22 FOLLOWING THE HOUNDS

Our outdoors editor spent a morning on a fox hunt. He returned with a newfound admiration for the riders, their horses, the pack, and their prey.

Ohio State University's dairy herd is getting a modern new home on the Columbus campus.

Cover image on most editions: Foxhunting is a tradition brought to this continent during colonial times — and is kept going these days by groups like the Rocky Fork Headley Hunt in Gahanna. Each hunt (technically a “chase,” since no animals are harmed) begins with a toast by the Masters of Foxhounds: from left, Sally Crane Cox, Sharon Chappelear, Dave Straub, and Stephanie Phillips (photograph by W.H. “Chip” Gross).

Making Ben proud

My still-new role leading Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, as you might expect, requires a good bit of trying to see into the future in order to make the best decisions about our path ahead. Part of knowing where you’re going, however, also means understanding the past.

Reflecting on our industry often brings to mind one of my favorite founding fathers, Ben Franklin. Rising from humble beginnings, Franklin became a renowned businessman, inventor, community leader, and diplomat. His early experiments with electricity made him famous, and I wonder what he would think of the incredible advances that have come thanks to his influence.

One of the questions we wrestle with as electric cooperatives is what to do about one of those advances: electric vehicles. Personally, I have little experience with EVs (I’ve never driven one). I often hear about their impressive performance and the convenience of home charging, but it’s important to acknowledge there are real concerns, including range anxiety, battery longevity, and performance in cold weather.

That’s why EVs are often seen as more suitable for urban areas, where charging is more readily available and daily drives are generally shorter. On page 4, we explore the growth in the use of EVs (or lack of it) across rural Ohio, including the experiences of co-op members who own them and have found that, even in rural areas, EVs can indeed fit their lifestyles and travel needs.

Of course, EV growth is part of a wider trend of explosive growth in the demand for electricity, as manufacturing returns to our shores while artificial intelligence and large data centers continue to draw more and more power from our grid.

Ohio’s electric cooperatives and Buckeye Power, the operator of the power plants that supply their electricity, are uniquely positioned to respond to the evolving demand for electricity and will play a pivotal role in this evolution. Being member-owned organizations, we are committed to ensuring that affordable and reliable electricity is always available — whether that means increasing generation or expanding distribution systems to accommodate increasing demand.

I think Ben Franklin would be both amazed by and proud of his role in laying the groundwork for all that electricity has made possible since his famous kite experiment in 1752. Just as electric lightbulbs, heating, and cooling changed the world not so long ago, EVs and AI are doing the same today. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see what electricity will do for us in the future.

Electric vehicles

and the co-op

Local cooperatives make sure they’re ready to serve members who choose to make the switch.

BY AMY HOWAT

Seemingly every week brings a new story about how electric vehicles are growing in popularity. While that’s true in general, the trend isn’t consistent everywhere.

Sales of EVs, in fact, set an all-time high in the last quarter of 2024. A deeper dive into those numbers, however, shows that residents of rural areas are much less likely than urban or suburban dwellers to purchase them. “Range anxiety,” the fear of electric vehicle drivers that they don’t have enough battery charge to reach their destination or a charger, grows more acute the farther folks get from densely populated areas.

In Ohio, the penetration of EVs in rural regions is less than half of that in cities and suburbs. Electric cooperatives in the state recognize that there’s some portion of their membership that might desire an EV but holds back based on outdated or incorrect assumptions.

“There’s a lot of skepticism about EVs,” says Ed VanHoose, president and CEO of Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative and North Central Electric Cooperative, which serve mainly rural parts of 12 counties in the northern part of the state. “But for many people in rural areas, an EV or a plug-in hybrid may prove to be the perfect car. I encourage people to keep an open mind and see what works best for them.”

EV advantages

Karen Carlisle, a member of Carroll Electric Cooperative in Carrollton, bought a Tesla Model 3 EV in 2020 because she wanted to reduce her impact on the environment and because it made economic sense for her.

“Anyone who wants one can make it work,” she says. “You put in a charger at home and, unless you live a couple hundred miles from civilization, you’ll be able to get wherever you want to go.”

Carlisle, a retired engineer who lives at Lake Mohawk in Carroll County, relies on her home charger for day-today driving. “I worked at NASA in Cleveland, which is an 80-mile commute each way,” she says. “I could go up and back easily in one charge.” In retirement, she frequently drives her EV to visit her son near Atlanta and says the Tesla app makes it easy to know when and where to charge on longer trips. “Once you get over that anxiety of ‘Oh my gosh, am I going to make it?’ you get used to driving and charging and don’t think about it any more than you would getting gas.”

