Public Service Announcement: Today was a very scary day. We were unloading oats...
Kathy Peterson-Herbst - High Steppin Farm at Sherrill, IA
November 2, 2019 - Today was a very scary day. We were unloading oats. And Gary A. Herbst fell backwards over the auger in to the PTO and got wrapped up in it. Took most of his clothes off of him, wrapped him up in it.
Thank God I was there and knew how to shut everything down. I started cutting his clothes off - I got him air so he could breathe. I got him picked up and on his feet. I saw all the bones hanging out of his arm. His arm was broke and bent hanging backwards. I knew at this point I couldn't get him cut out by myself.
I called 911; within minutes, the Dubuque County Sheriff's Department and Sherrill Fire And Rescue were here. We got him free. He was rushed to Finley's ER then Airlifted to Iowa City where he is undergoing 6 plus hours of surgery on his arm. Then he will be 4 hours in recovery. He will remain under sedation overnight.
I want to Thank the Dubuque County Sheriff's Department and Sherrill Fire And Rescue Crew for all your help and your fast response.

FDA: FDA Approves Clomipramine Hydrochloride Tablets to Treat Separation Anxiety in Dogs
October 30, 2019 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine is announcing the approval of the first generic form of clomipramine hydrochloride tablets to be used as part of a comprehensive behavioral management program to treat separation anxiety in dogs greater than 6 months of age.
Separation anxiety is common in dogs and results when a dog fears or has underlying anxiety about being left alone. It has been published that canine behavior problems are diagnosed in an estimated 20 to 40 percent of dogs that are referred to behavior practices in North America. In a survey of factors associated with surrendering dogs to a humane society, 3 out of 10 of the most commonly reported problems were consistent with separation anxiety.

Washington Ag Chat: Syngenta Opens Applications For $20K In Scholarships
In a two- to five-minute video essay, can you explain how your roots have influenced the way you view the future of the ag industry? If so — and if you’re currently a qualifying college student — now’s the time to enter the Accelerating a Generation (AG) Syngenta Scholarship program, which has up to $20,000 available in total awards.
Applications are being accepted through Jan. 15, 2020.
University students currently pursuing bachelor’s or master’s degrees in crop-related disciplines are eligible to compete for the scholarships. Applicants must be U.S. residents enrolled as of spring 2020 in an accredited agriculture program at an eligible university.
Syngenta will grant scholarships to a bachelor’s and a master’s level national winner, selected from a pool of 4 regional winners in each category. Scholarship recipients will be announced in the spring.
The 2019 scholarships were awarded to two talented students with a passion for pushing agriculture forward. Bachelor’s level winner Adrienne Blakey, a plant and soil sciences major at Oklahoma State University, emphasized the value of integrity as a building block for the industry’s future. Meanwhile, master’s level winner Nick Lord encouraged students of various backgrounds and life experiences to “find a niche in the agricultural community” where they can make an impact.
To ensure full application processing, Syngenta asks students to submit their email addresses and other initial identifying information by Jan. 7. For more information about the scholarship, including official rules, prize amounts, essay topic, eligible universities, and application guidelines, visit this link.

Lewis County Water Alliance: Citizens' Climate Lobby Hosts Discussion November 9
November 2 - The public is invited to a meeting to discuss issues of climate change at the Rivers Café in Morton on Saturday morning November 9th from 9:30 to noon. The meeting is hosted by the Citizens’ Climate Lobby. East County people are gathering to talk about what we can do to protect our environment and we welcome comments from Water Alliance members.
The Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL) is a non-profit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy organization which is in the process of organizing a chapter in Lewis County. There are 459 CCL chapters nationwide, representing 91% of congressional districts. Meetings have already been held in Centralia.
“By joining the Climate Lobby, citizens who are concerned about the problems of climate change can amplify their voices and have a say in implementing national solutions,” said David Foutch who helped start a CCL chapter in Olympia and in the San Juan Islands. He will be speaking at the meeting. He added that the CCL is a way for concerned citizens to influence their legislators and have a voice in lobbying for climate related legislation.
Foutch said he will talk about local issues including drought in some areas that is contributing to large private industry buying up local water rights. “I look forward to a discussion about local environmental issues and how local citizens can become effectively involved in changing environmental policy,” he said.
The CCL was the sponsor last month of the Alaska Suite an environmental and musical performance in Packwood attended by 50 people. “At the event quite a few Eastern Lewis County residents said they would like to have a way to effect climate change policy so we wanted to work with them on it,” said Foutch.
Foutch added, “I’m excited to be able to talk to people in East Lewis County about our optimistic, solutions-oriented approach to climate change. My goal is that whoever comes to the meeting will leave feeling hopeful and ready to take action.”

MEMS mics respond to light as if it were sound. No one knows precisely why.
November 4, 2019 - The attack exploits a vulnerability in microphones that use micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS. The microscopic MEMS components of these microphones unintentionally respond to light as if it were sound. While the researchers tested only Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, Facebook Portal, and a small number of tablets and phones, the researchers believe all devices that use MEMS microphones are susceptible to Light Commands attacks.

InsideEVs: Can You Really Buy A Brand-New EV For $12,000?
Sadly, it all depends on where you reside.
November 4, 2019 - It's incredibly interesting that the Volkswagen e-Golf would make its way into TFL's newfound electric car coverage. While it shows a higher price point and a meager 125 miles of EPA-estimated range, it also shows an impressive efficiency rating. Moreover, it's a stellar performer on almost all levels.
…
In the end, they point out that it's a California compliance car. With that being said, the $35,000 car is currently discounted by $10,000 in the Golden State. Add in the $7,500 federal EV rebate and some local and state rebates that are as high as $5,000, and you're looking at a compelling EV that could cost you $12,500. Wow!

Lewis County Water Alliance - We are a citizens group in Randle, WA fighting to keep Crystal Geyser from bottling and exporting our water. Our goal is to protect our water and environment for our families, our farms, our fish, and our future.
Update: Lewis County Water Alliance has received so much support from other towns & regions seeking to halt commercial water interests that Washington Water Alliance has been created.
*Special thanks to Deanna Busdieker, who condensed posts & threads into a shared folder: Link here.
Updated several times daily. The Other Toledo is committed to supporting our upriver neighbors in their challenge to preserve this precious natural resource. After all, we all live downstream.
