Cook on two different levels at once using the Divide and Conquer Flexible Cooking System or use the two split heat deflectors for indirect cooking and baking for truly versatile cooking. The patented Kontrol Tower top vent maintains a consistent air setting for precise temperature management, and it will not slip out of position as the lid is opened. The top vent is constructed with cast aluminum for superior resistance to rust.

The lid will also stay open at any desired position, allowing you to cook with the lid partially open if you choose to. The heat-resistant ceramic coating is sure to keep your grill looking as good as it performs.

Dover Rapid Bus Transit (BRT) system to accelerate housing growth
Dover District Council has been awarded £15.8m from the Government's Housing Infrastructure Fund to support the development of a Bus Rapid Transit System (BRT) between Whitfield, Dover Town Centre and Dover Priory railway station. The new infrastructure helps unlock the potential of two major housing sites at Whitfield and the former Connaught Barracks. The funding for Dover was the highest award in the country.
Together the Whitfield Urban Expansion and Connaught Barracks have the potential to deliver 6,250 new homes. Work is already underway on the first units of the Whitfield Urban Expansion, and Homes England is due to consider its preferred bidder on the first phase of development at Connaught Barracks soon.
The development of the Bus Rapid Transit System is designed to take traffic off key local roads and to connect with the growing business community on the White Cliffs Business Park which is seeing major investment, including the new £26m Dover District Leisure Centre.
The key elements of infrastructure needed for the BRT includes:
A bridge over the A2 for bus, pedestrian and cycle access
Dedicated bus link through White Cliffs Business Park (to Dover Road)
Widening of Dover Road and a new junction onto Castle Hill Road
Junction Improvements at Castle Hill Road
Potential future development of a Public Transport Hub in York Street, Dover
Cllr Keith Morris, Leader of Dover District Council, said: "This is fantastic news and will help us realise our ambition to connect Whitfield to Dover town centre, and high speed services from Dover Priory railway station.
"This investment from central government gives confidence to developers to accelerate house building at Whitfield and Connaught Barracks to deliver the new family homes that are key to Dover's economy.
"We'll be working with Kent County Council and Homes England, along with developers and land owners to finalise the programme of works which are planned for completion by 2021."
Kent County Council Cabinet Member for Planning, Highways, Transport and Waste, Cllr Mike Whiting said: "I am delighted that the merits of the Bus Rapid Transit scheme in Dover have been recognised by government with the award of £15.8 million in funding.
"Providing the infrastructure will significantly help achieve a sustainable community in Dover by providing access to reliable journeys.
"The funding will also greatly assist in kick-starting housing within the district and manage the subsequent traffic impact on the highway network.
"The success of this bid is another excellent example of collaborative working between the district and county council and we look forward to working with Dover District Council in progressing this scheme."
Thirteen projects across the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) area are to receive a share of more than £82m of the Government's Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) to help deliver 13,443 new homes across Kent, Essex, East Sussex, Thurrock and Southend.
Christian Brodie, Chairman of SELEP, said: "Each of the 13 schemes, championed by the respective council's and endorsed by SELEP, will make an important contribution to the delivery of new homes.
"Having secured nearly £1 in every £10 of the £866m earmarked nationally to support local housing projects, it clearly shows the Government recognises the role our area can play in helping to fix the broken housing market."
Note to editors
The £5 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund is a government capital grant programme to help unlock new homes in areas with the greatest housing demand. Funding is awarded to local authorities on a highly competitive basis.

Portugal. The Man announce New Zealand and Australia dates for May
by Steve McCabe • 24 February, 2018 • 0 Comments
Portugal. The Man are continuing to take the world by storm, and Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce that the Alaskan juggernaut is set to perform a series of Groovin' The Moo sideshows, playing headline shows along Australia's East Coast as well as a one-off show in Auckland!
After running at an incredible pace of an album a year, the band took some extra time with their new music – maybe too much. They tired, and dismayed with the recordings, decided to discard the whole album. Starting afresh with the goal of making something more appropriate for the times we live in, they started and completed Woodstock in just a couple months.
With their most socially conscious music to date, the band found inspiration in lead singer John Gourley's trip home to Wasilla, Alaska, where he encountered a combination of parental tough love and his old man's original ticket stub from the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival. Breaking free from the musical difficulties they'd faced over recent years, the band set out in the same tradition of bands from the Woodstock era, feeling inspired to speak out about the world crumbling around them.
With contributions from John Hill (In the Mountain In the Cloud), Danger Mouse (Evil Friends), Mike D (Everything Cool) and long time collaborator Casey Bates (the one consistent producer since the first record), the album has been met with huge success, peaking at # 3 on Billboard's US Top Alternative Albums chart.
'The 11-song set hits on themes of Alaskan life, fantasy, home and growing up, all set to a funky and psychedelic Motown-inspired beat.' – Washington Post
'Binding the whole piece more than even the cross-faded tracks, is the limber voice of singer-songwriter John Baldwin Gourley, which can hop north into a crystal falsetto, or drop down into a soulful moan at a second's notice.' – Pitchfork
Woodstock features massive, Grammy award-winning single 'Feel It Still', which reached 3x ARIA Platinum, peaked at #5 on the ARIA charts and came in at #26 on triple j's Hottest 100 for 2017. Adding to their global presence, new single 'Live In The Moment' is currently sitting at more than 7 million views on YouTube and at #1 on Triple A and alternative radio in the United States following a performance of the track on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The band is also set to appear at Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
Returning to Australian shores this May for the first time since 2014, where they played Laneway Festival and had a national run of 22 shows, the American heavyweights will certainly be challenging Aussie audiences to get on their feet when they take their latest album and a collection of hot favourites out on the road.
Don't miss out on this run, including a one-off show in Auckland!

RED SPARROW – a lofty goal, but a misfire →


There have been many new lounges appearing around the world. Each offering a unique level of luxury and identity that has meant a broad and interesting collection of spaces in a variety of spaces. Excellent spaces that didn't make the list, but should still be commended, include Virgin America's 'The Loft' in LAX, Hong Kong's new independent Plaza Lounge and last year's 'Dolce Vita' lounge in Rome for Alitalia.
