LANCASTER TWP — The state police fire marshal is investigating a blaze this morning that destroyed a large pole building housing offices and equipment for a family-owned home building and remodeling business.
No one was injured but damage in the fire at Kelly Construction Co. likely will hit or exceed $200,000, said Chief Neal Nanna of the Harmony Volunteer Fire Company.
"Everything is gone. Everything is a total loss," Nanna said of the 45-foot-by-90-foot building and its contents.
Among the property up in flames was a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado, motorcycle parts, machinery, plywood, table saws and power saws. But mainly tools.
"It was crammed full of tools," said owner Ken Kelly.
He said the tools were primarily used to make cabinets, bookcases and home entertainment centers as part of his 35-year-old business.
The property is insured, said Kelly, who vowed to replace the building, which was constructed about 30 years ago.
"We built that before we built our house," he said.
Kelly said the fire would not hamper his business, which has three employees two of which are his sons.

Gentle readers, today's article is about the many genealogical or personal ties to the history of Haller's Army. The focus is on what the genealogist may want to pursue to flesh out his/her family tree.
The era was World War I (1914-1918) and the world was mad with war and carnage and pestilence. There were 16.5 million deaths and 21 million wounded making it the 6th deadliest conflict (or possibly 2nd/3rd worse if you include the Flu Pandemic deaths). [See: this cheery web page on the estimate of Wars, Pandemics, Disasters, and Genocides that caused the greatest number of deaths.] Out of this madness, was an army of diaspora Poles formed, of which over 25,0001
came from the US via a US sanctioned formation of a foreign force, which had to be constituted in Canada due to USA fears and its isolationist policies that limited President Wilson.
These brave 25,000 men were added to another contingent of 35,000 Polish men formed largely from prisoners of war from the German and Austria-Hungarian armies inside France, who were now willing to fight against Central Powers as a part of the Allied/Central Powers. They fought bravely in World War I, before the USA entered the war and for nearly four more years (1918-1922) after World War I officially ended in the Polish-Bolshevik War (aka Polish-Soviet War).
More Background can be found here (Haller's Army website) or at the wiki page (Blue Army).
Registration Centers
The recruitment centers were in the Polish Falcons centers. The Polish Falcons were called the Związek Sokołów Polskich w Ameryce (ZSP) and this is what you will find on Haller's Army enlistment forms. The Polish Falcons still exist and are headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. There are reportedly 115 Polish Falcon Nests across 15 states. Each Nest has its own history that it maintains.
PGSA Database
The Polish Genealogical Society of America (PGSA.org) maintains a database of the Haller's Army registrations that can be searched for your ancestor(s). It is free to search and there is a modest charge to get a copy of the actual documents. The search page is here: (http://www.pgsa.org/haller.php) . These documents are archived by the Polish Museum of America in Chicago. This data is also on LDS Microfilm by region see this page for details .
There are three types of forms. These forms are in Polish. You need not worry about that as the PGSA offers example forms in English (FormA | FormC) in PDF format. On the forms you find the following info:
- Form A is an intention to volunteer and contains the name, address, age, and marital status.
- Form B is a medical examination report for the volunteer.
- Form C is the final commitment paper. It includes date and place of birth and usually the name and address of a parent or other close relative. The Form's family notes include close family in USA and in Poland.
Returning Soldiers
The Allies issued medals to their victorious soldiers so you may have in your family heirlooms one of these. This website has an index of the various medals (with images). Many of the websites whose links are in this article also have pictures of men in uniforms — which included their distinctive hats.
We tend to think the soldiers were all Polish men and that these men were Catholics, but our Polish-Jewish brethren also served in Haller's Army. This page from Polish Roots is about the Jewish soldiers who served and provides a table of many of the men known to be Jewish.
The ship manifests in Ellis Island record the return Haller's Army soldiers, who returned en masse. You can see the soldiers who are listed on pages together with a note on the bottom, "Reservists". That notation should eliminate any confusion with other possible passengers/crew members. The soldiers returning from the European theater are known to have arrived via Ellis Island on the following ships:
- SS Antigone (from Danzig – April 18, 1920)
- SS Princess Matoika (from Danzig – May 23, 1920)
- SS Pocahontas (from Danzig – June 16, 1920)
- SAT Mercury (US Army Transport), from Danzig, June 16, 1920 / arrived in New York, June 28 1920
- SS President Grant (from Danzig) – February 16, 1921
- SS Latvia – August 17, 1922
Links to the Ship Manifests

