PAGE A8, KEIZERTIMES, JULY 7, 2017 racy in America by Alexis de Toc- queville Amazingly predictive and insightful of American self governance. Also recommended: The Fa- ther Tim series by Jan Karon READING, continued from Page A1 book in March and went on a world tour to publicize it. You would not believe how many countries and cities Kyle and Lilly have traveled to – and they’re not fi nished. JOSHUA RIST, McNary High School Choir Director Recommendation: Water the Bamboo by Greg Bell I'm reading it with my stu- dent leaders over the summer. Also recommended: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. NATE BROWN, Keizer Community Development Director Recommendation: The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson A fascinating look at a time and place where both magic and horror could fl ourish in the time of the Chicago World’s Fair of 1897. Also recommended: Thun- derstruck by Erik Larson. RYAN SOMERVILLE, McNary High School teacher Recommendation: Dear Leader by Jang Jin-sung It's the harrowing story of a man who works for the North Korean government writing propaganda. As one of the few individuals who has access to South Korean and Western literature, he begins to real- ize that their country’s blind allegiance to Kim Jong-Il is a sham. When he accidently CATHY CLARK, Keizer Mayor Recommendation: Democ- loses a western book he bor- rows from state reading room (a crime punishable by three generations of death – you, your parents, and your chil- dren). He immediately strikes out on foot to the Chinese border. This is a true story that is a real page turner. Also recommended: A Kim Jong-Il Production by Paul Fischer and Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick. JOHN TEAGUE, Keizer Police Chief Recommendation: The Not So Wild, Wild West by Terry H. Anderson This is a well-researched look at property rights in the pre-law American west. Contrary to myth that the west was ruled by violence, men governed themselves by contract and property inter- ests even where no such laws existed---perhaps even better than where such laws existed. Also recommended: Sto- len Valor by B. G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley; Inventing Free- dom: How the English-Speaking Peoples Made the Modern World by Daniel Hannan; Blood Struggle: The Rise and Fall of Modern Indian Nations by Charles F. Wilkin- son; Life in the Son and Elect in the Son by Robert Shank. LAURA REID, Keizer City Councilor Recommendation: The Chemist by Stephanie Meyer It's about a woman who formerly worked for a secret government organization, and her speciality was extracting information relative to na- tional security using chemical means; she got on someone's naughty list and is now on the run. It was a fast-paced, intriguing story with lots of twists and turns, and the char- acters were interesting and en- gaging. Also recommended: Emma by Alexander McCall Smith. MATT LAWYER, Keizer Parks and Recreation Board Member Recommendation: Gung Ho by Sheldon Bowles and Ken Blanchard The central theme is about leadership and getting an or- ganization to come together to do meaningful work that is done quickly with quality and a shared common goal all along celebrating each other. There are three themes about work that are in Gung Ho. The spirit of the squir- rel or people that work really hard towards a shared goal. The way of the beaver the purpose and direction. Each person has their place and they know what their purpose and direction is because everyone knows what is going on. Lastly, the gift of the goose, constant support and cheering of each other – celebrating wins and goals. It's a fun book told as a story with fun characters. The book really describes simple leadership ideas in a manner that is easily attainable and en- tertaining. ROCHELLE FARRIS, McNary High School College and Career Center Coordina- tor Recommendation: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah This WWII novel was so beautifully written. This war was a time of bitter hatred and in this story Kristin Hannah brings to life love, survival, bitterness, strength, and persis- tence. This book is a story of two sisters and their personal responses to war as it ravaged their country. Vianne and Isa- belle fi nd themselves facing frightening situations and bravely facing the tragedies of war in their own ways, but both with incredible courage and strength. I couldn’t put this book down. MARK CAILLIER, For- mer councilor, Keizer First Citizen, tireless volunteer Recommendation: Hand- cuffed: What Holds Policing Back, and the Keys to Reform by Mal- colm Sparrow This book helped me un- derstand the direction the Keizer Police Department is taking in supporting Problem Oriented Policing methods and understanding that pure enforcement of the laws is not the best answer to preventing and solving our short or long term community crime issues.
