BOUNDARIES Meet our new editors

SALEM, Ohio — New leadership is taking over in the newsroom at Farm and Dairy, but they’re familiar names to readers of the 109-year-old publication.

Farm and Dairy Publisher Scot Darling announced that Rachel Wagoner stepped into the position of editor of Farm and Dairy, effective July 10. Wagoner is replacing Rebecca Miller, who left the company in June.

“She is likely a familiar name to many as she has served the last four of those years as a staff writer for Farm and Dairy, producing awardwinning work as recognized by the North American Agricultural Journalists and the National Newspaper Association,” Darling said.

Additionally, digital editor Sara Welch was promoted to managing editor to replace Aimee Tenzek, who worked in Farm and Dairy’s editorial department for 17 years.

Pig show at Ohio State Fair offers show-ring experience to disabled youth

By Rachel Wagoner rachel@farmanddairy.com

COLUMBUS — Miley Caldwell is no stranger to the show ring. She’s been showing pigs in Ohio and throughout the country for several years.

That’s why she wanted to be involved with the Breaking Boundaries Pig Show, a mentorship program for youth and young adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

The show, presented by the Ohio Pork Council and the OH-PIGS youth swine

program on July 28 at the Ohio State Fair, gave five participants with disabilities the opportunity to care for and show pigs in front of a state fair audience complete with judges with help from 25 youth mentors.

Miley wanted to share her love of the activity with others, but it also opened her eyes to the challenges others face on a daily basis.

“Giving them the same opportunity that my peers and I have just opens doors to see how working with animals can bring us all together,” she said.

Miley and her sister, Maddie, both of Leesburg, Ohio, mentored participant Joel Buyer during the show.

“Even though [he] was in a wheelchair, he was still very capable of showing a pig,” she said. “He wasn’t scared and was really excited about showing, which allowed him to do a great job.”

superintendent, and Cheryl Day, executive vice president of the Ohio Pork Council, came up with the idea last year for a show to accommodate children with different needs.

“We know the real-world life lessons that are gained in the show ring for so many youths around Ohio and the nation and we wanted to create that type of opportunity for this special group of young people, too,” Morgan said.

“While the experience may have only been for one evening at the state fair, we hope that for the young people and their families that this inaugural show created a lifelong memory that creates good emotions.”

Morgan said there were few dry eyes in the barn and a lot of smiles during the show. Day said it went so well that they hope to make it an annual event at the state fair. (Editor Rachel Wagoner can be reached at 724-2011544 or rachel@farmanddairy.com.)

“Her keen eye for detail, excellent copy-editing skills and deep familiarity with our stories make her a great fit for the job,” Darling said, of Welch.

Wagoner. Wagoner always dreamed of being a journalist, but she came to agriculture in a roundabout way. She grew up in Darlington, Pennsylvania, a rural part of Beaver County that borders Ohio. After college, she settled down in her hometown with a fourth-generation farm boy who grew up just over the hill from where she was raised.

She co-manages the family farm, Tall Pines Farms, with her husband and in-laws raising beef cattle and sheep. Wagoner and husband Chris have a 4-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter.

Wagoner is a proud state school graduate with a bachelor’s degree in mass media arts, journalism and communication studies from Clarion University of Pennsylvania.

She has over a decade of newsroom experience. She worked at several daily and weekly newspapers throughout western Pennsylvania, covering everything from education and community news to police and courts.

While at Farm and Dairy, Wagoner grew and deepened the newspaper’s energy coverage to explore how the clean energy transition is impacting rural communities and how the legacy of fossil fuel extraction is still impacting farmers today. She has won state, national and international awards for her writing and reporting, including stories on farmer suicide and mental health, beginning farmers and the dairy industry.

Welch. Welch grew up in the southeast corner of Portage County, Ohio, and attended Kent State University. She earned a Bachelor of Science in magazine journalism with a business minor.

Say you saw it in...

The bulk of Welch’s professional career prior to Farm and Dairy was spent in the sports department of the Record-Courier where she stretched a summer internship into five years of high school sports reporting as a freelancer and a staff writer.

She also worked at The Vindicator early in her career and did freelance work for SB Nation

Some career highlights include covering the Mogadore High School football team’s journey to the state championship in 2015, the women’s basketball NCAA Final Four in 2016 and the NBA Finals in 2015 and 2016.

She traded second-shift and long nights on the road for a quiet office in the back of the building, writing web content, when her daughter started kindergarten. In the seven years since, she’s fallen in love with conservation, wildlife and northeast Ohio’s unique ecosystems; she’s grown to respect the long hours and incredible risks farmers face every day and she’s written hundreds of how to’s featured on farmanddairy. com.

Welch couldn’t be more excited to work with Wagoner, writing Farm and Dairy’s next chapter, and she’s looking forward to connecting with readers across the rural landscapes of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Study looks at factors in storage root growth

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A Penn State researcher has received a $650,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to lead a multiuniversity team in a study focused on the anatomical, physiological and genetic factors underlying phosphorus-stress-induced reprogramming of storage root architecture.

The storage root is a specialized underground organ that undergoes modifications during its development to store nutrients. The researchers said the study is important because many storage roots are used as food, and several that accumulate high levels of carbohydrates — such as sweet potato and cassava — are staple crops important for food security.

Luis Duque, assistant research professor in storage root physiology, will use the four-year funding, coming through USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, to

spearhead an effort to understand the mechanisms and genetic structure responsible for the reduced secondary root growth of developing roots in sweet potato.

Although this project focuses on sweet potatoes, Duque noted, the findings could be applied to other crops such as cassava, potatoes, sugar beets and carrots. Therefore, he explained, this mechanism may have broad utility in agriculture.

Also leading the research team are Arthur Villodon, professor, Louisiana State University AgCenter Sweet Potato Research, and Bode Olukolu, assistant professor, University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Collaborating on the project are G. Craig Yencho, distinguished professor, North Carolina State University, and Jonathan Lynch, distinguished professor, Penn State.

Ohio State Fair Sale of Champions totals $547,500

COLUMBUS — The Ohio State Fair Sale of Champions livestock auction broke eight records and brought in a grand total in sales of $547,500 on Aug. 6 in the WCOL Celeste Center.

More than $421,000 from the sale will be used to fund the Virgil L. Strickler Youth Reserve Program to continue supporting Ohio youth in agriculture and beyond.

Youth Reserve Program. Established in 1995, the Youth Reserve Program was developed to reward junior exhibitors participating in the Ohio State Fair. The program was renamed earlier this year in honor of retiring Ohio State Fair General Manager Virgil Strickler, who was instrumental in the creation and implementation of the program. This year, $421,500 from the sale will go to the program.

Each sale category has a cap as to what the winning exhibitor will actually receive. The rest of the money raised over that cap goes to the Youth Reserve Program, which benefits other exhibitors through scholarships and awards. To date, the Youth Reserve Program has collected $4.6 million, supporting 44,500 youth across the state.

Sara Welch

I’m a couple of generations removed from the farm, which is unusual for someone working in Farm and Dairy’s editorial department.

My dad farmed my grandparents’ 50-acre farm when I was little. We had between 20 and 30 head of cattle. He baled hay, and planted enough soybeans or corn, depending on the year, to pay for the grain to feed the cattle. But it was a small operation. It was more like a hobby for him after he got done pouring concrete. I know he just did it because he loved it.

My uncles brought chickens and ducks to the farm at different times,

and there were plenty of barn kittens to chase down. My cousins and I swam in the pond and caught trophy-sized bluegill and bass (which really set me up to be disappointed fishing anywhere else). We had huge family gatherings and played the most epic games of hide-and-seek.

My grandparents’ farm was one of my favorite places to go growing up. But I wouldn’t call myself a farm kid. Don’t ask me to back up a trailer. Horses are beautiful but, also, kind of terrifying. And, I’m definitely not enough of a morning person to put myself in the same sentence as those of you getting up at 4 a.m. to go feed your livestock or milk your cows.

I’m a rural kid, and I stayed in my hometown to raise my daughter in the woods where I grew up. And that’s just it, I’m a woods kid.

When my dad sold the cattle and stopped farming, he bought a little over five acres of wooded wetlands. Standing on the road, you couldn’t even see the hill where he and my mom built their house.

Somehow I knew those woods and the creek that ran through them were always going to feel like home.

Ironically, that land had been used as cattle pasture or butted up next to a cattle pasture a generation earlier. My siblings and I pieced together the

history of the place, uncovering old farming equipment, abandoned fence posts and, occasionally, cattle remains as we roamed through the woods and our neighbor’s crop field behind our house.

Incidentally, that’s pretty much still how I spend my time — outdoors, in the woods, camping and hiking — when I’m not in the office or at one of my daughter’s many activities.

I wouldn’t call myself a farm kid because I respect what that means to the kids who really grew up on farms. But the truth is, we share this corner of the world, and whether you make the designation of on-the-farm or offthe-farm, we’re more alike than we are different. I care about the land, what it produces and all the creatures that live there just as much as you do. You can teach me about the ins and outs of farm life, and I’ll tell your stories. If we happen across each other at the corner store, I’ll hold the door for you, and say, “Thank you,” when you hold it for me.

I look forward to serving all of Farm and Dairy’s readership, and I welcome feedback at sara@farmanddairy.com.

The red hot hounds of summer continue to be running loose

Latin for “big dog” — “appears to rise alongside the sun.” That sun/Sirius pairing, they believed, always delivered the hottest days each mid- to late summer.

The ancients were on to something. Typically, the highest temps of the year happen after the sky’s two big dogs join forces. This year’s “dog days” run from July 3 through Aug. 11, according to that book of all things wise and farm-tested, the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Alan Guebert Farm & Food File

And right on cue, the dogs hit their stride in July and continue to run wild today.

York Times July 18. By the end of July, that unofficial number was nearing 31 million acres and the fires, like the dogs, aren’t finished yet. No matter when the fires end, 2023 will likely double the previous, 1989 record of “over 18 million” acres destroyed.

Life holds challenges for each of us

Being brave comes from a subjective point of view. When I interviewed a POW survivor, I quickly realized his experience while held captive in Vietnam was forever etched so deeply that it changed his ability to bear the simple conversations the rest of us have about what we consider daily challenges.

Paul Kari told me when he finally was able to return to his family farm in Ohio, in hopes of reclaiming it, he was not stymied by the reality that his parents had sold it, considering him dead.

Judith Sutherland

“We should be inspired by people who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong — even in the most difficult circumstances.”

— Rachel Corrie

Though few are forced to find out, I doubt there is anyone who would not be motivated toward survival if placed in some of life’s most dire conditions.

They had moved out west, in hopes of putting the pain of his loss behind them. His wife, too, had moved on, as he was assumed dead.

Their son had survived the most unspeakable acts of torture while serving as one of the longest-held prisoners of war in Vietnam. How did he rise above the constant beatings and starvation? By picturing himself back on the family farm.

He told me it was the farm that helped him hold on, day after day. “I could put myself there, and rise above the reality I was forced to endure. One day, I told myself, I will be

back working that land, enjoying my mother’s cooking when noon came each day,” he told me.

Upon returning to the States to work through rehabilitation, blind from starvation, Lt. Col. Kari learned that the farm he had held on to had been sold. In spite of the hurdles to reclaim life as he once knew it, the freed officer refused to accept negative circumstances. He worked on his health, regained his strength and waited for the farm to become available.

On the day I interviewed him, his new wife and their 7-year-old daughter joined us in the farmhouse kitchen. Paul Kari was proud of all he had accomplished and was perhaps most pleased to be able to call his childhood farm and home his own.

He was kind and generous, but he was also filled with such tense, high energy I could barely keep up with him as I tried to learn his life story.

He acknowledged his demons. He was unable to enjoy his tractor cab without leaving the door open. The door to every room in his house (Continued On Page

Five Ohio counties added to spotted lanternfly quarantine

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced last week that there are several new spotted lanternfly infestations across the state, including Columbus and Toledo.

As a result of new detections, Franklin, Hamilton, Lucas, Mahoning and Muskingum counties will be added to the spotted lanternfly quarantine area.

In 2021, ODA designated the spotted lanternfly as a destructive plant pest and established regulations aimed at reducing the risk of spread. In quarantine areas, spotted lanternfly infestations have been confirmed and inspections are increased. Cuyahoga, Lorain and Jefferson counties are also quarantined.

The spotted lanternfly was first detected in the U.S. in Pennsylvania in 2014. It was likely brought to the U.S. by imported goods. The first confirmation of this pest in Ohio was in Mingo Junction, in Jefferson County, in 2020. A population was detected in Cleveland in September 2021.

Details. The spotted lanternfly is an invasive insect native to Asia. It’s

not a danger to humans, but it is a pest to many plants and trees.

Spotted lanternflies will feed on the sap of more than 100 species of trees and other plants, but its favorite is an invasive tree known as the tree of heaven. Researchers have found lanternflies rarely kill the plants they feed on, but high populations of the bugs can cause damage and stress to plants, impacting yields and the quality of harvests.

Host plants are harmed by being fed on and by the secretions spotted lanternflies leave behind. The sticky secretion, called honeydew, promotes the growth of sooty mold, which is extremely damaging, especially to fruit crops. These secretions can also attract other pests to feed on a host plant.

Spotted lanternflies are a grave concern to vineyard operators and the wine industry as the bugs have been shown to kill grape vines. The grape and winery industry in Ohio contributes more than $6 billion dollars in economic activity to the state yearly.

In late summer and into fall, spotted lanternflies are in their adult

stage. They are approximately one inch, with black bodies and colorful red and grey wings with black markings. They will lay eggs beginning in October. Freshly laid egg masses have a grey, waxy, mud-like coating, while hatched eggs look like brownish, seed-like deposits in four to seven columns about an inch long. Egg masses measure about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide.

If you see a spotted lanternfly or damage caused by them, report it to Ohio Department of Agriculture by filling out the Ohio Plant Pest Reporter online at agri.ohio.gov/divisions/plant-health/invasive-pests/ invasive-insects/slf. A clear photo is required for submissions.

Other areas impacted. The spotted lanternfly is found in 51 counties in Pennsylvania, all of which are under a state-imposed quarantine. Lawrence, Butler, Fayette, Somerset, Clearfield and Clinton were added to the quarantine list this year. Spotted lanternfly has also been found in West Virginia, Indiana, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware and Connecticut.

set 49 years ago.

Southern Europe has also experienced record temperatures this summer. In mid-July, daily temperatures “topped 104 degrees (40 Celsius) in parts of Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Bosnia. Sicily saw temperatures as high as 115 degrees,” reported the Washington Post July 18.

The heat wave was given the alltoo-perfect name “Cerberus” that, in Greek mythology, is the “multiheaded dog that guards the gates to the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving” their blistering hot eternity. In short, Cerberus is the hound from hell.

Greek myths aside, there’s nothing mythical about Europe’s recent history of heat. A month ago, the journal Nature Medicine, estimated that 62,000 people around Europe died from “heat-related illnesses” in 2022. This year, the estimated death toll is pegged at 68,000 and,

His sleep was haunted by nightmares, at times causing his wife harm before awakening. He had no patience for the typical complaints of a very young daughter, knowing as he scolded her for small things she was blameless. His standards were from an entirely different world, beyond the grasp of most mortals of any age.

Life unfolds for each of us in incredibly varied ways. When I find myself impatient with others, I recall having spent days with Lt. Col. Kari, who was often agitated by seemingly tiny infractions. Though impossible, when I at least attempted to view the world through the lens he did, I could find acceptance and understanding. It proved powerful.

My life was changed by getting to know this man and writing his life story. I carry this life lesson with me, and always will.

if that two-year streak becomes a trend, 94,000 people a year could die by 2040 across Europe. China. And it’s not the only part of the world baking in unprecedented heat. One of history’s oldest cultures, China, was slammed with record heat already in May. That month, 446 weather stations around “the nation registered temperatures that were the same as, or greater than, the highest ever recorded for the month of May,” reported The Guardian June 2.

As if to prove the point, the Shanghai Meteorology Bureau reported “that the city had recorded a temperature of 36.1 degrees Celsius,” or nearly 97 degrees Fahrenheit, for the month. There was another record.

All of this arrives on the heels of last year’s major drought, the worst in 60 years, that clipped 6.1 million hectares (15 million acres) of Chinese farmland with “economic losses reaching billions of yuan.”

In early June, China reported that

at least 3 million hectares, or about 7.5 million acres, had already been hit by drought in 2023.

Time for change. As overwhelming as this short, incomplete weather review is — I left out the record flooding that recently clobbered the northeast U.S., Japan and India — it’s only the nose of the really big, growling dog, climate change, dominating today’s global weather and tomorrow’s global agriculture.

The trouble, of course, is that we appear to be perfectly happy to fund and operate a food production system more suited for 1923 or 1973 than one for 2023 or 2053. When exactly are the world’s leading food growers and sellers going to adopt more weatherproof agriculture?

We need to hurry because the dog days of summer are a lingering, steamy reality, not a myth.

Farmers have mixed emotions from market

bean futures were down 38 1/2 cents and December corn futures were off almost five cents. Blame the rain, but be glad for it. The Chicago December wheat futures are up almost 12 cents, so I hope you have some in the bin.

Marlin Clark

Some days it is hard to remember what is good and what is bad when you look out the window. If you are a farmer, you have to be happy that you have gotten significant rain the last two weeks after a spring and early summer that left the ground parched. There was a time when farmers in some areas wondered just how bad a crop they were raising.

Then it rained, and I hope you can be glad looking at the crops. I know it’s not fun looking at market reports. I write this in the middle of Aug. 7, when I just got a posting on my phone that said November soy-

According to scripture, the farmer must plant in hope. I know how it feels to do a preplant budget that says you will lose money, and then plant anyway and hope things change. I have said it before; however, it is better to grow a good crop in a cheap year than a poor crop in a high-priced year. It is just hard to take the fact that the rest of the world gains when you are selling too cheaply.

