s summer has ended and autumn is upon us, your electric cooperatives are making plans for next year.

Ohio’s 24 electric cooperatives use a diverse mix of fuel sources — coal, gas, solar, hydro, and biomass — to produce what has proven to be a resilient, reliable, and affordable supply of electricity in an environmentally responsible manner. We also recognize the increasing role that renewable resources play in the nation’s power grid. Solar-generated energy, particularly in this part of the country, is a hot topic.

In 2017, Ohio’s electric cooperative network launched the OurSolar statewide initiative that developed 23 community solar projects across the state. In total, the arrays can provide up to 2 megawatts of renewable energy, under ideal conditions. Consumer-member response to the new community-based solar farms and solar power subscription opportunities was clearly supportive. Panels available for subscription at many participating co-ops sold out almost immediately.

We’ve learned a lot from the OurSolar project operations over the past couple of years and are making changes to improve the cost and the output of our next project. Check out our “Harnessing the sun” article on page 4 for an update.

As anyone who’s lived through an Ohio winter or spring knows, we can’t depend strictly on solar-generated power — it simply isn’t reliable enough to meet our needs. However, our approach of providing community solar is a less expensive and more convenient method for our consumer-members to choose a lower-emitting, more renewablebased energy supply. We’ll continue to learn more from the project and adapt our supply mix to meet your needs.

Hope you enjoy a happy Halloween — fewer tricks, more treats.

HARNESSING

THE SUN

Co-ops respond to member demand with an expansion of their community solar program.

BY JEFF MCCALLISTER

uckeye Power, the generation and transmission cooperative that provides electricity to Ohio’s 24 electric cooperatives, produces safe, affordable, and reliable power using an all-of-the-above generation strategy.

Since electricity can be generated in many ways, it makes sense to make use of any or all of them to produce the power that turns the lights on for the 400,000 Ohio co-op consumermember households, farms, and businesses.

Each potential generating resource — coal plants, solar panels, hydropower facilities, etc. — produces power at a different level of reliability, environmental impact, and cost, so the trick is to balance each factor in the generation mix to produce electricity in the safest, cleanest, most economical, and most reliable way possible.

That’s already a complicated task, because some of those factors tend to be at odds with one another. In recent times, another factor has added another twist to those generation decisions: consumer attitudes.

“I think it’s important to know that I’m doing as much as I can to support green energy,” says Tom Kagy, a member of North Baltimore-based Hancock-Wood Electric Cooperative. Kagy, a retired insurance agent who also serves on Hancock-Wood’s board of trustees, was one of the first members to put in his subscription application for the cooperative’s community solar program, OurSolar.

4 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

Greening the grid Buckeye Power introduced OurSolar in 2017, recognizing the interest that cooperative consumer-members around the state had in cleaner options for their energy consumption.

That initial program was popular enough — Hancock-Wood, for example, sold all its available subscriptions in the first 10 days they were available — that the company now plans to expand the program over the next year.

In the first phase, Buckeye Power built 23 smaller arrays located in communities served by electric cooperatives around the state. Those panels produce a total of about 2 megawatts (MW) of electricity when at full output in sunny conditions. The second phase, currently in the planning stages, will add another 2 MW of production capacity — this time from a single 15-acre solar field near North Baltimore.

In comparison, the coal-fired units 2 and 3 at the Cardinal Plant, the aces of Buckeye Power’s deck of generation sources, together produce about 1,200 MW and are designed to generate electricity 24 hours a day.

Incremental change “We still rely on coal to handle the majority of our generation needs, but we are excited to make incremental additions of other resources,” says Ben Wilson, Buckeye Power’s manager of power delivery engineering.

“Solar, today, doesn’t save money for us or our members. If it were cheaper than producing power at Cardinal and we had an economical way to store the energy for those times when the sun isn’t shining, we might have to rethink our long-term generation strategy, but it’s not there yet.”

So even while it doesn’t make economic sense to build hundreds of megawatts worth of solar panels now, other factors mean that increasing solar production incrementally, at smaller levels, does.

OCTOBER 2021 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING 5

“Right now, what we’re doing is a voluntary effort to introduce more renewable energy to our portfolio in a way that doesn’t increase overall costs, but still satisfies the demand we have from some members who want to have more renewable energy in their supply,” says Craig Grooms, Buckeye Power’s vice president of engineering and operations.

‘Energy accounting’ When energy enters the electric grid, there’s no way to distinguish solar energy from that generated by coal. Electric providers can’t send solar-generated electrons to one member’s house and those generated by coal to another.

“It’s essentially a matter of energy accounting,” Grooms says. “We put energy on the grid, measure it, and get paid for it. Consumers use electricity from the grid, have a meter that measures it, and they’re charged for that amount. In that equation, you can’t tell where it comes from.”

What providers like Buckeye Power can do, however, is to adjust the percentage of energy from different sources that’s put out onto the grid — when the sun is shining, for example, more can come from solar panels; when it’s dark or cloudy, more must come from coal.

As opposed to individually purchased rooftop panels, which require a substantial up-front investment from a consumer — an investment that usually is financed at payments much larger than most electric bills — the OurSolar program lets consumer-members pay a small

premium on their electric bill to assure that a larger percentage of energy on the grid comes from solar panels.

“OurSolar opens the benefits of solar generation to anyone who receives an electric bill, including lowerincome residents, businesses, municipalities, schools, and nonprofits,” says Pat O’Loughlin, president and CEO of Buckeye Power. “It gives members a lower-cost, more convenient option, compared to on-site solar.”

