Catholic school oncerned about wind farm

Stew Slater.
The Huron -Perth ' Catholic District
School Board'' has joined a number of
other • landowners around St. Colum -
ban inexpressing concern about a
proposed wind energy development
near the village.
Trustees discussed the proposal
briefly at a regular meeting Monday,
May 25, and a map of the area was
included as information in the meet-
ing.
Responding to questions from board
chair Jim McDade, business superin-
tendent Gerry Thuss stated it's pos-
sible a turbine could be erected ap-
proximately 1.4 kilometres from St..
Columban elementary school.
► "I would think, at some point, that a
letter from the board might be in or-
der,''McDade said. He added that, de-
_ t.
ie thto rbi> 'soca s ., ru ested
on the map, the property lines for the
school and wind energy proposal are
actually significantly chiller.
"Not that we could stop (the . pro-
posed development), but just to have
it on record." -
The proposal, for north of the vil-
lage, is bordered by Summerhill
Road, Hydro Line Road, Manley Line
and Maple Line.
According to a recent article in the
Mitchell Advocate newspaper, wind
energy assessments and lease agree-
ments were conducted in 2007, fol-
lowed by environmental and noise
level assessments.
Proponents are now moving ahead
with community consultations, with
about 60 residents gathering to ex-
press concerns at. the Brodhagen
Community Centre on May 5.
Mayor concerned about
'in
camera' LHIN meetings
From Page 20
"It's helping other emergency de-
partments stay open," he said.
Seili added that he's concerned that.
the LHIN meetings are being held "in
camera."
"I've felt all along that there's a plan
there already. The in camera sessions
are just muzzling the small communi-
ties," he said.
Coun. Dorothy Kelly (Morris Turn -
berry) asked that Huron County coun-
cil send a letter to the South West
LHIN stating its position on keeping
emergency departments at small hos-
pitals open.
Coun. Deb Shewfelt (Goderich) said
he's getting a lot of email from Fort
Erie where a decision was made . to
close the hospital and open a super
hospital in St. Catharines.
"The mayor of Fort Erie has contact-
ed me as well and we should send a
letter supporting them as well. We're
going to be facing the same thing as
he is," added Seili.
Accdrdifig to the article, consul-
tant Jose Menendez — representing
the proponent, CASA Engineering
and Construction — said in Brodha-
gen that "all residents (could) submit
their written opinions at the meeting,
or send a follow-up email, which will
be included in a report to the Minis-
try of Environment."
Speaking at the Huron -Perth board,
McDade wondered about recent con-
cerns raised in Ontario communities
about wind -powered turbines. Spe-
cifically, he mentioned stray voltage
and sound levels.
In response, Thuss noted the On-
tario government "is doing a study in
the . Wolfe Island area" about poten-
tial effects. "We are keeping abreast
of the situation.
