CPP purchases turbine company By Mary Beth Corcoran mary@chathamvoice.com
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) announced recently its plan to buy Pattern Energy and Pattern Energy Development in a deal worth $6.1 billion. This just days after a representative from the provincial Ministry of the Attorney General had Environmental Protection Act charges withdrawn against Pattern Energy, two other wind farm companies, as well as the Minister and Ministry of the Environment. CPPIB is a professional investment management organization that invests the funds not needed by the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) to pay current benefits in the best interests of 20 million contributors and beneficiaries. According to a statement by CPPIB, in order to build diversified portfolios of assets, CPPIB invests in public equities, private equities,
real estate, infrastructure and fixed income instruments. Headquartered in Toronto, CPPIB is governed and managed independently of the Canada Pension Plan and at arm’s length from governments. As of June 30, the CPP fund totaled more than 400 billion. Locally, Pattern Energy is co-owner with Samsung Energy of the South and North Kent Wind Farm projects in Chatham-Kent. On Oct. 30, just a week before the CPPIB purchase announcement, the EPA charges against Pattern Energy, Samsung, Engie Canada, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Environment Minister Jeff Yurek were withdrawn by the Ontario Attorney General, before any testimony or evidence in the matter could be heard before the Provincial Offences Court.

Children enjoyed the annual Chatham Santa Claus Parade on Friday evening through the downtown core, either as spectators or as smiling and waving participants. Local businesses, groups and organizations creatively decorated vehicles and created floats for the procession.

Wilkie further stated that there was a belief there is too little likelihood for a conviction that the construction and operation of the wind farm projects contaminated the well water of former Dover Twp. resident Christine Burke. According to previous
reports, the area residents were stunned by the announcement to withdraw charges, and Burke and her lawyer, Eric Gillespie, intend to move forward to pursue other options, including further charges. Burke had compiled 2,000 pages of disclosure material and intended to present more evidence
as well as expert witness testimony, were the case allowed to proceed. The entire incident has left Burke and her supporters questioning the government’s motivation and now, with the CPPIB purchase of Pattern Energy, she and her family have even more questions.

News Of cider, craft beer and beards
By Bruce Corcoran bruce@chathamvoice.com
The annual CK Craft Beer Festival is set to return to Chatham this weekend. Flights and Flasks hits The Kent on William Street on Nov. 23. Michael Fry, owner of The Kent, said he’s expanded the scope of this year’s event. “We’re bringing in more out-of-town craft breweries,” he said. “Chatham-Kent wants to see more of their products.” Anderson Craft Ales, Bad Apple Brewing Co., Bayside Brewing Co., Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery, Frank Brewing Co, Railway City Brewing Co., Sodbuster Brewing Co., Sons of Kent Brewing Co., Waterloo Brewing, Walkerville Brewery, Growers Cider Co., and Thornbury Premium Apple Cider will all be on
hand. Fry said there will likely be close to two-dozen different products available to sample. He said patrons will be asked to vote on their favourite beers and the most popular will remain on the menu at The Kent for the rest of the year. As well, this year at Flights and Flasks, Fry said there will be representatives from each brewery on hand to provide details about the beverages available for sampling. “Everybody gets a chance to learn about what they’re drinking,” he said. Fry said he’s asked the breweries to bring different products to the event for sampling, “not what you have in your fridge. Everyone is stepping up.” A full 20 per cent of sales go to the Chatham Goodfellows, Fry said. Back this year is the

which is decided by audience participation. Fry said fans of craft brewing are a diverse lot, both male and female. In fact, he said there are several all-female clubs planning to attend on Saturday. But it’s the male element
that spawned the beard competition. “The culture of craft beer – it’s a lot of guys with big beards,” he said. “It really is almost part of the culture.” For tickets, visit https:// thekentchatham.com/ the-kent-presents/

