For Immediate Release:

NAPAW CALLS BEHAVIOR OF HEALTH

OFFICER CHUA XIONG DISGRACEFUL. Calls

for a full public enquiry. Prior to papering

her final decision that there were “no links

between human health effects and turbines,”

Xiong in an FOI refers to needing Tylenol as

a preventative for migraines she gets while

visiting the Shirley Wind Project, Glenmore,

Brown County, WI.

“Carolyn the times I have been out there by the Wind Turbines, l get

such migraine headaches. I think I should take some preventative

Tylenol before I head out there.”

This, and then following, a mere month later, Ms. Xiong’s assertions and papering

of an opinion that there are no ill health effects possible from industrial wind,

specifically the Shirley project, where there has been an almost Biblical recording

Page

of human suffering. Ms. Xiong made her astonishing declaration that there is

North American Platform Against Wind Power

MOF, Alm.del - 2015-16 - Bilag 369: Henvendelse af 21 og 24/3-16 fra Mauri Johansson vedr. vindmøllestøj

“currently” no scientific based research or evidence to indicate negative health

impacts from industrial wind projects. Ms. Xiong completely ignored the sworn

affidavits representing over 50 ill residents, recorded over a year, meticulously

gathered and coorelated to studies, and also referenced to significant peer

reviews; she agreed only to monitor “annually.” This decision was “final,” she

indicated. This “out of reality” decision despite the fact that the Board of Health had

admonished that

afflicted families should benefit from immediate emergency

aid/housing.

It was apparently irrelevant to this officer of health that the families of Brown

County prepared sworn affidavits and documented past and continued migraines

and ill health, and that the Board of Health’s assessment was that the project was

indeed a “public health hazard.” Ms. Xiong’s categorical oppositional judgement

and negation of their obvious turbine impacts, has left residents reeling.

Migraines are commonly accepted symptoms of proximity to industrial wind

projects as pointed out by

Swedish Otoneurologist, Dr. Hakan Enbom.

The famed

American paediatrician, Dr. Nina Pierpont,

has also identified three risk or

susceptibility factors of

Wind Turbine Syndrome,

notably, one being migraines.

The impact of the discovery of the FOI documents related to the behaviour and

decisions of Ms. Xiong, some of which implicate incorrect and even possible

fraudulent statements in research, and certainly which negate the relatively well

known impacts and documentation on ill health world wide, is enormous. “Why,”

Page

said Sherri Lange of NA-PAW, “is this in your face “lie” allowed to stand without

North American Platform Against Wind Power

MOF, Alm.del - 2015-16 - Bilag 369: Henvendelse af 21 og 24/3-16 fra Mauri Johansson vedr. vindmøllestøj

scrutiny in law?” “Why would residents have any faith at all in their ability to trust

health professionals of this kind?”

Health officers have the responsibility

to “optimize” positive health over

lifespans,

for residents. From its website: “

The Brown County Health Department protects

and promotes individual and community health through education, regulation and

leadership to empower community members to attain well-being across the

lifespan

.”

Given the abject failure of this Officer of Health to perform duties, we ask the Legal

department of Brown County to examine the Charter, conduct a survey of the

conduct of Ms. Xiong and any other related parties in the Health Department, who

by their actions and non actions are increasing the depth of suffering of the

residents of Brown County. We request that afflicted residents be compensated

until such time as the offending wind project is removed or mitigated to the

satisfaction of residents. NA-PAW further calls for a full and open public enquiry

into the process and activities followed by Ms. Xiong and her staff.

“The time when officers of health can irresponsibly re-create human health history

in their own pro wind bias, possibly under guidance or influence of the industry

itself, ignore

the impacts recorded in human bodies by the victims

themselves,

and use bogus literature reviews, and arrogant statements that have no basis in

fact whatsoever, are done. It is time for these custodians of human health to step

up and protect, not negate, ignore, and obfuscate.” added Lange, “ Or let them

Page

face the legal implications of this behavior. “Let it be further noted,” Lange said,

North American Platform Against Wind Power

MOF, Alm.del - 2015-16 - Bilag 369: Henvendelse af 21 og 24/3-16 fra Mauri Johansson vedr. vindmøllestøj

“that aiding and abetting, if there has been this, may be prosecuted and

punishable as if the person has directly committed an act.”

Mr. Jim Vanden Boogart, President of Brown County Citizens for Responsible Wind

Energy (BCCRWE), told NA-PAW

"On behalf of BCCRWE I submitted 85% of the

many scores of credible documents to Ms. Xiong. I can confidently assure you that

her review process, the work product that resulted, and her conclusion are wholly

without merit and contrary to the evidence she had at her disposal".

NA-PAW encourages the complete exposure of all the facets of this neglect of duty

by Ms. Xiong, with the benefit of the enquiry. “This story of obfuscation is not new

in a Health Department with respect to industrial wind, sadly. It may be, however,

the most recently exposed, and one of the most flagrantly arrogant and

incompetent examples to date.”

Each video includes an earlier and a later video recording of the same family,

with the later recording being a follow-up update made 1-2 years after the

earlier video.

Here's an overview of each family:

Cappelle Family:

Home located 1300 feet from closest wind turbine Abandoned their home due to

health impacts. Moved into a small home in a local community, while continuing

to pay taxes, utilities, and mortgage on the abandoned home. Could not sustain

the economic burden, so eventually had to try to sell their home, which was their

grandparent's homestead. Could not find a buyer, eventually sustaining large

financial loss when bank foreclosed on the home and sold at sheriff's auction.

Schauer Family:

Home located 2600 feet from closest wind turbine Continue to live in affected

home and seek refuge in basement for partial relief. Children are adversely

affected.

Tenor Family:

Home located 2000 feet from closest wind turbine Continue to live in affected

home due to financial inability to move out. Wife used to be very strong woman,

hunting deer at over 60 years of age. Now is a shell of her former person. Husband

also adversely affected.

Ashley Family:

Home located 8300 feet from closest wind turbine All family members adversely

affected. Moved into a small home in a local community, while continuing to

pay taxes, utilities, and mortgage on the abandoned home.

Continue to live as wind refugees waiting to return to the home they love. Are only

able to return to wind project home for short periods of time due to sensitization to

IWT emissions.

Ashenbrenner Family:

Home located 6000 feet from closest wind turbine Ran family dairy farm with

assistance from father who previously ran it for decades. Lost significant portion of

herd following Shirley Wind turbine startup - cows, calves, and breeding bull

Eventually had to sell remaining herd due to economic inability to continue dairy

operation with reduced herd . Currently works several jobs to make ends meet

Also:

One other family, not recorded, the Enz Family, has been living as wind refugees in

their RV for over 5 years while waiting to return to the home where they raised their

family and hoped to live out their retirement years, but had to abandon due to

severe heath effects from 4 nearby wind turbines. Home located 3200 feet from

closest wind turbine.
