Johnny Horton is best remembered for historical songs about the War of 1812, the Civil War, the late-19th century Alaskan gold rush and World War II. But when he started out he was just a plain ol' country singer more interested in fishing and hunting than just about anything else. Born in Los Angeles, had he stayed there I probably wouldn't be writing about him now. But as it turns out, his family traveled back and forth between Texas and California, taking jobs picking cotton or fruit, giving Johnny a decidedly rural outlook and love of outdoors. After high school he considered the ministry and a basketball career and was later employed in the mailroom of Selznick International Pictures (where he met his first wife, Donna Cook, who worked in the movie studio's office). In 1949 he moved to Alaska and took a job as a fisherman. But this young man couldn't sit still for long. When he returned to the 48 states, he began following a music career.
Johnny started entering talent competitions, winning one hosted by disc jockey Jim Reeves (before his own successful singing career) in Henderson, Texas, where Johnny had spent time as a child. Further exposure through other contests led to a TV gig in 1950 with Cliffie Stone on his Hometown Jamboree show broadcast on KLAC-TV ("Lucky 13") in Los Angeles and his own radio show on KXLA in Pasadena as The Singing Fisherman. He made his first records soon after for a small label, Cormac, the first being a tune called "Plaid and Calico." The Cormac recordings were pretty standard stuff, but more live bookings came as a result for Horton and his backing band The Rowley Trio, later known as Johnny Horton and the Roadrunners. When the label closed its doors shortly afterward, Johnny's manager Fabor Robinson started Abbott Records and several singles were released over the next year or so, though it was Reeves who gave Abbott its first big hit with country chart-topper "Mexican Joe" in the spring of 1953.
Johnny began peforming on the syndicated Louisiana Hayride radio show, based in Shreveport, around the time he got his Abbott contract, staying with the show long enough to cross paths with Elvis Presley in '54. Divorced from Donna by that time, he had married Billie Jean Jones in September 1953. She was the widow of the great Hank Williams, who had died in the back seat of a car on January 1 of that year after a little more than two months of marriage. The Horton union would last much longer than that, but with an eerily similar end. Johnny settled in Shreveport when he joined the Hayride and later released a dozen singles on Mercury Records including "All For the Love of a Girl," yet none achieved anything more than regional popularity.
Horton's career took a major turn for the better when he split from Mercury and manager Robinson. Musician-manager Tillman Franks of Shreveport had taken the career of Webb Pierce to great heights (including several number one country hits by the mid-'50s) and Johnny leaped at the chance to sign with him. Within months he was on the roster of one of the biggest record companies, Columbia. Howard Hausey (better known as Howard Crockett, a future Motown act!) had written "Honky Tonk Man," and during the time Johnny spent around Elvis, something must have rubbed off. The session (with Presley bassist Bill Black sitting in) had more of a rock and roll feel than anything he'd done previously, and in spite of radio's skepticism regarding the hybrid style, the song hit the country charts in May, coming close to the top ten the following month. The Franks and Horton-penned follow-up, "I'm a One Woman Man," was recorded at the same session with an identical arrangement and went top ten C&W in the fall. The Singing Fisherman had made it; he was a full-fledged hit-making country singer! "I'm Coming Home" and "The Woman I Need" were fair-sized hits the following year, but walking a line between country and rock (and dabbling in the teen sound with "All Grown Up" in '58) seemed to keep him in a middle zone, unable to climb any higher in the country field. In 1959, a change of subject matter sent him to the top as a country act while also breaking him through to the mainstream.
Franks came up with a song Johnny Horton could relate to, having spent at least one lengthy stretch fishing in the frozen north. "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)," which name-dropped locations like Point Barrow, Fairbanks and Kodiak against a love triangle that doesn't end well for the singer in a place called the Red Dog Saloon, he struck gold (but didn't have to mine for it). The song hit number one on the country charts at the end of March 1959; it didn't hurt that Alaska had become the 49th state on January 3 and was a hot topic of conversation at the time of the single's release. Many involved felt they'd reached the pinnacle, but Johnny expected more - he wanted a big crossover pop hit. And he got it with the next record, a humorous, banjo-pickin' retelling of a historical conflict.
The final battle of the War of 1812 occurred on January 8, 1815 when future U.S. president Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson and his troops defeated British opposition in New Orleans. Afterwards an instrumental tune commemorating the event, "The Eighth of January," was popular. Jimmy Driftwood added lyrics to the song in 1958, giving it the obvious title "The Battle of New Orleans." Horton's version the following year became a runaway smash, holding number one on the pop and country charts from May to July, one of 1959's biggest hits, ultimately winning two Grammys: one for Best Country and Western Performance and the other to Driftwood for Song of the Year.
Follow-up "Sal's Got a Sugar Lip," another Driftwood song, took a lighter approach than earlier releases, then came a series of history-based "saga" songs. Merle Kilgore's "Johnny Reb" told of the everyman Confederate solider fighting on the losing side of the Civil War. The 1941 sinking of the German battleship Bismarck by Britain's Royal Navy during World War II was recounted in "Sink the Bismark" (the song's title inexplicably misspelling the ship's name). Released at the same time as the movie Sink the Bismarck! starring Kenneth More and Dana Wynter, the tie-in worked to the advantage of both film and song, and Horton was back in the top ten in April 1960.
The success of those folksy history-based songs resulted in several derivative efforts in '59 and '60, including a reference to Napoleon Bonaparte in the summer '59 hit "Waterloo" by singer Stonewall Jackson (a descendant of the famous Confederate general of the same name), released by Columbia with a picture sleeve similar to Horton's cartoony "Battle of N.O." cover. Homer and Jethro's parody "The Battle of Kookamonga" reduced the New Orleans conflict to the level of scout camp pranksters, and in the October 1960 chart-topping hit "Mr. Custer," Larry Verne reminisced about the arrows he'd dodged at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Marty Robbins and Bud and Travis had competing versions that fall of "The Ballad of the Alamo," tied to the release of the John Wayne-directed blockbuster The Alamo, starring Wayne, Richard Widmark and Frankie Avalon.
While everyone else was focused on wars and famous battles, Johnny Horton took another direction, heading "North to Alaska" to tell a simple love story composed by Mike Phillips, set against the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s. The theme for the film of the same title starring John Wayne, Stewart Granger, Fabian and Capucine (released just one month after Wayne's Alamo), it put Johnny back at number one on the country charts and top ten pop at the beginning of 1961. There was one huge problem, though: he wasn't around to enjoy this latest triumph. In early November he had a strange premonition that his death would be caused by a drunk, telling everyone close to him about how strongly he felt it would come true. Driving home to Shreveport (he had a phobia about flying) with Tillman Franks and one other passenger after a November 5 show at the Skyline Club in Austin, Texas, a head-on collision near Milano (about 70 miles to the east) took his life. The two passengers survived and the intoxicated driver of the other vehicle suffered no injuries. But his premonition had come true.
Johnny Horton's wife, Billie Jean, became the widow of two great country artists; the Skyline Club in Austin was also the last venue Hank Williams had played before his death several years earlier. You can file that one in your "stranger than fiction" folder. Using the name Billie Jean Horton, she recorded "Ocean of Tears," a song having nothing to do with the deaths of her two famous husbands, yet the title somehow seemed appropriate. It was a minor country hit ten months after Johnny's death.
As a teenager in the '70s I was on a Horton kick for awhile. My friends and I would cruise Whittier Boulevard on Saturday nights; a long route, stretching all the way from East Los Angeles to Whittier and back again. The music blasting from everyone's car speakers was the hard rock of the day with a smattering of the disco movement in its early stages. Always the intentional outsider, I preferred to crank up '50s and '60s tunes on my cassette stereo, if nothing more than to see the reactions from the crowds on the street and other drivers. One of our favorites was "The Battle of New Orleans," particularly the song's most graphic segment: 'We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down, so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round...we filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind, and when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind!' The result was a lot of puzzled looks and the occasional thumbs up. We were just doing our part to keep Johnny Horton's memory alive. His legend continues today.

