We Remember 9/11 and We Honor All
Can you remember exactly where you were when the devastating attack on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001 happened? The first plane struck at 8:46 A.M., the nineteen militants associated with the Islamic extremist group Al-Qaeda had hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks. Two struck the World Trade Center, one hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C. and the last plane hit a field in Pennsylvania. The overall death count was in excess of 3,000 lives lost and more are still dying today from breathing in the residue of remains at ground zero. There were 2,753 people at the World Trade Center killed of which 343 were New York City firefighters, 23 were New York City Police Officers, 37 were Port Authority Officers and seven were EMT’s. Please join us on Sunday morning September 11, 2016 at 08:45 am, as we will honor the memory of those who lost their lives during a memorial ceremony commemorating the 15th year of this brutal attack. This ceremony is being hosted by The Albany American Legion Post 10 and will take place in front of the Linn County Courthouse located at 300 SW 4th Avenue, Albany, Or 97321. There will be fire engines, police
cars, ambulances, speakers, bagpipes, bugles, rifle salutes, and hundreds of motorcycles. Immediately following the memorial there will be a complementary brunch (for First Responders, Military, Veterans and their families) at the Albany, American Legion Post 10, located at 1215 Pacific Blvd. Albany, Oregon 97321 where all are invited. American Legion Post 10 wishes to thank the generosity of our major sponsors: Bi-Mart, Elmer’s, Jacopetti’s Catering and Points for Profit. Also thank you to our supporting sponsors: Alpine Mortgage, Bigfoot Bites, Cadwell Realty, Costco, Franz Bread Store, Humpty’s Bar & Grill, NW Financial Services, SugarVibes Donut Company, Umpqua Dairy and Willamette Valley Egg Farm for time and donations to make this day possible. Remember this is a day to NEVER forget, a day to reach out to the ones that served, the ones that continue to put their lives on the lines for all of us. A time to share the past with the future leaders (our youth) and a time to come together as a family and a nation to pay tribute. May we always remember what happened on that horrific and tragic day.
9/11 Commemorative 2016 The following letter is from Steve Adams, Albany Post 10 Commander On September 11, 2016 a Commemoration Ceremony will be held on the Linn County Court House steps at 8:45am hosted by the American Legion Albany Post 10 and Linn County. It has been 15 years since the attack on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington DC and the crash near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Over 3300 victims, firefighters, police officers and paramedics perished on that day along with many others who have died or are dying of cancer and other diseases as a result of their heroic efforts. Thousands of people from all walks of life have risked their own to help in a response to this tragedy. We must never forget the victims and their families on this day. If you were born before 9/11/2001, this is your Pearl Harbor as it was a direct attack on the United States of America. We will never forget!
These are examples of local collectables for Albany from Karen’s collection.
by Karen Rogers One of the neatest things about living in an area over a hundred years old is learning the history of the place. Coming from the East Coast I had generations of family history to live down. Mom traced her genealogy back thirty-seven generations, so we brushed elbows with several interesting characters. Every time you turned around, you bumped into something historic. The timeline is a bit shorter out here, but no less interesting. Some of the fun collectibles in any area are local souvenirs. The Victorians were very sentimental and LOVED souvenirs. Spoons were among the first small, useful and easily carried. They also displayed well and could be used for tea. Cups, napkin rings, plates and small shoes were avidly collected from every destination. These proved you had traveled and were testimonials to your “couth”ness. As opposed to being “uncouth”. In1883, when the Brooklyn Bridge opened, my great-grandfather walked across the bridge on opening day, from Manhattan to Brooklyn and for two cents purchased a commemorative cup and saucer with a decal of the bridge and ships in the river on it. It rests in a place of honor in my china cabinet. About twenty years ago I started collecting Albany artifacts. There are souvenir plates, spoons and bottles and sample glasses from a long-deceased brewery. Most of the china came from Germany and major silver companies produced generic Oregon spoons; they could be engraved at a local jeweler. Since I have been collecting for so long, it’s getting harder to find stuff I don’t already have. So I’ve got a bit of back-up merchandise that could possibly be used in trading. I’ll see you one Steel Bridge Plate and raise you one Madison School for a 1909 Apple Fair pin. The gem of my collection is an 1878 Albany Directory picked up at a garage sale years ago. There are scenic postcards that make great wall displays and the plates are still fairly reasonable. All the cities around here had souvenirs, so they’re not limited to Albany. I have some fine Lebanon pieces as well as a couple from McMinnville. Be sure to visit local museums and check out the fascinating past of your area. After all, you’re now part and parcel of its history.

