Our Latest Update Explores the History Behind the Deception

April 29th, 2010
Hi again Webber. Well, with everyone around the world interested, and there are many who now know I have officially filed the Defense Motion upon which I will rely, when McCarthy Tétrault well funded, mercenary team of parasites will be faced with a major decision; i.e. “What else can we try?” This “outfit” posing as a “credible professional” law firm, continues to suck up the pathetic taxpayers “blood money,” in the name of “we will represent our client to the best of our ability.” They do not say in continuance…”conforming to, and upholding the laws of human decency, not to mention the laws they swore to uphold when they swore before the Canadian Bar Association, (a.k.a. the laws of professional conduct as dictated and administered by the Law Society of Upper Canada, on behalf of the legal constitution of Canada). This, I believe, and believe McCarthy Tétrault (et al) have individually and collectively violated, with pre-conceived intent, planned to the last detail! As a Scot and proud to admit my love for Canada, I find myself with no other recourse but to expose this effort by McCarthy Tétrault (et al) to obstruct Justice with an evergreen plan, forced upon them through their arrogant contempt for the law! Where is the oversight here L.S.U.C.? This taxpayer would request an answer before we go to Court, as in Court the brutal fact will be exposed and it will not be pretty – I promise! Rant set aside for now Webbers, I warned you all that you cannot expect this, what has to be done, to be handled with kid gloves! It will be ugly.
It is now time to expand the Smelly-Welly.com webpage named “Deception in Puslinch.” Our Webbers continually hit the Deception file and must be frustrated by the apparent stagnation of detailed updating of this file, of great interest, for many reasons.
As an introduction to this update I would ask you to click here to read a Guelph Mercury front page report of 2009, filed by Ms. Nicole O’Reilly (recent winner of the Canadian Nationally Recognized Young Reporter Award), who was pivotal in her reporting to uncover the truth behind the disturbingly detailed reason for the current “confusion” related to what’s going on here?
Well Webbers, now you will learn the truth of the matter, how it happened, why it happened and the reason’s behind the confusing behaviour of Puslinch Township Councillor Mr. Richard Visser!
As publicly reported, Mr. Visser has some, if not many, frustrations related to this matter of the fireman firings, which he has expressed as innuendos and inferences in public, verbally and written!
Mr. Visser, I, Bill Manderson, challenge your claim of leadership and “love for Puslinch” as expounded openly. Why don’t you “say what you mean,” and most importantly, mean what you say? Go public now! It will not stand you in good light to wait any longer! Smelly-Welly.com is in Court now! After the Puslinch Pioneer “Visser Publications” of last month’s publication, it is now imperative for Mr. Visser to openly state the facts which form the perceived verbosity of his statements. He is “saying” much wording without very much substance of facts to consider! Why, if I didn’t know better, I could accuse him of adopting the process of a politician running for Mayor! What do you think Webbers? The whole Quinnell matter has been very expensive to the Puslinch taxpayers, to cover up a long standing process of “financial considerations” negotiated with “new opportunities” to bypass legal protocols with a shortcut, short cost process to facilitate new business stating in Puslinch. No Zone Changes, no Fire Inspection Certificate etc, etc. It’s been going on for years, as business as usual, and increasing in scope to include “considerations for larger companies” to cost avoid the full startup costs to set up in Puslinch! The evidence has been with the legal appropriate agencies for their investigation.
Case in point. We earlier referred you to the Guelph Mercury article on “Former Puslinch Fire Inspector in training” Mr. Roger Will, currently employed by Vaughan Fire Service. (A long way to work eh Webbers.) Mr. Will’s personal story will shock you all! Building on the Mercury story, prior to the newspaper interview, I personally, accompanied by a witness, met with Mr. Will as arranged, to offer any assistance Smelly-Welly.com could afford him. It was a most enlightening meeting.
We met in the Williams Coffee Pub on Edinburgh road in Guelph, per phone arrangements and up to that time, I didn’t even know what Roger looked like; he was a voice on the phone, with minimum information in my possession, from Puslinch Township documentation, publicly issued. Mr. Will supplied us with copies of a Small Claims Court filing he had filed against Mr. Doug Smith, the then Fire Chief of Puslinch. It was filed with the Court that Mr. Will charged Mr. Smith with a matter of personal disrepute by Mr. Smith, stated to Cambridge Fire Service, in an application Roger Will had made to Cambridge, who were looking to hire a Fire Inspector. Mr. Will thought his interview with Cambridge was encouragingly successful, and he expected an offer of employment! After waiting a respectful time for a response, Mr. Will contacted the Cambridge Fire Service to enquire to the status of his application, only to be told he had received a negative characterization of his performance  and work ethic from Puslinch Chief Doug Smith, and by association, he was not offered the Cambridge position.
Needless to say Mr. Will was incensed, insulted and angry! He confronted Smith with the facts from Cambridge and, after much discussion, Fire Chief Smith admitted that he had discredited Mr. Will when asked by the Cambridge Fire Service.  Mr. Will then showed up proof of his filing of a Small Claims Court Motion, all legally submitted1
He was reluctant to proceed after 2 (two) years from the date of the Submission of Claim, but saw an opportunity to ask for his old job back when the Quinnell firings were announced but, as is documented, was refused by the C.A.O. of Puslinch, Brenda Law!
At the risk of being accused of “trying the Libel case in the media,” I will stop at this point, but with the assurance to you all that we have the evidence and all supporting criteria to file with the Court, once McCarthy Tétrault has the guts etc to proceed to re-convene the Libel Suit before Justice Herold which, as you all know, was stayed pending the C.C.L.A. Intervention Motion Hearing in December 2009. That is, as they say, “on the record,” so the way seems clear for the prosecution to proceed. Let the games begin! Lots more to come Webbers – you betcha! God bless.

