For Chatham’s Ryan Doyle, it was that day in Bobcaygeon. That’s the one and only time he saw iconic Canadian rockers The Tragically Hip live, in the summer of 2011 during Big Music Fest at an outdoor event just south of that Ontario community. And now, he’s trying to bring the band’s final concert – singer Gord Downie has terminal brain cancer – to Tecumseh Park. No, the band, which is doing a tight farewell tour across Canada in select cities, is not playing live here, but Doyle is working to show CBC’s airing of the band’s final concert – in the Hip’s home town of Kingston on Aug. 20 – in Tecumseh Park on a huge LED screen. And make money for charity in the process. For Doyle, it all just made perfect sense. “My first concert ever was in Bobcaygeon,” he said, referring to The
Hip’s performance in the central Ontario town of which one of their bestknown songs is named. “I will remember that forever.” Doyle also tried to get tickets to one of the concerts The Hip is doing this summer, but like so many other Hip fans, he was unable to secure any ducats, and didn’t want to pay huge dollars to scalpers. His next choice was to see about bringing the band to Chatham, at least on a big screen in his backyard. “I heard CBC was doing the final concert live, so I was going to put it on a big projector screen in the backyard for my ball team,” he said. “But I’ve done charity work in the past and thought we could do something for charities too.” So he contacted the CBC, and got the thumbs up to hold a free event airing the concert. “I got the rights to air it from the CBC. It’s just snowballed from there.” Continued on page 2

Hospice to benefit from park event
A mighty cut
Continued from page 1
Bruce Corcoran/The Chatham Voice
St. Clair College student Rob Martin takes a big swing during sweltering conditions Friday playing members of the Chatham-Kent Police Service. The cops and kids squared off in a charity food-raiser game, with each player responsible for bringing non-perishable food items to the event. All were donated to Outreach for Hunger. With the temperature near the mid-30s, players on both sides were soaked in sweat by the end of the first inning, but continued to play hard all game.
There will be bands performing prior to the concert. A massive beer tent will take up roughly half the park, and the entire municipality is invited. Doyle said the charities of choice are the Chatham-Kent Hospice and the Sunnybrook Foundation – a charity he said Downie expressed interest in. While it is a free admission event, Doyle said there will be people at the gate accepting charitable donations and handing out tax receipts. On top of the airing of The Hip’s final concert, local bands will perform from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. It’s
this element of the day for which Doyle is seeking support from local businesses. He is looking for various sponsorships to help offset costs. Anyone interested can e-mail him at r.doyle@jmhigroup.ca. When the local bands leave the stage, Doyle said they will set up a 24x13.5 ft. LED screen to air The Hip’s concert. “It will literally take up about three quarters of the width of the stage. Everybody should be able to see it from anywhere in the park,” he said. “The support I’ve received from the community so far is awesome,” he said. “I’m hoping be-
tween 5,000 and 10,000 people show up.” The beer tent, at 58,000 square feet, can hold up to 4,900 people, he added. The Knights of Columbus will run that element of the event, and a “favourable portion” of the beer sales will go to the charities, Doyle said. Social media support has been promising. He said the Facebook page he set up, The Hip in the Park, went to more than 4,000 members in just two days. The Go Fund Me page for the event topped $1,000 in donations over the same time period. “You can tell the city wants this bad,” he said.

Councilors want King St. back

The lack of progress at the Boardwalk on the Thames condominium development has a pair of Chatham-Kent council members raising questions about the project’s use of municipal property. Councillor Doug Sulman has requested information about whether the municipality has a written agreement about how
long Everlast Group Ltd., developers of the site, will continue to occupy a King Street sidewalk, part of the road way and a public laneway at the rear of the project at the intersection of King and Fifth streets. A portion of sidewalk along the north side of King Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets and a right turn lane on King have been closed for three years. “Is the developer paying
a fee, has he made some handshake deal with the mayor, what’s going on here?” Sulamn asked. “He can take as long as he wants to finish the project but I’d like an idea as to when we get our street back. I’d like to know if taxes are being paid and if there is some realistic idea when it might be finished.” Sulman said in some municipalities, fees are negotiated and penalties can

