Sure I was wondering should it still go into the porn section? Anyone know? On a side note I finished the book and while there were things I already knew in it there were a ton of things I had no clue on. Its sad really I do wish the new owners well with the site and even Austin assuming he continues on as a performer but even I have to say I am shocked at the lack of communication coming from anyone over there. I am really trying to figure out if I am cancelling my membership in the next day or two before it renews. At this rate it really is turning into the old SCM.
The above post is totally my opinion and while in the past I have made a post here or there on behalf of Zane this post in no way reflects his beliefs... just want to get that out there in case anyone reading this had any questions about that.
Do as you wish about a new thread, but my suggestion would be to let the discussion continue in this thread. This thread was created because all of us were interested in Austin and Zane and the web site that they were developing and marketing. Zane's book is the story of that partnership. The partnership of Austin and Zane has now ended. Keeping the book discussion with this thread keeps the story in one place on jub.
austin and zane seemed more exciting when they were still in 2scm
There's so much hype and myth around AZ, it's becoming ridiculous, and comparing it to The Women is about the gayest point of view I can think of. What is it that makes them so special in comparison to the dozens and dozens of other guys in porn that came before them and are following suit?
AZ had potential but I think they made the mistake of making porn - at the time - their priority, which can take its toll on young, impressionable men over a lengthy period of time. Even professional porn "stars" with 20 years of experience have always had a day job that has kept them from losing grip of reality.
So I decided to sit down and read Zane's book "Shame and Fortune". It's less than 200 pages so I was able to get through it pretty quickly. While Zane used his own names (porn and given) throughout the book, he made a somewhat thoughtful attempt to rename others in order to protect their privacy. I say somewhat because there are occasions where several mistakes were made and the actual persons were identified. I'm guessing Zane didn't have an editor for this book as there are loads of errors throughout it.
The ending was a jumbled confusing mess. But the rest of the book was interesting.
QUALIFIER: There are 7 billion humans on planet Earth and with them comes 7 billion opinions. Mine is just one.
I strongly dislike GAY FOR PAY porn stars. I am one of those gay guys with disposable income and none of my money would ever go to the likes of Cody Cummings. Never. Our biggest sexual organ is our brain. The only thing that separates a gay guy from a straight guy is how we view or see a gay guy versus a straight guy. What value or price tag do we assign to a straight guy that we don't to a gay guy? In 2012 gay men are every bit as macho as straight men. Alex Marte, John Magnum, Adam Killian, Kurt Rogers, Peto Coast, Ace Rockwood, Matthew Rush. The list goes on and on.
Today the only difference you will notice between a GAY FOR PAY porn star versus a GAY porn star is "how your mind views each one of them". It all boils down to how we as gay men view being gay.
I like Zane Michaels. He was the main (and only) reason I joined AustinZane in the first place. I never read anything on the site or participated in chats with the guys. I only logged in when there was a new scene between Zane and Austin. If they were in a duo scene, I wanted the video. If the video was a threesome or solo or Zane with someone else or Austin with someone else, I didn't even bother watching it. For me it was all about the chemistry between Zane and Austin.
So the biggest shock for me in "Shame and Fortune" was the fact that they were straight. When I read the first page and saw "As a straight guy. . .", I did a double take. WTF? I was completely floored. Completely.
Austin and Zane are some of the best actors in the world period - Maybe? Whenever I watched their scenes I was so turned on by the fact that they were turned on by each other. I remember one scene where Zane was making breakfast for Austin. They were touching each other, kissing each other, rubbing each other, licking each other. While Zane was standing at the stove making eggs, Austin squatted down and stuck his tongue in Zane's ass. Austin also protected Zane during this scene. When they started fooling around, Austin moved Zane's body away from the stove to ensure Zane didn't get burned. Either they were really into each other or again their acting is off the fucking charts.
In other scenes I also watch erections. It took nothing for Zane to become erect when Austin touches him. I would look for this during uninterrupted scenes where Zane went from flaccid to erect with no scene cuts, splices or edits. Their scenes were hot - especially when no one else was in the room with them.
And I also believe that Zane meant something to Austin. Austin has a child named after Zane (Zane's actual middle name I believe). Who does that? It is no reason the baby's mother had "issues" with Zane. These guys pack a LOT of chemistry between each other. I always assumed that Zane was gay.
After finishing the book I still believe Zane is closer to 6 on the Kinsey scale relative to Austin. It's evident in the book that Austin can become CONSUMED with his girlfriends. I didn't get that sense with Zane and his female consorts. Throughout the book, I got the impression that if Austin ever came up to Zane and told him let's run away together and sell bananas on a tropical island, Zane would already have a bag packed ready in the hall closet.
I believe Austin was conflicted. He loved Zane but he also really enjoyed the company of females to great peril it seemed. His girlfriends wanted unconditional 100% devotion. And for each of them it seemed the ultimate test of that love was to ensure that Austin abandoned Zane in deference to her. And it seemed Zane was looking for the same thing as well. Zane's love for Austin was big enough to allow Austin to have girlfriends but there seemed to be this unspoken mantra of "Bros before Hos" which really equated into me (Zane) before her (insert Austin's femme du jour here). You really never sensed this type of conflict when Zane had a girlfriend. Austin wasn't as bothered. There were never any conflicts between Zane's girlfriends (when he had them) and Austin.
Another thing about this digital book is the fact of what is missing from the pages. Zane never really talks about the sex between him and Austin. He writes about starting and completing scenes. He shares the logistics of the scenes but nothing else. He never speaks of their sexual chemistry. And the reader is also left with the biggest question of all: have the two ever been intimate with each other off camera within the past 5 or so years that they have known each other? The honesty behind that question would be quite telling. Separately they are two interesting guys. But together they are a beautiful display of fireworks.
All of this is somewhat tragic really. In a perfect world, Austin and Zane would be a couple both on and off screen. They would care for each other and love each other immensely, traveling the world, connecting with people all over and building a life full of memories, adventures and strong bonds. But that isn't gonna happen now.
Zane is going to return back home and initially might try to build a relationship with Jacey or Brianna or some other girl that he might think fulfills the void of an absent Austin but I'm guessing no one will replace that void. BUT I DO WISH HIM WELL.
Austin's future is unknown at the moment. I do see another baby on the horizon at some point. And that website isn't going to last. Trust me. I have cancelled my membership. That site was all about Zane and Austin and if Zane isn't returning, my guess is several members will not as well. Only time will tell. The latest scenes added are key indicators. None of the guys are memorable with the exception of the ubiquitous and likable Mitch Vaughn. BUT I DO WISH AUSTIN WELL.
