PAT O’LOUGHLIN, PRESIDENT & CEO • OHIO RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVES & BUCKEYE POWER

Rounding up support for our communities National Cooperative Month has been celebrated in October for more than half a century. This year’s theme, “Cooperatives Build,” recognizes not only the physical facilities needed to serve members, but also the important role that cooperatives play in building community. Nationwide, 40,000 cooperative businesses, including electric cooperatives, credit unions, and agricultural cooperatives, offer various services and products to 120 million people. While each cooperative is unique in some ways, we all share a common set of business principles. We’ve featured each of these seven principles over the past several months. During Cooperative Month, we’re highlighting one more way that Ohio’s electric cooperatives express our concern for community. Operation Round Up is one of our most notable initiatives because it demonstrates how cooperative members, working together, can leverage small individual contributions to make a very real difference to the communities and members we serve. Member-consumers who allow their bills to be rounded up to the nearest

dollar make a small contribution to the community fund administered by their electric cooperative, which helps with unmet needs in their local communities. Penny by penny, Operation Round Up infuses hope and help where and when the supply is scarce. From sanctuary for victims of abuse to emergency services; from end-of-life care to support programs for trauma survivors; and from horsing around to treadmill therapy, Operation Round Up demonstrates the cooperative spirit. Please read more on page 4 about how, working together, a handful of change can change lives. At Ohio’s electric cooperatives, it’s important that we provide power that is clean, safe, reliable, and affordable. Keeping the lights on is vital, but real power also comes from our support of community-based services.

Via Operation Round Up contributions throughout the past year, Ohio electric cooperatives have provided approximately $1.5 million to local community needs and projects.

Oh, and don’t forget — turn on the porch light on Oct. 31. Happy Halloween. 

Clarification In the September issue, The Ohio State University Marching Band’s Script Ohio was reported as debuting at Ohio Stadium on Oct. 10, 1936, during halftime at the OSU-Pittsburgh game. This Script Ohio, which became an OSU legend and is performed today, was set to “Le Règiment de Sambre et Meuse,” and the band moved in formation. The University of Michigan Marching Band formed a stationary script Ohio in 1932 at Ohio Stadium, set to OSU’s marching song, “Fight the Team.” According to OSU’s library website (https://library.osu.edu/projects/OSUvsMichigan/ scriptohio.htm), “So which marching band performed a script Ohio first? Michigan. Which marching band created ‘Script Ohio’? Ohio State.”

Operation Round Up Small change adds up to make a huge difference in the communities served by Ohio electric co-ops

Not-for-profit electric cooperatives have a responsibility not only to fulfill the needs of their consumer-members, but to help their neighbors in need. To that end, Operation Round Up was born. Operation Round Up is a voluntary program in which more than 200 electric cooperatives across the country participate, including most Ohio electric cooperatives. The programs go by different

names, but they all operate under the same premise: Small change makes a big impact in communities all across Ohio. How big? Ohio electric co-ops gave back $1.57 million in just the past year. Participating members’ monthly electric bills are rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the extra pennies go into a fund. The typical annual donation is $6 a year, or just 50 cents a month. That small change adds up to create a significant pool of money, which is then distributed to individuals, schools, nonprofit organizations, and other groups, depending on the cooperative’s program guidelines. Read on for just a few of the many success stories yielded by Ohio co-ops’ Operation Round Up programs.

Kathy Fleenor, a pediatric physical therapist from the early-intervention division of Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities, helps Lucas walk on the infant treadmill for the first time.

B Y M AU R A G A L L AG H E R

Butler Rural Electric Cooperative, Oxford, has helped many local organizations with its Community Connection program, including a grant to the Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities that enabled the agency to purchase a pediatric treadmill. The equipment specifically helped little Lucas Myers take his first steps, a difficult task because of developmental impairments. Using the pediatric treadmill for eight minutes each day over the course of about three months, Lucas was able to walk about six months earlier than he would have without the therapy. The Myers family says that the early intervention and equipment, thanks to the co-op’s Community Connection program, changed their lives.

Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative (GMEC), New Concord, has supported a therapeutic horse-riding center called Breaking Free through its Operation Helping Others program. Breaking Free is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) PATH Premier Center member that provides therapeutic equine services to individuals, people with disabilities, and veterans. GMEC recognized that BreakBreaking Free helps individuals, ing Free cannot operate people with disabilities, and veterans through equine therapy. and help individuals in need without the caring of generous donors. “This story is a success. Breaking Free has been growing for eight to 10 years and looks to have a strong future. Though dreams like these often fall short of funds and passion with time, this one perseveres,” says Brian Bennett, GMEC’s manager of marketing and member services. Logan County Electric Cooperative, Bellefontaine, has made Operation Round Up grants to many local organizations, including two shelters in the county. The Lighthouse Emergency Shelter is a safe place for the homeless, and New Directions Consolidated Care established Soteria House, a haven for victims of domestic violence and abuse. Grant money has assisted in remodeling the Lighthouse Emergency Shelter, creating a healthy and secure environment. New Direction officials say the co-op’s Operation Round Up grant gave them the opportunity to fund the curriculum for their Survivors of Trauma Embracing Positive Support program.

