American Legion observes Religious Emphasis Week the lives of 200 men. Heroic four chaplains remembered save The last image anyone TIMES-SENTINEL STAFF MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS The American Legion is commemorating the sacrifice of four armed forces chaplains during World War II with the observance of Religious Emphasis Week. Feb. 1-7, and Four Chaplains Sunday, Jan. 31, according to Chaplain Donald E. Wright of American Legion Post 27 in Gallipolis. The American Legion and clergymen across the nation are planning special programs for the observance of the 67th anniversary of the sinking U.S .S. Troop Transport Dorchester and the heroism demonstrated by chaplains Clark V. Poling, Alexander D. Goode, John P. Washington and George L Fox. Poling was a member of the Reformed Church of America. Goode was a Jewish rabbi. Washington was a Roman Catholic priest. Fox was Methodist. The vessel. with 900 soldiers on board. was struck by a torpedo early on the morning of Feb. 3,1943, off the coast of Greenland. In the ensuing panic, the four chaplains led the troops on board to boxes of life jackets and passed them out to the soldiers. When the boxes were emptied, the chaplains gave their own life preservers to four young GI's and sent them to safety. The Dorchester sank 25 minutes later. taking with it 600 lives, including the four heroic chaplains. Their efforts helped to saw of Poling.

According to a press release issued by the American Legion, the annual observance. as part of the Legion's Service to God and Country program, helps bring new emphasis to religious aspects of America's heritage and the need for continuing adherence to the basic religious concepts upon which the country was founded. ASK DR. BROTHERS What is this country coming to? BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: As I type this letter on my computer. my neighbors next door - the Mexicans are having yet another party. God knows if they're even here legally, but that doesn't seem to stop them from having a good time, all the time. If they're not having a party, they're at the hardware store down the street looking for work. You're a fine American, Dr. Brothers. I ask you, Is this the future of our country? To be overcome by illegals? What can a real American do?- K.S. Dear K.S.: I am sorry your neighbors have been causing you so much worry. Surely there are noise regulations in your county or city, along with neighborhood norms that usually are observed by the residents of the street. This is not to excuse their behavior, for they may know full well that they are violating the spirit and/or the letter of the law when it comes to noise. They may be trying to impress some of their own cultural values onto the neighborhood, in the hope that some of you may decide to join the party. Or, ,they may simply be rude, uncaring and antisocial in that they don't give a hoot what the neighbors think. So you may have to take it to city hall. I am concerned about your sweeping generalizations about "real" Americans, though. Sometimes we let our own prejudices get in the way of appreciating the diversity in our neighborhood and getting to know some of the individuals who could bring a little enrichment to our own lives. Is it possible you could approach just one or two of these ''illegals'' in a spirit of friendship and just see what happens? Perhaps you have something in common when it comes to your home, lawn or garden, the cars you drive or even the mailman. Anything can start a dialogue. Don't be afraid to confront your fears and try to make at least one stranger your friend. After that, you might examine what you both have learned about one another. Make it be good. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: Last month on the way home from work, I hit a deer. It literally came out of nowhere on a dark road, and there was nothing I could do to avoid it. The next morning on my drive to work, I did something weird I braked for a leaf that was blowing across the road! I feel very freaked out now whenever I drive, during the daytime or night. It's getting me kind of concerned. What, if anything, can I do to change my scared behavior?- A.N. Dear A.N.: I would think that this extended hypervigilance - which is what you seem to be describing should fade away gradually as the incident fades in your memory. The trouble is that, for right now, it is completely vivid - and you know it could easily happen again. The deer just keep leaping in front of innocent cars, and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. But there are a couple of variables to keep in mind. You certainly are able to shuffle the deck a bit so as to reduce the possibilities of further traumatizing incidents. This might start with a. change of route, instead of driving down a country road where you know that deer are plentiful. Avoid driving in the dawn and dusk hours if you can. Drive at a reasonable speed, and allow plenty of room between cars. And have a set policy in your head about when you will brake -- if the consequence of possibly running over something is less than swerving when you might lose control or hit something else, try to visualize how you should react. While I wouldn't advocate driving while sedated. you could try some natural remedies for out-of-control nerves. such as meditation and yoga. Calm your mind, and the tense behavior behind the \ wheel should follow.

The plan tlso includes correcting deficiencies and omissions from the elementary school project built in 2001 and the demolition of the existing Southern High School. Southern had the option to pursue renovating Southern High School with OSFC funds but the cost would've resulted in an even greater local match than building a new addition.

