Wow… What a huge topic. I could fill four articles with all the good stuff on this demon of a disease, yet I have chosen to whet your appetite with a quick summary of my research, and challenge you to check out these sites and begin your understanding and readiness to look at th...
To the Editor: Canada has about 20 per cent of the planet's freshwater resources and sits astride the largest freshwater body of water in the world — the Great Lakes. It goes without saying that it is in everyone’s best interest to maintain and protect this invaluable r...
Across the riding of Huron-Bruce, and indeed, across the province, parents are asking questions about having their children return to school in September. ‘Will it be safe?’ ‘Is there a plan?’ ‘Is the government providing additional funding for all the extra ...
To the Editor: Ontario has done a relatively good job in reducing the rate of infection of COVID -19 (Coronavirus) since March. This happened at great sacrifice to the citizens and businesses of this province, and with the tragic loss of many lives in senior long-term care homes. We ha...
The following is an open letter to parents and guardians of school-aged children, from the Grey Bruce medical officer of health: Dear Parents/Guardians: As the Grey Bruce medical officer of health, I thank you for the great efforts you have invested in keeping your family and our co...
Shingles - the very thought of the perceived pain sends shivers down my back! The Varicella Zoster virus causes shingles. It’s the same virus that causes chickenpox. Shingles is a painful skin rash – with blisters – that can occur anywhere on the body but usually s...
To the Editor: RE: “Kincardine man proud of the building of Ram temple in Ayodhya, India” Thank you to the author and editor for publishing the story about reinstatement of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, India. "Ramayana" is an epic about the victory of ...
To the Editor: RE: “Kincardine man proud of the building of Ram temple in Ayodhya, India” Thank you to author Chandra Tripathi for writing this encouraging article, and to the Kincardine Record for publishing it. As a Hindu living in this area, I sometimes feel as if no...
To the Editor: Perhaps Kincardine should have a bylaw restricting barbecues and tents on the beach. I can only imagine where grease, smoke and charcoal from barbecuing 20 pounds of sausage, might end up. Also, I understand that camping in the park south of the harbour is illegal....
The nuclear industry lost a gentle giant last month with the sudden passing of Frank Saunders who was Bruce Power’s vice-president, nuclear oversight and regulatory affairs for almost two decades, and one of the company’s founding executives. Frank was settling into semi-re...
To the Editor: RE: “Local resident questions the need for natural gas in this area” Excellent contribution to what people should consider when quickly "signing up" for this product. Though I have not at all considered this as a reasonable addition to our commu...
To the Editor: How discouraging! Twice in the past two weeks, I have gone to my boardwalk plots only to find items stolen. This week, it was two wooden shoes I had painted and planted. My fellow gardeners have had plants and garden items taken as well. Kincardine's boardwa...
I totally agree that wearing a mask is a “no-brainer.” We have entered Stage 3 of the province's re-opening plan, with relatively few cases, but it only takes one. Have the “anti-maskers” seen our crowded beaches lately? Do you presume to think those peop...
To the Editor: RE: “Construction of EPCOR's natural gas line in full swing; sign up before Aug. 1” With regard to this story, as well as previous ones concerning the natural gas installation in this area, I have a few comments. I was surprised and disappointed, init...
Welcome back! Quite a few articles ago, I introduced CARP (Canadian Association for Retired Persons), an advocacy group for seniors. In many articles since, I have addressed many issues affecting us as seniors, and it is time to again mention an example of an organization that is ac...
To the Editor: RE: “Resident wants beaches patrolled on holiday weekend” I agree with Shirley Wright. If we believe what the news says, there is a lot of money being made available to municipalities to cope with the extra demands of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. ...
To the editor: It looks as if the Aug. 1st long weekend is going to be another nice one! With the many, many COVID-19 (Coronavirus) violations I witnessed in my neighbourhood last weekend, including groups over 10, not social-distancing, not wearing masks in busy public outdoor spac...
I hope all our students, parents/guardians, staff, partners, families, and community members are having a wonderful summer, and finding time, wherever possible, for relaxation and renewal after a challenging school year. We have been very fortunate to enjoy some amazing weather, and I ...
To the Editor: As co-ordinators of the Kincardine Food Bank, we send heartfelt thanks to Bruce Power, Greenfield Global, Feed Ontario, the United Way of Bruce Grey, and the Kincardine and District Chamber of Commerce, for their support during these difficult times. Also, thank you t...
To the Editor: Attention: Municipality of Kincardine and All Residents RE: Queen Street Promenade – closure of Queen Street, from Durham Market North to Lambton Street, on the weekends throughout the summer I totally understand the idea of the Queen Street Promenade, and we a...