Midwest Electric, St. Marys, received a letter from a member who wrote about how the co-op’s Community Connection Fund (CCF) helped his father, who had recently passed away. The writer said that his father had received care from Grand Lake Hospice during his final days of life, and a woman from the hospice’s music therapy program offered great comfort to the entire family by playing music and singing. The member later found out that his own cooperative’s CCF had donated to the music therapy program. The member feels a strong personal connection to CCF, and he is thankful for the resources that it provides. Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative, North Baltimore, awards the bulk of its grants to local organizations like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity; police and fire departments; libraries, schools, and museums; county services agencies; city missions; and centers for children’s aid. The words of the co-op’s grant recipients tell the story of why the Operation Round Up program is crucial to improving the quality of life in local communities: “Your humanitarian efforts provide comfort and hope to so many during their times of need. Thank you for your commitment to this critically important work. Our mission depends on the support and compassion of donors like you.” “We truly appreciate your partnering with us and allowing us to be your hands, as together we meet the needs of individuals and families right here in our own community. Your willingness to share with others will bring much joy to those who find themselves in difficult situations. Thank you for being a beacon of hope.” “It’s partners like you who make this a great place to live.” 

Why we celebrate

National Co-op Month The cooperative business model nurtures strong communities Florida’s Natural orange juice, Equal Exchange coffee, Land O’ Lakes butter, Ace Hardware, and Best Western hotels — did you know all of these companies are not-for-profit co-ops guided by the same seven principles? Every October since 1930, co-ops of all kinds have recognized National Cooperative Month as a way to educate the public about how co-ops work and to appreciate their many members. After all, there is no other model like the cooperative one. Co-ops have historically arisen when people refuse to wait on big business or government to meet the pressing needs of local communities and their residents. The can-do spirit of public entrepreneurship is exemplified by electric co-ops — people across the U.S. who plan, finance, build, and operate what now numbers more than 900 electric co-ops covering 75 percent of the nation, owned by 42 million Americans who also receive electric service from their co-op. The electric grid is considered one of the most complex technical systems in the world. But persistent people without industry expertise were able to unify and now own a large share of the energy economy. It happens with co-ops in every sector: retail, health care, finance, agriculture, child care, housing, and even entertainment. Yes — craft brewery, indie film, and outdoor recreation cooperatives exist, too. They’re all inherently interwoven with the communities they serve, giving member-owners the ability to take control of their own lives. In fact, U.S. co-ops provide more than 850,000 jobs with $74 billion in annual wages, serving nearly 120 million people. 6

About 48 percent of the money spent at local businesses is also recirculated within those local communities, compared to only 14 percent from non-local businesses, according to the American Independent Business Alliance. The local impact is further magnified by the fact that co-op profits are more equitably distributed across a wider ownership base than traditional companies with shareholders.

The Cooperative Principles 1. Voluntary and Open Membership 2. Democratic Member Control 3. Members’ Economic Participation 4. Autonomy and Independence 5. Education, Training, and Information 6. Cooperation Among Cooperatives 7. Concern for Community Cooperatives are hardy, stable organizations built from the ground up by those who use their services. Data from the World Council of Credit Unions found that within five years of startup, 90 percent of cooperatives were still in operation, versus only 3 to 5 percent of non-cooperative businesses. Because of the cooperative commitment to excellence, the model of ownership-by-consumers who also have democratic control, and a laser focus on education and service, co-ops continue to bring immense value and growth to their surrounding communities. Co-ops and their communities share a direct, symbiotic relationship — one that you’re a part of, too.  To learn more about cooperatives, visit www.coopmonth.coop.

