Congratulations! Happy (42nd) Anniversary, Julie! And may God bless your next “22,075,200 minutes” of wedded bliss…
If anything has ever ‘made America great’ it is folks like that (Mr. & Mrs. Julie) who through undoubted adversity, have persevered, demonstrating an integrity and strength of character to which we all would do well to aspire. Thank you, Julie for your shining example of what is possible – and what should still be ‘the norm’ in America – despite the overwhelming efforts to eviscerate all that is good and decent.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 NASB95
“Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
George Santayana, The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress (1905-1906) Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense
“There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden (1910)
- Columbia Falls Aluminum Company – McGarvey Law
[From the featured NYTimes article:]
IN 1985, the Columbia Falls Aluminum Company wrung a 15 percent pay cut from employees in return for an apparent will-o’-the-wisp: a share of profits from an aluminum refinery that was a perennial money loser.Brack W. Duker, the corporate executive who had just bought the refinery from the Atlantic Richfield Company for a symbolic $1, held out a firm promise, many workers recall. If the aluminum market ever recovered, Mr. Duker assured them as he lobbied for the plan, ‘’a dollar in your pocket is a dollar in mine.’’
In the end, the workers reluctantly accepted the offer. And the price of aluminum did in fact recover – far beyond anyone’s expectations. Starting in 1986, Columbia Falls Aluminum became a money-making machine.
But over the next five years, rather than splitting the take, Mr. Duker and his minority partner, Jerome Broussard, funneled much of the money into offshore bank accounts. Before they cut off their union and salaried employees altogether, the two men had awarded $84 million to them and $231 million to themselves. As it turned out, a dollar in the pockets of workers would be nearly $3 in those of the owners.
- CFAC, Ruis announce sale agreement for 2,400 acres of land | Hungry Horse News
The Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. has agreed to sell 2,400 acres of land it owns to Columbia Falls developer Mick Ruis.
[…]
The transaction is expected to close once the Environmental Protection Agency releases the Record of Decision on the Superfund cleanup, which focuses on landfills at the site.
[…]
“If I can build a 1,800 square-foot house with a garage for $550,000 … that’s my target,” he said.
[…]
The Proposed Action to clean up the Superfund site calls for a slurry wall that would contain cyanide and fluoride that is in the groundwater in high concentrations near the West Landfill and the former wet scrubber sludge pond.
The wall would contain the waste, the EPA said, and keep it from flowing away from the landfills. While concentrations of cyanide and fluoride are high in groundwater close to the landfills, the groundwater has low to no cyanide by the time it flows to the Flathead River.
The Proposed Action also calls for scraping away contaminated soils on the site that were close to the plant and burying them on the wet scrubber sludge pond and then recapping it.
The cost of that cleanup is estimated at $57 million.
