Letter to the Editor Editor, Just a word of appreciation to Grey County for acknowledging the former hamlet of Bethesda. New signs have been placed along Grey Roads 12 and 112 (otherwise known as the Ninth Line and 15/16 Sideroad in St. Vincent). There is nothing left of former settlements such as Elmhedge or Oxmead, nothingbut a sign and a location. In...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I would like to congratulate Meaford council and staff for their approval of the proposed Downtown Sykes Street condo development. I hope county council also recognizes the need for a timely, positive vote on this type of development plan. If the development moves forward it will be a giant step into much-needed downtown revitalization.This type of project will...

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, Last week, CBC News reported a new study that confirmed the idea that sleep deprivation leads to confused decision making. To anyone who was present at MOM's (Municipality of Meaford) council meeting on Monday, July 27, it must be obvious that the findings of this report are accurate. This marathon of a session started at 4.00pm...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I was delighted to see you had the spinal fortitude to print the absurdity that you are subjected to as a public person, in the July 24 paper. I do not think most people realize such drivel is part of our community. However, I wish you had included the fact that our councillors also are...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I would like to take a moment to thank the many local business owners and community members that donate to the 'Take a Kid' Bass Fishing Derby put on by the East Grey Hunters and Anglers. This derby has been a tradition in our community for 32 years, and without those community supporters it...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Many thanks to everyone responsible for the beautiful flowers on our Main Street. Certainly adds to our lovely town. Also thank you for our good local newspaper. Sincerely, Irene Culp, Meaford

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, My family and I decided to move up to Meaford about eight months ago. We came here to raise a family and live a more peaceful, connected, and community life. One of the major draws for us was all the surrounding nature. The air and water seemed cleaner. Since settling in, we have connected with many...

Letter to the Editor Editor, If I was a developer looking to get major consideration of my proposals from the mayor and council, I suppose my best bet would be to: Prove my sense of civic involvement by buying rentable houses, and knocking them down to reduce taxes, long before they are an impediment to growth. After all, Meaford is short of affordable...

Letter to the Editor Mr. Vance, Your are total fucking incoherent idiot.  No wonder your paper is going bankrupt.  You are clueless. You are corrupt. You are void of any ethics, morality or intelligence. You have missed the whole point to the request for compliance audit. But oh wait, that is right you are in the back pocket of the political buffoons and...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am reviewing the Lions Meaford Stomp, and thanks to the kindness of Canadian Base Operators and the Municipality of Meaford, we had a lot of happy people. We were able to promote a lot of businesses and services that the public needs to know about. The singers loved the venue and the Jewel Radio...
