The Owls are at it again! The sports teams are still doing very well on the courts.

I grew up on the 800 block of Third Street in the East End of Fort Frances. I think that our home was the third of fourth built on the street. As a youngster, I was able to supervise the construction of all the other homes that were built along the block.
Once in school, the ending of the school year announced a new construction season.
Stan Dolny, whose shop was located at the corner of Second and Frenette was hired to build many of the homes. He also built several on speculation.

If I had a trainer, they would tell me that I should warm up before raking and bagging leaves. That it would be a good idea to stretch my arm muscles, my back muscles and leg muscles and that a careful warm up should take place before tackling the leaves in my yard.

Alas, none of that happened on Sunday. As Sunday morning ended with its focus on pets, I looked at the weather channel and glanced out doors to see if it was raining. On arriving back home late Saturday afternoon, I paid close attention to the mat of leaves covering the driveway and back yard.
