St. Columban residents get informed on wind turbine health concerns
BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK
Seaforth Huron EsposttorSYaff
A Ripley woman, who lives near her
area's wind turbine project and has been
fighting to have her community's health
problems acknowledged by the provincial
government, congratulated the residents of
St.. Columban for questioning two pro-
posed wind projects before they're built.
"We've suffered extreme health prob-
lems and we're so proud of you as a com
munuy that you're coming together to find
out the truth," Sandy MacLeod told the
close to 400 people in attendance at an
information meeting about wind turbines
Thursday night in Seaforth.
"You're taking the time to do the right
thing for your health and your community.
Well done," she said.
The wind turbine information night,
organized by Huron East Against Turbines
(HEAT), also included presentations by
Ripley -area electrical consultant Dave
Coiling and Carmen Krogh, a retired
director of pharmacy at Edmonton General
Hospital and a medical journal writer.
MacLeod, along with Helen Forster and
Glenn Wylds, explained the health prob-
lems they've suffered since the Ripley
wind project was erected two years ago.
"We lived for 32 years on our property
and never had a complaint. I became sick
three months after the turbines started,"
said Forster, who described symptoms
such as tinnitis, sleep disturbances, anxi-
ety, stress, heart palpitations and hypersen-
sitivity to noise.
MacLeod said she recorded her trouble
sleeping night after night . on the family
calendar and dealt with her daughter's
digestive problems and family's stress until
she was concerned that her marriage might
not survive.
