To the Editor: RE: "Gifted artist and writer, Althea Devitt of Tiverton, dies at the age of 97" Mrs. Devitt was my public school teacher and a wonderful lady who took me under her wing. We were both interested in art, and attended the same night class in oil painting at Ripl...
To the Editor: RE: "Winter slams Kincardine area again, causing road closures" You’re a trooper, Liz, to be out there recording that stuff. Being a native, I know exactly where you were standing. Horrible weather! Now I understand the red line that sh...
The world would be a much better place if everyone had to spend at least a year or two working in retail. It could be at a grocery store, fashion outlet, restaurant, fast-food place, any establishment that deals with customers. Because not only is it a great experience and you learn ne...
A new year for many of us means new opportunities to achieve our goals or get a fresh start, but for the provincial Liberal government, it means new opportunities to dip into Ontarians' pockets. While many of us are making plans to spend New Year's with loved ones, revelling in...

To the Editor: RE: "Kincardine facing 10% tax-rate hike in 2017 to maintain services" A 10-per-cent tax hike seems high. Obviously it's way beyond inflation. Are we paying for sins of the past? Failure to maintain infrastructure? Poor decisions regarding Bruce Telecom...
