This is a guest post by Murray Hogg and is the ninth installment in the series "Evangelicals, Evolution, and the Church". Murray is the pastor of Camberwell East Baptist Church in Melbourne, Australia, and is the Chair of the Victorian chapter of ISCAST
For some, the question of origins is simple. For Evangelical Christians it's complex. Evangelicals believe that the origin and development of the universe, including life on earth, is the result of the purposeful act of a benevolent Creator. They also take seriously the Biblical teaching on creation in Genesis and elsewhere. This gives Evangelicals more options on origins than others. It also means more issues to consider in evaluating those options. Evangelicals want to ask questions which others might regard as settled, or even entirely irrelevant. Questions relating to such diverse topics as philosophy of science, theological method, and ethics, to name but a few. Hence the complexity.
Complexity, however, can trouble Evangelicals. It conflicts with their sense that the Christian message is simple: so simple, in fact, that any person might understand it on a straight forward reading of the Bible. So the complexity involved in efforts to reconcile evolution and Christian faith tends to rub against the Evangelical grain. Yet this commitment to a simple Gospel message also means that Evangelicals reject any suggestion that one's views of origins can ever be fundamental to salvation (see, for example, these remarks by Ken Ham). For Evangelicals the origins issue isn't so much a question of science versus scripture as one of simplicity versus complexity.
One way of resolving this complexity is to dismiss evolutionary science. This is a popular approach amongst many Evangelicals. But others—particularly those working in the sciences—find this option entirely unacceptable. They accept evolution on scientific grounds and seek to make sense of it in a way faithful to their Evangelical Christian commitments. Despite different responses to evolution, however, there is a shared desire to maintain a critical principle well expressed in Martin Luther's famous remark: "It is neither right, nor safe, to go against conscience." Evangelicals disagree so strongly on origins precisely because personal conscience before God is a matter of utmost importance. To compromise on matters of conscience is neither right nor safe.
The Pastoral Task: A Principle from St. Paul
In the face of such conflicts, what role is the Christian pastor to play? How does the pastor responsibly address a topic where Evangelicals take so many different positions as a matter of conscience? Dogmatic pronouncements and disciplinary action can intimidate people to go against conscience, but that's hardly to be encouraged. On the other hand, teaching the correct view of origins is difficult given that the correct view of origins is precisely the point at issue. So what's a Christian pastor to do?
Well, I think that Paul's discussion in First Corinthians gives us solid Biblical ground on which to stand. The Corinthians had written to Paul (7:1) for a definitive word on the divisive issue of meat sacrificed to idols (8:1). But Paul seems to sidestep that question completely. "We know that an idol is nothing," he writes in 1 Cor. 8:4, "but there is not in everyone that knowledge" (7). Fair enough. Not everybody knows the truth about idols. But if we thought that some solid Biblical teaching on idolatry is in order, Paul surprises us by offering nothing of the sort. Instead of educating the ignorant, Paul directs his remarks to the knowledgeable and he urges them to show restraint despite their knowledge; "if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble" (13). Paul isn't concerned with how much we know. It's the impact of our behaviour on others which he thinks matters.
The Human Condition and Theological Disagreement
Underlying Paul's discussion is the recognition of a critically important truth (the "T" word: Evangelicals take note!): the human condition, even amongst those who know Christ and his saving grace, is one of ignorance and error—"now we see in a mirror, dimly...now I know in part" (1 Cor 13:12). Indeed, 1 Corinthians is pervaded with the idea that love, not knowledge, is the greater virtue; "we all have knowledge, knowledge puffs up, but love edifies" (8:1) … "because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?" (8:11) … "though I…understand all mysteries and all knowledge...but have not love, I am nothing" (13:2) … "whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away" (13:8). And I might only add that Jesus himself criticised his opponents on pretty much the same point (cf. Jn. 5:39-40; Mat. 23:2, 23).
Now, lest people misunderstand me, I want to make very clear that I am not dismissing matters of truth as unimportant. But, when it comes to the origins issue, can we honestly pretend that there's any broad agreement as to what the truth actually is? Surely the Christian pastor ought to acknowledge that this is a matter upon which Evangelicals can and do hold widely divergent views? And it's an abuse, not a fulfilment, of the pastoral calling to behave as if it were otherwise. Here the truth is "we don't know all the answers"—even if, perhaps, we think we should.
There is a great irony lurking here. Sometimes we become so embroiled in arguments about creation that we overlook a great theological truth that is central to any view of origins: we humans are creatures and as such limited by finitude. The implication? We all have blind spots in our thinking and can therefore never assume the mantle of judgement over others (see Romans 14:1-13). We need, in any case, to avoid falling into a kind of intellectual "salvation by works" where scientific, theological, or even biblical truth become the basis of our standing in Christ. Once we go down that path then we become, as it were, "debtors to keep the whole law" (Gal. 5:3) who are allowed no errors at all. Better we avail ourselves of Christ's grace which is sufficient for all things, errors of belief included.
Such are only a few of the critical pastoral considerations which are often overlooked in the origins debate. There is no shortage of horror stories concerning Christians whose views on origins have made them the target of attack by fellow believers—even to the extent that some have walked away from the church or lost their faith altogether. The clear lesson is that our response to a person's views on origins can affect their relationship with Christ far more than any error in their theory of origins ever could.
So, regardless of what you think you know about the subject of origins, please try to keep in mind Paul's rhetorical question: "because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?" (8:11) Remember that it's the stronger believer, the one who claims to have knowledge, who should give way to the weaker. Our failure to do so—regardless of where we stand on the origins issue—can have frightful consequences. There are all sorts of issues involved in the origins debate, but we should never allow our views to destroy the faith of others. When we do so, our lack of pastoral concern doesn't commend us to God, but rather brings us under the judgment of the greatest pastor of all (Mk. 9:42).

