That breaks down to 11 S steers, 135 lambs, 462 hogs. 63 feeder calves. 71 goats and 97 small animals, such as chickens and rabbits. ''The general projects are down and the number of hogs are down some," Winters said. "Everything else is about the same." Nevertheless, the response to entering projects in the fair remains strong among 4-Hers, FFA members and scouts. "It's the same amount of kids. but the number of projects was fewer, probably due to the economy," she said.

I \Vorked din school and believed it would pay off in the JOb mar· ket. However, I have found it difficult to find employment. The only place willing to hire me was the grocery store where I worked when I was in high school. I live in an expensive area and my wages are low. so I ha\e a hard time paying my bills. I often resot1 to eating expired food at work and forgoing expenses like fixing my car. When I developed health problems last year. it cost me my entire savings. I am uninsured and worry what would happen if I got sick again. I've been told I make $20 too much each month to qualify for food stamps. Asking my parents for help is not an option. To make ends meet, I have had to make some moral compromises. Namely, I've ed shoplifting. At first, I food from the grocery e once in a while. but lately it's become a daily occurrence. I've also started stealing from other places. I'm careful. but I know eventuall) it will catch up to me and make my life even worse. But 1 can't seem to stop. I feel I deserve to have these things. I know I sound crazy. I can't afford counseling. What can I do? Confused in California Dear California: We understand the economic difficulties. but you have crossed an ethical and legal line and l l must find a way to extricate yourself from this mess before you end up in jail. Shoplifting is often a symptom of compulsive behavior. and in your case, you obviously have some anger about the job situation, along with a sense of entitlement, both of which feed your compulsion. Contact Shoplifters Anonymous (shopliftersanonymous.com) at C.A.S.A .. P.O. Box 250008, Franklin. MI 48025 for information and support. In the meantime. please move to a less expensive area and get a roommate before you arc assigned one in your pnson cell. Dear Annie: I am an 87year-old widower and have a 71-year-old girlfriend who is a widow. We have been going together nearly five years. I want to marry her. but she is reluctant. My family has met her and overwhelmingly approves. But she refuses to allow me to meet any of her family or friends. She has three children, and her mother is still living. She says they wouldn't like me and would resent my taking her away from them when they need her. I am in good health. Money is not a problem. My friends tell me I should find someone else before it is too late. I don't want to meet any other lady. She is the one for me. We love each other and have a great time when we can be together. I am tired of living alone. I told her that in exactly one month I am going to make them aware of our relationship. Any suggestions? - Lonely Dear Lonely: In many instances where someone refuses to introduce family members and friends, it is because the other person is either married or seeing someone else. However, many widows have difl1culty asserting their own needs. If your girlfriend is passive about your ultimatum. it likely means she tacitly approves and wants you to take charge of the situation. If she vigorously protests. however. we do not see this relationship progressing beyond its current state. Sorry. Dear Annie: "Not That Fat," whose husband recently left her. said, "Now that I'm going to be single, I realize I should focus on looking better." How could you let that go without comment? I guess once she finds another husband she can let herself go again. Isn't that the implication? - Steve in Rockford, Ill. Dear Steve: It does seem so. doesn't it? Both men and women try harder when looking to impress a date, but it requires a lot of effort to maintain.

There are 151 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: One hundred years ago, on Aug. 2, 1909, the original Lincoln penny (with two ears of wheat on the reverse side) first went into circulation, replacing the ''Indian Head" cent. On this date: In 1776, members of the Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence. In 1873, inventor AndrewS. Hallidie successfully tested a cable car he had designed for the city of San Francisco. In 1876. frontier~man "Wild Bill'' Hickok was ~hut and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged. In 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco: Vice Pres;dent Calvin Coolidge became president. In 1927, four years after becoming president, Calvin. Coolidge issued a written statement to reporters: "I do not choose to run for President in nineteen twenty-eight." In 1934, German President Paul von Hindenburg died, paving the way for Adolf Hitler's complete takeover. In 1939, Albert Einstein signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging creation of an atomic weapons research program. President Roosevelt signed the Hatch Act, which prohibited civil service employees from taking an active part in political campaigns. In 1943, during World War II, Navy boat PT-109, com-· manded by Lt. John F. Kennedy. sank after being rammed by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri off the Solomon Islands. In 1964, the destroyer USS Maddox suffered light damage from North Vietnamese patrol torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. In 1985, 135 people were killed when a Delta Air Lines jetliner crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Ten years ago: Launching another salvo in a war of nerves with rival Taiwan, China announced it had test-fired a new long-range missile. A train collision in India claimed nearly 300 lives. Five years ago: President George W. Bush urged creation of a national intelligence director to coordinate the war on terrorism but witholJt the sweeping powers for hiring, firing and spending recommended by the September 11th commission. Turkish truckers stopped hauling goods for U.S. forces in Iraq after the shooting of a Turkish hostage was shown on the Internet. Police in Salt Lake City arrested Mark H.acking, whose wife, Lori, had disappeared. (Hacking later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.) One year ago: Police in southern Afghanistan reported a bus carrying a wedding party had struck a mine, killing 10 people, including the bride and groom; meanwhile, two French humanitarian aid workers kidnapped on July 18 were released.

Because you're gay, that's enough grounds to kick you out." Under current law, sexual preference IS enough to kick him out. That's why the law should be changed. In 1993, President Clinton signed legislation establishing the current "don't ask, don't tell" standard. Gays can only serve if they don't have sex or talk about their orientation. Since then, about 13,000 homosexuals have been expelled from the military, more than 250 since President Obama took office. The rationale for the policy was that national security demanded it. As the legislation put it, allowing gays to serve openly "would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline. and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability." SToP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE, But is there a price to pay if gay soldiers like Choi and Tsao are retained?

Gay actiVIsts insist he can reverse the policy through executive order. The president maintains that only Congress can revise the statute, and since he has more pressing business on Capitol Hill. gay rights will have to wait. Fair· enough, we're not suggesting that Obama repeat Clinton's mistake and let gays in the military cloud his first year. But the president should not wait too long to take up the issue. Public opinion and political sentiment are moving steadily in favor of change, and Obama can help accelerate that momentum. In announcing that the Senate Armed Services Committee would hold a hearing on the issue this fall, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand got it right w. she said: "By repealing policy, we will increase America's strength - both militarily and morally." Dan Choi proves her point.

The scare was over in a few hours, but it disrupted travel plans for thousands of people as flights .were postponed and vehicle traffic to the airport was briefly halted. Delays also rippled across the country as airlines adjusted their schedules. Authorities identified the man as Scott McGann, 32, of New York. He had a ticket on a United Airlines flight that was headed to Chicago, with connecting flights that would have ultimately taken him to Oakland. Calif. McGann faces charges including placing a false bomb in a transportation facility and making tenoristic threats. The trouble began shortly after 5 a.m., when McGann checked in for a flight and immediately began attract- Obama campaign style unchanged as president Bv L1z SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Chevron donates land for Code Talkers museum FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - As members of an elite group of Navajo Marines approach their 90s, they know th~re's .little time left to tell the story about how they used therr native language to confound the Japanese during World War II. Their vision for a venue to tell those stories, including the years in which they kept their role a secret, is closer to reality. Chevron Mining Inc. recently donated 208 acres of land to the association for a museum and veterans center. Keith Little and his fellow Marines want to preserve the . .de Talkers legacy that is better known to Navajos but not ~ell by the rest of the country. And with the recent passmg of four Code Talkers within five weeks , including one of the original 29 who helped develop the unbreakable code·. there's a greater sense of urgency. "We want to tell the story, demonstrate it, show it off." said the 85-year-old Little from Crystal, N.M. and president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association. Chevron Mining President Fred Nelson signed over the land to the Code Talkers during a ceremony near the tribal capital of Window Rock on Friday. Some 95 percent of the workers at Chevron's McKinley Mine are Navajo, and Nelson said donating the land just off the highway made sense. 'These are some of America's heroes," he said. Several hundred Navajos served as Code Talkers during the war, using their language to transmit military messages on enemy tactics, Japanese troop move.ments and other battlefield information. They took part m every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. After the war, the Code Talkers were told to keep their work a secret and forget about what they leamed. Even after their role in the war was declassified in 1968, they remained hesitant to discuss it even with their families. Yvonne Murphy didn't know her father was a Code Talker until she saw him wearing a uniform when she was 16. but even then she didn't question him because that's seen as disrespectful in the Navajo culture. "It took me a while to fully understand what it was and what they had done during t.h e war," she sai~. "All tho~e in my childhood, we grew u.p n<;>t kno::vmg. Even m schools, they didn't teach that m h1story. Less than 100 Code Talkers are believed to still be alive. and just three remain of the original group. Little and others see the museum as a place where they can tell their stories firsthand as a way to preserve their traditions. culture and language that is fading in the younger generations. They want to display World War II memorabilia and provide a place where other veterans can chat . . among themselves and have a cup of c?ffee. The cost for the first phase of the proJeCt th~t ~111 mclude the museum is expected to be between $20 mtlhon and $30 million. Later phases will include a veterans center, a~d ,possibly a medical clinic, commercial property to sustam the museum and a language institute. Roughly a half-dozen Their mother.

