It is a bittersweet milestone for me. I’ve been at Buckeye Power for about 20 years now, and the partnership with AEP has been central to our work and our business planning. However, as things change, our companies need to evolve to meet the needs of the future. I know this is the right step for both organizations, and I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Buckeye Power and Cardinal. AEP will continue to supply transmission and power delivery services to Buckeye Power after our Cardinal plant partnership winds down. On behalf of Buckeye Power and Ohio’s electric cooperatives, I would like to personally thank the many leaders at AEP who helped us forge and sustain a successful partnership over the many decades. Both organizations have a bright future ahead — they will just be along different paths.
uckeye Power has been the generation and transmission supplier to Ohio’s electric cooperatives since 1968, producing electricity from power plants and delivering it across the high-voltage transmission network (or “grid”) to each of those 24 electric cooperatives. Throughout this long history, American Electric Power (AEP) has been a partner to Buckeye Power in the generation of electricity — first only at Cardinal Power Plant, but adding more facilities as time went on. It has been a unique and mutually beneficial partnership for over 50 years, lasting through advances in technology, ups and downs of the economy, and nearly constant evolution of laws and regulations. Recently, though, Buckeye Power and AEP agreed to wind down our partnership at Cardinal. AEP has already largely exited the power generation business in Ohio, meaning other producers now supply generation service to AEP’s Ohio customers. We plan to continue working together through 2028, with Buckeye Power supplying a portion of the output from Cardinal to AEP during that time. Buckeye plans to continue operations at the Cardinal plant at a reduced level after that.

Intro -toline work
Brothers Tim (left) and Mike Taylor both knew from a young age that they wanted to be electric lineworkers. Both got an up-close look at the profession at an Ohio Farm Bureau ExploreAg event at the Central Ohio Lineworker Training Facility in Mount Gilead.
ExploreAg is Ohio Farm Bureau’s signature agricultural literacy and workforce development program. The majority of its offerings, which are free, are week- and weekend-long immersion camps for high school students.
Knowing his assessment was to be given at the same facility (which is owned and operated by Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives), Mike decided to tag along and do a little scouting; surely it couldn’t hurt his chances of doing well on the assessment — and he was right. He was hired on shortly thereafter at PPEC, where he’s now in the second year of an apprenticeship that leads to journeyman status. Tim made good use of that day as well and is now a lineworker with American Electric Power. “I’d like to think we had a hand in getting them both started,” says Kyle Hoffman, coordinator of the COLT program for OEC. “As a participant, Timmy really got an up-close look at the job — it let him confirm it was what he wanted to do — and even though Mike only attended as a spectator, ExploreAg helped him gain a solid understanding of what was ahead to get hired at PPEC.”
Teens get a broad-spectrum look at agriculture and related STEM fields, develop their leadership and collaboration skills, and prepare for college and/or a career.
Mike Taylor was a few days away from a scheduled pre-hire lineworker assessment at Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative when his little brother, Tim, attended an Ohio Farm Bureau ExploreAg one-day program at the Central Ohio Lineworker Training facility in Mount Gilead.

There’s a huge need for people in that line of work, and this is a great opportunity for anyone who thinks they might be interested to come in and find out what it’s all about. “ ”
“We do a lot of these one-day experiences that focus on a specific area, and they’ve been really popular,” says Jana Mussard, ag literacy specialist with the Ohio Farm Bureau. “We’re particularly excited about the one we have coming up at COLT — the first one was such a huge success, and we’ve only seen more interest in this one. Obviously, there’s a huge need for people in that line of work, and this is a great opportunity for anyone who thinks they might be interested to come in and find out what it’s all about.”
The program at COLT includes hands-on demonstrations of some of the basics of line work: climbing utility poles, riding in the bucket of a bucket truck, building cross-arms, electrical basics — with a stress on safety. Participants will even get a look at other electric cooperative careers, such as energy advising.
“We got to talk to multiple linemen who have worked in the trade for a long time at Ag Day,” Tim Taylor told Our Ohio magazine. “It was really cool to sit and talk with them, as well as people from different departments, to see the wide variety of what’s out there.”

