USDA beefs up efforts to ensure accurate animal welfare claims on meat, poultry packaging

By Dee-Ann Durbin AP Business Writer

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said June 14 it hopes to weed out false or misleading animalwelfare claims on meat and poultry packaging with new guidance and testing.

The claims — such as “pastureraised,” “humanely raised,” and “raised without antibiotics” — are increasingly popular with consumers and allow producers to charge a premium.

Perdue “free range” chicken breasts with no antibiotics sell for $5.78 per pound at Walmart, for example; store brand chicken breasts without those claims sell for $2.79 per pound.

The seventh graders from Wooster’s Edgewood Middle School spent two days in May clearing debris, making brush piles and planting more than 1,000 trees at the Killbuck Marsh Wildlife Area. They were on an academic mission to find ways to help Killbuck recover from the derecho that roared through that area June 22 of last year.

They were also able to witness the release of a 1-year-old male beaver who had been cared for by Fran and Ron Kitchen, of Operation Orphan Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc., located at their home in Akron.

The beaver was a bit intimidated by the crowd of young people, so he hung around the person he knew on shore. When the students began boarding

A KEYSTONE

SPECIES

Beavers have huge impact on wetlands

the buses, he finally ventured into the marsh and began swimming around.

He climbed onto a tree stump that had been covered with dirt and mud by another beaver. “When he sniffed it, his tail slammed down with a very loud whack,” Fran said. “Then he jumped off and swam away.”

Keystone species. That was a good sign, she said. The tree stump had apparently been marked by another male beaver who left his scent in the dirt. The fact that the young beaver sounded the alarm with his tail shows he has developed survival instincts.

And that’s a good sign for Killbuck Marsh — or anywhere else that beavers can survive and thrive. Beavers are considered a keystone species; without them, wetland environments and populations of other species collapse.

“Beavers are the greatest wetland engineers we have,” said Dennis Solon, manager of the wildlife area. “They’re the only other species besides us that can change the environment.”

That ability to engineer wetlands is why Native Americans referred to them as “little people” and respected them as totem animals. It’s estimated that there were as many as 400

million beavers in North America when the first Europeans arrived.

Exploited and obliterated. Beavers were pretty much obliterated in Europe because their fur made the best felt and was coveted for the making of hats. Beaver hats were not only a fashion statement but a status symbol — including in the military — from 1550 to 1850 when they became passé in favor of silk hats.

When it was discovered that beavers were plentiful in the New World, they became the No. 1 resource to be exploited, ahead of gold, timber or anything else. Beaver pelts became currency, and the Hudson Bay Company and cities like Chicago were formed because of the fur trade.

Some historians say it was actually the quest for pelts that led to Europe-

Controlling the claims. Both meat producers and animal welfare advocates say the USDA isn’t adequately substantiating the claims or ensuring they meet consumer expectations. The USDA lets producers define some terms, including “humane,” which can lead to widely varying conditions for animals. Other claims like “free range” are clearly defined by the USDA, but some producers are skirting requirements.

The USDA must approve all animal welfare claims on meat and poultry labels before products can be sold. But unlike “organic” claims, which are verified in person by government regulators, animal welfare claims are substantiated with paperwork submitted to the USDA.

The USDA doesn’t have the regulatory authority to check animal welfare claims on farms, said Sandra Eskin, the USDA’s deputy undersecretary for food safety.

“There are plenty of companies out there that are following the law and many that are not, and that’s just not fair,” Eskin said.

Fixing the problem. Eskin said the USDA plans to update its guidelines to require more documentation from companies making animal welfare claims. It will also strongly

OPSB approves solar energy project in Clinton County

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Power Siting Board authorized Yellow Wood Solar Energy LLC to construct a 300 megawatt solar-powered electric generating facility in Clark and Jefferson townships, Clinton County.

Yellow wood. The Yellow Wood Solar project will consist of large arrays of photovoltaic modules, commonly referred to as solar panels, ground-mounted on a tracking rack system, as well as associated facilities including access roads, an operations and maintenance building, underground and overhead electric collection lines, weather stations, inverters and transformers, a collection substation, and a 345 kilovolt generation interconnect electric transmission line. The project will occupy approximately 2,460 acres within a 4,400acre project area.

The OPSB adopted 34 conditions agreed to buy Yellow Wood Solar, the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, and the OPSB staff that the developer must adhere to in order to minimize and mitigate potential impacts during construction and operation of the facility.

Yellow Wood Solar must install agricultural style fencing; implement setbacks of 150 feet to roadways, 150 feet to adjoining non-participating property boundaries, and 300 feet to non-participating homes; and post a decommissioning bond estimated at

$14,115,364.

Birch. In separate business, the OPSB denied applications for rehearing filed by Birch Solar, LLC and jointly filed by intervenors Allen Auglaize Coalition for Reasonable Energy and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local Union 32 regarding the OPSB’s decision to deny a certificate to construct the proposed Birch Solar Project in Allen and Auglaize counties.

South Branch. The OPSB also denied the application for rehearing filed by Travis Bohn regarding the OPSB’s decision to grant a certificate to construct the South Branch Solar facility in Hancock County.

Finally, the OPSB extended, by three additional years, the expiration date of its 2020 approval of the Columbia Gas of Ohio Marysville Connector Pipeline Project in Union County.

Additional information about OPSB decisions is available at OPSB. ohio.gov. Copies of these OPSB orders will be available in case numbers 20-1680-EL-BGN (Yellow Wood Solar) and 20-1605-EL-BGN (Birch Solar), 21-0669-EL-BGN (South Branch Solar), and 19-2148-GA-BLN (Columbia Gas).

A recorded webcast of this OPSB meeting is available on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/user/ PUCOhio.

Ohio farm receives federal loan

WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture is making investments that will create new and better markets for agricultural producers and food businesses in 19 states across rural America.

THE USDA is making investments worth $320 million to strengthen food supply chains and create more

opportunities for producers and entrepreneurs in 19 states.

In Ohio, Arlington Valley Farms LLC, of Hudson, Ohio, will receive $21,200,000. This Rural Development investment will be used to help Arlington Valley Farms purchase land and existing buildings that are currently being leased.

In addition, funds will also be used to add warehousing, processing and cooling/freezing space. The renovation will also add two fully automated production lines to increase capacity. The proposed project would allow AVF to increase the business’s frozen meal capacity by 192 million meals per year.

encourage companies to hire thirdparty verification groups, such as Human Farm Animal Care, a nonprofit organization in Virginia that certifies animal welfare claims.

To substantiate “no antibiotics” claims, the USDA also plans to explore new testing that can find traces of antibiotics in animals once they arrive at processing plants.

Eskin said the agency may also update definitions of certain claims, a change some producers have been pressing for.

Perdue Foods, a major poultry and pork producer, recently asked the USDA to clarify the difference between “free range” and “pasture

raised.” The agency uses the terms interchangeably, Perdue said, even though “free range” chickens may roam in dirt or shrubs and not necessarily pasture.

Documentation lacking. The nonprofit Animal Welfare Institute, which monitors animal welfare claim submissions to the USDA, found that 85% of the 97 claims it reviewed had inadequate documents substantiating the claims.

“A lot of the substantiation is a sentence or two: ‘I raise my animals humanely,’” said Dena Jones, director of the Animal Welfare Institute’s farmed animal program. “It is wholly inadequate.”

Jones said the USDA has been

overwhelmed with new claims as producers try to meet consumer demand for higher animal welfare standards. Last year, Eskin said the government received more than 120 label applications each week.

But Jones praised the steps the USDA is taking, especially its move toward promoting third-party verification.

“It benefits the animals, the earth, the farmers who are spending more money to improve their practices and it benefits the USDA because it makes their process easier,” Jones said.

90 years ago this week. The Frederick Dairy Company, of Youngstown, was sold at receiver’s sale to about 150 farmers in Mahoning and Columbiana counties and will be operated as the Triangle Dairy company with A.A. Curtis, of Youngstown, as manager.

50 years ago this week. A Center Township youth escaped injuries Friday when a tractor-loader, which he was operating, overturned and caught fire at 1:50 p.m. at his home just south of Carrollton. Paul Nelson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nelson, was mowing when the tractor overturned and caught fire.

25 years ago this week. New Castle, Pennsylvania, dairy farmer Paul Lawrence concentrates his efforts on breeding and registered Holstein and Red and White cattle. His dedicator pays off with herd averages that keep him atop the PA DHIA ranks in Lawrence County.

Bobbing in these blue seas are islands of fair-haired Swedes hiking, biking, boating and walking on or alongside the wharf of the city’s best people-watching street, Strandvägen. The bright yellow Nordic cross on waving Swedish flags adds to the luster.

Stockholm. And right there, in a city so bright, so elegant, and so welcoming that you fall in love with it, you promise perfect strangers that you will return to “Paris of the North.”

They understand; everyone, after all, speaks English and everyone seems to enjoy the city as much as you. It’s the perfect gateway to Scandinavia, a loosely-defined region that a local guide assures us means only Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

After a four-day soak in Stockholm’s warm sun, tasty food and numerous museums, we take a short flight to Oslo, Norway’s capital, for two more days of walking, ferry riding and sauna sitting.

Oslo. Our traveling clan — six of us including a three-year-old granddaughter — isn’t the only international group in the city. NATO defense ministers from nearly 30 nations have taken over Oslo’s historic center for an “informal” meeting. Local police, guard dogs, and armed soldiers — all stiffly formal — are on street corners and atop buildings.

Even at that, Oslo is as walkable as Stockholm with few hills, much shoreline, gleaming museums and sunny public spaces. Most grassy parks are crowded with sunbathers soaking in June’s 20 hours of daily

Troll Country sites. Soon we’re rocking gently on the train a few hours northwest to rural Dombås, where another train takes us further north to Åndalsnes on the famous Rauma railway. A fellow passenger informs us that we’re entering “troll country” and granddaughter Nora warns all when a welcoming conductor encourages her to sound the train’s whistle.

Troll Country’s towering mountains, sturdy stone bridges, and snow-fed waterfalls come so fast there isn’t time for both an “Ooh!” and an “Ahh!” before the next breathtaking sight comes around the bend.

Throughout the narrow, shadowshrouded valleys are farms whose chief crop, grass, is fodder for sheep, goats and a few cattle. Stately, threestory red barns are testament to long winters when the livestock, like their owners, are forced inside.

Soon the lush meadows give way to more fjords and more memories. For the next four days we rest, hike in the nearby Sunnmøre Alps, peer over Geiranger Fjord and kayak a bathtub-smooth, 1,000-foot deep Storfjorden.

I ask our kayak keeper if the locals fish the mountainous fjord. “Yes,” he replies, “but it’s better fishing at the ocean” — an hours-long cruise down the lengthy fjord — “where the water is less deep.”

Norway: Where the ocean is deep but fjords are deeper.

Bergen. Revived, we board a 44foot palace of a boat for a breathtaking, three-hour trip down Hjørundfjorden to rainy Ålesund and then a short flight south to Bergen, Norway’s second largest city and its first capital.

Landing in Bergen is worth the price of any airline ticket. Everywhere you look, there are too many islands to count surrounded by the

Alan Guebert Farm & Food File

dark North Sea and ships of every make and nationality — colorful oil tankers, massive cruise ships, gray coast guard cutters, sleek sailboats with billowing spinnakers and working fishing trawlers.

After checking into our hotel, little Nora takes charge again and delivers her dinner plan: pizza in a park. After 10 days of the North’s finest salmon, monkfish, lamb and duck, supper is take-out pizzas, a pint of fresh strawberries and lukewarm refreshments on a grassy slope overlooking a wharfside neighborhood.

Three hundred yards away, the luxury cruise ship Queen Mary 2 awaits for her passengers to return from city sightseeing and their notpizza supper.