Brumbaugh Fruit and Fun Farm S T O R Y A N D P H O T O BY DA M A I N E V O N A DA

Location: In Darke County about one-quarter mile west of the village of Arcanum. Provenance: Growing up on a west-central Ohio farm, Winston Brumbaugh helped his mother sell the vegetables she raised by going door-to-door in Dayton. “My older brother cleaned out the chicken house, but I chose to pick and shell beans,” recalls Brumbaugh. “That’s how I got started in produce.” In 1962, he and his wife, Jeanie, purchased farmland near Arcanum, where they began an orchard by planting 100 apple trees. The couple raised three daughters on the farm, and for many years, Brumbaugh was also an airline ground handler. “I worked lots of second shifts for TWA,” he says. “That allowed me to work the farm in the morning.” The Brumbaughs eventually opened a seasonal farm market, as well as a year-round bakery, and in the 1990s, they also began holding weekend events during apple season. Significance: Still owned and operated by the Brumbaugh family, the 40-acre fruit farm is a popular destination, not only for fresh-picked produce, but also for kid-friendly agritourism activities. “Our farm is Darke County’s agricultural playground,” says Brumbaugh. Currently: Brumbaugh Fruit Farm grows and sells peaches, pears, pumpkins, and 28 different kinds of apples, including Jonathan, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Winesap, Grimes Golden, and Honeycrisp. Customers crave the Farm Market’s homemade caramel apples, rich apple cider, and

sweet cider slushies, but apple dumplings and apple fritters — prepared, of course, with the Brumbaughs’ own apples — are bestsellers at the Farmer’s Daughter Bakery. “It’s just a little country bakery, but we make everything from scratch,” says Winston. Although the Brumbaughs often host school field trips, company picnics, and even weddings, their farm becomes a magnet for families on fall weekends. Scattered around and among the fruit trees are a zipline, corn mazes, a barrel train, and a goat fort, designed with small fry in mind. “Everything here is geared for children, and there’s not a lot of plastic or playground stuff,” notes Brumbaugh. “We’re a fun farm, not an amusement park.” Youngsters can slide down Monster Mountain’s 40-foot tunnel; shovel and scoop corn kernels in the Cracked Corn Box; and even ride the Pumpkin Express wagon into the farm’s pumpkin patch. Oldsters can sit in the shade, watch the fun, and smile. “If the kids are having a good time,” says Brumbaugh, “it’s nice for the parents and really nice for the grandparents.” It’s a little known fact that: The first 100 apple trees that the Brumbaughs planted in the 1960s are still yielding fruit.  Brumbaugh Fruit and Fun Farm, 6420 Arcanum-Hollansburg Road, Arcanum, OH 45304.

Punderson’s Poltergeists The state park’s Manor House is a haunting destination B Y DA M A I N E V O N A DA

Something peculiar happened to Melissa Arnold shortly after she started her job as general manager of Punderson Manor Lodge and Conference Center. While walking past an office in the Manor House, she caught a glimpse of a strange man in a white shirt standing beside an employee. The employee, however, swore that nobody else was in that office. “When I mentioned the incident to some staff members,” says Arnold, “I learned that others have sighted the man with the white shirt too.” Like many Punderson personnel, Arnold also has caught a chill in the hallway at the top of the Manor House’s curved staircase. A medieval knight’s suit of armor stands at the hall’s entrance, and just past it, there is a spot where the temperature plummets unpredictably. “I’ve felt freezing cold in that one little area of the hallway,” says Arnold. “It starts and stops suddenly.”

In the 1970s, in fact, a Punderson park ranger reported that when he climbed the staircase one night, he heard high-pitched laughter and could see his breath in the frigid hallway. Then the laughter stopped, and the hall immediately got warm. The Manor House is Punderson State Park’s showpiece hotel, but given its 31 guest rooms, Tudor Revival architecture, and history of eerie episodes, the stately mansionturned-lodge looks like the setting for a real-life game of Clue. Located east of Cleveland in Geauga County’s lush and lovely countryside, the Manor House overlooks Punderson Lake, a natural wonder created by glacial meltwater some 14,000 years ago. Lemuel Punderson, an ambitious Geauga County settler, erected a gristmill along the lake in the early 1800s, and in the 1920s, Detroit businessman Karl Long began building a Tudor mansion there as a home for his family. Because he lost everything when the stock market crashed, the Longs never moved in. After the State of Ohio acquired the old Punderson property and completed Long’s mansion, Punderson State Park opened to the public in 1956. It was Ohio’s second state park and featured lodging and dining in the Manor House. A decade later, the state added a new guest room wing to the Manor House and constructed numerous cottages in the park. Governor James Rhodes, who was a strong advocate of state park lodges, particularly liked the Manor House and frequently used the new wing’s Hospitality Room as a hideaway.

People reputedly hear invisible children giggling and playing, and a blonde-haired girl sometimes materializes near the staircase. “A local pizza delivery man also claims that a little girl always watches him through an upstairs window,” says Arnold. The specters of a young boy and girl and their mother even lurk in the dining room. “Since the woman is dark-haired and has a long dress, it’s believed that she is Mrs. Long,” says Arnold. “As soon as she realizes someone has spotted the children, she calls them to her and wraps them in her dress. Then they all disappear.” By all accounts, the Windsor Suite, which was supposed to be the Longs’ master bedroom, is the (Continued on page 12)

They also see indentations on the bed, as if someone had been sitting beside them while they slept.” A male guest recently complained that a loud party in the Windsor Suite was keeping him awake, yet the suite was unoccupied. “That same night,” says Arnold, “the phone from the Windsor Suite rang at the front desk, and no one was on the line.” While some guests avoid the estate rooms, others relish the chance to get up close and personal with an apparition. Fall is always a busy time at Punderson because of the park’s gorgeous grounds, and as Halloween approaches, Manor House bookings surge. “Guests stay awake all night hoping to hear or see something unusual, and they bring ghost-hunting equipment,” notes Arnold.

