Hi Webbers
Well, it has been a long time coming but at last the move has been made, promoted by “his vision” by the Mayor of Puslinch, the Court cases Plaintiff, Bradford Whitcombe. I refer to, of course, the “Big Lake Project” proposed and promoted as “lemonade from lemons” etc. Another very, very questionable project to add to the Carroll Pond Municipal Drain/TransX/C.B.M. Project under investigation by the M.O.E. Investigative Team in Hamilton. By copy of this report I wish to urge them to consider the following detailed audit trail of known facts and information submitted to them almost )1) year ago, during our many, many interactory meetings on the Carroll Pond issue in general, and focused on the contamination water issue.
What, you may ask, has this to do with a plausible, seemingly legitimate “vision” which can only enhance a chronic problem in Puslinch, towards good news from bad? I know, I know, “What is this guy Manderson up to now? Does he have credibility in this issue? Justification?”
YES! Here is why! On a letter dated 23rd August 2008 (Click here), addressed to Mr. Eric Manson, C.E.O. St Mary / C.B.M., I addressed C.B.M.’s Mr. Paul Hartnett’s reversal of stated issue on non treated storm water being received on St Mary / C.B.M. property as an integral plan within the Carroll Pond Municipal Drain project. For the record, some 9 months later, I have not received a response to my letter, which in on record with the M.O.E. Investigators.
It is my submission that Mr. Hartnett’s reversal decision was, as indicated in my letter, a product of a meeting between Brad Whitcombe, Brenda Law, Glen Harrington and Paul Hartnett, held on site, at the C.B.M. property adjoining the planned transfer pipe, under McLean road, which will carry storm water from TransX, through the Carroll Pond system onto the C.B. M. site. A cleverly conceived plan, which violates the Environmental Act. You cannot, and will not, transfer untreated storm water across property lines, even in Puslinch! That is the Environmental Act mandated Law!
But they have, and knowingly so!
I had met with Mr. Hartnett and explained in great detail, in good faith, to prevent his employer, C.B.M., from aiding and abetting an Environmental Act stipulation. Mr. Hartnett was convinced otherwise. Did he confer with his superiors, as was my understanding he would do? If so, is his now reversal a product of his consultation with his superiors, who would appraise him of the ongoing discussions with the Township (et al) and their planned intent to become partners in another high yielding dollar opportunity at next to no cost?
Let me lay it out for you!
There is no doubt that C.B.M.’s extraction of prime quality gravel on the sites on Concession #2 in Puslinch has been most profitable. But wait, did this extraction create (2) extensive ponds in the area? Yes! But wait a minute, did this extraction at the (2) sites result in two ponds with the equivalent of an Isthmus of gravel rich land separating the two ponds from the extraction sites? Yes! But wait a minute, why don’t we, C.B.M., apply for a permit to remove the Isthmus, with rich gravel, and create (1) big, big lake? A brilliant idea guys!! Eureka!! Wait a minute, why don’t we enter into an agreement on the Carroll Pond violation, and we, the Township of Puslinch and C.M.B. form our secret partnership to seek many stakeholders in the formation of Investors, Government (both Federal and local), maybe even Provincial, who will buy the land from its current owners, C.B.M., then develop it at Taxpayers and stakeholders costs for an Aquatic Recreation Facility, just like the one in Alloa, Scotland, and Melborne, Australia, identified by Bill Manderson as a rehabilitation of gravel puts in Puslinch in his proposal in 2003! I would call Mr. Whitcombe’s claimed vision only just re-visionary, wouldn’t you? But let us not stop there.
C.B.M/St Mary’s could sell “a big hole in the ground” for big bucks, it is full of water, where did the water come from” Don’t say heaven! C.B.M. made millions of dollars from the extraction which created this opportunity to be exploited by the visionaries who will carve up the profits! Great – C.B.M. removes gravel…creates ponds…has made commitments for rehabilitation. What better rehab than to do nothing, sell the water based product of years of extraction, full of water. You must admit – it truly is a “sweetheart deal.”
Says Puslinch to C.B.M., “I’ll tell you what, you get us out of our troubles around violation of the Environmental Act per the Carroll Pond project and we’ll cut you in on the Big Lake project. You will compound your profit and cost avoid rehabilitation of the (2) pond site on Concession #2 and make as much money from the sale of the hole in the ground than what you received from the extraction which created the hole in the ground! There will be enough money to go round, if you get my drift!” Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Come on here people, Archie MacRobbie could not have planned it better! Hey, wait a minute, maybe he did!
