IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK, QUACKS LIKE A DUCK, IT PROBABLY IS A DUCK

So we appear to have a conspriracy of silence going on in regards to the methane problems at the Bolender Park Landfill. Normally one would expect and hope that the local media would step up and publish the facts of the matter. To date that has happened only partially. The Woolwich Observer published a fairly long article on August 3rd after I appeared as a Delegate at Woolwich Council. They did have numerous inaccuracies in their article some of which I pointed out in my on-line Comments on their Website. To the Observer's credit they kept those Comments up on their website for at least a couple of weeks.

CKCO-TV (Kitchener) also put on the news late Tuesday and Wednesday at noon the bare bones of the methane issue here in Elmira. They also quoted the Township's blatantly dishonest and inaccurate comment that methane migration reaching homes and businesses wasn't a concern. Wow! I followed up with an e-mail to the Waterloo Region Record, CKCO-TV and the Woolwich Observer pointing out the former methane collection system that ran for about fourteen years and the fact that currently the Township are trying to get a new methane collection system built and installed on the #86 Auto Recycling property (formerly Paleshi's). If there was no concerns then why have they been spending taxpayers' money for the last thirty years on Conestoga Rovers/GHD, gas probe monitoring and now a new methane collection system?

Clearly Woolwich Township are so full of shit, their eyes are brown.

This morning in two separate phone messages to Steve Kannon, Editor of the Observer and to Joe Merlihan, Publisher I have advised that if they don't already have a copy of the Conestoga Rovers/GHD Reports on the Bolender Park Landfill methane issues, that I will bring mine over for them to copy. I await their call back to me. My phone messages were an hour ago.
