Letters to The Editor

Dear Editor:
In view of Minister Duncan’s recent and well publicized comment we should take the view that, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade,” and suggest the following as a solution to the job loses in Northwestern Ontario and the closing of the Atikokan Generating Station.

Dear Editor,
I feel the need to respond in regard to “one man’s opinion” in the council report Oct. 12th “All Fired Up.”

Letter to the editor,
Another successful Rainy River Walleye Tournament is in the record books and as we reflect on this and past years’ tournaments, and look to the future of the RRWT and other events that make small communities like Rainy River such great places to live, let us all remind ourselves of the truly magnificent contributions of all our community’s volunteers.

Letter to the editor,
Having just read the council briefs and seeing that the rec center is planning to renovate the facility, I can’t help but wonder what ever happened to those big “wall tents” that we used when we were in cubs and then later in Scouts?

Dear Editor,
On Thursday, Sept 29th, 130 students in the Rainy River District met at Crossroads school to play chess. It was an amazing, wonderful day.

Letter to the editor,
My name is Crystal Evans, and I live in Toronto. I am looking for my grandmother’s family, who grew up in Rainy River. Her name was Irene Findlay (not sure of spelling), and she had 15 brothers. I know my grandmother went to live back home for a while, in about 1960, after her daughter Judy (Evans) died in a fire in Toronto.

Hon. Harinder Takhar
Minister of Transportation
OPEN LETTER

Letter to the Editor:
I read with interest the account of the scooter rider on the international bridge. While he found some humour in the petty actions of a customs officer, I didn’t find anything to laugh at in my recent experience.