Georgetown forward Greg Whittington suffers torn ACL
Georgetown forward Greg Whittington's return next season is now in jeopardy because of a torn ACL in his left knee suffered within the past two weeks, a source told CBSSports.com on Tuesday. Coach John Thompson III later confirmed the report.
"Greg will return when he is 100 percent healthy," Thompson said. "I feel for Greg because he's worked extremely hard to prepare for the coming season, on and off the court. I'm confident this is just another setback that in the end will make him even stronger. At this point, there is no specific timetable for his return."
Whittington averaged 12.1 points and seven rebounds in 13 games last season before being ruled academically ineligible. The Hoyas still finished 25-7 and were co-Big East champs with Marquette and Louisville, the latter of which won the national title.

O God,These prayers come from all of us. Someone prays on our behalf, but theprayers belong to everyone, and come from our hearts more than from ourmouths. In some ways none of us really knows how another feels, becauseeach of us must struggle with his own fears, cope with his own problems,hurt from his own pains, search for his own goals, forgive and be forgivenhis own failures. In such matters, God, when we seek understanding andhope for encouragement, it is to you that we turn. In moments such asthese, we reach beyond ourselves and our troubles to you...asking not somuch for things, but for a second or two of your presence. Just yourslightest touch, and the day will be blessed, the raw spots will be healedand there will be peace in the hours ahead. And so we pray to youDear God, Almighty, Everlasting One--all of us--giving thanks forthis moment, your touch and our healing. Amen.

Those candidates, needing to reach beyond their traditional bases, are scrambling for voters outside their own party. And the competition for opposite-party support has reached ferocious proportions in the high-spending, nationally watched clash between seasoned Democratic Reps. Brad Sherman and Howard Berman.
The onetime allies have been battling over the same San Fernando Valley congressional seat since new political maps put their homes into the same district.
Democrats outnumber Republicans in the district 48% to 26%, with 21% of voters unaffiliated with any party. Both candidates have stepped up their wooing of voters not traditionally prone to supporting Democrats when they had an alternative.