Boston Cream Cake

Idea
By Karen Rogers
This great classic dessert, which is actually a cake in sheep’s clothing, has become one of those comfort foods that has fallen by the wayside. You can occasionally find a miserable BCP wanna-be in a plastic clamshell but they should be avoided, if possible. It is remarkably easy to make in your own kitchen. I make the cake and filling one day and assemble and frost the next to allow for adequate cooling. Now, pardon me while I drag out my highest horse. Don’t even think about using a commercial pudding mix!!! This requires a real pastry cream which is probably easier than a mix and tastes better, anyway. The cake is a basic hot milk sponge type and is almost impossible to mess up. It’s a not too sweet cake that adapts well to many uses. Line two 9 inch round pans with parchment paper and spray with pan spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl sift together 1 ½ C flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt. Set aside. In a large mixer bowl beat 3 large eggs with 1 ½ C sugar until the eggs are thick, fluffy and almost white, about five minutes. Melt 6 tbsp butter in a saucepan and

If you are looking for a great dessert to welcome in the Fall season, this is it! add ¾ C milk and 1 tsp vanilla. Heat just until small bubbles form at edges of pan. Remove the bowl from the stand and whisk the hot milk mix quickly and thoroughly then whisk in the flour mix. Working quickly spread the batter in the pans and place in the oven. Bake about 20-25 minutes until golden and 200 degrees on a thermometer. Place pans on rack and cool completely. When cold, remove from pans but leave on the parchment. Place on a cake plate or in gallon zip-loc bags and refrigerate overnight. Be sure to remove the paper before assembly! Filling: place 6 egg yolks in a bowl and whisk with 1 ½ C sugar until fluffy and pale yellow. Sift in ¼ C flour and stir until well blended. Heat 2 C half-andhalf cream in a pan with 1 tsp vanilla until bubbles form. Pour about half of the hot cream over the egg yolks and whisk

Ten Things You Need to Know About Flu
1. It is impossible to get the flu from the flu shot. The vaccine is composed of fragments of dead virus; which cannot cause disease, but do stimulate your immune system to fight flu. 2. The flu shot formula changes every year based on a scientific prediction of which strains will be circulating. Sometimes the prediction is not as on-target as we would like; but SOME protection always beats NO protection! Get a flu shot every year. 3. Anti-viral medications are available to treat flu if you contract it. However, the drugs are not a miracle cure. They may lessen the severity of symptoms, but only shorten the duration of infection by 1-2 days. These drugs are of greatest use to people at risk for complication due to other health issues. 4. Pregnant women should get flu shots. The vaccine is safe for mother and fetus, and the protection may be passed to the infant; continuing after birth. 5. The nasal mist form of the flu vaccine will not be available this year (2016). The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has determined it to be unreliably effective. 6. Flu season typically occurs from
October to May in the US. Infection rates generally peak December through March. 7. The flu virus can survive for up to 8 Pamela hours on surfaces. Becker, RpH This means you can get the flu even if you Rice’s are not in the vicinity Pharmacy of someone who is ill. & Gifts Wash hands often and avoid touching eyes, A “Pill Box nose, mouth, or face Pharmacy” when out in public. 8. It takes approximately 10-14 days for the body to respond to a flu shot. If you put off getting vaccinated until the flu virus is actively circulating; it is possible to be exposed and contract the virus during the 10-14 days before the shot becomes effective. 9. Over 50,000 people in the U.S. die each year from flu and flu complications. 10. Flu symptoms include: high fever, body aches, chills, extreme fatigue, nausea, cough and congestion. Symptoms may last for up to two weeks. Pneumonia is a common complication of flu which may require hospitalization and extensive recovery time.

