But his focus, at least in the immediate term, is on the challenge facing those 150 employees who learned they would be losing their jobs. “I can tell you that for 150 families, this week has been incredibly difficult, worrisome and full of anxiety and concern,” he told Northumberland News. “I can you that because Cobourg is such a small community, it’s hard to know anyone in this community that isn’t indirectly linked to an employer or employee from that factory.

During her battle, there were numerous fundraisers held locally for Grace and her family. A large part of the time, the family was at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
A ‘streeter’ approach to the issues facing Northumberland ahead of the federal election

2 weeks ago | northumberlandnews.com | Bill Hodgins

A journalistic tradition that seems to be a little more obscure these days had reporters head out to ask random people their thoughts on relevant issues. They call it a “streeter” or “person on the street” interview, and it’s hardly a scientific representation of a greater population; just random opinions.

Stink bugs, box elder bugs, Asian lady beetles and cluster flies are invading Ontario homes. Are you protected against pests?

3 weeks ago | northumberlandnews.com | Mike Pearson Insidehaltoncom |Mike Pearson

Spring is a time to reorganize your closets, clear out the garage or think about that long-awaited home renovation. Pest control contractor Orkin Canada hopes Ontario homeowners will add “protected against pests” to their list of accomplishments this spring. As temperatures drop in the fall, insects seek refuge indoors and hide inside wall voids, attics, siding and other crevices. If no action is taken, these critters can re-emerge in the spring when temperatures rise.