Now you know Webbers why we are in Court, and why they want to shoot the messenger. I would call upon the M.O.E. Investigation Team, currently focused on TransX/Carroll Pond Municipal Drain issues to expand you area of focus to include the Big Lake project as motive for your current issues under investigation. The ball, currently, is in your court. Come on Minister Cansfield, how many issues do you need on your plate to force you down to Earth from your elevated pedestal? Do your job Minister – Now!!!
Keep webbing Webbers, all will be well! Promise! Ripped off again!!

Re: Your letter (copy attached) pertaining to my letter of October 20th, 2008 (copy attached ref: Jassal Severance Application #B99/08-1684963)
I thank you for your prompt response to my letter, to Warden Green et al, dated October 20th, 2008. Your sensitivity of time consumption is appreciated, all things considered.
Upon review, we feel it would be an inappropriate financial cost of the O.M.B. Process to be borne by the Taxpayers at this time. I’m sure you will agree, having knowledge of the ongoing M.O.E. Investigation, that we, at minimum, should reverse the Land Division Decision, and freeze the application pending the conclusion of the M.O.E. Investigation of the Carroll Pond Municipal Drain/TransX/C.B.M. issue.
We, at Smelly-Welly.com, believe with the concurrence of our interactory team, that this would be the Civically Responsible thing to do! Would you not agree? We can’t afford another Patrick Sage Versus the County of Wellington Matter, with huge costs to the Taxpayers? Can we? In this Application Case, you must agree, which are identified, and known, to the Land Committee Members. We urge you all to do your Ethical Civic Duty!!
By copy of this letter, we will inform the respective Ministerial interested parties who, like ourselves, await the final submission of the M.O.E. Investigator’s Report.
Mr. Guthrie, please behave with due diligence and perform your duty to the Law and the Taxpayers of Wellington County, who, after all, are funding your retainer, not your client!
We await your expedient response with professional courtesy, Mr. Guthrie. It would be foolish to knowingly compound a very bad, current situation. Would you not agree?

Re: CBM Partnership in Puslinch Township Council’s Carroll Pond Municipal Drain in Aberfoyle
In late March 2008, your Mr. Paul Hartnett raised a serious concern related to the distinct probability that St. Mary’s/C.B.M., per Township’s Proposed Plan, would receive contaminated water into the designed collection pond, located on the C.B.M. Aberfoyle property, on McLean Road, Aberfoyle/Puslinch. We vigorously supported Mr. Hartnett in his interpretation of the Final Plan Presentation, related to the Project, given by Mr. Grahlmann (P.Eng) of the Project Engineering firm, Gamsby & Mannerow, as is recorded
We warmed to Mr. Hartnett’s comprehension of what was being proposed. A Direct Violation of the Environmental Act. Mr. Hartnett and I started an ongoing dialog which culminated in my sharing with him our Evidentiary Package which ultimately forced a Guilty Plea in Provincial Court, by one of our accused parties for Environmental Act Violations.
Mr. Hartnett admitted to me, after his return to me of my Good Faith documentation, that he would not be elevating the information to his superiors in St. Mary’s/C.B.M. Hence this well-intentioned letter.
Mr. Madson, we feel we have met our responsibilities of fairness in this matter, by sharing with you legitimate details of your companies future exposure to being further dragged into a planned court case, the evidence of which is being addressed as a continuance of the TransX guilty plea. We would expect your investigation in these matters which will, if left as is, reflect very badly on St. Mary’s/C.B.M., thereby staining their excellent record of proven sincerity in their pledge for Rehabilitation of the extracted pits, not to mention the confidence loss, in the Public eye, with stakeholders/shareholders.
I’m sure you are sensitive to this, however, the timing of Mr. Hartnett’s reversal of opinion and decision not to elivate, coincides with the “not so published” Joint Project on Concession #2 in Puslinch. The removal by gravel extraction of the neck of land, gravel rich, between the (2) existing ponds, thereby creating a large, large pond with multiple opportunities for development as an integrated Rehabilitation Plan does raise questions!
We will be pleased to co-operate with you in Good Faith in these matters, with the expected reciprocation. Please contact me through our website’s email address at info@smelly-welly.com . You can count on my honest sharing, except for the details of the current Investigation information being reviewed and considered by, amongst others, the M.O.E. Investigative Branch (Hamilton).
Yours truly,
Bill Manderson

PS. I enclose background documentation for your consideration. Thank you! Bill Manderson
The month of May 2008 will mark the “Turning of the Tide” related to the R.L.G.’s planned exposure of Municipal Corruption, in the “Corporations” of “both Councils,” I refer to, of course, Puslinch Township and Wellington County!
The 4 year old “Con Job” with reference to the TransX site, its former owners Jimmy ‘D’ Transport and, possibly for a very short period of time, Copart, has been a challenge to both adversaries, (deleted), and the R.L.G., the good guys, representing the Taxpayers of Wellington County.
