3 Brothers Family Pizza collecting care packages for overseas battalion

Brian Clum: “I’ve been deployed twice. I know what it’s like after the holidays. It’s a long period.”
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, January 16, 2020

Brian Clum knows the feeling of being deployed away from home during and after the Christmas holidays. 

“I’ve been deployed twice. I know what it’s like after the holidays. It’s a long period,” said Clum. “I want soldiers to know that they are thought of and appreciated.”

As a retired 31-year armed services veteran, the owner of 3 Brothers Family Pizza decided to do something about it.

This winter he and his wife, Kelly, started an organization called Friends of 1-145 AR RGT (EIN 84-3584886).

That’s a long title that translates in support of their son’s  (Corp. Matthew Clum, Ada HS graduate) battalion currently deployed overseas.

Who was Miss Muffet anyway?

Why we read nursery rhymes to our children
Posted by LizGH on Wednesday, January 15, 2020

By Liz Gordon-Hancock
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man. Bake me a cake as fast as you can...
Humpty dumpty sat on a wall; Humpty dumpty had a great fall...

I'm reading these Mother Goose rhymes to my two-year-old, as part of his bed-time stories.

Have you ever stopped to think about these nursery rhymes and what these stories or words mean?

So many of these rhymes just don't make sense: Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the what?

Others are a little sinister, like the one about Peter, the pumpkin eater, and whatever he did with his wife.