Corn. Corn feels cheap right now. We were down 33 cents last week, and in one day, were are now down 38 cents more. This is as much fun as a drunk has staggering out of the bar at 2 a.m. It felt good for a little bit, then it was uncomfortable, and now he is wondering if he can sneak into the house without waking the wife.

I feel that way about the grain market. It felt good for a while when we were making good planting progress without the rain, then it was uncomfortable wondering if we would get rain, and now we are just wondering if we can sell some cash grain off the combine without waking the

banker into realizing that we need to pay the operating loan back.

A corn price that starts with a “4” is not going to go nearly far enough. We are trading at $4.96 December futures right now, so maybe we can squint a little and think it is almost $5.

Soybeans. November soybeans have been very volatile, and looking back to our high July 24 shows us just how volatile. That day, we put in the recent high, at $14.35. We are now trading $12.98, $1.37 lower.

The soybean market can always find things to talk about, be it exports, or the Ukraine mess, which has little directly to do with soybeans, but news there tends to bleed over from the other markets. The truth is that the market is focused on the weather, with the idea that beans were not looking great after growing in the dry for so long but that the critical time was August.

Well, we are now in August, and the weather is great. We have had long spells of high temperatures that were not too high, and most areas have recharged the water needs.

This morning, I listened to reporters all over the Midwest on our weekly conference call. Everyone had rain to talk about, from two inches in South Dakota to over five inches

Grain bids

in parts of Iowa. Part of northwest Iowa had 12 inches! I assume they think that was something to complain about, but most farmers that had several inches said the ground soaked it up. Imagine a dry sponge that’s about four feet thick.

Wheat. So, now we have farmers saying they are looking good for August, and the market is reflecting the optimism that has returned to the crop by taking it out on the prices. The exception is the wheat, where the winter crop is mostly harvested, and the spring crop harvest is started.

I am told that the spring wheat is not as good as the crop last year, but maybe a little better than normal.

Add that to the huge cookie wheat crop in the East, and you have only the Ukraine war to give us a reason to have prices higher for wheat at least for today. We actually lost $1.42 off the $7.96 1/4 that we traded July 25, before the war news took us higher. We are now trading December Chicago wheat futures at $6.86, now up almost 26 cents for the day.

And, there is news from the war. Over the weekend, Ukraine attacked Russian Black Sea ports, probably as an escalation for keeping them from exporting grain out of the Black Sea. They also used a drone to attack a

Russian oil tanker that was taking oil to meet Russian needs in Syria. It’s no wonder why 40 nations got together last week to talk about how the war needed to end. Mostly, they want it to end before a new policy here might require Europeans to pay for this European war themselves.

It remains to be seen how much this market can recover. We are a long way from seeing new yield estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We have to assume a good crop at this point, but it does still remain to be seen if we have as many acres of corn as USDA said after they raised their guess by three million.

The corn and wheat are down hard on improved weather. The market probably has overreacted, and prices will rebound just as we stop trading the new round of emotions.

The size of the rebound is the question. I have to assume we have missed the best prices, but that news will be a relief to those concentrating on filling bins at harvest. There were 240-bpa farmers looking at 100 bpa just a few days ago. Thank God for small green apples.

Pa. 4-H will offer ‘Vets and Pets,’ Aug. 15

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Extension invites youth in Pennsylvania to participate in a free, virtual activity focused on veterinary care for companion animals.

The activity is part of Pennsylvania 4-H’s free trial period, during which youth throughout the summer can experience a sampling of 4-H projects through a series of online activities designed to be fun and interactive.

The “Vets and Pets” session for children ages 5-7 — known as Cloverbuds in 4-H — will take place Aug. 15 from 10 to 11 a.m. An event for older children will take place Aug. 17 from 10 to 11 a.m.

Participants will learn how to prepare pets for cooperative veterinary visits and become familiar with typical procedures and expectations at the vet’s office. Activities will include the following:

• Preparing dogs and cats for veterinary exams by helping pets become comfortable with restraint.

• Practicing veterinary tasks such as teeth examination and ear inspection.

• Mastering the towel wrap technique used by veterinarians to ensure a cat’s safety and comfort during care.

• Learning how to measure a pet’s pulse and respiration rates.

• Training a dog to be a model patient during vet visits.

Participants will need a towel and a toy stuffed animal, such as a cat, dog or something with a similar shape. Optional supplies included a stethoscope — either real or a toy — and a friendly, cooperative pet that is comfortable with activities such as holding its paw, placing an arm around its neck, and so on.

If attendees plan to participate with a pet, an adult must be present on camera while working with the animal.

Participants must register by Aug. 14 for the Cloverbuds session and by Aug. 16 for the general session.

More information about the Cloverbuds session is available on the Penn State Extension website at extension.psu.edu/ programs/4-h/ events/vets-and- pets-for-cloverbuds.

Consider corn dried distillers’ grains to reduce feed expenses

on a dry matter basis) in corn-dried distillers’ grains has been recognized. The fat of corn-dried distillers’ grains includes high polyunsaturated fatty acids, which has been known to depress milk fat synthesis in the mammary glands.

Chanhee Lee

Answers from Dairy Excel

Lowering feed costs without altering production can increase dairy producers’ profitability. Nutritionists or dairy producers may be looking for alternative feed sources to reduce feed expenses.

Corn-dried distillers’ grains with solubles are widely available in the U.S. as a feed ingredient for livestock animals. Because corn-dried distillers’ grains contains high protein (30 to 40% crude protein of dry matter), it can be a good protein feed as a substitution for soybean meal.

Cheaper. Although the prices of corn-dried distillers’ grains and soybean meal change, usually corn-dried distillers’ grains is much cheaper than soybean meal. Currently, corndried distillers’ grains was $240/ton while soybean meal was listed at $443/ton (May, 2023; USDA).

For significant decreases in feed costs and increases in the income over feed cost, 20% or more in a ration on a dry matter basis by replacing mainly soybean meal is necessary if production doesn’t change.

However, according to research, negative production responses are somewhat consistent when diets containing 20% corn-dried distillers’ grains or more (dry matter basis) were fed.

Negative response. Among the negative production responses, milk fat depression is the one often significantly impaired by corn-dried distillers’ grains. Therefore, the inclusion of corn-dried distillers’ grains at 20% or more (dry matter basis) in a ration has not been recommended for lactating cows.

As a factor of corn-dried distillers’ grains causing milk fat depression, high-fat content (about 10%

The polyunsaturated fatty acids from corn-dried distillers’ grains may not be the only factor causing milk fat depression. In our previous study, low-fat corn-dried distillers’ grains (about 6% fat on a dry matter basis) was used in a ration (30% on a dry matter basis) and we still observed milk fat depression.

From that experiment, however, we found that the diet with low-fat corn-dried distillers’ grains contained sulfur (0.4%) twice as high as the soybean meal diet (0.2% on a dry matter basis).

Sulfur concentration in corndried distillers’ grains is relatively high compared to soybean meal; therefore, replacing soybean meal with corn-dried distillers’ grains in a diet increases dietary sulfur concentration. Excess sulfur decreases dietary cation-anion difference; therefore, adding corn-dried distillers’ grains to a diet decreases dietary cation-anion difference.

Typically, dietary cation-anion difference is about 200 mEq/kg dry matter for a lactating diet if the diet is formulated to meet all minerals. However, a diet containing 20 to 30% of corn-dried distillers’ grains (dry matter basis) reduces dietary cation-anion difference below 100 mEq/kg dry matter.

Because milk and fat yields and nutrient digestibility are positively correlated with dietary cation-anion difference, high sulfur in corn-dried distillers’ grains could be another factor causing milk fat depression in lactating cows.

If it is true that sulfur is another factor causing milk fat depression, eliminating this factor should alleviate the negative response to feeding a high corn-dried distillers’ grains diet.

Experimenting. In our first experiment, we examined a diet with 20% high protein corn-dried distillers’ grains with and without increasing dietary cation-anion difference with a soybean meal-based control diet. The inclusion of corn-dried distillers’ grains decreased dietary cationanion difference from about 200 to

60 mEq/kg dry matter.

We added cation supplements (sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate) to increase the dietary cation-anion difference of the corndried distillers’ grains diet up to 200 mEq/kg dry.

We found that the corn-dried distillers’ grains diet decreased milk yield (88 v. 92 pounds) and milk fat yield (2.73 v. 3.41 pounds) compared with the soybean meal diet. However, the corn-dried distillers’ grains diet with increased dietary cationanion difference eliminated the difference statistically (milk yield, 89 v. 92 pounds; milk fat yield, 3.15 v. 3.41 pounds).

Therefore, we concluded that a high corn-dried distillers’ grains diet with increased dietary cation-anion difference can alleviate negative production. However, milk yield and milk fat yield for cows on the high corn-dried distillers’ grains diet were still numerically lower when compared with the soybean meal diet.

Another try. In our second experiment, we examined a diet with 30% corn-dried distillers’ grains with increased dietary cation-anion difference up to 300 mEq/kg dry matter compared with a soybean meal diet (180 mEq/kg dietary cation-anion difference). In this experiment, the corn-dried distillers’ grains diet did not affect milk yield but decreased milk fat yield (2.73 v. 3.15 pounds) compared with the soybean meal diet.

However, the corn-dried distillers’ grains diet with increased dietary cation-anion difference completely eliminated the difference in milk fat yield (3.23 v. 3.15 pounds). According to the current feed and milk prices, the corn-dried distillers’ grains diet largely increased the income over feed cost ($11.36 v. 9.65/cwt) compared with the soybean meal diet.

Therefore, although more studies are needed to confirm our results, increasing the dietary cation-anion difference of a diet containing high corn-dried distillers’ grains (> 20%) up to 300 mEq/kg dry matter is a potential strategy to reduce the feed cost and increase the income over feed cost.

EPA posts 10 years of pesticide incident data on website

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took a major step to increase transparency by posting 10 years of pesticide incident data on its website. Sharing this information advances EPA’s commitment to environmental justice and aligns with EPA’s Equity Action Plan by expanding the availability of data and capacity so the public and community organizations can better understand pesticide exposures, including exposures to vulnerable populations.

EPA considers a pesticide incident as any exposure or effect from a pesticide’s use that is not expected or intended. Pesticide incidents may involve people, domestic animals (e.g., pets or livestock), wildlife, or the environment (e.g., air, soil, water, plants). Reporting a pesticide incident provides EPA with additional

information on the effects and consequences of exposures to pesticides affecting people and the environment.

The data sets, which pull information from EPA’s Incident Data System, allow users to access raw data on pesticide exposure incidents such as the incident date, the reason for the report and the severity of the incident. It may also provide information on the location of the incident, the pesticide product and a description of the incident. EPA has not verified the raw data for accuracy or completeness, so users should be aware of this limitation before drawing any conclusions from the data.

The online database is available at: ordspub.epa.gov/ords/pesticides/ f?p=359:1

Using minerals to supplement forages for grazing livestock

Ted Wiseman

All About Grazing

Grazing livestock requires minerals to promote growth, milk production and several metabolic functions. How do we know that our mineral program is adequate to meet the needs of our grazing livestock?

In previous articles, we have stressed the importance of analyzing hay samples for winter feeding. But how many of us have sampled our pastures for nutrient content?

We know that magnesium in early spring is important to prevent grass tetany, but what about the rest of the year?

Minerals are separated into two categories. Minerals that are needed in higher amounts are called major or macro minerals. These are listed on feed tags as a percentage and include calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulfur. Minerals needed in lesser amounts are called minor or micro minerals which are copper, chromium, cobalt, iodine, iron, manganese, nickel, molybdenum, selenium and zinc. These minerals are often listed in parts per million (ppm).

Regardless of the type of mineral all are equally important for metabolic functions. A deficiency of any mineral can have major effects on animal health and performance regardless of the amount needed. The mineral requirement is dependent upon species, age, growth rate, stage of pregnancy and stage of lactation. Copper for example is recommended at much higher levels for cattle, horses and goats, but these levels would be toxic for sheep. Therefore, grazing sheep with another species, one must be cautious of what mineral mix is used.

There have been several studies conducted looking at pasture forages and their mineral content. Often the mineral levels are a reflection of soil fertility, but forage species will also be a contributing factor. In many of the studies, calcium levels were ad-

provided incident information to the public when responding to requests under the Freedom of Information Act or as an incident summary as part of EPA’s pesticide registration review process. EPA has made these data accessible to expand the public’s access and understanding of pesticide incidents and pesticiderelated illness. Releasing these data is responsive to many long-standing requests to share incident data with farmworker organizations and public health officials.

EPA has made the last 10 years of incident data accessible because incident data older than 10 years may not reflect pesticide product labels currently on the market due to label changes that may occur during registration review. EPA plans to update the data monthly going forward.

equate, whereas very few fields had sufficient phosphorus to meet the animals’ requirements. Many of the other trace minerals were shown to be marginally deficient. In general, most minerals found in forages are considered to be only 50% available to the animal. Forages with high levels of iron, molybdenum and sulfur can have a strong antagonistic effect on copper absorption. Iron levels above 400 ppm and Molybdenum levels above 3 ppm are considered high enough to interfere with copper. Sulfur levels of more 0.25% of the daily dry matter intake from feed or water can reduce copper availability.

Mineral supplements are available in many different forms. Inorganic trace minerals can be an oxide, sulfate, chloride or a hydroxy form. Organic can be complexes, chelates, proteinates, polysaccharides or propionates. The bioavailability of each of these minerals is very different. The organic forms are absorbed most readily, followed by the hydroxy, carbonate, sulphate and finally the oxides. The only exception to this is magnesium oxide, which is bioavailable as an oxide. Typically, mineral mixes that are highly bioavailable are more expensive.

Vitamins in a mineral mix, especially an inorganic form, will lose their potency over time. Most recommendations are not to buy or mix more than what will be used within approximately 90 days. You may want to check with your supplier or manufacturer before purchasing.

Take the time to read the mineral product label. Look for intended species, mineral levels, feeding method, targeted intake and source of each mineral.

Taking the time to test your forages and matching them with a proper mineral mix can ensure good animal health and reproductive efficiency.

The best plans never rely on the weather

many an outdoor event due to high winds, and we’ve certainly been chased in by sudden summer storms, but the idea that we might not be able to hold a concert because of a slow, steady evening-long rain in August?

Well, it only occurred to us as a thing to crack jokes about, as in, “At least we don’t have to worry about rain, hahahahahahaha …”

Yes, August may bring an abundance of grasshoppers, flies or on a bad year garden-crushing hail, but never, ever the kind of rain shower that would require cancellation of an outdoor event.

We were planning to film the concert, and that meant we really needed good sound — even a tiny bit of wind can wreck a live recording. After the unusually temperate summer, it seemed we were overdue for the kind of extremes that usually characterize our weather patterns here.

At the last minute, we decided to move the concert from a relatively open area to our yard, where we’d have more staging options if we needed them.

Unexpected. And then sometime last week our cellphones started warning us of flash floods.

nothing but more blue for miles in every direction. Flash floods were the last crisis I could possibly imagine.

“It’s for tomorrow,” he said. “It’s supposed to start raining and not stop for a couple days.” Well. So much for ‘it never, ever rains in August in Western South Dakota.’

“Don’t worry,” my husband said, I’m sure noticing the fear that had sprung into my eyes. “It will stop way before the show.”

ensure the show can go on regardless of changes in the forecast, but what about the audience? Navigating the sloppy, mud-fest of our yard after another day of ceaseless rain will be interesting. While the manure rivers that flow from the barnyard after an epic rain event are great for the grass, they might be less great for folks who don’t think to wear tall mud boots to a concert.

When The Kithship Collective, an arts organization I help run, started planning for a pasture concert on the ranch in early August, the last thing on our mind was coming up with an alternate location in case of rain.

The end of July brought a few days with temperatures in the triple digits, which is exactly what one would expect for our part of the prairie. Most of July had been unusually cool; however, and it’s been a surprisingly un-windy summer as well, so I was starting to get nervous. Surely, we couldn’t expect things to remain calm and pleasant.

“Flash floods?” I said to my husband, looking down at my phone, then staring up at the white, blazing sun. I’d just gotten done painting a wall in the outbuilding we’d decided to use as the makeshift stage for the concert, and my paint-splattered shirt was soaked with sweat. Above our heads, there wasn’t a single cloud in the bright blue sky, and there was

Fingers crossed. Tomorrow is the concert. By the time this goes to print, the show will be over, and it will hopefully have gone well. As I type this, a hard, steady rain is beating against the window over my desk. The forecast has remained steadfast in its conviction that the rains will indeed cease in plenty of time for us to set up the stage and equipment, and there isn’t predicted to be a breath of wind. Is it possible we will actually get that lucky?

Thankfully, the outbuilding will

Meanwhile, all this rain means the prairie will probably stay green until snow flies, and no one will be sad about that. I am, however, once again considering how hilarious it is that we humans ever attempt to make any plans at all.

Precision tech allows early diagnosis of calf pneumonia

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. —

Monitoring dairy calves with precision technologies based on the “internet of things,” or IoT, leads to the earlier diagnosis of calf-killing bovine respiratory disease, according to a new study.

The novel approach — a result of crosscutting collaboration by a team of researchers from Penn State, the University of Kentucky and the University of Vermont — will offer dairy producers an opportunity to improve the economies of their farms, according to researchers.

Not the norm. This is not your grandfather’s dairy farming strategy, notes lead researcher Melissa Cantor, assistant professor of precision dairy science at Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

Cantor noted that new technology is becoming increasingly affordable, offering farmers opportunities to detect animal health problems soon enough to intervene, saving the calves and the investment they represent.

