Lawnside library a treasure trove of black history
Tuesday, June 29, 2004
Pastor has filled archive with artifacts and books
James A. Benson has been a builder and a musician, a pastor and a politician. But this list
hardly suggests what awaits a visitor to the Valley Bible Word of Faith school and library in
Lawnside.
I'd heard that Benson had amassed a major collection of books, artifacts and archival
materials, many of them related to black history.
But as the gentlemanly founder of the facility ushers me inside, I'm unexpectedly moved - as
a book lover, history buff and human being - by the fruits of one man's love of learning.

Grand Old Flags
We salute a glorious collection of
pennants that chronicle the Lone Star
State's rich history
What is it about flags? The strips of fabric
hold such simple symbols: Stars, crossed
bars, eagles, bold words
("Independence," "Come and Take It").
The designs are usually unsophisticated,
the colors basic. But flags endure because
of what they represent: a cause, a set of
ideals, a collection of people who once
were or continue to be. They help us
belong to something, or remember those
who did.

Ensuring security
New company in Forest finds a broad niche in shredding
documents-and there's a lot more to it than you might
imagine
By Betty M. van Iersel
If marketing can be defined as identifying and filling a need,
then a new start-up, Kodiak Shredding in Forest, has found
its niche at a time when security, government compliance,
practicality and volume of work have merged.
CEO Pete Thomas and COO Zach Shea are Midwestern
transplants, brothers-in-law who find that shredding
documents is a growing field, one where they have expertise
beyond what many business people know even exists.

collaboration between The British Library, Joint Information

Baptist church pastor Douglas Roy Ensbey, 53, was given a six-month wholly-suspended
sentence when he was convicted by a District Court jury in Brisbane earlier this year of
destroying evidence.
In 1996 Ensbey shredded the diary of a teenage girl which detailed the sex abuse she
suffered at the hands of one of his parishioners.

SRS to be conservative in releasing
records under new law
JOHN HANNA
Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. - State officials said Monday they will be conservative about releasing records under a
new law that grants the public access to some documents in cases where a foster child dies or is severely
injured because of abuse or neglect.
Previously, all foster care records have been closed. The law, which applies to children age 17 or
younger, takes effect Thursday.