This generate~ oyer 6.9 million to.ns ~f toxic a~h each year. Coal ash 1s lull of ham1ful toxms like arsemc. lead and mercury. Despite the toxicity of this waste, it is not regulated a!'> hazardous waste. Much of this waste is stored as a wet slurry held in impoundment ponds . Ohio has 26 of these ponds situated at II p<mcr plants. Ponds at the Gavin Plant in Gallia County and the :'vtuskingham River plant in Wa~hington Count) ha'e been classified by the U.S. Em ironmental Protection Agenc) as ..high hazard potential .'' That mean!'> a dam failure will probably cause loss of human life. The U.S. EPA is preparing a new rule to ensure the safe dbposal of coal ash. The coal industry is instead backing a proposal that ensures coal ash is treated less responsibly than household trash. It is time the coal industry is held accountable for the proper dis~ posal of coal ash. Those of us Jiving in southeast Ohio who are exposed to the health hazards of coal must demand strong regulations that treat coal waste as a hazardous substance and that give affected commuqities the right to provide input on how the coal ash should be handled. Mary Beth Lohse Pomeroy Common courtesy Dear Editor: I O\\. n a home on Burnett Road in Gallipolis. pretty much ·•ground zero' for the new (Kanauga-Addison) SC\\. er construction project. I understand the process and the need for eminent domain in regard to this project but at what point should these contractors feel the need to use some common courteS) '? I can lhc with my yard being dug up and destroyed and 1 can lh e \\ ith the non stop noise generated by the construction. I can abo live with the traffic nightmare that has been created in the area. What I can't Jive with is having a bulldozer pile a 10foot high mountain of dirt in my driveway for seven hours. essentially blocking my family from getting in or out of our residence . The part which upsets me the most about this is that there was no warning whatsoever that this was going to occur. Now. it's certainly not going to kill my wife and I to stay home for seven hours. but when' we have a 15month old child who has had a seizure this past month. it \Vould have been nice to have been warned so that we could have planned for an emergency. Again. I am all for the project and have a lot of respect for the people \\Orking outside in those condition~ to get it done. We are willing to make sacrifices. but is it too much to ask to knock on a door and let people know what to expect? I hope not.

Constitution also \\ere given to those in attendance. "This is what the tea pat1) movement is all about - getting the government to respect the constitution." Butler said. "I think West Virginia and -.outheast Ohio have the same issues. I think we should have the freedoms to choose for our own families. The major problem is nationally, but it starts locally." Butler encouraged those in attendance to join the "tea party" movcm~:nt. which he described as a special interest group and not a political part). He also emphasized that the "tea party" movement was not limited to a Republican, Democrat or independent issue. "We arc just ordinary citizens who need to do something and who are tired of sitting around. The government lives off of us and they should work for us,'' he said. ·The government spends too much. taxes too much and is pushing us out of business." Butler also di. cussed what those in attendance could do to spread the word about the issues in which they believe. He advised others to get more people involved. educate themseh es on the issues and candidates as well as '"ork to elect candidates '"ho \\ill reprc ent their values.

"Political correctness is a cancer that"s eating the guts out of this countt') - \\e arc free," Nev. man said. 'The question is 'What can v.e do here?' Everyone here probably has a lot of different reasons. but the basic one is that you arc feeling alone and disenfranchised. It is important that you don't rant and that you do something - you need to educate, evaluate and motivate.'' Newman, like Butler. strcs~cd that the "tea party" movement is not a political party issue. "This is non-pa11isan - you need to know what the representatives are doing to you," he said. "It is time that you all come out and take control." The meeting closed with an open discussion session. According to Butler, there will be more "tea party" meetings in the future.

(AP) :Kurt Warner has called an :end to one of the great stol)•book careers in NFL history·. ' The 38-)ear-old quarterback announced his retire:ment from the game on Friday after a dozen years in ' a league that at first rejected him. then revered him as he came from nowhere to lead 1 the lowly St. Louis Rams to ,two Super Bowls. winning ·the first of them. : Written off as a has-been. :he rose again to lead the Ariwna :long-suffering Cardinals to the Super Bowl a year ago. Warner. a man of deep faith '"ho carried a Bible to each post:~arne news conference, \Va!Ked awa} with a vear left on a two-year. $23 million contract. knowing he still had the skills to play at the highest level. "It's been an amazing ride."' he said. "I don't think I could have dreamt it would have played out like it has. but I've been humbled every day that I woke up the last 12 years and amazed that God would choose to use me to do what he's given me the opportunity to do." The Cardinals signed Warner to a one·year contract in 2005 largely because no other team -\\ ould give him a chance to be a starter. But when Matt Leinart went do\\ n with an injury five games into the 2007 season. Warner got his chance. He started 48 of the remaining 49 games of his career. Warner leaves the game with a legacy that could land him in the Hall of Fame even though he didn't get his first start until he was 28. In a comparison with the 14 quarterbacks to make the Hall of Fame in the last 25 years. Warner has a better career completion percentage. yards per pass attempt and yar~s per game. Only Dan .Marmo h~d more career 300-yard passmg games. In 124 regular-season games. Warner. completed 65.5 percent of hts passes for 32.344 yards and 208 touchdowns. He and Fran Tarkenton are the only NFL quarterbacks to throw for 100 touchdowns and 14.000 yards for two teams. He was the fastest player in NFL history to I 0.000 