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), but updates of the newspage will be made much more infrequently. 
   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.
