Wildlife officer Mike Ohlrich looks forward to a safe deer seasonThe deer season is upon us and for the

diehard hunter its like Christmas morningor the celebration of the birth of their rstborn. In other words, its serious businessand nothing stands in the way to the startof deer season. In fact, when living inMichigan, the rst day of deer season

was a holiday a day out of school foreveryone! In Ohio, when looking ahead to thehunting season, according to PauldingCounty Wildlife Ofcer, Mike Ohlrich, thereare several different seasons when it comesto hunting deer. And with the new seasoncomes some changes that all hunters need tobe aware.

Sept. 27 Feb. 1: bow season.

Oct. 11-12 antlerless (doe) season forarchery and muzzleloader. Nov. 22-23 youth deer season for ages17 and younger. Dec. 1-7 gun season.

Jan. 2-5 muzzleloader season. New this year during the gun season will

be the use of ries that require straight-walledcartridges. Twenty-seven different calibersof cartridges will be allowed for hand gunseason in addition to the traditional shot guns,muzzleloader and hand guns. This seasonruns from Dec. 1 (the rst Monday afterThanksgiving) to Dec. 7. The straight-walledcartridges can also be used during the two dayyouth gun season Nov. 22-23. Every county has their own bag limit. For

Paulding and Deance Counties it is threedeer. The state wide total is no more thannine and only one buck, said Ohlrich. During the 2013-14 season, CoshoctonCounty led the state in deer kills with 6,270followed by Tuscarawas County 5,774,Licking 5,711. Paulding County recorded

1,047. In recent years the number of deer killedacross 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 aneconomic impact of $853 million. Deer season was rst sanctioned in 1943when three Ohio counties opened theirboarders 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 womenand young people, hunting deer has becomea popular outing. In Ohio, hunting deertakes place on property that is 95 percentprivately owned.I would guess that 99 percent of peoplehunting today enjoy it and have fun atit, but safety is always important, said

Ohlrich. I would say that gun safety is mostimportant. Know your re arm. Secondly,check the hunting regulations and know thelatest changes and then remember why youare out there. Its a great sport and if you canintroduce a youth to the sport, they too, canappreciate the season, he said.

Other important tips Ohlrich wants toremind hunters prior to the start of the seasonis to obviously purchase a hunting license($19 adults, and $10 for 17 and under), anddeer permit ($24 per deer, $12 for youth). When a deer is killed it is to be taken to acheck station or call 1-877-TAGITOH (1-877-824-4864) or online at ohiogamecheck.com.

Finally, each day, deer season begins 1/2hour before sunrise and ends 1/2 hour aftersunset. The deer season is not necessarily themost dangerous time of year but it is the most

demanding with the number of complaintsreceived, said Ohlrich. On the job for ve years as a wildlifeofcer in Ohio, Ohlrich has been PauldingCountys ofcer for the last two. I comefrom Henry County and I grew up with a dadwho introduced me to hunting, shing andtrapping. Its something I have always doneand its simply a part of my life, he said. Ihave a job thats challenging and exciting.Actually, its a job many would be jealous of.

Mike Ohlrich, Paulding County Wildlife ofcer, spends many hours each day in his truckfollowing up on complaints he receives during deer season. Ohlrich has served served PauldingCounty for two years and looks forward to the upcoming deer season. This year deer hunterswill have the option to hunt with ries 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 otherfactors that make this season unique.

1. The rst 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, butthey 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 trappedinside of the leaves.

6. Fall is a peak migration time for many

species of birds. During autumn, birds

will y 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 nd the food theyburied 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 rst named by the Greeks. They

called this edible orange item pepon, which means largemelon.

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 winterFrom 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 amore 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 nd 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 stemsprovide 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 helpfor 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 havea 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 benecial 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 rst

freeze damages them. Drain or run out all the

gasoline from lawn mowers, and tillers. Thiswill 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 aking and even broken pots. All of

your containers (clay, wood, plastic, metal or

berglass) 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.

