The Trees of Studebakerby Rick A. Richards
In 1938, James Cleary was on a fl ight from Washington, D.C., to Chicago, and as it passed over the Studebaker Proving Grounds just west of South Bend, a passenger asked the air hostess what it was. She didn’t know, but Cleary did.
He was a Studebaker executive who helped put the proving grounds on the map – at least from the air. It was Cleary who called Studebaker execu-tives after that fl ight and suggested that trees be planted near the proving grounds to spell out S-T-U-D-E-B-A-K-E-R.
It wasn’t just a mar-keting gimmick, either. At the time, Indiana had a law that exempted land being developed as a for-est from taxation. Now, 75 years later, the fores-tation efforts that creat-ed Bendix Woods County Park, also are responsi-ble for the world’s largest living advertising sign, at least according to the “Guinness Book of World Records.”
Evelyn Kirkwood, di-rector of the St. Joseph County Parks, points out that the S-T-U-D-E-B-A-K-E-R trees are marking their 75th anniversary this year. It’s a remark-able achievement, espe-cially since the red and white pine trees used in the living sign normally only live about 75 to 80 years.
“The sign could disappear,” said Kirkwood. “Fortunately, the trees we have now are still fairly healthy. We have them periodically checked by a forester.”

The S-T-U-D-E-B-A-K-E-R trees, which can been seen in satellite photos, stretch for half a mile along a hillside next to the proving ground where the com-pany tested its automobiles. Each letter is 280-feet from top to bottom and today reach 90 feet into the sky. In all, the letters cover 13 acres.
And since Studebaker had just moved into the aviation business, a sign that could only be seen from the air made sense from a marketing stand-point.
Studebaker reacted immediately to Cleary’s sug-gestion and in 1938 planted 8,259 red pine trees.
Kirkwood points out that even though more than 8,000 trees were planted 75 years ago, far fewer than that remain today, although the Studebaker name is still visible. Today, only about 1,800 trees remain.
Sometime after 1938 - young trees.(Provided by St. Joseph County Parks Department.)
“Over 75 years we’ve lost 7,200 trees,” said Kirk-wood. “We don’t know how closely together they were planted, but that was a lot of trees and many of them probably died in the fi rst few years because they were so close together.
Evelyn Kirkwood, director of the St. Joseph County Parks Department, at the sign designating the letter D in “Studebaker.”

“In recent years we’ve lost a lot of trees due to wind and storms,” said Kirkwood. “We had a torna-do in 1981 that took out the bottom part of the ‘R.’”
But as trees fall, the remaining trees branch out more, fi lling in the gaps. Kirkwood explained that’s why the letters aren’t as crisp when viewed from the air as they were decades ago.
“We’re very proud of this,” she said. “It’s a nice connection to our industrial history. It’s part of a story that needs to be told.”
Part of that story is the effort taking place by St. Joseph County Parks to preserve the trees. Already a study has been conducted by The Davey Resource Group to inventory the trees. While healthy, they are slowly being choked out by native hardwood trees.
Kirkwood said a $25,000 fund-raising effort is un-derway to implement the recommendations of the Davey Resource Group to clear out invasive species, remove dead trees and clear underbrush as a way to revitalize the remaining trees.
“The key is to remove the trees that are dead. They lean on and stress the live trees. We want to remove the encroaching hardwood trees and we’re also going to look at places where to plant new trees to replace missing ones.

“For us, the trees are very signifi cant,” said Kirk-wood. “They listed on the National Register and we feel an obligation to take care of them. If we can fund-raise to make it happen, that’s what we’ll do. It is the mission of the parks to care for our natural areas and tell our story. We’re doing both with this.”
Evelyn Kirkwood stands at the opening at the top of the letter U in Studebaker. This is the easiest letter to pick out from ground level.

