His little ditty about his joy of beating a parking ticket is a disgrace to the legal profession as well as those who believe in right and wrong and taking responsibility for one's actions. Doug Lewis is overjoyed that a city bylaw enforcement officer made an honest error. You see Sherlock as Doug has monikered this person typed in the wrong street, he found Lewis' car illegally parked on. Instead of writing Peter St. he mistakenly wrote Matchedash. Lewis in his glee admits he was guilty, but because of this innocent error he gloats of his victory over the man. </div> <div>      Now it is most disturbing or should be for everyone in Orillia to have a twice citizen of the year, lawyer, lawmaker and former Solicitor General of Canada acting this way. Doug Lewis with all his supposed legal and political experience takes great joy in beating an $8.00 parking ticket while admitting he is actually guilty. Not satisfied to just save the eight bucks he has to not just rub salt but literally whack  the officer with this written assault. </div> <div>      First Doug claims that this bylaw officer and I suppose all of them work under a quota. He shows his contempt for this upstart nobody for giving him a ticket while admitting his vehicle was in contravention and deserved to be ticketed. This from a man who was the political head of Canada's national police force the RCMP. Is it any wonder why during and since Lewis was in charge the RCMP has become the type of force we have now? Doug takes great joy in his little ditty about beating the man, because the man, is not overly bright for having made a mistake which he is capitalizing on. That is Doug Lewis who Orillia has felt deserved citizen of the year award not once but twice. I have always shook my head why but, this is Orillia????</div> <div>      This culture of entitlement then is no surprise, for Doug Lewis and those around him have always thought of themselves as being better than the rest of us. If one takes the time to look back at how the Lewis, Downey firm was formed it is not hard to see what types populate the offices at 77, Coldwater St. E. Back when Doug was plotting to get back into practice after his treasure hunting period, this culture of entitlement raised it's ugly head. For you see Big Doug in one way or another recruited one Doug Downey (Little Doug) from Lewis' old partners to join him down the street. Naturally this was not done in the open but instead Little Doug left either in the night or on a weekend and cleaned out his office and files moving them down the street to the surprise of those he left behind for he had failed to notify them until he was gone, the same people who were once  Big Doug's law partners/associates for years and supported his political ambitions had became expendable. But that was then and expediency has no loyalty for some.</div> <div>      Now to the interesting part about this culture. With the forming of this new firm it became clear why the union was so much sought. Turns out Little Doug had political ambitions. Under the tutelage of the Big Doug, Little Doug get's himself elected to city council. It looked like the two Doug's ambition went beyond municipal politics if all the talk about town was listened to. Yes Little Doug had ambitions for provincial politics which has been somewhat abandoned at least for now.</div> <div>       But on his way to the top Little Doug took to this culture of entitlement literally and decided to snub his nose at a city bylaw officer. You see in order for these types of people to reach their goals they need to be seen as movers and shakers. Upon a good look at them they really aren't but their ability to make people think of them as such they do fool people very well. Little Doug gets on the executive of the Kiwanis Club and becomes the chair of the advertising sign committee for their Silent Auction.</div> <div>      Without a thought for the very bylaw Little Doug helped write and voted for as councillor he has the auction signs distributed all over town in contravention to his very own bylaw. To make a long story short the bylaw officer pays a visit to Little Doug asking him to have the signs removed. Little Doug decides to snub his nose at this upstart and does nothing, leaving the signs up. For a second time the bylaw officer visits Little Doug only to have nothing done. On the officers third visit he presents a ticket to Little Doug for $75. Of course while Little Doug' is named as the served person is on the ticket it is actually against the Kiwanis Club. So what does Little Doug do? Remove the signs you say? Of course not. This culture of entitlement would not allow that. Little Doug calls an emergency council meeting and get's a unanimous vote to throw the ticket out and change the bylaw allowing the Kiwanis Club to be exempted from their very own bylaw. But not being satisfied with that Little Doug actually takes part in the council vote to throw out this ticket which actually has his name on it. </div> <div>      So folks this ditty from Big Doug is and has been the norm for this man and he has managed to get away with it. I would urge everyone to get down to the Free Parking Library on Gill and get the Stevie Cameron book titled On the Take about the Mulrooney years which Big Doug was part of. There is a chapter on Orillia in it that speaks for itself. </div> <div> Just click on the Previous Issues button above and read about this whole sign affair way back in 2002. You will see that Little Doug had no different attitude back then of entitlement than Big Doug has today. I wonder who taught who about this entitlement? If this wasn't so sad it would be real funny. Just one last thought. I wonder what ever happened to the bylaw officer who dared take on the Coldwater St. E. group? Maybe someone could let me know.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >      </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Dec. 15, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Bailing out Assange</B></div> <bR> <div> From: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>maillist@michaelmoore.com</U></FONT> To: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>toddtolnai@live.ca</U></FONT> </div> <div> Subject: Why I'm Posting Bail Money for Julian Assange (A Statement from Michael Moore) </div> <div> Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:19:32 -0500 </div> <div> Why I'm Posting Bail Money for Julian </div> <div> Assange (A statement from Michael Moore) </div> <div> Tuesday, December 14th, 2010</div> <div>  Friends, Yesterday, in the Westminster Magistrates Court in London, the lawyers for WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange presented to the judge a document from me stating that I have put up $20,000 of my own money to help bail Mr. Assange out of jail. Furthermore, I am publicly offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars. We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Hundreds of thousands are now dead. </div> <div> Just imagine if the men who planned this war crime back in 2002 had had a WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not have been able to pull it off. The only reason they thought they could get away with it was because they had a guaranteed cloak of secrecy. That guarantee has now been ripped from them, and I hope they are never able to operate in secret again. So why is WikiLeaks, after performing such an important public service, under such vicious attack? Because they have outed and embarrassed those who have covered up the truth. The assault on them has been over the top: **Sen. Joe Lieberman says WikiLeaks "has violated the Espionage Act." **The New Yorker's George Packer calls Assange "super-secretive, thin-skinned, [and] megalomaniacal." **Sarah Palin claims he's "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" whom we should pursue "with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders." **Democrat Bob Beckel (Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign manager) said about Assange on Fox: "A dead man can't leak stuff ... there's only one way to do it: illegally shoot the son of a bitch." **Republican Mary Matalin says "he's a psychopath, a sociopath ... He's a terrorist." **Rep. Peter A. King calls WikiLeaks a "terrorist organization." </div> <div> And indeed they are! They exist to terrorize the liars and warmongers who have brought ruin to our nation and to others. Perhaps the next war won't be so easy because the tables have been turned -- and now it's Big Brother who's being watched ... by us! WikiLeaks deserves our thanks for shining a huge spotlight on all this. But some in the corporate-owned press have dismissed the importance of WikiLeaks ("they've released little that's new!") or have painted them as simple anarchists ("WikiLeaks just releases everything without any editorial control!"). WikiLeaks exists, in part, because the mainstream media has failed to live up to its responsibility. The corporate owners have decimated newsrooms, making it impossible for good journalists to do their job. There's no time or money anymore for investigative journalism. Simply put, investors don't want those stories exposed. They like their secrets kept ... as secrets. I ask you to imagine how much different our world would be if WikiLeaks had existed 10 years ago. Take a look at this photo. That's Mr. Bush about to be handed a "secret" document on August 6th, 2001. Its heading read: "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US." And on those pages it said the FBI had discovered "patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings." Mr. Bush decided to ignore it and went fishing for the next four weeks. But if that document had been leaked, how would you or I have reacted? What would Congress or the FAA have done? </div> <div> Was there not a greater chance that someone, somewhere would have done something if all of us knew about bin Laden's impending attack using hijacked planes? But back then only a few people had access to that document. Because the secret was kept, a flight school instructor in San Diego who noticed that two Saudi students took no interest in takeoffs or landings, did nothing. Had he read about the bin Laden threat in the paper, might he have called the FBI? (Please read this essay by former FBI Agent Coleen Rowley, Time's 2002 co-Person of the Year, about her belief that had WikiLeaks been around in 2001, 9/11 might have been prevented.) Or what if the public in 2003 had been able to read "secret" memos from Dick Cheney as he pressured the CIA to give him the "facts" he wanted in order to build his false case for war? If a WikiLeaks had revealed at that time that there were, in fact, no weapons of mass destruction, do you think that the war would have been launched -- or rather, wouldn't there have been calls for Cheney's arrest? Openness, transparency -- these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect itself from the powerful and the corrupt. What if within days of August 4th, 1964 -- after the Pentagon had made up the lie that our ship was attacked by the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin -- there had been a WikiLeaks to tell the American people that the whole thing was made up? I guess 58,000 of our soldiers (and 2 million Vietnamese) might be alive today. Instead, secrets killed them. </div> <div> For those of you who think it's wrong to support Julian Assange because of the sexual assault allegations he's being held for, all I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please -- never, ever believe the "official story." And regardless of Assange's guilt or innocence (see the strange nature of the allegations here), this man has the right to have bail posted and to defend himself. I have joined with filmmakers Ken Loach and John Pilger and writer Jemima Khan in putting up the bail money -- and we hope the judge will accept this and grant his release today. Might WikiLeaks cause some unintended harm to diplomatic negotiations and U.S. interests around the world? Perhaps. But that's the price you pay when you and your government take us into a war based on a lie. Your punishment for misbehaving is that someone has to turn on all the lights in the room so that we can see what you're up to. You simply can't be trusted. So every cable, every email you write is now fair game. Sorry, but you brought this upon yourself. No one can hide from the truth now. No one can plot the next Big Lie if they know that they might be exposed. And that is the best thing that WikiLeaks has done. </div> <div> WikiLeaks, God bless them, will save lives as a result of their actions. And any of you who join me in supporting them are committing a true act of patriotism. Period. I stand today in absentia with Julian Assange in London and I ask the judge to grant him his release. I am willing to guarantee his return to court with the bail money I have wired to said court. I will not allow this injustice to continue unchallenged. </div> <div> Yours, </div> <div> Michael Moore </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Dec. 14, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Talk is not Cheap</B></div> <div> As Kelly writes, Simcoe County and the school board have committed to to recycling in schools but only in words and not action. With $850,000 committed and judging by the photo results their talk does not come cheap. It is outrageous that after the years of fighting to stop dumping culminating with the end to Site 41 there is still no committment to reducing, reusing and recycling by those in power. They should be ashamed of themselves. An accounting of this $850,000 is demanded. Here is Kelly's letter to Warden Patterson and newly elected chair of the Simcoe County Boared of Education along with photo evidence. </div> <bR> <div> 325 Peter St. N.

The County and School Boards are to be commended for taking steps to improve waste reduction. Unfortunately, the attached photos are an all too familiar sight in Simcoe County school yards. The recent photos, of alocal schoolgarbage bin overloadedwith materials thatcould have been diverted from disposal, is not a positive image for this publicly funded initiative. In Orillia, and most of the County, residents sort paper products into one box and containers into another. This makes sorting easy, it helps to improve the quality of recyclables and, of course, it reduces the volume of waste going to landfill. Most residents also compost in their backyard or use the curb-side Green Bin program to divert compost from landfill. And more and more residents are refusing over-packaged and poorly made products, at the source of purchase, to reduce waste. Educators know that modeling is effectively used to influence behaviour. School waste bins, overflowing with recyclable and compostable material, does not model the desired goal. A few simple steps could quickly improve the situation and ensure that resources and tax dollars are not wasted: - provide education to students and staff (including cleaning staff) about the program and theserious financial and environmental aspects of waste; - develop a mandatory diversion policy with a user friendly program for recyclables and compost to ensure that materials are sorted into appropriate containers/bins; - lock outdoor bins to avoid inappropriate dumping. I would be interested in hearing more about how the $850,000 has been allocated, what steps have been taken so far, and what further plans are in place to achieve the goals of this program.

The people are asking me what I think of it all and why haven't I written about it? To be honest, there is so much to write about, what with the MURF heating up again that I just have had no time until today. As I watched Monday's presentation to council and studied the graphics it wasn't hard to see what is really driving Angelo to what some say is generosity???? When this idea was proposed a few weeks ago I did take a drive out to Murphy Rd. and Uhtoff Line.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="761cb580.jpg" border=0 width="459" height="344" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="763cb580.jpg" border=0 width="459" height="344" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> What concerns me about this outside of the fact of Orillia really not needing it is the way it has been announced. You see Angelo says he wants to use 80 acres of land and build in stages. I ask my self why even bring up 80 acres when there is 40 acres usable to begin with??? You see half the site is a beautiful wetland and environmentally protected. Although Angelo tells us about this, the spin of 80 acres is already in peoples' minds. Make the project 80 acres and Angelo gets paid for 80 acres? The protected land has no commercial value unless some country hick is talked into buying it.  For that reason alone we need to be very careful as to what the city agrees to. Do we really want another Molson type deal????</div> <div>      Don Evans asked the question of what economic advantage is this deal for Mark Rich Homes. Angelo sluffed off answering in any meaningful way. But later on some of the truth came out in dribs and drabs. You see Angelo has been working to have city services extended into Severn Township for a number of years so that he could build more dense housing around Hawk Ridge. Fair enough as long as the people of Orillia want to subsidize Severn Townships tax revenue. You see if services are extended then every house/condo sold on this property brings nothing to the coffers of Orillia and in fact will stifle growth within the city. But, we will be committed to service the area in perpetuity and even if we run out of services for the city proper we will not be able to cut them off once extended. Sort of like the Free Trade agreement with the US and Mexico.  Any necessary future upgrades to sewer and water will be borne by Orillians, so watch your wallets, me thinks there is a Molson land deal in the works here.</div> <div>      Four or maybe even more years ago I put forth a plan for outdoors recreation facilities that would cost the city a fraction of what I am sure Angelo's deal would be. You see there is 52 acres of land within the city boundaries that would make an ideal Soccer, Baseball etc. park. This 52 acres is already owned by the city and would showcase Orillia to over 1 million cars per year that pass the site as a progressive community. Where is this land? Why it is located right in Westridge and within walking distance of the proposed Lakehead University site. It has arterial road access, water and power right there. It is level and for very little money  the city could easily build as many if not more soccer fields and at a fraction of the cost that I am sure Angelo would charge for his project, and it would be owned and controlled by us. </div> <div>      You see this 52 acres can never be built on because the area has been set aside for that 100 year storm to hold and release slowly the huge amounts of water that is expected. Today it is nothing more than a place for weeds and the only time it was flooded was when beavers dammed up the culvert that runs under Highway 11. What better place to put outdoor facilities than right there. Mom and dad can drop off the kids and do their shopping or enjoy a meal and never leave the area. No need to build an arterial road at who knows ????how much cost as in Angelo's plans because we already have one. And if we get that hundred year storm it certainly can't do much damage to a grass field now can it???? Might be out of commission for a while but even the floods in Noah's time receded didn't they. Besides who would want to play soccer in such a storm anyway??? And Angelo's field of dreams just might be under water if the same storm hits his property as his land is low lying  as well????  Have a look at the pictures I took of the 52 acres already city owned below and compare it to the pictures above of Angelo's land.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="76533e60.jpg" border=0 width="307" height="230" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="7675f070.jpg" border=0 width="351" height="263" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="7695f070.jpg" border=0 width="351" height="263" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>      I have to say that the single biggest problem with this town is that there are no dreamers for the public good.

After watching the presentation to council by the President of New Path what he said simply made no sense. He requested that the city advance a loan $500,000 which was supposed to be for the cost of removing 3 ft. of contaminated fill on the two acre property .</div> <div>      Now I began to wonder how anyone can dispose of over 12,000 cubic yards of soil for a mere half million dollars. In order to properly dispose such material , tippage and trucking cost will run into $190 per yard. The cost therefore comes to $2,280,000. Yet New Path's president was adamant that he could get it done for the half million.</div> <div>      The Packet came out with both barrels blazing claiming this was a wonderful deal because charities would be able to save money on rent. But what didn't make sense is that New Path's Barrie projects not only charges market rents but actually many charities' actually pay above market rent.</div> <div>      Anyway, non of what was being said made sense in the least. You can read below my comments from last year. So I was not surprised when last week I was informed by members of he Champlain Seniors about New Path's presentation to them. It seems that Lori Herd and a chap who identified his job title as a facilitator presented this project in the hopes of getting financial support from the group.</div> <div>      In giving their presentation the facilitator presented some financial details to members. Two members for sure but most likely others, after looking at this information became very concerned. One asked how this financing could be legitimate? He also asked, based on his reading of this document how the project could be sanctioned by Revenue Canada. He asked does Revenue Candia not have issue with this Voodoo accounting? The facilitator admitted that New Path was having issues with Revenue Canada and that New Path was trying to work things out. Not a very good sign that this project is on the up and up. </div> <div>      While I had checked up on their Barrie project and have huge concerns on their claim that charities' overheads would go down it is impossible that the Orillia project could do anything but put their costs up. You see New Path wants the larger charities who partake to actually invest in the project but calling it by another name. They want a cash up front payment of $75,000 each in anticipation of a return of what amounts to profit once the mortgage is paid off. But charities or non profits are forbidden to invest for profit under tax law. That is why the Champlain Seniors  were and are so concerned. </div> <div>      Folks it's way too complicated and like many schemes which eventually get busted this one has a very high chance. Now I was bothered by New Path's presentation to council and am bothered even more by this voodoo accounting. Wracked my brain and then I had it. You see about 5 years ago New Path had asked council (2005) to forgive taxes they owed from 2000/2001. You see New Path bought their building on West St. and received a tax exemption from the city based on their non profit status. Lo and behold Bob Ripley was approached by a New Path employee who informed the city that New Path was actually renting out the premises for profit. Once informed the treasurer immediately issued a tax bill for the previous six months. New Path completely ignored the bill although because they were busted did start paying taxes going forward but refused to pay for the first six months.</div> <div>      Not only did they ignore that year but ignored requests for the next three years. But at year three a Tax Sale action was taken against the property. Finally New Path made contact with the city but still was not prepared to pay off the bill which was at about $12,000. In fact they told Ripley they would seek council support in forgiving this debt. But as Ripley said he heard nothing more for another year and that was the reason for his report because New Path finally sent in a request to council. </div> <div>      I went into my collection of council video's and there it was on the tape from 05/06. I have uploaded to <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbWmkYp7rL4" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbWmkYp7r"><U>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbWmkYp7rL4</U></A>  for those interested. So after the report and some councillorss asking what I thought good questions and being informed of New Paths dishonesty of being a for profit landlord while accepting tax exemption as a non profit ,council forgave the  $13,000 tax arrears. </div> <div>  Fast forward to 2009 and the same councillors Cipolla, Spears, Gardy, Lauer and Stevens, who forgave this tax turned around and voted to lend this outfit a half million dollars with almost no discussion. Surely Lauer, Cipolla, Spears, Gardy and the mayor would not have forgotten the dishonesty on the city would they? I guess they must have. </div> <div>      So watch the video and you make up your mind whether this outfit deserved to be given your tax dollars for their dishonesty and also keep the for profit rent which I am confident not feral or provincial tax would have been paid on? You decide if current council should have so easily committed (loaned) $500,000 of your tax dollars to an outfit who tried to defraud the city of taxes? Leaves me to scratch my head why these councillors and mayor would put at risk your tax dollars?</div> <div>      Anyway read the story below and watch the video. Think about how big the book thrown at you would be if you tried to pull the same stunt. Think about how it makes no sense handing over $500,000 of your money to people who were caught red handed defrauding the city coffers. And ask why the previous council after having the evidence from Ripley about the tax matter would just write off the $13,000 while raising your taxes?</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></FONT></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Oct. 12, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Trouble's Down On Front St.</B></div> <div>   Since the announcement of the purchase of 165 Front St. by the non profit New Path group I have been Speaking Out. My purpose was to warn this organization as well as all levels of government to do their due diligence before they give them good money for a bad project. Naturally once again I was labeled as being anti everything. Not so but that is how these people react to any advice or warning.</div> <div>      So yesterday I was not surprised to see a drill rig working on the property on Thanksgiving Monday. This project was supposed to be up and running by now and I warned back last Oct. that this project was being managed by a ship of fools. I warned that they could not clean three feet of contamination off of 2 acres of land for $500,000 but they went ahead anyway. I warned that with 12,500 cubic yards of contamination to be disposed of the cost would be in the two plus million dollar range. I also warned them to test the property properly.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="75d09870.jpg" border=0 width="521" height="391" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="75ff87a0.jpg" border=0 width="504" height="378" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> I tried to get them to do a proper investigation of the site before they commit millions of public money with nothing to show for it. It looks like the poop has Hit the fan with the drill rig showing up. Last Spring I posted a story with pictures right here showing how instead of 3 feet these guys were going down 15 to 20 feet deep in some large areas. What they were digging didn't look right and for sure didn't smell right. The smell  I found to be very much like that was at the West St. site. You see when the test holes were dug there for potential company's who were interested in tendering for the big dig it too had a sour chemical smell as well.  Now that was West St. and people said you don't understand because we know what is going on and you don't. But the next day two workers were wearing masks.</div> <div> Anyway here are a couple of pictures from yesterday at Front St. Hard to believe that this operation had to be carried out on a holiday Monday at a cost of say double? What is the hurry guys? Why of a sudden it is panic city to get some cores for testing. Who ordered them and why? The public and especially neighboring property owners deserve to know. Remember one must never disturb a contaminated site by digging before it has been thoroughly tested and a plan to stop migration is in place. This town is like a bad dream that just keeps coming night after night. I have reposted March's along with last years warnings below for those who missed or don't remember. Here is what I wrote then and Oct. 2009.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Mar. 16, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Under One Roof Clean Up Hits Reality?</B></div> <div>      As I predicted last October the Under One Roof Project at 165 Front St. has hit a very expensive environmental snag. The pretend cleanup of the property started last week? I watched earth moving equipment scrape dirt off down to about three feet and scratched my head. This was done on the back north east corner which abuts Dorr Oliver and Queen St. The dirt which looks suspiciously like the dirt from the MURF site which was trucked to the shores of Lake Simcoe. We found out later that because of dishonest testing that dirt was highly toxic. This stuff looks much the same. </div> <div>      Anyway, they scraped and made a very large pile and then trucked in clean fill to fill the hole. In watching what they were doing  it was making no sense. You see they then loaded trucks and moved the contaminated dirt to the south side of the property and then leveled it as if they were going to use it as fill. Imagine moving contaminated soil to the other side of the property only to spread it? Say that is exactly what happened at 95 Barrie Rd. Remember when council allowed the property to be divided after the contaminated soil was moved to the eastern half for storage. Then the lot was divided and was allowed to be built. on without actually getting rid of the contamination. So naturally I thought these guys were going to do the same here. So that is why they claimed they could clean the site for a mere $500,000. They weren't going to clean it at all.</div> <div>      Well something happened because yesterday they started digging not 3 feet but down at least 6 maybe even 8 feet on the area directly behind the building. Obviously they hit the hotspot which I had reported several years ago. Some of you may remember me repeating a story I had heard from several people that one day some black material just started to ooz up out of the ground on this property. This was when Home Hardware was still located there. Clean fill was brought in and the oozing was covered over. </div> <div>      Yesterday they must have dug into the mother load and had to go deeper to try and remove it? Today there is another huge pile of contaminated dirt from this massive deep hole. Clean fill was trucked in and by this afternoon the hole was being filled. Their problem now is this contaminated dirt will have to be trucked which will cost over a million dollars if it is disposed properly. But the problem doesn't end there. This afternoon the dirt they trucked to the south side of the property and leveled was being removed. Yup! they were digging it up and starting another huge pile. But they weren't just digging out what was put there, they were actually going down about 8 feet deep as well. Looks like that not only  three feet needs to be removed but possibly down to 8 feet. Wow! I predicted last October that their $500,000 cost estimate for cleaning up soil to only a depth of three feet and trucking away was a pipe dream. Here is what I wrote back then. Are the words "I told you so appropriate once again"?????</div> <bR> <div> <B>Oct. 05, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Can Council and this Mayor not Think????</B></div> <div>      Newpath has asked the city for a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT> loan to remediate 2 1/2 acres of land at the old Home Hardware store. They want to buy this property for the Under 1 Roof project which would be built to house many of the cities' social agencies. People from Newpath went before council tonight and quite frankly I am having trouble believing them. First they claim that there is 36" of dirt which is contaminated on the 2 1/2 acre site that must be dug and dumped. Council as I write this has voted in a recorded vote to actually do this deal???</div> <div>      It is obvious that the majority of councillors who actually voted for this don't know how big 2 1/2 acres is. Once again council has not even bothered to do a simple calculation to see if what these guys were telling them could be the truth. One acre is 4840 square yards. If as these guys said 36" has to be removed that makes 4840 cubic yards times <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>2.5</B></FONT> acres which equals <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>12,100</B></FONT> cubic yards of contaminated material. This material will have to be trucked to the nearest site (many miles away) licensed to receive contaminated material. At even the most optimistic thinking trucking and tippage would be a minimum <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$175</B></FONT> per cubic yard. Ah!! Duh!!!! that is a cost of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$2,117,500</B></FONT>. Here is the President of Newpath telling these guys that they can do it for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT> which is the amount they asked for from the city. Unless the plan is to truck this dirt down to the dump on Lake Simcoe and pile it on top of the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>40,000</B></FONT> tons of contaminated soil they already dumped there. In that case the cost would still be in the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>million and a half range</B></FONT> which is still three times more than what is claimed to cost. Remember folks the cost to the city for disposing the 40,000 tons from the MURF site just for tippage fees was over <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$5,000,000</B></FONT>. So how can these guys do <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>12,000</B></FONT> tons for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT>?????</div> <div>      When the question was asked of their expert about the MOE having seen this site or if even he had met with the MOE the answer was negative. Yet with the lead of Fecht 5 councillors and the mayor they voted to hand over <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000 </B></FONT>of our hard earned tax dollars. Not only that, but they have left it up to the discretion of Half Million Dollar Bob Ripley. I know it's Bob's specialty to dally with half million dollars but sorry folks this vote was a huge mistake. Once again these guys prove that they simply can't add, subtract, multiply or think. Newpath's presentation was lousy at best and so full of holes that Swiss Cheese comes to mind. They had no numbers, they had no information, they simply have conned the councillors and mayor who voted for this???? Once again these guys have proven that they are unable to do their due diligence to protect the public purse. I can't believe they are this stupid, which only leaves one to suspect that there are other things in play here??????? Once again we need to follow the money.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div>      Now it looks like instead of 12,000 cubic yards of soil as they claimed, it could conceivably be double or maybe even triple the amount. If their plan was to simply try to divide this property and just store the toxic dirt it has surely failed. Even this council and mayor wouldn't dare to allow that would they? Needless to say they hit something in the dirt that changed the plan. If the amount of dirt to dispose of is doubled, costs could be over $4,000,000. Wow! Bruce Stanton and the Conservative Government has given New Path $2,000,000 plus for this project. If the bill for cleanup comes in at $2,117,500 as I predicted there will be no money to renovate the building. You see New Path has no money of their own. They told council that they had $500,000 in investments as collateral against the loan but when you look at their Revenue Canada Return that statement is not true.  Long term investment shows only $276,000. I warned council about this but they simply ignored it and went ahead with the loan anyway. <A HREF="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/t3010form21sched6-eng.action?b=892507161RR0001&e=2009-03-31&n=NEW+PATH+FOUNDATION&r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%3A80%2Febci%2Fhaip%2Fsrch%2Ft3010form21-eng.action%3Fb%3D892507161RR0001%26amp%3Be%3D2009-03-31%26amp%3Bn%3DNEW%2BPATH%2BFOUNDATION%26amp%3Br%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%253A80%252Febci%252Fhaip%252Fsrch%252Fbasicsearchresult-eng.action%253Fs%253D%252B%2526amp%253Bk%253Dnew%252Bpath%2526amp%253Bp%253D1%2526amp%253Bb%253Dtrue" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/"><U>Revenue Canada Return</U></A></div> <div>      So why am I worried? It's because these people digging so deep  they will be squeezing the toxins off site. There are houses and people living in them on Poughkeepsie St. to the south of this property. The last thing you want to do is disturb a contaminated site before you know just what is there. The activity can do more harm and really create a bigger problem that is far more complex and costly. They are now finding that out. What bothers me is there has been no lesson learned from the MURF. Remember that a short 16 months after the dig and dump at the MURF site Trichloroethylene the pure chemical found on the site showed up in our water supply from the lake. This activity could very easily push even more towards the lake and under larger areas of the South Ward. I told them it was a bad idea for the MURF site and I told them it is a bad idea for this site. Unfortunately they just don't listen.</div> <div>      But as with the MURF the Packet, instead of doing their due diligence came out supporting this ill conceived project. In an editorial by Teviah Moro they picked a side which looks like it has turned into the wrong one for the public's interest. Here is what I wrote about Teviah's editorial back last Oct.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Oct. 07, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Arrogance of Power Breeds Scams</B></div> <div>      Looks like the Packet has slipped back into it's old mold of mis-representing and or with holding simple facts from their readers. Yesterday Teviah Moro's editorial  piece " Orillia Common Roof is for everyone's benefit " is so misleading that it is up there with what the Packet did during the MURF fight. Teviah fails miserably to ask any questions about how a property with such high costs could actually save any money for participating agency's.</div> <div>      He writes "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>A community-based project such as the Orillia Common Roof will ofter stimulus to future development, a catalyst for expanded recreational and therapeutic activities and economic growth for our area</B></FONT>." What the hell does this mean??? What has office space got to do with expanded recreational and therapeutic activities???? Teviah and the Packet should be ashamed of themselves for so willingly being a part of this gross mis-representation at the expense of taxpayers money. The Packet <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>bullsh*t</B></FONT> runs fast and runs deep.</div> <div>      Teviah goes on to tell us that "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>If things go as planned, it's hard to imagine how this non-profit venture won't pay off in spades for Orillia</B></FONT>". Say! didn't the Packet say the same thing about the MURF??? Why I do believe they predicted way back that the MURF was a win, win. They claimed back then and that the MURF would be built for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$24,000,000</B></FONT> and that council and mayor knew what they were doing and should be <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>trusted</B></FONT>. At the same time they ridiculed those of us who <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Spoke Out</B></FONT> and predicted each and every disaster that would happen. Now the Packet has once again been leashed and barks when they are told to. </div> <div>      What really <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>pisses</B></FONT> me off is that Teviah writes this crap at all. "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>New Path and its partners are willing to invest in a derelict site and turn it into a vibrant social-service hub, breathing life into a moribund end of town</B></FONT>". First off this area of town is not moribund. In fact, if Teviah would go down and have a look at what a beautiful job the Bun Center did on their building it is anything but. If Teviah would take the time to have a look at the building on 165 Front St. he would see that it is not "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>derelict</B></FONT>". But it is empty. Like with the MURF, like with the library and many other counter productive schemes and scams this mayor and his councils have concocted, Orillia's Packet being the good little lap dog it is, they simply follow their orders.</div> <div>      Then Mr. Moro takes a lump of the crap he spews and attempts to spread it on thick. "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Under this common roof, these non-profits, which depend on donors and grants to stay afloat, find relief with more affordable rent. They can also share resources</B></FONT>". Unbelievable that he has the nerve to write this. Why even the President of Newpath said Monday night that there would be no savings on square footage rent and had no idea of what the actual rent would be as yet. What nerve Teviah has in promoting what is clearly a lie. These non profits who clearly depend on donors and of course grants which is just another fancy word for taxpayers money will not save money on rent. How can they, when the cost of this project is so  expensive????? </div> <div>      Not one word in this editorial does Teviah show that he has done his due diligence on this project. Not a word about the clean up cost or total cost of the project. Once again the Packet has shown it's loyalty to it's own bottom line and be damned with the people. Sorry folks but this is a suckers deal with us being the suckers. Iit all has to do with you and I being taken to the cleaners and lining others pockets with public funds. Whether our donations are diverted or our tax dollars diverted through grants it is still our money and more of it will be needed to fill the pockets of Newpath Executives. Nice work if you can get it?????</div> <div>      I would like to know how much salary the President of Newpath takes and how much in expenses he puts through the books every year along with the entire management. Let us see those numbers and then we can make up our minds as to whether it is truly a Non Profit  as claimed. Hell it's easy to not show a profit and then claim to be one????? Teviah might want to do some more homework before he climbs on board so willingly to this deal which makes no sense at all. </div> <div>      I'm having a problem figuring out how a landlord who is charging $12.00 per square foot for space is actually Non Profit???? Good office space around town commands about $12.00 or less with a profit component. So to pretend that money will be saved is simply not true. In fact Cipolla said he heard that in Barrie some of Newpath tenants were paying $18.00 and Mr. Newby spoke of $12.00. This does not make sense to have public money being loaned into what is actually a commercial venture?????</div> <div>      There is also no way that over 12,000 cubic yds. of contaminated soil can be disposed of for $500,000. Tippage alone is in the $1,500,000 range. Just the cost of the replacement soil at $300 per 16 yard truckload (750 loads) comes in at $225,000. Does anyone believe that you can dispose 12,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil for $275,000????? This deal does not add up to any savings, so mark my words these agencies will be paying a very high price for their rent if they sign a lease, which is actually our collective rent anyway. I hope they have done their homework??? Lie to me once and I believe you it is your fault. Lie to me twice and I believe you then it is mine. Throughout Newpath's presentation as I said before there were so many holes that it reminded me of Swiss Cheese.</div> <div>      Joe Fecht says "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Why should the city do this? There's a simple reason, because we can," said Coun. Joe Fecht in support of the loan. "It will kickstart a new initiative for the non-profit sector</B></FONT>." Unfortunately public monies must be used for the good of the community not just because we can. Clear example of arrogance of power. With renovations to the building and the cleanup this will be the most expensive real estate in Orillia after the MURF. Just do your numbers folks. They do not add up to what is claimed regardless of what Fecht says. This City can not afford to do this nor should they do it without showing us the results of their investigation that justifies the putting of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT> of taxpayers money at risk. Bet they didn't do any investigation or any due diligence???? The truth as to why Joe Fecht and others supported this loan is simpler than Joe's answer. It is simply to accommodate the current owners to be able to unload this contaminated property.  Like the purchase of the Molson property was conceived and executed for the benefit of Molson so too is this deal. Follow the  money folks and do your due diligence. It's obvious this mayor and council don't, or do they??????? Just a quick note about what Fecht said during the debate Monday night????? He told us that he had had a relationship with Newpath when he worked for the Ontario government. Say! didn't Ralph Cipolla also have a relationship with some of the Molson people and in fact brought Molson and the city together??????? Wonder if Joe did the same with Newpath?????? Hmmmmm! There will be more coming so please come back tomorrow. </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div>      Teviah wrote in his editorial "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>If things go as planned, it's hard to imagine how this non-profit venture won't pay off in spades for Orillia</B></FONT>".  Well Teviah and all you people down at the Packet and City Hall it looks like this project has been Euchred. What a shame. There was only one reason why this project was hurried and not done right. It was because as usual they thought it could be gotten away with and pockets would be lined. They were running a deadline for the federal money which had to go into shovel ready projects. They couldn't waste time actually investigating what was really there and then having the project shutdown because it would be known what was actually involved. So they took a chance and it looks like the taxpayers will be losing once again. Only in Orillia.