Nancy Kasicki’s award-winning Fall Apple and Sweet Potato Casserole, submitted for Country Living’s October apple-recipe contest, sprang from a kitchen experiment that turned out even better than expected. Kasicki, a resident of Wellington and a member of Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative, was inspired by a productive garden plot that yielded piles of sweet potatoes. She set out to create a lighter version of sweet potato casserole, complete with miniature marshmallows and chopped pecans. “I decided to incorporate apples in order to lighten the mixture,” Kasicki says. She has made the casserole numerous times since, trying different tart apple varieties to determine the best taste. She found the best results using Cortland, Melrose, Goldrush, McIntosh, Jonathon, or Empire apples. The ultimate test came when she prepared the dish for a family gathering. Hungry diners came back for seconds, leaving clean plates and confirming her experiment was a success. This marks the second time Kasicki has entered a Country Living recipe contest, and this time she landed the grand-prize KitchenAid mixer, which she says will help at Christmas cookie time. Contest runners-up were Rosella Bornhorst of New Bremen with Apple Surprise and Julie Riley of Ostrander with Apple Salad.

APPLE SURPRISE (contest runner-up)

Riley, a member of Consolidated Electric Cooperative, earned honors with a recipe handed down from her grandmother, the late Betty Sweeney. “I knew I would enter Grandma’s salad as soon as I saw the contest announcement,” she says. “The recipe is one of my standbys, especially when our apple trees have a good year.” She has no favorite apple variety when it comes to making the salad because, Riley says, she believes homegrown or store-bought apples are equally good. Chilling the salad provides optimum flavor by giving the ingredients time to meld. When her apple tree out back produced a bumper crop one fall, Bornhorst, a member of Midwest Electric, altered a recipe she had found in the newspaper to use up the bounty. The original recipe specified 8 cups of chopped rhubarb, but she experimented with a like amount of apples, and the finished product drew rave reviews from family members. The secret to the “ooey-gooey” topping of her Apple Surprise, Bornhorst says, is to pour a cup of boiling water over the dish before it goes in the oven. “I made it quite often and even took it to a family reunion,” she says. “The dish was scraped clean — that’s the sign of a really good recipe.”  For more apple recipes, visit www. ohioec.org.

Moreland Fruit Farm A delicious Wayne County destination STORY AND PHOTOS B Y DA M A I N E V O N A DA

Above: Customers can ship gift baskets of jams, jellies, and apples from the farm. Below: An oldfashioned cider press is on display.

Autumn is apple season in Ohio, and for folks who like their Galas and Granny Smiths homegrown and orchard-fresh, that means a trip to Moreland Fruit Farm in southern Wayne County. Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative members Fred and Marilyn Finney own the 110acre farm and offer both pick-your-own produce and a year-round farm market. “We keep the market open during winter because we supply schools and colleges, and lots of local people like coming by for apples and cider,” Marilyn says. The Finneys are first-generation farmers who moved to the farm in 1971, when Fred took on the job of managing it. “Back then, we had a half-acre of grapes, 10 acres in peaches, 30 acres in apples, and a few rows of raspberries,” Marilyn says. They gradually added more crops and the farm market building, and in 1985, they purchased the farm. The couple also raised three sons there: Chris, an attorney; Brian, a teacher; and Steve, who is part-owner of the farm and a full-time farmer. Today, Moreland Fruit Farm has 70 acres in fruit production, three high-tunnel greenhouses for growing vegetable plants and flowers, and a large bed for raising mums. “We do a little bit of a whole lot of things,” Marilyn says. The farm’s fruit harvest begins in early June, when the first strawberries ripen, and continues through late October’s crop of Fuji, Golden Delicious, Mutsu, and Winesap apples. In between is a cornucopia of blueberries, raspberries, cherries, blackberries, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, and dozens of apple varieties. “We’re one of the few orchards with Transparent and Northern Spy apples,” Fred says. He also grows Ohio’s official apple, the Melrose, and this fall, he’ll introduce a new eating apple called Evercrisp that’s a cross between Fuji and Honeycrisp apples. In the farm market, the Finneys sell pies baked by local Amish women, as well as jams and jellies made from their own berries. Fred displays his collection of antique apple peelers there, and Marilyn offers free copies of recipes. Sharing her favorite recipes with customers is part of the friendly Moreland Fruit Farm experience. “This a place where we want people to see how things grow, spend time together picking fruit, and enjoy a wonderful day out in the country,” she says.  DAMAINE VONADA is a freelance writer from Xenia.

