Book Review
“4 3 2 1” by Paul Auster
On March 3, 1947, in the
maternity ward of Beth Israel
Hospital in Newark, N.J.,
Archibald Isaac Ferguson, the
one and only child of Rose and
Stanley Ferguson, is born.
From that single beginning,
Ferguson’s life will take four
simultaneous and independent
fictional paths. Four Fergusons
made of the same genetic materi-
al, four boys who are the same
boy, will go on to lead four par-
allel and entirely different lives.
Chapter by chapter, the rotat-
ing narratives evolve into an
elaborate dance of inner worlds
enfolded within the outer forces
of history as, one by one, the
intimate plot of each Ferguson’s
story rushes on across the tumul-
tuous and fractured terrain of
mid-twentieth-century America.
A boy grows up — again and
again and again.
Paul Auster’s first novel in
seven years is as inventive and
dexterously constructed as any-
thing he has written before.
“4 3 2 1,” is an unforgettable
tour de force, the crowning work
of this masterful writer’s
extraordinary career.

Fish Tales: Traditions and
Challenges of Seafood in
Oregon
Today the library is presenting
an
Oregon
Humanities
Conversation Project program at
1 p.m., in the Bromley Room.
The conversation features
Jennifer Burns Bright discussing
Fish Tales: Traditions and
Challenges of Seafood in
Oregon. Oregonians love the
wild beauty of our 363 miles of
coastline but finding truly local
seafood can be hard, even on the
coast.
The U.S. imports approxi-
mately 90 percent of its seafood
and ships out nearly as much to
the global market. Why aren’t
we eating more local seafood?
Why do we consider seafood
more a delicacy now than in the
past?
In this conversation, food
writer Bright helps participants
explore our relationship with the
products of the sea and culture
traditions involving fishing, eat-
ing seafood, and understanding
the ocean’s bounty and chal-
lenges.
Bright is a food and travel
writer based in Port Orford. She
recently retired from teaching at
the University of Oregon and
holds a Ph.D. from the
5 A
University of California Irvine
and a Master Food Preserver
Certification.
Local Author Tarno Greene
discusses brain injury
Local author Tarno Greene
will speak at the library on
Friday, March 24, at 2 p.m.,
about her book “I’m Inside,
Y’Know: Traumatic Brain
Injury and You.”
Traumatic Brain Injury,
PTSD, Alzheimer’s, brain infec-
tion, senility and other compro-
mised conditions all have com-
mon symptoms.
And all the symptoms are
frustrating.
“I’m Inside Y’Know” is help-
ful for those of us with infinite
patience and minimal expecta-
tion.
It’s an essential necessity for
the impatient, emotionally dis-
tanced and/or faraway, busy
multitaskers, those unfamiliar
with mental conditions and goal
oriented people.
This book will help with
acknowledging the presence of
brain injury, soul searching
about what you can contribute,
offers resources, and helps make
you feel better about yourself
when someone with a brain
injury enters your life.

added this past year, The Boys
and Girls Club Scholarship
and the Brittney Hartzell
Baguley
Memorial
Scholarship.
Scholarships are available
for traditional four-year col-
leges as well as community
colleges and accredited trade
schools.
While academic achieve-
ment is one criteria used in
determining recipients, the
scholarship committee also
carefully reviews outside
activities, scholastic improve-
ment, volunteerism, economic
need and work history.
Several of the scholarships
are directed toward students in
particular fields of education
or with other qualifying char-
acteristics such as mechanical
interest, nursing and others.
Last year, WLCF awarded
more than $26,000 in scholar-
ships.
Watch
for
upcoming
announcements concerning a
specific LCC nursing scholar-
ship and other scholarships
designed for already graduated
students, re-entry students and
other career changing adults.
Applications
can
be
obtained at the high school
counseling offices or on line at
www.wlcfonline.org and must
be post marked or received no
later than April 14, at P.O. Box
1589, Florence, OR, 97439, or
submitted to the web address

ior scholarships, contact
