bringing with it the musty smell of damp earth and the aromas of vegetation, changing with the shifts

NEVER-FAILING LOVE

[God] makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

— Matthew 5:45 (NRSV)

We had just planted a few vegetable seedlings when our town had continuous cold and rainy days for a week. Tender sprouts of green beans were just peeking out of the ground. But because of the cold weather, nothing showed any sign of further growth.

Sadly, some leaves were even curling up due to the cold spell in the middle of spring. I was concerned

Summer’s foliage blocked out the back porch lights on neighbors’ houses facing the next street over with only a glimpse of their street light peeking through the trees. The resulting darkness blotted out the distractions resulting from human activity.

The earthy smells, dampness and the night’s cool air left me with a sense of peace found in the order of God’s creation. The lightning bugs added repeated reminders of our Maker’s presence in our world.

I am not a guy who is moved to write poetry about shady glenns and balmy breezes. Like most of the rest of us, I live in the world of concrete,

There is a poem written by an unknown author to the tune of “Taps.” I remember it from the scout camp of my youth.

Day is done.

Gone the sun

From the lakes, From the hills, From the sky. All is well.

Safely rest.

God is nigh.

Today’s prayer: God, be with us in our uncertainties and moments of vulnerability. May we know the peace of your presence, even if we must be reminded of it by simple things like lightning bugs. Amen.

As I have previously mentioned, I was a bit of an escape artist when it came to getting out of the farm chores assigned to me by my parents. But my dad was always much better at keeping me rounded up and busy than I was at escaping and so, the manure got pitched, the fences got mended, the hay got put up and so on.

Now this doesn’t mean I did it with out complaint, it just means I did it. My parents, I admit, were more than patient with my complaining, but one thing they absolutely would not tolerate was any sassy back talk.

I, unfortunately, and all too often, had a mouthful of something I should have kept to myself, but didn’t. I have no idea where I learned such a nasty disrespectful approach to their requests, but still, talking back crept into my vocabulary.

Jesus gave warning to the crowds in Matthew 15:7 by saying, “Hear and understand. It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

Peter, the outspoken one, later asked Him to explain, whereby Jesus clarified His parable by saying, “The things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man.” Matthew 15:18,19,20.

about my garden. Would it survive without the warmth of the sun?

As I looked out one morning, the sun was shining and the birds were singing! Surely, the day looks different, I thought. I stepped out to see how it felt outdoors. What a nice warm day! I felt good. When I looked at the plants in my garden they seemed to feel good too. What a difference the sun had made!

The warmth of the sun made me realize my gratitude to God, whose warmth embraces me in all weather and circumstances. What’s more amazing is that God’s rain and sun

benefit all people, whether they are righteous or unrighteous.

I also remembered the faith of the displaced Israelites, who affirmed, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning” (Lam. 3:22-23). Let us give thanks for God’s never-failing love.

Today’s prayer: Loving God, we receive your gifts with joy. We are grateful that your blessings are assured for us always. Amen.

— Paul Benjamin, New Jersey

Neither my mom nor my dad gave an inkling of tolerance to this kind of talk and, being a slow learner, I gave them numerous opportunities to diligently show their love for me through discipline; and believe me when I say I was not spoiled by their sparing of the rod.

I remember one occasion, at about the age of 15, standing behind the cows in the barn during milking; my dad was holding a milking machine in one hand and the rubber vacuum hose in the other. I don’t remember the conversation, but I do remember mouthing off to him and most definitely I remember his lightning quick response.

He wrapped the rubber hose around my back side and told me to get moving. After I pushed my eyeballs back into their sockets, I did just that — I got moving.

I suppose my most remembered, and regretful, occasion of misusing my tongue toward my parents was a time when I was standing just inside the door to our old farmhouse kitchen.

For whatever the reason, I whipped off a few choice and disrespectful words to my mother. At the time I was a teenager of about 6 foot and she stood at 5 foot, but that did not intimidate her in the slightest.

You may be interested to know that I did not always use my mouth to be disrespectful to others. There were times when I actually used it to be kind and respectful. Though mostly I used it for plain conversation, I also found it came in handy to render a small compliment or a simple thank you.

In Matthew 16:35-37, Jesus tells us, “The mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

With his mouth, the good man brings what is good, and the evil man brings what is evil, but to all, “every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.” So always be mindful of what you say.

“O be careful little tongue, what you say, O be careful little tongue, what you say, For the Father up above is looking down in love, So be careful little tongue, what you say.” Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24.

Advice from a dog

summer break means summer fun in the sun! The other day my mom took us to the public swimming pool; on the way there, she told us to look out for each other even though the lifeguard is on duty. That really made a lot of sense to me because the last time we went to the pool, one kid fell in while the lifeguard was busy with someone else. A dad jumped in and pulled that kid to safety. That dad was aware of the situation and was looking out for all of the kids that day. It was really cool.

l Crockpot Applesauce

• 4 lbs. apples, Golden Delicious or McIntosh

• 1/2 cup water or apple juice

• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

In the KNOW...

Various fruits and vegetables are more readily available at certain times of the year when they’re considered in-season. Preserve fresh taste and make sure your food doesn’t go to waste. Longer term canning processes will appear in a couple of weeks, and we welcome your recipes now.

l Strawberry Freezer Jam

• 2 cups crushed strawberries

• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice

• 4 1/2 cups sugar

• 3/4 cup water

• 6 Tbsp. fruit pectin

Combine prepared fruit with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add sugar, mixing thoroughly. Let stand 10 minutes. Whisk water and pectin in a small saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring constantly. Boil hard for one minute, continuing to stir. Add cooked pectin mixture to fruit mixture and stir for three minutes.

