Bird-watching has long been anenjoyable pastime for SandyCzajka and her family. But thewinged wonders of flight were nother first choice when she decidedto try her hand at woodcarving 10years ago.Czajka had her sights set on
“St. Nick” — as in, Santa Claus.The birds, subsequently, ended upbeing a better choice for the Troywoman, who recently won Best inDivision for Decorative Life-SizeWildfowl at the 42nd annual WardWorld Championship WildfowlCarving Competition in OceanCity, Md.“When I started this, I thought
I was going to take a knife on myback porch and whittle away on a
piece of wood,” she said. “And now,all of a sudden …”Well, it didn’t happen “all of a
sudden,” but since 2002, Czajkahas garnered several nationalawards — ranging from competi-tions in Dayton and Troy to Iowaand Maryland — and rapidly pro-gressed through four of the fivelevels of competition: Novice, inter-mediate, open and masters.“World” status is the only level
that eludes Czajka, who, with herher husband, Bill, raised threechildren in Troy — Ben, Katie andLauren.She said she was inspired to
pick up wood carving about 10years ago when she heard about ashow put on by the DaytonCarvers.“I went to a show 10 years ago
this year … and I was so excited,”she remembered. “You know thoseSanta Clauses that stand about 4feet tall? That was what I wantedto make.”

With a love of antiquesand an empty property onMarket Street, Lisa andDoug Supinger did whatmade sense — open a shopfull of furniture, jewelry,framed pictures, books and
much more, which theynamed Station 5.“We collect a lot of
antiques, and we were col-lecting more than we weretaking out,” Lisa said.The couple had two
barns full of unused itemsat home and, convenientlyenough, an unused proper-ty at 206 S. Market St.,
which previously was awoodworking shop andthen a tire shop. Theydecided it would be a goodfit for an antiques business,and thus Station 5 wasborn June 1. The store isopen 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.Thursdays and Fridaysand 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.Saturdays.
Lisa and Doug say theyare committed to keepingprices low. By owningrather than renting thebuilding, they avoid theoverhead costs that otherbusinesses face.“We’re not out-pricing
ourselves out of business. Aprofit’s a profit,” Doug said.Antiques businesses
have been hit hard in thesluggish economy becauseshopping for collectiblesand second-hand items istypically discretionaryspending, Doug comment-ed. But he said people inthe business full-time —like themselves — are

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) —After an 8 1/2-month voyagethrough space, NASA’s souped-upMars spacecraft zoomed towardthe red planet for what theagency hopes will be an epictouchdown.The fiery punch through the
tenuous Martian atmosphere at13,000 mph tonight marks thebeginning of “seven minutes ofterror” as the Curiosity roveraims for a bull’s-eye landinginside a massive crater near theequator.The latest landing attempt is
more nerve-racking than in thepast because NASA is testing outa new routine. Curiosity willsteer itself part of the way andend on a dramatic note: Danglingby cables until its six wheelstouch the ground.That’s the plan at least.“Can we do this? Yeah, I think
we can do this. I’m confident,”Doug McCuistion, head of theMars exploration program atNASA headquarters, saidSaturday. “We have the A-plusteam on this. They’ve done every-thing possible to ensure success,but that risk still exists.”Despite humanity’s fascina-
tion with Mars, the track record

for landing on it is lessthan stellar. Out of the 14attempts by space agen-cies around the world totouch down on Earth’sneighbor, only six havesucceeded. NASA hasfared better with only one
failure out of seven tries.In keeping with a
decades-old tradition,peanuts will be passedaround the mission con-trol room at the NASA JetPropulsion Laboratory forgood luck.NASA will need it. The
$2.5 billion mission comes
as the space agency facesa financial crunch. Itabandoned a partnershipwith the European SpaceAgency to send missionsin 2016 and 2018 and,instead, is charting a newfuture for Mars explo-ration.For now, NASA is
counting on Curiosity tonail the landing.“We’re now right on
target to fly through theeye of the needle” at the
top of the Martian atmos-phere, said mission man-ager Arthur Amador.Earlier in the week, a
dust storm swirling to thesouth of the landing sitegave the team somepause. Ashwin Vasavada,the mission’s deputy proj-ect scientist and Marsweather forecaster, saidthe storm basically went“poof ” and posed nothreat.“Mars appears to be
cooperating very nicelywith us. We expect goodweather for landingSunday night,” he said.As Curiosity plummets
to the surface, it will relyon the precisely choreo-graphed use of a heatshield and supersonicparachute to slow itsdescent. Less than a milefrom the ground, the hov-ering spacecraft willunspool cables to lowerthe rover.

Czajka said she boughtsome supplies — but soongave up on Santa in lieu ofsomething a little different.“I put that stuff way and
went to that show (inDayton) and I was soimpressed with everything,”she said. “I just thought, ‘I’dlike to try this.’”Czajka then enrolled in
classes at Riverbend ArtsCenter in Dayton, whereshe met Tipp City wood-carving instructor DickBelcher.Czajka decided she
wanted to carve birds and,although Belcher typicallydid not teach techniques forcarving birds, Czajka cred-its him for teaching her thefundamentals that helpedpoint her in the right direc-tion.“I learned what I needed
to know in that class. Dickhas taught me so much,”she said. Czajka said herlove of birds and bird-
watching helped foster adesire to bring birds to lifethrough her art.“I have always enjoyed
birds, and that has provideda great challenge for me,”she said, explaining howpast family vacations oftenincluded side trips to viewbirds. “When my childrenwere young, we used to goon vacation and did a lot ofbirding. So when I startedcarving, I wanted to carve ablue-crowned motmot —and I hadn’t seen one in 18years. “(Carving) bringsback memories of our vaca-tions. They mean some-thing special to me.”Fueled by her intense
desire to learn and improve,Belcher said Czajka hasbeen able to master bothpainting and carving abili-ties and become what heconsiders “an elite” wood-carver in a relatively shortperiod of time.“Most competitors don’t
get into masters untilthey’ve been carving for 20
or 30 years, but she’s done itin 10. She’s doing someexceptional work,” said TippCity woodcarver DickBelcher. “I’ve been teachingcarving for 40 years, andshe’s the best student I’veever had. She puts in theextra effort to study hersubjects, and it’s paid off.She’s moved into a veryelite class … and I’m proudof her.”While her finished cre-
ations are painted to accu-rately reflect each bird’sphysical appearance,Czajka said she’s fond ofworking with natural wood.“I’ve always loved the
look and feel of wood, and Itry to include natural woodin my carving,” she said,adding that most of herwork is done in tupelo wood.In addition to Belcher,Czajka also credits instruc-tors Keith Mueller and BobGuge for their guidance andinspiration during herdevelopment as a woodcarv-er.
“Bob was a great begin-ning teacher, and Keith isthe one who challenged mebeyond belief,” said Czajka,who has served as a pastpresident and vice presi-dent of the BruknerWoodcarvers, and currentlyserves as president of theDayton Carvers Guild. “Iam definitely not as good asthe world masters. I’m not aworld champion, and I’mdefinitely not of that qualityyet. But I’m still learning.”If her long list of achieve-
ments is any indication,she’s already learned quitea bit. But perhaps moreimportantly, Czajka saidshe has become part of agreat community of artists.“This is the most awe-
some hobby, and the peopleI have met would take theirshirt off their back to helpyou,” she said. “They’re awe-some people.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Therelentless, weather-gone-crazytype of heat that has blisteredthe United States and otherparts of the world in recent yearsis so rare that it can’t be any-thing but man-made globalwarming, says a new statisticalanalysis from a top governmentscientist.
The research by a man oftencalled the “godfather of globalwarming” says that the likeli-hood of such temperatures occur-ring from the 1950s through the1980s was rarer than 1 in 300.Now, the odds are closer to 1 in10, according to the study byNASA scientist James Hansen.He says that statistically what’shappening is not random or nor-mal, but pure and simple climatechange.
“This is not some scientifictheory. We are now experiencingscientific fact,” Hansen told TheAssociated Press in an interview.
Hansen is a scientist atNASA’s Goddard Institute forSpace Studies in New York and aprofessor at ColumbiaUniversity. But he is also a stri-dent activist who has called forgovernment action to curb green-house gases for years. While hisstudy was published onlineSaturday in the Proceedings ofthe National Academy of Science,it is unlikely to sway opinionamong the remaining climatechange skeptics.
However, several climate sci-entists praised the new work.
In a blunt departure frommost climate research, Hansen’s
study based on statistics, not themore typical climate modelingblames these three heat wavespurely on global warming:
Last year’s devastating Texas-Oklahoma drought.
The 2010 heat waves inRussia and the Middle East,which led to thousands of deaths.
The 2003 European heat waveblamed for tens of thousands ofdeaths, especially among the eld-erly in France.
The analysis was written
before the current drought andrecord-breaking temperaturesthat have seared much of theUnited States this year. ButHansen believes this too isanother prime example of globalwarming at its worst.
The new research makes thecase for the severity of globalwarming in a different way thanmost scientific studies and usessimple math instead of relying oncomplex climate models or anunderstanding of atmospheric
physics. It also doesn’t botherwith the usual caveats aboutindividual weather events hav-ing numerous causes.
The increase in the chance ofextreme heat, drought and heavydownpours in certain regions isso huge that scientists shouldstop hemming and hawing,Hansen said. “This is happeningoften enough, over a big enougharea that people can see it hap-pening,” he said.
Scientists have generally
responded that it’s impossible tosay whether single events arecaused by global warming,because of the influence of natu-ral weather variability.
However, that position hasbeen shifting in recent months,as other studies too have con-cluded climate change is happen-ing right before our eyes.
Hansen hopes his new studywill shift people’s thinking aboutclimate change and goad govern-ments into action. He wrote anop-ed piece that appeared onlineFriday in the Washington Post.
“There is still time to act andavoid a worsening climate, butwe are wasting precious time,” hewrote.
The science in Hansen’s studyis excellent “and reframes thequestion,” said Andrew Weaver, aclimate scientist at theUniversity of Victoria in BritishColumbia who was a member ofthe Nobel Prize-winning interna-tional panel of climate scientiststhat issued a series of reports onglobal warming.
“Rather than say, ‘Is thisbecause of climate change?’That’s the wrong question. Whatyou can say is, ‘How likely is thisto have occurred with theabsence of global warming?’ It’sso extraordinarily unlikely thatit has to be due to global warm-ing,” Weaver said.
For years scientists have runcomplex computer models usingcombinations of various factorsto see how likely a weather eventwould happen without globalwarming and with it.