Paul Beineke and his wife, Cheryl, members of Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative in Kenton, have had a similar

experience since they purchased their first EV in 2017. “We were commuting about 170 miles per day at the time,” says Beineke, a retired Air Force colonel and pilot who lives on a farm near Marion and drives a Tesla. “We had concerns about range anxiety and charging availability, but we’ve found charging at home to be really convenient. Now, we drive 50 to 70 miles a day, and appreciate not having to stop at gas stations. We’ve never found ourselves in a situation when we ran out of charge.”

VanHoose, for his part, drives a plug-in hybrid electric Jeep Cherokee, which combines a chargeable battery with a gas-powered engine. “For everyday use, going from home to either office, I’m using the electric charge. But maybe once a month, I go to Columbus. I’ll make it 30 or 40 miles on the charge and the rest of the drive is using gas.” Before switching to the PHEV, he was filling up his tank once or twice a week; now, it’s more like once a month.

Co-ops and EVs

Beineke, who is also a Mid-Ohio trustee, sees the skepticism toward EVs in rural communities and knows that co-ops play a key role in providing good information.

“People have legitimate questions,” he says. “It’s smart to ask questions of people you trust. We, as the co-op, can help them address those questions and make an informed choice.”

LMRE and NCE developed an initiative, aptly called “EVs in Rural America,” to gather and share information with their members. “We decided a few years back that we were going to help dispel myths about EVs,” VanHoose says. “We wanted to show our members what it means to own one, with solid data.”

The two co-ops have been converting their vehicle fleets to a mix of EVs and plug-in hybrids, purposely buying different models of cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks from several manufacturers. “We’ve not only lowered our total costs, but we’re keeping track of everything so we can provide real-life information to help our members understand their options,” VanHoose says.

“For example, we can give really robust answers when members ask about ranges,” he says. “We’re in northern Ohio and we know that in the cold season, batteries don’t perform as well. Also, based on our experience with the co-op’s Silverado and Ford Lightning, we know that when you’re towing, the range goes to nearly nothing,” so members may not want to replace their heavy-duty work trucks with EVs — although he says new technologies are on their way to help there as well.

EV economics

EVs will generally command a higher initial purchase price and cost more to register in Ohio. However, data from the U.S. Department of Transportation show that the electricity required to drive an EV 15,000 miles in a year costs $600, on average, while the gas needed to drive the same distance averages $2,700 (maintenance and repair costs can be 50% lower than with a conventional vehicle as well).

Those lower fuel costs can be especially beneficial to rural residents, who generally drive more miles per day and spend a larger portion of their household income on transportation than their urban counterparts.

Beineke says his family has seen significant savings with their EV. “At an average rate of about 12 cents a kilowatthour, I know I can go about 30 miles on $1.30 of electricity. Can you do that on $1.30 of gas? I don’t have to do oil changes, and that’s rather nice, too.”

Co-ops around the state are also doing their part to both alleviate range anxiety and enhance the economic advantage EVs may provide members who own them or are considering an EV purchase.

Several co-ops offer public charging at their offices, and some have installed public charging stations at schools

EVs by the numbers

While the number of electric vehicles in the U.S. has continued to grow, the overall numbers are still small when compared to gas-powered vehicles. According to Cox Automotive, EVs accounted for 8% of the nearly 16 million vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2024 — up from 7.6% in 2023 — but they still make up a small percentage of total vehicles on the road.

and elsewhere around their communities, as well. Many — Carroll Electric, LMRE, and NCE included — provide $250 rebates for members who install Level 2 chargers at their homes. Some already have or are looking into time-of-use rates that make it less expensive to charge vehicles overnight.

Butler Rural Electric Cooperative in Oxford, which has a more suburban membership and a higher penetration of EVs than many co-ops, has even developed a special rate called the EV Rider that rewards EV owners for charging during those less expensive off-peak hours. The co-op offers a generous rebate for members who both install Level 2 chargers and sign up for the rate.

“EVs can be really advantageous for commuters, and we’re seeing more and more of them,” says Tom Wolfenbarger, Butler REC’s general manager. “When members charge off-peak, it’s better for them and it’s better for the co-op as well. Our program is pretty new, but we’ve gotten good response so far.”