January 29th - An Update on the "Duck and Cover" Situation in Puslinch
Now Webbers, and all of your “lazy, frustrated people of Puslinch,” we can now “build on” our posted report dated October 15th, 2009. Yes, as long ago as that – more than 3 (three) full months! This is, of course, all related to the “non-firings” of the father/son tag team in Puslinch Fire Service, as Chief and Fire Inspector, respectively. Webbers (et al), I can give you, for the record, the name of the law firm retained by Puslinch Township, at great cost to the local Taxpayers, to represent the Township in their well advertised “mediated settlement,” out of Court, of the Quinnell’s $900,000 claim for Unfair Dismissal. Remember this name, folks, for your understanding of the County/Township strategy!
The firm of Filion, Wakely, Thorup and Angeletti, are, by their published claim, “Experts in labour relations and employment law on behalf of employers.” On behalf of employers in labour relations cases? Can this be because “employers” are the only people who can afford to pay their huge buck retainers! Hmmm, sounds like McCarthy Tétrault, and we all know how much they charge!
Now Webbers, as is on the website record, under this very page, Smelly-Welly.com has been constructing the Evidentiary file to expose the Council cover-up of “illegal misbehaviour deeds,” committed by “certain parties” and the whole “sham and scam” of the Fire Chief and Fire Inspector, is the creative genius product of a person, or persons, of “a vivid imagination type,” who are brought together out of necessity1 And we all know that “necessity is the mother of invention.” The truth of the matter is that the 2 (two) firepersons, the Quinnell’s, father and son team, and the Mayor Whitcombe/C.A.O. Brenda Law (at minimum) found themselves “exposed” by accusations in the form of the admitted for existence, Scarlet Letter and Scarlet Phone Call, received by the newspaper, the local Guelph Mercury, as reported by Mr. Scott Tracey, a well known local newshound of respected repute! Now we all know the claims etc of financial discrepancies, disturbing statements from various senior members of Puslinch Council, related to the financial discrepancies etc. In particular, the disturbing statements of Councillor Vissor, which are on the public record. Well now Webbers, here is where the process of “creative deception” is cut-in and implemented! I have shared my opinions, with the investigative authorities, on just what was done, by whom and for why! Why would Puslinch hire the top labour law firm of Filion, Wakely, Thorup, and Angeletti to represent them in a “mediated settlement” which they thought would close the issue forever? Not so fast! Not only that, why was the original invoice for the law firm’s services set for payment to a Ms. Andrea Lawson; you know who she is…you don’t – Well she is only the Human Relations Manager for Wellington County Council, reporting to none other than C.A.O. Scott Wilson, of Plaintiff fame in Wellington County Council’s Libel case against me! Must just be a coincidence…right? Give me a break! And not only that, they apply the standard “McCarthy Tétrault strategy” of hate mail, just like their claim against me for a Peace Bond. Distraction and defocus – “Doug Thompson inc.” written all over it! They truly are arrogant Webbers, arrogant to a failure, to consider that maybe they are too clever by far, that exceeds even their comprehension! Well, not mine! They are clearly transparent!
In the interim evolved time since our last deception report, we have established a list of now known facts to support our claim of a big, big, fraud and cover-up of exposed “very questionable” and concerning details of very suspicious behaviour by the Township Crew” (et al) and their program of timely insertions of focus removal activities, including the “alleged” hate mail being sent to identified member of Township Council and staff! We say alleged as we have concluded our appraisal of the situation, and passed on our conclusions to the Wellington County O.P.P., for their analysis and actions. You are all in for a big surprise, we promise, and as you know Webbers, we always deliver! The Township is attempting to sell this Fire the Firemen as a labour dispute, as conceived to re-direct attention from the real facts – this is a cover-up of exposure of financial activities within the Fire Department, with the full knowledge, and participation, by named parties. We have shared our analysis with the Governmental bodies who hold the responsibilities to the Taxpayers, to ensure their serious cover of all identified evidence is analyzed for authenticity, to support Smelly-Welly.com’s claim of municipal corruption!
Filion, Wakely (et al) will not be consulted going forward because this matter has nothing to do with “Unfair Dismissal,” as we have proven to ourselves, and have now shared with “others” who have the responsibility to serve the public and keep the laws for adherence – you betcha!!
More to come Webbers – Our “cup runneth over!” God bless and keep webbing!

October 15th 2009 - Response to our F.O.I. Request Denied... Sort of
Hi Webbers, on August 29th, 2009, I posted on our website (see below), a report which contained reference to a Freedom of Information Request form which is the only document which is applicable to the formal request for information, and has to be filed with a $5.00 cheque or money order made payable to the Treasurer, Township of Puslinch and indicating the F.O.I. Request details. By law (not Brenda), this formal, pre-printed document must be properly completed and is the only, only legal document for reference to enable a Puslinch file # to be assigned as a reference for all subsequent correspondence! This is, and has been, since the inception of the MFIPPA as an entity under Dr. Cavoukian, the standard operating procedure, well known to Mrs. Brenda Law. As we have stated, Smelly-Welly.com conformed to that standard process inclusive of the $5.00 TD Bank money order, all enclosed as a package and sent to the Township via registered mail, inclusive of a receipt signature.
This critical document, the F.O.I. Request form, and the $5.00 Registration fee submitted, have intentionally been ignored by Puslinch Township Council in an effort to delay, confuse, question intent and to de-focus our attention from our clearly stated Freedom of Information Request – Why?
The very format of the response from the Township, although signed by Mrs. Law, was structured and written by a person of legal background disciplines, (in our opinion), oh, maybe even a lawyer who may have vested interest to “quell the Quinell” investigation! What do you think Webbers? (Click here to view the reply from the Township). The prevelant use of the pronouns “we” and “us” with no reference to the registration fee paid, or the legitimate request form, we, (Smelly-Welly.com) understood the process with which Puslinch thinks they will achieve their withholding of the requested information. Click here to see our official reply to the denial of our civil rights as well as the proof of our original request and the TD Bank money order put in place to facilitate the process. Maybe the C.C.L.A. would intervene on this Violation of the Taxpayers Civil Rights; this being our right to know all of the sordid details of this “Firestorm in Puslinch.” We have prepared our documentation for Court on this issue! In the meanwhile we shall continue to prepare for our Section 122 Criminal Charge against the Township running parallel with all of the other counts! Webbers, this will be huge, as it is currently obvious! This report is to put on the Public Record the type of behaviour, which is a constant with guilty actions being admitted, by the guilty parties, to distract attention from the irrefutable facts that crimes have been committed. We can, and will, prove this in Court. This is our purpose – this is our promise!
God bless and keep webbing.

Bill Manderson
P.S. By separate response letter we shall address with Puslinch, their written request for clarification, although the have rejected the F.O.I. Request! Go figure.


