shey! brought to 42110 Russia Road, in Elyria, in the Lorain Coun-
ty Agricultural Center’s lobby through October 31.

This is a statewide collection to help boost the milkweed
population. Experts estimate that the eastern population of
Monarchs has diminished by 90% over the past twenty years.
Much of the loss in milkweeds stems from conversion of land
to agricultural uses and other development, and the increasing
efficiency of herbicides used in control of non-crop plants.

To collect the seed pods from a milkweed plant, it is best
to pick them when they are dry, gray or brown in color. If the
center seam pops with gentle pressure, they can be picked. It
is best to collect pods into paper bags or paper grocery sacks.
Avoid using plastic bags because they attract moisture. Store
seeds in a cool, dry area until you can deliver to the closest
pod collection area. Harvesting pods from milkweed plants
does not have any effect on the population of milkweed in
established areas.

All milkweed pods collected during this time will be pro-
cessed by OPHI partners, and all of the seed collected will be
used to establish new plantings and create additional habitat
for the Monarch Butterfly throughout Ohio.

in many people.

· Candles: The combination of subtle, low flickering light
and relaxing aromas can make candles soothing gifts. Put to-
gether an entire gift package with decorative candle holders or
a nice tray on which candles of various heights can be placed.

· Home aquarium: Stress can melt away watching under-
water life flick and flitter through the aquarium. Combined with
soothing bubbles and the gentle hum and splash of the filter, it
is easy to see how having a fish tank in the home can alleviate
stress. Make sure the gift recipient is able to care for the fish
and select low-maintenance species.

· Bed linens: Treat someone special to the gift of added
relaxation in the bedroom. Buying bed linens is often a chore
and an expense that people put off. Pima cotton, silk, satin, or
sateen sheets can be cool, comfortable and soothing.

· Facial treatment: A massage session can be relaxing, but
so can a facial. There’s something serene about having a pro-
fessional apply products and rub areas of the face and tem-
ples. Stress will slip away in an instant.

Pampering gifts can help ease anxiety, tame stress and
help anyone feel more relaxed and happy.
