People are so dis- illusioned that they have given up on having anyone actually take their problems seriously. They make their complaint, only to be told they are the only ones complaining and that everything is in line with the guide- ' lines set by the Ministry of the Envi- ronment. .. If these levels are within the guide- lines then you people had better start your research all over again, because I know you would not tolerate , for yourself, or your families, what you .are putting residents through. Every new wind farm brings more distress to people, and yet you can- not wait to have our whole landscape dotted with these machines, from east to west. You show absolutely no consider- ation for people, domestic animals, wildlife and birds. As I write this, my dog is pacing, barking and whining `because this vibration is driving her mad. How do 'I know that? On the days when the turbines are not running or are very quiet, she is perfectly normal. - With all due respect to those in the world, who are living in con- ditions I cannot even imagine, this :vibration is a' new form` of in- dustrial torture, taking place right =SEAFORTH 519=527-0120 EXETER 519-235-2121 Y•vt *et SYrta:tp..Veww,ow^tor, Cur .+andClIt•C. !?.treg:sxeetGaS+eCrryrrksx.

It didn't help. Nothing helps, and I can't shut it off! This has to stop. I implore you to talk to the residents in this province living on.wind farms. Don't discount what they are telling you. If they are having problems, only to be told there is nothing thatcan be done, because all of your guide- lines havebeen met, then what are they to do? Where do they go when they are dismissed? My husband and I have nothing left to lose now. Our house is worth- less as it sits. We put a lot of time, effort and funds into our house to up- date it since we moved here, and for what? How can you even begin to support these companies that promote ;,the idea that living in a wind farm in- creases land value? hive me a break!

They; are just being whipped into place., without due diligence, and now our Premier has decided to take out the role of thenunicipahties. Instead of working with them to solve issues, he is' rolling over them:- And hem:-And it prompts my question once again why is the protection for peo- ple and the environment virtually non-existent in this program?

And, I gained an appreciation for those who are able to be clear and eloquent on the spot because I'm certain I was nei- ther. So, I muddled through the inter- view and after reading the story sev- eral days later, was satisfied that I didn't come off sounding like a com- plete idiot. While I'll still say no the next time someone asks to read my stories be- fore they're published, I will better understand the impulse to ask. And, while I've always taken the responsibility quite seriously to be accurate, balanced and fair, there's nothing like being even a minor sub- ject of a story to reinforce its impor- tance. It's an exercise I recommend to any journalist. **04'-/E4fit'A *41A4041 4,44"r` NO CHARGE RECESSION COUNSELLING For those laid . or losing th r obs, can't pay their bilis or contemplating bankruptcy For an wointment call...
