Our Mane Stay Cabin for Horse Lovers!!
I could sit here and complain about my gardens flooding ... or the grass getting too tall to cut because it’s too wet ... or how tired I am of the rain. But, in all reality, I have nothing to complain about. There are so many that have lost so much more, than I really can’t complain about anything. I have cousins who lost their entire homes to flooding. As a magazine, we have advertisers that are close to being out of business because of flooding, the damages to some is just horrendous. We even have friends who no longer know where their houseboat is because of the flooding. Just terrible.

So, I won’t complain about a single thing. •••••• School has begun. Whoa! It starts so early here, but then again, the kiddos get out pretty early in the year as well. Everyone needs to remember to be extra cautious because there will be kids getting on and off busses, crossing roads to get to school or home ... just be extra aware.You never know when you’ll go around a corner driving and find a stopped school bus, so even if you don’t have kiddos in school, you still have to be extra aware. •••••• Our annual ‘vacation’ is coming up soon. As much as I’d like to go and camp out at every single festival in the area, we just can’t both be away from the farm at the same time. So, we mark this week every year on the calendar and we head to Poppy Mountain. Sure, we still work from there .... I’m never far from my email. But, we also take that time to do our relaxing. We don’t do a whole lot of relaxing, so it’s really something we look forward to. If you are up there, stop by our campsite. We put an All Things Country sign up on the end of the camper, so
you can find us. We’re out on the Bass Fiddle part of the campground. •••••• And, of course, I cannot end this without mentioning my Plexus journey.Yes, some may be tired of hearing about it ... but honestly, I just love to share the testimonies that I hear every single week about these products. I continue to lose inches off my body and it just amazes me. I’m shooting for the same size I was at age 20. Silly me. I must say though, when I hear testimonials very rarely do they include weight loss. Or at the very least, it’s menioned last.You see, Plexus seems to help you from the inside out. It helps with symptoms from Leaky Gut Syndrome, which is absolutely awful to learn about. Google it and see what you find. It will scare you. And for those that think it’s too expensive, there are options to get it at wholesale. But, from what we’ve saved in pop, chocolate bars and other junk food, it’s about leveled itself out. And there are some Ambassadors in the Plexus family that simply

Well, Happy August to ya! As they would say in Kentucky .... shew! It’s already August.Yes, that much closer to Christmas and the end of another year. I’m guessing if we didn’t have so much weather to contend with this year, it might not seem like the year is almost gone. How many of you were glued to your televisions and listening to weather radios this past month? And I’d say 100% of you that answer yes are just plain tired of the rain too.

Cleanup is ongoing, and all campgrounds remain open except for Paragon and Claylick at Cave Run. Claylick has been closed since April after flood waters damaged the facility and took out the campground’s access road. Paragon is closed due to high water.

WINCHESTER – As progress was being made to clean up after record flooding, July storms have presented new challenges at recreation areas around Cave Run Lake and in the Red River Gorge. High winds caused numerous trees to fall at campgrounds and over roads and trails across the national forest, especially in the northern areas.

“We’ve been working hard all week to clean up debris and clear trees from these areas before weekend visitors arrive.” No injuries occurred during the storms, but a few tents and vehicles were reported damaged from fallen trees. “Some campers at Cave Run took shelter in restroom facilities during the storm. Others packed up and left before the storm got too bad,” said Kazmierski. The Gladie Visitor Center in the Red River Gorge was closed due to power outage but has reopened. Some trails in the Red River Gorge, especially in the Sky Bridge and Rock Bridge areas, are known to have fallen trees across the trail. Clearing the trails may take weeks or months. “When planning a trip to the national forest, we encourage our visitors to check the local weather forecasts before heading for the outdoors and pay attention to changing weather conditions. “With the ground already saturated, any additional rain or high winds we may experience in the near future could cause more flooding and more trees to fall. “Visitors should be aware at all times, avoid trees that may have partially fallen or have dangling limbs or branches, and avoid crossing flooded roads or trails.” For updated information, visitors may call the Cumberland Ranger District at 606-784-6428 or the Gladie Visitor Center at 606-663-8100.