The events of the past (2) weeks have been the source of Smelly-Welly.com hilarity, most welcomed in timing! We couldn’t believe the bare faced lie told before full County Council by a red-faced (deleted), interjecting to answer a question of Roads Committee Chairman Carl Hall by Councillor Maieron, pertaining to the “ Carroll Pond Municipal Drain.” (Deleted) strongly denied any co-relation between the Carroll Pond Municipal Drain and TransX court appearance.
In desperation to cover-up the (deleted), (deleted) again lied through his teeth! No relationship? Go read your documentation folks! The man is a pathological liar, with a straight face, although somewhat red in colour! (Deleted)
The facts currently before the Court, and publicly issued Post-Verdict File of Evidence, will point the way to the exposure of a long standing and multi-implemented course of (deleted), controlled, planned and implemented by (deleted), at cost financially, to the Taxpayers of both Township and County!
Governmental Investigative Organizations are individually and collectively working diligently, and with conviction, to establish the irrefutable evidence of Municipal Corruption, and will seek justice for the victims of which there are many! The TransX guilty plea will bring with it many surprises I assure you! The first domino has been pushed over, stand back and enjoy the show! But of course, only if you yourself are not in any way implicated!
To focus squarely on the events of the full County Council debate on the Carroll Pond Municipal Drain and its costs allocation, I will only refer to the points raised and by whom, with my observations to illustrate the glaring, at least to me, Con Job, pre-rehearsed by the “very amateur players upon the stage,” strutting their stuff as pathetic examples of Blind Allegiance to their leader, (deleted). Let’s just look at them and their arguments against the Appeal, structured by the Warden, Mr. John Green, during the Roads Committee Meeting. I believe Mr. Green is genuine in his statement of concerns quoted in the newspaper, and his dedication to duty by leaving a sick bed suffering from pneumonia and its energy sapping effects to make his argument in favour of an Appeal to the rigged Court of Revulsion – opps, Revision – although in retrospect revulsion is very accurately descriptive of this farce! Since before August 2004 in the co-related extremely questionable Permit Application from Jimmy’D’/Copart in Puslinch, this site, currently the TransX site, was a particular bone of contention for me, related to its apparent questionable legality, as to how the application from Jimmy’D’/Copart was approved without adherence to protocol by Puslinch Township Council of 2004. The personal configuration of this Council was changed in 2006 when Councillor Barb McKay was selected to County Council as a Ward Representative. Well, the McKay influence in Town Council was maintained, by the election of Mr. Barb McKay (Don) to Council with no marked change to Council, as no doubt about it, pillow talk rules!!!
The blind allegiance to their unchallenged leader, (deleted), continued unabated with the consistency for “Approval Nodding” for all (deleted) expounded. Democracy, Representation by Rule by the People? Not in Puslinch, “Thou shalt do as I say!” You understand “them is the rules”(sic), democracy changed back to dictatorship, since the days of Archie MacRobbie!!
When the evidence related to this pre-planned scam and con, designed and implemented by the (deleted), is heard in court, then will be exposed their (deleted) in “(deleted).” From issuance of the Gamsby & Mannerow Final Report and their transparent Criminal manipulation of issuance and anticipated lack of opportunity by Councillors to receive and read to understanding of the contents. This all before the expiry of the time, per protocol, to file an Appeal.
The Road’s Committee attempt to stop (deleted) was well intentioned but doomed to fail. But fear not, Smelly-Welly.com and the Riverbend Legal Group will include that (deleted) in their (deleted).
Let’s look at Committee Chairman Hall’s rehearsed attempt at argument against Councillor Finnie’s exposure of contaminated water issues supported by 2002 data which identified serious levels of contaminants in the Carroll Pond. He argued “This is from 2002, we don’t know what it is now!” Well Councillor, I believe you just made Councillor Finnie’s point. As Churchill said to Chamberlain, “In God’s name – just go.” You are out of your depth Carl! Save face whilst you can.
Then we have that epitome of fine, honest, ethical representation from Puslinch – Councillor McKay, who through terrible acting did exclaim “Up until now I’ve never been ashamed of being a County Councillor, and now I’m ashamed to be one.” Well be consoled Ms. McKay, many of us from Puslinch have always been ashamed that you are a County Councillor, and even when you were a Puslinch Township Councillor we felt shame at your blind allegiance to (deleted) – why do you think you were elected to County Council – your talent or impeccable track record – NO!
Just another foot soldier and a vote for the (deleted). What better guarantee for the status quo after the MacRobbie demise? To stutter and sputter your so called “indignantly” at the way Puslinch Taxpayer’s were being left holding the ball, if the County Appealed at the Tribunal, was a bad joke or worse.
