Will You Cast Your Mayoral Vote for the Long-Serving Councilman, Ron Jensen, Who Reportedly Signed the First Shale Gas Mineral Lease in Town (With Chesapeake)?  Many may not realize that Mr. Jensen Must Recuse Himself on Most Every Gas Drilling Issue.

Does It Matter that Former City Councilman 


 Mark Hepworth (on January 18, 2011) 


Shocked Many of Us 


When He Proposed Maintaining  Protected Use Setbacks for Gas Drilling 


at 500 Feet from Homes, Schools and 


All Places Where People Live and Work? 


(We were there. We recommended 1,00o Feet.  

We absolutely know how that vote went down.)

Who Would/Will You Vote For? Or will you Abstain from Voting Like Mr. Jensen?


Your Call. Your Vote.


Who Will Handle Her Best?


There's a Decision To Be Made.




Potential Hazards (HC) Lie Ahead.

Oh, My.

So here's Part 2 of the story about an Arlington Church's business deal with Chesapeake:



Wednesday, August 31, 2011
High Point Church's Lake




Sunday, September 4, 2011 High Point Church's Lake




Large Hose Hooked Up to Metered Fire Hydrant
Near High Point Church's Padsite on E. Arbrook 
NW Corner of Highway 360 and Interstate 20


Is It a Very Scary Industrial Accident?


Nope.  It's a Ginormous Water Pump. And It's
Sucking Water Out of This Church's Lake




Re-Plenishing the High Point Church's Lake and/or FRAC Pond From that Arlington, TX Fire Hydrant




So, Where is the Water Going?




Follow the Yellow Brick Road




Musical Interlude




Oh, My


Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow




Follow the Yellow Brick...




Follow the Yellow Brick...




Follow the Yellow Brick Road




We're Off to See the Wizard




The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!!




Ugh. There's No Place Like Home.
~The End~

Grand Prairie, TX Says No to Drilling and Fracking!!

Stage 2 Water Restrictions 

Click Here.


~ No more of this ~




Mandatory restrictions for Grand Prairie residents and businesses require:
  • No watering on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday

  • Even numbered addresses water lawns on Mondays and Thursdays

  • Odd numbered addresses water lawns on Tuesdays and Fridays

  • No watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

It also means that the Gas Operators can't have our water, either.  Oh, they can apply for an "Exception," per well, but truly, can we, the people, apply for an exception? If we can't, then they shouldn't be able to either. So, if Chesapeake or the others need to drill or frack during this Emergency, they might as well forget it!!


We hear that the operators have already been applying for these "Exceptions" at the Grand Prairie Water Department. But we were also told today (by City representatives) that it will be very unlikely that they will get them. We need our water!!


This is a very serious situation!!
