Stephen Harper has been described as a control freak—and several actions he’s taken in his early days as prime minister certainly reflect that. But ordering that the caskets of fallen soldiers returning from Afghanistan be shielded from public view is way out of line. Seeing a steady stream of flag-draped […]
Dear editor: I’m writing to try to clear up some misunderstandings that Mr. Watt indicated in his letter of last week regarding secondary occasional teachers. Numerous newspaper articles and radio reports have clearly stated that the secondary occasional teachers are not interested in obtaining more money than was negotiated recently […]
Dear editor: National Volunteer Week (April 23-29) pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers across the country who give their time to help their communities. National Volunteer Week is a time for all of us to take part and celebrate the energy and commitment of volunteers. Volunteers read, cook, […]
Dear sir: I visit the town of Fort Frances each year when I visit my sister, Liz Clark. I find everyone in the town to be so warm and friendly, and over the years it has become a second home. As yet, I have not experienced the winters although I’ve […]

Dear editor: The purpose of this letter is to clarify a few misconceptions about the secondary occasional teachers. First of all, we are not all retirees. I, personally, graduated university with a BA/BEd in May, 2005. I moved here with my husband in August, 2005 because the Rainy River District […]
Dear editor: I am a new long-term occasional teacher at Fort Frances High School and I am involved in the current strike. Since I began my position at the beginning of the second semester, I have spent more than 100 hours costuming for the musical, “Les Misérables,” and worked with […]
Dear editor: I must start out by thanking Duane Hicks for his article in last Wednesday’s Times, “Fire chief taking new job.” This letter, though, is dedicated to the men and women of the Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service. These proud and devoted people merit a special thank you. […]
