It continues to be a new and interesting broadcasting ride for Cathy, that has come full circle here at Easy 101/Country 107-3.
Born and raised in Ingersoll in a big family among 5 brothers, Cathy landed her first full-time radio job here as fledgling news reporter.
It wasn't long before Cathy's career forayed into television, where she worked for more than 15 years as a successful anchor, host, reporter and producer. Her stops include tv stations in Wingham, Pembroke, Edmonton , Ottawa and Hamilton . Most recently, Cathy could be seen co-hosting CHCH Hamilton's Morning Live.
Finally saying a fond goodbye to broadcast news and moving back to our area to be closer to family and home, Cathy accepted an opportunity to add a new dimension to her broadcasting career as an on air personality with us. Cathy can be heard on both Country 107.3 and Easy 101. She is really enjoying this new role. She says her listeners are like friends – "Its great to just talk and share with them."
In her spare time, Cathy loves spending time with her husband and her dog, traveling, watching movies, trying new cookie recipes, painting, skiing and catching live music.
Blisters getting you down? It's that time of year when, as we do more outdoor work in the yard, and don those flip flops and sandals, that we get new blisters on our hands and feet.
Some tips from Livestrong.com on how to treat them. Hope you heal quickly :
Step 1
Wash the affected area. The first treatment for hand blisters should be to wash the hands and the blister with warm water and soap. Because the most common problem with blisters is infection, it is important to clean it to try to eliminate all bacteria.
Step 2
Disinfect the outside of the blister. The best way to do this is with iodine or alcohol, both of which will kill bacteria. Soak a cotton swab with either iodine or alcohol and rub it gently on the blister.
Step 3
Disinfect a needle. Your needle should be clean and sharp, and to sterilize it, immerse or rinse it in rubbing alcohol.
Step 4
Puncture the blister with the needle. Your goal should be to leave the skin over the blister largely intact (this will serve as protection and help it to heal), so try to puncture a few holes around the edges of the blister and let the fluid drain.
Step 5
Apply antibiotic ointment to the blister (available over the counter at drug stores). Cover the blister with a bandage.
Step 6
After several days, cut away the dead skin, using tweezers and a pair of scissors that have been sterilized in rubbing alcohol. Apply more ointment and a bandage until the area has healed completely.
