Ohio and Pennsylvania are in drought

By Rachel Wagoner rachel@farmanddairy.com

It’s going to take more than a few days of rain to pull the region out of its unusually dry start to the growing season.

Much of Ohio and Pennsylvania were officially designated as being in a drought last week.

According to the June 8 U.S. Drought Monitor update, 62% of Ohio and 65% of Pennsylvania are experiencing moderate drought conditions. The rest of both states are considered to be abnormally dry.

A large swath of Ohio, from southwest to northeast, got between 1 and 2 inches of rain over the weekend, said Geddy Davis, a meteorologist and atmospheric scientist at Ohio State University’s Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, which brought farmers some immediate relief from the dust.

More stormy weather is in the forecast over the coming week, but Davis said folks should temper their enthusiasm. We’re not out of the woods, yet.

“This rain helps. It absolutely helps,” Davis said. “We’ll probably see a green up here in a day or two, but if we don’t get that consistency, it’s easy to fall back into that

drought pattern.”

Numbers. Davis said many parts of Ohio are running anywhere from 1.5 to 3 inches below normal for rainfall for May.

Youngstown had 1.3 inches of rain in May, a 2.42 inch departure from normal. Dayton got 1.89 inches of rain last month, 2.6 inches below normal. Wooster got 1.6 inches of rainfall, 2.3 inches below normal.

Though it’s dried up recently, Ohio overall is about average for precipitation for the year, Davis said. January was quite wet and the rest of the months had average amounts of precipitation until May. In fact, the state is slightly above normal for precipitation for the year so far, according to the National Integrated Drought Information System, or NIDIS.

In Pennsylvania, recent conditions are about the same, according to June 12 U.S. Department of Agriculture Crop Progress report. In the past month, most areas are at about 3 inches below normal on rainfall.

This was the fifth driest May on record in Pennsylvania, with about 1.7 inches of precipitation for the state. That’s a 2.23 inch departure from normal.

It’s also been one of the drier starts to a year in recorded weather history. This is the

12th driest January to May period since 1895. The state is about 3 inches below normal for precipitation for the year, according to the NIDIS.

Crops. While the dry spell has been good for getting hay put up and getting corn and beans planted, crop conditions are beginning to suffer.

About 51% of corn and soybeans in Ohio were in good condition, according to the latest USDA Crop Program report. About 39% of corn was fair and 40% of soybeans were in fair condition. Topsoil moisture was 42% short and 35% very short.

In Pennsylvania, only 20% of corn and 23% of soybeans were in good condition. About 67% of corn was considered to be in fair condition and 9% was in poor condition. For soybeans, about 55% was in fair condition and 16% in poor condition. Topsoil moisture supplies were 48% very short and 42% short.

Why is it so dry. Davis said for the last month or so, the weather has been “in a very stale pattern.”

The region has been stuck under a high pressure ridge and a low pressure system.

“We’ve been trapped in this limbo of a

Intel summer internship for women, minorities begins

WILBERFORCE, Ohio — The

Central State University John W. Garland College of Engineering, Science, Technology and Agriculture welcomed 20 students to the CSU led Intel Summer Internship for Women and Underrepresented Minorities being held at the Wright State University Campus through July 28. This eight-week, intensive internship aims to prepare students with skills and understanding of electronic hardware design, fabrication, and security.

The program, sponsored by Intel, is designed to train students for future jobs in Intel’s upcoming Ohio chip factory, projected to be operational in 2025. The curriculum includes five courses that involve daily lectures and extensive hands-on lab practice. After a rigorous application process, from an extremely competitive pool of applicants, 20 promising students were selected from Central State University, Wright State University, Stark State College, Sinclair Community College and local high schools.

According to Dr. Hadizadeh, the internship is made possible through

the generous support of Intel, and in addition to the training, allows students to receive housing, a stipend and opportunities for scholarships.

Ajayi-Majebi noted the considerable interest received from female and underrepresented student communities across various Ohio institutes. “This encouraging response is a strong indicator of the potential for future expansion in Semiconductor Education and Research at CSU and for skilled-workforce development in Ohio,” he said.

Khan further stated that the internship program demonstrates the commitment of CSU and Intel toward achieving diversity in skilled workforce development in the semiconductor domain. “As we embark on the Intel-Sponsored Summer Internship, we look forward to the innovative and impactful contributions these interns, who choose to pursue a career with Intel, will bring to the semiconductor industry.”

New university study discovers human interaction may reduce calves’ stress

By Stella Canfield

GAINESVILLE, Florida — In a new study published in the journal “JDS Communications,” scientists at the University of Florida have discovered that human interaction with calves helps to reduce abnormal oral behaviors and increase rest during early life.

As part of an ongoing effort to enhance dairy cows’ lifelong welfare, this research is related to a previous study looking at how housing young calves in pairs and larger social groups may allow them to develop better social skills and produce more milk as a cow later in life.

Building off these aims, this latest study sought to learn whether human contact provided additional complexities and enrichment in dairy calves’ environment during weaning. The weaning period is a stage in which calves’ milk intake is decreased to encourage them to start eating more solid foods like grain and hay. However, for most calves, the weaning period is very stressful as they’re limited in their milk consumption. As

a result, many calves start to exhibit abnormal oral behaviors like sucking on pen fixtures or other calves.

Researchers have discovered that human interaction helps to reduce abnormal oral behaviors and increase rest in calves during the weaning period. In the experiment, researchers wanted to know if human contact provided additional complexity and enrichment in dairy calves’ environment. This study is part of an ongoing effort to enhance dairy cows’ lifelong welfare.

“Calves are naturally motivated to suck because it’s how they consume their milk. However, calves can start doing this a lot if their environment is restrictive or if they’re hungry and stressed. When this happens, we call that behavior abnormal,” said Emily Miller-Cushon, lead investigator of the study and an associate professor in the UF/IFAS department of animal sciences.

In the study, 14 individual calves and 14 pairs of calves were followed for the first eight weeks of life until the weaning period began. Once weaning started, a human would enter the pen and spend five minutes scratching the

calf on certain days following feeding. After six months of data collection, the study found individually housed calves performed more abnormal oral behavior than pair housed calves, but human contact reduced it.

The results also showed that, regardless of whether the calves were housed individually or in pairs, human presence increased the amount of time calves laid down after feeding suggesting a calming effect.

“It could be some effect of scratching and tactile stimulation, or it could just be the novelty and interest the calf had,” said Miller-Cushon. “But either way, having a human in the pen redirected calves from some of these abnormal oral behaviors.”

With this knowledge, researchers can better understand the role human interaction plays in calves’ overall well-being. “These findings indicate that more complex environments and calf stimulation are beneficial when it comes to reducing abnormal behaviors and enhancing their lifelong welfare, including their health, performance, emotional state and socialization,” Miller-Cushon explained.

This week (or was it last week?) marks an anniversary for this reporting effort: 30 years ago the first Farm and Food File appeared in three central Illinois newspapers. One of those brave beginners, the Bloomington Pantagraph, continues to publish it weekly.

Thirty years of anything seems like it should be a big deal and yet, on the farm, 30 years is often viewed as just a good start.

My father, after all, farmed for 45 years and his Uncle Honey, who “helped out” on our farm — and occasionally set parts of it ablaze — worked 50 years as, first, a milkman and, later, an absent-minded tractor driver with matches. A Nebraska farmer friend just planted either his 74th or 75th crop.

In truth, the key number in my line of work is making deadline. So far, I’m shooting par on a tough course: In three decades of weekly freelance columning, I’m 1,560 out of 1,560.

Come to think of it, “He made this deadline, too” might be a good epitaph for my final edition on this good earth.

Unplanned. Like many of life’s pleasant curveballs, this writing life was unplanned. In college I was on a slow train — think milk-run slow — for a degree in farm management when an out-of-patience dean handed me a one-way ticket back to the farm.

“Come see me when you’re serious about being here,” he announced, “and good luck.” He spared me his more embarrassing assessment: And good riddance.

Two years later (I mentioned slow, right?), he readmitted me as a married, 23-year-old, mid-year junior. His only condition, however, was a big one: “To stay, I will need to

Great grades meant writing, a part-time gig I played in my previous stay at the Big U for dorm buddies who couldn’t tell a verb from a Volkswagen. Many happily paid a modest retainer, usually in brewed refreshments, for me to show them the difference.

The return to writing was destiny. Sixteen weeks and four credit hours of A later, the dean wore an optimistic smile and I glimpsed a path to fulfilling work. Eighteen months after that I had a degree, a job in ag journalism and little idea of how it all happened.

That was 40 years and more than a million words ago. The early years of story chasing — first at Pro Farmer, next at Successful Farming and, later, eight years as a free-lance contributing editor at Farm Journal — built contacts and confidence.

Uncertainty. What it didn’t build was certainty. Freelance anything — writing, plumbing, fishing, farming — is a roller coaster: when you work, you work like a fool and when you don’t, you worry like a fool that you’ll never work again.

That reality hit hard in early 1993 when the boss at Farm Journal, a magazine that had bought every sentence I had typed for almost a decade, telephoned to fire me. His reason was inarguable; “You can’t walk down the middle of the road anymore,” he said.

True, nor did I want to because most of agriculture’s milk-and-honey middle was being hogged by aggressive corporate newcomers and integrators aiming to dominate livestock, meatpacking, machinery and crop biotechnology.

Left to compete on the potholefilled edges were thousands of smalland middle-sized farmers, ranchers and rural communities struggling to

just survive in their now-unrecognizable, increasingly commoditized world.

The swift changes brought story after story that most ag magazines didn’t want to publish because their readerships were rapidly changing, too, and the publishers, like their readers, were struggling to understand Big Ag’s growing presence and already outsized influence in both the marketplace and government.

So most just favored stories that favored their now ever-fewer, evermore influential advertisers over their ever-disappearing readers.

That role reversal, fueled by the rapid rise of the internet, however, made space for others to take up the challenge, and there I was with time, an empty bank account, two growing children and the lovely Catherine to encourage me.

Then you took over and here we are, 1,561 weeks down the road. Give or take a week that is. Thank you.

Take the time to reach out to others

“Try to understand men. If you understand each other, you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate, and almost always leads to love.”

Get Social With Us!

I have long thought that this world, often run by misdeeds and greed, could be a much better place if only there was an understanding of what breeds malcontent in its earliest germination process.

My brothers-in-law, one a sheriff and the other his deputy, served for many years in Huron County, Ohio. Twins, ornery souls who loved playing pranks by trading places in some of the silliest stories, had learned from early childhood that there is great levity in laughter. Even in the toughest, most dire circumstances, we touch our inner child through shared impish behavior.

Read It Again

90 years ago this week. Newspaper reports say that Gallia County farmers are planning to rout the depression by increasing tobacco acreage. This season’s planting is expected to produce 4 million pounds, as against 3 million last year, it is said.

50 years ago this week. Samuel Alan Hamilton, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Hamilton of Carrollton, Ohio, was admitted to Timken Mercy Hospital following a tractor mishap at his home.

25 years ago this week. Family and friends pulled together to help fill silo at the farm of William VanPelt, Friday, June 5, days after the 35-yearold Columbiana man was killed in a May 23 farming accident.

Both twins knew that fear can come from seeing uniformed officers come to your door, especially for young children who stand innocent

in all the behaviors that led to their arrival. Bob was the soft-touch, and in all domestic disputes, he searched for the children, entertained them with stuffed animals or whatever magic he could pull from his heart, while a second officer sorted out the adult disputes out of earshot.

Upon Bob’s death, one of those youngsters, now a grown woman, wrote the sweetest letter to commend him. All those years later, now living several states away, she took the time to share with us how much his kindness helped to shape that frightening night and, consequently, the days and months to come.

“He took what had clearly been the most frightening night of my life and erased a whole lot of the fear simply by caring about a scared little girl. He cared enough to carry me around, sing silly songs and give me a stuffed animal he seemed to pull from thin air,” she wrote.

Both of these good men are now gone. The rest of us try to honor their memory by attempting to follow their lead, and in most instances

SENECAVILLE, Ohio — Scott Hill, 58, of Senecaville, passed away unexpectedly May 26, 2023. He was born March 23, 1965, in Cambridge, Ohio, son of the late Wilford and Judy (Lucas) Hill.

A 1983 graduate of Meadowbrook High School, he was actively involved in FFA for four years, a 12-year member of the Seneca Doers 4-H Club and a member of the Meadowbrook High School Young Farmer’s Alumni Association. After his graduation from high school, Scott attended Washington Technical Institute for diesel mechanics.

Scott was a lifelong farmer, where he worked the family farm with his

EAST ROCHESTER, Ohio — H.

Leroy Sanor, 81, of East Rochester, died Sunday, March 12, 2023, in Aultman Hospital.

He was born July 28, 1941, in East Rochester to Herbert H. and Ethel R. (Bandy) Sanor. He retired from PCC Airfoils in Minerva where he had worked for 44 1/2 years, was a member of the P’NA Sportsman’s Club and the West Township Ruritans. He was also a member and former deacon of the New Alexander Christian Church.

As he helped his father on the family farm during his childhood, Leroy gained a passion for farming and the art of being self-sufficient. This passion shows through in the hobby farm he had been building since his thirties. He was never afraid to show others how proud he was of his gardens or to give advice in regards to achieving a better harvest. While raising many animals and growing numerous crops throughout his time, he held a passion for anything

relating the two. His cows never failed to amuse him come feeding time, as he made an effort to watch them run in excitement to the hay feeder each day.

Additionally, he and his wife, Darlene, frequently traveled to Amish Country to spend the day sight-seeing, shopping, and simply enjoying their time together. A part of his weekly schedule consisted of going to the Damascus Livestock Auction on Tuesdays to meet up with old friends and find worthwhile deals. Most importantly of all, he made a constant effort to help and/ or give to others in need, whether it be friends, family or neighbors, in any way possible. Leroy’s hobbies and interests inspired many to live a more passionate and fulfilling life.

the 4-H Advisory Extension Board, a member of the Noble County Cattleman’s Association, and a pastpresident of the Guernsey County Cattleman’s Association, and a director of the Heritage Co-Op for many years.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Curtis and Vivian Hill and his maternal grandparents, Lewis and Helen Lucas.

Scott is survived by his wife of 31 years, Tammy (Birney) Hill, whom he married June 22, 1991.

Marlin Clark: Wild ride on the corn train

By Marlin Clark

Traders, commercials, specula-

tors and farmers have all had a wild ride on the corn train over the last 10 days. Prices were down 50 cents at

MIDEAST MARKETING AREA

one point last week.

We have seen a range of 72 1/2 cents in July corn futures in a little more than three weeks. The low was May 19 at $5.51 1/4. The high came June 12, at $6.23 3/4. For perspective, that would have been the range for a year when I was first in this business!

We actually came screaming back at the end of the week to finish only down three and three quarters cents for the week. As this was being written June 12, we came back an additional 19 cents on the July futures and almost 19 on the new crop December contract.

During the evening session June 12, the July futures were down three cents and the December were down two and a half.

We have actually had fundamental news to make price changes, but the fundamentals are both bearish and bullish. The market is trading the bullish, because that is about the drought that is spreading in the Midwest, and traders love to trade the fear of poor crops.

The negatives were in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s WASDE report that showed poor exports and increases in carryout estimates. USDA now expects U.S. ending stocks to increase slightly from 1.417 billion bushels to 1.452 billion for the crop year ending 2023. They estimate the following year, our new crop, to increase, from 297.6 billion to 297.4 billion. Not much change, but in the wrong direction.

They increased the estimate of the new crop world carryout from 297.6 MMT to 297.4. The new crop carryout for the world went from 312.9 to 314.0 MMT.

Dry conditions. The perceived drought and the resultant crop conditions were driving the markets June 12 and will until we get widespread rain. In Ohio, we got good coverage June 11, with additional showers expected for June 12 and 13.

Generally we should get one to one and a half inches, which will salvage us from further damage after three weeks with no rain, unusual for Ohio this time of year. Most farmers report that the crops were planted in good conditions and have not shown severe stress, but the drought has to hurt.

normally don’t worry about soybeans until late July and August, but with a poor start we will never have a great crop.

So, the market will be driven by weather, no matter that USDA says we will increase carryout. Much of the increase is because our corn exports are lagging expectations, so we may have more left over. The last eight weeks of exports have been strong and over a million bushels a week, but we look to be short of the year’s projection.

CASH PRICES - Grains and Feeds

Grain bids

Grain market report note: Prices listed by grain elevators are bids for what the elevator will pay to buy your grain that day. It is not a retail selling price. All prices are per bushel as of close June 12.

On our conference call this week, the common comment was continued drought, with spotty rains of a few tenths. Officially, USDA says that the drought area has gone from 34% of the significant production areas for corn to 45%.

I had reported that I heard Nebraska pivots were working early, and that the areas the pivots missed (imagine a circle of irrigation in a square field) were in bad shape. The morning of June 13, I was told that the areas the pivots missed in Central Nebraska were dead.