Data collectors. IoT refers to embedded devices equipped with sensors, processing and communication abilities, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices over the internet.

In this study, Cantor explained, IoT technologies such as wearable sensors and automatic feeders were used to closely watch and analyze the condition of calves.

Such IoT devices generate a huge amount of data by closely monitoring the cows’ behavior.

To make such data easier to interpret, and provide clues to calf health problems, the researchers adopted machine learning — a branch of artificial intelligence that learns the hidden patterns in the data to discriminate between sick and healthy calves, given the input from the IoT devices.

“We put leg bands on the calves, which record activity behavior data in dairy cattle, such as the number of steps and lying time,” Cantor said.

“And we used automatic feeders, which dispense milk and grain and record feeding behaviors, such as the number of visits and liters of consumed milk. Information from those sources signaled when a calf’s condition was on the verge of deteriorating,” she continued.

Bovine respiratory disease is an infection of the respiratory tract that is the leading reason for an-

timicrobial use in dairy calves and represents 22% of calf mortalities. The costs and effects of the ailment can severely damage a farm’s economy since raising dairy calves is one of the largest economic investments.

Study results. In the study, data was collected from 159 dairy calves using precision livestock technologies and by researchers who performed daily physical health exams on the calves at the University of Kentucky.

Researchers recorded both automatic data-collection results and manual data-collection results and compared the two.

In findings recently published in IEEE Access, a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the researchers reported that the proposed approach is able to identify calves that developed bovine respiratory disease sooner.

Numerically, the system achieved an accuracy of 88% for labeling sick and healthy calves. Seventy percent of sick calves were predicted four days prior to diagnosis, and 80% of calves that developed a chronic case of the disease were detected within the first five days of sickness.

“We were really surprised to find out that the relationship with the behavioral changes in those animals was very different than animals that got better with one treatment,” she said. “And nobody had ever looked at that before. We came up with the concept that if these animals actually behave differently, then there’s probably a chance that IoT technologies empowered with machine learning inference techniques could actually identify them sooner before anybody can with the naked eye. That offers producers options.”

Central State University receives over $1.6 million in research, education funds

WILBERFORCE, Ohio - Central State University has received over $1.6 million in research and education funding from the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The three innovative projects that have received funding will focus on unmanned aerial systems (UAS), nutrition education and weight management, and the use of a perennial flower species to improve honey production.

One proposal, “Building Education and Research Capacity of Unmanned Aerial Systems at Central State University,” received $598,814 in USDA NIFA funding. It will strengthen Central State’s unmanned aerial systems educational capacity by developing new courses and providing practical teaching materials.

Xiaofang Wei, Ph.D., leads the Central State research team, supported by Ramanitharan Kandiah, Ph.D., and Deng Cao, Ph.D. The project will take three years and plans to involve a total of 30 students for three academic years.

“This effort expands undergraduate student participation in UAS research through internships and fellowships opportunities. It enables faculty to participate in UAS research and add to the knowledge of thermal remote sensing, especially UAS thermal sensing for surface temperature, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture research,” Wei said.

A total of $600,000 in USDA NIFA funds will support the Central State-led initiative, “Nutrition education and outreach program to address and prevent obesity in minority communities: Application of nutrigenomics.” Researchers will utilize cutting-edge technology to understand the interaction between nutrition and genes, ultimately aiming to reduce obesity in the targeted populations.

The Central State research team consists of Pratibha Gupta, Ph.D., research associate professor of food nutrition and health, and project grant director; and Mortenous Johnson, director, TRIO Student Support Services. The research will be sup-

ported by individuals from Lincoln University, Kentucky State University, the University of Toledo, and Ace Integrative Health in Mason, Ohio. Two Central State students will be involved as research assistants and data analysts. The project will take three years and include 300 participants.

“Our service is tailored to provide personalized nutrition plans and lifestyle recommendations based on one’s unique genetic profile. We believe that this groundbreaking approach will revolutionize weight management for those facing challenges in this area,” Gupta said.

The agricultural project, “Perennial flower species to improve crop and honey production in sustainable agricultural systems for Ohio,” received $497,884 from the USDA NIFA. It will investigate the use of silflower, a perennial prairie plant, to increase the honey production of honeybees in Ohio.

Central State’s Marcus Nagle, Ph.D., research assistant professor of soil science, and Hongmei LiByarlay, Ph.D., research assistant professor of entomology, will collaborate with Ebony Murrell, Ph.D., of The Land Institute (TLI). Central State students will fill two assistant positions to support the research, which will take place from 2023 to 2026.

“CSU and TLI will combine crop, honeybee, social, and economic data gathered through the project, which will be used to inform Midwestern farmers and beekeepers on the benefits of perennial crops for improving yields and profits, while increasing the sustainability of both industries,” Nagle said.

“These projects are a demonstration of Central State University faculty’s pursuit of academic excellence. These Extension educational and research grants will greatly benefit the public as CSU seeks solutions to address societal issues,” said Morakinyo Kuti, Ph.D., interim dean of the John W. Garland College of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Agriculture, director of the 1890 Land-Grant Programs, and associate provost for research.

“We tried other products, and we found out: Udder Comfort™ is the one that really works. It’s the best for fresh cows, and for any type of swelling, any cow with elevated SCC or a hard quarter, mastitis, even an injured quarter,” says Brad Palmer of Pigeon Cove Farms, Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania.

“We got back on the Udder Comfort last year for its effectiveness and ease of use. Spraying fresh udders with Udder Comfort after each milking for 5 days after calving really helps our milk quality,” he adds.

Three generations are involved in the operation: Brad and Linette and their son Logan and daughter Hailey and Brad’s parents Lonnie and Debra. They milk 440 Holstein and Jersey cows, averaging 94 pounds with SCC 140,000.

“We like using Udder Comfort in the parlor. It delivers better coverage and better results,” adds Hailey. She does herd health and breeding while Logan is mostly involved in crops and feeding. Hailey also shows Ayrshires, a breed she loves that her mom grew up with.

Pa. Agriculture Secretary visits Fayette County farm

BROWNSVILLE, Pa. — Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich visited the market at Duda’s Farm in Brownsville, Fayette County, a participating partner in Pennsylvania’s Farmers Market Nutrition Program

Aug. 4.

The program provides Pennsylvania’s low-income seniors and families with vouchers to purchase fresh, local fruit and vegetables at farmers markets and farm stands statewide.

“For the many older Pennsylvanians living on fixed incomes, eating healthy shouldn’t be an unaffordable luxury. With the ending of the extra SNAP benefit payments along with the high costs of food and other necessities, these farmers market vouchers help support older Pennsylvanians by providing them with access to fresh foods, and highlight the important link between local farmers and the communities they feed with the fruits of their labor,” said Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich.

“I encourage older adults to contact their local Area Agency on Aging to learn their eligibility for the vouchers or for any other assistance they may need to obtain them.”

From June through September each year, the WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs provide low-income seniors and eligible participants in the WIC program with vouchers they can redeem through the end of November for Pennsylvania-grown fruit, veg-

etables and fresh-cut herbs from approved farm markets and farm stands across the state.

Vouchers are distributed to participants through WIC clinics and for seniors through Area Agencies on Aging and county aging services partners.

The value of vouchers redeemed through the FMNP program and dollars directly supporting Pennsylvania farmers who participate in the program is more than $3.5 million annually, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

Earlier this year, the Shapiro administration announced a performance-based increase in funding for the Farmers Market Nutrition Programs, allowing the department to increase the total dollar amount from $24 to $50 for vouchers offered to eligible seniors and from $24 to $30 for eligible women and children.

Those seeking to redeem vouchers or support farms that accept them can search for participating farm markets on the free PA FMNP Market Locator App.

Pennsylvania farmers interested in participating in the Farmers Market Nutrition Program and being part of the solution to food insecurity in the community are encouraged to apply.

Currently, there are more than 1,000 approved farmers across the state.

Coal miners hail rule to slow rise of black lung

By Leah Willingham and Matthew Daly Associated Press

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A half-century ago, the nation’s top health experts urged the federal agency in charge of mine safety to adopt strict rules protecting miners from poisonous rock dust.

The inaction since — fueled by denials and lobbying from coal and other industries — has contributed to the premature deaths of thousands of miners from pneumoconiosis, more commonly known as “black lung.” The problem has only grown in recent years as miners dig through more layers of rock to get to less accessible coal, generating deadly silica dust in the process.

One former regulator called the lack of protection from silica-related illnesses “stunning” and one of the most “catastrophic” occupational health failures in U.S. history.

Proposal. Now the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration has proposed a rule that would cut the current limit for silica exposure in half — a major victory for safety advocates. But there is skepticism and concern about the government following through after years of broken promises and delays.

James Bounds, a retired coal miner from Oak Hill, West Virginia, said nothing can be done to reverse the debilitating illness he was diagnosed with at 37 in 1984. But he doesn’t want others to suffer the same fate.

“It’s not going to help me — I’m through mining,” said Bounds, 75, who now uses supplemental oxygen to breathe. “But we don’t want these young kids breathing like we do.”

The rule, published in the Federal

Lucrative starting wages & desirable benefits

Register this month, cuts the permissible exposure limit for silica dust from 100 to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air for an 8-hour shift in coal, metal and nonmetal mines such as sand and gravel.

The proposal is in line with exposure levels imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on construction and other non-mining industries. And it’s the standard The Centers for Disease Control was recommending as far back as 1974.

Silicosis. Silicosis is an occupational pneumoconiosis caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica dust present in minerals like sandstone.

The U.S. Department of Labor began studying silica and its impact on workers’ health in the 1930s, but the focus on stopping exposure in the workplace largely bypassed coal miners.

Instead, regulations centered on coal dust, a separate hazard created by crushing or pulverizing coal rock that also contributes to black lung.

In the decades since, silica dust has become a major problem as Appalachian miners cut through layers of sandstone to reach less accessible coal seams in mountaintop mines where coal closer to the surface has long been tapped. Silica dust is 20 times more toxic than coal dust and causes severe forms of black lung disease even after a few years of exposure.

An estimated one in five tenured miners in Central Appalachia has black lung disease; one in 20 has the most disabling form of black lung.

Miners are also being diagnosed at younger ages — some in their 30s

(Continued On Page A17)

Coal miners hail proposed rule to slow rise of black lung

(Continued From Page A16)

and others with the advanced kind in their 40s. “That’s just nuts,” said Dr. Carl Werntz, a West Virginia physician who conducts black lung examinations and described cases as “skyrocketing.”

United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts said there’s no reason a 35-year-old miner should be diagnosed with a disease “that’s going to cost him his life.”

“Nobody should be dying because of a job they have,” Roberts said.

Outdated. MSHA’s existing silica standards were developed in the 1970s, around the time of the U.S. Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.

West Virginia University law professor Pat McGinley, who was part of a state team investigating the 2010 Upper Big Branch mining disaster that killed 29 miners, called the resurgence of black lung “unparalleled” when it comes to occupational health failures.

In the Upper Big Branch mine, 71% of the 24 miners who received autopsies were found to have black lung.

“I can’t think of any occupation where there has been such devastation that’s been ignored” by corporations and the government, he said. “It’s stunning.”

The new rule is supported by Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Bob Casey and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Mark Warner and Tim Kaine of Virginia, who pushed for the change and released a joint statement saying protecting miners from “dangerous levels of silica cannot wait.”

MSHA will be collecting comments on the proposal through Aug. 28, with three hearings scheduled in Arlington, Virginia, Beckley, West Virginia, and Denver.

Protection equipment. One issue expected to come up: the use of respiratory protection equipment. The National Mining Association, which represents mine operators, wants workers to be permitted to use respirators as a method of compliance with the rule.

“These are recognized industrial hygiene practices utilized by” federal regulators in other industries, “but not in mining,” spokesman Conor Bernstein said, adding that better ventilation controls, safety awareness and regulations on coal dust have all contributed to “exponentially lower dust levels” inside U.S. mines in recent years.

The mine workers’ union and others, however, say respirators are ineffective while performing heavy labor in hot, confined spaces common in mines.

The proposed rule allows for the use of respirators on a temporary basis while operators are implementing engineering controls.

But advocates say inspectors aren’t present often enough to

ensure they don’t become a permanent solution.

“The history of miner safety and health enforcement teaches us that exceptions become the rule,” said Sam Petsonk, a West Virginia attorney who represented miners who were diagnosed with black lung after operators knowingly violated regulations.

Self-reporting. The proposed rule also includes a provision that allows companies to self-report silica levels. Federal inspectors conduct spot checks to ensure accuracy, but mine operators still have leeway to manipulate reporting data, said Willie Dodson, Central Appalachian field coordinator for Appalachian Voices, an advocacy group.

“Ideally, MSHA inspectors would take samples day after day after day in a given mine to determine compliance,” he said.

A coal dust examiner who worked for a Kentucky mining company was sentenced to six months in prison last month for falsifying dust samples and lying to federal officials.

Want accountability. In rural Nickelsville, Virginia, near the

Tennessee border, Vonda Robinson says miners and their families are owed more accountability from the federal government and mine operators. Her husband John was diagnosed with black lung about a decade ago at age 47.

Now, his doctors say he will need a lung transplant.

Vonda Robinson said her husband doesn’t know what to say when his 5-year-old granddaughter asks why he can’t run and play with her, why even walking down the end of the driveway leaves him physically spent.

“He’ll tell her ‘Honey, papaw can’t do that,’ “ she said.

During his 28 years mining, John Robinson would come home with his face covered with dust. But she tried not to worry. Everyone in the community mined coal.

“He was one of those that wanted to go in the mines to give his family the American dream — the nice house, vehicles, put our kids through college,” she said. “And this is what he got.”

EPA’s plan to cut auto emissions faces skepticism

By Tom Krisher

DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government’s most ambitious plan ever to slash planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles faces skepticism both about how realistic it is and whether it goes far enough.

The Environmental Protection Agency in April announced new strict emissions limits that the agency says are vital to slowing climate change as people around the globe endure record-high temperatures, raging wildfires and intense storms.

The EPA says the industry could meet the limits if 67% of new-vehicle sales are electric by 2032, a pace the auto industry calls unrealistic. However, the new rule would not require automakers to boost electric vehicle sales directly. Instead, it sets emissions limits and allows automakers to choose how to meet them.

Even if the industry boosts EV sales to the level the EPA recommends, any reduction in pollution could prove more modest than the agency expects. The Associated Press has estimated that nearly 80% of vehicles being driven in the U.S. — more than 200 million — would still run on gasoline or diesel fuel.

ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS SAY IT’S NOT ENOUGH

Pointing to surging temperatures and smoke from Canadian wildfires that fouled the air over parts of the U.S. this summer, Dan Becker, director of the safe climate transport campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity, said: “We need to do a hell of a lot more.”

He wants the EPA to slash emissions even further. Carbon dioxide and methane levels in the atmosphere keep rising. Scientists say July will end up being the hottest month on record and likely the warmest human civilization has seen. The Earth is only a few tenths of a degree from the goal set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit, since preindustrial times.

Though a panel of United Nations scientists said in March that there was still time to prevent the worst harm from climate change, the scientists said the world would need to quickly cut nearly two-thirds of carbon emissions by 2035 to avoid weather that is even more extreme.

Peter Slowik, a senior EV researcher with the nonprofit International Council on Clean Transportation, has calculated that to cut emissions enough to reach Paris Agreement goals, the proportion of new electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold would have to reach 67% by 2030. The EPA has projected 60% by then.

“The EPA proposal is a really great start to putting us on a Pariscompatible path,” said Slowik, whose group provides research and analysis to environmental regulators. “But no, it isn’t enough to comply with the Paris accord.”

The council has calculated that carbon dioxide pollution from passenger vehicles would have to drop to 57 grams per mile by 2030 to reach the Paris goals. The EPA’s preferred regulation would cut those emissions to 102 grams per mile by 2030 and to 82 by 2032.

In addition, Slowik cautioned, carbon emissions from new gasoline vehicles would have to drop 3.5% each year from 2027 to 2032. The EPA’s preferred regulation doesn’t set reductions for gas vehicles. But fuel economy standards recently proposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration could.

WHAT DOES THE EPA SAY?

The EPA contends its proposal will significantly reduce pollution. It estimates that passenger-vehicle carbon dioxide emissions would fall 47% by 2055, when the agency expects most gas-powered vehicles to be gone.

As the biggest source of pollu-

tion in the United States, transportation generates roughly 29% of heattrapping greenhouse gas emissions, according to the EPA. Passenger vehicles are by far the worst transportation polluters, spewing 58% of that sector’s greenhouse gas pollution.

The EPA also is proposing big reductions from other sources, including heavy trucks, electric power plants and the oil and gas industry.

Using sales projections from the EPA and industry analysts from 2022 through model year 2032, the AP calculated that Americans will likely buy roughly 60 million EVs. With 284 million passenger vehicles on U.S. roads today, at that pace only about 22% of them would be electric in nine years. Two million are already in use, and vehicles now stay on the road for an average of 12.5 years.

Dave Cooke, a senior vehicles analyst for the Union of Concerned Scientists, said that even with slow vehicle turnover, studies show the EPA’s proposal would be an important step toward a zero-carbon transportation system by 2050. In addition, power plants that fuel EVs, he noted, will be converted to renewable energy such as wind and solar.

“We know that EVs provide a compounding benefit as we dramatically cut (electric power) grid emissions,” Cooke said.

His group is among those push-

ing the EPA for more stringent standards than the agency is pursuing. The EPA will consider such comments before adopting a final regulation in March 2024.

THE AUTO INDUSTRY SAYS THE LIMITS CAN’T BE MET

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a trade group that represents companies such as General Motors, Ford and Toyota that make most new vehicles sold in the United States, argues the EPA standards are “neither reasonable nor achievable in the time frame covered.”

