Ohio Demonstrators Blockade Fracking Site 
------------------------------------------


 
In Ohio, a group of demonstrators blocked access on Monday to a natural
gas well in Trumbull County used for the dumping of waste from the
drilling practice of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The protesters
rallied to call for increased testing and monitoring of waste water from
fracking sites after a spill in a residential area earlier this month.
At least three people were detained in Monday's action.
