UP FRONT

Cardinal rule P

roducing electricity for the benefit of the communities we serve requires a continual balancing act among cost, reliability, and environmental impact. We take those oftencompeting objectives into account as we make decisions and take action.

As you’ll read in our continuing series on power generation on page 4, your primary source of electricity — our Cardinal Power Plant — endures as one of the cleanest facilities of its kind. It’s the result of sustained investment in a plant that helps keep our power supply both reliable and affordable. The benefits that Cardinal brings to cooperative consumer-members has justified the $1.2 billion in eco-friendly investments we’ve made over the years to reduce the plant’s environmental footprint. Electric cooperatives’ decisions regarding the best way to meet your needs for electricity supply are tempered by thoughtful consideration of our responsibility to the nearly 1 million Ohioans whose lives and livelihoods depend upon both a healthy environment and the provision of affordable, reliable electricity. It’s a charge that we don’t take lightly. In fact, power generation is a 24/7/365 exercise that requires us to dependably adjust our output to meet your needs — regardless of the weather, the time of day, or other conditions affecting supply and demand. Most of all, it takes a steadfast commitment to serve the best interests of our consumer-members.

Remember that September Looking back, we remember — as if we could forget — and honor the victims and families of that unimaginable day 20 years ago that forever changed our country and the world. The term “9/11” will be with us for generations, as we continue to observe the day and learn from the tragedy. We honor the memory of Sept. 11, 2001, in our story on page 34 and in our Member Interactive feature on page 44. Never forget.

CLEANER COAL Your co-op’s investment lightens Cardinal Plant’s environmental footprint. BY JODI BORGER

ears ago, if you drove past Cardinal Power Plant, you likely saw a gray cloud emerging from the towers — that color was caused by fly ash and a few other various byproducts of burning coal. Today, the billowing cloud is pure white and nearly all water vapor. It’s a clearly visible indicator of the investments Buckeye Power has made in emissions control equipment, making Cardinal Power Plant one of the cleanest power plants of its kind in the world. Located along the Ohio River in Brilliant, Ohio, Cardinal is Buckeye Power’s baseload source for power generation, meaning it supplies Ohio’s 25 electric cooperatives with

electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s also a main economic driver in the region, providing more than 300 jobs. The coal-fired plant consists of three units: one owned by AEP and two owned by Buckeye Power. All are managed by Buckeye Power.

Good stewards Becoming a clean plant didn’t happen overnight, but Buckeye Power, Cardinal, and Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives are dedicated to providing affordable electricity that’s as environmentally responsible as possible. Years of investment, monitoring, and adapting to changing regulations and requirements brought Cardinal to where it is today and ensures that it can produce electricity for years to come.

“We want this plant to survive, and we want it to remain one of the cleanest power plants in the world,” says Bethany Schunn, Cardinal Operating Company’s plant manager. “We believe we play an important role in keeping the grid reliable and electricity affordable.” The environmental affairs department at OEC constantly monitors and reports data to ensure that the plant complies with or even exceeds environmental standards and regulations. “We work individually and with other utilities, along with Ohio EPA, to find common-sense compliance approaches that protect the environment and are in the best interests of our members,” says Caitlin Schiebel, OEC’s director of environmental affairs.

Reducing emissions One of the first controls to be implemented on all three units at Cardinal was electrostatic precipitators, which remove the fly ash from the exhaust gas stream. Fly ash from burning coal now passes through electrically charged plates, which pull the ash particles out of the stream. When the plates are full, the fly ash is moved to a hopper at the bottom of the plate. The process removes more than 99% of the fly ash particles produced by burning coal.

In the early 2000s, Buckeye Power and AEP added equipment that works much the same way in which an automobile’s catalytic converter removes nitrogen oxide (NOx) from engine exhaust — thereby reducing Cardinal’s NOx emissions by about 90%. Around 2010, Cardinal began attacking another coal-burning byproduct, sulfur dioxide (SO2), which contributed to acid rain. Known as scrubbers, the system is actually a large tank containing a mixture of limestone and water, and it removes over 98% of SO2 from the plant’s emissions. The process to remove SO2 is like blowing bubbles through a straw. The gases are sent to the bottom of the limestone slurry, and as it bubbles up, the calcium in the limestone reacts with the SO2 to form water and gypsum, which is recycled and sold to wallboard companies. “With that process, not only do we eliminate nearly all sulfur dioxide from our emissions,” Schunn says, “but we can make a little money by selling the gypsum and avoid disposing of it in our landfill.”