Beer has evolved It didn’t seem like that long ago beer was a beverage of choice almost exclusively by men. There was a limited selection, and most of what was available in this province came from the mainstream breweries. Oh, how times have changed. And for the better. The craft brew industry is thriving in Ontario, and in Chatham-Kent particularly. Today, we have four craft breweries either in production or in preparation for production in Chatham-Kent. It all began with Bayside Brewing Co. in Erieau in 2013. Credit the folks there for putting C-K on the brewing map. Sons of Kent came into being in 2017, and the gentlemen behind this Chatham-based operation took their time to prep their premises on King Street and build anticipation. Red Barn Brewing Co. is in the process of building its site just outside Charing Cross, while Sod Buster Brewing Co. is producing small batches of their product near Dresden. It’s a diverse geographical footprint, producing a wide range of beverages. Gone are the days of a generic lager or ale. Ditto for typical stouts. While all are still available, craft brewing has expanded the flavour range, and in doing so, expanded the market for consumers of their beverages. Add wheat beer to the mix, high-hop IPAs, and other brews infused with everything from fruit to berries to pumpkin and spice. What we have today are selections that will appeal to most every palate. As a result, more and more women are enjoying a cold one these days than in the past. It’s been a growing market for beer for many years, actually, and the diversity of beverages has only added to the interest. Certainly, there are still holdouts who swear only by the beer their fathers drank – Old Vienna, O’Keefe, 50, Export, Black Label – but the beer times, they are a changing. And that’s for the better. Here we have a growing industry, one in which this municipality has multiple players. With the growth of the industry, we encourage residents to support local industry, but remind everyone to do so responsibly.

Opinion
Alternative electoral concept Sir: By now, most of the customary whiners about the “first-past-thepost” election process have surfaced, giving vent to their beliefs that their preferred group has somehow been cheated in the outcome of the October election. People, the problem is not the first-past-thepost process. None of the alternatives will provide a “fairer” solution. The problem is the party system. Because most people vote along
party lines, the door is wide open to strategic voting, gerrymandering, and like Alberta and Saskatchewan the will of the voters can result in zero representation in government. We need to trash the party system, and instead elect 338 independent members of parliament with no party affiliation whatever. From within that group, a chairperson (speaker?) can be elected and
whatever number of committees (cabinet?) needed can also be elected. Every MP would be accountable only to her or his constituents, every vote would be a “free” vote whereby MPs could vote their conscience and the will of their electorate, but not be told how to vote by a party whip. Gone would be the opportunity for corporations or unions to throw money at adver-
tising through election financing loopholes to then blackmail MPs into supporting their particular agenda. Until such time as MPs are accountable only to voters, and dictatorial party leaders are no longer able to single-handedly force their wishes on the country at large, no election system is going to give us true representative government. H. David Goldsmith Chatham
Driver woes a daily issue on our streets Sir: I’ve just re-read Bruce Corcoran’s recent column in The Chatham Voice, “It’s simple, folks; obey the law.” I do hope our law enforcers read it and patrol some if not all of the intersections Bruce mentioned. Laws and bylaws are being broken daily in this city alone. But the main inter-
section mentioned must be one of the worst: Grand Avenue and St. Clair Street. Not only for motorists, but for pedestrians also. Many times I have been crossing at those lights in my favor with the walk sign when a driver has turned when I have been halfway in the crossing.
To my knowledge one is supposed to stop until the crossing is free. This in the best one! One day I’m about six feet from the curb heading north to cross Grand Avenue when someone decided to make a right from St. Clair to head west on Grand. I wondered where he or she was
going, as they actually drove behind me before I hardly reached the north side. Another big no-no, I have seen e-bikes riding the sidewalks. There’s extra money to be made in fines. If there were more police patrol about. Ruth Draper Chatham

