Thought-provoking free movies in Prost!

February 14, 2012 / admin / No comments

The following is from Carol Tvaroh, who belongs to an organization called Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan (HCHP). On at least one previous occasion, the group screened a video (Michael Moore’s “Sicko”) in Prost, at the Public House. They asked to come back with a series of documentaries and we’re delighted to accommodate them.

The schedule of upcoming films is as follows …

 

Feb. 20th – THE LAST MOUNTAIN (about mountain-top removal coal mining)
                
Massive profit allows Big Coal to wield incredible financial influence over lobbyists and government officials in both parties, rewrite environmental protection laws, avoid lawsuits and eliminate more than 40,000 mining jobs.  (Official selection 2011 Sundance Film Festival)
                                                   
April 2nd – GASLAND (about fracking)  Winner Special Jury Prize  2010 Sundance Film Festival for best US documentary.
               
GASLAND documents Josh Fox’s cross-country odyssey to investigate the controversial process of hydraulic fracturiing to obtain natural gas.  Fox was recently arrested while trying to record a Senate hearing on “fracking” for a followup documentary.

April 16th – SICKO (why the US health care system isn’t working for most people)
                
An accurate and scathing indictment of America’s failing health care system by award-winning film-maker, Michael Moore.

May 21st – THE HEALTH CARE MOVIE – contrasting the US and Canadian health care systems
               
A documentary made by Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland, who is the grandson of Tommy Douglas, the most popular person ever in Canada for giving them their health care system.  It’s a good description of their system, contrasted with that of the U.S.

June 11th – PRAIRIE GIANT – a biopic about Tommy Douglas and his struggle to establish Canada’s health care system.

Our Cellarman’s Recommendations

February 16, 2012 / nabc / No comments

We have just a week until Gravity Head kickoff. I have been in the deepest depths of the Pizzeria and Public house getting everything ready. Checking and rechecking to make sure all goes as planned. We are also approaching tap emptying time. Selections on the guest draft side will be diminishing over the next week. This is to ensure that we are able to kickoff with the most Gravity Head beers possible. So come in and get some lower alcohol beer while you still can. My recommendations and Friday draft specials can be found below.

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye – Rye IPA
Flat 12 Nunmoere – American Black Ale

From Cassel to New Albany

Three of us were struggling up a fairly steep incline, our creaking rental bicycles squeaking and straining over ascending cobblestones. As a proponent of the manly cycling virtues, I found it impossible to admit that I lacked both gears and legs, and kept churning forward, but at some point I glanced backward and saw that my pal Tim Eads had given up the ghost …
