BAY  CITY  DOOBIES  TICKETS  STILL  AVAILABLE . . .
     For those that haven't picked up tickets yet to the special show of The Doobie Brothers at Bay City's Vet's Park on July 17th, tickets are still available at the 7-11 on Bay & Weiss in Saginaw Township. For only $20.00 you can catch one of America's great rock bands. The Doobies will be shooting a new DVD the following week in Wolf Trap National Park in Virginia. They've added a special acoustical set to the show in preparation for the video. You won't be disappointed.

DOW  DEBATE  GOES  ON . . .
    A recent article in The Midland Daily News on July 8th quotes Dow spokeswoman Anne Ainsworth as stating, "We strongly disagree with the MDEQ's statement regarding Dow worker health. Studies have been shared openly with the public and don't show increases in cancer. The results of 17-peer-reviewed and published studies have shown that the cancer death rate for this employee group is the same as that for the general public, and their overall death rate is 10 percent lower than the national rate."
    

"Ms. Ainsworth may want to write EPA and ask for a copy of Dow's amended workers study," responds Lone Tree Council's Michelle Hurd Riddick in a recent letter to the Review.

 Filed in 1998 to reflect higher incidence of stomach and prostate cancer, this amended report was filed with the EPA Document Process Center, Office of Toxic Substance in Washington, D.C. In a letter to DEQ, notifying the agency of the discrepancy (4/1/98) former Dow Environmental Health & Safety Leader, Jeff Feerer states, "The most important changes are the stronger correlation between cumulative TCDD exposure and prostate cancer was found, and also, a stronger correlation with stomach cancer was seen when a 15-year latency period was tested."
According to Riddick, Feerer was kind enough to share this information with Lone Tree Council during the debates over the Dow Funded Health Study in 2002.

WORTH  CHECKING  OUT . . .
Detroit Hip Hop group 2 Phat & the Family Funktion have recently released their 5th full length CD. Long time guitarist and Saginaw native Raymon 'Blackie-G' Gamboa along with Detroit hip hop vocalist 2 Phat and Pontiac's multi-instrumentalist Andy 'Smokehouse' Rybicki have created a carefully crafted collection where their three worlds collide to create the group's biggest musical bang to date.

Their rock 'n hip-hop sound has been taken to a new level, and their arrogant yet humorous Opening a Can of Whoop Ass on Ya Moms' could certainly become a big hit with the Major League.

The highly anticipated and long awaited disc began with a 15-month studio binge inside the infamous 'House Phunk Laboratory on Detroit's West Side. At the end of this exhausting stink, the group finished their work with the well-respected Chuck Alkazian.

This funky, alternative hip-hop collage of 15 tracks is worth checking out and can be found at music stores throughout the tri-city area.
