Spring should be the happiest time of the year. And then, of course, close behind would be early summer. Everything is green and lush. Bursting buds are followed by gorgeous pink and yellow blossoms. Birds warble and sing, and dart about with brightly-coloured feathers. The days are long. The nights […]

How many walleye anglers out there have sat through countless seminars and watched TV programs where others have told us that when we fish for walleyes we have to fish them very slowly? Sometimes it is necessary to fish very slowly for walleyes, especially when they’re inactive. But there are […]
With the weight of both teams on her shoulders, Sarah Noonan calmly banged home a shot in the third round of penalty kicks to give the Muskies a 1-0 win over the Kenora Broncos in the NorWOSSA final here last Thursday evening. The victory also propelled the black-and-gold into the […]

Dear sir: It is surprising the short memories people have. A few short years ago, we had a Peterson government. Our economy was in such a poor condition that people voted overwhelmingly to get rid of them. They then voted overwhelmingly and elected Bob Rae to govern. Things then got […]
Dear sir: I have found $300 million–given away of education taxes! Gratuities! Some 10,000 retiring (baby-boomer) teachers, plus board employees, given tips of 230 “unused sick days” at about 50 percent ($30,000).
