14 TheThe South Marysburgh MirrorMirror 'Opinions' con(cid:415)nued from page 1)  "All of the South Shore has the same endangered species of birds and turtles as in Ostrander Point. The whole area is an IBA. Even if the (wpd) turbines are on private prop- erty, the MOE has always had the power to say what a landowner can do on his property in regards to maintain- ing the environment to be suitable for wildlife." Johanna McCarthy "I cannot express deeply enough the disgust I feel with the betrayal of the Liberal provincial government to ap- prove the wpd White Pines project even before the Gile- ad Ostrander Point decision is made. The same Blandings turtle lives on wpd leased land. Why start another ERT? "And then of course, as evidence mounts inter- na(cid:415)onally and governments move away from suppor(cid:415)ng IWT projects for health and financial reasons, our prov- ince con(cid:415)nues its a(cid:425)ack on rural Ontario!" Gord Gibbins FSA, FCIA, BS "The proposed presence of Industrial Wind Turbines in the south coast of Prince Edward County is a completely wrong direc(cid:415)on for the area. "Do we want PEC to look, sound and feel like Wolfe Island??? NO WE DON'T!!!" Peter Carruthers CEO 43degrees design collec(cid:415)ve "We are especially concerned that the Minister of Tour- ism, Culture and Sport, as the person responsible for the Ontario Heritage Act, failed to uphold Mount Tabor's designa(cid:415)on by-law, which clearly describes this iconic landmark as an "emblem and focal point of Milford." In doing so, the Minister also disregarded the hear(cid:414)elt ex- pression of the great majority of South Marysburgh resi- dents and rejected the professional advice of E.R.A. Ar- chitects' Milford office. "Ul(cid:415)mately, we believe that the government has failed to follow proper process by not requiring an im- pact assessment of the full extent of our historic build- ings and cultural landscapes." Liz Driver and Edwin Rowse "The approval of the wpd wind factory underlines the con(cid:415)nuing and discriminatory despolia(cid:415)on of rural On- tario. This industrializa(cid:415)on, (is) by a government without even the decency to await the outcome of the Gilead ERT in September, where many of the facts crying out for the applica(cid:415)on of common sense and basic science are iden- (cid:415)cal. If these are built, The County will never be the same. Try pu(cid:427)ng them in Toronto's High Park, Premier."