• From the President

by PHIL CASKEY

You know what ‘they’ say ... BUT WHO ARE ‘THEY’?

I am a smart aleck. By choice. I figure a smart aleck is better than a dumb aleck (although often I can be both at the same time). One of my standard smartaleck quips when I encounter a situation where there is a lull in the conversation that must be filled is, “You know what they say … so there is really no point in my repeating it.” Sometimes I will get a polite chuckle from those subjected to my half-witticism, but mostly my objective is simply to amuse myself — thus my dumb-aleckness (pardon my word-inventionalism). And on occasion, someone will respond with the age-old question, “Who are they?”

As I contemplate this undefined group of people who comprise “They,” I inevitably conjure thoughts of our government; after all, “They” really seem sometimes to have things all out of whack — any amount of time watching political advertisements reinforces this perception. But as I dissect this group, “They,” I usually come full circle and identify myself as one of “They.” After all, do we not get what we ask for in our government? If we do not participate actively in the process, we don’t ask for anything, and we get the gamut of results that ensue from neglecting our responsibilities. If we do

participate, but without educating ourselves, we get results based upon fickle, crude emotions rather than on sound reasoning. And as I look at the current state of political affairs, I feel that our current results generally reflect these two flawed approaches. But if we would each invest the time and resources it takes to understand the issues and the candidates, and which candidates can best tackle the issues, we would get what we asked for — politicians who would best address our most important challenges. Especially considering that rural voter turnout dropped a staggering (Continued on page 20)

August board meeting highlights

(—continued from page 19)

• Jeff Jewell, safety manager, reported on July safety activities, including the news that our commercial trucks now have Department of Transportation numbers, which allow the trucks to travel out of state to assist co-ops across the nation without there being a “state of emergency.”

18 percent in 2012, we have a real opportunity to make some significant improvements to what “They” not only say, but do. It will take each of us committing to educating ourselves and each other, and committing to getting out and voting. Consolidated Electric and the rest of Ohio’s electric cooperatives support the national “Co-ops Vote” campaign, precisely for these reasons. There are millions of cooperative members eligible to vote, and together, we have the power to impact election results. So, here’s your checklist for this election: 1) Register to vote by October 11. 2) Remember that early voting starts Oct. 12 (avoid the lines). 3) Contact your county election board for absentee/mail-in ballots, if needed. 4) Visit www.action.coop to let your voice be heard on issues important to electric co-ops. 5) Contact Consolidated Electric to join ACRE Co-op Owners for Political Action® or to become more informed on issues that affect CEC. 6) Vote on Nov. 8 if you haven’t voted early. Otherwise, “They” could devolve into a group comprising only those fringe elements that are exceedingly passionate about narrow, obscure viewpoints that might not represent the best for the most of us. Who knows what “They” might say then?

Employee service recognition By Phil Caskey, President/CEO The strength in great teamwork lies in each individual member. I firmly believe this statement and would personally like to thank the employees of CEC and its subsidiaries for their dedicated service to our members and for meeting and exceeding our standards of excellence. This month, we recognize employees who have 2 years of service with CEC or CoGas.

Light gardens can be built anywhere in the house and have been popular since the 1970s. In the photo below is James Shuler, a former cooperative member highlighted in a 1971 issue of Country Living showcasing his fluorescent gardens. “Most gardens should be started six weeks out, and successful growth is attributed by affixing the light fixture just a few inches above the plants,” Shuler said in the article. 1936-2016 INNOVATION THROUGH INTEGRITY

TAKE THE CHILL OUT OF WINTER BILLS Between holiday houseguests and shorter, colder days, electric bills tend to climb in the winter. Read on for ways to save energy when the temperature drops. Lower your thermostat to 68 degrees (or lower): If you decrease the temperature by just 1 degree, you can save up to 5 percent on heating costs. Consider a programmable thermostat that you can set to lower the temperature when you’re away and increase before you come back. Adjust blinds and curtains: Keep them open to let in sunlight during the day and closed at night to keep heat inside and protect from drafts. Reduce hot water temperatures: Heating water accounts for 12 percent of the average home’s energy use. Set your water heater’s thermostat to 120 degrees or lower — that’s usually sufficient for a household’s hot-water needs. Also, if you’ve had your water heater for more than 12 years, you might want to consider replacing it with a more energyefficient model. Seal and insulate: This is the best way to keep heat in and air out. Areas that may need sealing include corners, cracks, door frames, and windows. Consider replacing old appliances, doors, and windows with ENERGY STAR®-rated models: You can save about 15 percent of your normal energy use with these appliances and get better

