The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TOI)AY IN HISTOitY ) Today is Sunday, Nov. 15, the 319th day of 2009. There are 46 days left in the year. I Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 15, 1959, Kansas farmer Herbert Clutter. his wife, Bonnie, and the couple's two youngest children, Nancy, 16, and Kenyon, 15, were found murdered in their home in Holcomb. (Two ex~convicts, Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, were later convicted of the killings and hanged; the case was detailed in the Truman Capote book "In Cold Blood.") On this date: In 1777 the Second Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation, a precursor to the Constitution of the United States. In 1806, explorer Zebulon Pike sighted the mountaintop now known as "Pikes Peak" in present-day Colorado. In 1889, Brazil was proclaimed a republic as its emperor, Dam Pedro II, was overthrown. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1948,'William Lyon Mackenzie King retired as prime minrster of Canada after 21 years; he was succeeded by Louis St. Laurent. In 1966, the flight of Gemini 12 ended successfully as astronauts James A. Lovell and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. splashed down safely in the Atlantic. In 1969, a quarter of a million protesters staged a peaceful demonstration in Washington against the Vietnam War. In 1979, the British government publicly identified Sir Anthony Blunt as the "fourth man" of a Soviet spy ring. In 1984, Stephanie Fae Beauclair, the infant publicly known as "Baby Fae" who had received a baboon's heart to replace her own congenitally deformed one, died at Lama Linda University Medical Center m California three weeks after the transplant. In 19S8. the Soviet Un1on launched 1ts first space shuttle, Buran on 1ts only fhght, which carried no crew. Ten years ago: The Clinton administration claimed victory m a seven-year struggle to persuade Congress to pay nearly $1 billion in back dues to the United Nations. Chinese and U.S. negotiators agreed to remove trade barriers, clearing the biggest hurdle to China's entry into the World Trade Organization. Five years ago: The White House announced that Secretary of State Colin Powell was leaving President George W. Bush's Cabinet, along with Education Secretary Rod Paige, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman ~nd Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham. The U.N. Security Council imposed an arms embargo on Ivory Coast's hard-line government after its violent confrontation with France. One year ago: World leaders battling an economic crisis agreed in Washington to flag risky investing and regulatory weak spots in hopes of avoiding future financial meltdowns. A wildfire destroyed nearly 500 mobile homes in Los Angeles.

Jewish scholar. ffi need town hall meetings BY lee H. HAMILTON DIRECTOR CENTER ON CONGRESS , Years ago, when I was still in Congre. s, I pulled up one day to address a public meeting in a remote aod very rural part of Indiana. The sheriff, a friend of mine, met me outside the small volunteer firehouse where I was to speak. "The Ku Klux Klan is here in full regalia.'' he told me. ''If you'd like. I'll keep them out of your meeting.'' For just a second, I'll confess, I weighed his offer. But I was not in the business of trying to keep constituents out of public gathenngs even if they were in the KKK. No, I told my fnend, the Klansmen could come in. m. long as they removed their hood . There'<; no place for anon) nuty in a public meeung, 1 said . And so about 25 of them - hoodless - marched down the aisle made by the rickety foldmg chairs set up in the tin) firehouse nnd took places in the front. Was this or was this not a Chnstmn nauon, they demanded. And what did I think about Jewish influence in Hollywood and on the media? I responded calmly, but their persistent overtones of auti-Semitism wore audience's patience. out the Eventually they left. and the meeting continued. I've been thinking recently about that long-ago event ns the temperature of congressional town meetings heats up. Media coverage of stormy public .gatherings may give the tmprcssJOn that we've entered an espcciall) fraught time for public discourse, but I can tell you that anyone who's been in public life for a while has seen plenty of fierce town hall meetings. The challenge is not to avoid controversy; it's to make it pro- ductive. Here arc some things I've learned over the years about how to do that. First, you have to recognit.e that public meetmg~ are crucial for members of Congress and other elected ·ofticials. They're where they can best gauge the intensity of public feeling. hear from ordinary citizen~. and g1ve people a chance to get to know firsthand their representative. Sometimes you must s4uarc your shoulders before you heud into a room where you know tempers are gomg to flare, but this is democracy at the retail level, and it's vital. Often. raw emotions surface - a particular /olicy can affect people deepl) , an they ought to hold strong views about it. The first rule ifvou're the official presiding over the·meet ing is to be unfailmgl) polite and let e\ eryone speak - don't cut anyone off. The crowd will al\\ays start out sympathizing with friends and neighbors, even vociferous ones, but I've noticed that angry or long-winded speakers inevitably wear out their welcome, ns the Klan members in Indiana did. In the end. most people come to meetings like these to listen and discuss, not hear someone ebc harangue them. In some ways, the bigger challenge that a member of Congress faces is to drmv out the people who don't speak easily, but who often have insightful things to say. Every meeting will have speakers seeking the limelight; the trick is to create a space where the more hesitant can feel comfortable saying what's on their minds, too. Sometimes. it's hard to understand a question or comment: people don't always express themseh es clearly. But it's important to try hard, and not simply brush omeone off because he m .