There is a LOT of dysfunction in this book. But they are real guys trying to build solid and stable lives for themselves. I think they are misguided about the ramifications of what it means to be gay. . . . just like many of us may be who fork out money for GAY FOR PAY porn stars.
Thanks for reading my book and I enjoyed how thorough your analysis is Yes, if you bought the digital version off of Amazon, you did indeed receive an early, unedited version and should be receiving the revised and extended version by weekends end (for free). To answer your question, We have never messed around off camera- I didn't include that in the book because I didn't want the book to come across as this macho see-look-how-straight-we-are story that many gay-for-payers promote religiously. I wanted it to be an honest, open look at the dynamic and the struggles that came along with the situation we were in. I didn't speak a whole lot about the chemistry because to be honest, I wrote the book over the past three years and was too busy running a company that it didnt really sink in that our scenes were that amazing. It wasn't until I started finishing the book that I actually began looking back and figuring a lot of things out. As for your bananas and tropical island theory, maybe my bags are already packed, but I would have to think twice from now on and look past the facade. I'm an eternal optimist and would love nothing more than to be friends with Austin again but I don't really think that's going to happen... There's a lot of pain there but regardless of how things went and are, I'll always have a lot of love for that kid and I wish him well in whatever he does.
P.S. thanks to all of you that have read my book. 'Shame and Fortune' debuted at #14 on Amazon right behind a book that was written by Justin Beiber's mom- how awesome is that!?!
Hi Spiff,
I honestly did not know they worked for SCM. When I was reading the book I actually had to stop and go online to research where they were before AustinZane appeared. And when I did a Google search, Just Us Boys answered the question (some post here). I made a mental note to join Just Us Boys after I finished reading the book just because of the assistance. You will see that my post above was my first here. So I had no idea. But that answer and Zane's book did explain why Austin and Zane kept talking about the use of balloons in their first video. When I first saw their 1 year anniversary video, I kept wondering why they linked balloons to their 1st ever scene together. And then I finally got it.
The only person I knew from SCM was a guy named Dean who had an amazing ass. But when I learned he too was GAY FOR PAY I lost interest. He still has a nice ass but so does Adam Killian and John Magnum so I send my money over to Lucas Entertainment or other gay studios. Makes me feel better. Not saying everyone has to do that - just my preference.
I will miss the chemistry between Zane and Austin. I think most will. Their scenes together were really really hot. I don't know how Austin is going to find a Zane replacement. Zane is the only reason I joined in the first place. I liked his butt, his smile and his personality. So finding a Zane replacement will be tough. But I'm sure Austin and/or the new owners will try.
Some pictures of Zane from twitter since retiring:
That is just beautiful . . .
AZ was the last recorded site where Drake Wild performed. Any updates on him?
Hey guys, Zane here. I will be loading up a truck/trailer with supplies and construction equipment and heading to NYC/NJ to assist with the cleanup efforts for the next few weeks. If you have ANYTHING you can donate to the cause, please private message me for details and I can pick them up on the way. Thanks guys!
Heading down there myself to do same.
As a complete non sequitur, you have a stunning cock.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Is it safe to say that AZ is transforming into just another Next Door Corbin Cody Blue Strokes site? I miss the experimental intimacy they had with their models but, oh well, good things never last that long.
It's safe to say that since Zane left AZ, the house of cards that they built has fallen. The new owners claim they "are working hard to get back to a rigid 5 day update cycle" but have not made an on-time update since Zane left- a few times going 12 days in between updates. After not updating their members via the blog, they have removed it and have not (as far as I can see) had one single live show since his departure. I follow both AZ and Zane Michaels on Twitter and I have to admit, all of Austin's attempts to bring new members to the site are coming across as cheap and desperate and remind me of SCM. Seems like Zane got out at the right time, me thinks there is more to the story, though. Care to comment, Zane???
Actually, I would rather hear from "Austin." It's clear that Zane has left the site and has no input to the day-to-day management of austinzane. I would much rather hear something from those who are managing the site. Regardless, I think the writing is on the wall. Austinzane is pretty much toast. Austin is off working with Austin Wilde and Anthony Romero and their new site, while his site flounders. That tells me that Austin is not committed to his customers that pay every month. Frankly, without having regular updates and there being no explaination of the future of AZ, I have been foolish for waiting this long to cancel my membership.
Just discovered that you can read Zane's book on a Kindle free if you are a member of Amazon Prime (via the included lending service)
^I hope Amazon is paying him royalties for the privilege.
Darn, I had a trial Amazon Prime membership for a month before his book came out. Maybe the book is available if you try the
30 day trial.
for someone who's retired from porn, zane's sure showing a lot of skin (not that i mind!)
damn, i'd love to be tickled deep by him!
seeing as he hung out and appeared to be friends with the cf guys, i wonder if pete might coax him into doing some scenes for cfselect?
You know what they say, "once a whore, never a bore."
Kinda sad he left AZ. He and Austin had such good chemistry onscreen. Oh well. I am sure Zane will hang around. He already did a scene for men.com.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while! Yes, I am afraid it is true, the site the Austin and I created, seems to be dead. I had originally thought that the site was in good hands without me being there but now the site seems to be left for dead. On Christmas, I was trying to show my cousin the Hardball Films logo that I designed (we're a close family lol) so I went to the site to bring it up and I was surprised to see that all traces of the HBF logo have been removed along with the Blog, the LIVEchat, video descriptions, and the update schedule was removed from the 'help' section. I'm not sure if the new year will bring a revival to AZ but it seems that I did get out before things got really bad.
I recently visited Las Vegas and before I left, I chose to go visit Austin and bury the hatchet. We spoke over a 6-pack and I was surprised to learn that he never actually sold his share of the website. The only reason I agreed to sell the site was because as I was laying in a hospital bed in Ohio, I received an email that stated that Austin agreed to sell his portion of the site to the new owners. I knew that if one of us was no longer a part of AZ, the site wouldn't be the same site that we created so I accepted the same offer to be bought out. If I knew he wasn't actually going to sell, I would have never sold my part and AZ would probably still be operating. I'm not sure of any agreements that Austin has/had in place with the new owners but as you can understand, I felt a little betrayed. However, I was there to bury the hatchet and there was nothing that I could do to undo it so I just wished him well.
Now that the site is dead, I do not know what he is doing or has planned but I can only imagine that things are a little tight for him. It pains me to think that he may be struggling which is why I feel that although there is some validation in the thought that I was a big part of the site's success, it brings me no satisfaction to be 'right' in this situation.