What I found appalled me so much that I followed it up by investigating two other local so called charities. Yesterday's story in the Packet about a man who was refused food for his child who stays with him on weekends <A HREF="http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2768816" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisp"><U>http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2768816</U></A>  got my blood boiling once again. This is simply outrageous and unacceptable behaviour by the Sharing Place and it's highly paid Executive Director. </div> <div>      I am sure it was not easy for this man to Speak Out about how unfair his child is being treated. What does it matter whether a child lives with him two days or seven days? The child needs to eat 7 days a week. While Don Evans is paid many tens of thousands ($55,000 plus expenses) out of charitable receipts every year, it turns out that he doesn't even have to go to work because he runs the place from a home office. Most likely deducting expenses from his income tax or is that part of the  tax free expenses he receives ?</div> <div> I have created a new page called <B>Charity Expose</B> and re-posted my investigation of the three local charities of which Sharing Place was the first. The other reason for my re-opening this issue is the CBC/National's investigation into  <A HREF="http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2010/09/21/con-charities-fundraisers.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2010/09"><U>Where your money goes</U></A>. So pleased that someone but me has questions about these charities which are nothing more than piggy banks for the well connected. Please check out the page and re-read what I found locally last year and read the CBC expose as well. It is time for all good willed people to Speak Out. It is unacceptable for the intended recipients of charity to actually get only pennies from each dollar donated. My hope is for CBC to follow up their investigation with a similar one I did, but more extensive. One can only hope it will be done.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sept. 20, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>The Lowly Cucumber</B></div> <div> WOW WHAT A LITTLE GEM THE CUCUMBER IS. </div> <div> 1.

Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area. </div> <bR> <div> 5 Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!! </div> <bR> <div> 6.. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free.

And how exciting that the new fall TV season is just days away! But before we get too far away from something we would all just like to forget, will you please allow me to just say something plain and blunt and necessary: We invaded Iraq because most Americans -- including good liberals like Al Franken, Nicholas Kristof & Bill Keller of the New York Times, David Remnick of the New Yorker, the editors of the Atlantic and the New Republic, Harvey Weinstein, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and John Kerry -- wanted to. Of course the actual blame for the war goes to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz because they ordered the "precision" bombing, the invasion, the occupation, and the theft of our national treasury. I have no doubt that history will record that they committed the undisputed Crime of the (young) Century. But how did they get away with it, considering they'd lost the presidential election by 543,895 votes? They also knew that the majority of the country probably wouldn't back them in such a war (a Newsweek poll in October 2002 showed 61% thought it was "very important" for Bush to get formal approval from the United Nations for war -- but that never happened). So how did they pull it off? They did it by getting liberal voices to support their war. They did it by creating the look of bipartisanship. And they convinced other countries' leaders like Tony Blair to get on board and make it look like it wasn't just our intelligence agencies cooking the evidence. But most importantly, they made this war (and its public support) happen because Bush & Co. had brilliantly conned the New York Times into running a bunch of phony front-page stories about how Saddam Hussein had all these "weapons of mass destruction." The administration gleefully fed this false information not to Fox News or the Washington Times. They gave it to America's leading liberal newspaper. They must have had a laugh riot each morning when they'd pick up the New York Times and read the nearly word-for-word scenarios and talking points that they had concocted in the Vice President's office. I blame the New York Times more for this war than Bush. I expected Bush and Cheney to try and get away with what they did. But the Times -- and the rest of the press -- was supposed to STOP them by doing their job: Be a relentless watchdog of government and business -- and then inform the public so we can take action. Instead, the New York Times gave the Bush administration the cover they needed. They could -- and did -- say, 'Hey, look, even the Times says Saddam has WMD!' With this groundwork laid, the Bush crowd ended up convincing a whopping 70% of the public to support the war -- a public that had given him less than 48% of its vote in 2000. Early liberal support for this war was the key ingredient in selling it to a majority of the public. I realize this is something that no one in the media -- nor most of us -- really wants to discuss. Who among us wants to feel the pain of having to remember that liberals, by joining with Bush, made this war happen? Please, before our collective memory fades, I just want us to be honest with ourselves and present an unsanitized version of how they pulled off this war. I can guarantee you the revisionists will make sure the real truth will not enter the history books. Children born when the war began started second grade this month. Kids who were eleven in 2003 are now old enough to join up and get killed in Iraq in a "non-combat capacity." They'll never understand how we got here if we don't. So let me state this clearly: This war was aided and abetted by a) liberals who were afraid to stick their necks out and thus remained silent; and b) liberals who actually said they believed Colin Powell's cartoon presentation at the U.N. and then went against their better judgment by publicly offering their support for the invasion of Iraq. First, there were those 29 (turncoat) Democratic senators who voted for the war. Then there was the embarrassing display of reporters who couldn't wait to be "embedded" and go for a joy ride on a Bradley tank. But my real despair lies with the people I counted on for strong opposition to this madness -- but who left the rest of us alone, out on a limb, as we tried to stop the war. In March of 2003, to be a public figure speaking out against the war was considered instant career suicide. Take the Dixie Chicks as Exhibit A. Their lead singer, Natalie Maines, uttered just one sentence of criticism -- and their career was effectively dead and buried at that moment. Bruce Springsteen spoke out in their defense, and a Colorado DJ was fired for refusing to not play their songs. That was about it. Crickets everywhere else. Then MSNBC fired the only nightly critic of the war -- the television legend, Phil Donahue. No one at the network -- or any network -- spoke up on his behalf. There would never again be a Phil Donahue show. (Little did GE know that, when they soon filled that 8pm hour with a sports guy by the name of Keith Olbermann, they would end up with the war's most brilliant and fiercest critic, night after night after night.) There were a few others -- Bill Maher, Janeane Garofalo, Tim Robbins and Seymour Hersh -- who weren't afraid to speak the truth. But where was everyone else? Where were all those supposed liberal voices in the media? Instead, this is what we were treated to back in 2003 and 2004: ** Al Franken, who said he "reluctantly" was "a supporter of the war against Saddam." And six months into the war Al was still saying, "There were reasons to go to war against Iraq ... I was very ambivalent about it but I still don't know if it was necessarily wrong (to go to war)." ** Nicholas Kristof, columnist for the New York Times, who attacked me and wrote a column comparing me to the nutty right-wingers who claimed Hillary had Vince Foster killed. He said people like me were "polarizing the political cesspool," and he chastised anyone who dared call Bush's reasons for going to war in Iraq "lies." ** Howell Raines, editor-in-chief of the "liberal" New York Times, who was, according to former Times editor Doug Frantz, "eager to have articles that supported the war-mongering out of Washington ... He discouraged pieces that were at odds with the administration's position on Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction and alleged links of al-Qaeda." The book "Hard News" reported that "according to half a dozen sources within the Times, Raines wanted to prove once and for all that he wasn't editing the paper in a way that betrayed his liberal beliefs..." ** Bill Keller, at the time a New York Times columnist, who wrote: "We reluctant hawks may disagree among ourselves about the most compelling logic for war -- protecting America, relieving oppressed Iraqis or reforming the Middle East -- but we generally agree that the logic for standing pat does not hold. ... we are hard pressed to see an alternative that is not built on wishful thinking." (The New York Times is so left-wing that when Raines retired, they replaced him with... Keller.) ** The New Yorker, the magazine for really smart liberals, found its editor-in-chief, David Remnick, supporting the war on its pages: "History will not easily excuse us if, by deciding not to decide, we defer a reckoning with an aggressive totalitarian leader who intends not only to develop weapons of mass destruction but also to use them. ... a return to a hollow pursuit of containment will be the most dangerous option of all." (To cover its ass, the New Yorker had another editor, Rick Hertzberg, write an anti-war editorial as a rebuttal.) Some of the above have recanted their early support of the war. The Times fired its WMD correspondent and apologized to its readers. Al Franken has been a great Senator. Kristof now writes nice columns (check out last Sunday's). But the support of the war by these leading liberals and the majority of the Democrats in the Senate made it safe for the Right to let loose a vicious and unchecked tirade of hate and threats on anyone (including myself) who dared to step out of line. It was not uncommon to hear the media describe me as "un-American," "anti-American," "aiding the terrorists," and being a "traitor." Here are just a couple of examples of what was said about me over the airwaves by two of the nation's leading conservative commentators: "Let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my 'What Would Jesus Do' band, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, 'Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore,' and then I'd see the little band: 'What Would Jesus Do?' And then I'd realize, 'Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death.' And you know, well, I'm not sure." (Glenn Beck) And: "Well, I want to kill Michael Moore. Is that all right? All right. And I don't believe in capital punishment. That's just a joke on Moore." (Bill O'Reilly) (Ironically, O'Reilly made his threat/joke the night after Janet Jackson's breast was bared at the Super Bowl -- which got CBS fined over half a million dollars because, you know, nipples are far more frightening than death threats.) So that's how I'll personally remember the early war years: living with a real and present danger caused by the hate whipped up by right-wing radio and TV. (I've been advised not to recount certain specific incidents that happened to me, as it would only encourage other crazy people.) So I dealt with it. And I'm still here. And I know many of you went through your own crap, standing up against the war at school, or work, or at Thanksgiving dinner, taking your own blows for simply saying what was the truth. But how much easier it would have been for all of us if the liberal establishment had stood with us? We didn't own a daily newspaper, or a magazine with a circulation in the millions. We didn't have our own TV show or network. We weren't invited on shows like "Meet the Press," because they simply could not allow our voice to be heard. The media watchdog group FAIR reported that in the three weeks after the war started, the CBS Evening News allowed only one anti-war voice on their show -- and that was on one night in one soundbite (and that was four seconds of me in a line from my Oscar speech) -- even though in March of 2003 our anti-war numbers were in the millions (remember the huge demonstrations in hundreds of cities?). We were around 30% of the country according to most polls (that's nearly 100 million Americans!) and yet we had no way to communicate with each other aside from through the Nation and a few websites like CommonDreams.org and Truth-Out.org. But that was no way to build a huge mass movement of Middle Americans to oppose the war. Unless you had just lucked out and been handed an Oscar on live television in front of a gazillion people where you had 45 seconds to say something before they cut you off and booed you off the stage (hahahaha), you had no public platform. (Jeez, I sure did get booed a lot that year: simply walking through an airport, or eating dinner in a restaurant, or sitting at a Laker game where they suddenly put me up on the Jumbotron and the place went so angry-crazy that Larry David, who was sitting next to me, felt that maybe for his own safety he should perhaps slide a few seats down or go get us a couple of wieners. Instead, he stuck by my side -- and his skillful ninja moves got us out of there alive after the game.) I know it's hard to remember, but when this war started, there was no YouTube, no Facebook, no Twitter, no way for you to bypass the media lords so you could have your own friggin' say. Too bad for the bastards, those days are over. The next time around, it won't be so easy to shut up a country girl band or try to silence someone while he accepts his little gold statue -- or completely ignore the millions of citizens in the streets. So now we can hope that one of our wars is over. Too bad we lost. I hate to lose, don't you? But the fact is, we lost the very day we invaded a sovereign nation that posed absolutely no threat to us and had nothing to do with 9/11. We lost lives (over 4,400 of ours, hundreds of thousands of theirs), we lost limbs (a total of 35,000 troops came back with various wounds and disabilities and God knows how many more with mental problems). We lost the money our grandchildren were supposed to live on. And we lost our soul, who we were, what we stood for as a once-great country -- lost it all. Can we now ask for redemption -- for forgiveness? Can we be... "America" again? I guess we'll see. The vast majority of the country eventually came around to the Dixie Chicks' position. And we elected an anti-Iraq-war guy by the name of Barack Hussein Obama. But, please, promise yourselves never to forget how our country went crazy 7 1/2 years ago -- even though, to many people at the time, it seemed completely normal. And I'm here to tell you, no matter how much better it's gotten, no matter how normal you may think things are now, we're still halfway nuts. Just listen to the new batch of "sensible pundits" as they start to beat the drums about what we should do to Iran. One war down, one (or two or three) to go. C'mon, Mr. President, not one more kid needs to die overseas wearing a uniform with our flag on it. We can't win like this. Let's dig a few thousand wells in Afghanistan, build a few free mosques, leave behind some food and clothing, fix their electrical grid, issue an apology and set up a Facebook page so they can stay in touch with us -- and then let's get the hell out. Your own National Security Advisor and your CIA Director have told you there are less than 100 al-Qaeda fighters in the entire country. 100??? 100,000 U.S. troops going after 100 al-Qaeda? Is this a Looney Tunes presentation? "A-ba-dee-a-ba-dee-a-ba-dee -- That's All Folks!" Let's get real. I'm glad one war is "over." But I know how we got there -- and I'm willing now to fight just as hard to stop these other wars if you won't, Mr. Obama. Your call. </div> <div> Yours, </div> <div> Michael Moore</div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:Mike@MichaelMoore.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:Mike@MichaelMoore.com"><U>mailto:Mike@MichaelMoore.com</U></A> </div> <div>  MichaelMoore.com </div> <div> P.S. Just a thought, Mr. President. Can I ask that you go back and watch this movie I made -- "Fahrenheit 9/11." There might be some answers there. I give you my permission to download it for free by going to this site: TorrentHound.com. Don't tell the studio I said it was ok! They've only made a half a billion $$ on it so far. </div> <div> P.P.S. To everyone on my list: Thanks to your thousands of generous donations, we've raised over $60,000 for the Muslim community center near Ground Zero. This has made news around the world, that there are Americans who believe in our stated American principles. </div> <div> Comment:</div> <div> How true it is. Remember this Oct. 25 when you vote for those who would represent you. Like Mike said do not forget forget. Same is true of our local politics so do not forget  how the incumbents performed and lied to us. Do not forget the tens of millions of dollars  wasted with nothing to show for it. Ask the question of where was Angelo Orsi when he could have done something about the waste? Ask yourself which of the ward candidates had an opion or dared fight those in power and tried to stop the madness. Ask which candidates have been active over the years telling you the truth and fight for you? Then contact those candidates and give them your support and help them into office. They were right back then as they will be right in fixing the mess left by the incumbents. We need at least 5 strong independent councillors in order for Orillia to make a comeback from the abys of debt and waste.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Aug. 29, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Finally Confirmation of My Numbers</B></div> <div> <B>     </B>Yesterday's Packet carried a story which confirmed my numbers on what it actually costs to dispose of contaminated soil. </div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2733473" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisp"><U>Costly soil testing at Barrie road building</U></A></div> <div> "If the soil needs to be remediated, it will cost $197 a tonne, he said." Ironmonger</div> <div> For the last 5 years I have been watching the Barrie Rd. property which was the former Fahramet foundry and shaking my head. I was stunned as each phase of this publicly funded project was approved by mayor and council. My early expectations was that the property would be cleaned up from the get-go. But mayor, councillors, staff and the developer had other plans. </div> <div>      So ask yourself, how can you build an apartment building on a piece of contaminated property without cleaning it? The first building was a simple process. The developer simply dumped the contamination from the footprint of the building onto the east half of the property. Once the contaminants were moved (not disposed of) Mayor, council and management allowed for the property to be severed in two. So without spending a dime for disposal fees, technically the west side became cleaned and the building went up. This clean up was nothing but a paper shuffle so while the soil was spewing it's toxic fumes into the local neighborhood the developer was able to put off spending big money.</div> <div>      But where there is profit for one there is most likely a loser somewhere else or at least a cost to pay by them. The losers in this just might be the health of people in the neighborhood. You see the clever ruse the developer along with mayor, council and city management used was the same one used at the dump with the MURF soil. The piles of dirt was spread out in order to aerate. Aerating is a way of disposing of VOC's and hydrocarbons into the air. All hydrocarbons will evaporate and mix with the air and this neighborhood has been breathing it over the last few years.</div> <div>  <B>Health Impact of Hydrocarbons: </B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Acute respiratory symptoms </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Headaches </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Dizziness </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Vomiting </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Reduced cardiovascular function </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Arrhythmia </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Brain Damage </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Coma </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Premature death</div> <div> The mayor, councillors and city management knew or should have known that breathing these gases day in and day out is not good. But they still allowed this process to go on. Every time they pushed this soil around and re-leveled or re piled it, was to try and dispose of the contaminants on the cheap. But while someone saves others pay. That would be the neighbors.</div> <div> Then we have the contaminated dust which was created by the moving of this dirt around. While the hydrocarbons flash off other chemicals that might be attached to the dust flew freely about. Once more possibly contaminating gardens, lawns, sidewalks, roofs. sidings etc. The mayor, councillors, city management and the MOE knew or should have known. Yet it was allowed. </div> <div> Back when concrete from the footing of the building was being dug up and crushed the dust flew and blanketed everything for blocks. I notified the MOE and an order was given that everything had to be wetted down to stop contaminating the whole neighborhood as the concret was contaminated. They then actually used the crushed stone on site instead of disosing it properly. Another job on the cheap. Since then, not once did they wet down anything as they created sometimes mini dust storms. They knew, mayor, knew, councillors knew and city management knew yet they allowed it to go on.</div> <div> Disgraceful and shameful. Why? is my question. Without even going into the financial arrangements which in itself would have prompted a Grand Jury Investigation south of the border, here we have people celebrating and patting each other on the back. Only in Orillia/Simcoe County.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <div> Footnote: For two years after the spreading of this contaminated soil nothing would grow on it. While weeds grew 3 feet high around the perimiter the entire middle grew virtually nothing. I pointed this out right here with pictures but mayor, councillors, city management and developer just continued on as they do today. So if they dare claim not to have known they are lying.</div> <bR> <div> Here is what I wrote </div> <div> <B>April 06, 2007</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Some Good News Some Bad</B></div> <div> I wrote on March 30 in my How Free are You article about Lauren Carter. I told you how after she <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Spoke Out</B></FONT> about <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#339900" FACE="Arial" ><B>Scout Valley </B></FONT>and challenged Steven's at the mayoral debates her writings disappeared from the Packet. Well! I am happy to report that Lauren has reappeared, not in the Packet but a magazine called Central Ontario Interiors. Now I had never received this publication before and it states in the magazine that it is distributed to select homes only in Simcoe County so I may just be special to have been picked for delivery. Of course the other theory is that I received a copy because of what I wrote and someone was kind enough to make sure I got a copy "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>anonymously</B></FONT>" of course to keep me up to speed. Anyway I am so pleased for Lauren and wish her all the best as her writing career just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Seems Lauren has a web-site and I urge you to have a visit http://www.laurencarter.ca/ .So Lauren if you read this little "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Rag</B></FONT>" all the best.</div> <div>      In the same magazine on page 17 there is an introduction to the writers of articles. Lauren is there right in the middle and I just have to share part of this write up with you. It seems Lauren has bought and is restoring a home built in the 1920's. It's not surprising why she would be restoring instead of "renovating". One of the first things she found in the house was a "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#339900" FACE="Arial" ><B>tenacious trumpet vine once made it's way inside and started up through the bathroom floor</B></FONT>".  I have been saying for a long time that life will set root anywhere it can make a living and reproduce. This little story shows just how tenacious living plants and animals are to carve out a place for themselves. After all life exists at least for now, in the most inhospitable environments around the planet. </div> <div>      So why am I bothering you with this??? It's simple. I want to draw your attention back to 95 Barrie Rd. which people like Stevens, Gardy, Cipolla and Spears claim can be built on safely. These four guys and the previous council allowed contaminated soil to be pushed onto the East side of the property instead of being removed and cleaned properly. They allowed the building of a three story apartment building right beside all this contaminated soil which can be described as toxic. How do I know it's toxic? Virtually nothing grows on it. That's right, while Lauren has a plant growing into the house and through a floor the Eastside of 95 Barrie Rd. with full sunlight produces almost nothing. Not hard to see that there is something drastically wrong. To make things down there even worse, council has approved the development of the Eastside at one of their meeting about a month ago. They did say that the property should be cleaned up but no one with a calculator could ever come up with a project that would justify spending the kind of money needed to remove the contamination (millions of dollars). I have taken many pictures of this site over the last three years but nothing so far has indicated that a cleanup is planned or will happen.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div>      So would I allow anyone to live there without a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#339900" FACE="Arial" ><B>complete cleanup</B></FONT>???