Police received two calls about an apparently intoxicated or sLspicious passenger before he had even reached a security check- · point, said John Kelly. a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Security officials said he was "just acting crazy," Kelly said. Authorities detained McGann when he didn't respond to questions. A search of his bag turned up an assemblage of batteries and wires that police thought was intended to look like a bomb. Kelly said. The terminal was evacuated at around 5:30 a.m. Investigators quickly determined that the device wasn't dangerous, but travelers became inconvenienced as flights were postponed and traffic backed up outside. Passengers didn · t get back in to the terminal until close to 9 a.m. LaGuardia handles about 70 flights per hour, both departures and arrivals. BRISTOL. Va. At times, it seems like Barack Obama has time-traveled back to last summer when he was simply a Democrat running for the White House. Only now, he's the president, and he's facing a more complicatea objective and opponent as he campaigns to overhaul a costly health care system. Yet , there he was last Wednesday. jetting to this Virginia town to talk to supermarket workers from a platform between the bakery and deli. Earlier, he bounded onto a flag-draped stage at a North Carolina high school to cheers from an adoring throng of 2,000. At both sites, he made remarks, took questions and shook hands. He also recently appeared at an interest group forum, AARP. toured the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and lent his starpower to Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine of New Jersey at political events typical stops when he was the Democratic nominee. Obama 's pitch has been same everywhere: the Congress quickly must pass health care legislation; this is not "socialized medicine" that Republicans decry; people who have health care will not lose it. At each stop. Obama is his usual wonky professor change but has increasing doubts about qbarna's ability to pull it off. Even so, Obama is approaching this challenge as he did the one in 2008 at least in style, for top advisers recognize that Obama· himself is his presidency's best asset. The strategy comes with a xisk of overexposure, a diluting of the Obama "brand" advisers are so careful to protect. Many politicians over the years have had difficulty translating cap1paign success into governing success. So far, it seems that Obama 's postelection campaigning has helped convert his popularity into support for his policies. He successfully lobbied for passage of the economic stimulus only to watch fhe public grow skeptical of its effects. He scored a major victory with House passage of climateand-energy legislation but the bill didn't go as far as he had wanted, and its fate is less certain in the Sen,ate. Whether Obama 's approach works on health care remains to be seen. The president won't get votes by the full House and yet charming everyman self, in his usual dark suit and tie, fielding the usual offbeat questions with ease and playing by his usual rules: "I'm just going to call on people as they raise their hand. I'll go girl, boy. girl, boy so that people don't think I'm biased." Just like his 2008 campaign - but not. Six months into his presidency. Obama's campaigntrail approach to curry favor with the public seems vil1ually unchanged from a year ago when he ran against Republican John McCain. And virtually every state Obama visits now was competitive in that election. But. these days, Obama's mission is different, arguably more challenging. It used to be winning the White House with one opponent, McCain and the Republicans , in an environment that tilted strongly toward Democratic victory. Obama's objective now is winning passage of his domestic priority, battling both conscrvati ve-to-moderate Democrats whose concerns over the legislation have slowed progress and Republican critics who have ratcheted up attacks and made compromise more difficult. He's maneuvering in a political landscape in which the public generally is supportive of health care Senate this summer as he sought but there's an excellent chance he will get bills through all but one of the five House and Senate committees with jurisdiction. before Congress leaves on its August break. That would be an enormous step that eluded plenty of presidents. including Bill Clinton. That said. several polls show that Obama 's personal popularit). though still high. has slipped and public confidence in him on issues has fallen since Janual').

Ohio governor faces rare clemency r~commendation BY THOMAS SHEERAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CLEVELAND - Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is in an unusual position: Should he listen to advisers who suggest he spare the life of a death row inmate or to family and friends of a 68-year old Hubbard woman killed in a murder-for-hire plot gone awry? In a rare move, the Ohio Parole Board recommended the governor grant clemency to Jason Getsy, 33, who is scheduled to die Aug. 18 for the 1995 slaying of Ann Serafino. Serafino's family and friends have sent the governor a petition asking him to reject the recommendation. Shortly after taking office in 2007. Democrat Strickland said he was uncomfortable with the death penalt). "I hope never to be comfortable with it," he said. "But it is the law and I have assumed this responsibility as governor.'' Earlier this year, the parole board recommended clemency for Jeffrey Hill, convicted of killing his mother in a cocame-induced rage. His family opposed the execution and Strickland agreed. commuting Hill's sentence to life in prison with parole possible after 25 years. The governor is faced with the decision as Ohio picks up the pace of executions. The state has .put 31 men to death since it reinstated the death penalty in 1999. Currently. the state has one execution a month scheduled through Februaf). Amanda Wurst. the governor's spokeswoman. said Strickland will consider all letters, petitions and telephone messages received from botH sides. She said the governor gtves serious consideration to every clemency request. In its recommendation, the parole board singled out the sentence given co-defendant John Santine. Santine, 48, was convicted of orchestrating the murderous plot that was intended for Serafino's son Charles. But while Santine seemed just as guilty as Getsy, the board said, he was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison. Kristin Houle. executive director of the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, said emotions surrounding murder and the death penalty are painful but decisions should be made with detachment. "It's really up to the governor to be able to separate those things out and look at what makes sense. what's proportional," she said. · Still, she said, she understands that those who favor the death penalty have a right to press Strickland for Getsy's execution. As in Ohio, a clemency recommendation is a rarity in Texas. Those writing to Strickland for Getsy's execution included the victim's only daughter, Nancy Serafino. She pleaded for Strickland to deny clemency. "I beg you for ttue justice for my mother, Ann Serafino," the younger woman wrote. "She was a wonderful person, the best mother in the world and loved by all. My heart aches daily." Jerry Heck, a juror who helped convict Getsy, also petitioned the governor. "Everybody else (involved in the crime) had•a different circumstance" and should be handled differently by the system. he said. Heck. a 54-year-old mechanic. said the petition amounts to grass-roots lobbying to block a bad government decision. "We disagree with what somebody has said in the political process," he said. "Somewhere along the line you need to voice your opinion against it." Cathleen Burnett, associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. said that the Getsy recommendation was ''gutsy" and that while the governor may feel pressure from both sides, he should exert leadership. • FREE SHIPPING TEST US FOR 30 DAYS.

