Perseid Meteor shower
Perseid Meteor Shower August 2010 - People might wonder during the month of August, when they are on vacation in the country where skies are dark, the well-known meteor shower, known as the Perseid meteor shower, showcase in the sky.
The Perseid meteor shower is set to light up the night sky at GTA and even far beyond. On August 13, the meteor shower will reach its peak as early in the morning. The annual event may just showcase a celestial offer to make up for what many hoped the northern lights would provide.
So if you happen to see the skies are clear on the night, the chances of a spectacular display of the Perseid meteor shower are very quite high. It was reported that Astronomers estimate that 60 or more meteors could be visible each hour following sunset on the 12th of August.
For those who want to know, the Perseid meteor shower is the result of the comet Swift-Tuttle, which passes relatively close to Earth every 133-135 years. In fact, there’s some speculation that the comet could ultimately strike our planet in the distant future (we’re talking the year 4479 here…).
Now prepare yourself now because the best time to watch the meteor shower will be from the late-night hours of Wednesday, August 11 on through the predawn hours of August 13. Prepare your telescope now for a better viewing above the sky.

Gas Drilling Update-IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION
Dear Resident:
Over 95% of residents in the Lake Arlington area signed natural gas leases so that they could obtain financial benefit from the drilling of natural gas. It is now time to move forward in that process and we have a milestone to achieve over the upcoming weeks that will allow us to maximize this benefit.
A very standard process that is used before we begin to drill for natural gas in the Barnett Shale is seismic testing. Seismic testing helps us to better position the wells in the sub-surface and leads to more productive wells that will benefit us all.
In order to conduct the needed seismic testing, we are required to obtain signatures from at least 90% of property owners in the area. The seismic data acquisition will be restricted to public rights-of-way (i.e. roads, sidewalks, planting strips etc.) and will not be conducted on your property, unless separatearrangements are made.
Below is a link to the letter of support from your local CATS organization, a Seismic Fact Sheet, and the Permit to Conduct Geophysical Survey (seismic testing) for your signature. The Statement of Support is included on the form so that we can demonstrate your support to City Hall.
You may simply sign it now and return it to the address at the bottom of the signature form, or if you would like more information before signing, we are holding Town Hall Meetings to answer your questions. You may attend a Town Hall Meeting at any of the times below. We are no longer conducting these meetings by neighborhood assignment.

A message from Arlington Police Department:
Greetings Community Coordinators and Members,
Every now and again I receive information about a new social service that would be beneficial to our community members. The attached flyer describes one such service, which is coming to Arlington in mid-October. Many of our military veterans return from theaters of war and have a difficult time adjusting to “normal” life again. Sometimes, this failure to be able to readjust escalates to a point of law enforcement involvement. Because of this, I do not think it is too far a stretch to consider it a prevention program and worth passing on to you. Please let your community members know about this service for war veterans since many of us are related to or have friends who fit the program criteria.
