Sedgwick County Commissioners: Cheney Reservoir has been a place where Kansans have taken their families for generations to enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. Wind turbines will mar that tranquility with their flashing red lights. Those lights would be doubled by the reflection in the Reservoir, even from miles away because the Cheney basin is so flat, spoiling the beauty of the area. I’m one of those Kansans I mentioned. I grew up with family in the Cheney area. That's where I spent most of my childhood. When I had children I brought them here to enjoy nature. I’ve hunted here, I’ve boated here, I’ve fished here and just recently, my wife and I purchased land here. I'm invested in this community. I don’t want Cheney spoiled by wind turbines. I’m sure there are other sites more suitable for them. Please help us keep Cheney and the surrounding areas free of anything that will spoil its beauty. Help us do this for all the generations to come. Thank you for your time, Jeff Cooper