Whilst there are a few familiar faces compared to last year's list, there are some new faces here, showcasing the recent investment into the customer experience in the aviation field. Whilst these lounges have been awarded the recognition on an overall product, from service, to space, to their individuality, it is predominantly the design of the lounges that has the weighing factor.
Designed more as a private club than a lounge, Qatar Airways new business class lounge in London Heathrow is a welcome change to the more generic spaces that are gradually fading away at the UK's main airport. The space features a wealth of zones, from Brasseries to Delicatessens, Showers to IT zones. The Signature Martini bar however is the perfect way to unwind after a long day at work, before boarding a flight to Doha. There is even a wine tasting menu to delve into. The entire space, which has a modern and striking Middle Eastern design, is both elegant and defined and helps lift the otherwise slightly dreary Terminal 4 experience. This combined with the new 787 service from London, is a must-do trip. The touches of Qatar Airways' Middle Eastern heritage, Arabic calligraphy on walls and carpets, the mosaics and the gentle sounds of water features and atmospheric scents of real olive trees and herbs around the dining areas, this is one fully immersive experience not to be missed.
Opened a little over a month ago, the new Air New Zealand 'Star Alliance' Lounge at the Thomas Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles' LAX airport is the first indoor/outdoor lounge at the airport. It is a haven for travelers in the new TBIT terminal. It's not small either, the new premium customer facility offers space for around 400 Business Class and Star Alliance Gold passengers, including an exclusive area for First Class passengers. Designed by global architectural firm Gensler, the 18,000 square foot (1,675 square meter) lounge features a unique open air terrace, featuring fire pits and a water wall, offering panoramic views of the northern runway towards the Hollywood Hills. The lounge's experience zones are designed to accommodate passenger needs ranging from social gatherings to quiet time away from home. In addition to the outdoor terrace, the lounge offers a bar area for socializing, a library space, a den, a study and a media room. Those wishing to freshen up before their flight can do so in one of eight shower rooms. Run by Air New Zealand, expect brilliant service, great food and a wonderful wine selection.
We love that LAN & TAM have combined forces, investing into creating a 'Best Of Latin America' offering for their travelers. The latest investment is in the shape of five VIP lounges for their premium passengers. The first of which is the El Dorado lounge in Bogota, designed by Olivia Putman, and is a retro-über-styled lounge. LAN and TAM offer their passengers a dedicated (and thoughtful) children's area, along with relaxation areas, individual bathrooms, showers, chaise lounges for sleeping, Business Centers and unique beverages and cuisine inspired by all that the region has to offer.
And what of the service offering? Expect nothing less than the warm hospitality that South America is famous for. It's the design we love here, which is more Mad Men in style. A hint of 1960′s luxe, that brings our hearts back to an era of true JetSet glamour, once found only by the exclusive international premium travelers of some of the biggest American carriers. A lovely touch is that the lounges are also available to premium economy passengers, further enhancing the product in all of their premium cabins.
Last year number 9, Turkish Airlines 1100sq/m CIP lounge in Istanbul really makes the airline the real 'European' version of the Middle Eastern counterparts. The airline lounge is separated out into small sections, carefully done with a clever use of joint arches that span the area. Grand pianos, TV screens, pool tables, library, showers and an array of differing dining options separated out into unique dining areas feature in the lounge. The only thing that is missing is a view of the apron, still, with live flight tracking, there's something there to keep the aviation geek in all of us happy. The big thing here is the design though, it's so stylish, modern and effortlessly mimics the design aesthetic of the region, making the lounge a destination in itself. Turkish Airlines, as it has expanded dramatically over the past 12 month, is becoming an airline to contend with!
A non-mover this year, but the second entry for Qatar Airways. A private terminal with chauffeur driven cars to the plane, perfect. Qatar Airways really does deserve its 5 star Skytrax rating for how it treats its passengers (more like guests than travelers). This dedicated terminal is a calm, tranquil and subtle Middle Eastern gem. Polished surfaces, swathes of orchids, a spa that belongs in a hotel and some of the best lounge staff in the industry really set this airline's lounge experience apart from the others.
Valet parking, personal staff, a cigar lounge, even the opportunity to take a bath makes you feel like you've come home, rather than taking a flight, and whilst there are cocktails, a lá carte menus and fine wines to splash out on, don't be fooled, this terminal means business. Wifi, business centers, printing, faxing and a host of gadgetry means that this is more an office than your actual office. We love the design of this terminal, it plays to its efficiency and doesn't add any unnecessary flourishes to its design, and if the reviews of the actual product are anything to go by, a must visit!
The perfect place to prepare or recover for your long flight to Los Angeles, perhaps, the lounge is split into three different seating themes, with the addition of a lá carte dining, spa treatments, bubbling indoor water features and a wealth of luxurious offerings mean that Emirates, normally a one-stop airline for most travelers, means the stopover can now actually be better than the mini-cabins of the airplanes themselves. No mean feat. Recently the airline has improved the service offering in the lounge, helping it climb the ladder this year to a respectable 3rd place. If only the place felt a little more intimate, we could see it climbing higher.
What is it about Aussies that just get design so right. Qantas is no exception, with a lounge spearheaded by their Creative Director Marc Newson the International First Class lounge really is leaps and bounds ahead of their competitors. A large lounge, compartmentalized to provide smaller areas of privacy. There's a spa that can offer a 50 minute long all body massage surrounded by a living wall of lush green foliage, a restaurant with fine Australian cuisine on tables that look like helipads and a wine list that any Michelin-starred restaurant would be proud of. There's also a library, and business center (naturally), and a sweeping panorama of the airport.
Split into two lounges, connected by a walkway, on entering the hardest decision you have to make is 'left or right' as each wing offers a slightly different experience. This wonderful lounge, which we will review in detail soon, is supported by a myriad of other lounge experiences, from dark and intimate lounges, to practical and light and airy lounges, Cathay have managed to create a sense of unity in their design, whilst offering every traveler something to fall in love with.
But it's not just the clean lines, marble finishes, artworks, textures and soft furnishings that make these lounges sing to us. It's the service levels, whereby every staff member is a sheer delight every time we have visited. It's hard to treat these lounges as anything but one entity, as you are able to visit all of them or just one (such as The Cabin which featured in last year's list) when you fly.
