Modern-day Audubon uses art an

By Pam Sohn

Like a modern-day John James Audubon, C.E. Blevins uses art to celebrate what he sees as nature's wonder -- bird eggs.

"I have loved bird eggs since I was 4 years old," said the 84-year-old retired minister, missionary and art teacher. "Now I'm the only man in the world who lays eggs, so far as I know."

In the past 20 years, Mr. Blevins, of Apison, has sculpted and painted 25,000 to 35,000 clay eggs -- perfect replicas of the real eggs of more than 1,200 bird species.

Creating the likenesses of everything from pea-sized hummingbird eggs to 13-inch-long elephant bird eggs, Mr. Blevins has become very good at his hobby-turned-craft. His eggs and his teaching skills have been used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in teaching programs, said UTC's Dr. David Aborn.

"The eggs are extremely accurate," said Dr. Aborn, ornithologist of the department of biological and environmental sciences at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a board member of the C.E. Blevins Avian Learning Center.

The center is a museum for the massive folk-art egg collection. Mr. Blevins' chanel new bags family opened the Cohutta, Ga., facility to honor the educator and his one-of-a-kind craft and to help visitors learn about birds and art. The museum is open by reservation to group tours, said Joel Blevins, son of the artist.

Elementary and middle school students receive a biology lesson, tour the museum and participate in an art project, the younger Mr. Blevins said.

"It sounds goofy when you call somebody and say, 'I have an egg museum,'" he said, adding that people often brush him off when he tries to tout the unique effort or solicit help. "There's a virtual egg museum in Canada, but they don't have real replicas, and they don't have 1,200 species."

He said the study of eggs, called oology, has a speckled past thanks to early researchers and collectors whose zeal to take eggs contributed even to the extinction of at least one bird: the great auk.

Now it is illegal to collect either the real eggs or the real nests of wild birds without a federal permit.

The difficulty of real egg collection and their fragility in displays all added to the elder Mr. Blevins' drive to re-create nature, his son said. And what began for his father as a hobby art project soon became something more.

"Dad wanted to make eggs out of clay so kids could hold them," the younger Mr. Blevins said. "You can tell a lot about the species just by looking at the eggs."

Cavity nesters' eggs are always white because inside the holes in trees the eggs don't need camouflage and the parent bird needs to be able to find them in the dark, he said. On the other hand, field birds' eggs are colored like their nesting areas or their nests, and coastal birds' eggs are shaped differently to roll around a circle if they are disturbed or windblown, so they won't get away from the parent.

Often at the museum, the artist's grandson, Zachary Reynolds, of Atlanta, is the presenter, and the elder Mr. Blevins said he has taught Mr. Reynolds, 34, and also an artist, all he knows about making the eggs and understanding them.

"I think it's wonderful how he's taken all these resources and become a master at this," Mr. Reynolds said of his grandfather. "We want to share this collection with children to help t

Modi flays Centre for rise in

PATNA: Deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday criticised the central government for raising the prices of petrol, diesel, kerosene and LPG. He said that this would hit the life of every sections of society, particularly the poor and the middle-class.

The BJP would burn the effigy of the UPA government at all the district headquarters in the state on Saturday to protest the rise in prices of petro products. State BJP vice-president Sanjay Mayukh said that the decision with regard to the burning of the effigy of the UPA was Anaheim Mighty Ducks taken on Friday.

Modi said that the Congress-led UPA government had maintained its anti-poor stance from the outset. The hike in the prices of petroleum products had further aggravated the problem of the people suffering from skyrocketing prices of different commodities.

Increase in the price of kerosene by Rs 3 per litre is unjust and inhuman to the poor, Modi said, adding that an increase of Rs 35 per cylinder in the price of LPG would affect the kitchen budget of the middle-class.

The increase in the prices of diesel and petrol 深圳搬家 will further escalate the skyrocketing prices, Modi said. "The Bihar government strongly protests the hike in the prices of petroleum products," he said.

No Southern hospitality

NASHUA - The ball had popped into the mitt - and the mitt had hardly moved - so Alex Orsini's reaction was rather natural.

