Over 200 Black Bear Sightings Reported in Ohio in 2012 One unconfirmed sighting in Brown County for the first time in 2012. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) received 224 sightings reported from an estimated 93 black bears in 2012. Sixty-five of the 224 sightings reported were confirmed by ODNR Division of Wildlife personnel. The number of total sightings in 2012 increased from 152 in 2011. In 2010 there were 163 sightings received. Five black bears accounted for 62 sightings in 2012, although a majority of these were unconfirmed. The number of confirmed sightings is similar to recent years; 60 were confirmed in 2011 and 64 in 2010. Twenty-one counties had confirmed sightings in 2012 from an estimated 35 bears. Northeast Ohio had the most sightings: Portage County had the most total sightings (36) and Trumbull County had the highest confirmed sightings (10). Portage County had six confirmed sightings, while Ashtabula, Geauga and Mahoning counties had five each. There were 39 nuisance reports in 2012, and 17 were confirmed. Nuisance or destructive behavior includes damage to bird feeders, beehives and garbage containers. Black bears were sighted during every month of 2012, and 80 percent of the sightings were reported from May to September. Three sightings of a sow with cubs were unconfirmed, and two sightings of lone cubs were also unconfirmed. The black bear is native to Ohio and on the state’s endangered species list. All black bears in Ohio are protected by state law. Black bears are usually fearful of people. Bears do not attack or kill children or pets as long as the bear is given its space and not cornered. Enjoy bears from a distance. People should remain calm if they see a bear, and they
should not approach it. To report observations of black bears, contact the local county wildlife officer, district wildlife office or call 800WILDLIFE (945-3543). Go to wildohio.com for more information about Ohio’s black bears. Efforts to monitor black bears in Ohio are supported by the Endangered Species and Wildlife Diversity Fund, which receives donations through the sale of Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamps, the state income tax checkoff program and the purchase of cardinal license plates. More information is available at wildohio.com. Black bears were considered extirpated from Ohio in the 1850s. Occasional reports increased into the 1980s, when they were reported annually. The ODNR Division of Wildlife began keeping formal records of observations in 1993. Since that time, bears have been reported in 59 and confirmed in 50 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Brown County had an unconfirmed sighting for the first time in 2012. Because of the large amount of unoccupied, suitable forest habitat available in eastern Ohio, the state’s black bear population is expected to continue to increase in abundance and distribution in future years.

Pictured: Architect’s renderings show the exterior and interior of Southern State Community College’s newest campus to be built in Mt. Orab and open for classes by fall term 2014. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held June 28. Passersby will soon notice a transformation taking place as a barren tract of land is prepped for the two-story, 50,000square-foot complex of Southern State Community College's newest campus. Beginning mid-May, crews will start moving dirt on the 63acre plot at the intersection of State Route 32 and BrooksMalott Road in Mt. Orab. A formal groundbreaking ceremony is slated for June 28. Construction is expected to take at least 12 months and will be open to its first roster of students for Fall Semester 2014. “We are eager to begin the construction phase for the new Southern State campus in Mt. Orab,” said Paul Hall, SSCC Trustee representing Brown County. “Beyond the contribution this campus will make toward recruiting high quality adjunct faculty, it will also allow us to broaden the scope of higher education in the five-county region. The new Mt. Orab campus will no doubt have a positive impact on the economic development of the region.” The new facility will include a community room and public spaces, a learning commons and resource center, general multipurpose classrooms, science labs, nursing labs, HVAC technology labs, a bookstore, and administration and faculty spaces. With the addition of Southern State’s newest campus comes new academic programming as well. “An evening program in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) will be new to Southern State’s degree lineup,” said Dr. Ryan McCall, SSCC Vice President of Academic Affairs. “We will also see the addition of a program in
Computer Forensics & Security and Evidence-Based Management, as well as a brand new nursing lab with simulation space.” Programming that is currently offered on South Campus in Fincastle will be continued on the Mt. Orab Campus, including the college’s Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) courses. Furthermore, the course schedule is being reworked to allow for more accessibility with evening classes. "We still have one more year in our South Campus. Classes will continue through the 2013-14 academic year," said Dr. Kevin Boys, SSCC President. "I'm certain the college's Board of Trustees will be discussing options for that campus in the near future. A representative from the Attorney General's office is coming in to talk to the board about their options." The expansion project has been several years in the making. In 2011, the college’s Board of Trustees moved forward on plans to expand Southern State’s service region by approving a contract to purchase the Mt. Orab tract. In searching for a replacement site for Southern State's current South Campus located near Fincastle, a market analysis identified Mt. Orab— specifically the State Route 32/Appalachian Highway area—as the prime location based on population centers and accessibility. “More than 44,000 people live in Brown County. Proximity to even larger concentrations of people is possible because of the Appalachian Highway,” said Dr. Boys. “This, coupled with the projection of some lofty renovations to the existing facility, warranted a new approach to the
college’s framework for accessibility.” Proposals were received from 35 architectural firms and ultimately BHDP Architects, headquartered in Cincinnati and Columbus, was selected to take the helm for the design phase. For the construction phase, The Quandel Group was chosen as the construction management firm for the project. Throughout the process, Southern State has worked alongside Bruce Lunsford, mayor of Mt. Orab, and Jeff Stine, village engineer. Village representatives have been instrumental is getting utilities to the site and in securing traffic light approval from the Ohio Department of Transportation. Made possible by a recent legislative decision in construction reform, the SSCC Mt. Orab Campus project is one of the first public projects to use the Construction Manager at Risk project delivery method through the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC). The expansion project is coordinated through the OFCC, which oversees the design and construction of facilities for state agencies, boards, commissions and institutions of higher education. Southern State currently has four campus locations in Hillsboro, Washington Court House, Wilmington and Sardinia, primarily serving students in Adams, Brown, Clinton, Highland and Fayette counties. The college offers a host of academic programs, including certificates and associate degrees, continuing education, workforce development, and GED preparation, as well as partnership degrees which allow for advanced degree completion through other institutions at an SSCC campus.

