Devon Archives and Local Studies Service
On-line Catalogues
To find out whether our repositories hold archives or local studies books and materials which are of interest to you, it is necessary to consult catalogues or other finding aids. Many of the catalogues of collections held in Devon Heritage Centre and the two other record offices in Devon are now available online.

Online Archive Catalogue
This catalogue lists and describes the archival collections at the Devon Heritage Centre and North Devon Record Office. The catalogue includes brief general descriptions of most of the collections (both catalogued and uncatalogued) which have been deposited since 1989. We have also added collection-level descriptions of some of the collections deposited before that date. Although content is being added on a regular basis, it will be some time before complete coverage is achieved. Entries from the former Access to Archives catalogue (also known as A2A - which have now been incorporated into The National Archives' Discovery Catalogue - see below) can also be used to access information about the collections of the two offices. It should be noted that, although our Online Archive Catalogue now duplicates most of the information on the former A2A catalogue site, it also includes details of many collections not covered by it.
Access to Archives Catalogue (now part of Discovery Catalogue)
The Access to Archives project which was funded by the National Lottery fund between 2000 and 2005, resulted in a number of archive catalogues being placed on-line for the first time. The Access to Archives (A2A) on-line database, which was sponsored by the National Archives website, has since 28 October 2014 been incorporated into an upgraded version of The National Archives' Discovery Catalogue. This includes catalogues of archives cared for in hundreds of local record offices and similar institutions across England, as well as documents held in The National Archives itself.
Between 2000 and 2005, the former Devon Record Office (now known as the Devon Heritage Centre) at Exeter was involved in a number of phases of the Access to Archives project, in some cases in conjunction with other record offices in the south-west of England. As a result, Devon Record Office contributed about 40-50% of its catalogues to the Access to Archives database. North Devon Record Office at Barnstaple, and Plymouth and West Devon Record Office at Plymouth, contributed about 90 to 95% of their catalogues during the same period.
A number of specific theme-based projects resulted in the submission of catalogues of Quarter Sessions records, magistrates records, crew lists, the Inland Revenue wills series, railway and hospital records, and the political correspondence of the Addington family (Viscounts Sidmouth).
The first south-west regional phase of the project, completed in March 2002, was named @ the Heart of the Community, and catalogues of ecclesiastical parish collections, schools and educational organisations were submitted. The second phase of the project, completed in December 2003, was named South West Family Fortunes, and involved submission of some catalogues of family, estate, solicitors and business archives. In the third phase, named South West Access All Areas, a large variety of archive catalogues were sent, including those of non-conformist congregations, District Council and additional Borough Council records, some clubs and societies and additional family, estate and business records. This phase was completed in 2005.
The Access to Archives database has not been added to or altered for some years, and has now become part of the Discovery Catalogue, but note that it is gradually being complemented by on-line catalogues developed by the individual record offices, including that at Devon Heritage Centre.
Catalogues contributed to Access to Archives up to 2005 by the former Devon Record Office (now known as the Devon Heritage Centre), Exeter included:
- Parish records
- Non-conformist records
- Educational records, including school and education department records
- Estate Duty Wills, 1812-1857

Information about Plymouth and West Devon Record Office's catalogues
Dartington Hall Trust Archive Catalogue
Most of the archives of the Dartington Hall Trust are now housed at the Devon Heritage Centre. Researchers wishing to access material in this collection should first search the Dartington Hall Trust's online catalogue. This was developed by the former archivist at Dartington Hall, and is still the best finding aid to the collections now held at Devon Heritage Centre.
Local Studies Catalogues
These catalogues include local studies books and other materials held in local studies collections at branch libraries all over Devon, as well as the former Westcountry Studies Library local studies collection, which from October 2012 came under the care of the former Devon Heritage Services (now renamed Devon Archives and Local Studies Service) and which are now held at the Devon Heritage Centre. More information
The local studies catalogues listed below are still used to identify local studies books, newspapers and other materials now held at the Devon Heritage Centre. Location codes and references to the Westcountry Studies Library are gradually being changed as opportunity allows, but it is important at present to realise that those items identified in the catalogues as being in Westcountry Studies Library (location code: WSL) are now all held at the Devon Heritage Centre.

