Dear editor: I am in total agreement with the remarks made by Mr. Wendell Stevens when it comes to the Huffman School subdivision project, which ought not be proceeded with by town council. I also agree that we do not need, nor should we be in, the private subdivision business […]
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 editor: In the past, I have had deep concerns on walleye tournaments because this species is vulnerable to water temperature, pounding, and handling. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, four out of 10 do not survive, which indicates fish wasted, but they keep having walleye tournaments despite this. […]
Dear editor: I was interested to read the letter to the editor from Mr. Loren Hepworth in the May 29 edition of the Times, where he reassured everyone of how safe our food supply is. I won’t comment on the content of this “letter” further. I will only point out […]
Dear editor: Are any taxpayers livid over the town’s antics and concerns about funding denials? I am because of several reasons and maybe you should be, as well. The town made a plan for replacement of some of its infrastructure, such as sewer replacement that is 93 years old and […]
Dear editor: In response to the clarification by Neil Kabel [on the aboriginal apartment complex on Eighth Street] in last week’s Times. It is my opinion that there is more to just erecting a building for people to stay. It should be as pleasant on the outside as the inside. […]
Dear Mike: Our purpose to revitalize the Quarter-Century Club for the employees of Resolute Forest Products and all the previous companies, along with us retirees, is coming to fruition. The club, which has been defunct for five or more years, will start up again on June 27 with a banquet […]
Dear editor: It concerns me to read that some people are so worried about the safety of genetically-modified foods that they have taken to the streets. I’d like to add to the conversation by providing some information that these people may not be aware of, but which may help relieve […]
Dear editor: This past weekend, our family had the opportunity to travel to Thunder Bay with the Fort Frances Aquanauts for our daughter’s first swim meet. We were so impressed with this team of kids who proudly represent Fort Frances. Coach Dawnn Taylor should be commended for training her athletes, […]
To the editor: A very kind and honest lady found my purse in the Walmart parking lot and turned it in to the customer service counter. The Walmart employee (Jennifer) phoned me and when I picked it up, the lady had not left her name. How can I thank you […]
Dear editor: Since when is it the mandate of town council to be in the business of developing, buying, and selling residential lots. Shouldn’t that be the domain of the private sector, with council providing services to lots developed by private interests? Did they not learn their lesson with the […]
Dear editor: Canada Post states it is losing revenue. I know it is a national issue, but if issues like this are popping up in communities across the country, people will continue to turn away. A glaring example is current mail delivery in the RR#1 area. If we receive mail […]
Dear editor: We are writing this letter to publicly acknowledge Samantha Manty’s contributions to our community during her internship with the Fort Frances Museum. Firstly, we should make clear that an internship is an exchange of services: a student works for the experience that he/she will gain while on site. […]
