The new Wingham Community Market at the north end of Wingham
exceeded the expectations of all Vendors.  Canada Banana Farms
sold out of small banana plants.   Tourists and locals took the
opportunity to own a banana plant that will produce edible fruit,
not like the typical banana house plant”.   Hopefully
Canada Banana Farms will have more plants at next Saturday’s market
to meet the unexpected high demand. 

Radishes

Today marks the opening of the Wingham Community Market, just past
the Royal T on hwy 4(London Road).  Vendors were out early
setting up tents and tables to provide easy access to locally grown
produce as well as amazing deals.

Below is  a slideshow of some of the products for offer today
at the Market.

This Saturday morning (14June2014) is the first day of the new
Wingham Community Market.  The Market is just north of Wingham
on HWY4 (London Rd), just past the Royal T.  While the WFP
doesn’t have an up-to-date Vendor list, the products expected to be
on sale include, candies, crackers, nuts, plants, fruits and
vegetables.  The only way you will know for sure what Vendors
are there, is to show up Saturday morning, and bring and friend or
two.

North Huron council and staff said it couldn’t be done this year. Even a couple of steering committee members doubted it could be done this year. Apparently the doubters” didn’t factor in the incredible ingenuity and persistence of area Entrepreneurs. When an Entrepreneur hears “you can’t”

To the disappointment of local Bloggers, no North Huron Councillors
have registered to run in the 27Oct2014 municipal election. 
Those that are currently taunting the current councillors to run,
are strongly encouraged to continue do so, as local Bloggers already
have dozens of articles written for when/if a council member
registers to run. 

The Vote For Me And I’ll Do It For Free” movement is gaining
more and more momentum.  These Citizens care about the
community

As many of you know, the Wingham BIA has been looking for projects
to piss away their budget on.  If they don’t flush this money
down the toilet somewhere, they will have a hard time justifying
their next budget.  The People helped stop the comically
ridiculous Arch Project”

UPDATE: Lisa Thompson and Colleen Schenk have both confirmed they will be attending.

Huron Bruce All Candidates Meeting

Date: Saturday, May 31 2014

Time: 11:00am

Location: Wingham Legion

FaceBook Event Page: <a

The public is invited to come out to the Wingham Legion

Trevor Seip made some comments that were ill received by
council.  Mr. Seip use to be treated with respect by council,
allowing him to question council with more latitude than the general
Public.  This was tolerated since he peppered his criticisms
with compliments.  Now Trever seems to be treated with the same
level of contempt they treat the rest of the Public.  I hope
they are not treating him differently because he announced he is
running for Council 27Oct2014.  If that were the case, it would
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that council is devoid of morality
and have nothing but contempt for Democracy and transparency.

At the 20May2014 council meeting, current CAO/Clerk Gary Long
recommended to council they spend another $17,000 on economic
development”.  This is despite council recently passing the
2014 budget.  The extra spending request was for $7

At last night’s meeting, the Public was bluntly told that we must
fight to ensure the future of our hospital.  Fight, and fight
LOUD.  Wingham Hospital apparently has a $700,000+ deficit, and
to balance the budget, over 30 front line workers are losing their
jobs, or at risk of losing their jobs.  Don’t worry, management
doesn’t seem to be affected, and will likely keep driving to town to
suckle money out of our community as our hospital and community
suffer.

Hospitals are essential to the longevity of a sustainable community,
second only to a clean water supply.  These cuts will effect
services, and overworked staff are more likely to make errors.

Executive Director of Ontario Health Coalition Natalie Mehra stated
that in the last two Provincial budgets, $20,000,000 was allotted
for rural and small hospitals.  None of that money ever made to
it’s pledged cause, leaving rural Ontarians at high risk of losing
local access to health care.

HOW TO HELP

There will be an action committee formed to help
organize protests, sign and letter campaigns, and to try to have an

(NORFOLK COUNTY, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Norfolk County Detachment is investigating a home invasion at an Angling Road, Townsend, Norfolk County, Ontario address.

On Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at approximately 2:38 p.m., police responded to the address after two unknown females attended the residence and gained entry.

Investigation determined that the two suspects attended the residence earlier in the day and had spoken to the homeowner. A short time later, suspects returned and entered the residence where the homeowner confronted both females.

One of the suspects brandished an edged weapon while the other sprayed the home owner with a noxious substance. The homeowner fled to a safe area inside the residence and contacted police. Both suspects then fled from the home and were last seen walking northbound on Angling Road.

Both females are being described as native, dark hair, possibly in their teens, heavy set, wearing dark clothing. One of the females had her hair in a ponytail.

The Norfolk County OPP Crime Unit is continuing to investigate and is seeking assistance from the public. If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are being asked to contact the Norfolk County OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122.

The OPP reminds all members of the public to be aware of their personal safety at all times and to be extremely vigilant when allowing strangers into your home. The OPP’s website, www.opp.ca, contains a number of useful resources, tips and links.

Anyone with information regarding this incident should immediately contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1 – 888 – 310 -1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1 – 800 – 222 – TIPS (8477) or leave an anonymous online message at www.helpsolvecrime.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2000.

Current North Huron employee Connie Goodall was caught stalling the
progress of the Farmer’s Market.  Four Steering Committee
members wanted to have a meeting to elect a chair, treasurer,
etc.  An email request was sent to Connie Goodall, as she holds
the contact list for the steering committee for some reason. 
Current Economic Development Head Connie Goodall apparently took it
upon herself to deny the request, without contacting any of the
Steering Committee.  

Connie Goodall does not have the authority to make decisions for the
Steering Committee, nor does she have the authority to speak on
their behalf.  This is a point Councillor Bernie Bailey made
brutally clear to Connie in chambers.  Below are emails that
prove Connie Goodall has overstepped her authority, stalling the
Farmer’s Market progress.   Below that is a video clip of
Bernie Baily explaining that Connie Goodall is not in charge, and
the steering committee needs to get organized.  Since Bernie
got Connie Goodall under control, things are moving forward and a
meeting will be setup, despite Connie Goodall’s objections.

Email sent to Connie Goodall:

Several members of the Farmer’s Market
steering committee would like to have another meeting Wednesday
evening.

Could you please contact the rest of the steering committee
to see if they too wish for another meeting