Devon and Cornwall Record Society handlist
The Devon and Cornwall Record Society's collection, formerly held on the mezzanine level at Westcountry Studies Library until 2012, is now all under the care of Devon Archives and Local Studies Service at the Devon Heritage Centre, Sowton, Exeter.
National Register of Archives (now part of Discovery Catalogue)
The National Register of Archives (NRA) is maintained by Historical Manuscripts Commission staff based at the National Archives at Kew. Its on-line database, which was sponsored by the National Archives website, has since 28 October 2014 been incorporated into an upgraded version of The National Archives' Discovery Catalogue. It contains basic information on most known collections of manuscripts and historical records that relate to British history, including personal, family and estate collections, and those of organisations, businesses and other corporate bodies. The on-line register gives a very brief description of the contents and date coverage of these archival holdings and their locations in the United Kingdom and, occasionally, overseas.
Regular additions to the National Register of Archives entries – i.e. now to the Discovery catalogue entries - are made, based on information submitted by record offices and other repositories. Catalogues of collections are sent each year to the National Register of Archives by these repositories. The National Register of Archives currently holds over 44,000 unpublished lists and catalogues. In its annual 'Accessions to Repositories' survey The National Archives also collects information from over two hundred record repositories throughout the British Isles about manuscript deposits received in the previous twelve months. This information is also added to the Discovery Catalogue.
The National Archives has launched the NRA Digitisation Project. The purpose of the project is to digitise 250,000 pages of paper NRA catalogues, and make them available online as .pdf files. The project focuses on repositories which are unable to make their lists available online through any other route.
Other Online Catalogues
Devon newspaper bibliography
This newspaper bibliography was compiled some years ago by former local studies library staff, and has not been updated for some time. It includes historic newspapers previously published in Devon cities and towns, and gives the locations of films and hard copies of these newspapers as they were at the time - wherever they may have been held in England. You will find that most of these local Devon newspapers are held in the British Library Newspaper Library collection, even if copies for some years are also available in Devon local studies collections or libraries. This list is quite out of date now, especially as far as the availability of microfilmed newspapers is concerned, and enquiry should always be made of a holding library before a visit is made. Some local libraries in Devon now only hold filmed newspapers for their area.
Newspapers listed as being held at Exeter PL are now held in the local studies collection at Devon Heritage Centre, Sowton, Exeter.
Devon Libraries Catalogue
Copies of some books on Devon local and family history are held in Exeter Central Library and local libraries around the county, and may be available for borrowing.
The Drake Family of Colyton
The records of the Drake family of Colyton were purchased by the former Devon Record Office with generous support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Friends of Devon's Archives, and the Kent Kingdon Trust. They are now held at the Devon Heritage Centre.
- The catalogue of the main collection (Accession 1700) which was submitted to the former Access to Archives catalogue (also known as A2A) has now been incorporated into The National Archives' Discovery Catalogue.
- View the on-line exhibition of letters and other papers relating to the War of the Spanish Succession and the Napoleonic War.
- There is also an on-line list of additional letters and papers received in 2005.

Health Dept. Addresses New Perception Of HIV, AIDS
The human immunodeficiency virus may not be viewed as the major threat that it once was, but testing is still as important as it ever was.
According to Christine Schuyler, commissioner of human services for the Chautauqua County Health Department, the perception of HIV has changed significantly since it was first discovered in 1981.
"When HIV was first discovered it was considered a major health threat," said Schuyler. "But, right now, it seems to me that the perception is that HIV is no longer a major threat."
More effective means of treatment and prevention have contributed to the change in perception, Schuyler said.