The alliance says the agency is underestimating the cost and difficulty of making EV batteries, including short supplies of critical minerals that also are used in laptops, cellphones and other items. Sizable gaps in the charging network for longdistance travel and for people living in apartments pose another obstacle.

Though automakers continue to downsize engines and produce more efficient transmissions, the alliance says they need to use their limited resources more on producing EVs than on developing more fuel-efficient technology for gas-powered engines.

ARE ELECTRIC VEHICLES REALLY CLEANER?

Studies by the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology show that shifting to electric vehicles delivers a 30% to 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over combustion vehicles, depending on how the electricity is derived.

Jessika Trancik, an MIT professor of energy systems, said electric vehicles are cleaner over their lifetimes, even after taking into account the pollution caused by the mining of metals for batteries. The university has a website that lists auto emis-

sions by vehicle.

Trancik believes that once EV sales accelerate, more people will want them, and the percentages could actually exceed EPA predictions. Sales of EVs, she noted, are growing far faster in many other countries.

“You often see exponential growth,” she said.

Geneticist explains data use for herd mating selections

MANHATTAN, Kan. — At the start of a new sports season, there are always people speculating about the team, and some of the serious fans may use statistics to make their predictions about the individual athletes.

In much the same way, beef cattle producers have data to help in their decision-making about herd matings, said the experts at the Kansas State University Beef Cattle Institute.

One of the data tools for making breeding decisions is Expected Progeny Differences, also known as EPDs, said K-State beef cattle geneticist Megan Rolf, speaking on a recent Cattle Chat podcast.

She gave the example of comparing a weaning weight EPD between two bulls of the same breed.

“If Bull A’s weaning weight EPD is 50 and Bull B’s weaning weight EPD is 70, then we would expect the calves of Bull B to be 20 pounds heavier at weaning, on average, if we bred them to the same cows,” Rolf said.

While EPDs across the breeds are calculated similarly, the baseline of the calculation varies and so she advises that producers only compare EPDs between animals of the same breed.

“Factors that go into that calculation of the statistical model are phenotype information collected by breeders, the pedigree of the animal’s sire and dam, and, in some cases, the animal’s own genomic data,” Rolf said. Genomic data is collected through a hair or tissue sample of the animal on

which the EPD is calculated.

Rolf added that if producers want to compare bulls of different breeds, one way to do so is to look at their rankings within their respective breeds.

“Comparing EPDs against percentile rankings in their breed is one way to broadly evaluate bulls,” Rolf said.

When studying the animal’s EPDs, it is also important to note the accuracy of that data point, Rolf said.

“Accuracy is a risk management tool because it gives producers an idea of how much data is in the EPD calculation and how much that number might change over time,” Rolf said.

For heifer matings, Rolf recommends producers use high-accuracy sires, especially related to calving ease. With cows, since they are less prone to calving difficulty, she said some producers may prefer to take more risks with a lower accuracy sire who is often younger or a natural service sire.

In commercial herds, oftentimes the cows do not have EPDs calculated for them so Rolf said she puts a lot of focus on the sire’s EPDs.

“In commercial operations, you can put a lot of selection pressure on the sire to make changes within the herd, especially if replacement heifers are being retained from those matings,” she said.

Soil microbes are just looking out for themselves

By Lauren Quinn

URBANA, Ill. — There’s a complex world beneath our feet, teeming with diverse and interdependent life. Plants call out with chemical signals in times of stress, summoning microbes that can unlock bound nutrients and find water in soil pores too small for the finest roots. In return, microbes get a safe place to live or a sugary drink.

It’s a classic you-scratch-myback-I’ll- scratch-yours scenario. Except when it’s not. New research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign challenges conventional wisdom to show free-living soil microbes are just looking out for themselves.

In a multi-generation experiment, researchers from the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences found microbes helped plants cope with drought, but not in response to plants’ cries for help. Instead, the environment itself selected for drought-tolerant microbes. And while those hardy microbes were doing their thing, they just happened to make plants more drought-tolerant, too.

“It was a surprise because I expected to see evidence of coevolution and mutualism between the microbes and plants. I think people, myself included, forget that just because microbes do something adaptive or beneficial to the plant, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re doing it for the plant,” said Kevin Ricks, who completed the project as part of his doctoral degree in the Program for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology at Illinois. Ricks is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto.

Soil communities. To learn how microbes help plants deal with drought, Ricks established live soil communities in pots with or without plants. He watered half of the pots well and imposed drought conditions in the other half, then repeated these treatments for three generations. The idea was to allow time for selection to occur — potentially for plants to signal their need for help and select for microbes that came to their aid.

In phase two of the experiment, Ricks mixed everything up. He again grew plants in soil from phase one and kept the same watering treatments, but some plants were now experiencing drought in soils that had been well-watered for generations, and vice versa.

He expected soil microbes from historically dry pots would have adapted to those conditions, helping plants withstand drought more than microbes from historically wet pots. And that is what he found: Plants experiencing drought were bigger when grown with drought-adapted microbes.

But — and this is key — that was

true for soils grown with or without plants in phase one. In other words, microbes adapted to drought over time even without plants selecting for them through chemical signals. Yet they still provided benefits when grown with plants generations later. It was proof these microbes were doing their own thing, only helping plants incidentally.

Unique study. No previous studies on the topic had included a noplant control, leaving the research community to conclude plants and microbes were communicating in a co-evolutionary dialogue.

“Our results challenge classical thinking about what counts as a mutual benefit. Mycorrhizae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are kind of model systems, things that people study when they talk about mutualism. But then there’s this fuzzier set of interactions that we don’t understand yet, but could still wind up having a mutual benefit, or at least a one-way benefit to the plant. I think our approach brings this system into the spotlight,” said co-author Tony Yannarell, associate professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, part of the College of ACES at Illinois.

The researchers also sterilized some phase-one soils before imposing treatments in phase two. In those pots, plants in historically dry soils were no better off when experiencing drought.

“Some previous studies didn’t actually compare soil with and without microbes, so it’s hard to really implicate the microbes as the driver of the benefit,” Yannarell said. “There are a lot of things that could have been different in the soil, but when we sterilized the microbes away in our experiment, we lost the benefit of the drought adaptation.”

The researchers didn’t identify the microbes in their experiment, so they can’t be sure exactly how they were benefiting plants. But Ricks said soil microbes are involved in many processes that could help plants withstand stress.

“Microbes are responsible for nutrient and carbon cycling, so whether or not they’re actually facilitating plant access to water, they could still be freeing up nutrients that make the plant healthier and more resilient to stress,” he said.

Ricks hesitated to claim his study will shift paradigms in ecological research, especially considering it was a greenhouse experiment focused on free-living soil microbes and a single type of environmental stress. But he hopes it will encourage other scientists to consider no-microbe and noplant controls in future studies. They might just reveal what’s really going on beneath our feet.

EPA directs grants to Pa. for conservation

PHILADELPHIA — During a visit to a Lancaster County dairy farm, EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz and U.S. Senator Bob Casey joined Pennsylvania environmental leaders, Chesapeake Bay partners and local farmers to announce $14.3 million in grants directed to Pennsylvania through EPA’s Chesapeake Bay Program.

Using funding provided by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Most Effective Basins program will receive $23 million this year, a $15 million increase from its $8 million annual allocation.

In a concerted effort to deliver these dollars to areas that will have the greatest impact on downstream water quality, 60% of this year’s funding will go directly to Pennsylvania to connect farmers with the financial resources they need to implement conservation practices that benefit farms, local streams and the Chesapeake Bay.

The Most Effective Basins grant program provides funds to states in river basins throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed with excess nitrogen loads. The funds are used to install best practices such as forest buffers, manure storage and fencing

to reduce agricultural runoff from entering nearby streams. During the event, officials also highlighted new means to deliver funds to grantees more efficiently. EPA is working with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to direct at least $3 million of the Most Effective Basins program funding to a block grant that will deliver conservation funding to farmers more quickly. An additional $4 million will go to the state Department of Agriculture and State Conservation Commission to support the work of the Conservation Districts.

The blessings of inconvenience

lived several blocks away. Her story seemed plausible, though one never knows for certain. But the fact that they were obviously not commercial and were among several similarly wrapped brownies lowered my doubts. Assuming that the goods were safe and the cause legitimate, someone had experienced a little inconvenience to make someone else’s life a little brighter.

Rev. Eldon Trubee

Like as a Fire

Luke 5:17-25.

And it came to pass on a certain day, as [Jesus] was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, “Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.” And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, “What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, ‘Thy sins be forgiven thee;’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’ But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,)’ I say unto thee, Arise and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.” And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

HELPING OTHERS

A junior high-aged girl stopped by selling homemade brownies to raise some money for a seriously ill neighbor. We did not know her. She

The inconvenience of bringing the palsied man through someone else’s roof comes to mind. It is the story of doing something unrequired for someone motivated out of concern by others.

A house of Jesus’ time and place was constructed with stone and brick. Its roof consisted of layers of palm branches covered with clay or clay tiles laid across rafters sufficient to shed the infrequent rains. Roof repairs and replacements were not too difficult; however, they still caused some inconvenience.

Jesus drew quite a crowd of followers and officials to this house. Some men brought their disabled friends to be healed. The hole they created in the house roof was not difficult to create, and we may assume that the homeowner had help patching the damage. We still should be impressed by the collective efforts of those who sought healing for this man. They had to take time from their busy lives to help someone.

One takes some risks when helping another person. You don’t always know what you are getting into. Many years ago, I offered to help a friend bury his beloved great dane. The topsoil was shallow and the dog was huge. It turned into a day-long project. The local priest, Father Hummer, and I made a few late-night trips to neighboring cities seeking lodging for transients when none was available locally.

The threat of bodily harm is often present when helping strangers. It’s wise to be wary, but often the innocent suffer when no one helps.

Blessings can come from the inconvenience of helping another person. Sometimes we gain new insights from learning new things from those

Gettysburg series part 8:

whom we help, even from those we think we know.

The guy whose dog I helped to bury had a talent for writing, something I did not know before the burial. One fellow we took to a neighboring community was a traveling musical evangelist. Sometimes hitching a ride, he made his way from one church to another. The church to which we took this man was expecting him for the next day’s service. Those whom we help have their unique stories and lessons to be gleaned from them.

The blessings we receive from our “inconvenient” efforts to help may include the peace that comes from knowing that the one we helped has experienced some relief or deliverance.

I wonder what that palsied man’s story was. What did his friends learn about his life and the insights it offered? I would not be surprised if Jesus’ conversation with the infirm man was a little more involved than what Luke records. I also wonder what those who witnessed his healing asked him afterward. “What was it like to gain feeling and strength?”

“Did you expect Jesus to heal you?” “What will you do now?”

We will never know the answers to those and other questions. But we can be certain that those who were inconvenienced were glad that they took the time to help and witness the results.

Let’s allow time to be inconvenienced a bit, be it in large or small ways, for the sake of other people. You and I will be blessings to them, and perhaps we may find a blessing or two in our lives as a result.

Perhaps we should encourage our younger generations to engage in some “inconvenient” activities to help others, be it baking brownies or volunteering to build houses. Those folks are the future. If able, let’s find time for “inconvenient” help for others, because you and I are in the reality of the present.

God, may we thank you for those who have been inconvenienced for our sakes. may we do the same for others in your Name. Amen.

Meditation from the Upper Room

A DILIGENT LISTENER

Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.

— Proverbs 1:5 (NIV)

As my husband and I paddled our kayaks, we spotted fish swimming in the water and alligators sunning on the bank. Soon another kayaker maneuvered over to us and whispered, “Look! A manatee!” We marveled as a manatee swam below us.

At that moment, three other kayakers came into view. One shouted, “I don’t see any manatees!” Another

Longing to return to the familiarities of home

By Stephen Broache

(Editor’s note: Part 8 in a series in honor of the 160th anniversary of The Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863.)

“How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!”

— Psalm 137: 4-5

At Christmastime, I tend to think of childhood places, people, and events. I long for home. The times weren’t all that great, but they were my times, my home.

When I hear Glen Campbell sing “There’s No Place Like Home,” my vision obscures …

The children of Israel also long for home. They were in a foreign land. The word “wither” in verse five has been variously translated, “forget its cunning (or skill)” or “cease to function.”

It was about being so sad — away from Jerusalem — that you forget how to play music. There is no joy.

The poor Southern boys, up north in the summer of 1863, probably felt some of the same feelings. I’m sure there was some excitement about taking the fight to the North after so many 1862-1863 successes.

There is some documentation of their amazement at seeing the fertile lands with the neat and orderly (German influence) farms.

Remember the scene from the movie “Gettysburg” where the aide brings General Lee some cherries and says, “Compliments of the state of Pennsylvania?”

They looked good — and probably were also for the hungry Army of Virginia.

But it was an adventure far from home. Perhaps their “hands withered” as a result of the violence of battle.

They probably had some withered feet too after long and desperate marches.

Their spirits were also longing for home and hearth — that “be it ever so humble ” thing: even warmer than Adams County, with more humidity and fewer cherries and peaches perhaps. The farms might not be as beautiful or well kept and orderly, the houses in most cases smaller, but it was … home.

It was magnolia trees and black-eyed peas and moss on the live oaks.

Quite a few of those soldiers did not return, we know.

But for the lucky ones who did, I’m sure this northern minivacation left them changed — by the trauma of death and dismemberment, by the lasting lesson of clashing ideologies and simply by their separation from all that they held dear behind them.

When those soldiers finally clasped them in their arms again, it was an embrace remembered for all time.

“Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy!” — Psalm 137

Prayer: Home is people and things you give to us, O Lord. Thank you for your gifts, for they make us who we are and fulfill us. Amen.

shouted back, “Maybe they are farther down the river. Let’s go!”

They propelled themselves quickly through the water before we could alert them to the manatee’s presence.

As we continued our slow river trek, I thought about those three people. Distracted by their efforts, they did not hear the hushed voices that led others to the manatee. They failed to notice us, still and quiet, gazing into the water.

Later I wondered: How often am I like those kayakers? What acts of service go undone or prayers of intercession go unspoken because I am too distracted or too hur-

ried to attend to the Holy Spirit’s nudges?

There are times when we must make preparations like Martha. Like the three kayakers, we may find cause for forging ahead.

However, Jesus values Mary’s choice to listen. I hope to follow Mary’s example and become a diligent listener — listening with my ears, with my eyes and with my heart.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Dear Father, help us to listen as we study your word, interact with your children, and seek your will. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

— Terry J. Burns, Florida

Fish

l Lobster Risotto

• ¼ cup butter

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 med. onions, finely chopped

• Salt

• 2 cups arborio, carnaroli or other short- grained white rice

• Meat from 1 cooked lobster, chopped

• 2 Tbsp. minced chives

• ½ cup grated parmesan

• Ground black pepper

• 6 cups lobster stock

In a medium pot, heat the stock and keep warm. In a large, wide saucepan, melt the butter in the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add a large pinch of salt and then add the rice, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth and simmer, stirring until the broth is almost absorbed. Add more broth, a cup at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Stir often. Cook until the rice is tender, and the mixture is creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the lobster meat until heated through and then add the chives and ¼ cup of the parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with remaining parmesan.

l Steamed Mussels

• 2-3 Tbsp. Olive Oil

• 6 lg. garlic cloves, minced

• 1 lg. shallot or red onion, thinly sliced

• Kosher salt

• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning,

• 1 tsp. red pepper flakes

• 3 lbs. mussels

• 1½ cups chicken or vegetable broth

• ½ cup dry white wine

• 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley for garnish

• 4 Tbsp. butter

• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

• French baguette or rustic Italian bread

Rinse the mussels under cold running water, scrubbing with a brush, until the water runs clear. Discard any mussels that are not fully closed or do not close when you give them a gentle tap with your fingernail. In a large Dutch oven or 6-quart cooking pot, heat about 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallots, and season with a good pinch of kosher salt. Add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until fragrant. Add the mussels and stir them around a bit, and then pour in the broth and wine. Cover the pot and let the mussels steam over medium-high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the mussels open up. As soon as the mussel shells are open, immediately remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley and butter. Transfer the mussels and broth to serving bowls and serve immediately with lemon wedges and French or Italian bread.

l Bacon Wrapped Cod with Asparagus

• 6  8 oz. fresh fish fillets, skinned

• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme, leaves only

• 18 slices of bacon, pounded to a uniform thinness if needed

• Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• Fresh ground pepper

• ½ tsp. chili powder

• 2 large bunches of asparagus, root ends trimmed

Preheat your oven to 400 F. Season the fish fillets with rosemary or thyme, finely grated lemon zest and freshly ground pepper. Lay three slices of bacon on a cutting board, slightly overlapping, and then put a seasoned fish fillet on top and wrap the slices around it. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium flame, add a splash of olive oil and lay your fish, prettiest side facing up with the seams from the bacon slices facing down, in the pan. Fry for a minute or two, and then place the pan in your preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the bacon is crisp and golden. While the fish is cooking, you can make your simple lemon mayonnaise by mixing in a nice amount of lemon juice, chili powder and ground pepper. Steam the asparagus and serve on the side of the cod along with the mayonnaise.

l Honey Garlic Shrimp

• 1/3 cup honey

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp. ginger

• 1 lb med. uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined

• 2 tsp. olive oil

• chopped green onion

Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger together in a medium bowl. You will use half for the marinade and half for cooking the shrimp. Place shrimp in a large sealable container or zipped-top bag. Pour 1/2 of the marinade mixture on top; give it all a shake or stir and then allow shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or for up to 10 hours. Cover and refrigerate the rest of the marinade for finishing the recipe. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in the skillet and discard marinade. Cook shrimp on one side until pink, about 45 seconds and then flip shrimp over. Pour in reserved sauce and cook it all until shrimp is cooked through, about 1-2 more minutes. Serve shrimp with cooked marinade sauce and a garnish of green onion. The sauce is excellent with brown rice and steamed vegetables on the side.

