Who better to tell our story? T
he story of electric cooperatives is one of the great American success stories: Neighbors across the country banding together to extend electric service to homes and farms too far from population centers to be profitable for traditional electric companies. Today, the nearly 900 electric cooperatives operating across the United States, including the 24 headquartered here in Ohio, continue to be a model of public-private partnership and an essential part of the communities we serve. The story, however, also includes barriers and even opposition to the mission of providing safe, reliable, and affordable electric service to cooperative members. Investor-owned electric utilities strongly opposed electric cooperative formation; many created roadblocks to hinder the development of a robust electric system owned by co-op members. We face some of the same challenges today, including well-intentioned but misguided government regulations, unfair competitive practices, and policies by other organizations that undermine the cooperative business model. Our ability to overcome current-day obstacles is based on our support from you, our membership. We need to be able to tell our story — why it is still important to the communities we serve to have access to safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible electricity. We need to be able to bring common-sense solutions to the problems of today. Our history in Ohio includes strong partnerships with the Farm Bureau and Nationwide Insurance, who helped electric cooperatives grow and thrive. American Electric Power (AEP) became a partner to Buckeye Power and Ohio’s electric cooperatives in the joint development of the Cardinal Power Plant, which still stands as a testament to successful partnership — overcoming differences and finding uncommon solutions to common problems. This collaborative approach, which served us so well in the past, will be crucial to resolving the issues of today. One way you can help assure a successful future is to participate. Voices for Cooperative Power (see our story on page 4) provides an easy way for you to keep up with current issues and to lend your voice to the discussion when needed — to help us tell our story, because it’s your story, too.

lectric cooperative communities are some of the best places in America to call home. We have majestic landscapes, deep-seated values, and a sense of connectedness like no other. One characteristic of electric cooperative members is that they know how to work together to make changes. Years ago, that’s how neighbors collaborated to bring electricity to rural areas. Today, it’s what makes policymakers take notice — the united voices of electric cooperative members, speaking out on issues they care about. Voices for Cooperative Power (VCP) is a way for consumer-members to learn more about legislative issues that are important to electric cooperatives and important to them and to add their voices to a grassroots collective of electric cooperative members both in Ohio and nationwide who have something to tell policymakers about preserving their way of life. The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) created

the robust tool as a replacement for the much simpler advocacy tool, action.coop. Some people may be wary of giving their name and information to yet another list. The last thing anyone needs is more junk email clogging their inboxes or more spam phone calls. But Voices for Cooperative Power is not junk mail. And members’ information will never be sold or given to anyone outside of the electric cooperative network. “What VCP is intended to do, first and foremost, is educate members on issues that affect electric cooperatives,” says Doug Miller, vice president of statewide services at OEC. “Let’s say your big issue is that you need broadband. You’ll then have information about what electric cooperatives are doing to foster broadband development in rural America. So it’ll help you learn about issues that you care about but not be bogged down with issues that you don’t care about.” Continued on page 6
What happens when you sign up? You’ll have access to the Voices for Cooperative Power website, which is full of information that’s important to you. Or maybe some of it isn’t. That’s OK — you can customize your preferences to learn more about the issues that you care about. Do you feel passionate about rural broadband access? Maintaining an affordable, reliable, responsible energy supply? Environmental issues? Check those boxes, and VCP will help you to learn more about those issues as well as keep you posted as new information becomes available. Not interested in a particular issue? You’ll be excluded from those lists so the information you receive is only what’s important to you. You also have options on how you want to engage with these issues. Follow the page on social media to find important information in your feeds. Maybe you’re interested in attending webinars or listening to podcasts on issues you care about. Maybe you’d like to send emails to your elected officials or even have the opportunity to talk to them in person. Or maybe you don’t want to engage in any of those ways, but rather are seeking ways to become more informed than you feel you can be by watching the usual media outlets. Those choices are all up to you as you create your own member journey within the program. Based on your address, the tool provides information for you about your elected representatives and allows you to contact @VOICES4COOPS them with a few simple clicks.

