FRACKING, EARTHQUAKES, INJECTION WELLS, AND CONTAMINATION RISKS TO DRINKING WATER, AIR, AND SOIL TO BE DISCUSSED AT A FRACKFREE MAHONING VALLEY PUBLIC TOWNHALL – STYLE MEETING ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012, AT THE ELM STREET YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, UNITARIAN CHURCH

Youngstown, Ohio, 10/29/12 – An increasing number of citizens are expressing concerns about hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and related processes, earthquakes, injection wells, and fracking-related contamination risks to drinking water, soil, and air. To address some of these concerns,  Frackfree Mahoning Valley (www.frackfreemahoning.blogspot.com  ) and Frackfree America National Coalition (www.frackfreeamerica.org ) will hold a series of public townhall-style meetings for the community to get accurate information, to ask questions, voice their concerns, and seek positive solutions to safeguard the public health and safety as it relates to fracking.  The first public meeting will take place on Thursday, November 1, 2012, at 7 PM to 8:30 PM at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown, Channing Hall, 1105 Elm St. (Elm and Illinois, across from Wick Park), Youngstown, OH 44505

The public and media are invited and urged to attend.

The meeting will include a presentation about earthquakes and other drilling-related topics by Dr. Ray Beiersdorfer, Ph.D., professor of geology. A showing of some brief, compelling films related to oil and gas drilling will also be shown.  A question and answer period with time for audience discussion will follow.

Frackfree Mahoning Valley says that it is essential for the public to have access to accurate information, transparency, and honest, open dialogue about fracking and related processes especially in light of Youngstown City Council’s recent misguided, erroneous decision to greenlight fracking within city limits, historic Mill Creek Park facing the threat of fracking, and the drilling in the protected watershed area of Meander reservoir, a drinking water source for over 200,000 people in our area.

 “I anticipate another lively discussion on Thursday since this topic involves the prospect of fracking and drilling near or under parks, schools, homes, farms, forests, and cemeteries. It is truly astonishing and unacceptable that fracking in such areas is even considered and permitted,” said Susie Beiersdorfer of Frackfree Mahoning Valley and Frackfree America National Coalition.

Illinois Zombies Claim Drinking Fracking Water Caused Their Zombification; Illinois People's Action Calls For A Ban On Fracking

ZOMBIES CLAIM DRINKING FRACKING WATER CAUSED THEIR ZOMBIFICATION; ILLINOIS PEOPLE’S ACTION CALLS FOR A BAN ON FRACKING
Also here: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/zombie-fracking-press-release

NORMAL, IL- Representatives of Illinois People’s Action will call for a ban on hydraulic fracturing (fracking) during a zombie fracking event at noon on October 30 at the Uptown Normal
traffic circle.
“You can’t drink money,” says Mary Bechtel, an IPA member who is outspoken against hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”). “It would only take 73 wells to drain Lake Bloomington. Furthermore, it is unsafe to our water, our air and people.” Bechtel is one of several IPA leaders who will be speaking at the press conference Tuesday.
IPA is proposing a ban on fracking. “Other communities have banned it and we can too.” reports Bill Rau, another IPA leader who will be speaking at the event, says, “We need to focus on
alternative, renewable sources of energy, like wind.” Rau has been a strong proponent of electrical aggregation which would allow residents to choose cheap sources of energy (like wind) that use
miniscule amounts of water compared to water-guzzling fossil fuel sources.
Bechtel and Rau will be surrounded by a host of zombies who claim they have been zombified by drinking fracking water. “I used to be alive,” says one zombie. “But then I drank fracking water.”
IPA says, “Stop the zombification of McLean County. BAN fracking. If you won’t BAN fracking—RUN!”

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO’S HISTORIC MILL CREEK PARK FACES THREAT OF FRACKING AND OIL AND GAS DRILLING: GROUPS URGE THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND A PUBLIC MEETING THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2012, AT MILL CREEK METRO PARKS FARM TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS, HEAR SPEAKERS

Youngstown, Ohio, 10/22/12 – Youngstown’s beautiful, historic Mill Creek Park is facing the threat of fracking and gas and oil drilling. Park commissioners are having public meetings to gather information to help them decide whether or not to greenlight fracking in Mill Creek Park.

