What I know for sure is that for the most part, I could take a lesson or two from the primary school of thought known as the three-year-old. Small children are grounding spirits of presence who are wise beyond measure. Or so I believe anyway. Sue Patton Thoele hit the […]
For anybody to get involved in the sport of fishing, they need somebody to take them out–to teach them and provide them with the opportunity to get a line in the water, whether it’s off a dock or in the boat. For me, my dad was huge in getting me […]
Technically, he’s back on the ice. But in reality, he never really left. Unless you’ve been living under a rock or isolated in a hunting cabin for the last few days, you already know by now that Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain Sidney Crosby returned to the NHL on Monday night in […]

Shallow-running, fat-bodied crankbaits do a great job of imitating fleeing crayfish, and they were our number-one lure choice when we started bass fishing. The first […]

I had a crazy week of organizing the sale of five of my purebred Hereford heifers. They left Sunday for Russia (yes, Russia) before heading to Kazakhstan. They will be quarantined near Toronto for 30 days, then they will fly from there (the plane holds nearly 200 head). We met […]
In the fall, the annual cycle of the seasons turns once more. And one of the great phenomena of this season is the migration of the birds. Stand on the shore of one of our northern lakes some quiet evening. You will hear hundreds of tiny chirps above you as […]

In the last three weeks, the Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service responded to three residential fire calls. During that same time period, the service responded to a number of other emergencies, as well as twice in one day to the local mill. Would your home or workplace pass a […]
I don’t watch baseball, but I do know that a baseball bat is supposed to be used in the game of baseball to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher. This is an open letter of sorts to the driver and his passenger who used a baseball bat to take […]