Summertime and seafood go hand in hand. That’s because it’s as easy to cook as chicken, but tastes lighter and fresher on a hot, humid day.

l Crab Cakes

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1 lg. egg, beaten

• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 tsp. hot sauce

• 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning

• 1 lb. jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over

• ¾ cup Panko crumbs

• 1/4 cup canola oil

• Lemon wedges, for serving

In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, seasonings and hot sauce until smooth. In a medium bowl, lightly toss the crabmeat with the panko crumbs. Gently fold in the mayonnaise mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Scoop the crab mixture into eight 1/3-cup mounds and lightly pack into 8 patties, about 1 1/2 inches thick. In a large skillet, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the crab cakes and cook over medium-high heat until deeply golden and heated through, about three minutes per side. Transfer the crab cakes to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

l Salmon Caesar with Homemade Croutons

• 2 lg. garlic cloves, divided

• 4 Tbsp. butter, cut into pieces

• 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

• 4 cups Italian bread slices, torn into 1 inch pieces

• ½ tsp. kosher salt, divided

• 2 lemons, divided

• ¾ cup mayonnaise

• ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated

• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard

• 3 drained anchovy fillets, mashed

• ½ tsp. black pepper, divided

• 1.5 lb.  1-inch-thick skin-on center-cut salmon fillet

• 8 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped for salad

• Shaved parmesan cheese, for garnish

Grate one garlic clove and place in a small microwavable bowl; add butter and oil. Cover with a paper towel, and microwave on high until butter is melted, about one minute. Stir to combine. Place bread pieces in a large bowl, and drizzle with butter mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Preheat a gas grill to medium-high on one side, or push hot coals to one side of a charcoal grill. While grill preheats, place 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a small bowl. Grate remaining garlic clove, and add to lemon juice in bowl. Whisk in mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, mustard, anchovies, and ¼ tsp. pepper until combined. Set aside 1/3 cup mayonnaise mixture for spreading over salmon; reserve remaining mayonnaise mixture as dressing for serving. Cut remaining lemon in half crosswise. Sprinkle salmon with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread reserved 1/3 cup mayonnaise mixture over salmon. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

l Key Lime Pie - Great with Fish!

For the CruSt:

• 1½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs

• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

• 5 Tbsp. butter, melted

For the Filling:

• Two 14-oz. cans sweetened condensed milk

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 2 Tbsp. grated lime zest

• ¾ cup key lime juice

For the topping:

• 1 cup cold heavy cream

• 2 Tbsp. confectioners’ sugar

• 1 tsp. grated lime zest

• 8 to 10 thin lime slices

Preheat the oven to 375 F and set an oven rack in the middle position. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Using your fingers and the bottom of a glass or dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a deep dish pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack. Lower the oven temperature to 350 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest and lime juice. Pour the thick mixture into the graham cracker crust. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is almost set; it should wobble a bit. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly for about three hours. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until medium peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream. Decorate with the lime zest and lime slices. Store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Soil and water conservation districts to hold fish sales

a healthy fish ecosystem that can successfully repopulate itself for several fish generations to come. Fender recommends stocking 100 bass to 200 bluegill per surface acre of your pond.

The Dirt on Conservation Jane Houin

It’s hard to remember as summer’s temperatures soar that fall and winter are just around the corner. If you’ve enjoyed a summer fishing at your pond (or maybe more importantly if your summer fishing has NOT been so fruitful), now is a great time to start thinking about stocking your pond this fall to make next summer’s fishing adventure even better.

Many area soil and water conservation districts are planning fall fish stocking sales to help you stock your pond this fall. But, there are several factors to consider when managing your pond: stocking rates, species selection, the number of fish you need and even your pond’s age.

At Ashland SWCD, like most area SWCDs, we purchase our fish from Fender’s Fish Hatchery. Steve Fender wrote the book on pond management — literally. In fact, you can even purchase his pond management book through our fish sale for just $20.

Two species Fender recommends for every pond are large mouth bass and bluegill. These two species work well together and counterbalance each other, setting your pond up for

If you’d like more variety in your pond, yellow perch are a good addition and can be stocked at 100 perch per surface acre. If you have a good food base, feed your fish with pellets and have plenty of structure for the perch to hide in, you might see some reproduction from your perch. However, these fish typically do not reproduce and need periodic restocking. This year, Ashland SWCD has even added fish food to its sale to keep your fish growing, fat and sassy.

Black crappie can also provide some variety and are good to eat when the water is cold according to Fender. Crappies can be stocked at 100 per surface acre and can grow significantly — up to 18 inches or more. However, the crappies will only reproduce once each year.

If you enjoy fishing for and eating catfish, consider stocking your pond with channel catfish. They can also be stocked at 100 per surface acre. However, if you don’t plan on eating or fishing your catfish, Fender does not recommend adding them to your pond because they can eat your bluegill and push back your bass population. That being said, Fender says they are one of the best fish to eat, and the 4-6 inch fingerling purchased through the stocking sale will be 15-16 inches long by the end of next summer.

The redear shellcracker or redeared sunfish gets its name from its red ear flap, yellow breast and the fact that it eats snails, which are parasite carriers. The shellcracker will push back the snail population, reducing parasite problems in your

pond, and they can also be stocked at 100 shellcrackers per acre.

If you enjoy bluegill and enjoy an aggressive fish to catch, Fender says the hybrid bluegill may be a good fit for you. It’s a cross between a green sunfish and a bluegill, which gets very large. As a general rule, Fender says you should stock as many of these fish as you’d like to catch in a summer. They are favorites because of their aggressive bite, fast growth and good eating, but because they are a hybrid, reproduction will eventually revert back to one of the parent species, meaning that they will need occasional restocking.

New ponds will also benefit from fathead minnows. They are also great for promoting growth in your pond with restocks as well because they serve as food for the larger fish. Even though they reproduce prolifically, a sustainable population will never be established because they are at the bottom of the food chain. So, plan on restocking 1,000 minnows per surface acre.

For vegetation control, Fender recommends the white amur, or grass carp at a stocking rate of 8-12 amours per surface acre of your pond. Amurs have been legal to stock in Ohio since 1987, and all amurs sold through Ashland SWCD’s fish sale are sterile, so they cannot reproduce. Amurs get very large (up to 40-50 inches long) and are used as an alternative to chemicals for vegetation control.

Ashland SWCD also sells Nature’s Pond Conditioner as part of its fish-sale lineup. This twoin-one product contains a bacteria that will, over time, turn your pond’s black muck into clean water, helping to lower the fertility levels in the pond. Secondly, it contains a food-grade dye to help create a

natural green color in your pond to help block sunlight and slow the growth of unwanted vegetation. Contact your local SWCD for information on their specific sale. Orders can be placed through Ashland SWCD’s website at www.ashlandswcd.com or by picking up an order form at the Ashland SWCD office. The order deadline is Oct. 6 with pick up from 10-11 a.m. until noon on Oct. 17. For more information, contact the Ashland SWCD office at 419-281-7645.

Life Out Loud!

Hippo-sized hazards, predatory pets

You know, I have to say it yet again for those who keep forgetting: Nature is NOT to be trusted.

Seemingly every day, one of you goes out to commune with nature. Or cavort with it. Or whatever it is people who are trying to die do. All the while, you remain oblivious to the fact that all those cute (and not so cute) fuzzy, scaled and winged creatures PROBABLY

WANT TO KILL YOU.

We live on a planet where, every so often, a mountain explodes. And we’re just supposed to be okay with that. Mountains are clearly unpredictable. See also: avalanches, tidal waves, etc. Basically, natural disasters are going to disaster. The least we can do is try to avoid adding animal attacks to our risk assessment.

Illegal. For the record, we Ohioans cannot legally keep these seven animals as pets: Lions, tigers, bears, (oh my!) elephants, alligators, monkeys or servals (whatever those are).

The actual rules read as follows: “The state of Ohio considers hippopotami, Komodo dragons and howler monkeys, among other animals, dangerous. Snakes that are 12 feet or longer are also prohibited.”

I would argue that even snakes that are no longer than a shoelace scare the peanuts out of me, but I’m also a sissy. I once fled screaming and splashing from my own bathing suit tie when it floated near me in the water.

Not clear. I decided to do a little research to set my mind at ease. According to nearly every alligator expert in the world, and based on the environment of the Midwest, there should not be any alligators in Ohio. Unfortunately, no one told them. Ohio has lakes, rivers and not a lot of swamps. It is not the kind of place you would expect to find a creature who cannot adjust to the cold very well. I can relate.

Obviously, the state was not clear in regard to what one who found themselves in illegal possession of an alligator should do with it. I am pretty sure “dump it in a nearby lake or river” was NOT the solution the state had in mind.

Beneficial bats

How bats and humans need each other

By Barbara Mudrak

While some folks think bats are creepy and should be shooed away, they are essential to the environment and benefit people, especially those in agriculture. It’s estimated that Ohio’s bats save $1 billion a year in crop loss because of all the insects they eat.

The tricolored bat, the smallest species found in the state, weighs about six grams — the weight of two pennies — while the hoary bat, the biggest in Ohio, can weigh almost six times as much. A bat can eat up to its entire body weight in insects in a single night. Their menu includes night-flying beetles, deer flies and mosquitos.

“That’s thousands of insects per night,” said Eileen Wyza, PhD, the wildlife biologist in charge of terrestrial species of greatest conservation need for the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

Bats find insects in the dark by echolocation. They send out highpitched vocalizations that we can’t hear but they can and which bounce off the thing they’re after. The closer they get, the more frequent the vocalizations, creating an almost 3-D image of their prey.

Not picky. The dozen or so species of bats seen in Ohio are strictly nocturnal, active from just after sunset to just before sunrise, Wyza said. And while bats in other parts of the world eat nectar, fruit, fish, rodents — and in the case of vampire bats, blood — Ohio’s species eat insects exclusively. And they’re not picky

“None of our bats are specialists,” she said. “They’ll eat pretty much any kind of insect.”

Bats that stay here year-round have not only adapted to the state’s insect menu but also to Ohio winters. They employ delayed fertilization, mating in the fall “when they’re full of fat and have the energy,” Wyza said. They hold onto the sperm during hibernation, then fertilize their eggs in spring — after they’ve had a chance to eat some insects and regain some fat stores.

Bats have their babies in May and nurse them for a few weeks. The pups start to fly at about five weeks. By the way, bats are the only mammals that can truly fly, Wyza said. Flying squirrels only glide.

Grounded. The Division of Wildlife often gets calls from late July into August when people may find a baby bat on the ground. That’s because they’re not very good at flying yet. But more importantly, they don’t have the strength to take off from the ground.

Bats hang upside down to sleep during the day, the claws of their feet clinging to tree bark or other rough surfaces. That’s why bat houses have the opening at the bottom, not on the side as bird houses do. When they’re ready to fly, they drop down and then zoom up, like a plane doing aerobatics.

If you find a bat pup on the ground, you can try picking it up — with gloves on — and placing it on a tree trunk, the side of a barn or some other rough surface; anywhere that it can get a flying start.

But if the pup is dehydrated, it might not be able to cling to a vertical surface. In that case, call one of the wildlife rehabilitators listed on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website, Wyza said.

Beneficial bats

(Continued from Page B1)

Endangered. There’s a reason that bats fall under the “terrestrial species of greatest conservation need” in her title. Some, like the Indiana bat, were already on endangered species lists because of their sensitivity to insecticides, loss of forest habitat, etc. But others among Ohio’s bat species have experienced a 95% decline in population since white-nose syndrome appeared here a decade ago.

White-nose syndrome is caused by a fungus that probably came from Europe. It loves the cold and spreads in caves, abandoned mines and other places where bats hibernate during the winter. In later stages, the fungus appears on bats’ muzzles and wings but also causes internal changes, including irritation that makes them wake up prematurely and use up their fat reserves before food is available.

In the past few years, one or two of these endangered bats have been found in surveys, so their population declines have been deemed “stabilized.”

“But that doesn’t mean they’re rebounding,” Wyza said. “We may find a couple of individuals, but we don’t

know if that means they can find a summer roosting area, find a mate and have little ones.”

Her agency is trying to help bats by locating trees where they are roosting in summer, then protecting other trees for several miles around it from clearing or development — permanently. That’s doable on public land, like parks. On private land, “we just try to talk to the owners and see if we can convince them to help,” she said.

Homeowners are also encouraged to put up bat houses, grow native plants that attract moths and other insects on the bats’ menu and create long ponds that give bats enough room to swoop down and get a drink as they fly by.

Why would anyone want to attract bats to their home?

“People who do this report fewer mosquitos, deer flies and other pests around the house, plus less damage to food crops,” Wyza said. “Bats are beneficial because they’re great at insect control.”

Making a bat house a bat home

By Barbara Mudrak

Jamey Emmert and her husband put up a bat house two and a half years ago. It remained vacant till this spring, when a little brown bat they named Wyclef moved in.

“We were ecstatic to have this little guy living in the house,” Emmert said.

Bats hibernate in caves, rock crevices or buildings from November to March, but then they must find a place where they can roost during the day and hunt for insects at night. That’s when bat houses are helpful.

As a wildlife communications specialist for the Ohio Division of Wildlife, Emmert sometimes conducts programs on building small bat houses from kits. But the couple was given a huge bat house as a gift, one with multiple chambers that’s like an apartment building for bats. That turned out to be ideal for Wyclef, since males of the little brown bat species tend to be loners who don’t like roommates.

Specs. Each chamber of the house is about 20 inches high. The wood on the inside is scored or textured so the bats can dig in and hang on with the claws on their feet. With this bat-friendly decor, Wyclef can spend his days snoozing upside down Emmert said bat houses should

be put up as high as possible, at least 15 feet off the ground, because bats need some altitude before they can become airborne. For that reason, the bat house was put up next to the attic vent in the humans’ house.

There’s also a reason why the entrance to a bat house is at the bottom rather than on the front, like birdhouses. When Wyclef is ready to hunt bugs, usually a little after 9 p.m. on summer evenings, he “flings himself out of the opening at the bottom, drops down, makes a U-turn and comes up flying,” Emmert said.

Bat houses should face east or southeast so they don’t get too hot in the afternoon sun, she said. There should be no trees, vegetation or other obstacles in front of the house so that resident bats can swoop down and crawl up through the entrance.

Color is also important, Emmert said. Ohio has relatively mild temperatures for three-quarters of the year, so a neutral gray or greenish gray is good. In Canada, they want darker colors to absorb the heat, while reflective white is preferred in the South.

The Bat Conservation International website, batcon.org, has plans for building bat houses of various sizes. They also have a list of approved vendors who sell kits or already-assembled

bat houses. The Bat Conservation & Management organization sells bat houses that range from one to four chambers, and “rocket box” houses that simulate a dead tree. Their website is batmanagement.com.

Gardening for bats. Another thing homeowners can do to help bats is plant native species that attract nectardrinking insects, like moths. Emmert likes Culver’s root, evening primrose and spiderwort. She recommends getting a book called “Gardening for Moths: A Regional Guide” by Jim McCormac and Chelsea Gottfried.

Bats also need a source of water, but a bird bath simply won’t do, she said. Bats don’t land to drink, but zoom down and sip water while they fly. That means they need a pond, stream or other body of water that is long enough to accommodate their flight plan.

“Humans need bats, and for once, bats need humans,” Emmert said. “Do whatever you can to protect bat populations. Since everything is connected, you will be saving countless other species too.”

Hippo-sized hazards, predatory pets

Three alligators have been found over the past few years in the city limits of Akron, Ohio, alone. You must have an exotic pet license to own an alligator in Ohio, and at last count, approximately 20 people are licensed to own alligators in the Cleveland area. This just goes to show you can have a very nice city and people are still going to make choices that mean WE CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS.

Two alligators were discovered to be living in a Dayton, Ohio, area river. Two alligators. Let that sink in. Also, let alligators sink in. You should be able to believe in your deepest heart that Ohio winters are a fair tradeoff for NEVER HAVING A CARE IN THE WORLD THAT YOU MIGHT MEET AN ALLIGATOR IN OHIO WATERS. I enjoy boating and swimming in Ohio waters and I did not sign up for this level of risk.

Smart. Wildlife officials were unable to capture the alligators. Yes, you read that right. They EVADED CAPTURE. This makes them smarter than most human criminals. This fact does absolutely nothing to alleviate my concerns. It has since been reported that one alligator was killed by law enforcement officers. So now we are down to “just” one lonely alligator — or so we hope.

Recent statistics found on the internet, which as you know is never wrong, include the following:

Sharks kill five people annually.

Horses kill 20 people annually.

Cows kill 22 people annually.

Ants kill 30 people annually.

Jellyfish kill 40 people annually.

Deer kill approximately 130 people annually.

Hippos kill 2,900 people annually. (Seriously?)

One thing is clear from my research: If you simply must have an unusual pet, sharks are clearly the best choice.

Learn about the Valley’s Coal War

WARREN, Ohio — Visitors to the Warren Italian Festival will have the opportunity to view the Trumbull County Historical Society’s traveling exhibit honoring the 150th anniversary of the Coal War in the Mahoning Valley.

Volatile coal markets in the United States and an economic tailspin in Italy set the stage for unprecedented conflict in Mahoning Valley. Visitors can learn how Italian immigration and Black migration played a role in strikebreaking in 1873 and the violence that followed.

The Warren Italian Festival will be Aug. 10-13 from 4 to 11 p.m. at Warren’s Courthouse Square, 180 N. Park Ave.