As Kirkwood explains what is being done, she also shows off the trees from ground level. It’s not easy to pick out the letters, but there is a routed wood sign at the top of each letter to guide visitors. The ‘U’ is the easiest to pick out because there is a clearing in the middle of the letter. Inside the ‘D’ is a picnic table for visitors.
“Once you get the layout of the 13 acres where the letters are, you can see what each letter is,” said Kirkwood.
Provided by St. Joseph County Parks Department.
Even though Studebaker is long gone, its tradi-tion remains. In 1966, the proving ground was sold to Bendix Corp., which donated the former Stude-baker Clubhouse (now park headquarters) and the 175 acres that make up Bendix Woods County Park to the St. Joseph County Parks and Recreation Board.
Since then, the adjacent proving ground has been acquired by Bosch Corp.
In a letter in the St. Joseph County Parks ar-chives, James Cleary detailed his ideas for the con-cept of the S-T-U-D-E-B-A-K-E-R trees. A few years after the trees were planted, Cleary visited them.
“Some years ago I went to the proving ground to inspect the sign and found the trees about twenty feet tall and so close together that it was almost im-possible to walk between them through a letter.”
Cleary didn’t record his reaction to that, but after fl ying over barren ground and offering the sugges-tion to Studebaker to plant the trees, there certain-ly had to be some satisfaction in seeing the world’s largest living billboard up close.
Bendix Woods is located at 32132 State Rd 2, New Carlisle, Indiana.

Shirley Heinze Land TrustMoraine Forest Project Refl ections
----by Summer Intern Liz Zombik
Last Saturday (April 25), I had a wonderful time attending the second Moraine Forest workshop and hike, hosted by Shirley Heinze Land Trust and La-Porte County Conservation Trust. This was one in a series of several hikes that incorporates partner organizations from around Northwest Indiana. The hope is they will be able to raise the awareness of conservation options and assist landowners to pre-serve the Moraine Forest. Saturday’s workshop and hike was located at Springfi eld Fen in LaPorte.
When I walked in Jim Erdelac of Shirley Heinze Land Trust and Bob Boklund of LaPorte County Conservation Trust greeted me promptly along with other members of the LaPorte County Conservation Trust. I also introduced myself to a family of land-owners, the Chamber’s. Jim began the workshop by explaining to the group what exactly the purposes of land trusts are. He discussed how the goal is to obtain land through private sale, donation, or con-servation easement in efforts to preserve land that holds conservation potential.
He spoke on how the Moraine forest area was of particular interest due to the unique biodiversity within the moraine. The Valparaiso Moraine con-tains plant life that is unique to our area, some-times seen only in another particular region of the country. He informed us how the Moraine is not only important for its scenic beauty, but also how it provides us with better water quality, air quality, recreation activities, and also how it improves our economy because it provides a place for people to want to visit and travel to.
At the end of the workshop Bob showed pictures and discussed how different the forest areas of In-diana are today from how they were in the past, in-cluding the Valparaiso Moraine. The images showed a major decline in the amount of forest Indiana has today. The Northwest of the state also had a major decline in forest, especially along the Lake Michi-gan coast.
At this point I asked Leroy and Stacey Cham-
bers what it was they wanted to get out of today’s hike and workshop, they re-sponded saying, “We really wanted to just get some general in-formation because we live directly near the interested lands, part of it is our neighbor’s backyard. We’d like to know also, if any-thing, part of the land
would be able to be kept as a hunting pre-serve. And we’re concerned about losing the native habitat of the area, we don’t want it developed, we want to keep it undevel-oped. Also we are concerned about the water quality, we have streams running all through the property.”
When the workshop was over we all headed over to the Moraine and Springfi eld Fen pre-serve area. It was here I really learned the most. We were lead through the area by Liz, a member of the LaPorte County Conservation
Trust, who used to work at the preserve, and along with the others, was extremely knowledgeable of the land.
I was in awe as we walked through the trails. I was shown the spice bush, hornbeam trees, butter-nut trees, beautiful blooming marsh marigolds, red oak, tulip trees, and so much more. We were told how even though the multifl ora rose may be pret-ty, it was a non-native plant threatening the local plant life.
We were shown the little streams with the bloom-ing skunk cabbage that lead down to the fen area where we walked along land that was bog like and looked upon Beaver Pond. This was the part of the day that had the most impact on me. While we learned in the workshop how benefi cial it is to preserve the land, actually seeing everything really made it clear to me how and why land trusts are making efforts to preserve the interested areas.
When the hike was over we all said our goodbyes. I can honestly say after the day I was extremely ex-cited to see and learn more. Being around such an enthusiastic, concerned and knowledgeable group only increased my desires to come back next week, where I hope I will learn even more of our wonder-ful Valparaiso Moraine.

