The file at Fact Check is rather extensive but it can be viewed rather easily. Go to FactCheck.org and then do a search. I used "US oil reserves" and this story and background info came up immediately. I have seen it several times before in recent months on both Fact .Check and Snopes. I h...

Tina: I just spent some time with Snopes and Fact Check.org and their story about this oil find is substantially different than what was reported on the news-----probably Fox News. this rumour has been around for quite awhile and refuses to die.

If you missed this performance it was surely your loss. It truly was a great Christmas Gift to the community and somehow, the words "thank you" don't seem adequate but I can't think of any better ones so, Thank You to Kathy and all of those great performers. Donegaljim

Until voters and taxpayers decide to get involved in what is going on very little will change. It is unfair to expect a few people to do battle for the whole Island. turn off your tv and show up at a few meetings----you will probably be amazed.

Phil: Glad to have you back with us. Church isn't the same without you----especially since you make the coffee and set up the recording system. You have been shirking your responsibilities and we expect to see you back at it next Sunday.

I would suggest that we ask Bill McDonough to act as Island host and moderator because he apparently has known the mayor for quite a while and because Bill was in a lead position in protesting the Charlevoix action at their council meeting. I think he is in the best position to see that all views ar...

Energy Options

I applaud the idea of trying to find ways to reduce our overall energy costs and dependence but I am not convinced that drilling, storage, and transmission of gas is less capital intensive than other methods. Seems to me that what we need is some qualified technical resources that can help us sort o...