WINCHESTER – It’s not ginseng harvest season, but that’s not stopping some people from taking this uncommon plant. U.S. Forest Service law enforcement officials have issued several citations over the last few months that require mandatory court appearances.
Ronnie A. Stamper, 37, of Sandy Hook, Ky., was recently sentenced for the illegal harvest of ginseng from the Daniel Boone National Forest. He was cited in August 2014 and again on July 2 for the same offense. Last week, Stamper pled guilty in federal court. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for each offense, with the sentences running concurrently. Ginseng is believed by many to contain medicinal properties that provide various cures. In some areas, the demand is greater than the supply. The illegal harvest and poor collection methods have eliminated or significantly reduced wild ginseng populations that were once abundant. “If the trend of illegal harvest continues, we could see a dramatic decline of ginseng in Kentucky,” said Forest Botanist David Taylor. “Ginseng root is being taken before the plants can develop seed for reproduction. Once these plants are gone, they’re not coming back.
“Ginseng populations are being decimated in some areas by
The legal harvest of ginseng in the Daniel Boone National Forest occurs over a two-week period, September 15-30. Individuals must have a valid permit, which allows for the collection of up to one pound of green, non-dried ginseng root. Only one permit is issued per person per year. The Forest Service does not issue forest-wide permits. The permits are sold at district offices, and they are valid only on the district where they are sold. Under U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regulations, ginseng roots collected must be from plants with at least three prongs and at least five years of age. The best way to determine age is by counting leaf scars at the top of the root before removing it from the ground. Ginseng harvesters are required to sow seeds from collected plants within 50 feet of the harvest location. On national forest lands, anyone removing forest products such as ginseng without a permit can be charged with unlawful taking under CFR 261.6h, resulting in up to a $5,000 fine and six months in jail. Some may also be prosecuted under the Lacey Act, a federal law that enforces civil and criminal penalties for the illegal trade of plants and animals. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture requires registration as a ginseng dealer. A dealer is anyone who buys ginseng for resale or sells in interstate commerce. The Kentucky state regulations and harvest season for ginseng are different from the rules that apply on the Daniel Boone National Forest.

River City Players Update
The Worst Day Ever
In April, River City Players community theater group was notified the “Heritage Tourism: Telling Estill County’s Story” project had been approved for funding through the 2015 KY-ARC Flex-E-Grant Program administered by Brushy Fork Institute at Berea College. An important component of this on-going project was the tution free Summer Theater Camp held at the Estill County Fair Grounds, July 13 - 17, 2015. RCP members and volunteers are working hard to gather our history and stories. Robert Martin, Community Arts Producer, patiently guided us on our journey to begin the creation of our unique story. Estill Countian, Donna Crow, worked her magic to create an original short play, Nothing To Do In This Town. Campers brought a “fact” about the county or their family and these facts were woven into the play as it was performed by 36 campers for family and friends at the conclusion of camp. RCP will host “Picnic at the Park”, at Veteran’s Park in Ravenna on September 4th. Bring your picnic and decorate your table or blanket in the theme of your choice. The gate will open at 5 pm, judging of tables and blankets at 6 pm. Entertainment will begin at 7 pm. The goal is to have the graduates of the Summer Theater Camp perform “Nothing To Do In This Town” as the highlight of the evening’s entertainment schedule. Open 7 Days A Week 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

Today was the absolute worst day ever And don’t try to convince me that There’s something good in every day Because, when you take a closer look, This world is a pretty evil place. Even if Some goodness does shine through once in a while Satisfaction and happiness don’t last. And it’s not true that It’s all in the mind and heart Because True happiness can be obtained Only if one’s surroundings are good It’s not true that good exists I’m sure you can agree that The reality Creates My attitude It’s all beyond my control And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that Today was a good day.

