Picked up by the Kegel Coors Light team from Fargo for the North American Fastball Association ‘A’ World Series last week, John Desaulniers just wanted a chance to showcase his talents.

About $401,573 of the hike were separate price items, things which trustee Dennis Brunn said were listed as […]
Dear sir: Last Wednesday, our baseball team had a fun game planned against a team that drove all the way to Devlin from Sioux Narrows. I was disappointed and embarrassed when I drove into our beautiful ball park in Devlin. Someone had strewn toilet tissue around and dumped all the […]
Dear Mr. Editor: A “Minute of Silence, a Moment of Sound”–these are the watchwords of the United Nations International Peace Day. On the third Tuesday in September at noon, people throughout the world are invited to join the delegates of the United Nations General Assembly in a minute of silent […]
