Michel's letter ( ). :'e s, this is the 11th hour if you want to help preserve our Front Range fron further raping by the Castle Concrete Company. The aforementioned company is appling for a permit to increase the: present 30 acres of Queen's Canyon Quarry to 72 acres. That's right, an ~.dditional 42 acres, which is more than doubling the size of 'The Scar'. Our (?) City Council doesn't seem concern. I haven't seen or heard one make a stand against further devastation of our Front Range. But, a more important question is: What do YOU want ??? Do you want to see 'The Scar' increase by 140 % by the year 2032 -?? Are you ~• concerned of the precedent this might set (after all, there's alsc Pikeview Quarry to the north, and Snyder Canyon in Manitou) ??? If you don't care, well just continue with keeping yourself busy with all this Roliday adc, and don`t show up at December's 21st (Wednesday) public hearing at 9 a. m., a.t Centennial Hall, corner of S. Cascade and Vermijo. If you do care, show up at the meet- ing and bring a friend. Also, why not take the next 30 minutes of your time and convey YOUR feelings to the: s. Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Board 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203. Better yet, send a letter to the Editor with a copy to the Board. It's not too late, for the final decision on expansion of the present quarries won't be until January 2, 1978. Come on Coloridians, how about a Christmas present for good ole Colorado Springs ??? Use the next 30 minutes to write that letter -- Don't put it off, for it won't get done. It's up to YOU::: You do care, don't you ??? T. C.