It is early to be talking about large decreases in yield from current conditions. It is not too early to fret about the dry conditions, especially farther west. In Ohio, we normally get the rain we need.

The main Corn Belt is always shy rain and needs the soil to be full before the season starts and timely rains after that. We had areas of deep snow cover late in the north, but there has been little rain in those areas since the snow melt, so they are now dry.

In some areas, the soybeans are off to a poor start from being planted in the dry and still being dry. We

Soybeans and wheat. Soybean exports have been firm, but we are doing better on new crop sales than old. The soybean traders are watching the South American harvest, that is lagging in Argentina at 87% complete. The crop there is half of normal, but the Brazilian crop, as we have been saying, is a record that more than makes up for it.

This is the time of year that we normally don’t sell to China, and our current sales are to places like Germany, even though China is still our largest customer on a yearly basis.

Chicago led the wheat markets higher, gaining almost 12 cents last week. We were up three and a half cents during the day June 12, then down two and a quarter at night. We were trading July futures at $6.31 1/2.

Wheat news is focusing on the poor bread crop and the continued great cookie crop. Foreign news is about the Ukraine crop hurting as much as 20% of yield from hot and dry weather, although I wonder how the Ukrainian farmer gets anything done.

Pennsylvania State Extension launches lanternfly survey

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Extension Grape and Wine Team is calling on farmers and vineyard owners in the midAtlantic region to participate in a survey aimed at tracking the spread and severity of spotted lanternfly populations during the 2023 season.

The data collected will provide insights into the distribution pat-

terns of both nymph and adult spotted lanternfly within and outside vineyards, enabling growers and researchers to better understand this invasive pest’s potential impact on mid-Atlantic agriculture.

The survey, which takes approximately one minute to complete, will help monitor frequent changes in the spotted lanternfly population throughout the season. Participants are encouraged to take the survey biweekly and provide their zip code, showing the spread of spotted lanternfly on a shared map.

Results will be displayed automatically on an online map of the eastern U.S. To participate, growers can fill out the tracking survey online at survey123.arcgis.com/sha re/89db89977fbb4404b9bc360898a cf890. More information is available by contacting the Penn State Grape and Wine Team at viticulture@psu. edu.

Ohio and Pennsylvania are in drought

weather pattern between high pressure and low pressure, and it’s shut off passing weather systems,” he said.

The few weather systems that have passed through during this time have been starved of moisture, meaning not enough to produce meaningful rainfall.

When things get dry, it can become like a negative feedback loop. A lingering dry air mass increases evaporative demand, Davis. In lay terms, that means “how thirsty the atmosphere is,” he said. A high evaporation demand will start pulling moisture from wherever it can, out of the ground, out of vegetation.

Climate. There are also some bigger climate forces at play. The country is entering an El Nino period, a natural sort of climate variability marked by warmer temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. Winters tend to be more dry during El Nino periods.

The country is transitioning out

of a La Nina phase, which is characterized by a cooler than average equatorial Pacific temperature.

There’s also anthropogenic climate change, or the kind caused by human activity, which could be contributing to the rapid onset of this drought period, Davis said.

Anthropogenic climate change leads to warmer overall temperatures and an increased capacity for water vapor in the atmosphere. An atmosphere thirsting for more moisture will find it somewhere.

Outlook. What the region needs now is consistent, widespread rainfall. Whether that will happen remains to be seen. Without it, the drought is likely here to stay. Several days of rain won’t make up for weeks without, particularly with the compounding effects of dry weather.

Davis said the key now is to observe what is happening in your fields. Rainfall is highly localized. One place may get enough while another down the road may not.

“Keep an eye on your fields,” he said. “Keep an eye on your weather.” (Reporter Rachel Wagoner can be reached at 724-201-1544 or rachel@farmanddairy. com.)

USDA gives grants, loans for broadband

WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced $714 million in grants and loans to connect thousands of rural residents, farmers and business owners in 19 states to reliable, affordable high-speed internet. Connecting all communities across the United States to high-speed internet is a central part of President Joe Biden’s Investing in America agenda to rebuild our economy from the bottom up and middle out by rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure, which is driving over $470 billion in private sector manufacturing investments and creating good-paying jobs.

Under the president’s Investing in America agenda, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes $65 billion to connect everyone to highspeed internet through the Internet for All initiative. USDA is connecting more people to high-speed internet in this fourth funding round of the ReConnect Program. Since the be-

Consider bioswales for stormwater management

By Adrienne Bock

Stormwater, or the flow of water after a precipitation event, travels across the ground. During its travels, it may pick up pollutants ranging from fertilizers and pesticides, pet waste, auto fluids and trash. Without proper management, stormwater eventually reaches our waterways, carrying pollutants with it.

Bioswales are landscape features that manage stormwater, and add beauty and diversity to your property with native plants. They are long, shallow channels that are gently tapered inward toward the center of the channel.

The channel of the bioswale is filled with soil mixed with sand and compost and planted with native species. The goal of a bioswale is to infiltrate stormwater into the ground, filtering out any pollutants it may carry. Any stormwater that is not infiltrated can be directed to a specific location, such as ponds, rain gardens or storm sewers.

Bioswales are different from traditional swales due to their amended soil and use of native plants to increase stormwater infiltration and are an effective stormwater management tool.

Impervious surfaces. The pollutants that stormwater typically pick up around your home are often found on or built up on impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces are surfaces that do not allow water to pass through, such as driveways, sidewalks and roofs.

Driveways can harbor oil and other auto fluids, sidewalks are seasonally coated in salt and our roofs can harbor bacteria from bird droppings and heavy metals from various airborne sources.

As the stormwater flows across

these surfaces, it picks up pollutants as it moves toward storm drains or directly to our waterways. Storm drains empty directly into our waterways as well, so any pollutants that are carried end up in our local bodies of water, negatively impacting water quality and aquatic habitats.

The best way to combat stormwater pollution is by carefully managing stormwater and increasing permeable surfaces that allow water to pass through. Permeable surfaces include lawns, rain gardens and bioswales.

Bioswales can be installed in a variety of situations to increase permeability, such as along a property line, in a neighborhood lining a street or between roadways or parking lots.

Amended soils. With the amended soils and native plants, bioswales increase permeability allowing stormwater to easily infiltrate through the soil profile. Soils in bioswales need amendments in order to increase the permeability. Soils vary widely, while some sandier soils allow water to percolate quickly, clay-based soils can retain water for some time. Amending the soil ensures that stormwater is able to easily percolate.

Use Web Soil Survey (websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/) to check the soil type on your property to ensure you are amending it correctly. Compost and sand can be used to increase pore size within the soil and create variation in soil particle size.

The large pore size between the various sized soil particles increases the infiltration ability of the stormwater. The faster and more effectively the storm water is able to percolate, the less likely it is to carry pollutants to our waterways.

Native plants. Native plants are an essential component of bioswales and provide benefits for stormwater and native wildlife. Their deep and

The Dirt on Conservation

healthy roots break up the soil, making it easier for water to infiltrate into the ground. The plants take up water and transpire it into the atmosphere, further reducing the possibility of storm water runoff.

Native plants also provide habitat for many native species of animals and insects, adding diversity to your backyard food web. Some great examples of native plants that can be used in bioswales include New England Aster, Swamp Milkweed and Blue Flag Iris. There are many native, water-loving plants to choose from that can accent any landscape while enhancing your backyard habitat.

Implementing a bioswale improves stormwater management on your property, and for your community as well. Both urban and rural communities can benefit from bioswales and their storm water benefits.

If you would like more information about installing a bioswale, contact your local soil and water conservation district.

How best to connect with dad

By David L. Marrison

Soon we will pause to celebrate our fathers. The nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910, in the state of Washington. The idea for this day is credited to Sonora Smart Dodd whose father, a Civil War veteran, raised her and her siblings after their mother died in childbirth. Father’s Day became a national holiday in 1972 when President Nixon signed legislation designating the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day.

Father’s Day sometimes gets lost in the shuffle between Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day. The National Retail Federation reports that $20 billion is typically spent on this holiday which pales in comparison to the $35 billion spent for Mother’s Day.

But does dad really need another World’s Best Dad mug, a tie or another tool? Maybe there is something better and more meaningful you can give your farming father. Recently, I saw the results of a survey conducted by One Poll in 2019. This study reported the top gift desired on Father’s Day was a simple phone call. Additionally, the survey found that nearly 75% prefer an experience over a physical gift.

Each one of us is wired differently when it comes to how we show and how we like to receive love and appreciation. Dr. Gary Chapman wrote the book titled “Five Love Languages” which examines the five love languages which are: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service and physical touch.

So, how can you best show your love and appreciation to your father, grandfather or other influential male this Father’s Day? If you do not know the love language of your father, I would encourage you to explore Dr. Chapman’s website at https://5lovelanguages.com/ where each of you can take a quick quiz to learn your preferred style. Let’s take a quick look at the five love languages.

Quality time. My dad’s primary love language was quality time. My dad enjoyed unrushed conversations. I know his love tank was refilled each day by spending a long lunch hour (or two) just talking to my mom. He knew no stranger and spent countless hours talking to every ag salesman, milk truck driver or relative which would stop in at the farm. To show love through quality time on the farm, think about things which you can do with your father.

Maybe it’s riding together in the combine, checking fence together or just stopping in for a cup of coffee.

Acts of service. This was my dad’s secondary love language. His acts of service shone through his volunteerism on the school board and with the Country Neighbor Program. On the farm, acts of service can be shown through doing things which lighten their load and expecting nothing in return. Actions speak louder than words. This could mean running into town to grab a part so they don’t have to stop in the middle

of a project. Or it could mean surprising them with their favorite meal during planting season.

Words of affirmation. This is my top love language. In my experience, many farmers struggle to express their love through verbal expression.

Words matter greatly to those who have this love language. This could include saying thank you, I love you, you did a great job, I couldn’t do this with our you or I am proud of you.

Written words can be just as meaningful, such as penning a letter about how much they mean to you.

Physical touch. This love language can be demonstrated through a simple handshake, a touch on the shoulder or, if you are like me, through an actual hug. For others this may be a high five or fist bump. Or it could be as simple as putting your arm around them in church.

Gifts. Persons with this love language give extremely thoughtful gifts and are appreciative when someone puts effort into finding the right gift for them. However, gift giving does not have to cost money. It could mean picking wildflowers from the fence row or creating a homemade gift.

I encourage you to read Dr. Chapman’s book and to take time to explore the love languages and how

Eliza Blue: Bring me your babies

By Eliza Blue

I think you might learn everything you need to know about my tendency to overextend myself if you know that last week I took my kids camping and brought along a puppy and a week-old kitten who needed to be bottle fed around the clock.

I love camping, but taking a camping trip with two young children when it doesn’t get dark until after 9 p.m., and starts getting light at 4:30 a.m. is not a recipe for good rest. Add in a wild puppy and a needy kitten and you’ve just made yourself a giant bowl of sleep-deprivation salad.

Sleep-deprivation salad? Only a severely sleep-deprived person would think of a metaphor that bizarre, but here we are. Apparently two nights back in my own bed have not brought my brain fully back online. Meanwhile, as I write this I can hear the tiny kitten in the next room calling for his tiny bottle. Sigh.

It all feels very familiar. Tomorrow is my son’s birthday. He will be a whopping 8 years old. As predicted by many others, the days with babies and toddlers were long, but the years have been short. I can’t believe how big and independent he and his sis-

ter have become, especially with this little kitten to remind me what it was like to have tiny children not so very long ago.

It really is a different world now. This is the first summer we’ve instituted regular chores, and the kids do them with minimal prompting and no adult help at all. I remember worrying in years past that I was not doing a good job introducing order and self-discipline–that my kids wouldn’t know how to work hard and take pride in their accomplishments.

Now, watching them trot off to the coop together, egg basket in hand, or telling them to weed a garden bed and coming out later to find it done, I comfort my past self for all the fretting. “The kids are ok,” I tell that worried younger mother who still sometimes hovers around the edges of my thoughts.

Yes, the feeling of sleep-deprivation and being needed constantly is a familiar one, but save for this kitten who will outgrow his tiny-ness far faster than my human children did, the days of being that kind of mother are over for me. I could lament this fact, but honestly, thank goodness! I don’t know how I did it back then, and I can’t imagine doing it again right now. That week of camping felt like it might end me.

And yet, during our week away, I got to have a quick visit with a dear friend who has 3-and-half month old twins (in addition to a not-quite 3 year old). I expected to find her exhausted and depleted, but instead she was absolutely glowing. Her babies have the delightful, fat dimpled thighs, tiny, delicate fingernails, and the fluffy, angel-soft hair that are as marvelous and awe-inspiring as they are nearly universal in babies that young. It’s hard not to feel joyful in their presence–babies really are magic. And, my friend has had a

lot of help from family, other friends, and neighbors. She was unabashed in celebrating how all that help has allowed her to enjoy her twins in a way she couldn’t with her first baby when she and her husband did most of the heavy lifting alone.

It was a good reminder that childrearing really isn’t something we are meant to do alone. My babies are growing up, which means it’s my turn to snuggle someone else’s babies so they can take a shower or drink a cup of tea.

Bring me your babies, is what I am saying! I am here for the snuggles! And also I need a nap. So maybe bring me your babies next week. I need a little more time to recover, and then I will snuggle them and you can have your turn to take a rest.

AgTech Innovation Hub awards 5 inaugural research projects

COLUMBUS — Five innovative research projects have been awarded funding from the new AgTech Innovation Hub, a multimillion-dollar collaboration between The Ohio State University and Nationwide.

Nine researchers in The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences were chosen to pitch their innovative research project ideas to be completed through the AgTech Innovation Hub, said Gary Pierzynski, CFAES associate dean of Research and Graduate Education.

Using a kind of “Shark Tank”-like format, each researcher pitched their ideas before a judging panel, and five were selected for funding. The goal of the research projects, each of which will last for one year, is to find a practical solution to a real-world problem in the agricultural ecosystem while better understanding, managing and mitigating climate risk, Pierzynski said.

The projects chosen include the following:

Drought risk reduction. With increased extreme weather events like flooding on farm fields, effective water management for farmers and producers often means installing drainage tiles on their farm fields. This project will study the effects of automating the drainage water management process using sensor technology that monitors real-time water levels in farmers’ fields.

Using an app on their phone or computer, a farmer could program their outlet gates to open, close and respond automatically to these levels. Data gathered from the sensors could also improve decision-making.

The project hopes to evaluate the impact of this technology by looking at the content, quality, and vol-

ume of water in experimental fields equipped with the automated drainage system. Researchers also plan to use sensors to consider how crops respond by measuring stress, yield, and photosynthetic activity.

Mapping climate risk audiences. An understanding of how audiences perceive climate change allows practitioners to address misperceptions. This project will map perceptions and experiences associated with climate risk, determine perceptions of insurance as a risk reduction and mitigation strategy, and identify climate risk audience segments.

The goal is to create a nationwide map detailing climate risk perceptions by region or audience segment to inform future communication campaigns related to climate risk mitigation.

Precision Risk Management. This project studies the use of artificial intelligence and other precision and digital agriculture as a tool to predict corn and soybean yield differences as it relates to planting date to provide valuable guidance to Ohio farmers.

Studying Pathogen Interactions and Climate Risks to Improve Soybean Establishment. The project will research how spring weather conditions affect pathogen infection and seedling establishment in soybean crops with a goal to increase the understanding of how planting

date, seasonal weather, and harvest date all affect seed quality and pathogen presence in soybeans. The study results may have immediate use for farmers in planting and harvesting recommendations.

Cell-Permeable Proteins for Sustainable Organic Agriculture. Biopesticides and bio stimulants are natural substances or organisms that, when applied, enhance a plant’s natural defense and growth mechanisms. The development of these natural approaches is in high demand due to increased disease pressure due to climate change and reduced effectiveness of traditional control methods. This project seeks to improve the effectiveness of an existing biopesticide for disease control and growth promotion in tomato crops, both those grown using hydroponics and those grown in farm fields. About the hub. First announced last fall, the AgTech Innovation Hub is facilitated by The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and aims to encourage the development of new solutions that will help the agricultural ecosystem while better understanding, managing and mitigating climate risk.

Nationwide pledged up to $2 million in initial funding to identify and execute initiatives for the AgTech Innovation Hub. The AgTech Innovation Hub will provide a variety of tools, resources, skillsets and funding platforms to address the dynamic and changing needs of agriculture innovation to minimize climate risk and accurately insure those risks with a goal to expand the reach of the Hub over time.

How to manage pastures in dry conditions

Most of Ohio is abnormally dry and more than half of the state has been designated as being in moderate drought. The U.S. Drought Monitor maps compare drought conditions from May 30 and June 6 (the two latest maps available at the time of writing this article). Notice how the map changed (more areas of yellow) in Ohio in just one week.

