On a warm late-summer evening, a small speedboat motored across a pea-green stretch of Lake Erie past a beach where a child sat splashing and a pair of newlyweds waded for a portrait photographer. On the sand, unseen or ignored, bright red signs warned people to stay out of the water due to dangerous algae toxins.
Some 70 miles away, farmer Bill Kellogg is trying to do something about the chronic algae blooms in America’s southernmost Great Lake. Instead of scattering fertilizer atop his fields, Kellogg now uses a strip till machine that knifes fertilizer pellets 8 inches into the soil – deep enough that heavy rains won’t wash it away.

Many hunters in Ohio today lament the fact that there just isn’t much small-game hunting that goes on these days.
So, in a sort of nod to yesteryear, Mark Gaietto and some of his Seneca County buddies are putting the “big” back into small-game hunting. The hunt is held every year on the first Saturday after muzzleloader season for deer wraps up.
Starting just south of the Mason-Dixon Line and running to Seven Mountains near Tusseyville, Centre County, Tussey Mountain covers 80 miles, making it one of the longest in the ridge and valley system.
