My new photo ID Ontario driver’s licence, with the Organ Donor permission card, arrived today. After filling in the Organ Donor card I have a concern. What if the prospective organ recipient sees my photo? He or she will have two questions: in what cemetery did you find this cadaver,… READ MORE

One of the main pillars of democracy is a non-politicized civil service. The Harper government has changed all that and a good example is the Canada Revenue Agency. The CRA has been attacking environmental charities and left-leaning think tanks as part of the Harper government's partisan attack on perceived enemies.… READ MORE

I just made an interesting discovery that I want to share with locals and visitors alike. A lot of people like me were not aware that a fashion boutique exists right here in Sharbot Lake and it’s called the Junction Factory Outlet. Now you won’t find any ‘Armani or Christian… READ MORE

Letter to Mayor Clayton, North Frontenac Township I have never written to you before as I have never the need to as I do right now. I would just like to ask what is going to happen to the River Road, how many more patch jobs is it going to… READ MORE

Public servants, including police, conservation and by-law enforcement officers, are ill served by the letter from Edward Kennedy of July 10, 2014, which, in addition to being irresponsible, is replete with factual inaccuracies. Public servants acting on behalf of elected government at all levels, including those at the municipal level,… READ MORE

There are some real gem items to be found at The Treasure Trunk in Sharbot Lake. The store is a gift to the community, as it takes in unwanted items or unsold yard sale offerings and sells them to others who are in need of a bargain. From the deals… READ MORE

I wish to express with great appreciation and gratitude, a big thanks to the North Frontenac Council for the installation of the North Frontenac Star Gazing Pad on Road 506, complete with picnic tables, benches and very well kept washrooms. We have been getting many compliments about our Dark Sky… READ MORE

There's a rumour that Shawenegog Lake Lane leading to Shabomeka Lake Beach is apparently slated to suffer the same fate as Shabomeka Lake Road. We fear that the same minds that determined that a dead-end cottage road had to be highwayized, will now determine that Shawenegog Lake Lane, which has adequately… READ MORE

  I wish to thank Mr. Edward Kennedy for his excellent letter Re: Mandatory Septic Re-Inspection,  July 10/14. Mr. Kennedy should receive the common sense award for July. There are too many enemies of freedom in all Frontenac townships. One can usually judge them since they all have square heads… READ MORE

Brent Cameron's comments on mandatory septic re-inspection (Letters, Jul 3/14) once again are accurate and articulate to the point I would urge him to either run for mayor or else step up to the plate when either Scott or Randy retire. I do have some news for Central Frontenac Township… READ MORE

Jeff Green's July 3 editorial in praise of tolerance in Canada (Pride in Canada, Jul 3/14), which is exemplified for him by the Pride parade in Toronto, ignores the fact that there is no tolerance or protection in Canada for gay people or for any other Canadians at the beginning… READ MORE

The comparison between Ontario and California’s respective debt status as expressed in Edward Kennedy’s letter (Election Blues, Jun 26/14), is an invidious one. This negative interpretation of Ontario’s debt, is based upon a study by the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute, a body which purports to be highly academic and objective but which… READ MORE

I give Councillor Norm Guntensperger credit for being the one to raise an important, and potentially serious, issue at Central Frontenac Council – regarding bringing in mandatory septic system inspections. I join with the proponents of the plan in their desire to ensure that septic systems are in working order… READ MORE

Our communities of Central Frontenac are very fortunate to have such dedicated and caring volunteers. Too many times we take their hard work for granted so as a citizen of this area I would like to say thank you to these people. Just a few examples which we read about… READ MORE

On June 17, I had the great pleasure of attending the preview of 6 videos which will be used to promote Central Frontenac as a wonderful place to live. The “stars” of the videos are people who live here because of the lifestyle they are able to enjoy. However, these… READ MORE

John Wallace ("Remember liberal mismanagement when you vote" 12/06/2014 Frontenac News) should have saved his breath. When you have an electorate who placed into office a chronic promise breaker for three consecutive terms, you have to understand that "untarions", especially in the Toronto area, are out to lunch. Really, there… READ MORE
