Attended hy approximaîely 150 residentu, the meeting covered vaeious aspects of the fight againsi Lowndes Holdings' proposed quarry. Members of FORCE discuused the facts of the quany witb regards 10 size and loca- tion as well as the impact on the conamuni- ly and the environmen. If Lowndes Holdings' application is sue- cessfo, the quaey wil e the eighth largeur quany in Canada. * But FORCE is doing everytbing it cas to *ensure that docon't happen. ack thae, a ido Graani, fchair "Wek thae, ai subaalnt, hactrt and spokesperson for FORCE. "But, as Use saying goes, weev oniy jour hegun. fils going to take a long time (before the matier is resolved)." Memhers; ni FORCE strongly believe Usai Usy wIl sein the case againsi Losendes Holdings hecause of the impact Usey say a Squarry wnuld have on Use surrounding ivet- lands, water supply and residential area. A quaery established in ibis rural community would drastirally lower property values and damage Use standard ni living Use rei dents have alseays enjoyed, Usey betieve. Another reasun FORCE believes it will win is the legal represenration rt has obtained. 'The tawyer serv hired, Rod Northey, M.A., LL.M.. or Bircnaît Nornhey, prac- ices exclusively in enviroomenral lase,' s aid Mr. Flint. "He hasn't tosi a case yet. H es excellent!" Marty resrdents are showing Useir support for FORCE and stopping the qUarry nor only by attending the meetings and con- tributing much-needed moneîary commit- menîs, but by talking 10 their neighbors and posîîng sigos on their lawns. Sonne resi- dents are outraged that someone woîrtd Usink of pfaring a qary in their communi- ty. "I jusr fet overwhetmed hy he idea f' (the proposrd quarry),' saîd Nancy Stevens, a Mitboroagh Lîne resîdent. "We've been in Caruphetîville for tIf years and love il. 1 realty think we cas heat t"- Another residenr, Jean Woods, is worried about the water. "Wr have suih bai, pure seater, with a lovely taste and we were told that we had enough waîer 10 irrigare our wbote ti if we ever wanted tus put an irrigation sys- rerri in. There is no guarantee that if we have to go deeper onto anorher aqaîfer thar the qualiîy or amount (fo seater) wilt be as gooi. Some residenîs, Usough, have taken a dif- ferent vtew on the matter. 'With att Use housing going up in Use OTA, the demand for timestone is high,' sard Bert Walton, a Campbettvitte resîdent. "There wîtt always be people upset no0mai- 1er wbere the quarry gocs. As far as Use extra truck traffir, I have 7201 vehicles go past my hoase in an bour. AnoUser 45 a day is not going to make a lot ni differ- ence.
