Edison Public Lecture To Focus on Water Issues 
October  25, 2011 

Edison Community College will be hosting a public lecture series event dealing with the issues surrounding safe drinking water in our communities on Thursday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. in the Edison Theater of the Piqua campus. 

The lecture, “Middle Great Miami River Watershed Alliance: Making Our Drinking Water Better,” will provide a thoughtful and involved community discussion of how water is shaping our lives every day in this region. 

Scott Phillips, executive producer and host of the PBS series The American Woodshop as well as a lifelong Miami county resident, will moderate this event that features Jeff Lange of Protecting our Water-Ways (POWW), Don Freisthler of The City of Piqua CAC and Linda Ratterman of Miami County Soil and Water. 

The lecture series will be offered in four installments, two in the fall and two in the spring, each lasting an hour or less. The sessions are open to all and everyone is encouraged to attend and participate. Topics will range from local to global matters focusing on everything from nutrition to exotic forms of music to the impact that pesticides have on our region’s ground water. 

The lecture series is sponsored by The Arts & Sciences Division of Edison Community College.