One of the services OEC and NRECA provide to their members is government advocacy, on both state and national levels. Spencer Waugh, OEC manager of government affairs, says, “VCP allows us to communicate details on issues that we may know or NRECA may know because we’re tracking legislation, but most of the public won’t know. We can help consumer-members understand how those issues affect them and why they should care.” Miller says, “You don’t ever have to take action, but there’ll be content directed to you that will help educate you. You’ll have the opportunity to voice your opinion with those certain elected officials to encourage them to take action on the things that you care about. You’re creating your own journey

through VCP. It’s not a PAC, and not primarily an advocacy tool. It’s primarily an educational tool, and you can decide how you want to use that information.” Still in its beginning stages, VCP has around 35,000 members signed up, with more added every day. All of those voices together can be a powerful motivator in Washington and in Columbus. Marc Armstrong, OEC director of government affairs, says, “VCP generates form emails that you can send with one click. It’s the volume that many elected officials care about. Legislators want to see every piece of mail. If you have a whole inbox of letters from electric co-ops, that really resonates with them. They pay attention.”

WOODS, WATERS, AND WILDLIFE
Miscues, bloopers, and do-overs Ohio wildlife history and other trivia offers a bit of fun for everyone. BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS
P
rofessional wildlife management, as practiced today by America’s state/national governmental agencies and private conservation organizations, is a high-tech, finely tuned science that has resulted in the restoration of many wildlife species — some absent from Ohio for more than a century. In its infancy, though, wildlife management was more hit or miss — resulting in, at times, too much of a good thing. Today, we’re still dealing with some of the negative repercussions of past decisions. In retrospect, it leaves you shaking your head and wondering, “What were those early wildlife and fisheries biologists thinking?”
22 million carp?!? For example, the following item appeared nearly a century ago, in the March 1923 issue of the Fisheries Service Bulletin, published monthly by the Federal Bureau of Fisheries, under the heading “Hatching Carp in Lake Erie”: “The Put-in-Bay (Ohio) station has been quite successful in its second attempt to propagate carp for the purpose of maintaining the supply of this very important fish in the western end of Lake Erie. Eggs were collected by various seine fishermen operating between Port Clinton and Oak Harbor, and were incubated in a temporary hatchery set up at the plant of R. Bell Fish Company at Port Clinton. In all, 28,500,000 eggs were secured, and the 22,800,000 fry resulting were liberated on the natural spawning grounds in the Portage River.” Non-native to North America, common carp were first introduced to Ohio in 1879 when the U.S. Fish Commission shipped some of the fish to the Cincinnati and Fremont areas for stocking in private ponds and lakes. Not surprisingly, the carp soon “escaped” into nearby streams and quickly spread nearly statewide by the end of the decade. “Of all the non-native fish found in Ohio, the European carp (common carp), sea lamprey, and round goby have proven the most destructive,” says Dan Rice, co-author of the 2014 book Native Fishes of Ohio. “As carp numbers increased, they began to wreak havoc on aquatic environments, destroying aquatic vegetation through their rooting actions, and causing irreparable damage to wetlands.” Not to mention the damage done to native fish species. 8 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • FEBRUARY 2022
Farmed raccoons Drive down any rural Ohio highway, even just a few miles, and you’ll soon see a road-killed raccoon. The state population of these masked, ring-tailed bandits has been extremely high for decades, resulting in an inestimable amount of damage to farm and garden crops, as well as other property damage. But that has not always been the case. The state raccoon population was so low during the early 20th century that the Ohio Division of Wildlife actually raised the critters on game farms, then released them to bolster the wild population. In the Summer 1998 issue of the division’s Wild Ohio magazine, a photo caption on page 7 reads: “Raised at the Milan ’Coon Farm in north-central Ohio during the 1930s, thousands of raccoons were stocked throughout Ohio at a time when these animals were extremely scarce in the state. During the past 15 years, wild raccoon populations have increased more than 800 percent in Ohio.”
Non-migrating geese It seemed like a good idea at the time, the latter half of the 20th century — who wouldn’t want to see more geese migrating across a brilliant-blue autumnal sky? Both birders and hunters would benefit, right? The trouble with introducing the giant Canada goose (a subspecies of the Canada goose) to Ohio is that not all giants necessarily migrate. Given enough food and open water during winter, some stay put yearround. And eat. And eat. And eat some more, then do that something that comes as a natural result of all that eating — in massive quantities. Geese also reproduce relatively rapidly. All told, it was the perfect recipe for the big birds to eventually become a nuisance species of waterfowl in many areas — some biologists today even refer to them as “sky carp.”
Success stories happen, too On a more positive note, bald eagles, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, river otters, Lake Erie walleye, and many more wild species, both large and small, have all benefited from modern-day scientific wildlife and fisheries management in the Buckeye State. In fact, our North American model has become so successful that it now serves as a shining example to the rest of the world as to what can be accomplished in the restoration of both game and nongame animals given enough time, resources, skill, and money. That said, it would be interesting to know what future Ohioans a century from now will think of the wildlife legacy we leave them. There is certainly much to be proud of, but I’m sure, based on past lessons, that we’ve made a few mistakes as well. And like our predecessors, we just don’t know it yet.