Because whed you do finally understand, you'll be impressed by the common sense and pragmatism that often underlie people "s concerns. no matter how angry or tongue-tied they appear to be. Finally. meetings like these are a, chance not only to educate the public. but also to be educated by it. Once. at an especially lively meeting over the Panama Canal treaties in the I 970s. I found myself - a supporter of the treaties - overwhelmed by the oppo· sition in the room and not quite ~ure I would emerge from the meeting in one piece. A constituent I'd never met' stood up and gave the most cogent argument for ratification I'd ever: heard. Not only did the room quiet down, but I took those debating points back to Washington with duly reminded that there is great w dom even in the most obscure come of our country. Over my years in Congress, I conducted hundreds. if not thousands. o( town hall meetings. Almost every time I came away with the feeling that this was precisely what 1 was meant to be doing - engaging with my constituents in a small part of the dialogue of democracy. Just as often. these meetings reinforced my confidence in the fairness. decency and judgment of the American people. So as we look ahead to the next congressional recess. and no doubt to the next round of heated town hall meetings. let\ remember that they. too. help ensure that our representative democrac\ remains vibrant.

Art and Dan Rooney, Noll and Shula), ever-changing names (Chad Ochocinco nee Johnson). long names (Ben Roethlisberger and T.J. }ioushmandzadeh) and big names (Terry Bradshaw, Joe Greene, Anthony Munoz). Strange nicknames too, like Wicky Wacky (Sam Wyche) and Mad Dog (Dwight White). The franchises once played in stadiums that not only looked alike and sounded alike. Riverfront Stadium and Three Rivers Stadium. but were located alongside the Ohio River. They've shared coaches (Dick LeBeau. Ken Anderson) and the same division since 1970. What they've almost never shared is first place so deep into a season. For only the third time since the rivalry began. the Bengals (6-2) and Steelers (6-2) will play with first place on the line during the second half of a season - and one previous instance. 1990, deserves an asterisk because the Oilers also were tied.

Josh Shields. the new state wildlife offi<;cr for Meigs County. and I conducted a hunter education class at the Kountr}' Resort Campgrounds near Pomeroy. Teaching hunter education. something I have done for the past 14 years ~r so, is an activity that I · ·ind personally satisfying, because hunting. and hunting ..,afcly. has been a big part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. Ever) year. for as long as r have been teaching hunter education. the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Dh ision of Wildlife provides a hunter injury incident report for the previous year, detailing various hunting-related ''incidents'' (not "accidents" which are unavoidable or unpreventable) and their causes. whether selfinflicted or not. and which ones resulted in fatalities. In addition. there is a I ittle statistical information including ages. hunting illegally, type of arm. species hunted and so on. Although these hunter injury incident reports serve as a stark reminder of e potential hazards of • unting, they also serve to remind us just how safe hunting really is. According to the 2008 Ohio Hunter Incident Injury Report, there were 23 shooting-related injuries. two of which In the Open Jim Freeman resulted in fatalities. Even one hunting-related accident is unacceptable, but the report indicates that 99.9 percent of Ohio hunters experienced safe and enjoyable hunts. Only one out of every 21.739 hunters was injured in a hunting-related shooting incident. So hunting. as I frequently point out during hunter education classes, is one of the safest pastimes a person can enjoy. but a little common sense goes a long way toward making it even safer. 1 believe that most people. when they think about hunter safety. tend to focus primarily on firearm safety: and while always keeping in mind the four rules of safe gun handling (keep that muzzle pointed in a safe direction, treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun, don't aim a gun at anything you do not want to shoot, keep your finger off the trigger) IS important. you should know that most hunting accidents do not involve the discharging of firearms. Rather. it is things like hypothermia, all-terrain vehicles. tree stand falls and poor physical conditioning (heart attacks) that tend to get hunters injured or killed. So just for this moment, forget about guns. In southeastern Ohio and West Virginia, one of the biggest safety problems is a result of four-wheeler accidents. About eight years ago I addressed the topic of ATV accidents and parents who don't want their children to hunt because ''It's too dangerous" only to later see those same children riding around on ATVs that are way too large for them (and ATVs are getting bigger and bigger). Of course the fourwheelers themselves are only mechanical objects that aren't dangerous until you introduce a human element like inexperienced operators, riding while intoxicated. or too fast for conditions. Safety aside make • sure you ask landowners before you ride on their property, and then respect the privilege by not making big ruts, riding across crop fields or riding over fences. Tree stands, too. represent a danger to the hunter. and one not reflected in the hunter injury incident reports. I always recommend to students not to use homemade, so-called "permanent'' tree stands; these little tree houses tend to rot in time. come loose. and damage or killdtrees. l alwfays recommen a manu actured climbing stand. ladder or hang-on type of stand (approved by the Treestand Manufacturers of America or TMA- look for the sticker). Make sure. though. that you inspect the stand .before every usc. Check it for cracks, broken seams, busted or torn straps, and any other damage that can make it unsafe. Also make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions. Here are a few basic tree stand safety tips: always wear a harness; never climb into your stand with a loaded gun or bow, always raise or lower it with a rope (make sure that mu.ale is pointed toward the ground); don't fall asleep; don't go any higher than necessary; use extreme caution when entering or exiting a stand, especially after taking a shot at an animal. So as you head out to the woods please keep safety in mind and don't forget take along a youngster. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

