FOLK meeting to feature talks on mineral rights, U.P. mining Oct. 23

BARAGA -- "Know Your Mineral Rights" and "Metallic Sulfide and Uranium Mining across the UP" will be the subjects of two presentations sponsored by Friends of the Land of Keweenaw (FOLK) at 7 p. m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) Senior Center in Baraga.

Scott Bouma and Theresa Bertossi of Save the Wild UP, a Marquette group opposed to the proposed Kennecott sulfide mine, will give the presentations, following FOLK's General Membership Meeting. The event is free and open to the public.

Directions to the KBIC Senior Center: Going south from Houghton on U.S. 41, turn right onto M-38 in Baraga. After about a half block, turn right (north) onto Main Street. Go about a half mile. The Senior Center is on the left at the big BINGO sign. Call Dave Rulison at 334-2553 if you have questions.
