They’re not here to lose, they’ve come to win—or at least make it inside the big tent for the final weigh-in a week from Saturday. No other result will be good enough for Ted Krause and Brent Lake in this year’s Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship, which runs next Thursday […]

It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t graceful, and it certainly wasn’t routine, but Taggs took what they had and netted a 2-1 victory against Curves yesterday evening in women’s Borderland Soccer Association action. Taggs had a some extra motivation going into the game after being trounced by Curves 7-2 the previous […]
We were sitting in the lower part of the Kitchen Creek clubhouse last Wednesday around 2 p.m. “Snake” Krawchuk took a seat on a semi-comfortable chair, placed his arms on the rests, and leaned back. He wore a red golf shirt with basche shorts and a white Cleveland golf hat […]
She has braked the ache, nuttered, butter slided, durfed, loaded the line, burnt the toast, teared an eyelid, and even suffered from an occasional kook. But now, former Fort Frances resident Tressa Main would like to “spread the love” of wakeboarding by holding a clinic in her hometown and where […]

The man stands six feet tall and pushes the scales at 225 pounds, he smokes close to a pack of cigarettes a day, a beer is fancied every so often, and he enjoys the taste of grease on his hotdogs and hamburgers. Not the normal credentials for an athlete, but […]
Don’t tell Ken Anderson he’s crazy for racing. He’s heard it before from his family, his friends, and co-workers. But they never convinced him to give up his obsession with race car driving, so the chances you would are slim. And besides, who wants to argue with a guy with […]
Roy Halladay picked the wrong team to have an off night against. Carl Crawford went 4-for-5, scored three runs, stole two bases, and had an RBI as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays handed Halladay and the Toronto Blue Jays a 10-2 loss last night. It was the 16th win in […]
David Bell needed to be patient. Standing on third base, Bell had to endure a conference by the umpires before learning his triple would count giving him the cycle as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Montreal Expos 14-6 last night. “The thing is it’s just rare,” Bell said while standing […]
Two-time defending champion Serena Williams was a serving sensation while Canada’s Daniel Nestor reached the quarter-finals in men’s doubles today at Wimbledon. Williams served 12 aces, including one clocked at a Wimbledon women’s record of 203 km/h, as she overwhelmed 16-year-old Tatiana Golovin 6-2, 6-1. Williams crushed the Russian-born French […]
