We have experienced a dramatic run-up in the price of every form of energy in less than a year’s time. We continue to witness both actual blackouts and near misses on a more regular basis. Electric cooperatives across the United States and here in Ohio represent less than 10% of the electric industry, but we continue to be among the strongest advocates for reliable, affordable, always-available electricity systems.

Local control of each electric cooperative and collaboration among cooperatives to develop large-scale projects, like the power generation plants owned and controlled by Ohio’s electric cooperatives, help us deliver on our mission of providing electricity service you can count on and you can afford. Government mandates and political ambitions are some of the most powerful forces in our industry these days, which makes it more important than ever that you as cooperative members participate in electing people who understand and respect the benefits of local control and common sense.

Mike DeWine

Knowing the importance of electric cooperative voters in the campaign, the candidates took some time recently to answer questions that are crucial to Ohio Cooperative Living readers.

If elected in November, what will be the issues of highest priority for your administration?

Mike DeWine: We must bring economic prosperity and hope to every part of Ohio. We must improve our economic development efforts in Ohio and focus on every part of the state. To succeed in a tech-focused economy, we are investing substantially in career education, job training, and workforce development. We are closing the digital divide so that all Ohioans have access to high-speed internet services, which will create opportunity for generations.

Nan Whaley

OCTOBER 2022 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING  5

This is how we make Ohio a place where one good job is enough, where every community is safe and healthy, and where your kids and grandkids have real opportunities.

We must end the devastating opioid epidemic that is killing 15 Ohioans each day, flooding our foster care system with the children of addicts, and costing Ohio $8 billion each year. I have a 12-point plan of action that includes K-12 drug prevention education in all schools, more resources for law enforcement to fight the Mexican drug cartels, and increased treatment for individuals. This also means investing in mental health. The bottom line is this: Ohioans with untreated addiction and mental illness will remain underemployed and unemployed, and

We must continue to improve early childhood education to reach all Ohio children. We need more kids who are kindergarten-ready and must greatly increase the number of high-performing schools in Ohio. We need to ensure that every kid who graduates is job or college ready. To fail to do that is to fail our children.

Nan Whaley: I’m running for governor because I believe Ohio deserves better. For essentially 30 years, we’ve had one-party rule in our state and, during that time, we’ve watched as Ohio has fallen further and further behind. Our only path forward is a total overhaul — and that’s what I am proposing.

so much potential — for people, for families, for our state — will be lost if we do not take action.

My message is pretty simple: I want your pay to go up, your bills to go down, and your government to work for you. That includes raising wages by investing in the jobs of the future, tackling inflation by temporarily suspending the gas tax and cracking down on price gouging, and finally, cleaning up corruption at the Statehouse.

obtaining resources to rebuild, repair, and modernize transportation infrastructure to improve supply chain logistics. An important initiative of my administration will be to conduct an accurate statewide assessment of broadband connectivity to demonstrate the deep need in rural Ohio to help outline a plan for action. This assessment will help operationalize my commitment to providing universal broadband across Appalachian Ohio by 2028

What will you do to help improve the vitality of small towns and rural communities while improving economic opportunities for Ohioans in rural areas?

Nan Whaley: As a former mayor, I understand that shops, restaurants, and other small businesses are what make our communities vibrant. These face-toface businesses have also suffered the most from the pandemic. I will convene local small business councils to maximize the use of federal and state resources to make sure that these businesses prosper in the postpandemic economy. I will direct the Development Services Agency to redouble its efforts in making targeted commercial corridor investments in cities, towns, and villages across the state.

One good job should be enough. Every Ohioan deserves the dignity of work — a job that provides opportunity for your family and kids, regardless of your ZIP code. You should be free to collectively bargain; have a safe workplace; receive adequate health care; paid sick and family leave; and earn a wage that pays you fairly for the important value you provide.

Democratic nominee Nan Whaley, the former mayor of Dayton, says she is committed to Ohio’s working- and middle-class families.

