Wildlife ofcer Mike Ohlrich looks forward to a safe deer season
The deer season is upon us and for the
diehard hunter its like Christmas morning
or the celebration of the birth of their frst
born. In other words, its serious business
and nothing stands in the way to the start
of deer season. In fact, when living in
Michigan, the frst day of deer season
was a holiday a day out of school for
everyone!
In Ohio, when looking ahead to the
hunting season, according to Paulding
County Wildlife Offcer, Mike Ohlrich, there
are several different seasons when it comes
to hunting deer. And with the new season
comes some changes that all hunters need to
be aware.
Sept. 27 Feb. 1: bow season.
Oct. 11-12 antlerless (doe) season for
archery and muzzleloader.
Nov. 22-23 youth deer season for ages
17 and younger.
Dec. 1-7 gun season.
Jan. 2-5 muzzleloader season.
New this year during the gun season will
be the use of rifes that require straight-walled
cartridges. Twenty-seven different calibers
of cartridges will be allowed for hand gun
season in addition to the traditional shot guns,
muzzleloader and hand guns. This season
runs from Dec. 1 (the frst Monday after
Thanksgiving) to Dec. 7. The straight-walled
cartridges can also be used during the two day
youth gun season Nov. 22-23.
Every county has their own bag limit. For
Paulding and Defance Counties it is three
deer. The state wide total is no more than
nine and only one buck, said Ohlrich.
During the 2013-14 season, Coshocton
County led the state in deer kills with 6,270
followed by Tuscarawas County 5,774,
Licking 5,711. Paulding County recorded
1,047.
In recent years the number of deer killed
across the state has decreased.
2013-14 191,459
2012-13 218,910
2011-12 219,698
2010-11 239,379
Last year, the deer season generated an
economic impact of $853 million.
Deer season was frst sanctioned in 1943
when three Ohio counties opened their
boarders for hunting. That year 168 bucks
were reported killed.
In 1956, all 88 counties had a deer season
with 3,911 deer killed.
Today, with the sport attracting women
and young people, hunting deer has become
a popular outing. In Ohio, hunting deer
takes place on property that is 95 percent
privately owned.
I would guess that 99 percent of people
hunting today enjoy it and have fun at
it, but safety is always important, said
Ohlrich. I would say that gun safety is most
important. Know your fre arm. Secondly,
check the hunting regulations and know the
latest changes and then remember why you
are out there. Its a great sport and if you can
introduce a youth to the sport, they too, can
appreciate the season, he said.
Other important tips Ohlrich wants to
remind hunters prior to the start of the season
is to obviously purchase a hunting license
($19 adults, and $10 for 17 and under), and
deer permit ($24 per deer, $12 for youth).
When a deer is killed it is to be taken to a
check station or call 1-877-TAGITOH (1-877-
824-4864) or online at ohiogamecheck.com.
Finally, each day, deer season begins 1/2
hour before sunrise and ends 1/2 hour after
sunset. The deer season is not necessarily the
most dangerous time of year but it is the most
demanding with the number of complaints
received, said Ohlrich.
On the job for fve years as a wildlife
offcer in Ohio, Ohlrich has been Paulding
Countys offcer for the last two. I come
from Henry County and I grew up with a dad
who introduced me to hunting, fshing and
trapping. Its something I have always done
and its simply a part of my life, he said. I
have a job thats challenging and exciting.
Actually, its a job many would be jealous of.
Mike Ohlrich, Paulding County Wildlife offcer, spends many hours each day in his truck
following up on complaints he receives during deer season. Ohlrich has served served Paulding
County for two years and looks forward to the upcoming deer season. This year deer hunters
will have the option to hunt with rifes using straight walled cartridges.

12 fun facts about autumn
The cool, crisp days of autumn have arrived. As fall foliage
creates a colorful display and kids frolic in leaf piles on the
lawn, you may want to pay some mind to a few lesser known
facts about this beloved time of year. Autumn may call to
mind Halloween and the return of school, but there are other
factors that make this season unique.
