Hi Webbers! Summer had arrived just in time for the Fall Fairs around Wellington County. We hope that you all attended, and celebrated together both our heritage and our God given blessings. We are fortunate indeed!
But, within our County there have been many sad stories, which have, through criminality and public apathy, left the abused victims to, as The Wellington Advertiser editor Dave Adsett recently quoted “Fuggedaboutit.” Whilst reading Mr. Adsett’s editorial in The Wellington Advertiser edition of September 4th, page six (go look it up), I am again, some 60 years later, reminded of what my grandfather Manderson instilled in my memory; he said “Willie, ye may think that ye dinna ken whit yer adversaries are thinkin’, just hae patience and they’ll tell ye themselves.” Sound words of wisdom! And here’s why.
For months now I have been searching for the right conditions to happen, which would facilitate the introduction to the Smelly-Welly.com radar screen one of the most heart-rending tales of a level of evil depravation that one so-called human being could inflict upon another gentle soul and his family. I refer to, of course, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Sage and family, formerly of County Road 34 in Puslinch Township. The address easily recognized by the name of “The County of Wellington Tree Nursery” a.k.a. the Green Legacy con-job, at great financial and emotional cost to many people. Which brings me back to editor Adsett’s editorial referenced. With our reader’s understanding, we shall focus on the relevant points and how they co-relate to the Little Tract/Green Legacy fraud to the Taxpayers and where the money has gone, outside of the lawful process.
It is uncanny that this editorial would be published at this time, but as you all know, we receive all “candies” with gratitude and proceed to run with them! Mr. Adsett’s observations can be attributed to his personal experience as Warden, during which time the Sage family was subjected to criminal harassment by many members of County Council staff in an attempt to evict this family from their home of long standing, to make way for the Whitcombe/Wilson (et al)’s “vision” of this Green Legacy Tree Nursery. Mr. Adsett, as Warden, sent his “boys” to appease Mr. Sage who was threatening to go to the Tenant/Landlord Tribunal. The resulting lie of a promise given to Mr. Sage, that $150,000 for required repairs to the Little Tract house, only delayed the subsequent onslaught of terror tactics inflicted on the Sage family which ended up in the Ontario Court of Appeals (Divisional Court) which found for the tenants 3-0 on the vote of the Justices. All of these facts were not shared with County Council, who, to quote Mr. Adsett’s reference to “Vitriol for Italians” were instructed to “Fuggedaboutit!” They chose to, Smelly-Welly.com won’t! Justice is coming, Mr. and Mrs. Sage, like my grandfather said “hae patience.”  There are people who genuinely care! Your good neighbours, Jack and Helen Purdy, must be proof of that to you! Your turn has come; Smelly-Welly.com will expose the crimes committed against you, and by whom. And Webbers, this is just the start, now that it is on the Smelly-Welly.com radar screen, and it will not be removed until the Sages both have received the Justice they deserve. They “bad guys” are exposed! God bless.

PS. Dave Adsett: Your “easy” vitriol for anything Liberal has, once again, exposed your motivation to use your editorial power to promote and expound your Federal Political Conservative opinions, which, all things considered, have no place in a newspaper that claims to serve all of Wellington County. It is very ironic that you chose to refer to the so-called “Larger Hypocrisy.” We both know you modeled your editorial to end up describing the consistent operative process used by Wellington County Council, with you as Warden at the time of the great inhuman behaviour brought down on the Sage family by you and your “Star Chamber.” Your fellow political current “Star Chamber cronies,” your dirty little secret is out now “Davie lad,” Your fellow political current “Star Chamber buddies” will be democraticllay removed from Office, as you were, having just completed your year as Warden. You see, Dave, some of us refused to “Fuggedaboutit.”
“A lager hyprocrisy indeed,” but not nearly as enormous as your group’s, in their systematic destruction of the family life of the Sage family, all this without the addition of a Restraining Order. Is life not eventually just, Davy lad?