He'll be happier if he and his Central Michigan teammates finish the season as tbe conference's best team. The Chippewas are the preseason favorites to win the MAC's West division for a fourth straight year and were the overwhelming choice to win the conference title game in a poll of medJa covering the con" ference. Fourth-year coach Butch Jones welcomes back 18 starters this fall and bas the makings of an explosive offense bur was quick to add Friday that his team must get better defensively after ranking last in the conference a season ago. "We've been in the lower half of the conference defensively for the last nine years," said Jones, whose team went 8-5 (6-2) last season and lost its last three games. ''We've got to be more consistent there. "Everyone is embarrassed by the way last season ended. Since then we've just focused on improving every way we can." It will help having LeFevour back for his senior season. He ranks 14th in NCAA history in total offensive ( 1 J ,702) and 'is within reach of sev- era! records in a conference that has turned out the likes of Byron Leftwich, Ben Roethlisberger and Chad Pennington. LeFevour begins the season 2,437 passing yards short of Leftwich's MAC record and 27 touchdown passes shy of Pennington's career mark. He needs just 383 yards of total offense to ~urpass Leftwich. "I honestly didn't know about the numbers until someone showed me,'' he said. "If I get there, it'll be because we're winning. That's all that matters, especially now that I'm a senior." Senior wideout Bryan Anderson and junior Antonio Brown likely will be LeFevour's favorite targets. Anderson is 8 I receptions short of the conference record. Central Michigan was picked to finish ahead of Western ¥ichigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo, Ball State and Eastern Michigan in the West while Buffalo, winner of last season's MAC title game, was the pick to win the East. The Bulls went 5-3 in conference play last season but were sharp in the title game, where they ended BaiJ State's bid for an unbeaten season. Safety Mike Newton said Buffalo, which welcomes back nine defensive starters, expects more of itself on the heels of its f1rst bowl appearance. "We're hungry." he said. "We've got fans in Buffalo behind us now and we want to win." Temple, Akron, Ohio, Bowling Green, Kent State and Miami finished behind the Bulls in the preseason poll.

BBA meeting I I Eastern volleyball camp MYL Fall Ball sign-ups Red Sox get All-Star Victor Martinez from Indians CLEVELAND (AP) The Boston Red Sox ~ot the big bat they were looktng for, acquiring All-Star slugger Victor Martinez from the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Indians rccei\cd rightbander Justin ~tasterson and minor league pitchers Nick Bagadone and Bryan Price. The trade came shortly before the 4 p.m. EDT deadline to complete deals without waivers. The 30-year-old Martinez has split his time at catcher and first base this season. The switch-hitter is batting .284 with 15 home runs and 67 RBis. , Boston is second in the AL past behind the New York Yankees, but leads the wild~ard race. Martinez leaves Cleveland a day before the Indians were to hold Victor :Martinez Bobblehead Night at Progressive Field in· their game against Detroit. Martinez's deal was the second major trade in three days for the disappointing Indians. who sent Cy Young winner Cliff Lee to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday for four prospects. Cleveland. which began the weekend 12 games out of first in the AL Central. ha.c; ~lashed nearly $25 million in payroll by trading Lee, Martinez, third baseman Mark DeRosa, reliever Rafael Betancourt and first baseman Ryan Garko. Martinez will likely share ·catching duties in Boston with Jason Varitek and can fill in at first base and designated hitter. The Red Sox did not give up Clay Buchholz, one of thetr top pitching prospects. for Martmez. But they did part with three quality arms in order to bolster their lineup. The versatile Masterson was Boston's !">econd-round pick in 2006. He went 3-3 with a 4.50 ERA in 31 appearances, including six starts for the Red Sox this se.tson. The 6-foot-6 righty was a key part of the Red Sox's nm to the playoffs a year ago, going 6-5 with a 3.16 ERA in 36 games after being called up from the minors. The 23-year-old Hagadone. a 6-foot-5 lefty, has pitched sparingly since being drafted No. 55 overall b; the Red Sox in 2007. He tmssed much of the 2008 season after having Tommy John surgery and has worked only 25 innings this year, going 0-2 with a 2.52 ERA at Class A Greenville. Price was drafted 45th overall in 2008. The 22-yearold righty has struggled in his first two years of pro ball, going ju:-.t 5-11 record with a 4.42 ERA in 31 outings.

Schmidt sees the autograph craze go out of whack as the sports memorabilia industry comes to life. _Schmidt: Autograph craze is out of whack EDITOR'S NOTE - Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt was a three-tirne NL MVP and was MVP of the 1980 World Series for the Philadelphia Plzillies. BY MIKE SCHMIDT FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was 1970, at the College World Series. where I signed my first autograph. I'll never forget it: Our Ohio University team had just beaten No. !-ranked USC in game one. and I was asked to sign a ball on the way to our bus. What a high. Not the victory, but the elevation to celebrity status. Of course, that was back when an auto·graph was just that - a signature of a person obtained in remembrance of a moment, a place, an exchange that could be cherished for some personal reason. No commercial value was tied to it. No sneaking around security, no stalking, and no fake story or act was jnvolved. . In the early 1960s, my grandparents shared .space on a flight to Dayton, Ohio. with Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. My :grandmom brought me, then ·'in my early teens. all three $ignatures on business cards. I still have them in a frame. One sf)ys "Best Wishes Mike,'' the other "Mike, .Best of Luck" and the other ~·Mike, Best Wishes Always," followed by their names. That's where I got my often-used autograph salutations. : Coincidentally. several "months back I did an appearance with Jack Nicklaus and showed him the 45-year-old signatures. He not only agreed they were authentic, .but was enamored at the ;very fact that I had them. He -said they must have been "obtained on a plane when 'they were headed to play Firestone in Akron. I won't go into the value he put on them in today's market. The ,point is , I was an excited kid, the one getting the auto:graph. · Then at some point back in the late 1970s to early '80s, the sports memorabilia ;industry came to life and the ·autograph, as we once knew ,it, was history. Unfortunate. ·yes. No longer would young 'Mikes have a chance to appreciate three business cards signed by three ~Pocono famous golfers in the same way ever again. Fortunate, yes. Old Mike has made a couple million he never counted on. Companies like Upper Deck sprang up and paid celebrity athletes megabucks for exclusive rights to signatures on products. Dreams Inc. specializes in creating unique sportsand Hollywood-related items designed specifically for signatures of famous people to be mass marketed. There are scads more. None of the product has value without the authentic celebrity signature. I ask, isn't the provider of the value, the signature, entitled to a piece of the profit? I just returned from Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. It happens every July in the quaint little town in upstate New York. What once was a gathering of baseball fans for a once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing the Hall museum and the enshrinement festivities is still that for some. But for many, it is memorabilia heaven, a chance for vendors to stock up on product, for collectors to expand their collections. And somewhere, lost in the crowd must be little Mike who just wants a m~mory. That is the sad part of it. Hall of Famers. including me, packed into a house, sitting behind tables selling autographs. Sad. That little guy who. along with his father, had a chance to meet and get an autograph remembrance of the moment spent with his hero. is gone. He'll most likely never again get that experience without paying for it. The autograph might be the most sought after commodity in today's society. Even tbe targets want them. Yogi Berra, Gaylord Perry, Bob Feller. me, even Sandy Koufax getting signatures from friends to auction for a charity back at home. When will it end? Never, as long as there are famous people and a demand for the John Hancock. I'll be perfectly honest, I hate playing the cat-andmouse game with collectors on the street. It was one of the reasons 1 retired early. Being targeted and stalked everywhere by people seeking a chicken-scratched slash on an inventory item is not fun. I'm not saying I'm a victim of paparazzi, but when airline luggage handlers wait for you in airports, your right to privacy is gone. When someone jumps out from behind a pillar in a parking lot as you're getting a rental car, you're being stalked. This isn't little Mike and his dad. These guys play games, they dress in costume, they hire little kids with sad faces and pretty girls in skimpy outfits, they make up stories, they lie, th~y even act polite, anything to get you to sign. I even had some young adversaries who I came to know by name because we would laugh about the games they play on the streets. It was a friendly contest of who could fool whom. I'd figure out ways to beat them at their own game, by wearing a disguise or taking a secret route to the park. Sure, there are some who say 'Tll never sell this" and maybe they are serious. But understand one thing - with my signature, sell it or not, that item increased in value from $10 to $100. Someday by someone it will be sold. No more throwing out the old baseball cards found in the attic like my Mom did. So here's my quandary: I feel sony for little Mike, he's been squashed in this mess, I can't tell which one he is in the crowd of collectors who all claim to be him. On the other hand, I like that my signature has value, and that I'm paid well just to sign my name. I can't decide whether to sign freely on the street and hope that little Mike is in the crowd, or refuse because most of them are collectors or working for dealers and sign only in a controlled environment, where both sides understand the industry parameters. Honestly, what has happened is ugly. Our society has become so callous, rude, and motivated by money that even something as American and simple as shaking hands and signing a baseball for a young person can seldom occur today. Who would have thought that back in Omaha in 1970 my excitement over autograph No. 1 would have led to this? A study shows a growing number of recreational athletes chose to play in pick-up games instead of organized leagues in 2008, a trend experts suggest is driven by people trying to save money and time in a slow economy. The number of pick-up basketball players increased by 13 percent since 2006, soccer by 14 percent, tackle football by 11 percent. Even pick-up baseball - not the easiest SJ?Ort to whip up a game quickly - saw a 17 percent increase with slowpitch softball at 9 percent. Mike May, director of communicatiOns for the Spo1ting Goods Manufacturers Association that conducted the survey. said the increased number of casual players ages 6 and up has a direct connection with the sluggish economy of the past two years. "I think people are being more creative with their time and their athletic pursuits," May said. ''They see they can still play the game but don't have to make financial or time commitment to be at a certain place at a certain time for two practices and a game every week." SGMA conducted an internet survey of between 30,000 and 40,000 households, May said, and found that while organized team sports and leagues are still popular - II of 18 sports mentioned in the survey had majorities playing organized ball - the number of pick-up players is increasing on almost a sportby-sport basis. "If it were a shift in a single given sport, or a shift in three sports, you"d be much more susceptible to saywg this wasn't a trend:· said Rich Luker, author of the book 'Simple Community.' "But when you see it across the board like this. the logical and analytical conclusion is that you've got a trend and ~h~ economy is a big part of lt. Luker said work demands in an increasingly difficult job market are making it more difficult for adults to block out time for their leagues. and also shrinking the amount of time they have to shuttle their children back and forth to spmts and activities. "This is where we got the soccer moms," he said. "It came during a time of increasing affluence, when had greater everyone resources to spend on a wider variety of things. There was more specialization. more willingness to pay to have kids on teams and for coaching." Not as much anymore, as Americans look for basketball courts where they can play for free or hockey rinks where they pay as they go to play inst~ad of joining a team. Luker believes this slow move back toward more casual, community sports began after the Sept. II terrorist attacks. The economy served up reason for many to their priorities . "A Jot of people are stepping back from what they might call unnecessarily committed time." he said. "They're opening up more free time and they're discovering. you don't have to push that hard. and kids aren't jumping off the ledge , because they're not going to three different SJ?Orting events and seven different classes.'' The SGMA study, called "Sports Participation in America," also reported that 171 million Americans said they participated in some fo1m of fitness or recreation on a "frequent" or "regular" basis. Another 44.5 million defined themselves as "casual'' participants, which is the segment the SGMA thinks could make a big difference in defining America's overall ~ health.

