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

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.

As a senior in our community I’m a little concerned that more people are not trying to convince the township council to come up with a plan to help seniors by supplying them with a few more physical activities. They seem to be going in the right direction by buying… READ MORE

I’ve just received Scott Reid’s latest letter to his constituents. In it, he is making the case that a referendum is absolutely necessary for any changes to our voting system. We should note that each time the Conservatives, under the Harper government, changed the Election Act there was no nation… READ MORE

I find it hard to believe that Kingston is setting up a Syrian family of 12. They are coming here and everything is handed to them. How nice! What about the homeless people in Kingston who are desperately trying to find suitable, affordable shelter? I am on ODSP and recently… READ MORE

The headline in the January 21 Frontenac News (New Ompah Firehall in need of repair, Jan 21/16) grabs our attention but it gives very much the wrong impression about a successful community-based project. The report below the headline contains erroneous statements made by councillors - my special interest in telling… READ MORE

For the past 4 years Northbrook ambulance service received back up assistance during its day shift from the Denbigh ambulance service. Denbigh ambulance was moved to Northbrook base when Northbrook was on a call. That is, Northbrook was receiving ambulance service from 2 ambulances. This will no longer happen if… READ MORE

Our municipal councils seem to be taking heavy hits lately from the public over buildings (In for Penny..., Editorial, Jan 7/16). The fate of the Sharbot Lake Public School building is of concern to many. Having had two periods of personal time in the building, as teacher and then principal… READ MORE

As a resident of Central Frontenac I do not understand the purchase of the schools (In for Penny..., Editorial, Jan 7/16). The township as a whole will have $402,000 tied up. What! No future plans. What! Unconfirmed plans or commitments for Hinchinbrooke School. What! I have felt as a whole… READ MORE