There should be ample opportunity for your kids and grandkids to build their lives anywhere in Ohio. Whether you live in a small town or a big city, in a suburb or on a farm, you deserve to have access to economic opportunity in Ohio. Ohio’s strength is in just how big and diverse our state is — we can’t afford to leave anyone behind. We need to invest in Ohio talent all across the state.

I know that broadband development is crucial to the economic viability of Ohio communities. I support initiatives that bring infrastructure and affordable broadband and high-speed internet access to unserved and underserved parts of the state. This also includes

residents will gain access to high-speed internet. Giving our rural and underserved areas access will be a boon for small towns and rural economies.

Lt. Gov. Husted and I are also working with the legislature to invest substantially in career education, job training, and workforce development to help give every Ohioan an opportunity to get a satisfying and well-paying job.

My goal is for Ohio to lead the world in behavioral health research and care. We can do this by investing significantly more in research and innovation, offering better crisis response services and treatment, increasing prevention efforts, and expanding residential and community-based services.

Incumbent Gov. Mike DeWine, former congressman and U.S. senator, touts his record of working for Ohio’s small towns.

We have what it takes to rebuild our economy. Our state is full of gritty entrepreneurs and resilient workers who have the skills and resources to make our state a place where everyone can thrive. But to do so, we need a governor and a government that is looking out for Ohio families, not special interests.

Further, my administration is committed to improving access to mental health and addiction services. We have created a landmark program to address the mental and physical health needs of children at school. Additionally, we have more than doubled medication-assisted drug treatment capacity across Ohio and have dramatically increased crisis stabilization services.

With an investment of $232 million in grants, Broadband Ohio estimates that around 230,000

To remove barriers to success, we are focusing efforts in areas of the state, such as Appalachia, where we are investing in downtown redevelopment. We are also closing the digital divide in Ohio, with the goal that everyone in Ohio will have access to high-speed internet, which will create opportunity for generations of Ohioans in our modern, tech-focused economy.

I support home rule policies that serve as the foundation for local governments to take bold action to cut carbon emissions, reduce waste, and invest in bold renewable energy plans. Unfortunately, the autonomy and authority of local governments have been eroded in recent years by Republicans at the Statehouse, undermining cities’ ability to promote sustainable practices.

restoring renewable energy standards and stopping the subsidization of failing coal plants.

I will work to secure Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding for communities facing fossil fuel plant closures or reductions to fund transition plans and adjustment assistance for workers. I will also work to improve rules regarding Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) so this financing tool can accelerate the deployment of energy efficiency projects and electric vehicle charging stations and extend the program to residential solar projects that balance rapid deployment of clean energy and consumer protection.

I firmly believe that how our state faces the impact of climate change is critical to our future prosperity. The climate change crisis is also an opportunity to create new industries and jobs for Ohioans thanks to their skills in engineering, logistics, supply chain, and manufacturing. Our Jobs Plan described at nanwhaley.com/jobs clearly lays out our strategy for building a resilient, sustainable Ohio economy with practical, comprehensive policies to advance Ohio’s clean energy sector.

Ohio’s electric cooperatives strive to provide affordable and reliable electric service to members through an all-of-the-above approach to electric generation sources. As governor, how will your policies toward electricity generation ensure that cooperatives can continue to best serve their members?

Mike DeWine: As governor, I’ve dedicated hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure all Ohioans, but especially those living in rural communities, have access to basic needs and the building blocks of economic development, such as clean drinking water, functioning sewer systems, and broadband internet. Electric cooperatives play an important role in this too — delivering power to thousands of Ohioans, farms, and businesses.

Nan Whaley: One of my first and top priorities as governor will be to fully repeal HB 6 . In addition to the corruption behind it that continues to undermine public trust in our government, the law is an awful policy that was a huge step backward for our state. It is imperative that we put Ohio back on a positive trajectory when it comes to our energy policy by

STORY AND PHOTOS BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS

No one seems to know for sure how or where the name “hellbender” came from. One theory claims that this docile, harmless salamander was named by early American settlers who thought it so ugly, “it was a creature from hell where it’s bent on returning.” Other common names for Cryptobranchus alleganiensis include devil dog, mud dog, water dog, and grampus. My personal favorite — for the disgusted reaction it triggers — is “snot otter,” describing the heavy coating of mucus that covers the creature’s wrinkled, mottled-brown skin.

