Built to last

For more than 80 years, electric cooperatives — and our business model — have proven to be resilient. In fact, most electric cooperatives are as vibrant and healthy today as at any point in our history. Much of this success can be attributed to the founding principles that electric cooperatives have adhered to through generations of members and cooperative leaders.

The relatively straightforward mission of electric cooperatives — at first simply to make electric service available, and now to also make it reliable and affordable — certainly has helped provide direction. Because we were founded by and for our local communities, we’ve been able to stay connected to the enduring values of the people we serve. Finally, the adoption of formal guiding principles has allowed us to adapt to changing circumstances and new challenges.

Probably the most powerful of these principles is the trust that democratic control by consumer-members will get it right. Even when a cooperative may occasionally stray off course, the democratic process has proven to be a selfcorrecting one. The fact that our service has become so essential to daily life means people will notice when the members’ needs are not being met. Electric cooperatives still serve largely rural communities, and that breeds a commonsense approach to most of the issues that we face, including a recognition that we can’t afford to squander the scarce resources we have available. It also means that we must remain politically engaged in issues that directly affect our members.

The term “resilience” seems often misused these days. It’s the ability to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions and, to me, “resilient” is what your electric cooperative was born to be. That resilience is how it continues to provide value through changing times and challenging circumstances.

Ohio State’s Center for Cooperatives is a resource for — and proponent of — co-ops everywhere.

BY PATTY YODER

When you think about cooperative businesses, what comes to mind? For most reading this, it’s probably the local electric cooperative. But there are lots of others: Agricultural cooperatives and credit unions are prominent, and the outdoor retail store REI is a cooperative that’s also widely recognized.

Ohio is home to a multitude of cooperative businesses, from the Village Bicycle Cooperative in Bay Village near Cleveland to the United Producers livestock market in Gallipolis and the beloved worker-owned Casa Nueva restaurant in Athens. In fact, close to 1,100 cooperatives

do business in the Buckeye State, including 452 that are headquartered here. Credit unions top the list with 228 branches, but Ohio’s cooperative scene extends well beyond financial institutions to purchasing, housing, art — even rock climbing.

Cooperative businesses can be found in and around just about every community; the proof lies in a map produced by and hosted on the website of Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The map was a yearlong project from the college’s Center for Cooperatives and is a testament to

OSU’s Center for Cooperatives works with businesses throughout the state. The team includes (from left to right) Melissa Whitt, program specialist; Hannah Scott, program director; and Samantha Black, program coordinator.

the center’s commitment to encourage business owners, legislators, researchers, and consumers to engage in and grow Ohio’s co-op economy.

The Center for Cooperatives opened in 2017 at OSU’s South Centers in Piketon. Faculty and staff work with businesses throughout the state with a focus on cooperative education, applied research, and support.

Program director Hannah Scott grew up in an agricultural community and says she appreciates the unique approach of how co-ops conduct business: The members own it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it.

“Our goal in this space is to help groups learn about business development and make informed decisions,” she says. “We’re a resource. We’re not here to tell them

what to do or to do the work for them.”

There’s a growing interest in cooperatives among younger people, as members and employees, she says, partly due to an increasing cultural focus in locally grown food and worker-owned businesses. The center also works with retiring business owners to see if they would consider transitioning their businesses to cooperative models.

In addition to the online map, the organization provides a Co-Op Mastery Workbook and Foodpreneur School — free training for students, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in cooperative businesses. The resources are also available on the center’s website.

In March, more than 30 high school students from Adams County participated in a co-op career fair at Ohio State’s Center for Cooperatives in Piketon with representatives from area co-ops, including Adams Rural Electric Cooperative and South Central Power Company, who shared many of the ways students can launch careers in a cooperative business.

“We’re a resource. We’re not here to tell them what to do or to do the work for them.”

Continued from page 5

Although the Center for Cooperatives is relatively new, it’s based on a timeless idea with a deep history in Ohio’s agricultural economy. According to Thomas Worley, the center’s director, the program adds efficiencies that help streamline the work of existing agencies. For several years, Worley taught an undergraduate course about agricultural cooperatives, for which Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives’ own Doug Miller, VP of statewide services, was a regular guest speaker. Now, Scott teaches the course and continues inviting Miller to share the rural electric co-op story.

