Allowing the erosion of our civil liberties

Most of us skip along merrily in our daily lives, enjoying the rights and freedoms granted to us in this beautiful country of ours. We are a multi-cultural mosaic – a welcoming, giving, embracing society. We also cherish, and extend basic human rights, to all who’ve been denied them.

Township, Region working through province-wide salt shortage

The record snowfall last week compounded an Ontario-wide salt shortage, caused by high demand from frequent snowstorms and supply disruptions at major mines.

Searching far and wide for our ‘Place’

I’m exhausted. But not too tired to run up that hill one more time, hand in hand with my “Jill.” But we’d leave our pails – and all that they contain – behind for others to fill. I imagine, once we reach the summit, it opens up to a picture-perfect meadow, with a Disney-esque log cabin, sans dwarves.

Lindsay extends King’s winless streak to seven with 5-1 win at Zancor

Kaden Koutroulides fired two goals and George Cote turned aside 34 of 35 shots to lead the Lindsay Muskies to a 5-1 win over the slumping King Junior A Rebellion on Sunday afternoon at the Zancor Centre. Koutroulides credited Cote’s stellar play for his club’s big road win: “He’s an unbelievable goalie for us. Best pickup we made as a team this year. It’s on us that he didn’t get the shutout.
