Library Vandals

Having first noticed a water leak behind the Library has led to discovery of an even worse problem there. I have pondered for a few days how to address this and perhaps offer some solution. The best I have come up with is a request for reponsible adults (or youth) to help keep an eye on our public library for those few that choose to abuse the privilege. Your suggestions and help would be appreciated. -- Ted Wright 5/31/2009

Thanks Ted, I have alerted downtown Maintenance about it...our sprinkler system seems to find all types of ways to leak. also notice sprinkler heads have been pulled from the ground.

We have had so much trouble with the teens the past two weeks...I do not know if another news story would help or not....this morning obscene graphics on the white door downstairs on the east side of the building...we have repainted and cleaned that area at least every other day for the past two weeks....today we found the stall door in the boys bathroom ripped off the stall and damaged , they have keyed one of the murals on the stairway inside the library, and the list goes on... I have called the police numerous times, lots of the outside stuff happens after hours.
I was thinking with school out the damage would cease but some happened today or late last night. Really at my wits end. -- Susan (5/28/2009)

New Children’s Book
Penned By Local Author

Press Release: 5/19/2009 (Received 5/28)

Former Collinsville News editor Mike McCarty, has written a new children’s book which imparts valuable lessons about morals to children.

Curiously Odd Moral Insights for Children (COMIC) is available at Authorhouse.com

Curiously Odd Moral Insights for Children (COMIC) includes short stories and poems each highlighting a moral within a story delivering insights about good behavior.

The stories are great for story times or individual readings and include tales about helpful clowns, friendship between a dog and a turtle and a misguided witch, among other tales.

Children will love the flow of poetry and short stories, and the book encourages discussion between children and adults about morals.

Collinsville Soil Program Co-Sponsors Kids Zone & Family Fun
For 8th Annual Hogs N Hot Rods

Collinsville Downtown Inc., A Main Street Program welcomes the Collinsville Soil Program as a Co-sponsor for this year’s Hogs N Hot Rod Event. Contributions from The Collinsville Soil Program have helped expand the activities available to families during the June 13th event, as well as help achieve the goal of presenting a “community driven” event to over 12,000 anticipated visitors!

“The Collinsville Soil Program is pleased to join the larger community in supporting this important civic tradition,” said Jim Telle, manager of external communications, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.

Collinsville Soil Program this summer will begin testing residents’ lawns and driveways, parks, public areas and ball fields, upon the request of property owners, for levels of arsenic, cadmium or lead possibly associated with the smelters that were in Collinsville years ago.

“The Collinsville Soil Program will test soil (free of charge) at the request of property owners. For properties with metal concentrations that exceed state standards, soil and sod will be removed and replaced with new material at no cost to property owners and with their consent, “ Telle said.

“ The soil program office is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, and our team is looking forward to making a difference in Collinsville. Helping the Collinsville Downtown Main Street Program provide a day of entertainment for families demonstrates our interest in the quality of life and the future of Collinsville”.

Join the celebration on Main Street. Among the activies for the day include,
Guitar Hero Competition, Inflatable rides, music, face painting, Arm Wrestling competition, Pony rides, classic cars and motorcycles, food and craft vendors, and of course, shopping on Main Street.