yard.s passing and tied Marmo as fastest to reach 30.QOO. Devils Pat scoring (that many) of our pointo;,. That's just not going to work. Our seniors need to step up and put some points on the board for us .'' ~lays has an injured left elbow that '"ill also keep him out of tonight's game against Lancaster and. more than likely. Tuesday night at Marietta. Dietz played \\ ith a sore shoulder. and junior pivotman Derek Montgomery is out for the season with a shoulder problem as well. The Blue Devils hit three three-point buckets in the opening period - two by Jordan Cornwell (nine points) and one by Chuck Calvert - to open a quick 9-2 edge and led 9-5 at the end of the stanza. Gallipolis then went on a 10-2 run, powered by Austin Wilson's three-point play and a triple b) Ethan Moore (eight points). to open its biggest lead of the mght. 19-7. with 3:52 left in the first half. The Chiefs got the margin down to nine at halftime and pulled within four at the outset of the third period on a trifecta and two free throws by Angle, but the Blue Devils scored eight of the next ll points, the latter on a rebound bucket by John Troester (eight points, 10 rebounds, three steals) to make it 30-21. And that's when the Gallipolis offense all but shut down. .. We practice every week against traps because sooner or later we know people arc going to do that."' Osborne said. "1 thought the first two-and-a·half quarters we had them really confused. \\e did some l-3-1 and 2-3 and then we \\anted to make some change-ups but we couldn't because we tamed it over so man) times (in the second half). 'T m disappointed that we didn't take the challenge of them trapping us and domg better." he added. "That's just amazing, three points in (nearly D) minutes. And still we only gave up 38 points. You give up 38 points (and) you ought to be able to win a game." When the two teams met earlier in the season in Gallia Academ\ 's new gymnasium, the Chiefs prevailed 38-34... and, that night, the Purple & White had the services of Mays but An!!le was still out with the leg~ injury he sustained at the end of football season. For about fi\e minutes. the Chiefs' offense clicked as well a~ it had all season - namely. a 9·0 run to end the third period and a 14-0 run all told that spilled into the final quarter. The Chieftains com erted three Gallipolis miscues into six points in the final minute of the stanza. tying the game at 30-30 when Dietz made a back-court steal and got the ball to Kyle Guess. who then hit T.J. Colegrove under the bucket for a layup just before the buuer. Angle then tripled from the left of the ke) 20 seconds into the fourth period to put the Chiefs ahead to sta) and Jared Rutter scored off a Colegrove steal and assist with 7:16 remaining for a 35-30 lead. That was Logan's final field goal of the night. The Chiefs didn't score again until the final 15 seconds as Jordan Rutter hit three-offour free throws in that time frame to finally seal the deal. Meanwhile. the Logan was giving defense Gallipolis fits. All the Blue Devils managed the rest of the way was a Cornwell free throw with 5:06 to play and a power-move bucket on the right block by Troester with I :40 remaining. \\hich cut the Logan lead to 35-33. The Blue Devils then tried to take advantage of a Logan turno-.:er b) quick)) getting the ball upcourt ... but that man Dietz ~tcpped up and blocked a potential game-tying Gallipolis layup attempt \\ ith 49 seconds left. GAHS got one last chance to tic but Dietz intimidated a Gallipoli-. player into hitting the side of the backboard with a hurried shot off a baseline drive with 17 seconds remaining. "We talked at halftime about playing our game with focus, heart and passion. I didn't think we had those three things in the first half:' Myers said. "und starting the third quarter I thou~ht for several minutes we dtdn 't pick it up the way we could. But then we started feeling confident and getting some energy and adrenaline going. We started rolling, and everybody stepped their game up a couple notches. ··our defense was there." he added. Assistant "Coach (Cullen) Rutter said at halftime ·gu)s. \\e're goin~ to have bad 2ames -.hootmg. but our defense has to \\in this game tonight.' and our defense did ''in this game tonight." Myers certainl) .v.as~'t making any apologies tor \\hat his team did on defense. "Whatever it was. it \\as good enough to make (the Blue Devils) panic ... (we had) active feet and active hands in the second half and put a lot of pressure on them," Myers said. ··And it won the game for us. No matter if it was good or not. it did the job." As mentioned. he thorunderstood 0 u<>hl)· e • . Osborne s frustratiOn. "As a coach you ah\a)s think (something) isn't good enough to make us look that bad or ~ornething ... Myers said ... I didn't think they were good enough for us to (on!)) score 13 points in the first half. I just thought '' c weren't very good in the first half." Osborne felt it was the second time the Blue Devils let a potential win over the Chiefs get away thts season. "Shooting has bugged us. (but) tonight we shot fairly well the first half and we didn't get any shots the second half. We just turned it over." he said. "and the few shots we had. we obviously didn't make ver) man). Dietz had something to do '" ith it close to the basket." from Page Bl A ied. '·Diett blocked a lot ·~hot~. We thought if you , make a good shot-fake you : ha' e a chance to get him up •in the air.

The Chiefs rallied from deficits of 19-7 (in the second period), 22-13 (halftime) and. as mentioned. 30-21 (4:55 to go in the 'third period). , ..The ~econd half I : thought our defense was eat." Myers said. "We nt a little harder (with) I court pressure. Jared Rutter was fabulous in the full -court. anttctpating, • reading passes and getting : some steals for us. That was ; a key part of the second ·half. In the half-court we · contested their shots. • "Jared was an animal in :the full-court and Jeff was ' an animal in the half-court," , he added . Diett. had "eight blocks and (I 0) rebounds. and he was changing shots that he wasn't blocking. A ' great job.'' ' The Chiefs played without their second-leading · scorer, ~enior lVIason Mavs ( 15 points per game) , \\ ho . does a terrific job creating shots and slashing to the basket.

