REVIEW-JOURNAL
Magician Channing Pollock , who performed on the Strip and around the world — and mentored such conjurers as Lance Burton and David Copperfield — died Sunday at his Las Vegas home of complications from cancer. He was 79.
Before his 1970 retirement, Pollock "had a profound influence on the art of magic," Burton said in a statement. "He was the most emulated magician of the 20th century and perhaps the most revered."
Burton shared that reverence for Pollock, who is credited with perfecting the modern "dove" act.
"As a young boy, I idolized Channing Pollock and wanted to be Channing Pollock when I grew up," Burton recalled. "Over the past 23 years he has been a mentor to me, a teacher and one of my closest friends."
Another Strip headliner, David Copperfield, called Pollock "the perfect magician," describing him in a statement as "the James Bond of magic."
Citing his "impeccable technique" and "handsome, cool" stage presence, Copperfield said Pollock "inspired a generation of conjurers. Channing was like a second dad to many. I am one of his 'sons.'"
Pollock, born in Sacramento, Calif., on Aug. 16, 1926, began his career in 1952, touring the United States after graduating from Los Angeles' Chavez College of Magic. A master card manipulator, Pollock also "set the standard for producing doves from thin air," according to the Internet site for "Magic: The Science of Illusion," a California Science Center exhibit touring museums nationwide.
Pollock "dressed formally, smiled only at the very end of his act and inspired magicians around the world," the exhibit's Internet site noted. "His handsome face, serious air and graceful moves left nightclub audiences spellbound. As he made doves appear, he seemed to be shaping them from air with his hands. Magicians everywhere copied his moves."
A 1954 performance on television's "Ed Sullivan Show" (then titled "Toast of the Town") proved Pollock's breakthrough, leading to appearances on the "Jack Benny Summer Show" with Sammy Davis Jr. and a Hilton Hotels tour that included the United States and Caribbean.
Pollock performed for President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955, then traveled to Europe.
In addition to a Royal Command Performance for Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, Pollock participated at a performance for the 1956 wedding of Monaco's Prince Rainier to movie star Grace Kelly and later performed at their children's birthday parties.
The 1959 movie "Europe by Night," a compendium of popular nightclub acts, showcased his artistry.
After returning to the United States in 1959, Pollock appeared in the Tropicana's "Folies Bergere" and the Stardust's "Lido de Paris." He later toured with Liberace.
In addition to his renowned magic act, Pollock created an illusion show and played leading roles in several European movies, including "Musketeers of the Sea" (1960), "Rocambole" and "The Red Sheik" (both released in 1962) and "Judex" (1963).
On television, Pollock guest starred in such popular series as "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Bonanza."
He also continued to perform magic on such '60s variety shows as "The Hollywood Palace" and "The Andy Williams Show."
In addition to his wife, Joann , Pollock is survived by his son, Russell of California.
Private family funeral arrangements were pending; a Las Vegas memorial service will be at 1 p.m. May 13 at the Monte Carlo.
The family requested donations be made to the Encore Foundation, which assists magicians in need, at 4200 Wisconsin Ave. NW, PMB 106-379, Washington, D.C. 20016.

Channing Pollock, 79, Innovative Magician
==================================================
New York Sun, The (NY)-March 24, 2006
Author: STEPHEN MILLER Staff Reporter of the Sun
Channing Pollock, who died Sunday at 79, was one of the previous century's finest and most influential magicians.
Before he abruptly vanished from the stage in 1970, Pollock was seen on television and at premier venues across the country, as well as in Europe, where he performed before crowned heads. His suave good looks and tall stature, and studied elegance - he never appeared on stage without a tuxedo - also garnered him a parallel if somewhat less impressive career in European film, as well as in American TV shows, where he filled guest roles on "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Bonanza."
Pollock was a widely acknowledged master of both card magic and of magic featuring doves, which he almost single-handedly invented. Magician David Copperfield, a wunderkind in hot pursuit of Doug Henning's stage success, in 1974 cited Pollock as the magician he most wished to emulate. Ricky Jay and Lance Burton have both called his influence critical.
Yet after less than two decades at the pinnacle of his profession, Pollock dropped out, and spent the rest of his life in quieter pursuits - organic gardening, dowsing for oil and water, and vermiculture. The ethereal but illusory joy of creating a dove out of sheer silk was replaced by more earthy pursuits. Meanwhile, he partook deeply of literature on spirituality and the occult, always favorites among the prestidigitators.
