With a little help from my friends

By Rachel Wagoner rachel@farmanddairy.com

This was supposed to be Griffin Demshar’s last year showing an animal at the Lake County Fair, and he was finishing out his 4-H career on top.

The goat he raised for the carcass category of the junior fair took grand champion. But he wasn’t in Lake County on July 29 for the junior fair livestock sale. He wasn’t even in Ohio.

Griffin, who was also named the fair’s 2023 Outstanding Youth, was at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. He left on July 11 for basic training.

“Ladies and gentlemen, he couldn’t be here

tonight, but we’re going to sell his goat,” the auctioneer said, as he introduced the lot.

In his stead, his older sister, Anya, and a dozen or so of fellow 4-H’ers stood on the sales block. Griffin Demshar’s grand champion carcass goat sold for $120/pound to Polaris Engineering, bringing in a total of $4,080.

“Everyone was missing him,” Anya Demshar said. “We’ve been sending him letters.”

Competitive spirit. This was Griffin Demshar’s 10th year of being in 4-H. His dad, Todd Demshar, said he started the program as soon as he could in third grade. The first year he

Ohioans reject Issue 1

By Farm and Dairy Staff editorial@farmanddairy.com

Issue 1, a ballot initiative that would have made it more challenging for Ohioans to amend the state’s constitution, failed to pass the Aug. 8 special election, with about 57% of voters casting ballots against it.

Supporters of the bill in the farming and agribusiness worlds said it would have helped keep Ohio a more stable business environment, protected agriculture from special interest groups and allowed rural communities to be more involved in policymaking. Those opposing the measure called it undemocratic and said it would make it extremely difficult for citizens to even bring constitutional issues to the ballot.

raised a market lamb. The next year he added rabbits. Later he did goats and steers, as well as dairy calves. Last year Griffin’s market lamb was named grand champion.

Anya Demshar, who is 2 years older than her brother, said they’ve always been competitive in the show ring, but helped each other out in the barn taking care of their animals before school. There may have been some friendly smack-talking, though, as they worked their animals in the afternoons.

Four western Pa. farms named Century Farms

PINE GROVE FURNACE, Pa. — Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding recently honored two Pennsylvania families who have kept their farms in the family for at least 200 years.

The Donald and Donna Kerchner family, of Lenhartsville, Berks County, and the Richard Thomas family, of Troy, Bradford County, had their farms named Bicentennial Farms during a ceremony Aug. 10 at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days.

Redding also honored nine families who achieved Century Farm status for keeping

their farms in the same family for 100 years. Families from Armstrong, Berks, Bradford, Butler, Centre, Columbia, Jefferson, Perry, Somerset and York counties were honored with the designation.

Since the Century Farm program’s inception in 1977 and 2004 when the Bicentennial Farm program began, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has recognized more than 2,300 farms. Farms receive a sign to post on their property noting the achievement. To qualify, a family member must live on the farm on a permanent basis. The farm must consist

of at least 10 acres of the original parcel or gross more than $1,000 annually from the sale of farm products.

Following are the Century and Bicentennial Farms named this year:

Armstrong County

Roger and Sandy Kromer Farm, Kittanning.

The Kromer Farm is a Black Angus beef farm, handed down from Sandy Kromer’s grandparents, who bought it in 1923.

The measure’s failure to pass means that passing constitutional amendments will continue to take only a simple majority, rather than a 60% supermajority, as Issue 1 proposed. It also means people aiming to bring an issue to the ballot only need to get signatures from 44 counties, rather than all 88 of Ohio’s counties.

Response. In an emailed statement to Farm and Dairy, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation executive vice president Adam Sharp said that though Issue 1 did not pass, the group will continue to work with farmers, legislators and the public to protect Ohio agriculture from outside interests.

The Ohio Farm Bureau is one of numerous agriculture and farming groups that supported Issue 1 as part of the Vote Yes Ohio campaign.

“Ohio Farm Bureau has clear policy, written by our members, that supported the two elements of this ballot measure – increasing the threshold required for ballot measures to pass and requiring signatures from all 88 counties for measures to be placed on the ballot,” he said.

Judge sides with activists in climate trial

By Amy Beth Hanson and Matthew Brown Associated Press

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana judge sided with young environmental activists who said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by permitting fossil

fuel development without considering its effect on the climate.

The ruling following a first-of-itskind trial in the U.S. adds to a small number of legal decisions around the world that have established a government duty to protect citizens from climate change.

District Court Judge Kathy Seeley found the policy the state uses

in evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits — which does not allow agencies to evaluate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions — is unconstitutional.

Judge Seeley wrote in the ruling that “Montana’s emissions and climate change have been proven to be a substantial factor in causing climate impacts to Montana’s en-

vironment and harm and injury” to the youth.

However, it’s up to the state Legislature to determine how to bring the policy into compliance. That leaves slim chances for immediate change in a fossil fuel-friendly state where Republicans dominate the statehouse.

Reaction. Julia Olson, an attorney representing the youth, released a statement calling the ruling a “huge win for Montana, for youth, for democracy, and for our climate.”

“As fires rage in the West, fueled by fossil fuel pollution, today’s ruling in Montana is a game-changer that marks a turning point in this generation’s efforts to save the planet from the devastating effects of human-caused climate chaos,” said Olson, the executive director of Our Children’s Trust, an Oregon environmental group that has filed similar lawsuits in every state since 2011.

Emily Flower, spokesperson for Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, decried the ruling as “absurd” and said the office planned to appeal. She criticized Seeley for allowing the plaintiffs to put on what Flower called a “taxpayer-funded publicity stunt.”

“Montanans can’t be blamed for changing the climate,” Flower said in an email. “Their same legal theory has been thrown out of federal court and courts in more than a dozen states. It should have been here as well, but they found an ideological judge who bent over backward to allow the case to move forward and earn herself a spot in their next documentary.”

Attorneys for the 16 plaintiffs, ranging in age from 5 to 22, presented evidence during the two-week trial in June that increasing carbon dioxide emissions are driving hotter temperatures, more drought and wildfires and decreased snowpack.

The plaintiffs said those changes were harming their mental and physical health, with wildfire smoke choking the air they breathe and drought drying out rivers that sustain agriculture, fish, wildlife and recreation.

Native Americans testifying for the plaintiffs said climate change affects their ceremonies and traditional food sources.

“I know that climate change is a global issue, but Montana needs to take responsibility for our part,” lead plaintiff Rikki Held, 22, testified during the trial. “You can’t just blow it off and do nothing about it.”

Impact. The state argued that even if Montana completely stopped producing C02, it would have no effect on a global scale because states and countries around the world contribute to the amount of C02 in the atmosphere. A remedy has to offer relief, the state said, or it’s not a remedy at all.

But Seeley said the state’s attorneys failed to give a compelling reason for why they were not evaluating greenhouse gas impacts. She rejected the notion that Montana’s greenhouse gas emissions are insignificant and noted that renewable power is “technically feasible and economically beneficial,” citing testimony from the trial indicating Montana could replace 80% of existing fossil fuel energy by 2030.

“Every additional ton of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions exacerbates plaintiffs’ injuries and risks locking in irreversible climate injuries,” she wrote.

State officials tried to derail the case and prevent it from going to trial through numerous motions to dismiss the lawsuit. Seeley rejected those attempts.

Since its founding, Our Children’s Trust has raised more than $20 million to press its lawsuits in state and federal court. No previous attempts reached trial.

Carbon dioxide, which is released when fossil fuels are burned, traps heat in the atmosphere and is largely responsible for the warming of the climate. This spring, carbon dioxide levels in the air reached the highest levels they’ve been in over 4 million years, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration said earlier this month.

Greenhouse gas emissions also reached a record high last year, according to the International Energy Agency. July was the hottest month on record globally and likely the warmest that human civilization has seen, according to scientists. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Ohio Department of Ag funds

conservation program

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced $5 million available in grants for a statewide conservation ditch program, through Gov. Mike DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative. Ohio county engineers and soil and water conservation districts are eligible to apply for funding to construct twostage and self-forming ditches.

The ODA’s Conservation Ditch program is an expansion of last year’s Two-Stage Ditch program that reserved $4 million for 11 ditch projects in northwest Ohio. More than 16,500 acres of watershed will

benefit from the 8 miles of conservation ditch projects, which will be completed by the end of 2024. Projects approved in this year’s sign-up will have until the end of 2025 to be completed.

Conservation ditches provide environmental benefits and improve water quality by slowing water flow, processing nutrients and removing sediment.

Applications must be submitted by Oct. 31, via email to Justin.McBride@agri.ohio.gov. For more information on the H2Ohio initiative, visit h2.ohio.gov.

When asked to describe war, Union General William T. Sherman noted that “War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.”

Later, in a speech, Sherman did refine his easily forgettable dictum to the much shorter, impossible-toforget: “War is hell.”

Others thought war to be “… politics by other means,” (Clausewitz) or “… a wanton waste of projectiles,” (Twain.)

Costly. However you describe it, war is expensive. World War II, in 2020 dollars, cost $4 trillion and devoured 40% of U.S. GDP in 1945. To date, estimates of the total U.S. military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine since its Feb. 2022 invasion by Russia range from $75-110 billion.

It’s extremely profitable, too. In 2023, Brown University estimated that the almost generation-long war in Afghanistan cost U.S. taxpayers $14 trillion, “with one-third to onehalf of that total going to military contractors.”

Shooting wars aren’t the only type of warfare that’s costly, deadly, and often without a winner. In Jan. 2022, the International Monetary Fund estimated the total cost of the

90 years ago this week. Eradication of Bang’s disease from dairy herds in Ohio under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture has been completed in 113 herds, while 175 more farms have passed one clean test and 284 more are testing.

50 years ago this week. A group of residents in Liverpool Township just north of East Liverpool have submitted petitions bearing 642 names with the Columbiana County Board of Elections seeking to ban the sale of alcoholic beverages in the township.

25 years ago this week. Fred and Donna White hosted the Northeaster Ohio Forestry Association’s annual picnic Aug. 16. The White’s historic home is dated 1819, and the farm currently consists of 93 acres of which 30 acres are wooded.

COVID-19 pandemic would be at least $12.5 trillion.

The human side of that coin is just as large. On Aug. 2, the United Nations World Health Organization estimated total COVID-19 deaths worldwide now stand at 7 million.

Food insecurity. COVID has other, less visible victims. In 2021 alone, the UN calculated the pandemic more than doubled the number of “people experiencing acute food insecurity” around the world from 135 million to 345 million.

Then, with global food aid programs already reeling under COVID, the Russian invasion of Ukraine struck another blow. U.S.wheat futures prices rocketed nearly 50% higher, from $7.50 per bu. to $11 per bu., as shipping and boycott threats ricocheted through global markets.

But even after the invasion-shaken markets settled into a less volatile, more predictable pattern, the number of food-threatened nations remained high and access to supplies continued to be threatened.

Rich get richer. However, throughout the pandemic and Russian-Ukrainian war, one area of the global food system remained — and remains — well-fed and fat.

According to a Greenpeace International Feb. 2023 report, “The world’s biggest agribusiness corporations made more in billion-dollar profits since 2020 than the amount that the UN estimates could cover the basic needs of the world’s most vulnerable …”

That math, Greenpeace explains, shows that “The 20 corporations — the biggest in the sectors of grain, fertilizer, meat and dairy — delivered $53.5 billion to shareholders in the financial years 2020 and 2021, while the UN estimates a smaller figure, $51.5 billion, would be enough to provide food, shelter and lifesaving support for the world’s 230 million most vulnerable people.”

Recent financial reports from three of the biggest of the bigs — Cargill, Bunge and Archer-DanielsMidland — show the trend not only continues, but it’s getting even more profitable.

For example, on Aug. 3, Reuters reported, “Global commodities trader Cargill Inc. reported … its fiscal year 2023 revenue increased 7% from a year earlier to $177 billion, the highest ever for the 158-year-old company.”

Since Cargill is a privately-held company, it doesn’t share all its financial data such as quarterly or annual profit. Competitors like ADM and Bunge, however, are publicly held so they must post their financial results. “Both,” says Reuters, have “reported solid earnings …” and have “raised their profit outlooks for 2023.”

The key reason for the increased profits is as old as war itself: “Global supply disruptions, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine … have generated increased profit margins for grain merchants” and, no surprise, “concurrently opened up opportunities for firms like Cargill to step in … ” explained BNN, an online global news service, Aug. 3.

Equally unsurprising, prices for ag imports and services have also soared during COVID/Ukrainian war years. According to a Nov. 2022 report by the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy, the world’s 20 most industrialized nations “paid almost twice as much for key fertilizer imports in 2021 compared to 2020 and (were) on course to spend three times as much in 2022 …”

So, yes, war is a cruel, unrefined hell where everyone, even the winners, are losers.

Enjoy each fleeting summer moment

came to a close?

We have to skip some rocks! And it would be a great day to catch some fish. That means some of us need to dig for worms. “I know just the place!” one of my siblings would shout.

The rush was on to somehow do it all, at least one more time, before the bright yellow bus screeched to a halt in front of our house, and school bells began to ring once again.

“Let July be July. Let August be August. And let yourself just be, even in the uncertainty. You don’t have to fix everything. You don’t have to solve everything. And you can still find peace and grow in the wild of changing things.”

— Morgan Harper Nichols

I was so surprised to learn that many kids are heading back to school this week when August is just in mid-bloom.

Last week, there were mornings that carried just a wee bit of the chill of an early fall. And it seems that no matter how old I become, I still hate to see summer’s freedom end for all of the children who are heading back to school. Making it count. Remember that frantic, frenetic feeling of packing in every single thrill as summer

“Grab the walkie-talkies,” someone would say, because Dad had reminded us that he would need us if third crop hay dried enough for baling. Someone had to be appointed as the person to run one of those to Dad, in order to stay in touch with the hay report.

If we weren’t going to be near the house where he could easily find us, it was our responsibility to check in with Dad from time to time. If we were needed right away, the message could be relayed by that miraculous invention, the good old walkie-talkie.

If the weather was good and hot, there was no doubt we would be taking a dip in the farm pond. If it was a rare cool day, we might retreat to the hay mow and devise any number of games to be played there. It always involved rearranging the hay bales to suit our game.