"People are living longer, but HIV itself is a virus, and when you talk about someone being infected you're saying that someone has that virus in their body and that they can pass that virus to other people," said Schuyler. "That virus attacks the body's immune system, so over time, people who are infected with HIV become less able to fight off germs that we're exposed to every day. Many of these germs don't make us sick, but they can be life threatening for someone whose immune system is not up to par."
Because people can live with HIV with no symptoms for up to 10 years, the spread of the virus by people who don't know that they have it is now one of the biggest threats, said Schuyler.
"There is data that shows that as many as one in five people could be infected with the virus and not know it, and the HIV test is the only way to find out if you have HIV," said Schuyler. "In September of 2010, a state law went into effect that states that HIV testing must be offered to everyone between the ages of 13 and 64. That doesn't mean that the test is mandated; it means that offering the test is mandated."
According to Schuyler, 2009 data for Chautauqua County shows that the newly diagnosed case rate was 6.7 per 100,000 people.
"That's well below both state and the national average, and our levels here remain stable," said Schuyler. "It's everywhere, and I'm sure we have many that aren't diagnosed. But, we've changed our emphasis to early HIV diagnosis. So, HIV is no longer the death sentence that it once was."
There are still misconceptions about how the disease is spread. Avoiding risky behavior and abstinence are ways to prevent infection, said Schuyler.
"It is spread through direct contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk, unprotected sex, sharing needles or syringes. Women with HIV can pass it on to their babies during pregnancy. And, people at a higher risk are those who are exposed to blood or body fluids at work such as health care workers," said Schuyler. "It is not spread through saliva, and unfortunately there are people who still think you can get HIV through kissing."
It is also possible to pass HIV through sharing needles during tattooing and body piercing. So, Chautauqua County's Sanitary Code details regulations on tattooing and body piercing that are enforced by the Environmental Health Division, which licenses and certifies artists and operations.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, AIDS, is a late stage of HIV.
"Because of new medicine and treatments that help prevent the progression of the disease, people are able to live longer, healthier lives with HIV or AIDS," said Schuyler. "However, AIDS can have very serious health consequences, can interfere with quality of life and there is no cure. I think we need to remember that it's out there, and that this disease, which was once viewed as being a disease that only homosexuals, promiscuous people or drug addicts were at risk for contracting, is really a risk for everyone. In fact, data shows that heterosexuals are where there has been much more of an increase in newly diagnosed cases."
According to Schuyler, people's next best defense to abstinence is avoiding unprotected sex. Another option is to get tested to ensure one is not carrying the disease and then practicing monogamy.
The Chautauqua County Health Department offers free and confidential sexually transmitted disease and HIV testing by calling 800-604-6789.
"If someone tests positive the physician or organization that administered the test is required to make an appointment for follow-up care so that we can immediately get them into treatment and care," said Schuyler. "The Chautauqua County Health Department contracts with Erie County Medical Center's Immunodeficiency Services Clinic to provide access to high-quality medical treatment, case management services, and support to people living with HIV or AIDS, which is available in our Jamestown and Dunkirk offices."
The Jamestown office is located at 110 E. Fourth St. and can be reached by calling 661-8111. The Dunkirk office is located at the Graf Building, 319 Central Ave. and can be reached by calling 363-3660.
Last year, Evergreen Health Services, formerly AIDS Community Services of WNY, Inc., changed its name to better represent the broad range of health care services offered by the agency.
According to Laurie Matson, director of Southern Tier Services for EHS, the change mostly had to do with an increased need for services related to chronic illnesses. However, the agency still offers HIV and AIDS services including a free, confidential, 10-minute rapid HIV test as well as linking those who test positive with the appropriate level of health care.
"We encourage testing for a couple of reasons, and one is that the best way to prevent the spread of HIV is to know what your own status is," said Matson. "Knowing your status works two-fold: you can take extra precautions to keep people around you safe and the other part is that if you test positive you can receive treatment. People who are in treatment tend to have less of a contagion factor because the whole purpose of treatment is to decrease the amount of virus in your blood. The less virus you have floating around in your body, the less you have to pass on to others."