Pollock grew up in Sacramento, and received his unusual name after his mother, pregnant with Pollock, met the famed Broadway playwright and essayist Channing Pollock, whom she admired greatly. As Pollock told the story, it was the playwright himself who suggested naming the new baby "Channing."
Fresh out of the Navy, Pollock used his G.I. Bill scholarship creatively, to pay for classes at the Chavez College of Manual Dexterity and Prestidigitation, in Laverne, Calif. He graduated in 1952, after studying with the magician Neil Foster, famed for his presentation of the "zombie ball," in which a silver sphere floats around in a ghostly manner.
It was at Chavez College that Pollock developed his dove tricks, inspired perhaps by the magician Cantu, who produced doves from beneath a Mexican serape. After an initial failed foray with pigeons, which are much larger and harder to hide, he settled on doves, and eventually developed a technique by which he seemed to be plucking them out of thin air. Just as suddenly, the dove would disappear, a scrap of silk wafting where it had been. The effect was stunning, even, or perhaps especially, to other magicians.
After graduating from Chavez College, Pollock stayed on to teach for a year, and then embarked on a career touring nightclubs across the country. His act was an immediate success, and in 1954,he appeared on Ed Sullivan's "Talk of the Town." He began appearing with Jack Benny and Sammy Davis Jr., and toured the Caribbean.
In 1955, Pollock performed for President Eisenhower at the annual White House Correspondent's dinner, a scene of merriment and skits. Later that year, he traveled to London, where he played the Palladium and gave a command performance for the queen. He performed at the wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier. After returning to America, he played the Stardust in Las Vegas and the Latin Quarter in New York. In later years, he toured with Liberace.
Pollock's first film appearance was in "European Nights" (1959), a documentary-style revue of nightclub acts. On the strength of that performance, he was cast alongside Robert Alda and Aldo Ray in "Moschettieri del Mare" (Musketeers of the Sea, 1960), the first of several forgettable European films Pollock starred in. In the French film "Judex" (1963), he played a costumed detective with magical skills.

Notice for James Leo Gallagher
Message: [46227] James Leo Gallagher James Leo Gallagher, 81, of Lee's Summit, Mo., passed away Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at Lee's Summit Medical Center. James grew up in Kansas City, primarily living in Northeast and also on the Eastside near 31st and Paseo Blvd. He always talked about the old street-car line that allowed him to travel any-where he wanted. He was a "Big Band" singer in the mid 40s to mid 50s and was a regular featured performer on the Tower Theater stage. At one time he was considered the Kansas City "Frank Sinatra" although that always embarrassed him. He was also a very good roller skater and regularly went to the old El Torreon Roller Rink at 31st and Gillham Rd. That is where he met his life-long love, Mar- garet. The first time he met her, he told her he "loved her and was going to marry her." She was not impressed that night but a short time later they became forever dance skating partners. They married several years later while home on emergency leave, and their union would bring about a very large, loving family. James was a very good provider and a career employee of General Motors Corporation where he began working at the Leed's Assembly Plant and later as a Supervisor at the District GM Depot in Lenexa, Kan. Throughout his career he also worked numerous part-time jobs until he and his wife started their own company. Adaire for Men, a Men's Hair- piece Custom Designs, put them on the national scene and was considered a pioneer in the field. Once their four children were grown they started enjoying the addition of new generations to come. His favorite thing in life was simply being "Papo" to all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. James was a lifelong Catholic and very happy with his membership of the recently developed parish of St. Margaret of Scotland. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate Mass Intentions and donations to the James and Margaret Gallagher Memorial Fund for Church Artifacts at St. Margaret's. He was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret June Gallagher on February 15, 2008. He is survived by his four children, Mi- chael Gallagher, Dianna & John Cress, Patricia & Patrick Scroggin, and James Gallagher II & Mindy; grandchildren Christina & Jr. Moritz, John & Sandy Cress, Shane Gallagher, Tisha Scroggin, Mindy & Ja-son Kerr, Janelle & Adam Pietrowicz, Missy & John Rockers, Tommy Scroggin, and Jas Gallagher III; and great grand-children T.J., Kaci, John, Maddie, Mary, Ali Jo, Tommy and Johnny. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Friday, August 1 at St. Margaret's of Scotland Catholic Church. Visitation will be 10-11 a.m. Friday at the church. Burial in Lee's Summit Cemetery, Lee's Summit, Mo.