The subscription question Individual cooperatives offer the opportunity for their members to participate in the OurSolar program in different ways. Some offer subscriptions that can be purchased by individual members, others provide it as a resource to all members. There’s no clear-cut “best” way to increase solar energy production; those decisions — ­ like all co-op decisions — are made by local boards and management on behalf of and in the best interests of the membership.

Ultimately, the program reflects the cooperatives’ dedication to their most important objective.

“Ohio’s electric cooperatives will not waiver from our mission to supply affordable, reliable, and environmentally responsible power to our members,” O’Loughlin says.

“Our decisions regarding the generation sources and the integration of renewable energy now and into the future can’t consider only one or two of those objectives; they have to meet all three.”

Percentage of Buckeye Power’s renewable generation from various sources Ohio’s co-ops take a balanced approach to renewable energy. While continuing to support and utilize affordable coal-fired generation for the bulk of their power, Buckeye Power and its member cooperatives have made significant investments in renewable energy on behalf of Ohio co-op families.

CO-OP PEOPLE

Robbie and Carrie Davis have built a solid business out of fleecing their customers.

Spinning yarns

STORY AND PHOTOS BY DAMAINE VONADA

W

hen a young woman approached Robbie and Carrie Davis about making the yarn for her wedding shawl, they readily obliged. The brideto-be wanted the yarn to contain fleece from a specific alpaca, so they created an alpaca-silk blend especially for her. “She’ll use our yarn to weave the shawl herself and eventually will pass it on as a family heirloom,” says Carrie.

“That just gives me chills.”

Robbie and Carrie are Butler Rural Electric Cooperative members who operate a fiber mill — America’s Natural Fiberworks (ANF) — at Blessed Criations, the 11-acre farm near Oxford where they also make their home.

A cria is a baby alpaca, and the farm’s name was inspired by the couple’s years of alpaca industry experience.

8 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

They acquired their first alpacas in 2006 and soon began breeding and showing the animals at fairs with help from their son, Jessie, who is now 20 and an aviation technology student at Sinclair Community College. Alpacas don’t shed, so Robbie and Carrie became adept at shearing.

Soon, breeders began to hire them to shear, and the couple noticed that shaved fleece was usually discarded.

They opened the mill in 2012 to convert raw alpaca fiber into yarn or felt. Carrie learned to card and spin by hand, and Robbie, who had been an ironworker for 20 years, quit his job to tend their fledgling cottage industry. As word about the mill spread and orders increased, they wanted to expand, but banks balked at lending money to a mill. That’s when Kim and Brad DeLaney, of Ohio’s KB

Left, Carrie and Robbie Davis in their fiber mill at Blessed Criations Farm near Oxford; right, a close-up look at some of their alpaca-shorn yarns.

Alpacas, invested in ANF and helped the Davises purchase equipment.

“We originally thought we could get harvested fiber from within a 50-mile radius,” says Robbie. “Now we have customers in 42 states, including Alaska and Hawaii.”

Because of ANF’s success, Robbie and Carrie reduced the size of Blessed Criations’ herd. “We decided that if we couldn’t give 100% to our alpacas, we shouldn’t be breeding and selling them,” says Carrie. The couple still owns or co-owns animals being raised at KB Alpacas and other breeding farms.

The Davises outfitted ANF with equipment manufactured by Belfast Mini Mills, a Canadian company specializing in machinery for processing small batches of fiber. Because of difficulties finding and keeping employees, Robbie and Carrie run the mill themselves and have upped their productivity by doubling its equipment. “We have two of everything except for the washer and the picker,” says Robbie. He and Carrie process about 7,500 pounds of fiber annually. “That’s a lot for two people,” notes Robbie. “We’ve been told that the next-highestproducing mini-mill is in Tennessee and does 4,000 pounds a year with full-time help.”

Robbie estimates that the United States has about 125 mini-mills. “Around 50% of them are full-service mills like ANF,” he says, “and the rest are limited to making things like rug yarn.” Besides two- and three-ply yarns, Robbie and Carrie turn out roving, batting, rug yarn, felt, and lopi, a very long, single-strand yarn made from Icelandic sheep wool. They also do small weaving projects, create rugs, and dye yarns for customers. “We just made scarlet and gray yarn for someone who wanted Ohio State’s colors,” says Carrie.

Though they focus on alpaca fleece, the Davises will give any natural fiber a whirl and have processed hair from bison, yak, goats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. “What differentiates us,” says Carrie, “is that we’ll do fiber from individual animals. Sometimes people even ask us to put a card with an animal’s picture on a finished skein of yarn.”

Robbie and Carrie work with 250 to 300 customers every year. “The majority are repeats,” says Robbie. “Most are small alpaca farms or individuals, like the lady who buys fleece and pays us to turn it into yarn that she sells online.” Taking great pride in the mill, the Davises love it when people send them photos of items made with ANF yarn, and for them, that strong fabric of relationships is a source of satisfaction that more than compensates for the constantly clattering machinery, long hours on their feet, and late nights spent washing fleece.

The quality of their work got a big pat on the back when a well-known breeding farm in Colorado recently chose ANF to make yarn from its prize alpaca’s fleece. “We were super excited to get fleece from the top animal of a top breeder,” says Carrie, “and the fact that they trusted us with it is something that feels really good.”

who was

Grandma Gatewood?

BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS

Do you like to hike? Emma Rowena Gatewood sure did.

In 1955, at the age of 67, Gatewood told her 11 grown children that she was going for a “walk.” She didn’t stop walking until she had hiked the entire Appalachian Trail (2,200 miles) — solo — in a single year, the first woman to ever accomplish that feat. She did it again in 1960 and then yet again in 1963 at the age of 75, making her the first person to ever thru-hike the trail three times (though the third time she did it in sections).

Known for her minimalist, no-nonsense approach to hiking, Gatewood used a homemade sassafras walking stick to help steady her on the trail and carried a cloth sack slung over her shoulder, filled with only 18 pounds of food and equipment. Today’s hikers often carry twice that much weight if not more, and they do it with high-tech backpacks. Instead, she had the following advice for would-be AT hikers: “Make a rain cape out of a shower curtain and an over-the-shoulder sling bag and buy a sturdy pair of Keds tennis shoes. Stop at local groceries and pick up Vienna sausages; most everything else to eat you can find along the trail.”

Above, Emma Gatewood (courtesy Wikimedia Commons); right, a modern-day hiker pauses along the Appalachian Trail on a foggy morning (photo by W.H. “Chip” Gross).

12 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

Gatewood was born in Ohio’s Gallia County in 1887, and her father was a Union soldier who had fought and was wounded in the Civil War. She had 14 brothers and sisters who slept four to a bed in the family log cabin. Emma married young, at age 19, to a man who was both mentally and physically abusive; the couple divorced in 1940 after 33 years of marriage.

Your question may be answered on www.ohiocoopliving.com!

www.ohiocoopliving.com Emma Gatewood first learned about the Appalachian Trail in the August 1949 issue of National Geographic magazine. “The story made hiking the trail sound easy,” she said. “It wasn’t.”

Her first attempt at the AT, in 1954, didn’t go well. Starting in Maine, she was determined to hike the trail north to south, finishing in Georgia. Within only a few days, she lost the trail — never admitting to being lost herself, of course — and was found by two rangers.

Undaunted, Gatewood tried again the next year, 1955, starting in Georgia and planning to walk the trail south to north, which is what most thru-hikers do today. Emma completed her trek to the summit of Maine’s Mount Katahdin in about five months, hiking through 14 states, eight national forests, and six national parks.

Upon returning home from her adventure, Gatewood surprisingly found herself a national celebrity. She was interviewed by numerous newspapers and even Sports Illustrated magazine, and she appeared on the television programs NBC Today Show, Art Linkletter’s House Party, and Groucho Marx’s You Bet Your Life.

Years before all that recognition, as Emma Gatewood was raising her large family, she often took the kids to Ohio’s most-visited state park, Hocking Hills, for a day’s outing. “She said Hocking was her favorite place to bring her family to go hiking,” says Pat Quackenbush, recently retired naturalist supervisor at the park. “In 1966, she became one of the leaders of the park’s annual Winter Hike.” In fact, she led that hike every year until she died in Gallipolis in 1973, at age 85.

Quackenbush said he remembers meeting Gatewood briefly at the park when he was a young boy. “I wasn’t aware then of how well-known she was,” he says. Today, the main trail from Old Man’s Cave to Ash Cave is known as the Grandma Gatewood Trail.

If you would like to participate in this year’s annual autumn Grandma Gatewood Hike, it’s scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 16, starting at 9 a.m. at the Hocking Hills Old Man’s Cave visitor center. Family-friendly, the hike covers 6 miles, from the visitor center to Cedar Falls and back.

In addition to having an Ohio state park trail named after her, Emma “Grandma” Gatewood was also director emeritus and a lifetime member of Ohio’s Buckeye Trail Association. A PBS documentary of her life, Trail Magic: The Grandma Gatewood Story, was released in 2015 and it’s a great watch — especially if you’re starting to think you are too old to try something new.

on the bottom rack of the oven, or until the skin has started to brown and wrinkle and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.

If you’re unsure it’s soft enough, keep cooking. Overcooking pumpkin for soup is better than undercooking it. If the skin starts to burn, loosely cover with foil.

Let pumpkin cool, then peel off the skin and remove the stem. Place remaining flesh in a food processor and blend until very smooth. Add the roasted red onion, vegetable broth, cayenne, nutmeg, ginger, and paprika and blend again.

Pour soup into a saucepan and heat to desired temperature (or store soup in fridge until ready to eat.) Once hot, taste to adjust spices to your liking. Garnish with a swirl of heavy cream and the roasted pumpkin seeds.

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

It’s a matter of (co-op!) principles A

CE Hardware, State Farm, REI, Land O’Lakes, and Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative all share something in common: We’re all cooperatives.

We may be in different industries, but we all share a passion for serving our members and helping our communities thrive. In fact, all cooperatives adhere to the same set of seven principles that reflect our core values. October is National Co-op Month — the perfect time to reflect on these principles that have stood the test of time but that also provide a framework for the future.

Let’s take a look at the first three cooperative principles.

Voluntary and open membership Just like all co-ops, Buckeye was created out of necessity — to meet a need that would have been otherwise unmet in our community. So in 1938, a group of neighbors banded together and organized our electric co-op so everyone in our community could benefit. The newly established electric lines helped power economic opportunity in our community.

