'Gathering
Blue'
 [NOV.
15, 2000] Kira
lives in a society where she should have been abandoned at birth because of a
deformed leg. This is also a community where age and wisdom are noted by the
number of syllables in your name, such as Matt, Kira, Thomas, Jamison and
Annabella. After Kira’s mother dies, she is homeless because society rules
demand people’s cotts, or homes, be burned after an illness.

National
title dream eludes Angels
[NOV.
15, 2000]
At
one point earlier this season, the Lincoln Christian College women’s
volleyball team had a record of 10-6. It did not appear at that
point that the Angels were going to make a serious bid at another
national title. However, an incredible metamorphosis took place, and
LCC put together an amazing run that resulted in a 30-9 record, a
second-place finish at regionals, an at-large bid to the national
tournament and a trip to have some fun in the sun in Redding,
Calif.! The LCC ladies became a true epitome team with different
stars and leaders showing up on different nights. I met with LCC
coach Kevin Crawford (who the LDN believes is one of the best
small-college coaches of any sport) in my office as he was shaking
off the effects of jet lag.
