Letter to the Editor Editor, Those of you who know Jim Merriam will know what this letter is about. For those who don’t, all you need to know is that he is a conservative columnist for a daily newspaper in Grey Bruce. And he keeps mules. I rarely agree with Mr. Merriam or he with me. It’s not because of his...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I am a long time consultant in the environment and recycling industry.  I was just reading the article on adding film plastic and styrofoam to the BB curbside collection. I am supportive of adding these materials to curbside collection (I support the user pay concept).  A statement in the article that film and styrofoam are being added 'at...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I went to a 55+ club meeting today to listen to Larry Miller address the club. I needed to hear him and I did. He comes across as being kind of home spun, and sounds okay, but somehow manages to make me wary.  He tows the party line very close, but does pepper his talk with personal...

Letter to the Editor Editor, There was a time, not many years ago, when Canada was a different country than it is today. It was a time when Canadians wore the maple leaf with pride, whether at home or away. The maple leaf was a symbol of peace, security and democracy that was recognized and respected around the world. Canada was the...

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