What the heck’s Whathellbender?atheheck’sahellbender?

erpetologist Greg Lipps, standing knee-deep in the Kokosing River in Knox County, lifts the side of a large, flat rock and tilts it up on edge. As the swirling mud below slowly clears, he stares intently into the water. If the critter he’s searching for is lurking there, it won’t be hard to see.

Measuring up to 30 inches long and weighing more than 5 pounds, the giant aquatic salamander he seeks is also the largest amphibian in North America: the Eastern hellbender.

At the northern fringe of their North American range in Ohio, hellbenders inhabit a very specific aquatic habitat niche. Preferring clear, relatively fast-moving rivers in the unglaciated portion of the Buckeye State, they are only found in streams that drain into the Ohio River — not Lake Erie. Most are found along the bends of streams at the base of steep, heavily wooded hillsides and, as previously mentioned, under large, flat slab rocks.

Today, these creatures are listed as state-endangered. Does that mean the eventual extirpation of hellbenders from Ohio? Wildlife biologists aren’t sure — possibly it’s too late already — but they’re not waiting to find out. Many wildlife conservation organizations in the state have banded together to form the Ohio Hellbender Partnership. Two of those partners, the Toledo and Columbus zoos, are helping by collecting hellbender eggs in the wild and rearing the young in biosecure facilities, where survivability can be much higher than in the wild. Some of the young hellbenders, measuring about a foot long, are later released in the same streams in which the eggs were collected, while others are used to repopulate streams that have supported hellbenders in the past. Since 2012, more than 1,600 young hellbenders have been released at 26 sites in 10 watersheds.

Among other factors, food and ride insecurity continue to drive increased need for those battling breast and gynecological cancers. Across all regions, Pink Ribbon Girls has experienced significant increases in clients signing up for services and the use of those services.

Hohenstein, who lives in Troy and is married with three children, considers herself fortunate in that she had a strong support system to lean on.

Pink Ribbon Girls serves five regions: Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus in Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; and the Bay Area in California. The organization’s sights are set on expanding their reach to other regions throughout the country, to ensure that no one has to battle breast or gynecological cancers alone.

As Hohenstein can attest, breast cancer affects more than the individual — it affects the entire family.

“I was lucky they found it early, and I have a great support system,” she says. “Not everyone is that fortunate.”

ne in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Even in the abstract, it’s a staggering statistic, but for Julie Hohenstein, a Pioneer Electric Cooperative member, and her family, it’s a harsh reality.

“Before all of this started for me, I thought Pink Ribbon Girls was solely a breast cancer organization,” says Amy Wiford, a Pioneer Electric member. “It was a pleasant surprise to find that there was a local organization that supported those of us with gynecological cancers as well.”

Worse yet, Wiford had to wait a month before she could have surgery due to the overwhelming demand for beds during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I didn’t have any family history of ovarian cancer,” says Wiford. “I actually had very few risk factors.”

Wiford says her sister encouraged her to reach out to Pink Ribbon Girls. Although she had seen their vehicles dropping patients off at the cancer center frequently, she was reluctant to reach out to Pink Ribbon Girls, but was so glad when she finally did.

“I am beyond grateful that they reached out to me and for the support they provided,” says Hohenstein.

During her fight, Wiford relied most heavily on her family to care for her son and provide meals, cleaning, and transportation — which led her to Pink Ribbon Girls.

Left, Amy Wiford was only 38 years old, with a 15-month-old son, when she was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer.

In 2021, the nonprofit provided more than 150,000 meals, 16,000 rides to treatment, and 1,000 housecleaning kits to clients and their families throughout all regions. In addition, more than 2,000 individuals participated in peer support and educational opportunities provided by Pink Ribbon Girls.

More than breast cancer

“The scariest part for me was not knowing,” says Wiford. “When I started having symptoms, I was very aggressive in getting treatment right away.”

Wiford, who first began experiencing symptoms in September 2021, was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer following a radical hysterectomy in October 2021 When symptoms began, Wiford, a former nurse, knew something was very wrong.