Sycamore is located in Spring Hill southwest of Overland Park and Kansas City off US 169 routed through a natural area without homes or development along the holes.
The front nine is more of a links style design while the back is over rolling hills and valleys through tree lined fairways. It's a demanding shotmaker's delight providing a number of risk/reward opportunities with a modest amount of sand traps and several water features. The golf course was designed by Jim Colbert and Baxter Spann in 2000, and plays to 7,081 yards from the back tees, 76.0/150, course/slope ratings with 4 other sets of tees.
One of the distinctive features of Sycamore Ridge is the contrast between the front and back nines. The front nine is more of a links style with rolling fairways, few trees and rough bordered by deep native grasses. The back nine has rolling wooded hills with some serious elevation changes. All golfers who played Sycamore Ridge end up preferring one nine to the other. On the front nine, the par 5 ninth stands out as a challenging hole. Off the tee there is a wide landing area before a narrow dogleg right with trees and deep rough in the bend. Anyone playing driver risks missing the narrow fairway beyond the dogleg. The green is deep but skinny and has a long and deep bunker on the right. The par 5 sixth is the number one handicap hole with a bifurcated fairway. The end of the first fairway is lined with bunkers so anyone going for the second fairway risks deep trouble. On the back nine I've always liked no. 10, a par 4 with a fairway that slopes down after about 150 yards, leaving a difficult downhill lie for a second shot. No. 16 is a long par 5, 600 yards from the black tees with two fairways. The first fairway slopes up from the tee boxes. After the end of the first fairway, there is a large waste area and a drop in elevation. The second fairway also slopes up to a green that is tucked to the right.
Sycamore Ridge is one of our favorite courses to play in the KC area. We played yesterday, and the course was in good shape, even with the dry and hot summer we've had. Always prefer the front nine here over the back, it's more of a links style with rolling fairways, few trees and rough bordered by deep native grasses, while the back side is more traditional parkland style. Rates are a little expensive, but for the course quality and facilities, it's in line with some of the better courses in town.
Can always count on a good round of golf here, nice conditions, and treated well in the golf shop and clubhouse. Pace of play yesterday was just OK at 4.5 hours, kind of what you've come to expect here.
Course was very nice. Very difficult also. You'll use every club in your bag.

GBI tries to identify burned remains of I-85 crash victim
Driver of truck was burned beyond recognition in fatal accident Friday
CARNESVILLE, Ga. - Authorities in Franklin County, Ga., are hoping dental records and a truck's vehicle identification number will help them identify the driver of an 18-wheeler killed Friday night in a fiery crash on Interstate 85.
Franklin County Sheriff Stevie Thomas said this weekend that the driver's remains were sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Crime Lab in hopes the agency could make a positive identification.
Thomas said the accident happened about 5:30 p.m. Friday on I-85 south near Exit 164 in Carnesville. He said the truck turned over on its side and then burst into flames.
Rescuers were not able to get to the driver because of the flames, and he died at the scene.
Both lanes of traffic were blocked for hours while crews worked to put out the fire and remove the wreckage.
According to Thomas, the flames were so intense the truck burned completely, and authorities were not able to get the name of the trucking company.
The driver, he said, was burned beyond recognition along with all of his identification.
Investigators said, have been able locate the truck's VIN but as of Sunday were still trying to determine where the truck came from.

Michael Beasley's future in particular has been the topic of much debate as the final days of his original rookie contract pass by. The Wolves have an $8.2 million qualifying offer that is a high price tag for a player who has been a disappointment since being drafted second overall in 2008.
But Beasley made no secret on Saturday that he hopes to be back to the franchise that traded for him after the Miami Heat essentially gave up on him after two seasons, shipping him to Minnesota for two second-round picks.
"Like I've said before many times, I would love to comeback and be a Timberwolf," Beasley said. "I love it here."
Beasley's season has once again been hampered by injuries. He has played in only 42 of the 62 games this season and is averaging 11.2 points per game, down from 19.2 a season ago. Beasley lost his starting spot after spraining his foot early in the season and has come off the bench in his last 33 appearances.
He has taken the demotion of sorts in stride and continues to say the right things but does admit to frustration by the inconsistent minutes.
"My situation is a little different than others," Beasley said. "Of course, it is frustrating, but I am here for the team. I am not here for myself. I am only one person. I am here for the team. As long as we progress and go forward as a team, I am happy.
"But as far as me and the summer time, where I want to play, if I am going to return, I am just going to let everything play itself out."
The theme of Beasley's inconsistent two years in Minnesota has been injuries. He suffered a sprained ankle at the turn of the calendar that held him out of nine games. Anxious to get back on the court, Beasley never really allowed the injury to fully heal, making him ineffective and slowing any momentum he gained from a positive first two months of the season.
Beasley admits he can't help but think about where he might be if it weren't for the two injuries that hampered the past two seasons. But for now, he said he's just focusing on finishing this season strong and letting the summer play out however it plays out.
Wolves coach Rick Adelman said he has been specifically monitoring guys such as Beasley and Anthony Randolph and there is plenty of time left to leave an impression on him heading into the offseason.
"I would be lying if I said I didn't think about (my future). Everybody has been talking about it," Beasley said. "I just go day-by-day. It is not going to change everything I do in the summer. Still going to work out, work on my game, come back with something new."

In an effort to help protect indigenous lands and other protected areas from invasion, Ricardo and his colleagues at CEDI put together a comprehensive on-line mapping system. The maps not only gave information on topography and vegetation, they also showed activity in a given area, such as invasions and planned dam sites. Ricardo has since established a new organization – the Social Environmental Institute. This action-oriented group is composed of leaders from the strongest NGOs in Brazil. The institute deals with environmental, indigenous and general social action issues to help bridge the gulf between environment and development.
Beto Ricardo, a founder of one of Brazil's most important social, environmental and human rights organizations, the Center for Ecumenical Documentation and Information (CEDI), has been a pioneer in advancing the links between human rights and environmental protection for over 25 years.
When Brazil was drafting a new constitution in 1988, Ricardo prepared an important report in support of indigenous rights and the future of the Amazon. As a result of the national concern that was generated, indigenous people were given stronger guarantees in the new constitution. In 1989, CEDI was instrumental in laying the groundwork for an alliance between Indians and rubbertappers, two groups who coexist in Brazil's vast rainforest, but who had traditionally fought each other. Ricardo also co-founded the Committee for the Creation of the Yanomami Park (CCPY). In the years surrounding the creation of CCPY, the Yanomami had been invaded by over 45,000 gold miners. In 1991 President Collor issued a decree creating a continuous reserve of 94,000 square kilometers for the Yanomami people. In 1993 some of the miners who had been forced from the area returned and massacred at least 20 Yanomami.

