Bulldogs, critters, and bears, oh my. It wasn’t quite an animal house at the Ice for Kids Arena, but the assorted creatures on hand at the Ice for Kids Arena on Saturday night witnessed the Borderland Thunder shoot their way to a 7-3 win against the Thunder Bay KC Bulldogs. […]
To the editor: The very possibility of Wal-Mart in our area, anywhere, is dismaying, frustrating, and frightening. Both Fort Frances and International Falls will suffer the loss of a number of businesses, since that behemoth’s very attitude is to sink the little guy who can’t compete. Folks think that all […]
Dear sir: I would like to reply to Kevin Cherry’s letter of Dec. 11, 2002. What this letter appears to be is another example of the whiz kids from Toronto again telling the country bumpkins from Northwestern Ontario what is good for them. I think the people of Fort Frances […]

Still waiting Dear Mr. Editor: When will all businesses in town become smoke-free, Bingo halls included, to protect all people? Isn’t smoking in public a fineable offence? We look to you, Mr. Editor, for a definitive answer. Signed, Al Peterson and Bob Gillon
Dear editor: I just received my copy of the Fort Frances Times and read about Glen Edwards resigning as head coach of the Muskie boys’ hockey team. I, like many, am surprised by “Grapes’” decision. I don’t want to know his reasons and respect him for his decision. Playing for […]
After exploring his options over the past year, The Place owner Craig Sanders said it’s likely the west-end grocery store will be a little roomier by this time next year. “I’m probably looking at doing an expansion where I am now,” Sanders noted yesterday via telephone from his other business, […]
