Molly Carlson took part in a diving competition in Thunder Bay over the weekend, where she won three gold medals and topped three of her previous provincial records.
Molly, who will compete at the nationals in July, has many aunts, uncles, and cousins here in Rainy River District, as well as Grandma Pam Bujold and Great-Grandma Ethel Bujold.
Let’s all hope Molly continues with her excellence in diving.

Sympathy to the family and friends of Angus Hyatt, who lived many years in Burriss and raised his family there.
He always has been a friendly, caring man. One of those people that when you left after talking to him, you always felt better about life.
Flinders’ Apartments just won’t be the same without him.
Our community is thinking of all the “lives touched” by his passing.