Why was it that moving those particular bales around didn’t seem like work?

Shopping trip. For my older sisters, a shopping trip might be neces-

sary before the first day of school. As the fourth daughter, I relied on those great hand-me-downs, which I accepted without complaint.

In fact, when my sisters revealed a new school dress at the end of their day of shopping, I would grin to myself, knowing that pretty thing was going to be in my closet in just a matter of time.

I would find myself hoping like crazy that I didn’t have to be dragged along for school shopping and endure the horrid task of trying on clothes. I always hoped for enough hand-me-downs from the year before so I could skip that agony. There was still way too much to do.

One summer, one of the rental houses on our parents’ farm was empty, so we became detectives trying to solve a crime.

We invented official-sounding names for ourselves, devised a madeup method for taking fingerprints, and scoured the outside property for footprints. I was Detective Marjorie McGillicutty, the first woman officer ever assigned to such a difficult case.

Of course, we solved the crime before milking time, and we darn near burned up those walkie-talkies in the process.

The calendar seemed to be playing a cruel trick on us, those last days of freedom flying way too fast.

To this day, when someone says “Summer’s almost over,” I find myself looking at the calendar and wanting to shout, “It’s still August!” Enjoy every minute.

Keep your pastures productive amid volatile weather conditions

By Sandra D. Trushel

Late summer can be challenging for those who are raising a few animals on 5 to 10 acres or sometimes less. Continuously changing weather conditions can make pasture management even harder.

During the end of June and part of July in eastern Ohio, we experienced drought conditions. Following the drought, fluctuations in storm events have been scattered, one part of the county may get four inches of rain and the rest get none.

In these types of weather events, good pasture management practices are important whether you have 5 acres or 100 acres of pasture. Small acreage livestock production could be a mixture of cows, sheep, goats, swine, poultry and even a horse or two.

These animals in different combinations and numbers can cause overgrazing and soil damage in drought conditions if they are not adequately managed to prevent it. To keep our small acreage healthy and productive we must adopt some management practices.

Soil testing. First, if you haven’t had your pastures soil tested before, fall is a great time to get it done. We recommend that you have your soil tested every three years. Proper fertilization of your pastures is very important to maintaining high-quality forage for your animals.

Knowing your soil pH and nutrients, N-P-K, will help you determine if your pastures need fertilizer or lime. The soil test will also help you save money by enabling you to purchase the exact amount of nutrients your pastures need.

Remember, nitrogen is a critical nutrient for forage quality and growth. Phosphorus helps improve forage quality and root development, while potassium improves the plant’s ability to survive during periods of drought and freezing winter temperatures and conditions.

Mowing. Mowing your pastures is another way to keep them pro-

ductive this time of year. Mowing can help maintain high-quality and productive forage vegetation. It can also limit the growth of weeds by removing some weed species and seeds from others.

Mowing at the right height is important to maintaining the health and survival of pasture grasses. When mowing, maintain a height of 2 to 3 inches for fine-bladed short grass species such as perennial ryegrass and bluegrass. Mow at a higher level of 3 to 5 inches for higher-yielding species, such as orchard grass or timothy.

Rest and rotation. Don’t forget that sometimes pastures need to be allowed a rest, especially on small acreage farms. Rotational grazing systems improve your pastures productivity by allowing forages to restore their energy reserves so that they can continue to grow and produce.

Pasture rotation in drought situations is essential to good pasture productivity. As a good rule of thumb, turn animals into pasture when the grass is 7 to 10 inches tall or taller and allow them to graze until it is down to 3 to 4 inches before moving them to the next pasture.

During drought conditions on limited acreage, we need to plan for an Animal Concentration Area. This is because our pastures are drying up and not producing enough forage for our animals to eat.

ACA’s are also areas that are known as sacrifice lots, barnyards, dry lots or heavy-use pads. These areas are used to confine the animals with access to hay and water, while we allow the pastures to rest and hopefully start regrowing once the drought is over.

Sometimes the drought can be extremely hard on our pasture grass species so we may have to do a pasture renovation to improve the stand density and introduce new grass species into our pastures.

Late summer/early fall is the ideal time of year for reseeding pastures. Spring is another time that pastures

All About Grazing

can be reseeded, but new seedlings have to compete with drought and higher weed competition during hot, dry summer conditions. Early fall plantings give the seedlings a better chance of becoming established.

Manure can be another issue when it comes to small farm pastures. Dragging your pasture a couple of times a summer — a good practice is to do it each time after you mow — will help distribute and break up those manure piles. Summary. If you want to boost your small farm pasture productivity, follow these simple suggestions:

• Use rotational grazing, don’t overgraze or overstock your pastures.

• Every pasture needs to rest and regrow.

• Soil test every three years and fertilize and lime when needed.

• Use a sacrifice lot as needed especially during times of drought.

• Mow after each grazing rotation and control weeds.

• Drag your pastures a couple of times a year. Follow these simple suggestions and you will have productive pastures that both you and your animals will enjoy.

Crops firming up, excitement fading

By Marlin Clark

After the excitement of all the different weather markets and the influence of the Ukraine War on markets, prices are settling into a predictable and unexciting pattern. It is the middle of August now, and with soybeans a little ahead of normal in development, the last gasp of the weather market is coming to a close.

August, the most critical month for soybean production, has come with rain, and with little expectation of soybean stress. The result is predictable. Last week corn and soybeans traded in a sideways pattern that indicated that market movers were satisfied with prices where they were.

We are reaching an equilibrium between the demand for grain and the current prices. Corn remains at what any farmer would see as cheap prices. Soybeans have arguably been higher, but not as high as the last couple of years would have indicated, and not as high as producers had hoped. I suspect there were not many bushels priced yet, as hopes were for $14 and $15 soybeans, and those hopes are fading as fast as the pods are filling.

Soybeans. Soybeans predictably had the last gasp at high prices in late July. Large areas of the Midwest were still dry or getting just-in-time

rains. The critical August period was ahead. November soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade reached $14.35 on July 24. Now we know the stress is not going to happen in most areas. We are trading $1.50 lower than that, and there is no good reason to be higher. In fact, November futures are off seven cents in early trading this Tuesday morning as this is written, at 13.19. Yuck!

Last week soybeans traded in a fairly wide range, but for little gain. We were as low as $12.82 1/4 on Aug. 8 before we got as high as $13.38 on Aug. 11. That would feel like we gained, but, in fact, the close the Friday before was at $13.33 1/4, so we saw movement, but not much real gain in a week.

Similarly, corn futures traded in a sideways pattern, changing only a couple of net cents. If we look at the December futures close Aug. 4 compared to the close Aug. 11, we were actually down a dime, to $4.87-1/4. Most of the loss, nine cents, was on that Friday.

We will look back at this year and conclude that the markets followed the seasonality we should expect. That is, normally our highest corn prices come in late June or occasionally early July, on weather worries. In fact, our December corn futures high was June 21, at $6.29 3/4. We then had a horrible break to the $4.81 3/4 low on July 12.

Similarly, we normally have the soybean high also in late June, although we can blow that out of the water with August weather problems. This year we had rumors of problems, and then the problems seemed to go away. Now that we can look back, the high was July 24, at $14.35, in anticipation of August problems. As the rains came, we put in a low of 12.82 1/4 on Aug 8. It would seem the party is over.

The good news for soybeans is that we have bounced back 55 cents. The other good news is that you can probably stop worrying about your beans. Good crops are more important than good prices, which normally come with poor crops. It is ugly to think that we tend to hope for good crops in a year when other farmers get poor ones.

Wheat. Chicago wheat futures took significant losses also at the end of July. This came as the reality of a huge cookie wheat harvest was in. This was the year of the haves and the have-nots. The Eastern soft wheat crop was the best in my memory. The Great Plains hard wheat crop struggled to grow out of the dust in the fall and winter and then fought off harvest rains to get a poor crop in the bin.

The spring wheat from the Northern Plains is actually turning out a little better than expected, but is not a huge market factor, except that it helps counter the winter wheat disappointments of crop size.

It was exciting to see Chicago December wheat futures at $7.96 1/4 July 25. Unfortunately, that came mostly as a reaction to the Plains wheat problems. When we returned to trading our huge crop of soft red winter wheat, we have declined rap-

idly to our current (Aug. 15) price of $6.34 3/4, down almost seven cents for the day so far.

Review. A farmer call from Wooster yesterday reminds me that we need to pause to review what I will call Ag Econ 302. Specifically, I try to always make notice that I am talking in terms of Chicago futures prices. This is a universal reference point for everyone. Your local cash price will vary off that depending upon where you are and what the demand is for your grain. That difference between your local price and the futures price is what we call “basis.”

For example, if Centerra in Mansfield is bidding “-.58” November futures for harvest, that means they are “58 cents under” November futures. I spent a few decades of a previous life trading what we called “cross country” grain. That is, I bought it in one place, then transported and sold it in another.

The trick to that is to keep a mental map of where grain comes through and where it needs to go. For example, corn at elevators in Northwest Ohio tend to go on rail to the Southeast to feed mills processing it into chicken and hog feed.

If a farmer is close to delivery points at elevators on the Illinois River, the price there will be close to the futures prices, since the futures contracts are actually written based on delivery at specific points on the Illinois River. (They used to be based on delivery to Chicago.) This assumes that a major amount of grain goes to New Orleans for export. Prices of NOLA (northern Louisiana) grain thus tends to be the value on the Illinois River plus barge freight to New Orleans.

If you are in Eastern Ohio, markets

are dominated by the value of grain going to the ethanol plant in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Their price tends to be maxed out by the value of corn in Mansfield, plus rail freight. If they are getting enough farmer corn from eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, they will be paying significantly less than that rail replacement.

There is also a huge feed demand in Central Pennsylvania. for the chicken business, so their prices reflect the supply on Pennsylvania farms. In most years, the feed mills have to pay enough to get it from Ohio past the ethanol plant. If you are in Western Ohio, prices tend to be based on values at the ethanol plants in that region.

In the soybean business, we mostly have what we call “processor markets.” That is, the best value for soybeans is what they are worth at soybean processors in Bellevue or Fostoria, or other destination depending upon what you are close to.

In the past, soybeans were more export markets. That is, the best value was frequently what it was worth delivered to a river elevator in Toledo for shipment on water vessel to Rotterdam. Farmers near Ohio River ports of East Liverpool or Cincinnati are still using export markets.

All of these commercial market are basing their prices on the Chicago Board prices, with appropriate “basis” adjustments. Thus, in the grain business, for purposes of universal understanding we just refer to futures prices (Marlin Clark has been observing and trading cash and futures grain markets for over 50 years.

Finding that ‘good ol’ farm kid’

By Ryan McMichael

I am sure that it is not a mystery that the demand for workers looks to have no immediate end in sight and the source for new workers is few and far between.

Repeatedly, one of the concerning factors for our farms is the supply of labor to keep them operating. Our farm owners and operators are advancing in age, and when looking at who will perform the daily operations of the farm, it may feel like there is nowhere to turn.

The rough times of the late 90s and early 2000s led the older farming generation to encourage their children to seek jobs off the farm. The farm continued with finding an extra person here or there to assist with the daily operation, but many of our farms feel like they have three choices: robotics, outsource labor or get out completely.

Farm kids. Perhaps, you have wondered “Where are those good ol’ farm kids?” You know, the farm kid who would wake early before school to do their own farm chores, leave school to head to the neighbors to help with that farming operation before coming home to make sure the family farm chores were done in the evening; the farm kid who — on day one — you could say get on the 1040 and take it up the road without concern they would end up in the ditch or let alone know how to start the tractor.

Those farm kids still exist, but it is true they are becoming fewer

and fewer. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture NASS, our family farms have decreased by 4% from 2012 to 2017, the last year the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported the Census of Agriculture. Many individuals may speculate a similar decline when the new data is released from the 2022 Census of Agricultural.

An aging population is leading those farm families. For example, the average age of the principal farmer operator in Ohio was 57.7 in 2017 — an average age that has continued to rise over the past years of data. With both the shrinking number of farm families and the aging farmer population, it goes to reason that the population of “good ol’ farm kids” has shrunk as well.

Where to look. So, what is a farm to do when they need to seek out that new labor? I would say to continue to contact your local high school’s agricultural education program to see if the FFA advisor may have a lead on a non-farm kid looking for employment.

Taking time to connect with other families of your local agricultural organizations such as farm bureau, grange or dairy associations may also be a source of new workers. While you may find they are looking for labor just the same, there might be that farm family that has a couple of teenagers looking for work.

With any of these solutions, you will need to prepare to have to train those new employees more than you would have 30 years ago. Our

farms have developed and changed over time along with our equipment. Spending an extra day or two training those new employees during a slow mid-summer season, may be worth it compared to losing days during the peak of silage chopping because of an equipment breakdown caused by that untrained employee. There are no easy solutions to our labor concerns in the agricultural industry. As producers, you should take time to evaluate what is the best solution for your farm and long-term decision for investment.

If you need assistance in determining the factors to consider as you look to hire employees, make the investment in automation or plan a long-term management solution for the farm, our OSU Extension county office is happy to assist or put you in contact with our extensive team of farm management and livestock specialists.

While we may not have the name of that “good ol’ farm kid” for your next employee, we want to assist you however we can.

In a busy world, sometimes it’s nice to take things slow

follows us around the corral while we do chores.

Give and take. And now we are starting to halter break her, another first for me. While I stand by the gate, she nervously approaches the rope halter I hold in my left hand, coaxed close by the sweet feed I hold in the palm of my right.

Eliza Blue Little Pasture on the Prairie

I am on the road playing release shows for my new album, “The Grass Widow” this week. But exciting things are happening at home during my absence — a new colt is coming to live with us! Please enjoy a little missive from back before I had human children and was raising my first equine child …

Lady Jane is growing up so fast — just like all babies. Her red hair has thickened, and her chocolate-brown mane is growing out of its short, coltish bristles. Her legs are longer, and her knees not-so knobby.

She is my first colt, so I suppose I might be a bit biased, but I am pretty sure she is one of the greatest colts of all time. No, really! She is sweet and calm, with an equanimity beyond her half year.

