DOES THE CHEMTURA TRINITY = SANDY'S ELECTION EXPENSE FIASCO ?

1) Public smearing of Woolwich volunteers (CPAC) by Chemtura (& the M.O.E.)

2) Ongoing leakage of solvents, PAHs, Endosulfan, Dioxins, DDT & metabolites into the Canagagigue Creek

3) The Stroh Drain (east side) bypass to the creek including exposure route to children


1) Chemtura and the M.O.E. were under appropriate siege by the Chemtura Public Advisory Committee. Immediately upon taking office (within days) our new Mayor was on the attack criticizing CPAC at the October public CPAC meeting. She and Mark Bauman continued this relentless and untruthful assault upon Woolwich volunteers attacking their credibility, competence, integrity and even alleging physical intimidation and harassment of Chemtura and the M.O.E.. All this without a lick of honest evidence before them.

2) Ministry of Environment studies in 1995-96, 2012, 2013 prove discharges of Dioxins and DDT downstream of the company into the Canagagigue Creek. They (M.O.E.) so far have kept the completed results for 2014 hidden from CPAC. They are saving them for two committees (RAC & TAG) better suited to their polluting personalities and deceptive ways. RAC & TAG take over on September 1, 2015. CPAC's recent study and sampling (July 2015) indicates the other contaminants as well as DDT.

3) This is the smoking gun of intentional illegal dumping into the creek even after the 1989 Elmira water crisis. This manmade Drain circa 1985 runs parallel to Chemtura's eastern property border and within 20-25 metres of it. It takes ground and surface water from both the Stroh property and the Chemtura property and directs it into what was originally a natural spring that flows southwards past a manmade swimming pond and into the Canagagigue Creek. This pond is filled with both groundwater and the original natural springwater. The latter is via a pipe which contrary to Mark Bauman's claim that it only helps fills the pond via a sluice type structure when dammed; in fact gravity flows on its' own directly into the pond. This pond has been used by Mennonite children for decades.


Sandy Shantz's election has saved Chemtura Canada hundreds of millions of dollars in east side cleanup costs. It has saved the Ontario M.O.E. possibly a public inquiry into their negligence, corruption and collusion with Chemtura. Her election totally changed the channel that was all about a manmade offsite toxic liquid bypass that may include an Interceptor Trench capturing all Chemtura's east side toxic groundwater and diverting it east and south. Two professional reports have now condemned the Chemtura/M.O.E. actions and non-actions on their east side.

The RAC group consists of Sandy, likely Mark B., GRCA, Region and a paid by Chemtura Chair of TAG. TAG will include Sandy's campaign helper Pat McLean as well as Susan Bryant. Those two have for years personally benefited by their amicable association with Chemtura.

This entire revolution and rescue of Chemtura was totally dependant upon Sandy Shantz winning the election. Sandy was herself improperly rescued by the Region's MECAC (election compliance committee). They had but one duty and that was to order a full blown forensic audit of her election expenses. They illegally accepted her months late revised Financial Statement and two page "audit" instead on July 2/15.

Was there too much at stake here including regional and provincial politicians worried about public exposure for their October 7, 1991 "sweetheart" deal with Uniroyal Chemical (Chemtura) ? Too much at stake here that is to let this important election be left entirely up to the voters aka "unwashed masses"?