Christmas in Muskoka underway The Chatham Voice
Christmas in Muskoka returns to Chatham-Kent this week, but in a new home: the John D. Bradley Convention Centre. For the past eight years, the event has proven an excellent and popular fundraiser that supports 300 Grade 7 students, and 130 secondary school students in the St. Clair Cath-
olic District School Board, who will attend the Muskoka Woods Leadership Camp this May. To date nearly $670,000 has been raised by the event, more than 3,500 students have attended the leadership camp as a result, about 50,000 raffle tickets are sold each year for the 40 designer Christmas trees that go on display each year, and many
a partnership has been forged through the event. Further, it takes about 120 volunteers to put on the event, which is attended by 1,500 primary elementary school students via field trips each year. This year’s event runs through Saturday at the Bradley Centre. Key events this week include a Grade 7/8 dance on Thursday, a seniors’
tea on Friday, the Tepperman’s Community Evening on Friday night, where admission is free with a donated non-perishable food item, breakfast with Santa on Saturday, and a couple of private corporate Christmas parties on the Saturday. The draws for the trees take place Sunday morning.

Our Dad lived a very full life... Embracing the end at Hospice
Christmas gifts sought for kids The Chatham Voice
It’s collection time for Operation Christmas Child in Chatham-Kent. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. Volunteers collect shoebox gifts – filled with school supplies, hygiene items, and fun toys. Each box is a powerful expression of hope, joy and love. Since 1993 (when this endeavour was founded),
167 million shoebox gifts have been delivered to children in more than 160 countries. Shoeboxes for filling can be picked up at Gregory Drive Alliance Church, 255 Gregory Dr. W. Filled boxes can be dropped off at the church, or at the Community Church in Dresden or First Baptist Church in Wallaceburg. National Collection week is on until Nov. 24.
I could talk for hours about the incredible care and devotion our father received from the Hospice team – staff and volunteers. Respect was shown for not only our father, but for all our family. We felt welcome. We could come and go at any time, and were able to spend the night with Dad, if we wanted.
My family is so grateful to Chatham-Kent Hospice for the care they provided to my father, Donald Strong, as well as our entire family. Our father lived a very full life. He was born just after the Depression, served in the Navy and married our mother after his return. They had four children and were married for 44 years before my mom passed away. Dad was a strong supporter of his community. He had ambition and stamina that was nothing short of amazing, even after being declared legally blind some 20 years ago. He was a walking testimonial that God never gives us anything we cannot handle. Dad’s end-of-life journey began in 2017 when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The following year he had a heart valve replacement. During one of my visits with dad he said, “I am dying. I need to go to Hospice.” Later that very afternoon we were greeted at the front door of Chatham-Kent Hospice by staff, welcoming Dad to his very last five-star plus resort – ready to assist him (and our family) with this final journey of his 93-year life. Dad seemed very comfortable and at ease in the beautiful surroundings. “I am in the very best place I could ever wish for. I have no fear,” he said.
Never have we experienced such respect for life. Dad was a stickler for hygiene and was a very proud dresser. After his passing he was bathed and dressed, right down to his socks and shoes...as he would have wanted. We were given all the time we needed to say our good-byes and never felt rushed. I must admit that when the Hospice was being built, I had been asked to donate. Due to my ignorance at that time, I declined to donate. As I now know what an amazing place this is and what incredible people work and donate their time and effort, this is no longer the case. In witnessing first-hand the devotion that takes place in the Chatham-Kent Hospice, I wish to extend our heart-felt thanks on behalf of my family. I hope that through the generosity of our community, our Hospice will be there for all those at end of life and their loved ones for many, many years to come.

It’s a program for the future.”