Jun. 6--VISALIA -- The search is over.
College of the Sequoias trustees voted unanimously Monday to ratify a four-year contract for William Scroggins to lead the 10,000-student campus.
The 5-0 vote means that Scroggins, 58, will begin his duties as College of the Sequoias superintendent-president effective July 1 to June 30, 2010.
Scroggins, the interim president at Modesto Junior College, will receive a base salary of $175,000 a year, about $40,000 more than his current salary.
"We believe Dr. Scroggins has the talent and understanding of all facets and perspectives of a college," said board President John Zumwalt, reading from a prepared statement.
"We have confidence that Dr. Scroggins can lead the institution through the perils ahead, including the immediate need to address enrollment issues."
Scroggins said the appointment is a "culmination" of his career.
"I've spent all 32 years of my career in higher education," said Scroggins, who was the finalist at three colleges. "I can't think of a better way to cap my long career in education."
Scroggins said he will spend time getting to know the college and district communities and looking into a possible bond specific to Hanford voters to build an education center. He also will work on filling two positions: vice presidents of academic affairs and of student services.
Trustees say Scroggins has the experience, knowledge and the people to back him up.
Scroggins has served as Modesto's interim president since 2004 and holds a doctoral degree in chemistry from the University of California at Riverside. He previously served as vice president for instruction at Modesto and taught chemistry at several colleges.
The new leader certainly has the wits, said Steve LaMar, president of the college's California School Employees Association.
"If you can't find something on Google, you go to Scroogle," LaMar recalled a Modesto faculty member saying during a recent visit to the college.
LaMar said he hopes Scroggins -- who has been characterized as a visionary, thinker and doer -- will move College of the Sequoias forward in areas such as how students are learning and what teachers are teaching.
"The world is changing and we need to be there," LaMar said.
Another plus is Scroggins' experience at the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office, said Dale Norton, interim vice president of academic affairs who also served on the search committee for the new college leader.
At the chancellor's office, Scroggins was responsible for making sure that courses at the community colleges had the same degree of rigor and were transferable to four-year campuses, Norton said.
"He's worked there, and he knows the culture," Norton said.
As the district looks forward to a new leader, trustees also paid respects to outgoing superintendent-president Don Goodyear.
He had planned to retire from his position as vice president of student services last year but extended his stay to lead the college after the former superintendent-president, Kamiran Badrkhan, unexpectedly retired last year.
"We have considerable sadness in losing Dr. Goodyear to retirement," said board president Zumwalt. "He has truly transformed the college. We believe Dr. Scroggins is the right choice to build upon Dr. Goodyear's beginning."
Scroggins is married to Lina Chen, and they have a 1-year-old daughter.

Jun. 6--VISALIA -- The search is over.
College of the Sequoias trustees voted unanimously Monday to ratify a four-year contract for William Scroggins to lead the 10,000-student campus.
The 5-0 vote means that Scroggins, 58, will begin his duties as College of the Sequoias superintendent-president effective July 1 to June 30, 2010.
Scroggins, the interim president at Modesto Junior College, will receive a base salary of $175,000 a year, about $40,000 more than his current salary.
"We believe Dr. Scroggins has the talent and understanding of all facets and perspectives of a college," said board President John Zumwalt, reading from a prepared statement.
"We have confidence that Dr. Scroggins can lead the institution through the perils ahead, including the immediate need to address enrollment issues."
Scroggins said the appointment is a "culmination" of his career.
"I've spent all 32 years of my career in higher education," said Scroggins, who was the finalist at three colleges. "I can't think of a better way to cap my long career in education."

