Dear editor: I read the letter to the editor that was submitted by Mrs. Cunningham to the Fort Frances Times (May 31) on her concerns with the province’s new education polices regarding teachers. All I have to say is this. When I was a student at Fort Frances High School, […]
Dear sir: This is in regards to the health department’s so-called don’t panic letter to the people of the Fort Frances District not to be alarmed of the E. coli outbreak. This is a farce. Does a person realize that when they shop at their local grocers, they are also […]

Sweet, gentle Phoebe doesn’t like to say “goodbye.” And I understand exactly how she feels. She loves to say “hello” in every way she knows.
