WOOLWICH OBSERVER HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY THE CPAC CHAIR



As expected our local newspaper have been approached by the Chairman of the Citizens Public Advisory Committee (CPAC). Dr. Dan Holt has sent a polite and courteous request to the Observer for a correction to their otherwise excellent article in last week's Observer titled "New hand on tiller to navigate Elmira's groundwater morass". He has quoted from a clarifying e-mail sent to CPAC by Dr. Richard Jackson. This clarification from Dr. Jackson was greatly appreciated and is but one more sign as to his character. Woolwich were lucky beyond belief to have had his services and talents even for a brief sixteen months.

TAG will be back in action next month namely February 2/17 and February 16 both at 6:30 pm.. RAC reconvenes on March 9/17 at 4 pm.. Both committees meet in Woolwich Council Chambers. I sincerely hope that the Woolwich Observer, the Township's only real local newspaper, will be able to attend these meetings. Paige Desmond has been doing an excellent job for the Waterloo Region Record both with her environmental stories as well as her political ones. That said our local paper here in Elmira are desperately needed for accurate information on both those issues. The title alone of last week's article describing our problems as "...Elmira's groundwater morass" is right on the money. I have long admired the Woolwich Observer and far prefer to get along with them rather than to butt heads as has unfortunately occurred a couple of times in the recent past.
