Residents concerned about proposed CFO (06/01/06)
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
(May 25, 2006)
As concerned neighbors in the area of Jay County roads 300 West and 200 North, there are plans to build a pig nursery. We are very opposed to it.
A few years ago when everything flooded, our area was flooded four times. With Wal-Mart and a factor expanding in the north end of Portland, that just increases the potential of more flooding.
The last flood flooded the Wehrly Ditch so much that the roads were flooded up to three-fourths of a mile north of Ind. 26. Several of the roads going north from Ind. 26 were impassable because of the flood.
If one farm with confined livestock is permitted there will be several more coming into this area.
Think of the environmental affects, the pollution of the waterways and the inability to be outdoors for picnics, barbeques or just recreation because of the odor of these facilities.
Please write to Mr. Long if these concerns are important to you.
These letters should be sent by registered mail to insure reception.
The address is:
Tyson Long, Solid Waste Permit Section, Office of Land Quality, 100 North Senate Ave., Indianapolis, IN, 46204-2251.
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Overla, Deolla Bond, Bob Brelsford and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Smith
Portland
Prices too high
To the editor:
On Wednesday, Portland was once again a front runner in the state of Indiana. Unfortunately for the citizens of Portland, it wasn’t one to cheer about.
Portland gas prices were a mere four cents away from the highest price in Indiana, and nowhere near the bottom with a safe lead of 18 cents per gallon against some of the more conservative fuel providers.
People should conduct business locally, which is a key for Portland to grow economically. Businesses should not take advantage of consumers in this rural area. That is the other key.
It seems Portland is always on top of the price bar.
Just Saturday Portland was 30 cents higher per gallon than Muncie and Anderson, and 22 cents higher than Dunkirk.
Here is one I don’t understand. The price of gas fluctuates due to various reasons (excuses). Why does it always fluctuate up at a much faster and higher rate than it ever flucuates back down?