Whilst they are spread out, they work as one, and each lounge has familiar elements that run throughout them all. We salute Cathay Pacific in 2013, with their new business class, excellent first class product and lounges to die for, this airline has quietly taken on its competitors, and won.

Lobotomy memoir reconnects woman with childhood friend
By LYNNETTE HINTZE , Daily Inter Lake (via AP)
KALISPELL — There's no logical explanation why Deb Newell chose a used book called "My Lobotomy" from the sale rack at the West Shore Community Library in Lakeside.
She's typically drawn to historical fiction, not memoirs. A volunteer librarian even questioned Newell's choice of that particular book because it was so far astray from what she normally reads.
"Why am I drawn to this book?" she wondered. "It wasn't appealing to me."
But she bought it anyway.
The memoir is the poignant story of Howard Dully's life before and after he was given a transorbital, or "ice-pick" lobotomy on his 12th birthday in 1960. Psychiatrist Walter Freeman performed the horrific procedure, inserting an ice pick through Dully's eye sockets to alter his brain.
"He poked these knitting needles into my skull, through my eye sockets, and then swirled them around until he had scrambled things up enough," Dully recalls in the book he co-authored with Charles Fleming.
When Newell, a longtime Lakeside resident, began reading the unusual memoir in the middle of the night a while back, she was astounded to learn that Dully's family had lived at the low-income Spartan Village student-housing complex near San Jose State University during the same time Newell's family had lived there in the early 1950s. The photographs in the book of him as a young boy triggered memories. She was certain she knew him.
At 3 a.m. Newell was compelled to dig out old photo albums — she studied those black and white snapshots from so long ago, then studied the photos in the book, and grew more and more certain he was a childhood pal from her time at Spartan Village.
Her family's photo albums contained snapshots of Dully and Newell playing together at about age 3, but after so many decades, no one in her family — herself included — remembered much about this boy.
Newell and her husband Jeremy became so intrigued with Dully's compelling memoir that her husband called the New York publishing company to contact the co-author. He scanned the photos and sent them to Charles Fleming.
Fleming, in turn, got in touch with Dully and Dully contacted Newell, first by email and then a phone call. Sure enough, Dully confirmed it was indeed him in those childhood photos.
Newell talked to Dully via phone for about 45 minutes.
"He doesn't remember much about Spartan Village, but he remembers a playground, a field and a girl — I'm the girl," Newell excitedly recounted.
Dully's mother died of cancer when he was just 5. He was distraught at the loss, largely because his father told him his mother simply wouldn't be coming home. He wasn't told she was dead.
"As it was, I thought she had left me," Dully wrote. "I was afraid she didn't want to see me. I was afraid she didn't love me. What other explanation could there be?"
In the book he said he now realizes how hard his mother's death must have been for his father, with two young sons at home and a third son, severely mentally handicapped, who would require professional care if he lived.
His father eventually remarried, and it was Dully's stepmother who arranged the lobotomy.
"I never understood why," Dully confides in his memoir. "I wasn't a violent kid. I had never hurt anyone. I wasn't failing out of school.
"Was there something I had done that was so horrible I deserved a lobotomy?"
Dully, now 69, asked himself that question for more than four decades before he went looking for answers when he turned 54. What he found led to his fascinating account of how that ice-pick procedure damaged him.
He spent much of his life in and out of insane asylums, jails and halfway houses. He was homeless at times and struggled from alcoholism and drug addiction.
"I was lost. I knew I wasn't crazy. But I knew something was wrong with me. Was it the lobotomy? Was it something else? .I thought about my lobotomy all the time, but I never talked about it. I was my terrible secret."
Newell said reading the book broke her heart.
"I wanted to let him know he was a darling boy," she said. "He wasn't a bad child or mean during the time I knew him. He needed to know that."
During their phone conversation, she could hear his voice trembling when she talked about what a kind, sweet boy he was at Spartan Village.
"He choked up," she said. "I think it was a relief for him to hear someone had adored and appreciated him."
Dully's stepmother, Lou, had most certainly had not adored him.
Admittedly, he was a rambunctious boy and at times a troublemaker. Lou, a strict disciplinarian, brought two sons of her own to the marriage, but none of the boys, Duffy's brother included, bore her wrath like young Howard.
"Unlike me, the other boys never seemed to do anything wrong, or never seemed to get in trouble for it," he wrote.
Beyond multiple spankings by both parents, he particularly recalled the time Lou hit him over the head with the metal end of a vacuum cleaner, then hit him again and again when he would not react.
"Did that hurt? Oh, did that hurt."she taunted.
As Dully grew bigger — today he's 6-foot, 7-inches tall and weighs 330 pounds — he suspects his stepmother sought professional help to curb his temperament because she was afraid she'd no longer have the upper hand with physical discipline.
Her quest to find a way to control Dully led her to several neurosurgeons who couldn't find a thing wrong with her stepson. Then she heard about Walter Freeman, whose career in performing lobotomies had exploded. According to a piece done by National Public Radio, Freeman "was a showman and liked to shock his audience of doctors and nurses by performing two-handed lobotomies: hammering ice picks into both eyes at once."
Dully's story on NPR thrust him into the international spotlight in 2005. NPR producers arranged permission for Dully to read Freeman's personal notes and medical records on his case, and he gleaned insight from those records to write his New York Times best-selling memoir that was published in 2007.
Dully's lobotomy took just 10 minutes and cost $200. His father compliantly went along with it.
The procedure didn't "fix" him in the way his stepmother wanted, though, so the family put him into an institution.
"My brain, when Freeman got to it, was young," Dully wrote. "It was still growing. After the surgery, it adapted to the lobotomy and found ways to compensate for it . In an adult, if the right hemisphere is destroyed or damaged that severely, forget it. That person would be finished."
The lobotomy scene in the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is as close as many people come to understanding the effects of the procedure.
Despite decades of living a broken life, Dully's story has a happy ending. He was a tour-bus driver and is a husband, father and grandfather. He even earned a college degree in computer information systems.
"Today, I count myself lucky," he wrote. "I'm lucky to have survived Freeman, and to have survived my childhood and the aftermath of the surgery. .I feel happy and grateful that I have lived long enough to tell my story."

