Mizushima, who lives in Colorado with her veterinarian husband, sets her mysteries in the fictitious town of Timber Creek, Colo. Mizushima writes about both Colorado and animal care with obvious knowledge and experience. In this first mystery, we are introduced to Mattie and learn, through the course of the plot, some of her back story. A life- long resident of the town, Mattie had a hard childhood, ending up in foster care after her father murdered her mother. Mattie has also lost track of her younger brother in the foster care system. But Mattie had two lucky breaks: her last foster care home was a good one, with a loving foster mother who believed in Mattie and is still a good friend; and after yet anoth- er run-in with the local police, the chief saw something in To qualify, monthly gross income less than: Single $1,337 Election time is just around the corner and, while I could not even begin to comment on the state of the national nor even the state election, I would like to mention the local City election coming up. Two years ago there were three candidates on the ballot for Mayor and six candidates for city council. In the upcom- ing November election, there will be three incumbents that are running for re-election who are unopposed.

Premium assistance (Part B) Mattie’s tough girl shell, steering her into track and field, helping Mattie turn her school failures into success. With a recommendation for the police academy, Mattie’s life was changed. After scoring high- er than the other officers in her group, Mattie received advanced training as a K-9 officer and was paired with Robo. Now they are a team and have the challenge of proving them- selves to the department, in which Mattie is both the only female officer and Latina. Mizushima subtly inter- weaves the kinds of hazing and prejudice that a young female, Hispanic officer would face in a traditional, previously all-male workplace, especially one where the men value strength and toughness. If you like the mysteries by Nevada Barr or C.J. Box, give “Killing Trail” by Margaret Mizushima a try. 5 A (savings and other resources are less than $27,250) Call Oregon Medicare Savings Connect: Toll-free 1-855-447-0155 GUEST VIEWPOINT B Y J OE H ENRY M AYOR OF F LORENCE due to the culture change that has taken place in the City of Florence over the past two years. Early in 2015, we created a 5-point work plan and adopted a theme of “A City in Motion.” From there, we have made great progress in terms of city services, streets and park improvements, economic development and improve- ments in our relationships with local, county and state agen- cies. We have set the stage for some exciting things that have already begun to happen and more that will be coming in the near future. My profound thanks go out to our City Council, which has worked very hard as a team to make this possible. And also to our dedicated staff that has taken on a sub- stantially larger workload, doing so within budget and without adding any staff. Congratulations! And yes, I am running again for Mayor.

I will, how- ever, be putting up a few signs around town anyway. The reason for this is simply so that the community will not think that I take the position for granted and will know that I appreciate the trust that has been placed in me as your mayor. I have enjoyed the last two years very much and am look- ing forward to seeing many of the things that have been put “In Motion” come to fruition. I want to say my biggest thanks to the citizens of our community for making Florence the Premier Coastal Community in Oregon.