Defense must be stingy
The Dolphins did a good job against the Bills on 3rd down and in the red zone. In fact, they kept the Bills offense out of the end zone despite allowing them in the red zone for 4 tries. The Dolphins 3rd down defense was bad against the Colts and bad against the Titans. They must get off the field when 3rd and long opportunities present themselves. We all watch the games and know how frustrating it is to see a team convert on 3rd and 11, right? It deflates the defense even more than it pisses us off! The Dolphins must make the most of their chances and tighten up on defense on 3rd down.
They must continue their stingy ways when the Seahawks enter the red zone too. The Seahawks rank #27 in the NFL in yards per game on offense….the Dolphins' offense ranks #29, by the way. The Seahawks rookie QB has a QB rating over 90, which means he's efficient with the football and can make plays down the field. Wilson is a good athlete, so the Dolphins must prepare for rollouts, boots, and waggles, especially in the red zone. The Dolphins must limit the Seahawks to field goal opportunities and not allow them to put up 7.
Play with some pride
For cryin' out loud, Dolphins, win a freaking home game! The last time the Dolphins were in front of their fans at home, they were getting boed off the field and losing to the Titans (who still stink), 37-3. It's time for the Dolphins to play with a little pride. The offense can't possibly be as bad as they've looked in the last 3 games. And the defense can't be as bad as the one that allowed a rookie QB to throw for more yards than any other rookie QB, ever…..and that same defense that allowed the Titans Jake Locker to pick them apart with his arm and his legs.
Seriously, forget about any playoff possibilities….For one Sunday, play like your hair is on fire….run around like crazy men for 3 hours….hit somebody and make them remember it….knock the man you're blocking on his butt….throw the ball in that tight window…..make that tough catch over the middle….run with some freaking authority…..Just play with some damn emotion and pride fellas!
We'll have our official prediction on Sunday morning, but I have to say that I'm leaning towards the Dolphins, even though I have absolutely no reason to have faith in them. I know Joe Philbin doesn't like losing and I know that he hasn't slept much in the last week. I think we'll see some new wrinkles on offense and I really can't emphasize how tough it will be for the Seahawks to travel cross-country to play a 1pm EST game. I think it's a close game, but right now I'm leaning ever-so-slightly towards the Dolphins. We'll see if I can talk myself out of it by Sunday morning!