The next day, our final full day together, we ride Bergen’s famed funicular to an even better view of Bergen, the North Sea, and beyond. We can’t quite see America but we, like generations of Scandanavians before us, know it’s there and trust it will shelter us soon.

Preparing for the milk inspector

By Judith Sutherland

“Hard work spotlights the character of people; some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.”

— Sam Ewing

For farm families, spring/summer cleaning takes on an entirely different meaning than it does for most people.

There were a few things that my father could say to us that earned our undivided attention. One of them, without a doubt, started with the dreaded words, “The milk inspector will surely be coming any day now …”

Always and forever the man who believed in playing by the rules, my father would do his own inspection of the premises and start his list.

Oh, the dreaded list.

Necessary work. So, on a summer morning when most of our friends were heading for the mall or still sleeping in after a night at a friend’s house, my sisters and I would finish up the morning milking, grab a bite of breakfast, and head back to the dairy barn for our own version of morning fun, list in hand.

The harder we worked, the sooner we would be done. There was no option of not showing up.

We were equipped with rubber gloves, a ladder or two, the stiffest wire brushes to be found, buckets and rags, super-strength cleansers, and hopefully, a good sense of hu-

mor and determination to get that list whittled right down to nothing.

Always, always it seemed the top item on the list was “scrub the back wall,” and we knew from past experience that this alone could take hours.

With a straight-eight stanchion milking parlor, the back wall took lots of abuse, and even though we washed it down each evening, the gunk that got caked on that wall defies definition in terms of its sticking power. It was like cement sticking to those yellow block walls. It would require all the elbow grease that a girl could muster and then some.

The pipeline needed to be wiped down and polished so that even a milk inspector would smile with glee upon landing his eyes upon it. The hot, soapy water would drip past those rubber gloves and run down our arms as we balanced ourselves on those old, rickety ladders.

Every spec cleaned. There were to be no cobwebs in sight. Fly specks? Be gone with them, too! The windows and the walls and the ceiling should be worthy of an overnight guest. And that is only the milking parlor.

Next, we were to tackle the milk house. The stainless steel bulk tank should glisten and gleam, both inside and out. The deep stainless steel sinks must be polished and spit-shined so that the milk inspector could catch a glimpse of him-

self smiling because he is overcome with such happiness to find himself in a place so nearly perfect that he doesn’t even have to reach for his pen. Although, history had shown us, he would surely find some infraction to note, just to keep us on our toes.

After several hours, we would head to the house for lunch. We were all out of elbow grease, arms feeling like dead weight from physical exhaustion.

Lunch never tasted so good. We knew we had done our duty. The evening milking was only a few hours away, and we just knew those darn cows would un-do all the hard work we had just accomplished, but we tried hard not to think about it.

Next week: meeting the milk inspector, face to face.

Clark: Drought rockets grain prices higher

By Marlin Clark

The last three weeks have left us struggling to understand exactly what we are seeing in the grain markets.

We thought there were reasons to have higher prices, but prices declined, on wide swings. Now we have some market direction, and it was exciting last week.

All major commodities were very much stronger last week, as observers have decided that we are definitely in a drought of large proportions, and

that crop ratings are declining. This kicked off spec fund buying late in the week to add to some idea of direction.

Drought? What we do not have is a drought that is known to have hurt production projections very much. Yes, we were left with an idea that the decline in conditions could continue, but so far the area affected has not spread in the last week, although it is large.

We continue to see 45% of the major corn production areas to be considered in drought. What does this mean as we near the end of the third week

of June? It means that tough weather conditions coincides with the seasonality of prices that suggests that corn price highs often come in June.

In our Monday morning conference call, most observers were concerned about dry weather, although there were areas of spotty rain reported. The general feeling seemed to be that the crop was not at a critical stage yet, and continued spotty rains would keep us going.

The fear was expressed that we didn’t want to overreact to the drought yet, as we have a lot of corn acres planted, and a switch in rain patterns could quickly have us talking about big crops again.

Still, it is a fact that late last week, spec funds added maybe 19,000 contracts to long positions of corn, 17,000 contract of soybeans, and 10,000 contracts of wheat.

Fickle market. These position changes represent a large, if fickle, change in the market. I say “fickle” because the funds can reverse on a dime, and a little rain could get them to reverse. So, what to do?

Seasonally, June is so often a high point for corn prices that we need to respect that and not overstay our sales with bullish enthusiasm. It will be easy to miss this market.

By the time most of you read this, there will be just a little more than a week left in June. I know, the farmer benchmark is that the Fourth of July is the high of the market a lot of years, but it you check, that date usually provides a second stab at late June pricing.

The optimistic farmer in me

thinks that we get enough rain to get through, and the market retreats. The analyst in me notes that we traded this market too low, so we have so far over-reacted back up. I love to sell on over-reactions.

Having said that, I must admit that I am conservative and have a history of selling too early. If you notice, I have left myself protections from criticism about being wrong no matter what happens!

I am glad it is not my money I am betting. My social security check will remain the same if it rains or does not. Complicating this matter is the fact that we ended up with a long weekend without trading futures because of the Juneteenth holiday, new this year.

That means we have gone three days without a futures market, and the market does not open until seven o’clock this Monday night, after this is written.

There are those who fear that, after a big week up that may have been up even more because of fear of a three-day break, we are destined to open lower.

Since the weather is currently forecast to not give us much rain for 10 days, the open tonight may not matter. Some think that the scattered showers of the weekend will inspire a lower open tonight, especially since Central Iowa, currently a good spot, got rain.

Some think that since Northern Illinois did not get rain, the traders in Chicago may be predisposed to “continue the drought.” There is the adage about whether it rains on LaSalle Street (where the Chicago Board of Trade is located). Ya pays yer money and ya takes your choice.

Marlin Clark Market Monitor

By the numbers. Let’s look at some numbers. July corn futures were up 36 cents last week, to $6.40 1/4. It was not that long ago that we were trading below $6 and trying to figure out why.

The December new crops futures were up 67 cents, to $5.97 1/2. This is close enough to the psychological barrier of $6 that we might not see it right away, or, we may blow through it.

Whatever, if we get significant rain over the 45% of the country that is dry and producing the corn crop in the next few days, we will not have $6 December futures next fall.

Remember all the acres that are planted, although they are not counted. The 800,000 acres we planned to plant in North Dakota did not happen as far as I know.

Soybeans. Now, the soybeans. Although there are reports of poor stands and little development in the soybeans, the fact is that planting is ahead of normal. With the trend to early planting, our normal will continue to change over the next few years.

This year, the soybeans are trying to grow in the first couple of inches of dry ground, and it is not going well. Still, it is July and August that are critical for beans, especially August as we set pods and fill them. I have seen great bean yields on short growth that got good weather in August.

July soybeans were up 80 cents last week. Put that in your diary. That means you need to do something, even if it is the wrong thing. The November new crop were up $1.38 for the week! The Friday close was $13.42 1/4. We traded at $11.30 1/2 three weeks ago. This is how volatile a market we have. Beware that the big jumps come early, on fear. It will be hard to add to this price as we go on. Don’t be brave, don’t be stupid. Again, it is easy to say that, as I don’t have any money at stake. Chicago wheat futures gained nearly 60 cents last week, for no good reason except for sympathy with the other grains. If you have wheat to sell, now is a good time. They will be the first to turn around, because they are not trading wheat fundamentals.

Strong-willed lamb survives and thrives

By Eliza Blue

Every summer there is at least one hard luck case among our livestock that takes far more time and effort than everyone else combined. Sometimes it’s a calf, but more often it’s a lamb.

These little ones fail to thrive for a variety of reasons, and despite the fact that I know from experience failure to thrive is usually a oneway street, I can never bring myself to give up until they are ready to let go. I’ve loved and lost a lot of these fragile creatures over the years, and it breaks my heart every time.

Tragic. Last year’s tragic figures were twins and the tiniest lambs I’ve ever seen. They looked like children’s play things —an imitation of lambs — because it was impossible to believe real lambs could be that small.

Their mother was unprepared for motherhood and was inexplicably terrified of her babies. She would run away bleating whenever either would approach her.

Their rough start and delicate bodies didn’t bode well for longevity. I started them on bottles and was sad but not surprised when both got weaker instead of stronger during their first days of life. One of the twins died after only three days, while the other grew sicker and sicker.

I didn’t name the survivor because I was certain her story would end like her sibling’s. Still, I brought her inside and nursed her around the clock, shaking my head at my own foolishness. There was no way this lamb was going to make it.

A week passed, then another. The lamb didn’t get better, but she didn’t get worse, and one thing was

clear: she wanted to LIVE. I decided she needed a name strong enough to match her mighty spirit, so I started calling her Freya, after the Norse goddess. Meanwhile, the kids started calling her Dandelion because the first round of dandelions had just gone to seed, and they said that her fluffy, white head looked like the flowers in the yard.

Survive and thrive. Dandelion Freya is now a year and a month old. Last summer, when she got healthier, we tried to acclimate her to the flock, and though she enjoyed the company of the other ewes, she preferred to go her own way — sneaking out of the sheep pen to join the horses, chickens or dogs.

Over the winter, she was fed many times a day and always the very best stuff. She knew our schedule better than we did, and managed to find her way to the calf pen just before they got a hay and oats, or she’d sneak behind us and start snacking from the bag of pellets when our backs were turned. Her favorite though, was to meander down to the hay corral and begin peeling the best bites from the best bales before anyone else even had a chance.

All attempts to keep her fenced failed, and so we were not surprised at shearing when underneath her thick fleece she turned out to be quite a bit chubbier than any of the other yearlings.

“Hard to believe that’s the same animal as last spring,” I said to my husband, marveling that our tiniest lamb was now one of the biggest.

Dandelion Freya wasn’t done surprising us however. I was gone for most of last week at an arts conference, and the morning I returned my husband greeted me with an unread-

able smirk on his face.

“Guess who had a new baby last night?” he said, and the idea that it could be Dandelion Freya, who is too young to be cycling, let alone conceiving, was so far from my mind that I guessed almost every other ewe in the flock first.

But no, it was Dandelion Freya. Her baby is a tiny replica of her deceased twin, the only difference being that he is healthy and strong, and she is a devoted and doting mother. All of which shores up my belief that miracles do indeed beget miracles, and that heartbreak, when it heals, just makes more room for love to flourish.

ans’ westward exploration and settlement.

In the meantime, not only beaver but human lives were lost, especially in this area. According to Ohio History Central, a confederation of Iroquois tribes led the fur trade with their English and Dutch allies.

By the mid-1600s they had depleted beaver populations around the St. Lawrence River and moved their operation west to Ohio Country. The latter included all of what is now Ohio plus eastern Indiana, western Pennsylvania and northwestern West Virginia.

There, the confederation fought Algonquian-speaking tribes and their French allies in what were called the Beaver Wars. Despite a treaty in 1701, the bloody battles continued for control of land that yielded not only beaver pelts but deer hides for the fur trade.

By 1830, beavers had disappeared from Ohio, as they had from nearly all of the Lower 48 states. It was more than a century later, in 1936, when beavers were again spotted in Ohio, in Ashtabula County. Protected. Since America’s land had been developed — including for agriculture — in the beaver’s absence, the country’s largest rodents weren’t always welcome when they moved back in. But limits were put on beaver trapping in 1961, and beavers are now protected in many places, like the nearly 6,000 acres of Killbuck Marsh.

When Solon began working there in 1980, beavers were just starting to move in. Since the Division of Wildlife bought the property, the beavers were now protected. And they wouldn’t be labeled a nuisance for doing what they did: Building dams that sometimes flooded as many as 30 acres at a time.