• 1 lemon, zest and juice

• 1/3 cup water

• 4 cups sugar

Wash the oranges and lemon, thoroughly scrubbing the peels. Cut off the ends of the oranges. Cut the oranges in half, and then cut each half into 4, so you’re left with 8 pieces of orange. Discard any seeds. Place the orange pieces in a food processor and chop until the rind is in very small pieces. Place a plate in the freezer, to help us test for doneness later. Add oranges to a large saucepan over medium heat. Zest the lemon into the pot and squeeze the juice from it into the pot. Add water and the sugar and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a low boil and simmer, stirring often, for 30-35 minutes until thickened. When done, it will slide off the spoon in sheets, not droplets, and a spoonful poured onto a cold plate should be a soft gel consistency that moves slightly. If after pouring onto a cold plate it’s thin and runs easily on the plate, it is not ready, so continue cooking. When ready, pour into jars or containers with a lid. Allow to cool to room temperature, and then store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to three months.

Put the prepped apple pieces into the slow cooker and mix them with the sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla. Pour the water mixture over the apples and combine very well. Cover the slow cooker. Cook the apples until they are very soft on the low setting for 6 hours or on the high setting for 3 hours. If too thin, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch dissolved in water to apples and continue to cook, uncovered, until desired consistency is reached. Let apples cool. Transfer two cups at a time into a blender for smoother texture. Freezes well.

Free SCN SOIL TESTS

ACHIEVING R.O.I. THROUGH PLANT RESEARCH

Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) egg populations can build up quickly, causing a 15-30% yield reduction with little to no visible signs of damage or infestation. The only way to truly know if SCN is present in your fields is to test your soil. Now, thanks to funding from your soybean checkoff and The SCN Coalition, you can test up to two samples — free of charge — to learn if SCN is present and which farm-specific solutions to put in place right away. That’s in-the-field proof of your checkoff dollars working to protect your soybean yield and profits.

Life Out Loud!

Where there’s smoke …

from the smoke of a distant fire.”

— Sanford Townsend Band

By the time you read this, Canada may have just gone ahead and killed us. To be fair, it is probably justifiable homicide. In U.S. and Canadian relations, the United States have been like the noisy southern neighbors who often act rowdy and definitely bring down the property values.

For the past week, a wide swatch of the U.S. has been blanketed by smoke from the distant Canadian fires. I don’t know why it smells more like burning trash than a campfire but it does.

I like a nice campfire scent. This is not it. It’s rancid with a hint of plastic.

A few years ago, we were all supposed to become armchair epidemiologists overnight. Now we’ve moved on to the science of smells and woodsmoke. According to research (read: internet search), when trees with leaves are burned they emit gasses. These gasses can smell terrible.

As someone who barely paid attention in science class, I’m going to believe the internet on this one. Since the United States also likes to throw a big forest fire from time to time, we really can’t be too bitter.

We also offer other unmitigated disasters including, but not limited to, flaming train derailments. We aren’t really going to point fingers. We just pray for safety for the firefighters and healing for the damaged land.

Friends. The United States also invaded Canada in two wars: the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and the War of 1812. Not ones to hold a grudge, Canadians are generally welcoming and wonderful people, so they’re fine with us now.

The U.S. and Canada have a

TROUBLING LOSS

Struggling beekeepers stabilize population

By Seth Borenstein

AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s honeybee hives just staggered through the second highest death rate on record, with beekeepers losing nearly half of their managed colonies, an annual bee survey found.

But using costly and Herculean measures to create new colonies, beekeepers are somehow keeping afloat. A recent University of Maryland and Auburn University survey found that even though 48% of colonies were lost in the year that ended April 1, the number of United States honeybee colonies “remained relatively stable.”

LARGE

DIE-OFFS

Honeybees are crucial to the food supply, pollinating more than 100 of the crops we eat, including nuts, vegetables, berries, citrus and melons. Scientists said a combination of parasites, pesticides, starvation and climate change keep causing large die-offs.

Last year’s 48% annual loss is up from the previous year’s loss of 39% and the 12-year average of 39.6%, but it’s not as high as 2020-2021’s 50.8% mortality rate, according to the survey funded and administered by the nonprofit research group Bee Informed Partnership.

Beekeepers told the surveying scientists that 21% loss over the winter is acceptable and more than three-fifths of beekeepers surveyed said their losses were higher than that.

“This is a very troubling loss number when we barely manage sufficient colonies to meet pollination demands in the U.S.,” said former government bee scientist Jeff Pettis, president of the global beekeeper association Apimondia that wasn’t part of the study.

“It also highlights the hard work that beekeepers must do to rebuild their colony numbers each year.”

LEARNED TO REBOUND

The overall bee colony population is relatively steady because commercial beekeepers split and restock their hives, finding or buying new queens, or even starter packs for colonies, said University of Maryland bee researcher Nathalie Steinhauer, the survey’s lead author. It’s an expensive and time consuming process.

The prognosis is not as bad as 15 years ago because beekeepers have learned how to rebound from big losses, she said.

“The situation is not really getting worse, but it’s also not really getting better,” Steinhauer said. “It is not a bee apocalypse.”

