Let’s have something light for a change. My research has been rewarding yet sometimes, we just have to stop and smell the roses. I came across this article, written by Regina Brett, and hope I have this wit at 90 years of age. 1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good...
To the Editor: RE: “Rosie Laidler receives Special Olympics Ontario Lifetime Achievement award” Rosie, you are awesome! Congratulations on receiving this important award of Lifetime Achievement. Your enthusiasm shows up, both in your beautiful smile and in the ...
To the Editor: RE: “Township concerned about closure of RBC in Ripley” RBC can best serve its clients in the area by remaining open! Lynda Janzen Kincardine To the Editor: Whose "brilliant" idea was it to close the Ripley branch of RBC Royal Ban...
To the Editor: You’re driving down the street, and you see a beautiful blue sports car. You think to yourself, “That is a really nice car, that person is so lucky!” Does that mean you will run out and buy a car just like that for yourself? Not necessarily. Maybe yo...
To the Editor: Re: “RBC branch in Ripley set to close in February” As I go to Lucknow more often than Kincardine, I guess the Bank of Montreal would be an option. Don Large Ripley To the Editor: So sad! Our village is really growing but businesses a...
At Bruce Power, we’re extremely proud to be part of a vibrant, caring corner of Ontario, and doing our part to support communities across Bruce, Grey and Huron counties. We place a premium on doing what we can to make things better for our families, neighbours and businesses, and th...
As summer returns, I felt the need to refresh my mind on the importance of drinking lots of fluids each day. Dehydration can be especially dangerous for senior health—don’t let it happen to you. I don’t drink as much water as I should, and I know I am not alone. Have ...
To the Editor: For anyone hesitating about getting the COVID-19 vaccine, you might consider whether it’s worth it to do it for the kids! Children under the age of 12 aren’t eligible to get the vaccine, but now seem to be susceptible to the virus. If everyone else gets...
To the Editor: RE: “Resident calls for outrage against loss of beauty along shoreline” If the lighting is required for safety/liability reasons, there are many choices that are "community-friendly" and provide down light only; thus, minimally affecting the night ...
To the Editor: For those of you who moved to Kincardine to be close to Lake Huron or those who have stayed here to enjoy the summer breezes, take in the amazing sunsets, enjoy the tranquility of twilight, experience the wonder of a thunderstorm, sit in your car in the darkness an...
To the Editor: RE: What's the point? Brethren, Tell me it is not so! Have those who cancel culture infiltrated our municipal council? Let me put you on notice! If you conspire to remove the monument to Dr. Solomon Secord in downtown Kincardine, I will cry for the removal of ...
To the Editor: Another weekend in Kincardine - more damage and theft at our waterfront. Last year, I had painted Ladybug rocks – 15 - all stolen by the end of summer, along with other items, from the beautiful gardens along the boardwalk. This year, over another COVID-19 wi...
To the Editor: I am a daily user of this park, so congratulations to Shirley Wright for putting my thoughts into words. Is this the best time, at the height of tourist season, to interrupt our use of the park to make these changes? Why are lights being installed in the parking lo...
To the Editor: RE: “What is the point?” Better words were never spoken Eric Howald, I agree 100 per cent. If these people would grow up and realize what they are doing and saying, they would find that the residents of our municipality would pay more attention. I&r...
To the Editor: There have been hints at recent Kincardine council meetings that the municipality will soon be discussing the removal of the Dr. Solomon Secord Memorial in front of the library. Before council gets embroiled in a senseless controversy, I suggest members read Kincardin...
Aaaaaah, the lazy days of summer. I remember the movies showing life in the 1800s. The rich were fair of skin and used parasols, while the labourers were bronze from their toils in the sun. It seems ironic that now very few of us work outside all day, yet we crave suntans as if t...
To the Editor: RE: “Kincardine okays $18,700 mural on equipment shed at Davidson Centre” I am rather surprised that this article comments predominantly on the finances involved and negative feedback about the inclusivity mural in Kincardine. I find that reporting the ne...
To the Editor: RE: “Ripley's Dave Quinn retires after more than 35 years of teaching” Mr. Quinn taught/coached all three of our children and two of our grandchildren at Ripley-Huron Community School (RHCS). He is a favourite around our house. Great memories from RHC...
To the Editor: Here we go again - another ill-conceived lakefront project. The parking lot at the bottom of Lambton Street, at Saugeen Street, is being reinvented, and not in a good way, in my opinion. I live above this parking lot. I do not use it, I look over it. Thi...
To the Editor: RE: “Group calls for cancellation of Canada Day celebrations in Kincardine” I do not believe Canadians should all be held accountable for those who created a tragic situation for Indigenous people. We are not guilty for their actions. I believe Canad...
