Parents Against Everyday Poisons© in co-operation with Shale-Concerned Citizens Groups and Businesses in New Brunswick would like to Thank Calvin Tillman, Former Mayor of Dish, Texas for his Sacrifice of Time away from Family and his Willingness to Share his Story of Shale Gas with New Brunswicker's in his Recent Cross-Province Tour of New Brunswick from Oct. 21st to 23rd, 2011 inclusive.
Calvin Tillman's Speaking Tour of the Province of New Brunswick enabled the people of New Brunswick to hear first-hand what it is like to live with Shale Gas Exploration on one's doorstep. We provided Calvin with a demanding and hectic schedule and he met the challenge admirably. His first morning in New Brunswick, Calvin presented in a special Breakfast Meeting with Public Officials and had participated in seven interviews by 3:00 p.m. on "day one" of his New Brunswick Tour. (He had arrived at 2:00 a.m. that morning.) We certainly put Calvin through his paces and he was completely on board with all that had been planned for him despite the gruelling schedule we presented to him. Calvin executed four public Speaking Engagements and three private - in two days - including a private ad hoc meeting with Officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources from our provincial government. Officials from the Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) are key decision-makers concerning Shale Gas in our Province. Calvin's presence in our province could not be ignored.
It goes a long way in establishing Calvin's capabilities as a Speaker when a University Professor weighs in with his very favourable comments after hearing Calvin speak. Calvin was lauded by Prof. Brad Walters of Mount Allison University’s Geography & Environment Department and complimented on the delivery and nature of his presentation. I should add that Mount Allison University is renowned throughout Canada - the very name "Mount A" commands respect due to its long-standing history of graduating some of the best minds in Canada.
In addition, Calvin was a delight to work with, and presented as "media savvy" in all of his media encounters, whether pre-planned or spontaneous.
Calvin is a "hidden gem" in a world of turmoil.

Over in Sackville in 2011 I not only ordered in "Gasland" to the local store to refer people to watch and tell others about... I physically lent my copy of the DVD to the Middle School Principal, Sarah Lowe, and a teacher, Fraser Turner, both declined to comment on the film, or sign the petition for Ban Fracking at that time or educate the school children about it.. as well on the election day outside the polling station I talked to numerous people about fracking.. as I continue to do today.. making ban fracking signs from recycled materials.. riding around on a bicycle with the signs.. asking people to learn about fracking.. try to share the message that the practice is unsafe and dangerous for all of us people in New Brunswick ~ if we do not stick together on issues we are destined to be divided, time and again.. I promote energy solutions .. including John Searl's SEG Magnetics.. learn more at www.searlsolution.com .. and of course, I've been called all sorts of names and attacked as a 'comes from away' .. at this point I have been blocked out of Facebook.. as well as banned from numerous activist/organic groups .. what I want to know is: what will take to unite our people in this province? Wake up and smell the genocide.