EHS has been offering the test since 2005, and about half of the people who take the test do so because somebody has told them that it is available and that they've gone through it, Matson said. However, word of mouth has not been effective enough to ensure that everyone gets tested. But, those who have tested positive for HIV at EHS are entered into the comprehensive care coordination program.
"EHS care coordination utilizes a process that includes assessment, advocacy and referral, to assure that individuals are connected to medical care, housing, entitlements, mental health, addiction treatment and other services," said Matson. "We ensure that people are getting the right medical insurance, are getting into the right medical care and any other linkages they may need."
Walk-in testing is available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays, and by appointment Tuesday through Friday. EHS is located at 111 W. Second St. in Jamestown. For more information call 664-7855 or visit evergreenhs.org.
In November, Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc. announced that it received a $130,000 grant to help Chautauqua County residents living with HIV and AIDS to find permanent housing. According to COI's official press release, persons living with HIV and AIDS who live in permanent supportive housing are more likely to manage their health care effectively and therefore reduce overall medical expenses.
Josiah Lamp, deputy director of housing and community development for COI, said that safe and affordable housing for vulnerable persons living with HIV and AIDS is the first step toward the goal of helping them achieve self-sufficiency, which would give them the means to manage their health care needs, improve skills and build assets. The program aims to provide those living with the disease a stable residence and medical home so that individuals can manage their health and live a more productive, quality life.
For more information call the Jamestown office at 661-9430 or the Dunkirk office at 366-8176. Or visit chautauquaopportunities.com.

The Northern Chapter will be hosting it's annual High Country Pathway Fall Fun 50 Epic Ride on September 29th, 2012. The ride will cover approximately 50 miles of awesome singletrack while passing through the heart of elk country. The High Country Pathway (HCP) is one of two trails in Michigan to be handpicked by the International Mountain Bicycling Association as an Epic Ride!
The HCP has a lot of variety, from single plank boardwalks, tight technical sections to fast rolling terrain. There are a few scenic vistas along the way. This is some of the best mountain bike riding you will find in the United States.
This is an endurance ride. The trail can be physically demanding at times and takes a lot of energy to ride. The 50 mile ride typically takes from 6 to 10 hours to complete with an average speed of 5 to 8 miles per hour. This counts time to enjoy the scenery along the way. If this sounds like too much time in the saddle, shorter options are available.
Because of the remoteness of this area, we typically don't offer very much support for the ride. Be sure to outfit to self-support. We do spot a few cars along the route so that you can stash extra food and water along the way, or to be used in an emergency. We don't have an appointed group leader. We usually all start riding at the same time and small groups varying by rider capability form along the way. This seems to work very well.
We will be staying in the group campground at Clear Lake State Park. Located just 9? miles north of Atlanta on M-33, this is an idea place to bring the whole family. There's a large central fire pit with benches, hand pump, and pit toilets. It is just a short walk to the hot showers, real toilets, sandy beach, trails, etc. If you are planning to bring a camper, plan to reserve a campsite in the regular campground. Most of us will be arriving on Friday night.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Buffalo Wild Wings among first to get Game Changer Ale from Redhook
The Columbus Dispatch - July 03, 2013 04:49 PM
Buffalo Wild Wings, which got its start in Columbus three decades ago, will try to improve its beer profit margins by introducing a craft beer in collaboration with a Washington brewer later this month.
Redhook Brewery in Woodinville, Wash., is planning a nationwide debut of its pale ale, called Game Changer Ale, on July 15, including at more than 925 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants.
"Wings and sports go hand-in-hand, and we know there is demand for a good, flavorful draught beer to complement the two," Andy Thomas, president of Redhook owner Craft Brew Alliance, said in a statement.
In its first-quarter earnings conference call, Portland, Ore.-based Craft Brew Alliance said Game Changer is Redhook's first collaboration with Buffalo Wild Wings, which could help the brewer forge a stronger connection with cross-over craft beer drinkers.
