Ken's Korner

Last Wednesday members of four communities gathered to learn about a proposal to build a duplex for locum doctors and medical students.

Well last week I definitely proved that I am human. If you missed it, we had a typographical error on our front page, in the lead story, no less.

It almost seemed criminal!
That was how I felt as I spent Thanksgiving Monday getting my place ready for winter.

It is hard to believe it has been 100 years since the Great Fire of 1910.
As a kid I heard stories about how a big fire wiped out Baudette and Spooner and the mills in Rainy River as well.

While the crowd seemed to be as large as ever the final weigh-ins at the RRWT this year just did not seem to excite people.

We are only days away from the 12th annual Rainy River Walleye Tournament.

There is a fever spreading across the Rainy River District and the only antidote will be administered on October 25, 2010 when the electorate casts their ballots.

Today marks the end of August and for me it is the end of summer.

I have always heard that as one gets older the aches and pains become more prevalent and in the past few years I have come to accept that I am going to have to buck up and accept them as part of my life.
As a young boy I could run like the wind. I remember participating in track and field and having great speed. But at the time the price of speed came with sore knees and ankles. The doctor told me I would likely have bad knees all my life and that they would get worse as time wore on.

I have just finished reading my boss's column (down below) as I start writing this Korner.
It is truely amazing how much technological advances have come.