Clarence Scroggins Clarence \"J.R.\" Scroggins passed from this life on Sunday, July 13, surrounded by his family, at the age of 84. He fought a valiant battle until the end, a trait he\'s exhibited throughout his remarkable life. Born October 13, 1923, in Phelps, Missouri, to Vernon Mae Jones and Clarence Perry Scroggins, he grew up in rural Missouri during the depression. He and his brother Lloyd joined the Army to fight in World War II. J.R. served with the 314th Infantry Regimen as the gunner of an 81 millimeter mortar. He served with passion and valor, landing in Normandy, France and eventually marching to Berlin, where he served through the war\'s end. Upon returning home to Missouri, he married Mary Lou Rathmann on January 18, 1947. From that union came three children: Linda, Bill and John. For a few years, the family lived in California. There J.R. worked for General Motors before moving back to Missouri where he started his own service station in Mount Vernon. He was well known for his ability to understand how things worked and always seemed to be fixing something for someone. J.R. continued to work as an auto painter and mechanic until he found a second career in insurance adjusting. His other passions, in addition to his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, were baseball and golf. Not only did he enjoy watching baseball, but for couple of years served as an assistant coach for the Springfield Giants. As he neared retirement, nearly every weekend was spent chasing golf balls out of water hazards with his closest friends. Shortly after his retirement, he suffered a devastating illness, Gillian Barre, and was hospitalized for a year. He demonstrated a level of strength and resilience in the face of adversity that amazed even his healthcare providers. For the remainder of his life, that strength of character continued to shine. In spite of his challenges, he continued to be fiercely independent and was always helping others. In the past eight years, one of his greatest joys was attending dances with old and new friends at the Senior Centers in Nixa, Aurora and Mount Vernon. There he and his wife enjoyed many hours of music and friendship that brightened and supported them in good times, as well as bad. J.R. was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence Perry and Vernon Mae, and his brother, Lloyd. He is survived by his wife, Mary Lou of Springfield; a daughter, Linda Buff and husband Mike of Springfield; a son Bill and wife Tina, of Vacaville, California; a son, John, of Springfield; granddaughters Jennifer Hall and husband Wayne of Coleville, California, and Malinda Taylor and husband Bill of Springfield; grandson Bryan Buff and wife Emily of Springfield and granddaughter Brittany and grandson James of Vacaville, California. He is also survived by his great-grandchildren Rebekah and T.J. of Springfield, and Cade and Brennen of Coleville, California; four nieces, a host of wonderful friends and neighbors, and his faithful dog Ninja. Memorial services are July 17, 2008, at 1 p.m., with visitation beginning at 12 p.m. Services will be held in Greenlawn Funeral Home North with interment to follow in the Missouri Veteran\'s Cemetery with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, at J.R.\'s request, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or American Heart Association in care of the funeral home at 3506 North National in Springfield.

Frank Crane
Paper: Star Tribune: Newspaper of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis, MN)
Deceased: Frank Crane was food-industry innovator
At Land O'Lakes he developed a baby formula for calves that ''benefited everyone in the industry.'' He was 83.
Date: November 11, 2006
Frank Crane spent much of his career at Land O'Lakes searching for ways to add value to the byproducts of cheesemaking. And in 1951 he invented one that changed the dairy industry - a baby formula for calves.
Crane, who died in Arizona Oct. 15 of complications from cancer, will be remembered today at the Zion Church in Lake Crystal, Minn. He was 83.
He introduced the first calf milk replacer and was a pioneer in researching and developing methods to protect against salmonella in feed.
"The calf milk replacer was remarkable in that it replaced whole milk for calves at a lower cost, and that benefited everyone in the industry," said Mike Fowler, retired director of nutritional services for Land O'Lakes Milk Products.
"But Frank did more than invent it," Fowler recalled Friday. "He marketed it and got it sold. He really was a genius, a man of great intelligence, but he had such great people skills, he could win the confidence of customers and fellow employees while gaining the respect of the entire feed industry."
Crane, who served as national chairman of the American Feed Manufacturers Association, rarely boasted of his varied accomplishments. His son-in-law, Howard Fisk, recalled offering to take Crane for a ride in a small airplane. Crane told him he had mixed feelings about flying in light planes and then stunned Fisk by telling him that he had been a Navy bombardier who had flown more than 70 missions during World War II.
"He told me he once came back with a three-foot hole in one of the wings," Fisk said. "Who would have known?
"He would tell people that he grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota, went to war, came back and went to the University of Minnesota. Other than that, you'd know nothing of his accomplishments if you talked to him."
Raised in Garden City, Minn., south of Mankato, Crane was a small-town kid who earned a Ph.D. in animal science, was awarded two gold stars with the Navy Air Corps in the Pacific, became a Land O'Lakes vice president and visited more than 70 countries in his quest to lower costs of food production.
"He loved working with Third World countries ... with water buffalo herds," said Carolyn Fisk, his daughter, who lives in St. Paul.
"He was an idea kind of person," she said. "And if he had an idea that would lower food production costs, he was willing to go anywhere in the world to share that."
He retired in 1982, but continued to serve as an agricultural consultant until recently. Three years ago, he helped open a Land O'Lakes milk replacement plant in Black River Falls, Wis.