Despite being raised by a mostly wild mare, Jane warmed up to us right away, eating hay and grain from our hands, letting us pet her fuzzy rump and scratch her shapely neck. She nickers when we approach and

A few rounds of this, and Jane steps back, snorts loudly and turns her back to me. She is thinking it over. A few minutes pass, and she decides the halter is harmless. She approaches me (and the grain) again without hesitation.

I put my hand through the loop of the halter. Now she has to put her nose right up to it to get the grain. A quick retreat, a snort, another pause, and then she is back, nose in the halter.

We proceed for a few more rounds until the halter is up over her head, though I can’t tie it onehanded, so it remains slung around her ears for a moment before it falls to the ground.

Tying it will have to be another day’s lesson. It’s been about half an hour, and Jane steps away and turns her back to me. She is ready to be done. I give the last handful of feed to Orville, the donkey, who has been waiting patiently off to the side.

He and his brother Wilbur, though their personalities are as placid as Jane’s, are not interested in befriending us humans yet. They don’t mind treats every once in a while though, and today is apparently one of those days. Orville munches the handful and steps back to the fence with Wilbur and Jane.

Taking it slow. The pace of all this suits me. Human animals have long

been hunters, but there is evidence to suggest that our earliest ancestors were primarily prey animals. The advent of weapons changed the game, but we evolved with our prey instincts still intact.

The result, according to nature writer Rob Dunn is, “a legacy of ancient fears.” Dunn writes of early humans: “When we saw or heard a sign of danger — a movement in the grass, a strange shadow — hormonal reactions screamed out inside our bodies … These fight-or-flight signals and associated jumpiness and anxiety are part of the problem in modern urban life, part of our discontent …”

Modern life — even in a rural place — can feel very fast, so I don’t mind that Jane and I are taking it slow, learning a little more about each other every day, building a bridge of trust one careful brick at a time.

I can send this article to the editor in an instant through the internet, but it still takes as long as it takes to halter break a colt. There is no rushing our relationship to the next level. Instead, there will be plenty of time spent waiting, watching the flock of pigeons clatter onto the tin of the barn, and then lift off again, dark against the blue sky; taking a small, slow step towards Jane, and then another, just as slow, away from her.

It’s time to stock your pond

By Kathleen Vrable-Bryan

Autumn is around the corner. Soon the lush green leaves will begin to turn colors, and golden rod will fill the fields. It is time to start thinking about stocking our ponds. Many soil and water conservation districts will be holding fall fish sales so that their residents can stock their ponds. Even in Ohio, as long as a pond is properly stocked and maintained, you can find some pretty decent fishing spots.

So, when is the best time to stock your pond? Some will say in the fall, as the fish can acclimate to the climate better. However, you can stock your ponds in the spring or in the fall — for recreational purposes, either is a pretty good time of the year.

Replenish your population. Whether your pond is new or old, populations need to be replenished to optimize your fishing experience. We encourage stocking your new or reconditioned ponds with the SWCDs fingerling fish such as largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegills. Not only are fingerlings less expensive, but they are also recommended as they do not lead to an unbalanced fish population.

For older ponds, we strongly encourage you to take stock of the fish species in your pond along with the size and age of your existing fish, as that will determine what species, amounts and size you should restock in your pond. In addition to the sport fish, you will want to stock or restock fish species which are “food sources” for your sport species.

When purchasing fish from your local SWCD, it is recommended that you bring water from your pond in a large plastic trash bag lining a tote. Once the fish are placed in the bags for transportation, the bags can then be filled with oxygen and sealed so that you can safely and carefully transport your new species back to your pond.

I know once you get those fish home, you are going to be anxious to begin the sport of fishing. However, you must keep in mind good pond management practices. Largemouth bass and bluegills should be allowed to remain in your pond for a period of at least three years so that they can grow and reproduce.

If you do decide to begin fishing before then, please practice the art of catch and release. Also, pond owners do not want to overharvest their ponds because that can result in several problems one being an unbalanced fish population.

Tracking. There are a variety of

ways a pond owner can track their fish population. You can keep a diary of what you catch and release and choose not to release. Angler diaries are a great way to assist with pond management, fish populations and the quality of fishing within their pond.

Seining is a low-cost way of determining a pond’s fish population. Utilizing a seine along the shoreline to catch newly hatched fish in late June or early July will give the pond owner an indication of their pond’s fish population and spawning status.

With this information, a pond owner will know what needs to be restocked to balance the species population. The absence of or low numbers of young largemouth bass or small bluegills in the seine will alert the pond owner that the fish population needs to be adjusted and restocking needs to take place.

Feeding and fertilization. While we hope and strive to have our ponds be self-sustaining, if we are harvesting fish, our ponds have to be able to reproduce them. Some pond owners may resort to artificial feeding. If a pond owner decides to use artificial feeding, they have to be willing to make a full commitment to continue feeding from spring when temperatures reach 60 degrees F until fall when the temperatures fall below 60 degrees F.

Fertilization can be performed as well. If fertilization is chosen, close water quality monitoring is required and fertilization should be on a strict schedule. However, most ponds in Ohio have enough nutrients from their surrounding watersheds. As we all know, excess nutrients can cause the growth of unwanted vegetation and result in poor water quality. The SWCD fish sales offer various fish species that help eliminate unwanted and/or excessive vegetation.

Healthy environment. One way to help promote a healthy environment for your fish is to apply pond conditioner one or two times a year. This conditioner will help promote a healthy ecosystem in your pond.

One of the best ways to promote the fish population is to provide habitat structures to your pond. Structures should be placed in relatively shallow areas where oxygen quality is best to provide cover, resting and feeding areas for younger hatchlings. Structures can be placed in deeper areas provided there is good circulation (aeration) so that dissolved oxygen levels are optimal.

Recycled Christmas trees make great natural habitats for our fish as do man-made structures such

as PVC pipe, concrete blocks and wooden pallets. Tree species that do not easily decay such as oak, hickory and cedar work well. Just remember to place them in an area where the anglers can easily cast their lines Hatcheries. The SWCDs work with the best fish hatcheries in Ohio. Here in Mahoning County and most of northeast Ohio, we work with Fender’s Fish Hatchery, a family fish farm that owns and operates over 200 acres of ponds within three counties. They provide 44 of Ohio’s 88 conservation district’s with healthy fish and a plethora of experience and information when it comes to stocking and maintaining ponds.

Steve Fender wrote the definitive book on pond management. The SWCDs also rely on the valuable information provided by our friends at Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

Personally, I have looked to ODNR’s Ohio Pond Management book for insight to help my local constituents with all of their pond needs. You can find the book at wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/portals/wildlife/ pdfs/publications/fish%20management/Pub432.pdf.

We hope to see you all at our fish sale this fall, Sept. 28 at the Canfield Fairgrounds. Contact the district for information related to our fish sale and pricing or your local SWCD.

Remember, fishing, and aquatic sports is great way to spend time with family and friends. And if you have caught too much, there is nothing wrong with a good fish fry — don’t forget to invite your friends at your local SWCD! In the meantime, your local SWCDs, are here for you and your pond needs.

Richland SWCD honors volunteer

MANSFIELD, Ohio — Richland Soil and Water Conservation District recently held a volunteer appreciation picnic at Malabar Farm to express gratitude to its volunteers.

In addition to the picnic, Richland SWCD recognized its volunteer of the year who provides exemplary support to the district — Leonard N. Fox, of Shelby, Ohio.

To recognize Fox’s dedication to the district, a black gum tree will be planted at 10 a.m. Aug. 24 at Seltzer Park in Shelby near the park’s gazebo. Fox will also be recognized at the annual celebration Sept. 7 at the Kehoe

Center located in Shelby. The public is welcome to attend both events.

Fox has been volunteering with Richland SWCD since 2016. He supports the district as a precipitation monitor, and he reports his findings on the Richland SWCD website, which helps others in the county make gardening, farming and conservation decisions. He also plants and collects milkweed seeds each year and donates them to the district in the fall as part of the county-wide milkweed seed pod collection.

In addition to volunteering with

Richland SWCD, Fox volunteers with the Richland Area Chamber of Commerce and is involved with the Knights of Columbus. Although he is a retired farmer, he still spends much of his time helping on the farm in the spring and fall. In his free time, he enjoys his favorite hobbies which are beekeeping, hunting and fishing. Leonard has two children and four grandchildren.

Charity steer show raises more than $172,000 for Ronald McDonald House

COLUMBUS — The Dean’s Charity Steer Show for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio raised $172,709 this year, surpassing its goal, Ohio State University announced Aug. 14.

Held Aug. 1 at the Ohio State Fair’s Voinovich Livestock & Trade Center, the show supported Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio.

The event is focused on youth who benefit from the Ronald McDonald House, as well as the 4-H youth who provide their expertise and steers for the event.

Located across the street from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the Columbus Ronald McDonald House is undergoing a major expansion, more than doubling the size of the facility. Once completed in November, it will be the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world.

The charity steer show included 10 teams comprised of a team captain and team champion paired with a 4-H member and their steer. Everyone donated their time to raise money and compete for bragging rights in front of a large crowd of supporters.

The 10 4-H youth and their families who participated in this year’s show represented the counties and Ohio 4-H youth development programs of Clinton, Darke, Defiance, Fairfield, Highland, Morrow, Portage, Seneca, Stark and Warren.

The show’s awards and awardees are as follows:

Best Steer: Team McSteering

All Together – with crossbred steer Mook and 4-H’er Taylor Barton, of Clinton County; and the McDonald’s team of Marshela McDaniel, Dan Aloi, Melissa James and Tara Vorst.

Showmanship Award: Team Burrow 4 the House – with steer Joe Burrow and 4-H’er Connor Youchum, of Highland County; and the NBC4 Columbus anchor team of Matt Barnes, Monica Day, McKenna King and Kristine Varkony.

Best Dressed: Team CosMOOpolitans – with steer Cosmo and 4-H’er Emily Scott, of Portage County; along with Tammy Roberts Myers, of RE/MAX Apex; Kimberly Flaherty, of Washington Prime Group; and Timothy Flaherty, of Post House Creative.

People’s Choice: Team THE Buckeye Mood – with market heifer Tree Trunks and 4-H’er Delaney Moore, of Fairfield County; along with Melissa Shivers, of Ohio State University; and journalist Tracy Townsend, of WBNS-10TV.

Grand Champion (lead fundraiser): Huntington Green Team – with steer Olson, 4-H’er Mason Powell, of Morrow County; along with Rich Porrello and Christina Brown, of Huntington National Bank; and Yolanda Harris, of 10TV.

Fundraising sale. Following the show, a “sale” was held following the same procedures as a typical livestock sale, but without the actual transfer of livestock.

Instead, all bids and sale proceeds were donated to RMHC of Central Ohio.

“Premiere Exhibitor” donors, who each donated $10,000 or more, include Huntington National Bank; Columbus Crew; the Telhio Credit Union; Ricart Automotive; Nationwide; and Cathann A. Kress, Ohio State CFAES. Money came from 312 donors with gifts ranging from $10 to $18,000.

Aid for distressed loan borrowers

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin providing additional, automatic financial assistance for qualifying guaranteed Farm Loan Programs borrowers who are facing financial risk. The announcement is part of the $3.1 billion to help certain distressed farm loan borrowers that was provided through Section 22006 of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Since the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law last August, USDA has provided approximately $1.15 billion in assistance to more than 20,000 distressed borrowers as a part of an ongoing effort to keep borrowers farming, remove obstacles that currently prevent many borrowers from returning to their land and improve the way that USDA approaches borrowing and loan servicing in the long-term.

The financial assistance announced Aug. 11 will provide qualifying distressed guaranteed loan borrowers with financial assistance similar to what was already provided to distressed direct loan borrowers. Based on current analysis, this new financial assistance will assist an estimated approximately 3,500 eligible borrowers.

For more information on the program qualifications, contact your local Farm Service Agency office.

Online course to cover sheep production

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An upcoming Penn State Extension online course will cover many aspects of sheep production and operation management, including evaluating and selecting sheep, setting up sheep facilities, keeping records, selecting feeds to meet sheep nutritional requirements, managing grazing, understanding and preventing health issues, and marketing sheep and their products.

Designed for anyone getting started in the sheep business and producers who want to improve their sheep operation, this course will open Aug. 29. Webinars will take place at 7 p.m. Sept. 18, Oct. 2, Oct. 16 and Oct. 30.

This online, instructor-led

course teaches participants the basics of sheep production through a combination of readings, educational videos, worksheets and webinars. Registrants will receive worksheets to help them analyze their own operations to improve performance and profitability. Learners will complete a worksheet for each section of the course and upload them for review prior to the webinars.

Instructors will review the worksheets and return comments and suggestions.

During the webinars, educators and learners will discuss worksheets and participate in roundtable discussions.

The webinars will be recorded

for participants to view after the event.

Participants will learn to: select the type of sheep to best meet their needs; feed sheep to meet their nutritional needs; understand the reproductive process and implement appropriate management strategies; identify the health needs and issues of sheep and utilize ways to correct health problems; fetermine effective ways to market their sheep and products; and handle financial issues related to sheep production. Knowledge check questions throughout the course will assist participants in reviewing the material. Each section will also offer participants the opportunity to consider how to implement all of

the acquired knowledge into their sheep operations.

Participants must complete a five-question quiz at the end of each section. To earn the certificate of completion, a minimum score of 80% is required for each quiz.

The course carries a $125 registration fee and takes approximately 25 hours to complete. More information is available at extension.psu. edu/sheep-management-and-production-instructor-guided.

USDA invests in school nutrition

WASHINGTON — As part of a cooperative agreement to develop and implement the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative, Action for Healthy Kids announced that it is awarding nearly $30 million in subgrants to 264 school districts across 44 states and the District of Columbia, reaching students in some of our nation’s highest need schools. These funds are being provided by USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service.

Each small and/or rural school district will receive up to $150,000 to support them in improving the nutritional quality of their meals and modernizing their operations, through efforts which could include: innovative staff training programs; kitchen updates and renovations; redesigning food preparation and service spaces; and other school-district led efforts to support school meals and school nutrition professionals.

“When we strengthen school meal quality, we strengthen child health,” said USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Stacy Dean. “These grants are the largest targeted investment USDA has ever made for school meal programs in small and rural communities. We want to ensure every child in America has the opportunity to attend a school with high quality, nutritious meals, and this support is a step in that direction.”