Despite big annual losses the situation is a far cry from 2007 when many bee experts expected an end to managed pollination said U.S. Department

Agriculture research entomologist Jay Evans, who wasn’t part of the survey.

“There are threats certainly in the environment and honeybees have persisted,” Evans said. “I don’t think honeybees will go extinct but I think they will always have these sort of challenges.”

Some commercial beekeepers who have succeeded in the past lost as much as 80% of their colonies this past year, while other beekeepers did well, it varied so much, Evans said. Pettis, who has 150 colonies on Maryland’s Eastern shore, had less than 18% loss, saying he used organic acids for mite control.

PARASITIC MITE

The parasitic mite Varroa destructor that helps transmit viruses is the chief culprit, but bad weather and queen issues were also big problems in the past year, Steinhauer said.

Pesticides also make things worse because it makes bees more vulnerable to diseases and less likely to seek food, she said.

“It really can be like death by a thousand cuts with the most obvious one being varroa,” Steinhauer said.

The mite varroa is a flat creature that crawls on the bee – it would be the equivalent of a frisbee or flat softball on human bodies – Evans said. The mite seems to make it easier for viruses to attack and kill bees, he and Steinhauer said.

It used to take large amounts of varroa, such as in 60% of a colony, to cause virus problems, but now even small infestations at 1% or 2% in a colony can cause massive problems, Steinhauer said.

“We are fighting this evolving enemy,” Steinhauer said.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Another problem is landscapes that have only one crop or homogenous landscapes which deprive bees of food, while pesticides and bouts of extreme weather also have caused problems.

For example in the Washington, D.C. area unusual 80-degree warmth in January brought some bees out of their normal winter routine and then when it turned cool again, they had problems, Evans said.

“The impact of climate change on bee colony survival is real and can go undetected,” Pettis said in an email.

The demand for pollination from commercial bee colonies is growing even as the beekeepers have to work harder to make up for losses, Steinhauer said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 35% of the human diet comes from insectpollinated plants and the honeybee is responsible for 80% of that pollination.

“There is this whole side of our agricultural industry that relies on these colonies,” Steinhauer said. “And the fact that every year the commercial beekeepers have to invest so much more effort to keep those numbers up because they have to fulfill those pollination contracts puts a lot of stress on those beekeepers and the bees.”

Where there’s smoke …

(Continued from Page B1)

sibling relationship, really. We love to bust each other’s chops, but we also have each other’s backs. Personally, some of our best friends are Canadians. This, of course, makes me fully capable of declaring myself an “expert” on the country.

Like most people with only a loose grasp of geography, I assume that anything that happens anywhere in Canada is, in fact, happening to our friends.

I have also been known to ask anyone from Canada if they know them? “Kelly from Canada. Do you know her?” She assures me she did not start the fire. I checked. I made sure to contact our friends immediately. “What are you burning up there?” I just assumed maybe someone had left biscuits on too long, as you do. Nope. Turns out to be wildfire smoke.

Struggle. We are staggering around with burning eyes, wheezing breath and lumps in our chest. For the record, I am indoorsy. I know you’re shocked. I still struggle to function in this endless haze.

I cannot imagine what it must be like for people who actually have to be outdoors. Athletic types. People who work outdoors. Asthmatic people. They all must be suffering. Meanwhile, I hide indoors and Google to see if they make a N95 mask to fit our goat. Short answer: no.

We are heading into our nation’s independence day holiday. It falls on a Tuesday this year, so this means people will celebrate with fireworks for two whole weekends and a solid week in between. We may not even notice any lingering smoke from our neighbors up north once all the barbecues are fired up and the oftmentioned “rockets red glare” are “bursting in air.”

To be fair, up until recently Canada’s most annoying export was those darned Canada geese. Beautiful, but oh so incredibly messy. They are also total jerks. It’s like all the less than stellar personality traits were given to the geese so that the human citizens of Canada could remain almost unfailingly nice.

I’m still considering Canada one of my besties. One of my core memories of visiting that fine country is my discovery of the joy of poutine. Poutine is a delicious Canadian recipe made with french fries, gravy and cheese. To this I say, sure it’s smoky right now, but we can forgive a lot from people who put gravy on fries.

Pa. broadband funding boosted with extension help

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Pennsylvania will receive nearly $1.2 billion in federal funding to establish or improve high-speed internet service in unserved and underserved areas — an amount that would have been more than $100 million smaller without the work of Penn State Extension, officials said.

The state’s allocation is part of $42.5 billion in broadband funding authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, announced June 26 by President Joe Biden, The Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority late last year contracted with Penn State Extension to develop and update state broadband service availability maps to enable the commonwealth to maximize its federal funding allocation for high-speed internet expansion under the act’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.

Subsequently, Penn State Extension educators developed public broadband spatial analysis and mapping tools and evaluated the accuracy of industry-provided data to inform the state’s process of challenging discrepancies in Federal Communications Commission maps of broadband service availability. This work helped the authority to identify more than 50,000 Pennsylvania service-availability claims that appeared to be incorrectly reported as having access to high-speed internet and to submit challenges to the FCC by the Jan. 13 deadline.

The FCC upheld more than 28,000 of those service-availability challenges, resulting in an estimated $117 million more in Pennsylvania’s share of the federal funding, accord-

ing to James Ladlee, state program leader for Extension’s Emerging and Advanced Technology Initiative.