LONG POND, Pa. Pocono Raceway is adding -a green solar energy project to go with the green flag. j The track unveiled plans ~on Friday for a three·rnegawatt solar farm which ,will power all their energy fleedsand support the Joe~ energy grid. It's the largest ·renewable energy project in ~he world for a sports facil~ty. : •"We won't have an elec'tric bilL" Pocono Raceway . president Brandon Igdalsky said. The $17 million project :will see nearly 40.000 photovoltaic modules, or, solar panels. spread over approx- imately 25 acres of land formerly used as parking lots. The project is set to be completed by the spring of 2010. Igdalsky said the project will not only satisfy Pocono Raceway's energy needs, it can also power nearly l .000 homes and lower carbon dioxide emissions by 5.100 tons every year. Pocono officials started looking into the switch nearly three years ago because of soaring electric bills. Deregulation only threatened steeper increases over the years. Owner Joseph Mattioli said the track can farm out the remaining megawatts of energy off whatever is left after tht:y power the track. " It's a money-making thing, also," Mattioli. Mattioli and his grandson, Igdalsky, were among the participants of a rainy groundbreaking ceremony on Friday. lgdalsky said the track did apply for a $1 mi11ion state grant. Pocono will be the only sports facility in the world to generate clean renewable energy on site, offsetting its annual electricity consumption. The track, located within 90 miles of New York and Philadelphia, hosts two Cup races annually. Pocono Raceway is working with enXco and Evolution Energies to complete the project.

Jackson said Friday afler Minnesota's first training camp practice. Drafted in the second round in 2006 as a fast. strong but ra\\ prospect from Alabama State. Jackson has had plenty of growing pains over his first three seasons. The fact that the Vikings tried again to replace him wasn't as hard for him to handle as outsiders might believe. even though the chance of him being traded even released grew with 'h phone conversation ween Favre and coach Brad Childress. "He's got prett) ·good calluses built up." Childress said. ''You get that way as a quarterback. It's high highs and lo\\ lows. and usually the highs aren't as high as the lows are low.

"It was nothing I could control. It was kind of out of my hands. I just have to do my part." Jackson played with the first team while the Vikings worked out in helmets. shoulder pads and shorts Friday morning at the Minnesota State Uni' ersity camptts in .Mankato. There were several off-the-mark throws throughout the session by all of the quarterbacks. but it was the first practice after all Conclusions. assertions or assumptions should rarely be drawn before August let alone SePtember. Jackson probably had the best pass of the morning during a one-onone drill, connecting \\oith wide receiver Sidney Rice for what likely would've been a 65-yard completion for a touchdown. "He just laid it right over the top. and I ran right into it." Rice said. For now. until or unless the Vikings start an early season winning streak and settle in at the top of the fl will be in the wake of Favre's decision to stay home. Every throw will be s<.:1 utinit.cd. and Minnesota's passing game will constantly be watched - probably moreso than in Childress's first three seasons. "I just take it as if I ha\e to prove myself anyway.'' Jackson said. Rosenfels has seemed less at ease with all the speculation surrounding the team's high-profile pursuit of the NPL's career leading passer and all the questions about his feelings that came with it. The Vikings confirmed their interest in Favre a little more than two months after the trude with the Texans for Roscnfels was consummated, an unsettling development for a native Iowan excited to compete for a starting job with the closest NFL team to where he grew up. After Friday's first practice. Roscnfels bristled a bit during another round of Favre-related 4ueries from reporters. "'f'he more ) ou guys stop asking questions.'' he said. worry about it."

The 34-ycar-old Australian earned a 94 on the third of his five runs with a backside. 360 over the mega ramp's gap into a 20-foot-high McTwtst over the half-pipe for his first X Games gold. .

Tomlin isn't slighting what the Steelers accomplished last season. but he apparently wants this team thinking about this season, and nothing else. That's one reason why the Stcelers' championship ring ceremony was held in June. rather than at training camp as some other Super Bowl winners have done. ''I'm not concerned about avoiding anything that happened three years ago, or worrying about letdowns." Tomlin said. ''When you use the term letdown. you're proceeding with the assumption that this is the continuation of something that happened in the past. We're not assuming anything - that's a dangerous thing to do. We're simply going to be blue collar and humble and start the process of building our team ." Ben Roethlisberger didn't talk to reponers, but that had nothing to do with the recently filed Nevada civil case that accuses him of sexual assault - the quarterback never talks on report- ing day. Whik the well-publicized Roethlisbcrgcr ca~e threatens to be a distraction if it drags on well into the season. even though he faces no criminal charges. neither Tomlin nor Rocthlisbergl'r's teammates expect it to affect his play. "I ha\e no question about Ben's mindset, or anybody else's mindset. That civil case is just that. it's ci\'il, and we'll assume he's ~oing to handle that business m his pcr~onal life." Tomlin said. ··we're going to proceed on professionally and the standard of expectation in regards to Ben is the standard of expectation. We're just going to focus on football." Backup quanerback Charlie Batch has talked with Roethlisbcrgcr since the lawsuit was filed. and he also doesn't foresee it disrupting the two-time Super Bowl winner or his team. In 2006, much of camp was spent wondering how Roethlisberger would bounce back from his serious motorcycle accident. "Everybod) is expecting him to come in here full ~peed ahead." Batch said. .