Reect 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 benets for your lawn next season.

Fall Foliage Forecast: Exceptional Year in the Offing for NortheastAccuWeather reports leaf-peepers, get set:

Experts say the summer season has set thestage for potentially exceptional fall colors inthe Northeast, though the weather through mid-October will ultimately determine how stellar ofa display will emerge.

The Northeastern states have had a good toexcellent growing season without any majordisturbances, according to Dr. Michael Day,University of Maine research professor ofPhysiological Ecology. In addition, adequate precipitation and lackof wind disturbances has resulted in trees with

an exceptional amount of foliage still attached,he said. Slight drought stress in the late summer helpedto signal a seasonal change but did not force anearly leaf drop. The upcoming weather will play a critical

role. A cold snap in the next four to six weekswould bring out the vibrant fall colors, resultingin what Day considers an exceptional year forfall foliage in the Northeast. Cool, dry weather into September and Octoberis typically ideal for producing the bright colors

favored by tourists and locals alike. The next month is forecast to deliver just whatthe doctor ordered with dry periods and somechilly weather in the northern areas of New Yorkstate and northern New England for the secondhalf of September, according to AccuWeather.

com Expert Long-Range Forecaster PaulPastelok. Meanwhile, those in the Midwest andSoutheast may be shortchanged. An abundanceof wet and warm weather may hinder the displayfor the Midwest, southern Appalachians andSoutheast.

According to the 2014 AccuWeather.com FallForecast, wet weather will be focused from theOhio Valley to the Gulf coast in October. Though the early emergence of color canalready be seen in many locations throughoutthe East, the peak of colors will hold off for a

while, according to Dr. Marc Abrams, professorof Forest Ecology and Physiology at Penn StateUniversity. Those planning trips to see the foliage in lateSeptember should head north, but trips to theSoutheast 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 andscenery. One of the more vivid sightsthis time of year are the bright, orangepumpkins that adorn walkways and frontporches of homes and businesses. Not onlyare pumpkins ideal for decorating, buttheyre also great to eat. Some people who plan to carve jack-o-lanterns mistakenly believe the same typeof pumpkin can be used in their favoriterecipes. But what carving pumpkins havein visual air, they usually lack in avorand substance. Instead, would-be pumpkin

cookers should look to other varieties ifthey plan to serve pumpkin on the menu. Pumpkins are available from Septemberthrough December, but they peak inOctober. Many smaller pumpkins are betterand sweeter for cooking. Mini pumpkins,sugar, cheese, and pie pumpkins arevarieties commonly used in recipes. Thebig jack-o-lantern pumpkins have stringy,watery esh and will provide little to nopulp for cooking. Select a pumpkin as you would any other

type of squash. Look for a rm pumpkinwith no bruises or soft spots. The pumpkinalso should have a deep orange color. Store pumpkins in a cool, dark area untilready for use to prolong freshness. Wash

Fall avor: Not only are pumpkins ideal for decorating, but theyre also great to eat.

the exterior of the pumpkin in cool waterbefore cutting to remove any dirt and bacteriaon the surface of the pumpkin so it wont betransferred to the pulp of the pumpkin.

Slice the pumpkin in half and remove theseeds and any stringy material. Rinse andsave the seeds for planting or roasting. Put the pumpkin pieces in the microwave

to cook or you can steam or bake them untilthe pulp is soft and the pumpkin falls offof the skin. Cool the pumpkins, then pureethe pulp until its smooth. You may want tostrain the pureed pumpkin with a cheese clothto remove any excess water before using ina pie recipe. Baked breads may benet fromthe extra moisture. Pumpkins are a great source of dietary ber,vitamin A, vitamin C, riboavin, potassium,copper, manganese, vitamin E, thiamin,niacin, vitamin B6, folate, iron, calcium,magnesium, and phosphorus. Theyre also

low in fat and calories. Pumpkin puree canreplace the oil in some baking recipes, muchas you would use applesauce.