An online map features the selected school districts and their grant amounts. The map will be updated on a rolling basis as schools formalize their grant agreements. Current grant recipients in Ohio and Pennsylvania include the fol-

lowing schools:

• Bexley City School District, Bexley, Ohio, $13,725

• Bradford Exempted Village School District, Bradford, Ohio, $110,213

• Carrollton Exempted Village School District, $146,558

• Edison Local Schools District, Milan, Ohio, $146,190

• Evergreen Local School Distirct, Metamora, Ohio, $146,770

• Union City Area School District, Union, City, Pennsylvania $132,938 Open applications. USDA and Action for Healthy Kids also recently opened applications for the Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Awards, which celebrate school districts that have made significant improvements to the nutritional qual-

ity of their school meals. All school districts in the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the United States Virgin Islands are invited to apply. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis through June 30, 2025.

School districts that meet Recognition Award criteria will receive benefits such as national and local recognition; travel stipends to attend a national Healthy Meals Summit; access to diverse best practices, training activities; and more.

USDA’s Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative also includes the School Food System Transformation Challenge Grants, which aim to support innovation in the school meals market by increasing collaboration between schools, food producers and suppliers, and other partners. Applications for the Challenge Grants are expected to open in late 2023 or early 2024.

Lake County 4-H’ers sell goat for friend

Continued from Page A1

“We would always go head-tohead in showmanship,” she said. “Until my senior year, I beat him with lambs. My senior year, he beat me in lambs. I was so mad. I was happy for him because I told him he couldn’t do it. I was happy it was him that beat me.”

Anya Demshar has been away at college for the past two years, but her little brother kept her up-todate about everything going on at home. When she came home on the weekend, they’d go to jackpot shows together.

“He’d call me every day and tell me what was going on in the barn,” she said. “It might have been annoying at the time, but now he’s not there. I miss him.”

Griffin Demshar chose to do a carcass goat this year because he knew he wouldn’t be around to show it in the ring. The carcass show results were announced July 22, the Saturday before the fair. Todd Demshar said they wrote him a letter telling him the news, but at the time of the sale, they weren’t sure if he’d gotten it yet. Anya planned to stand on the sales block with the banner for his carcass goat, so it wouldn’t be empty, and his other 4-H friends decided to join in. Goals. Todd Demshar said his son was a typical teenager who didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life, but he didn’t think a traditional four-year college was the right fit for him. Griffin Demshar eventually found that going into a specialized program in the Air Force could combine many of his hobbies into a career.

Griffin Demshar was accepted into the special warfare program to be a combat controller, Todd Demshar said. According to the Air Force website, a controller is a “highly specialized” Airman who is trained in a wide range of skills, including scuba, parachuting and snowmobiling, as well as being FAA-certified air traffic controller. To get into the program, Griffin Demshar had to pass extra fitness tests, his father said.

“I’m so extremely proud of what he’s doing and how he’s doing it,” Todd Demshar said. “I was very excited as a parent that once he determined it’s what he wanted, that he set his mind on it and went for it.”

Ohioans reject Issue 1

Continued from Page A1

Those opposing Issue 1 said its failure to pass means Ohioans will continue to be better able to make their voices heard on constitutional issues.

“Issue 1 was a direct attack on the environmental movement’s future potential to combat the causes of climate change … All Ohioans deserve to have their voices heard on the issues that matter most to them,” said Carol Kauffman, executive director of the Ohio Environmental Council, which opposed Issue 1, in an Aug. 8 statement. “We are proud to stand with the majority of Ohioans from every corner of the state, across political lines, who voted no on Issue 1 as well as the more than 200 organizations who united behind the One Person One Vote campaign.”

Good deeds are always worth it

preparing for their professions. Good teachers care deeply about their students, often being counselors, as well as imparters of knowledge. They wonder how their former charges are doing in life. And they question whether their efforts were worth the time. Down deep they know what they did was good, helpful and worthy of leaving a positive mark on the world.

Rev. Eldon Trubee

Like as a Fire

Matthew 14:1-12.

At the time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, and said unto his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.” For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife. For John said unto him, “It is not lawful for thee to have her.” And when he would put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before him, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, “Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.” And the king was sorry; nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given the damsel; and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

WAS IT ALL WORTH IT?

School teachers often wonder about what they accomplish. They feel the call to enrich children’s lives, spending a lot of time and money

Retired educators love to hear from their former students. Their comments, memories and accomplishments, whatever they may be, remind their mentors that something good rubbed off on their lives. I know, because my parents, mother-in-law and spouse were certified teachers with classroom experience.

John the Baptist comes to mind when I think about teachers. He responded to a call and faithfully followed its direction. He, too, was certain that he had followed God’s guidance while wrestling with questions about what he had accomplished.

John was Jesus’ cousin, born to Elizabeth, Mary’s relative. God planned for John to be the messenger who would foretell the coming of Cousin Jesus, God’s promised Savior of his people. He was aware of that heavenly task, as he preached about repentance while being part of a Jewish group that observed self-immersion as a sign of the cleansing from sin.

Jesus came to John to be baptized. At that moment, John knew that he had fulfilled his task of announcing the Savior’s arrival. A voice from heaven spoke. “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased.”

John continued his ministry, wearing camel hair clothing and eating locusts and wild honey. He preached about God’s judgment and their needs to turn from their evil ways.

He, however, began to have some questions about the softer, more forgiving message that Jesus proclaimed. John also noticed

the difficulty his cousin was having convincing and changing the world. These questions, in turn, caused him to wonder about his own call as the messenger of God’s deliverance.

This man of faith in God criticized the powerful people whose morals and attitudes were lacking. It was when he criticized Herod, the ruler of Galilee, for his immoral marriage that he was put in prison. John was beheaded at Herodias’ daughter’s request, simply because he had to honor his promise to her.

John the Baptist died, faithful to God, but probably wondering whether his ministry and role as proclaimer of Jesus the Savior’s coming was very effective in the end. He did not know that his task has been honored throughout Christian history. He was the critical link that joined the dreams of the prophets to the arrival of Jesus as the Savior.

Questions like John’s, and, of course, our own are normal and quite common. You and I sometimes wonder whether our lives’ directions are what we should have followed and perhaps whether they were what God had in mind for us. We should ask those questions just to keep ourselves on course. But we should keep in mind that God’s guidance can have its moments.

Remember that, like teachers and John the Baptist, we receive some positive and some negative feedback. Remember, also, that John did complete his task as God guided, and that it had an effect greater than John could have ever imagined.

Perhaps we should look at our lives, and think about the times someone has said thanks to us and the enduring and trusting friendships we have made. Let’s remember the tasks and good things we have done that often go unnoticed.

Then let’s ask ourselves, “Was it all worth it?” We will find that it was and that God was present to encourage us.

God, be with us and guide us in our endeavors. Amen.

Meditation from the Upper Room

IN COMMUNITY

God sets the lonely in families.

—

PSALM 68:6 (NIV)

When I was younger, I had this notion that I had to do everything by myself. I believed that asking for help would give glory to others that belonged only to God. However, as I have gotten older, I have realized that God created me and put me in the midst of people — family, friends, and community — because I need people.

Devotions for young at heart

I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one; But I can tell you, anyhow, I’d rather see than be one.

Gelett Burgess

I never saw the devil’s eyes, I never hope to see them; But I can tell you anyhow, I’d rather see than be them.

— JRhoades

Just how close should one permit themselves to get to the devil’s point of view and his temptations to sin? I dare say, at times, many of us venture far closer than what OSHA regulations would permit.

Back in the days of the old wild west, there were three men applying for a stage coach driver’s job. Trying to impress the man in charge, the first one said he could run the stage coach with a team of four horses at a full gallop as close as one foot from the edge of the cliff that lay along the road to Dodge City and maintain complete control. “You can trust me,” he said.

The second man claimed he was so good he could run the same team along the same cliff with the rim of the wheels running half on and half over the edge of the cliff and have all under control. “I’m just that good,” was his claim.

The third man simply said he would run the team as far from the edge of the cliff as possible. “I wouldn’t want to take any chances.”

Who do you suppose got the job?

Jesus describes the devil in John 8:44 by saying, “He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him … for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

I mean really now, just how close and chummy to this murdering liar do you want to be? When it comes to temptation, I say, take the third stagecoach drivers advice; don’t take any chances, stay as far away as possible.

“They strolled down the lane together, the sky was studded with stars;

They reached the gate in silence, he lifted down the bars:

She neither bowed nor thanked him, for she really knew not how;

again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.

He also told us, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:6.

My daddy held me up to the moo cow moo, so close I could almost touch;

And she was so soft and warm and brown, and I wasn’t scared — not much.

— Edmund Vance Cooke

I moved myself close to the Lord my God, so close I could almost touch;

And he was so big and full of power, and I wasn’t scared — not much!

— JRhoades

So, just how scared of God should one be? The Bible is full, and I do mean full, of passages about fearing the Lord; such as, “Fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. Yep, I’m definitely scared of that guy.

But on the other hand, the Bible is also full of verses like, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalm 111:10, and “How blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments.” Psalm 112:1.

I have learned that accepting help is a way of acknowledging that I can’t do it all by myself. I need God and the help of others around me. Over the years, I have seen God come into my life as a friend’s warm hug. God has met my needs through people I did not expect, sometimes even comforting me through the kindness of a stranger. God works in mysterious ways.

In today’s scripture reading, Judah asked his brother Simeon for help in the battle against the Canaanites. As they fought side by side,

God gave them the victory. God often reaches out to us through family and through community. It’s okay to ask for help even as we give help to those around us. When we do, we participate in God’s miracles.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for family and for all the people you have used to accomplish your purpose in our lives. Help us to continually trust in you.

Amen.

In the KNOW...

Whatcha Smokin’?

l Smoking Whole Chicken

• ¼ cup dark brown sugar, packed

• 2 Tbsp. chili powder

• 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika

• 1 Tbsp. onion powder

• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder

• 1 Tbsp. oregano

• 1 Tbsp. parsley flakes

• 2 tsp. salt

• 1 whole chicken, 4 to 5 pounds

Spatchcock your chicken by removing and discarding the innards that may be stuffed in the middle of the chicken. Place the whole chicken on a cutting board. Using a pair of kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut along one side of the backbone from the tail to the neck. Repeat on the other side to remove the backbone completely. Turn the chicken over and press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten it out. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix your rub and generously cover the chicken with the rub. Make sure to press the rub into the chicken really well, especially under the skin. You want the chicken to be completely covered with the mix. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. After the chicken has marinated, prep the smoker accordingly and preheat it until the smoker reaches 225 F. Once the smoker has preheated, put the whole chicken on a rack in the smoker breast side up. Insert a meat thermometer into the side of the chicken breast ensuring it doesn’t touch any part of the bone. Smoke the chicken at about 225 F until the internal meat thermometer reaches 165 F, approximately five hours. When the chicken is verified to be fully cooked with a thermometer, remove it from the smoker. Wrap it loosely with aluminum foil and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

l Smoked Tri-Tip

• 1 Tri-Tip Roast, 4-6 pounds

• 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

• 2 Tbsp. paprika

• 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika

• 2½ tsp. black pepper

• 1 Tbsp. kosher salt

• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder

• 1 Tbsp. onion powder

• 3/4 tsp. mustard powder

Rinse the tri-tip with cool water and pat dry. Use a sharp trimming or boning knife to remove any loose pieces of meat. Trim away hard fat. Apply a light coat of olive oil to the tri-tip to help the dry rub stick. Mix the seasoning in a small bow and sprinkle the rub evenly on all sides of the roast, and lightly pat it down to ensure it stays. Smoke the tri-tip on at 200-225 F or about 2 hours, or until an internal thermometer reads between 135-140 F for medium. Remove the tri-tip from the smoker and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.

l Smoked Pork Belly

• 1 whole pork belly, 6-7 pounds

• 1/3 cup favorite pork dry rub

• 2 disposable foil pans and 2 baking racks make this procedure much easier

SAuCe:

• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

• 1/2 cup cherry preserves

• 1 Tbsp. yellow mustard

• 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

• 1/2 stick butter

Preheat the smoker to 275 F. Chill the slab of pork belly in a refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes. On an extra large cutting board, lay the pork belly out fat side up and slice vertically to cut slabs 11 1/2 inches thick. Cut these slabs into cubes of about 1 - 1 1/2 inch thickness. Larger portions like rectangles can also be done depending on your preference. Place your dry rub in a small bowl and roll each cube in the spices. Don’t be afraid to coat them fully. Then place it on a baking or cooling rack. Place the baking rack full of seasoned pork belly onto the smoker over indirect heat and close the chamber. Start checking them after about 2 hours with a digital thermometer. Smoke the pork belly bites until the internal temperature is 190-195 F. A full pork belly takes about 2 1/2 hours. Pull the smoked pork belly out of the smoker and transfer it into a foil roasting pan. Rest for 5 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients in small saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes and whisk well. Pour this over the cubes of pork belly, tossing well so that each cube is covered in sauce or serve on the side.

l Smoked Cheesy Bread Rolls

• 18 frozen dinner rolls

• 1½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ lg. onion, diced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 4 oz. can drained green chilis

• ¼ cup

olive oil

• 2 tsp. garlic powder

• 1 tsp.

basil

• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning

Place frozen dinner rolls in an aluminum 9-by-13-inch pan with space between them for 45 minutes to soften. Once this time is up, mix together olive oil, drained diced chiles, cheese, diced onions and seasonings. Cut dinner rolls into four equal pieces each and put them into the bowl. Gently toss together so each piece is nicely coated. Spray aluminum pan with nonstick spray and dump pull apart mixture inside. Cover the tray with sprayed aluminum foil and place in a slightly warmer area in your kitchen to rest and rise until they’ve about doubled in size, about an hour. Preheat your smoker to 350 F and then place your covered tray on top of the grates for 40 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and continue cooking for 10 minutes to brown the top. Keep on an additional 5 minutes if you want them darker.