Ticks thrive during summer season BY BRENDA BRYAN, RN PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE GALLIA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT As we start to enjoy the outdoors during the summer months, you may discover an abundance of ticks this year. This is because ticks thrive in moist and humid environments. Most are seen in overgrown or wooded areas. When walking in an area prone to ticks, you should wear light colored clothing to allow for quick observation and removal, prior to attachment. Tuck pants into boots or socks so that ticks cannot climb up your pant legs. Use a spray containing DEET, permethrin. or picaridin. Also, do daily body checks using a hand or full length·mirror and check all areas of your body, including under arms, in and around ears, inside belly l;>ullun, back of the knees. around hair, legs and waist. Diseases that can be related to tick bites include: Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis. Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Tularmia. Symptoms of these diseases are flu-like, such as; rash. fever. chills, fatigue and joint pain. These symptoms may appear in one to two weeks after a tick bite and last for three to five weeks. If you have any of these symp- toms you should contact your physician immediately, as a delay in seeking medical attention could even lead to death. Remember not to panic, as all ticks are not infected and usually do not transmit disease until 48 hours following a bite. If removed promptly, you can lessen your risk of a disease. The proper way to remove an attached tick from the skin. ts to use a pair of pointed tweezers, grasp the part closest to the head· of the tick, and pull straight out, without twisting. After removal, remember to clean the bite area with a disinfectant and observe for any development of a rash or symptoms listed above and notify your physician if any signs of infection persist.

GallianS sweated out hOttest August Bv JAMES SANDS August of 1947 was perhaps the hottest and driest August on record in Gallia history. Temperatures were in the high 90s almost the entire month with some areas recording only a halfinch of rain for the first three weeks of August. Much of the corn crop in the Midwestern U.S. was ruined. Corn hit an all-time high in price on Aug. 23, 1947, of $2.47 a bushel. The nation's corn crop was off by 202 million bushels from the normal yield. It was esti· mated that the average )'ield per acre of corn in Ohio would be about 39 bushels. The day the heat wave was broken (Aug. 25), it was 108 in St. Louis, but a mere 96 in Gallia County that day. Several hundred people across the country died of heat prostration that month. It was reported that the price of lemons had doubled in just two weeks, so thirsty were hot Ohioans. In early August, it was 111 in Napoleon, Ohio, toppmg the reading of 107 the day before. Gallia was again milder at only 99. Several teenagers near Flag Springs were apprehended for stealing watetmelons. The oldest one was fined $tO. When she could not pay the fme, she was placed in jai I. One person who actually got cooled off in August of 1947 was Reds pitcher Ewell BlackwelL whose streak of 16 straight wins came to an end. He would go on to win 22 games that year. Blackwell had six shut-outs in 1947. Cincinnati as a team had 13 shut-outs and 54 complete games. In 2005, they had two with one shut-out. And the 1947 team was not particularly good, finishing 7381, good for fifth place. Bucky Walters had three shut-outs, with one of them coming on "Bucky Walters Night." Appreciation Walters got a Lincoln sedan, a deep freeze, a rod and reel, an air conditioner, a luggage set, portable grill, and two sets of golf clubs. Walters' career lasted 20 years, in which he won 198 games, most of those with the Reds. He was also probably the best hitting pitcher in Reds' history, with 24 lifetime home runs and a lifetime average of .243. Walter·s was best remembered by Reds • fans for his great pitching in the 1940 World Series which the Reds won four games to three over Detroit. It was noted that tomato truck farmers in Gallia had a double whammy. Due to spring freezes, tomatoes in Gallia had to be planted three times. Then the drought came. Fortunately, the prime growing season in Gallia for tomatoes was July. Some 770 acres along the Ohio River in southern Gallia County were planted with tomatoes. Clyde Saunders was one of the largest tomato farmers. It is interesting to note that his four favorite tomatoes in 1947 were "Break 0' Days," "Pritchards," "Marglobes" and "Rutgers." The most popular tomatoes for Saunders were the first two varieties, while the latter two are still grown to this day. These have been the favorites of this writ~r who has grown tomatoes on a very small scale for 40 years. By the way, a 10-pound basket of tomatoes sold at the wholesale auction in Cleveland where most Gallia tomatoes were taken in 1947 for anywhere from 35 cents to $1.25. History is always full of ironies, and one of those was a story in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune of a James Shamblin locating a sunken airplane belonging to a Charleston company that had crashed into the Ohio River in the summer of 1947. Seven years later, Shamblin himself' would crash a phine into a cornfield near the Ohio River. He and Mark Coyner died when their craft nosedived on the Kail farm just south of Cheshire.

While everyone is mg fun. here are a few things to be mindful of to help xou and your family stay healthy during the fair. • • Interactions with animals: <;ounty fairs offer us many opportunities to interact with or all sorts including chickens, rabbits, horses, p1gs. dogs, and more. Diseases can be transmitted from animals to humans and from humans to animals. It is important to take a few precautions to make interactions with animals safer for you and the animal. Do not come into close contact with animals if you are ill or have a fever. Interact with animals only with the permission of and under the supervision of the owner. Always wash hands after touching animals or the animal enclosure. Running water and soap are best, but if not available, sanitizing hand gels may be used. Keep food and d1inks out of the animal area and wash hands before eating or drinking. Never allow children to put their hands, pacifiers, or other objects in their mouth while interacting with animals. a~1mals Foods and beverages at the fair: , Fair food is delicious. but not always nutritious. Limit the fried or sugary foods, to the occasional treat during fair week. Fair foods that make better choices include those that are grilled or have fruits or vegetables as a main ingredient. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated during those hot. humid fair days. Caffeinated beverages can deplete our bodies of fluid rather than replenish fluids, so . _ ,it their intake as well. ~xercise and rest: It's surprising how much exercise and physical activity happens at the fair. Just walking through the exhibits or going from one event to another at the other side of the fair grounds can be strenous especially in the heat. For those youth and parents of youth who are exhibiting or competing, the fair can be even more strenuous with lots of long hours of preparation, caring for exhibits, supporting friends with their projects. and having fun. Fairgoers and participants alike should get as much rest as possible before, during, and after the fair. Regular rest and exercise help to keep us healthy. The Galli a County Health Department staff will be at the Gallia Count} Junior Fair Aug. 3-8 providing mbre information to help keep you and your family healthy. We look forward to seeing you there!

