UP FRONT

THANKFUL Almost daily, I find myself disappointed, even upset, with the words and actions of people in leadership positions — politicians, business executives, media talking heads — saying and doing things that range from annoying to just plain wrong. Perhaps you can empathize. But as I consider how to “fix” the problems, I soon realize how blessed we are with the system we have and with the people in our families, in our communities, at work, and behind the scenes who make everyday life great. That gratitude certainly extends to the electric cooperative community.

Pat O’Loughlin PRESIDENT & CEO OHIO'S ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES

This month, I simply express my gratitude for: • Our constitutional form of government based on individual rights and freedoms, including our right to vote on November 6 for the people we think will best represent us • Our active-duty military and veterans who continue to defend our country and our freedom • The men and women working for Ohio’s electric cooperatives — the linemen, power plant workers, accountants, engineers, member service representatives, managers, and other professionals who work each day to keep your electricity safe, reliable, and affordable • Community volunteers who give to those in need • Your support and patronage as members of your electric cooperative Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Stories of

SERVICE

Electric cooperatives across Ohio join the nation this month in honoring veterans of the U.S. armed forces — America’s courageous protectors, defenders, and heroes. Not only do the co-ops acknowledge veterans’ dedication to our country, but we are truly grateful for the unique strengths and noble characteristics they bring to the co-op family.

We recognize all of our veteran-employees, and here, we talk to a few of them.

BY VICTORIA ELLWOOD

Tony Willis Tree trimmer foreman, Logan County Electric Cooperative, Bellefontaine Tony Willis knew he was going to join the military — and specifically, the U.S. Marine Corps — when he was just 12 years old.

“My two grandfathers both fought in the Battle of Guadalcanal in World War II,” Willis says. “They were both Marines but didn’t know each other. They only realized the connection when my parents got married.”

Both grandpas had tact and discipline — qualities they passed on to Tony. Wanting to follow in their footsteps, he says, he joined the Marines via an early program while still in high school. He served 10 years, based in North Carolina and California.

Many of the skills Willis honed in the military are valuable today. “The things I carry into my job? My tact and having my bearings. My ability to communicate and not worry about the little stuff, and being really ready to work when at work. That’s important.”

He says he loves being part of the community served by the co-op. “On the co-op line, we try to talk with everyone before we cut their trees,” he says. “We talk with them, not to them. We build relationships, and they know we’ll take care of them.”

While at Camp Lejeune, he served in the Fleet Marine Force. “We were part of ‘the float’ with the U.S. Navy,” he says. “I’ve been in 24 countries, from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, South America to North Africa. You never knew what to expect, but it was always exciting.”

Adam Osborn Manager of safety and compliance Butler Rural Electric Cooperative, Oxford Adam Osborn spends his days making sure everyone at Butler REC is safe and secure.

Osborn is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He monitors safety, conducts field audits with linemen, and makes sure all work areas at Butler REC comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and safety procedures. “The job is a great fit,” he says. “I take it real seriously, so everyone can go home safely at the end of the day.”

Osborn, a native of Webster, Indiana, served in the Air Force from 2003 until 2007. He responded to emergencies alongside EMTs, fought wildfires, and served in Baghdad, Iraq.

PHOTO BY E.L. HUBBARD

Along with an eye to safety, he says the Air Force instilled skills — time management, attention to detail, organization — that he uses daily and that created a natural path to Butler REC. “I still have that drive for safety,” he says. “My background in hazmat and emergency response helped qualify me for this job.”

As part of that job, he teaches CPR and first aid to all 11 linemen and 37 office employees at Butler. He’s frequently on the phone answering compliance questions and explaining safety issues, and he travels to local schools to provide safety demonstrations — showing, for example, what can happen if a balloon or kite touches a power line.

“I enjoy coming to work every day; I’m very grateful,” Osborn says. “Butler feels like family — everyone meshes together and works well together.”

Steve James, Class A lineman Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative, Millersburg Steve James grew up in Wayne County and now works around that same rural area as a lineman for the co-op. But in between? Let’s just say he wandered a little way from home.

PHOTO BY BILL THORNHILL

James served as a combat engineer in the U.S. Marine Corps, based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in the 1980s. He was part of “Operation Urgent Fury,” the U.S.-led invasion and liberation of the Caribbean island of Grenada. He also served in war-torn Beirut, Lebanon.

