In 1996, after working for 41 years in the public service, (15 years in the R.C.A.F. plus 26 years teaching and administration) I retired in New Denmark for what I thought would be peace and tranquility with my neighbors and environment. NOW because of the proposed wind "farm", things have changed, and pitted neighbour against neighbour!

High on my list of concerns is what effect these wind turbines will have on our health and well being. I would like to see New Brunswick follow the World Health Organization's recommendations with respect to placing wind turbines in residential areas i.e. set backs.

High on my list of concerns is what effect these wind turbines will have on our health and well being. I would like to see New Brunswick follow the World Health Organization's recommendations with respect to placing wind turbines in residential areas i.e. set backs.
The other day I read two quotes from a Canadian magazine. (1) "A community anywhere in Canada has a right and duty to manage its growth and development in harmony with the wishes and aspirations of its citizens."
(2) "Stand firm in what you believe. The land resources don't belong to us, they belong to the future. Our responsibility is to take care of them and not to destroy them." Therefore, from the above statements, I feel the individual is saying - set your guidelines with the whole community and then enter into development of your project!
During my five years of study at Acadia University, I studied light, sound, electricity and magnetism. I have a working knowledge of how they are produced, transmitted and isolated. However, the effects are multiplied many times with the proposed scale of the wind "farm".
All members of the community should take advantage of the vast material available. Then they would be in a position to make an informed decision with respect to their individual concerns!
I trust our elected officials will take an informed look at establishing setbacks, and health issues as a result of placing wind turbines too close to a dwelling. A doctor in the Bangor News said, "...maybe, even six miles is too close!"