“For them it was like the Garden of Eden,” he said. Beavers build dams to create safe places for their lodges, as well as plentiful food sources. Because there were already some deep marshes along Killbuck Creek, they only had to build low dams to flood large areas. Pretty soon there was almost no area of the marshes that hadn’t been influenced by beavers, Solon said.

In the process, the beavers made a variety of habitats for other species. Cutting trees creates niche habitats for species ranging from honeybees to foraging animals. It opens up the forest canopy, allowing plants, grasses and saplings to grow. It also soaks their ponds with sunlight, making water plants, invertebrates and insects multiply.

Thankfully, the beavers’ lowland habitat was not badly damaged by the derecho. That event, which Solon calls “tragic,” knocked down the trees in the 2.000-acre upland forest, some of which were 100 or 150 years old. The destruction was so complete that neither humans nor animals could get through the debris, which is still being cleared a year later.

100-year cycle. But there is something called the 100-year cycle that has affected Killbuck’s beaver populations. Although they also eat leaves, water lilies and other plants, beavers mainly feed on the cambium of trees, the layer between the bark and the trunk that creates new growth. When beavers flood an area, the trees eventually die and the beavers lose their most important food source.

Solon said many of Killbuck’s beavers have moved on, so he and his coworkers were happy to receive the one the Kitchens rehabilitated. As a baby, the beaver was apparently washed out by floodwaters in the

Springfield Lake area. The people who found him couldn’t find the lodge or his parents.

Orphans. The Kitchens get between 800 and 1,000 orphaned babies a year, including groundhogs, chipmunks, rabbits and possums. Right now they’re overwhelmed with 60-some possums whose mothers were killed on the road or by predators.

They get an orphaned beaver — only one, no siblings — perhaps once a year. Beavers, who mate for life, have strong family bonds, Fran Kitchen said. They stay in the lodge and help care for younger siblings till the age of two, when Dad finally kicks them out. But this male (the Kitchens don’t name animals that will be released into the wild) was ready to venture out on his own at one year.

“We make sure the beavers have developed survival skills before releasing them,” Kitchen said. “This one had the skills at a year old, but for others we wait till they’re two.”

Baby beavers are fed formula but don’t nurse as long as other species. Then the Kitchens must find appropriate food. Luckily, their neighbors have cottonwood, hickory and crabapple trees, which beavers love.

The young beaver was housed in an eight-food-square cage that contained everything needed to build a lodge: straw, pea gravel, branches and dirt. Beavers can carry dirt in their mouths and use it to weatherize the top of the lodge.

He also had a horse trough for swimming. Since beavers will only defecate in water, the water in the trough had to be changed at least once a day, maybe twice. The Kitchens also took the little guy swimming in the lake.

helping orphaned wildlife for 60 years and is certified in education as well as rehabilitation. During the beaver’s release at Killbuck, she spoke to the seventh graders about the marvels of the species.

Busy. The saying “busy as a beaver” is no joke, she said. A single beaver can build a lodge in 24 hours or less.They can chew through a tree that is three inches in diameter in about 10 minutes.

Though the Eurasian beaver can be bigger, the American beaver can grow to nearly a yard long and weigh upward of 60 pounds. Their tails “are solid muscle” and serve as rudders when swimming, props when sitting on land, and a warning signal when slapped on the water, Kitchen said.

They have an extra set of eyelids that are clear and serve as goggles when they swim. Their lips can close behind their huge front teeth so they don’t drown while swimming with branches or food.

The four big incisors are orangecolored because of a protective enamel coating that is rich in iron. Those teeth keep growing throughout the beavers’ lives, so they have to keep chewing to trim them down.

Beavers use their front paws like hands, especially for digging. The back paws are webbed and each has a double claw. Beavers pull hair through the claw to spread oils and keep their fur waterproof.

Environment changers. The wetlands that beavers create help turtles, salamanders, frogs and other aquatic species and make great fish nurseries, away from the fast-running water. Waterfowl sometimes walk where fish are spawning, get eggs on their feet and carry them to new sites, she said.

Even when the beavers move on, the environments they’ve engineered continue to benefit other species. When dams break, the sediment creates grassy meadows. Other species are known to use abandoned beaver lodges, including river otters.

Kitchen said Springfield Lake is busy with boats and people and would not have been an ideal place to release the rehabbed beaver. She and her husband were happy the

Killbuck management accepted the new resident.

“Dennis said he’d welcome any beavers that we have in the future,” she said. “That’s nice to know.”

Using balance sheet for financial health

By Chris Zoller and Eric Richer

You likely completed a balance sheet at the end of 2022 or the beginning of this year. Now may be a good time to use figures on the balance sheet to determine the financial health of your farm business. For more information, see this OSU Extension fact sheet: ohioline.osu. edu/factsheet/anr-0135.

Introduction. The balance sheet is one of four financial statements critical to the management and operation of a farm business.

The other three are the income statement, cash flow statement, and statement of changes in owner’s equity. The balance sheet is arguably the simplest of the four but can provide a tremendous amount of information about the financial health of your farm, including the ability to measure the liquidity and solvency of your business.

A balance sheet includes two columns. The left column lists the assets of the business. The right column lists the liabilities incurred by the business. Subtracting liabilities from assets provides the calculated net worth, or equity, of the business. The balance sheet represents a financial snapshot in time of the business. If you have questions about developing a balance sheet, speak with your lender or review the Ohio State University Extension fact sheet, The Basics of a Farm Balance Sheet, at ohioline.osu.edu/ factsheet/anr-64.

Using your balance sheet. If you are completing a balance sheet each year only to check a box that satisfies your lender, you are missing out on a number of useful learning opportunities, including:

• determining farm business valuation

• having a financial document that multiple generations can use to

discuss a farm from a business perspective

• reviewing farm assets and how they are financed (debt vs. equity)

• understanding how much financial risk a farm can bear measuring farm financial health (growth, liquidity, solvency, and ratios)

• gauging farm financial performance by calculating ratios and comparing performance to industry standards

Calculations. Let’s review the calculations used to measure a farm’s health, what they mean, how they are calculated and what you can learn from them.

Liquidity measures the ability of a farm business to pay short-term (less than one–year) debts. Two ratios can be calculated to assess the liquidity of your business:

1. current ratio — considered strong if it is greater than 1.5. The formula for determining the current ratio is: current farm assets/current farm liabilities

2. working capital — varies by business size but should be positive. The formula for determining working capital is: total current farm assets – total current farm liabilities

Solvency is the ability of a farm to meet its long-term debt obligations. Three ratios can be calculated to measure the solvency of a farm:

1. Debt to asset ratio** — calculated using this formula: total farm liabilities/total farm assets

2. Equity to asset ratio** — calculated using this formula: total farm equity/total farm assets

**When added together, these two ratios should equal a value of 1.0.

3. Debt to equity ratio — calculated using this formula: total farm liabilities/total farm equity Summary. Monitoring financial performance and measuring it against established standards are critical. These measures should be calculated annually, at a minimum, and then be used to make farm business decisions. Make time to review your balance sheet, complete the calculations described in this fact sheet and compare your calculations to industry standards. Consult your lender or Extension professional for more information.

Drought watch declared in Pa.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Following a meeting of the Commonwealth Drought Task Force last week, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has declared a statewide drought watch. While not required, residents and businesses are encouraged to voluntarily conserve water by reducing their nonessential water use.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to reduce their nonessential water use by 5-10%. For example, at home, there are many simple ways to use less water:

• Run the dishwasher and washing machine less often, and only with full loads.

• Don’t let the faucet run while brushing your teeth or shaving. Take shorter showers. For example, consider not washing your hair daily.

• Water your lawn only if necessary. Avoid watering on windy and hot days. Watering grass lightly and efficiently will encourage healthier, deeper grass roots. Overwatering is wasteful, encourages fungal growth and disease, and results in shallow, compacted root systems that are more susceptible to drought.

• When mowing your lawn, set the blades 2-3 inches high. Longer grass shades the soil, improving moisture retention.

• Water your garden less often. If necessary, water only in the cooler evening or morning hours, and direct the water to the ground at the base of the plant. Focus on new plantings, which have shallow root systems. Older plants may endure dry conditions longer.

• Skip the car washing. If you have to wash your car, it’s better environmentally to go to a drive-through car wash that recycles the water.

• Sweep your sidewalk, deck or driveway instead of hosing it off.

• Check for and repair household leaks. For example, a leaking toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water daily.

• Set up a rain barrel to be ready to repurpose rain when it does fall. Set out a bucket to capture water in the event of rain, and reuse it to water plants or the bird bath.

For more tips for residents as well as fact sheets on how businesses such as lawn care services, landscapers, hotels and restaurants can reduce water use, see the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Drought and WaterSense web page.

At this time, 18 public water suppliers are asking for voluntary water conservation in their communities. For a map of daily drought status and a weekly list of public water suppliers that are requesting or requiring water use reduction, see the DEP drought web page. DEP is notifying all water suppliers of the need to monitor their supplies and to update their drought contingency plans as necessary.

The Department of Agriculture encourages farm operations to plan to help protect their viability.

Wildfire risk. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources urges Pennsylvanians to be aware of increased fire risk.

Low precipitation has dramatically increased the number of wildfires in Pennsylvania this year. There have already been 1,400 wildfires reported statewide so far in 2023, compared to 1,036 in all of 2022. This year’s wildfires have burned more than 8,500 acres, compared to 2,700 acres in 2022.

DCNR reminds Pennsylvanians that 99% of wildfires are caused by people. DCNR is encouraging residents to understand the factors that increase the risk of wildfires, including an available fuel source, such as dried grass or leaves; dry conditions, including low relative humidity; and an ignition source to start the fire, such as sparks from an automobile, machine exhaust, or burning trash.

Visit DCNR’s website for more information on wildfire danger, maps, forecasts, and tips on reducing wildfire risks.

The Ultimate Wood Heat.

Management decisions for dry weather

and provides shading of the soil to cool and support our cool season grasses.

Think about grass leaves as solar panels which always need surface area to harvest sunlight and continue working. Specifically, it is recommended to avoid going below four inches in grazing height with tall fescue and orchard grass. You can also find other species-specific guidelines if needed.

Martin All About Grazing

We just passed through a May and June that looked more like a July and August if we consider rainfall. Usually, July and August are more likely to put managers under pressure with hot temperatures and limited precipitation that force choices that might often be classified as “which wrong choice is the most right?” as we work to make the best of less than ideal conditions.

Timely rainfall is easing the current drought pressure that had been developing locally, but we still have a way to go for summer heat. As we navigate these choices, here are some points to remember.

A goal of managing grazing systems is to keep forage plants healthy and growing so that they meet the nutritional needs of grazing livestock. Two easy principles to follow on that journey are first, the “take half/leave half” concept and, second, provide a rest period so plants can recover. These principles allow for pastures to sustain over a long period of time and should require less financial investment in the long run.

Take half. When we follow take half/leave half, we are grazing so that we always leave residual leaf cover in the pasture which allows continual photosynthesis and energy capture

Rest period. The rest period is very important in July and August because cool season grasses grow very slow in typical conditions in our region. Thirty to 60 days is common in a typical summer, but it all depends on temperature and precipitation.

At the time of writing, we were receiving relief from drought that was setting in, but if drought conditions persist, the rest period can be 60 days or more between grazing passes.

Ideally, between 8 and 13 paddocks are usually needed to accomplish these rest periods in order to have somewhere to go while grazed paddocks recover, but we all have to work around what is best on each farm.

Rule of thirds. The risk we incur by cutting grass too short is early decline of pasture, increased weed pressure, perhaps too much ash in hay, decreasing soil moisture, and decreasing soil productivity.

It usually takes four to five days for pasture plants to begin regrowing after a cutting pass, and then we should consider aiming for 8-10 inches in height before regrazing.