Specifically, the Texas researchers compared leachate from several municipal landfills with leachate from the notorious Love Canal landfill (and other hazardous waste landfills, such as Kin-Buc in Edison, NJ) and they found the leachates similar in their cancer-causing potential. </div> <div> Leachate is the liquid that is produced when rain falls on a landfill, sinks into the wastes, and picks up chemicals as it seeps downward. Industries creating "hazardous wastes" (as legally defined under federal law) may not send those wastes to municipal landfills, but must instead send them to special hazardous waste landfills. </div> <div> When a new municipal landfill is proposed, advocates of the project always emphasize that "no hazardous wastes will enter this landfill." The Texas study shows that even though municipal landfills may not legally receive "hazardous" wastes, the leachate they produce is as dangerous as the leachate from hazardous waste landfills. </div> <div> Dr. Kirk Brown and Dr. K.C. Donnelly at Texas A&M, authors of the new study, examined data on the composition of leachate from 58 landfills. The data they reviewed showed 113 different toxic chemicals in leachate from municipal landfills and 72 toxic chemicals in leachate from hazardous waste landfills. The abundance of toxics in municipal landfills probably occurs because the entire spectrum of consumer products ends up in municipal landfills, whereas hazardous waste landfills serve a limited number of industries within a region. </div> <div> The actual source of the toxic chemicals in municipal landfills is not known precisely. Under federal law (RCRA Subtitle C) each "small quantity generator" can send up to 2640 pounds per year of legally-hazardous chemicals to municipal landfills. In 1980, the EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] estimated that 600,000 tons per year of legally-hazardous wastes were going to municipal dumps from 695,000 "small quantity generators." </div> <div> Illegal dumping may be another source; illegal dumping is impossible to prevent entirely because someone bringing in a truckload of wastes may hide a few gallons, or a few barrels, of hazardous chemicals in the middle of the truckload. The higher the price of legal disposal, the more incentive people have to dump illegally. However, the most likely source of most of the toxic materials in municipal landfills is legally-disposed household products like paint solvents, oils, cleaning compounds, degreasing compounds, and pesticides. "In addition, the final depository of most of the products of our modern industrial society is the municipal waste landfill where the paints, plastics, and pharmaceuticals dissolve and degrade in the acidic anaerobic [oxygen-free] environment, thereby, releasing degradation products which may be even more toxic than the products from which they originated," say Brown and Donnelly. </div> <div> The findings of Brown and Donnelly will come as no surprise to many researchers who have known for years that municipal leachate is as toxic as the leachate from industrial landfills. For example, in an article entitled, "APPLICATION OF HYDROGEOLOGY TO THE SELECTION OF REFUSE DISPOSAL SITES," Ronald A. Landon reported in 1969 in the JOURNAL OF GROUND WATER, Vol. 7 (Nov.-Dec., 1969), pgs. 9-13, that "Leachate at its source, that is within the landfill, has concentrations and characteristics of many industrial wastes; and in many instances would be better treated as such a waste." (pg. 12) </div> <div> What Brown and Donnelly have contributed is a quantitative analysis of the toxicity and the carcinogenic potential of leachates from the two types of landfills. </div> <div> Brown and Donnelly conclude, "The risk calculations based on suspect carcinogens... indicate that the estimated carcinogenic potency for the leachate from some municipal landfills may be similar to the carcinogenic potency of the leachate from the Love Canal landfill." </div> <div> In industrial landfill leachate, 32 chemicals cause cancer; 10 cause birth defects, and 21 cause genetic damage; in municipal landfill leachate, 32 chemicals cause cancer, 13 cause birth defects, and 22 cause genetic damage. </div> <div> The new study, "An Estimation of the Risk Associated with the Organic Constituents of Hazardous and Municipal Waste Landfill Leachates," appears in the journal, HAZARDOUS WASTES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, Vol. 5, No. 1 (Spring, 1988), pgs. 1-30.

For the MOE to only now finding problems with leachate escaping from the site is terribly disingenuous. Lake Simcoe is simply dead where ever this leachate is present. In my visit I witnessed a number of places where leachate was actually seen bubbling up out of the sand. My visit was during August which typically is a dry month. Imagine the volume during the wet months like April, May, June, Oct. and Nov.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="697e1690.jpg" border=0 width="481" height="361" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Picture above shows one of these springs of leachate.

However, more information about its effects in terrestrial animals is required. As a part of ongoing research into the toxic effects of landfill leachate in Nigeria, we evaluated the acute effects of raw and simulated leachates from Abadina, Orita-Aperin and Oworonsoki dump sites, all in Southwest Nigeria, in mice. Raw leachates were obtained directly from the dumps while the simulated leachates were obtained from the solid wastes in the laboratory by using the ASTM method. The samples were designated Abadina raw leachate (ARL), Orita-Aperin raw leachate (OARL) and Oworonsoki raw leachate (OWRL); and Abadina simulated leachate (ASL), Orita-Aperin simulated leachate (OASL) and Oworonsoki simulated leachate (OWSL). Their physico-chemical properties were determined in accordance with standard analytical methods. Young male mice (12-15 wk) weighing 24-31 g were exposed to 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50% and 100% concentrations of each test samples for 5 consecutive days and were observed for a period of 96 h for toxic response. Mortality recorded at different times for each sample at the various concentrations was mostly within the last 48 h of the exposure period. The LC50 obtained are 100% for both ARL and OARL, and 50% for OWRL; and 83.50% and 50% for ASL and OWSL, respectively. It was indeterminate for OASL. Apart from this, other toxic effects like weight loss, sluggishness, loss of hair and reduced food intake were observed. The investigated samples were ranked as OWRL > OWSL > ASL > OARL > ARL > OASL. The observed effects were due to the toxic constituents present in the leachate samples. This suggests that the mixtures have the potential to cause harmful effect to public health and our environment through seepage into ground or surface water.</div> <div> PMID: 15248658 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> How can anyone have faith in the MOE or city politicians and management??? </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Aug. 12, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Dick Sleep Runs for Council Ward 1</B></div> <div>      Dick Sleep, long time resident has decided to seek to be Ward 1 Councillor.

Over this time I have posted dozens of comments and was disappointed many times when the Packet just simply deleted not only mine but other's legitimate and genuine comments. You see I started Speaking Out back in 2002 first in print and then on the web in 2004 because of what I saw the Packet was doing to this community. </div> <div> Under the guise of being a news organization the Packet has consistently been on side with the powers first by giving great space for their harebrained schemes as being legitimate public service and by dismissing those who dared question these schemes. I have always said that if the Packet were ever to become a reliable impartial source for the benefit of the people I would gladly cease Speaking Out. This site/publication is not nor has it ever been a commercial venture. It has always been a passion to inform people of the truth.</div> <div>      So in early may I decided to cut back my activity and in June I stopped writing except for my comments on the Packet site. As I have stated there has been disappointment building on disappointment of how the Packet has treated not only mine but other's comments as well. Here is my comment today on the HRC Lawsuit that was posted a few minutes ago. <A HREF="http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2690105&#postbox" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisp"><U>http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2690105&#postbox</U></A></div> <bR> <div> "It never ceases to amaze me how much information is covered up by this newspaper. Yesterday I comment on this item only to have it removed. It was truthful and not defamatory to any individual but it was disturbing. It supported the victims and their families in their quest for justice. It gave one example of just one went on with abuse of residents by the minority of staff.</div> <div> The Packet instead of allowing discussion and valid information to it's readers simply deletes. I have been saying for years that Orillia's news organizations are the major impediment of our progress. That is why I began publishing www.speakingout.biz. I have tried to give the Packet another chance to change their ways but it seems there is no intent for them to become anything but an exclusive tool of the backroom boys network. Too bad but reality is not pretty."</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div> Why I am upset is that yesterday under the same story I wrote a comment that the Packet and the backroom boys would rather not become widely known. You see it disrupts that cozy toasty feeling that they have of themselves, so here goes.</div> <bR> <div> "The night before Jack White was to appear before the Appeals Court on his wrongful conviction he and his friend Mark from Owen Sound came for supper. Mark who was a resident of the HRC and had left like Jack had made a good life for himself in that community. Mark has recently retired from working in the Owen Sound Hospital looking after their operating rooms and other duties.</div> <div> Mark like Jack had been deposited at the HRC for less than legitimate reasons 60 or more years subjected to a life there of abuse by the few. After upper Mark and Jack related stories of horror and I want to share only one of these but by no means the worse. Mark confirmed by Jack talked of one particular humiliating abuse that should shock any decent human being.</div> <div> If a resident or a number of residents needed punishment one of these punishment went like this. A number of residents were either stripped of their clothing or were ordered to strip themselves. They were made to lie on the floor face down naked. Then those requiring punishment were forced to get down on all fours and cheeks were ordered spread while the punished had to put their noses into the cracks and smell the asses."</div> <div> This folks according to Jack and Mark was a standard punishment. It was because Jack helped police with this type and worse abuse investigation is why he has paid such a huge price over the last 20 years."</div> <bR> <div>  Now I would be surprised if the Packet didn't know of this going on back then as it was common knowledge according to Jack and Mark. So let's say the Packet didn't know back then. So let's give them the benefit of doubt. But much of this must have been known after the police investigation which was not only of abuse like this but even suspicious deaths.</div> <div> Did the Packet ever report such matters? I don't recall it and many whom I have spoke to and shared this with who are lifelong readers don't remember any Packet reporting of this type of goings on either.</div> <div> It was this comment that the Packet has made disappear since yesterday. I had hoped that since the departure of Mark Bissett and others the Packet would maybe change even slightly. But imagine my disappointment when it became clear that nothing has changed. It doesn't matter who the publisher is as there is a new one only last year (John Hamill). Nothing changed. Mark Bissett left nothing changed. Colin McKim left nothing changed. So who runs this publication and calls all the shots? Whose interest is it in to keep the people ignorant?</div> <div> This is why I will continue to publish this site as people should know what is happening to them and who is doing it. People have a right to know about questionable deals and spending and who made the decision to do so. Let all your contacts know that Speaking Out is back to inform you of happenings that Orillia's news organizations won't tell you about.  Make sure you let the Packet and Orillia Today know that you want your news straight up and not censored and reported honestly.</div> <bR> <div> I would also like to ask any of you who want to Speak Out to submit letters and even articles of public interest and benefit. If you see it, know it and is the truth we want you to share it with all our readers. Since 2004 we have had almost 8,000,000 visitors and is widely read not just by this community but from the West Bank to the Phillipines, Great Briton and many other countries around the world. We are monitored by news organizations like the CBC and TV Ontario along with others. So write it, get it off your chest and we will make sure it will get wide distribution. But always bearing in mind that it be factual, honest and truthful.

Seems Lake Head is grateful to Stevens for his hard work in getting them to move to Orillia. But the truth is getting Lake Head here took no more effort than to sign a huge cheque. It turns out there  wasn't much competition in the courtship battle to persuade them in the first place. It all came down to one thing and one thing only.</div> <div>      If Brechin had of offered $10 more than Orillia, it would be Billy Duffy mayor of Ramara who would be honoured. The Lake Head move to Orillia was made possible by Orillia being the highest bidder.</div> <div> Here is what Tim Lauer writes on his web-site.</div> <div> Anyone who portrays the partnering of Lakehead and the City of Orillia as a romance, filled with tales of subtle seduction, nuance and clever strategy, is misguided. In fact never was there a more pragmatic courtship. Essentially President Gilbert was invited to our dance, he arrived, liked the lay of the land, noted our not-too-well-concealed dowry and said ?lets dance?. </div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.timlauer.ca/?Issues.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.timlauer.ca/?Issues.htm"><U>http://www.timlauer.ca/?Issues.htm</U></A></div> <div> It was all about the size of the Dowry as Lauer calls the real reason why Lake Head located here. It is the people of Orillia who deserve this presentation for coughing up ten million as a down payment and the many tens of millions this project will cost in the next few years and decades to follow.</div> <div>      Now that Orillia has been reduced to a financial basket case for the next generation Stevens is packing up his tent and following the development that will take place outside our boundaries. "Stevens said he looks forward to "renewing a lot of relationships" with Ward 4 residents." He then goes on to say "That's where my priorities will be," he said of the ward." His astuteness then shares with us this. " The recent introduction of water and sewer services has made it more conducive to development, Stevens said, noting there are subdivision applications before council." He then goes on to proclaim, ""The sewer and water systems have brought this on. (development) The system and the area can handle that, but not at the inconvenience of the people who already live there," said Stevens, who vowed to be "a front-running watchdog on the issue." He fancies himself a "Watch Dog"? All I can say is the people of Severn need to watch this guy who never met a developer with a fat wallet he didn't instantly fall in love with. Just like those camp whores who follow army's around during war picking up the spoils.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>June 01, 2010</B></div> <div> Open Letter to Right Honorable Prime Minister Stephen Harper concerning Sunday's Israeli attack against humanitarians: </div> <div> June 1, 2010 </div> <div> As Canada’s elected leader, why have you not publicly expressed your indignation and condemnation of Sunday’s horrific Israeli attack on the civilian humanitarian ships in the international waters of the Mediterranean? It sickened many Canadians to see you, Mr. Harper, our country’s spokesperson, supportively smiling and nodding beside Netanyahu as he glibly twisted and spun to rationalize the inexcusable atrocities of his ‘brave Israeli soldiers’ who on Sunday added to their long list of incidents of ethnic cleansing and more war crimes by gunning down unarmed humanitarians desperately defending their lives with slingshots, sticks and hoses, killing 9, wounding scores of others, and kidnapping over 600 foreign nationals and confiscating their six ships and precious cargo. The earlier so-called Israeli ‘offer’ to deliver the humanitarian aid cargo comprising food, medicine, cement and piping for repair of infrastructure ruined two years ago by Israeli bombs and missiles, was a farce. Only people practicing willful ignorance could let themselves be fooled into thinking that the international humanitarian shipments would reach the Palestinians intact – only those few items not under the draconian Israeli embargo would be allowed into Gaza; so there would be very little the Israeli occupiers would allow to transit onwards to ease the suffering of the impoverished inhabitants of the Gaza – the largest open-air prison in human history. Canadians once identified themselves as citizens of a nation of peace-keepers but, under your leadership Mr. Harper, our country’s international image has become more and more odious as you spinelessly pander to the inhuman Israeli aggressors and tarnish Canada’s reputation as a fair minded people. It is surely time that you began showing compassion for the Palestinian people starving and dying like animals in a trap that Israel made for them – a prison that is getting smaller day by day as Israel seizes or destroys the Palestinian’s diminishing land-base? This latest Israeli atrocity has evoked international government outrage and fury that is palpable to all humans everywhere... Have you not noted the reaction from other world leaders, such as condemnation today from the UN Security Council and leaders in Turkey and Europe? If you can muster any human decency, Prime Minister, perhaps it is time for even you to set aside your photo-op yarmulke and show Canada’s citizens a human side – by speaking up for the oppressed Palestinian people and against the tactics of a rogue Israel possessing hundreds of undeclared nuclear weapons; an Israel that - day by day – has become more dangerous to everyone on the planet, as the American VP Joe Biden recently complained when on a state visit to Israel. </div> <div> Concerned Canadian Voters </div> <div> Keith and Marlene Elliott </div> <div> 47 Clifford St.</div> <div> Orillia, Ontario L3V 1C7 </div> <div> 705-325-3592 </div> <bR> <div> <B>May 30, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>The Perfect Storm Has Arrived</B></div> <div>      It sure looks like all the warnings about what politicians have been doing to us in order to keep power are coming to bite us in the ass.

They packaged junk investments and then sold them to all us suckers who believed that they were people of honour. I mean these are the people who have gained huge wealth.

A further <B>trillion dollars</B> have been dumped into this bailout on top of the $140 billion dollars given to Greece in order to stop it's default. But what people don't seem to realize that the default was only postponed not stopped. This is the same method used in the mortgage meltdown to fool people into thinking they were solvent. Drive up the real estate prices and have people borrow ever larger amounts against this supposed asset but never checking whether they have the ability to pay it back. Bankrupt Greece is no different. It was going to default because it couldn't afford to pay it's obligations. Lending it more money to make the payment does not improve their balance sheet. Only difference is they now owe this money to 200,000,000 people instead of a few banks. Banks are off the hook people replace them.

Russian scientists are basing their apocalyptic destruction assessment due to BP's use of millions of gallons of the chemical dispersal agent known as Corexit 9500  which is being pumped directly into the leak of this wellhead over a mile under the Gulf of Mexico waters and designed, this report says, to keep hidden from the American public the full, and tragic, extent of this leak that is now estimated to be over 2.9 million gallons a day The dispersal agent Corexit 9500 is a solvent originally developed by Exxon and now manufactured by the  of Naperville, Illinois that is four times more toxic than oil (oil is toxic at 11 ppm (parts per million), Corexit 9500 at only 2.61ppm).  In a report written by Anita George-Ares and James R. Clark for Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc. titled  " Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview" Corexit 9500 was found to be one of the most toxic dispersal agents ever developed. Even worse, according to this report, with higher water temperatures, like those now occurring in the Gulf of Mexico, its toxicity grows. The United States Environmental Protection Agency  in discovering BP's use of this dangerous dispersal agent ordered BP to stop using it, but  stating that their only alternative to Corexit 9500 was an even more dangerous dispersal agent known as The main differences between Corexit 9500 and Sea Brat 4 lie in how long these dangerous chemicals take to degrade into their constituent organic compounds, which for Corexit 9500 is 28 days.  Sea Brat 4, on the other hand, degrades into an organic chemical called Nonylphenol that is toxic to aquatic life and can persist in the environment for years. A greater danger involving Corexit 9500, and as outlined by Russian scientists in this report, is that with its 2.61ppm toxicity level, and when combined with the heating Gulf of Mexico waters, its molecules will be able to "phase transition"  from their present liquid to a gaseous state allowing them to be absorbed into clouds and allowing their release as "toxic rain"  Even worse, should a Katrina like tropical hurricane form in the Gulf of Mexico while tens of millions of gallons of Corexit 9500 are sitting on, or near, its surface the resulting "toxic rain"  falling upon the North American continent could  destroy all microbial life to any depth it reaches resulting in an  "unimaginable environmental catastrophe"  destroying all life forms from the "bottom of the evolutionary chart to the top" Note:  For molecules of a liquid to evaporate, they must be located near the surface, be moving in the proper direction, and have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome liquid-phase intermolecular forces. Only a small proportion of the molecules meet these criteria, so the rate of evaporation is limited. Since the kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to its temperature, evaporation proceeds more quickly at higher temperatures. As over 50 miles of the US State of Louisiana's coastline has already been destroyed by this spill, American scientists are warning that the damage may be impossible to repair, and as we can read as reported by the Associated Press News Service: " The gooey oil washing into the maze of marshes along the Gulf Coast could prove impossible to remove, leaving a toxic stew lethal to fish and wildlife, government officials and independent scientists said. Officials are considering some drastic and risky solutions: They could set the wetlands on fire or flood areas in hopes of floating out the oil. They warn an aggressive cleanup could ruin the marshes and do more harm than good. And to understand the full import of this catastrophe it must be remembered that this disaster is occurring in what is described as the "biologically richest waters in America" with the greatest amount of oil and toxic Corexit 9500  set to come ashore in the coming days and weeks  to destroy it completely for decades to come. Reports are also coming from the United States that their government is  secretly preparing to evacuate tens-of-millions of their citizens  from their Gulf of Mexico States should the most dire of these scientific warnings start to come true. To the greatest lesson to be learned by these Americans is that their government-oil industry cabal has been just as destructive to them as their government-banking one, both of which have done more to destroy the United States these past couple of years than any foreign enemy could dare dream was possible. But to their greatest enemy the Americans need look no further than their nearest mirror as they are the ones who allowed these monsters to rule over them in the first place.</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.eutimes.net/2010/05/toxic-oil-spill-rains-warned-could-destroy-north-america/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.eutimes.net/2010/05/toxic-oil"><U><B>http://www.eutimes.net/2010/05/toxic-oil-spill-rains-warned-could-destroy-north-america/</B></U></A></div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>May 26, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Done With Stupid</B></div> <div> <U>May 26, 2010 at 6:50 am</U><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> I received the following yesterday from Kelly Clune re: well contamination over by Midland.

What is happening today with the MP's refusal to allow an audit of their expenses is just more of the same bull crap that has gone on for many years. Too bad people weren't paying much attention back then. Today's scandal could have been avoided and many tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars could have been saved over these past 7 years. This is a good lesson for people to learn. What is ignored by we the people today will come back to haunt us down the road. Make sure you let Bruce Stanton know you want to see all his expenses line by line. You want to know exactly what these monies are spent for. One thing is for sure. He and all politicians who say trust us, can not be trusted.</div> <div> Expensive</div> <div> An article concerning the Minister of Heritage Sheila Copps, caught my attention. It was concerning her expenses</div> <div> and her unwillingness to provide details under an Information request by Sun Media. The article states that she has not</div> <div> provided receipts or other documents to completely explain how she spent tens ofthousands of taxpayers. dollars on travel,</div> <div> hospitality and other expenses. Last spring the Prime Minister ordered his ministers to hand over detailed expense</div> <div> accounts when requested through the Access to information. This order came on the heels of weeks of criticism that</div> <div> ministers were hiding their high-flying ways behind privacy rules. I guess Jeans. power is over as Copps is ignoring his orders.</div> <div> In a short 22 month period Copps spent almost $180,000 in travel, hospitality and other expenses. Almost $81,000 of that</div> <div> was classed as other unspecified expenses. So let.s take a look at what this means. In order to spend this $81,000 on non</div> <div> receiptable expenses she has to spend $122.72 per day. or $3681.81 per month or $44,181.72 per year. I can only assume</div> <div> because she does not show any receipts it went for coffee, donuts, etc. Now remember this was in addition to receipted</div> <div> expenses of almost $100,000. Folks, there are families living on less than half of the money this woman spends</div> <div> on unspecified items! I don.t understand how this unaccountability can be allowed.</div> <div> Ms. Copps earns a salary for her work like all of us. If I buy a meal it comes out of my salary. If I buy a cup of coffee and</div> <div> donut it comes from my salary. Why are we responsible to feed and clothe these people and still pay them a salary? I can</div> <div> see paying for travel expenses and</div> <div> certainly accommodation while away from home, but certainly not personal items which she is embarrassed to divulge.</div> <div> I believe all expenses should be scrutinized and receipts provided.</div> <div> Ministers are given the title Honorable, so prove it by being honest, up front and transparent.

See Moreprorogation of Parliament by simply chatting on Facebook. Their aim is to raise awareness of the current dangers to democracy. They are doing so by placing ads in Canadian newspapers so that the political discussion can be brought to a wider audience than that on the internet social networking sites. Their main goal is to have Canadians see that there is a need for them to exercise their right to unseat Mr. Harper by democratic means in the next general election.</div> <bR> <div> According to an article published on Monday in a national newspaper, the Conservative Party of Canada in "a series of talking points underlining their view" called C.R.U.S.H. "a radical anti-Stephen Harper group”. </div> <bR> <div> The application of a term such as "radical" is generally subjective in nature and that word is usually used as a term of disparagement.</div> <bR> <div> It is true that the C.R.U.S.H. ads raised Stephen Harper's actions as being negative for Canada and Canadians. It is left up to you to decide whether stating the following as being Harper’s offenses against our democratic traditions and institutions constitutes a reasonable basis for being called publicly "a radical anti-Stephen Harper group”: </div> <div> Proroguing parliament to avoid facing a non-confidence vote (2008) </div> <div> Proroguing parliament to avoid answering questions about the government’s handling of Afghan detainees (2009) </div> <div> Muzzling ministers, members of Parliament, and government watchdogs; stacking committees with political operatives </div> <div> Politicizing federal institutions and programs that should represent all Canadians </div> <div> Avoiding questions by the media; restricting or denying access to information </div> <div> Using obstructionist tactics; employing American “spin doctors” </div> <div> Showing contempt for Parliament by refusing to abide by a duly passed motion to turn over documents. </div> <bR> <div> Canadians Rallying to Unseat Stephen Harper's more than 3,090 members are multi-partisan in composition. They are not radical, as the Conservative Party of Canada would have the public believe, but rather they are concerned citizens of Canada who have joined together in response to the anti-democratic direction in which they see Stephen Harper as having been taking our country.</div> <bR> <div> If opposing the policies and practices of the current government is the action of a radical that would imply that the more than 62 percent of voters who opted for parties other than the Conservative Party of Canada in the last election are radicals and continue to be so when polled.