Mission control Gas emissions are continuously monitored by an automated mission control system, which helps ensure compliance with clean air requirements for SO2, NOx, and carbon dioxide emissions. “We have systems in place that measure air emissions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we complete daily and weekly inspections of Cardinal’s facilities,” Schiebel says. “We submit reports on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis that certify our compliance with regulations.” Depending on the political landscape, environmental regulations continue to get stricter, and at the same time,

technology continues to improve — which combine to constantly set new benchmarks for Buckeye Power to reach. Regardless, plant operators stay transparent. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a small thing or a big environmental issue — we make sure to list everything that happens here,” says Schunn. “We share those events each month to help make ourselves even better.”

Cost of doing business Ohio electric cooperatives have invested more than $1 billion of their members’ money over the past 20 years in systems that minimize Cardinal Plant’s environmental impact. The cooperatives collaborated in the 1960s to build the plant to provide electricity to their members and have made constant, consistent investments in the years since to ensure that Cardinal can reliably provide that power in an environmentally responsible way. “It’s extremely important for the co-ops to make sure that their members’ investment isn’t wasted,” says Pat O’Loughlin, CEO of Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives. “That’s why we need to make sure we do everything we can to keep our largest and most valuable asset doing its job until that investment is paid in full.” Buckeye Power has been working to pay down the debt more quickly in recent years so that it can invest in other power sources — including renewables — as they become cost-effective.

Fresh face A well-known food blogger is excited to serve at the Farm Science Review cooking demo. BY HUNTER GRAFFICE

rom an early age, Jennifer Osterholdt recognized the importance of farming and agriculture. She lived on a livestock and crop farm and participated in 4-H, where she learned to cook. That was the background she took with her to Ohio State University, where she earned degrees in agriculture and business economics. She’s now a marketing consultant who travels the country for her speaking engagements, serves on the local Farm Bureau board, and helps her own kids on their journeys through 4-H. Along the way, Osterholdt realized that there was a lack of both understanding and positive information available about farming and agriculture. So she decided to start a blog dedicated to her life on the farm. Eventually, she began sharing recipes, which she says afforded her the opportunity not only to share her love of cooking with the world, but also to offer that positive information about farming and agriculture. Now she’ll get to share both with a live audience as she serves as the new host of the cooking demonstrations in the Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives building at the 2021 Farm Science Review, Sept. 21–23 at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center near London.

Osterholdt’s blog draws hundreds of thousands of viewers each month. One of the things she emphasizes for her audience is accessibility. “There are a lot of people who have misconceptions about large farms versus small farms, GMOs, and other things, where there is no easy, single answer,” she says. “I know that we have a safe food supply, so I don’t use specific ingredient requirements in the recipes. I want all families to be able to enjoy my recipes and not have to worry about breaking the bank.” She says she’s excited to make the live appearance at Farm Science Review, where she’ll share recipes prepared in air fryers, pressure cookers, and slow cookers. “It’s going to be a lot of fun because there are a lot of people who want to learn about those tools and how to use them,” Osterholdt says. She plans to make air fryer broccoli, crockpot peanut clusters, Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs, and slow cooker pulled pork. She’s also excited simply to connect. “I look forward to just being with people, especially now,” she says. “I love hearing other people’s ideas and recipes and twists that you can put on food and make it into a completely new dish. I’m always looking for recipes for my family and my community, and getting to share them through my website is so special.”

Disappearing act

Where have all the grouse gone? STORY AND PHOTOS BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS

everal successive Ohio winters in the late 1970s were brutal, with temperatures often dipping below zero and heavy snow lasting for months on end. It also happened to be the time when I was attempting to become a ruffed grouse hunter.

A group of friends had invited me to join them at their hunting cabin in the rugged hills of Meigs County to chase those then-abundant gamebirds for a few days. During one of our hunts, I noticed a neat, round, 4-inch-diameter hole in a snowdrift, and a grouse tail feather lying on the surface of the snow beside the hole. Curious but unsure as to what I was seeing, I bent down to pick up the feather and a ruffed grouse exploded from the hole, showering my face with snow. I was too stunned to raise my shotgun and shoot. All I could do was watch the bird whir away, zigzagging around trees. What I had just learned — the hard way — is that ruffed grouse sometimes dive into snowdrifts to roost during severe weather, the insulating quality of their feathers keeping them cozy and warm. Ruffed grouse were plentiful in Ohio during the second half of the 20th century, but no more. Human hunters are not to blame, as their seasonal take of the birds has always been negligible. Rather, it is the bird’s own habitat that is gradually turning against it, and according to the national Ruffed Grouse Society,

10 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2021

that change is taking place across much of the ruffed grouse range — some 18 states — from the upper Midwest to New England, the Mid-Atlantic region, and Appalachia.