Does it not make sense to agree with Warden Green when he argues that this is an industrial drain, and by association, the beneficiaries are the industrial community at that location. Mr. Green’s argument is sound – no domestic property Taxpayer should be paying – even Puslinch Taxpayers! Blind Allegiance is a terrible thing that can make people like you look stupid. Are you stupid, Councillor McKay or just doing as you are told? Please answer the question!
Back in 2004, Ms. Helen Purdy callenged the development of the Jimmy 'D' site, ref Township By-Law to permit Jimmy’D’/Copart to proceed to develop the Jimmy’D’ site. I then became a full Party to the O.M.B. Hearing in August 2004. Both Ms. Purdy and I as concerned Environmentalists were critical of the lack of Site Inspection conducted under the retained engineers Gambsy & Mannerow, under the leadership of Mr. Bob Weildon P.Eng.
The bottom line result of the O.M.B. Hearing, for Ms. Purdy and me was a dismissal of both our claims of, prematurity of By-Law Issuance, without adherence to strict M.O.E. pre-requisites! As recorded in the O.M.B. Decision my main challenge to the Copart Affair was that no development of any form should be permitted until the Carroll Pond resolution of glaring issues were addressed and resolved! This was in August 2004 as is on the record.
During this time, as I probed the history, it came to my attention, claims of Illegal Financial exchanges between Members of Puslinch Township Representatives and individuals representing either themselves of people in Town or without. As I progressed in my probe, suddenly Copart up stakes and disappears into the night with not so much as a goodbye and thanks. I’ve never had an answer to my question-why? Very, very strange, considering their strong performance at the O.M.B. which must have cost them big bucks, local Lawyer John Valeriote is not cheap!
But have not fear, the Tag Team of MacRobbie and (deleted) always had a Contingency Plan to ensure the Continuation of (deleted). Had it not worked for Corwhin Highlands, Riverbend Park, Mini Lakes Trailer Park, Barbers Beach Trailer Park, The Little Tract, Winston Churchill Blvd (Erin/Caledon), Wellington Terrace etc, etc, etc?
Then as a gift from the Fairies, came the TransX Facility on the original Jimmy’D’ site, but over time and land acquisition, a site planned (without M.O.E. approvals) registered in the Land Registration Office at 1 Stone Road (west) in Guelph.
As the registered information indicates, TransX are owned by a Holding Company, Pier Properties, and a Royal Bank of Canada Lien carried for $30 Million. Quite a coup for (deleted)!
It is shown by the evidence, that there commenced with rapid succession, a Litany of Protocol Pre-Requisites from many Governmental Agencies being totally and intentionally ignored, to facilitate a fast track Building and Demolition Programe, resulting in gross Violations of many Municipal and Environmental Acts.
The referred to Evidence supported by sworn and Sealed evidentiary Statements from the most credible witness will expose irrefutably the (deleted) this Carroll Pond Drain and many other projects. Let’s look at that “B” movie actor, (deleted)'s performance, who, in the words (prophetic) of William Shakespeare “Like a strutting player whose conceit lies in his hamstring, and doth think it rich to hear the wooden dialogue and sound twixt his stretch’d footing and the scaffold age. A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage then is heard no more.” How appropriate. When will you see through this façade of respectability, hidden under this veneer? (Deleted)
(Deleted) continues to recruit many supporters with the promise of political and personal enablers to assist many silly people who believe they can never be implicated before the Law.
The completely “mind boggling” behaviour of the firm of Gamsby & Mannerow, Engineers of Record, for both the TransX (et al) Group, and the Township of Puslinch in the design, engineering and respective approvals from the responsible Government Agencies can only be reviewed as law breaking, with intent to facilitate a pre-conceived plan to stretch the pre-requisites for planning and environmental issues to be addressed related to this TransX facility and its integration into the planned Township Carroll Pond Municipal Drain, costing at least $3.1 Million to the Taxpayers (et al) of Wellington County. Add this to the recorded lien against TransX of $30 Million, this gives the opportunity to Puslinch Township the easy opportunity to cut-in their monetary acquisition process, to enable financial rewards for distribution to identified recipients. We have very strong evidence to support the claim and charge, that this process is alive and well and administered in Wellington County, inclusive of Puslinch. I have implored, and not for the first time, Mr. Gerretsen and Mr. Watson, both Crown Ministers, with good reputations well earned, to heed and respect our claims based on Evidence. We need a forensic audit of the County of Wellington County Council total Organization and in particular the Township of Puslinch Organization (deleted) as (deleted)!!
We continue to investigate this and the other major environmental impact regarding Carroll Pond Municipal Drain and its possible impact on the drinking water for the residents of Puslinch.