Forty-five years ago, English model Jill Kennington agreed to appear in an art-house film—one that would memorably capture the energy of London's 1960s fashion and art scenes. Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 classic, Blow-Up—his first English-language film—was a sensation, and earned the Italian modernist Oscar nominations for directing and writing. Today, Kennington discusses her participation in Blow-Up and the real-world London atmosphere it depicted with Philippe Garner, international head of 20th-century decorative art and design at Christie's. With David Alan Mellor, Garner has co-written a book that analyzes and contextualizes the film: Antonioni's Blow-Up. (Steidl).
Philippe Garner: Jill, your role in Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up created an indelible image that has become emblematic of the London scene in the 60s. How did it happen that you got cast for the film?
Jill Kennington: I remember excited whispers going round London: "Antonioni is going to make a movie here!" He was very well known to me for his beautiful and often strange films, so I was intrigued, but it took a while to understand that he was interested in the London 60s scene—in particular the world of fashion photographers and models. I then often saw him sort of skulking around, not wanting to be noticed, alone, just taking it all in, both in the trendy discotheques, watching, and in my favorite Italian restaurant, San Lorenzo. One day he turned up on a shoot I was doing for Queen magazine at David Montgomery's studio. I remember there were two other girls; we were introduced, told he was just going to watch and to ignore him. This was very easy, as he just faded away to a gray figure alone at the back. I was a bit disappointed that the shoot was quite abstract and graphic, not typically my type of work. Of course, only when the filming started, with five girls, could I see how that shoot had given him ideas and inspiration.
PG: Tell me more about the shoot for Queen, and the importance of that magazine, and David Montgomery's status in the business. He was an American in London, wasn't he?
JK: Philippe, you would have loved Queen magazine. I did some great spreads with Helmut Newton, Jeanloup Sieff, Peter Beard, John Cowan, and David Montgomery. David arrived from New York in, at a guess, 1964, and he was very, very good. He was laid-back, with his drawl and unhurried way. He had a big studio in Edith Grove, all black and cool music playing—a good working atmosphere. The fashion editor Clare Rendlesham had such a way with clothes, and she had a great instinct about photographers. Many people thought she was a nightmare, but all the shoots I did with her were terrific. David did a spread with me called "The Rossetti Look," which was Rendlesham's idea, and the pictures are favorites of mine. The thing about Queen was that they really gave people a chance to be creative, and they were bold and confident enough to take risks. They were young and refreshing—the art department and the directors had battles on Monday mornings that became legendary. The creative team sure had to fight to keep the good spreads in. This was essential, as they recognized the pulse of what was happening in London. Maybe it was no accident that Antonioni turned up at Montgomery's studio, rather than in the Vogue studio.
PG: You mentioned John Cowan. His studio became a principal set for Blow-Up. You had a close working and personal relationship with him. Can you tell me about his style of working? Was it anything like that of the photographer in the film?
JK: I had a close working relationship with John Cowan. Somehow it was always exciting. I felt from the start that I could be myself, plus whatever ingredient was needed for the shoot. Amazingly, our work has become iconic and curiously hasn't dated. John was usually clad in stone-colored denim, with desert boots. All the years I worked with him, he never tripped or fell, though he clambered anywhere, including onto his Land Rover roof, to achieve a great angle. Luckily, I was born a mountain goat, and many photographic adventures involved jumping or hanging off buildings.
The David Hemmings–and-Veruschka scene for Blow-Up was pure Cowan. Antonioni must have seen him working—I never saw anyone else take pictures quite that way. The shooting on the floor downwards, completely fluid, unhindered by tripods, etc., was typical Cowan.
PG: Fascinating. So there clearly were details that Antonioni picked up from John Cowan to add authenticity to the character. Tell me about Veruschka.
JK: Veruschka was the only person who could have done that scene like that. I imagine that she may have been asked to end up on the floor, but who knows; it was a happening and brilliant. I had met Veruschka a few years before in New York and had seen her work. Then one day, about a year before Blow-Up, I was working for Queen magazine with, coincidentally, David Montgomery. Clare Rendlesham was the fashion editor, and she whispered to me that she wanted to talk to me about something after we had finished the shoot. We were in the dressing room, with all the makeup lights on round the mirrors. Clare had a glint in her eye, and I thought, Something's exciting here. Later she said that she was trying to arrange a trip to Africa, with Peter Beard, who I had also met in New York, and who had asked for me and, hopefully, Veruschka. I was thrilled to be asked and agreed instantly. I had a few anxieties about not being six feet tall, and wondered if I would be able to carry off any photographs with her. [But] the trip was fantastic.
