Waiting for answers

By Pam Wright Local Journalism Initiative pamwrightlji@gmail.com

Another year has passed and Wallaceburg Area Wind Concerns (WAWC) members are still waiting for answers from the province.

The advocacy group, as well as affected landowners, are continuing to push the Ministry of Health, Ontario’s Ombudsman and Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Steve Pinsonneault for action.

They want to know if the government is going to officially probe the potential health effects of toxic metals found in the sediment of private wells in North Kent.

According to Denise Shephard, a volunteer director with WAWC, officials continue to sidestep the concerns of residents whose wells produce dirty black water.

“This is an important issue as the effects of this water impacts the health of many people,” she told The Voice in a recent interview. “This can’t be swept under the rug again.”

In a fight that’s spanned the better part of a decade, rural residents in North Kent claim their wells became fouled when industrial wind turbine developments took shape in Chatham-Kent. Many homeowners in the former Chatham Township and Dover areas say their well water turned murky and black, clogging pumps and filters and making it unfit to use and drink – a problem that continues to this day.

Studies have determined the industrial turbines have been

constructed on an aquifer comprised of Kettle Point Black Shale known to carry toxic metals. It’s still unknown if the metals are bio-accessible and potentially harmful to humans.

Along with her husband Terry, Christine Burke is one of the well owners who has been dealing with a fouled well for years, making it necessary for the couple to haul water.

“I’m not just worried about me, I’m worried about my neighbours,” said the Mitchell’s Bay area resident, noting one man is in a wheelchair and the task of procuring clean water is very difficult for him.

In 2023, Burke and WAWC members fundraised to have nine North Kent wells tested by an independent lab. The water analysis found significant concentrations of arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, and nickel. Mercury was found in two cases.

Later in 2023, a motion was brought forward by North Kent Coun. Rhonda Jubenville asking the Ministry of Health to test the sediment for health hazards.

Two letters requesting the testing be done have been sent to the MOH on behalf of Chatham-Kent, but no response has been received to date.

Jubenville said she’s disappointed with the government’s inaction.

“There’s no reason they can’t support the families that are affected,” Jubenville said. “Supporting those families would be a drop in the bucket to the province.”

Local geologist Keith Benn, who sat the expert panel for

Ontario’s all-hazard study in 2021, said the lack of acknowledgment from the province is astounding.

“It’s mind blowing,” Benn said. “Every single well analyzed has some sort of metals in it. But they haven’t reached out. The fact that they will not respond to a municipality is deeply concerning.”

In January 2024, Burke and Benn filed an official complaint about the need for the MOH to conduct sediment testing with Chatham Voice file photo the Ontario Ombudsman’s of- Water well owners in North Kent continue to wait to see how the province fice, but no action has been tak- will handle their water issues, a problem they’ve endured for years. en. According to Burke, the ombudsman is wait~ THANK YOU FOR ing on the MOH for reSHOPPING LOCAL ~ ports.

In the meantime, WAWC is reaching out to Pinsonneault for help.

Shephard said the group is hoping the MPP will present a 1,400-signature petition to the *Valid Thursday, January 9th - Wednesday, January 14th, 2025 Ontario Legislature calling on government to Fresh Fresh Fresh expand the scope of the Boneless Boneless Smoked 2021 all-hazard study to Pork Loin Pork Loin Pork Loin “properly” analyze the metals in the sediment Chops Roast Chops of the wells.

Baby Addison rings in 2025

By Pam Wright Local Journalism Initiative pamwrightlji@gmail.com

Paige Weierstall didn’t even think she was in labour when she arrived at the hospital at 12:30 a.m. New Year’s Day. But Addison Alexandra Maria Pickering had other ideas and made her debut at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance about seven hours later at 8:48 a.m.

As C-K’s first baby of 2025, the infant is 19 inches long and weighs in at 7 lbs. 7 oz.

The new mom, who was 38 and half weeks pregnant, thought she was simply having Braxton Hicks contractions – a common type of contraction soon-to-be

moms experience as a warmup for the real thing.

“I didn’t know I was in labour,” Weierstall told The Voice later in the day. “So, I decided to go just to see and I found out I was already two centimetres dilated.

“It was actually pretty smooth,” the mother of two said of the birth experience, adding she and partner Tim Pickering are also parents to an 18-monthold boy named Emerson.

According to Weierstall, the baby’s big brother doesn’t know what to think of his sister and “just stares at her.”

The Dresden couple picked the name Addison because they liked it. Alexandra is also Weierstall’s second name, and the

name Maria comes from Tim’s mother.

