Marty Luster, Ken Zeserson, and Judy Abrams will facilitate the Q & A after the film, and discuss regional gas drilling concerns, and what you can do about it.

Split Estate is a multiple-award-winning documentary which examines the conflicts between land owners in the western U.S. and those who own and extract the energy and mineral rights below.

FREE and open to all. Handicap accessible. Parking in the Fire Hall lot and along Main St (Rte 96), but please do not block any of the firehouse doors (both front and rear of the building). We are all volunteers, so donations are appreciated.

Please come find out!

Informational meeting
sponsored by Citizens’ Energy Alliance
February 11th 6:30pm to 9pm
Spencer Town Hall, 81 E. Tioga Street

Dr. Theo Colburn will narrate her slide show and answer questions via telephone remote. Jack Ossont will follow with a presentation about citizen’s constitutional rights to health, safety and welfare. A public discussion will follow.

In 2007, TIME Magazine honored Dr. Colburn as a TIME Hero of the Environment for her work exposing the human health impacts of toxic chemicals in our environment and for pioneering the concept of “endocrine disruptors”. More recently Dr. Colburn has been in the news for her work analyzing gas-drilling waste in the Rocky Mountain west, where hydraulic fracturing has been linked to more than 1,000 incidents of water contamination. She has published numerous papers and received several distinguished awards. She resides in Colorado and heads The Endocrine Disruption Exchange. www.endocrinedisruption.com

Jack Ossont is a co-founder of Democracy NY, Inc. After a stint as a Naval aviator during the Viet Nam era, Jack has worked tirelessly for over 30 years in community service and rights based organizing. He is a graduate of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund’s Training for Trainers and in 2003, along with his wife Valerie, received the 20th Anniversary Environmental Leadership award from the NYS Citizen’s Environmental Coalition.