Junior Women's Club. · But that's exactly the thought that Kim Everett-Hirsch of Portland, Ore., had before launching her first cat agility competition in 2005. "I thought there was no reason cats ;can't do it." :' At that first competition, there were 30 cats, none of 'whom had ever seen the obstacle course before. And in the 'building next to the cat show, there was a motorcycle show. -. "These people came on over," Everett-Hirsch said. "They said, you gotta be kidding. So they paid admission." Afid as the cats came out and got the hang of it, she says, "They were standing up cheering them, 'go girl go!'" '· The jumps, tunnels, stairs and weave poles used for cat agility will look familiar to anyone who's seen the dog ~version of the sport, but the smaller size of the obstacles isn't the only difference. Dogs are expected to perform each obstacle on command, in an order that isn't obvious .from the course layout. For cats, the obstacles are arranged in a circle, and the handler leads them around 'rhe course, making a game of it with a toy on a stick or a ' laser pointer. ,.. "A eat's a little different," says Everett-Hirsch. "They're ing the show. You have to make them want to do it." though the sport hasn't been going very long, there's ady conventional wisdom about what breeds are bested. , That dido 't stop Donna Hinton of Richmond, Texas, a · serious competitor who has big Maine Coons instead of a lithe, short-haired Abyssinian. For her it's not about the breed, it's about the individual. • "You need a cat that hcts a good attention span, that's toy·driven," she says. "I've had some that decided 'I tried it, it's 'not my cup of tea.' You can't make them do it." : Success is also very much about the handler's skill and ;relationship with their animal. "You have to be in tune to ~your cat," says Hinton. "You have to be three feet ahead ·and anticipate their moves." Since that first show in 2005, the sport has been gradual:ly growing, with 10 competitions in the past year. It's also ·spreading to other countries: this year for the flrst time there will be a competition in Hong Kong and in mainland .China. This season will also be the first in which the Cat :fanciers' Association (CFA) will start granting titles to the highest scoring competitors. Anyone can enter a show and try out agility with their cat, says Jill Archibald, CPA's agility coordinator. It doesn't need to be a purebred, and it doesn't need to have trained in advance.

Bv D AVID M INTHORN ASSOCIATED PRESS · ·Why Architecture :Matters·· (Yale University :Press, 273 pages. $26) by ;Paul Goldberger: Not long •after completing his icono:clastic Glass House in 1949. :architect Philip Johnson :traded barbs as revealing as •the see-through walls. : "Ver)' nice, but I couldn't :live there,'' a pretentious ;visitor said. "I haven't :asked you to, Madame:· .Johnson retorted. : Paul Goldberger cites the :exchange in his new book to ;underline lofty goah of architecture. Great houses are seldom uplifting to those who live in them. he writes. Human comfort is secondary when buildings aspire to high art. "It is churlish to complain that Frank Lloyd Wright's houses leak, or that Le Corbusier's weather badly or that Frank Gehry's are A fficult to construct," W oldberger says of modernist visionaries. "A leaky roof is not our problem, and neither is the fact that we might not wish to live in such a building ourselves." Visual pleasure as a higher good than comfort and practicality? It smacks of architectural arrogance. Goldberger's answer is that buildings primarily disappoint ··not because of failure to deliver on their aesthetic aspirations but because their architects had given up on aesthetic aspirations altogether and thought only in tem1s of efficiency." His examples are everywhere: The hospital that is a "cold. forbidding environtment'' for patients and staff; ~e school designed '"more for the ease of the custodial .staff' than the students and airports with concourses" for moving airs rather than people; .-and strip malls planned ,\·solely to make it easier to •drive cars in and out.'' : "Why Architecture "Matters." in the author's , words. is an attempt to "come :to grips with how things feel . to us when we stand before :them ... emotionally as well :as intellectually." • He wants readers "to look, :and ... to trust your eye," and ;he .erovides the basics by distllling architectural theories into lucid concepts, and analyzing structures that exemplify notable styles. In Goldberger's view,.no one has summed up architecture better than Vitruvius of ancient Rome, who posited that a successful building "must simultaneously be useful, well built and visually appealing." His cogent analyses range the cavernous Pantheon • ancient Rome to Georgian mansions in England, from New York's sleek Seagram Building by Ludwig Mies van der Robe to Gehry's audacious Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, 'and Beijing's mind-bending CCTV tower by Rem ,Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren. Goldberger writes in a broad brush, aphoristic style honed as the New Yorker magazine's "Sky Line'" columnist. His insights are riveting, such as this on Roman churches: "A Baroque facade speaks of texture most of all - of curves, of depths and shadows. of decoration that is assertively three dimensional. It is architecture of the highest order of sensuality. You may find 1t wreaks of -excess, or ... that it represents the closest that built form hal> come to represent. ecstasy, but you are not y to forget it." Raised in Nutley, N.J., JO miles west of Manhattan, .Goldberger isn't just big city in his tastes. His architectural universe embraces aesthetic quality in any style if properly sited, be it clapboard houses of New England, the French Gothic splendor of Chartres Cathedral. the serenity of India's Taj Mahal or the flowing Lawn of the University of Virginia. M m Sunday, January 31, 2010 'Catcher in the Rye' author J.D. Salinger dies· BY HILLEL ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK J.D. Salinger. the legendary author, youth hero and fugitive from fame whose "The Catcher in the Rye'' shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned. has died. He was 91. Salinger died of natural causes at his home on Wednesday, the author's son. actor Matt Salinger, said in a statement from Salinger's longtime literary representative, Harold Ober Associates, Inc. He had lived for decades in selfimposed isolation in a small, remote house in Cornish. N.H . ''The Catcher in the Rye," with