Dear sir: In response to the letters last week by Mrs. Leonard and Mr. Medicine on why one fish and game law is needed. If they don’t see why, then there is not much use in trying to make them see why. Simply put, one law is needed for the […]
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 had the unfortunate experience of reading Allan Kielczewski’s letter to the editor in the weekly edition of the Fort Frances Times (Sept. 30, 1998). Mr. Kielczewski comments, “. . . aboriginal people . . . should be forced to obey our game and fish laws.” He hit […]
Dear sir: This is in response to Allan Kielczewski’s letter to the editor last week. As I read the letter, I felt anger, then common sense set in. I read between the lines and sensed right away that Mr. K. (I can’t even spell his name, much less say it) […]
Dear sir: We are delighted and thankful to God for the opportunity He has afforded us to minister in both the practical and spiritual work of The Salvation Army in Fort Frances. In the short number of days since we have arrived at Fort Frances, we have been so very […]
Dear sir: I recently spent a few days in La Verendrye hospital here. The newly-decorated west wing, in my opinion, has the most modern equipment and the nicest decor of any hospital unit I have ever been in. The staff, particularly the nurses, were most courteous and attentive, and deserve […]
Dear editor: I am writing to you in response to a letter to the editor in the Sept. 9 edition of the Times. According to this letter, a young man has been deprived of an opportunity to play high school hockey at Fort Frances High School. Obviously, there has been […]
Dear sir: On behalf of the Sioux Lookout Hudson Association for Community Living staff and residents, Victoria and Barb, who recently attended the Emo Fall Fair and concerts, we would like to thank the many people who made our trip a huge success. Special thanks goes out to Bill who […]
Dear sir: Last Wednesday, our baseball team had a fun game planned against a team that drove all the way to Devlin from Sioux Narrows. I was disappointed and embarrassed when I drove into our beautiful ball park in Devlin. Someone had strewn toilet tissue around and dumped all the […]
Dear Mr. Editor: A “Minute of Silence, a Moment of Sound”–these are the watchwords of the United Nations International Peace Day. On the third Tuesday in September at noon, people throughout the world are invited to join the delegates of the United Nations General Assembly in a minute of silent […]
To the editor: I think a great big thank you is in order to Stacy and Wayne Johnson, who have done a wonderful job down at the Sorting Gap Marina the past couple of years. The time and effort they put into turning our marina into a place of beauty–where […]
Dear sir: I write this letter after much consideration and reflection on the life, spirit, and talent of my former Muskie teammate, Brad Johnstone. As you are in no doubt aware, Brad passed away suddenly through a tragic airplane accident in Alaska. He died doing something he loved and cherished. […]
Dear sir: I confess! I like to watch television. What I don’t like is our TV guide. In my opinion, it leaves a lot to be desired. First, it is not a complete listing as it only goes to midnight, and I’m sure some of the stations have programming later […]