But he was only getting started. In 1983, Carney joined the Scottish Rite in Chatham and earned his 32nd degree in 1984 (the highest honour) and is still a member of that order. Three years later, Carney joined Eastern Star with his wife Sheila and they became Worthy Patrons for 1990 to 1991; they are still members. Carney served the lodge in many ways. He rarely misses a meeting except when he is down south. He has served as one of the auditors for 15 years and is a keyholder for the lodge. During the last several years, Carney noticed that the Ladies Luncheon was becoming stale. There were fewer couples and widows coming out. He partnered with the late John Newman and found a new venue. Together they refreshed the format and the luncheon has been a roaring success ever since. Five years ago, Carney saw a need with the lodge’s White Gift Night and got involved by processing thousands of paper numbers which are put into envelopes and sold at the event. White Gift Night is the lodge’s biggest fundraiser and a popular family evening. The Chatham Masonic Temple consists of 13 separate orders. There are two blue lodges, Parthenon and Wellington Victory, seven York Rite orders, two Scottish Rite orders and one Shrine group as well as the Eastern Star. As you can imagine it is a lot of work to run the
Temple with so many diverse groups. Carney was elected to the Temple Board in 1995 by the brethren of Parthenon Lodge and has continued as a member of that board up to and including the present. He was voted secretary for a couple years and was then elected as secretary/treasurer when the treasurer dropped out. He maintained this position for 23 years and has served the last two years as secretary. Carney was a member of the board when the former lodge was sold and the new one purchased in the late 1990s. He was in negotiations with Bell Canada for the purchase of the current building, and along with Don Haden negotiated a reduction of $40,000 when it was discovered that the land was in fact smaller than had been represented. Carney ‘s life beyond Masonry was also busy. He was a member of the Canadian armed forces for six years and was stationed in Germany for three of those. In civilian life, Ed worked at Nestle Canada for 29 years. He was in the purchasing department for one year and then became the plant clerk for the remaining 28 years. He was also Union Representative for 25 of those years. In 1997 Nestle closed and Carney went to work for Heinz Canada for the next nine years in accounts payable. Carney is a member of two churches, First Presbyterian Church and St. Andrews United Church. He is also a member of the 100 Men Who Care. This is a group of philanthropists who meet quarterly, donate $100 each to the charity of the group’s choice.

“orchestral” Zeppelin as well as The Who Nov. 29 at the Chatham Capitol Theatre. He’s bringing a string section with him to add a different sound to some classic British rock music. “I took about two and a half years to write the charts for the orchestra for the Led Zeppelin show,” White said. “It’s reimagined songs for the strings. It takes it to another level,” he added. “It’s a rock show with an orchestral element.” White said the band often performs with local orchestras when they tour. “We did shows with the Vancouver Symphony and have played with lots of high school and local community orchestras too,” he said. “I love doing shows with young musicians who are enthusiastic. It’s gratifying to rock out with them.” Unfortunately, White said he was unable to connect with any of the local high schools for this show. This time around, White said the band will perform a set of The Who, followed by a set of Led Zeppelin. “For The Who set, there will be songs like ‘My Generation’ plus later hits like ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again.’ It’s all my favourite stuff,” he said.