Kenton NationalsHas anybody out there ever attended the Kenton National Coon Dog Field Trials or Kenton Nationals?
This was an event held on labor day weekend each year in Kenton, Ohio. I believe it was started in the mid 1950's but I a not sure. I attended every year from 1990 to 2002 except for 1996. I was introduced to the event from an avid coon hunter from North Carolina.
People seemed to attend from all over the country, as evidenced by the licence plates on the vehicles. There was a large campground and people could also set up as vendors. It was one large flea market, although it centred on hunting dogs. It seemed to grow in size each year that I attended.
The event is no longer happening. It was cancelled as far as I know for 2009, but was on in 2010 and 2011, although guns, dogs and anything hunting seemed to be unwelcome. I can only guess at this as the best I can come across is snippets from a few scattered interent postings. Such a large and popular event seems to have vanished and is apparently forgotten, almost totally off the radar.
I have been told that a similar event has been organized up near Lima Ohio, but I may be wrong about the location.
The old event seemed to be a great model of mid west and southern culture. I still remember the many characters that would attend on a regular basis.
I understand that the man who founded the event had passed away several years prior to it ending, but I have never been able to find any information on that, just a lot of speculationa and rumors about what may have happened to the event, which I will not repeat here.
If anbody else remembers or went there, let me know, share your story.
I'm an aussie and if you were there in 94 you may have seen me there I was working on a friends stall selling mainly the official join dog trial tshirts as well as cross bows and knives.
It was a real eye opener that's why I googled it and came across your post.
Seeing people spend the weekend trading guns including Amish and I even saw an inbred family with the odd shaped heads.
A weekend I'll never forget.
I remember going as a little boy with my dad, every year close to Labor Day I looked forward to going, the best times of my life were watching the people go by with anything and everything that you could imagine. guns,bows,knives you name it it was there all you had to do was look hard enough and you would find it, I spent countless hours walking over all those rows looking at thing.just buying and selling trading was the best fun that you could have, and I remember watching a lawn mower pulling a small trailer with a picnic table in it and it full of people drinking, they drove by in all that mud and as they stopped for the crowd they started whooping and going on I will never forget as they started to take back off the driver popped the clutch and the trailer came loose and drunks and beer and liquor went skyward, just good times they said and hooked back up and collected what wasn't broken or spilled and off they went. I still have some of the hats and shirts that I gathered over the years, and as I found them again I started looking online to see if the event still went on. I have hats and shirts saying " Leafy Oaks Field Trials" that was the first few years I attended. I never missed a year of going with my Dad and I wont ever forget the things that we did there those are some of my favorite memories with him, the dogs barking all night, Traders Row, getting breakfast on main row, the people were the best if you spoke to someone they always spoke back and more than likely they would talk with you like you known each other for years, the music at night as you walked down the rows, the smell of camp fires burning, tromping around the place in mud knee deep, just the whole experience was the best times of my life. And I am proud to say that I was there for many years and I wouldn't trade any one of those years being tired from walking so much or covered in mud from head to toe for a million dollars that time with my Dad was worth more to me than gold, I was planning on getting him and making one last trip but I was told that it has been stopped and I feel bad that it had to end but as long as I live we still have those memories to share and stories to tell the kids and grandchildren I am going to miss it
I went in the 50's. We went every year for a week of camping. Loved going. I even had pins of the years I went. People don't coon hunt anymore. I am finding people who have these dogs tend to have them for inside pets. Which, was not in my days. Good times!! And I am a female.
I started going to kenton in 94, my father had been going since the mid 70's and had never missed a year. When I started going we were leaving in Texas at the time. That first year my dad drove up earlier in the week and I flew up on thursday since I was in school. I had a blast the first year. Meet alot of new people that over the years have become some really great friends. We went all the way up to the year they closed. When the guy that had started it died his daughter took over and over the years had started to try and change it to be more family friendly then what it had been. By making a lot of changes and rules.
For years we camped out in the only camping area and you had to be there early when the gates opened to get a spot close to flea market area. So we decided to try and get a vender lot. Since we would have the same lot every year and we would be right in the middle of it all. That first year we tried, we got a lot down on row 19 lot 22. I will never forget that number. That was 2000 I believe. From there till 2008 we kept that lot and couldn't wait to meet our neighbors each year. We were about 6 months out from Kenton when we got a letter in the mail from them telling us that they were not going to be having it because of the recession and the cost of insurance was going to be to high. As you can guess we were pretty mad, we had already requsted the days off and had started making plans to go. So we decided instead to make a reservation at a campground in Va and take the whole family. About a month out from labor day weekend we get a call from one of our neighbors at kenton. Telling us that a guy named max decided to through his own thing since kenton was no more. Unfortunately for us we could not cancel our camping trip as it was a holiday week and we would have to pay for it if we did. So we missed the first year of Max's. But we put in for it as soon as we could for the following year. And we have been going ever since. Theres been some plus's and minuses to Maxs. The big plus is theres electricity on the lots so no more noisy generators. But we cant have fire pits which is one of the things we loved to cook over. But we have learned to adjust.
I was never allowed to go when I was a kid...late 1950s. My dad wouldn't even let me go with the family - I guess he thought the crowd was too rough. But it was a big deal every fall. I was raised in West Mansfield, and the Legion had food and beer stands there as well as other community groups. I'm sorry to hear it doesn't exist any longer.
I have been searching to see if this show still exists. My dad took me here the first time in the late 80's and I had no idea as a kid that it would be one of the coolest places i would go in my life. Even though i was born in Toledo, my mom moved us to the Bronx N.Y. at a very young age, so when we would visit our Dad he would take my Brother and I to cool places like this, on his 58 Pan head. me in the front and my brother on the back. I remember just seeing all those cool farmers walking around with rifles and hand guns over their shoulders and on their hips, and being in awe, remembering that i needed to be cool to fully enjoy the experience and come back. Rows and rows of stuff. i always felt like it was cooler to try to trade or barter knives and stuff you had. everybody was cool and everybody had dogs, which i remember barked all night long, adding to the experience. There was a auction as well, as you walked towards the flea market through traders row (i think it was called) and the night time dog races were awesome. The first dog to hit the tree, and the first one to bark I think were the wagers. And one terrified Coon. As I got older we drove and camped with my Dad and stepmom Lori, who passed 6 yrs ago, boy when I think back, that was such an awesome place, glad we were all able to experience it together.
My husband and I started going in a 1980, then we got our own spot in row 19 down from the bathrooms. we had it there till 2008, in 2009 they closed that year, then the next they gave our spot away, but we got another a few spots down from ours. We had the same neighbors for all them years, then they screwed us.
My Husband went the next year but only as a walk in, we did not set up, and they had a mess... the venders were so scattered that you had to walk a long way before you got another vender. Our neighbors that was there on their normal spot had nobody around them, they were out in the field all by themselves. My husband started going to Lima not setting up and have liked it. The NEW owners I believe was his children ruined a good thing, and they are paying for it now, everybody is going to Lima now . Its a shame it was a great time and met allot of ppl =great memories=
yes it has been moved to lima at the fair grounds-- i went to kenton for yrs and have been attendin this one in lima since it began-- still a GREAT TIME and growin larger every yr-- not as crazy as kenton but still alot of the folks from the old coonies r still going-- check out the website:http://maxsfleamarketandwaterdograces.com/ and also see pictures there
I attended these field trials as a teenager from 1970-76 with Tom & Ralph Angelo from Honeoye NY. I helped them train their dogs and attended races in New York Pennsylvania and Ohio almost weekly from April-October every year. What a life I had growing up is all I can say!
I knew Tom and Ralph Angelo from NY. My dad is Doug Wickham and we raced dog. My dad and brother still race the dog but there is not as many races as before.
hi i dont know if anybody will read this but my grandfather was one of the men that started it in the early 1950s then he was killed by a train in 1957 back then it was called leafy oak i think was only there couple of times
I am sooo sad-it has been awhile since I was there but used to go every year-not gonna go if in Lima-the best part was huge flea market and camping-people had perm spots to camp allways the same people around you it was like a reunion-so sad
I attended the Kenton National one year, I was friends with Stew and Helen Plank back in the mid 70's. I had a blast watching the races and walking their dogs, Fog and Smog if I remember correctly.
I remember the Planks and yes the dogs I remember Fog and Smog. My dad and brother still race the does. My dad is Doug. wickham

