Three levels of bookhood My wife Jennie is gone for a couple weeks. Serves me right. This year I went missing in action by going to the Conversation on Biblical Authority in Ohio, the National Youth Conference in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the Brethren World Assembly in nearby Lake Winona. Church trips. So Jennie got even. She's camping near the beach north of San Francisco with her sister Nancy at Bodega Bay State Park in California. That's where they filmed that movie "The Birds." Her trip is a lot more interesting than all of mine combined, so winner, winner, chicken dinner. But at least while she's gone I rule the Kitchen Table. Jennie and I use that table, made our of wormy maple and purchased locally, for very different purposes. Now Jennie uses our kitchen table for two things eating (what it is made for) and paperwork (which she spreads out, organizes, and files away). Jennie is very practical and is in charge of all the practical stuff in our house. When Jennie is gone the kitchen table gets turned into a book stand, in order to hold up one of the three categories of books. First is plain old books. They're light enough you can carry them around, open them, and read them wherever you are. I'm always reading several books at the same time, so they're scattered everywhere in my house or in the office. Plain old books are plain old fun. Second come digital books, which I download to my phone. There are times when you're sitting up in bed, or riding on a plane, or waiting in line at the bank, or you forgot to bring a book with you when it's better to read your phone, which weighs as close as no never mind to nothing. Since my phone Third are Kitchen Table Books. These only get read when my wife has flown the coop. Big old books, usually Somebody's Complete Works - Thomas Middleton, perhaps, or The Complete Far Side, the three volume hardcover Calvin and Hobbes -- ends up spread on the table for easy reading. This time I put The New Oxford Shakespeare on the Kitchen Table. It 7 s 3.365 pages long, and weighs six pounds. With tiny print. And not much white space on each page. You can't hold that book on your lap. You lose circulation and your toes will turn blue. This is one heavy book. You can't take this book to the beach, or read it while you're waiting in line at the pharmacy. You really can't read it without throwing out your back. Now I'm not going to finish the New Oxford Shakespeare while Jennie's gone. I'll just try to finish "Twelfth Night" ("Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes or ale?") and a few of the sonnets. But at least if I don't have to throw out my shoulder holding it up. Oh well. Jennie will be back soon enough and we'll start using the kitchen table for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Normal stuff. But I'm enjoying our little break from each other for at least two or three days. After that I'll start pining for her and wasting away. Maybe some of you should drop off some cookies. Home made. Frank Ramirez is the Senior Pastor of the Union Center Church of the Brethren

All, Our Girls' Golf Program would like to say some thank-you's to a great many people after a great season finished up yesterday at the IHSAA State Girls' Golf Finals yesterday. The old saying "it takes a village" is definitely true with our program. I'm sure we'll leave someone out here, so please pass this on if you note an omission. Thank you's/comments: To our players: you work at your craft year-round, you excel in the classroom, you carry yourself with dass, play with integrity, and you represent Wa-Nee in a fashion that makes everyone proud to know you. To our assistant coach Kate Adams: it was great to have you re-join the program this year. Your golf knowledge and team-first mentality carried over to our girls this year! To former assistant Ron Howard: this year's performance is credited in no small part to the foundation you helped build. To our parents/families/fans: there is no better group of people that our coaches could ask for. Through all the good days and bad ones, good coaching dedsion and bad ones, happy teenagers and unhappy ones, you ALL stand strong and support our culture
All Those Years Ago
100 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 8,1918 The Nappanee schools, picture theatres, and churches were ordered closed on Monday and all public meetings and gatherings suspended until further notice by Dr. H.J. DeFrees, local health officer and Wm. O. Miller, marshal, acting upon orders from Dr. I.J. Becknall of Goshen, county health commissioner, owing to the influenza outbreak. All public gatherings in Nappanee will be suspended as long as the order is in force. Officials do not believe there are a sufficient number of cases of influenza in the state to officially declare the state in the grip of an epidemic, but in Elkhart County, the order to close is mandatory until such time a thorough canvass of the situation may be taken and further action determined. Nappanee participated in an impromptu celebration Sunday evening, under the impression that peace overtures of German had reached a definite status that would mean an early cessation of hostilities. The drum corps led a happy throng of youngsters and grown-ups through the principal streets and a great many gave vent to their joy with cow bells and tin horns. The parade halted at the public square, where all joined in the singing of patriotic airs.
75 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 6,1943 While sweeping the city streets on Wednesday morning, Will Irwin found what looked to be a bomb under a car parked on the street and he turned it over to city policeman Viven Sechrist. A fuse projecting from the end of the package, what appeared to be a battery on the inside and filled with a white and yellow substance, the object appeared to be formidable and a call was sent to the state police. Later, an army captain left a local restaurant and was accosted by Policeman Sechrist and asked if he had any idea what the package might be, and strange as it may seem, it belonged to the captain, who is stationed in the east and was passing through. He identified the bomb as a practice bomb used in maneuvers, the filling said to be Hour and sawdust, and maneuvers anyone getting this mixture upon them was considered "dead" by the umpires of the mock battles.

in the Giris Golf Program. To our administration: your financial commitment to our staff's goal of making our team an elite IHSAA program is outstanding! The support in our travel schedule is outstanding as well. Girls' Golf is a non-revenue producing sport and in an age of tight school budgets, I am proud to say that I get lots of shocked looks from other coaches when I say, "We never get told no if we say something is important." To our North Wood Middle School program: Our staff continues to welcome players as freshmen that have a solid skills base, knowledge of the game, and excellent golf etiquette. To the city of Nappanee: Former Mayor "the honorable" Larry Thompson, Current Mayor Phil Jenkins, and Parks Superintendent Chris Davis continue to provide a golf course and atmosphere that promotes junior golf. To our North Wood Athletics Coaching Staff: your support of our program has been nothing short of spectacular. We are doing great things across the board in North Wood Athletics, and we are very proud to be a part of it. To the Wa-Nee staff: So many of you send emails, texts, likes on Twitter and Facebook, etc. You are all so accom-

25 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 6,1993 The Wa-Nee School Board recognized Wakarusa Elementary School Principal Larry Nafziger for his nomination as "Principal of the Year" by the peers in his district. The honor automatically places him in the running for a similar title at the state level. Nappanee Fire Chief Don Lehman submitted a report of the ten calls his department handled during the past month at the Nappanee Common Council meeting. Included were details of a bam fire on September 12 at the John Helmuth residence on Beech Road. The blaze occurred shortly after noon and required the assistance of eight other fire departments to extinguish it. Working against the efforts of the firemen were 35 mph winds fanning the flames. Seven Nappanee trucks and 19 Smokey Stovers responded and remained on the scene for over five hours, using 150,000 gallons of water on the fire.

modating with our players and the realities of missed class time that Giris Golf requires. To the McCormick Creek golf course staff: Tony Adams and his staff are the most welcoming, accommodating, and supportive group toward junior golf. They go out of their way to make our team the best it can be and our events feel important to all players, coaches, and patrons. To the golf teachers: Brady Klotz, Tony Adams of McCormick Creek, Tim Holt of Nick's Golf Center, and Tim Frazier of Sycamore Hills ARE A HUGE PART of our players success. Their expertise has been invaluable! To the Media: Very few Giris Golf teams get the coverage that you all provide each year! To the IHSAA, IGA, Prairie View, and IHSGCA: all of the people involved in all of these organizations continue to grow the game and make HS Giris Golf in Indiana one of the best in the nation. Thank you so much for making this an outstanding experiences for our girls this season! In Golf and GO PANTHERS! Coach Yoder, Coach Adams, and the North Wood Girls' Golf Team
