Pollution Control Plant smell may leave with Heinz By Bill Chaplin, Municipal Correspondent The report from Dillon Consulting is in — all 36 pages of report, tables and appendices — but the reality remains that it is not clear what makes the sewage treatment plant smell so horrible some days but not others. The good news is that there are a few clear suspect areas that can be subjected to mitigation measures likely to work. The bad news is that reasonable efforts may not be useful due to circumstances beyond municipal control. To start with, the consultants were able to associate occasions when odour complaints came in with elevated biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels. Simply stated, occasions when waste that is more concentrated than usual is received by the plant. The report goes on to explain that “high strength wastewater flows from Heinz (a main contributor to BOD load) may in part lead to high odour emissions from the LPCC process.” In his presentation to Council Dec. 2, Manager of Environmental Services Kit Woods said, “Clearly the elimination of the waste stream from the Heinz facility will have a dramatic impact on the PCC operation and most likely also the potential for odours to be released from the PCC into the neighbourhood.

More than 1,000 supporters for Aubri’s Angels By Sheila McBrayne It was a rollercoaster of emotions with laughter and tears never far apart as a small, but mighty Leamington girl was surrounded by the love and support of her community. Seven-year-old Aubri Andre was running around with friends and cousins at Colasanti’s on Friday night, November 29. The special fundraising dinner in her honour was attended by more than 1,000 - a far cry from an original goal of 200. One of the several organizers, and aunt to Aubri, Sarah Guenther, was more than happy with the turnout. “It’s overwhelming we had 850 sold before and it will be around 1,000 here throughout the evening,” said Guenther. Aubri modestly said it was “pretty nice” that everyone came while her mother, Lisa Andre, fought back tears when expressing her gratitide to all those present, all those who donated and to the entire community for its support. “I can never repay everyone, but I hope some day to be able to pay it forward,” said Aubri’s mother. Aubri’s father Phil Andre was not at the event as he was in Alberta to find a new home for his family. On Tuesday, Nov. 26, the family found out that Aubri was going to be receiving treatment for her Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and her Chronic Myelogenous Leukaemia at the Alberta Children’s

Hospital in Calgary, which has Canada’s leading oncology department. “They have the highest success rate, and we want the best,” said Lisa. The Andre family, Lisa, Phil, Aubri and their other children Jaxon, 4, and Averi, 14 months, are moving to
Calgary for the treatment which is expected to last for at least three and half years, plus followup. Phil was one of the 740 Heinz workers who were recently told the plant would be closing by June 2014. Through ticket sales, si-
lent auction items and donations, the event was expected to raise more than $50,000. Donated toys and money ($2,541) were accepted for Ronald McDonald House. (More photos on Pg. 20)
