“None of us knows what we are capable of until we are tested,” once said Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, as she reflected on her long career.

Despite decades of writing headlines, I still got severe writer’s block when trying to come up with a title for my own column. So, “Kate’s Column” will have to do. I’m not sure how often I will have something to say that’s worth your time to read, so don’t count on it every week. Every now and then I get a notion to say a few words about topics that mean something to me (it will never be about politics or sports). Needless to say, my opinion doesn’t necessarily reflect that of the publisher or owners of this newspaper. If it’s not your cup of tea, that’s okay – there are plenty of other things to read about in this newspaper.