Along with the broad-spectrum camps, the farm bureau also has expanded its ExploreAg offerings with one-day camps such as the one at COLT where the Taylor brothers cemented their path toward electrical line work. COLT will host another ExploreAg Day Oct. 15, with room for double the number of participants as the last event.
Attendees at the ExploreAg event at COLT will, among other things, get a lift in a bucket truck. COLT director Kyle Hoffman (below) designed the event to appeal to anyone considering a career in line work.

“While many attending Farm Science Review this year will not remember farming as it was 60 years ago, we hope this is a year to reflect on how much the industry has advanced,” says Nick Zachrich, FSR manager, noting that this year’s review will include examples of farm equipment from the 1960s alongside cutting-edge equipment to highlight advances in technology that have shaped the industry.
Ohio’s electric cooperatives have had a presence at the review for nearly its entire 60-year run. For years, the co-ops erected a giant tent on the grounds and set up educational displays to showcase the latest advances in energy efficiency, safety, and renewables as well as how electricity brings convenience to the modern world. The cooking demonstrations that are so popular, in fact, were first devised as a way to teach farm families about microwave ovens when that technology was cuttingedge (this year’s demonstration, by food-blogger Jennifer
As the Farm Science Review celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, the state’s premier agricultural education and industry event will both highlight its own history and keep its focus on educating for the future.
Ohio electric cooperative members can enter to win a $100 bill credit by completing the entry form on the inside back cover of their September issue of Ohio Cooperative Living and bringing it to the OEC building at Farm Science Review.
Co-ops connect with their members at the OEC education building at the annual Farm Science Review.
Visitors to the Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives education building on the far east side of the review exhibition area will find energy-saving tips, cooking demonstrations, and free popcorn.

Hours for Farm Science Review are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 20–21 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 22. Tickets are $10 online, at county offices of OSU Extension, and at participating agribusinesses and $15 at the gate. Children ages 5 and under are admitted free.
Farm Science Review attracts upward of 140,000 visitors annually from all over the United States and Canada to the Molly Caren Agricultural Center. The review includes a 100-acre exhibit area with 4,000 product lines from 600 commercial exhibitors. FSR also dedicates over 600 acres of land for field demonstrations, tillage, nutrient and lime applications, and drainage installations.
“Being a part of the Farm Science Review lets us fulfill several important parts of our cooperative mission,” says Ted Reithman, marketing and energy use specialist at Pioneer Electric Cooperative in Piqua. “It’s right there in our principles that we value education and we have concern for our community. Being part of this event gives us the opportunity to engage with so many of our members and helps us live those principles.”

Around 200 elk are home on the range at Dave Flory’s Quiet Harmony Ranch in the rolling Preble County hills. Flory, a retired entrepreneur who established — and later sold — a nationally known swine-breeding business, located the ranch on 185 acres of land served by Darke Rural Electric Cooperative. His mission is to work in harmony to produce unique farm products while providing a place for families to come, learn, and enjoy.
Quiet Harmony Ranch is home to several hundred roaming elk.
His fascination with elk is a result of thinking out of the box and a desire to remain involved in animal husbandry after he got out of the swine business. He established the ranch in 2015, and opened it as a business a few years later.
CO-OP PEOPLE
Females weigh an average of 650 pounds, full-grown males around 1,000 pounds. They are natural browsers, chomping on tree branches, bark, grass, and dead leaves. Hay, grain, and minerals supplement their diets. Their bodies can withstand temperatures down to -20 F; when it’s hot and humid, they can head to nearby ponds. Elk came to the United States centuries ago, traveling from Asia across the Bering Strait — a land bridge to Alaska. They eventually spread throughout the country, some settling in southwest Ohio and the Great Black Swamp area in the northwest part of the state. Although very much

