It was a trip down memory lane as I came across your last (Dec. 30th) edition of the Fort Frances Times on-line this afternoon.
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: Please forgive me but I’ve been a somewhat tormented individual lately. Really, ever since I became convinced the Year 2000 problem was probably going to tear down (figuratively) my own little world and everyone else’s, too. You see, everything’s global nowadays. Just a single news story, if big […]

Dear sir: As the logging continues on through Halkirk Township and into Bears Passage, new logging roads materialize one cannot help but notice. As noted by Jane Elliott in “Speak up before it’s too late,” this disturbs me greatly as well. There appears to be a lack in the thought […]
Dear editor: I am writing to clarify some information from the article “Injured cheerleader waiting for word on her prognosis,” which appeared in the Dec. 17, 1998 edition of the Daily Bulletin. At the time of the incident, it is correct that no teacher-coach was present. Some of the coaches […]
To the editor: The editorial in the Dec. 16 edition of the Times (“Fear-mongering has no place in Y2K debate”) reads, in my opinion, very negatively. Coincidentally, the Vancouver Sun’s edition of the same date had a front page story that read, “The RCMP’s main millennium-bug troubleshooter says citizens should […]
Dear Santa, We’re not sure if “big kids” should be writing to you but we still believe in your spirit of giving, and there are a few things that we not only want but really need. We hope you might be able to help us. You see, Santa, we were […]
To the editor: I believe that a democratic system can only work properly when voters have all the facts in front of them from which they can make an informed decision on whom to vote for. That is why I am concerned over Kay Smith’s recent letter to the editor […]
Dear sir: Three weeks ago, I had lunch in Fort Frances at a restaurant and when I came out, I got in my truck and drove off–not knowing there was anything different about it. I went to Sid Asselin’s to pay a bill and when I came out to my […]
