Group airs concerns on wind turbines

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

As differing information continues to spin throughout the county concerning the growing issue of wind turbines, a group of northern Adams County residents known as, "Adams County, Save our Skies," met at the Riverside Center in Decatur on Tuesday evening to discuss their concerns about potential construction of wind turbines in the county.

Hilary Shifferly, who headed the meeting, told those present to write letters, make phone calls and attend hearings offered by county government officials in order to express their concerns about the turbine issue. Shifferly said that the fact that her home could be located within 1,000 feet of a turbine someday is of great concern, especially for health and safety concerns.

Of the approximately 75 people attending the meeting, many admitted that they don't have enough information at this point to make a final decision on the issue.