in evidence when Ohio gained statehood in 1803, they disappeared by 1838 due to hunting and migration.
“The only ones still in Ohio are on farms and ranches like this one,” Flory says. Quiet Harmony Ranch places elk into wildlife reintroduction projects and sells stock for breeding purposes to other elk breeders.
People also have rediscovered the nutritional value of elk meat — low in fat, low in cholesterol, and high in protein, according to Flory. Although the meat resembles beef, there is less marbling. Quiet Harmony Ranch harvested 27 elk for meat purposes last year — the majority was sold in the trading post. Available cuts include ribeye steaks, New York strips, roasts, patties, and bacon cheeseburgers in vacuum-sealed packages. Elk meat also goes into summer sausage, meat sticks, and jerky of various flavors. Homemade fudge in 30 flavors, unique gifts, T-shirts, and souvenirs round out store offerings. Hungry visitors often head to the food cabin for elk BBQ on homemade buns, side dishes, and a variety of ice cream desserts. Kids’ attractions include twin tailspin slides, a pedal car racetrack, Intelli-Maze, a giant sandbox, and timed basketball shootout courts.
Elk antlers and bones were once used as tools in bygone days; rib bones even served as runners on primitive sleds. Today, velvet antlers are used in nutritional supplements for both people and animals, while hard antler often becomes chews for dogs, knife handles, or rustic furnishings.
Quiet Harmony Ranch, 10684 Morrison-Mikesell Road, New Paris, OH 45347. Open from June through October on Fridays and Saturdays. The trading post is open year-round on Fridays and Saturdays. For more information, including hours and prices, visit www.quietharmonyranch.com or call 937-437-7777.

Feathers from some birds, such as the great egret, were in such demand by the millinery trade that they were worth twice their weight in gold.
www.ohiocoopliving.com
SEPTEMBER 2022 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING 13
Arguably once the most common bird on earth, it was pushed into extinction; the last individual, Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. But this is not a retelling of that sad story. Rather, it’s a tale of how several once-persecuted species were rescued from oblivion and are thriving once more. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, bird feathers were the fashion fad in the millinery — hatmaking — trade. Some feathers, especially plumes from great egrets and snowy egrets, were in such demand that they were literally worth twice their weight in gold. During the 1890s alone, it’s estimated that 5 million birds were killed annually for their feathers. To make matters worse, those birds were taken almost exclusively during the breeding season, their eggs left to rot or their hatchlings to starve and die. Smaller species of wild birds at the time didn’t fare much better. For instance, on two afternoons in 1886 in New York City — on 14th Street in Manhattan, to be exact — ornithologist Frank Chapman began counting the number of dead birds adorning women’s hats, and tabulated 39 species and 173 individual birds. These weren’t just feathers, mind you, but the entire preserved birds themselves: game birds, grebes, shorebirds, woodpeckers, songbirds, even an owl! Help eventually came from an unlikely source. In 1886, George Bird Grinnell (yes, “Bird” was his real middle name), the editor of Forest and Stream, a hunting, fishing, and outdoors magazine, founded the first Audubon Society. Although the fledgling organization attained a membership of nearly 50,000, it eventually folded. But it wasn’t the end. Two women, Harriet Hemenway and Minna B. Hall of Massachusetts, resurrected the idea in 1896, with the goal of persuading ladies not to wear feathered hats. This time the organization succeeded, and Audubon societies spread to many states. To add teeth to its beliefs, in 1902, the Florida Audubon Society hired a warden, Guy Bradley, to patrol Florida’s Gulf Coast and discourage illegal plume hunting. A reformed plume hunter himself (it takes one to catch one, right?), Bradley was shot and killed in 1905 by poachers he was attempting to arrest. Two more Florida wardens died in the line of duty in 1908. These men did not die in vain, however. Public pressure gradually changed attitudes, and women eventually drifted away from wearing birds as fashion. In addition, two important pieces of legislation were passed to protect wild birds and other wildlife: the Lacey Act of 1900 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, both of which are still in effect today.
But lest you think it was just Americans persecuting wild birds years ago in the name of fashion, consider this ornithological fact: Hummingbirds were once made into jewelry. During the 19th century, millions of hummingbird skins, with their brilliant feathers attached, were shipped from South America and the West Indies to European markets, where they were manufactured into pins, brooches, and other fashion accessories. One London dealer alone imported more than 400,000 hummingbird skins in one year!