TCHS has partnered with authors Ben Lariccia and Joe Tucciarone to share the stories of the Coal War this summer. Their book, “Coal War in the Mahoning Valley,” reminds us that ethnic differences and competition for work remain a dangerous social lever in the hands of the powerful.

Courthouse Square is the second stop of a traveling exhibit that will visit various sites in the Mahoning Valley from June to November 2023.

The exhibit will next go to the Hubbard Public Library, 436 W Liberty St. in Hubbard, where it will be on display Aug. 15 to Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Collectors desire antique signs

By Terry and Kim Kovel

With its simple shapes, copper frame and red glass panels, this might look like a hanging sculpture in a modern abstract style. It’s really an optician’s trade sign from the late 19th century.

Antique signs, advertising and medical paraphernalia are popular collectibles. Some collectors seek them out for their historical significance or subject matter. Others consider them works of art. Signs that sell as folk art tend to bring higher prices at auction.

This one sold for $1,625 at Cowan’s Auctions for more than twice the estimated value. The buyer might have had an interest in optometry or simply liked the look of the piece.

The cup is white, and the lettering is blue. We also have a 12-ounce drinking glass and eight 8-ounce glasses with the Elsie logo. Are these collectible? What are they worth?

A. The Borden company has been in business for more than 160

years. Gail Borden and his partner started the company after Borden was granted a patent for his process for condensing milk in 1856. The company was named the New York Condensed Milk Company until 1919 when it became the Borden Company. It was the world’s largest dairy operator by the late 1980s. Income fell in the ‘90s, and the company was sold in 1995. It was sold again in 2009, and the name became Borden Dairy.

Elsie the Cow first appeared in ads in 1936. Her image was also used on milk bottle caps. The first live cow dubbed “Elsie” appeared in Borden’s exhibit at the 1939 World’s Fair. She outdrew every other exhibit at the fair. Elsie’s image has appeared on bottles, glasses, cups, clocks, lamps, figurines, playing cards and many other items. Glasses and cups sell for about $7 to $10. You will find cups offered for sale at higher asking prices, but they often sell for $10 or less.

Museum to exhibit paintings by Hilary Gent

MASSILLON, Ohio — The Massillon Museum will exhibit paintings by Hilary Gent, Waters of Motherhood, through Sept. 17 in Studio M. A free public reception for the artist will be held on Sept. 9, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Hilary Gent, a Cleveland artist who works with oil and latex mediums, is inspired by urban and natural landscapes. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kent State University in 2003. Gent’s paintings are included in public collections such as The Cleveland Clinic, Summa Hospitals, Sherwin Williams, cARTa, Hilton Hotels Corporation and numerous private collections.

She is inspired by the extensive color palette she sees in reflections of light, landscape and other objects

in and on the water. Layers take shape by pouring Sherwin Williams latex paint onto the canvas while it’s flat.

The artist says water’s movement and energy are ever-changing, similar to the cycles and patterns of motherhood. She translates these unpredictable, turbulent, joyous and blissful moments with imagery inspired by the temperament of Lake Erie.

A MassMusings podcast interview with the artist will be posted at MassillonMuseum.org on Sept. 12 at 12 p.m.

When visiting the Studio M exhibition, guests can also view Ten Point Perspective, A Way to Win: Paul Brown’s Innovations, the Paul Brown/Massillon Tigers Football

History Timeline, the Photography Gallery, the Immel Circus, the Local History Gallery, Innovators of Massillon, Judith Paquelet American Indian Gallery, Edward and Louise Mahoney Family Archaeological and Ethnological Gallery and Albert E. Hise Fine and Decorative Arts Gallery.

Exhibitions can be seen during regular Massillon Museum hours, Tuesday through Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Massillon Museum is located at 121 Lincoln Way East. A visit is always free and everyone is welcome. Free parking is available on adjacent streets and in nearby city lots. For more information, call 330-833-4061 or visit massillonmuseum.org.

AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: Chris Brown grew up in Lowell, Ohio. He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved the challenge of shooting, whether he was standing upright or later in life shooting from his wheelchair. He always looked forward to the camaraderie with his friends at the gun clubs as well as the solitude of the woods. Over the years, Chris was able to amass a highly desirable collection of guns. Each gun has a history and unique story behind it. Each piece valued for its precision, beauty, rarity and sentiment. It was Chris’ wish that others have the opportunity to purchase and appreciate these special items, as he did.

Werle, who is enrolled in YSU’s Sokolov Honors College, is a double major in journalism and communication, with a minor in English. She is a student assistant in the univer-

sity’s office of marketing and communications and the assistant copy editor at The Jambar, the university’s student newspaper. Effinite, who has been on the dean’s list since the fall of 2020, is seeking a corporate communication position. Her LinkedIn page reflects an abiding interest in golf, saying she enjoys promoting the game and that her goal is to work in the golf industry. Since May 2018, Effinite has been a golf shop assistant at the Tam O’Shanter Golf Course in Hermitage, where she organizes new product

displays, trains new co-workers and participates in promotional videos.

Werle and Effinite will be recognized at the press club’s Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at Stambaugh Auditorium.

The scholarships are funded by club membership dues, proceeds from club events and direct donations from individuals and the club’s corporate sponsors. The Youngstown Press Club was re-established in 2018 to promote journalism and other communication-related professions in the Mahoning Valley.

Researchers to study the impact of environmental chemical exposure on the gut microbiome

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. —

Worldwide, high rates of obesity and other inflammatory conditions are associated with increased risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Investigating how environmental chemical exposure impacts the gut microbiome to exacerbate these conditions is the goal of a new $7 million grant awarded to Andrew Patterson, professor of molecular toxicology and the John T. and Paige S. Smith Professor in the College of Agricultural Sciences. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the funding

under its Revolutionizing Innovative, Visionary Environmental health Research, or RIVER program.

“Risk factors such as diet and lifestyle, as well as rare examples of genetic predisposition, can’t entirely explain this rapidly growing public health problem,” Patterson said. “There is compelling scientific evidence that exposure to environmental chemicals through the diet — in particular, persistent environmental chemicals — may play an important role in these chronic diseases.” Research needed. Patterson, who also holds an appointment as professor of biochemistry and molecular biology in the Eberly Col-

lege of Science, said levels of these chemicals increasingly are found in humans. He said research is urgently needed to study the mechanisms associated with environmental chemicals and to evaluate their connection with chronic diseases like obesity and inflammatory bowel disease.

Patterson said previous research has shown that one of these receptors — the aryl hydrocarbon receptor or AHR — is a key factor in communicating between the host and gut microbiome. It’s a pivotal regulator of the immune system. His group will begin by building on its studies of the AHR and the gut microbiome and transition to examine other key

receptors, with an eye toward identifying the mechanisms by which environmental chemicals influence host-microbiome interactions to exacerbate chronic disease.

Patterson will lead an interdisciplinary team consisting of experts in biochemistry, enzymology, immunology, metabolism, microbiology and toxicology.

Goals of study. The researchers will do the following:

• Examine how early-life exposure to environmental chemicals alters the gut microbiome to impact health outcomes — such as metabolic disorders or acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disorders — later

in life.

• Investigate how environmental chemicals directly impact commensal, or beneficial, bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract including their metabolic activities and their potential to modulate human health.

• Explore pathways involved in how environmental chemicals control and influence human health.

Patterson said each theme addresses important questions related to environmental chemicals and the gut microbiome, and he anticipates that advances made within one theme may impact the direction of the others.

ASMV launches program to help caregivers of adults with special needs

YOUNGSTOWN — One of the most persistent concerns for a special needs parent is how their child will be cared for when the parent is gone. The long-term needs of a family affected by autism are significant and costly. Inspired by the moving true story of a local special needs single dad who faced a life-threatening health crisis, the Autism Society of the Mahoning Valley is launching Sophia’s Gift, a multi-part family trust project.

The project begins with a free family workshop series led by local attorneys. A recent community survey determined that the majority of local families lack understanding and, as a result, do not have legal guardianship, STABLE accounts, or a Special Needs Trust established to establish a care system for an adult child with special needs.

The one-hour workshops will focus on these legal and financial needs. Similar information will be shared at each, but you can attend as many as you would like. It is a great opportunity to meet many local experts.

The workshops are scheduled at varied times and locations to accommodate the work and family schedules of the families in the three counties ASMV serves. It is hoped that every family affected by autism will attend at least one of these events to help with their planning needs.

The first workshop will be Aug, 12, at 10 a.m. at the Canfield Library, 43 W. Main St. in Canfield. Attorney Karen Bovard of the firm Johnson & Johnson will be the featured speaker. Future workshops will be in Columbiana, Youngstown and Niles.

In conjunction with this effort to offer further support, ASMV will launch Sophia’s Gift. This ASMVdirected fund will provide workshop-participating families the opportunity to have the often-costly life planning provided gratis or at a reduced cost.

In addition, a future emergency mini-grant fund will be established should a family experience a catastrophic need. Donations are being accepted now.

For additional information, call 330.333.9609 or visit autismmv.org.

OSU receives $2.5 million for nutrition program

COLUMBUS — The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences has received a $2.5 million award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to fund a project that will focus on improving nutrition and physical activity, and will address health disparities related to poor nutrition, physical activity and obesity.

The grant will fund the High Obesity Program, which, in Ohio, will be led by Ohio State University Extension, the outreach arm of CFAES. The five-year program will focus on rural communities, where 40% or more of adults have obesity, said Carol Smathers, a CFAES associate professor and field specialist in youth nutrition and wellness for OSU Extension.

The HOP will work to increase the following:

• Access to healthier food by promoting Ohio’s Good Food Here food service and nutrition guidelines and by coordinating uptake and expansion of Produce Perks fruit and vegetable voucher incentives.

access to physical activity by developing policies and plans that support safe and accessible opportunities for physical activity.

• The number of early care and education programs that are impacted by farm to early care and education improvements by implementing policies and activities to support purchasing, serving, and teaching about local foods in early care and education settings.

The program will focus on Lawrence County, which, according to the County Health Rankings, ranks 81 out of 88 for health outcomes. The rankings consider life expectancy, quality of life, health behaviors, social and economic factors and the physical environment. The county also has an adult obesity rate of 40.6%, an adult physical inactivity rate of 35%, an adult diabetes rate of 12%, and a food insecurity rate of 17%.

The program will also focus on Fayette County which, according to the County Health Rankings, ranks 74 out of 88 for health outcomes, h as an adult obesity rate of 44.8%, an adult physical inactivity rate of 35%, an adult diabetes rate of 11%, and a food insecurity rate of 16%.

Smathers and her team like to think of HOP as the “Healthy Opportunities Program.”

CFAES is one of 16 HOP grant recipients. A complete list of the CDC’s HOP recipients and additional information can be found on the HOP website.

How to repair plaster wall cracks

By James Dulley

Dear James: I have an old house with plaster walls and many cracks that need to be repaired. How can I fix these so they stay fixed and are invisible?

— Julianne T.

Dear Julianne: Many older houses were built before drywall panels existed, so plaster was one of the few interior wall options. Since your house obviously is old, it has probably settled as much as it ever will, and the repaired cracks should not crack again.

Even with some cracks, plaster is still my preferred wall surface. It is a harder surface and resists water much better than drywall. This makes it more washable and easier to apply and remove wallpaper.

It is also denser to minimize noise between rooms.

If you have plenty of time and you are not averse to a messy room for a few days, you and your husband should be able to repair most of the cracks. It is possible, when using certain joint compounds, to finish the entire job in one day, but don’t bet on it.

Crack. Plaster, being a very hard material, will crack when the wood-

Grants available for volunteer fire departments to improve safety

COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike

DeWine and Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Administrator John Logue recently announced that local volunteer fire departments are now eligible to receive up to $15,000 in grants to pay for firefighting safety gear.

Following a recommendation from Gov. DeWine’s Ohio Volunteer Fire Service Task Force, BWC has now broadened eligibility for its Firefighter Exposure to Environmental Elements Grants to include emergency response “turnout” gear for local volunteer fire departments.

With this change to FEEEG eligibility, volunteer fire departments can now apply for up to $15,000 every three years for firefighting gear such as trousers, boots, suspenders and jackets.

DeWine created the Ohio Volunteer Fire Service Task Force in April 2022 to study volunteer fire service in Ohio. The group was chaired by State Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon and comprised of local elected officials and firefighters from across the state. The task force issued a 31-page report in February with several recommendations surrounding various topics including volunteer recruitment, retention, and training.

Volunteer fire departments interested in applying for FEEEG funding can visit BWC’s Grant Management Portal at grantmanagement.bwc. ohio.gov/ to complete an application.

Car and tractor show set for Aug. 27

FOWLER, Ohio — The Fowler Township Historical Society’s annual Car and Tractor Show will be held Aug. 27 at Fowler Center On The Green, 4600 OH-305, Fowler, Ohio 44418.

The show starts a noon. Bring your car, tractor or just yourself and a lawn chair to enjoy the dairy. A drawing for the Chinese auction starts at 3 p.m.

en structure beneath it flexes. Many of the cracks probably start from the corners of windows or doors.

Although you can fix these spots, they are natural stress relief areas. Over time, small cracks may reappear.

The quality of your repair job will determine how many years it will be until some of these cracks reappear. Trying to control the year-round humidity level inside your home will help stabilize the structural lumber and minimize additional cracking.

The proper method to repair these cracks in the plaster is not unlike finishing drywall seams. Some people recommend widening the crack and then filling it with compound. This is usually just a short-term fix because the wall or ceiling will continue to flex at that spot and crack again.

The best crack repair procedure involves laying fiberglass joint tape over the crack and finishing it with a joint compound. If you are really energetic, you can apply large sheets of fiberglass mesh over the entire wall or ceiling and then finish them with a plaster skim coat.

Sand. To fix a crack, sand the area over it. Sand an area slightly wider than the width of the fiberglass mesh joint tape. Although this step is not absolutely necessary, it does recess the area slightly. This makes it easier to

eliminate a hump at the repaired spot. When repairing plaster walls, use a professional type of dry powder joint compound (mix with water when you use it). A ready-mixed joint compound in a tub is quick to use, but it may not adhere to the plaster as well as the professional dry type. It is also more prone to scratching because it does not dry as hard.

Since the dry compound is usually a professional product, you may not find it at most home centers.

Some compounds get hard within 30 minutes after they are mixed with water. This is ideal for an experienced builder. For most do-ityourselfers, select a slower-setting mixture that gives you an hour or two to work with it.

First, apply a 1/8-inch layer of the joint compound over the crack. Press a strip of the fiberglass mesh tape into the compound. Run a drywall knife over the tape and scrape away about half of the compound. When this is set apply thin second and third coats of compound, spreading them smooth. Using a rubber float, trowel the final coat smooth just before it sets.

Pa. 4-H’er takes top spot in beekeeping essay contest

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees recently named Pennsylvania 4-H member Zephan Samuel, of Butler County, the second-place winner of this year’s National 4-H Beekeeping Essay competition. He earned a $500 prize as well as publication in ABF Quarterly, the magazine of the American Beekeeping Federation.

The essay asked 4-H members to write about the importance of beeswax. Zephan’s essay focused on the versatile uses of beeswax by both bees and humans. He said that his family shares an interest in bees. They have made candles, soap and lip balm together using beeswax.

In addition to his bee-related activities, Zephan participates in 4-H clubs focused on robotics, archery, eSports and photography.

Grants available to reduce diesel emissions

WASHINGTON — On Aug. 2, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the availability of $115 million in grant funding for projects that cut harmful pollution from the nation’s existing fleet of older diesel engines. Under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act grant funding competition, EPA anticipates making up to 10 awards available to eligible applicants in each of the EPA’s ten regions.

EPA is soliciting applications nationwide for projects that significantly reduce diesel emissions and exposure, especially from fleets operating at goods movement facilities in areas designated as having poor air quality.

Applicants may request funding to upgrade or replace older diesel-pow-

ered buses, trucks, marine engines, locomotives and nonroad equipment with newer, cleaner technologies. Priority for funding will also be given to projects that engage and benefit the health of local communities already overburdened by air pollution, protect grant-funded investments from severe weather events caused by climate change and applicants that demonstrate their ability to promote and continue efforts to reduce emissions after the project has ended.

EPA is seeking cost-effective diesel emission reduction projects that maximize health benefits, reduce diesel exposure for those facing poor air quality and employ community-based inclusive and collaborative approaches to reduce harmful emissions.

The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Program delivers on the BidenHarris Administration’s Justice40 Initiative to ensure that at least 40% of the benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities, creating good-paying jobs and driving inclusive economic growth.

The grant funding opportunity is open until Dec. 1. For any questions on the application, applicants should email written questions to: dera@epa.gov. For any technical issues with grants.gov, please contact grants.gov for assistance at 1-800518-4726 or support@grants.gov.

Penn State to study Pennsylvania riparian buffers

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — At a time when Pennsylvania is largely counting on riparian buffers to achieve water-quality improvements needed to meet the state’s obligations for cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay, a multidisciplinary Penn State research team is studying whether the agricultural pollution-prevention devices are working properly.

Riparian buffers — areas adjacent to streams or wetlands that contain a combination of trees, shrubs and grasses — are managed differently from the surrounding landscape to provide conservation benefits. In agricultural areas, buffers intercept sediment, nutrients, pesticides and chemicals of environmental concern in surface runoff and in shallow subsurface water flow to reduce the amounts that get into waterways.

The most recent Watershed Implementation Plan that Pennsylvania submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency includes 83,000 acres of new riparian buffers along streams on agricultural lands. The estimated cost to establish those buffers exceeds $20 million annually through 2025. Obviously, it would be helpful for state and federal officials to know how effective buffers really are, said research team leader Heather Preisendanz, associate pro-

Adopt a wild horse event set in Ohio

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The Bureau of Land Management is holding a wild horse and burro placement event Aug. 11-12 at the Ohio Horse Park, 400 Bobcat Lane, Franklin Furnace, Ohio.

