To the Editor: RE: "Work begins on Lake Huron shoreline protection project in Kincardine" It just makes me want to cry to see what they are doing to the beach at Macpherson Park, to our beautiful beach! It will be so dangerous to anyone trying to cross it; it is so unsigh...

To the Editor: RE: "Kincardine's tourist booth moving back to Highway 21" It was stupid to have moved the tourist booth downtown in the first place. No one in their right mind would go looking for it after the move. There was no parking for anyone towing a camper or d...