I led with the take half/leave half concept in grazing, but in mowing you will often see a “rule of thirds” meaning you should only be cutting onethird of the total leaf area.

The bottom line is that it just is not productive to cut or graze grass too low, and we should do the best we can to avoid it whether we are grazing, making hay or mowing the lawn.

Accumulation and buildup. Another discussion that we see when we are faced with prolonged dry weather is

nitrate accumulation and prussic acid build up. Nitrates occur naturally and when under stress (such as drought), some plants may accumulate excessively high amounts which can increase the likelihood of poisoning.

In brief, plants uptake nitrates from the soil, but in poor growing conditions are not metabolizing the compounds quickly enough which drives the concentration in the plant to high levels. Hungry animals fed a fresh ration are more likely to consume a deadly poison.

If you have concerns, try to limit the rate of intake and be cautious about introducing livestock to new forage too quickly.

Forage testing is always an option. Prussic acid is associated with forages such sorghum, sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass, Johnsongrass and unimproved Reed Canary grass that are in drought stress or under stress from frost.

Risk management is all about timing, and if you are manage for any of the above mentioned species, review your protocols so you don’t feed or graze on these species too quickly after a weather induced stress event.

It is possible to test for prussic acid in plants and fully cured hay or completely fermented silage should not lead to concentration problems. Forages in the boot stage of growth, new shoots and heavy nitrogen fertility applications increase the risk for prussic acid poisoning after drought or frost.

Fortunately, everything covered here so far has plenty of history to support it. Hopefully this serves as a reminder for a few items to pay attention to and some risks we might see this year.

When it comes down to the bottom line, mowing height can make a huge difference and should be a strong focus in your pasture and hay management choices.

The Dirt on Conservation

Database connects Ohio landowners with professionals

For many Ohio landowners, performing conservation practices such as wildlife habitat management or forestry management is something that is of interest to them, yet can be hard to pursue.

One tool that has been developed to help with this is the Ohio Resource Connections Statewide Contractor Database. This website database is a collaboration between Ohio Division of Wildlife, Ohio Division of Forestry, the Nature Conservancy and the Ohio Society of American Foresters.

The website provides Ohio landowners with lists of contractors as well as wildlife and forestry professionals who can assist with management on a landowner’s property. This comes in the form of management recommendations from skilled professionals as well as contractors who can carry out this work and input management practices.

In this database, there are labeled tabs for the Ohio Society of American Foresters directory, the wildlife directory, and TSI/ service provider directory.

Foresters. Within the OSAF directory portion of the website, one can find information on consulting foresters, industry foresters and even a local state service forester. So, what is the difference between these different foresters and what can they do for the landowner?

Consulting foresters are those who are self-employed or work for a private consulting company, and they provide forest resource management recommendation services for a fee.

Industry foresters, however, are employed in industries such as a logging company, a paper mill or sawmill. These foresters may provide services such as timber harvest planning, tree planting advice and forest management recommendations.

Finally, the state foresters are employed by the state of Ohio and can provide landowners with current information for long term management of their woodlands to meet their management objectives. This can be done by providing technical assistance and info on tree planting projects, woodland improvement activities, timber marketing assistance and assistance with U.S. Department of Agricuture financial incentive programs.

Wildlife. The wildlife directory portion of this website directs one to the state wildlife biologist information page and another information tab will assist one in finding their local state or non-governmental organization wildlife biologist.

These wildlife specialists include state private lands biologists, county wildlife officers and wildlife technicians who will be able to assist the landowner by providing wildlife management recommendations for their land. The landowner simply can navigate through this page to find the proper wildlife biologist for their county or region.

The website will then provide the landowner with the contact information so that they can inquire about getting wildlife management

HOW EXCELLENT IS YOUR NAME IN ALL THE EARTH!

A piece of a news story caught my attention today. I didn’t hear the entire story, but it told of the discovery of a planet outside our solar system that contained the chemicals necessary to compose life like we know on earth.

My first reaction was “Wow!” Then I thought, “Why not?”

Thy will be done

tures. People in agriculture look at the bounty they produce. Teachers and those involved in transportation of people and goods take pride in their work. People in the healing and other helping professions see the values of their efforts. Those whose labors provide the goods and services we enjoy like to be appreciated for their efforts. Those who protect and defend us look with pride upon their work.

As a youngster, it seemed to me one of my dad’s main objectives in life was to keep me busy doing chores around the farm.

belling and saying to my selfish self: my will be done.

Genesis 1:1, 14-16.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. . . And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth’: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also... Psalm 8:1,3-6,9.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man, that thou visitest him: For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works

The Book of Genesis tells us that God created heaven and earth. The psalmist added his amazement at the stars. God is glorified and given credit for creating all that is in both Bible passages.

Many people who worship the one true God believe that our earth is the center of the universe, and that we humans are the only creatures capable of thought and the objects of God’s saving grace and revelation.

Other believers in the same God believe that perhaps God created other life-bearing planets in other galaxies millions of light years from ours. They also believe that intelligent life may exist in those worlds, and that God loves them as God loves us.

However one views the vastness of the world the Lord has created and given us, one must admit that it is indeed massive and awe-inspiring.

You and I spend a lot of time admiring our achievements. Architects and builders admire their struc-

It is good for us to see value in what we do. It is also part of human nature to look at what lies before us, dreaming of what can be. in the future.

Let’s take a little time now and then to sit back and appreciate the world that we have been given just as it is without our human tinkering. Then let’s thank God for the magnificent and life-providing gift of creation.

And while we consider God’s gifts, let’s remember the gifts of human lives.

Sometimes we are tempted to ponder ways in which we can manipulate, belittle, take advantage of and abuse others for our selfish benefits. Perhaps we need to take time to get to know and appreciate others just for who they are, remembering that they, like we, hold the same status in God’s eyes of which Genesis and the psalmist spoke.

And we just might find that they have value just by being who they are as God intended them to be.

“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” Amen.

Between the morning and evening milking, he always had a full list of things needing to be done, and I always got what I felt was more than my fair share.

There were the standard pens full of young stock that had a steadily growing pile of manure to be pitched out. Various barn doors and/ or siding needed to be mended. Machinery needed to be repaired, painted or lubed. Fences needed to be rebuilt or mended. Hay to make; fields to plow; silos to fill, etc.

When was a young fella ever to have a moment to himself?

There came a time when I somehow felt if I got done with one assigned job, I should be able to just go off somewhere and do my own thing — which was to goof off.

I know you’re going to find this hard to believe, but my dad far from agreed with me on this train of thought.

The first time I tried this “go off on my own thing” and goof off, Dad came and found me. When he asked me what I thought I was doing, I told him I was all done, which went over — as my mother used to say — like a lead balloon.

As I look back, it never fails to amaze me how not only did I come up with some of the stupidest ideas, but I actually thought I might get away with them.

SURROUNDED BY LOVE

The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him. — Psalm 32:10 (NIV)

Every morning, I pull on my fluffy, blue robe to keep me warm as I make coffee and settle in for my morning prayers and Bible reading. After finishing my morning routine, I used to hang up my robe with a sigh, already looking forward to wearing it the next day.

Then one morning, I read Psalm 32:10. The word surround jumped out at me. I closed my eyes and imagined God’s love surrounding me. I pictured a soft, warm light covering me from head to toe. I experienced a deep sense of peace and contentment.

And when I hung up my robe that morning, I didn’t feel the familiar sadness at leaving my source of comfort behind. I had God’s unfailing love surrounding me — a comforting presence that would never leave me.

Now every morning as I put on my robe, its temporary comfort reminds me of God’s eternal love. And when I put my robe away, I remember that I’ll carry God’s love with me all day.

When I feel anxious or sad, I visualize God’s love covering me, and I relax into God’s comforting holy presence. What a blessing to know that God’s love surrounds us always!

Today’s prayer: Comforting God, thank you for your eternal, unchanging love that is with us always. Remind us to turn to you for the comfort and peace we crave. Amen

I could tell that somewhere in the back of my dad’s mind, he really wanted to pulverize me, but somehow he refrained and instead informed me of a new rule: “When you finish a job, come and find me so I can give you something else to do.”

Where in the world did he come up with such ideas, and like, right off the top of his head? When I finish a job, I should go and tell him so he could give me more work; wasn’t that like shooting yourself in the foot? And then after you finish the next job, you can just shoot yourself in the other foot by telling him you’re done again!

Knowing now what I probably really knew then, but just didn’t want to admit, was the fact that there was an underlying purpose to all the work that was being done around the farm. It all had to be done to keep the farm going and, as it was, my dad was the overseer of the task.

Also, I was just the kind of kid who seldom, if ever, said, it’s okay, Dad, thy will be done. Instead, I busied myself by re-

Oh, how much smoother life would have been had I been more cooperative. How much better I could have gotten along with my dad had I seen things his way.

Looking back now, as an adult, I never apologized to my dad for my childish and selfish behavior. I wish now that I had.

How often do we as believers find ourselves facing situations in life with the idea of not “Thy will, Lord,” but my will be done?

Most, I am sure, are familiar with Jesus’ great plea of grief in the garden as he faced his impending crucifixion. He prayed, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.” Luke 22:41,42. “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

As we reflect on the life of Jesus, though he may not have said it in so many words, we see him act it out throughout his whole adult life, right up to his final walk up to Mt. Calvary.

If we look between the lines throughout the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, we find them full of times when any average person would say, “This is enough; I want my life back — for once, can’t I just do something I want to do, and on my own?”

But we never, I mean never, see Jesus do anything outside of the will of his father, which is totally unlike my youthful self with my father.

Based on the Bible verse found in Jeremiah 18:3, Adelaide A. Pollard wrote these familiar words in 1902: “Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Thou art the potter I am the clay. Mold me and make me, after Thy will; while I am waiting yielded and still.”

Jesus set the example, Adelaide A. Pollard put it to verse, George Stebbins wrote the music, and today we sing the hymn, “Have Thine Own Way, Lord.”

The apostle Paul reminds us to “not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2.

Furthermore, he encourages us in Philippians 4:13 by saying, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

Can you say it with me? “Have thine own way, Lord.”

And now pray it with me; “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done … “ Matthew 6:9,10.

Database connects Ohio landowners with professionals

assistance. This would include wildlife habitat management, as the biologist would be able to give recommendations on how to manage the habitat on a landowner’s property for a desired species.

This can be any wildlife species from white-tailed deer to wild turkeys, to songbirds and even bats. Essentially any species, whether game or non-game, can be managed, depending on the landowner’s interests.

Service provider. The final portion of the statewide contractor database is that of the TSI/service provider directory. Within this tab is the Ohio forest/ habitat improvement vendor directory which lists different improvement vendors who will be able to assist in applying management practices on a landowner’s property.

Some of these vendors work statewide, whereas some work only within their county, and even the management practices which they can perform, vary. Some of the common practices which these vendors perform include those of brush hogging, herbicide and pesticide work, invasive plant control, tree planting, pollinator planting and chainsaw work.

So, next time you’re interested in having some wildlife or forestry management done on your property, check out the Ohio Resource Connections Statewide Contractor Database. This is a great way in which an Ohio landowner can get in contact with forestry and wildlife professionals who can give advice on how to manage their land.

Once you have your management recommendations, you can even find a vendor who will be able to assist in making these plans come to life.

In the KNOW...

