HEAT want to know the facts about wind farms
BY ROBERT
TETU
Special to the
Sentinel
When residents of
uron East (former-
ly the town of
Seaforth and sur-
rounding area) went
• to an open house
presented by a wind
energy developer in
mid May, they
expected to be able
to ask questions
about health con-
y ceras.. Instead they
found 13 placards
outlining a proposed
wind farm almost
literally in their back
yards. The consuh-
-00-1.04 ants on site refused
to allow questions to
be voiced publicly,
and invited people
to write their con-
.
cems on a piece. of
paper and deposit
them in a box. Over
a month later, many
have still not
received responses.
A small . ad hoc
committee, dubbed
Huron East Against
Turbines (HEAT)
was formed and
after a flurry of
research, held a
public meeting to
present their find-
ings about the
adverse effects of
wind turbines. Over
120 residents
packed the hall and
signed a petition
which was present-
ed to Huron East
municipal council at
a two hour deputa-
tion. HEAT request-
ed a moratorium on
wind projects pend-
ing a full epidemio-
logical study. While
it appears that the
council's hands are
tied by the recent
passage of the
Ontario Green
Energy Act (C150),
the group continues
its fight against the
Maitland
n Lucknow
"Serve The Lord With Gladness" was
the theme for the Maitland Presbyterial
Women's Missionary Society meeting
held on Monday, May 25 at Lucknow
Presbyterian Church. There was a fun
time of fellowship and delicious desserts
served by the Lucknow women before
the meeting. There was a good turnout of
around 60 women from all the various
WMS groups.
President Joanne Lennips constituted
the meeting with prayer. Rev. Peggy
Kinsman welcomed everyone. Marian
and Norma Raynard le 1 the group in a
lively sing -song. The worship time was
led by the Brussels group. Rev. Terry
Samuel delighted us with special music
:on his trumpet. Erlma Haldenby, repre-
sentative from Council, shared with us
the disturbing facts about human traffick-
ing. She encouraged us to sign a petition
to snake a change in a Bill to not. just
make human trafficking illegal but
amend it to give a jail term.
Guest speakers were Re v. Susan
Samuel, minister from Kincardine and
her husband, Rev. Terry Samuel who
spoke about their educational trip to
Taiwan. They shared how the
Presbyterian churches in Taiwan are
growing rapidly by "Actualizing the
Kingdom of God". They showed an
enlightening Power Point presentation in
'partnership with the Canadian and
Taiwan Presbyterian churches. * The
hymn "All Praise to Thee My God" fol-
lowed by prayer closed the meeting.

planned project and
wants to educate
everyone in the area
about the dangers of
noise, vibration, and
stray voltage created
by wind turbines.
A public educa-
tion meeting is
scheduled for
Thursday, June 18 at
8 p.m. and will be
held in the Seaforth
Community Centre.
Featured speakers
include Carmen
Krogh, an inde-
pendent researcher
who is studying
health effects linked
to wind turbines and
their proximity to
residences. She is a
former director of
pharmacy with the
Edmonton General
Hospital, a lecturer
for many years with
the University of
Alberta, a director
with Health Canada
in its pesticides
agency, medical
journal writer and
researcher andthe
director and editor-
in-chief for several
years of the massive
national medical
ieference tome -- the
Compendium of
Pharmaceutical
Specialties.
David Colling
tests homes and
farms for the pres-
ence of stry voltage
and will relate his
experience testing
.the some homes in
the Ripley near new
turbines. He found
that • the lines carry-
ing electricity from
the turbines to the
transmission lines
were located too
close to the lines
leading to -the
homes and created
much higher 'than
normal levels of
electricity in the
homes. This was
supposedly causing
residents to display
the symptoms of
electrical hypersen-
sitivity dizziness,
ringing in the ears,
fatigue, headache,
feeling of pins and
needles and a bum-
ing sensation.
As well, the audi-
ence will hear testi-
monials from sever-
al victims ,of wind
projects in
Ripley/Kincardine
a n d
Shelburne/Meiancth
on.
The HEAT group
wants to make sure
that landholders
don't blindly go into
contracts with ener-
gy firms without
knowing the facts
and that the public
in general know
more about the
e
problems related to
wind turbines. With
new government
regulations about
turbine set -backs
from . residences
pending public
comment, it is
hoped that many
more concerned cit-
izens will contribute
their objections
about wind farms to
the Ontario govern-
ment.
