Did you know old newspapers make great mulch for the garden? Just dump your decorative mulch on top (which by the way, you will need less of). Also, coffee grounds dumped around outdoor plants helps keep insects away.
Those 24 packs of water are handy but recycle them. Even better, buy a jug with a water filter and purchase refillable containers instead.
Ask for paper instead of plastic but even better, purchase the reuseable bags. The hard part is remembering to bring them with you so just get in the habit of storing them in your vehicle.
As far as those old medicines, I put them in a plastic baggie and duct tape it closed before disposing and some clinics and pharmacies take back the brown plastic bottles the meds come in or just recycle them with your other plastics.
Most communities have at least one weekend a year where you can drop off paint containers for disposal and most recycling centers take styrofoam but it goes into it's own special bin.

"Did you Recycle Anything Today?": I recycled a cat food can and a plastic bottle. It is amazing how much we recycle.I am disapointed that our county doesn't yet recycle plastic bags,styrofoam containers,batteries from cell phones and hearing aids, flash lights etc. What about all the plastic caps on all the bottles and containers? Paint and other hazeradous products?They tell us not to flush unused medications as it gets into the water supply, but if you wrap it as suggested it still goes in the land fill, so what have you accomplished!

S.O.S
SOS is the ongoing messaging campaign and larger movement behind Live Earth.
The mission of the SOS campaign is to empower individuals to change their consumer behaviors and motivate corporations and political leaders to enact decisive measures to combat the climate crisis. The message of SOS is that everyone, everywhere can and must Answer the Call to solve the climate crisis.
The SOS campaign's identity and language is based on the international Morse code distress call: three dots, followed by three dashes, followed by three dots.
The SOS signal will be used as a continuous call to action to prompt individuals, corporations and governments around the world to Answer the Call with immediate and sustained action.
The SOS campaign is using a powerful multimedia platform - short films, television and radio PSAs, an interactive web experience, books, the Live Earth concerts themselves - to provide a global audience with the tools to tackle the climate crisis.
This multimedia campaign will ensure that the message of Live Earth echoes long after 7/7/07.

Did you Recycle Anything Today?
Yeah, I know, recycling is time consuming and takes extra space. Well too bad because Mother Earth is getting very sick from all of our garbage we are dumping inside and all over her and that just isn't nice.
You are just going to have to fit it into your schedule to haul the recycleables off to a recycling center. No room in the house? Build something outside, in the garage, or get together with the neighbors and work something out. Take turns doing the hauling or go fight with the city or trash haulers to provide pickup for recycled materials.
Stop buying products that use a ridiculous amount of plastic to package it in. Complain to the manufacturer's of such products that they are destroying Mother Earth and ask that they change their ways.
No excuse is good enough so save the griping for something worthwhile and expend the energy on learning more about recycling and conserving the life of our Mother Earth. After all, look what she gave us and what are we giving back?! The time is now to get it in gear. I will be glad to help out by telling you how it's done so just check back or look it up yourself.
By the way, plug all your electricity eating appliances into strips that can easily be shut off when not in use. Mother Earth thanks you and so does Al Gore.

Wendy is So Bored...........yawn......
Wendy has left a new comment on your post "Bouschor and the Defunct North Country Bank": So where is this supposed money? What did Bernard do with it? Maybe he has it hidden out in his backyard. LMAO. Please find some NEW/relevant information. Your blog is getting boring. It's the same stuff over and over.
Well Wendy, why don't you find something else to do rather then look at my blog day after day.
If that is all you have to do with yourself then it is only natural that you should be so bored. Try to become a little more actively involved in things that are helpful to others if you have nothing to do or maybe take a class. There are many hobbies and outdoor activities when nothing else seems to fill the void. I am rarely ever bored because my life is so full.
At the request of some very important people, I reposted the info about North Country Bank so if it is not to your liking I am sure there is plenty of other reading available on the internet. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't do this for your entertainment.
As for the money, many would like to know where it all went including the profits from 30 or so failed business ventures Bouschor was involved in. Either he is a complete failure at every business attempt he has ever tried or someone was, and maybe still is, skimming the profits. Being as innocent as you are, you probably wouldn't know that those sort of things actually occur.
But Wendy....many of us, especially the Elders who got screwed the worst, would like the answers to the questions you have asked and maybe someday they will be answered. Keep your fingers crossed but in the meantime, try to find something beneficial to do to pass the time.

A Little Crude Oil for Dinner?
What Do You Think?
OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel.
OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel.
Solution:
Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel.
Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil!

Wishing the Best for Sault Tribe Members
For those of you we fought for and with, we made our point.
For those of you we fought against it's all yours now.
For everyone caught in the middle of the fray, I wish you the
best.
The new administration has a chance to do it right and I truly
hope they are successful in returning the tribe to a profitable
state as long as they share it with the entire membership.
I also hope that the lesson learned was that neither the Bouschor
or the Payment way worked. McCoy can take this opportunity
to give it his best for all tribal members.
What about it Chairman McCoy...do you have what it takes
to do the right thing or will you turn it all back to Bouschor?
Will the members be nothing more than a dollar sign or will they
finally benefit equally as they should have from day one?
Will McCoy represent all or will the Sault Tribe change its name to
the Sault Tribe of Sugar Island Indians and push everyone else
out?
By the way folks, Bernard Bouschor, director on the board, has an
appeal regarding the decision to allow Mackinac Tribe members
to vote. Bouschor, along with McKelvie, wants your dollar signs
but not your vote. More on this soon.

To all those who wanted to know, who complained but were ignored, given an unsatisfactory or illogical answer to your question or you did not receive an answer to what happened to your ballot, just print the attachments and follow the directions below. You can also copy and give to others that you know have an election complaint.

Affidavit 2.doc
If you did not receive a ballot for neither the primary or the general election, have the complaint notarized and attach Affidavit 2 to the complaint and mail to the address on the complaint.

If you, or you know of relatives or other tribal members, who did not receive a ballot for the general election or did not receive a ballot for either the general election or the primary...or have any doubts about the manner in which the election was conducted click on the link above and file a complaint.
It is simple. Just print it, have the Complaint notarized to prove that you are giving a true statement, and mail it to the address on the complaint. Attach one of the two affidavitts provided if they apply to your circumstances. Your bank should provide free notary public services....most do.
Another tribe followed this route and were successful in having those responsible for corrupting the election placed in federal prisons where they belong. It is a federal crime to tamper with an election process and don't let anyone tell you differently.

Things to Come......
When Aaron Payment was installed as the new chairman on Mackinac Island 4 years ago, the room overflowed with supporters willing to pay the cost of the ferry to attend.
At yesterday's installation of Joe McCoy as the new tribal chairman there was only one community member.......one. Where were all his supporters that placed him above Payment in votes? With all the hype and pomp over the new guy how come no one went?
According to a few employees of the tribe, some employees are feeling the change in a very negative way. One supervisor, who had been relieved of many of her duties due to being suspected of violating confidentiality, has been throwing her regained weight around in the form of insults, yelling and bringing some to tears.
This same person also reported to anyone who is forced to listen to her that Aaron Payment and Todd Gravelle were picketing in St. Ignace. I know many of those who were participating in the demonstration and they said there is not a shred of truth to that statement.
Do any of McCoy's supporters believe the tribe will go back to the dictatorship form of rule or will McCoy treat members and staff with dignity and respect? Will McCoy lay down the law to the tribal jesters that hostility, insults and lies or will he be just like Bouschor?
