Great page, good idea Wendy ….look forward to hearing more about the dry limestone park west of Discovery Bay…but will it be practical right beside a quarry and stone crushing operation ? Because it looks like the Dept of Mines will be renewing this license ad infinitum.

Wendy,
When I read the article in North Coast Times I was shocked to read so many lies about the Bahia meeting. That is why I called you and Mr. Lawrence right away to get a copy and read about the lies.
Could the reporter not see the difference between Mr. Rodney Kerr and Mr. Othneil Lawrence? How on earth could he / she put Mr. Kerr’s outrageous words as statements from Mr. Lawrence?
I myself think the whole meeting was a sham. I have never tried to speak in public before and was shocked and dismayed how the reps at the table reacted when I tried to bring up my point. I was not allowed to finish my points, while others (of course, those in favour of Bahia, because they benefit financially) were able to say all the crap they wanted, that had nothing to do with the actual reason of the meeting.
Well, as far as I am concerned, the North Coast Times has lost its credibility. They should have named the article ‘Corruption and Money Talks’.
The Publisher owes NJCA a big apology for this outrageous article, and will have to publish an explanation.

I am kinda bent out a shape on this one because i feel powerless to halt a process.
Why must we develop everything cant we just leave it Natural?
Please keep me posted because if there is a public forum on this I would like to attend