Crane's first wife, Audrey, died in 1985, and a daughter, Deborah, died in 1984. In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his wife, Hildegarde, and children Keith Crane, of Annandale, Va., and Sue Fitzgerald, of Minneapolis. Noon visitation and luncheon will precede the 1:30 p.m. memorial service at Zion Lutheran Church.

Howard Fisk
Paper: St. Paul Pioneer Press (MN)
Deceased: HOWARD FISK, OLDEST GRAD AT 81 OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA THEATER
Date: April 20, 1994
Howard Fisk was the oldest graduate of the University of Minnesota Theater Department at age 81 in 1984. But he acted as young and enthusiastic as any 18-year-old freshman, friends recalled Tuesday.
Fisk died Sunday at the Highland Chateau Health Care Center. He was 91.
''He was great fun,'' said Lance Brockman, one of his theater professors. ''He brought to the class a youthfulness that you don't always see even among the younger students.''
Fisk decided to go back to college in 1981, shortly after his wife, Bernice, died. His daughter Helen Fisk was a student at the University of Minnesota at the time.
''One day he said to me, 'I should go back and finish my degree. You should take me to the university and show me around,''' Helen Fisk said. ''So I did.''
His roots were in theater. He was born in 1902 in Colorado and grew up watching his parents act in and direct community theater productions in Missouri and Colorado.
He spent his career working a variety of jobs, often dabbling in professional writing. He wrote a radio script for a Shirley Temple production as well as several B-movies in Hollywood. He directed a theater company in Colorado, where Hollywood movie starlets would be sent to get theater training.
Fisk moved to Minnesota in the late 1940s where he helped write a WCCO program on the homes for sale in the area - a program hosted by former WCCO anchor Dave Moore. He also worked in real estate and worked as a dispatcher for a trucking company. After his retirement, he worked for a nursery and floral shop.
His play, ''Not Borned Fer Hangin'' - about a Western outlaw who didn't want his son following in his notorious footsteps - won a university contest. It was one of the three student plays put on that year at the school.
He is survived by five children - Howard Fisk and Helen Fisk of St. Paul; Heidi Fisk of Eagan; Nancy Heath of Ohio and Kathryn Smith of Oregon - and three grandchildren.
Services will be Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Willwerscheid & Peters Mortuary, 1167 Grand Ave. Visitation will be from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Friday.

His son-in-law, Howard Fisk, recalled offering to take Crane for a ride in a small airplane. Crane told him he had mixed feelings about flying in light planes and then stunned Fisk by telling him that he had been a Navy bombardier who had flown more than 70 missions during World War II.
"He told me he once came back with a three-foot hole in one of the wings," Fisk said. "Who would have known?
"He would tell people that he grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota, went to war, came back and went to the University of Minnesota. Other than that, you'd know nothing of his accomplishments if you talked to him."
Raised in Garden City, Minn., south of Mankato, Crane was a small-town kid who earned a Ph.D. in animal science, was awarded two gold stars with the Navy Air Corps in the Pacific, became a Land O'Lakes vice president and visited more than 70 countries in his quest to lower costs of food production.
"He loved working with Third World countries ... with water buffalo herds," said Carolyn Fisk, his daughter, who lives in St. Paul.
"He was an idea kind of person," she said. "And if he had an idea that would lower food production costs, he was willing to go anywhere in the world to share that."
He retired in 1982, but continued to serve as an agricultural consultant until recently. Three years ago, he helped open a Land O'Lakes milk replacement plant in Black River Falls, Wis.
Crane's first wife, Audrey, died in 1985, and a daughter, Deborah, died in 1984. In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his wife, Hildegarde, and children Keith Crane, of Annandale, Va., and Sue Fitzgerald, of Minneapolis. Noon visitation and luncheon will precede the 1:30 p.m. memorial service at Zion Lutheran Church.
Deceased: Frank Crane was food-industry innovator
At Land O'Lakes he developed a baby formula for calves that ''benefited everyone in the industry.'' He was 83.
Date: November 11, 2006
Frank Crane spent much of his career at Land O'Lakes searching for ways to add value to the byproducts of cheesemaking. And in 1951 he invented one that changed the dairy industry - a baby formula for calves.
Crane, who died in Arizona Oct. 15 of complications from cancer, will be remembered today at the Zion Church in Lake Crystal, Minn. He was 83.
He introduced the first calf milk replacer and was a pioneer in researching and developing methods to protect against salmonella in feed.