its immortal teenage protagonist, the twisted, rebellious Holden Caulfield, came out in 1951. a time of anxious. Cold War conformity and the dawn of modem adolescence. The Bookof-the-Month Club, which made "Catcher" a featured selection, advised that for "anyone who has ever brought up a son" the novel will be '"a source of wonder and delight - and concern.'' Enraged by all the "phonies" who make "me so depressed I go crazy." Holden soon became American literature's most famous anti-hero since Hucklebeny Finn. The novel's sales are astonishing - more than 60 million copies worldwide - and its impact incalculable. Decades after publication, the book remains a defining expression of that most American of dreams: to never grow up. Salinger was writing for adults, but teenagers from all over identified with the novel's themes of alienation, innocence and fantasy. not to mention the luck of having the last word. "Catcher" presents the world as an ever-so-unfair struggle between the goodness of young people and the corruption of elders, a message that only intensified with the oncoming generation gap. Novels from Evan Hunter's "The Blackboard Jungle" to Curtis Sittenfeld's "Prep," movies from "Rebel Without a Cause" to "The Breakfast Club," and countless rock 'n' roll songs echoed Salinger's message of kids · under siege. One of the great anti-heroes of the 1960s, Benjamin Braddock of "The Graduate," was but a blander version of Salinger's narrator. "'Catcher in the Rye' made a very powerful and surprising impression on me," said Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Michael Chabon, who read the book, as so many did, when he was in middle school. "Part of it was the fact that our seventh grade teacher was actually Jetting us read such a book. But mostly it was because 'Catcher' had such a recognizable authenticity in the voice that even in 1977 or so, when I read it. felt surprising and rare in literature." "Many readers were created by 'The Catcher in The Rye,' and many writers, too," said "Everything Is Illuminated" novelist Jonathan Safran Foer. "He and his characters embodied a kind of American resistance that has been sorely missed these last few years, and will now be missed even more." T he cult of "Catcher" turned tragic in December 1980 when crazed Beatles fan Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon, citing Salinger 's novel as an inspiration and stating that "'th1s extraordinary book holds many answers.'' A few months later, a copy of ''Catcher" was found m the hotel room of John David H inckley after he attempted to assassinate President Reagan. By the 2 1st century, Holden himself seemed relatively mild, but Salinger's book remained a standard in school curriculums and was discussed on countless Web sites and a fan page on Facebook. AP photo Copies of J.D. Salinger's classic novel "The Catcher in the Rye" as well as his volume of short stories called "Nine Stories" are see~. at the Orange Public Library in Orange Village, Ohio on Thursday. Salinger. the legendary author, youth hero and fug1t1ve from fame whose ''The Catcher in the Rye" shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned, died Wednesday at the age of 91. At left is a 1951 photo of the author. Salinger fans shared their grief Thursday on social networks. Topics such as "Salinger'" and "Holden Caufield'" were an1ong the most popular on Twitter. CNN's Larry King tweeted that ''Catcher" 1s his favorite book. Humorist John Hodgman wrote: "I prefer to think JD Salinger has just decided to become extra reclusive." As of Thursday night, "Catcher" was in the top 20 on Amazon.com's best-seller list. Salinger's other books don't equal the influence or sales of "Catcher,'' but they are still read, again and again, with great affection and intensity. Critics. at least briefly. rated Salinger as a more accomplished and daring short story writer than John Cheever. The collection "Nine Stories" features the classic "For Esme - with Love and Squalor." the deadpan account of a suicidal Army veteran and the little girl he hopes, in vain, will save him. The fictional work "Franny and Zooey," like "Catcher," is a youthful, obsessively articulated quest for redemption, featuring a memorable argument between Zooey and his mother as he attempts to read in the bathtub. "Everyone who works here and writes here at The New Yorker. even now, decades after his silence began, does so with a keen awareness of J .0. Salinger's voice," said David Remnkk, editor of The New Yorker, where many of Salinger's stories appeared. ''He is so widely read in America. and read with such intensity, that it's hard to think of any reader, young and old, who does not carry around the voices of Holden Caulfield or Glass family members." "Catcher," narrated from a mental facility, begins with Holden recalling his expulsion from boarding school for failing four classes and for general apathy. He returns home to Manhattan, where his wanderings take him everywhere from a Times Square hotel to a rainy carousel ride with his kid sister, Phoebe, in Central Park. He decides he wants to escape to a cabin out West, but scorns questions about his future as just so much phoniness. "I mean how do you know what you're going to do till you do it?" he reasons. "The answer is. you don't. I think I am, but how do I know? I swear it's a stupid question.'' "The Catcher in the Rye" became both required and restricted reading, periodically banned by a school board or challenged by parents worried by its frank language and the irresistible chip on Holden's shoulder. '"I'm aware that a number of my friends will be saddened. or shocked, or shocked-saddened, over some of the chapters of 'The Catcher in the Rye.' Some of my best friends are children. In fact, all of my best friends are children,"' Salinger wrote in 1955, in a shott note for "20th Century Authors.'" "It's almost unbearable to me to realize that my book will be kept on a shelf out of their reach," he added. Salinger also wrote the novellas ··Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters'' and "Seymour An Introduction," both featuring the neurotic, fictional Glass family that appeared in much of his work. His last published story, " Hapworth 16, 1928,'" ran in The New Yorker in 1965. By then, he was increasingly viewed like a precocious child whose manner had soured from cute to insufferable. "Salinger was the greatest mind ever to stay in prep school," Norman Mailer once remarked. In 1997. it was announced that ''Hapworth'' would be reissued as a