Last Thursday we had a truly extraordinary program as Cindy Buscarow shared her family's Holocaust history with a full audience. There was silence as she spoke of her family's attempt to rescue her grandparents and great-grandparents, followed by their realization that they could not escape. They were fully aware of what was happening to the German Jews in 1943 and what their fate would be. Cindy shared heart-breaking letters as they said goodbye to their children and wished them the best. It wa...

Peanut and chocolate has always been a tasty combination. The saltiness of peanuts pairs well with the sweetness of chocolate, which is why many desserts feature this combination of flavors. Cakes and cookies may be prime outlets for pairing peanuts and chocolate, but so can homemade candies, like chocolate bark. Caramelized Peanut Milk Chocolate Bark from Chocolate Obsession (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) by Michael Recchiuti and Fran Gage mixes peanut butter right into the chocolate to give it an...
Rosie, or more correctly Rosa Lynda Cabellharo, was born April 1, 1927, to Daniel and Felice Cabellharo. Proud to belong to one of the original Mexican families who inhabited the small town of Farmersburg, Iowa, Rosie was now about to turn 15. The Cabellharos were good Roman Catholics; that, coupled with their ethnicity, meant quinceanera! In a nation emerging from the greatest depression ever known, as well as still reeling from Prohibition, Farmersburg was not ready to send any of her sons to...
Whitefish Lake was officially recognized as a state park in 1960 but has been a water-based recreation source for thousands of years. The lake was named "Whitefish Lake" back in the 1850s but got its name from the Salish in the area, who referred to it as eplxyu, meaning "has whitefish." That fish is Prosopium williamsoni, or more commonly the Mountain Whitefish. A mature woodland is featured on this beautiful and secluded campground and beach. This park is your base camp for adventure....

Hope’s legacy of service lives on today through the Bob Hope Legacy Reading Program. Bringing storytime on-demand around the globe, the program c...

Firefighters called an ambulance to treat Allen for smoke inhalation, and Allen was further treated...
John Charles Winchester was born into it, you might say. On a cold November day in 1897 Charlie, as he became known, was the fifth son of Charles and Edith Winchester. Considering the Winchester family's military history, it came as no surprise when Charlie joined the ranks 20 years later after the situation in Europe had heated to the point where someone felt they needed to kidnap a VIP in order to get their way. However, as we're not there quite yet, let's get back to Charlie and how he grew...

The scammer may also seek credit card or debit card information over the phone. Anyone receiving a suspicious or aggressive call s...

Just like people, perennials need nutrition to grow and bloom optimally. This nutrition can be provided in the form of fertilization. But how and when is this best done? Basic requirements: The basic requirements of perennials are light, heat, water, and nutrition. A part of the nutrition is already present in the soil in the form of minerals; for the other part, plants depend on fertilization. Fertilize twice a year: in spring and in late summer. Extra boost: Spring fertilizing is the most...
