At our November 10th public meeting in Snow Road with representatives of EORN (Eastern Ontario Regional Network), we were basically informed that North Frontenac and Lanark Highlands can expect no help whatsoever from EORN to expedite either cellular or improved internet service in our huge “dead zone” area. The message… READ MORE

I don't know who was more entertained on Monday, Outdoors columnist Steve Blight or the mix of three, four, and five-year-old children at St. Patrick's School in Harrowsmith. We had asked Steve to come and speak to the children after a Golden-crowned Kinglet flew into a window at our school… READ MORE

Just wanted to comment on Mr. Wallace's article (Letters, Nov 27/14) about our so-called smart meters. I agree with his remarks and would like to add a few more bits of information about the meters. I have had my battles with Hydro since last spring. Just recently I had discussions… READ MORE

Since smart meters (meters which electronically record kilowatts used) were introduced in Ontario there have been hundreds, perhaps thousands of users across the province who have received hydro bills which are double, triple or even quadruple from normal. The basic reasons for this happening: dumb smart meters or dumb smart… READ MORE

Kudos to Jeff Green for his November 13 editorial on the financial dilemma that way too many people in our communities are facing. I refer to it as the cancer that is eating away at the underside of society. Bless you Jeff for exposing it, bringing the truth to the… READ MORE

Peter Mackay's online spying Bill C-13 look's an awful lot like Vic (you can either stand with us or the child pornographers) Toews Bill C-30. Without any real oversight, it would give telecom providers legal immunity for handing over your private information to the government without a warrant. Victims of… READ MORE

Privacy is a fundamental right in any healthy democracy. By spying on us and collecting our private information in giant databases, the Harper government is doing enormous damage to Canadian democracy. Peter MacKay’s Online Spying Bill C-13 will enable authorities to monitor the private lives of innocent Canadians, without any… READ MORE

The Addington Highlands Council meeting information published on Nov. 6 indicated that two complaints on snow being plowed onto lots were presented. I would like it clarified that the complaints were raised by Wayne and Cheryl Delore and not Wayne Marsh, as erroneously indicated by the title of the letter… READ MORE

As a proud member of the Land O’ Lakes Emmanuel United Church I strongly disagree with the comments made by Marie White (Letters, the Frontenac News, Nov 6/14) regarding the sad legacy that Rev. Judith Everton left. Rev. Judith was able to unite the three churches and the members of… READ MORE

I would like to clarify the article written about Addington Highlands Council in the Nov 6 issue. I, Wayne Marsh, of 54 Denison Drive attended a council meeting requesting help in cleaning out the culvert at the entrance to my drive way as it accumulated a large amount of sediment… READ MORE

I tried to vote the weekend before the 27th but I lost the paper with my PIN # on it. So I called the township on the 27th. They said I had to come in. I could not go (it was a PA day for the schools and I had… READ MORE

I would like to express my thanks to the person or persons unknown for their efforts in helping me fertilize my lawn. As I was using my lawn mower to mulch the leaves I was surprised by a pile of fertilizer hidden under a pile of leaves. How thoughtful. How… READ MORE

As a practising Christian I feel compelled to respond to Marie White’s recent vicious attack (Letters, The Frontenac News, Nov 6/14) on Reverend Judith Evenden, and by association the whole congregation of the Land O’ Lakes Emmanuel United Church. It is a reality that traditional Christian congregations are decreasing in… READ MORE

I recently received a post card from our M.P. Scott Reid reminding me to honour our veterans by going to a Remembrance Day service. This prompted me to write this letter to remind Mr. Scott and his government not to be hypocrites and to honour our veterans by taking better… READ MORE

In the wake of the election in North Frontenac, I want to congratulate your paper on your excellent coverage of the campaign, and wish the new mayor and councillors well. A word of caution, however, about the notion that municipal government is "a business", and that we, the residents, are… READ MORE

There was a farewell party last week for Reverend Evenden and Eleanor. She leaves behind three closed and sold churches: Harlowe, Flinton and Cloyne, plus a sold Manse and a split congregation. It's a sad legacy, very sad. Marie White READ MORE
