Premier Wynne has fulfilled one of her campaign promises by providing free tuition to post-secondary students from families whose annual income is below $50,000. Awesome, not in my eyes! She has chosen to fund this by cancelling our tax credits received on the tenth of the month (gone as of… READ MORE

St. Paul’s United Church in Harrowsmith has unfortunately become a victim in our changing society. Fifty years ago, approximately 70% if the population in Canada regularly attended worship services on Sunday. Today that number is around 20%.

Your editorial view that South Frontenac Council is Deep in the Weeds, (Mar 17/16) is surprisingly undemocratic. The implication is that Council and residents should, when the experts and staff have spoken, agree and get on with it. If that were the case then there would be no need for a Council,… READ MORE

As all of you know, Central Frontenac Council has not yet passed the 2016 budget. Everyone is still working to deliver a number that balances the needs of the municipality with your ability to afford what you pay. I don’t claim to speak for anyone other than myself on this… READ MORE

I felt compelled as a concerned resident of Harrowsmith and once member of St. Paul's to write the newspaper to clear up some facts (St. Paul's United Church in Harrowsmith to close, Mar 10/16). The doors of St. Paul's may not be closing. The church is floundering for sure but… READ MORE

We read with interest your February 18, 2016 article in The Frontenac News titled "Land claim elector criteria coming under scrutiny as vote nears." There is information crucial to the Treaty beneficiary issue that is misstated or missing in the article. First, the claim has not been "25", but rather… READ MORE

In answer to the letter that Vicky Layfield sent in (Re: Syrian refugee fundraiser, Feb 11/16). I admire the fact that you are one of the first to express concern about Syrian refugees entering our country. I feel sorry for your housing situation. You are one of many and it will… READ MORE

Several years ago I had the privilege of meeting Grandfather William Commanda, a well known Algonquin leader who lived at Maniwaki in Quebec. He was a great Elder who spoke about forgiveness and the “Circle of all Nations”. At the other end of the spectrum we have the letter written… READ MORE

A big shout-out to life-time Liberal, Lorne Jenkins and the laurels he bestowed in his Feb. 27 letter (Re: Mike Bossio to chair Rural Caucus) in the Frontenac News on the victorious neighbouring MPs, Mike Bossio (Hastings–Lennox & Addington) and Mark Gerretsen, (Kingston and the Islands) – both persons of long-standing… READ MORE

I am sick and tired replacing parts on my truck. I have replaced my ball joints Jan. 2016 and now I have to replace them again because Central Frontenac Township cannot fix the roads. If anyone else agrees with this, post your comments and post your pictures of damages. They… READ MORE

It is so satisfying to see Mike Bossio recognized so soon for the good man he is. Mike is truly the kind of person who should be in politics. He has a background in municipal politics having served as a councillor in Tyendinaga. He is a successful business man, having… READ MORE

Re: winter camping in Arden As much as I like Julie Druker and her usual *spot on* reporting (Re: Braving the Cold at Heritage Festival), there are a few corrections that need airing about the great sub-arctic sleepover. No mention was made of Bob Miller, who was inside having his… READ MORE

As is customary, we find tributes to lost loved ones in the next few pages. I’ve never “put anything in” over the past years, not for the lack of seeing beautiful tributes, but rather because I felt I could contribute something in time. The 21st of Feb. Marks the 6th… READ MORE

Letter to Mayor Frances Smith, I am sending this email to you once again to speak on the condition of the Arden Road to the south. As noted in the many emails from last year, the condition of the Arden Road is in dire need of resurfacing. I know the… READ MORE

Cats are the definitive host for Toxoplasma gondii , a protozoan parasite, which can infect other wildlife species as secondary hosts. Wildlife that has been infected ranges from mice to foxes to bobcats and… READ MORE

I have thought about this designation of February being Black history month for some time now. I realize this is an American attempt to bring awareness to inequalities and the history that created this situation in the US. Canada has its own dark history that should be recognized in Canada… READ MORE