it’s a small world For Ohio miniatures collectors and crafters, bigger is NOT better. BY MARGARET BURANEN; PHOTOS COURTESY OF JEAN GIBSON
W
hether they’re furnishing realistic-looking rooms in a dollhouse or creating a unique tiny display, for folks who collect and create miniatures, it truly is a small, small world. It’s also a precise world made to exacting scale. One inch usually represents 12 inches. Some miniaturists prefer a more challenging scale where 1 inch equals 24 or 48 inches. And there are even smaller scales for miniature displays — a 1/144 scale means that 1 inch represents 12 feet.
This five-story, 1/144-scale dollhouse created by Volker Arnold stands just 5 inches tall.
10 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • FEBRUARY 2022
Some miniaturists buy completely finished items when they want to furnish a dollhouse or display. Other collectors buy furniture and other items from kits so that they have the fun of doing the craft and painting it however they wish. The dollhouses that miniaturists enjoy furnishing are very different from dollhouses made for children. They are smaller and constructed to exact scale, and the furniture and other decorative items placed inside are too small and too expensive for children to play with.
Whether they’re furnishing realisticlooking rooms in a dollhouse or creating a unique tiny display, for folks who collect and create miniatures, it truly is a small, small world.
A 1/450-scale spinning Volker Arnold carousel (above) measures less than an inch tall; below, a silk shawl crocheted by Jean Gibson of St. Louisville is less than 6 inches wide.
When she was a child, Jean Gibson of St. Louisville, a member of The Energy Cooperative in Newark, liked collecting the prizes that came in boxes of Cracker Jack. “They were miniatures, and I always loved miniature things,” she says. What got her into the world of miniatures, however, was her needlework. “My mom taught me to crochet when I was about 10,” she says. “I took it up again years later when I was working at Newark Air Force Station.” About that time, she crocheted a full-size afghan, but she was discouraged by how much time and energy it took her to finish the afghan. So she decided to make a smaller one. Pleased with the result, Gibson started making fabric miniatures and selling them at regional shows for miniaturists. She had also learned how to do tatting and bobbin lacework to create decorative lace doilies and lace tablecloths. Continued on page 12

