so sad to read in today Record that over 30 
homesteads were torn down for this quarry. All for nothing.  I wonder if 
anyone photographed them and wrote about their stories.

      Highland 
      withdraws Melancthon quarry plans
      The 
      proposed quarry in Melancthon is dead.On 
      Wednesday (Nov. 21), The Highland Companies announced it has withdrawn its 
      application to the province for a licence to mine 2,316 acres of land in 
      Melancthon for limestone. As a result, Highland plans to continue to focus 
      on its farming operations.“While we 
      believe that the quarry would have brought significant economic benefit to 
      Melancthon Township and served Ontario’s well-documented need for 
      aggregate, we acknowledge that the application does not have sufficient 
      support from the community and government to justify proceeding with the 
      approval process,” John Scherer, principal of The Highland Companies, said 
      in a news release.Highland also intends to 
      discontinue its efforts to restore the rail corridor through Dufferin 
      County. In addition, Highland announced that John Lowndes has resigned 
      from his role as president and has no further involvement with the 
      company.Check back here for 
      more.