Ironically, baby Addison was believed to be a boy based on a blood test and this was announced at a gender reveal to 45 people when Weierstall was 14 weeks pregnant.

The couple found out later when getting ultrasound pictures done at Bump View in Chatham that the baby was a girl.

“She checked over and over just to be sure,” said the new mom.

Baby Addison is one of three babies born at CKHA on New Year’s Day. A second was born 30 minutes after her and a third came into the world later in the afternoon.

Polar dip set for Jan. 18

By Michael Bennett Local Journalism Initiative The Ridgetown Independent

Registration is open for the eighth annual Chatham-Kent Polar Plunge, the annual fundraiser for Special Olympics Ontario.

Individuals and teams will take a dip in the cold January pool waters on Jan. 18 at Sons of Kent in Chatham.

This year, there will be just one plunge at 4 p.m., as opposed to offering separate afternoon and evening dips for the first seven years.

Chatham-Kent police Sgt. Jason Herder said the organizing committee decided to go with a later afternoon plunge only based on feedback from participants last year.

“We always had a good contingency for the first jump, but we’d get maybe 20 ... 30 if we’re lucky ... for the jump at night,” Herder said. “There was the same energy for the night jump, the atmosphere was always great with the

lights and the fire pits, but we didn’t have a lot of jumpers.”

“We spoke to a lot of people last year, and the response we heard is that when the sun goes down, it’s a lot colder, even though the pool water temperature is the same,” Herder said.

So, for this year’s plunge, there will be a bigger buildup throughout the afternoon, with a live band, vendors, food trucks, and beverages leading up to the 4 p.m. plunge.

After the final jumper, the band will continue playing, and the outdoor venue will remain open until around 6 p.m. when the party will continue inside Sons of Kent.

This will be the third Polar Plunge at the craft brewery as the first four events were held at St. Clair College Thames Campus.

“This is a perfect venue; I think we have one of the best atmospheres around,” Herder said of the number of Polar Plunges across the province.

Participants raised more than

$70,000 in last January’s Plunge, and 100 per cent of the proceeds stayed in Chatham-Kent to host the Special Olympics School Games last July in Ridgetown and Chatham.

“Last year, we were riding the high of the Summer Games coming to town, and the year before, it was our first event after Mike Currie’s passing,” Herder said of the former head of the Chatham-Kent Special Olympics, who died in the fall of 2022.

This year’s goal is to raise $50,000 to go to Special Olympics Ontario.

“It’s an aggressive goal, but I believe it is very achievable,” Herder said.

The entry fee is $40 per person, which will be waived by raising $100 in pledges. Registration is open online at www.polarplunge. ca/chatham-kent where information is also available for businesses and organizations to sign up as a team.

Incentives for team registration will also be available online.

Opinion Double the ‘fun’

Are you ready for two elections in 2025?

We believe the premier might not be, at least after his timing plans took a hit.

Heck, Chatham-Kent’s own Steve Pinsonneault, just elected to the Ontario Legislature last spring might not be either. It will be two elections in one year for him.

But, alas, expect to go to the polls this year for federal and provincial elections.

Premier Doug Ford was all set to call a spring election – a year ahead of his mandate – to seek re-election and a possible third majority government.

And it appears federal parliament will implode with a non-confidence vote to push Justin Trudeau out of power. His bitter breakup with now former Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has all but doomed his government to an early election. Poll numbers indicate the Liberals will get kicked to the curb.

At least there was to be a federal election this year regardless. It was to happen on Oct. 20.

As for the provincial election, it’s an attempt to take advantage of the current political landscape for Ford to retain power.

Prior to the pandemic, it seemed inconceivable Ford would be re-elect-

ed to a second term. Heck, people were just waiting for him to implode. But then he was a solid leader during the pandemic and emerged in time to win a majority government.

After that, pandering to donors led to the Greenbelt scandal, and Ford looked vulnerable. Add to that the fact we were years removed from the Wynne and McGuinty Liberals’ 15 years of rule. These were the people who force fed wind turbines on this part of the province and whose actions jacked up the price of electricity for the average consumer.

But recently, kickback cheque to taxpayers aside, Ford has again taken on a leadership role, this time standing up to Donald Trump, the next U.S. president. Trump has babbled about instituting tariffs against a host of his country’s trading partners, and Ford has fired back, threatening to cut off the supply of energy to the U.S. from Ontario.

In 2023, this province sent enough juice south of the border to power up 1.5 million U.S. homes.

So Ford stood up while Trudeau visited Trump in Mar-a-lago and was dubbed governor of the U.S.’s 51st state.

Get ready to head to those polls in the spring, and probably fall, whether you want to or not.