No Bake Energy Bites

On August 12, 1877, the phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison.
By far, the most common goal that patients state to me about their teeth is that they want to keep them. Sounds simple, but oftentimes people have in their memory banks recollections of their friends and family members who have missing teeth or no teeth at all. They have watched them struggle with dentures or partials and have decided that they don’t want to have to deal with that if possible. I also have several discussions with people who are dealing with teeth that are wearing, chipping, or breaking and they are fearful that they’re heading toward tooth loss. Tooth loss doesn’t have to be the inevitable, final result.
pattern of wear, tear and breakdown can be seen and sometimes felt. Similarly, a patient can also experience pain in the jaw joints, chewing muscles, or headaches which compare to some of the other effects that accumulate on a vehicle due to driving many miles out of balance. So, just as a car that is out of alignment can be corrected, there are often things that can be done to correct a bite that is in the process of wearing. Sometimes, the help of an orthodontist is needed. Other times, some treatment is needed that is geared toward replacing tooth structure that has been lost or destroyed. Every patient is different and so it’s extremely important that the treating dentist has an understanding of true bite stability as they investigate and diagnose the causes of the worn bite.
Dr. Adam Stowe, D.M.D.
One of the greatest needs for dental patients who want to keep their teeth and keep them healthy is a true understanding of a Stable Bite. At the most elementary level, a stable bite is free from tooth decay. Each individual tooth should have no evidence of tooth decay, whether it is one that has never had any treatment, or one that has had a filling or crown. Secondly, a stable bite is free from periodontal disease (gum disease). It doesn’t matter how healthy the individual teeth are if they are not held firmly in a healthy foundation of gum and bone. To be sure, most of my efforts on a day-to-day basis are spent on addressing these most basic elements of dental disease, tooth decay and periodontal disease. However, a third dimension of bite stability is often ignored or not understood at all by dentists. It relates to the bite forces that are exerted on the teeth everyday. Keep in mind, that a person’s upper and lower teeth come into contact with each other several hundred times per day. Each time this happens, a force is exerted on the teeth that contact each other and an effect is acquired. The question is: What is the effect? Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. It’s very resilient and difficult to break. If a person’s bite is healthy and balanced, the amount of wear that is visible over a normal lifespan of 80-90 or even 100 years should be very minimal. Therefore, if it’s obvious that a middle-aged or young person is showing signs of the teeth wearing (flattening, chipping, breaking), there is a problem. A simple, understandable analogy that I often use is that of tires on a car. Nobody questions whether or not a problem exists when they look at their tires and see uneven wear. In the worst cases, small shreds of rubber can be thrown off the tires and onto the back of the vehicle during normal driving if the balance is off. This same effect can be observed in a person’s mouth if the teeth are functioning (biting) incorrectly. A visible

I just love a festival. It’s something we didn’t get to experience very often before we moved to Kentucky and I must say, I wish I had the extra time to attend more of them. Just this past month we got to take in some of the Carter County Shriner’s Bluegrass Festival, held every year in Olive Hill. Yes, it’s dear to my heart because that’s where my ‘people’ come from. We had such a good time while we were there this year, visiting with so many people that we only get to see during these events. The music they offer at these festivals is hard to beat. Yes, you have to have a taste for bluegrass music, but I’ve found it was pretty easy to come by. The talent! Oh my. To sit and watch them play their instruments is just astounding. I’m still not sure how some of them get their fingers to pick so fast. There isn’t just music at a festival though. There is usually camping too, with good friends gathering at each other’s camp to catch up on what’s been going on since their last visit. You’ll see your friends and neighbors too, but more than that - you’ll see people from many of our surrounding states as well. Some of your more seasoned bluegrass fans try not to miss a single festival, and that means some traveling. These same people usually spend quite a bit of money in your communities too. They support our gas sta-

Joe Issaacs surprised the crowd at the Red Lick Valley Bluegrass Festival, held in Estill County in July.
We also got to go out to the Red Lick Valley Bluegrass Festival this past month. It was kind of bittersweet because the matriarch of the festival, Tracy Jenkins, passed away just a few months before the festival. His son and daughter in law did a wonderful job of making sure the festival was held, and many of the visiting groups on the stage made us aware of just how much Tracy and his wife are missed. Dave and I actually took the camper from the C2H2 Farm out there and stayed overnight on Friday and Saturday. Can I just say, what a view to wake up to each morning. The Red Lick Valley is absolutely gorgeous and you can see why it’s on the ‘must do’ list when visiting Estill County. Of course, our favorite festival is just around the corner. Good ole’ Poppy Mountain, up in Morehead, Kentucky. I distinctly remember my uncle Bobby Joe Hedge telling me the first year we were in Kentucky that we needed to go to Poppy Mountain. For about the first eight years, we didn’t listen to him. Shame on us. We have such fun up there. We camp with the same family that we met the first year, Charlie and Vanessa Moser from West Virginia. Yes, complete strangers they were …. family they’ve become. We’ve had such fun up on that mountain each year with them and their beautiful daughters. But, we also see lots of other people as well and it’s just so much fun to people watch.

