    Pam Burke|Updated Apr 22, 2016

    Marriage experts say that one of the keys to a long and successful marriage is to keep a little surprise, some mystery, in your relationship: My husband, John, surprised me Saturday morning by having what could best, and most respectfully, be described as a conniption fit. I had carried three long 2-by-4 studs, slung onto my shoulder, for a short jaunt of about 70 yards. John felt that it was detrimental to my health to carry a load of wood in this fashion, and he expressed...

  • Turn your eyes

    Updated Apr 22, 2016

    As I think about what we have done here in the last month at The Salvation Army Havre Service Center, my mind goes to the Annual Meeting/Volunteer Appreciation Dinner.

    Chris Peterson|Updated Apr 22, 2016
