University of Pittsburgh cuts ribbon at western Pa. solar farm

Ohioans can help find Asian longhorned beetles

By Sarah Donaldson sarah@farmanddairy.com

If you come across a tree with dead branches, sawdust-like material on the ground around it, shallow scars in bark or small, dime-sized holes in it, take a closer look. Those things could be signs of Asian longhorned beetles.

The wood-boring beetles are an invasive species that kill the trees they feed on. Tens of thousands of trees in Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Illinois have been lost since the beetle was found in the U.S. in 1996, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture factsheet.

CLINTON, Pa. — Don and Barb Craig were not interested in leasing their farmland for solar energy. The couple ignored the letters in the mail and the phone calls that came next.

It wasn’t until their neighbor stopped by that they thought twice about the land agents who had been hounding them with offers to lease their land.

Duane Miller had been carefully considering the offers for solar leases from the land agents. He had solar panels powering his farm already, so he was keenly interested in leasing his land for large-scale solar development. Miller needed the Craigs to sign up their abutting land in

order for a project to move forward.

“I said, ‘If they’re that interested, they’ll show up at the door,’” Don recalled telling Miller. A few days later, an agent knocked on the front door, Don Craig said.

That was more than five years ago. Now the Craigs’ and Millers’ farmland is a sea of glass solar panels, producing an estimated 35,700 megawatt hours of electricity to the University of Pittsburgh each year to help it reach its sustainability goals. The solar farm consists of 55,000 panels spread across 68 acres on the line between Beaver and Allegheny counties.

Representatives from Vesper Energy, the company that developed and operates the

project, and the University of Pittsburgh cut a ribbon during a ceremony Aug. 16 to celebrate the project’s completion.

“Our partnership with Vesper on the Gaucho solar array demonstrates Pitt’s commitment to not just purchasing renewable electricity, but purchasing local renewable electricity that has cascading local, economic and environmental benefits,” said Aurora Sharrard, Pitt’s Executive Director of Sustainability.

The project is the first Vesper has completed in western Pennsylvania. The Dallas-based energy company is developing another solar project in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania

A Pennsylvania study suggests links between fracking and asthma, lymphoma in children

By Marc Levy Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Children who lived closer to natural gas wells in heavily drilled western Pennsylvania were more likely to develop a relatively rare form of cancer, and nearby residents of all ages had an increased chance of severe asthma reactions, researchers said in reports released Aug. 15.

The taxpayer-funded research by the University of Pittsburgh adds to a body of evidence suggesting links between the gas industry and

certain health problems. In the reports, the researchers found what they called significant associations between gas industry activity and two ailments: asthma, and lymphoma in children, who are relatively rarely diagnosed with this type of cancer.

The researchers were unable to say whether the drilling caused the health problems, because the studies weren’t designed to do that. Instead, the researchers combed health records to try to determine possible associations based on how close people lived to natural gas wells, while industry groups pointed to what they say are

weaknesses of the studies’ assumptions and the limitations of its data.

The reports were released at the start of a public meeting held Aug. 15 in Washington County to discuss the findings, hosted by the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and the state Department of Health. At the meeting, community activists and distressed parents urged department officials and Pitt researchers to do more to protect public health as gas drilling continues to expand.

The USDA is asking Ohioans to keep an eye out for the beetles and the damage they cause, especially this month as they emerge from trees.

“[Infestation confirmations] pretty much all have been through public findings — people reaching out to extension agencies saying ‘hey, my tree is covered in holes … can you help me figure out why?’” said Kyle Costilow, acting director of the USDA’s Ohio ALB eradication program.

Beetles. Asian longhorned beetles arrive in the United States primarily through international trade. There are currently quarantines in Ohio, New York, South Carolina and Massachusetts. The beetles were first confirmed in Ohio in 2011.

They spend the majority of their lifecycle as larvae within trees, Costilow said.

“The larva can stay in larval form for several years,” he said. Then they come out to reproduce and lay eggs back in the trees. August is the time when people are most likely to see the beetles themselves, as the adult beetles emerge from the trees.

“This is when we have peak flight season,” Costilow said. Infestations. The beetles infest 12 different species of hardwood trees, including maple, birch, elm, ash, willow and more.

“With it doing damage in the heartwood of the tree, it removes timber value and a lot of the structural integrity of trees,” Costilow said. “That’s our concern.”

Time for forage inventory

Garth Ruff All About Grazing

As usual, Ohio weather has been highly variable across the state during the forage growing season. Luckily, at least in southeastern Ohio, we have been blessed with ample moisture thus far, and pastures continue to be in decent shape.

As fall approaches, this time of year is as good as any to evaluate your forage resources and determine if you’re going to have enough forage into August and beyond. Seems like due to dry weather this spring, hay was made timely. That is positive with regard to quality; however, tonnage may be a concern.

1. Stockpiling fescue. This timetested option works well in Ohio and is beginning to look more attractive as nitrogen prices come down from their highs earlier in the year. It only takes around 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre to see an increased dry matter yield in stockpiled fescue.

While getting a bit late, there is still time to consider stockpiling and taking advantage of fall regrowth by removing cattle or mowing off seed heads. Typically done with fescue, stockpiled forage can extend the grazing season into late fall and early winter. Consider stockpiled fields as potential calving/lambing sites.

2. Load the bus. Livestock prices remain very strong, and on the beef side of things, it looks to be that way for some time given the drought in the West. Even so, culling non-productive females can help if feed is in short supply.

Pregnancy checking is an easyto-do and cost-effective measure, yet it is a highly under-utilized tool. Identify pregnant and non-pregnant

females and make the first round of culling decisions based on pregnancy status. Non-pregnant or open females can negate potential profits.

Evaluate those who are pregnant for structure, temperament and performance. Those who don’t check all the boxes should be first in line for the one-way bus trip to town.

Utilize body condition scoring at weaning. Cull cows that struggle to maintain body condition. If feed is available, mid-gestation is a prime time to provide extra resources to improve BCS.

3. Manage pasture weeds. Seems like pasture weeds are as healthy as ever. The ones that stand out in my mind are cocklebur and hemp dogbane. Cocklebur fortunately is easily controlled with most of our available broadleaf herbicides, while hemp dogbane is a bit hardier. Remember that once the plant — especially if it is a perennial — goes to seed, we have missed our window for mechanical weed control.

4. Consider hay inventory. Feed old hay first. If pastures are looking short, now is a time to consider feeding some of that leftover hay from 2022, especially if it’s dry hay that has been stored outdoors. We should feed lower-quality hay to those dry females in mid-gestation.

Significant dry matter has already been lost to the elements and those bales will continue to lose nutrients and value as they weather.

5. Winter annuals. Oats planted after Aug. 1, and triticale, wheat and rye, planted in early to mid-October, make for great spring grazing with the potential to make stored baleage or silage as well. As a beef team, we have several resources available regarding raising winter annual forages.

Saying goodbye to travel season

my destination. Except for some bumps and bruises I was fine, but my beloved blue Subaru was not.

The car was deemed a total loss, and the next two months were extremely frustrating as we battled the insurance company, attempted to find a new vehicle to replace the old one (a tall order when you live many hours from a major metropolitan area) and I tried to finish the summer run of shows without a car.

Eliza Blue

Little Pasture on the Prairie

Last summer, the kids and I drove to and from Minnesota twice, across the state of South Dakota many times over, and to the Pacific Ocean and back.

This kind of travel has become part of our yearly rhythm. We are homebound three seasons a year, but make up for it during the hottest months. Summer is when I get to remember why I loved being a fulltime touring musician and also when I get to remember why I stopped.

The run to the West Coast and back was bookended by shows on the other side of the state, and while I’d adopted a marathoner pace, the kids had not.

Turns out, older kids were harder to travel with than younger ones. I decided it best to leave them home with their dad while I played the last show in that particular leg of travel, which meant making a 10-hour round trip in less than 24 hours.

I hit a deer just before I reached

When autumn finally arrived, so did a new-to-us Subaru, which mostly sat in the driveway. Spring came, travel started up again and so did my car woes. The first two major travel obligations in June began with car problems, the second of which left me stranded in Mandan, North Dakota, where I had to be rescued by my mother.

July brought a third, unrelated problem that delayed a departure and caused a show to be postponed. Thankfully, August seemed to be going better until last Friday, when I set off in the first light of dawn to drive to Sioux Falls and ended up hitting another deer 20 minutes from the ranch.

Unlike the accident last summer, I saw this deer coming. I was inches away from it being a near miss, but those inches were enough to mean that instead of continuing to drive, I was left on the side of the highway watching the sun come up as I waited for a ride home.

Whereas last year I felt lucky to have walked away from a totaled car relatively unscathed, this year I just felt deflated.

When I called the promoter to tell him there was no way I was going to make it to Sioux Falls in time for the

show, he was very gracious. “Maybe the universe is trying to send you a message,” he added nonchalantly.

“It sure seems that way, doesn’t it,” I replied.

I’ve been ending a lot of my columns lately without offering a satisfying conclusion, and maybe that’s because it feels like I’m in the messy middle of many different story arcs right now.

