Sulphur Spot Price Comparison (FMB Weekly Sulphur Report – 12
October 2006, p. 2)
Note: As of November 6, 2007, the
Lamont-County Environment (LCE)
is a blog that was started to permit posts of environmental news about, and comments on,
industrial and community developments that affect the environment and
circumstances of the residents in Lamont County and its communities.
The LCE Blog is associated with this website, folc.ca (where “folc”
signifies: “For our Lamont County”).
The newspage of folc.ca will
continue to exist at this page (only as a headline-news index
from which links point to corresponding detailed entries at LCE Blog).
Posting, administrating and searching of news items at the news page
of folc.ca became far too cumbersome and will be greatly more convenient
at LCE Blog
for you and for me.
