One of the reasons for the busy bass tournament schedule across Northwest Ontario in September is because the fishing is so good. It’s also a short season and there are only so many weekends to host events before the weather really turns. This past weekend there were tournaments at Shoal […]

We sold 934 head at the Stratton Sales Barn on Saturday for $1,425,348.76. The hard work and financial support are really proven its worth. The newly installed tag reader had amazing accuracy and tags read quickly. We were slightly short staffed but like always those that show up put in […]
I have just had installed a new extremely high efficiency gas furnace. It will reduce my greenhouse gas emissions. I teased the installers telling them that in their working careers they will be replacing that furnace with an electrical unit to fully eliminate the natural gas emissions from my household. […]
I sometimes think we are of the mindset that previous generations solved everything, and it should be clear sailing for us, as though all the hard parts are behind us. We are annoyed when we are confronted with pandemics that limit our movement and freedom. “How did this happen,” we […]
Reminiscing about the 1972 Summit Series has ended. Until the next “hockey anniversary” of when Canada met Russia, it’s likely to be ignored, and by then great hockey coaches from both sides will be gone, and forgotten. Two were not involved in the Canada-Russia Series but should’ve been. One, Anatoli […]
I love autumn. The colours seem late this year, as if Mother Nature can’t bear to let go of summer, wanting to extract every milligram of rest and relaxation from the season before she gets busy with the obligation of preparation, of readiness for a season that knocks us around […]
It is sad to see the “Hog Fuel” generator torn down and being hauled away as scrap metal. The multi-million-dollar investment by both the Province of Ontario and Resolute Forest Products was built to reduce paper manufacturing costs and extend the life of the “Kraft Mill” and paper mills in […]

So much happened last week! Bradley and I finished combining spring cereals on Monday and when I came in, I saw that my boyfriend/partner had called. I knew that wasn’t a good sign. I returned the call to find out that I had a dead animal. I was shocked and […]
For those who garden because they love flowers, they want their gardens to spill over with blossoms from early spring until the snow flies. In order to achieve this, many gardeners will resort to planting only annual flowers or interspersing annuals with perennials. But now there are some perennials available […]
Many children, and even a percentage of adults, have never had fresh pasta. All they know is that pasta comes dry in a box or bag. Not only is the texture of cooked fresh pasta superior to dry, the process of making it can be quite liberating. Making a well […]
While most of the bass tournaments across the region happen on the bigger waterbodies, like Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods, there are a few that happen each year on smaller lakes. This past weekend, the annual Crow Lake Classic was put on again out of Hanson’ Hideaway Lodge […]