"Redhook Game Changer was created for that purpose," Thomas said. "It's an approachable craft beer that's not too heavy or too high in alcohol so people can enjoy drinking it responsibly over the course of a whole game."
Buffalo Wild Wings, based in Minneapolis, which offers more than 50 brands of beer, including 30 craft beers, intends to sell more craft beers, citing favorable price points and growing popularity among consumers, according to Nation's Restaurant News, a trade publication.
"We're all about wings, beer and sports, and we are always looking for new offerings to enhance the guest experience at our restaurants," Kathy Benning, the restaurant chain's executive vice president of global marketing, brand and business development, said in the brewing company's statement.
"Our guests, above all, are sports fans, and they're looking for that social environment to enjoy the game with their friends," Benning said. "We're excited to offer the Game Changer, knowing that it was created with them in mind."

Jennings wins Senate clash
January 20, 2009
Although most of his fellow Democrats wanted to replace Tim Jennings as the state Senate's president pro-tem, the Southern New Mexico conservative held on to his post Monday with the help of Republicans and a handful of Democrats.
The outcome of the leadership struggle, in which the more progressive wing of Senate Democrats had backed Sen. Carlos Cisneros, D-Questa, could make it harder for Gov. Bill Richardson to get his way in the Legislature, where the Senate has been a bottleneck for his initiatives in the past.
With virtually no discussion, all 15 Republicans in the Senate joined with eight Democrats in voting to retain Jennings, a Roswell rancher who has been a state senator for 30 years. Cisneros got 19 votes.
Even though Cisneros has a moderate-to-conservative record in the Senate, a leader of the progressives saw his defeat as a setback for that faction.
"It certainly was," said Sen. Cisco McSorley, D-Albuquerque.
Ortiz y Pino, D-Albquerque, another prominent Senate progressive, agreed. But he wasn't sure that Jennings' election is necessarily a bad omen for progressive causes such as ethics reform, domestic-partnership legislation and ending the death penalty.
"It all depends on committee assignments and committee chairmanships," Ortiz y Pino said. "We'll just have to see how that works out."
Could the retention of a conservative from the southern part of the state spell trouble for bills affecting Santa Fe, such as a proposal for New Mexico Highlands University to take over the financially ailing College of Santa Fe?
"We really won't know until after we find out the committee assignments," said Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe.
The president pro-tem names members of the Committee on Committees, which decides the makeup of committees that play a key role in determining the fate of legislation. The assignments aren't expected to be known until sometime today."There's lots of things that could be affected," Wirth said, "like the changing the state's funding formula for schools, which is very important for Santa Fe."Sen. Phil Griego, D-San Jose, was optimistic Tuesday. "Tim Jennings has been pretty supportive of education. I think he knows that bringing a four-year college under Highlands University will be of great benefit not only to Santa Fe but the whole state of New Mexico."
Democrats who sided with Jennings were Sens. John Arthur Smith of Deming, Linda Lopez of Albuquerque, Linda Lovejoy of Crownpoint, Howie Morales of Silver City, Mary Kay Papen of Las Cruces, and newcomers John Sapien of Corrales and George Munoz of Gallup.
Wirth and fellow Santa Fe Democrat Nancy Rodriguez supported Cisneros, who has been in the Senate since 1985.
Although Gov. Bill Richardson said at a recent news conference that he would not be involved in the Senate leadership fight, the election of Jennings can only be seen as a defeat for the governor, who has clashed publicly with Jennings several times in recent years.
"We're going to see a lot more vigorous battles with the governor," Ortiz y Pino said.
But Lopez, who nominated Jennings, downplayed the tensions between Jennings and Richardson. "I know the governor and Sen. Jennings have had some words in the past," she told reporters Tuesday. But she said the Senate and the governor will "continue to have a dialogue."
Jennings, she said, will "strengthen the role of the Senate."
Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, who voted for Cisneros, also downplayed clashes with the governor. No matter who is president pro-tem, Sanchez said, "We're an independent bunch."
Richardson issued a written statement that said, "I congratulate the newly-elected leaders of the House and Senate. I want to extend a hand of cooperation to the newly-elected Senate President Tim Jennings."
Lopez said Jennings' election shouldn't be seen as a bad development for reform legislation. "I support a progressive agenda," she said, naming domestic partnership rights for same-sex couples as an example. She has voted in the past to repeal the death penalty.
Unlike past leadership battles in the Senate, the Jennings-Cisneros contest showed no evidence of personal animosity. All senators interviewed said they don't expect to see anywhere near the level of rancor experienced in 2001 when Sen. Richard Romero enlisted Republicans to overthrow fellow Albuquerque Democrat Manny Aragon as president pro-tem.
Following the vote, both Jennings and Cisneros spoke to the Senate and called for unity.
"I think that was directed at Democrats," Sanchez told reporters following the vote.
"Tim's not the type who'll punish those who voted against him," Ortiz y Pino said.
Griego, who voted for Cisneros, agreed. "He's not vindictive. He realizes those of us who voted for Sen. Cisneros were voting for the caucus choice."
Jennings angered many Democrats -- including Richardson -- in the last days of the general-election campaigns when he recorded a "robo-call" for then Republican Whip Leonard Lee Rawson of Las Cruces, who was in a tough battle for re-election. Jennings said he thought Rawson's opponent, Steve Fischmann, was unfair in some of his attacks on Rawson. But Democrat Fischmann defeated Rawson despite Jennings' help.
Frishman voted Tuesday for Cisneros. He said after the vote that he tried to lay low in the leadership contest so it wouldn't appear he had a personal grudge.
Jennings won election as Senate president pro-tem last year after the death of his predecessor, Ben Altamirano of Silver City.
At one time, the pro-tem position had been viewed as something of a ceremonial post. Besides naming the Committee on Committees, the pro-tem presides over the Senate, or appoints someone to do so, when the lieutenant governor is absent. Another power is naming some members to certain boards and commissions, including judicial nominating committees.

Marshall boys' track team gets 3rd place in Waconia meet
The Marshall track and field team braved cold and windy conditions Thursday to compete in an invite in Waconia. The Tiger boys brought their full team to the event, while the girls had a split squad, as about 10 of their athletes will be competing at the Howard Wood Relays in Sioux Falls, S.D., today and Saturday.
The Tiger boys finished in third place out of eight teams with 104.5 points. Cambridge-Isanti won with 128 points and Glencoe-Silver Lake was second at 122.
Coming off a strong performance Tuesday in Brookings, S.D., Marshall sophomore Sam Marshall had another good day on the track. He won the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.55 seconds, was fifth in the 100 dash (12.27) and he ran a leg for the Tigers' 4×400 relay team that took third place (3:37.84).
"This was back-to-back meets with successful runs for him," Marshall boys' head coach Mike Jacobs said. "I'm probably more proud of what he did today because of the conditions. It was really cold and windy and the entire straightaway he was running into a finishing headwind. The elements weren't quite as conducive to a good run."
Promise Nkowacha didn't run in Brookings but he didn't skip a beat Thursday. He won the 300 hurdles (33.18), was second in the triple jump with a distance of 40 feet, and he was also part of the 4×400 relay and the 4×200 relay that placed fourth.
Jacobs was also pleased with the performance of Andrew Bell, the lone Tiger boy who will be competing at the Howard Wood Relays this weekend. Bell was second in the 1,600 run, achieving a personal best time of 4:44.75 and also ran in the 4×800 relay and the 4×400 relay.
"You don't see it in some respects because he was locked in the relays, but he had a good meet for us," Jacobs said fo Bell. "He had an excellent 2:08 leg in the 4×800 and came back and ran a personal best in the mile. That was a really good effort. Then he came back and ran the second best quarter that we've had this year in the 4×400 relay. He's a kid who always works hard and it's nice to see him do well.
