NEW WASHINGTON - The wind was not cooperating.
As representatives from Apex Clean Energy, Inc., tried to set up displays and a video screen in preparation for a public meeting about the Honey Creek Wind Farm projecton Wednesday evening in the picnic shelter behind the New Washington American Legion Hall, the wind kept blowing everything over.
Their problem was met with more laughter than frustration. Don t you hate it when it s too windy to talk about wind? asked Ben Yazman, development manager, laughing.
The breeze had died down by the time 14 members of the public, county commissioners Tim Ley and Mike Schmid,t and one police officer gathered to listen to Yazman s presentation on the project.