The shows I played last week for the new album release were some of the most satisfying of my professional career, and I’m more proud of and excited about this album than anything I’ve previously released. But, yes, it certainly does seem like the universe is telling me if I continue traveling I am doing so at my own peril.

Meanwhile, our new colt arrived last week and the garden is overflowing with tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs that all need to be put by for winter, so there’s plenty to do around the ranch now that I once again don’t have a vehicle. Plus, yesterday it felt like autumn, and the grove of cottonwood trees in my little pasture has its first golden leaves already. In other words, the season of travel is almost over anyway, which probably has the deer county-wide sighing a breath of relief.

Event to show pigs and silvopasture

MOHRSVILLE, Pa. — The public is invited to see regenerative agriculture in practice at an on-farm workshop from 1-3 p.m. Sept. 17 at Skyline Pastures, in Berks County.

Army National Guard soldier Charles Lafferty and his wife Tanya will host the event. Charles Lafferty is the recipient of a Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grant to pilot his twoyear silvopasture project at his farm in Berks County. The project seeks to answer the question of whether under-utilized forest or brush areas that currently serve only as windbreaks and dividers for row-cropped fields can be effectively managed for pastured swine.

The goal of the undertaking is to create a replicable system for farmers to use wooded areas of their farms to raise pigs, improve fertility in wooded areas, increase productivity and add a profitable enterprise to their existing businesses. At the Sept. 17 event at Skyline Pastures, attendees will walk the land to see the year one progress, ask questions, and learn how the success will be measured.

Joining the Laffertys will be John Hopkins, of Susquehanna Tree Service. Hopkins, a professional forester and farmer, has spent the past 35 years developing pastures and silvopasture at Forks Farm grazing cattle, horses, goats, hogs and poultry with the goal of using the power of grazing animals combined with forestry practices to manage sunlight and convert forest land into productive silvopasture capable of producing healthy food, traditional forest products and wildlife habitat.

As the technical advisor for the project, Hopkins is providing guidance from a forestry perspective to document outcomes, and to make recommendations for managing the forest overstory and understory in order to maximize solar gain and forage production.

Workshop attendees will learn how to conduct a basic forest inventory, how to measure forest density and how density affects forage production in a silvopasture system.

Also on the agenda are methods of managing forest overstory to maximize solar gain for improved tree growth and improved forage pro-

duction. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required as space is limited. RSVP at pavetfarms.org/events.

Guebert: August reports show a continued loss of exports

According to the FAS, this coming year’s U.S. soybean exports will extend their four-year slide from 61.6 million metric tons in 2020/21 to 49.7 mmt for 2023/24. That 11.9 mmt drop translates into 440 million bu. less U.S. soybeans going overseas this coming year than just four short years ago. And it’s not because the world (principally, China) is importing fewer soybeans; total year-to-year world soybean imports are pretty stable at 165-166 mmt.

Farm & Food File

There was a time when the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s August Crop Production report was more feared by American farmers than any paste-colored Soviet leader with a shaky finger near the nuclear launch button.

Now, however, the August report generates more yawns than yips.

So it was again Aug. 11 when USDA’s first detailed look of the 2023 corn/soybean production year confirmed what most farmers already suspected: Almost everyone in American agriculture will be dealing with lower prices, shrinking profits and tighter belts for much of the upcoming marketing year.

Still even tougher — if not as well-reported — soybean market news arrived the same day in USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service’s Oilseeds: World Markets and Trade report.

Soybeans. The bad-news portion of that report showed just how little total U.S. soybean exports have moved compared to how far Brazilian soybean exports have soared since the 2020/21 crop year.

Brazil’s simple trick is no trick at all; it just takes market share, almost at will, through price. In 2020/21, for example, Brazil exported 81.6 mmt of soybeans. This coming year, FAS estimates Brazil will export a whopping 96.5 mmt, an increase of 545 million bu. — or 105 million bu. more than the total bushels lost by the U.S. — in the last four years.

Overall decline. Despite that loss, U.S. soybean exports are still in better shape in today’s global market than other big American ag exports like corn, wheat, cotton and milled rice. In a striking and informative Aug. 11 video presentation by farmdocDAILY, Joana Colussi compared 2022 U.S. exports for the four crops to their 2017-2022 average exports.

The results were stark. U.S. corn exports last year were 25% lower than their five-year average, wheat’s 2022 exports were off 16%, cotton down 16%, and milled rice down 31%. Soybean exports over the same period were as flat as an anvil.

As revealing as those figures are, they are even worse when 2022 U.S. ag exports for all five crops are compared to what American export competitors sold. While our corn, wheat, cotton and rice exports were headed south, the rest of the world increased

its 2017-2022 exports — mostly at our expense — of corn by 10%, wheat by 16%, and rice by 17%.

And our soy competitors? The rest of the world increased their collective soybean exports by 11% over the five marketing years while ours just held steady. (The competitors’ cotton exports fell 11% while ours was off 16%. Worldwide, cotton continues to fall out of favor.)

Growing concerns. All these numbers point to two growing worries for the Biden White House, Congress and U.S. farm and commodity groups.

First, given our coming, morethan-enough corn and soybean crops, sagging exports and boundto-slip prices, the Biden Administration will be under increasing pressure to come up with creative ways to boost farm program payments when farm income inevitably slides and election-year politics just as inevitably pick up steam.

Second, how much more hard evidence do farm groups and Farm Bill writers need before they acknowledge that yesterday’s exportdirected, revenue insurance-heavy Farm Bills need revision for U.S. farmers to compete in today’s changing global markets?

And, no, America’s days as a major ag exporter aren’t over, but its days as the dominant player in the global corn, cotton, wheat, and rice markets likely are even as it clings to its part of the global soy market.

A forward-thinking farm bill would recognize that plain fact even if we choose not to.

Under the shade of beautiful, old trees, I was schooled by a 6-year-old on how to become a better football player.

“Ya gotta put your fingers in all the right spots on the football. If you don’t do that, nothin’ is going to go right,” my handsome little fellow told me. Coach Brooks told me how to stand, the importance of stepping forward and following through.

Then, he threw the football to

When I finally got it all together and sent a beauty sailing directly to my coach, his reaction is something I wish I had captured on a recording to lift me up on gloomy days.

“See? See?” he said with elation, his skinny little arms held to the heavens, “I knew you could do it!

If you KNOW you can do it, good things happen!”

I have been amazed throughout the lifetime of this little guy, my first grandchild. This summer has been just as transformative, watching him dive deep in our pool, his fearfulness of earlier years now replaced with exuberant self-confidence. It was pure joy to cheer him on when he was called to play a tournament baseball game with older boys, hitting a triple at a critical time in the big game.

Football is his latest endeavor, and he wants to share his knowledge and

his joy. Brooks told me to be ready; he was going to make a long throw to me. It came like a bullet, spiraling right to me. I held my ground and (thankfully!) made the catch.

“See? See what I told you! If you’re not afraid of the ball, good things happen!” the dynamo coach shouted with pure glee, jumping for joy. Pure positivity radiated from this miniature sports guru.

We practiced for a long time, (“because practice is the only thing that will make you a better player … and if you aren’t practicing, some other kids are, and they will get better and you won’t”) and eventually, I was able to throw to the fast-running little coach.

He insisted on reversing this, with me running and him throwing. Coach gave me repetitive pointers; I listened intently to each one, and I promised to give it my all.

My dreams for the future were crushed, as my coach sat me down and with great seriousness said, “Gigi, I don’t think you’re ever gonna make it as a running back.”

There’s always next year, right?

A new approach to farm succession

By David Marrison

Hello, northeast Ohio. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to speak at a conference for farm transition planners in Iowa. This conference brought together over 200 attorneys, tax specialists and other farm transition experts for learning, networking and idea sharing. This conference was sponsored by Iowa State University, the National Ag Law Center and Ohio State University.

While at the conference, I learned from professionals from around the country and was honored to present my thoughts on preparing farm families for the farm transition experience. I was able to share how OSU Extension is helping Ohio families develop transition and estate plans for their farms.

Farmers are very proficient at solving the day-to-day problems on their farms. When a problem arises, the cause is determined, potential solutions are developed and then action is taken. When it comes to fixing a broken piece of machinery or overcoming the latest crop disease or insect, the traditional problem-solving method works pretty efficiently and effectively.

However, farm succession does not always fit neatly into the “see a problem” and “fix the problem” process. So, what can be used to help farms start the process of planning for the future of their farm?

Appreciative Inquiry. In 2003, a team led by Chet Bowling, Marta Stone and Cheryle Jones Syracuse helped the Ashtabula County Commissioners’ vision for the future through the development of a county comprehensive plan. It was my first time to see a problem-solving method called “Appreciative Inquiry” used for futuristic planning.

The foundation of the AI process is collaboration. It builds on the positive aspects of a business rather than focusing solely on its problems and weaknesses. This approach can be a valuable and positive method for families as they plan for the succession of their farm to the next generation.

Often, we get the proverbial cart before the horse when it comes to succession and estate planning. We want to jump into the details of wills, trusts, business structures, transfer on death affidavits, probate, tax mitigation and how to divide the assets fairly before examining the longterm succession goals of the family.

