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