Councillor Lowery introduces motion seeking answers from Cassellholme Board
BayToday 18The motion will not see the light of day. Mendocino and the Mayor's group that make up the majority of the CasselHolme board do not to be questioned about their backroom plans to get the Cassell Arms assets. Case in point - when King & Mayne tried to question the Board at their last meeting they were voted off. Albeit the process was less stressful than being barred by 7 armed cops. Don't be surprised to see the cops at the next council meeting when this motion is presented.

Feeding deer in winter does more harm than good: expert
BayToday 8What qualifies this person as an expert? I was an avid hunter for years trying to harvest the biggest buck. Searching the record books I discovered the biggest bucks came from States & Provinces that produced corn & grains. It is common knowledge that the bigger & healthier deer live on agriculture land. Feeding deer in the winter is beneficial to the survival of the herd.

BREAKING Province seizes control of troubled Near North District School Board
BayToday 17Supervisors have leadership and expertise in governance, finance, and/or public accountability matters. Electing a Board is more about popularity than ability. The students ( the future) deserve better and the taxpayer can't afford waste. Time for a complete overhaul. Doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result is not only insane it is not affordable.

Mayors renew call for mediation in Castle Arms dispute
BayToday 14If it ain't broke why fix it. Mediation can't work when one group has what another group wants. The legal route will take time and the Mayor's Group motive will be clear if CasselHolme comes in over budget.

Near North school board under fire for ongoing mismanagement
BayToday 5We have too many levels of government with deep pockets. The Conservation Authority realignment was a good move. The Feds are reducing the Civil Service and we should follow that move.

Council votes to reduce 2026 levy using reserves
BayToday 12Using reserves means the increase is not real and it will catch up to us eventually. North Bay has a large retired population that will get a 2% increase so the 3.95% increase will catch up to us even sooner is the urgent reality. Tax increases need to be tied to the cost of living increases.

OPINION: Bill Walton, Are we becoming blissfully unaware of the world around us?
BayToday 6We are not blissfully unaware; we are too aware. We have too much news and 99% is negative. Wars all the way to kindergarten children protesting Crayola stop making light blue crayons. Is there nothing good about the world. We should go back to talking about the weather

Province cites spending, enforcement as northern highway safety concerns persist
BayToday 9Promises and money spent is just government window dressing. We all know the problem is the transports. 90% of the accidents & road closures are caused by transports. Years ago you rarely heard of an accident involving transport. The recent revelation about the corruption involved with new transport drivers getting their permits speaks to the root of the problem. Instead of truck inspections we need DRIVER INSPECTIONS AND TESTING. It is too easy to get a license to drive.
