2001 WAS A YEAR OF MANY UPS AND DOWNS.  FARMS KEEP GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.  WE HAVE AN AREA WHERE NUTRIONTISTS AND VETS ALIKE CAN NOT SEEM TO ELIMINATE COW HEALTH ISSUES.  COWS DON'T EAT THE AMOUNTS OF FEED THAT OTHER AREAS, PRODUCTION STILL REMAINS A CHALLENGE AND SICK AND DYING COWS CONTINUE TO PLAQUE OUR FARMS.  ALONG WITH SICK ANIMALS THERE ALSO IS A HUMAN HEALTH EPIDEMIC (TOO MANY CASES OF CANCER).  NO ONE WANTS TO INVESTIGATE WHY SO MANY FARM FAMILIES AND PEOPLE IN AND AROUND THESE FARMS EXPEREINCING HEALTH PROBLEMS.

THE MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL CAME TO OUR AREA FOR A SPECIAL REPORT FROM CHANEL 7 OUT OF DETROIT.  THERE WAS ENOUGH VOLTAGE BEING PLACED IN THE GROUND BY CONSUMERS ENERGY TO HEAT THE FUEL CELLS ON 3 ROCKETS THAT WERE SHOT OFF THAT DAY.  RUN A TRAIN CAR AROUND A TRACK AND LIT A NEON SIGN. JENNIFER GRANHOLM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL QUESTIONS " IF THERE IS THAT MUCH VOLTAGE IN THE GROUND AND IT ONLY TAKES A SMALL AMOUNT TO STOP THE HEART OF A HUMAN, YOU HAVE TO WONDER." THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S COURT DATES ARE DUE TO COME UP THIS APRIL.  SHE IS ASKING THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION TO ORDER CONSUMERS TO UPDATE THEIR UTILITY SYSTEM.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING HAD AN ARTICLE IN THE APRIL 2001 ADDITION OF THEIR MAGAZINE AND A RADIO PROGRAM.AS A RESULT, PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE US CALLED TO SAY THEY EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR FARMS AND HAVE MANY OF THE SAME HEALTH PROBLEMS.  THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ELECTRICITY IN THE US WAS ALL PUT INTO PLACE ABOUT THE SAME TIME AND IN MANY AREAS HAS NEVER BEEN UPGRADED.  THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON A NATIONAL SCALE.  WHEN THE DEMAND FOR MORE ELECTRICITY GREW THE UTILITIES BEGAN THE PRACTICE OF LEACHING THE UNUSED CURRENT INTO THE EARTH AS WAY TO RELIEVE THE PREASURE ON THE SYSTEM AND THE EARTH BECAME PART OF THE CIRCUIT.  THERE ARE NO STUDIES THAT SHOW ELECTRICITY IN THE GROUND IS SAFE.

WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR US CONGRESTIONAL LEGISLATORS MAKING THEM AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND ARE WORKING WITH THEM ON SOME LEGISLATION FOR UPGRADING THE US INFRASTRUCTURE.  THE NEW FARM BILL DOES CONTAIN A SEPARATE ENERGY CATEGORY.

IN THE FALL, GARY NUELL A NEW YORK RADIO PROGRAM, DID A SHOW ON ELECTRICITY FEATURING, THE MI ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, DAVE STETZER, AN ELECTRICIAN FROM WISCONSIN, DR. MARTIN GRAHMAN, WHO HAS STUDIED THIS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARSAND A MEDICAL DOCTOR FROM FLORIDA WHO WORKS WITH PEOPLE EXPERIECING MEDICAL PROBLEMS FROM ELECTRICAL INFLUENCES. 

PRESENTLY WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH 60 MINUTES, WHO RAN A SHOW 10 YEARS AGO, TO DUE AN UPDATE TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE THE PROBLEM STILL EXSIT AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

WE KEEP THE WHEELS TURNING, BUT THIS ISSUE IS NOT GOING TO BE RESOLVED OVERNIGHT AND IT WILL TAKE EVERYONE PITCHING IN TO MAKE A CHANGE HAPPEN. AS TIME GOES ON AND OUR DEMAND FOR ENERGY INCREASES MORE AND MORE FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED.  WHAT OTHER INDUSTRY HAS BEEN ALLOWED NOT TO UPGRADE THEIR FACILITIES.  THE TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED SO THAT THE EARTH DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A PATHWAY.  WE MUST DEMAND THAT THE UTILITIES ACT IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY AS NOT TO INJURE MAN OR ANIMALS.