Continued from page 11
“I would crochet afghans of silk sewing thread for beds in miniaturists’ dollhouses,” she says. “The 3 x 5-inch afghan would be made up of 96 squares.” About 15 years ago at a miniatures show in Chicago, Gibson saw miniature furniture made in Germany by master miniatures craftsman Volker Arnold. She was so impressed by the quality and detail of Arnold’s work that she decided to become a representative for him at shows. Imagine a tiny wardrobe, 1 inch tall, for a dollhouse bedroom. With seven tiny hangers. And with drawers that open and close. Gibson says that degree of detail is typical for high-quality miniature items such as Arnold’s.
Want to get started? The National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts (NAME) is located in Carmel, Indiana. The organization’s website (https://miniatures.org) lists several Ohio clubs for miniatures fans — in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, Cincinnati, Akron, West Chester, Findlay, Lima, Strongsville, and Warren. Most of the clubs meet once or twice a month. They welcome visitors who are at least 16 years old. Call 317-571-8094 for information.
Gibson has been involved with miniatures for over 40 years. “I just love them! The colors are so pretty when they’re finished. When someone wants to buy a miniature item I have made, it’s a validation,” she says. She sells Arnold’s laser-cut, ready-to-assemble miniature furniture kits and other miniature items at shows and through her Etsy store (www.etsy.com/shop/ gibsongirlminis). She assembles some of every kit item so that she can answer questions from customers. She sells her finished items and also does custom work for some customers. Gibson enjoys seeing the work of other miniaturists. “The more real things look, the better,” she says. “At some of the big shows, I’ve seen miniature foods that look real enough to make you hungry,” she says. Magnifying glasses or microscopes often come in handy for working with miniatures, whether assembling a display from a kit of tiny parts or creating one’s own display. So do tiny paint brushes and tweezers of various sizes. “I learned long ago that fingers are way too big [for working with miniatures],” Gibson explains. Gibson finds the hardest part of creating miniatures is that “it’s very time-consuming. I can work 10 hours straight.” She says that painting miniature items can be difficult during the colder months. “The paint has to be the perfect consistency, but heated air dries it out, so it gets too hard.” Bunnyland is a favorite miniatures project Gibson created. Her display features rabbits enjoying an amusement park. The carousel, large and small Ferris wheels, other rides, and eight different food shops all fit into a 9 x 11-inch frame. This 21/2-inch-wide Noah’s Ark kit includes 50 pairs of animals ranging in size from bunnies to elephants.

MATCHSTICK S’MORES Difficulty level: simple | How tiny is it? ½ inch Prep: 2 minutes | Cook: 10 seconds | Servings: 4 ¼ cup Golden Grahams cereal
¼ cup mini marshmallows
¼ cup chocolate chips
Setting aside the “tops” of the s’mores, place Golden Grahams cereal squares on a microwave-safe plate. Stuff a chocolate chip into the middle of each marshmallow. Place one stuffed marshmallow on top of each Golden Graham. Microwave for 10 seconds or until the marshmallows puff up. Remove from microwave and place a Golden Grahams square on top of each marshmallow. Alternatively, grown-ups can use a crème brûlée torch to toast the marshmallows on a heat-safe surface, or, if extra careful, use small metal skewers/forks over a lit candle to toast the marshmallows. Squish together and serve with cups of hot chocolate or tiny glasses of milk. Makes about 50 s’mores.

POT PIE PARCELS Difficulty level: medium (oven use) | How tiny is it? 3 inches Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 15 to 25 minutes | Servings: 12 3 tablespoons butter ¼ cup all-purpose flour ½ cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary ½ tablespoon chopped parsley ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 small onion, finely diced 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables 1 cup precooked chicken, diced small 1 box refrigerator pie crust (or 2 cans refrigerator biscuits) 2 sprigs fresh rosemary for garnish
Note: Mini-muffin pan sizes may vary. If needed, cut down the pie crust/biscuit sizes to match the size of your pan. Note: Pot Pie Parcels can be made two ways: with biscuits or pie crust. The biscuits are perfect for packed lunches and eating at room temperature, while the pie crust version is closer to a traditional pot pie and is best served hot. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add flour and mix well. Cook, stirring often until mixture starts to brown and smell nutty. Add cream, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper and stir until mixed. Add onion, vegetables, and chicken. Cook for 3 minutes. If sauce seems too thick to stir, slowly incorporate up to 1/2 cup of water until it becomes just thin enough to stir. Spray a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Cut pie crust into 3-inch circles with a cookie cutter or drinking glass. Push one crust round (or one biscuit) into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup. Spoon in filling, then cover with another crust round (or biscuit). Seal edges together. For pie crust, bake 25 minutes at 425 F. For biscuits, bake 20 minutes at 375 F. Garnish with little rosemary sprigs. Per serving: 71 calories, 3 grams fat (2 grams saturated fat), 2 milligrams cholesterol, 31 milligrams sodium, 9 grams total carbohydrates, 0.5 gram fiber, 1 gram protein.