LaPorte Community Concert Assoc.Cahal Dunne to be First Offering in SeriesCahal Dunne, a songwriter, a masterful pianist,
a comedian and one of Ireland’s best vocalists, will appear in LaPorte on Fri., May 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the LP High School Auditorium under the auspices of the LaPorte Community Concert Association.
He has appeared with Bob Hope, Wayne New-ton, Al Martino and Tony Orlando and performed for several Presidents. He accompanies himself on the piano but has backing tracks on about 50% of the songs, so there is a full orchestra sound coming from the stage.
Cahal’s concert schedule takes him all over the country, but usually centers on the East Coast where he has a loyal following. This will be Cahal’s second tour for Allied Concert Services, the fi rst, a
highly successful 27 concerts performed in the 2010-11 Sea-son.
He is a native of Cork, Ireland, and he received a Bachelor of Music degree from University College of Cork. He has won a number of prizes in Irish Song Contests, including Ireland’s National Song Con-test with his winning song “Happy Man” which earned him the right to represent Ireland in the Inter-national Eurovision Music Contest in Is-rael. “Happy Man” became number one
in Europe and Ireland with record sales topping the quarter million mark. This gave him the title that most people know him by, “Ireland’s Happy Man.” Cahal makes his home near Pittsburgh, PA with his wife Kathleen and their family.
This concert is included for the 2012-13 Season ticket holders and also those who have joined the Community Concert Association for the 2013-14 Season. For information on how to join the LaPorte Community Concert Association and enjoy four top-notch entertainers in LaPorte and nineteen addi-tional concerts in Valparaiso, Portage, Munster & Warsaw, contact Beth LeRoy at 219/362-8262 or Bill Burger at 219/362-5292.

Tickets will also be available at the door: adults $15.00; students thru high school $5.00.

Forestry Video Wins Best in State “Forests at Work,” a video collaboration of the
DNR Division of Forestry and WFYI Public Tele-vision has received a fi rst-place “Best in Indiana Award” in the category of environmental reporting for 2012.
The award was presented by the Indiana Profes-sional Chapter of the Society of Professional Jour-nalists (SPJ). The SPJ awards recognize the most outstanding work of the year in Indiana print, broadcast and online journalism. Submissions from Indiana are judged by SPJ members from through-out the United States to maintain impartiality.
In 2011 the DNR Forestry started working with WFYI to produce the hour-long show as part of WFYI’s “Indiana Expeditions” series. The show aired in April 2012.
“It is evident that great preparation and research went into this report,” said SPJ’s announcement of the award. “Wonderful storytelling and very infor-mative.”
The SPJ award is the second fi rst-place award the video has won. Last year, the National Society of American Foresters named Indiana a fi rst-place winner for the video as a “State Society Success Sto-ry” of 2012.
Copies of the DVD can be purchased for $10 with checks made out to “IFEF-PLT” and sent to “Forests At Work” Video, Division of Forestry, 402 W. Wash-ington, Rm. W296, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

“The World Knew – Jan Karski’s Mission for Humanity”
Exhibit to open at the Polish Museum of America, April 26th and run through May 19th
The acclaimed exhibit organized by the Polish government recently on display at the United Na-tions in New York will open in Chicago at the Polish Museum of America on April 26.
“The World Knew” illustrates the dangerous mis-sion that Jan Karski undertook during the Nazi occupation of Poland in World War II to arrest the fates of millions who were being sent to their deaths. At great peril, Karski entered the Warsaw ghetto and one of the so-called Nazi “transit” camps. As an eyewitness to atrocious crimes against human-ity, Karski embarked on a mission to “inform the free world” with the hopes of stopping the ongoing genocide.
The exhibit featured at the PMA is now open through May 19th. For more information, visit www.polishmuseumofamerica.org

