For a golfer, a successful season would constitute a few top-10 finishes, maybe a couple in the top three, but a victory definitely would give cause to say you had a good year. Then there’s the kind of year “Snake” Krawchuk had out at Kitchen Creek with not one, not […]
It was suitable that the back of Wade Friesen’s sweater read “Carnival of Carnage.” Wearing a black hooded sweater that probably will fit him in two years, a pair of baggy jeans, and a toque with the heavy-metal band ICP (Insane Clown Posse) inscribed on the side, Friesen leaned up […]

Whoever said a horseshoe can bring you luck didn’t see me throw one. At least at the start, anyway. Three two-person teams participated in the Fort Frances District and Labour Council’s annual mixed horseshoe tournament Monday afternoon at Pither’s Point, with the winning team being Pat Stillar of International Falls […]
After their first win in two seasons, Muskie football head coach Bob Swing gave an interview in which he said: a). he doesn’t care what the community thinks about the team’s results, and b). thought the kids played great, but c). in what was a really sloppy game. Oh, and […]
