l%20Caplett.jpg> Gabriel Caplett is a writer and web journalist based in
Michigan's Upper Peninsula and has written a number of articles and
investigative pieces related to a recent boom in metallic and sulfide and
uranium exploration in the Lake Superior region of the USA and Canada.
Gabriel will be spending the week discussing the mining operations including
the furthest along of the new projects, Rio Tinto's planned Eagle Mine
located within the ecologically sensitive Yellow Dog Plains.

    "Opponents, including this author, fear that the mine is likely to
produce 'acid mine drainage' ... If exposed to air and water, some sulfides
create sulfuric acid and cause problems for water quality, fish, and public
health"

ri%2015.jpg> Mysteries of the Great Lakes the IMAX movie advertised to be a
dramatic journey through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
The gigantic screen offers amazing views of the Lakes, above and below the
surface and tells an amazing tale of the efforts to bring the Lake Sturgeon
back from the brink of extinction.  But there was a huge missed opportunity
when the film neglected to tell a captivated audience what they could do to
help the Great Lakes.

Respond to Rebecca's Editorial - 

  

"The big failure of this movie was that at no point do they discuss what
people can do to help.  Here was this room full of people, awed and amazed
at the scenery and all they left with was an interesting story."