Study links heat to climate change
WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obamacelebrated his 51st birthdaySaturday with a round ofgolf and a quiet weekend atCamp David, taking a breakfrom campaigning threemonths before Election Day.
Obama, wearing a whitegolf shirt, khaki pants andsunglasses, boarded MarineOne at Andrews Air ForceBase after about six hours onthe golf course before head-ing to Camp David. He wasjoined by a small group offriends and aides thatincluded White House chefSam Kass, a frequent golfpartner.
He returns to campaignmode soon enough, withfundraisers in Connecticuton Monday and campaignrallies in Colorado onWednesday and Thursday.
Next weekend, Obamawill hold several birthday-
themed fundraisers inChicago, including one at hisfamily’s South Side home.Obama’s campaign used theevent to drum up small-dol-lar donations before the endof the July fundraising dead-line, offering two lucky win-ners the chance to attend thefundraiser at Obama’s redbrick home.
In an email to supporterslast month, Obama warnedthat his birthday “could bethe last one I celebrate aspresident of the UnitedStates, but that’s not up tome it’s up to you.” Obama’steam has said he could beoutspent by Republicans andGOP candidate MittRomney.
Obama got some earlybirthday wishes onThursday during a rally inFlorida, when supportersserenaded him with “HappyBirthday.” The president
joked that his birthday wish-es “probably would have todo with electoral votes.Winning Florida wouldn’t bea bad birthday present.”
Republicans offeredtongue-in-cheek birthdaygreetings. The RepublicanNational Committee deliv-ered a birthday cake to theircounterparts at theDemocratic NationalCommittee on Friday featur-ing a picture of a smilingObama next to the words,“You didn’t bake this.”
The inscription was a ref-erence to a line from anObama speech last month inwhich he said, “If you’ve gota business, you didn’t buildthat.” Romney has seizedupon the line to questionObama’s commitment tosmall business while ObamaandDemocrats have said thequote was taken out of con-text.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Twoyears after the Obama administra-tion declared, “welcome to therecovery,” this much is clear: with42 consecutive months of thenational unemployment above 8percent, the private sector still isn’t“doing fine” and President Obama’seconomic plan did not work. Andyet, the Democrats who runWashington are demanding a mas-sive tax hike on small businessesthat — according to accountingfirm Ernst & Young — will destroymore than 700,000 jobs.As a former small businessman
in Southwest Ohio, I can tell youthat the last thing we should bedoing is raising taxes on the verypeople who create jobs. I am notalone in that assessment. On Aug.2, I released a list of 88 econo-mists who warn that the tax hikeon small businesses supported byPresident Obama and congres-sional Democratic leaders willhurt the struggling economy andmust be stopped before it goesinto effect.Dr. Susan Feigenbaum of the
University of Missouri-St. LouisDepartment of Economics bluntlysaid, “If you are currently unem-ployed, you’ll be able to thankthese tax increases for remaining
unemployed (next year).” And Dr.Jeffrey Miron of HarvardUniversity took on the president’snotion that raising taxes will helpour economy, saying that the taxhikes “are misguided in theextreme. Expenditure cuts — ofall kinds — are the path to fiscalresponsibility.”These and other economists
agree: stopping all of the tax hikesscheduled for Jan. 1 is necessaryto prevent further job losses anddamage to our nation’s economy.So on Aug.t 1, the House voted ina bipartisan way to stop the presi-dent’s small business tax hike viathe Job Protection and RecessionPrevention Act of 2012 (H.R. 8).This legislation, if enacted, wouldensure that all Americans, includ-ing our nation’s job creators, will
not have to endure this tax hike inthe coming year.But if we’re serious about long-
term economic growth, we cannotjust stop with blocking the presi-dent’s tax hike — we must reformthe broken system altogether.Middle-class families and smallbusinesses deserve a better, fairer,and simpler tax code that fostersjob growth instead of discouragingit, and the House intends to worktoward that. On Aug. 2, the Houseapproved a bill to establish anexpedited process by whichCongress would enact real taxreform in 2013, laying the ground-work for a fairer tax code that low-ers rates and closes loopholes sothat we can keep more jobs here inthe U.S. and bring home jobs thathave gone overseas.Unfortunately, the House is the
only body in Washington that hastaken action to address our brokentax code and put an end to theuncertainty the looming tax hikehas caused in our private sector.Dr. Corrine Krupp of DukeUniversity put it best when shesaid, “It is patently irresponsiblefor Congress to allow massive taxincreases to kick in while the econ-omy is still weak. It is even moreirresponsible to create and foster
an environment of uncertaintyabout future taxes now whenhouseholds and businesses areplanning for the future.”It is in the interest of our econ-
omy to quickly address this issue,and I will continue to encouragethe Democratic-controlled Senateto follow the House’s lead and passlegislation to stop the entire taxhike. Having run a small business,I know how important it is for jobcreators to have certainty, and Ihave indicated that the House willcall our members back from theirdistricts and reconvene in Augustshould the Senate act.It was President Obama him-
self who said less than two yearsago that stopping tax hikes wasthe right thing for our strugglingeconomy — and it is still the rightthing to do. Entrepreneurs andinnovators are responsible fortheir success, not government, andwe need to get Washington out oftheir way.

Tax hike on small business bad for our economy
Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram on voter rolls:There’s compelling evidence from credible sources that voter rolls
around the country are generally littered with bad information.It’s wrong to jump from there to the conclusion that voting fraud is
rampant.But in a tensely competitive presidential election year, protecting the
integrity of elections and protecting voting rights seem to have becomecompeting interests.It’s a false conflict with destructive consequences.The latest episode involves whether states can use a federal data-
base, known as SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for EntitlementsProgram), to help determine whether noncitizens are erroneously regis-tered as voters.SAVE allows government agencies to verify whether legal immi-
grants qualify for benefits and licenses. Those listed in the databasehave typically been assigned an identifying number, such as through avisa or green card. The system isn’t designed to track whether illegalimmigrants are improperly listed on voter rolls maintained at the statelevel,Now that the Homeland Security Department has agreed, after
months of sparring, to give Florida access to SAVE, other states areasking for it, too, to help purge wrongly registered noncitizens. …It’s unclear whether any changes could be made based on SAVE
before November balloting. …Republicans act as though this tool is critical; Democrats argue that
Republicans risk disenfranchising large numbers of minority voters.The reality is that election officials, academics and technology spe-
cialists have argued for years that our state-based voter registrationsystem is costly, inefficient and desperate for modernization.
Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Syria:Whatever the diehard views of Bashar al-Assad, the July 18 slaying
of three of the most important people in his regime, will have convincedmany other supporters that the game is up.Pressure will have been added by an ultimatum from the Free Syria
Army that anyone who has not abandoned the dictator, will be deemedan enemy and can expect no role in the new Syria. Yet unfortunately,this challenge from the opposition could actually backfire. Though itdemonstrates ever-greater confidence in the progress of the insurrec-tion, and will probably end up bringing about even more defectionsfrom the military… and it could start to work against the rebels.This will happen because soldiers who had failed to defect will fear
the consequences of capture in the wake of the regime’s demise. Thiswill mean that they will fight more vigorously and tenaciously thanthey might have done, even when everything is collapsing around them.Yet if, as seem likely, another amnesty is later offered to al-Assad’s sol-diers, some troops will continue fighting in the expectation that theymay receive yet another opportunity to change sides in future.The tragedy for all Syrians is that the longer the conflict continues,
the worse will be the inter-communal wounds that will be inflicted, andtherefore the harder it will be for a new and peaceful Syria to be born.For all their success, the opposition still remains pathetically divided.When Assad’s police state tyranny is overwhelmed, there seems pre-
cious little chance of any sort of united administration taking its place,until elections can be held.Indeed, the single aim the opposition parties all share, is the over-
throw of al-Assad. Once that becomes a reality, there will be nothing tobind them together and Syria could find itself in a dangerous vacuum.Online:

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio’s top education officialresigned Saturday amid eth-ical questions about hiswork for an educational test-ing contractor.Stan Heffner’s two-sen-
tence letter was released bythe state EducationDepartment and said hewould leave next Friday.Gov. John Kasich said it
was the right move. “Hismistakes in judgment wereunfortunate, but I respecthim for always puttingOhio’s students above every-thing else, including his owninterests,” Kasich said in anemailed comment.Deputy Superintendent
Michael Sawyers willbecome acting superintend-ent.No reason for his depar-
ture was given in the letter,but it came just days after astate watchdog’s findings ofwrongdoing against Heffner.The report Thursday by
Inspector General RandallMeyer found that Heffnerwas on the payroll of aTexas-based testing firmwhen he lobbied state law-makers last year on a billthat benefited the company.The IG report also found
that Heffner misused hisstate email and cellphone tocommunicate with the test-ing firm.
Top education leaderquits amid findings
Voight said Friday. “We’llbe taking every precautionwe can and post more infor-mation on the fair’s websiteso people and animalexhibitors know what towatch for.”Voight, a chairman on
the board for six years, saidthe health of the people andthe animals is a top priorityevery year.Voight said swineflu can be transmitted fromhumans to the hogs due tothe animal’s respiratory sys-tem being similar tohumans. Voight said flu out-breaks are more likely thisyear due to the drought-likeconditions and the heat.“People can give it to the
animal, so if you are sick,wait at least 24 hours afterthe fever breaks beforegoing out in public placeslike the fair,” Voight said.Voight said he and other
fair officials met with thefair’s veterinarian last weekabout extra precautions.Voight said the animal penswill be disinfected beforeand after the animals arriveand animals will be checkedtwice a day for signs of theillness.“The veterinarian will
check all the animals asthey arrive and in the morn-ing and evening of the fairas well,” Voight said. Handsanitizers have been avail-able at the animal barns forseveral years and Voighturges people to use the handsanitizer stations diligentlythis year.“People need to use com-
mon sense and good prac-
tices they should do any-way,” he said.According to The Ohio
State University Agri-cultural Extension Office, aletter from Conley Nelson,president of the NationalPork Board, was sent to par-ents and swine exhibitorsabout the heightened poten-tial of an outbreak and stepsto prevent illness to bothpeople and pigs.
“As the 2012 state fairseason is upon us, everyoneneeds to take steps to ensurethat show pigs stay healthy,”the letter states. “Influenzaor ‘flu” occasionally can betransmitted from people topigs and pig to people.” Theletter urges those with flu-like symptoms to not attendfairs for seven days or untilone has been fever-free for24 hours without the use of
medication. Also, be on thelookout for flu symptoms inpigs and to contact a localvet before bringing the ani-mal to the fair. The letteralso reminds exhibitors todisinfect all equipmentsuch as show boxes, feedpans and trailers whenreturning home from thefair. For more information,visit www.miamicounty-ohiofair.com.