Following his service, James was happy to return to the familiar hills of eastern Ohio, where he’s been a lineman for 13 years. The skills and character he built with the Marines have served him well. “I pretty much go by the idea that you do what’s needed to get a job done,” he says. “In the Marine Corps, whatever the orders were, you found a way to do it.”

Perhaps the most treasured part of his job is his involvement in the HolmesWayne Community Honor Trips — taking the area’s WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans to visit the Washington, D.C., memorials that honor their service.

“The part I really enjoy is talking with the veterans and learning about their experiences,” he says. “I want to hear their stories — ask what they did and just listen. A lot of times they hold that in, but I want to see them open up. Being I’m a little older vet, I think they tend to talk to me. They are the real deal.”

Scott Dunn, First-class lineman The Frontier Power Company, Coshocton Scott Dunn says his experience stationed with U.S. Marines security forces in remote areas of the Philippines in the late 1980s helped prepare him for a recent humanitarian trip he took with other Ohio co-op employees to isolated villages in Guatemala. “My military career helped me understand that impoverished country,” says Dunn, who was among a group of co-op workers who spent three weeks in Central America with Project Ohio.

“These were very, very remote villages,” he says. “We installed electric power where they’ve never had electricity. We wired 140 ‘houses’ that were dirt-floor huts. We put lights in. We added electricity to the school.”

PHOTO BY JUDD BONE/J&S PHOTOGRAPHY

They even brought along shoes for the kids, who enjoyed the chance to play a little soccer with the co-op workers. The experience was undeniably rewarding. The kids, he says, “well, they were the best part of it.”

Dunn served in the Marines for eight years. He spent seven months on the USS Saipan, an amphibious assault ship that sailed from Iceland and Norway to the Mediterranean. After he left the service, Dunn went to school to study law enforcement and later joined Frontier Power.

His military background continues to play a role. “I brought a lot with me: patience and discipline and the ability to deal with a whole lot of things at once,” he says. “You don’t get too upset over spilled milk, as they say. There’s a lot more to life. I just love being outside and getting people’s lights back on.”

OHIO CO-OPS MOBILIZE Crews help fellow co-ops recover after Florence’s devastation

BY ADAM SPECHT

F

ifty-four linemen from 12 Ohio electric cooperatives spent much of mid-September successfully assisting with power restoration to members of South River EMC and Lumbee River EMC in North Carolina, two cooperatives severely impacted

by Hurricane Florence.

After the hurricane swept through, the crews departed Ohio with 14 bucket trucks and 12 digger derricks.

When they arrived, South River had 30,000 of its 46,000 members without power, while Lumbee River had 35,000 of its 60,000 members in the dark.

Lumbee River’s outages were down to a manageable level, and Ohio’s crews were notified that evening that they would be released the following morning.

Throughout the restoration effort, Ohio linemen were commended for their adherence to high safety standards.

“Our guys were able to influence others in ways that could save a life down the road,” says Dwight Miller, director of safety training and loss control at Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, the statewide service organization that coordinated Ohio co-ops’ efforts.

While the restoration process at South River was relatively brisk and straightforward, crews assisting Lumbee River faced considerable adversity as flooding in the area worsened.

“The two themes were getting stuck and not being able to return on roads that you used just a couple hours ago,” says Trevor Lavy, safety and loss control instructor at Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives. “It wasn’t uncommon to take two to three times longer to return to the co-op than it took to originally get to the job site.”

Additionally, Lumbee River’s smart-meter systems were also initially offline, which created difficulty obtaining precise numbers and locations of outages.

By the Ohio crews’ second day on the job, South River’s outage number was reduced to 3,766, while Lumbee River’s was at 10,964. In addition to the difficulties created by flooded roads, fuel scarcity created a significant hurdle, with many stations running out of diesel and some only able to accept cash because of widespread internet outages.

Ohio crews assisting South River were released after the third day, with only 160 members awaiting restoration. Meanwhile, work continued at Lumbee River, with temperatures in the mid-90s paired with high humidity. By the end of the fourth day of work, 8

Crews from Piqua-based Pioneer Electric Cooperative survey and repair damage in the area served by South River Electric Membership Cooperative in North Carolina. The crews were among more than four dozen workers from Ohio helping to restore power after Hurricane Florence brought heavy rain, high wind, and devastating flooding to the region.