“In Ohio, ruffed grouse inhabit the heavily forested eastern and southern counties,” says Mark Wiley, the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s forest gamebird biologist. “It’s about the size of a small chicken, and it prefers young forest habitat that grows after logging, the abandonment of pastures and farmland, or the reclamation of surface mines. Unfortunately, grouse numbers have declined considerably in Ohio since the early 1980s. Ohio’s total forest acreage has increased since that time, but the amount of young forest — prime ruffed grouse habitat — has decreased more than 65%.” Wildlife biologists and foresters call it “succession,” that constant, ongoing, natural transition of forests from seedlings to mid-sized pole timber to mature trees. It’s in the early stages of the process that ruffed grouse populations thrive. But only a small percentage of Ohio is publicly owned, so wildlife managers working to create more grouse habitat on those lands are having only minimal effects on the grouse population. Private landowners, who own 85% of Ohio’s woodlands, must do the majority of the heavy lifting if Ohio’s ruffed grouse population is to be turned around. If you own or control woodland acreage within Ohio’s traditional ruffed grouse range and would like to help, Wiley suggests seeking advice from Ohio’s wildlife and forestry experts. “The ODNR, Division of Wildlife privatelands biologists and Division of Forestry service foresters can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to forest management decisions — and their advice is free,” he says. “They are professionals who will help you understand your property’s potential, identify problems, and develop plans to achieve your management goals.” “Whether you want to improve populations of ruffed grouse, white-tailed deer, bobcats, or songbirds, it’s very likely that the creation of some amount of young forest habitat will be recommended — in other words, the cutting of some mature trees,” he says. “Young forests benefit various species, and is often the missing habitat component in many areas of our state.” Habitat change, while hindering some wildlife species, such as ruffed grouse in this case, often helps others. For instance, two other popular Ohio birds — wild turkeys and pileated woodpeckers — have benefited from the maturing of the Buckeye State’s forests, their populations increasing notably over the past half-century.

If you’d like to hear the drumming of a ruffed grouse, one can be heard on the Ruffed Grouse Society website: www.ruffedgrousesociety.org.

Harvesting timber can help improve ruffed grouse habitat.

Crushing it Midwest Electric members make some dough with an innovative method of processing grain.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARGIE WUEBKER

14 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2021

hris Bihn is a born educator, and while he may have left the classroom, he’s more committed than ever to teaching. These days, his lesson plans involve the production of nutrient-rich and easily digestible food through an innovative process of crushing grain. Bihn, a former high school teacher and a member of St. Marys-based Midwest Electric, heads a family business known as Our Fathers Food, which uses a patented technique for preparing organic grain and seed for human consumption that yields unlimited shelf life without chemicals, preservatives, enrichments, or nutrient loss. Chris’ father, John Bihn, used a background in tooland-die-making, farming, and engineering to design and build the Bihn Incremental Crusher. He received a patent for the machine in 2014, as well as a patent for the actual grain-crushing process three years later. The process is quite different from traditional flour milling, so the younger Bihn often makes it his mission to educate the public about its benefits. He says the innovative technique leaves cells in grains like wheat, corn, oats, flax, buckwheat, and quinoa unbroken — leaving the natural plant oils in the germ unexposed to oxidation and the nutrient breakdown that comes from it.

Chris Bihn uses a machine patented by his father to produce crushed — rather than milled — grains, which don’t require enrichment.

Traditional flour milling involves cutting and heating wheat — steps that curtail a certain amount of the nutritional value. The resulting flour is usually then enriched to restore lost nutrients. “Whatever God puts in grain, we keep it in,” Bihn says. “We don’t take anything out, so we don’t have to put anything back.” Bihn is quick to point out, however, that the company’s whole-cell crushed products can’t be defined as “flour” in accordance with Department of Agriculture guidelines. Instead, they’re labeled by the amount of particles they contain. For instance, the crushed wheat No. 1 has the finest texture, and is a 1:1 replacement for traditional flour. Numbers 2, 3, and 4 contain increasing levels of density and sizes of particles. “My wife, Amy, hasn’t had a bag of traditional flour in the house for at least 10 years,” Bihn says. “She uses our whole-cell crushed products in everything from bread to cookies to noodles.” The family often hosts informational programs as a means of introducing prospective customers to the Our Fathers Food product line — they find that providing samples of bread and cookies usually satisfies any curiosity about taste and texture. They also bring products to the weekly farmers market at the Mercer County Fairgrounds in Celina. Bihn says the majority of the company’s clients are people who want to eat healthy food and those who

deal with health issues like high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, digestive problems, and allergies. He cites Johnson and Wales University food scientist Paula Figoni, who says in her book How Baking Works that when wheat cells are not destroyed, the proteins cannot form gluten. “We have never claimed our bread is gluten free,” Bihn says. “However, we talk to people who are gluten intolerant who report having no problems after eating it.” The Bihns also give crushed grain to their livestock, but they have not pursued the marketing of animal feed. Their goal is to reach people in search of quality food products without additives. “We all need to eat better to feel better,” he says. “That’s what I’m teaching these days.”

