A Reese's Book Club Young Adult Selection

Review by Robert McCool

Although this book, “Fire Keeper's Daughter” (Henry Holt and Co. ISBN: 978-1-250-76656-4) is presented as a Young Adult book written by Angeline Boulley, it has many lessons to teach us, in a head-first, nose-dive into the Ojibwa Native Culture. Written very much like Tony's, and then Ann Hillerman's Navajo series of books, it gives us insight into a complex culture older than ours but set in contemporary times.

The Bluffton boys golf team won the rain-interrupted, 12-team Woodmore Invitational Wednesday.

St. Marys took third with 356 strokes. Casey Crooks of St. Marys was tournament champion with an 18-hole score of 77.

Pirate Kenny Lovett totaled an 80 to pace the Bluffton linksters and finish fourth in the 68-player field. He carded three birdies and six par holes.