Swine flu
Hand hygiene is key to preventionTROY — Recent cases of influenza at fairs in Indiana and Ohio have raised new
concerns over swine flu. At least 10 human cases of H3N2 flu have been reportedat the Butler County fair. All of the flu cases have been linked to direct contactwith pigs at the fair.Miami County Health Commissioner Chris Cook encourages people to practice
good hand hygiene at the Miami County Fair this year.“It’s the same advice that you heard from your parents growing up – wash your
hands after being around any type of animal,” Cook said. “Animals carry germs andif you don’t wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after being around them, thosegerms can make you sick.”Cook said he isn’t surprised that cases of influenza are showing up at fairs. “We
have always known that close contact with pigs or other animals increases yourchance for getting sick. After the H1N1 flu pandemic of 2009 we all have a height-ened awareness about the flu – especially when it passes from animals to people.”Influenza viruses such as H3N2 are not unusual in swine and can be directly
transmitted from swine to people and from people to swine in the same way thatall viruses can be transmitted between people. When humans are in close proximi-ty to infected pigs, such as in barns and livestock exhibits at fairs, movement ofthese viruses can occur back and forth between humans and animals. Influenzaviruses cannot be transmitted by eating pork.Whether it’s preventing the flu or E. coli, it’s very important to clean your hands
frequently at the fair. Fair-goers should always wash hands with soap and waterafter petting or touching any animal. Never eat, drink or put anything in yourmouth in animal areas.While washing your hands is the best way to stay healthy, hand sanitizer is a
good alternative.“I’m sure you will see hand sanitizer stations around the animal barns. I hope
folks take a few seconds to wash or use hand sanitizer after they are done with theanimals. It is critically important. I want people to have fun at the fair but stayhealthy too,” Cook said.For more information about hand hygiene, call Miami County Public Health at
937-573-3500 or visit www.cdc.gov/handwashing.

After 33 years in business, theowners of Carpet House in Piquahave decided to “semi-retire.”
Sue and Larry Hostetter havebeen serving Piqua and sur-rounding areas with carpetsales, installation and repairsince 1979.
“We had a good opportunity tosell the building. It’s been a real-ly good 33 years and we areready for a vacation,” Sue
Hostetter said.Although they will no longer
have a building for showroomand inventory, Larry Hostetterplans on maintaining his toolsand will be continuing to installand repair flooring on a part-time basis and can be reached athome.
The couple say they struggledinitially in 1979 to keep the busi-ness.
“We did without and pulled
through,” he said. Since then, thebusiness has taken them as farnorth as Alaska, south toGuatemala and throughout theMidwest.
“Word of mouth is really whatgot our name out there (and hav-ing a big family),” LarryHostetter said. “We try to do thejob right the first time.”
They also have been loyalsupporters of local athleticleagues and high school year-books.
Sue Hostetter gives a largeamount of credit to their long-
time employee Lynn Fogle.“He came with the business,
he was our biggest asset,” shesaid. “We may not have survivedlike we did if it wasn’t for him.”
The couple reflected on theirtime running a business inPiqua.
“The whole community hasbeen wonderful and we’ve builtsome great relationships. It’s agood feeling to be trusted by ourcustomers,” the couple said.
They talked of kids andgrandkids playing many hoursin the warehouse.
“Our children worked heregrowing up and I think that hada big influence on them,” shesaid.
A large cork board in theoffice displays 33 years of familyhistory, with newspaper clip-pings, pictures and achieve-ments within the Hostetter fam-ily. Even the family’s BostonTerrier, “Sadie,” had been brand-ed the “official greeter to the cus-tomers.
“We will miss seeing our cus-tomers the most,” Sue Hostettersaid.

NEW YORK (AP) —Cornflakes won’t necessari-ly be more expensive as aresult of rising corn prices,but the milk you pour overthem might be.
A drought covering two-thirds of the country hasdamaged much of the coun-try’s corn crops and pushedgrain prices to record lev-els, triggering fears that aspike in food prices willsoon follow.
But there are many fac-tors that determine theprice of goods on supermar-ket shelves. A diminishedcorn supply doesn’t meanthat all food prices will beaffected the same way.
In fact, you’re more like-ly to see higher prices formilk and meat than corn onthe cob. That’s because thesweet corn that shoppersbuy at a grocery store isgrown differently and notas vulnerable to droughtconditions. As for the cornthat’s used as grain feed forcows, however, farmers arepaying more as the droughtpersists.
“The financial stress isstarting to mount becausethe bills (to feed the cows)are bigger than they weresix months ago,” says ChrisGalen, a spokesman for theNational Milk ProducersFederation. “What will con-sumers will see as a result?That’s where it gets a littlemurkier.”
One major factor thatcomplicates the equation isthe amount that supermar-kets decide to mark up thefoods they sell to shoppers.Since supermarkets arefacing stiffer competitionfrom big-box retailers anddrug stores, they’re beingmuch more judicious abouthow much of their risingcosts they pass on to cus-tomers.
Nevertheless, theAgriculture Departmentsaid last week that itexpects grocery prices torise between 3 percent and4 percent next year, whichis slightly higher than nor-mal.
Here’s a look at how dif-ferent foods will be impact-ed:
MEAT & DAIRYIn addition to paying
more to feed their cows,farmers are dealing withgrazing pastures that havebeen baked dry. The combi-nation is resulting in farm-ers selling off the animalsthey can’t afford to feed inrecent weeks, particularlysince cattle supplies arealready limited and beefprices have been climbingsteadily in recent years.
Beef from those animalsstreaming into auctionyards is expected to startshowing up in grocerystores in November andDecember, temporarilydriving down meat prices.
“The irony is that wecould start seeing someprice reductions in theshort run,” says BruceJones, a professor of agri-cultural economics at theUniversity of Wisconsin.
By early next year, how-ever, prices are expected tospike as a result of thesmaller livestock herds anddwindling meat supplies.
Next year, the USDAsays beef prices are expect-ed to jump 4 percent to 5
percent, making it amongthe biggest price hikes forfood. Dairy product pricesare expected to climb 3.5percent to 4.5 percent, poul-try and egg prices up by 3percent to 4 percent, andpork prices up by 2.5 per-cent to 3.5 percent.
FRUITS & VEGETA-BLES
So why isn’t anyonetalking about a shortage offruits and vegetables inlight of the drought? Unlikethe corn that’s grown tomake animal feed and oil,produce sold in supermar-kets is typically irrigatedby farms and not as affect-ed when there’s a lack ofrain.
In addition, supermar-kets import many of theirfruits and vegetables fromother countries such as, bellpeppers from Holland sothat they can keep suppliesand prices in check even ifone source isn’t producing alarge amount.
Fruits and vegetablesare also a loss leader forsupermarkets. That meansthey’re often sold at a lossin hopes of attracting shop-pers who will spend onother items, says LisaSchacht, president of the
Ohio Produce Growers andMarketers Association.
Overall, the USDA proj-ects an overall 2 percent to3 percent price increase forfruits and vegetables nextyear. That’s in line with thisyear’s increase.
PACKAGED FOODSAnother worry is that
the price of many packagedfoods that contain corn orcorn ingredients will climb.High-fructose corn syrup,for example, is used in awide variety of foods suchas cookies, yogurt, cerealsand spaghetti sauces. A canof regular soda contains 40grams of the sweetener.
The corn ingredientsthat are used in packagedfoods mostly aren’t irrigat-ed either, meaning they’realso vulnerable to thevagaries of weather and theprice fluctuations.
But keep in mind thatsuch ingredients are often atiny fraction of the coststhat go into packaged foods.Among the many expensesfood makers such asKellogg Co. and KraftFoods Inc. also have to foot:packaging material, labor,advertising and fuel fortrucks to get their productsin stores.

rom sports stars to astronauts,the city of Troy has a long his-tory of honoring its nativesons and daughters, particu-larly in time of heroism orvalor.
Army Private First Class Jeffrey Ricewas no exception.
The city of Troy wrapped its armsaround Rice this past week. On July 19,Pfc. Rice — a 2007 Troy High School andUpper Valley Career Center graduate —lost his life while serving in Kandahar,Afghanistan, as part of Operation EnduringFreedom. What followed in Troy was anuplifting display of patriotism and compas-sion.
“Jeff was a great young man,” TroyMayor Michael Beamish said before hisfuneral services, which took place lastweekend. “The city will be flying its flags athalf-staff through the duration of his cere-monies. We really want the people of Troyto come out and show support for a heroicyoung man.”
Pfc. Rice’s family remembers him as asoft-spoken young man who always put hisfamily first.
“He would always wear that little ninjacostume with a wooden spoon tucked inhis belt because I didn’t like guns,” hismother, Sandy Wheelock said of her son asa little boy. “He would play outside andwhen he would come in, he would tell me,‘I checked everything out, Mom.Everything is OK.’ He was always worriedabout protecting me. His whole life, that’show he was — he was always worriedabout protecting his mom and his sisters.”
Former Troy football coach Steve Nolanrecalled Rice as a promising football play-er who gave it all up to help take care ofhis father after he suffered a stroke andhis health declined.
“He was a great kid who had all kindsof potential,” Nolan said. “He was a veryhard-working kid and he didn’t mindbeing physical. There was no doubt goinginto his junior year that he was going tobe someone we were going to count on.”
All told, the family truly was touched bythe outpouring of support from the commu-nity.
“It was incredible,” said Pfc. Rice’s aunt,Cathy Pencil. “We’ve been touched.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Many cats are tail talkers.If those tails start to twitchand wag, watch out forfangs and claws, warns catbehaviorist JacksonGalaxy.If you try to pet a cat
when its tail is waggingand get bitten, “You had itcoming,” says Galaxy, whohelps solve behavior prob-lems, both human andfeline, on his AnimalPlanet TV show, “My CatFrom Hell.”When a cat’s angry
enough to wag its tail orthe fur on its back standsup, its ears flatten and eyesdilate, the owner needs tofigure out what’s wrong, hesays.Galaxy figures cats and
owners equally share theblame for relationshipsgone wrong, but when itcomes to changing behav-ior, cats are the easier stu-dents by a wide margin.His house call kit is a
guitar case loaded with cattoys and treats. But there’sno magic wand in the box,he says. It takes time andhard work. “You get whatyou give.”Galaxy, 46, has an usual
job and he’s an unusualguy. He’s 6-foot-5, bald,wears specs and ear hoops,sports a long goatee,prefers bowling shirts and
sneakers, has tattoo“sleeves” and has startedtats on his legs so that he’llone day have a “full suit.”He plays the guitar, has
a degree in acting and hasbeen addicted to drugs,
alcohol and food. He’s alsowritten an autobiography,“Cat Daddy.”Galaxy was working at
an animal shelter inColorado more than 15years ago when a manwalked in with a cat in acardboard box. The cat,named Benny, had been hitby a car and was “unbond-able,” the man said. Bennyand Galaxy spent the next13 years bonding anddeveloping what Galaxycalls “cat mojo.”He had a practice with a
holistic vet before movingto Los Angeles in 2007 andopening a private consult-ing firm. He was at a pet
adoption fair when he metthe friend of a friend whointroduced him to realityTV producer AdamGreener (“ExtremeMakeover: Weight LossEdition”). “My Cat FromHell” began airing inspring 2011. In eachepisode, viewers witnessowners struggling to finddomestic harmony withtheir cats.Emilie Bandy and Mike
Petriello are fans ofGalaxy’s show. For sevenmonths, they tried to turntheir New York City apart-ment into a peaceful placefor their cats, Olive andPepper, but Olive attacked
Pepper every chance shegot. They went to the vet,gave Olive doses of Prozac,searched for answersonline and in bookstores,slept in separate rooms sothey could each care for onecat, and put planning fortheir September weddingon hold.“We were genuinely
afraid for the cats’ lives ifwe left them together,”Bandy said.When they learned
Galaxy was filming seasonthree of “My Cat FromHell” in Manhattan, theymade a video and submit-ted it. Their problem withOlive and Pepper becamethe summer’s first episode.In it, Galaxy:Gives Olive a food dish
with a middle bump so shehas to eat around it, ensur-ing that Pepper finishesand leaves first.Shows the couple how to
build trees and platformswhere Pepper can escape ifOlive starts to attack.“Build a vertical world,”Galaxy says.Tells them to stop run-
ning every time Olivewhines, scratches orthrows a temper tantrum.“Don’t positively reinforcebad behavior,” he says.It’s been three months
since the last catfight.Bandy and Petriello areback in the same bedroom,wedding planning is againin full swing, and the cou-ple spends hours each dayplaying with both cats inthe same room.The cats may never be
fast friends, but they arecoexisting and Pepper’sconfidence is growing.Karen “Doc” Halligan of
Los Angeles calls Galaxy“fabulous,” but acknowl-edges that he’s playing to atough crowd.“People do not under-
stand the need to train catsand that they need social-ization just as much asdogs. Since they have notbeen domesticated thatlong, people just think theyare independent and don’tneed it,” says the veterinar-ian, author, TV consultantand director of veterinaryservices for the Society forthe Prevention of Crueltyto Animals, Los Angeles.Besides the show and
his consulting work,Galaxy sells his own line ofessence oils and is a boardmember for Stray CatAlliance and FixNation inLos Angeles andNeighborhood Cats in NewYork.Early on, there were a
handful of cases thatstumped him, but Galaxybelieved then that psy-chotropic drugs were inap-propriate for pets. He’schanged his mind.“Why not use holistic,
homeopathic measures?Why not use empathicmeasures? Why not usetraditional Western meas-ures? Why not useacupuncture and Prozac onthe same cat?” he asked.Cats have an attention
span of about 3 seconds, soGalaxy believes punish-ment is pointless. “Count to10, clean up, forgive andmove on,” he says. Air in amotion-detecting can isgreat for disciplining catsthe instant they misbe-have, he says.