PG: So, by early 1966, when filming started, you were at the top, in demand from the very best photographers and magazines. You were one of the most successful models in the business. How did you get started as a model?
JK: At the age of 18, I just knew I had to get to London. After school—domestic-science college, hotel-management training—I needed to find my own path. I had such a free upbringing, a sort of outward-bound childhood. I was fearless, and I begged my parents to let me go and stay with my aunt, Mary, who was a buyer for Harrods. I got a job at Harrods over the Christmas period. It was a huge contrast from life at home in Lincolnshire, and there was such a buzz in the air. I used to go and check out Mary Quant's Bazaar, and I had never seen anything like it—great clothes for young people. I was at a birthday party at the Savoy Hotel one day, when Michael Whittaker introduced himself, saying that he was a top model agent and that I must go and see him. I took my mother to meet him at the agency in Brook Street, and he charmed her into agreeing. Together, we persuaded my father.
I remember that Michael had a small school that taught girls how to walk, and the basics of makeup. I think I only did two days, and was then asked to go and see Norman Hartnell. Here was the Queen's dressmaker, who created very classic, sophisticated clothes. He was about to do a big tour of the British Isles, in all the major cities, putting on shows. He had his house models and a few others, but thought it would be a good idea to have me as the young one. I remember he said, "Darling, you are going to be my mascot." He made a big fuss of me, and on tour, I seemed to be the one that the local press wanted for their photographs. I was also the bride, who traditionally closed the show. I think it stirred some jealousy among the others.
I definitely remember feeling as if that wasn't really me; I felt I was pretending. I had met John Cowan the first day at Michael Whittaker's and had done some test shots before the tour. It felt so natural being photographed. The tour lasted about a month, ending with a hip party given by Lord Bath in the caves on his estate. It was called "The Cave Rave," and I, as the mascot, was in a tiny suede dress, appropriate for a sexy cavewoman.
PG: In Blow-Up, one can see a number of his pictures of you in the studio, notably very big prints—I should perhaps say "blowups"—including one on location in London from the series of you posed on major London monuments for Queen. These are very different pictures from the film's highly stylized fashion shoot.
JK: What you see on the walls of John's studio, pictures that featured in Blow-Up, were typical Kennington/Cowan images. It was very weird, to say the least, when I discovered what I was being asked to do in Blow-Up. I remember thinking that I shouldn't do it, that I was being unfair to myself, feeling as if I was to be an under-used, bit-part player. The funny thing is that I then turned the thoughts around and told myself, This is Antonioni, it is his vision, and the whole thing is a bit of a mystery. Now that the film is such a cult classic, ever more so, I am really glad that I did it. We were pieces in an artist's jigsaw.
The scenes that I was in were, as you say, highly stylized. I actually really like that now. I can see that Antonioni needed some stillness; it slows things down. The fact that the five girls are graphically positioned, in our bold clothes and makeup, looks very good. At the time, I hated the fact that we were so doll-like, and the fact that we had to play it very dumb did not appeal to me. I often felt that there was a lot to defend—O.K., some models may be dumb, but I am not one of them! Here I was doing precisely this, playing a vacuous creature. In real life, I never experienced anything other than respect and enthusiasm. This was a movie, and I was playing a part. The film created its own reality, and by the end, do we really know what it is about? It plays with our psyche. I think Antonioni loved to play with illusion and to leave us questioning.
PG: It is interesting to realize that for so many of us the film—a work of fiction—came to define the realities of that world. How true did you consider David Hemmings's interpretation of the role of the photographer?
JK: I thought David Hemmings was terrific. He was physically slight, more like David Bailey, but the way he worked in the film had the charisma of John Cowan. I don't know what sort of research, if any, he did, but he just nailed the role. He used to hang out with us girls over in the dressing room, where we also did hair and makeup. This was a good move, as he got to know us and we all felt at ease with him. He was so perfectly cast, an appealing bundle of energy, and of course he was very young. For the tableau, my bold blue-and-white top and cap looked great, but I couldn't move—it was designed for effect. I was on the poster for the film in France, in a collage of myself and the infamous image of David and Veruschka.
PG: Despite certain initial misgivings, the movie seems to have been a very interesting chapter in your professional life.
JK: I am happy that I did the role in Blow-Up. Career-wise, it was different and exciting to be part of the film. Now, in hindsight, I am even more pleased. It is fun that so many young people have seen it and really appreciate it—curiously, and significantly, it is unique in that it took a maestro from another country to realize that a slice of 60s London was worth recording, even though his interpretation took on the character of a mystery, a fantasy, or an illusion. Sometimes people ask me what Blow-Up was about. I haven't a clue! But it is unforgettable.

