December, 2010 VOLUME XXIV, Number 12 Ue Sout Any S pti ANI OT Published for and about local people and events Wanting What's Owed to You Once in a long while, you find someone who helps you when you've hit that brick wall. In my case, many of those someones all work for the On- tario Labour Board and they are my heroes. Not only have they helped others but they helped me, too. I worked for over 5 years until June 2008, at which time I quit to do a cycling adventure for most of the summer and to retire, as well. In Sep- tember, I hired back on as part-time, mainly to help out with the Christmas rush but stayed on for an entire year whereupon we were let go because the company hired people in the Philippines to do our job. They told us we could not get severance un- less we had worked for them for five years so I was given no severance, having been back only 12 Months Continued on page 2 Milford Market Square Just a small reminder to the readers: We are counting down to Christmas. We are offi- cially closed for the 2010 season as of the evening December 18th. Orders can be taken by your fa- vourite vendor up to that date at the Market or by personal contact. After that date please contact the vendor direct. We are opening in early spring of 2011. Watch for the announcements in the papers and on Face- book. I welcome emails in the off season too at mil- ford.market@yahoo.ca. Thank yous for making the 2010 Market season phe- FYI I would like to offer my gratitude and congratu- lations to our past mayor and council who worked dili- gently these past 4 or more years on behalf of the citi- zens of Prince Edward County. lany new faces will now appear around the horseshoe at ‘Shite Hall. Our municipal government is not broken but I expect some new approaches to old issues. The common thread that dominated our past election campaigns was “control our spending”. I believe this common goal will produce an ef- fective working group that will be considering all our county taxpayers as primary stakeholders. It won’t surprise me when we councilors be- come protective of our respective wards during deliber- ations and I’ll have no problem with this. Every corer of this municipality is steeped in its own diverse culture from agriculture viticulture and arts to marine, fishing, retail and recreation. Ultimately the decision must bene- fit the primary stakeholder. would like to see a process that determines the ag- gregate benefits of each prong of our culture to our lifestyle and to our economy. I believe we can balance our spending while sustaining what makes this county special. lam excited to be your representative on coun- cil and thank you for your support.