Army says soldiers taking fire from women, children in Marawi battle
Damaged buildings and houses are seen as government troops continue their assault on its 105th day of clearing operations against pro-IS militants who have seized control of large parts of Marawi city, southern Philippines September 4, 2017. REUTERS/Romeo Ranoco
MARAWI CITY – Philippine troops fighting Islamic State-linked rebels in a southern city have encountered armed resistance from women and children, the military said on Monday, as troops make a final push to end a conflict that has raged for more than 100 days.
Ground forces were braced for higher casualties amid fierce fighting in Marawi City on the island of Mindanao, where the field of battle has shrank to a small area in a commercial heart infested with snipers, and littered with booby traps.
"We are now in the final phase of our operations and we are expecting more intense and bloody fighting. We may suffer heavier casualties as the enemy becomes more desperate," Lieutenant General Carlito Galvez, who heads the military in Western Mindanao, told reporters.
He said the number of fighters was diminishing and a small number of women and children, most likely family members of the rebels, were now engaged in combat.
"Our troops in the field are seeing women and children shooting at our troops so that's why it seems they are not running out of fighters."
More than 800 people have been killed in the battle, most of them insurgents, since May 23 when the militants occupied large parts of the predominantly Muslim town.
The battle is the biggest security challenge in years for the mostly Catholic Philippines, even though it has a long history of Muslim separatist rebellion in Mindanao, an island of 22 million people that has been placed under martial law until the end of the year.
The protracted clashes and resilience of the rebels has fanned fears that Philippine groups loyal to Islamic State, and with ties to Indonesian and Malaysian militants, have formed an alliance that is well-organized, funded and armed, and serious about carving out its own territory in Mindanao.
Citing information provided by four hostages who had escaped from the rebels, Galvez said there were some 56 Christian hostages – most of them women – and about 80 male residents may have been forced to take up arms and fight the military.
The fighting was concentrated in an area around a mosque about a quarter of a square kilometer. He said soldiers were taking control of an average 35 buildings a day and at that rate, it could be three weeks before the city was under government control.
Fighting in Marawi was intense on Monday, with heavy gunfire and explosions ringing out across the picturesque, lakeside town, the heart of which has been devastated by near-daily government air strikes.
Helicopters circled above to provide air cover for ground troops as fighting raged, with bursts of smoke rising above the skyline as bombs landed on rebel positions.

Registration is now open for Cherokee Nation Foundation's free ACT prep classes for high school juniors and seniors, who are Cherokee Nation citizens.
The classes will be held in Sallisaw and in Tahlequah.
The classes begin the last week of February and conclude with the National ACT exam on April 9. Curriculum includes interactive instruction by a Princeton Review instructor and two practice tests.
The six-week course is offered at Indian Capital Technology Center in Tahlequah and Carl Albert State College in Sallisaw.
In previous years, students have increased their scores by an average of 3.5 points, and some individual scores have increased by as much as 10 points.
Students interested in the course can pick up registration forms from their high school guidance counselors or call the foundation at 918-207-0950. Applications are also available online at www.cherokeenationfoundation.org. The deadline to enroll is Feb. 15.
development initiative is set for Feb. 4.
Free to interested participants, the Crossing Borders Region Civic Forum will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 4 at the Indian Capital Tech Center in Stilwell. Lunch will be provided.
Participants are asked to register online at http://bit.ly/1Qn9WPm or by calling Robin Stand at 918-453-5701.
The forum will serve as residents' primary opportunity to contribute to the planning process after the region was recently selected for the national economic development program, "Stronger Economies Together," or SET.
The Crossing Borders region includes Cherokee, Adair, Sequoyah and Delaware counties.
"Business, civic and community leaders as well as members of the general public will find the forum enlightening as they contribute to the formation of a vision for regional economic improvement," said Jim Wilson, chairman of the Northeast Oklahoma Regional Alliance.
SET is a national partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and the Cooperative Extension Service launched in 2010. The program helps rural communities work together to boost regional economic development opportunities.
"We know that an increasing value of community ideas and assets corresponds to improvement of local economies, personal income and quality of life. By expanding our vision to include multiple communities and counties, we increase the available assets, the human capital and the energy of ideas necessary to generate prosperity," Wilson said.
During the forum, participants will be divided into small groups to discuss the region's strengths, challenges and opportunities as well as review relevant economic and demographic data.
Feedback from each small group will be recorded, summarized and used to build a strategic plan, which will be developed over the course of the SET program's planning process.
As part of SET, the region will participate in several coaching sessions, including the civic forum.
Crossing Borders also will have access to technical assistance from the SET coaching team made up of professionals from state and federal agencies, OSU and the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service.
Other public and private organizations also providing expertise include Oklahoma Small Business Development Centers, CareerTech, Oklahoma Department of Commerce and the Oklahoma Native American Technology Council.
For more information about the civic forum or SET, contact Dave Shideler, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension community development specialist and an associate professor in the department of agricultural economics, at 405-744-6170 or dave.shideler@okstate.edu.
Dwight Spencer, left, accepts the Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce Award for the Chamber Member of the Month for January. Chamber President Shannon Vann, right, presents the award. Vann pointed out how important the Spencer family is to the community. Buddy Spencer volunteers his time for education and Carl Albert State College and Dwight Spencer volunteers for the city and the chamber, and is already at work on the chamber's next Diamond Daze celebration. The Spencer's Blue Ribbon Auto Group has four local stores, carries seven brands of vehicles and has 57 employees, Vann said.
Vann also introduced Frank Sullivan III who reported on the Sallisaw Youth League and the Sallisaw Sports Complex on Sallisaw's east side.
Sullivan announced the Sallisaw Youth League has become affiliated with the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA), the largest league of its kind in the country, which will help with tournaments and their promotion.
"They will give us as many sanctioned tournaments as we want," Sullivan said.
The youth league is considering the construction of two buildings at the sports complex. The buildings will be for storage and rest areas for umpires. Construction should begin within the next few weeks, he said.
Sullivan said the eight ballfields at the complex – four for baseball and four for softball – can be used for both sports, and will have the best surface available. Shade structures are also going up and plans are for netting to protect the audience from foul balls.
Sullivan said estimates are that over 21,000 ball players' family members will visit the sports complex during games, and he urged entrepreneurs to build restaurants or commercial businesses on the east side of town.
The youth league is still offering sponsorships, and a ball field can be named as the sponsor wishes for a $25,000 donation for six years. Many other sponsorships are also available for lesser amounts, he added.