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
How your thermostat affects your electric bill One of the largest influences on your home’s energy use is the weather. Cold winter temps can cause your heating system to run often, which can result in high winter bills. How much weather affects your electric bills depends on many factors, including your home’s original construction materials, insulation, and air leaks. Personal comfort plays a role too, as does the difference between the thermostat setting inside and the temperature outside. During especially cold or hot days, your heating and cooling system has to work hard because of the temperature gap between the exterior and interior of your home. Let’s say you keep your thermostat set to 70 degrees yearround. If temperatures reach 85 degrees in the summer, there would be a 15 degree gap between the temperature inside your home and the temperature outside. This gap becomes smaller when temperatures cool during the nighttime, so your air conditioning doesn’t have to work as hard to overcome the difference. Winter is a different story. The same thermostat setting of 70 degrees would have a daytime gap of 40 degrees if the outside temperature is in the 30s. When the sun sets, temperatures drop and the gap increases. If temperatures dip into the 20s, your heating system is working against a 50 degree difference. That temperature gap would be equivalent to a 120 degree summer day! Receiving a bill that is higher than expected can be surprising and distressing. Learning how to monitor
and manage your electric use can help you take charge of your electric bills. While we can’t control the weather, you can wisely use electricity by following these tips to help save energy and money this winter.
Set your thermostat to 68 degrees. You can maximize your energy savings by setting the temperature even lower, to 65 degrees at night and when you are away from home for more than a few hours.

Washington Electric staffers graduate leadership skills program Washington Electric Cooperative employees Jennifer Davis and Josh Jump have graduated from a statewide program that hones the skills of the next generation of electric cooperative leaders. The one-year Cooperative Leadership Edge program was hosted by Washington Electric’s trade association, Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, and required six courses, two assessments, and a capstone project. Coursework focused on coaching employees, managing conflict, adapting communication approaches, carrying out difficult conversations, and delivering results. “Leadership Edge was a wonderful experience,” says Davis, who serves as Washington Electric’s accountant and has been with the co-op since 2015. “It helped me sharpen skills that are so critical in a workplace but that sometimes get placed to the side because of other important responsibilities. I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a great program.” Jump joined the Washington Electric team in 2020 as its director of safety and compliance. “One of the best aspects of the Leadership Edge program is that it fosters a really positive networking environment,” he says. “I met and learned from a lot of colleagues from cooperatives across the state. It’s great to have a group of experienced people with whom I can share ideas and offer and receive advice, which helps all of us strengthen our skills and our co-ops.”
SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
Washington Electric invests in training and development with the goal of serving consumermembers with top talent and skills, says CEO/ General Manager Jeff Triplett. “We’re not just an electricity provider — we’re here to make this area an even better place to live, work, and serve,” he says. “That means investing in our employees and making sure we’re providing the best possible community services. We’re really proud of Jennifer and Josh for their accomplishments, and we’re pleased to have them on our staff.”

