Congratulations and best wishes to Deb DeJarnette. After 40 years Deb will be retiring from the Lincoln Public Library. She started on Aug. 21, 1971, and says the biggest change during her career is computers and e-books. But she says there will always be a place for conventional books and the interaction of a reader with the story, especially with children.

Deb plans to spend time being a grandmother in Texas with her daughter Marni, who is expecting. Deb says she will miss many of the people who visit the library and wishes she could take many of them with her.

With the bins of Logan County full, the cellars with garden produce ready for the winter, out of their bounty members and friends of St. John United Church of Christ brought in bags and boxes of food and staples to be shared with others in our community. Organized this year by mission committee co-chairs Verdeen Ingram and Marlene Wilmert, this has been a tradition at St. John for many, many years. Before the altar, decorated by Marita Schneider in a harvest theme, Bear Pack 111 of St. John UCC, under the leadership of Cathy Sanders, also brought food items to be shared. When the pyramid was taken down, 38 boxes of food were delivered to the Community Action Food Bank to help make Thanksgiving happier this year for some of the citizens of Logan County.

Two men look at a replica of the painting "Flagellation of Christ" prior to the official restitution ceremony between Indiana University and the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation at the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin on Monday. Created by a Cologne master, the painting dates to the late 15th century and originally formed part of a wing of an altarpiece. It was one of more than a dozen paintings that disappeared from the Berlin museum during the summer of 1945, looted by Russian and British soldiers. The IU Art Museum acquired the painting in 1985 as a gift from Herman B Wells, former longtime IU president. University officials said Wells purchased the work in good faith from a London art gallery in 1967. Due to conservation and security reasons, the original painting was not shown at the ceremony.
