CLASS: SOME HAVE IT & OTHERS DON'T

Some CPAC (Chemtura Public Advisory Committee) members showed exactly zero class with their behaviour towards the new CPAC members appointed by the Todd Cowan council in the spring of 2011. The new CPAC, under Chair Dr. Dan Holt, welcomed old CPAC members to public CPAC meetings including recognizing and assisting their ability to speak their opinions and positions. The old CPAC, after receiving respectful overtures invited Sebastian, Vivienne and Dr. Holt to a meeting held at the Elmira Library in the summer of 2011. Old CPAC members Sandra Bair, Susan Bryant and Pat McLean then accosted and verbally abused Dr. Holt and Vivienne when they arrived by invitation and in good faith. Sebastian did not show up until later. Along with the three classless wonders was Ken Drieger and one or two other old CPAC members who showed class by not ganging up on their invited guests. Sandra, Susan and Pat insulted, ridiculed and called the new CPAC members motivations into question. In a nutshell, Pat and Susan especially, had long received preferential treatment from Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura as well as from Woolwich Township. Their wee noses were hugely out of joint and they took it out slyly and nastily on two newly appointed CPAC members. That's a lack of class. ........................................................................................................... Yesterday four CPAC (Citizens Public Advisory Committee) sent e-mails to the MOE/MECP, Woolwich Council, TAG chair and members and to two different local media. Mine was the first and it simply was a copy of my Elmira Advocate post from yesterday titled "SNAKEBITTEN" LANXESS FEAR POISONOUS BITES FROM BELOW GROUND SNAKES ON THE STROH PROPERTY!" Two of the four e-mails from current CPAC members specifically mentioned the current TAG members and complimented them. This despite the fact that the pretend mayor Sandy Shantz rudely, ignorantly and corruptly removed the current CPAC in 2015 and replaced them with her invention of RAC and TAG. The current CPAC's behaviour towards citizen volunteers on TAG has been respectful and courteous. That is class not to blame third parties for the disgraceful behaviour of others. .......................................................................................................................... The comments made by three of the four CPAC members yesterday harshly criticized Lanxess Canada and the Ontario MOE/MECP. They harshly criticized never ending lies, bullsh.. and more. That is approximately 31 years of lies and bullsh.. from the polluter and their friends and allies including some on Woolwich Council. Citizens are not obligated to be forever kind, generous, sympathetic, and cordial with professional liars unwilling to be reasonable. If more citizens had stepped up years ago and said "Enough bullsh..!", things could have been much different now. Instead our Township Councils have generally aided and abetted the ongoing charades passing for public consultation and the ongoing manipulation and deception of the public.
