Irene Gerula Dear editor: Hunting season finally is over and I read (and hear) there are a lot of people who feel the same way I do. Imagine seven whole weeks of hunting and not even one week of open season on hunters who prowl around in the fields with […]
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.
Nick Wihnan Dear editor: I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and to thank this community, mayor, and council for bestowing the title of Citizen of the Year upon me. I am forever grateful and humbled by this very special honour. I […]
Steve Latimer Dear editor: I can’t stop smiling after reading “Here’s why we shoot deer in the wild” in last week’s Times. That was a well-written, entertaining, and humorous story. The author, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a very talented writer and can certainly write a story that draws […]
Pat Dakin Dear editor: St. Mary’s Church on Sunday was the setting for “Mary, Did You Know?”—a most uplifting cantata. Three soloists opened the show and put everyone into the Christmas spirit, and opened my hear and mind for the cantata which followed. In spite of a request to refrain […]
Anne-Marie Armstrong Dear Mike: It is with a humble but grateful heart that this letter is being written. The Christmas season can be a very hectic time with scurrying about to buy gifts, decorate, prepare food, and attend concerts and parties. We also are constantly being reminded how Christ is […]
Kalan Kielczewski Dear editor: Although the fate of the “Nelson Street Park” is still undetermined, I would like to thank all the 807 people who took the time to sign our petition and wanted to help support our cause. I also would like to thank my friends, family, neighbours, and […]
The Hon. Justice Marc L. Bode Editor’s note: The following letter, dated Dec. 7, was sent to Barb Morgan, president of the District of Rainy River Law Library Association, in response to her letter to the editor in last week’s issue of the Times. Dear Miss Morgan: I have your […]
Rick Wiedenhoeft Dear editor: Having read Eric Rude’s letter to the editor (“Help me understand), he asks a very good question to which all residents deserve an answer before you sign your name to the petition [against the proposed re-zoning of the “Nelson Street Park.”] I have no problem with […]
Eric H. Rude To the editor: Thank you for last week’s space, and as a follow-up I am looking for solutions. I am hoping we can solve this. I feel the town should promote development where it is best. Since the town now has chosen to enter the real estate […]
Barbara Morgan Dear editor: On Nov. 28, members of the District of Rainy River Law Library Association (“DRRLLA”) were advised that the judge appointed for the Ontario Court of Justice, in the Rainy River District, is relocating in May, 2012. The decision was made by the Chief Justice for the […]
Eric H. Rude To the editor: Help me understand what has changed. Why do we visit past issues to redo them all the time, and waste people’s time and taxpayers’ dollars? Why are we visiting the issue to re-zone the “Nelson Street Park” again for four or five lots, then […]
John Steinke Dear editor: This is meant to make some reference to the antics of our mayor and councillors, and their employees, in our old and historic town. Remember the newspaper article comments right after the election? It gave us hope that they would be paying attention to, and dealing […]