Crimson Cup COFFEE AND TEA

Columbus

BY DAMAINE VONADA

Location: In addition to its headquarters and roasting and training facilities on Alum Creek Drive in Columbus, Crimson Cup Coffee and Tea owns and operates two coffee shops in the city’s Clintonville and Upper Arlington neighborhoods plus another inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The company also has a fourth location in the Akron suburb of Tallmadge.

Provenance: Founder and president Greg Ubert quit his first job after college to start Crimson Cup Coffee and Tea in 1991. “One of the big drivers for me was having a really good cup of coffee in San Francisco,” says Ubert. “I thought that if I liked the taste of great coffee, others would enjoy it, too.”

After moving back to his hometown of Columbus, Ubert launched his specialty coffee business with one roaster in a one-room office. At the time, specialty coffee aficionados were concentrated on the East and West coasts, and Ubert soon found himself teaching customers “from the grounds up” about how maintaining superior standards at each step from beans to brewing yields superior cups of coffee. “Our vision was establishing meaningful relationships locally and globally, whether they were with new coffee shop owners or with farmers in South America,” Ubert says.

Significance: Crimson Cup is a multifaceted international business that imports and roasts coffee, develops and distributes coffee enhancers such as syrups and mixes, and not only educates but also nurtures coffee entrepreneurs through a franchisealternative program based on Ubert’s book, Seven Steps to Success: A Common-Sense Guide to Succeed in Specialty Coffee. The company has also garnered numerous awards, and in 2016, it was named Roast magazine’s Macro Roaster of the Year. “I’m especially proud of that honor because it’s like winning the Super Bowl of the coffee industry,” Ubert says.

Currently: Crimson Cup sources coffee beans from about 25 countries and annually roasts some 500,000 pounds of coffee beans. Besides its Ohio operations, the company supplies coffee to more than 350 customers in other states and

10

OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • NOVEMBER 2018

countries, including independently owned coffee shops, restaurants, grocers, colleges and universities, and food service businesses.

Certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), Crimson Cup’s Innovation Lab in Columbus offers SCA-approved tutorials for both professional coffee crafters and consumers. Its programs include cupping and roasting courses, as well as classes such as “Espresso at Home” and “Coffee Education: Seed to Cup.” It’s a little-known fact that: The three outstanding coffees that helped Crimson Cup earn its prestigious Roaster of the Year award were Ethiopia Biftu Gudina, Kossa Kebena, and the company’s exclusive Wayfarer Blend espresso.

Cheer

FOR TROOPS

The Ohio Christmas Tree Association provides holiday spirit to those serving abroad

BY DAMAINE VONADA

V

alerie Graham, executive director of the Ohio Christmas Tree Association (OCTA), counts among her managerial responsibilities assisting tree farmers across the state with Operation Evergreen, an annual service project that gives fresh-cut Christmas trees and decorations to overseas military units. The project helps to bring a bit of home to soldiers who can’t be with their families at the holidays, and Graham says it’s one of the most rewarding aspects of her position.

An independent administrator for several agricultural organizations, Graham is a member of Newark-based The Energy Cooperative who lives with her husband and their five daughters on a 200-acre livestock farm near Frazeysburg. She works out of a home office and handles everything from OCTA’s paperwork and communications to processing Operation Evergreen donations.

Every November, Graham also participates in Operation Evergreen’s packing day, when all the Christmas trees grown and donated by OCTA members are transported to the Ohio Department of Agriculture in Reynoldsburg. After the evergreens pass inspection, a legion of volunteers — including adults on their lunch hours, as well as youth and school groups — readies the trees and their decorations for shipment. “We get busloads of kids who come to put ornaments in bags,” says Graham. “They wear Christmas hats and have lots of fun doing it.”

Operation Evergreen was launched in 1995 at the suggestion of former OCTA Executive Director Rhea Dawn Smith. Its mission is bringing Christmas cheer to troops stationed far from home. “Her husband was a Marine, and she knew that OCTA could provide a network for military donations,” says Amy Galehouse of Doylestown’s Galehouse Tree Farms, the project’s veteran coordinator.

That first year, Operation Evergreen sent 30 trees to U.S. forces in Bosnia, and in 2011, more than 300 went to personnel in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. This year, OCTA plans to supply about 100 Christmas trees and dispatch them to the Middle East by air freight on November 14. “If they’re shipped out on that date,” says Galehouse, “we know they’ll be in

12

OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • NOVEMBER 2018

Kuwait by Thanksgiving and get distributed to different bases in time for Christmas.”