With robes that gleam withsunny sheen Sweet August dothappear.
— R. Combe Miller
When August rolls around,summer seems to slow, as if werea bit tired from all those weekssince spring which had to bedevoted to turning the landscapegreen and the extended duty nec-essary afterward to keep thingsgrowing. Now it’s a season need-ing rest, or at least one taking abreak.Whatever the case, there’s def-
initely a enervated, lackadaisicalair. “A languid atmosphere, a lazybreeze,” noted poet JamesWhitcomb Riley in a verse fromSummer Afternoon.Cicadas still ratchety-screech
from the trees, though not so loudor stridently as before. Robinskeep singing in the sultry dawns,but with abbreviated versions oftheir swinging songs. And while afew bullfrogs continue to har-rump into the moonlit night,their chorus has thinned and theold bellowing bog-pumper audi-bly lacks the fecund inspirationof his mid-May’s performance.A stream fisherman can try
wading favorite creeks and
rivers at dawn or dusk for small-mouth, but he’ll not likely havemuch luck during brighter day-light hours. Night fishing is aviable option, yet seldom prac-ticed by even the most enthusi-astic bronzeback devotees. Farmponds and strip pits can some-times prove excellent for large-mouths and jumbo sunfish, evenat high noon. And the more iso-lated and unfished the place, thebetter!Lakes can yield action, too, if
you like to work deep. Bass,bluegill and crappie are all pos-sible. Or you can fish those littleshoreline pockets that remain indeep shade all day.But for me, August means
catfish. There’s truly not much
I’d rather do after a swelteringday than escape to a favoritelake or river and spend a fewrefreshingly cooler hours listen-ing to the katydids, crickets,frogs and owls converse whiletightlining for channels and flat-heads. Regardless of whetheryou fill your stringer or onlymanage a few to fillet for break-fast, every outing is an adven-ture — plus there’s always thatoccasional monster cat you latchonto which kicks in the adrena-line and stands the hair up onthe nape of your neck themoment you feel its suddenweight and power.While June might be colored
in verdant green, and July withthe blue of a summer sky,August is dressed like royalty inpurple and gold — though theyellows decidedly predominate.Sunflowers, mullein, eveningprimrose, downy false-foxglove,prairie dock, cup-plant, rosin-weed, ox-eye, various coneflow-ers, Jerusalem artichoke, coreop-sis, wingstem, black-eyedSusans, and of course, seas ofgoldenrods.The true purples are pretty
much limited to the lobelias,New England aster, and my
beloved ironweed — although ifyou’ll concede to allowing a bitof blue and magenta, I’ll addJoe-Pye weed, bellflower, blaz-ing-star, chicory, teasel and this-tles, plus the lovely gentians. Wealso might toss in ripeningbluestem — that tall prairiegrass which novelist WillaCather aptly described as beingthe color of wine stains…claret,I presume.August’s arrival may signal
summer winding down, but forme it delivers the first taste ofsome of the most delicious food Iknow — including half-runnerbeans, fresh-picked sweet corn,sugary cantaloupe melons, andhomegrown tomatoes. Justthinking about such flavorfulgarden-fresh delights makes mymouth water!Wild fare is ready for the tak-
ing, too. An industrious foragercan now find free eats aplenty, orfor jelly and jam making, in theform of black-haws and mayapples, wild cherries, elderber-ries, choke cherries, and if you’relucky, early pawpaws and foxgrapes. You could also stumbleupon a tree with early-ripeningwild apples.Walnuts, hickory nuts, butter-
nuts and beechnuts can be gath-ered. And meadow mushrooms,oyster mushrooms, and thetoothsome chanterelle are all outthere for the finding.Sweet August is nothing if
not generous with her favors.Yet, to me, August always
seems to arrive towing a hint ofthe bittersweet. Maybe becauseall those previous weeks of heatand drought have left theirindelible mark — wilted, dryleaves, grass and meadows turn-ing a bit brown, all greenerylooking shopworn and limp.Or maybe the notion is more
with me and my perspectivethan any real fault of this eighthmonth. For no matter what thecalendars and almanacs say, Ilook upon August as the last ofsummer — the season’s finalhurrah.While summer is admittedly
my least favorite of the four sea-sons…still, I somehow hate tosee it end. A paradox I can’texplain — though possiblybecause any seasonal endingrepresents time’s all-too-swiftpassage.“Summer’s lease,” wrote
Shakespeare, “hath all too shorta date.”

Jackson Galaxy understands cats’ behavior
BY MELISSA RAYWORTHAssociated Press
Tracy Hutson wanders througha graveyard of ovens that haven’troasted a turkey or baked a hamsince decades before she was born.Picking through their discardedparts, she muses: “The rust on thisis just so gorgeous.”
Her “Picker Sisters” partner,TanyaMcQueen, agrees yet anoth-er item to bargain for, purchaseand turn into a high-end piece offurniture on their Lifetime net-work TV series.
You’ll find a similar pair ofwomen, the “Junk Gypsies,” doingmuch the same thing over atHGTV.And these two pairs are notalone.
The list of television showsabout hunting for elusive treasureamid mountains of discarded stuffkeeps growing like a suburbanlandfill. At least three new entriesare premiering this summer,adding to the already double-digitroster of shows about “pickers” andpawn shop owners and people whobid for the contents of storage con-tainers.
Why, especially when we’re sooverloaded with our own clutterand junk, are we so fascinatedwith the search through other peo-ple’s castoffs?
Jordan Hembrough, host of“Toy Hunter,” which premieresAug. 15 on the Travel Channel,believes people love junk-huntingshows because they reconnect uswith a time we like to rememberas simpler and happier.
We recognize items instantly,from toys to household goods toadvertising signage. Previous gen-erations of Americans kept thingslonger, and there was less tochoose from when you did buynew: Many of us had the sameCorningWare coffee pot, the sameFisher-Price toys as our neighbors.
Items designed in the 1950sand 1960s “are from a period thatconsciously looked to the future,”says Allen Topolski, associate pro-fessor of art at the University ofRochester. It was a time of opti-mism, and although “we never gotthe jet packs we were promised,”we enjoy revisiting that feeling asjunk-hunting TV hosts comeacross this stuff, he says.
This experience won’t be thesame for future generationsbecause we replace things so fre-quently today. Young people arealso less likely to have the exactsame items as their peers. “Morechoices means less shared history,”says John Baick, associate profes-sor of history at Western NewEnglandUniversity, in Springfield,Mass.
So why do even viewers in theirteens and 20s watch these shows?
T.J. Heckman has “been intojunk,” for nearly all of his 26 years.He, his father and his uncle “usedto go out all the time just pickingup stuff. I remember when I was 6years old bringing home a kitchentable on my bicycle.”
In his work as a delivery truckdriver in the Pittsburgh area, he’sconstantly scouting roadsides foranything potentially fun or useful.He loves bringing things home,and loves watching these showsfor the excitement of scoring some-thing awesome at little or no cost.
“The stuff today being made isgarbage compared to the stuffback then,” Heckman says. “They
took their time and put effort intomaking it.”
Craig Dalen, who coordinatessustainability programs atMessiah College in Grantham,Pa.,sees this as a strong explanationfor the popularity of these shows.“Many goods now are designed tobreak down and need to bereplaced, and our desires aresocially engineered to want more,better, the latest.I think some arerediscovering the value in thesegoods because of the craftsman-ship and the materials.”
Heckman says he is happywhen a TV host can find andrepurpose an old table or chairrevealing its enduring value andreturning it to daily life.
Television, of course, reliablydelivers those satisfying moments.Through editing, these shows offer“very clever storytelling,” Baicksays. Something well-made andworthwhile is always uncovered.“Like the hunt for the Holy Grail,in all the accounts it ends up beinga humble cup of tremendousvalue,” he says. For viewers inhomes filled with everyday items,“this is kind of magical, that youcan turn lead into gold” if you havea discerning-enough eye.
Two shows that premiered lastmonth PBS’ “Market Warriors”(from the producers of “AntiquesRoadshow”) and the “AmericanPickers” spin-off “Picked Off” raisethe bar by merging the junk-hunt-ing genre with competition.“Picked Off” has a $10,000 grandprize, while the “Market Warriors”winner only earns “bragging rightsfor eclipsing his peers,” accordingto the show’s website.
For the “Picker Sisters” and“Junk Gypsies,” it’s all about whatthese found goodies can become.These shows, along with sites likePinterest, offer fresh and some-times outrageous ideas for afford-able do-it-yourself projects.

