Turbine appeal based on charter denied May 28 marked another setback for local families fighting against proposed wind turbine projects in Huron East and Ashfield-Colborne- Wawanosh (ACW) as well as those across the province. The appeal, which claimed that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was being violated by the Environmental Protection Act and wind turbine placement, was denied by the Court of Appeal. Citing a Health Canada study, the four families, the Drennans of ACW, the Ryans of Huron East, the Kroeplins from near Kincardine and the Dixons from outside St. Columban, claim that wind turbines can be linked to noise annoyance which can be linked to sleep disturbances, migraines, tinnitus, dizziness and other health issues. In a press release from the families, Drennan said he wasn’t happy with the decision. “We are disappointed with the court’s decision not hear our case,” he said. “No one has been able to tell us that turbines are safe. We are being told that we have to wait to be harmed before we can do anything to stop it.” Julian Falconer, a lawyer for the families, said, in the same release, that this decision will force families in rural Ontario to suffer the alleged health effects before they can seek any remedy from a court. According to a release, the families are committed to exploring other legal options to hold both the government and turbine companies responsible for harms they claim are caused by the turbines. By Denny Scott The Citizen Bluevale-area woman killed in collision Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers and members from the OPP West Region Technical Traffic Collision Investigation Team were on scene investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred south of Wroxeter last week. Just after 4:30 p.m. on May 28 officers from the Huron County OPP Detachment along with Brussels Fire Department members and Huron County EMS responded to the scene of a two vehicle crash located on Brussels Line between C Line Road and Gough Road. The initial investigation has determined a Chevrolet HHR wagon was travelling northbound on Brussels Line when it collided head on with a Ford 500 sedan that was travelling southbound. The lone occupant of the Ford 500 sedan was transported from the scene to a local hospital. Identified as Kathleen Steckley, 70 years of age from RR1 Bluevale, she was later pronounced deceased at the hospital. The lone occupant of the Chevrolet HHR was transported from the scene by air ambulance to hospital in London. Identified as 55- year-old Nancy Sewers from Teeswater, she remains in hospital with serious injuries. Brussels Line remained closed between Amberley Road and Gough Road throughout the day as a result of the collision. Any person with information regarding this collision should immediately contact Huron OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or (519) 524-8314. The Huron County Accessibility Committee hosted its annual awards on Tuesday as part of its recognition of National Access Awareness week. The awards recognize individuals and groups who help to make Huron County more inclusive. The awards ceremony, which was held at Maitland River Elementary School, also featured Luca “LazyLegz” Patuelli, a breakdancer who was born with a rare disorder that limits joint movement and causes poor muscle growth. Patuelli made a second appearance at Maitland River Elementary School later that day as well as one at F.E. Madill Secondary School. The breakdancer’s first show played double bill to the awards which were handed out to three local groups. Named The Award of Merit for Barrier-Free Design, the honour is given to promote awareness of the importance of inclusive and barrier- free design and recognize those who achieve it. The award was presented to Allan Avis Architect Inc., and was received by Avis. According to the committee, Avis is a specialist in accessibility requirements as well as heritage and historical structures and he works as a consultant to include barrier-free design throughout the community. Some projects that Avis worked on which include accessible options include the Maitland Valley Medical Centre in Goderich and Blyth’s Memorial Hall. The Wingham and District Hospital was also awarded and Amy Miller, hospital Board of Directors Chair, and Rob Hutchinson, project manager for the hospital’s redevelopment, received the award.