Awareness Month
Earth
According to Healthline.com, September is “World Alzheimer’s Month.” Did you know it is also “Pain Awareness Month,” “National Yoga Awareness Month,” and “Whole Grains Month”? The list contains over 30 awareness issues just in September! After reading all the months, it became evident that it’s not on the list currently. So how about “National Put Down the Phone and Talk to the Person Sitting Beside You Month”? This may not seem as important as Alzheimer’s but lack of interpersonal skills and communication is a near epidemic. If you are in a room full of people, put the paper down and look around the room you are in. Count how many people are currently on their phone. Then, count how many people are on their phone with someone sitting next to them also on their phone. I was sitting in Elmer’s the other night and noted that there were at least 3 couples around the room having dinner together, separately. Both share a booth but neither shared a word. Cellphones have become essential. Remember waiting for someone to get home from the store just to send them back for the milk we forgot to put on the list? While we are thankful we’re able to text “Get milk,” doesn’t anyone else wonder when cellphones became appendages? Back when cellphones all had small square screens without room for photos, a friend in college’s cell phone simply read “Jean’s Dog Leash.” It was just

funny at the time but it is now eerily true. How often are we upset because someone did not answer the phone or promptly respond to our text? Gone are the days of saying, “Let the machine get it.” What Amanda Brown MD happened to being able to disconnect for Avoda a few hours without Health being interrupted by Clinic a barrage of texts and emails? Conversation. Talking. Interacting. This is a critical part of being human. The answer to the problem? No, it’s really not another awareness month. Phone-free time. Check your phone in each evening for a couple of hours or when going out to dinner with friends or family. Resist the urge to idly check email and texts or browse on Facebook. Does anyone really care that you just checked in to show you were at Starbuck’s for the 4th time this week? Put the cellphone down and step away. You may just find something more important waiting on the other side of your screen. Avoda Health believes that the best clinic involves a partnership between the physician and the patient. Dr. Amanda Brown has sought to provide excellent care for her patients in her practice. By becoming a Direct Primary Care Clinic, she is now continuing to provide the same exceptional care for patients but at an affordable price. Your health is our priority.

Digestive Health
Faith
Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Buys Going And Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Times
PART I
Believe it or not, your digestive system is essentially a long tube that starts at your mouth and ends at your other end. It has one purpose - to extract nutrients and energy from the foods we eat. Your digestive organs esophagus, stomach and intestines, etc., are simply modifications of that tube. This system is very efficient as long as it is functioning normally. Many children and adults, however, suffer from a malfunction of their digestive system. In fact the three most common conditions affecting intestinal function that I see in my practice are; Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Ulcerative Colitis, and Crohn’s Disease. Although not exactly the same, they all have a great deal in common and escalate in severity. Crohn’s disease, the most serious, is a very chronic and long-term ulceration of the digestive tract. It usually extends though the wall of the intestine and involves all layers of your “digestive tube.” Ulcerative Colitis, on the other hand, mainly involves only the internal layers called the “mucosa” and the “submucosa.” IBS is even lesser on this scale. Patients affected by these conditions can suffer chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal cramping, severe pain, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, loss of weight, malabsorption, malnutrition, headaches, etc. It has

