Your article on North Frontenac Council's OPP cost crisis (October 16) is timely. The spiraling increase in OPP costs should encourage councilors and residents to ask some hard questions. Nationally, crime is falling rapidly (over 25% in the last decade) but police costs continue to rise. Police in Canada are… READ MORE

I attended a Central Frontenac council meeting on Oct 14/14, the first time for a long time - I guess a too-long time. It was interesting to observe the councilors/mayor and township staff going about the issues on the agenda, one of the issues being payment of an invoice from… READ MORE

I do not consider myself to be a bigot of any kind, but when I opened the mail telling me how to vote I was enraged. The good people at Central Frontenac should have realized that we, as Canadians, are now at war with the Islamic State army. They should… READ MORE

Dear Editor I assume most of your readers will know that I’m running for council in the upcoming municipal election. To this end I rented the Kennebec community hall, from 4:30pm until 7:30pm, for a meet and greet with the rate payers of Kennebec ward. When I arrived at the… READ MORE

The article “History of Meals on Wheels” in your October 9 issue refers to "the first home delivery after the war......in 1943!!” I am not aware of any war that ended in England in 1943. D-Day was June 6, 1944 and VE Day was May 8, 1945. LEST WE FORGET!!!!… READ MORE

I would like to say thank you to a real Good Samaritan who was there when I needed help. I am a volunteer driver and I took a client to KGH on Sept. 15 for an appointment. I was sitting in my car at the main entrance when a man… READ MORE

Please add my voice to that of Leo Ladouceur (Letter to the editor September 18, 2014). I can only wonder how many services $41,000 could buy that would benefit full time long term residents of North Frontenac. Has Councillor Hunter publicly apologised for her thoughtless comments regarding cuts to our… READ MORE

Jeff Green started off his September 4th North Frontenac Council Report with the headline "Dark Skies and Helipad in conflict." Well, the conflict over Dark Skies extends much deeper than the 506 Helicopter pad. Voters throughout North Frontenac are lining up to tell incumbents and those vying for a seat… READ MORE

This is Democracy Week and how does it make you feel that you can be elected as an MP with only 7% of the registered voters voting for you? Not very good, I’m sure, especially when the winner says he has a mandate from the people! In the June Ontario… READ MORE

My new photo ID Ontario driver’s licence, with the Organ Donor permission card, arrived today. After filling in the Organ Donor card I have a concern. What if the prospective organ recipient sees my photo? He or she will have two questions: in what cemetery did you find this cadaver,… READ MORE

One of the main pillars of democracy is a non-politicized civil service. The Harper government has changed all that and a good example is the Canada Revenue Agency. The CRA has been attacking environmental charities and left-leaning think tanks as part of the Harper government's partisan attack on perceived enemies.… READ MORE

I just made an interesting discovery that I want to share with locals and visitors alike. A lot of people like me were not aware that a fashion boutique exists right here in Sharbot Lake and it’s called the Junction Factory Outlet. Now you won’t find any ‘Armani or Christian… READ MORE

Letter to Mayor Clayton, North Frontenac Township I have never written to you before as I have never the need to as I do right now. I would just like to ask what is going to happen to the River Road, how many more patch jobs is it going to… READ MORE

Public servants, including police, conservation and by-law enforcement officers, are ill served by the letter from Edward Kennedy of July 10, 2014, which, in addition to being irresponsible, is replete with factual inaccuracies.
