 As we embark on the holiday season, our thoughts are filled with images of gathering around a table with relatives and loved ones. While we’ll spend plenty of time at shopping malls and parties in the coming weeks, the most festive and warming holiday setting remains the home.

 Thank you to all the people and businesses that made Cedar Grove Elementary School’s Scrapbook Weekend such a success. Cedar Grove School appreciates all the support, donations and work that made the weekend so much fun.

It cost at least $806 billion dollars. There was more than 36,0000 American casualties, including 4,400 fatalities. At least there is one thing to be thankful for. The American servicemen and women will be home for the holidays.

  August 9th will forever live in infamy in my family. That day my sister, Karen was killed by her husband. Although he told many that she wouldn’t leave him alive, no one believed him.