“At the time I was diagnosed, my son was 15 months old,” says Wiford. “I chose to be a single mom, and they were my biggest supporters with taking care of my son and myself.”

Julie Hohenstein (far right) relied on the support of her family during treatment for breast cancer, but was grateful to Pink Ribbon Girls for filling in the gaps.

In the Ohio regions, Pink Ribbon Girls provided nearly 80,000 meals, 9,000 rides to treatment, more than 600

housecleaning kits, and over 1,000 instances of peer support and educational opportunities.

Girls works to provide the tangible support those battling cancer need right now so that they can conserve their energy and simply focus on fighting for their lives,” says Heather Salazar, CEO of Pink Ribbon Girls. “In the beginning, we served just four families. Today we’re serving families in 243 ZIP codes in Ohio alone. And the numbers are on the rise; we saw a 33% increase in clients in the first six months of this year compared to the same time frame last year.”

“Experiencing both a cancer diagnosis and having my son during the pandemic was very isolating for us,” says Wiford. “It made me appreciate simple things like getting out in the community and being around people again.”

She also received a cleaning supply kit from the nonprofit, which she says was extremely beneficial, as her family helped her keep her home clean, especially during the pandemic.

“Their tagline is, ‘No one travels this road alone,’   ” says Wiford, “They absolutely live that out. They are a golden nugget — we are fortunate to have them local to us.”

“My sister really pushed me to reach out to Pink Ribbon Girls, but I remember thinking, I’m 38, I’m young, I’m independent, I’m successful, I don’t need to reach out and rely on other people,” says Wiford. “That was a big area of learning and growth for me.”

One of the main services Wiford utilized during her treatment was Pink Ribbon Girls’ meal service.

“I didn’t realize that my nutritional intake was so poor, prior to receiving their services,” says Wiford. “Knowing I had something healthy and convenient to eat, specifically when I wasn’t feeling well after treatment, was a huge relief for me.”

Add snow peas during the last minute of cooking, then drain and rinse both with cold water and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Toss cucumber, carrots, and green onions on top. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Pour sauce in with noodles and veggies, tossing to coat. Eat cold or at room temperature. Store in the fridge for up to a week.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to prepare one lunch recipe Sunday evening to eat all week long, this recipe is for you. It’s quick to prepare and there’s no refrigeration required at your workplace — it’s just as good eaten at room temperature.

2 cups snow peas

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup canned light coconut milk, mixed well

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

3 teaspoons Sriracha sauce

1 cup grated carrots

3 green onions, diced

1 pound cooked chicken breast, diced

Per serving: 675 calories, 27 grams fat (6 grams saturated fat), 104 milligrams cholesterol, 848 milligrams sodium, 69 grams total carbohydrates, 12 grams fiber, 44 grams protein.

NOTE: Canned or jarred pimento can often be found in the olive section of the grocery store. If not available, roasted red peppers can be substituted and are usually in the Italian aisle.

Drain pimento. Consider the spice level you’d like for your pimento cheese. The age of your red pepper flakes will make a big difference in how spicy they are — they become milder over time. If you’re sure you want yours to be on the mild side, start with ½ teaspoon. If you’re sure you want it spicy, start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until incorporated, about 15 to 30 seconds. Taste and adjust spices, then pulse a few more times. (Without a food processor, chop the pimentos and shredded cheddar a bit more and mix by hand with a scraper spatula or large spoon.) Store in refrigerator for a week or longer. Eat cold or at room temperature.

PESTO CHICKEN TORTELLINI

Pimento cheese is the hero spread of many quick lunch meals, making it easy for each person in the household to put their own spin on it or to mix it up throughout the week. Use as a dip for raw vegetables, wrap some up with some sliced turkey, or spread on celery, crackers, and bagels.

If you prefer eating a different lunch every day, this recipe can be made in small batches. Simply keep the tortellini, grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, and even the broccoli in the freezer until you’re ready for another batch. The open jars of pesto and sun-dried tomatoes will last for quite some time in the fridge.

all is a busy time, and October is a particularly eventful month with school, community, and sports activities in full swing. It’s also when all cooperatives celebrate National Co-op Month.