be built in to ensure municipal interests are recognized. “In Toronto, it costs money to take over municipal property but in Toronto it doesn’t take years to build a condominium,” he said. Councillor Michael Bondy said he’s tired of driving through a gutter every time he has to use King Street. “It is our major downtown thoroughfare and we have this unfinished blight there for all to see,” he said. “I go to Toronto and see a 40-storey high building completed in 18 months and it’s taken seven years since this was announced and it isn’t finished yet? I think we’re being played for chumps.” The $50 million project was announced in the fall of 2010 with developer Victor Boutin saying he was in Chatham due to the work of mayor Randy Hope. Work began in 2013 but it has been plagued by construction, labour and safety delays. Originally, the 13-storey development was to contain 64 condominium units, a 22-room hotel, underground parking and 15,000 square feet of street-level retail space. The concrete building
shell has been devoid of any visible construction work for weeks. A crane was removed a month ago. Seven stories rise above street level. In April of 2013, Post Media reported 80 per cent of the project was sold. The latest report indicated the building would be closed in by April after delivery of “state-of-the-art” balconies. The current announced completion date is December of this year. Bondy and Sulman both said a completed project would be a benefit to the downtown. “I’d be happy to see it done,” Sulman said. “If Everlast isn’t going to finish it, sell it to someone who will.” Bondy said the munici-

pality still has more than $200,000 in funds set aside as part of downtown development. “We can’t spend the money since that program is now defunct, but we can put it back into our general funds if the project isn’t going to be completed.” A Chatham Voice story last year detailed how a similar Everlast project in the Halton Hills community of Georgetown was in the planning process for nearly a decade without construction taking place. The 12-acre Barber Mill site that went through various development plans before being abandoned was listed for sale at a price of $5 million. Everlast’s website notes the firm was established in 1980.

Pokemon Go a hit at library By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Monster hunters flocked to Chatham’s library July 21, armed with nothing more than handheld devices. Their targets? The virtual reality pocket monsters of Pokemon GO.
During the afternoon, the library dropped lures to entice the monsters to come out. Stefanie Lawson, in charge of children’s services at the library, said it was a busy day at the Pokemon stop. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
“This is nice. The library acters on her tablet. is a safe environment for Players use Wi-Fi or celparents and kids,” she lular data plans to play said. the game, H u n t e r “I like it.

“I like it. You go out in the real world,” Boorman said. “It takes up too much of your battery, however.” Fellow hunter Gabriel Vanmoorsel, 11, loves the 3D element of the game and the fact it takes you out and about to find the monsters.

Airport hosts second Flight Fest Bruce Davidson, a co-organizer of Flight Fest, said the event is a fund and awareness raiser for the 294 Chatham Kinsmen Air Cadets. Only a matter of days before the event, organizers learned the feature aircraft, a DC-3 Dakota transport aircraft that had served in the Second World War, would not be able to attend. That left
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
Mother Nature brought the heat, and the organizers of CK Flight Fest brought the vintage aircraft on the weekend. Despite the former, the event drew hundreds of onlookers to check out the latter on Saturday at the Chatham Municipal Airport.
Davidson and fellow organizer Brent DeNure scrambling. But thanks to their ties with The Yankee Air Force Inc., they found a very suitable replacement in a B-25 Mitchell twin-engine medium bomber. The group sent The Yankee Lady, a B-17 heavy bomber two years ago to Chatham. Both planes served in
the Second World War. Davidson said the B-25C flew sorties over Italy. “We established a good relationship working with them a couple of years ago,” he said of The Yankee Air Force Inc. personnel. For a fee, the Mitchell took people up for a flight over Lake Erie during Flight Fest, similar to what the B-17 Flying For-
tress did two years ago. There were other vintage aircraft at Flight Fest, including a Harvard trainer from the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association out of Windsor, and a de Havilland Vampire decked out in RCAF markings. The fighter, which was the first jet plane in the RCAF, flew in about 8:30 a.m. and was on static display for the
day. Davidson said the warm weather Saturday made it a bigger challenge for the hot air balloon team that took people up for morning rides. To get the balloon to rise, the air inside must be significantly hotter than the surrounding air. That meant they burned more fuel, and actually ran out about 10 a.m.