I suspect that your goal is not to be seen as a misogynist or a bully, or to alienate any voter who happens to have a uterus – which is too bad, really, because if that was the case, you’d be wildly successful. Is this some kind of show of power? Are you trying to sneak your religious beliefs into policy decisions without anyone noticing? Or did you really just want to tell the women of the developing world to drop dead? Whatever your intention, Mr. Harper, you’re not doing yourself, or your party, any favours. </div> <div> Let’s start with the basics: According to a Conservative party spokesman, “Canada’s contribution to maternal and child health may include family planning. However, Canada’s contribution will not include funding abortion.” [<A HREF="http://www.thestar.com/top%20stories/article/800755" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.thestar.com/top%20stories/art"><U>http://www.thestar.com/top%20stories/article/800755</U></A>] First off, <I>may</I> include family planning? Maternal and child health are nearly impossible <I>without</I> family planning of some kind. Women’s ability to take care of ourselves and our families depends on our ability to control our fertility. Second (and listen closely, Mr. Harper, because I get the feeling you weren’t paying attention the first 500 or so times you were told this), <I>abortion is family planning</I>. It’s not a separate category. Like contraception, it allows women to decide whether to have children. I think what your MPs were trying to say is that Canada’s contribution will involve the types of family planning that you approve of, and that aren’t too expensive, and that don’t upset your delicate conservative sensibilities. </div> <div> Abortion is a last resort. It’s used only when something has gone wrong, when other methods have failed, or weren’t available in the first place. No one – least of all low-income women in the developing world – is having abortions just for fun. We have abortions because it is <I>absolutely necessary</I>, for us or for our families. When abortion is legally, geographically or financially inaccessible, women die. This is what you have committed yourself to. You and your party are allowing women to die because a necessary medical procedure doesn’t sit right with your ideology. I hope you’re proud of yourselves. </div> <div> I doubt that Senator Ruth had your blessing when she told Canadian women’s groups to <A HREF="http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2010/05/03/abortion-maternal.html?ref=rss#socialcomments" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2010/05"><U>http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2010/05/03/abortion-maternal.html?ref=rss#socialcomments</U></A> about abortion, lest you and your cronies turn this into an Issue, but she was right, wasn’t she?

The message was clear: shut up, or we’ll shut you up for good. </div> <div> You know what? I dare you. Make this an election issue. Ignatieff would love that. Your stance on reproductive rights has held you back from gaining a majority in Parliament so far, and if you push it any further, you won’t even have a government. Personally, I’d be fine with that. </div> <div> You know this, of course, which is why you’ve always stopped short of an attack on Canadian women’s reproductive rights, and which is why you’re cutting funding left and right instead of engaging in any sort of debate. Senator Ruth, for all her lack of tact or compassion, was right about another thing: this isn’t about Canadian women’s health. It’s about the health of women who are far less fortunate, and far more vulnerable. Unfortunately, it turns out that women don’t just get angry when our own rights are being violated. We get angry about human rights violations, like, all the time! Even when the people affected are in other countries! You made this an issue, and the Canadian people are going to hold you accountable. </div> <div> As a Canadian, I’m ashamed to have a prime minister who thinks women matter less than the contents of our uterus. I’m ashamed to have a government that thinks it can intimidate women into submission. I’m ashamed that, with Canada’s reputation for humanitarian work, you think that it’s acceptable to pick and choose the types of medical care that disadvantaged women are allowed to receive. This is a disgrace. Feminists around the world are beginning to hear about it, and you continue to dig yourself deeper and deeper. </div> <div> If there’s one thing I can promise you, Mr. Harper, it’s that we will absolutely not shut the fuck up. </div> <div> Sincerely,</div> <div> Brett K</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>April 24, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Pharmacy's make lots of money, too much infact</B></div> <div>      Here in Orillia a town of 33,000 we have 12 pharmacy's.

When a pharmacy can mark up Lipitor 300% and other drugs by as much as 5000% they should stop crying about getting only $7 to count out 30 pills plus a markup.</div> <div> Give me a break and give your heads a shake.</div> <div>      Scroll down to Mar. 28, 2010 and check out my investigation of this industry. While I did it 5 years ago it is still relevant.</div> <div> I have more choice where I buy my medications than I do to buy groceries. More choice to buy medications than to buy cars or just about any other product. So spare me the tears. Pharmacy's have the volume and they have extra ordinary markups on a huge variety of product that is sold. Not to mention the $700,000,000 they share just for being in business.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <B>April 17, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Bingo! Every County Councillor Carries the Stink</B></div> <div>      Month after month I have been telling people about what is happening in Simcoe County. Back last August 28 I wrote two stories trying to get people's attention. It was obvious that the Guergis clan who held so much power here in Simcoe County had gone out of control. Tony had betrayed his constituents on Site 41 without a twinge of conscience. Tony's brother was attempting and still is to destroy  Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority claiming it wasn't working. Why? It could have had something to do with his wife not being able to develop some flood plane land that the Conservation Authority was stopping.</div> <div>      Even today a conservation authority review sub-committee has been formed to study these environmental safety mechanisms which is  nothing more than a precursor to shutting them down. Members of this group includes  Warden Cal Patterson, Ramara Deputy Mayor Basil Clarke, Essa Mayor David Guergis, Oro-Medonte Mayor Harry Hughes, Collingwood Deputy Mayor Alicia Savage, Severn Mayor Phil Sled. Tiny Mayor Peggy Breckenridge. The group is led by David Guergis and Harry Hughes mayor of Oro/Medonte. There is no doubt in my mind that a large majority of county councillors are in favour of the plans this group has for these environmental safety groups as they are of most scams.</div> <div>      Today the Toronto Star finally looked at a letter that we had knowlege of which Helena had written to her cousin Tony as Warden and county council flogging a company  called Wright Tech Systems Inc. as being one that the county might want to do business with. This letter was in the public domain and I had been questioning along with others why she would be involved.  <a href="HTMLobj-2065/Guergis_Letter.pdf"><u>Guergis_Letter.pdf</u> </a>  Today we know why. Her husband was involved with this company in some capacity. I tried to let people know that public business in Simcoe County is run for the transfer of public monies to private pockets. My attempt to show how organized crime works seems had fallen on deaf ears. Well, today people will have to turn up their hearing aides or get new batteries. The stink is getting worse and it will not be long before we will have those Forensic Audits and Judicial Inquiry's. I have point blank stated how the tentacles of organized crime reaches every corner of Simcoe County. I post many thoughts on the Site 41 blog and have been very critical of them censoring my posts. But it was not just me they censored as I began to find out. So even the good guys have been compromised by the tentacles. Here is what I wrote to one person who asked a question on her post. The gatekeeper at the blog didn't like my answer so it was not allowed.</div> <div> Her question was,  how to go about lodging a request for Forensic Audits and Judicial Inquiry.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Michelle go to the link <A HREF="http://speakingout.biz/id23.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://speakingout.biz/id23.htm"><U>http://speakingout.biz/id23.htm</U></A></div> <bR> <div> Read Issue 10, 11 and 12 about an investigation I initiated and my complaint was swept under the table back then. But I didn't give up and still believe this complaint will bare fruit. Years later this same mayor has been forced off the Police Services Board and is under investigation for his attempt to interfere with a police investigation. As that investigation proceeds they will look at this land deal. As the Guergis connection is investigated it will lead back to this same mayor as well. That will open other doors and one day in the not too distant future we will have action. The fall of Guergis, Guergis and Guergis will topple their underground organization that the likes of our mayor belongs to along with a majority of other mayors in Simcoe County.</div> <div> If you are serious about making change then you need to organize. We need to defeat the dragon which really has 32 heads. Cutting one or two off will do nothing because the dragon can live very nicely with 17 heads. We can't pick or choose simply because the heads have all played good guy at one time or other. We need to get a clear majority on County Council and then let the honest members deal with the 15 left. Sorry long story but I would be pleased to speak with you or anyone else who is genuine in making change happen. No one says it's easy but most worthwhile things are not.</div> <div> speakingout@speakingout.biz 705-327-5717</div> <div> jim Tolnai</div> <bR> <div> If I gave you a 77 unit apartment building completly paid forand infact even some spare change would you be willing to lower the rent you collect by 20% from market value? And to pay some of your operating costs like property taxes on top of the FREE building for say 10 years would you think that was a good deal? So how would you feel if I gave it to someone else and had you pay for it? Well folks that is exactly what this deal is all about. I equate this deal to winning a $10,000,000 lottery. Wonder what the ticket cost????</div> <div>  Folks pay attention. Tens of millions of dollars of your hard earned money and more is gone on many of these deals that make no sense. Here is an example of one deal that made no sense nor makes sense for taxpayers. This deal is one of the last ones that involved Tony Guergis as County Warden in partnership with the Orillia branch of the Organization. Read it again in the context of what you know about Helena her husband the Guergis clan today and  mayor Stevens record over the last 10 years.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Dec. 22, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>I Smell a Rotten Deal for Taxpayers</B></div> <div>      Last weeks announcement of a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$9,200,000</B></FONT> windfall for a developer who will be building what is referred to as Affordable housing some say is a good thing. But when one does the numbers on what taxpayers are getting for their money it smells real rotten. The owners of the Barrie Rd. property a former industrial site which has yet to be cleaned up  have managed to score a gift of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$9,200,000</B></FONT> from federal and provincial taxpayers. They also have scored up to another <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$1,540,000</B></FONT> from Orillia taxpayers over the next 10 years. But when you do the numbers it is one of the most blatant giveaways of taxpayers money I have ever seen or heard of. This my friends is of Pinocchio Scandal quality tax money waste.</div> <div>      The proposal is to build 77 apartment units that will be leased at 70% of current Orillia rents. This reduction amounts to a saving for the tenant of</div> <div> $150.. mo. 1 Bedroom</div> <div> $176   mo. 2 Bedroom</div> <div> $182   mo. 3 Bedroom</div> <div> For the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$9,200,000</B></FONT> the landlord will keep the rent ratio for 20 years at which time who knows what will happen as these units while paid for by tax dollars remain privately owned. I suppose in 20 years the owner will receive another subsidy as poverty will not be eradicated and indeed might even be worse by then. Much is being said about how wonderful this gift to a single developer is for the poor but I disagree. One only has to do the numbers to see how  the only people who lose are the needy and of course taxpayers. Once more the poor and taxpayers are carrying the burden for the greed of the rich.</div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Arial" >     So let's do some calculations. </FONT>Forty of the 77 subsidized units will be dedicated to seniors, 25 for the disabled and 12 for individuals and families of limited means. The average reduction in rent for each apartment from market cost will be a mere <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$169.00</B></FONT> per month. If you take 20 years which equals 240 months and multiply that by 77 apartments times the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$169.00</B></FONT> that equals a mere <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$3,123,1200</B></FONT> in subsidized rents for the poor. But the cost to the taxpayer is <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$9,200,000</B></FONT>. Three times more than what the poor receive in rent subsidy.</div> <div>      So how on earth can this be construed as a good deal for the poor, disabled or seniors ??? Not to mention for the taxpayer??? Sorry folks but this is a terrible deal. This represents a transfer of public money for nothing on a scale unseen in Orillia to date. For <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$9,200,000</B></FONT> we could have three times the units for the next 20 years by simply subsidizing market price rents for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>231</B></FONT> units. Don't forget that the developers obligation for this rent ratio ends at the end of year 20 years. At which time he can put his hand out for more tax money or start renting at market price while dislodging the poor anyway. For anyone to call this a wonderful deal they obviously did not do their homework. But the subsidy doesn't end there for the landlord. You see, he will realize another windfall of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$20,000</B></FONT> times 77 units which is another <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$1,540,000</B></FONT> in forgiven property tax which will be paid by Orillia taxpayers over the next 10 years. Simply put this deal does very little to address the need for affordable housing while reaping huge unwarranted profits for the developers and their friends???? </div> <div>       So let's recap. <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$9,200,000</B></FONT> plus <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$1,540,000 </B></FONT>equals <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$10,740,000</B></FONT> of taxpayers money poured into a privately owned development. A very poor use of public money. Once more folks we need a Forensic Audit of this deal. It is a poor excuse for public spending. But hey i guess Santa came early for this developer if this happens???? Wonder if it's too late to stop this outrage???? </div> <div>      I did a bit of digging to find out what a project like this could be built for when I saw the $15,000,000 to $16,000,000 price tag. Here is a project that was built in Ottawa. I know it was back in 1995 but the cost per square foot is what is important. </div> <div>  </div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="671" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 362 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="6841ab60.jpg" border=0 width="282" height="182" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="378"><div> Synopsis</div> <div> The Conservation Co-op located in downtown Ottawa is an example of a “green” multi-unit building.

If this mayor and city management have a hand in it, one can automatically assume there is something wrong with it and the numbers prove that indeed that is the fact. This is another project that simply stinks. </div> <div>      On top of all this evidence that this project is not in the best interest of the poor or taxpayers I have heard or seen nothing which shows that the site is being cleaned of any hazardous materials. You see folks when the first building was built by this developer, council allowed for the property to be divided. At that time all contaminated soil was pushed over to the eastern lot. For the first 3 years almost nothing could grow on this land and now they want to build on it??? Will this former industrial property be cleaned to a standard that allows residential???? Where is the MOE in this story???? Are they allowing this building to be built on a former industrial site without cleanup???? Don't believe me, but please believe what you find if you check out this project. Make yourself heard as someday one of you or many of you might end up living there. So why are the politicians doing this deal???? Can't they do the math??? Follow the money folks.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div> This deal is a prime example of Stevens' and at least some councillors along with senior city managements involvement with the Guergis/County branch of the organization. This is a deal that the RCMP along with the Auditor General of Canada and the OPP will be now obliged to investigate. The time has come for Orillia couincil's honest members to demand an explanation publicly for all that has gone on and is going on right now. Any councillor who doesn't take what is going on seriously will be painted with the same brush. I said in these pages over six years ago that the truth will come out one day. Skeptics didn't listen so the road has been lonely. But today this story is so huge that the authorities will not be able to sweep it under the carpet any longer as they did with the land behind Walmart deal. There is a wealth of information for investigators in these pages and I welcome them using it. I will also welcome them if they wish to have my help. I will be happy to direct them not only to funny deals but people who have more information than I have been able to use here. Yup! it won't be long now before the rocks will be turned over exposing the slime that has ruled for way too long.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>April 16, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>"All we want are the facts, ma'am"?</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> In todays Orillia Packet and Times </div> <div> MICHAEL DEN TANDT  writes "Guergis affair derails any real debate".</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF=" http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2537188" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDis"><U> http://www.orilliapacket.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2537188</U></A></div> <bR> <div> After reading this story and scratching my head the only reasonable and sensible reply is:</div> <bR> <div> Dear Michael</div> <bR> <div> But the cocaine found in Jaffer's pocket is first hand confirmation of the fourth hand information giving this story gams up to the whazooo.

Thus, it is often necessary to corrupt some of its respected members, most commonly achieved through bribery, blackmail, and the establishment of symbiotic relationships with legitimate businesses. Judicial and police officers and legislators are especially targeted for control by organized crime via bribes. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_c"><U>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime</U></A></div> <div> Organized crime loves the garbage business and will do just about anything to keep the status quo. </div> <div>      It's Mob Economics 101: Find a business that's easy to enter and lucrative to control. Criminal organizations make lots of money from drugs, human trafficking, and counterfeit goods, but creating a monopoly on garbage collection is attractive because the business itself is legal, and public contracts return big profits. Compared with something like running a casino or grocery store, the logistics of taking trash from Point A to Point B are a no-brainer. Anyone with a truck and a couple of strong guys can make good money, and there's always a demand for the service.</div> <div>    Criminal organizations elsewhere in the world also find profit in trash schemes.

Wake up folks a spade is a spade . Garbage is just the tip of the iceburg in Simcoe County/Orillia. Don't forget the most dangerous part of an iceberg is not what is above water but what lurks below. Let's all embrace a thorough investigation of the goings on in Simcoe County and Orillia these last ten years. Truth is there are no stupid decisions being made. The decisons are made knowingly with one objective in mind by those who push for it. There are only desicions that some one gains from and others lose. Unfortunately because of weak councillors in Orillia and County wide, we the people seem to be on the losing side more often than not the last ten years. Without weak and lazy councillors the minority on council, those responsible for pushing could not succeed in passing these (stupid ) desicions. <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" >See March 30 and April 09 stories below</FONT>.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>April 14, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Seems Charities Pay Big Money</B></div> <div>      Today's Globe and Mail had an interesting piece on charity CEO compensation. I wrote about three charities right here in the sunshine town last month. I have been livid about how the Sharing Place, Community Foundation and a home based charity called the Native Children's Foundation of Canada pay themselves for operating. It is a disgrace what these outfits do not spend on charitable giving. It is a disgrace when the Foundation spends $799,000 to give away a mere $200,000. It is a disgrace to see hundreds of thousands being spent on salaries and questionable expenses while the needy get a fraction of what is given. </div> <div>      I was pleased to see the Globe article <A HREF="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/six-figure-salaries-the-norm-at-top-charities/article1533823/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/nati"><U>Six Figure Compensation</U></A>. It is time that these people were outed so that people's generosity will no longer be taken for granted. The Heart and Stroke spends 50% of donations on salaries. This is outrageous. In fact Sick kids hospital paid it's former CEO 2.7 million dollars for 2008.  There are some who defend this practice.</div> <div> "I have yet to be convinced [excessive compensation] is a serious problem within our sector," said Mark Blumberg, a Toronto lawyer who specializes in charity law".  Well surprise! surprise! that this guy defends high salaries. Wonder how much he dings charities for representing them as their lawyer who specializes in "charity law"?</div> <div>      Folks read the Globe story that I have left a link for. And make sure that before you give do your due diligence. Remember if you give a dollar in many cases the needy will be lucky to end up getting as little as 10 cents. I hope that the private members bill before parliament will pass and there will be more reporting on what money is actually going for. Hundreds of millions have been donated for Haiti relief with very little actually going for the people. But we can be assured that those running these so called charities are being looked after. I for one am very selective as to whom I give to. When I check out a charity that asks for support I ask questions. It's amazing how quickly they hang up and move on hoping to find a sucker.</div> <div>      Next time you meet Don Evans from the Sharing Place ask him to show you his pay stub and expense account. If he takes exception then you take exception by finding a different way to help those who need it. For people like Evans it seems charity begins at home. Don claims being on council is a full time job because he works so hard?? So his $50 plus thousand must be for part time work for the Sharing Place then? Nice work if you can get it. Disgraceful. </div> <div>      Our family as of last Christmas now purchase food and make boxes for people in need. They do not have to go through embarrassing questioning and get rejected for no reason. We go out into the community and find people in need. Not hard to find as almost everyone knows a hardship case. Believe me it is a wonderful feeling. Instead of paying the Don Evans we save our money and buy prepaid grocery cards and give them along with the groceries to those who need the hand up. That gives the people the feeling of independence and if they want to treat themselves, then good on them. So folks look into being a direct doner and make every cent count.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>April 11, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <U>Helena Guergis demands a byelection</U><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> An excerpt from Bill C-408, a Private Members' <A HREF="http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=2333718&Language=e&Mode=1" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications"><U>Bill</U></A> co-sponsored by none other than the <STRIKE>Honourable</STRIKE> Member for Simcoe Grey:</div> <div> <B>21.1 </B>(1) If a member of the House of Commons leaves the political party to which that member belonged when the member was elected to the House of Commons, that member shall sit in the House of Commons as an independent for a period of 35 days.</div> <bR> <div> (2) Once the period of 35 days has elapsed, the member’s election to the House of Commons shall become void, the seat of that member shall be vacated, and a writ shall be issued for the election of a member to fill the vacancy.</div> <bR> <div> (3) The vacating member may run for the seat as the candidate for another political party or as an independent</div> <div> Now that the <STRIKE>Honourable</STRIKE> Member has <A HREF="http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Guergis/2788792/story.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Guergi"><U>left</U></A> the political party to which that member belonged when that member was elected, I wonder if she still feels the same way?</div> <bR> <div> After all, in the <A HREF="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1119042547702_14/?hub=Canada" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/st"><U>words</U></A> of the <STRIKE>Honourable</STRIKE> Member, "It's about democracy, it's about integrity (and) restoring voter confidence." </div> <bR> <div> Let's see if this woman will do as she says others should do or do as she pleases?