Sometimes, it’s good to remember just how far we’ve come in wildlife Throughoutconservation.the history of North America, numerous wild bird species have faced decimation by humans — the passenger pigeon being the most egregious example.
An interesting side note concerning hummingbirds is that Anna’s hummingbird — a species not seen in Ohio — was named for the wife of Prince François Victor Massena, Duc de Rivoli of France. An amateur ornithologist, the prince seemed to know a thing or two about hummingbirds; his collection of 12,000 specimens was eventually sold to the Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia.
A positive change that resulted from that dark era for wild birds more than a century ago was the creation of the U.S. National Wildlife Refuge System — a total of 568 sanctuaries located at strategic places along our nation’s four major flyways. The refuges today provide safe havens for birds to rest and feed during Inmigration.Ohio,those places include Ottawa, Cedar Point, and West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuges, located along or near the southwest shoreline of Lake Erie.

On a large, oven-safe tray, spread out half of the kettle chips. Pour some of the sauce across the chips, then top with some of the remaining crumbled blue cheese. Repeat with the rest of the chips, more sauce, and the remaining blue cheese (if you end up with extra sauce, eat it over pasta!). Turn oven to broil. Heat until cheese is melted and the edges begin to turn golden brown. These will heat up fast, so check every minute to prevent burning. Sprinkle with scallions and serve immediately.

• Microchip your pet and ensure the contact information is up to date.
Severe weather events occur unexpectedly. Sometimes a weather report will indicate a heightened chance for conditions conducive to damage, but there’s no way to know if your home will be directly in the path of severe weather or if you’ll be lucky this time around. That’s why it’s important to be prepared. During a prolonged power outage or other emergency, this means having enough food, water, and supplies to last at least a few days.
• Bring pets indoors at the first sign of a storm or other emergency. Pets can become disoriented and frightened during severe weather and may wander off during an emergency.
• Store important documents (birth certificates, property deed, etc.) in safe place away from home, for example, in a bank safe deposit box.
In honor of National Preparedness Month in September, I want to remind members about the power of preparation. While you don’t have to achieve a “doomsday prepper” level of preparedness, there are several practical steps you can take to keep you and your family safe. Here are general guidelines recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency:
If you have older family members or those with special needs, make sure they have enough medication and supplies for a few days. If they don’t live with you, arrange for a neighbor to check in on them. If a severe weather event is expected, consider having your relative stay with you if feasible, otherwise call them daily. If you have an infant or young children, make certain that you have ample formula, diapers, medication, and other supplies on hand to weather an outage lasting several days or more.
GUERNSEY-MUSKINGUM ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE CURRENTLY SPEAKING
• Organize your supplies so they are together in an easily accessible location.
At Guernsey-Muskingum, we care about your safety. Planning for an emergency situation today can give you more confidence to deal with severe weather and potential outages in the future.
• Assemble a grab-and-go disaster kit. Include items like nonperishable food, water (one gallon per person, per day), diapers, batteries, flashlights, prescription medications, first-aid kit, battery-powered radio, and phone chargers.
• Develop a plan for communicating with family and friends (via text, social media, third party, etc.).
• Have some extra cash available; during a power outage, electronic card readers and cash machines may not work.
• Fill your car with gas.
Keeping four-legged family members safe For families with pets, having a plan in place in the event of a prolonged outage or an emergency will help reduce worry and stress.

Swap the filter Furnace filters should be checked regularly and replaced when they are dirty. Simply writing down the dimensions of the furnace filter can help your neighbor, who can pick up new ones in the store or order online. If you find a really dirty furnace filter, don’t remove it until you have a replacement.
Easy ways to help a neighbor save energy
20 OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2022 GUERNSEY-MUSKINGUM ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE CURRENTLY SPEAKING
Remove the unit before wintertime so the window can close properly. Window AC units are heavy and awkward. This project is best done with a buddy. Get that person to commit to helping put the unit back next spring. Share energy-saving programs Information is a great way to help, and it’s free. Look into our programs and rebates and share that information with your neighbor. Don’t forget to check the U.S. Department of Energy for federal tax credits for upgrades.
Test the water temperature. At the faucet nearest the water heater, fill a glass with hot water and place a kitchen thermometer in it. If the water heater is set above 120 F, you can save energy by lowering the setting. Keep outdoor units clear Clean debris from around the air conditioner or heat pump. If leaves or brush pile up around the outdoor unit of a heat pump or air-conditioning system, it can reduce the airflow, making the system work harder than it should.
Operating your system without a filter allows dirt and dust in the system to go directly to the heating and cooling components, which can damage the system and necessitate costly repairs. Open the dampers Register dampers allow heated and cooled air to properly circulate throughout the home. If you have a central air heating or cooling system, dampers should be left open. The idea that closing registers saves energy is a common misconception. Adjust the water heater
Remove the window AC as part of your fall winterizing projects. Ray Crock

