Actor suits up as
Superman for The
CW’s ‘Supergirl’
By ALICIA RANCILIO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Tyler Hoechlin says a pivotal moment playing
Superman on The CW’s “Supergirl”
came when he met four children on
the set while he was wearing the
suit.
Hoechlin says he realized “they
don’t know my name. They don’t
have any idea who I am but for 10
minutes, I’m Superman to them. It
was the coolest thing.”
It also helped him shape the
character.
“He’s a symbol of hope for kids
so they can do anything, they can
be anything; that good can triumph
over evil, so that was a really kind
of a cool, informative situation,” the
29-year-old actor said in a recent
interview.
Also surreal: Being offered the
part by the show’s co-creators and
executive producers, Greg Berlanti
and Andrew Kreisberg. Hoechlin,
best known for his portrayal of a
werewolf on MTV’s “Teen Wolf,”
said they brought up the idea on a
Monday. That Friday he received
a phone call that it was happening while riding in a car with his
younger brother. “He was like,
‘Wait, so you’re Superman?’ It’s
the weirdest thing to say.”
Hoechlin was in Australia when
news broke that he would play the
role. He woke up to “50 text messages,” he said, and that’s when
he realized that casting had been
announced.
Hoechlin appears in the first
two episodes of the second season
of “Supergirl,” which returned at
8 p.m. Monday on The CW after
moving from CBS.
When “Supergirl” was getting
ready to debut, Superman wasn’t
going to make an appearance so
as not to overshadow his cousin,
Kara, played by Melissa Benoist.
Hoechlin says Superman’s presence
now makes sense because the two
characters understand each other.
“At the end of the day, no one in
the world knows where they come
from or who they really are the way
those two do,” he said.
Hoechlin and The CW has said
he will appear in two episodes, but
the actor says he could be back.
“Who knows? Those decisions
are in the hands of other people.
We’ll see how people respond to
the first two episodes and we’ll go
from there.”
He wouldn’t confirm whether
he’ll return for the send-off of “Teen

Wolf,” airing its sixth and final
season starting in November. The
finale will air in 2017. “It’s going
to hit 100 episodes this year; it’s a
great note to go out on.”
As part of the
University of Findlay’s fall entertainment lineup, the
Toledo Symphony
Orchestra will perform a “Legends,
Myths and Heroes”
concert at 8 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 21, in
Winebrenner Theological Seminary’s

Apprentice” by Dukas; “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” by
Debussy; and six selections from Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite”
(1919).
Rei Hotoda will serve as guest conductor. She has guest conducted with many of today’s leading ensembles, such as the symphonies of Baltimore, Chicago and Dallas. As an accomplished
pianist, she has also appeared as a featured soloist and conductor from the piano, and her recording credits are wide ranging. Hotoda is the proud recipient of several prestigious awards,
including the 2006 Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowships,
created by Marin Alsop to mentor women conductors. Financial
assistance has included a Peabody Career Development Grant, the
Women’s Philharmonic Scholarship and an Illinois Arts Council
International Arts Exchange Grant.
The orchestra will also pay tribute to the late Mariann Younger
of Findlay, a supporter of the arts and Toledo Symphony Orchestra concerts. Younger was instrumental in volunteering for and
contributing to the Mazza Museum. The museum’s Dana Younger
Gallery was named in her honor. In 2008, she was awarded an
honorary doctor of fine arts by the University of Findlay.

