Ohioan wins Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award

By Rachel Wagoner rachel@farmanddairy.com

It’s always been Holsteins for Ty Etgen. Even as he was growing up as a kid from town working on his friend’s dairy farms around Wapakoneta, Ohio. Even as he quit football in high school to dive deeper into learning the ropes of running a dairy.

It was still Holsteins for Etgen even after her met and fell in love with a girl who grew up milking and showing Ayrshires, and then built a life on her family’s farm.

That devotion to the industry and to the breed paid off for the western Ohio native, who was recently recognized by Holstein Association USA as its 2023 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder.

Etgen, 33, of Harrod, Ohio, received the award June 25 during the National Holstein Convention, in Lexington, Kentucky. Etgen is the first Ohioan to win this award. Award. The Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award recognizes significant accomplishments of registered Holstein breeders between the ages of 21 and 40 for their commitment to preserving the dairy industry and for achieving excellence in their daily lives.

Etgen’s herd of 100 registered Holsteins, Etgen-Way, is milked twice a day and has a rolling herd average of 23,044 pounds of milk, with a 4% fat test and a 3.1% protein test, according to the association.

WASHINGTON, Pa. — No one likes methane leaks. They’re bad for the environment, with methane emissions contributing significantly to anthropogenic climate change and polluting the air and water. Leaks are also costly for the oil and gas industry, which loses a marketable product every time methane leaks into the atmosphere.

So, in order to be sustainable, both financially and environmentally, many companies are pledging to reduce leaks and other emissions.

One of those companies is Diversified Energy, the largest owner of oil and gas wells in the country and a major player in the region’s oil and gas industry. The company made its bones buying decades old marginal wells and keeping them productive, and has faced criticism for this business model.

Diversified Energy reported in its latest corporate sustainability report that it inspected 100% of its Appalachian wells for leaks last year.

That was no small feat as the company owns more than 50,000 wells in the region, mostly older, conventional wells . That includes more than 22,000 wells in Pennsylvania, 23,000 in West

“In 2022, we found we were 90% tight,” Espenan said. “In successive surveys, we got to 95% tight.”

Why. Diversified is now expanding its efforts to

US EPA finalizes new Renewable Fuel Standards

By Farm and Dairy staff

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new Renewable Fuel Standards volumes have people talking. And not in a good way.

The EPA announced June 21 the biofuel blending volumes for 2023 to 2025, which included increased amounts for biofuels but not for corn ethanol.

The final rule requires refiners blend 20.94 billion gallons of renewable fuel with gasoline and diesel in 2023, 21.54 billion in 2024 and 22.33 billion gallons in 2024. That’s up from the 2022 renewable volume obligation of 20.63 billion gallons.

Ethanol was left at 15 billion gallons, backing down from an earlier plan that proposed increasing the level to 15.25 billion gallons in 2024 and 2025.

The biomass-based diesel mandate was set at 2.82 billion gallons in 2023, 3.04 billion gallons in 2024 and 3.35 billion gallons in 2025. That’s an increase from 2.76 billion gallons in 2022.

Reaction. While these are the highest-ever target numbers for renewable fuel blending, agricultural commodity groups and the biofuels industry were disappointed with the rules.

Ohio Soybean Association president Patrick Knouff said, in a statement, that the modest increase for soy-based diesel was appreciated, but it wasn’t enough.

“These numbers don’t reflect the expected growth of the biofuels industry and soy growers were not prioritized,” he said.

The National Corn Growers Association President Tom Haag said the final rule “falls short of the emissions reductions and cost-saving benefits the higher proposed ethanol volumes would have provided.”

The Renewable Fuels Association said the volumes approved to the EPA marked “an unfortunate step backwards from the volumes that were originally proposed.” The association called the reductions to the corn ethanol volumes “inexplicable and unwarranted.”

Farm bureau continues to advance right to repair

WASHINGTON — The American Farm Bureau Federation signed a memorandum of understanding with CLAAS of America, providing even more farmers and ranchers the right to repair their own farm equipment.

The MOU follows similar agreements AFBF entered with John Deere, CNH Industrial Brands (which includes Case IH and New Holland), AGCO and Kubota. Combined, the five MOUs cover approximately three quarters of the agricultural machin-

Charting a path to zero

Major oil and gas player, Diversified Energy, inspects more than 50,000 wells for leaks

(Continued from Page A1)

inspect all of its 7,500 wells in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma for leaks.

“We’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do,” Espenan said.

But that’s not the only reason. Diversified Energy — publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange which requires Environmental, Social and Governance, or ESG, reporting from its companies — has a goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040. It might sound impossible for a company dealing in fossil fuels to become net zero, but Espenan says Diversified is already well on its way.

The company reported it reduced its direct methane emissions by 25% since 2020. Its new program to find and fix leaks was the largest contributor to that reduction, according to the sustainability report.

Oil and gas production is one of the largest contributors of methane emissions in the country, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Methane, which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, accounts for about 11% of emissions in the U.S., compared with carbon dioxide’s 79%.

Methane has a much higher-heat trapping potential than carbon dioxide, but it breaks down in the atmosphere much faster. That means cutting methane emissions could have a significant impact on cutting overall greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially reducing the immediate impacts of human-caused climate change.

There’s also the money. Methane is the primary component of natural gas, so when it leaks out of a loose valve or a faulty fitting, the company is losing its valuable product. Reports have found that fixing methane leaks could save energy companies billions of dollars.

“We sell natural gas, so we want to put it back in the pipe,” Espenan said.

Criticism. While these efforts are significant, Diversified has been criticized often by environmental groups for the types of wells it operates and the way it operates them. These groups argue the company is kicking the can down the road when it comes to plugging wells and, in the process, allowing marginal wells to continue leaking methane. The company has also been accused of underreporting emissions to regulators.

Reporters with Bloomberg in 2021 took a handheld gas detector and FLIR camera to inspect a few dozen Diversified wells on public lands and found leaks at most of them, including some the company reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection were not leaking.

The company responded to the story, which came out before Diversified launched its emissions reduction program, by fixing the reported leaks and reiterating its commitment to take care of its assets.

“The company complies with all state and federal regulatory requirements and has undertaken key environmental initiatives over the past few years to directly measure, report and reduce emissions,” the company said in a statement, to Farm and Dairy

How. Most of Diversified’s methane emissions come from leaks, also called “fugitive emissions,” and from gas-driven pneumatic devices, according to its sustainability report.

Diversified also spent $1.4 million to train and equip its 600 Appalachian field workers, called lease operators, to become leak detection and repair, or LDAR, techs. These employees are already visiting these sites regularly in the daily course of their jobs, so it made sense to train them as opposed to contracting out this work.

Espenan said they did 167,000 LDAR surveys on the ground in 2022. Wells are inspected quarterly. Operators go over everything with handheld gas detectors. The detector is highly sensitive. When it detects a leak, the device lets out a shrill alarm.

Each leak is written up, even if it could be easily fixed with the turn of a wrench, said Jason Mounts, director of operations for Diversified Energy. Others might involve changing out a part.

Operators demonstrated how they comb over each fitting, flange and valve with the GT-44 during a site tour June 17, at a well pad in Washington County.

Surveying an unconventional well pad with multiple well heads could take between 30-45 minutes. Going over one conventional well head and its associated equipment could take about five minutes.

The company spent nearly $1 million last year to convert 57 facilities from gas-based pneumatic devices, which are designed to vent a small amount of natural gas through regular operations, to compressed air. Espenan said they plan to do another 50 in the coming year.

Diversified also launched a program to survey all of its pipelines and other midstream facilities for leaks. It contracted out this work to Bridger Photonics, a Montanabased company that uses aerial Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR. So far, 11,000 miles of pipeline, or about 60% of the company’s assets have been surveyed.

“Can an oil and gas company be net zero? Yes, absolutely,” Espenan said. “We have charted a real path to obtain that.”

When Congress returns to Capitol Hill after its Fourth of July district “work” period — 17 days long for the House and 16 days for the Senate — members face two enormous tasks with little time to complete either.

On Sept. 30, the 2018 Farm Bill expires and, simultaneously, the federal government needs a new budget in place to open its doors Oct. 1.

It will take a mighty effort for either to get done. In the three months between July 1 and Oct. 1, the House is scheduled to be in session just 24 days and the Senate for 30 days.

Difficult fight. The biggest, most difficult fight will be passing the 2024 federal budget. In a good year, much of that wonky, tedious work goes on behind the scenes as key committee chairs, ranking members, and staff debate, schmooze, and compromise to hammer out a spending plan few members like but most can swallow.

In a bad year, it can be hand-tohand combat that often turns into a multi-trillion-dollar game of chicken with a government shutdown as the ultimate threat.

And 2023 is a bad year — but not for the usual partisan reasons.

Instead, this battle features House Republicans warring with other House Republicans over how deep to cut 2024 federal spending despite the debt-raising deal hammered out between Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden in late May.

“Mr. McCarthy and his leadership team,” reported the New York Times June 15, “blindsided Democrats … by setting allocations for the 12 annual spending bills at 2022 levels, about $119 billion less than the $1.59 trillion allowed for in the [May] agreement to raise the debt ceiling.”

McCarthy also blindsided most

Republicans — especially in the Senate — who thought they had a deal with the White House that gave Congress the green light to get both a budget bill and Farm Bill done before the Oct. 1 deadline. Not so.

Stuck by SNAP. Now everyone is stuck as moderate Republicans try to remove a monkey wrench thrown into the already-creaky gears of a deeply divided government by a handful of hard right House Republican monkeywrenchers.

And there are no easy ideas on how to do it. In fact, reported Politico recently, “GOP hardliners are still fuming over the deal … McCarthy struck with … Biden to raise the debt limit earlier this month, especially a provision that could expand the number of people on federal food aid.”

Ah, yes, food aid or SNAP, the Supplemental Food Assistance Program, that now gobbles up 80% of all Farm Bill dollars.

Dems see it as an integral part of federal programming to support families in need; hardline Republicans view it as a too-costly, fraudridden program (despite the lack of confirming evidence) that promotes government dependency.

Pragmatic members in Congress, Dem and Repub alike — not to mention almost every farm and commodity group — see SNAP as the political bridge to bring broad urban support to government farm programs. Without those non-farm votes, most political handicappers agree, there would be no Farm Bill.

Today’s same anti-food aid tactic was used by Republican hardliners during the 2018 Farm Bill fight. The results, reminds Politico, “helped to sink a partisan House GOP farm bill on the floor. It took another seven months to get the final bill” done.

Importantly, it wasn’t Democrats

A good fellow just doing his job

By Judith Sutherland (Editor’s note: This

is part two in the milk inspector series.)

The thing about life is, as it slowly unfolds, we see the same old person in a new light, if we open our eyes and our heart to such discoveries. It can be as shocking as it is refreshing and inspiring.

When I was somewhere around the age of 10, if you had asked me to describe the milk inspector who paid surprise visits to our family dairy farm, I know, at least in part, what I would have told you.

A terror. Based solely on the gospel truth as handed down to me by my three big sisters, along with the list of chores my father wrote for us to complete in the milking parlor in order to keep the milk inspector from deporting us, here is what I likely would have said:

The milk inspector is a frighteningly huge individual who towers over everyone, even our very tall father. He is likely a Russian spy, and he could possibly even be a raging atheist who steals Bibles from church-going children.

If there is such a thing as a milkmaid doll, he spends his evenings sticking pins into every one of these dolls he can find. When it is time for Halloween, sweet little children who are brazen enough to knock on his door are never given candy, but rotten apples complete with worms. If he were to ever take off his hat,

we would likely see tiny little horns growing out of his head — if we were brave enough to dare to stand near and look closely.

Because we had never actually laid eyes on this frightening creature, we reached the conclusion that he traveled under the cloak of darkness. My big sister told me that he was driven from farm to farm by a huge body-guard who made sure that no one could get close to the powerful man.

One day, a day which started out like any other, we had the day off school for one of those holidays that only lucky school kids seem to celebrate. We had made big plans to play King of the Mountain on a new pile of gravel that had just been delivered, just as soon as the morning chores were finished.