insulation on doors and windows for the price you pay. ENERGY STAR-rated items meet special efficiency standards set by the federal government. Free your vents: HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems will have to work twice as hard if vents are blocked by rugs, furniture, or doors. Keep vents clear for proper air flow. Keep food cool: Don’t make your fridge work too hard. A temperature set between 34 and 37 degrees is usually sufficient. A special holiday tip: Use LED lights to decorate. They’re up to 75 percent more energy efficient than traditional incandescent lights and last much longer — but check for an ENERGY STAR rating before you buy. Cheaper LEDs tend not to last as long or be as durable. Visit TogetherWeSave.com or www. consolidated.coop for more ways to save.

MYTH: I’m just trimming tree limbs — I won’t be using a ladder, so I don’t need to worry about power lines.

FACT:

Anything that touches a power line — a pruning tool, a tree limb, or your hand — can shock, burn, or kill you. CEC takes safety seriously. That’s why each year at the annual meeting we hold an ad coloring contest for our youngest members promoting tree safety. Shown above is this year’s winning ad by Andrew Fisher.

sure you know where the power lines are. Always have a signaller — someone who can watch to make sure you stay a safe distance away — and remember, you don’t have to touch a power line for it to hurt you. If a tree branch breaks off and lands on an electric line, causing a dangerous situation, call CEC immediately at 800-421-5863. Do not touch the branch or wire and don’t cut down trees or branches near power lines.

William Henry Harrison — University of Pennsylvania (dropped out after his father died) Grant — U.S. Military Academy Hayes — Kenyon College Garfield — Williams College Benjamin Harrison — Miami University; Harvard, Law McKinley — Allegheny College and Mount Union College (dropped out because of finances) Taft — Yale University; University of Cincinnati, Law Harding — Ohio Central College FYI: While Hayes was his class’s valedictorian and Taft was his class’s salutatorian, Grant’s West Point performance was lackluster. “A military life,” Grant later wrote, “had no charms for me.”

William Henry Harrison — After delivering his inaugural address in a snowstorm, he developed pneumonia and died one month later.

In Service

Benjamin Harrison — Six states joined the Union during his watch, but an economic slump and unpopular tariff made him a one-term president.

Commanding General — Grant, Civil War Major Generals — William Henry Harrison, War of 1812; Garfield, Civil War; Hayes, Civil War (brevet) Brigadier General — Benjamin Harrison, Civil War (brevet) Major — McKinley, Civil War (brevet) FYI: Neither Taft nor Harding served in the military.

In Politics Democrat Ohio presidents — 0 Whig Ohio presidents — 1: William Henry Harrison Republican Ohio presidents — 7: Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley, Taft, Harding FYI: In the hotly disputed 1876 election, Democrat Samuel Tilden received more popular votes than Hayes, but the electoral vote count was problematic. A bipartisan commission awarded the presidency to Hayes.

Grant — Though personally popular, he was politically naive. Scandals plagued his administration and overshadowed Grant’s support of civil rights and the Fifteenth Amendment. Hayes — After ending Reconstruction by removing federal troops from the South, he appointed civil rights advocate John Marshall Harlan to the Supreme Court. Garfield — He intended to end patronage, but was assassinated just months after taking office.

William McKinley — He made the U.S. a global player by annexing Hawaii; by initiating an Open Door policy toward China; and by winning territories in the Spanish-American War. Shortly after being re-elected, McKinley was assassinated. Taft — Caught between the conservative and progressive party factions, he lost his re-election bid. Taft put six people on the Supreme Court, and in 1921 President Harding picked Taft for chief justice. Harding — He convened an international disarmament conference, but the Teapot Dome scandal stigmatized his presidency and probably hastened Harding’s death.  DAMAINE VONADA is a freelance writer from Xenia.

WOODS, WATERS, AND WILDLIFE

Punt guns:

Getting your ducks in a row It was both the most demanding and dangerous form of waterfowl hunting. Some hunters even died doing it. Termed “punt gunning” — a punt being a small, flat-bottomed boat — the practice was used during the 1800s and early 1900s, resulting in the mass slaughter of waterfowl. Upwards of 100 ducks, geese, and swans could be killed with just one shot.