Iowa (AP) -As the college basketball world waited breathlessly, Iowa prep phenom Harrison Barnes dialed into a vtdeo ·conference with his future coach. No one but Barnes. bis mother and his little sister knew who would be on the other line Friday - until beaming North Carolina coach Roy Williams peared on a screen posined next to a hastily sembled podium. • ''All rig:ht!" Williams said. ~ All right indeed, for the Tarheels. Not so great for Duke. Kansas, Oklahoma, UCLA and his hometown school. Iowa State. Barnes. a 6-foot-7 swingman from Ames widely regarded as the top player in the Class of 2010. announced Friday ·that he would play for North Carolina. Barnes made the announcement before hundreds of students and onlookers many of whom were decked out in Iowa State gear - in the gym at Ames High School. Even though the crowd was decidedly pro-Iowa State, Barnes got a rousing ovation when he broke the news to Williams and the Tarheels. who were huddled around a video phone awaiting his decision. . "We developed a lot of trust in our relationship,'' Barnes said of Williams. "It was great to see how, even though we developed that relationship, he didn't get comfortable with that. He still kept coming to see me. He still kept calling me. He really put in the time and effort." Barnes said he chose North Carolina both because of his relationship with Williams and the school's academics. Barnes had long said he was looking for a program with a strong business school. He said he plans to study busmess at North Carolina and graduate in just three years. "I think he's a great teacher of the game. But more than that, I liked the academic plan they had for me." Barnes said. Barnes led Ames to a 26-0 record and a state title last winter. but made a name for himself nationally with impressive performances on the summer circuit. He's been an athletic wing player with a strong jump shot. a high basketball IQ and the ability to defend multiple positions. Barnes wouldn't say whether he 'II play shooting guard or small forward for North Carolina, but odds are the Tarheels will find somewhere to play him. 'Til play whatever gets me on the floor," Barnes said. ''I think it's just good to be versatile." Barnes' signing is yet another coup for Williams involving Iowa prep standouts. He signed Iowans Nick Collison. Raef LaFrentz and Kirk Hinrich while at Kansas. But Barnes is arguably the highest-rated of those prospects. He plays with Iowa State coach Greg McDermott's son, Doug. at Ames High, his mother, Shirley Barnes, works for TRIBUNE STAFF MDTSPORTSCMYOAILYTRIBUNE COM 1 The Gallia A~ademy D · . . 1 B ue _evl 1s footb.t!l te,un earned three AII-SEOAL football team selections as well as two honorable mention selections.

The series usually is so one-sided, with the Steelers controlling the 1970s, 1990s and this decade and the Bengals dominating in the 1980s, that the games often are mere stepping stones to bigger ones. Not this time. With both teams playing relati\ ely soft schedules, Sunday's winner will have the chance to be in control the rest of the way. If the Steelers win their sixth in a row, they'll lead by one game and will own the momentum. Should the Bengals repeat their lastinute 23-20 win over ttsburgh on Sept. 27. ey'll effectively lead by two games because they'll • own the tiebreaker based on sweeping the season series.