Because they’re shipped in boxes measuring 12 inches by 12 inches by 84 inches, the Christmas trees must be between 51⁄2 and 6 feet tall, and the preferred varieties are white pine and fir, which hold their needles well and can be easily compressed to fit inside the boxes. A true Christmas present, each box comes complete with an Ohio-grown tree, 35 feet of garland, and 48 ornaments. Also tucked into the boxes on packing day are handcrafted holiday banners and “Merry Christmas” messages written and collected at local football games and other events. “Every year, OCTA exhibits a fully decorated Christmas tree at the Ohio State Fair,” says Graham. “We encourage people to stop by and sign letters for the troops.”

Although OCTA members donate the trees, all the decorations — purchased or handmade — are given to Operation Evergreen by individuals, Scouting and 4-H members, civic societies, churches, and nursing homes.

“Making red-and-green paper chain garlands is very popular with school and youth groups,” says Graham.

“It’s those homemade ornaments that really touch the heart.” While commercial carriers such as UPS and FedEx offer Operation Evergreen discounted rates, this year’s shipping costs will tally about $15,000, and OCTA relies on contributions to help with that expense. Says Graham, “We appreciate everybody who makes a donation, whether it’s $5 or the $150 needed to ship each Christmas tree.”

For more information about Operation Evergreen, call Valerie Graham at the Ohio Christmas Tree Association (740-8283331) or Galehouse Tree Farms (330-607-4487). Also visit www. ohiochristmastree.org or www.galehousetreefarms.com.

THE EFFICIENCY EXPERT

EFFICIENT

holiday lighting

BY PAT KEEGAN

I

t’s a shame that holiday lighting can lead to higher energy bills, but the good news is that there are strategies to let you save money without dampening your holiday spirit.

One of the best ways to save energy is by using LED lights, which consume about 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs. An individual’s potential savings depends on several factors, including your electric rate and how many hours your holiday lights are turned on.

We’ve seen a number of different estimated energy cost savings. One report said that replacing five strings of traditional incandescent outdoor lights with LED bulbs could lower your bill from about $14 to 22 cents. Another report said that replacing incandescent lights on a typical indoor tree with LED bulbs could lower your monthly cost from $15 to $2.

The reason incandescent bulbs are so inefficient is that at least 90 percent of their energy is converted into heat, not light. LEDs, by contrast, convert virtually all their energy to light. That means up to 20 strings of LED lights can be linked together, whereas incandescent sets are typically limited to between three and five strings in a chain. The efficiency of LED lights also makes them safer because they generate so much less heat.

lights for 10 seasons is $122 for incandescent bulbs and $18 for LEDs. Plus, the LED lighting is more likely to last the full 10 seasons, meaning fewer trips to the store.

There are other ways to cut energy expenses. You can use decorative solar light sets, which store energy during the day and release light during the night. Timers are also a good idea because they can reduce energy use, especially if you don’t always remember to turn the lights off before bedtime.

Innovative decorating ideas can make your display more dynamic and interesting, which might help you get by with fewer lights. That could reduce energy costs and still keep your holidays bright. For maximum effect with the smallest amount of energy use, try distributing the lighting across a broader space. In the spaces between lights, add reflective ornaments and decorations to increase the effect of the lights and add interest.

For more information on saving energy on holiday lighting, visit Pat Keegan’s website: www.collaborativeefficiency.com/energytips.

Aside from their energy efficiency, LED lights can last longer — around 200,000 hours or more, which is about 25 times longer than incandescent lights. The bulb is more durable because it is made of an epoxy instead of glass.

The drawback of switching over to LED lights is the upfront cost. Incandescent bulbs can be purchased for 19 to 50 cents each, while a replacement LED will likely cost $1 or more. However, one report we ran across showed the estimated cost of buying and operating standard C-9

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO

THANKFUL

WE’RE FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP

“F

eeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”

In the spirit of this quote by author William Arthur Ward, I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for your membership in our electric cooperative. Because of your connection to HolmesWayne Electric Cooperative, we are able to make our community a better place.

I generally use this space to provide updates on new projects and developments and report on the progress of ongoing initiatives. However, during this season of giving thanks, I think it’s equally important to let you and other members of Holmes-Wayne Electric know just what an impact you have on our co-op and the greater community, in ways you may not even realize.

