THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 21 March 2019 Charbonneau Book Club By DOROTHY HOCHHALTER Health and a good mystery on this month’s slate Our first choice for this month is a nonfiction book "Slow Medicine (the way of healing)" by Victoria Sweet. Over her 20 years of experience as a physician Sweet has come to the conclusion that the new technology has improved health care but time is needed to respond to bodies in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis and right treatment. Each chapter is an extremely interesting story of one of her many cases. I found myself fascinated by her techniques and am sure we will have a spirited discussion at our meeting March 12. BOOK CLUB North Willamette Research and Extension Center By MICHAEL BONDI Staff are available for presentations on local agriculture and fl ora Local farmers are busy during the winter, too. Sure, some take a break, rest and recuperate from the past season. But most are busy in the winter tending to equipment repairs and/or acquisitions, trying to figure out market niches for the coming year, securing land agreements if they rent ground, determining how to manage their labor needs, plus staying up-to-date on the latest If you enjoy a good mystery we are reading "An Unmarked Grave" by Charles Todd. This is one of the Bess Crawford series that takes place during WWI. She is a British nurse working in the French battlefields when she discovers that the murder of an officer that she knows has been covered up as a war death. Before she can report this to the authorities she falls extremely ill with Spanish flu that was a deadly epidemic in 1918. What follows is a look back at the effect the Spanish flu had on this war. Fortunately Bess recovers and is relentless in her pursuit of solving this crime. Todd is also the author of the Inspector Ian Rutledge series and several other novels written by this mother and son team. Please join us on March 26 when we explore this interesting concept. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at the Charbonneau Country Club from 1 to 2:30 p.m. We welcome visitors and everyone is encouraged to contribute to the discussion lead by one of our members.