"The calf milk replacer was remarkable in that it replaced whole milk for calves at a lower cost, and that benefited everyone in the industry," said Mike Fowler, retired director of nutritional services for Land O'Lakes Milk Products.
"But Frank did more than invent it," Fowler recalled Friday. "He marketed it and got it sold. He really was a genius, a man of great intelligence, but he had such great people skills, he could win the confidence of customers and fellow employees while gaining the respect of the entire feed industry."

June 10, 1923 - October 15, 2006
Frank M. Crane, of Ahwatukee Foothills, Phoenix, Arizona, died peacefully in his home October 15, 2006. A Memorial Service will be held at the Mountain View Lutheran Church, 11002 S. 48th St. at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, October 19, 2006. At a later date a memorial service will be held at the Lake Crystal, Minnesota, Zion Lutheran Church and interment will be in the Crane family plot at the Garden City, Minnesota Cemetery.
Frank M. Crane was the son of Lucas and Marie (Lindquist) Crane. He attended public schools in Garden City, Minnesota. Frank grew up on a farm near Garden City, Minnesota, serving in later years as part owner and manager of the farm. During World War II, he served in the Navy Air Corp 1942-46 Pacific Theater, earning the Air Medal and 2 Gold Stars. He was truly a member of "America's Greatest Generation." After the war, he earned his B.S., M.S., and his Doctorate in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota. In 1951, Dr. Crane joined the Land O' Lakes Animal Feed Division where he held a variety of management positions in feed formulation, nutrition, production, quality control, marketing and research. He was a key person in the development of the Land O' Lakes feed business. He invented the first successful calf milk replacer and then directed the firm's initial programs for marketing it in the U.S. and foreign markets.
In 1970, Dr. Crane was promoted to Vice President of Marketing for the newly created Land O' Lakes-Felco Division in Fort Dodge, Iowa. During the next decade, he served two four-year terms on the American Feed Manufacturers Association's Board of Directors. In 1980, he was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors. During his chairmanship he served on several advisory committees to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration and participated in a major Energy Conference at the White House. In 2000, Dr. Crane was honored for a long career of contribution and dedication to U.S. animal agriculture, the feed industry and public service. The award is the highest honor bestowed by the American Feed Industry Association. At that time, only 20 individuals had received this prestigious recognition over the 92 year history of the association.
Prior to and after retirement Dr. Crane traveled extensively to various feed, food and energy foreign conferences. He made 59 foreign trips visiting six continents and 62 countries. His specific international assignments were consultive and project roles for the American Feed Industry Association, the U.S. Feed Grains Council, the American Soybean Association, the National Renderers Association, Agricultural Cooperative Development International (ACDI), the International Energy Cooperative, and Land O' Lakes, Inc.
Dr. Crane also lectured at universities in Japan, Korea, Turkey, Hungary, Bulgaria, Costa Rica and Egypt. His manuscripts for his seminars have been translated and published in eleven languages. In Cairo, Egypt (1985) Dr. Crane was a participant in the First World Water Buffalo Congress and presented a scientific paper on the use of milk replacers for the water buffalo calf. Most of his foreign work has been with the developing countries of the world and directed toward helping these countries make their animal agriculture more productive and to improve the food supply for their people.
Throughout his career, Dr. Crane published many articles pertaining to the animal feed industry, including "The Dairy Industry", "Feeding the Dairy Calf", "Salmonella in Animal Feeds", "Dehydrated Alfalfa Feeds", "Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal", "Dairy Beef" and "World Food Conferences."
Dr. Crane was involved in leadership roles in church, Rotary, and United Way. He frequently lectured to various civic groups on U.S. Agriculture and its relationship with the world's food supply. He was an active member of Arizona Rotary and served as District Governor for Rotary International, whose motto is "Service Above Self."
Dr. Crane was preceded in death by his first wife, Audrey (Kraus) Crane in 1985, daughter Debora in 1984, and brother Ross in 2005. He is survived by his wife, Hildegarde (Streufert) Crane of Phoenix, two daughters and their husbands: Carolyn and Howard Fisk of St. Paul, Minnesota, Dr. Suzanne and Dan Fitzgerald of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and son Dr. Keith Crane and his wife Bozena of Annandale, Virginia; grandchildren Anna and husband Brian Walker, Olen Crane and wife Julie, Allyce and Jacqueline Fisk, plus a great-grandson Nathan; and sister Beulah Lee of Lake Crystal, Minnesota.