As part of the cooperative business model, one of our core principles is “Concern for Community.” While our priority is always to provide safe, reliable, and affordable energy, we view our role in the community as a catalyst for good.

We work closely with our local schools to provide safety demonstrations, award college scholarships, and provide energy efficiency education for local teachers.

Holmes-Wayne Electric organizes a community Honor Trip for our local veterans. In coordination with the Shreve American Legion and Rolling Thunder, we annually provide a three-day bus trip to Washington, D.C., so veterans can see the monuments built in their honor. A return-home parade is often the highlight of the trip — for many, it’s the hero’s greeting they have never received.

We also use our Operation Round Up® foundation to assist those in need within our community. This amazing program is fully funded by our members volunteering to round up their bill to the nearest dollar every month.

Over $550,000 has been given back to the community in the past 12 years.

Glenn W. Miller PRESIDENT/CEO

Ultimately, the community benefits from these programs because of you! You empower the co-op through your membership and through your participation in and support of these programs.

When you attend co-op events, alert us to problems, or provide suggestions online or to our employees, you help us improve operations and thereby better serve the larger co-op membership.

On a more personal note, we appreciate the countless acts of kindness our lineworkers and other employees receive when they are working in severe weather and dangerous conditions. Our employees are thankful for your patience and consideration when we are trying to restore power during challenging situations and prolonged periods.

HWEC was originally established 8 years ago to bring electricity to our area when no one else would. The cooperative is a reflection of our local community and its evolving needs. Together, let’s continue making our corner of the world a better place. We can’t do it without you, and for that, we’re thankful for your membership.

Certification of Active Duty Deployment The cooperative will not disconnect electric service to the residential premises of any residential member who is deployed on active duty for nonpayment for electricity provided to the residential premises.

Upon return of the residential member from active duty, the cooperative will offer the residential member a period of time equal to duration of deployment on active duty to pay any arrearage incurred during the period of deployment. If the time period the cooperative offers the residential member for repayment presents a hardship, the member may request a longer period to repay the arrearage. No late payment fees or interest will be charged to the residential member during the period of deployment or the repayment period.

“Active duty” means active duty pursuant to an executive order of the President of the United States, an act of the Congress of the United States, or section 5919.29 or 5923.21 of the Ohio Revised Code.

The residential member must resume the timely payment of all charges for electric service provided by the cooperative after the return from active duty deployment.

In order to avoid disconnection of electric service for nonpayment of electric service during a period of active duty deployment, a completed Certification of Active Duty Deployment form must be submitted to the cooperative.

Certification of Active Duty Deployment forms are available from the cooperative upon request.

Thank you!

The office will be closed Nov. 22–23 for Thanksgiving.

You can contact us toll-free at 866-674-1055 or use our online portal or mobile app, SmartHub, to report an outage, make a payment, or submit a meter reading.

Electricity theft and meter tampering are dangerous and illegal Since August 1978, a revised Ohio law has been in effect covering theft of utility service and tampering with utility equipment. The statute provides that a person does not have to be seen tampering with a meter to be held responsible for such action. Prior to the revision in the law, it was difficult to prosecute a person for meter tampering unless the action was witnessed.

In addition, reconnecting a user’s device that was disconnected by a utility is now considered prima facie evidence that the user intended to defraud the utility. The law defines theft of a utility service as a firstdegree misdemeanor if the value of the stolen electricity, plus any utility equipment repair, is under $150. It’s a fourth-degree felony if the value is more than $150 or if the offender was previously convicted of the charge. Tampering convictions carry similar penalties.

Tampering is defined as “to interfere with, damage or bypass a utility meter, conduit, or attachment with intent to impede the correct registration of a meter or the proper function of a conduit or attachments.” Conviction can bring from six months in jail and a $1,000 fine to five years in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Honor trips earn 2 co-ops national awards Two Ohio cooperatives have earned the National Cooperative Purpose Award for their support of “honor trips” for local veterans.

The award, given by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, honors meaningful contribution to the community that exemplifies the purpose of co-ops. It was presented at the NRECA regional meetings in Columbus.

Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative, based in Millersburg, raised more than $67,000 through employee payroll deductions and other workplace activities to send 48 veterans and their guardians to Washington, D.C. Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative in Paulding raised more than $170,000 through electric bill contributions, raffles, and other events. Those funds allowed 475 veterans to make the trip.

