  • Scattershots – 16sep16 (updated 20sep16)

    George Rebane Nevada City is my home town, a place unbelievably charming and full of character nestled with its sister city Grass Valley in the Sierra foothills.  We discovered it 25 years ago and have lived here for the last fourteen.  It is a community founded by miners, expanded by agriculture and timber, and 'modernized'…

  • Prop64 misses on RMJ legalization

    George Rebane It’s RMJ time again as we consider Prop64 that will appear on the November ballot and invite Californians to not only legalize the dear weed but allow adults to possess, purchase, transport, and give to another adult an ounce of marijuana, all for recreational purposes.  Moreover, Prop64 would “prohibit local governments from banning…

  • George Boardman nails it

    George Rebane Columnist and RR reader George Boardman wrote an excellent and timely critique of California’s STEM education available today in our secondary schools.  Not only did he present relevant stats on the status of courses offered across the state, he also gave a chilling summary of the new revisionist history and social studies subjects that…

  • Independence Day Weekend Thoughts (updated 3jul16)

    George Rebane This will be America’s 240th birthday celebration observed by divers cohorts of “real live nephews of our Uncle Sam” not all of whom wish him a long life.  Our divisions today are at least as great as those which gave rise to the South’s War for Independence – aka the Civil War.  Americans…

  • Ruminations – 11jun16

    George Rebane AG Loretta Lynch, flying hot, true, and normal as the progressive autocrat she is, refuses to submit her coterie of scumbag DOJ lawyers to ethics training as ordered by Judge Andrew Hanen after lying to the court and withholding evidence.  To this, an accomplished scumbag herself, she has now stated that the DOJ…

  • Scattershots – 9jun16

    George Rebane I was heartened to read the Other Voices column in today’s (9jun16) print edition of The Union by Jonathan Collier of the California Grower Association of Nevada County.  Mr Collier’s lengthy piece showed that he understood the wide range of issues related to growing MJ in our rural community.  His call for a…

  • An Election Reflection (updated 8jun16)

    George Rebane When you shoot yourself in a foot that you’ve already stuck in your mouth, there’s a good chance you’ll blow your head off. Today California and five other states render their verdicts in the presidential primaries.  And what boggles my mind are the choices that I and other Americans are presented by the…

  • Nevada County CEO Exceeds His Bounds (updated 7jun16)

    [The following piece was submitted by Mr Eddie Garcia of the SOJ Steering Committee.  He may be contacted at sojegarcia@gmail.com.  Tomorrow in the Rood Center the Board of Supervisors will hear a presentation of the county budget from Mr Haffey.] Eddie Garcia Last Friday, while I was planning my usual attendance to The Board of Supervisors…

  • Ruminations – 23may16 (updated 27may16)

    George Rebane Yesterday we returned from a couple of weeks in Europe with friends visiting Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary.  Somewhere I picked up massive cold augmented by the Hungarian Hack that I brought home on a miserable return from Budapest to SFO in three draining hops.  Air travel (we traveled first and biz…

  • Scattershots – 22apr16

    George Rebane Supes Miller and Weston gave their “rationale” for floating Measure W on the 7jun16 ballot (op-ed in 22apr16 Union). They tell us that W is “strictly about controlling nuisance, environmental and public safety impacts from outdoor (MJ) grows.”  Well maybe.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m on record for sharing these concerns voiced…
