Questions remain concerning Timbermill Wind Project BY REGGIE PONDER AND PETER WILLIAMS Staff Writers The company developing the proposed Timbermill Wind Project has not yet decided how to proceed in the w ake of Perquimans County officials' denial of the conditional use permit for the portion of the proj ect slated for Perquimans. Chowan County officials approved the conditional use permit for the part of the project proposed to be built in Chowan. The project its proposed was a 300-megawart wind energy generation facility in the Bear Swamp and Center Hill areas of Chowan and Perquimans Counties. Asked if they planned to appeal the decision by the Perquimans County Board of Commissioners not to approve the CUP and if they were considering de veloping the project using only the Chowan portion of the proposed site, officials with Charlottesville, Va based Apex Clean Energy Inc. said they had not made those decisions. “We are still evaluating options,” Apex spokesman Kevin Chandler said last week. Chandler added “we can’t say for certain when a decision will be made.” Jim Robison, a Chowan resident who has been an active opponent of the proj ect, recenty expressed ap preciation for the 3-2 “no” vote by the Perquimans board. “We were very pleased with Perquimans,” Robison said. “And I thought our (Chowan) commissioners failed in their duty to the county by passing it” Robison also said he thought wind and solar energy projects would not have much of a future under the administration of Presi dent-elect Donald Trump. But some in the wind in dustry are confident that federal policy will remain friendly toward wind en ergy. Chandler noted Apex doesn’t comment on indus try policy. “We generally avoid speaking on behalf of the in dustry,” Chandler said. But Chandler cited com ments by Tom Kieman, chief executive officer of the American Wind Energy Association, who said he believes the fundamentals of wind energy in America remain strong and that with unity and hard work the in dustry can overcome any challenges ahead. One of the most often referenced subsidizes is the federal Producer Tax Cred it, which gives wind energy developers a credit for each kilowatt of electricity they produce. The credit is good for 10 days. According to Kieman, the PTC isn’t likely to go any where. “The PTC is firmly in place and has bipartisan support,” he said in an e mail mesage. “We have champions returning on both sides of the aisle. While Congress can change any law, we believe if the industry fights to retain the five-year deal, we will win.” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R Iowa, influential member of the Senate Finance Commit tee who was just reelected with 60 percent of the vote, said of Trump and the PTC on Aug. 30: “If he wants to do away with it, he’ll have to get a bill through Congress, and he’ll do it over my dead body.” Kieman also pointed out 86 percent of all wind farms are in Republican-held con gressional districts. “We envision that Repub lican leadership in Congress and the White House will want to keep those 88,000 jobs growing,” Kieman said.

Guard worked with five different superintendents in the Edenton-Chowan Schools during his profes sional career. “I learned something differ ent from each one of them,” he said. Guard said what he would remember most was all the effort that he and Wright, along with other school board members with whom they served, had made to make sure that students in Chowan County received a quality education that would serve them well in the future. “My best memory is of lx* $4,000 CASH Newspaper sponsored - Local shopping survey Enter to win now, go to: www.pulsepoll.com The dental hygiene team at Albemarle Dental Associates. m DR.

The de velopment of charter schools that have lowered enrollment in the public school system have also had an impact, he said. “Every dollar we lose is a dollar that can go to help fund programs,” Guard said “Those things tend to have a ripple effect” Guard added that fewer students are pursuing careers in public education due to salary freezes, negative pub licity and the fact that they feel teachers are not as ap predated as they once were. “But through all of this, I’ve been proud to be a mem ber of the board of education and doing my part to help make the tough decisions that we’ve 'been required to make,” he said “I feel very fortunate to have served with my fellow board members.” Positive accomplishments he takes pride in, he said, include the solid improve* ment in the graduation rate at John A. Holmes High School under tire leadership of Su perintendent Rob Jackson, who has made that a prior ity of his administration. A continued emphasis on get ting parents more involved in their children’s schools and activities is another area he mentioned. “I think we do well coasid ering the resources we have available," he said.
