(AP) — When Mel Gibson leaves South Carolina after filming “The Patriot,” he will be remembered for helping expand a local domestic violence shelter. Gibson made a sizable contribu tion to the Safe Passage Inc. shel ter this past week, said Peggy Payne, shelter executive director. Payne would not say ex actly how much Gibson gave, but “He found a place he thought would benefit greatly,” Nierob said. Safe Passage plans to start building a bigger shelter in Rock Hill in November or December. It will have six bedrooms and bathrooms and offices, as well as play, dining and laundry areas for as many as 25 people. turingthe hit “Livin’ the Vida Loca.” Martin’s appearance in Singa pore last year marked the first time concert-goers in the conservative city-state were allowed to dance during the show under new, less stringent laws.

Memorial st noted that”‘it’ll go a long way toward our new facility we’re building.” Gibson’s publicist, Alan Nierob, confirmed the donation but said the actor does not like to comment on Gibson’s philanthropic work and charitable contributions. Gibson does not necessarily make contributions in areas where he is filming, Nierob said, but in this case the actor chose Safe Passage Inc. from a list of South Carolina charities compiled at his request. plays Singapore SINGAPORE (AP) — Ricky Martin ushered in a new era of concert-go ing freedom in conservative Singa pore last year. Yesterday, the red- hot Puerto Rican sensation was back urging fans to start “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Some 800 die-hard Martin lovers waited outside in the rain during a 1 1/2-hour delay caused by lighting equipment problems be fore the show began. About 300 had won tickets to the event. The rest were members of the media and others invited by concert orga nizers Sony Music Entertainment Singapore.

Another map shows just where Tom Sawyer whitewashed his fa mous fence. Still another points out the spot at which Paul Bunyan’s ox, Babe, trying to catch a field mouse, dug the Mammoth Cave. L. Frank Baum’s Wonderful World of Oz is charted. Illustrator Dick Martin located the Shifting Sands and Deadly Desert, with Emerald City and Gunda’s Palace smack in the map’s middle. A Yellow Brick Road is there as well, though the road is not clear ly labeled. “Literary maps depict ideas as much as places,” wrote co-author Martha Hopkins in the book’s in troduction. Most literary maps, Hopkins notes, are not drawn to scale and contain little detailed information on topography, geology, towns, rivers or roads. They “present a world in which authors and books are the dominant features,” she said. Still, some of the places are real enough. Author Ian Fleming made his James Bond stories credible by searching out authentic settings for what the library calls his “as signments and assignations.” Only Agent 007 himself and his exploits sprang from Fleming’s imagination. J.R.R. Tolkien’s completely imaginary Middle Earth rates three highly detailed maps. “Literary maps depict ideas as much as places/ — Martha Hopkins Co-Author, Language of the Land Somewhere between reality and imagination lies Mark Twain’s St. Petersburg, the home of Tom Sawyer, modeled on the town of Hannibal, Mo. That’s where the young Sam Clemens lived before he went pi loting on the Mississippi, where he got his pen name. The half-whitewashed fence is on St. Petersburg’s Hill Street, just across from Becky Thatcher’s house. “There ain’t anything that is so interesting to look at as a place that a book has talked about,” Twain quotes Tom as saying in lat er life. Language of the Land describes and reproduces the fantastic maps, along with many others covering the literary landscape. It was compiled by Hopkins of the library’s Interpretive Programs Office and Michael Buscher of the Geography and Map Division. The maps mostly cover Eng lish-speaking countries — Cana da and Australia have maps that illustrate their best-known books. Even one for Paris gives a large space to Oscar Wilde and Ameri can writer Gertrude Stein, whom the French do not see as impor tant to their literature. There’s also a bright map, shaped and colored like a parrot — written in English — devoted to Latin American writers. Maps from days when Latin and Greek got more intensive study show the voyages of Odysseus and Aeneas. Even troubled Balkan politics gets touched on unintentionally. A map on places in Hungarian literature includes portions of Ro mania which once belonged to Hungary and which many Hun garian citizens would dearly like to get back.