September 16th, 2009
Hi Webbers! Wow! Forest fires in B.C. and “huge fires” in Puslinch! Will our new team be able to beat the new outbreak? Wow, even the editor of the “local organ Puslinch Pioneer, Holly Franklin, has burst out in “flames,” to attempt to explain her apathy and challenged negative handling of the whole Quinnell firings, and the very suspiciously non acceptable financial settlements, all secret, but payable by the long standing totally apathetic financially supporting Puslinch tax base!!
Smelly-Welly.com welcomes all of you, newly awakened from your self-induced slumber, into the true light of all revealing daylight! Better sooner than later, but drives the question (i.e. What took you so long?) You’ve been shafted for years! We will prove it, yes even to you, without resentment for your past “lack of interest.”
Ms. Franklin’s “all revealing” editorial, must be viewed as a shocking revelation to all of the former “sleepy heads of Puslinch!” Now please, as we go forward, we have local acceptance that “something is not right here,” we can change this!
Smelly-Welly.com, as everyone knows, has chosen the Criminal Legal Route, because crimes have been committed in various forms over many years. We are currently in Court following our process.
Now if the newly awakened population would prefer to wait until November 2010 to “vote them out,” that’s fine by me, I support the democratic process of election defeat, but that does not cut it at all, in my opinion. By electorate vote of no confidence, you only remove the source of the charges without punishment! I plan to remove from your options, removal by vote, by securing a conviction of a Criminal offence, in Criminal Court, for Violation of the Criminal Act, Section 122, of the Criminal Code. This intent is already on the record in Court. To Ms. Franklin, in fairness to you I say – produce a copy of the Court issued gag order you referred to in your editorial. To spray yourself, and your newspaper with a Teflon coating, will not work, well, at least, with Smelly-Welly.com whose points of long standing you chose to poach, to attempt to bring respectability to your editorial was flattering but transparent for purpose – I’m 74 years of age, Holly, I don’t fall for this, its been tried before!
Webbers, just one last point on the total costs incurred, all due to a Scarlet Letter, we wish to report our proposed bottom line cost for review. This week, Mr. Chris Dapointe, of the “Advertiser” reported a total sum of $248,000. In this report there is no reference to the inclusion of the Quinnells’ costs which we would expect, in the absence of a published dollar figure, would have to be considered in a “mediated settlement” which we are expected to accept – I don’t think so folks. If the Township’s legal costs from their lawyers was $82,377 as reported, for estimate purposes only, if we duplicated the Township costs, related to lawyers services, again only an estimate, $248,000 plus $82,377, could be viewed (if you are stupid!) as a great reduction form the original $900,000 Court filed claim, by the Quinnells, but not its only $330,377 note again easily divided by (3). Hmm? Not only that, everyone is “free of any guilt” and per the Quinnells “We feel vindicated!” So would I if I were you, but wait, did you lose your job in the process? Do all you numbskulls think we are as you who assume we believe you! Whitcombe “no admission of liability” – Whitcombe…you’re nuts! Or worse, are you smoking that “wacky tobaccy” or stronger? “No admission of liability” for the Taxpayer borne costs of $330,377, and none of you go to jail? Come on there, Whitcombe!! And you have the gall to accuse me of a crime?
Webbers, as posted on the web, we have sent via registered mail, the F.O.I. request recorded of Smelly-Welly.com webpage entitled deception in Puslinch file dated August 29th 2009. For the attention of our “temporary” C.A.O. Ms. Brenda Law. Check below item dated August 29th for understanding. We expect, per our letter indications, that Ms. Law will again, not for the first time, after the expiry of the pre-requisite response time of (4) weeks, will implement her right to apply a further (4) weeks. As you will read from our posting, we have factored in this expected “dragging of the feet” which has become the trademark response from the Township, right? Well, not quite, if you refer to page nine of the of the September 4th report in the “Advertiser” you will see what I mean about Ms. Law dragging her feet reference Mr. Dennis Lever’s information request  of February 2009 referencing Whitcombe’s expenses, being available to Mr. Lever for the periods from October 2006 up to and including February 2009. Madorin/Snyder of Kitchener were retained by Brenda Law, who needs Council’s approval to do so. And his run up a cost of $552 for legal advice, which resulted in Madorin, 6 months later, advising that the Township cannot withhold this information. We could have received that information in (5) minutes from the Township’s retained lawyer, who is charging the Township $1,500 a day to sleep through the Aikensville Pit O.M.B. Hearing. He would not have charged, he already knows the law. We wish to thank Mr. Lever for his interest and his great patience, when legally he could have had his answer in 30 days, and via Hayes Murphy, at no cost other than the cost of copying!
Not only that, we thank Mr. Lever for his civically inspired curiosity which has now made this information readily available to the public, at a cost only for copy. Ms. Brenda Law will not have to charge search time at $30 per hour for any public requests for information, maybe even cost free, without the standard F.O.I. request fee of $5. Mr. Lever, we thank you and we will review the data to determine the basis of your interest, and why Whitcombe would request the C.A.O. to involve a law firm. Murphy is available at no cost, as retained as solicitor of record, so why Madorin.
Mr. Chris Duponte’s detailed report is a credit to the young man for focused point (opps, that will probably get him into trouble from his editor, you know, an endorsement from Smelly-Welly.com). Well, Webbers, and suffering Puslinchers, “This is your Council,” what are you prepared to do, it only gets worse! Keep webbing and God bless.
August 29th, 2009
Hi Webbers, we are back from our time off and all charged up and ready to roll! Going forward we shall structure all documentation, with few exceptions, formatted to be dual purposed in form, to be normal website postings, but with the added configuration to be an integral part of our detailed Evidentiary Package, in support of our very busy, multi-faceted plan, designed to facilitate and support our anticipated interactions with the Courts, Police and all other authorities involved in the process to be utilized.
We kick-off this format utilization with a Freedom of Information Request, filed with the Township of Puslinch, with reference to the disturbing course of events related to the firings of the Fire Chief Dan Quinnell and his son, Richard, the Fire Inspector.
This request is filed with the C.A.O. of Puslinch and is formally submitted per F.O.I. Protocol: we submit this Request:
Dear Ms. Brenda Law (C.A.O.),
REF: F.O.I. request attached and copy posted on our website, Smelly-Welly.com, related to your Township (et al) Records of Documentation on file, with Puslinch Township Council.
It is anticipated you will consume the normal 30 days permitted to respond per your standard operating procedure, from our past experience on the record. Further per your past performance history, you will request another additional 30 days to prepare your response in Index of Record form! We have accommodated the (60) day term in our time plan to proceed with a Section 122 claim, (C.C.C.) i.e. Breach of Trust of an Official. We may as well lay it out now in the open, so that our Webbers will not be too frustrated by your apparent lack of professional courtesy. Smelly-Welly.com understands Mrs. Law!
The loose ends of this “ridiculous, very concerning matter,” must be, and will be, drawn out for Public exposure to the truths which lie behind what must be seen as a pathetic attempt to suppress the details of this matter, and their entitled sharing with the Taxpayers of Puslinch, and all related agencies which will be involved, further to my submission of “Private Information” to the Courts, to commence the process. You see, Mrs. Law, I am serious in this matter, and request you discipline yourself accordingly.
For the record our specific requests at this time are thus – Per the attached F.O.I. Request (funded). You will note our information list of recipients! We request the following:
A full listing on an Index of Records (you know the format), which identifies every piece of documentation, and by which reference, to the issue of the firing of Mr. Dan Quinnell and Mr. Richard Quinnell, formerly of the Puslinch Fire Department. All financial records of expenditure, invoices, cheques, you know what I mean, we have done this more than once! Correct?
Mrs. Law, in light of our impending Court submissions in support of our Section 122 (C.C.C.) violations on the part of Puslinch Township Council (et al), accurate documented costs incurred, are obviously of great interest to Smelly-Welly.com plus the ever growing local voices of dissent in Puslinch.
Please don’t claim “Privilege Immunity,” and deny the Public the entitled documentation requested. We both know too well of the consequences to you personally, which equate to a compounding of your personal violations of Section 122 of the Criminal Code, Breach of Trust of an Official!
The legal costs incurred by both sides, in the so called “mediated resolution,” with no public exposure to details, will be expected to be released without consultation with Ms. Brayshaw, you know, like Mr. Lever’s February 2009 F.O.I. Request, just paid this month! February to August? What happened to the 30-day rule? Not applicable? Please consider my tone as being hostile! We await your response, we being all of the identified recipients of this “posted document!”
Distribution: All taxpayers, via Smelly-Welly.com website, the Honourable Mr. Jim Watson, Minister (M.A.H.), Mr. David Doney (Lawyer), Mr. Scott Smith (Inspector O.P.P.), Filion, Wakely, Thorup Angeletti (Lawyers) and Richard and Dan Quinnell.
Regards,
Bill Manderson