Besides a grocery storesale cycle, are there times ofthe year when certain itemsare on sale?
Absolutely! Grocerystores are smart.They knowthat there are certain timesof the year when shoppersare keying in on specificgoods and they want to grabas much of your business asthey possibly can.
So why not offer a greatprice on something theyalready know you’ll be look-ing for? When you thinkabout it, it’s a fantastic idea.Cookout supplies aroundthe Fourth of July, bakingstaples during the winterholidays and even candy onHalloween.
It’s all about anticipa-tion. In this case, the antici-pation of shopping habits.The store knows from expe-rience, and shopping trends,when different items willpeak throughout the year.By matching their bestprices to times of peakdemand they stand a better
chance of bringing shoppersthrough the door and earn-ing their business.
This is a cycle you canwork to your advantage. Bystaying on top of what itemstend to go on sale duringcertain times of the year,you can stock up and saveyour family impressiveamounts of money.
Right now try focusingon those key items you’llsoon be tossing into lunch-boxes day after day. Thingslike pudding cups, fruitsnacks and Lunchables canbe expensive, so buy whenthe time is right and havethem ready and waitingwhen you need them most.Also, keep track of itemsthat can be frozen.
Another thing to keeptrack of is produce. Fruitsand vegetables are at theirpeak at different times ofthe year. If you can buywhen the market is flooded,and then either can orfreeze your produce, youhave the chance to savemoney while still offeringhealthy options for yourfamily.

PORT ST. JOE, Fla.(AP) — It is scallop seasonalong this tranquil stretchof Florida known as “TheForgotten Coast.”
From July to lateSeptember, the tasty shell-food delicacy lures touriststo this lesser-known partof Florida that lacks theamusement parks, nightclubs and world-famousbeaches found in otherparts of the state. Thisregion, which stretcheseast from the Panhandle’sPanama City along theGulf coast line as it curvessouth along the state’s BigBend, is known for itsshallow and wide baysthat give shelter to scal-lops, oysters and otherfragile sea life.
“Scallops need cleanwater they don’t do well ifthere are any pollutionissues,” said StanKirkland, regionalspokesman for the FloridaFish and WildlifeConservation Commission.“What you notice in thispart of the state is thatthere aren’t the condo-miniums and other devel-opments that might causewater-quality issues.”
The scallops can befound nestled in turtlegrass in about 2 to 4 feet ofwater, which makes it easyto wade into the water andcollect them. But longtimescalloper Ronald Pickettprefers to take his boat outinto deeper water, about10-12 feet, and find scal-lops while snorkeling.
The best way to eatthem is raw and fresh from
the bay, he said.“It is really sweet, it’s
unbelievable,” Pickett saidas he gulped down amouthful of scallop on arecent afternoon. “If you’venever eaten one of these,you’ve never eaten a reallysweet scallop. These scal-lops have so much flavor tothem, it is unbelievable.”
Florida banned commer-cial scallop harvesting inthe region in the 1990s toprevent their demise. Thethree-month season is forrecreational scallop har-vesters only and the statelimits each person to twogallons of whole scallopsper day. A state fishinglicense is required, withcosts varying based on res-idency and the length oflicense.
The season, which runsfrom July 1 to Sept. 24, is asummertime tourism boonfor sleepy Gulf County,said Jennifer Jenkins,executive director of theGulf County TouristDevelopment Counsel.
“We talk to people allthe time and they justlove this. Really and truly,it is like Easter egg hunt-ing in the water,” she said.
Local chef and restaura-teur Patti Blaylock saidmost people who eat at herSunset Costal Grill liketheir scallops sauted orfried. Blaylock’s favoritescallop dish is a ceviche.
The restaurant cannotoffer local scallop dishesbecause of the commercialharvesting ban, butBlaylock often preparesscallops for people who
bring them in by the buck-etful.
“Sometimes they don’tknow how to fix them orwhat to do with them, sowe will prepare somethingfor them and serve it here,”she said.
Scallops season providea big boost to the economyof the town and the region,she said.
“This is one of the onlyscalloping bays along thePanhandle. It is close to
Atlanta and all of southGeorge and southAlabama, even people fromNashville make plans tocome sometime betweenJuly and September,” shesaid. “They plan a weekand they will rent pontoonboats or go out on anorganized scalloping tripand they will buy diveflags and snorkel gear. Itjust keeps rolling. Thescallops here are reallyvital.”

Corinth replacingCivil War signs
CORINTH, Miss. —The city of Corinth willreplace dozens of 15-year-old signs that tell the localstory of the Civil War.
The Daily Corinthianreports that the 44 signswere installed in 1997 aspart of the original Siege& Battle of CorinthCommission’s driving tourof local Civil War sites.
Officials say theCorinth Tourism Officerecently completed a newdriving tour and the oldsigns were causing confu-sion.
The city began takingdown the signs this pastweek.
“Over the years, theTourism Office changedthe driving tour, but thesigns were neverchanged,” said ParkRanger Tom Parson. “It’svery confusing for peoplecoming from Shiloh whoare on the new drivingtour and they see the
small driving tour signs.”Parson said the driving
tour will go without signsfor the time being.
Much of the land con-taining historical sitescurrently owned by theSiege & Battle of CorinthCommission will soon betransferred to theNational Park Service.Once the transition iscomplete, the NationalPark Service will createand install new signs rep-resenting the currentdriving tour and the newsites added to NPS prop-erty.
Hotels sellart on walls
DALLAS — Hotel roomsare no longer just a place toshower, sleep or maybe
indulge in a breakfast inbed. They’re now also spotsto pick up souvenirs otherthan stolen towels.
For several years, hotelshave invited local artists into decorate hallways, lob-bies and other publicspaces. Now, they are tak-ing that partnership onestep further and turningbedrooms into mini-salesrooms.
The recently-openedOmni Dallas hotel featuresmore than 6,500 originalpieces of art from 150 localartists in guest rooms andpublic spaces. The art isone of the reasons the prop-erty doesn’t feel like everyother hotel stayed in onpast vacations. It also givesguests the option of takinga bit of Texas culture homewith them.

Colin Farrell replaces ArnoldSchwarzenegger in the new ver-sion of “Total Recall,” and thesmug sense of campy meannessthat made the original 1990 filmfeel so muscular and grotesquegives way to a vibe that’s slick,shiny and deadly serious.
Seriously, this movie has nosense of humor there are maybetwo jokes, both of which are call-backs to the first movie. Farrelldoesn’t get to utter any cornyone-liners as he rips off a badguy’s arms. And maybe this isgood, this attempt at reinvention.It certainly makes director LenWiseman’s film move more ener-getically and efficiently, at leastuntil the repetitive and overlongending: a barrage of anonymousautomatic gunfire and heavy-duty explosions.
Both films are super violentPaul Verhoeven’s came with anR-rating more than two decadesago because, well, he’s PaulVerhoeven but less seems to be atstake in this latest version.Farrell is certainly a better actorthan Schwarzenegger and he’scapable of far more emotionalcomplexity, but Schwarzeneggerwas better at conveying a senseof panic and fear, of discombobu-lation. You actually felt for himas he struggled to piece togetherhis past and tried to determinewhom he could trust. Farrell isconfident and competent regard-less of the situation; there neverseems to be any real threat ofhim coming out alive.
Like the original “TotalRecall,” Wiseman’s film is basedon the Philip K. Dick sci-fi shortstory “We Can Remember It forYou Wholesale,” a futuristicexploration of memory and iden-tity. It’s the end of the 21st centu-ry, and chemical warfare hasmade most of Earth uninhabit-able except for two regions: thebriskly antiseptic UnitedFederation of Britain and thegrimy, crowded Colony, formerlyknown as Australia. (This versionremains truer to Dick’s vision in
that no one travels to Mars.) Inone of the film’s coolest concepts,blue-collar workers travel eachday on The Fall, a massive eleva-tor that zooms through theEarth’s core from one place to theother in a matter of minutes.
The densely packed verticalurban sprawl of The Colony, amulticultural ghetto that’s kindaJapanese and kinda Russian andconstantly rainy, is the impres-sively detailed, vividly renderedwork of production designerPatrick Tatopoulos. It has an
imposing, dreary grandeur remi-niscent of “Blade Runner,” alsobased on Dick’s writing.
This is where Farrell’sDouglas Quaid lives with hisbeautiful wife, Lori (KateBeckinsale,Wiseman’s real-lifewife whom he directed in the firsttwo “Underworld” movies). Theyshare a dark, cramped apartmentand he works a menial factory jobhe hates. But dreams of dangerhaunt him, and eventuallyinspire him to visit Rekall, a labthat offers sort of mini-vacations
through implanted memories (acharismatic, silver-haired JohnCho runs the place as a crossbetween scientist and game showhost).
Things go wrong during theprocedure, as we know, andQuaid quickly finds himselfunder attack, on the run andaccused of being a totally differ-ent person. A freedom fighternamed Melina (Jessica Biel), alieutenant for the head of theunderground resistance withwhom he has some sort of roman-tic history, becomes his protectorand guide (and makes a spectacu-lar, breathless entrance in ahover car).
His life, as he’s known it, isnot real and that includes hismarriage. One vast improvementhere is that the women arestronger and fiercer than theywere in the original; RachelTicotin’s Melina was the prover-bial hooker with a heart of goldand Sharon Stone’s Lori was asweetly passive housewife. Here,when Biel and Beckinsale squareoff against each other, it’s with allthe skill and intensity of the men.Similarly, they don’t break a sin-gle bone as they scramble acrossrooftops and leap from one ridicu-lously perilous height afteranother.
“Total Recall,” a ColumbiaPictures release, is rated PG-13for intense sequences of sci-fi vio-lence and action, some sexualcontent, brief nudity and lan-guage. Running time: 116 min-utes. Two and a half stars out offour.
New ‘Total Recall’ slicker but soullessFILM REVIEW
AP PHOTO/COLUMBIA PICTURES - SONY, MICHAEL GIBSONThis film image released by Columbia Pictures shows Jessica Biel, right, and Colin Farrell in a scenefrom the action thriller “Total Recall.”
LOS ANGELES (AP)— There is the well-honedMarilyn Monroe screenpersona the breathy, girl-ish voice, the glamorouscurves and the flirty sexappeal and then there arethe films that allowed herto stretch, or at leastallowed her to try. Adevout Method actress,Monroe took her craft seri-ously, dug deep in searchof motivation and workedharder than her effortlessscreen presence wouldsuggest. For a while, thatis, until her demons tookover.
On the 50th anniver-sary of her death, here’s alook at five of her mostmemorable film perform-ances, the ones that standout over her prolific butsadly short career:
• “Some Like It Hot”(1959): This was the firsttitle that came to mindwhen I began ponderingthis list. Maybe becauseit’s the best film she wasever in the Billy Wilderclassic is listed as thegreatest comedy ever bythe American FilmInstitute but also, the roleof Sugar Kane Kowalczykis just so quintessentially“her.” Monroe is totallymagnetic, with innocenceand sexuality in equalmeasure. As the leadsinger of an all-girl orches-tra, she gets to sing, dance,play the ukulele and showoff her comic timing.Monroe finds a tricky bal-ance between her other-worldly looks and a down-to earth charm, and playsbeautifully off JackLemmon and Tony Curtis.
• “Gentlemen PreferBlondes” (1953):Describing her perform-ance as gold-diggingLorelei Lee as iconic wouldnot be hyperbole. Her ren-dition of “Diamonds Are aGirl’s Best Friend”remains so enduring, it
inspired Madonna’s“Material Girl” video, downto the blonde waves, candy-colored pink dress, admir-ing back-up dancers andtightly structured choreog-raphy. Monroe actuallygets second billing behindJane Russell in HowardHawks’ musical comedy,based on the Broadwayshow about a couple ofshowgirls and best friendswho travel to Paris, runinto misadventures andrevel in all the attentionthrown their way.
• “The Seven YearItch” (1955): Here’sMonroe again at the centerof one of film’s mostfamous images: standingover a New York City sub-way grate, letting the windfrom a passing train sendher ivory, pleated halterdress billowing all aroundher. (The dress itself soldat auction last year for awhopping $5.6 million,including commission.)But the whole perform-ance is a great example ofher screen presence in anutshell: naive, sweet,beguiling and irresistible.
She’s such an idealizedincarnation of classicfemale allure, she’s knownonly as The Girl. Workingfor the first time withWilder (who famously haddifficulty with her), basedon the George Axelrodplay, Monroe plays thesexy upstairs neighborwho bewitches TomEwell’s character while hisfamily is away for thesummer.
• “Bus Stop” (1956): Arare opportunity forMonroe to show some dra-matic ability. But really,everything she can do ison display here: JoshuaLogan’s film, based on theWilliam Inge play, offersthe full range of Monroe’sabilities. She stars asCherie that’s pronounced“Sher-EE,” not “Cherry ” alousy saloon singer toilingaway in Phoenix until shecan find a way to get toHollywood. Yes, herArkansas accent gratesand if we’re being honest,the way overzealous cow-boy Don Murray carriesher off and forces her intoan engagement would
merit a restraining ordernow. But Monroe also getssome quieter momentsthat reveal her vulnerabil-ity.
• “The Misfits”(1961): A poignant popculture time capsule: Thisis not just Monroe’s finalfilm but Clark Gable’s, too.Co-star Montgomery Cliftwould be dead a few yearslater. Monroe’s then-hus-band, playwright ArthurMiller, wrote the script forher to give her a meatierrole. But by all accounts,alcohol and pills made heran absolute mess and shewas frequently late toJohn Huston’s set. Giventhat her newly divorcedcharacter is drunk most ofthe time, along with thelost souls with whom sheseeks solace in the Nevadadesert, it’s hard to tellwhere the performanceends and real life begins.In an eerily ironic quotefrom Eli Wallach as he’stoasting Monroe’s charac-ter for her vitality, he says:“Here’s to your life,Roslyn. I hope it goes onforever.”

