Dear editor: The Ministry of Natural Resources has directed forest planning management teams to defy the law by relaxing the 260-hectare legal limit on the size of clearcuts. In part, this is compensation in exchange for the forest companies’ co-operation in fulfilling the “Lands for Life” mandate. Moreover, the MNR […]
Bicycles are associated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product other than the automobile. Each year in Canada and the United States, hundreds of children aged 14 and under are killed in bicycle-related accidents and more than 400,000 are injured.

I suppose the Mallard is the most familiar duck in the northern hemisphere. That grey body, brilliant green head, and substantial size are its distinguishing marks. If you need more, the red breast, the white collar, and the orange feet and legs will give you some more confirmation. The female […]

Dear sir: Your Aug. 27 edition of the Daily Bulletin reported that several agencies, including the U.S. Army, Coast Guard, and Air National Guard, particpated in a law enforcement blitz that recently took place on Rainy Lake. In a manner reminiscent of the operations that resulted in more than 80 […]
Dear editor: I am writing in regards to the border crossing between Fort Frances and International Falls. I read in our paper of the plans to widen Highway 53 from International Falls to Virginia, Mn. What happened to the idea of building a new bridge down river in the west […]
Dear sir: So, after much designing and re-designing, we have a new facility with “state of the art equipment”–the theatre called Townshend Theatre. This is great for our town. I was happy to see Natalie MacMaster is coming back to our town, and that she will be playing at the […]