Bell peppers are fruit, and so are avocados, olives and tomatoes. If that wasn’t crazy enough, bananas, grapes and kiwis are berries! Food is certainly interesting. Here are some recipes that you will want to make and share with others. I hope that you enjoy the entire process.

l Apricot Chicken

• 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded out

• 1/2 cup apricot preserves or jam

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce

• 1 tsp. minced garlic

• 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

• 6 dried apricots, coarsely chopped

• 2 Tbsp. sliced almonds

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a baking dish, with sides, with non-stick spray. Lay the chicken flat, in a single layer. In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except the dried apricots and almonds. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Top it with the apricots and almonds. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 24 hours before baking it, or it can baked immediately if wanted. Bake until chicken reaches 165 F, about 30 minutes. Serve with couscous or rice.

l Tomato Tarts

• 3 lbs. ripe plum tomatoes, halved length wise and seeded

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 Tbsp. thyme leaves

• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

• About 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 8 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2- inch pieces

• 1/4 cup ice water

• 2 Tbsp. sour cream

• 1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard

• 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Toss the tomatoes with the olive oil and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Spread the tomatoes, cut side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 35 minutes. Pull off the tomato skins. Turn the tomatoes cut side up, top with the garlic and roast for 35 minutes longer, or until slightly dried, and the garlic is golden. Leave the oven on. Let the tomatoes cool, then blot dry with paper towels. Make your tart crust while your tomatoes are baking: in a food processor, combine 1 cup of flour with a pinch of salt. Add the butter and pulse until it is the size of small peas. Sprinkle on the ice water and pulse just until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to an 11 1/2-inch round about 1/8 inch thick; fit it into a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Fold in the overhang to reinforce the sides. Trim off any excess dough. Chill the tart shell. Line the tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake the tart shell for 35 minutes, or until just set. Carefully remove the foil and weights and bake for 5 minutes longer, or until golden. Mix the sour cream and mustard and spread over the tart shell. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Arrange the tomatoes in the shell in 2 layers, cut side up, seasoning between the layers. Bake the tart for 25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are just beginning to brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.

l Breakfast Fruit Pastries

• 6 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

• 2 Tbsp. sugar

• 2 tsp. lemon juice

• 1 tsp. lemon zest

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1 pkg. frozen puff pastry, 2 sheets, thawed

• 1 1/2 cups fresh fruit, seasonal or your favorite

• 1 large egg white with 1 Tbsp. water

• Sanding sugar

• Optional: 1/3 cup vanilla icing, slightly microwaved warmed

Preheat the oven to 400 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract until creamy. Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll the pastry with a rolling pin to seal the perforations. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut out four circles from each sheet of puff pastry. Transfer four pastry circles onto each baking sheet, spacing the circles about 2 inches apart. Lightly score a circular border 1/4-inch from the edges then prick the centers of each pastry with a fork. Spread a portion of the cream cheese mixture inside the border of each pastry then top the cream cheese with fruit. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush the edges of the pastries with the egg wash then sprinkle them with the sanding sugar. Bake the pastries for 15 to 18 minutes or until they’re golden and puffed. Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Drizzle with vanilla icing if desired.

New center promotes agricultural conservation

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As part of an ongoing effort to promote soil and water conservation on farms, Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences has launched the Center for Agricultural Conservation Assistance Training in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The new center, which will be coordinated by Penn State Extension, is aimed at helping Pennsylvania farmers, agricultural landowners and conservation professionals implement best practices, meet appropriate technical qualifications for those practices, leverage funding and partnerships and ensure the health of land and water in communities.

The center is funded by the State Conservation Commission through its new Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program, which was created through the Clean Streams Fund established in the fiscal 2022-23 state budget.

Additional support is provided by USDA-NRCS through its Conservation Technical Assistance Program.

Mission. The center’s mission is to increase the capacity to deliver

conservation training and technical assistance so that agricultural conservation professionals can meet the demand of farmers and forest landowners who seek to address natural resource concerns such as water quality and soil loss while promoting productive farming.

Penn State Extension, USDANRCS and the State Conservation Commission all currently are seeking to fill a variety of positions related to the center. Penn State Extension water resources team leader, Jennifer Fetter, has been named the center’s interim director.

Fetter explained that the center will offer a wide variety of training and support for producers and conservation professionals. Like Penn State Extension and its partners, the center’s team will be spread across Pennsylvania for easy access to all parts of the commonwealth.

She noted that this approach will enable team members to conduct site visits, provide on-the-job training, and assist farmers and conservation professionals throughout the state. It also allows the center to leverage the vast expertise and resources across Penn State Extension’s programs.

Through the center, people can learn about how farms operate and how to balance environmental impacts with farmer impacts. Increasing the number of technical trainings so that more of the conservation workforce can develop critical skills more quickly is another goal of the center, Fetter noted.

The center also will provide a quality assurance component with dedicated conservation professionals assisting in-field colleagues with inventories, designs and other technical conservation practice components.

Current offerings. The center currently offers workshops, webinars and training sessions led by extension educators, NRCS and the State Conservation Commission. Several other projects are in progress, such as developing educational materials, certification training workshops, an annual training conference and a newsletter titled “Ag Conservation Currents: News That Infiltrates and Transpires.” This monthly newsletter provides information on publications, videos, and upcoming online and in-person events.

In addition, the center will assist in the effort to recruit and train future conservation professionals by offering undergraduate classes and experiential learning opportunities to develop requisite skills and knowledge for careers in the field.

THE PERFECT BALE STARTS WITH THE PERFECT PAIR

Grafting an orphaned foal

In the horse world, springtime means foaling season. But what happens when you have a foal with no mare to supply milk?

Bottle feeding and hand-raising a foal is costly, time-consuming, and often leads to behavioral and socialization problems in the foal. Another option, called grafting, involves getting a mare that is not related to the motherless foal to accept and nurse it as her own. These mares are called nurse mares.

At the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, worldrenowned equine theriogenologist Igor Canisso has devised a protocol for the grafting process that has resulted in a near-perfect success rate.

Illinois equine theriogenologist Dr. Giorgia Podico describes a case that took place this spring.

A motherless foal, a nurse mare. In late March, a mare successfully delivered a healthy foal at the college’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital but died from complications of the birth within 24 hours. The foal’s owner authorized the grafting procedure so the foal could have the necessary nutrition along with the bonding and socialization only a parent of the same species could provide.

“Imprinting is essential for the development of the foal,” notes Podico.

The first step of the process is to identify a suitable nurse mare.

“Ideally the mare has given birth multiple times, is healthy, and has a sweet disposition,” says Podico.

However, there have been successful grafts to mares that have never given birth. And while veterinarians do not generally select a mare that is pregnant at the time of grafting, because many of the medications used during the grafting process can terminate the pregnancy, the equine theriogenology team at University of Illinois has successfully grafted an orphaned foal to a 30-days-pregnant mare without losing the pregnancy.

Bringing on milk. Surprisingly, the nurse mare does not have to be producing milk. Lactation can be induced by administering hormone medications for several days leading up to grafting. During this time, the mare’s teats are stimulated by a pro cess called milk stripping.

“After a day or two when the mare starts to show signs of lacta tion, we begin milking the mare and tracking how much milk she is pro ducing each day,” Podico explains. “Once the mare is producing three to five liters of milk a day, she is ready for the grafting process.”

At this point, the mare is given additional medications to promote her acceptance of the foal. The first medication is a synthetic version of the hormone that naturally surges in mares when giving birth and simu lates that feeling.

Meanwhile, the foal is covered in the donor mare’s scent using a towel with her sweat or her halter. This practice increases the likelihood that the mare will accept the foal. When both mare and foal are ready, the mare is restrained. Then a handler presents the foal’s nose, ribs, flank, and tail to the mare for an introduction.

First try. When the foal was presented to the mare in this recent instance, the mare showed the desired maternal instincts toward the foal by vocalizing and licking and sniffing the foal. The foal was then allowed to nurse while the mare was still restrained.

Because this first introduction was a success, Podico and the team placed the donor mare and the foal in the same stall with a divider between them. Being in the same location fosters the crucial bonding between mare and foal.

With only one round of medications, the grafting worked like “magic!”

Over the next few days, the

equine team carefully monitored additional feedings to ensure that lactation and bonding were going smoothly. Soon the equine team was satisfied that the foal was receiving adequate nutrition and had been accepted by the mare. The foal and its new mom went home to the foal’s owner healthy and happy.

“It was remarkable that the donor mare required only one round of medications,” says Podico. “It worked like magic!”

More on grafting. Sometimes veterinarians need to use additional techniques to achieve successful grafting. For example, the vagina and cervix of the mare may be mechanically stimulated to further simulate giving birth. This process releases hormones that promote contractions, milk production, and bonding.

Veterinarians also commonly give the donor mare pain medication and a sedative during grafting. “Many orphaned foals are very eager and will nurse vigorously, which can be painful for the mare,” Podico says. These medications not only ease pain but also stimulate the release of naturally occurring pain relievers in the mare that promote acceptance of the foal.

Podico says it is better for the owner and the foal to have a nurse

mare rather than to hand raise the foal. Mare’s milk replacer is expensive and can cause gastrointestinal problems in the foal. Foals also have to be fed every couple of hours as newborns. Lastly, hand-raised foals often do not learn to respect handlers’ boundaries and may treat people as they would another horse.

“This can manifest as play biting,

jumping, and mounting their handlers,” says Podico.

The Veterinary Teaching Hospital offers a highly successful foal grafting procedure. The experts like Canisso and Podico are passionate about equine reproduction and happy to educate the public about services available to them and their horses.

Ohio State Fair butter cow facts

In 1903, the first-ever butter cow and calf sculptures were featured at the Ohio State Fair when they were entered into a butter sculpting contest sponsored by The Ohio State University and the Dairy Processors of Ohio. The subjects of this early contest were not restricted to specific subject matter, but the life-size cow sculpted

by A.T. Shelton and Co., distributors of Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery butter, became such a popular attraction that it later became a permanent attraction.

Eventually, the butter cow and calf found a permanent home in the Dairy Products Building which was built in 1925. New cow and calf sculptures have become a time-honored tradition. They are created each year, along with a mystery sculpture that reflects the positive ideals and cultural trends in Ohio.

FUN FACTS

• A temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit is maintained inside the cooler.

• Each year, approximately 500,000 people visit the Dairy Products Building to see the butter sculptures and enjoy dairy products.

• Artists often use more than 2,200 pounds of butter and spend upward of 500 hours working on creating the butter sculptures each year.

• The Ohio State Fair is home to the largest butter sculpture display of any fair in the country.

• The American Dairy Association Mideast uses butter past its expiration date and not able to be consumed.

• The ice cream served in the Dairy Products Building is the same brand of ice cream served in the Taste of Ohio Cafe.

2022:

• The 2022 Butter Cow Sculpture was the largest display ever at the Ohio State Fair

• The 2022 display used 2,530 pounds of butter

• The 2022 display took about 600 hours to complete

Some previously featured butter sculptures include:

• 90th anniversary of the ice cream cone

• A bald eagle

• A Hasbro Tonka Truck

• A salute to the armed forces

• A tribute to Ohio’s dairy farmers

• A tribute to The Ohio State Buckeyes

• A tribute to the Olympics

• Darth Vader

• Dave Thomas of Wendy’s

• Furby

• Jack Nicklaus

• John Glenn

• Mr. Monopoly

• Neil Armstrong

• The Liberty Bell

• Columbus Bicentennial birthday cake

• A tribute to the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir

• A tribute to Ohio symbols

• A tribute to the Apollo 11 Moon Landing

• A salute to chocolate milk

• A tribute to the movie, “A Christmas Story.”

The 2022 butter cow display, presented by the American Dairy Association Mideast, celebrates the fair’s agricultural heritage. (Submitted photo)

Did you know?

County fairs might be all about fun, but they’re also great for local economies. A team of economic analysts affiliated with the University of Minnesota Extension found that every dollar invested in county fairs provides a return in spending of $4.43.

That’s a significant economic boost that can be especially valuable to communities looking to rebound from difficulties related to the pandemic.

The analysts surveyed both vendors and fairgoers, asking each about the strategies that were effective and those that weren’t. The analysis also determined that the popularity of county fairs remains high, as 90% or respondents indicated they were satisfied with their fair.

