A homeowner in the east mountains has posted a warning on her door for anyone thinking about breaking into her place. She's fired up over the rash of home burglaries and is now working on ways to stop them. Joe vigil is here with our top story. This is the note a burglar would see at one resident's home. The woman who put it up says it's no joke. Breaking into debbie battaglino's east mountain house might be the last home a burglar wants to hit. Asked her to read the note she put up on her door. "beware. Due to the recent break-ins we don not answer the door. If you are a home invader, please leave a contact number for someone to come pick up your body parts." So how serious is she about that threat? "i have a baseball bat a golf club, other assorted incendiary weapons of mass destruction ...i'm not going to be a victim. I am not going to be a victim." Residents tell us burglars just hit three more homes tuesday. 2 in the tablazon subdivision and one home in the sierra vista south area. From january to june -- deputies say burglars hit 70 homes throughout the east mountains. From june to now one hundred homes. That's why battagilino is trying to get organized. Instead of using a little notebook to keep track of suspicious vehicles and people...she wants to get a webpage going where people can report suspicious activity for everyone to see. "where people can coordinate information, not point fingers and accuse people. Just say i saw a vehicle i'm not familiar with, a day, time date tag number." She also hopes law enforcement will share information on the webpage about crime... To see if patterns come up. She hopes that will help curb the break-ins instead of having to take drastic action herself. Residents tell me those break-ins that just happened --happened on trash day. And some wonder if thieves are looking for homes where trash bins sit out all day -- giving the appearance that no one is home. Battaglino actually drives around a puts trash bins away for people.

Williston State College is growing... That will be easy to see very soon with a simple visit to the campus where expansion is the theme right now. One project is already underway and two others are getting ready to break ground. Over the next three days, we'll take you to W-S-C and see what is in the works... We start tonight with the new science addition that will bring Williston State into the 20th Century. Here is Perry Olson. (ns of Lance) Professor Lance Olson likes to imagine what will soon be...because what is now...just doesn't cut it. (Lance Olson - Physics/Math Professor) "For us it is going to be nice. Our original labs were built in the 60s and haven't been changed since then. This gives us flexible labs space that can change for the needs of our students." When they break ground on this new science center in the spring of next year they will be taking the steps toward four new labs that will be high tech and have the ability to connect with other institutions... (Lance Olson - Physics/Math Professor) "Physics we are actually looking at pairing up with four year colleges in the state to offer more physics and engineering that could be offered in this end of the building." That ability to join forces should help attract science majors interested in getting their college career started at a two year school... (Lance Olson - Physics/Math Professor) "A lot of them that we get now who want to go into the sciences will be able to take lots of their sciences here now. They can get their full two years of sciences with the possibility of upper classes brought in from other four years schools now." That growth will no doubt be popular and the ag department will enjoy the new space too because they will be moving into the old science area. The new science center should be ready for the fall of 2011. Perry Olson, KX News Tomorrow night after your Thanksgiving meal has settled we'll look at the Career and Technical Center that has broken ground at Williston State. That is Thursday at 10 which by the way, is the