If these dry conditions continue, pasture quality will decline rapidly. On May 28, roughly 75% of Ohio pastures were rated Good to Excellent, with the majority as Good, according to USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. It would be reasonable to expect that across most of Ohio Poor and Very Poor pasture conditions could be a new reality without significant rainfall.

Management suggestions. While we can’t control when, where, or the amount of rainfall, there are management practices you can take to minimize damage to pastures, while maintaining cattle health and growth. Please consider the suggestions provided below:

• Do not overgraze. Plants require leaf area to capture sunlight to complete the photosynthesis process. Overgrazing will diminish available leaf area and impact root reserves needed to maintain plant growth.

• Depending upon forage species, plants should be approximately 8 to 10 inches tall before being grazed — and follow the “take half, leave half” rule.

• Consider using temporary posts and fencing to reduce paddock size to improve utilization with more frequent pasture rotations.

• Walk your pastures to observe and eradicate any poisonous plants. When pastures are short, weeds have a chance to outcompete grasses. The goal is to prevent any weeds from developing and then spreading seed.

• Be prepared to apply nitrogen —

when rain is in the forecast. Applying nitrogen without sufficient moisture will result in volatilization.

• Evaluate available alternative feeds. Whole shelled corn is still an economically viable option to supplement energy given the price of cattle today. Talk to your nutritionist to match animal needs based on stage of production.

• Buy hay? Seems odd to consider buying hay for most producers in June. Depending on the cost to do so, buying hay could provide a shortterm solution. However, if drought persists, the value of hay will certainly increase.

• Feed hay. If you have hay reserves from 2022, this may be a good opportunity to utilize some of those

bales, especially if they have been stored outdoors as their quality is only going to further deteriorate.

• If feeding hay or supplementing cattle, a sacrifice lot or heavy use pad could be the best place to do so depending on the availability of water.

• Consider early weaning calves. Calves that are at minimum 90 days of age can be weaned if feed resources are of short supply. Wean calves onto a predominantly hay based diet and slowly introduce and increase the percentage of grain. Monitor body condition, if marketing feeder cattle, be careful to not over condition.

• Cull part of the herd, especially those with health issues, difficult breeders, poor udders, feet and leg problems and those cows that are a

Body Condition Score of 4 or less. It is a challenge to add body condition often in a good year to consistently thin cows. Culling cows for any of the above criteria allows more forage for higher producing animals. Summary. The forecast doesn’t look promising for immediate relief from dry conditions. We encourage producers to consider the management strategies outlined in this article and use this situation to develop a management plan for future similar scenarios. Please contact your local Extension professional for additional assistance.

ASHLAND, Ohio — Members of

the Ashland FFA chapter traveled to Reagan Elementary School June 1 to help wrap up the school year with a farm carnival. Sage Runion, Camryn Cox, Laney McNamara, Kelsey Kaesar, Wyatt Carter, Nick Cartwright, Tanner Harpster, James Coffman, Brylynn Mottawa, Raelee Weiler and Bella Potts helped Reagan students interact with steers, sheep, a miniature horse, pygmy goats, Indian Runner ducks, tadpoles and a rabbit. Through the interactions, Reagan students learned the importance of proper animal husbandry, how to behave around an animal, and species specific facts.

In addition to the animals, students learned about pumpkins through planting pumpkin seeds with Haley McNaull, Chloe McFrederick, Keaton Christian, Noah Sobish and Elise Frazer. At the station, students learned about how to grow a pumpkin and what the “blue stuff” or chemical treatment on seeds is for in addition to proper handling technique. Not only did Reagan Students learn from this event, but members who helped, began “growing the next generation of leaders who will change the world,” by communicating their knowledge of agriculture with a younger audience.

Richland SWCD offering cost-share for cover crops

MANSFIELD, Ohio — Richland

Soil and Water Conservation District is partnering with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District on cost share programs for producers who plant cover crops.

The application period for landowners and farmers to apply for the MWCD cover crop cost share program is open until June 30 with Richland SWCD. Enrollment is open for those landowners and farmers within the assessment zone. In 2022, the cover crop cost share program assisted in getting cover crops planted on over 297 acres of Richland County farmland.

The 2023 MWCD Cover Crop Program cost share is $12 per acre with a general cap per participant

Central State named partner institution on $10M ag award

WILBERFORCE, Ohio — Central State University is a partner institution on a $10 million award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture, through the From Learning to Leading: Cultivating the Next Generation of Diverse Food and Agriculture Professionals program.

A coalition of two Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Central State University and Lincoln University; one Hispanic-serving institution, Texas A&M University; and one Research University, Missouri University of Science and Technology are working together on awardwinning project, “HBCU-HSI-RIU Consortium: A Synergistic Paradigm for Training the Next Generation Agriculture Workforce for a Sustainable Future.”

The project aims to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, nationwide labor shortages, climate change, increasing food safety concerns, and the under-representation of minorities in agriculture-related fields.

Team members from partner institutions consist of research, education, and extension professionals to maximize the impact on minority populations from grades K-12 to graduate school.

Dr. Hongmei Li-Byarlay, research associate professor of entomology and project director for Pollinator Health, Agricultural Research Development Program, serves as the principal investigatorfor Central State. The Central State co-PIs are Sakthi Kumaran Subburayalu, Sharath Krishna and Prosper Doamekpor — each of whom has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in agriculture and minority workforce development.

Central State’s major project goal is to establish an inter-institutional collaborative graduate program that emphasizes soil sciences and entomology. This initiative complements Central State’s existing programs in sustainable agriculture, water resources management, environmental engineering, and experiential learning.

Undergraduate students currently conduct research in soil conservation, integrated pest management, pollinator health, horticulture and other relevant topics.

In addition to the new graduate program, the project will support courses on precision agriculture and drone application, yearly geospatial information science activities, a summer workshop on regenerative agriculture, professional learning and scholarships, youth programming and other related initiatives across the four consortium institutions.

set at 200 acres. However, any cover crop planted in the watershed of Charles Mill or Pleasant Hill Lakes automatically qualify for funding with no cap on the acres funded.

This program cannot be enrolled in another program to receive funding for the same cover crop such as EQIP. There are no exceptions to the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service seedling dates and rates. If a mix is going to be planted, the earliest seeding date of the species within the mix is the date that it must be planted by such as radishes. Wheat is allowed and can be harvested. The 200-acre cap applies across multiple counties if the landowner is

signing up in multiple counties. The cost share program for livestock exclusion fencing runs in conjunction with two-thirds United States Fish and Wildlife Service funds and one-third MWCD funds to pay 100% of actual project costs not to exceed $10,000 per contract. These projects remove livestock access from the streams permanently to allow a buffered riparian area to become established. Applications are accepted year-round for the livestock inclusion fencing program.

To apply for either program or get more information, contact Technician Matt Wallace by calling 419747-8687 or email Wallace.Matt@ RichlandSWCD.Net.

Fifty-five projects will serve environmental justice communities.

Schools and colleges, environmental and community organizations, and county conservation districts received funding for a broad range of educational hands-on programs for students, training and community projects for adults, and teacher training workshops.

The program prioritizes projects that engage youth or adults who live, work, or attend school in environmental justice areas. Funding focuses primarily on educating participants to develop and carry out practical solutions that help communities become more climate change resilient or reduce pollution to improve local water quality.

The newly funded projects range from a farm-to-school food program in Erie to a Philadelphia faith organization’s program to train residents in cool roof coating application and solar panel installation and many more.

Multiple counties in Western Pennsylvania will receive the following:

Pennsylvania Resources Council: $19,525 to conduct eight backyard composting workshops designed to reach 250 households in Allegheny and Delaware counties. Participants will learn about waste minimization in the home and make connections between waste and broader issues such as climate change, water pollution, soil health and gardening. Participants will receive a compost bin and instructions.

Watersmith Guild: $25,815 to provide educational workshops that empower underserved youth in Cambria and Indiana counties with skills and knowledge to improve their lives and create lasting positive impacts on the environment. Students will work with professional instructors and mentors to become proficient river surfers, paddlers, and waterway stewards, through activities including tree planting, water sampling, stream biology, and whitewater paddle boarding. Through hands-on education in filmmaking and digital media, students will create videos about their experiences to inspire in others an appreciation for watersheds and the power of outdoor connections to enhance our personal lives and communities.

Allegheny County will receive grant money for the following projects:

Allegheny County Conservation

District: $4,999 to host field workshops for municipal managers to elevate their knowledge of watersheds, watershed planning, and best management practices to remedy nonpoint source pollution and impacts of climate change, such as localized flooding.

Chalfant Run/Thompson Run

Watershed Association: $4,494 to hold four classroom workshops and four outdoor sessions for third through sixth grade students. Content will address causes of local water pollution, including litter, stormwater, and abandoned mine drainage, and explore solutions for improving water quality, such as stream restoration projects.

Communitopia: Two grants: $29,995 for an institute that will prepare grade 7-12 teachers to engage students in local hands-on climate change learning and solutions and will provide student field trips, in-

cluding interactive STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning stations on local climate change causes, effects, and solutions; $5,000 for workshops to train K-12 teachers on creative expression as an effective teaching strategy for exploring climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice. Participants will learn how to initiate small-scale (home or classroom) or large-scale (school, district, or community) climate solutions using creative expression.

Michael Brothers Hauling, Inc.: $4,540 to hold seven workshops led by industry experts and environmental justice community members on urban ecology issues. Workshop topics will include urban water infrastructure, compost, green building, vermiculture, permaculture, recycling, and solar energy.

Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light: $29,965 to engage 40 to 50 students through hands-on workshops and urban farming experiences. Students will increase their understanding of watershed protection and energy, water, and waste conservation and will be encouraged to take actions with their family and friends to reduce the effects of climate change and improve community and individual health.

Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy: $25,533 to implement state standards, climate change education, and meaningful action projects in the parks with students at five high schools in Pittsburgh in the fall, winter, and spring. Topics will highlight habitat improvement, tree planting, and stormwater mitigation strategies.

Wheat prices rise following dam collapse in Ukraine

WASHINGTON (AP) — The collapse of a major dam in southern Ukraine sent global prices of wheat and corn higher.

Wheat prices gained 2.4% in early trading June 6 at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, to $6.39 a bushel. The cost of corn rose more than 1% (to $6.04 a bushel) and oats gained 0.73% ($3.46 per unit). Prices had jumped higher earlier in the day.

The destruction of Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power station, which sits on the Dnieper River in an area that Moscow controls, raised anxiety about a potential disruption to global supplies.

There are massive agricultural fields in Southern Ukraine where the dam burst. Andrey Sizov, managing director of Black Sea agricultural markets research firm SovEcon, said the dam’s collapse “looks like a big escalation with dire consequences and huge headline risk.”

“This could be just the start of the bull run,” Sizov wrote on Twitter.

Wheat prices have been falling throughout the year. Citi commodities analysts said the incident June 6 is “a reminder of lingering inflationary risk in the goods market.”

Ukraine accused Russian forces of blowing up the Kakhovka dam, while Russian officials blamed Ukrainian bombardment in the contested area — and cutting off water supplies to to Crimea, which which Russia illegally annexed in 2014. It was not possible to verify the claims. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

What do you think girls?

Don’t focus on the superficial

cheated on their wives, stolen from the public and have sold their souls to false gods to get power. Then they make sure that you see them in church during election season.”

Relax, fellow Holmes Countians. This dim, if not caustic, view of religion’s place in public life was offered in another county many years ago.

Rev. Eldon Trubee

Like as a Fire

Hosea 5:15-6:1-6.

I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face; in their affliction, they will seek me early. Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. O E[hraim, what shall I do unto thee: O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew, it goeth away.

Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

ALL THAT GOD ASKS OF US

Years ago when the posting of religious material in public places became an issue, one well-seasoned lawyer pointed to a plaque displaying the Ten Commandments on a courthouse wall.

“Maybe it is time to take down God’s Law. You’d be amazed at the number of officials and politicians who have lied about other people,

Several years later, a candidate for a congressional seat was working the crowd at Holmes County’s antique festival. He took time to pose for a photo opportunity appearing to enter the church I was serving. It appeared in a campaign brochure.

This office seeker was neither local, nor was he connected with our congregation. He was convicted of fraud sometime later.

One lady who belonged to the congregation in which I interned while in seminary, worried about the little numbered plates on the pews being polished each week. “It glorified God.”

The same person opposed the church’s kids’ after school program because they might leave a mess or break something. The lady is dead, and the church building has been sold. I still wonder what happened to those now-grown youngsters.

Details change, but situations and attitudes often don’t. A young pastor recently complained about the time and money spent on social hour coffee and rolls prior to Sunday worship and the complaints about spills on the new, more comfortable church furniture.

He felt that more attention was being paid to the “burnt offerings” from some conscience-smitten members seeking self comfort and and easy sacrifice to keep the Lord happy.

“But where is God’s mercy and love affirmed in all of this?” the young minister asked. “Where are the sacrifices or personal attitudes and actions?”

He asked further where are the choices that we make in service to the Lord? What do we give of our-

selves? And how do other people benefit from our expressions of love and mercy inspired by our Maker? Do we sincerely forgive others and ask for God’s forgiveness? Do we help others through our sacrifices of time and or wealth, expecting no recognition? Do we consciously ask ourselves if what we think, do and say giving other folks a glimpse of a merciful and loving God?

Before you and I become too selfrighteous in our judgments of others’ neglect and abuse of claimed faith, let’s ponder our own superficially polite tips of the hat to our professed faith traditions. Aren’t there times when we do things for the purposes of trying to keep the Lord happy or to impress others with our piety?

Now, I must admit that a comfortable seat aids my ability to concentrate on the worship experience. I also enjoy the fellowship accompanied by refreshments before or following the service. And be it simple or more decorative, an inviting worship setting enhances peace and a sense of God’s presence.

A clear line must be drawn between self-serving sacrifices offered to appease God and the love of God of which Hosea taught.

The prophet spoke of God’s love for us and the love we are to have for God as being like a forsaken husband welcoming the return of an unfaithful wife. God’s people had strayed and were suffering during their alienation from their Creator’s open arms. All that the Lord asks of them is that they be faithful upon their return.

Renewed faith is defined as acknowledging God’s merciful love and forgiveness, getting to know God as best we can, listening and living to the best of our abilities as God leads us.

Hosea’s message to us may be to worry less about superficial displays of religion and focus more on asking for God’s forgiveness of our lapses.

God, forgive and guide us, as Hosea taught. Amen.

Meditation from the Upper Room

AVAILABLE TO ALL

“Allow the children to come to me,” Jesus said. “Don’t forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children.”

— Matthew 19:14 (CEB)

I often think of my younger brother as a child who doesn’t really understand. Yet he understands a lot of information better than I do. Young children are often considered unable to understand or do things well. But having this mindset means we can miss the wisdom children have to offer.

In Jesus’ day, society looked down upon not only children but also

Part 4 in Gettysburg series: An oldie but goodie

By Stephen Broache

(Editor’s note: Part four in a series in honor of the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863.)

“For all our days pass away under Thy wrath, our years come to an end like a sigh. The years of our life are threescore and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore.”

— Psalm 90:9-10

On my morning Culp’s circle jog/meditation/fluid circulation/nature immersion/battlefield thoughts, I often met up with one of our Gettysburg residents walking a greyhound. They are so slender and gentle!

She had rescued the dog after its race days were over. No more chasing mechanical rabbits. I’m not sure how it reacted to the myriad of squirrels that inhabit the park and town.

For its purpose — providing joy and companionship to its owners (and occasional passerby such as myself) — the dog is not “used up.” For racing and gambling purposes, it was.

The statue to the oldest officer in the Union Army who fought at Gettysburg is at the top of Culp’s Hill. In 1863, was 62 ancient? His name was George Sears Greene.

Maybe there was some talk about him being too old — by other officers, his own troops even. Maybe even his own family thought, “Dad, you should come home and leave that fighting to the younger men.”

But from what I’ve read, he took the mantle of his duties to heart. He even did things a little differently. To defend his position, he ordered breastworks to be constructed. This meant the felling of trees mixed with earth, stones and brush.

Rev. Stephen Broache

Behind such “walls,” he felt his men, who were outnumbered about 4-to-1, could better defend/hold the high ground. When you climb the tower there, you can see the southern cannon up on Benner’s Hill. He had a good shot at them. His actions were instrumental in keeping that ground in Union hands. Even though briefly lost they were retaken. What baffles me is the criticism he received for doing so. Was it seen as cowardly? A waste of manpower? Old fashioned, even?

In hindsight, it is seen as a smart move. The old guy did good.

It is easy to fall into the “my life is over trap.” We are convinced — often by ourselves —that because we are not as physically powerful, fast or as “fresh and minty” as we were when younger, we are valueless. Not so.

I could list a litany of late–in–life achievers here, but you’ve heard that before. So hear it again. You are never done in life. Give, share, absorb, lead, love, live. Your life will say to others: he won the battle, he held the high ground.