Athens World Series of Poker commissioner leaving post LAS VEGAS (AP) The commissioner of the World Series of Poker is leaving his post days after the series crowned its latest main event champion. Jeffrey Pollack told The Associated Press that Friday was his last day working for the series and private casino operator Harrah's Entertainment Inc. He had led the series since 2005, after Harrah's bought the series and moved it from Binion's Horseshoe to the Rio AllSuite Hotel & Casino near the Las Vegas Strip. "It's bittersweet but I'm leaving with just great memories and a really nice sense of it being a great run," Pollack said. "More than anything else, I'm just appreciative of the opportunity to have been part of the WSOP." Under Pollack's tenure, the series added the World Series of Poker Europe and expanded its tournament offerings in Las .Vegas, benefiting as the game became more popular among international play- ers. Series spokesman Seth Palansky said there were no immediate intentions to replace Pollack. "We appreciate Jeffrey's contributions over the past four years and wish him the best in the future," Palansky said in a statement. This year's world series had 57 gold bracelet events and included a Tournament of Champions, an invitational that brought together past main event winners. It was also the second year that the series delayed the main event's final table, to allow ed.ited tapedelayed television coverage to air before the finale of the tournament unfolded. Pollack Jeaves nearly six months after Harrah's announced it was forming Harrah's Interactive Entertainment, a Montrealbased subsidiary that is exploring online gambling outside the United States and managing the series. Its chief executive is Mitch Garber, a former Party Gaming CEO. Pollack was announced as the subsidiary's president in May. Pollack, a former NASCAR managing director for broadcasting and new media and NBA vice president of marketing and communications, said he hasn't yet decided on his next move. "I really wanted to see this year through, see this series through," Pollack said. ''I'm leaving on an absolute high note." The series finished its 40th year this week when Joe Cada became its youngest main event champion in history. winning $8.55 million for beating 6.493 opponents in a no-limit Texas Hold 'em tournament that cost $10,000 to enter.

Now the Bearcats can try to run the table with their senior quarterback throwing the ball. Tony Pike threw two touchdown passes in a cameo appearance Friday night, and the Bearcats overcame a self-destructive first half to beat West Virginia 24-21 for the best start in school history. Cincinnati ·oo-o. 6-0 Big East) struggled offensively because of uncharacteristic mistakes - a fumble. a dropped touchdown pass, a missed field goal and an interception - all in the first half. In the clutch, the Bearcats were good enough in front of the biggest crowd in Nippert Stadium's history. "It's unbelievable how much winning can change a city and how much a city can rally behind you," said Pike, who was 2 of 4 for 16 yards and the two touchdowns. A pair of sophomores who opened the season as backups led them through. Isaiah Pead ran for a career-high 175 yards, and Zach Collaros threw for 205 yards in his fourth start for Pike, who is recovering from an injur) to his nonthrowing arm. "We definitely shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times in the first half," said Collaros, who was 17 of 24. "We came back to the sideline and said. 'They're not stopping us. As long as we keep doing what we do and take care of business the way we have the last nine games. we'll be all right.'" West Virginia (7-3, 3-2) took advantage of the mistakes to keep it close, but couldn't break through. The Mountaineers wasted a chance with 5:23 left, going for it. on fourth-and-8 from the Cincinnati 24-yard line. Jarrett Brown's pass into the end zone while under pressure fell incomplete. "I was going for the win.;· coach Bill Stewart said. "It was goi~g to be tough to stop them. We really hadn't stopped them all night. I couldn't go for the field goal. I figured the game would go to the end.'' Pead cut across the field on a 43-yard run on the next play that put Cincinnati in position to take control. Jake Rogers' 38-yard field ·goal made it 24-14 with 2:08 left. Brown's touch- down pass against a soft defense cut it to 24-21 with 39 seconds left and West Virginia out of timeouts. Cincinnati's Armon Binns recovered the onside kick to finish it off. "Every loss hurts, but this is a very tough loss,'' fullback Ryan Clarke said. "This kind of loss really hits you.'' Pike's return got the Bearcats going. The senior quarterback damaged the plate in his left forearm a month ago, forcing the inexperienced Collaros to run the offense for the last four games. With a protective brace on his left arm. Pike got back on the field Friday and made an instant impact. He completed Cincinnati's opening drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Binns ton his first snap. He also came off the bench and finished the Bearcats' opening drive of the second half with a 6yard scoring pass to D .J. Woods, a throw zipped between defenders that made it 21-14. "You couldn't ask for anything better," Pike said. "I got a great ovation. You couldn't write a better script, coming in on the first play and throwing a touchdown.'' Coach Brian Kelly figured it was a good spot for Pike because the Mountaineers wouldn't blitz Pike. To throw a touchdown on the first pass? ''I don't know if anybody's ever done that before," Kelly said. ''It was kind of crazy.'' Brown played with a sprained foot and came u~ limping at times, but mad~ enough important plays t<! keep it close. Noel Devine~ the Big East's second-leading rusher, played with a sore ankle and ran for 88: yards. He was on the side-: line getting his left ankleretaped during the Mountaineers' decisive drive that came up empty. • Cincinnati had been the only team in' the Bot Subdivision that hadn't l a fumble this season. T streak ended when tight en Adrien Robinson coughed it': up at midfield after a catch: setting up West Virginia's first score. The Bearcats had another self-destru<;tive drive in the when second quarter, Robinson dropped a pass in the end zone and Rogers then missed a field goal after a bad snap, keeping it tied. Not for long. Clarke broke a 37-yard run on a third-. and-short play. putting the Mountaineers up 14-7 midway through the second quarter. Cincinnati hadn't trailed since the third game of the season at Oregon. State. There were more Bearcar blunders to come. " Pead fumbled while diving over the pile and stretlt ~ ing the ball toward the g line, with West Virgin . recovering. The call was overturned on review, which indicated the ball crossed the goal line before he los! it. Collaros forced a pass that was picked off just before the break for his first interception in his four starts. leaving it tied 14-14 at halftime.

