Words mean things. And Samantha Turner should know that better than anyone. Associate editor of the Flanders Herald, she's buried herself in word-smithing for the better part of a decade as she labors at her father's newspaper.

Oh, yes, those infamous words: "Troy Roberts, I wouldn't marry you if you were the last cowboy in Texas!" Well, we'll see about that…
