I remember when Hallowe’en was a big deal, before I worried about my teeth or my children’s teeth, before I was aware of the not-so-nice people who tampered with candy to do harm. When I was growing up, our costumes were usually created from something we found around the house, […]
As we travelled across the prairies this past week, Marnie and I couldn’t help but see the difference in crop harvesting and the impact weather has played on this year’s crops across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Rainy River District is not alone in suffering from too much moisture during the […]
One of the reasons that I enjoy fishing so much is because of where I live. We’re blessed here in Sunset Country with so many great fishing opportunities for a variety of species. While bass fishing is my favourite activity on the water I do fish for everything that swims […]

Here is hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We had one day with no moisture, but it returned with its ugly face again. Since it started to rain on Aug. 17, we have had 433.5 mm or 17.34 inches. That is the amount that we should receive through our […]
I haven’t always known myself very well. For some of us, it takes a lifetime to figure out the intricacies of who we are, but for many years I have known I cannot listen to call-in radio programs. I’ve tried, many times, especially where I might garner some various perspectives […]