FilmAcres Launches Campaign They’ve defi ed the way Hollywood believes mov-
ies should be made.In the process, they’ve rallied a community to-
gether.Now, Oscar-nominated director John Hancock
(“Bang the Drum Slowly,” “Prancer”) and award-winning actress/screenwriter Dorothy Tristan are taking that grass-roots approach global through In-diegogo. They’ve chosen the online “crowdfunding” option to help fi nance their new movie because any-one can contribute, with donations starting as low as $15 and reaching as high as $10,000.
It’s another example, according to Co-Producer Kelly Daisy, of how Hancock and Tristan embody the David-and-Goliath approach to moviemaking.
“This fi lm and its content are not what you fi nd in typical Hollywood blockbusters, but without ques-tion it has an audience,” Daisy said. “It’s the kind of story we desperately seek to add meaning to our lives, to connect us to what’s real and important.”
With shooting set to begin June 21 in La Porte County, South Bend and Southwest Michigan, the untitled movie written by Tristan centers on the relationship between a 13-year-old girl and her grandmother, a once-famous actress living in rural Indiana who may suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. The two bitterly clash, until the grandmother dis-covers her granddaughter has a magnifi cent sing-ing voice, one that helps her score the lead role in a stage production of “Alice in Wonderland.” That triumph bonds grandmother and granddaughter to-gether in ways they never imagined.
Tristan will play the grandmother and Grace Tar-now, a 13-year-old Kesling Middle School student from La Porte, will play the granddaughter. Han-cock will direct.
Daisy chose Indiegogo over Kickstarter because Indiegogo projects, regardless if they reach their goal, take home whatever is raised, with Indiegogo retaining a small percentage to cover its costs. Kick-starter, by comparison, is riskier because projects must reach their goal to use any money raised.
Daisy said the Indiegogo campaign for the movie, which is through Hancock’s independent company FilmAcres, is set at a realistic goal of $25,000; how-ever, she added, surpassing that amount is the in-tention. All money raised funds the movie’s produc-tion costs.
Here’s how it works. Visit www.indiegogo.com, then search for “Untitled John Hancock Film.” Once there, you’ll not only read more about the fi lm, but watch interviews with Hancock, Tristan and Tar-now as they discuss what the movie and its story mean to them. Just visiting the page and leaving comments, by the way, boosts the fi lm’s chance of being highlighted on the Indiegogo homepage.
Each Indiegogo contribution comes with a special thank you gift. A $25 donation, for example, offers

a digital download of the fi lm. A $75 contribution includes a T-shirt and signed poster. A $250 contri-bution features a prop from the fi lm, of which only fi ve are available. For $5,000, contributors attend the movie’s premiere.
The options represent a broad spectrum, leaving the door open for anyone to help fi nance the movie. And in doing so, Daisy said, people can send a mes-sage to Hollywood studios.
“This can pave the way for how fi lms are made. We want to see fi lms we can relate to, that move us, that change how we think and challenge our points of view. That’s why we see movies.”