Mental Health Moment
By JAMIE WILKINSON-FRANKS
Over the last few months, a common theme, teen sex, has
been present in my office.
I have had parents ask: “What do I say to my kid? How do I
talk to them about sex? Can I just put a book out and let them
figure it out? They will come to me if they have questions, I’m
sure of it.”
Then, I have youth in my office who are talking about sex.
“My parents act like they don’t want to talk about it. They are
never available. They would just freak out. We
can’t talk about anything.”
We live in a sexualized world in movies, TV,
music, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Our children
are exposed to sex at a young age. Their minds
do not always know how to process the images
they see or the messages they hear.
It is our jobs as parents, educators or
responsible adults to teach them what sex is,
how to be respectful, and how to be safe. These
conversations focus not only on the facts, but
more importantly, the feelings, attitudes, and WilkinsonFranks
values.
Sex is not only a physical act or exploration.
It is a way to demonstrate respect and personal
value. These conversations can start at a very early age. By teaching your children personal boundaries, like asking “May I give
you a hug?”, it sets the stage for physical respect and acceptance
of their own and others’ personal space.
As children grow, be open to ask their opinion about personal
issues or ways that they see other youth being treated. Be willing
to listen and ask questions.
Take advantage of an opportunity. When you are watching
TV and there is a sex scene or advertisement, ask the questions:
“Do you know kids that are having sex? What do you think about
sex? Have you ever had sex?”
Be willing to admit that you don’t know all of the answers or
if you have struggled with your own thoughts about the rules of
sex: “When is it right to have it? How will you know if you are
picking a good partner?” Ask your children about what different
phrases mean.
For instance, I did not know that “Netflix and chill” was about
sex. It can be very empowering to your children when they feel
like they get to teach you about experiences in their life.
Creating an environment to talk about uncomfortable topics is
very difficult, but the rewards are great. This lets your children
know that they can approach you about anything, and there are
many other topics that present themselves in life.

Bing Crosby: Entertainer, ‘American Sportsman’
My dad passed away when I
was 13 years old and one of the
many lingering voids includes the
loss of my fishing mentor.
I was really just learning the
outdoor ropes and I was left to
find my own way. A couple of my
friends’ dads tried to make a special effort to help me out, but most
of them were more adept at tossing a baseball than a Jitterbug or
Hula-Popper.
Baseball and football were certainly fun but they just didn’t offer
enough. They didn’t ring true to
me.
Then I met Bing Crosby.
It was a Sunday afternoon and
our family had just gotten home
from church. I flipped on the TV
and was waiting for it to warm up,
hand poised over the dial ready to
flip through the half dozen channels.
An announcer began booming
before a picture was even clear:
“Welcome to ‘The American
Sportsman.’ Today we will be fly
fishing for Atlantic salmon with
Bing.” I plopped myself on the
floor with one of the sofa pillows.
I don’t really remember all the
details, but I do remember being
mesmerized. It was the first time
I had ever heard of a fly rod.
Bing looked like he had just left
church himself, complete with a
tie and dapper felt fedora. He
sported some kind of chest-high
boots and was waving a rod that
must have been 10 feet long. The
line was thick and traveled in long
looping casts which he repeated
until he allowed it to float gently
to the water.
He would gracefully pull the
rod back and the line would be
tugged from the water and travel
that beautiful arcing path behind
him, then he would haul it forward
then back again in some kind of
aerial ballet.
His jaw was clenched down on
a briar pipe and he didn’t just look
like he was showing off for some
TV show; he was really enjoying himself. He finally landed a
salmon and, pulling the briar from
his lips, sang a smiling song that
only Bing could pull off. He was
genuinely happy; he wasn’t acting.
I didn’t understand the rod, the
methods or anything else about
what Bing was doing. I only knew
that I wanted to try this kind of
fishing. I wanted to be that happy
again.
It was February, but I still
Weekend Doctor
By MARK J. JOHANNIGMAN
Medication reconciliation is a term used by health care
organizations to describe how medications are managed for
their patients. The basic premise is that patients inform their
health care provider of the medications they are taking, the
medication strength, and how frequently they are taking
the medications.
The medications can then be continued, held, or stopped
by the provider while they are caring for the patient.
When the patients have completed their visit, any changes
to the medications are then communicated to the next provider of care. While this seems simple, the reality is that it
is a complex and critical process involving many steps and
inherent risks.
One of the risks involved is simply determining the right list of medications so that
your therapy can be adjusted to get the right
health outcomes. There is a list that the provider or providers want you to take; there is
another list of what you actually have filled
by a pharmacy and may be taking; and there
is yet another list that includes what you are
actually taking on a routine basis.
Decisions are routinely made based on
what your health care provider thinks you
Johannigman
are taking.
For example, if a provider thinks you are
taking your blood pressure medication when you really are
not, they may add another medication to help control it if
the readings are still high. If the two medications are then
actually taken together, your blood pressure could drop significantly, causing health problems.
Another risk is the accuracy of the medication list. Many
patients have no list of their current medications, and those
that do often have incomplete information. Minor differences
in medication names can make a big difference in what you
are actually taking.
The dose of medication, how you are taking the medication, and when you are taking the medication are important.
Some patients are poor historians and are not able to verbalize what they are taking.
Without a written list, they sometimes only know their
medications as a “blue pill that I take at bedtime.”
In order to provide the best health care possible and
reduce the risk of medication-related problems, Blanchard
Valley Health System and other leading health care providers are integrating pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
in medication reconciliation.
Utilizing their knowledge of medications, appropriate
dosing and side effects, the pharmacy group can catch many
problems that would otherwise go undetected.
Changes in technology now allow for the utilization of
prescription claims data to view what patients actually have
filled at pharmacies compared to what the provider actually
has prescribed. The claims data also enables us to know if
you have been compliant with your medications.
The evolution of the electronic medical record allows for
medication lists to be shared between health systems and
select provider offices. Online patient health portals allow
for secure viewing of medications that can be transmitted
by the patients to their providers.
Finally, the patient plays a significant role. Patients should
always carry an updated medication list with them. They
should also take their actual medication bottles with them
to any hospital or provider visit. Medication lists should be
reviewed by a pharmacist on a routine basis and patients are
encouraged to ask questions about their therapy.
While medications have the ability to significantly
improve the health of our patients, they can also lead to
significant risk if they are not managed appropriately.