Surprise visit. Imagine our horror, when, just as we finished cleaning up the parlor and the milk house after the morning milking, our father looked out the window and said, “Well, I’ll be. The milk inspector is here.”

He said it with a calm, cool, collect voice. I felt my legs turn to jelly as I looked to my big sisters. They seemed to be handling the news with a certain amount of concern, but no one was screaming or running in fright, as I so badly wanted to do. It seemed we were all frozen in place. Is this what it felt like if the world was about to end?

The door began to open. I closed my eyes and took in a huge gulp of

air. I was prepared for the worst.

“Well, hello!” my father said, greeting this scary creature. Imagine my shock when I heard the two of them discuss the weather, the corn crop, the price of milk, problems brought on by a dwindling hay supply. This was everything my father talked about with normal people!

Dad showed the dreaded milk inspector guy around, and they continued talking as though everything was just fine and dandy. Just before he left, he very politely said, “Things look good as usual, Stan. Keep up the good work.”

After he left, my dad said to me, “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”

I opened my mouth to speak, but found myself speechless. Finally, at

Ohioan wins Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award

to me,” Etgen said. “Fifteen years ago, I had nothing, and to be recognized with this award, it’s awesome.”

Starting small. Etgen is a firstgeneration dairy farmer. For as long as he can remember, he wanted to be a farmer. He grew up with friends who lived on farms, and he got involved through 4-H and FFA.

“There’s something to be said for somebody that works for themselves,” he said. “You work hard and you can sit down at the end of the day and knowing you accomplished something.”

His love for the industry and the cows took off when he got a job at Richard and Kim Steinke’s farm in high school. Working there was formative for Etgen, he said.

“I ended up quitting playing football because I wanted to work and make money,” he said. But it was about more than just the money.

“I enjoyed working with good cows and good people,” he said. “I started to see how it all worked. I would constantly ask questions and pick [Richard’s] brain and learn as much as I possibly could.”

Etgen delayed going to college to continue working on farms, but end-

ed up at Ohio State University’s Agricultural Technical Institute campus, in Wooster, in 2009. There, he earned a degree in dairy cattle production and management. He participated in the dairy judging teams during his time there.

Family support. He married Heather Kennedy in 2013. The two met in the show ring, Etgen said. She grew up on her family’s dairy farm in Harrod and showed Ayrshire cattle.

The Kennedy family farm is where Etgen would end up building his first dairy farm. After farming in partnership for a couple of years after college, Etgen parted ways to start a small herd of his own.

Etgen and his wife approached her parents, Ron and Patti Kennedy, with a proposal. Their dairy facilities had been sitting empty for about a decade. Etgen wanted to bring about a dozen cows back there to start milking again. It’d be on the side, while he worked off-farm with Ron at his fabrication and welding shop.

In 2015, Etgen and his family were able to break ground on a new free stall barn and double-seven herringbone milking parlor at the family farm.

It was in large part thanks to his father-in-law, who was extremely

supportive of Etgen’s dreams for the farm. Expanding the dairy was something Kennedy wanted to do but never got the opportunity to, Etgen said.

Etgen runs the farm full-time, operating on about 300 acres and milking 110 cows. His wife, Heather, is a school teacher. They have two young sons, Cash and Henry.

Key traits. The herd he has now is a dream come true for the boy who didn’t grow up on a dairy farm, but there’s always room for improvement. They’re not where they need to be yet, but “I think we’re getting there,” Etgen said.

He’s always admired herds across the country with high breed age average, or BAA, scores, which provides a way to score animals and herds across ages and stages of lactation. The Etgen-Way herd has a BAA of 111.4, making it one of the top 200 BAA herds in the country.

Etgen said he breeds for “high type and udders,” as well as cow families and sire stacks. Classification is also important to him.

“Life is too short to milk ugly cows,” he said, with a laugh. (Reporter Rachel Wagoner can be reached at 724-201-1544 or rachel@farmanddairy. com.)

(Continued from Page A4)

the breakfast table later, I said, “Dad, I always thought the milk inspector was a really bad guy — kind of like the boogie man.”

Dad belly-laughed in a way that made everyone around him laugh, too. “Ah, that’s a good one. Whatever gave you that idea?” he asked as he caught his breath.

I was again speechless. I had

learned a whole lot that morning. I still didn’t like scrubbing the parlor wall or wiping down the pipeline, but from that day on, I did it with far less trepidation for the consequences. In fact, it sort of took some of the gusto out of the scrub brush in my hand.

Even still, a part of that fearful respect must have stayed with me, because in later years, I remember being stunned when my parents sent

flowers to the funeral home when this milk inspector passed away.

“He was a good fellow, doing his job just like we were doing, and he did it well,” my dad explained.

A good fellow who, as it turned out, lived by his Bible and did wonderful things for his community, and welcomed children to his door on Halloween.

Well, life is certainly full of surprises, isn’t it?

Marlin Clark: Weather market gets choppy

By Marlin Clark

Now that grain markets have roared higher on spreading drought across much of the 18 important corn and soybean states, prices have become choppy on any idea we will get rain.

Last week, both July and December corn futures actually lost a little over nine cents as late-week weather forecasts predicted good coverage of scattered rain over much of the Midwest. This followed a week when most areas got a little, but all of the farmers were worried.

If we take a look back, we have seen September corn futures (we will switch our cash bean basis to September futures this week) trade a low of $4.92 1/4 on May 17 and a high

of $46.24 3/4 June 21. That is a recent range of $1.32 1/2.

In a similar time, the November soybeans (cash buyers are using September and November futures now for basis) went from a low of $11.30 1/2 May 31 to a high of $13.78 June 21, a range of $2.45 1/2.

Given the recent prices, it would be easy to say they were too cheap a few weeks ago, but it remains to be seen if we are looking at good price now. If timely rains continue, the party is over. If we get dry in some areas for a week at a time, we have room to move up.

Ohio crops. I had a long talk with a Knox County reader this morning, and I reminded him that even in the Big One in 1988, the party was over when it rained, if I remember the date right, on July 3.

CASH PRICES - Grains and Feeds

Normally, even in drought markets, we see the corn highs in June, and June is about over when you read this. The crop can get worse, but the market goes up on premature fear.

That Knox County farmer said his corn was not knee high yet, which is short for him. On the good farms in Northeast Ohio, it has been knee high for a week, but it is not growing fast.

I am told some soybeans have brown spots in the fields, and as far as I know this is not from disease, but from poor emergence in powder conditions. The corn roots are still going down, looking for moisture. The beans are trying to live in the first inch or two.

Progress report. The crops we see are being fairly reflected in the U.S. Department of Agriculture crop progress report, out every Monday. We have seen declines in condition for several weeks.

Two weeks ago, Ohio was one of the worst, but we escaped that dubious distinction this week. We actually have a combined rating of the good and excellent categories of 66%. I am surprised it is that high, actually.

The nation as a whole is rated at just 50% good and excellent, down 5% from last week. Last year our rating was 67% at this time. Another reflection of conditions is that one prominent observer has cut his yield estimate another bushel, to 177 bpa. Remember, if we finish with that yield, we have a lot of acres, and we would still add to carryout.

If you are scared to get on to the pricing wagon, remember, that in that 1988 year, we still ended up with something like 85% of the original estimated crop production.

The 81 acres behind my mother’s house tasseled overnight after that July 3 rain and managed to put out 50 or 60 bushels. These are some of the awful memories that I measure markets by, and this one will come out better than that, partly because our planting practices are better and partly because we are not as bad off now as we were with the weather then.

Soybeans. We always say that it is August weather that is most critical for soybeans, as they set pods and fill them, regardless of plant height sometimes. This may be why the USDA soybean crop ratings are still as good as the corn, even though we are seeing some poor stands and very short growth so far.

Ohio came out today with ratings for soybeans of 61 good plus 5 excellent, for a 66% total. The nation as a whole is only at 51%, down three percent from last week. That compares to 65% last year at this time.

Other factors. There are other fundamental factors in the market to talk about. One interesting one is the idea that the Black Sea shipping agreement will not be renewed, as Russia thinks they are getting put at a disadvantage with it. They probably are, as the Ukrainians are determined to export by rail through Poland if they have to.

Meanwhile, wheat prices were

up June 27 on the Chicago Board, as a knee-jerk reaction to political problems in Russia over the weekend. The Wagner Group, a large, nasty mercenary army supposedly controlled by Russia and doing their dirty work without benefit of Russian insignia on otherwise Russian uniforms, revolted as the leadership got in a shouting match with the regular Russian army and started to march on Moscow.

Things have cooled off, but the temporary reaction to war news is always to increase the value of food grains until the truth is traded instead of the rumor.

There are other minor items, such as an upturn in possible soybean sales to China.

The most interesting news to me, and to the future production costs on the farm, is that, even though we saw crude dip below the magic $70 per barrel that the administration said they would use to refill the petroleum reserve, that reserve is now reported at 290 million barrels, the lowest since 1983. It has been emptied to moderate the rise in gasoline and diesel, and it is not being refilled yet.

Milk price modernization and federal order hearing: Part two

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has taken the first step towards a federal order hearing by asking for additional proposals to be submitted by June 14 and a pre-hearing on June 16.

The action plan published on June 1 starts a 120-day clock that a hearing would need to be completed by. Even with this clock if a hearing is granted after the pre-hearing information session, summer of 2024 is the earliest we can hope to see changes affect milk checks. The information covered here reviews what has been proposed so far.

Part one focused on make allowance proposals, which both the International Dairy Foods Association and Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association have since submitted supplemental information for their proposals with IDFA’s showing a 4-year increase in make allowances for a gradual step-up increase instead of a large jump.

Make allowance increases have an initial negative effect on producers’ milk price but should have a long-term positive effect. While the proposals discussed this week and in part three should all have a quick positive effect on milk producer milk prices.

Changing formulas In May 2019 Class I skim milk price mover was changed to the simple average of advanced Class III and Class IV skim milk prices plus $0.74. The goal of this change was to allow both producers and processors to better hedge milk price volatility risk.

Whenever the Class III/Class IV spread is less than $1.48/cwt the simple average pricing of Class I milk benefited dairy producers.

When the spread is greater than $1.48, Class I skim milk price falls below the higher of Class III or Class IV price. The amount of Class I milk being hedged has only slightly increased, and this new formula has

led to Class I milk prices falling below either Class III or Class IV when the spread is greater than $1.48.

The current proposal is to return to the higher of the advanced Class III or Class IV formula used prior to 2019. The higher of formula would have led to a higher Class I milk price during 2022-2023, 12 times with the current simple average formula being higher six times. The range in Class I skim milk price differences between these two formulas was -$2.07 to +$0.62 comparing the current simple average pricing formula minus the proposed return to higher of formula. From May 2019 through January, the simple average formula decreased the value of Class I skim milk compared to the higher of formula, creating $937.9 million dollars of lost producer revenue across the county.

Hindsight is always 20/2. In 2018 the simple average plus $0.74 formula used today would have had a higher Class I price for 10 months compared to the higher of formula that was used then. Since May 2019 we have seen big spreads between Class III and Class IV milk price which has caused these issues compared to the historic spreads.

The other issue that is created by Class I milk price falling below Class III price in federal order 33 was depooling. By shifting back to the higher of formula it will assure that shifts in manufacturing product demand does not lower Class I price. While the Class I mover change in 2019 appeared like it would be beneficial it has failed under current market conditions.

Eliminate barrel cheese. The next proposal is the elimination of 500-pound barrel cheese from the protein price calculation. U.S. cheddar barrel cheese production capacity is approximately 1 billion pounds and cheddar block production as either 40 or 640-pound blocks is about 2.9 billion pounds. The CME Cheddar block price is used as an in-

dex for pricing approximately 90% of natural cheese produced in the United States.

However, barrel cheese represents approximately half the price survey volume used to set protein prices. The block-barrel spread has become increasingly volatile potentially lowering Class III price as the barrel price fell well below the block price. The current barrel formula already has pricing factors that use historical data to make barrel prices look like blocks.

