NORTHSTAR AEROSPACE IN CAMBRIDGE AN OBJECT LESSON FOR ELMIRA

What really peeves me is that this extraordinary story hasn't even made the Waterloo Region Record yet. Yes the Record have carried some stories about Northstar over the last few years but their recent bankruptcy and effect on ongoing remediation in the Bishop St. community of Cambridge has been ignored. The Cambridge Advocate website has been carrying stories as has the Cambridge Times. It really makes you wonder what the mass media think is important local news. Here in Elmira we are not the end of the earth. We and Cambridge are part of the Region of Waterloo. The relevance of this local Cambridge story here is huge as we too are dealing with a decades long environmental cleanup. If Northstar can hit the financial skids and our Courts not enforce environmental commitments by them, why should it be any different here? Keep in mind Chemtura (Uniroyal) have been in bankruptcy in the U.S. as well as here. This is very close to home.
