The development of natural gas in the rich shale deposit underlying Ohio moves ahead as pipelines begin to move from the planning stage to construction.  But already incidents in the building of the Rover pipeline have environmentalists concerned.  Backers of the industry say two recent spills were not toxic and are being cleaned up.     We'll hear from representatives from the oil and gas and environmental sectors. What the are the benefits and potential downsides to pipelines and how will the projects be monitored for safety?     Then, as the NFL prepares for its yearly Draft, construction moves ahead at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Village.  The project is remaking part of Canton's landscape.
