    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|May 3, 2023

    I got out with the dogs last week for our first long walk of the year. A couple of us are showing our age. I limp a bit more than I used to, and although I didn’t think it possible, Ace has gotten even slower. Never a fast dog, Ace has paced himself his entire life. It’s served him well. With the exception of a slower gait and a graying muzzle, you’d never guess he’s almost 12. I think. He might be going on 11. A middle dog, he always slipped under the radar, hunting behind older, better-trained...

If there was no money to build a church, services were held in homes or schools. The Midale Church was built in 1920. It was known as the Margaret Boles Memorial...