There are a few reasons to smoke food instead of just cooking it over direct heat, even with the extended effort. One reason, and perhaps the most important, is flavor. Smoking meats creates a much more tender piece of meat and an awesome bark-like texture for the crust. It takes more time, but it’s well worth it. Other foods benefit with more flavor from being smoked as well. My husband researched which smoker would be best for us and decided on the electric smoker due to its consistency and ability to regulate the temperature. If smoking is something you’re interested in, talk to friends and research to see which is best for you.

l Smoked Macaroni and Cheese

• 1 lb. med. seashell pasta

• 1 stick butter

• 1/4 cup flour

• 1 Tbsp. mustard powder

• 2 cups whole milk

• 1 cup half & half

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces

• 3 cups grated cheddar cheese

• 3/4 cup grated gouda

• 3/4 cup shredded reggiano parmigiano

Topping:

• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

• 1/4 cup melted butter

• 1/2 cup cooked and finely crumbled bacon

• 1 cup shredded cheese

Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce in a saucepan or right in a large cast iron skillet that can go straight from stove to smoker. Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour until it’s smooth. Whisk in the mustard powder and then the milk and half and half. Bring it just to a slow boil, turn off the heat and stir in the softened cream cheese. Add the shredded cheese in small handfuls and whisk it until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Toss the pasta and sauce together until all of the noodles are coated. Pour the mixture into the pan you’re using to go into the smoker. Prepare the topping and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese mixture. Place the pan into the smoker and keep it at a steady 225 F temperature for an hour. You can leave it up to 2 hours if you prefer a stronger smoke flavor.

l Smoked Sweet Potatoes with Maple

Cinnamon Butter

• 6 whole sweet potatoes

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil

• 1 Tbsp. salt

MAple CinnAMon Butter

• 8 Tbsp. salted butter, softened

• 4 Tbsp. maple syrup

• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat your smoker to 250 F. Wash and dry your sweet potatoes. Pierce them with a fork on all sides. Drizzle with olive oil and rub all over the skin of the sweet potatoes. Season the sweet potatoes on all sides with the salt. Place the potatoes on the smoker, close the lid and smoke for 2 hours or until the potatoes pierce evenly with a fork. A perfectly cooked sweet potato will have an internal temperature of 210 F. In a small bowl, whisk together the salted butter, maple syrup and cinnamon. Set aside. Remove the sweet potatoes, place them on a serving platter and quarter your potatoes with a knife. Serve with maple cinnamon butter.

l Smoked Cheesecake

CruSt

• 4.8 oz. graham crackers (9 sheets, 1/3 of a box)

• 4 Tbsp. butter

Filling

• 16 oz. cream cheese

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat the smoker to 225 F. Spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Add the graham crackers and butter to a food processor. Process until it is fine crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Add the filling ingredients to the food processor. Process until the batter is smooth. Pour the cheesecake filling on top of the crust. Place the cheesecake into the smoker. Cook for 2 hours or until the center only jiggles slightly. Chill for at least 4-6 hours before serving. As it chills, the cheesecake will pull back from the edges of the pan, and you can get a nice clean edge. Top with your favorite fruit, pie filling or caramel topping.

l Smoked Cauliflower

• 1 head cauliflower trimmed, rinsed, dried

• 1/4 cup salted butter, room temperature

• 1 tsp. paprika

• 1 tsp. garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp. onion powder

• 1 pinch each salt and pepper

Mix the butter with the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Rub the butter mixture evenly over the top of the cauliflower. Place cauliflower into a cast iron or foil pan. Smoke at 350 F until the cauliflower is fork-tender, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from smoker and sprinkle parmesan cheese over top.

Life Out Loud!

Stopping ‘state hate’

The Midwest may just be America’s best-kept secret. I get it, it is not remotely cool to be from “flyover country.” According to Urban Dictionary, flyover states are those areas of the United States that “generally aren’t destinations for travelers or tourists and are generally flown over when traveling from coast to coast.”

The truth is that the Midwest is more than just a bunch of fields and dollar stores. There is also a lot of road construction, slowmoving traffic and suicidal deer who enjoy jumping in front of vehicles. Just kidding. That’s just what we put out there to keep the droves of people moving inland at bay.

Flyover country. Flyover country also offers water and/or snow skiing; boating; world-renowned amusement parks and museums; state and national parks; hiking; camping; concerts; sporting events; casual and fine dining; breweries and wineries; great schools, colleges and universities and public libraries among other things.

The infrastructure offers highways for easy travel, diverse landscapes, river towns and lakeside cities, thriving small business growth and an overall reasonable cost of living.

There are some amazing urban areas in “flyover country.”

There is also an awful lot of open land and less populated rural areas. If the question “Where are you from?” requires you to answer with the name of the nearest big city — even if it’s an hour away because saying the actual name of your area would be met with blank stares — you are probably from rural flyover country. It’s wonderful.

Living in the rural Midwest is driving 20 minutes one way to “town.” It is called “town” because it has at least one stoplight and the required presence of a dollar store — those seem to appear overnight every five miles or so.

Not all mosquito repellents are equal

By Immo A. Hansen and Hailey A. Luker

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Now that summer is in full swing, mosquitoes have come out across the United States. The use of mosquito repellents can protect both your health and sanity this summer.

While mosquitoes leave bothersome, itchy bites on your skin, they can also pose a serious and sometimes deadly risk to your health. When a mosquito bites you, it may transmit harmful pathogens that cause dangerous diseases like malaria, Dengue fever, Zika and West Nile.

Avoiding mosquito bites. Mosquito females bite people to get vital nutrients from our blood. They then use these nutrients to make their eggs. One single blood meal can give rise to about 100 mosquito eggs that hatch into wiggling larvae.

There are several ways to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes, from wearing long, loose clothing and limiting time outside to placing screens over your windows and getting rid of standing water that mosquitoes might use to breed.

However, one of the best ways to protect yourself when you’re going to a place where hungry mosquitoes will be buzzing around is by using mosquito repellents.

Repellent basics. Our team at the New Mexico State University Molecular Vector Physiology Laboratory has studied different types of mosquito repellents and their efficacy for over a decade. Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself this summer:

The use of mosquito repellents goes far back in history, certainly predating written historical accounts. Some of the oldest records of the use of mosquito repellents date back to early Egyptian and Roman history. During this period, smoke from smudge fires was often used to repel mosquitoes.

Today, we have more options than our ancestors when it comes to choosing what type of mosquito repellent to use — sprays and lotions, candles, coils and vaporizers, to name some.

These repellents interfere with a mosquito’s sense of smell, taste or both. The repellent either blocks or overstimulates these senses. Scientists understand how certain repellents like DEET work at the molecular level, but for many of them, it is still unknown why exactly they repel mosquitoes.

Testing repellents. We used a variety of scientific laboratory experiments and field tests to find out what works. For some products, testing was as simple as putting a volunteer’s treated arm into a cage with 25 mosquitoes and waiting for the first mosquito bite.

Not all mosquito repellents are equal

(Continued from Page B1)

For others, like citronella candles, we used a slow-speed wind tunnel and put a candle or device between a person and a cage of mosquitoes. Depending on the repellent efficacy of the device, mosquitoes either flew toward the person or away. Another experiment we conducted was the Ytube choice assay where mosquitoes chose to fly toward someone’s hand or, if repelled, fly toward the blank or empty option.

Ineffective repellents. Bracelets don’t work. Department stores and pharmacy chains sell hundreds of different varieties of bracelets. They are marketed as “mosquito repellent” bands, wristbands and watches, and their materials can vary from plastic to leather. Even if they are loaded with repellents, they can’t protect your whole body from mosquito bites.

Ultrasonic-repellent devices don’t work. These come as electrical plug-ins, free-standing varieties or watchlike accessories that claim to emit a high-frequency sound that deters mosquitoes by mimicking bats. However, in scientific studies, ultrasonic-repellent devices fail to repel mosquitoes. In fact, when our lab tested one of these devices, we found a slight increase in mosquito attraction to the wearer.

Dietary supplements — vitamin B, garlic and so on — don’t work. No scientific evidence shows these supplements protect people from mosquito bites.

Light-based repellents don’t work. These devices come as colored light bulbs, and they don’t attract insects that fly toward white light. This approach works well on moths, beetles and stinkbugs, but not on mosquitoes.

The best repellents. Here is our ranking of what does work, starting with the best repellent/active ingredient.

DEET works. DEET, chemical name, N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, was developed in the 1950s by the U.S. Army and is a well-established mosquito repellent with a long his-

tory of use. The higher the percentage, the longer the protection time is — up to six hours.

Picaridin works. This synthetic repellent can protect for up to six hours at a 20% concentration. This repellent is a promising alternative for DEET.

Oil of lemon eucalyptus, or OLE, works. OLE, with the active ingredient PMD, is a plant-based alternative to DEET and picaridin. Its repellent properties can last for up to six hours.

Mixed results. Other essential oils — some work, some not so much. We applied 20 different essential oils in a 10% essential oil lotion mixture to volunteers’ skin.

Here’s what we found:

Clove oil works. This oil, with the active ingredient eugenol, can protect from mosquito bites for over 90 minutes at a 10% concentration in lotion.

Cinnamon oil works. This oil, with the active ingredients cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, can protect from mosquitoes for over 60 minutes at a 10% concentration in lotion. Geraniol and 2-PEP, or 2-phenylethyl propionate, work for about 60 minutes at a 10% concentration in lotion.

Citronella oil works, just not so great. We found citronella oil at a 10% concentration only protected from mosquito bites for about 30 minutes.

If you are planning to mix your own plant-based mosquito repellent this summer, remember that essential oils are complex mixtures of plantmade chemicals that can cause skin irritations at high concentrations.

Based on our study, we recommend using repellents with the active ingredient DEET if you live in or are traveling to regions with a high risk of vector-borne disease transmission. However, plant-based repellents will work just fine to prevent nuisance mosquito bites in low-risk areas, as long as you reapply them as needed.

Ohio AG settles with phony East Palestine charity

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — After finding previously unreported funds, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced settlements with one of the phony charity’s founders and its fundraiser that will direct all of the money raised on behalf of Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley to the organization, as intended.

Yost’s office began investigating the Ohio Clean Water Fund, founder Michael Peppel and the organization’s fundraiser after a complaint from Second Harvest officials, who said they had never given OCWF permission to raise money in the food bank’s name.

The investigation found that the phony charity had been soliciting monetary donations for bottled water for East Palestine residents via text messages following the Feb. 3 train derailment and that it had collected more than $141,000 from donors nationwide.

Only after the food bank complained did Peppel agree to pay $10,000 to the food bank, a fraction of

what had been collected, according to the Attorney General’s office. Attorney General Yost sued OCWF in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court and on June 1 announced a settlement with the “group” and one of its board members, Patrick Lee. That settlement required OCWF to dissolve and to pay $116,904.88 in restitution to the food bank and a $15,000 civil penalty.

Since that settlement, a court-mandated review of OCWF’s bank records, invoices, payment records and other financial documents showed that the phony charity and its fundraiser had actually raised nearly $149,000 — and that OCWF used WAMA Strategies as its main fundraiser.

Under the new settlement, Peppel must pay a $25,000 civil penalty and is permanently banned from incorporating, operating or soliciting for any charity in Ohio; and WAMA and its owners, Isaiah Wartman and Luke Mahoney, must pay $22,077.48 in restitution to Second Harvest.

Stopping ‘state hate’

Living in a small town. I grew up in a mid-sized town that I swore was a small town. It is not. It’s a college (university) town. I moved to an actual “small town” (township actually), and now I know the difference.

We actually have amazing farm markets just a stone’s throw away. We also live near a village which is only a few minutes down the road. It’s still a one-stoplight town, but it’s absolutely adorable. We have a cute little white gazebo, a village green, a gas station that you can drive up to on a tractor, and we got a dollar store a few years ago. Most things are closed on Sunday though.

You know you live in a small town when you know how to make a meal from the dollar store because you are avoiding the drive up to the “real” grocery store. In a pinch, you will serve boxed mac and cheese with a side of pretzels and a package of Little Debbie snack cakes and like it, thank you very much.

Perception of the Midwest I spend a lot of my time on the internet and social media because a) I didn’t amount to much, and b) I did manage to finagle that into my career requirements.

It is extremely common to see any post or mention of any Midwest state event, perk or real estate listing met with comments like “Yeah, but then you’re still in Ohio (or Michigan, Iowa, etc.).” When people parrot, “Oh, I could never live in the middle of nowhere,” I have to roll my eyes just a bit.

Sure we have acreage with nothing but woods and farming around us. I’m still just an hour’s drive from a world-class orchestra, pro sports teams, theater districts, outstanding museums, freshwater sport fishing and boating, and one of the best healthcare facilities in the world — among other perks.

Our children received a top-notch education from a small public school system that is literally ringed with farm fields. They can and do see cows from the classroom. Laugh if you must about those classes of less than one hundred students but they definitely made some lasting friendships. They also got great one-on-one attention from teachers. Bonus: They got away with absolutely nothing because in rural flyover country pretty much everyone knows your mama and they WILL call and tell on you.

Ending state hate. I say we should put an end to “state hate.” I’m a big proponent that one should settle in their hometown (if they so choose) by choice — not by habit. Get out. Travel. Only then can you learn a little more about yourself and your place in it.

We’re all just cogs in a wheel. But you should probably wheel around a bit before you park yourself. Once you do, there are numerous reasons to love every state in our great nation. If you find yourself in one that isn’t a good fit for you — find one that is. If you truly cannot bloom where you are planted, then by all means uproot yourself.

Canfield Fair cuts ribbon on event center

CANFIELD, Ohio — The Canfield Fair Board cut the ribbon on the Michael Kusalaba Fund of the Youngstown Foundation Event Center Aug. 10 and auctioned off 21 rooster statues that were part of the Flock to the Fairgrounds public art display.

Phase 1 of the event center was completed in 2020, just before the 2020 Fair, at the cost of approximately $3.2 million dollars which built a 35,000-square-foot building. Phase 2 was completed in 2023 at the cost of approximately $1.3 million dollars and included the lobby, restroom area and classrooms.

The Flock to the Fairgrounds is a public art project designed to celebrate 175 years of Canfield Fair traditions, promote the arts and raise money for the Canfield Fair Foundation. The rooster statutes were sponsored by local businesses and painted by local artists selected through a jury process. The roosters made their debut at the 2021 Canfield Fair and were to be auctioned off that year, but because of continued COVID community flareups, the event was put on hold. As progress continued on the building it made sense to incorporate the auction with the ribbon cutting. The auction brought in nearly $60,000, all proceeds of which will go to the Mahoning County Agricultural Society Canfield Fair.

