Editor: My motto has always been that if I have something good to say, I will say it. The new person who now clears Creemore’s winter roads is doing a great job. It is impossible not to notice the difference; and people do comment, I am pleased to say. Since I moved here 10 years […]
I often treat patients with ADHD, Autism, Hyperactivity and focus issues. These disorders are all on a spectrum but a lot of them can be linked to gut health. In alternative medical circles it is understood that a happy gut equals a happy mind. I have seen this connection time and time again in [...]
When we think of yoga, images of difficult, and at times, seemingly impossible postures often come to mind. In the practice, we actively participate in sweating it out, and learn to endure the inner struggle as we experience moments of discomfort, both physically and psychologically. This is [...]

Editor: The letter of Mr. Witzke identifying his concerns over “acclaimed” councillors was a wake-up call against the abysmal ward-based representation system currently used in Clearview. It is this ward system that is failing the citizens of Clearview by allowing an ever-increasing number of [...]
Editor: I strongly support Mayor Measures in the effort to reverse the roundabout decision. Compare clearing the Airport Road/Highway 26 intersection with clearing the Mosley roundabout. At Airport Road you’re backed up and idling half the time due to the lights. At Mosley you rarely have to [...]
Editor: Excellent work Ted McGovern of Stayner on your “Titanic” letter in last week’s Echo! Beautifully written. An apt and imaginable parallel to the trajectory of humanity’s current disastrous fossil-fuel-fired voyage. I challenge everyone to perform your acts from this point forward as your [...]
