American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., is proposing to construct a 138,000 volt power transmission line passing through Thompson, Montville and Huntsburg townships. The proposal is causing much concern on the part of residents due to the locations of the two proposed routes.

Local Public Hearing dates for The Geauga 138 kV Transmission Line Supply Project have been announced by Judge Stoneking.


On Friday, July 11, 2008, Judge Janet Stoneking wrote an order with wide-spread impact on all aspects of our case.

Click here to go to the case docket entry containing the order

Click here to read the full text of Judge Janet Stoneking's order

Of most immediate importance to CARE members and friends, the order fixed the dates of the following procedural milestones:

Witness Identification: August 1,2008
File Staff Report: August 12, 2008
Discovery Completion: August 15,2008
Case Status Conference: August 18,2008
File Direct Testimony: August 25,2008
Local Public Hearings: August 27 - 28,2008
Adjudicatory Hearing: September 2,2008

It is most unfortunate that Judge Stoneking did not consider the date conflict between the Local Public Hearings and The Great Geauga County Fair.
 
This year, we must forego the first day of the wonderful Fair in an effort to protect Geauga County.

There will be many more Great Geauga County Fairs, but this is our one and only chance to rescue our legacy, heritage and precious green space from attack by a merciless $32.4 billion corporation and an uncaring government.


Please plan to attend the Local Public hearings. There will be much more information to follow.

Best Regards,

Jim Galm

HERSHEY MONTESSORI STUDENTS POST VIDEO ESSAY,
“PEOPLE PLACE AND POWER”
on YouTube


Over the weekend, I learned that the students at the Hershey Montessori Farm School in Huntsburg have produced a video essay titled, “People Place and Power” that presents solid facts and learned opinions on the Geauga 138 kV Transmission Line Project. The students emphasize the biological, land use, and societal impacts of the project.

I don’t impress easily, but I was blown away by their essay. The students obviously understand the widespread, long term implications of the project, and express their understanding with clarity and precision. The images are visually stunning – not only is the message on target but the essay is beautiful to watch.

There is no way that I can sufficiently encourage everyone to watch this video essay. It’s on YouTube right now at “People Place and Power”. Please leave your feedback on YouTube or send it directly to the students. I’m certain that they would enjoy reading your comments.

You will not be disappointed by this video essay.

HEARING DATES ARE BEING SET


On Monday, June 23, 2008, a telephone status conference was held between the parties of record in the case and the administrative law judge, Janet K. Stoneking. During the conference, some key dates for hearings were established.

OPSB Staff report due - August 4, 2008.

Public hearings (Thompson and Huntsburg) - August 20-21, or two days during the week of August 26-28, 2008.

Adjudicatory hearing - September 2-5, and September 8, 2008 onward.

Judge Stoneking stated that these are the intended dates for the associated events. The public hearing dates are obviously subject to the availability of the facilities in Thompson and Huntsburg. The other dates have no specific contingencies attached. Nevertheless, an order has not been written that explicitly states that these are THE dates. When such an order is posted on the case docket, I’ll relay the information here at once.