ConsumerAlert: Beware of Agency Imposters Recently, the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA7) has been made aware of individuals in the area who have been posing as AAA7 workers by knocking on doors claiming to be representatives of the AAA7. Currently, these reports have generated from Lawrence and Scioto Counties; however, the AAA7 asks everyone to heighten the awareness for their safety and protection. The AAA7 provides services in the following Ohio counties: Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. The community should note that all AAA7 representatives carry identification stating that they work for the Agency and any visits to the home are scheduled beforehand – the AAA7 does not make unannounced visits. Initial visits to an individual’s home to discuss long-term care options and resources are always scheduled by a community individual through a call directly to the AAA7. The AAA7 provides the fol-
lowing advice: Do not allow anyone in your home if the individual cannot provide proper identification such as an employee name badge. If the individual claims they are from the Area Agency on Aging, but it does not appear they are or they cannot provide the proper identification, please feel comfortable in calling our Agency to confirm – the Agency can be reached Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm by calling 1-800-582-7277. AAA7 staff that visit homes for assessments gather personal information for referral purposes and will provide the consumer with a release of information form for signature and an AAA7 Statement of Privacy Practices. As mentioned previously, AAA7 staff will not show up unannounced for an initial appointment. If someone comes to your home, unannounced, and claims to be a representative for the AAA7, chances are they are an imposter. You should ask the individual to leave your home
and report to your local law enforcement. Be sure to report the description of the person and their vehicle. If an individual receives a call from the AAA7, an employee name and call back number will always be presented to the consumer. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 is a non-profit corporation that helps coordinate programs to help older adults and those with disabilities live safely and independently at home or in their community through longterm care home and communitybased options. The AAA7’s Aging and Disability Resource Center is available to help provide assistance and answers to any questions the community may have regarding long-term care options and resources. The community can call Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm to speak directly to a nurse or social worker who will help answer any questions the caller may have.
Pinwheel Quilt block
This week the quilt pattern we are discussing is called pin wheel. I was inspired to include it this week in the article because pinwheels are on the lawn of the court house. Pin wheels are excellent blocks to make in red white and blue for patriotic holidays or for Americana collectors. The block is great for beginners because the matching is not hard. I have seen this pattern in muted colors and it is pretty as well. Do you have a pattern you would like for us to feature or include in The Informer Civil War Quilt Challenge Quilt? If so,please write to The Informer, Attn: Quilt Challenge and we will feature the block.
Dear Miss Needles
Dear Miss Needles: Recently I was at an auction and they had a pile of boards with nail like points coming out of them and said they were curtain stretchers. Were those needles or nails?

If my memory serves me correctly, they were like headless nails over which you could put fabric or yarn to stretch your curtains after washing them so they would hold their shape. My great aunt used to have crocheted curtains in her dining room. After washing them, she would dip them in

Dear Miss Needles: Recently I purchased a vintage book of needles. Is it okay to use them? Sign me Suze Dear Suze: It depends. If they have never been used and the points
are sharp, I would. However if they are bent, well used or rusty, I would keep them as a collectible and buy new ones. If I am mending an inch or two in a seam, I will use any needle I find that is small. If I am doing a craft and the stitching and/or thread will be showing, I would use the right needle for the medium so your work looks it's best. Ever so often I will make an "oops" project where I am practicing so I try different things and use the item as a utilitarian item. Do you have a question for Miss Neeldes? Would you like to share photos of your projects. Please e-mail Miss Needles at dearmissneedles@yahoo.com or write to her in care of The Informer.