Instead of jumping directly into estate planning, the AI approach starts with examining and appreciating the legacy of what has been (discovery phase) and then allows groups to envision what might be and dialogue about it (dream phase). This then leads to the family working collectively to plan what the future will be (design phase) and then ultimately to implementing the plan (destiny phase).

I encourage your family to think of how you can use the discovery and dream phases of appreciative inquiry to lay the foundation for developing your farm transition plan.

Discovery Phase. During this phase, family members come together to share stories and experiences of the farm’s successes and positive moments throughout its history. This allows everyone to acknowledge and appreciate the strengths, values and achievements that have contributed to the farm’s success.

What are your historical points of pride? What is your farm’s mission statement? I know of a farm family in Pandora, Ohio, that has its history on a hidden website that family members can access. It shares the family genealogy, 500 pages of a family member’s daily journal, and the history of their sugar camp, potato business and the construction details of the farmstead, barns, corn crib and sugar camp.

Dream Phase. In this phase, family members work together to envision the future they want for the farm. During this time, each member of your family shares their individual goals and aspirations for the farm. This could also be described as the brainstorming phase. Remember, in brainstorming, there are no wrong answers — just the generation of ideas.

Answers from Dairy Excel

In our OSU Extension workshops, we stress the importance of each generation having the ability to provide input. I think it will surprise you how much positive momentum can occur from everyone’s collective ideas.

So, as you embark on the farm transition and estate planning process, I encourage you to examine how appreciative inquiry can create a positive and collaborative environment for your planning. This will lead to a smoother and more successful transition of your farm to the next generation.

To close, I would like to share a quote from Jack Canfield who stated, “By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you’ve achieved — and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses — you actually can enhance everything about you. Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.”

Cranking up the heat

By Aaron Wilson

(Editor’s Note: This column is not a permanent replacement for Marlin Clark’s weekly grain market updates. He’ll be returning to this space as soon as he can.)

Ask around and most folks will agree that it has been a peculiar summer when it comes to the weather. Most headlines point out the heat, from Florida to the desert southwest, as the globe just experienced its warmest July on record (from 1850 to 2023).

For Ohio, we have benefited from numerous cool mornings and comfortable days, but the same northerly wind pattern also brought frequent wildfire smoke-filled skies to the region. Overall, temperatures since July 1 are running near to slightly below average. Along with the mild temperatures, the latter half of the summer has been considerably wetter than our start, with most areas of Ohio running well above average.

Community Collaborative Rain Hail & Snow Network observations over this time include reports of 13 to 14 inches of rain in parts of Brown, Clinton, Cuyahoga and Geauga Counties. On the flip side, dry conditions linger across portions of northwestern Ohio, where only

4 to 6 inches of rain has fallen over this same period in places like Putnam, Paulding and Allen Counties. For more information, check out the State Climate Office and sign up for C.O.R.N. Newsletter’s monthly and quarterly climate summaries.

FORECAST

A major pattern shift has brought strong high pressure to the region and a significant heatwave across the bulk of the central U.S. With Ohio on the eastern edge of this heatwave, temperatures this week will vary greatly from downwind Lake Erie in the northeast to Cincinnati.

Highs on Tuesday and Wednesday in the far northeastern counties will remain comfortable in the upper 70s to low 80s, while the southwestern half of the state bakes under 90- to 95-degree temperatures. There could be a few showers or storms across the northern counties on Tuesday through Thursday. The heat really pushes into Ohio on Thursday, where locations from Cincinnati to Dayton to Columbus could top 100 F. If these locations do hit 100 F, it will be the first time since the summer of 2012. Overnight lows throughout the period will remain in the upper 60s to mid-70s. High temperatures in the

90s will continue into Friday before a strong cold front and a few showers and storms usher in cooler air for the weekend. The current forecast shows 0.10 to 0.5 inches of rain is expected this week, with slightly heavier amounts in northeast Ohio.

The Climate Prediction Center’s 8-14 Day Outlook and the 16-Day Rainfall Outlook from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Weather Service/ Ohio River Forecast Center indicate that probabilities for temperatures and precipitation are leaning toward below average for the period of Aug. 29 to Sept. 4. For this time of year, the average high-temperature range is 81 F to 85 F, the average low-temperature range is 61 F to 64 F, and the average weekly total precipitation is about 0.70 to 0.80 inches.

What is growing in the hayfield?

pink to purple flower at the end of a long-stemmed, leafy arm. These flowers will appear in a bunch, covering a plant. They can grow anywhere from less than six inches in height, up to eighteen inches tall.

The Dirt on Conservation

I was in the office the other day when a gentleman came in with a bag of weeds wanting to know what was growing in his hayfield.

Weed identification is one of the biggest requests we get in the summer months. Weeds in the hayfield and pasture can be a nuisance, but when the weeds are invasive and trying to take over, they become a serious problem.

Some of the weeds producers in southeast Ohio have been fighting for a while now are spotted knapweed and hemp dogbane. If left untreated, both plants can take over and destroy a healthy stand.

Identification of such invasive plants is the first step in eradication.

Spotted knapweed. Spotted knapweed is often mistaken for plants like red clover and chicory, but it has some distinguishing characteristics that make it easier to identify, and then manage. Knapweed has a

Knapweed is biennial in nature, meaning that it doesn’t flower in the first year of establishment, rather it creates a rosette, which is just a clump of leaves. In the rosette stage, knapweed can be very difficult to identify, as the shape changes a bit in nature as the plant matures.

Although spotted knapweed is not necessarily toxic to livestock, it is still a weed that needs to be eradicated as soon as possible. Knapweed produces toxins at its roots which stunt the growth of nearby plants and displace native species. If left untreated, it won’t take long for spotted knapweed to destroy an otherwise healthy hayfield.

Hemp Dogbane. Hemp dogbane is closely related to common milkweed, but the leaves are smaller, and the stem is woody and branched in the upper half of the leaves. Their reddish stems contain a milky sap, and they have greenish-white flowers that develop into two long pods containing numerous seeds. Hemp dogbane is spread by seeds and rhizomes.

Though there is a belief that hemp dogbane is toxic to livestock, a recent study by OSU’s College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Science has proven that incorrect. While there are properties of hemp dogbane that have a toxic nature to both humans and animals, no re-

search has shown how those compounds work within the plant to make it truly a threat.

Management. Luckily there are ways to control spotted knapweed and hemp dogbane including herbicides and clipping. Several board-leaf herbicides are available without the need for a commercial applicator’s license.

However, there are considerations that each producer needs to think about when using chemicals to treat any weed. Some of those things may include hay restrictions, seeding restrictions and grazing restrictions. All these factors can be important parts of your operation and will vary from one producer to the next. Always follow the label when it comes to chemical application.

Mechanical means, like clipping or mowing, are not as effective on spotted knapweed as they are on hemp dogbane because they can bloom lower than the height of the mower deck. The key to mowing is to clip the weeds before the flower forms.

There is no simple answer to getting rid of invasive weeds. It may take several growing seasons, but persistence is the key. Many soil and water conservation districts have sprayers for rent to help with control. Contact your county’s soil and water or extension office for more in-depth advice and to help get an eradication plan in place.

Field day to look at crop and livestock integration

APPLE CREEK, Ohio — Fertilizer prices, soil health concerns, and extreme weather events have led many Ohio row crop growers to consider the benefits and barriers of adding manure, perennial crops in rotation and other livestock production elements to their row crop operations. An Ohio State research project has spent the last year and a half working with farmers to study the economic and en-

20 23

vironmental tradeoffs associated with different approaches to integrating livestock and row crop production.

The research team has collected onfarm samples and interview data from 31 Ohio farms to compare outcomes associated with different levels of crop and livestock integration. Members of the community are welcome to review and discuss results from the study’s first growing season at a project field day

SCHEDULE FOR

from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 30, at 12892 Western Road, Apple Creek, Ohio.

The field day will feature a panel of farmers and conversationists about strategies and approaches to crop and livestock integration, as well as soil health study results and a catered meal. For more information, register online at go.osu.edu/IDEAS23Field Day. There is no cost to attend but registration is requested.

Ohioans can help find Asian longhorned beetles

When the USDA confirms an infestation, the next step is to inspect trees in the area, and then remove any infested trees at no cost to the landowner, Costilow said.

The current quarantine zone in Ohio is in Clermont County. In Ohio, maples are the bugs’ favorite host tree. Clermont County has a lot of old farmland that has turned back into wooded areas, Costilow said.

“Maples are usually one of the first trees to move into those old farm fields that were left fallow,” he explained. More than 98% of infested trees in Ohio have been maple.

The USDA has been able to eradicate other infestations in Ohio in Monroe Township, Batavia and Stonelick townships and East Fork State Park through tree removal and chemical treatments.

Within the U.S., the beetles usually spread when people move wood from an infested area to another area.

“The biggest issue with this pest is going to be human movement, and that typically occurs in firewood,” Costilow said.

Quarantined areas have restrictions on moving potentially-infested wood. The USDA also encourages people to get firewood locally, or where they plan to burn it when traveling, or to buy wood that has been properly heat treated to kill pests if it is not local.