Although he was integral in developing the center, Worley says he does not consider himself a founder. He believes that credit goes to several faculty members who were committed to the idea of a business model that exists to serve members.

“We stand on the shoulders of several instrumental agricultural economists, starting with OSU’s Dr. Charles H. Ingraham and his passion for cooperative businesses and their impact on communities.”

Both Worley and Scott agree that one of the best things about cooperatives is that members can make suggestions that are heard and create change to improve products and services. They also believe co-op members find value in getting involved through volunteering, serving on committees, or joining the boards of directors.

ASSASSIN NATURE’S

BY W.H. “CHIP” GROSS

There is a pair of serial killers on the loose in the hinterlands of Ohio. The male, with his weasel-like face and small, black, beady eyes, looks menacing; his girlfriend, similar in appearance but only about half his size, is just as bloodthirsty.

A modern-day Bonnie and Clyde? Well, not exactly; you won’t see their pictures on a wanted poster on the wall at the post office. They’re American mink — and the Buckeye State is full of them.

Of course, humans have little to worry about from mink, as they weigh only a pound or two. But they are such fierce, aggressive carnivores that they regularly take down animals twice their size — muskrats, for example.

In general, the weasel family has a dubious reputation, particularly its scientific subfamily Mustelinae, which in Ohio includes not only mink but also ermines, least weasels, and long-tailed weasels. Adding to this foursome’s loathsomeness is the fact that they smell bad, emitting a strong, musky odor from anal scent glands, which they use for marking territory or attracting a mate.

A mink hunting along a river or stream bank is the epitome of high-energy efficiency. Using a combination of its eyes, ears, and nose, the mink intensely investigates absolutely every hole, nook, and cranny for potential prey. And once an unfortunate victim is located, the mink attacks immediately and with great speed. Biting the prey animal behind the head or back of the neck with needle-like incisors, the mink then wraps its body around the victim and tenaciously holds on with its feet and legs until the animal dies.

But what mink are most notorious for is what wildlife biologists call “surplus killing,” slaughtering more animals than they can possibly eat at any one time. It’s many a farmer who has had a mink slip into the henhouse overnight and kill every last chicken. Sally Carrighar, in her classic 1945 nature book titled One Day at Teton Marsh, describes the behavior.

“He [the mink] must constantly spend his energy … to stop other animals’ lives … find the motion of fish, mouse, frog, bird, or other creature and end it! A few he would eat; more would be cached.”

Biologists are quick to caution against anthropomorphizing — attributing human traits, characteristics, or thoughts to animals, wild or domestic. For instance, mink do not kill with malice; it’s simply what they do, how they’re genetically wired to function in the wild. No matter what we humans may think, mink and other predators have important roles to play in the natural world.

Considered a valuable furbearer, mink have been sought for centuries throughout North America for their extremely soft, luxurious, chocolate-brown pelts, and Ohio is a top producer. The annual trapping season begins early in November and lasts through late winter, when pelts are most prime.

Mink are common statewide, but are not easily spotted, as they’re mainly nocturnal and crepuscular (active at night, dawn, and dusk). Your best bet to catch a glimpse is to keep your eyes peeled while hiking near the shores of water sources: rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, swamps, marshes, etc. If you are lucky enough to catch a quick glimpse of this small, semiaquatic predator, it probably won’t be for long, as mink are secretive and seldom spend much time in any one area.

A r t i st in residence

Co-op member brings his internationally acclaimed artistry to rural setting.

BY MARGO BARTLETT; PHOTOS COURTESY OF MAC WORTHINGTON

AMac Worthington piece of art is almost instantly recognizable. Worthington’s work (he’s best known for his metal sculpture) can be found in public, private, and corporate collections across the country and around the world. His unique cityscapes, flags, urban landscape paintings, and modern interior decoration have captured the attention of the art community since even before he opened his gallery in the Short North arts district of Columbus 35 years ago.

“Here’s what I think it is,” Worthington says. “Most — not all, most — guys that are doing metal sculptures and making functional art came from a welding background, from fabricating sheet metal. I was the artist first, and had to learn to weld.”

