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.

Kathryn Pierroz Dear editor: I am writing in response to Ms. Batiuk’s letter printed on Dec. 29. Theatre, like all great art forms, is a matter of personal taste. If you do not have a liking for a certain piece of art, you have the option to not view it […]

Betty Batiuk Dear editor: I went to the recent production of “Rita Joe” at the Townshend Theatre on the Friday night. The acting was well done and the message was clear. But I was appalled, as a Christian, about all the swearing and God and Jesus’ name being taken in […]