CELEBRATING MEMBERSHIP

Focused on YOU.

Our core business purpose is to serve as your electricity provider, but the larger mission of the co-op is to help make our corner of the world a better place. Concern for Community is one of seven guiding principles that all co-ops share.

Similar to how our wires run through our service territory, our concern for community flows through all of our decisions — because being a co-op means being a responsible partner and good neighbor.

PIONEER ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE LOCAL PAGES

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL CO-OP MONTH

When I say Pioneer celebrates Co-op Month, it really means we are celebrating you! After all, our co-op wouldn’t exist without you, our members.

Electric cooperatives were created to serve their members. Because we’re a co-op, we’re able to adapt to our community’s unique needs. That’s the power of co-op membership.

Pioneer works to help our community thrive through initiatives led by our employees and our board, which is made of neighbors who live right here in our community and are elected to their positions. Because we’re local, we understand our community’s unique needs and strive to help meet them.

The word “cooperative” is close to “cooperation,” meaning people working together toward a common goal —

If you haven’t already, I encourage you take a moment and download our app, SmartHub. Through the app, you can conveniently monitor and manage your energy use. We’re here to help, so give us a call if you have questions about your energy bills.

Electric cooperatives in Ohio work together and with our local generation and transmission cooperative, Buckeye Power, along with our statewide services organization, the National Information Solutions Cooperative, and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the national trade association for electric cooperatives. Together, we’re leading efforts to establish relationships, provide tools, and share resources and training information to harden and improve the overall cyber landscape.

• Enable multifactor or two-factor authentication for your online accounts. This extra layer of security allows websites and applications to confirm you’re really who you say you are. The additional authentication may come in many forms, including

a confirmation text code on your phone, an email or even a separate authenticator app. By adding this second step, you’re making it a lot harder for hackers to access your accounts.

DEMOCRATIC CONTROL

We all have a part to play in combatting cyber threats. Electric cooperatives and their local and national partners will continue working together to advance cybersecurity defenses for all co-op members and the local communities they serve.

You can help, too. Good cyber hygiene is equally important at home and in our personal lives. Just like grid technology continues to expand, so does the connected home. With smart (internet-connected) technologies integrated into many of our homes, whether it be a smart speaker or a connected appliance, it’s essential to take steps to protect our devices and personal data.

s cybersecurity threats continue to grow both at home and in the workplace, it’s important to know what we can do as individuals, how we can work with others, and measures we can take to reduce our risk of cyber threats.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month — but good cyber hygiene should be practiced year-round.

Here are a few cybersecurity tips you can implement at home:

• Think before you click. Be careful when clicking links or opening attachments. This is one of the most important ways to protect yourself against scammers and hackers. If you receive a text message or email that seems too good to be true, threatens negative consequences for not taking immediate action, or displays a sense of urgency, take extra precautions. If an email looks like it came from a friend or co-worker, but it seems odd, pick up the phone and check with the person before opening any links or attachments. Their email account might have been hacked.

• Use secure passwords. This means using unique passwords for all your accounts and ensuring they are at least 15 characters long. Randomly generated passwords or passphrases are typically more secure. You might also consider using some type of password manager. In addition to suggesting new, strong and unique credentials for every login, many password managers will let you know if your existing passwords are weak, reused, or have been associated with a data breach so you can take action immediately.

COOPERATIVE CYBERSECURITY

Electric co-ops are guided by seven cooperative principles. One of these principles, Cooperation Among Cooperatives, is important to protecting and defending our nation’s electric grid from cyberattacks. As the grid evolves and new technologies emerge, this creates additional opportunities for threat actors to target our systems. Electric cooperatives are coming together to fight back and add resiliency to the electric grid.

Remember, it’s important to practice good cyber hygiene at home, in the workplace, and even on the go. Be vigilant as you connect to outside networks and carefully read emails before clicking or opening links and attachments. Consider using a virtual private network (VPN), which encrypts your online activities while you’re working on the go or even at home. A VPN adds a layer of privacy protection to your online interactions by routing your traffic through an encrypted connection.

