White Ash says "EAT S@!T"!

Did you know, if you can smell something you taste it? The same is true of the opposite. If you can't smell it, you can't taste it. Don't believe me? Hold your nose while you are eating, see if you can taste what you are eating. Remember your mother telling you to hold your nose while taking some god awful cold remedy? It was so the taste wouldn't be as strong. Same thing applies to all of this CRAP being spread up on the hill. The odor is so strong at times, it doesn't matter how much garlic you put on your food, it still tastes like CRAP. Human CRAP. Fecal matter. And that is eating indoors, don't even consider enjoying a meal outdoors on a warm summer afternoon. Food prepared by the chef's on Hell's Kitchen can't change the taste of CRAP, no matter how they dress it up.


How much crap does it take to confine people to their homes? Not much, if you live in Mildred. According to some White Ash members they aren't dumping that much up on the hill. According to these same members it's all the fault of the Lewises because they are spreading it on their land too. Well just how much is not much on White Ash Land? According to Bruno Najaka they had at one time stockpiled 6,000 tons of CRAP up on the hill. Then the piles grew to 14,000 tons to be spread on Lewis's property. (By the way, Lewis's property butts up to White Ash's land up on the hill, just in case you didn't know that.) Now the stockpiles are up to capacity. Do you realize how much CRAP that is? Break it down by truckload. A dump truck has a gvw of 70,000 lbs, tare weight anywhere from 24,000 to 27,000 lbs. So, each truck can haul 43,000 to 46,000 lbs or 21 to 23 tons. You've seen the trucks running in and out, all hours of the day and night. Yes, NIGHT, as late as midnight. What the hell, that's not much CRAP at all...IF YOU LIVE IN LOPEZ and don't have to smell and taste this CRAP, day in and day out.

Originally, they were only going to spread the CRAP to a depth of 7 inches. That has all been changed. They've increased the depth of CRAP to 9 inches or 190 tons per acre. That's a whole lot of CRAP. I appears those people over in New York have so much CRAP running through their sewage systems they need more land to dump it on in PENNSYLVANIA. So they started looking at additional places like Japs Pond and Skeeters. Hasn't anyone bothered to ask WHY??? WHY is New York bringing all their CRAP to Pennsylvania when they have just as much, if not more mountain land. Maybe Hillary Clinton didn't want it in her backyard?

All together, White Ash has approximately 107 acres involved with CRAP aka Bio-Solids. That's 20,330 TONS or 40,660,000 (40 MILLION) pounds of CRAP being spread 9 inches thick. What the hell, it's not in Bruno's back yard or front yard. What is Cherry Township doing with that $20 grand of CRAP money?

All the low ball wanna be politicians have been up to the area (representatives from Tina Pickett, Jim Carney, and Roger Madigan's office) where the CRAP has been spread, lucky for them it was a low humidity day, bad for those who live with that stench everyday, as they politicos didn't find the odor offensive. Of course they didn't find the odor offensive, they're politicians, they're used to being in the cesspool. Typical of politicians they go with the flow, even if it is CRAP flowing into our county, towns, neighborhoods. Complaints lodged by local residents did nothing but afford them a stage to continue their political grandstanding. Days, months, years of complaints fell on deaf ears while the CRAP continued to be stockpiled to capacity and eventually spread over the land. How do you make them stop?

Enter, Turnpike Elementary School. They have had enough, the adults have had enough, the kids have had enough. The school lodges a complaint with DEP and what do you know, Barchey, the contractor, packs up and hauls ass off the job. Leaving all that CRAP up on the hill, in piles. They didn't leave because DEP made them leave. According to Bruno Najaka, they left voluntarily. My guess is they know what is coming down the pike. They got out before the proverbial CRAP hit the fan.

So, now what? The winter snows have come and keep on coming into spring. The contractor pulled out in October or November, leaving all that CRAP up there on the hill. What happens with all that water in the spring melt? All that CRAP water, where will it go?

Keep a sharp eye out, all the drilling for gas, spreading of CRAP and now the prospect of windmills popping up all over the mountainsides of White Ash land, all that you know and love will soon be gone in the name of environmental conservation. Reality is, it's all in the name of the almighty dollar.

There is an old Indian proverb you might want to bear in mind.

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money." - Cree Proverb

My fatehr did everything possible to stop the "crap" from being put on White Ash. He set up meeting in the community, meetings with our representatives, and even a petition in the stopping of this. Walking door to door with him, we heard alot of "well...I dont really want to get involved", but when the smell starting so did the complaints.

Your father did the right thing. It takes guts to stand against the status quo. If you don't you will be just like sheep led to slaughter. I hope he is still fighting the good fight and doesn't back down from this. It only takes one person to make a difference. Hang in there.