Prayer: Lord God, our days are given by your grace. And often by “reason of strength”, perhaps even four score years. Use us up for others. Amen

women, people with disabilities and those who were poor or uneducated. These groups were considered immature in faith — even sinful.

So Jesus’ words in today’s scripture verse challenged the status quo. He welcomed the children, even calling them the heirs of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus was reminding everyone that God’s love is not limited to certain groups of people; God accepts all people.

As followers of Christ, we are also invited to accept all people. We should not demean the faith of anyone, including young children, for any reason. God’s love is available to anyone who seeks God.

Today’s prayer: Dear God, enable us to love people of all ages and from all walks of life just as you love us. We pray in the name of Christ Jesus. Amen. — Ester Novaria, West Java, Indonesia

Glamping

l Camping Stuffed French Toast

• 8-12 slices French bread

• 4 eggs

• 2 cups milk

• 1 Tbsp. cinnamon

• 1 Tbsp. vanilla

• 1 container mascarpone cheese

• 1 cup blueberries

• 1 cup raspberries

• Powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream

Mix eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Lay out bread and spread on a thick layer of mascarpone on each piece of bread. Add blueberries and raspberries to half of the bread slices. Sandwich the bread together and press down. Dip each sandwich in egg mixture. If cooking on pan, place each slice in hot greased cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy and cooked through, about four minutes on each side. If baking, line a loaf pan with foil, spray with nonstick spray and add all the pieces to the pan. Wrap tightly with foil and bake over the fire until cooked through, about 45 minutes.

l Cast Iron Peach Cobbler

• 2 med. peaches, sliced 1/2-in. thick

• ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon

• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided

• ¼ cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup flour

• 1½ tsp. baking powder

• ¼ tsp. kosher salt

• ¾ cup whole milk

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Toss together peaches, cinnamon and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl; let stand at room temperature until ready to use. Place butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet; place in preheated oven until butter is melted, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in milk and vanilla until combined. Carefully remove skillet from oven, and pour in cake batter. Do not stir. Bake in a preheated oven for five minutes. Spoon peaches and any accumulated juices over cake batter. Continue baking until golden brown and cake is slightly firm to touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

l Campfire Nachos

• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

• 1  bag corn tortilla chips

• 1 16 oz. can refried beans

• 1/2 small onion diced

• 1 4 oz. can diced green chile peppers

In the KNOW...

Glamping is being outdoors with nature — but still feeling a bit fancyschmancy. We have a camper and love to get away for a few weekends. Using our Keurig, slow cooker and of course the microwave, we don’t feel too primitive but love the opportunity to eat a bit slower, sip a beverage, watch the campfire flames and just reboot. Whether at a campground, a rented cabin or your backyard, I highly recommend it.

l Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

BarBecue Sauce:

• 14.5 oz. can tomato sauce

• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar

• 1/4 cup cider vinegar

• 1 Tbsp. yellow mustard

• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp. onion powder

• 1/2 tsp. chili powder

• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

• 1 tsp. black pepper

• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp. paprika

• Slow Cooker plastic liner

• 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 cup water

Whisk together the first 11 ingredients for the barbecue sauce in a medium bowl. Place a slow cooker liner in your cooker. Place chicken in a slow cooker, pour water and Barbecue Sauce (recipe above) over meat. Cover and cook over low setting for 8-10 hours, or over high setting for 3-4 hours. Chicken may break apart easily with a fork once cooked.

l Foil Pack French Dip Sandwiches

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 pkg. au jus gravy mix, separated

• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

• 3/4 tsp. dried minced garlic

• 1/2 tsp. onion powder

• Heavy Duty Foil

• 1 large, or 2 smaller, baguettes

• 1 pound deli roast beef

• 12 slices provolone cheese

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Start by making the butter mixture. Combine the softened butter, 1 tablespoon of the au jus gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced garlic, and onion powder in a bowl. Stir until ingredients are completely combined and set aside. Cut the baguette, make an ODD number of thin slices, about 1/2 inch wide, into the baguettes, cutting only about 3/4 the way through. It’s important there are an ODD number of slices so that each sandwich has two pieces of bread. Separate the butter mixture into two equal parts. Using a butter knife, spread a small amount of the mixture inside each slice of bread. Save half of the mixture for later. Slice the individual pieces of cheese in half and place one piece, along with one piece of roast beef, in between every two slices of bread. These will be individual pull-apart sandwiches, so you don’t want cheese and meat in between each slice. Take the other half of the butter mixture and brush it along the tops and sides of each of the sandwiches with a pastry brush. Wrap each baguette section completely in foil. Make sure none of the bread is exposed. Place in the preheated grill for 10 minutes, turning frequently or until bread is toasty and cheese is melted. If you have a thicker baguette, it will take longer. While the sandwiches are cooking, prepare the au jus. Take the remaining au jus mixture and place in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cups cold water and whisk. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer to allow it to slightly thicken. You can make this ahead of time and just reheat when you’re ready to serve. Remove foil packs and open carefully to let the steam escape. Pull apart the sandwiches and serve with the au jus sauce.

• 1 14 oz. can diced fire roasted tomatoes, with juice

• 1 2.25 oz. can sliced black olives, sliced and drained

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/4 cup sour cream

Have campfire ashes, or charcoal briquettes, hot and ready to go. To prevent sticking, apply a generous layer of vegetable oil to the bottom of your Dutch oven, or use an aluminum or parchment paper as a liner. Layer half the tortilla chips, dollops of refried beans, onion, green chile peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, cheddar cheese and black olives. Now layer them again using the remaining ingredients. Place the Dutch oven lid on the oven and use approximately 5 coals on the bottom and 10 coals on top of the lid. Heat your camping nachos for 10-15 minutes until the ingredients are heated through and the cheese is melted. Remove your Dutch oven from the heat, remove the lid and top your nachos with sour cream.

Ace Solar sees growing interest in solar Page 2

INCREASED DEMAND

By Gail C. Keck

NEW

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio —

The rising cost of electricity is leading to increased demand for solar energy systems to power homes, businesses and farms. Ace Solar, based in New Middletown, Ohio, has grown to meet that increased demand.

“People are calling us and wanting this technology,” explained Erin Quinlan, who operates the company with her husband, Dan.

“People are scrambling for a way so they can get that monthly expense down.”

Future. People see a benefit in investing in their own solar energy systems because they can take care of their energy costs far into the future. Instead of worrying about how high prices for electricity might go, they have essentially prepaid for electricity at a discount with their solar energy systems, Quinlan said.

“You’re purchasing your power now for the next 30 years and more.”

Some customers want to set up their farms or businesses with more predictable energy input costs.

“There’s not that variable factor,” Quinlan explained.

Reducing bills. Homeowners are also looking to minimize their future energy bills, she added. Retiring people, for instance, are investing in systems so they can better budget their power expenses to match their fixed income in retirement.

History. Energy efficiency Ace Solar got its start in 2006, when Dan Quinlan established Valley Energy Solutions. At that time, he was working to help homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

As time went on, more of his work centered on adding solar power to homes and his expertise in designing and installing solar energy sys-

tems grew. Erin joined her husband in the business in 2013, helping with administrative work.

One of the Quinlans’ customers, Rick Carano, was responsible

for the Quinlan’s partnership with Ace Hardware in New Middletown.

He was an enthusiastic proponent of solar energy and had solar energy systems installed on the roof of his

hardware store and pharmacy in New Middletown.

Carano’s next step was to partner with the Quinlans to expand their solar energy installation business as well as offer service for solar electric and energy storage systems. Carano passed away in 2021, before they could complete their plans, but his children have continued his efforts to care for the environment by promoting solar energy, said Quinlan.

“His children have now taken the torch and want to see his legacy live on.”

Valley Energy Solutions became known as Ace Solar and continues to serve customers through New Middletown’s Ace Hardware. They work primarily within a ninetyminute radius of New Middletown, which includes the Cleveland and Akron areas and extends into western Pennsylvania.

The staff of Ace Solar has grown to eight people to handle the increasing demand. To design a system for a specific farm, business or home, Ace Solar begins by assessing a customer’s utility bills to determine energy needs and costs. Then they design a system to fit the site and customer preferences.

Rooftop systems are popular, but they don’t fit all situations, Quinlan pointed out.

For instance, solar panels should not be installed over an old roof and some roofs aren’t oriented for the most efficient operation of solar

panels. For ground-mounted systems, the installation includes landscaping the ground beneath the panels.

Grant funding. Currently, about 70% of Ace Solar’s business is residential, but they’re seeing the most growth in installation of systems on farms to help power farming operations.

“Primarily, it’s because of a lot of the grants that the USDA has to help promote the technology,” noted Quinlan.

Through the Rural Energy for America Program, the USDA is offering loan financing and grants to help cover the cost of renewable energy systems for farms and rural small businesses. Tax credits can also help cover the cost of a system.

Ace Solar is familiar with the government grant programs, so they can write grant applications for customers, Quinlan said.

Customers don’t have to commit to installing a system if a grant isn’t awarded.

Evan Schaefer, who farms with his brother, Luke, in Mahoning County, worked with Ace Solar to install a 17.28-kilowatt system on their farm last winter. It’s mounted on the roof of a pole barn and the electricity generated will help offset the cost of power for their shop and grain system, he said.

Ace Solar helped the Schaefers scale a system to meet their needs without excess capacity. They are using net metering so the power they generate is fed into the grid and Ohio Edison pays them for any extra energy they produce. However, the rate they receive is considerably lower than what they have to pay for power, he pointed out.

“You want to scale it so there’s not much overproduction,” he advised. Ace Solar also helped the Schaefers access grant funding for their project. That made it worthwhile to have Ace Solar install the system rather than trying to complete the project on their own, Schaefer said.

Details. Ace Solar is headquartered inside the Ace Hardware at 10395 Main St., New Middletown, Ohio, and can be reached by phone at 330-5422802. More information is also available online at acesolarpro.com.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University engineers and entomologists are making some sweet discoveries about how honeybees build and structure their honeycombs, which could lead to new fabrication techniques taken from the buzzing builders.

Nikhilesh Chawla, the Ransburg Professor of Materials Engineering at Purdue, is one of the first to utilize four-dimensional (4D) imaging to delve further into the complexities of the honeycomb. The imaging allows a time-lapse view of the bees’ work without cutting into their home.

The innovative view of the bees’

construction found techniques that could eventually translate into new concepts for structural materials or additive manufacturing for the construction industry. Chawla said some of the junctions between the honeycomb cells were created using less material, with the resulting porous connections resembling Swiss cheese.

“It’s a lesson in materials utilization that could lend itself to new ideas and practices in structures,” Chawla said. “Their honeycombs are still perfectly fine. From that perspective, humans may not actually need as much material in some areas that are not quite as

important from a structural point of view.”

Honeycombs are the self-built, multifunctional homes for honeybees, providing a place to store food and serving as a nursery for eggs and larvae in addition to shelter. Made from wax produced by the bees, the hexagonal cells are easily recognized.

Chawla’s work shows how humans can draw important lessons from the plant and animal world in a discipline called biomimicry, which investigates naturally occurring materials and behaviors and draws inspiration to design new products, systems and buildings. Chawla said there are aspects of honeycombs already used in several applications, from construction and structural materials to shoes.

The Purdue research team is made up of Chawla; Brock Harpur, assistant professor of entomology in the College of Agriculture; and Rahul Franklin, a graduate research assistant in materials engineering. Their work was published in the journal Advanced Materials.

Hard to fathom. Chawla said people don’t truly understand how bees make the honeycombs. For example, most theorize the honeycomb chambers start as cylinders and then are molded by the bees into the wellknown hexagonal shape.

But a sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) X-ray microscopy technique combined with a time lapse provided an unprecedented means of studying and quantifying the honeycomb’s microstructure.

The resulting 4D imaging showed chambers are built with panels. Research also found bees go to great lengths to strengthen the honeycomb structure by first creating a vertical spine for support and then building the hexagon cells out horizontally.

“Over time, they continue to make the spine thicker because they understand there is more weight from the wax on it, and they need that backbone to be strong and rigid before they can add more and more of these cells growing outwardly,” Chawla said.

Chawla’s overall research focuses on four-dimensional materials science. The approach — called tomography — uses nondestructive X-rays to add time as a fourth dimension to 3D measurements and analyses. The 4D approach is important in examining structural evolution, including deformation and corrosion that take place over time.

First step. Learning from honeybees is just the first step in the Purdue team’s biomimicry research. Successfully applying those lessons with tools like 3D printing is next. Chawla said there are plans to build honeycombs of different sizes and even different shapes and evaluate their durability with compression tests.

In addition to honeybees, Chawla’s biomimicry research involves looking at the porous cellular structure of cacti and how fluids are moved up and down throughout the plant.

“It’s just a lot of fun to work with these kinds of natural materials because you just never know what you’re going to find,” he said.

Floating solar catches on in US

By Isabella O’Malley

The Associated Press

When Joe Seaman-Graves, the city planner for the working class town of Cohoes, New York, Googled the term “floating solar,” he didn’t even know it was a thing.

What he did know is that his tiny town needed an affordable way to get electricity and had no extra land. But looking at a map, one feature stood out

“We have this 14-acre water reservoir,” he said.

Seaman-Graves soon found the reservoir could hold enough solar panels to power all the municipal buildings and streetlights, saving the city more than $500,000 each year. He had stumbled upon a form of clean energy that is steeply ramping up.

Floating solar panel systems are beginning to boom in the United States after rapid growth in Asia. They’re attractive not just for their clean power and lack of a land footprint, but because they also conserve water by preventing evaporation.

A study published in the journal Nature Sustainability in March found that thousands of cities — more than 6,000 in 124 countries — could generate an amount equal to all their electricity demand using floating solar, making it a climate

Today we are featuring Northeast Ohio Satellite operated by Ron Gregg, who has been serving Ohio and Geauga county for over 40 years with DIRECTV, Dish Network, ATT and T-MOBILE internet. Ron started the business to provide customers with an alternative to cable television and to serve rural areas where there was no access to cable television or Internet and serves such local businesses as National Auto Parts, Zeppe’s, Auburn Inn, Kuhnle Trucking, Lubrizol , Cleveland CAVS, NASA, the Browns and thousands of local houses and small businesses. He pioneered the first small dish satellite system in Ohio in 1994 and installed the first Digital dish in the United States in 1986, for which he was featured in Time Magazine. His company is best known for quality local installations and service, which include audio and security cameras.

Northeast Ohio Satellite provides internet from T-MOBILE, AT&T, VERIZON & HUGHES NET. Northeast Ohio Satellite also can provide internet to any home in the country, for your RV, truck, campers or second homes with long driveways and poor internet with

solution to be taken seriously. In the process, they could save roughly enough water each year to fill 40 million Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Zhenzhong Zeng, a contributor on that study and associate professor at the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China, said in the United States, counties across Florida, Nevada, and California have the potential to generate more power than they use. Of course, they would need a mix of energy to actually provide power all hours of the day, Zeng said.

Simple concept. The concept of floating solar is simple: attach panels onto rafts so they float on water instead of blocking off land that could be used for agriculture or buildings. The panels are sealed and act as a lid that brings evaporation down to nearly zero, benefiting regions like California that repeatedly experience periods of drought. The water also keeps the panels cool, allowing them to generate more electricity than their landmounted counterparts, which lose efficiency when they get too hot.

“We hear from our installers that they like it because it’s something different,” said Chris Bartle, director of sales and marketing for floating solar company Ciel & Terre, which has built 270 projects in 30 coun-

a device providing internet from “Cell Towers”.

What distinguishes Northeast Ohio Satellite apart from other businesses in this field is prompt “Local!” service, experience Northeast Ohio’s dedication to treating every installation as if it were being done in his own home.

They provide DIRECTV, Dish Network, Hughes Net Internet satellite tv and they remove old dishes, hide new Dishes to preserve the esthetics of the home or business and provide Dish Less service for customers that have Internet Service and dish heaters.

tries. “They get to go out on the water as opposed to on a rooftop. We joke that you need life jackets instead of ladders,” he said.

Bartle’s company has launched 28 floating solar projects in the U.S.

Limited land may have spurred some countries in Asia like Japan and Malaysia to expand floating solar, and other countries just took advantage of the steep plunge in prices for solar that has dramatically changed the economic picture for solar adoption globally.

A report by London-based Fairfield Market Research says the region currently accounts for 73% of revenue from floating solar and “spearheads the global landscape,” but predicts that policy incentives in North America and Europe will spur significant growth.

One of the biggest floating solar farms in the U.S. is the 4.8 MW project in Healdsburg, California, built by Ciel & Terre.

“It’s funny, I don’t think a lot of people in Healdsburg know about it,” said David Hargreaves, a local realtor and YouTuber who lives nearby. People may not know that solar panels can be placed on water, so they don’t look out for it, he said.

The world’s largest array so far is the 320 MW Dezhou Dingzhuang Floating Solar Farm in Shandong, China. North America’s largest, by

comparison, is a fraction of that — 8.9 MW at the Canoe Brook Water Treatment Plant in Millburn, N.J., owned by New Jersey Resources Clean Energy Ventures, which operates utilityscale commercial as well as residential solar systems across the Northeast.

