I see that Brett Cameron is proposing to get the speed limit reduced on Road 38 between the Hydro substation and White Lake Road because of the bend. Has there been an issue on this part of the road? Perhaps he would like to put 60 km on all bends… READ MORE

The last couple of weeks I have read letters to the editor from people opposing assisted suicide. I agree that people shouldn’t have the right to die for no reason, but that’s happening anyway; they are just doing it themselves and leaving their family shocked and grieving because they didn’t… READ MORE

In order to get re-elected to reduce investments in health care, education and veteran’s support; to cut all environmental protections, to spy on you and protestors, and to subsidize big oil; the Harper Government needs to buy votes. So if you have a child under 18, he will give you… READ MORE

On the back page of the March 19th issue of the Frontenac News was a Letter to the editor. This is unusual I thought, and I noticed it was written by my neighbour, Jule Koch, so I read it. I am very glad that I did even though it left… READ MORE

A big thank you note to Mayor Francis Smith and the Central Frontenac works crews. I worked for a very large municipality and always heard complaints about everything under the sun and moon. It was nice just every so often I and my fellow municipal employees got a note of… READ MORE

Councilors, Please reverse your decision on not installing a culvert at the old railway bridge on Road 38 as it would halve the construction time, halve the cost, halve the disruption and make it safer for all who use the highway. By the way, what happened to the $600,000 estimate… READ MORE

Addington Highlands council (Addington Highlands Council, Mar 19/15) is wise to take a go-slow response in respect to NextEra Energy's effort to gain support for a huge wind power project that will see 100 turbines blotting the local landscape. Those turbines will each need as much as 400 tons of cement… READ MORE

It is interesting to examine the letter (Re: Addington Highlands Wind Project, Mar 26/15) written by Mr. Parker Gallant, a well known anti-wind proponent, about the proposed wind project. You also published a letter (Re: Addington Highlands Wind Project, Mar 26/15) from Helen Forsey on this topic. While Ms. Forsey's letter was… READ MORE

Windmills are beautiful! I object to Councilors Fritsch and Thompson calling windmills "eyesores"(Addington Highlands Council, Mar 19/15). I happen to think that they are beautiful and I would gladly look at them every day so I could admire their beauty. Having said that, the municipality will receive compensation, which will… READ MORE

Thank you for your extensive report (Addington Highlands Council, Mar 19/15) and commentary (What it is about Wind, Editorial, Mar 19/15) on the possible wind energy project in North Frontenac and Addington Highlands. It is very important to have a full and informed discussion of this possibility, and you are… READ MORE

I, and many others, have lost a good friend who died on Mar 11 in Toronto after a battle with an only recentlydiagnosed aggressive disease. He will be sorely missed by many whose lives he gently touched. He leaves no enemies behind. Carolyn McCulloch, past chair of the Cloyne and… READ MORE

Last week, my daughter and her friend went missing from school. It was a frightening experience for us, as parents. The staff of the school were well organized and compassionate. The teachers, bus drivers and other parents came to help us in any way they could. The police department and… READ MORE

Jeff, your observations regarding groundhogs (Groundhog Day Should be Banned, Editorial, Mar 12/14) were much appreciated. I agree –the belief around groundhogs being the harbingers of spring is a myth. Indeed, my grandfather taught me the true way to predict when spring is on its way when I was three… READ MORE

Re: Tichborne girl makes a go of it in Parham I really enjoyed the article on Mary Howes: Tichborne girl makes a go of it in Parham, whom I have known for many years. I was a telegraph operator with the CPR for 5 years, having apprenticed under Tom Asseltine… READ MORE

I've been wondering a lot about this, these days. Like, when I hear that four of "my" Ministers of the Crown have been doing stuff that is so cockeyed, so dumb, so adverse to ordinary common sense, I don't know where to complain or whom to complain to. I'll explain… READ MORE

Excellent editorial (Highway Robbery in Glenburnie, Feb. 26) on the coming battle with the Province over development rules. The gist of it: The bureaucrats will be saying: If you don't have large-scale development to satisfy our appetite for vast paperwork and fees, then we won't let you build anything at… READ MORE
