A new dawn
The Brussels Farmers' Market marked the dawn of a new day on Friday, May 18 when it
opened at the Brussels Four Winds Barn for the first time. The market's new full-time home
takes the place of the main street lot beside the village's LCBO and the opening was
commemorated with a special procession from the old site to the Four Winds Barn, led by
Brussels Legion Pipe Band member Don Martin. (Dennyscottphoto)

Letter to the Editor
Vodden disputes
`emotional' claim
THE EDITOR,
Re: Wingham Police Decision
I am more than slightly tired of
being blamed for the assumption of
escalating costs for the operations of
the Wingham Police Service.
For over 20 years I have heard
through many media that the vast
majority of Wingham residents want
to maintain their own police force
regardless of the cost. Since joining
council in November of 2009, I have
been receiving the same message.
The discussion has heated up
recently as consideration has been
given to the possibility of changing
the policing arrangements. Virtually
all the discussions I have had, and all
the messages I have received suggest
that nothing has changed: Wingham
people are mostly determined to
maintain their own police service
regardless of cost and the people of
East Wawanosh and Blyth Wards
want to continue with the Ontario
Provincial Police.
There was no concerted argument
raised by council leading up to the
big decision. Almost all members of
council, it seems to me, were of the
opinion that not much has changed
in these opinions despite the
significant increase in Wingham
Police costs. Consequently, six of
the seven members of council voted
in favour of retaining the costly
Wingham Police Service option
because it appeared to them,
apparently, that this is what
Wingham preferred.
In the lengthy report in this week's
The Citizen, Councillor Trevor Seip
is quoted as saying that the six other
council members' votes were based
on emotion. That is not true. They
were purely rational votes based on
over 20 years of local police service
tradition.
The fault, if there is one, lies with
those who were in a position to
foresee the endgame of this
arrangement and to commence a
concerted effort to educate the
Wingham Ward electorate on the
dangers of their emotional
attachment to a service that may
ultimately be unaffordable.
Brock Vodden.