Channing Pollock
==================================================
Magician Pollock dies at 79
==================================================
Las Vegas Review-Journal (NV)-March 21, 2006
Author: Carol Cling
By CAROL CLING
REVIEW-JOURNAL
Channing Pollock
Magician , who performed on the Strip and around the world — and mentored such conjurers as Lance Burton and David Copperfield — died Sunday at his Las Vegas home of complications from cancer. He was 79.
Before his 1970 retirement, Pollock "had a profound influence on the art of magic," Burton said in a statement. "He was the most emulated magician of the 20th century and perhaps the most revered."
Burton shared that reverence for Pollock, who is credited with perfecting the modern "dove" act.
"As a young boy, I idolized Channing Pollock and wanted to be Channing Pollock when I grew up," Burton recalled. "Over the past 23 years he has been a mentor to me, a teacher and one of my closest friends."
Another Strip headliner, David Copperfield, called Pollock "the perfect magician," describing him in a statement as "the James Bond of magic."
Citing his "impeccable technique" and "handsome, cool" stage presence, Copperfield said Pollock "inspired a generation of conjurers. Channing was like a second dad to many. I am one of his 'sons.'"
Pollock, born in Sacramento, Calif., on Aug. 16, 1926, began his career in 1952, touring the United States after graduating from Los Angeles' Chavez College of Magic. A master card manipulator, Pollock also "set the standard for producing doves from thin air," according to the Internet site for "Magic: The Science of Illusion," a California Science Center exhibit touring museums nationwide.
Pollock "dressed formally, smiled only at the very end of his act and inspired magicians around the world," the exhibit's Internet site noted. "His handsome face, serious air and graceful moves left nightclub audiences spellbound. As he made doves appear, he seemed to be shaping them from air with his hands. Magicians everywhere copied his moves."
A 1954 performance on television's "Ed Sullivan Show" (then titled "Toast of the Town") proved Pollock's breakthrough, leading to appearances on the "Jack Benny Summer Show" with Sammy Davis Jr. and a Hilton Hotels tour that included the United States and Caribbean.
Pollock performed for President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955, then traveled to Europe.
In addition to a Royal Command Performance for Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, Pollock participated at a performance for the 1956 wedding of Monaco's Prince Rainier to movie star Grace Kelly and later performed at their children's birthday parties.
The 1959 movie "Europe by Night," a compendium of popular nightclub acts, showcased his artistry.
After returning to the United States in 1959, Pollock appeared in the Tropicana's "Folies Bergere" and the Stardust's "Lido de Paris." He later toured with Liberace.
In addition to his renowned magic act, Pollock created an illusion show and played leading roles in several European movies, including "Musketeers of the Sea" (1960), "Rocambole" and "The Red Sheik" (both released in 1962) and "Judex" (1963).
On television, Pollock guest starred in such popular series as "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Bonanza."
He also continued to perform magic on such '60s variety shows as "The Hollywood Palace" and "The Andy Williams Show."
In addition to his wife, Joann , Pollock is survived by his son, Russell of California.
Private family funeral arrangements were pending; a Las Vegas memorial service will be at 1 p.m. May 13 at the Monte Carlo.
The family requested donations be made to the Encore Foundation, which assists magicians in need, at 4200 Wisconsin Ave. NW, PMB 106-379, Washington, D.C. 20016.

Big, bigger, biggest bubbles: bubble blowing contest
==================================================
Ukiah Daily Journal (CA)-June 12, 2005
Author: LAURA CLARK/The Daily Journal
It was shopping as usual Saturday at Wal-Mart for those over the age of 12, who were not eligible to participate in the "6th Annual Dubble Bubble National Bubble Blowing Contest."
Younger children, however, were given the opportunity to broaden their shopping experience, if they were in the Ukiah store -- or any Wal-Mart across America -- between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and up for some friendly competition.
The child who blew the biggest diameter bubble, measured with an official Dubble Bubble meter, would, at the local level, win a duffel bag and then come back to the Ukiah Wal-Mart on June 15 for an award ceremony, and also have a shot at going to the national bubble-blowing finals in August.
Meanwhile, demonstrator Jean Hoffman, at a table piled with bubble gum on Saturday, recruited young passersby.
"Do you kids blow bubbles? OK, chew this, get it soft, and when you are ready to blow bubbles let me know," Hoffman said.
Shayla Hloucha, 8, of Ukiah, was up first. As she was preparing to blow her best and biggest bubble, her younger sister, Kiana, 6, was being coached by their mother, Angie Hloucha.
