Ken Boshcoff Dear editor: It is quite remarkable that the NDP would try another one of their very expensive “tours” to again ask select groups of people to tell them what they should be doing. It was just a short while ago that a wasteful “tour” asked select groups and […]
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.
Nancy L. Frost Dear editor: On Thursday, Feb. 26, Pickering-Scarborough MPP Wayne Arthurs introduced Bill 148-Visual Fire Alarm Systems Act, 2009, which would require all new provincial and municipal public buildings to be equipped with a visual fire alarm system. For several years, the Canadian Hearing Society has advocated, on […]
Norm Guenette Dear editor: Let me get right to the point, and since it is playoff time, I will use a hockey analogy to make it clear. At the town council meeting Monday evening, our councillors (or our town referees, if you would like to continue with the hockey analogy) […]
Jeff Gustafson Dear editor: Every other week in my column, you hear me mention the words Sunset Country to describe our region. I also write fishing-related stories for various publications across North America, and in many of these I refer to Northwestern Ontario as Sunset Country. I’ll even go so […]
Tami LeBlanc Dear editor: I am writing this letter in response to Mr. Michael J. Meunier’s letter to the editor, headlined “Distraction,” in last Wednesday’s Times. I am absolutely disgusted that someone would even take time out of their day to write such a sickening letter. This memorial cross set […]
Kenneth J. Egan Dear editor: There is much to think about as one ponders the future of Fort Frances and district and its citizens. There is activity (i.e., the new school to replace the present Robert Moore, the new library and technology centre, and the moving of the Hallett), although […]
Jan Beazley Dear editor: The North West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) board and staff wish to thank all of you who took the time to participate in our online engagement project “Share Your Story, Shape Your Care.” The North West LHIN is collecting information for our second Integrated Health […]
Andrew George Dear Mike: When I first started organizing a public forum on Pither’s Point/Agency #1, I knew I was initiating something people felt uncomfortable talking about. I faced a little bit of “non-encouraging” dialogue and cold shoulders from organizations—and even law enforcement. But what I witnessed at the forum […]
Arlene Georgeson Dear Mike: With our annual “Daffodil Drive” completed for another year, I want to thank everyone who offers continued support for this fundraiser. The local Beta Sigma Phi sorority volunteers to promote daffodil sales in Fort Frances with the hope that a cure for cancer can be found. […]
David Kircher Dear editor: This letter is in response to the comments attributed to the chairman of the Rainy River District School Board and its director of education in your April 1, 2009 article headlined “Kircher petition gains momentum.” The board has responded to my requests, however, their answers either […]
Michael J. Meunier Dear editor: Re: the memorial cross set up on Highway 11/71 just past the CN tracks and below the Superior Propane bulk plant. We go to Fort Frances a couple of times a month, and we always are impressed by the decorations and flowers on that cross. […]
Andrew Szell Dear editor: I went to the courthouse in late March because I wanted to talk with the judge but, as I found out, the judge doesn’t talk to anybody. My next choice was to talk to the Crown attorney but, as I found out, the Crown attorney doesn’t […]