Continuing in our superhero series, let's take a gander at the many and varied ways the arachnid-loving aerialist Spider-Man is maligned in icing:
Ok, so he's looking pretty good on the free mini-poster they included (the better to explain the cake, perhaps?), but what's going on with the figurines?
[tsking] "Spidey, have you been battling the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man again? You have, haven't you? [shaking head] I don't care if MJ IS stuck in that gargoyle: you have to learn to stick to your OWN movie plot lines!"
If we have to ask Batman why he's so serious, we need to ask Spidey why he's so worried. Could it be he's puzzling over what a happy "Birth 2ay" is?
Here he looks less worried and more...er...skinned and stretched:
I bet this is the "cake" Doc Ock would like for his birthday: after all, it's a CCC, so it's already inherently evil. [wicked grin]
And speaking of stretched skin, thank goodness this next one is "for display only":
Tell me the top of that cake doesn't look like an infectious skin disease. Go on.
Sheesh, Spider-Man is popular! Stay tuned for Wreck-Slingers, Part 2.

Abrams Capital led a $36 million financing round for TransMedics Inc., a developer of organ preservation technology for transplantation. Existing investors including Flagship Ventures, Hercules Technology Growth Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers also participated.
TransMedics, Inc., the global leader in organ preservation technology, announced the closing of a $36 million financing round led by Abrams Capital with the participation of existing investors including Flagship Ventures, Hercules Technology Growth Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
"TransMedics is revolutionizing the field of solid organ preservation for transplantation and is well positioned to become the worldwide market leader," said David Abrams, Managing Member of Abrams Capital. "We led this investment because we believe that TransMedics has the right combination of superior products, market strategy and leadership to transform the organ transplant market and improve the quality of life for people around the world," said Travis Rhodes, Managing Director at Abrams Capital. Both Mr. Abrams and Mr. Rhodes have joined TransMedics' Board of Directors.
"We are committed to capitalizing on this market opportunity and creating significant shareholder value," said Dr. Waleed Hassanein, President and CEO of TransMedics, Inc. "This financing enables us to complete our heart and lung FDA pivotal trials and expand our global commercial activities."
Revolutionizing ex- vivo perfusion of donor organs at leading transplant centers around the world, TransMedics' Organ Care System (OCS™) Heart device is recognized as a top medical innovation by Cleveland Clinic, CNN and Popular Science. Most recently, the OCS Lung device was featured in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, in an article detailing the superior clinical results in high-risk lung transplant recipients.
The OCS is the only portable preservation technology that maintains donor organs in a near-physiologic and functioning condition from donor to transplant recipient. The OCS has the potential to improve post-transplant clinical outcomes and significantly expand the number of transplant procedures performed annually based on its unique and proprietary capabilities to overcome the current challenges of cold storage of donor organs.
About TransMedics, Inc.

The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report for 2012-2013 exposes that U.S. infrastructure compares unfavorably with that of most advanced countries and even some developing nations.
The report investigated the quality and availability of roads, railroads, ports, air transport, electricity, and telephones.
In terms of overall infrastructure, the U.S. ranks 25 th, behind nations such as Oman and Barbados, and only one spot ahead of Qatar.
America's position is buoyed by finishing first in one category: the number of available airline seats. In other words, it's easy for Americans to get a plane ticket to wherever they need to go.
Other areas hold the United States' ranking down. For instance, the quality of air transport infrastructure is ranked 30 th in the world, while quality of the electricity supply ranks 33 rd.
China ranked lower than the U.S. in every single sub-category of infrastructure quality, and 69 th overall.

Should Your Boss Thank You More?
Of all the places people express gratitude, the workplace is dead last, according to a forthcoming survey. Only 40% express gratitude to their colleagues frequently. One reason is a widespread assumption among managers that setting tough goals and pushing people is the only way to improve productivity. Sue Shellenbarger has details on Lunch Break.

BOURBONNAIS — When Phil Emery joined the Bears as an area scout in 1998, then-college scouting director Bill Rees asked him to devise a program that would rate players based on various combine tests.
Emery came up with a formula the Bears would use in drafts in which they selected players such as Brian Urlacher, Mike Brown, Marty Booker, Roosevelt Colvin and Warrick Holdman.
A similar version of the formula remains in play at Halas Hall, this one devised by former strength coach Rusty Jones and muscled up by current strength coach Jimmy Arthur.
It's called the Athletic Index Score and Emery referred to it when discussing why the Bears chose certain players in the April draft.
But in the changing evaluation game, the Bears were searching for more. Much more.
Enter Mitch Tanney, director of analytics.
The Bears decided to join the growing number of teams that are playing moneyball in shoulder pads. Others who are going deep into analytics include the Ravens, Cowboys, Jaguars, Saints, Seahawks and Browns.
Tanney had been the manager of analytics for STATS. Emery became familiar with him after he became Bears general manager and he spent a day at STATS in Northbrook to see how the team could benefit from the company's services.
Emery and Tanney reconnected in March at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.
"I always had a strong interest in this area," said Emery, who has quoted Pro Football Focus statistics in news conferences. "Going to that conference and meeting with Mitch helped me get my head around the analytics equation."
So when the team lost a couple of talent evaluators in the offseason, Emery saw an opportunity to restructure the front office and create a dimension.
But it's not like scouts no longer have a use for game tape. The Bears see analytics as one of many evaluative elements.
"Mitch's input is no more important than the tape, than the interview or than a high quality computer system," Emery said. "Analytics is part of it, not all of it. … We're not trying to find magic bullets. We're trying to get a little bit more out of the data we have because there is such an array of it."
The Bears believe Tanney can enhance their efforts in three ways.
The most important area is scouting.
"He is going to help us in analyzing (veteran) player statistical information to compare and contrast with other players in the league," Emery said. "He will help us in analyzing future prospects with all the various statistical information each player presents — performance scores on the field, medical scores, background testing and psychological profiling. He will dial down the important information and make it clear how it relates to performance."
Tanney also will help negotiator Cliff Stein with salary cap analytics and negotiation strategies.
And he will provide coach Marc Trestman and his staff with metrics that could give them an edge. Tanney is tracking trends for strategical purposes already, and the coaches also have given him special projects.
"There are so many elements that go into decision making besides the numbers," Trestman said. "But at least you can get percentages on what your chances may be.
"An example might be if you look at what the numbers say if it's fourth-and-1 on the 8. Is it better to go for it or take three (points)? If you don't get it, there is a good chance you'll get the three back if you have a good defense and you punt the ball. Or you can create a turnover because they are backed up and you stress their offense."
Trestman said he doesn't know a lot about analytics, but he is open-minded to learning more.
Emery jokes that he did not get past Algebra 101.
So Tanney has a very different way of looking at the game than anyone else at Halas Hall.
He was a quarterback and team captain at Monmouth College, where he graduated with a degree in mathematics. He played quarterback in the Arena Football League and other pro leagues and served as an assistant coach at Monmouth. At STATS, he helped create and manage advanced football statistics, including the company's ICE program that NFL teams use.
"There is a uniqueness in finding an ex-player involved in analytics and having a deep math background," Emery said. "And he had job experience in the sport. There aren't many people with all those qualifications. So he adds something to the group that can make us better."
This is a new era for the Bears' front office, and Tanney's presence is confirmation.

