Cathy Kates

I have been working in the broadcasting industry in Northland radio for 16 years. My life has been an "open-book", sharing trials, tribulations and every day life experiences, because YOU are my friends. I have compassion for people and animals. That has lead me to be involved with many different non-profit agencies on a local and national level. I am a board member for the Northern Light's Foundation, an organization that grants money to families with children who have cancer or a catastrophic disease. For the past 13 years I have been on the Thanksgiving Day Buffet Committee, responsible for feeding over 3,000 needy families in the Northland, a full Thanksgiving meal at the local Convention Center. I don't limit my involvement to large non-profit organizations, I also attend the home-town meatball and spaghetti dinners and benefits. That's where my connection grows stronger with you on a face-to-face level, and we become family. I am also the Public Affairs Director for Townsquare Media, so if you have a benefit or non-profit event you would like on our Community Calendar, make sure to email me the information. Thanks for waking up with me every morning, I'm always here for you......always a phone call, or an email away.  Hugs!

Do You Need a Dog License in the City of Duluth? Yes, and for Chickens, Bees and Whole Lot More!

After getting a new puppy, the question came up, do you need to register your pet with the City of Duluth?  After research, I found you do, and for bees and chickens, if you plan to keep them too!  Plus, if you want a dance hall or plan on running a coin operated device.  There's a license for just about everything you want to do or own and some of them left me scratching my head!

Physicist Tackles the Cookie VS Creme Saga Invents World’s First Oreo Cookie Separator [Video]

When I was young I did what most other kids did, I pulled the ole' Oreo apart and scraped the creme off with my teeth before dunking the crisp chocolate cookie in a glass of milk. (Oreo ice cream/shakes weren't around yet)!  As I got older, my taste changed and I started to like to eat my Oreo as a whole.  Apparently this incredibly intelligent man's taste hasn't changed, so he took his talent as a physicist and invented a machine that will do the taxing task of separating cookie from creme.