Ladlee said the average total allocation across all states and U.S. territories was just under $743 million, and that Pennsylvania was the only one of 19 states whose funding allocation topped $1 billion.

Harry Crissy, business and community vitality extension educator, noted that from the time Penn State Extension entered the contract with the Broadband Development Authority until the Jan. 13 deadline for service-availability challenges, there was little time to complete the mapping and analytical work.

“To meet the FCC’s deadline and quickly identify service-availability gaps, our team of about 22 people spent much of December 2022 manually verifying nearly 13,000 random addresses — from every service provider in every county — against data filed with the FCC,” Crissy said. “We then used the potential gaps identified in this first phase of the project to conduct a spatial analysis against the existing FCC and infrastructure claims to identify additional availability challenges. In the end, the authority submitted more than 50,000 total availability challenges based on this work.”

Ladlee said that Extension previously worked in partnership with the state Public Utility Commission on mapping tools that helped the state obtain almost $369 million in broadband funding under a different federal program, which is expected to enable up to 327,000 Pennsylvanians to gain high-speed internet access.

The next big advance in cancer treatment could be a vaccine

SEATTLE (AP) — The next big advance in cancer treatment could be a vaccine.

After decades of limited success, scientists say research has reached a turning point, with many predicting more vaccines will be out in five years. These aren’t traditional vaccines that prevent disease, but shots to shrink tumors and stop cancer from coming back. Targets for these experimental treatments include breast and lung cancer, with gains reported this year for deadly skin cancer melanoma and pancreatic cancer.

“We’re getting something to work. Now we need to get it to work better,” said Dr. James Gulley, who helps lead a center at the National Cancer Institute that develops immune therapies, including cancer treatment vaccines.

How it works. More than ever, scientists understand how cancer hides from the body’s immune system. Cancer vaccines, like other immunotherapies, boost the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. And some new ones use mRNA, which was developed for cancer but first used for COVID-19 vaccines.

For a vaccine to work, it needs to teach the immune system’s T cells to recognize cancer as dangerous, said Dr. Nora Disis of UW Medicine’s Cancer Vaccine Institute in Seattle. Once trained, T cells can travel anywhere in the body to hunt down danger.

“If you saw an activated T cell, it almost has feet,” she said. “You can see it crawling through the blood vessel to get out into the tissues.

Patient volunteers are crucial to the research. Kathleen Jade, 50, learned she had breast cancer in late February, just weeks before she and her husband were to depart Seattle for an aroundthe-world adventure. Instead of sailing their 46-foot boat, Shadowfax, through the Great Lakes toward the St. Lawrence Seaway, she was sitting on a hospital bed awaiting her third dose of an experimental vaccine. She’s getting the vaccine to see if it will shrink her tumor before surgery.

“Even if that chance is a little bit,

I felt like it’s worth it,” said Jade, who is also getting standard treatment.

Challenges. Progress on treatment vaccines has been challenging. The first, Provenge, was approved in the U.S. in 2010 to treat prostate cancer that had spread. It requires processing a patient’s own immune cells in a lab and giving them back through IV. There are also treatment vaccines for early bladder cancer and advanced melanoma.

Early cancer vaccine research faltered as cancer outwitted and outlasted patients’ weak immune systems, said Olja Finn, a vaccine researcher at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

“All of these trials that failed allowed us to learn so much,” Finn said.

As a result, she’s now focused on patients with earlier disease since the experimental vaccines didn’t help with more advanced patients. Her group is planning a vaccine study in women with a low-risk, noninvasive breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ.

More vaccines that prevent cancer may be ahead too. Decades-old hepatitis B vaccines prevent liver cancer and HPV vaccines, introduced in 2006, prevent cervical cancer.

In Philadelphia, Dr. Susan Domchek, director of the Basser Center at Penn Medicine, is recruiting 28 healthy people with BRCA mutations for a vaccine test. Those mutations increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The idea is to kill very early abnormal cells, before they cause problems. She likens it to periodically weeding a garden or erasing a whiteboard.

Others are developing vaccines to prevent cancer in people with precancerous lung nodules and other inherited conditions that raise cancer risk.

“Vaccines are probably the next big thing” in the quest to reduce cancer deaths, said Dr. Steve Lipkin, a medical geneticist at New York’s Weill Cornell Medicine, who is leading one effort funded by the National

Cancer Institute. “We’re dedicating our lives to that.”

Drugmakers Moderna and Merck are jointly developing a personalized mRNA vaccine for patients with melanoma, with a large study to begin this year. The vaccines are customized to each patient, based on the numerous mutations in their cancer tissue. A vaccine personalized in this way can train the immune system to hunt for the cancer’s mutation fingerprint and kill those cells.

But such vaccines will be expensive.

“You basically have to make every vaccine from scratch. If this wasn’t personalized, the vaccine could probably be made for pennies, just like the COVID vaccine,” said Dr. Patrick Ott of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Volunteers. The vaccines under development at UW Medicine are designed to work for many patients, not just a single patient. Tests are underway in early and advanced breast cancer, lung cancer and ovarian cancer. Some results may come as soon as next year.

Todd Pieper, 56, from suburban Seattle, is participating in testing for a vaccine intended to shrink lung cancer tumors. His cancer spread to his brain, but he’s hoping to live long enough to see his daughter graduate from nursing school next year.

“I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, either for me or for other people down the road,” Pieper said of his decision to volunteer.

