I suppose it is a key indicator of failing to grow old with grace and resignation that one greets with relief the news that "5 Years in Ardoch Lake Development Still Needs Work". Hopefully, the planning and evaluation will take forever, unless the proposed project is downsized to a more… READ MORE

Here we are, just days away from an event that I have been working to make a success since January, the first Parkinson SuperWalk to take place in Lanark North Leeds. This walk is only one of over 80 walks taking place across Canada on the weekend after Labour Day.… READ MORE

Central Frontenac Council would be foolish to accept the proposition that the township has no business concerning itself about chip wagons which seek to establish themselves close to the junction of Highway 7 and Road 38 at Sharbot Lake. Assertions that it is not up to the council to decide… READ MORE

How many times have you rolled your eyes whenever someone talks about teenagers.  How many times have teens been the assumed culprit in some circumstance?  My son is 21 now.  That means many years of playgroups, play dates and birthday parties.  Then he turned into a teenager and there were… READ MORE

I was interested to read last week's piece on the OPP initiative to  "Share the Road" and the chilling statistics that 94 pedestrians were killed and 3,523 were injured in Ontario in 2014. I'm a senior, and I walk my dog along the local road twice a day, usually trying… READ MORE