While this history may be long ago, key parts of that heritage remain — the focus on our mission and serving the greater good. In this, we include everyone to improve the quality of life and economic opportunity for the entire community. Membership is open to everyone in our service territory, regardless of race, religion, age, disability, gender identity, language, political perspective, or socioeconomic status.

Democratic member control Our co-op is well suited to meet the needs of our members because we are locally governed. Each member gets a voice and a vote in how the co-op is

run, and each voice and vote are equal. Buckeye’s leadership team and employees live right here in the community. Our board of directors, which helps set longterm priorities for the co-op, is also composed of members who live locally, on co-op lines. These board members have been elected by neighbors just like you.

Our close connection to this Tonda Meadows EXEC. VP/GENERAL MANAGER community ensures we get a firsthand perspective on members’ priorities, thereby enabling us to make more informed decisions.

Members’ economic participation As a utility, our mission is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable energy to our members. But as a co-op, we are also motivated by service to the community, rather than profits. Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of Buckeye. At least part of that capital remains the common property of the cooperative. Members allocate surpluses for co-op programs, initiatives, capital investments, and supporting other activities approved by the membership.

Buckeye Rural is a reflection of our local community and its evolving needs. We view our role as a catalyst for good and making our corner of the world a better place. And by the way, that sums up the seventh co-op principle, “concern for community,” which I’ll elaborate on in a future column. You can see that seventh principle at work in our pages this month.

Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative will be closed on Monday, Oct. 11

meeting recap

For the second straight year, Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative (BREC) held its annual meeting virtually on Aug. 14, 2021. This was due to the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the pandemic and how that impacted our ability to hold an in-person meeting. We encourage BREC members to visit our website to view the virtual meeting in full at https://www.buckeyerec.coop/index.php/annual-meeting/. For members who are unable to access the video, we have provided the following meeting remarks from Board President Paul Berridge along with Executive Vice President and General Manager Tonda Meadows.

G

ood morning. The Buckeye Rural Electric meeting of the members is now called to order.

On behalf of your board of trustees, thank you for joining us for this year’s annual meeting. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the state restrictions for large gatherings that were still in place when we were planning for this Paul Berridge event, the board voted to BOARD PRESIDENT hold this year’s meeting in a virtual format. Our members’ and employees’ health and safety remain our top priority. We hope to return to our normal venue next year, and we look forward to seeing you in person.

Please welcome Roy Sprague to lead us in the invocation this morning.

Let’s all stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

I’m Paul Berridge, one of the two representatives from Jackson, Ohio, and I currently serve as your board president.

First Vice President — Bill Holcomb; representing Athens, Meigs, and Vinton counties

20 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

Second Vice President — Wes Williams; representing Pike, Ross, and Scioto counties Secretary-Treasurer — Roy Sprague; representing Gallia County Dennis Blakeman; also representing Jackson County Nanette Gill; also representing Athens, Meigs, and Vinton counties Ron Hatfield; representing Lawrence County Jim Herrell; Also representing Lawrence County Jodi Penrod; Also representing Gallia County In November 2020, we unexpectedly lost one of our directors, Roberta Duncan, to cancer. Roberta served on the Buckeye Rural board from 2012 to 2020 as a member and as an officer and was a friend to the cooperative.

In January 2021, Everette Holcomb also went home to be with our Lord. He retired from the board in 2015 after 53 years of serving on the board of directors and brought a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and history to the board.

They are both dearly missed.

For those new members who may be joining us for their first meeting, I would like to give you a little background on Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative.

We were organized in 1938 as a not-for-profit cooperative to bring electricity to the rural areas not served by investorowned utilities. We are one of more than 900 cooperatives

in 47 states serving the electric needs of most of rural America. As a cooperative, we are owned by you, the customers we serve.

The operations at Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative are overseen by a board of directors elected by you, our member-owners. As directors, we are required to attend training to help us understand our roles and responsibilities. It also helps ensure that we, as directors, stay up to date on the key issues and trends in the industry and prepares us to meet the challenges facing electric cooperatives now and in the future.

Our service territory is divided into five districts for equal representation throughout our service area. Jackson, Lawrence, and Gallia counties are represented by two directors each and Athens, Meigs, and Vinton counties are combined and have two representatives as well.

Pike, Ross, and Scioto counties are combined into one district with one representative. Nominees are presented to a formal nomination committee for interview and consideration every other year to be voted on at the annual meeting. We serve six-year terms.

We are a tax-exempt corporation, which means we don’t pay income taxes. This is because we give any earnings above costs back to our members in the form of capital

Good morning!

When we held our annual meeting virtually last year, I never imagined that we would be doing it again a year later.

My favorite part of the annual meeting has always been having the opportunity to talk to you before the meeting actually began, and I really miss that part. However, we Tonda Meadows EXEC. VP/GENERAL MANAGER want you to know that we are still available to you. You are welcome to call us if you have any concerns that you would like to discuss, or we can schedule a visit with you if you prefer. We are here to serve you, our member-owners.

At this time, we will recognize our 2021 scholarship winners:

Buckeye REC Children of Members Scholarship Kiki Barlow was chosen to receive the first-place scholarship award of $2,000. Kiki graduated from Vinton County High School and is the daughter of Terry and Jewell Barlow.

credits. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t support our community through various taxes. We pay sales tax, property tax, and tax on each kilowatt-hour sold. This represents about 3 cents of every dollar, which comes to about $2.6 million annually.

