In reference to Edie Cairns’ letter titled "Can’t kick the cat..." (Frontenac News, October 6, 2016), unfortunately I *have* seen people commit this crime, but what I think she is trying to say doesn't really have much to do with the true facts of the situation of life in Ontario.… READ MORE

An S.E.P. field is functioning at 100% on Sydenham’s Wheatley St. There were some hiccups last year, but all is well now. Two township recycling bins have been full-to-overflowing since May, in spite of the thousands of times that township staff have passed them. It is especially encouraging that the… READ MORE

Mr. Reid, you're refusing to hold town hall meetings on electoral reform because you don't want to "validate" an "inadequate" consultation process. Fair enough -- but just holding a referendum (which seems to be your only other idea) appears to be an even less adequate process, with a dismal record… READ MORE

Re: Letter to the editor by Wayne Robinson, Sept. 8, 2016. I am in agreement with Mr. Robinson that the mayor and council care about our community. I also agree they deserve respect, the same respect that we all deserve. However, in my opinion, the problem with the schools still… READ MORE

Re: Addington Highlands Council Meeting, Sep 6/16 by Jonas Bonnetta Despite the fact that industrial wind turbine development was not an issue in the last municipal election, un-elected/acclaimed AH Councillor Cox had no problem voting YES on a motion to support placement of giant industrial wind turbines 550 meters from… READ MORE

I know my thoughts have been heard in regards to the purchase of the schools before. It's the unknown that still exists that truly causes concern. The only kind of action I have heard since the purchase was the potential use of the Hinchinbrooke property for O.P.P training. That truly… READ MORE

In an article published on August 4 re: the Cloyne Pioneer Museuam, they show a telephone switch board that had been donated by Ellery Thompson.