The USDA has also designated August “Tree Check Month” and is encouraging Ohioans to check their trees for Asian longhorned beetles or signs of them.

Signs. The adult beetles’ bodies are about an inch to an inch and a half long, and are black with white spots. They have black and white antennae that are longer than their bodies. They also have six legs and feet that can look bluish in color.

The damage to the trees, however, is often easier to spot. When the beetles emerge from trees, they

make a perfect circle exit hole about three-eighths of an inch in diameter, Costilow said.

“You can take a No. 2 pencil and insert it an inch or two into the tree,” he said.

They also leave sawdust-like material, called frass, on the ground around the trees, and shallow, oval or round wounds in bark at their egg sites. Sap might weep from the wounds. Another common sign is branches or limbs falling from trees that look healthy otherwise.

Report. If you see signs of Asian longhorned beetles, or the beetles themselves, call 1-866-702-9938 or visit asianlonghornedbeetle.com to report it.

The USDA encourages people to take pictures of the beetle or tree damage, and to catch the beetle in a durable container and freeze it so it can be identified. USDA staff can confirm sightings and respond to get rid of the bugs.

Study links

fracking to asthma, lymphoma in children

Continued from Page A1

Results. In the cancer study, researchers found that children who lived within 1 mile of a well had five to seven times the chance of developing lymphoma compared with children who lived 5 miles or farther from a well. That equates to 60 to 84 lymphoma cases per million children living near wells, versus 12 per million among kids living farther away.

For asthma, the researchers concluded that people with the breathing condition who lived near wells were more likely to have severe reactions while gas was being extracted compared with people who don’t live near wells. However, researchers said they found no consistent association for severe reactions during periods when crews were building, drilling and fracking the well.

The four-year, $2.5 million project is wrapping up after the state’s former governor, Democrat Tom Wolf, in 2019 agreed to commission it under pressure from the families of pediatric cancer patients who live amid the nation’s most prolific natural gas reservoir in western Pennsylvania. An extremely rare form of bone cancer, Ewing sarcoma, had been diagnosed in dozens of children and young adults in a heavily drilled area outside Pittsburgh, and those families were instrumental in pushing Wolf to commission the study.

But the researchers said they found no association between gas drilling and childhood leukemia, brain and bone cancers.

Meanwhile, the researchers said their findings on preterm births and birth weights among families living closer to gas wells echoed the mixed conclusions in similar studies. There were hints that gas production might reduce birth weights by less than an ounce on average.

Reaction. A number of states have strengthened their laws around fracking and waste disposal over the past decade. However, researchers have repeatedly said that regulatory shortcomings leave an incomplete picture of the amount of toxic substances the industry emits into the air, injects into the ground or produces as waste.

All the while, the gas industry has maintained that fracking is safe. Groups reviewing the studies said that protecting public health is their highest priority. The Marcellus Shale Coalition, an advocacy group based in Pittsburgh, questioned the methodology for the asthma study in particular, saying it relied on “faulty metrics.”

The advent of high-volume hydraulic fracturing combined with horizontal drilling miles deep in the ground over the past two decades transformed the United States into a worldwide oil and gas superpower. But it also brought a torrent of complaints about water and air pollution, and diseases and ailments, as it encroached on exurbs and suburbs in states including Texas, Colorado and Pennsylvania.

Establishing the cause of health problems is challenging. It can be difficult or impossible for researchers to determine exactly how much exposure people had to pollutants in air or water, and scientists often cannot rule out other contributing factors. Because of that, environmental health researchers try to gather enough data to gauge risk and draw conclusions.

places for your name and the course in which you were being tested. Those lines were easy to complete.

Below them was a statement that caught your attention. It demanded that you remember your values including your commitment to honesty, your honor. “On my honor, I pledge that I have neither given nor received aid on this examination.”

Like as a Fire

Psalm 26.

Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity. I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore, I shall not slide. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregations of evildoers; and will not sit with the wicked, so will I compass thine altar, O Lord: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place where thine honor dwelleth. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men. In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me and be merciful unto me. My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

ON MY HONOR

I came upon an old college blue book. The blue book was a paperback booklet containing sixteen blank pages on which students were to provide the answers to essay test questions. The light blue front cover contained

A line to sign your name followed. And you had to sign it to affirm that you neither cheated nor helped someone else to do the same. The penalty for cheating was expulsion from the college for one semester. You were expected to report cheaters or yourself if you committed the offense. I had heard of only a handful of oath-breakers, one of whom turned in himself Honor on a test left its impact.

Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary’s definition of “honor” is “ honesty or integrity in one’s beliefs and actions.”

The inclusion of “integrity” in that definition of honor caught my attention. The dictionary defines integrity as: “1. soundness of and adherence to moral principle and character. uprightness, honesty. 2. the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished. 3. a sound union paired or perfect condition.”

Honor, which includes integrity in its definition, involves a person’s desire to be honest with one’s self and with others. That means not putting on false fronts or being twofaced. It also acknowledges one’s strengths and weaknesses to the best of one’s awareness and ability.

The person who lives honorably does not sell one’s self at any price. To do so is to surrender one’s honor, and integrity to the hands of some other cause or person. The new owner, in turn, calls the tune to which the surrendered person must dance.

Honor and the integrity on which it rests, constitute who we are, our

values, beliefs, abilities, likes and dislikes and everything else that make us who we are. When we commit ourselves to someone or something, we are offering a portion of the persons we are.

Many commitments are good. In marriage, a person commits to another. When one commits one’s life to God in that person’s faith tradition, it is the turning over of one’s life to God’s guidance. We must decide to whom and what we pledge our honors and integrity.

Perhaps honor and its integrity, when facing the temptation to present false fronts, is like a sterling spoon. Silver goods marked as being sterling are sold silver through and through. They are not silver plating covering a baser metal. it is the real item from its surface to its core.

One of sterling silver’s benefits is that, if tarnished, the tarnish can be removed. Real silver lies beneath the oxidation. Its luster can be restored with silver polish. You and I are somewhat like sterling silver if we live honorably and respect our integrity. If we bear the tarnish of mistakes and admit to them, the polish of correction and honesty remove the flaw. Then we continue with honor and integrity intact. And life goes on.

The psalmist is attempting to live an honorable life, being honest with himself and his Creator. This prayer is not offered in a self-righteous manner. He acknowledges his humanity and its weaknesses. He also rejoices in his attempts to live honorably seeking to avoid those who would mislead and weaken him.

By the way, I got an A- on that political science test. I think I am going to write about the professor who taught that course in the near future.

God, other; people count on us, our honor and integrity, and so do you. Guide us to avoid selling ourselves, the selves you have given us. Amen.

Meditation from the Upper Room

UPHILL WITH GOD

The Lord will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life.

— Psalm 121:7 (NIV)

I need a walk, I thought. I must have some time outside with God. Worries were pressing down on me. I live in a valley surrounded by abundant hilly countryside. When I’m facing challenges and my mind needs peace, I love walking up the hills to calm my heart and mind.

In the fresh air that day, my body and mind began to relax. As I

Faithful to the end

By Stephen Broache

(Editor’s note: Part 9 in a series in honor of the 160th anniversary of The Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863.)

responses to crisis are to fight, flight or freeze; I’m sure all were on display.

trudged uphill, my legs ached, I was thirsty, and I could hear the sound of my breathing and feel the pounding of my heart. But determination and necessity pressed me forward.

The challenge was worth it because I was away from distractions, and the quietness refreshed me.

From the top of the hill, surrounded by beauty, I gained a different perspective.

My thoughts slowed down, and in the solitude, I was reminded that whatever we face, we are never alone — our loving Father promises to watch over and guide us.

Sometimes we become exhausted when life is tough, especially when stress overwhelms us. Whatever we are going through, God is close by, offering us strength, courage, and perseverance. We experience joy and spiritual growth in our uphill walk with God.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Loving Father, thank you for watching over us and guiding us. Give strength to those in need today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

— Cindy Lee, England, United Kingdom

Goodness in the land

“

… We were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself. Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death … “

— 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (a discouraged Paul)

I learned not long ago that the Petersburg battle in 1864 was actually a nine-month siege. My wife, Wendy and I walked through some of the defenses. It was a sad final chapter of the war.

We learned that City Point was the Union’s reception point for troops and supplies. The pictures showed the glaring disparity between North and South: rows upon rows of cannon and limber, where the Southerners were dug in without shoes and bacon.

One of the funny parts (funny as in “how could that be?”) was that the Petersburg area was my home, and I had worked in City Point (now Hopewell) for two summers in college. I knew nothing of the sad history living there.

We also visited the Bentonville, North Carolina, Battlefield sight. Considered the last major battle of the war, it was a 60,000 (Union) versus 20,000 (Confederate) skirmish/draw.

We loved the farmhouse, cannon and breastworks of the battle. It was quiet there. There were no Gettysburg hordes eating ice cream. We walked through the woods where the soldiers had camped before facing the enemy.

Riding home, I got this overwhelming sense of the desperation on these two battlefields. For the Confederates, all was surely lost; how must they have felt to face the end? The classic

Perhaps all three were seen in each battle from 1861-1865, but I’m sure heightened with the passion of the last days of Southern resistance. With no shoes, no food and little ammunition, desertion had to be especially rampant with hunger, injury, and homesickness overwhelming them.