Here is what I wrote last Aug.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Aug. 30, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Guergis Family Politics Affect Orillia and Ramara</B></div> <div>      There was a very good story written by Joe Friesen in the Globe and Mail. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/site-41/article1269368/</div> <div> Joe writes about the Guergis Family Simcoe County political Dynasty.</div> <div> "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>The Guergis family is the closest thing to royalty in Simcoe County politics. Tony is the mayor of Springwater and the thrice-elected warden of the county. His brother Dave is the mayor of neighboring Essa Township, a member of county council and a loyal dump supporter. Their cousin Helena Guergis is the local MP, and her sister Christine is a town councillor in New Tecumseth</B></FONT>". </div> <div>       For those in Orillia and immediate area who think the political welfare of the Guergis' doesn't effect you think again. If you think that our very own Bruce Stanton under orders won't put the self interest of Helena Guergis ahead of his own ridings' interest then you would be wrong. The reach of this family is deep and goes North, South East and West in Simcoe County. Their grip on the local Conservative Party is so tight that if you are a Conservative and have any desire to move up the chain you know to ask how high when asked to jump????</div> <div>      Here in Ramara Township. we have had for over 50 years Lake St. John Airport. It has served Orillia and area's aviation industry and served it very effectively. Thousands of flights land annually every year from destinations far and wide. International flights from as far away as Mexico but mostly from the USA. For as long as anyone can remember including MP Bruce Stanton , Orillia's airport has been a Custom's Clearance facility. Planes could leave the USA and fly directly to Lake St. John and be cleared by customs right here at Orillia's very own international airport. When a flight plan is made or via radio once in the air customs agents can be notified on the planes ETA and will come out to clear it through Customs. For the 50 or so years the airport has been in operation this has worked quite successfully. This service has allowed a convenience that the many customers of Orillia Aviation who bring their planes for service from the States or bring all those US cottagers, fishermen and hunters who fly in for recreation and holidays to clear customs right here. Wonderful service and much appreciated by those who use it.</div> <div>      A few weeks ago Bruce Stanton sent out one of those political flyers which is paid for by taxpayers but is really campaign literature by another name. In this flyer Bruce tells us how his government will be investing hundreds of millions in Canadian airports and what wonderful job he and the Harper Conservatives are doing. Now it is important to note that Lake St. John Airport has not and does not receive federal funding. It is privately owned and operated. It either makes it on it's own or will go out of business. For over 50 years it has done it quite successfully. </div> <div>      But the airport in Collingwood which is in the riding of Helena Guergis has other ambitions. Helena whose political star is fading fast in Simcoe County due to what her cousins are doing on the County and municipal level needs a boost of fortune. Helena's fortunes are also waning because of money's authorized by her Ministry that was granted for recreation fields for a private school in Collingwood. To add insult to injury Collingwoods request for funds for public facilities was turned down. So it is not surprising that her fortunes needed a boost. But how does one boost those fortunes???/</div> <div>      Well you see along comes the Collingwood Airport which wants to have that which Orillia's Airport has had all these years. But there is a problem. Problem is that there is only one Airport with this customs clearance allowed in Simcoe County. But Helena needs the boost so the orders go out to Bruce to act in the interest of Helena and her riding to the detriment of his own riding??? That folk's would be us. You see Bruce approached our airport and asked it to give up it's customs designation voluntarily in favour of Helena's riding. Hmmmm! He was turned down in no uncertain terms and he left empty handed. But for how long???? What happens now that the power of the Guergis' is being denied???? I suppose push will be coming to shove but we will have to wait and see. For now the customs designation stays but I am sure Bruce is feeling the Guergis pressure not unlike those people who are opposing Site 41.</div> <div>      What I am so disappointed in, is Bruce Stanton. Clearly he put the political interest of Helena Guergis ahead of the economic interest of Orillia and area. So, for those who think that Guergis family politics don't affect us here think again. Their tight control of Simcoe County Conservatives is spread throughout the County. Of course it's not all the Guergis' fault as there are lined up those paying homage to them. Guys like Bruce and other Conservative wanabees ready to do their bidding. Too bad. Come on Bruce you work for us not for the Guergis' or do you?????? What other local businesses have been undermined for the benefit of the Guergis political dynasty or other high ranking Conservatives in other ridings?????</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div>      I also wrote in a very clear story about Tony Guergis her cousin. When one looks at her behavior and her family members behavior it is obvious at least to me that things are not right. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Aug. 28, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Tony Guergis the Man Who Would be King?????</B></div> <div>      Throughout history men like Tony Guergis dream of ultimate power. Many a restless night is spent dreaming of untold riches and power over their domain and everyone in it. Men like this will do and say anything to get it. They are without conscience and can get physically aggressive if they feel threatened with losing their power. Men like these simply don't care who they hurt in their quest to get control with power and money being their god. </div> <div>      So I decided to do some digging into this man Tony Guergis, who fancies himself as King and ruler of all before him. Is Tony a smart man??? Is Tony a caring man??? Is Tony an honest man??? Is Tony capable of love??? Is Tony capable of caring for anyone but himself and his own interest???  What I have found was a man who seems to be incapable of caring for those in his community and one who is incapable of accepting disent to his autocratic rule. I found a man who so easily lies, that one must watch him with extra care in order to glimpse the tell tale signs in his body language. The signs are there but I must admit he is good at fooling most. Tony is incapable of being honest and a square shooter as his behaviour and lies have proven over and over again. He is self centered and in his universe there is no one that even comes close in his thoughts and feelings for himself. Tony's biggest fan is Tony. Power and money are his real love and he manages to squander both. In short the man can not be depended on or trusted.</div> <div>      So it amazes me that he managed to get himself elected not only as mayor of Springwater Township but as Simcoe County Warden twice. For you see Tony is a personal walking financial mess. He is a man who has stiffed creditors to the tune of  $389,842. That's right this man who would be King couldn't handle his personal finances and in 2004 he went bankrupt. This man whom all the mayors and Deputy mayors of the 16 municipalities which make up Simcoe County entrusted our cookie jar to. Not once but twice. Simcoe County has an annual budget of some <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$450,000,000.</B></FONT> To put Tony Guergis in charge of that seems to me a disaster looking for a place to happen. I can't for the life of me  understand why these people would choose a man to run our financial affairs when he can not run his own????? Did these people who made Tony King know of his financial prowess or lack of??? Surely of 32 sophisticated politicians who voted for him some must have known. After all one of them was his own brother. Was this vital and crucial information withheld from our representatives???? Or did they simply ignore the info and voted for Tony for some other reason. This makes no sense at all????? Or does it????? Here are the documents for your information.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="6ebd6e40.jpg" border=0 width="726" height="996" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Now for this list of creditors and amounts people were stiffed for.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="6ecd5e20.jpg" border=0 width="725" height="994" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="6edd0db0.jpg" border=0 width="720" height="987" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> It is beyond belief that these people who hold so much power over us would simply put such a man in charge unless there were deep dark reasons and they needed someone like Tony to do their dirty work. The following document is a list of contributors to Tony's election war chest for mayor of Springwater. You will notice the most generous contributors are from Toronto, Grimsby, Brampton, Innisfil and Barrie????? Hmmm! Now wouldn't it be interesting to see if any of the same contributors to Tony's campaign also gave sizeable donations to any of the other 31 mayoral candidates in Simcoe County. What would be even more interesting is if we find that those who actually voted for Tony to be Warden were the benefactors of campaign contributions themselves from Tony's contributors as well?????. Anyone up to finding out??????</div> <div>  <IMG SRC="6eec0c50.jpg" border=0 width="704" height="965" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Simply put this seems somewhat surreal doesn't. What I don't understand is why would these sophisticated politicians put their trust in a man who is a proven liar. Why would they put their trust in a man who betrays his supporters without a second thought???? Why would they put their trust in a man who has proven that he can not handle his personal finances??? Finally, why would they put their trust in this man who does not seem to have much of a conscience??? Are their numbers so lacking in good honourable people who can handle finances and has a conscience that Tony is the best of the lot????? But it goes on as Tony's wife also went bankrupt two years after him . But unlike Tony who claimed to have only <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$1,200</B></FONT> in assets his wife managed to claim well over $100,000 in assets and debt of about $250,000?????? Hmmm!</div> <div>      I wonder if any of these honourable????????? ladies and gentlemen would care to enlighten us on their thought process and reason for picking Tony Guergis as their leader. I wonder if those who voted for Tony knew that he would betray his constituents whom he promised, that if they elect him he would never vote to proceed with site 41???? Here is the you tube link for the video and audio where Tony Guergis makes his pledge to those who ended up being betrayed. <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8oAXNzl0WY" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8oAXNzl0"><U>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8oAXNzl0WY</U></A> When you watch and hear what this guy says and hear the applause there can be no doubt that Tony was lying knowing full well he was going to betray the suckers, who had the misfortune of believing him or that politicians can be taken at their word. For many thousands, Tony has proven that our political system must be made accountable for the blatant liars like him.</div> <div>      It looks to me like politics in Simcoe County and Orillia are mirror images of the other. Here in Orillia we have our very own Mayor Pinocchio and councillors like Lying Lauer. Here in Orillia millions of dollars of strange transactions happen that simply can not be explained. Cover up, lies, backroom deals are the norm for our politicians, the same as at the County level. It is obvious that we need a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Forensic Audit</B></FONT> and a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Judicial Inquiry</B></FONT> as to how our millions are being mishandled?????  Like here in Orillia where we have a growing movement to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=61258331784" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group."><U><B>Impeach Orillia Mayor Ron Stevens</B></U></A></FONT> there is a growing movement in Springwater Twshp. to remove Tony Guergis. We see a growing  movement to have Simcoe County council remove Tony as Warden, who will no doubt be sacrificed at the alter of greed, money and power. As the truth becomes known throughout Simcoe County municipalities, more and more citizens will demand investigations into the goings on within their own administrations and the connection of it to County Council. What is going on is simply not right and these people can no longer defend their behaviour.</div> <div>      I started looking into local Orillia politics about 8 years ago because of Ron Stevens. He accepted illegal campaign contributions from Orillia's largest developer. When caught he quickly wrote a cheque to the city refunding the illegal funds. He claimed he didn't realize it was illegal and had made a mistake, but since he paid out the funds everything was fine. Orillia's new council decided that indeed it was an honest mistake and would take no action. Imagine a man with 20 years of political experience being able to make an honest mistake???? Anyway that is how I began what has turned out to be a career of turning over rocks and finding useless slime under everyone of them. Site 41 is just the latest rock and it has way more slime under it but it is still the same slime DNA. There is a pattern and as I have connected the dots the picture has formed of just exactly how and why we are governed like we are. </div> <div> <B>New Jersey mayors, legislators, rabbis arrested in connection with money laundering, corruption</B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking-news/index.ssf/2009/07/new_jersey_mayors_legislators.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking"><U>http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking-news/index.ssf/2009/07/new_jersey_mayors_legislators.html</U></A></div> <div> Think these kinds of things only happen elsewhere???? Well! folks, welcome to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Elsewhere</B></FONT>. As each decision made by County Council took on a more and more erieeee! look of stupidity, it was showing more than dumbness on the part of our leaders. What it shows is the unraveling of control. You see these people have lost their scripts and forgot their lines. I don't believe for a minute that there isn't some form of collusion among at least a majority. Their campaigns for office and voting patterns don't make sense and prove that theory correct. Their holding to the script even though it was poorly written doesn't make sense. Tony's anger and surprise at losing the vote on the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009933" FACE="Arial" ><B>Moratorium</B></FONT> is interesting to see. County Councillors non reaction to the arrest of protestors and lack of outrage is interesting. Why, one councillor claimed that Tony and management are allowed to carry on because council only meets once a month???? Using that as an excuse for their incompetance?????</div> <div>      It's too bad that here in the political warm and fuzzy true north, strong and ????FREE???? we do not have an FBI. The stench that comes from the Site 41 decision as with the stench from so many municipal decisions throughout the county is becoming unbearable. The stench from the MURF / Molson deal in Orillia or the stench from the building of a $6,000,000 road to nowhere is becoming too much for many to bear. Yet the rot goes on aided and abetted by the courts, police and Queens Park. The vested interests who started  Site 41 more than 25 years ago when the process was deemed to be wrong want their payday. Think about this. There were 70 days of environmental hearings back at the begining and the site was found to be <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>unsuitable</B></FONT>. David Peterson a Liberal decided that he would over ride the hearings by issuing an Order in Council (another word for Dictatorship). From then on each and every government occupying Queens Park no matter what party claimed it was OK. Truth is it doesn't matter who is in power. All that matters is that the payoff takes place as planned.</div> <div>      People say to me they can't believe how stupid this or that politician is. I voted for him and he wasn't that stupid when he asked for my support???? Folks they aren't stupid. They are like actors in a play or motion picture. They are given a script and then directed in their performance. In Orillia the script writers are those who meet regularly at the law offices on Coldwater Rd. The director and the man who makes sure the script is stuck to is Boss Hogg Ian Brown. The same scenario is true for each of the 16 municipalities of Simcoe County. Each is assigned their parts and the County CAO brings the play together. But as in show business when there is a flop, so too is this Site 41 a flop. The backers, writers, producers and directors thought that the audience would hold their noses as they have so many times in the past. But instead, enough of us got up and walked out to disrupt the actors flow. As each of us left and the actors lost their place the show just got worse. As the show got worse more realized that they should ask for a refund. That is where we are today.</div> <div> <B>Organized Crime</B></div> <div> <B>Organized crime</B> or <B>criminal organizations</B> can be defined as a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>transnational</U></FONT> grouping of highly centralized enterprises run by <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>criminals</U></FONT> for the purpose of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for the purpose of generating a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>monetary</U></FONT> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>profit</U></FONT>.

I can assure the RCMP that there is an army of partnerships for them to hook up with. The people of Simcoe County don't need the RCMP to keep an eye on Organized Crime for us. We have been and are doing that just fine. What the almost 10,000 people of Simcoe County who are outraged at Site 41 and are waking up to reality need is the power and resources of our Federal Police to do a proper investigation. Site 41 is just the tip of the iceberg. There are endless leads that connect the Organized dots throughout our County. It has become so blatant that the investigators can leave their magnifying glasses at home. Will it ever happen???? Do pigs fly?????</div> <div> For all those who have woken up and smell the stink you are right. You have made a difference and if you stick together, you will be responsible for cleaning up what can only be seen as a corrupt system of government. It won't be easy, but through increased numbers of people who will no longer accept the norm we can help elect good people with clean hands. We can force the truth from under those rocks into the light of day.  Be a participant in your own governance and stop being a victim of it.

Whatever Helena is being investigated for most certainly is centered here in Simcoe County. So let's hope this investigation will be a good start on cleaning up the stink that permeates all Simcoe County politics including Orillia and area. I am confident that there is going to be a garbage connection to this story. Don't forget that Rahim is connected to a solid fuel from garbage scheme which Helena had been flogging. The Star article and subsequent news reports had made that connection.</div> <div>      So it is not surprising to me that right here in the Sunshine Town we have going on our own Garbagegate. The tentacles are everywhere when people like Stevens are involved. Why it was only two days ago I was asking for an investigation of Stevens in regards to the Police Board and his involvement in trying to influence police,  the courts and now will have the RCMP coming to look into corruption of one kind or another. I will say it again and again until people get it.

A simple majority of 5 councillors can end this tragic comedy once and for all. I have learned that Stevens has refused to sign the Mid-Ontario contract which was legally authorized by a majority of council. Yes I was assured from the highest levels that Stevens, whose signature is needed because of current rules refuses to sign a dully, legally binding order of council (he's prorouging???). Seems as with his participating in the Gay Pride flag raising which Stevens refused to participate in, council will have to order him with threat of or actual removal.</div> <div>      Stevens is claiming that he won't sign because of the threat of this non existing law suit. It is time for council do two things. </div> <div> One: Order the mayor to sign. If he doesn't? Remove him from the chair to be replaced by one of the eight. Yes it can and should be done. </div> <div> Two: Ian Brown and senior staff must be removed from this file. Council needs to hire an independent party to take over this mess which was created by staff and mayor in the first place. I have been informed that council was not informed nor voted to allow this insane tender document which tried to break up the collection of garbage into two parts. For 39 years the tendering process was working well. Staff/mayor decided to pull a fast one on council by putting out this tender form which makes no sense. Because the tender made no sense council legally refused to accept it. So blame has to be put not on councillors but on the mayor, Ian Brown and other senior staff. I know the reason why this fast one was pulled and it was not for honourable purpose. This was done simply to open the garbage cookie jar for other parties.</div> <div>      Council has but one choice. Get the contract signed and stop playing games. The person hired to clean up this mess be given authority to sit down with Mid-Ontario to present a united front with the city becoming co-plaintive's in a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Miller Waste as defendant. Miller's behavior of threatening legal action is unacceptable to the independence of our governance and whom the City of Orillia chooses to do business with. Miller has crossed the line as there is law dating back to the 1400's  <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortious_interference" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortious_in"><U>Tortious interference of business</U></A> . The same law also should apply to mayor who wants to put the city in harms way by refusing to sign the contract and senior city staff who are advising the contract not be signed. They belong in the action as they have failed to get this matter dealt with to date and are now interfering with this legal duly awarded contract themselves as would any councillor who would vote to reverse this decision. Council must go after a very high punitive amount and 100% of costs. This nonsense that mayor and Brown have put this town through these long ten years must cease and desist once and for all. To date these people (mayor and senior staff) have cost Orillia taxpayers tens of millions of wasted taxes on their harebrained schemes. If council follows  this route they will go out in a blaze of glory at the end of their term. If they dick around with this they will go out as bums.</div> <div>      I believe that if this contract is not honoured by these councillors the people of Orillia have a very good cause of action against every councillor personally who votes against signing this legally awarded contract. Mid-Ontario has a much more solid case for damages against the city than Miller Waste could ever have.. So Joe Fecht, mayor, Speers, Lauer and which ever councillor decides to be #5 & 6 and cause the Tortious interference of business, you will be held financially accountable personally by 30,000 very disgruntled citizens. Any damages will be directly and knowingly caused by yourselves which could be construed as malicious as well. I have consulted with a class Action Law Firm and am told that we the citizens of Orillia will have a legitimate and winnable case for damages not only against Miller Waste but against each and every councillor, mayor and staff who would knowingly bring such harm on us. Enough is enough. Get back to work and finish your terms with at least one sane decision.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>April 08,2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Organized Criminals Connected to Jaffer/Guergis???</B></div> <div>      Well! well! well???

So here we have the husband of Conservative Minister Helena Guergis cutting deals with some pretty bad folks. By extension Helena as wife and Harper as her boss who is protecting her are now tied to a known wise guy who is facing a battery of criminal charges for a number of frauds across Canada. Is anyone surprised? I know I'm not. </div> <div>      So here we are in Orillia having a mayor who tried to intervene in a police investigation and getting away with it? Our own Police  have done nothing and is doing nothing not unlike the Halton OPP whose hands were tied with Jaffer. Come on folks, don't let Stevens and his puppets get away with this. Don't forget that Lauer and Speers are on the board two Stevens yes men. This is not right. One can only assume collusion and closed door deals have been made to let Stevens off the hook. As the air clears on the Guergis and Jaffer matter we need to pressure our own law enforcement to arrange for an investigation of the Police Board and it's members. Not by them but by an independent police service with civilian over site to make sure it is done properly. Just because Stevens resigns from the board does not exonerate him from what he did. The lack of action by the board and police just does not pass the smell test. Only in Orillia???? Not only, but it seems always in Orillia???</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <div> <B>Mar. 30, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Council Paints Us Into Corner??? Not</B></div> <div>      Last night saw council pull from it's bag of tricks a classic Three Stooges skit. It would be funny but it is we who will actually be poked in the wallet and pay the price of financial pain. I have been watching this comedy but there is little to laugh about. Garbagegate has hit the fan.</div> <div>      Miller Waste came before council last night asking that they change their mind about changing their mind with the threat of litigation. You see city management setup council to fail on the garbage collection tender. For some hair brain reason the tender was drawn up separating solid waste from recycled collection. It didn't make sense and still does not make sense. That leaves me to believe there is skullduggery taking place.</div> <div>      Miller waste has been trying to break into the Orillia garbage market for years. Local boy Doug Rowe whose father first started collecting city trash almost 40 years ago has been doing a good job. Miller Waste has never been able to grab the contract simply because Doug has his infrastructure already in place locally. He simply can bid less because his setup on Kitchener St. has long been paid for. Miller would either have to truck recyclables a long way or build their own facility. Now can you imagine any neighborhood allowing a waste facility in town? Of course not. So that begs the question of which of these geniuses in city management proposed the splitting of the tender? But even a better question is why???</div> <div>      If anyone cares to check there is much controversy surrounding Miller Waste and the County of Simcoe. Speak to people about Miller Waste involved with stopping site 41 and you will get a totally different picture of this company than the one presented last night. Miller Waste and the Association they belong to but, which Mid Ontario does not want council to change their mind and take the contract away from Mid Ontario which, has already been awarded. That's right folks, two weeks ago council awarded the contract. Doug signed it and his surety was accepted. Only formality is that staff have not bothered to sign it as yet. Wonder why they have not signed this contract? Did Brown's pen run out of ink? Look how fast they sign deals like the library and MURF.</div> <div>      This Garbagegate looks like a setup, smells like a setup and is most likely a setup. This deal stinks more than the garbage does on the hottest summer day. Lauer yapped on last night about all the back seat lawyers on council. He wants a meeting with city lawyers because they are the authority that should be listened to. I must point out that these are the same lawyers who according to Lauer advised on the Molson land transfer deal should be accepted. These are the same lawyers who advised the city that our Coalition could never win in court on the MURF and lost (costing $125,000 in legal fees?). These are the same lawyers who advised that the city appeal the decision the Coalition won on the same case and lost once more (costing ????). Now folks when I say they lost it actually means the taxpayer lost as this same law firm was still paid regardless. This is the same law firm that has advised the city there is nothing to worry about with the DOMB challenge. Finally, this is the same law firm who advised the city on the Allan Millard defamation case. When all Allan asked was for an apology and that would have been the end of it. Sure Ian Brown would have been embarrassed, but it would have cost nothing (except the fees they collected for the advice). These lawyers assured Brown and the mayor that Millard would never prevail. Brown's attempt to save face ended up costing you and I $27,000 plus whatever these front seat lawyers were paid. Makes one wonder who the real backseat lawyers really are?</div> <div>      So if Miller Waste has a case against the city (which they don't) for not awarding this tender to them, then imagine how good a case Mid Ontario has after being awarded the tender and it is pulled from them? Like always the sneaks at city hall are trying to nail the door shut  in that painted corner claiming that Mid Ontario has no contract because staff have not signed it as yet. One more of many great examples of behavior that needs the scrutiny of a <B>Judicial Inquiry</B> and <B>Forensic Audit</B> going all the way back to day one that Ron Stevens planted his ass into the chair as head of council. This man has been a disaster for taxpayers and a boon for those who benefit from our public monies. I compliment those councillors who held to their convictions and were not scared off. You have been setup by city management and mayor, not unlike all the other setups whether it be the MURF, library, Second Last Call and dozens of others. Stick with this and de-throne Stevens and the real power behind him <B>Ian Brown</B>. Call for an investigation on this outrageous matter along with all the tens of millions that has been wasted in the last 9 years and you will find paint under their finger nails and behind their ears. I use the politically correct word "wasted" but you know what I mean don't you?</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <div> <B>Mar. 28, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Drug Price Gouging</B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >     I was watching the news show W5 today on CTV. Their lead story was about </FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Pills, Patients and Profits </B></FONT><A HREF="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20100326/w5_pills_100326/20100327?s_name=W5" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/st"><U>W5 Link</U></A> . I was pleased to see that finally</div> <div> a News Organization decided to expose the drug industry for their gouging. Way back in Nov. of 2005 I did some investigating of drug prices at the retail level. You see I had bypass surgery in the summer and left the hospital with a mitt full of prescriptions. While we have a drug plan it is limited to $1,000 per year. Even with the limit I need to pay the first 20% and once the thousand is used up within a calendar year I have to pay the balance.</div> <div>      Anyway I questioned why these drugs are so expensive. In answers to my questions I was told that some drugs cost as much as a billion dollars to R&D. Naturally I didn't believe that and today's W5 story confirmed my belief. Folks after you read this story please watch this show either on line or when it is re-broadcast. My research back in 2005 proved that not only are the drug manufacturers gouging but the drug stores are no slouches themselves. After doing my due diligence I suddenly understood why the owners and pharmacists are always in such a good mood. It's because they see big dollar signs tattooed on your forehead. </div> <div>      After seeing this show today I decided to bring back my story for you to see not just what the drug companies are doing to us but what the dispensers (gatekeepers) are getting away with themselves.  Now I don't know much about the illegal drug industry but I would bet that no self respecting corner dealer would ever have the nerve to mark up his product to the tune of thousands of percent like the pharmaceutical industry does. I am sure most of you missed this story back in 2005 but I urge you to please read what I found out. While people right here in Orillia are literally dying financially and some physically because they can not afford needed medication the industry makes obscene profits. The figures below are from 2005 but pricing has become even worse since then, according to W5. You will notice in my story from back then I put the blame on the likes of Mulroney and even wrote of as yet unelected Bruce Stanton being complicit. After today's story I now know that Bruce did not give a rat's ass back then, nor does he today. </div> <div>      If any of you have some stories about your own drug cost nightmares please let me know and I will post them here. While the politicians and civil servants are fully covered most people right here in Orillia are not. I can't imagine how a parent who has a child with cancer feels when the drug which would help his/her child is up to $4,000 per month. Yes there are many life saving drugs which are many thousands per month. Please read the story and then watch the W5 show. Don't forget that right here in Orillia SMH now has a full time cancer clinic for children. Don't wait to become outraged until you yourselves are victims of this industry.</div> <div>      </div> <div>     </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Nov. 27, 2005</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Election Thoughts</B></div> <div>      Well it looks like a winter election is imminent brought on unnecessarily by Harper and Layton along with their "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>separatist</B></FONT>" ally's. I certainly don't understand the reason except that these two leaders think they will somehow gain a political advantage. Claiming the people are wanting an election which is far from the truth and polls taken neither one of these two or their caucus gives a "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>rats ass</B></FONT>" about what you want. They smelled blood and we now have to have a winter election even though Martin has said he would call an election in March. </div> <div> Our local Conservative (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Reform</B></FONT>) candidate Bruce Stanton wrote a letter to the editor to try and get some "free press" claiming the coming election is the fault of the Liberals because they (Liberals) would not be blackmailed. You see the spin they want you to believe is that because Martin wouldn't agree to call an election for a date chosen by the "unholly" three they were then forced into calling for a non confidence vote to force the election. If this behaviour is an example of Bruce Stanton's and the Conservative (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Reforms</B></FONT>) honesty then do they really deserve our trust???</div> <div>      The coming election has now prompted me to take a closer look and write on issues that have bothered me for a long time. Today I will call to your attention an issue that affects every man woman and child in this riding. I am talking about prescription drugs. You see the cost of prescription drugs here in Canada is a disgrace. I have been doing some investigating because the Conservatives (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Reform</B></FONT>) want your support and I believe that it was the Conservatives under Brian Mulroney and their ministers like Doug Lewis who are responsible for these outrageous costs. Of course Bruce Stanton was a supporter of the Mulroney government so the following is his shame as well. </div> <div>      You may remember Mulroney and his government changed the generic medicine laws and gave drug manufacturers extended years to protect their patents. This has added billions of dollars worth of profits to these companies. No generic knock offs and they can charge whatever they want. In many cases people who can not afford these outrageous prices either go without doing more harm to themselves or in some cases even dying prematurely thanks to the former Conservatives. Of course other parties have plenty of blame to share as well but Mulroney's government was the leader.</div> <div>      What many people don't realize is that pharmacies also share the blame for high prices. You see pharmacies work on several hundreds of percent markups and in some cases even thousands of percent. This past week there was a CBS news item about a pharmacy that refused to sell drugs at list prices. Instead the owner marked the products up a reasonable amount. He showed an example of a drug who's list price was $185 for the bottle. His cost was $10 and he sold it for $15. Now that is reasonable. I will give links for you to see this story and other information that I guarantee will "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>shock</B></FONT>" you.  The following is an example of active ingredients cost for some popular drugs prescribed by the millions monthly.</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="503" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0"

ingredients but how can anyone justify a 56,995 % markup for manufacturing and distributing any product. If the oil industry worked with the smallest markup (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>2,809%</B></FONT>) on the above list a $60 barrel of oil after being refined into it's different products would sell for $1,685.40. Now a barrel of oil is 157 liters. If there was one hundred percent recovery that would put the cost of 1 liter of gasoline at $10.73 US. So do you get the idea???? At the Xanax markup a liter would cost $2177.96. WOW!!!</div> <bR> <div> My 90 tablets of Lipitor last week cost me $230.00 dollars not really much cheaper than the US. Costs of manufacture here would be comparable so we may think that we are some how superior to the US but not by much. Of course our pharmacy also charges a dispensing fee. Incredible isn't it. For those of you who are on prescriptions do a bit of research on your drugs and you will find basically the same. So what I am saying is, it is time to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Speak Out</B></FONT> about this atrocity. I wonder what Bruce Stanton has to say on this subject???

