June 2nd - Letter from Ripley - 5 families!

>> Dear Nikki and family,
>> We have and still are experiencing the symptoms your family describes. You
>> are very strong to blog your experiences. Our family and 4 other families
>> tried the meetings with the companies, the sound testing, yes, in our
>> bedroom, too, and the endless calls begging for relief.
>>
>> The two companies did billet us in town for months, did cut our homes
>> off of Hydro One and put us on stand alone generators, buried small
>> sections of high voltage lines and some other work, but, our home is not
>> yet 100% back to normal.
>>
>> It is hard to trust anyone who says they are experts and can help. It is
>> hard to call into the Spill Action Center in T.O. to report another loud
>> night, even though I know it is the right thing to do to have the incident
>> report on record.
>> The company must take some kind of action to stop the sound problem,
>> since the MOE certificate of approval for the turbines depends upon the
>> 40db level being met.
>>
>> In every letter to Premier McGinty we have ask for help and we asked
>> that no other family in Ontario should suffer as we have. As a group of 11
>> people we thought we were "doing the right thing" by not speaking publicly
>> and by trying to fix things on a "person to person" respectful level.
>>
>> We always took the company reps at their word. We believed their concern
>> was genuine and their studies would end up helping us...OH, we were wrong.
>>
>> Last October's meeting ended with them telling us that all the studies
>> were up to standards and we were being "brainwashed " into believing our
>> symptoms and we were 40 and 50 year old ladies with gravitational humming
>> in our heads (How respectful was that?).
>>
>> Now we are on another set of studies and we are suppose to have another
>> meeting.
>> Since January we have received morale and knowledge based support from
>> other regular people in Ontario in a group called Wind Concerns Ontario.
>>
>> Just regular people who wanted to help. At first I didn't trust another
>> set of experts, but, being a science teacher for 27 years I realized I was
>> not getting all the truth.
>>
>> The truth about industrial wind turbines, industry bias in government
>> policies, electrical pollution and the effects on our health.
>>
>> I was,to say the least ticked that the company reps who sat at my
>> dining room table appearing to be so concerned had access to all kinds of
>> the factual data and nonindustrial research that the Wind Concerns group
>> passed on to us.
>> And all the while the companies allowed harm to continue to come to
>> our families. If there is anytime you want to e mail me at home or at my
>> school email to ask questions or share what we have tried and are trying I
>> would be more than happy to help.
It would my way of helping as those in WCO have helped us.
>>
>> Thinking of each of you and knowing that your biggest wish is for THIS TO
>> JUST STOP, SO YOU CAN HAVE YOUR LIFE AND HEALTH back. (This has been a
>> nightmare for our family units and health.)
>> S.M. and neighbours in the Ripley Wind Project