Offer to clean up leaves and debris around your neighbor’s air conditioner or heat pump.

On National Good Neighbor Day, Sept. 28 — or any day this month — join in the cooperative spirit and help your neighbors, friends, and family save at home with these do-it-yourself energy-saving tips. Change lightbulbs Prioritize changing lights that are used the most, such as incandescent porch lights left on all night. LEDs use about 75 % less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Some neighbors can’t climb step stools or ladders, so help them out if you are able.
OFFICIAL NOTICE
“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.
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 residential member must resume the timely payment of all charges for electric service provided by the cooperative after the return from active duty deployment.
Certification of Active Duty Deployment Guernsey-Muskingum Electric MEDICALCooperativeCERTIFICATION
Medical certification forms are available upon request at 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. 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.
SEPTEMBER 2022 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING 20A
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.
OFFICIAL NOTICE
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.
GUERNSEY-MUSKINGUM ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE CURRENTLY SPEAKING 20B OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING • SEPTEMBER 2022
Megan Morrow and Gavin Tuttle were selected to represent Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative this year at the Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives Youth Tour trip to Washington, D.C.
Youth Tour to Washington, D.C.
Youth Tour is an annual youth leadership experience for high school students from families served by electric cooperatives. As part of their tour of the nation’s capital, students met with members of their congressional delegation, visited Arlington National Cemetery, and attended a performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Megan, a senior at John Glenn High School, is the daughter of Jeremy and Robyn Morrow of Cambridge. Gavin, a junior at John Glenn High School, is the son of Nathan and Trudy Tuttle of New Concord.
Megan and Gavin joined approximately 36 other students from around Ohio — and 1,200 students from electric co-ops from 28 states — for the seven-day, all-expenses-paid trip.
For more photos and information about the students’ experiences, follow Youth Tour on Facebook (facebook.com/ohioyouthtour) and Instagram (instagram.com/ohioyouthtour).
Would you please help your cooperative find former members? Guernsey-Muskingum Electric would like your help in locating the following former members (or their heirs) who received service from the cooperative in prior years. Capital credits refund checks were mailed to former members listed in this Ohio Cooperative Living issue. These checks have not yet cleared the bank or have been returned to GuernseyMuskingum as “undeliverable.” If you have information on any of the names in the capital credits refund listing, please call the cooperative office at either of the numbers listed below and provide the information to the member accounting department. The cooperative is aware that many of the former members listed are deceased. However, we are looking for surviving family members who are eligible to receive the capital credits check. Thank you for your help in locating our former members.

Incredibly, however, according to OSU Head of Archives Tamar Chute, the stadium wasn’t always a given.
Chute says. “Those assumptions are just not true.”