One of the first to receive the ovarian cancer vaccine in a safety study 11 years ago was Jamie Crase of nearby Mercer Island. Diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer when she was 34, Crase thought she would die young and had made a will that bequeathed a favorite necklace to her best friend. Now 50, she has no sign of cancer and she still wears the necklace.

She doesn’t know for sure if the vaccine helped, “But I’m still here.” (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

Butter prints helped identify maker

caster County, Pennsylvania, in the 19th century.

Antiques & Collecting

By Terry and Kim Kovel

It isn’t easy to recognize this wood piece with a deeply carved design. Unlike today’s familiar decorating stamping tools, it wasn’t pressed into ink and used to print on fabric or paper; it is a butter print.

Nineteenth-century farm families made their own butter, shaped it in molds, and pressed designs into it with handcarved butter stamps or prints. If the butter was sold at a mar-

ket, printed designs would appeal to customers and identify the maker.

Designs with symmetrical, repeating or divided elements may have helped divide the butter into portions. Some butter prints had handles or were attached to a butter mold.

This oval print with a flowerand-heart design and notched border sold for $5,015 at Conestoga Auction Co. It was made in Lan-

Q. In the 1950s or ‘60s, my mother had a Barbie doll that wasn’t like any I have seen since. It had painted brown hair with a painted blue headband, and it came with three wigs: long and dark brown, curly and reddish-brown, and short and blond. I have seen a lot of Barbies at auctions but not one with wigs like this. Is this one rare?

A. Your mother’s doll sounds like the Fashion Queen Barbie doll, introduced in 1963. This doll had a molded head with brown hair and a blue headband and non-bending legs. It was dressed in a one-piece swimsuit with white and gold stripes, a matching turban and white open-toe shoes.

It was sold with three wigs: one blond, one brunette and one titian (the term used for red-brown Barbie hair). It was marked “Midge T. M. [copyright] 1962 Barbie [registered] [copyright] 1958 by Mattel, Inc.” The 1964 edition had “Patented” added to the mark.

Mattel also made Barbie “wig wardrobes” in the 1960s, which were sold with a doll head, not a complete doll. Fashion Queen Barbies without the wigs or box have sold for less than $100 at recent auctions. A doll with all three wigs and the original outfit and box can sell for $100 to $400. • • •

TIP

Put a silver spoon in a glass before pouring in hot water. It will absorb heat and keep the glass from cracking. (For more collecting news, tips and resources, visit Kovels.com. ©2023 King Features Synd., Inc.)

Butter prints like this one pressed a design into freshly made butter as a decoration or for marketing. Today, collectors search for antique butter prints and consider them folk art. (Kovels.com photo)

Identity theft scheme tracked to Ohio

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Public Safety issued a warning about a sophisticated identity theft scheme impacting individuals across the country, including in Ohio.

The scheme, which was first identified in Texas earlier this year, involves the use of stolen personal information to answer online Bureau of Motor Vehicles security questions and gain access to individual BMV accounts. Once inside an individual’s account, identity thieves then request a driver’s license or identification card reprint be mailed to a new address.

Thousands of replacement driver’s licenses were sent to unauthorized parties using stolen personal in-

formation in Texas. In Ohio, the BMV has initiated contact with around 90 Ohioans whose stolen information was used to obtain or attempt to obtain a driver’s license reprint. It is unknown where the criminals obtained the stolen personal information. No State of Ohio systems were breached.

The Ohio BMV has reported the fraud to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and has devoted additional resources to monitor for patterns associated with this criminal activity.

Due to this additional monitoring, it is unlikely that additional fraudulently requested Ohio driver’s licenses will be mailed, however,

if you receive a postcard from the BMV notifying you of online profile changes that you did not request, you should immediately contact the BMV at 844-644-6268. It is also recommended that you file a report with your local law enforcement agency, change answers to your online security questions, and place an initial fraud alert on your credit file. More information on steps to take if your identity is stolen can be accessed via the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. An example of a BMV address change postcard can be found below. Postcards are mailed to customers’ old addresses any time an address change is made.

Do-it-yourself: Use simple patterns for inlaid wood floor

Dear James: I have seen inlaid wood floors in older buildings and would like one in my own home. Can I add decorative inlays to my existing hardwood floors?

— Trish K.

Dear Trish: Decorative inlays in a hardwood floor can enhance the decor of any room. Each one is custom designed and made so the floor will be unique. They are not as common as they used to be, but new manufacturing techniques are reducing the labor needed and bringing the cost down.

It is best to leave this job to a professional unless you are a very experienced do-it-yourselfer and have the proper power tools, but here are some tips. Inlaid wood materials themselves are expensive. You do not want to take a chance of routing a floor improperly and then having the inlays not fit.

In order to control cost, consider just adding a narrow, but ornate, border or a premade medallion. An inlaid border, installed by a professional, typically costs from $20 to $30 per foot. Depending on the type of wood and the complexity of the pattern, it can go even higher.

Instead of totally replacing all your old hardwood floors, you may be able to refinish some of them. If so, you can have an inlaid border installed into the old hardwood floor.

When completed, the entire floor is finished with urethane.

These inlaid border pieces are only about one-quarter inch thick. The existing floor is routed out in the border area. Since some of these decorative woods are in short supply, using thin pieces reduces the amount of exotic wood used.

If you have much more time than money, you can try to stain small sections of the existing hardwood floor to create an inlaid appearance. First, sand and prepare the entire floor for refinishing.

