Re: Randy Hillier
I’m writing my second letter about you Randy, not out of anger, or hatred, or disrespect. I’m writing a plea for you to listen to anyone but yourself. You and your family decided to host a Christmas party with 15 people in attendance. Our conservative government that you were apart… READ MORE

Credit rating
The American Fitch credit rating agency's recent downgrading of Canada's credit rating was sadly predictable given the incompetent track record and history of this privately owned company (part of the Hearst media empire), and Canadians would do well to ignore the political posturings which invariably inform its frequently absurd pronouncements,… READ MORE
Randy Hillier
"Video contradicts MPP Hillier's Version of Son's Tasering" by Jeff Greene 10/10/20 is another criticism/attack on our MPP using a blurred and illegible image supposedly as proof of the allegations made by Jeff Green. I am of course not surprised but I wonder if Jeff Green will soon be criticizing… READ MORE
Common Sense
I was returning from Perth the other day and was pleased and surprised to see an individual burning up a dead tree in his yard in the daytime. What common sense to have the ability to have a debris fire in the daytime! I was planning my own fire in… READ MORE
Unhappy with NFTC
Last week I was somewhat surprised to learn NFTC [North Frontenac Telehone Company] had changed its billing practice regarding winter suspension of phone and DSL service for seasonal customers. The past charge of $5 monthly for dsl suddenly increased to a monthly charge of $25, a whopping increase by any… READ MORE
Season of hope
I’ve been thinking a lot about the rural life I love and the city-centric focus of the COVID experience. This is a politically loaded letter. So, right out of the gate, let me say that I have great respect for Scott Reid, our Federal representative in Ottawa. I also have… READ MORE
SF Bag Tags
When I looked at the information supplied to us by the Municipality and the media, I was surprised that the present tag system might change. Thank you, Frontenac News, for telling us this was a consideration as I am at a loss as to what the goal was of changing… READ MORE

In the article, we are informed that “Staff has asked Council to consider introducing a user pay system whereby single-family dwellings would no longer… READ MORE
Hinchinbrooke road
A decision to refurbish this road as a temporary fix until more permanent repairs are completed, has only added to the deplorable state of it’s repair. I invited Mr. Segsworth to drive this road in order to obtain first hand knowledge of it’s conditioning, Mr. Segsworth agreed to the request,… READ MORE
Randy Hillier
Our MPP Randy Hillier engaged in a protest outside of Queens Park, something were all quite familiar with, but this protest was about masks.

Federal COVID Response
Dear Mr. Trudeau, while aware of your justified hesitance and admirable restraint, with respect to the use of emergency powers, given your late father's invocation of the War Measures Act in Quebec during the October Crisis, it is now long past time to invoke at least some emergency measures for… READ MORE
On amalgamation
I am a somewhat recent arrival to the Central Frontenac area, having come just after amalgamation. My postal address includes RR2 of Arden. When my then wife and I arrived in 2003, we were encouraged by the fact that within a five minute drive of our residence were a good… READ MORE
Re – Our rebel MPP
Thanks Jeff, for the great picture of Randy our rebel MPP. I do believe if the truth was known, you would be astounded by the numbers of the 12000 households this paper reaches, who are in agreement with Mr. Hillier. Many of us certainly question the direction given by our… READ MORE
Re: Randy Hillier
I am responding to the Nov 5th article, 'Lockdowns, Restrictions & Our MPP.' As one of Randy Hillier's 17,000 Twitter followers, I know of 10+ other people who don't have Twitter accounts who also hold similar views to MPP Hillier's; and we appreciate that we have a voice in the… READ MORE
How to Cope With Winter
Considering that we have 4 seasons and that winter can be l-o-o-o-ong, why not flip that feeling of hating winter into a more positive, embracing one? Dress in layers of clothing, warm mitts and step outside...try to have a positive attitude. Just go out for 10-15 minutes initially. Just look… READ MORE
