Dear Editor,

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.

There’s another new face around Rainy River and she is here to hopefully provide everyone with interesting and entertaining activities.

Over the weekend I learned that my new circular saw that I received for Christmas is not very good for cutting glass!!!!
