After two years, three months and 19 days, we have one small piece of the puzzle. $10,000. Petrolia’s for- mer CAO walked away with an extra $10,000. We’ve learned that and confirmation of something we learned last month, anything to do with the investiga- tion which led to his dismissal was deliberately kept from taxpayers with a non-disclosure agreement. We believe the $10,000 is significant, Someone who is fired for just cause usually is walked out the door with the bare minimum of their final weeks pay, Petrolia councillors decided the former CAO deserved just a little more of taxpayers money, even though he misled council about buildings he owned and the town used. He clearly broke the rules of the municipality and lied about it in a public meeting. If there ever was a case for a straight out dismissal without any severance, this would be the case. Of course, there is a rub. As much we know about the former CAO’s actions, we still don’t know the full story because the council of the day made sure the investigators report into the debacle would be sealed with a non-disclosure agreement and the protection of the Freedom of Information Act which shields any records of employment from public view. Here is the real lesson of this whole sorry affair; the system that is suppose to give the public access to public information - the Information and Privacy Com- mission - and the Act it uses to regulate the release of information, has failed us. The process is lengthy - two years and three months to get information - cumbersome, and tilted in favour of those trying to shield information from the public in cases like this. When we filed for the information, the hope was some of the mystery could be uncovered in time for the municipal election a year later. That, of course, didn’t happen. The CAO is the highest administrator in the mu- nicipality and is directly employed by council. If we cannot know what happened someone at the highest administrative level in town misleads us, there is no ac- countability to taxpayers in the most important matters. And that is shameful.

Heather Wright Photos Fifty current and former members of the Petrolia Squires took to the ice at the Greenwood Recreation Centre for a 50th anniversary Alumni Game Friday. One of the players from the first team - The 1969 Petrolia Chiefs’ Danny Wilson - suited up for the game along with a host of others from the Allan Cup Days. Scott Kelvin was chasing the puck into the boards, being chased by Jeremiah Goodacre, above, while Paul Musselman celebrates his goal as Ryan Chapman laughs along. Kevin Luckhurst reclaimed the crease for part of the game (right). Organizers say many players hope to reunite for another game, soon.