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO COOKIES Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes | Servings: 24 1 cup flour, spooned and leveled ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon espresso powder 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon coarse salt 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips Note: Finely ground espresso or dark-roast coffee can be substituted for the espresso powder. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside a half cup of the chocolate chips. Place remaining chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and microwave 20 to 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until almost melted, then stirring one last time. Set melted chocolate aside to cool. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Continue beating while adding eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Top each cookie with some of the remaining chocolate chips. Bake approximately 13 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are dry and tops are cracked. Let stand 3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

RED-EYE GRAVY AND HAM Prep: 5 minutes | Cook: 10 minutes | Servings: 4 1 pound thick sliced ham ¼ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter or ¼ teaspoon black pepper bacon grease 1/8 teaspoon sugar 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup good-quality brewed coffee Red-eye gravy and ham goes equally well with biscuits, grits, cornbread, or hash browns. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ham on both sides with the butter or bacon grease, about 2 minutes per side. Remove ham and set aside. Turn heat to medium-low and whisk flour into the remaining butter/grease left over in the skillet and brown into a roux, about 2 to 3 minutes, until flour begins to smell nutty. Slowly pour coffee into the pan, whisking constantly. Gravy will begin to thicken. Whisk in salt, black pepper, and sugar, adjusting to taste. If gravy becomes too thick, thin it out with a tablespoon of water at a time until desired thickness is achieved. Serve gravy with the ham slices and your favorite breakfast items.

MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Unplug with meaningful

community programs

ost adults have a vague memory of a time when “checking for messages” meant listening to an answering machine. We carried on with our days without relying on cellphones and managed just fine. But today, we are more connected than ever through our smartphones and other devices. Our phones are so much more now — from cameras to calendars to social media connections — and truly disconnecting from them can be tough. But it’s even harder for our kids to unplug because they only know life with these tiny screens. It’s difficult for them to imagine life without computers, gaming devices, tablets, or cellphones. But there’s great value in unplugging for children and adults, even if it’s for just a short period of time. For kids, time away from the screen to be outside with other children allows them to connect with nature and others in a way that a virtual experience simply does not allow. They are able to experience life in the moment and allow their creativity and energy to break free. Fortunately, we have access to great community programs and organizations like 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and FFA that provide children and teens with a safe place to play, learn, and grow, while cultivating new skills and interests.

These types of clubs and programs offer kids an opportunity to explore activities and interests outside of Brian Hill school academics. Children can GENERAL MANAGER/CEO investigate areas they might not otherwise have access to and discover new interests and passions. They often learn new skills and strengthen existing ones. It’s no secret that the broader the range of experiences and activities children are exposed to, the more likely they are to find their own path and possibly a career. Community programs also foster important leadership development and public speaking skills. Through guided and informal play and activities, children learn problemsolving and interpersonal skills that enable them to resolve conflicts peacefully and improve interpersonal relationships. Adults can also find meaningful opportunities to spend time with the kids when we all unplug. From board games to craft projects to playing in the park, there are many ways we can unplug for some family fun. While you and your children are disconnecting, take a moment to identify potential energy savings. Unplug electronics that are not in use to avoid “vampire” energy loss. This is the energy that is drained from technology and electronics even when they are not in use. For example, although it is turned off, your TV is waiting to receive a signal from the remote and your DVR is waiting to record the next show or perform an update. Let’s encourage youngsters to step away from the screens to play and be part of an organization that helps them connect with others and find meaningful interactions and explore new activities and interests. When you do plug back in, Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative is here to help you save money and energy by connecting you with our energy-saving programs and services. While we’d love to see you in person, we’re also just a call or click away.

The Ford F150 Lightning is changing minds across America about what an electric vehicle can do. In fact, Ford declared this is their best truck to date — not best electric vehicle, but best truck, period.

