Joan Buttazoni Dear editor: Riverside Health Care Facilities, in their ignorant wisdom, has decided that the Emo Health Centre should do without an X-ray machine. Doctors need said machines and so do the people of the Golden Age Manor, which is attached to the hospital, who have a hard time […]
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.
Coun. Ken Perry Dear editor: This letter would be more appropriately addressed to the publisher as Jim Cumming is due a big thank you from me for running his column last week about railroad taxation (or lack thereof) in Ontario. So Jim, thanks. With that said, I hope you will […]
Gordon Woollard Dear editor: I would like to comment on the letter submitted in this last week’s Fort Frances Times by Mary Curtis regarding the Riverside board meeting held in the boardroom of the Emo Health Centre. Word had gotten around via the bush telegraph that this meeting was going […]
Mary Curtis Dear editor: Riverside Health Care Facilities, Inc. held an open board meeting Nov. 3 in the boardroom of the Emo Health Centre.

Anna McNay Dear editor: Thanks to all the generous people who donated the hats, mitts, boots, scarves, and coats. Thanks to Richard from McTaggarts for the racks we need, to the Fort Frances Volunteer Bureau for the use of the hall, and to B93 and the Fort Frances Times for […]
Rick Nordin Dear editor: I was very sad to read that the Rainy River Record will be ceasing publication. The paper was a link to the town where I was born and grew up and like many others who no longer live in the area, the Record provided news of […]
Samuel Giberson Dear Editor, I am proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in which members and graduates of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program pass on the Remembrance message to the younger generation. As Remembrance Day is fast approaching, I would like to pay special tribute to all […]
Mary Jane Pearson Dear editor: On behalf of the La Verendrye Hospital Auxiliary, I would like to thank everyone who came out to enjoy an afternoon of good food and fellowship at our annual fall tea. Also a big thank-you to the membership who so willingly gave of their time […]
Conrad Dueck Dear editor: This past Saturday I had the chance to play in my first-ever 3-on-3 basketball tournament and I had such a blast, I felt I needed to send out a big “thank you” to Kevin Gemmell and Rainy River First Nations for hosting this great event. The […]
Cynthia Donald Dear Mr. Behan: I am sure that many people driving by Robert Moore School in the last few months have noticed the change that has been happening at the school playground. First, Daryl Eyolfson’s crew built a running track and a play hill. Now, in addition to this […]
Diane Maxey Dear editor: Usually I’m not much of a complainer but the other day upon leaving the Walmart parking lot, I observed the height of laziness! It was around 6:15 p.m. so there were very few cars parked. To my utter amazement, however, there were 32 carts scattered within […]