Returning passage – Payment of passage was split between the Polish and United States Governments. [see column 16] on ship manifest. It appears some soldiers returned with wives and children too [so those numbers above are not all soldiers].
One more connection. Similar to the VFW for US veterans, there is a Polish-American organization in NYC called POLISH ARMY VETERANS ASSOCIATION2
They (PAVA or SWAP) have genealogical data from their membership forms. According to Dr Valasek, the membership application for the association has the usual, date, place of birth, current address, and occupation; It also had something most descendants of Hallerczycy desperately want to know: the unit in which the man fought, and his rank upon leaving the army. There is also the identification of which post the soldier joined. Each post has its own history, as well as photos, banquet books, anniversary booklets, etc. All valuable adjuncts to your research once you identify the correct post, (or, as it's known in Polish, placówka). There is also a question on the form, Do jakich organizacji należy? , to what organizations does he belong. More avenues for research.
Fallen Soldiers
In any war, there are casualties. Haller's Army is no different. Stanczyk likes this Polish Genealogical Society (http://genealodzy.pl/name-Straty.phtml) named aptly, The Polish Genealogical Society. They have many databases, but they have search front-ends for two related to Haller's Army. The one from the link above is for: List of Casualties of the Polish Army, killed in action or died from wounds from the years 1918-1920.
With this link I was finally able to determine that one of my ancestors who was in America up through the 1910 census, but was missing from the 1920/1930 censuses, whom I had previously thought had returned to Poland — had really died while serving in Haller's Army. I found his Haller's Army Forms at PGSA and then from this Polish website I found a scanned image of a Polish book listing his name, date/place of death.
Soldier Benefits
Some soldiers who came to America who served in Haller's Army, earned benefits from the new Polish nation. I have seen land grants awarded (not to my ancestors). They often had to be contacted through the Polish Consulates in America. This leads to my final recommendation — using Historical Polish Language Newspapers from that era to find out about your soldier. The newspaper may write about the returning units in a story and possibly a picture. I have also seen that the Polish Consulate took out listings in the newspaper and referred to Haller's Army veterans they were seeking to inform them of their veteran benefits. See my Dziennik Polski (Detroit) page at the top menu-tabs for an example what these Polish Consulate ads might look like.
Let me finish today's article by mentioning Dr. Paul S. Valasek's book on the subject matter: Haller's Polish Army in France http://www.amazon.com/Hallers-Polish-Army-France-Valasek/dp/0977975703 and also another book entitled: Remembrance http://www.hallersarmy.com/store/Remembrance.php. written by Charles Casimer Krawczyk.