been noted that Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis increase the risk of colon cancer by as much as 20 times. This can also be Dr. Nicholas said for IBS to a R. Brown, certain degree. If Timber linn left untreated, bowel Chiropractic function slowly Clinic deteriorates and can be life-threatening. 541-967-8060 Definitely conditions that should be avoided at all cost! The most common medical treatment for these conditions is anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmotic medication, surgery, diet, counseling, etc. While sometimes necessary, this type of approach does not really deal with the cause of these problems, mostly the symptoms. As a chiropractor who deals mostly with children, I see these conditions in a different light. One needs to remember that we are dealing with human beings, not simply their intestines. Our approach recognizes that difference. Many people, for instance, are surprised to learn that the body is a selfhealing and a self-regulating organism. In other words, it is designed to heal itself and regulate its own functions. You probably have not given this much thought, but you are on “auto-pilot.” For an example; the cells in your digestive tract deteriorate continuously, and are replaced by brand new cells doing the same function. This is normal and is controlled by your internal “autopilot” - your own nervous system. See you in October for PART II

At River’s Edge our treatments and skin care line are customized for your individual needs. Our most popular facial treatments include Gem-Crystal & Flower Essence Treatments. In addition to addressing the needs of skin as it matures these ingredients and treatments provide many mind - body benefits. Two of our most popular are Rose Quartz and Green Tourmaline. Rose quartz is an excellent heart-healing gemstone. It is a nature remedy that can be used for treating any issue that needs emotional healing. Rose quartz is a pink-colored crystal that carries a very gentle and soothing energy and gives comfort to anyone whose heart has been wounded. Egyptians believed rose quartz had antiaging properties. Tumbled stones of rose quartz were gathered by the Nile River where they then used these as facial massage stones to keep the complexion clear and prevent wrinkles. Rose quartz is also the stone of empowering love for oneself and for others, and for releasing stress. It may also be beneficial in diminishing the appearance of unsightly scars. Use as an elixir to clear the skin, reduce wrinkles and promote a soft complexion. Green Tourmaline - As an energizing stone, tourmaline is believed to vitalize the skin, making it appear more radiant and youthful. When tourmaline crystals warm as they are rubbed onto skin, they become positively charged on one end and negatively

There’s also some research published in The Journal of Cosmetic Science that claims that tourmaline radiates infra-red rays and this heats the skin (the theory is a bit like crystal or wave therapy) and therefore stimulates the circulation. Tourmaline powder has been proposed as a natural substitute for harsh detergents in hair and skin cleansing products. Tourmaline strongly promotes compassion, particularly towards yourself, Green tourmaline strengthens the heart and offers detoxification effect. This crystal has properties that help with detoxing, boosting confidence, balancing mental stress and helping to remove fear, negativity, and worrying. Tourmaline also contains a wide scope of healing effects. Green Tourmaline (also known as Verdelite) brings a joy for life. It promotes an appreciation for the many wonders that life has to offer.

What is Child Evangelism Fellowship? Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF®) was first founded in 1937, and is approaching its 80th birthday! We are celebrating the fact that we are not just a local ministry, but all around the world as well. Here locally, CEF of Oregon Linn County Chapter serves the community through both after school programs called Good News Clubs® and summer programs called 5-Day Clubs®. Good News Club® is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes, just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet with their parent’s permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a mission’s story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme. You might also see CEF at your local county fair or other community events offering free face painting and Bible stories for kids. CEF partners with local churches to share God’s Word with the children in your community. Linn County Chapter currently has one full time and two part time staff members, but we are excited to announce the addition of two more part time staff starting January 2017! We are excited about this growth, but also know that we would accomplish nothing without our hundreds of volunteers. If you are interested in getting involved with CEF, contact us at 541-258-7150, or cefolc@ centurylink.net.