City Manager Clayton Lucas announced that the sports complex was supposed to be done last August, but the contractor is still making adjustments and corrections, which results in the contract amount decreasing every day. Lucas said sod is still being laid, and some concrete is having to be replaced after the original cracked. Work is still being done on the sprinkler system he said.
He said it is expected the work should be complete in two to three weeks.

The preliminary hearing for a Muldrow woman, accused of leaving the scene of an ATV crash that left a teenager with a severe brain injury, has been continued again. The new preliminary hearing date is at 9 a.m. April 19. According to court records, this is the fifth time the hearing has been continued.
Angela Gray, 30, is charged with conspiracy, child endangerment by driving under the influence, and selling or furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor, all felonies. A preliminary hearing on the charges was slated for Tuesday.
The charges were filed Aug. 31 by the Sequoyah County District Attorney's office in Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw, after a mistrial on previous charges.
In a jury trial in July, in which Gray faced a charge of failure to stop at an accident resulting in non-fatal injury, the jury deadlocked on that charge and a mistrial was declared. Jurors told District Judge Jeff Payton that, based on the testimony, they could not decide who was driving the ATV at the time of the crash. Gray testified Mayberry was driving, and Mayberry testified Gray was driving.
Sallisaw firefighters were on the scene at a wildfire on Taylor Drive until around 9:30 p.m. Monday, and one home owner is lucky to have escaped relatively uninjured, Sallisaw Fire Chief Anthony Armstrong said Tuesday morning.
The fire destroyed 112 round hay bales, burned through one telephone pole, and endangered several homes on Taylor Drive, but there were no serious injuries and no homes were lost.
Armstrong said the fire began when a resident, Ned Erwin, was driving his truck through his field. Armstrong said when Erwin attempted to switch his truck to four-wheel drive, something malfunctioned and caught the truck on fire. Armstrong said the truck caught fire quickly, and Erwin had to throw himself out of the truck, and roll to a nearby mud puddle to avoid the flames.
Armstrong said Erwin did have burns on his face and arms but refused treatment at the scene.
"The fire actually burned past the house," Armstrong said.
He called in a dozer from the State Forestry office and a backhoe from the city to tear apart the hay bales and contain the fire. But flying embers from the hay bales also caused concern, and firemen, wearing air packs because of the heavy smoke, were stationed at houses along Taylor Drive with pumpers to ensure none caught fire.
One woman was evacuated from her home and firemen went in later to retrieve and save her dogs from the smoke.
While firemen fought the blaze, Taylor Drive was closed to traffic for about four hours. Armstrong said the road had to be closed because water lines had to be laid along the road from the nearest hydrant, and vehicles driving over the lines would have destroyed them, interrupting the water flow.
At one point, a light pole caught fire, fell across the road and had to be removed, Armstrong said. He said 18 Sallisaw firefighters helped contain the fire.
Armstrong said he checked on the site Tuesday morning, and the hay bales are still smoldering (above) but not ablaze.
Roy Coleman, 60, announced he is running as a Democrat for Sequoyah County Sheriff.
Coleman, who has extensive experience and training in law enforcement, said he has received numerous comments about drugs and break-in problems in the county which prompted his intention to seek the office.
Coleman has 28 years in law enforcement, all in Sequoyah County. "This experience includes eight years as undersheriff to Sheriff Johnny Philpot and police chief at Roland," Coleman said.
Coleman said he began his law enforcement career in the Civil Defense program, then became a reserve deputy then a part-time Muldrow officer. In 1985 he became a deputy for Sheriff Sam Lockhart, and he received his CLEET certification in 1987. He continued training through the years and has numerous certificates in auto thefts, drug investigations, homicides, etc.
Coleman continued his career as Roland police chief for two and a half years after Sam Lockhart retired, then worked as a Muldrow police officer. Coleman left there to handle security for Cherokee Nation Security at the tribe's bingo establishments and convenience stores until 1997. He then went back to work as a deputy for Sheriff Johnny Philpot and worked as a deputy before taking his current job as road foremen for District 3.
Coleman said that, if elected, he will have an open door policy, and will help everyone he can, and, if he can't, he will point them in the right direction.
The Sallisaw Lions Club, answering a call for help from Catholic Charities in Sallisaw, delivered 130 coats to MaryLynn Lufkin, in front, Catholic Charities coordinator, on Monday morning. Club members are, from the left, Gary Schaefer, Paul Marshall, Justin McGrew, Matt Bennett, Mary Abell, Bryan Warner and Jennifer Hancock.
Lufkin said a cold snap earlier in January resulted in an increased need for coats for all ages. When all the coats were gone from Catholic Charities closets, Lufkin sent out the call for help and the Lions Club responded.
Marley Abell, Lions Club member, said the club purchased about $1,500 worth of coats locally and donated them to organization for the needy.
Lufkin said Catholic Charities also needs blankets. When the cold snap hit, Catholic Charities gave away 40 blankets in one day.
Lufkin said the agency is always in need of men's clothing, especially shoes, and items for its burn-out room where those who have lost their homes to fire may pick up needed items, such as silverware.
And save those plastic shopping bags for Catholic Charities. The agency is always in need of plastic bags for the distribution of food, clothing and other items.
For information about helping Catholic Charities call 918-775-6111. Catholic Charities is at 409 N. Adams in Sallisaw.
Taylor Drive in Sallisaw, between U.S. Highway 59 and County Highway 17, is closed as Sallisaw firemen fight a grass fire Monday afternoon that was too close to homes on Taylor Drive. An ambulance, above, was on the scene in case of emergency. No injuries were reported as of 2 p.m.
Police said a truck became stuck in a grass field on the north side of Taylor Drive, caught the grass on fire which then caught hay bales on fire. The State Forestry Department was called in with dozers to try to move the hay bales away from the homes and fire. It was reported over 100 hay bales would have to be moved.
At about 2:15 p.m. emergency personnel were sent into one of the homes to rescue dogs. Heavy smoke was whipped by gusty winds over the area as the firemen fought to extinguish the blaze and protect the homes. Some of the firemen were issued air bottles in order to fight the blaze.