A complaint filed Friday by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights is asking the federal government to step in and prohibit the use of American Indian mascots and imagery in K-12 schools across the state.
The department filed the complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. The complaint cites 35 Michigan K-12 school districts — including Clinton and Tecumseh — responsible for "alleged discrimination."
The schools are known as the Clinton Redskins and the Tecumseh Indians.
The complaint says research now shows the use of those mascots and imagery causes "actual harm" to American Indian students by lowering self-esteem and impacting student achievement.
According to an email sent by the state to Clinton and Tecumseh school officials, the districts are among those named because they are "currently using such imagery and, as such, would be impacted by any action OCR might take."
Leslee Fritz, spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, said Friday a study conducted by its legal team shows "there is now substantial amounts of evidence that American Indian imagery use and continued use is harming students and therefore in violation of federal law."
Fritz said the complaint does not mean the school districts named are deliberately committing wrongdoing.
"We are not accusing any school district of inappropriate intent or behavior," she said. "We are hopeful the more school districts study the evidence that is growing, that they will agree to change their imagery."
The complaint only includes K-12 schools at this time, Fritz said, and not colleges and universities using similar imagery.
"K-12 is where the impact is more acute," she said.
Clinton Community Schools Superintendent David Pray said Friday the district is conferring with its attorney on the complaint and declined comment.
Tecumseh Public Schools Superintendent Mike McAran said the school district has always worked to ensure its mascot is an appropriate tribute to the Native American culture.
"About 15 years ago, we worked to put the correct features on our mascot and adjusted the feathers, got rid of the hatchet, to come to an agreement at that time," McAran said.
In November, a statue of Shawnee warrior and leader Tecumseh was dedicated in front of Tecumseh Middle School. Members of the Leh Nah Weh Native American Organization conducted the ceremony.
"Tecumseh is a tribute to the Native American culture," McAran said. "Our town is named for Tecumseh, and we have Indian names on our street signs. The community has always been satisfied with our representation."
A telephone message left for Leh Nah Weh President Abel Cooper Friday was not immediately returned.
Other nearby school districts named in the complaint are Camden-Frontier in Hillsdale County and Grass Lake in Jackson County.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A muscle strain is an injury that damages the internal structure of the muscle. It may be small, or severe enough to cause internal bleeding and lengthening of muscle fibers. If the damaged parts of the muscle pull away from each other, it is called a muscle rupture.
A muscle strain is caused by tension or stress applied to the muscle that it cannot withstand. There are several ways that this can happen:
- Muscle may not be ready for sudden stress
- Tension may be too much for the muscle to bear, such as lifting a weight that is too heavy for you
- Muscle is used too much on a certain day
Certain areas have muscles that are more likely to be strained than others, including:
- Hamstrings
- Groin
- Back
- Calf
Muscles that cross 2 joints are at the greatest risk.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chances of getting a muscle strain include:
- Athletic activities, especially those with running, lifting, and jumping
- Tight muscles
- Fatigue
- Overexertion
- Cold weather
Symptoms depend on how you strained the muscle.
Strain While Performing an Athletic or Physical Activity
You feel immediate soreness or pain in the affected muscle. If you try to use that muscle, it hurts even more. The area becomes tender and swollen. In the most severe cases, there may be a skin bruise because of bleeding underneath. Moving the nearby joints causes pain. Running and lifting are common activities that cause this type of muscle strain.
Strain from a Build Up of Stress
When you do an activity that your body is not used to doing, the muscles are not in shape for that kind of activity. You may not feel pain during the activity, but the next day a muscle or set of muscles may be very sore. The muscle will be tender, and using it causes pain or discomfort.
You will be asked about your symptoms, your recent physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined for:
- Tenderness directly over the muscle
- Pain when contracting the muscle, particularly against resistance
- Pain when stretching the affected muscle
Images may be taken of structures inside your body. This can be done with:
Treatment depends on the severity of the strain and the muscle involved.
Acute Care
The muscle will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on the affected area. In general:
- Avoid activities that cause pain.
- Walk using a shorter stride.
- Avoid playing sports.
Ice may help decrease swelling and pain in the first few days after the injury.
Pain medications may be advised. These may include:
- Over-the-counter medication, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen
- Topical pain medication—creams or patches that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
Compression can help prevent more swelling. This can be done by wrapping an elastic compression bandage around the affected muscle.
Keeping the affected muscle higher than the heart can help reduce swelling.
Recovery Steps
Rehabilitation with a physical therapist may be required.
When returning to physical activity, heat may be used before stretching or getting ready to play sports to help loosen the muscle.
Begin stretching exercises for your muscles as recommended.
To reduce your chance of straining a muscle:
- Keep your muscles strong so they can absorb the energy of sudden stressful activities.
- After a short warm-up period, stretch out tight muscles, especially previously injured ones.
- Learn the proper technique for athletic activities to decrease muscle stress.
- Stop when you are tired. Tired muscles do not function well. They do not react properly to sudden stress.