August is National Peach Month
Third, select high quality seed of an adapted variety. Planting high quality seed is an essential step toward establishment and longevity of a pasture. These seeds have high percentages of germination, low percentages of weed seed and freedom from noxious weed seed.
Eric Baker
Estill County Extension Office
Fall is best time to establish coolseason forages
The period from late summer into early fall in Kentucky is the best time to establish the common cool-season grasses such as orchardgrass, tall fescue, timothy and bluegrass for pasture or hay. These four grasses make up 95 percent of pasture acreage. Many years of research have shown this time frame is the best opportunity for successful establishment. Mother Nature has a hand in this because seed produced in late spring remains dormant until late summer and then early fall rainfall provides the moisture necessary for the seed to germinate.
To increase your success rate, remember these four points:
First, address soil fertility needs. Take soil samples now to determine fertility needs and to give you enough time to supply the needed nutrients. Inadequate levels of phosphorous, potassium or limestone can limit the success of late-summer seedings. For pure grass stands, apply nitrogen at the rate of 40 to 60 pounds per acre. Second, control competition. Late-summer seedings most often fail from competition and lack of water. When you control existing vegetation with herbicides or tillage, the emerging seedlings will have access to whatever water and nutrients are present without having to compete with weeds. To maximize the success of seedings, use a burn-down herbicide to kill annual weeds. Translocated herbicides can be used where labeled to kill or suppress perennials such as johnsongrass.
Certified seed meets or exceeds minimum standards for purity, germination and quality. The certified seed should be from an “improved” variety adapted to your farm. “Improved” means the variety has been selected for improved yield, quality, persistence, disease resistance or other positive traits.
August is National Golf Month
Remember to wait two to three weeks after spraying translocated herbicides before you plant in no-till situations. This will allow time for killed weeds to dry out and for residual effects of the herbicide to decay.
Varieties greatly differ in yield, persistence, disease resistance and cost. Expensive varieties aren’t necessarily good, and the cheaper ones aren’t necessarily bad. If you’re uncertain about a variety’s adaptation and performance, you can obtain information on the leading performers in the University of Kentucky forage variety tests by contacting me at the Estill County Cooperative Extension Service (606-723-4557), or by going to the following website http:// www.uky.edu/Ag/Forage/ForageVarietyTrials2.htm. Then, scroll down to 2014 Tall Fescue Report; 2014 Timothy Report and 2014 Orchardgrass Report. You can find reports as far back as 2001 on this site. Fourth, seed at the proper time and depth. You should seed legumes and grasses before mid-September. Grasses are less sensitive to later seeding than legumes. The major cool season grasses will not do well if you simply broadcast them onto existing overgrazed or mowed pastures. Forages should be seeded no deeper than one-fourth to one-half inch. Late-summer alfalfa seedings are susceptible to sclerotinia stem and crown rot. If sclerotinia has been active in your area or farm, strongly consider waiting until next spring to seed. Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.

Memories .....
This year concludes my 21st year of teaching in the middle school (8th grade). I have LOTS of last day memories, but my favorite has got to be when I was in elementary school. My bus driver would always stop at the local grocery store and let the remaining 8-10 kids run in and buy a candy bar and/or drink. That has always been a WONDERFUL memory of mine. Thanks for allowing me to share. I know that bus drivers today cannot do this for their kids, but wouldn’t it be nice if they could? Such great memories!

