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.
To the editor: As a Sr. Matric grad of F.F.H.S. in 1948, it was great to be able to be part of the recent Millennium Reunion. What a tremendous effort by the local community–I’m proud of my hometown! However, I recently received a copy of the July 12 edition of […]
Dear editor: Some of Bob Nault’s comments in his attempt to discredit the flat tax proposal of the Canadian Alliance, in his column on Aug. 2, are quite misleading. This proposal has a 17 percent tax rate, an increase in the basic personal and spousal exemptions to $10,000, and a […]
This letter is in response to the article that appeared recently in the Kenora Enterprise. As this article touches a sore spot for many of us, I, for one, would like to know what efforts are being made to put a stop to the so-called underground cabin rentals. Knowing this […]
Dear sir: As you are aware, the Lions Millennium Park was dedicated to the people of Fort Frances on July 8 by the Hon. Robert Nault, minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Developments, local MPP and NDP leader Howard Hampton, and Mayor Glenn Witherspoon before a large crowd of citizens […]
Dear Mr. Behan: Truly, the best part of any reunion anytime is getting together with friends and loved ones, sharing old memories, and just having the pleasure of coming back to our old home town. I experienced all of the above–and revelled in it. It was evident that a lot […]
Dear editor: Yeah, it’s Rapid Robert again. The old guy with the plaid tam. I do a lot of driving, and have done a lot of driving over my 77 years, and courtesy and politeness never leave my mind. Remember when our mums and dads used to instruct us, “Now […]
Dear editor: This letter addresses comments made by Mike Baranowski (“Fishing is for the birds”–July 19), Lyle Armstrong (“Cormorants cause headaches for area cottagers”–July 19), and Allan Kielczewski (letter to the editor–July 26). First, each one claimed cormorants consume large quantities of sport fish. Studies have repeatedly shown, however, that […]
Dear editor: I lived in Fort Frances most of my life until we moved to Vancouver Island. I have never seen such beautiful graveyards as those in Fort Frances. When we travel to go home to Fort Frances, we pass a lot of graveyards and they look so dim and […]
Dear editor, We applaud John Nelson’s letter to the editor concerning cormorants on Rainy Lake, and wildlife in general. The attitude that fish stocks exist for, or are only the property of, humans is both a senseless and absurd point of view. Many different predators, and prey, depend on fish […]
Dear sir: The July 28 report on Ontario water treatment plant testing results by the Environment Ministry, following on the report by Environment Commissioner Gord Miller’s ripping account of government cover-up, demonstrates, without equivocation, that the Harris government, from the premier on down, has deceived the public, the same people […]
Dear editor, I would like to thank the Fort Frances Bass Tournament for letting us young anglers participate in the Kid’s Pro Bass Championship. I was lucky enough to fish with Mr. Barnard and we had a great time. All of the kids I talked to had lots of fun […]