book prompting a (negative) New York Times review. The book. in typical Salinger style, didn't appear. In 1999, New Hampshire neighbor Jerry Burt said the author had told him years earlier that he had written at least 15 unpublished books kept locked in a safe at his home. "I love to write and I assure you I write regularly," Salinger said in a brief interview with the Baton Rouge (La.) Advocate in 1980. "But I write for myself, for my own p leasure. And I want to be left alone to do it.'' The mystery of the safe continued Thursday. Salinger's representative at the Ober agency, Phyllis Westberg, declined comment on whether the author had any unpublished work. Spokeswoman Heather Rizzo of Little, Brown and Co., Salinger's longtime publisher. said she had "no news on future releases." Jerome David Salinger was born Jan. 1, 1919, in New York City. His father was a wealthy importer of cheeses and meat and the family lived for years on Park Avenue. L ike Holden, Salinger was an indifferent student with a history of trouble in various schools. He was sent to Valley Forge Military Academy at age 15, where he wrote at night by flashlight beneath the covers and eventually earned his only diploma. In 1940, he published his first fiction, ''The Young Folks.''· in Story magazine. He served in the Army from 1942 to 1946, carrying a typewriter with him most of the time. writing '"whenever I can find the time and an unoccupied foxhole," he told a friend. Returning to New York, the lean, dark-haired Salinger pursued an intense study of Zen Buddhism but also cut a gregarious figure in the bars of Greenwich Village, where he astonished acquaintances with his proficiency in rounding up dates. One drinking buddy, author A.E. Hotchner, would remember Salinger as the proud owner of an "ego of cast iron," contemptuous of writers and writing schools, convinced that he was the best thing to happen to American letters since Herman Melville . Holden ftrst appeared as a character in the story "Last Day of the Last Furlough," published in 1944 in the Saturday Evening Post. Salinger's stories ran in several magazines, especially The New Yorker, where excerpts from "Catcher" were published. The finished novel quickly became a best seller and early reviews were blueprints for the praise and condemnation to come. The New York Times found the book "an unusually brilliant first novel" and observed that H olden's "delinquencies seem minor indeed when contrasted with the adult delinquencies with which he is confronted.'' But the Christian Science Monitor was not charmed. "He is alive. human, preposterous. profane and pathetic beyond belief," critic T. Morris Longstreth wrote of Holden. The world had come calling for Salinger. but Salinger was bolting the door. By 1952, he had migrated to Cornish. Three years later, he married Claire Douglas. with whom he had two children, Margaret and Matt, before their 1967 divorce . (Salinger was also briefly married in the 1940s to a woman named Sylvia; little else is known about her.) Meanwhile, he refused interviews, instructi ng his agent not to forward fan mail and reported!} spending much of his time writing in a cement bunker. Sanity, apparently, could on!) come through seclusion. Although Salinger initially contemplated a theater production of "Catcher,'' with the author himself playing Holden, he turned down numerous offers for film or stage rights. including requests from Billy Wilder and Elia Kazan. Bids from Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein were also rejected. In recent years, he was a notable holdout against allowing his books to appear in digital form. Salinger so disliked fame he was willing to sue. In 1982, he sued a man who allegedly tried to sell a fictitious interview with the author to a national magazine. The impostor agreed to desist and Salinger dropped the suit. Five years later, another Salinger legal action resulted in an important decision b)' the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court refused to allow publication of an unauthorized biography, by Ian Han1ilton, that quoted from the author's unpublished letters. Salinger ha<;i copyrighted the letter~ when he learned about Hamilton's book. which came out in a revised edition in I 988. . In 2009. Salinger sued to halt publication of John David California's ''60 Years Later," an unauthorized sequel to ··catcher'' that imagined Holden in his 70s, misanthropic as ever. . Against Salinger 's wilL the cu1tain was parted in recent years. In 1998, author Joyce Maynard published her memoir .. At Home in the World,'" in which she detailed her eight-montb affair with Salinger in the early 1970s; she~ was less than half his age. She recalled an unflattering pic~ ture of a controlling personality with eccentric eating habits, and described their problematic sex life. ' In 2000. daughtet Margaret Salinger·~ "Dreamcatcher" portrayed the writer as an unpleasant recluse who drank his own urine and spoke in tongues. Actor Matt Salinger, the author's other child, disputed his sister's book when it came out and labeled it "gothic tales of our supposed childhood."

PageC6 Sunday, January 31, 2010 Lose yourself in new 'Lost' season, or get lost B Y F RAZIER MOORE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - You got a sense of ho\\ "Lost" ranks in the scheme of things when President Burack Obama saw it coming and blinked. Sure, this wasn't exactly a showdown between the leader of the free world (with hb State of the Union address) and a TV series about people on an island. But Obama could ha' e scheduled his annual address for. say. this coming Tuesday night if he'd wanted to - the same night "'Lost" was already scheduled by ABC to start its ""hich final season would have left millions of ''Lost" fans wondenng where the island went this time. Despite fans fretting that such a bit of presidential one-upmanship might actually happen, Obama saw fit to do his State of the Union address a week before. And, like it was always intended, "Lost" \viii do its thing Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST. Then "Lost" fans can take satisfaction, however fanciful, that, instead of someone moving the island. Obama moved his speech. Make no mistake. this is a big deal to ··Lost" fans: the beginning of the end 0f an epic mystery-thriller-whathave-you after six thrilling. mystical seasons. Just 18 episodes remain. after which the series, and a certain brand of national obsession, will be over. The vast "Lost" lore - or most of it, or a teeny-weeny smidgen, at