“There was a lot of debate at the time over this crazy, new, huge building,” Chute says. “Why did we need the stadium? What was its purpose? And why would there be more than 60,000 people coming to watch a game? If you looked at their reasons when they talked about it, they rarely, if ever, mentioned football.”
A unique design
The stadium is affectionately nicknamed “the ’Shoe” for its original horseshoe-shaped outline. Construction on it began in August 1920, and when completed two years later, it was the largest poured-concrete structure in the world.
Ohio Stadium, going strong, celebrates its centennial this season.
Local architect Howard Dwight Smith, an Ohio State alumnus and later a professor of architecture — and eventually the university architect — designed the doubledeck style and pioneered new architectural techniques during its construction, such as slurry walls that kept out the nearby Olentangy River floodwaters. When the stadium hosted its dedication game against Michigan on Oct. 22, 1922, it filled its seating capacity of 66,210, leaving an overflow of 5,000 fans to stand. After several expansions, the stadium is currently the fourth-largest on-campus facility in the country, with a seating capacity of 104,581 (though more than 110,000 packed in for the 2016 game against Michigan). Not just a stadium
In fact, the stadium came about more as a result of the world’s geopolitical climate than any success of the football team. “Education was a really important driver at the time, as was physical and military preparedness, because these conversations were taking place right after World War I,” Chute says. “The aftermath of that war really tied into the purpose of the stadium. They wanted it for the entire university, for the overall sense of wellbeing of the students. They wanted to make it something that people cared about, regardless of whether they cared about football.”
“We think, in 2022, that this stadium was inevitable — that it was inevitable it was going to be a double-decker and that it was going to be built for more than 60,000 people [its original capacity]. And of course, we inevitably enclose it because we knew we would fill it up so much, right?”

These days, as we watch more than 100,000 fans pack Ohio Stadium for Buckeyes football, weekend after weekend each fall, it’s impossible to imagine Ohio State University without it.
The centerpiece of the Ohio State University campus and an iconic image of college football in general, Ohio Stadium turns 100 years old in October. Since its opening in 1922, it is estimated more than 50 million people have been in the stadium for game attendance.
The stadium’s history is steeped in memorable moments beyond football. It stands as a witness to the annual spring commencement ceremonies; was the original home of the Columbus Crew Major League Soccer team; and has played host to several mega-concerts such as the Rolling Stones, U2, and numerous incarnations of the Buckeye Country Superfest. But the ’Shoe is more than just a venue for entertainment and graduation. “Ohio Stadium holds a special place “The aftermath of [World War I] really tied into the purpose of the stadium. they wanted it for the entire university, for the overall sense of well-being of the students. They wanted to make it something that people cared about, regardless of whether they cared about football.”
SEPTEMBER 2022 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING 25
Maureen Cahill, class of ’81, summed up her feelings about the stadium, capturing the essence of what the original planners had intended. “When at Ohio State University, everybody wants a chance to be in the ’Shoe and be part of what happens in the ’Shoe — it doesn’t matter what the activity is,” she says. “It could be sports, a commencement, or it could be the Special Olympics. It’s just being part of something bigger than yourself, and that’s amazing.”
“Families have celebrated a loved one’s academic achievement here, champions have been crowned here, and it has helped so many of us fall in love with what it means to be a part of the Ohio State community.”
A home for students While it’s a well-known fact that students regularly fill the stadium on game days, the general public might not know that students used to actually live in the stadium. In 1933, the OSU Dean of Men, Joseph A. Park, created the Stadium Scholarship Dormitory for students who otherwise couldn’t afford to go to college. The scholarship offered students reduced tuition and sleeping quarters inside the stadium in exchange for taking care of dormitory housekeeping chores. The dormitory grew along the west side of the stadium and attracted attention, including a visit from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The program exists today, though because of expansions and renovations, the dormitory moved out of the stadium and into Mack Hall in 1999. The sense of community and special living circumstances of the Stadium Scholarship Dormitory, however, still resonate with former residents. “Even today, more than 20 years later, I still love to tell people I lived in the ’Shoe and had 95,000 die-hard, screaming Buckeye football nuts in my backyard on Saturdays,” says Jessica (Miller) Banks, a former resident and resident advisor from 1995 to 1997. “I have several close groups of friends that I’m still in contact with on a regular basis. The SSD (Stadium Scholarship Dormitory) was unique in that we all lived and worked there, and having nearly 300 people in your everyday life made a huge campus seem small.”
Celebrating the memories
in the hearts of all Buckeyes; it is a place of historic significance,” says OSU President Kristina Johnson.
Ohio State University graduates echo similar heartfelt sentiments about the stadium — even if they didn’t live within its walls. “All my memories of Ohio Stadium are linked to family memories,” says Marcia Dowds, class of ’89. “Going to games with one sister, visiting the other when she lived in the stadium dorms, weekends spent with out-of-town relatives coming in for the tailgates and games. Like a childhood home, the stadium represents some of the best memories of my life in Columbus and my time at Ohio State University.”

