Letters

Dear editor:
I recently read in the Winnipeg Free Press the section entitled “Random Acts of Kindness,” submitted by readers, and thought wouldn’t it be nice to have our local paper committed to a section such as this so local readers could be encouraged by the positive that happens in people’s lives?

Dear editor:
With the 28th-annual Nestor Falls Winter Carnival now in the history books, many thanks are in order!
On behalf of the Nestor Falls Recreation Committee, I would like to extend unwavering gratitude to all of the amazing businesses and individuals in Nestor Falls, Sioux Narrows, and Emo who donated generously and without hesitation.

Dear Mr. Editor:

Dear editor:
It was nice to see an article on the Rainy River Community College women’s hockey team (Fort Frances Times, March 3).

Dear Mr. Editor:
Thank you for printing my last letter to the editor in the Fort Frances Times re: community health care in crisis [“Answers needed,” Feb. 3]. I would like to take your remarks to task that I am providing false information for the purposes of misleading the public [“Just the facts,” Feb. 10].

Dear Mr. Editor:
It is indeed a tragedy when anyone is injured or loses their life in an accident like Mr. Hyatt did recently, but to suggest that the coverage of it was inappropriate or “salacious” is in itself inappropriate.
Anyone who has ever had to cover a “bad news” story appreciates how difficult and unpleasant the task is.

Editor:
