Chesapeake Employees Go to Summer Camp
Counselors and campers invited Chesapeake Haynesville
employees to play games and help with arts and crafts
at MedCamps of Louisiana.
At MedCamps of Louisiana, a summer camp for children living with disabilities, Chesapeake employees put manpower behind the company’s monetary sponsorship and acted as team captains for the MedCamps version of "Minute to Win It." More than 20 cerebral palsy campers participated in a modified version of the NBC game show which features simple, yet competitive, challenges using everyday household items. Challenges included pulling all the tissues from a tissue box and wrapping camp counselors in toilet paper.
"Children battling physical and mental disabilities are often excluded from traditional childhood activities because they have special needs, but with MedCamps and the people and corporations which support it, children with disabilities will no longer be left out. We thank Chesapeake and its employees for giving of their resources for such a worthy cause," said Caleb Seney, MedCamps of Louisiana’s Executive Director.

Sales tax collections hit new heights in DeSoto

MANSFIELD — Sales and use taxes collected over the past fiscal year in DeSoto Parish didn't quite reach the high end of the commission director's prediction of $87.6 million made two months ago. But no one is quibbling that the number fell short by only a few million dollars since overall collections have reached heights never before attained in the parish.

The Haynesville Shale
Chesapeake is most proud of the Haynesville Shale because it was discovered by the company’s own geoscientists and engineers. More than twice the core area size and holding more gas in place per square mile than the Barnett Shale, the Haynesville Shale is anticipated to become the largest natural gas-producing field in the U.S. by 2015.