1. The frst day of autumn is known
as the autumnal equinox. On this day,
the number of hours of daylight and
darkness are equal. This is because the
sun is aligned with the center of the
Earth between the north and south of
the planet. The other equinox occurs
in the spring, which arrives in the third
week of March in the Northern
hemisphere.
2. In Greek mythology, autumn was
a time when Persephone, the daughter of
Demeter, was abducted by Hades, the god-king of
the underworld. During this time, Demeter, the
goddess of the harvest, was distraught and the
ground grew sparse and cold. When Persephone returned
in the springtime, plants and life bloomed anew because of
Demeters happiness.
3. Those who live closest to the equator, which is the center
of the planet, never experience the season of autumn.
Around the equator, the temperature remains consistently
warm.
4. Yellow, orange and variations thereof always
reside in the pigmentation of tree leaves, but
they are just overpowered by the abundance
of green from the chlorophyll in the
leaves. Come autumn, however, when the
s u n weakens and days grow shorter,
the amount of chlorophyll in
leaves diminishes, allowing the
other pigments in the leaves to
show through.
5. Red and purple leaves are
actually caused by the presence
of sugars from sap that is trapped
inside of the leaves.
6. Fall is a peak migration time for many
species of birds. During autumn, birds
will fy to other areas as they seek more
hospitable climates. The Arctic tern
journeys about 11,000 miles each way for its annual
migration. That is like going all the way across the United
States about three and a half times
7. Contrary to popular belief, squirrels who have spent
the entire autumn collecting acorns and other foods do not
hibernate for the winter. Rather, they spend the majority
of their time in nests they built to shelter them from harsh
weather. When squirrels do come out in winter, they are
usually tunneling under the snow to fnd the food they
buried during the fall.
8. Several cultures have ancient traditions that coincide
with autumn. For example, the Chinese celebrate the Moon
Festival to give thanks for a successful summer harvest.
9. Halloween is a large part of autumn. The concept of
wearing masks and costumes hails from ancient Celtic
tradition. The Celts believed ghosts roamed on Halloween,
and people wore disguises to hide from the spirits.
10. Youre bound to see pumpkins as part of autumn
decor. The pumpkin was frst named by the Greeks. They
called this edible orange item pepon, which means large
melon.
11. Evergreen trees will not lose their leaves like
deciduous trees. Their leaves, also called needles, are
covered with a thick wax. This wax protects the inner
components of the needles, preventing them from freezing.
2. Autumn also signals another colorful spectacle apart
from the tree leaves. The aurora borealis, also known as the
Northern Lights, tends to be visible this time of year. This
is because geomagnetic storms are about twice as likely to
occur during the fall thanks to cool evening weather.

Putting your garden to bed for the winter
From OSU Extension
http://extension.osu.edu
The 2015 garden year is about to begin.
Many folks think of next years garden as
beginning next spring but, it really should
begin in the fall of the previous year for a
more successful next year. Here are a few
ideas to get ready for next spring:
Soil testing: Fall is a great time to send
soil samples for analysis. If you fnd out now
that your soil needs help you can apply those
recommended amendments in the fall and
they have all winter to work their way into
the soil.
Fall garden clean-up: Rake this years
garden litter. Those old vines and stems
provide overwintering sites for insects and
diseases. Discard foliage from diseased
plants. Other foliage should be placed in your
compost pile or tilled back into the soil.
Fall cultivation: I always try to till my
gardens in the fall. Fall tilling disturbs the
life cycles of insects by exposing those
underground grubs and pupae to sun, birds
and freezing temperatures. Fall tilling keeps
your soil loose and friable and is a real help
for an easy till in the spring. Winters freezes
and thaws will break up any churned-up
clods.
Sowing fall cover crops: I sow some of
my garden areas in winter rye. Cover crop
roots improve soil structure and provide
spring compost material that can be mowed
and then tilled back into the soil in the spring.
Love your tree leaves: I rake my fallen
leaves onto my gardens that do not have
a cover crop. I often layer them over a
foot deep. This is sometimes called sheet
composting. Leaves rot very quickly, and
its amazing how many leaves you can
work into your soil. In the spring, I till these
rotted leaves into the soil as a leaf mulch
that encourages benefcial earthworms and
soil microbes. I also pile up leaves to use as
mulching material or composted leaf mold.