And just as he taught himself welding, he also taught himself to build frames and stretch canvases when he took up painting. “That’s what it means to be self-taught,” he says. “You learn this stuff as you need it.”

Worthington was born in Canton, the son of artists. His father, Jack, made many of the bronze busts in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His mother, Marion, worked with enamel and silver.

Before turning to art, Worthington built washing machines, served in Vietnam, and worked for a finance company — all good experiences that proved useful when he opened his own galleries.

His current gallery is unlike most of those from his past, and certainly night-and-day different from the one he operated in the Short North for 35 years. Right before the pandemic, he decided to relocate to Ostrander in Delaware County, where he’s a member of Mount Gileadbased Consolidated Cooperative. “It wasn’t a decision; it was just luck,” he says. “But it’s worked out fine.”

His Houseman Road property is replete with trees and sculptures. He hires high school students to clean the artwork. And now, he has only to step out his front door to

give visitors a tour of his shop, his studio, his gallery, and the sculpture park that’s also his yard.

The art and the visitors’ parking lot suggest a public park, and passersby frequently pull in to take a walk. When that happens, Worthington often offers the full tour. That includes the gallery, a space packed with paintings, metal works, and other pieces of the functional art he’s been known to create, including a table and chairs.

Guests may browse, flip through the stacked canvases, and consider a T-shirt featuring Worthington’s image, which looks like some sort of mashup of Einstein and John Lennon; he resembles them both.

With the more spacious location, visitors not only can see his artwork, they can observe the process as well.

In his shop — a little shed that grew — stands a recently finished sculpture, a piece that suggests a silver musical note hanging in midair or a dancer holding a pose. Nearby, a multicolored waterfall of paint has been allowed to drip and dry on the edge of a workbench, and the contrast between the paint ribbons and the sculpture is stark.

Is the sculpture standing in his shop waiting for paint? “Oh no, it’s done,” Worthington says. How does he know when a piece is done? Worthington shrugs.

“At some point, you just have to stop,” he says.

It was during his time in the Short North that he took up painting. “Everybody there’s a painter,” he says, “so I bought some supplies and said, ‘Well, we’ll see.’” Worthington, now in his mid-70s, does more painting than sculpture these days. He paints abstracts and cityscapes,

flowers and butterflies, hearts and faces. He creates as the spirit moves him.

But, as a working artist and an interior decorator, he also knows it’s a business. “People say, ‘I like this, but …,’” he says, as in “But they want it in blue; but they want it bigger; but they want it smaller.”

“I do this for a living. It isn’t a hobby,” he says. “I have to do what people like,” he says. “This is something for you; I’m not making this for me.”

Reader’s recipe inspires hungry diners to put a foot in their mouth.

Never let it be said that Rae Hruby let a holiday pass without cooking something specific to the occasion.

St. Patrick’s Day, for example, is an occasion to set up a fruit tray arranged like a rainbow; red, white, and blue themes rule the table on Independence Day. But on Halloween: Bring out the Feetloaf.

Hruby’s horror-movie-prop-turned-main-course took top honors in Ohio Cooperative Living’s annual Reader Recipe Contest; this year’s theme was “Spooky,” and Feetloaf certainly fit the bill, earning her an Ohio-made KitchenAid stand mixer.

“I’ve just always done my themed foods,” says Hruby, who lives in Grafton, where she and her husband, Paul, are members of Wellington-based Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative. “I took four years of foods classes in high school, and I’ve always enjoyed doing creative things with food.”

Part of that passion for creative cuisine has been inspired by her love of cooking with and for kids — her own and any others who happen to stop by the house. She and Paul have a grown daughter, Lauren, and a son, Dmitry, 15, so she’s been cooking for kids for quite a while now.

“We always had neighbor kids who came over to go trick-or-treating, and I always tried to make sure they had some real food before they went out,” she says.

Meatloaf, she says, was a natural because of its

versatility to feed a few or a group. And of course, she couldn’t make just a plain old loaf.

“You know, it’s basically just a slab of meat, but with the ketchup, it doesn’t take much imagination to create a body part, and a foot was just fun,” she says. “That just happened to be what I was working with at the time — it could have been spaghetti worms, or really any number of things.”

