Here is the map of Canadian wells and their pipelines in Lake Erie.  Thanks Canada!!! For keeping out Great Lakes Clean.  Here some were fighting so hard to keep them from the industry and they do it.   I don't know why but I was shocked when my husband found that last night.  Why are we bothering to fight about anything.........

Intensive drilling sustains Lake Erie gas production - Offshore

Intensive drilling sustains Lake Erie gas production - Offshore

Feel like fool actually. Some have been fighting to keep the oil and gas industry out of the Great Lakes, Well it appears Canada has been drilling on their side since the 50's.  Why are we fighting at all.....it seems pointless now. Have another map showing the pipelines........

Mysterious noise in Chums Corner

2  days ago people in the Chums Corner area of Northern Michigan heard choppers and saw lights.  Read the story and remember BLACK chopper.  Still on the site to read, really surprised they hadn't been forced to pull it.   Scary world we live in. Mysterious goings on in Chums Corner

Couldn't get link to work to copy and pasted it for you. 



Interesting read.  You have to read that study I sent with the link if you haven't. It lays all 
our symptoms out there...in 2006.  Then came upon this one.

Natural Gas is Unnatural

by David Wimberly

Scientific studies are now proving what people with environmentally induced illness have long known. Not only is indoor natural gas use a common contributor to multiple chemical sensitivity needing medical attention, but it also contributes to respiratory illness. This is a major disappointment and disillusionment. Multinational corporations and governments told us natural gas was "the clean fuel, the healthy fuel." Yet intelligent citizens have learned to be very skeptical of the claims of those making billions of dollars purveying petrochemicals.

The founder and director of the Environmental Health Center in Dallas, Tex., William J. Rea, MD, states that, "Of 47,000 patients, the most important sources of indoor air pollution responsible for generating illness were the gas cook stoves, hot water heaters, and furnaces." (Chemical Sensitivity: Sources of Total Body Load, 1994).

Gerald Ross, MD, former president of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, writes, "Traditionally, natural gas is a pollutant chemical that can worsen both classical allergy and chemical sensitivity-[patients with complex allergies and sensitivities] will have only limited success with their treatment programs if they are living in a home that has natural gas or if they are in an area where there is natural gas transportation or leakage."

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, in their publication, The Clean Air Guide: How to Identify and Correct Indoor Air Problems in Your Home (1993), lists under chemical contaminants the "combustion gases generated by the burning of fossil fuels in gas furnaces, fireplaces, hot water heaters, wood stoves and oil furnaces." Converting to electric is recommended, as "sufficient evidence has accumulated on the negative impact on health of using open flame gas stoves."

The use of natural gas stoves is linked to asthma and other respiratory health problems. Increased risk was established for asthma attacks, waking with shortness of breath, reduced lung function and increased airway obstruction. Use of vents did not lessen the harmful effects (The Lancet, 1996).

Infants exposed to home gas heating had an increased risk of developing asthma, with gas being a more significant risk than tobacco smoke (Epidemiology, 2000).

Children living in homes with smokers or where gas stoves were used for heat were nearly twice as likely to have asthma (Pediatrics, 2001).

Individuals who used a gas stove seven or more times per week were at twice the risk of seeking emergency room treatment for asthma. There’s a significant relationship between regular gas stove use and hospitalization for asthma and urgent visits to a physician’s office. At the 65th annual scientific assembly of the American College of Chest Physicians in Chicago, 1999, Dr Mark Eisnor cautioned adults with severe asthma to avoid gas stove cooking.

"A significant adverse effect of gas stove exposure on respiratory health in children" more than doubles their risk for respiratory symptoms, including asthma. A meta-analysis of all published research in this area finds that, overall, research supporting the health safety of gas has serious statistical and/or methodological flaws (Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 1998).

Acute short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide from single episodes of gas cooking was associated with immediate airflow limitation. Continued exposure from repeated episodes of gas cooking in asthmatic women was associated with greater use of rescue bronchodilators (Thorax, 2001).