napkin to the left of your plate. b. j. explained that you could use lemon or cream in your tea but not both. Also, be sure to sip your tea slowly.
Then all guests enjoyed the lemonade and/or tea, the mini cupcakes, the thumbprint cookies, the fresh strawberries and grapes, the s’mores, and the mini apple pies. These mini pies came from Artu-ro’s Bakery. While eating her s’more, Alaina Jeffers lost a bottom fi rst tooth in the marshmallow. Her mother, Becky Jeffers, placed the tooth in a plastic bag so it could be left for the Tooth Fairy.
Sarah Moon distributed plastic bags containing visors and decorations of gems and stars for each girl present. She then explained how they could make their own small crowns from the visors by turning them backwards and gluing the gems, the stars, and other decorations on the front of the vi-sors. All found this craft enjoyable. These crowns
were similar to the crown which Molly, as Miss Victory, wore.
There were a few fi nal words of etiquette before the guests left their tables. The girls were re-minded to thank the person who brought them to today’s tea and perhaps write a thank you note to that person. It was mentioned that the gift shop in a room at Barker Mansion would be open for shopping as would the gift table in the foyer. The afternoon movie about Molly and her life was on schedule for 3:15 p.m. in the basement of Barker Mansion.
This fourth American Girl Doll Tea was another very pleas-ant, exciting afternoon at Barker Mansion!
On Saturday, April 20th, the Fourth Annual American Girl Doll Tea was held at Barker Mansion. This tea hon-ored the doll, Molly, who grew up dur-ing World War II. Sixty-nine people were present, including thirty-seven children. The tea was a sell-out on 3:30 p.m. on the fi rst day that reservations were accepted. Before people were seated, they signed in at the registration desk and shopped at the Gift Shop Table, set up in the foyer of the man-sion.
The drawing room was set up with white tables and chairs and decorated patriotically in red, white, and blue. Each table had a number on a star and guests found their name tags at the table they were assigned to. I was at Table No. 1; also at that same table were two separate groups: the Jeffers from La Porte and the Barnharts and Janet Gourley also from La Porte. This was the fi rst tea for all of my tablemates. Servers brought the beverages and goodies to the tables for our enjoyment. Miranda Brown, a National Honor Society member, helped serve during the afternoon.
Cecilia Zubler, Executiver Di-rector of the mansion, welcomed the guests and explained some of the historical background infor-mation about Molly and World War II in the United States. She mentioned what parts the different Barker Mansion personnel helped with. Ann Jankowski baked many, many thumbprint cookies, fi lling them with apricot or raspberry preserves. Mary Kintzle helped set up the tables and with the various decorations. b. j. Parmley made the Victory dress and an everyday dress for the mannequin, Molly, to wear (not using any pattern to

do so). Sarah Moon was in charge of the afternoon craft and an etiquette lesson was given by b. j. Parmley. All those helping were excited about the event and enjoyed, as always, the preparations necessary to help make it a success!
Jo Ann Finney of Michi-gan City brought her grand-daughters from Lowell. The three had attended last year’s tea also. Dolls belong-ing to the young guests were seated at chairs around the sides of the room. The dolls
wore tags fi lled out by their owners so they could be easily iden-tifi ed at the end of the afternoon.
First came a his-tory lesson about the time of World War II when the United States fought Germany and Japan. Molly was in the fourth grade during this time. Her father was a doctor; he joined the Army and became an Army doctor who was sent
overseas. Her mother went to work, making airplane parts. A housekeeper was hired to be in the home when Molly would return there af-ter school. Her fourth grade had a contest to see who would be the best Miss Vic-tory (singing and tap danc-ing). Molly was fi rst and so she had a Miss Victory dress to wear. However, she be-came sick and could not go to school for the performance. The girl who came in second in the contest performed in her place. As
a surprise, Molly’s fa-ther came home to see her when she was sick.
Next came the eti-quette lesson present-ed by b. j. Parmley. She explained that when you take your seat at a table, you sit on the chair from the right side, but when you get up to leave, you get up from the left side of the chair. If you are leaving briefl y, you place your napkin on your chair. When you leave the table for good, you place your

MCHS MCJROTC Stands Command InspectionThe Michigan City High School
Marine Corps Junior Reserve Offi cer Training Corps (MCJROTC) stood their annual Command Inspection on April 23rd. The Regional Director of MCJROTC Region 3, Lieutenant Colo-nel Dennis Carruth, represented the Commanding General of the Marine Corps’ Training and Education Com-mand.
Cadets were inspected for personal appearance, general military subjects knowledge, and military close order drill. Following the cadet events, the program’s administration and supply were inspected. The MCJROTC has approximately $150,000 worth of uni-forms and equipment for which the two instructors, Major Tom McGrath and Master Sergeant Jeff Benak, are re-sponsible. “The Marine Corps requires strict accountability of all of its gear,”
said McGrath. “We proved to our Regional Director that we have tight control on all USMC items.”Last year, Michigan City earned the Naval Honor School designation, putting the program in the top 20%
of all schools nationwide. There are 228 Marine JROTC programs nationally. The Inspection is one aspect of consideration for the award, and Colonel Carruth stated that Michigan City is still competitive for that award.