'Making lace in Ireland • and father's tears Looking through some of my old reviews. I found the dates ~,;~0!11ia~~1 go back to 2002. It is hard to believe I have been doing this for nearly seven years. There are times I think, "Who am I to Beverly be recommending books to Gettles other folks? Every reader has his own favorites, and I am certain some of mine don't appeal to everyone. It saddens me that our wonderful Bossard Library must lay off workers and cut their hours. The library is heavily used by people in this community. I see the workers when I visit my mother at Holzer Senior Care. I see the young parents bringing their · children to story-time. I see folks my age looking for something to inform and delight. The bookmobile brings the books to the people where they are. Let's hope things will improve for our state. Peggy Huber stopped me on my latest library visit and recommended The Lace Makers of Glenmara by Heather Barbieri. It is a light novel, a bit of romance, a welcome escape on a summer day. The main character, Kate Robinson, has recently lost her other. Her five-year romance has ended with her yfriend 's running off with a model. Her designing career s fallen flat. She decides to try a trip through Ireland, land of her ancestors. She is hiking along the western coast in County Galway when she meets an itinerant peddler and fixer-of-things who gives her a ride to the tiny town of Glenmara. There is a street fair in progress, and she meets a couple of local ladies who are makers of lace. Kate takes up an offer for a room in the home of Bertie, recently widowed. Other women who are part of the lacemaking guild are Moira, who has an abusive husband, f..ileen , Moira's older sister who is having problems with a sassy and rebellious teenage daughter, and there is Coleen, abreast-cancer survivor. . The romantic interest is supplied by Sullivan Deane, a handsome young man (is there any other kind in fiction?) recently returned from England who has his own tragedy to overcome. This book reminds me of those quitter books y..-ith women bonding around a common task. If you are looking for a light. pleasant read. this is for you. : There are times I wonder why 1 read so many books about people looking back over their lives. John Updike's final book of short stories, My Fathers Tears, does that. • Updike died in January of 2009. Several of his stories are centered at class reunions, which can be either traumatic or lovely experiences. Updike was from Shillington in east~rn Pennsylvania, and he has created an imaginary town which substitutes for it. : In "A Walk with Elizanne," he meets a former girlfriend, it brings back old memorie.s. "Eliza~ne, he wanted. to her, what does it mean. th1s enorm1ty of our h~vmg en children and now being old, Jiving next door to • oeath?" , ''Varieties of Religious Experience" tells of the fall of the World Trade Center from several points of view: of a man watching the carnage from a rooftop in Brooklyn while visiting his daughter, from one of the terrorists waiting in Florida for the big day to come, of a man trapped above the impact of the plane in the North Tower talking with his wife as h<.: prepares to jump to his death' of an older woman on the plane which crashed that day in Pennsylvania after the tnen on board rushed the hijackers.

Plowing, that is. until three days before the big day tickets purchased in advance. "He comes into the kitchen all upset and started packing away all his Harry Potter books for tlie giveaway pile. He was 25 pages from the end and had become so upset by 'the violence and scary stuff' that he wouldn't finish it," Christensen said. "He told his dad to give away his ticket. I'm generally more vigilant about this stuff. but the 'Everybody's doing it, it must be OK' encroached. even though I really questioned the content for young kids."

