Hard-working families in our state are drowning. Families should never have to choose between buying healthy groceries and paying their utility bills, but they do.

E-mail Print PDF
Madame G suggests you pay attention to the upcoming Sun Square Moon on Sept. 2. This Last Quarter Moon occurs in Virgo. Virgos are intelligent and may be meticulous to a fault. For other signs, this is an opportune time to refine skills and firm up areas where you may be neglectful or even sloppy. Take pride in your appearance and yourself this week. Virgos, ease up!

Continued from last week.

Holtec Int’l. proposes to transport high level radioactive waste on U.S. Interstates that contains the same long-lived radioactivity released by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic bombs on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945.

There is no data that addresses the temperatures of up to 1,475 Fahrenheit and the number of days or weeks that the radioactive waste will be on American highways, the heat vaporization of the radioactive materials in the air, land or waterways. There is no data regarding the inhalation of radioactive particulates that cause cancer, liver and kidney disease, growth retardation, birth defects and other fatal diseases in human and animals.