As far as my book, Shame and Fortune, goes, I have been very limited in my promotion of it and have almost completely cut communication with my publisher. The book was published with so many errors and silly mistakes that were supposed to be edited by my publisher but were not. If I knew he wasn't going to edit it, I would have took the time and did it myself. Sales are still doing well, but when I received the version to approve for print, almost all of the mistakes that I had since changed were still in the new version for print which I will not approve. I appreciated all of you that purchased the book and were able to look past the mistakes and just focus on the story. If I receive an edited version from my publisher, I will approve it for print but until then, the digital version will just have to do! I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store! I love you guys!
Who got Bret in the breakup?
Shared custody, I suspect.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
Lol, I speak to Bret pretty regularly and he'll be coming to Ohio for a visit in the spring he's doing really well!
Sorry, late arrival to this conversation. Sorry to hear about things dissolving. Where in Ohio are you at these days?
I'm in the sticks but the nearest city is Toledo
I can't even begin to say how sad I am. I stumbled accross a video of Zane from SCM and was tottally wowed, so of course I started searching him and was so happy to see not only was he doing porn but even started his own site. I was super psyched and I was seconds from signing up when I stumbled accross this. All in one day I found one of the most beautiful men out there and "poof" he was gone. I will be buying the book, partly cause I super nosey and partly cause Zane seems like a cool (crazy hot) guy. Even though our love affair was quick Zane I wish you all the best.
Anyone see the latest video the "new owners" of AZ posted? I could barely watch it and only did to confirm my suspicions that it was garbage and also to confirm that Austin is no longer with AZ. Below is what I wrote in the AZ comments section after the video but am sure it will never be approved to post so I also sent a separate email to the new owners. I'm sure what I had to say will mean nothing to them anyway but it made me feel better to say it.
"First words that come to mind are "what the fuck was that?" I would normally try to be positive and give constructive criticism but this doesn't deserve it. Obviously, you "new owners" are trying something different and it sucks. Let AZ die in peace and just start a whole new website if this is the content that is going to be on it. This doesn't deserve to be on this site. What Austin and Zane created was very special and the fans and members are all disappointed and sad that it came to an end. Austin was trying to carry on and at least he still had the passion and drive to want to continue to create a quality product. If given the chance, I believe he could have succeeded. Yes it would be different but still a quality product plus he still had his fan base to pull it through. This was just crap. Completely fake and staged from the moment it started. No chemistry and kind of creepy. To the actors themselves, really don't mean to offend, this may be perfectly acceptable porn on some other site, but it is completely misplaced on AZ. Fans/members came here for specific reasons and this latest update is the exact opposite of them. Yes, you can call me bitter and tell me to get over the fact that the real AZ is no more; I can admit I don't like it and miss it. BUT that doesn't change the fact that Austin shouldn't have been restricted then pushed out and should still be running this site. It also doesn't change the fact that this latest update was shit. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! Since this will probably never be approved to post, I will send an email also."
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
What I find most interesting and disturbing is that Austin or the "new owners" have not made any public statements about AustinZane. That crap scene that was posted a few days ago is pretty much a joke. I don't believe that we will ever know the truth that went on between Austin or Zane, the demise of the site or the "new owners." While Zane has made comments here and there, but, the real story is in what has not been said.
In my opinion, they have all taken advantage of the members. By not communicating with the members and not posting regularly scheduled content, what we have is pretty much a scam. They are making money from the site, charging subscribers and not providing any new materials. The "new owners" and the "former owners" have failed their fiduciary duties to their subscribers...not that they care.
It's also interesting that non of the porn bloggers have taken an interest in what happens when a once up and coming and award winning porn company goes belly-up.
Lastly, in following the AZ twitter TL, it looks like porn producer, Tom Moore is somehow associated with AZ. That can't be good at all. The quality and depth of Tom Moore's stuff, IMO, is pretty low class.
I sincerely hope that you are not including me in this statement. When I owned the site, it was regularly updated, frequent LIVEchats were held, and I constantly communicated what we were up to. If an update was late, it wasn't because there wasn't content filmed, it was because Austin didn't make AZ a top priority which caused a lot of instability and tension between us, we were on 2 different planets when it came to AZ. Not only did I constantly hold solo LIVEchats because I was pretty much alone in my efforts, I have tried my best to keep the AZ fans, many of which I consider my friends, updated. The truth is, once I sold my part of the company, I was completely shut out from it and could only speculate what was happening with it.
After finally speaking with a mutual friend, I was informed that Austin really wanted to prove to everyone that he could do AZ on his own without me but the new owners were making it very difficult for him. When I was bought out, the new owners felt that AZ could only be more successful if they owned it 100%. Now I have heard that the new owners had closed the bank accounts, locked Austin out of the site and the Twitter, and it appears to have been sold or given to that Tom Moore guy- but I really don't know however, there is some tell-tale signs. So all that I know for sure is that Austin and I have nothing to do with AZ anymore and the site has indeed taken a turn for the -strange? Did the new owners get more frustrated with Austin? Did a big blow-out lead to a sale? We may never know, this is all speculation which is why I can only be so informative.
AZ was my obsession. I loved creating content that was unique and fun. Had Austin taken the site as seriously as we both did when we first launched, it would still be the same site that it was. I would grow so frustrated sometimes that I would start manipulating situations to somehow try to get Austin more on board but my efforts usually backfired and made me look like an asshole of a friend. Even now, I sometimes wonder if there was something else I could have done to influence him but after a while, AZ was no longer a priority for him. I was always and still am very devoted to those that supported us. I still Skype with fans (zane.michaels1) and still interact with everyone on my Twitter (zanemichaels1) so please do not include me in the 'scammer/taking advantage of members' group, the new AZ is something that I am not comfortable being associated with.
ZaneMich, there are always going to be people who accuse you of all sorts of things. I for one don't believe any of that, and I think you did your best...but the success of a partnership requires both partners to want it and work for it.
I'm going to follow you on Twitter and I look forward to your next venture.

OH GOD, THEY DID IT AGAIN!!! (Runs to bathroom to vomit) Another new AZ video uploaded. Is it just me or does John Magnum seem like a predator? And who's the creep behind the camera - is it that Tom Moore guy that has been mentioned? ICK ICK ICK!!! Then at the end they ask for positive feedback. Good Luck with THAT!!! A website that once made fans Hot and Happy now make them cringe from the creepiness. Another glaring reminder of how special the real people behind Austin and Zane were.
I shall mourn AGAIN and light a candle in remembrance of what AZ used to be....
I don't think the new guy is bad looking, just not a fan of that kind of nose piercings on a guy.
I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it.
latest tease from sexy Zane
Is Zane going to get back into porn?
You could argue that he never left:
There's nothing quite like a HOT, Sexy, Good Hearted, Ohio Guy!
And, Zane certainly qualifies in all of those respects!!