Prepare for a family day at the fair

County fairs, state fairs and country fairs dot the landscape in late spring, summer and fall, offering fairgoers plenty of attractions and rides to fill warm days and evenings.

Families who plan ahead for the festivities may be able to improve their experiences.

• Purchase passes in advance. Some fairs enable visitors to purchase entry tickets, parking passes and even game vouchers online. There are advantages to doing so, such as bundling discounts. Buying tickets in advance also cuts down on time spent waiting in line.

• Devise a basic plan. Look over the list of attractions and activities to gauge what you want to get out of the fair. Some fairs post their calendars online. With kids in tow, you’ll likely want to check out any children’s rides or animal exhibits and interactions. Create a generalized plan, but be flexible, especially when going with other families.

• Think about safety. Fairs attract thousands of people and that can lead to confusion if children become separated from their parents. Write your mobile phone number down and put it in your child’s pocket or bag, so he or she doesn’t have to

memorize it. Consider finding the tallest attraction at the fair (perhaps the ferris wheel), and make that the meeting point if anyone becomes lost. Snap a photo of youngsters when you arrive so that you’ll have a recent image and know exactly what they are wearing if you need to engage law enforcement. Some parents tell their children to find another parent and ask them to help them contact security.

• Time your visit. If the fair runs during the week and into the weekend, weekdays are likely to be much less crowded. Also, while not ideal, a cool day or one with a slight drizzle will cut down on crowds and improve the ability to see more things and get on more rides.

• Factor in food. Fair food is an indulgence to enjoy when fairs come around. Rather than go overboard, pick one meal or item that the family will enjoy. Bring a backpack, if permitted, and fill it with bottled water and other light snacks so that you can tame hunger pangs and not bust the budget at the food court.

• Understand game odds. Fair games are largely designed to earn the event money and not to cash out prizes to all participants.

These strategies can help families make the most of the county fair this year. (Submitted photo)

The chances of winning the grand prize, which may be a giant stuffed giraffe, usually are low, so it’s best if children do not become overly concerned with winning a prize. Play the games for fun and memo -

ries and not to walk away with the biggest prizes.

In addition to these suggestions, parents can make sure they bring insect repellent and sunscreen to the fair. Dress for comfort and not fashion.

Coming clean with complications

Laundry marketing is equal parts creative genius and con game. I have been doing laundry, or watching family members doing laundry, for years now.

I’m not claiming to be a laundry guru. I mean I’ve never done it PROFESSIONALLY. I just feel like I know what it takes to turn dirty fabric into clean fabric. It never seemed like rocket science.

In my childhood, my mother had bleach and a box of detergent. She also had a bottle of stain remover. Three products. We only needed the stain remover if I fell down or rolled in the dirt or grass — so fairly often.

I was not a graceful child. The entire “laundry arsenal” of my mother and grandmother’s fit on one shelf. It was not complicated.

Some families used “fabric softener.” We didn’t because we were not “made of money.” Our laundry was soft enough, thankyouverymuch.

Ring. Detergent marketing of my childhood convinced me that my spouse having “ring around the collar” was just about the worst thing that could happen to me as a future wife. That campaign remained in use for three decades.

Now, the laundry aisle makes choosing the proper combination of products to tackle laundry seem like an insurmountable feat.

For years, I was spared dealing with the plethora of choices. One family member was sensitive to dye and perfume, so my laundry choice was limited to one allergy free and dye free detergent. I used nothing else. Just that. No one pointed and stared. If Mr. Wonderful or the children had “ring around the collar,” no one was unkind enough to point it out to me.

The sensitive member moved out, and now I can join the army of people who apparently purchase 1,700 different products to get their socks clean.

I have two types of laundry. White, and not white. This I can pretty much deal with.

By Sara Welch

SALEM, Ohio — It all started with flowers and a farmers market. Only that farmers market was an hour and a half northwest of Salem, outside of Cleveland.

When Melissa Thompson moved to Salem, roughly 10 years ago, she made the long trek to her hometown to sell her flowers every weekend. Harvesting started on Thursday. Then, she loaded her flowers and went to market. She was selling out every weekend, but something didn’t feel quite right.

Thompson couldn’t shake the feeling that she should be selling her flowers in her own community, and she longed for a reliable farmers market closer to home. Her mindset changed, while she was out there selling, and she hasn’t looked back.

“I made a choice that I was only going to support local,” Thompson said. “I made a conscious decision that I wasn’t going to sell there anymore and I was going to pour into my own community. That’s really how this whole thing came about.”

About three years ago, Thompson found a local florist in Salem to purchase her flowers. While she was grateful to sell her flowers at A Touch of Gracious Living, she continued to dream of a farmers market for her community like the one she had known.

“This community needs the big farmers market where the vibe on Saturday morning is everybody’s getting drawn out,” Thompson said. “There’s this happy feeling where you know who you’re buying from and you go to see them every weekend. I want it to be a staple in our community. I want it to be a reliable staple of fresh foods and heritage crafts.”

As it turns out, starting a farmers market doesn’t happen overnight. It requires a lot of work and it takes time, commitment and a lot of promotion. So the community garden came first.

Garden. The community garden appeared about a month ago, in a previously vacant lot, on the corner of South Lincoln Avenue and Columbia Street, across the street from Gilbert’s Auto Service LLC. It features a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs still in the beginning stages of growth. Best of all it’s an educational garden, open to the public from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.

“It’s not even about the gardening, as much as it looks like it’s about the gardening. It’s about community service,” Thompson said.

Ollas. This month, community members are welcome

to stop by and learn about ollas — an irrigation technique that originated in China and North Africa more than 4,000 years ago. On the surface, ollas are simply terracotta pots filled with water and set into the soil. Below the surface, they ensure the garden is consistently moist as the water inside slowly leeches into the soil through tiny pours in the clay.

The ollas have been vital to keeping the garden healthy during the recent drought. There’s no water source at the garden, so Thompson uses a large backpack sprayer to water the plants every morning, and she fills the ollas. Anyone who would like to visit the garden is welcome to help keep the ollas filled.

Thompson’s vision for the classroom environment she’s cultivating in the community garden is to connect the community with potential vendors for the farmers market she hopes to have up and running by next summer.

“It’s a place to host educational experiences and help feed into the market,” Thompson said. “I’m trying to create that vibe that they’re (the vendors are) loved and wanted here so that they want to come sell here.”

Anyone interested in the continued educational efforts at the community garden can stay up to date on events by subscribing to the Salem Farm Market newsletter at salemfarmmarket.org/subscribe.

The community garden is sponsored by the Salem Farm Market, which is expected to be open every Saturday next year, June through September from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Broadway Avenue between State Street and East Pershing Street.

However, the Salem Farm Market is a much bigger undertaking that has a lot of pieces Thompson is still working into place.

This summer Thompson’s focus is filling the calendar of events in the community garden, wrapping up paperwork and finding the right vendors to sell food and heritage crafts at the farmers market next summer. Every weekend, Thompson and her family have been attending other successful farmers markets, collecting business cards and making connections.

“We’re going out there and we’re buying from people we would want at our market. We’re establishing these relationships. Then we invite them into the garden to see if they want to teach a class here. It’s all about building relationships right now,” Thompson said.

The Salem Farm Market has already received interest from a handful of vendors, selling products that include microgreens, mushrooms, flowers and jewelry. Additional information and a downloadable application for vendors who may be interested in becoming part of the Salem Farm Market in 2024 are available at salemfarmmarket.org/ for-vendors.

By winter, Thompson plans to shift her focus to getting sponsors and promoting the Salem Farm Market to raise awareness within the community and surrounding areas before it opens.

Anyone interested in supporting the community garden or Salem Farm Market can visit salemfarmmarket.org/our-sponsors to learn more about sponsorship opportunities.

Until next summer, the Salem community is welcome to stop by the garden for a class, or just to help nurture it.

“I’m supporting the community right now in the only way I can. Since it’s not opening until 2024, I can feed the community and that’s like the main mission of the market. I wanna just feed into this community — good food, community relationships and sustainability, empowering our community to be healthy,” Thompson said.

Coming clean with complications

(Continued from Page B1)

Our first brand new washing machine had more dials than I imagine one would find at NASA flight control. Worse, it was clearly designed by people who expect me to know the exact scientific makeup of my fabrics. I’m good with cotton and linen. I can handle denim. Add in sports uniforms made out of some sort of climate control space age polymer blend, and I have no idea.

I washed everything on the “Sanitize” setting for six months before I actually melted the logo clean off some of the clothing. They were definitely clean! Also, ruined.

Call. Our front load washing machine was state of the art at the time we purchased it and came with an option to communicate with the factory via cell phone. Yes, really. I can hold up my cell phone in front of a button and it will CALL FOR HELP.

I don’t know if it is reporting me for detergent fraud, off balance loads or just general neglect? I do know it reported back that I needed to run a cleaning cycle for the machine itself.

Excuse me? Why do I need a cleaner to clean the machine that cleans things?

My mother, mother-in-law, and grandmothers all had top load washing machines that never needed a special cleaning product to keep them clean. They also didn’t need to leave the lid open to “inhibit mold growth.”

Now my front load, while I adore it, does have its foibles. The aforementioned mold growth (gross) means I leave the washer door open to keep the seal dry when not in use.

I feel like BoyWonder and GirlWonder can be trusted not to climb inside the washer at this advanced age. This is dangerous in homes with small children, so do not do this.

Once in operation, a top load washer doesn’t lock you out. The front load ALWAYS does — for obvious reasons. Once that cycle has started there is no getting in. Need to toss in one more dish towel real quick? No can do. Better luck next time.

Laundry in a front load washer is A COMMITMENT. I also have to get down on my hands and knees and drain water out of the machine with a little tube, then twist off a filter and take the whole thing off and wash it in the sink every month or so.

I don’t think my mother ever did a thing with the sturdy old washer she had for the first three decades of my life?

The final complication? There is no “soak” option on a front load machine. The instructions say that I should, if soaking laundry is needed, fill a tub with hot water and soap and put the laundry in there. Honestly, if I add a washboard, I will have gotten so advanced that I will have actually come full circle.

I will officially be doing laundry the way my great-great-great grandmothers did.

Bird-shaped whistles date to 1000 A.D.

KOVELS®

Antiques & Collecting

By Terry and Kim Kovel

People have been captivated by bird songs for centuries. At some point, clever artisans realized that whistles could not only imitate birds, but they could also be made to look like birds.

Ceramic bird-shaped whistles have been made for hundreds of years all over the world. Examples dating to about 1000 A.D. have been found in Central America. Were they made as bird calls? Musical instruments? Toys?

This whistle, which sold for $2,006 at Conestoga Auction Co., was made in 19th-century Pennsylvania of redware clay. Today, inexpensive mass-produced bird-shaped whistles are made of ceramics, metal or plastic. The 20th century Italian company Alessi put a red whistling bird on the spout of a stainless steel tea kettle, creating an icon of modern design.

Q. My father was a w riter, and I just was tempted to buy a light blue Sears “Tutor” typewriter in its original case for $35 that reminded me of his typewriter. Are typewriters collectible?

A. Yes, they are very popular collectibles right now. People love the “retro” way of writing and maybe seeing a typewriter reminds them of their parents or grandparents. Christopher Sholes, an American mechanical engineer born in 1819, is credited with inventing the first practical modern typewriter in 1866. Five years later, after dozens of experiments, Sholes and his associates produced a model like today’s typewriters.

The Sholes’ typewriter keys jammed easily. To solve the problem, he and an associate split up keys for letters commonly used together to slow down typing. This became today’s standard “QWERTY” keyboard.

I hope you bought that Sears typewriter. I have seen exact same ones being sold for $180 and higher.

