A COUPLE OF NEW INITIATIVES FROM CPAC

CPAC (Chemtura Public Advisory Committee) are proceeding with a couple of ideas which are part of their public education mandate. Speakers from CPAC whether in pairs or singularily will be accepting invitations from community groups to talk about the Elmira water contamination including the current status, future plans and goals. Yours truly has volunteered to assist in case either historical or extremely specific questions regarding Elmira's groundwater are forthcoming from the audience. Volunteers to date include Dr. Dan Holt (Chair), Sebastian Seibel Achenbach (Vise-Chair), Ron Campbell and Graham Chevreau. Certainly the last two have very technical backgrounds and as we have seen, Sebastian and Dan have attacked this, for them, new field of knowledge with vigour. Although CPAC meetings are routinely reported in the Elmira Independent neither the K-W Record nor Woolwich Observer attend, which makes it more important for CPAC members to take the message to the public directly.