August is Romance Awareness Month
By Brianna Gee of Carter County
We at times assume that once a trial is overcome and conquered that it will not reoccur. That we’ve learned the lesson needed to be taught and we move on to new battles. We expect that the unexpected will remain unexpected. I catch myself believing that some trials or experiences are like a check list, where once finished never gone back to and remain a memory. However, I recently had a change of heart. July 21, 2010 our home was taken away by a “once in a lifetime flood”. Our home wasn’t in a flood plain and at the time we had not had any flood insurance. Being told that it was to never occur again and the likelihood of something like that ever happening was so rare, we picked up the pieces and started all over: “a new beginning”. With the help of friends and family we rebuilt and restored and settled into the place we would forever call home. “Happily Ever After” we thought. However, there wasn’t a “the end”. July 14, 2015 we stood on the balcony of my grandfather’s house, which is located on a hill next to our home, and watched the unexpected reoccur. We watched the water rise and the rain drops flow as heavy as our tears. It’s a moment in time where there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent the damage. Everything you own is not in your control. My role was to take care of and nurture the children as my mother frantically tried to salvage as much as possible, for we had no idea how much damage would be done. I was scared, I will not hide that fact. But this flood accompanied a different feeling than the latter. I knew that we had once overcome this before and we could, with the
strength of the Lord, overcome it again. After the water lowered we analyzed the impact. Instead of 4 feet that occurred in 2010 there was 4 inches of water that entered the house. It was just enough to cause damage but not enough to make us dismount our blessings. We were thankful for the many items not affected. We were thankful for the pictures untouched and the memories salvaged. We are still thankful for loving friends and family that have so graciously offered their labor, home, and words of encouragement AGAIN through this hard time. I type these words while sitting in a home that is not mine. I type these words while a part of me still longs for a place to call my own and a bed that isn’t shared with a cousin or located on a couch. I type these words as a 16 year old girl who is at times weak and downhearted. I type these words in fear, but also in purpose. For I know, that my situation may at times be most definitely unpleasant and challenging but it is also one that I will grow from. The Lord will not give us more than we ourselves can not handle. I am strong. I am His daughter. And though the ground below me may wash away, I am still standing. I stand for Him. I stand for those that have lent a helping hand and I stand for my family who will endure and remain together through every long day, unexpected journey, and restless night. I know that there are others who may not have been as fortunate as ourselves and the rising waters affected their home and family much more. For those families, I send my love and empathetic prayers. May you never stop counting your blessings. For I know even a pair of shoes, a tube of toothpaste, or a a simple bar of soap can make a difference.

Berming up a spot or a whole section of a property can offer lots of potential options just not available with a flat yard. Many of my customers live in hilly terrain, but for those with flat yards, installing some humps or little hills in the yard can allow for more creative landscaping possibilities. Other benefits can be obtained with a berm. For instance, lines of sight can be obstructed for privacy, winds can be blocked, sounds can be blocked off, or on the other side of that equation sounds can be enhanced by doing something like putting a waterfall on the side of a berm facing the home or porch or patio or other resting spot. Berms offer many creative possibilities for some lovely landscaping. A simple definition of a berm is a raised dirt mound. It may be at the crest of a hill, at the foot of a slope, or off to the side of the middle in an otherwise flat yard. Though a berm would not have to be created from soil, one would be unable to plant the berm with lovely trees and shrubs or flowers without the berm being soil covered. Berms are thought of by industry and perhaps by municipalities as containment facilities quite often. Created to contain run-off water, or to contain a spill in the event of a ruptured storage tank or something. And berms may act as a dike or diversion barrier to keep water out of an area (I can imagine a berm on a slope just above your home to deflect water in a heavy rain for instance). Berms can simply be a raised planting bed, with good soil aiding in the establishment of new plantings. Such raised beds in a yard planted in suitable plants are lovely creations. But taller berms can not only be planted with hedges, trees and shrubs for a buffer from wind and noises, but the raised area itself can be a barrier to noise and winds. (Such a large berm will take more soil or other materials than you may imagine though, making it quite costly.)
Traffic can be steered by the use of berms. A short cut through the grass to the shed or mailbox may be handy, but may look unattractive, or even wear a path into an otherwise lovely lawn. Crossing a hill and dodging bushes makes cut-throughs less likely to happen. Raised areas offer teriffic opportunity for the landscaper to put in a focal point. A “specimen” tree, a large boulder, anything you’d like to raise up and show off. Flagpoles, treehouses, big rock outcropping could be things one might put on display. Substantial sized berms can create little microclimates, places you can put in a shade loving item on the side of the berm facing north or in the shadow of a tree that’s on top of the berm. From the sun-loving plants to those needing protection from strong winds, there may be ideal nooks created in a berm to use rare or unusual plants and have them thrive in just that specific spot. I love the possibilities; thinking about it gets me to dreaming of trying a plant or two that normally isn’t found in my area. Especially on level lots, adding some raised areas with irregular sweeping edges allows for added interest, and for changes in line of sight without necessarily having to use tall plants to accomplish the changes in height. A layered landscape planting may more easily be obtained with the background plants put on a pedestal, so to speak. Tallest landscape plants would be placed on the back of a berm usually, but for the best landscaped look from the other direction, the back side, it might be that you’d want the tallest plants to be right on top of the berm. The conclusion we can reach is that many interesting things can be done with a berm in the yard. There are no hard and fast rules, but you’d want a berm to be 4 or 5 times as wide as high to keep it from lookng too artificial. Also, flowing edges rather than straight or angular edges will look much more natural in most cases. No rules, but be mindful you don’t want to create an eyesore either.

