I would like to remind Reeve Hogg of the excellent article in the June 10, 2010 issue of the Frontenac News entitled “Highway 41 Corridor: A History of Cloyne/Northbrook/Kaladar/Flinton/Denbigh”.
I wish to quote a paragraph from that article: "Tourism has turned out to be a more viable economic activity in the region, with the same lakes and woodlands that drew the interest of lumbermen a century earlier drawing the attention of canoeists, hunters and fishers, summer cottagers and campers." I believe this remains true today as when you stated it in your article five years ago. Mr. Hogg was reeve at that time. With his one vote he has given a positive check mark for two corporations to rape this region of its natural heritage and replace it with artificial, unreliable, costly suppliers - themselves made from minerals of the earth that are not renewable - of maybe a bit of electrical power to industries further south in Ontario.
I am saddened at his betrayal of this region that is now under siege.
