Chillicothe Gazette | USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS—The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) recently announced the winners of its 2022 Ohio State Parks Photo Contest this week.

All winning entries, except the People’s Choice award, were chosen over three rounds of judging by a panel of ODNR employees. The People’s Choice Award was voted on by the public.

ODNR’s photo contest offered five categories for images taken in an Ohio state park after Jan. 1, 2022. These categories are wildlife in action, recreation in the parks, wondrous water, novice naturalist and explore trails. Participants were able to submit up to five entries per category.

“We love to see the parks from visitors’ perspectives,” said Chief Glen Cobb, ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft. “These photographs celebrate Ohio’s outdoors and the memories created when family and friends gather in our state parks.”

First place went to Ashley Hendershot of Ashland who submitted her photo titled “Mohican Sunshine.” Her image depicts a biker on the 25-mile mountain bike loop at Mohican State Park with their hands up in the air while the sun bursts through the surrounding trees.

“This picture captures the hidden beauty at Mohican if you are just willing to seek the adventure,” said Hendershot. “This scenery can only be seen if you follow the mountain bike trail and get out and ride!”

Second place went to Michael Cordell of Johnstown who submitted his photo titled “Kayaking.” It depicts a kayaker in the bay at East Harbor State Park and is taken at the level of the water to include the lily pads.

Third place went to Kimberly Jackson of Athens who submitted her photo titled “Home Away from Home,” which shows a…

Increasing Food Security in a Mohican Tribal Community

No Comments on Increasing Food Security in a Mohican Tribal Community

Like many rural communities, the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, a Mohican Indian tribe in north central Wisconsin, wanted to increase its access to fresh produce, but faced multiple barriers. The tribe’s 500 acres of farmland was depleted of nutrients and organic matter after years of improper management by previous tenants.

Adapted from an article first published on the SARE website.

Additionally, local gardeners and farmers lacked an understanding of the soil management practices that would improve fertility, such as taking and interpreting soil tests, making compost and using cover crops. Also, some community members were reluctant to grow produce because of the labor required to control weeds. Community members also lacked skills to extend growing seasons and safely preserve their harvests.

Stockbridge-Munsee Community agriculture agent Kellie Zahn had a vision for addressing those needs but needed financial support to translate her vision into reality.

That’s where Sustainable Agriculture Research Education (SARE) came into the picture. Funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), SARE offers grants to farmers, ranchers, educators, researchers, graduate students and others for on-farm research, education, and professional and community development.

“One of the unique facets of SARE is that it offers grant opportunities to such a diverse applicant pool,” said NIFA National Program Leader Vance Owens. “SARE’s work is truly grassroots-driven and guided by regional SARE priorities. The beauty of a regionally directed program means that they can focus programs that are tailored to the needs of the communities and the region’s climate and environmental conditions.”

Actions Taken

Funded by two SARE grants, new farmers as well existing farmers received hands-on training to improve the tribe’s ability to grow fresh produce.

“We had a number of people reach out wanting to grow vegetables for the first time or for the first time in a…

Mohican Adventure Hunt to return to Loudonville

The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum. | facebook.com

LOUDONVILLE – The Mohican Adventure Hunt is slated to kick off on Saturday, June 11, at the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum in Loudonville.

The adventure hunt is a hybrid scavenger hunt that sends teams racing across the Mohican area to discover landmarks, find rare items and complete unusual – and often hilarious – tasks.

“It’s a bit like a mixture of a traditional scavenger hunt and ‘The Amazing Race,’” said the museum’s curator, Kenny Libben. Each landmark, find or task is assigned a point value and teams must submit photographs or videos to prove they completed it. The first team to complete all tasks, or the team with the most points at the deadline, wins.

The hunt was first held last year with over 50 participants competing for the cash prize and bragging rights. Though no team completed the entire list last year, Team Atterholt took home the top prize by narrowly edging out others with 49 completed tasks.

“We weren’t quite sure how well the tasks would be received,” said Libben, “but by the end of the event it was obvious everyone loved it and begged us to bring it back.”

This year, the first-place team will win a $125 cash prize, and second place will go home with a $50 cash prize. The cost to register is $40 per team (vehicle), with a discounted registration for members of the museum. The event kicks off at 10 a.m., and teams have three hours to complete their list of tasks – after which everyone is encouraged to return to the museum to find out how they stacked up against the competition. There are 50 challenges on the list of tasks, but what they are won’t be revealed until the starting bell rings for…

How to save money on gas at the pump

You can’t control gas prices, but you can be smarter when it’s time to head to the pump.

ProblemSolved, Reviewed

Record high prices at the pumps are giving residents of North Central Ohio a new opportunity to explore nearby attractions this summer rather than drive to a faraway vacation.

The cost of fuel has more than doubled in the past two years, according to data provided by AAA.

As of Friday afternoon, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $4.593, which set a new record.

The record national average price for a gallon of diesel was set Wednesday at at $5.577.

Ohio drivers Friday were paying an average of $4.469 for regular unleaded gas and $5.248 for diesel.

Gasoline price averages Friday were $4.472 in Crawford County, $4.474 in Richland County and $4.479 in Ashland County.

The price on Memorial Day of 2020 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline averaged $1.989 in Ohio, according to AAA, and the national average then was $1.959.

Local attractions all summer

Residents became accustomed to keeping their vacations short and local during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, according to Miranda Jones, executive director of the Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately for residents of North Central Ohio, the region has a lot of attractions to…
