News Release

Over the last week or two I’ve felt both great pride and great disappointment in the work of others. I remain extremely proud of the efforts of our local event organizers and the region’s amateur athletes, but disappointed by the continuing misadventures of the Harper government in Ottawa.

I really like the new Fort Frances Public Library. It is bright and airy and a welcoming place to be. I can sit down with a book off the shelf and begin reading. If after one or two pages, and I find that I am not enjoying the writer, I can return it to the shelf and begin the search for another book.
If I am going to be late in returning the book, I can go on line and extend the lending time. I can borrow books, movies, and music. I can reserve books for the future from home or at the library for future reading. Technology has made that all possible.

I have just finished reading my boss's column (down below) as I start writing this Korner.
It is truely amazing how much technological advances have come.