If this doesn't get your bile going when you read it then I am afraid you don't need drugs as you must be dead??This election be sure to thank Bruce and of course Doug Lewis for all this prosperity for Pharmacies and Drug companies.

anyone surprised about what is going on environmentally here in Orillia? I have been hitting a brick wall trying to make sure that what is happening was mitigated for years. The first time I wrote about leachate at the dump was back in 2004. Armed with a camera I toured the shoreline and then wrote of my find. It was totally ignored by people who today seem surprised. Ok! I thought maybe they missed reading the report so in 2006 I made the issue part of my election platform. But again few listened and those sitting on council for the last 3 1/2 years are today acting surprised. Acting surprised also is city management. Well folks I they all ignored me as surprise! surprise! did the MOE. That's right as I informed the MOE of my personal knowledge years before 2006. Why I warned Mayor John Palmer during his time in office. Only to be ignored. Here is what I wrote on Sept. 17, 2010. </div> <div>  </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sept. 17, 2006</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Election Platform Explained #3</B></div> <div> <B>(Orillia Dump)</B></div> <div>      Here is my third installment explaining my concerns and vision. Most people are not aware of just how serious  problems Orillia faces. For years previous councils have ignored an environmental disaster in the making and if elected I will work to mitigate the damage that is happening now and will be even worse in the future if we do not address it. I am talking about our <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dump </B></FONT>located on the shores of one of the world's most magnificent lakes. Lake Simcoe is under siege from over development, agricultural runoff, leaking septic systems, chemicals and of course the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Orillia City Dump</B></FONT>. Now many refer to it as our Landfill which gives one a different picture than the word<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B> Dump</B></FONT> which is what we are really doing there. We take stuff that no one wants around their house or business because it would pollute their own environment and they send it down to the lake shore and <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dump</B></FONT> it. Then bury it and pretend it does not exist because we really don't see it anymore. We falsly think of it as gone.</div> <div>      Since the 1960's we have been hauling not only household garbage but for a number of years industrial wastes as well to this site. Back in 1966 and 67 I worked for a company called P&M (Porcelain & Metals) located where our City Hall is today. As a 17 year old I was asked from time to time to load the garbage truck (an old flatbed with wooden sides) with all sorts of industrial materials. Back then very few if any of the workers knew just what a terrible thing we were asked to do. A <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dump</B></FONT> was there to be dumped on and we did as we were told. We dumped everything that was left over from the industrial process. But what has bothered me for years and I have tried in vain to get authorities attention about was the 45 gallon barrels of solvents that were dumped.</div> <div>      You see P&M had paint lines which used not just paint but degreasers and thinners. There were thousands of pounds of rags used over the couple of years I worked there which were soaked with degreasers and when dirty thrown in the garbage to be taken to the dump. Chemicals were used to degrease sheet metal before painting. When these chemicals were dirty they were put back in their drums and sent off to the dump. Same was true of spoiled paint and paint thinners and that, was just from the Fiat Department. The Silk Screening, Sheet Metal Department and the Chalkboard department added their own poisons and all went to the dump as P&M had no land on which to bury it like Otaco did. As a 17 year old I admit that not once did I question why we were dumping these materials and not once were we told the stuff could pose a danger. Like all other factory workers of the day we lived in ignorant bliss. Well today we do know better and I believe it is our duty to make sure no harm or as little as possible is done. Simply it is our duty. I can not turn the clock back but I can make sure we do the right thing today and face our environmental responsibilities.</div> <div>      Way back when John Palmer was mayor and the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dump</B></FONT> was being assessed I went to him and tried my best to convince him that the bomb was down there. He dismissed me and would not believe my story of these full drums of spent chemicals (like this council and mayor dismissed me about the drums at the West St. site) that I along with others personally rolled off that truck. For over two years that I worked for this company I was sent on that truck at least a dozen times and each time it was the same. Of course in the same time frame there were many more trips I didn't go on so you get the idea of the huge amount of toxic garbage from this one company alone. Anyway in trying to convince John Palmer that I wasn't some<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B> Kook</B></FONT> I relayed a story that was provable and he could check. You see it was the summer of 1967 I believe and a truckload of garbage was sent out for disposal. The load contained the contaminated rags and other garbage plus some of the 45 gallon drums filled with dirty degreasers and solvents. I wasn't sent on this truck but will never forget what happened on that trip, never the less. You see the boys backed up to the dump area where there happened to be a bit of a garbage fire smoldering. They tossed off the garbage and rolled the barrels off. As one of the barrels hit the ground it either cracked or the plugs weren't done down tight and the chemical spilled out. Fire and flammable chemical makes quite a combination and thankfully as the drum erupted in flames everyone got away without getting hurt. The same could not be said for the truck. It burned to the ground. Even the tires burned. All that was left was the frame. The Packet did a story and the fire department attended the scene so that there is plenty of evidence if one was to just look. It turned out that John Palmer either looked and decided to pretend he knew nothing or didn't bother looking at all?</div> <div>      About three years ago I related the story to  one of the MOE people we were dealing with over the MURF site. I believe it was Ian Mitchell who came to one of our Coalition meetings to hear our concerns.  MY hope was that he would check out the information and once confirmed they (MOE) would be more apt to listen to our story on what went on at the West St. site (chemical dumping and barrels). I heard nothing for months until the battle got nasty and the MOE was starting to look bad. At that point I was contacted by one of the MOE officers and asked in a voice mail to meet them at the dump to identify the area as best I could remember. Unfortunately I didn't get the voice mail until later in the day. I called and ended up leaving him a voice mail describing the area. Somehow either they dropped it or went ahead from a sketch I also provided by fax with the search to try and find these barrels. I have never heard from them again and even though I wrote about the incident in Speaking Out to my knowledge those barrels are still there. By the way P&M was only one of a number of companies who dumped their waste there. So for all you curious people and <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>nay</B></FONT> sayers the proof of what I am saying is there in the Packet archives and in the Fire Department records. The exact date I do not know but I am confident it was in the summer of 67. </div> <div>      Back in 92 the hearing on the Dump found that a<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B> Leachate Capture System</B></FONT> must be built around the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dump</B></FONT> as <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>78,000,000 liters </B></FONT>was leaching out annually. This has been ignored by council after council and today that totals one billion one hundred seventeen million (<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>1,117,000,000</B></FONT>) liters having leaked since just 1991. The result is easily seen with a short boat ride off the shore of the place. I have taken the ride a couple of years ago and published the pictures of the dead lake bottom. You can actually see bubbling from the bottom with no sign of vegetation or life in large areas. Sort of like at 95 Barrie Rd. except under water. But mayor, council and city management say "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>don't worry we know what we are doing</B></FONT>". Well unfortunately that is the problem. In spite of the horrendous harm being done to the environment these people are knowingly ignoring it.</div> <div>      If you choose to elect me your representative I promise that a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B>Leachate System</B></FONT> which was supposed to be installed 20 years ago and should have been installed from day one that the<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B> Dump </B></FONT>was put there will be on my list. I will pull out all the stops to make sure we mitigate the damage that is being done as I write this. This incessant environmental harm has gone on far too long and must be attended to. After all where do you think your drinking water comes from??? The dump is up stream from the water intake pipe isn't it?????? These people on council now and in the past have ignored what is plain to see, claiming it would cost too much money. Well folks the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dump</B></FONT> is a money<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B> making</B></FONT> proposition for the city. Where has all the money gone that the facility earned when the townships were using it???? Where has all the money gone that is collected for all those loads of waste people take there not to mention business and contractors and pay for the privelage???? Where has all the money gone that is earned from recycling???? Where has all the money gone that we paid and pay in property taxes for waste disposal ?? Shouldn't it have been used to build a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B>Leachate Capture System</B></FONT>????? Shouldn't it have been used to protect your environment and drinking water???? Where is all this money??? It sure didn't go for road repair.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="6c484230.jpg" border=0 width="388" height="291" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> One of many dead zones you will see if you take the tour.</div> <bR> <bR> <div>      What part of what I spoke Out about does not make it clear that the future holds dire consequences if this leachate is not addressed. Macmillan and all candidates knew what I wrote back then. So did the mayoral candidates along with city management. All have ignored it over the last 3 1/2 years and are responsible for the 214,000,000 liters of leachate that has flowed into Simcoe and our drinking water since. Nothing has been learned as new future environmental disasters are being promoted all in the name of putting public money in private pockets. Will no one stand and stop this insanity. We are shitting in our own nest. Is everyone planning to leave this place and simply don't care for those who stay? Will this mess be left to these same shallow selfserving people to fix? Most likely as Orillians seem to prefer heads tucked in the sand than people with real ideas, concerns and solutions. Welcome back to the future.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Need a Forensic Audit We Need an Election</B></div> <div> <B>We Need Honest Representation</B></div> <bR> <div>      </div> <bR> <div> <B>Mar.19, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>West St. Site Must be Cleaned</B></div> <div>      In Yesterday's Orillia Today there is a must read story tucked away on page 9 by Frank Matys "Public works tests water quality". Looks like city management has finally decided that my concerns for water contamination years ago was llegitimate. I have been Speaking Out about the foolishness of squeezing contaminants off the site down on West St. for years. Only to be totally dismissed by these people for years, it now seems they themselves have boarded the good ship Contamination.</div> <div>      Public works has installed a monitoring well at Lawrence Park. Peter Dance claims that this well "will offer an early indicator of water quality as it travels through the ground to the municipality's lakeside wells". I predicted back in 2005 that what this mayor, council and city management had done would lead to contamination of our aquifer. Here is what I wrote right here on Dec. 03, 2005.</div> <bR> <div>  <a href="HTMLobj-2066/Agracom_Report.pdf"><u>Agracom_Report.pdf</u> </a>  that shows contamination is all the way down to the bedrock. Now at this level there is a very good chance that the "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>aquifer</B></FONT>" maybe compromised. You see if there are any cracks or crevices in the bedrock contamination can seep through. Unfortunately for those of us on wells, that would compromise our safety as once this stuff is in the "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>aquifer</B></FONT>" it can travel for miles. More testing will need to be done and done quickly to ensure residents in the townships that the "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>aquifer</B></FONT>" has not been compromised. Agrecom recommends that cleanup of the source is necessary at the deep level in order for proper remediation to happen. Yet council is "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Mickey Mousing</B></FONT>" around hoping against all hope that you will be dumb enough to accept their garbage. They are only going to deal with a very small area and only to the shallow and intermediate depth without even identifying the source. As we have said all along the first task is to identify what we are dealing with. This nickel and dime approach will end up costing millions more than it should. Once we identify what is on this property and off, a proper cleanup program must be begun. Councillors know the MOE has stated that the on site source must be shut off in order to deal with the off site contamination. Yet council still insists on the "smoke and mirror" approach. This is quite a Christmas present for the taxpayers of Orillia. </div> <bR> <div>      At the public meeting held by the Coalition at the Sundial back in 2005 I did a show and tell presentation. Took a wet sponge which represented the MURF site. I asked people to put pressure on the sponge and watch what happens. What happened was that the water was squeezed out of the sponge in all directions. Unfortunately few got it. Ralph Cipolla who attended didn't get it  as council continued on their thoughtless way ignoring and refusing to believe just what they have done. The MURF site is a great big sponge as is all that land on the lower part of West St. holding it's toxic load. But once it was squeezed we now have this stuff flowing in all directions. This monitoring well at Lawrence Park is proof that even those most skeptical have finally realized that the Genie is out of the bottle. They told us last fall that they were going to put monitoring wells north to Western Ave. Now after those results which have still not been made public they are putting a well way up in Lawrence Park about 2 km. away??? They must have got some pretty bad numbers for them to start monitoring a couple of km. away in the North end all of a sudden.</div> <div>      In the Orillia Today article Dance says "<B>If you see something disturbing, you have two years to panic about it before it gets to your main wells</B>". Why is this man still working for the city? The panic should have been when they were warned not to disturb this site. The panic should have been before they squeezed this contamination in every direction.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="6c29c800.gif" border=0 width="668" height="384" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>      We need to cut off these toxins from leaching off site. This site must be cleaned up a.s.a.p. Monitoring 2 km away won't stop it leaking off site and contaminating an ever larger area of Orillia. Time to Speak Out folks. Tell them you have had enough of this merry go round. </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <div> <B>Mar. 16, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Under One Roof Clean Up Hits Reality?</B></div> <div>      As I predicted last October the Under One Roof Project at 165 Front St. has hit a very expensive environmental snag. The pretend cleanup of the property started last week? I watched earth moving equipment scrape dirt off down to about three feet and scratched my head. This was done on the back north east corner which abuts Dorr Oliver and Queen St. The dirt which looks suspiciously like the dirt from the MURF site which was trucked to the shores of Lake Simcoe. We found out later that because of dishonest testing that dirt was highly toxic. This stuff looks much the same. </div> <div>      Anyway, they scraped and made a very large pile and then trucked in clean fill to fill the hole. In watching what they were doing  it was making no sense. You see they then loaded trucks and moved the contaminated dirt to the south side of the property and then leveled it as if they were going to use it as fill. Imagine moving contaminated soil to the other side of the property only to spread it? Say that is exactly what happened at 95 Barrie Rd. Remember when council allowed the property to be divided after the contaminated soil was moved to the eastern half for storage. Then the lot was divided and was allowed to be built. on without actually getting rid of the contamination. So naturally I thought these guys were going to do the same here. So that is why they claimed they could clean the site for a mere $500,000. They weren't going to clean it at all.</div> <div>      Well something happened because yesterday they started digging not 3 feet but down at least 6 maybe even 8 feet on the area directly behind the building. Obviously they hit the hotspot which I had reported several years ago. Some of you may remember me repeating a story I had heard from several people that one day some black material just started to ooz up out of the ground on this property. This was when Home Hardware was still located there. Clean fill was brought in and the oozing was covered over. </div> <div>      Yesterday they must have dug into the mother load and had to go deeper to try and remove it? Today there is another huge pile of contaminated dirt from this massive deep hole. Clean fill was trucked in and by this afternoon the hole was being filled. Their problem now is this contaminated dirt will have to be trucked which will cost over a million dollars if it is disposed properly. But the problem doesn't end there. This afternoon the dirt they trucked to the south side of the property and leveled was being removed. Yup! they were digging it up and starting another huge pile. But they weren't just digging out what was put there, they were actually going down about 8 feet deep as well. Looks like that not only  three feet needs to be removed but possibly down to 8 feet. Wow! I predicted last October that their $500,000 cost estimate for cleaning up soil to only a depth of three feet and trucking away was a pipe dream. Here is what I wrote back then. Are the words "I told you so appropriate once again"?????</div> <bR> <div> <B>Oct. 05, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Can Council and this Mayor not Think????</B></div> <div>      Newpath has asked the city for a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT> loan to remediate 2 1/2 acres of land at the old Home Hardware store. They want to buy this property for the Under 1 Roof project which would be built to house many of the cities' social agencies. People from Newpath went before council tonight and quite frankly I am having trouble believing them. First they claim that there is 36" of dirt which is contaminated on the 2 1/2 acre site that must be dug and dumped. Council as I write this has voted in a recorded vote to actually do this deal???</div> <div>      It is obvious that the majority of councillors who actually voted for this don't know how big 2 1/2 acres is. Once again council has not even bothered to do a simple calculation to see if what these guys were telling them could be the truth. One acre is 4840 square yards. If as these guys said 36" has to be removed that makes 4840 cubic yards times <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>2.5</B></FONT> acres which equals <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>12,100</B></FONT> cubic yards of contaminated material. This material will have to be trucked to the nearest site (many miles away) licensed to receive contaminated material. At even the most optimistic thinking trucking and tippage would be a minimum <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$175</B></FONT> per cubic yard. Ah!! Duh!!!! that is a cost of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$2,117,500</B></FONT>. Here is the President of Newpath telling these guys that they can do it for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT> which is the amount they asked for from the city. Unless the plan is to truck this dirt down to the dump on Lake Simcoe and pile it on top of the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>40,000</B></FONT> tons of contaminated soil they already dumped there. In that case the cost would still be in the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>million and a half range</B></FONT> which is still three times more than what is claimed to cost. Remember folks the cost to the city for disposing the 40,000 tons from the MURF site just for tippage fees was over <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$5,000,000</B></FONT>. So how can these guys do <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>12,000</B></FONT> tons for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT>?????</div> <div>      When the question was asked of their expert about the MOE having seen this site or if even he had met with the MOE the answer was negative. Yet with the lead of Fecht 5 councillors and the mayor they voted to hand over <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000 </B></FONT>of our hard earned tax dollars. Not only that, but they have left it up to the discretion of Half Million Dollar Bob Ripley. I know it's Bob's specialty to dally with half million dollars but sorry folks this vote was a huge mistake. Once again these guys prove that they simply can't add, subtract, multiply or think. Newpath's presentation was lousy at best and so full of holes that Swiss Cheese comes to mind. They had no numbers, they had no information, they simply have conned the councillors and mayor who voted for this???? Once again these guys have proven that they are unable to do their due diligence to protect the public purse. I can't believe they are this stupid, which only leaves one to suspect that there are other things in play here??????? Once again we need to follow the money.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div>      Now it looks like instead of 12,000 cubic yards of soil as they claimed, it could conceivably be double or maybe even triple the amount. If their plan was to simply try to divide this property and just store the toxic dirt it has surely failed. Even this council and mayor wouldn't dare to allow that would they? Needless to say they hit something in the dirt that changed the plan. If the amount of dirt to dispose of is doubled, costs could be over $4,000,000. Wow! Bruce Stanton and the Conservative Government has given New Path $2,000,000 plus for this project. If the bill for cleanup comes in at $2,117,500 as I predicted there will be no money to renovate the building. You see New Path has no money of their own. They told council that they had $500,000 in investments as collateral against the loan but when you look at their Revenue Canada Return that statement is not true.  Long term investment shows only $276,000. I warned council about this but they simply ignored it and went ahead with the loan anyway. <A HREF="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/t3010form21sched6-eng.action?b=892507161RR0001&e=2009-03-31&n=NEW+PATH+FOUNDATION&r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%3A80%2Febci%2Fhaip%2Fsrch%2Ft3010form21-eng.action%3Fb%3D892507161RR0001%26amp%3Be%3D2009-03-31%26amp%3Bn%3DNEW%2BPATH%2BFOUNDATION%26amp%3Br%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%253A80%252Febci%252Fhaip%252Fsrch%252Fbasicsearchresult-eng.action%253Fs%253D%252B%2526amp%253Bk%253Dnew%252Bpath%2526amp%253Bp%253D1%2526amp%253Bb%253Dtrue" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/"><U>Revenue Canada Return</U></A></div> <div>      So why am I worried? It's because these people digging so deep  they will be squeezing the toxins off site. There are houses and people living in them on Poughkeepsie St. to the south of this property. The last thing you want to do is disturb a contaminated site before you know just what is there. The activity can do more harm and really create a bigger problem that is far more complex and costly. They are now finding that out. What bothers me is there has been no lesson learned from the MURF. Remember that a short 16 months after the dig and dump at the MURF site Trichloroethylene the pure chemical found on the site showed up in our water supply from the lake. This activity could very easily push even more towards the lake and under larger areas of the South Ward. I told them it was a bad idea for the MURF site and I told them it is a bad idea for this site. Unfortunately they just don't listen.</div> <div>      But as with the MURF the Packet, instead of doing their due diligence came out supporting this ill conceived project. In an editorial by Teviah Moro they picked a side which looks like it has turned into the wrong one for the public's interest. Here is what I wrote about Teviah's editorial back last Oct.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Oct. 07, 2009</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Arrogance of Power Breeds Scams</B></div> <div>      Looks like the Packet has slipped back into it's old mold of mis-representing and or with holding simple facts from their readers. Yesterday Teviah Moro's editorial  piece " Orillia Common Roof is for everyone's benefit " is so misleading that it is up there with what the Packet did during the MURF fight. Teviah fails miserably to ask any questions about how a property with such high costs could actually save any money for participating agency's.</div> <div>      He writes "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>A community-based project such as the Orillia Common Roof will ofter stimulus to future development, a catalyst for expanded recreational and therapeutic activities and economic growth for our area</B></FONT>." What the hell does this mean??? What has office space got to do with expanded recreational and therapeutic activities???? Teviah and the Packet should be ashamed of themselves for so willingly being a part of this gross mis-representation at the expense of taxpayers money. The Packet <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>bullsh*t</B></FONT> runs fast and runs deep.</div> <div>      Teviah goes on to tell us that "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>If things go as planned, it's hard to imagine how this non-profit venture won't pay off in spades for Orillia</B></FONT>". Say! didn't the Packet say the same thing about the MURF??? Why I do believe they predicted way back that the MURF was a win, win. They claimed back then and that the MURF would be built for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$24,000,000</B></FONT> and that council and mayor knew what they were doing and should be <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>trusted</B></FONT>. At the same time they ridiculed those of us who <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Spoke Out</B></FONT> and predicted each and every disaster that would happen. Now the Packet has once again been leashed and barks when they are told to. </div> <div>      What really <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>pisses</B></FONT> me off is that Teviah writes this crap at all. "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>New Path and its partners are willing to invest in a derelict site and turn it into a vibrant social-service hub, breathing life into a moribund end of town</B></FONT>". First off this area of town is not moribund. In fact, if Teviah would go down and have a look at what a beautiful job the Bun Center did on their building it is anything but. If Teviah would take the time to have a look at the building on 165 Front St. he would see that it is not "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>derelict</B></FONT>". But it is empty. Like with the MURF, like with the library and many other counter productive schemes and scams this mayor and his councils have concocted, Orillia's Packet being the good little lap dog it is, they simply follow their orders.</div> <div>      Then Mr. Moro takes a lump of the crap he spews and attempts to spread it on thick. "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Under this common roof, these non-profits, which depend on donors and grants to stay afloat, find relief with more affordable rent. They can also share resources</B></FONT>". Unbelievable that he has the nerve to write this. Why even the President of Newpath said Monday night that there would be no savings on square footage rent and had no idea of what the actual rent would be as yet. What nerve Teviah has in promoting what is clearly a lie. These non profits who clearly depend on donors and of course grants which is just another fancy word for taxpayers money will not save money on rent. How can they, when the cost of this project is so  expensive????? </div> <div>      Not one word in this editorial does Teviah show that he has done his due diligence on this project. Not a word about the clean up cost or total cost of the project. Once again the Packet has shown it's loyalty to it's own bottom line and be damned with the people. Sorry folks but this is a suckers deal with us being the suckers. Iit all has to do with you and I being taken to the cleaners and lining others pockets with public funds. Whether our donations are diverted or our tax dollars diverted through grants it is still our money and more of it will be needed to fill the pockets of Newpath Executives. Nice work if you can get it?????</div> <div>      I would like to know how much salary the President of Newpath takes and how much in expenses he puts through the books every year along with the entire management. Let us see those numbers and then we can make up our minds as to whether it is truly a Non Profit  as claimed. Hell it's easy to not show a profit and then claim to be one????? Teviah might want to do some more homework before he climbs on board so willingly to this deal which makes no sense at all. </div> <div>      I'm having a problem figuring out how a landlord who is charging $12.00 per square foot for space is actually Non Profit???? Good office space around town commands about $12.00 or less with a profit component. So to pretend that money will be saved is simply not true. In fact Cipolla said he heard that in Barrie some of Newpath tenants were paying $18.00 and Mr. Newby spoke of $12.00. This does not make sense to have public money being loaned into what is actually a commercial venture?????</div> <div>      There is also no way that over 12,000 cubic yds. of contaminated soil can be disposed of for $500,000. Tippage alone is in the $1,500,000 range. Just the cost of the replacement soil at $300 per 16 yard truckload (750 loads) comes in at $225,000. Does anyone believe that you can dispose 12,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil for $275,000????? This deal does not add up to any savings, so mark my words these agencies will be paying a very high price for their rent if they sign a lease, which is actually our collective rent anyway. I hope they have done their homework??? Lie to me once and I believe you it is your fault. Lie to me twice and I believe you then it is mine. Throughout Newpath's presentation as I said before there were so many holes that it reminded me of Swiss Cheese.</div> <div>      Joe Fecht says "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>Why should the city do this? There's a simple reason, because we can," said Coun. Joe Fecht in support of the loan. "It will kickstart a new initiative for the non-profit sector</B></FONT>." Unfortunately public monies must be used for the good of the community not just because we can. Clear example of arrogance of power. With renovations to the building and the cleanup this will be the most expensive real estate in Orillia after the MURF. Just do your numbers folks. They do not add up to what is claimed regardless of what Fecht says. This City can not afford to do this nor should they do it without showing us the results of their investigation that justifies the putting of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$500,000</B></FONT> of taxpayers money at risk. Bet they didn't do any investigation or any due diligence???? The truth as to why Joe Fecht and others supported this loan is simpler than Joe's answer. It is simply to accommodate the current owners to be able to unload this contaminated property.  Like the purchase of the Molson property was conceived and executed for the benefit of Molson so too is this deal. Follow the  money folks and do your due diligence. It's obvious this mayor and council don't, or do they??????? Just a quick note about what Fecht said during the debate Monday night????? He told us that he had had a relationship with Newpath when he worked for the Ontario government. Say! didn't Ralph Cipolla also have a relationship with some of the Molson people and in fact brought Molson and the city together??????? Wonder if Joe did the same with Newpath?????? Hmmmmm! There will be more coming so please come back tomorrow. </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div>      Teviah wrote in his editorial "<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>If things go as planned, it's hard to imagine how this non-profit venture won't pay off in spades for Orillia</B></FONT>".  Well Teviah and all you people down at the Packet and City Hall it looks like this project has been Euchred. What a shame. There was only one reason why this project was hurried and not done right. It was because as usual they thought it could be gotten away with and pockets would be lined. They were running a deadline for the federal money which had to go into shovel ready projects. They couldn't waste time actually investigating what was really there and then having the project shutdown because it would be known what was actually involved. So they took a chance and it looks like the taxpayers will be losing once again. Only in Orillia. Will the Packet be doing a follow up story????</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="6b7db640.jpg" border=0 width="475" height="356" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="6b9d9630.jpg" border=0 width="473" height="355" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="6bdda6d0.jpg" border=0 width="474" height="365" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="6bfd96c0.jpg" border=0 width="473" height="364" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Have a look for yourselve folks the show continues today.

