• Are the Risks Worth It? <br />On August 8. 2002, Mike Oatley, the editor of The Old Lyons Recorder wrote in a <br />"Commentary & Opinion" entitled: "Cemex fire burning plan requires a leap of faith," <br />"The idea that we should err on the side of caution where human health is <br />concerned,... seems to be the best guiding principle at work in this controversy. <br />Cemex's bottom line is not nearly so significant of a concern." <br />• "Good laws rightly applied" <br />There is an unmistakable note of urgency in the matter ofCemex-Lyons. The regulatory <br />agencies must continue to act decisively if we are to assert the right to clean air. <br />E. M. Forster once offered his countrymen words that might guide us in the matter of <br />what to do about Cemex: <br />"If you desire to save the countryside there is only one way: through good laws <br />rightly applied... That is your only hope. A little has already been done: much <br />more can be done in the future. It needs men and women of good will who can <br />continue and work together lest destruction spread and cover the fields and the <br />hills." <br />• How Cau You Help? <br />The Watchdogs'respectfully request your support for MEANINGFUL nND <br />CONTINUOUS AND RIGOROUS AND COMPREHENSIVE OVERSIGHT in the <br />matter ofCemex-Lyons. <br />Thank you so much for your considerations! <br />Sincerely. <br />Ric/~ ~ gilt~~""''..~-~ <br />Executive Director <br />
