While I am sympathetic to the editorial on Addington Highlands proposed “Unreasonable Behaviour” policy, I am reminded of the adage that “the devil’s in the details.” I spent 8 years as a member of Central Frontenac Township Council. During that time, I was aware of instances where Council and staff… READ MORE

Your editorial presents some interesting observations. I applaud that Addington Highlands Council “has seen steady improvement” in their access to information. Regardless, one should look at the whole process pertaining to this policy. In the proposed Procedure of this Policy, only Council personnel (supervisor and CAO) determine the “unreasonableness” of… READ MORE

Just want to say I how disappointed I was with your coverage of Parham Fair. I have attended the fair for many. Many years but this year I was unable to. I was hoping to read about the ‘costume’ contest and the winners in the Palace – but no mention!… READ MORE

I appreciated the editorial “Independent Newspapers Outliving the Chains.” It always grieved me to see independent newspapers get snatched up by the chains. Your editorial puts into words what’s been difficult to articulate through the gradual erosion process. “The company at the centre the closure of the Ontario newspapers, Metroland,… READ MORE

At the unorthodox intersection of County Road 38 and Westport Road in Godfrey, ON, I still find myself in disbelief trying to look through the dirty backside of a huge double-posted sign that blocks my view of on-coming traffic from Verona/Kingston on Highway 38.  I cannot be the only driver… READ MORE

To all the soccer players and any people using the soccer fields at Centennial Park, please be careful and check the field for holes, and horse manure. There were 2 young ladies riding their horses on the soccer field the other day. They brought them in horse trailers. It is… READ MORE

So good to hear that Meta is removing its news content from Facebook and Instagram in Canada. After years of Facebook sponging off of mainstream media like television channels and newspapers, Canadians can be thankful that Meta is voluntarily abandoning its theft of professionally produced journalism which has done so… READ MORE

I just want to say how happy we are to have a wonderful restaurant close to home. The staff are friendly and the food is awesome! The staff is well paid so there is no tipping. The seafood (mussels, scallops, salmon, etc) is cooked just right and the steak is… READ MORE

It's hard to move to a new location where you don't know your way around and you don't know any of the people. At first, I couldn't drive anywhere without my GPS telling me where to go and I didn't know anyone to ask for help. I couldn't even run… READ MORE

Your headline about one newspaper for all Ontario, of June 29, does not go far enough. There is a paper for all Ontario, the Globe and Mail. All it needs is for a page insert for the various regions, no different than separate editions for Toronto, and BC. Part of… READ MORE

It’s clear that even with a four-day workweek, great service is still available from North Frontenac Township staff.  Several downed trees were blocking our road on Friday.  One quick call to a helpful township office staffer and someone was dispatched within the hour, quickly removing the trees with skill and… READ MORE

A congratulatory mention to Eva Ball on her recent retirement and she wrote up a note as follows: "Special thank you, Robert & Lucille Ball, for providing me the opportunity of driving a school bus for Ball Bus Lines! Over these past 10 years, I have developed many wonderful friendships with parents,… READ MORE

I just happened to pick up your June 29 newspaper at a friend’s cottage. I was shocked to read about the “Burn Bans” on the front page by Jeff Green with no mention of the cause of the bans. We are facing an increasingly serious climate crisis! If your paper… READ MORE
