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

Coming from a police family where my father worked the street gangs unit of a major city and my uncle worked narcotics, I look hard and long into the absurdity of what has passed as due process in the Forcillo trial. This is uncomplicated if you break it down ethically.… 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

Mr. Daski  expresses the sentiments of many of us who live in the Arden area (Re: CF Council Purchases Schools, Jan 14/16). Ms. Angle (Re: CF Council Purchases Schools, Jan 21/16) clearly has no idea how it feels to see one’s tax dollars spent to the benefit of others year after… READ MORE

Although Mr. McAlear's Jan 21 letter to the editor (Re: Wind Turbines) has some factual errors, mainly because he is trying to describe a very complicated system, he is right in asserting that local communities should participate in profits derived from renewable energy and they should have more control over… READ MORE

I am writing to you today because of my concerns over the targeting of my community for a large renewable energy project. The township of Greater Madawaska has been approached by Innergex Renewable Energy out of Longeuil Quebec. They have informed our CAO Allison Holtzhauer that if the province asks… READ MORE

Perhaps Mr. Daski should consider the facts instead of optics in forming and spreading his opinions (Re: CF Purchase of Schools, Letters, Jan 14/16. While I respect his opinion about the township’s purchase of the two schools, a decision I see as forward looking and in the interests of the township… READ MORE

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

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

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. Thanks to Jeff Green’s report (Central Frontenac to demolish Sharbot Lake Public School) of January 7, 2016, we now learn that not only… READ MORE
