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.

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

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

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

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

The letters critical of North Frontenac Mayor, Ron Higgin's' earlier complaints about press coverage of council were unduly harsh given the issues he raised. As a former newspaper editor, who dealt with news at municipal, national and international levels for some years, and who trained journalists, I would have to… READ MORE

I take exception to Mr. Higgins being offended about sarcastic remarks, eg "used to working in the dark....". This must have struck a chord for a number of reasons.