Keep smilin'!!
WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
Ok wow...I don't even know where to start. Everyone might want to skip right over this post and go back to watching some porn because I'm just going to go on a long rant (consisting of a million paragraphs) about everything you already know, sorry in advance...
So thanks for all the updates about the site everyone. I had been wondering for months what was happening with the austinzane site. I should have been checking this forum more regularly and I would have known before now. Clearly I'm months behind on this news. The only reason I finally discovered what happened was because I logged onto Twitter and saw that Zane Michaels was following me. So thank you for that Zane (Jared).
For the past few months I would check the austinzane site occasionally just to see if there was a new update. I was always left disappointed when there would never be a new scene posted that included Austin and Zane. I was starting to grow irritated simply because I only cared about the site because of them. That's what kept me coming back to the site, nothing else, as was the case for many people. I was wondering what the deal was it was obvious from the updates that something was happening behind the scenes. Except whenever I would check the austinzane twitter account nothing was said about any changes to the site so I figured everything must be continuing on. You would think something as big as Zane leaving the site would be posted on the Twitter account or made public. Clearly not. Still I just had that feeling that something wasn't right because last I knew Zane was in the hospital and then nothing, it was like everything changed. Which I know now is accurate...everything had changed.
I am definitely Team Zane in all of this mess, he was always my favorite not only because of the porn but because he seemed genuine and honestly a good guy. I appreciated the fact that he was so open with the fans and always posted on this forum and on twitter. He has responded to my messages many times. Which showed me that he realized he wouldn't be in the position of running a successful site without the fans and that he was appreciative of those fans. He seemed a lot more devoted to the site and the fans than Austin, which once again, has proven now to be accurate. Austin did not communicate with members very well at all. I feel like Zane actually made it a priority and Austin did not. Much respect to Zane for posting here multiple times and sharing his side of what has happened. I will continue to support Zane because from the beginning he has been open and honest about talking with us all.
One thing that is quite odd to me...I don't understand at all why Austin would continue with the site if he didn't put much effort into it when Zane was a part of it. It sounds like he was getting sick of running the site, so why continue after Zane is gone? Doesn't make much sense to me. I do think it's shady that Austin had not sold his share of the company like Zane was lead to believe. However it seems to have backfired anyways since it appears he has now been forced out of the site by the new owners. Maybe you guys know better than me since you have been following the story but has Austin actually addressed everything that has happened or has he completely disappeared into obscurity? I haven't seen any interviews or him acknowledging what went down. You would think that he would at least want to address the fans who have supported him for the past few years about what happened. Has he done so?
I saw that Zane mentioned earlier this month that Austin is no longer involved with the site. It's ridiculous to me that the site has not mentioned at all that Zane and Austin are no longer a part of it. Instead keeping the 'about us' section up like nothing has changed. It seems like most members are aware by now. But it's very misleading to people who may stumble upon the site for the first time and think that Zane and Austin are still affiliated with it. I understand that the owners bought the site and the appeal is the Austin/Zane name and dynamic but how can you just continue on producing videos for the site without addressing the fact that Austin and Zane are gone. I guess that's just the perfect example of what the site has turned into, total crap.
Honestly this whole situation is really unfortunate. The two did have great chemistry which always came across in scenes and seemed authentic. It's disappointing because I was definitely a hardcore fan of them both. I had watched every single one of their scenes that they had filmed together multiple times, even some from SCM. So you could say I was a dedicated fan. I was such a fan that I even created a tumblr fan page for them because there was such a demand for them by the fans. Which will obviously be taken down asap because now there is no reason to be connected at all to the austinzane name. It wasn't only about the porn for me, it was the fact that I really connected with both of them and loved their chemistry together. I never cared to watch any scene that didn't consist of Austin/Zane together. No one else had the chemistry that they shared in those scenes. So it's very unfortunate that their relationship took such a turn for the worst. But I guess that's real life and things are not always what they appear to be. It's good though that Austin and Zane seem to be talking again now, or are at least cordial.
I've unfollowed the austinzane twitter account because I don't care anymore. I'm not interested in the site when Zane isn't on it and the site has majorly went downhill. Even though he is not a part of the site anymore I don't care enough about Austin at this point to continue being a fan. Not that he will care because the fans never seemed to be very important to him anyways. I'm glad that Zane got out when he did. I hope you see this post Zane, I sincerely wish you the best and I will continue to be a fan because you have always been good to me. I hope you're enjoying life in Ohio and taking a step back from all of this to just breathe and get your life back in order.
To anyone who actually read this post, damn you deserve an award and thanks for your time.
There are a bunch of these ex gay4pay porn guys who do general contracting. In addition to Zane, there's CF's Lucas, TommyD, SC's Curtis. They should pool their resources and do a reality show re-modeling rich queens' condos etc. Season One could be "Upper Market", Two Chelsea, etc. Obviously they'll be shirtless most of the time or in denim overalls, like cheesy 70s-80s porn. They don't get naked, though you might see a crack or two like Dan Ackroyd's in the classic SNL "Norge" sketch.
Call it "Tool Guys for the Queer Eye".

Oral History Program Jane Brown Dunaway Interviewed by John Sillito 19 October 2007 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Jane Brown Dunaway Interviewed by John Sillito 19 October 2007 Copyright © 2011 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. Oral History Project was created to capture the memories of individuals associated with the company. Several of the interviewees are family and relatives, others are personalities involved with Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. and some of the company's prominent figures. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

The interview was conducted by John Sillito on October 19, 2007, in the Waterstradt Room of the Stewart Library at Weber State University and concerns her experiences with Utah Construction Company; her grandfather, William Henry Wattis; her grandmother, Marie Stander Wattis; and her memories of growing up in Ogden, Utah. Lisa Largent was also present during the interview. JS: Jane, let"s start by telling me who your grandfather and grandmother were, and what you remember about them. JD: Alright, my grandfather was William Henry Wattis, but he went by W.H. because it was easier to say. And my grandmother was Marie Stander. I guess Scandinavian people have lots of names, but I knew her as Marie Wattis. When my grandfather was sick with cancer I got to visit him in the St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco. He had cancer and he was in bed all the time, but I got to sit at the edge of his bed, and he was glad. He liked children, I guess. JS: How old were you at that time? JD: I must have been between three and two and a half. It felt like such a privilege to be sitting at the edge of his bed and he didn't seem like a big construction man. And do I dare tell a poem that he taught me? JS: Yes, please. JD: Okay, this is for a two or three year old: Ask your mother for fifty cents To see the elephant jump the fence 2 He jumped so high He reached the sky And didn"t come back till the Fourth of July. That is my memory of when he was well and could talk. At that point, grandmother was looking after him a lot, but in between she would take me to the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco. And that was sheer delight, because they didn"t have any fences and you could sit on the lawn. So she took me to see the penguins, which she liked. She was such a lady and always cared for herself, her hair always looked nice. JS: She lived several years after your grandfather, so I guess you got to know her as an older child. JD: Yes, I also remember the funeral for grandfather. It was huge. JS: Was it in San Francisco? JD: No, the funeral was in Ogden. We went around to different places that he belonged to, like the Lions Club. My grandmother lived up Ogden Canyon at that point. She had a little house and my mother and sister were taking art classes at an art colony near Salt Lake. I lived with my grandmother all summer and it was a delightful time to be living near the Ogden River. Every morning we would go get some sand and bring it back. It was our project. And she would tell me about their trip to Europe and the little bit she saw before World War I started. For many years I lived with her in the summer. Or, it seems like many years when you"re little. In the fall, we collected leaves and pressed them. Grandmother was always interested in doing artwork. Not great artwork, but things like pressing autumn 3 leaves. Our family didn"t have very much money at that time. My mother took in boarders. JS: And this was in Ogden? JD: In Ogden. On 24th Street; I think it"s 853, but I don"t recall the exact number. JS: Near Monroe? JD: Yes, right near Monroe. I went to school at Madison. And my brother and sisters had also gone to the same school. Helen got to go to the private Catholic school because she wasn"t well. I remember that at one point, my mother packed us all in the car and we drove to Las Vegas. My mother was really sleepy because she had been driving the whole way from Utah and I wanted to keep her awake. Then we got to where the guests of W.H. could stay and it seemed extremely elegant. JS: So the dam was under construction. JD: Just the very beginning I think. JS: Let me clarify a couple of things. By this time your father had passed away? JD: Yes, he passed away just months after my grandfather passed away. So, my mother raised the four children herself. And we had a wonderful house. JS: Here in Ogden? JD: In Ogden, and it had been built by Mormons, so it had different doors for different wives. My grandfather helped to pay for the renovation, because all the windows were broken when they bought it. And we had a bedroom for each person, each of the four children. And there were maids" quarters that I"d sneak in to. JS: Did you have a maid and help that way? JD: For a while after my father died, but my mother had to let all the help go. I 4 remember different cooks and people that worked for us. JS: Let"s back up just a little bit. For the record, tell me your dad"s name and your mom"s name. And I know this is not a very nice question to ask, but I need to know when you were born. JD: Oh, February 21, 1928. My mother"s name was Mary Jane Wattis, and she married this elegant man named Dr. Richard Brown. JS: What was his specialty as a physician? JD: At that time, they didn"t have specialties, they were general doctors. He wanted to go into a specialty. He had a grant to go back to Columbia to study radiology. He couldn"t afford to go with four children. JS: So you had three siblings. JD: I had two sisters, Helen Hope and Patricia. Patricia was eight years older than I was, Helen was five years older, and my brother was four years older and that seemed a huge gap. JS: What was your brother"s name? JD: His name was Richard, too. JS: So you were the youngest of the four? JD: Yes, the baby. JS: Well, I interrupted you a little bit to get that on the record, but you were talking about remembering the help and growing up in that area. JD: Yes. The yard was absolutely beautiful because the people who lived there before had planted a tree every year. We had enough space, so we had to do irrigation, which is a Utah way of watering. Once a week, my brother and I were 5 in charge of irrigation. It was fun to lift up these bars and water would come flooding in and water the lawn. Little by little, my mother remodeled the house so it looked nice. It was really beautiful. We did have several visits to visit the Hoover Dam while they were building it, and that was exciting. And then finally they paid a dividend. That was really exciting because my mother"s income was just from the school teachers who paid rent. JS: You said she had boarders. JD: I was telling Tina about one of the teachers who taught in Pingree School which was below Washington. And they all stayed friends, especially my mother and Mary Belle who taught P.E. at Madison school. I do remember, early on, that they"d read articles from the New Yorker out loud and that they"d meet every afternoon for coffee, and my mother took courses at Weber. It was down near Jefferson at that time. She got an "A" in alfalfa. She studied farming, so we teased her about having an "A" in alfalfa. Time went on, and my mother and I packed up everything and moved to San Francisco. JS: About how old were you? JD: I was probably about twelve or eleven, and I was really homesick at first for the mountains. JS: Before we talk about your move to San Francisco, let me ask you a couple more questions about growing up in Ogden. You seemed to have been lucky, I mean there were other grandkids, but you seemed to have spent a lot of time with your grandmother, which is still fresh in your mind. What were your interactions with 6 the other Wattis children, both the children from W.H., but perhaps E.O. or even Warren? JD: I didn"t know Warren. I saw [at the symposium] yesterday that he was an intellectual and he wrote. With the other children, I had a friend named Eddie Dumke. Eddie and I were ski friends because his mom took us skiing. JS: Out here in the Ogden area? JD: She would take us to Alta. She also took us out of school. I was not a terribly good student; skiing was my choice. So Eddie and I were pretty young and we kept in contact after I moved away and he went to boarding school, and sometimes we"d see each other at Sun Valley. JS: What about some of the other Wattis kids? JD: I was just about that much younger that I didn"t have contact with them, mostly with Eddie. But my sister Helen lived in Salt Lake and I know they had a neighbor named Zeke Dumke. They were very close to that family, and other than that I get all the genealogy mixed up. Tina asks me all the time for information. Eddie married a young woman, younger than I was, and I knew her a little bit, and she was very pretty. She was a Browning. And