Let's admit that it is not true that "this Council always gathers the facts, data and information so that they make informed decisions".  Citizens know better and so do you!  But now is a perfect time for you and the Old Guard on Council to actually start listening.  It would… READ MORE

The letters critical of North Frontenac Mayor, Ron Higgin's' earlier complaints about press coverage of council were unduly harsh given the issues he raised. As a former newspaper editor, who dealt with news at municipal, national and international levels for some years, and who trained journalists, I would have to… READ MORE

This is in reference to Mayor Higgins’ letter  of June 27 to the Frontenac News. Really? whose fake news is it? The newspaper or the Mayor? It is not entirely his fault as he is encouraged on what to do and say within his role as mayor. It would be… READ MORE

I take exception to Mr. Higgins being offended about sarcastic remarks, eg "used to working in the dark....". This must have struck a chord for a number of reasons. This non-elected mayor and council has abandoned tourism and businesses in the region. Furthermore, during recent floods, they had zero plans… READ MORE

While NF mayor Ron Higgins’ recent letter to the the Frontenac News editor (“Working in the Dark”) may represent an expression of his free speech, it is disturbing that an elected official might undertake either privately or publicly to persuade, cajole or pressure the news media to tailor its reporting… READ MORE

It has come time for me to defend the Township from items being reported in the media that I take issue with. In the last edition of the Frontenac News Craig Bakay stated "A planned power outage happened at the meeting right on schedule at 11:30 am. Council carried on,… READ MORE

Our now independent, formerly Progressive Conservative,  M.P.P., Randy Hillier, an earlier victim (or possible future beneficiary) of Doug Ford's emergent incompetence must truly feel a strong sense of vindication these days as the ruling party in the province implodes amid a public chorus of booing and a feeding frenzy of… READ MORE

The Frontenac News report on the “Septic Savvy Seminar” held in North Frontenac was discouraging. The critical role of septic systems in conserving water quality in the lakes was never made clear. That role is prevention of nutrients from entering the lake from septic systems. The discussion of “pollution” and… READ MORE

I was not surprised to see the Plevna “One Small Town” concept fizzle/fail/go off the rails – pick your metaphor – it was just a question of when. The concept was too akin to some of the 19th century Utopian movements in the USA (which, to the best of my… READ MORE

Although it's not surprising that the so-called "One Small Town" initiative has "fizzled", I don't think it's anything for North Frontenac Township to be embarrassed about. Which of us hasn't had nutty ideas at one time or another? Sometimes they work out; then they are called "creative". More often they don't. But so what?… READ MORE

Page 3 of your May 23 edition was of great interest to me, dealing as it did with community improvement. I agree with the Morrisons that all most properties need to improve their look is a bit of hard work on the part of their owners. There are, however, some… READ MORE

In Frontenac News of May 9, 2019, an article by Jeff Green praises a group attending a Tourism Conference. Mr. Green is to be commended for bringing this effort to our attention once again. We sincerely hope that it results in action. Over the last few years, CF Council have… READ MORE

I maintain both the Cataraqui Trail (Perth Rd to Hwy 38 ie 18 km) and the Rideau Trail between Perth Rd and Upper Rock Lake access (section 05C,D and E i.e. 13 km). Every year I pick up the garbage on the Perth Road section 05C which is about 1.4… READ MORE

Spring is flood season. We all try to protect our homes against the rising water, but the level is higher each year. We need to fight the current flood but we also need to slow or stop that increase in flood levels in coming years. Here are some basics to… READ MORE

At the April meeting of the Limestone District School Board, it was announced that if the Conservative’s education cuts go through, the Board will have at least 77 fewer Secondary Teachers by three years from now. If these cuts are allowed to stand, they will devastate rural schools like Granite… READ MORE
