I am reading Lisa Moore’s new book, “Flannery.” It’s classified as a “Young Adult” novel but to me it’s clearly a book that needs no classification; it is a book for all of us. So read it. I implore you. You won’t be sorry. Moore is able to capture the […]
After months of planning and preparation, the 2017 FLW Tour bass tournament season starts this week at Lake Guntersville, Ala. Some 165 anglers are fishing the circuit this year and everybody is looking to get off to a good start, with the end goal for most anglers being to qualify […]
One of my favourite “what life is really about” pieces of writing was penned by the very, very wise female columnist, Mary Schmich, which garnered her the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 2012. Reading it slowly (and it’s best said out loud) takes about five minutes and holds, in my […]

Dear editor: This in reference to your article in the Fort Frances Times two weeks ago, where your reporter was given all the information about the new addition to your town’s business section. Knowing nothing about marijuana (or pot if you use the vernacular), I find it interesting that we […]
The ban on accepting Muslim refugees into the United States may have a silver lining for Canada. Several huge technology companies in the U.S. already are asking the Canadian government to provide special exemptions for their employees to stay in our country.
