February 13th is the 44th day of the year. There are 321 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Winter Weather Advisory issued by Environment Canada is still in effect for Chatham-Kent and most of Ontario.

Snow fall is tapering off at the moment. Plows have been out on the main routes, but they’re still slick. Side streets will be the last to be cleared.

Another round of snow is heading our way this weekend. The heaviest snowfall of this storm will be on Sunday morning.

Long weekend on deck and plenty of chances to hit the ice for a skate, for free:

Joey Bats will be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame this summer.

On Wednesday they announced the class of 2025. Six new people will be inducted, including former Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista.

Other inductees include former major league left-hander Erik Bedard, Canadian Junior National Team head coach Greg Hamilton.

The Chatham Coloured All-Stars failed to garner the 75% support needed from Hall of 24-member selection committee to be inducted. The team made history in 1934 as the first Black team to win an Ontario Baseball Amateur Association championship.

The induction ceremonies will take place on Saturday, June 7th. The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame is located in St. Marys, Ontario.

Nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2025 were announced yesterday. Here’s the rundown:

This year’s first timers are: Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Maná, Outkast, Phish, and Chubby Checker.

Chubby’s is 83 years old, and he’s been living off two hits for the past 60-plus years: The Twist and Let’s Twist Again. But he’s been wanting in the Rock Hall for a long time. In 2001, he took out a full-page ad arguing for his inclusion. In 2002, he protested outside the induction ceremony when he didn’t get in.

The rest of this year’s nominees are: Mariah Carey, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Oasis, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes.

The Class of 2025 will be announced in April, and the induction ceremony will take place next fall in Los Angeles.

Happy World Radio Day! (It’s a real thing!)

This years theme is Radio and Climate Change.

At the global level, radio remains the most widely consumed medium. This unique ability to reach out the widest audience means radio can shape a society’s experience of diversity, stand as an arena for all voices to speak out, be represented and heard.

Radio continues to be one of the most trusted and used media in the world.

World Radio Day was proclaimed in 2011 by UNESCO and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as a UN International Day.