text: Submitted by Jim Mathis The Dr. Rabe Tennis Club of Leavenworth recently lost its longtime President, Ethan Potter. Potter was the last surviving member of the original Rabe tennis group that started playing tennis in 1954 at the Leavenworth Country Club. Some of the original members were Dr. Melvin Rabe, J.V. Oliver, Dr. Ralph Atchison, Spike Meyer, R.B. Whitaker, Don Spratt, and Jimmy Snyder. In the mid 60s, Dr. Rabe purchased a house on South Broadway and built a tennis court in the back yard. These players continued to meet three times a week to play tennis on this new court. In the mid 80s, the group moved out to the courts in David Brewer Park where more courts were available and more players started playing. Mr. Potter continued to play up to age 78 when he had a knee replacement. Potter continued to come out to the courts with a new joke or story to pass on with the players. He would watch from the sideline and he did this up to within a few days of his death. Potter was a true tennis ambassador for Leavenworth. Potter played in tournaments and won tournaments in Lawrence, St. Joseph, Kansas City and at the Barrybrooke Racquet Club. Potter was known for his sharp play, knowing when to lob and when to drop shot his opponent. He was also a very fair player and always a gentleman on the court. In the first official city tennis championships, Potter, at over 50 years of age, was part of the winning men's open doubles team. He also won the 40 and over singles title a couple of years. Potter started a tradition 10 years ago at the Leavenworth Labor Day Open of passing out old pennies dated around 1900 to the tennis entries. Potter also helped pay for some tennis lesson so some Leavenworth High School players could receive professional instruction at the Barrybrooke Racquet Club. One year he paid for a quick resurfacing job of the tennis courts before the annual Labor Day tennis tournament. Ethan is going to be missed by not only the local tennis players, but by many people in the city of Leavenworth. Everyone who knew Potter had a great respect for this wonderful man. Submitted by Mike Carmey No matter where I have traveled in this country, I have always noticed, especially at breakfast, a group of men huddled around a table in heated discussions about everything under the sun. It seems to be a norm almost anywhere. Leavenworth is no different. I have been involved in just one of those "clubs" for many years. Our particular group has jumped from the Corner Drug Store to the Santa Fe Diner over the past decades. I think the gatherings may have even started at the old Cody Hotel Coffee Shop. The participants have been many, some have moved away and some have passed on. Just last week, the Patriarch of our club, Ethan Potter, passed on to join his loved ones and of course those from our group. Ethan was, as many know, a long time lawyer in the community and served in many capacities. But I knew him best as the first one to sit at our reserved table and usually the last one to leave. What I enjoyed most about Ethan, especially after his retirement, was his wit and unassuming personality. Those in the community who only had experiences as his adversary in divorce proceedings did not have the good fortune to know them an personally. In fact, the first time I encountered "Mr. Potter" was in municipal court as a teenager. My attorney pleaded my case, but to no avail. And at that moment, I learned a lesson that I passed on to my children. Quite simply, when you do something dumb, in my case by breaking the law, then there would be consequences. This should be enough motivation for any prudent person to realize the consequences of their actions. Even at age 93, Ethan remembered my fateful day in his court. And over the years, it was his grand memory of things and his revelations of such incidents that made the trip for coffee a thing to cherish. Mr. Potter was a walking history book, from his beginning in Peabody, Kan. until his untimely demise here in Leavenworth. I especially enjoyed his stories of being in the service during WWII and his growing up during the Great Depression. In our many discussions, he would normally let people "make their case" and would intervene in a timely matter to set us straight. Local and national politics would always seem to creep into the mix as well as sporting events. Fortunately, religion never became an issue and that was fine with all of those in attendance. Ethan had a suitcase of corny jokes, but a trunk full of grand memories and experiences that enthralled us all. He was truly the cornerstone of our "group therapy" and will be greatly missed by us all: Mike C, Mike W, George, Kirby, Lundy, Lloyd, Bill, John and many others.

His first half QBR must have been horrible. I kinda agree with this though, that fumble return TD and his other fumble....... He might as well have tossed INT's.

Hudson gets another shutout in 1-0 Lady Bulldog victory.
Freshman keeper Katie Hudson hurled another shutout for the Rolla High School girls' soccer team Thursday night.
Hudson blanked the Camdenton Lady Lakers to lift the Lady Bulldogs to a chilly, 1-0 Ozark Conference victory on Thursday. It was Hudson's eighth shutout in her last 10 games.
It was also the 11th straight win for Rolla, ranked No. 6 in the latest Missouri Class 2 state poll. The Lady Bulldogs improve to 12-1 overall and 6-0 in the conference.
Junior Aysen Malone scored the lone goal for Rolla, assisted by junior Nicole Howard.
"It was a nice win for us," said RHS head coach Mike Howard. "Camdenton is always well-prepared to play and they have one of the top players in the state in Whitney Snow. It keeps us on the right track in conference but more important we are able to go on the road twice this week and win both games in very difficult places to play."
On Tuesday Rolla won at Waynesville 2-1.
Thursday's junior varsity game ended in a scoreless tie. Sam Turner was in goal for the jayvee Lady Bulldogs.
The Lady Bulldogs are scheduled to host Visitation Academy at 1:30 p.m. Saturday on Kiwanis Field at the Bray Sports Complex.