Where would we be, in the fight, flight, or freeze brigade? I think I’ve done some of each in my life. And maybe that was the proper response for each situation. Maybe not. Perhaps there is a time for each. Maybe the trick is knowing when to engage, retreat or unplug.

The apostle Paul was mostly a fighter, I think. He did leave at times, but his record was to verbally and physically stand tall in the face of opposition. And, boy, did he have some. He believed with all his heart, and he would not compromise those beliefs. His Damascus road encounter with Christ left him committed to the utmost.

In a tight spot, in a time of crisis/persecution/loss, we don’t have to be violent to “fight.” We can simply stand strongly and affirm our faith and trust in the love of God.

For all of the blessings that we receive and the grace which goes beyond our sinfulness, how can we not be faithful?

Think back to your encounter with Christ. To that moment when you said, “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back.” Keep your promise.

Prayer: In those “rockets red glare” moments of my life, steady me, Lord. Undergird whatever strength I have with your steadfast love. Amen.

FARM REVIEW SCIENCE

University of Pittsburgh cuts ribbon at Pa. solar farm

Continued from Page A1

The University of Pittsburgh, through a power purchasing agreement, will buy all of the power generated by the array for the next 20 years. The facility will provide about 18% of the university’s electrical needs and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, said Scott Bernotas, Pitt’s Vice Chancellor of Facilities Management.

Decisions. The project represents more than just Pitt’s desire to reach carbon neutrality by 2037. For the Craig family, it represents a way to retire comfortably, something few farmers get to do these days.

Don Craig’s father, Harry, bought the farm in 1954. He worked as a coal miner and ran the farm on the side. Don Craig took it over in 1974 and turned it into a dairy farm. The farm grew over the years. They added a free-stall barn and a milking parlor. At one point they were milking up to 110 cows, Barb Craig said.

The couple raised their children on the farm. One of their sons was slated to take over the farm operation from his parents, but he died in a motorcycle accident in 2007.

They were milking about 75 cows at the time they sold the milking herd. The entire herd went to a farm near Somerset, Pennsylvania in December 2021.

“I miss the cows,” Don Craig said. “I don’t miss the milking schedule.”

The decision to get out of dairy farming wasn’t easy, nor was it simple. Don and Barb loved the cows and loved the work, but they were both getting older. Their other children had no interest in taking over the farm. The solar lease wasn’t the only reason they sold the herd, but it played a part.

The steady income from a solar lease, spread out over 30 years, would give them stability to retire and continue farming, albeit at a slower pace. They’d also started getting royalty payments from a nearby gas well, drilled by Range Resources.

Advice. Don Craig still farms about 500 acres. He has a few beef cattle, too. He has some advice for other farmers or landowners considering a solar lease.

“Get someone to negotiate for you that knows the situation,” he said. He got a few conditions added to his contract to allow him to continue farming his land, but in retrospect, he would’ve liked another set of knowledgeable eyes to look at the contract and advocate on his behalf.

One of the conditions for the Craigs to sign the lease was that he needed access to fields that lay behind the proposed solar array. The layout of the solar field landlocked some of his corn fields. Don Craig said it was a sticking point during negotiations, as landowners are typically not allowed access to leased land once construction is underway.

Eventually, he got a 50-foot right of way through the solar facility to get to his fields and a gate leading straight from his farm into the array. The access road through the solar panels is wide enough for Don to get his combine and other large equipment through without damaging the panels.

• 1 Tbsp. Chopped chives

Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a large baking sheet with foil. In a large skillet over medium heat, add sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Turn heat to low and stir in Velveeta cubes, cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder and sage. Stir until everything is melted and well-mixed, about 5 minutes, and then remove from heat. Unroll crescent rolls, separating each triangle. Arrange triangles in a sunburst pattern, with pointed ends of the triangles facing outward. Spoon dip mixture onto the bottom of the crescents. Drape with Muenster slices, and then fold triangle tips over the filling and tuck under itself, forming a ring. Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with chives. Bake until dough is golden and the cheese is melty, about 18-20 minutes.

l Potato Bacon Egg Casserole

• 1 lb. bacon

• 1 onion, diced

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 12 eggs

• 1 cup half and half

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 green onions, chopped

Heat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until it is a nice crispy brown. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the onion and red pepper to the skillet and cook over medium heat until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in half and half. Stir in the cooked vegetables, potatoes, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Set ¾ cup of bacon aside and stir in the rest. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese and green onions. Bake for 20 minutes so the eggs start to set up. Carefully add the remaining bacon to the top of the casserole. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are firm and the top is slightly golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

l Ham Loaf

• 2 1/2 lbs.

• 2 lbs.

ground ham

ground sausage

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 Tbsp. ground mustard

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine ham, sausage, pineapple, bread crumbs, evaporated milk and eggs in a large bowl; mix well. Form handfuls into large meatballs and place into the prepared baking dish. On stove top in a medium saucepan, combine glaze ingredients and bring to a boil. Pour glaze over ham balls, cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes, baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a few pieces reads at least 160 F. Uncover dish and bake about 15 minutes more to brown. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

A tablespoon is a common measurement in cooking and baking. Unless you’re using a heaping tablespoon, the tablespoon should be level to ensure an accurate measurement. Many times, you can save time by converting each spoonful into a larger measurement. Here is a list of conversions to help with your measuring needs:

l Maple Bacon Cupcakes

• 1/4 cup butter, softened

• 1/8 cup vegetable oil

• 1/8 tsp. sea salt

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 2 lg. eggs, room temperature

• 1/3 cup maple syrup, room temperature

• 1/3 cup buttermilk room temperature

• 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour

• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

• Candied Bacon

• 8 slices uncooked bacon

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 4 Tbsp. maple syrup

• Cream Cheese Frosting

• 3/4 cup butter softened slightly

• 1/8 tsp. sea salt

• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

• 4 oz. cream cheese

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 4 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream

To make the maple cupcakes, preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin liners. In a stand mixer or a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the butter, oil, salt and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs, one by one, beating well in between. Add maple syrup and buttermilk, beating well. Sift flour and baking powder right into the bowl of wet ingredients. Fold until a smooth and creamy batter forms. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in baking tin for 5 minutes before transferring to the cooling rack. For candied bacon, keep the oven at 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out brown sugar on a large plate and set aside. Place bacon on the baking sheet and drizzle maple syrup. Flip the bacon to evenly coat each side with syrup. Place each piece of bacon onto the plate with brown sugar, turning it over to coat each side. Arrange back onto the baking sheet. Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check the bacon every three minutes so that the sugar doesn’t burn. It’s ready when the bacon is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside. Make the frosting. Beat butter, sugar and salt until very light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Add in the cold cream cheese, piece by piece, beating well in between each addition. Beat until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and add the whipping cream, tablespoon by tablespoon, until the frosting becomes light and fluffy but still holds its shape. Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with cream cheese frosting. Pipe swirls of frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and place bacon pieces on top. Drizzle with more maple syrup.

l Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs

• 6 lbs. extra meaty pork ribs

• 3 Tbsp. smoked paprika or regular paprika

• 5 Tbsp. McCormick’s Brown Sugar Bourbon seasoning mix

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 bottles regular beer, not light

• 3 cups BBQ sauce

Cover ribs well with seasonings and rub to incorporate well. Grill or cast-iron-stove-top brown the ribs until heavily browned. Place meat in a large 8-quart slow cooker and slowly pour the beer to cover ribs. Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove ribs from the slow cooker and remove all but 2 cups of liquid. Baste the ribs with beer and barbecue sauce and return to slow cooker for 2 more hours for a total of 10 hours. The cooker can be turned off, leaving the lid on, for the last ½ hour to allow the meat to rest.

l Pork Tenderloin wrapped in Prosciutto

• 1  2 lb. pork tenderloin

• 2 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup dijon mustard

Preheat the oven to 400 F. In a small bowl, combine honey and dijon. Lay out Prosciutto on parchment, slightly overlapping. Place pork on prosciutto slices. Brush with honey dijon mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lifting parchment, roll up. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 145 F for medium well. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Parting gifts from Gran

“Love is the greatest gift that one generation can leave to another.”

— Richard Garnett

It was an excellent turnout. Everyone agreed. That comment was made again and again. “She had a nice turnout.” No one wants to be forgotten. The flowers were plentiful as were the guests. The people who take leave of their busy schedules to show up, sit down, break bread and share their remembrance of a lost loved one at a funeral are surely doing God’s work. Showing up is a comfort.

The church had four funerals that day. They ran things with a coolly seamless precision that was somehow comforting. Hushed tones and soft hands on shoulders to keep things moving smoothly along are sometimes very welcome indeed. Without them I might still be standing there wringing my handkerchief — utterly lost.

Eulogy. If you have ever been asked to write a eulogy you have my sympathy and congratulations. Writing eulogies is equal parts honor and terror. How can you possibly encapsulate the entire essence of someone you love into words?