A voracious reader and coliector, Davies crowded more than 10,000 volumes into his Wooster home before he died in 2005 at the age of 78. "In his study, the only way you could get to his desk was to follow the path ~hat he had created between the stacks of books," his son, Richard Davies, said. After Sidney Davies' death, the son put the books packed into 1,100 boxes into three storage units and thought about selling them. . An out-of-state bookstore expressed interest but decided the cost of shipping was prohibitive. Finally, Richard Davies decided to give most of the books away. He chose the library in Wadsworth - the 'ty in which he an'd his wife, llie, previously lived for 11 ars - as the recipient. "Of all the libraries we've been to, that seems to be the friendliest, most comfortable to read in," said Richard Davies, a lawyer who now lives in Green. The Davies' gift is the largest single donation of items the Friends of the Library nonprofit group hM received. The books are now journeying to new homes. The Friends of the Library is selling them many at $1 apiece - to the public at the Wadsworth l'ublic Libr:ary to raise p10ney for library projects. · The sale comes at an opportune time for the library, :Which is facing budget cuts. Most of the books were P.ublished in recent decades. :Anything the collection lacks )n vintage texts, however, it ·makes up for with diversity. ight on fiction, the coition - primarily hardcks - includes a wealth • of reference books on every· thing from birds to French landscapes to the Bible, as well as texts on science, philosophy and history. "It's overwhelming.'' Friends of the Lib~ member Gloria Sheller said this week as she and other group members SOrted through boxes crowding a library storage room. "Here's an encyclopedia of mammals .... Here's 'Birds of the World,"' Sheller said. "We have ·a lot of foreign-language books ... we have so many medical books ... biographies, lots of biographies." Volunteer Carol Carvano. poked her head out from behind a box and said, "Each box is a surprise." . Richard Davies said his father "would often read 10 or 15 books at a time, depending on what room he was in ... I just he enjoyed expanding his zons and knowledge of y different subjects." He's at a loss to explain why his father never sought to rein in the collection. "I think he just enjoyed having the books around." Davies said. Hi s mother, Audrey Davis , didn ~t object. She had her own hobby: playing piano, Richard Davies said. Besides, the son said, "the books were sorted and categorized. He kept them pretty organized." Sidney Davies, a pathologist, moved with Audrey from Wales to the United States in 1958. His book buying - at second-hand book stores, through book clubs and at library sales - grew more intense after his retirement in 1991. That was around the time he and Audrey moved from Mentor to Wooster. ln retirement, he audited 1sses at the College of • ooster, including history -and ancient Greek. He also gardened, but that hobby, Richard Davies said, "was a distant second to reading." Sidney Davies never got around to opening tfle plastic wrapping on some of the books. "I think he planned on getting to them," Richard Davies said. "Someday." ~d~ey Davies had a E Sunday, August 2, 2009 rn to DIY camp· Bv LOUISE CRAWFORD FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A lma Schneider's 8year-old daughter loves fashion. Her neighbor owns a wedding couture business. It was a match made in DIY heaven and an answer to a problem faced by other cashstrapped families trying to make it through summer without pricey kid classes and camps. • "It costs too much money to send all my kids to camp. It's just not possible," said the Montclair, N.J., mother of four. . Charging $150 per child, Christine Sapienza led a week of ''fashion camp'' for Schneider's oldest, Ilah, and five pals. She showed the girls how to make fancy Tshirts, wrap skirts and button bracelets while Schneider entertained her three other kids. The group put on a fashion show for parents the last day, and Sapienza surprised each girl with an inexpensive portable sewing machine. ''The kids had such a great time we're doing another week of it in August," said Schneider, a food blogger who plans to charge $60 per family for her own healthy cooking camp next month. "I'm a community minded person," she said. "If we all shared our skills and talents we wouldn't have to outsource everything. It's a great model to Jearn from each other's expertise." Other parents facing hard financial times are joining the DIY camp movement as they try to survive the muggy months. Stephanie Reyes in Brook!yn, N.Y., charges $60 a day per family for a playground romp, an art or science activity and a theater performance put on by her campers. She throws in a snack and a nap back at her place for eight to 12 kids, mcluding her 6-year-old son Milo . "They even get to design the props and costumes," she said. Elizabeth Laura Palmer and her cartoonist husband, Tom Palmer, haven't taken AP photo This photo taken July 10 shows 10-year-old Ada Graham Lowengard,left and her mom Nancy Graham, tending the family's berry plarts at their home Kingston, NY home. Due to the economy, many families are foregoing sending their kids to camp and instead they are doing "camps" at home. on the children of others. but they took on a camp mentality for their two girls due to tight finances that precluded far more expensive programs. They created a schedule: Up at 8 a.m., breakfast and out the door for one major outing each day. Without a plan, Palmer said, she had been afraid Molly, 7, and Violet, 4, wouldn't make it out of the house this summer. "The kids would be content to stay at home, read, play Barbies anc imaginary games,'' she said. "But by 3 or 4 they'd get restless and start fighting.'' Palmer filled up one recent sunny day with a museum field trip using a classic book, "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.'' It tells how two kids run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At .II a.m., Palmer and the girls made it to the subway for a trip to find some of the book's art at the Met. Molly amused herself on the train reading the chapter book. Viotet squirmed in her mother's lap as Palmer recalled her own summers shuttling between her divorced parents in Colorado and Ohio with plenty of free time outdoors to melt crayons in the sun and catch bugs. "It was good boredom," she said. "And that forces you to use your imagination. Kids don't have that anymore. There are too many things to do." At 12:30, they got off the train and stopped for doughnuts. By 1:30, they were in the Egyptian wing and found a cat mummy mentioned in the book, prompting much excitement and many questions from the girls. Afterward, they searched for a certain blue silk chair, followed by a run up and down the steps of the Temple of Dendur. Palmer was exhausted by 3 p.m., but her kids were happy. 'After a day like this of the kids clinging to me and having to respond to their every need, I need a glass of wine," she joked. In Kingston, N.Y., a dwindling savings account forced Nancy Graham and her husband, Henry Lowengard, to rethink their summer. They're selling their home - a "big-hearted Victorian:' Graham said. Lowengard, a computer programmer, has been laid off twice in the seven years since they bought it and they've been preparing to put it on the market by painting and renovating. "What it comes down to is whether we can live here on the freelance income we're making right now:" said Graham, a copy editor. As a result, 12-year-old Raymond and I 0-year-old Ada are doing without music lessons and art classes this summer, learning the pragmatic realities of real estate and home repair instead. But the two, who are homeschooled, seem to enjoy the chance to help their parents during a major life transition. Ada recently mulched and weeded the garden while her brother painted the yellow house's large front porch, including~ an oldfashioned swing. "Our kids are OK with not signing up for anything,'.' Graham said. "Ada is still doing harp and horseback riding. and she does them on alternating weeks so we save money there. We go to programs at the library. which are free." While times .are stressful for the family as they prepare to move. the kids ''know they have it better than most Americans. that there are children without health insurance or who have to skip meals or eai unhealthy food because it's cheaper than the way we eat," Graham said. "We have to stress that this is a preventive measure and that on the grand scale of things, we're extremely fortunate." Making of memoir: Jackson, Jackie and 'Moonwalk' BY HILLEL ITALIE AP NATIONAL WRITER NEW YORK - On the morning after Michael Jackson died, literary agent Joy Harris began getting the e-mails: When, publishers wanted to know, would Jackson's memoir "Moonwalk" be returned to print? "It did seem abrupt to me," Harris said. "But when I thought about it, it didn't surprise me, in the way that everything is so immediate these days." Within days, Harris had forwarded the e-mails to Jackson's attorneys and soon the real discussions began. "Moonwalk," originally acquired by thenDoubleday editor Jackie Kennedy and published in 1988, will be reissued in October by Random House Inc. with a first printing of 100,000 copies and a new introduction from a Jackson friend who has not been identified. Jackson's representatives want~d to act quickly. On· July 23, executors of the singer's estate filed papers in a Los Angeles court stating that book deals should be reached ''as soon as possible" in order to capitalize on "the notoriety surrounding Michael Jackson's unexpected death" and ensure that "profits for the Estate will be maximized." According to Harris, several U.S. publishers were interested in the memoir but - assuming the price was right - both Harris and the lawyers who had handled Jackson's book wanted to stay with his original editor, Shaye Areheart. Her Harmony imprint at Random House will handle the release. (Kennedy died of cancer in 1994.) "She was professional In this March 17, 2005 file photo, Pop star Michael Jackson arrives at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse in Santa Maria, Calif., to begin Jackson's trial on charges of child molestation. AP photo with Michael and she was respectful," Harris, who declined to· offer financial details for the new edition. said of Areheart. "She had worked for Jackie a long time and she was comfortable around celebrity." The book is also coming out in Germany. France and the United Kingdom. "Moonwalk''~ was a classic celebrity project. It was not written or even conceived by Jackson. The contents · were kept secret right up to the moment of release; around the printing plant the book had the code name "Neil Armstrong." It topped The New York Times hardcover nonfiction list, but within a few years was forgotten and out of print. The idea began in the mid-1980s. when "Thriller" wal> at the top of the charts and the singer at the height of his career. Jackie Kennedy, a celebrity at least as famous and even more secretive as Jackson. admired him, was fascinat- ed by him and wanted him to tell his story. Kennedy and fellow editor Areheart met with Jackson at his home in Encino, Calif. Areheart remembered Jackson as ''smart and funny and gracious," without any symptoms of the tabloid target he would become over the following two decades. ··He was just a lively. intouch guy," she said. ''And he did have his act together." Other publishers were interested but Jackson was equally in awe of Kennedy and wanted to publish with her. "They got along very \Veil," Areheart said. ''She thought he was so sweet.'' Much of the field work was done by Areheart. Over the next few years, she would tly out to California and meet with Jackson at his Encino home. often in a large study that had a fireplace. and ask questions that he would answer by speak- ing into a tape recorder. The manuscript was assembled, with Jackson's input, by music writer Stephen Davis, whose other books include biographies of Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. The projeet took longer than Areheat1 had anticipated, not because Jackson was uncooperative, but because he was busy - touring, recording and otherwise being Michael Jackson. "His time was constantly not his own,'' she said. "Moonwalk'' was released in the spring o{ I 988. Reviewing the book in 'The New York Times, music critic Ken Tucker called "Moonwalk'' eccentric, contradictory and helplessly revealing. Jackson. he wrote, was ··a master of deadpan banality," slipping out "significant information between the ltnes of psychobabble.'' Along with common statements about fame (''It hurts to be mobbed") and the media ("What happened to truth? Did it go out of style?"), Jackson confided to being physically ·beaten by ·his father. to having twice had his nose changed by plastic surgery and to wearing just one glove because "two gloves seemed so ordinary." The book \vas dedicated to Fred Astaire and included a brief note from Kennedy. who asked. "What can one sav about Michael Jackson?" · Doubleday printed 300.000 copies for release and eventually sold around 500.000. according to the current publisher. Harmony. T~e promotional budget was $150,000. a lot of money for 1988, although not quite in range for the man who perfected the long-form music \ideo. Jacqueline Deval. then the book's publicist and now publisher of Hearst Books, said she had jllst one conversation with Jackson. She could not persuade him to give interviews. but he was very eager to discuss a possible promotional spot. "He had this fabulous idea for a TV commercial for the book:' she said. There would be music playing and a camera would show his feet, his steps moving to the beat. And then a m!}jor celebrity friend. such as Elizabeth Taylor, would sa) something about tvlichael Jackson. Then the camera would pan up to his knees. and there would be another celebrit) talking about him. And so on, until we finally see his face.

