| UPCOMING EVENTS Tues., Jan. 19, 7:30 p.m. Central United Methodist Church, 17 Nanticoke Ave, Endicott Potluck supper and speaker Toby Anderson gives a virtual tour of Salt Springs State Park, Franklin Forks, PA, a hidden gem right in our midst. He will describe how a group of concerned citizens have taken over managing a State Park which, for whatever reason, was neglected by the State. They have renovated a historic farmhouse as a Park center, built a barn, constructed and board-walked trails, purchased adjacent buffer property and much more. Bring a dish to share: The Lynda Spickard Award will be given to Cynthia Westerman for her long-time service to environmental organizations (see below). Potluck starts at 6:30 p.m. Sun., Jan. 31 Tour the Binghamton University Greenhouse Got the winter blues? How would you like to visit a blooming desert or a tropical forest? You can!

Diligence and Caution Needed in Approach to Gas Drilling We have an obligation to make sure we don’t create another hazardous legacy like the toxic plume in Endicott. Before we rush in too quickly, we need to proceed with diligence and caution on all aspects of the environmental impacts of the drilling to ensure long-term social, economic and environmental health for our region. We applaud the Governor’s recent decisions in directing the Department of Environmental Conservation( DEC) to prepare a new Generic Environmental Impact Statement and it’s implied moratorium, addressing the state’s glaring deficiencies and preparedness for the massive scope of the anticipated drilling. There is still a lot of work to be done to protect the health and safety of our residents, safeguard the rights of our communities and get proper compensation for the intrusion of the gas companies and the extraction of our resources. read more about Marcellus Shale Gas Drilling... |