Update on Fuel Storage Issue on the Farm A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) issue. The following article addresses the latest updates. This appeared in the May Edition of the AG SAFETY S.T.A.T. - SAFE TACTICS FOR AG TODAY. FARM FUEL SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURE (SPCC) COMPLIANCE DATE APPROACHING Corresponding authors: Amanda Douridas Program Coordinator for Environmental Management OSU Department of Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering, and Peggy Kirk-Hall Asst. Professor, OSU Extension Agricultural & Resource Law Program May 10, was the date that farms must be prepared to implement their Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans if they fall under regulation by the EPA. Farms with 1,320 gallons above ground storage or 42,000 gallons below ground storage of oil or oil products meet the requirements to have a SPCC. This includes all containers 55 gallons or greater. The implementation date was delayed once from its original date in the fall of 2011. Amendment 29 to the recently enacted funding bill, H.R. 933, states that the U.S. EPA may not use any of its funds to enforce the SPCC rule against farms for a period of 180 days, until after Sept. 26, 2013. What should farmers do now about SPCC plans? The future of the SPCC rule is uncertain, but we do know that the current deadline of May 10 can’t be enforced by the EPA. Farmers who are currently subject to the regulation must decide whether to proceed with compliance and be prepared for a possible September deadline, or wait and see if Congress changes SPCC requirements before the end of September. If a farmer is subject to an attempted enforcement action after the May 10 deadline, contact legal counsel right away. For those who have already developed SPCC plans, be assured that the plan may still be required in the future and could also be a useful tool for reacting to an oil spill that could contaminate a waterway and reducing your environmental liability risk. For more information about the SPCC rule, visit http://www.epa.gov/OEM/co ntent/spcc/spcc_ag. Two basic requirements need to be met to comply. The first is having sufficient secondary containment for storage and transfer areas to contain any spillage. The containment area is designed to prevent discharge until cleanup can occur and is usually designed to hold 110 percent
risk of putting hay into a bale that is just not quite dry enough. Wet hay put into a tight bale will heat and can cause a spontaneous combustion. Round bales have become the norm over the past few decades. In the early days of round bales becoming the norm, most likely over 90% of the bales were stored outside. The majority of them were not moved for several days, so if one bale got really hot and ended up catching fire, it was not a major loss.

Cuffs & Collars Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers Southwest Ohio While on patrol in Brown County during the 2012 twoday deer gun season, State Wildlife Officers Mark Schemmel and Eric Lamb stopped the driver of a truck which had two deer in it. At the time of the stop, neither deer had a temporary or permanent tag. The two male occupants of the truck showed the officers the landowner temporary tags that they had, which were in the cab of the truck instead of on the deer. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that both of the deer were harvested on a farm owned by the parents of one of the men. The man (whose parents owned the property) was issued a summons for failing to temporarily tag the deer and paid out a bond forfeiture of $182.00. The other man was issued a summons which required an appearance in Court where he was found guilty and ordered to forfeit the deer and pay a fine. Southeast Ohio While working on a furbearer case, State Wildlife Officer Roy Rucker, assigned to Gallia County, made contact with a subject whose name and address appeared on the snare tags. During the course of the conversation with the subject, Officer Rucker found that the individual was not the one who had set the snares, but did discover that the subject had checked in a deer as a landowner, even though the deer was not killed on his property. The individual was found to have checked the deer in as a landowner, even though he had a valid deer tag at the time. The individual was cited for the violation and paid $145.00 in fines and court costs in the Gallipolis Municipal Court. Central Ohio The red fox was seized as evidence and the trapper was charged with trapping on the lands of another without purchasing a hunting license and for setting and maintaining untagged traps. Marysville Municipal Court Judge Michael Grigsby ordered the red fox to be destroyed and the violator to pay costs and fines in the amount of $320. The trapper later voluntarily completed the home study Ohio Trapping Education Course.

Northeast Ohio During the 2012 deer archery season, Wildlife Officer Wade Dunlap received very limited information from a concerned hunter about an individual who had harvested two large bucks with a bow in
Tuscarawas County. The informant was only able to provide the general area where the subject lived and the approximate date the second deer was killed. Through the course of the investigation Officer Dunlap learned the identity of the primary sus-
pect. In December, Officer Dunlap, Wildlife Officer Supervisor Peter Novotny, and Wildlife Officer Nick Turner assigned to Harrison County discovered that he had killed a 135 inch antlered deer in early November and convinced another hunter to tag it. Later that month, the suspect killed a 191 inch antlered deer and tagged it using his permit. Both sets of deer antlers were seized as evidence. The subject was charged and pleaded to three wildlife violations in the New Philadelphia Municipal Court. In addition to the $450.00 fine he was also ordered to pay restitution for the value of the animals which totaled $14,351.00. Both the deer and the antlers were forfeited to the state. His hunting privileges were revoked until the restitution was paid to the Division of Wildlife.