At approximately 6 a.m. Sunday morning the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Dept. along with their swift water rescue team was dispatched to the Arkansas River near Vian in reference to a call from duck hunters needing assistance. The boat was located near the Moody Boat Ramp in the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge.
The duck hunters were found standing on top of their boat. Rescue crews retrieved the men and brought them to shore where EMS treated them for cold weather exposure. According to Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart the men were in good condition.
The hunters were identified as father and son, Matthew Reith from Fayetteville and Jerome Reith from Fort Smith. They reported that their boat had filled with water and sank.
Sheriff Lockhart stated his appreciation for the Vian Fire Dept. and the McKey Fire Dept. "They did an outstanding job," concluded Lockhart.
Roland Court Clerk Maudeen Vann accepts a speeding ticket payment from Aprentice Marable of Oklahoma City. A bench warrant will not be issued for Marable since he paid his ticket. Those who do have bench warrants issued for non-payment may take advantage of the town's amnesty program in February, when 50 percent payments will be accepted.
Roland town officials have a heart this February. They are offering amnesty to all those who have outstanding bench warrants for traffic and minor drug violations.
Town Administrator Monte Lenington said the warrant amnesty will run from Feb. 1 through 29. The town has 3,200 outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
Lenington warned that not showing up for court or not paying a traffic or misdemeanor fine or not making arrangements for payment results in the bench warrant being issued for the offender. That could lead to the loss of a driver's license and even more traffic tickets, fines and costs.
"That suspended license can cause more problems," Lenington pointed out.
If the fine is turned over to a collection agency, more costs are added on. The collection agency has a 35 percent recovery fee, which is added to the cost of the ticket.
During the February amnesty program, the collection agency has agreed to reduce its percentage, Lenington said.
He explained that an average speeding ticket, with collection fee, is about $473. During the warrant amnesty program the offender will owe $237.
To qualify for the amnesty the offender must pay the 50 percent in full with cash, a money order, a cashier's check or a credit/debit card. No payment arrangements will be allowed.
Payments may be made to Vann between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the court clerk's office.

On Jan. 14 Elton Darrell Vanzant, 75, of Cookson changed his plea to guilty to first-degree manslaughter, leaving the scene of a fatality accident and leaving the scene of an accident involving an injury.
He was sentenced the same day to 10 years imprisonment, with all but the first six years suspended, on the manslaughter charge. He received the same sentence on the second count, and was sentenced to two years suspended on the third count.
Vanzant was charged Oct. 16, 2014, in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw following a hit-and-run in Vian on Oct. 7 2014. In that incident, Vanzant was accused of driving over two women then leaving the scene. One of the women, Linda Finney-Drew, 55, died at the scene. The other, Candy Shade, was treated for her injuries at Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw. Finney-Drew's family is also suing Vanzant in civil court for wrongful death.
According to the Vian police officer's report, he was dispatched to the hit-and-run scene on East Sanders Street in Vian at 7:31 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2014, where he found Shade along with Finney-Drew, who was unresponsive. Shade informed the officer that she and Finney- Drew were walking east and had just entered the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard when they were struck by a car. Three witnesses reported seeing the car hit the women or seeing the same car nearly run another car off the road. Bystanders told the officer that the same car was seen leaving a bar known as the Rusty Barn. Witnesses at the bar said the most recent person to leave was Vanzant. The officer sent out a be-on-the-lookout (BOLO) for Vanzant's gold-colored Mercury.
The officer returned to the scene where he was informed that resuscitation of Finney-Drew was unsuccessful and she was pronounced dead at 7:56 p.m. The officer, with the help of the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department, coordinated with the Cherokee County Sheriff's office to take custody of Vanzant. He was arrested at 12:05 a.m., Oct. 8, 2014, and his Mercury was impounded. The officer then took photos and evidence from Vanzant's car, including a piece of material that resembled the clothing worn by Finney-Drew. In the report, Vanzant is described at the time of his arrest as having bloodshot eyes, having a strong odor of alcohol about his person, and being unstable on his feet. He told the officer he had been drinking.

A 37-year-old Muldrow man is behind bars in the Sequoyah County Detention Center in Sallisaw after a high-speed car chase from Fort Smith to Sallisaw late Wednesday.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart said John Crossno was arrested by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol after the suspect ran the car he was driving off U.S. Highway 64 east of Sallisaw.
Lockhart said the car was stolen on Monday.
The chase began in Fort Smith, Lockhart said, and speeds reached 85 miles per hour as it continued. He added that alcohol may have been involved.
The Sallisaw Fire Department was called to a small diesel fuel spill Wednesday afternoon when a semi-truck hauling coal had a problem with its wheels.
Sallisaw Fire Chief Anthony Armstrong reported the semi-truck, owned by CC Kelly Trucking of Hodgen, was traveling north on U.S. Highway 59 and lost a set of wheels, which hit and damaged the truck's fuel tank and caused the spill. The truck was on the city's south side, Armstrong said.
Armstrong said the fire department uses a special substance called fuel dry to mop up the spill, which was about 10 gallons.
"We just sweep it up and the fuel dry takes out all the toxins," Armstrong said. The fire department was on the scene for about an hour cleaning up the spill.
Armstrong said the Oklahoma Highway Patrol was on the scene and investigating the incident.
At 4:30 p.m. Wednesday evening the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Dept. was called to The Outer Zone, a business on Highway 64 west of Moffett, in response to an armed robbery report.
At approximately 4:25 p.m. a male suspect entered the business wearing dark clothing and a bandanna covering his face. The suspect, armed with a firearm, demanded an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect was described as a 6'0", 200 lb male, race unknown.
Investigators with the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Dept. are on the scene and looking for the suspect. Video surveillance captured a vehicle that might be involved in the robbery (older model blue vehicle closest in front of picture, above). Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart is asking anyone with information or anyone who was in the area around 4:25 p.m. today and who may have observed anything suspicious to contact his office at 918-775-9156. Please share this story and help authorities find suspect.
Sallisaw police are searching for two men who stole, or attempted to steal, merchandise from the Sallisaw Walmart store in two separate incidents.
Lt. John Owens reported the first incident occurred on Jan. 8 when a Hispanic male of large stature (above, top) entered the store with a small female child, age 4 or 5, then loaded computer equipment and a microwave into a cart and attempted to leave the store through the garden center without paying. Walmart employees tried to stop him and Owens said the suspect then shoved the cart at the employees, grabbed the child, and fled in a white or cream-colored Chrysler 300. The merchandise was recovered.
