Local Libraries Cope With Theft

Books, magazines, CDs - libraries are loaded with items that are free for the taking. Trouble is, some people forget to check them out. While theft is not a serious problem at area libraries, almost all of them report things that "get up and walk away." "It's one of those ongoing things you have to face in a library," said Carolyn Buckmaster, media services director at Whitko High School."Every library has to face that." Anything by Stephen King is most likely to come up missing at a school library.Other hot ticket items are car magazines, science fiction, the "Goosebumps" series, books on the occult and materials used as research. Sometimes an item will disappear almost as soon as it's replaced."We have a problem keeping dictionaries.Our dictionaries come up missing all the time," said Shirley Gackenheimer, instructional media assistant at Tippecanoe Valley High School.

Charges Brought Against Murder Suspect

Formal charges were filed Friday against four of the men being held in connection with the disappearance and death of a Milford woman. Only one of the men is facing a murder charge and another is charged with assisting a criminal.Two of the men are charged with both burglary and theft.All four men appeared before Kosciusko Circuit Court Judge Rex Reed Friday afternoon.Pleas of not guilty were entered by the court on the behalf of each man. Officials said during a press conference Friday afternoon that the murder and auto thefts are believed connected, but "we don't know where the interrelationship is yet," according to Kosciusko County Prosecutor Chuck Waggoner, adding that it is premature to speculate as to a motive.