Old tools remind us of tasks lost to time

By Terry and Kim Kovel

Early 20th-century farms and households had many unusual appliances with identities and purposes that have been lost to time. Look at this device with toothed wheels and a hand crank that sold for $266 at Conestoga Auction Company in Pennsylvania.

Is it a kitchen gadget — perhaps a fruit or vegetable peeler? Some kind of grinder or chopper? In fact, it’s a mechanical rope twister.

In the early 1900s, farmers made their own rope. Most people buy it ready-made today. The buyer probably intended to keep this rope twister as an antique instead of using it as a tool. But someone crafty, curious or very dedicated to “do-it-yourself” can buy modern, usable rope twisters or kits online.

Q. I bought a vase shaped like a goose at a garage sale 20 years ago for 25 cents. It’s about 12 inches tall and the back is open like a vase. It’s marked “HB Quimper.” It looks hand-painted. What can you tell me about it and what, if anything, is it worth?

A. It’s worth more than 25 cents. Pottery was made by three different factories in Quimper, France, beginning in the late 17th century. Pierre Bousquet founded the first factory in 1708. It became the HB Factory (Hubaudiere-Bousquet) in 1782 after Antoine de la Hubaudiere became the factory manager.

HB merged with two other factories in 1968. After more changes in ownership, the factory became Henriot-Quimper in 2011. Variations

of the HB Quimper mark were used from 1895 to 1984. Your goose vase with an open back is a planter. One sold recently for $40, although some sellers are asking higher prices.

McDonough receives grant award from Ohio Arts Council

YOUNGSTOWN — The Cliffe College of Creative Arts and the John J. McDonough Museum of Art, Youngstown State University’s Center for Contemporary Art, have announced a sustainability grant for $11,292.00 for fiscal year 2024 from the historic $21.8 million in arts grants approved by Ohio Arts Council Board.

In its description of this type of grant, the Ohio Arts Council states,

“This flexible and reliable funding supports a wide range of the state’s arts providers as they make highquality artistic experiences available to residents and visitors, positioning Ohio as a national leader in creativity, artistry and cultural wealth.” This year there were 452 Sustainability Grants awarded, totaling $16,294,566. Without continued funding, the

museum wouldn’t be able to continue to support programs such as the Emerging Artist series, which was established to create opportunities for new and emerging visual and performing/performance artists, especially those with underrepresented voices and viewpoints. The funding also gives the museum the ability to collaborate with the community to help create programs that matter to it.

Hello from Hazard!

We don’t do this very often, but we received an insightful phone call from Mike Teagarden, who knew exactly how Item No. 1252 and Item No. 1253 were used. He pointed out the clue was visible right on the plates — “Pea Gauge Distributed by FMC Corporation” and “Green and Wax Bean Gauge Compliments of FMC.” He explained the gauges were used to determine the average size of the pea or bean seeds to set the plate in the planter, and recalled his father explaining their use to him during his youth when he first noticed them on a planter.

He also made what he considered a “hazardous guess” on Item No. 1254, guessing it may have been used as a stake to tie something off, possibly a beam or post. It’s the same size as most stakes at under a foot long, and he pointed out the circular holes

at the top would be perfect to loop a rope through.

Greg Kimmet also submitted a guess for Item No. 1254, suggesting it could potentially be a vintage shish kabob skewer.

Greg Marous, of Bainbridge Township, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1252 and Item No. 1253 and Jim Petrosky came across Item No. 1254 at his great uncle’s estate.

This is the last week for Item No. 1254, so if you have any guesses let us know before the next issue.

Do you know what the items are and how they were used? Let us know by emailing us at editorial@ farmanddairy.com; or by mail to: Hazard a Guess, c/o Farm and Dairy, P.O. Box 38, Salem, OH 44460. We could use more items to keep this column going. Please submit items you would like identified to editorial@farmanddairy.com.

McKinley Museum seeks funds for sword restoration project

CANTON, Ohio — The Board of Trustees of the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum are currently seeking funding to complete a sword restoration project at the McKinley National Memorial which will outline the shape of the Long Water that was part of the original design.

Three anonymous donors have

given $75,000 towards the $85,000 project. The museum is seeking an additional $10,000 to complete this project.

After William McKinley’s funeral in September 1901, a group of his closest friends and advisors met to discuss an appropriate tribute to the assassinated president.

The McKinley National Memorial Association, a private organization, was formed to conduct a national competition for designs.

The members chose the design submitted by architect Harold Van Buren Magonigle. After successfully raising enough funds to begin construction, the McKinley National Memorial

Treasures waiting to be found!

was built between 1905 and 1907. Magonigle’s original design included a reflecting pool called the “Long Water,” which was part of the symbolism of the site as seen from an aerial view.

The Long Water never functioned as Magonigle intended. In the 1950s, it was removed, filled in

and landscaped. Using the original blueprints, Motter & Meadows has drafted plans to recreate the outline of the sword using concrete.

Donations can be sent to Sword Restoration Project, McKinley Presidential Library & Museum, 800 McKinley Monument Drive NW, Canton, OH 44708.

Feast Day Mass to be held Aug. 26 in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — PolishYoungstown and St. Columba Cathedral will honor the feast day of Eastern Europe’s most beloved Marion icons with a special event at 4 p.m. Aug. 26 at St. Columba Cathedral, 159 W Rayen Ave.

Very Rev. Msgr. Robert J. Siffrin will serve as celebrant with other Diocesan Slavic priests invited. Traditional Polish hymns will be part of the English language mass, and a Polish meal will be served in the cathedral hall afterward. A free-will offering of $15 per person is requested. Music will be provided by accordionist Luke Politsky. The public is invited.

The Rev. Eric Orzech, past president and board member of the Polish-American Priests Association, will be the keynote speaker. He will speak to the miracles associated with the ”Black Madonna” and her role in Catholic lives today. He is the pastor of the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus in Cleveland’s Slavic Village and the miracle church of St. Casimir Church in Cleveland.

The icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa has been intimately associated with Poland for more than 600 years. In every Polish church, there is a reproduction of the Black Madonna. In 2010, the Most Rev. George V. Murry, S.J, enlisted PolishYoungstown’s help to initiate an effort with the parish of St. Columba Cathedral to renovate the baptistery into a shrine to Our Lady of Częstochowa. This was done to welcome the parishioners of St. Casimir and St. Stanislaus into the cathedral parish upon the closure of their reorganized churches. Financial campaigns and contributions raised from PolishYoungstown, the St. Casimir Society and Cathedral parishioners made this effort a reality.

The shrine was dedicated Oct. 30, 2012; it is open to the public, offers prayer cards and recordings, and is available for devotion any time the Cathedral is open. For more information, call 330-744-5233.

A Greener View: Fall gardens

and tomato anthracnose

By Jeff Rugg

Q: I think I remember you writing one time that a fall garden would be easier to take care of and that it should be planted in the middle of the summer. Am I right? What should I plant?

A: You are right. Planting a fall vegetable garden is a good idea, and now is the time to start planting it for many people around the country.

A fall vegetable garden is easier to take care of for several reasons. There is cooler weather, so it is easier to maintain watering. There are fewer weeds. The cool-season crops get a longer cool season than when they are planted in the spring. If you are gardening in the Deep South or Southwest, fall is the time that the weather cools off enough to grow summer crops like tomatoes.

Most fall garden crops are started from seeds because garden centers don’t stock small vegetable plants for transplanting into the garden. Read the seed packet to see how many days it takes from planting to harvest. Be careful that you are reading whether the time to maturity is from planting seeds or from planting transplants into the garden until the harvest date.

If you are planting a warm-season crop, you will want to harvest the crop before the average first frost date. Cool-season crops don’t have that problem. In fact, some cool-season crops like Brussels sprouts taste better after being exposed to a frost.

You can plant potatoes in midJuly if you can find them. The Wood Prairie Family Farm still has potatoes available. They have a lot of certified organic varieties at woodprairie.com.

Start planting broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower indoors now to plant as small plants in the garden around the middle of August. By the end of July, plant in the garden seeds of beets, carrots, spinach and short-season beans. By the middle of August, plant lettuce and radishes.

Tomato anthracnose

Q: My tomatoes have developed an odd problem. They look like they have been dropped, but of course, they are still on the vine. They have circular flat spots that are soft like a bruise. Some of the spots have black centers.

A: It sounds like they have a disease called anthracnose. It is a fungal disease that is found in the soil. It develops when spores get splashed onto the plant. The weather needs to be warm with temperatures over 80 degrees. The circular flat spots sink into the fruit and as the fungus grows, it eventually bursts from the center with black spores. The disease starts on the unripe fruit but is not noticed until the fruit is ripe and ready to harvest. Leaves can also be infected.

Prune off the infected fruit to stop them from infecting more fruit. They are still edible if you cut out the soft

spots. Try not to splash soil onto the plants while watering or allow rainwater to splash them. Mulch around the plants to reduce the splashing. Use drip irrigation if possible. Install a trellis to raise the plants up from the ground if necessary. Next year, use tomato varieties that say they are resistant to anthracnose. Next year, if you can, plant tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in different areas of the garden.

don’t have to be a farmer to enjoy

Now Here’s A Tip

By Jo Anne Derson

• To bring out the natural sweetness of corn on the cob, try sprinkling a little bit of salt in the pot after the water has come to a boil.

• If the scar of a cantaloupe is rough or has a stem attached, the melon was picked too early and won’t ripen as good as one with a smooth scar. Also, check the net pattern over the outside; it should be even and an overall tanyellow color, not green or mottled.

• You can remove berry stains from your fingers with lemon juice.

Got berry juice on your tablecloth?

Here’s E.B. of Mississippi’s suggestion: “Pour a generous amount of milk on the spot, let it soak for 15 minutes or more. Then soak in cold water with soap for an hour or more. Wash, rinse and dry.”

• Soak raisins in cold water before chopping so that they won’t stick to your knife.

• “Use celery ribs lined up to create a base for your roast. This way, the juices move around more and the roast never sticks to the pan. I serve the celery with the roast, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

— A.T. in Tennessee

• Need to chill some drinks for a party fast? Pile on the ice, of course, and then add the secret weapon: water. Icy water chills drinks quicker than placing them in ice alone. The heat is transferred from the warm drinks to the water because there’s total contact. (Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. ©2023 King Features Synd., Inc.)

DeWine launches ReadOhio initiative

COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a new statewide effort to encourage improved literacy skills for all ages, including the implementation of a curriculum aligned with the science of reading in K-12 school.

The ReadOhio initiative, announced Aug. 10, will use research that has been conducted for decades by scientists and literacy experts that shows there is an actual science behind learning to read and that certain skills need to be taught, including phonics.

“With 40% of Ohio third graders not proficient in reading, we need to seriously look at how we are teaching reading in the state because reading is fundamental to future success,” DeWine said, in a statement.

DeWine also announced a toolkit for school leaders whose schools are not already using a curriculum aligned with this method, at Education.Ohio.Gov/ReadOhio that will help educators prepare for the transition to the science of reading instruction. “Read it Again!” a free digital resource for early child-

hood educators developed by the Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy at Ohio State University to help build language skills in infants, toddlers and pre-K students.

An online resource, available this fall, gives parents and caregivers tips to help our youngest children grow their literacy skills.

There is also a continued focus on expanding the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Ohio, which provides one free book a month for any child in Ohio from birth to age 5. Currently, more than 58% of eligible Ohio kids are participating in the program.

DeWine signed an executive order in March to renew our state’s focus on building literacy skills, including a program to recognize schools that are demonstrating a strong implementation of best practices aligned to the science of reading and where students are making significant progress in reading.

Russia is back on the lunar path after 47 years

By Jim Heintz and Emma Burrows

Associated Press

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — A rocket carrying a lunar landing craft blasted off Aug 11 on Russia’s first moon mission in nearly 50 years, racing to land on Earth’s satellite ahead of an Indian spacecraft.

The launch from Russia’s Vostochny spaceport in the Far East of the Luna-25 craft to the moon is Russia’s first since 1976 when it was part of the Soviet Union.

The Russian lunar lander is expected to reach the moon on Aug. 23, about the same day as an Indian craft which was launched on July 14. The Russian spacecraft will take about 5.5 days to travel to the moon’s vicinity, then spend three to seven days orbiting at about 62 miles before heading for the surface.

Only three governments have managed successful moon landings: the Soviet Union, the United States and China. India and Russia are aiming to be the first to land at the moon’s south pole.

Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency, said it wants to show Russia “is a state capable of delivering a

payload to the moon,” and “ensure Russia’s guaranteed access to the moon’s surface.”

“Study of the moon is not the goal,” said Vitaly Egorov, a popular Russian space analyst. “The goal is political competition between two superpowers — China and the USA — and a number of other countries which also want to claim the title of space superpower.”

Sanctions imposed on Russia after it invaded Ukraine make it harder for it to access Western technology, impacting its space program. The Luna-25 was initially meant to carry a small moon rover but that idea was abandoned to reduce the weight of the craft for improved reliability, analysts say.

“Foreign electronics are lighter, domestic electronics are heavier,” Egorov said. “While scientists might have the task of studying lunar water, for Roscosmos the main task is simply to land on the moon — to recover lost Soviet expertise and learn how to perform this task in a new era.”

The Luna-25 launched flawlessly from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East, according to video feed from Roscosmos. The spaceport is a pet project of Russian President

Vladimir Putin and is key to his efforts to make Russia a space superpower and move Russian launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

A previous Indian attempt to land at the moon’s south pole in 2019 ended when the lander crashed into the moon’s surface. The lunar south pole is of particular interest to scientists, who believe the permanently shadowed polar craters may contain water. The frozen water in the rocks could be transformed by future explorers into air and rocket fuel.

“The moon is largely untouched and the whole history of the moon is written on its face,” said Ed Bloomer, an astronomer at Britain’s Royal Observatory, Greenwich. “It is pristine and like nothing you get on Earth. It is its own laboratory.”

The Luna-25 is to take samples of moon rock and dust. The samples are crucial to understanding the moon’s environment ahead of building any base there, “otherwise we could be building things and having to shut them down six months later because everything has effectively been sandblasted,” Bloomer said.