NEW YORK (AP) —Alfred Hitchcock hasfinally usurped OrsonWelles.
Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”took the top spot in the 10greatest-movies-ever listcompiled by Sight &Sound, ending the 50-yearrun for Welles’ “CitizenKane.” The magazine, pub-lished by the British FilmInstitute, surveys interna-tional film critics everydecade.
“Citizen Kane” slid tosecond, making way forHitchcock’s 1958 psycho-logical drama starringJames Stewart and KimNovak. “Vertigo” edged“Citizen Kane” by 34 votesin the poll, which gatheredlists from 846 critics, pro-grammers, academics anddistributors.
“Vertigo” has graduallyinched up the poll in
recent decades, asHitchcock’s thriller hassteadily grown in staturesince its initial mixedreception.
The list also includes anew addition: DzigaVertov’s “Man With aMovie Camera,” coming inat eighth place. It’s thefirst documentary to makethe list since it was found-ed in 1952.
Yasujiro Ozu’s “TokyoStory” ranked third, fol-lowed by Jean Renoir’s“The Rules of the Game”;F.W. Murnau’s “Sunrise”;Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: ASpace Odyssey”; and JohnFord’s “The Searchers.”Carl Dreyer’s “ThePassion of Joan of Arc”ranks ninth followed byFederico Fellini’s “8 1/2.”
All of the top 10 weremade more than 40 yearsago.

‘Killer Joe’ boasts starry cast and an NC-17 ratingLOS ANGELES (AP)
Matthew McConaughey isthe latest A-lister to go NC-17. He plays the title role in“Killer Joe,” which carriesthe Motion PictureAssociation of America’smaximum restrictionbecause of “graphic disturb-ing content.”
Directed by Oscar win-ner William Friedkin,“Killer Joe” is only the sec-ond NC-17 theatrical filmto be released in the U.S.this year, because no oneunder 18 can be admittedno matter who accompaniesthem and limited audiencesmean limited revenues.
Still, more and more ofHollywood’s top talent likeMcConaughey, Friedkin,and co-stars Emile Hirsch,Gina Gershon and ThomasHaden Church are embrac-ing edgy projects thatrequire the stiff rating.
Oscar-winning actressJuliette Binoche starred in
the NC-17-rated Frenchfilm “Elles,” released earlierthis year. “X-Men: FirstClass” and “InglouriousBasterds” star MichaelFassbender won raves forhis turn as a sex addict inlast year’s only theatricallyreleased NC-17-rated film,“Shame.”
“The NC-17 rating isabout to go mainstream,”said box-office analyst PaulDergarabedian of Holly-wood.com.
“Let’s wear it as a badgeand keep it shined!”McConaughey said of theNC-17 rating for “KillerJoe.”

BY LAURAIMPELLIZZERIAP Book Reviewer
“The Betrayal of theAmerican Dream”(PublicAffairs), byDonald L. Barlett andJames B. Steele: The high-ly decorated investigativeteam of Donald L. Barlettand James B. Steele returnin their eighth book to theircore topic, U.S. economicpolicy. But “The Betrayal ofthe American Dream” is norerun.The avuncular pair,
renowned for chillinglyaccurate, if uncomfortable,observations, have meticu-lously sharpened theiranalysis. Now, four decadesof mistaken tax and tradepolicy, declining public andprivate investment andwilling disregard of existinglaws have crippled manyAmerican industries andsent thousands upon thou-sands of U.S. jobs overseaswithout cause, they say.Given the power of theirpast groundbreaking workon health care, the economyand other political hot pota-toes that shape how allAmericans live, “Betrayal”merits a careful read fromanyone concerned about thenation’s economic future.Barlett and Steele argue
that Washington policymak-ers, Republican andDemocratic alike, have col-laborated with leaders onWall Street to create aneconomy that caters only tothe biggest multinationalcorporations and verywealthiest households, leav-ing most Americans andmost U.S businesses toscrap for limited leftovers.Much of their information,including many of theirmost damning quotes andassessments, comes directlyfrom government reports. Insome cases, short-term gainsought by bankers andinvestors is the clearestproblem. In others, simpleshortsightedness is toblame. And in most, better-reasoned and fairer tax andtrade policies and publicinvestment would have pre-vented lots of pain, accord-ing to Barlett and Steele.They dissect one indus-
try after another with theprecision and narrative flairthat have won them manyawards, including twoPulitzers. The most compre-hensive example of howpoliticians and big businessleaders have shaped recentdecades is in the multibil-lion-dollar rebuilding of theBay Bridge that connectsSan Francisco and Oakland,Calif. It was the largest U.S.public works project when itopened in 1936.The story opens with
Gov. Arnold Schwarz-enegger, a Republican,praising workers castingsteel for the bridge andthanking them on behalf ofCalifornia. The only prob-lem: the workers were inShanghai. The authors con-vincingly show why buyingmost of the new bridge’scomponents from Chinawasn’t necessary and ulti-mately saved Californianothing, though it mayhave cost hundreds ofAmericans their jobs. It did-n’t even get the projectdone fast; the new span isslated to reopen in 2013, 24years after the one itreplaces was damaged inan earthquake. Readerswill grasp exactly howpoignant it is the next timea 60- or 65-year-old trainee— someone who worked alifetime at a job that’s goneoverseas or been deemedobsolete — asks forpatience as he or she talliestheir groceries.The writers conclude
with a cogent plan for sub-stantial, specific changes torehabilitate the Americandream and rescue the mid-dle class.

BY MAE ANDERSONAssociated Press
Marilyn Monroe died 50years ago on Aug. 5, 1962,at age 36. Timed to theanniversary of her deathruled a probable suicidefrom acute barbiturate poi-soning are a host of booksthat celebrate and analyzethe screen icon.There have been numer-
ous books written aboutMonroe in the years sinceher death, and the newbatch doesn’t offer thatmuch revelatory new infor-mation about the film star.But some offer interestingnew takes on Monroe andillustrate how much hericonic image still captivatesand confounds.Here’s a look at some of
the latest books:• “Marilyn: The
Passion and theParadox” (BloomsburyUSA), by Lois Banner:Author Lois Banner, anacademic and gender histo-
rian, makes the case in thiscomprehensive biographythat Monroe was a proto-feminist, overcoming a diffi-cult childhood to create amovie star persona, takingcomplete control of her
media image and startingher own production compa-ny to fight against anunfair and sexistHollywood system. It’s aninteresting, methodicallyresearched take on the star,and it delves into areassuch as Marilyn’s stammerand her possible bisexualityat greater length thanother biographies.• “Marilyn Monroe:
The Final Years” (St.Martin’s Press), by KeithBadman: Author KeithBadman takes a meticu-lously detailed look at theyear and a half leading upto Marilyn’s death. Headopts a breezy authorita-tive tone, but the narrativesometimes gets boggeddown with unnecessarydetails, such as exactamounts on receipts, andBadman’s asides aboutwhat other biographershave gotten wrong.• “Marilyn in Fashion:
The Enduring Influenceof Marilyn Monroe
(Running Press, a mem-ber of the Perseus BooksGroup), by ChristopherNickens and GeorgeZeno: Putting the spotlighton the designers that deco-rated Marilyn’s famous fig-ure, “Marilyn in Fashion” isan intriguing look at theway Monroe controlled herself-image via fashion. Fullof full-color photos anddivided in sections bydesigners such as OlegCassini and Emilio Pucci,the book tells the rarelytold stories behind iconiclooks such as the whitedress she wore over thesubway grate in “The SevenYear Itch” and the sequinedgown she wore to sing“Happy Birthday” toPresident John Kennedy.• “Marilyn: Intimate
Exposures” (SterlingPublishing), by SusanBernard: Packed with pic-tures, outtakes and memo-rabilia from author SusanBernard’s father, photogra-pher Bruno Bernard,
“Marilyn: IntimateExposures” chroniclesBernard’s photos of Monroein the 1940s and 1950s asshe transforms from bubblypin-up girl Norma Jeane tothe glamorous movie starMarilyn, along with hismemories of the actress.• “Marilyn & Me: A
Photographer’sMemories” (Nan A.Talese/Doubleday), byLawrence Schiller:Another memoir by a pho-tographer, this slim volumerecounts several photoshoots by LawrenceSchiller, includingMarilyn’s last, whenMonroe filmed a nudescene in a pool for“Something’s Got to Give.”Monroe conceived the stuntto draw attention awayfrom Elizabeth Taylor, whowas filming “Cleopatra,”but Schiller used it as hisbig break, garnering exclu-sive rights to the photosand selling them to Lifemagazine to land the cover.