“We’re excited to see it start gaining traction in the US,” said Robert Pohlman, vice president of NJRCEV.

But higher costs up front remain a barrier. Bartle estimates floating solar costs 10-15% more than land solar initially, but owners save money in the long run. Deeper water can increase installation costs, and the technology can’t operate on fastmoving water, on the open ocean, or shorelines with large waves.

Challenges. Engineers are working on other challenges. If the solar panels cover too much of a water body’s surface, dissolved oxygen levels could change and water temperature will drop, which could harm aquatic life. Researchers are looking into whether the electromagnetic fields generated by cables could negatively influence aquatic ecosystems, however, there’s no evidence of that yet.

Duke Energy, the large U.S. utility that owns some 50,000 MW of energy capacity, is aiming to achieve net zero carbon emissions from electricity production by 2050. It just

launched a small floating solar pilot, just shy of 1 MW in Bartow, Florida.

“The favorite part of my job is that I get to come out here,” said Tommy Oneal, an environmental specialist at Duke Energy, as he gestured towards new panels floating on top of the cooling pond of an adjacent gas power plant.

“I see eagles, alligators, and all kinds of cool stuff ... It’s fun, these issues make my job different every day. When I went to college, I never thought I’d be dealing with alligator issues,” said Oneal.

In Cohoes, public officials are preparing for the installation of their project later this year at an estimated final cost of $6.5 million. The federal government is paying almost half of that through a federal Housing and Urban Development grant. Another $750,000 is covered by the utility National Grid. The city is also looking into New York solar incentives and the Inflation Reduction Act.

As far as he knows, Seaman-Graves said, it’s is the first municipally-owned floating solar project in the country.

“We are an environmental justice community and we see a big opportunity for low to moderate income cities to replicate what we’re doing,” he said. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

Biofortification with zinc could mitigate ‘hidden hunger’

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — When the seeds of plants such as pea and sunflower are biofortified with zinc, the seedlings they quickly produce — harvested as microgreens — could both help to mitigate global malnutrition and boost the odds of people surviving a catastrophe.

That’s the conclusion of a Penn State research team that experimented with several biofortification methods to determine the most effective way to incorporate a mineral essential to human health into the young plants while not diminishing the amounts of other essential nutrients they produce.

Microgreens biofortified with zinc offer people a lifeline in the face of starvation risk, according to team leader Francesco Di Gioia, assistant professor of vegetable crop science.

“This study has demonstrated that zinc biofortification through seed nutri-priming achieves needed

levels of zinc in the young pea and sunflower plants we focused our experiments on,” he said. “These results have implications for both global ‘hidden hunger’ and emergency or catastrophe preparedness.”

The work is another development in the ongoing project “Food Resilience in the Face of Catastrophic Global Events,” funded by the nonprofit foundation Open Philanthropy. In Di Gioia’s work, an international team of researchers found that microgreens can be grown in a variety of soilless production systems in small spaces indoors, with or without artificial lighting. The zinc biofortification component is an important new innovation.

Starts with seed. Biofortification is the process of growing crops to increase nutritional value from the seed on, Di Gioia explained. It is different from food fortification, which involves adding nutrients to foods during post-harvest processing. In poor regions of the world, or under post-catastrophic conditions, simply soaking seeds in a zinc solution is a practical and effective strategy for producing nutrient-dense microgreens, he pointed out.

“Starting decades ago as fashionable, high-value gourmet greens, microgreens today have gained popularity among consumers for their nutritional profile and high content of antioxidant compounds,” he said. “Our work shows microgreens can help people to survive a global catastrophe such as all-out nuclear war, large asteroid strike or supervolcano eruption in the short term, but additional nutritional resources may be needed in the longer term.”

Such a cataclysmic event would endanger agricultural productivity by reducing sunlight and temperature, disrupting rainfall patterns, and contaminating water supplies, thus threatening starvation for survivors of the initial event. Early on, biofortified microgreen production would improve the probability of human survival under these conditions.

Addressing malnutrition. The prospect of also being able to expeditiously mitigate hidden hunger excites Pradip Poudel, the secondyear doctoral degree student in the College of Agricultural Sciences who spearheaded the research. He suggested that production of nutrientdense crops using agronomic biofortification techniques is a sustainable strategy that is badly needed to address malnutrition.

The World Health Organization defines hidden hunger as a lack of vitamins and minerals that occurs when the quality of food people eat does not meet the nutrient requirements they need for their growth and development, Poudel noted. Two billion people suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies, according to the WHO.

“We were thinking, how can we increase the content of zinc in microgreens, developing a very simple way that people could use at home in a ‘microgreens growing kit’ that could be delivered in an emergency situation,” he said. “And we know it will be important to include a fertilizer source for zinc so people will just have to soak the seeds before putting them in germination — a very simple process that anyone can do to enrich their microgreens with zinc.”

In findings recently published in Frontiers in Plant Science, the researchers reported that zinc sulfate, which is sometimes taken as a dietary supplement to treat a zinc deficiency or to promote wellness, was the most effective zinc source. Seeds soaked in a 200 parts per million solution of zinc sulphate resulted in higher zinc accumulation in both peas (126%) and sunflower microgreens (230%).

Researchers examined the effect of different zinc sources and soaking concentrations on microgreenyield components such as mineral content; phytochemical constituents such as total chlorophyll, carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanin and total phenolic compounds; antioxidant activity; and antinutrient factors such as phytic acid.

Seed soaking in zinc sulfate and zinc oxide solutions at higher concentrations reduced phytic acid in both pea and sunflower microgreens — a positive development — the researchers pointed out. Because phytic acid is known to be an “anti-nutrient,” its lower level suggests the zinc might be more bioaccessible, or nutritionally available, to consumers.

While microgreens and sprouts are similar, they are not the same thing, Poudel noted. Both are baby plants; both can be grown indoors; and both can be grown from the same types of seeds. But that is where the similarities end.

A sprout is the first stage in a plant’s life cycle after the seed germinates. When the baby plant grows beyond its first shoot and root, it transitions to the microgreen stage. Microgreens are essentially the mature plant in miniature, with leaves, stems and roots. They are typically harvested after the stem has grown 3 to 5 inches tall and its first set of leaves appear.

“The reason microgreens are so rich in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants,” he added, “is that they all soon would be spread throughout the maturing plants’ leaves, flowers and fruit.”

Americans tend to trust food labels

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Americans tend to trust food labels, especially the ingredient list, expiration date and nutrition fact label, according to the March Consumer Food Insights Report. The most distrusted labels include low-calorie, naturalness and health claims.

The survey-based report out of Purdue University’s Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability assesses food spending, consumer satisfaction and values, support of agricultural and food policies, and trust in information sources. Purdue experts conducted and evaluated the survey, which included 1,200 consumers across the U.S.

“Generally, consumers trust — or, at least, don’t distrust — the labels on their food. This trust is significantly lower for claims about the health or naturalness of food, claims which may often be more nebulous or more clearly motivated by marketing objectives,” said Jayson Lusk, the head and Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics at Purdue, who leads the center.

Utilitarian labels appear to be viewed more favorably. These labels are also the most important to consumers, according to the report.

“Among these important labels, the ingredient list and nutrition fact label are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, while expiration dates are not,” Lusk said. “Considering that of all of the information on a food product, the expiration date is one of the primary labels that consumers read, there is an important conversation to be had about standardizing this information.”

More in-depth responses to the new food-labeling questions will appear in next month’s report. This month’s report also looks at the employment status of respondents, comparing adults of working age and of retirement age.

The report’s month-to-month food insecurity rate remains effectively unchanged at 14%. Lusk called attention, however, to the 27% of adults who are not working and who are facing some degree of food insecurity, compared to 12% among those with a job.

“This finding is not surprising, but it drives home the point that

more people losing their jobs in the event of a recession could lead to a precipitous drop in the number of food-secure households,” Lusk said.

“The incredibly low rate of food insecurity among 65-plus households also demonstrates how people generally accrue a number of advantages through their lives, and those who make it to old age also enjoy fairly robust entitlement programs.”

Additional key results from this month’s report include the following:

• 13% of consumers experienced a stockout, or absence, of one or more items at the grocery store, down from 22% in January.

• Total food spending is up 5% from this time last year, while food inflation expectations for the next year sit at around 4%.

• Unemployed adults have the lowest rates of diet happiness, while retirees have the highest.

• Unemployed adults less readily pursue food behaviors that are viewed as sustainable or ethical.

• Consumers are accurately perceiving a slow decrease in food inflation, noted Sam Polzin, a food an agriculture survey scientist for the center and co-author of the report.

(The Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability is part of Purdue’s Next Moves in agriculture and food systems and uses innovative data analysis shared through user-friendly platforms to improve the food system. In addition to the Consumer Food Insights Report, the center offers a portfolio of online dashboards.)

We would like to Thank You, our customers, for one of our strongest years as a company in 2022. The year 2023 looks to be even better, and we could not be more grateful. Our hope is that as time passes, the new leadership carries the company for the foreseen future in strength,

WASHINGTON — From New York to North Carolina and as far west as Illinois, the invasive spotted lanternfly is causing chaos in many states where agricultural and forestry industries are essential to the economy. It has been estimated that crops and forest production losses caused by insects and pathogens are close to $40 billion a year.

Spotted laternflies, native to mainland China, prey upon 70-plus host plant species, stealing their nutrients with their piercing snouts, called stylets. They are often characterized as “hitchhikers” for their ability to move long distances through human-assisted movement. Envision logging trucks traveling back and forth across the country with a few unwelcome pesky passengers braced to the back.

Officials in infested states have brainstormed different approaches to stop the spread of this deadly leafhopper.

Stomp, squash, or smash the dastardly bug, they say.

New approach. Now, researchers in Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are experimenting with a new approach and calling upon dogs in the fight against the spotted lanternfly.

With a four-year, $475,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, Erica Feuerbacher, an associate professor of applied animal welfare and behavior in the School of Animal Sciences, and Mizuho Nita, a Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist and an associate professor in the School for Plant and Environmental Sciences, have partnered with researchers at Texas Tech University to combat both the spotted lanternfly and the deadly fungal disease powdery mildew with the help of canines and their citizenscientist counterparts.

The project, unofficially called the Canine Citizen Science Study, began two years ago in an olfactory lab at Texas Tech and has recently expanded to the East Coast, where Feuerbacher and assistants are asking dog owners to unite and utilize their pets’ scent work skills to sniff out spotted lanternfly eggs.

The nose, knows. Flint is an 8-year-old border collie. He is energetic, playful and very well-trained, thanks to the efforts of his talented owner and trainer, Sally Dickinson, a doctoral candidate in the School of Animal Sciences and a student of Feuerbacher’s.

Both women share an affinity for four-legged animals, especially dogs. Feuerbacher has a vested interest in dog welfare and behavior, while Dickinson has a strong background in training dogs for odor detection. Flint has been trained in emergency situations as a cadaver dog. More recently, he’s become an expert at finding spotted lanternfly eggs.

For decades, dogs and their impeccable noses, which possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors, have been used to detect missing people, narcotics, and explosives. Nose work has also become an increasingly popular dog sport, Feuerbacher said.

“Every day, average dogs are competing and finding these scents, and that speaks to their potential ability to detect ecologically and agriculturally relevant targets,” Feuerbacher said.

On a crystal-clear afternoon, Flint showed off his impressive sense of smell at the Alson H. Smith Jr. Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Winchester. The center is well-known for its contributions to the commercial fruit industry, including wine grape research. Dripping with clusters of sugary fruit, grapevines are especially prone to spotted lanternflies.

Insects have a sweet tooth, too, supposedly.

This was Flint’s first foray into

the field. Up until this point, Dickinson had only trained him at home using spotted lanternfly egg samples.

“To train a dog to detect an odor, we use a pairing mechanism,” Dickinson said. “The dog has to learn that a particular odor is of value to them. We present the odor and pair that with something that is pleasurable or edible – whatever is reinforcing to the dog. That creates a message in the dog’s mind that, ‘If I look for that thing, and I find it, something really good happens in my life.’”

For Flint, the reward was handfuls of treats as he worked his way through the grapevines, sniffing, stopping, and even pointing with his paw when lines of tiny eggs were detected.

Nita, who operates a grape disease management research and Extension lab at the Alson H. Smith Jr. Agricultural Research and Extension Center, watched from afar with excitement.

He saw firsthand the detriment of the spotted lanternfly. He recalls flying the drone when the fly was first detected at the research center about two years ago.

“There were thousands,” he said.

Early detection. As part of the canine detection project’s partnership with Texas Tech, Nita sends egg

samples to the university’s Canine Olfaction Research and Education Laboratory. Under the leadership of Associate Professor Nathan Hall, the lab has conducted multiple behavior-

al and olfactory research studies. Nita and Hall have been at the forefront of the study for the past two years.

Early detection is critical to stopping and destroying the lanternfly,

Nita said. Their eggs are very small and often laid on the underside of plants. As they develop into adults,

and stealing their nutrients. What they don’t digest, they discharge on the leaves of the plant, inviting another issue: mold.

Calling all canines

“Naturally, my fear is the risk to the quality of the grapes and the wines they produce,” Nita said. “I worry that growers will be overusing insecticides. While they have proved effective in killing the spotted lan-

ternfly, they also cause harm to beneficial insects; therefore, it may bring other issues to our crops.”

Nita said he is hopeful that with early detection, the spotted lanternfly will be effectively managed,

and thus, it will slow down the rate of spread to further south, the path they are currently projected. And as the “dog detectives” master their craft, the research group will be challenging them to detect additional harmful predators, like the deadly plant pathogen, powdery mildew.

Stomp, squash and smash. Partnering with the National Association of Canine Scent Work, Feuerbacher and Dickinson will recruit teams of dogs and their owners to help detect spotted lanternfly eggs.

“This is a great opportunity for people to have fun with their dogs while also contributing back to their communities in a meaningful way,” Feuerbacher said. Dickinson encourages dog own-

ers to ignore the myths that certain dog breeds aren’t suitable for scent detection.

“There is plenty of research out there that indicates that all dogs can smell,” she said. “Maybe the ‘smooshy’-nosed dogs aren’t as good in the really hot weather to work for five hours straight, but they can definitely do it.”

Research has shown, Dickinson said, that scent training may also contribute to positive behavioral changes in dogs.

“At the completion of the study, we hope to have a strong network of handlers able to locate spotted lanternfly egg masses as a proof-ofconcept program, with the intent to create an enduring citizen-based detection program for this and other invasive species,” Dickinson said. “Put your training skills to work and help protect our vineyards, fruit orchards and flower gardens.”

Opening farms to visitors boosts nearby farms’ direct sales

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Farmers use many marketing strategies to diversify their incomes and stay in business. New research suggests that two of these strategies — agritourism and direct farm sales — complement one another when they occur within the same community.

The findings could help farmers and the local organizations that support them plan strategically for farm resilience and growth.

Using several data sources, including the U.S. Census of Agriculture, the researchers conducted an analysis at the U.S. county level to determine whether these activities detract from or reinforce one another, both within counties and across county lines. Specifically, they examined farm income generated from agritourism and direct sales, the extent to which they are correlated, and how these activities are geographically clustered.

They also analyzed several other variables known to influence farm income, including farm characteristics, farm-owner or operator characteristics, the type of farming practiced, and the socioeconomic conditions in the farm’s home county.

Agritourism, according to the U.S. Census of Agriculture, is defined as “agri-tourism and recreational services such as farm or winery tours, hay rides, hunting, fishing, etc.” Direct sales are those made directly from farmer to consumer, for example at a farm stand, farmers markets, “pick-your-own” operations, and through subscription-based ar-

rangements. Consumer interest in both activities has been on the rise, especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Schmidt.

The study, which was published this week in Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, helps to characterize the types of farms that engage in these activities. For example, the researchers found hotspots — clusters of farms engaging in agritourism and direct sales within the same county and neighboring counties — in the Northeast, coastal areas in the West, and counties around the Great Lakes.

The analysis also shows that female-operated farms are statistically more likely to engage in agritourism than in direct sales efforts.

The researchers cautioned about the study’s limitations, pointing to a need for more complete and thorough data related to agritourism and direct sales, given their growing importance to farm viability, rural community vitality and agricultural literacy.

Crawford Co. dairy producer opens up about mental health

HARRISBURG, Pa. — In the Center for Dairy Excellence’s latest episode of the “Cow-Side Conversations” podcast during Mental Health Awareness Month, Jess Peters of Spruce Row Farm in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, has a candid conversation about some of the thoughts and feelings that many dairy producers have about mental health.

From opening up about her own experience with depression to the barriers that many farmers have when it comes to talking about their struggles, she reminds listeners that they are not alone. Jess shares her story and how several of her platforms are helping the agriculture industry have a safe, anonymous space to unload their secrets and take some of the weight off their shoulders.