July 26th 2009

Webbers, have you ever witnessed a more crazy course of events as this one? Only in Puslinch you say? Thank God says Smelly-Welly.com!
This has to be the only Township, I would claim, yes, even in this crazy world of today, that any group would claim sensibility, and more importantly, credibility, in presenting to the Taxpayers for their acceptance, and to move on, the ultimate product of all of the costly processes involved in this issue, all driven by “a Scarlet Letter and phone call!” Ah yes, only in Puslinch, where nothing is clean and clear (it would seem)!
Here we are today, Joe Public, and being dumped with “Well, and you must all believe this, we’ve fired the (2) senior firemen, been sued for $900,000, challenged this through a statement of defense, retained lawyers on both sides, at big bucks to the Puslinch Taxpayers and Quinnells, but, by going through all of this on your behalf, we have “negotiated” a resolution to the “situation” at a greatly reduced cost of only $160,000 to the Quinnells, which is much better that $900,000!”
Just wait for a minute there, Mr. Mayor Whitcombe (et al)! Do you expect this “thing” now to just go away? “You must be kidding” to borrow the expression from your fellow Plaintiff Scott Wilson, (a regular user of many expressions, soon to be heard in public).
I think now is the time to lay out all of the cards to really understand just what the heck is, and has been, going on in Puslinch. I know this must support Councillor Visser’s original call for “transparency” and public sharing of every detailed element of this now, promoted for closure, enigma!
I say enigma, as I believe the Taxpayers are confused and angry at the critical lack of detailed understanding of “How can this possibly be mitigated, in secret, to this conclusion?” I think we have the answers folks! Why not try this on for size, and note, “Voice of Puslinch”, all without a perceived hint of public violence! Go figure! And be very careful of your wording, you “brave, brave individuals of the shadows!”
Our view on this whole issue has been one of analytical requirement to address all of the logic defying elements and co-related conditions which have influenced and controlled the logistics of this troubling demonstration of behavioural patterns, as witnessed with the principal players and related contributions to make up this final scenario, which we, the public, are asked to accept and move on, without comment or challenge. We cannot and will not do this. By association we submit our explanatory opinion and ask that it be discussed and reviewed with the O.P.P. Palmerston detachment. We submit as follows:

  1. The Scarlet letter writer uncovered a huge issue within the Puslinch Fire Department.
  2. She or he issued the letter/phone call process to expose the “concerns” which had been discovered.
  3. This is the first time this was in the Public Forum, and it spread like wildfire, throughout and beyond the Township of Puslinch!
  4. Initially there was no action from the Township, who we believe was taken aback from the letter issuance and the Guelph Mercury follow-up to their receipt, on record, of the “phone call” from the unidentified “female voice” (quote/unquote).
  5. The story was out and the Township found itself unprepared.
  6. Just pause and ask yourself the question “Just what was written and said by the “Scarlet lady?” It must have been very accurately incriminating for the Township, resulting in its knee jerk reaction to the, as yet unknown, contents of the letter etc. You just don’t go out and fire, on the spot, the (2) most senior members of the Fire Department, based on unproven statements, written on an unsigned letter! That is, of course, assuming you are totally oblivious to the accuracy of the accusations! Mmmm? Strange response!! “Not only that, we are keeping it secret!”
  7. And now Webbers, after all the hue and cry, all at Taxpayers cost, to date estimated at $300,000, give or take a thousand here or there, this stupid Council expects the Public to accept a negotiated statement? Are they totally nuts? Or just assuming that this issue will die off in time, as have many others – Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! You will not be permitted to continue!
  8. Now Webbers, we’ll ask you to all get real on this! Yes, it is no secret I have an agenda, related to my claims and accusations that Puslinch Township is corrupt to the core, and I am in process to prove this in Court – in an open transparent forum!
  9. Building on my interpretational experience and understanding of the structure of Puslinch corruption, here is my entitled opinion: The letter etc exposed irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing, which was the norm, as known between all parties. How can they handle this? Appear to fire the (2) identified Fire personnel. Create a scenario which can be controlled within the corrupt circle (i.e.) dismissal for “financial inequities”, then receive a counter suit in Civil Court for Unfair Dismissal an  Damages totaling $900,000. Go through the motions of a legitimate action and each promoted non-related side retain legal representation. Township costs to be borne by the Taxpayers and the Quinnell’s costs, also met by the Taxpayers, but absorbed within the Township’s costs, which have not been explained. Nor intended to be detailed, per the so-called mediated agreement. Remember the press release information stated by Mr. Whitcombe and I quote “There was no admission of liability on the part of any of the parties.” What is this junk? No liabilities? What about the Mayor’s liability for this cost incurrence to the Taxpayer? No liability? How about the published cost indicated? $204,000 inclusive of the alleged settlement of $160,000, which leaves, by my calculation a net to date cost of $38,000 for Township legal costs, with a bill for June yet to be received! And how about the Quinnells legal costs? Surely they would have to be added? You would think so, logically! Who would sue for $900,000, settle for $166,000, lose their jobs, ridiculously claim vindication, and still have to pay their lawyers. This cost estimated with the same parameters as the Township? (i.e. $38,000 and counting).