C
athann Kress’ introduction to American life and American agriculture didn’t happen until she was well into her teenage years. Before then, her family lived wherever her parents’ Air Force careers took them — mainly the Middle East and Brazil. But when she was 12, she was welcomed into a Mennonite family on their Iowa farm. “My love of agriculture started with this family,” she says. “The whole, very rural, community I lived in gave me a good understanding of what it means to be in agriculture. It’s about sustaining life. It’s the cornerstone of national security.” Kress took to farm life right away after she moved to Iowa. She enjoyed baling hay and all the chores required for raising hogs, sheep, corn, and soybeans. Like many farm kids, she belonged to 4-H, where she showed sheep and did public speaking. “I owned part of the flock of sheep by the time I graduated from high school,” she says, “and friends I made in 4-H are still my friends today.” Soon, her own career took off, and she found herself working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where, as the national director of 4-H, she took a special interest in establishing 4-H for military children. The arc reached its current pinnacle in 2017, when Kress was appointed dean of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at Ohio State University — the

first woman to hold that position at OSU. She also holds the title of vice president for agricultural administration there. Kress says the best part of her job as dean is the people around her. “I get to work with brilliant scientists working on a range of things that are important — food security, carbon management, and soybean plant improvement,” she says. “And the students — their optimism and their energy are wonderful. We also have 45,000 living alumni who are deeply engaged with our college. They want to help and to come to events. It’s the people who make it all possible, and I love being part of it.” Continued on page 24

Cathann Kress got involved in agriculture when she was 12 and still enjoys working with young people just getting into the field. Continued from page 23
Kress says most folks would be surprised at the breadth of her position. On one day, for example, she had meetings related to Green Circle Growers, turf grasses, securing grants, public safety, IT, and risk management. She also met with groups of students and student council representatives. Her job’s biggest challenges, she says, are usually the things she can’t control. “Funding has pretty much held level [for several years], so with inflation, that means it has declined.” Kress had been on the job just over two years when the pandemic hit, bringing with it multiple challenges: “Educating our students, keeping the research going, keeping people healthy,” she says. “But it’s important not to go into a stance of being reactive. You have to respond by being strategic and asking how we can get ahead of this.” Kress sees both short-term and long-term challenges still ahead for Ohio agriculture. “Supply chain is going to be an issue for a while,” she says. “The lack of truck drivers affects the ability to move goods. Infrastructure is important to achieving our goals, as we have locks, dams, and bridges [that need repair].” “Consumers don’t always understand why farmers might do some things,” she says. “We need to make sure that consumers understand what it takes to produce their food. The pandemic has shown that our just-in-time food system can have problems.” For long-term challenges, “climate is a persistent issue, which will continue to be a primary focus. We also have workforce shortages, with many not fully understanding the breadth of careers and the high-tech nature of work available in agriculture and natural resources,” she says. Technology and research will solve some problems. Kress sees one particular strength to counter some of agriculture’s challenges. “Cooperatives have always been a part of agriculture,” Kress notes. “Years ago, cooperatives brought electricity to farms. Now they’re working on broadband. A cooperative is a fantastic model for farmers to use. It allows them to get things that would be difficult to get on their own.” 24 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • FEBRUARY 2022

