RADAR DEPLOYMENT: Turbines may produce false detection readings on U.S.-Canada border
By MARC HELLER
TIMES WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2011
WASHINGTON — Could wind farms in Northern New York unwittingly help drug smugglers?
That is a question the federal government may have to tackle if the Department of Homeland Security does as Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., has asked, and deploys military-grade radar along the U.S.-Canadian border to nab low-flying aircraft. The Defense Department has warned that wind turbines interfere with radar and has opposed their placement near military installations.
Turbines' effect on radar hasn't been a big issue along the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, where developers have eyed a number of locations for wind farms. That could change if DHS deploys the more sophisticated radar — something Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano strongly hinted last week could happen.

CAPE VINCENT — Town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey apparently is off the hook after being accused of breaking state law by allegedly leaking "confidential" documents to the public.
In a letter to the Town Council, Mark G. Gebo, town attorney, wrote that Stacy Aronowitz, deputy chief of the Public Integrity Bureau at the state attorney general's office, advised him on March 7 that the office "will not be taking action" on the town's request for an investigation into the allegations that Mr. Hirschey violated General Municipal Law by leaking attorney-client-privileged documents to the Wind Power Ethics Group.

Wind PILOT must protect property values ~ letter
Wind PILOT must protect property values
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2011
Jefferson County legislators may soon have to approve a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement for the St. Lawrence Wind Project in Cape Vincent. In the rush to embrace economic development, tax revenue and the purported advantages of wind power, the county better ensure there is some provision to protect landowners from potential property devaluation.
The wind industry has gone to great lengths to claim wind turbines will not devalue nearby, nonparticipating properties. On the other side of the debate, however, leading professional appraisers and realtors demonstrated losses of 25 percent and more for distances up to two miles from turbines. My intention is not to settle this argument, but to only conclude there is uncertainty and with uncertainty there is risk.
For most north country residents our homes represent our biggest financial investment and asset. If we were informed by our local bank that they were going to change their savings program so there would be no FDIC insurance and that there may also be a possibility for a loss in our savings of 25 percent or more, how would we react? My guess is that most of us would say no way and probably pull savings out for the mere mention of the idea.
What makes sense for our bank savings makes sense for our property value as well. From my understanding, zoning laws and land use planning are intended to prevent "significant" negative impacts on property values and the use and enjoyment of our property. Massive industrial scale wind development definitely has the potential for "significant" negative impacts.
One way to guard against property devaluation and mitigate any potential loss in value is with a property value guarantee, the equivalent of FDIC insurance for our bank deposits.
The best endorsement for a property value guarantee comes from Ben Hoen, the wind industry's property guru who stated, "I think one of the things that often happens is that (wind) developers put our report forward and say look property values aren't affected, and that's not what we would say specifically. On the other hand, they have little ground to stand on if they say we won't guarantee that." Hoen is right, how can wind developers claim no devaluation, but not guarantee it?
I hope that county legislators agree and that when they negotiate new wind PILOT agreements they insist on a property value guarantee. After all they have experience with this type of property protection — they did it with the Rodman landfill.

Wind company puppet Letter
Wind company puppet
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2011
This letter is in response to the many that Harvey White has written.
The biggest puppet this town has seen is Tom Rienbeck. He has always been a wind-company puppet. Those "confidential" letters and memos from the wind companies were stamped "confidential" because the wind company lawyers told puppet Tom to do so. What the wind companies and puppet Tom were trying to keep hidden was just how much the wind companies were running the town board and the Planning Board.
Supervisor Urban Hirschey ran on an open government platform because the "Rienbeck gang" refused to disclose anything. The documents released clearly show the back-room planning and decision-making puppet Tom Rienbeck, Marty Mason, Don Mason, Joe Wood and Mickey Orvis were involved in.
Harvey (if that's who is really writing those letters, many of us think not) is getting paid right now by a wind company. He has a signed contract. He is one of the 3.9 percent of Cape Vincent residents who will benefit from these wind turbines. Urban has opened the books, and what did he find?

anti-wind group
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2011
At a recent town meeting, Cape Vincent residents asked town official Urban Hirschey to resign because he knowingly gave out confidential town documents, even after being told by the Planning Board's lawyer that giving out the confidential documents would be against town law.
Since Urban is a puppet of Cape's anti-wind group, the anti-wind ringleaders accused the residents of being blindly pro-wind. But it's not an anti-wind or pro-wind issue. Urban did something he knew was wrong. The anti-wind ringleaders assured Urban he did nothing wrong, so Urban responded to the charges by saying he expected to be exonerated. The next day, New York State's Committee on Open Government publicly confirmed that Urban's actions were wrong.
A wind company wrote a letter to the town saying they're concerned about Urban's unlawful actions. Anti-wind ringleaders want you to think the wind company is concerned about the public reading the documents. But the wind company has made it clear what the documents say isn't the issue. In fact, the wind company shows zero concern with people reading the files. It's Urban's unlawful actions that concerns them.
There are individuals on the town board who do not share the anti-wind views of the anti-wind ringleaders, and just because of this, the anti-wind have made it their mission to drag these individuals through hell until they resign. For five years, these individuals have been harassed, bullied and accused of corruption. The anti-wind ringleaders tried suing them for corruption, but no corruption was found, so their lawsuit failed. They demanded the attorney general investigate the individuals for corruption. The investigation was conducted, and no corruption has been found.
Yet within 11 months of the anti-wind's puppet being on the town board, he was caught engaged in conduct that a state official without hesitation recognized as wrong. And the anti-wind ringleaders are crying foul and screaming "no fair." The anti-wind ringleaders aren't good at recognizing what's truly fair and unfair.
If Urban refuses to resign, will he recuse himself from future votes? It all depends on what his anti-wind puppetmasters tell him. Urban probably regrets trusting the anti-wind ringleaders and being manipulated by them.
The Cape community could be discussing how revenue and jobs from wind development would prevent the potential closing of the Cape elementary school, but we can't, because we're too busy dealing with the nonstop drama the anti-wind ringleaders are dragging this community through.
