The

A fascinating look at a time

World’s Fair of 1897.

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

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-

out on foot to the Chinese
border. This is a true story that
is a real page turner.

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.

LAURA REID, Keizer

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.

MATT LAWYER, Keizer

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.

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

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.

Rob Robertson, Owner
Businesses, especially small, owner-operated
ones, are not banks and generally can not afford
to carry account balances for long periods of
time. Commerce works best when customers
pay their bills. Sometimes, after trying to collect
debts, businesses must turn to professionals to
help collect money owed to them.
That’s when they can turn to Cascade
Collections, Inc. Since March 1970 Cascade
Collections, Inc. has represented businesses in
the collection of past due accounts including
resolution of disputes and payment negotiations.
Owner Rob Robertson and his professional staff
gather information, follow up on investigations
and, when necessary, use legal means to ensure
repayment.
“We offer our clients help in establishing a
billing and collection procedure time schedule
to help increase the best rate of return for them,”
says Robertson.

service prior to a past due account being assigned
for collection. “This is a notice sent on our own
letterhead giving the consumer a fi nal 30 days
to remedy their debt and deal directly with our

100 percent of the money collected during the
initial 30-day period goes directly to the client;
there is no commission owed during this period.

agency, dedicated to the success of their clients
through the highest level of professional and
ethical collections procedure providing their
customers the best rate of recovery on their past
due accounts.
“Our mission is to maintain a positive