“I’m not of the mindset that all vehicles will be electric, but I think EVs are here to stay, whether they grow to be 10% or 30% of vehicles,” Wolfenbarger says. “We’re making sure we’re prepared to handle the demand.”

Types of EVs

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV):

Fully powered by an electric battery; no gaspowered components.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): Contains an engine, electric motor, and large battery; can operate in electric-only mode, engineonly mode, or hybrid mode (battery and gas)

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): Low-emission vehicles; electric motor assists gas-powered engine. Fully powered by gasoline (no charging).

State fish hatcheries invite the public for a peek behind the curtain.

BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS

Do you like to fish? Me too. As a kid, one of my earliest memories was of sitting beside a pond fishing for bluegills with my father. As he instructed me, I stared intently at the small, round, red-and-white bobber floating on the surface of the water a few feet in front of us, willing it to move. When it finally danced sideways, Dad quickly issued further advice. “Let it go all the way under before you begin to reel.” The excitement of watching that bobber slowly descend into the depths is a thrill I’ve never forgotten. I’ve been hooked ever since. — Chip

The responsibility of making sure that the Buckeye State’s public lakes, rivers, and streams are full of fish for Ohio’s 2 million anglers is the job of the Division of Wildlife of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. One of Ohio’s oldest state agencies, the division was created in 1873 (then named the Ohio Fish Commission) in response to declining native fish populations.

As a result, fish hatcheries were built throughout the state, and since then, more than 2 .7 billion fish have been stocked in Ohio's waters — 41 million last year alone. Many of those fish are stocked as fry, no bigger than “two eyes and a wiggle,” as fishery biologists term it. Those fry quickly grow into fingerlings, then yearlings, and eventually adults.

“The majority of Ohio’s fish populations are sustained through natural reproduction,” says Chris French, fish hatchery program administrator. “However, stocking expands and diversifies fishing opportunities in waters where existing habitats don’t support some fish populations. Stocking is only one of many fish management tools used by the Division of Wildlife to improve angling.”

Six state fish hatcheries are operated by the division, and if you’ve ever wondered what magic is involved in raising fish for stocking, here’s an opportunity to peek behind the curtain: Each of the hatcheries hosts an open house each spring. The events are very popular with the public, especially families with kids. In short, you’re invited, so find a fish hatchery near you and check it out.

All of the open houses are held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a Saturday. If you can’t make any of the scheduled dates, self-guided hatchery tours are conducted during normal business hours, and educational tours can also be arranged.

“The funding for Ohio’s state fish hatcheries comes from the sale of Ohio fishing licenses and the Sport Fish Restoration Act,” French says. “Enacted in 1950, the Sport Fish Restoration program provides funding for sport fish conservation through federal excise taxes on sport fishing equipment, import duties on fishing tackle and pleasure boats, and a portion of the gasoline fuel tax attributable to small engines and motorboats.”

If you’re new to fishing, or maybe would like to give it a try again, the annual Free Fishing Days weekend is scheduled for June 14–15, when no fishing license is required of Ohio residents. But don’t be surprised if you’re the one who gets hooked. Note: Kids under 16 years of age are never required to have a fishing license in Ohio.

Farming for wildlife

Co-op member uses USDA program to convert farmland to wildlife habitat.

It’s easy to tell you’re approaching the farm of Union Rural Electric Cooperative member Steve Graham. When the seemingly endless crop fields of corn and soybeans suddenly give way to acres upon acres of waving native prairie grasses studded with brilliantly colored wildflowers, it’s a refreshing change in a sea of sameness.

Graham’s 110-acre farm has been in his family for a century, he says, and for much of that time, it blended in with the surrounding landscape. That changed when he and his brother began managing the farm about 20 years ago. “We decided to not continue planting the usual row crops because, as marginal farmland, the rent money we were receiving barely covered the taxes,” he says. “Instead, we took advantage of a state/federal program designed for such acres and converted most of the farm to conservation practices.”

Now, 100 of those acres are used for wildlife habitat and soil preservation.

The original farm contained a few small woodlots, which Graham kept. Also, because much of his ground is made up of waterloving hydric soil, he built a sizable pond and large wetland, paying for their construction through cost-sharing. The wildlife haven now attracts myriad songbirds, waterfowl, pollinators, white-tailed deer, and even a bald eagle or two.

