SWEAR members appeal for community donations to cover legal fees
To the Editor:
On May 28, the Court of
Appeal for Ontario denied leave
to appeal to the Drennans,
Dixons, Ryans and the
Kroeplins, in respect of their
Charter Challenge to the current
legislation for the approval of
wind turbine projects.
This brought an end to this
particular challenge. However,
much important work was
done and information
gathered during this process.
The County of Lambton and
fourteen groups from across
the province intervened at
Divisional Court this past
November to support the
Charter Challenge and
consolidate the fight.
Ironically, in their decision in
late 2014, Divisional Court
acknowledged that there is a
strong public interest
component here. All of this
will be used by others going
forward. Things are
percolating across this
province on this front, and the
Charter Challenge may well
rise again.
In the meantime, the
appellants in this challenge
are now faced with paying
court costs to the wind
companies. The costs are
considerably less than what
was requested by the wind
Optimist Club frustrated with vandalism
To the Editor:
Frustration comes to mind
quickly when I see the complete
disrespect that some people
have for community property.
Over the past couple of years
member of the Optimist Club
have redone the park with new
sod, fencing and new bleachers,
only to have many things
destroyed. Last week was the
fourth picnic table to be
completely trashed. The netting
that was installed in the
outfield, at great cost, to help
keep the balls in the park has
been cut and made almost
useless.
With the cost of hydro and
gasoline increasing the cost of
operating the park is also
increasing. Each time the grass
cutters do the park they have to
collect and bag garbage even
though there is trash and
recycle cans made available. It
appears that just throwing
things on the ground or under
the bleachers is more
convenient than walking a few
steps to use the containers.
Our park is used mainly by
minor ball teams at no charge.
companies (the court reduced
the amounts) but are,
nevertheless, significant.
We would like to thank
everyone who supported the
Charter Challenge by actions,
financially and/or in spirit.
Support was strong and
continuous. At this time we
are asking you to please
consider financially
supporting the appellants
with their court costs. Their
fight was a community fight
and we can, and should, help
them with this part.
If you would like to make a
contribution, please make
your cheque payable to
SWEAR - c/o Dave
However it seems that the
adults watching like to add to
the mess as each week the
number of beer bottles and Tim
Horton's cups seem to continue
to appear out of nowhere.
All we would like is if the
adults see others abusing the
fence or play ground or just
plain littering, please speak up
and take some pride in your
parks.
If you have complaints or
ideas the Optimist Club meet
the first and third Mondays
each month and can always use
new ideas and members. If you