Last month was not particularly cold on average in La Plata County, despite what seemed to be a lot of teeth-chattering mornings and evenings.
Data from the National Climactic Data Center show December average highs and lows from 2005-12 with the exception of 2009 fell into a relatively close range.
The average December highs during the period ranged from 35.4 to 42.8. The average lows ranged from 11.3 to 22.2, and the overall average temperature from 24.1 to 32.5.
In December 2012, the average high was 37.6, the average low 14.1 and the overall average 25.8. The month had one day when the temperature hit zero and five days of below-zero temperatures: minus 5, minus 7, minus 8, minus 10 and minus 14.
In 2009, the exceptional year, the average high was 30.7, the average low was 2.8 and the overall average was 16.8. The month had one day when the mercury reached zero and 14 sub-zero days: minus 1 (three times), minus 2, minus 3, minus 7 (twice), minus 9, minus 11 (twice), minus 12, minus 13, minus 15 and minus 19.
All readings were taken at the Durango-La Plata County Airport, and all are measured in degrees Fahrenheit.
In Durango, the low temperatures were two days at zero and two days of minus 3 degrees. Otherwise, there were 15 days with temperatures in the 20s and six days with the mercury in the teens. There also were days with lows of 4, 7 (twice), 8, 9 and 10.
However, on Dec. 20, the low of minus 3 came within one degree of the all-time low for the date.
Joe Ramey, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Grand Junction said several factors govern differences in temperatures in communities relatively close to each other.
Elevation is particularly important, especially as regards the minimum temperature, Ramey said. The time of year, snow cover and the direction a slope faces are factors, he said.
The state, as a whole, was warmer than usual in 2012, but not as warm as the six states New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and Utah that border Colorado, the annual National Climatic Data Center report released Tuesday showed.
Colorado was much above normal, report said, but the six bordering states, and about 10 others, recorded record warmth.
The climbing temperatures resulted in the warmest year in the contiguous United States since 1895. The average annual temperature was 55.3 degrees, 3.3 degrees about the 20th-century average.
The average national temperature was 1 degree above the previous high, recorded in 1998. Its a startling increase, Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at the National Climactic Data Center, said in a telephone conference call with reporters.
Given that the difference between the average annual high temperature of 50.1 in 1917 and the average high of 54.3 in 1998 was only 4 degrees, the 1 degree by which 2012 exceeded 1998 is a big step, Crouch said.
Its not clear what roles global warming and local variability played in the increasing temperatures, Crouch said.
The National Climactic Data Center report also said:
Drought continues to plague the Midwest and Mountain West.
A below-average snowpack was observed in much of the West.
Wildfires burned 9.2 million acres nationwide, including 39,000 acres in the San Juan National Forest, in 2012.

CORTEZ The 53-year-old Dolores man accused of starting the Roatcap Fire near Dolores last fall pleaded not guilty Thursday in Montezuma District Court.
Roger Stratton, who did not speak at his arraignment, is charged with fourth-degree arson, which is a felony.
Stratton, who is out of jail on a $3,000 bail, through his attorney waived the formal reading and advisement of the charges.
Amy Smith, Strattons public defender, asked District Court Judge Todd Plewe for more time because of the number of witnesses she needs to interview.
She also said she may need to obtain expert testimony for the trial.
Plewe said because of the number of witnesses, which could be in the dozens, there could be difficulty in seating a jury.
He said the court will need a list of potential witnesses, so jury candidates can be asked in questionnaires if they know anyone who was affected by the Roatcap Fire.
Plewe set the jury trial for June 3 and scheduled a motions hearing for 9 a.m. March 22 with all motions to be filed 20 days before the hearing.
Plewe also set a Feb. 21 deadline for the District Attorneys Office to provide the names and addresses of witnesses in the discovery process.
Deputy District Attorney Tom Farrell is the lead prosecutor in the case.
The fire, which started around 10:30 a.m. Oct. 24 near County Roads 29 and P, burned more than 400 acres and forced the evacuation of about 30 homes.
The Montezuma County Sheriffs Office said the fire was not set intentionally, but said that Stratton needed to be held accountable for his careless actions.
Stratton allegedly was burning leaves on his property when the wind caused the fire to spread out of control.

