In April of 2019, I wrote a blog about how musicians and bands came up with their names titled “Who is Jethro Tull”? Our world-famous webmaster told me that for some odd reason, people still look at this. So here is part two. As a teenager in the late 1960s, The Monkees were a hot […]

It’s that time of the year again… The time of cozy drinks, oversized sweaters, crisp air… and of course, tacky Halloween decorations. In fact, September 22nd is the first official day of autumn!

This last Saturday marks 20 years since the events of September 11th, 2001. So many facets of modern life changed as a result of 9/11 that it is difficult for many people to recall a world before the attacks took place. There are many lessons to be taken from 9/11, among the most important lessons […]

It comes as no surprise that over the last 20 years the United States has been at war in Afghanistan. During that time U.S. troops worked hard to build relationships and help support people in Afghanistan to rebuild their county. While this was occurring people in Afghanistan risked their lives and welcomed U.S. troops into […]

A fictional story based on true events By Stephanie It was a beautiful summer day. The sun shone, the birds chirped, the flowers bloomed, and a light breeze rustled the leaves on the trees. In the park, there were children playing, people and their dogs walking, Frisbees soaring, and picnics spread out on park […]

People who know me well know that beneath my thin veneer of cynicism lurks a person who cries easily. I’m talking bursting into tears when a female vice president is sworn in, when finding out that the very first Hmong American gymnast wins the all-around in gymnastics, or when she finds out that her favorite […]

In so many ways, 2020 was a bust, right? Certainly, the larger issues of death, illnesses, jobs lost, and businesses closing were the big picture but who did not miss their favorite outdoor activities? For me, it is all of the free outdoor music events that are so well attended in the Chippewa Valley. All […]
