Many thanks to the News and to author Calvin Neufeld for his excellent article updating us on the ongoing prison farm fiasco. It is so sad to see how what began more than a decade ago with the very best of intentions has morphed into a giant boondoggle that no longer has anything to do… READ MORE

After reading last week's "article" by Calvin Neufeld I am very disappointed that Jeff Green and the Frontenac News would print that as if it were journalism and not an opinion piece. Calvin has been a firm opponent of both the Save and Restore our prison farms movements, by having him… READ MORE

It is alarming that we have not given all our neighbours the information needed to let them understand that what we have done to the earth’s atmosphere is serious, not frivolous, as Ms. Kool labels it. It is even more discouraging that some folks don’t realize that they have the… READ MORE

I am greatly disappointed by council’s recent decision to reject Louise Fragnito’s recommendation to hire a consultant to develop a formal climate action plan. I applaud Ms. Fragnito’s recommendation because it would guide council toward a more sustainable future. From council’s rejection I might assume that council is to have… READ MORE

I would just like to thank Gregg and Adele Hamelin from the Beautification Committee for placing our Remembrance Day Wreaths beside the lovely metal poppy containers in the parkette in Harrowsmith. The poppies were made by the late Rick Law to pay tribute to all our veterans who served our… READ MORE

I would like to thank the organizers of today’s Remembrance service in Sydenham - the event was well organized, well presented and very moving. I was pleased to see a number of children there and the vast majority were well behaved and listened to what was being said. However, there… READ MORE

I’m sure everyone in South Frontenac is excited to see the first Climate Action Plan unveiled soon. At the May 16th council meeting, we were promised it would emerge this fall. After this summer of 2023 with smoke advisories, heat waves and tornado warnings, flooding out east, wildfires across the… READ MORE

It was the last weekend in October, my wife and I had the pleasure of taking our three-year-old granddaughter from Verona for a pumpkin-picking wagon ride at the Fruition Berry Farm pumpkin patch north of Kingston. As a three-year-old, this was an almost new experience for her. It was a… READ MORE

While I am sympathetic to the editorial on Addington Highlands proposed “Unreasonable Behaviour” policy, I am reminded of the adage that “the devil’s in the details.” I spent 8 years as a member of Central Frontenac Township Council. During that time, I was aware of instances where Council and staff… READ MORE

Your editorial presents some interesting observations. I applaud that Addington Highlands Council “has seen steady improvement” in their access to information. Regardless, one should look at the whole process pertaining to this policy. In the proposed Procedure of this Policy, only Council personnel (supervisor and CAO) determine the “unreasonableness” of… READ MORE

Just want to say I how disappointed I was with your coverage of Parham Fair. I have attended the fair for many. Many years but this year I was unable to. I was hoping to read about the ‘costume’ contest and the winners in the Palace – but no mention!… READ MORE

I appreciated the editorial “Independent Newspapers Outliving the Chains.” It always grieved me to see independent newspapers get snatched up by the chains. Your editorial puts into words what’s been difficult to articulate through the gradual erosion process. “The company at the centre the closure of the Ontario newspapers, Metroland,… READ MORE

At the unorthodox intersection of County Road 38 and Westport Road in Godfrey, ON, I still find myself in disbelief trying to look through the dirty backside of a huge double-posted sign that blocks my view of on-coming traffic from Verona/Kingston on Highway 38.  I cannot be the only driver… READ MORE