I worked on it for a week. I got it down to my usual 800 words. I don’t know that I can write in anything but standard column essay lengths. I had promised her I would not cry. I lied. I cried. She will have to forgive me. Pain is a testament to how much we meant to each other.

I lost all three of my grandparents in the space of seven years. I realize I was blessed to have them earthside as long as I did. Many are not so blessed. Still, I wanted — and still do want — more time.

My grandparents were all amazing. Truly. Each with their own gifts and special ways and unique lives. They also, each and every one, made me — and all of us they loved — feel absolutely adored, loved, safe, supported and above all — special.

More Ohio children to have access to preschool

COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently announced an unprecedented investment of $122 million in early childhood education, which will allow 14,000 more children from low-income families to attend preschool.

The state-funded Early Childhood Education grant is awarded to early care and education programs that provide developmentally appropriate learning environments that address the outcomes and goals essential for healthy development and academic growth. This year, 435 new grantees will join 339 existing grantees to provide preschool to at least 31,569 3- and 4-year-old children across the state.

Programs that receive the grant include public preschool programs, joint vocational schools, boards of developmental disabilities, chartered nonpublic schools, private preschool programs, Head Start programs, child care centers and family child care homes. Grantees must be highly rated in Step Up To Quality, a tiered 1-5star quality rating and improvement system administered by the Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

Step Up To Quality recognizes and promotes learning and development programs that meet quality program standards that exceed preschool licensing health and safety regulations.

Chris Woolard, interim superintendent of public instruction, said the allocated slows are being paid at $4,250, an increase of $250 per slot. This is the first increase since 2009.

To apply, families should check Child Care Search and select Early Childhood Education Grant under services provided and then contact

YSU will add Gelbman Room to student center with donation

YOUNGSTOWN —The Gelbman Foundation pledged a $1.5 million gift to Youngstown State University’s Zoldan Family Student Center campaign to rebuild and revitalize the campus’s student center.

In recognition of the gift, the Center’s new multi-purpose room will be named in honor of the Gelbmans, The Frank and Pearl Gelbman Room. The multi-purpose room in the new Center will be modeled off the current Chestnut Room in Kilcawley Center with modifications.

The Gelbman Room is planned to be larger and more versatile with a greater ability to section the space into smaller components. It will serve as a gathering space on campus with the flexibility to host events such as concerts, lectures, career days and more.

The total cost of the Zoldan Family Student Center is projected to be $45 million, with the goal of raising $20 million philanthropically. The Zoldan Family Student Center will be built on the current site of Kilcawley Center, with updates to accommodate and fit the environment of current and future students.

The Gelbman Foundation was established by Dr. Frank and Pearl Gelbman. Gelbman received his medical degree from Ohio State University in 1943 and went on to serve in the U.S. Army. During that time, he graduated from the U.S. Army School of Neuropsychiatry. After being discharged with the rank of major, he had an additional three years of medical training at other schools.

He returned to Youngstown in 1949 and worked in private practice until he retired in 1985. Gelbman and his wife, Pearl, were civic-minded and contributed to numerous organizations in their lifetimes, including but not limited to the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, Mahoning Valley Historical Society and Akron Children’s Hospital.

Parting gifts from Gran

(Continued from Page B1)

I have spent the last seven years unhealthily coping by pretending my Gram is just down in the barn. My grandpa is at his respective farm and now my Gran, well, I just don’t know that I believe that she is gone yet. It still does not seem real. I’m just sure I can call her up for a chat. Look for a card or note in the mail. Perhaps drop by for lunch?

My Gran left us two weeks to the day of entering palliative care — just like she planned. At the moment of passing the sky opened up with a crack of thunder. We like to think it was her storming Heaven’s gates to reunite with our grandfather — her soulmate. Strong in her faith, she wanted the very best for her family and friends and I am certain her prayer on our behalf buoyed each of us throughout the years. I guess I’m going to need to up my prayers to cover the loss. For all I know, her interception with the Lord on my behalf is all that has kept me from ruin thus far.

Delight Like so many grandparents, she loved unconditionally, beyond any fault or mistake. When we celebrated a milestone, she was the proudest. I also know that on the practical front, if you and your teenage cousin happen to get grounded by your respective parents at the same time — you should absolutely ask to go spend the weekend at Granny’s. She wouldn’t undermine your parents — exactly — but she would definitely let you know that you were absolutely a delight and those other grown-ups were probably overreacting.

When I was very young I would visit my grandparent’s store, King’s Central Market in Chardon, Ohio. There Granny would hand me a brown paper bag and encourage me to fill it with candy. You’ve heard the saying “a kid in a candy store?” Yeah, it was like that — only I was offered popsicles, too, just in case the candy wasn’t enough. That, in a nutshell, encapsulates the level of adoring indulgence and general mayhem my Gran heartily supported. Every child should be so blessed.

Even in her final days, in her subtle way, her bravery, her grace and her unwavering love for us, for her husband and for the Lord — serve as the ultimate lesson. Our world feels a bit dimmer without her light. But the beautiful thing about the sun is even when it is out of sight, it is never truly gone. She leaves behind the glow of her love, the memories, her stories, her values, her lessons and the lasting imprints of her kindness. The best people in our lives don’t just make us feel loved, they show us how to love and the best grandparents — including my own — certainly did just that.

I think my dear cousin summed it up best: “I’m going to miss having a grandparent.”

Explosion renders 10 homes in Pa. uninhabitable

PLUM, Pa. (AP) — Three houses at the center of a recent explosion near Pittsburgh that killed six people will need to be torn down and 10 others are not currently inhabitable, county officials said over the weekend.

The Aug. 12 blast in Plum leveled one home and engulfed two neighboring houses in flames. The 10 uninhabitable homes will need to be inspected by structural engineers for next steps, an Allegheny County spokesperson said.

Investigators with the county fire marshal’s office are still trying to determine the origin and cause of the explosion in a development about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh.

All of the victims were found on the property of the home that exploded, an Allegheny County spokesperson said. One victim was found outside of the garage area. Four others were located in the basement and the sixth was located and rescued from the rear yard. He was transported to a trauma center, where he died several days later.

Natural gas from an abandoned underground mine is unlikely to have caused the explosion, the state Department of Environmental Protection said Aug. 18. Authorities have said that the homeowners were having problems with their hot water tank and that is part of the investigation into the cause.

Crews from at least 38 fire departments worked to douse the flames, while three police departments and eight EMS agencies, from Allegheny and Westmoreland counties, also responded to the scene.

Social factors of farming to be explored Sept. 13

OAK BROOK, Ill. — The knowledge gap on how household challenges impact the farm business is a major hurdle that needs to be addressed to ensure the profitability, survivability and resilience of the farm sector. To help close this knowledge gap, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service is hosting a one-day virtual conference on Sept. 13.

The conference, U.S. Farm Households’ Social and Economic Needs and the Future of Agriculture will feature paper presentations and panel discussions to broaden the long-standing body of work seeking to understand why, how and which farm families are able to cultivate successful farm businesses in the face of ongoing changes and the inherent instability of the agricultural sector; and initiate the scientific debate on the linkages between farm households’ social and economic needs, social policies and farm business development; develop new networks of family farm scholars working on these topics; and better understand the data available to understand these relationships, as well as identify data gaps.

Conference contributors will also have the opportunity to submit a paper for inclusion in a special issue of the journal Agriculture and Human Values. Anyone is welcome to participate in the virtual conference and there is no cost to register. Register online here: farmfoundation.swoogo.com/farmhouseholds/begin.

The conference is being organized by the National Farm Medicine Center, Ohio State University, Colorado State University, USDA-ERS and Farm Foundation.

Antique Stores, Auctions and Shows

A fancy way to discard table scraps

By Terry and Kim Kovel

I saw a beautiful antique Chinese porcelain bowl at an auction. It was blue and white with painted dragons, and it had an unusual shape — rounded with a flared rim. The description called it a “zhadou,” but did not say what that meant.

A zhadou is a bowl for discarding used tea leaves and other table scraps. They usua lly have a globular body, shoulders, a flared rim and a short foot. The shape resembles a squat vase. They are often porcelain, but some are made from pottery or cloisonne. Some auctions may list the m as spittoons. In the early 20th century, the word “zhadou” was translated into English as “leys jar” from a Dutch term. Now, it is usually translated as “waste bowl” or “slop jar,” but these are not the same thing.

European and American waste bowls, often part of 19th-century silver or porcelain tea sets, are shaped like conventional bowls with straight sides and a round base. Some may be more elaborate, with features like a pedestal base, flared rim or side handles. Slop jars are not part of a table setting. They usually have handles and often have lids. They are used in a bathroom.

Q. Advertising for beer and other

alcoholic drinks is everywhere. I have a lighted (it still works) Budweiser King of Beers sign with pheasants eating corn on the cob. It has a curved plastic cover. Is it valuable?

A. Breweriana is very popular these days, especially signs. While neon signs are the most popular and getting very high prices, yours is a popular brand, Budweiser, and is in working condition. It is worth between $190 and $225.

