Special flag

Rainy River Mayor Debbie Ewald, left, accepted a flag from the Kenora-Rainy River Alzheimer Society last week in recognition of January being Alzheimer Month. Presenting the flag on behalf of the Society was local Alzheimer's fundraiser Bob Johnston, right. Usually the flag is flown in front of the town office in January. However, due to the excessive snowfalls this year it will be on display inside the town office as crews could not get equipment near the flag pole to raise it.