Under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Conservation Reserve Program, established in 1985, the government pays farmers to

Steve Graham (below) uses the majority of his 110-acre family farm in Union County as wildlife habitat, including acres of prairie land and a pond that stands near the site of the original barn, which was raised in 1911 (above).

take former croplands out of production and convert them to vegetative cover. Graham participates in an offshoot of that program, the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, or CREP, which uses state and federal funds to offer higher payments per acre to qualifying participants.

The program is not available in every Ohio county. Where it is an option, the acres eligible for CREP enrollment are determined by the Natural Resources Conservation Service office within each county. All of Union County falls within the Scioto River watershed, and at least 20 cities downstream tap the Scioto for drinking water; since maintaining good water quality upstream is an important goal of the project, the entire county is CREP eligible.

“The bottom line is that by installing and maintaining approved conservation practices, I now receive twice or more the amount of money I was once receiving by renting my land for the production of row crops,” Graham says. “The program has not only allowed me to financially keep the farm in our family, but also to significantly preserve the soil through reduced erosion.”

The transition has also reduced the stress of maintaining all that acreage as farmland. “As my neighbor recently told me, ‘You don’t have to worry about crop prices falling or the combine breaking down during harvesttime,’” he says.

Not that it was always an easy process. Graham says it took a bit of experimentation to figure out the best way to plant the seed for the wildflowers that are so beneficial for pollinators.

“The seed was very small and lightweight, so to make it disperse through the mechanical planter more slowly, my NRCS office advised me to mix dry cat litter with the seed,” he says. “I found that a 10-to-1 ratio of cat litter to wildflower seed was about right, and since I was attempting to cover 60 acres, that translated to 2,200 pounds of litter to 214 pounds of seed.” That solution worked perfectly except for one thing: “It seemed I was always waiting for my local farm store to restock its supply of cat litter.”

As we considered themes for this year’s annual Reader Recipe Contest (see page 26), we noticed that there are some dishes that come in over and over — the theme notwithstanding. Here are our versions of some of the most common contest entries through the years.

LAYERED TACO DIP

Walking tacos, taco salads, taco pizzas, taco casseroles, even fish tacos have popped up in our reader recipe contests, but no tacothemed dish has appeared as many times as the beloved taco dip, with as many unique variations as you can imagine.

Prep: 15 minutes | Servings: 8 to 12

16-ounce can refried beans

¼ cup taco sauce

8 ounces cream cheese, softened (regular or light)

8 ounces sour cream (regular or light)

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

2.25-ounce can sliced black olives, drained (optional) tortilla chips or buttery crackers

In a small mixing bowl, combine refried beans and taco sauce. In a shallow, microwave-safe dish (glass or ceramic pie plate works well), spread refried beans in an even layer. In the now-empty bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Spread evenly across the refried beans, then cover with cheese. Heat in microwave 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is mostly melted (be careful handling plate when removing from microwave). Sprinkle olives on top (if desired). Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

RECIPES AND PHOTOGRAPHS

SAUSAGE-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Most of our readers believe stuffed mushrooms are best when made with cream cheese, and even better with sausage.

Prep: 25 minutes | Bake: 20 minutes | Servings: 20 to 25 mushrooms

16 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, brushed clean

1 tablespoon butter

8 ounces sweet Italian sausage

¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon ground sage

¼ teaspoon ground thyme

¼ teaspoon pepper

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Remove mushroom stems from caps and finely chop stems. Arrange caps on a greased baking sheet. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté sausage with chopped mushroom stems, continually breaking up the sausage until cooked through and moisture from mushrooms has evaporated. Remove from heat; mix in breadcrumbs, garlic powder, sage, thyme, pepper, and cream cheese.

Preheat oven to 400 F. With a small spoon, generously fill mushroom caps with stuffing, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake until tops are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

WASHINGTON ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE LOCAL PAGES

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Clearing the path to reliability

One of Washington Electric Cooperative’s most important ongoing projects is right-of-way clearing, or vegetation management. Keeping power lines clear of trees, limbs and brush helps the co-op:

• Reduce power interruptions

• Improve service reliability

• Restore outages more quickly

What is a right-of-way?

• Avoid unexpected and costly repairs

• Create a safer environment for crews and the community

A right-of-way is the strip of land underneath or around power lines and transformers that Washington Electric Cooperative has the right and responsibility to maintain and clear. We must keep trees and other vegetation a proper distance from equipment in order to prevent harm to people or disruptions in electric service. Specifications vary, but a general rule of thumb for maintaining a safe right-of-way is 15 to 20 feet of clearance on either side of primary lines. The area above poles and wires should be kept completely clear of all vegetation. Shrubs and other plants should be kept a minimum of 10 feet away from padmounted, or ground, transformers.

