- In a phone conversation with the mayor, ODNR maintained their position that HB278 assigns all power regarding this and other potential drilling sites to them and them alone. Expect no assistance from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources now that we have reverted to a decision making process patterned after the divine right of kings.
- Mr. Rags Coxe from Sonoco, good to his word, left a phone message for the mayor last Friday. Mr. Coxe is no dummy, and his assistance is viewed here as essential. He and Mayor Larson have not spoken directly yet, but that conversation should occur shortly.
- The mayor is still in contact with the governor's office.
- Cuyahoga Falls is supposedly still planning a resolution of their own opposing the drilling. If anyone in CF is in-the-know regarding the status of the resolution, please post to the blog with details.

There are many questions raised in recent days that require thoughtful answers:
- Has anyone noticed how high the river is, right now, right at the Sonoco property? Has anyone asked how flooding would affect the well site?
- Has anyone anticipated the possible side effects of an earthquake? Just had one in Lake Erie this month.
- It has been suggested that the well site is located on the "outer fringe" of the water well field five year protection zone. What does "outer fringe" mean? This aint horseshoes, folks.
- If gas and oil are expected to migrate to the well casing for removal, can we not logically expect harmful, drilling related chemicals to migrate in the other direction as well? If so, how far? Without a proper hydro-geological survey, is guesstimation by ODNR a suitable replacement?
- Why has the Stow Sentry refused to print letters to the editor about this issue?