Clarence J. (Bill) Rodman, benefactor to many institutions and organizations, made possible the construction of the present Rodman Public Library building. His early 1960s support for the Alliance library gave the impetus for expansion and for a facility that has served the community well for over 40 years. Mr. Rodman's donations extended to Ripon College, Parsons College, and Mount Union College, institutions from which he held degrees.
Born in Milwaukee in 1890, son of a minister, Clarence Rodman displayed an early interest in the world of business. He earned advanced degrees in chemical engineering and began his career with Eastman Kodak and Westinghouse. Advancement in his career brought him to Alliance, where he managed the Buckeye Jack Company and served as an officer of the Alliance Manufacturing Company. His scientific and business knowledge soon prompted Rodman to organize his own company, the Steel Sanitary Company, followed by Alliance Porcelain Products, AllianceWare, and Alliance Tool Company.
In addition to his businesses and philanthropy, Mr. Rodman was active in civic affairs. He served on the Alliance Board of Education, was a director of two local banks, and provided leadership in Alliance's development corporations. Other memberships included the Rotary Club, Wranglers Club, Exchange Club, and Masons. Mr. Rodman was a veteran of World War I. He died in 1972.

Extension services to the greater Alliance community began with a Trailer Branch in 938. The trailer cost less than $700 with all its modifications and was pulled by the local Package Delivery Truck. It could hold approximately 1000 volumes.
The Trailer Branch was replaced in 1949 with a Bookmobile costing approximately $6,738. It was capable of carrying a collection of about 2,000 volumes. From 1960 through the '70s, Rodman Library had two active Bookmobiles.
The current Bookmobile was purchased in 2012 and replaced the vehicle that was purchased in 1985.

The Carnation Mall Branch was opened in December 1990. The original location was at the center of the Mall near the Food Court and 1,700 square feet in size. In 1997, the Branch relocated to the west end of the Mall next to JC Penney's. The new 5,000 square foot location allowed the Branch to expand its services and collections. This location closed in December 2012 when the Branch relocated to the Marketplace Plaza on West State Street.

The first "regularly organized systematically conducted public library" opened on September 13, 1900 in Alliance High School. The library was open from 2-5 p.m. Books could be checked out for 2 weeks and renewed for an additional 2 weeks by any resident of Alliance.
Alliance High School was originally Alliance College. The building was designed by Simeon Porter, the designer of Chapman Hall at Mount Union College. It was built in the late 1860s on East Broadway and demolished in 1910 to make room for a new high school next to the Carnegie Library building.
Andrew Carnegie donated $25,000 for the building, which required a little more than a year to construct. Dedication ceremonies were held on September 6, 1904 on the High School grounds. The new building was located on the northeast corner of South Arch Avenue and High Street.
The new building was built from light brown brick with Indiana limestone trimming, tile roof and a copper covered dome.
The dedication ceremonies were highlighted with addresses by Mount Union College President A. B. Riker, state commissioner of common schools E. A. Jones, and State Librarian C. B. Galbreath.
During its first year of operation, the library circulated 40,126 volumes to 3,150 patrons. The collection consisted of only 4,638 books.
Librarian Howard B. Sohn reached his goal of locating a branch station in the downtown business area in 1927. The branch was located at the Lawn News Stand in the Spring-Holzwarth Arcade.
The collection consisted of approximately 600 adult books with 100 children's books added later. The space was rented monthly from the arcade. Service was provided to the public by the staff of the news stand during the week with service provided by library staff on Saturday afternoons and evenings.
As shown in the photo, the booth opened directly onto the arcade where it was convenient for shoppers to stop and easily check out books.
The Arcade Station proved a very good public relations vehicle since it offered library services to many who had not used the main Carnegie facility.
In October 1927, the children's book collection was moved to the basement of the Carnegie Library in an area that had formerly housed the high school's book store.
The new facilities eliminated the overcrowded conditions of the main floor and established an area that children under the age of 14 could call their own.
The collection of magazines, books, and money for the Alliance City Hospital took place from May 12-17, 1930. Volunteers, such as these young boys from the Alliance Pioneer Club, led the collection drive on behalf of the library.
It was noted in the campaign flyer that May 12 was the birthday of Florence Nightingale.
*When the Sohn family traveled by housetrailer to the ALA Conference during the summer of 1937, Mr. Sohn visualized the transformation of the vehicle into a book trailer which could furnish library service to outlying sections of the community. Consequently, a 16 foot shell was ordered for the library from Schult Trailers, Inc. of Elkhart, Indiana. A local contractor was engaged to make wooden shelving for the book trailer.
Total expenditure for the Trailer Branch was less than $700. The necessary motive power was provided by the local Package Delivery Truck. Within the book collection of the trailer, there were "610 volumes of adult fiction, 333 volumes of adult non-fiction and foreign languages, and seventy-six picture books" for preschoolers. Since there were book collections on deposit in the city schools, the Trailer Branch did not include library materials for elementary school children. Trailer service began in 1938.

