MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES BEWARE: BIOGAS & GRAVEL PITS

Today's Woolwich Observer has two Letters to the Editer on our local big issues namely Woolwich Bio-En and the West Montrose gravel pit. Also the front page story is "Biogas opponents hear from the candidates". I'm not sure whether to applaud Mayoral candidate, Pat McLean's political instincts or her stubborness. The last election cost her her job because she would not bluntly endorse twin ice pads. Now she is waffling on fighting against Woolwich Bio-En because she feels that the Province have given her that option. Bad decision. Take a position, one way or the other and then be prepared to defend and debate it. Waffling is for career and professional politicians, neither of which are needed in Woolwich.

Lynn Hare of West Montrose is still not satisfied with Councillor Weber's response to lowered property values in West Montrose or Conestogo/ Winterbourne. Also Michael Purves-Smith's Letter focuses on increased truck traffic and safety in regards to Woolwich Bio- En.

I am most disappointed to have an ongoing Wednesday evening commitment in Kitchener and thus have been unable to attend the Biogas meetings. The next one is scheduled for September 22/10 at the WMC at 6:30 pm. and Chuck Martin of Woolwich Bio- En has been asked to attend and present.