The event will offer for adoption about 30 excess animals gathered from western rangelands. Adoptions and sales will be held by appointment only from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CDT Aug. 11, and from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. CDT Aug. 12. On both days, placements will occur in one-hour increments (five appointments per hour).

Appointments can be made via email at BLM_ES_NSDO_WHB@ blm.gov. The BLM requests all potential buyers and adopters to disclose their top three preferred time slots when making appointments.

The BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program was designed to help improve rangeland health in overpopulated herd management areas in the western states and to save taxpayer costs for animals held at off-range holding facilities. Through this program, qualified adopters are eligible to receive $1,000 after one year of issuance of the certificate of title for an untrained wild horse or burro. The incentive is available for all untrained animals eligible for adoption with an adoption fee of $125 per animal.

Animals that are over 10 years old or younger animals who were unsuccessfully adopted out to new homes three times may be sold. BLM staff will be available to identify these animals to interested, qualified buyers. Purchasers will receive immediate ownership of the animals.

Applicants to adopt must be at least 18 years old; provide a facility with access to feed, water and shelter; and have a stock or horse trailer with a rear swing gate and covered top. The basic facility requirements are a minimum of 400 square feet of corral spaces per animal for untrained animals with suitable fencing as laid out in the program guidelines.

fessor of agricultural and biological engineering.

Questions have emerged about existing buffers’ capabilities, she said. In a recent survey of 52 buffers at long-term agricultural research sites, 27 were underperforming by as much as 78%, damaged by breaches called concentrated flow pathways. These torrents of varying intensity undermine buffers’ integrity by “short circuiting” them, essentially enabling surface runoff to enter streams untreated.

Such short-circuiting can render the potential pollution-mitigation properties of buffers ineffective in the most extreme cases.

“If we’re going to put such a large portion of our eggs into the buffers basket, then we want to make sure that they are performing the way we need them to,” Preisendanz said.

“Pennsylvania is relying on forested

buffers to meet 49% of its phosphorus-reduction goals and 16% of its nitrogen-reduction goals. If buffers underperform, then Pennsylvania and other states that use them as an integral component of watershed management plans will struggle to achieve load-reduction goals. We definitely need to understand how to make buffers as effective as possible to meet these goals.”

Grant project. Funded by a threeyear, $750,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Preisendanz and colleagues in the College of Agricultural Sciences will evaluate the role that concentrated flow pathways play in undermining the ability of riparian buffers to mitigate excess nutrients, sediments and pesticides. The researchers will also develop solutions for restoring and maintaining buffer integrity.

The study will include both field studies and computer modeling. The team selected two small stream basins that are heavily influenced by agriculture as case study watersheds. They will measure and analyze riparian buffer performance in the headwaters of Mahantango Creek in Dauphin County and in the Halfmoon Creek watershed in Centre County. Both streams are impaired due to agricultural sources of sediment.

Modeling will include new, innovative methods of measuring the volume, intensity and path of runoff using modern GIS tools and drone image mapping. The researchers will evaluate runoff for nutrient, sediment, pesticides and chemicals of environmental concern, determining the extent to which “hot spots” for nutrients and pesticides overlap with concentrated flow pathways drainage areas.

“This will allow the team to identify the most vulnerable locations in the watersheds and offer appropriate solutions for minimizing the impact of these ‘hot spots’ on water quality,” Preisendanz said.

Finally, the researchers plan to conduct farmer surveys to evaluate the willingness of farmers to adopt runoff-control technologies and develop a coupled water quality and socioeconomic model that can inform watershed-scale decision-making regarding adoption of new riparian buffers.

Results of the field-based studies will be used to develop and validate computer-based toolkits that can predict the occurrence of concentrated flow pathways, Preisendanz pointed out. “Overall, the results of this project will provide the data and tools needed to restore and maintain buffer integrity,” she said.

ODNR adds seven to Hall of Fame

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohioans who have dedicated their lives to the conservation and preservation of Ohio’s natural resources received top honors July 26 from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Family, friends, and fairgoers watched as Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, ODNR Director Mary Mertz, and other ODNR officials inducted seven people into the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame and awarded seven others with ODNR’s Cardinal Award.

The Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame was created in 1966 to celebrate individuals who have made significant contributions to protecting Ohio’s natural resources. With the most recent inductions, the number of people presented with this honor is 193.

The Cardinal Award, created in 1971, honors individuals and organizations that demonstrate exceptional awareness and concern for ideals reflected in the department’s mission statement: “To ensure a balance ‘tween the wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Cardinal Award recipients have included outdoor writers, educators, farmers, biologists, naturalists, businesses, sporting organizations and volunteers across the state of Ohio.”

HALL

OF FAME

Denis Case. Case was employed by ODNR as Chief of the Division of Research from 1973 to 1975. In 1975, he recommended to the Director of ODNR that his division and position be eliminated and that each division should conduct their own research. From 1975 to his retirement in 1996, he was a wildlife biologist with ODNR’s Division of Wildlife, responsible for developing and prioritizing terrestrial endangered species and biodiversity programs. Case was the driving force behind Ohio’s first bald eagle recovery program as well as recovery of the river otter, peregrine falcon and a host of other endangered species. Since his retirement, he and his wife Rita have worked with the Appalachian Ohio Alliance to protect land parcels, and since 2006 they’ve volunteered their time radiotracking timber rattlesnakes.

D’Arcy Patrick Egan. Egan began his journalism career as an editor and sportswriter in Coshocton, Medina County, and Cleveland in the 1960s and 1970s. Later, Egan was the fulltime outdoors editor for the Cleveland Plain Dealer for 40 years and full-time editor of The Beacon (Port Clinton) for the last five years of his career leading up to his retirement in 2023. He focused on Lake Erie and northern Ohio woods and waters in his coverage. Egan spearheaded a successful movement to ban gill nets in Ohio waters, fighting invasive species such as Asian carp and promoting sound research to advance Ohio fisheries, especially Lake Erie walleye and the highly successful steelhead trout program. He extensively wrote about hunter safety, safe boating practices and, as a licensed Lake Erie fishing guide, introduced anglers to safe and ethical fishing. In 2008, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources presented Egan with the Cardinal Award.

Tom Kashmer. Kashmer, who died in June, was a dedicated conservationist with more than 40 years of service in Ohio. He started banding birds in 1983 and founded the Green Creek Wildlife Society in 1984. His educational and research organization focused on bird education and conservation, something he also promoted as an Ohio History and World Geography teacher at Gibsonburg High School for 28 years. Under Kashmer’s direction, Green Creek Wildlife Society members installed more than 1,000 bluebird boxes, leading to the banding of more

than 16,000 eastern bluebirds and 26,000 tree swallows. He was also involved in small stream research, colonial wader banding and graduate research programs on rails and shorebirds. After retirement from teaching and up until his passing, he led numerous bird, eagle, and kayak tours as a research coordinator for the Sandusky County Park District.

Paul E. Knoop, Jr. Knoop’s career spanned 35 years as education director at Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm. In 1995, Aullwood opened the Paul Knoop Prairie adjacent to the farm near Dayton International Airport. After retirement, Knoop and his wife Cathy moved to Hocking County and continue to be involved in nature education. They both teach natural history field classes for Ashland University and lead wildflower hikes at the Land Conservancy Arc of Appalachia. Knoop co-wrote “The Birds of Hocking County, Ohio”, published in 2016. Knoop has earned many honors, including the George B. Fell Award, given by the Natural Areas Association. He is a founding member and the inaugural secretary of the Appalachia Ohio Alliance. Founded in 2001, the Alliance preserves and restores natural ecosystems, facilitates the protection of historical landmarks, and supports educational and outreach activities in Ohio’s Appalachia region.

Dr. Larry B. Mixon, Sr. Mixon, who died in March, discovered a love for Ohio’s natural resources at a young age. Mixon grew to be an avid outdoorsman, enjoying rabbit and wild turkey hunting, bow hunting for deer, and fishing. In 2003, recognizing Mixon’s passion for the outdoors and his commitment to serving the public, Gov. Bob Taft appointed him to the Ohio Wildlife Council, an eight-member board that approves proposed rules and regulations by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. Mixon was very involved in Wildlife Council proposals and presentations, taking all of the information into consideration and providing positive feedback to the Division of Wildlife on rule proposals. Mixon served in positions of increasing responsibility and authority in the U.S. Army. He held positions as interviewing officer, executive officer and company commander. Later, he held many roles as an administrator for

Columbus Public Schools, serving as superintendent from 1993 to 1997.

Eric Partee. Partee led the Little Miami Conservancy for 40 years as executive director and played a big role in saving a national treasure right here in Ohio. He oversaw the protection of 2,000 acres of land along the river and its tributaries, hundreds of river sweeps involving thousands of volunteers to clean up hundreds of tons of river debris, implementation of water quality programs to monitor the overall health of the river and the planting of over 50,000 native trees and over 100 acres of prairies to preserve the water and floodplain habitat. Postretirement, Partee continues to be a valuable advisor for the welfare of the river and helps monitor wildlife and water quality.

Carolyn Watkins. Watkins has been an exceptional advocate for environmental and conservationfocused education for more than 30 years. As chief of the Office of Environmental Education at the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency since 1998, Watkins has played a pivotal role in securing millions of dollars in grants for conservation efforts and has personally taught various curricula to thousands of students and educators. Along with her contribution to Project WET, Project WILD and many other nature-based learning programs, she’s worked alongside ODNR as a facilitator for Project Learning Tree, the Division of Forestry’s environmental education standard. Watkins is also the recipient of the Division of Forestry’s John Hug Award for outstanding leadership in environmental education, the Environmental Education Council’s Lifetime Achievement Award for environmental education in Ohio, and many other awards.

CARDINAL AWARD

Dave Apsley. Apsley founded A DAY IN THE WOODS, a program designed to educate and promote good stewardship and active management for all forestland in Ohio. Twice a month from May through November, he can be found teaching private woodland owners everything from identifying trees to understanding local wildlife. A DAY IN THE WOODS celebrated its 100th educational event at Vinton

years, representing 13 counties in east central Ohio. Her job focused on helping elected officials, staff, and volunteers better understand the importance of trees in their communities. Lewis hosted annual urban forestry conferences, pruning workshops and led tree commission meetings. She also took the lead when the emerald ash borer was first found in Ohio. Lewis was a member of the Ohio Urban Forest Strike Team, designed to work with FEMA and assist communities after a storm event. After retirement, Lewis now advises the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation’s TreeCorp program, helping plant and maintain healthy trees in the city of Youngstown. She was recently recognized as a True Professional Arborist by the International Society of Arboriculture.

Furnace State Forest in June. Currently a natural resources specialist at Ohio State University Extension, Apsley has been an advocate and educator for forest management in Ohio for over 20 years. Apsley also serves as the Outreach Coordinator for the Collaborative Oak Management Initiative and helped develop Call Before You Cut Ohio, a public program that connects landowners with resources and professionals to manage their woodlands.

Kristen Beck. Beck has been rehabilitating our native wildlife since the early 1980s. In 2013, she established North Canton’s Clover Field Wildlife Center. Beck operates this center herself and does not have any staff to assist her. She has been instrumental in conservation efforts around the state by rehabilitating species of concern such as the gray fox and four different species of bats. In 2022, her donation-based rehab center admitted almost 900 injured, orphaned or ill animals. Beck has been an outstanding member of the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitator Association board for 13 years and a critical component in educating thousands of Ohioans about wildlife and mitigating humanwildlife conflicts to help protect our natural resources.

Burr Oak Alive! More than a decade ago, Burr Oak Lodge & Conference Center was slated to be demolished and Burr Oak Alive! was founded by locals determined to save it. They rallied enough support to encourage ODNR leadership to shift gears and route the funds intended for demolition to renovation, instead. The friends group for Burr Oak is an invaluable asset to the visitor experience at the park, proven by the incredible work they’ve continued to do ever since the lodge was saved. Just a couple of weeks ago, Burr Oak Alive! and ODNR cut the ribbon on the Lodge to Lake Trail, a concrete trail behind the lodge. From assisting with naturalist programs, sponsoring events such as the Halloween Spooktacular and Boat Flotilla, organizing tree plantings, and manning aide and water stations during long trail hikes and runs, this organization does it all.

Lola Lewis. Lewis was part of ODNR’s Division of Forestry’s Regional Urban Foresters team for 28

Brenda Metcalf. Metcalf has served as the executive director of the Environmental Education Council of Ohio for the past 20 years. She developed quality relationships with the Ohio EPA through their Partnership Grant that supports the Environmental Careers Program. Her partnerships with the Ohio Department of Education helped foster the Ohio Environmental Literacy Plan in 2012 — one of the first in the country. Metcalf also fostered a long-term positive relationship with ODNR through her constant support of Project WILD, Project Learning Tree and other initiatives. She has a long partnership with the Ohio Division of Wildlife through a grant to support high school research on wildlife and their habitats, support of the Ohio Student Wildlife Research Symposium, through the EECO regional director networks that regularly host Project WILD workshops, and the promotion of our resources and materials through her outreach efforts into classrooms and conference displays.

Preservation Parks of Delaware County. Preservation Parks of Delaware County has pursued a program of vigorously acquiring lands to expand park space in Ohio’s fastestgrowing county, and they are committed to the protection of natural habitats, conservation of natural resources, restoration of native landscapes, watershed protection and helping residents connect with the landscape and its natural history. The park system hosts daily seasonal programming for all ages, maintaining 11 local parks and a section of the 326-mile Ohio to Erie Trail. For several years, the Ohio Geological Survey has collaborated with Preservation Parks in the expansion of Shale Hollow Park, ensuring that its significant geological features are preserved and explained to the public. With Preservation Parks’ cooperation, Geological Survey has produced field guides and other educational materials that help in ODNR’s mission.

State Sen. Tim Schaffer. Schaffer, a three-term Ohio senator currently serving Fairfield, Licking and parts of Perry County, has a notable track record of involvement in issues related to natural resources, conservation and agriculture. He serves as chairman of the Senate’s standing committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources. During this recently passed Biennial Operating Budget, Schaffer was a champion for securing critical funding for the Department of Natural Resources. With his leadership, he was able to successfully restored $37 million to the department’s operating budget. He also played a crucial role during the work to repair the Buckeye Lake Dam. While serving in the Ohio House, Schaffer acted as a key liaison to address the needs of his constituents while also relaying the facts of the project to the people of his district.

ODNR officials inducted seven people into the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame and awarded seven others with ODNR’s Cardinal Award during a ceremony July 26 at the Ohio State Fair. (Submitted photo)

Kirby Day celebrates inventor

RICHFIELD, Ohio — Join the Friends of Richfield Heritage Preserve in celebrating Kirby Day from 12-4 p.m. Aug. 26 at the park.

This free, family-friendly event — held rain or shine — will be at the south end of RHP, with parking at the 3771 Oviatt Road entrance.

Take an “adventure quest” featuring kids’ crafts, games, ice block sledding, marbles and other STEM-related activities. Some of the park’s historic structures will also be open to tour that day. Refreshments will be offered for a donation, and Friends’ merchandise will be available for purchase.

Jim Kirby. Richfield Heritage Preserve, now a 336-acre public park, was once home to well-known inventor Jim Kirby — whose inventions helped improve the lives of women by eliminating some of housework’s drudgery. His multi-level Swiss chalet style home, unique Garfield Hall and the mill he constructed to produce hydroelectric power for his home and workshop still stand on the property.

Kirby was also an expert marbles player, and it is thought by some that this childhood game may have inspired his innovative design for the water wheel of his mill. The Friends are continuing to raise funds to complete the restoration of Kirby’s iconic mill, built in 1922. For further information and any event updates, visit friendsofrhp.org or call 330-6594750.

Here’s A Tip

NowBy Jo Anne Derson

• Use measuring cups when adding detergent to the washer. It avoids using too much, which can get costly. And it will avoid residual soap left in the fabric.

• If you use air-conditioning, use a programmable thermostat. You can set it to a higher temperature overnight, when it’s naturally cooler, and have it cool down the house right about the time you’ll get home, so there’s no wasted energy cooling a house with no one in it.

• When putting woody-stem flowers, such as roses, in a vase, cut the stem diagonally and whack with a small mallet. It will absorb water much better this way.

• Save small milk cartons and wash well. Fill with water and freeze. You can use these in your picnic basket for an easy cold pack to keep foods chilled.

• Too many suds in the sink? Try sprinkling them with salt. The foam will settle down quickly!

• Shower rings (the hooks that hold your shower curtain to the curtain bar) can be used for lots of things: I keep one in my sewing basket to hold safety pins. It’s terrific, and the pins are orderly and easy to find.

Mentor student wins STEM scholarship

ATLANTA — An Ohio student received a “distinguished scholarship” from Norfolk Southern Corporation’s Thoroughbred Scholars Program that awards scholarships to children of company employees.

Each year, the program provides 100 scholarships for up to $10,000 over four years, along with three additional scholarships for distinguished students who will receive

rewards of up to $40,000 over four years.

Madeleine Bender, of Mentor, Ohio, was named this year’s distinguished STEM Scholar. Bender is a graduate of Mentor High School, where she served as Science Olympiad captain and received a STEM honors diploma. She plans to attend Case Western Reserve University to study biomedical science and bio-

chemical engineering.

Bender is the daughter of Melinda Bender and Norfolk Southern engineer Thomas Bender, who has worked for the company for 18 years.

This year’s class of Thoroughbred Scholars includes 12 students from Ohio, 10 students from Pennsylvania and two students from West Virginia.

Without a doubt, we have a healthy white-tailed deer population. Deer provide a wonderful form of watchable wildlife. They also afford a bountiful hunting season.

