Wind Turbine Survey - Comments
COMMENTS
Transcribed in no particular order….
All wind turbine projects are predicated on where they are located. There is a large tract of land along the south shore, south of army reserve rd – ideal place for limited number of windmills. But transmission should be underground to limit the potential damage.
Finally most importantly – NO development should be permitted until there is a comprehensive alternate energy plan drafted for the County.
This plan must be sustainable and meet best practices for the community.
Major wind energy development is needed to reduce air pollution and resulting health costs and to extend the life of the fossil fuel supply. It supports family farms and rural economy and will not scare any tourists away.
I see wind turbines as a major step towards a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren.
I believe there is insufficient data available regarding the effects of wind turbines on the health and well-being of people living in the proximity of the projects to enable us to simply decide to go ahead for the benefit of the few who will benefit from leasing of farmlands to their development.
There is a lot of information left out about the economics of windmills. The Federal government gives a grant of $10.00 per KW capability of each windmill. We do not know how much the Provincial government gives the producers of electricity are paid a premium price by Ontario generation while the consumer pays 5-6 cents per KW (and we still pay to have sent to us and pay hydro’s debt).
So the taxpayer is heavily subsidizing these projects which at best run 60% of the time and have to be taken off line for maintenance.
The system is inefficient and Mr. Smitherman knows it so he can promote nuclear energy.
The programs supporting alternative energy are a sham. Geo thermal would supply good heating and cooling but cost for new construction is prohibitive (no rebates – no incentive). Heating and cooling our homes and business consumes a lot of energy.
Solar hot water is also a large consumption of energy. The program again means you have to go through bureaucratic hoops. People making money to tell you what you already know.
In order to get the rebates we need not only to oppose but provide alternative.
Note: the timing of this survey is not the best.
This is the busiest time of the year.New information related to distance and health concerns are coming on stream as we speak.
The European experience has been mixed. There are issues of reliability, oscillation and storage that have not been fully addressed.
Further I do not agree with grant programs that do not provide a payback to taxpayers that substantially front the costs.
If private enterprise wants to do this, the cost should be born by shareholders not the taxpayers.
I feel this wind energy fever is a misplaced dumping ground for a lot of people wish to do good environmentally.
However, to ruin the natural beauty of a place like the County is a net loss for everyone and earth.
Apparently countries with extensive wind turbine developments have experienced no reduction in fossil fuel use, which I guess is the perceived goal of wind energy, so why would it be different here.
Brainstorming sessions without the rush to do something immediately, while the easy handouts are available, could lead to numerous and varied alternatives to big, dumb turbines littering the landscape and have an actual and verifiable reduction in fossil fuel use.
I also think it is great you are doing this survey and I assume it is with the intent of coming out publically with your findings.
Then as a highly visible presence in the community, everyone will know where the Chamber stands on this issue, which of course you will know when you analyze these surveys.
I don’t support any turbines on Prince Edward Point or anywhere near or in sight of Sandbanks or North Beach Provincial Parks.
I mostly so not support wind projects as they have been proposed in Ontario to date. I think that wind power projects might have a place in an overall alternative energy initiative that includes other types of alternative energy but I believe these projects must be carefully planned so as not to damage the communities and countryside and waterfront where there are places.
The projects proposed will probably decrease much need revenue for Prince Edward County. It seems clear that property values and tourism will drop id these projects go forward.
The damage will outweigh the benefits.
Thank you for taking this survey.
Wind turbines over 50 feet in height should not be allowed in Prince Edward County. PEC is a populated, vibrant, beautiful destination point that Ontario needs and cannot lose. Wind turbines will decrease property values, health, landscapes and the aesthetic desirability for Ontarians and others to visit, shop, enjoy and possibly reside in this beautiful jewel Ontario has. Ontario only has 4 to 6 “Jewels” to attract tourism, places for our seniors or approaching seniors to retire or buy …….. homes.
PEC ranks with Niagara region Ottawa, Muskoka, Oak Ridges, as pristine cultural, agricultural areas in Ontario. All should have ugly large noisy expensive wind turbines banned forever.
I agree with the proposal put forth by 3 men from Big Island – small scale wind projects, solar panel, geothermal units, etc. with grants from governments. Not foreign huge scale towers.