Unfortunately mayor, council, city management or the OPC simply didn't listen. Here we are 6 years later way behind other communities who did listen, not just to me but others who actually have vision. Had council spent the $15,000,000 in creating green energy back in 2004 instead of wasting it on the Toxic MURF cover-up I am confident that $100,000,000 of economic activity would have been the result for Orillia. Not to mention the profits generated from all the power produced. Had these people done then what was obviously the right thing to do, Orillia's EDC would have a line up of new business vying to locate in the Green Energy Capital of Ontario which Orillia would have become. Opportunity ignored is opportunity lost and you can thank Stevens, Gardy, Lauer, MacMillan, Speers, Evans, Fecht, Fogarty and Cipolla. I want to share with you what I wrote back in July of 2004. I set out a map with clear suggestions of how to use. Unfortunately they ignored it. As I wrote yesterday these same people are still shutting down Progress Orillia so in six years it seems nothing has changed and won't change until you the voters get rid of them. Anyway here is what I wrote back then. I will let you decide on whether my suggestions back then have been legitimized ? </div> <bR> <div> <B>Issue 21 July 2004</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Grid-Tied Solar</div> <bR> <div> by: Jim Tolnai</div> <div>      Our electrical supply or lack of seems to be getting more and more press. Should we go nuclear or natural gas generation? Some lip service is being paid to renewable energy but for the most part that is all it is. Seems utilities and politicians have their brains wrapped around Mega projects even though this thinking has been proven wrong on a Mega scale. Back in the 60.s Ontario tied it.s cart to the Nuclear horse. Now we know that it was a fools paradise. Sure we have had low cost power which was artificial and imposed by politicians and yes Ontario prospered for a short time, but now it is time to pay. These Mega projects are now past their prime. Maintenance costs are huge compared to the cost of construction and we have nowhere to put the Toxic waste that has been generated. This stuff will stay Toxic for the next 10,000 years. Seems the politicians of the sixties never thought ahead to the next century and the consequence of their decisions. Now we have a new set of politicians wanting to repeat their predecessors mistakes. So what is the answer? Mega projects are sexy because you see this giant and everyone is impressed by giants. But are giants really that awesome? Why don't we start looking at smaller scale development and act? Politicians and people who work in the industry will tell you that small scale is not feasible because of the huge need. These people are willing to squabble for years about our huge need and how only Mega projects will save us, all the while nothing is being done. Of course there is a method in their madness. Squabble long enough until there really is a Crisis and we will allow them to do anything they want. They create the Crisis only to have their way and build the Mega Project. </div> <div>      So how do we stop the Mega Project merry go round and actually start doing something before we are in crisis? How about a street by street solution? Yes it can be done but only with the co-operation of the very people who want to do business as usual. We need to either</div> <div> convince them or force them to change their thinking. Back during the municipal election I spoke about this very concept. It was as relevant then as it is today. Orillia with it's unique position of having it's own generating capacity can be a leader in this country to promote renewable energy. We need to tackle our energy problem today not ten years from now. We need to tackle our problem first from one house to one street to one neighborhood to one ward to one city at a time. It is not that we can't do this. The fact is that people like John Mattinson and the OPC board don't have any interest in anything but large scale. </div> <div>      So here is the plan. With the huge profits OPC is generating let's start a Self Sufficient Energy Program. Don't think city wide. Think one house or building at a time. Let's start with city hall. Right in the center of our city sits a building three stories high. No trees, clear expanse, enough room on that roof to place, say twenty solar panels. Tie these panels into the grid and start producing energy. Sure these panels won't produce enough energy to supply city hall with all their needs, but it certainly will add to the overall supply. Does it have to be expensive? Of course not. OPC can experiment and train on this first project so that they will have the expertise to move to the next challenge. Take the huge OPC profits and subsidize people to install their own panels and make it affordable to tap into the grid, but only if the householder makes every effort possible to keep their consumption as low as possible. With a few basic changes like energy efficient light bulbs, household loads can be decreased by 10%. OPC is in the business of renting water heaters. This profitable business should invest into systems that will use solar to pre-heat water before it goes into the actual heater. Hot water is one of the largest users of power. We heat water all night long when we don't use it just so that it will be there for us in the morning. OPC should be making on demand water heaters available to rental customers. This would most likely cut 5% from a house hold's energy bill. With preheating the water there would be another 5% savings equaling 10%. So we can cut consumption by 20% plus add at least 30% more power generation to the grid if a household would install 2 or 3 solar panels to their roof. Let's multiply this by just 25% of house holds in Orillia and all commercial buildings. Looks like we could increase available power by at least 30% with out burning any fossil fuels or building nuclear plants. Folks this is doable and it does not have to cost huge dollars. The technology is there, the money is there. The only thing lacking is the will by people in power. There are countless places on the internet where success stories prove what I am saying. Go to <A HREF="http:// www.homepower.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http:// www.homepower.com"><U>http:// www.homepower.com</U></A> and read about a town called Ashland Oregon <A HREF="http://www.ashland.or.us/Index.asp " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ashland.or.us/Index.asp "><U>http://www.ashland.or.us/Index.asp </U></A>where the local utility and town fathers encourage people to do just what I have written about. </div> <div>         Do a search for on demand water heaters and check the stats. The energy savings are huge. Yes we can fix our energy crisis before it even starts. But only with your pushing and shoving of the people we put in power. Don't be fooled by OPC's line that it is not economical. Of course it's not economical for them to lose their monopoly. Of course it's not economical for them to sell you less power. Their self interest of bigger and bigger profits at your expense is definitely in their interest as is the building of Mega Projects. This country was built one building, one road, one farm, one village at a time. We can build our renewable energy system one rooftop at a time. The so called self serving experts will dazzle you with figures but never with facts. Do your due diligence and then get pro-active. We have left our children with a huge debt and virtually nothing to show for it. Don't let this happen to the next generation.</div> <div>      Orillia has the opportunity to become the Renewable Energy Centre of Ontario or even Canada. Our forefathers had vision to be the first community to harness electricity generation. Let's build on their legacy and make our own. Let's partner with Georgian College to offer courses and even a research center for renewable energy. People who are working to bring a University to Orillia could entice an institution here based on our willingness to open the future using renewable energy. The benefits to our community are endless and all based on a Renewable Energy Program. What better place to locate manufacturing of Solar and Wind products than a community that offers support. Clean, secure renewable energy is reality if we are willing to follow through.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Mar. 13, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Cover-Up Un-Covered/Con Game Keeps Rolling On</B></div> <div>      For the last 8 years or more I have been Speaking Out about the environmental problems Orillia has. Unfortunately people simply didn't pay attention. I guess they hadn't been affected thinking that dumps were only put in authorized locations and surely no one would put a dump in a residential area. Problem with Orillia is that a third of the city has been compromised whether anyone wants to admit it or not. I have also tried to warn about how the MOE simply covers up reality instead of protecting public health and safety. Finally the poop has hit the fan. Because of being caught with their pants down so many times the MOE along with city politicians and management have finally had to admit there is a problem and it is big.</div> <div> " <B>ORILLIA - A series of former dumps identified by Ontario’s environment ministry could spell a mess of trouble for nearby homeowners". </B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.orilliatoday.com/orilliatoday/article/157234" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.orilliatoday.com/orilliatoday"><U><B>http://www.orilliatoday.com/orilliatoday/article/157234</B></U></A></div> <div>      Orillia Today has finally done a story on the problem. While not a complete story at least it is a start. But don't hold your breath for the Packet to do a story as they especially don't want to ruffle any feathers. </div> <div> I first spoke out about the contamination of Orillia back when John Palmer was mayor. I told him about buried 45 gallon drums of chemicals along the shore of Lake Simcoe. He at first disbelieved and then assured me he would look into it. Nothing happened and then he passed away. It was another few years before I would Speak Out again. That happened when the MURF was proposed. This time I vowed not to just drop it in hopes of others looking into it. That is how I became a crusader??? Unfortunately the same people who obviously dismissed me the first time were still around and weren't about to do the right thing. That is how the MURF Wars began.</div> <div> Anyway throughout the years I have written about areas in the city which are hotspots only to be ridiculed. When I questioned why housing would be built on areas known to be contaminated I was told that you are a trouble maker, wannabe, sour graper obstructionist. Once more my concerns and warnings have been legitimized.</div> <div>      The mentality that governs Orillia is unbelievable. At one point I had written about a large parcel of land that is highly contaminated. Long time councillor Wayne Gardy said that this contaminated area would be an ideal place for low income housing. When I took exception to it, there was barely a word from anyone. Not a word of outrage from the Packet or Orillia Today. Not even an outrage from those who today find themselves living on or next door to these toxins. Let's see the outrage when they go to sell their property and it is listed on the contaminated map of Orillia? Let's see the outrage of those who have bought their properties in the last 8 years and now find that it is on or next to these dump sites? Let's see if they will be suing their realtor or the city for withholding this information from them. You see the City of Orillia knew where these properties were located and said nothing. They did not warn realtors or the public. Simply they weren't about to Speak Out because it wouldn't be in their own best interest. So once again the public will pay the price for deceit, lies and incompetence. </div> <div>      I was speaking with a chap on Tuesday at the YMCA. He asked me about the MURF and whether it would be built. I assured him it would not be built on the West St. site unless it was cleaned up. Then I carried on with the fact of Orillia being highly contaminated, not just the MURF site but all over. That was Tuesday and the story came out on Thursday. I said to him that no one should blame those who dumped all this stuff back before the 1970's except the individuals who actually knew that it was toxic. Yes there were a few who knew and didn't buy their homes in the South Ward as it was known back then. But most people who located in that ward because land and homes were much less expensive because they were built on or beside industrial dumps sites didn't know. What I said to him was, we shouldn't hold them responsible because they operated from lack if knowledge. But who we should be holding accountable are the people who knew that there is a problem and have been covering it up. Once these people knew about these contaminants and covered it up they took ownership of the harm done. This is what I have been trying to tell people. There is a small group of evil in this town who worship nothing but wealth. They don't care if two headed babies are born or there is a cancer clinic for children right here at our hospital. They care nothing for long term health or welfare of people. Like Gardy who suggested that a good use for contaminated property would be low income housing no one else but myself took exception. Not the mayor, not councillors, not city management. The evil is that they knew back then where these properties were located and had been suppressing it. Even today they are pushing to build on West St. with out cleaning up the site which by the way will never happen as long as I draw breath. Clean up the site and put 2 MURFs there for all i care but nothing until it is cleaned.</div> <div>      There are better uses for this land and could be put to it within the next 12 months. Orillia (I hate to say this) is blessed to have this property in the heart of the city. We can turn this sow's ear into a silk purse. We can make this property pay for it's own clean up while making green energy. I have written here since 2004 about the city getting into green energy. I proposed in 2004 that every city building should have solar panels on their roofs. I proposed that the city, Orillia Power and maybe private business should partner to make Orillia the Green Capital of Ontario. With our unique 100 years of generating experience, Orillia is in an ideal position to build a whole industrial future based on Green Energy. But I have been ignored until now.</div> <div>      Ian Brown reported to Council Committee a couple of weeks ago about how the city should be looking into putting solar panels on all city buildings. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Six years I harped on this and was totally ignored. Now as other communities with visionary leaders are actually doing these things our own drowsy leaders are beginning to wake up. It seems it is more important to build a 5 lane road to nowhere than to create jobs and a future. But there are still those who oppose Progress Orillia. The same people who opposed me back in 2004. Those people who care nothing for the environment or the health of this community unless they can line their own pockets. I wrote here a few years ago that I believed nothing would be done by the people in power until they could figure out how to personally benefit  from  green energy or the clean up of Orillia's toxins. Well guess what folks? It looks like they must of found a way as all of a sudden they have had a brilliant  idea to do some good and came clean on where and who owns the toxins.</div> <div>      I think it is wonderful that they now are willing to put solar panels on city roofs. So once again I will offer them to take my idea and turn the MURF site into an inner city Solar Farm. There is 36 acres of some of the worst contaminated land in the world that could generate enough revenue to clean itself up. The farm could be a starting point to build a green industrial base. With Orillia Power's expertise in generation and distribution along with Lake Head and Georgian College what a great laboratory. Manufacturers would be drawn to Orillia simply to partake in such an effort. Solar could lead to wind and it will. There are new wind turbines that are noise free or almost noise free and do not vibrate. These can be added to existing buildings. Then there is the Kinergy Power system which I have written here on several occasions about. But as I said there is a core who until they personally can benefit will never do the right thing and will simply promote the projects they or their friends can benefit from personally.</div> <div>      I received an e-mail a week ago from a chap in Welland. </div> <bR> <div> Jim Tolnai</div> <div> ></div> <div> > Saw an article on KinergyPower on your website.</div> <div> ></div> <div> > Wondering if your city done anything more on partnering with KinergyPower?</div> <div> ></div> <div> > Look forward to hearing from you.</div> <div> ></div> <div> > Cheers</div> <div> ></div> <div> ></div> <div> I had been asking for the city to have a look at this company years ago only to have nothing being done. Last year the company surfaced again when the city of Welland got involved to support them by building an Innovation Center based on this one company. So again I notified Ralph Cipolla who had contacted them about 4 years ago. Unfortunately his contact never went anywhere because mayor, management and a majority of councillors shut him down. But with the new activity Ralph asked the company if they would be willing to come to Orillia and give a presentation to council. I thought Wow! finally it looks like just maybe these guys are finally getting it. But boy was I wrong. You see I sent on this chaps letter to Ralph who replied with this.</div> <bR> <div> Subject: Re: Kinergypower</div> <div> Hi jim</div> <div> You are right I have been trying I have been turned down as a deputation to</div> <div> council by the powers to be...iam working now with the new edc manager to</div> <div> have it come to the edc and get them to come up and make a presentation to</div> <div> edc the power corp.. and public works I will let you know if I get shot</div> <div> down on this one...</div> <bR> <div> thanks</div> <div> ralph </div> <bR> <div> Am I surprised? Of course not. Stevens didn't become mayor to simply Progress Orilla as his record clearly shows. His job was to maximize the dispensing of public monies to private pockets as his record shows. He talks about bringing industry to Orillia. Believe me talk is not cheap for the taxpayers. While for 4 years he and the backroom boys have shutdown this company from even Speaking Out to them they have squandered tens of millions of dollars. Folks this company wasn't asking for anything else than to present their new and innovative product. Yet despite Ralph's efforts they were turned down. Not once but twice. Why? There was no cost to simply listen? So folks Progress Orillia is only for a very small group who control the agenda which is always questionable.</div> <div>      Now I will go out on my usual limb and take a stab at why all of a sudden Brown made his report on putting Solar on City Roofs? It is very simple. Someone has figured out how private pockets can benefit from a city asset. One of Brown's suggestions in his report was to partner with a private company and simply rent all these roof tops. Interestingly enough he had no suggestion of partnering with the Orillia Power Corp and keeping profits collectivly ours. Why not? If past behaviour is analyzed it can only mean one thing. Like the land transfer deal with Molson's on the West St. property it doesn't pass the smell test. Like the purchase of industrial land for an Industrial Park it doesn't pass the smell test. Like the Barrie Road industrial property which was allowed to be divided without clean up doesn't pass the smell test. Like this $10,000,000 gift to a private developer to build what is supposed to be low income housing on Barrie Rd. doesn't pass the smell test. Like the 5 lane road to nowhere doesn't pass the smell test. Like the new library that doesn't pass the smell test. Like the purchase of property on Market St. doesn't pass the smell test. Like the building of the fire station on Commerce Rd on land purchased for almost 3 times it's value doesn't pass the smell test. Like the purchase of the Second Last Call for the Library and it's $800,000 in renovations only to be torn down doesn't pass the smell test. If you think paying $325,000 for the lot on Commerce Dr. for the fire station was high how about the $2,250,000 cost for the land for the new Fire Hall? There is a whole list of other projects that don't pass the smell test on top of those I have already listed. So folks make sure you ask your councillors why they wouldn't allow this company (Kinergy) to simply give a deputation? Not once but twice. Progress Orillia my ass.</div> <div>      Now is the time to demand to know why the city as sole owner of Orillia Power could not partner with it's already partner to bring green energy to Orillia City rooftops and a Solar Farm to the West St. property with the profits to be used for clean up of the toxins, so we all will benefit??  Only in Orillia and the Con Game just keeps rolling on.</div> <div> jim tolnai </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Mar. 11, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>I Thought a Heritage Library Couldn't be Built?</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6abbefe0.png" border=0 width="446" height="254" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="6ada3fd0.png" border=0 width="419" height="253" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div>      In the past couple of years we have been told that a heritage library couldn't be built. Well at least not built by the mayor's, city management's and the 7 councillors who voted to proceed with this monstrosity favourite architects. To these people this looks like a good fit with the hundred year old Opera House. To these people this is what heritage represents.  For the sum of <B>$26,000,000</B> we will get this. We were told that period architecture was way more expensive than a fish tank and if we didn't like it, too bad. It looks stupid and takes away more benefit than it ads.</div> <div>      Anyway along comes another town in Simcoe County who not only managed to build a heritage building but actually is building it for a cost of $7.8 million dollars. Now the building is smaller than our Fish Tank by 28% that is true. But then the price is also smaller by not half but by more than 66%. Imagine that. Not only do we find that a heritage looking building can be built with today's technology, but it can be built for less money. Let's have a look at what Collingwood is getting for their .33 cents for which we pay a dollar?</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="6b18ba70.jpg" border=0 width="395" height="423" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Now let's have a look at some other pretty pictures from downtown Collingwood showing off their heritage town center.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="6b067520.jpg" border=0 width="615" height="338" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Well I'll be. Just a short hour drive away here is a community located by the water,big time tourist destination and they were able to put their project together without much trouble. Now why do you suppose these people can do it and we can't? Could it be because those in power actually listened to the people? Could it be there is less or no skullduggery by town fathers compared to ours? Folks something is different about Orillia as my research has shown. Collingwood isn't the only community that has been able to achieve a library and for much less than ours. Back in 2008 I wrote about this very subject long before the final decision was made. There was lots of time for councillors to have done their due diligence. But did they? Nope. Full steam ahead and damn the torpedo's. Here is what I wrote back in Nov. 2008. Seems Collingwood listened while our squanderers simply took violin lessons for when Orillia starts burning financially.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Nov. 28, 2008</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Time to be Selfish</B></div> <div>      There was an opinion piece in the Packet this week by one David Rowe director of technical services for The Library. David made what on the surface looks like an impassioned plea to Orillia taxpayers to support the new library. He talks about how important the library is to the community and who could argue against that? He gives figures about library use and again it looks impressive until you dissect the numbers. Now I have made it clear that I support a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$13,000,000</B></FONT> library. I am very selfish that we need, should want and can afford a $<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>13,000,000</B></FONT> library. But what is being proposed by mayor, council, city management, library management, Shore, Tilby and the vast minority of taxpayers is nothing short of Glutinous. While communities, colleges, universities around the world are building excellent, functional state of the art new libraries for <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$13,000,000</B></FONT> these people are wanting a <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$26,000,000</B></FONT> facility. This makes no sense at all. From a design concern which could have been addressed with simple courtesy to those who asked, to only see a concept drawing more in keeping with downtown traditional  we now have realized that our opinions or desires account for nothing. Anyone actually surprised????</div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Arial" >     David goes on to tell us that Orillia's library is not a proper facility. But he then defeats that argument by telling us what wonderful results this facility has been and is providing. But then he tells us that all over the world cities large and small are building libraries as civic pride projects. But at what cost per square foot is the question that statement begs. Anyway, the contradictions continue. David then states " </FONT>The Orillia Public Library's heritage does not reside in any physical space. A new library building is merely a means to a greater end". So if all the successes David claims that this old library has had in spite of the building's draw backs then why couldn't a New, building twice the size of the present one and at a reasonable cost of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$13,000,000</B></FONT> be as successful and more than the old one. What would the additional cost of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$13,000,000</B></FONT> provide??? In David's own words "The Orillia Public Library's heritage does not reside in any physical space". So which is it? Is the libraries successes and continued success based solely on the building, whatever it looks like???? David used other communities as examples for us to emulate so I decide to check out Whitby Ont.</div> <div> Whitby <A HREF="http://www.whitbylibrary.on.ca/PDF_html/WPL_StPlan_Update_Sept20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.whitbylibrary.on.ca/PDF_html/"><U>http://www.whitbylibrary.on.ca/PDF_html/WPL_StPlan_Update_Sept20.htm</U></A></div> <div> In my web search I really didn't find much info but as usual a phone call found a lady by the name of Rhonda Jackson most helpful. Her information is as follows.</div> <div> Building size  56,000 sq. ft. </div> <div> Outside includes a civic square with water feature.</div> <div> Built in downtown Whitby opened late 2005</div> <div> Building is 2 stories above ground level with a 5,000 sq. ft. basement area</div> <div> Project cost <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$19,000,000</B></FONT> all inclusive including Soft Costs, and very extensive landscaping.</div> <div> This facility replaced a 16,000 sq. ft. facility.</div> <div> The library serves a city population of 100,000 plus surrounding areas which is many tens of thousand more.</div> <div> Whitby is presently in the process of building a new facility in Brooklyn which would replace the current 2,000 sq. ft. branch library.</div> <div> This new project is to be 38,000 sq. ft. all inclusive including Soft Costs. 10,000 sq. ft. dedicated to library with remainder for other community uses</div> <div> Project cost <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$14,500,000</B></FONT> <A HREF="http://www.whitbylibrary.on.ca/buildingindex.php" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.whitbylibrary.on.ca/buildingi"><U>http://www.whitbylibrary.on.ca/buildingindex.php</U></A></div> <div> So without wanting to sound anti library which I am not, I need to ask, why does our price come in so high???? Same architects. A building that is <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>39%</B></FONT> smaller with much less landscaping and no water feature which is very expensive. Unfortunately Rhonda didn't have the separated cost for the water feature but she did offer to find it if I really needed it. Rhonda then invited me or anyone else from Orillia to drive down hwy. 12 for a tour. She offered that if any groups were interested she would arrange a guided tour. Wonderful lady who obviously likes her job and facilities she works in.</div> <div>      Even if construction costs have gone up our proposed building is 39% smaller (15,000 sq. ft.), which based on $451.00 per square ft. cost presented by Shore Tilby should reduce the price by <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0033" FACE="Arial" ><B>$6,768,292</B></FONT>. </div> <bR> <bR> <div>                             Whitby                                                                                                             Orillia</div> <div> <IMG SRC="6b39c810.png" border=0 width="412" height="129" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="6b5a3800.jpg" border=0 width="419" height="128" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> I guess the argument that Shore Tilby needs to be paid for all their design work doesn't seem to be holding water. Judging by the pictures, the Whitby library looks very much the same as proposed for Orillia. Our design is not unique by any means is it. Looks to me Whitby got a fish tank and that is what Darcy wants to give Orillia, only for more money and no outside water feature. As I have said this deal makes no sense. </div> <div>      So David please, could you write again and this time do some research into what other communities are actually spending and what they get. If you are going to use other projects to justify what is happening here then please do your research. I am sure that if I were to phone any of David's other examples the same scenario would be found. Simply put, let's get on with telling Shore Tilby to either come up with an affordable project that suits our needs, our pocket books and compliments the surrounding architecture. If they can't, then hand Darcy his hat and wish him Adios. It is not too late to change some very poor decisions that were based on incomplete and misleading information. It should never be too late to change decisions that were based on lies and cover up. </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <div>      Sorry folks but it's not like these people hadn't been informed. For almost two years I have been ranting to non listeners. Today we might be stuck with something few want because quite frankly it's ugly. It destroys the downtown instead of complimenting it and we are paying twice as much for it than it is worth. We need a court challenge to simply stop this insanity that has overcome Orillia since Ron Stevens became mayor. We need a <B>Forensic Audit </B>to find out where all this money actually ends up and in whose pockets? None of this makes sense yet the likes of Stevens, Fecht, Speers, Evans, Cipolla, McMillan and Lauer ram it right  up our collective asses. The largest petition in the history of Orillia signed by 5,000 people and all they did was stick their middle finger in the air to us. Only in Orillia Eh!</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Mar. 10, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Is Library Challenge Going to Court?</B></div> <div>      Last night council in a recorded vote passed the acceptance of the construction tender for the Fish Tank Library. Despite opposition from a large majority of Orillia taxpayers this mayor and councillors who voted to proceed at any cost flipped them the bird. These guys are so desperate to waste our money that nothing would deter them from their squandering round. But if what I am hearing is true there maybe a holdup yet if the planned court challenge goes on. Once more mayor, councillors and city management have misread people's resolve to oppose their misguided decision.</div> <div>      The wide range of issues are all legitimate concerns that found no sympathy with the likes of Fecht, Lauer, McMillan, Spears, Evans, Cipolla and of course Stevens. These people ignored the majority to curry favour with a minority. According to Patrick Kehoe even a petition with 5,000 names couldn't sway them from their squandering rounds. "In addition, the voices of almost 5,000 petitioners who expressed concerns about location and the threat to our cherished cultural institutions were silenced without consideration." writes Mr. Kehoe. Wow! if there were <B>5,000 </B>signatures on this petition that represents more than <B>50%</B> of actual votes cast in the last election. Has there ever been a petition in this town of even close to 5,000 signators?</div> <div>      In his letter Pat very eloquently explained what this fight is not. "So what exactly is the issue? Let me first establish what it is not. Many to this day still believe this to be simply a clash between the forces for and against a new library but this is, and never has been the real issue. In fact, all stakeholders in the downtown have, from Day 1, supported a new downtown home for our library". While the likes of Evans claimed the issue was about people not wanting a library, Pat explains why he is wrong. There are many reasons people have given why they are not in favour of this project but I have yet to hear anyone saying they don't want a new library at all. </div> <div>      While it's true the people <B>Speaking Out</B> are against this project it is for very legitimate concerns which people like Fecht, Evans, Cipolla, Lauer, McMillan, Spears and Stevens didn't even bother to consider. Most people don't like the Fish Tank design. It is completely unsuitable for a downtown with a heritage theme. It is a monstrosity that belittles the efforts of most Orillian's to preserve our history and  build our future prosperity on it. A large majority of taxpayers are against the <B>$27,000,000</B> cost. It's easy to see that money is no object to the squanderers but it is an issue for those who are forced to pay for it.  Pat Kehoe writes "Both Orillia and the Town of Collingwood had identical library budgets in 2006 of <B>$9 million</B>. Collingwood is nearing completion of a LEED gold, heritage-inspired, 30,000 square-foot downtown library, <B>13%</B> below budget at <B>$7.8 million</B> (<B>$260 per square feet</B>) while Orillia, without a shovel in the ground is expected to exceed <B>$25 million</B> (<B>$609</B> square feet) or almost 300% more than the original budget". So why does a our project a mere 30% larger command a price tag <B>300%</B> higher. How is it that Collingwood can build for <B>$260</B> per square foot and our squanderers need <B>$609</B> per square foot? Oh! I guess I answered my own question. Why it;s because they are squanderers.</div> <div>      Mr. Kehoe goes on to explain another reason why people are against this project. "This issue is about heritage and how the heritage initiative could have established downtown Orillia as a relevant destination to the more than six million people within a 90-minute drive of our city. This downtown heritage initiative was to be furthered by the possibility of establishing downtown Orillia as a heritage conservation district as was detailed by Dr. Carl Bray in his presentation last week". Once built I don't believe that the downtown can be protected from other Fish Tanks being built. How could the city on the one hand defend heritage while on the other hand being responsible for destroying it? That my friends is an oxymoron very heavy emphasis on moron.</div> <div>      Patrick goes on "This issue is about community involvement. No other stakeholder, other than the library, had a seat on the planning team including neither the DOMB nor the farmers' market". Of course no one else was consulted. Had people been aware earlier there would have been more opposition and earlier. The library issue has been handled exactly the same way as the MURF was. Same sh*t different day but always the same set of squanderers. While there were two excellent options to the Fish Tank and the destruction of 80 some odd prime parking spaces neither of them were considered for even a moment.</div> <div>      Last but not least but what actually should be the first reason why people should be against what these people are doing. Pat puts it in no uncertain terms.</div> <div> " This issue is about proper planning and process or in the case of this project specifically, the absence of either. Not in my 30 years in the construction industry and the literally billions of dollars of projects in which I have been involved, have I ever witnessed a project so recklessly mishandled from the outset. <B>This project goes against every common sense rule of proper urban planning</B> from symbiotic </div> <div> institutional/commercial relationships, preservation of open space for revitalization initiatives, architectural consistency as well as the successful repurposing of vacant building assets. We've managed to break just about every rule known in our quest to construct the ultimate "do as we say, not as we do" edifice to ignorance". </div> <bR> <div>      In closing congratulations to Mike Fogarty and Wayne Gardy for not allowing themselves to be intimidated by the squanderers. I for one hope that there will be a court challenge based on what looks like pretty good arguments. I hope there will be community support for those who will make the effort to save our heritage and our wonderful downtown and farmer's market. The new library is a smashing idea. The design, cost and execution of the project deserves to be <B>smashed</B>.</div> <div> Here is Patrick Kehoe's entire letter  <a href="HTMLobj-2067/Letter_on_Library.pdf"><u>Letter_on_Library.pdf</u> </a>  </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Mar. 09, 2010</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>I really hate Dalton McGuinty</B></div> <div> Lesley says</div> <div> This arrogant man actually has the audacity to pontificate that increasing taxes in a recessionary economy will be good. I wonder what, if anything, is going through his mind.</div> <div> To be clear: under this latest scam we are going to pay an extra 8% on almost every purchase we make that doesn’t already have 8% PST on it, paying money that we have already been taxed on. </div> <div> This includes purchases that we don’t have a choice on whether or not to make, such as groceries, gas for the car, and home heating fuel. Stats Can has estimated that the average Ontario household will be forking over $600 more every year. That is the AVERAGE, which means your household has just as much chance of paying MORE than that as paying less. </div> <div> You have an extra 50 bucks per month lying around the house serving no good purpose anyway, don’t you? Sure you do!</div> <div> So, in an economy where people are losing their jobs; where hydro rates, insurance rates and the price of just about everything from groceries to fuel has increased, Dalton McGuinty thinks it is a good idea to suck some more money out of every consumer. What a genius.</div> <div> His pathetic lie this time is that businesses will save hoards of money and so they will pass the savings on to the consumer, and everything will be jolly good.</div> <div> Besides, he has decreased income taxes by 2 or so whole dollars every week (for those who are still lucky enough to have a job)! Wow, that will more than compensate for the 8% increase in heating fuel which is several hundred dollars per month. </div> <div> I will breathlessly await the notification in my hydro bill that my rates are going down because the Gliberals saved them so much money last quarter.</div> <div> No doubt the banks will be rushing to lower the outrageous fees they charge people, because the Gliberals have saved them so much cash. Ditto for the insurance companies. Surely Esso and Sunoco have already sketched out forecasts of how much they will be reducing the price at the pump.</div> <div> Remember how the ‘Health Care tax’ was going to save the Health Care System in Ontario?</div> <div> Geez, I wonder what happened?</div> <div> We have doctor shortages, burnt out nurses, long waits for appointments, people scheduled for surgery who discover on their arrival at the hospital that their procedure has been cancelled because there isn’t a bed for them, hospitals that constantly ‘fundraise’, yet can’t balance their budgets: the ‘care’ is atrocious, the food is an abomination, they charge for parking, and by the way, they could not function at all if it were not for the army of volunteers who work in them. </div> <div> And yet, the beacon of salvation, the Health Care Tax (cough cough) lives on.</div> <div> Money has not and will not solve that problem because money is not the problem. The approach to health care is the problem. Our approach to health care is drugs, radiation and surgery, which are just polite words for poisoning, burning and cutting/mutilation.</div> <div> The ‘health care’ system is not about health and it is not about care: it is about money, power and control, which is why, despite truckloads of evidence that the system is a train-wreck, nothing is done by the ‘powers that be’ to try to change it. </div> <div> Recently it has been reported that there is a risk that outpatient services will be reduced, beds closed, nurses laid off and emergency rooms closed in hospitals throughout Ontario!</div> <div> Hello??? Anyone notice the system isn’t working???</div> <div> Moving on.</div> <div> Lest we forget: $1 Billion dollars wasted on the E-Health scandal. That’s a BILLION dollars, folks; a thousand million dollars of your money, my money, and our neighbours’ money that WE worked for – wasted by a bunch of greedy, despicable politicians and their ‘friends’, while people who paid the money suffer and die, victims of a largely useless system that, at best, focuses on managing the effects of illness rather than removing the causes. Heads should roll, starting with McGuilty. </div> <div> We also recently experienced the little OLGC scandal – where more of our money was spent frivolously by executives. </div> <div> Two years ago, there was a larger scandal at the OLGC regarding inappropriate prize awards and inadequate supervision.</div> <div> In 2006, the OLGC spent somewhere between $4 and $6 million dollars to drop the ‘C’ from its name and become the Ontario Lottery Corporation. What a disgusting waste of money that could have been spent on schools or hospitals that the Corporation supposedly supports.</div> <div> Has everyone read up on Bill 150, the ‘Green Energy Act’? What a total farce this thing is!! </div> <div> Basically, folks in Ontario will end up paying about $1,200 per year more for hydro, natural gas etc. Oh, did I mention that is BEFORE PST/HST? </div> <div> Furthermore, an independent study found that the promise of 50,000 new jobs is bunk, a lie. Actually, the study found that the higher costs will likely have the opposite effect; jobs will (surprise!!) be lost. </div> <div> So, again, we have the Gliberal, Fiberal, McLiars in Queen’s Park jamming their filthy, grubby, greasy fingers deeper and deeper into our pockets. </div> <div> Oh, and how about that new Trillium logo? Now, there is an impressive accomplishment. Come on, you know it is. It was a bargain, too! It cost a paltry $219,000 to design. What a deal. Besides, it gave the people in the Ministry of Developing and Implementing Useless Projects (MDIUP) something to do.</div> <div> One last thing – I’m sure most people in this area will remember McGuilty’s recent visit to this area. You know, the one where he refused to talk to Site 41 protesters and told a reporter at a Tim Horton’s coffee shop that ‘the best advice’ he was given was ‘that (Site 41) is viable’. </div> <div> What a stupid thing to say. Why is ‘advice’ that the site is viable better than ‘advice’ that the site is not viable? That the site is viable is ‘better advice’, because that means all the greedy politicians, bureaucrats and corporations get their pockets lined with more of our money!</div> <div> I really hate Dalton McGuinty.</div> <div> Did I mention I really hate Dalton McGuinty?</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Mar. 08, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Back to Square One</B></div> <div> The following is an item from <A HREF="http://stopdumpsite41.ca/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://stopdumpsite41.ca/"><U>http://stopdumpsite41.ca/</U></A>.

