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.
Dear sir: I read the letter written by Al Kaczorek. Have a hard time understanding why he did not take down the whole number of the Minnesota boat and turn it in! I would like to assure Mr. Kaczorek that there are some of us “American Friends” who do take […]
Dear sir: I was saddened last week to learn of the decision of the Community Care Access Centre to no longer use the Red Cross Society for homemaking service. Once again, it seems a bureaucratic decision will affect the health care of our area, “fixing something that did not need […]
To the editor, The other day I saw something that I think deserved mentioning. I was walking at the water front at 6:30 a.m. and I saw an elderly couple walking toward me. I had seen them before, but this time they were carrying bags and they were picking up […]
Dear sir: I would like to reply to the letter of Mr. Al Kaczorek that recently appeared on-line on your web site. I, and everyone I personally know, have complied with every Canadian regulation that we know of when we come up to fish the “river” in March and April. […]
Dear sir: In reference to the article in last Wednesday’s Times, “Elizabeth Taylor to attend FFHS reunion,” I wish to inform you that I will be bringing another celebrity to the reunion, James Taylor. Although James is not a graduate of FFHS, he looks forward to meeting all Fort High […]
Dear sir: I am an avid reader of the Fort Frances Times, and I rarely miss an issue of the Daily Bulletin or the weekly edition of the paper. When we moved here three years ago, my first connection to the town of Fort Frances was through reading your newspaper. […]
Dear sir: It was my own choice, and not the Fort Frances Ontario Special Olympics, to have my column “Road to the Espanola Provincial Curling Trials” printed in the Fort Frances Times on Feb. 16. Whether the public agreed to my opinion or not, I stand 100 percent behind it […]
Dear editor: This letter is in reference to an article written by Mike Baranowski that appeared in the Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2000 edition of your paper. The article is absolutely inaccurate and, as a result, portrays an unfair and unacceptable picture of an historical competitive event within Ontario Special Olympics. […]
Dear Mr. Behan: This letter is pursuant to the article of Mr. Jack Tynan in the Daily Bulletin dated March 9, 2000. It was my understanding that Mr. Tynan was not at the meeting with the Fort Frances town council held on March 8, 2000, however, in his article he […]
Dear sir: The late Tommy Douglas was the father of medicare when he introduced it in Saskatchewan. His budget targeted 70 percent of health care. The Liberal government of the day made health care universal in Canada. They funded it 50 percent. The present Chrétien government reduced it to some […]
Dear editor: I just want to get something off my chest regarding the current gas and diesel oil prices. And while I’m at it–a bit about “outshopping.” I would like to make a point regarding the purchase of gas in the United States. If one is going that way for […]