*Starting in October of 1948, the first 16-mm films were circulated under the direction of Miss Rosanna Johnston. The library was participating in a Regional Film Project sponsored by the Cleveland Public Library with a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
The purpose of this program was to determine if medium-sized libraries could successfully loan films. During the last three months of 1948, the library circulated 390 times the fifty-one films it had received. There was an aggregate audience of 14,868 for the film showings.
[Librarian] Sohn found the film circulating endeavor a popular and useful service. When the Carnegie Corporation's support of the project ended in 1950, the Cleveland Public Library became the administrator of the Regional Film Project in which there were ten northern Ohio libraries. As a member of the organization, the Carnegie Free Library received forty or fifty films "each month for ten months of the year." Mrs. Eugene Swallen succeeded Miss Johnston in the Film Department.

*Unquestionably, the Traveling Branch was important in making library materials accessible to those living at a distance from the Library. During a brief ceremony at the Public Square on May 27, 1949, the title and keys to a new bookmobile were presented to Mr. G. E. Graf, President of the Library Board.
The cost of the vehicle was approximately $6,739. Whereas the two-ton chassis was purchased from Sarchione and Sons; "the body and interior construction" was done by the Gerstenlager Company. There was shelving space for about 2,000 volumes on the bookmobile.

*Between 1952 and 1955, the Great Books Discussion Group program was sponsored by the Carnegie Free Library and Mount Union College.
Enthusiastically directed by Mrs. Jack Dawson, the organization met in the Sebring Room of the college. There were two groups meeting in 1953; the original group still gathered in the Sebring Room, the newer group in the library's auditorium.

"Automation" came to the Library with the implementation of the Gaylord Automatic Charging System. With this system, patrons were given library cards that included a raised metal plate with a number on it. The book card and the library card were placed in the charging machine where the patron's card number and the due date were stamped onto the book card. This significantly sped up the charge-out procedure.
A. Chapman Parsons began his official position as librarian of the Carnegie Free Library on July 1, 1956. Mr. Parsons was a native of Ripley, West Virginia and had previously been librarian of the Gallia County District Library at Gallipolis, Ohio. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and received a B.S. degree in education from the University of West Virginia in 1949. He received his master's degree from the Western Reserve University School of Library Science.
Library services were made available to the children who lived at the Fairmount Children's Home on April 10, 1958 through the cooperation of the Alliance Public Library and the Stark County Auxiliary to the Fairmount Children's Home.
Hazel Park, located on the southwest corner of East Broadway and Arch was selected as the location of the new library building. It was a good geographical location since it was across the street from the high school and situated near the center of the city and its population. The land was purchased from the City Council by the School Board for the sum of $1.
The new building, Rodman Public Library, was dedicated on February 10, 1963.
Some 400 persons attended the dedication ceremony which was broadcast on WFAH. Music was provided by the Alliance High School Ensemble with Clarence D. Steffy, vice-president of the Library Board of Trustees, presiding over the ceremonies. Dr. Carl C. Bracy, President of Mount Union College was the keynote speaker.
The modern era of library technology arrived with the installation of data processing equipment in the Technical Processing Department. Two staff members had been trained by IBM to operate the machines. The first operations transferred to the new computer were payroll and book processing.
Commands were keyed onto computer punch cards and then distributed according to the process. The computer increased the speed with which new books were processed allowing the staff more time to work with the public.
Pictured here, Barbara Moretti and Fred Allison put the computer through its paces.
Miss Harriet F. Miller, Head of the Extension Department, was appointed in December 1968 as acting Director after the resignation of Richard Cheski. She was officially appointed as Director in May 1969. Miss Miller was a graduate of Norton High School and Kent State University and had been a member of the Rodman Library staff since 1965.
The first Community Christmas tree program was held on December 14, 1971. The tree was a fully decorated 12 foot giant fir. The program included Christmas carols by the Alliance Music Club and a visit from Santa Claus. Decorations for the tree were provided by 40 clubs, civic organizations, and city officials representing the interests of the groups and individuals.
The dedication of the new Children's Room was scheduled to coincide with Children's Book Week. Included on the program was the Parkway School Choir and a keynote address by Trustee and Mount Union College Librarian, N. Yost Osborne.
A week of special programs followed including presentations by Brinton Turkle, Mrs. G. Otho Thompson, and Milton the Milkman.
The Homebound book service extended the Library to those who were too ill or physically unable to come to the library. Books and magazines were delivered to the homes of these persons on a pre-arranged schedule every four weeks. This service [71] is still offered by the Library.