Ray Crock

lectric SUVs are available now and pickups will be E soon. This development has been anticipated for years. Electric vehicle (EV) sales are about 24 times higher than they were 10 years ago, with several factors driving demand:

• The instant torque from electric motors boosts acceleration. • The low center of gravity improves handling and reduces rollover risk. • The superior traction control of electric motors can increase off-road capability and safety in winter. • The upfront cost of an EV purchase is now more competitive with similar internal combustion models, and most EVs qualify for a federal tax credit. • The cheaper operating fuel cost per mile (for electricity) compared to gasoline or diesel is another attractive feature for drivers. Ford’s electric F150 Lightning is scheduled to arrive in spring 2022, starting under $40,000 for the commercial trim package (230-mile range model). A 300+ mile battery is an option, and all models are four-wheeldrive with respectable towing and payload capacities. The Lightning is also equipped to provide 9.6 kW of home backup power or portable power for a job site. Tesla has more than a million preorders for their new Cybertruck, which will likely arrive in 2022. The 250-mile-range, two-wheel-drive model starts under $40,000 and steps up to $50,000 for the 300-mile range four-wheel-drive model. Tesla plans to offer a 500+ mile range version for $70,000 that can tow more than 14,000 pounds. GMC has announced a late 2021 release of an electric Hummer with 1,000 horsepower and additional features for off-road performance. Rivian, a startup backed by billions of dollars from Ford and Amazon, is planning to unveil their R1T electric pickup later this year. Crossover SUVs (CUVs) are one of the most popular types of vehicles, and a number of manufacturers say they’ll have electric models available soon. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E is available now with a range up to 305 miles, starting at $45,000. Volkswagen’s ID4 CUV starts at $40,000 and is available with all-wheel-drive options. More electric SUVs are coming, including Rivian’s R1S, Nissan’s Ariya, and Volkswagen’s six-passenger ID6. 22 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2021

Tesla is expected to make the Cybertruck available by early 2022.

And it’s not just vehicles that are shifting to electric. Electric snow machines and jet skis are arriving soon. Even large construction equipment like excavators, backhoes, and heavy-duty trucks will have electrically fueled models. One remaining hurdle for increased EV adoption in rural areas is fast, sufficient charging for longer trips. Most EV owners charge at home, but more fastcharge stations on rural highways will be helpful. If you’re interested in an EV, call our office. We can discuss your charging options as well as your electricity needs with your new vehicle.

Official notice of medical certification Medical certification forms are available upon request at the Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative, Inc. office for those persons who must certify that disconnection of electric service would make the operation of necessary medical equipment impossible or impractical or that such discontinuation of electric service would otherwise be dangerous to the health and welfare of persons residing in the household. Lorem ipsum

In all cases where discontinuation of service would be especially dangerous to life and welfare of the occupants within a household, the consumer should contact the cooperative and request a medical certification form. This form must then be completed and certified by a licensed physician or local board of health and filed with the cooperative.

OFFICIAL NOTICE Certification of Active Duty Deployment Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative, Inc. The cooperative will not disconnect electric service to the residential premises of any residential member who is deployed on active duty for nonpayment for electricity provided to the residential premises.

“Active duty” means active duty pursuant to an executive order of the president of the United States, an act of the Congress of the United States, or section 5919.29 or 5923.21 of the Ohio Revised Code.

Upon return of the residential member from active duty, the cooperative will offer the residential member a period equal to at least the period of deployment on active duty to pay any arrearages incurred during the period of deployment. If the period the cooperative offers the residential member for repayment presents a hardship, the member may request a longer period to repay the arrearages. No late payment fees or interest will be charged to the residential member during the period of deployment or the repayment period.

The residential member must resume the timely payment of all charges for electric service provided by the cooperative after the return from active duty deployment. In order to avoid disconnection of electric service for nonpayment for electric service during a period of active duty deployment, a completed Certification of Active Duty Deployment form must be submitted to the cooperative. Certification of Active Duty Deployment forms are available from the cooperative upon request.

The Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative office will be closed on Monday, Sept. 6, so that our employees and their families can celebrate Labor Day. For outage assistance, call 800-521-9879. We wish you a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!

Superfan Buckeyeman Larry Lokai is equally well known as a Buckeye fan and as a stalwart of Ohio agriculture. BY VICKI JOHNSON; PHOTOS COURTESY OF MICHAEL BIRT/MB IMAGES

etween Ohio State University football and agriculture education, Urbana resident Larry Lokai has been wholeheartedly living his passion for 23 years.

When the pandemic called an 11-month halt to his attending football games and making myriad public appearances, the 79-year-old icon — also known as Buckeyeman — says he felt like a part of him was missing. “I don’t feel complete,” he says. “I guess that’s the best way to say it.” So as restrictions eased in late spring and early summer, Lokai eased himself back into the game. He donned his trademark scarlet-and-gray wig, painted face, and strings of buckeyes and began making a few personal appearances.

