After first mulling over extending Daylight Savings Time an extra two months, the United States now is all but certain to extend it by a few weeks—from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November (instead of from early April through the end of October)—starting this fall. […]
Dear sir: Last week I had the pleasure of working with Ted Menzies, the Conservative critic for international trade. Why should our region care about international trade?

Dear Mr. Editor: I would like to comment on an incident that has taken place in Fort Frances. Last May, I made a concrete stepping stone (eight-inch diameter) with a stained glass inlay of a red petunia. It took me a long time to make it and was a real […]

Instead, we get a mixed bag of government advertising (“Canadian Forces can offer […]
Dear sir: Attention Fort Frances. Your fire department is being slowly dismantled by our mayor and council. The mayor and council are instituting staffing changes at the fire department that will affect the safety and well-being of this community. Staffing of full-time firefighters is being reduced for no reason that […]
Dear editor: I am alarmed at the recent goings on in this town over the fears and changes contemplated for our water system. We are lucky to have an excellent source for our water system. In the not too distant past, a new engineered treatment plant was built—supposedly it was […]
Dear Mike: It was a hot and humid weekend, but what better place to be than the Devlin ball park playing slo-pitch! Thanks go to Shade, the team in charge of the tournament (Ron and Leslie Kellar, Jack Kellar, Laurie and Gayleen Walsh, Linda and Willie Pruys, Diana King, Jim […]