Focus on Marilyn Monroe, 50 years after her death
ATLANTA (AP) — It soundslike an unfolding epidemic: Adecade ago, virtually no one in theU.S. seemed to have a problemeating gluten in bread and otherfoods. Now, millions do.Gluten-free products are flying
off grocery shelves, and restau-rants are boasting of meals withno gluten. Celebrities on TV talkshows chat about the digestivediscomfort they blame on thewheat protein they now shun.Some churches even offer gluten-free Communion wafers.“I don’t know whether there’s
more people getting this or thatmore people are noticing” theyhave a problem, said the Rev.Richard Allen, pastor atMamaroneck United MethodistChurch, north of New York City.Or is it just another food fad?Faddishness is a big part of it.
Americans will spend an estimat-ed $7 billion this year on foodslabeled gluten-free, according tothe market research firm Mintel.But the best estimates are thatmore than half the consumersbuying these products perhapsway more than half don’t haveany clear-cut reaction to gluten.They buy gluten-free because
they think it will help them loseweight, or because they seem tofeel better, or because they mis-takenly believe they are sensitiveto gluten.“We have a lot of self-diagnos-
ing going on out there,” saidMelissa Abbott, who tracks thegluten-free market for theHartman Group, a Seattle-areamarket research organization.Fads aside, research suggests
more people are truly getting sickfrom the gluten found in wheat,rye and barley, but the reasonsaren’t clear.In the most serious cases,
gluten triggers celiac disease. Thecondition causes abdominal pain,bloating and intermittent diar-
rhea. Those with the ailmentdon’t absorb nutrients well andcan suffer weight loss, fatigue,rashes and other problems.It was once considered
extremely rare in the U.S. Butabout 20 years ago, a few scien-tists began exploring why celiacdisease was less common herethan in Europe and other coun-tries. They concluded that it was-n’t less common here; it was justunder-diagnosed.More recently, a research team
led by the Mayo Clinic’s Dr.Joseph Murray looked at bloodsamples taken from Americans inthe 1950s and compared themwith samples taken from peopletoday, and determined it wasn’tjust better diagnosis driving up
the numbers. Celiac disease actu-ally was increasing. Indeed, theresearch confirms estimates thatabout 1 percent of U.S. adultshave it today,making it four timesmore common now than it was 50years ago, Murray and his col-leagues reported Tuesday in theAmerican Journal ofGastroenterology.That translates to nearly 2
million Americans with celiac dis-ease.Celiac disease is different from
an allergy to wheat, which affectsa much smaller number of people,mostly children who outgrow it.Scientists suggest that there
may be more celiac disease todaybecause people eat moreprocessed wheat products like
pastas and baked goods than indecades past, and those items usetypes of wheat that have a highergluten content. Gluten helpsdough rise and gives baked goodsstructure and texture.Or it could be due to changes
made to wheat, Murray said.In the 1950s, scientists began
cross-breeding wheat to makehardier, shorter and better-grow-ing plants. It was the basis of theGreen Revolution that boostedwheat harvests worldwide.Norman Borlaug, the U.S. plantscientist behind many of the inno-vations, won the Nobel PeacePrize for his work.But the gluten in wheat may
have somehow become even moretroublesome for many people,
Murray said.That also may have con-
tributed to what is now called“gluten sensitivity.”Doctors recently developed a
definition for gluten sensitivity,but it’s an ambiguous one. It’s alabel for people who suffer bloat-ing and other celiac symptomsand seem to be helped by avoidinggluten, but don’t actually haveceliac disease. Celiac disease isdiagnosed with blood testing,genetic testing, or biopsies of thesmall intestine.The case for gluten sensitivity
was bolstered last year by a verysmall but often-cited Australianstudy. Volunteers who had symp-toms were put on a gluten-freediet or a regular diet for sixweeks, and they weren’t toldwhich one. Those who didn’t eatgluten had fewer problems withbloating, tiredness and irregularbowel movements.Clearly, “there are patients
who are gluten-sensitive,” said Dr.Sheila Crowe, a San Diego-basedphysician on the board of theAmerican GastroenterologicalAssociation.What is hotly debated is how
many people have the problem,she added. It’s impossible to know“because the definition is nebu-lous,” she said.One of the most widely cited
estimates comes from Dr. AlessioFasano, a University of Marylandresearcher who led studies thatchanged the understanding ofhow common celiac disease is inthe U.S.Fasano believes 6 percent of
U.S. adults have gluten sensitivi-ty. But that’s based on a review ofpatients at his clinic hardly a rep-resentative sample of the generalpublic.Other estimates vary widely,
he said. “There’s a tremendousamount of confusion out there,”Fasano said.

Scientists suggest that there may be more celiac disease today because peo-ple eat more processed wheat products than in decades past, which use types of wheat that have ahigher gluten content. Or it could be due to changes made to wheat, said the Mayo Clinic's Dr.Joseph Murray. In the 1950s, scientists began cross-breeding wheat to make hardier, shorter andbetter-growing plants.
Is the problem gluten? Or faddish eating?

Thirty-year rate risesfrom record low
WASHINGTON (AP) — The average U.S.rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage rose thisweek after falling to new record lows in each ofthe past four weeks.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursdaythat the rate on the 30-year loan jumped to 3.55percent. That’s up from 3.49 percent last week,which was the lowest since long-term mort-gages began in the 1950s.
The average rate on the 15-year fixed mort-gage, a popular refinancing option, increased to2.83 percent. That’s above last week’s recordlow of 2.80 percent.
Cheaper mortgage rates have helped drive amodest but uneven housing recovery this year.Sales of new and previously occupied homesfell in June from May but were higher than thesame month last year. Home prices have startedto rise in a majority of cities.
Builders are also more confident after seeingmore demand for homes. In June, theyincreased their spending for a third straightmonth.
Low mortgage rates could also provide somehelp to the economy if more people refinance.When people refinance at lower rates, they payless interest on their loans and have moremoney to spend. Many homeowners use thesavings on renovations, furniture, appliancesand other improvements, which help drivegrowth.
Still, the pace of home sales remains wellbelow healthy levels. Many people are still hav-ing difficulty qualifying for home loans or can’tafford larger down payments required by banks.

It has long been thought that ifyou buy in the right location, thevalue of your home will increasemore during good markets and fallless during down markets than itwould if you bought in a less covet-ed area. But choosing a desirablelocation in which to buy doesn’tguarantee the value of your homewill never fall. In a severe down-turn, all markets are affected.
In today’s market, we’re seeingthe location factor exaggerated toextremes in some areas. Areaswith good employment and notenough housing to supply thedemand are experiencing rapidappreciation. Buying in one ofthese areas may mean paying sig-nificantly over the list price. Thisis where you need to considerother factors that should influencea purchase decision.
Most buyers should buy a homein such competitive markets onlyif they plan to stay in the homeindefinitely. This means you havejob security, you’re sure you won’tbe asked to take a job transferelsewhere and the home will suityour long-term needs.
In a volatile market, like whatwe’re experiencing now, you couldpay a high price that is supportedby the sale prices of similar homesin the area at that point in time.But when the market cools off,which it’s likely to do, the market
value of your home could slip. Aslong as you don’t have to sell, youshouldn’t be hurt financially,unless you’re planning to refinanceyour mortgage.
You might not feel good about adecline in value, but as long as youcan stay put and the home worksfor you, enjoy your home and lookat the big picture. Home prices goup and down over time. Don’t buyif you think there’s a chance you’llneed to sell within the next 10years.
HOUSE HUNTING TIP:Condition and affordability areintertwined and should be careful-ly considered before making ahome purchase. Most buyers wantto buy a home they can move rightinto without having to do a lot ofwork. There’s a premium to bepaid for a home like this, andthere may be competition fromother like-minded buyers.
Buyers who can afford to buyoften don’t have time to fix up ahouse in order to put it into topcondition. Others, particularly

Baby nurseries and children’s roomsare coming of age, and a growing num-ber of tots are starting life in spacesthat are so stylish, I would trade bed-rooms with them in a New York minute.
We just finished helping my cousinKathy’s daughter, Kate, with her babynursery, and Kate says she tells peoplethat her newborn, Evelyn, has a betterbedroom than she does. That’s becausethe nursery is filled with fabrics andfinishes that are chic and stylish, time-less enough to grow with her so she cankeep the same room for years.
Kate’s journey to find a room thatwas just right for her baby started whenshe looked at decorating magazines —and seeing what grabbed her and whatdidn’t.
When I work with customers whoaren’t sure what they want in a room,that’s exactly what I recommend: Gothrough home-decor magazines andbooks and put a sticky note on therooms that wow you. Then review therooms you’ve marked. What do theyhave in common? Maybe it’s a colorscheme or a furniture style. Use that asyour guide when designing your room.
That’s how Kate happened upon afabric that would serve as the inspira-tion for her nursery. Her fabric wovetogether lilac, blue, light gray and applegreen, a great mix that served as thepalette for the entire room. She paintedthe walls of the nursery light gray, thenhad curtain panels made out of herinspiration fabric, banding them withan apple-green flange. The baby’s bed-ding pulled out the lilac, and an arearug, the apple green.
The crib or bed is often the star ofthe show in a nursery or child’s room.Now the sky is the limit when it comesto selecting fabrics for youth bedding
ensembles. We’re designing bed skirts,bumpers, quilts and pillows out of awonderful assortment of fabrics thatspans the spectrum from soft florals tomenswear plaids, trendy geometricprints to texture-upon-texture solids.My favorite approach for any bedding isto mix together an assortment of fabricsbringing in different colors, patternsand textures. The same principle holdstrue for bedding in a child’s room.
Right now a lot of new moms arebypassing made-for-the-nursery furni-ture and, instead, using timeless piecesthey will be able to keep in their child’sroom for years.
To add a personal touch to her nurs-ery, Kate took an old dresser that washer changing table when she was a babyand gave it new life with a coat of lilac

If it’s time for a bedroomredo, let’s consider the options.Since the bedroom is where yougo to relax and rejuvenate, itshould reflect that. With theeconomy in the horrible state itis, we are always looking forthe best way to accomplish ourgoals with the least amount ofcost.
If you’ve been reading mycolumns for a while, you will
probably figure the first thing Iam going to recommend —paint. Yes, repainting the roomwill not cost much, but will domuch to change the look of theroom and make it fresh andinviting. If you love the color ofyour room, you can paint it thesame color and still get a freshlook. Or you can choose anentirely new color and get anentirely new look.
You can add character toyour bedroom with art. Findart that “speaks” to you so youhave something interesting to
look at every time you are inthe bedroom. There is much tobe said for artwork that reach-es your senses in a special way.It doesn’t have to be expensive;simply find art that works wellfor you.
Wall decals might even bethe art that is perfect for you.Take your time looking for theright thing because there is norush.