(AP) Kentucky 'freshman Eric Bledsoe scored 24 points while starting in place of John Wall, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats opened the John Calipari era with a 75-59 win over Morehead State on Friday night. Patrick Patter.;on added 20 points - including his frrst career 3-pointer - to go with 12 rebounds. and Darnell Dodson scored 15 points as Kentucky (1-0) fulled away in the second hal . Kenneth Faried led Morehead State (0-1 ) with 17 points, but the defending Ohio Valley Conference champions couldn't keep up even with Wall sitting on the bench. The highly touted recruit sat out as part of an NCAA suspension for accepting improper benefits from his AAU coach. He's expected to play Monday against M1ami (Ohio) . Not that Kentucky needed Wall in the second half, as Bledsoe dazzled a raucous Rupp Arena crowd with a senes of breathtaking shots. Still. there were plenty of difficulties for the Wildcats. who never trailed after the game's opening minutes but struggled to J?Ut away the Eagfes. Calipan stressed there would be growing pains as Kentucky got used to the dribble-drive offense that he used with great success at Memphis - and he wasn't kidding. The Wildcats turned it over 24 times, made just four of 19 3-pointers and seemed to be indecisive while trying to decide whether to ·take an open shot or get to the basket. Kentucky led 33-25 at the half and as the Wildcats slogged their way through the opening minutes of the second, the Eagles appeared to flirt - albeit briefly - with following in the footsteps of VMI and Gardner-Webb, small schools who pulled big upsets at Rupp. Those losses came under former coach Billy Gillispie. who was replaced by Calipari, now the highest paid coach in the country. He was brought in to return the blue bloods to gre~tness, and although he said before the game he wouldn't be surprised if the Wildcats opened 0-5, there was little doubt how much hi. first night as the coach of col lege basketball's all-time winningest program meant. He stomped, he pleaded. he' cajoled. He called a 30-second timeout after Faried dunked to pull the Eagles within 52-39 with about 9 minutes left, and slammed bis fist a couple of times while urging his team to go play ball. It worked. Bledsoe, almost an afterthought given all the hype surrounding the supremely talented Wall, wasted little time proving there's more than one freshman guard on the team who can be a blur when the ball is in his hands. During one sequence Bledsoe fed a streaking Patterson for a lay-up, then followed a few moments later with a breathtaking coast-tocoast dash for another easy basket. His best moment came later, when he knifed into the lane, absorbed contact and flipped the ball over his head with hi. back to the basket. The ba bounced off the rim several times before falling through the net. The sellout crowd roared its approval, and Bledsoe kept them on their feet with another assist to Patterson on Kentucky's next possession. He later hit a fadeaway from 17 feet while falling on his backside, one of his few missteps. Bledsoe walked off the floor to a standing ovation with 1:4 1 left and received some love from Wall. The two are expected to play alongside each other when the Wildcats play the RedHawks on Monday. part of a lineup that did little to dampen the high expectations set out by one of the country's most demanding fan bases.

BY JAMES SANDS The last three songs were published shortly before Gaither came to Gallipolis, so Gallians were some of the first to hear the new songs. Like Gaither. Doug Oldham was a native of Indiana. He had been in full time music since the 1950s. By 1968, he had sung with the Christian Brothers Quartet. on the Cadle Chapel's Radio Sh9w· and traveled with Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians big band. Oldham sang at a state dinner for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip while Eisenhower was president. Oldham had also formed his own group called the Doug Oldham Singers and had done several solo albums~ Oldham traveled with Benny Hinn and Billy Graham before joining Jerry Falwell at Thomas Road Baptist Church for several years. He then toured the country as a solo artist. making many recordings. His most requested song was probably "The King 1s Coming.'' But in 1968 Christian music had not yet gone mainstream so many people in mainline churches had yet to hear of either Oldham or Gaither. But eve.n most traditional church hymnals today include songs written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. Just this year the release of the two volume ''The Gaither Vocal Band Reunion" · DVD became a big success. It debuted at No. 1 and No. 2 on Billboard Magazine's music video chart and remained there for three weeks. The DVD and the CD dominated Christian music and Southern Gospel chmts this year. Gaither also made history in 2009 by introducing a gospel quartet that has five members instead of the traditional four. The interesting thing about the Gaithers is that they still live in the same house they started in there in Alexandria, · Ind. Their large publishing and recording company is based there . . Gaither once admitted that he did not have God figured out. but ''if God could use two imperfect people like us to communicate His truth to the world, He can use everyone.''

