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

Bud has been a family friend for over 50 years and has always been dedicated to many causes over the years. His main project in recent years has been The Pine Meadows Retirement Home to which he dedicated many hours to obtain funding to have it upgraded. Because of his… 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. Public servants acting on behalf of elected government at all levels, including those at the municipal level,… READ MORE

There are some real gem items to be found at The Treasure Trunk in Sharbot Lake. The store is a gift to the community, as it takes in unwanted items or unsold yard sale offerings and sells them to others who are in need of a bargain. From the deals… READ MORE

I wish to express with great appreciation and gratitude, a big thanks to the North Frontenac Council for the installation of the North Frontenac Star Gazing Pad on Road 506, complete with picnic tables, benches and very well kept washrooms. We have been getting many compliments about our Dark Sky… READ MORE

There's a rumour that Shawenegog Lake Lane leading to Shabomeka Lake Beach is apparently slated to suffer the same fate as Shabomeka Lake Road. We fear that the same minds that determined that a dead-end cottage road had to be highwayized, will now determine that Shawenegog Lake Lane, which has adequately… READ MORE

  I wish to thank Mr. Edward Kennedy for his excellent letter Re: Mandatory Septic Re-Inspection,  July 10/14. Mr. Kennedy should receive the common sense award for July. There are too many enemies of freedom in all Frontenac townships. One can usually judge them since they all have square heads… READ MORE

Brent Cameron's comments on mandatory septic re-inspection (Letters, Jul 3/14) once again are accurate and articulate to the point I would urge him to either run for mayor or else step up to the plate when either Scott or Randy retire. I do have some news for Central Frontenac Township… READ MORE

Jeff Green's July 3 editorial in praise of tolerance in Canada (Pride in Canada, Jul 3/14), which is exemplified for him by the Pride parade in Toronto, ignores the fact that there is no tolerance or protection in Canada for gay people or for any other Canadians at the beginning… READ MORE
