Trespassers in Godfrey
In a city you wouldn’t walk into someone’s back yard or park your car on their grass, yet that’s exactly what’s happening to friends, neighbours and yours truly here. I don’t understand how people can ignore clear ownership (a shed, a trailer, a fence etc) or posted signs that state:… READ MORE
Re – Frontenac Transportation Services
I concur with Ann Barlow’s expressed concerns regarding the future of transportation services as currently provided by SFCS and RFCS (“Senior Rues the Pending Loss of Transportation Services” January 23, 2020). Mayor Vandewal apparently believes that the fact that the agencies do not collaborate on transportation services indicates some kind… READ MORE
Re – re Frontenac Transportation Services
I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the Article in the Frontenac News dated 23 January 2020 “Senior rues the pending loss of transportation services”. In that article Mayor Ron Vandewal said that Rural Frontenac Community Services has not provided County Council with statistics and a business… READ MORE
Re - Flight #665
As of January 13th, the Iranian Government has admitted that their Revolutionary Guard shot down Flight #655, the civilian aircraft in transit to the Ukraine. Again, the CBC reported this action as “accidental”—seemingly to lighten the impact between Iran and Canada. Consider how ground-to-air missles operate. A remote platform (a vehicle)… READ MORE
Re - Trustee Censure
As a former teacher, it was heartbreaking to observe as parents struggled against the Limestone Board of Education Officials during the 2017 closure process for Yarker Family School. Board Officials refused requests for information and thwarted every effort to find some role for Yarker’s unique educational setting. At one point… READ MORE
Resident will miss Janice at the dump, and friends who recently passed
I was sad to read the news that Janice is no at Central Frontenac Dump site on site on #38 HWY. A situation happened last summer and the staff at Township Office did not want to deal with it. Sadly it was a comment that was truly uncalled for. Being… READ MORE
Re – Johnston’s Point
Thank you to Jeff Green for covering the latest twist in the saga of the development on Johnson’s Point in the middle of a provincially significant wetland, but it is missing some important information. One of the small victories at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) was an order that the… READ MORE

Re - tale of two ridings
Letter re editorial I am a loyal reader of Frontenac News. It has, and continues, to bring the people of Frontenac county, and beyond, local, detailed, factual news which strengthens our communities.

Re - Grass Drags
Thank you to your newspaper for such a positive front page story on the " Bill Day Memorial Grassdrag Races." This event brought our small hamlet alive for the weekend. The grounds were pristine, the first aid tent phenomenal, and the sound of french spoken and some southern drawl much… READ MORE
Re - Does your vote count
In writing the above article on the likely differences in voting outcomes in the two ridings covered by the Frontenac News, Jeff Green made some interesting points – with which I agree – but in my opinion he interpreted them absolutely incorrectly. Your vote in Lanark-Frontenac -Kingston certainly does count,… READ MORE
Re - radon gas mitigation
I recall from my study of Physics; “hydrostatic pressure" is force applied to a surface area by a fluid (any liquid, any gas). And from our Ontario Building code Act (reaching back to 1975): “Where hydrostatic pressure occurs, floors-on-ground and exterior surfaces of walls below ground level shall be waterproofed."… READ MORE
Re – physician shortage
As a 40-year veteran of the nursing profession, I felt compelled to respond to the letter by Dr. Gibbens. I was surprised that Dr. Gibbens, in her recent letter to the editor, focused largely on defending the money making foreign medical resident training programs run by several Canadian medical schools.… READ MORE
