It’s a busy time in the bus garage
There is a giant puzzle, not quite finished, on a table in the offices of Marshall Lines. It is a fitting analogy for what life is like these days at the company, which provides bus service for the Farmington School District. With just a week to go before the start of school, the company is putting the finishing touches on the routes that will get students to school and home for the next nine months.

Sweet Serenity Massage: Right where she belongs
The way Shelly Connors sees it, she was born to be a massage therapist. It just took a while before she got around to doing it professionally.
Connors has loved giving massages for as long as she can remember. Even when she was a little girl, long before she knew a Swedish massage from a deep-tissue treatment, she loved giving back rubs and neck rubs. She liked helping people feel better. Relieve stress.

Column: Say goodbye to an old friend
Sunday was a sad day in my house. There were no tears. It was nothing like that. But there I spent some time recalling good memories as I bid a final farewell to a friend who had been with me for most of this decade. Sunday was the day I had to say good by to a bicycle that had carried me through seven years and more than 15,000 miles.By Nathan Hansen , September 03, 2010

Cool treats and community
Two Farmington churches are doing what they can to bring neighbors together, one cool scoop at a time.
Ever since the weather turned warm, Light of the World Church and Farmington Lutheran have teamed up for an event they call Ice Cream Summer. All summer long, the churches have encouraged their members to invite neighbors out to enjoy a frosty treat and spend a little time getting to know each other.