Maximizing the value of your clothing purchases

By Anne D’Innocenzio Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — For Jake Welch, getting dressed is one big math problem. The 36-year-old brand director for an advertising firm calculates the cost-per-wear of his wardrobe by highlighting 200 items in a spreadsheet — excluding underwear and socks — and meticulously listing the price he paid for each of them as well as how many times he’s worn it. He updates the spreadsheet every night on his computer to determine whether his purchases were worth it — or not.

Lots of people thought Welch was weird when he started doing this 12 years ago, opting to ditch the cheapest items on the sales rack in favor of maximizing the value of his purchases over the span of their lifecycles. But with inflation still a nagging problem, more shoppers are coming around to his way of thinking.

“I was actually onto something versus being a little looney,” said Welch of Erda, Utah, who presented his findings last month at a company meeting.

New strategy. Retailers are taking note of this mindset and shifting their marketing strategy in some cases. Gap’s Old Navy is offering shoppers a full refund for uniforms purchased during the upcoming back-to-school season if the clothes don’t hold up for a year.

Retailers like Kohl’s and online shirt retailer Untuckit have recently revamped their marketing cam-

paigns — particularly for the fall — to focus on durability and versatility. American Eagle is touting the “longevity of your most-loved jeans” made of recycled cotton and polyester in email campaigns to customers.

That means a $200 classic sweater may end up being a better deal if you plan to wear it every week in comparison to a hot pink dress picked up for $40 that might be worn only once a month.

“Cost-per-wear is another way that they think about how to combat some of the inflation,” said Christie

Raymond, Kohl’s chief marketing officer. “Is this item going to last? Is it going to really be versatile? For back to school, for example, can my child wear it in a number of different ways?”

Some shoppers are also looking to be more eco-friendly by buying clothes that don’t end up in a landfill after being worn a few times.

Still, the cost-per-wear calculation may only make sense for those consumers who can afford to prioritize quality and versatility over price.

Neil Saunders, managing director of

GlobalData Retail, notes that shoppers with tighter budgets will look at price and may not care whether something will last just as long as it looks good for now.

Indeed, fast-fashion purveyors are still faring well in the face of inflation. Chinese e-commerce retailer Temu, known for deep discounts and coupons, has continued its meteoric rise in the U.S., adding nearly 10 million new daily users since the turn of the year, according to market intelligence firm GWS. Meanwhile, Shein, the ultra-low-price, fast-fashion jug-

gernaut founded in China, has been increasing its daily users from 3.1 million to 4.9 million daily users over the past year, according to GWS.

But there’s a growing backlash to the cheap stuff.

Looking for quality. Rohan Deuskar, founder and CEO of Stylitics, a retail technology firm that powers personalized styling, outfitting and bundling suggestions for 150 retailers online, said he started seeing the trend this past holiday shopping season. He noted the average order was going up, particularly for holiday dresses, while shoppers were buying fewer items. And shoppers were also spending more time engaging with the virtual models that showed different ways to wear the item.

“Shoppers are being more considerate about every purchase and being willing to spend only if they get value — and that no longer just means cheap,” Deuskar said. “We’re reaching a little bit of an oversaturation of buying a bunch of stuff.”

According to market research firm Circana’s Retail Tracking Service, higher prices are outpacing lower prices over the past 12-month period ending in June. Women’s dresses priced $200 and above grew about twice as fast as those priced under $50.

Sales of men’s jeans that were less than $30 declined, while higher price brands drove growth. Sales of women’s jeans priced $150 and above increased by 7%. And while the market for women’s active pants declined 20%, women’s active pants priced between $125 to $150 increased 19%, according to Circana.

Maximizing the value of your clothing purchases

(Continued from Page B28)

Saunders notes that “price and quality aren’t always linked.” In fact, some retailers may be using any excuse to sell higher price goods. There’s also the timeliness of the fashion item to consider. Shoppers may think about longevity when they look for a coat but not for a skirt or a top.

“People like to refresh or their tastes change,” he said.

And cost-per-wear calculations don’t factor in weight loss or gain, Saunders added.

Welch said his wardrobe consists of mostly blacks, greys and blues and items that can carry through multiple seasons. Higher inflation has helped him better separate his needs and wants.

“I ask myself a little bit harder: ‘Is it something that I absolutely need?’” he said. “Consulting my spreadsheet, how many golf shorts do I really have?”

Welch noted that his formal wear and suits along with dress shirts are among the items that rank the highest in cost-per-wear. He chose a charcoal suit — not a tan version — for his wedding in 2018 that he bought for $480 at Bonobos. He has worn it 44 times, resulting in a cost-per-wear of

$10.91. Not too bad but ideally he likes to get it down to 50 cents per wear, like the athletic shorts he bought at Outdoor Voices for $20 and has worn 434 times, according to his spreadsheet he shared.

Versatility counts. Kohl’s said its marketing campaigns are showing different ways that items can be worn. For example, on the department store’s Instagram account, it pairs a white T-shirt and denim shirts in different ways, including a beachy take and a more stylish approach with hoop earrings.

Untuckit’s fall campaign, “Made for the next journey,” focuses on the different ways customers can wear the shirt or the jacket — taking it from the office to night time events.

As for Welch, he said his wife is now staying away from fast-fashion and focusing on quality, though she’s not embracing the spreadsheets. And he’s delighted that his two girls, ages 3 and seven months, fit with the new math.

“With my first daughter, the cost for use on her dresses and stuff like that have decreased with having another girl, “ he said. “So if we have a boy, great. But if we have another girl, that’s just even more savings.”

US Steel rejects a $7.3 billion offer from rival Cleveland-Cliffs

NEW YORK (AP) — United States Steel Corp. said that it rejected a $7.3 billion buyout proposal from rival Cleveland Cliffs and was reviewing “strategic alternatives” after receiving several unsolicited offers.

Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel said it rejected the offer because ClevelandCliffs was pushing it to accept the terms without being allowed to conduct proper due diligence.

“At this juncture, we cannot determine whether your unsolicited proposal properly reflects the full and fair value of the Company. For all of the above reasons, the Board has no choice but to reject your unreasonable proposal,” U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt said in a letter, released Aug. 13, to Cleveland Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves.

Cleveland-Cliffs announced earlier Aug. 13 that it had made an offer valuing the U.S. Steel at $7.3 billion, based on $17.50 a share in cash and 1.023 shares of Cliffs stock. Cleveland-Cliffs said the value of the offer was $35 a share, a premium over U.S. Steel’s closing stock price of $22.72 on Friday. The company said it decided to reveal the private offer after U.S. Steel rejected it.

Burritt had revealed in an earlier statement that company received several unsolicited offers and had launched “a comprehensive and thorough review of strategic alternatives.” U.S. Steel, which said it expects to receive more proposals, said there was no guarantee that any deal would emerge from the review process.

Burritt said the offers are “a vali-

dation of U.S. Steel’s strategy” of transformation, including expanding its electric arc furnace steelmaking and finishing capabilities.

Cleveland-Cliffs said its proposal, first made on July 28, would create a company that would be among the 10 biggest steelmakers in the world and one of the top four outside of China. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves said in a statement that the proposal would create “lower-cost, more innovative and stronger domestic supplier for our customers,” and that he stands ready to engage on it despite U.S. Steel’s rejection.

Goncalves said the company’s offer has the support of the United Steelworkers union, which has 14,000 members at Cleveland-Cliffs and 11,000 at U.S. Steel. In a letter of support posted to the company’s website, the union said the company was “in the best position to ensure that U.S. based manufacturing remains strong in this country” and praised the company for not cutting union jobs when it acquired AK Steel in 2019 and ArcelorMittal in 2020.

Cleveland-Cliffs is the largest producer of flat-rolled steel and iron in North America. U.S. Steel has been a symbol of industrialization since it was founded in 1901 by J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and others, though its stock price has struggled in recent years as steel prices have fluctuated.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Adria Russell, of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and Isaac Dechow, of Centre County, Pennsylvania were recently awarded scholarships through the Dairy Excellence Foundation’s Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow Program.

The students were recognized with the scholarships after completing and passing at least one of the Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow certification exams and associated coursework during their high school careers. As college freshmen for the 2023-24 school year, both Russell and Dechow received a $3,000 scholarship to support their academic studies in dairy-related fields.

Russell is a freshman studying animal science at Pennsylvania State University. With both sets of her grandparents owning dairy farms, she developed an interest in animals and agriculture growing up in Huntingdon County. She began by showing Holstein dairy cattle in 4-H and FFA at her local fairs and moved on to regional, state-based and national shows over time.

Throughout her high school career, Russell also held various leadership roles including the Commanding Officer of the Juniata Valley Marching Band and Regional 4-H Camp Counselor. Through the Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow program, she attended several hands-on Exploration Experiences where she discovered she enjoyed working in a lab setting instead of directly on the farm. This ignited her interest in the genetics side of the dairy industry. Adria’s goal is to become an IVF embryologist and push dairy breeds to the next level.

Dechow is a freshman studying pharmacology and toxicology in the college of agriculture at Pennsylvania State University. Dechow spent time on his grandfather’s dairy farm where he trains cows and leads them at the county fair. He also owns a herd of dairy goats that he milks and breeds.

As FFA President and Senior Class President, Dechow gained experience with forming leadership teams, public speaking and marketing and selling chapter products for FFA. The Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow Program helped Isaac gain a better understanding of the decisions farmers make on a day-to-day basis and how the body systems of a cow work. His goal after college is to work as a toxicologist in an animal-related field to ensure dairy or other farm-related products are safe for consumption.

The Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow program is managed by the Dairy Excellence Foundation and impacts more than 25,000 high school students each school year.

To qualify for the scholarship, students must be enrolled in a college beginning in the fall following their graduation from high school. This year’s recipients were selected based on their academic performance, evidence of leadership, character and integrity and their commitment to pursuing a future career in dairy. To learn more about the program, visit www. dairyleadersoftomorrow.com or contact Michelle Shearer at mshearer@ centerfordairyexcellence.org or 570768-8316. The 2024 scholarship application will be available on March 1.

AG Yost sues construction company

COLUMBIA STATION, Ohio —

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is suing a northeast Ohio construction company and its owners accused of pocketing more than $289,000 in consumers’ money while failing to complete construction projects.

The lawsuit, filed Aug. 8, against Diamond Ridge Construction Services and owners Thomas Boyd and Brian Stepp alleges multiple violations of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and the Ohio Home Construction Service Supplies Act. The suit was filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.

Diamond Ridge operates out of 27102 Royalton Road in Columbia Station and specializes in home construction services.

The Attorney General’s Office responded to thirteen consumers who lodged complaints against Diamond Ridge for a staggering cumulative loss of $289,337.17, arising from contracts made from April 6, 2022, to March 31.

The complaints detail the following stories:

• One consumer reported the completion of their project, only to find out that a subcontractor placed a lien on their property due to nonpayment from Diamond Ridge.

• Another individual was working with a general contractor who abruptly stopped the project, attributing the halt to Stepp and Boyd’s non-payment.

• Others voiced their concerns over projects that remained stagnant or were started but not finished, with no refunds issued.

• Some consumers were forced to pay large down payments, coupled with contracts that failed to provide important details.

• A pattern of Stepp and Boyd failing to obtain the appropriate contractor registration permits.

In 2018, the Attorney General’s Office secured a default judgment and permanent injunction against Stepp and his home improvement company Ashley Contractors, underscoring Stepp’s prior involvement in bad activities. Yost’s lawsuit seeks to have Diamond Ridge, Stepp and Boyd reimburse consumers and pay civil penalties and court costs.

W.Va. bill gives funds for firefighting equipment

BECKLEY, W.Va — Gov. Jim Justice held a ceremony Aug. 14 at the West Virginia Division of Forestry Region Four Headquarters in Beckley, where he signed SB 1032, providing $4 million toward new firefighting equipment.

During the signing, Justice also announced the Region Four office will be renamed the Cody J. Mullens Region Four Headquarters. Mullens, 28, of Mount Hope was killed in the line of duty in April when a tree fell on him while working to contain a forest fire in Fayette County. His family was present at the event and received ceremonial bills in his honor.

These funds will be used to purchase equipment to assist WV DOF foresters in fighting wildfires, such as woodland dozers, fire engines, water tank trucks, utility terrain vehicles and thermal drones.

In addition to protecting West Virginia’s forests and fighting wildfires, crews from WV DOF volunteer to assist with wildfire relief efforts in other states. Recently, a crew left Aug. 1 to help with wildfire suppression in Montana. The team is assisting the Northern Rockies GACC contain a fire at the Tin Soldier Complex in the Flathead National Forest.

They say it’s a matter of geography. People in the South and Midwest call them lightning bugs. Those in New England and the West call them fireflies.

Growing up in Ohio, summer nights were spent with a jar in one hand, while deftly nabbing lightning bugs out of the air with the other.

I was pretty darn good at it too. An evening of vigorous catching usually yielded about 50 insects.

My mom always let me set the jar on the nightstand beside my bed. It was amazing how much light that many glowing bugs in one location could emit. One night, I thought it would be fun to unscrew the lid and release them into my room. Needless to say, it did not go over well.

Lightning bugs and fireflies. The names “firefly” and “lightning bug” can be used interchangeably because they are the same entity. Yet interestingly, they are neither a fly nor a bug.

Flies belong to the order Diptera, while bugs belong to the order Hemiptera. Lightning bugs are actually beetles belonging to the order Coleoptera. A distinguishing characteristic of insects in this order is the hard outer wing coverings. When a lightning bug prepares for flight, it first lifts these coverings to release the delicate wings that are folded beneath, allowing for liftoff to occur.

Within the order of beetles, fireflies belong to the family Lampyridae. Insects in this order have soft

bodies, flattened head shields and light-producing organs either in the larval or adult stage or both. It is this final characteristic that gives the insect its name and draws fascination from all who witness it.

Bioluminescence (“bio” = living, “lumin” = light) is a chemical reaction that occurs within an organism that results in the production and emission of light. Most often recognized in marine creatures, this phenomenon also occurs in fungi as well as insects.

Firefly bioluminescence results from a complex chemical reaction involving a compound called luciferin and the enzyme luciferase in the presence of oxygen. This is unique because it produces light without heat. Worldwide, there are over 2000 species of lightning bugs. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. Here in the U.S., the majority are found in the eastern half of the country.