In the August issue of Ohio Cooperative Living, you will find a breakdown of the costs to operate this cooperative. Each year we assign our earnings to our members’ accounts and after a period of time voted on by the board, we retire those earnings to our members in the form of capital credits.

In 2020, we returned almost $1.4 million in cash back to our members through general and estate retirements of those capital credits, and over the years, we have returned more than $26 million back to you as our member-owners.

As your board of trustees, we understand that we are elected to represent you and to ensure that your cooperative is governed in a fair and efficient manner.

Each co-op policy is created and approved with the best interests of the membership in mind.

Working together, we can continue to achieve our vision of providing safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to our members.

Kiki plans to attend Capital University, majoring in business management. Another benefit of being selected as the winner of the first-place scholarship is the opportunity to compete for additional scholarships from Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives. Kiki won an additional $1,400 scholarship.

Emily Schwamberger of Chesapeake High School was awarded the seond-place scholarship and received $1,500. She is the daughter of Scott and Heather Schwamberger and plans to attend either Ohio University or Shawnee State University to obtain her bachelor of science in nursing. 2243100 Madison Wilson from Fairland High School received the third-place scholarship of $1,000. She is the daughter of Brittany Hann and plans to attend the University of Kentucky this fall with a major in agriculture and medical biotechnology on a pre-med track. Madison is hoping to pursue a career in genetics.

This year we added an additional fourth-place scholarship, and Noah Wood of Rock Hill High School received this $500 award. Noah is the son of Erik and Donna Haney. He plans to attend Ashland University, where he will run track and study business administration.

OCTOBER 2021 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING 20A

BUCKEYE RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE LOCAL PAGES Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives Technical Scholarship Elizabeth “Beth” Dial of Scottown, Ohio, was awarded a $2,000 scholarship in Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives’ Technical Scholarship competition. Beth and Thomas Dial have been members of Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative for 12 years. Mrs. Dial is enrolled in the registered nurse program at Collins Career Technical Center and is currently a licensed practical nurse at Marshall University’s Department of Orthopedic Surgery in Huntington, West Virginia.

What an impressive group, right?

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, our Washington, D.C., student Youth Tour was canceled again this year.

Let’s take a moment to give special recognition to our members who are currently active in the military or reserves, military veterans, as well as those that have lost loved ones while serving our great nation. We humbly thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Your annual report, including the financial statements for 2019 and 2020, can be found in the August issue of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine. I will keep it short and review just a few of the highlights today, but I encourage you to read the full report if you haven’t done so already.

The year 2020 was a challenging year to say the least.

We experienced unique and extraordinary events in the past year that included a global pandemic that changed our everyday lives as well as how we maintained our operations as a cooperative business.

In January, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 and reported that it had a high risk of spreading throughout the world and by March, they declared it a pandemic.

We were issued special guidance on travel, face coverings, social distancing, and large gatherings. Grocery stores ran short of some basic supplies and limited our purchases, schools closed or began working remotely, and businesses adjusted to accommodate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

During this time, Buckeye Rural Electric’s staff moved rapidly to implement our crisis management plan and placed the safety and health of our members and employees as our top priority. Here are a few of the precautions we took to limit exposure to our employees and members.

In March, we closed our offices to the public. We were able to modify our daily work practices to handle most of our essential services remotely and we kept our drive-thru open for those that still needed to conduct business in person.

20B OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

We worked closely with our members who were financially impacted by the pandemic by suspending disconnection of electric service due to nonpayment and allowing additional time for our members to pay their bills.

We separated our employees into specific teams with each team reporting to a separate location for several months to minimize the risk of contaminating the entire workforce if an employee was exposed to or perhaps contracted the virus.

Despite the many months of challenges, we were able to continue to work on several projects as part of our construction work plan that will serve the membership for many years to come.

Much of the work completed in 2020 was for the important process of backfeeding capabilities, which allows us to bring power from another source during outages and reduces the time that you are without electricity. Our engineering and operations departments worked together to design and rebuild weakened and heavily loaded lines throughout our territory and added protective devices to further improve service reliability.

In 2019, we began the initial steps to implement a SCADA operations system, which stands for supervisory control and data acquisition. In 2020, we completed SCADA installations in the Fayette and Windsor substations as well as the McArthur metering point. Once this system is fully deployed, it will help improve system restoration time, monitor substations and other devices, and provide data acquisition and peak load control options. Peak load control will help us save on the generation and transmission portion of the power cost, which in turn reduces your electric bills.

Throughout the year, we also continued to be vigilant with our right-of-way program, and with a cost of just over $2 million, completed approximately 55 miles of trimming and 200 miles of mowing. We also removed almost 2,300 off-right-of-way trees that were dead or dying and posed a threat to our electric lines. We are still experiencing extensive damage and die-off of the ash tree population in our territory due the emerald ash borer beetle.

As many of you will remember in 2019, Buckeye Rural was awarded a $2.5 million grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission POWER initiative that will provide approximately 70% of the necessary funds to install several miles of fiber in our service territory. Our staff has worked closely with the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission to design a path that will have the greatest impact and benefit to our members. We have also had a lot of involvement from your elected county and state representatives, and they are also anxious to help get high speed internet access to the rural areas that we serve.

The project will connect most of our cooperative substations and will allow us to utilize advanced technologies to further enhance service reliability and security. It will also allow for future broadband expansion to our members through internet service providers in our area. Without a doubt, the past year has shown there is real need for our rural areas to have access to high speed internet.