It could have put an end to a divisive issue in Simcoe County by revoking the Certificate of Approval that allows Site 41 to be operated as a landfill site.</div> <div> “I’m appalled by the hypocrisy of the County and of the Province,” said Judith Grant, chair of the Federation of Tiny Township Shoreline Associations, whose members played a key role in persuading MPPs from all parties to get Bill 32 past second reading. “The Province passes the Clean Water Act that sets standards that this landfill would not meet, then supports an outmoded decision. County Councillors vote to ‘halt’ work on the dumpsite under huge pressure from residents, then refuse to ask to have the C of A withdrawn.”</div> <div> Dump Site 41 has been a source of contention for nearly 30 years in Simcoe County. Its environmental assessment is the only one in Ontario ever to have been turned down by the Environmental Assessment Board. That was in the 1980s. But the then Liberal government overrode this by Cabinet order.</div> <div> After decades of protest and wrangling. not to mention the advent of new schemes for waste reduction and management, Simcoe County Council finally voted last fall not to proceed with their mega-dump on Site 41 in Tiny Township. But they left its Certificate of Approval in place.</div> <div> Grant questioned whether the work has been truly halted. “The mothballing has not been complete. Many key engineering elements — the pond, the berms, the roads — are still in place.”</div> <div> “We followed the rules, we played the game and then they moved the goal posts,” said Anne Ritchie-Nahuis of the Site 41 group. “This has happened time and time again. The political process is not here to serve the people.”</div> <div> Ritchie-Nahuis said the experience was very disappointing for the thousands of people who worked so hard to get Bill 32 to the point where it had been referred to the Standing Committee on Justice Policy.</div> <div> She regretted that Simcoe County councillors had not supported Bill 32, as it would have provided compensation to the County, something that Environment Minister John Gerretsen has opposed.</div> <bR> <div> <B>My reply / my vent</B></div> <bR> <div> There was never any intention to actually shutdown this dump site by  government or the MURF site in Orillia. The County and the Ontario government represented by the Liberal Party does not want to lose these issues to the people. Just like the Mike Harris Conservatives didn't want to lose to the people. Way too much is at stake. If Simcoe County or the people of Orillia  win that would set an example and precedence for all the other trouble spots in Ontario to see and that can not be allowed.</div> <div> The same scenario is being played out here in Orillia. After years of fighting for a clean up of the MURF site before it is built on, the MOE all of a sudden claims it is safe to build on? Not one ounce of contaminants have been cleaned from this site. The only toxins not there today are the ones that have been squeezed off into our ground water and both Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching spreading the toxins farther and farther a field.</div> <div> The MOE or the provincial government never had any intention of making sure this site, which is more contaminated with TCE's than Love Canal would be cleaned up. Orillia City council has pissed away $15,000,000 so far in an effort to not clean it up with not even a hole to show for it. So if anyone thinks that either Orillia or County council will do the right thing you can forget it. If anyone thinks that your health, environment or water is being protected and looked after forget about it. We don't have anyone in power who can be trusted, on these or any issues if it means that they will lose their control over the people. Looks like we can look forward to another 20 years of fighting with tens of millions more dollars wasted.</div> <div> I am getting sick of saying this over and over again. We must start the process of change by putting in power those people whom we the people control. I have set out my thoughts and frankly even I am thinking the problem is not the politicians but us. It's almost like people want to keep fighting tanks with bows and arrows and sling shots. Some people who post here regularly still think that playing nice just might work. Please wake up people. You have been had and you are back at the begining. What part of this don't you understand. They win we lose. So play your little games while they destroy and take back everything you thought was won. It wasn't won and it won't be won unless there are at least 18 County councillors under contract to us or 5 Orillia coucillors. Otherwise take down all the rhetoric and start living your lives. Drink the poisoned water and like it. Nurse your children's and grandchildren's cancers.</div> <div> Does anyone of you realize that Soldiers Memorial Hospital for more than a year now has a cancer clinic for children. Yes that's right, for children. Last report I heard, they have 61 active patients at all times and growing. Children for Christ's sake. Let's play chicken folks. Let's make it 121 children next year and 240 the following. I am sick to death as people sit around and let the suffering continue while they are wanting to play nice. Wake up, we have one opportunity this year and then it is gone for another four years. It's time for each of you to step back and look in the mirror. If you like what you see then please continue on. Keep playing your games of writing letters that go unread, signing petitions that are ignored and sit at council meetings and in the legislature. Non of it has worked and you will be still doing it 20 years from now. This mess can only be blamed on those who played nice over the last 20 years while the likes of Tony Guergis, Ron Stevens (mayor of Orillia) Premier MaGuinty, Bruce Stanton and Garfield Dunlop betrayed all of us. What has been tried doesn't work nor has it worked.

Exposed</B></div> <div>      I thought maybe a good way to go on was to let people see why it is so important to do due diligence before parting with your hard earned money. When I first started to look into charities it was because of the treatment dealt to a woman by a Barrie charity. I was outraged and decided to see if Orillia charities might be different. What I found was it isn't. Huge amounts of money are collected with very little actually getting to those that donors think their gift is for. Two examples so far show how needed resources for those who are supposed to be the beneficiaries gets used up with very little ever going to those in need.</div> <div>      This will be the last charity I will report on and hope that the local news organizations will take up cause to expose the many others that are no better than these three examples. All information I share is public and is available at <A HREF="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/charity-eng.action?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%3A80%2Febci%2Fhaip%2Fsrch%2Fbasicsearchresult-eng.action%3Fs%3D%2B%26amp%3Bk%3DNATIVE%2BCHILDREN%2527S%2BFOUNDATION%2BOF%2BCANADA%2BINC.%26amp%3Bp%3D1%26amp%3Bb%3Dtrue&bn=881617617RR0001" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/"><U>NATIVE CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION OF CANADA INC.</U></A>. As with the Community Foundation and the Sharing place this charities' numbers don't make sense and should be investigated by the authorities. When I decided to look further into charities this was the first one I picked because it's name indicates that their efforts are supposed to be for children. </div> <div>      My family and I have been raising money for Sleeping Children Around the World for many years. The first thing I did when we were made aware of it, was to do my due diligence. What I found is a charity that indeed is a charity with the vast amount of monies going to the benefit of those who it is raised for. Here is their web-site for those of you who might want to do your own due diligence. <A HREF="http://scaw.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://scaw.org"><U>http://scaw.org</U></A> Here also is the link to their Revenue Canada information <A HREF="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/charity-eng.action?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cra-arc.gc.ca%3A80%2Febci%2Fhaip%2Fsrch%2Fbasicsearchresult-eng.action%3Fs%3D%2B%26amp%3Bk%3Dsleeping%2Bchildren%2Baround%2Bthe%2Bworld%26amp%3Bp%3D1%26amp%3Bb%3Dtrue&bn=131634396RR0001" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/"><U>Rev Can SCAW</U></A> Check their filings out and see what a charity should be and compare their expenses vs what the 3 Orillia ones I have exposed.

It is being operated out of a waterfront home on Couchiching Point. In my opinion it is setup for no more than creating expenses. How many of you have realized a 50% increase in wages over the last 6 years? Year two the wage was $40,299. In year 7 it had grown to $77,300. Look at the amount spent on travel. Seems excessive to me. So while people believe their money is going to help Native Children a mere 21% makes it there if indeed it actually ever gets to the children. You see in most cases when funds are said to go to Qualified Donees it means that the recipient is actually another charity. Not always, but mostly that is the fact. Now when a charity gives to another charity it means that some of the donation actually will help pay for the Donee's own operating expense. Let's say the Donee's operate their organizations the same as The Native Children's Foundation? So of the <B>$152,288</B> that would actually get to native children there would only be <B>$31,980</B> left after expenses. That's right. If the Donee's expenses run at <B>81%</B> the same as Native Children's the children the needy would end up with <B>$31,980</B>. That my friends is  (<B>4 1/2 %</B>) four and one half percent.</div> <div>      This scenario just goes on and on. The Sharing Place, the Community Foundation and now this one. I looked at three charities and all three of them come up with the same scenario. Coincidence or is this a pattern? Unfortuneately this is common behaviour.</div> <div>      Take the <B>$208,000</B> that the Community Foundation donated to Qualified Donees. If the Donees overheads are the same as my three examples then out of the pitiful<B> $208,000</B> handed out by the Community Foundation a mere <B>$41,600</B> actually reached the needy. That is, after people and business donated <B>$1,300,000 </B>again a mere three point two percent (<B>3.2%</B>). Folks, I wish this was a sick joke. Unfortunately this whole charity business is a nightmare. It's a nightmare for all those who give from their hearts and compassion for their fellow man. But it is a bigger nightmare for those who are told that all these monies are being donated but never seem to get much of it. No wonder the needy will always be needy with these kind of people looking after their charitable interests. Makes me sick as all of you should be sick reading this. It's time  to make changes. It's time to help those who need help and expose those who run these types of operations in the name of the poor, disadvantaged, aged, children, handicapped, homeless, working poor, God and all the other groups who are the most vulnerable. Yes this is the Orillia I have been seeing for the last ten years and have been trying to get you to listen. It is why I have been Speaking Out. While I will leave the Charity subject to the authorities and would be most happy to help them in their investigation, it is now your responsibility to make sure that the Packet, Orillia Today and the authorities hear your demands for justice. It's easy for them to ignore me, not so easy for them to ignore all of you. I know you are caring. I know you are generous. I know that the vast majority in Orillia and area are honest and hardworking. And I also know that with you saying <B>Enough</B> is <B>Enough</B> we can make Orillia and area the type of community we all want for our children. Do come back as there is more corruption as it seems to never end. Make sure you share this site with all your contacts, friends, neighbours and family. </div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Feb. 27, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>"It is Not a Public Organization"</B></div> <div>      The biggest problem with these so called charities is that some of those running them actually believe that statement. Don Evans happens to be one of them, as that is what he said in Orillia Today. But he is not unique among those who partake in the spoils from their ever so public pleas for more and more donations, while those in whose name they are asking for get less and less. The Sharing Place is not unique nor the first or the last. Until Revenue Canada and the authorities start taking their responsibility more seriously, the waste and greed will simply carry on. One of the tests for a charity is and should be that substantially more funds are used for the benefit of the needy than for the operation of the organization. A charity should not be sitting on large amounts of money  in bank accounts either. The financial statements of expenses should reflect  a reasonable cost vs revenue generated and gifts flowing for charitable purpose.</div> <div>      In looking into the two organizations I have written about the inconsistence's and amounts of revenue actually benefiting the needy falls way short of what is reasonable. If one compares the years 2000 to 2009 it is easy to see that when Don Evans was hired expenses sky rocketed. While some revenues did increase, as a percentage the needy received a mere 20% of funds raised in 2008. This is not nor should it be acceptable. I will attempt to show you why much of what goes on does not make sense from the returns filed with Revenue Canada for The Sharing Place.</div> <bR> <div> <B>2006</B></div> <div> Total revenue from fundraising <B>4630 $12,367</B></div> <bR> <div> Total fundraising expenditures included in line 4950 <B>5020 $556</B></div> <div> Now that is a nice return and reasonable.</div> <bR> <div> <B>2007</B></div> <div> Total revenue from fundraising <B>4630  $0</B></div> <bR> <div> Total fundraising expenditures included in line 4950 <B>5020  $2,910</B></div> <div> No funds raised yet costs went up by 500% Not very good but some you win but over all still positive results over the 2 years.</div> <bR> <div> But then we come to 2008 when Don Evans is hired with an additional $51,000 cost plus expenses.</div> <bR> <div> <B>2008</B></div> <div> Total revenue from fundraising <B>4630  $0</B></div> <bR> <div> Total fundraising expenditures included in line 4950 <B>5020 $22,182</B></div> <bR> <div> So while fundraising expenses rose by 762% from the year before Don managed to raise <B>$0 nada, nothing</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>2009</B></div> <div> Total non tax-receipted revenue from fundraising <B>4630  $0</B></div> <bR> <div> Total expenditures on fundraising <B>5020 $26,247</B></div> <bR> <div> Does this make any sense? If it doesn't make sense then there is something that needs looking into. In checking previous years up to 2006 there are no fundraising expenses nor funds raised. That makes sense. But spending a total of $48,429 over two years on fund raising and having a return of $0 nada, nothing surely must raise some eyebrows. Now I didn't make this information up or pulled it from an old straw hat . It is information that the organization and Don Evans reported themselves to Revenue Canada. </div> <div> Don Evans is quoted in the Orillia Today saying the following.</div> <div> <B>"Most intelligent people who bother to educate themselves would come to me or the board members and say, "What is happening here? Is this true? How much of what is being floated around is accurate?''' Evans said. They would be given the answer and they could decide one way or another whether they support the organization. That is not what we are seeing here".</B></div> <div> Seeing that Don doesn't think I am very intelligent and claims I have not educated myself to the return he and the board filed, then maybe he could explain where or what the $48,429 was used for. I mean, could this money have really been used for fundraising when no fundraising revenues were shown??? At the risk of repeating myself, it is a criminal offence to make a false statement or false representation to Revenue Canada, punishable by a fine and or jail time or both. Two years running this report claimed very high expenses yet not one cent of revenue was raised from fundraising??? So maybe Don  and the board could answer the question. Either you raised monies which seem to be unaccounted for or the expenses claimed for fundraising went to something or someone and were not legitimate expenses. Either way false representations have been made since Don has taken charge. So which is it folks?</div> <div>      The truth is that if you take away the $77,449 that was given to the Sharing Place in 08/09 by the Trillium Foundation,  no new money has been raised by Don. The Trillium money is granted by simply filling out an application. No salesmanship needed and no political influence allowed. By the way using political influence is also against Revenue Canada policy and could actually jeopardize the Sharing Place's charitable status if any was used. Looks to me like someone needs to explain just what and where all these monies are going and for what? While the hungry are turned away and people give generously, thinking they are making a difference, the effort to help feed people seems to be going nowhere.</div> <bR> <div> So here are the numbers that actually mean anything in this argument and people should be outraged with.</div> <bR> <div> Operating Expenses before Don Evans for 06/07                 $  51,258</div> <div> Operating Expenses with Don Evans for     08/09                  <U>$223,178</U></div> <div> Operating expense increase                                                     $171,920</div> <bR> <div> Revenue raised in 2006 and 2007 before Don                      $185,268</div> <div> Revenue raised in 2008 and 2009 after Don                          <U>$396,420</U></div> <div> Increase in revenue including Trillium Foundation                  $211,152</div> <bR> <div> If we remove the Trillium donation/grant received 08/09       <U>$ -77,449</U></div> <div> That means that Don actually only raised                                $133,703 </div> <bR> <div> That is a whopping $38,217 <B>less</B> donation revenue than was raised in 06 / 07 before Don took control. So what is Don Evans actually getting paid for and what are these exhorbitant expenses being paid out for?</div> <bR> <div> <B>Trillium Foundation Mandate To Funding Recipient</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Sharing Place Orillia Incorporated will be given</B></div> <div> $150,500 over three years to improve the provision of emergency food to people in Simcoe County by building this agency's infrastructure and <B>increasing its fundraising capacity. </B></div> <div> Sorry for all of you who believed what Don and the board members said. The numbers simply say different.</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Sharing Place Treasurer Michael Craig is quoted in Orillia Today saying that "Donations have more than doubled" </B></div> <bR> <div>      I hope the board and especially the treasurer do their <B>Due Diligence</B> and clear up their mis-statement on this matter. If by chance they don't understand simple grade 5 arithmatic I am sure who ever they pay that whopping $4,400 for professional advice should be able to help them. If they wish, I would be happy to sit down with all of them and set them straight. More coming on<B> Charities in Orillia</B> so please do come back and let your friends, neighbors and family know about <B>Speaking Out</B> so they too can be informed. And don't forget to keep the pressure on Orillia Today and the Packet to get to the bottom of what is going on with this organization and others. Contrary to what Don Evans says The Sharing Place is a Public Organization and is accountable to clients, donors and the public as all <B>Charities</B> should be and in fact are even if only held accountable by myself.</div> <div>      In closing, I need to express my disappointment in Frank Matys. You see, I told Frank to run the numbers because the numbers show the truth of what is going on. Frank, claimed he couldn't talk because he had another story going on and he had to talk to this "guy" (Folks, he called me and had no time to get the story right?). I warned Frank that he should not treat this lightly and to get the facts and all the information. He promised to call me back (not surprisingly) but never did. It only leads me to believe that his story was already written and he needed to go fishing hoping to get me to say something that could be twisted to suit the existing story. I can assure everyone that I had my facts and even quoted Frank numbers to look for and where to look for them. I also offered to sit down with him so that there would be no misunderstanding on his part. He chose not to do that and went on publishing the article not only misrepresenting our conversation but actually becoming a co-conspirator in the cover up of what is going on at the Sharing Place. As I have said before, I hope that one day there will be a real newspaper in Orillia that which will actually work in the public's interest. I also found it amusing how Frank's article failed to inform the public of what web-site was actually making allegations by leaving out the web-sites name (Is that balanced journalism??). Instead his story refers to this page only as "an on line attack" or simply as "the web page". More proof that Orillia Today simply does not want people informed.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <bR> <div>      </div> <bR> <div> <B>Feb. 25, 2010</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Who should the public believe???</B></div> <div>      I received an e-mail from a merchant downtown.

I know they don't investigate and for sure they have been very busy over the years trying to tarnish my character. Why a few years ago most of the an editorial page was devoted to discredit me. Easy to go back to all the stories where I was a rabble rouser, watch dog, radical, wanabe and more. But it seems not of it has stuck. The reason is that over these 8 years I have been proven right over and over again. And I don't mean just on the MURF site. My beef has and is been that the Packet has no Character because it is too busy looking after their own interest.</div> <div>      So let's look at this Sharing Place and Community Foundation situation. I have made no accusations but presented facts furnished by these two organizations themselves. If the donations of $208,000 over 9 years by the Foundation is not correct then I believe they could easily correct it but they don't. If the $799,000 spent in order to give this $208,000 away is not correct then again it is up to them to correct it. But not a word from the Foundation as yet. Today there was word from Don Evans and some of the board members of The Sharing Place. Now this would have given opportunity for the Packet to grab onto this story and clear the air. But they have chosen not to. Instead they try to threaten me through a third party who went to them with an honest request. By the way some of the information I use and is disturbing to the organizations and the Packet is actually from the Packet. So if the Packet has not been reporting things as they are then I suggest the ball is in their court. But rather than get off subject I need to answer back to Evans and his board and what they said in the Orillia Today article this very day.</div> <div>      First of all as i am a stickler for accuracy Hefferon the president of the organization says that Evans was hired close to three years ago. It is not near 3 years but only 2 years and a bit. It is also said in the article that i was unaware that the $55,000 figure for salaries included Evans and an assistant. First of all my story started in 2008 when Evans was hired at $51,000 as the only employee. One can easily check the Packet writ up of how Evans is the sole paid employee. I brought in the $55,000 paid out to management for 2009 criticizing the increase in pay. If you go to the <A HREF="http://www.sharingplaceorillia.org/newsevents/select_category/1/index.php" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.sharingplaceorillia.org/newse"><U>http://www.sharingplaceorillia.org/newsevents/select_category/1/index.php</U></A> web-site there is simply no information on the hiring of an assistant. But the management remuneration did change. so let me be clear so that the board and Don Evans along with the Packet will understand it. Don Evans started at $51,000 in fiscal 2008 and is now close to starting his third year or has just past his anniversary. Not that it makes a hill of beans because he has accomplished absolutely nothing for the needy. Expenses have increased so much that as an average of the two years Evans has been in charge the amount going to clients has actually dropped.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> 2006</div> <div> Bank $33,545</div> <div> Revenue $91,765</div> <div> Non food expenses $22,695</div> <div> Food?? purchase $41,395</div> <div> 45% of revenue spent on food</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> 2007</div> <div> Bank $106,893</div> <div> Donations $93,503</div> <div> Non Food Expense $30,530</div> <div> Food?? purchase $31,497</div> <div> 33% of revenue spent on food</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> 2008</div> <div> Bank $142,588</div> <div> Revenue $199,761</div> <div> Non Food Expense $82,146</div> <div> Food?? purchase $39,773</div> <div> 20% of revenue spent on food</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> 2009</div> <div> Bank $184,642</div> <div> Revenue $196,659</div> <div> Non Food Expenses $96,659</div> <div> Food?? purchase $79,078</div> <div> 40% of revenue spent on food</div> <bR> <div>      It was reported in the Packet that Don Evans told the Washago Rotary Club that "85 per cent of the food distributed by the Orillia Food Bank is purchased by Sharing Place. So the need for funds is always there." But what Don did not tell the Rotary Club or anyone else for that matter is that under his watch in the first year only 20% of the money donated actually bought food. Don took back with him a total of $134 donated when the Rotary members passed the hat. I wonder how they feel now knowing that of that donation only $26.80 actually reached their intended beneficiary. Folks there is something very wrong here. While people are being turned away by the organizations own admission those who give from their hearts and pocket books don't know that very little reaches those who need it and should be getting it. All this information comes from the board and Don Evans. I couldn't make this stuff up no one could. But I don't need to make it up simply because it is true. If this harms the reputation of those responsible for this travesty then in my mind it is deserved. Since 2006 to 2009 while people were being turned away this organization's bank account grew by 550%. Money in the bank does not feed people. Charities crying poor while collecting donations do not have a moral right and maybe not even a legal right to be hoarding money. If the money is there then maybe people should be given groceries twice a month. Tonight's supper only lasts till breakfast and then hunger returns. Sending people to other places to be helped while $184,642 sits in the bank is unacceptable to the clients and to the donors.</div> <div>      I also have a hard time believing that 85% of food given out is purchased. Walk by any donation box at any grocery store and someone is always giving. Why a little country school like Uptergrove collected 205,000 food items alone last year. Again what the Board and Don  say does not compute with what they do and the facts. If the Packet or the Sharing Place would care to discuss these numbers and prove them wrong I look forward to anyone to do due diligence. I don't expect it, but then the last 10 years has shown me that the Packet looks after the Packet first and foremost. As I have said before, I hope one day Orillia will have a FREE press that will look after the common interest regardless of the consequences to their bottom line.</div> <div>      Last thing and I will close. I was aware of the Trillium donation/grant because it has been listed on the Sharing Place web-site. What I was not aware of was that the increase of $4,000 in costs for management remuneration was for a second body. Nothing was announced. Never in my wildest dreams could I have pictured there being enough work for Don Evans alone, never mind a second person. To do what? Lower the percentage of donations going to the needy?  More to come please do return and please keep up the pressure for an accounting  and on Orillia Today and the Packet to report what is happening with this organization and others.</div> <div> jim tolnai</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>We Still Need a Forensic Audit</B></div> <div> <B>We Still Need a Judicial Inquiry</B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Audit the Library Project as Well </B></div> <div> <B>We Need to Impeach Mayor Ron Stevens</B></div> <div>
