January 2017 Can You Create a Neologism For Berryessa? Neologism is defined as a new word or a new use for an old word, or the act of making up new words. Neologisms remind us that language is not something set in stone, but an The Lake Berryessa News evolving body of work. As new things are invented, as slang becomes acceptable, and as Your Information Gateway to Lake Berryessa and our Napa Back Roads! new technologies emerge, new words must fill in the gaps in language.

    A Farewll to Arms by Ernest Hemingway (1899- 1961) First Published in 1929. Typesetting and Layout Design by All the Classics. Published by All the Classics, March 2020. Catalogue entry: AC-EH-01/2579/011 all-the-classics.com [email protected] Cover Image: Ernest Hemingway at Bullfight in Málaga, Spain by unknown photographer, 1959, 5" x 7", John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum EH6016P, Primary Collection, Papers of Ernest Hemingway, Photograph Collection. Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on 21st July 1899 in Cicero (now Oak Park), Illinois to Clarence and Grace Hemingway. Ernest was raised in suburb of Chicago and spent summers in Walloon Lake in upper Michigan where his family had a cabin. In high school, he worked for the school newspaper Trapeze and Tabula, writing mainly about sports. After graduation, he started his career as a writer for the Star, a newspaper in Kansas City, at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered World War I, his request to join the army was rejected several times due to a defective eye. However, he finally joined the army as an ambulance driver for the American Red Cross. On 8th July 1918, he was wounded on the Austro-Italian front and therefore had to spend some time in hospitals. He was decorated for his heroism. While in a hospital in Milan, he fell in love with Agnes von Kurowsky, a Red Cross nurse, who rejected his proposal. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers and was sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek Revolution.

Much of it has heretofore existed but in manu- script ; and such pieces as are in print are now hardly to be found beyond the confines of two or three libraries. For this reason they are printed ; and because they are the pro- ductions of a very important party, concerning whose con- duct and motives very little is now known save by the report of its foes and subjugators.

Their tone betrays indeed the intemperance of men writing, as Tacitus says, recentibus odiis; and it often presents an extreme contrast to that system of eulo- gizing all the abstract virtues under one proper name which is the frequent and fatal vice of American biography.

Insurance Great news! We have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. In February we learned that our liability and um- brella insurance carrier, “The PHLY” had decided to terminate our coverage effective April 30, 2020. This was due to the potential liability created by the current lawsuit filed against one of our Branches. Our Broker had numerous discussions asking them to reconsider, but to no avail. Further, requests for quotations were sent to over 20 insurance companies, and only one had indicated they would consider quoting a figure. Our current liability insurance and umbrella coverage premium is ~$43K, and we were staring at the possibility of purchasing coverage through the Excess insurance market at an annual premium in the neighborhood of $100K to $150K. Things looked bleak. Fortunately, an appeal directly to the Chairman and CEO of The PHLY turned things around, and the cancella- tion decision was rescinded. Yesterday we found that our annual liability and umbrella insurance premium would only be increased by $10K, a very reasonable amount. This will create a non-budgeted net deficit of ~$4K. We have decided that the funds saved by not operating during the COVID 19 crisis and cash reserves will cover this deficit with no increase in member assessments in 2020.
