  • George Rebane A couple of weeks ago I sent The Union a letter mostly to see what they would do with it.  It was time sensitive and related to the cynical aspects of the partial shutdown.  Since the letter was not published during the shutdown, I assumed that it was rejected.  But lo and behold,…

  • George Rebane The Nevada County Republican Women Federated should feel justifiably proud for putting on one of the best organized and attended public speaking events in recent memory.  More than 600 people showed up last night in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall to hear Sheriff Richard Mack deliver a rousing defense of local governance against…

  • 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 9/11 – Today some of us remember that we are at war with a civilization whose belief system – evil by our standards – cannot survive along ours in an open and inter-connected international community.  And yet others believe that 11 September 2001 happened because of some fundamental misunderstanding between two peer cultures…

  • George Rebane [This is the transcript of my 16aug13 KVMR radio commentary, plus a couple of snapshots.] Last Tuesday I attended the opening of the Nevada County Library’s Collaborative Technology Center or CTC.  The ribbon to the new 2,000 square foot facility was cut by country librarian Jessica Hudson after a few attending dignitaries had…

  • 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…
