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.

Dana L. Cain Dear editor: During my Saturday morning read, I came across an article printed under the column, “From the Publisher’s Pen,” in the Aug. 18 edition of the Times. The last thing I ever expected to read by our very own small-town newspaper publisher was (in my opinion) […]
Phil Greif Dear editor: Our guests woke up on beautiful Rainy Lake, to a lovely sunrise and mirror-like picture perfect lake. But their first comment of the day to us was: “What in God’s name is that stench?” It was the pollution from the mill—a regularly-occurring shocking event that everyone […]
