DOCTOR DAN HOLT KICKS BUTT (S)

Yesterday it was the Elmira Independent story titled "Critical report endorsed by Woolwich". Today it is the Woolwich Observer front page story titled "Keep focus on contaminants, says CPAC chair". Gail Martin's story in the Independent focuses on the most recent report from MTE Consulting which states "...that the results of the proposed (Conestoga Rovers) shallow soil sampling program will not accomplish the goal of the proposed work program ". Woolwich Council chose to endorse MTE's latest report which of course refers to the recently discovered and researched east side off-site flow of contaminants from Chemtura into the Canagagigue Creek via the Stroh Drain.

Steve Kannon's article in the Observer focuses exactly where it should. That is also where Dr. Dan Holt wishes to focus and that is on the facts of the ongoing off-site discharge of contaminants. This CPAC position is of course absolutely contrary to the fairy tale of containment that both Chemtura and the Ontario Ministry of Environment have been spinning for years.
Quoting Dr. Dan Holt "With this preponderance of evidence mounting, it is the firm belief of CPAC that the Chemtura site is an uncontained hazardous waste site."

Yours truly was also quoted from my Delegation to Council as I stated "New revelations regarding east-side leakage into the neighbour's propertry and then southwards into the Canagagigue Creek and the Grand River continue to unfold. These include ongoing fish consumption advisories for Dioxin contamination, found only in the Canagagigue and the Grand River below the mouth of the Canagagigue. Nowhere else in waterloo region are there Dioxin advisories".

Lastly I will quote Steve Kannon's views as to the behaviour of Mayor Shantz. It is my opinion that Steve is both understating and attempting to be non inflammatory with his comments. In other words I'm accusing Steve of being "nice" to Sandy. He stated that "He (me) obviously rubs Mayor Sandy Shantz the wrong way as she repeatedly interrupted the start of his presentation to insist Marshall remain "respectful" and attempted to rebut some of the points he raised."