Painesville Railroad Museum to host Railroad Memorabilia Show

PAINESVILLE, Ohio — The 5th annual Railroad Memorabilia Show will be Aug. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Collectors will be showing off their private collections of railroad-related items, ranging from railroad signals, dinnerware that was used in the dining cars, railroad lanterns, paperwork from different railroads, conductor hats, engineer hats and more.

Some items will be for display only by private collectors and some items will be available for purchase.

The show will look at the history of the Painesville depot from 1851 to present and how the railroad has influenced the city of Painesville and the nation.

Attendees can see the Collinwood Engine 999. This is a replica of the famous New York Central engine that — in May of 1893 — set the land speed record of 112.5 mph. The event will also offer the opportunity to view the progress of the restoration taking place, including the CSX boxcar now on display and the 1880s trolley which will be arriving during the show.

The Painesville Railroad Museum is located at 475 Railroad Street. Admission to the show is $5 for adults and $3 for children 3 to 12 years old. A $12 family admission is also available (max 2 adults and 3 children).

Hello from Hazard!

We’ve received a couple more guesses on Item No. 1254 in its final week.

Larry Broestle, of North Royalton, Ohio, believes Item No. 1254 was used on a wood burner/coal stove to adjust the opening on the 6-inch flue pipe damper, and it is missing a spring.

Eric Sporysz, of Rockland, Pennsylvania, thinks Item No. 1254 looks like a very antique cattle bloat tool used for releasing built-up gasses that cause cattle bloat.

Jim Petrosky came across Item No. 1254 at his great uncle’s estate.

• • •

Item No. 1255 has been submitted by Linda Mueller, of Wadsworth, Ohio. She discovered it in an old shop of her dad’s. Can you help her determine what it is, and what it may have been used for? 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.

TuscParks will hold 5K to benefit the towpath trail

All proceeds will benefit the general upkeep of the present towpath trail and its surrounding features in Tuscarawas County. Last year, proceeds from the race were put to use to purchase a sickle bar attachment and material to build picnic tables.

Early bird registration for adults or children 12 and under ($30) is open until Sept. 15. Those registered early will be guaranteed a t-shirt on race day. Registrations will still be taken after Sept. 15 to race day but the fee will be $35 and participants are not guaranteed a shirt.

Registrations can be made online by going to runsignup.com and searching for TuscParks under the upcoming races. Race day registration will be open the day of the race under the registration tent located between the Canal Lands Park trailhead and the Canal Tavern of Zoar from 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.

Awards and the door prizes will take place after the race at the Canal Tavern of Zoar. Participants will also be treated to an Octoberfest-style party with free brats, adult beverages and music on the patio.

Questions about the event can be answered by calling the TuscParks office at 330-365-3278 or visiting the TuscParks Facebook page for more information.

• Assorted hardware seems to collect in big, random piles in our tiny workshop. Nails, screws and bolts of all sizes are mixed together and tossed on the bench when a project is complete. Every so often, the kids and I make a game of sorting and organizing it using a muffin pan. It’s easy to sort by size and type!

• “After cleaning my paintbrushes recently, I decided to hang them from the clothesline to dry. It worked great, as the bristles were nice and soft when they were dry. I think it helped to hang straight down.”

• Before you start a painting project and head to the hardware store, determine what you might need and raid your recycling bin for containers.

• Here’s a great way to get your lawn tools organized and off the floor: If you have any PVC pipe, you can cut some 4- or 5-inch sections and screw them into the wall vertically a foot or two from the floor in your garage. Slip the handle of your rake, garden hoe, broom, etc ., down into the pipe, and it will stay stable against the wall. Make sure the pipe is wide enough.

• There are lots of shop, lawn and garden fluids that are not allowed in the trash. Contact your waste management provider to see if there is a place you can drop off hazardous waste in your community.

• “I needed more light over my workbench, and those hanging lights are pretty expensive. My wife had a lamp she didn’t need anymore, so I inverted the lampshade and hung it from a hook on the ceiling. It’s right over my workbench, and I can use it when I need it.”

— W.S. in Connecticut

Heat waves cause problems for world bee populations

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The historically high heat waves that gripped the southwest United States and southern Europe this summer are causing problems for more than just humans.

Extreme heat waves affect pollinators and the pathogens that live on them, creating a mutual imbalance that could have major economic and public health consequences.

A global research team led by Penn State was the first to study how extreme heat waves affect the hostpathogen relationship between two species of solitary bees (Osmia cornifrons and Osmia lignaria) and a protozoan pathogen (Crithidia mellificae). The researchers recently published their findings in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.

Heat. The researchers found that the one-two punch of extreme heat exposure and prior infection led solitary bees, which account for over 90% of the roughly 4,000 species of bees in North America, to be less likely to forage for food. If bees don’t forage, they don’t eat, and importantly for humans, they don’t pollinate crops that are vital to the global economy and food security.

“We are now experiencing the highest temperatures in recorded history,” said Mitzy Porras, a postdoctoral researcher in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences and lead author of the study. “These heat waves are lasting three, or even four days, which is a long period of heat tolerance for bees. Then, when you combine that with prior infection from a pathogen, we’re looking at two factors that can severely negatively impact pollinator populations.”

Testing. The researchers devised an experimental method for testing what she calls “thermal boldness,” the amount of heat a bee can withstand in order to move to a food source. The bees were placed in a tunnel. On one side of the tunnel was a chamber with temperatures akin to what would be experienced in a summer heat wave and on the other side of the hot chamber was a meal of sugar water and pollen.

They found that bees, which had previously been infected with a common protozoan pathogen, were far less tolerant of heat and much less likely to take the risk of passing through the chamber to eat.

In general, they found that the heat negatively impacted both the bee host and its pathogen, but the host bore the brunt of it. Exposure to heat decreased the bees’ thermal boldness and their heat tolerance, whereas the pathogen’s growth rate was only slightly negatively affected by heat.

“These asymmetrical relationships between organisms are often overlooked when studying climate impacts, but they are essential if we want to understand what is really going on,” Porras said. “When we looked at the host and pathogen in tandem, we found that infection greatly reduces heat tolerance in the host — a finding we wouldn’t have discovered if we had only been studying bees.”

The researchers found that a healthy bee could tolerate a heat wave of 109.4 degrees Fahrenheit, but after infection, its tolerance was reduced to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Our results shed light on the implications of extreme heat waves on host–pathogen dynamics under a warmer world,” said co-author Ed Rajotte, professor emeritus of entomology at Penn State. “We’re not

Curbing cow belches in the name of climate change mitigation

By Jeff Mulhollem

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A Penn State livestock emissions expert has received a grant from the Greener Cattle Initiative to develop actionable options to mitigate enteric, or intestinal, methane emissions from cattle — which are produced via belching.

Alex Hristov, distinguished professor of dairy nutrition, will use the $758,776 award — the first grant issued by the consortium investing in research focused on mitigating enteric methane emissions — to develop new enteric methane inhibitors and delivery methods for them. Hristov’s research group in the College of Agricultural Sciences has been an international leader over the last 15 years in testing feed additives that reduce methane emissions from cattle.

Cows and other ruminant animals produce enteric methane as part of their natural digestive process. This methane is the single largest source of direct greenhouse gases in the beef and dairy sectors, according to the Greener Cattle Initiative. Due to its structure, methane traps more heat in the atmosphere per molecule than carbon dioxide, making it 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the first 20 years after it is emitted.

Addressing enteric methane emissions is critical to slowing the effects of climate change while also helping the dairy and beef sectors meet their sustainability goals, according to the initiative.

Enteric methane inhibitors are naturally occurring or synthetic compounds that when ingested by cows can limit enteric methane

emissions. Hristov is focusing on inhibitors that have already been shown to substantially reduce methane in laboratory tests. The project aims to develop feed additive options that will deliver the greatest mitigation potential while remaining practical for producers.

The Penn State research team is conducting a series of studies to determine the efficacy and feasibility of these inhibitor compounds in cows, Hristov explained. Additionally, they will work to identify and optimize dietary conditions required to maximize enteric methane emissions reductions.

“Our approach involves exploration of microbes and plants as vehicles for delivery of methane inhibitors to the animal,” he said. “Preliminary work showed that novel inhibitor compounds can deliver at least 30% reduction in enteric methane emission at practical application rates. Molecular techniques may be used to enhance inhibitors uptake by fungal strains and investigate plants and microorganisms as delivery mechanisms.”

If successful, he added, the research — conducted at the Penn State Dairy Barns — will offer new, potent enteric methane mitigation options to livestock producers.

Earlier this summer, the world experienced the hottest day on record, jeopardizing human and animal health, our food supplies and more, noted Nikki Dutta, interim scientific program lead for Advanced Animal Systems at the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research.

“A surefire way to slow the impacts of climate change is to reduce the amount of methane cows produce,” Dutta said. “This award aims to provide dairy producers with safe, practical options to reduce enteric methane emissions.”

The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research and the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy launched the Greener Cattle Initiative in 2021 to convene stakeholders across the dairy and beef value chains to fund research for enteric methane mitigation options that are proven, scalable and affordable for producers. The foundation matched initial program participant contributions with $2.5 million. While the consortium originally sought to award $5 million in research, it has exceeded funding expectations and will make additional grant awards that represent a greater research investment than originally targeted.

