               Have you ever wondered how was America made and why do we not see the stories of American history in the schools anymore?  Who were the pilgrims and founding fathers and what did they know that caused them to create this great country that has been considered the most powerful and prosperous throughout history?  Did God have a hand in it?

Apple Creek Bulk Food Company at 875 N. Main, Highway 89 in Willard is owned by Greg and Rachelle Arlint.  Their small business is unique in that it specializes in Amish goods.  A walk around the store is a treat as you will find such things as Amish made rockers, quilts, bulk foods, seasonings, candy, canned foods and a deli that serves meats, cheeses, ice cream and sandwiches.   There are many other items of interest and you will find value in the visit to this great little store.

Ogden City recruiting volunteers for Make-A-Difference Day May 8

Ogden City is now recruiting volunteers for the 6th annual “Make-A-Difference Day” on May 8, which will be the beginning of a several months-long community effort to clean and beautify the entire city.

My thoughts for several weeks now have been revolving around making choices that I can feel good about later.  I chose not to use the phrase 'no regrets' in the title because as hard as we may try, we will certainly fall short at times, but I know the peace that comes when I truly have done my best.

Name:  Joshua Peter Holmgren

Eagle’s Nest

Joshua Holmgren, age 14, earned the rank of Eagle Scout on December 29, 2013. He is the son of Loralie and David Holmgren of North Ogden. Joshua’s Eagle project took place at the North Ogden Elementary Park. He put a lot of work into weeding, painting and laying in gravel to make the park nice for all the people to enjoy. His scoutmasters are Norman Christensen, Paul Rohde. Joshua’s favorite merit badge was rock climbing. 

How to get in the Eagles’ Nest: 

Dear Dave,

My husband works construction, so we barely scrape by during the winter months. Should we build an emergency fund for the slow times?

Cathy

Dear Cathy,

I think that’s a great idea. Although, I’d probably call it something other than an emergency fund. How about a squirrel fund? Squirrels need to have nuts saved up for winter, and in your case you’d be setting money aside during the summer to get you through the slow winter months.
