In all fresh water, there is no other fish like it. Big, streamlined. Camouflaged, the Muskie has a devilish grin and a wicked set of teeth.

If there were any question about which federal party stands behind the people of Northwestern Ontario, then Michael Ignatieff removed all doubt this week when he declared that his federal Liberals would honour the Flaherty-McGuinty HST tax grab if he were to become Prime Minister. With that declaration the New Democratic Party now stands alone as the only federal party which understands that families in our region can’t afford an 8 percent sales tax increase, and which remains steadfastly committed to stopping the HST from being implemented next July.

Summer turned to fall suddenly overnight on Saturday in Fort Frances and the district. I went for the last long swim of the year Saturday afternoon. It is the latest I have ever swam in September in Rainy Lake. In fact the water was warmer Saturday than it had been during the months of June, July and early August.
The dock at the end of Fifth Street late Friday afternoon was filled with kids getting in their last lake swims of the year. It was crowded, much the same way the Pither’s Point Park dock used to be crowded when swimming lessons were offered at the Point.

One fish, one fish, one fish, one fish...
It is funny how a few moments can define an entire event or set the stage for a story I am going to write.