The uniform was collected from Chamberlain himself in the mid1970s, the auction house said. Chamberlain was both MVP and rookie of the year that season, in which he averaged 37.6 points and 27 rebounds per game.

“The market for premium gameworn memorabilia remains strong, as shown by this sale of Wilt’s rookie uniform,” SCP President David Kohler said. “His unfathomably great rookie season was recordbreaking and will always be remembered.”

Death of meerkats linked to poisoning

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The sudden deaths of all five meerkats at the Philadelphia Zoo this month were apparently caused by an accidental poisoning linked to a dye that is used to mark the animals, zoo officials said, but an investigation into the deaths remains ongoing.

The meerkats — named Nkosi, Lula, Nya, Kgala, and Ari — came to the zoo as a group of siblings about a decade ago. The animals are gregarious and are known for their playful-

ness and communal living style.

Zoo officials use dye to mark the animals as a way to differentiate them as individuals, according to Rachel Metz, the zoo’s vice president of animal well-being. She said the zoo has been using the same dye for more than three decades without incident.

The dye was used on the meerkats June 1, and one of them was found dead about 30 minutes later, officials said. The four others started showing

signs of acute illness minutes later, so veterinary staff anesthetized them and pumped their stomachs. But three of the meerkats then died within 36 hours. The last one died June 12 after being under medical supervision for more than a week.

Metz said the zoo is conducting a detailed investigation and noted that necropsy results are pending.

Pennsylvania House OKs bills to support 911

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Measures to raise fees on millions of phone bills in Pennsylvania passed the state House of Representatives on June 14 in a bid to bolster funding for county-run emergency communication centers and the state’s 988 suicide hotline.

The 911 bill passed 121-82, and would increase the existing $1.65 monthly fee to $1.97 on Pennsylvanian’s phone bills. The funds will support equipment, operations and new technology, sponsors said. It is expected to generate an additional $30 million, for a projected total of $365 million in fiscal year beginning July 1.

The House passed the 988 bill 113-90, to create a new 6-cent fee beginning Jan. 1. The estimated $12 million generated annually to start would help fund operations of the call centers, with staffing, routing of calls and services.

Bi-partisan approval. Both measures, which were backed by every Democrat and a handful of Republicans, would annually adjust the fees with inflation. The legislation now goes on to the Republican-controlled Senate.

The measures come as the House unanimously passed a measure June 13 to cut monthly phone bills by exempting cell phone use from the 6% sales tax and the 5% gross receipts tax. Sponsors say it would save Pennsylvanians an estimated $124 million per year if also passed by the state Senate.

A spokeswoman for the House Democrats said, though it would vary, a typical consumer could see about a 79-cent reduction in 2024 under just the proposed tax cut. With the proposed increase through the 911 and 988 bills, it would be net reduction of about 41 cents per month in 2024.

Rep. Jared Solomon, a Democrat from Philadelphia who sponsored the 911 bill, said Pennsylvanians possibly wouldn’t see an increase in their phone bills until 2028 if all three measures became law.

“Right now, our 911 system is operating off 1970s and 80s technology. We all know that the number one priority of government is to provide for the safety and security of our friends, neighbors and loved ones,” he said. “Let’s vote for this bill. Let’s say yes to safer, more secure neighborhoods.”

Concerns. But opponents chafed at tying the charge to inflation and “infinity taxes,” and expressed concern that there was no guarantee the tax cut would make it through the Senate and actually offset the costs.

“Government does not have a good history of actually following through with what it says it will do,” said Rep. Bryan Cutler, a Republican from Lancaster County.

County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania said it supports the increase to 911 funds, but have called for a higher fee to adequately support the emergency services.

Last year, the U.S. launched the first nationwide three-digit mental health crisis hotline. The federal government provided hundreds of millions in funding to help states create systems that include mental health crisis teams and emergency mental health centers. But states need to sustain the funding. At least four others have allocated money to support the services, some through phone bill fees.

Where are the lightning bugs? Soon friends!

By Ashley Kulhanek and Eric Barrett

Last summer, a neighbor asked why we don’t see lightning bugs anymore. This summer, there are already posts on social media asking about the lightning bugs and fireflies.

Each of these concerns were about the lack of our beloved lightning bugs. Last year, we ended up with beautiful displays, and there is no reason to think they’re gone this year.

Neither true bugs nor flies, these beetles in the family lampyridae are a summertime favorite. Even the most squeamish among us must admit awe and fascination over these beetles with glowing butts. And while they, like many insects, experience pressures from human impacts and habitat loss, we think this year, firefly lovers are just wishing for them to come out earlier than they are ready to for this season. Cycle. Let’s start there first. Yes, we will see lightning bugs this year.

The reality is the impact of cooler weather likely slowed things down. As beetles, their lifecycle involves an egg, larva, pupa and adult emergence.

Eggs are laid in moist humus, leaf litter or moist soil. Upon hatching, many Ohio species will spend two or more years as predatory larva in the soil eating snails, slugs, worms and other smaller soil arthropods like springtails.

They then pupate and emerge as adults to feed, mate and lay eggs. And waiting for those adults to emerge is what we’re doing now.

There are many different species of lightning bugs that will develop at different rates. But we have some examples to go by to help us time their appearance using Growing Degree Days.

GDD’s are a measure of heat accumulation across the season that correlate with the growth and development of plants and insects during the growing season and are a good indicator of predicting insect emergence.

For our lightning bugs, for ex-

ample, one source has cited adults emerging around 950 Growing Degree Days on average.

Another study cited that “a good display” time is around 990 GDD on average and peak display would be later, around 1094 GDD.

In the Youngstown area, we are still below the growing degree days (GDD) on average required for peak emergence at only 722 GDD, June 14.

By comparison, in 2022 Youngstown’s GDD was 926, a fair bit closer to peak display. So, a continued warm up period should get those lightning bugs a-glowing soon in the next weeks or so, and we can enjoy their light show again.

In northern Medina County, we just hit 955 and we may hope to see shining bottoms glowing with the next weeks of warm dusky evenings. And another example, in 2017, Joe Boggs, in the Cincinnati area, didn’t see his first firefly until June 22 according to a past BYGL post. So don’t despair just yet.

Dry. Second, dry weather could impact fireflies. Many firefly species are aquatic or semi-aquatic favoring moist habitat along streams, transition zones between forests and fields, taller grass and humid areas. So, The increased moisture from recent rains may help build those favored habitats as GDDs continue to increase toward their emergence.

Third, insects often go through cycles of booms and busts. Population cycles of insects can be affected by winter temperatures, moisture, humidity, predator populations, diseases and more. While this occurs naturally through predator-prey cycles, available food, weather, etc.

Threats. There are external threats to fireflies, too. We cannot ignore that human impacts have seen a decline in insect populations overall, and those factors threaten lightning bugs as well.

Habitat degradation and loss from humans is a major concern for

fireflies and other insects.

But also light pollution and the use of pesticides are other factors like climate change are cited (Lewis et al, 2020).

A 1965 study by D.E. Marvin documented 31 species of firefly in Ohio. Now we claim about 2 dozen.

On i-Naturalist, (a crowd-source site where naturalists and outdoor photographers can document observations worldwide) only 21 species have been reported by citizen scientists in Ohio.

Help. So how can we help? In your own yard, consider mowing higher this time of year to improve habitat.

Leave leaf mulch or use wood mulch around plants to mimic the humus layer where eggs may be laid and to conserve moisture.

Reducing pesticide use and/or proper, safe pesticide use is always advisable and helpful to all insect species. We can also preserve waterways and aquatic habitats that lightning bugs will favor.

Design and build a picket fence

Dear James: I think a picket fence would look good across my front and side yard. I have some saws and tools. Is this a project that the average DIYer can handle?

— Jesse T.

Dear Jesse: If you have worked with wood at all and have some power saws, a picket fence is probably the easiest type to build depending upon how ornate you want it to be. Your main cost is just the lumber, but adding the fence should increase your property value more than its cost.

Always contact your local zoning board before doing anything else related to your fencing project. Most residential communities have restrictions on the location, height and design of fence that is allowed. These restrictions are usually stricter on fences placed in the front yard.

If you plan to place it on the property line, which is allowed in many areas, have your lot line surveyed first. If you are off just a couple of inches, you may have to tear down the fence later. It is generally better to move it in a little and avoid the surveying expense.

While you are doing this initial research, contact your local telephone and cable companies to find the locations of their wires. A surefire way to antagonize your neighbors is to cut the TV cable right in the middle of a big game on TV.

Style. Since you are going to build the picket fence yourself, you have complete flexibility over its style. It is generally best to match it to the style and size of your house. Try to follow the lines and the wood type used on your house. You do not want it to compete with your house.

Although many styles may look good, there are some typical ones used with various house styles. For example, adding a lot of ornamentation on the posts would be a good fit on a Victorian. A simple standard white picket fence works well with a colonial home.

On most picket fences, the posts are spaced between 6 and 8 feet apart. I like 8-foot spacing for the most efficient use of lumber. Fourfoot-high posts are most common unless your codes dictate otherwise. You can attach this by cutting 12-foot

posts in half and setting them two feet deep.

Width. Next, determine the width of the pickets that you want. This has the greatest impact on the appearance of your fence. If you are unsure, visit a local fencing company and look at samples and pictures. Two to 4 inches wide is typical. The picket lumber is usually 3/4-inch thick.

Carefully lay out your fence on your lot. For a professional appearance, it is important that the posts are all lined up properly. A wavy fence will just not look right.

To keep it straight, stretch a string with about two inches clearance away from the post locations. If you try to place the post right against the string, one post will surely touch and push it over. All the rest of the posts will then also be out of line.

Complete Auction Service

If you are very accurate, you may dig all the post holes first. This saves time if you rented a post hole digger. I still prefer the safe method of digging and installing each post as you go. This eliminates the possibility of finding out at the end that you have the spacing wrong.

Western red cedar and redwood are two good materials to use for your fence. Assemble all the posts and horizontal beams first. Paint or stain this entire structure. Paint or stain the pickets next and then nail them to the beams. Use stainless steel or galvanized nails.

Arrests made in art, memorabilia thefts

By Claudia Lauer Associated Press

Federal authorities announced charges against a ring of nine people for thefts of millions of dollars worth of paintings, sports memorabilia and other valuables including an Andy Warhol silkscreen, a Jackson Pollock painting and nine World Series rings belonging to the late Yankees catcher Yogi Berra.

The thefts took place over more than two decades at 20 museums, institutions and stores across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington, D.C., and North Dakota, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said June 15.

Investigators believe some of the sports memorabilia and other items had been melted down, including nine of Berra’s 10 World Series rings, U.S. Attorney Gerard M. Karam said at a news conference.

It was unclear which items will be returned to their owners or to the museums, but authorities said some of those valuables had been recovered.

Suspects. Eight of the nine people named as part of the theft ring have turned themselves in, Karam said. At least five had already entered into preliminary plea agreements on charges of theft of major artwork and conspiracy to dispose of major objects of cultural heritage, according to court records.

The suspects are in their late 40s to early 50s and are Pennsylvania residents.

Phone messages were left June 15 for attorneys listed in court documents as representing those eight suspects. Two of those attorneys said they could not comment at this stage of the case. Karam said the ninth suspect, 53-year-old Nicholas Dombek, is considered a fugitive.

The indictments allege the thieves transported the memorabilia and valuables and would melt the silver and gold items down into transportable discs that were sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars — but for much less than many of the items were worth.

The indictments also note that a handful of the suspects were involved in each break-in, casing security at targeted museums, planning and then one or two people executing the actual thefts. The suspects would then sell and trade items with the larger group, according to court records.

Case details. Court documents also allege that Dombeck destroyed a painting by Jasper Cropsey, burning it to avoid the stolen artwork titled “Upper Hudson” from being used as evidence against him.

