i 12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, December 14,1994 Citizens Seek Preservation Of Bowmanville Wetlands Bowmanville Rotarians Host Annual Children's Christmas Party From page 11 north of Cedar Crest Beach Road. "It is important to clarify this because because there is a perception in the minds of some that the proposal presented presented by St. Marys involves giving up plans to mine a portion of the marsh to make room for the reconstructed reconstructed wetland," White noted. Other points White examined included included the fact that where the new marsh is to be created there is a 10- foot high berm. White said St. Marys did not discuss discuss the excavation of the berm to help create a new marsh nor the idea that the licence allowing Westside Marsh to be quarried is only one of many approvals required. "These approval requirements have not changed since St. Marys made its decision to invest $200 million. Under the Aggregate Resources Resources Act, the Minister has always had the right to rescind or revise quarry licences and this does not represent a change." He asked: "Would St. Marys please explain what rules they believe believe have changed?" Mavis Carlton, President of the Port Darlington Community Association, Association, said about one-half of the res idents of the beach-side community arc original owners, and date back further than the SL Marys Cement company. She said the residents arc not against the company, but have rights as property owners as well, which should not be ignored. "Let's work together. Residents also have rights," Carlton said. She wondered out loud if the quality of life the residents have now will be disturbed as the quarry moves closer to their homes. While St. Marys talked about its needs in economic terms, Carlton said, "the environment and the economy economy must be given equal footing." Boris Mather, of Citizens for a Lakcshore Greenway, said while local local residents arc concerned, many others arc too. "The bulk of our members live in Toronto. So, why are we concerned about the marsh and its placement in greenway link, you may ask? We're concerned because it is our link too." He suggested that the company look to the lands Ontario Hydro won't be using for another nuclear station for limestone rather than the marsh. Remember to Mail Your 1994 Christmas Seals Contribution • Remember the Christmas Seal letter letter you received in November, and stored in your desk drawer for attention attention when the holiday got closer? Well, the Lung Association (Durham Region) hopes you'll pull that letter out again and return your Christmas Seal contribution during "Mail It Week", December 19th to 23rd. Local Lung Association President, Carolyn Greer, said her Association hopes that 7,000 people across Durham Durham Region will answer their Christmas Christmas Seal letter during the week, bringing the Association closer to its 1994 Christmas Seal goal of $185,000. So far, only about $70,000 has been raised, compared with $80,000 raised last year to this date. "Christmas Seal income is again down this year" Ms. Greer said. "We hope people will respond generously during Mail It Week, which commemorates commemorates the 88th anniversary of the first issue of Christmas Seals. Those very first Seals, created to fight tuberculosis, had a big job to do. They still do today". Christmas Seals now fight all forms of lung disease, including lung cancer, emphysema, asthma and tuberculosis, tuberculosis, which is again becoming a problem in certain areas. Christmas Seal dollars fund lung disease research, research, stop smoking programs, clean air, school health programs and community community rehabilitation services. If you haven't received a Christmas Christmas Seal package and would like to support the Campaign, please call the Lung Association of Durham Region at 905-436-1046.

Bowmanville High School students students Patty Kay and Jessica Kingy- ens said the marsh is a precious commodity. Kay observed: "We only have one marsh, we only have one chance." Cedar Crest Beach Road resident Debbie Houston told Crombic she and her family bought their house three years ago. She said because of where they live, everything they do to their property has to be within guidelines and limits that have been set. Yet, she noted St. Marys Cement Cement was able to build a large dock. Joan Van Meer echoed Gordon White's comments in saying, "St. Marys has worked hard to downgrade downgrade the significance of the marsh." She called for a "full environmental environmental assessment for an independent independent outlook." During the question and answer period following the first eight speakers, a resident asked through Crombie if St. Marys would be willing willing to sell any or all of its holdings.
