Many permanent and seasonal residents, as well as the tourists so vital to the North Frontenac economy undoubtedly disagree with Jeff Green's opinion (Editorial, The Limitsl of Municipal Jurisdiction, Aug 4/16) that it would be disastrous for the province to accede to mayor Ron Higgins' demand to make municipal support mandatory… READ MORE

I recently became aware of a campaign to stop the refurbishment of the hydro-electric facility on the Mississippi River in Almonte. I was struck by the passion shown by the opponents of this project. It is similar to the passion shown by opponents of wind projects in North Frontenac and… READ MORE

If school boundaries were enforced and all children who live in the Verona catchment area actually attended the school then all three schools (Prince Charles, Harrowsmith… READ MORE

I have read Jeff Green's editorial Verona is being betrayed, once again July 7/16, on the unfortunate events that now may lead to the closure of Prince Charles school in Verona. I would like to talk about Land O' Lakes school and its own deal with the devil. Nine years ago… READ MORE

It’s been one of the driest springs on record. How lucky we are to be able to spend our hot days enjoying the many waterways in the region. Lately as I drive through Lanark County towards Big Rideau Lake I am seeing dead or dying red clover, daisies, milkweed, buttercups,… READ MORE

(Outdoors in the Land o’Lakes,Caterpillar Invasion, Jun 23/16). I was glad to learn there are 2 types, one with a tent, one without. We have encountered both in our trees. I tried the soap and water and propane torch for awhile to try to control them but I read about… READ MORE

We would like to thank the Central Frontenac Volunteer Fire Fighters, our neighbors, the Lennox Addington Ambulance Paramedics and the Great War Memorial Hospital Emergency department.

Village Beautiful Mountain Grove had been doing an amazing job making the town look vibrant, lived in and loved.

My wife and I lived in Verona for many years; then in 2015 we decided to move to a retirement home for health reasons. I had a top of the line scooter, cost $3,740 in Sept 2014. I wanted this scooter to go to a handicapped person, as I would… READ MORE

The May 26 article (MVCA on who will pay for dams in North Frontenac, May 26/16) on who may be liable for costs associated with Mississippi River dam repair/replacement was more reassuring than the initial April report, which alluded to possible taxes/assessments limited to landowners with waterfront property, but many questions… READ MORE

An open letter to the Central Frontenac Council concerning various by-law issues (Noise and safe property bylaws in Central Frontenac, May 12/16) About 44 years ago, I tried living in a tidy suburban development, and hated it so much that I moved back into downtown Toronto as quickly as possible.… READ MORE