What
Welcome Sears Hometown! Welcome to Sears Hometown your local family owned and operated Hometown Store. We focus on the best of what Sears has to offer. We carry the top ten major appliance brands including Sears’ exclusive brand Kenmore. We also have mattresses, lawn and garden equipment, tools and vacuums. We also do replacement exchanges on any of your broken Craftsman tools with a lifetime warranty. Plus we can order anything else that Sears’s full line stores carry. Our family has been involved with the Sears Company for many years starting with (Dad) Floyd Huff who began working for Sears in 1978 in Portland. A few years later he transferred to the Salem store and worked there for almost 30 years before retiring. (Mom) Susanne also began working at the Salem store in 1997. Floyd sold appliances and Susanne worked in the jewelry department. In early 2014 an opportunity became available for them to become owners of the McMinnville Sears Hometown franchise. Of course they invited the family to come work for them. So in March the Sears family legacy moved to the next generation as five of their nine children began working for the company.
In March 2016 we opened our second location in Albany. The Albany Sears Hometown store is no different we continue to run this business with family. The Albany store is managed by Floyd and Susanne’s oldest daughter, Megan Stanton. We look forward to continuing the Sears family legacy in Albany for years to come. We would love to visit with you and see how we can help you with whatever needs you may have. We are located in the Heritage Mall (near where the old Sears mall entrance was). Please feel free to call us at 541-981-2503 if you have any questions. Our family is happy to be a part of the Points for Profit family and this community.

How Long Will This Business Stay Open? Standing in line at a new shop in town a women behind me said “I wonder how long this one will stay open?” I wanted to turn around and give her a piece of my mind, but I held my tongue and decided to share my thoughts with all instead. It really is simple, businesses will stay open as long as people shop with them! If we each expect someone else to spend their money at the local business while we save a penny from an online source, no one wins. Local businesses represent local families, money back into our community, and so much more. Just this past month a local restaurant closed their doors abruptly. So what? This doesn’t affect me? Maybe not directly but for the 100 people employed by them it does. A business (brick and mortar) closing can have a far reaching effect on families, children, the community and the country! As Kevin Ferguson Owner of Willamette Valley Christian Supply said in a recent Facebook post “the closure will impact our community emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. These observations
Complete Business Solutions
must cause us to ask how we can strengthen our local commerce. I have several suggestions: 1) the first is the most critical. We must buy local. When we by online, we might save money, but in the long run, we lose when our businesses close around us. 2) We must buy smart. Our store works hard at providing competitive pricing but because we employ local people (think of it as your daughter or son or father or mother) we can’t always compete with online shopping nor should we have to. Local businesses need your loyalty and consistent support. 3) We must strive to not only build our community but to sustain it!” Building Community means shop locally (not on your computer but walking in the door or your local businesses), serve locally (get involved with a local non-profit or clean up the trash in your neighborhood or offer to help at the local retirement community) and sustain locally (by doing the first two on purpose with purpose, we will sustain our community). It takes each of us doing our part.

“The Ascent of a Leader”
The Ascent of a Leader is an approach to leadership that cuts against the grain. Most individuals spend most of their lives trying to reach the top rung on the ladder of success. Sadly, success in the world’s eye is financial security, the type of house one might live in, and what position Keven or title a person might have. Ferguson, Bill Thrall does an excellent Willamette job of redefining the ladder Valley with a different goal in mind. Christian He begins with the Biblical Supply foundation that we have been made in the “Imago Dei”, image of God. Bill makes this comment, “Each human being bears the imago dei, the image of God. The Ascent of a Leader speaks to the unique plan and purpose implied by this spark of the divine implanted within you.” (pg. 11) What first caught my attention in this book was the reality that many don’t reach the top and often fall in ruin as they leave a wake of destruction behind them. Some leaders have reached the top according to the world’s standards only to find emptiness or broken home lives. Bill gives several reasons why leaders fall from the ladder. The first is because they lack humility and no longer are listeners and learners. The second is in connection with their character, or lack thereof. We have seen the lack of integrity and character even in the Presidency, which some may conclude to be the top of the ladder. The third reason Bill gives is due to the loss of purpose or living by those things a person once held as deep convictions. Bill quotes a statistic from Yale, “yet fewer than half of us – only 35 percent according to a recent study by the Yale School of Management – believe that our leaders are honest.” (pg. 14) Follow along next month for more insight on this wonderful book. I would highly recommend this read to any developing leader, whether they are serving in the church or in the cooperate world.