In the second incident a white male (above, bottom) entered the store at 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 16. The man broke the glass in the jewelry case and escaped with between $600 and $1,000 worth of jewelry. The suspect was in the store for about three minutes. Owens said the suspect then ran from the store and jumped into a rust-colored, older sedan waiting outside with a driver.
The suspect was wearing a blue shirt, camouflage jacket, and dark hat worn backwards.
Both suspects, captured on film on the store's surveillance cameras, face felony shoplifting charges since the merchandise they stole or attempted to steal was worth over $500.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Owens at 918-775-4177.
Voters in Sequoyah County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the Feb. 9 School Election should apply now, Sequoyah County Election Board Secretary Cindy Osborn said.
Although the county election board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Feb. 3, Osborn urged voters who want to vote by absentee ballot to apply early.
Absentee ballot application forms are available at the county election board office at 110 E. Creek in Sallisaw. The absentee ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed at www.elections.ok.gov.
Voters who have requested an absentee ballot can track their ballot at http://www.ok.gov/ elections /Voter_Info/Online_Voter_Tool/.
Osborn said any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he or she is eligible to vote. However, a voter must be registered and reside at an address within the geographical boundaries of a school district or a municipality to be eligible to vote in school district or municipal elections. It is not necessary to give a reason-or excuse-for voting absentee.
"While anyone can vote absentee without giving reason, the law still provides several excuses, and it is to the advantage of some voters to use one of them," Osborn said.
Voters who are physically incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may vote absentee. They may apply only by mail, by fax, or by email.
Voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may vote absentee. An Absentee Voting Board actually goes to the nursing home a few days before the election, sets up a small polling place and allows these persons to vote under circumstances similar to those at a regular precinct polling place. They may apply only by mail, by fax, or by email.
Military personnel and residents of the county living overseas and their spouses and dependents are eligible receive absentee ballots. These voters may apply only by mail, fax, or by email. Military personnel should contact Voting Service Officers in their units for application forms and additional information or visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website (www.fvap.gov.oklahoma) for more information and instructions. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any U.S. military installation and from U.S. Embassies and Consulates as well as on the FVAP website.
The Cherokee Nation will begin dispersing its limited supply of heirloom seeds on Feb.1 to tribal citizens interested in growing traditional Cherokee crops and plants.
The Cherokee Nation keeps an inventory of seeds from rare breeds of corn such as White Eagle corn seeds (above), beans, squash, gourds, Trail of Tears beads, tobacco and several plants traditionally used for Cherokee customs. The seeds are not available in stores.
In 2015, the tribe distributed 3,463 packages of seeds to Cherokee Nation citizens.
Eugene Wilmeth, a Cherokee Nation citizen of Midwest City, planted Cherokee White Eagle Corn and Native tobacco seeds.
"I am very grateful for the Cherokee Nation seed bank, which gives me the opportunity to grow traditional and sacred plants that connect us to our culture and to our Creator. The program allows each of us to play an important role in the preservation of our heritage," Wilmeth said.
Citizens are limited to two varieties. To get the seeds, citizens can either make an appointment to pick them up or email their request to seedbank@cherokee.org to have them sent by mail. Individuals must include a copy of his or her Cherokee Nation tribal citizenship card, proof of age and address.
For more information, contact Pat Gwin at 918-453-5704.
The Town of Muldrow is now on better footing. A sidewalk project was just completed on Shawntel Smith Boulevard, the town's main street.
David Taylor, Muldrow town administrator, said the new sidewalk was needed because of the heavy foot traffic on the north side of the boulevard.
Unfortunately there is little money available to build sidewalks, a circumstance other towns in the county are dealing with too. In Muldrow, members of the community stepped up to help build the sidewalks, which had a cost of $35,000.
Taylor said Armstrong Bank donated $9,500 (above) which helped build the sidewalk in front of the bank. Sonic Drive In and the Muldrow Chamber of Commerce chipped in too, and the remainder - $23,000 - was paid by the town.
The sidewalk runs on the north side of the street only, where the heavy foot traffic is. The project was started just before Christmas and took about 10 days to complete, Taylor said.
Carl Albert State College (CASC) announced Tuesday the addition of five online courses to be offered in an eight-week format beginning March 7 and ending May 13.
Because CCASC is competitive nation-wide with the cost of online classes, these classes are a great deal for students interested in completing class work in a short time this spring, said Dr. Jason Morrison, CASC Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The classes being offered are each three credit hour courses and include Ethics, Information Literacy I, Introduction to Sociology, Microcomputer Applications, and American Federal Government. According to Morrison, a variety of students may find these classes helpful.
Sarah Brown, CASC Virtual Campus coordinator, explained that all five of these classes are well structured for an eight-week design.
Morrison explained that a student can enroll in up to nine credit hours without being a degree seeking student at CASC as long as the classes meet certain criteria.
"These five classes were selected specifically so that students can apply for admission, pay for the class, and get the classes that meet their needs this spring without prerequisite or test score requirements," Morrison said.
A long-time Gans resident, Betty Crow, perished in a house fire.
The fire is believed to have started in Crow's bedroom in her home on 4690 Road. According to reports, Crow attempted to extinguish the fire before being overcome. A male relative living in the home attempted to save Crow by removing her from the home but was unable to do so.
Crow, 79, was the mother of seven children and well known in the Gans community. Her funeral will be held Friday at 1 p.m. at Gans Bible Church.
A couple from Arkansas was charged Wednesday in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw with aggravated trafficking in illegal drugs, a felony, and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. The charges were filed after an Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) Trooper stopped the couple on Interstate 40 on Jan. 6 and, after receiving permission to search their pickup truck, found about two pounds of methamphetamine.
Kimberly Dawn McGehee, 32, of Charleston, Ark., and Darrell M. Reed, 57, of Ratcliff, Ark., are free at $30,000 bonds each.
The trooper reported he stopped the couple after he saw Reed, who was driving a Ford truck, change lanes without signaling at Mile Marker 315. Reed and the passenger in the truck, McGehee, both appeared nervous, the trooper reported. McGehee said she was buying the truck from a friend and that she was Reed's girlfriend. She gave permission to search the truck.
