Kids are bombarded by many things nowadays.So much more information available at a touch of the finger. They spend hours playing video games, watching TV, playing sports, texting, and on the computer. Only a couple of minutes each day can help prevent a lifetime of problems.

I am astonished to learn of how many Northlanders there are that are in need of food.  Not just during the holidays, but on a day to day basis.  I learned that many of them are our neighbors and many are children.  The late Patrick Plys and his family saw the need and with their direction, ambition and passion, the Project Joy Backpack Program was introduced in our area.  You can help by attending

I have had the honor and opportunity to visit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital many times in my broadcast career and each time I do, I am amazed at the progress that is made in researching pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases.  This year, I was enthralled to be introduced to the Beam of Hope.  THIS is an amazing tool that will be used to save lives and just another reason why beco

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!  I had the honors of blowing the first whistle at the Twin Ports Junior Roller Derby vs the North East Roller Derby Youth.  I knew very little about the sport as I walked through the doors of the World of Wheels on Sunday night.  In about half an hour I found myself cheering them on and counting the laps of the jammer!

Kids always want to help, especially in the kitchen.  Use their enthusiasm to help you with breakfast and you get the morning off!  Taste of Home has an easy, fun to make recipe for you to try, it's called Toad in a Hole.  Enjoy!