The Kenton Coondog Trials are now held in Lima Ohio. It has been renamed Max's Flea Market, google it. It is still on Labor Day weekend as well. I guess in Kenton they were unable to come to an agreement with the Coondog Trials (whoever handled it) and that is why they moved it to Lima. They don't have all the events they had in Kenton, they still have the water dog races and the dog climbing contest and things like that. I have not been to it sense it has been moved to Lima but heard the grounds are much nicer there, in Lima there is more room, there are more vendors selling things and paved parking and walking areas, which was a big problem in Kenton after a good rain. We are reserving a vendor spot there this year and it will be the first time that we seen it out there in Lima, so I am hoping it is every bit as nice as I have heard. Hope to see you there.

TV Squad Contest: Invent a TV condition, celebrate Scrubs in syndication
In celebration of Scrubs arriving in syndication, five days a week (starting September 18), we've got some great prizes in store for you, including a $250 Best Buy gift card or a 15-inch LCD television, and ten runner-up prize packs that include Scrubs labeled hats, stainless steel coffee mug, clipboard and light pen.
So, what do you need to do to win one of these great prizes? Read on below for details!
All you need to do to enter the contest is invent a fake and humorous medical condition related to television and define it. For example:
TiVosis: A condition in which a person will, in every day situations, think they can pause, rewind and skip forward through conversations.
Yeah, that's actually a strange condition I had in the first month I owned my TiVo, but thankfully (and sadly) I now know that's not true. Your invented condition can be related to anything with TV, including show titles, technology and actors. Also, your entry must be your own idea -- no copying from others. Post your entries in the comments below.
Enter as many times as you like, and take your time -- the contest will run for three weeks, then we will choose the best entry from the bunch. That best entry will win either a $250 Best Buy gift card or a 15-inch LCD television (winner's choice). Ten runners-up will win the Scrubs prize pack shown below. We'll announce the winners in three weeks boith here and via email (just to the winners). Good luck!

Britney Spear Works With Will.I.Am
February 27, 2011 12:34 PM
Sure I could have went with a more current Brit Brit image, but why not the old school bikini shot? Sex sells right? Anyway, this post has nothing to do with her looks, but for once, her music. I tracked down a fun little leak on the web courtesy of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Will.I.Am.[/lastfm] who produced the track.
It's the standard peas electro pop kind of sound but with some cool piano samples. I kind of dig it, tell me what you think.

Frequently Asked Questions About Waste Diversion
More FAQ's
Submit your questions to email@example.com
Are Frozen Food Packages Recyclable?
Paper vs Plastic: Can Laminated Paper Be Recycled?
Can you compost Paper Towels? Yes!
I have a bunch of books I don't need... what should I do?
I'm an off-campus student. What are the rules for Santa Clara's curbside recycling program?
I have a stack of carbonless copy forms that I can't use. Is it harmful to recycle this kind of paper?
Quick answer: Nope, carbonless paper can be safely recycled like most other paper.
What is carbonless paper?
Carbonless paper is typically used when filling out forms. It consists of sheets of paper (usually of different colors) that are coated with micro-encapsulated dye or ink and/or reactive clay. Pressure applied to the top sheet breaks tiny micro-capsules on the backside of the paper, which then react with the clay on the top the next sheet to form a permanent mark. This is repeated for however many sheets are in the stack, often resulting in stronger markings near the top sheet and fainter markings near the bottom sheet. Carbonless paper can be used for longhand as well as mechanical writing, such as typewriters.
Carbonless paper should not be confused with carbon paper, a black inky sheet placed between two sheets of paper to make a pressure copy. Carbon paper cannot be recycled.Read More »
I live in Sunnyvale and have a lot of old papers lying around; do I have to recycle it separately from my newspapers?
I am confused about the mixed recycling program. What belongs in mixed recycling, and where do I put recyclables?
Mixed recycling:
- Cardboard gets flattened and placed near paper recycling containers.
- E-waste and Universal waste depends on the location. In residence halls, these can be placed on the ground below the "e-waste" sign, or recycled at the building's service desk. In campus offices and other buildings, these items are either picked-up or mailed to Facilities.
We are in bit of a confusing time right now, as we update and standardize our recycling containers. We appreciate your patience!Read More »
How do I recycle textbooks?
Textbooks can be recycled along with any type of paper. Because texbooks are quite heavy and have sharp corners, do NOT place them in blue paper recycling bags. Instead, please request a sturdy paper recycling container from Facilities.
Either call x4742, e-mail email@example.com, or place a work order through AIM.Read More »
Does SCU recycle hard and soft cover books?
What do I do with printer/copy paper packaging?
Paper ream packaging IS RECYCLABLE.
In the past, these wrappers needed to be discarded in the waste bin because their waxy coating put them in a different paper recycling category.
Now, ALL PAPER TYPES can be recycled in the blue paper recycling bags near copiers, and in any container on campus labeled "recycling".
Where can I recycle newspapers?
Newspapers can be placed in any recycling receptacle.
- Residence halls: place your paper in the "recycling" bin at each residence hall's waste disposal area.
- Throughout campus: newspapers and all other paper recyclables should be placed in any bin labeled "recycling" as well as the blue recycling bags found near copiers.

