Front Street Creep
Workers replacing storm sewer pipes on Front Street have unearthed what appears to be a previously undocumented graveyard. “There’s at least seven caskets and possibly more down there,” said project foreman Chuck Vorst. “The City told us to dig them up and put them in those storage containers behind the Steinbaugh Pavilion.” “Unbelievable,” said local history buff Melanie Bartz when informed of the find. Ms Bartz added she thinks the casket occupants are most likely, “folks who couldn’t pay their gambling debts back in the day. I wonder if that’s where Uncle Leo disappeared to.”

Color and Design in Historic Textiles

Did you know that our national colors are red, white and blue because of the Early American textile industry? Do you know why purple is associated with royalty? We easily associate specific colors and designs with countries, people and holidays, but you may be surprised to learn that a lot of these connections are due to ancient and historic textile processes. This presentation will delve into the development of color and designs of textiles, but we will also look at how it still relates to our lives today.
Forensic Study of Steel in the World Trade Center Towers
Library 1st floor Meeting Room
April 9
3:00 – 4:00 pm
While nearly everyone has seen pictures of the World Trade Center collapse in 2001, and many know stories of someone affected by the tragedy, few have heard any details about the steel that formed the structures, and the process that led to the collapse. In 2002, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was commissioned by Congress to investigate the structural and materials issues behind the collapses. This presentation by Dr. Tom Siewert, a retired member of NIST, will summarize the data collected between 2002 and 2004 on the behavior of the steel and the welds that framed the building.
