Week 6

December 26; Talbott reads We Fight Issues; They Fight Personalities, and comments that he had bought into the MAGIC proponents' claims that those who were speaking out against the corruption and ethical "problems" in the Katahdin region were "conspiracy theorists" until it happened to him, after MAGIC used taxpayer money to apply for a radio station of its own, thereby becoming his competitor. After that, he says, it amazes him to read all sorts of old news stories and learn anew that it's the same story over and over again. He makes fun of the notion that publicizing the corruption is what is causing problems. Again he asks where the more than $1 million of taxpayers’ money has gone.

December 27: Talbott reads "A Review of the 11/13/07 Council Meeting - RE: Our Museum" by Alyce Maragus, which points out how things go one way for Hammond Ridge Development Corp and Ktaadn Resorts and other Matt Polstein/Bruce McLean ventures and a completely different way for non-MAGIC enterprises, specifically the Millinocket Historical Society. In the second half of the show, he reads "Economic Development Without MAGIC," a Kathy Gagnon column about her thoughts about the MPBN show and Millinocket's economic development situation and the idea that Millinocket should be in charge of its own destiny.

Week 7

January 2: Talbott discusses the Lincoln paper’s latest article about MAGIC’s latest grant from Able Works and reads MAGIC’s latest admission that the radio station they’ve applied for is not for Dennis Dunbar after all, but for themselves. He explains how public radio works and that there is no difference between advertisement and sponsorship.

January 3: Talbott tells the whole story behind the misinformation being published by the Lincoln News and reads about MAGIC forming an alliance with the Wilderness Society from the June 19, 2002 minutes of the Millinocket Area Growth & Investment Council (MAGIC) . He calls once again for an accounting of the taxpayer money spent to fund MAGIC.

Week 8

January 7: Talbott plays the audio from “Matt’s Patented Temper Tantrum” and a previous Polstein tantrum after a woman in the audience of the town council shook her head.

January 8: Talbott plays various segments of Millinocket Town Councilor Matt Polstein’s televised temper tantrum, highlighting the “It’s not about me” statement. He outlines again how it came to this.

January 9:Talbott reads from the Katahdin Commons forum and plays the hilarious Matt Polstein melt-down audio. He points out that after 8 weeks of asking the questions about MAGIC, their attempt to spend tax dollars on a competing radio station, MAGIC’s president, Gail Fanjoy has not contacted him. Nor have Bruce McLean or other MAGIC members.

January 10:Talbott discusses MAGIC’s efforts to turn Millinocket into a service community where people are employed selling trinkets or working in hotels and why that will kill the town. He points out that Bruce McLean, Executive Director of MAGIC, makes more than $65,000 a year in tax money running MAGIC, which has failed to bring viable companies into Millinocket other and has gotten large grants for his business partners and family but not for regular residents of Millinocket.

Week 9

January 14: Talbott reads the latest Lincoln News article about his fight to keep Millinocket Area Growth & Investment Council (MAGIC) from using taxpayer funds to become his competitor. He explains to the audience how the Lincoln News is using “MAGIC-speak” to try to dissuade him from talking about what MAGIC and Matt Polstein are doing in the area.

January 15: Talbott has a guest, Roger Ek, on for the entire show. Roger is an expert on environmental groups and their impact on and plans -- some would say schemes -- for Millinocket, the Katahdin Region, Maine, and most of the country. This is a pretty good primer for those interested in rural cleansing and the implementation of the green agenda.

January 16: Talbott informs his listeners about the illegal meetings between Millinocket town councilors Matthew A. Polstein, Gail Fanjoy, Avern Danforth, and David Nelson regarding the proposed annexation of Hammond Ridge, before Matt Polstein disclosed to the public that he had bought Hammond Ridge and intended to put his Ktaadin Resorts project there. Talbott read the actual illegal emails which violated the Open Meetings Act laws and from an editorial about the entire deal.

January 17: Talbott went over the week's broadcasts, including Roger Ek's interview. He explains that the used to dismiss such things as rural cleansing as "conspiracy theories" but after looking into the matter, has changed his mind. He vows to not give up however long it takes. He reads an anonymous letter from anonymous "Concerned Citizens." He makes fun of MAGIC president Gail Fanjoy's claim that "85% of the people support MAGIC" despite the two referenda which dealt MAGIC its loss of funding in Millinocket. He goes into Gail Fanjoy's statement that the East Millinocket selectmen had no right to tell MAGIC what they can do in East Millinocket since $15,000 doesn't buy them all that.

Week 10

January 21: Talbott read Alyce Maragus's column "Special Council Meeting of 1/08/08 - Part II" and “Part III”, which details Councilors Matt Polstein (owner of Ktaadn Resorts), Bruce McLean (Executive Director of MAGIC), and Jimmy Mingo (perpetual MAGIC proponent) to stop the town from buying the Newberry building which former MAGIC consultant Guilds Hollowell defaulted on with his failed "Katahdin Cultural Center."

January 22: Day 65 of "Katahdin Region Held Hostage by MAGIC". Talbott plays the audio from a recent town council meeting wherein the various councilors discuss the fact that the mill is doing very well competitively and Jimmy Busque announced that they are in the process of hiring more people. They have announced that there are "hundreds of jobs" about to become available. Wally Paul said he was in a meeting with the mill manager who said his main concern is whether or not they can find enough people to hire. All without taxpayer money.

January 23: Talbott asks business owners who support MAGIC to put signs up to that effect. He plays some audio from the Millinocket Town Council meeting about loans from the town which have not been repaid. Matt Polstein's motion to have loans to the town either repaid or forgiven and his suspicion that Lisa Pelkey Hayes is the loan being discussed. He pointed out that Matt Polstein was one of the councilors who voted to give Lisa Pelkey Hayes the loan both times. He reads a thread from the Katahdin Commons about Bob Benjamin's properties and the fact that he was outbid on the Newberry building and the hypocrisy of some people who say that the town should not be buying property with taxpayers' money but think it's okay for MAGIC to start businesses which compete against local businesses with taxpayer money. He plays councilor Jimmy Busque announcing to the Town Council that the mill will be looking to hire a couple of hundred workers "off the street" and council chairman Wally Paul's description of how finding enough people to hire is the welcome problem the mill is about to have.

January 24: Talbott plays clips from the Millinocket town council meeting including Councilor Scott Gagnon explaining the high rating of papermaking the mill got, and Jimmy Busque discussing job openings. Talbott points out that the only bad news these days appears to be MAGIC. He reviews the steps MAGIC and its supporters have been taking to institute a boycott against WSYY and asks again that businesses supporting MAGIC put signs up to that effect, since MAGIC president Gail Fanjoy has insisted that 85% of the citizens support MAGIC. He again plays the clip where Councilor Matt Polstein discussses the delinquency of some of those who have been granted loans from the town that "It's embarrassing to the borrowers and frankliy i think it's embarrassing to the town..." He explains how Polstein wants to sell the building to Bob Benjamin for $2,000 less than they town paid for it.
