Thanks so much Ed, I appreciate the kinds words. I do the absolute best I can.

Make it two people's opinion. Honestly, It was reported just fine. The videos are there, and people are going to make an opinion from that one way or another. End of story.

Tara, why write a story? Why not just publish the videos, without any report. You are saying, "The videos tell the entire story of what happened." Yes, the videos are great, making the need for anybody to write a story irrelevant. As stated, the story wasn't a transcription, but an interpretation of what was said and done for part of the meeting. Why not let the videos stand on their own, without anybody's interpretation?

Never said the "video tells the entire story."

I'm confused as to what you believe was not factual in my reporting of the meeting?

Real quick. If you post here expect a debate. That it is all.

The article is only about "claims." Nothing more. "Claims" have been flying around this region like Red-Tailed Hawks for a couple of years. Nothing new here, only the reporting source.

The well in question is in the middle of a junk yard which leak oil and gas. the area this junk yard is located in according to the county soil survey has a shallow seasonal high water table and is moderately permeable, which means the fluids and other substances that drain from or come off junked vechicles are easily transnmitted to ground water. Since people who are against drilling and the DEP it is easier to blame fracking then to think it could also be something else.

It's "Lynne"...and I didn't say it was "incorrect"...the accusation made by the question was a "lie"...

Rodger, when you report on the internet, you stick to the topic, and keep it short and informative. We live in a sound bite society, and the average reader has short attention span. Besides this is an internet News Paper, and you are just looking to argue.

There is an irony in the shortened story. As the discussion about the meeting went down over the past week, the focus was on whether comments and questions would be entertained. That was of most interest in the meeting. Yet, that was the part of the meeting missing from the report.

I guess all the talk of the past week about the Q & C wasn't so important after all.

Prouder American sorry if my opinion upsets you ,never said turn a blind eye and let Range do what ever they want. Never said didn't want to protect land , air , water and I don't have a narrow view that seems to be your problem, but I respect your opinion. I am also an American citizen and their is such a thing as freedom of speech and I respect your right but you should also respect my right to my opinion I haven't asked you to move because of your opinion. I'm not going anywhere and I don't print anything I don't believe in

Prouder American ,wrong again I just realize that the oil and gas industry any company not just Range is one step closer to energy independence. I also back the coal industry because coal has come a long way to being clean burning then it was fifty years ago. You see I really am a proud American and I believe in my country and I know that technology has come a very long way from the first oil boom in this area. Do they need regulations certainly but fair regulations not like what our country has done to the coal industry. Every company deserves a fair playing field to operate in and yes even make a profit which seems to be a dirty word in this country, those evil profit makers, another thing lost in this country everyone is jealous of someone elses wealth instead of applauding success.. As a proud American I believe we need all forms of energy oil, gas, coal. solar, and wind using our own resources is what made us a strong country. Relying on foreign countries for our basic energy is not and should not be what America is about. If you think I fight hard for energy independence that would be nothing to what I would do to make sure Range or any gas company is doing the right thing by our land , air and water. Education is the key word, research about my fears don't believe one source read everything you get your hands on and look thru the smoke and screen of every article not only a proud American but an educated American. The only thing I'm a cheerleader for is my country.

Because Range is the one who gets in everyone's face with their bullying and lies.

Cecil Resident, I don't think we want all the wildcat drillers coming into Cecil to drill, As far as I am concern we have the best driller (Range) in the country wanting to do right by all of us landowners....They have the best engineers and knowledge in the Marcellus Shale drilling despite want other individuals are saying on this blog.....I want safe drilling the same as everyone else. I feel that Range is the only one that has that expertise....

Cecil Resident - I will check with the township manager, if you'd like me to.

Prouder American give proof not just reasonable suspicion. If America stop progressing because of suspicion or fear of the unknown we would still be living in the stone age. If you have personally been harmed by Range show us tell us your story.

Yeah- because Range conspired with Alan Rank to hold up the money and then Range got caught lying about their involvement. They simply don't know how to be honest about anything.

Prouder American if you have attend the last 3 or 4 meetings as while as the workshop the situation between Range and Rank has been explained. they didn't deny talking to each other. Have you talked to Mr Rank and Range personally? I"m sure they would talk to you and give you his side of the story saw Mr. Rank talking to the other citizen after the workshop who also had issues with Mr. Rank and Range. Like I have said before get all the facts on both sides before making a judgement . Would really like to understand why you are so angry about Range. I saw one of the supervisors take one of our elected officals out into the hall before the begining of the workshop should I gather facts before I make a judgement or should I feel it is just a conspiracy. I wouldn't do that it wouldn't be fair of me until I had talked to both sides first to form a judgement.

Amanda, I don't think that you have to take all the criticism in regard to being a journalist, Many of us want to thank you for this site. However you will have a lot of different opinions and a lot of them are just grumpy individuals. I don;t think you have to keep explaining yourself. Just keep the site civil.....Thank You....