Only partially seal the wood surface so that it will still take some stain. Carefully apply a darker stain to create the pattern that you desire. It should not bleed much since it is partially sealed.

To install inlays in an existing hardwood floor yourself, you will need a good quality router. Templates are also usually used to precisely route the old flooring for the shallow inlays. Always glue the inlays into place in the hardwood floor. Never nail them.

When totally replacing an old hardwood floor with a new one, you can buy lower-cost border patterns that are designed to fit perfectly and easily with standard tongue and groove flooring. These are typically 3/4-inch-thick pieces to match the regular flooring thickness.

Exotic. When more exotic woods are being used, even for new floors, a thinner veneer piece is bonded to a thicker back support piece. This conserves the exotic wood. Some attractive woods are Brazilian cherry, ebony, wenge, bubinga, jatoba, purple heart and mahogany.

For floors that will not be covered with any rugs or for entrances, consider installing a decorative medallion. There are many attractive and ornate designs to choose from. Some hardwood flooring companies will also make a medallion to match a photo or personal design.

Several hardwood flooring manu-

facturers have patterns for you to choose from: Historic Floors of Oshkosh, oshkoshdesigns.com; Kentucky Wood Floors, kentuckyhardwoodflooring.com; Premier Inlays, stairrods.us/inlay; and Rare Earth Hardwoods, rare-earth-hardwoods.com.

Study their catalogs of designs before making your choice. You will be amazed at the variety and attention to detail. Some of the scenes actually look real. This is all accomplished with woods of various natural colors. Care. Care for your new inlaid floor like any other hardwood floor. Vacuum the floor and mop it with a mild solution of water and white vinegar. Do not use cleaning products that leave a film, like oil-based soap products.

Taste of 4-H: Youth can learn about cooking with free summer camp

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Extension invites youth in Pennsylvania to participate in a free, virtual cooking camp this summer. The camp is part of Pennsylvania 4-H’s free trial period, during which youth can experience a sampling of 4-H projects through a series of interactive online activities throughout the summer.

The cooking camp is open to all Pennsylvania children, 5-18; it will take place from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. daily, July 17-21.

During the camp, youth will learn about kitchen skills, food safety and nutrition. Participants will make one recipe each day and gain experience through a food cooking challenge competition. Adult supervision is required, and an accompanying adult will work alongside the youth during

the camp.

Campers should obtain recipe ingredients and cooking equipment prior to camp. Organizers will provide shopping lists at least one week before camp starts. If campers cannot find all the ingredients or equipment, they still are welcome to join and either delete or substitute ingredients.

The registration deadline for the cooking camp is July 9. More information is available on the Penn State Extension website at extension.psu. edu/4-h/ cooking-camp.

Organizers noted that this opportunity allows youth and their families to try the 4-H program for free and determine if joining is the right decision for them. Participation in the trial does not automatically enroll youth in 4-H.

RICHFIELD, Ohio — Friends of Richfield Heritage Preserve is sponsoring an “RHP Architecture: Bring the Outdoors In” hike from 2-4 p.m.

the out of doors. Participants will be able to tour the interior of the homes as well.

EMA announces over $850,000 in reimbursements under program

COLUMBUS — Ohio Emergency Management Agency Executive Director Sima Merick announced third round reimbursements of over $850,000 from the State Disaster Relief Program for areas statewide impacted by severe storms last year.

The SDRP is a reimbursement program that can be used in instances where storm damage amounts do not meet the threshold for federal assistance. The program is intended to provide supplemental state assistance to local governments and eligible non-profit organizations for costs associated with debris removal, emergency protective measures and permanent work.

In November, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine authorized the use of the SDRP to help provide relief to several counties impacted by severe weather in February, May, June and July of 2022.

The SDRP is authorized for counties whose damages meet a countywide per capita indicator. DeWine’s authorization allowing the use of the fund permits the Ohio EMA to request the funding from the Ohio Controlling Board.

Pennsylvania bill would provide ID kits

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Families of first-grade students in Pennsylvania would be supplied with identification kits that could help assist police investigations if the children ever go missing, under a bill passed by the state Senate June 27.

The bill passed 34-15 and now goes on to the state House for consideration.

Under the measure, schools would be required to distribute free kits — which include materials for fingerprinting, DNA collection and more — to first-grade students by Nov. 15 each school year.

The information would not be

included in any state or national database, sponsors said.

The program would start next school year. Funding for the program is dependent on what the Legislature earmarks for it. With about 118,000 first-graders in the state, sponsors estimate it could cost a total of $350,000 annually for the kits.

Parents would be able to complete the kits and store them privately. They could turn them over to help law enforcement if their child were to go missing.

I have come to realize that I never know when a tough parenting moment is about to hit me. It’s not like a summer storm when the winds shift and the leaves on the trees turn up before the worst of the wind and rain hits. Instead, it’s like a tsunami suddenly hitting the shore after a hidden earthquake deep on the ocean floor.

Our plan was to camp next to another family at Mammoth Cave in southern Kentucky. At times, it

seems our kids are closer than cousins from traveling together in the summers throughout their childhood. They seem to enter into their own world when they are together.

Explorers. We had been at the campground a few hours and the kids had quickly explored different areas, looking for places to bike and hike. The two oldest boys in our families are teenagers now and enjoy a certain level of freedom. They drifted off together, aiming to walk the dry creek bed searching for geodes next to the campground.