Heat waves cause problems for world bee populations

(Continued from Page B22)

going to see a simple, linear change as the climate warms. Every organism will respond differently and the relationships between organisms will be fundamentally altered.

If we’re going to try to predict the impacts of climate change, relationships matter. There are real consequences to changes in our ecosystems and we must understand the subtleties if we are going to prepare ourselves for the reality of a changing climate.”

Workhorses. Solitary bees, often called the workhorses of the pollinator world due to their high foraging capacity, live for roughly a year, but are only active outside their nests for two to four weeks, for example, in early spring. They do a lifetime of pollinating in less than a month, Rajotte explained.

For humans, a three or four-day heat wave may just be an uncomfortable blip, but for a solitary bee, it can represent a quarter of the total time they are active outside their nests — and can severely affect their fitness for mating, pollinating and producing offspring.

The researchers demonstrated that their health is even further jeopardized if they have been previously infected with a pathogen.

The team concluded that extreme heat exposure reduces the bees’ heat tolerance generally, but heat waves exacerbated the adverse effects of infection on the bees’ thermal physiology and ultimately affected their behavior.

“We have to think about the big picture,” Porras said. “Climate change is not just impacting species; it is impacting the relationships between species and that could have huge implications for human health and the planet as a whole.”

The dog days of summer – not about dogs at all

dog days aren’t about dogs at all, but rather about the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. Known as the “dog star,” it is part of the constellation Canis Majoris. The rising of this star at sunrise coincides with the hot, humid days associated with July and August, giving them the name “dog days.”

What are the Dog Days of Summer? A time when we must lavish our dogs with treats, hugs and daily hikes?

My dogs are pretty much used to that kind of treatment already, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind a bit more attention. Sadly, for them, the

Dog-day cicada. There is an insect that thrives during this time of high temperatures and peak humidity. So much so, that it bears the name dog-day cicada (Neoti bicen canicularis). For many of us, summer isn’t summer without the incessant songs from these insects throughout the day.

Starting low and slow, a buzzing noise can be heard from the trees. Rapidly, the winy drone picks up speed and volume. Sounding much like the high-pitched buzz from an

In North America, there are around 170 species of cicadas. In Ohio, there are 12. These are often erroneously referred to as “locusts.” A locust is actually a type of grasshopper known for traveling in large swarms and devouring all the vegetation in their path.

Although locusts are not even found in the United States, the association between the two species dates back to colonial times. Large emergences of periodical cicadas, with their deafening vocalizations, had the colonists convinced that

Dog-day cicadas emerge from the ground when they are fully developed and look for a verticle surface to attach to so they can split their skin and allow their adult body to emerge.

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Farm Driving

My first experience, at driving a truck, was when I was seven years old. Back then, farmers’ boys learned to drive at a young age simply because there was no one else to do the job.

At seven years old and being short, a trait in my family, I couldn’t press down on the clutch and see over the steering wheel at the same time. So, while driving to the hay bales, I would listen for Dad to holler whoa, and then I would slide under the steering wheel and press down on the clutch. Occasionally I would take the truck out of gear. When Dad hollered go, I would shift it back into granny, let out on the clutch ever so easy and then slide up until I could see to drive — a maneuver I got pretty good at.

Our flatbed truck made it easier to stack a well-balanced load of hay. My father always rode on the truck and stacked the bales of hay. A man on each side of the truck lifted the hay bales up onto the truck bed.

On one particular morning, one of the men made me his target to yell at. His claim was I wasn’t getting close enough to the bales making him have to carry the bale and then lift it to the truck. In fact, if I’d have driven any closer I would have run over the bales.

Again and again, he chose to yell at me. I stopped the truck, leaned out the window and hollered, “I’m doing the best I can. Don’t yell at me!” I may have used a cuss word. Back in those days, a young one never talked back to his elders. The disgruntled man looked to my father to see what he was going to do. My father looked up and calmly said, “Find someone else to yell at.” No one yelled at me from then on.

As the years went by, I was able to reach the clutch and see over the steering wheel at the same time. There were times I would have to drive the truck on a county road to the house where we stacked the hay by the corrals, even into the dark. I didn’t have a driver’s license but it seemed to be a necessity of farm life.

When I was 14, I received my daylight driver’s license. Finally driving legally, at least in the daytime.

One late fall on a Saturday, my cousins and I were duck hunting and stayed out a little too long. I ended up coming home 45 minutes after dark. My mother was angry and made it clear I was breaking the law.

In reality, I was guilty so I took my medicine without any argument. However, it was confusing to me as, at times, I was expected to drive at night yet “illegal” for my own recreation. Soon enough, though, I acquired my nighttime driver’s license which solved the problem. And with time and age, I learned to accept that there are many gray areas in most aspects of life.

ODNR hosting weekend for Girl Scouts across state

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is calling on all Girl Scouts to explore and learn during the fifth annual Girl Scouts Love Ohio State Parks weekend, Sept. 8-10, 2023.

Several state parks around Ohio will offer various programs for Girl Scouts of the USA, where ODNR naturalists guide girls through different activities—which can count towards badges and journeys.

Girl Scouts Love State Parks events include fishing at Alum Creek State Park, nature crafts at Dillon

State Park, an owl prowl and wildlife show at Mosquito Lake State Park, stand-up paddleboarding at Lake Loramie State Park and many more activities at those parks and others. Attendees and families and friends of Girl Scouts should check their local Girl Scout council’s official website for additional information, including activity registration. Find a detailed list of events at each park and links to regional Girl Scout councils here: https://ohiodnr.gov/ discover-and-learn/education-training/scouts/girl-scouts/gslsp.

The dog days of summer – not about dogs at all

they were experiencing locust plagues. Thus, the mistake of interchanging the two names began.

The dog-day cicada, also known as the annual cicada, is impressive, to say the least. Measuring nearly 2 inches in length, by ½ inch in width, the adult insect appears fearsome but is completely harmless. Sporting a green, brown and black, bullet-shaped body, it has four semitransparent wings with green veins that are held tent-like above its back. A pair of short antennae and prominent bulging compound eyes set far apart complete its portrait.

Cicada songs. When we hear the characteristic “singing,” it is coming from the male, as he sits on the side of a tree hoping to attract a mate. Only the males call, and their musical instrument is quite extraordinary. Cicadas possess an organ unique among insects.

The “tymbal” is comprised of a pair of ridged membranes near the tip of the abdomen. Contractions of the muscle attached to the membranes cause them to bend and click. The frequencies of these contractions range from 120 to 480 times per second, which causes a nearly continuous call that humans are able to perceive. A nearly empty abdomen helps to amplify the sound.

Once mating has occurred, the female uses her ovipositor, a structure at the tip of her abdomen, to cut small slits into branches of trees and shrubs and deposit clusters of eggs. After about 6 weeks, these eggs hatch into tiny nymphs that drop to the ground and immediately burrow several feet into the soil. Here, they seek out tree roots and feed on sap.

During their 2- to 5-year tenure underground, the nymphs grow and molt several times. Once fully developed, they prepare for their grand

entrance into the world. Under the cover of darkness, they use their strong front legs to burrow out of the soil, leaving a round, ½” hold behind.

Once on a stable vertical surface, they split their skin allowing their adult body to emerge. Much like that of a butterfly or moth, their wings are tiny at first but slowly expand over the course of several hours. By daybreak, their wings have hardened, and they take flight, leaving behind an empty shell. It is this intriguing exoskeleton that we come across so often during this time of year. Adult cicadas live for 5 to 6 weeks, sucking juices from tender twigs and doing little if no damage.

Periodical cicada. Our area is also home to the longest-lived insect in North America. The periodical cicada (Magicidada spp.) puts on a show of amazing proportion as regional broods emerge en masse every 13 to 17 years. Slightly smaller than our annual cicada species, the periodical cicadas have red eyes and orange wing veins. Known here as brood V, the most recent emergence was in 2016.

As an insect lover, I enjoyed every second of the overwhelming spectacle and look forward to it happening again in 2033. Sadly, as more and more developments eliminate the trees whose roots these nymphs depend upon for so many years, the broods become smaller and smaller, sometimes completely disappearing from existence in some areas.

Many may ask the question, “What good are cicadas?” For one thing, mass emergences of periodical cicadas help to aerate the soil. They also put nitrogen back into the soil after they perish. When eggs are laid, it forms a weak spot which eventually causes the branch to break off. This natural pruning contributes to a stronger tree crown.

Finally, cicadas provide a hefty

meal for so many animals. The cicada-killer wasp, the largest in Ohio, wrestles cicadas and stashes them as a food source for their offspring. Birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, raccoons and opossums, to mention a few, all enjoy dining on the nutrientrich insects. And, that’s right, even our dogs love ‘em too!

According to folklore, cicadas can predict the weather. It is said that when you hear the initial dog-day cicada sing, the first frost of autumn is just 6 weeks away.

The sweltering dog days of August certainly don’t have me anxious to grant my canines additional hikes. Rather, I would much prefer to rest with them in the shade of a big tree while the gentle buzz of the dog-day cicada summoning a mate, lulls me to sleep.

BEWARE

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
