Thank you so much to the person who left their baby’s soiled diaper on top of the garbage containers beside our outdoor mailboxes at Centennial Park. The containers were overstuffed with Tim Horton’s coffee cups and unwanted mail and even some kitchen garbage. I especially enjoyed the neatly tied dog… READ MORE

Here's what has actually happened in the Snow Road tower affair, for those confused by some of the ambiguity--to use a polite expression--in the Sept 3 article "Communications Tower Approval Process". In April 2015 the township of North Frontenac, by By-law 35-156, agreed that in the event of any telecommunications… READ MORE

For years I have been maintaining ten kilometers of hiking and cross-country bicycle trails on my private land near Ompah. Every weekend in spring and fall and most days throughout the summer ATV and dirt bikers trespass, joyride and tear up these trails. Whenever I can stop and confront them,… READ MORE

I do not belong to the Sharbot Lake Business Group or the Rural Tourism Group floating the new railway plan. I arrived in Sharbot Lake 54 years ago when Sharon MacDonald was a lovely young student I would see in the halls at Sharbot Lake High School and Nelda Whan… READ MORE

I believe some have missed the point. The real crisis in Canada today is in leadership. If people would open their eyes and minds to what is happening in parliament they would see the deceit and corruption, all fostered by the little man who has taken control of our country… READ MORE

I read, with increasing disquiet, the letter to the editor regarding the federal government in your latest edition (2020-08-30). While I share Mr. Balogh’s concern regarding ethical breaches, his inflammatory language poorly serves his cause.

Your correspondent G. Leslie Balogh asserts that the pandemic mandate is "more 'fear-mongering' than a genuine medical reality — filled with medical propaganda and manipulation." What rock was he born under? A Canadian citizen like himself, I also taught high school — science in my case, for thirty years. I… READ MORE

As a taxpayer and resident of Frontenac Central Frontenac, I was concerned when I read the article in the August 20, 2020, vol. 20, no.33 paper, entitled “Sharbot Lake group floating new railway plan.” I felt it was necessary to voice my thoughts and opinions. I have lived in Sharbot… READ MORE

The staff at Frontenac News have continued to do a great job through the Pandemic period reporting to the readership BUT front page news is not where many of us look when the paper arrives.
