Yes, we are going to have a heavy sports emphasis, ... We want to have news from every level -- from the pros to Little League.

The reaction has been really good, ... We are getting it from all corners -- the business community, response to the sports section and the fact that it is a community paper.

Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.

I'm really excited about the news. Broadcasting sports is something I've always wanted to do. When I heard about the Sea Dogs coming into the QMJHL, I sent in my resume. It was just Tuesday that everything was finalized.

I've covered sports as news for more than 20 years. I've focused on the political, racial and ethical aspects. The same principles apply whether it's a steroids dealer or an arms dealer.

I'm so thankful the Park District is doing this, ... Rockford is such a great sports town and has a great golf history. It's a great idea to recognize some of the people who were so good in the game, and to have one of them be Ken is really neat.
