Re: CF Council Purchases Schools
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
Re: Wind Turbines
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
Re: Wind Turbines
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
Re: CF Council Purchases Schools
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
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. 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
Otters in Arden Mill Pond
My name is Coen. I am 7 and live in Arden. Today I saw the otters playing on the pond. I don't want you to trap them. I like people who hunt and trap, I just want to watch the otters play all winter. READ MORE
Re: CF purchase of schools
In reference to the most recent article in the News (Central Frontenac to Demolish Sharbot Lake Public School, Jan 7/16) concerning the municipal purchase of the old Sharbot Lake Public School site. I voted for this council in the last election and with that vote I gave the mayor and her… READ MORE
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). What it appears is that the township bought two large buildings… READ MORE
The Bell Wireline Lifeline - a fragile link
The phone line was dead over the New Year’s holiday weekend for some residents of Palmerston Highlands, a small rural community in Snow Road Station, Ontario.

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

Electoral reform
With our MP Scott Reid as Opposition critic for Democratic Institutions, we local constituents have the opportunity to engage with him and with each other about how to rebuild our democracy. The top priority should be to change our electoral system to make it truly proportional. Unfortunately, the “ranked ballot”… READ MORE
Re: Pine Meadow funding
I applaud North Frontenac Township's decision to donate $25,000 for the windows at Pine Meadow Nursing Home and encourage my township of Central Frontenac to do likewise.