A Defiance housewife’s way with words made her famous and helped feed her family. BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS
T
he 1950s and ’60s were considered the “Contest Era” in America, and no one in the country was better at creating a prize-winning jingle or short poem than Evelyn Ryan. The wife of an alcoholic husband and the mother of 10 growing children, Evelyn entered contests to help stave off poverty for her family. She won a stunning number of times, averaging one prize every four times she entered; she won kitchen appliances, TVs, watches, sports equipment, cash, cars, vacations — the lengthy list goes on and on.
26 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • FEBRUARY 2022
She also possessed the uncanny knack for timing in her wins. As an ancient household appliance finally broke down and died, Evelyn would often receive notice that she’d just won a brand-new replacement. “I seem to have a knack for words,” she admitted. Doing much of her writing while standing at an ironing board, pressing her family’s mounds of clothes, she recorded her thoughts in an ever-present, spiral-bound notebook she kept close at hand.
promoted as “The Tune Without a Title.” The contest was designed to come up with a name for a giant sub sandwich by fitting the name of the sub to the beat of a particular song. Evelyn’s winning entry was Frisk-theFrigidaire, Clean-the-Cupboards-Bare Sandwich. For that, she won three items as grand prize: a new, bright-yellow 1961 Triumph TR3 sportscar; a full-size Seeburg jukebox; and an all-expenses-paid weekend trip for two to New York City to appear on Merv Griffin’s Saturday Prom TV show. When the prizes arrived, Evelyn quickly sold both the sportscar and jukebox to pay outstanding family bills, but she and son Bruce did take the trip to New York, staying in a fancy hotel suite. The ultimate win of her contesting career came several years later, when the Dr. Pepper soft drink company asked contestants to complete the following limerick:
Her quips usually included a humorous twist, similar to the writing of Ogden Nash, often poking fun at herself. Measuring just 5 feet, 6 inches tall, Evelyn had gained a few pounds later in life and wrote:
“
Fitting Advice Of all sad words, Give these the prize: ‘My dear, You’ll need Our larger size.’
”
Evelyn Ryan’s first major win came in 1953 when she entered Western Auto’s Bike Contest, completing the phrase “I like the all-new ‘X-53 Super’ Western Flyer bicycle because …” Her goal was not necessarily to win the grand prize, but one of the 100 bikes to be awarded second-place finishers. Her son Dick’s bike had recently been wrecked in an accident that was not his fault, forcing him to give up his newspaper route. She wrote on her contest entry form: brand new ideas about safety, service, sleekness, combined with Western Flyer’s old reliable construction, make “X-53 Super” a standout in ANY bike rack! Surprising the Ryan family as well as the entire town of Defiance, Evelyn won not only a new bike for Dick but also the grand prize of $5,000 cash, which would equal about 10 times that in today’s dollars. In what was to be her typical dramatic style, her win came just as their landlord was about to evict them from the small, two-bedroom house the family was renting. She and her husband used the cash as a down payment on a house of their own. More wins, both large and small, came during the ensuing years — and at an accelerated rate. One of the major contests was sponsored by Beech-Nut gum and
With Dr. Pepper, the flavor that’s in. It’s distinctive and bright It’s lively and light …
”
Evelyn’s winning last line was:
“
There’s no time like NOW to begin!
It bested a whopping 250,000 other entries nationwide, earning her the four-part grand prize of a two-week trip for two to Switzerland, a new Ford Mustang, his-andhers gold Longines wristwatches, and best of all, nearly $3,500 in cash. The cash paid off a second mortgage on the family home that was due the very next day. Evelyn’s daughter, Terry Ryan, wrote a 2001 national bestseller about her mom’s amazing run, titled The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio: How My Mother Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less. The book was subsequently made into a film of the same name, released in 2005, starring Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson. Evelyn Ryan died in 1998 at the age of 85, a week after penning one of her last poems — which, fittingly, contains exactly 25 words:
“
Every time I pass the church I stop and make a visit So when I’m carried in feet first God won’t say, ‘Who is it?’

BOOKISH BYWAY The Ohio Literary Trail leads the well-read on a journey through the state. BY ALICIA ADAMS
O
hio’s writers, poets, authors, and musicians have left lasting impressions on Supreme Court judges, inspired presidents, and moved the entire nation to change its opinion. Their stories, songs, poetry, and literature have graced the silver screen, won Pulitzer and Nobel prizes, and helped create a whole new genre of fiction. Ohio’s erudite literary talent even helped define the English language itself. The Ohioana Library Association, a nonprofit literary organization, has dedicated itself to preserving and promoting Ohio authors and their works, and to that end, published the first Ohio Literary Trail in 1957 to honor and highlight artists and their cultural contributions. The trail showcases more than 70 landmarks, including historical buildings, libraries, and markers, as well as festivals that commemorate Ohio’s literary contributions. The publication took the form of a printed map for the first several decades of its existence. In 2020, the trail went online (www.ohioana.org/resources/the-ohio-literarytrail-2), where it now features an interactive map that divides the state into five regions. Each section of the site contains links and information about the destinations within the region. The map is downloadable and — perhaps as a subtle nod to its past — is also printable. David Weaver, executive director of the Ohioana Library, said the digital map has been met with incredible enthusiasm. “Even though we launched it during a pandemic, we have been thrilled with people’s response to it.” The Ohio Literary Trail isn’t all about authors who have been relegated to the pages of history. “We felt it was important
to include interaction with current writers at events in each of the regions — celebrations where you can meet present-day Ohio writers and learn about their work,” says Ohioana board member Betty Weibel. With so many treasures to explore on the trail, it can be hard to figure out where to start — so we asked Ohioana Library Association board members and their program director, Morgan Peters, to share some of their favorites.

