I felt it was necessary to correct the misquote from the article, “Youth soccer wind-up a go,” in last Thursday’s Daily Bulletin. I was quoted as saying “Hot dogs won’t be served due to short notice.” The only thing I did say is that pre-packaged snacks would be served. Trust […]

Dear sir: Once again, the Canadian Cancer Society’s appeal for funds during the month of April proved successful. The success of our campaign depends upon the generosity of the residents, businesses, and organizations in Fort Frances, and in the area surrounding Fort Frances from Mine Centre in the east to […]
Dear sir: It’s school reunion time for the Class of ’52 (including anyone attending Fort Frances High School in 1951-52-53). Plans are going well but we can’t find the following former students: David Hamilton, Doug Hill, Irene Hnatiuk, Mike Donnely, Elaine George, Shelley Atkins, Glen Ewald, Kay Glennan, Trudy Cooper, […]
Dear sir: Emo town council recently had the privilege to participate in a trip to Ottawa, organized by the office of local MP Bob Nault. This appears to have been a first—where mayors and/or their representatives from throughout a single federal riding were invited to Canada’s capital en masse by […]
Dear sir: There have been several letters sent to this paper on the rights of individuals to smoke. I don’t think anyone would disagree that an adult should be able to make their own decision on this issue. It’s also our “right” to smoke cigars, and burn incense, but do […]
Dear Mike, I would like to give recognition to the all those involved in getting the roads open after the flooding of the past week. It was a tremendous job to get all those routes passable. I also would like to thank all of our family, friends, and neighbours for […]
To the editor: On Sunday, June 2, 2002, I travelled to Thunder Bay. As the roads were damaged by a storm, I returned home through Minnesota on June 13. I crossed the border at International Falls, one trip, yet I had to pay for two crossings at the toll gate. […]
The oldtimer who helloed me one day in Safeway could have been still in his 60s. He seemed alert and interesting and, for some reason I never learned, he also knew my name. Still slim and erect, he wanted to talk, so we did. Eventually, I found out his name […]

With Fort High’s graduation ceremony set for tonight, the book on the 2001-02 Muskie season is officially closed. However, a handful of student athletes will continue to ply their trade at the college/university level next season. But before I start (cue “Pomp and Circumstance”), I’d just like to say while […]
One of my goals in life is to laugh every day. For that reason, I usually watch at least one old sitcom—Gilligan’s Island, I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, Get Smart, I Dream of Jeannie—the classics. This routine began in the 1980s when I first read […]