A Start of a New Beginning By Brianna Gee of Carter County
“Dry August and warm doth harvest no harm”
A day without sunshine, do you know what that feels like? Every time I close my eyes I see it all over again. I still wonder if this will happen for a second time. So many things were happening at once and I couldn’t react at all. Why did this happen to me? How can so much rain come from such a little cloud? It started with a sprinkle, late Tuesday in July. My family and I were of course, sitting in the living room watching T.V. and did not think anything of the rain. We all went to bed and during this time it was pouring down outside. “Of course, just rain, it happens all the time. It will probably stop in the middle of the night,” we thought. So we dozed in our beds taking everything for granted. Soon, we woke up to my father screaming about how it was flooding outside and how the water was getting closer to the house. We thought he was crazy, but we did as he told. I hurried to grab my suitcase that I packed for vacation. I walked through puddles of water to get to my grandma’s house that was on a hill beside us. My dog was our family protector, trying to bark back the water. The air was muggy and I could taste the dirt in it. All I had to hold on to was the comforting hand of my mother. I watched in silence as the water rose into my house. In tears I thought, just maybe, for some possible reason, the water did not

get in, my use to be, perfect home. Life is not a fairytale and I realized that when everything was sadly being washed away. Why did everything have to change? My life was spinning like crazy and I could not change it. I could not sleep that night or the next. The pain took the light away from the day and the moon out of the night. I cried every day, wondering if it was a terrible nightmare, but I had to face the throbbing tears of reality. When all the rain stopped we were left with nothing to hold on to but each other. I was missing everything that I did not realize I had before. In May our church helped with the floods at Olive Hill. We saw how devastating and hard it was for those families to pick back up and get on their feet. We saw children that did not have any toys to play with and I realize that this is how my baby brother felt at this time. I thought this could never happen to me and nothing like that could ever happen again, but it did. It was so hard to see the tears of others and I know it was hard for other families to see mine. Then there was a miracle; we had friends and family come with arms of service. Now I am getting back into my home with memories of hard work given to my wonderful family. I learned to be thankful for what you have because in a matter of seconds it could be gone. I am so thankful to have people that love me and put time and effort into my home. I can now see the darkness of my world turning into light because the flood was a start of a new beginning for my family and me.