I use these to enrich my garden soil the next
year.
Fall is a great time to tend to tools: Round
up your garden tools, clean the dirt off with a
wire brush, if needed. Oil them with vegetable
oil to keep them from rusting and store them
in the garden shed. Drain and store your hoses,
watering cans and sprinklers before the frst
freeze damages them. Drain or run out all the
gasoline from lawn mowers, and tillers. This
will prevent water from condensing in the gas
tanks over winter.
Winter and store your container
gardening pots: Dont forget your clay pots
especially. To store your pots, empty them
completely, let them dry out and store them
under cover. Terra cotta containers absorb
water, which will freeze and could result in
surface faking and even broken pots. All of
your containers (clay, wood, plastic, metal or
fberglass) will fare better if they are clean, dry
and stored in the garden shed for the winter.
Saving seeds and digging up tender
bulbs: Remember to save seeds from your
favorite non-hybrid plants. Tender bulbs
including cannas and gladiolus need to be dug
up and stored where they will not freeze. I pack
mine in boxes of sawdust and keep them in an
area that does not get cold enough to freeze.
Bring your garden journal up to date:
I keep a journal of my garden each year so I
know what I want to try again and those items
that I want to remove from my list. Think about
all the joy your garden has given you this year.
Refect on your successes and what you could
have done better. Then, close your eyes and
dream about those seed catalogues that will
be arriving in January and February for next
spring.
For information on a myriad of gardening
topics, visit: www.ohioline.osu.edu and click
on Yard and Garden link, or call OSU
Extension.
Composting leaves to enrich garden soil or raking them onto your garden over the winter can
also have benefts for your lawn next season.

Fall Foliage Forecast: Exceptional Year in the Offing for Northeast
AccuWeather reports leaf-peepers, get set:
Experts say the summer season has set the
stage for potentially exceptional fall colors in
the Northeast, though the weather through mid-
October will ultimately determine how stellar of
a display will emerge.
The Northeastern states have had a good to
excellent growing season without any major
disturbances, according to Dr. Michael Day,
University of Maine research professor of
Physiological Ecology.
In addition, adequate precipitation and lack
of wind disturbances has resulted in trees with
an exceptional amount of foliage still attached,
he said.
Slight drought stress in the late summer helped
to signal a seasonal change but did not force an
early leaf drop.
The upcoming weather will play a critical
role.
A cold snap in the next four to six weeks
would bring out the vibrant fall colors, resulting
in what Day considers an exceptional year for
fall foliage in the Northeast.
Cool, dry weather into September and October
is typically ideal for producing the bright colors
favored by tourists and locals alike.
The next month is forecast to deliver just what
the doctor ordered with dry periods and some
chilly weather in the northern areas of New York
state and northern New England for the second
half of September, according to AccuWeather.
com Expert Long-Range Forecaster Paul
Pastelok.
Meanwhile, those in the Midwest and
Southeast may be shortchanged. An abundance
of wet and warm weather may hinder the display
for the Midwest, southern Appalachians and
Southeast.
According to the 2014 AccuWeather.com Fall
Forecast, wet weather will be focused from the
Ohio Valley to the Gulf coast in October.
Though the early emergence of color can
already be seen in many locations throughout
the East, the peak of colors will hold off for a
while, according to Dr. Marc Abrams, professor
of Forest Ecology and Physiology at Penn State
University.
Those planning trips to see the foliage in late
September should head north, but trips to the
Southeast should be put off until late October,
Abrams said.
Add a taste of fall to the menu with pumpkin
Autumn is ripe with vibrant colors and
scenery. One of the more vivid sights
this time of year are the bright, orange
pumpkins that adorn walkways and front
porches of homes and businesses. Not only
are pumpkins ideal for decorating, but
theyre also great to eat.
Some people who plan to carve jack-o-
lanterns mistakenly believe the same type
of pumpkin can be used in their favorite
recipes. But what carving pumpkins have
in visual fair, they usually lack in favor
and substance. Instead, would-be pumpkin
cookers should look to other varieties if
they plan to serve pumpkin on the menu.
