By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Getting stitched up by Dr. Robot may one day be reality: Scientists have created a robotic system that did just that in living animals without a real doctor pulling the strings.

By Cassandra Szklarski The Canadian Press TORONTO — Sarah Mulholland vividly remembers the first time her 13-month-old son called out “Mama.” She was cooking about two months ago when little Conri began clamouring for her attention, clinging to her legs and whining until he suddenly uttered those two simple syllables […]
By Ian Bickis THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A new study by the Carbon Tracker Initiative shows the world’s biggest oil and gas companies can still make big profits in a carbon constrained world if they avoid high cost, high carbon projects like the oilsands. The London-based organization did an […]
Curran Strachan Dear editor: This is a response to the “Scandalous” letter you published on April 27. What I find “disheartening” about this letter is that still today in 2016, we have people who still have such narrow minds. It’s unfortunate that it is still frowned upon to dress your […]
Nina Stopa Dear editor: I am writing this in response to the letter entitled “Scandalous” in your paper last week. While I am not here to dispute Mr. Johnson’s claims, as it is my belief that such ignorance and bigotry is inarguable, I am here to say shame on you […]

Valerie Hallam Dear editor: In reply to the letter “Scandalous” from Mr. Jerome Johnson (Fort Frances Times, April 27). Oh dear, Mr. Johnson . . . where have you been? Time and the world have moved on. I am quite confident in suggesting that no parents of these children “forced” them […]
Anika Beaudry Dear editor: I read a letter to the editor from last Wednesday’s Times. Now normally I would skip over this part of the paper, and normally I would not even think about writing a response. However, the letter that caught my eye basically was about how “Day of […]
Rainy Lake’s ice finished sinking to the bottom over the weekend and the first boats started filling marinas. Everyone seems to be rushing to get their boats on the water. I wasn’t the first to put my boat in this year. The blue water beckoned and Badiuk’s had my boat […]
It is my birthday on Friday (April 29). As I write this, another year has gone, slipped away overnight never to be retrieved, and I find myself remembering birthdays past (as I am inclined to do), where I wander around in my memory searching in corners for treasured moments. Birthdays […]