that marriage turned out pretty well, quite well in fact. I haven"t kept in touch. Tina saw Eddie at the last meeting, and he phoned me and said, "What a delightful daughter you have." I also knew Edna Dumke. I really liked her, but as for the others there was kind of a wall, especially after the other side of the company wanted to go into mining and was finished with the ranches. JS: Well, you mentioned that you moved to San Francisco. Let"s talk about that for a 7 few minutes. I get the impression that was not a popular decision for you. JD: At first, I really wanted to go, because my mother had been quite sick and in the hospital there—at St. Francis. I was there with one of the boarders, the babysitter, and I was lonesome. In September, October, and November I wrote to the doctor and said I would like to be with my mother. But in that time, I learned to ski and I was having such a good time that I got chosen for the ski team for Utah. It was difficult to go to a very academic school in San Francisco. I missed the mountains. For the next couple of years I went to boarding school. JS: What boarding school was that, do you know? JD: It was called Castilleja. It was near Stanford and it was a good school. JS: If I remember, you told me you kind of took off. JD: Oh, yeah, senior year I was afraid my grades weren"t any good, so I climbed down the fire escape, went to San Francisco and got my skis and a ticket and rode the train to Salt Lake. When my parents found out, they sent a detective after me. The detective couldn"t get up to Alta because we were snowbound. It was during the war and they didn"t plow the road. So I worked as a waitress and it was a wonderful learning experience. At first, I was supposed to help clean rooms, but the Japanese help were much better than I was so I waited tables and skied and it was a delightful time. JS: Sure. How long were you up there at Alta? JD: Until June or the end of May. I thought I should finish high school so I went back to San Francisco and finished. JS: Where did you graduate? 8 JD: It was called Drews. It was a school for people preparing to go to West Point and other places. JS: Alta was built in the 1930"s so you were there at a pretty early period. What do you remember of that? JD: Well I remember way back in time that we would take buses from Ogden to go to Alta. There were businessmen from Salt Lake using the chair lift which was still mining equipment. I didn"t ride on it then. I used the rope tow. All of the Ogden people were part of our own club. We also skied in the area around Huntsville. We would meet after skiing at my mother"s home and she would have hot food for us. And I said that our club had been named "Snow Basin," now I don"t know if that"s true or not. JS: So that was before Snow Basin was Snow Basin. JD: Yes, that was maybe "36 or "37. JS: So, you feel like maybe you named the place? JD: Oh definitely. So, it was delightful. At one point, this was quite early, we had a traveling German group who came to my mother"s home. They were asked if they were Nazis and they said they were. JS: Really? JD: So, this man instructed me in skiing and I thought he was next to God because he was a ski instructor. In retrospect that"s totally weird, isn"t it? To think that they could travel freely and then go back to fight during the war. One of the Brownings married a count from Italy. During the war, they were worried about people learning the secrets of our side. The husband of the Browning girl got picked up 9 and put in jail for going on an afternoon walk. JS: Here in Ogden? JD: Yes. JS: Oh my. It sounds like there was a great deal of interest in skiing even in those early days. Was there a lot of support for it here? JD: There wasn"t that much support. Not at first. I wasn"t a Mormon so I didn"t go to church and skiing kept people away from church. JS: You told me an interesting story about the difference between the Egyptian Theater and the other theater. Let"s get that on tape. JD: Oh yes. My brother and I would go to the movie house that was below Washington. I think it was owned by the Glassmans, but I"m not sure. They would give you a popsicle if you bought a ticket, or sometimes they would give you a hamburger. After the movie, I"d take my brother"s hand and we"d walk to Grandmother Smith"s home. She was married to someone who worked for the railroad. Her last name was Smith but my father"s last name was Brown. She was very Irish. JS: Do you remember your grandma"s first name? JD: No, I knew she was Grandmother Smith. And she was very Irish. She had Cambrook Tea, and I guess Cambrook Tea was something they have in Ireland. It was milk and hot water. With lots of sugar. JS: And when you went to the Egyptian Theater? JD: Oh, I lost track. With age you lose track, you know! When we went to the Egyptian Theater, it was more "up town." They had movies about flying airplanes, 10 but also they charged for the candy bars. It seemed like a very elegant theater compared to the other. They had a sign saying, "Babes in arms free." So all three of my siblings carried me in. Every time the usher—we used to have ushers—would come by I"d hide. So, it was a small town. Another good remembrance I had was going to the library. It was very impressive. There was a lady who would read out of a book and we could get books and bring them back and forth. I was told afterwards that they had paintings on the wall by the Mexican artists. At that time, they were starting the WPA [Works Progress Administration] projects of supporting artists, like they had in San Francisco, where the Coit Tower was painted. Going to the library was a real treat, but it was a long way to walk. At that time, we didn"t ask for our mother to drive us around very much. JS: You walked or rode your bike? JD: Yes, and went sleigh riding when it snowed. JS: Did you? Where? JD: Well, I was looking for the steep hills you know. We used to block up the streets, and it was just delightful. I had a Flexible Flyer and it was totally fun. JS: You moved to San Fransisco and lived there for a while. Did you come back and live in Ogden at any time? JD: Well, not really. I did come back once because it was war time and my sister Helen, I think she was either at Berkeley or Stanford, and I came back to be at home. Since it was war and there was a housing shortage, they had all these soldiers staying at the house. I felt like it wasn"t my home. Before Pearl Harbor, 11 we went and visited my oldest sister who was married and lived in Provo. Then we went to Alta and spent Christmas there. That was a wonderful time. There were young men from Cal Tech—a whole group of them. The lift broke down, such as it was. They fixed the lift because they were engineers. Years later, I got in touch with one of the Cal Tech men and he worked on the atomic bomb. I last heard he was living in Switzerland. But that was a nice holiday from boarding school. JS: Sure. LL: What about your roommate when you worked at Alta? JD: Oh, Mrs. Howard! Well, Mrs. Howard had worked at Brighton. She had a restaurant and she looked after these young people who weren"t Mormons. She ran that place at Brighton for years before Alta was opened. When I ran away from school, I shared a room with Mrs. Howard, and she was a wonderful lady. She"d been married to a miner and he had passed away. LL: How old were you when you went to Hoover Dam? JD: I don"t think I was in school yet, but I"m not sure. I might have been. I think we made several visits. They probably arranged which families went at which time. It always seemed so terribly elegant. Now I get vertigo, but we did go on those elevators at the dam. I went to visit the dam about ten years ago and I didn"t even want to go across it. LL: Where did you stay when you went? JD: There was a special guesthouse when we went to visit the Hoover Dam. It was for families. I don"t remember if we had roommates or not. Oh, and then to go 12 back, it was a huge production to get all those men to work and we visited where they made the sandwiches. JS: In Boulder City? JD: In Boulder City, and you would see all these—it must have been Wonder Bread—it was all lined up and people were doing lunches for the men. I heard that they wanted to work at night. JS: Because it was so hot? JD: Well, so hot and also they wanted to finish it. I don"t know if they cared if it was hot or not, they wanted the work done. And they invented the dishpans to go over their heads for light. They had to have salt because their bodies would become so dehydrated. One day we went down to where the four corners are, and they said that when the lake was filled up, that spot won"t be there; I put my feet on all four corners. I had no idea about the construction and the building and the cement. I learned later that they had to cool the cement, which was a technology that they had to learn afterwards. And