Falcons are indeed the speedsters of the bird world. They are streamlined, trim, and slim. The Peregrine Falcon, in pursuit of some prey or other, has been clocked at more than 200 miles per hour. Everything about them looks fast. They are lean-looking birds with long tails and narrow pointy […]

For a young player with aspirations of someday playing on the professional circuit, Rob Nigro is quite content about showcasing his skills at local tournaments like the one here last weekend. And the 15-year-old Thunder Bay native stole the show Sunday afternoon, dazzling the crowd at the Sportsplex with a […]
The Muskie girls’ curling team, coming off a disappointing showing at a qualifying bonspiel here two weeks ago, finished with a 4-1 record–and the gold medal–at the NorWOSSA playdowns in Kenora on Monday. The team also advanced to the NWOSSAA playdowns March 8-10 in Thunder Bay. “The girls just didn’t […]
Muskie head coach Glen Edwards said the key to their best-of-three semi-final series with Red Lake, which opens there Friday night, will lie in their ability to “bottle up” the Rams in their own end.

Dear sir: Sometime ago, a letter had been written to you questioning whether anything could be done to “help the kids hanging around the pool hall,” since it appeared that those young persons complained of having nothing to do. The author of that letter wrote it in the context of […]
Dear sir: The story of my life as I am, and as will be in the years to come . . . . In 1973, a child was born into this world as it is. It is very rough back in the world we live in. There are some people […]
Dear Mr. Behan: Often, the relationship between schools and their neighbours is less than cordial. This is not the case at St. Michael’s School. We are blessed with many wonderful and thoughtful neighbours. These special people spent many hours this winter gathering materials for rink boards, and building, flooding, and […]
Character acting is something I live for. No lines, no script. Just a beginning, an ending, and a basic plot to help you get from one to the other. How you get there is entirely up to your character. So when I was offered the chance to be “Hiroshi Tazahame” […]
No decision was made after a public meeting on parking meters didn’t generate much of what town council was looking for–public input.