26 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • AUGUST SEPTEMBER 2021 2021

Now, as football season approaches, he’s ready to go allin and plans to be there once again — a favorite of both fans and television cameras at the games.

Ohio’s 88 counties as well as in several neighboring states and as far away as California. Even during the pandemic, he judged at 21 county fairs.

Along with the hair and face paint, Lokai’s Buckeyeman is best known for handing out buckeyes, the fruit of the Ohio buckeye tree. As he’s expanded the role, he says he’s handed out more than 1.8 million of them.

“I can go to any county in Ohio and know somebody,” he says.

“Every student who’s come through orientation since 2002 on the main campus has received a buckeye from me,” he says. More recently, he’s also begun giving the nuts to new students at the Mansfield and Marion branches. In addition, he’s given away 1,800 buckeye tree seedlings in the last 16 years, all of which he grew in his yard — though that portion of the Buckeyeman legacy ended last year. “I gave up trying to keep up with Johnny Appleseed,” Lokai says.

Agriculture tradition Buckeyeman is much more than a superfan at football games; his reach extends far into the community. Those trademark buckeyes are in fact more of an outgrowth of his agriculture background than a product of his fandom. After earning his bachelor’s (1967) and master’s (1973) degrees from Ohio State, Lokai taught agriculture for 30 years before he retired in 1997. He also was a 4-H advisor and taught hunter education for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife for 25 years.

In 2016, Lokai was honored by OSU’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences with its Distinguished Alumni Award. Through his youth work, Lokai carries over his buckeye tradition, giving away buckeyes.

Birth of Buckeyeman Huge quantities of buckeyes weren’t on Lokai’s mind when he first donned his “uniform.” Buckeyeman was born in 1998 when Lokai scored tickets to the Ohio State-Michigan game right behind the Michigan bench. He decided to go ultra-Ohio State with face paint and a wig. His alter ego got a boost in 2000 when he finished third in a Halls Cough Drops national contest to find the loudest college football fan, and by 2015, he was honored as the NCAA Fan of the Year. Buckeyeman wears four strings of 42 buckeyes each around his neck — one string for each of his children who graduated from Ohio State and 42 because he was born in 1942.

After his retirement — during the same years Buckeyeman arrived on the football scene — Lokai began a new ag career.

In the early days, Lokai said he would rise at 4 a.m. and put on his face paint and costume. “By 6 a.m., I was at Bob Evans for breakfast, and I’d be at the stadium by 6:30 or 7,” he says. “The last few years, I’ve slept in until 5.”

In 1998, he returned to Ohio State as coach of the poultry judging team for three years. In 2002, he returned to consulting with high school ag teams, and when his grandchildren started entering high school, he started working with their ag contest teams.

Another change came eight years ago when Lokai gave up boards and committees to focus on youth activities and Buckeyeman appearances — including his 10-year seat on the Urbana City Council, state and county retired teachers associations, and others.

When his son started teaching ag education in 2013, Lokai decided that instead of competing against him, he’d help with his son’s teams instead. That, in turn, led to working with teams from more high schools.

“I started counting up the meetings,” he says. “By the time I got done, I got out of seven organizations. I had 80 fewer meetings a year in 2014. In January 2014, the sun came up exactly the same.”

Today, he continues to consult with FFA contest teams, and in 2019, four of the teams he worked with took the top four places in state competition. He also judges youth projects at county fairs. To date, he has judged poultry shows in 84 of

As fans gear up for this fall’s season of Ohio State football, Lokai looks forward to returning to his place as a superfan for his 24th year.“I’d like to go to 90 at least,” he says. “I’ll do it until it stops being fun.”

With a name like … Celebrate 100 years of Smucker’s with a trip to the J.M. Smucker Co. store and café. STORY AND PHOTOS BY DAMAINE VONADA

henever merchandise manager Kate Fox welcomes tour bus groups to the J.M. Smucker Co. store and café, she asks visitors to guess Smucker’s first product. “Everyone always answers, ‘strawberry preserves,’” says Fox, “but the company actually started with apple butter.”

