Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

I took Sophia to the eye doctor and pediatrician on Wednesday. She is having stress issues. After we were done, we went to my office so that I could do some work before going home.<\/p>\n

While at my office, Sophia kept herself busy and found paper\/pens\/highlighter and did artwork. Art is a way of dealing with feelings, and it provides an outlet for emotions.<\/p>\n

Please share these attachments with the decision makers in your communities. I have not heard her talk much about \u201cingen nous\u201d (engine noise).<\/p>\n

\"sophia1\" \"sophia2\"<\/p>\n

This made me sad, angry, and upset. It also made me proud of the fact that I was doing my best to protect my family and serve my community. Let\u2019s keep working hard so that we don\u2019t have to see this type of art project being done by other little girls.<\/p>\n

InvEnergy did not include any of my noise complaints as part of their annual report to the Vermilion County Board. I know that they have received \u201cperhaps hundreds\u201d of our emails requesting that turbines be turned off so that we could sleep in our house. I also included them on this email, and expect them to include this with their annual report along with how many times they used a tube of grease on the moving parts of their wind turbines.

\u00a0<\/span>When I visited their office today, I pointed out to Matt Wingler (above), the manager of the Vermilion County project, that his annual report was inaccurate and incomplete. I made him extremely uncomfortable, and Wingler\u2019s response was a threat to call the law if I didn\u2019t leave InvEnergy\u2019s property immediately. I am breaking my promise I made to him which was allowing him to remain an anonymous employee of InvEnergy. He may have done what his employer tells him to do, but he has shown that he cannot handle a situation when there is grief and suffering with any sort of human decency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wind turbines do not make good neighbors. Wind energy companies, including InvEnergy, and some of their employees, are pulling off an injustice which is hurting people.<\/p>\n

Please tell everyone you know what is happening to wind energy victims.<\/p>\n