Celebrating the pickle in C-K By Anthony Wilson Special to The Voice
Hey Chatham-Kent, did you know that Nov. 14 was National Pickle Day? It’s true, and it was time to celebrate our Chatham-Kent pickles. National Pickle Day recognizes the tart, spicy, sweet, and of course the crisp baby dill pickle, which is certainly my favourite. Each year on Nov. 14, pickle lovers pop open jars of their preferred preserved pickle. It may be dill, Gherkin, Cornichon, Brined, Kosher Dill, Polish, Hungarian, Lime, Bread and Butter, Swedish and Danish, or Kool-Aid Pickle. Whichever is your choice, eat them all day long. Heck, eat them all year long! One example of a local connection to National Pickle Day is TVF Farms and the Pickle Station, which has been growing for more than 50 years and handles 35 million pounds of cucumbers annually. “Our farming season started off a little rough this year due to the weather with an extremely late start, but in the end it was a record year for growing cucumbers and the yields were beyond expecta-
tion,” said Krystle VanRoboys, co-owner of TVF Farms said. “We sell both locally and to processors all over Eastern and Midwest USA. We invite everyone to crack open a jar of pickles today and share in the delicious crunch.” So, Pickle Day, you say. Where did this day come from? Well, this holiday has been celebrated for 70 years on various days. However, in 1949, the first recognition of Pickle Day began with encouragement from the Pickle Packers Association, and a chosen date of Nov. 14 as the celebration date. Now we know a little about Pickle Day, but I wanted to know a little more about pickles too. I learned that the term pickle comes from the Dutch word pekel, meaning brine. In Canada, the word pickle typically refers to a pickled cucumber. However, just about any fruit or vegetable can be pickled. If you have not tried pickled onions, please do and thank me later. Here are some pickle facts that I learned along the way: • Food vendors sometimes serve pickles on a stick at fairs or carnivals. They are known
as stick pickles and some of those pickled look as big as a baseball bat! • A rising trend in Canada is deep-fried pickles. The pickle is wrapped in dough or dipped in breading and deep-fried. I have not tried this one yet but have friends who swear by it. • The popularity of the pickle dates back thousands of years to 2030 BC. At that time, traders imported cucumbers from India to the Tigris Valley. Here the people first preserved and ate the cucumbers as pickles. • Cleopatra attributed her good looks to her diet of pickles. • Even Julius Caesar craved the benefits of pickles. He believed pickles lent physical and spiritual strength and gave them to his troops. • More and more bodybuilders are trying the post-workout pickle juice as the new “thing.” The electrolyte and water content of pickle juice make it
a good post-workout drink. The brine also has potassium, which helps support heart, nerve, and muscle function. Seems good enough for me. All in all, Chatham-Kent produces 25 per cent of all of the cucumbers produced in Ontario, another fact that tells you just how important our farmers in Chatham-Kent are.
So, whether you like them spicy, sour, garlicky, on a stick or on a burger, grab a local pickle and enjoy. Of course, make sure you thank a farmer by shopping locally. • Anthony Wilson is an economic development officer with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.

“As for Led Zeppelin, we do all the staples of the Led Zeppelin catalogue.” Over the years, White has performed with the likes of Alice Cooper, Keith Emerson, Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, Steve Morse of Deep Purple, Toto’s Steve Lukather, Rick Wakeman and Alan White of Yes, and George Lynch of Dokken to name a few. He’s played or recorded with some of the cream of Canadian rock talent as well, including the late Jeff Healey, Randy Bachman of The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and Rik Emmett of Triumph. White, reached at his Toronto home by The Voice, has been doing Zeppelin tribute shows since the late 1970s. He’s also long been a fan of The Who. “The Who was more like a heavy punk band with a lot of melodic explosions, whereas Led Zeppelin
was more heavy and bluesy,” he said. “The drummers of both bands were actually great friends.” Both Zeppelin’s John Bonham and The Who’s Keith Moon passed away decades ago due to substance abuse. White recalled meeting Moon on one occasion. “I was playing in a Hollywood club called the Starwood. We were on the bill with Canned Heat. We were in their dressing room after the show hanging out and in walks Keith Moon,” he said. “He just walked in and stood across the room from my drummer and myself. He was just a chatterbox.” White said early Who and Zeppelin music is what inspired him to first pick up a guitar. On top of the rock classics and orchestral elements, White said the audience will experience a “pretty mind-blowing” psychedelic liquid light show as well. For tickets, visit cktickets.com.

