Terri Galusha Dear editor: In response to Duane Hicks’ March 30 article, it is good to hear the Fort Frances Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee continues to work on getting more doctors to our area. Yet funding ideas for recruitment and retention were limited to suggesting that locum physicians, coming […]
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.
Mark Gerber Dear sir: Looking through last week’s Fort Frances Times, I could not find even one mention or message regarding Good Friday and/or Easter. Since these are the major Christian events we celebrate each year, I would think it a good thing for them to be recorded and also […]
Ashlyn Haglund Dear editor: A fort is not a benign architectural structure. As a visual statement, it’s not in any way symbolic of peaceful co-existence or fair trade. To the contrary, a fort carries the weight of a specific narrative as a defensive edge in a vast territory, and as […]
Chris Lowe Dear editor: I totally agree with the letter in last Wednesday’s paper written by Peter and Linda York regarding the selling of the property on Front and Nelson Streets to a contractor in Thunder Bay. I thought the mayor and council were willing to support the Assisted Living […]
John Northey Dear editor: A big thank you to the organizers of the hockey tournament for Novice- and Atom-aged girls last weekend (Feb. 5-7) in Fort Frances. My daughter had a blast from not just playing hockey but also the extras like the Sock Hop, which was fantastic. Our team […]
Rudolf K. F. Zeitlhofer Dear sir: It is not often that reading an article in the Fort Frances Times brings forth a feeling of utter astonishment yet “OSSTF, school board still at odds” (Feb. 10) managed to do just that. I am not at all surprised that so many teachers […]
Peter and Linda York Dear editor: There has been a group working hard for the last while trying to get an assisted living project off the ground. Unfortunately, their dreams were crushed with the town’s decision to see the lots they needed to a contractor from Thunder Bay. I will […]
Nathalie Donaldson Dear editor: In a 2003 Fort Frances Times’ article about the demolition of Fort St. Pierre, former museum curator Pam Hawley was quoted as saying, “We’ve thought about constructing a replica of the fort in the future, so it’s something we might see returning.” I believe the proposed […]
David Schwartz Dear editor: I would like to express how impressed I am with the support the community has given the Rainy River District Festival of the Performing Arts. Our talent show and bake sale fundraiser last week was very well-attended and the response the performers received from the audience […]
Mary Croswell Dear editor: “A boy told me I skated like a girl; I told him if he skated a little faster, he could, too!” In December, the NHL hosted its first-ever outdoor women’s hockey classic and later the first National Women’s Hockey League all-star game took place in its […]
David M. Bourgeault Dear Mike: For several years now, I have followed the antics of our premier and her gang in charge at Queen’s Park. Mismanagement seems to be the order of the day and, in fact, has been much more prevalent when they are dealing with the Ontario Hydro […]
Dale Booth Hey Mike: Over the past few weeks, the town of Fort Frances has been on TV five or six times a day with that new Tim Hortons commercial. And for those of us who now live in other parts of Canada, it sure makes us miss the little […]
