December 29, 2022 – National Lacrosse League (NLL)Buffalo Bandits News Release

Olive Tree students meet snakes, turtles during program with Mohican naturalist

Jim Brewer  |  Special to Ashland Times-Gazette

Gracie Jefferies didn’t expect to visit, eye to eye, with a gray rat snake.

But that was her unexpected treat Friday, Jan. 13, when she was the first beneficiary of a close encounter with reptiles in her after-school session at the Olive Tree Care Center.

“We are planning to set up presentations by different community resources as part of our program,” said Kristy Spreng, director of Olive Tree. “The visit today by Kyle Casey, naturalist at Mohican State Park, was the first session in this program.”

Casey provided the dozen or more students at Olive Tree, which offers before and after school care for students in grades K-6, an interesting and at times entertaining presentation on Ohio reptiles as the inaugural program.

The program started off quietly enough, with Casey unpacking a box filled with various turtle shells, ranging from tiny ones, about three inches long, to huge and scary snapping turtle shells, a foot or more around.

After talking about the shells, he went to a plastic tote and pulled out a live turtle, a box turtle, one of the species most commonly found in Ohio, and discussed its characteristics.

“This is a girl turtle,” he said. “You can tell by the shape of their shells. Females are higher and more rounded, while male turtles have flatter shells.”

Shells that turtles carry on their backs are for protection, and if for some reason a shell is broken, a turtle will grow another, Casey told the children.

After packing the female turtle back in his tote, he pulled a more exciting creature out of it, a gray rat snake, about long.

Fifth grader Gracie Jeffries got the…

About a week before Americans and friends would gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, a convoy of trucks rolled to a stop in the war-ravaged Tigray region of Ethiopia. Humanitarian workers began to unload hundreds of tons of food. Fighting and instability had made the work dangerous, but now sacks heavy with wheat and split peas and vast containers of vegetable oil were being sorted and sent directly to the region’s hungry.

The United Nations’ World Food Programme, the largest humanitarian organization on the planet, had organized the effort. Estimates suggest the deliveries would help 67,000 people.

It was a significant achievement against hunger, yet David Beasley, an American from South Carolina and the agency’s executive director since 2017, finds it hard to take comfort from one success as he thinks of how many more people still need help.

At the end of 2022, the WFP is on track to provide food, medicine and support to 153 million people in at least 80 countries, many of them dealing with war and famine. That’s the most people in the program’s 60-year history.

“When I took over, my goal was, ‘What can I do to make the World Food Programme no longer needed?’” Beasley told ShareAmerica in phone interview from the agency’s headquarters in Rome. “We still have a lot of work to do.”