Signs your battery needs to be replaced Ever dealt with a dead car battery in the middle of winter? Not much fun, is it? Drivers are far better off ensuring that their battery is in good shape before the thermometer dips. But how can you tell if your battery needs to be replaced? Here’s what to look out for. INDICATORS OF AGE Car batteries typically last four to six years. One indication that yours is on its last legs is that the interior lights and/or headlights have gotten dimmer. Another good clue is that your vehicle doesn’t jump to life when you turn your key in the ignition: instead, your start up is slow, weak or inconsistent. If you’re experiencing these problems and your battery is old, it’s a good idea to get it checked by a licensed technician to see if it needs to be replaced. If your battery is still under four years old, it may just need to be recharged. LOW VOLTAGE Recharge your battery when the voltage is lower than 12.4 volts. You can check the voltage using a voltmeter or multimeter. If you have a car battery recharger, you can recharge the battery yourself. Otherwise, get a professional to do it. Provided this resolves the issue, your battery is likely still fine. However, should the problem return, check the voltage again. If the battery won’t hold a charge, it’s time to get it replaced. If the voltage is within range, it might be an issue with the alternator. PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR Note that a defective alternator has similar secondary effects as a weak battery. For this reason, it can sometimes be a good idea to consult a mechanic before replacing your battery. This way you’re sure to get a full and accurate diagnostic.
Five winter braking safety tips Due to the snow, ice and black ice that can accumulate on frosty roads, braking during winter is nothing less than an art: master it by following these five steps. 1. KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE When the road is snowy, slick or icy, your tires can’t grip as well and more time and distance is needed to stop. Always stay a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you when driving in such conditions. 2. DECREASE YOUR SPEED Drive at a speed that permits you to safely turn, change lanes, brake and react to hazards. 3. AVOID SUDDEN ACTIONS Suddenly accelerating, braking or turning in winter can cause your vehicle to skid. When you’re approaching a stop sign or a turn, brake early and gently. Only speed up gradually. 4. ADJUST YOUR BRAKING METHOD If you don’t have an anti-lock braking system, you’ll need to press more gently on the brake pedal when the road is slippery. If your wheels begin to lock, regain control by pumping your brakes (applying and releasing pressure on the pedal). Slamming your foot on the brake pedal will only ma ke matters worse. If you do have anti-lock brakes, simply keep your foot on the pedal until your vehicle has come to a stop, even if you feel vibrations. Only use the handbrake if necessary; this action can make matters worse by causing your car to spin. 5. LOOK AFTER YOUR BRAKES Get your brakes regularly inspected, maintained and — if need be — repaired by a mechanic.
DID YOU KNOW? It’s important to clear away the snow and ice in your vehicle’s wheel wells. A build up of ice that rubs against your tires can damage or even puncture them.

Rustproofing: the best way to protect your vehicle from corrosion Road salt and excessive moisture exacerbate corrosion — an oxidation process that degrades metal — making your vehicle particularly prone to rust damage over the winter. To counteract corrosion and extend your vehicle’s lifespan, look into getting professional rustproofing. Vehicle owners should consider investing in the treatment, for no car, new or used, is immune to corrosion. Rustproofing prevents or slows the oxidation of metals on un-rusted vehicles. And on vehicles that are already rusted, the treatment will stop the rust from spreading. Those planning to keep their vehicle for at least another four years should be especially proactive in getting it treated. The anti-rust oil and grease applied in rustproofing treatments provides additional benefits, including: • Forming a protective coat that prevents scratching and therefore preserves the appearance — and value! — of your vehicle. • Preventing the vehicle’s structure from weakening and breaking down. • Preventing rust from forming not just on the body of the car but also the undercarriage. Rust on the undercarriage can spread to vital components of your vehicle and potentially ruin them beyond repair. After rustproofing your vehicle, make sure to wash it regularly, especially in winter, to get rid of salt and calcium residue. And if you keep your car in a heated garage, be especially diligent because heat triggers corrosion.
DID YOU KNOW? During long trips, dimming the lights on your dashboard can help you stay alert by decreasing visual fatigue. Note also that fast driving can heighten fatigue, as drivers have to process a greater amount of information. Don’t be caught without a reliable vehicle this winter.

Regular oil tends to thicken in cold weather, which can cause your engine to run less efficiently and even prevent your vehicle from starting. Synthetic oil, on the other hand, retains its properties in cold temperatures, making it the better choice for your vehicle during winter.