Barnes Foundation breaks ground in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Barnes Foundation broke Friday on a new museum, the final chapter in its cmbittenng quest to break its founder's will and move its multibillion-dollar art collection from the suburbs to downtown. About 150 people, most of them from Philadelphia's arts an~ philanthropic communities, were on hand for the event, whtch took place under an enormous tent that blocked out the chilly rain - and the view of a group protesting the move. Barnes boa(d chairman Bernard C. Watson told the crowd of 200 guests that the move guarantees the collection will be protected and ends the legal wrangling in its "besieged suburban setting." , "None of the people raising their voices now in anger reached into their pockets to assist us in Merion," he said. The new Barnes is slated to open in 2012 on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rodin Museup1 and the city's science museum. About 20 protesters outside the groundbreaking held signs reading "Crime Scene Do Not Enter'' and "Toxic Area Tax Dump Site.'' · Evelyn Yaari of Friends of the Barnes Foundation, a group opposing the move, called the plan "a stupid attempt to recreate what we already have" and a pork barrel project that will destroy a unique cultural treasure. "The very last thing we should do is dismantle it " she said. ''and good practices tell us that we should conse~e the authentic and not undertake actions that cannot be undone." Albert Barnes, a pharmaceutical magnate, established the foundation in 1922 to teach populist methods of appreciating and evaluating art. His collection includes an astounding trove of French impressionist and postimpressionist masterpieces and thousands of other objects in its 23-room limestone gallery by French architect Paul Philippe Cret. Barnes died in a 1951 car crash, and his will instructed that his paintings, including 18 I Renoirs, 69 Cezannes. 60 Matisses and 44 Picassos, "remain in exactly the places they are'' after his death. Half a century after his death, the foundation he started said it would go bankrupt if forced to stay in its out-of-theway home. which was subject to township rules that severely restricted the number of visitors. The fo~n~ation asked a Mo.ntgomery County judge in 2004 for petmtsston to break the wtll and move near Philadelphia's more popular and more accessible cultural attractions. Since the move was approved. the Barnes has raised $150 million, including a $25 million grant from the state and millions more from three charitable foundations, for construction and to establish an operating endowment. Its goal is $200 million. Mayor Michael Nutter and other local lawmakers at Friday's event said the Barnes will bring with it jobs. tourist dollars and prestige. . Barnes placed his paintings close together and grouped them with objects like metal hinges and wrought ironwork as a teaching tool to illustrate common aesthetic themes. gr~und The Arrow<.?od family reunion was held Sept. 26.2009. in memory of Ltsa and Ola Arrowood.

Although Veterans Day is over, students at Wahama High School will pay tribute to local veterans with a book. which is expected to be released by February or early March. Walter Raynes. WHS teacher. organized the project last fall with his II th grade English students. who are now seniors. According to Raynes. students interviewed area veterans and wrote short biographies about the veterans· experiences. The biographies were then compiled into one book. which is currently in the process of being published. "The book is about veterans from World War II to the most recent in the Gulf and Afghanistan. Each student interviewed a different veteran." Raynes said. "There are 32 different veterans featured - all are war veterans." He added that individual students were assigned one veteran to interview. According to Raynes. the biographies depict the veterans' time spent in the war. their experiences as well as their viewpoint on what the experience meant to them. "The ~tudents did an . excellent job on the book, but the main thing is in addi~ tion to writing skills, they have learned to have more respect for our veterans," Raynes said. ''Our veterans are our everyday heroes. neighbors and grandparents - that is the biggest thing that the kids learned." According to Raynes, he got the idea for his students to write a book on veterans after the success of another book his students wrote. which was on area senior citizens. "I wanted to take the idea and do something bigger:· he said. adding that the book project was made possible through a $6.000 donation from AEP River Transportation.

"I think (writing a book) is :_..omething that not many kids get to experience. he said. "I preach writing to my kids.

