In a couple of schools in Barry County, such as Thornapple Kellogg High School and Hastings High School, many students have been either wearing material with the Confederate Flag or putting up the…

According to Milch’s (Hitler’s helping hand) scheme “if Hitler wanted to invade and occupy Britain, his best chance was in the traumatic period immediately following the fall of France” (Deighton & Hastings, 1980). The British defences were low at this time which would make it easier to invade some the sea. The next down fall seemed to be the Alderangriff (Eagle attack).

World War II was a very difficult time for almost everyone living in either the Allies’ or Axis’ countries, especially for people of Japanese descent living in Canada. The Japanese-Canadian internment is a defining moment in Canada because it shows how poorly the Canadian governments, politicians, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and labour unions treated Japanese-Canadians. They had no freedom; were incarcerated in internment, road, or prisoners-of-war camps; and lastly, were unequal…

William of Normandy created several large pieces of land that he gave to his warriors that fought bravely. These men became earls, barons, and dukes, also called tenants-in-chief. William then had them swear loyalty to him. They, in turn, did the…

So why is it that when women join a STEM field, they are met with bias at every turn, just because of their gender? Between 1998 and 2010, over half a million people from all over the world took what is known as the gender-science IAT (implicit-association test), which measures the strength of a person’s associations between…

A trip to Hastings or the library can turn in to a great adventure for us. Sometimes we even go to story time at our local public library. It has become something special my son and I are able to do together. He also relies on us to read to him every night. It is part…
