November 14, 2012 Christmas City of the North Parade gets under way on Friday. It will be Broadcast Live on KBJR 6 and Range 11 or online at: NorthlandsNewsCenter.com. So when I tell people KOOL 101.7 will be a part of it, I get a thousand questions. So here's the answers:
November 14, 2012 Students will find it easier to walk to Lincoln Park Middle School, thanks to a new trail connection that they and community volunteers will be building on Saturday, November 17th from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. The gravel footpath will connect the neighborhood just east of the school to the existing paved walkway that the ISD 709 school district constructed.
November 14, 2012 We've all heard that seat belts save lives. There is proof that if you wear your seat belt in your car your odds of making it through a car crash are greater than if you don't. What about seat belts on planes or trains?

October 24, 2012 When you listen to my morning show, I like to hi-lite kids doing good. I think there are a lot of great kids out there, it's just that the rotten ones get the screen time. Not the case with this kid.

October 17, 2012 With Gas so high these days, everyone is looking for ways to save a couple of coins here and there. Here are a couple hints for you to do that.
October 17, 2012 It takes a lot to scare me. I once dated a girl that loved scary movies too, and all we did was try to find movies that would scare each other.