Why is it important?

Trees cause about two-thirds of all Washington Electric power outages every year, so clearing the right-of-way is vital to keeping our members’ power on. Branches and limbs that come into contact with power lines can cause voltage fluctuations, blinking lights, or even an outage for cooperative members. Right-of-way clearing also keeps your family safer by ensuring that tree branches and vegetation do not become energized due to close contact with a downed power line or other electrical equipment. A power line touching a tree branch can be incredibly dangerous — even deadly. Be mindful when around trees that are close to power lines and make sure children know that climbing trees near power lines or playing near pad-mounted transformers is extremely dangerous.

As a co-op, Washington Electric always strives to keep costs down for our members. It is more cost-effective to undertake preventive maintenance than it is to make repairs after the

fact. If trees and other vegetation are left unchecked, they can become overgrown and expensive to correct. A strategic vegetation management program helps keep costs down for everyone.

Our responsibility

Washington Electric maintains 1,700 miles of line that bring power to more than 10,500 homes and businesses. Each year, we make a plan for tree contractors to work in specific areas of the cooperative’s service territory to try to keep ahead of any potential issues. Contractors clear trees, limbs, and brush using a combination of equipment such as chain saws, bucket trucks, mowers, helicopters, etc.

After a right-of-way is cleared, it is our goal to apply herbicide within one year of clearing an area to stop regrowth of woody plant species that can quickly take over the right-ofway and cause power outages and access issues. Herbicide is then reapplied about three to four years after the initial application. Herbicide is a very important part of the overall vegetation management plan because once we clear a rightof-way, it creates an environment where the undesirable plants and trees can thrive with great access to sunlight and little competition from other plant species.

The herbicide mix we use is safe and promotes growth of low-growing plant species that create an environmentally sustainable habitat for pollinators and other wildlife, which is a win-win for all.

You can help

When it comes to vegetation management, there are ways you can help, too. When planting new trees, make sure they’re planted a safe distance from overhead power lines. Medium-height trees (40 feet or smaller) should be planted at least 25 feet from power lines. Taller trees (over 40 feet) should be planted at least 50 feet from power lines. You can also practice safe planting near pad-mounted transformers. Plant shrubs at least 10 feet from the transformer door and 4 feet from the sides.

Additionally, if you spot an overgrown tree or branch that’s dangerously close to overhead lines, please let us know by contacting us at 740-373-2141.

2025 Plans

Fila’s Tree Service was awarded the bid to clear approximately 100 miles of right-of-way in the following areas of our system in Noble and Washington counties during 2025:

• Noble County: Lines extending from South Olive to Dudley, Fulda, Macksburg, and Middleburg

• Washington County: Lines extending from Churchtown to Watertown, Muskingum River Road, Huck Road, and Warren Chappel Road.

An aerial saw operated from a helicopter will be used to side-trim trees in many of the above areas. We will keep members in areas where this is being done informed via social media, postcards, and/or phone calls. Please make sure we have your current phone number on file to receive these and other important calls from us.

ProtecTerra was awarded the bid to apply herbicide to approximately 500 miles of right-of-way in the following areas of our system:

• Central Washington County

• West of I77 – Stanleyville Road, Glendale Road, Caywood Road, Grub Road, Whipple Run Road, Sugar Run Road

• Western Washington County

• Watertown area – Rauch Road, Turkey Hen, Warren Chapel Road, Benedict Road, Pine Ridge

ways to help limit tree trimming

1. Plant trees in the right place. Trees that will be <40 feet should be planted at least 25 feet away from power lines (>40 feet should be at least 50 feet away).

Road, Anderson Road, Fisher Ridge Road, Deming Road

• Palmer Square, SR 676 between Watertown and Dale, Buchanan Road, Luke Chute

• Eastern Washington County

• SR26 from Pleasant Ridge to Wingett Run

• Bear Run, County Road 9, Archers Fork, Shay Ridge, Wingett Run, Bloomfield

• Dalzell, Germantown

• Monroe County

• State Route 260, Witten Creek, Lebanon, SR 565

• Pleasants Ridge, Hartshorn Ridge, Graysville, Greenbrier Road

• Jericho Low Gap, Brownsville, Rock Camp, Bethel Ridge, Trail Run, Kreig Road

Members in areas planned for herbicide will be notified via a postcard and a representative from ProtecTerra.

