Drop in at the library to get all of the details from Teresa. The program runs to Feb. 28.

A great book to purchase by a local Rabbit Lake boy is hot off the press. Len Kuffert is a professor at the University of Manitoba and has recently written Canada Before Television: Radio, Taste, and the Struggle for Cultural Democracy. He was interviewed on a Saskatoon radio station Jan. 12 and that is what caught my attention. It is about the impact of radio in its earliest days. Len is the son of Leo and Darlene Kuffert and many would also remember his deceased grandma Ruth Helfrich also of Rabbit Lake.