Gas cooking generates very high concentrations of oxides of nitrogen plus more ultra-fine particles than electric cooking. Recent epidemiology suggests that cardiac effects cannot be excluded (Occup Environ Med, 2001).

Gas is toxic due to:

• the methane itself (an asphyxiant) and gases
• impurities (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene)
• contaminants (radon, methylmercury, organoarsenic, organolead)
• additives (mercaptan odourants)
• products of combustion (nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, fine particulates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (including formaldehyde) and hundreds of other chemicals.

Gas harms in four basic ways because:

• ultrafine particulates irritate the respiratory system
• particulates and toxins burden the immune system
• overloaded systems can become hyper-sensitized
• gas combustion generates water vapour, increasing dust mites, viruses and bacteria.

Imagine what you are breathing when you bend over a gas cook stove to stir your food or open the oven door. This toxic brew sticks to food and to clothes in gas dryers. Natural gas use indoors is a health hazard one can avoid, simply. Most importantly, do not use a gas range or stove. Avoiding other gas appliances will also lessen risk.

Is oil and gas related. Not enough food, oh wait, I'm sure they will have enough oil and gas, for THEM.  Interesting.  

They finally officially got the Great Lakes!!!!!

Commercial dredge sinks in Lake Huron, leaving 500-foot oil sheen on surface

A commercial dredge believed to be carrying 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel sunk early this morning in Lake Huron off the coast of Lakeport, leaving a large oil sheen on the surface of the water.
The U.S. Coast Guard sent out a response boat at around 4:30 a.m. after learning that the 110-foot Arthur J and an accompanying 38-foot tugboat were sinking in roughly 22-feet of water.
Spokeswoman Lauren Laughlin said all crew members are safe and accounted for, noting that the Coast Guard has "a lot" of people on the scene working to contain the spill and devise a clean-up strategy.
The dredge has the capacity to carry 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel, she said, but was only carrying 1,500 gallons when it sunk. It's not clear how much of that fuel escaped the dredge, but Laughlin said crews reported a 500-foot sheen on the surface of the lake.
The Coast Guard has placed a floating boom over the spill and is considering its next course of action, which may include using a skimmer to suck up feul from the water's surface.
"The Coast Guard is out there doing all we can to protect the marine environment," she said.
The dredge and tugboat are believed to be owned by MCM Marine Inc. of Sault Ste. Marie. Owner Joe McCoy was not immediately available for comment.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Department of Environmental Quality have been notified of the spill.
Update: MDEQ: Sunken dredge may release all 1,500 gallons of diesel fuel into Lake Huron

FLARE UP DATE

Update on those Flares.     After conversing with Dave Lawrence (DEQ official) , De, my cohort in this nightmare found out that they had  a permit for 30 days to flare the 3 flares.  ONE well needs 3 flares. It would appear as said yesterday they drilled the well, found so much hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that they couldn't just cap it, it was so HOT and of course SOUR according to Mr. Lawrence.  They are hoping, HOPING, to flare enough out so they can cap it.  UMMMM Wouldn't there still be H2S there and maybe in my opinion blow?  CORE Energy is with those wells, the other company owns the property nearby.  NO ONE WAS TOLD THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING after asking Mr. Lawrence if those around that sour well was told of the dangers of the chemicals.  No, well maybe the company did, I will find out lives around those and try and make contact.
The people living near there or in general should have been informed that there was a hazard of a dangerously, toxic, chemical being "flared".  Nope, not a word.   

Mr. Lawrence seemed new to the job and seemed eager to keep the lines of communication open.  ANYONE who has any problems, especially with that well with the flares, please contact him directly at 989-705-3419.  He has young children and wants to learn all he can about hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.  He also said  there was a possibility that the permit which ends July 12 could be extended another 30 days but he wanted me to know that that wasn't a given.  The more he is hearing from me and De the more he is learning the dangers of H2S.   Well, I told him I would give him the benefit of the doubt, for now, and take his word of wanting to help people.  But I'm watching and he knows it and after dealing with me and De all morning he was saying it was a long day already at noon.  
There is your update.