In addition to the above planned work, we will use Asplundh crews to work around the system to clear areas with immediate needs due to outages or project work, or for new services.

Washington Electric has deep roots in our community, and we love our beautiful surroundings. Consistently delivering electricity takes a balanced approach, and our vegetation management program is a crucial tool in ensuring service reliability.

Did you know electric utilities are required to trim trees and other types of vegetation that grow too close to overhead power lines? We know you love your trees, and we will do everything we can to avoid trimming them. Here’s how you can help:

2. Don’t block pad-mounted transformers. Plant shrubs at least 10 feet away from transformer doors and 4 feet from transformer sides.

3. Report dangerous branches. If you spot a tree or branch that is dangerously close to power lines, please let us know.

WEC billing specialist graduates from Leadership Edge program

Brandee Nau, billing specialist at Washington Electric Cooperative, has successfully completed the Leadership Edge program offered by Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives.

The Leadership Edge program provides training in key areas such as leadership, communication, decision-making, and problem-solving. It equips participants with the tools to take on more responsibility and improve their overall effectiveness at work. Nau, who is responsible for managing billing operations

at WEC, found that the program broadened her perspective on her role and the cooperative’s goals.

“I learned a lot about leadership, communication, and the bigger picture of how cooperatives operate,” Nau says. “Even though my main job is in billing, understanding how everything fits together at the cooperative will help me work more effectively with my team and improve how we serve our members.”

Washington Electric has always prioritizes employee development. The Leadership Edge program is just one example of how the cooperative invests in its people.

According to General Manager/CEO Jeff Triplett, Nau’s completion of the program is a reflection of the cooperative’s commitment to building a strong and capable team.

“Brandee’s completion of Leadership Edge is a great achievement, and we’re proud of the effort she’s put into developing her skills,” Triplett says. “This program has helped her gain valuable leadership insights that will benefit her and the entire team as we continue to work toward providing quality service to our members.”

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

TIP OF THE MONTH

Daylight saving begins March 9

March is an ideal time to service your home cooling system, ensuring it runs efficiently when the heat of summer arrives. Routine maintenance, like cleaning or replacing filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting parts, can improve your system’s energy efficiency and lower your energy bills. By addressing potential issues early, you can avoid costly emergency repairs and extend the lifespan of your unit. Scheduling service in the spring helps you beat the peak-season rush, giving you faster access to qualified technicians. A well-maintained cooling system can save energy and keep your home comfortable all summer long.

Following the

the hounds

Ohio Cooperative Living outdoors editor W.H. “Chip” Gross spent a morning this past autumn observing a fox hunt with the 100-yearold Rocky Fork Headley Hunt in Gahanna, one of more than 100 such traditional foxhunting clubs throughout the U.S. and Canada. He returned with newfound admiration for the riders, their horses, the pack, and their prey.*

As seen here, a dozen or more foxhounds can make up a pack for a day’s hunt.

* Not to worry; foxes are no longer killed in this modern-day version of the ancient sport.

Foxhounds are trained to return to the sound of a hunting horn following a chase.

This hunt included the annual Blessing of the Hounds ceremony — which also means blessing the riders.

Riders follow the pack, guided by horn calls from the huntsman. The Rocky Fork Headley Hunt is more accurately described as a “chase,” since there is no intention of capturing or harming the prey.

Prior to the first formal hunt of the season, a bagpiper leads Rocky Fork Headley Hunt club members to the annual Blessing of the Hounds ceremony. The club hunts twice weekly from autumn through spring.

Foxhunting clubs were brought to this country shortly after the first colonists arrived (a young George Washington was an enthusiast), and the tradition since has been passed from generation to generation.

Hounds are trained to track both coyotes and foxes. Hunts end when the quarry hides in its burrow.

STORY BY MARGARET BURANEN

Ohio State University’s herd of Jersey dairy cows will soon have a permanent new home. The cows, currently in temporary housing at OSU’s Wooster campus, should be back in Columbus in a new $6 2 million facility by the end of the year.

Part of the new $52 million Multispecies Animal Learning Center within OSU’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, the new dairy building replaces the outdated Waterman Dairy Center, which was built in 1972 . Construction began in February 2024 , and if it continues to stay on track, the herd should be back in Columbus by this November.