Jess opens the podcast by describing her family’s multi-generational dairy farm in Meadville, Pennsylvania. She and her brother are partners with their parents, where they milk approximately 250 Jersey cows and do their own cropping. Jess manages the calf care and overall herd health while her brother focuses on fieldwork and managing equipment.

Before coming back to her family farm, Jess received a degree in animal science at Penn State University.

“My dad’s stipulation was that if any of us wanted to come back to the farm, we had to leave first. He didn’t want us to feel like we were stuck here and this is what we had to do,” Jess shares in the podcast. “When I graduated from Penn State, I knew I wanted to come home to the farm, but I also didn’t want to do it then.”

She ended up traveling abroad to New Zealand and worked there for two years, where she learned about herself, how to live independently, and what her next steps in the agriculture world might be.

“I really had this epiphany moment. I was in New Zealand and fixing an electric fence. I looked up and thought about how this was the

most beautiful place I’ve ever been. I took a deep breath and my next thought was, ‘I’m ready to go home to the farm.’ It was a really transformative moment for me,” she says.

“Managerially, it’s hard to apply what I learned there because it was a very different system – it was a rotational, intense grazing system. But [that experience abroad] really just forced me to sit with myself. When you travel like that on your own, you learn a lot about yourself.”

Heaviness. Jess shares how she eventually returned home and began actively working on her family’s dairy operation. In 2016, she started noticing some underlying feelings that she — and others in the dairy industry — were experiencing but not talking about.

“I was feeling like everyone was hurting in the farming industry. You couldn’t quite put your finger on it. Nobody was talking about it. It just felt like everything was heavy,” she explains in the podcast. “For someone who can usually find the words pretty quickly, it took me three months to figure out how to say it. It’s not easy to do. It’s hard to post how I’m feeling, especially when I’m feeling really vulnerable.”

Jess embraced her vulnerability and decided to post a video of herself in the feed alley, talking about those uncomfortable feelings, on her farm’s social media page.

“A tractor breaks or a cow goes down. It usually starts as a physical problem. Then, all of a sudden, you realize you haven’t laughed in weeks or left the farm in months. You feel like you can’t talk about that because you feel like you can’t be vulnerable,” Jess shares as she reflects on her experience. “Agriculture instills in us that you just have to rub some dirt on it. You can talk about all the cow problems, but you don’t talk about yours. I made that point in the video. The response I got was overwhelming.”

The response included dozens of personal messages from other farm-

ers who were struggling. Jess continued to open up the mental health conversation by writing an article and admitting to times where she was depressed.

“Hearing a personal, firsthand account like that kind of gave others permission to admit to me, a complete stranger on the Internet, that they struggle, too. That’s what started me down the mental health road,” Jess adds.

Signs. Throughout the podcast, Jess opens up about some of the specific signs she ignored about feeling depressed, including an overall sense of numbness and a decrease in happy emotions.

“I think people assume there was a traumatic event that kicked off [the depression]. That can be true, but not always. It kind of snuck up on me. It wasn’t until I was out of college. I didn’t want to confront it. There’s such a stigma around it. You’re embarrassed. It’s so uncomfortable. I don’t think it was until I made that video that I realized how deep this went for me,” she shares. “Everyone thinks depression involves suicide and hiding in a dark room all day. Yes, that can be a severe type of depression. But depression can also be complete numbness. That can be almost as debilitating as suicidal thoughts. If you never feel the good or the joy, your mind doesn’t recognize that it’s even there.”

After continuing to share her journey, and receiving messages from farmers of every age and gender, Jess created a “Secrets of Agriculture” forum. The goal was to create a platform for farmers to anonymously fill out a form and share their secrets with her. With each individual’s permission, Jess re-shares the anonymous secrets on her channels to help others realize they are not alone.

“It’s by far the hardest, and my favorite thing, I’ve ever done. I’ve felt the power of unburdening and letting the weight off your shoulders [by sharing]. I wanted to give other people a way to do that,” she explains.

“The secrets are mind-blowing. Some of them are giant secrets, and some are ‘I worry more than I should.’ I feel like it’s truly helping people.”

While Jess says opening up about our struggles is a step in the right direction, she still thinks there are several gaps in the agriculture industry and barriers to getting help — a few being embarrassment, family dynamics and cost.

Suggestions. During the podcast interview, Jess offers suggestions for reducing the stigma around mental health and helping other dairy farmers who might be struggling:

• Listen to understand, not to fix.

“As farmers, we’re fixers. I don’t think we understand the value of just listening to someone. 90 percent of the time, I just want to say it out loud. I don’t expect you to fix it. Even if you can, I don’t necessarily want you to fix it. I just want you to hear me and understand how I’m feeling.”

• Be vulnerable with each other. “People feel safer to share their struggles when they see you struggle. The best way to help someone, if you’re brave enough to do it, is to share your own struggles and truly help someone.”

• Talk to others who understand. “Farming is hard to understand if you don’t already know it. New people coming into it really struggle. So, to find a therapist who understands both the mental health side of life and farming side of life, it’s almost impossible. I’m not saying you can’t find the right therapist, but I just think that’s a giant barrier in our world. There’s a step between someone realizing they’re struggling and going to find professional help. That [in-between step] is someone in the middle who you know, relate to and trust. You would rather talk to someone who is living it than go find a specialist on the Internet.”

• Realize you are not alone. “If someone pops into your brain and you’re thinking about them, sometimes it’s as easy as that. Send them

a message or reach out. That would be a good day [for me] because all day long, I would think ‘they thought of me.’ Something as simple as that can change someone’s day.”

• Change our thought process. “Working on your physical health does not mean you’re ill. It means you’re working to get stronger so you don’t get sick. I think the reason there’s such a stigma around mental health is that people associate it with mental illness. They are not the same thing.”

New campground opens at Shawnee State Park

STOUT, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has opened the highly anticipated Ohio River Campground at Shawnee State Park. This new space is not only a campground that boasts 80 full hookup sites, but also a hub full of activities for campers and members of the community.

There’s something for everyone in this renovated portion of the park. Families can enjoy a splash pad, Storybook trail, playground and outdoor fitness equipment, or a dog park for their four-legged friends.

Action-seekers will enjoy archery ranges, disc golf and even a bicycle pump track — a new take on traditional bike paths. Two miles of trails allow for a stroll or peddle around the area and a one-mile loop around the Little Ohio Paddling/Lazy River offers a leisurely time on the water.

Guests can enjoy hand-dipped ice

cream, rent a kayak or stock up on camping supplies at the newly remodeled camp store. Groups are welcome to use the nearby shelter house, complete with charcoal grill or rent an activity room within the marina.

There is also a public boat ramp, Ohio River fishing access, and transient and seasonal dock slips for boaters, along with gas and diesel sales at the marina.

The total cost of the project was $12.3 million.

Once the hunting grounds for the Shawnee tribes, the rugged landscape of the 1,095-acre Shawnee State Park offers outdoor adventurers an opportunity to explore the back country of southern Ohio’s Appalachian foothills near the banks of the Ohio River. This most recent project revitalizes more than 200 acres of the park.

Time travel, photos and my slight life of crime

“In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are and where we have come from.”

— Alex Haley

A few days ago, I time traveled on a sidewalk in Findlay, Ohio. This was my sixth, maybe seventh, stop of the day. I had spent the majority of the day lurking. There was also a fair amount of loitering. I have this to say about the good people of Findlay: they are either the most trusting souls or the worst neighborhood watch group ever.

My great-grandmother, Jeannette, was born in Findlay in 1902. She would live there until she went off to college — a feat for a female in 1920. She later married, and all of us descended from her would grow up elsewhere.

Nonetheless, Findlay loomed large in memories and stories. It is where her extended family remained. Some of them I haven’t “known” in any real capacity since I was a teenager. Most I never met at all.

Pilgrimage. My mother and I made a trip — a pilgrimage really — to visit Findlay, Ohio. We wanted to visit the various homes where ancestors had once lived. We had a plethora of addresses and family photos spanning more than a century.

We stood in front of a home that had been in the possession of some member of the family for well over a century up until recently. It now stood empty, having been purchased by a local university, in that way that progress often swallows up neighborhoods.

The vacancy is why I felt comfortable traipsing around the yard as if I did, in fact, own the place. I suppose that explaining that my great-great-grandfather had purchased it fair and square in 1914 wouldn’t hold much water with

Ohio native returns home, cultivates knowledge at garden school

By Nella Citino

COLUMBUS — Tisa Watts calls herself a gardening coach. If someone wants to learn how to start a “pizza” garden full of peppers and tomatoes, no problem. She is happy to walk you through it and check in when needed.

Watts is the founder and owner of the Columbus Garden School. She is also an educator and an expert on backyard biodiversity, as a horticulturalist with 20 years of experience.

Returning home. Originally from Cleveland, she has spent time on the West Coast as a landscape contractor, as well as an illustrator and technical writer in Silicon Valley. She returned to Ohio, knowing she wanted to start a school.

“It took two years of searching in and around Columbus to find the right place,” Watts said, “and I found it.”

The school is located on 2 acres in the middle of the city. It was once a small worship center that was transitioned to a home with a big classroom and plenty of room for a large demonstration garden, colorful beehives, many fruit vines and a prairie restoration area.

Watts has offered virtual and hands-on classes in gardening, pruning, seeds, composting, permaculture, raising chickens, beekeeping, herbalism and native plant propagation. Once the school was established, however, Watts became aware of the need for homesteading training for food preservation and basic construction workshops for women.

“They are hugely popular,” she said. Finding her place. Getting to this point in her life was hardly easy. She spent years in a cubicle illustrating technical designs for tech startups in San Francisco, but then would go home and spend all her free time in her garden.

“We’re not meant to feel like caged animals,” she said, referring to her life in the cubicle.

Once she realized where she needed to be, she went back to school and got a degree in landscape design and horticulture.

“It has rocked my world for the last 25 years,” she said.

Establishing the school has taken time.

“My wife has supported me through this and has paid the bills while I have established the school,” she said.

Watts has a holistic approach to growing.

“It’s not just gardening,” she said. “I see people change as they learn. I see a certain confidence emerge. It may look like I’m focusing on growing plants, but I like to see people grow, too.”

Just as Watts likes to nurture plants and people, she is also an advocate for native plants and reverting chemically created lawns back to prairie and flowers, which are attractive to native bees and birds.

“I see such a desire to make things better in our natural world, and it is a big trend in gardening,” Watts said. “It is absolutely better gardening.”

AG Yost recovers donations from phony charity

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Under a settlement reached with the Ohio Clean Water Fund, a sham charity must turn over more than $131,000 in pocketed donations so the money truly does benefit East Palestine residents, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced.

“I stand by my word to fight for the community of East Palestine,” AG Yost said. “We sued to make sure the contributions improperly solicited from well-intentioned donors get into the hands of people who will use them for their intended purposes. Our fight isn’t over, but this is a win.”

Yost’s initial lawsuit alleged that the Ohio Clean Water Fund, while claiming to be operating on behalf of Second Harvest Food Bank, raised more than $141,000 to provide bottled water and emergency aid to the residents of East Palestine following the February train derailment disaster.

The food bank had not given OCWF permission to fundraise on its behalf, and Yost’s lawsuit revealed that the “charity” had pocketed at least $131,000 of the donated funds, while sending only $10,000 to the food bank.

The settlement includes a dismissal of the claims against the OCWF and one of its board members, Patrick Lee.

Under the agreement, the following requirements must be met:

• The Ohio Clean Water Fund must pay $131,904.88, including $116,904.88 in restitution and $15,000 in civil penalties.

• The Ohio Clean Water Fund must dissolve.

• Lee is barred from being a board member of or soliciting money for a charity in the future.

Yost’s lawsuit remains active against OCWF creator Michael Peppel as the office works to finalize details of an agreement that will protect the charitable sector from any similar misconduct by Peppel and others involved in this scheme.

The Attorney General’s Office plans to disburse recovered funds to Second Harvest Food Bank, the state beneficiary. Ohioans who suspect misuse of charitable funds or fraudulent fundraising activities should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 800282-0515 or charitable.ohioago.gov.

Gardening tips. Watts said it’s easy to add shrubs like chokeberry. It is a native of the area, and the berries are edible. She also suggests ninebark, which is a hardy bush that offers foliage in a variety of colors as well as flowers that attract pollinators.

Dogwood is another shrub she suggests, but she advises that although there are a multitude of varieties, they can get fairly big. Also, the dogwood tree is an Asian species and not native to the area.

As she invests in her business and the concept of a gardening school, her workday never ends. People stop by and ask questions, and Watts is only too happy to showcase her garden and talk about options and ideas. This success has developed over time, but it was during the pandemic when everything went virtual

and Watts cashed in on the opportunities.

Watts has some advice as most gardens enter the summer season. First and foremost, water the plants every day. Everything may appear green and healthy, but it’s easier to keep plants healthy than try to resurrect them later in the season.

Second, take inventory of your resources. This includes plants, tools, and spaces. Fix what’s broken and throw away what does not work.

And finally, find a place to sit and admire your garden and your work. Get a comfortable chair, a cool drink, a book and a place in the shade.

Gardening is therapeutic, Watts said, but it’s hard work. You need to give yourself credit and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Pennsylvania ice cream trail in sixth year

SHAVERTOWN, Pa. — This summer, Pennsylvanians and visitors can beat the heat and get a sweet treat by visiting any of the 42 creameries that make up the 2023 Scooped: An Ice Cream Trail.

Launched in 2018, the trail is a partnership of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and its PA Preferred program, DCED’s Tourism Office, and the Center for Dairy

Excellence. The program is a way to support Pennsylvania’s more than 5,200 dairy farm families and the small businesses that source from them while offering a unique opportunity to explore the commonwealth by the scoop.

This year, trail-goers can plan their adventures and learn about participating creameries virtually at visitPA.com/scooped. The most

dedicated dairy lovers can even earn a commemorative stainless-steel ice cream scooper by accruing 600 points on their digital passport. Each ice cream shop check-in is worth 100 points. Simply stop in at six shops, make your purchase, and receive a four-digit code to “checkin” and accrue your points this summer. June is also National Dairy

Month and is the cherry on top of the celebration. Pennsylvania has the second largest number of dairy farms in the U.S. and is ranked eighth in milk production nationally. The Pennsylvania dairy industry provides more than 47,000 jobs and supports the commonwealth’s economy to the tune of $11.8 billion annually. Pennsylvania continues to be a leader in the production of ice cream, butter,

and Swiss cheese.

Those who embark on the Ice Cream Trail are encouraged share every sweet stop #PursueYourScoops on visitPA.com’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.

The western Pennsylvania creameries participating in the trail include the following:

Betsy’s Ice Cream, 664 Washington Road, Mount Lebanon. Since 2012, Betsy’s Ice Cream has served homemade ice cream, frozen yogurt, shakes and other frozen treats. The hand-crafted ice cream starts with a custom-blended and all-natural base of the finest milk and cream from farms in the Pittsburgh area. With hundreds of varieties and 28 homemade ice cream, sorbet and yogurt flavors available daily, Betsy’s is guaranteed to have something to please every palate.

Note: Metered and/or garage parking required. A private lot, located near the intersection of Cedar and Florida, is available after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all-day Saturday and Sunday.

Kerber’s Dairy, 1856 Guffey Road, North Huntingdon. Kerber’s, a family owned and operated dairy store, sits on the last 70-acre parcel of the family’s original dairy farm. It is between Greensburg and Pittsburgh off U.S. Route 30. Ice cream has become its best-known and most requested product.

On any given day, about 40 different flavors are available. In a year’s time, Tom Kerber Jr. makes over 165 different flavors, depending on the season. Besides cones and cups, ice cream is served in sundaes, banana splits, and in milk shakes which visitors can enjoy in our covered patio, at the picnic tables, or inside in the restaurant section. Kerber’s is an agri-tourism facility and includes a playground and an 18hole mini-golf course.

The Sweet Anchor, 720 Venango Ave., Cambridge Springs. Located in the heart of small town Cambridge Springs, The Sweet Anchor works hard to incorporate its sweetness into the community they serve. This family owned and operated shop has been serving up sweet treats in Cambridge Springs since 2022. The Sweet Anchor is known for its creative weekly Signature Anchor Milkshakes. It also offers several different flavors of hard ice cream, soft serve ice cream, milkshakes, specialty sundaes, flurries and floats.

Windy Ridge Dairy, 457 North Tower Road, Fombell. This family owned and operated dairy farm processes milk from its 40 registered Jersey cows. From cones to milkshakes and farm fresh milk, Windy Ridge gives visitors a taste of home. Check out the farm’s Facebook page to catch the everchanging “Flavor of the Week.”

Time travel, photos and my slight life of crime

(Continued from Page B1)

the law, but I was willing to argue my case if necessary. I had never set foot inside 203 Trenton Ave., but it somehow felt like a homecoming. What I felt standing on that sidewalk was a connection. It suddenly clicked. A whole plethora of family photos — many memorized by me over the years as I marveled at 1918 fashions, or 1920’s hairstyles — were taken in THIS yard. THIS is the house glimpsed in the background. This place. My people. They lived. They were here.