‘Stayin’ Alive’ beat helps save
New York subway worker’s life
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York subway worker has survived
electrocution on the third rail thanks to a co-worker performing
CPR to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive.”
Monique Brathwaite tells the Daily News she remembers nothing
about her fall onto the deadly rail that powers trains.
The 35-year-old mother of four was hospitalized after Friday’s
accident in a Manhattan tunnel during maintenance work. She
later learned co-worker David Martinez rushed to her side to do
life-saving chest compressions.
Martinez says he suddenly remembered reading the rhythm
of the Bee Gees’ 1977 disco hit song was perfect for CPR — 103
beats per minute.
Brathwaite was badly burned and will need skin grafts. She
calls Martinez her hero.

BING CROSBY’S guest spot on “The American Sportsman” (above)
inspired columnist Jim Abrams, then 13 years old, to continue his
efforts at fly fishing after losing his father.
picked up a glass seven-weight
rod and a Daiwa automatic reel
at a sporting goods dealer, even
though I had no idea how to use
them. I then stopped at the library
and checked out every book about
fly fishing. My first casts with
that rod were made across our
snow-swept yard. The neighbors
thought I was nuts.
That now seems like a long
time ago and, since that time, I’ve
improved my equipment and my
skills. More importantly, Bing had
brought me something I thought I
might have lost, something I still
experience with each cast.
Today too many of the shows
about hunting and fishing concentrate too much upon the kill. It has
to be the biggest, the most or at
least the coolest video. They turn
something natural into a competition and that just isn’t how most
sportsmen operate. Sometimes, I
think they miss the happy.
I wish that Bing’s kind of show
still played on a Sunday afternoon.
There might be some kid that
needs it. You don’t have to be the
best, you just need to be.