they had labor problems. I remember the name Hank Lawler. He"d been with the company for a long time and I think he settled some of that. LL: Did you ever meet him? JD: Probably, because I did go there. They kept the office in San Francisco and I remember that they had a spittoon in the office. Years later, I went to visit Ed Littlefield and he had a really beautiful office but it had certainly changed from that time. JS: But you had some contact with the company even after you were an adult and 13 that sort of thing? JD: Not really because I got married. After I was divorced, I had a boyfriend who passed away from cancer. I phoned Ed and said, "I am going to Chile and ski, just to get away for a time." So I went to Chile and, of course, I got snowbound and had adventures. I knew that Utah had mines, but Hoover Dam was long past. I knew they had an office in Peru. I went to the office in Lima and they were very secretive and wouldn"t let me talk to anybody. LL: What about in Australia? JD: I was treated really well in Australia. JS: By Utah Construction? JD: By Utah; Ed Littlefield arranged for me to go. JS: Oh, I see. Tell us about that. JD: Okay. Well, we were late getting there, but they still had an office in Brisbane. So all my mail had been sent. Because we"d been traveling all through India and Mali, my mail had been sent to the office there in Brisbane. They arranged for me to fly to the area where they were mining. Utah had built the whole town, with a school and everything. I didn"t realize they were on strike. This man who took us around looked like Gary Cooper. We had a nice lunch and he showed us this great huge monstrous machine that did the mining. It was high tech for that time. Well, he took us around and I just thought they were on holiday, but it was a definite strike and Australia wasn"t very happy about that. But in between, Utah, I guess, had built dams in New Zealand and all over the world. When I watched the news, I saw this wonderful lake outside of Geneva that Utah had built. So it 14 was worldwide. Astounding. JS: You spent most of your life in California. JD: Most of it. I spent about ten years in Europe while I was married because my husband loved to ski. And he had been in the mountain troops. JS: What was your husband"s name? JD: His name was William Dunaway. That was a dream that he had when he was in the Army—to come and be a ski racer. So we did ski races early after the war. There were hardships. We didn"t starve or anything like that, but there was no heat and it was cold in Europe. LL: And when you came across the English Channel in the fog—that"s an incredible story. JD: Well, when we were first married we were still adventuresome and we bicycled. And you remember that last year they talked about it being the rainiest year that England had had in fifty. We decided to buy a boat and sail to France. Because the Germans had sunk all the boats in France, we could sail the boat and this was entrepreneurship, so to speak. Well, we bought this twenty-three foot boat called the Siskin—it"s named after a bird—and we were not qualified to do that. We were really not qualified. So we met up with a couple of British people. They"d bought a sturdy fishing boat and they were architects so they had rebuilt it. They couldn"t get gas, but we could because we were tourists. At that point, we"d had all kinds of adventures. And I was happy to go along and they"d sailed before to Holland. JS: Sure, and they knew what they were doing. 15 JD: They said the weather was really good and so we decided to cross. We pulled them because we had gas and their fishing boat went by sails. The wind started to come up and it started to come up more and more and more. Our mast broke and I would work the bilge pump because of these huge waves. We fought the waves for hours. They said, "We can"t do this any more; it"s wrecking our boat." I jumped onto their boat and they pulled Bill off and we landed in Holland with no passports. JS: Oh my. So you lost your boat? JD: About a year later I got something from the FBI and I thought, "Oh, what"s happened?" Bill was off ski racing and I was in Geneva. A trawler had picked up the boat. They found Bill"s I.D.—his discharge from the Army that had lasted throughout all that time. JS: How long have you lived in Carmel? JD: It"s been twelve years now since I"ve been back. I lived in Hawaii for quite awhile. I was on the island of Kauai. It"s a nice place. When the hurricane came last time, I moved back. My excuse was to be near my grandkids. JS: Well, that"s a good excuse. And I gather you are fairly active in civic things there in Carmel? JD: Well, more with the hospital in San Francisco. That one has been my project. JS: Which hospital? JD: The University of California at San Francisco. They helped save my youngest grandson. He had infant botulism and the hospital in Carmel didn"t diagnose it. He got flown up and he stayed about six weeks in the hospital there. It was 16 during the Gulf War. They were saving the vaccine for the men from the Gulf War if they got gassed. So I love that hospital. I"ve been interested in the hospital and the school, because lots of the children are stuck there because they"re getting chemotherapy. JS: There"s a school at the hospital? JD: That was innovative at that time. The last time I talked to the teacher, she had gotten a young man enrolled into college through the computer. JS: Online? JD: Online, yes. So, I"ve been interested in that, and some things locally. But I look at Carmel and I think they have enough money. I"m really pleased what the Dees and Dumkes and the Eccles have done in this area. Unbelievable. LL: It"s changed in the last four years. JD: Oh, definitely. I went by where my home used to be and I was heart broken when I saw they"d torn the house down. JS: Is there was anything you thought you"d like to put on the tape that you haven"t said? JD: Well, I just felt that Marie and W.H. had a wonderful marriage. And I felt as though she loved me so much. JS: Your grandmother lived quite a few years after him. JD: Quite a few, yes. Oh, one thing I can say, she did keep in contact with her friends from the northern part of Utah. A young man who was in the Navy Air Corps came to visit here when she was at the ranch at Walnut Creek. That was where I would visit her from San Francisco. He got leave to go back to Utah to bring in 17 the hay for two weeks. He was very handsome. LL: And when he passed away? JD: He lost his life in an airplane. LL: Were you with your grandmother when she read the letter? JD: Yes, she was really sad about that because he was such a nice lift in her life when he"d come to visit. It"s hard for me to talk about death. LL: And what about the homes when you would go to Idaho? JD: Well, this is what I heard, because I don"t think that I was born yet. Grandmother would pick up the three children—my mother"s children—and go up to Idaho. This place was a homestead to give proof that she was there, so that they could still keep the land. She loved the land. JS: Well, one of the things we learned yesterday was W.H. was always out in the community. JD: The extrovert. JS: He was the extrovert. Was your grandmother an extrovert or was she more of an introvert? JD: She was more of an introvert. She liked to do crafts and was quieter. So when she was in that little house up in Ogden canyon it wasn"t elaborate or anything it was basic, and she loved it. She did like to garden. JS: So they maintained a house in the city as well as the one in canyon? JD: Yes, they lived on Jefferson. Later, the family had a big ranch which is now part of the suburbs of Berkeley. She lived on that, because it was warm and nice. And they built a house for her. I was with her when she had one of her last strokes. 18 Things were still primitive then; the only thing I knew, at that point, was that if some one was sick then to give them a shot of whiskey, which is the last thing you"re supposed to do. I tried to get her on the bed and she told me she loved me and I told her I loved her. And then I was afraid to tell my mom, at first, because she liked to be independent. JS: Your grandma? JD: Yes, and then I did tell her that she"d been sick and they went and it was a massive stroke. She was in a wheelchair for a long time. LL: How old was she at that point? JD: I think in her middle sixties. She was quite a bit younger than grandfather. And I think she was a good patient too, even though she didn"t like being in a wheelchair. I don"t know if this story is true, but she went to work as a nanny for these people and they were in Frying Pan Gulch, which is near Aspen. That"s where W.H. was working and that"s where they met. It"s kind of romantic that she was a maid for these people at that time. So, I have said I should have a tape recorder on me because sometimes you don"t know what I"ll remember!

