EVEN CHILDREN ARE SACRIFICED ON THE ALTER OF POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY

 Who might I be talking about here? How about the Waterloo Region District School Board and the Ron Archer affair? To the best of my knowledge teacher Mr. Archer was subjected to the "Pass The Trash" policies of the school board at the time. This meant that as student and parent complaints dogged him from one school to the next he was simply transferred to a new school where school authorities most likely lied to outraged parents by suggesting that oh no there were absolutely zero complaints in his record suggesting inappropriate behaviour, words and touching. Of course that story stopped after his conviction and jail time. Yes since then other teachers and at least one principal have been charged with sexual offenses and removed from WRDSB schools.

Then we have Woolwich Township whose mayor is a former Chair of the School Board (WRDSB) i.e. Chair of the Trustees . Sandy of course is not the first psuedo politician to start at the Trustee level and rise through municipal politics and further (think Liz Witmer). During MECAC alleged deliberations  several years back Sandy actually had the nerve to raise the confrontation between myself and a teacher that occurred almost simultaneously with the Ron Archer affair (early. mid & late 90s). Sandy of course misrepresented those facts as she is wont to do from time to time. 

Back to Woolwich Township who to my knowledge have done absolutely nothing past or present to protect children swimming in the Martin home made, in ground swimming pool. A man made diversion known as the Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (SDDB) was built in the early fall of 1983 which connected both ground and surface water from Uniroyal Chemical into Martin's Creek which had a small diversion on it to replenish the water in the Martin swimming pond. 

Finally we have the former Bolender Landfill children's attraction of a Water Park. The location at the north end of the Park seemed odd when the boundaries of the Landfill have always been open to speculation. In fact soil samples taken prior to the construction showed "organics" which is the term usually used for decayed and decaying food stuffs. There are also word of mouth descriptions from nearby long term residents as to where they saw garbage buried. Oh and of course this municipal dump also accepted Uniroyal and other local industrial wastes.

All in all our local authorities have to my mind made their priorities clear and they certainly are not the children.