PhannaQ �~iunbap ~ime~ -ientinel A life in comedy leads Apatow to 'Funny People' Sunday, August 2, 2009 + Bv JAKE COYLE AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER NEW YORK - Judd Apatow's "The 40-Yea.r-Old Virgin'' spawned one of the most vibrant and successful runs in American comedy - a frantic, four-year era capped by and summed up in the writer/director/producer's latest film, "Funny People.'' After the success of "Virgin," Apatow and his come" dy cohorts were essentially given the keys to studio lots. , Finding themselves green-lit at every tum. the veteran 1 comic and his close-knit group of friends dusted off their previously snubbed screenplays and took ·advantage of their opportunity with a nonstop flow of films. In just four years, Apatow has either produced or helped write ten movies, among them "Superbad," "Pineapple Express," ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "You Don't Mess With the Zohan.'' He wrote and directed his "Virgin'' follow-up, "Knocked Up." He helped make stars out of Seth Rogcn, Jonah Hill and Paul Rudd . Now. like a politician spending accrued political capital, Apatow has used his leverage to make "Funny People,'' a plainly ambitious 2-1/2 hour film that has Hollywood wondering if he's overestimated his Midas touch. "People always say that when they become successful that they'll make their passion project," Apatow said in a recent interview. ''But they never do." For "Funny People," Apatow says he fused two ideas: a story about how surviving a near-death experience changes someone. and an abstract analysis of the nature of a comedian. Adam Sandler plays George Simmons, a famous standup comedian who finds out he has a form of cancer. Seth Rogen plays Ira Wright, a young stand up taken in by Simmons. More than anything, "Funny People" is overflowing with a love for comedy and all the wealth of experiences of a comedian, from nervously starting out to playing to a roaring packed house. It revels in the backstage banter between standups, the subtlety of good joke-telling, the competitive scrap for fame. The entire film is imbued with Apatow's life - he has called it "a culmination of my journey in comedy." Apatow's wife, Leslie Mann, co-stars as the-girl-thatgot-away (from Simmons). Their two young girls. 11year-old Maude and 6-year-old Iris, play Mann's character's children. "It's fun to see him grow as a creative person and put those life experiences into his movies," says Mann. "He's not sticking to the formula of '40-Year-Oid Virgin.' He's trying new things and experimenting." The film opens with a home video of a prank call Apatow. 41, shot in the early '90s when he was roommates in Los Angeles with Sandler and both were aspir1: ing comics. ("I was directing Adam badly even then," jokes Apatow.) Many of the comedians who inspired or worked with Apatow through his career make cameos. One is Paul Reiser ("Mad About You'') whom Apatow interviewed when he was 15 for his Long Island high school radio show, which he used to gain access to comedians like Gary Shandling and Jerry Seinfeld to learn about the art of comedy. "In everything - in the songs that I chose, in the comedians that populate it - I just wanted everything to be personal and intimate," says Apatow. Some have questioned the appeal of a longer and more serious film from Apatow. Los Angeles Times columnist Patrick Goldstein published an open letter to Apatow pleading with him to shorten it. Apatow says he pitched Universal Studios (which has released all three of Apatow's directed films) exactly the movie he made. length included. Criticism has recently been nipping at the intercon~ nected Hollywood comedy juggernaut. which Will !•Ferrell and Adam McKay have also spearheaded. Ferrell's last film, "Land of the Lost," did poorly at the box office, fueling conjecture that an era was dimming. Apatow estimates that it would take three failures in a row to lose industry support. It's a subjecr he knows something about from his experiences with the acclaimed but canceled series "Freaks and Geeks," as well as the series "Undeclared" and the 1996 film "The Cable Guy.'' The blizzard of success came only in the last few years for Apatow. "It's been a bit of a whirlwind." says Apatow. "There were definitely moments where it seemed super crazy where we'd be shooting three movies at the same time and I'd just drive between sets all day long.'' That pace, though. is slowing. Apatow is producing the "Sarah Marshall'' spinoff "Get Him the Greek." which is currently filming and stars Hill and Russel1 Brand. There are other projects in the pipeline, to9, including a comedy written by and starring Kristin Wilg of "Saturday Night Live." "It's dropped from like six to eight movies in a year to otte - so 1 feel very good that I've gotten e\erything under control," says Apatow. "For people who worry about being sick of me: don't worry, I'm about to drift away." · He adds: ''It's been many years of output. At some point, you have to sit and actually read all the books that you buy." Mann has seen some change in her husband. Of his circle of friends and perfom1ers, she says the conversation has turned from bongs to duvet covers: • "Everybody's kind of growing up together." Apatow has also been a mentor to a crop of young · actors and comedians. As Simmons hires Wright in the film, Apatow was hired as a young comic by Roseanne Barr to write jokes for her act - a phone call . that Apatow says will remain the happiest of his career. "The main thing 1 think about is: Why did Judd choose me?" says HilL who plays Rogen's roommate in "Funny People.'' ''1 always wonder after every movie wraps. do 1 say something overly sensitive to him about it?'' Ultimately, "Funny People" asks if it's possible to be both a comedian and a healthy person - whether the old stereotype of the angry, insecure comic is true. As much as anyone, Apatow has sought to disabuse people of that notion by making comedies about earnes!, l~v­ ing (if immature) guys. lncreasmgly. a sense of tamtly is at the heart of his movies. In analyzing his life in comedy. Apatow came away with one realization. ''My biggest problem is that as I get older 1 realiLe I'm more neurotic than I hoped to be at this age,'' says Apatow. "For whatever reason, I'm wired to be thinking about the past and worrying about what's going to happen. When you have a family and kids, you worry all the time." In this film publicit. image released by Universal Pictures, Seth Rogen, left, and Aubrey Plaza are shown in a scene from, "Funny People." AP photo/Universal Pictures Review: 'People' is both funny, frustrating BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC LOS ANGELES - If only Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen hadn't gotten in the car. If only they hadn't left Los Angeles, where everything in ·'Funny People" was going so well, and driven north to Marin County. where t everything falls apart. Judd Apatow would have had his most mature, accomplished film to date. Instead, the last hour or so meanders interminably. its tone wavering all over the place, leading to a quickie conclusion that feels pat. And that is such a letdown when you consider the strength and ambition of the material that preceded it. "Funny People" provides the eternally adolescent Sandler with yet another opportunity to show his serious side, following substantive turns in films like "Punch-Drunk Love" and "Spanglish." But it also allows Apatow, as writer . and director. to display some previously unexplored darker instincts. with a story that mixes his typically raunchy guy talk with deeper discussions about mortality. Both men rise to the challenge. (Shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, Steven Spielberg's longtime collaborator. "Funny People" also looks a lot more polished than the first two films Apatow directed, "The 40and Year-Oid Virgin" "Knocked Up." You could think of it as "Sandler's List.'')

Gallipolis FFA takes part in grassland Contest GALLIPOLIS - Six members of the Gallipolis FFA recently participated in the Mid-America Grassland Evaluation Contest in Springfield, Mo. They were accompanied by six other FFA chapters from Symmes Valley, Vinton County, Warren, Waterford. Federal Hocking and Racine Southern. The Grassland Contest is design to evaluate student's knowledge of intensive grazing management practices. The contest is divided into four parts: grassland condition, soils. wildlife and plant identification. The grassland condition is where students must determine the dominant forage type of a 50-by-50 square foot sward of pasture. From that determination. they must determine fertilizer and lime recommendations and given a herd scenario determine if forage production will meet the nutritional needs of the herd of cattle for the year. If the nutritional needs are not met, they must implement grazing practices that would allow the herd to meet forage demand. The soils p01tion is where students must determine their location in the field using a soil survey map and determine the soil type. Using the soil type data. students determine plant adaptability and available water capacity ~or the soil. Wildlife portion students use the position in the field to determine if the location is conducive to support upland wildlife. Plant Identification is where students must identify from a list of over 80 plant species along with its life cycle. Gallipolis FFA members who participated were Lindsay Brown. Kayla Harrison, Andrea Withee. Levi Pullins, Megan Cremeans and Jordyn Benson. This was their first year to participate and placed 13th out of 24 teams, with teams from Missouri, West Virginia and Arkansas. The team was sponsored by the Gallia County Agricultural CeRter, Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District and Farm Credit Services. KN EEN Has your farm had problems with trespassing allpurpose vehicles (APV) surh as all terrain vehicles (ATV). mini-bikes and trail bikes? Many local farmers have had damage to field crops and horticultural crops by trespassing vehicles. New operational laws were passed by Ohio's legislature on July I. 2009, under the transportation bill, House Bill 2. Peggy Hall. the director of Ohio State University Extension's Agricultural and Resource Law Program, states that "the law contains new provisions on criminal trespass and APV registration and license plate requirements." Hall will be giving presentations at the at OSU Extension's Fall Science Review on Sept. 22 at 2:40 p.m. and Sept. 23 at 11 a.m. Hall's summary of the new law in regards to criminal trespass with APV's are: "Currently, criminal trespass onto another's land without permission or privilege is a degree misdefourth meanor punishable by a fine of up to $250 and jail time of up to 30 days. ··under the new law, when a person commits criminal trespass using a APV, a court must double the fine. If a person is convicted three times of criminal trespass using a APV, the court may also impound the registration and license plate of the vehicle for at least 60 days. . Registration fees - The new law increases the registration fees for APVs, snowmobiles and off highway motorcycles from $5 to $31.25 for the three-year registration period. The registrar may retain up to $5 of the fee and must deposit the remainder into the state tr~asury for the state recreational vehicle fund, which also receives amounts from fines issued under the law. Purposes of the fund include enforcing and administering laws regarding registration and operation of snowmobiles, offhighway motorcycles and APVs; purchasing additionalland to provide trails and other areas for such vehicles on state-controlled land and waters; and providing safety programs. than $I 00."
