Letters to The Editor

Tracy Parsons

Dear Editor,
A proposal giving the U.S. Department of Commerce everything it has been seeking but has been unable to win before WTO and NAFTA panels “could figure in discussions with the Americans as early as next week.” All tribunals have found claims that Canadian forest management practices perceived by the Americans as providing lumber exporters with advantages to be unfounded.

Mrs. Bernice

Dear Editor,
I have really enjoyed reading the Rainy River Record for the past few months. I was particularly interested in knowing who I would meet during the centennial. I was rather disappointed how few people I met even though I knew they were somewhere in town. On the other hand, it was great for Rainy River that so many people returned and couldn’t even be found in our small picturesque town.

Dear Editor,
My name is Lisa Bolen and I am both a former resident of the area and a fourth year nursing student at the University of Manitoba. I am writing in response to the article “Palliative care volunteers sought” by Wilma Sletmoen in the February 8 edition.

Doug Anderson

Deart Record Staff,
Your article on my Great Uncle, Eddie Joseph Anderson prompted me to do some more rummaging through my old photos and records. Indeed, the Anderson you wrote about who died in WWI was my great uncle.

Doug Anderson

Dear Editor,
I want to congratulate you on printing the stories of the heroes of WWI in your paper. I agree, these people should not be forgotten. I heard about the school project on CBC radio last fall. My great uncle is Eddie J Anderson. I think he is the person who appeared in your last issue, but there are some contradictions.

Gord Armstrong.

Dear Editor,
Over the past couple years, much talk has taken place that the Evangelical Covenant Church in Rainy River is planning to construct a new facility. Yes, we are excited in that we are endeavoring to build a much larger handicap accessible structure.

To the Editor,
Friends from Vancouver were staying with us over the holidays and we all watched the morning news on the 28th in a collective state of shock as the latest footage from Asia came rolling across the TV screen.

Glen Armstrong
Mayor
Town of Rainy River

Dear Citizens:
We, the Town of Rainy River, are putting forward a fundraising campaign in conjunction with the Canadian Red Cross Society to provide relief aid to the disaster stricken South Asia.
