Sept. 16:

Grab a Smile Cookie on us

"My boss has been buying them and putting them out for our customers' with a donation box for Alzheimer so both win. Domenic and Nancy Romano at United Floors 24 Second Line. I think its great that we can help out twice."

Sept. 15:

Price of homes sold hits $56.6M in Sault area during month of August 2021: CREA

"Really great for buyers and seller. A windfall for agents. What the public isn't aware of are the real estate flops and frauds, where greed takes priority over integrity. This occurred to me, not once but twice. The agent has received a slap on the wrist fine and forced to take courses in ethics as I sit tens of thousands in debt. Caveat emptor and read the RECO website. The haste to purchase in a a hot market will cause many to overlook things that can cost huge later."

Sept. 14:

No spectator policy necessary to keep high school sports going, say local organizers

"I have a thought why cant the school allow parents with the last name that starts with A...B..C..go to a game then so on through the alphabet...seems like a fair way..."
- Maureen C.

"I cannot believe that parents would risk not their health but everyone that comes in contact at the school....when they should just be happy that we are coming to some sort of norm...think about the kids that don't even play sports but could very well get sick because you thought of yourself....I would gladly sign a petition to keep you away and keep my kid safe...parents please think beyond yourself."
- Maureen C.

"There’s no reason why spectators shouldn’t be allowed to attend outdoor game, if everyone is masked and vaccinated. That’s about as safe as we can be. Spectators aren’t even close to the players. Makes absolutely no sense. I can go watch Blue Jays indoors without a mask. Players love to have fans watching, as well as families love to see their boys play."

Sept. 12:

Lumber mill moves to correct dangerous situation on Third Line

"I have lived up there for over 35 years and never ONCE saw transports on Peoples Road - they line up on the west side of Third Line which is the entrance to their business and nothing else. Furthermore, even with transports in that parking lot, it is never full - not since the days of Weyerhaeuser."
- P.C.

"Absolutely NOT!! Not in my back yard. I do not pay extremely high taxes for this to happen. NO WAY!!"
- S.B.

Watch out for pieces of the wall blowing off the Rhodes Centre!

"From 20 to over 80 thousand, quite the difference in bids. Why aren’t city workers that we’re already paying fixing this? Surely someone on the city staff can repair or replace panels."
- E.B. 

The great ouster: Find lost students and woo them back to school

"I believe they should be focusing on both aspects of the schooling available now. In class and online. As both offer a unique advantage to those who are disabled who may find it much easier to learn at home should always have an option to do. Those who find it easier less distraction and so in should also have the option to learn at home. With everything going on in this world right now. Both options should stay as staples for the new world we live in as both offer what's best to the students depending on where they feel the most comfortable. Where they feel they can get the most out of their education. It's supposed to be about the kids so let's focus on what it is they want."
