Book Review
The Pieces We Keep
book by Kristina McMorris
review by Judy Piper
This novel tells the story of two women, Audra and Vivian, and how their lives intersect.
In 2012, Audra and her son Jack live in Portland, Oregon. She and her son are having difficulty coping with the death of Daniel, her husband and Jack’s father. She has sold her house and moved to an apartment and is now contemplating moving across the country to take a new job as a veterinarian.
On the flight to Boston, Jack has a violent outbreak and the plane quickly returns to the gate. Jack continues with nightmares where he yells out words and names that make no sense to his mother and he becomes very interested in WWII.
Vivian lives in London with her parents as her father is an American diplomat. Hitler is rising to power and London is experiencing air raid drills. At one drill she meets Isaak, an American with a German background who is studying in London. Soon they fall in love, but her father wants her and her mother to go back to America. Isaak said he would come with her but first must seek out his family in Germany. He never makes the train. Vivian goes to New York and obtains a job as a switchboard operator for the army and shares a room with a former classmate, Luann. Isaak eventually finds his way to New York and locates Vivian. At the same time, Vivian is now seeing Gene, Luann's brother, who is an intelligence officer for the Army.
You need to keep reading to find out if Isaak is a patriot or a spy; does Vivian continue to see Gene; and how does her life play a role in Jack’s.
Make sure you read the author’s note at the end for information she used to create her story.

PARENTING.....A year-round guide to beer and wine pairing
(BPT) - When you hear the phrase “pairing tips,” do you instinctively grab your wine opener and pull out stemmed glasses? Wine is divine, but over the past few years there’s no denying that craft beers are trending and getting foodies everywhere excited to re-think pairing possibilities. Artisan and handcrafted beers are no longer just an afterthought on the drink menu - they’re standing tall next to your favorite red and white wine varietals, proving to be just as food-friendly.
Whether you’re an aspiring sommelier or a beer enthusiast, it’s time to pour a glass of something new and see how the other side pairs. Get started with these tips from renowned foodie expert and blogger Brian Samuels of “A Thought for Food.” Samuels recommends the acclaimed, handcrafted wine varietals of Bridlewood Estate Winery along with your beer of choice. For more information visit www.BridlewoodWinery.com. Food: Burger with caramelized onions Beverage: Pinot noir or English IPA Why: Burgers and beer always seem like a natural pairing, but have you ever tried pairing it with a glass of wine? Next time you’re lighting up the grill, pull out a bottle of Bridlewood Pinot Noir. A slight char on the burger pairs beautifully with the hint of black pepper in the wine. For the brew lovers in the group, serve an English IPA. The caramel notes that come through in the beer pair perfectly with burger toppings such as grilled red onions. Food: Lobster roll Beverage: Chardonnay or Pilsner Why: There are few things more enjoyable than sitting outside on a blazing hot summer day with a tall beer or a glass of wine. Pilsners and chardonnay are lighter options that pair with a variety of foods. For heavier dishes, like a lobster roll, the vanilla notes of a chardonnay go perfectly with the natural sweetness of the lobster meat. If craft beer is more your thing, try a Pilsner. The slight bitterness (from the hops) and sweetness (from the malt) flavors, as well as the fizziness of the beer, help cut through the richness in the creamy lobster roll. Food: Roasted vegetables with Gorgonzola and fresh herbs Beverage: Brown ale or cabernet sauvignon Why: Traditionally cabernet pairs best with meat, but what about a dish for vegetarians? Roast up cold weather favorites such as carrots, parsnips and turnips to bring out their natural sweetness. These satisfying flavors will shine when sipping on cabernet sauvignon with its subtle notes of chocolate and molasses - or try a glass of brown ale, which embodies caramel and nutty flavors. Food: Chocolate truffles Beverage: Red blend or stout Why: End the feast with a plate of decadent chocolate truffles and serve with the Bridlewood Blend 175, loaded with jammy notes. For the beer lovers at the table, a stout, which is rich in chocolate and coffee notes, is another natural accompaniment. Police Get Residents High With Weed BonfireWEST JAKARTA, Indonesia, (UPI) -- Police in Indonesia set fire to more than 3 tons of marijuana, inadvertently causing several witnesses and nearby residents to get high from the smoke.Palmerah police set fire to 3.6 tons of marijuana in a field outside their West Jakarta office March 11, and several reporters and other witnesses reported dizziness and other effects associated with marijuana consumption.
Some residents living nearby the station reported the smoke wafted into their windows and caused intoxicating effects. The police officers tending the fire wore protective masks. A representative from Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency said the smoke inhalation would not lead to any long-term health problems. Police also disposed of thousands of ecstasy pills and a large amount of crystal meth -- but they chose to blend those drugs rather than throw them on the fire.

Cutting Edge Dentistry
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com To use the words of one of my supply Reps., digital intra-oral scanners are, ”scary accurate.” But, I had no idea how true that is. Family Dental Care has just begun using a digital scanner for imaging crowns, veneers, bridges, splints, and Invisalign cases. That means, taking a PICTURE of the mouth, instead of making an impression of the mouth. An intra-oral scan takes the place of goopy impression material, which is nice; but, the best news is that the accuracy is unmatched! The fit of your new crowns and veneers is very precise. And all without a tray full of impression material. At Family Dental Care, we have always promised to stay abreast of tried and true technology, and this jump to digital scanning, is definitely cutting edge. garywilliamsdmd.com.
