Journal of Shawn Eckles' Campaign 2012 Report #4

Last week I attended Troutman's safety day at City Hall, where I spoke to several Iredell county residents concerning the change of landscape and population in Troutman. Among those in attendance was Troutman Mayor Mr. Elbert Richardson, who was excited about the turnout for the event.

Today I attended the Iredell County Soil & Water Conservation District meeting in the morning – the government panel I want your vote to put me on in November. They discussed issues concerning the Third Creek watershed project and also approved several budget items. Following the meeting concepts concerning landownership, mineral rights, surface pollution and service pollution were discussed with me. Because these concepts are used in reference to fracking, I thought about giving the members at the meeting a document on the social and economic issues with Fracking along with the dangers to the soil and water that Fracking causes. So over the next month I will prepare a document that I will give to the members at the next Iredell County Soil & Water Conservation District meeting.

Board meetings are open to the public and are held on the second Tuesday of every month at 9:00 a.m. at the District Office in the Agricultural Resources Center.

In my research on the Lincoln Heights project, I found that E.V. Dacons, the very last principal at Lincoln Heights in Wilkesboro, also taught at Unity High School in Iredell County, in Statesville.