Winter squash boasts health benefits
By CANDACE MAK
Say goodbye to soft-skinned
summer squash and hello to its
sturdy and stout winter cousin.
A colorful collection of winter
squash has made its debut at grocery stores and farmers markets.
Choose from an affordable variety
to add a tasty boost of nutrients to
your meals.
Did you know that you only need
to eat half a cup of cooked butternut
squash to get your entire daily value
of vitamin A?
Winter squash is a good source of
vitamin A, potassium, and vitamin
C. Vitamin A supports healthy eyes,
potassium enables muscle function,
and vitamin C supports healthy skin.
In addition, winter squash may
help reduce the risk of heart disease,
cancer, arthritis, and respiratory disease.
Kristen
Stewart
admits she’s
a workaholic
NEW YORK (AP) — Three
films in this year’s New York Film
Festival certainly qualify Kristen
Stewart as a workaholic, but the
actress doesn’t think that’s such
a bad thing.
“Oh yeah, I’m totally addicted,
man... I get super obsessed with
stuff, you know, and which is to
a fault. But it’s served me well,”
said Stewart.
Since the “Twilight” franchise,
the actress has quietly amassed an
impressive body of work, including
a trio of very different films at this
year’s festival. They are “Certain
Women,” directed by Kelly Reichardt; Olivier Assayas’s “Personal
Shopper”; and Ang Lee’s “Billy
Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.”
With a diverse set of roles since
portraying Bella in the “Twilight”
series, Stewart doesn’t feel her
evolution was intentional and says
she just got lucky.
“Honestly, it was not like a
tactical approach, you know what
I mean? I’ve always known that
if I have a certain dynamic with
someone or conversation, it’s
either leading to productivity or
not,” Stewart said.
Besides acting, Stewart wants
to direct, too, and working with
Lee and Reichardt gave her a
unique perspective, especially
since the two take a completely
different approach to directing a
film.
“I think they are both absolute
geniuses when it comes to being
composed, and when it comes to
being aware of something that
we’re not aware of. They see the
invisible and they capture it, and
that’s what I would like to do while
making movies,” Stewart said.
But Stewart leans toward
Reichardt’s style.
“Seeing Kelly steel-train her
way through a movie that seems
so natural, but is so deliberate... It
makes me want to work now, like
start working, now,” Stewart said.
As for her own celebrity,
Stewart doesn’t see herself as an
insider. “I’m so famous,” Stewart
joked before saying, “I don’t even
know what that means.”
Acorn, butternut, delicata, Hubbard, spaghetti squash and pumpkin
are just a few of the choices available.
Find one that is heavy for its size
and has firm skin without cuts or soft
spots. Store in a cool, dry place to
keep it for three months.
Rinse before use with cool water.
Do not use soap.
Winter squash can be microwaved, baked or steamed. Remember to scoop out the seeds and
strings.
To microwave, place cut-side
down in a microwave-safe dish. Pour
¼-inch of water into the dish. Pierce
skin many times with a knife, then
microwave on high for six to seven
minutes, letting it stand for five minutes.
To bake halves, place cut-side
up in a dish with ¼-inch of water at
350 degrees, uncovered for 45 minutes. Baked squash cooks as fast as
a baked potato.
To steam squash, it must be
cleaned, peeled, and cut into chunks
first. Then place it in a steamer
basket over boiling water.
It’s ready to eat when it forks
easily.
Use cinnamon and brown sugar
or serve with apples and nuts to
season it sweet. Add herbs and vegetable oil to give it a savory kick.
Winter squash is easy on your
wallet, simple to fix, and loaded with
nutrients for better health. Here’s a
simple side dish recipe to add fall
flavor to your next meal.

Mexican Tortilla Chicken Soup
Start to finish: 45 minutes; Servings: 4 to 6
For the soup:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon pure ancho chili powder
1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
6 cups chicken broth, preferably
low-sodium
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground
black pepper, to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
(about 1½ pounds)
Canola or vegetable oil, for pan-frying
6 corn tortillas, halved and cut
crosswise into thin strips
Juice of 1 lime
By KATIE WORKMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
To serve (optional, pick and choose):
1 or 2 avocados, peeled and diced
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh
cilantro leaves
Salsa or pico de gallo
1 lime, cut into wedges
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over
medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and
sauté until tender and golden, 5 minutes. Stir
in the cumin, coriander and chili powder and
cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the tomatoes
and chicken broth, season with salt and pepper,
and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add the
chicken breasts and lower the heat to mediumlow. Simmer uncovered (don’t let the soup come
to a boil), stirring occasionally, until the chicken
is just barely cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Remove the chicken to a plate and let sit until
cool enough to handle. Keep the soup gently simmering over medium-low heat.
Meanwhile, pour the oil to a depth of 1 inch
into a medium skillet and heat over mediumhigh heat. Line a plate with a couple of paper
towels. When the oil is hot, add the tortilla strips
in batches and fry, stirring often, until they
are crisp and lightly colored, about 2 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon to the plate, and
sprinkle lightly with salt while they are still hot.
Shred the slightly cooled chicken, and stir it
and the lime juice into the soup.
Ladle the soup into soup bowls and top with
the fried tortilla strips, along with your choice
of diced avocado, cheese, cilantro, salsa and lime
wedges.
TODD COLEMAN / For the Associated Press
ALMOST EVERY culture has its own version of chicken soup and the Mexican version spices it up quite a bit.
Garnishes like avocado, cilantro, lime wedges and more can really make this dish a standout.
I find it a source of great comfort that pretty much every culture,
every cuisine, has its own interpretation of chicken soup.
The Mexican version in particular speaks to me, scented with
chilies and spices like cumin and
coriander, riddled with slightly
softened tortilla chips.
In Mexico, whole chilies may
be used, often toasted and then
crumbled into the soup. I rely on
dried chili powder, pure ancho if
you can find it, but in this recipe,
regular blended chili powder also
works just fine.
Cooking the chicken breasts in
the broth enriches both broth and
chicken, but if you are in a rush,
go ahead and use about 3 cups of
shredded cooked chicken, maybe
from a rotisserie chicken. Need one
more shortcut? Skip the frying of
the tortillas; grab a bag of tortilla
chips, lightly crush a few handfuls
and use those instead.
The garnishes are what make
this soup so special. Do not be
timid with the offerings: An assortment of shredded cheese, diced
avocado, fresh cilantro, salsa and
lime wedges will turn a comforting
soup into a feast.
You can make the soup ahead —
stopping after adding the chicken
— and keep it refrigerated up to
four days. Reheat, adding the lime
juice when you are ready to serve
(and, of course, don’t fry the tortillas or prep the toppings until just
before serving!).

