Two weeks ago, the Muskie senior boys’ basketball team won their first-ever Kenora Invitational Tournament crown. They followed that up last weekend by winning the tournament title in Winkler, Man., then proceeded to upset the International Falls split squad of junior and senior varsity players 71-61 here Monday night. Not […]
The Sunset Country Ford Mustangs dropped a 2-1 decision to Dryden in the semi-finals here Sunday morning to get knocked out of their own ‘AA’ Atom tournament Cody Szachury and Marion Gardner scored first-period goals to stake Dryden to a 2-0 lead. Michael Spencer, assisted by Scott Howarth, tallied with […]
As 15,846 spectators paid their final respects to Maple Leaf Gardens last Saturday night, two of those sitting in the “grays” made the trip from Fort Frances. Herb Cridland, who “never missed a game” as a “subscriber” to the Leafs from 1939-69, and who still held on to his season […]
Feeling a little like Goliath facing David here last Friday night, the front-running Muskies wanted to make sure the last-place Kenora Broncos wouldn’t play giant killers this time around.

Dear editor: Last Wednesday, I went to Fort Frances to work on a pulpwood loader. While doing the necessary repairs, I broke off the bleeder valve. Any mechanic knows to replace it you need a special thread, which I did not have in stock. I went to several places in […]
Dear sir: Wake up all sportsmen, our hunting and fishing heritage is not alive and well! With the recent announcement on the cancellation of the spring bear hunt, I was compelled to write this letter. Our local sportsmen’s club remains committed to work closely with local MNR staff and biologists […]
Dear sir: If we treated our customers as Natural Resources minister John Snobelen has treated tourist camp operators, we would be bankrupt and out of business in very short order. It is impossible to comprehend the timing of his announced termination of the spring bear hunt. Perhaps “insensitivity” might explain […]
Dear sir: Like northern Minnesota, Northwestern Ontario is an extremely hard place to eke out a living. Wood products and tourism are the two main industries that drive our economy. The people who live up here do so not to get rich. We cherish this land, the lakes, and the […]
Dear sir: This information is intended as a wake up alarm and consideration for the voters, taxpayers, and outdoor sportspersons of this province.