At Holmes-Wayne Electric Co-op, the trips “created a culture of service” among its 38 employees, according to HWEC’s Robyn Tate.

“The trips brought healing to many veterans carrying decades of deep emotional wounds and were a fresh reminder that as a cooperative, we provide more than electricity,” says Tate. “We have the privilege, the honor, and, I feel, the obligation to make a difference by reaching out and caring for individuals in our community.”

Hancock-Wood program helps partners upgrade lighting Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative, based in North Baltimore, has provided rebates through its Commercial and Industrial Lighting Program to two of its members to help offset the cost of upgrading their lighting systems. Elmwood Local Schools upgraded its facilities to LED lighting as a more energy-efficient option for the district and received a $30,000 rebate. Keystone Foods, a global food company, upgraded its old inefficient incandescent lighting to LED and received a $15,000 rebate through Hancock-Wood’s program.

Several electric cooperatives around the state offer such rebates.

Both business and individual members can ask at their local co-op to see if rebates are currently available for lighting upgrades.

Logan County chamber honors Petty, co-op The Logan County Chamber of Commerce named General Manager Rick Petty and his 20 employees at Logan County Electric Cooperative the county’s entrepreneur and business of the month for September.

Eighty-two years after it first brought power to the area, Logan County Electric Cooperative currently serves 4,620 consumermembers and maintains 679 miles of lines.

Gather ’round THE TABLE

Thanksgiving is a venerable tradition at the Golden Lamb

BY DAMAINE VONADA

Pumpkin pie may rule on Thanksgiving, but at Lebanon’s Golden Lamb, Sister Lizzie’s Shaker sugar pie gives it serious competition. The cream-style pie, a perpetual customer favorite, is based on a recipe that was accidentally discovered after Robert and Virginia Jones purchased the Golden Lamb in 1926.

“The Joneses found the handwritten recipe inside a Shaker cabinet they got at a yard sale and gave it to their chef,” says General Manager Bill Kilimnik. “They liked it, and patrons liked it so much that Shaker sugar pie has lived on at the Golden Lamb ever since.”

Considering the Golden Lamb’s history dates to 1803, though, the recipe seems like a modern addition. The Golden Lamb is Ohio’s oldest continually operated business and also holds at least the unofficial state record for consecutive years serving Thanksgiving dinners. The staff has dished up Thanksgiving spreads every year since at least 1870, when Congress officially made Thanksgiving Day a federal holiday. “President Lincoln declared a national day of Thanksgiving in the 1860s,” notes Kilimnik. “The Golden Lamb obviously was open and serving dinners on that day too.”

For many people, going to the Golden Lamb for Thanksgiving has evolved into a tradition. “About 50 percent of our Thanksgiving dinner guests have eaten here for multiple years,” says Kilimnik. “We have fourth and fifth generations of families coming throughout the holiday season.” This year, he expects between 1,450 and 1,650 guests on Thanksgiving Day, plus many more who prefer to observe the holiday on the preceding Wednesday or the following Friday and Saturday. “Altogether, we’ll 30

prepare more than 2,000 pounds of turkey and at least 30 gallons of turkey gravy,” Kilimnik says.

The Golden Lamb’s multicourse Thanksgiving dinners always begin with the signature relish platter, which is served family style and features house-made specialties such as pimento cheese and pickled watermelon rind.

Subsequent courses are a la carte, and diners choose from three different entrees — oven-roasted turkey with all the trimmings, carved beef tenderloin accompanied by seasonal vegetables and cabernet jus, and a vegetarian dish such as mushroom ravioli that gives a modern twist to the Golden Lamb’s traditional fare.

The folks at the Golden Lamb pride themselves on procuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the kitchen makes virtually everything from scratch. Stock for their turkey gravy starts with bones and is cooked for two days, while cranberry sauce is made from a tried-and-true recipe that includes whole berries, cinnamon sticks, and orange peel. “Our cranberry sauce tastes so good,” says Kilimnik, “it’ll make your socks go up and down.”

Lebanon was a newly platted town when Jonas Seaman started the Golden Lamb as a “house of public entertainment” in 1803. A Shaker community soon sprouted nearby, and thanks to Lebanon’s location on a stagecoach route between Columbus and Cincinnati, the Golden Lamb thrived as a travelers’ hotel and restaurant.