Ohio state senator hosts fishing clinic

Earlier this month, state Senator Vernon Sykes, D-Akron, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, resumed his annual fishing clinic at Portage Lakes Fishing Area. Nearly 30 children from the Boys and Girls Club of Northeast Ohio and the Akron Area YMCA attended the fishing clinic at Portage Lakes. Children were able to view and learn about electrofishing, casting and using fishing poles; paint and create fish-related artwork and test out their fishing skills at the reservoirs on the lake. Paused by the pandemic, this is the first fishing clinic that Sykes and Ohio Department of Natural Resources have hosted since 2019. The partnership between Sykes and ODNR dates back to his time as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. (Submitted photo)

Tangled osprey rescued from tree

MINERAL CITY, Ohio —

Thanks to community cooperation and concern for wildlife, a distressed osprey was successfully rescued after becoming entangled in fishing line high up in a tree at Atwood Lake.

The rescue mission, led by Atwood Park Staff, Muskingum Watershed Conservatory District Rangers, Dellroy Fire Department and DH Land Clearing, took place near Dellroy, in Carroll County.

A nearby resident noticed the

osprey struggling in the tree and alerted local authorities. The osprey had been ensnared in discarded fishing line, leaving it unable to free itself.

Rescuers managed to safely reach the distressed osprey and carefully remove the entangling fishing line. Following the successful rescue, the osprey was transported to Stark Park’s Wildlife Conservation Center where it is being cared for to ensure its health and well-being.

The osprey has a swollen leg

where the line was wrapped but is bearing weight on it, “so that is a good sign,” said Stephon Echague, animal care supervisor for the center. If he continues to show improvements, he will be released back into the wild soon, Echague said.

Fishing line disposal bins are located at the public launch ramps and various locations at each of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District lakes. Additionally, residents are encouraged to report any wildlife in distress to local authorities.

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Bechler Meadows Memory

August and September reminds me of when I was a teen. We’d be loading horses tight without a smidgen in between.

The horses filled our 69 cornbinder to the gills, while roaring with each shift of gears and heading for the hills.

Bechler Meadows campground in the hills of Yellowstone is where we’d set up camp and for a week we’d be alone.

We saddled well broke geldings for the fishermen to ride. Pack horses carried gear in canvas bags hung from their side.

Dad would ride old Shortcut as the lead to set the pace. We’d be scattered hell to breakfast if a horse should break to race.

I’d be riding Stretch, and always bringing up the rear, while leading three pack horses with the fish and camping gear.

We’d cross the Bechler River then our campsite came to view. There weren’t a soul for miles. ‘Twas a campers’ dream come true.

The cook tent wasn’t spacious, but was large enough to fit a wood stove and the campsite table big enough for six.

The horses would be grazing on their Bechler Meadows food. While the cook tent would be wafting smells to get you in the mood.

That night around the table we’d have steak and spuds to eat, with homemade butter slathered on the hand-picked corn so sweet.

The men all played Gin Rummy and while adding up the points would share Kentucky Bourbon just to “loosen up their joints.”

We’d talk about the River, how their fishing trip came true. I’d warn about the bear sign that we’d seen while packing through.

The risk of seeing grizzlies wouldn’t keep the men away. I could see excitement in their eyes. Then off to hit the hay.

I’d make a final check on horses’ halters tied up tight. And pray that not a hungry bear would visit in the night.

An old bull elk would sound his bugle. Others chimed on in. They’d bugle into daylight making sleep a might too thin.

I’d stoke the stove with split pinewood. Then hit the Coleman light. And try to sleep while listening to the Bechler Meadows night.

(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.)

Nature’s night lights make summers special

In Ohio, we have around 24 different species. I can take a walk down my driveway in early July as darkness is setting in and easily see 8-10 species without any effort. How can I tell them apart? Each species has its own unique display. This includes flash pattern, flash color and height above the ground.

Identifying different types. The most common species in the genus Photinus lights up about 2 feet above the vegetation. Holding its vivid yellow light on, it dips downward into the grass, and then pops back up, forming the letter ‘J,’ earning it the nickname “Big Dipper.”

Another species displays at about 8 feet up. While moving in a straight line, it blinks one-two-three, pauses a few seconds, and continues across the field blinking a much whiter light, one-two-three, one-two-three.

Just inside the wood edge, another species with an orange light blinks at about 3 feet above the ground. This happens so quickly that you must watch intently or you might miss it.

Yet another, fast traveler at about 12 feet up, holds its light on for several seconds creating a long, bright streak. These “streakers” remind me of meteors.

Mating. The main reason that fireflies blink is their desire to find a mate. Males, who do their blinking while in flight, keep an eye out for responding females that are hiding within the vegetation. Once located, a male and female will blink their own unique flash pattern back and forth to each other, while the male

draws closer and closer. Finally, the two unite and tie the knot.

But things aren’t always that romantic. Although most species feed on pollen and nectar, females in the genus Photuris have developed an incredible way to obtain their meal. Imitating the flash patterns of other female species, they deceptively draw in a male, only to pounce on and devour him. Life and death situations such as these occur throughout the night and throughout the season.

Lightning bugs have a complete life cycle which includes egg, larvae, pupa and adult. After mating has occurred, the female deposits around 100 eggs near the surface of moist soil, under leaf litter or on vegetation. After a period of 3-4 weeks, the larvae hatch.

Glowworms. As the adult light show above ground begins to fade, the larvae begin their late summer displays. Known as glowworms, they sport flattened segments and overlapping plates, that extend to the back and sides.

As they travel nocturnally across the ground in search of their favorite prey, worms and snails, they emit a glow that can be seen from several feet away. Now is the time to take a nighttime stroll and watch these glowing worms put on a show along driveways and wood edges.

Glowworms will remain active throughout the winter, burrowing into the soil the following spring where they will form pupae that will hatch into adult fireflies within a few weeks.

Help declining populations. Sadly, firefly populations are in sharp de-

Glowworms remain active throughout the winter, burrowing into the soil the following spring where they will form pupae that will hatch into adult fireflies within a few weeks. (Tami

cline throughout the world. Loss of habitat, chemical lawn applications, climate change and light pollution are all factors that are taking a toll on this unique insect species. Setting aside a part of your yard to remain undisturbed or putting in a garden will provide the insects with some much-needed habitat. Turning off outdoor lights at night will cut down interference with their mating displays. Eliminating the use of pesticides will allow their larvae to survive and thrive.

Working together, we can all do our part to ensure that future generations of children all get the op-

portunity to romp through the evening air, a jar in one hand, nabbing lightning bugs with the other. And maybe, just maybe, mischievously unscrewing the lid as they sit on the nightstand next to the bed!

LOUDONVILLE, Ohio — The annual Mohican Crawdad Hunt, hosted by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Divisions of Natural Areas and Preserves and Division of Parks and Watercraft, will be Aug. 26 beginning at 11 a.m.

Visitors will be able to explore the beauty of the Mohican River’s Clear Fork and learn all about the macroinvertebrates, such as crawdads and other critters that call this state scenic river home. Ohio Scenic River staff and Mohican State Park naturalists will be joined by the Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District to provide a variety of educational activities for all ages.

One of the day’s highlights is the “crawdad race” where visitors will see and learn how crawdads, also known as crayfish, swim backward in water. See live specimens of different species of crayfish and bring your questions to ask the crayfish experts.

Participants will be able to learn about this Ohio animal, which is related to the lobster, and will also be able to sample a savory crawfish boil.

Attendees are encouraged to wear close-toed shoes to explore the river and catch a crawdad or two.

The event will be held across from the Class A shelter house at Mohican State Park, 3116 state Route 3.

Kids and cops play and learn at Natural Resources Park

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Central

Ohio kids partnered with law enforcement on Aug. 10 to learn more about nature and the great outdoors. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources hosted a day of adventure at The Natural Resources Park as part of its partnership with Starfish Assignment.

The event brought together children from different Columbus community centers and other organizations and teamed them up with ODNR Natural Resources Officers, ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers and Columbus Police Officers.

The kids took a tour of the park’s geology walk, learned archery, held crayfish, strolled through the tall grass prairie and more. About 200

children participated in outdoor fun at the Natural Resources Park on the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The children came from Columbus Recreation and Parks community centers, the Salvation Army, MY Project USA, The Brian Muha Foundation and other organizations.

ODNR has also partnered with Starfish Assignment for the Books and Badges program, where Natural Resources Officers visit students in grades K-5 to read engaging stories. Each student receives a copy of the book and can get that book signed by the Natural Resources Officer. Starfish Assignment is an all-volunteer nonprofit devoted to strengthening the bonds between law enforcement and the community.

Geauga SWCD holds rain barrel auction

CHARDON, Ohio — The Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District has rolled out its 2023 Rain Barrel Yard Art Campaign.

Through this community initiative, five local artists have transformed 55-gallon recycled plastic barrels into beautiful, repurposed rain barrels that uniquely reflect Geauga County’s natural, cultural, agricultural or historical resources.

The decorated barrels being auctioned off will help save water, alleviate flooding and reduce stormwater pollution by collecting rooftop run-

off to water landscapes. They are available for bidding until 3 p.m. on Oct. 30.

Minimum bids start at $125, and all bids will include the 6.75% required sales tax.

Interested parties can view the decorated barrels, ready their stories and submit bids at https://www. geaugaswcd.com/education/rainbarrels/.

Proceeds from the auction will support the Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District’s education programs.

Research uses microbes to understand Lake Erie algae

TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio Sea Grant researchers at The University of Toledo spent the past two summers collecting samples of various bacteria and algae at sites across the region’s shoreline to study microbe diversity. The tiny organisms are critical to Lake Erie’s ecosystems, providing energy for the entire aquatic food web through photosynthesis.

Trisha Spanbauer, assistant professor of environmental sciences at The University of Toledo, and her team first collected aquatic microbes from nine sample sites representing different nearby land uses and shoreline management techniques, such as jetties and seawalls built to control erosion. Sites ranged from areas with agricultural and industrial impact near Toledo to intact wetlands farther east such as Old Woman Creek. Researchers then conducted DNA analysis on the samples to dis-

tinguish by species, genus or family and quantify the diversity of the “microbiome.” The study used an efficient process called high-throughput sequencing, which allows many DNA fragments to be sequenced at once.

The team is now beginning to analyze all the data they collected, Spanbauer said. Results will help identify environments on the lake that are resilient or vulnerable to environmental perturbation. Information will be provided to partner agencies, including the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Coastal Management Office and the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve.

While no results from the study are final, preliminary data suggests that silica — in addition to documented factors like temperature and stratification — may influence competition among algae that results in

harmful algal blooms. Silica is a compound of silicon and oxygen that makes up minerals like quartz and sandstone and has a high prevalence in the Great Lakes.

Thanks to the project, Spanbauer’s team also started a new community science initiative called ERIeDNA, which involves University of Toledo students and local residents in the research process. Through “BioBlitzes,” participants collect water from nearby sources, filter it and then return the filter to the researchers for analysis. Spanbauer plans to grow the program and make kits that people can use to collect and filter water samples. Webinar. Those interested can learn more about this Sea Grantfunded research during Spanbauer’s Freshwater Science webinar Oct. 31 from 12 to 12:30 p.m.

Keep your septic system working well

By James Dulley

Dear James: We have a septic system at our small farmhouse. It would be convenient to add a garbage disposal in the kitchen. Can we use a garbage disposal with a septic system?

— Joyce D.

Dear Joyce: That is a myth that a garbage disposal cannot be used with a modern septic system. Even in major developed cities, there are millions of homes with septic systems and the majority of them have garbage disposals in their kitchens.

The only possible issue could be from foods with extremely high fat and/or grease concentrations; otherwise, your garbage disposal should not cause problems. In fact, it may help the “good” bacteria base thrive in the septic tank to break down human wastes and other particles.

The worst problems are often caused by household cleaners, antibacterial soaps, solvents, etc. that kill some of the beneficial bacteria in the septic tank. Without enough good bacteria, the entire septic system can become ineffective.

It helps to understand how a typical septic system works. There are two basic components: the tank and the drainfield. The tank, usually in the 750-to-1,500-gallon range (larger families require larger tanks), holds the waste.

WORD SEARCH ANSWERS

In the tank, the bacteria begin the process of breaking down the liquid wastes and the tiny particles. The various components of the waste naturally separate in the septic tank. A small amount will sink to the bottom, and this must be cleaned out on a regular basis.

If your septic tank is not operating properly because of a poor bacteria base, a lot of waste particles begin to settle to the bottom and become sludge. As the tank fills with sludge, there is less room for liquids, so the problem rapidly worsens. A professional cleaning will be required.

The tank is connected to the drainfield with perforated pipe. These pipes are surrounded by gravel and soil. As the liquids leave the tank, they flow through the pipes and out into the gravel area. Here, more natural bacteria have time to slowly break down the rest of the wastes into harmless liquids.

If you are really a heavy garbage disposal user when you cook and you

are concerned, InSinkErator makes a special garbage disposal for septic systems. It has a snap-on Bio-Charge cartridge that automatically dispenses enzymes that are beneficial to the good bacteria.

There are many septic tank additives advertised to help make your septic system function better. Some help and others may hurt the bacteria. Several that the State of Washington tested and found safe are Microbe Lift, www.microbeliftstore.com; Obsession Products, www. obsessionproducts.com and Rid-X, www.rid-x.com.

TIPS

Here are some basic tips to keep your septic system functioning properly. Don’t flush solid items that take up space in the septic tank and reduce the water volume. These items include sanitary napkins, sand, cat litter, cigarette butts, etc.

Space out your water usage throughout the day. This reduces

large flows of wastewater into the tank that may force partially brokendown wastes out into the drainfield pipes. A heavy load of particles can ruin your drainfield over time.

Minimize the amount of cooking grease that goes down the drain. Catch excessive fats and grease in jars and put them out in the trash. If you have wildlife in your area, put them outside and the animals will come to eat them.

It is important to have grass or some type of vegetation growing over the drainfield area. The bacteria near plant roots plus the soil aeration from the roots helps to thoroughly break down the wastes.

Make sure the drainpipe from your gutters does not terminate in the drainfield area.

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.
