These people go beyond one’s basic obligations giving their time, efforts and talent and often their money to a need or cause.Continue Reading
Cornwall ON – The much anticipated question period rematch between the opposition parties and the government ended up being a pretty dull affair.

Cornwall ON – How fortunate we are to have clean, running water at our disposal whenever we need it. My close encounter with the ‘Water for Life’ organization this past Saturday at a wonderful fund raising gala evening at NAV Canada reminded me how blessed we all are. We haveContinue Reading

Dear Editor: I am disappointed that Cornwall City Council at its meeting on September 13, with the exception of Councillor Mark MacDonald, voted to maintain the controversial council members’ personal expense accounts of $2515. They have been used primarily as a slush fund to make donations to local charities and communityContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – It looks like the Prime Minister has stuffed the genie back into the bottle on the issue of funding for the Quebec arena. His comments last night in Quebec City should dampen expectations considerably. The question remains why the issue even became public in this manner. Someone,Continue Reading

Dear Sir: Despite the apparent downsides of Islam there is much to applaud about this very old religion, 700 hundred years younger than Christianity. From within our North American culture we do tend towards a worldly non-ecclesiatical way of living even as we recognize the Christian background shared by so many. Where have all theContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Book burning is bad. Book reading is good, and sadly in today’s world far too few books are being read. Imagine how much better we’d all be if we’d just read more books? With the internet and our insane world of course who has time toContinue Reading

Cornwall ON – The transformation of summer to autumn is upon us. The fall asters are dotting our landscapes with purple, the grass has slowed its growth rate and the Sumacs are beginning their change from green to crimson. Harvest time is upon us as is evidenced by the bountyContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – Was it worthwhile for Ignatieff to spend the summer riding a bus? I would say so for a few reasons. First he did get quite a bit of exposure and if not always from the national media, certainly with regional and local news outlets. These local reportersContinue Reading

Dear City, As a crazied loon who is out to `hunt’ down my estranged spouse, I thank you for helping me track her down with the publishing of your upcoming `List of Electors’. I wouldn’t be able to do it without you! Thanks again. As you can imagine, I cringedContinue Reading
Cornwall ON- Well it looks like Dogs, or in particular the ability for pet owners to walk their dogs in city parks is becoming a municipal election issue.

Cornwall ON – The last days of our summer season are upon us. Evidence of this are the bright aromatic blooms of Goldenrod which add their bright sunny yellow to our hedgerows, fields and roadsides throughout Cornwall, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.