Because you didn't get what you want for Christmas this year -- despite mom's heart being in the right place with that Offspring MiniDisc -- check out Fancy Tiger Clothing, which just moved into new digs on S Broadway, and is chock full of even more sleek gear, vintage goods, and housewares than ever before, all of which is worthy of buying and handing down to your eventual Offspring. Here're some of the owner's picks:
They're one of only 10 wholesalers in the country to carry popular Brit-brand Topman's notch tees, pants, and sweaters, which recall "Grandpa sitting in the ski lodge", probably because he's unable to stand... because he broke his femur... trying to ski.
Only Scott Disick dons silk ties (though he does so awesomely), so cop these Jaan J. plaid joints they describe as "vegan", which means wearing them should actually improve your posture, what with the stick now up your a**.
Already wearing clothes? Then pick up some artful, aviary-themed bottle openers from San Fran's Fluffyco, aftershave from Mile High brand Fig+Yarrow, and locally made raw leather pouches that'll fit both your iPod and a wallet in two compartments, as you gotta keep 'em separated.

Building termite mounds for a Zoo.
I found this article interesting, but I have noticed over the years that many critters use termite mounds for observation. "Monarto termite mound is a high point for long time zoo volunteer Brian Tinning." This zoo is in Adelaide Australia and this gentleman has been a volunteer there for over 40 years. Our hats off to him for his work and his dedication to wildlife.
There are many places around the world that have bigger issues with termites than Arizona. Certainly the East Coast of the US especially the southern states have more problems mainly due to more water and warmer temperatures.
Phoenix Zoo – Phoenix, Arizona celebrates 50 years.
Phoenix, Arizona celebrates 50 years.
The Phoenix Zoo is one of the largest private non-profit organizations in the country. We rely on admissions, concessions, memberships, special event and philanthropic donations for our daily operations.
By supporting the Phoenix Zoo, such donations have helped the Phoenix Zoo to serve over 42 million people since opening in 1962, care for more than 1,300 animals, including hundreds of endangered or threatened species and become the second most popular cultural attraction in Arizona, behind only the Grand Canyon.
Congratulations to the Zoo, it's a cool place to check out the animals and have some great family fun!
What is a constrictor snake?
What is a constrictor snake?
Did you know that 17 people have died in the US due to constrictor snake related incidents since 1978? The picture above is our Brown banded Black King snake and it
kills it prey by squeezing it to death. The snake wraps itself around its prey and every time it move or breaths, the grip gets tighter. Pythons and Boa Constrictors use that method while rattlesnakes bite and stand back waiting for the poison to work.
This probably grosses you out but it is life in our woods and desert areas, the law of survival. This snakes are able to dislocate their jaw and swallow prey many times their size.
Why don't you "Do It Yourself" pest control?
Why don't you "Do It Yourself" pest control?
OK I'm going to tell you my secret to pest control, wait for it, wait – You have to know your bug! Anybody can spray, anybody can use a compressed sprayer and anybody can throw granules out and about. But that isn't how it happens, the bugs just don't walk about like you and I. They hide and frankly they are very good at it. I've used this analogy often – I take my fleet of trucks to BrakeMaster's, the reason I do that is because I don't think I'm good enough at changing my brakes and I want to stop at your home. Yes I could change my own oil but why, I could have done a termite job and had more fun. Some people are into cars or music, but I'm into bugs and I'm damn good at what I do! I love what I do and everyday is exciting and different. Whether I'm investigating where the Bed Bugs are hiding or how the Roof rats got into the house. There are people are there that have spent years in college and are good at their profession just like me – 20 years at interpreting clues and signs and that is the real reason you should call ProBest Pest Management. I'm different and there is no doubt about it, I have a Post office and Zoo at my place. I love to talk with groups like the classes I teach at Chandler Environmental Center at Veterans Oasis Park and frequently host Merit Badge classes.
Honestly isn't that someone you would rather take care of those bug issues for you, maybe that honey do list will be done once or twice and then forgotten. Not with ProBest, we will put you on a revolving schedule – we won't forget! Does your significant other really understand those bugs, Dr. Bug does and he love what he does.
So please just make that simple call to ProBest Pest Management at 480-831-9328 or 623-414-0176. Do what you are good at and let ProBest handle those ugly littler bugs. It's what we do every day. Bugs don't like us but just check out our reviews on at Kudzu.com – 75+ people love us won't you? By the way we do more than bugs – we do customer service and we love it.
By the way I'm Keith V. Birkemeyer and I approve this message…..

The bats also developed White Nose conditions and also had a bad year, so this bat exhibit comes at a great time for the bats. It really is amazing that these bats really help man by eating lots of insects and pollinating plants and trees.

