Chris Lowe Dear editor: I totally agree with the letter in last Wednesday’s paper written by Peter and Linda York regarding the selling of the property on Front and Nelson Streets to a contractor in Thunder Bay. I thought the mayor and council were willing to support the Assisted Living […]
John Northey Dear editor: A big thank you to the organizers of the hockey tournament for Novice- and Atom-aged girls last weekend (Feb. 5-7) in Fort Frances. My daughter had a blast from not just playing hockey but also the extras like the Sock Hop, which was fantastic. Our team […]
Rudolf K. F. Zeitlhofer Dear sir: It is not often that reading an article in the Fort Frances Times brings forth a feeling of utter astonishment yet “OSSTF, school board still at odds” (Feb. 10) managed to do just that. I am not at all surprised that so many teachers […]
There has been a great deal of negative reporting about the state of journalism over the past few months. As I read the news items and listen to the commentators, one would think that newspapers, independent television stations, and radio stations are about to die. Yes, there will be some […]

Selenium deficiency has been associated with a number of problems in cattle, including white muscle disease, increased susceptibility to infectious disease, reproductive problems, mastitis, and lower-than-expected rates of gain.

The first event of the 2016 FLW Tour took place last week down in Clewiston, Fla. on Lake Okeechobee. Some 170 anglers are fishing the Tour this year, which features six events across the U.S. and wraps up in June at Lake Champlain in Vermont. Last week, I wrote about […]
Congratulations to Joe Bodnar, who agreed to take on the position of president of the Rainy River District 4-H Leaders’ Association at its annual meeting over the weekend. It was great to see a few new faces take over some of the committees with this group. Like we say over […]
“Lost and found” boxes are a wonderful idea. One glove missing from a pair. A watch with a broken band. A hat with only a tiny hole in it. A little chain that doesn’t seem to belong to anything. A billfold with the ID missing. Oh, you’d be surprised at […]

On the bright side, a myriad of events is indicative of a vibrant community. The downside, of course, is that multiple events being held simultaneously can […]