If the first week of August be warm, the winter will be white and long.
Chipmunks There’s this Black Walnut tree growing near my house. It’s about ten feet away from one of my bird feeders. At the base of the tree a hole has formed from some type of injury years ago, I suspect it’s from a logger back in the 1970’s dragging a log past the then-young Walnut and scraping the bark off of the base of the tree. The hole was there when I bought this property twenty years ago, and over the years it has become an entrance hole to the burrow home of a chipmunk, who enjoys scampering about the yard under my feeders picking up scattered birdseed and the occasional bird feather. All my life I’ve watched these fascinating critters, delighted in their energy and inquisitiveness, and learned quite a bit about them, and myself, in the process. There is a lot to learn from the chipmunk. Let me share with you a “nature detective” look at this perky little guy. The chipmunks we have here are really called Eastern Chipmunks. They are one of twenty five species of chipmunks in the world. Oddly, twenty four species are found in North America and Mexico, and only one is native to Asia. I’m sure you’ve seen them, scampering about in your yard, a park, or on a camping trip. They are often described as “affectionate” animals, people somehow just have a general liking for them. You only need to watch movies, cartoons, or read children’s books to see they are often portrayed as characters. Their antics are adorable; they are strikingly beautiful if you take a good, close look at them; and they are sociable and quickly become comfortable around humans.
By Bill Gordon Stanton, KY
The chipmunk’s house contains several neatly-kept rooms, each with special purposes. Far down in the burrow the lowest room is the toilet, a room used only for this purpose. There is a separate bedroom, often lined with oak leaves. Chipmunks seem to prefer oaks, and will carefully bite the stem off green leaves, partially dry them until they are leathery, then the leaves are rolled up and carried into the burrow. The semi-dried leaves are layered into a soft mattress, still soft and supple, but dry enough not to mildew or rot. Any dirty or rotting leaves will be removed from the burrow and carried away into the woods. They always keep their bedroom neat and clean. If the burrow belongs to a breeding female, she will also have a nursery room for her babies, lined with soft things like feathers, dandelion and milkweed fuzz, hair, or bits of moss. After a 31 day gestation, she will have 3 to 5 babies in May, and sometimes a second litter in July. She is a good housekeeper, and will keep all the rooms in her home neat and clean all the time. After 2 months the babies are full grown and taught to live on their own.
August 2015 -- www.atcky.com
One characteristic I really like about chipmunks is their ability to communicate. They talk a lot among family and community groupings, and will signal each other when any danger threatens. Males will “sing” to potential mates with a soft-spoken “kuk-kukkuk” musical song. And, when Chips meet each other outside the burrow, they sometimes gently press their noses together in greeting much like we kiss. A chipmunk will have at least two entrances to its burrow, and these are very cleverly made. They will never leave any trace of excavated dirt in a pile near the hole, and it will often be disguised near a tree root or rock, rotting log, or low plants. They hop carefully and erratically near home, and will not make any type of game trail to the entrance by using the same pathways repeatedly like many other animals do. Plants around the entrance will be carefully left alone and will never show any signs of nibbling, breaking, or being stepped on. Any food debris, waste, or dirt will be carried far from the burrow and scattered on the forest floor. And, the chipmunk will make what’s called a “listening post”: a shelf-like step just inside the tunnel where the chipmunk can sit and listen and observe what’s going on outside. That’s how the chipmunk knew exactly when the Dove got caught by the Peregrine Falcon and was able to immediately glean the feathers for a comfortable bed.
The chipmunk crosses this opening daily, but it has figured out how to do it safely. You see, on the far side, near the woods, I have a low rock wall built at the base of a tree. In the wall is a small crevice, also the cleverly-hidden entrance to the Chip’s
Several storage rooms in the burrow will hold the food supplies, and a Chipmunk’s gathering habits are admirable. They love nuts and seeds, and the dry seeds store well. A Chipmunk can easily store several bushel of seeds inside its many storage rooms, all connected to the main tunnel by short side tunnels. A Chipmunk can gather a bushel of seeds in 3 days. Chipmunks sometimes store choice plants like clover leaves and grasses. They will cut the stems and allow the plant material to dry in the sun. After drying, the Chipmunk rolls them into small “hay bales”, and then carries them below ground for long term storage. Very smart. You see, the Chipmunk hibernates, sort of, but not like, say, a black bear, that eats all through fall and gets fat to store extra nutrients in its body for the long winter sleep. The chipmunk does not get fat; but instead just sleeps a lot, gets up and eats regularly, then goes back to bed in the darkness of its cozy underground home. They know how to build and furnish a safe, comfortable home, and understand the need for long -term food planning, how to preserve future food supplies, and how to care for their children. So, the Chip plans well, has ample stored food close at hand, and is secure, warm, and well-fed though the onslaught of winter’s cold and snow. I occasionally have a Bobcat come to my yard after the grey squirrels that scrounge the seed off the ground around my bird feeders. I’ve been lucky a few times to see one crouched in the Continued on Page 33

