Lakeshore Advance
A meeting of more than 1(0 people
gathered at Hosun(inet school last
week to hear why they should not
sign contracts for proposed
windfarms.
On a 'truth about turbines tote,'
John l.aforet, president of Wind
Concerns Ontario told the group this
is an election year and these people
have to let their elected official or
local candidate know how they feel
about the proposed wind farms.
l.aforet says while wind
turbine companies have no problems
selling residents on the benefits of
wind -generated electricity, they fail
to mention the negative aspects,
President of Wind Concerns Ontario,
John !Afforest, was one of the guest
speakers at last night's 1.a min on
Shores Concerned Citizens (roup
community meeting, and noted that
frequently wind genet and electricity
is wasted.
Four speakers, including !Afoul
explained the health, economic,
ecological and environmental
dangers of the wind turbines.
First tip was David Coiling. 11v is a
Ripley retired dairy farmer who has is
an expert in electrical pollution. 1 le
gave t'X(rtllpl('S of five 110101.' owners
became increasingly ill once the
turbines were installed and have
since sold their homes to wind
farm companies. Ile said he is not
permitted by litigation to state names
or addresses or use photos of those
displaced people through gag orders.
Ile did have photos of their homes,
Which hr snapped from the road. Ile
has been helping people for the past
six years in relation to stray voltage
and health issues. "Farmers have to
analyze what they are signing," he
told the gallery. 11e said they are not
getting the proper advice and he has
not seen 0 contract yet that is good.
'those displaced or living the effects
of the vin(1farms, (:oiling says he is
told their lives have changed forever.
"it might take awhile before it effects
you -hut it will," Ile said for "these
people" meaning the wind compa-
nies," it is all about the money." Ile
warned those in attendance to go to a
corporates lawyer before they sign
anything. "You would not go to 0
dentist for heart settgety,' he said in
his %yarning.