QUESADILLAS ARE the perfect
last-minute meal to throw together
on trick-or-treat night. Kids can
consume the cheesy wedges while
gathering the pieces of their
costumes.
Simple, pre-trick-or-treat quesadillas allow for last-minute costuming
By KATIE WORKMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
If you have kids, you know
that thinking about dinner on
Halloween is not easy.
Getting the kids out the door
with a little something in their
stomachs besides candy is one
of the few things you can do to
wrangle a bit of order into this
free-for-all holiday.
My kids are too old to really
rein in their candy consumption,
so I just make something simple,
think of some faraway yoga pose
and look forward to rooting
around in their bags when they
get back.
Quesadillas fit the bill nicely
for Halloween: Kids can pick up
the cheesy wedges by hand and
eat while they look around for the
missing pieces of their costumes.
After they are on their way, the
quesadillas pair nicely with a
glass of wine for the grownups
left manning the door at home
(and the friends who are willing
to hang out with them).
This recipe’s particular combination of cheese, chicken and vegetables makes my family happy,
but quesadillas are a wonderful
springboard for combining all
kinds of ingredients, so feel free
to use what you like and what’s
in your fridge. If you have leftover, simply cooked chicken, use
it here. If not, this is what rotis-
Combine the two cheeses in a small bowl.
Heat 2 teaspoons of the butter in a skillet with a cover over
medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms
and sauté for about 8 minutes. The mushrooms will soften and
probably release some liquid as they cook. Continue cooking
until all of the liquid has been released, and evaporated, and
the mushrooms start to brown. Add the minced garlic and stir
for 30 seconds. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper,
and sauté for 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Turn the
vegetables onto a plate and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet, then return it to medium heat and add
a half teaspoon of butter. Place a tortilla in the pan and cook
for 30 seconds, then flip the tortilla. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of
the cheese mixture over half of the quesadilla, and distribute
a few tablespoons of both the sautéed vegetable mixture and
the shredded chicken over the cheese, as well as some of the
chopped olives, if desired. Top that with another 2 tablespoons
of the shredded cheese. Flip the bare half of the tortilla over
the filling, cover the pan, and sauté for about 2 minutes, until
the bottom is golden and the cheese has started to melt. Use a
spatula to flip the half-moon quesadilla and continue to cook,
uncovered, until all of the cheese is melted and the underside
is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it sit for
a minute before you slice into two or three wedges. Repeat
until all of the quesadillas are cooked. Serve with salsa and
sour cream.
serie chickens were meant for.
The olives are optional, but my
kids love them.
These make fat quesadillas,
which are so much more soulsatisfying than those flat, underfilled ones. I’d much rather have
two wedges of slightly overstuffed quesadillas than four
wedges of skinny ones. If you
prefer differently, use more tortillas and stuff them with less.
You can keep the quesadillas
warm on a baking sheet in a 250degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
Cut them into wedges just before
serving.
In addition to sour cream and
salsa, guacamole or diced avocado make fine toppings.