Helping the homeless is complicated Editor: In support of the editorial, “No easy fix,” relating to the homeless issue, congrats. It was well written, researched and documented.

Get the addicted off drugs and into rehab, get the mentally ill the help they need, and get those who are able to work the needed support schooling or trades.

When the 12 mayors asked for legislation for guidance over the homeless, it was granted by the province.

Municipalities have

always complained about downloading from the provincial and federal governments (highways, social services, etc., etc.) because it becomes solely our cost. When we ask for this legislation, we receive financial funding. However, two or three years down the road, will these two governments say, “You asked for it, now you solely fund it?” Just asking.

When Mayor Canniff and the other mayors sent

that letter to the province, one would think it had council’s endorsement.

Some reports claim otherwise. (Editor’s note: Canniff said he did it on his own.)

I truly believe that a request such as this needs council’s approval in the minutes.

There is no better place to live than Chatham-Kent and the Maple City.

C-K has great Samaritans Editor: I fell on the ice under the snow on the path at the northwest corner of Keil Drive and Grand Avenue West on Jan. 2.

cover me up while they called 911.

They all stayed with me until the paramedics took me into the ambulance. Sorry, I didn’t get their names; they were awesome. Many thanks.

Thanks also to paramedics Erin and Ryan who checked me out. It appears to be badly pulled muscles.

Ensure family members have a will Editor: I just lost my youngest daughter at the end of October.

If her physical loss wasn’t enough, I’m now dealing with all the paperwork that has to be cleaned up. Ordinarily, these things can be dealt with fairly swiftly by the executor who is appointed in a person’s last will and testament.

Unfortunately, my daughter had no will and thus had not appointed

an executor.

By birth, her living daughter should assume that role.

But agencies and financial establishments do not recognize her officially in that role.

Even with a death certificate, I was unable to access my daughter’s bank account, adjust her auto insurance or transfer her auto ownership over to her daughter.

Reader misses Russell the Crow Editor: It is interesting to hear local differing points of view that broaden our insight.

When I first saw the statue of Russell the Crow, I was driving by as the sun lit up the carving.

Immediately, my mind fancifully made an image of a young native dancer

in regalia springing into a dance of welcome to the crows passing overhead.

Every time I passed by in my car, I smiled.

I liked it. I miss it.

It took me a frustrating month of “sorry, there’s nothing we can do” moments before I realized I would have to acquire a legal document to assume an executor role.

I contacted a lawyer and filled out the necessary

documents, one of which was a letter signed by my granddaughter that gave me permission from her to assume the role.

That document, including references, goes from the lawyer to the courts to be approved and certified.

The process takes about

30 days.

My hope is that, as official estate trustee, I can finally begin to deal with all the things that tied my daughter to society.

If you are a parent of adult children, I urge you to get them a will kit or a lawyer’s business card.

Most people think, “I’m

35. I’m not going to die.”

My daughter was 47 and hadn’t planned on dying either.

My wish for you is that you don’t have to go through what I am enduring.

Provincial accountability for local politicians?

The Chatham Voice

The Ontario government is looking to strengthen municipal governance and accountability across the province.

Introduced in December, the Municipal Accountability Act 2024, if passed, would enable the creation of a standardized municipal code of conduct, a consistent integrity commissioner process and mandatory code of conduct training for council members and some local boards.

The biggest change would include a mechanism that would allow for penalties and the potential removal of

an elected official from office if in serious violation of the proposed code. However, removal and disqualification could only occur upon the recommendation of the municipal integrity commissioner, a concurring report from Ontario’s integrity commissioner, and a unanimous vote of the municipal council, with the exception of the person under review.

Currently, there is no process available to municipal councils to remove elected officials found to be in serious violation of the proposed code.

Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Paul

Calandra said the new rules would support accountability.

“We had to make sure we got this right, which is why we worked with Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner to find the best path forward to create a standardized code of conduct process across the province,” Calandra said in a media release. “This process will support consistent accountability across our municipalities.”

The new legislation would replace the existing patchwork system that requires all of Ontario’s 444 municipal councils to write and set their own codes of conduct.

Deck the Shelves

The Chatham Voice again teamed up with giving advertisers to help Deck the Shelves of two Chatham food banks recently. With the support of Hyundai of Chatham, Excel Realty, Chatham Chrysler, Mamma Maria’s, Community Futures Chatham-Kent, Sundowner Truck Accessories, Edward Jones on St. Clair Street, Hinnegan-Piseski Funeral Home, and Titan Forklifts, we were able to donate $1,200 to Outreach for Hunger and Salvation Army.

