Uncovering the mystery behind white squirrel sightings in central Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — White squirrels are once again catching the eyes and imaginations of people in central Ohio. A recent traveler to Columbus sent NBC4 pictures of his encounter with the striking rodent in the Victorian Village area. 'I was visiting relatives at Harrison on 5th by Senior Star for about ten days and took our dog on several long walks a day through the beautiful neighborhood,' wrote Slawomir Siejka in an email to NBC4. 'It's a great area for walking, but the highlight was definitely seeing this beautiful white squirrel at about Fifth and Michigan. I had never seen one and kind of couldn't believe my eyes at first.' List: 2025 last day of school dates around Columbus and central Ohio According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, most white squirrels in these sightings are, in reality, eastern gray squirrels. Ohio's other species of squirrels, including the American red squirrel, fox squirrel, and the southern flying squirrel, can also be white or even black. Wildlife Management Supervisor Gary Comer explained that when it comes to 'squirrels that exhibit unique colors,' there are three genetic possibilities. The first is albinism, which results in the absence of pigment in the skin, fur, and eyes, leading to a white appearance with pink or blue eyes. Estimates suggest a female gray squirrel has a 1 in 100,000 chance of giving birth to an albino offspring. The second is leucism, which causes a partial loss of pigment, resulting in a paler or whiter coat, but the eyes are usually dark. The third is melanism, where an increased amount of black or nearly black pigmentation in an organism results in a darker appearance. Many white squirrel images NBC4 has received over the years, like Siejka's, were taken around Victorian Village and Goodale Park. Comer revealed that there can be established 'colonies' of white squirrels, either albino or leucistic, where these variations are more common. The traits of albinism or leucism are often found in pockets and many individuals can share a common ancestry. 'To some people, white squirrels are also known as mythological creatures that symbolize the coming of change and the need to prepare for it,' said Comer. 'Or, they could be a symbol of good luck, mainly because you don't see them very often.' Ohioans get green light to collect signatures to get property tax issue on ballot These legends or folklore might seem prophetic to Siejka. 'I've just recently moved to the U.S. from Poland and sent the photos to my extended family in Gdynia — also very amazed!' Siejka told NBC4. One other detail Comer shared was that white squirrels can be more vulnerable to predators due to their increased visibility. Exhibiting a stark contrast with their environment and potential vision deficiencies puts them at risk. However uncommon white squirrels might be in the Buckeye State, finding out what squirrel is most prevalent might be even more surprising. 'The most common squirrel in Ohio, believe it or not, is the flying squirrel,' Comer said. 'Most people are completely unaware of flying squirrels as they are nocturnal and almost all of their activity is at night.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

COSI's Big Science Celebration festival comes to a close
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The rain did not dampen the fun at COSI's 'Big Science Celebration'. Saturday marked the final day of the 7th annual festival. NBC4 is a proud sponsor of the four-day event that kicked off Wednesday. The family-friendly hands-on experience showed central Ohioans just how fun science can be. Lots of different experiments were on display as people from near and far came together to celebrate science. 'Our mission is to improve people's lives through the transforming power of science,' Michael Dennis, chief science officer at CAS, said. New Upper Arlington coffee shop serves coffee with a cause CAS is a division of the American Chemical Society. Dennis said he wants to pay it forward for the children who may not know they're scientists yet, but are so inquisitive that they will be someday. 'Many of us are scientists and we want to excite those future scientists, those future doctors, those future engineers,' Dennis said. 'So that's why we think this hands-on experience is so much more tangible than something that you just read in a book or see on a screen.' The main focus of the festival was all about making science exciting and engaging regardless of your background. What set this year's Big Science Celebration apart – a moon seed was planted at COSI. 'NASA is sending its next people to the moon,' Dr. Frederic Bertley, president and CEO of COSI, said. 'The first woman and the first person of color and others will land on the moon. It's part of the Artemus NASA program. Well, they launched a capsule around the moon with no astronauts, but they put in seeds. And so these seeds rotated around the moon and came back to Earth.' Dr. Frederic Bertley, president and CEO of COSI, said there are only 40 moon seeds in the world which makes having a moon tree in central Ohio that much more special. To top it off, there were several familiar faces in the crowd. Storm Team 4 meteorologists Joe Speir, Ben Gelber and Bryan Still, along with NBC4 Today anchor Monica Day took part in the fun. 'Every experience you're doing something hands on and the way your brain is wired, the neurophysiology of how we think and learn, when you touch and feel and manipulate things with your hands, it allows you to learn deeper and better,' Dr. Bertley said. People learned from hundreds of interactive science tents, showcasing everything from high-tech displays by major companies like Batelle and Honda, to creative exhibits from local small businesses and organizations. 'When you're doing it yourself, doing the experiment and it works, or you achieve whatever you try to achieve, you feel like I can do this, I can do anything,' Dr. Bertley said. 'And that's super inspiring as well.' The theme of this year's festival was 'United by Science'. 'It's watching the eyes and the reactions of not just the kids, but the adults,' Dr. Bertley said. 'Like when they have an experience, you can tell that they're so excited to be experiencing that. And that just warms your heart.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Dr. Robert Stone, first chair of UNM Department of Pathology, hailed from UCLA and he enticed his UCLA resident, Gary, to transfer to UNM. Dr. Stone was like a magnet, drawing the best and brightest to the UNM Department of Pathology. As Dr. Long said, "each knew that something good was happening at the UNM School of Medicine, though in its infancy." Dr. Long was assigned responsibility for teaching the sophomore medical school class. Gary was thrown into this position during his residency as many realized that Gary was the resident who loved teaching the most. Dr. Long enjoyed international travel. As a medical student, he worked on an anti-microbial program in Tahiti and on a anti-filariasis and anti-malaria program in American Samoa. He and the whole American team were honored by the King of Tonga who had heard of the good works that the Americans were accomplishing. He traveled to Brazil to help control and collect samples from a smallpox outbreak. He was recruited to be in charge of the clinical microbiology laboratory at VAMC in Albuquerque, where he remained for 15 years and also met his wife Debra. He attended Grand Rounds at UNMH and enjoyed the Infectious Disease Seminars, especially the annual Infectious Disease Conference held in Carmel, CA. He played a big part of the Pathology Resident Program and served on many steering committees. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Debra, his sisters Susan Farrell and Sharron Vahlstrom (Wally) and Terry Gabriel (Bert). He had six special nieces and nephews and grand nieces and grand nephews and his godson Tom McConnell II.