Deseronto Transit
As many of you may have seen in this week's County Weekly, there is now public transit available from Picton and Bloomfield to Belleville.
Deseronto Transit will be running buses from Macauley Village, the Crystal Palace, Metro, and the Bloomfield Post Office, going to the Belleville Bus Terminal, the Bayview Mall, and Shoppers Drug Mart in Belleville.
Buses run throughout the day at convenient times for commuters departing to and from the County regularly.
Tickets are very affordable and there is even an option for a monthly pass, or a book of 10.
This is great news for tourists that do not wish to drive here and want to take the bus or train to Belleville and then come to the County because there is now affordable public transit.
For complete fare and schedule information check out www.deseronto.ca
or the ad in this week's issue of the County Weekly.

Message from the President (August 2009)
From the desk of Dave Ashton:
Summer has arrived and with it, the tourists. “Waring's Corner” may be one of their first attractions or hurdle with the addition of the new round-about.
This scenic addition compliments our new home building centre, Home Hardware, the new expansion of the Waring House and marks a welcoming entrance to the Picton area.
The County has received some wonderful news from our Provincial and Federal governments with the announcement of money coming to the County in support of the building of the Wellington Community Centre and County Youth Park in Picton.
These projects will be great assets.
The Provincial government has been on a summer recess so there has been no further word on the implementation of the “Tourism Competitiveness Report”.
We will keep you informed as information comes in.
Our office has received many calls and emails regarding the proposed Wind Farm developments in the County and we have been asked to issue a statement against the development.
As our organization is made up of many members with diverse opinions, we cannot make a statement for or against however, your Chamber would like to have member feedback on this important issue.
Please fill out the survey and return it to us.
PECCTAC will send the survey results and comments to our local and provincial government representatives.

Being your own boss
The Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism & Commerce has been an active participant of the BYOB project.
The key reason that BYOB has been a big success to date is the continued support to help local youth establish their own businesses and gain new entrepreneurial skills that will help them in their future careers as business people.
So far this year The East Central Ontario Training Board has hosted 3 youth entrepreneur camps that involved approximately 200 local students in full day activities and learning, with another 2 camps to be held in the fall.
The feedback from the students has been very positive. To date there has been 9 young entrepreneurs accepted into the program for support and access to the $3,000 startup grant.
Some great businesses have already begun, ranging from a construction and design business, a database management company to a masonry company.
It is the goal to increase the number of participants before the end of this worthy initiative.

OCC - Global Pandemic Tool Kit
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce is reminding businesses throughout Ontario to be vigilant in protecting their operations and employees from possible effects of a global pandemic, by issuing an updated pandemic planning guide.
“The quick reaction to the situation occurring in Mexico shows us that we have learned a great deal from past experiences, and yet, research continues to show that while many businesses are aware of the possible impacts of a pandemic, few have made preparations so that they can deal with this possibility,” explains Len Crispino, President & CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.
The Pandemic Planning Tool Kit was first released in January 2007 to businesses across the province in an effort to minimize disruption to the province’s economy in the case of a pandemic or other widespread emergency.
A national survey confirmed in 2008 that half of Canadian businesses over 500 employees still have no plan to manage a pandemic.
The tool kit includes the following:
• Estimates of potential staff absences
• Legislative requirements governing staff absences during an emergency and subsequent return to work
• List of possible effects to services and business operations
• Prevention techniques to limit the spread of disease•

Dan Aykroyd's Ideal Route Starts In Prince Edward County!
Today's, June 13th issue of the Toronto Star features the article "On the road with Dan Aykroyd" in the Travel section.
Aykroyd shares his dream wine route and says that he would start in Prince Edward County!
Aykroyd says he would begin his trip in mid October with about a dozen friends driving some Harley Davidsons and a couple of vintage cars.
They would stop for lunch on the patio of Lake on the Mountain Resort.
He says, " They have a wonderful kitchen and serve a great tourtiere with homemade chili relish."
Aykroyd then says they would push on through Picton which is filled with great restaurants.
Aykroyd's wine route takes him on to Toronto and the Niagara region.