Since 90% of US cheese production prices are based on block prices it will benefit producers to use the block prices as the basis for their protein price. From 20192022 using only block price would have increased protein price by $0.15 per pound raising Class III price by $0.45/cwt and Class I price by $0.20/cwt, nationally this would have a $0.25/cwt benefit to the allmilk price.

The factors discussed today plus the Class I differential rate we will discuss in the coming weeks should increase producer milk price.

A missive from a summer solstice

By Eliza Blue

A missive from the summer solstice when my babies were still babies …

In the garden, giant bumble bees circle the purple sage flowers. They are looking for a sweet sip. My son starts to flap his hands and shoo them away, but I stop him. “No, no!” I say, “Don’t scare them or they will sting you!” He looks at me with a knit brow. What does sting mean? He’s never heard the word before.

I try again: “See how they put their little faces in the flower?” I tell him, “They are getting a drink. That is how they eat their breakfast.” He leans back to observe. We watch the bees zooming in and out of the blossoms for several minutes — which is several hours in toddler time — and then he is off, zooming toward another adventure himself.

I go back to plucking weeds: pigweed, clover and creeping jenny. I used to hate weeding, but now I rather enjoy it. It is the perfect activity to do when you have small children who still need a lot of attention. One ear can be devoted to monitoring their meanderings; your mind is free to wander a bit, and meanwhile, your hands are busy at a useful task.

This week is the summer solstice. Despite our attempts to convince him otherwise, the Bean believes he and the sun have the same bedtime, so I am actually looking forward to the days getting shorter this year.

Baby Roo, on the other hand, doesn’t mind falling asleep while it’s still light, as long as she is laying on or next to me. The arrival of her

first teeth seems to be the culprit. If I want her to nap for more than a few minutes, I have to hold her. Or wear her on my back, which is what I am doing right now.

When I start to feel weary, I think of backpackers who carry their whole lives in their packs and cross mountains. Relatively speaking, lugging a baby around the garden isn’t too hard.

I always thought it odd that the summer solstice was called “midsummer” but was also the first day of summer. I don’t think that anymore. The long heat of July and August lays before us; the fresh buds and new babes of spring behind; the crescendo of new life grows quieter.

Our bottle babies are down to one feeding a day, and like the rest of the flock, spend most of their time grazing (instead of following us around hoping for more milk.) The lilacs and the roses have gifted their petals to the wind and are settling back to seed, growing inward to prepare for fall. In other words, it is halfway from the beginning to the end.

It is not the halfway point for everyone though. One of my favorite ewes is dying. She was old when she came to us three years ago, so she is very, very old now.

She has been wandering alone, far from her sisters, and though I’ve tried packing grain and water to her, she no longer has much interest in either. I don’t want her to die, but there is no mistaking that it is her time.

She was always gracious and gentle, a good mother, and a calming influence on the younger ewes. I catch a glimpse of her far out to pas-

ture, standing with her head down, shuffling slowly through the patchy weeds and I can’t keep the tears from welling up in my eyes.

Tonight, as I do most evenings, I will take the kids out in the stroller to walk down the gravel road. We will watch the sunset and the rainbow of dusk deepen as the shadows slip from their hiding places beneath the trees and old machinery.

I will tell them stories, but I will be thinking of that ewe waiting in the grass. Waiting for night to catch her in its soft basket, and for the earth to reclaim her bones, seeds for a someday spring.

Problems with pokeweed? Get the facts

Common pokeweed is native to the eastern half of the United States. According to the Ohio Perennial and Biennial Weed Guide, which can be found at weedguide.cfaes.osu. edu, the distribution of this species has not been mapped in Ohio, but it appears to be widespread and is continuing to invade reduced-tillage fields.

Dangerous. Its deep tap roots make it difficult to dig up, but don’t worry, it will die back with the frost. Pokeweed can reach up to 10 feet in height and has distinctly red stems and berries that change from green to dark purple when ripe.

can be cooked into what is called “poke salad,” but knowing how to properly prepare this salad is very important.

Leaves must be boiled and drained twice to be eaten safely, but it isn’t recommended. Can you be absolutely sure that you handled and prepared it properly? If the answer is no, then just avoid experimenting eating any part of the plant.

Have you ever found any strange stockpiles of seeds in your home or garage? Whenever this happens, it can be hard to identify what those seeds are. Sometimes they may even appear to be insect-related and send you down a rabbit hole on the internet trying to identify this suspicious occurrence.

This exact thing happened to me this past winter. Hopefully my research into this phenomenon will save you some time in the future if it happens to you, too.

In December, I was getting all the Christmas decorations down from the upstairs closet in our old farmhouse. We moved here about a year ago, and like any old farmhouse, there are always some unwanted guests, such as stink bugs, lady bugs and mice.

Mysterious black seeds. I stumbled upon a pile of black seeds. These seeds were about ¼ of an inch across and they were round but slightly flattened. At first, I thought they were some sort of insect eggs but was really hoping they were seeds.

They were loose in their hiding spot, but also clumped together giving them the appearance of eggs. I didn’t think much of it, just threw them away and decorated for Christmas.

A few weeks later, I was going through my son’s dresser and sorting through all the clothes that he had outgrown. Low and behold, I opened a drawer to find yet another stash of these black seeds piled high in the back corner of the drawer around his socks.

This made me really want to figure out what was going on here.

Rodent food. After much research on the internet and through the Ohio Weed Guide, I figured out they were pokeweed seeds. Unfortunately, this means we have a rodent problem.

Mice like to gather seeds and make hoards for winter and with the abundance of pokeweed plants right behind my house, I felt satisfied I found the culprit. Lucky for me, the mystery is solved; unlucky for the poor mice who will now starve because I vacuumed up their hoard.

By August, many or most of these berries have become shiny and purple and can be attractive to children who may mistake them for grapes. Although the berries may be considered a grape look alike, I wouldn’t recommend eating them.

According to poison control, eating several berries can cause pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Adults who have eaten the roots, mistaking them for medicinal plants have experienced serious gastrointestinal problems and low blood pressure.

Pokeweed is an herbaceous perennial with multiple red stems. In the spring, young pokeweed leaves

Symptoms of poisoning include a burning sensation in the mouth, salivation, gastrointestinal cramps and vomiting. If larger quantities are consumed, more serious complications can occur that include anemia, convulsions and death from respiratory failure.

Just remember: A donut wouldn’t do that to you!

Toxic to pets. So, we know pokeweed is poisonous to humans, but what about pets and livestock? Well, referring back to the Perennial and Biennial Weed Guide that has determined the location of this poisonous weed to be found often in pastures, fencerows and barnyards, all parts of common pokeweed are toxic to pets and livestock.

The roots are the most poisonous; leaves and stems are intermediate in toxicity and the berries are the least toxic. According to U.S.

Department of Agriculture, cattle, horses, swine and men have all been poisoned after consuming this plant, but swine are more often affected since they often grub out the roots and eat them.

The silver lining when it comes to livestock is that they don’t find pokeweed to be very palatable, so most animals will avoid eating it if they are

being fed well and have other options to choose from.

Hopefully you don’t find too many hoards of food from our furry little friends in your home! If you have any questions regarding toxic forages or rodent control, contact your local OSU extension for more information.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A field day event held recently by Penn State Extension gave youth 4-H members from across Pennsylvania an opportunity to explore their interest in wildlife and forestry. The “Exploratory Tract” for youth 7-11 included hands-on wildlife and forestry educational activities and guest speakers. The theme was “Big, Bigger and Biggest!” and featured workshops on invasive plant species, amphibians and reptiles and wildlife population dynamics.

The “Science Tract” offered youth 12-18 a chance to participate in a series of educational sessions to increase their knowledge and skills related to wildlife and forest sciences. According to organizers, the sessions brought to life content from 4-H wildlife and forestry project books and helped 4-H’ers better understand current conservation issues. The event also was aimed at inspiring participants to investigate potential career paths in forest and wildlife conservation.

Teens hoping to attend national 4-H competitions in wildlife and forestry competed in knowledge and skills tests.

The wildlife science competition results were as follows:

• first place to Carson Riley, of Huntingdon County.

• second place to Grace Ziegmont, of York County.

• third place to Madison Cousins, of Armstrong County.

• a fourth place tie between Carley Locke, of Crawford County; Gideon Sensenig, of Lancaster County; Jasper Martin, of Montour County; and Olivia Creek, of Cumberland County.

• fifth place to Isaiah Snyder, of Blair County.

A team of these top scorers will represent Pennsylvania at the 2023 National Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Program Invitational, July 30-Aug. 2 in Milford, Iowa. The ecoregion of focus for this year will be the Great Plains grasslands and tallgrass/mixed prairie.

One billion and a flat iron steak later Guest Commentary

By Dave Hyde

The recent testimony, interviews and op-eds by the contractors and benefactors of the Beef Checkoff program, has this first generation cow-calf operator asking and looking for the real facts about the OFF Act.

Let’s start with the op-ed about Sen. Mike Lee of Utah in the Salt Lake Tribune on May 18. The first paragraph says it all “Sen. Mike Lee’s political positions typically align with agriculture. He usually opposes the burdensome regulations that threaten family farmers and ranchers and understands the importance of a fair tax code.”

Maybe, just maybe the family cattle ranchers in his state (like mine) have had a hard time believing that the checkoff dollars have helped us. But believe instead that they have bolstered the profits of the Big 4 meat packers, corporate feeders, and the contractors of the checkoff, and have asked Sen. Lee for help.

Since 1985 “the checkoff’s first year” the cattle industry has lost 43% of its independent family producers loosing 15,000 every year, 7 million mother cows, and 75% of the independent cattle feeders in the U.S.

Since 1985 the producer’s share of the beef dollar has shrunk from 60% to 37% and average annual beef consumption has fallen from 80 pounds to 57.8 pounds in 2022.

Just to be clear, it’s not about the $1 tax (two in my state), it’s about transparency and accountability of a program that has repeatedly refused, blocked and even went to court to prevent it from releasing information pertaining to the checkoff.

In 2010, an audit of the beef checkoff revealed hundreds of thousands of misused dollars. Those in

Forestry group to discuss oil and gas leasing

DOVER, Ohio — Ron Carlton will discuss the latest developments and his observations regarding oil and gas leasing in the Utica/Point Pleasant shale at the East Central Ohio Forestry Association meeting at 7 p.m., July 5.

control of the funds quickly filed an injunction to prevent the release of any further information. When all was said and done the statement from U.S. Department of Agriculture was “We are concerned that unwarranted embarrassment could result for USDA. and that checkoff funds are vulnerable to misuse.” Then they released 12,200 redacted pages from the checkoff audit and program.

Testimony on Capitol Hill had another “contractor of the beef checkoff” stating, The Beef Checkoff, for example, was established by statute in 1985 and ratified by 79% of cattle producers in a national referendum three years later. The Beef Checkoff collects $1 per head from the receipts of cattle sold and uses these pooled resources to conduct research and market U.S. beef to both domestic consumers and foreign importers.

What the contractor fails to state is the checkoff FAILED multiple times before changes in voting location, time of year, and vote totals were made. Also, several key provisions have vanished from the original act, such as periodic referendums, and the creation of cattle markets, (as posted in the original mission statement). They also boast about the acceptance and favorability of the checkoff but fight vigorously to keep a referendum from happening

and proving their point.

I worked 35 years as a union construction electrician before retiring and have paid thousands of dollars in mandatory dues (like the checkoff) to the union, but I received tangible and significant benefits as did other members that paid into this working tax. Recent estimates have cumulative amount paid into the beef checkoff since 1985 at $1 billion dollars, and the proudest moment has been the development of the Flat Iron steak.

The time has come to turn this program over to the real independent professional marketing experts, with periodic audits and performance reviews. The contractors with cowboy hats have tried but failed the American cattle producers for way too long. Why is it that only those who are benefiting from the checkoff are testifying against the Off Act, but not the producers that actually pay the tax? And, is it really about Beef Promotion, or is it simply the checkoff dollars itself?

Pa. invests $10.2M to protect farmland

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Shapiro Administration announced that Pennsylvania preserved 2,044 acres on 29 farms in 15 counties, forever protecting them from future residential or commercial development.