Lean Cuisine has really emerged to be the leader in frozen foods battlefield. I think that they consistently produce tasty, flavorful frozen meals, with so many varieties that everyone is almost guaranteed to find something they like [I have converted many an unsuspecting "all frozen dinners taste horrible" coworkers into Lean Cuisine Southwest-Style Chicken Panini lovers]. Lean Cuisine, being the innovators that they are, have decided to up the stakes even further, with a new line called Lean Cuisine Flatbreads.
I practically salivated when I saw this in the store. It looks so yummy on the box and I really couldn't wait to dig into one for lunch. The microwave time is 4 mins 45 seconds, and for once I followed the directions exactly which resulted in a steaming hot and ready to be eaten sandwich. . Soft flat bread oozing with chicken and cheese sprinkled with small pieces of green onions, tomatoes and bacon. Delish! Flavorful and mouth watering. It was gone too soon, but it was filling as well because this held me until dinner.
Each Lean Cuisine Chicken Ranch Club Flatbread Melts has 330 calories, 9 grams of total fat and 3.5 grams of saturated fat (14 and 16% of the RDA), no trans fat, 8% of the RDA for cholesterol, 26% of the RDA for sodium, 21 grams of protein and 41 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 4 grams of sugar and fiber. These are 7 Weight Watchers Points.
The nutrition facts could use some improvement in reducing the sodium and it could stand to be a little lower in fat too. I purchased one box for $2.92, and overall, I would still say that it was worth every penny - worhty of a repeat purchase.

Though some look to a suspension agreement (which sets floor prices on imports), Guan says Florida's strawberry sector is much smaller than Florida's tomato industry and is dwarfed by California's berry production.
As many grower-shippers in both states are invested in Mexican production, a dumping lawsuit wouldn't be likely, he and others said.
Mexican tomatoes are imported through a suspension agreement, first put in place in 1996 to halt a dumping investigation.
Rather than going the lawsuit route, the Dover-based Florida Strawberry Growers Association is fortifying production and marketing and studying competition.
Florida growers are examining the vulnerabilities of their competitors as well as their own and seeing what they can do better, said Ted Campbell, executive director.
He said any competitive advantage is transient and that Florida's growers need to pay attention to the challenge and improve varieties.
"Mexico is a valid competitor and is doing what any competitor should do and they're pretty good at it," Campbell said.
"We have to make sure we are minding our business correctly so we can remain competitive. Competition can either kill you or make you a lot better."
One solution is to drive more demand to accept increasing world production and start building consumer recognition for Florida's fruit.
During a July lunch with Florida Gov. Rick Scott, the governor asked Campbell to name the five things that make Florida strawberry growers better than anyone else.
Campbell said he likes that business logic and said any business is in trouble if it can't list its competitive advantages.
Why should the consumer care? And what makes Florida berries different?
Those are questions Florida's strawberry industry needs to tackle.
Because growers ship in a commodity world, the work will be in getting consumers to recognize those advantages.

Kristen Kelly is a brand new artist on the country scene, releasing her first EP on October 30th, 2012, although her slow-burning lead single 'Ex-Old Man' hit the charts in May. This bluesy song with a driving bassline had me 'grooving' from first hearing it, about a scorned woman whose best friend was having an affair with her now ex-husband. "I've got an ex-old man and an ex-best girlfriend" is a particularly catchy line that peppers this song's back-to-basics feel. Twangy electric guitar fills out later parts of a song that from the line "got a damn good reason for this drink in my hand" sounds like a rant/confession to a barman or an equally lonely fellow drinker lending an ear. It has a very rootsy feel to it sonically and lyrically, it's blunt and in-your-face and feisty and although the video isn't too much to write home about (alright but a little average and doesn't really match the song musically) I think this is a great place for Kristen to start from.
The second song, 'He Loves To Make Me Cry' has vocals that sound so much like Kelly Clarkson that I did a double-take! It's a little old-school in that it sounds like the soul of the late 90s/early 00s, and continues the bluesy vibe in a more obvious way. I literally cannot help but sway when I listen to this, it has a really infectious vibe and its tribute to power ballads has a huge singalong factor for pouring your heart out. I feel like musically though the song should have been about a bad man making her cry, but instead it's good tears. With the bluesy soul aspects of the song I feel like it would have had far more impact and connected with far more people if it had been negative, but maybe that's just me.
'Drink Myself Out Of Love With You' is a lot more upbeat and far more in the Honky-Tonk vein. The lyrics are fairly simple, your typical country drinking song after a break-up. This is definitely a break-up song for the Pistol Annies type of girl as opposed to the Taylor Swift type of girl! It's a bar song that packs a punch, and although it's not really anything knew, it's always nice to see some feminine attitude make its way onto country radio. It's songs like these which are closest to the kind of material the men of Nashville are releasing, and it always baffles me a little that male and female styles seem to be so different still. Either way, this song is good and will definitely be great live, a real crowd-pleaser.
The final song on the EP is 'Miss Me', dropping down in pace but still keeping the bluesy feel that seems to be where Kristen is settling in her niche. This takes a slightly different stance to the other songs in that she's in a relationship, hoping her man will miss her 'every time I'm gone'. Electric guitar that provides the riff and Kristen's soul-filled vocals glide over the accompaniment.
Overall this is a good EP with clear highlights such as the catchy lead-off single, but we've generally heard most of this before. I think Kristen Kelly definitely has more to give, and we need more feisty females in this industry, but right now we're simply working on potential. It's a good start and worth a buy, but I look forward to a full album and further material from her.
You can buy the EP here.

'Anything Goes'
ALL ABOARD for this saucy and splendid production of Roundabout Theatre Company's ANYTHING GOES, winner of three 2011 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and Choreography! One of the greatest musicals in theater history, Cole Porter's first-class musical comedy is sailing Las Vegas, while it continues a triumphant run on Broadway where The New York Times calls it "MUSICAL-COMEDY JOY" and USA Today hails it as "GLORIOUS and EXUBERANT!"
When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention get tossed out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this timeless classic are some of musical theater's most memorable standards, including "I Get a Kick Out of You," "You're the Top," and of course, "Anything Goes." Don't miss what the AP exclaims as, "So DELIGHTFUL, So DELICIOUS, So DE-LOVELY!"