Would you say the Quinnells , in all honesty, claim vindication?  I can understand Councillor Visser’s comments of the Quinnells media statement as being troubling to him, but not half as bad as his response in warning to the Quinnells, and I quote: “I hope they get the message to let this thing lie” and adding, “Both sides are supposed to remain quiet on the topic.” Note: No other Council Member addressed the matter, we wonder why? It is because each and every one of them is in on the scheme to save this corrupt Council from public exposure!
The process for resolution is not spelt M E D I A T I O N, it is B L A C K M A I L! If one goes down, we all go down! Don’t you get it yet? I must admit it is pretty clever psychological approach to protecting the group, although to totally sell it may be difficult. Let me explain! How can the Quinnells claim vindication? They sue for $900,000, and mediate $160,000, but they do negotiate a no-tell, no-smell strategy! They are not exonerated – they are still fired! Remember Whitcombe’s words “There was no admission of liability.” Are you for real, Whitcombe? You continue to push the envelope of miscomprehension in your panic to cover up! “I hope they get the message to let things lie” says Visser. Are you people nuts, to believe your plan is not transparent? Good God!
We have started the Formal Process of Investigation in these matters. It will soon conclude Webbers, I can promise you this! I have not stated all the details! Watch this space and keep your cool, and blood pressure down!
Puslinch Township Council is exposed for the corrupt organization that it is!!! Go figure. It is time. God bless.



July 24th, 2009

Hey Webbers, can you believe all this in Puslinch? They just keep adding fuel to the fire! Even I am surprised with recent attempts to cover-up pre-committed crimes by the singular, and collective, “abusers of power!” Unbelievable, and not even, at this juncture, connected directly with the Riverbend Park saga, at present being serialized for your summer reading pleasure – click here for the latest on that. To be noted, we have just received our thirteenth thousandth hit – and all related to Wellington County issues!
            This short address to the “fired firemen of Puslinch” will be one of many over the summer to be posted (just to take your minds off the lousy weather! Almost like Scotland!) Cheer up; we will attempt to bring sunshine to your lives by your enlightenment to the truthful explanation to all of your frustrating questions! Let’s start with the Quinnell’s out of Court settlement (I won a $20 bet – thanks).
            Can any of you believe this event? We predicted it, and now that it is public, we can talk to it, but remember Webbers, consult our website for the whole story!
            Previously I posted Smelly-Welly.com’s caution on this issue and asked you all not to discount the value of the infamous Scarlet Letter, and “phone call” to the Guelph Mercury, as published in the public forum, on record. Here now is Smelly-Welly.com’s take on the situation! This will blow your minds! Here is my interpretation:
            It would appear, from all of the Township inputs, (if you believe them), that they were justified in the firings – not so says Smelly-Welly.com! Why? Well, if this was so, why the sudden personal behavioural outbursts from Councillors Visser, and the now, not so outspoken, Fielding? Susan, did Brad remind you of your “transparent” agenda behind your Highway 6 “crusade?” Good chance to get out from under your recently inherited farm, with no agricultural value! We are not stupid or blind Ms. Fielding, want to discus this? Your move! Anytime Councillor Fielding, anytime!
            Now we come to Dick (Visser) with the “dilemma,” who now sits, after his huffing and puffing about “the Public’s right to know,” in a rather self-created situation with no clean severance? We still, as is on record, support your statement “The public is entitled to know the facts.”
            In this week’s Wellington Advertiser, July 24th 2009 edition, on page 38, down amongst “The Real Estate Section” (must be short of space) Mr. Chris Daponte’s brief report (after editing no doubt) relates to what can only be an attempt by Mr. Dick Visser to distance himself from the public interpretation of his statements (verbal) and his constant accusatory claims of wrongdoing, across the board!
            If I may, in this interim posting, draw Mr. Visser’s attention to the “bed he made for himself” through his accusatory outbursts, made in public, he now, like every other big boy, must explain himself, so that he would be responsibly contributory to “open and transparent” information sharing, promoted by him that “the Taxpayers have a right to know.” We agree Mr. Visser, now it’s time to “belly up” and be a man of your word. All of Puslinch is awaiting your expoundage, long overdue! Well Webbers, we can only be fair and afford the Councillor our well-mannered, undistracted attention. Your move Councillor Visser!
            Next time Webbers I’ll share my reading of the strange situation, which is costing us big bucks, and for what? I think you will become angry! God bless.

For your convenience, here is the article we referred to earlier.
VISSER UNHAPPY WITH QUINNELL’S COMMENTS by Chris Daponte
ABERFOYLE – Puslinch councilor Dick Visser says he wasn’t pleased with comments made by former fire chief Dan Quinnell following a settlement announcement on July 2.
Quinnell and his son Richard, the township’s former fire prevention officer, settled their wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the township, for a combined total of almost $166,000.
A township statement read by Mayor Brad Whitcombe on July 2 indicated, “There was no admission of liability on the part of any of the parties.”
But Visser felt a statement issued by Dan Quinnell to the local media saying the Quinnells “feel vindicated” clearly alludes to some sort of liability.
“I hope they get the message … to let this thing lie,” Visser said at the July 15 council meeting.
He added both sides are (to) supposed remain quiet on the topic.
No other councilors addressed the matter.
The Quinnells were fired in December amidst allegations of “financial discrepancies” and what Visser called “intimidation” of firefighters.
They filed a wrongful dismissal suit about a month later, seeking almost $900,000 in damages from the township.
Last week council also approved paying a $11,641 legal bill for work completed in May on the township’s behalf by the Toronto law firm of Filion Wakely, Thorup Angeletti.
That brings the municipality’s total legal bill, including the settlement, to almost $204,000 – with a bill for the month of June still expected.

