Yes, we will probably change the header. Not too keen on the lilac tint either, especially for some of the print. Thanks for your input; after all it’s the readers who have to look at the darn thing.

I like how it’s nice and tidy, but the spaciness doesn’t seem to jive with the subject matter of WW. Something a bit more local or earthy feeling might be a better fit, perhaps?

Has anyone heard if they have caught the perps? I guess we should put cameras around all our cenotaphs. IF they catch even one of these morons, it would be worth it. Trouble is, they are probably kids and don’t have to pay either the cost of fixing their destruction or for the consequences. They should be made to go in the military and work from the ground up until they are fit for inhabiting this country.

…and lots of inefficiencies and general foolishness as well!

Yes indeed, we do have an overabundance of squeaky wheels here. Thanks Mr. Sanderson- right on!

I hasten to add that the letter was prompted by several recent CH articles in which the above misconception appeared. Any resemblance to a municipality with which you are familiar is probably… well, not an accident.

Betty I hope the “Market ” is not attracting folk from HRM and beyond..that can’t be good for the environment..”carbon footprint” and all that! As a keen observer of the ” Market’ a former business owner in Wolfville, a current Wolfville taxpayer and University employee , I am sure that if you asked the taxpaying businesses in Wolfville as to whether they have witnessed an increase in sales on “Market Days” I am sure you would be met with a resounding “NO”. As for eating in our restaurants..I have my doubts. Most come to the ” Market” hand over the cash then drive away.. there is very little residual benefit to the Town other than the costly ( to taxpayers and businesses) “Wolfville ambiance” that we have become accustomed to from the local administration.
Let’s keep our own local businesses healthy with the same incentives that are afforded the ” Market” such as, cheap rent, free parking, free advertising and the ability to pay for produce literally “under the table” where the cash box is kept! Oh! and for the record the name is David.

John???

BTW – word on the street is that the Wolfville “Farm” Market will be using the DeWolfe Fruit Building as permanent digs so Royal Bank and The Bargain Store won’t have to move..

John, it isn’t exactly ethical to snipe at the market anonymously. In fact it is downright bad manners.
The market does and has brought in people from all over including HRM and the south shore who just love to eat in our restaurants and shop in our other stores and get away from the big box stores. Surely you don’t think all the cars parked in Wolfville belong to people who only go to the market? Perhaps the Royal Bank and the bargain stores would like to withdraw and that space could all be used for a year round market?

Complaining about everything in Wolfville makes me wonder why you don’t refresh us with solutions, rather than so many biting comments about those who are voted into positions of authority.

Have you actually trained as a sniper?

I just tried to get through the gobbleygook on the Town of Wolfville site- could not send my comment into the stratosphere for whatever reason. It is so comforting to know that our elected few (a few are working, thank you) despite the wealth of vacant real estate in the business area of town and also apparently in the rental areas. Maybe folks are still staying close to home and to their their wallets because of the flu rather than going out and spending?
