Every year, for a brief moment in the middle of November, the heroes of yesterday once again walk with us. Every Remembrance Day, in the middle of a busy morning, we stand for a minute's pause and remember the men and women who fought so bravely on foreign shores to defend the valu...
To the Editor: RE: "Proper ID a safety requirement to take bus tour of Bruce Power, says reader" About a month back, I sent a letter to the editor about an incident regarding seniors wanting to take the bus tour of the Bruce Power site. We were denied at the last minute beca...
Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy. Most local business owners are middle-class Canadians — the people who put their time, effort, and sweat into paying the bills and paying their employees before they pay themselves. The federal Liberal government of prime mi...
To the Editor: RE: "Work begins on entrance to Davidson Centre, Kincardine" Gee, you certainly wouldn’t want to do this during the summer when the place is practically closed. Let’s wait until September, right when the hockey season is kicking into full gear! ...
To the Editor: RE: "Kincardine woman on a mission to weed flower beds, rake the beach" My family and I have been summer residents of your beautiful town for 50 years, and live only a few houses from Dunsmoor Park - our cottage is across from the Rock Garden. Every morning...
To the Editor: Recently, 10 seniors from a local retirement home wanted to take a bus tour of Bruce Power. Many had grown up here but had never been inside the grounds. Because some are not able to take stairs, we had to have our mobility bus cleared to take it through. Bruce Power ...
To the Editor: RE: "Public input sought for Kincardine Parks Master Plan" Some thoughts from someone who has been an enemy of bureaucratic imperialism forever. a) $61,000 is an extraordinary cost for consultants to develop a PLAN. What are you paying your senior sta...

To the Editor: RE: "Signs at the beach should say "Swim at own risk," says reader" Those signs that where put up are 100-per-cent disgusting. This municipality spends millions of dollars on engineering reports and then spends $100 on signs that could save somebo...
To the Editor: RE: "No Swimming signs posted south of the south pier at Station Beach, Kincardine" I think these signs must be replaced with proper signs that state, “Swim at own risk.” These signs are deterring visitors from attending our beautiful beach. Touris...
To the Editor: RE: "'Wally's Cafe' serves up cheap comedy fare at Bluewater Playhouse" After reading the review in the Kincardine Record, I thought maybe I had wasted my money. But, thankfully, the theatre critic was off the mark, in my opinion. As for t...
My former boss, Eric Howald (above), publisher of the Kincardine Independent newspaper for almost 40 years, has finally done what he said he was going to do - and only three years after he officially retired. He has published a book containing some of his favourite columns, "From ...

To the Editor: RE: "It could be curtains for Bluewater Summer Playhouse after this season" I am totally disgusted with how some members of Kincardine council are treating the Bluewater Summer Playhouse. The theatre has been bringing tourists to the town for 24 years, and ...
To the Editor: RE: "Kincardine shoreline protection project develops a few holes" Nature will cause trouble and it's up to man to fix it. But being now an Oldtimer, as I stand here looking out over this mess, have "they" forgotten why the breakwall was insta...