State hunting laws and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 finally outlawed use of the big guns, but during their heyday they were very much a part of legal waterfowl hunting. The guns were especially favored by market hunters. A punt gun, in essence, was an exceptionally large muzzleloading shotgun, weighing as much as 200 pounds and measuring 10 to 12 feet in length. Its bore diameter could be 2 inches and shoot 2 pounds of shot. Obviously, punt guns were not fired from the shoulder. Rather, the big guns were usually mounted in a skiff, 16 to 18 feet long, and the boat and gun then rowed or paddled to the ducking grounds. Punt guns were usually used at night, the dark26

B P

ness helping conceal the approach of the boat and hunter from the birds. The hunt began once a large flock of rafting waterfowl was sighted. Lying in the boat on his stomach alongside the big gun, the hunter would keep any wind to his back and stalk the birds by using small hand-paddles to slowly and silently propel the skiff forward. Once within range — usually about 50 yards — the hunter would aim the punt gun by sighting along the side of the barrel and shifting his weight slightly forward or backward. By moving forward, the gun’s muzzle would lower, and by moving backward, it would rise. Before touching off a shot, the hunter would intentionally bump the gunnel of the skiff with one of the paddles or make some other subtle, yet unnatural, sound. It caused the birds to raise their heads in the split-second before the shot, resulting in the killing or wounding of as many waterfowl as possible. Early punt guns were flintlocks, and the hunter closed his eyes and turned his head away from the gun as he pulled the trigger, protecting himself from the flash of gunpowder that ignited in the lock’s firing pan. Doing so also shielded his eyes from the much larger flash that instantly emanated from the gun’s muzzle, preserving his night vision. Many early flintlock punt guns were eventually converted to percussion cap, a much more reliable ignition system, given the damp conditions of waterfowling. As can be imagined, the roar of such a gun on a still, black night, over open water, was deafening. One hunter referred to his punt gun as his “headache gun” because he said he took two aspirin before firing it and two again afterward. The big guns were dangerous not only to waterfowl, but to the hunters themselves. The guns’ recoil was fierce, and if not properly controlled, it could damage the skiff in which the gun was mounted — even knocking out the boat’s transom and drowning the hunter, if he couldn’t swim. Modern-day waterfowl hunter and duck-hunting historian Jim Marsh of Newport, Michigan, owns several punt guns. For 24 years, he demonstrated shooting one of the antique firearms from an antique duck boat at the Pointe Mouillee Duck Hunter’s Tournament, known today as the Pointe

Mouillee Waterfowl Festival. That annual get-together of all things waterfowling is held each September at the Pointe Mouillee State Game Lands on the shore of western Lake Erie near Monroe, Michigan. “Punt guns were not common and actually pretty rare,” says Marsh. “In 1865, Michigan was one of the first states to outlaw them for duck hunting. Most punt guns had individual names, taking their names from the families who built and owned them.” Marsh and his wife, Barbara, are authors of the new book Pointe Mouillee Shooting Club, and in it they recount the following tale about a punt gun owned by the Story family of Michigan. It seems that in the 1920s, Henry Ford (yes, that Henry Ford) had heard about the Story punt gun, was interested in acquiring it for his Henry Ford Museum, and offered John Story a brand-new Ford car in trade.

A punt gun weighed as much as 200 pounds and measured 10 to 12 feet in length. “You know, I got to thinking,” Story told Ford. “Your car would be rusted out, and I’d have no car and you would still have the gun.” In other words, no deal. When John Story died, the punt gun passed to his son, George, and ironically George donated the gun to the Henry Ford Museum in 1968. Today, that same punt gun is on loan from the Ford Museum, currently displayed at the Monroe County (Michigan) Historical Museum. A figure of speech remains in our language yet today from the era of punt gunning. When we are preparing for a project, we often talk of “getting our ducks in a row.” That’s literally what punt gunners used to do before touching off a shot from their infamous, deadly guns.  W.H. “CHIP” GROSS is Country Living’s outdoors editor and a member of Consolidated Electric Cooperative.

GARDENING LANDSCAPE

Winterizing

outdoor plants

BY KRIS WETHERBEE

Helping defenseless plants take cover from a deep freeze Winter weather can be unpredictable at times — dormant at one moment and quite dynamic the next. When a deep freeze is in the forecast, the term “bundle up” applies to more than just people. Some plants need special protection from the ravages of winter, especially if the ground lacks an insulating blanket of snow. Early-flowering shrubs, marginally hardy plants, and new plantings that went in the ground in late summer to late fall can easily be protected in a matter of minutes. Here’s a quick guide to sheltering outdoor plants. 1. Mulch vulnerable trees, shrubs, and perennial beds with a 2- to 4-inch-thick layer of organic material, such as bark, straw, sawdust, or leaves. Lightweight evergreen branches offer another option, allowing air and water to flow freely. These winter mulches help protect plant roots from frost heave and damaging temperature fluctuations. Be sure to leave a mulch-free zone of about 12 inches around the base of deciduous trees or the main stem of shrubs, and several inches away from smaller shrubs and plant crowns. 2. Mound a 1-foot-thick layer of compost, bark mulch, or loose soil around the base of bush-type roses. Make sure that you cover the graft union, which appears as a nubby growth where the rootstock and scion meet. Shredded leaves also work as an insu28

