Kids put color in holiday
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.

‘Flapjacks & Sasquatches’ one timber away from genius
If there is anyone in this world that is still holding out for a game that honors both the rugged tradition of tree chopping macho men and an urban legend almost as hairy as they are, your prayers have been answered. If you haven’t been praying for this miracle in fun time, you are either not from the wooded lands up north or you just haven’t imagined yet.

“Despicable Me” makes evil a family activity
With all the things that are good in life, we often will condemn or ignore something that is even the slightest bit fiendish. Sure, the agonizing 24-hour networks seem to thrive on bad information, but rarely do we acknowledge that inside all of us is a small desire to be mischievous.

Paoli School more than a home
There may be no shortage of accolades to go around when it comes to key people in society like police officers, doctors or teachers, but for those who work with those individuals, the gratitude isn’t always as public.

Catering business cooks way to success

“Bioshock 2” proves story driven games can still thrive
If I had to peg one reason why my enthusiasm for first person shooting games faded out years ago it would most likely be the lack of a gripping story. In fact, video games on the console drove me to not to play anything other than PC games for the same reason after the retirement of the Super Nintendo with no revival until the first Xbox variant.
