Fool me once, shame on you …

The Kincardine Independent

It is becoming increasingly difficult to figure out what is real and what is fake. Is it actually your beloved grandson on the phone telling you he needs your financial help to get out of jail somewhere that has different laws from Canada’s. Is that brand name handbag a bargain

An old killer disease makes a return run – measles

The Kincardine Independent

Anyone planning to travel over spring break is being advised to make sure they and their children are properly immunized. We are not talking about visiting some exotic (exotic being a euphemism for remote and primitive) location; we are talking south Florida. And we are not talking about a rare, new disease; we are talking
about measles. (By Pauline Kerr)

The Kincardine Independent

This is the time of year when our elected municipal councils show us we chose well when we cast our ballots. They are up to their ears in budget deliberations. At one time, doing the municipal budget was a matter of figuring out how much money each of a handful of landowners had to pitch in to build a road. (By Pauline Kerr)

Housing dilemma: is it time to start screaming yet?

The Kincardine Independent

Looking at the numbers for housing sales makes one’s digestive system feel a bit like
being on a ride at the fair that goes up, and up and … ever so slowly … up a bit more. Has the real estate ride we have been on hit the highest point of the trajectory just before freefall, or is it just a tricky little bump? Is it time
to start screaming yet? (By Pauline Kerr)
