Dear sir: I would like to use a small space in your newspaper. I want to say thank you to all my friends who sponsored me in the recent “Relay for Life” out at Pither’s Point. Your generosity overwhelmed me. I also want to thank my family for helping me […]

To the editor: We would sincerely like to send a big thank you to the following people for helping us on July 4, when the alternator quit on our car at the Junction of Hwy. 11 & 71. Mr. Gerald Carr stopped and boosted the car battery enough to get […]
Dear editor, I’ve been watching from afar on how the home district has been handling the whole “same-sex” relationship issue now for a few weeks, and I’ve held my tongue for the most part–after all, it is proverbs that says a wise man holds his tongue, and those that […]
Dear sir: There has always been a distinct attitude—a difference between those who drive semi-trucks and smaller vehicles such as pick-up trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars. Not just in size, or mechanics, I am speaking of the opinions expressed by both sides of the argument. People who drive small vehicles […]
Dear sir: I am writing in regard to the recent “Relay for Life” walk-a-thon for cancer held at Pither’s Point. I cannot find the words to describe how I felt being a part of this. There was tears in my eyes as I walked around the track watching the luminaries […]
You’ve got to hand it to Ray Bedard. But he’d rather earn it, if it’s all the same. The 44-year-old Fort Frances athlete poured in a multitude of training hours—and had an equal amount of sweat pour out of him—as he devoted himself to preparing for the Special Olympics World […]

Dear sir: The government of the day soon will have to make a decision on the return of the spring bear hunt. The government has ignored all the scientific facts of this issue far too long. Northern Ontario communities have been plagued with nuisance bears since the closure of the […]
Dear sir: In response to J.J. Witherspoon’s letter calling me some rather nasty names, I would like to say she missed the point. It was a request for people to speak up politically for the things we hold so dear, yet take for granted. I’m sickened by the possibility of […]
Dear editor: In response to Donald Clink’s letter, “Dream world,” dated June 4. Life must be grand behind those rose-coloured glasses you wear and the religious cross many hide behind and use to validate their disdain for homosexuals. Mr. Clink, I am all for free speech, with the exception of […]
Dear sir: I am writing to express my thoughts about the recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal on June 10 that declared the historic definition of “marriage” unconstitutional. The definition of marriage in Canada, for all of the nation’s 136 years, has been based on the classic formulation […]