lating cover and are quick to decompose, often by the following spring. 3. Cages filled with an insulating material offer a quick and easy way to protect tree roses, young trees, and other tender woody plants from freezing temperatures. Simply surround the plant with a 2- to 3-foot-high cylinder cage made of chicken wire or use wire mesh fencing. Then, secure the ends together and loosely fill with an insulating material, such as straw or leaves. 4. Cloches or row covers offer a fast way to protect low-growing plants, overwintering vegetables, and tender seedlings. You can easily make your own from wire cages and bubble wrap, or use PVC pipe to form a tunnel of low arches, and cover with plastic. 5. Frames or structures covered in plastic sheeting, bubble wrap, burlap, or some other type of cloth material can be used to insulate marginally hardy shrubs and small trees. (Remember to remove plastic-lined shelters once temperatures stabilize and the danger of a heavy freeze has passed.) For example, you can make shelter teepees using sturdy bamboo poles that are then wrapped in burlap or other loosely woven fabric. 6. Cover vulnerable plants and shrubs at a moment’s notice with burlap, old blankets or sheets, or even layers of newspaper

or cardboard boxes. Several thicknesses of newspaper also make a good insulating wrap or cover around smaller evergreens that are tender. Remove the cover completely as soon as the threat of a heavy freeze has passed. 7. Water is essential to keeping plants protected. When snow or rain is lacking, be sure to keep outdoor plants well-watered into winter — up to 1 inch per week during dry spells — even if they aren’t actively growing. Dry ground and freezing temperatures can make for a deadly duo, but ensuring that the soil is moist before the ground freezes makes plants more resistant to winter damage. Pay particular attention to plants growing under the eaves of your home or underneath tall evergreens, such as hollies, rhododendrons, boxwood, and conifers. 

DIY project: Wrap it up Wood boards and chicken wire are all it takes to create a 2 x 2-foot shelter box or an outdoor container up to 14 inches in diameter for protecting a small shrub, miniature rose, or newly planted dwarf conifer. Materials: (12) 2 x 2 wood boards, each 2 feet long 2 x 8-1/2-foot piece of chicken wire Outdoor construction adhesive (8) 1-1/2-inch galvanized wood screws 1/2-inch staples Tools: Wire cutters Drill Staple gun or hammer

1. Use construction adhesive and screws to attach all wood pieces. To make the frame, form a square using four of the 2 x 2 wood boards, with two opposing boards set inside the other two boards. Make a similar square using four more of the 2 x 2’s. 2. Use the four remaining 2 x 2 boards to form the corners of your shelter box. Attach one end of each 2 x 2 to each corner on one square, using one screw per 2 x 2. Attach the remaining end of each 2 x 2 to each corner of the remaining square, again using one screw per 2 x 2.

CLM October 9-1.indd 29

3. Bend the chicken wire around each 2 x 2 corner to create a tight fit. Trim off any excess using wire cutters, then firmly attach the chicken wire at each corner by using a staple gun or hammering in staples. You should now have a complete box with an open-ended bottom and top. 4. Place the box around the outdoor plant or container needing protection, then loosely stuff straw, hay, bark mulch,

or leaves carefully around the plant that is inside your shelter box. For added protection, line the inside of the shelter box with burlap before using your filler material. A burlap-lined shelter box will prevent finer filler materials like shredded leaves, grass clippings, or pine needles (which are ideal for acid-loving plants) from coming through the chicken wire.

Co-ops

VOTE!

It’s been said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. It’s easy to take our right to vote for granted, perhaps because there are so many opportunities to exercise that right, including national, state, and local elections, as well as elections for social and civic organizations. It’s easy to see how “election fatigue” can take hold. Next month, Americans will go to the polls and cast votes for a president, 34 senators, 435 members of Congress, 12 governors, 5,920 state legislators, and countless local races. As we head into the final stage of what has been a divisive national election, we should remember that elections don’t have to be about name-calling and bitterness. Co-ops can and do play a role in cultivating a civil society, where democracy is practiced at the local level. The challenges facing rural America

won’t be solved by one person, idea, or action. But on Nov. 8, we’ll determine which leaders we trust to enact policies that will help small communities help themselves. Study the issues that are critical to the future of your cooperative. Look at the positions and backgrounds of every candidate running for every race, from president to county road commissioner. Decide who’s best qualified to address those issues. Then, join millions of your fellow electric cooperative members at the polls. Although the challenges facing rural America are national, the prevailing sentiment among rural stakeholders and researchers is that the solutions are largely homegrown.