“All four are native species and they’re game animals in Ohio. As a part of our mission, we monitor all our game species to keep track of their population trajectories,” she says. “It was established in 1979, so it’s been going on for a long time.” Dennison says it’s usually fairly easy to identify a carcass on or near the road, though if it isn’t, surveyors must stop and get a closer look. “We get funny looks occasionally,” she says, laughing. “People will sometimes stop and want to know what you’re doing or what you’re looking for.”
Speaking of precipitation, wildlife officers say surveys in the rain can be a little tricky because everything gets matted down and harder to identify on the fly.
Katie Dennison
Every year the routes are driven by wildlife officers or DOW staff like Katie. As the name suggests, they count the roadkill. And for what possible earthly reason?
BY JAMES PROFFITT M
ostly in life, possums, skunks, groundhogs, and racoons don’t get much respect. That’s especially so for the ones who spend their last earthly moments on Ohio roadways, just before they get hit. To at least one person in Ohio, however, they’re forever immortalized, even if it’s just as a number.
It’s often wildlife officers like Michele Butler charged with the surveys. Butler, assigned to Erie County, recently spent a couple hours driving a route that meandered through Sandusky and Ottawa counties. At one point, she slowed to a crawl for something unidentifiable, but then shook her head, punched the accelerator, and continued on. It was just a clump of muddy turf.
Katie Dennison is a research biologist for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife. At the Olentangy Research Station in Columbus, she oversees the annual Furbearer Roadkill Survey. And yes, that’s the official name. “There are 50 different routes, 40 miles long,” Dennison says. “We drive them three times a month in March and April, so they get covered a total of six times each.”
ODNR’s roadkill survey tracks animal populations in a unique way.
SEPTEMBER 2022 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING 29
Another species Dennison wants to know about are bobcats, which have made a comeback in Ohio and so are seen frequently by officers — both alive and on the Dennisonroad.said the bowhunter survey data usually correlates with the roadkill survey data. “For the most part, they’re pretty much in line,” she says. “The possum was one where we’ve seen a declining trend going back to the early ’90s. And on bowhunter and roadkill surveys, skunks declined through the ’90s and early 2000s, but have been stable for about a decade.”
Surveyors driving the routes are also asked to report anything unusual and when possible, to collect the carcass for a necropsy to determine age, sex, health, reproductive status, etc.
“Badgers are one of those we ask them to collect,” Dennison says. “And gray fox also.”
Dennison says the bowhunters aren’t hunting for the species, they’re just recording how many hours they were in the woods and what they saw — which is an important supplement to the information collected from the roads. “They’re abundant species — we just use the information from both sources to keep tabs on them and make sure that no large, unaccounted changes take place,” she says.
Butler says she never seems to find anything too exciting — but sometimes other people do. To supplement the survey that tracks the four furbearing animals, Ohio bowhunters are asked to take part in a voluntary survey each hunting season — about 3,300 sent in data last year. The hunters are asked to keep an eye out for the four species while in the woods. As an example, a recent survey from bowhunters accounting for about 108,000 hours in the woods offered up numbers on the species, plus a few bonus sightings of black bears, fishers, and other notable creatures.
While porcupines have been sighted in Ohio near the Pennsylvania border, none have been found on the road during the survey. Some armadillos have showed up — though Dennison discounts them as hitchhikers because they were found hundreds of miles from their nearest territory near an interstate in northern Ohio.
“Sometimes you see something and you don’t know if it’s a racoon that’s been hit 20 times or if it’s dirt or something else,” she chuckles. “There’s definitely more exciting things we could be doing. But this is important data for our biologists like Katie. And plus, I’d much rather be outside than in an office or a lab.”
Wildlife Officer Reid Van Cleve is a veteran of the survey.
Banner years both population- and roadkill-wise for groundhogs, possums, raccoons, and skunks? 1989, 1991, 2000, and 1996, respectively. And apparently time and experience does not teach any of the four animals to better cross roads since the total number hit versus number-per-mile remains a steady ratio throughout the survey history.
When asked about turtles (which aren’t on the survey), Dennison made it clear she’s no expert. But she does have some advice because — let’s face it — who among us has not stopped to help a turtle cross the road? “If you can stop safely,” she says, emphasizing the “safely” part, “always move them in the same direction they were heading — otherwise they’ll just turn back around and head back across the road.”

