The winners of the Halloween coloring contest are: 4- and 5- year-olds — Maddox Norris, 6- and 7-year-olds — Kaiden Norris, 8- and 9-year-olds — Samuel Hollman, and 10- and 11-year-olds — Paige Smith
All the entries were so good and so original and Tina, Susan and I are just glad we didn’t have to do any of the judging. I wish they all could have won but then it wouldn’t have been a contest.
Next Wednesday, Nov. 11, is Veteran’s Day and the library will be open for business as usual.
If you are one of the people who get the day off, why not come by and check out something good to read or listen to or watch. Or just come by and read one of our newspapers. We subscribe to the Pauls Valley Daily Democrat, the Garvin County News Star, the Oklahoman, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. We also subscribe to more than 40 magazines for your reading pleasure.
Can you believe it is less than three weeks until Thanksgiving and we are having such great weather! The only bad thing is all this moisture and then sunshine and warm days really makes the grass grow. I thought I had “retired” the lawnmower for the year, but will have to get it out again.
Drop by and see us and check out what’s going on at your library.

‘The Grey’ follows typical blah early year trend
As a relatively balanced movie fan, I tend to be open to the possibility of any time of the year having the chance to win over audiences, though there remains reasons why most of the awesome of the box office begins around summer.

‘War Horse’ gallops away with enamored audience
There may be some confusion among the top critics none of us pay any mind to on what films deserve the highest accolades as award season progresses, but as far as I’m concerned, a certain equestrian title is making a pretty strong case itself.

‘Tintin’ may be unsinkable come award time
There’s something to the idea that animation movie makers may have better figured out the art of story telling and could certainly teach a majority of their peers in the live action arena how to weave a plot.

‘The Muppets’ welcome in sentimental return
While bias is a position I try to leave to the talking heads of television, every now and again I come across a film I anticipate so much it’s hard for it to disappoint.

‘Chipwrecked’ floats better than first sequel
When it comes to the three most recognized singing rodents this side of the milky way galaxy, one wouldn’t think the term gimmick would be anything more than description as usual.

‘Holmes: Game of Shadows’ wows in witty sequel
Though I could be struck down by the critic gods at any moment, one thing Hollywood seems to get right more than when I was growing up is the art of the sequel.

‘Gen. Rex: Agent of Providence’ not even a noob’s paradise
As someone who has witnessed the best and worst video games have had to offer since ET almost killed consoles in the early years, I consider my range of terrible rankings to be rather flexible.

Stark caps off the year with Fine Dining
Pride in the local scene has always been a part of what drives Pauls Valley residents to make what is otherwise a small town compete with far larger peers.