Concerned citizens of Frackfree Mahoning Valley and Guardians of Mill Creek Park are urging the public to attend an important public meeting on October 25, 2012, at Mill Creek MetroParks Farm 7574 Columbiana-Canfield Rd. Canfield, OH 44406 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Scheduled speakers at the October 25th meeting are: Ohio State Representative Bob Hagan, Dr. Ted Voneida (neurobiology), Dr. Ray Beiersdorfer, Ph.D, professor of geology. Dr. Voneida and Dr. Beiersdorfer will speak about geology and chemicals that are vented at fracked wells and the adverse effects they have on the environment and health.

“If you care about the park and our surrounding area, we urge you to please come and hear the speakers and voice your concerns to stop fracking from destroying Mill Creek Park. For the residents who live near the park, this is a matter of keeping drilling rigs out of their residential living space. Fracking and related processes jeopardize the public health and safety and are not in the public interest. To permit fracking related drilling near homes, schools, parks, cemeteries, or forests is simply unconscionable and must be stopped. Evidence that some officials are not protecting the public interest is the astonishing news that a fracking well has been permitted about a mile from a nuclear facility in Shippingport, PA, “ said Lynn Anderson, co-founder of the Facebook group Guardians of Mill Creek Park http://www.facebook.com/groups/guardiansmillcreek/.

See: “Permit to drill is only a mile from nuclear plant,” by Rachel Morgan, 10/20/12, Timesonline.com,  http://www.timesonline.com/permit-to-drill-is-only-a-mile-from-nuclear-plant/article_12b10f0b-6b5b-5045-aaf8-582260c9fa80.html

Frackfree Mahoning Valley says it is important that park commissioners and the public fully understand the high risk of leaks, spills, mechanical failures, drinking water contamination, and earthquakes associated with fracking and related processes. Even before fracking ramps up in this area, there have been accidents, including the 5-mile long so-called “brine” waste spill in Fowler and the fish kill in Brookfield.

Pass Bill of Rights & Urge Mansfield, Ohio, voters: protect YOUR rights - Vote "yes" on Amendment A

10/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Assist passage of
Mansfield, OH, Bill of Rights:
The following is the request from area organizer,

"Hello Friends, Well, the battle lines are being drawn between the greed of the Oil & Gas industry and the rights of individuals at the local level. Mansfield's 'Bill of Rights' is the attempt to have a voice in decisions involving toxic dumping within our city limits. Even though the Texas well owner, Preferred Fluid LLC, had approved permits in April of 2011, no wells have been built and the permits have expired. Preferred Fluids LLC announced in local headlines in June that no wells would be built and then turned around and sued the city in Northern district court for preventing them from doing business here. That lawsuit was pulled two weeks ago because they have no legal grounds to challenge our right to local control even though current state laws seems to indicate that they do.

- - I need your help as never before. Powerful organizations with no vested interest in my community other than to turn it into a toxic waste dump on the promise of three jobs, are spending millions in advertising to try and take away democracy and the voice of the people as intended by our founding fathers. Our city council, mayor and law directors office are united against not allowing toxic wastewater to be injected into our city property through Class 2 injection wells without regard for local concerns and oversight. The 'Bill of Rights', (amendment (a) on the ballot), is one part of four new pieces of legislation to protect our rights and yours wherever you reside. This is obviously having a ripple effect nationally and by taking action to call write or e-mail, you are helping restore democracy to all of us.
- - The American Petroleum Institute (API) , Energy In Depth (EID), The Ohio Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the Regional Manufacturing Coalition (which is a front for Mark Romanchuk, who is running for State Representative against Ellen Haring and his business 'PR Machine Works' located at the same address and use the same phone number) are all falsely claiming various lies in their propaganda campaign to take away citizens rights....and keep the control in the hands of greedy, corrupt, polluting and community killing corporations and entities that do not live or do business in the Mansfield area.
- - The image above is 1 of 3 graphics to use in helping us get the word out. Please forward, share and engage folks in the discussion whenever possible. I know many of you are not from this area but you can also help by contacting these organizations and challenging them as to why they are against people's rights and local control. Raise awareness, bring local control into the discussion and help me help us all. Passage of the Bill of Rights, amendment (a), will be a win for Democracy and for the majority of hardworking Americans.
- - Thank you so much for all your help this past year. All the support and work done by everyone has helped fuel this effort here in Mansfield. Regardless of the outcome, it has been a pleasure to meet and work with so many of you in the fight for social and environmental justice. - Best Regards, Bill Baker, organizer"
