Dear Editor:
Recently a letter was sent to you by Mr. and Mrs. Thomson that contained information that I would like to address as Chair of the Board of Management for the Tom Thomson Art Gallery.
In a recent interview with the Sun-Times, I clearly indicated that we will take another look at the current site for the Gallery. I also indicated that we may look at other sites which had not been identified. I did not say that we would undertake a complete re- think of our current plans. In fact I was clear that our goals had not changed. I was clear our timeline had not changed.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) does periodic testing of products sold in Canada, whether they are processed in this country or not. When samples test positive for bacteria which can cause human illness, CFIA may recall the product, asking retailers and consumers to discard it for safety.
The President's Choice Moroccan-style Hummus with a best before date of June 14, 2015 is one such food product. The public was warned not to eat it when the recall was announced Monday. Unfortunately, one of our staff ate it last Thursday. He has spent the last three days wondering why he felt so miserable. The information in the recall notice might, or might not, have given him the answer.

In severe cases of illness, headache, muscle cramping and changes in blood pressure and pulse rate may occur."

The hypothetical question seems extreme but in an age of ubiquitous camera phones and wifi networks this kind of cyber-bullying is shockingly common. The Owen Sound Academy of Performing Arts has been asking the question in theatres across Grey and Bruce counties with the original production 'Just Delete'.

Linda Myles Gallinger, Chair of the Tom Thomson Gallery Board is quoted as saying in the SunTimes, May 20 that the Tom Thomson Gallery Board will have to undertake a complete rethink of their plans for needed expansion of the facility. This is good.
We speak as 45 year members of the Tom Thomson Gallery, and as active participants in the life of the gallery over that time. We both have been members of the Board, Judy has been Chair of the Board twice and Ken has been City Council appointee. We continue to be seriously engaged and interested in gallery plans, especially the gallery’s future.
We make the following three points with respect to the much-needed review:

The Grey-Bruce "Transplant Trot" is being held Saturday, May 30 at Kelso Beach. This is why that is important.
(Originally published in the Sun Times in 2012 as one of my "Orange Crate" columns.)
"MULDER, Arthur - 76 went in peace to be with his Lord on Feb. 7, 2012, at his home in Owen Sound after a 24 year extension of life thanks to his Heart Transplant in 1988. Art was born on Mar. 13, 1935 in Holland and became a proud Canadian in 1953... Art started work in construction and then took up farming in Bruce County until his retirement due to health concerns which lead to his Heart Transplant.
