Capt. Angel Sandoval-Silva Dear friends, With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season upon us, it is so easy to lose sight of some of the important anchors that give stability to our life. Though this is not our intention, they simply get lost in the shuffle. Such an […]
Letters
All newspapers encourage letters to the editor and intend to print the opinions of their readers with as few restrictions as possible. The Fort Frances Times is no exception.
Rules governing letters to the editor in the Fort Frances Times are:
All letters must be signed, and the name of the writer will be printed with all letters published.
The writer must submit his/her letter in person and satisfactory identify themselves, or submit a telephone number to be used to verify that the letter was actually written by the person whose name is included on it, delaying publication if necessary to make the verification.
Letter will not be accepted from people outside the local coverage area unless the letters are written on a topic of primarily local interest.
If a letter attacks another individual or group, the Times will allow a response in the same edition.
Letters should not exceed 300 words and may be edited for length and content.
Robert Berg Dear editor: I visited the old home town this past summer, and noted with interest the changes that have occurred in the two years since I was there. One thing of interest is the building of a new Robert Moore School. I must say that the reports of […]
John Albanese Dear Mike: I want to thank and commend the nurses and staff at the Northwestern Health Unit office in Fort Frances on handling the demanding start of the H1N1 and seasonal ’flu immunization campaign with great professionalism. They have tackled the strain of the ever-changing information and procedures, […]
Rahtez, Bell Park Academic Centre Dear editor: I am a Grade 4 student at Bell Park Academic Centre in Lake Echo, Nova Scotia. We are currently studying Canada as part of our social studies class. We would love for your readers to send us postcards telling us all about your […]
Diane Maxey Dear editor: I just returned home from the opening night of “Dreams,” the FFHS musical revue. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised how well everyone did considering the opening night jitters, which are completely natural. I was especially impressed with the choreography and the synchronization of […]
Davetta Sheppard Dear sir: On Thursday, Nov. 12, my husband and I were fortunate enough to receive our H1N1 shots at the local health unit. Due to our scheduling problems, we had to attend at different times. The wait was long for each of us, as were the lines of […]
Dave Goodman Dear editor: Where are the snowmobile trails? That’s a question we should not have to ask this year. After a big surge in support for the amalgamated Mine Centre, Fort Frances, Emo, Rainy River, and Nestor Falls snowmobile clubs, trail permit sales almost doubled last year. This left […]
David Kircher Dear editor: I agree with Mr. Ken Grynol’s recent letter to the editor regarding the accountability of the Rainy River District School Board and the missing funds from Fort Frances High School. In a Nov. 19, 2008 Fort Frances Times article, the chair of the board stated the […]
Maxine Ramier Hello everyone: Just a note to let you all know about the beautiful street in front of St. Mary’s Church that is ready for you to drive on. But don’t park on the east side of the street—especially at funerals or when some function is going on at […]
Ken Boshcoff Dear editor: On my most recent regular visit to the district, I was again impressed and inspired by the sense of community that continues to thrive in Fort Frances and area. This time it was at the Fort Frances Lakers’ game, where the spirit of building a community-owned […]
Al Peterson Dear editor: I am very concerned about the sidewalk renovations carried out on Portage Avenue. I am not condemning the sidewalk contractor for the work performed on the sidewalk given the circumstances he was left to work with. As a matter of fact, if not for this contractor, […]
Glen Mounk Dear Mike: I have been very fortunate to become involved with the Muskie football team. I had coached other sports previous to this, with fairly good success. One of the most memorable persons I coached in Fort Frances became the top high school rower in North America—and a […]