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 fallbulbs. The window in which to get them in theground is pretty large, running from when thetemperatures stay consistently between 40-50degrees at night until just before the groundfreezes. Fall bulbs for spring blooming aredormant when you plant them, and you wantthem to stay that way, so keep that in mindif youre tempted to plant them when theweather is still relatively warm.The little bulbs When you think of fall bulbs, tulips,daffodils, and hyacinths are the usual varietiesthat come to mind, but there are so manyothers, 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 ofthe rst owers to appear at the end of winter,very often while snow is still on the ground.Theyve got a beautiful scent, but youll needto get down at their level and close to theblooms to detect it. Around the same time,winter aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) add a bitof yellow punch to the drab landscape.

If you love tulips, but dont like how theysometimes fail to return each spring, givespecies tulips a try. These are tulips the wayGod made em, smaller than the hybridswere more familiar with. They are trulyperennial and will even multiply over theyears. Many varieties exist, but one of myfavorites is Little Beauty, a deep pink withpurple centers.

If youve never grown saffron crocus(Crocus sativus) before, its just as easy andbeautiful as the spring blooming varieties. Thisis the crocus from which the saffron spice istaken. Their red stigmas are plucked and driedand used in cooking, and with each bloomonly producing three stigmas, you can see whysaffron is so expensive. Saffron crocus willsprout foliage in the spring, but wont bloomuntil fall. Spring-blooming crocus can be planted inthe yard, under turf grass. Simply skim the sodback, lay in the bulbs, replace the sod, and water

well. In the spring, before grass begins to growmuch, youll enjoy seeing the vivid yellow,white, and purple blooms brightening things upin a more natural setting.Big and beautiful On the ip side, there are some really largebulbs that can be fun to grow as well as addingpizzazz to your spring garden. The giant alliums,such as Gladiator and Globemaster are reallyjust big ornamental onions (with beautifulblooms) and you can detect that familiar scentwhen planting them. Alliums come in all sizesand are among the easiest bulbs to grow. Crown Imperial fritillaries (Fritillariaimperialis) have a distinctive scent too, both as abulb and a blooming ower. They come in bothyellow and red and almost from the day they

start to break through the spring soil, theylet you know theyre there with their uniqueskunky smell. But their showy blooms atop18-inch stems give them the regal personalitythat earned them their common name, andmakes them worth their less-than-sweet odor.There are much smaller fritillaries you canplant too.How to plant spring bulbs: Planting bulbs isnt difcult, but there aresome basic guidelines to keep in mind: Make sure the ground drains well so when

spring rains come and isnt compacted. Itsmore difcult for tender spring foliage to breakthrough heavy clay soil than it is organicallyamended looser soil. A general rule of thumb is to plant the bulbsat a depth of about two to three times thediameter of the bulb. For example, a crocusbulb thats an inch in diameter should beplanted in a hole thats about three inches deep.It doesnt have to be exact. In the case of largerbulbs, planting deeper may mean a slightly lateremergence in spring, but it can also increase thehardiness. Tulips and daffodils are often plantedat a depth of 6-8 inches. If planted too deeplyhowever, especially in the case of the smallerbulbs, can mean they wont emerge at all. Plant with the pointy end up. If youre not

sure, plant the bulb sideways. The bulbs stemswill nd their way to the top. Newly planted bulbs dont need fertilizer therst year you plant them. In subsequent yearsif you want them to multiply, add bulb foodto the soil above the bulbs and work it in alittle bit. Rains will take it down to the bulbwhere its needed. Dont add fertilizer to thehole, as some can be too strong and burn newroots. Adding bone meal is unnecessary andonly entices critters including dogs to digthem 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 theenvironment 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 Buttery

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 arethe 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, executivedirector, Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board.

Michael Mennett, executive director, Keep Ohio Beautiful,

was joined by Keep Ohio Beautiful state afliates; 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 ofcer,

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 buttery 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 amobile device will be able to learn about this wonderful

buttery 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.
