that part at the end is most disturbing, about how they were not authorized to
tear any of these structures down -this is what it says....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT color=#000080><STRONG>At a public meeting on
June 20, 2009 in Honeywood, Highland Companies spokesperson said these
homes had been condemned and were uninsurable and had to be torn
down. The Chief Building Official for the County of Dufferin,
however, has confirmed that no such orders were issued by the building
department who is the only authorized authority for this type of
order.</STRONG> </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>you would think someone would've noticed this
destruction taking place and taken action before it got so far, but that's
easy for me to say not knowing the exact circumstances.</FONT></DIV>

proposed quarry in Melancthon is dead.<BR style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 15px">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Wednesday (Nov. 21), The Highland Companies announced it has withdrawn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.<BR
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 15px">“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.<BR
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 15px">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.<BR