Cynthia Boles of Lithopolis, a member of Lancaster-based South Central Power Company, took runner-up honors in this year’s contest with her Batty Spinach Balls.

“It’s a recipe that’s been in the family forever,” Boles says. “It’s one of the few vegetable dishes that we never had any trouble getting the kids to eat. We serve it all the time, though we don’t dress it up for Halloween when it’s out of season.”

She says her mother, Rose, first came up with the original recipe, but she’s adapted it for a busy lifestyle by making it with boxed stuffing mix, and made it a spooky Halloween favorite with the simple addition of blue tortilla chips for bat wings. Her sons, Jacob, now 23, and Nathan, 22, and her husband, Bill, still gobble them up whenever she makes them.

The dish is plenty versatile as well. Boles serves the spinach balls as either an appetizer or a side dish, and the recipe is adaptable to account for spice preferences. “We usually make two batches: one hot and one not,” she says. “Me, I like a little kick.”

ENERGY EFFICIENCY TIPS

UNLOCKING YEAR-ROUND COMFORT AND SAVINGS

The power of geothermal heating and cooling systems

Did you know there is an abundant source of energy in the ground that can be used to heat a house in the winter, cool it in the summer, and provide some free hot water?

You just need to tap into it.

Geothermal heating and cooling systems are extremely energy efficient and generally provide the lowest utility bills of any residential heating and cooling system. They tap into the renewable energy from the ground and can provide significant savings on utility bills.

Geothermal systems possess remarkable efficiency due to their distinctive operation. While they function similarly to standard heat pumps, they differentiate themselves by exchanging heat with the ground rather than relying on the fluctuating outdoor air temperature. Unlike the outdoor air, which experiences significant variations from day to night and extreme differences between the coldest winter night and hottest summer day, geothermal heat pumps maintain a consistent level of efficiency and heat output. This consistency allows them to effectively extract heat from the ground, regardless of the outside temperature, surpassing the performance of traditional heat pumps.

To capture the heat energy from the ground in the winter and disperse heat during the summer, a series of pipes is buried in the ground or placed at the bottom of a pond. An environmentally friendly water solution running through the pipe acts as the heat transfer medium.

During the summer, a regular heat pump or air conditioner loses efficiency and cooling output when the outdoor temperature rises. Unfortunately, this is when your house requires the greatest cooling capacity.

Geothermal systems are extremely quiet, because there’s no outdoor equipment to bother your neighbors or your family at night. This also reduces wear and tear from constant exposure to outdoor weather.

When it comes time to replace that worn-out heating and cooling system in your home, take a closer look at a geothermal system and see if geothermal will meet your needs.

Pioneer Electric has incentives to install a system, plus the federal government offers a federal tax break. If you do not know whom to call, Pioneer has a list of qualified dealers on our website, www. pioneerec.com.

Ted’s Tip: Remember, always try to get at least three quotes before you make your final decision.

Places of rest

The garden cemetery movement created the country’s first public parks — and Ohio’s are stunning.

BY MARGO BARTLETT

In the early 19th century, public city parks were virtually nonexistent. That doesn’t mean, however, that there was no green space in urban areas.

In fact, cemeteries were commonly found within the city limits of even the largest of cities. Most were in churchyards, where bodies were lined up with soldier-like precision to make the most efficient use of available land.

Around that time, Europe embraced a different concept. Instead of a precise grid of graves lined up row by endless, nondescript row and sometimes even stacked upon one another, “garden cemeteries” were designed with trees, ponds, and winding paths. They became places where the living could enjoy a visit, a stroll — even a picnic if they wished.

The trend quickly made it across the pond, and parklike cemeteries began popping up in the eastern U.S. and, before long, in Ohio.

Ohio’s urban garden cemeteries are some of the country’s most distinctive memorial parks, and stunning examples can be found in nearly every population center. Here are three that are particularly outstanding and accessible.

Lake View Cemetery

Garden cemeteries like Cleveland’s Lake View “were made for the living,” says CEO Katharine Goss. Early on, though, only people who owned burial lots could enter Lake View, founded in 1868. A ticket booth stood at the entrance. Now anyone is welcome to visit, and anyone may be interred there.