Right now, bucks are busy growing their antlers. These will be their artillery against other stags during the autumn rut as they vie for does.

Antler growth is serious business a nd depends on a healthy animal and a good food supply year round. During this time, antlers are covered with tiny hairs resembling velvet that protect the growing bone and provide it with a healthy blood supply. When a buck is “in velvet,” its antlers are very vulnerable to injury.

Staghorn sumac. There is something else “in velvet” right now as well with an amazing resemblance to the current status of antler growth. Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina) is in full splendor. This deciduous shrub gets its name from the tiny hairs that

cover the young, forking branches and the resemblance to a stag’s antlers is amazing.

Native to eastern Canada and United States, staghorn sumac is a common plant because it is highly adaptable and tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Wider than it is tall and growing up to 25 feet in height, the shrub can easily thrive along roadsides, wooded edges and railroad embankments.

Its large, long compound leaves grow up to 24 inches in length and have many smaller oblong leaflets that are 2 to 5 inches in length. Yet, its key signature trait is the scarletcolored fruiting bodies that develop during the summer months.

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

My Grandson’s Loan

This year our grandson stays two weeks and time is flying fast. A nine-year-old can steal your heart. I wish the days would last.

We finished planting fence posts. It was time to head on in. We grabbed a stack of grandma’s cookies from the cookie bin.

My grandson chomped a cookie down before I took a bite. And then he asked a question he’d been trying hard to fight.

He took a chair right next to me. Said, “How about a loan?” I told him that my pocketbook was dang near skin and bone.

He prob’ly knew I had a little money tucked away. I save for those emergencies we call a rainy day.

I quizzed my grandson ‘bout the loan. “How much you got in mind?” He said, “I’d like five dollars, please. I’m kinda in a bind.”

As grandpas do, I told him, “I can float you extra cash. Let’s go find Grandma’s Bible. That is where I keep my stash.”

I slipped him five new dollar bills, plus five more Ones to boot. I told him I was cleaning out our Bible filled with loot.

My grandson’s smile was almost like he’d won the lottery, or maybe like my silly mug when eating bakery.

But then I told my grandson, “Back when I was nine years old. We didn’t have much money, but our life was rich as gold.

“Each morning we were up at five and out to milk the cows. And some of us were sleepyheads, not easy to arouse.

“We fed the horses, gathered eggs, then caught the bus to school. We always ate a breakfast. Even now it makes me drool.

“We never had allowance, but we had a horse to ride. And bullets for the .22 my father would provide.

“So, no one gave us money. We all learned to do without.” That’s when I said, “Oh by the way, what is this loan about?”

He said, “You’re needing brand new socks. Your toes are sticking through. That’s why I needed cash to get a pair of socks for you.”

I gazed down at my grandson. Now his purpose came to light. Said, “Let’s head on down to Merckle’s. We’ll have ice cream floats tonight.”

(Bryce Angell’s father was an outfitter and guide for 35 years, and Bryce was there to shoe and care for the horses and help him do the cooking. Bryce is from Idaho and still rides into the Tetons, Yellowstone and surrounding areas. His poems are mostly of personal experience. He can be reached at angellranch62@gmail.com.)

Beginning in May, terminal, coneshaped clusters of greenish-yellow flowers begin to bloom. Pollinated by honeybees and other insects, these structures eventually mature into compact clusters of round, hairy fruits known as drupes. Not all of the shrubs will produce fruit, as males and females occur on separate plants. The fruit, up to 8 inches in length, begins to ripen in June.

Beware poison sumac. Staghorn sumac should not be confused with the much-feared poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix). This plant is covered with a chemical called urushiol.

Simply touching poison sumac will cause a rash even nastier than that delivered by poison ivy, which carries the same resin. Luckily, poison sumac is less common, due to the fact that it only grows in wetland habitats and is hardly ever found in association with the staghorn sumac.

In addition to its affinity for moist areas, there are other definitive ways of telling the two species apart. Probably the most obvious difference is the berries. Poison sumac has clusters of waxy white berries that grow separately and hang down as opposed to the staghorn sumac berries which are red and fused together.

The compound leaves are also dif-

ferent. While the staghorn sumac has leaves that are serrated, poison sumac leaves have smooth edges. And finally, poison sumac lacks the hairy branches that give staghorn sumac its name. Rhus juice. Staghorn sumac has many attributes. It is high in vitamin C and rich in multiple antioxidant compounds. The shoots can be peeled and consumed raw. All parts of the plant except the roots can be used as a natural dye. Native Americans mixed the dried leaves and berries with their tobacco. Beekeepers often use the dried sumac fruit as a source of fuel for their smokers.

Some of my fondest childhood memories involve staghorn sumac.

Summers were always spent making and drinking sumac tea. My friend and I had an annual tradition of making “Rhus juice” (Rhus is the genus name for the plant).

When the sumac fruit was at its deepest red, we would gather 15-20 clusters and place them in a bucket. We used a potato masher to slightly crush the clusters and separate the individual berries. We then poured cold water over the entire mixture and allowed it to sit overnight.

The next day we were anxious to strain the concoction. Using cheesecloth helped ensure that none of the little hairs covering the berries made it into our drink. Once we had the finished liquid, we would add sugar to taste and pour it into a glass full of ice.

This sumac lemonade was the most refreshing treat on a hot day. It was a well-earned reward for all of our hard work. I still make Rhus juice today, as we have a beautiful patch of sumac on our farm. Rhus juice can also be used to make jelly.

Benefits to wildlife. Finally, staghorn sumac is an incredibly important food source for wildlife. The fruit, which persists on the plant throughout the winter and into the following spring, no doubt helps many birds and mammals survive.

When all other seed and berry sources have been depleted, it’s the sumac that is heavily utilized by wildlife. Eastern bluebirds, American robins, gray catbirds, black-capped chickadees, several species of woodpeckers, roughed grouse and wild

turkeys, to name a few, all relish the treat. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 300 species of songbirds consume the fruit.

Of course, the plant has much to gain from this. Each red cluster contains up to 700 drupes, each containing a seed. As birds consume these, they unknowingly fly off “depositing” the seeds to germinate in new locations as they go. Mammals rely on the sumac as well. White-tailed deer, rabbits and mice all browse on the foliage.

As summer winds down and autumn begins to take hold, the staghorn sumac puts on a show as its foliage transforms into brilliant shades of orange, yellow and red. As you gaze at the spectacle, a movement catches your eye.

A white-tailed deer moves slowly among the leaves, browsing as it goes. But there is no confusing it with the plant now. Its mature antlers, having lost their velvet covering, are smooth and shiny in the sunshine, bearing little resemblance to the persistent velvety stems of the plant that bears its name.

Tips for boating in heat

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — As the country bakes under record-high temperatures this summer, boaters often head to the water for respite. However, some may be unprepared for what it takes to withstand a highheat day. Here are five tips from the nonprofit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water that can help ensure everyone’s safety as temperatures climb.

WORDS

1. Create shade. Direct sunlight can make the air feel 10-15 degrees warmer. Reduce the time you spend in it. If you don’t have a cabin or bimini top that offers sun protection, wide-brimmed hats, loose fitting, moisture-wicking clothing (try a UPF-rated long sleeve shirt) or fishing neck gaiters are next best. Of course, reef-friendly sunblock is a must for burn prevention.

2. Keep extra water aboard. Crew and guests may want consume water like out of a firehose on super hot days. Keep a supply of bottled water in a locker or dry bilge area next to the hull, below the waterline. The water will stay cooler than the air temperature, and it makes it easy to share — or restock your cooler.

3. Know how to stay cool, safely. Of course, boaters can take advantage of the best way to stay cool: jump in. Just don’t jump off a moving vessel. Find a safe, out-theway anchorage, drop the hook and enjoy.

4. Know the signs of heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs when the body is unable to cool down. It can happen either gradually or suddenly. Telltale signs are heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, fainting, skin hot to the touch, nausea or vomiting. Infants and children are especially susceptible. Immediately moving the victim to a cooler environment and providing lots of fluids can help buy time for a heatstroke victim until you reach first responders.

5. Have a way to communicate. If you have an unexpected breakdown or another issue, this is not the time of year to be stuck out on the water. Not only is the temperature a significant stressor, but atmospheric conditions, especially in the afternoon hours, can bring sudden and powerful storms. Ensure your VHF is operational, and bring your cellphone, keeping it dry and charged.

New species of ramp found in Pennsylvania

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The presence of a new species of ramp, Allium burdickii — commonly known as narrow-leaved wild leek — has been documented in southwest Pennsylvania by a team of Penn State researchers in a new study. This plant species never before has been documented in the state, and the researchers suggest the discovery shows a need to protect the remaining populations of the plant.

The more common and wellknown broader-leafed ramp species, Allium tricoccum, is widespread in the state and often collected. Eaten for thousands of years by Native Americans, ramps are valued for their strong garliclike aroma and onion-like flavor. More recently, they have become popular among foodies and restaurant chefs, leading to increased demand by urban consumers.

Boston Mill Visitor Center pedestrian bridge opened

BRECKSVILLE, Ohio — Cuyahoga Valley National Park celebrated the opening of a brand-new 200-foot bridge across the Cuyahoga River near the Boston Mill Visitor Center. Park visitors will now be able to safely cross the river between the Towpath Trail and Boston Store and the visitor center.

Since the bridge is for both pedestrians and bicycles in a typically congested area, cyclists are required to walk bikes across the bridge and in the visitor center courtyard.

Summit County Engineer Alan Brubaker; Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro; Peninsula Mayor Dan

Scheider; and Boston Township Trustee Amy Anderson joined CVNP Superintendent Lisa Petit in celebrating the opening of the bridge July 27.

The $1.4 million bridge was primarily funded through Summit County Engineer’s partnership with the Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study. The park secured matching funding through the Federal Highways Alternative Transportation Program.

River access near the bridge will remain closed while the park makes some improvements for boat drop-off and pickup.

Illegal ginseng trafficking operation spanned seven states

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife recently concluded a two-year-long investigation into illegally harvested and dealt ginseng.

The investigation, which ran from 2018 to 2020, spanned 21 Ohio counties and resulted in 110 defendants being charged with a combined 259 violations. Charges included the illegal harvest of ginseng, falsification or failure to keep ginseng records, illegal purchase of ginseng and harvest of ginseng without permission. During the investigation, seven individuals were also charged for the manufacture, possession or sale of illicit drugs.

The operation, conducted in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, involved the illegal trafficking of ginseng in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Kentucky and Indiana.

The investigation targeted licensed ginseng dealers, unlicensed ginseng dealers and out-of-season diggers, according to an ODNR

press release. Defendants in the case combined to pay $76,178 in fines and $21,633 in court costs, with an additional $20,872 in cash being forfeited. Courts ordered a total of 7,986 days of jail time; 2,068 days were served and the rest was suspended. Additional penalties include probation, community service, home confinement, suspension of ginseng dealer permits and suspension of digging ginseng.

In April, the Division of Wildlife sold ginseng forfeited during this operation and other cases in an auction that raised $51,542 for the state’s Wildlife Diversity Fund, which supports projects for species of greatest conservation need.

Ginseng harvest. American ginseng is a slow-growing perennial herb that is found throughout Ohio in small, scattered populations. It is highly valued for its medicinal properties. Ohio is one of 19 states with a ginseng management program, which allows for the legal export of ginseng. The program allows the state to maintain a sustainable yield

of ginseng, so harvesting of the plant is not detrimental to the survival of the species. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Division of Wildlife guide ginseng harvest and trade regulations in Ohio.

A ginseng dealer permit issued by the Division of Wildlife is required to buy ginseng for resale or export, and ginseng must be certified by the Division of Wildlife before it is exported from Ohio. Ohio wildlife officers and investigators have statewide authority to enforce the state’s ginseng harvest and sale laws.

In Ohio, ginseng can only be harvested between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, annually. Harvest is limited to mature ginseng plants (at least three leaves) and regulations stipulate that harvesters are required to plant the seeds of collected plants where they were found. Ginseng diggers must have written permission to collect ginseng on private and public lands.

Penn State hosts walleye pollock webinar

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Extension will host a virtual webinar to discuss walleye pollock and the importance of pollock fisheries Aug. 30 from 12-1 p.m. as part of its monthly Water Cooler Talk Series.

Alaska walleye pollock is the second-largest fishery in the world. The speaker for this event recently sailed on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ship Oscar Dyson in the Gulf of Alaska and will share the importance of pollock fisheries and how science is conducted at sea.

This event is being offered at no charge to participants. Penn State Extension will provide a certificate of attendance for professional development documentation to anyone who attends and is interested in receiving it.

Registration is required to receive the link to access the webinar. For more information and to register, visit web.cvent.com/event/2ad11271-c01c-4f28-a87fcc454cdd41d1/summary.

as a master’s degree student, studied four populations each of Allium tricoccum and Allium burdickii in southwestern Pennsylvania, and compared and contrasted the habitats where they were found.

She documented the soil fertility and moisture and site characteristics, such as topography, associated with sites where each species of ramp grew. Also, she recorded the presence of other plants growing with the ramps.

Origins. Allium burdickii likely has been in Pennsylvania a long time, said team leader Eric Burkhart, associate teaching professor in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. His research group in the College of Agricultural Sciences has been studying the distribution and abundance of forest herbs such as ramps, goldenseal and ginseng for nearly two decades.

Because Allium burdickii has thinner leaves, grows in slighter dryer locations and flowers earlier than Allium tricoccum, scientists and perhaps most collectors just missed it, Burkhart said.

“From a conservation standpoint, because we’re finding A. burdickii in urban areas around Pittsburgh to date, the populations appear to be relatively small and localized — and they are vulnerable,” said Burkhart, who is director of the Appalachian Botany and Ethnobotany Program at the Penn State Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center. “Because of development in the region, and the high demand for ramps, we need to educate the public about the need to recognize and conserve them.”

Location. Researcher Cassie Stark, who spearheaded the study

In findings published July 26 in Natural Areas Journal, the researchers reported that Allium tricoccum is associated with northfacing slopes and higher soil moisture content throughout the growing season, whereas Allium burdickii was found on a variety of facing slopes. Soil pH and nutrient content were greater at Allium burdickii sites than Allium tricoccum sites, suggesting the former may rely more heavily on nutrients such as calcium.

The most common overstory tree associated with both ramp species was sugar maple, but understory flora differed. Wet-soilpreferring species, including blue cohosh and wood nettle, were associated with Allium tricoccum, whereas dry-soil species — including mayapple and false Solomon’s seal — were associated with Allium burdickii.

The researchers also think Allium burdickii tastes and smells a bit different than Allium tricoccum, Burkhart said, and research underway will focus on comparing the chemistry profiles of the two ramp species. A graduate student is working in the laboratory of Penn State food science researchers to study the difference.

Sarah Nilson, assistant professor of biology at Penn State Beaver, located the first verified population of Allium burdickiiin the state and is a co-author on the paper. This research was supported by a Wild Resource Conservation Program grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

West Virginia to name new state park

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia could soon be getting its first new state park in more than 30 years. Gov. Jim Justice announced Aug. 6 that he was sending a bill to the West Virginia Legislature to designate Summersville Lake State Park as the state’s 36th state park.

The 177-acre park in Nicholas County is on the northern shore of the state’s largest lake. The lake has been “a national and international destination known for its clear blue waters and unique rock formations since opening in 1966,” according to a state press release.

Once the bill is passed by the legislature and signed by Justice, new recreational opportunities at the park will be opened to the public.

Estimates show more than 1 million visitors enjoy watersports there each year, according to the state. The site is slated to be developed through a public-private partnership. Planned amenities include additional climbing and bouldering opportunities, hiking and biking trails, water activities, aerial sports, camping, cabins and more. The Division of Natural Resources will host a public meeting in the near future to receive input from the public.

This development comes on the heels of a historic investment in West Virginia’s state park system. State Parks are completing more than $150 million in improvements, which include upgrades at every state-operated lodge and every cabin across the state. Last year’s state park revenue was the fourth year of record-breaking revenue, showing growth both in in-state visitation and out-of-state visitation.

An event will be held in the near future to officially designate the park and open it to the public.

Pennsylvania man bitten by bear during attack in his garage

DANVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man says he’s paying a lot more attention to his surroundings after a surprise attack by a bear in the garage of his home.

John Swartz, 60, and his wife Lori, 59, were watching TV at their home outside Danville on the evening of July 27 when he remembered he had to turn off a hose he’d left running to fill an inflatable pool. So he walked into the two-car garage, where the shutoff valve was located — unaware that a bear had wandered in a minute earlier.

The next thing he knew, he said, he was thrown against shelving units, heard a growl and knew immediately it was a bear. When he turned to flee, the bear bit him on

the head. Holding his injured head, he stumbled back toward the house, but surveillance video later showed a second encounter with the animal.

“Thankfully, the bear didn’t retaliate when I tripped over him,” he told The (Sunbury) Daily Item.

His wife, hearing a scream, met him at the door and quickly called 911 as he tried to stop the bleeding. Looking out the window while waiting for the ambulance, he saw the 250-pound animal ambling by their RV.

At the hospital, doctors confirmed that his head injuries were superficial bite marks. His shirt, which had two large paw prints on the shoulders, was taken by a Pennsylvania Game Commission officer

for DNA testing. The game commission also set up a trap baited with doughnuts to try to catch the animal.

“It’s very understandable as to why it did what it did,” John Swartz told WOLF-TV. “I surprised it ... It had one way out and it was through me.”

Nowadays, however, he and his wife are much more careful around the home after dark.

“We look really well before we go outside now,” he said. “Especially if it’s around 8:30 or later, I’m cautious.”

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

BEWARE OF POTENTIAL BUYING SCAMS

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

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

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

REMEMBER 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.
