To the Editor: RE: "Kincardine removes cardboard-recycling bins beside Beef Way" WAY TO GO FOLKS! Just because a few (and there were more than a few) people were too lazy, or too cheap, or too ignorant, to take the cardboard to the Kincardine landfill site when the cardboard...

To the Editor: RE: "No Canada Day fireworks in Point Clark this year" Sounds as if someone has too much of a monopoly on the pyrotechnics business and homing in on all the grant money. Is there no other competitor?! This is sad! Paul Hamilton Lucknow

To the Editor: We just wanted to express our thanks to everyone who came out to our barn open house Thursday (March 17). It was great to have so many people interested in learning a bit about dairy farming. It was a really busy day for us but very rewarding as well. We hope you g...
To the Editor: RE: "Hawthorne returning to U.K. after he retires April 30" I have never met Duncan Hawthorne (retired president and chief executive officer of Bruce Power), but I feel as if I know him. He has done so much for us in the Bruce, and he has been front-and-centre...
To the Editor: RE: "Kincardine loses Blue Flag status; safety audit calls for $30,000 in improvements" The recommendations sound VERY reasonable to get the Blue Flag reinstated. Safety just makes sense. I was amazed there were no warning signs and information about rip-ti...
