  • The Liberal Mind – Go See for Yourself

    George Rebane The validation of the far left’s violent rage and call for revolution that we have seen with the advent of Wisconsin’s public employee labor unions (PELUs) is everywhere you look today.  While attacking by name those who don’t agree with their ideas about America or its future, these progressives cum communists take what…

  • Dancing the CPB Sidestep

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my March column in The Union.  It appears in today's (12mar2011) printed and online editions of the newspaper.] Last Friday many of us attended a well-oiled presentation on the concept of ‘community partnership banking.’   This was given in the Nevada City council chambers by Mr David Rose,…

  • TechTest2011 Preparations

    George Rebane Earlier this week Nevada Union High School hosted the second preparatory seminar held this year for Nevada County high school students planning to take TechTest2011.  TechTest is the annual merit scholarship exam given to qualified seniors and juniors who are headed toward technical careers.   This year’s TT2011 will be given on 26 March…

  • The Two Sides of Wisconsin

    George Rebane The Republican instigated, public service union sponsored imbroglio in Wisconsin continues to roil.  The left spreads itself as the protector of workers’ rights and defender of America’s middle class, the right attempts the logic of ‘this can’t go on’ and sides with the country’s taxpayers.  I think the left is getting the better…

  • Report from Hind Tit Road (updated 28feb2011)

    George Rebane I’m sure we here on Cement Hill aren’t the only ones in Nevada County who think they live on Hind Tit Road.  But we think of it often enough that we might as well grab the name while it’s still available.  After another freezing night without power, our thoughts turn to Pacific Gas…

  • Winter Wonder? Land – 25 February 2011

    George Rebane There’re only a couple of parts of this winter wonderland that folks here in the Sierra foothills are wondering about today – when’s the damn snow gonna stop, and when’s power coming back on? I can just see the grins on the faces of certain RR readers living in parts south and southeast. …

  • The New Nevada County Brand – Really! (updated)

    George Rebane Today the Board of Supervisors accepted the proposal by Switchback Public Relations + Marketing Inc to develop a county tourist promo website and spread the word that henceforth the following image will indelibly remind the prospective visitor of Nevada County and its manifest pleasures.  This shall be the case in perpetuity, or until…

  • Russ Steele makes the New York Times

    George Rebane Russ Steele, pre-eminent Nevada County blogger and author of NC Media Watch , was prominently featured in a NYT article about the impact of social media on blogging.  Russ, who has been an inspiration to many of us lesser lights in Nevada County, spoke for those of us who have not chosen to use…

  • The Unchanging Left View

    George Rebane [This cartoon by my friend, RR reader, political cartoonist RL ‘Bob’ Crabb appeared in the 5feb11 Union op-ed pages.  You might note that we don’t see eye-to-eye on everything.  Oh well.]   No matter the decades of leftwing legislative control that has brought California to its knees; it seems that as long as there remains…

  • Local 39: Unions Eating their Young?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular commentary on KVMR-FM 89.5 that was broadcast earlier this 4feb2011 evening.] In Nevada County Local 39 of the International Union of Operating Engineers AFL-CIO enjoys the membership of about 555 of the current 825 employees, or about 2 out of 3 county workers.  Our county, like…