Western Michigan the choice for Sturgis QB
Chance Stewart fell in love with Western Michigan University.
The highly touted quarterback prospect stepped foot on many campuses during his recruitment, yet the Bronco campus was the right fit for him.
On Thursday, Stewart confirmed to the Sturgis Journal that he has verbally committed to Western Michigan University.
"It just was a perfect fit," Stewart said. "I enjoy every thing about Western Michigan and now knowing my family and friends will be able to see me play close by made it even better."
Stewart had originally committed to play for Bret Bielema and the Wisconsin Badgers last August. Yet, Bielema bolted Madison and the Badgers to be the new head coach at the University of Arkansas in early December.
Stewart said he was still fully behind his decision to play a Wisconsin when Bielema left, but just a few months later he made the decision to open his recruitment back up again.
He attended Western's practice this morning and didn't wait long to make the news. Stewart said the original plan was to wait until mid-May or so before deciding, but he really didn't want to wait any longer.
"Lately I've been thinking a lot about it and just knew that Western was the place for me," he said. "I just didn't want to waste any other coaches' time by visiting (other schools) if I already knew Western was it."
Playing close to home will be fun, Stewart said, but it wasn't the biggest reason he chose Western.
"It wasn't a huge part of it, but yes it is nice knowing my family will be able to make every home game," he said.
Stewart, one of a handful of commits for Western's 2014 class according to several recruiting websites, is the highest ranked player to commit to the Broncos. He holds a Rivals250 ranking as one of the best 250 players in the country (ranked No. 215) and Western has not been able to get a player of that caliber in the Rivals.com era.
Yet, Stewart had the perfect response when asked what that label meant to him.
"Ha, that's only a number," he said. "Yeah, it's cool to know, but you have to perform now."
Stewart will lead the Trojans onto the football field again this fall looking to get to the playoffs for the second time in four seasons.
The junior third baseman for the baseball team said he was happy to have made a decision much earlier than expected.
"Yes, a huge relief," he said in response to the decision being made public. "I'm glad it's over and now I get to concentrate on baseball and preparing for my senior year of football."
Western football coach P.J. Fleck is the youngest head coach in Division I football and became the first coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) to have been born in the 1980s.
Stewart said Fleck played a major role in picking the Broncos.
"Coach Fleck was a huge part of it," he said. "The passion for football and work ethic he has is incredible. When you know your coach will bust his butt that hard it's an easy decision for you."