“Lake View is an all-walks-of-life place,” Goss says. One of Lake View’s most appealing aspects, Goss says, is the “natural layout … winding roads, big tree canopies. You walk in and you immediately feel your blood pressure go down.”

Lake View’s 285 acres include a large pond, where people may choose to scatter ashes; Daffodil Hill, site of 150,000 daffodils; and walking paths and trails.

The cemetery hosts many events, including concerts, 5Ks, trolley tours, and twilight tours of “Millionaires Row,” whose occupants include Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller, the nation’s first billionaire. (Rockefeller’s obelisk is Lake View’s tallest memorial.) Seasonal programs, such as an October Owl Prowl and a December Winter Walk, also are offered.

Lake View memorial adviser Petronella Ragland says the cemetery is welcoming and busy. “People walk their dogs

here, they run, they walk,” Ragland says. (Bicycles, however, aren’t permitted.)

The Haserot Angel, which honors businessman and prominent Clevelander Francis Haserot, appears to be weeping black tears. Weathering is the scientific explanation for the bronze figure’s tears, but visitors nevertheless are startled and moved by the statue.

Disc jockey Alan Freed, credited with coining the term “rock and roll,” is memorialized with an intricately carved jukebox. Garret Morgan, inventor of the three-color traffic light and the gas mask, is at Lake View, as is Eliot Ness, the Prohibition officer who brought down Al Capone.

Two steps from Ness is underground comic book artist Harvey Pekar. His grave is blanketed by colorful pens and markers, each poked point-first into the soil.

The display is a spontaneous tribute by the artist’s friends and fans, Goss says. Groundskeepers try to keep leaves and other natural debris from tangling in the pens, but Goss gives Pekar’s widow primary credit for keeping the site tidy.

Raymond Chapman’s memorial also is laden with mementoes. Chapman, who played major league baseball for the then-Cleveland Indians, died when he was hit by a pitch in 1920. He remains the only major league player to be killed during a game.

Disc jockey Alan Freed’s memorial stone in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland is intricately carved to look like a jukebox.

Continued from page 23

Chapman’s fans leave many items on his stone. Caps, baseballs, coins, and a Beatles CD were there recently. Cemetery groundskeepers understand fans’ impulse to leave something. They also understand why others take things away.

Visitors don’t swipe mementoes out of malice, Goss says. They take them for the same reason others left them: because they cherish Chapman’s memory and want a keepsake.

Lake View Cemetery, 12316 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44106. Open 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. from November through the end of March and 7:30 a.m.–7:30 p.m. from April through the end of October. 216-421-2665, www.lakeviewcemetery.com.

Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum

The Cincinnati Horticultural Club chartered Spring Grove’s 220 acres in 1845, and future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Salmon P. Chase, who’s interred at Spring Grove, helped prepare the cemetery’s charter.

For the cemetery’s first 10 years, lot owners tended their own family plots, which made for quite the cluttered look. A new superintendent came on board in 1855, however, and “changed the flavor” of Spring Grove by removing graveside

decorations, private plantings, and even fences, says Debbie Brandt, docent liaison at Spring Grove.

He also drained a swampy area, created ponds, and “opened up the vistas,” Brandt says. Visitors in the Victorian Age soon flocked to Spring Grove to see and be seen.

Two of Spring Grove’s more notable spots are a pair of chapels: the Dexter Chapel and Mausoleum, designed to resemble Paris’ La Sainte-Chapelle but never completed despite a staggering $100,000 being spent on it; and the Gothic Norman Chapel, built in 1880 and still the site of funerals, weddings, and even concerts.

Architect Samuel Hannaford, known as “the man who built Cincinnati,” is interred at Spring Grove, along with several names familiar to retail junkies, including Shillitos, McAlpins, and Kroger. Both William Procter and James Gamble are there; Procter’s grave is modest and unassuming, while Gamble’s features a towering obelisk. Brandt theorizes that Procter’s first wife died, and the family lot was created, before the company had risen to obelisk-worthy success.

Also at Spring Grove: mattress manufacturers George Stearns and Seth Foster; yeast maker, Cincinnati mayor, and Reds owner Julius Fleischmann; third baseman

The distinctive and stately Burnet Mausoleum sits in section 22 of Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati.

