ENGAGEMENTS
MI TOWN
Wolfe-Osborne
We’re celebrating the re-
turn of many new and re-
turning students to Western
Oregon University, as classes
began this week. As we say
farewell to summer and
those lazy, long evenings,
we’re all a bit more energized
to see and meet our new
neighbors as they learn to
navigate around their school-
year community and settle in
to university living for the
next several months.

What could be more fun
that a football game on an
autumn afternoon? Our
WOU Wolves meet Azusa Pa-
c i f i c t h i s Sa t u rd a y, a t
McArthur Stadium on cam-
pus. Round up the kids and
pack up a blanket or two, and
everyone can have a great
time without a big hit to the
wallet or a long drive.

Pianist Gayle Hennicke
will be performing works
from J.S. Bach at Faith
Lutheran Church (200 Mon-
mouth-Independence High-
way) on Sunday. Ms. Hen-
nicke has spent many years
in Germany teaching and
performing professionally,
after receiving degrees in
Music in the U.S. There is no
cost for the concert, and peo-
ple will have the opportunity
to meet with her at a recep-
tion following the concert.
Any donations will benefit
refugees in Europe.
As we make the transition
from summer to autumn,
we’re spending less time out-
doors and getting ready for
the longer and darker
evenings to come. After a
busy afternoon raking leaves,
preparing dinner and other
household chores, it’s nice to
curl up in a comfy chair by
the fireside with a good book
and a cup of tea. A sweet dog
(or two) or a warm cat on
your lap is optional, but very
welcome in our house.

Those of us who have fol-
lowed Kelly Williams Brown
to becoming a published au-
thor, were pleased to read
“Adulting” (a perfect high
school or college graduation
gift to daughters or grand-
daughters) a few years ago.
Brown’s new book is Gra-
cious, which I’m looking for-
ward to reading very soon.
Jules Cooper, who lives with
husband Rick Cooper in
Kings Valley has just pub-
lished her first novel, “Marcea
of the Dust: The Lost Girls”,
and it’s now available at Ama-
zon and other retailers. My
dear friend of many years,
Moma Escriva, has recently
published her first book,
“One Lie Too Many.” What
fun it’s been to go with Moma
on this extraordinary journey
from writing class to seeing
her finished work.

Let’s all take the time to get
to our destinations these
days and be extra careful
when driving as there are
more walkers and bike riders
on our local streets and high-
ways. Please be watchful and
take care when venturing out
into the world.

PEDEE NEWS
On Sept. 16, good friend
Ardene Barnhart joined her
friend Jesus in heaven at the
age of 89. She lived in
Hoskins but attended Pedee
Church for the past several
years and was an inspiration
to us all, with her strong
faith, pithy reminders and
advice, and love for us all.

her.