If you need a respitefrom your busy life,consider transformingyour bathroom into apersonal refuge. Follow
this simple path to cre-ate an authentic, Zen-inspired design.
When creating aZen bathroom, the floorplan should flow effort-lessly, blending fromone area to the next.
Simple design is a dif-ficult thing to do well,and Zen relies a lot onarchitecture ratherthan decorative ele-ments. So if you’rebuilding or renovating,consider hiring anarchitect or interiordesigner to manage theproject. They can drawup floor plans, offersuggestions for materi-als and work directlywith contractors toensure that youachieve the look youwant.
You may even want
to work with a fengshui consultant. Fengshui is the Chinese artof placement thatfocuses on creating apositive flow of energyin the house. Whetheryou choose to hire aconsultant or go italone, here are sometips from designersand architects on howto think about space.
You should placethe bathtub by a win-dow so you can experi-ence nature whilesoaking. The bathroomshould interact with
adjacent rooms so thatthe view looking inand out of the bath-room is appealing andserene.
The toilet areashould not be seenfrom the doorway.Consider placing abeautiful piece of art-work within viewingdistance of the toilet;let that art be the focalpoint from the door-way.
“You want to feelthe adjacent spaceeven though you maynot always see it,” saysarchitect MichaelMorris of Morris SatoStudio in New YorkCity. “There should besomething presentbeyond the wall orscreen, a borrowedlandscape from anoth-er room that suggestsa deeper space or sur-face.”
While sections maybe distinct, the bath-room should not feeldivided. You want to beable to easily transi-tion from one space toanother.

not have a television in thebedroom because you will betempted to watch TV until thelate hours, and lose much-needed sleep. Others say it isall right, because TV is relax-ing to some, and even putsmany people to sleep. Thatworks if you have a timer onthe TV that will turn it off
automatically after a certainamount of time, because TVnoise disrupts sleeping pat-terns so you really won’t relaxand rejuvenate as you should.
It’s important to organizeyour bedroom so that every-thing has a place, and every-thing can be put in its place. Ifyour bedroom isn’t organized,it will tend to collect clutter.Invest in storage of some sort
even if it is under-bed storage.Keep the nightstands clear.Find places to put all the clut-ter that might currently be ontop of the nightstands or ontop of the dresser.
Plants are always a wel-come sight in the bedroom —if you remember to tend tothem and water them. Theyclean the air a bit, too, so theyare a healthy thing for the
room. Changing the bed-spread to something freshand new is a final way toupgrade the look of the room.You will always find a salesomewhere for new bed-spreads.

first-time buyers, may nothave the expertise to tacklea home that needs work.This is where affordabilitycomes into play.
Is a $425,000 fixer-upperreally a good deal if it costsyou $200,000 to update thekitchen, baths and curedeferred maintenance? Itmight be less expensive, andcertainly less of a hassle, topay $600,000 for a home that
has already had the workdone.
A caveat about buying afixer is that it’s often difficultto determine upfront exactlyhow much it will cost to put itinto the kind of condition youwant. For example, you maynot know the condition of thewiring or whether there is anold brick flue that needs to beremoved until the walls areopened up. A seller is unlikelyto allow this sort of invasiveinspecting before the home is
yours.Another factor to consider
is the floor plan. Spend sometime at a home you’re think-ing of buying and see if youcan imagine yourself livingthere. Don’t be fooled by agood staging job. Some floorplans provide for easier livingthan others. Before buying ahome with an odd floor plan,consult with an architect whocan tell you whether the floorplan can be improved at acost you can afford.
THE CLOSING: Do yourdue diligence carefully beforeyou buy. Selling soon afterbuying could cost you.

In a GPS world, physical mapsare becoming quaint relics fortravelers. But decor with a maptheme is hot.
There’s art in cartography:Street grids, the curve of a shore-line and topographic details lendthemselves to wall art, rugs andtextiles. Besides being great visu-als, maps often chart our personalexperiences, and that sentimentalpunch adds to their appeal.
Tony and Katie Rodono ofAtlanta started their City Printsmap art store after their daughterwas born. “We realized maps aregreat storytellers of where wemet, went to school, went on vaca-tion,” says Rodono.
They sell readymade and cus-tom maps of campuses, ballparksand hometowns. They’ll make oneof your favorite holiday spot orhiking trail. Coming soon: mapsfrom video games, movies and TVs h o w s .(www.cityprintsmapart.com, $40and up)

Pittsburgh, Atlanta, SanDiego and Portland are part of thecollection she sells atwww.etsy.com/shop/albiedesigns($20-40). Sly’s whimsical illustra-tions are composites of elementsshe likes about a place.
“I pay special attention to acity’s architecture, and how it con-tributes to its individuality,” shesays. “But I’m really looking for amore playful interpretation thatpeople can identify with becauseof their love for their city.”
As many of the designers sug-gest, these pieces would make ter-rific gifts. A new marriage; a newbaby; a new home. A way toremember that great trip youtook.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
BY LYNN UNDERWOODMinneapolis Star Tribune
More than 100 yearsago, boys slept in little logcabins at a summer campon Lake Minnetonka’sSunset Point inDeephaven, Minn.
When Patricia Newtonbought the nearly 4-acresite in 1990, the camp waslong gone, but there werestill a few remnants fromits history: a wooden signwith the name “CampMini-waste” and cast-ironlampposts. But the moststriking time capsule wasan original split-log cabinat the property’s entrance.
The little cabin had adirt floor, and was smellyand decaying. But Newtonthought it had potential.“It was just asking to besomething more than itwas,” she said.
She drove past the littlecabin every day to get toand from her home, a1920s English Tudor, alsoon her acreage. In 2009,she decided it was time torenovate the cabin andturn it into a personalretreat and guesthouse.
An avid collector of oldstone, wood and ironobjects, Newton had tonsof Platteville limestone,salvaged over the years.That stone inspired hervision for the cabin.
“I could see it as a stonecottage that would mirrorthe main house,” she said.“It just evolved after that.”
Residential designerJeff Murphy of Murphy &Co. Design in Buffalo,Minn., masterminded thatevolution, which beganwith a plan focused onmeeting city zoningrequirements. If he andNewton wanted the reno-vated structure on thesame site near a pond, hisdesign had to retain theexisting L-shaped foot-print, roofline and exteriorwall locations.
Murphy’s solution wasto “build it from the insideout” and carve out a newlimestone cottage withinthe old log cabin. But theultimate goal was to makeit look like a charmingEuropean-style stone cot-tage that would appear tohave been on the propertyfor more than a century.
“We used Old Worldartisan construction withhandcrafted methods,”said Murphy. The cottageboasts intricate stoneworkand is supported bychunky pine posts and oakbeams salvaged from mid-1800s barns. The slateshingles on the roof arefrom an 1800s barn inPennsylvania. Murphyadded a copper ridge capwith ball finials and pati-na copper gutters.
“The post-and-beamconstruction was modeledafter techniques used 100years ago when timberframers used wooden pegsinstead of nails,” saidMurphy, who pagedthrough books on smallEnglish countryside cot-tages from centuries ago.“I looked for stoneworkdetails, window proportionand authentic elements toachieve the final look.”
That attention to perioddetail extends inside.First, Murphy knocked
down interior walls andvaulted the ceiling tomake the 860-square-foot,
one-bedroom house feelmore open and airy. Hecalls the main living space
the “great hall,” and put ina floor fashioned of woodsalvaged from another1880s barn. Murphy alsocustom-fit the living-roomwall to hold a new mason-ry fireplace and Newton’sFrench antique iron phar-macy racks.
The kitchen is the onlycontemporary space thatmelds elements of yester-day and today by combin-ing wormy chestnut cabi-nets and a vintage butch-er-block table with stain-less-steel countertops. Thekitchen is well equipped,but Newton admits she’snot a cook. “I’ve only madesoup.”
She filled the cottagewith many other memen-tos from her extensivetravels, from distressed-
wood doors from Francefor the bedroom closet to asteer-hide rug from
Scottsdale, Ariz., in frontof the fireplace. She’s alsohandpicked objects fromher collections, amassedover 20 years of rummag-ing through garage andestate sales and antiquestores.
“It feels like the lovelyand charming home I rent-ed in France in the middleof a vineyard in Saint-Privat,” she said.
The stone house tooktwo years to build, andMurphy relished the one-of-a-kind experience. “Itwas a big project, but itsure was fun,” he said. “Itwas a good synergybetween all of us.”
Suburban landscaperock and potentillas wouldlook out of place in front ofthe fairy-tale stone cot-tage. So Newton, who isalso a gardener, tends col-orful front-yard beds bor-dered by clay tiles thatmix old-fashioned foxgloveand delphiniums withJapanese maple and weep-ing spruce. A walkwaymade of old reclaimedstreet pavers curvesaround the gardens andleads to the front door.“Don’t ask me where I gotthem,” she joked. “It was avery dark night.”
When the stone cottageis not filled with visitingfriends and relatives,Newton retreats to thecalming haven to read,knit, watch hawks soarover the pond and “thinkabout what I want to do inthe garden,” she said.
She’s named the cottage“Fox Hollow” and adornedthe front door with abronze fox ringer becauseeach spring there’s a denof foxes in the nearbywoods.
“My friends called it mylatest folly because I liketo build things,” she said.“But it’s just sweet, isn’tit?”
