The hockey community in Powell River probably will be buzzing by April. The town in British Columbia, just northwest of Vancouver, is gearing up to host the 2002 Allan Cup—a showcase of the top senior men’s ‘AAA’ teams from across the country. The host Regals are two-time Allan Cup winners, […]
Growing up in the north country of New York State, I know all about snow. Big snows. Snowblowers, snowballs, and snow forts. White-outs. Being snowbound for days and driving through snow tunnels with 12-foot banks on each side of the road. Lake-effect snows. Unlike Lake Superior, which freezes over late […]
Dr. Pete Sarsfield has taken the Northwestern Health Unit’s anti-smoking crusade a big step further by notifying municipalities in the Rainy River and Kenora districts that second-hand smoke is a “health hazard.” This, in turn, opens the door to possible legal action down the road if municipalities don’t voluntarily pass […]

Dear sir: On Oct. 11, 2001, the local Sunset Country Ford Mustangs paid their entry fee for a tournament to be held March 1-3 in International Falls. The Mustangs are an Atom ‘AA’ team equivalent to U.S. Squirt ‘A.’ Back on Nov. 17, 2001, the Mustangs played the International Falls […]
Dear editor: I think we should consider the reasoning behind the proposed ban for smoking in public places. Picture putting a lighted cigarette into the mouth of a two-year-old and making her inhale. Disgusting you say? Have you ever brought a young one into a restaurant or a coffee shop […]
Worthy goal Dear editor: Thank you for the opportunity to respond to an article in the Daily Bulletin dated Feb. 28. Apparently, a Winnipeg medical doctor is declining to continue to have smokers as his patients. The main reason is that he sees it as a situation with no future. […]
Dear editor: We, the residents of Golden Age Manor in Emo, would like to thank three volunteer firemen—Mark Loney, J.P. Winik, and Will Hay—who answered so promptly the fire alarm on Saturday at 4 a.m. They were here so quickly and stayed to help clean up the mess. All this […]
It is with our deepest sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our sister, daughter, aunt, and mother, Julie, on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2002. Julie lived most of her life on Manitou Rapids. She loved beading, making leather crafts, playing Bingo, attending family gatherings, and recently, spending as quality […]