The investment of more than $10.2 million in state, county and local dollars preserves prime farmland, helping Pennsylvania farms continue feeding our families and our economy in the future.

The investment illustrates Gov. Josh Shapiro’s continued commitment to Pennsylvania’s rural economy and conserving land, soil and water resources to feed future prosperity.

Shapiro’s budget proposes critical investments in Pennsylvania’s $132 billion agriculture industry, including $13.8 million to fully fund the Pennsylvania Farm Bill for the fifth year, a $1 million investment for the creation of a new Organic Center of Excellence, $500,000 for a new Center for Plant Excellence, and $2.5 million for

the Farmland Preservation Program — ensuring resources will be available for counties to produce food and feed Pennsylvania’s economy.

Leading the nation. Pennsylvania continues to lead the nation in preserved farmland. Since 1988, Pennsylvania has protected 6,231 farms and 626,321 acres in 58 counties from future development, investing more than $1.67 billion in state, county, and local funds.

Pennsylvania partners with county and sometimes local governments and non-profits to purchase development rights, ensuring a strong future for farming and food security. By selling their land’s development rights, farm owners ensure that their farms will remain farms and never be sold to developers.

The newly preserved farms are in Adams, Berks, Butler, Centre, Clinton, Cumberland, Lancaster, Lehigh, Mifflin, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, Northumberland,

Union and Wayne counties. Butler County farms. In Butler County, there will be a total investment of $965,706, $940,706 coming from the state, and $25,000 coming from the county.

The preserved farms in Butler County include the Debra S., DuWayne L., Ronald K. Flinner and Kimberly R.Cunningham Farm, Muddy Creek Township, a 58-acre crop farm; and the H. George, Kathleen J. and Daniel Joseph Hartzell Farm #3, Slippery Rock Township, a 144-acre crop farm.

These investments will multiply public dollars invested in conservation initiatives, including the new $154 million Agricultural Conservation Assistance Program, supporting farmers’ efforts to reduce water pollution and improve soil quality.

Pennsylvania’s Farmland Preservation Program also secured a $7.85 million federal grant from USDA’s Regional Conservation Partnership Programs.

Federal assistance sought for vineyards, orchards

SHELBURNE, Vt. (AP) — Vineyards and apple orchards across the Northeast are still gauging damage from a late-season frost in May that wiped out a third to most of the crop for some growers who say it’s the worst frost damage they have ever seen.

Some states are seeking federal disaster declarations, which would make low-interest loans and other programs available to affected growers, while agriculture officials across the region are contemplating together asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture for direct aid to farmers.

Vermont damage. In southern Vermont, Scott Farm Orchard lost up to 90% of its apple crop when the temperature dipped to 25 F for five hours May 18.

At the northern end of the state, Shelburne Vineyards in Shelburne, Vermont, lost about 50% of its grape crop, which is potentially a half-million dollar revenue loss, according to head wine grower and vineyard manager Ethan Joseph.

To make up for lost production, Shelburne Vineyards plans to buy additional grapes at a time when its overall costs this year will be higher due to the frost, Joseph told The Associated Press. The vineyard has wine in stock to sell and it’s not off the table that it could raise prices, he said.

“We’ve never seen this kind of freeze event, certainly in the history of the vineyard,” Joseph said. “I’ve been here for 16 years. We’ve never seen anything like it.”

New York wine region. The widespread frost hit the large wineproducing region of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York where it’s estimated about half of the grape crop was lost regionwide, according to Kyle Anne Pallischeck, executive director of the Finger Lakes Wine Alliance.

Depending on their location,

some vineyards were hit hard and others had little to no damage. Vineyard owners say it’s still too early to tell what the final financial impact will be.

“I’ve been in this almost 40 years, doing it full-time and this is by far and away the worst,” said David Stamp, vineyard manager of Lakewood Vineyards, in Watkins Glen, New York, of the frost damage.

He estimated their total crop loss at about 30% to 40% though it’s tough to tell since the damage is scattered throughout the vineyards.

“I mean, if you put all the years together that we’ve had any damage it’s not even a quarter of what this is,” he said.

The losses will mean shorter supplies of certain wines next year and higher prices for apples this year. Some vineyards and orchards are having to reduce staff.

Keuka Lake Vineyards, in Hammondsport, New York, estimates it lost between 50% and 65% of its crop, said Mel Goldman, owner and vineyard manager. “We lost a lot,” Goldman said, adding it will take a few weeks before a final verdict as the vines produce secondary buds and shoots that could bear fruit.

Some vineyards are now starting to see growth from secondary buds, Pallischeck said.

“This is where hope lies in salvaging a 2023 vintage for many,” she told the AP by email.

In Vermont, Joseph said the new growth at Shelburne Vineyards is too late to produce fruit that would ripen this season.

Asking for help. U.S. Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both of New York, have asked the USDA for disaster relief for orchards and vineyards but did not specify how much was needed as damage is still being assessed. New York is the country’s second top apple-producing state after Washington.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont has requested a federal agriculture disaster declaration for the state, which, if approved, would make federal disaster assistance programs, such as emergency loans, available to farmers to cover losses.

Vermont’s agriculture secretary is asking agriculture officials in other New England states, as well as New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to join Vermont in seeking more USDA aid, saying that without it, businesses could downsize or close, delivering devastating blows to local economies.

To try to prevent frost damage in the Finger Lakes, “some wineries ran tractors through the vineyards and a few used wind turbines to increase airflow. Others burned hay for heat or mowed the grass short in the vineyard to help keep the cold air away from the fruiting wire,” according to a statement released by Schumer and Gillibrand.

In Vermont, at least one small orchard sprayed their apple trees with water to encase them in ice to protect them from the plunging temperature, but they still lost their crop, according to Terence Bradshaw, associate professor in the plant and soil science department at the University of Vermont.

Bradshaw, who also is a tree fruit and viticulture specialist, estimates Vermont lost 50% to 70% of its commercial apple crop.

The length of time that the temperature dipped below freezing was unusual but it was a confluence of circumstances — the bud stage, susceptible plant tissues that were out, and a lack of wind — that caused such damage, he said.

The late frost was rare enough that Bradshaw doesn’t think area orchards and vineyards will invest in frost irrigation or other frost protections.

Some apple growers may have a little bit more fruit than they ex-

pected, Bradshaw said. “The question is how much is enough to justify not throwing in the towel for the year and just say let’s step away, you

know, cut our costs,” he said. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

The stones cry out

By Stephen Broache

The Baptists had traditionally shunned the use of the demon rum. The bootleggers did not want the legalized sale of the nectar of the gods to cut into their illegal surreptitious sale of alcohol smuggled into the county for resale at an inflated profit.

The Presbyterians were more favorable to legal sale of suds and spirits as a means of cutting down on the high rate of alcohol-related accidents and deaths between Adair County and the wet counties to the north and east, as well as the exorbitant prices the bootleggers demanded.

While the illegal and legal purveyors of booze and suds shared the common concern for sales and the profits they bring, the various religious groups shared a common concern for alcohol abuse and its adverse effects on the county’s population.

The differences differences between their sides on the Option at election time lay in what they felt to be the better way to address the problem.

Election days were always peaceful. The casting and counting of ballots were honored and accepted by both sides of the Option and the other issues and office races. The campaigns were spirited, but folks remained friends after the results were announced.

The local clergy understood that both sides shared the common concerns, even as they held different views on their solutions. They prayed for God’s guidance in their deliberations.

Perhaps we can catch a glimpse of how Adair County’s people of faith could apply their beliefs to participation in and support of good government. Many of them read their Bibles.

Jesus taught that one should live the lessons of the Sermon on the Mount, as guides to spiritual survival in the Roman Empire. He also taught that faithful followers of God should live as good citizens, obeying the laws and paying their taxes.

Paul told the early Christians to

they created.

Over the years I began to realize that the universe itself is much like a kaleidoscope. We can look at the sky to view an ever-changing panorama. God created a vast array of plants, animals, rocks and people, where there are seldom two exactly alike.

How boring it would be if everything were the same! God has gifted us with a vast universe of diverse creations for our pleasure and God’s glory.

Today’s prayer: Creator God, help

Neither Jesus nor Paul taught violence and the insistence that other people must believe and live as they did. They simply invited people to consider the faith in Christ as they lived and told of the Good News of God’s grace and forgiveness.

We live in a time of heated arguments, divisive behavior and the insistence that everyone else must abide by our rules. People shout at each other, not listening to what is being said. Sometimes we become tired of all the information that is thrust at us through instantaneously reporting of events and the often unreliable social media.

We are basically good people who mean well, but let’s consider the values of respectful persuasion and listening to understand where else is coming from in thought. Perhaps all of us should read Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:112) and Paul’s speech in the Athens marketplace (Acts 17:16-34).

Let’s respect the gifts of our nation’s greatness, created through God’s guidance by people of differing views and beliefs. They argued, and some even disliked each other.

From discord and the blending of ideas, a nation arose because these people saw in each others’ eyes a desire for a good a noble nation. And they worked together to give us just that, a nation formed on a stable foundation of a Constitution, flexible enough to be adjusted as needed without damaging its firm foundation.

Be it an orderly vote on the “Option” or an amendment to our nation’s Constitution, let’s ask God for guidance and understanding of those with whom we may disagree. Let’s not allow differences of opinion tear our nation apart.

God, thank you for what has been good and noble in our nation’s past and for the good adjustments we have made in it. May we seek to do what is right, remembering that we are always only a few steps away from losing what you have given us. God, guide us to discern what is good and to sort out what may be only our own selfish desires. Amen.

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

“And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, ‘Teacher, rebuke your disciples.’ He answered, ‘I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.’ ”

— Luke 19:39-40

Like silent sentinels, the “witness trees” of Gettysburg remind us of the momentous struggle that occurred there.

In front of the old Winebrenner House, on Baltimore Street, stand two of them. They were there in 1863, although at that time, they were only about a foot in diameter.

These stately cottonwoods also were a witness to President Lincoln passing by only a few months later on his way to dedicate a cemetery to honored dead,mas the bronze plaques attest.

But along with the trees, perhaps more poignant because of their changing nature and life within them, of course, are what I call the “witness stones.”

The most well-known, as we know, are the black granite boulders of Devil’s Den. They are definite witnesses of heavy fighting, and the site of the infamous staged photo of a dead confederate sniper. Sorry, but wrong rifle, wrong guy and an opportunistic war photo correspondent.

When I take a look around other parts of the battlefield, the number of stones jumps out at you. Perhaps they were also hiding places, or vantage points (Little Round Top) or goals, as in “Lets meet our units at the rock out-cropping north of here.”

They could also be stumbling blocks. Take the old hiking path behind Big Round Top sometime, but be careful, you could hurt an ankle.

To me, all of these stones “cry out” to the perspective of the in-

dividual on the ground as events transpired. The Gettysburg area is a perfect area for what we call “war games,” but the saddest part of all was that it was no game.

Each year in our church year, the Palm/Passion themes of jubilation to condemnation reflect the disgruntled/chagrined Pharisees complaint of the clamor surrounding his Zechariah inspired entrance: “Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey …”

And that king tells us that if the crowd had been quieted, even the stones would have cried out. It was a cry I felt deeply on my final day in Israel in 2013.

Our tour guide told us that we were standing on Roman era stones. We noted the style and placement. And then he said, “This area was Pilate’s seat of judgement, and the stones where you stand are the same ones Jesus stood on when he was brought before him.”

Time froze for me. These were the Palm Sunday stones. His feet were not nearby or probably here. They were here. This site was where he argued calmly and then in silence as he was evaluated for crucifixion. The stones cried and knew his love for me. Their witness to me was heard and felt. Can you hear them?

Prayer: Lord, help me to walk today where Jesus walked, and feel him close to me. Amen

us to appreciate diversity in nature and in the people we meet. We pray as your Son taught us, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (Matt. 6:9-13, KJV). Amen.

Lack of rain? Time to maintain!

By Mike Tadaj

This past May, you’ve probably noticed the warmer temperatures. Some say we are two months ahead of schedule, skipping the typical May weather and going straight to July! This drier weather has also paved the way for a mild drought. According to meteorologists, an El Niño is not too far away and with it will come even warmer weather. That is why the summer months are perfect for stormwater basin maintenance on your dry or wet stormwater pond.

