Perhaps the Frontenac News feels obliged to present “both sides” of the issue of human-induced climate change, but why do so by publishing a letter like the one from Edward Kennedy in your issue of March 11? Mr. Kennedy complains of “misrepresentation” and then presents us with exaggerated statistics, from… READ MORE

Perhaps the author of the letter headed 'Climate Change'  in last week's paper might be kind enough to let us all know the identity of the unnamed "expert", whom he cites as the source for the torrent of questionable and unattributed statistics which form the basis of his climate change… READ MORE

If someone with experience and knowledge about goat farming is raising concerns about the proposal to invest in a large scale goat dairy operation to be run by inmates at Joyceville Penitentiary by Correctional Services Canada (CSC), shouldn't they be listening? Dick Boogerd has 12 years experience running a 500… READ MORE

Having read another report of activism relative to climate change, on the back page of the March 4, 2021 Frontenac News, I wondered how a "Green New Deal" could ever have spread its misrepresentations from the USA to here. Perhaps Isi Ferguson and even Greta would be interested to know they… READ MORE

Cameron Monroe's critique of my article on "green concrete" is valuable. Mr. Monroe refined and improved several details of the industrial chemistry of concrete. He also illustrated how lucky we are here in eastern Ontario to have so many well-informed folks among us. Because we are able to discuss vital… READ MORE

During some organizing of old files the other day, I came across a tattered notebook in which my father had spent hundreds of hours writing, in a very artistic hand, his thoughts on the economy, social justice and other matters he felt strongly about. I have no personal recollection of… READ MORE

I’ve worked in municipal waste management & diversion for a decade and write to respond to your article on the ‘dirty little secret about recycling.’ (10 Feb. 2021.) Dr. Myra Hird is so correct that addressing climate change requires waste reduction and re-use, not just recycling. Municipalities work hard within… READ MORE

It bears repeating that the difference between the taxes in the Frontenac's is startling and concerning. Central Frontenac is 56% higher when compared to South Frontenac and 40% higher when compared to North Frontenac! It has been suggested that the Frontenac's should have one governing body. Eliminate County government and… READ MORE

I am responding to an article written in your Feb 18th, from Gray Merriam on the topic of Concrete being Green. In my 40th year working in Concrete Technology, I find this abbreviated article misdirecting, and vague.   Concrete produced with Portland Cement is the most versatile, durable, and sustainable building material… READ MORE

I'm pleased to see your article about the latest developments on the prison farm front, but there is so much more that needs to be said. As you note in your article, the Correctional Service is in the process of converting the farms at Joyceville and Collins Bay Penitentiaries into an Intensive Livestock… READ MORE

I would like you to keep the amnesty program. Council members have been whining about the garbage situation forever and ever. I am tired of them blaming the good folks in this township just to extract more money from them. Our township has the highest property taxes and the good… READ MORE

As we all have had about a week of green covid status, I fear that it will be short lived as many from outside of these areas will flock in and numbers will again jump and we will join the rest of the province in lockdown. Or, alternatively, we can… READ MORE

I am the owner of four properties located in Central Frontenac, two rental houses, my own residence and an old church that I am renovating. Every single one of these properties came in a miserable state of disrepair, often filled with garbage. I have fixed rotting buildings and abandoned garbage… READ MORE

The editorial on Page 2 of last week's News accusing eastern Ontario wardens of a "lack of vision" is grossly unfair. While Jeff Green is right to outline the anomalies surrounding the funding of retirement homes such as Pine Meadow in Northbrook, it is totally wrong to point the finger… READ MORE

I am writing this to let taxpayers know what happens between Central Frontenac Township and me, to warn them they could be next. This is not about the value of my land but about the process that went on and is still going on. In December 2018, a contractor removed… READ MORE
