This time of year has always been exciting for me. The cold weather has finally given up (mostly) and it’s just nice to be outside. There are some fishing options still available and if you’re like most of us, you can probably find a bunch of jobs to do around […]
It happened that I arrived in Montreal, my new home, eight games before the baseball season ended in 1972. That gave me an opportunity to witness two historic events at Jarry Park — Bill Stoneman’s second no-hitter and, more significantly, Jackie Robinson’s last visit to his adopted city. In both […]
It is a tradition of almost 60 years. From many… one. There is strength in numbers and when numbers come together wonderful things can happen. When members of Emo’s business community got together in the mid 1960’s and talked about the importance of working together on one weekend in the […]
Spring Fever Days takes place April 14 and 15. As always there promises to be something for everyone. Be sure to register for Emo Chamber Bucks – there’s a $1,000 worth of draws to be held this year. Draws take place Saturday at the Nestor Falls Marine Boat show at […]
I am pretty sure we will all agree that this weather is good for the soul! I find myself feeling guilty that I am not outside, but we are limited on what we can do right now. I am limited to making little drains with my boots hoping the water […]
I’m writing this on Easter Weekend. Traditionally a time of renewal in our society no matter your personal and political beliefs…. and there’s quite a variation in that area. Let’s look at a few of them across our continent. “The weather on Good Friday will be the forecast for the […]
I was listening to CBC Radio the other day, listening to the tale of the twenty-six letters that we now call our alphabet. The program was originally broadcast in 2007 and this was a re-broadcasting from And Sometimes Y with Russell Smith. The program was interesting for sure, with details […]
Dahlias are considered one of the most spectacular garden flowers as they can provide the colour and excitement of exotic species that we are unable to plant in our zone. There are thousands of varieties of dahlias that range, from the showy dinner-plate size to the bright, little single ones. […]
Spring is always an indicator of halibut season, and this recipe is one of our favorite halibut recipes for the grill. Alternatively, you can cook these pouches in the oven at 450°F – 475°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Also, the halibut can be substituted with any white fish if […]
Much of my love for ice fishing comes from getting to spend time on the ice this time of year. It’s enjoyable being out on the ice when you don’t have to be bundled up in full winter gear and the fishing can be really good late in the season. […]
The problem I have with the 2022-23 Boston Bruins is the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens. At the risk of sounding like somebody who has that everything-was-better-in-my-day attitude, Boston’s assault on the National Hockey League record book is a little out of context. As the Bruins were racing towards all-time records for […]
