POSTVILLE, IA — The new owners of the beleaguered kosher meat company Agriprocessors are quickly facing criticism over their early management of the company.

A team of three men took over control of Agriprocessors — now called Agri Star — at the beginning of August. The new team, led by Canadian businessman Hershey Friedman, and using the corporate name SHF, bought Agriprocessors out of bankruptcy in July. Their purchase of the kosher company came a little more than a year after it was the target of a massive immigration raid that led to criminal charges against the previous owners, the Rubashkin family.

Mendel Meretsky, 7, of State College, prepares challah next to the 9-foot-long loaf baked by Tony Sapia as a part of the Jewish Life Festival on Tuesday. Sapia baked the large loaf and submitted an application to the Guiness Book of World Records in hopes of having baked the largest challah ever.

Situated on a table in the center of a white tent was a 9-foot-long challah, or braided bread.

Baked in a 10-foot-long oven at Gemelli's Bakery, 129 S. Pugh St., by Tony Sapia, the challah is in contention for a record in the Guinness Book of World Records.

WINNING SMILE: Jimmy Groves, in his Harlem
'hood yesterday, said, “I didn't have a dime
in my pocket” until his purchase of a Mega
Millions ticket.
James “Jimmy” Groves — a Madison Square Garden laborer who recently defaulted on his Capital One credit-card debt — yesterday told The Post that he's the person who won half of a $336 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot two weeks ago.

“It feels great!” said Groves, 49, near his home in the crime-riddled Grant Houses. “I'm going to Disney World!

”I was down and out, and I didn't have a dime in my pocket. I asked for a lottery ticket, in 26 installment payments. And the next day, I won $166 million.

“Then the lottery people called me back and told me it was [actually] $168 million,” said the father of two, who has not been publicly confirmed by lottery officials as the winner.
