Dear Messrs. Starheim, Lee, and Grimbert:

This is me: http://tinyurl.com/ych7o7dr I'd appreciate your answer to a quick question for an item I'm reporting
on my blog.

Re: this item from the January 20th Cape Gazette, Delaware Electric Cooperative solar projects to provide clean
power:

Seven new utility-scale solar projects will begin providing clean energy to Delaware Electric Cooperative
members over the next three years. The nonprofit utility has announced it will purchase power produced
at solar facilities to be built across Kent and Sussex counties.

...Construction will also begin this year on the 4.5-megawatt Heimlich Solar Facility that
will power about 900 Sussex County homes, farms and businesses. The project is a partnership between
Delaware Electric Cooperative and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, which is owned by DEC and 10
other nonprofit electric cooperatives.

The 35-acre facility is being built along Mile Stretch Road just west of Greenwood. Once completed, the
facility will feature nearly 16,000 individual solar panels. The project is being managed by EDF
Renewables Distributed Solutions, a developer of solar and battery storage projects in North America.
The site, which is expected to begin producing power in late 2022, is named after
Delaware native Henry Heimlich, who invented the Heimlich Maneuver.

Per a January 6, 2020 Delaware corporate filing, I was surprised to learn that your project has been in the works
for over two years which included Sussex County Planning Commission meetings held on March 11 and August
26 last year.

What surprised me is that apparently no one involved searched the Internet for my father’s name or even
checked his Wikipedia entry. Had anyone done so, they’d have easily located the information reported in scores
of print and broadcast media exposes that exposed my father as a remarkable and destructive medical charlatan.

Along those lines, I'd appreciate you reviewing the following articles.

From Heimlich Family Maneuvers by Peter Korn, Portland (OR) Tribune, April 12 2007:

“I think some of his (Henry Heimlich's) ideas are delusional,” said Robert S. Baratz, physician president
of the Massachusetts-based National Council Against Health Fraud, which is often critical of alternative
medicine.

'This (Heimlich's career) is the biggest case of scientific fraud I've ever seen. The longest, the biggest and
the most far-reaching, without a doubt. We're talking about a huge amount of money that's been raised
for the widespread perversion of the scientific and medical process and fabrication of data. All of it, back
to the maneuver.'

...”His ideas are insane,” Baratz said. “Some of his ideas are delusional. He has been experimenting on
human beings for most of his career, and he's no different than the Nazi experimenters. There isn't one
iota of scientific basis for this except that Heimlich said so.”

Here’s my question. After reviewing these reports, do you still think my father deserves to be honored by a solar
farm bearing his name?5

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your reply. If you can get back to me by this Wednesday, January 26,
that would be appreciated. If you need more time or have any questions, please advise.

Sincerely,

1 Dad’s surgery career ended in Spring 1977 when he was fired for misconduct by Cincinnati’s Jewish Hospital.
2 In my opinion, this Radar two-part report is the most thorough article to date re: my father’s bizarre career.
3 “In Tampa, which has one of the highest drowning rates in the country, Dr. James Orlowski said he has documented
nearly 40 cases where rescuers performing the Heimlich maneuver have caused complications for the victim.” For more
details, see my web page, Some of the victims - casualties of the Heimlich maneuver for drowning rescue.
4 Per my blog, this article won a 2015 Los Angeles Press Club award.
5 My suggestion? Rename your project after a noteworthy Delaware environmentalist.