Pumpkins are available from September
through December, but they peak in
October. Many smaller pumpkins are better
and sweeter for cooking. Mini pumpkins,
sugar, cheese, and pie pumpkins are
varieties commonly used in recipes. The
big jack-o-lantern pumpkins have stringy,
watery fesh and will provide little to no
pulp for cooking.
Select a pumpkin as you would any other
type of squash. Look for a frm pumpkin
with no bruises or soft spots. The pumpkin
also should have a deep orange color.
Store pumpkins in a cool, dark area until
ready for use to prolong freshness. Wash
Fall favor: Not only are pumpkins ideal for decorating, but theyre also great to eat.
the exterior of the pumpkin in cool water
before cutting to remove any dirt and bacteria
on the surface of the pumpkin so it wont be
transferred to the pulp of the pumpkin.
Slice the pumpkin in half and remove the
seeds and any stringy material. Rinse and
save the seeds for planting or roasting.
Put the pumpkin pieces in the microwave
to cook or you can steam or bake them until
the pulp is soft and the pumpkin falls off
of the skin. Cool the pumpkins, then puree
the pulp until its smooth. You may want to
strain the pureed pumpkin with a cheese cloth
to remove any excess water before using in
a pie recipe. Baked breads may beneft from
the extra moisture.
Pumpkins are a great source of dietary fber,
vitamin A, vitamin C, ribofavin, potassium,
copper, manganese, vitamin E, thiamin,
niacin, vitamin B6, folate, iron, calcium,
magnesium, and phosphorus. Theyre also
low in fat and calories. Pumpkin puree can
replace the oil in some baking recipes, much
as you would use applesauce.
ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
Boil seeds in water for 5 minutes. Drain
well. Sprinkle with salt or seasoned salt.
Place a thin layer on a cookie sheet. Bake
at 250. Stir after 30 minutes. Bake 1/2 to 1
hour more or until crunchy.
*Squash seeds may also be used.

Time to get your bulbs on!
By KYLEE BAUMLE
Nights are cooler and the days are shorter,
which means its about time to plant those fall
bulbs. The window in which to get them in the
ground is pretty large, running from when the
temperatures stay consistently between 40-50
degrees at night until just before the ground
freezes. Fall bulbs for spring blooming are
dormant when you plant them, and you want
them to stay that way, so keep that in mind
if youre tempted to plant them when the
weather is still relatively warm.
The little bulbs
When you think of fall bulbs, tulips,
daffodils, and hyacinths are the usual varieties
that come to mind, but there are so many
others, including several diminutive ones.
Grape hyacinths and crocus are well-known,
and theres glory-of-the-snow (Chionodoxa),
snowdrops, reticulated irises, winter aconite,
species tulips, and many others.
Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of
the frst fowers to appear at the end of winter,
very often while snow is still on the ground.
Theyve got a beautiful scent, but youll need
to get down at their level and close to the
blooms to detect it. Around the same time,
winter aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) add a bit
of yellow punch to the drab landscape.
If you love tulips, but dont like how they
sometimes fail to return each spring, give
species tulips a try. These are tulips the way
God made em, smaller than the hybrids
were more familiar with. They are truly
perennial and will even multiply over the
years. Many varieties exist, but one of my
favorites is Little Beauty, a deep pink with
purple centers.
If youve never grown saffron crocus
(Crocus sativus) before, its just as easy and
beautiful as the spring blooming varieties. This
is the crocus from which the saffron spice is
taken. Their red stigmas are plucked and dried
and used in cooking, and with each bloom
only producing three stigmas, you can see why
saffron is so expensive. Saffron crocus will
sprout foliage in the spring, but wont bloom
until fall.
Spring-blooming crocus can be planted in
the yard, under turf grass. Simply skim the sod
back, lay in the bulbs, replace the sod, and water
well. In the spring, before grass begins to grow
much, youll enjoy seeing the vivid yellow,
white, and purple blooms brightening things up
in a more natural setting.
Big and beautiful
On the fip side, there are some really large
bulbs that can be fun to grow as well as adding
pizzazz to your spring garden. The giant alliums,
such as Gladiator and Globemaster are really
just big ornamental onions (with beautiful
blooms) and you can detect that familiar scent
when planting them. Alliums come in all sizes
and are among the easiest bulbs to grow.
