While doing research at the library last week, I had the privilege to meet two young (and aspiring) individuals that were proof that there are still those who believe in a few things, one of those being patriotism.

In 1977, Malta first graders were asked what Christmas meant to them. Luke Brown noted that “it is good to give presents. Christmas is love,” while Rhonda Dalby wrote, “I love Jesus. I love God. Christmas means you can play with toys, I like Santa.” Saco first grader Marty Jensen noted, ...

While some families pass along traditions, there are many who do not know of any type of celebration other than what they experience as December rolls around. This story is the sharing of Christmas's...
Brrr...it’s definitely winter in Montana. Time to circle the table and play cards. There is a legend that says cards came to America with Christopher Columbus. Sailors are a superstitious lot, and it seems the voyage of discovery had bad luck following it on the sea. Looking for a culprit to blame some of the men decided that playing cards on the ship had brought bad luck! So, over the side of the ship the cards were thrown. Luckily, for all of us, one sailor must have secretly held back a deck of cards and so, cards came to America. Stay w...