least - will finally make sense. Or not. You remember how last season ended. Jack (Matthew Fox) deployed a nuclear warhead that, if things went as he hoped, would rewrite history by destroying a huge pocket of electromagnetic energ) that may have been responsible for pulling Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 out of the sky on the series· premiere and setting the whole darn sho"" in motion. In short, if this scheme worked, Flight 815 would have made it to Los Angeles as scheduled, while the show would have instantly been zeroed out. Then, like an M.C. Escher drawing, "Lost" would have disappeared into itself, or so it seems. and for the rest of the coming season, ABC would have to air something else. (Jimmy Kimmel in prime time')) Another of the weird things you may recall from the finale: Locke (Terr) O'Quinn) had an unprecedented audience with the never-before-seen uberboss of the island. Jacob. But at the same time the meeting took place. a corpse that looked remarkably like Locke was lying on the beach in pasty-faced repose. Can anyone on "Lost" coexist both living and dead? Was the other, walk ing-talking "Locke" some sort of impressionist just doing a really good imitation of O'Quinn? And does he ever play Vegas'' Questions like that have been piling up and preying on "Lost'' fans ever since. Fair warning! Now that a new season is here with a final infusion of fodder. speculation among "Lost" faithful could be rising to an unprecedented pitch - and pushing the patience of "Lost" nonobservers to the breaking point. Consider a video spoof on The Onion's Web site. which cautions that the "final season of · Lost' promises to make fans more annoying than ever." "Do you think the show can REALLY surpass how incredibly aggravating the PROUD TO BE APART OF YOUR LIFE. The Sunda) 'fimes-Selltine/ Subscnbe today 446-2342 or 992·2155 fans were LAST season?" the Onion News '\l'et\\Ork anchor asks his entertainment reporter. "Is that even possible?" "No one knows for sure," ~he replies chirpily. ''but the show\ producers are confident." So are officials around the country. According to The Onion. cities including Chicago and Seattle are convinced "that fans will be so much worse than previous years. the) ·ve already announced they'll be providing shelter Tuesday nights for anyone unlucky enough to be living with a 'Lost' fan." No doubt about it: "Lost'' really gets its belie\ers revved up. In this week's Newsweek magazine, columnist Joshua Alston writes that "more than anything else - and more than any other acclaimed show ever on television - 'Lost' is a show about faith." But wait, there's more: '"Lost' has gone beyond being just a show about faith to being a meta-commentaf) on faith.'' Alston concludes that "Lost." above all. is "a show about the big questions that lie at the heart of the human experience.'' Or is it just possibl) a sho\\ about the big questions lying at the heart of the shO\\? Whatever, ·'Lost'" fans will be turning up the volume as they debate those questions. desperate to tease out the answers (and metaanswers) while wishing on some level they might never be burdened with what passes for truth. Especially from a civilian. In a hilarious scene on the NBC comedy "30 Rock" last fall, bubble-headed blond Jenna Maroney barged in on three of her colleagues watching "Battlestar Galactica'' on a laptop at the office. ··so this all started when their plane crashed?" asked Jenna. trying to fit in. "That's 'Lost,"' Toofer told her dismissively. "Oh. tight:· she replied. unfazed. "You know. I met ('Lost' creator) J.J. Abrams once. and I don't know what this means. but he said the island is just Hurley's dream." To that, all three reacted with scorn. Dude! "Lost" is too important for pretenders to take part. For this final season. the "Lost" flock have license to be more obsessed and aggravating than ever, and they mean to exercise it. Anybody else is welcome to seek refuge.

Review: Darwin evolves in quiet, classy 'Creation' Bv DAVID GERMAIN · ASSOCIATED PRESS "Creation" is a pretty small film considering its huge themes - evolution vs. divinity, essentially. Dar\\in vs. God. Small actually benefits here in presenting what is. for many, a black-and-white debate about whether life on Earth developed through nature's random opportunism or the guiding hand of a supreme maker. Rather than flailing away over the evolution question itself. director Jon Amiel casts the maner in personal terms as Charles Darwin (Paul Benany) wmngles with the book that would spread the theory. his own loss of faith over the death of a daughter the backdrop to his struggle. A film about the theory of evolution itself would simply be more noise in a quarrel that has raged for 150 years and is not going away any time soon. A film about a man whose grief threatens to drown his work, beliefs and home life. that sounds like a promising stOr). "Creation" doesn't aim to preach Darwinism, which would be a pointless exercise given how dug in people are on both sides of the matter. Going right to the progenitor of the issue, though, the film does reflect that contradictory beliefs can co-exist peaceably. even under the same roof, trumped by rules of attraction and devotion rooted in our genes. . Based on Darv..·m descendant Randal Keynes· book "Annie ·s Box." the film presents Dan.vin as a man tom between disseminating his great idea and just shutting himself in his study to wallow in mourning. The death of his I 0-year- old daughter Annie (Martha West) haunts and paralyzes him, shattering his faith and straining relations with his deeply religious wife, Emma (Jennifer Connelly, Bettany's real-life spouse). Perpetually ailing himself, Darwin faces external pressures over his evolution research exhortations to publish from kindred spirit Thomas Huxley (Toby Jones). stern moralizing about devotion to God from a local pastor (Jeremy Northam). Darwin's chief conflict as he builds toward the writing of "On the Origin of Species" is what the book means for his departed daughter and her mother's conviction that the girl's soul lives on eternally. As period dramas go, ''Creation" is quiet and modest, sparse in action and decked out with classy but unassuming costumes and sets. Connelly is austere and rather flat sa\e in one cathartic emotiOnal outburst. The heart of "Creation" is Darwin's relationship ""ith Annie. p out in flashbacks and S) conversations the has with his dead daughter. ··creation," a Kewmarket Films release. is rated PG13 for some intense thematic material.

