I was made aware of the heartbreaking photo on the front page of your publication (Day of the Pig, May 21) with the slaughtered young pig being roasted on a spit for a celebration. I and many others feel this was very inappropriate as a photo. Many of us believe that… READ MORE

I am writing to you because as a vegan and animal rights advocate I just wanted to let you know how your front cover story (Day of the Pig, May 21) made me feel. I have gotten to know pigs that are kept as pets and they have individual personalities and… READ MORE

I do enjoy your news paper and you do a lovely job but wanted to mention that I found the photo of the pig (Day of the Pig, May 21) being roasted quite disturbing. I am not a vegetarian but none the less still thought the photo of the pig's corpse… READ MORE

Featuring a slaughtered, dismembered intelligent being on the front page of your paper (Day of the Pig, May 21), or anywhere in your paper, is grossly offensive, inappropriate, and disturbing to anyone who has not desensitized their hearts to the horror of it. Had it been a dog, would you have… READ MORE

The National Football League has a rule where coaches are able to challenge plays and referee calls and this same challenge should be in the National Hockey League as well. In the rules of the National Football League, teams are given a maximum of two challenges. If a challenge is… READ MORE

What a difference three months makes in politics. I was at the Liberal Campaign meeting on a Sunday in February in Mayor John Fenik’s office at City Hall in Perth. At that time, he was the campaign manager for Liberal candidate Philippe Archambault. Mayor Fenik wasn’t running for Parliament himself,… READ MORE

I believe I have a few good ideas for our OHIP to save a few billion dollars. Heart disease, Diabetes and obesity have been getting a big hunk of the OHIP budget, as well as causing the loss of man hours, etc. I'm sure that farmers would be glad to… READ MORE

Harper has now vowed to use Canada's (Harper's) recently altered Hate-Speech laws against the United Church, the Quakers, and presumably the Catholic Church for criticizing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Scott: I think Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is akin to what the German government did to Jews in Germany prior to… READ MORE

Isn’t it amazing how the Central Frontenac Council can now find $255,000 in savings. Yet just a few weeks past, when setting the budget, they looked high & low but could not find any reductions, or savings or any opportunities for consolidation of projects. Their supposed best effort, on behalf… READ MORE

I read with interest the notice in the last issue of the Frontenac News calling for tenders for Road 38 overpass removal. There are probably not too many people living in Sharbot Lake today who were living here prior to the construction of the overpass. I am one of them.… READ MORE

I have traveled all over the world – 79 countries in fact, and honestly loved Nepal. The people were poor but so kind, decent, hospitable and trustworthy. In fact it was a lot nicer place and population than most first world countries. So if you can spare even a $10… READ MORE

Question for the Day – What is left over from 1837, is unelected, unaccountable, unrepentant, whose “purpose is to protect the Prime Minister”and costs each Canadian about $2,500 each year to the tune of $90 million every year? And how does that make you feel? Norm Hart READ MORE

I celebrate the court's decision on assisted suicide because it gives people back some rights over their own body and mind. Society often misuses energy trying fruitlessly to restrict what people do with their own body. I'm grateful that we are moving towards being responsible for our own bodies. The… READ MORE

I'd like to float the idea that at the upcoming All Candidates meetings, we the people get the last word. We get to ask a question, the candidates answer, and then we get an optional ten second closing statement. P.S. on the TFSA: Scott Reid and the Conservatives supported a… READ MORE

I think Steve Duggan (Re: Scott Reid's flyer, April 23) was being a bit harsh on Scott Reid. The flyer, for the first time, gives actual choices, rather than the usual, "Are you for/against pedophiles, terrorists, etc." This is a big first step for Mr. Reid and should be applauded.… READ MORE

I was talking to a lady who has five riding horses, and she told me that to protect against the ticks that carry Lyme's disease, people should get Guinea Hens, at least one. Their favorite food is ticks. We always had one on our farm to warn us of owls… READ MORE
