Not that I’m against either winter activity in theory because the theory behind them is that they give humans a way to more easily travel across winter snow so we are better able to commune wit...
Laurel The Havre-Hill County Library has some great programs for young people. Children in one of the programs, Story Time, stayed late this week and made Christmas cards for soldiers stationed in Liberia. It is sort of a forgotten war these soldiers are taking part in.

After a slow start to the 2014-15 season, the Glacier Nationals of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League are picking up steam.
