Body language

A group of 150 children and youth from Washington, Greene, Allegheny and
Fayette counties spelled out the words "Stop the Towers" with their
bodies on a hillside Saturday afternoon in Scenery Hill to protest
Allegheny Power/TrAILCo's proposed high-voltage transmission line.

Allegheny Power's Trans Allegheny Interstate Line (TrAIL) proposal calls
for the construction of one 500-kilovolt and three 138-kilovolt
high-voltage transmission lines through Washington and Greene counties.
The proposed lines and substations will directly effect over 700 family
homes in southwestern Pennsylvania including North Strabane and Eighty
Four, as well as impact thousands of homes, farms and businesses
adjacent to the proposed path.
