Anyone who is around the water at all knows the Kingfisher. He seems to be just about everywhere where there are fish.

There was an interesting article that came across the wire service last week. It found that young people were more likely to text one another than to call them. Texting has become the new way of communicating.
Bell Canada used to have pay phones throughout the community and anywhere you travelled you would see a pay phone. Today those phones have all but disappeared.
I found it rather difficult to understand that the letters on a phone were more appreciated than a phone call and that young people preferred to communicate that way. I guess I am not alone.

Dear Editor,
I wanted to share with the people of Rainy River what some of our children from Riverview School are spending their summer holidays doing?

As we near the end of August many of the usual ‘end of summer’ traditions are starting to take place. Parents are completing their back to school shopping, university and college students are preparing to head to their schools and everyone is looking towards Labour Day - the last long weekend of the summer. For many tourism-related businesses in our riding, this time of year is also when they start to take stock of how their peak season has gone and how this will affect their bottom line.

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.

Who could pick up a 1,500 lbs. fish shack and move it 50 yards in a matter of seconds? Mother Nature! That’s who!
