Dear Ken: Who played the “Soup Nazi” on “Seinfeld”? What other shows or movies has he been in?
The actor is Larry Thomas, and he was nominated for an Emmy for the role. Born Larry Thomasof, he has appeared on such TV shows as “Caroline in the City,” “Arli$$,” “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” “C.S.I.,” “Drake and Josh” and “Arrested Development.” His movie credits include “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,” “Postal,” “Not Another B Move,” and he will be in four films this year. In May he appeared in character as the temperamental soup cook at a New York Mets game where he told the crowd, “No soup for you!” I’m sure they lapped it up. |

The use of bait for hunting deer is controversial and involves a complex set of biological, social, and ethical issues. Biologically, population influences related to baiting can be important in the dissemination and maintenance of disease and can affect the natural movement, distribution, and behavior of deer. Baiting can also influence survival and reproduction of deer, particularly when it moves towards supplemental feeding. Finally, concentrations of deer at bait sites may lead to effects on other species, habitats, and ecosystems. |

Just fish in the DAM SHADE
By JOHN L. SLOAN, June 8, 2011
It is a cool, 97 degrees. Even the trees are sweating. Not Judge Dave Durham, fishing guide Richard Simms and I. We are cool and comfortable bobbing gently in the shade of Chickamauga Dam. The dam rears high above us, providing plenty of cool shade. We are fishing for bluegill. However, that is just temporary. The ‘gills are just for bait. We are cat fishing on a day that will approach record heat. Probably we will use chicken breasts, cut in strips. The ‘gills are just for insurance. |

There are several birds here in town that really miss their dinner being right at their reach. It also seems strange not to have the constant drone of the male cicadas, now that they have done their thing and gave up their life in exchange for 13 years of quiet. Do you miss them already?
A couple of weeks ago, I told you the story of the lady that was going to ride her motorcycle to church only to find her helmet was being used by a Carolina Wren for a nursery. There are always strange things in my life and I find myself coming up full circle. The other day at the Lebanon library I had been talking to this nice lady when she spotted my motorcycle helmet in my hand. She said that she was also a rider, but for the last few days she was unable to ride because some bird was using her helmet. My jaw dropped as I asked her what her name was and she said Suzy Scott! You could have knocked me over with a feather. I had received an e-mail from her just two weeks earlier describing the helmet situation. It is so nice to be able to put a face to a name. Saturday afternoon, I stopped by the Farmers Market to see what kinds of vegetables were coming in fresh off the farm. I have been lucky this spring by already picking some home-grown tomatoes from my garden. |

Louie Gasser’s children have no clue as to how many planes their father bought and sold over the decades.
“He bought an old Curtiss Jenny, an old World War I surplus plane, and he had J3s, J4s and J5s and two bamboo bombers/Cessna 78s, and there was a gold wing Stinson, a tri-motor Osprey and a Travel-Air,” recounted son Juan, mentioning some of the planes. As for sharing his passion, Gasser taught more than 500 people to fly, including dozens of World War II aviation cadets. “When the war started, they had a civilian pilot training program. Dad had his flight school, and he trained pilots on J3s for the military. After 15 hours then the military took over. He weeded out the troublemakers and those who couldn’t fly,” Juan said. “Dad test flew a lot of planes, Stinsons for Vultee (today known as Avco Aerostructures Textron), during the years of World War II before the Army ran him out.” Astonishingly, Gasser didn’t teach his children how to fly, but he did take them on numerous flights. |