Popular toy show returns Jan. 19

By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com

There’s something for every toy fan or collector at the 22nd annual Chatham-Kent Toy Show on Jan. 19 at the Bradley Centre.

In fact, organizer Rob Sterling said there is so much “something” that the show can’t expand any further. Vendors and displays will take up 215 tables.

The show features farm toys, trains, sports cards, trucks, construction toys, model ships, books, planes, cars, action figures, dolls, collectibles, coins and more, Sterling said.

Today’s size and variety is a long way from where the show began, Sterling said.

“I’ve been part of it since Day 1. I’m 37 now,” he said. “When we started, I think we had about 40 tables set up at one of the conference rooms in the Wheels Inn. What we’re up to now, it’s quite a change.”

It started out primarily as a farm toy show, but it has expanded into so much more.

Sterling said there really is something for every toy or collectible fan.

“It’s the range of items

– everything from highly collectible items right down to kids’ play toys,” he said.

The variety of items for sale includes 3-D printed items, comic books, baseball and hockey cards and so much more.

Plus, there are displays from local groups.

The Chatham Aeronauts will showcase some of their members’ scale-model aircraft.

There will be two train displays, courtesy the Chatham & District Model Railway Club.

The show will also feature several hands-on kids activities. Sterling said those are being finalized.

However, a popular activity is locked in, thanks to the Chatham Home Depot.

“The Chatham store has always been great at supporting us. They’re bringing in their building kits,” Sterling said.

The event today maxes out the 25,000-plus square-feet of the Freedom Hall in the Bradley Centre.

By New Year’s Eve, all display tables had been spoken for. Sterling said vendors are still looking for spots at the popular event.

“The requests keep com-

Displays, such as this one from the Chatham Model Railroad Club, are always popular at the Chatham-Kent Toy Show. The event, which features displays, vendors and hands on activities, takes place Jan. 19 at the Bradley Centre.

ing in, but we keep telling them no at this point,” he said.

The organizing committee has considered expanding, but Sterling said it would just be too much.

“It’s a lot to manage with what we have. We’re happy with the size we have,” he said. “We do this as a once-a-year event, as a fundraiser, and there’s a limit to what we’re ready to take on.”

The toy show runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for students, and free for children aged six and under.

Funds raised support Outreach for Hunger food bank and the 4-H Toy Club.

Last year’s event saw about 2,400 visitors attend. Organizers hope for a similar number this year.

Special events rocked in 2024

The Chatham Voice

Last year was a busy one for special events in Chatham-Kent with a total of 186 processed by the municipality.

That’s up by 16 from the previous year, according to a report to council from the chief administrator’s office.

At 68 per cent, the majority of events were put on by local organizations, businesses or service clubs, with most taking place from May to November. Four new cultural events were added during the year, including Nagar Kirtan, ONAM, CK Welcomes and Taste of Chatham-Kent.

One of the highlights of 2024 was the addition of the Mainstreet Stage, the report said.

The new portable stage has led to a great deal of positive feedback, officials said, with many noting the new amenity has enhanced events.

A more detailed report on the stage is coming to council later this year.

The calendar is filled with fun tidbits, quotes, and nature days. Photos were captured by SFN members,

Obituary Carol Diane Thompson

passed away peacefully on January 1, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on October 21, 1952, she was a devoted wife, cherished mother, proud grandmother, and beloved friend.

Carol married Bruce Burton Thompson on April 15, 1989, sharing 35 years of love and partnership.

Carol was predeceased by her son, Adam Joseph Armstrong (June 7, 1999) and was a loving mother to Sarah Armstrong Baribeau (Jacques) and stepmother to Marianne Willson and Terry Thompson. She was the proud grandmother of five: Mathew, Arielle, Sarah, Emily, and Eleanor. Carol was predeceased by her mother, Helen Walton McCann (2024), her father, Kenneth Walton (1988), and her stepfather, Hugh McCann (2016) and her first husband (Larry). She is survived by her brothers Murray Walton (Dianne), Marty Walton and Mike Walton. She will be deeply missed by her step-sister, Darlene Bateman (Doug) and step-brothers, Rob McCann, and Bill Ballantyne, along with her extended family and friends. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate PSWs and nursing staff from Bayshore, as well as the dedicated doctors and nurses in the Emergency Room and ICU at the Chatham Kent Health Alliance, for their exceptional care and kindness. A celebration of Carol’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice in her memory.

Carol will be remembered for her warmth, resilience, and unwavering love for her family. She leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories and an enduring impact on the lives she touched. Arrangements entrusted to Life Transitions Burial and Cremation Service Inc.