Boardwalk Q&A It appears developers of the empty concrete shell that looms over downtown Chatham may finally have to answer questions about the project. For some three years, the Everlast Group has blocked a city sidewalk, part or all of two municipal streets and reduced core parking for its Boardwalk on the Thames condominium development. The municipality has set aside more than $200,000 in incentives for the project, money that could be used for other projects. Now councillor Doug Sulman is asking some tough questions about when the project will be completed and whether the developer is paying a fee for its use of municipal streets as is done in some other communities. Questions concerning whether there was a “wink and a nod” agreement allowing Everlast an infinite amount of time to complete the work need to be answered, at least in terms of usage of public property. Aside from safety infractions and labour issues, the project has been dogged by controversy including the motive behind the mayor’s sudden desire to move the Chatham Cenotaph away from the project (thereby increasing ease of access to it). Only when it was noted the Cenotaph sits on the site of a battlefield was the notion discarded. We’d love to bring you the answers to progress on the building but the developer hasn’t returned our calls in years. We don’t operate as a public relations arm of the developer, gushing over the project’s state of the art balconies, the 80 per cent sold figures given out years ago, the new, even better crane on its way or claims about the weather. We did some investigative journalism about a similar project Everlast undertook in another community and what we found didn’t inspire optimism. Everlast has been in business for decades so it’s not as if the firm shouldn’t be capable but we wonder where Chatham ranks in terms of priorities. We welcome the Boardwalk; we believe a downtown residential development is not only desirable but also eminently possible. Whether its possible under Everlast may be another matter.

Opinion
Hospital board deserves praise Sir: It’s time to commend the present Sydenham District Hospital (SDH) board. Its actions are bold and righteous. The outstanding job they’ve done so far triggered a memory. It was late in July of 2010, not long after the joint annual meeting with Public General Hospital (PGH); SDH was never allowed to have its own annual meeting. Can you guess who called the shots, I mean, all the shots? As I’m leaving the St.
Clair College auditorium where the meeting was held, low and behold the then Chatham-Kent Health Alliance VP/Chief Financial Officer, Anthony DiCaita, was directly behind me. CKHA always stacked the meetings with numerous staff throughout the audience. Don’t know why there would be a number of such dear people near me, but we won’t go there. This was an opportunity I could not miss. I ad-
dressed him headon, and politely told him that he had lied. Embarrassed, quickly he came back with, “If you want to discuss this privately, I’d be happy to meet with you.” This led to a meeting a few weeks later. Three of us met in the Sydenham Hospital cafeteria, DiCaita, a former member of the SDH Board prior to amalgamation, and myself. It was an excellent meeting. Bottom line, DiCaita told us, was
that the SDH board was weak and did not stand up for what was rightfully theirs. Bingo! The truth! I mean what could he lose? He had already resigned and was leaving Aug. 8. Six years in coming, but today we have a strong and capable board. In alphabetical order – Conrad Noel, George Lung, Herb John, Kris Lee, Rex Isaacs, Sheldon Parsons. Thank you. Anne Stewart Wallaceburg
Losing crossing guards a bad idea Editor’s note: This letter is addressed to municipal council. Sir: In regards to the issue of replacing crosswalk monitors with automated light warnings, I am surprised at council’s decision to install lights and replace crossing
guards near schools. I do not think this is a good decision, as many people don’t notice the automated lights where they are now, and it may at some point lead to an accident waiting to happen.
It’s not so much a problem with the crossing guards as they seem to be more visible to vehicle drivers and pedestrians alike. Perhaps it is too late for council to revisit this situation at a future
meeting? It may seem to be cheaper to replace the crossing guards with automated light services, but will it really be that much safer? Frank Doyle Chatham