A major highlight of 2020 was achieving our highest ever member satisfaction score. Our scores have increased more than 30% since 2006, showing improvement each year. We believe this steady increase is a reflection of the excellent service our employees provide to you on a daily basis.

Although 2020 brought several unforeseen obstacles resulting in uncertainty to many businesses, we are pleased to report that Buckeye Rural remains in good financial condition.

we are hopeful that next year, we will be able to return to our normal meeting tradition and visit with you in person.

We want to thank our board of trustees for its leadership and guidance, and we give special thanks to all the employees who have worked diligently this past year on behalf of our membership. I have been blessed and privileged to serve with such an outstanding team here at Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative.

Normally a representative from Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives would be here to provide a statewide update, however, due to the early planning of this meeting for COVID-19 restrictions, they have prepared this video in lieu of a personal appearance.

Thank you for joining us this morning and for your continued support. God bless.

As Paul said earlier, we all feel that the annual membership meeting is a valued tradition here at Buckeye Rural, and

BREC employees hold food bank fundraiser Cooperatives everywhere are guided by seven principles.

The seventh principle, Concern for Community, is one that is very dear to Buckeye Rural. There is no better way to demonstrate that concern than by providing help where it really matters. To show our concern, BREC employees organized a fundraiser for the Southeast Ohio Foodbank.

In southeast Ohio, one in six individuals, including one in four children, struggle with hunger. Those facing food insecurity include seniors, children, working adults, veterans, and students. A combination of the impact of the pandemic, rising food prices, SNAP benefit cuts, wage stagnation, and underemployment have contributed to an increased need for emergency food services. These individuals face tough choices, choosing between food and other necessities.

The Southeast Ohio Foodbank is a distribution center that provides an efficient operation to collect and equitably distribute government-funded, donated, and purchased food to member agencies (over five million pounds in 2020). These member agencies operate programs like food pantries, hot meal sites, shelters, and other hungerrelief programs. This food bank works in 10 counties in southeast Ohio, with six of those counties being in Buckeye’s service territory.

Our goal for this monetary food bank drive was to raise at least $1,000 from employee contributions. With

$1,000, we could help provide food for over 200 families in our area. We are excited to say that we exceeded our goal by raising over $1,250. The BREC board of trustees provided a match from the cooperative, bringing the total donation to $2525.24.

BREC linemen complete COLT training

B

eing a lineworker is not an easy job — besides the strenuous nature of the work that both keeps the lights on and restores power when there’s an outage, the folks on the poles need to have a knowledge base that ranges from basic knot-tying to electrical engineering.

There’s a lot of training that goes into becoming (and remaining) a lineworker, and Ohio’s electric cooperatives are leaders in the field of lineworker training. OEC’s Central Ohio Lineworker Training (COLT) program provides elite hands-on apprentice and journeyman lineworker training.

The 7,200-square-foot COLT indoor facility in Mount Gilead, Ohio, includes two classrooms and 10 work stations where trainees get a hands-on learning experience. The facility has 19 wooden utility poles where apprentice lineworkers can practice their climbing and rescue techniques and learn specifics of the transformers and voltage regulators on those poles. It also includes an area where students can learn underground construction and how to maintain an energized underground system.

Lineworker training is a rigorous combination of classroom and field work. Candidates attend 12 weeks of training over a four-year period. Between training sessions, apprentice lineworkers work at their electric co-op, applying their new skills while working alongside experienced journey-level lineworkers.

Experienced lineworkers can hone their skills at COLT as well. While the basics of line work have remained relatively unchanged through the years, there have been many advancements in how the work is performed. These everchanging aspects of line work require a continuous learning environment and reinforcement of safety precautions.

On July 23, two BREC lineman completed COLT training — James Stapleton, who has been with BREC for five years, and Cody Walter, who has been a lineman for 41/2 years. Both Stapleton and Walter say the training they received helped them to become more confident in their work. Stapleton says, “The skills that I learned helped me to become a better leader within our co-op.” Walter adds, “We were able to make connections with guys from other co-ops that we know we can call upon if we ever need help or advice anywhere down the line.”

BREC congratulates both James and Cody on their completion of the COLT training!

Ghosthunters flock to southeastern Ohio for a good, historical scare.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY WENDY PRAMIK

“D

id you hear that?” my daughter, Rosie, asks as we climb a wooden staircase in the Anchorage, a former mansion on the outskirts of Marietta, in southeastern Ohio. “It sounded like a low grumble.”

My thoughts suddenly shift from capturing pictures of the 22-room house, which sits atop a hill overlooking Marietta, to a black-and-white photo I saw in a previous room.

Could the low grumble be coming from the ghost of the man wearing the white suit?

“Douglas Putnam,” I find myself saying aloud.

“What? Who?” says Rosie, tightly grasping the worn handrail.

“He’s the original owner,” I say. “But don’t worry. I think he’s a friendly ghost.”

History and hauntings A healthy respect for the “other side” is well advised during a visit to Marietta, which dates to 1788 as the first permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory. History and hauntings go hand in hand here, as the city’s storied, well-preserved past provides ghosthunters a spooky yearround playground.

Hidden Marietta, a ghost-tour company that offers nine unique experiences around the city, documents the eerie locations where the past meets the present. There are ghost trek tours, a special flashlight tour of the Anchorage, a ghostly tour of the Lafayette Hotel, vintage photo-taking, sites for tarot card readings, even opportunities to use your own paranormal search equipment during overnight stays at the Anchorage, the Lafayette, and nearby Blennerhassett Island.

