Nobel laureate Toni Morrison dead at 88 By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer NEW YORK — Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, a pioneer and reigning giant of modern literature whose imaginative power in “Beloved,” ‘’Sula” and other works transformed American letters by drama- tizing the pursuit of free- dom within the boundaries of race, has died at age 88. Publisher Alfred A. Knopf announced that Mor- rison died Monday night at Montefiore Medical Center in New York after a brief illness. “Toni Morrison passed away peacefully last night surrounded by family and friends,” Morrison’s family said in a statement through the publisher. “She was an extremely devoted mother, grandmother, and aunt who reveled in being with her family and friends. The consummate writer who treasured the written word, whether her own, her stu- dents or others, she read voraciously and was most at home when writing.” Few authors rose in such rapid, spectacular style. She was nearly 40 when her first novel, “The Blu- est Eye,” was published. By her early 60s, after just six novels, she had become the first black woman to receive the Nobel literature prize, praised in 1993 by the Swedish academy for her “visionary force” and for delving into “language itself, a language she wants to liberate” from categories of black and white. Morrison helped educate her country and the world about the private lives of the unknown and unwanted. In her novels, history — black history — was a hid- den trove of poetry, trag- edy and good old gossip, whether in small-town Ohio in “Sula” or big-city Harlem in “Jazz.” She regarded race as a social construct, and through language founded the better world her char- acters suffered to attain, weaving in everything from African literature and slave folklore to the Bible and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. “Narrative has never been merely entertain- ment for me,” she said in her Nobel lecture. “It is, I believe, one of the prin- cipal ways in which we absorb knowledge.” LOTTERY Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019 Mega Millions 11-17-31-43-55 Mega Ball: 16 Megaplier: 2 Estimated jackpot: $55 million Lucky Lines 01-06-09-14-FREE-18-22- 25-31 Estimated jackpot: $27,000 Pick 4 1 p.m.: 9-1-8-0 4 p.m.: 4-8-6-6 7 p.m.: 8-7-1-7 10 p.m.: 8-9-6-6 Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2019 Pick 4 1 p.m.: 6-1-9-1 A5 Physicians Mutual Insurance Company Longtime Umapine resi- dent Matthew Kemble Tell- efson passed away August 5, 2019, at his home. Matt was born January 22, 1971, at St. Mary’s Hos- pital in Walla Walla, Wash- ington, to Kemble and Alice Tellefson. He graduated from Weston- McEwen High School, Athena, Oregon, in 1989. He then earned asso- ciates degrees in animal sci- ence and ag production from Blue Mountain Community College. He worked at Brittany Farming and LB Trucks before joining Tumac Machinery in 1996. When Papé Machinery bought out Tumac, he continued work- ing for them and was still employed there as a territory manager at the time of his death. He also raised Charo- lais cattle on the family farm. Matt loved his family, cattle, John Deere equip- ment, people young and old, and good times. He touched many lives here in our val- ley and across the country. Matt had no enemies; he was truly a good human being —– one of a kind. All his friends looked forward to his giant teddy bear spirit and hugs. They knew they could always count on him to be a true friend with that special, infectious smile and laugh that endeared him to every- one he met. Survivors include his son Lane and daughter Jessica; his parents Alice and Kem- ble Tellefson; brother Myles Tellefson and his wife Lisa; nephew Keifer Larsen; nieces Tessa Pryor, TyAnn Tellefson and Tara Tellefson; numer- ous aunts, uncles and cous- ins; and countless friends.