Rebecca Rix
Rix joined the Princeton History Faculty in 2008, completing her Yale Ph.D. the same year. Prior to that, she received numerous fellowships and awards, including Legal History Fellowships at Yale Law School and New York University Law School. Her current book, The Family and the Franchise: The Modernization of Conservative Thought, 1870-1930 focuses on Boston Brahmins and their attempts to halt woman suffrage and other progressive era reforms. These anti-suffragists insisted that the franchise was based on the male-headed family unit, not the individual human being. Exploring the world view and lives of anti-suffragists, and situating their thought in the wider political, cultural, and constitutional values that shaped them, reveals a gendered common thread among the four constitutional amendments of the 1910s and the changes in legal doctrines and political practices that fundamentally re-constituted the written law and the body politic by the mid-1920s.

The idea came from one, but became the project of many. It will be 20 years next month since roughly 900 volunteers gathered over four days to build the community playground at Barnstable West Barnstable Elementary. Members of the organizing committee from 1986 gathered at the playground Saturday to rededicate the playground and recall the year-long planning, fund-raising and community effort that resulted ion the playground.

So we just brought you the first ever look at the poster for Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II from the New York Comic Con (here), now we've got some details on the clips that were shown (three in all). Read on for Clint's report straight from the event, which is running through the weekend. Hostel: Part II hits theaters everywhere June 8.
Clint Davis writes in from the event:
"The "UNRELEASED FOOTAGE" went like this (spoiler warning):
It opens on Roger Bart and another businessman-type jogging in track suits along a canal. They're discussing sex, and it's effect one's very being; how people just "know" when you've had it. They begin to relate this to "the thing we're going to do today," which is revealed to be, of course, paying for the chance to murder someone. Fade out.
We see Bijou Phillips, another pretty girl, and a beefy guy soaping each other up (in swimsuits) while bathing in what appears to be a hot spring of some sort. The audio was a bit garbled during this first bit of this clip, but soon it's clear that they are discussing the wearabouts of a friend. Fade out.
We hade in on Heather Matarazzo's face, crying and gagged with what looks like some kind of neatly folded cloth. The camera begins to spin until her face is upside down in the frame. We pull back and it becomes clear that it is HER that is upside down, hanging from something as yet unrevealed. She begins to move backwards, crying still. We cut to a white, stone room that is lined with candles, the last of which being lit by a man in an S&M-ish mask. The room is not quite as filthy and dark as the rooms in HOSTEL 1. We see Heather's character wheeled into the room, hanging from a chain, nude, her back to the camera. We cut back to her face, still crying, pleading now behind her gag.
This fades out and the HOSTEL 2 logo fades in."
There you have it, watch for more from the New York Comic Con this week.

Jaime Colman: Walk Humbly
Jaime Colman is a dual-enrolled student. She is a senior at Abington Heights High School in Clarks Summit, PA and in class at BBC. After she graduates from college, she would like to be a teacher. She loves children and believes every child has potential no matter what their circumstance. Above all, she wishes to glorify Christ through her life and seek His heart daily.
In October 2007, she began a project through nearby Parker Hill Community Church to collect shoes for the people of Karogoto, Kenya. The project she entitled "Walk Humbly" was so successful she was invited to Washington, D.C. to participate in the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Roundtable in December 2008.
Read other In The Spotlights here.
Insight Questions
Why did you begin this project?
I told a pastor I felt God was laying on my heart to play a part in something bigger than myself. He told me about the partnership our church has with the community of Karogoto, Kenya through the 410 Bridge. He also told me they were in dire need of shoes. So I decided to do something about this small injustice and use it for my senior project.
What does "Walk Humbly" mean?
Micah 6:8 reads: "He has shown, oh man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." From this came the title.
What was your goal and how was it met?
My original goal was to collect 150 pairs of shoes. Over time, God ended up hauling in 4,200 pairs of shoes. I watched Him take the simple dream of 150 and turn it into the beautiful reality of 4,200.
How did you accomplish this?
I kicked off the shoe drive by holding a "Barefoot Mile" at my high school's track. On a rainy Saturday, 50 people showed up, donated shoes, and walked four laps around the track barefoot. I really liked this idea because it was a great way to experience what it is like every day in Karogoto. From there, bins were set up at various locations such as local schools, churches, and hospitals.
How were you able to get people Involved?
I got the word out through newspaper articles and flyers. My church and school helped advertise through announcements. But one of the biggest ways was through word of mouth. People just started telling one another and everyone thought it was so reasonable. We all have shoes in our closets that we haven't worn for years. This was a great way for them to do some house cleaning as well as provide shoes for the people of Karogoto, Kenya.
What was the response like in Karogoto?
We were able to distribute about 200 pairs of the 4,200. The council in Karogoto thought it would be best to only pass out a few of the shoes because they thought a large crowd would be too overwhelming for us. Since we only passed out 200 pairs we ran out of women's shoes at the worksite. An 11-year-old girl on our team took off her shoes and gave them to one of the women who had not yet received a pair. The rest of our team followed suit. One of the ladies from the community noticed my bare feet and offered me the shoes she had just received. I was immediately humbled. I was giving out of sheer abundance but she was giving out of pure genuine sacrifice. Two weeks after we arrived home, I received an email saying the rest of the shoes had been passed out. The email spoke of two 90-year-old women who each received a pair. One of them said: "I had given up on wearing another pair of shoes until I died."
Was the need filled there?
5,000 people showed up looking for the 4,000 pairs of shoes. That means at least 1,000 people still don't have a simple pair of shoes.
What is your plan for the future?
Right now, Walk Humbly is taking a breather. Its success is being used to honor and glorify God's name through newspapers, magazines, and speeches. A future plan for Walk Humbly would be to collect monetary donations to buy the right size shoes needed for those who have not yet received a pair.
