Verona Foodland
Congratulations regarding the family handover of Verona’s Foodland. Family successions are great but it’s important that Clint and family were behind the wheel during COVID when our area was treated with concern and respect for seniors and all others when it was important to pay attention. Thank you Clint and… READ MORE
Water Test
I will be deeply disappointed if Ontario stops free ecoli testing. I have made sure over the years that my wells were tested, and while bacteria levels have varied over the years, it has always been a source of comfort the no ecoli has been detected. Frankly, water testing has… READ MORE

Finally! South Frontenac has caught up with the French Riviera I’m looking forward to letting it all hang out at the beach! John Sherbino READ MORE
Clothing Optional Beaches
I think a compromise which might win over the doubters would be to restrict this option to seniors in the evening. Wolfe Erlichman READ MORE
What Is The Province Thinking?
Timely and convenient well water testing is absolutely vital for the health and safety of our Township and County taxpayers. It is already a challenge for many of us to get to the Kingston lab, but their service is second to none for the confidence and care of our communities.… READ MORE
Earth Day
The ‘big cleanups’ to celebrate Earth Day are a fine gesture. We don’t like litter spread across our living space. But the folks who began Earth Day had some more in mind when they suggested that we ‘clean up’ our environment. For example, the invading colony of Phragmites (giant reed)… READ MORE
No Junk Mail, But Yes To Paper
I know the Post Office would like us to say, "Flyers"! It's Junk Mail, in a plastic bag of all things. We shouldn't be forced to take it just to receive the Frontenac News. There's no good reason other than.... the Big Baby in charge of junk mail had a tantrum,… READ MORE
NF Economic Development
The prehistoric dust collectors that call themselves North Frontenac Council, should vote themselves out. They are anti- business and tourism, and they have insulted the business community once again, by getting rid of the one important staffer at Plevna, and taking a step backwards. I hope Matt lands in a… READ MORE
NAEC Safety Breaches
I am absolutely appalled at your story about NAEC and the safety breaches. There are so many inaccuracies in the story that it makes me question how it even hit print, or why it was written. It's a polarized issue and you lack even the basic information to present it… READ MORE
Bylaw Officials
After reading the article in the paper regarding bylaw officer and their duties, I need to ask why they do not have the power to lay charges. When I found a large amount of garbage dumped on my land, I called the township of Central Frontenac and a bylaw officer… READ MORE
Flyer Fallout
As Canada Post sinks into the sunset of poorly managed businesses, It seems aimed at taking Independent and even all newspapers with it or to require all mail recipients to accept junk/flyer mail in order to bolster its revenue. Its latest policy says that if a newspaper has a (one… READ MORE

Normally new septic systems work good for 25 to 35 years without problems and re-inspections of these septic systems isn't necessary. Remediation tends to mean removing brush or small trees growing to close to the septic bed. Remediation problems can easily be taken care of through an education program directed… READ MORE
Re: My Friend Ken
Jonas, What a beautiful tribute to my late husband Ken. I wept as I read I t(something I've done an awful lot of lately). Thank you for painting such an accurate mental picture of him and how he was. I knew only too well his sarcastic wit and I used… READ MORE
For Ken, my friend at the dump
I always read the obituaries in the newspaper, as they're short stories of people’s lives. From the few lines you glean little pieces of a life, and with your imagination you put the rest of it together. Having lost my Dad in his early 50’s, I always pay attention to… READ MORE
Shame on you!
In your article “Education Night about Palestine” on page 5 of the December 21/2023 edition, there is an info graphic called “It didn’t start on October 7th”. I can only assume this was provided to you from the Kingston Islamic Centre and was used by you to “fill space” on… READ MORE
