Introduction
As our century comes to a close,
our thoughts reflect on how our lifestyles have changed during
the last 100 years. From milking the family cow to having our
milk delivered to shopping at our local supermarket, our changing
lifestyles are reflected in what we have become today. This special
commemorative series will look at how our lives and communities
have changed over the century. We will look at a variety of issues
that have impacted our lives, including transportation, commerce,
agriculture, communications, sports and recreation, religion,
electronics, education and politics. We will take a look at major
news events of the century and the local impact in the lives
of the people from our own community. We will talk to area residents
from a variety of generations. This series is a "once in
a millennium" opportunity for us and for the participating
business to celebrate this event. We hope our print editions
will be kept and remembered for many years to come.
