George Rebane It seems that when it rains it pours (see also Reading at Risk – Nation at Risk). This morning the Wall Street Journal’s lead editorial highlighted the insanity that continues in our land with the handling of wealth generating intellectual talent. Our laws and regulations make it easy for foreigners to get their…
-
George Rebane “Reading at Risk is not a report that the National Endowment for the Arts is happy to issue.” Thus starts out the latest study on the reading habits and abilities of America’s adults. The report “presents a detailed but bleak assessment of the decline of reading’s role in the nation’s culture.” The following…

George Rebane [This piece first appeared on 27 January 2006 in the Other Voices column of The Union. It attempts to highlight the sometimes insanely conflicting agendas of certain activist factions of Nevada County that seek to limit growth in these idyllic mountains while concurrently demanding that access to that region from a major metropolitan…
-
George Rebane The Editor of Nevada County’s The Union, Jeff Pelline, graced my announced exit from the newspaper’s online community blog with a visit to this blog and a lengthy comment that expressed his continued irritation with certain local bloggers. His agitated missal appeared to address concerns that did not relate to my ‘sayonara post’…

George Rebane We lived our entire adult lives in SoCal; Jo Ann was born in Los Angeles where I arrived as a teenager. The 25 years before we moved here in 2002 were spent on Saddle Peak Road on the crest line of the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu. With sweeping one hundred-plus mile views…

George Rebane In the 23nov07 issue of The Union a Grass Valley reader takes exception to our governor’s “flagrant” misrepresentation of California’s growth under his administration. After some research on the web, she states that “In truth, California no longer ranks as sixth-largest. We have not had this status since 1999. We are currently ranked…

George Rebane Dear Reader, the articles below posted today 23 November 2007 all address community growth as it affects our small (pop approx 100,000) Sierra foothills county. However, the issues we grapple with here in Nevada County are at least national in scope. I’ve done my best to gather these together from their originally published…

George Rebane (This appeared on NC Media Watch on 7 April 2006) If I had my druthers, I’d like western Nevada County to grow into what a lot of folks call a ‘balanced community’. We all have differences in what we consider balanced, my own vision is something close to Simi Valley in Ventura County,…
-
George Rebane (Originally published on NC Media Watch on 4 February 2006.) Today the ill-defined notion of a balanced community is almost universally worshipped by all right-thinking people. The other night in Grass Valley the balanced and sustainable community was rolled out during a public forum on growth. Everyone there accepted its obvious merits as…
-
George Rebane (originally posted on NC Media Watch on 14 January 2006.) On the larger scale the growth issue in Nevada County is a tempest in a teapot. But to those of us who live in this lovely little teapot that issue promises to brew itself into a full-blown hurricane. Let me posit that the…
