Dave Lindsay is on a mission to make a name of his own. The brother of three-time Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship winner Norm Lindsay is fishing his best at just the right time, as he and fellow Sioux Narrows resident Colin Gluting teamed up to win the $10,000 first […]

With just over two weeks before the inaugural Rick Pearson Memorial Golf Tournament at Kitchen Creek Golf Course, there is still time for teams to get involved. “I have 16 teams registered right now,” said event co-ordinator Sonja Bodnarchuk. “We’re definitely looking for more,” added Nadine Johnson, also a tournament […]
Rick Stamarski didn’t play his best, but he’s not about to hand back his medal. He just wishes he had been on the bench rather than on the mark. “There’s great satisfaction in being able to coach,” said Stamarski, who joined his teammates on the Northern Ontario men’s teaching team […]
Shade felt the jaws closing around them, only to bare their teeth and bite back at the most opportune moment. A three-run fifth inning broke a 9-9 tie and propelled Shade to a 12-10 victory over Variety Pack/Blue Zone in the “A” final of the Kingsley Downs Memorial Tournament Sunday […]
Somewhere this weekend, John Kingsley Downs was smiling—and probably telling one more batter the pitch was “on the corner.” The Rainy River District was shaken by the untimely passing of Downs, who died at age 61 in a one-vehicle accident on Canada Day as the Pinewood resident was heading back […]
They’re rivals on the field, but a pair of combined soccer squads from the Borderland Soccer Association put their differences aside to prosper at a tournament in Dryden this past weekend. The Taggs/Nova men’s team went undefeated to capture the men’s title, while the Fort Frances “Money”, a mixed Curves/Gillons’ […]
Cathy Tovey could use a helping hand—several, in fact. The director of volunteers for the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship is issuing a community-wide request for anyone who wants to pitch in and help in any one of a number of different areas to help make sure the July 21-26 […]
Carlee Bosma couldn’t take the heats, but she wasn’t about to get out of the kitchen. The Emo driver watched Jeff Davis dominate all three qualifying heats, then upstaged the Devlin driver by winning the feature race of the Beginner division during this week’s go-kart action hosted by the Borderland […]
Money isn’t everything, but it certainly isn’t a bad drawing card. The annual “Dash for Cash” children’s bicycle races at Emo Speedway on Saturday night were a monstrous success, with approximately 100 youth testing themselves against their peers in a battle to capture some coin and, in the case of […]
Steve Arpin’s stock car racing career is going south in a hurry—and he’s perfectly fine with that. The Fort Frances driver has spent most of this racing season below the 49th parallel, making stops at various tracks on the WISSOTA circuit throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. The strategy is not geared […]
It was like the old McDonald’s commercials with Wayne Gretzky and Mats Sundin. Off the crossbar, off the goalie, nothing but net. Tara MacEachern’s late goal didn’t earn Taggs a Big Mac, but it did secure them their first point of the year in a 2-2 tie with league-leading Curves […]
The week off didn’t do anything to dull Vic Larson’s edge. The Dryden resident rebounded from two fourth-place finishes in the qualifying heats to win the feature race in the Modified division during Borderland Racing Association action last Saturday at the Emo Speedway. With rain washing out the previous week’s […]
