I was astonished to read in Obslife (April) that according to the Provincial CPF Chairperson, Hanief Loomat, the Woodstock CPF (and other CPFs) have been run by a 'cabal' that is 'intent on keeping the wider community out'! My belief is that the former CPF Chair (Teun Baaertman) and the present Chair (James Cowley, who I know well) are honourable upstanding people who are motivated by nothing other than a desire to enhance levels of safety in their communities. They spend many (unpaid) hours on this task and show great patience in their dealings with SAPs, who they try to support whenever possible. They would welcome greater community participation with open arms (as would ONW) and are hardly to be blamed if so few community members are willing or able to give of their time and energy. Loomat's allegations suggest a conspiracy theory, are probably libellous, and reflect very poorly on him.