Theodore Roosevelt Visits County Park
May 5 • “Meet Theodore Roosevelt” (Gib Young)
Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, was the fi rst President to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the only President to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Theodore Roosevelt was more responsible than any other American for raising the national conscious in regard to conser-vation and preservation of our national resources. Join ‘Teddy’ as he shares stories of the ‘bully time’ he had in the White House building canals and battleships, battling congress and other scoundrels, creating national parks and saving wildlife for gen-erations to come. No man ever had a more active life nor enjoyed it all as much as ‘TR’.
The History Speak Series is presented at the Lake Etta Banquet Hall at Lake Etta County Park from 2 to 4 p.m. Advanced tickets are $5 per per-son per performance. Admission at the door is $7 if tickets are available. Enjoy an afternoon of coffee, tea, punch and cookies following each performance.

Indiana Recognizes 65 “Tree Cities”Sixty-fi ve Hoosier cities and towns have each
been recognized as a Tree City USA by the DNR Division of Forestry for outstanding management of their urban forests. Michigan City and LaPorte have been included in this list. Chesterton, Valpara-iso and South Bend have also been recognized.
Sixteen of the 65 also received the Growth Award, which exemplifi es a higher standard of excellence for urban forestry management.
“In 2012, Indiana’s 65 Tree Cities planted more than 14,500 trees, removed 15,800 (some due to trees lost to the invasive Emerald Ash Borer), and pruned 45,357. These municipalities are to be com-mended for utilizing the urban forest as a tool to enhance economic development, environmental health, and quality of life in their community,” said State Forester John Seifert.
The Tree City USA program has been in existence in Indiana since 1984, when Bloomington met the criteria and became the fi rst Tree City in the state. In 2012, four cities were awarded Tree City USA for the fi rst time — NSA Crane, Hartford, Dana and Batesville
To achieve Tree City USA, communities must draft and pass a public tree care ordinance, des-ignate a municipal department and tree advisory committee, spend at least $2 per capita for the tree care program, and have an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
The communities will be formally recognized by DNR Forestry staff during April and May at Arbor Day ceremonies throughout the state. The National Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters sponsor the program, which now includes 3,447 Tree Cities nationally, 443 of which received the Growth Award.
Indiana lost six Tree Cities this year, many of which held their status since the early ‘90s. A total of 568 cities and towns in the state are eligible.
For more information on urban forestry and how to become a Tree City USA, phone (317) 234-6568 or email [email protected].

Headmaster Michael Kenne-dy commented, “Everything we do at La Lumi-ere School is done with an eye on nurtur-ing leadership skills. From thecurriculum to the environ-ment, the devel-opment of lead-
ers and good followers is fostered. Our leadership program has been designed to empower our com-munity to challenge the student leaders and their councils. The Prefect Program allows the students to take ownership of their high school experience.”
For over 50 years, La Lumi-ere School has produced lead-ers who have taken to heart the School’s motto of “Char-acter – Scholar-ship – Faith,” and those lead-ers are helping to mold the fu-ture in all walks of life.
La Lumiere’s system uses nine leaders called “Prefects.” The Head Prefect oversees the Prefect Board. Each Prefect oversees a council of students committed to a specifi c area of responsibility.