For some, it’s a scream vacation.

“I think there are a lot of people who are into ghosts and spooky stuff and just like to go out and hear the weird and unusual history, and that’s kind of where our passion is,” says Megan Keller, who co-owns Hidden Marietta with four other women.

26 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

Nowhere in the city is the relationship more prevalent than at the Anchorage, where we may or may not have run into Putnam — the great-grandson of Gen. Israel Putnam, who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War. Douglas Putnam built the Anchorage in 1859 for his wife, Eliza. It’s now the home of the Washington County Historical Society and Hidden Marietta, and a portion of ghost-tour sales goes toward preservation of the old property.

Ghost sightings are common at the Anchorage, Keller says.

Some report seeing children. Others see Putnam, once the wealthiest man in Marietta, wearing a top hat.

Douglas and his brother, David Putnam Jr., were well-known abolitionists in Marietta. “Douglas Putnam fought for the freedom of slaves and for equal rights for women,” Keller says. “Even in his 80s, he went around and petitioned for women to be able to attend Marietta College.”

The house served as a private residence until 1962, then operated as a nursing home for 23 years before it was acquired by the historical society.

Most who do see and hear a spirit there believe it’s Eliza, the original lady of the house, who died in the home three years after it was built. Her funeral was held there. Ghost

hunters report seeing her wander about her beloved home, speaking in a soft voice or singing quietly.

Behind the scenes There’s a lot to do in this pretty city. Earlier in the day, Rosie and I took a sightseeing tour aboard a mahogany trolley. We rolled along brick streets and passed impressive Victorian homes. We learned about the Start Westward Monument, commemorating the Northwest Territory’s creation in 1787; the Ohio River Museum; and the Mound Cemetery. The cemetery has an ancient burial mound, called Conus, at the center

that’s surrounded by a graveyard brimming with the graves of more Revolutionary War officers than in any other cemetery in the country.

Harley Noland, operator of Historic Trolley Tours and a longtime Marietta resident, is a bit skeptical of all the supernatural hype. “I don’t believe in ghosts,” he says. “I give history tours in Marietta.”

Yet the area’s rich history makes it ripe for spooky tales. Hidden Marietta offers three ghost treks downtown, from June through October.

The original Front Street Ghost Trek includes a stop at the 77-room Lafayette Hotel, which was built in 1918. The ghost tour ventures into areas that are normally off-limits, such as the servants’ staircase and the Continued on page 28

basement. “I’ve never heard anything scary,” says Sheila Rhodes, general manager of the Lafayette. “It’s usually something funny or the ghost is trying to mess with you. If we have a ghost, it’s friendly.”

But the Lafayette’s third floor is one mysterious place. Former owner Durward Hoag and his family lived in the hotel’s penthouse, and rumor has it that he’s still watching over his domain.

If you’re in Room 312, you might hear rumblings from Hoag’s son, who spent a lot of time there sobering up.

Or so it’s said.

when enthusiasts of the supernatural gather to share experiences and tour the area’s haunted offerings.

Tales abound Everywhere you go in Marietta, it seems someone has a ghost story to share.

We met Tommy Hickey, chef at the Levee House. “From what I understand, at one time this was a brothel, and I guess this pretty wealthy oil tycoon used to come here and frequent the bar and then head up to the brothel. His teenage son didn’t like his father’s infidelity, so he cut his father’s head off with an ax.

“One night I was bent over the kitchen sink, and I saw something pass by the door. I thought it was customers, so I came running out, but there was nobody here. It’s happened to me four times.”

Hidden Marietta, 424 George St., Marietta (at the dead end of George Street), is open 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Monday through Thursday. The Curiosity Shop is open 6–10 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m.–8 p.m.

Saturdays and offers monsterand paranormal-themed books, paintings, ghost-hunting equipment, spooky jewelry, and more.

The group offers a variety of regularly scheduled spooky tours on most weekends through summer and fall, including both daylight and flashlight tours of the Anchorage, behind-the-scenes tours of the Lafayette Hotel, and ghost treks through various areas of the city.

Call 740-538-8996 or mail info@ hiddenmarietta.com for information or to book a private tour.

Once would have been enough for Rosie and me, but, fortunately, we made it out of the Anchorage unscathed.

Black widow spiders are sources of terror — for good reason.

BY CRAIG SPRINGER

Glacial ice and black widow spiders in Ohio — there’s a relationship.

Glaciers that retreated northward 10,000 years ago literally shaped Ohio’s land surface, leaving the southern and southwestern one-third of the state hilly, rocky,

30 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • OCTOBER 2021

and well-drained — a characteristic preferred by black widow spiders. Ohio’s Appalachian Piedmont is home to probably the most feared spider in the U.S. While the spider is not common, it is most prevalent in Ohio, from Oxford to East Liverpool and the bow-shaped hilly piedmont along the Ohio River.

Several species of widow spiders exist in North America, and Ohio has two of them: the Northern Black Widow and the Southern Black Widow — and the fear that we hold in our hearts for both of them is rational and deserved.

Black widow spiders produce a potent neurotoxin that has the potential to kill small children or the infirm. Before you break out the insecticide, however, do know that black widow bites are uncommon and fatalities from them are exquisitely rare. The effects from a bite are terribly uncomfortable, though. The pain comes on fast, and in healthy adults, subsides in a day or two.