The Carnegie Library building along with the old book store behind the library, the old high school and its auditorium annex were demolished after new buildings replaced them. The familiar round pillars from the front of the library were removed by William Greier, whose wrecking ball brought down the old structure, for a house that he would construct at Greier's Lake, a fishing and picnicking area near Berlin Center.
The addition of a microfilm reader-printer allowed patrons to make photocopies of a whole page or a zoomed-in section of a page from the Alliance Review. The machine could produce positive images from positive or negative film. It also included an automatic electric reel winder to speed up the scanning process.
Pictured are Reference Assistants Margaret Holfinger and Elia Badia.
"Become a Part of Local History" was the title of The Review article from which this picture comes. The album was a project of the Alliance Bicentennial Commission and was included in a time capsule that was buried in Freedom Plaza during November 1976. The Library also received a replica of the Liberty Bell from First National City Bank of Alliance as part of the Bicentennial celebration.
Ten historic American flags was donated by American Legion Post 166 and was on display in the Purcell Reading Room of the Main Library. The display was installed by Legion members William Mainwaring, Harold Hardy, James Reynolds and Robert Stauffeneger, Jr.
With a book collection that had increased from 103,235 volumes when the new building opened in 1963 to 178,000 in 1978, it became apparent that more space was needed for the Library's collection. The non-fiction collection was relocated to the mezzanine, opening the area to house more than 100,000 books.
A grant from the Albert W. and Edith V. Flowers Foundation with a matching gift from the Alliance Kiwanis Club allowed the Library to purchase a collection of 100 framed prints of classic and modern art works. The art prints can be borrowed for one month for a nominal fee.
Pictured are President of the Friends of Rodman Library, Ross Clem with Ron Tynan, chairman of the Flowers Foundation and Stewart Baxter representing the Alliance Kiwanis Club.
Two Apple computers were purchased by the Friends of Rodman Library for public use, ushering the age of free public computer access at the Library. Classes in computer use were offered at the Library in cooperation with the Alliance YWCA. The computers each had two 5.25" floppy disk drives, one had a color monitor, the other a green monochrome monitor. One printer was available for public use for a small charge. Software included educational programs, word processing, spreadsheets, and other programs.
"RON" (Rodman ONline) was the name given to the Dialog computerized information service offered at the Library. Dialog at the time offered over 200 databases of information that were accessed by reference librarians. A reference interview was conducted prior to "going online" to determine what the patron needed because of the fees involved with searching RON. The typical search cost between $5 and $10.
With the advent of CD-ROMs, a new cataloging service called BiblioFile became a cost-efficient way for smaller libraries to quickly obtain cataloging records and produce catalog cards and spine and pocket labels. Each month the Library received program updates on 5.25" floppy diskettes and database updates on CD-ROMs.
A new bookmobile was purchased in 1986 from the Gerstenslager company of Wooster. The focus of the bookmobile was now on the schools throughout the Alliance and Marlington districts. This vehicle served the library until its retirement in 2012.
The Library expanded its services with the opening of the Carnation Mall Branch which featured popular books for adults and children. Only the third in the state, a library in a shopping center [13] was not new to Alliance. It was originally located near the food court and offered shoppers a convenient location for returning items that were checked out from the Main Library or Bookmobile.
The Library's card catalogs were replaced by INNOPAC, a completely integrated online library system. In addition to titles that were already cataloged and listed in the card catalogs, the INNOPAC included access to the previously uncataloged materials in the library's collections such as paperbacks, Branch and Bookmobile collections, and on order items. 140,000 library items were barcoded in preparation.
The new INNOPAC system replaced the card catalog and the Gaylord Automatic Charging System. All patrons received new library cards that included a barcode number. The barcode number was linked to the patron's computer record allowing even faster checkouts.
New services offered with the new automation system included:
A cooperative effort among members of the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce, Alliance Community Hospital, the City of Alliance, and Rodman Public Library with assistance from Mount Union College and Alliance City Schools created the Alliance web site. The site was created to share information about Alliance and its many non-profit organizations with users of the Internet. The web site's computer and Internet connection were provided by Rodman Public Library. Nearly 1,800 pages were viewed during the site's first full month of activity.
As the Carnation Mall Branch grew in popularity, it became clear that it had outgrown its original 1,700-square-foot location near the food court. The facility was moved to a 5,000-square-foot location near J.C. Penney. The types and numbers of materials offered were expanded as well as the Branch began to offer more videos and CDs. Two public Internet computers were added as well as a PC for web-based access to the Library's catalog. A new multi-purpose room offered a welcome place for storytime programs and increased seating allowed patrons to relax with a good book.
With the Internet and World Wide Web gaining popularity, Rodman Library purchased six new computers for public access to the Internet at the Main Library. The computers were available to any library card holder free of charge.
Children of any age, even newborns, can now have their own library cards. No one is too young to use the Library's many resources.
Pictured here, Children's Dept. Staff Member Mary Calandros hands Kristina Taylor (center) and MacKenzie Berry (right) their new library cards.
Established in 2004, the Alliance Memory [89] project is a joint venture of Rodman Public Library in Alliance, Ohio with assistance from the Alliance Historical Society, Alliance City Schools, Negro History Club, Haines House, and Copeland Oaks.
The initial offerings included historic photographs of Alliance from the Alliance Historical Society, photographs of Taylorcraft Airplanes and Morgan Engineering from collections at Rodman Public Library, oral history recordings and transcriptions from the 1960s and 1970s held by Rodman Public Library, and video interviews of World War II veterans who live at Copeland Oaks, a retirement community in nearby Sebring, Ohio.
The Alliance Memory project was funded in part through an Institute of Museum and Library Services LSTA grant awarded by the State Library of Ohio.
At a marketing committee meeting for the Chamber of Commerce, Harry Paidas had an idea that Alliance should try a community read to bring members of the city together to discuss issues of concern to all. Together with director Harriet Clem, the Alliance One Book, One Community series began with James McBride's "The Color of Water".
Rodman Public Library opened in 1963. Before September 2005, the only renovations had been one small addition to the children's room in 1972 and a new roof in 2002. The 42-year old building needed a facelift.
The cost of the renovations is estimated at $2.1 million and the project will last approximately until December 2006. A total of $110,000 in gifts for the project have been received from Greater Alliance Foundation, The Butler Wick Foundation, the Flowers Foundation, and the Friends of Rodman Library. The Library has committed $1.7 million for the project which had been set aside over the years.
After 36 years as director of Rodman Public Library, Harriet Clem was honored by Alliance Mayor Toni Middleton with a City Proclamation announcing January 31, 2006 "Harriet Clem Day in the City of Alliance".
Staff members and well-wishers looked on as the Mayor read the proclamation outlining her many accomplishments as Director of the Library. He also extended the Key to the City to Mrs. Clem, an honor bestowed on very few individuals.
Among the many items listed were the addition of the Children's Room in 1972, automation of the Library, the Library's presence on the World Wide Web, opening of the Carnation Mall Branch and her election as the first woman chairman of the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce.
The most recent accomplishment was the start of the renovation project at the Main Library building.
Congratulations to the staff of Rodman Public Library on being named Large Business of the Year for 2013 by the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce at the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce's Business Alliance Awards Luncheon. The Library also received a Golden Spade Award for the opening of the new branch location.