When the ball had left the hand of Travis Landry, there were two strikes, and two outs, and the cheap Strap Ceinture Granite State Big Blue held a one- run lead in the state's Senior Babe Ruth championship game, so as soon as it was squeezed in his glove, the catcher thrust both hands skyward, came out of his crouch and started sprinting toward his pitcher. He thought he was holding strike three.

"It was right down the middle, at his knees," Orsini said. "It was down the middle. Down the pipe. At his knees."

It wasn't until he'd reached the infield grass that he realized the umpire didn't see it the same way.

And it wasn't until an inning later - when Southern walked off with a 5-4 win - that everyone in Holman Stadium ultimately came to understand the significance of that discrepancy.

The call in question came during the seventh inning in the second game of a humid afternoon that had by then become as heated on the field as in the air. One coach had already been ejected, another was about to be, and rare was the pitch that passed the plate without reaction from either side.

This one came on a two-ball, two-strike count, with two outs and the tying run at second base. Had it been called a strike, Big Blue would've celebrated a fourth straight state title, and the program's 10th since 1997. But instead, as a ball, it breathed new life into the Southern bats.

Orsini was so bothered by the ruling he called time out not to relax his pitcher, but to calm himself - "That's probably the second time I've ever done that," he said - although from there the situation only became more infuriating.

As soon as Orsini was back behind the dish, Paul Trabucco took the next pitch to complete his walk, and bring red-hot cleanup hitter Brandon Cox to the plate. Already with four hits for the doubleheader, he ripped a fifth to left on a line. Outfielder Colin Lisk got to it on a hop, and came up gunning, but his throw was too late to get Jason Russo. The game was tied at four.

"I," said Blue Coach Sean Wheeler, "am going to remember that pitch for a while."

There was still the possibility "that pitch" could've been just a footnote, if Big Blue could rally to retake a lead in the eighth, but instead it stranded a pair - and then Southern made sure the day went no longer. A walk, a single and an intentional pass loaded the bases with one away in the eighth, and although Landry kept his team alive for one more out, Trabucco eventually worked a less- controversial walk to force home the winning run, and send his team to next week's New Jacksonville-Jaguars England championships as New Hampshire's representative.

"They just made one more play than we did," Wheeler said. "We didn't take advantage of the opportunities that were presented to us, and that kept the game close. At the end, it was anybody's ballgame, it was back and forth, and we didn't get the one hit we needed to break things open."

The opportunities were there throughout the afternoon for Big Blue - which, out of the winners' bracket, entered with two shots at winning the tournament. In the first game, it rallied back from five runs down in the sixth inning, but left the bases loaded after evening the score, and lost 9-7 when Southern's Matt Schagrin launched a two-run homer in the seventh.

No stopping this Senior citize

VETERAN Keith Senior uses his spare time to coach the next generation of potential Leeds Rhinos' Grand Final winners.

But Headingley's 'old timer' isn't ready to step aside for the young guns just yet.

Indeed, Senior could be last one standing in his bid to become Super League's man for every season.

One of only four players to contest every top flight campaign since 1996, the 32-year-old will definitely play it again in 2011.

And with Keiron Cunningham due to retire and uncertainty over the future of Wakefield's Paul Johnson, Senior is seeing off all the competition.

Hull's Sean Long appears his most serious threat for the "title".

The former England centre has been the one constant this year during Leeds' injuryravaged campaign.

"I still feel I have got a lot to offer this club and it looks as though they feel that as well," he said ahead of tonight's testing trip to Hull KR. "It's great to get the contract sorted out so I can focus on the end of the year.

"I may be 34 but I am not feeling it.

"I've always said while I'm feeling good and that I can do a job I will carry on.

watches-n

"I know it could all end in a couple of weeks - but it could end in two, three years. Steve Menzies (at Bradford) has shown you can still do it at 36. Brad Davis was 37. It's possible to play at the highest level."

Leeds kick-off at Craven Park trailing leaders Wigan Warriors by nine points.

But they're four points and two places better off than hosts Rovers.

No team has ever won the Grand Final from any lower than third after the regular campaign.

"First and second have gone for us," agrees Senior.

"Realistically, we could get third but definitely fourth and that's the target.

"Teams like Hull and Huddersfield are looking to climb the table. But I think we can win the Grand Final again from third or fourth."