30 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2021

Located near U.S. 30, the store sits along a rural road in Wayne County just minutes away from the J.M. Smucker Company’s headquarters in Orrville. The town’s population is less than 10,000, yet it’s home to a Fortune 500 corporation with some 7,000 employees who work in offices and manufacturing facilities spread from Quebec to California. Why Orrville? In 1897, local farmer Jerome Monroe Smucker opened a cider mill there and began making apple butter from concentrated cider. It’s believed Smucker used apples that originated from trees that had been planted decades before in the area by none other than Jonathan “Johnny Appleseed” Chapman himself. Smucker priced his cider apple butter at 25 cents per half-gallon and sold it in clay crocks from a horse-drawn wagon. The crock’s paper caps were tied with string, and Smucker guaranteed his apple butter’s quality and freshness by hand-signing each cap. Of course, Smucker’s cider apple butter and other fruit spreads now come in glass jars instead of crocks, but Fox points out that in a way, the company’s founder is still vouching for his namesake products. “A replica of J.M. Smucker’s signature is embossed on every jar,” she says. While more than 1,500 jelly jars were used to create the store’s two most eye-catching features — a strawberry chandelier (strawberry jam and mint jelly) and a rainbow-colored wall of jam (blueberry, pineapple, and cherry) — customers are often surprised to find considerably more than jams and jellies on the shelves. Indeed, in the hundred years since Smucker incorporated his apple butter business in 1921, the company has grown into a behemoth of brand-name foods consumed not only by people but also by their pets. Its products, which can be found in 90% of the nation’s homes, include the top brands in fruit spreads (Smucker’s), peanut butter (Jif), dog treats (Milk Bone), and coffee (Folgers). A unique shopping experience, the store showcases products from the company’s family of brands and offers a tastefully curated selection of related culinary and lifestyle merchandise. Go to the store’s pet section, for example, and you’ll find collars, leashes, and cat-opoly games displayed among the bags of Meow Mix and Rachael Ray Nutrish morsels and treats. Head to the coffee department for coffee makers and milk frothers as well as Café Bustelo whole beans and 1850 espresso in ready-to-drink cans. Fun PB&J socks that pair images of Smucker’s Concord Grape Jelly and Jif Creamy Peanut Butter are one of the store’s best sellers, but its most popular food item is Dickinson’s Sweet ‘n’ Hot Pepper & Onion Relish. Of course, the store also carries apple butter, which is still made with the same ingredients J.M. Smucker used. Look for it below the wall of jam, among the hundreds of jars of fruit spreads with the trademark gingham-patterned lids (tip: the cider apple butter lids are brown and white). Another surprise for shoppers is that the store doubles as a museum. Two walls of exhibits chronicle the company’s enterprising journey from unknown cider mill to household name, with the Smucker family at the helm through five generations of innovations, acquisitions, and adapting product lines to changing times. With the family’s history and the company’s corporate heritage so strongly intertwined, it’s certainly fitting that Smucker’s Tomato Ketchup is the one product sold exclusively at the store and its online counterpart (https://shop.smucker.com). The ketchup is made from a Smucker family recipe, and its old-fashioned, slightly sweet flavor has garnered quite a following. “People come and buy that ketchup by the case,” The J.M. Smucker Co. store is open 9 a.m. says Fox, “and if the store runs out, they get upset.” to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For

Doctor urges seniors to get new medical alert device Seniors snap up new medical alert device that comes with no monthly bills People don’t always do what their doctor says, but when seasoned veteran emergency room physician, Dr. Philip B. How ren says every senior should have a medical alert device, you better listen up. “Seniors a re just one fall away from being put in a nursing home,” Dr. Howren said. “With a medical alert device, seniors are never alone. So it keeps them living independently in their own home. T h at ’s why seniors and their

family members are snapping up a sleek new medical alert device that comes with no monthly bills ever,” he said. Many seniors refuse to wear old style help buttons because they make them look old. But even worse, those medical alert systems come with monthly bills. To solve these problems Universal Physicians, a U.S. company, went to work to develop a new, modern, state-of-the-art medical alert device. It’s called “FastHelp™” and

No contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills ever

The only device that makes you look important, not old

FastHelp is the only Medical Alert device that won’t break the bank. That’s because it comes with no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills ever – which makes FastHelp a great choice for seniors, students and professionals because it connects to one of the largest nationwide networks everywhere cell service is available for free. And here’s the best part. All those who already have an old style monitored medical alert button can immediately eliminate those monthly bills, which is why Un iver s a l Physicians is widely advertising this announcement nationwide. So if you’ve ever felt a medical alert device was too complicated or expensive, you’ll want to get FastHelp, the