With a shorthanded team, the Tiger girls placed fifth with a team score of 66. Waconia won with 185 points and was followed by Orono (150), Watertown-Mayer (107) and Glencoe-Silver Lake (79).
"Not a lot of PR's today. I'm not sure if kids are just cold or out of sync, but we'll call it a good practice day for us," Marshall girls' head coach Marie Sample said.
The Tigers' lone win came from Rachel Miller in the 100 hurdles. She finished in 17.65 seconds.
Courtney VanKeulen added a second-place finish in the high jump with a leap of 4-8. It was her first time competing with the team this year.
"I've been trying to get her out all season long, and she's been practicing with us around her work schedule," Sample said. "She took second for us in the high jump with a 4-foot-8 jump, which was really nice."
Following the Howard Wood Relays, the Tigers' next competition is scheduled for Thursday in Worthington.

Grandmother arraigned on felony charge in custody case
MARQUETTE – A grandmother who police said was involved in the kidnapping of her granddaughter was arraigned Monday.
Robin Gay Eggers, 58, was charged with children-unlawful retention by a parent, a felony, in 96th District Court in Marquette Monday. Eggers and her son Jesse Wiggin were court ordered to return the 3-year-old girl to her mother by 6 p.m. Dec. 29 but, when the child was not turned over, she was reported missing, said Forsyth Township Police Chief Tim Rector.
Warrants were issued on Jan. 2 for Eggers and Wiggin for kidnapping-custodial interference, a felony. Eggers was arrested Friday afternoon at the Michigan Department of Human Services in Escanaba by Delta County Sheriff's deputies. She was then transported to Marquette County Jail. The child was found with Eggers in Escanaba.
According to Rector, the Escanaba DHS kept the child and was to make arrangements with her mother to get her.
Wiggin, 25, was arrested Friday morning by Marquette County Sheriff's deputies at the courthouse when he arrived at the DHS for a hearing, Rector said. Wiggin was arraigned Friday, also on a felony charge of children-unlawful retention by a parent.
Both Eggers and Wiggin are scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary examination on Jan. 18.

View from the Top
August 8, 1938 was one of those hot Elko days that encourages a bit of dozing on the job. Desk Clerk William Duncan at the Commercial Hotel sleepily looked up to greet an arriving guest. His eyes bulged awake when he saw the young 20-year-old man standing at the desk to check to check in for the night.
Robert Wadlow signed the register as a crowd gathered to take a look
at the stranger. All were amazed. Duncan asked if he could have his picture
snapped with Wadlow and the amiable youngster agreed.
Robert Wadlow stayed in Elko for only one night but he left with memories of a hotel with a friendly staff that didn't bat an eye when confronted for accommodations for the world's tallest man.
During the trip when he stopped in Elko, he and his father were visiting 800 towns in 41 states for the shoe company. His dad removed the front passenger seat so Robert could sit in the back seat and stretch out his long legs.
In kindergarten he was 5'6'' tall, wearing clothing that would fit a 17-year-old boy. In 1929 he had his first medical checkup where the family was told that the boy had an over active pituitary gland. Too late for Robert, medical science today can compensate for the problem. In 1931 he was the largest Boy Scout in the world at 7'4" weighing 270 pounds. The "Gentle Giant" died July 15, 1940.

KYL plans system upgrades
At the Tuesday meeting of the Kendall Young Library board of trustees, board members discussed the closing of the library for one day in order to upgrade their online library system and give staff members additional training.
Much of the work will be done over the weekend, but library director Angie Martin-Schwarze said the new system could take the rest of the week to be rolled out. She said people might need to be patient with the library's online systems as they work out the kinks.
"It should not look all that different to us as we go to use it, and hopefully the changes we are going to be the ones that we asked for that we think will make it better for us," Martin-Schwarze said.
