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!

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.

Finicky Fish Eater? You’ll Love this Broiled Cod Recipe from Taste of Home

I am a finicky fish eater!  I know it's good for me, one of the healthiest proteins to eat, but I don't like the fishy taste.  While I was on vacation, I found this recipe from Taste of Home that boasted a non-fishy flavor.  I gave it a shot with frozen cod fillets and LOVED it! (just couldn't bring myself to get fresh cod from the glass case, that will be my next hurdle).