You may be asking, “How do I know if my pond is a stormwater pond?” In the 1970s and 80s, many housing subdivisions had these ponds designed and installed. Many commercial businesses that have disturbed or excavated over an acre of land probably have a stormwater pond as well. Contact your local SWCD if you are unsure whether your pond is a stormwater pond.

What is the purpose of a stormwater pond? Stormwater ponds are not just ponds. These ponds are designed to capture stormwater and release it at a pre-developed rate. In recent years, stormwater ponds have been used to filter out sediments, and other pollutants to protect the quality of Ohio’s natural water features: such as rivers and wetlands. Since these ponds are designed by an engineer to manage stormwater runoff, they are explicitly sized for development runoff accounting for the increase in impervious areas like roofs and parking lots.

OK, but I didn’t build this structure: Who is responsible for maintaining it? Stormwater basin maintenance is typically the landowner’s responsibility, but not always. Some

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) maintain all stormwater basins within their subdivision and in some cases there may be an easement identifying another entity. To determine who is responsible for maintenance, homeowners need to locate the recorded Inspection and Maintenance Agreement for the basin. This agreement is usually attached to the deed of the land, on file with the HOA or with your local SWCD. Contact your local SWCD for more information.

Why is stormwater pond maintenance necessary? When basins are not taken care of regularly, they can become full of noxious weeds like pricker bushes, phragmites, and cattails. These weeds can clog pipes and outlet structures if not cut down regularly, leading to basin failure. After a while, these weeds can also take over a basin reducing its stormwater holding capacity. If your stormwater pond has a large amount of dense vegetation, remove the cuttings so they don’t adversely clog the basin you spent so much time clearing.

Regular or routine maintenance has other benefits besides weed control. You can spot minor issues before they become major expenses. A quarterly inspection of your pond will help you understand how your pond functions and help you catch these small problems. Minor issues that can escalate if not dealt with include broken or leaky pipes, berm seepage, the presence of beavers, and animal burrow holes. All these problems can become major issues if not fixed early on. If you do need to complete a major repair, notify your local SWCD office of your intent. They can verify your new repair does not alter the pond’s original design.

My stormwater pond is con-

sistently wet year-round: How can I maintain it? Droughts and dry weather patterns cause water features such as rivers, ponds, and wetlands to dry out, making them more accessible than in previous years. This includes your dry or wet stormwater pond. A more accessible pond means maintenance is easier to accomplish and potentially less costly.

When it comes to any other questions regarding a stormwater pond, contact your local SWCD. They are your best resource.

Hopefully, the effects of any drought are mild, and we will continue to see relief in the days to come.

In the meantime, let’s roll up our sleeves and do some maintenance before those thunderstorms come back and wash away a good opportunity down the basin outlet pipe.

Agri-women honor Manchin, Thompson

WASHINGTON — American Agri-Women honored Senator Joe Manchin (D, W.Va.) and Congressman GT Thompson (R, Pa.) as Champions of Agriculture during their Fly-In the first week of June.

Manchin’s leadership of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources has been important in seeking regulatory reforms of permitting for U.S. energy and mineral projects to require coordinated agency reviews and timelines that would take far less than the current average of 4.5 years merely to acquire a permit.

AAW has emphasized the role of energy security in its webinars on “Global Supply Chains” and “A Secure Food Supply Equals National

Security” over the last year as well as in its comments on critical minerals and Securities Exchange Commission proposals related to Environmental Social Governance in the last year.

The organization recognizes an all-of-the-above energy approach as critical to fueling the production and processing of safe and healthy food for the United States and export.

The AAW Fly-In also featured a presentation to Congressman GT Thompson as a 2023 Champion of Agriculture. Thompson’s leadership is felt as Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. He has led initiatives to rebuild rural communities, to invest in responsible forest management, to restore dairy op-

tions in schools, advance broadband that will keep rural communities on the map and allow for advances in precision agriculture, and to reinvest in U.S. research infrastructure and exports.

AAW members submit their nominations each spring. The award was first given in 2010 to recognize members of congress who displayed exemplary courage presenting and supporting legislation that promotes American agriculture, rural American lifestyles and the United States Constitution.

AAW is the nation’s largest coalition of women in agriculture with members in 42 states. Learn more about AAW at americanagriwomen. org.

Lack

of precipitation makes summer the perfect time to access, inspect and maintain your stormwater pond, like the basin pictured above. Routine maintenance is required to enable these ponds to manage runoff and water quality most effectively. (Submitted photo)

ODA announces new farmland preservation commitments

COLUMBUS — More Ohio farmland will remain Ohio farmland. The Ohio Department of Agriculture has announced multiple new additions to the Farmland Preservation program:

• Ronnie and Jackie Johnson: Darke County, 20 acres

• Karen Riddle: Champaign County, 80 acres

• Rowe Family Farm: Highland County, 209 acres

• Jeffery and Mark Truster: Baltimore County, 71 acres

• Jan Bratton and son Michael Bratton: Fulton County, 88 acres

So far in 2023, 13 farms have joined the program.

Agricultural land is a key part of Ohio’s landscape. Preserving this

land is essential. An agricultural easement in Farmland Preservation is a voluntary agreement between the landowner and ODA, where the landowner agrees to perpetually maintain the land predominately in agricultural use. In exchange, the landowner is either compensated or may be entitled to a tax deduction.

In partnership with ODA, local sponsors Darke Soil and Water Conservation District, Champaign Soil and Water Conservation District, Cardinal Land Conservancy, Three Valley Conservation Trust and Fulton Soil and Water Conservation District respectively played significant roles in securing these agreements.

Since the Office of Farmland

Preservation began in 1998, 693 farms totaling 104,384 acres have entered into agreements. This enables Ohio to continually be a top producer, aiding not just Ohioans, but all Americans.

Funds from the purchase of these easements are invested in the local economy by the landowners who use them by expanding their farming operations, purchasing new equipment, reducing debt, adding conservation practices, planning for retirement, sending their children to college or for other purposes.

When the state purchases a farmland easement, the proceeds are plowed into Ohio’s economy and our agriculture industry is preserved for future generations.

Life Out Loud!

Little dog syndrome

I never thought I’d be one of those small dog owners, yet here I am absolutely LOVING it.

The thing with tiny dogs is, they’re so portable. I know there are risks with small dogs. They aren’t really great guard dogs. I have to stay vigilant against hawks and other larger animals (i.e. almost anything bigger than a bunny).

I realize you don’t hear of 10-pound Shih Tzus protecting their owners from, say, a bear. I’m not worried.

If necessary, I can pick Jackson up, and we can run. Not very fast, mind you, because I’m not a track star and his legs are 2 inches long, but we can make an effort.

Size. On the other hand, smaller size does NOT mean smaller dogs are more affordable. They are not.

Nova Grace developed Addison’s disease a few years ago. If you have to have a dog with a disease, Addison’s is, I’m told, the one you want to have. After a frightening near loss of life, much prayer and salvation, she was saved by a very dedicated friend and some amazing veterinary care.

Her disease is now managed with monthly medications. One of these being prednisone, which means she has the ravenous appetite of a shark.

Properly juiced up, she spends most of her time trying to figure out how to get food, steal food from the other dog, steal food from the cat, and perhaps make food appear out of thin air.

Due to her health issues and because I’m the Meanest Dog Mom

Ever (having honed my skills on parenting humans, it was an easy transition to pets), I do not allow the dogs to have table scraps. If she could dial a phone, she would absolutely have reported me to the Humane Society already.

Due to my being just terrible, I instead spend the equivalent of a car payment on monthly shipments of high priced pet food and

LET COOKOUTS SIZZLE

Food safety is the main ingredient to a successful cookout

WASHINGTON — Whether you’re a grill master or a first-time barbecue cook, food safety should always be part of your routine to ensure a healthy and happy Fourth of July.

“Recent USDA consumer behavior studies have shown that individuals don’t always properly wash their hands or use a food thermometer,” said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Emilio Esteban. “Show your family and friends that you’re a true grill master by cooking food to a safe temperature and washing your hands after handling raw meat and poultry.”

Ensure your food is safe to eat this Fourth of July by following these food safety steps:

• Clean: Scrub the grill clean before use. Clean utensils and plates before they touch food.

No access to a faucet? Carry bottled water, soap and paper towels. Wash your hands before and after handling raw meat and poultry. Follow proper handwashing steps to stop bacteria from spreading from your hands to your meal. Make sure to wet hands, lather with soap, scrub for 20 seconds, rinse and dry.

• Separate: Avoid cross contamination. Separate raw meat and vegetables by using different cutting boards. Place raw meat or poultry on one plate and cooked meat and poultry on another.

Don’t use the same utensils to place raw meat and poultry on the grill and take cooked food off.

• Cook: Use food thermometers to ensure your grilled food is ready. Insert the thermometer through the side of the patty until the probe reaches the center. Color is never a reliable indicator of doneness. Cook food to a safe minimum internal temperature by using a food thermometer:

• Cook whole cuts of meat to 145 degrees with a 3-minute rest time.

• Cook fish to 145 degrees.

• Cook ground meats to 160 degrees.

• Cook poultry (ground or whole) to 165 degrees. Although frozen products may appear to be pre-cooked or browned, treat them as raw food and cook thoroughly. Products labeled as “Cook and Serve,” “Ready to Cook” and “Oven Ready” must be cooked.

• Chill: Bacteria multiply rapidly between 40 degrees and 140 degrees — aka the Danger Zone. Perishable food should be consumed or refrigerated within two hours (one hour if outdoor temperatures are 90 degrees and above).

For more food safety information, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854, email MPHotline@usda.gov or chat live at ask.usda. gov from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

treats consisting of only the most natural ingredients including, but not limited to, unicorn tears (probably).

They’re worth it. They are, after all, categorized (by me) as Adorable Support Dogs. Jack is roughly the size of a large loaf of bread, fluffy and blonde. Nova is a sleek black ball of high energy (and that was before the prednisone).

Having been raised by us, GirlWonder married, moved out, and immediately adopted TWO small dogs of her own — as you do.

“Granddog” Grizzly is a former puppy mill survivor. Having spent probably two straight years confined to a cage, he had zero spatial awareness. He was afraid of stairs, benches and pretty much everything else.

He also had heartworm. Keeping him calm during treatment wasn’t hard. He barely came out of his crate for the first month. Since every dog needs a dog, they added a small maltese/yorkie mix adopted from the local pound almost immediately.

“Koda” is my other granddog and if you ask me — he’s clearly gifted. Koda is the tiniest dog I’ve ever personally been close to. He weighs 6.4 pounds. The .4 is very important for him to feel manly.

Jackson seems to enjoy having a dog around who is smaller than he is. Koda is also smaller than our cat. He remains unbothered by his size. Koda has all the small dog energy in the world.

Big. Due to a demanding summer law associate position, GirlWonder needed my assistance to escort Koda to a veterinary appointment. In the waiting room he was perched on my lap, just being absolutely darling and charming everyone in the room. A large dog who, if uniforms are to be believed, appeared to be a K9 officer, passed within inches of us. At that moment, the 6.4 pound floof on my lap LUNGED at this enormous beast. Our little guy was growling and carrying on AS IF HE COULD POSSIBLY TAKE ON 100+ pounds.

The highly trained dog barely blinked and continued on, unbothered. If you ask Koda, however, he absolutely vanquished that beast.

We had big dogs for years. Big dogs have many amazing talents. Our German shepherd patrolled the perimeter, herded the children, evicted all the raccoons, squirrels and stray cats, and kept our soccer balls deflated for 14 glorious years.

Still, as empty-nesters it was almost required that we become small dog parents. There are outfits. Coats when it’s too cold. Home set to just the right temperature even when we are away so the dogs are comfortable.

Honestly, I realize we are ridiculous. But we are enjoying ourselves very much. Boywonder and his fiancé have a very large golden retriever. Someone had to hold the family’s pride.

For the record, our tiny dogs are convinced they take him too.