The Carmi Public Library is heading into 2013 with a lot to look forward to. The board has accrued a small surplus to keep the organization fiscally healthy and the organization will add a new circulation system, bringing the library up to date with the latest technology.
The Carmi Public Library is heading into 2013 with a lot to look forward to. The board has accrued a small surplus to keep the organization fiscally healthy and the organization will add a new circulation system, bringing the library up to date with the latest technology.
The Illinois Heartland Library System is set to launch April 9. As a result, the library staff will attend several workshops leading up to the switch to the new system. The first seminar is set for Wednesday, Jan. 16 and Library Director Stephanie Dennis explained the first one would require attendance from the entire staff.
"We will try to stagger the workshops with the staff, but for the first one, we have been told that all staff members should attend," said Dennis. "Since the workshop begins at 4 p.m., we will probably close early that day at around 2:30 p.m."
Dennis did note the library would post in advance the date and time the library would close. She also reported to the board that circulation was down slightly in December, but said some of the decline was attributed to the weather at the end of the year. She did note they still had a lot of traffic on the computers.
A total of $1,170.94 was spent on books and audios for the month of December, which included two shipments. Overall, Dennis noted it was a very quiet month and only missed one day and three hours of operation due to the snow.
Dennis also gave an update from Friends of the Library. She noted the staff has asked the organization to purchase a paper cutter for the office, and they have agreed to the purchase. Friends of the Library and the library staff are working together to become more cohesive for 2013. Dennis has provided the group with a calendar for the entire year so that organization of volunteers and events will be better prepared. She noted there is a Volunteer Meeting, open to everyone who is interested in assisting the library in 2013 and is not limited to members of Friends of the Library. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14. The hope is to provide an activity or event each month at the library.
In other board business, President Andy Acord asked for nominations for officers for the 2013 year. A motion was made to retain the current officer slate, which was passed unanimously by the board. Acord will serve his second term as president of the board with Denton Aud remaining in the vice president role for a second year. Sharon Whitsitt will serve a second term as secretary and longtime treasurer, Lloyd Stills, remains in that capacity. It was noted that most officers keep their roles for two terms before changes are made.
Stills reported the library came in under budget for 2012 and will have a little carryover for 2013. He said they are still getting two percent return on their investments and the money market is available anytime if needed, added a bit of security for unexpected expenses or needs. Stills also noted there is money set aside to handle the cost of approximately $3,500 for computers that will be needed once the new library circulation system, Polaris, is put into place in April.
Also, Stills and Board Member Ralph Anselment are going to add some shelving to the back room of the basement, which will accommodate some storage.
Dennis also told the board the young adult books were relocated to the north wall due to theft from the area. The section is now visible from the front desk and she is hopeful this will prevent future books from being taken from the library without following proper procedures.

More and more October has become defined by Halloween. It permeates through the month and has become everyone's favorite non-holiday, holiday. So to help get you in the mood, here's a list of ten horror movies to put you in the festive, and frightened, spirit.
Halloween (1978)
You have to watch Halloween on Halloween. This little indie film about a masked psycho stalking babysitters in suburbia was a huge hit, and ushered in the slasher-movie boom of the 1980s. That said, Halloween is more spooky than gory. Michael Myers, capital-E Evil incarnate, has a phantom-like presence in every frame of this feature, and your quaint childhood neighborhood as never looked scarier.
The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
Friday the 13th (1980)
We're still stuck in the woods, readers. Despite an absurd string of sequels, the original Friday the 13th is actually pretty good. Well, it's not like good good – but still, watch it because it's fascinating to see the humble beginnings of a (former) powerhouse franchise. Friday the 13th might not be much of a box-office powerhouse anymore, but the series left a huge, bloody mark on pop culture and film history. Also, Mrs. Voorhees is one bad mother.
Phantasm (1979)
Suspiria (1977)
The Descent (2005)
The claustrophobic and creepy story of six women who explore an unmapped cave – which itself is unsettling – who then get attacked by humanoid monsters. As you can tell from the poster, the filmmakers made sure to include plenty of red-dyed corn syrup.
Scream (1996)
Like The Cabin in the Woods, Scream gets meta with its horror. With its introduction of the movie-loving Ghostface killer (not to be confused with Ghostface Killah), Scream revitalized the slasher genre in the mid-'90s. It also turns into a surprisingly good mystery.
The Shining (1980)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Black Christmas (1974)

Colin Abbott this afternoon pleaded no contest to two counts of murder — nearly two years after being charged with killing his father and stepmother.
The 42-year-old New Jersey man entered his plea before Butler County Judge William Shaffer.
In exchange for that plea, the Butler County District Attorney's office agreed to drop its intent to seek convictions of first-degree murder and a death sentence.
Instead, prosecutors will recommend a prison sentence of 35 to 80 years when Abbott is sentenced Wednesday.
All of the attorneys related to the case refused to comment, citing a court-issued gag order.
Prosecutors have long asserted that on June 6 or June 7, 2011, Abbott shot Kenneth Abbott, 65, and Celeste Abbott, 55, then burned and scattered their remains around their 25-acre Brady Township estate.
Jury selection in Abbott's trial was set to begin on Monday.

Couple of reasons for this pick. They took a dagger in the heart last night, losing with a tenth inning grand slam walk off against them. Kemp is finally getting into his groove. Hefner is pitching for the Mets. Short and Sweet.