Fred Mead Hopkins was born
in Epworth, Iowa, July 12, 1975,
the son of Timothy and Augusta
A. (Brown) Hopkins, both now
deceased. His parents moved to
Dubuque, Iowa, in 1877, where
Mr. Hopkins made his home until
he came to Ohio.
His higher education was
received at the State University of
Iowa, from which he was graduated, in law, in 1895, receiving the
degree Of LI,B. He was admitted
to the Iowa bar and practiced law
in his native state, while he also
engaged in newspaper work in
Dubuque for a time.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American War, in April of 1898,
he enlisted in the 49th Iowa Volunteer Infantry and participated in
the Cuban campaign. He served as
a first sergeant.
In 1903, he became connected
with the Toledo News Bee and
the Toledo Times and in 1905,
went to the Toledo Blade, where
he was the city editor, from 1908
to 1912. He served as managing
editor of the Toledo Times in 1912
and 1913.
Mr. Hopkins purchased the
Fostoria Daily Review, an evening paper established in 1850,
in August of 1943. The Fostoria
Daily Times, another evening
paper, was purchased by his son,
E. M. Hopkins and the two papers
were consolidated into the Fostoria Review Times.

ACTIVISTS WOULD LIKE the U.S. government to ban a class of insecticides called neonics that they
blame for wiping out the bees that pollinate a majority of our food crops.

What’s killing the bees?
Pesticides are the
biggest threat to
our pollinators
Dear EarthTalk: Did anyone
ever figure out what has been
killing all the bees, and is there
anything we can do about it?
— Gerry Sanders, Wichita, KS
By now, we’ve all heard about
bees dying across the U.S. and
around the world. This isn’t
just bad news for beekeepers:
these amazing insects pollinate
upwards of two-thirds of our
food crops — all at no cost to
farmers or consumers. All we
need do is keep them around,
which is proving to be more and
more difficult.
A third of all beehives in the
U.S. have disappeared in the
last decade alone, a situation
that has been dubbed Colony
Collapse Disorder. Experts say
several factors are at play. First,
global warming has changed
weather patterns so profoundly
that bees have been unable to
adapt fast enough. Flowers now
bloom so early or late that they
don’t coincide with the active
season of pollinators, so when
bees emerge from hibernation the flowers they need for
food have already bloomed.
Another threat is habitat loss:
development, urbanization and
monoculture farming are decimating natural areas bees need
to thrive. And a new generation
of parasites is infiltrating hives
and impeding chemical communication between bees.
But perhaps the biggest
threats to bees are some of the
pesticides routinely used in agri-
culture, particularly neonicotinoids. Commonly referred to as
neonics, this increasingly popular class of insecticides is meant
to eliminate pests, but has been
proven to have an equally devastating impact on bees. Today,
seeds are engineered with neonics from the start, so this harmful chemical is present in the
plant, pollen and nectar. This
chemical, approximately 6,000
times more toxic to bees than
DDT, devastates bee central
nervous systems and makes it
impossible for them to relocate
their hives. Those bees that survive a first encounter aren’t off
the hook. They remain dazed
and inefficient. Neonics have
an addictive quality similar to
that of nicotine for humans, so
surviving bees inevitably return
to treated flowers until their
death.
Policy changes must address
this issue by rewarding farmers
for sustainable practices and
banning neonicotinoids for use
as pesticides. Unfortunately, big
agri-chemical companies like
Dow Chemical and Syngenta
make huge profits selling neonics and as such are reluctant to
withdraw them. The European
Union took steps to ban the use
of neonics in member countries
in 2013, although that ruling is
currently under review. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a few cities
and states have taken at least
symbolic action to reduce neonics, but without a federal ban on
the books such piecemeal efforts
can’t do much to help.
In Spring 2016, Jeff Merkley (D-OR) introduced a bill in
the U.S. Senate calling for new
policy initiatives and interagency coordination to restore
and enhance pollinator habitat
across the U.S. Key provisions
of Merkley’s Pollinator Recovery Act include setting aside
three million acres of public
land as expanded acreage for
“forage and habitat” for pollinators, g rant f unding for
R&D to develop crops to resist
pests without neonics, financial
incentives and technical assistance for farmers that adopt
pollinator-friendly practices,
and expanded health monitoring and population tracking for
bees and other key pollinators.
Concerned Americans should
urge their Senators to co-sponsor or support the Pollinator
Recovery Act. After all, protecting bees isn’t just important to
environmentalists but to anyone
who enjoys avocados, almonds
or any of the countless fruits,
vegetables or nuts pollinated
by our little black and yellow
friends.