They didn’t choose the tiny thug life. The tiny thug life chose them. (Kymberly Foster Seabolt welcomes comments at LifeOutLoud@comcast.net, P.O. Box 38, Salem, OH 44460; or KymberlyFosterSeabolt.com.)

Dye company known for its colorful ads

By Terry and Kim Kovel

Collectors of antique advertising look for vivid colors and eye-catching graphics. And who would have brighter colors than a dye company?

Today, few people buy fabric dyes outside of craft projects, but most families wore homemade clothes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Clothing was made to last, and items were often repaired or remade multiple times before they were retired. People would buy dyes for home use to make their clothing or give a new look to old clothes.

Diamond Dyes, a leading dye company around 1900, is known for its advertising. Their trade cards, advertising booklets and store cabinets are especially popular with collectors today. This cabinet with a colorful tin lithographed scene of children playing outdoors sold for $750 by Morford’s Antique Advertising. Watch out for reproductions!

• • •

Q. I bought several chairs from a resale shop. The shop owner said they came from the boardroom of Lockheed Martin. The chair seat and back are one piece of curved wood. The legs are silver metal. They are stackable. The sticker on the bottom says, “Westnofa Furniture made in Norway.” I only paid $15 each for them but was recently told they are valuable. Is this true?

A: Westnofa manufactured furniture that exemplifies midcentury Scandinavian design. The style became popular because of its simplicity and functional design, like the ability to stack the chairs. Your chair was designed by Oivind Iversen and is called the “City Chair.”

Mid-century furniture is in demand by decorators and collectors. Chairs like yours have recently sold for $50 to $100 each. However, your friend is correct: If you have a set of six to eight, they can sell for upwards of $200 each.

CURRENT PRICES

TIP

If the photograph album you buy smells like plastic, don’t use it. The fumes will eventually destroy the pictures. (For more collecting news, tips and resources, visit www.Kovels.com. ©2023 King Features Synd., Inc.)

War reenactment at Fort Laurens

BOLIVAR, Ohio — Ohio’s only Revolutionary War-era fort, Fort Laurens, will host its 48th annual Revolutionary War Reenactment, July 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and July 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors can watch a mock skirmish for American Independence with volunteer reenactors from the Brigade of the American Revolution.

Founded in 1962, the Brigade is a national organization with more than 1,000 member reenactors and living history interpreters. The event includes a variety of demonstrations on 18th century cooking,

medicine, skirmish and artillery, as well as interactions with those portraying Colonial and British soldiers of the era.

Food, merchandise vendors, musical entertainment and kid’s activities also are featured. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children 12 and under, with all proceeds being applied to the preservation and educational efforts of Fort Laurens. Museum access is included in the ticket price.

More information is available at fortlaurensmuseum.org or by calling 330-874-2059.

Fort Laurens is Ohio’s only Revolutionary War fort and features a museum, memorial, Tomb of the Unknown Patriot and visible outline of the original fort. The site was considered a stepping stone across the West to stage an attack on the British at Fort Detroit during the American Revolution.

Fundraising and plans are currently underway by the Friends of Fort Laurens Foundation to eventually rebuild the fort. Along with Historic Zoar Village, Fort Laurens is managed by the Zoar Community Association.

Speaker discusses

Native

American history, culture

BOLIVAR, Ohio — Fort Laurens Museum’s next Free Speaker Series event is scheduled for July 1 at 11 a.m. in the Fort Laurens theater.

Currently residing in Wheeling, West Virginia, Fitzpatrick is the author of six books about 18th century Native Americans, including “Wilderness War on the Ohio,” “In Their Own Words” and “The Place of the Skull.”

He is also known for painting oil portraits of his subjects in his books. Fitzpatrick has lectured for over a decade about the Native American culture in Ohio during the French and Indian Wars through the American Revolution.

Curator on a mission to return heirlooms

By Kirsten Grieshaber Associated Press

MUNICH (AP) — Matthias Weniger put on a pair of white cloth gloves and carefully lifted a tarnished silver candleholder, looking for a yellowed sticker on the bottom of it.

The candlestick is one of 111 silver objects at the Bavarian National Museum that the Nazis stole from Jewish families during the Third Reich in 1939.

That’s when they ordered all German Jews to bring their personal silver objects to pawn shops across the Reich — one of many laws created to humiliate, punish and exclude Jews.

What started with anti-Jewish discrimination and persecution in 1933, after the Nazis were voted to power in Germany, led to the murder of 6 million European Jews and others in the Holocaust before World War II ended with Germany’s surrender in 1945.

Mission. Weniger, who is a curator at the Munich museum and oversees its restitution efforts, has made it his mission to return as many of the silver objects as possible to the descendants of the original owners.

“These silver objects handed in at the pawn shops are often the only material things that remain from an existence wiped out in the Holocaust,” Weniger told The Associated Press in an interview at the museum’s workshop where he displayed some silver items that have yet to be restituted.

“Therefore it’s really important to try to find the families and give back the objects to them,” he added.

Thousands of the pieces taken from Jewish families were melted into around 135 tons of silver, and used to help Germany’s war efforts. But several museums ended up with hundreds of silver pieces such as candlesticks used to light candles on the eve of Shabbat, Kiddush cups to bless the wine, silver spoons and cake servers.

Some of the items were returned to Holocaust survivors in the 1950s and 1960s, if they came forward and actively tried to retrieve their stolen possessions. But many owners were murdered in the Holocaust or, if they succeeded to flee from the Nazis, ended up in far-flung corners of the globe.

“Two thirds of the last owners did not survive the Shoah,” Weniger said.

Despite these odds, and with a combination of thorough detective work, dedication and deep knowledge of history, Weniger has so far managed to return about 50 objects to the family members and relatives of the original owners.

He’s convinced that he may be able to return almost all remaining objects by the end of this year.

Method. First, he searches for the identity of the original owners. The little yellowed paper stickers on some of the pieces often help his efforts. They were put on the objects by the pawn shops — a testament to Germans’ obsessive bureaucracy even in times of dictatorship and war.

The numbers on the stickers are also listed on more than 80-year-old documents naming the people who had to give away their silver — sometimes beloved heirlooms that had been passed down in families for many generations.

Once Weniger discovers the names of the original owners, he starts looking up Jewish obituary and genealogy databases, in hopes that direct descendants or more distant relatives may have posted their names online.

“And so you get from one generation to the next generation and you end up with telephone books … with LinkedIn, with Facebook, with Instagram or email addresses that correspond to a member of the younger generation of that family,” the researcher explained.

In most of the cases, Weniger says he gets lucky and is able to track down the right relatives.

The majority of descendants live in the United States and Israel, but the museum has already or

is in the process of also returning silver pieces to France, the United Kingdom, Australia and Mexico.

Personal delivery. Weniger makes a point of personally delivering the pieces to the families. He traveled to the U.S. earlier this year, and last week, he returned 19 pieces to families in Israel.

There, Weniger met up with Hila Gutmann, 53, and her father Benjamin Gutmann, 86, at his home in Kfar Shmaryahu north of Tel Aviv, and gave them a small silver cup.

Weniger had managed to track down the family with the help of the tracing service of Magen David Adom — Israel’s version of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The cup was likely used for Kiddush to bless the wine on the eve of Shabbat — but nobody knows for sure because the original owners, Bavarian cattle dealer Salomon Gutmann and his wife, Karolina, who were the grandparents of Benjamin, were murdered by the Nazis in the Treblinka extermination camp.

“It was a mixed feeling for us to get back the cup,” Hila Gutmann said. “Because you understand it’s the only thing that’s left of them.”

While the grandparents of Benjamin Gutmann were murdered in the Holocaust, their son Max — Benjamin’s father — survived because he fled from the Nazis to the British-mandated territory of Palestine, in what is now Israel.

Despite the pain triggered by the loss and return of the silver cup, the Gutmanns say they’re happy to have it back and plan to use it in a ceremony with all their other relatives on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in September.

As for Weniger, the Gutmanns have nothing but praise for him and his work.

“He’s really dedicated to it,” Hila Gutmann said. “He treats these little objects with so much care — like they are holy.”

Response to derailment hampered by poor communication

By Josh Funk AP Business Writer

During a public hearing in East Palestine — where thousands of residents had to evacuate their homes because of the derailment — National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Jennifer Homendy asked why it took Norfolk Southern so long to provide details of the freight to first responders. One local fire chief said it was about 45 minutes before his crew received that information. Knowing what was on the train helps firefighters determine the proper response.

Least bad option. East Palestine

Fire Chief Keith Drabick said June 22 that there was a consensus in the command center that releasing and burning the chemicals was the “least bad option.”

Railroad experts and contractors

who helped with the emergency response said they believed they had no choice except to use explosives to blow a hole in the tank cars to release and burn the vinyl chloride. Moving the cars or draining the chemicals were not options.

Temperature readings and malfunctioning pressure relief valves led experts to believe a chemical reaction was taking place inside the tank cars that was building pressure, and that this could cause an explosion.

Drew McCarty with Specialized Profession Services said one of the tank cars “frankly scared the hell out of us” when it violently released vinyl chloride with a roar after hours of calm. McCarty said that, combined with his decades of experience, made him think the cars could explode.

Officials from Oxy Vinyls — the company that produced the vinyl chloride — said they were convinced that the chemical remained stable

inside those cars and they tried to explain that to the railroad before officials decided to vent the cars and burn the vinyl chloride, but Norfolk Southern didn’t explain that to decision makers. Tests the company did later showed no evidence that the reaction had occurred.

Drabick said it would have been helpful to know about Oxy Vinyls’ opinion at the time, but he doesn’t think it would have changed the decision.

Norfolk Southern’s Robert Wood said even if there wasn’t a chemical reaction, officials were still concerned that the tank cars could fail and release the vinyl chloride.

“If that car fails, that is a large cloud of liquefied flammable gas that’s going to light off and can have devastating consequences,” Wood said.

Lack of training. Drabick and other first responders who testified

said firefighters need more training — particularly volunteer firefighters like those first on the scene after the derailment — on how to handle hazardous materials. But he conceded it would be hard to imagine ever being fully ready for a disaster of that magnitude.

“I don’t think you can ever be prepared for something like this,” Drabick said.

Ohio officials said volunteer firefighters receive only 36 hours of initial training when they are certified — significantly less than the 200 hours professional firefighters receive — and that includes no hazardous materials training.

The fire chiefs said the initial response to the derailment was complicated because the radios used by the different departments don’t work with each other. It also took

Response to Ohio derailment hampered by poor communication

(Continued from Page B17)

time for emergency responders to discover exactly what the train was carrying because the first firefighters on scene didn’t have access to the AskRail app that railroads developed to provide that information. The train crew that also had that information was a mile away after moving the locomotive and didn’t immediately connect with first responders.

Drabick said it took about 45 minutes for his department to discover what was in the cars. Homendy said the railroad didn’t immediately provide that information to dispatchers and officials who requested it.

GARDENING BEAVER COUNTY

Eventually, officials learned about the dangerous nature of the cargo and pulled firefighters back from the derailment site. They also ordered the evacuation of all homes within one mile.

Cause. The NTSB said in its preliminary report that an overheated bearing on one of the railcars likely caused the derailment, but it could take more than a year before the agency publishes its final report. The bearing started heating up miles before the derailment, according to sensors on the tracks, but it didn’t get hot enough to trigger an alarm until just before the crash. The crew had little time to react.

Home preservation event. Penn State Extension, in collaboration with the Beaver County Library System, will offer Introduction to Drying from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. July 8 at the B.F. Jones Memorial Library, Aliquippa. The workshop will focus on various drying methods, the importance of blanching, the basic principles behind drying fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat to ensure a safe product, and what to look for when buying a dehydrator.

The fee is $15 per person. Space is limited; the registration deadline is the July 7 Pre-registration is required at https://extension.psu.edu/introduction-to-drying or by calling 877- 345-0691. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided, contact the Penn State Extension Office in Beaver at 724-371-2067 in advance of your participation.

Food preservation webinars. Penn State Extension will offer a series of home food preservation webinars throughout the summer and fall on topics such as pressure canning, atmospheric steam canning and pickling.