Not two minutes later the chipmunk darted out of its hole in the tree base, scampered to the feathers, and began stuffing them into its cheek pouches. Five quick trips back and forth from the burrow and every trace of Dove feathers were gone, undoubtedly repurposed into a feather bed in a sleeping chamber. Had I not been a witness to the whole process; that whole event, worthy of a nature TV program, would have been an unknown chapter in the constantly changing wildlife show all around me. A study was done to determine how much a chipmunk could carry in its cheek pouches. Here are some of the results: 13 prune pits, 31 corn kernels, 32 beech nuts, 65 sunflower seeds, and 145 wheat grains.

My yard is really a semi-wooded glade, majestic Yellow Poplar and Black Walnut trees scattered about, giving me summer shade and non-electric natural air-conditioning. One area is more open, a sunny patch, and the Bobcat knows it can dash out and catch a Squirrel here before it can reach the safety of a nearby tree. One day I watched as a Squirrel casually hopped across the yard, “seemingly” moving in a haphazard zig-zag path (but always not far from a towering tree) toward the feeders. The squirrel made the mistake of venturing across the open area, and just when it was in the middle, the Bobcat streaked out of the brush, and managed to catch the Squirrel as it made a desperate leap for the base of a big Poplar. O-O-O-O-H-H!!! This opening is like a McDonald’s Drive-thru for all my Hawks, Owls, and Falcons; the very beautiful and very, very beneficial predators like the Bobcat, Fox, Dragonflies, and Bats; as well as a host of others.
tunnel system. I’ll see her run from the woods to the wall, jerk to a stop and stand up looking all around for a few seconds, then pop into the hidden entrance. Exactly twelve seconds later she will pop out of the hole at the base of the Walnut tree. I’m impressed at her resourcefulness in travel safety and clever thinking.
Its diligence in making a complex, safe home; hard work during times of food abundance; resourcefulness in food preservation and storage; and protective behavior to family all allow the Chipmunk to retire for the winter season in comfort and security.
The smallest members of the squirrel family, our chipmunks have a silky, soft reddish-brown fur coat with two white and five black stripes along the back. There are two white stripes on the side of the head, one above and one below their large glossy black eyes, and a brown stripe on the outside of each white one. This little 2 to 3 ounce bundle of energy can easily curl up inside one of your teacups. They build quite impressive homes, and they have some character traits that we can observe and glean some valuable life lessons for ourselves. Let’s see now. Recently I was watching a flock of sixteen Mourning Doves feeding in the yard, along with a variety of other songbirds busily flitting between nearby branches, the various feeders, and the ground under the feeders. Suddenly the birds were startled, and almost like magic they disappeared into the surrounding trees and shrubs. The doves scattered with their telltale whistling flight noise, flying low and fast into the nearby woods. Two were left on the feeder, obviously agitated, walking around quickly on the covered feeder tray but unwilling to fly. Unseen to me, I thought a hawk had come into the yard. Without warning, movement flashed in my peripheral vision, and a large bird swooped into view; streaking toward the feeder in a lightning-fast dive that swerved between the trees and had a rushing, vibrating hum I could hear through the open window. This fighter jet bird was a Peregrine Falcon, and it smacked into a panicked dove four feet off the feeder with a sound like a baseball landing squarely in a catcher’s mitt. I heard more than I saw, it happened so fast, and all that was left was a handful of grey feathers floating to the ground, the birds already out of sight. WOW!

A berm, or series of berms, can divide or partition a landscape. Maybe the veggie garden and outbuilding can be screened with a berm rather than a hedge or fence. A quiet seating area can be created by putting the berm so as to keep others from watching your every move. Whether your berm is a rolling raised area you can drive the mower over, is planted in pretty flowers and shrubbery, is the stage from which to show off your rock garden or waterfall, or possibly you want to create a forested berm, my hope is you’ve gotten a new idea or two for your landscape. If you decide to build a berm, try to make it informal, offset from the center of anything, and don’t make the tallest part of it be right in the middle. And for those not sold on a major berm, perhaps a little one just at one corner of the home extending out a little and planted in some lovely new plantings would be a fit for your home.
