I felt it was necessary to correct the misquote from the article, “Youth soccer wind-up a go,” in last Thursday’s Daily Bulletin. I was quoted as saying “Hot dogs won’t be served due to short notice.” The only thing I did say is that pre-packaged snacks would be served. Trust […]

Dear sir: Once again, the Canadian Cancer Society’s appeal for funds during the month of April proved successful. The success of our campaign depends upon the generosity of the residents, businesses, and organizations in Fort Frances, and in the area surrounding Fort Frances from Mine Centre in the east to […]
Dear sir: It’s school reunion time for the Class of ’52 (including anyone attending Fort Frances High School in 1951-52-53). Plans are going well but we can’t find the following former students: David Hamilton, Doug Hill, Irene Hnatiuk, Mike Donnely, Elaine George, Shelley Atkins, Glen Ewald, Kay Glennan, Trudy Cooper, […]
Dear sir: Emo town council recently had the privilege to participate in a trip to Ottawa, organized by the office of local MP Bob Nault. This appears to have been a first—where mayors and/or their representatives from throughout a single federal riding were invited to Canada’s capital en masse by […]
Dear sir: There have been several letters sent to this paper on the rights of individuals to smoke. I don’t think anyone would disagree that an adult should be able to make their own decision on this issue. It’s also our “right” to smoke cigars, and burn incense, but do […]
Dear Mike, I would like to give recognition to the all those involved in getting the roads open after the flooding of the past week. It was a tremendous job to get all those routes passable. I also would like to thank all of our family, friends, and neighbours for […]

It’s been said many times before, but deserves repeating: high school graduation is a time of great celebration—and anxiety. There’s exhilaration over accomplishing a goal; to grab that well-earned diploma and yell, ‘Look out world, here I come!’ Then there’s the thrill of going off to college or university, of […]
Water spurted up from toilets, the shower, and the drain. Nothing could stop it—not towels shoved into drains nor an army of volunteers pumping gallons of water for days. In the 25 years Tom Steele has lived in his home at 656 First St. E., he’d seen nothing like it. […]
The coach is taking a request from his players. Last week, it seemed all but certain Wayne Strachan, the former head coach of the Borderland Thunder, would turn down the local junior team’s offer to stay on as assistant coach after Dave Allison was signed to replace him. But after […]
Damage from last week’s torrential rainfall is expected to be twice as bad as what was caused by last year’s wind storms but district residents are coping with the aftermath. And picking up the pieces should be easier after Municipal Affairs and Housing minister Chris Hodgson on Friday declared the […]