Their two younger brothers had lots of options available to them but instead chose to follow their older brothers. Like moths to a flame, they wanted to be a part of anything the older boys were doing.

Expecting them to return shortly, we continued playing cards and talking at the campsite. We had traveled across a time zone going to Mammoth Cave. Any sort of time zone change can throw off my ability to gauge time.

Out of touch. Time seemed to fly by before I realized it was getting late even though it was still light outside. The boys should have been back already. It didn’t take my mind long at all to realize the four boys were somewhere in the national park without cell service and no way to get ahold of them.

My biggest fear was that they would somehow get separated or lose one of the younger boys. I also remembered news stories of other people getting lost in parks. I immediately thought of a teenager that was lost for 11 days in the Smoky Mountains after losing his way searching for ginseng.

The two dads went down the same creekbed the boys were exploring. They came back without finding the boys and grabbed two flashlights. I said a prayer and paced around the campground, hoping to see the boys when they returned.

Along with the financial penalty, Messer has agreed to take actions to eliminate ongoing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit violations and prevent future violations. This includes constructing a new treatment system at the facility and conducting enhanced stormwater discharge inspections to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act and parallel West Virginia laws. The facility exceeded permit limits for copper, aluminum, residual chlorine, phenolics and iron.

The penalty will be divided equally between the United States and West Virginia, who are co-plaintiffs in this consent decree. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection assisted EPA in the investigation, litigation and settlement. The facility is bordered by the Ohio River and discharges into the river. The proposed consent decree, filed in the federal district court for the Northern District of West Virginia, is subject to a 30-day public comment period and approval by the federal district court.

A copy of the consent decree with more specifics about the violations is available online at: justice.gov/enrd/ consent-decree/us-et-al-v- messer-llc.

Camping trip tests rope of freedom

It seemed like an eternity to me, but the boys eventually returned to the campsite. They came from the main road, a completely different

direction from where they left in the creekbed. They were all a little dirty like they had fallen once or twice. My youngest son was sopping wet, from his head to his toes. They

were also laughing and smiling like they didn’t have a care in the world.

I felt like the mad emoji face, my face was red and hot. I was about to lose my cool. Instead, I told the boys

not to leave the campsite and went to find the two dads.

I didn’t have many options when it came to communicating with my husband and his friend. We didn’t have phones or walkie-talkies.

I used all my pent-up anger from dealing with the boys and yelled. My loud banshee cry was heard clear across the ravine, probably for miles.

We always use an analogy of a rope of freedom with our kids. If they make good choices, that rope is long with lots of freedom. A few bad choices mean the rope is shortened, and their options are limited.

Not only did they venture off a main trail, but they also lost track of time. I was relieved to hear that they stayed together, but I’m pretty sure there were “dares” involved with the younger boys.

Trail in question. Just because we were on vacation didn’t mean it was a break in parenting. The next day, we had them show us where they had gone. They claimed it was a trail; they were proven wrong.

The creekbed the boys followed at first turned out to be a feature of karst topography. The dissolution of

soluble rocks like limestone creates landforms like springs, caves and sinkholes.

The dry creek bed led us to the sinkhole directly above the waterfall in the cave. Clear, aquamarine water flowed in a nearby stream. When sunlight interacts with the mineral content in the water, a striking blue color is seen.

From the sinkhole, we were able to access an actual trail with signs and explanations for the topography we were experiencing. The trail led down to the Green River and right past the Echo River Spring. The spring is where Echo River, an underground river in the caves, reaches the surface.

The longer we hiked with the kids, our anger dissipated. Abundant grace turned our frustration into an opportunity for growth and maturity. A very short rope of freedom tethered our boys close by for the remainder of the trip.

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

The soldier

While sitting in the airport, I glanced up to look around. That’s when I saw him take a seat. A GI duty-bound.

The soldier sat there almost catatonic in his chair. He did not say a word. His eyes were fixed hard in a stare.

His black hair trimmed back short; the uniform was neatly pressed. He looked sharper than a preacher all decked out in Sunday best.

So, I mustered up the courage, then I offered my handshake. The soldier gripped my hand. For sure this man was no cupcake.

I thanked him for his service, his defense of liberty.

He said, “Our country needs good men. It might as well be me.”

He said his aged grandpa, who had just turned ninety-five, had flown a plane in World War II, barely made it home alive.

His grandpa was his mentor. I’d say hero says it best.

The young man now turned soldier standing out from all the rest.

He said each time he left his home his heart would break to bits. Then told me he had two more years before he’d call it quits.

So, I asked him ‘bout his family. Has a wife and two young sons. He said his boys think Daddy is away out shooting guns.

When a lady with the microphone then called the soldier’s name. He said, “I better get on board.” He thanked me just the same.

He rose up from his chair. We stood there looking face to face.

That day I’d met a soldier who deserved our God’s pure grace.

I watched him board the airplane. Nearly took my breath away, just knowing that this selfless man represents the USA.

What kind of man will risk his life to keep us safe and free, who doesn’t flaunt his good deeds or claim celebrity.

Our soldiers, men or women, sure could use a prayer or two.

If you haven’t bent a knee then for the soldier, try bending two.

For those who’ve served our country and to soldiers who were slain.

Let’s not forget our veterans. They did not serve in vain!

