 Buckeye Lake's island bog is shrinking into extinction. The youngest of the group was the bravest. Twenty-one-year-old Amber Scimone rolled up a pink shirtsleeve to her elbow and plunged her finely manicured fingernails into the dead vegetation. "It was really cold and creepy," said Scimone, of West Farmington, in Trumbull County. "It felt like I stuck my hand into something 13,000 years old."
