    VirginiaVirginia HuntingHunting DogDog AllianceAlliance Powhatan, Virginia March 22, 2011 The Adam Keith Story A Clear and Present Danger to All of Us By now you’ve probably heard something about Adam Keith and his beagles seized by Botetourt County, under the authorization of its Animal Rights supporting Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney, Gillian Deegan. When the dogs were seized on Jan.17th, under Va. law Mr. Keith had 10 working days to get a lawyer and mount a defense at a hearing before a Judge who would decide whether he would get his dogs back or not. Under Va. law, if the judge ruled against him and he decided to appeal, he would have to post a bond that might amount to thousands of dollars to cover the up to $85 dog/day charged by “Animal Rescue” groups to “maintain” the dogs until the appeal was heard and the ten prior days. Two of the dogs seized were high dollar dogs used in competitive field trials. The hearing was set for Wednesday, March 2nd. The facts surrounding the actual seizure are included in the attorney’s summary below. Also below is what went out over the local TV news media, describing the dogs’ seizure as a “Rescue”. When the VaHDA heard about the seizures, about 3-4 days had elapsed. Mr. Keith was a young man of modest means and did not have sufficient funds to employ a lawyer, whose fee was variously estimated at $3-5,000 for the first hearing. After significant fact finding, our Legislative Affairs Vice Chairman Kirby Burch contacted a well-reputed lawyer; Melvin Williams and he agreed to take the case at a fee well under his normal charges.

  • LITTLEJOHN, SARA JANE, Ph.D. the Rhetoric of Food Narratives: Ideology and Influence in American Culture
    LITTLEJOHN, SARA JANE, Ph.D. The Rhetoric of Food Narratives: Ideology and Influence in American Culture. (2008) Directed by Dr. Nancy A. Myers. 209pp. Although food takes up such a large portion of daily life, its critical interrogation is a field of study that demands greater exploration, particularly given the current cultural moment that is beginning to recognize that ignoring our relationship to food has significant and deleterious effects on our health, economy, and environment. Even though there is some acknowledgement of the power of food to send messages, it is the narrative qualities—captured in discourse and behavior—that contributes to its meaning making, thus persuasive, properties. The stories we associate with food and food ways become food narratives, as they are converted through discourse and behavior into what Roland Barthes calls cultural myth. Informed by cultural and critical theories, food narratives as they are connected to narrative, performative language, and ideology become part of the rhetorical situation. Based on Kenneth Burke’s conceptualization of rhetoric as an imbricated equation that includes meaning making, persuasion, identification, and consubstantiation, I argue that food narratives function as a rhetorical force used by “human agents to persuade other human agents into action” (Rhetoric 41) and that this persuasion occurs ideologically without public awareness. Finally, this lack of awareness results in non-reflective engagement with food and food ways that can become an opening for consumer manipulation. Opportunities for the rhetorical manipulation of food narratives occur in many cultural contexts, but specifically, this study examines the following areas: cooking shows that maintain and perpetuate food narratives that result in non-reflective engagement with the practice of cooking; fast food narratives that result in a manipulation of consumers to buy product; and finally, food narratives of politics that result in a manipulation of voters as they disengage with the processes of the election.