La Lumiere School’s Drama Production“Love, Death and Madness” is a satirical look at
life from four different points of view. Three of the short plays were written by La Lumiere students: “Sessions in Insanity” by Emet Murillo (Junior, La Porte); “Who is the More Foolish?” by Brett Barnard (Senior, Michigan City); and “Death and All Her Friends” by Marina Walinski (Junior, Rolling Prai-rie). The fourth act is an adaptation of “A Midsum-mer Night’s Dream,” Act V by William Shakespeare.
Emet Murillo writes about a psychiatrist with a curious form of therapy. Brett Barnard creates a hospital where no one is really what they appear to be. Marina Walinski sees life on a metaphorical level, where Life, Love and Death are personifi ed onstage. Act V of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” pulls together our evening at the theatre by pre-senting a play within a play. This act pokes fun at relationships and the foibles of young love.
La Lumiere School’s Performing Arts Depart-ment, led by Director Scot Purkeypile, invites the public to two free performances of “Love, Death and Madness: Four Theatrical Acts” on the school’s La Porte campus. An accomplished director and actor, Purkeypile specializes in theatre for young audienc-es. He has directed productions at the South Bend Civic Theatre, Oklahoma Shakespeare Festival and Indiana University.
Performances take place in the Fine Arts Build-ing on Thursday, May 2 at 7 p.m. and Friday, May 3 at 7 p.m. All times are CST. Admission is compli-mentary, donations are welcome.

The Night Ranger by Alex Berenson“Not that Gwen Murphy would tell anyone. She
pushed the idea away as soon as it came. But the refugees were starting to creep her out...Feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, protect the innocent. But the longer she stayed, the less she understood this place.”
Sitting in her comfortable home in America, it was easy for Gwen and her friends to think about going to a third world country and making a differ-ence in the peoples’ lives. It all sounded so roman-tic and altruistic. But after three months in Kenya, Africa, Gwen was beginning to have her doubts as the reality of life in these war-torn countries came crashing down around her.
Gwen had come to Africa with her friends Hai-ley, Scott and Owen. Kenya was overfl owing with Somali refugees fl eeing from drought, war and poli-tics, and who were set upon, stolen from and raped as they made their way across the border to refugee camps in Kenya. Camps were overfl owing and one of the aid stations was run by Scott’s uncle, leader of WorldCares/ChildrenFirst.
The four friends had just graduated from the Uni-versity of Montana and all were ready for a world adventure, a change from the relative quiet of living in Montana. Little did they know what was in store for them...
After twelve weeks of harsh reality, Scott came up with the idea to take a break and go to Lamu, an island a few miles off the Kenyan coast on the In-dian Ocean. “Turquoise-blue water and an old port.”
Scott arranged for Suggs, a Kenyan “fi xer” who worked for WorldsCares, to drive them to the coast where a speedboat would take them to Lamu. You know what they say about the best laid plans...
Several days later, the Land Cruiser the group was in, was found abandoned. Gwen and her friends never made it to the coast...fear was that they had been kidnapped.
And kidnapped they were--hooded, bound and dumped in a hut with no food and water.
It didn’t take long for the press to jump on the story and the world was a-buzz with the story.
Back in the states, John Wells, a former CIA agent, received a phone call from his estranged son, Evan.
He was friends with Gwen’s sister, and calling his fa-ther took a lot for the young man who hadn’t had much contact with his father up to this point. Wells take on the task of look-ing for the miss-ing foursome, even though his years in the CIA hadn’t given him much ex-perience in Africa. Wells never backed away from a chal-lenge, and when he got to Kenya and started his in-vestigation, he began to understand that there was much more to this story than what was on CNN.
Problem was, he was running out of time. Politics on both sides of the ocean were at a high, and the hostages lives could be forfeit if a full scale invasion of Somalia were to happen.
I like John Wells. He’s interesting, three-dimen-sional and presented as a real person which ac-counts for the fact that this is his seventh novel. “John Wells was awfully simple and awfully com-plicated.”
The face of Africa with its refugees, political prob-lems, and the land itself, is realistically portrayed, with no embellishments. The storyline is current, obviously researched, and the plot is realistic. Have I convinced you? I hope so. This is truly great ad-venture writing at its very best!
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said, “Berenson rises above the thriller genre.”
Alex Berenson was a reporter for The New York Times and covered many major national and inter-national events. He has written six previous novels, including The Faithful Spy which won an Edgar Award.