Some of the thefts happened nearly 20 years ago, including the 2005 theft from the Everhart Museum in Scranton, where the thieves shattered a glass door in the back of the building.

They stole a 1949 oil-on-canvas painting by Jackson Pollock, “Springs Winter,” then worth an estimated $11.6 million and a silkscreen by Andy Warhol titled “Le Grande Passion,” then worth an estimated $15,000, but listed in the indictment as having a value of about $100,000.

Karam provided few details of how investigators from the FBI to local police departments cracked the case, saying only that evidence uncovered recently unraveled the ring’s activities.

“About three years ago, a forensic link at one of the theft sites discovered by a local police agency led us to forensic evidence that linked several of these thefts,” he said.

Details of the stolen items included:

POLICY NOTICE

— A baseball jersey from New York Giants pitcher and Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson, as well as two contracts he had signed that were on display at Keystone College.

— Nine World Series rings, seven other rings and two MVP plaques belonging to Yogi Berra, including the rings believed to be melted down and destroyed.

— A Hickok Belt — solid gold and encrusted in jewels — and MVP plaque from the Roger Maris Museum in Fargo, North Dakota. Maris won two MVP awards, including when he passed Babe Ruth’s singleseason record with 61 home runs in 1961 for the Yankees.

— A Hickok Belt and U.S. Amateur Trophy awarded to Ben Hogan, from the USGA Golf Museum and Library. Hogan, a nine-time major champion, is one of the greatest and most influential golfers in the sport’s history.

— Twelve trophies awarded to golfing great Art Wall Jr. that had been on display at the Country Club of Scranton, Pennsylvania, believed to have been melted down and destroyed.

— $300,000 worth of trophies from the National Harness Racing Museum in Goshen, New York.

Other thefts prosecutors connect to the charges released June 15 occurred at the Boxing Hall of Fame, the Sterling Hills Mining Museum, Ringwood Manor and other facilities. Other stolen items included gold nuggets, gems, paintings, firearms, historical objects and sports prizes.

For the last two decades, our first road trip of the summer season was a long trek to the beach. Year after year, we returned to the sandy shores of the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

A few factors led to a major

change this year. Instead of the early beach trip, we are gathering with extended family in Michigan later in the summer.

Change can be hard, and this news was not met with excited cheers from our kids. I decided to fill that week with another trip completely different from the beach. My goal was to find something that was the exact opposite of laying in the sun.

I wanted to visit Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. As a family, we have been caving in South Dakota and collectively, we loved it. Located just under 500 miles from our home, Mammoth Cave would make a fun camping trip. Exploring caverns over 300 feet underground seems to be the antithesis of sunbathing.

First stop. To break the trip into shorter segments, our first stop was

Caesar Creek State Park in Waynesville, Ohio. A dam built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1970s created the 2,830-acre lake. The creation of the dam and lake was to help with flood control in the Little Miami River watershed.

When our trip started, it had not rained in our part of Ohio in twenty days. We were praying for rain for our garden and newly planted crops. We knew the forecast and were not surprised when raindrops splattered on our windshield.

The sky grew darker and the wind started catching our trailer. The surprise came when the radio emitted a weather warning alert. After the familiar series of beeps, a voice came on with instructions for a tornado

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Grandpa’s chocolate cake

I watched him hoe the garden, clearing weeds from row to row. Grandpa was near 95 and moving kinda slow. His wooden cane was hanging from a belt loop in the back. If Grandma had been watching, she’d have given him a whack! I was barely 15 with an appetite to snack.

I knew that Grandpa always had some cake in his knapsack. I moved in close beside him, got his normal one arm hug. Then Grandpa took a swig of water from his Clorox jug. He said, “We’d better take some time. Let’s have a little break.” While he opened up his pocket knife, cut Grandma’s chocolate cake. Each piece was cut precision. Grandpa’s knife was plenty sharp.

Then we found a place to sit down on a worn out canvas tarp. We scarfed the chocolate cake down, tasted better than it looked.

When it came to Grandma’s chocolate cake our taste buds had been hooked. Grandpa looked right at me. “I’ve been sneakin’ cake for years.

If Grandma saw me take some she would prob’ly box my ears.”

Grandma knew too well that he was sneaking on the sly.

She said that’s why he married her. Her cake had caught his eye.

When Grandpa first met Grandma they were at the city dance.

He said, “Today’s my birthday. Could I have a dance by chance?”

Grandma said while dancing Grandpa treated her so sweet.

But when it came to hoofing Grandpa had two clumsy feet. That night he asked my grandma for their first official date. She brought along a birthday cake, the best he’d ever ate. Grandpa married Grandma nearly 60 years ago.

And Grandma always baked a cake ‘bout every week or so. She said she’d baked so many cakes and never had one fall. Grandpa liked her chocolate cake the very best of all. Grandpa’s tone grew serious. “You’re still a mite in years.

But always know a chocolate cake can calm the worst of fears. “So when you think you’ve found your gal and bachelorhood’s at stake. The first thing to consider, does she bake a chocolate cake?”

Caesar Creek features fossils and fishing

warning. The radar had detected a rotation in the clouds.

We were within 30 miles of our destination but pulled over at a restaurant. We eventually made it to Caesar Creek, finding the humor in the situation. We had prayed for the rain but didn’t anticipate setting up camp in a gully washer.

The much-needed rain lasted through the night, but the morning ushered in blue skies. We were able to explore the park after all.

Vulture encounter. First on my list was a walk down to the lake. Above the lake, I could see large birds swooping in large concentric circles down to the water. At first, I thought they were turkey vultures.

As I walked closer, I realized they were black vultures. These scavengers have become a nuisance in many parts of Ohio. Black vultures are known for attacking the soft tissue of young livestock like calves, lambs and piglets. They can also damage homes and commercial buildings.

Vehicles are not safe from their damage either; they rip vinyl seat covers and damage rubber seals and wipers. I was not aware of their bad reputation. I just found them extremely creepy and intimidating.

My walking route was quickly rerouted away from the birds. My dogs and I found another spot to admire the expansive lake.

Several fishermen were up early hoping for a large catch. The lake is home to several bass species, crappie and catfish. It is also stocked yearly with muskellunge and saugeye.

Fossil finds. After the rest of the family woke up, they joined me

and the dogs on a hike. A waterfall named Horseshoe Falls is located on an out-and-back 1.7-mile hike. We enjoyed the hike through a densely forested area, noticing mature cedar and sycamore trees.

Horseshoe Falls is not a large waterfall. The water drops a meager three feet, but the rock ledge stretches across the entire width of the creek. Near the falls, a natural border was created by a large, sedimentary limestone cliff wall. We quickly noticed the abundance of fossils in the limestones that formed the creek bed.

Caesar Creek State Park is known for being an excellent place to find fossils in Ohio. When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created the dam, layers of fossil-bearing limestone and mudstone were exposed. The result is a fossil collecting dreamscape covering a vast area by what is now the spillway.

There is a designated area for collecting fossils. We could not keep the fossils from the falls area. A permit must be obtained at the Visitor Center. A list of rules must be followed including not using any tools and only keeping fossils smaller than hand size.

I was glad the route to Mammoth brought us to Caesar Creek. The park offered many more activities than what we had time for on our stay.

What we did have time for accumulated into a unique and interesting experience. It was a great introduction to the area for us as first time visitors.

LOUDONVILLE, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves invites you to delve into stream quality monitoring, June 28 at 6:30 p.m. at Mohican State Park.

The program serves as an opportunity to gain insight into the Ohio Scenic Rivers Program, while also taking your first steps toward becoming a volunteer for ODNR’s water quality monitoring initiative.

Registration is required. To secure your spot, contact Christine Szymanski by emailing Christine. Szymanski@dnr.ohio.gov.

Participants will meet at the

streamside access area, which is across from the park’s Class A shelter house. Participants will have a chance to venture into the Clear Fork section of the Mohican River. It is recommended that all attendees wear closed-toe shoes for safety purposes.

In 2006, the Mohican State Scenic River, including the lower portion of Clear Fork, became an integral part of Ohio’s State Scenic River System. Its water quality is due in part to its richly forested streambanks.

As a result, the Mohican River and its encompassing lands have become a sought-after destination for nature enthusiasts.

Funding secured for safety improvements along US 224

BOARDMAN, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Transportation has conducted a safety study along a three-anda-half-mile section of U.S. 224 between Parkside Drive and Interstate 680.

The study was initiated due to numerous, high crash areas appearing on the following priority lists: 2019 Governor’s Safety Priority List, ODOT Highway Safety Improvement Program, ODOT Transportation Systems Management and Operations Program and Eastgate Regional Council of Governments.

The safety study has been an ongoing partnership between ODOT and local stakeholders, including Eastgate, Boardman Township and the Mahoning County Engineer’s Office.

U.S. 224 is a major arterial roadway carrying average traffic volumes between 30,000 and 35,000 vehicles per day. During the five-year period used in the safety study, nearly 1,900 crashes were identified.

The study found the highest crash

areas are located at major signalized intersections or sections of commercial driveways. The signalized intersections of U.S. 224 with Market Street, South Avenue, Southern Boulevard, and Glenwood Avenue had the highest number of recorded crashes.

Nearly 60% of crashes in the study were identified as rear-end crashes. These crashes were caused by congestion, closely spaced traffic signals, and vehicles slowing to stop or turn into commercial driveways. Over 30% of the total crashes involved injuries, with three fatalities recorded in this corridor.

The safety study identified several countermeasures to target these primary crash types:

• Signal and signing upgrades.

• Additional through lanes and turn lanes.

• Removal of several, closely spaced traffic signals.

• Adding raised medians with designated U-turn locations.

June 23 is National Pink Flamingo Day!

• Decreasing the number of driveway access point.

• Improving sidewalk connectivity and pedestrian crossing facilities. These improvements are designed to reduce the occurrence of crashes while improving mobility.

Implementation of the improvements will begin with a project focusing on U.S. 224 between Market Street and Tiffany Boulevard where the study identified nearly 75% crashes occurred within the safety study corridor. This includes 22 of the 29 locations identified on ODOT’s HSIP priority list and six of the seven intersections recognized on the Governor’s Top Priority safety list.

With assistance from Eastgate, the ODOT Safety Program, and the Transportation Review Advisory Council, ODOT has successfully secured funding for this safety project. The project is in the early stages of development and construction is planned to begin in 2026.

New location-based app game playable at The West Woods

NOVELTY, Ohio — Residents can embark on a new learning experience using Geauga Park District’s new location-based game, Agents of Discovery, featuring new “missions” to accept each month.

Just bring your smart device to the park, open the free Agents of Discovery app while standing in front of the nature center, and search available missions to play.

As part of each new mission, the app will tell you which trails to walk that month, and as you approach each of the eight challenges, your device will alert you when it’s time to play one.

By conquering the challenges, you’ll also be discovering all about the natural goings-on of the season; for instance, May’s challenges include Bird Shapes, Frog

dairy month Word Find

Frenzy, Nesting Places, Pond Life and Secretive Salamanders.

Participants will not only explore the park and learn about its wild inhabitants, but they’ll be rewarded in prizes when they show their finish screen at the nature center front desk.

Anyone with a mobile device can play, and the app is absolutely free. Play solo or together with friends and family. Remember, each month brings a new mission to the park, so make sure to come back monthly during all four seasons to play them all.

For a QR code to download the free app, and to learn each month’s reward, visit geaugaparkdistrict.org and click Activities, then select Geocaching and Location-Based Games.

Farm and Dairy would like to remind you to SELL SMART.

BEWARE OF POTENTIAL BUYING SCAMS

Here are two situations where you need to be alarmed and vigilant

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

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

REMEMBER

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.