July 4th 2009
Hi Webbers,
Happy 4th to our “American buddies” and, by the way, thanks for screwing up our economy with your greed and sectarianism, shrouded in the term “Free Trade.” We Canadians say, “Thanks again!”
Well Webbers, as predicted, surprise, surprise, we have an “out of Court settlement” in alleged “unfair dismissal” of the father and son tag team of Dan and Richard Quennell, Fire Chief and Fire Inspector, respectively, of Puslinch Township. Thank you for the $20 bet that I won!
Now it is noted that Mayor Whitcombe is reported as saying “He is happy to have the lawsuit settled.”  Really? Hang on just a minute there Mr. Mayor, it would not be dismissed as over yet! I suppose you will submit that $166,000 is better for the Taxpayers to pay than the claimed $900,000 by the Quennells! Do you think so? Smelly-Welly.com cannot agree!
We have been conducting, as promised on our website, our own investigation into this affair, and with much concerning questions identified, which need to be addressed and considered for analyses by the O.P.P.! You remember the O.P.P., they are the Police Authority you called upon to investigate the situation confronting you, after you decided to allegedly “fire the Fireman.” Calling in the O.P.P. was not an “afterthought” realizing, from Councillor Visser’s report that a citizen group had already filed with the O.P.P.. Our new Inspector Scott Smith and his merry men of the O.P.P. have not yet been quoted for response to this latest development, timed perfectly in the middle of Inspector Smith’s (2) week, well-earned, vacation! It will be interesting to hear the Inspector’s take on this development, considering the O.P.P. man hours spent on this matter, at considerable cost to the Taxpayers. We look forward to hearing from Inspector Smith.
In the meanwhile, let us reflect on the very disturbing exposures sought out by Smelly-Welly.com as promised, and on the Public record on our website, for all the world to see!
A very interesting statistic has emerged from our website hits since Mr. Scott Tracey’s excellent report of Saturday, 4th of July, 2009 – “A date that will live in infamy” to quote F.D.R. (funny how history repeats, isn’t it?)
As in on the Public record via our website, on the pages named “DECEPTION IN PUSLINCH” posted March 18th 2009 (go look) and again on the pages named “WHAT’S GOING ON” under the heading of “The rise and fall of (deleted)” a.k.a. the Mayor, you will find my “predictional offerings,” in for another $20 bet (double or quits)! What do you think?
I think, in fairness to Inspector Smith, the O.P.P. Investigation Team and all concerned residents of Puslinch, inclusive of the vigilante “Voice of Puslinch” as reported, we should all take a deep breath and prepare for the guaranteed avalanche to follow! We have the goods, Webbers, and this was the easiest $20 I’ve made in my life! We promised you an exciting summer and are about to deliver. We will further report on this issue after Monday 13th July 2009, unlucky for some! Hold on til then and keep talking to each other. Remember, talk is a great communicator!
God Bless

April 28th 2009
Hi Webbers!
Oh my, oh my, OH MY…What the heck is going on in Puslinch these days? Aitkensville Pit application – Firing of the Fire chief and Fire Inspector, before the Courts for $900,000 Lawsuit – Carroll Pond Municipal Drain/Gamsby & Mannerow/C.B.M. Investigation – Winston Churchill blvd questionable $4 Million cost allocations with Peel Region – Green Legacy Nursery/Little Tract House Costs/Divisional Court decision in favour of the Sage Family against the County of Wellington – Corwhin Highlands – Mona Campbell versus Puslinch reference Hunter Kennels – Naylor Farm Contamination cover up – and the classic Riverbend Park shutdown; to facilitate Archie MacRobbie and Donald Clark and Brad Whitcombe and Orin Reid and Charles Cummings and Hayes Murphy and Brenda Law and Dave Prentice (et al), (et al), (et al)!! The list goes on and on, but not for much longer Webbers, as the house of cards, built on very questionable, promoted as “legit” foundations, is, at long last, exposed and in the process of collapsing from the “rotten inside out,” like the great Roman Empire! In Rome’s case, the barbarians were very patient, in this case, the Riverbend Legal Group, 9 years ago, committed to “stay the course” to expose all of this disgusting behaviour by those who would “hide behind the façade of respectability” to achieve their greed on a huge scale! When something grows to infinity, just like the Roman Empire, cracks begin to appear, which herald the approaching collapse of an entity, and system, thought to be indestructible! The lessons of history reaffirm the stupidity of this NAIVETY; go ask “Ozamandias, King of Kings!”
Webbers, now we have reached the pinnacle of our quest to work tenaciously, and with focused, unwavering dedication to our 9 year commitment to never yield to those who would plan to deceive us, in order to relieve us of our entitled quality of life, and our accrued wealth as seniors, our most vulnerable branch of our so-called society! Shameful!!
Webbers, through this time I shall be very “prolific” in my reporting on Smelly-Welly.com, of all of the many active radar screens which will picture clearly, for all to see, just how sad a situation we are into here! We shall expose it all in its entirety and we trust it may even motivate the most apathetic of you, (and there are many), to recognize your participation in permitting the exposed situation, to not only increase in scope, but to encompass progressively more and more and more!! This upcoming month will be our Book of Revelations, Chapter 22, Verse 18 and I quote “For I testify unto every man, that heareth the words of the Prophecy of this Book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him, the plagues that are written in this Book.” (King James VI of Scotland!)
I confess to be an unabashed “man of faith,” not too fashionable these days, but I reserve this Right as an Individual, and recognize your Rights as Individuals to believe in whatever you wish, this is another fundamental Right we have, in addition to the Rights of us all who choose to fight injustice and bring it down!
I have had (2) Court appearances on Monday 6th April in Criminal Court Guelph where I responded to the pathetic attempts by the Superior Court Plaintiffs, you all know who they are, to try and convince a Justice of the Peace that I am capable of inflicting bodily harm on them, their wives (of which there are many) and their children. Really!!
They depict me as having “psychological powers” over them, which cause them to fear for their personal physical safety, and that of their families or associates! Have you ever heard of so much bunk! Well, again “necessity is the mother of invention,” and desperation is the product of the realization of having been exposed, as naked as the day they were born!! And this from (2) Civic leaders? Things are worse than we thought – Go figure!!
After we take care of this “irresponsible silliness” we shall return to our promise and start by exposing the truths about the silly behaviour connected to “the Aitkensville Pit demonstration” of “professional conduct” of our sure and steadfastly decisive Wellington County Council – including the Mayor of Puslinch! You will be enlightened! Guaranteed!
Keep talking – Remember dialog is communicating! God bless!

