There are times when I find it hard to believe that global warming is coming our way. The last week of January and now the last four days of plunging temperatures and bitterly cold winds leads me to believe that if global warming is on its way, so is the next ice age.
People may tell me that we experienced weather like this when I was much younger. They may even try to convince me that as a carrier over 40 years ago, I had no problem coping with the cold harsh temperatures of winter.
I just can’t remember feeling so cold or getting chilled like I do today.

I have just spent the weekend at the Fort Frances Sportsplex assisting at a swim meet that attracted swimmers from Thunder Bay To Kenora and north to Red Lake. For many swimmers it was their first experience in competition.
Six year olds amazed both themselves and their coaches with their raw developing talent. Older swimmers have continued to improve.