Video gathered by investigators showed sparks or fire beneath one of the rail cars starting at least 26 miles before the derailment in Salem, Ohio. The hearing June 23 focused on tank car safety and the trackside detectors. This derailment and others generated nationwide concern about railroad safety and prompted members of Congress to propose reforms.

Norfolk Southern’s CEO Alan Shaw was grilled at two Senate hearings where he apologized for the derailment and promised to make things right in East Palestine.

Rare Maurice Sendak picture story to be published in 2024

By Hillel Italie

AP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A rare Maurice Sendak picture story, originally a pamphlet for a 1970 museum fundraiser, will be coming out in book form next year.

HarperCollins Publishers announced Thursday that Sendak’s “Ten Little Rabbits” is scheduled for Feb. 6. “Ten Little Rabbits” is a “count-along picture book,” according to HarperCollins, about a boy magician named Mino and his magic hat. Sendak sketched out Mino and the hat in black and white, while filling in the rabbits in yellow and blue among other colors.

“Maurice’s black and white line drawings have a playfulness and

charm that stand up to his glorious full-color artwork in a way that is uniquely their own,” Antonia Markiet, editorial director of HarperCollins Children’s Books, said in a statement.

Sendak conceived the pamphlet for the Philadelphia-based Rosenbach Museum, where he became a trustee in 1973 and later served as honorary president. For decades he left the artwork of such classics as “Where the Wild Things Are” and “In The Night Kitchen” at the museum, which returned his work to Sendak’s estate in 2014, two years after he died at age 83.

HarperCollins acquired the 32page book from the not-for-profit Maurice Sendak Foundation. Sendak’s original pamphlet, just 3.5 x 2.5 inches, has been enlarged to 7 x

9 inches. Used editions of the original “Ten Little Rabbits,” published by the museum, are available on the Internet for $50 and higher. The new release has a list price of $19.95.

“Little Mino the Magician is able to conjure up magic with the wave of his wand, much like Maurice himself could with his pen. We are so pleased to bring this gem to a whole new generation of readers,” Lynn Caponera, president and treasurer of The Maurice Sendak Foundation, said in a statement.

Other posthumous Sendak releases, also published by HarperCollins, include “My Brother’s Book” and “Presto and Zesto in Limboland.”

The grants will help reduce or eliminate the local financial burden associated with critical infrastructure needs such as new water distribution systems, waterline extensions, water tower replacements and new pipes and water mains. Grants will also fund projects to replace sanitary sewer systems, prevent sewer system backups and extend sewer lines to allow for economic growth.

The Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure program was launched in

2021 as a continuation of Governor DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative. In total, $500 million has been dedicated to the program, and a fifth round awarding additional funding will be announced later this summer. In addition to water infrastructure upgrades, Ohio BUILDS invests in a broad range of projects to improve quality of life and support economic growth such as broadband expansion, brownfield redevelopment, the demolition of blighted buildings and more.

FoR SaLe BY THe owneR

My family’s summer vacation was broken up into four segments over one w eek. When completed, our road trip would look roughly like an oval, or even more like a kidney bean.

After our first stop at Caesar Creek State Park in Ohio, we traveled south toward Kentucky. We passed over bridges in Cincinnati while the kids peered out their windows at the various stadiums and businesses downtown. It was quite

a change from our rolling hills and wide-open fields at home.

We were on our way to Mammoth Cave National Park in south central Kentucky. The park’s 52,000 acres is a playground for hikers, boaters and cave explorers. I wanted the opposite of a sunny beach vacation and a characteristic of a cave is complete darkness. Even though Mammoth Cave was a new destination for my family, it has a rich history as a vacation destination.

Big attraction. Mammoth Cave is known for being the longest cave system in the world. As of now, there are over 400 miles of explored caves. Some scientists estimate that there are possibly another 600 miles still to be explored. Mammoth Cave was one of the first scenic attractions in the United States.

Named for its massive size, Mammoth Cave’s tourism is thought to have begun in 1816. Before tourism, the cave system was mined for saltpeter during the War of 1812. The large underground passages and

chambers fell under the category of “big is beautiful” like other natural wonders in the United States like the Grand Canyon and giant sequoias. Steamboat and railroad travel increased tourism to the area.

Exploration and tourism continued to grow until the need for preservation became evident. Many citizens advocated for the area to be established as a national park. Mammoth Cave was dedicated as a national park on July 1, 1941. Workers staying at several CCC camps improved and created trails throughout the cave’s passageways. Work was done above ground as well planting trees and creating stone structures.

Laborers also improved lodging available in the park including the woodland cottages. We stayed in the campground next to the cottages and only a quarter of a mile from the visitor center. During our three days at the park, we never had to get back into our vehicle. Another bonus to our camping trip was that our friends met us there and camped with us.

Cave tour. We did all the regular camping things like playing cards by firelight and roasting s’mores but at

the top of our list of activities was a cave tour. Several months earlier, we

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

A perfect evening

Last weekend, on a Saturday, I knew that I’d been blessed. I spent a perfect evening of country at its best.

That night in the assembly hall where cowboys would perform, I felt an air of country charm. The welcome there was warm.

With a humble ceremony, our flag was marched up to the stage. We stood and took our hats off; even those of younger age.

We gave respect to our great flag and showed our true alliance, when the audience all joined in with The Pledge of Allegiance.

The program could have ended there. I’d felt my feelings swell. But the entertainers stole the night. They sang and spoke so well.

The room was filled with cowboys wearing boots and chaps alike. We were ‘bout to be enlightened. It was time to grab the mike.

Some of the cowboys played guitar and sang a song or two. And some recited poetry of cowboys they’d once knew.

The emcees handed down their jokes and sang a cowboy song. They both knew how to run a show and moved it right along.

The cowboys and the cowgirls all had honed their talents well. Their talents and enthusiasm made an easy sell.

Each one of the performers wore a smile across their face. It wasn’t hard to tell that they were in their happy place.

And when the night was over I reflected on the show. The cowboy way is still alive, much more than most would know.

I must confess how proud this cowboy program made me feel. We live here in this country where our freedoms are for real.

We enjoyed a country evening and we showed our flag respect. And no one in the room was there to keep us all in-check.

I’m thankful that I live where I can shake a cowboy’s hand. ‘Cuz yes, the cowboy still exists, from his indelible brand.

So if the cowboy program ever comes back into town. Let’s see if we can fill the seats. Don’t let those cowboys down!

Report sightings of turkey and grouse broods this summer

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife is asking the public to report wild turkeys and ruffed grouse observed throughout the summer for the annual brood survey.

Wildlife biologists use turkey and grouse brood surveys to estimate population statuses. Brood surveys rely on public reports of turkeys and grouse seen in July and August, when female birds and their young are most active. Community scientists are encouraged to submit observations on the Wildlife Reporting System webpage at wildohio.gov or on the HuntFish OH mobile app.

Observers of wild turkeys are asked to report the number of gobblers, hens and young turkeys (poults) seen. Information collected about ruffed grouse includes the number of adults and young viewed. Record the date and county where the observation occurred and include as many details as possible with your report. Biologists have tracked summer observations of wild turkeys since 1962, and grouse since 1999.

Similar brood surveys are conducted by other states throughout the wild turkey’s range. Information submitted to Ohio’s brood surveys helps predict future population changes and guide management decisions.

Stats. Wild turkey brood surveys in 2021 and 2022 showed above average nest productivity that benefitted turkey populations after several years of below average results. The statewide average poults per hen in 2022 was 3, and in 2021 it was 3.1. The 10-year average is 2.7 poults per hen.

Regionally, the average poults per hen was 2.4 in central counties, 3.8 in the northwest, 3.3 in the northeast, 2.8 in the southeast, and 2.4 in the southwest. Turkey brood success is largely influenced by weather conditions, although habitat, predators, and more are factors as well. Because of habitat availability, Ohio’s turkey populations are strongest in the eastern and southern counties.

Beginning in 2023, the division of wildlife is conducting ongoing research on wild turkeys in coordination with The Ohio State University.

Biologists are using GPS transmitters to track the movement, survival, and nesting activities of 49 hens in eastern Ohio. This project is part of a multi-state research collaboration involving Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Turkeys had disappeared from Ohio by 1904, and their return is a conservation success story. The division of wildlife restored turkeys in the 1950s by releasing birds from other states. Today, turkeys can be found across Ohio. Turkeys prefer a mix of wooded and open habitat and are often seen in the morning in fields near forests.

Ruffed grouse inhabit Ohio’s heavily forested regions. Grouse occur in the greatest numbers in young, regenerating forests, especially those less than 20 years old. Habitat loss has driven grouse population declines since the 1980s. In addition, susceptibility to West Nile Virus has likely caused further population declines since the early 2000s.

For more information on grouse and turkey, visit the wildlife species page at wildohio.gov.

Wetland saved by H2Ohio in Portage Co.

KENT, Ohio — As part of Gov. Mike DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources celebrated the Bird Family Bog Rehabilitation Project with a ribbon cutting ceremony, June 23. The new project in Portage County will be used to help improve water quality in the region.

The 170-acre property is along the Cuyahoga River watershed in Kent, Ohio. The Bird Family Bog

project will help improve water quality by preserving the bog and transforming formerly farmed land into future wetlands. The land was acquired by the West Creek Conservancy using $697,000 from the H2Ohio initiative, along with funds from the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Program. West Creek carried out the restoration and reforestation work. Future plans include paved trails and new wetlands.

The ribbon cutting headlined a bioblitz event, where members of the community visited the bog to help identify as many species and plants as possible in one day.

The Portage Park District will provide additional habitat management with plans to open the area to the public with a paved trail. The Nature Conservancy is working to create new wetlands around the bog.

Finding what lies beneath at Mammoth Cave National Park

had booked a historic tour online. We wanted a tour less than two hours in length and we didn’t want to be crawling through teeny-tiny tight spaces.

On a previous trip with our two combined families, we experienced a nervous child for the duration of a cave tour. We wanted to be sensitive to any insecurities while still experiencing the caves. A fully lit walking tour about the history of the caves checked off all the criteria. The first enormous chamber was our first indication that we would not be disappointed.

After following our guide past a waterfall and down a long passageway, we could see the remnants of a saltpeter mine. He informed us that without the saltpeter mined from Mammoth Cave, the United States wouldn’t have had the gunpowder

during the War of 1812. He stressed that thanks to Mammoth Cave, we drive on the right side of the road.

While the cave helped freedom ring loudly for our nation, ironically many people working in the mines were enslaved. One particular African American slave, Stephen Bishop, was one of the first to make maps of the cave. He was also the first person to cross the Bottomless Pit, a 105foot deep pit within the cave system. When he crossed the pit by crawling across a wooden ladder with a lantern hanging in his mouth, he enabled the exploration of many more miles of cave passageways beyond the pit.

Challenges. Three significant areas proved challenging for our family. The girls felt a little claustrophobic descending into the area known as Fat Man’s Misery. The passageway narrowed down to a crevice only pass-

able by turning sideways. The next section, Tall Man’s Misery, required stooping and walking like a duck.

My most challenging section was climbing the 65-foot tower located in Mammoth Dome. The tower is like a fire tower with open grates and risers. I am not a fan of heights. The tower was so eerie with the dim lighting in the cave, I declared loudly that the experience was going to be repeated in my nightmares. So much for bravery in front of the children on the tour. Our tour went to a depth of 300 feet below ground. It was a journey that informed us and amazed us. It made us realize that there is so much more to our surroundings than what meets the eye on the surface.

Senecaville Hatchery closed to visitors

SENECAVILLE, Ohio — Senecaville State Fish Hatchery is closed to the public while projects are ongoing, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

Planned improvements include installing new water supply lines from Seneca Lake to the hatchery, renovating fish production ponds and upgrading the fish holding house. The hatchery will remain operational

for fish production. Improvements are expected to be completed by the fall of 2023, at which time the hatchery will re-open to the public.