Organizers will pull 40 names of qualifiers to put their hands on the truck Sept. 16 and 17. The last person with a hand on the vehicle wins the lease for a year. In the process, participants raise funds for four local charities, Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Vincent de Paul, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the local branch of the Downs Syndrome Foundation. Event organizer Wendy Bloomfield said last year, the eighth Hands Off fundraiser for Chatham Chrysler, raised about $15,000 for the charities, with
the winner walking away with a lease of a Jeep Cherokee for a year. “We’re doing a Ram this year, so it should be the biggest ever,” she said. Anyone interested in taking part can fill out a ballot to enter at Chatham Chrysler, listen to the local radio stations starting in mid-August for a chance to call in to qualify, or visit our Facebook page from Aug. 15 to 26 and follow our directions on how to qualify. Dave Tessier, dealer principal for Chatham Chrysler, said he and dealership staff really enjoy putting on the event each year. “This is a great way of raising goods and funds for local charities,” he said. “It creates a lot of buzz. Everyone really gets involved. They put their heart and soul into it. It’s also great for staff morale here. Bloomfield agreed. “It’s fun.

The Chatham Voice is especially needed in the Chatham-Kent area. As the local news in some other local newspapers is in some cases being slowly diminished so that they looking more like a capsule of events; more like newspapers from outside of Chatham-Kent, just trying to sell newspapers. A truly good thing, The Voice. This publication gives a forum for differing local points of view, including the Letters To The Editor section. It is always good to present topics of interest not covered by other news media outlets in our area. Happy birthday to The Voice management and staff; may you have many more birthdays!

No water problems, turbine firm says
By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com
A firm slated to install up to 20 wind turbines north of Wallaceburg within the next few years says it has never had any problem with its developments effecting water quality. Adam Rosso, project development director for Boralex, a major stakeholder in the Otter Creek Wind Farm said his company has been made aware of the water turbidity issues in nearby Dover Township. Boralex, Renewable Energy Systems and the Walpole Island First Nation are developers of a 50-megawatt project including up to 19 turbines. Chatham-Kent has an option to become a minority partner as well. At a public meeting in Wallaceburg Tuesday Rosso said it is too early to tell if the company will use the same “piling” foundation technique as that being cited as the reason for poor water quality in Dover Township. “Possibly,” he said. “Piling allows a foundation to be more stable but we aren’t even close to an understanding of what the design might look like or where are turbines will be located.” He said his firm understands groups such as Water Wells
First are concerned about groundwater. “So are we – that’s why we want to engage with landowners to understand where people’s wells are so we’re aware of any potential problems,” he said. He said his firm built 45 turbines in the former Dover Township from 2007-2009 and has never had a complaint. The Wallaceburg meeting took place over a three-hour period and attracted approximately 100 people, however, some landowners were critical of the format. “This isn’t a meeting, it’s a bunch of signs scattered around a room,” said Al Kerkhoff, whose family owns some 1,000 acres in the Otter Creek target area. “There is no presentation, they can tell one person one thing and someone else another,” he said. “People remember that from last time they met. It’s slick presentations. The only way to find out what’s really going on is to sign up with them and then you’re forced into a confidentially agreement.” Larry Janssens, who farms in the area, said he’s doubtful the wind farms have the best interests of farmers at heart. “There are lots of people who are testing their water right now to get a base line measurement,” he said. “If

the turbines ruin the wells here, good luck trying to get money out of the wind farms without plenty of evidence and good lawyers. We have to look after ourselves because no one else will.” North Kent Councillor Leon Leclair said although he is in favour of the project, he wants to ensure ground water is protected. “People are scared and I understand that but we need to find out a lot more information,” he said. “We need an approach of citizens’ first, then turbines.” He said the idea that project management will try to avoid areas with wells makes him optimistic. “It’s a lot easier to avoid a problem in the first place then to have to come back later,” he said. “They appear to be looking at using a different technology.” Calvin Simmons, a member of Water Wells First, attended the meeting to call for involvement by the provincial Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. “We believe turbine installation may be responsible for water problems in Dover and they need to look into this in conjunction with the wind company,” he said. “An independent set of eyes is needed.”