March 18th 2009 update.
Hi again Webbers;
Sorry for our apparent postings decline in numbers, seriously we have been really inundated with stories to publish, Court cases to prepare, off site meetings to attend, in order to meet our promise to keep you all posted, we have been literally swamped and sick with the flu! Not a bad spot to be, but too much for one old Scot to handle. But fear not, I’ll continue to play catch-up and get back on course in our plan to “bring you the truth.”
We will start with Puslinch Township, if we may! “What the heck is happening down there?” you may well ask. We will now expand and bring you up to date with a few disturbing facts to consider! Remember I am restricted by Court Order, in the form of a short term injunction against me, to be specific in my accusations and supportive terminology used, when relating to the Mayor of Puslinch, (a.k.a. “one of the plaintiffs”), in the ongoing Defamation case before the Honourable Justice Cas Herold, in Superior Court in Guelph. I shall, through my respect for the Law, and the “fair wisdom” of Judge Herold, conform to the Honourable Judge’s order! But we move on!
We can only retort “Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!” What on earth is happening in, up until now, “Brigadoon Puslinch,” that restful, less than apathetic community, asleep, on the southern border of Wellington County? All of the sudden – tantamount to revolution, rebellion or even civic responsibility? Can this be true? You’re positive? Not surely the Puslinch of  “Archie MacRobbie and his successors,” currently running the show? As much as it may surprise you all – Yes, swear to God! It is true!!
The Puslinch Mayor, due to overwhelming pressure from the residents of the Township, was forced to issue a statement, dated March 4th, 2009 which Smelly-Welly.com will be put the statement up on the website shortly. When you read it you will note it has not been signed, but refers to the pronoun “I” many times and states that “Council stands united in its decision, and in its resolve to fully defend the Lawsuit that has been commenced against them.” Well, that is not what we have been told by witnesses, who attended the Council Meeting of Wednesday 4th March 2009!
It would appear that when the Mayor Whitcombe called the Council Meeting to order, he announced to all in attendance, inclusive of Councillors, he would read a statement relating to the firings of the (2) senior Fire Fighting Officials, the father and son team Quinnell, which has been a subject of much public anger and concern. We will posting a copy of the letter, read by Mayor Whitcombe, shortly!
The process, and the letter contents, have continued the openly viewed hostilities between Councillors Visser and Fielding and the balance of the Council including the Mayor and C.A.O. Mrs. Brenda Law. Smelly-Welly.com is on record in reporting our observations and concerns related to the issue. Prior to this March event, which has only fanned the flames of controversy between Councillors, this time with even more disturbing verbal outbursts of open hostility from Councillors Visser, and belatedly Fielding, (Ms. Fielding was somewhat not so forthcoming with her support, this time, of Mr. Vissers comments or reactions to the letter contents or to the manner by which it was presented to the Public, by the Mayor, despite the letter’s claim of full Council’s “united stand” in this matter!)
Without going into “petty details” of the “behavioural reactions” in the Council Chamber, Smelly-Welly.com wishes to draw attention to the following facts, already on the record, and to point out our concerns about how the Mayor, and C.A.O., are handling this affair, which is causing too much resident negative reaction, not to mention distrust of Township Council!
Smelly-Welly.com is in possession of documents filed in Court, on behalf of both parties in the Lawsuit, by the Quinnell’s, in Superior Court. We have thoroughly considered all of the filed documentation, and are somewhat appalled by the behaviour of Township Council in the disturbing aftermath fallout of contamination in the air around the “outbursts” of Councillor Visser and Fielding. Mr. Visser, in particular, has been more vocal in his criticisms of the Mayor’s behaviour, and should make an interesting witness for any side to call, Township or Quinnells! We await the revelation to the truth behind this issue, which we agree with Mr. Visser, should be open and transparent! Brad Whitcombe, Brenda Law, Mayes Murphy (lawyer), and other, have a lot to explain to the Public!
 For Whitcombe to now call for an O.P.P. Investigation into the justification of the firings has no credibility! One would assumed that an investigation was the original source of the “in camera meeting” of Council which resulted in the decision to fire. We could only refer this decision as being a folly of intoxicated minds! Are you guys drunk, or what?
I’ll say this; Whitcombe’s behaviour of late is causing great concern in County Council, Township and other areas. Is there a behavioural trend being exposed here? It would certainly appear that way – what do you think?
Now Smelly-Welly.com, it could be said, is aware, and has been for some time, that maybe “all is not as it seems” with Mr. Whitcombe lately! Cat got your tongue, Mr. Whitcombe? The upcoming Court case, certainly, has Smelly-Welly.com’s juices going! How about yours? Enlightening times ahead Webbers, with Little Tract/Green Legacy/Carroll Pond Drain – Gamsby & Mannerow – CBM/Corwhin Highlands/Aitkensville Pit OMB/et al/et al! Shaping up to be a good, and interesting, summer indeed!! Keep watching.