Remodeling Your Bathroom? If a bathroom remodel is on your horizon, choosing the right shower door or enclosure will have a lasting impact on the final product. All-glass or “frameless” shower doors offer a clean and sleek look to your bathroom. The doors are made from heavier glass than typical shower doors, usually 3/8” or ½”, and are attached to the walls with simple glass-to-wall hinges and clamps or “U” channels so there isn’t any actual frame around the glass. These doors add flexibility to your shower space since they are custom made to fit each opening instead of mass produced to a standard size at a large home center. The thicker glass adds stability and durability to the shower as well as giving it an elegant and modern look. It’s also a great way to show off a beautiful or intricately tiled shower. Frameless doors require strong backing in the wall to provide support for the hinges and weight of the glass. Also, since there is no frame, water can escape around the edges of the door so they work best with larger showers or where the shower head can be pointed away or placed farther from the door. And, if privacy is a concern, the glass doors and walls can be made with etched or obscure glass. For these reasons, it’s recommended to get your local glass company(like Smith Glass) involved early in

Game Blocked Tom By Dr. Eric Glaze, Albany Animal Hospital (541) 926-8817 We recently had new clients bring a young male cat into our clinic at the very end of the day who was very nearly dead. His temperature would not register on the thermometer and his heart was beating very slowly. It was clear he was uncomfortable and I quickly felt his belly to confirm his diagnosis. His bladder was very distended, firm and painful. He was “blocked”. The technical term for this condition is obstructive lower urinary tract disease and this is a condition that occasionally happens to male cats. Both male and female cats can have periodic episodes of lower urinary tract disease. Signs of lower urinary tract disease are similar in both male and female cats and include; excessive grooming of the genitals, increased frequency of urination and in smaller volumes, straining to urinate, peeing outside the box, and sometimes blood tinged urine. The symptoms are the same regardless of the underlying cause. The causes include urinary crystals and or bladder stones, urinary tract infection and anatomical abnormalities. The most common cause of symptoms is as a result of a condition known as idiopathic cystitis. Urinary tract infections rarely occur in cats between the ages of one and twelve years of age. Urinary crystals and bladder stones are slightly more common and can often be addressed through dietary modification. Anatomical abnormalities are extremely rare. Nearly two thirds of cats with episodes of urinary disease are due to idiopathic cystitis. This is a condition we don’t yet completely understand and will be the subject of a

future article. The point of this article is that males have much narrower urethras than females and they can get plugged up if they are showing the symptoms of lower urinary tract disease. Plugs are formed from combinations of blood, crystals and mucous. The most common location for a plug to get lodged is at the very end of the urethra which is at the tip of their penis. Once the plug is lodged the male cat has officially become blocked and his urine has nowhere to go. The bladder simply gets bigger and bigger. This is an extremely painful situation. If a male cat shows the above symptoms and becomes extremely painful, squats from long periods while producing little to no urine, and howls whenever his abdomen is touched then he needs to be seen by a vet immediately. The sooner they are unblocked the quicker they recover. If the condition persists they become increasingly lethargic while remaining extremely uncomfortable. The cardiovascular system begins to shut down and their body temperature drops as potassium that normally is excreted in the urine backs up into the blood. High levels of blood potassium cause the heart to beat slower and with less force and eventually stop beating all together. Most of our clients are familiar with this condition because we make sure all owners of male cats know the warning signs. These clients were new to us and mistook their cat’s condition for constipation, an understandable mistake. The laxatives he was given didn’t help. Thankfully he recovered completely with aggressive treatment during five days of hospitalization. If caught earlier his recovery would have been quicker. If you or someone you know owns a male cat please make sure you are all familiar with this condition.

