PLYMOUTH — Every year, the Plymouth Public Library encourages patrons to read one book as a community.
The “One Book One Town” program is similar to a giant book club — one that everyone is welcome to.
“The idea is to promote lifelong literacy and to share ideas — so we read one book together,” said Anna Liechty, a Friends of the Library member and the leader of the upcoming community book talk.
This year’s book is The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, a memoir by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer.

Construction company to lose nearly $150K on bridge project

MARSHALL CO. — The company that rebuilt the 13th Road bridge a couple years ago won’t be fully paid for the project because it wasn’t completed on time. The project’s original completion date was July 2011. The bridge was finally finished in November 2011.
County Highway Department Superintendent Neal Haeck explained that Jack Isom Construction in Reynolds was hired to fix up the bridge — which needed significant work.
“The bridge was a box beam construction and it was coming apart,” said Haeck. “It was time to have it replaced.”

STATE POLICE, LOCAL AGENCIES GATHER TO DISCUSS, PLAN

According to presenters at an event last Thursday, chances are a mass shooter at a local school, business, or public place will already have departed, committed suicide, or been disarmed by a bystander before law enforcement agencies arrive at the scene -- in which case, civilians need to think ahead and plan, should the worst take place.

Downtown Plymouth business closes its doors

PLYMOUTH — This Saturday is the last day of business for Ely Lane, located at 110 W. Garro Street in downtown Plymouth.
Owner Erin Yeager has decided to close her shop, which features her handmade or restored furniture, gifts and accessories. Yeager also provided a space for other local crafters to sell their wares.
“This is so I can be home with my family during the day,” said Yeager, who has two sons ages 7 and 3. “Also I think this will give me more time during the day to go out and find furniture, instead of being stuck in the store all day.”