The trooper reported his drug dog alerted on a plastic barrel in the bed of the truck. The search uncovered nine plastic bags and a vacuum-sealed bag of a clear crystalline substance. The substance tested positive as methamphetamine and had a total weight of about two pounds.
Both Reed and McGehee entered not guilty pleas to the charges on Thursday. Their next court appearance is scheduled for March 2.

This is a prestigious Medical Letter.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This is pernicious misinformation that both amuses and beguiles me because of its innocence of factual information. It appears it comes from ten year old information peppered with the information from the Reefer Madness movie.
About 1,000,000 marijuana users are arrested each year. This means as least 10 to 20 million people are using it with minimal adverse effects.
PAIN, severe or chronic, is the most common complaint and aspirin-like drugs or morphine-like drugs are the standards. Cannabis/marijuana (C/MJ) works better than most of these without gastric bleeding for aspirin. C/MJ is almost as effective as morphine without severe addiction liability.
SPASTIC disease of skeletal muscle, including MS, are usually treated with CNS depressants like Benzos or Soma-like drugs. C/MJ works better than either with minimal addiction liability. SMOOTH MUSCLE SPASMS such as Asthma, IBS or Crohns are usually treated with Atropine-like drugs with adrenergics for Asthma. C/MJ works faster and better than any of them.
NAUSEA and VOMITING frequently caused by other medications respond surprisingly well to C/MJ. Oral medications are frequently useless for N & V. C/MJ may be taken by inhalation and it works very rapidly.
CANCER with a wide variety of medical problems responds well to C/MJ with euphoria and appetite stimulation being outstanding pluses.
SEIZURES of any etiology are the next most common complaints. An Epileptic seizure can be aborted at onset or controlled with a few inhalations.
GLAUCOMA which acts like a smooth muscle disease responds very well to C/MJ with rapid relief.
NEUROPATHIC pain like any other type of pain responds well to C/MJ.
Many of the preceding diseases cause insomnia. Many patients if not most use C/MJ to aid or prolong sleep with excellent relaxation.
The Medical Letter includes adverse effects of C/MJ. DRY MOUTH is common from smoking like cigarettes. We recommend inhaling vapors.
They consider sedation to be adverse. Patients consider it a main benefit.
ORTHOSTATICHYPOTENSION follows C/MJ-caused vasodilation. C/MJ is used to treat hypertension.
ATAXIA is a result of hypotension but also an alcoholic-like drunkedness from more than slight doses.
ANXIETY is often seen in new patients who accidentally use too much. Even Marinol, the prescribed Cannabis drug, causes anxiety and panic attacks.
TACHYCARDIA, though slight, is a reflex response to the vasodilation and hypotension. It bothers few patients.
AGITATION along with anxiety are common results even with Marinol. Medical patients learn to avoid this.
CONFUSION accompanies anxiety, panic attacks, and agitation of the new user or accidental overdose.
One of the most humorous parts of the article was their report on sleep. Obviously the participants were regular users. They were given THC – pure Cannabis medicine and/or added cannabidiol, a built in modulator of THC stimulation. This was a free "Pot Party" and they made the most of it with memory-deficit hangover next morning. I doubt they were complaining.
Other recent articles have published C/MJ is effective for Migraines, Tourettes, OCD, ADD/ADHD, Alzheimers, and PMS.
I suggest the authors and editors get out of their ivory towers and down to earth with us plebians.
Cannabis/Marijuana was once the most prescribed drug. It is on its way back.
Marijanna is the 4th largest cash crop in the U.S. based on conservative estimates. How could you tell that 35.8 billion dollars is being spent illegally. Also corn isn't sold at three hundred dollars an ounce. Making it legal would drop the price and raise production drastically. Don't get too excited.
In 2006, marijuana was the largest cash crop in the United States, more valuable than corn and wheat combined. Using conservative price estimates, domestic marijuana production has a value of $35.8 billion. Based on production estimates derived from marijuana eradication efforts from 2003 to 2005, marijuana was the top cash crop in 12 states, one of the top 3 cash crops in 30 states, and one of the top 5 cash crops in 39 states. In California, for example, the domestic marijuana crop was larger than grapes, vegetables and hay combined and worth over $1 billion. The World Health Organization found that 42.4 percent of Americans had tried marijuana. As long as there is a demand for illicit drugs, there will be a supply. By legalizing marijuana, we satisfy the demand for marijuana locally, control it, tax it, and by doing so take away the "king crop" from the Mexican drug cartels.

A question of "reception": how could Homer ever outlive his own moments of performance?
2021.08.30 | By Gregory Nagy §0. In the cover illustration for this essay, a painter is picturing Homer at a moment of performance. Or, I could even say that we see Homer here in—not just at—a moment of performance. Homer sings, accompanying himself on his lyre. Viewing him and listening to him most attentively, in the imagination of our painter, are poets from Homer's future "reception." Most visible is old… Read more
How a Classical Homer occasionally downgrades the heroic glory of Ajax in order to save it: Part 3
2021.06.07 | By Gregory Nagy §0. Here in Part 3 of my three-part essay, I take up the argument I introduced at the end of Part 2 (Nagy 2021.06.01, linked here): in "our" Iliad and in "our" Odyssey, the heroic glory of Ajax needs to be safeguarded—but it cannot be completely vindicated. (Hereafter, I will stop using quotation marks in referring to these two epics, which I have also been… Read more
2021.05.24 | By Gregory Nagy §0. In this essay, as in two previous essays posted in Classical Inquiries( (Nagy 2021.05.10, linked here, and 2021.05.17, linked here), I posit again the idea of a "Classical Homer," that is, the Homer of "our" Iliad and Odyssey as reflected in the textual tradition that has survived down to our own time. The myths represented by this Homer of ours correspond, more rather than… Read more
How Pindar's Homer might save from harm the heroic glory of Ajax
2021.05.10 | By Gregory Nagy §0. In this essay I attempt to explain, though only in its barest outlines, Pindar's poetic project of picturing 'Homer' as a potential savior of the glory deserved by Ajax, hero of Salamis—despite this Homer's generally indiscriminate taste, it is claimed, for greedily savoring all the delicacies of all the myths cooked up for him by way of epic poetry—I use the word 'myths' here… Read more