Aging
As we age we are often met by the all dreaded symptoms of aging. Women deal with menopause, libido, and hot flashes while men deal with drops in their testosterone and sexual issues. As we approach the “age” we start Brittney experiencing Haywood, Owner Health changes in our and Herbs body, the question “is there anything that works for relief?” For men and women there is a natural approach to these and many other issues that you can do NATURALLY, with few or no side effects. Taking a natural approach to your aging needs along with diet has many benefits and is definitely worth the try before going to more extreme measures. What are some of the herbs that help you ask? Well a few popular ones for women are chaste tree berry, damiana leaf, yohimbe bark, dong quai, black cohosh, wild yam, and muira puama to name a few. For centuries herbs have been helpful to many women with issues such as infertility, menopause, PMS, menstruation issues, milk production, labor and delivery, and more. Now for men herbs have been able to aide in issues such as increasing sex drive, boosting testosterone levels, increasing sperm count, prostate issues, and erectile dysfunction disorder. Men have also looked to herbs for helping to build muscle in stamina during workouts. Now you might be wondering how I take these herbs. There are many different ways you can take herbs; such as capsules, tinctures (liquid), teas, or in powder form. For more information you can call and talk to an experienced herbalist and receive a free consultation to discuss your herbal needs at Health & Herbs (541) 791-8400.

How Administrative Services Home-Based Business is Can Help Your Business Game Good Business Taste Many business owners today are so busy they find it difficult to take care of the many details related to running their business.

What Elephants Know By Eric Dinerstein
With a nod to The Jungle Book, Dinerstein tells the tale of Nandu, a teenager working in the King of Nepal’s elephant stable. When just a toddler, Nandu was found in the wilderness, being protected by wild dogs. Unlike most orphan stories, however, this is not a tale about finding his lost roots, but instead about finding his place in the present. The Borderlands, a wild jungle between India and Nepal, is a seemingly timeless setting at the beginning of the book. After the first few chapters, you think you’re reading a pleasant Nepalese fable. Soon, however, we learn of the inevitable encroachment of Land Rovers into the area, and governmental budget cuts mean the king needs to close Nandu’s elephant ranch. He gives the ranch one year to prepare to move all their elephants to a larger, more centralized ranch. During that year, Nandu’s experiences—boarding school, a terrible fight with bandits, befriending a few strangers, personal tragedy, and his change in stature at the stable— give him the courage to try to save the stable from closure, using the plan of
his best friend’s sister. Ultimately, this is a coming-of-age story, as many young adult novels are. But it may never Scott make the bestseller Givens, list, because this is a throwback to Browsers Bookstores, older writing: no grandiose plot of and fellow saving the world, reviewer, only saving a stable; daughter, no fantastic alternate Amanda reality, but the rustic Givens setting of a Nepalese jungle. The basis in reality is actually surprising for a book published by Disney, which is no stranger to hyperbolic fantasy. However, the author spent many years as a scientist in Nepal, and after reading this book, you’ll feel like you know a little about the Borderlands and the life of an elephant driver. The Borderlands, like America, is a place of mixed cultures. In the story, we see Hindus, animists, Muslims, and a Christian missionary; and I can’t even keep track of the different ethnicities that inhabit the area. Despite this jumble of people, respect is the order of the day. If for no other reason, this mutual respect of race and religion makes the book a good read for anyone, not just young adults. And what, exactly, do elephants know? Well, you’ll just have to read the book and find out!

vigorously. This tempers the eggs- heating, but not cooking them. Return the yolk mixture to the pan and cook until the mixture just boils then lower heat and cook about 1 minute. It will be thick and you may need to whisk it smooth. Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing to exclude any air. Chill. To assemble the cake first prepare the frosting. Melt 4 ounces good quality semisweet chocolate in the microwave. Bring ½ C heavy cream to a boil. Pour cream over chocolate and stir until smooth. Add 2 tbsp light corn syrup to the chocolate and stir well. Set aside to cool a bit and thicken a little. Place the de-papered cake layer on a nice platter, top with the pastry cream, the second cake layer and pour the slightly thickened frosting over, allowing it to drip alluring over the sides. Chill. This is a guaranteed reputation maker, I have seen grown men moved to tears when the cake is unveiled. But remember, if I catch you using a pudding mix... well, you have been warned.
