Be the first to comment!Library Chat: A long list of services provided at the library
By Medicine Hat News on May 11th, 2018
In my last column I asked “what is a library?” and answered “a free and open and friendly space for everyone that supports learning, culture, entertainment and community connections.” That sounds noble but a little vague. How exactly do libraries meet that lofty mandate? Here are just a few of the powerful and perhaps unexpected ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Rock Ramblings: Don’t carry Mom Guilt around; treat Mom like queen Sunday
By Medicine Hat News on May 10th, 2018
While this is only pure speculation, I’m convinced the Milky Way Galaxy and everything in it, including our blue planet, was created for the sole purpose of celebrating Momma’s Day. No one ever makes reference to “Father Nature” or “Father Earth” and for good reason; even the powers that be know better than to tick ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Eye on the Esplanade: Protecting treasures from the dangers of light
By Medicine Hat News on May 4th, 2018
We in the museum at the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre are often called by people looking for advice on how to preserve their own treasures. Whether it’s a family wedding dress, an heirloom quilt, or the painted wooden chest great-granddad brought “from the old country,” one piece of advice is almost always the same ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Rock Ramblings: Don’t forget to make Mom feel special on her big day May 13
By Medicine Hat News on May 3rd, 2018
“A mother is someone who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take.” Keep that in mind as Mother’s Day is just more than a week away. Do not forget!

By Chris Brown on May 3rd, 2018
cbrown@medicinehatnews.com @MHNBrown It’s “Family Feud” time. If you asked 100 people what the best days of their life were there’s a good chance high school will end up being No. 1 on the big board. If you asked 100 people what the most memorable decade for music was there’s a good chance the 1980s will ... Read More »