Love of kombi is an affliction that runs deep and can span decades — ask anyone who suffers. Specifically, ask those who assemble at the Kelleys Island 4-H campground each autumn for LEAKOIL’s annual weekend camping event, Kombis on Kelleys. LEAKOIL invites its members and other owners of classic Volkswagen buses to gather, gawk, and gush over the classic cultural icons often associated with road-tripping, hippies, and the peace movement. This year’s event will be Oct. 7–9.
After a small family kerfuffle, she acquired the vintage bus from a sibling in 1997 for the price of its set of new tires. Then it sat at her suburban Columbus home, moving only on rare jaunts around the neighborhood before another kerfuffle, this time with her homeowners association. As a result, it was towed, extensively repaired, plated, and joyfully returned to the road.

Esquivel’s friend Kathy Kern, also from Columbus, has a 1968 kombi, which she went to great lengths to own — all the way across the country, actually. She spoke of it fondly as she stood among a convoy of VW kombis waiting for the ferry at last year’s event. “We flew out to California before the internet, and bought it from one of the old Auto Trader magazines. Got it from the original owner,” she said with a lilt of satisfaction in her voice. “Then we drove it home.”
BY JAMES PROFFITT History, kamping, and koolness are all on display at Kelleys Island’s LEAKOIL Kombi Kampout.
“I was one of the first ones coming here 20-plus years ago when we camped at the state park,” says Columbus resident Brett Esquivel, though she notes that marriage and children interrupted for a while. “Two years ago was my first time back here camping, and I brought my 14-yearold daughter. She just loved it.”
LEAKOIL stands for Lake Erie Area Kombi Owners Involvement Group, and “kombi” is short for the German word kombinationkraftswagen, or roughly translated, station wagon. Esquivel said there are disadvantages to owning an old bus, including the “old rust-bucket” itself (as she describes her 1972 camper) and the constant attention it requires. “People are always saying, ‘I love your car!’ and ‘Can I look inside?’” she says. “Of course, I always let them. And people offer to buy it all the time, too, but I would never sell it.”
An apparent prerequisite to bus ownership is the willingness to display endearing decals; Kern’s bus has one that reads: “0 to 60 in 5 minutes.”
Port Clinton resident Craig Stephens had his 1964 splitwindow bus at the event — “split,” meaning the windshield is two pieces of glass instead of a single wrap-around. Only pre-1968 buses feature the two-pane windows, and such owners consider themselves lucky. “A split would be the most sought-after out of the buses here,” he says. “In general, the split window’s the coolest bus. It’s also true that it’s not ‘if’ it’s going to break down, it’s ‘when’ it’s going to break down. Because it’s going to break down, and that’s why you carry tools.”

Fortunately, Kern did in fact make it to Kelleys — but without the bus; she just parked it, hopped in a friend’s bus, and kept heading north. Her van was repaired by the time the campout was over, and she drove it back home.
“My mechanic made me put that on there and, well, it’s the truth,” she chuckles. “It’s to let the guy behind me know to not be in a hurry, because we’re not going anywhere fast.” The official LEAKOIL logo, in fact, features a bus dripping oil. When asked about mechanical issues, Kern interrupts. “All the time,” she says with a laugh. “Last year we didn’t make it here with the bus, we broke down in New Washington. That’s why I travel in a group — so if it breaks down, there are people to work on it. In fact, there’s a book that lists an entire network of people across the U.S. that will help you repair Volkswagens.”
But Kathy Kern says that there’s not really a pecking order among the bus crowd. “No, they’re all loved by everyone,” she says. “We’re one big family and I’m sure everyone here would be more than willing to talk to you about their bus. Trust me.”
Despite the fact that Stephens’ van is a coveted “splittie,” it is not loved by all. “My wife’s not a fan of it,” he says. “Her idea of camping is on the fifth floor at the Hilton.”
