As voting day nears, I ask you all to think carefully about the choice you are about to make. Dr. Bill Pellow said it best in his (hopefully) last newspaper address. I quote: "You have two more days to make a decision that will affect your life and the lives of your children." He is correct. This decision could very profoundly affect our community for the foreseeable future. Whether this is for good or for ill is up to the electorate. We need someone who will put the needs of the township and its residents above his own. We need someone who's vision is not coloured or blurred by ancient fraternities or secret alliances. We also need someone who is indeed a team player and will accept input from others. Choose wisely. As I have said before, this is not a decision you can undo. On October 26th, you will have to live with your choice, for better or for worse.
As far as this site is concerned, I will continue to offer insight as well as taking suggestions and ideas from members of the community. We will try to build a better Chapleau, together. It's been so much fun, I can't let it end. The tone, on the other hand, will depend on who heads the new administration. Will it be four years of collaboration, or four years of trench warfare? We will know tomorrow night.
A big thank you to everyone who visited my site and took the time to contribute. Your comments show me that I have accomplished something. Be it a smile, a chuckle or the realization that many of us share the same values and ideas, we have shown Chapleau (and others elsewhere) that we really do care about our town. Thanks again and stay tuned!

People’s choice is sometimes quite irrational as was the case with the election of George W. Bush in the United States of America. I truly believe that Chapleau’s electorate possess better judgment than electing Dr. William Pellow. He’s the Chernobyl, not the C.P.R. ties! If elected, the ‘AFTERMATH”, will be known as the “2010 Chapleau Exodus”. The embarrassment of having this man negotiate on our behalf, with investors, financiers and government officials would be unbearable! Funding, along with different government relationships, would forever be damaged. If one is trying to attain votes by making egocentrically unrealistic promises along with donations of worthless used hockey and golf equipment says a lot about how he feels for members of this community. We should let him know that we are just not going to take it and furthermore be insulted!