THE ELECTRIC CO-OP HISTORY OF INNOVATION

From high-tech to high-touch

Making light out of darkness

That legacy still works today, and it’s why time is set aside each October to recognize National Co-op Month. It’s a reminder that business succeeds not just through competition, but also through cooperation.

originally created to solve one of the most basic andcomplexofneedsanddesires

id you know one of the most cuttingedge places for technology is right up the road at your local electric cooperative? While it may seem surprising to think of your electric co-op as a high-tech leader, it’s part of a way of doing business that has been finding new approaches to solving modern problems for nearly 100 years.

Electric co-ops didn’t spring from a national directive or organization. They are truly homegrown products of what local people wanted for their community. Electric co-ops first started forming as early as 1914, and the formation of the Rural Electrification Administration in 1935 helped smooth the way forward. But it was local community initiative over the next three decades that finally brought electric service to nearly everyone.

The story of electric co-ops is of a true grassroots movement of unique, homegrown organizations. The one characteristic that applies to all of them is that they care for and listen to the local members they serve. For electric co-ops, one size does not fit all — it’s the local community that’s in charge. In recognizing that every one of us is different, co-ops make both an electric connection and a human connection.

In fact, electric co-ops were originally created to solve one of the most basic and complex of needs and desires — making light out of darkness.

As a result of the member-owned cooperative form of business, co-ops stand out in many areas of the electric utility industry. They lead the way in community solar — an initiative in which the co-op utility builds a solar array that is supported by interested co-op members buying shares of the project. Electric vehicles are getting a boost from co-ops as well, with many placing charging stations in public parks and other rural locations.

A true grassroots movement

In the early part of the last century, America’s cities were being transformed by this new thing called electricity. But outside the municipal boundaries, people could only look with envy at the glow from over the horizon. Setting poles and stringing power lines miles outside of town for one or two customers was deemed too expensive.

And that’s a truly powerful innovation.

Luckily, go-getters in America’s rural communities believed they could solve the problems that kept the power companies from connecting them to modern society. They called their friends and neighbors together and started forming their own utilities. They were community-based organizations, democratically-run, not-for-profit businesses called cooperatives. Today, there are more than 900 electric co-ops in the U.S.

result is autumn entertainment that many embrace as an annual tradition.

BY MARGO BARTLETT

Find a fun fall tradition by getting lost in some a-maize-ing creations.

With cornfields covering over 13% (3.5 million acres) of Ohio land area, it’s only natural that corn mazes proliferate around the state; a quick online search found more than 100, so there’s sure to be one near you. We visited a few for a behind-the-scenes look.

s viewed from above, some corn mazes are complicated labyrinths of intricate, themed designs. Whether they’re looking for a challenge or just an autumn atmosphere, enthusiasts of all ages are attracted to corn mazes.

“We leave no man behind,” Hamilton jokes. She says the maze can be navigated in 10 minutes or two hours, depending on one’s sense of direction and desire to stay lost.

Located at the Coshocton KOA Holiday in Coshocton, the Mighty Maze is a part of the fall festival held by Ryan and Camille McPeek. Employee Amy Hamilton says they plant the corn like normal, and the maze is cut with a tractor and a GPS device.

Other activities at McPeek’s include live music, food trucks, pumpkin painting, wagon rides, and trick-or-treat on October Saturdays — but the Mighty Maze is mighty popular. Hamilton says on their busiest day last year, over 1,000 people ventured through the corn.

McPeek’s Mighty Maze and Fall Festival

On designated nights, adults can sample beer and wine from Ohio breweries and wineries at stations inside the maze. Flashlight nights are for intrepid souls who enjoy navigating a maze in the dark.

McPeek’s Mighty Maze at Coshocton KOA, 24688 County Road 10, Coshocton, OH 43812. Open noon–9 p.m. daily through Oct. 30. 740 502 9245, www.coshoctonkoafallfestival.com

Do mazers ever get lost?

“Some do need help,” she says, noting that guides are always available. Before closing each evening, employees sweep through the maze, looking for stragglers.

