Interestingly, the game Shanighai Rummy was never introduced to me before. This week I was taught the game and I do believe it will take me some time to get the hang of it. Beginner’s luck was not with me, as my final score was 360 while the winning score was 55. Looking forward, I think I may have to try my hand at learning whist and relearning pinochle.

A celebration of Mental Health Month is set for the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, May 30. Organizers say the event will be staged “much like a health fair with information tables available all in one location. The fair will be followed by a movie and then a barbeque dinner.” Jana McPherson-Hauer, Blaine County Public Health Nurse, said, “We often hear about how ‘resource poor’ our area is for mental health services. Part of the purpose of this celebration is to emphasize and showcase what we’re doing well for mental health awareness a...
THAT in the spring of 1919, amidst complete devastation, the poppies bloomed in abundance on the battlefields of France where so many of our men had fallen in battle, and that replica of this poppy has become the Memorial Flower of the American Legion Auxiliary?

THAT the American Legion Auxiliary adopted the poppy as its Memorial Flower at its organizing...

It was 28 years ago that Microsoft first added solitaire to 3.0 Windows. When I read the announcement about yet another...

His topic was “Identity Theft, SCAMS and Identity Protection and Recovery.” Center Director Kristi Norby said, “We only planned for a short presentation before we served lunch.
