Article content Hello, Kenora, I’m very excited to introduce myself as a multimedia journalist for the Miner and News. With its history dating back well over a century, I feel both honoured and lucky to contribute to this great newspaper’s legacy. In telling Kenora’s stories, I promise to do my best to inform, excite and inspire you, and maybe even make you laugh from time to time. As a kid, I used to help deliver copies of the Miner and News to folks on Park Street, which, come to think of it, may very well have been my first job. Either way, I was born and raised here. In fact, if you’re reading this I’m willing to bet that you’ve probably tried some of my Aunt (or “Chocha,” considering my family is Ukrainian) Kelly’s pierogis and cabbage rolls, or maybe even some of my Grandma (Baba) Rose’s before her. Speaking of my Baba, I’ve still got the plaque awarded to her by Coun. Mort Goss many years ago for her community service; she used to visit and bring bags of candy to residents at the hospital to help make them feel better. My mother has since begun to continue the tradition, joined by her husband Alex Call (writer of the hit song 867 5309) as they sing and play the guitar together.