Senecaville State Fish Hatchery is at 57199 Seneca Dam Road, Senecaville. The hatchery lies on more than 120 acres of land. It was constructed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1938 and transferred to the division of wildlife in 1987. The most recent

hatchery renovations were in 1995. Senecaville State Fish Hatchery has 37 ponds and 16 indoor rearing troughs. Water is supplied to the hatchery by Seneca Lake. This water supply allows the hatchery to raise saugeye, walleye, hybrid-striped bass and channel catfish. Saugeye, walleye and hybrid-striped bass production begins in the spring. Channel catfish production occurs in the summer.

Penn State researchers study beech leaf disease

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In the woods of the northeastern U.S., a strange disease is creeping through the canopies. Spreading quickly, it causes leaves and branches to wither and, in many cases, the tree to eventually die.

The arboreal ailment — beech leaf disease — currently has no known treatment or cure, putting large swaths of trees or even entire forests in jeopardy. But researchers in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences are on the case, spearheading ongoing efforts to learn more about the disease and how to combat it.

“This is a big problem for our forests, as well as the trees in our own backyards,” said Cristina Rosa, associate professor of plant virology. “Many species of wildlife depend on beech trees for food and shelter, in addition to the Pennsylvania citizens who value the forests for recreation. It’s vital that we learn more about this disease and how, eventually, to overcome it.”

Symptoms. While beech leaf disease first was observed in Ohio in 2012, it is now particularly widespread in Pennsylvania, with all 67 counties currently affected, said Mihail Kantor, assistant research professor of nematology. Early symptoms of the disease include a dark green banding pattern between the veins of leaves before more severe symptoms spread to the rest of the tree.

While the exact cause and mechanism of the disease is under investigation, Kantor said researchers now know that infection with beech leaf disease is associated with a particular species of nematode — tiny worms that feed on plant cells, bacteria, fungi and other microscopic creatures.

This nematode species, Litylenchus crenatae mccannii, was previously found to be associated with trees suffering from the disease.

“Based on data from a research collaboration with scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, we know the nematodes enter the buds and feed on the leaves while they’re still developing within the bud, which can cause morphological changes in the leaf,” Kantor said. “And then, when the buds open, the nematodes can spread amongst the leaves. But we’re not sure if the nematodes are the only ones causing the disease, or if, for example, they somehow facilitate other pathogens to enter the plant cells and cause the infections.”

To help better understand the disease, the researchers are currently examining how beech leaf disease is affecting trees in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest. In collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service, they identified 50 sites within the forest that contained beech trees.

Mapping. Andrew Miles, a graduate student in plant biology, took the lead in traveling to the sites last fall to gather data on what symptoms were present and their severity.

“Because the Allegheny Forest is Pennsylvania’s only national forest, it’s really important for recreation and

ecologically,” Miles said. “My grandfather has hunted there since the 1930s, and he’s also noticed those distinctive bands in the forest canopy. So, people who utilize the forest for recreation are starting to get very concerned.”

Using this data from more than 200 trees, Miller created a disease severity map to illustrate the spread and intensity of beech leaf disease across the forest. The researchers found that about 90% of the sites — including very remote locations and different types of wooded areas — contained trees that were infected with beech leaf disease.

Gaining understanding. As part of the project, the research team also examined the differences between infected and noninfected leaves on a microbial level, an effort led by Sharifa Crandall, assistant professor of soilborne disease dynamics and management.

“Microbes interact directly with plants and the environment and are a critical component of tree health,” Crandall said. “Fungi and bacteria, for example, can have beneficial or pathogenic interactions with plants, just like the microbes on our skin and digestive tract. We wanted to understand which microbial community members are associated with beech leaf disease and what we can hypothesize about their function.”The team took tissue from both infected and noninfected leaves that were gathered from different sites in the Allegheny National Forest and identified specific groups of bacteria and fungi that were associated with the disease.

One finding was a direct correlation between the bud and leaf microbiome in diseased tissue, where shifts in the composition occur before the bud breaks and the leaf emerges. This, according to the researchers, indicates that the stage at which leaves develop in the bud could have a role in shaping the interaction between the host microbiome and/or beech leaf disease pathogens.

While they have some explanations, the researchers said, they still have many questions to answer to understand the disease. For example, they will repeat the microbiome analysis over the spring and early summer to see if results differ from those found in the fall. Additionally, while scientists know that nematodes are present in trees infected with beech leaf disease, they’re not clear about how nematodes travel through the canopy.

Mahoning County gets spray mosquito control

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County Public Health center received 2023 Ohio EPA Mosquito Control

Grant Funding for mosquito control measures, one of which includes spraying for adult mosquito control.

Spraying will help reduce the population of mosquitos and help prevent the spread of mosquito borne diseases such as West Nile Virus.

Adult mosquito control will occur in the following limited areas within Mahoning County:

• July 24: Mill Creek Park and Chaparral Campgrounds

• August 21: Coy Park, Boardman Township Park, Austintown Township Park, Poland Township Park, Poland Village Park, Canfield Township Park, Western Reserve Campgrounds, Lakeside Campground, and Lake Milton KOA Campground.

Spraying will be performed between dusk and dawn, and if rainy or windy conditions are present, then spraying will be postponed. If you have any beehives in these areas, call the Environmental Health Division at 330-270-2855 so spraying can be avoided in those locations.

Remember that many mosquito problems are the result of breed-

ing sites around the home. Spraying is not effective in controlling the breeding sites of mosquitos.

The following practices should be followed to help eliminate mosquito breeding sites around the home:

• Empty or throw away containers in your yard that can collect water such as tires, buckets, bottles, toys, etc.

• Change water in pet bowls, bird baths and flowerpot saucers at least twice a week.

• Clean clogged rain gutters.

• Repair leaky outdoor faucets.

• Keep water from accumulating on tarps and boat cover.s

Bio-friendly larvicides, commonly known as “mosquito dunks” can be purchased at local garden and hardware stores. These will control larval growth in wet areas around the home for several weeks without harming other animals.

Protect yourself from mosquito bites by covering exposed skin by wearing long sleeves and long pants, avoiding outdoor activity when mosquitoes are most active such as dusk and dawn, avoiding areas with heavy mosquito activity, Using repellents on exposed skin and inspecting window and door screens and repair any holes.

Beach leave disease can cause a thickening of the leaves between the veins before killing off the leaves.

Hunters Sharing the Harvest reports historic totals

GREENVILLE, Pa. — Pennsylvania deer hunters fed the hungry in historic fashion during the 2022-23 hunting season — donating a total of 235,532 pounds of venison from 6,201 deer and four elk via Hunters Sharing the Harvest — Pennsylvania’s nationally emulated venison donation program.

Totals. The season totals were announced by HSH executive director Randy Ferguson during the Pennsylvania Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus Reception at Tavern on the Hill in Enola, June 13.

Reflecting a nearly 25% increase, the recent season numbers eclipsed the previous record of 190,302 pounds from 4,896 deer donated during the 2020-21 hunting season.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has been a key supporting partner with HSH for many years, providing a substantial annual allocation of state and federal hunger relief funds to help HSH defray the costs associated with reimburs-

ing participating processors for their services.

As part of the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s herd management goals, deer hunters can harvest several deer in a year with appropriate tags. HSH provides an opportunity for hunters who might typically only harvest one or two deer for their family’s consumption to fill more tags, donating additional deer to help those in need in their community.

The HSH program is a coordinated effort of nearly 100 participating deer processors who accept donated deer from hunters and process the deer into 1-, 2- and 5-pound packages of ground venison for distribution to regional food banks and food pantries.

In its 32 years of operation, HSH has delivered 2.2 million pounds of hunter-donated venison, providing over 10 million servings to food insecure Pennsylvanians.

Processors. Hunters interested in donating a deer need only to le-

gally harvest, tag and field dress the deer and take it to a participating processor near them. The list of participating processors by county can be found at sharedeer.org/meatprocessors/.

HSH is actively seeking participating processors to augment its efforts in counties throughout Pennsylvania. Participating processors are reimbursed for their services and are the cornerstone of the HSH mission.

A volunteer force of nearly 60 county coordinators ensures that processors have the resources they need and that the public is aware of the program and the ways they can support the HSH mission. A list of county coordinators is available at sharedeer.org/area-coordinators/. Individuals interested in being a coordinator are encouraged to contact Ferguson at 866-474-2141 or by emailing him at randy@sharedeer. org.

Businesses wishing to support the mission of Hunters Sharing the

Harvest are encouraged to become a sponsor. HSH offers multiple levels of sponsorship to fit any organization’s budget. These supporting sponsors are a crucial source of operational support for the organization.

Those who do not hunt or who do not have extra deer to donate can support Hunters Sharing the

The best trees for wet-then-dry soil

By Jeff Rugg

Q. There is a surface storm drain in the back corner of our property. Water comes from several neighbors’ yards, so this area near the drain gets flooded and the soil is soggy. Later in summer, the same area will be dried out and cracked. A willow tree planted at the edge of the area only lasted 15 years. What kind of trees will grow in this soil condition? Are any of them evergreens? For screening purposes the tree needs to grow about 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide.

A: Let’s start with the willow first. They can live for 50 years, but if one lasted only 15 years it would not be a great surprise. They do get many kinds of diseases and even when they last a long time, they are dropping dead branches. You are better off without this tree; there are several better ones for this kind of location.

The flooded in spring and dry in summer soil condition is common to riverbanks and the high edges of the flood plain. If we look at trees native to this kind of condition, we can find some that are also good in landscapes.

In the large tree category, the silver maple is king of the riverbanks in much of the country. This tree is way overplanted in many towns, but this is the kind of place it belongs.

The red maple is also a lowland tree that will tolerate the summer drying out. For the first few years, it will help to water it during the summer dry period. Other maples that will do fine here are the sugar, Norway and hedge maples. All the maples have many varieties available that grow to different sizes.

The birches are good in wet areas and will grow better if given extra water in the hot summer months, even after they are established.

Hackberry trees are long-lived trees. They send their branches out high like an elm and can reach 50 feet by 50 feet.

Green ash trees are probably the best of all the ashes for this kind of location. If you are in an area with emerald ash borers, don’t plant an ash.

Honeylocusts are overused in urban landscapes, so I would skip that one. Cottonwood and sycamore are great woodland trees for this kind of soil condition, but neither are very good in landscapes around houses as they are both very messy trees.

A nice ornamental tree that will eventually grow to 50 feet high and 30 feet wide is the alder. It is often hard to find in nurseries but has nice catkins and seedpods that give it winter interest.

One of my favorite small trees is the serviceberry. It blooms in the spring and in June will have loads of berries that are great on your cereal for breakfast. It has nice fall color as well. There are many varieties, and some get to be 20 feet tall.

Arborvitae are good evergreens for wet soils; they might need some help for the first few years to get established, but after that, they will grow well. There are many skinny varieties, but the original species grows to 50 feet high and 20 feet across.

The red chokeberry is a 10-foot-tall shrub that fills in nicely and has white flowers in the spring and red fruit in the fall. The black chokeberry has black fruit and tends to sucker more. The viburnums are a diverse family of shrubs and small trees. The European and American cranberrybush species and the sargent viburnum will all grow 12 to 15 feet high and wide. The blackhaw viburnum can grow twice that and is often pruned to look like a tree. They all have spring flowers, fruit for birds and good fall color.

Trout stocking numbers up in W.Va.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice and the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced that the agency stocked nearly 130,000 more trout in 2023 compared to the previous year.

Between January and May, the WVDNR stocked 802,481 trout in lakes and streams around the state, which is a 19% increase over the 673,148 trout that were stocked dur-

ing the same period in 2022. Justice said in a statement that the increase is due in part to investments in hatchery infrastructure. One of the most significant investments was the expansion of the Bowden Hatchery from 40 fish rearing units to 60, which allows the WVDNR to produce an additional 100,000 pounds of trout. Other improvements have been made to the

Edray, Reed’s Creek and Tate Lohr hatcheries to shore up fish production, as well.

In addition to hatchery facility improvements, the increase in trout production can be attributed to warmer weather during the winter months, which created ideal conditions for trout to thrive. It is important to note that the long-term growth of the trout population is dependent on various factors, including habitat, weather patterns and other environmental elements, the West Virginia DNR said in a statement.

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

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

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