My best friend Jim tells his story of battling with cancer after years of smoking pot. Jim has always had a close connection with nature and the out-of-doors. Unfortunately, for most of his life, he tied together the enjoyment of mother nature with his addiction to smoking Marijuana. This is a valuable story for anyone that has a habit of overindulging. The story was created using two interviews, one at Jim's office and another at his favorite place to enjoy nature. You won't forget this story of the heart.

The Ancient Practice Of EAR CANDLING (11/14/05)
Have you ever met a person who I would describe as a "Human EarWax
Machine"? Their ears produce so much ear wax that it causes all kinds
of problems from headaches to sinus infections.
Well, welcome to my family. My lovely wife Bette has had ear wax problems as far back as she can remember. She passed this wonderful trait along to our two children.

CORNER COPY... Cold Spring Record (11/16/05)
Voters once again have said a resounding “NO” to giving our school system more money. We can’t say we were too surprised when we consider the fact that this isn’t the first time. We’ve been asked several times “what do they (the voters) want?”
The obvious answer is “no more taxes”.
Another question that’s been repeated to us is “what went wrong?”

ROCORI vs Sartell Football Playoffs
ROCORI traveled to Sartell to take on the Sabres in the Section Semi-final game. It would be an ugly first half for ROCORI. Their defense would step up to the challenge and keep the Spartans in the game against a very difficult Sabre team.
It's a new half and ROCORI looked completely different. It was a half of unexpected. Brad Olson got injured and the Spartans had to bring in their third string QB, who brought them back from the dead. Derek Eisenschenk was the MVP for the Spartans in this game but they wouldn't be able to come from behind. Great season guys.
