Once again, I have sympathy to extend to two families in our community. I’ve written for the Fort Frances Times for more than five years now and never have I had so many losses touch our small community.
Sadly these two go out to the McCoy family, on the sudden passing of Phil, as well as to Mabel McCormick and her family and friends, on the loss of her father, Steve Kuchar, who passed away last Thursday in Fort Frances.
His funeral was held yesterday in Manitoba.
We’re all thinking of you at this sad time.

A reminder the Crossroads rink committee is holding a fish fry on Mother’s Day. Volunteers are needed for this event. Last year was an awesome success so be sure to mark your calendar.

Robin’s 2¢:
I was chatting with a friend from London, Ont., on Easter Sunday and I asked her is she was planning on re-marrying.
Her comment was, “I really don’t like the thought of putting my hand back in the ringer.”