House proud. A sweet second, possibly third, cousin texted, “Grandpa was very proud of his home.” I felt this bond with a man who, being house proud over a century ago, laid landscaping that remains to this day.

Her “Grandpa” was my greatgreat grandfather. He died nearly three decades before I was born. The lovely Myrtle, his wife, stood proudly in front of a glorious cascade of rose bush in a photo taken decades earlier. My mother dutifully stood in the same spot for a snapshot.

The rose bush is a stub barely breaking through the ground. The fence is gone. The background, a neighboring house, remains unchanged.

I freely and of my own free will admit that I embarked on my first ever foray into a life of crime: I took a rock. I have no way of knowing if my grandparents had that exact stone during their time there, but I would like to think they did. It’s at my home now.

For the record, I have my eye on that rosebush too. I hope I didn’t just make all of my readers an accessory to a crime.

Same. Across town, on another sidewalk, I pulled out a photo I have enjoyed over the years. Young Jeannette, perhaps 5 years old, being pulled in a wagon by her Aunt Mollie.

We know they lived at both 605 and 609 Cherry St. I stood in front of 609 and held up that 1907 photo and knew. Instantly, I was in the right place. The view was the same, with a few more houses and a different sidewalk, but still, it was undeniable. This was the spot where they had stood 116 years earlier on another sunny day.

What drew me to this place? What is this pull to stand where they stood? To see the sunlight slant across the landscape in the way they did? Their existence lives on with us. We feel bonded in a way that is bigger than the limit of geography and time.

Although I’ve never met George J., George E. or George R., respectively (and in that order), Myrtle, Edith or Henry, I love them. I belong to them. Peering into the many family photos and clippings, I feel like I know them.

I believe we have our ancestors threaded through our blood and bones: a cowlick here, a dimple there. Boywonder’s jaw. Girlwonder’s eyes. Sometimes it feels like I still have pieces of my childhood — and those of my ancestors — embedded in my soul.

Now Here’s A Tip

By Jo Anne Derson

• Purchase a large tub of cookie dough, and when you make the first batch, go ahead and portion out the remaining dough by teaspoons onto a cold cookie sheet. Freeze as balls, and then replace them in the container they came from. Refreeze. Now you can take out only as many cookies as you would like to make, and cook them straight from frozen.

• “This is a tip for painting stairs. Paint every other stair. Let them dry. Then paint the other stairs. This will make your staircase usable the whole way through your paint job.”

— R.L. in Michigan

• Spray old artificial flowers with hair spray to make the look fresh and vibrant.

• Many food containers can be reused to store personal items. Glass jars can be cleaned and labels removed. Paperboard boxes can be custom trimmed and covered with leftover wrapping paper or wallpaper. Paper milk cartons can be cleaned with soap and water, dried thoroughly then painted to hold a variety of items. Don’t overlook the many possibilities in a piece of recycling or trash.

• Use plain household vinegar to kill grass that grows in the cracks of walkways and driveways.

• “Use bathroom fans appropriately. Make sure to turn them off. They vent air to the outside, and that includes your paid-for air conditioning, too. Close the bathroom door after showering and let the fan run for about 10 minutes. Then turn it off.”

The 2023 Vineyard Expansion Assistance Program is now open to new and existing Ohio vineyards. VEAP allows wineries to invest in and plant highquality, high-value grapes onsite instead of purchasing them from other states.

The VEAP is an incentive program created and funded by the Ohio Grape Industries Committee. Due to the small number of grapes produced in Ohio, many wineries, farmers’ markets, and retailers are forced to purchase grapes of several different varieties from other states in order to meet production needs. VEAP is designed to provide a more stable source of high-quality, highvalue grapes grown in Ohio. Additionally, the program will allow for more Ohio wines to qualify for the Ohio Quality Wine program and increase consumer awareness of Ohio’s premier wines made from Ohiogrown grapes.

The VEAP funding will cover the cost of the grape vines planted. Each grower may apply for up to $1,500 per half-acre with a maximum of three acres, or $9,000. Only growers in Ohio may apply for the assistance and the planting must occur in the spring of 2024.

Applications must be completed and received by the OGIC by July 7. To receive a copy of the application, contact Christy Eckstein at christy. eckstein@agri.ohio.gov.

Committee aims to place monuments in Alliance

ALLIANCE, Ohio — The Alliance Memorial Park Project Committee is working to make the park a true memorial site by placing monuments to the veterans of each conflict inside the park.

Spearheaded by Alliance Mayor Alan Andreani and Sid Zufall, a member of the Hometown Heroes Committee, the project started in the fall of 2021 when Alliance’s veterans groups placed a monument at Memorial Park in

honor of the veterans of Vietnam.

The committee is proposing four more monuments to be placed in honor of veterans from World War I, World War II, Korea and the War of Terror.

Those who would like to contribute to the project are encouraged to send checks with “Memorial Parks Monument” written on the memo line to the Greater Alliance Foundation, P.O. Box 2284, Alliance, OH 44601.

Silver plate popular in Victorian era

KOVELS® Antiques

& Collecting

By Terry and Kim Kovel

This silver on copper “bisquit jar” is a classic Victorian piece. It uses an old spelling for “biscuit,” a British-English term. In present day American English, we would call it a cookie jar.

Silver and silver plate were popular in the Victorian era. Almost every type of food had its own specific serving dish or utensil made of silver.

“Old Sheffield” refers to a special kind of silver plate made in Sheffield, England, in the 18th century. The silver was hand-rolled in sheets over copper. Most silver plate made in the 19th century is electroplated.

This jar may not be Old Sheffield silver, but it was made in the city of Sheffield. It sold for $270 at a Selkirk auction. Its pelican hallmark identifies it as the work of Thomas Wilkinson’s firm, which received a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in the 1840s.

Q: When I was young, my mother made braided rugs from old wool coats. I braided the strips of fabric she created from the coats. Two large rugs that we made have been in daily use for 85 years and show very little wear. I am now 90. I might sell them and would like to know what they

are worth. Do they have any resale value?

A: There’s a rich history of braided rug making in the United States that began in the American colonies. The craft was inspired by Native American weaving techniques. The process is the same way the settlers recycled and repurposed worn clothing into rugs, giving them a new, useful purpose. Large handmade rugs similar to yours have recently sold for $65 to $175.

Norfolk Southern donates EP historic train depot

Highlights include living history demonstrations, live lumberjack competitions presented by Timberworks Lumberjack Show, Great Lakes Brewing Company’s “Hop College,” Ray McNeices’ Johnny Appleseed and Perry Ground from the Onondaga Nation. There will also be a selection of food vendors.

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Norfolk Southern Corporation recently unveiled plans to donate the company’s historic East Palestine Train Depot to the village. Acknowledging the significance of this landmark, Norfolk Southern will restore and upgrade the exterior of the building. The interior will be turned into a blank space so the community may shape the future development of this property according to its own vision. Norfolk Southern will provide a $100,000 grant to support the village’s continued development of the space.

The renovation of this historic landmark signifies a milestone toward the village’s goal to revital-

ize the area while preserving and paying homage to its rich heritage. Located in the heart of East Palestine, on Market Street near the downtown area, the train depot holds a central position within the community.

The depot dates back to the 1890s, but has remained dormant over the course of several decades. Norfolk Southern’s ownership of the train depot originated from the acquisition of the rail line that runs through East Palestine in 1998.

Norfolk Southern plans to begin renovations in late August or early September and expects to complete renovations by summer 2024.

YOUNGSTOWN — In partnership with Youngstown CityScape and the city of Youngstown, the Mahoning Valley Historical Society is hosting “Happy Birthday, Youngstown,” June 22.

Hello from Hazard!

Tom Strickling, of New Philadelphia, Ohio, says Items No. 1249 are balloon molds that were dipped into latex. “Slightly bigger on the ‘stem end’ which made a piece that was slightly larger in diameter. This part is rolled down to create the ring on the end where you inflate the balloon,” Tom said.

Randy Winland, of Prospect, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1249. Randy said Tom is correct. The items are a pair of balloon molds — dipped in melted latex rubber, then allowed to dry after which the balloon would be taken off the mold.

Mercy Health expands rural health care access in valley

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Mercy Health is expanding access to rural health care in the Mahoning Valley. Walk-in care is now available at Mercy Health — East Palestine Primary Care and virtual specialty care sites are available at Mercy Health — East Palestine Primary Care and Mercy Health — Sebring Primary Care.

Mercy Health — East Palestine Primary Care is seeing walk-in patients Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. These walk-in visits are equivalent to an appointment with a primary care provider, with the added benefit of not having to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

In addition, Mercy Health developed new virtual specialty care clinics within Mercy Health — East Palestine Primary Care and Mercy Health — Sebring Primary Care, where patients can have virtual appointments with their specialty care providers from the convenience and comfort of their primary care practices. Right now, these virtual specialty clinic appointments are available to oncology and cardiology patients.

Each location has specific rooms that are equipped with virtual conferencing technology to enable patients to interact with their specialty provider, while having a medical assistant on-site. These are typically follow-up or consultation appointments, and if blood work or other testing is necessary, that can be done on-site within the primary care office.

Buy a tree in a pot or balled and burlapped?

By Jeff Rugg

If selected as the program’s overall winner, Finsley will spend the next year representing Distinguished Young Women across the country through various appearances and promoting the program’s national outreach initiative of Be Your Best Self. The outreach program is designed to combat major issues facing children today including childhood obesity and high school drop out rates, as well as encourage young people to take an active interest in their communities through service.

Finsley is a 2023 graduate of Columbiana High School and the daughter of Heather and Martin Finsley. Heather is a copy editor and proofreader at Farm and Dairy

Q. We have been looking at some shade trees at a few nurseries and have a question. Is it better to buy a tree in a large pot or one that is already dug up and is what they call “balled and burlapped”?

A. As a general rule, I would say it shouldn’t matter as long as the tree appears healthy otherwise. Just because it is in a pot or is balled and burlapped now doesn’t mean it has always been growing this way.

Nurseries can start new trees using seeds, cuttings or grafting. Seeds are collected, given the proper treatment to start growth and then they are planted. I will come back to planting in a minute. If you have a tree with a characteristic that you want to make sure stays the same, you can take cuttings from the tree. The small pieces are planted and if they grow their own roots, you have new trees that are clones of the original tree. If they don’t grow roots, the pieces can be grafted onto seedling trees that do have their own roots.

All three sources of new trees can be planted into small pots. They can be sold soon afterward as inexpensive little trees, or they can be moved up to larger pots and sold as 5-foot-tall trees in a five-gallon pot. Over a couple of years, they can be moved into really large 50-gallon pots and be 20 feet tall.

The three types of small trees can be planted in farm fields and sold by digging them up as needed and to thin them out for better spacing. When growing conditions are proper for digging, extra trees may be dug up and transferred into pots.

During their lives, the trees you are looking at may have always been in pots or the field or they may have been transferred between the two. During the summer, the potted tree may have all its roots and be easy for the nursery to take care of. A burlapped tree was probably dug when it was dormant and moved from the field to the nursery, and a good nursery will be watering and taking care of it.

Because all plants have a balance between the top and bottom, the recently dug up tree will have fewer roots and therefore smaller and fewer leaves.

Usually, burlapped trees are larger than potted trees, but not always. The larger tree makes a bigger visual impact in the landscape and may be worth the extra cost. I have planted giant trees that were in large wooden crates and required a crane to move. The instant impact was obvious.

You will spend time or money: time waiting for a small tree to grow or money on a large tree. Research has shown that three-inch trunk diameter trees planted with 10-inch trunk diameter trees of the same species were both 13 inches in diameter in 10 years. The smaller trees recovered from transplanting sooner and grew to match the other trees in a decade.

In either case, when you get the tree home it is wise to wash off the root system to see what the roots are doing. A healthy root system has roots radiating out from the trunk in all directions. A root system that wraps around and around in a pot (or former smaller pot) needs to be unwrapped. Otherwise, the roots may strangle each other or the trunk as they grow in diameter. Also, remove any pots, burlap and ropes when you plant the tree.

Honeybee health blooms at federal facilities across the United States

By Mark Pratt

Associated Press

CONCORD, N.H. — While judges, lawyers and support staff at the federal courthouse in Concord, New Hampshire, keep the American justice system buzzing, honeybee hives on the building’s roof are playing their part in a more important task — feeding the world.

The Warren B. Rudman courthouse is one of several federal facilities around the country participating in the General Services Administration’s Pollinator Initiative, a government program aimed at assessing and promoting the health of bees and other pollinators, which are critical to life on Earth.

“Anybody who eats food needs bees,” said Noah Wilson-Rich, cofounder, CEO and chief scientific officer of the Boston-based Best Bees company, which contracts with the government to take care of the honeybee hives at the New Hampshire courthouse and at some other federal buildings.

Bees help pollinate the fruits and vegetables that sustain humans, he said. They pollinate hay and alfalfa, which feed cattle that provide the meat we eat. And they promote the health of plants that, through photosynthesis, give us clean air to breathe.

Yet the busy insects that contribute an estimated $25 billion to the U.S. economy annually are under threat from diseases, agricultural chemicals, and habitat loss that kill about half of all honeybee hives annually. Without human intervention, including beekeepers creating new hives, the world

could experience a bee extinction that would lead to global hunger and economic collapse, WilsonRich said.

The pollinator program is part of the federal government’s commitment to promoting sustainability, which includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting climate resilient infrastructure, said David Johnson, the General Services Administration’s sustainability program manager for New England.

The administration’s program started last year with honeybee hives at 11 sites.

Some of those sites are no longer in the program. Hives placed at the National Archives building in Waltham, Massachusetts, last year did not survive the winter.

Since then, other sites were added. Two hives, each home to thousands of honeybees, were placed on the roof of the Rudman building in March.

The program is collecting data to find out whether the honeybees, which can fly 3 to 5 miles from the roof in their quest for pollen, can help the health of not just the plants on the roof, but also of the flora in the entire area, Johnson said.

“Honeybees are actually very opportunistic,” he said. “They will feed on a lot of different types of plants.”

The program can help identify the plants and landscapes beneficial to pollinators and help the government make more informed decisions about what trees and flowers to plant on building grounds.

Best Bees tests the plant DNA in the honey to get an idea of the plant diversity and health in the

area, Wilson-Rich said, and they have found that bees that forage on a more diverse diet seem to have better survival and productivity outcomes.

Other federal facilities with hives include the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services headquarters in Baltimore; the federal courthouse in Hammond, Indiana; the Federal Archives Records Center in Chicago; and the Denver Federal Center.

The federal government isn’t alone in its efforts to save the bees. The hives placed at federal sites are part of a wider network of about 1,000 hives at home gardens, businesses and institutions nationwide that combined can help determine what’s helping the bees, what’s hurting them and why.

The General Services Administration’s Pollinator Initiative is also looking to identify ways to keep the bee population healthy and vibrant and model those lessons at other properties — both government and private sector — said Amber Levofsky, the senior program advisor for the administration’s Center for Urban Development.

“The goal of this initiative was really aimed at gathering location-based data at facilities to help update directives and policies to help facilities managers to really target pollinator protection and habitat management regionally,” she said.

And there is one other benefit to the government honeybee program that’s already come to fruition: The excess honey that’s produced is donated to area food banks.

Fed. regulators promise a safety review at all the major freight railroads

By Josh Funk AP Business Writer

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Federal Railroad Administration recently completed a review of Norfolk Southern’s safety culture in the wake of the February’s fiery derailment in Ohio, and officials plan to follow up with similar investigations of all the major freight railroads over the next year.

A report will be released soon on what investigators found at Norfolk Southern after the Feb. 3 derailment — which prompted the evacuation of half of East Palestine, Ohio — and several other recent derailments. That crash near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border sparked intense interest in railroad safety nationwide and prompted proposed reforms in Congress.

The head of the FRA, Administrator Amit Bose, said in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently that in addition to individual reports on Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Kansas City, the agency will also produce an industrywide report on common issues and trends.

Railroad unions have been raising concerns that operating changes the railroads have made over the past six years have made the trains that haul hazardous materials and goods of all kinds across the country more dangerous.

The unions say the deep staff cuts railroads have made, combined with their increasing reliance on longer trains, have increased the chance of safety problems. They say inspections are being rushed, preventative maintenance may be neglected and overworked employees are more likely to be fatigued.

The railroads have defended their practices and said they haven’t sacrificed safety to become more efficient. The industry also emphasizes that it remains the safest way to transport hazardous materials over land. Norfolk Southern and all the major railroads have announced a number of steps they are taking to improve safety though regulators, and lawmakers have called for them to do more.

Federal regulators have said that safety data hasn’t changed enough to show that the railroads’ new operating model is unsafe. The figures do show that the rate of accidents per every million miles freight trains travel increased from 15.572 to 16.695 over the past decade even though the total number of incidents declined as railroads hauled less freight. The rate of accidents inside railyards also worsened from 11.044 in 2013 to 15.517 last year.

There have also been concerns raised about the safety of today’s long trains that routinely stretch more than two miles. Bose said that the FRA recently warned railroads to be careful about the way they assemble long trains to reduce the risk of derailments.

The freight railroads favor longer trains because they allow them to deliver the same amount of freight with fewer crews and locomotives.

Series explores life of Warren Packard

WARREN, Ohio — National Packard Museum will present the second and final part of the lecture series, “Warren Packard: Patriarch and Entrepreneur,” June 24. This one-hour educational program is open to the public and free with paid admission to the museum. The program begins promptly at 12:15 p.m.

Few recognize his name today, let alone realize all he accomplished, but a century ago, Warren Packard was revered as one of the most important figures in early Mahoning Valley history. Part two of this series chronicles Warren Packard’s illustrious, yet often precarious, career in the timber and lumber industries.

In 1862, Warren Packard and a business partner purchased a sawmill in Braceville Township and entered the lumber business. Two years later, he purchased a planing mill to manufacture finished lumber products and building materials. That same year, he struck it rich, winning a very lucrative contract to furnish

Free Tai Ji Quan classes for seniors

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Mahoning County Public Health is sponsoring a free falls prevention program for seniors. Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance is an evidence-based 24-week structured falls prevention program that improves muscle strength, balance, flexibility and mobility to reduce the risk for falls.

During the twice a week program, participants will meet for one hour and each session will consist

of three parts: a brief Tai Ji Quan (pronounced tye gee chuwan) based warm up, the core program emphasizing variations of the 8-form core program and concluding with a brief cool-down exercise.

No prior experience is necessary, and the class is ideal for older adults and people with a history of falls, balance disorders, leg muscle weakness, abnormal gait or walking difficulties.

The program takes place on Mon-

day and Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Jackson Township Community Room, 10613 Mahoning Ave., North Jackson.

The twice-a-week program takes place for 24 weeks and is scheduled to end in November 2023.

The program is offered free of charge, but registration is required. Participation in the program needs to begin by June 28 at the latest. For more information or to register, call 330-270-2855, ext. 109 or 117.

The two boys were excited to spend time together, and I had a break from the constant exploration. The first thing on the boys’ list was fishing. After catching a few stick bass and perfecting the art of casting in the wrong direction, they decided to swim instead. The water temperature was of no concern when the air temperature rose above

Ohio has 124,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie water, and 481 miles of the Ohio River. At $25 for a resident one-year license, fishing is a cost-effective and accessible outdoor recreational activity. Youth under the age of 16 can fish for free, and all Ohio residents can fish without purchasing a license during Free Fishing Days, June 17-18. All size and daily limits apply during these two days.

The Division of Wildlife has numerous resources available to assist anglers, including lake maps, fishing tips by species, and fishing forecasts. Many of these resources are available right at your fingertips with the HuntFish OH mobile app. Fishing regulations and an interactive fishing map can be located with ease from any mobile device. For more information on fishing tips and forecasts, go to wildohio.gov.

Here are a few areas in northeast Ohio anglers may want to visit.

Bass. Berlin Lake (Mahoning, Portage, and Stark counties): This lake has consistently seen an increase in largemouth bass and smallmouth bass abundances over the past five years. While the abundances have increased, the overall size structure of the populations hasn’t suffered.

The Division of Wildlife’s most recent electrofishing survey showed a high-quality size distribution of bass longer than 15 inches.

Crappie. Lake Milton (Mahoning County): Crappie fishing at Lake Milton often yields large fish. The Division of Wildlife conducted black crappie and white crappie population assessments at Lake Milton in 2022. Growth rates were high, with many crappie reaching 8 inches in length by two years of age. This is an established benchmark for quality crappie growth. Nearly a quarter of the sampled crappie population was longer than 10 inches. Plentiful and large crappie make Lake Milton a sure bet for spring action.

Saugeye. Atwood Lake (Carroll and Tuscarawas counties): Arguably the most consistent producer of quality saugeye, this lake should be on any saugeye angler’s destination list for 2023. Recent Division of Wildlife surveys point to a saugeye population that is more abundant than regional and statewide averages. A large proportion of the population sits in the desired 15- to 18-inch size range. Atwood Lake shows strong survival of its annually stocked saugeye.

Bluegill. Leesville Lake (Carroll County): Tucked in beautiful rolling landscapes, this reservoir has become a gem. Most notable are the large redear sunfish that have developed here. Presently, Leesville Lake has an abundant population of redear sunfish with many exceeding 9 inches in length. These chunky and

tasty panfish are sure to add some excitement to a scenic and relaxing fishing trip.

Channel catfish. East Reservoir (Summit County): Part of the Portage Lakes chain, East Reservoir is connected to West Reservoir and Turkeyfoot Lake, where the primary public boat launch is located. The Division of Wildlife sampled East Reservoir in 2022 for channel catfish and the results didn’t disappoint, with some channel catfish reaching 32 inches in length. Further, East Reservoir channel catfish are exhibiting exceptional growth rates and a large proportion of the sampled fish were longer than 20 inches.

Muskellunge. Pymatuning Lake (Ashtabula County): This mainstay of Ohio’s and Pennsylvania’s muskellunge fishery is currently firing on all cylinders. The Division of Wildlife and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission work in partnership to manage Pymatuning Lake’s fisheries. Spring muskellunge trap netting surveys have occurred annually on Pymatuning for the past 40 years. Twice in the last five years the spring surveys logged a new record for the number of muskellunge longer than 30 inches that were sampled. The surveys affirm that the lake’s muskellunge fishery is characterized by a high abundance of fish with plenty reaching trophy sizes. The Division of Wildlife encourages muskie anglers to report their catch in the Muskie Angler Log.

Demo company vows repairs after Pa. blast

Plenty to do at Alum Creek State Park

(Continued from Page C1)

90. I am usually picky about water temperature, preferring it to be nearly 80. The rising heat of the day changed my mind, and I took my stand-up paddle board out on the water.

Alum Creek Reservoir consists of 3,387 acres of water. We spent most of our time at the beach within the campground. The other beach located on the reservoir is the largest inland beach in Ohio’s state park system at 3,000 feet.

While on my paddleboard, I noticed many other boaters on the water. As a convenience to campers, the campground has its own boat launch. There are four other boat launches on the reservoir for public access to the water. Cheshire Road is the dividing line between no-wake in the northern end and unlimited horsepower to the south.

History. While driving to the campground, I couldn’t help but take notice of the unusual road names. Africa Road was named after a community in the 1840s that was active in the anti-slavery movement. A man named Samuel Patterson expanded his farm to provide a safe place for people passing through to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Years later, approximately thirty freed slaves from North Carolina settled on the land.

In the land’s earliest history, it

was home to Adena mound builders over 2,000 years ago. In the 1700s, members of the Delaware Indian tribe moved into the Alum Creek area. They were chased out of the Delaware River valley by the Iroquois Nation before settling on the land that later became the city of Delaware along the Olentangy River. They spoke the Algonquin language and had a similar culture. A 400-acre cornfield was located in what is now downtown Delaware.

The biggest change for Alum Creek occurred when Congress authorized the Flood Control Act of 1962. This opened the door for the construction of the dam in August of 1970. The dam would reduce flooding along Alum and Big Walnut creeks and even the Scioto and Ohio Rivers. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed the dam project in 1974, creating a reservoir now known as Alum Creek Lake.

After I told the two boys they could ride their bikes around but they had to be back before dark, my daughter made me laugh. She said our weekend camping was probably what it was like living in the 1980s. She was right and I wasn’t sad about it.

SPRINGDALE, Pa. (AP) — A blast of air and dust from the implosion of two smokestacks at a shuttered coalfired power plant in western Pennsylvania two weeks ago felled power poles and caused damage to nearby homes. But the demolition company is vowing full repairs.

The implosion at the Cheswick Generating Station in Springdale, a borough just northeast of Pittsburgh, occurred shortly after 8 a.m.

June 2, bringing the stacks down with a loud crash and a huge cloud of dust. One tower stood about 550 feet tall and the other 750 feet.

Controlled Demolition said in a statement that the chimneys fell “exactly where they were supposed to” and noise and vibration levels were “well below” allowable state environmental protection limits, KDKA-TV reported. But, the company said, the larger chimney’s steel liner “focused air pressure as it collapsed upon impact.”

Bruno Moretti, Allegheny County’s

emergency management coordinator, said the air blast broke windows and blew dust from the fallen stacks into homes. The surge also felled trees and several power poles and their wires, leading to a power surge that damaged electrical appliances such as stoves, furnaces, air conditioners, refrigerators and TVs, he said.

The company’s statement said repairs of “minor damages caused by the focused air pressure” had already begun and promised that they “will be fully completed to the satisfaction of each property owner affected,” KDKA-TV reported.

Moretti said he didn’t yet have a final report about how many people had reported damage, and more reports may be coming in. He said, however, that people he has talked to have had positive things to say about the company’s response.

“They were out cleaning up 15 minutes after the blast, getting streets open, they went around pressure-washing cars off, so in my eyes

they’re trying to do right,” Moretti said. “As long as they take care of the people, I don’t have a complaint. As far as I can tell right now, everybody’s pleased with their response.”

Video of the implosion recorded by Joe Kern shows the two smokestacks fall one after the other as a thunderous blast is heard. Dirt and debris cover the air as the smokestacks hit the ground, shaking the trees and powerlines in the area. Voices can be heard yelling as debris consumes the area following the collapse.

“They ruined everything,” Kern said in the video as he shows the debris on the roof of his home, yard and vehicle.

The Cheswick plant stopped making power in the spring of 2022 and has since been taken over by an environmental remediation firm.

New H2Ohio project in Medina County

LITCHFIELD, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Medina County Parks celebrated the completion of the new Litchfield Wetland Restoration Project.

The project, which is part of the H2Ohio Initiative, transformed a formerly farmed land into 80 acres of wetland. The wetland will filter out the nutrients that cause algal blooms before they flow into the Black River in Medina County.

The new wetland also features an ADA-accessible trail that runs 1.7 miles as well as a 200-foot-long boardwalk.

The wetland is along the East Branch of the Black River, which is 45 miles long and ultimately empties into the Lake Erie central basin.

ODNR awarded $900,000 to the Medina County Park District as part of the H2Ohio Initiative to restore the site. The park district then budgeted

$300,000 in capital improvement funds to work on public access amenities. For more information on the H2Ohio initiative, visit h2.ohio.gov.

Date night

When dating back in high school, the price of gas was cheap.

Two bits would buy a gallon and a Five would fill my Jeep.

The tickets at the Roxy were about a buck back then.

Two Cokes, a bag of popcorn, still left money from my Ten. Fifty years have come and gone. Now prices are sky high.

I ain’t got a lot of money. I’m a flat broke type of guy.

My wife and I got married back in 1991.

The preacher told me, “Date your wife and keep your marriage fun.”

I must admit it’s been too long since we were on a date.

My good friend told me, “Ask her now before it grows too late.”

On Friday, after lunch, I asked, “How ‘bout a date tonight?”

The astonished look she gave me was, “You sure you’re feeling right?”

A ton of bricks sure doesn’t have to hit me on the head, to remind me where I’m slacking, just a look from her instead. I hinted ‘bout a movie, even though they charge too much.

I was looking to impress her. Said, “This time we won’t go Dutch.”

So, we readied for the evening, mind made up, hell bent to go.

I even took a shower, only been a week or so.

Sixty dollars filled my Chevy’s hungry appetite!

We drove down to the movie house. The tickets took a bite!

The attendant took my Twenty, then I said, “Two tickets please.”

He needed five more dollars and demanded with such ease.

I stepped up to the snack bar. The prices almost out of reach.

‘Cuz the popcorn and the soda pop were five whole dollars each. Last of all a box of Goobers came in movie size.

Ten dollars for the chocolate covered peanuts sure ain’t wise. I’d spent a whopping hundred bucks before the movie showed.

My Mastercard was handy but was running overload! The Superheroes movie wasn’t bad, I must admit.

But, ain’t got much recollection ‘cuz I slept through most of it.

So, next time when I am thinking of a date night with my wife.

We’ll sit down on the porch swing, share a Coke and talk ‘bout life.

Fish for free across Ohio, June 17-18

COLUMBUS — Ohio’s annual free fishing days, June 17 and 18, provide all Ohio residents the chance to cast a line at hundreds of public fishing locations without the need for a license, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

This will be the only weekend of the year on which residents 16 and older can fish public waters without purchasing a fishing license. Anglers under 16 can fish for free year-round.

The annual free fishing days are an excellent opportunity for beginner and experienced anglers to try fishing in any of Ohio’s public waters, including Lake Erie and the Ohio River. All other fishing regulations, size requirements, and bag limits apply.

The Division of Wildlife’s oncea-year free fishing days aim to expand access to and participation in this popular summer activity. With no license fee this weekend and requiring minimal equipment, fishing is a great low-cost outdoor activity. Anglers are encouraged to introduce someone new to fishing and make lasting memories on the water.

Tips. Here are some tips for those just starting out:

• Keep the trip simple by considering a person’s age and skill level.

• Choose a pond, lake, or stream where beginners can easily catch a few fish.

• Use live bait to increase the odds

EQUINE CALENDAR

of catching a fish. Live bait is also more interesting for children.

• Bring a camera and snacks.

• Be patient. Be prepared to spend time untangling lines, baiting hooks, waiting for a bite, landing fish, and taking pictures.

The division of wildlife manages the fisheries of 124,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie, and Ohio’s portion of 481 miles of the Ohio River.

The division of wildlife works to improve spawning habitat, construct fish attractors and structures, and implement fishing regulations. In 2022, the agency stocked more than 52 million fish in Ohio waters. More

Wingfoot Lake opens accessible launch

MOGADORE, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. unveiled a new, Americans with Disabilities Act accessible kayak launch at Wingfoot Lake State Park. The launch was created through a $62,000 donation from Goodyear.

The new ADA-accessible kayak launch is a state-of-the-art structure. In addition to the launch, it features which a transfer bench for safe and easy transition from mobility device to kayak. The structure also allows people to keep their mobility devices near the launch throughout their visit.

In addition to the donation, Goodyear employees worked in the park as part of their annual week of volunteerism. Nearly 50 volunteers took to the park, painting, mulching, spreading stones and planting flowers.

This project was made possible by a grant from the Goodyear to the Ohio State Parks Foundation. Ohio State Parks Foundation founding member Fran Buchholzer, who’s part of the family that founded Goodyear, was instrumental in forging this partnership.

Conkel family donates

177 acres in Pike County

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife recently received a donation on behalf of Marion and Fred Conkel of 177 acres of land in Pike County for use as a public wildlife area.

The property was donated by Patricia Ann Conkel through her trust in honor of her husband Fred Conkel and his father Marion Conkel.

Marion and Fred Conkel Wildlife Area lies in Pike County, about 5 miles southeast of Waverly. The new wildlife area is off Straight Creek Road, south of State Route 335. The area comprises mostly wooded, steep terrain with abundant white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and squirrels. Former pastureland provides grassland habitat that benefits birds, butterflies, insects and rabbits.

Visitors to the property can use

old logging roads and trails to navigate. The division of wildlife will allow hunting on the property in the 2023-24 season through the Ohio Landowner-Hunter Access Partnership.

The division of wildlife is working on releasing maps and additional information about the property. Hunters are required to obtain a free daily access permit online or on the HuntFish OH mobile app before accessing the property. All Ohio Landowner-Hunter Access Partnership program rules apply.

The division of wildlife is interested in receiving property donations to serve as wildlife areas. Those wishing to donate property to the division of wildlife may call 800-9453543 during normal business hours. Qualified staff is available to assist interested parties through the donation process.

Funding will revitalize W.Va. sites

PHILADELPHIA — Communities in Brooke and Hancock County, West Virginia, will benefit from a $500,000 Brownfields assessment grant to the Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle. The grant funds will be used to assess former industrial properties for redevelopment and revitalization projects.

EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz joined a contingent of public and business officials for a ribbon-cutting at the new Pure Watercraft electric pontoon boat production facility at the Beech Bottom Industrial Park in Beech Bottom, West Virginia, where Brownfields funding was used as a catalyst for leveraged funds.

Working with the BDC, EPA

Brownfields funding was essential in remediating the site into what is now the Beech Bottom Industrial Park. The new facility will employ 100 workers which will contribute to the revitalization of the area.

Since 1997, EPA has awarded more than $48 million through 114 Brownfields grants in 43 West Virginia communities. To date, this funding has leveraged an additional $1.7 billion in public and private investment, returning 1,798 acres to readiness for reuse, and creating more than 5,400 new jobs.

For further information on the grants, brownfields news and events, and publications and links, visit the EPA Brownfields website at epa.gov/ brownfields.

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

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.