Ar
By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com
Responsibilities at Chatham-Kent’s Economic Development Department are changing, according to a release issued by C-K CAO Don Shropshire. Effective Sept. 1, current Economic Development Director Michael Burton will assume the title of Director, Investment Attraction and Government Affairs for Economic Development. Shropshire said Burton, who has led the department for the past five years, will concentrate on the areas of government relations and foreign investment. Stuart McFadden, currently Deputy Director of Economic Development, will assume the role of Acting Director of Economic Development. Shropshire said the move is part of the “municipality’s commitment

Stuart McFadden
to succession planning, leadership development and talent acquisition.” Both positions will report directly to the Chief Administrative Officer. McFadden, a longtime local business owner, said he is excited about the opportunity. “We have a big task and I’m looking forward to it,” he said. Burton said the opportunity would allow him to concentrate on a number of key files that require more extensive work.

Politicians want water answers By Jim Blake jim@chathamvoice.com
In the four years since Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton first raised the issue of ground water quality and wind turbines, hundreds of the tri-bladed structures have been erected in southwestern Ontario. He’s still waiting for action and now a member of Chatham-Kent Council is echoing his concerns. Michael Bondy has issued a notice of motion requesting that council ask the province put a hold on the construction of any more wind turbines until questions of how the structures may affect groundwater are answered. “I don’t care if we’re a willing host or not, the municipality owes it to rural property owners to ensure their interests are being looked after in this regard,” Bondy said. Water Wells First, a Dover Township group aided by the Ontario Ground Water Association, has filed a notice of appeal of the agreement between the North Kent Wind 1 project and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to build up to 50 wind turbines. The group is concerned that as many as 20 wells may be contaminated with sediment
due to vibrations caused by the installation and operation of the units which can be more than 400 feet high. “We have projects in Dover and we have a project getting ready in Wallaceburg and I don’t think anything should proceed until we get some answers from an independent source before we proceed,” Bondy said. Council will deal with the is-
DRESDEN RACEWAY TRACK TIDBITS by Gary Patterson
HOT BUTTERED CORN ON THE COB… August first will be the last day of racing at Dresden Raceway and as a fan appreciation gesture all fans will be offered free hot buttered corn on the cob. 5,000 IN SIGHT…Mark Williams had two more winners at Dresden Raceway which brings his grand total of lifetime wins to 4,996. Williams is expected to hit the 5,000 win plateau within the next few weeks. FRESH BLOOD…11 horses raced at Dresden Raceway for the first time this year. BIG BUCKS…Good things come to those that wait as the biggest payout of the day was the 10th race as the 4-5-7 triactor paid $2,089.30. SPEED TRAP…The 10th race was also the fastest race of the day as ON GOLDEN PONDER paced the mile in 1:59.1 MAKE MINE A DOUBLE…Four drivers scored driving doubles as Brad Forward, Tyler Borth and Dennis Duford all joined Williams with two wins each on the day.

“Ontario’s Little Saratoga”
sue at its August meeting. In a recent press conference on the property of Dover farmer Laurier Cartier, Water Wells First led by Kevin Jakubec, said until the ministry investigates the sediment problem with up to 20 wells in the Dover Twp. area they believe is caused by vibration from the wind turbines, they will continue to object to the project. “We need to understand that
all water problems in Dover haven’t proven to be caused by the turbines but it’s just too important to proceed until we know,” Bondy said. “The part of the Act (Renewal Energy Act) that says landowners with water problems will be given bottled water is just insanity.” McNaughton, who attended a public input meeting for the proposed Otter Creek Wind
Farm project north of Wallaceburg, said the province continues to ignore the water quality issue. “We are in a situation where we are overproducing by 30 per cent the amount of energy we need,” he said. ‘’We have the most expensive energy in North America and the premier continues on this destructive and wasteful path.”