Know the risks from ticks this summer

HERSHEY, Pa. — Dr. David Ingram’s young children love to play outdoors, so he’s become the tick police, vigilantly checking for any parasitic arthropod crawling on them. He’s no novice to the role. Ingram is an infectious diseases physician and researcher at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center who’s keenly focused on tick-borne illnesses. He shares his insights about what every Pennsylvanian should know about the health risks from ticks, in particular the blacklegged tick.

Q: What types of ticks are most problematic in Pennsylvania?

Ingram: There are more than two dozen tick species in the Keystone State, including the Lone Star Tick and the American Dog Tick. Those two can carry the bacterium that causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever — a serious illness that thankfully is rare here. The tick that causes the most illness in Pennsylvania is ixodes scapularis, also known as the blacklegged tick or the deer tick. It’s responsible for Lyme disease and may also carry another bacterium that causes an illness called anaplasmosis as well as a parasite that causes another disease — babesiosis. Those three illnesses — Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and babesiosis — are what Ingram sees most frequently in his clinical practice.

Q: What tick-borne illness symptoms should we be aware of?

Ingram: Some of the symptoms are the same, regardless of the specific illness: fever, body aches and fatigue. Lyme disease symptoms also may include the classic bullseye rash. But you may instead have a solid red rash, multiple skin lesions or in some cases, no rash at all.

With other tick-borne diseases like anaplasmosis or babesiosis, you’re less likely to develop a rash.

Some patients with anaplasmosis have gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and decreased appetite. These symptoms seem to be more frequently seen in anaplasmosis compared to babesiosis or Lyme.

Q: When should someone seek medical attention?

Ingram: The blacklegged tick must attach itself to you for about 24 to 48 hours before the harmful bacterium for Lyme disease is transmitted. For anaplasmosis, it’s around 24 to 36 hours, and for babesiosis, it’s about 48 to 72 hours.

If you know that you’ve had a blacklegged tick on you for 36 hours or longer, the Infectious Disease Society of America advises that you can see your doctor for a single dose of

oral doxycycline to prevent Lyme disease. The medication would need to be taken within 72 hours of finding and removing the tick. Whether or not you end up going that route, after removing a tick, you should closely monitor the area for any rash and keep an eye out for other symptoms.

Especially here in Pennsylvania, where all of these tick-borne diseases are frequently encountered, if you have a nonspecific fever during the summer and have frequent outdoor activity, you should see your doctor, even if you never saw a tick on you. Blacklegged tick bites are often painless. Tick nymphs — the primary stage of the tick when it bites us — are the size of a poppy seed. The adult ticks aren’t much bigger. It’s easy not to know one was ever on you.

Q: How do you diagnose and treat tick-borne illnesses?

Ingram: Doctors take a detailed medical history including questions regarding travel and outdoor activity, conduct a physical exam and order blood tests to diagnose Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and babesiosis. The parasite that causes babesiosis infects red blood cells. It is most frequently diagnosed by looking at red blood cells under a microscope to identify the presence of the parasite.

The course of treatment for most tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, is the antibiotic doxycycline, which is usually administered for 10 days. Because babesiosis is a parasitic infection, its treatment is different. Doctors prescribe atovaquone and azithromycin.

A patient can develop multiple tickborne illnesses from one tick, so if they’re diagnosed with Lyme disease and are not improving as expected on doxycycline, then doctors should consider co-infection with babesiosis.

Q: What can we do to protect ourselves?

Ingram: Wear light-colored clothes so it’s easier to spot ticks. Especially if you’re hiking in tall grass or in the woods, limit the amount of exposed skin you have. Tuck your long-sleeved shirts into your pants, and tuck your pants into your socks. Use an insect repellent containing DEET. You can also spray your clothes with the insecticide permethrin.

Once you’re back inside, shower as soon as possible after carefully checking yourself for ticks. Look carefully around your ears, under your arms, around your waist and behind your knees — places people sometimes miss when doing tick checks.

If you see a tick on your clothes, wash the clothes in hot water and dry on a high-heat setting. You can even skip the washing machine if you want — just toss them in the dryer on high for 10 minutes.

Q: We’ve found a tick on our body. Now what?

Ingram: First, don’t remove it with your bare hands, because you’ll risk squeezing it, possibly causing the tick to regurgitate its stomach contents back into your body. Instead, use a pair of tweezers to gently grab the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull it straight out. Then clean the area with soap and water or an antiseptic.

And absolutely don’t use a match or jelly to remove a tick. Those are old myths that in realty will cause the tick to latch on tighter and release additional toxins into the wound.

Husted announces electric vehicle workforce strategy

YOUNGSTOWN — Ohio Lt.

Gov. Jon Husted, director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, announced Ohio’s Electric Vehicle Workforce Strategy.

The strategy was developed in collaboration with industry partners, employers, education and training organizations and community partners across Ohio to identify, and find solutions for, workforce gaps in the industry.

Husted announced the strategy at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center in the Youngstown area. MCCTC currently has a waitlist for incoming students and has been an early adopter of career technical programs related to the EV industry.

As part of the strategy, OWT, OMA and other industry stakeholders provided a current snapshot of the EV sector and outlined a plan for filling the workforce gap in the industry, including an opportunity to bolster workforce efforts across industries with shared foundational competencies, such as semiconductors.

The strategy outlines a pathway for increasing career awareness, broadening the talent pool and establishing and scaling education and training programs around the state.

To read the full strategy, visit Workforce.Ohio.gov/EV.

FINANCING OPTIONS

Farm

SELL SMART.

BEWARE OF POTENTIAL BUYING SCAMS

Here are 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.