My daughter, then 3 years old, was bitten by a black widow spider and within a few minutes, suffered severe abdominal muscle cramps and spasms. Her legs went limp. In minutes, a general weakness and listlessness ensued, and it all culminated in a two-day hospital stay.

While never in a grave condition, she was certainly in much pain. That pain was relieved with an antivenin derived from horse blood, reversing the effects of the toxin. It was remarkable to witness the near instantaneous reversal of visible symptoms when the medicine was administered.

Black widow spiders find habitat in nature in the crevices of sloped rocky soils. They are drawn to the dark voids beneath downed trees, rock piles, or natural rock shelves and overhangs. It’s there that they set up housekeeping in a distinctive web that is easy to identify. A black widow spider lurks in the shelter of shade in a web, waiting on bugs and other spiders to fall into the tangled mess. A “tangle” is perhaps the most apt description of the web — it’s shapeless, just a twisted confused mass of heavy silken fibers up to a foot wide, most often near the ground. There’s no elegance in the design like you find in other spider webs. Black widows possess a bulbous, engorged shiny jetblack abdomen, ornamented with a red hourglass marking, sometimes appearing as two red dots.

PICK-UPPATH/GETTY IMAGES

Prevention is the better medicine than an antivenin. Keeping a clean home and outbuildings free of debris and piles of rotting wood makes your abode less amenable to black widows, as well as unwelcoming to their favored fare. The toxic spider is drawn to undisturbed and cluttered areas in basements and barns.

Black widows certainly have their place in nature; they are best kept there.

leveland native and Hollywood actress Patricia Heaton of Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle once told a joke about pro football coach Paul Brown: “A football player died and went to heaven. He saw a football game in progress and on the sidelines, a man in a tie, coat, and fedora hat watching intently. The football player asked St. Peter, ‘Is that Paul Brown?’ St. Peter responded, ‘No, that’s just God pretending to be Paul Brown.’”

The joke slyly illustrates the enormous impact and legacy Paul Brown had on the game of football. Pre-Brown, it was characterized mostly by brute force, with little intellectual finesse. Brown’s genius for innovation transformed it into the mental and analytical game that it is today.

gridiron great Remembering the man who revolutionized the game of pro football.

BY ALICIA ADAMS; PHOTOS COURTESY OF PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Paul Brown’s death, and his innovations continue to touch almost every aspect of the modern-day sport. “Paul Brown was the pioneer of coaching the game of football as a science,” says former Ohio State University head coach Jim Tressell, now president of Youngstown State University. “Data analytics, meticulous practice planning, playbooks, use of film to study performance — Paul Brown made all of those a part of every coach’s repertoire. It was our study of Paul Brown’s 1942 national champions that gave us the blueprint to become the 2002 national champions.”

John Collins, a member of the Professional Football Researchers Association, takes that a step further: “In my opinion, Paul Brown is one of the greatest football coaches that ever lived, if not the greatest.”

Brown was born in Norwalk in 1908, but grew up in Massillon, where high school football is inextricably woven into the fabric of the history and culture.

As the quarterback for Washington High for two years, he led the Tigers to a 15-3 record. He enrolled at Ohio State, but

when he didn’t make the team there, he transferred to Miami University in Oxford and went 14-3 in his two seasons as starting quarterback.

Brown became head coach at Washington High in 1932 at the age of just 24 and compiled an astonishing 80-8-2 record (not even including a preseason win in 1940 against Kent State University!). After the Tigers’ third consecutive undefeated season in 1940, Brown was hired at Ohio State in 1941 and led the Buckeyes to their first national championship in 1942.

Then the military called. Brown served and coached in the Navy during World War II, and while enlisted, was hired to coach Cleveland’s new professional team that, as a testament to his popularity (but against his wishes), bore his name: the Cleveland Browns. When he was eventually fired by owner Art Modell, Brown went on to co-found the Cincinnati Bengals in 1967.

Brown began revolutionizing the game while still coaching at Massillon. He invented a radical technique that now is commonplace: the playbook. Players learned formations and set plays and were tested on that knowledge. Brown also developed a method of calling plays from the sidelines using hand signals. A strict disciplinarian with the heart of a teacher, Brown made punctuality and attending classes as important as playing the game. He also emphasized nutrition and made sure his teams ate adequate amounts of wholesome foods by arranging meals through the local YMCA.

In a 2015 interview for the documentary Paul Brown: A Football Life, Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots, told the NFL Network, “There is no one in the game that I have more respect for than Paul Brown. Everything that he did as a coach, 50 years later, everybody is still basically doing the same thing.”

It’s the most apt tribute that can be given to a man whose vision and genius were far ahead of their time.

Brown’s innovations Paul Brown deployed almost all of his groundbreaking ideas once he reached the professional level. His accomplishments include: • First to use game film to analyze opponents’ weaknesses and scout for new talent • Helped invent the face guard and the radio headset for the football helmet • First to hire a full-time coaching staff • Instituted a college scouting system that is still in use today • First to implement the sideline telephone system to connect to the coaching staff who had a bird’s-eye view of the game • Developed the 40-yard dash to evaluate the speed and acceleration of players • Originated the taxi squad and the draw play • Created the West Coast Defense (also known as the Ohio River Offense) • Broke the color barrier in professional sports in 1946 by signing on Marion Motley and Bill Willis, a year before Jackie Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers
