SUMMARY:Bayfield and Ashland County meeting to discuss Enbridge funding law enforcement
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, both the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors and the Ashland County Board of Supervisors is meeting and potentially voting on a cooperative agreement between the County Sherrifs Dept. and Enbridge where sherrifs would provide law enforcement services for Enbridge and Enbridge will reimburse them. Show up on Tuesday February 24th to voice your concerns. Also show up to the City of Ashland council meeting to tell them not to sell water to Enbridge. More information here.  \n\n\n\nAshland County Board of Supervisors Meeting:  Courthouse\, 201 Main st. W\, Ashland Tuesday\, February 24th at 9am \n\n\n\nBayfield County Board of Supervisors Meeting Courthouse\, 117 E 5th St.\, Washburn Tuesday\, February 24th at 6pm \n\n\n\nAshland City Council Meeting City Hall\, 601 Main st. W\, Ashland Tuesday\, February 24th at 6pm \nMore information on agreement between Enbridge and local Sherrif Departments:  Services Enbridge is funding will include: 1. Assign officers to perform patrols of the Project site and surrounding locations on a daily basis to promote safety and wellbeing on the Project site.2. Control measures. Maintain the peace in and around the Project site\, including assistance with crowd3. Statutory duties. Provide any required emergency or environmental services consistent with4. Coordinate with Enbridge Project personnel as required to perform statutory duties.5. Provide transportation\, parking\, and traffic control services.6. Project site. Respond to calls for service received through general dispatch for incidents at the7. Respond to accidents or incidents at the Project site requiring first responder services\, including but not limited to administration of first aid and completing accident reports.8. Assist in the development and presentation of education-based programs to address public safety concerns regarding the Project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOf exceptional concern in the agreement is Section G. which appears to highlight keeping all financial records hidden and it tip toes on all files being hidden. I.e. no FOIA allowable. This is an extra caveot to what they did for the Line 3 agreement. Likely because people were able to FOIA the financial records and then publicize them. \n\n\n\nOf additional concern\, is that it is likely that the County Board agenda does not comply with the notice requirements of the open meetings law. See pp 14 to 17 of this compliance guide. The law says that the agenda needs to appraise the public of what will be discussed and that if the government body can anticipate a lot of public interest then they need to be more specific. If that agreement relates to Enbridge then the agenda title should say that explicitly since the public is surely interested in an agreement that relates to Enbridge. https://www.wisdoj.gov/Open%20Government/OML_guide.pdf \n\n\n\nDownload and read the agreement here. \n\n\n\nWCA- Public Safety Expense Escrow Agreement- Counties (final)

SUMMARY:And Again\, The Waters Speak - A Puppet Show Against Pipelines
DESCRIPTION:The Pirates of the Buried Swamp present a puppet show against pipelines: “And Again\, The Waters Speak”. \nTime: Friday\, February 27\, doors at 6:30pm\, show at 7pm\nLocation: United Church of Roger’s Park\, in the sanctuary\nPrice: Pay what you can\, suggested donation $15 \n“And Again\, The Waters Speak” is a community built puppet show about colonial wounds\, and building connections from Chicago\, across the Great Lakes\, and to the Enbridge Line 5 re-route in the ceded territories. Most of us who live in cities have been severed from relationship with water. In fact\, the city as imagined by empires cannot exist without this desecration\, and many cities have been standing for so long that we don’t know any other reality. \nBecause of this\, when people hear of extraction projects happening in rural places\, places that have often been protected for longer\, they rush to the front lines\, because it’s easier to fight for something one may see as ‘whole’ or ‘pristine’ than the waters of their own homes. This isn’t to say that one is more important than the other. All our waters are connected\, and by learning the stories of the waters we call home\, by learning how to listen when they speak\, we can stand in solidarity with those fighting extraction farther away from us\, rooted in deep love and responsibility for every being we are connected to in struggle. \nWe chose the medium of puppetry to tell these stories because we wanted to use public art builds as a way to connect with people and get folks thinking about extractive projects both in and around Chicago\, as well as in connection to the Enbridge Line 5 re-route through the ceded territories. Our goal is to draw attention to and question the settler colonial ways of understanding land and water\, to share research about the history of the canalization of Chicago and the effects of line 5 done by others\, and to put on a good show. \nThis is a story in a constant state of telling and retelling\, and we are reaching out earnestly and with curiosity to people who have something they wish to share or correct. Please reach out to us so we can sharpen our minds together. \nThank You!