The dairy’s prime location just off of Lane Avenue, near the main entrance to the Columbus campus, reinforces the importance of agriculture to the university and the state, says Maurice Eastridge, senior associate chair of animal sciences and dairy extension specialist at Ohio State, and the new dairy was designed with education of students as the top priority. “Public education and research needs are its second and third missions,” Eastridge says.

Into the modern era

Eastridge, a member of Marysville-based Union Rural Electric Cooperative, grew up helping on his parents’ and grandfather’s dairy farms in Kentucky. He knew from an early age that he wanted to work in agriculture with farm animals. Now he’s helping bring the profession into modern times.

Labor shortages on farms and the increasing number of farmers reaching retirement age, Eastridge says, have necessitated the development and adoption of automatic,

Ohio State University’s dairy herd preps for a modern new home.

or robotic, systems, which require knowledgeable workers skilled in agricultural technology to install and maintain them. The new dairy will include a state-of-theart Lely robotic milker, which will give students hands-on experience with the latest technology so they’re qualified to fill those evolving, high-paying jobs.

Eastridge says plans had been in the works for years to upgrade the dairy, but were scrapped when engineering studies revealed that it would be cheaper to build a new one.

At one time, Ohio State's dairy herd had cows from the five major dairy breeds. Eventually, with campus space at more and more of a premium, the decision was made to pare the herd to only Holsteins and Jerseys, and in 2009 , the Holsteins were sold and only the smaller Jerseys were kept.

The process to upgrade the dairy took a major step in 2023 , when the university sold off some of the remaining Jerseys so that the entire herd could be accommodated at the OSU facility in Wooster.

An entire dairy ecosystem

The new dairy will have three parts: the robotic milking system, a feeding robot and automatic feed kitchen, and robots to manage manure.

The cows wander at will into the milking parlor, two or three times per day. Eastridge says the grain the cows get to eat while being milked serves as “a carrot” to draw them into the barn. When a cow moves into a milking station, gates in front and behind her shut to keep her in place and prevent another cow from getting in the way. Each cow’s ID tag, read by a scanner, tells the automatic feeding system how much food to dispense.

The amount of milk each cow produces at each milking is automatically recorded. If a cow isn’t coming in to be milked or is producing less than the normal amount, the herdsman checks her for illness or some other problem.

The Lely milker can accommodate 60 cows at a time, and while the new dairy will have only one of them when it opens, space will be available to add another if and when it's needed.

Future plans for the dairy also include a milk processing plant. Once that’s in place, visitors will be able to see the complete process of milk production — grain grown in a pasture nearby used to feed the cows, which are then milked automatically, and the milk sent directly to the processing facility and into cartons, ready for the consumer to purchase.

To watch a video on a Lely robotic milking system, scan QR code below.

Maurice Eastridge, OSU professor and dairy extension specialist, says students will learn using state-of-the-art equipment, such as a Lely robotic milking system like this one (and below right) that can accommodate 60 cows at a time.

Doctor urges seniors to carry medical alert device

Seniors snap up new medical alert device that comes with no monthly bills

People don’t always do what their doctor says, but when seasoned veteran emergency room physician, Dr. Philip B. Howren, says every senior should have a medical alert device, you better listen up.

“Seniors are just one fall away from being put in a nursing home,” Dr. Howren said. “With a medical alert device, seniors are never alone. So it keeps them living independently in their own home. That’s why seniors and their family members are snapping up a sleek new medical alert device that comes with no monthly bills ever,” he said.

Many seniors refuse to wear old style help buttons because they make them look old. But even worse, those medical alert systems

come with monthly bills.

To solve these problems

Universal Physicians, a U.S. company went to work to develop a new, modern, state-of-the-art medical alert device. It’s called “FastHelp™” and it instantly connects you to free unlimited nationwide help everywhere cell service is available with no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills ever.

“This slick new little device is designed to look like the pagers doctors wear every day. Seniors love them because it actually makes them look important, not old,” Dr. Howren said.

FastHelp is expected to hit store shelves later this year. But special newspaper promotional giveaways are slated for seniors in select areas. ■

■ NO MONTHLY BILLS: “My wife had an old style help button that came with hefty bills every month and she was embarrassed to wear it because it made her look old,” said Frank McDonald, Canton, Ohio. “Now, we both have FastHelp™, the sleek new medical alert device that our grandkids say makes us look ‘cool’ not old,” he said. With FastHelp, seniors never have to worry about being alone and the best part is there are no monthly bills ever.