Henry Knight “Heinie” Groh, who played from 1912 to 1927, mostly for the Cincinnati Reds and New York Giants; and, maybe, George Turner’s dog.

A story claims that Turner’s dog, Old Man, was buried with his master, thanks to an amiable superintendent. Brandt notes that Ohio law forbids animals from being interred in human cemeteries and no records verify the story. “So I can’t say yes or no,” she says.

Living dogs, normally also forbidden on the grounds, are welcome each Dog Day, held on the fourth Sunday in June. Other events include an annual Lantern Lighting, when participants send paper lanterns, illuminated by tea candles, afloat on a pond, and an annual car show in October. Brandt says 25 docents lead tours — on foot, by golf cart, or on trams — that focus on topics such as history and heritage, the cemetery’s circus connections, or “Movers and Shakers of Cincinnati.” One of the most popular is the Beer Barons Tour in August, featuring wellknown brewers such as Christian Moerlein.

Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum, 4521 Spring Grove Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45232. Open 8 a.m.–6 p.m. daily. 513-681-7526, www.springgrove.org.

Green Lawn Cemetery

When Green Lawn Cemetery opened in Columbus in 1849, occupants of older nearby graveyards were relocated there. Adrianne Reese, a Green Lawn family service adviser, says those existing urban burial grounds had been overcrowded and landlocked, so “everybody was moved over here.”

Green Lawn was chartered during a cholera outbreak. First to be interred was cholera victim Leonora Perry, 7, who was buried two days before the cemetery’s grand opening. Another cholera victim, Dr. Benjamin Gard, who contracted the disease while tending patients at the penitentiary, soon followed.

Howard Daniels designed the cemetery to complement the site’s natural beauty. It’s a registered arboretum and is an Ohio Audubon Important Bird Area.

Randy Rogers, Green Lawn Cemetery Association executive director and a tireless cemetery worker, praises Daniels and his foresight.

“We’re unique,” Rogers says. “We still preserve 200-year-old trees that had been preserved by ranchers” who owned the land before Green Lawn existed.

Green Lawn’s 360 acres are home to five Medal of Honor recipients, five governors, and 6,000 veterans.

Writer and cartoonist James Thurber’s marker is flush with the ground, as are those of his family. The only

monument in the plot honors a Thurber dog, Muggs, who was immortalized in Thurber’s story, “The Dog That Bit People.” A sculpture of Muggs, looking peevish, is above the engraving, “Nobody knew exactly what was the matter with him. Cave Canem.”

“Little Georgie” is another well-loved grave. George Blount was 5 years old in 1873 when he fell off a banister and hit his head on a stove. His memorial shows him sitting, one leg tucked under the other, a cap in his lap. Visitors once dressed the statue in scarves and hats in cold weather. Now, Green Lawn asks donors to bring such items to the office, to be donated, instead.

For years, Georgie was thought to be interred alone, Rogers says. Recently, however, his father’s military grave was found behind the child’s monument and his mother is in an unmarked grave next to him.

World War I fighter pilot Eddie Rickenbacker is at Green Lawn, as are Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes; Samuel P. Bush, grandfather of President George H. W. Bush; Peter Sells, a Sells Circus co-owner; and Gordon Battelle, founder of Battelle Memorial Institute.

Green Lawn Cemetery, 1000 Greenlawn Ave., Columbus, OH 43223. Open 7 a.m.–7 p.m. in the summer and 7 a.m.–5 p.m. in the winter.

614-444-1123, www.greenlawncemetery.org.

“Little Georgie” Blount’s Green Lawn grave inspires visitors to donate hats and scarves during cold weather.

Think of it as the Halloween version of a good oldfashioned Soap Box Derby.

At the annual Chillicothe Halloween Festival, teams of T-rexes, various ghosts and ghouls, and even Cleopatra and her Egyptian slaves vie for bragging rights and prizes in an event that features athleticism, sportsmanship — and the occasional out-of-control coffin.

The festival’s popular coffin races take place this year at 2 p.m. on Oct. 15, along Alexandria Street in the heart of the community’s Yoctangee Park. It is just one of many offerings during the event, which runs Oct. 13 to 15.

