letter to the editor
Dear Readers:
Who do farmers call for a
bio -security breach by
trespassers?
I have always wanted to
believe that our police
enforce the law in an unbi-
ased manner and with
respect for all citizens of our
province. Based on recent
experiences, I am left
wondering.
Trespassing problems with
the K2 Wmd project continue
to occur despite repeated
complaints from residents to
police. On November 11, a
contractor truck for the K2
Wind project trespassed on
my property in ACW. This
property is clearly signed with
Bio -security and No Trespass-
ing warnings. The heavily
loaded vehicle ignored the
Bio -security signs and tres-
passed onto a loading scale on
my farm. (This is the second
incident of trespass and disre-
gard for Bio -security signs
from the K2 Wmd workers that
I have had to deal with.)
I contacted the police about
the trespassing and the breach
in my bio -security and asked
that they attend. Their
response was "we're busy, and
bio -security issues are out of
our jurisdiction - you deal with
it as you see fit': As per their
s
instructions, I proceeded to do
exactly that. The vehicle was
detained while I dealt with
another pressing farm matter
at another location.
By the time I returned, two
police cars had arrived. Their
arrival was not in response to
my bio -security and trespass-
ing call. The police were dis-
patched in response to a call
from K2 Wind about the
detained truck. Amazing ser-
vice considering that the police
were too busy to respond to my
prior request and had stated
that bio -security issues were
out of their jurisdiction.
This incident was a clear
example of trespass and breach
of bio -security measures. In an
age of PED, BSE, avian flu and
other diseases, on-farm bio -
security is a huge issue for the
security and safety of our food
supply and the protection of
farm businesses.
When residents call for a
police response, they should
be ensured that action will be
taken to address their con-
cerns. Or do the police get to
choose for whom they enforce
the law and which calls will get
a response? Does this mean
that the police are acting as
agents for the wind company?
Does it mean that K2 Wmd has
the right to trespass at will?

meaning of each in living a
good life.

for bountiful blessings. We
sang the hymn "Come, let us
sing of a wonderful love':
Elaine read about a farmer's
wife who "earned" a different
kind of golden heart than she
had first imagined. Scripture
was from John 1:7-11. We
sang "Jesus Loves Even Me
Mary read an instructive
story about a lady with two
water pots, amusingly dedi-
cated to all one's "cracked -
pot friends': Elaine read "The
Jelly Bean Prayer" which
gave symbolism to each col-
our of jelly bean. Mary
shared "Seven Ups for the
New Year": wake up, dress
up, button up, stand up, look

these children.