Crown Imperial fritillaries (Fritillaria
imperialis) have a distinctive scent too, both as a
bulb and a blooming fower. They come in both
yellow and red and almost from the day they
start to break through the spring soil, they
let you know theyre there with their unique
skunky smell. But their showy blooms atop
18-inch stems give them the regal personality
that earned them their common name, and
makes them worth their less-than-sweet odor.
There are much smaller fritillaries you can
plant too.
How to plant spring bulbs:
Planting bulbs isnt diffcult, but there are
some basic guidelines to keep in mind:
Make sure the ground drains well so when
spring rains come and isnt compacted. Its
more diffcult for tender spring foliage to break
through heavy clay soil than it is organically
amended looser soil.
A general rule of thumb is to plant the bulbs
at a depth of about two to three times the
diameter of the bulb. For example, a crocus
bulb thats an inch in diameter should be
planted in a hole thats about three inches deep.
It doesnt have to be exact. In the case of larger
bulbs, planting deeper may mean a slightly later
emergence in spring, but it can also increase the
hardiness. Tulips and daffodils are often planted
at a depth of 6-8 inches. If planted too deeply
however, especially in the case of the smaller
bulbs, can mean they wont emerge at all.
Plant with the pointy end up. If youre not
sure, plant the bulb sideways. The bulbs stems
will fnd their way to the top.
Newly planted bulbs dont need fertilizer the
frst year you plant them. In subsequent years
if you want them to multiply, add bulb food
to the soil above the bulbs and work it in a
little bit. Rains will take it down to the bulb
where its needed. Dont add fertilizer to the
hole, as some can be too strong and burn new
roots. Adding bone meal is unnecessary and
only entices critters including dogs to dig
them up for a snack.

The Ohio Statehouse celebrated National Planting Day
COLUMBUS The Capitol Square Review and Advisory
Board (CSRAB) in partnership with Keep Ohio Beautiful
celebrated National Planting Day Tuesday, Sept. 23, by
planting native Ohio plants at the Ohio Statehouse.
National Planting Day celebrates the value and power
of native species in restoring ecological balance to the
environment while creating greener, more beautiful
communities. To commemorate this day, Keep Ohio
Beautiful hosted a public educational event at the South
Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse to beautify the grounds with
Ohio native plants by planting an Ohio Native Butterfy
Forage Garden. The event was kicked off by a book reading
involving preschool children from Children First Child
Care.
In Ohio, native plants and wildlife are losing ground to
suburbanization and fragmented habitats. However, natives
are critical to sustaining the states environment as they are
the best sources of food and habitat for pollinators and other
important wildlife. Native plants are hardy, and require
lower maintenance and less water than other ornamentals.
When we plant Ohio native species on the grounds of
the Ohio Statehouse we are also establishing a learning
environment for the nearly 80,000 school children that visit
the complex each year, said William E. Carleton, executive
director, Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board.
Michael Mennett, executive director, Keep Ohio Beautiful,
was joined by Keep Ohio Beautiful state affliates; Ohio
legislators; William Carleton, executive director, Capitol
Square Review and Advisory Board; Tamra Ansel, grounds
supervisor, Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board;
Su Lok, director of corporate and community partnerships,
Scotts Miracle-Gro; Becky Lyons, chief operating offcer,
Keep America Beautiful; Dan Weisenbach, president, Keep
Ohio Beautiful; and Greg Snowden, Davey Resource Group,
a division of The Davey Tree Expert Co.
The species included in the butterfy forage garden were
carefully selected by scientists at Davey with assistance from
Tamra Ansel, grounds manager with the Capitol Square
Review and Advisory Board. The plants were donated by
Arcola Creek Nursery in Lake County and Dayton Nursery.
A special cell phone tour has been established, too
Capitol Square visitors who dial (614)/728-8756 from a
mobile device will be able to learn about this wonderful
butterfy forage garden.
High school students from the Tolles Career & Technical
Center planted, and organizations from throughout the state
were on hand to educate attendees about native plants.
