 [SEPT.

Last night's strong winds
wreaked havoc on Logan County cornfields. Some stalks are bent
over while others are completely broken off, creating a challenging
harvest ahead for local farmers. Logan County Extension
specialist John Fulton says that some of the corn was already
vulnerable because stalk rot and European corn borer feeding had
severely weakened the stalks. Many hybrids are also known for
cannibalizing the stalk to produce larger ears. All of these factors
combined made it nearly impossible for the corn to withstand the
strong winds.

How
are you getting along with your horseless carriage?
[SEPT.
12, 2000]
Like
a traveler specializing in side trips, I started by asking e-mail
questions about the current prevalence of white vehicles, moved on
to viewing specifications for several new cars and the results of
safety tests on recent models, and unexpectedly arrived at a site
dedicated to the Remember Bliss Campaign. The organization did not
seek my vote, but suggested observing a moment of silence at 5:30
p.m. on Sept. 13.

MOVIES
& VIDEOS
"I
Dreamed of Africa"
[SEPT.
12, 2000]
The
title captures it all: It is a movie set in Africa about Africa. For some 80
minutes you, the viewer, are shown the beautiful sights of Kenya (Eastern
Africa), from the rugged mountaintops to the broad savannahs to the stunning
valleys. The cinematography in this movie captures some of the great beauty of
life in Africa and presents it in its best form. There were scenes where the
view took my breath away.
