I was sitting in a meeting at the Oregon School Activities Association and someone asked, “Are there any great books about high school sports?” I visited my storage locker and went through boxes and boxes of books I have read over the decades. It was five straight nights of dusting off “dust covers” (now I see why they are called that) and really taking some critical thought about writers who attempt to tell the real student-athlete story. Little Girls in Pretty Boxes – Joan Ryan (1995) This book leaves a lasting impression on any reader. The author, Joan Ryan, did relentless research on the impact of very young (some- times prepubescent) girls preparing for competition in both gymnastics and ice skating. Be ready for extreme detail in eating disorders, bone-growth disorders and delay menstruation. The book is well worth the read and you’ll never view Bela Karolyi in the same light as the guy carrying Kerri Strug to the medal stand. Friday Night Lights – H.G.

It is amazing what happens when we choose to participate in God’s ongoing redemptive work in the world. Over and over again during our trip, we witnessed the life-changing power of ordinary folks who are attentive and responsive to God’s call on their lives. We saw it in our travel partners, LCU alumni Terry (’81) and Cherie (Stockstill ’79) Creech, who are deeply involved in the work of KWO, which has built 14 orphanages in Kenya and feeds many more through its nutrition program. They take seriously God’s command that we are “to look after the orphans and widows in their distress” (James 1:27).

  • Euell Porter
    Euell Porter Material prepared by Maurice Alfred Biographical Sketch of Euell Porter 1910-1998 Edwin Euell Porter was born October 10, 1910 near Franklin, Texas and died September 23, 1998, in Waco Texas. He was the last of six children born to George W. and Alma Parker Porter. His parents worked a small farm outside of Franklin in Robertson County. George W. came from Missouri and was a second generation Irish immigrant. Euell’s mother was of Cajun descent with hair as “black as coal.” His twin sisters, Addis Mae and Gladys Faye, and his brothers, Richard Bland, Samuel Lewis, and George Felton, took care of their little brother almost from his birth. When Porter was about six, his mother became bedridden with influenza and he remembered his mother saying “bring that baby here and let him stand by the bed and sing for me.” Though his mother was ill, the Porter’s sang and made music each night, with his sister Addis or his brother Sam playing the piano, and the rest of the family singing. His mother’s illness became progressively worse, and she died when he was eight. After her death, the family moved to a farm near Pettaway, Texas. Their new house and farm were much larger, with one room set aside for music. In the music room there was a pump organ and a five pedal upright piano. The family continued its tradition of singing, with his sister Addis Mae playing the organ and brother Samuel Lewis playing the piano. In the early 1920’s, Porter attended a singing school in Boone Prairie and it was there he learned to read shaped notes.

  • November 16Th 2018 Revealed: the New Mikasa Indoor
    November 16th 2018 Revealed: the new Mikasa indoor volleyball design Cancun, Mexico, 16 November, 2018 - The FIVB and Mikasa Corporation revealed the design of the new “V200W” indoor volleyball in a special ceremony tonight, followed by a celebratory dinner hosted by the FIVB and Mikasa for all delegates attending the 36 th FIVB World Congress in Cancun, Mexico. The V200W features a perfectly balanced, 18-panel aerodynamic design that improves ball movement and gives players greater control. With enhanced visibility, the new indoor ball will optimise the quality of play and maximise excitement on the court. The double-dimpled microfiber surface stabilises the flight path of the ball and creates additional cushioned ball control, whilst the anti-sweat functionality “Nano Balloon Silica” prevents the surface of the ball from becoming slippery during intense play. The ball exceeds the FIVB’s homologation standards and passed stringent testing protocols, carried out by leading national teams and clubs over the last six months. The V200W will make its debut at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball World Cup and replaces the MVA200, which was first used at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. Following the announcement, FIVB President Dr Ary S. Graça F said: “Mikasa has supplied equipment for the FIVB since volleyball was first included on the Olympic Programme at Tokyo’s first Olympic Games in 1964, and the V200W will be the new FIVB official game ball. “Mikasa shares the FIVB’s vision for sporting innovation and I believe that our ongoing relationship will go from strength to strength as we move forward together.” Mikasa President Yuji Saeki said: “Our partnership with the FIVB has formed a fundamental relationship for our organisation for many years, and I am delighted to launch the V200W, which will be seen and used around the world.