The problem with medical alert devices is, nobody wa nts to wea r them because it makes them look old. Well, that’s not the case with FastHelp. That’s because it’s the first state of the art medical alert dev ice desig ned to make you look important, not old. Old st yle mon it ored help buttons you wear around your neck, or require expensive base station equ ipment or a landline are the e q u iva lent of a horse and buggy, it’s just outdated. Millions of seniors fall every year and spend hours lying on the floor helpless and all alone with no help. But seniors who fall and get immediate help are much more likely to avoid getting sent to a nu rs ing home and get

sleek new medical alert device with no monthly bills. The medical alert device slugfest was dominated by two main combatants who both offer old style monitored help buttons that come with a hefty bill every month. But now Universal Physicia ns, the U.S. based heavyweight, just delivered a knockout blow sending the top rated contenders to the mat with the unveiling of FastHelp. It’s the sleek new cellular embedded medical alert device that cuts out the middleman by instantly con necting you directly to highly trained 911 operators all across the U.S. There’s absolutely nothing to hook-up or install. You don’t need a land line and you don’t need a cell phone. Everything is done for you. ■

Memorials throughout the state recall the horror and honor the heroism of Sept. 11, 2001. BY DAMAINE VONADA

34 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2021

The day that changed the nation

t the Tiffin Police and Fire All Patriots Memorial, a daylong observance occurs on each anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. The ceremonies always begin at 8:46 a.m., the time hijackers flew the first plane into the World Trade Center, but memorial committee secretary Jill Gosche always gets there well early.

“I always go early to help lower the flags to half-staff and shine up the memorial’s granite,” Gosche says. “I feel that the site needs to be top-notch and kept clean out of respect for those who gave so much on 9/11.” The Tiffin memorial’s centerpiece is a 17.5-foot-long steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center. It weighs more than 3 tons and rests on a pentagonshaped piece of granite that alludes to the strike on America’s military headquarters. Positioned at an angle of 9.11 degrees, the beam sits low to the ground so people can touch it. “When rust particles drop off that beam, they almost seem like tears,” observes Gosche. Someone once tucked a single red rose into the beam, and that poignant gesture inspired the cover photo of the book Gosche wrote — If the Beam Could Talk — about 9/11 and the effort Tiffin residents put into creating a memorial to both the thousands of lives lost that day and local first responders. Her intention was to ensure that future generations would forget neither the deaths nor the destruction in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. “Every American was affected by 9/11,” Gosche says. “We all felt the attacks that day.” Sept. 11 memorials exist throughout the state. Like Tiffin’s, many of those places of remembrance display pieces of wreckage obtained by everyday Ohioans who were and are dedicated to preserving them as historic artifacts and evidence of the attacks. Each one, however, pays tribute to the heartbreak and heroism of that dreadful day. With 9/11’s 20th anniversary occurring this month, here is a selection of some of Ohio’s memorials.

9/11 Memorial Alliance’s former safety-service director, W. John Gross, spearheaded one of the nation’s most unusual memorials, which was inspired by an American flag planted on mutilated pieces of the twin towers’ aluminum “skin.” Instead of structural steel, it showcases aluminum panels that were salvaged from the debris and installed in a park in the same north-andsouth orientation as the twin towers. www.cityofalliance.com/381/ 911-Memorial

Austintown

9/11 Memorial Park Visitors follow paths to two twisted beams from the World Trade Center, stone from the Pentagon’s rubble, and an urn containing earth from Shanksville’s crash site. Inscribed with the words “Let’s Roll,” the urn’s pedestal recalls the famous words of Todd Beamer, one of the passengers who confronted United Flight 93’s hijackers. www.youngstownlive.com/ attraction/9-11-memorial-park

Beavercreek 9/11 Memorial

A mangled piece of steel once located between the north tower’s 101st and 105th floors now punctuates the memorial at Beavercreek Station bike trail hub. The 25-foot-tall relic is surrounded by panels that display a 9/11 timeline and the names of all who died. www.beavercreekohio.gov/709/ 911-Memorial

Columbus

Ohio Statehouse Flag Display For 9/11’s 20th anniversary, volunteers will place 2,977 American flags — one for every person killed — on the Ohio Statehouse’s west lawn in a pattern that signifies a pentagon-shaped open space surrounded by the twin towers. Between the stylized towers, a strip of grass represents Flight 93’s crash in Shanksville. www.ohiostatehouse.org

9/11 Collection at the Motts Military Museum “When they see the fire truck, I’ve had people cry or step back because it’s such a powerful statement about 9/11,” says Warren Motts, founding director of the Motts Military Museum. Crushed during the north tower’s collapse, the truck is the crumpled remains of the New York Fire Department’s Ladder 18 and the crown jewel of the museum’s considerable collection of 9/11 artifacts. Pending construction of a new wing, the fire engine is housed in a storage building that Motts opens to visitors on Thursdays at 10 a.m. www.mottsmilitarymuseum.org

First Responders Park At a handsome park in the heart of Hilliard, tons of contorted steel from the World Trade Center contrast with sleek, black granite walls engraved with the names of those who perished on 9/11.
