Rio~s Madog Center gets 'n ew director RIO GRANDE - The new director of the Madog Center. · for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Cominunity , College hrings a wealth bf knowledge about Wales and southem Ohio to the position . In March, Timothy Jilg will take over as the new director of the Madog Center. A native of Ohio, Jilg graduated from Kent State University in 1995. While a student at Kent State, he traveled· to England for two terms as an exchange student. After· graduating, he moved to Wales and continued hi s studies at Cardiff Universiry, where he earned his master's and doctoral degrees,.and began his career. "My interest in the country was first piqued when I was very young. My older brother, an avid reader arid ' Britophile.' used to read tale s from Britain 10 me as a child . Some of my favoritl! stories came from the collection' of Welsh folk tales, 'The Mabinogion .' Ever since, I have been fascinated with the country,'; Jilg said. When he was an exchange student in England, he spent most weekends traveling in Wales learning . the language and beginning to understand the culture. Upon finishing his studies at Kent State University, Jilg knew. that he wanted to continue his studies and then work in Wales. . "I have been teaching Welsh to adults for five years, both for the Ceredigion County Council and for the American Office at Trinity College , Carmarthen," Jilg said . "I thoroughly enjoy working with the students and feel tha; having learned the language myself has given me a unique perspective of the challenges faced by learners." · For the American Office at Trinity College, Jilg also taught about the history of Wales . and led field trip s around the country. Anxious for a new opportunity, J ilg found the perfect fit for his skills and experience with the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at Rio Grande. He first became acquainted with the Madog Center when he met Rio Grande representatives Kara Lewis and Mark Abell at the 'National Gymanfa Ganu in Minneapolis in 1999. "I was surprised and excited that there was a center promot. ing and celebrating Weishness and Welsh-American heritage in my home state," Jilg said. He has since visited Rio Grande Md the Madog Center a few times, and has been very impressed with everything he has seen . "I was amazed and delighted' to see how strong the Welsh identity is in the community as well as the support and depth of feelings for all things Welsh," Jilg said. "I would like to continue to promote · the relationship between the community aHd the center and hope to strengthen the already promi- nent Welsh-American atmosphere of the area." As the new· director of the Madog <;:enier, JiJg. has several goals for improving upon the work being done at Rio Grande. "I would like to develop the centef from an academic standpoint, not only in reference to its connections with other universities, but also as an academic center in its own right," Jilg said. One project that he is particularly interested in is the effort starte'd by Lewis in recording members of the community discussing what being Welsh-American means to them. · Jilg hopes to eventually publish a series of articles, or possibly a book, under the center ' s name about these jnterviews. Jilg has numerous other goals, such as publishing articles based on items in the Welsh-American Heritage Museum at the Madog Center and creating a Web site for the online teaching of Welsh. His plans are still in the' early stages, but Jilg said he is very excited about the many different opportunities for growth at the Madog Center. Rio Grande officials are also very excited to nave Jilg leading the center. · "We feel fortunate to have him coming to Rio Grande," Rio Grande President' Dr. Barry Dorsey said. .

Jilg has traveled around the world for his studies and his career, and he · is anxious to bring his knowledge and skills to Rio Grande. "I . will miss Wales, but know that there will be opportunities to come back and that I will be in close, regular contact with numerous organizations and individuals · in Wale s in an attempt to -strengthen tie s between the Madog Center and this country," Jilg said.

Constant trudg ing up and down stairs, forced stooping to retrieye pots and pans, slippery bath,tubs and dimly lit rooms are but a few of the issues older , . homeowners deal with on a repetitive basis , But there are encouraging signs of the continued emergence of a design approach called universal design or UD. Universal design hold> that homes and many home products oug])t to be designed for ease of use. With many .seniors insistent on remaining in their home as long as possible, the notion 'of universal design and accessibility takes on added significance. . · Many home designers and product makers are well down the path to universal design adherence . But.the movement still has far to go to be considered. mainstream by most homeowners. In fact. universal design is seen in commercial buildings to' .a far greater degree than is found in most homes. Thi s is especially true when it comes to room makeovers. While designers are particularly keen to meld in UD themes in new construction. most home- · owners don't give ease of use and movement a sec<i>nd thought when planning improvements. · Typical improvements associated with universal design include low (or ·no) thresholds between rooms, handrails in hallways. baths and shower stalls, elevated kitchen counters with cutouts to bring sinks closer, and transition from knobs to levers tha\ open with a nudge rather than a twist. Yet those are the most visible of changes. UniYersal design has many subtler aspects, tclO. . So what's a homeowner to do'' First. brush up on universal design . Some resources include the Center for Universal Design at North · Carolina State University (www.des.ign.ncsu .edu/cud) and Kansas State Universitys department of apparel,' textiles and interior design at www.k>u .edu/humec/atid!UDF Next . examine your own li ving situat ion as you undert;ike a remodeling or makeover project. Does anyone in the household have back, leg or arm pains that inhibit movement, Are stairs a hurdle r;lther than a help'' Is your stomge accessible without excessive ·stooping and bending° For example, if 'you remodel a ~athroom. you might consider universal design elements in terms of non-skid rugs or tlooring, handrails in shower stalls and along rubs, wider shower doors with minimal thresholds, showers with seats, levered faucets, elevated toiletS, and brighter, mption activated lighting.

Bv CANDACE PoLLocK OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PIKETON - · New blackberry. varieties .are now avail-· able to Ohio fruit growers that erase the production limitation associated with ,crop overwintering. Primocane blackberries are a new kind of plant designed specifically for temperature-sensitive areas. Whereas traditional blackberry varieties grown in Ohio face limitations because of winter kill, primocane blackberries can survive winter conditions with temperatures dropping as low as zero degrees Fahrenheit. "Fluctuating temperatures .during winter limits production of less-hardy blackberry varieties," said Shawn Wright, an Ohio State University horticulturist w(th the South Centers at Piketon in Piketon. "Primocane berries, because of their winter hardiness. may have potential in Ohio." Wright will discuss primocane blackberry production and cultivars that are available · at the Berry Growers School, being . held Feb. 25 frorri 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ohio . State's South Centers at Piketon. Pre-registration for the conference is $50, due by Feb. 18. Atthe-door registration is $60. Fees indudc a lunch. Research on primocane blackberries has been led by , John R. Clark with the Department of Horticulture at the University of Arkansas. South Centers is in its .first year of evaluations of the fruit, and the Ohio studies mark the first use of the berries in the state. Wright said that primocane blackberries are an attractive alternative for fruit growers because of · their low maintenance. ·They are meant to be mowe4 back in the fall, result. ing in little pruning labor. Additionally, unlike most traditional varieties that bear fruit on the second year canes, primocane blackberries will bear fruit the first year the cane becomes established. One. drawback is that primocane blackberries are very thorny. Two cultivars of primacane blackberries are currently available: · Prime Jim and Prime Jan. They were made available for purchase through nurseries just last year. Other topics of discussion at the Berry Growers · School include management of berry crop pests, raspberry production, · plasticulture strawberries and disease management. Presenters include researchers from Ohio State Extension and research and P,enn State University.