"Are you gonna try? You gotta kind of push your tongue into it and blow some air through it," the shy little girl's mother explained to her.
Soon after Shayla's bubble was measured as a "10" on the Dubble Bubble meter, a boy in a Red Sox uniform started warming up for his turn.
Asked how good he was at blowing bubbles, the 10-year-old Ukiah boy named Niko, used his hands to make a circle about the size of a cantaloupe and said: "Yesterday I blew one about that big."
As other children wandered up for their bubble gum -- up to three pieces were allowed in the mouth at one time -- Niko kept preparing for the big moment.
"I keep on over-stretching my mouth," he said, chomping on the gum before losing it when he attempted to blow a bubble. "I caught it," he said of the gum after it fell out of his mouth. Then, he put it back in and started chewing again.
By this time, several people had gathered in the contest area and lots of little mouths were bulging with bubble gum. Soon after, Niko blew his bubble and then moved on.
"Put a lot of gum around the tongue," Maria Lopez told her younger sister, Ana, when she was getting ready to blow.
"It's your age," Ana's younger brother, Jaime, told Ana when her bubble measured "11" on the meter.
Asked if he knew the secret of blowing a big bubble, Redwood Valley's 11-year-old Robbie Scroggin said: "No. ... Just stick your tongue in and blow."
"I don't really have a secret," his 8-year-old sister Kayla said.
By noon, the largest bubble so far -- a "12" -- had been blown by 5-year-old Stephanie Alvarez.
How did the little girl dressed all in pink, like the color of the gum in her mouth, blow such a big bubble?
"I blowed it really hard," she said simply.
From the preliminary national contest, five finalists from across the country will be identified to participate in the national finals in August. These five children will compete for the grand prize of a $10,000 U.S. Savings Bond. In addition, a $1,000 donation in the winner's honor will go to the Children's Miracle Network.
Four runnersup will receive a $5,000 U.S. Savings Bond, and a $1,000 donation in each runner-up's honor will be made to local children's hospitals through Children's Miracle Network.

Big, bigger, biggest bubbles: bubble blowing contest
==================================================
Ukiah Daily Journal (CA)-June 12, 2005
Author: LAURA CLARK/The Daily Journal
It was shopping as usual Saturday at Wal-Mart for those over the age of 12, who were not eligible to participate in the "6th Annual Dubble Bubble National Bubble Blowing Contest."
Younger children, however, were given the opportunity to broaden their shopping experience, if they were in the Ukiah store -- or any Wal-Mart across America -- between 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and up for some friendly competition.
The child who blew the biggest diameter bubble, measured with an official Dubble Bubble meter, would, at the local level, win a duffel bag and then come back to the Ukiah Wal-Mart on June 15 for an award ceremony, and also have a shot at going to the national bubble-blowing finals in August.
Meanwhile, demonstrator Jean Hoffman, at a table piled with bubble gum on Saturday, recruited young passersby.
"Do you kids blow bubbles? OK, chew this, get it soft, and when you are ready to blow bubbles let me know," Hoffman said.
Shayla Hloucha, 8, of Ukiah, was up first. As she was preparing to blow her best and biggest bubble, her younger sister, Kiana, 6, was being coached by their mother, Angie Hloucha.
"Are you gonna try? You gotta kind of push your tongue into it and blow some air through it," the shy little girl's mother explained to her.
Soon after Shayla's bubble was measured as a "10" on the Dubble Bubble meter, a boy in a Red Sox uniform started warming up for his turn.
Asked how good he was at blowing bubbles, the 10-year-old Ukiah boy named Niko, used his hands to make a circle about the size of a cantaloupe and said: "Yesterday I blew one about that big."
As other children wandered up for their bubble gum -- up to three pieces were allowed in the mouth at one time -- Niko kept preparing for the big moment.
"I keep on over-stretching my mouth," he said, chomping on the gum before losing it when he attempted to blow a bubble. "I caught it," he said of the gum after it fell out of his mouth. Then, he put it back in and started chewing again.
By this time, several people had gathered in the contest area and lots of little mouths were bulging with bubble gum. Soon after, Niko blew his bubble and then moved on.
"Put a lot of gum around the tongue," Maria Lopez told her younger sister, Ana, when she was getting ready to blow.
"It's your age," Ana's younger brother, Jaime, told Ana when her bubble measured "11" on the meter.
