So our studio was graced on Monday morning by Carolyn Cross and Donna Cross, mother-in-law of Carolyn of The Sewing Studio in St. Johnsbury and mother of Jamie Cross, big executive dude at E-H-V Weidmann.  Carolyn says Donna, who is here for Thanksgiving week, is a darn good cook, which begs the title question today.  The Cross [...]

The week in review

November 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Around here, the seasons change in remarkably speedy fashion.  On Tuesday, it was 62F, the sun was out and it still felt (and smelled) like autumn.  By Friday, the temperatures in the colder hollows (look it up) was in the single numbers, and the forecast high for Saturday was 22.  Farenheit.  Whew.  We adjust, we [...]

A different approach to high school

November 21st, 2008 · No Comments

If you are from a big city, your high school graduating class may have numbered in the thousands.  Even here in the Northeast Kingdom, our local high schools have between six hundred and one thousand students.  Except for the East Burke School, where the current enrollment is…eleven.
They would like to get to twenty-five students, and [...]

Opening day at Burke Mountain

November 19th, 2008 · No Comments

The boys from Burke Mountain were here today with news of humming snow-guns and hopes for an early opening day. Burke spokesman David Gwatkin and operations manager Dick Andross say they’re now looking to open the slopes in East Burke on December 6th. That’s due in part to a favorable weather forcast that predicts cold [...]

Another slippery commute in the Kingdom this morning. Motorists say the Route-2 corridor was especially hazardous is several locations. We haven’t gotten much snow yet but the nights have been pretty chilly leading to icy conditions across the region.

The week in review

November 14th, 2008 · No Comments

The week was full of more political news and more difficult economic news, and in general, we chose to ignore it all on the air.  Instead of candidates, we heard comedy.  And a couple of Canadians.  Head to PODCASTS and enjoy some mindless fun.  Next week…how you can become a member of the Manitoba Moose [...]

No pictures will be shown to protect their identities

November 12th, 2008 · No Comments