Pausch’s 2022 design, The Toga Maze, observed from a lookout tower in late July, was knee-highish. Mazes are planted much later than farmers plant corn crops, Pausch says, because a corn maze should be green, not harvest-ready.

During Extraordinary Days, people with autism and other disabilities can navigate the mini-maze, accompanied by trained employees, and enjoy the other activities, which are adapted as necessary.

The maze at Lynd Fruit Farm is planted using a GPS device, rather than cut into the field after it grows (photo courtesy Lynd Fruit Farm).

Other activities include wagon and barrel train rides, a farmthemed playground, and individual campfires. Employees provide the wood, light the fire, and ensure no sparks remain at the end of the evening.

Lynd Fruit Farm

“We just want to keep it unique, so people have a reason to come back,” Pausch says.

Guests who prefer to explore the corn-walled bowers at leisure may follow the “cheat line” and stroll smoothly from entrance to exit. As many as 1,000 people go through the maze each day. Pausch said the 2021 season’s total visitor count was 22,000.

Amy Pausch, the “director of laughs and smiles” at Lynd Fruit Farm in Pataskala, designs each year’s corn maze in the spring, a project that takes about two weeks. Her finished design is programmed into a GPS device, and the maze is planted, not cut, into the field.

“We do get a little spooky at night,” Pausch says. “Doing the maze in the dark is very different from daytime.”

Lynd Fruit Farm, 9851 Morse Road SW, Pataskala, OH 43062. Open 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 30. 740 927 8559, www.lyndfruitfarm.com

Each maze includes a childfriendly “mini-maze” in one corner — this year’s corner is Gnomesville. Pausch’s past designs include patriotic themes, Jurassic Park, Journey to Oz, and Middleearth. Visitors can participate in a scavenger hunt while they explore.

McDonald’s Greenhouse

Each maze takes about 20 minutes to navigate, though many will intentionally extend that a bit. “You don’t really get lost,” Susan says. Road traffic and the barn help orient guests, and roving helpers rescue any anxious mazers.

McDonald’s Greenhouse, 3220 Adamsville Road, Zanesville, OH 43701. Open 9:30 a.m.–7 p.m. weekdays; 10 a.m.–7 p.m. Saturdays; and noon–6 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 31. 740 819 5814, https://mcdonaldsgreenhouse.com

This year’s maze theme at McDonald’s Greenhouse was inspired by the owner’s son, who raises

The maze, Susan McDonald says, was a natural progression, given their business of growing chrysanthemums and pumpkins. In other words, the McDonalds already had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.

Using pencil and graph paper, Susan designed their first maze, a jack-o-lantern. “We had no idea what we were doing, and we were broke,” she says. The next year, the maze was a John Deere tractor, chosen, Susan says, because the corn was green. The third year, they created Noah’s Ark. That season kicked them into another level, corn maze-wise, Susan says. Now they welcome 10,000 to 12,000 visitors each year.

This year’s maze design is the Three Billy Goats Gruff, because one of the McDonalds’ two sons raises goats. “Baby goats are the cutest things ever,” Susan says. She stressed that her family’s fall festival isn’t scary. “Nothing haunted,” she says. Activities include a basketball grain wagon, backyard Twister, a bounce pad, child-size tractors, and doughnuts.

What’s more, James McDonald’s father called himself “Old McDonald,” and after he died, his son assumed the title.

Susan and James McDonald of McDonald’s Greenhouse in Zanesville created their first corn maze 17 years ago.

But the impressive compound has a darker side, too. It was the site of a Lizzie Borden-like murder scandal in 1896, when teenager Ceely Rose murdered her family in a misguided effort to capture the love of a neighbor boy. The rural setting conjures up plenty of other eerie lore, cemented in long-dead legends and myths. As a matter of fact, Malabar Farm — now an Ohio state park — has

been called one of the 10 most haunted places in America. That’s why park naturalists are resurrecting the popular Haunted Hikes this month: creepy, outdoor explorations of ghostly tales and whispered legends shared on three autumn Sundays.