Northwest Jennifer Fisher/Nancy Drew Exhibit, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library Carolyn Keene, the author’s name that appears on the covers of the Nancy Drew mystery novels, is a pen name for 28 individuals who have ghost-written the series over the decades. The first writer hired to author the books was also the one who made the series a bestseller: Mildred Wirt Benson, who wrote under the pen name from 1929 to 1947. In addition to writing several nonNancy Drew novels, Benson also worked as a weekly columnist at the Toledo Blade for 56 years.
The exhibit, located in the aptly named Mystery Room, displays paintings, books, magazines, and other items related to the TV shows and movies. All 135 of Mildred Wirt Benson’s books and her newspaper articles are preserved here.
Northeast Malabar Farm State Park, Lucas In 1938, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Hollywood screenwriter, and conservationist Louis Bromfield built a 32room house among the rolling, wooded hills near Mansfield. While Bromfield’s main goal was to advance agriculture and environmentalism, he managed to combine Hollywood celebrity with farming. His close friends Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married at his house, and several Hollywood stars, including James Cagney, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, and Carol Lombard, regularly visited to roll up their sleeves and work in the dirt for their stay. While the Hollywood spotlight now shines elsewhere, thousands of visitors tour the working farm each year to explore the house, walk the wooded trails, or stay overnight in the cabin.
Southwest Paul Laurence Dunbar State Memorial, Dayton Paul Laurence Dunbar was the first internationally acclaimed African American poet. Born to parents who were freed slaves from Kentucky, Dunbar grew up to be a groundbreaking poet and writer who produced over 400 works in his short lifetime. His house became the first state memorial in Ohio to honor African American history and sits not too far from another museum that honors two of his close friends: the Wright Brothers.
The Columbus house where James Thurber lived the early part of his life (left) is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The building serves as a gathering place for readers, writers, and artists. Right, the library and reading room is one of numerous spectacularly restored ornate rooms on the Wagnalls Museum in Lithopolis.

Central Ohio The Wagnalls Memorial, Lithopolis Adam Wagnalls was co-founder of the publishing company Funk and Wagnalls, which was best known for its dictionaries and encyclopedias. “Put that in your Funk and Wagnalls,” a common phrase heard throughout the mid20th century, was a colloquial ode to the popularity of their dictionary. The memorial, built and dedicated to Adam and his wife, Anna, from their daughter, Mabel Wagnall, is a Tudor-Gothic structure featuring soaring architecture and lush interior decorative details. Gardens, a tower, a formal entrance hall, and a library are among its many offerings.
Thurber House, Columbus Ohio State University alumnus and Columbus native James Thurber’s cartoons and short stories were a regular feature in the New Yorker and have also appeared as theater and movie productions. The house
on Jefferson Avenue is where he lived from 1913 to 1917. Now a historic landmark, museum, and intellectual salon for readers and writers, Thurber House features workshops, writer residencies, and regular visits from local and national authors.
Southeast National Road and Zane Grey Museum, Norwich U.S. 40, also known as the National Road, was a vital link to the western frontier during the 19th century. While the highway may have opened the western frontier to the rest of America, author Zane Grey was responsible for popularizing the rugged lifestyle through the fiction genre known as the western. Born in Zanesville and originally a dentist, Grey took up writing in 1905 and wrote over 50 western novels in his lifetime. His prolific work shaped the genre both in print and on television and movie screens. The museum highlights Grey’s literary impact on American culture with an exhibit of his manuscripts and personal effects.