Dahlia tubers and cruma rhizomes should be checked monthly looking for fungus disease and rots. If you see some damage. cut it off and throw the diseased part away. Allow the cut portion to heal naturally for a day or two or sprinkle with sulfur dust then place back into cool storage . Hibiscus plants should be losing leaves due to low light conditions of winter so just lightly water still until late March when you can repot and increase water frequency. Check for mealy bugs (whitish bugs along the stems) and aphids (small green bugs at the growing tips). If noticed take a Q-tip and rub off the insects from the plant or spray the insects with insecticidal soap spray. Continue to lightly water plants to keep the root systems alive but use none or minimal amounts of fertilizer as most plants are in a dormant stage waiting spring. Do not over water as most plants die from too wet conditions around their root systems. Enjoy the greenery of your houseplants, because if Punxsutawny Phil sees his shadow Tuesday, there will be six more weeks of winter.

Quota holders and producers can enter into successor-in-interest contracts beginning Jan. 19. 2010, which will enable them to receive lump-sum payments by selling their remaining four TTPP payments. Approximately $5.3 billion has been paid to tobacco quota holders and producers with this sixth round of payments . Since 2005, third parti~s bought more than 170.000 TTPP contracts worth approximately $2 .9 bi llion. TTPP, also called the "tobacco buy-out;' helps tobacco quota holders and producers transition to the free market. The Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004 ended the Depression-era tobacco quota program and established the TTPP. The program provides annual tran~itional payments for 10 years to eligible tobacco quota holders and producers. Payments began in 2005 and continue through 2014. Payments are funded through assessments of approximately $10 billion on tobacco product manufacturers and importers. For more information on TTPP and other FSA programs, visit your local FSA county office or go to the Web site, http://www.fsa.usda.gov. USDA is an equal opportunity provider. employer and lender.

If vou arc considering bu.> ing ·one in the ncar future, l would like to give you a few tips that might make shopping for your next one a little easier. There arc a gazillion sofas out there to choose from but when you start looking serious Iy. you feel like your choicl.!s have been narrowed down. After all. when you weed out the wrong colors and the ones that \VOn 't fit. suddenly there are only a few that will work. At least it feels that way. Ver.> quick!) you become discouraged and want to g1\e up Well don't. There really are more to choose from than you think. When you walk into a store cons1der that most of the sofas vou see arc available in hundreds of different fabrics. It's not just more of the same fabric in ditl'ercnt colors, but many different patterns as well. I suggest that you go ahead and sit on the ones that aren't scream ing your name as well as the ones that arc, because you may be missing out on the most comfortable sofa you have ever been on. If you find that perfect fit. then start searching fabrics. Finding the right fabric may be all this not so perfect sofa needs to make it perfect. Salespeople should be eager to help you choose a suitable fabric for .>our nC\\ I) found comf.> sofa. (After all. that is their job!) Kno\\ too. that if there 'arc exposed wood legs. or feet. the llnish color can usuall.> be changed to match your decor. I realize this may take a little imagination on your part to visualize but give it a try, you may be better at it than you think! Speaking of comfort. it is imperative that you not only sit on a sofa. but that you stretch out on it as well. It's ok. really. Get comfortable. kick off your shOI!s! If )OU nap on your sofa at home. (and don't \.\C all) then doesn't it make sense to sec if it is comfortable for sleeping? E\'ery salesperson or designer worth her salt w111 encourage ) ou to do so. You are making an important purchase and you need to be sure that it is a good tit for you. Now, let's consider quality. How do you know a well made sofa from a cleverly disguised piece of junk? First, are you shopping in a reputable store? If a store has been around for several decades then they are obviously doing something right. If it offers service after the sale. then most likely you won't need it! But it's nice to know that they are there if )OU do. Ask them if they service what they sell Next, if the salesperson IS knowledgeable and shows enthusiasm it generally means that they believe in this particular product. Salespeople want to sell quality items so that their customers remain happy and come back to buy from them again. Another important thmg to know is that some lesser quality sofas can "look" like something you saw in a better brand. My suggestion is that you look very closely. Carla Wamsley Look for seat cushions that arc nice and thick. The fabric should be on both sides of the cushions so that you can flip them regularly. Fabric patterns should match up from the back to the seat cushiOns and dO\\ n the front to the floor. Fabrics should be considered for their clean-abilih and durability. Some fabric's can be cleaned with water and detergents without lea\mg a water ring behind. Some will need a solvent which .> ou will have to purchase through your local drycleaner or in the cleaning section at your grocery store. Some can be cleaned with dry, powder type cleaners. A sofa should have some "heft" to it. If you can pick up the end of a sofa b.> yourself, (with one hand tied behind your back) that is NOT a good sign! Ask about the frame. Is it solid hardwood? That is best. What is the spring system? Coil springs that are hand tied are ideal. Some sinuous (S-shaped . like in your car scats) are good. and usually very comfortable. Some companies have their own spring systems that are totally unique to their brand. Ask the salesperson to explain how they work. You also need to consider the role this sofa will play in your home. Is it going to be in the room that you use every day? Will there be children or pets on this sofa? Do you eat and drink on this sofa? lf the answer is yes to any of these questions. then you need to con s1der the most durable sofa that )OU can buy. likewise if this is the sofa that will ha\ e to last for fifteen years! On the other hand. if you plan to put this sofa in a room where no one eYer sits (you know, the room that ma) as well have a velvet rope in the doorway!) then consider a less expensive sofa with a great look. This is the room that you could use a higher grade of fabric to get a very high end look. A note about fabric grades: a higher grade does not refer to higher quality and vice versa. The grade of the fabric from low to high generally refers to price, not quality. l have. all too often. seen the look of excitement in a client's eyes turn into a look of despair when they become overwhelmed by their choices. It can be as if they have been dropped in a foreign country where they don't know a soul and they also don't speak the language. Hopefully this information will make you feel more comfortable on your journey to find that perfect new sofa.