Staff training will mostly focus not on the new system, but on new circulation rules at the library. Library patrons will now check out items for three weeks instead of four, and they will be able to renew that item if no one has registered on a waiting list for that item. Martin-Schwarze said that these new circulation rules will be included in print with all checked-out items after the change.
Director's report
During the meeting, Martin-Schwarze reviewed several events that the library hosted in January. Just over 20 people attended a showing of the film "Hope Springs" at the library. The film is part of the monthly film showing series at the library. Also, seven people attended the showing of the film "Suze Orman's Money Class," which was shown in preparation for the library's Smart Investing at Your Library online class.
At the kickoff for the investing program, 27 people attended and 10 people signed up for the class that were unable to attend. The class is still open to interested persons, as the class is offered online through ISU extension. Martin-Schwarze said the class offers a lot of good information for those wishing to learn more about investing.
At least 100 people attended the library's Festival of Chocolate, sponsored by the Friends of the Library. That was after the festival was postponed one week due to inclement weather. Martin-Schwarze said that the event was successful.
"The food was delicious, the place looked lovely and the music was delightful too. It's going to be something we revisit," Martin-Schwarze said.
She also thanked the five FFA members who assisted with setting up and cleaning up the festival.
Other business
The board approved the 2013 library budget. An amendment was made to the budget after an error was noted. It was approved unanimously with no change in the total.
The library is looking for a part-time groundskeeper. Board members will seek a person to fill the position, which will take from five to 10 hours per week from April to October.
Surveys for the library will continue to be accepted through Feb. 22. Martin-Schwarze said that over 300 surveys have been returned.

Flu hits New Ulm
NEW ULM – Influenza is keeping local medical practitioners busy, according to Dr. Joan Krikava, chief of Medical Staff at the New Ulm Medical Center.
The hospital and clinic reported 50 positive cases of influenza in December, Krikava said Thursday. The clinic has stopped testing people who come there with flu-like symptoms, just assuming it is the flu. Emergency room and hospital cases, however, are still tested.
"We have six patients in the hospital who have tested positive for influenza," said Krikava. "For a town our size, that's a lot. We have had 100 extra patients coming to the clinic every day for the past week, and our walk-in clinic in the evening is the same, about half again as many visitors, all with flu-like symptoms."
Sore throats, headaches and fevers are the most common symptoms of the flu, said Krikava. The disease hits hardest those patients who have chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, the elderly and the very young, said Krikava.
The best defense against influenza is a flu shot, said Krikava.
"This year's vaccine is actually a very good match for the A and B flu strains that are making the rounds," said Krikava. Vaccine manufacturers try to anticipate which type of flu will be most prevalent, and the vaccine will protect against six to eight different strains, she said.
It is still possible to get the flu, even with a flu shot.
"The vaccine is not 100 percent protective," said Krikava, "but a flu shot gives you a much better chance of avoiding the flu. If you don't get a shot, you have no protection."
Flu shots are still available at New Ulm Medical Center, and at area pharmacies.
The flu season typically peaks in February, said Krikava. "If this is an early peak, it could die down in three weeks or so. But if it is the beginning of something bigger, this could go on through January and into February."
New Ulm schools are not seeing a great deal of absences in the few days since school started up this week.
"We saw more absences before the holiday," said Scott Hogen, Buildings and Grounds Supervisor for District 88. "The Friday before the holidays we had enough absences at Jefferson Elementary that it triggered a report to the Minnesota Department of Health. But since school started up again we've had seven to 10 kids calling in sick each day."
Schools must report their absences if the absentee rate reaches 5 percent, or if three or more students in the same classroom are sick, Hogen said.
Kim Giesen, the school nurse with New Ulm Area Catholic Schools, said the number of students with confirmed flu diagnoses triggered a report on Dec. 11 for St. Anthony's Elementary. The number of absences has come down since then, but there are still confirmed cases of flu or flu-like symptoms in the elementary school and at Cathedral High School.