Hi Webbers;
First off, although we are a bit late, we want to wish Happy St. David’s Day for all the good Welsh people logging on – “Cym’br” and all that!
We should draw attention to what is happening around the County and the City of Guelph by a genuine “Lady Leader,” pity this is not so widespread! I think it only fair to compare the Mayor of Guelph with the Warden of the County. The Mayor leads by example and encouraging teamwork, the Warden takes direction from the “Old Boys Club,” certainly fits the Chair of Office physically but is totally transparent to all who would look for leadership, only to be denied. You speak about true colours?
The County continues to be inundated with controversial issues, so much that it makes “Kate Quarrie”s dysfunctional Guelph Council” look not so bad. But before we digress, lets look to the north to Orangeville, our good neighbours who provide such a good Medical service, supported by the required ambulance, and most importantly, hospital service to the east Wellington region. We in Wellington County, Erin, and Hillsburgh etc. should thank them for their generosity and sense of “neighbourly love.” Where are the County and City ambulance service to Erin and Hillsburgh who can’t get a Medical Centre because they have a library, and most wait until May to get an ambulance, this in a community paying the highest taxes, for now!!
They deserve more from the County and the Provincial Government, not to mention a share of “Santa Harper’s” Government handouts for infrastructure! Guess we’ll continue to have people expiring on the kitchen floor, whilst others will arrive on the kitchen floor, both without an ambulance or a Medical Facility to assist. Is this right? Why is this not corrected immediately? They should not have to wait until May, as indicated the County should take the money from their Annual slush fund planned $5 Million plus and cover people’s health needs, screw the additional $1 Million for Whitcombe’s totally unethical cosmetic afterthought, to the façade of the new Archives building in Aboyne, another perk for Ventin as a percentage of the total cost of the Archives, without debate!
Whitcombe’s timely reading of the “elusive” report from his “out of the way” Library Board Committee is a continued insult to the intelligence of those who bother to care. What an expensive joke, to see him, without conscience, stand there before God and man and do what he did – again! Well, we’re in Court now buddy! But wait! Can this be an attempt again to defocus from his Puslinch Township Mayor’s dilemma? Maybe so, says Smelly-Welly.com. You may ask “What Puslinch Mayor’s dilemma?” Let me again bring you onboard for this Legal matter, currently we believe by reports, being addressed by the O.P.P., at the request of the Taxpayers of Puslinch? What is this? The sleeping democratic giant has awoken? And in Puslinch? This has to be serious!! Let us dwell on it for a moment or twenty!
The firings of the Puslinch Fire Chief and Fire Inspector, father and son Quinnells, who have filed with the Court a charge of “Unfair Dismissal” against the Township of Puslinch (et al) and claiming a $900,000 joint damages suit! No indication of a Defense from the Township has been filed – strange? One would have thought when Mayor Whitcombe and Councillor Visser, together, instructed the Fire Department Management father and son, that they had been fired and were instructed to leave the premises.
Now, ordinarily this issue would be newsworthy enough on its own merit, but it appears that the motivator for the action was a "Scarlet Letter" circulated within the Township and we believe a copy was sent to the Wellington Advertiser, but only a “Scarlet Phone Call” was received by the Guelph Mercury, allegedly from “a female voice,” reiterating the written details of the letter. The details of both the phone call and the letter have been kept confidential pending further investigation, which is proper, under the process to enable any involvement by the O.P.P. However the very strange, suspicious behaviour of both Mayor Whitcombe and C.A.O. Brenda Law has infuriated at least two members of Council, Visser and Fielding, who have been very angrily vocal in their criticism of the Mayor and C.A.O., who just seem to want this issue to “just go away!”
Smelly-Welly.com applaud the actions of Mr. Visser, prominently expressed, and to a lesser degree, Ms. Fielding, who have called for open and transparent sharing of the details related to this issue. Mrs. Law states that “We can’t talk about this issue as it is in the hands of our insurance.” “Our insurance,” Mrs. Law, and not the O.P.P.? Mrs. Law, are we to conclude the negotiations with “our insurance” equates to a perceived payoff to the Quinnells of their claim of $900,000 to make this “thing” just go away? Not so fast Whitcombe and Law! It would appear you have awakened the very sleepy, up until now, citizens and Taxpayers of Puslinch. Referencing an excerpt from The Puslinch Pioneer March letter to the Editor and the Editorial page –

“The issue of the firing of the Quinells has been largely dealt with “in camera” so there is little to report. After a long private session during a regular evening meeting, a visibly upset Councillor Dick Visser did make a plea for transparency so that residents would be more fully aware of the facts of the situation. He described the process used by Council to deal with it a failure. Susan Fielding agreed with him. Conversely, Don McKay thought it worked well. Mayor Brad Whitcombe refused any comment since the resulting defamation case is in the hands of Council’s insurance company. Visser also pointed out that had the study of the Fire Department been carried out 2 years ago when he first asked for it, as much as $250,000 could have been saved. This study has recently been approved by Council. At the February afternoon meeting Visser again expressed his view that residents deserved more information. He publicized the fact that a group of citizens has approached the O.P.P….”

You know, as an old engineer with a love for mathematics, it has just hit me that $900,000 is more cleanly divisible by the number (3) than, say, a cool million! And maybe our good friends and the O.P.P. should consider this and the fact that the “Scarlet Letter” was the motivator for the consideration by Council to address this issue, and agree to fire the Fire Staff! But Whitcombe did say “I wish Dan and Richard good luck for the future.” Strange comment, coming from a guy who had allegedly been defrauded of monies, over which the Mayor and C.A.O. had fiscal control, they signed the cheques! Just a point to make to our O.P.P. investigator friends. Very disturbing to say the least, and the worst possible thing for Whitcombe, considering his joint claim against me for Defamation, plus his Peace Bond application in Criminal Court which depicts me as some “psychological killer” hell bent on inflicting bodily harm upon him, his wife, and his family. Click here for more details on this libel suit.
In view of everything which is happening, all at once, to this individual, arguably self inflicted, it is not too difficult to apply the term “delusional” when interpreting his recent behavioural pattern, witnessed by many, in many forms, at many meetings. We look forward to the disclosure of the truth in these mattes.
Remember, this would not be as transparent at this time had it not been for the “Scarlet Letter” and phone call. One wonders (1) how long, if true, has this been going on, with the apparent knowledge of the Mayor and C.A.O., per the C.A.O.’s confirmation statement, as reported in the press. And (2) is there more to this than meets the eye? We must admit, it is worth the time and effort to find out! Very disturbing folks! $900,000 and the Visser referenced cost avoidance of $250,000?
We shall continue to interact with all sources of information, and bring you the truthful facts. Questions – Who is the author of the “Scarlet Letter,” what on earth did it say and who was the “Scarlet phone caller woman?”  Mmmm, someone with a strong grudge against someone, I would say! What do you think? Let us hear from you by emailing at Smelly-Welly@rogers.com.
Very disturbing, but now surprising! Bye ‘til next time.