In this film publicity image • released by Searchlight films, the character Mr. Fox is shown in a scene from, "Fantastic Mr. Fox." AP photo Review: 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' is mighty fine BY DAVID GERMAIN ASSOCIATED PRESS It may not merit the adjective in its title, yet the animated yarn "Fantastic Mr. Fox" offers some of the most goofy fun you'll have at a theater this season. With George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Bill Murray leading the top-notch voice cast, director Wes Anderson has found an ideal story and medium - stop-motion animation - to bring his cockeyed vision to the cartoon world. B1its may be annoyed at this latest Americanization of one of their beloved literary works. Yet in the hands of Anderson ("The Royal Tenenbaums," "Rushmore"), Roald Dahl's illustrated children's book gets loving treatment and a distinct handcrafted style that sets it apart from the sleek computergenerated imagery dominating animation today. This story of a poultry-thieving fox and the evil farmers waging war on him is a delightful whirl-. wind of mayhem and high spirits. It's lightweight fun, yet "Fantastic Mr. Fox" succeeds on all levels, presenting cute and clever little varmints to charm children while offering adults merry screwball humor that slyly stretches the film's family-friendly PG rating. Clooney provides vocals for the title character. a fox who reluctantly gives up his glamorous but perilous chicken-snatching life at the behest of his wife (voice by Streep), who wants to raise a family in peace and quiet. Years later, they have a nice new home that stretches the finances of Mr. Fox's job as a newspaper columnist for the local animal community. The Foxes have a sullen teen son ("Rushmore'' star Jason Schwartzman) whose insecurities are compounded by a visit from his handsome. talented cousin (Anderson's brother, Eric, also an illustrator on the film). His domicile in plain sight of the livestock and produce riches of farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean, Mr. Fox is unable to resist one last poultry caper, but his raids on all three farms bring down the mechanized wrath of the human world on all surrounding wildlife. Trapped underground with his family and a menagerie of angry neighbors, Mr. Fox marshals an interspecies rebellion against the humans that want to exterminate them. The slightly clunky, coarse animation - little puppets on miniature sets, moved in tiny increments and photographed a frame at a time - beautifully complements this c;haggy-dog story. Some of the facial expressions the animators achieve with their furry puppets are as weirdly expressive as anything you '11 find in the human world. while the Wolfman-like close-ups of Mr. Fox at his most manic add to the energy of the film. The wisecracks in Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach's screenpla~ often are hilarious, as is the slang the animals use to cuss like sailors. Clooney's in his best smoothtalker form and Streep's vocals are pure grace and class, supported by great drollery from Schwartzman and frequent Anderson collaborator Murray, providing the voice of a Badger who is Mr. Fox's attorney. Willem Dafoe provides menace as a rat guarding the poultry, while Michael Gambon lends sonorous voice to the main he~vy. Farmer Bean (the farmers all have British accents, the animals American; sin.