The coffin races debuted at the festival in 2017 after a committee member saw something similar on a program showcasing how communities nationwide celebrate Halloween.

“It has certainly been a hilarious sight to see,” says festival vice president Adam Days. “Families and friends work together, and nobody knows what costumes participants will be wearing.”

Tonya Hartman, a member of Rio Grande-based Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative, started racing five years ago and plans to keep coming back.

“My entire family loves Halloween,” she says. “This is something we can all do.”

The rules of the event specify wood or plastic construction (with the exception of push bars and wheels), no steering mechanism (though wheels may swivel for easier turning) — and absolutely no propulsion other than pushing by the teams. Hartman says that after a bit of a learning curve her first two years, her team has become rather skilled at creating a racing coffin that’s aerodynamic as well as fun.

The top three finishers win cash prizes. Hartman and her team came close to the top prize a couple of times, and each time poured their prize money into the following year’s entry.

Finally, their T-bone team, inspired by the movie Grease, raced to top honors last year as Tonya rode in a coffin

Halloween festival’s unique races challenge teams, delight spectators.

outfitted with cushions and a fabric-appointed interior, pushed by her husband, Andrew Hartman; brother-inlaw, Chad Hartman; and nephew, Holden Hartman. She says the prize money last year went toward Halloween decorations for their homes.

Casey Demint, head of Team Demint, depends on his wife, Miranda, relatives Tim and Lindsey Demint, and co-worker Josh Walter to do their best maneuvering the course.

“Each year is a learning experience as we scope out the competition,” Demint says. As of late August, Team Demint was still deciding on this year’s costumes. Members have previously arrived at the starting line dressed as skeletons, vampires, and zombies. Their coffin usually bears cobwebs and spiders for a spooky look.

“I haul the coffin to the festival in the back of my pickup truck,” Demint says. “You should see all the strange looks I get.”

The number of spectators has grown each year, according to Days, and since crowds begin lining up hours before the event, it’s best to get there early to stake out the best viewing spots.

For complete rules and regulations for the coffin races, as well as information about the festival’s other events, including a haunted tent, costume contest, car show with trunk-or-treat, escape rooms, pumpkin drop, music, and food, see www.chillicothehalloweenfestival.com.

Each year, teams of Halloween hopefuls line up with their best coffin-racing gear to compete for a $500 top prize at the Chillicothe Halloween Festival, this year from Oct. 13 to 15 at the city’s Yoctangee Park.

Beetle alert

Got trees? Most co-op members do. If you’re among that group, the U.S. Department of Agriculture wants you to be on the lookout for yet another invasive insect species attacking woods in the Buckeye State: the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB).

So far, more than 100,000 trees nationwide have been removed due to ALB infestation and damage, and if left unchecked, the damage will only become worse.

The ALB is a wood-boring bug that attacks a dozen types of hardwood trees in North America, including maples, elms, buckeyes, birches, and willows. Infested trees do not recover. They then weaken and become safety hazards, especially during storms, and

eventually die.

In its larval stage, the ALB feeds inside tree trunks and the branches of trees, creating tunnels as it feeds. Adults then chew their way out during the warmer months of the year, leaving telltale round exit holes about the size of a dime or slightly smaller. Once the adults exit a tree, they feed on its leaves and bark before

If you think you’ve found a beetle or tree damage, call the ALB hotline at 866 -702 -9938 or submit a report at www.asianlonghornedbeetle.com. Try to photograph the beetle or tree damage. If you can, capture the beetle in a durable container and freeze it, which helps preserve the insect for identification, then report it. In addition, don’t relocate ALB host materials, such as firewood.

It is possible to eradicate the Asian longhorned beetle. To date, the ALB program has eradicated beetle infestations at East Fork State Park and Stonelick and Monroe townships in Clermont County, as well as in areas of New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Illinois.

Power to the people

BY RANDY EDWARDS

In the fall of 1935, in the depths of the Great Depression and the dawning of the New Deal, a young executive from the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet Morris L. Cooke, director of the Rural Electrification Administration — a program crucial to the success of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s firstterm economic recovery effort.