“We get into some supernatural legends and myths from Native Americans and early settlers,” she says, “including tales of Bigfoot and Windigo, and folklore of giants and rolling heads and little beings that live in the woods. On top of that, there are the local tragedies — like the Rose

Just over a rise in scenic Richland County, Malabar Farm appears in the distance — a stately, historic (and sprawling) main house, rolling hills and fields, and an inviting white barn with horses grazing nearby. The bucolic setting has an intriguing history as the one-time home of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Louis Bromfield and the swanky-yetisolated setting for Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall’s 1945 wedding.

The free, two-hour walks at dusk take visitors along the lanes by the park’s restaurant, the Big House, the cemetery, and the Ceely Rose House — and reveal tales scary enough that naturalist Lori Morey says they’re geared to adults and older teens.

He says professional “ghost hunters” have canvassed the house and barn and spent the night in the farm’s cemetery. People on tours have pulled him aside and told him the rooms give them sudden feelings of sadness. One woman kept fidgeting during a tour and later said that spirits of the Bromfield dogs (he had 70 boxers over the years) were bothering her.

murders. It can all be pretty scary, especially as you’re walking along the dark woods.”

Indoor spots around the farm also offer oddities yearround that might send a chill up your spine. Daily tours explore the 13,000-square-foot main house, the barn, the restaurant, and the tiny cemetery — all of which have been known to elicit odd occurrences, according to tour guide Mark Sommer, who’s been showing folks around the farm for 13 years.

At the park’s restaurant, staff members and servers have been rattled by glasses suddenly breaking or doors locking unexpectedly behind them.

Morey has also heard tales of visitors seeing other-worldly beings. “While I was leading a tour upstairs in the house, a lady says she saw the spirit of a tall man standing in the corner and nodding along. I suppose it was Bromfield approving of my story.”

Haunted Hikes will take place Oct. 16, 23, and 30 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. They are free but require registration. Call 419-892-2784 for details and to register.

Owner’s ‘dream town’ brings a bit of the Old West to southern Ohio.

Owners Mike and Sharlene Montgomery stay in character while manning the saloon.

More than 30 buildings sit on 2 acres at Dogwood Pass, offering a full day of activities for visitors.

Continued on page 34

The saloon came first in 2010, and today more than 30 buildings occupy a 2-acre tract at the Montgomery farm. There’s a general store, a jail, a bank, a photography studio complete with vintage costumes, an undertaker, a

OCTOBER 2022 • OHIO COOPERATIVE LIVING  33

Owner Mike Montgomery says he didn’t set out to build an attraction — he initially opened his dream town as a fundraiser to benefit a youngster with health problems. Similar events followed, and they drew large enough crowds that he and his volunteer helpers decided to open the gate to the public. “I’m a history buff,” he says. “My passion led me to build an Old West mining town right here on my farm — it is literally right here in my own back yard.”

The 1800s-era village stems from Montgomery’s longtime interest in the Old West and has gradually evolved with the support of his wife, Sharlene (who portrays heroine Calamity Jane), family members, and a legion of volunteers.

Volunteer Karen Taylor does a load of laundry, Old West style. Mike Montgomery prepares for the day’s show.

The Montgomerys were approached by organizers of the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Collectors Association after the previous museum in Portsmouth was damaged in a storm. Dodie Rogers Patterson, youngest daughter of the television stars, presided at the Dogwoodribbon-cutting.Passoffers

shooting gallery, a blacksmith shop, a combination church/school, Boot Hill cemetery, and the Montgomery Mining Company, where young and old alike can mine for gems on certain days.

The Prospector’s Kitchen, located near the show area, offers hamburgers, hot dogs, and snacks instead of standard cowboy fare like beans and hard tack. Over yonder, a bakery and candy emporium tempts visitors wanting something sweet.

The bath house, located a stone’s throw from the saloon, features a coffin-style traveling bathtub as well as a copper model that once belonged to the family of Frank and Jesse James. Although a handwritten sign boasts haircuts for 35 cents, shaves for 15 cents, and baths for 50 cents, there are no takers, according to volunteer reenactor Judy “Lady Maxine” Taylor.
