What does Wrigley’s Gum, the Pied Piper, the Beatles and Elvis have in common? Funny you should ask. June 26 was the first time the Universal Product Code was scanned on a pack of gum in Troy, OH. History says that the Pied Piper actually lured 130 children away from Hamelin on this date in 1284. What he did with them is still a mystery. And the Beatles released their album, “A Hard Day’s Night.” Not to be overlooked, Elvis Presley performed publicly for the last time in Indianapolis, IN. A lot...
Remember when we were young and summer days were planned around baseball games, what time the pool opened, and our piggy banks funding the local ice cream shop. Sometimes, a financial endeavor was hosted in the driveway with lemonade to get more quarters for more ice cream. Simple, really. Sell something sweet to get something sweet after enjoying a sweet summer day full of activities. Life doesn’t have to be complicated. Getting something sweet doesn’t either. A trip down to the local ice cre...

Charlene Smith [email protected] The humble and reflective season of Lent is upon us. This time of the year, for 40 days, Christians reflect on all they have been given and at what cost. Some step up their appreciation by charitable giving, sacrificing something and fasting. Fasting was once an expected discipline of the Christian faith. The effort is still used to humble yourself in the eyes of God. As we move farther away from rules of religion and legalistic practices and...

On a Thursday night, long after school has ended, you may hear the sound of rock music emerge from the Pine Bluffs Junior/Senior High School.

The guitarists, bassists, drummers and vocalists within are students perfecting their skills in music. The students call it Jam Band. School rocks "Jam Band has always been a place for students who have a large inter...
Feb. 20 is denoted as the Day of Feasts in some Christian communities. Many years ago, there were so few saints named, they each had their own day. No problem and it kept it honorable and special to recognize those angels once among us. However, as time went on, more angels on earth changed into saints, more than 365, and, well, you do the math. Almost every day was a day of feasts for a saint. The earliest feast days of saints were those of martyrs, venerated as having shown for Christ the...

Is it feed a cold and starve a fever or feed a fever and starve a cold? Many of us grew up knowing that when we were sick, our loving caregivers would offer us 7Up and chicken noodle soup. There is some science behind it. But whether it cures you or just bubbles warm feelings through the crud by the loving care it represents is unclear. For years, people have turned to the soup as a remedy to treat the common cold. Some people say a good day of rest and chicken noodle soup will treat what ails...
Back on this date in 1965, "You've lost that lovin' feeling," topped the charts. Now, if you want to keep that lovin' feeling topping your charts, you might want to try a chocolate pie.

I have a simple dream. Someday I will cook for people who do not share the same DNA as I do and they will think it is yummy. They will pay me. They will come back again and again and I will make enough money to buy without worrying the cost. I have a dream. Dreams are simple.

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream and he didn't let anything stop him until... Full story

If your kitchen is as small as mine, nine ladies sitting let alone dancing might mean many bruised toes. Fortunately for the little piggies, I am not talking about bringing nine ladies to your kitchen to show off the latest cha-cha. Today is the ninth day of Christmas. The twelve days following Christmas Eve constitute the twelve days in Christianity. The carol is French in origin and first published in 1780. However, it was the English version by Frederic Austin that engrained the folk melody... Full story
If there's one downside to fabulous, food-filled holiday celebrations, it's the gurgles and groans of post-feasting indigestion. "We assume it's because we overate, but for a lot of people, that pain and sick feeling may not be about how much you ate but what you ate," said Kyra Bussanich, (www.kyrasbakeshop.com), three-time winner of The Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" and author of a just-released recipe book, Sweet Cravings: 50 Seductive Desserts for a Gluten-Free Lifestyle. "About 2 million...

What if I told you the core values to finding a better more meaningful life was in 130 pages of a quick read book?

Steve Bahmer and Ron Rabou have done just that. The book came after years of spending time together, realizing what was important to them and others by talking to groups on how to be "more effective... Full story