Washington's Wonderful Wild Chinook Dinner
On May 13, Slow Food Seattle, Ray's Boathouse, Washington Trollers Association and Makah Tribal Nation hosted a reception and dinner celebrating the first of the season's Washington troll caught Chinook salmon. The delicious and sustainable multi-course salmon dinner featured wine pairings carefully chosen by Kristen and James Michael of the Chinook Winery in Prosser, Washington. Chef Peter Birk complimented the meal with a seasonal selection of locally farmed, seasonal produce.
Chef Birk kicked off the evening with a warm welcome followed by introductory remarks from Slow Food Seattle's Co-Chair, Lucy Norris. The mission of Slow Food comes down to a very simple idea: food should be good, clean and fair. To bring this point home, guests enjoyed the evening learning and tasting how and why Washington troll caught Chinook is a fine example of good, clean and fair food.
Following the first course of grav lox, Slow Food Seattle board member and Sustainable Seafood Consultant, Amy Grondin led a discussion and Q&A with fishermen from the Makah Tribe and Washington Trollers Association. Fishing season for troll caught Chinook opened May 1st on the Washington coast. In addition to catching salmon, fishermen are also stewards of this finned resource. We learned how fishermen are working with scientists to assure that Washington has healthy populations of wild salmon for decades to come. From habitat restoration to participating in wild salmon management with the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, sustainability is taken seriously by the fleet.
Physical and sensory characteristics revealed what the salmon ate and where the fish traveled through spawning. Having fed almost exclusively on krill, the roasted Chinook had a lighter flesh and nuttier taste, while the grilled Chinook, which ate mostly very small forage fish, was a deep red hue with rich, silky fattiness. There were other differences noted to where the fish was caught: originating from both Fraser and Columbia River tributaries.
At the end of the evening, Amy made an announcement that a deal had been negotiated with Seattle area Whole Foods Markets. For the first time, select local markets are now carrying Washington troll caught Chinook in their stores until the end of the 2009 season. We applaud Amy's tireless efforts to advocate for sustainable salmon habitats as well as the fishing and coastal communities who depend on fishing for livelihoods.
A Word about the Slow Food Ark of Taste
Washington Marbled Chinook Salmon was added to the Slow Food Ark of Taste in 2006. The Ark of Taste is an international program that seeks, first and foremost, to save an economic, social and cultural heritage of a diverse variety of animal breeds, seafood, fruit and vegetables, cured meats, cheeses, cereals, pastas, cakes and confectionery.
The mission of the Slow Food Ark of Taste is to preserve traditional tastes and to celebrate them, by introducing them to the Slow Food membership and then to the world.
All of the foods on the Ark of Taste are heritage products that have real economic viability and commercial potential for the communities that grow, produce or harvest them.