The rural electrification cause had helped FDR win the White House, and U.S. farmers were clamoring for power. The Farm Bureau wanted to help, and the organization sent its first executive secretary, Murray D. Lincoln, on a fact-finding mission to Washington months before Congress approved the government loan program to support Roosevelt’s vision.

The initial meeting didn’t go so well, as Lincoln remembers in his autobiography, Vice President in Charge of Revolution

Shown into his office, I told him that we of the Farm Bureau wanted to avail ourselves of the benefits of this legislation and set up our own utility plants.

“What do you know about the utility business?”

Mr. Cooke asked.

“Nothing,” I admitted cheerfully. “I was trained in dairying and animal husbandry.”

The story may well have been embellished for dramatic effect, but it captures the essence of what history remembers of Murray Lincoln: brash, confident to the point of hubris, and proud of his farm roots.

Born in 1892 on a small Massachusetts farm, Lincoln became a leader of the cooperative movement in the United States. He began his career as a county agent in New England in 1914, fresh out of agricultural college, urging farmers to organize associations to produce their own fertilizer and market their own milk.

Cooperatives, Lincoln believed, represented “something that prevents the average man from being smothered between Big Business and Big Government.”

He became the first executive secretary of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in 1920 and led the organization into a variety of cooperative enterprises, from grain elevators and farm credit to auto insurance.

As an agent of change for farmers’ lives, however, Lincoln’s most significant undertaking was probably helping to launch the electric cooperative movement in Ohio. President Roosevelt, who believed access to electricity was essential to modernizing rural America, got the ball rolling in 1935 with an executive order establishing the REA. It had been half a century since the Edison Electric Illuminating Company built the

first electric grid to light Manhattan, and by 1930 more than 90 percent of U.S. homes in cities and towns had electricity, along with a growing selection of electricpowered appliances.

The story was different in rural America. Roughly 33 million Americans lived on farms in 1935, and their lives were distinctly different from those in urban areas. The majority lacked indoor plumbing and used outhouses, and fewer than one in five farm homes were connected to the electricity grid. Farmers milked their cows by kerosene lamp in the morning darkness and did most of their chores in the daylight.

It wasn’t that farmers didn’t want electricity. The private, investor-owned utility companies of the time refused to extend service into sparsely populated farm country, saying it wasn’t cost-effective. But they weren’t excited about the New Deal program either. Morris and the rest of FDR’s team originally believed they would accomplish electrification with the help of private companies, but the utilities balked. In Ohio, they pressured the General Assembly to block enabling legislation that would have allowed the federal funds to flow to the states.

Lincoln and the Farm Bureau offered to set up rural electric cooperatives, which unleashed a battle with the private utilities that the coops eventually won, but not without political gamesmanship and wild tactics that Lincoln, who could be a bit pugilistic, seems to have relished. The private utilities managed to push legislation through the Ohio General Assembly that prevented the co-ops from crossing established

utility lines, and then deliberately strung lines — as fast as possible — over the cooperatives’ planned routes.

Sometimes, the private utilities didn’t bother to secure rights-of-way from landowners, Lincoln recalled, and many of those landowners were farmers.

“When the poles went up, the farmers got together and chopped them down. The utility people came back and put them up again and, again, the farmers chopped that down.”

Despite the drama, Lincoln and his farm partners established more than 20 cooperatives within months, moving much faster than other U.S. states. As a result, Ohio received more than $5 million of the first $5 5 million approved by the REA.

A new subsidiary, the Farm Bureau Rural Electrification Cooperative, Inc., was formed to oversee the buildout. They bought their power from municipal power plants and built the lines at less than half the cost of the private companies. By 1937, the cooperatives had more than doubled the percentage of farm homes connected to central electricity. A dozen years later, more than 90 percent of farms had power.

By then, the Farm Bureau was no longer involved, having passed the baton, in 1942, to a new, independent organization, Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives, Inc. Today, 25 electric cooperatives serve more than 400,000 homes and businesses in 77 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

“I believe that the rural electric cooperatives … are among the most dramatic demonstrations of the power of the cooperative concept that this country has ever seen,” Lincoln wrote in his autobiography, “and I am proud to say that I had a share in their conception, beginnings, and early days.”

Murray Lincoln talks insurance with members of the Ohio Farm Bureau, circa 1927.
