Re: Otters in Arden Mill Pond
Re: Otters in Arden Mill Pond (Letters, Jan 14/16) Coen, I also like to see the otters in the Mill Pond. I thought you might like to know a few more things about them. They can live up to 10-15 yrs in the wild, have very few predators in the… READ MORE
CF purchase of schools
After reading the CF agenda and your follow up (Central Frontenac to Demolish Sharbot Lake Public School, Jan 7/16) to their actions, I feel by their action they do not have any idea how to control their spending habits. It is our tax dollars being spent on unplanned or non-mandated issues.… READ MORE
Re: CF purchase of schools
Further to my concern (letter of December 8, 2015) with respect to the Central Frontenac purchase of Sharbot Lake and Parham schools, despite having no plan for their use.

Re: CF purchase of schools
Re: CF purchase of schools I have been trying to give this new council the benefit of the doubt but the optics of the recent school purchases seem horrible (Central Frontenac to Demolish Sharbot Lake Public School, Jan 7/16).

Take back the Sabbath
Brothers and sisters in Christ; I recently discovered a critically important offence towards God that occurred in generations past, and has become common practice today. Right from the beginning of time, when the first week was created, God gave everybody Saturdays off (Genesis 2: 1-3), a day to take a… READ MORE
Re: Beaver bounty
In response to the Dec. 3 letter by Tom Hughes, “Re: Beaver Bounty”, I would like to comment on his lack of information. Obviously he has not had a problem concerning water levels caused by beavers on a property. Our property is abutting a body of water in Central Frontenac.… READ MORE

Re: Beaver bounty
Re: the possibility of setting up a bounty on beaver by Central Frontenac Council, as mentioned by Councilor Jamie Riddell Central Frontenac Council, Nov 12/15. Why does he want the residents of Central Frontenac to pay more taxes? Because I think that this is what will happen. I think the… READ MORE
Re: Pine Meadow funding
County CAO trashes Pine Meadow The news coverage was a story regarding the Higgins/Dewey betrayal. But there is a second more insidious and underhanded situation that the editor clearly points out and readers should not overlook. County Council and the people they represent are in somewhat of a blind trust… READ MORE
Re: Pine Meadow funding
The present council and staff of Frontenac County seem to be unaware of much information surrounding Pine Meadow Nursing Home and I was surprised when I read your article Pine Meadow Denied Funding By County of Nov. 26. I was chairman of Land O' Lakes Community Services board at the… READ MORE