After a fire in the 1930s, the Joneses needed to refurnish the Golden Lamb’s guest rooms on a shoestring budget, so they began buying old, unwanted items that had been made and used at the Shakers’ failed settlement.

Today, the Golden Lamb anchors downtown Lebanon and is a historical gem that offers guests an incomparable experience: fine dining and unique lodging against the backdrop of a priceless collection of those Shaker antiques and artifacts. During its 200-plus years, the Golden Lamb has hosted a bevy of U.S. presidents and notables — including John Quincy Adams, Charles Dickens, and Ronald Reagan — as well as untold numbers of everyday travelers, businessmen, tourists, and Sunday drivers hungering for their famous chicken dinners. Robert and Virginia Jones’ family still owns the Golden Lamb, and their remarkable furnishings range from an original stagecoach bench to the simple wooden cabinet that once held the recipe for the Shaker sugar pie that is now a musthave at the Golden Lamb’s Thanksgiving feasts.

The Golden Lamb, 27 S. Broadway, Lebanon, OH 45036.

WOODS, WATERS, AND WILDLIFE

CRIME DOGS

Ohio Division of Wildlife forms a K-9 program to help in the field STORY AND PHOTOS BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS

A

s hunting seasons open this fall, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Wildlife will have five more wildlife officers patrolling the state’s woods, fields, and marshes. Unlike the other 100 or so state wildlife officers, the new recruits will have cold, wet noses and wagging tails; they’re K-9s.

For the first time in its nearly 70-year history, the Ohio DNR has joined more than 20 other state conservation agencies in employing K-9 officers. During the past year, five dogs and their handlers have been trained and assigned — one per wildlife district.

Selected for the specialized duty were veteran state wildlife officers Jeremy Carter, Josh Elster, Chris Gilkey, Jason Keller, and Matt Leibengood. Their furry partners are Finn, Mila, Mattis, Scout, and May, respectively — three German shepherds and two Labrador retrievers.

All five dogs are less than 2 years old and were purchased with donations from the Division of Wildlife’s many conservation partners and sponsors.

“The dogs were trained to detect six different scents — gunpowder, waterfowl, turkey, deer, and fish, as well as ginseng,” says Gilkey. Ginseng is a highly regulated plant that grows wild in the eastern U.S., including Ohio, and its roots are frequently dug illegally, out of season, by poachers.

“The temptation is the root’s high market value — anywhere from $300 to $900 per dried pound,” Gilkey says. “These dogs will be a great tool in helping us win the fight against ginseng poaching in Ohio, as well as against fish and game poachers in general.”

For instance, in an illegal road-shooting case during this year’s spring turkey-hunting season, Mattis helped locate two shotgun shell wads and the wounded turkey.

“He located the first wad, which had been in the pouring rain, within five minutes, and he found the second wad 15 minutes later,” Gilkey says. “Mattis also had one apprehension where his mere barking made the suspected poacher give up and comply with my commands.” Mattis was born and raised in Germany, so Gilkey has to speak to the dog in German to give it commands.

The new K-9s will assist other law enforcement agencies as well. For instance, just a month after graduation, Carter and Finn were called to the location of an alleged assault, and Finn located crucial evidence within only a few minutes of arrival.

ODNR cruisers are specially equipped to transport K-9 officers.

32 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • NOVEMBER 2018

The Division of Wildlife also looks to capitalize on the public relations value of the dogs. “Most everyone loves dogs,” says Gilkey, “so we plan to use the K-9 officers as a way to make contact with those people who may not necessarily hunt or fish, including school kids. The dogs will give us many opportunities to tell our story of what we do as a state agency in managing Ohio’s wildlife.”

K-9 officer Mattis in various stages of training: top, with ODNR officers Chris Gilkey and Jeremy Carter (in the “bite suit”); top inset, with Gilkey tracking in the snow; and demonstrating his training by lying down when he detects potential evidence.

According to Gilkey, wildlife law enforcement is statistically the most dangerous law enforcement job in the world, mainly because most wildlife officers work alone much of the time, with any potential backup many minutes and miles away. “But now with Mattis, I have backup with me full time,” he says.

“If I’m away from my vehicle and have left my dog inside, and I become involved in a life-threatening situation — an altercation with a poacher, for instance — I can push the deploy button on a pager on my belt and the doors to my vehicle swing open. The dog is then trained to immediately track me by scent and come to my aid, protecting me from an assailant, if necessary. That’s a very comforting feeling.”