Seniors born before 1961 get new medical alert device with no monthly bills ever

It’s just what seniors have been waiting for; a sleek new medical alert device with no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills that instantly connects you to free unlimited nationwide help with just the push of a button for a one-time $149 price tag that’s a real steal after today’s instant rebate

The phone lines are ringing off the hook.

That’s because for seniors born before 1961, it’s a deal too good to pass up.

Starting at precisely 8:30am this morning the Pre-Store Release begins for the sleek new medical alert device that comes with the exclusive FastHelp™ One-Touch E 911 Button that instantly connects you to unlimited nationwide help everywhere cell service is available with no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills ever.

“It’s not like old style monitored help buttons that make you talk to a call center and only work when you’re at home and come with hefty bills every month. FastHelp comes with state-of-the-art cellular embedded technology. That means it works at home or anywhere, anytime cell service is available

FastHelp,

whether you’re out watering the garden, driving in a car, at church or even hundreds of miles away on a tour or at a casino. You are never alone. With just a single push of the One-Touch E Button you instantly get connected to free unlimited help nationwide with no monthly bills ever,” said Jack Lawrence, Executive Director of Product Development for U.S. based Universal Physicians.

“We’ve never seen anything like it. Consumers absolutely love the sleek new modern design and most of all, the instant rebate that practically pays for it and no monthly bills ever,” Lawrence said.

FastHelp is the sleek new medical alert device with the best of combinations: a quality, high-tech engineered device that’s also an extremely great value because there are no monthly bills ever.

Better still, it comes with no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills ever – which makes FastHelp a great choice for seniors, students and professionals because it connects to one of the largest nationwide networks everywhere cell service is available for free.

And here’s the best part. All those who already have an old style monitored medical alert button can immediately eliminate those monthly bills, which is why Universal Physicians is widely advertising this announcement nationwide.

“So if you’ve ever felt a medical alert device was too complicated or expensive, you’ll want to get FastHelp, the sleek new medical alert device with no monthly bills,” said Lawrence.

The medical alert device slugfest was dominated by two main combatants who both offer old style monitored help buttons that come with a hefty bill every month. But now Universal Physicians, the U.S. based heavyweight, just delivered a knockout blow sending the top rated contenders to the mat with the unveiling of FastHelp. It’s the sleek new cellular embedded medical alert device that cuts out the middle-

man by instantly connecting you directly to highly trained 911 operators all across the U.S. There’s absolutely nothing to hookup or install. You don’t need a land line and you don’t need a cell phone. Everything is done for you.

“FastHelp is a state of the art medical alert device designed to make you look important, not old. Old style monitored help buttons you

wear around your neck, or require expensive base station equipment or a landline are the equivalent of a horse and buggy,” Lawrence says. “It’s just outdated.”

Millions of seniors fall every year and spend hours lying on the floor helpless and all alone with no help.

But seniors who fall and get immediate help are much more likely to avoid getting sent to a nursing

home and get to STAY living in their own home independently.

Yet millions of seniors are still risking their safety by not having a medical alert device. That’s because seniors just can’t afford to pay the monthly bills that come with old style medical alert devices.

That’s why seniors born before 1961 are rushing to cash in the whopping $150

instant rebate before the 21 day deadline ends.

So there’s no need to wait for FastHelp to hit store shelves later this year because seniors born before 1961 can get it now just by using the $150 instant rebate coupon printed in today’s newspaper before the 21 day deadline ends. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. ■

You cannot use the rebate coupon below and must pay $299 Call: 1-800-330-9423 DEPT. HELP8505

THE BOTTOM LINE: You don’t need to shop around. We’ve done all the leg work, this deal is too good to pass up. FastHelp with the instant rebate is a real steal at just $149 and shipping and there are no monthly bills ever.

PROS: It’s the sleek new medical alert device that comes with the exclusive FastHelp One-Touch E 911 Button that instantly connects you to free unlimited nationwide help everywhere cell service is available with no contracts or deposits. It connects you to the vast available network of cellular towers for free and saves seniors a ton of money because there are no monthly bills ever making this deal irresistible. Plus it’s the only medical alert device that makes seniors look important, not old.

CONS: Consumers can’t get FastHelp in stores until later this year. That’s why it’s so important for seniors born before 1961 to call the National Rebate Center Hotline within the next 21 days. For those who miss that deadline, the sleek little medical alert device will set you back over $300 bucks.