They learned, though, as part of a project by a local college to help a community hard-hit by the recession grow some of its own food. Wilmington College provided the 20 plots and the guidance in this southwestern Ohio town after DHL Express decided last year to close its operation here, putting most of 8,000 Wilmington Air Park employees out of work. Local unemployment has soared to 15 percent. Food pantries and other charities reported unprecedented demand, so the school, besides using its agricultural program to raise and donate crops, decided it could have a lasting impact by teaching people to garden. "It's not about a handout. it's a hand up," said Chris Bums-Dibiasio, whose husband, Daniel, is president of the private college of some 1,700 students. "It's teaching them how to supplement their groceries: it's about building a local food system." The "Grow Food. Grow Hope" program began in late spring in a grassy lot next to a college parking lot. The 20 initial families were identified with the help of social services agencies. Students and staff set up 4by- ~2-foot plots, and provided manure and compost. An anonymous donor helped cover costs, from hoes for each family to a solar-powered electric fence to keep out critters. Now, nine volunteers from VISTA, the national service program, are also helping out, trying to expand the program to more families and more seasons, and teach schoolchildren how to garden. "We were surprised: we didn't know that this little area could produce so much," said Mandy Gillis as her 4-year-old son, Logan. AP photo This photo taken Sept. 17, shows Josh and Mandy Gillis working in their garden with their children Faith and Logan on the campus of Wilmington College in Wilmington. plucked ripe tomatoes off the vines the family planted and grew themselves. She and her husband. Josh, have enjoyed watching their four children eat broccoli straight from the garden, and have become experts on all things zucchini: :wcchini bread. zucchini muffins, zucchini cakes, zucchini spaghetti sauce, hamburgers mixed with zucchini. Every Tuesday evening, the families came to plant, weed and finally harvest, with the help of Wilmington teachers and volunteer "master gardeners" from the community. "I would tell them, 'If it doesn't look like what you planted, it's a weed, pull it up!''' recounted Mohte Anderson, an agriculture professor who helped direct the project. Community gardens are on a roll across the country. from the one Michelle Obama began on the White House lawn to ''urban gardens" in cities from New York to San Francisco. They are popular for aesthetic, environmental. nutritional and economic reasons. ''There was a lot of motivation here," Anderson said. Gardeners need to remain committed, he said, or community gardens can turn into a mess. Two families dropped out in Wilmington but were quickly replaced. The project's structured approach, including weekly meetings, helped keep it on target, Anderson said. As the first lettuce, green beans and tomatoes ripened, gardening lessons were supplemented by demonstrations on cooking and preserving crops. The lessons were conducted using a picnic table and a portable stove. "It was pretty primitive out here;· said Anderson with a laugh, adding that the school is seeking grants for more cooking equipment and other materials for next year. Lori Fetherolf, 44, who had been without a steady job for nearly a year, said she had always considered a garden too demanding, but was pleasantly surprised that by regularly investing about an hour a week more during harvest time she could grow many vegetables to get her through the winter "It's been a tremendous help," she said. "Vegetables are expensive in the grocery store." She learned to make fresh radish dip and to cook squash for the first time. She. grew nearly 100 tomatoes. She said she realized that while unemployed, she had been filling up on cheap foods that weren't good for her. ''This has allowed me to start eating healthier," she said. ''I'm amazed at how much better fresh green bean::. taste than out of the can." With their newly acquired agricultural knowledge. the Gillis family is planning a garden at home next year and possibly a second garden for com, which takes up too much ground for the small college plots. "We learned a lot of basic things," said Josh, 32. "We learned how far down to plant the seeds, how far apart to spread them. I didn't know: I thought you just put it in the ground and it all comes up." But they also want to participate again in the college project. "I've met a lot of people here. We share vegetables with each other,'' he said. "It's really been good to get out here in the community and work together." Ida further stows harvest for Southern farmers Bv Boa JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTGOMERY. Ala. Tropical Storm Ida may not have done much damage when it hit the Gulf Coast this week, but its wind and rain compounded the misery for Southern farmers already coping with a wet, difficult harvest season. "Tack this to the weather we've already had and it's adding insult to injury. This season has been topsy turvey," said Andy Wendland, who grows cotton. corn, soybeans, wheat and other grains in central Alabama. The problem is that a wet spring delayed planting and a rainy, cool fall has delayed the harvest of cotton, peanuts and other crops by more than a month. Ida's rain and wind ·further hindered frantic farmers desperate to get crops out of the ground and to market. "Farmers had been so far behind, this put them in a worse situation than they were already in," said Greg Gibson, public relations coordinator for the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation. He said Ida mostly affected farmers in the southeastern section of the state. Jeff Helms, communications director for the Alabama Farmers Federation, said harvest operations already were delayed by one of the wettest Octobers on record. "Normally this time of year three-fourths of the cotton in the state would be harvested and now only one-third of the cotton has been harvested," Helms said. The rains from Ida have also dampened the crop outlook. Farmers said they generally expect yields, especially for cotton, to be lower than normal this year. "Most of the farmers have gone from viewing this as a good to excellent crop to a fair to good crop,'' Helms said. In some cases. farmers worry that they wi II lose some of their crop to rot. Others say the quality of their harvest may be harmed by the excess rains. Jim .Kelly. who farms more than 3.000 acres of cotton, peanuts and corn in southeast Alabama and northwest Florida, said cotton turns grayish and becomes less valuable if it stays on the bush too long. "Overall the cotton quality is not very good. I'd say we've lost about 30 percent of the cotton crop at this time.'' said Kelly, who is a member of the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries Board of Directors. In Georgia. pecan growers are worried that the moisture will rot pecans before they can be picked. And the flavor and quality of peanuts, which grow under the soil, can be harmed by wet, muddy conditions. ·•A lot of the pecans are experiencing some rot and the wet weather has contributed to this," said Don McGough, director of commodities and marketing for the Georgia Farm Bureau. Wendland, who farms about 2,500 acres near Autaugaville in central Alabama, said he is only halfway through harvesting a cotton crop that normally would be almost be finished by now. But he said he still hopes to harvest most of his crops. even if it means working into the winter. "I think we are going to get the crops out of the fields one way or the other," he said. But William Birdsong, an extension agronomy ·specialist at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Service in Headland in southeast Alabama, said the fall rains, including those from Ida, have left farms "on the verge of disaster.'' Did you have higher than normal yields in soybeans, hay and corn? Did you skimp on adding potassium and phosphonts tnis past spring due to high fertilizer prices? Robert Mullen. an Ohio State University Extension Soil Fertility Specialist has been asked by farmers, can they get away with minimal fertili/,er inputs next ~pring? •H . response is you need to check your nutrient levels of y fields by taking a soil test and take into account what y are growing. "You're not always going to see a yield loss, but you run a greater risk of a nutrient deficiency and ~ub­ sequent yield lost if you do!l 't make any applications and your soil tests are hovering at or below critical levels." Mullens states that "fertilizer prices have dropped dramatically since last year, from $1200 a ton to less than $400 a ton for phosphorus and from $1 .000 a ton to about half that now for potassium'." Soil testing is not an absolute science due to the fact that weather conditions influence the availability of phosphorus and potassium tied up in soil. Minimal amounts of phosphoms go a long way except when it is tied up in soil during cold spring weather especially for new plantings.
