  • George Rebane *** Busy day today; Sheriff Mack is in town to speak tonight at the GV Vets Hall.  My sweetie and the Nevada County Republican Women Federated have been busy for months on this major speaker event, and now I and a few other husbands have been put in harness to help out.  I’m…

  • [Nevada County Supervisor Ed Scofield represents what we here call ‘south county’.  In his district there is a laudable yet long-suffering development called Rincon Del Rio that has jumped through every conceivable governmental and activist-opposed hoop imaginable.  And yet its proprietors have prevailed, and may yet build the Continuing Care Retirement Community on a riverside…

  • George Rebane Given the interest in the recent ordnance on large gatherings on private land that Nevada County Board of Supervisors is considering, I promised to ask my supervisor (District #1) Nate Beason for some publishable clarification about what is intended and what is going on regarding this issue.  Specifically, I asked – 1.    What…

  • George Rebane The NC Republican Women Federated have been working hard to bring Sheriff Richard Mack to speak in Nevada County.  Today The Union ran a piece on the 18oct13 affair to be held in the GV Vets Hall.  Sheriff Mack is the founder of the nation’s constitutional sheriffs movement and a celebrated public servant…

  • George Rebane This has been a longstanding problem as we wait for the next big wildfire.  The econuts have done everything possible to delay and derail solutions.  Now they have another one in their sights – micro refineries for biomass conversion. This new technology allows the set up of numbers of temporary refining facilities in…

  • George Rebane Breaking Bread Edition #4 on Climate Change will be recorded this Monday at the NCTV studios.  The issues discussion program will be hosted by Eric Tombs and I will be one of Eric’s guests.  Climate change is, of course, today’s more acceptable term for global warming, specifically man-made or anthropogenic GW, specifically correctable…

  • George Rebane The 22jun13 Union joined the animal rights activists’ kerfuffle in their attempt to stop elephant rides being offered at this year’s Nevada County Fair, the theme of which is ‘Under the Big Top’.  I about fell off my chair when I saw the paper’s editorial position getting exercised about the Fair Board’s politely…

  • George Rebane A new democultural milestone has been passed.  More whites now die than are being born in America.  Analyzing Census Bureau data, the Brookings Institution and others report that white women are now bearing 1.9 children on average, and as we all know, population stability occurs somewhere around 2.1 children to account for the…
